Hello again. This time we will be reading a fic called Book 1:Changing Patterns by natis120. This is a fic about a changeling OC that spends most of the fic angsting and suffering for one reason or another. Oh, and the Mane 6 are married and have kids for no real reason. And everypony is antro. Again for no real reason.

If you are interested, I just did a co-riff with Key Strix on the story The Survey by Sparrow9642 for Discord's Funtastic Theater 3000. It’s a silly horror story about an internet survey that, instead of wasting your time and giving false promises of winning a gift card, it kills you! You can find it here.

Next time I will be riffing a dark fic called Night Fall Equestria by FLUTTERxxDASH. A fic I actually found enjoyable despite the ridiculous ultra violence, (non-pony) swearing, and less than great grammar. I also found a Doctor Whooves fic that I will be doing soon. It’s called Doctor Whooves: Impossible Portal by Splat. I hope you enjoy the rif!

If you have a fanfic recommendation, comments, or criticisms please leave a comment or PM me at my fimfiction account. Please NO clop or fanfiction with extreme violence. I am not going to do those. I want to do a more family friendly series and it is going to be relatively clean. Besides everyone else does them. Okay, I might do one for a special occasion. But otherwise no clop or extreme gore fics. Ok, enough rambling. On with the fic!

Thank you natis120 for letting me use your fic! You are awesome!

Doctor and Ditzy’s Science Theater

by Rixizu

Episode 26 - Part 1

Eclipse Shadow blinked in bewilderment. “You want a dance… off?”

“Exactly!” The Doctor grinned a wide smile.

“Very well.” Eclipse said after a few moments. What is he playing at? No matter. As Twilight Sparkle, I was unparalleled on the dance floor. This pony has just signed his death warrant. She tried hard to not seem too satisfied with herself.

“How about we up the ante a bit?” The Doctor said. “Let’s do a magical contract!”

Eclipse tilted her head. “A what?”

“You know, a contract that binds the ones that signed it. As you would expect, something horrible happens to the one that breaks it.” The Doctor explained. “My idea is that loser is forced to do whatever the winner wants. Within reason of course. So, if you win, I promise to become your willing slave!”

“And if you win?” Eclipse asked.

“Oh, nothing too much I promise!” The Doctor grinned.

Eclipse felt a wave of uneasiness. This stallion was up to something. She narrowed her eyes. “What is it?”

“You lose your ability to use dark magic, forever.” The Doctor said in an offhoofed manner. “Nothing really compared to what I might lose.”

Eclipse actually started to feel herself get nervous. If she lost, it meant she lost everything. She would be useless, powerless. This stallion wasn’t playing around despite his tone. Eclipse shook her head. There was no way she could agree to that.

“Oh, come on.” The Doctor said disappointedly. “How about this then? If all three of us, Ditzy, Trixie, and I all defeat you in a game, then you still lose your powers. But! If even one of us loses, we all become your willing servants for life! How does that sound?”

Eclipse almost laughed. Can he really be that stupid? He had Trixie of all ponies on his side. And he had that bubble head mailmare as well. What a desperate, hopeless gambit. “Very well. You have a deal. I’ll take any challenge! If it is okay with them?” Ditzy and Trixie nodded in grim determination.

The Doctor clapped his hooves together. “It’s a deal then! As I said before, I will challenge you to dancing. How about you Ditzy?”

“I challenge you to a kitting off!” Ditzy grinned a wide smile.

“Really?” The Doctor asked. “I thought you would challenge her to poker.”

Ditzy waved a hoof dismissively. “I could true, but I think a knitting contest would be more fun! And I’m a spider now, so it kinda fits.” She gestured to her spiderpony body that was transformed by Eclipse’s dark magic.

Knitting. Eclipse winced and scowled. Why did I have to say any challenge? Oh well, even if I lose it, I still only need to win one.

            Trixie grinned. “Trixie will take poker then.”

“How about that? Hm?” The Doctor asked.

Foals. Eclipse smirked. “You have a deal!”

You actually know how to make a magical contact Doctor?” Trixie asked.

The Doctor nodded. “It actually isn’t that complicated. It just required signing a piece of paper with your blood and vowing death if you break the contract. Blood magic is pretty powerful and potent. It’s not something you really want to play around with.”

“Where the hay did you even learn this?” Trixie asked amazed.

“It’s a long story.” The Doctor said. “Let’s just say it involved a nasty encounter with some Flutter Ponies.”

What? Eclipse thought bewildered.

