Chapter 54: Mind Swap (Episode 2)

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Welcome back every pony! Well, I am glad to give you guys the next part of this! And I can tell that a bunch of you are ready for it! Especially since I left the first part of this episode on an actually half decent cliff hanger! XD

But anyway yeah! I am really happy to bring this episode into the second part! Not only that, but I can't wait to see how you all react to where the stories going.

And to stop myself early before I reveal anything, let's go ahead and bring in the next guest on the show! Some pony I bet none of you were expecting. And if you think you can guess who it is, than go ahead and try!

... Did you try to guess yet? Probably not since you're just gonna immediately look down one or two lines to see who it is, lol.

And here she is now! The pony you probably never guessed out of them all! Here's... *Pause so I can rip off a joke from Rainbow Dash* Princess Celestia!

Princess Celestia: *walks into view* Why hello there Zeke. Nice to finally get to meet you in person. Although, I did expect the intro to be a little more... cleaner.

Yeah, I usually leave in stuff like this that the others that have come into the intro. I mean, some have really started to grow on me. Like Dino here, *Dino runs up next to me* the giant golden Stepony with the really stupid looking shirt on, and even the TARTIS itself! Honestly, it really is great... Though, it is kind of dull in here...

Princess Celestia: May I try something that might help?

Sure, go right on ahead. As a matter a fact, if you want to even clear up some of the stuff in here I wouldn't mind.

Princess Celestia: Alright. Thank you.

*she uses her magic and the roof completely disappears and is replaced by a normal sky, with a sun in the middle. Making the entire intro look way more alive. Also, some wind blows through the intro, making a few pieces of trash and stuff blow away for good*

Wow, that looks way better! Thanks Princess Celestia!

Princess Celestia: Why, anytime Zeke. Just remember our deal. That I actually play a main part in the next episode.

Of course! I was actually planning on that before the season even started! I was gonna include you, your sister, Shining Armor and Cadance even!

Princess Celestia: My, that is great news. But aren't you forgetting some pony else? Some pony who you promised to bring to the reading audience?

Uh... Wait, you mean even you want me to bring... HIM into the next episode? *she simply giggled at my question and nodded* Gulp... Well... Yay verily...

Anyway, all awkwardness aside let's get to the real stuff! The Top Three Comments!

3: Justus80. Yes, that customer, Swift is his name, will be a reoccurring background character. And now that you mention it... I think it might be something for Blitz to know about. That might just happen. Wouldn't you say Princess Celestia?

Princess Celestia: Well when he came, I never took away any part of his memory. But he made a promise that he couldn't go into detail about anything violent from his world. So... I'd have to say it may or may not happen.

Alright, glad I can have that option if it ever comes around. Onto the second comment!

2: TongueTwisted. Wow, you have no faith in them do you? LOL, I'm kidding! Of course, what happens might just be really entertaining! That, or confusing...

Princess Celestia: Actually, it's a combination of both. *she said with a smile*

Good point... Guess that's why you're the princess. Final comment!

1: The1TheOnlyBro. Uh dude? I think that's Princess Trollestia's line! *I break out laughing while the Princess simply smirks at the name*

Princess Celestia: I have to admit, that nickname is a little humorous.

Wow, really?! I thought you of all ponies would hate that meme!

Princess Celestia: Well it's not exactly out of context, since I do enjoy a good sense of humor. It's just that other meme... *she said, frowning a little in anger*

Wait, you mean Princess Mole- *At that moment, I was sent flying into the wall, cracking it upon impact at speeds that Rainbow Dash would gawk at. All thanks to Celestia's magic*

Princess Celestia: Never. Call. Me. That. Name. *She said darkly, looking angry as ever*

Ow...Got it... *falls to the ground, unconscious*

Princess Celestia: *Upon seeing what she just did, she immediately looked guilty for doing so* Oh no... Well, I better take him to the Royal Doctor to fix him up. Enjoy the chapter every pony.

Intro Area Decorations to Date: A very realistic sky with a sun in the middle, wires all around the floor, scorch markings on the floor that spell out 'Blitz Waz Herez', a baby T-Rex named Dino, the TARTIS, Trixie's hat laying next to the TARTIS, a giant golden statue of Stepony (Pony Stephano) who is wearing a Rarity shirt, a chalkboard with names of most the main characters that have tallies under each of them (Rarity having the most), and cracks on the ground and in the wall.

Disclaimer: I do not own MLP. All I own is this idea, Blitz, Dino, RJ, Jumpy, and anything else that I've personally created throughout the story. That not including the three background characters that belong to three of the readers that read this story!


Blitz's POV

Ugh... Man, my head's killing me. What did Twilight end up doing anyway?

