 TWILIGHT'S FIRST MEAL
 The lavender unicorn's stomach growled. She was famished, and she knew what was in the cupboards just wouldn't do. She closed the book she was reading on natural selection among animals, and evaluated her position.
 A week before, she'd had a revelatory and educational experience with Princess Celestia, lost two friends and gained a few kg all in the same day. Ever since then she'd been craving the ultimate in controversial food choices.
 Another pony.
 Twilight Sparkle wanted to try out what her mentor had oh-so-skillfully demonstrated, and to finally experience the same thing she'd seen from the outside many times.
 It wasn't common knowledge that Celestia indulged herself with the occasional equine.
In-fact, Twilight may have been one of only a couple to have found out, and definitely to have witnessed it first-hoof. She knew Celestia did it to maintain her energy and to help her with her momentous duties to Equestria, but what reason did /she/ have? Curiosity? Cravings? Science? Or was she just looking for excuses to commit (admittedly delicious) homicide? She shook her head before she realised she'd done it. Such questions didn't matter right now, she was hungry and her stomach wouldn't take "No" for an answer.
 She'd have to find somepony not too important, one that would be better off as fuel for her rather than whatever meaningless things they bothered with.
Luckily, her stay in the Canterlot Grand Hotel still had a few days left before she had to return to the library, so that gave her ample time to find a prospective meal, consume them and digest at her leisure.
 She got out her notepad, and began to plan...
 --------------------
 It was bright and early. The bustling Canterlot streets were alive with activity.
 Caramel Smooch, a young Pegasus fresh off the train from Manehattan trotted through the market, admiring the various stalls selling everything from exotic fruit to small animal snacks. She trotted up to one and bought a docile little bird.
"That'll be 15 bits, Miss" Said the pony at the counter.
"Enjoy your meal!"
The small thing cooed at her, she gave it a warm smile and enveloped its body in her mouth, sucking on it and moving it around a little with her teeth before swallowing it whole.
"Well, that makes up for breakfast" she thought as it slid down her throat.
 Something shiny caught her eye; she'd always had a soft spot for nice gems. The stall looked rickety and the outfit the lavender coloured pony at its helm was wearing seemed quite thrown together, but the goods didn't lie, and the owner's didn't either, Caramel appreciated the purple unicorn's rear at a glance but quickly moved on. Various shining crystals and gemstones glittered in the morning sunlight.
She spent a few minutes deliberating on what to get, but there was too much choice, and nothing particular stood out.
"Was the food good?"
Her pondering had been interrupted by the smiling gem stall mare. Caramel was perplexed.
"The whole time you've been standing there your stomach's been wriggling. You've obviously eaten recently, and there aren't too many places here that sell live food these days!"
 Realisation dawned on her.
"Ohh! Yeah, just from over there actually"- she waved a hoof in the general direction of the snack stall. The unicorn seemed satisfied and let her browse for a few moments more before interrupting again.
"You seem a tad conflicted. If you want, I can show you the /real/ good stock back at my place. I don't bring it out here much because my usual market don't have the money for the more expensive stuff, but you seem like you've got a better head on your shoulders and a deeper purse!" She joked.
"Oh, alright yeah sure!"
Caramel and the unicorn began to walk together, saving her to wonder why the unicorn didn't do anything to protect the stall, but brushed it off. The unicorn introduced herself as Twilight. She realised introductions would be helpful.
"Nice to meet you Twilight! I'm Caramel Smooch, but most people just call me Caramel, Cara for short. I'm on holiday from my course at Manehattan University, I'm studying 'Cooking & Food Artisanship', but my hobby is collecting lovely gems like yours back there."
 They talked as they walked, getting to know each other...
 ------------------------
 Twilight calmly spoke to the airheaded Pegasus, but inside she was buzzing. She met all the criteria. She considered her mental list and Caramel Smooch was from another town, studying an absolutely useless subject, not very astute, as she didn't question her bad outfit or leaving the stool unguarded openly and finally, was easily led back to the hotel.