The Doctor spent a few minutes writing out a contact that Eclipse and the Doctor both agreed on. Eclipse was very careful to avoid any loopholes the Doctor might try to exploit. She knew the contract was bound by the letter of the law, not the spirit. Obviously anypony bound by this type of contract would seek out ways to exploit it without technically breaking it. They all pricked their hooves and signed the paper in blood. Eclipse could feel the powerful magic at work here. The Doctor was not kidding about the dangers of breaking this contract. She wondered if the Doctor was trying to trick her into doing such. He was a foal if he thought she would fall for that.

The Doctor stretched as he prepared himself for the contest. Eclipse stood still observing him. He was her most dangerous opponent, that she was sure of. She felt warning bells in her head telling her not to trust him one bit. It was odd just how confident and sure he was considering the situation. Ditzy and Trixie were at least a bit nervous, but he was cool and relaxed, like having the threat of eternal servitude was just like any other day.

“Ready.” The Doctor said in a cheerful tone after getting done with his exercises.

“Ready when you are.” Eclipse smirked.

Octavia and DJ-Pon3 stood by the sidelines to judge their performance. Somehow Ditzy convinced them to judge their little contest after she entered the portal to Eclipse’s world. To Eclipse’s dismay, the two weren’t improved yet, but she knew she would blow them away with her suave moves.

The Doctor clapped his hooves together. “This is called Venusian Ka. It’s meant to be performed by a being with five arms and legs, but I can show that even a quadruped can do it.”

The ears of the judges perked up when he said this and they watched him intently. He waved to Vinyl who worked a turntable and a loud energetic song played.

The Doctor started a strange elaborate dance with hypnotic skill and grace. He spun his body in the air like a top and somehow landed on his hooves to crouch without missing a single step. He did a flip and landed one hoof and held himself in the air. The Doctor grinned like a foal and propelled himself into the air into a backflip and landed on one of his bottom hooves with perfect balance standing upright. He landed back on four hooves and went into the dance he was doing before only backwards. He used the same flips he did before only in reverse and ended his dance with the same step he started with. Eclipse’s jaw dropped. His audience gave an enthusiastic applause.

“Wow Doctor!” Ditzy exclaimed. “That is really impressive for somepony that used to be a biped only a year ago!”

…What? Eclipse thought baffled.

“I’ve had plenty of time to practice.” The Doctor explained. “When you literally nothing to do all day, you start to get a little creative to keep your mind busy.”

“Not bad.” Trixie admitted. “The Great and Powerful Trixie might want to use you in an act one day. Not as impressive as what Trixie would have done of course.”

Everypony looked at the judges. Octavia gave the Doctor a 10 and Vinyl an 8. The Doctor gave Vinyl an inquisitive look and she just shrugged in return.

The Doctor gave Eclipse a graceful bow. “Your turn.”

Impressive, but you only got a 10 and an 8. That is nothing to me! Eclipse smirked. All eyes turned towards her and they watched her intently.

Eclipse waved her tail back and forth with as much vigor as could muster. Her body moved to an intense rhythm with no discernable pattern. Her hooves were waved with harsh back and forth motions. She closed her eyes while she wiggled spastically, lost to everything around her. Her tongue poked out of her mouth and she has a wide smile on her face. After five minutes her dance came to an end, and she faced her judges grinning. Trixie’s shocked expression pleased her. The Doctor was smiling for some reason and Ditzy stared wide-eyed.

Octavia put her face and her hooves and shook it back and forth. She gave Eclipse a 0. Vinyl rubbed her temple and gave a -3.

“What?!” Eclipse exclaimed in surprise. “That was perfect!”

“Doctor, I think you undersold Sparkle’s dancing ability.” Trixie finally said. “I think that should be called anti-dancing!”

“It was like she was having an epileptic fit!” Ditzy pointed out. The Doctor just grinned.

Eclipse ground her teeth. These ponies had no idea what they were talking about. No account of taste she guessed. Fine. Whatever. She still had two rounds left.

“My turn!” Ditzy exclaimed and pulled out a ball of yarn.

Eclipse grabbed one herself. “What should we make?”

“Something simple.” Ditzy stated. “How about a scarf?”

"Fine by me.” Eclipse said. That doesn’t sound so bad. Even if I don’t have any skill in knitting, I should be able to handle this no problem. It was only a bunch of squares in a straight line. How hard could it be?

---

“This is my entry!” Ditzy presented a white scarf with happy little bees pollinating yellow flowers. It had pink tassels at the end. Octavia and Vinyl nodded in approval.

“It’s very cute.” Trixie commented.