As I started to stir, I saw multiple different colored blobs in front of me. I guessed that each of them were my friends in front of me. One all pink. Pinkie Pie. One yellowish with a light pink. Fluttershy. Another white and purple. Rarity. And the last one black and yellow... Wait a second, I thought I was the only one that was black and yellow.

Knowing that I was still a little out of it, along with my head still killing me, I reached for my head to massage it. But as soon as my left hoof got close to it, something stabbed my left hoof.

"OW!" I screamed out in pain, surprised that I somehow felt pain with my left hoof even though it was fake. Or that I accidentally stabbed my hoof with something that was on my head. Or that my voice sounded very feminine all of a sudden. Wait, What?!

I slowly started to get up, and through my still slightly blurred vision, I could see some of the others getting up too.

"Is every pony alright?" I heard Pinkie ask groggily. Which was kind of odd considering how she always seems so hyped up on sugar.

"Yeah... Yeah, I think so. Only, I stabbed my hoof with something on. My... Head..." Okay, no doubt about it. My voice was now feminine for sure. After saying all that, there was no doubting it.

"Well obviously, silly! You do have a horn after all!" I heard Blitz tell me with a way more up-beat tone than usual. WAIT, WHAT?!

"B...B-b... Blitz?..." I asked me! Or him! Or-whoever that is! At this point, it was surprise after surprise for me. I mean, Fluttershy might as well have started screaming as loud as-

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I had to cover my ears from that defining shriek of terror coming from-Fluttershy...

"Why am I suddenly not surprised!" I say with sarcasm dripping from my mouth.

"Fluttershy, what's wrong?!" I hear Pinkie ask with seriousness. I had to do a double-check just to make sure it was Pinkie saying that and not some pony else. What was going on?

"This is. The! Worst! Possible! Thing! My mane has all of a sudden turned the same color as Fluttershy's! This color doesn't match my coat at all! It's even worse than the time my mane got caught on a tree branch right after I got out from the spa!" Fluttershy said with great drama. Again I ask, WHAT THE HAY WAS GOING ON?!

"Okay, why are all of you acting so different?!" I asked, now completely at a loss for anything else! I mean, Fluttershy was being over-dramatic! Pinkie Pie was acting without even a bit of entertainment or joy! Rarity was cowering her head under a book! And I was looking at me! Without having the use of a mirror!

"What do you mean Twilight?" Blitz, or he, or it, or-I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE! The pony that looked like me asked the question! OKAY?!

"Did... Did you just... Call me Twi-Twilight?..." I asked, not sure what to think anymore.

"Blitz! I'm Twi..." Just as Pinkie was about to correct the other Blitz, she finally saw me and her jaw dropped to the floor.

She quickly closed her mouth, then she went back to studying me. Looking very confused and concerned.

"But how are- I mean I'm- HUH?!" Pinkie asked, now looking at her hoof. Which apparently to her surprise was pink. But that was normal for Pinkie wasn't it?!

I decided to do the same, going back to inspect my left hoof that I accidentally stabbed with the horn I told me I had. And without thinking much about that last part, I saw that it was a light purplish color instead of black. Not only that, but it was a little red from it being hit by my horn.

"Okay... First thing I'm going to ask..." I said calmly, clearing my throat so the others could look up to me. "Who are you?!" I asked with both an angry and confused voice as I pointed to the Blitz in front of me. That's when I realized that my new feminine voice was that of Twilight's voice.

"Oh wait, I know this one! I'm Pinkie Pie!" The Blitz in front of me said with a big smile.

At this moment, I think I pieced together what happened to us all.

"Okay, and which one of you, besides me," I said, looking towards Pinkie Pie who was in my body... Okay, that just sounds weird to say. "is the real Twilight?" I asked, looking back at them all.

"That would be me." Pinkie Pie, or Pinkie Pie's body said as it raised its hand.

Okay, so I guess I could piece this together. I was in Twilight's body... Okay I'm gonna rephrase that, because it sounds all kinds of wrong! I was Twilight. Pinkie was me. Twilight was Pinkie. And I'm guessing that Rarity and Fluttershy just switched places. With that all in mind, I glared at 'Pinkie' with as much anger as I could.

"What. Did. You. Do?" I asked through my gritted teeth. As I did, I could've sworn I saw something glowing directly above me. But I just ignored it for now and kept glaring at Twilight.

"Um... I might've... made a teeny-tiny mistake and...Switched our minds...Hehehe..." Twilight said slowly, trying not to make me mad.

"Y-you swi-swi-switched our..." At that exact moment, I just cracked. "WHAT?!" And the second I lashed out like that, was the second that light above me went full blast on brightness and exploded, sending us and the tree house library air born.

The second we all landed, I jumped right back up, glaring at Twilight who was quickly scrambling to get up. "I can fix this! I can fix this!" She said, trying desperately to calm me down. Not much that would do though as I was steaming with anger. So much that I was starting to get really dehydrated.

