Gummy woke up late as always, he knew that Pinkie would be out having fun as usual. Cup and Carrot had taken Pound and Pumpkin in for a checkup so he had the shop all to himself. He started with his usual breakfast which Pinkie always left him, candy corn. he gnawed at the pieces, at times some lodged in his gums and he pretended he had teeth. This always made him laugh. Normally he would smell candy and cakes but, today he smelled something different. He walked into the dining room and looked under all the tables. Under one in the corner he found something he'd seen several times before, Granny Smith's Dentures. He was excited that today would be the day he would finally feel what teeth felt like. He picked them up in his mouth and felt so happy, he smiled. His reflection in the shiny floor scared him. What is that? The gator thought to himself. Do I really look that scary with teeth? Oh well when Pinkie gets back she'll just take these to Applejack. He thought. Gummy walked around with nothing to do.
He thought he'd tune in to the radio and listen to some music and DJ P0n=3's show. He found the radio In Pinkie's bedroom, turned it on, and sat down to listen "What's up Ponyville, we got sumthin' serious goin' down outside, we got ourselves about seventeen crazy ponies tearin this place up, stay indoors dudes this is the storm of dah century." Crazy ponies? Gummy thought to himself. Then he heard something outside. He climbed his way onto a booth table and to his amazement, the DJ was right Seventeen Pinkies were running through the streets. She must've used the mirror pool. Gummy knew exactly what to do.
He must get the book to Twilight, but how? He grabbed Pinkie's bottomless saddlebag and Granny Smith's dentures and climbed out the window. The Library was only a hundred yards away, but for a tiny Gator it was longer, especially when thirty ponies are in your way. But Gummy knew he must Prevail in this quest, and set off. He zigzagged between the angry ponies and found himself one step from the library, he scurried in and walked to the hidden shelf. He set Pinkie's bag in front of him and rummaged through it. After a minute of searching he found it and slipped it into the case. Just as Twilight shut the door Gummy climbed out the window undetected.
Something, felt off, Gummy knew that leaving the book wouldn't be enough. What could he do, then it hit him, the other stories in the book. Gummy had read the book hundreds of times, during Pinkie's parties, The legend of the fourth wall, and the Pinkie Space. Maybe just maybe, he could help by using this power. He recalled the ritual.
In your heart you must reach, and hear the voice for it will teach, the way between the worlds to find, for the pure of heart gentle and kind, to make the walls come crashing down, you must never ever wear a frown. He calmed himself and closed his eyes. "My dear Gummy, you have pleased my ear, you have a good reason I hear, to use this power for the good of ponykind, which in yourself you did find, you have my blessing to become the one to hold, the great power, and let your story unfold." Gummy felt something warm inside him, as he listened to Nana Pinkie's voice. He felt a smile cross his face as Granny Smith's dentures fell out. He felt bad for stealing them so he decided to return them, but how? He looked deep into the saddlebag and found a Fluttershy suit,
Why on Equestria would she have a Fluttershy suit? Is what any pony would ask but Gummy payed it no mind and put it on. Strangely it fit like a glove, considering it was ten times bigger than him. He knew not to question Pinkie's ways, and walked around getting used to the change in height and movement. He slowly made his way to Sweet Apple Acres, doing his best to not draw attention. No this won't work. He thought, as he ducked into an alley. Maybe, he rummaged through th bag again and found Pinkie's Mare Do Well costume and put it on over the Fluttershy suit. Now if anypony asks I'm Mare Do Well.
He decided to run to Sweet Apple Acres, his new longer legs made it easier to close long distances. He jumped onto a rooftop. Pinkie's things were weird but effective. Jumping from roof to roof he could see Applejack and Wynona herding the Pinkies into City Hall. He felt good, he was happy that Twilight found the book, but was still worried that Twilight would have a hard time finding the real one. No he had to trust Pinkie's friends, he had to trust Pinkie.
He was a hop, skip, and a jump away from his destination and found the remains of a barn, The Pinkies must've destroyed it. He landed on the roof of the farmhouse and slid down the shingles and onto the porch. He raised his 'hoof' and knocked on the door. "Hold on I'm coming," Gummy recognized Granny Smith's voice and took out the dentures. The door slowly opened and he held out the dentures to her. "Oh I've been looking for those, where'd you find them?"
"SugarCube Corner." Gummy spoke in a deep female voice, surprising himself not only that he could, but he sounded like a mare.
"Thank you kindly."
"No problem." Gummy ran back to Sugarcube Corner and climbed in the window as Pinkie fell asleep on the kitchen floor. and the others left. He found his new strength more than enough to carry her back to her room and tuck her into bed. Gummy was so tired he fell asleep still in the costume.
==============
For once Gummy woke up before Pinkie.and he decided to wake her up. "Pinkie." He whispered. "Pinkie wake up." Pinkie opened her groggy eyes, and shot up onto her headboard.
"M-M-M-Mare Do Well?"
"It's me, Gummy." He slipped off the mask showing the Fluttershy face, and his Purple eyes.
"How, and why do you sound like a mare?"
"Don't know, may be the suit."
"Probably, let's try a stallion suit," Pinkie opened a drawer and reached in pulling out a mauve body suit. "Try this on," Gummy reached for the zipper and pulled, it fell to the floor leaving him floating in the air. He grabbed the suit and put it on, and this one fit perfectly too. "How bout now?"
"Pretty good I guess." His voice was deep and manly, but not as deep as Big Macintosh's.
"We gotta show Twilight, and the others they'll be so surprised." Pinkie bounced out of bed and landed next to him. her goofy smile still on her face. "But you'll need a new name." She paced around him. "Chewy, no, Gumball, no, Ah ha. Take it off and put this one on." Pinkie took out a mint green one. and Gummy did as told. "Your new name is Spearmint."
"Like the gum?"
"Yep,"
"Cool."
"Let's go," Pinkie squeaked and they walked into the kitchen. Cup and Carrot were busy baking as usual. "Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Cake."
"Good morning Dear, who's your Stallion?"
"I'm Spearmint, nice to meet you,"
"You're good," Pinkie whispered in his new ear.
"I'm Cup, and this is Carrot,"
"Nice to meet you, Spearmint," Mr Cake held out a hoof, and Spearmint shook it. "Here, on the house." He lowered his head and held up a muffin pan, "One, for you, one for Pinkie, and one for the Mailmare." Spearmint took the banana nut muffin and swallowed it whole, and Pinkie did the same. Pinkie grabbed the muffin for Ditzy and they left.
"HI Pinkie!" The grey Pegasus shouted as she reached into her saddlebag. and pulled out some letters and put them in the mailbox. "I got something for you too." She pulled out a box, and hoofed it to Pinkie. "It's a new part for your new Party Cannon,"
"Thanks, I've been waiting for this for weeks."
"Sorry it's a little late, bye Pinkie," Ditzy flew off but stopped mid air and waved at Spearmint. "Bye Gummy," She shouted and flew off to deliver more mail.
"How did she?" Spearmint Gummy was confused. He turned his head to Pinkie.