“You’re pretty good at that.” The Doctor commented.

“Ah thanks.” Ditzy smiled. “My mom taught me. It’s a bit of a hobby.”

The Doctor clapped his hooves together. “So, how did you do Eclipse?”

Eclipse winced and presented what she created. Her entry barely looked like a scarf. It was grey and has several giant holes in it and. When drawn out to its full length, it looked more like an erratic wave than a straight line. All the tassels were even and straight and Eclipse was proud of that at least.

Trixie burst out into laughter and Eclipse glared at her. “Nice scarf, Sparkle! Were you blindfolded and drunk while making it?”

The Doctor laughed as well and Ditzy tried and failed to control a snicker of her own. The judges just shook their heads and gave Ditzy’s scarf a red ribbon. Eclipse gritted her teeth. These foals were so sure of themselves, but the real trial was about to begin!

---

“Oh no! Trixie has lost again!” Trixie lamented, putting a hoof to her head. She threw her cards to the table dramatically.

Eclipse smirked. This wasn’t as hard as she thought it would be. So far Trixie had lost every hand so far. Of the 100 chips she started with, Trixie lost 25 of them. So far so good. Eclipse had a hard time not grinning. Trixie just was just the idiotic fool Eclipse thought she was.

Trixie folded the next two hands right away, and now on this hand was looking at her cards with open dismay. This was actually getting to be pretty fun. Not as fun as her chess game with Princess Luna, but enjoyable nonetheless. The self-deluded illusionist wasn’t putting up as much of a fight as Luna did.

“You might as well give up now. You have no chance of winning, Trixie. You don’t have to fear the darkness, I promise you will grow to love it. You will be immortal and powerful; better than the pitiful third rate magician you are now.” Eclipse explained. Now it was time to break her.

Trixie gritted her teeth. “Trixie is not over yet!”

Eclipse looked at her hand. The two cards Octavia gave her now provided her with three 2s. “I raise 10 chips.”

Trixie scrutinized her hand and threw in ten chips herself. She frowned. “I’ll call that.”

One a roll Eclipse decided to raise again. “I raise 10 more chips.”

“I-I call that.” Trixie stammered and threw in more chips. This would leave her with only 50 chips, if she lost.

Eclipse threw her hand down. “Three of a kind! Beat that!”

Eclipse eyes widened when Trixie suddenly smirked. “A flush.” Her hand had all spades

.

Eclipse winced. She got cocky. No matter. She would win it back and that would be easy

enough.

Trixie laughed. “Trixie isn’t out of the game yet.”

Eclipse tapped the table in a nervous gesture. Somehow the game was going horribly wrong for her. Her pile of chips was getting smaller and smaller. After her first big loss, the whole game changed. Trixie somehow knew her hands and trounced her every time she tried to bluff.

How was it possible the game went south so quickly? Was Trixie just playing

dumb the first few hands? She had a good hand now. Maybe this was a good time

to gain some chips back.

“I raise 10 chips.” Eclipse said.

“I fold. “Trixie said and gave Octavia her hand.

Eclipse scowled. So much for that hand.

“Problem, Sparkle?” Trixie taunted.

“It’s Eclipse Shadow now.” Eclipse growled.

“Whatever.” Trixie waved a dismissive hoof.

You little. Eclipse had forgotten just how annoying the magician was. It was difficult to not reach over the table and strangle the unicorn. She forced a smile.

“Really Sparkle you shouldn’t be so surprised.” Trixie laughed. “The Great and Powerful Trixie has a multitude of talents. You’ve only good at magic. It’s no comparison which the better between the two of us.”

Eclipse ground her teeth as she put her bid forward and realized that she didn’t even take a glance at her cards. She had nothing but she just bid 15 clips by accident.

“I call that.” Trixie said smirking and put her clips in the pot.

“Three cards.” Again, Eclipse got nothing but junk. “I fold.”

Now Eclipse was ready to punch Trixie for the smug look on the magician’s face. No, that is what she wants. She’s trying to throw you off your game. Eclipse counted her pile. There were only 20 clips left. She was going to... No! She was the Queen of Darkness Ruler of All! She could not lose everything to a silly poker game, to Trixie of all ponies! It was inconceivable! Impossible!

The next few hands went a bit better, but Trixie still had an overwhelming advantage. Trixie, as it turned out, had a masterful poker face and it was impossible to tell what her cards were. One thing though, Trixie loved rubbing her victories in Eclipse’s face and had a smug grin whenever she won. It was hard not to grind her teeth in frustration.