 The (metaphorical) butterflies in her stomach sped up as she thought about how close she was to fulfilling her naughty plan.
 As she began to daydream, Cara's stomach interjected.
*Groooooooan*
Cara winced and looked apologetic.
"Sorry, I guess that bird isn't agreeing with me, it might take a while to settle down."
Twilight thought for a moment then exclaimed
"Ahah! I have just the spell for this actually, I can speed it up in no time! In-fact you might be done by the time we're there."
 Before Cara could object, Twilight's horn glowed, as did her troubled tummy. She felt it get warmer. It soothingly gurgled its satisfaction, and began to work overtime.
Cara wasn't one to question results, and instead thought of how colourful the bird's blue feathers had been, and what a cute little thing it had been.
 Not long after, Cara's stomach gurgled again, insistently.
"Twilight I think that breakfast wants out, and soon!"
Twi blushed a little at the thought of it, and sped up.
 They got back to the hotel quickly, and Cara practically dived into the bathroom. Twilight lay on the bed and concentrated on the noises from the bathroom. First a dull thump, then crackling followed by a wet slap. Her cheeks reddened once more as her imagination ran wild, alongside the muffled grunts and occasional plops.
 Once Twi got used to the sounds of Cara evacuating everything from her meals the day before, to her avian breakfast this morning, she used the time to plan. She'd have to think on her hooves for this to work properly.
 An indeterminate amount of time later, the door opened. Twilight realised she hadn't heard a flush. Caramel looked sheepish, and hid herself behind the door.
 "Uhhmm Twilight? I'm really sorry but I think I broke your toilet..."
 She laughed nervously. Twilight smiled warmly and said "Don't worry about it, I've done it too many times after eating too much, and that spell I used on you really clears /everything/ out. I'll sort it later."
Cara was visibly relieved. She stepped out and shut the door behind her, and then looked around the room, puzzled.
"Wait, where are the gems?"
 Twilight took a step forward.
 "Ah yeah, well. About that..."
 The unicorn braced herself and cast the spell, a magenta beam hit Caramel in the head and immediately knocked her out. Looked like her book had been correct.
 She breathed a sigh of relief before she realised it was really happening. She was about to eat a whole pony! She used the spells she'd found in an old book from Celestia's personal library that were meant to make it easier on herself, and got to work, wrapping her mouth around Caramel Smooch's rear legs and gingerly moving as to engulf more and more of the mare in her slippery embrace. Hoof, calf, thigh, rear. Twi remembered her experience with Celestia and quickly lapped at Cara's dark but tinged anus, savouring the sweet taste before continuing. Like a python she engulfed her prey, her mind ablaze and her goal singular. Swallow the Pegasus.
 As her stomach accepted the legs entering it, her throat made obscene noises dealing with the sheer volume of food shifting through it. She sped up. She had to hurry, the spell she used wasn't long duration nor particularly powerful. Just as she finished that thought, Cara woke up.
 --------------------
 Caramel had a strange dream about flying blue gems and lavender birds. It had ended with her going to sleep in a lovely warm blanket wrapped around her up to her neck.
 Her eyes opened and reality hit all at once.
She couldn't move, everything felt slimy and weird *glrrk*ing noises were coming from all around her. As she focused, she realised her predicament. Twilight was eating her!
 Just as she began to scream for help, something came free in the unicorn's throat, and Cara instantly slid into red, slimy darkness.
 --------------------
 'Oh my goodness, I've finally done it!' thought Twilight as she forced down the last of Cara, sucking down her brown mane like a noodle.
She rolled onto her back and lay down, flattening out to allow Cara to fully pass into her stomach.
 The distension in her midsection shifted, and with a wet groan, Cara was squeezed entirely into Twilight's warm digestive sac.
 As she laid there, Twilight grinned with excitement, her eyes wide as she stared down at her now enormous gut. “Oh wow…” she moaned as she watched its shape shift and bulge with Cara's struggles within, each one sending tiny waves of pleasure through her body, reacting to the entirely novel feeling.
