"TWILIGHT!" the Crusaders shouted as they got close to the library, interrupting Spike's nap. The angry dragon got up out of his bed and lazily made his way to the door. When he opened it up he was trampled by the three frantic fillies. He tried to get out from under them, but every attempt ended with a hoof in his face. After the Crusaders had stopped running into the library Spike got up shakily, being knocked silly by their hooves.

"Welcome to Ponyville Library" Spike said shakily as he wobbled towards the door in an attempt to shut it. He missed the door and slipped, ending up on his face outside the door. A few ponies that were walking by giggled when they saw him, getting the Crusader's attention.

"Oh, sorry Spike!" Applebloom said quickly as she ran over to help Spike to his feet. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo giggled to themselves as Spike hung his arm over Applebloom for support. As she helped Spike up to his bed Twilight came into the main room, looking around in confusion, being followed by the rest of the Elements, including Pinkie.

"Hi girls, what are you doing here?" Twilight asked as she looked for Applebloom, seeing her carrying Spike up the stairs. Applejack quickly walked past Twilight to help Applebloom with Spike. When Applejack got next to Applebloom she gasped, steeping back and nearly falling to the ground.

"What is it Applejack?" Twilight asked as she moved to steady Applejack. When Applejack didn't say anything she looked at Applebloom, seeing what had scared Applejack.

"Why do you have a horn?!" Twilight shouted, looking at Applebloom in surprise.

"Why does Sweetie have wings?!" Rarity cried, holding up Sweetie Belle with her magic, showing her new wings to Twilight, making her twitch. Twilight went through every possible scenario that could have ended with them switches races, but, nothing made any sense. She continued to think until Scootaloo coughed, bringing attention to her.

"Are you an Earth pony now?" Rainbow asked, looking at Scootaloo's side, receiving an annoyed look from Scootaloo. Rainbow grinned nervously while turning to look at Twilight, along with everypony else. Twilight looked around nervously, still trying to figure out what had happened, but this time Applebloom coughing broke the silence.

"We can kinda explain that..." Applebloom said as she made her way to the edge of the stairs. Everypony below took a seat, looking up at Applebloom as if she was Princess Celestia herself. She quickly cleared her throat before using her new found magic to create an image of what had happened. At first it looked like a crudely drawn picture, but very quickly after it looked almost lifelike, causing Twilight to raise a hoof.

"How did you get so good at doing that already?" Twilight asked, getting looked at by Applebloom.

"What do you mean?" Applebloom asked, seemingly oblivious to the magic she was using.

"She's talking about this" Sweetie Belle said, poking her hoof into the image Applebloom was creating, hovering beside it with her new wings. Applebloom and everypony else gasped as Sweetie Belle realized what she was doing. Sweetie Belle quickly fell to the ground, landing with a hard thump. Rarity quickly jumped up to see if she was okay, but Sweetie Belle pushed here away.

"I'm fine, don't worry" Sweetie Bllle said as she got up, grimacing slightly as she felt a pain in her flank. She quickly walked back to where she had been sitting before as Applebloom went back to explaining what had happened. When she got to the end of the story, where they had their races switched she let off a flash from her horn, momentarily blinding everypony.

"So you have no idea what happened?" Rainbow asked while scratching her head in confusion.

"If they knew, wouldn't they have already fixed it?" Rarity said, shooting Rainbow an annoyed look. The Crusaders shook their heads before looking to Twilight, who was now running around the library in an attempt to find a book that would tell her what kind of magic had done this to them. After thirty minutes of waiting Twilight came back, looking at them sadly.

"I can't find anything on this kind of spell" Twilight said as she looked at the three mismatched fillies. The Crusaders looked at Twilight with horror, but then Fluttershy finally spoke up.

"Wouldn't Celestia know something about this?" Fluttershy said quietly, getting everypony's attention, making her shy away. Twilight quickly ran up the stairs to get Spike so she could send a letter to the princess. After some annoyed grunts from Spike he was on his way downstairs, taking a seat next to Applebloom. As Twilight looked for a letter Spike slumped over, leaning on Applebloom, making the other Crusaders giggle.

"Spike and Applebloom sitting in a tree-" the Crusaders started to chant before realizing that they actually were sitting in a tree. They looked at each other, stumped as to what other chant they could use to embarrass Applebloom. Applebloom rolled her eyes before turning back to Spike, shaking him awake as Twilight came down the stairs.

"Spike, take a letter" Twilight ordered, handing the paper and pen to Spike, but he pushed them away with a grunt. Applebloom sighed as she took the things from Twilight, proceeding to write the letter for Spike. She looked at Twilight expectantly, but Twilight just smiled back.

"Why don't you write the letter?" Twilight suggested, surprising everypony. They all watched in awe as Applebloom flawlessly wrote down what had happened, her writing skills matching Twilight's. She quickly wrapped up the letter, patting Spike on the back to make him burp. As he did she put the letter in the way, sending it to Celestia.

"Quick thinkin' there Applebloom" Applejack said happily, finding it funny that Applebloom had managed to do all that so soon after getting her horn. Sweetie Belle quickly flew over Applebloom's shoulder while Scootaloo walked over sadly.

"What'd you write down anyways?" Scootaloo asked, followed by a nod from Sweetie Belle. Applebloom just grinned at them, standing up as she walked towards the door.

"You'll find out eventually, right Twilight?" Applebloom asked cheerfully, opening the door with her magic. Twilight nodded back smiling as well. Sweetie Belle quickly flew out the door past Applebloom, but Applebloom pulled her back to the ground. Despite their fear at first, both Applebloom and Sweetie Belle had started to like their new found abilities. Although they liked their new lives, Scootaloo hated it. This was just one more confirmation that she would never fly. As Applebloom and Sweetie Belle cheerfully ran up ahead, Scootaloo slowly trailed behind, staring at the ground the entire time.
