Bubblegum finds herself landing in a cave on the side of the Canterlot mountain. She finds some wood piled up at the side of the cave and a little wool blanket at the other end.

"Does somepon-... I mean does someBODY live here?"

She walks around to find a note next to the blanket. It read:

"The final poll... Celestia has 5 billion ponies, Luna has 3 billion, Cadance with 4 billion, and that leaves Twilight with 6 billion... It seems like there is more ponies who like Twilight than the older princesses. But there is a new one ponies are talking about... A hot pink one with the flow of a very pale neon blue who attended the gala last month. They called her 'highness' a couple weeks ago secretly. Though, she doesn't know about it yet. But it will soon spread by that so called 'Derpy Hooves.'"

"Wait, whoever this is must know about me..."

"HEY! Put that down!" Said a mysterious voice from behind.

Bubblegum dare not to lift a hoof or move an inch.

"Who's th-there?"

"Why are you saying 'who's there?' Your the one in MY cave!"

"S-sorry! I'll leave!"

Soon enough, the mysterious pony got a closer look at her and saw the new princess and recognized her.

"Bubblegum?"

"How do you know me?!"

(The pony did not answer)

"I said... HOW DO YOU KNOW ME!?"

She turned around to see a red figure looking like it had snake eyes the color of jade. It had red wings that looked similar to those of a dragon. The rest of the body was red also. It had grey and lagoon-ish coloerd mane and tail. But it didn't take long for her to realize it was a male.

"Be-Beastman?" She said a little faintly. "I-I thought you had died?"

"Well, I did. Sort of... But, after the car wreck, I found myself... Changing. My hands and feet had changed into hooves as my face became more equine shaped. Then, after that, I grew a tail, got a thing called a 'cutie mark', and my body got more shorter in size. It was really weird... But I'm happy to see you again."

Bubblegum than ran up to him and hugged him; crying on his shoulder.
They had a little momment until they suddenly fell asleep in each others arms. They weren't dating... They were far, far relatives. Sort of like cousins, but more closer than any one could've imagined.

Everyone woke up at the hospital. Cisco reached for his NEW cup of water since the other one fell off the night stand when he reached for it. He took a sip as Barry was already cooking breakfast for the 6 of them since Bubblegum wasn't there. He got it done in about a minute... He had baked 3 plates of scrambled eggs, 2 plates of sausage, and 4 plates of french toast.

"Alright, everyone get up. Breakfasts ready!"

Everyone got up with groans except Caitlin. She needed to get up anyways because of Cisco to see if he was alright. They all went to go and eat breakfast to find that it was now harder to eat with hooves.

"I can't eat with hard, round-ish shaped hooves! It's too hard to pick up a fork or a spoon to even do anything!" Said Harry, as he knocks his plate off onto the floor.

"You know you can eat with your mouth. Like, stick your face into the food, right?" Says Barry, as he runs over to catch the plate before it shattered all over the floor. "You'd better be glad I was here to catch your food, or you would've had to clean it up."

"Look, I'm sorry about that... BUT WHEN I CAN'T EAT WITH HUMAN UTENSILS, IT MAKES IT HARDER!"

"WELL, MAYBE THAT'S BECAUSE WE AREN'T HUMAN RIGHT NOW SO STOP COMPLAINING! Geez..."

Harry looked embarrassed after being yelled at by a 20 (something) year old... Though he had no right to complain.

Bubblegum ended up sleeping on the cold, rock floor while Beastman took the bed. Sure it may seem "unfair" but since Bubblegum had a soft and warm coat now that she was a pony, she needed some coldness (don't know if that's a real word but I'll go with it) every now and then.

(Beastman woke up)

"*yawn* Good morning Bubblegum.... Bubblegum?"

Beastman checked to see if she was still there. She was, but sound asleep.

"Well, it's still a good morning, I guess. I'll fix some breakfast after I go and find the ingrediants."

Beastman flew out of the cave while Bubblegum was snoring (not loud though). But as soon as he left, two strange shadowy figures came creeping upon the cave. Heading directly for Bubblegum!

"Finally, we've found her! Good for the tune, right Tavi?"

"I told you to stop calling me that and yes, we found her. Now shhh! We don't want to wake her up. We need her asleep to take her back to the house!"

"But what happens if she wakes up along the way?"

"Use the sleep spell!"

"Right! Will do..."

"Come on!"

Both of them picked her up as they flew off towards Ponyville.

"Alright Bubblegum, I've got the ingrediants now I can get to cooki-.... WHERE DID SHE GO!?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bubblegum wakes up in a fimiliar place with CD's, records, and.... A wub machine? Anyways, she finds herself on a couch with two fimiliar faces looking at her.

"She's waking up Tavi!"

Bubblegum opens her eyes to find a brown-ish pony with a dark grey mane looking at her and yelling:

"CHANGE US BACK YOU NIMWIT! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'VE DONE?!?!?!?"

Then, she remembered something... OMG, THESE WERE THE PONIES THAT FIRST LET HER IN TO LIVE WITH THEM (well, at least one did)!

"DJ-PON 3?!" She yelled in surprise as she get's up from the couch. "I totally forgot about how I turned you into alicorns!"

"Yeah," Says Octavia, as she flies into the air. "and we're wanting to be changed back."

"Oh c'mon Tavi!" DJ said. "Being an alicorn is fun! Maybe just one more week and-" But she was cut off by:

"NO MORE WAITING! I'VE BEEN LIKE THIS FOR TWO MONTHS! NOW CHANGE US BACK YOU TWERP! OR I'LL CALL PRINCESS CELESTIA!"

"FINE! I can try! But my magic was out of control at that momment, so it might be hard to reverse the spell."

Bubblegum's horn glew a dark blue as the magic wrapped around them; making it feel a bit tingly. It lasted for about five minutes until the spell was complete. They were turned back to normal. Octavia was an earth pony while DJ was a unicorn.

"Now, you can leave." Octavia said, opening the door.

"OCTAVIA!" Interrupted DJ-Pon 3. "Don't you think she deserves to stay after changing us back?"

"She's the one that changed us in the first place! So no! I don't think she deserves to stay!"

"WELL I DO!"

Bubblegum rolled her eyes as they hear a knock at the door after DJ had shut the door.
DJ oppened the door to find a red pony standing there.

"YOU KIDNAPPERS!"
