Touch the Sky


*strokes blanket* I am a good writer. I am a good writer. I am a good writer...

E

I, Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Magic, have all I've ever dreamed of. But always fresh in my mind is the spell which threw my friend's destinies into disarray. After mistakenly recasting it, my strengthened alicorn magic means that not only am I also affected, but my friends have switched not only cutie marks, but species too.

Why does the idea of Pinkie Pie with wings not appeal to me?

And why has Fluttershy suddenly become so loud?

this is really good so far! :pinkiehappy:

Please continue This sounds really awesome and could easily be a really good story.

NOOO! Curse you short chapters with cliffhangers!
...
Okay I'm better now. Awesome chapter and I can't wait for another one. But I do wish that they could be a bit longer. I do however understand having troubles with writing longer chapters so I'm fine with waiting for the next chapter.

2512152 Ok, I'll try to make them longer. Thanks for reading:raritywink:

2512213
No problem. I'm currently reading Links in a Chain

Attack of the bunnies!!! That's awesome. And this is relevant to my comment on the last chapter. I kinda take back what I said, mostly because you came out with the update so fast. I can't really complain about how long the chapters are when they come out so fast. Can't wait to read the next chapter which I hope comes out as fast as this one did.
Also I just started laughing because the ad that just popped up on my screen is an ad for pest control... Did you plan this?

well its easy to cook twi just look in the book if you dont know :facehoof:

2517689 No I didn't :twilightoops:

2523341 Yeah, but she doesn't know to use her hooves like Pinkie does.:pinkiesmile:

2524807 well darn what about boosted latent magic

2524952 its what lets pegusi stand on clouds and pinkie apparently had a BUTT-TON of it since she can control pocket dementions and teleportation so yea

you forgot my latent magic suggestion :fluttercry:

2525385 Well I didn't really understand it... so I couldn't use it. Sorry.:twilightoops::twilightsheepish:

Did you spot the reference in chapter 5?

2525415 no can you elaborate i may not have heard of it

2525418 well it was the bit when all the rabbits were putting their paws up- it reminded me of the 'I am Spartacus' thing. If you haven't heard of that, sorry.:twilightsheepish:

2525421 gonna look it up right now but it WAS pretty funny :pinkiehappy:
IM SPARTACUS AND SO'S MY WIFE do you get the referance?

I'm loving the story so far I just want to point out one thing. Ponies don't have hands. In the first sentence of this chapter you said that Twilight washed her hands. Other than that I don't recall any other mistakes. So just keep writing, just keep writing, writing writing writing. What do we do? We write.

Interesting. I'm glad that there are now two on Twilight's side. I also have to say that I usually don't read any of the Alicorn Twilight stories, probably because that's such a new concept I don't know how I want to handle it, but seeing as Twilight is technically an Alicorn in this one just an Earth pony. You've done a fantastic job on this by making it funny and having such interesting ideas and that's why I keep coming back when you update. And why I can't wait to find out how Twilight manages to climb out of the hole she's dug for herself this time. Congratulations.
And on a side note; I don't know if you meant to have a reference in this chapter but I at least made a connection. When the doctor cries out because Applejack is already 'missing her wings' he said; "Great Scott." I immediately thought of the Doc from Back to the Future and started laughing slightly. Then it hit me that it was the doctor that had said and I started laughing harder. I don't know if you meant to do that but I found it frickin hilarious. Can't wait to read the next chapter.

2530606 I NEVER NOTICED THAT :pinkiegasp: wow I wrote a reference without even realising...:duck:

Anyway, thanks for continuing to read. This story is fun for me to write, so it's the only one I've been working on as opposed to the other three uncompleted ones of mine. Next chapter is already underway.

Did you enjoy Links in a Chain? I know it's a lot more depressing than this:pinkiesad2:

2532493
It's always fun when you make an unintentional reference. And glad to hear that the next chapter is underway. Also, I loved Links in a Chain. It was sad but it was excilently written and it was done expertly. I thought that it was an intriguing idea and although it would never be explored in the show it's really interesting.

2532556 Thanks. Not sure if I should add a comedy tag to this story since you think it's funny...:derpytongue2:

2532788
When reading this I had kinda wondered why there wasn't a comedy tag.

Congratulations on another excellent chapter. I was kinda hopping that Twilight would get a chance to talk to Applejack or that when she made the slip up in the library that she and Rarity would start talking about it and everything would get explained. Although neither of those things happened I still enjoyed how the chapter played out and it was completely believable that Fluttershy would try to harm the rabbit and Rainbow saving the day at the cost of her horn, now that's true loyalty. I don't know if you did it on purpose or not but this chapter made me realize that both of the normally earth ponies got turned into pegasus. And I found that sorta interesting. I also wanted to say that if they were to ever revisit the whole switching mess-up that I love to see this storyline for the presumably two part episode.

