Twilight Sparkle and her friend were in a town to take care of a friendship problem, while they were searching, some noises came from an old building. The building was abandoned, but the voice came from inside. The gang agreed to help this pony before continuing searching the friendship problem. The inside was like an old factory, with machines everywhere, taking the dust of the years. The voice came from the catwalk above but a staircase nearby allowed the group to come closer without reaching it. They climb on the platform at the top of the staircase to see who was calling for help. "Cozy Glow?! What are you doing here?" Asked Twilight, realizing who was the pony who call for them. "Oh, hum... I wanted to show you all something..." She said with an innocent look before pushing a button. The ground below suddenly move, making the group follow until they reach the bar almost at the edge of the platform, making them all fall into the yellow goo in the recipient below. "What in tarnation are ya doing Cozy?! What is that thing?!" Yelled Applejack, having lost her signature hat. She tried to struggle but the goo was keeping her firmly in place. "I can't teleport us out! My horn received some splash and it just disrupt my magic!" Explained Twilight. "My mane is ruined! Thanks a lot Cozy Glow!" Exclaimed Rarity, angrily staring the young filly. "Not the moment right now Rarity..." Said Rainbow, trying to flap her wings to get out, but the goo was too thick. "Ooooh! That was fun, let me do it again!" Said Pinkie before using her tail like a rotor to fly back on the platform. "Get down in there, now!" Yelled Cozy. "Okay, I just wanted to do a nice dive in it this time." Explained Pinkie before taking place and yell "Canon ball!" before jumping in the goo head first, splashing even more the others. "What are you planning to do Cozy?" Asked Twilight, managing to look Cozy on the catwalk. "You gonna love what you're about to become..." Only answered Cozy. The conveyor belt then turned on, making them move to a first machine. Twilight was the first to enter in it before the machine closed itself, leaving her friends worried and unable to help. Inside the machine, Twilight was still struggling against the goo having paralyzed her body, she could at least hear a robotic voice turn on. "Specimen detected, starting program. Analysis complete, species: alicorn, gender: female, starting phase 1. Placing visor." "Something was placed around her eyes and the goo around them was wash away, allowing her to properly see again. The voice then came back. "Visor in place, starting with snuggle drone's colorization." A lavender goo was then sprayed on her, the exact same lavender than her fur, a fan then start, making the goo dry, Twilight could see the goo becoming latex, replacing her fur, mane and tail, the visor was also trapped in the latex itself, making it impossible to remove. Once the latex in place, the machine open itself to push Twilight on the next conveyor belt while Rarity was the next pony to enter. "Phase 1 complete, moving to next snuggle drone." Once the white unicorn inside, she could hear the same voice as Twilight before. "Specimen detected, starting program. Analysis complete, species: Unicorn, gender: female, starting phase 1. Placing visor." Cozy just watched from the catwalk until everyone in the group was done with a new latex skin. "You look so cute already, don't worry if you can't talk anymore, it's a part of the process." The conveyor belt didn't gave time for the group to get up and flee, it was already moving to the next machine, sending them all inside before closing behind them. "Snuggle drones in place, beginning phase 2." Said the voice before some mechanical arms got out and began to spray liquid latex on Twilight's mane. She tried to struggle but more arms just came to keep her in place and steady, the same happened to her friends who could only watch what was about to happen. The latex in her mane and tail then took the colors of her originals, leaving her with a perfect replica but made of latex. The paint was then spread on Rarity's mane and tail, doing the same thing. All mares get the same predicament but something unexpected happened when it was Rainbow Dash's turn. "Error, the snuggle drone present a panel of colors going above the system capacities. Risk of overload. Error, error, err..." Explained the machine before shutting down itself due to overload, but having done Rainbow mane and tail just in time. "You almost broke the material Rainbow Dash, such a bad snuggle drone you are. We need to properly educate you..." Commented Cozy once all six get out of the device to be brought in the next section. "Beginning of phase 3." Said the device. "Now what?" Thought Twilight, watching the others who were also worried. Black rings then emerged and tight up on some parts of her latex body and fused with it, totally becoming one. The same thing happened to Rarity, then Applejack and it goes on until all were done. The fourth step brought them to a machine deploying two pumps for each, going straight for their muzzle and began to release something directly inside the latex outfit. "Starting phase 4: injecting gas." The more the mares breath that gas, the more they started to feel relaxed and happy without any explanation. Once the gas fully injected, the pumps detached themselves, leaving two valves where they were, the valves letting a pink smoke get out at each new breathing out from the group. "You all look so adorable! But you're still missing some tiny details." Said Cozy from the catwalk. The six mares had trouble understanding what she was saying due to the latex covering their ears and the gas making them euphoric. They could only feel the conveyor belt dragging them somewhere one last time "Starting with final phase: details of the snuggle drones." Said the machine before mechanical arms start to apply pink hearts beginning to fuse with their outfit almost immediately, on the hearts were things write like "boop me" or "hug me" "All stages completed, snuggle drones ready." Said the device before letting go all six mares now trapped inside that latex skin and forced to breath the gas inside. All watch each other with fear and horror. Twilight tried to use her magic, but just like last time, it was disrupted while Rainbow couldn't use her wing, the latex skin keeping them close firmly on the side of her body. "Awww... I already want to hug and play with you, but something is missing." Said Cozy. The group didn't even had time to react when the visor until now transparent, began to turn on, turning into a color close to the one of the eyes of the pony wearing it, hiding for good any remnant of their face. A spiral then start to spin while words appeared from outside, making anyone reading them saw the words "Book" on Twilight's visor, "Darling" for Rarity, "Awesome" for Rainbow Dash, "Apple" for Applejack, "Shy" for Fluttershy and lastly "FunFun" for Pinkie Pie. "I think what your visor are displaying reflects you perfectly..." Commented Cozy. But the mares were too focus on trying to resist against the subliminal messages and the spiral. Even with the best of their will, they didn't managed to simply close their eyes, letting more messages and hypnosis reaching their brain. They began to panic and run around, but it didn't take long for their final mental lock to shatter, making them think like they were nothing else but snuggle drones, simple objects with the purpose of making an owner happy. That thought make them happy as well, the gas also doing its part on that. When they finally stop moving, they only moaned happily, waiting for someone to boop or just hug them. Cozy only smirked. "I told you you will like what you will become, now we only need to find somewhere you can fulfill your new purpose of living dolls... ha ha ha ha ha!!!" She said before laughing evilly. She didn't noticed the catwalk beginning to collapse under her until it was too late. "Oh oh..." She simply said before it totally collapsed making her fall right in the goo she trapped Twilight and the others earlier. "Shoot, that wasn't part of the plan!" She yelled of anger, unable to fly and escape from the goo. She then heard the machine turn on. "New specimen detected, beginning snuggle drone conversion."