To Eclipse’s dismay, she only had 15 chips left and to horror realized that she might lose this. No! She could win! She beat Nightmare Moon and Discord, right? A lame street magician was nothing, but back then she had… No! They were irrelevant. She had power now that made her more powerful than she ever was with them, but yet… She wanted them next to her now. Their comforting words and cheers. She would give anything to have that now. She was alone. All the sudden she felt so small. Like an ant facing a giant. How did she ever beat Nightmare Moon? She was just a filly! No! No! No! She was the Queen of Darkness! Losing is impossible for her! She couldn’t lose! She cannot lose!

Eclipse slammed her hoof the table. “How about we make things interesting and have one last hand. Winner takes all. Best hand wins!”

Everypony looked at Trixie and she grinned. “Fine by me.”

Doctor clapped his hooves together. “This should be interesting.”

“I hope Trixie knows what she’s doing.” Ditzy said with worry.

Ha! I knew her ego would make it impossible to resist a final showdown. Eclipse thought. This was her last shot and she couldn’t waste it.

You have got to be kidding me. Eclipse’s hand was a 2 of spades, 7 of spades, 8 of spades, Jack of Clubs, King of Clubs. She has nothing. She was going to… lose? No! That will never happen. She still had a chance.

“Not bad at all.” Trixie said grinning looking at her cards.

No! She’s got a good hand. I have nothing. It would take a miracle to win now. Eclipse thought in growing horror. No! No! No! No! No! No! I will not lose. I am the Queen of Darkness! Equestria fell to my might! The princesses were like weak foals compared to me! Discord? Nothing! The Element of Harmony bend my will alone! Losing is impossible for me! I can’t lose to this pathetic fourth rate unicorn! I am unconquerable!

“Three cards.” Eclipse said. She broke out in mad laughter when she saw them; an Ace of Clubs, a Ten of Clubs, and a Queen of Clubs!

“Royal Flush!” Eclipse threw them to the table for everypony to see. She won! No hand can beat that! Somepony like her could never fail. Never lose! These pathetic foals couldn’t beat her! Nopony could! She was a goddess!

“Uh, what are you talking about?” Trixie asked eyebrow raised. “You have nothing.”

Eclipse looked down back at her cards. No. It couldn’t be. On the table was the Jack of Clubs, King of Clubs, 7 of Spades, 3 of Spades, and a 5 of Hearts.

Eclipse stood up and pointed a hoof at Trixie. “Lies! You used your magic to change the cards somehow!”

Everypony in the room looked at each other than Eclipse. “What are you talk about?” Ditzy asked. “You never had a royal flush. I saw your cards the moment they hit the table.” Vinyl and Octavia nodded.

“No! It’s lies! It has to be! I can’t lose! I never lose! I am the invincible Eclipse Shadow! Ruler of all creation! Goddess of Equestria and the world!” Eclipse screamed.

            Trixie put her cards down. She had a full house. “Sorry sister, but game over.”

            Eclipse screamed in pain at a horror she never knew. She felt her power leaving her. Darkness leaked from her body as if she was full of holes. Eclipse grabbed her body tight with her tails and hooves trying to stop it. This couldn’t be happening. It was flowing so fast she couldn’t stop it. She hugged herself so tight it hurt, but it did nothing. She reached out to the darkness as it dissipated in the air. No! It couldn’t leave her. It was all she had left. Without it she was nothing! Had nothing! No friends! No family! No…anything. She was an empty pathetic shell. Eclipse screamed and wailed even more. It was over! She was nothing! Had nothing!

            Eclipse curled into a ball and sobbed. She felt a hoof on her back. Eclipse looked up. It was hard to see through her tears, but…no…it couldn’t be. Trixie would never…

            “It’s going to be okay.” Trixie soothed and rubbed Eclipse’s back.

            “No, it’s not!” Eclipse wailed. “I’m nothing now.”

            Trixie gave a sad smile. “You? Never! You are the strongest mare Trixie knows. You can overcome anything.”

            “Just leave me alone.” Eclipse turned away.

            “I’ve been where you’re at.” Trixie said sitting behind Eclipse. “Remember the alicorn amulet? It made me a little crazy too. I thought back then that nopony would ever forgive me for that, but you did, Sparkle.”

            “I don’t think I have ever told you how much that meant to me.” Trixie continued. “You saved me.”

            Eclipse sniffled, but said nothing.

            “I know we don’t really get along, but I still think of you as a friend.” Trixie smiled. “I forgive you, Twilight. Please, turn back into the same silly little mare that beat Nightmare Moon and Discord. You don’t have to be alone. I’m here for you. We are here for you.”