A muffled yelp of terror and confusion emanated from within, causing Twi to giggle with accomplished satisfaction. “Ha! I did it! How’s it feel to be devoured?” She bragged to her meal.
 "You ate me?! What about the gems? Let me out!" Caramel fired off the three questions like a worried machine gun, fast and loud; she was clearly panicking. Twilight loved it, she had swallowed a pony. Maybe not as gracefully as Celestia could, but with time she'd work it out. She felt a twinge of guilt in the depths of her mind.
*'and Celestia's meals were willing'*
She pushed it out of her head. There was no point in questioning it now it was done.
She remembered to breathe.
 "Don't be silly! Of course I ate you, and there were never any gems here, it's a hotel room for Celestia's sake! You're my food now, there's only one way I'm letting you out, so get used to it and settle down, let auntie Twi take care of you~"
She punctuated the sentence by getting up. Well, trying to get up. Lugging around almost double her bodyweight presented a major problem. She took it slow, and rolled on to her front, planting her hooves onto the floor. The pressure made Caramel's struggling stop for a moment but made her shouting louder. From the outside it seemed to be little more than aggressive stomach rumbling. Twilight smirked and as she grunted and lifted herself up and onto the bed, replied with more force than even she expected.
 “Sorry, you’re where you belong. I told you, you’re nothing but food in the belly of a superior pony, so you might as well get used to it!” Twilight caught herself getting a little too excited.
 Still, she thought, it couldn’t hurt to scare her a bit more, it's not like she'd care in a day or two. Twi's self-justification was good enough for her, and she ignored the fact that her primary motivator for continuing this game was the pleasure she was deriving from it.
 “TWI—TWILIGHT, PLEASE!! I’M NOT FOOD! You have to let me out!”
 Twilight giggled and jiggled her prisoner around, rocking her torso side to side.
“Oh, I don’t have to do anything. In case you haven’t noticed, I’m in charge here. You belong to me now, so get comfy, because it feels pretty nice having you in there.”
As if in agreement, her stomach gurgled loudly. Cara's struggles doubled for a short moment before slowing again.
 "You shouldn't be doing this, I'm no one, I don't deserve this! Couldn't you find, like a criminal or somebody? It's wrong to eat ponies..."
The Pegasus started strong and got quieter as she spoke. Twilight stroked her stomach, thought for a moment then replied.
 "Yes, you're no one. That's exactly why I picked you! It's easier this way, less accountability; I couldn't go and find someone trying to rob a bank or something, that'd be too obvious, and you say it's wrong but we both know what you ate earlier. That was alive two hours ago and now it's sitting in my toilet after having gone through you. You didn't have any problems digesting that animal, since that's the natural order and just how things are. It's the same here: I am the more powerful predator, and you're my prey. You're a big meal for me that happens to be a pony, no different from a bird or baby dragon ending up in one of those snack stalls at the market."
 Caramel gave an indecipherable reply as Twilight's stomach suddenly made a wet, drawn out sound, drowning out the struggling meal for several seconds. The moving bulges got faster.
 Twi grinned at her belly with smug satisfaction. “Ooh, sounds like my belly’s getting ready to digest you, my lovely lunch!” she teased, sitting up against her pillows slightly to get a better view of Cara's renewed squirming. “Are you excited?"
 “LET ME OUT!” Caramel cried out, muffled by the layers of the unicorn's flesh.
"PLEASE! I’M SCARED!” Inside, the stomach seemed to be getting wetter and warmer, as something secreted from the fleshy, wrinkled walls.
 Twilight realised she was very much turned on. It wasn't surprise, given her experiences with Celestia.
 
"Mmmm… you should be scared.” Twilight replied smugly, licking her lips with satisfaction.
“I’m going to digest you alive, Caramel. I’m going to do it slowly, it’s going to hurt, and I’m going to enjoy every moment of it. My tummy will churn you around in my acid until you’re nothing but mush, and then I’ll squeeze you through my guts just like you did to that bird, except /so/ much slower. I'll absorb your nutrients to nourish /my/ body, and you’ll belong to me completely… I'll turn you into nothing but my dung and flank fat.”
