“.....Alright to recap here......... you say Applebloom wandered into the woods, fell, and chipped her tooth before you found her and then you fixed it?” Comet Trail noted, his bat like wing claw taking notes as he spoke.” With a potion?”
“I hahve a mixture this is true, that will make ah tooth as good as new.” Zecora offered.
Comet Trail nodded and jotted that down.
The two rookie Guards on either side of the Major's desk glanced back and forth between the Zebra and the Nox-Cal. While the Major didn't seem that put off by it, the two rookies were seriously weirded out by the exotic looking zebra's rather rough Baystentionian accent.
Both of the rookie stallions were unicorns, wearing the gold and blue armor of the royal guard with the white fur enchantment prevalent in most of the Cake Hunter branch and both of them had green eyes. Comet Trail had given up trying to tell them apart and simply promoted one to PFC so he could use the ranks armor pips to tell them apart. The only reason they were here now was because they were the last to Guards left at the post aside from Comet Trail.
“Something like that could be a boon to the dental community.” Comet Trail added.
“While it might ahllow ponies to again eat corn off the cob, the dentists of Equestriah would all be out of a job.” Zecora explained and Comet Trail nodded in understanding.
“And after this she asked you to make a potion to give her a cutie mark?” the Major continued.”So then what happened?”
“In the pahst I've worked to teach, herbs ahnd potions that ahre in her reach.” Zecora waved a hoof. “ I left her ahlone for a moment or three, as I needed something I did not have in my tree. Upon my return I took note she hahd gone, and that my front door was now on my lahwn. The interior of my home looked like a tornado blew through, so I figured once more she had made up a brew. While she hahs the tahlent to eventually be great, she has quite a hahrd time with the concept of 'wahit'. ”
“So she's made things before and as I expect detonated something?”
“I keep my important things out of the wahy,” Zecora shrugged. “I already had plahned to remodel some dahy.”
“And after you cleaned up you discovered that she used the Hearts Desire plant?” Comet Trail noted.
“Not only that, but she used the wrong parts, you just use the leahves that look like hearts.”
“Right I can fill in the rest from what Spike and Applejack told us. She found a talent, was showing off and a second cutie mark appeared. And by the time the third appeared last night she couldn't stop doing what was on the marks, plate spinning, tapping, hoop-de whatevering.” Comet Trail looked through his notes.” She was brought to Twilight the librarian diagnosed it as Cutie Pox, then Twilight went and got you thinking you might know something she didn't. Meanwhile Applebloom was running all over town, stuck doing whatever it was that popped up on her flank. Then you show up with a cure …...the..... what was it again?”
“The seeds of truth were the proper cure for Ahpplebloom, but this is Ponyville so of course next cahme doom.” Zecora sighed.
One of the rookies took that moment to look out of the window and out at Ponyville where a great number of ponies were bouncing around, spitting fire, stacking cups gardening, sweeping chimneys yodeling or all manner of other things as the cutie pox ran rampant in town.
“Applejack's going to ground her until she's old enough to drink.” the rookie without pips muttered.
“I don't suppose you have a catch all cure?” Comet Trail asked.
“Sahdly that sort of thing I do not, The seed I hahd was my only shot. While the filly was cured by speahking what was true, I have no idea how Rahs cahught it too.”
“He tried to eat it to cure Applebloom, and Poison Joke does make him a pony.” Comet Trail groaned. “And then that spread to Spike and to Twilight and then to Shining Armor and Canterlot. “
“I'm sure there's a long scientific reason behind it that Twilight will regal us with whenever she can stop playing bagpipes sir.” the Guard with the pips added.
“Thank the stars the Princesses are immune to this thing or I don't even want to think about it.” Comet Trail sighed.
“So ahre zebrah, nox-cal and a few others too. As are Minotahur and elk, and the race that goes moo.”
“And we have three more days of this from the time patient zero came into town before the pox runs it's course.” Comet Trail rubbed his temples.”What was her black list count up to?”
“Probably a year or more sir.” one of the Guards answered. “ We couldn't ask Pinkie Pie as she can't stop whistling Dixie.”
sorry confused here blacklist, and who is it? Apple Bloom i take nd she banned for a year!
are the spelling errors intentional?
9251722
That's Zecora's accent.
I can understand why it affected the Sparkles siblings, but how can it spreaded to other ponies too? Then, again, if Rahs eat the cure, will it also spread to others too?
I thought the point of the episode was that it wasn't actually cutie pox in the end?
9251755
Once Rahs ate the magic, it most likely evolved from a basic magically effect, to a communicable effect.
9251721
blacklist is a book or list with pony names on iit that if u on it u cant get anyhtign in town, all the shop owner follow it, so yea only thing applebloom be get next year will be just what she need to live ie food and water that it.
9251780
Ouch! Yeah i get why she got blacklisted for a year but OUCH, still at least Twilight and Pinkie weren't' bored.
9251781
guess a year it could be longer, or less,
This was fun
I'm already picturing Twilight and Pinkie Pie performing a duet of the Equestrian Dixie.

Well.....things escalated quickly. Gonna agree with that guard that Applebloom might end up grounded until she's old enough to drink.
You’re having way too much fun with the crusaders.

Oh she's more than 'a bit' nuts in canon. And she's an extreme extrovert with no concept of personal space. That's why I'm not particularly fond of her. Here she's seeming very petty and vindictive, though.
9256666
She is . very much so. But there's a perfectly good raisin for that. perfectly good raisins for much of what i do.
The Discord Link doesn't work.

Ya dr Mobious
Well then!
This was a good use of things to get past a story with little changes to it, while also just keeping it fresh and so damn hilarious. Reading the after action reports and witness interviews for the Mane 6/CMC's hijinxs has got to be freaking amazing, and I would actually love a series just doing that. And nice touch with the changes and having things spread, just add to the fun.
Plus, who needs Discord when you have the CMC? And I love the Guard already have a "CMC/Pinkie no questions were asked" box on figuring these things out.
Good to see the Guard have such rigorous standards for promotion.
And, just "Yeah there is a reason, Twilight would know it, we don't care."
I so want more of these things popping up.
Some of the best Zecora rhymes in conversation I have read on this site. Nicely done good sir!
I gave up on imagining what Zecora's voice sounded like with all changes from the author applied, so I just used the rapper speech bank from Jocat's first Worms WMD video and went on from there.
I don't know if I said this before, but while I love Zecora's rhyming, I hate, HATE the accent you gave her. It is horrible and repulsive on her.
That's a lie
I doubt this medication can put out properly trained Dentists...
When teeth are damaged or lost and a Poten could help than its a huge help. But one still needs a professional for exterminating and administrating it under der right condition.
Incorrect Its like saying as long you have access to potions and medication you can heal yourself. Most likely there qould be a high lethal prozentual to that kind of user. Everyone hear storys like patient died do to incorrect medication.
There is no cure against stupidity or lack of common sence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Its probably the pure chaos and most lethal event Canterlot see for a looong time. For Ponyville its just a weekly thing
To bad she didn't had to whistle about' the great and powerful Trxie '
Wing claw?
Like that?
