Never Turned Down a Bet

Rainbow Dash was never one to turn down a bet. Even if it was an absolutely ridiculous Pinkie Pie bet. Rainbow Dash was simply hanging out with her friends one fine Ponyville afternoon, when a sudden thought raced into Pinkie’s mind. It immediately visible to everyone else as she got super excited, unable to contain herself or the idea. “Ooh! Ooh! Girls! I just had the best idea for an eating contest,” she said.

Already interested, Rainbow Dash asked, “What is it?”

Pinkie turned to face the group, eyes beaming. “‘I could eat a horse, hooves and all!’”

They each cocked their head a little bit to try and understand her statement. Pinkie shook her head and clarified, “An eating contest where you eat other ponies!”

Twilight Sparkle responded carefully, “Pinkie, there’s no way a pony could swallow another pony whole. Their bodies aren’t made for--”

“I’ll try!”

Rainbow Dash was standing confidently, sure that she could win this contest despite any biological restrictions. After all, she’s broken barriers before. What’s one more?

Twilight tried to continue, “Dash, you can’t just--”

She shushed the bookworm before any more doubts could come out. “I can do it, Twi! It’ll be easy.” She was already licking her lips, hopping slightly in place. “So who’s the mark, Pink?” Looking around at random ponies on the street, “That one? That one? Him? Her? Or what about--”

Applejack stepped up and stopped her thoughts. “I reckon that I’ll volunteer for this hogwash. Doesn’t seem right to let Dash here try and bother some random pony.” She chuckled, “Plus I’ve already been in her mouth once before.”

The orange earth pony stepped up to Dash, a bit confused on what to do next. Twilight remained skeptical, Pinkie remained eager, and Fluttershy and Rarity stood on the sidelines with quiet interest. Rainbow Dash scanned the soon-to-be-meal in front of her, figuring out the best line of attack. She ended up walking around to her behind, lifting up her hind legs and placing them in her mouth. Applejack remained standing awkwardly, trying to crane her head back to get a good look at what was happening to her legs.

But she was able to easily feel what was happening. With a hard swallow, her hooves became enveloped by RD’s throat. To the other ponies not involved, they could easily see her hooves bulging out of the pegasus. Everyone but Pinkie was shocked. She only became more excited. The rest of Applejack’s legs slid in easily, bringing RD’s mouth up to her hindquarters. Applejack felt some anxiety at there being that much progress, but she remained outwardly confident. She said, “Is that all you got, Dash? I’ve seen rabbits with a bigger appetite!”

Rainbow Dash couldn’t respond, but she seemed to try and grin. Applejack was suddenly knocked off her hooves as Dash gulped down to her mid-torso. AJ could feel her hind hooves inside her predator’s stomach now, once again worrying her. She had no time to make a confident remark as her body jerked deeper once more. All that was left dangling outside of Rainbow Dash was Applejack’s head and front legs.

Pinkie Pie was practically bouncing at this point, while the rest remained in shock. Applejack said, with shakes in her voice and a nervous chuckle, “Alright Dash, you’ve proved your point! How’s about you let me out?” The pegasus couldn’t respond, but her decision was made known when Applejack continued to fall into Rainbow Dash’s depths. As Dash’s lips passed over the earth pony’s head, her hat was knocked to the ground. Then with one more swallow, all that was outside were just orange hooves. They were quickly slurped up, bringing the entire pony to her belly.

Dash was finally able to relax, falling into a sitting position as she massaged her bulging gut. “See girls, told you I could do it!” She licked her lips, savoring the lasting taste of the earth pony.

Hooves hit against the inside of her stomach visibly and an angry voice said, “Let me out, Dash! I’m not pegasus food!”

In response, the pegasus burped, letting out a few orange hairs. “Well for not-food, you’re super tasty and filling!”

Pinkie Pie came over to Dash’s belly, hugging Applejack through it and resting her head against it. The gurgling and bubbling coming from it delighted her. She looked up at RD and asked, “Do you think you could fit any more ponies in there?”

Twilight frowned. “Pinkie, I really don’t think--”

The pegasus interrupted again, “I think I could fit maybe one more.”

Pinkie squealed and pulled out a collection of straws with different lengths from her mane. “Draw to see who gets eaten by Dashie!”

Each of the other ponies reluctantly drew straws as the blue horse eyed them hungrily. Twilight had a moment of fear as she drew the longest straw, but Pinkie simply shook her head. Pinkie drew herself a short straw, but then Fluttershy drew a shorter straw. Rarity confidently took one last straw: the shortest one of all.