Trixie gestured to all of her friends. They gave Eclipse warm smiles. Eclipse felt something warm in her belly. No, it was her chest. It was familiar somehow. It reminded her of… Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Applejack. This was the warmth she felt the day she… no they beat Nightmare Moon. She didn’t want to lose this feeling. Not again. Why did she ever give it up? She had friends now. She didn’t need the darkness. All it gave her was coldness and loneliness. What was the use of being all powerful if she was alone?

Eclipse…no, Twilight Sparkle felt herself lifting off the ground. The crown on her head glowing. It was time to make things right. A wave of rainbow light flooded the room. When Twilight Sparkle landed on the ground, she was back to being a plain old unicorn again. Ditzy was back to her old self as well.

“You're back!” Ditzy ran up to Twilight and gave her a big hug.

“I knew you could do it, Twilight.” The Doctor smiled. “All we needed was a way to reach out to you.”

“Thank you, Trixie.” Twilight said with a genuine smile on her face.

Trixie rubbed her cheek embarrassed. “Trixie promises you it was only a onetime thing, Sparkle. I am never making a cheesy friendship speech again. The Great and Poweful Trixie has better things to do than save your flank.”

Twilight laughed. “Sure thing, Trixie.”

“Ugh, the half-witted illusionist is right. I almost lost my brunch with that sickening speech of hers.” A voice said.

A strange figure appeared in a flash. He was this strange combination of a serpent and a dragon. It was somepony that Twilight instantly recognized.

Twilight narrowed her eyes. “Discord.”

“Correctamundo!” Discord clapped his hooves together. “I was worried that all that dark magic might give you brain damage.”

“Just as I thought. Eclipse’s magic didn’t really affect you, did it?” The Doctor accused also narrowing his eyes.

“Ding ding ding.” Discord turned back into his original form in a puff and confetti, streamers, and pies rained on the Doctor who looked less than amused. “Like that little upstart’s magic could work on me. Please.”

“And you are the one behind the portal.” The Doctor accused while wiping pie off himself.

“You are a smart one, Doc!” Discord praised. A dunce cap appeared on the Doctor’s head.

“Wait a second!” Trixie fumed. “If you had your powers all along, why didn’t you stop Eclipse?!”

“Ugh, that’s far too much work.” Discord said dismissively. “Besides, I thought it would better to get a professional. And who is more equipped to solve this than “The Doctor”!” A long multicolored scarf appeared, wrapped around the Doctor’s neck and covered almost his entire body. A swirling blue backdrop appeared behind him strange haunting music played. The Doctor tried and failed to get rid of the surrounding scarf.

Everypony in the room glared at Discord. “What? It worked, didn’t it?” He said in his defense. Twilight put her head in her hooves. Typical Discord.

“As fun as it is to chat with the Three Stooges here, don’t you think you’re forgetting something? Something important?” Discord asked tapping Twilight hard on the head.

“My friends! They’re still being controlled by dark magic!” Twilight exclaimed. She then felt herself being picked up by giant tweezers and placed into a sled pulled by flying mongooses.

“If you will excuse us, we really need to get going.” Discord said grabbing the reins of the sled. “I have tea with Fluttershy tomorrow and I would rather not want to miss it.”

“Wait! What about us?!” Trixie exclaimed. “Take use with you! Or at least get us out of here!”

“No can do!” Discord said shaking the reins. The sled moved towards a blue swirling portal that suddenly appeared in the sky. “It’s far too amusing to have you stuck here! Tata!”

Twilight glared at Discord. “Discord!”

“Fine, I will send them some coupons in the mail or something.” Discord relented. “That should pay them handsomely. And I should know, I am the most handsome being the multiverse!”

“At least get Octavia and Vinyl!” Twilight yelled.

“What do I look like a taxi driver?” Discord asked rolling his eyes, literally. Twilight continued to glare at him. “Fine!” With a snap Vinyl and Octavia appeared on the sled behind them.

“Thanks for everything!” Twilight said as they entered the portal waving at her new friends. She hopes they would be okay.

---

“And that’s when they left to save her friends!” Ditzy explained. She had just spent the last twenty minutes explaining their adventure to Dinky.

“Yeah and leaving us high and dry!” Trixie said with bitterness.

“Not that it was much of a surprise coming from him.” The Doctor sighed.

“Trixie is going to wring his neck the next time I see him!” Trixie exclaimed pounding a hoof on the ground.