Man, I could use some water!

"Woah, Blitz! I didn't know you knew how to use magic!" Pinkie said, pointing above me.

"Huh?" I asked, looking up to where she was pointing, only to see a glass of water levitating above me. But as soon as I looked at it, I was a little shocked. Which made it stop levitating and fall on my head, drenching me with water.

On instinct, I cringed. Ready to be shocked since the water had touched me. Only... I wasn't getting hurt by it. Yeah, it sucked that I was drenched with water. And because of that, I wished I could dry off and all, but-

And just by thinking about getting dry, my horn burst into flames, not only drying me completely, but scaring what sanity I had left. "AH! PUT IT OUT! PUT IT OUT! PUT IT OUT!" I said, trying to wave my head around to make the fire go away, or get of my head or something!

"Blitz darling, you need to calm down! Just take a deep breath and relax..." Flutter- I mean, Rarity told me. And it sounded weird because without having a hint of shyness or caution in her voice it just sounded... Off. It even sounded like her voice was usually snarky for some reason.

I took in her advice though and stopped running around like a mad man, taking a very deep breath. And about three breaths later the fire stopped and my horn stopped glowing. I sighed in relief as I slid to the ground. Glad it was over.

"Blitz, you need to stay in control of both your emotions and thoughts. If you're not in control of either, then the magic's going to go crazy and do whatever you think. Though, not exactly how you want to." Twilight told me.

"Okay... Got it... Calm and relaxed... I can do that..." I said, talking slowly.

"Good. You see, this is why baby unicorns have magical surges. Because they're not in control of their emotions and thoughts at such a young age. But since you're not in control of them either, yet you have all of my trained magic, whatever you think might just happen." Twilight explained further.

"Alright. Got it." I said, trying not to think about it so much.

"That means the same for you Flutter..." As Twilight turned towards where we saw Fluttershy last, we instead saw a giant pile of books. Twilight simply sighed. "Fluttershy, you need to stay in control of your powers too." Twilight instructed Fluttershy.

"O-okay..." We heard Rarity's faint voice call out shyly from underneath the books. A few seconds later, Fluttershy came out from inside the giant pile of books, hiding on part of her face with Rarity's mane like she always did when she was herself.

"Okay, so I guess we need to fix this quick before something else happens. By the way, what made you lose focus anyway?" I asked, turning back to Twilight.

"Well Hehehe..." When she saw that I wasn't smiling at her nervous laughter, she gulped. Careful of what to say since I was now in her place and had her magic, which could've blown us all up so high, Cloudsdale would have to look up to see us. "I thought I saw Princess Celestia's chariot, but it was just the strain of the magic getting to me, and it turns out it was just a canary."

I really wanted to blow up at her again, and I almost did. But remembering that my horn caught fire when I wasn't even angry, I didn't want to literally blow up by accident. So I simply took a deep breath.

"Okay, honest mistake... Anyway, how do we fix this?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

"Oh, well it's simple enough. We just need to find out what went-" But before Twilight could tell me the rest, Spike suddenly came through the door.

"Hey Twilight... Sorry it took so long... I couldn't find Applejack or Rainbow Dash anywhere..." Spike said, sounding out of breath. Guess he was in a hurry.

"Oh, well that's okay Spike! We have bigger problems right now anyway." Twilight said, responding to Spike. Sadly, since she was now Pinkie, that just made him get a little confused.

"Okay Pinkie Pie... Like what?..." He asked, not sure why 'Pinkie' spoke up.

"That's just it Spike! I'm not Pinkie Pie! I'm really Twilight!" Twilight tried to tell him.

Sadly, that only make Spike even more confused. Until a few seconds later where he burst into laughter. "Good one Pinkie Pie! Hahaha, you almost got me there!" He said in between laughs.

"No! I'm serious Spike! I am Twilight!" Twilight kept trying. But every time she tried to explain it, it all just seemed like a joke to Spike.

"Sorry Pinkie, but you can't fool me! I mean come on! You, Twilight?! That's like a total one-eighty! What next, are you gonna tell me that Blitz is Pinkie Pie?!" He asked sarcastically as he kept laughing. And somehow, I now felt insulted for not one, but two reasons. I could be funny like Pinkie Pie!

"Actually, I am Pinkie Pie! I'm just being Blitz right now! And Twilight's being me, and Blitz's is Twilight, and Rarity's Fluttershy, while Fluttershy's Rarity!" Pinkie said with a very happy attitude. Which sounded really off when it was coming from my voice. Wow, does it really sound that weird when I'm talking with an up-beat attitude like that? Okay, maybe I can't be funny like Pinkie Pie...

Spike rose an eyebrow at Pinkie, surprised that 'Blitz' was able to do a Pinkie impression like that. Then he broke out in even harder laughter, falling to the ground.

