It was another Day, another dollar, Work had been crap, hell life had been that for the white Stallion as he stumbled back into his apartment after another long day Exhausted wasn't the word for it he was broken, mind body and spirit. Not that he hadn't contributed to his own misery. Lack of drive and a sheltered life will do that to the unprepared. The only job he was qualified for involved pushing a mop and cart around a wide verity of places. Making just enough to keep the lights on and his bills covered though As he pushed another ramen cup into the dirty microwave that constituted the only cooking device he had TreBor thought to himself. "Nothing pleasurable just enough to cover another day."

Sinking into the dirty old sofa in the living room with his dinner TreBor debated trying the neighbors wifi password again. It's not like the old bitty used it at this hour of the night any way. Pulling up the available lines on his phone he selected and tried. " Dam you'd think she'd have forgotten to put one on when she installed it, probably some helpful grand kid did it." stretching out He took to squinting at the water stains in the ceiling. His cracked glasses fracturing some into twisted images his mind could play with.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK* TreBor bolted up from the couch blinking checking his watch he noted he had nodded off for a couple of hours. *KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK* his head swiveled to the door, who would be calling on him at 1 am? Getting up he groaned and stretched. " I'm coming im coming." He yelled scratching his ass as he headed through the kitchen and to the door working the chain and bolts off so he could open the door. Peering through the peep hole showed him nothing and his temper flared. " Probably some kid running pranks." Mumbling he slid the door open.

Sitting in the hall just in front of his hooves sat a wicker basket a odd verity of junk food sodas and candy filling it to the brim. TreBor looked left, TreBor looked right. Nothing the hall was devoid of life, as it should be past midnight. Nudging the basket with his hoof he glanced about again and then picked it up. Closing the door behind him as he reentered the apartment setting the goodies on his counter as he went through them. " No tampering, I don't remember us getting a new tenant, I havn't done anything for anyone," Searching through the paper filling the space between treats the Stallion felt himself coming up empty. " And no card, I wounder if some mistake has been made." Shrugging his shoulders and gather up the sweats he returned to the couch. " The rain falls on the just and the unjust, I suppose." Speaking of rain the stallion could hear the metallic ping as heavy fat drops landed on the fire escape out side his window. Less heard was the groan of metal as the figure watching through his window shifted in the rain water rolling off the rain coat it wore.

Candy Wrapper's lay strewn on the floor were he Dropped them TreBor letting loose a belch as he finished another one of the liquors groggily. " To the provider of the feast." He slurred raising the empty glass before hurling it to the wall were it simply bounced down onto the floor unbroken." huh less mess to clean," he blurped trying to rise but finding the floor moving. Sliding back down into the couch cushion he sniffled. " Dam drink brings the tears out dosn't it, I feel so hopeless and small." Curling himself up on the couch a tingle ran through the Stallion and he sniffled." God why do I feel so loose tonight, its like I've lost the switch to my emotional control." tears began to run down his cheeks. Body seeming to morph and shrink in the half light of the apartments bulbs the light from the kitchen dimly showing huddled figure of a acne riddled teen laying were an adult stallion once had lanky awkward arms clutched to a untoned chest.

Slowly the fire-escape window opened dripping water as the hooded figure slipped into the room. The shrinking stallion kicking in his sleep some troubled dream, even as his lanky legs pulled up growing shorter and fatter his arms twitching as they shrunk. The little teen tone slowly expanding rounding out out and gaining a ruddy glow like his cheeks as his cloths hung loosely about the now preteens frame. Paws crossing the floor the figure slowly slipped off her coat shedding water as she watched the Stallion regress, his childhood quickly overtaking his little frame and his cloths a over sized blanket as the toddle pudge fluffed out over his body turning it into the soft round squirming frame of a three year old. The figures short rounded ears twitched in the half light cast from the kitchen a little smile spreading over the feminine bovine face as the now baby colt instinctively brought a thumb to his muzzle suckling and squirming as a dark spot appeared on the adult T-shirt draped like a blanket over the colts little frame.

Bending down to scoop up the sleeping baby in her arms the light of the kitchen showed the broad thick frame of a blue furred cow. Removing the wet T she brought out a yellow blanket wrapping the little one in it before slipping him under her rain coat. Looking about she shook her head at the grimy nature of the place. She had seen it all from the outside but now being withe in, it was so much worse then she had thought. This was no way to live and it galvanized her on the decision she had made for the former occupant as she cradled him to her chest and made her way back out into the dark rain taking the stairs to the top floor and the bright cheery lights of her own apartment.

Entering through her own window the Marbell set the coat aside and stripped dumping the rain soaked cloths into a pile on the floor as she carried the squirming bundle into her room. Sitting next to her bed the crib sat waiting for her newly acquired child Her child to raise properly." Lets let mommy get a good look at you and let you get a good look at your new home sweetie." Slowly she carefully unfolded the blanket on her bed the baby colt laying in the middle blinking at the bright light of the overhead light.

