Nova's apartment had never been as lonely as it was that very moment. He had returned home after the fog from the explosion of poison joke had lifted and passed out from the exhaustion it had caused him. He awoke sometime in the middle of the night, soft moonlight shone through the closed curtains. He looked at him self intently... Nope, still a mare. He walked out awkwardly into the living room, looking around as if someone were there to see him. What's wrong with me? I'm embarrassed to be walking around in my own home! He thought to himself. He might as well eat something though. His stomach agreed with him, emitting a low grumble to signify its hunger.

Stardust had spent the day in that clinic, and was well into the night when she was finally cleared to leave. Thankfully they had gotten her to professional care safely - any unicorn could fix the external bruising but it took time and procedure to take the steps and make sure the trauma caused no internal damage. As it was, the griffin had managed to land a more solid blow then first glance would have suggested - the sonar in her left ear had gone out, effectively limiting her ability to fly even if she could walk just fine. It was annoying, but the clinic had already sent the report to her superior, and she would have to take the next three nights off.

A bandage was now wrapped about her head, the only sign of what had transpired, as she walked toward Nova's house. She owed him a big-time thank you, she knew that much, and she would also have to thank Gust the next time they met. There was a small stumble in her steps as she walked up the stairs, but nevertheless her pace didn't falter as she approached the door and gave a knock. "Nova?"

Nova's head made a snap towards to door. Oh crap! He dove for the couch and hid under a blanket, and with his new feminine voice shouted "Don't come in!" He quickly realized the error of his plan. 1.) Star knew he was home now. and 2.) He sounded like a mare, and that could only create more problems for him. He cringed and tightly wrapped himself in the blanket. "Nopony's home!" Damnit! Why did he keep talking?!

At the sound of (Nova's) voice coming from the other side of the door, Stardust took a number of steps back, suddenly fearing the worst. Why could she hear an unfamiliar female voice from the other side? Why was she being told not to come in, then promptly being told an obvious lie? Surely he couldn't be...

The bitterness welling up in her swelled. Clearly he hadn't expected her back so soon, and had thought he may as well have some fun. "Fine." she said, just managing to keep her voice from breaking. "Just... just..."

Then she turned her head away and walked toward the stairwell, biting her lower lip. It wasn't like they were officially a set couple, but they were good friends and on-again-off-again daters. So why did she feel betrayed?

"... Oh no..." It had turned out much worse than Nova had expected. He forgot entirely about his problem and dashed for the door, flinging it open and jumping out into the hall. He had to double take to find Stardust just before she hit the stairwell "Stardust! Wait! Don't go!" He shouted and ran towards her.

It was a miracle Stardust had managed to hold it in for this long as she approached the stairs, and at this rate she wondered if she could even make it outside before she broke down. As she prepared to walk off, she heard the mare's voice again, calling her name. "Wh-.. wha...?" she asked, her voice flat and dead at first until she looked around and it was replaced with a confused stare. Slowly she took a step away from the stairs, staring at Nova all the while.

She couldn't say anything. Words refused to come to her mouth, though it remained open and in shock. She couldn't move, or even look away - her mind had crashed.

The silence was... haunting. They stared at each other for a while before Nova spoke up again. "I-It's me. Nova." He said, he still couldn't get used to his feminine voice, resisting the urge to try and clear is throat again. "I know this is really weird, but it's really me! There was this guy, and he had a vial full of poison joke and when he dropped it there was this huge cloud and it covered the whole city. Totally flip-flopped EVERYPONY." He had to register it in his mind for a moment but he finally notice that Stardust was still, well, female. "Wait, why didn't it effect you?.."

It was too much for Stardust to grasp. First she had suffered a serious blow to the head, then she went to the hospital, then she went to Nova's home and now he was a mare. It all made sense now, and a smile came to her face.

"I get it now." she said, her voice eerily calm despite her earlier emotional state. "I suffered serious trauma from that griffin hitting me in the side of the head, I went to the hospital and now I'm still there. This is all just a figment of my imagination. You're not real, you're just a hallucination..." she said, her voice becoming desperate as she collapsed to the ground. "And when I wake up I'll be in the clinic, and it'll be sunset the following morning." she rambled on, looking at the "imaginary" Nova with a smile. "Though I must say you're kinda cute in a mare's body..." she added, before giving a delusional giggle.

Nova couldn't believe his ears. She was trying to play it of as a dream. "I.." Wait, she just called him cute? "Sh-Shut up! I am not!" If there was a wall to hide behind, he would have. "Come on, I'm being serious! That really happened! Practically everypony in the city is like this. Gender-swapped that is." He couldn't believe he was still trying to explain this. And he STILL couldn't believe it had actually happened.

"Okay, okay..." Stardust said, the smile on her face making it clear she continued not to believe him. "Then I suppose you wouldn't mind telling me why the doctor who cleared me from the clinic - the same doctor who brought me in, mind you - is still a stallion?" she asked, tilting her head as if challenging him to debate his point.

That was a good question. He had to think about it. "Oh, wait!" He said in sudden realization. "The clinic is underground! There's no way the poison joke fog could have reached down there!" He felt satisfied with that answer. He sure hoped that Stardust would be too. He couldn't handle too much more of this. "You don't seriously still think this is a dream do you?"

Stardust opened her mouth to reply, but paused. Sure, she didn't like to admit it, but his argument held water. Slowly she closed her mouth. "That must be it then..." she said absentmindedly. "So then, that mare in your room? You promise that really was you?" she asked, looking back up at him.

He smiled with relief. "Yeah, just me." he said "Same ol'... Well, not the same. But still Nova." He scratched the back of his head. "C-Can we go back inside before someone sees me..." He said, a small blush of embarrassment coming across his face. "I can make you something to drink if you want."

"That'd be nice." she replied absentmindedly, stumbling quite a bit as she followed Nova back to her - *HIS* apartment.

Once the two of them were inside and Stardust had taken a seat, accepting a small bottle of water, her mind suddenly caught up with her, and she began to look around, no longer dazed. "So... how did *this* happen, anyway?" she asked, looking him over with a barely-supressed laugh.

Nova walked into his... well, HER apartment and sat down on her dirty couch. "Well, there wa-Hey! Don't laugh at me!" She shouted, blushing with embarrassment "There was this scientist with a vial of concentrated poison joke. I thought he looked suspicious, so I went and talked to him. I guess I startled him, because he dropped it and there was this wicked huge cloud of smoke that covered the whole city. Now almost everypony's like this." She sighed, still not used to her new voice.
