Twilight woke up to the smell of fresh apples coming from downstairs. She went down and found Spike holding a smoking pie with a beaming smile.

“Good morning, Twilight! Pie?”

Twilight smelled the treat, her wings happily flapping at the sweet aroma, but then she backed down. “Wait, you made this? You actually got up off the bed before me?”

“Hey!” Spike complained, not liking the teasing so early on the morning. “Anyways, I didn't do it. I found it at the door.”

“I guess that´s the only thing that can make you got up early,” Twilight joked and then noticed a note attached to the pie. “Thank you for all your hard work, AJ,” she read out loud. “How thoughtful of her. We should really the favor. What do you say we go to Sugarcube Corner for some cupcakes?”

Spike approved with his mouth full of his side of the pie and followed Twilight outside. When they reached the bakery however, they didn´t found the pink prankster but her partner in crime.

“Rainbow Dash?”

“Hey guys!” Rainbow casually said while playing with Pumpkin Cake.

“What are you doing here?”

“Watching the babies while the Cakes finish a few orders. Hey Pound, get down here!”

“And where´s Pinkie?” Twilight asked.

“She had some errands to do so I'm giving her a helping hoof,” Rainbow answered.

“How..nice of you.”

Rainbow smiled and hovered to retrieve the mischievous pegasus foal. Twilight and Spike buy a dozens of cupcakes and headed to Sweet Apple Acres but instead of finding Applejack tending the farm, they ran into the least pony they could imagine getting her hooves dirty.

“Rarity? What are you wearing?” Twilight asked, referring to the unicorn´s flower decorated galoshes and overall.

“Oh, I made some changes to some old work clothes from my mother. What do you think? Rarity said with her usual pride for her work.

“I think you look lovely,” the love struck dragon said.

“You look nice, Rarity. But, what are you doing in here?”

“Just offering a little assistance. While Applejack is busy at the kitchen, I'm helping her brother clean the barn. Of course, I don't want to get dirty,” Rarity explained and when Big Mac peeked,s he returned inside carrying some empty buckets with her magic.

Twilight was a little confused but before she could express her doubts, she felt Spike poking at her wing. She turned around and saw what was worrying her little assistant.

“Oh hi Twilight. And Spike,” Fluttershy said, approaching with the Crusaders as escorts.

“Fluttershy, you're helping Applejack too?”  

“We're going to see Zecora!” Apple Bloom rushed in.

“To get our Cutie Marks as hunters!” Scootaloo added.

“Or herbalist!” Sweetie finished.

“Don´t made up words, Sweetie! Nopony will take us seriously!” Scootaloo berated her.

“Is not a made-up word, dummy!” Sweetie replied and pushed her friend over Apple Bloom, who pushed back.

“I heard they were going to the forest and didn't feel comfortable letting three little fillies go there alone,” Flutterhsy explained while the fillies fighted behdin her.

“Woah. That´s...very brave of you, Fluttershy,” Twilight said.

“Just trying to help. Oh, could you please escort Angel back to my cottage? I don't want him in that awful place, “ Fluttershy said and the little bunny popped from inside her mane. When he say Spike he showed his tongue earning an equal response from the dragon.

“Sure. We'll take care of him,” Twilight said while Spike crossed his arms in protest.

They headed to eh cottage, Twilight looking behind her shoulder as Fluttershy lead the Crusader, or better said, was lead by them; into the Everfree. Twilight wasn't even surprised when they reached the cottage and found Pinkie Pie feeding the animals.

“Okay, this is weird,” Spike said while Angel rushed to get some food and Pinkie waved at them. “Pinkie Pie, what are you doing here?”

“Well, Spikey-dummy, I´m feeding these nice little fellows. Who wants more carrots?” Pinkie asked and the animals basically went into a full brawl for them.

“What is this? Live in the other pony horseshoes day? Twilight, did you exchange their Cutie Mark again?” Spike asked, frustrated by this whole scenario.

“No, silly! I just wanted to help Fluttershy a little, that´s all,” Pinkie giggled. “But Living in the other pony horseshoes day sounds super-duper-fun! Next month, we're celebrating it! We could do a lottery or a bingo to decide who gets to be who! What do you think Twilight?”

Spike shrugged at Pinkie´s rambling and missed Twilight wiping a tear. Twilight sat down next to Pinkie, smiling.

“That actually sounds like fun, Pinkie.”

“Well duh! Imagine if I get Mr. Breeze´s job! Or maybe the Mayor´s! Can you imagine that? Pinkie Pie, Mayor of Ponyville!”

“I shiver at that idea,” Spike murmured, getting a kick from Angel as response.

Twilight giggled and put the cupcakes box down.

“Uh, can I have some?” Pinkie asked and Twilight nodded.

She then let go a big sigh, finally relaxing. She had been confused the entire morning, thinking something was wrong with her friends but now, she realized they were the same. A little different from the day before but still the same.