Ditzy shook her head at Trixie’s ability to keep a grudge.

“Doctor, how do you keep getting yourself in these situations?” Dinky asked sighing.

“Comes with the territory.” The Doctor shrugged. Ditzy nodded in agreement.

“Okay, with all of that now out of the way, today you will be reading Book 1: Changing Patterns by natis120. Chapters 1 through 4.” Dinky said.

“Book 1?!” Trixie exclaimed. “How many books are there?”

“Enjoy.” Dinky gave off her evil laugh as usual. The experiment alarm blared off.

“Book 1, huh?” Ditzy said ponderously. “Is this going to be like Avatar and be a long running story that spans multiple epic arcs?”

“Yeah right.” Trixie waved a dismissive hoof. “You’re expecting too much from nas-whatever.”

“Ready?” The Doctor ask. Ditzy and Trixie nodded, and they entered the theater.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello my name is Poison Ivy

All: Hi, Poison Ivy.

Ditzy: Oh! Is this a Batpony crossover fic? Neat!

Trixie: You wish it was that.

and this is my story.

Ditzy: (Poison Ivy) This is my story. It'll go the way I want it...or I'll end it here!

In a land far away from Equestria, lived a changeling queen whose heart was as black as night.

Ditzy: But gave generously to charities and worked part time at the homeless center.

Her name was Chrysalis and she had a daughter who was kind and caring,nothing like her.

Doctor: Isn’t that always the thing?

Her name was Poison Ivy.

Trixie: Yes, we know! You said that already!

Ditzy: You realize you have a villain name right?

Chrysalis hatted the fact that her daughter was never going to be the evil queen that she was and considered her useless.

Ditzy: (Chrysalis) The fact you don’t regularly eat kittens shames me! I have no daughter!

On her sixteenth birthday,Poison Ivy asked her mother if she could move to Equestria for a change.

Ditzy: Oh! Because she’s a changeling! Get it! Ha!

Trixie: So she could perform on Broadway!

Sensing an opportunity to get rid of Ivy,Chrysalis said yes.

Ditzy: (Chrysalis) You better get a job! And don’t expect any money from home. You’re on your own!

Poison Ivy could not have been any happier. She instantly spread her large wings and took off to Canterlot.

Doctor: (Chrysalis) This is perfect! Now I can use her old room as a sewing room!

Upon reaching Canterlot,Ivy noticed that they were no changelings around

Trixie: How could you tell? You all use disguises!

and decided to transform into a lilac alicorn.

Trixie: Like she wasn’t already a bad OC stereotype.

But little did she know that they were only four alicorns in Equestria.

Doctor: Curry, Moe, Larry, and Shemp.

Ivy landed near the gates of Canterlot Castle. A unicorn guard looked at Ivy with wide eyes,Ivy hot the guard a deadly glare which only made him stare even more.

Trixie: (Guard) Get the virgin sacrifices! We have another alicorn to please!

"What?!" She finally snapped.

The guard just stood there for a few seconds before snapping back to reality and opening a door leading inside the castle.

"Follow me M'lady." He said before walking inside the door.

Ivy shrugged and followed the guard inside the castle.

Trixie: (Chrysalis) Bwahaha! I completely forgot to teach her about stranger danger

Inside the door it was pitch black but was soon illuminated by the guard's horn.

Doctor: The princess’s are too cheap to have electricity running through anywhere but their rooms.

Ditzy: They have to play COD somehow right?

"Come" He said as he walked through a small alley connected to the room they stood in.

Doctor: (Guard) We call it Crime Alley.

"If you say so..." Poison Ivy said as she followed the guard into the passage.

"So where exactly are we going?" She asked looking at the guard,his horn still glowing in the dark alley.

"To the Royal Sisters." He said with a serious expression.

Doctor (Guard) They don’t like new alicorns moving in on their turf.

Ivy stopped,dead in her tracks. She had heard horrible stories about the so called royal sisters back at the the hive. In one of them,the Royal Sisters defeated her long lost father,   King Sombra.

Trixie: You have got to be kidding me.

Doctor: (Facehoofs) It’s one of those stories then.

"NO," She stomped. "I don't want to see the Royal Sisters,they killed my father!" Her face was lit a bright shade of red from anger and her horn was surrounded by a faint white aura,this went unnoticed by the two ponies.

Ditzy: They aren’t very good at their jobs.

"As long as know,Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have harmed no stallion!" The guard shouted,his brow furrowed.

Doctor: What an odd thing to say.

Ditzy: (Guard) They would never hurt the fairer sex.