 She practically orgasmed right there as she finished the summary. She basked in the feeling of being so stuffed for a few moments more, expecting some strong reply. She heard whimpering.
 "I don't wanna be your poop..."
 Caramel had already lost hope. Twilight felt another pang of her conscience overriding her lust. The pegasus hadn't asked for this or agreed to it like Celestia's meals had, and she hadn't done anything to deserve it. Twilight hadn't been lying, she'd only be letting Caramel out one way: her anus, but she could try to help her come around to the idea of that before she digested.
She tried to put on a softer tone.
 "Hey, hey, it'll be alright. Soon you'll be able to sleep, and it'll all be over. My belly just needs some more time to work on you then you'll be sorted. I can try to use the spell to speed things up, if you want? It will still take a day or two but you won't have to deal with it for that long..."
 Her gut shifted.
"...Do whatever, it's not like it matters for me now anyway..."
 Twilight tried to engage her meal in conversation once more, but with no response, cast the spell on herself. The increased speed of digestion took its toll on her energy and she drifted into a deep slumber.
 ------------------------
20 hours later
------------------------
 Twilight was awoken by her stomach's noises it was again bubbling and groaning loudly.
She blinked to clear her blurry eyes. Checking the clock next to the bed, she was shocked to find almost a day had passed since she'd met the pegasus who was no doubt flowing through her intestines at that moment.
She lumbered out of bed, it was definitely easier to carry the weight now some of it had been burnt off. Looking down, she admired the pregnancy-like drooping bulge of her torso hanging from her frame. She moved side to side and listened to it slosh loudly, and savoured the feeling of thick liquid shifting around inside her. She'd done it. The pegasus was gone, now just sludge to keep her company, just like Pinkie and Shy had been when she had visited Celestia.
 She felt a knock on her back door, and got excited. She would get her first taste of what Celestia felt monthly! Surely Caramel couldn't be done yet, her innards still felt full of liquid, so it must just be the first bits.
 She trotted to the bathroom, opened the door and remembered. Caramel had broken the toilet with her own visit yesterday. In the bowl, a pile of brown balls lay, and a few more formed logs. The logs had off-white bits in them, and one even had a ruined blue feather. Twilight smiled, realising how closely Cara would resemble this, feathers and all. The toilet wasn't too full, she could spare to drop off /some/ of her passenger without issue.
She sat, and strained.
"You feel that? That's me pushing. Pushing your used up remains closer to your final destination. My plot. You should be grateful, out of all the meals to come out of me, you're my first pony. That's quite an honour, Cara, so I hope you appreciate the effort!"
She had to admit, she enjoyed the literal shit-talking. Her ring opened, and soft globs of former pony squeezed out onto the pile the aforementioned pony had produced just a day before. There wasn't much, but Twilight enjoyed it all the same.
"Did you like that? I know I did. You did a number on that bird, so I wonder how you'll compare when I'm finished with you."
 Afterwards, Twi tried to stick to her routine: writing in her diary, reading her book of spells, reading the story she was halfway through, but she eventually got distracted again by her prey turned three-course meal.
 She got out one of her toys from her travel bag, laid it on the bed and began to ride, pushing herself back and forth along it, supported by her large belly like a rubber gym ball. She got faster, pushing her stomach into the bed, causing the inside to make some wet noises, concentrating on how friendly the mare had been, how she had been learning at university, and how she enjoyed collecting gems. She focused on how she herself was taking all of this and using it for nutrition. Every part of the mare would be used by her somehow.
 "You're lucky *huff* I ate you Cara, *phew* you're being turned into something *Haah* better" Twilight paused to let out an airy belch.
"... you'll be my fat, part of me. My body, my shit. You came out so nicely earlier, I can't wait for you to properly squeeze out of me like the last of some big buffet *huff* I just wish you could see what I'm going to turn you into..."