Celestia's nephew = Luna's son

More likely either Celestia or Luna's great-grandson, with several more greats in there for good measure, presuming that he can trace his lineage to an alicorn.

What could have happened though is Celestia and Luna were either adopted or married into an existing Royal line at some point in the distant past, possibly before they became alicorns if they were like Twilight at one point and Blueblood traces his ancestors to another branch of that family. You only have to look at how the noble and royal bloodlines of Europe worked for an idea as to how that could have happened.

Glad to see that you updated. I got worried when I woke up this morning and I didn't have an email telling me that Rearranged had been updated. Although it was weird because I didn't have anything new to read when I woke up really early in the morning because my cats decided to start fighting at 4 in the morning.
I love the chapter and I'm not sure how I feel about Rarity threatening Twilight and Applejack. Love the fact that Rainbow is back to being a Pegasus and hopefully she'll regain her memory and with another pony on Twilight's side, Rarity will see that Twilight isn't lying. Although I'm not entirely sure how Fluttershy is going to get changed back because there's no physical attributes that she could loose to make her realize that she's supposed to be a Pegasus. Although I could see instincts kicking in if she fell from a really high place, like something about falling would trigger memories of flying and she'd gain wings before hitting the ground. That's what I'm thinking. Can't wait for the next update, whether it's tomorrow or the day after that. And Happy Birthday! :pinkiehappy::ajsmug::yay::twilightblush::raritywink::rainbowwild: And a Derpy for you. :derpytongue2:

This seemed moderately unnecessary. Princess!Rarity's a bit of a jerk, isn't she? Her ambition doesn't mix well with Twilight's stress issues, it would seem.

give twilight her horn first then wings alot later that horn would make rarity doubt huh.

welllllllllllllllllllllllllllll rarity will be PISSED

uh oh thats bad or good one or the other depending on what happens

I. Need. MOARRRR! I bet Twi will gain her magic after this! :twilightsmile:

2598463 do you mean the one about giving twilight her magic back first?

2598472 yeah I read that :pinkiesmile: I was kind of planning to do that anyway, but I also had planned to turn Twilight into a pegasus instead, just so Applejack could get annoyed about it:twilightsheepish::ajbemused:. But then I decided not to, because I am trying to draw this story to a close now. Expect more rage:twilightangry2: and another transformation in the next chapter.

2598480 i 100% knew what you were gonna do this chapter too

2598484 next one might surprise you a bit though... plus the twist I have planned for the ending. :rainbowkiss:

Why the heck was Rarity being like "oh Twilight grew a horn! Meh, whatever."

Glad to see that you updated:pinkiehappy:
Now as for where this should go I have a few suggestions. One Since Pinkie is now the last one that needs to change (Besides Rarity) I think that you should change her and have her regain her Cutie Mark at the same time. (Gigantic party maybe?) And when Twilight sees this she gives the okay to the others to start getting their own Cutie Marks back but pulls Applejack aside to talk to her. (Because Rainbow has changed but no memories) And plans with her to get Rainbow her Cutie Mark back by having Applejack saying something like "So, I remember you saying something about dying to have my Cutie Mark. Maybe right now there is something funky going on with Cutie Marks and we can trade them." Rainbow would agree and then wonder how she could get it and AJ would say that she got her Cutie Mark in a race so maybe she'd have to beat her in a race to get her Cutie Mark. Rainbow would agree again and then win the race gaining her own Cutie Mark back.
Assumedly Fluttershy has her Cutie Mark back AJ would then get hers back and leaving only Twilight and Rarity. Rarity is probably not taking this very well and does something irrational like challenges Twilight who's magic has been getting stronger as her friends regain their Cutie Marks. During the challenge Twilight is starting to win against Rarity, Rarity takes drastic action and tries to get rid of Twilight by doing something like throwing her off a cliff Twilight could regain her wings and once she gets back on top of the cliff she'd cast the spell again and Rarity would turn back to normal and everything would be good. End of an Epic Story.
If you want you can use my ideas or not I don't care they were just suggestions, which turned out to be longer and more in depth as I had originally intended. Oh well. I can't wait for the next update to see what you decide to do. Hope it comes soon.

2598913 Much more pressing issues at hand (or hoof). It'll hit her next chapter.:twilightsheepish:

2599104 This was kind of my original plan actually... but if Twilight cast the spell again things would get scrambled up again... or someone would turn into an alicorn:rainbowderp:

But I have a twist in mind for the ending, so you'll see.:eeyup:

2600174
Or cast a spell but yeah.
Cant wait to see what this twist ending is.

Well I wasn't expecting that but I like it and can't wait to see how they deal with this. It's nice that Rarity is no longer causing a problem. But now I want to see how this whole Pinkie thing is going to work out. Hope that you update soon.

This is intriguing. Keep up the good work. :twilightsmile:
