With Bubblegum finally back in Equestria, She sort of misses Central City. Even if she only had 3 true friends there, she misses them. Fire Hoof was glad to have her back and that made her happy. Seeing the main 6 again, her teacher, everyone! She especially couldn't wait to see Luna! She has so many lessons she has missed. But the problem is she would become a giantess if she did learn how to use her magic. That's what she was afraid of. Fire Hoof then looks at her tears and wipes them off her face.
"Bubblegum. I know your sad about leaving that place, but your here with me now."
"OK...."
Bubblegum started getting a headache and collapses.
"BUBBLEGUM!!! Hold on! I'll go get help!"
Fire Hoof quickly picks up Bubblegum and flies to Twilight. (Who doesn't know anything of what Celestia did.) He Makes it to Twilight castle just in time. She was about to go to sleep! Fire Hoof knocks on the door.
(Twilight's walking)
"I'm coming."
(She opens the door)
"Oh, Hi Fire Ho....."
Twilight looks at Bubblegum to see that she is in Fire Hoof's arms.
"Oh my Celestia! You got Bubblegum back! Is she sleeping?"
"NO! She collapsed out of nowhere so I took her to you!"
"Well come inside! I might know something that could help her!" Twilight says as she grabs Bubblegum with her magic and runs towards the library.
"I think this was.... No. Maybe it was.... No not that either."
As Twilight was throwing books left and right, Fire Hoof was so tired, he fell asleep! Of course he didn't mean to, he was too worn out. Twilight finally finds the book and goes over to Fire Hoof.
"Fire Hoof? Fire Hoof?..... FIRE HOOF!!!!!"
"HUH WHAT!"
"I found the book."
"OK. Now do the spell to wake her up."
"It's not that simple...." Twilight reads the book. "It says we need, Two Poison Joke plants...."
(Fire Hoof's Writing this down)
"....Three Dragon Tears, One Cat Claw, and....... OH MY CELESTIA!!!!!!"
"What?"
".....100 CRYSTAL BERRIES!!!!!"
"WHY IN THE NAME OF EQUESTRIA DO WE NEED 100 CRYSTAL BERRIES!?!?!?"
"Do you wanna save Bubblegum?"
(Fire Hoof nods yes)
"Then if the book says we need those, we need to get them."
"OK...."
Fire Hoof looks over at Bubblegum and notices that she's gotten as tall as Luna.
"Um Twi?...."
"I told you we need to get them."
"Bu...."
"No buts."
"No. Bubblegum is as tall as Luna!"
"Pfft. Only the HIGHEST level of alicorn can do tha...." Twilight looks. "OK.... Maybe she is..... WE NEED TO GET THESE THINGS BEFORE SHE WAKES UP!!!"
"YEAH!! But, with us yelling, she would probably wake up."
"Good point.... So I will go to get the two poison joke plants and the three dragon tears. You can go and get the cat claw."
"But who will get the 100 crystal berries?"
"Do you wanna save your girlfriend?"
"Yes."
"Then you can go get them. After I am done getting my stuff, I will come to help you."
"OK. But, would Bubblegum have to come with us?"
"I think so. I will take her with me. Let's go and get the things."
"OK."
Twilight used her magic to carry Bubblegum with her to the everfree forest to get the poison joke plants while Fire Hoof was out getting the cat claw. He may not know how to get one though, but if he wanted to save Bubblegum, he had to try.
Twilight walks into the everfree forest looking for the poison joke plants.
"Oh come on. They have to be here somewhere." Twilight looks down and sees all the poison joke plants. "Yes! Now, I just have to figure out how to carry the two of them...." She looks up at her horn. "Oh, Right." Twilight picks up two poison joke plants and heads to the dragon kingdom to find a dragon tear.
(meanwhile with Fire Hoof...)
"Geez. How am I supposed to get a cat claw?..." Fire hoof looks at a pet store. "Perfect..."
Fire Hoof walks in.
"Why hello there." Says the old pet store keeper. "I, PET, your here for the grooming?"
"Why um, yes. I am. I only do..." He then looks at a cat's paws. "...I only trim cat's claws."
"OK. But make sure not to hurt them."
(Fire hoof nods yes) Fire hoof goes over to the cat with hoof clippers and picks the cat up.
"I'm so sorry if I hurt you..." He whispers to the tabby cat. "Here goes nothing..."
Fire Hoof begins to clip the cat's claws and nothing happened. The cat was perfectly safe.
"Oh thank goodness. Now I can go to the Crystal Empire."
Fire Hoof then looks at the shop keeper. "Um, have a nice day. Bye."
He then left the building with the pet store owner very confused...
(Meanwhile with Twilight...)
Twilight had to dress like a stone again to find three dragon tears. It was very rough, but she made it through.
"Phew. That was close, Bubbles!"
Bubblegum is still asleep.
"I'm so sorry you have to deal with all of this from Shadow... If he never came, none of this would've happened. Your first visit to Ponyville has gone terribly wrong... I'm sorry."
