//------------------------------// // Ch.3 Twilight and Rainbow // Story: My Little Pony: Swapping is Magic // by orgo-member-XV //------------------------------// Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash were both walking through the town of Ponyville. Every shop was closed and some of them, the doors were wide open and it wasn’t because the town was abandoned or anything there were plenty of Ponies around but they were too busy freaking out by the fact that they weren’t in their right bodies. Some of the them were crying out in the open about losing their horns or wings and others were in pairs looking at each other like they were looking at a giant mirror and other’s mostly the ponies that got new wings or horns were either performing magic not meaning too so things were flying everywhere and ponies and various objects were being teleported everywhere. “Twilight…you really messed everypony up…”Rainbow dash ducked as a rouge rock came hurtling towards her and a reddish unicorn yelled sorry as she was running and jumping flying debris that was trying to catch her. “Well it wasn’t supposed to do this!”She looked at everypony and she felt guilty that she was the one who caused this. “But no more talking about it at the moment we have to find a way to fix this and I might have a way but we need to gather up every unicorn in Ponyville” Just then all the ponies stopped what they had been doing except the pony that was still dodging flying debris. “Look!” “It’s her!” They all looked worried and started to stampede toward the two other ponies. “Twilight!” “Help us!” “Please Help!” They all got closer running toward Twilight. “Wait girls Stop!”She waved her hoofs and ducked her head down waiting for when the other ponies knocked her down as the angry mob they were but she wasn’t trampled by the mob of ponies instead they ran around her and surrounded Rainbow Dash. “Change us back!” “Come on we have our stores to get back to!” “And some of us can’t even do our jobs!!” all the ponies were all talking at the same time so their voices were all running together and Rainbow dash couldn’t pay attention to any one pony. “No Fluttershy come back with her!”Some of them jumped back as Twilight swooped in and picked up rainbow dash and flew them over to her tree house/ Library. “Here we go…if they try to knock the door down we can go upstairs and lock ourselves up in my room stay here, and if they try getting in come upstairs with me” she slowly trotted up the stairs and onto the balcony so she could speak to the ponies that have gathered around her home. “Fluttershy we aren’t going to hurt her we just want her to change us back!”A sea green pony stood up and looked up at her. “I’m not Fluttershy and I know some of you know since you were there with the park with me and my friends but some of you don’t know but I’m Twilight Sparkle” All of the ponies that had gathered around Twilight’s Home were nodding her heads knowing that what she said was true cause almost half of them heard her speak before and the other half knew that the real Fluttershy wouldn’t be brave enough to even stand up there even without a group of people standing there watching. “I have an idea that’ll help everypony get back into the right bodies!”They all cheered. “But it’s going to take some time, I’m going to need some help with the spell that I must use to change everyone back”, she looked at all the ponies that had a worried looks on their faces. “Since none of you are in the right body, which means that you now either have a new horn or new wings or nothing at all am I right?” Most of the unicorns that had gathered look a bit uncomfortable and the pegisai felt the same way. Twilight nodded her head confirming her hypothesis. “Well I am very sorry for your uncomfortable feelings but I am going to need everypony with a horn to gather up in front of my door” all of the ponies looked at each other. “How’s that going to help?” Another pony a pink one this time came forward. “It will help, trust me once every unicorn in Ponyville shows up I’ll explain in more detail alright” She watched them all nod and they all spread out and in search of other ponies with horns. As soon as everypony was gone in search of the unicorns Twilight walked back into her home and then into the library to see that Rainbow was focused on floating a book around the room. “Rainbow!” “What? Ow!” She lost her focus on the book and the magic keeping it afloat stopped and gravity took over causing it to hit her on the head. “What was that for Twilight?” Rainbow asked. “I almost had it” She looked a little bit disappointed. “Well I’m sorry it’s just I wasn’t expecting you to be floating a book around that’s all” Twilight had that scientific look that she wanted to study something. “Why not Twilight?”Rainbow asked as she walked over to the book and placed it back on the table that she found it on. “You’ve never done magic before and levitating item’s especially something as heavy as a book is extremely difficult” Twilight turned her head away so that Rainbow couldn’t see the look of jealousness that had formed on it. “I don’t know…it felt like I just wanted to do that’s all” Rainbow said sitting in front of her staring out the window where groups of unicorns were gathering. “Now what’s that plan you have that’s going to fix everyone Twilight?” She crossed her hooves. “All we have to do is re-cast the spell and with the other unicorn’s magic to strengthen it so that it spreads across Ponyville it will change everyone back to the way they were” she was checking the window’s outside and the way she said it sounded like it was a walk in the park and that it would be the easiest thing in the world to do. “That’s great!”She jumped up. “So you re-cast the spell and then everything goes back to the way it was” she was very happy and she started to walk past Twilight but she held out a hoof to stop her. “Where are you going Rainbow?” Twilight asked. “You don’t need me for this so I was going to go and take a nap on a tree so that I’ll get caught in the spell and not have to be stuck as an egghead no offense” “None taken, but Rainbow I don’t have a horn anymore because you have it now that means you’re going to be the one to perform the spell that’ll turn everyone back to normal so I need to teach you how to perform the spell!”She sounded exasperated and her wings were starting to flutter by themselves like she was some kind of humming bird. “Twilight calm down!”She lifted a hoof and patted her back eyeing her wings. “You don’t need to ruffle your feathers” she seemed a little jealous as well wondering how she was getting her wings to flutter that fast. Twilight had calmed down but was sulking. “Sorry…I just feel so different without my horn…” she looked up and poked her forehead where her horn should be but all she felt was silky pink mane.”Anyway don’t worry all we need is the spell book that the spell is written in and then you’ll be learning it in no time!”She stood up and walked to the center of her library and quickly tapped on a secret button under the table. A section of the floor surrounding the table sunk into the floor in sections creating a flight of spiraling stairs leading into the basement of the library. Twilight let go of the secret button and turned around to face Rainbow who was staring at the floor with mouth agape. “Th-that was…so cool!”Her eyes were wide and she still had her mouth open. “That was just like…”But she finally closed her mouth and looked away embarrassed. “N-never mind…ill just wait up here for you” Twilight nodded knowing exactly what Rainbow was thinking. “You have to follow me Rainbow I don’t know if I’ll be able to open the door without you since I’m no longer magic?”She shrugged. “You never know” she turned around and started to trot down the stairs into the basement. “Follow me Rainbow we don’t have much time till all the unicorns gather outside waiting for me to explain the plan to fix everyone” Rainbow followed after her and the stairs closed up behind them making the library exactly the way it was before.