 Twilight moaned as her body shivered violently. Her gut gurgled loudly and she felt a strong pressure build up in her rectum. Twilight gasped in pleasure as she let loose a massive fart into the air.
 
 “Soon that’ll be you…” Twi panted, nearing orgasm. “Soon you’ll be like every other meal I’ve ever eaten….just a turd in my toilet….and I’ll enjoy every moment of it….it’ll feel so amaz-ha-haa-ohhhh!” she moaned as she finally climaxed. She collapsed into her stomach eliciting a crunch, exhausted, and satisfied.
There was a strange noise. Her thoughts ground to a halt. That didn't seem like a sound of hearty digestion.
 "Cara? You're still alive?"
 Her torso made the groaning noise again, and then spoke weakly.
"I can't believe... You ate me... I just- I wanted trinkets or something... Not to die in some fat bitch's stomach because she gets off on it..."
 Despite everything, Twi's first feeling was major embarrassment. Caramel Smooch had heard everything. Her cheeks burned crimson with shame.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't realise you were still awake!" She began.
She was interrupted by a bitter, croaky laugh from inside.
 "Not like it matters anyway. I can't see in here, but I can't feel much any more, so that tells me all I need to know. I just wish I didn't have to hear you shit some of me out, I feel really dizzy and weak so I'll say this-"
 Twilight concentrated, and made a sound of understanding affirmation.
  "...I hope I give you constipation."
 And with those final words, Caramel Smooch was truly gone. She fell into oblivion as the stomach tightened around her mushy form. Twilight felt a bizarre sense of loss, as though she hadn't been the one to eat the pony. She decided to try to sleep the last of her meal off, and retired to bed, her stomach burbling happily.
 ------------------------
 Twilight's eyes blinked open as she awoke. She'd had a pleasant night's sleep, and now felt energetic and well rested. Yesterday's fun came back to her and she blushed, realising how much Pegasus still packed her bowels. Yesterday what had been a naïve college student was now pushing through her gut today, eager to get out.
Twi rolled off her front onto her side, releasing the pressure on her stomach. She pushed and let out a deep fart.
"Oh Caramel, even now you're so talkative! What's it like in my belly?"
She pushed again and her rear lightly *toot*'ed.
"I'll definitely note that down in my next letter to the Princess!"
She snorted and trotted over to the room's mirror, giggling at her own juvenile behaviour.
 Twilight looked herself over in the reflective glass, admiring her additions so graciously donated by Caramel, and grimacing at the less flattering weight gains in her face and neck.
“Glad to see you made yourself useful, Cara. How’s it hanging?” she laughed, jiggling her larger stomach, happily watching it sway.
 
 “Ooh!” Twi exclaimed excitedly, noticing her some changes to her derriere. She first inspected it from a side view, then turned around, craning her neck to look at the reflection of her now softly padded butt in the mirror. She blushed as she considered that Cara was sealed away just centimetres from the ring she was staring at. Turning ponies into shit may take some getting used to, even if she found it exciting.
 
 “I like the way you look on my ass, Caramel. You made a good choice going there, I saw you staring at my butt…” Twilight teased, watching her cheeks sway in the mirror.
 “Speaking of which, I think the rest of you wants to come out…” Twi smirked, feeling the bulge in her lower bowels shift a bit before smugly strutting to the bathroom.
 
------------------
 "Oh bother..."
 The phrase felt like an understatement. She'd completely forgotten how unavoidably blocked the toilet was, full of shit from the day before to the point of the bowl being almost entirely obscured. It wasn't happening, and she had to push out her Pegasus /fast/.
 Twilight clenched her now insistent resident back in, and thought fast; 'What else has a drain, is white, and can fill with water?' Her eyes lit up like she'd found a rare book on sale.
The bath!
Hurriedly, she aligned her butt with the side of the long bath, quietly grateful she'd paid extra for the creature comfort she was about to ruin.
