"And this is my bedroom!" declared Rainbow, leading her friends in, "What do you think?"
"It looks like so much fun!" said Pinkie, bouncing on to Rainbow's bed.
"Well, it could use maybe a bit more decorations..." said Rarity, looking around, "Maybe a fresh coat of paint, some portraits..."
"Hey, Rainbow," said Twilight, "Aren't you going to show them what you showed me?"
"Of course!" said Rainbow, flying over to her closet, "You guys want to see one more thing?"
"Of course we do!" said Applejack.
"just give me a sec..." Rainbow hid behind a small of wall of clouds she had formed before coming back out, "Ta-dah! It's my space suit!"
"OH MY GOSH!" said Pinkie, reacting first, "You have a metal encasement, too!"
"What?" asked everypony (and Spike) simultaneously.
Pinkie instantly zipped over to Rainbow and grabbed her wing encasement.
"This! It's like the metal encasement on my front leg!" she said excitedly.
"Wait, that's metal?" asked Rainbow, "I just thought it was gray!"
"Nopesy-oaksy! It's metal!"
"Nopesy-oaksy?" whispered Rarity to Twilight.
"Why do you have a metal encasement on your leg?" asked Rainbow slowly.
"Ooh! I guess it's story time!" said Pinkie, bouncing up and down, "Can I go first?"
"Yeah-"
"Goodie! It was when I was still an itty-bitty twinkie Pinkie, and I grew up on my family's rock farm!"
...
Pinkamina Diane Pie (aka Pinkie Pie) bounced excitedly as she followed her big sister, Maud Pie, into her super duper secret laboratory! Today, Maud was going to give her a super duper special present that would make everything super duper fun!
"What is it? What is it?" asked Pinkie, her straight mane bouncing up and down as she did, "What is it? What is it?"
"It's something great that will help you out on the farm," said Maud in her monotone voice, "Plus, you'll really like it."
"Yippee! Fun work is the best kind of work! When do I get it?"
"In just a minute. I just need you to stay still so I can put it on you."
"Yep indeedy!" Pinkie instantly stopped bouncing, and stood completely still.
"This will only take a minute."
Maud gently grabbed Pinkie's right front leg, and held it out straight. She then started layering small pieces of metal down, until she blocked Pinkie's view.
"It's all done." said Maud after what felt like forever, "Ta-dah."
Pinkie looked down at her leg to see that it was completely gray and felt really weird!
"Coooooool!" said Pinkie, looking at her leg, "My leg is gray! That's so funny!"
"That's a special metal encasement infused with rock magic so it will grow with you. It allows you to smash rocks to pieces easily without hurting yourself. It also has some springs in it so you can bounce extra high. But don't try it in here. It don't want to have to fix the roof."
Pinkie zipped outside and bounced, putting extra emphasis to use her right leg.
"Weeeee!!!" shouted Pinkie, as she flew into the air, before landing safely on the ground, "Yay! This is so much fun!"
Pinkie started bouncing around and around the farm and not damaging anything whatsoever.
...
"The end!" said Pinkie, bouncing into the air with glee.
"That was it?" asked Applejack.
"Yup!"
"It's not that you had a terrible accident occur?" asked Rarity.
"Nope! My sisters have one on their legs, too!"
"What are your sister's names?" asked Twilight.
"Maud, Limestone, and Marble Pie," said Rainbow instantly, "Wait, how do I know that?"
"Good question!" said Pinkie, still bouncing.
"Magic..." muttered Rainbow.
"What?" asked Fluttershy, "We couldn't hear you."
"Nothing important," said Rainbow, waving her hoof, "Anyways, that's all of my house. I hope you guys liked it!"
"Well, Ah sure did!" said Applejack, "Though, Ah do need ta get goin'. Gotta get ready fer applebuckin' season!"
"Applebucking season?" asked Rainbow, "Why does that sound so familiar to me-"
Rainbow abruptly cut off, and her eyes glowed a bright pink. She heard her friends shout out in surprise, when she started to see things. She saw Applejack (looking extremely exhausted) collecting a trophy, incorrectly baking muffins with Pinkie, and causing a bunny stampede. But there was something wrong with the pictures she was seeing. Applejack's cutie mark had red apples instead of green ones, and Pinkie didn't have the metal case on her leg.
"Rainbow!" yelled Twilight, causing her eye's to stop glowing.
"Huh?" asked Rainbow, looking around in confusion.