"Really Blitz?! Not you too! I mean, that doesn't even sound like Pinkie's voice at all!" He said, barely able to stand our 'prank'.

"Well duh! I'm Blitz right now! How would my voice sound like my usual Pinkie-ness anyway?!" Pinkie asked, the huge smile not looking very welcoming either. Jeez, note to self: Never try to be overly happy or smile like The Joker. It just looks like I'm Jeff the Killer. Except with different colors.

"Okay Blitz, you're really starting to freak me out." Apparently Spike thought the same as he backed away from 'Blitz' with some concern.

At this point, I knew he wasn't going to believe us. I mean, how could we prove it to him anyway? At least, in a way where it wouldn't be risky or anything.

I decided to try and play the part as Twilight, taking charge of it all. I smirked a little and spoke up. "Alright every pony, we might as well give up the act. I guess there's no fooling Spike this time." I said, playing to his ego at the same time.

"You got that right Twilight! No tricking the number one assistant!" He said, his ego getting a little too inflated.

"Don't push it big guy." I said calmly, raising an eyebrow at him to try and make it look a little more convincing. I could see out of the corner of my eye that 'Pinkie Pie' was frowning at me, wondering just what I was up to.

"Oh right... Sorry Twilight, I guess I got carried away." Spike said, rubbing the back of his neck in slight embarrassment.

"It's fine." I said, brushing that aside. I had to get him out of here though so I could tell the others my plan. So I came up with something else. "Hey Spike, do you think you could get all of us something to drink? We're all a little thirsty." I told him.

"Sure thing! It'll only take a few minutes!" He said, running off to the kitchen to get us all some punch or something. As soon as he was gone, I sighed in relief. Glad that it worked.

"That was some very nice acting Blitz. However did you manage to pull such a believable performance?" Rarity asked as she came over. But again with Fluttershy's not cautious accent, it came off sarcastic. Which again, was really weird.

"Well I guess it's easy enough when you weasel out of almost every conversation you get stuck into. That, and me taking an annoying year of theatre class..." The last part I mumbled, though I think Rarity heard me still. Guess since Twilight's voice was higher pitched than mine, I wasn't going to be that good at whispering anything.

"But why did you tell Spike that this was all a prank? He could've helped us." Twilight said, coming over as well to keep from talking across the room where Spike could hear.

"Well in all honesty, how would he be able to help? It's not like he knows anymore about this spell than you do. Plus, he might accidentally tell this whole problem to all of Ponyville. Guess who it'd eventually reach then?" I asked Twilight, her over cautiousness making her piece that fact together on her own.

"Okay, I guess you have a point. And speaking of, I know just how to fix this. The book that had the spell had just the instructions for how to fix this exact kind of error." Twilight told me.

"Okay, great! That means we just have to find the book that has the spell! Which is in..." I looked around, but after seeing the hundreds of books all over the place, my ears drooped down at the sight. "One of these hundreds of books..."

"Good thing I know just what book it's in! It's that one right-" As she pointed towards the right bookcase that had the book, Spike suddenly came back with a tray of drinks. All looking like grape punch.

"Here you go every pony!" He said, getting our attention. He then held up the tray of drinks towards me, even though he was five feet away from me. "Uh Twilight? Aren't you gonna take em?" He asked, confused by why I hadn't already.

"Huh?" I asked, not sure what he meant. Why would he stop five feet away and expect me to take them? I mean yeah, it was nice to meet halfway, but I thought that if Rarity was here then he would just bring the drinks to us himself.

"Yeah Twilight!" I heard 'Pinkie' say to me. "I know you're all completely uh... tired and stuff, but you still got some a that strong magicy-magic in ya right?!" She asked, acting like Pinkie Pie the best she could. Although it was kind of clear for any of us that knew the truth, that she was having a little trouble.

"Oh hehehe, right. Sorry Spike, it's just the spell I've been trying to learn has left me a little exhausted. Guess it took a lot more energy out of me than I realized." I said, gulping after I said that. Because now that meant I had to try to levitate the tray.

I took a deep breath before focusing on the tray itself. I tried to imagine lifting it with my magic and slowly bringing it over in between the five of us, careful to not spill or drop the drinks on it. And as I thought that, it started doing just that. I kept my eyes on the tray as it lifted off of Spike's claws and over to the ground near us. And when I thought it was close enough to the ground, I stopped focusing on the tray, letting it drop the last two inches or so. It clanged against the floor, but at least none of the drinks spilled over.

I mentally sighed in relief as I looked at the tray I finished moving. Which took about ten seconds. But hey, it was where it needed to be and it didn't spill. Mission accomplished I guess.

"Oh... Why, thank you. Spike." Fluttershy said, trying to act as much like Rarity as she could. But it was hard for her since Rarity was refined and a little outspoken, while she was quiet and shy.

"Yeah. Thanks Spike." Pinkie said, doing a decent job at sounding like me. Appreciative, but overly emotional. Well, maybe I could trust her to be me. Besides with my metal heart keeping my heart rate normal even through emotions, it should help keep Pinkie from acting all hyped up on sugar. But I still wasn't sure since now she was a living weapon that could end up in the hospital if she wanted to swim in the lake.

"Hey, it's what I do. Besides, since you all have to get going soon you might as well have something to drink before leaving." Spike said, taking a sip of his own glass of punch.

"Leaving?!" We all said in unison, just now remembering what we each had to do. Though, we didn't know what we had to do ourselves.

"Yeah. All of you had something to do today. Remember?" Spike asked, looking towards all of us.

"Oh, that's right!" 'Blitz' suddenly said, remembering. "Uh Pinkie, you said that you needed to babysit the baby cakes!" 'Blitz' said, reminding Pinkie.

"Oh yeah, you're right! How in all things baby did I forget that?!" She then giggled a little, trying so hard to be like Pinkie. "Thanks, Blitz!" 'Pinkie' said with a wink, now understanding what she had to do.

"Oh and Fluttershy... Don't forget about the animals of course." Fluttershy tried to tell Rarity, trying to act as much like Rarity as possible. Which sounded both quiet and over the top.

"Oh you're um... Right... And don't forget that... Customer thing at the boutique..." Rarity said, taking 'shy silences' between every few words. And it actually sounded pretty believable. Except she still sounded a little naturally snarky here and there.

"Oh, thanks ever so much for um, reminding me..." Fluttershy said, afraid that she would go too far and insult Rarity by talking like that.

"Well you all better get going then." I said with a little bit of sadness in my voice, a little sad that I would have to look through all these books by myself. It would take forever, but at least I knew what wall to look towards.

"Yeah! Good luck with the spell Twilight! Hope you do a good job at learning it!" Twilight said with a double meaning. She then had a look of genius and chugged the glass of punch before bouncing out the door. Okay, so maybe she could pull this off. Just barely anyway.

"I better get going too. Those poor little creatures will starve without me." Rarity said, going a bit to far with being dramatic about being Fluttershy. She then got up and started to leave. "Bye every pony." She said, now officially leaving.

"Well I'm afraid that I must... Depart as well. Ta ta Twilight, Blitz, and Spike..." Fluttershy said, leaving herself. That just left three more of us.

"Well, I'm gonna go take a nap. Since some pony woke me up early to monologue and play chess..." Spike said, glaring a little at me as he went upstairs, carrying a giant pile of gems in his arms.

"So what do I gotta do?" Pinkie asked, ready to do just about anything.

I turned to her, not sure what she could do. I couldn't really just let her wander around Ponyville, she might break something while being me. And she probably couldn't go help Twilight babysit the cakes either, because from what she's said about those two, they get into every mess possible. Meaning that Pinkie going near those babies was just as safe as letting them play on a construction site. Especially with that razor-sharp tail.

"Uh... Maybe you can just help me look around for that book." I said, thinking that keeping her here might be the best idea.

"Gotcha! Oh, and maybe I can use your grapple hoof to help!" She said, twisting the metal hoof clockwise, unlocking it. The worse part about that is that the hoof was right in my face.

"AH!" I screamed out, ducking down right before she let go of the hoof. And since I haven't put in a new rope yet, it wasn't attached to anything. Making it ricochet off of everything before slamming right into the wall Twilight pointed out, making every book fall out and into one big pile.

"Oopsy-Loopsy! Sorry Twilight!" Pinkie apologized, giving a nervous grin. Wow. Never before have I hated myself so much.

I felt my left eye twitch a little at the problem Pinkie just made. Now the books were all unorganized and in a pile on the ground. Though I didn't really care about that exactly, it still meant that we had our work cut out for us.

"Okay... This might be a problem." I said as I looked down, knowing that this was going to take a lot longer than I expected.


Fluttershy's POV

As soon as I got to Rarity's Boutique, I hesitated to go in. I mean, even though I technically was Rarity for the time being, was it right to just walk right in? Would it be wrong to just assume that Rarity would let me go right on in?

That's when I quickly remembered just why I had to come here in the first place. The animals would only accept being fed by me. And since Rarity was me for now, that meant that I had to do Rarity's job for now. Meaning that Rarity was counting on me to do this for her.

Luckily I knew how to do a little sewing here and there, so I could at least do an okay job at the order. Unless, that's thinking a little too brashly. I didn't mean to come off as boastful or anything...

Quickly shaking those thoughts away, I knew the task at hand. And I couldn't let Rarity down because I was too afraid on going into the store.

So taking a deep breath, I walked into the Boutique. Of course, no pony was in there or anything so I was all alone. Not even an animal friend to comfort me. Opal was probably taking her mid-afternoon nap, so that left me with only the job to do. Which was a little frightening, but still something I had to do.