 The unicorn relaxed, and her tight pucker was stretched wide immediately. She groaned as the first ball of muck pushed out of her and dropped with a wet *thwack*on the bottom of the tub.
It was followed by some more brown apples, and then the real show started. Thick chocolate-like manure crowned, causing Twi to bite her lip, and as she strained, it flowed from the mare's asshole as fast as she could push it out. More and more of the lovingly digested Pegasus piled up in the tub, sometimes breaking in the middle as she left Twilight, other times staying in a fat rope until she reached the bottom.
 Cara's scent filled the room, that, combined with the incomparable sensation of the processed meat passing through her pucker and the dirty thoughts about what she was doing pushed Twilight to the limits of arousal.
 
'How many other mares have the privilege of turning another pony into their poo?' Twilight thought to herself proudly.
 “Ooohh good girl…” she moaned to the shit quietly in relief as she felt the pressure slowly leave her body.
 The flow slowed to a leisurely pace, crackling out of her more calmly, giving time to reflect on her situation.
She'd felt guilty for short moments yesterday over what she had been doing to Cara, but this made it all worth it. Twilight had hunted her prey, devoured, taunted and digested them, converting them into energy, fat and the steaming pile building behind her, proving that Caramel's true destiny had been to feed Twilight's grateful digestive tract.
 The last log dropped with an almost comical *plop* and the only noise left in the now hot room was Twilight's breathy panting.
 She shook her hair off her now slightly sweaty face as she pulled herself upright and tried to regain her composure. There was still one thing left to do.
 “Heads up Cara!” Twi giggled, ignoring the moisture from her brow as she began to drizzle pee down into the tub on top of the digested remains. It took almost a minute to empty her bladder of Caramel's used up fluids, and when Twilight was finished she stopped tensing and stood up, used her magic to grab a bit of toilet paper to clean the worst off her butt. Turning around to dispose of the tissue, she stared down at her work.
 
Inside the bath tub was a brown, steamy pile of balls, logs and soft serve cream surrounded by a large puddle of yellow water. Tainted feathers stuck out in odd places, and an occasional fleck of white betrayed the original form of the pegasus. Even some lighter fur remained in the higher bits. The smelly pile of Caramel Smooch lay a foot tall, and much wider.
 The mess wasn’t nearly as large as Twi had expected the digested remains of even a small pony to be, but her expectations had been coloured by Celestia's last meal of two of her friends. It was still a significant load of manure.
Seeing that the digested remains were dotted with visible solid white bits and pieces, which Twi assumed must have been the last remains of Cara's bones, her eyes went wide and her lips spread out into a beaming grin of accomplishment. She felt an unexplainable pride towards her creation.
'This mare, her life, and her hopes and dreams…it’s all just my poop now'
Twi thought to herself, quivering with excitement.
 “Man, you don’t look so good Cara. You’re never going to get attention if you go out looking like that…” she tried to put faux-disgusted face but was unable hid her excited grin.
“Don’t worry though, I've still got to compare you to Pinkie and Fluttershy!”
 Twilight dipped her head and took a bite of the still warm peak of the mountain she created. Swishing it about in her mouth she cast her mind back to Celestia's own produce. Caramel was sweeter, with less of a depth to her taste, softer too, with little resistance to her tongue or teeth besides a feather mixed in with the unconventional snack. She "Mhmm"d in approval and swallowed it down noisily, before returning her attention to the pile.
 "I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did, even if you were playing hard-to-get yesterday! I can't get rid of you, but I can leave you before anyone else finds out our little secret. You were a lovely meal, and everything I hoped for. Have a nice life Caramel.”
 
Twilight trotted out of the bathroom, snickering at the nightmare of a job she'd just produced for the local plumber, and quickly began to prep her journey home, she'd be long gone before anyone discovered her work. It was time to go back to the library, and time to figure out where to go from there.
 Author's note: hope you enjoyed, to those that aren't a fan of the heavy scat that's prevalent in my works, have no fear! I plan to write more with less of that alongside these types of story as I flesh out this mini universe, to give everyone something they might like.