"I never met my father because of them and now they are going to pay for it!" Her horn now shone a blinding white aura.

Trixie: (Ivy) Because of them, I’m an angsty teenager with daddy issues!

The aura flowed freely and covered her body until her mane and tail were whipping wildly next to her.

Ditzy: She became Super Saiyan Poison Ivy!

The guard just stood there,his mouth agape in shock. He finally snapped out of his trance and broke into a gallop to the throne room.

Ditzy: Useless, as usual.

Doctor: You’re really mean to them.

Ditzy: As I should be! It’s their job to protect everypony! They should be the one saving the day, not us!

Where he finally got to the throne room he swung the doors open to reveal Princess Celestia and Princess Luna having a casual conversation.

Doctor: (Celestia) I’ve always found that prunes are the best way to treat constipation. I would suggest drinking prune juice every morning, sister, then your problem should be gone.

"You're majesties!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. "I need help,apparently there is a fifth alicorn and she is out of control!"

Ditzy: (Celestia) Don’t look at me!

Doctor: (Celestia) Get Twilight Sparkle, let her handle this!

Celestia and Luna both lifted an eyebrow, "And where is this ''out of control alicorn''Flash Sentry?" Princess Luna asked.

"In the Canterlot Caves you're majesty."Flash answered.

Trixie: (Flash) It’s a massacre! I barely made it out alive!

Celestia and Luna looked at each other and nodded. "Stay here,we will deal with this ''fifth alicorn.'' Princess Celestia said.

Doctor: (Celestia) Fifth alicorn. It’s probably just a pegasus with a cone on her head.

"Yes M'am!" Flash saluted.

"Good,now come sister we must see this "fifth alicorn" and have a talk with it." Princess Luna said.

The sun princess nodded and ran to the Canterlot Caves,her sister behind.

Doctor: Why exactly are they meaning a new Alicorn in a dank cave? Seems a little rude.

Trixie: No blood ruining the finery if it comes to a fight.

The first thing the sisters heard when they entered the caves were growling noises and screams of pain,then they saw it.

Ditzy: Ivy was having some serious constipation issues. Gonna need like a gallon of prune juice.

The lilac alicorn sprawled in the floor,her mane a tangled mess and a faint white aura surrounded her horn.

Princess Celestia gasped and hurried next to the traumatized alicorn.

Doctor: (Ivy) I just… read Fifty Shades of.... Hay… how can tripe like this become so… popular?

"Calm down," Celestia comforted. "It will be alright."

Instantly,the faint glow on Ivy's horn disappeared and she looked up into Celestia's soft eyes.

"You..." Ivy gasped. "You killed my father!"

Doctor: (Ivy)  My name is Poison Ivy. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Celestia looked back at Luna;who just shrugged;and then back at Ivy.

Doctor: Huh, not even a little phased by that accusation?

"What ever are you talking about,dear?" Princess Celestia asked softly.

Trixie: (Celestia) Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

"You killed my father!" Ivy repeated. "I heard the stories back at home!"

Ditzy: (Celestia) That’s so cool! I want to hear them!

Doctor: (Luna) Storytime! Storytime!

Trixie: (Ivy) ...

Celestia cocked an eyebrow,"Who is your father?" she finally asked.

"King Sombra!" Ivy boomed. "And my mother is Queen of changelings,Queen Chrysalis!" Celestia and Luna both gasped.

Ditzy: (Celestia) That is the stupidest backstory for an OC I have ever heard!

"So you are the daughter of Queen Chrysalis?" Princess Luna asked with a frown in her lips.

"Yes and you are my father's slayer," Ivy boomed. "I demand to know why you banished him!"

Ditzy: I thought you said they killed him?

Princess Celestia nodded and explained. "Your father was a very bad pony. He enslaved thousands of crystal ponies and killed whoever tried to escape from his command."

Ivy picked herself up and sat in her haunches. She listened carefully to Celestia.

"Ten years ago,King Sombra tried to take over the Crystal Empire again but failed. My former student and her friends defeated him with the Elements of Harmony." She explained.

Ditzy: Uh, no. Spike used the crystal heart to kick his flank!

Doctor: That isn’t what happened either.

"So my dad was a bad pony,like my mom?" Ivy asked.

Trixie: (Ivy) I am going to triple angst about this latter.

"Sadly,yes." Princess Luna said,"But enough about Sombra,tell us about you." she pointed to Ivy. "You are clearly no ordinary pony."

Doctor: Forget about your dead father. How have you been?

"Yes I know." Ivy said. "I don't know how to control my powers.