TreBor had woken in the dark feeling off, It wasn't a hang over per-say though he did feel sore all over like his body had been compressed. His eyes blinked but didn't see anything and when he tried to move he found himself trapped in a blanket and his limbs unresponsive. " wa du well" he murmured finding his speech so slurred he could swear it sounded like gurgled cries." the room seemed to swing and sway he hadn't thought he had drank so much that the room would be moving but he had been wrong before. a little wetness in his crotch told him he'd be doing laundry today. Slowly the colt felt like he was falling suddenly light coming in yellow and muted he Squirmed trying to get his limbs moving in some concerted way accidentally brushing up against his own fur. It was oddly soft like a babys. Suddenly bright light flooded his vision and he blinked kicking and waving his arms to ward of the the assult on his eyes as they slowly adjusted and twitched, This wasn't his room he took in a gasping breath as he saw the giant face of a women smiling down at him.

TreBor screamed at least that's what he ment to do what came out of his little muzzle was more of the wailing cry's of fear a baby has at a wet diaper or a loud noise.Tears rose unbidden on his face and the giant cow frowned gently reaching down and gathering up the wailing colt in her arms. TreBor felt himself lifted head slopping and giving himself a look at his leftside little baby arm and leg squirming as he scrunched his rosey muzzle and cried some more."This is impossible" his mind racing he watched her lifting him to her chest, his thoughts jogged a little before he realized the goal opening his mouth to protest only to have it cut short as he found his little muzzle filled by one of Marbells nipples.

"Shhhh shhh there we go little one you feed and I'll explain whats going on." TreBor would have protested at the indignity and insanity of being once again a baby colt and breast feed by an absolute stranger, but his muzzle worked with out his permission. Creamy milk suddenly flooded his mouth running over his tongue and cascading down his throat. The young colt suddenly consumed with a black hole of hunger sucking with great gusto mind set to the single task of filling his tummy. Soon he was rhythmically sucking warm milk soothing causing him to relax in Marbell's arms the cow herself sighing after days of having to hand milk herself in preparation for the entrance of the baby into her life the gentle relief of the baby's feeding was therapeutic.

"I work with a company, well worked" The baby squirmed in her arms and she giggled shifting him up blinking in a daze over her shoulder to pat. " greedy little sucker arn't you you'l get tummy aches that way." The little colt belched before he was able to start crying again she brought him back to her other breast. " okay now , this company connects people with other people, kinda like a dating app, except you never signed up. Still like any one on a dating app you were looking for some one to fill a need, may be you didn't know it but your life style and endless complaining was just a cry for help." Reaching down she gently ran her fingers through the light wispy hair coating the baby's head.

" I decided you were the one for me, so sad, so in need of a complete do over and having no one to blame but yourself for it all," She leaned down kissing the nursing colts forehead. " It only seemed right, but the company said you were off limits you had rejected every attempted to get you signed up for one of our decoy programs and so legally you were untouchable, for the company at least." The little colt squirmed eyes blank at the information seeming more concerned with Coming up dry on mommys milk then what she was telling him. She switched him to the other the colt almost sloshing when she moved his pudgy frame baby belly full of milk. " So I borrowed some stuff from the lab and arranged to quite my job all on the same day. Then I disappeared into this high-rise jungle and arranged your little treat, once you took your medicine all I had to do was wait for it to kick in and retrieve you from that filthy hole in the wall." The little colts head lolled to the side milk and drool running down from his soft muzzle onto her large front Snoring loudly.

A little warmth blossomed running down Marbells front as she shifted letting the undiapered colts accident dribble onto the blanket. " Not that any of this means anything to you any more little one." Gently she used a dry corner of the blanket to clean up the little ones accident before carrying him to the changing table. " You might have one or two resurfaces of that adult mind that's being erased but very shortly your little head is going to be empty as a cracked egg. All those adult thoughts and worries will just disappear. I knew if i told you and got you distracted you'd let the medicine work with little fuss no tears no wailing kicking crying stallion locked in a colts body, just the gentle first time bonding of a mother and her child. Its exactly as I imagined it." Diapering the now sleeping baby she carried him to the crib laying him inside careful not to wake her new little one. As she gently whispered. " Happy Birthday, Hayseed."

Next morning TreBor opened his eyes the little colt blinking "Something", like the flutter of a butterfly wings his mind danced from thought to feeling, "Wet" Squirming he felt his emotions rush till suddenly two dark things flashed before his muzzle and he forgot kicking causing crinkles from his bottom as again the shapes appeared and then disappeared. Confused the little one held still.No shapes, kicked, Shapes. Distracted by the new game the little one forgot his previous concerns giggling at the disappearing and reappearing hooves. His new mother standing in the door way smiled. it was a good start to a new life.