Bubblegum begins to float as her eyes turn white. Her hooves begin to turn black and the blackness spreads across her body as her hair starts to turn white and flowing. And her body started to grow even taller than Celestia!
"What the hay is happening?!?!"
Twilight steps back as Bubblegum's body begins to stop floating with her hair white and flowing, her eyes white, and her body black. Her cutie mark was suddenly 10 bubblegum bubbles instead of three.
(deep voice) "What happened? I feel different..." Bubblegum looks down to see a tiny Twilight outside of a dragons nest. "Since when did you shrink?"
With Twilight's eyes widened in surprise, she had no words. All she could say was, "Bu- wha- can-?" She couldn't say a word unless it's half of one.
"OK "Tiny Twi", tell me what happened IN YOUR REAL WORDS."
(clears throat) "ME AND FIRE HOOF WERE TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING TO CURE YOU THEN YOU STARTED TO GROW AND WE NEEDED TO FIND SOMETHING TO HELP YOU STOP GROWING AND I FOUND SOMETHING IN MY LIBRARY AND WE READ IT AND IT SAID WE NEEDED SOME INGREDIENTS THAT WE THOUGHT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO GET UNTIL I MADE A SUGGESTION THAT WE SHOULD SPLIT UP TO GET THE INGREDIENTS!" Twilight said as she takes a deep breath from talking so fast.
"WHAT?! YOU LEFT FIRE HOOF, ALONE?!"
(gulps) "Yes?...."
"THAT STALLION COULDN'T LAST A DAY ALONE!... Come on."
"Wait, where are we going?"
"To get Fire Hoof the company he needs."
"But, he won't recognize you."
"Well, I'll make him. Now come on!"
"OK..."
Twilight followed nine-foot tall, black, flowing hair, white eye'd Bubblegum as she tried going the way they came, but didn't know.
"So um, where are we supposed to go?"
"Ugh, I'll lead the way."
Twilight then began to lead the way towards the two places Fire hoof would be, either already getting the crystal berries, or still getting the cat claw.
(meanwhile with Fire Hoof...)
Fire Hoof walked happily with the cat claw in his hooves ready to go and get the 100 crystal berries. But as soon as he got to the other side of the sidewalk, a pony stepped in front of him.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" The pony said as he looked down at Fire Hoof's hooves.
"Um, a cat claw?... Why?"
"It interests me you hobo! Now hand it over!"
"No! It's for my love... Princess Bubblegum."
"Wait, your in love with a princess?"
"Yeah. She has the most beautiful neon blue hair with the most gorgeous blue eyes. And to top it all off, a beautiful hot pink coat..."
"Meh. Doesn't sound that pretty to me... Now hand over that claw!"
"Why?!"
"Because I want it!"
"Hmmm... Pretty good logic there... Hey, wanna know what I was thinking?"
"What?"
"I will give this to you."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Here, want it?" Fire Hoof puts it in front of him.
"Yes. Yes I do."
"Well ya wanna what I have to say about that?..." Fire Hoof then flies away from the earth pony trying to take his claw.
"COME BACK HERE WITH MY CLAW!!!!" The pony shouted.
"Ha. Sucker..." Fire Hoof continued to fly away and head to the crystal empire to get the berries.
(meanwhile with Twilight and Bubblegum...)
Bubblegum and Twilight made it to the pet store, but didn't see Fire Hoof.
"Hmm..." Twilight thinks for a second. "Maybe he already left to the Crystal Empire..."
"Maybe. But, I'm now hearing what your saying."
"About what?"
"About Fire Hoof seeing me like this. I don't know what he would think..."
Bubblegum then turns back to normal but is still tall.
"Bubblegum!"
"What?"
"Your back to normal! I guess it was just temporary!"
"YAY!..." Bubblegum looks down to figure out she is still tall. "Oh. I guess I'm still tall though."
"Yeah but at least he won't see you like that ever again!" Twilight just thought about Shadow. "Wait a second... What if Shadow turned you into that!"
"Yeah! That makes perfect sense!"
As soon as Bubblegum got done saying that, a bright light started to flash above her.
"Um Twi?"
"I mean, he could've either put a spell on you or..."
"TWILIGHT!"
"...Oh sorry. You were saying?"
As Bubblegum took in a deep breath, about to talk, a tan pony with brown hair, and two other ponies that were tan with one with black, straight, short hair, and the other with strawberry blonde red hair fell out of this light. And they all three fell on Bubblegum.
"Ow!..."
One of the tan ponies got up. "I'm so sorry... Wait a moment... Bubblegum!?"
"How do you know my name? Hold on..." Bubblegum recognized this pony from a certain place. She remembered Cisco from The Flash dimension and put two and two together. "CISCO?!" Bubblegum said as she got up to hug him. "How did you get here?"
"Well..."
(1 day ago in The Flash dimension...)