Trixie: (Ivy) I keep transforming into potted plants by accident. It’s really embarrassing.

Back at the hive,everypony called me names and teased me because every time my powers got out of control,I pulverized somthing." Ivy fell face first to the floor,"I'm useless." she muttered.

Trixie: (Mocking) Oh, don’t you feel so sorry for me? Oh spare Trixie!

"You are not useless...umm...what's your name,dear?" Princess Celestia asked.

"Poison Ivy." She said,muffled by the floor.

Ditzy: (Celestia) Owen Navy? Odd name for a changeling.

"Well Poison Ivy,I will send my guards to escort you to Ponyville so my former student;Twilight Sparkle;can teach you to your powers.

Trixie: (Celestia) I’m sure you’ll make an excellent test subje—… er I mean student.

I'm sure you will be pleased with the results."

Ditzy: Or your money back guaranteed!

Explained Princess Celestia.

Doctor: (Celestia) And she’s a better target for your revenge!

Ivy got up from the floor and looked into Celestia's soft eyes once again.

Doctor: Those beautiful deep eyes.

"But where will I stay?" She asked.

Trixie: (Celestia) I’m sure there’s a cardboard box you can sleep in somewhere.

"You can stay at her castle,I'm sure she has an extra room you can borrow." Princess Celestia assured.

Ditzy: Yeah, seriously. She doesn’t even have guards.

Doctor: I thought you said guards are useless?

Ditzy: Y-yes, but they are still nice to have around.

"Follow me to the castle so we can get you cleaned up.

Ditzy: (Celestia) Seriously, have you even heard of deodorant?

Doctor: (Ivy) What? No! Of course not! Mother said that’s poisonous to changelings!

Ditzy: (Celestia) She would tell you that won’t she?

Then you can go to Ponyville." Princess Luna said.

"Okay," Ivy muttered. "Let's go."

Trixie: (Ivy) I am going to completely forgive you all for murder-banishing my father!

Celestia and Luna led Ivy to the castle,where they would get her ready for her trip to Ponyville.

Doctor: Made sure she was all packed, had all her toiletries, and brought a pillow for the train!

Luna took Ivy to her room and let her use her bathroom.

Trixie: What is she three years old?

"Here..." She said giving Ivy a lavender bottle and a pink one,"This one is for your mane and tail,and this one is for the rest of your body." first she pointed to the lavender one and then to the pink one.

Trixie: (Luna) Sucker! That had green dye in it! Hehe.

"Oh,and when you come out of the shower put this on." Luna said as she handed Ivy a black,long sleeved dress and a pair of gray boots.

Trixie: Yeah, that goes well together.

Doctor: Why does she even need the boots?

"And brush your mane and tail when your done." She handed her a brush.

Doctor: (Ivy) Yes, mom.

Ivy looked at Luna with a big smile,"Thank you so much." she said.

"Don't mention it." Luna replied with a wink,"Now go,Tia is waiting for you." she said before closing the door to the bathroom and leaving Ivy alone.

Trixie: Impressive. Poison Ivy can go the potty all by herself!

-----

A few minutes later,Ivy emerged from the bathroom as clean as ever.

Ditzy: That was quick. Those shampoos are awesome!

Trixie: The princess should start their own beauty product line.

Her mane and tail literally sparkled and the black dress looked stunning on her.

Doctor: So that explains the princess’s hair, they use special shampoo to get that effect.

"Wow," Luna gasped. "Ivy you look amazing!"

Trixie: (Luna) I’m an ugly garbage pony compared to you!

Ivy blushed,"Thank you Luna." she said.

Celestia stood besides Luna,her eyes twinkling in the light.

Ditzy: Space Ripper Stingy Eyes!

"Take this," She said as she handed Ivy a scroll with a wax seal. "Give it to the lavender alicorn."

Doctor: Sure thing, light fuchsiaish gray alicorn.

Ivy nodded and tucked it inside one of the dress's pockets.

"Thank you both for everything." She said as she hugged the Royal Sisters. "I'm going to miss you."

"Us too." Princess Celestia said,breaking the hug.

Doctor: (Celestia)(Sniff) We’ve only known each other for about an hour, but you already feel like a sister to me!

Celestia and Luna led Ivy to the guards and waved as they took off towards Ponyville. When they were out of sight range,Celestia took out a piece of parchment and a quill.

Then,she started scribbling.

Dear Twilight Sparkle…

Trixie: (Celestia) I have the perfect prank to pull on your new visitor. Do you still have that spider section in your castle?