"Are you okay?" asked Fluttershy, "You're eyes were glowing!"
"Yeah!" said Pinkie, "They were glowing pink, and you were just standing there like nothing around you was happening!"
"But I saw a bunch of stuff..." said Rainbow slowly.
"What did you see?" asked Twilight.
"I saw Applejack collecting a trophy, baking with Pinkie, and causing a bunny stampede!"
"Say what?" asked Applejack.
"But... It wasn't you and Pinkie."
"What does that even mean?" asked Rarity.
"Well, the Applejack I saw had red apples for her cutie mark, and the Pinkie I saw didn't have her metal casing, and her cutie mark was only blue," Rainbow paused for a moment, "Twilight, magic scan me."
"Sure thing, but why?" asked Twilight, her horn lighting up blue.
"I don't know, but just do it."
Twilight quickly scanned Rainbow, and looked at the magic information sheet.
"Wait..." she said, looking closely, "This doesn't make sense!"
"What doesn't make sense?" asked Rainbow, looking at the sheet.
"You now have more than 100 magic parts in you!"
"Oh my gosh, you're right!"
"Would you care to tell us how much magic she has?" asked Rarity, "I'm afraid that none of us can understand the information you have."
"Sure," said Rainbow, "I currently have 60 parts pegasus, 30 parts unicorn, 5 parts dragon, 25 parts alicorn, 10 parts Earth pony, and 5 parts of an indistinguishable magic."
"That does make no sense!" said Fluttershy, "How did you get more magic in you?"
"I don't know how she does." said Twilight.
"But I have an idea," said Rainbow, "I gained 5 parts pegasus, 10 parts unicorn, 5 parts alicorn, 10 parts Earth pony, and 5 parts of that other magic. If you divide each number by five, you get 1, 2, 1, 2, and 1."
"How is this important?" asked Applejack.
"I got this new magic when we got Shadow out of Luna! I must have gotten the pegasus magic from Fluttershy, the unicorn magic from Twilight and Rarity, the alicorn magic from Luna, the Earth pony magic from Pinkie and Applejack, and the last magic from Shadow!"
"That does actually make sense..." said Twilight.
"Then test it! Scan AJ, we know she had 100 parts Earth pony!"
Twilight quickly scanned Applejack, and she and Rainbow each gasped.
"What?" asked Applejack.
"You have 95 parts Earth pony magic and 5 parts Trust magic!" said Rainbow.
"And?"
"And that means that some of your Earth pony magic went to me when the Trust magic went into you!"
"Are ya sure?"
"Yes, but I'm sure you're still as strong as ever."
Twilight quickly scanned the others and herself, to reveal a similar pattern. Rarity had 95 parts unicorn and 5 parts Selflessness, Fluttershy had 95 parts pegasus and 5 parts Empathy, Twilight had 95 parts unicorn and 5 parts Friendship (or Magic, they weren't sure), and Pinkie couldn't be scanned for some reason.
"I'm going to go write Princess Celestia a letter," said Twilight, "Okay?"
"Sure thing," said Rainbow, "I'm going..." she trailed off as Twilight vanished in a flash of light.
"Um, should we be going?" asked Fluttershy.
"You guys probably should," said Rainbow, "Sorry to make everything so crazy."
"Crazy can be fun!" said Pinkie, who had finally stopped bouncing.
"It's no trouble, sugarcube." said Applejack.
Rainbow smiled as her friends started to leave, but saw another image flash in front of her eyes.
"Hey, AJ?" she called out.
"Yeah?" asked Applejack, poking her head back into Rainbow's room.
"You might want to hurry back to Sweet Apple Acres. Your brother's about to injure himself."
Applejack stared at Rainbow for a moment, before dashing off.
"And I'll write a letter to Luna..." said Rainbow to herself.
She quickly pulled out her brand-new dragon fire candle, a piece of parchment, and looked for a writing utensil.
"Why are there only quills?" asked Rainbow, "Well, Twilight uses quills, so... Eh, I'll just hold it in my hoof."
Rainbow grabbed a quill and an inkwell, then sat down at her desk to write Luna a note.
"Urgh, I can't get a good grip on this thing," said Rainbow, struggling to hold the quill, "Too bad I can't use magic like Twilight or..."
She trailed off as the quill was surrounded by a red magic. Rainbow looked around to see that her wings were also glowing red, just like Twilight's horn when she was using magic.
"WHAT," said Rainbow, "Okay, I'm Luna a letter right now before something else happens!"