"I'm starting to miss Bubblegum..." Cisco groaned.
"Cisco, it's been an hour since she left."
"I know..."
Caitlin remembers the past week.
"You were really attached to her, huh?"
"Yeah. She the only perso- I mean pony that really understood me. Even if we didn't talk that much."
Caitlin had an idea. "Remember that time Barry went to earth 2 when you created that potal?!"
"Yeah. Why?"
"What if you can create a portal to this, "Equestria", and find her?!"
"You know what, your right. If I can create a portal to earth 2, I can surly make a portal to Equestria!"
"Let's do this!" Caitlin said as she handed Cisco his glasses.
"Wait, should we tell Barry?"
"Yeah your right. We should... Or... We can call him and he'll be here in a second."
(Caitlin calls Barry.)
Barry picks up his phone. "Hello?"
"Hey Barry, me and Cisco are gonna go to Equestria. Wanna come?"
"No tha- wait, isn't that where Bubblegum is?"
"Yeah. Cisco's gonna see if he can make a portal to her dimension since technically earth 2 is a dimension, we both think he can do it."
"OK. I will come but, if I'm a little horse, I will be so upset. So when are you guys gonna start up the portal?"
"Well, we're gonna try it right now. Just for a tester."
"OK. But when you guys get it, call me, k?"
"OK. Bye." Caitlin hangs up.
"Bye."
Cisco looks at Caitlin like he's about to burst out laughing.
"What?"
Cisco then starts to laugh his head off (metaphor). "I quote from Barry, OK. I will come but, if I'm a little horse, I will be so upset." Cisco starts to laugh more.
"How is that funny?"
"It's not funny to you?"
"No. It just sounded a bit weird."
"EXACTLY!" Cisco wipes his tears from his eyes...
(Meanwhile in Equestria...)
"...And so after that, me and Caitlin started to work on the portal and called Barry when we were done. And here we are now."
Barry looks at himself and then nudges Caitlin.
"Ow what was that for?"
"I'm a tiny horse..."
"Why would you blame it on me? I didn't turn you into one."
"Because you were the one on the phone with me. Just like if Cisco was on the phone with me, I would've nudged him."
"It makes sense, just, how about you don't nudge anyone. OK?"
"OK..."
Cisco takes a better look at Bubblegum and sees that she is now nine ft tall. "Um Bubbles?"
"Yeah Cisco?"
"Why are you so tall? Wait, is this Shadow's work?"
"Yeah. He also, a couple minutes ago, made me into a black mare with white eyes and white flowing hair."
"Wow. That must suck. Is there anything we can do to help?"
Twilight buts in. "Well, me, Bubblegum, and Fire Hoof are looking for something to help her. It's in my book."
Cisco looks at the cover. "Wait, there's books about this kind of stuff in Equestria?"
"Yep. I have a whole library about them. If ya wanna look?"
"Um no thanks. I will just go with Bubblegum to help Fire Hife."
"Hoof."
"Fire Hoof. Sorry."
"It's OK. he gets name mix-ups all the time.... Sometimes."
"Oh, well let's go help Bubblegum's brother!"
"Um, he's Bubblegum's colt-friend."
"Is that another word for boyfriend here in Equestria?"
"Yup :)."
"Oh, OK."
Bubblegum butted in. "Well, let's go and help Fire Hoof now. We won't want to keep him waiting."
"OK."
So all five of them went to the Crystal Empire to help Fire Hoof collect all the berries.
(Meanwhile with Fire Hoof...)
"Almost got 50 berries! (sighs) Now, just 50 more..."
As Fire Hoof continues to collect the berries, Twilight, giant Bubblegum, Cisco, Caitlin, and Barry all come running up to him.
"Fire Hoof!" Bubblegum says as she runs towards him.
"Bubblegu-... WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!? WHY ARE YOU SO TALL?!"
"Wow... What every girl LIVES to hear... Shadow did this to me!"
"That son of a gun! Sorry about the rude hello."
"It's OK. If I were you, I'd say the same thing. Anyways, we're gonna help you with the berries. How many do you lack?"
"50."
"OK. With Barry, Caitlin, and Cisco here with Twilight to help you, we can get this done in a sinch!"
"Well, Bubblegum?"
"Yes?"
"After whats happened over the past few days, I kind of don't want you to help..."
"WHAT?! WHY?!"
"Because I'm afraid you'll get hurt."
"By picking berries? Really?"
"I jus-... I just don't want you to help OK? Now sit by that bush. And the rest of us, since I lack only 50, we'll collect 10 a piece. NOW GO!"
As the others begin to collect the rest of the berries, Bubblegum's upset because she feels like nobody trusts her to do anything.
"(sighs) Why won't they let me help?..." Bubblegum begins to grow half the size of a tree. "No no no no no no no! Stop it! I don't want the others to find out!"
As soon as she said that, Her shadow cast over the others. They soon look at Bubblegum with surprise and shock.
"Hehe.... Hi..."