So going into the workroom I saw all the materials gathered up in one place, ready to be used. Along with a picture of the order, and some notes with any important tips on what the design should appear to be. Which was mainly the type of stitching, the color scheme, and a few other things. It looked simple enough really. Even easier than Rarity's Gala dress I sewed together.

Oh, there I go bragging again. I really need to learn not to gloat about anything like that. It makes me seem so boastful.

I guess now that only leaves one thing. What about the gems? I mean, it doesn't say anything about them on the list of instructions. But it doesn't show any of the gems on the design either. I guess Rarity knew just how she was going to put them on so she didn't need to look at the design for the gems.

Well... Maybe the customer will be just fine with only the lining having a small amount of gems on them. I mean, it might not have been what Rarity would do, but hopefully it'll still be good enough.

It also has the deadline on the instructions too. Which said that it was due in- forty-five minutes! Oh no! I've been taking so long in studying the design, that I've wasted most of the time! I need to get started right away if I'm going to finish this!


Twilight's POV

Okay, I'm here! Now I just need to act like Pinkie until the cakes make their delivery. Then I simply need to take care of the twins. Well that shouldn't be too hard. I mean, I won't even have to act like Pinkie for that part.

As soon as I walked in, I saw a decent amount of boxes piled neatly next to the counter. Mr. Cake coming inside to get them and bring them out to a cart. While Mrs. Cake was sitting by, waiting for me to come.

"Oh there you are Pinkie! Right on time! We have to leave any second now!" Mrs. Cake said, happy to see me.

Oh I really hope I can pull off acting like Pinkie Pie. I mean, I knew how she acted. Of course, that's pretty hard to miss. The only thing is trying to act like her. It's not really easy for some pony to just act without reason all of a sudden where as Pinkie was a natural at it.

"Don't worry Mrs. Cake! You can count on me to watch them!" I said, saluting to her to act a little too serious.

"Good." She said, gettin up. "Now, they're asleep in their cribs and we'll only be gone for a few hours. But they might even stay asleep the whole time." Mrs. Cake told me with a smile.

"Okey-Dokey-Lokey!" I said, glad that I could say that naturally with Pinkie's voice.

"Come on now dear, we need to get going!" Mr. Cake said as he got the last box and started heading outside.

"Oh, right! Well, bye Pinkie Pie! We're counting on you! And remember, all your responsibilities are on the list that's on top of the fridge!" Mrs. Cake said, going outside to meet up with Mr. Cake so they could get going to deliver all of the sweets.

"Don't worry! Everything's under control!" I said, closing the door behind them. "Phew! At least that was easy. Anyway, the list is on the fridge and the babies are asleep. Good idea to check on them first." I said, announcing my first job out-loud to reassess the situation.

I then made my way upstairs, not having that much of a problem though since Pinkie was only a few inches shorter than me to begin with. And I got to the baby's room and opened the door to see the quiet sleeping faces off... No pony what so ever.

"Oh no, not good! Where are they?!" I said, now suddenly nervous about just how hard it had all became.

That's when I heard their laughter coming from- outside the open window!

I quickly ran over to the window to see that outside Sugarcube Corner were the babies. I went wide-eyed and ran for the door, going faster than I would have gone being me. Guess Pinkie was faster than me.

As soon as I got outside, I got to where they were. Only to see that they were already gone! I looked around frantically to find them, knowing that they couldn't have gone far.

Luckily, I was right as I saw a small flying baby round the corner... FLYING?! Oh no! This is bad! This is very bad! I thought Pinkie was just exaggerating when she said that they could fly and use magic for more than just sudden bursts!

Wait, it's probably not that bad! I mean, think about it! It's not like you saw Pumpkin Cake using magic right?! So maybe Pound is just an early bloomer or something! Yeah! That's probably it!

Sadly, I was proven wrong yet again when I saw a ball being levitated by Pumpkin Cake. "Hey, that's my ball!" A colt yelled out, very angry at the baby.

But when Pumpkin started to try to eat it, the colt sighed. "Ugh. Keep it..." He then walked away, sad that his ball was now a chew toy for a little baby filly.

"Pumpkin Cake, no! We do not eat toys, and we definitely do not steal!" I said, trying to use my magic to levitate it away. Only to see a few seconds later that it wasn't working because Pinkie Pie doesn't have magic...

I sighed and went over, getting the ball out of her mouth. She then started to tear up a little. "Oh please don't cry! Don't cry!" I said, trying to calm her down.

"Wait! Maybe Pinkie Pie has something that can help!" I said, reaching in the one place I always see Pinkie going for random stuff. Her mane!

