Sweetie Belle wonders what is running through Opal's mind when she attacks Rarity one morning. During Twilight Time she runs across a spell that allows animals to talk. She memorizes it and casts it on some of the pets. While she, her friends and the animals love it, the pets' owners aren't so thrilled over the results and demand that she cast a counter spell that she will have to write herself. Will it work or will she have everypony mad at her forever?

"PSSST Hay Spike? " Opal hissed" You want to find out how Rarity feels about you?"
Get me a fish and I'll spill the beans"
Opal got the fish and said to Spike Meow meow Hissssss
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo
Clawed up? (laughing)
You've heard of Brie Mode get a load of Opal Mode.
Talk to the paws!
Least Opal's about the fish.
Horseapples!
I smell a bust.
CMC better take cover.
Sweetie Belle took advantage of Twilight just as Rarity took advantage of Spike.
It's kind of sad that the pets are back to normal I mean most of the animals can talk.
5487846 I know some would have liked to have seen the animals continue to be able to talk but I wanted the CMC, especially Sweetie Belle to learn a valuable lesson in this story. Unlike a lot of my other stories, I wanted this one to be more like what you would see in an episode. I'm glad you liked it.
Redundant much redundant? Sorry, but it's just that doing something like this doesn't work out too well. You already explained how she's thinking, but you made her tell Twilight the same thing. It's like Sweetie's trying to tell both us and Twilight how she feels separately. It might be a good idea to try and just have Sweetie Belle sigh then only tell Twilight how she feels. That way it gives off the idea of her being frustrated without her stating it twice.
I'm guessing that the giddy one is gonna be pinkie....
5487806
Yes Sweetie took advantage, but Twilight is still being unreasonable. The animals like talking so let them.
This gets 3 mustaches
I'm such a big fan of powerful Sweetie Belle and am loving this story! I imagined the CMC looking down from the clubhouse just like this
Can't wait to finish reading!
This feels a lot like an episode, if I'd been writing it I wouldn't have been able to resist having them enchant the other animals too instead of writing a counter spell. Or better yet, have Twilight secretly cast the spell on Owlicious for Spike at the end.
5792962 I intended for this one to be more like an episode. I have written many stories that would never be episode material but this time I decided to mix things up. At first I was thinking of having Owliscious be allowed to continue speaking but that would take away from the CMC learning their lesson entirely. Too bad I couldn't submit this to Hasbro for an episode idea.
Why couldn't you copyright and submit?
5793162 How would I go about copyrighting the story and how much would it cost?
Sorry, I don't know, I forgot something important though. These are hasbros characters, so they could stop you from useibg a copyright and take the story if they wanted. You should do some more research before contacting them I think. I hope that this will become an episode though.
5864847 Yeah with those being their characters, the chances of me being able to copyright it would probably be slim. The main thing I would worry about would be that if Hasbro did take it would be that they would have one of their writers alter it a tiny bit and give me no credit. I just wish I could get this one to have more exposure on Fimfiction.
Stormluna, i spoke to my brother, it isn't possible to copyright this, but I have an alternative. You could copyright it with different names, present it to hasbro, and they would have to do so much editing to make stealing your story legal that it would be easier to just pay you, besides, if they treat you well maybe you'll come back with something new. If you don't want to change the names, you MIGHT be able to sue them on the grounds that this story has been here for x amount of time and that they stole it. Not sure about that last one though. Hope this helps. :)
5883972 Thanks for letting me know. I really appreciate the information.
Since I liked your story so much Luna, I have a suggestion for you. You should look at Yours Truly I think you might like it.
Lol!
Giddies! I hope they make Tank and Gummy talk!
Twilight's unreasonable. I don't think she's my 4th favorite anymore.
5492276 he/she never said that they liked it!
and i dont like it at all!
Well it's sad the animals don't have a say, but would been great to see Angel, Gummy and Tank talk.
6721795 I have had other people comment that they wish I would have had all of them talk but I only had three of them talk to make the pets' owners wonder why only three could talk. I had also planned on having the spell not work on Opal but then I decided against it. Why I honestly don't know. Had I written the story now I would have had everypony think it worked but let her continue to talk but the main end I wanted was for the girls, especially Sweetie Belle, to learn an important lesson in friendship. I think this is probably the only story I have wrote that mirrored what might happen in a real episode.