Her jaw dropped at her luck. She looked at the other three ponies, each with a sense of relief (except for Pinkie Pie, who started to rebuild excitement). As she turned to try and avoid her fate, she saw nothing more than a pink maw approaching to wrap around her face. Rainbow Dash clamped down gently onto Rarity’s muzzle, locking eyes with the fancy unicorn. She was standing up once more, despite the massive gut dangling between her legs. Using her tongue, she was able to swallow down Rarity’s head. The rest of her tried to pull back, but Dash’s throat was holding onto its meal tightly.

The rest watched with fascination as Dash seemed to grow bigger, gulping down the unicorn with ease. Inside her, Applejack watched as Rarity’s head appeared at the entrance of the stomach. The fleshy sac was already tight around the earth pony, with juices soaking into her back and tail. As RD swallowed down her second meal, the unicorn spilled onto the earth pony. They were crammed together as more and more of Rarity disappeared from the outside world.

Finally, Rarity’s hind hooves vanished with a wet gulp, then their shape faded into the writhing, bulgy belly. The two ponies inside tried to get comfortable, but it simply wasn’t happening. While they did so, Rainbow Dash posed confidently, having accomplished a great feat. Her legs only barely still reached the ground as a massive gut plopped against the ground under her. Fluttershy clapped softly and nervously, Twilight just stared ahead, and Pinkie dived forward to hug the belly again. She could feel the two other ponies beneath the furry skin, complaining all the while.

A rather posh voice said, “Ugh! Rainbow Dash, I can't believe you'd treat a lady like this.” Then she whispered, “Applejack darling, could you scoot over a bit?”

The country mare kicked the stomach walls and said, “Yes ma'am your highness, I'll just find myself some extra space, in this gut.”

“Well you're ruining my mane.”

“Your mane? If we don't get out soon I reckon it'll be much more than our manes.”

Twilight stepped up and gently prodded Dash’s stomach, shuddering from the feeling. “Well, good job Rainbow Dash, but how--”

Interrupting the alicorn once more, Rainbow Dash belched in her face, letting out spittle, purple hair, and orange hair. “Told ya I could do it, Twi! Should’ve never doubted me.” Her belly bragged as well, growling loudly over the complaints of its occupants.

“It’s not that, Dash. Good job, but how are you going to get them out?”

Rainbow Dash’s confident expression faltered. She considered her stomach, with her two meals struggling around inside. It admittedly felt great and they had tasted great. She wasn’t too keen to release them anytime soon, as much as they fought otherwise. Pinkie looked up at her with doe eyes, though she wasn’t sure what that meant. So Dash shrugged. “Maybe we can just wait and see what happens?”

Twilight raised a hoof to try and counter her again, but she realized she actually had no idea what would happen next. At this point, her notions of equine biology were well broken. She looked at the bloated blue belly, the movements inside slowing down. Perhaps they were tired? Of course, there was a chance that her stomach was more powerful than previously understood. There were too many variables, so the alicorn finally decided to relent. They would just have to wait.

Over the next few days, Rainbow Dash was forced to stay at Twilight Sparkle’s library. It turned out that carrying the weight of two other ponies wasn’t good for flying. Twilight monitored her closely over the next few days, watching as her body managed to digest two full ponies. Pinkie visited a few times, especially loving to rub and snuggle the increasingly soft belly. However, her belly had also shrunk, using up the nutrients provided by the two ponies.

RD stretched out her wings, fluttering them a little bit and also checking out the rest of her body. Applejack and Rarity made ample additions across her, making her much thicker than she was before. She worried about her speed now, but felt a different desire sparking up inside her.

Twilight walked over, floating a book in front of her. “Well Dash, some good news. Seems like your two meals should be well and fine. Seems like ponies have some sort of magic that actually…” Rainbow Dash tuned her out, instead staring idly out the window. She focused on all the random ponies strolling about, looking absolutely delicious in their multiple colors. And absolutely edible, she knew. She wouldn’t be able to fly, but maybe that didn’t matter with a whole new world of cuisine to explore.

The bookworm continued, “...and so basically they should be back in a…” She looked up from her book to a hungry-looking pegasus. “...few…” The pegasus’ stomach growled. “...days.” Rainbow Dash licked her lips. She was eager to start her new journey.