"Come on, there's gotta be a pacifier or something!" I said, trying to find something in Pinkie's tangled up mane. Which for now was mine. "OW!" I pulled my hoof out, and saw a small hermit crab was pinching it. "Why does she... Oh, never mind!" I said, shaking the hermit crab off my hoof and trying to find something else in the mane.

I then came across something else and pulled it out, it luckily being a pacifier! "Oh, thank Celestia!" I said, putting it in the crying Pumpkin Cake's mouth. She then stopped crying and calmed down, making me sigh in relief.

"Okay. One down, one to go!" I said, putting Carrot Cake on my back and running off to find Pound Cake, keeping an eye on Carrot as I went. I can manage this, I mean, it's not like it'll be any harder than it is now to handle two babies...Right?...Right?!...


Rarity's POV

As soon as I got to Fluttershy's Cottage, it all looked calm enough. As always, there were a few animals flying and walking around here and there. Most of them going into the house. I was assuming because it was feeding time for them all. Which I had to manage for now...

I took in a deep breath and began to get myself ready. "Alright Rarity, you can do this. It is only until Blitz can find and learn how to fix the spell after all, so it won't be that difficult. Besides, I'm sure that Fluttershy has a list of what chores she has to do somewhere. Okay, all that leaves is maintaining a Fluttershy-like attitude." I said, summing up everything I had to accomplish.

I took a deep breath to clear my head, then headed in at a calm pace. Knowing that just barging inside wouldn't be anything Fluttershy would normally do.

And as soon as I got inside, I saw that most of the animals were all gathered in the living room. Awaiting me to give them their food.

"Oh, hello little ones." I said, making as gentle a voice as possible. "Sorry I'm late, Twilight wanted my help with something." I told them.

That made most of them simply smile and nod, I guess forgiving me. At least I was able to understand that much.

"Alright, now where's the food for them..." I mumbled to myself, looking around. When I heard a whistle, I turned and saw a squirrel holding a box of animal food.

"Oh, thank you for finding the box for me." I said carefully, going over and taking the box from him. I then saw the animals huddle around in a circle where the food was supposed to go. Well at least they were all making it easy for me.

I then simply poured most of the box in the middle of all of them, making them simply dive right in. Well, I guess that's one way to eat. Although you'd never see me eating like them.

As I started to put the box back where that squirrel was standing, I heard some pony clear their throat. Or, a bunny to be exact.

"Oh, I'm sorry." I said turning around. I then saw a slightly irritated Angel frowning at me. "I almost forgot. Here you go Angel." I said, pouring the food into a small bowl, then putting it in front of the rabbit. I mean, it made sense to give Angel more attention since he was Fluttershy's actual pet after all.

He only rose an eyebrow towards me, making me unsure of what to do next. "What-what's wrong Angel? Don't you want to eat?" I asked, trying to keep in character.

He then frowned even more, not buying it. He then tried to show me what he meant with charades, which I was never good at. He pointed to the bowl of animal food, then his tongue as he frowned.

"Well um, yes. That's what you do with food... You eat it." I said, not sure what Angel was referring to.

He shook his head and kicked the bowl, knocking the contents of the food all over the floor. Which the other animals hoarded and started eating.

"W-why would you do that? I thought you were hungry..." I said, shocked at why he would just throw that food away when he was obviously waiting for me to bring him some food.

He shook his head once more, and rubbed his stomach. Showing that he was indeed hungry. But he had thrown away the food I gave him that was especially for animals. So, what was he trying to say?

"But I tried giving you some food and you didn't want it... I don't understand what you want." I told him, being sincere, yet gentle about telling him.

But after saying that, he went wide-eyed for a second before glaring right at me. Angry at me all of a sudden. And not irritated angry. Angry as in I betrayed him in some way.

"What's wrong?" I asked, now scared about just why he was glaring at me.

He answered by jumping over to a table and picking up a picture of Fluttershy and Angel having a small picnic, showing it to me.

"What's wrong? Isn't it a picture of us?" I asked, getting nervous about what this was leading to.

He shook his head no and glared even more at me, showing me that he obviously knew that I wasn't Fluttershy.

"Well... It was great seeing you Angel, but I think Twilight might need my help again. So I think that I'm just going to go now. Ta t- I mean, bye now." I finished, now going for the door. But as soon as I got to the doorway, Angel, along with some other animals, started coming after me. All of them now knowing that I wasn't really Fluttershy.

"AH!" I screamed out, now running as fast as I could to get away from the animals. Which wasn't all that amusing at all because as much as I despised any physical activity that would cause my appearance to falter, being attacked by animals was definitely the bigger problem here.

I needed to get away from these animals as quickly as possible. Or at least lose them long enough to the point where I could wait for Blitz to hurry up and find the spell. But where...

"That's it!" I yelled out as I kept running towards Ponyville, having a stroke of genius! I know just where to hide! As long as the others can get to the library soon, I'll be just fine, and Fluttershy can help sort this out.