That animals don't have a right to be able to speak? What kind of message does that send?
What valuable lesson?
7196382 The lesson it teaches is that the CMC, just like in Twilight Time, should not take advantage of Princess Twilight. Sweetie Belle used a spell from one of Twilight's books to cause three of the animals to speak and the other two did not try to stop her. In the end Twilight made them fix the problem they created and learned an important friendship lesson. Had nopony had any problems with the animals speaking, no lesson would have been learned and the girls likely would have thought they could abuse their relationship with Twilight in other ways and get away with it. Besides, had I decided the animals have a "right" to speak, Sweetie Belle would have cast it on all six of them, not just the three.

I mean, the situation sort of portrays Twilight and the others rash and unreasonable just because the animals could talk.
Still, you couldn't have picked a spell that didn't carry such moral implications?
This. Is NOT. Going. To end well. For the CMC.
Three down...three to go.
Bet you I know who that one is.
to be the furious ones.
Most likely the startled ones.
Leaving

It's not so much Twilight being unreasonable, it's her wanting to restore what is natural. Animals aren't supposed to talk and she wants it back that way. Personally, I think Sweetie should want that counterspell and fast. If word gets out about Sweetie being able to make animals talk, everypony is going to want Sweetie to do that to their pets. We know how she feels about crowds.
I'm surprised Owloiscious (however you spell it) and Winona weren't more sad than they were. I'm surprised Sweetie got off with only losing a piece of her mane.
7211014 I honestly didn't even think about Owlowicious and Winona being more sad than they were and of course anger was Opal's natural reaction. I would have had her do more but I wanted to keep this one rated E so that it would be the one story I wrote that would resemble what would happen in an episode.
Ponies don't eat meat.
My, my. Aren't the three of you just a bunch of sadistic fillies.
5487727
In Opal's case: The claws.
5487749
Just hope she doesn't demand it everyday.
Why are the 6 acting a bit OOC? Twilight and Fluttershy aren't the type of ponies to laugh at someone in such senario. They'd probably question it and want to see themselves. And Applejack isn't the type of pony to jump to conclusions. She'd probably think this through and try to figure out how this came to be.
5487806
I bumped her down to 6th from other fics I've read. 
Very true. But Twilight is still a bit unreasonable.
5711180
Yeah! If the animals like taking, let em.
6117649
Really?

If the animals want to talk, maybe they should let them. After all, it's not like the pet owners should make every decision on their own based upon what is natural. With the current situation the animals are in, they can finally speak their mind and have a saying for their life! Now the pets and owners can work in a better relationship where communication can bring them peace. They will both understand each other's wants and needs as a two-way system instead of one-way where the pets have to know what their owner wants. Besides, when was anything in Ponyville natural?
Maybe a way to please some of the disappointed readers is to have a teaser ending? Like:
One Pet/Pony Play Date:
Opal: Think they bought it?
Winona: I hope so.
Owlowiscious: Shh! They might hear us!
~fin~
At least that way the Crusaders learned their lesson, but the animals can still talk!
I'd have hoped a pony as intelligent as Twilight could come up with a better reason than to appeal to the naturalistic fallacy.
5883972 While technically correct due to the outcome of a couple court cases, the idea that a work's uncopyrighted elements aren't protected because it contains copyrighted elements from another source (ie: the case where a fanfiction writer was ripped off by someone else who stripped out the "fanfic elements" and passed it off as their own "original" work) is sleazy and dishonest at best. No serious business will do that just due to the public opinion backlash they'd face should the story get out.
I personally think that particular fanfic author needed a better lawyer who could argue what needed protecting better. If anyone has the right to strip out "fanfic elements" and publish the original parts as their original work, it's the fanfic author, not some Johnny-come-lately plagiarizing hack.
If StormLuna (or anypony else on this site) wants to do that with her stories, more power to her, and I hope she meets with success. Hopefully she never has to deal with someone else doing it to her like that other girl.
Didn't like the ending, it's just wrong.