"Oh! I sure hope that she can help!" I said as I started coming into Ponyville. Squirrels, mice, and Angel all chasing after me all the way.


Fluttershy's POV

"Oh, I hope it's good enough! I don't want some pony to get mad at Rarity when it's really my fault!" I said, nervous about how this was going to turn out. And the fact that I was all alone without any pony to tell me what I may or may not have done right was only making it worse.

I went ahead and looked back at the robes the customer custom ordered, trying to see if there was anything that could've made it any bit better. I mean, the color scheme was right as far as the instructions asked, and it included all the other details and parts it asked for. Such as the hood, silver bracings for the front hooves, and even the belt that had the odd, yet scary looking triangle figure. All was right.

The only thing that I was worried about was the gems. Because Rarity didn't put in the design for the gems, which left me having to come up with a design myself. That being said, I decided to line the hood, sleeves, and bottom of the robes with small red rubies. Making the edges of the robes shine beautifully. But still, it was only what I thought. I wasn't the pony who would be keeping the robes.

And almost right on time, the front door opened. And the pony who specially ordered the robes came in. I had his robes on a mannequin, and under a sheet so the surprise wouldn't be ruined right away.

"Oh. Hello there." I said, trying to act just like Rarity. Which meant not acting like me. And I really hope that I didn't mess this up for her.

"Hi. So, it's finished?" He asked, getting right to the point. He looked a little excited about seeing it. I guess he really wanted to see it.

"Yes, it's right here." I said, taking the sheet off of the mannequin to reveal the robes. And when he saw them he had a mixed reaction. Which I frowned a bit at because that meant that I had to have messed up somewhere. "What's wrong?"

"Well it's great except for the one thing you said you wouldn't do...You put gems on it!" He said gesturing to it.

It made me flinch a little, but I know that I had to try to act like Rarity. So I did my best. "T-that's bad?..." I asked, not sure what else to say. I never guessed that there didn't have to be gems on it. I mean, usually every order Rarity makes needs gems. They look great with them. So I thought Rarity wanted to make it with gems.

He face-hoofed for a second before speaking up again. "Yes it's bad! I thought I made it clear that I didn't want any gems on this! And you even said yourself that you wouldn't put any on here! Multiple times!" He yelled out. Oh no! Now I think I know why it wasn't on Rarity's notes! She wouldn't forget something like that. Oh, why did I have to be so reckless?

"I...I'm sorry..." I said, not meaning to mess this up.

"Well that's not gonna do much! I mean, I even went as far as to pay you up front! I knew something like this wou..." He face-hoofed again before looking at me. "You know what, forget it. I'm just gonna go before I start yelling even more." He said as he started to go out the store.

This wasn't good. I couldn't just let him go like this. What would Rarity think? No, I had to try again. "W-wait..." I called out, hoping he would turn around.

He simply sighed and turned around. "Yes?"

"W-what if I redo it?" I asked him, not sure what else to say.

"Redo it? The whole thing? Without the gems?" He asked, clarifying that part to me again.

"Yes... I can redo it for you... If you'd like." I told him, desperate to fix this so Rarity wouldn't have to go through this when we switched back.

"Hmm... And how much would that cost anyway?" He asked, considering it.

"N-nothing. I...I'll do it for free." I told him, gulping. I hope Rarity would be okay with that.

"Well..." He sighed and nodded. "What else do I have to lose? Fine, I'll come back again. How long will it take this time?" He asked.

I felt so relieved that he would let me try again. At least I would have a chance to fix this. "It'll only take an hour... If, that's okay with you that is..." I told him, not wanting to force a time on him.

"Only an hour huh? That's a third of the time than before... And you really think that you can do it that fast?" He asked me.

"Yes. I can do it. I promise... Unless, you want it done sooner." I told him.

"No, an hour's fine I guess... Okay, fine. I'll come back in an hour then. Thanks." He said, now leaving.

And after he was gone, I sighed in relief. I almost ruined it all and made some pony hate Rarity's work. I don't know what I would do if I let that happen. At least now I just need to get to work re-doing the almost same design. All I need to do is get out the materials myself and get to work.

Only problem is... All the regular pure white fabric was at the very top of shelf. And all of the treads I needed were also somewhere I couldn't quite reach without my wings. Which left only one other thing for me to do. One thing that I had no experience or idea how to control.

I had to use Rarity's magic to remake the robes.


And so ends the second part! I really hope that you all are liking the stories, and if any of you have advice for how I could make it better don't hesitate to review or PM it to me! Honestly, I love criticism just as much as praise for my stories. Lets me know just how well, or bad, I'm doing with them!

Anyway, until next time every pony! Bro fists to all the Bros, and Bro-hooves to all the Bronies! Goodbye!
