//------------------------------// // 5. Spoiler Alert // Story: My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Magic Show of Friendship // by Dupontsimon //------------------------------// Trixie was horrified by what her father had done to the Human Six as they are in a state of extreme panic over their animal forms. "So much of not worrying about being something else, Rarity," Appledog said. "It is difficult for me to get used to!" "I know," Kanga Rare freaked. "What kind of trick like this would a magician do to people," Trixie asked angry to Jack Pot. "Change them back!" “I’m afraid I don’t know how,” Jack Pot said. “You’re just making that up,” Rainbow Dragon said. She tries to use her super speed to get the diamond. But suddenly her geode disappeared and so did the others’. Jack Pot revealed that he used the wand to teleport the geodes from their necks into his hand. “I think we only focused on how the wand transfigures that it can also teleport,” Trixie said. “I can still get them,” Rainbow Dragon said. “No, wait.” Trixie warned. Too late, Jack Pot used the wand and trapped Rainbow Dragon in a cage before she could charge at him. He traps some of the other girls in cages. Kanga Rare and Appledog tried to escape, but they had a manacle around their necks and chained to a pole. “Why did you do this to us,” Twi-crane asked. “I’ve been interested in your magic abilities,” Jack Pot explained and shows a newspaper. “Since I read about you saving Camp Everfree. I thought if I had magic like that, I would have been the greatest magician everyone has ever seen. It’s only your geodes I wanted. And when I discovered this magic diamond that turns people into animals, it gave me the perfect opportunity to get them from you.” Trixie argues of this as madness, “Are you out of your mind? Last time someone used them all, she was consumed by magic that put us in danger.” “I don’t care about super suspicion, Trixie.” Jack Pot argued. “Unless you want to join them, find your Sunset friend and get me her geode.” Trixie looks worried at the Animal Six as she is being threatened. Until she winks to them and reveals the geodes hidden in her pocket. The Animal Six smiled with hope that she switched them on Jack Pot. “Okay, I’ll do it,” Trixie said. “Good,” Jack Pot said as he goes to prepare to set up his magic show. Twi-crane whispers to Trixie, “Get the geodes to the ponies.” Trixie nods and leaves the trailer to go find the ponies. Meanwhile, Sunset Shimmer walks around town behind Starlight Glimmer and pony Trixie, who are trying to reason with Sunburst about his problems with his sister. “Look, Sunburst,” Starlight said. “I know how upset you are with Sunset for not coming back and forgetting you. I thought this is about how she was selfish to you.” “Well, I would’ve forgiven her for it,” Sunburst said. “Until I learned from Princess Celestia how she betrayed her and wanted to learn about the mirror.” “But I didn’t know what got over me,” Sunset said. “I’ve been so curious about the mirror when Celestia first showed me it. And I thought this place made me a princess myself.” “Just a princess of a school dance,” Trixie commented. “By keeping friends apart and blackmail.” “Thanks for bringing that up,” Sunset said. “After I was defeated by Twilight, I realized how I was to everyone. She had her human friends help me learn about friendship and I had to make up for the damage I caused to gain everyone’s trust. I didn’t mean to forget about you after that.” “And you could compare this when we lost touch,” Starlight said. “Because we couldn’t help with each other’s problems. I felt like that when you got your cutie mark and moved on without me, which made me a cutie mark thief.” “And besides,” Trixie added. “You can’t blame her because she needed to learn friendship if she wanted to forget about her past.” “Even if it means to forget her life as a pony,” Sunburst replied. “And get used to her new life as a human in a world without magic.” Sunset feels more heartbroken that her brother will never forgive her. Starlight and Trixie feel sorry for her. Back at the Graduation Fair, Princess Twilight and the Pony Six are searching around the school for the diamond. But they are having no luck. “Anything,” Twilight asked. “That diamond could be anyway in this world,” Rainbow Dash complained. “It’ll be only somewhere near the school,” Applejack said. “‘Cause that's what we saw in Starlight’s memories,” Pinkie Pie added. “But it landed next to the portal,” Twilight said. “And we would’ve found it quick.” Rarity regroups with them, using her gem-finding spell. “I know I’m the only one who knows how to find gems with my magic,” she said. “But I don’t think it works on finding magic gems.” “Then maybe we should ask if anyone has seen it,” Fluttershy said. “Who would be interested in an animal-changing jewel anyway,” Applejack asked. “I don’t know,” Twilight said. “But they can be corrupted with its magic if they can’t handle it.” The human CMC were at their sisters’ activity booths, waiting for them. Apple Bloom feels concerned that the Human Six are missing since they were with Trixie. “You know I’m still excited that we met our pony sisters,” Sweetie Belle said. “I know,” Scootaloo said. “I wish we could meet our pony selves too. I think I can tell the pony me is a pegasus. Because this cutie mark badge has a wing.” “I can tell how cute the pony me is as a little unicorn,” Sweetie Belle said. “I’m excited too about all this,” Apple Bloom said. “But do you get the feeling that something might have happened to our sisters?” “Come to think of it,” Sweetie Belle said. “We haven’t seen them since they told us to look around.” “Well, they’re looking for that magic diamond too,” Scootaloo said. “Right?” “Only the ponies are,” Apple Bloom said. “And they were supposed to be back here.” “Plus, they are with Trixie,” Sweetie Belle said. “Think she knows?” Suddenly, Trixie runs into them and knocks them over. “Sorry,” she said. “I’m just hiding from my father.” “Did something happen,” Sweetie Bell asked. “Just hope he doesn’t find out what I switch on him,” Trixie said. “Just whatever you do, stay away from him and I need to warn Sunset!” Trixie runs off to find Sunset, leaving the CMC confused about her worries. “What was that about,” Scootaloo asked. “I don’t know,” Apple Bloom said. “Probably avoiding her daddy issues, she talked about.” They find the Human Six’s geodes on the ground, which Trixie dropped when she ran into them. Sweetie Belle said, “Hey. These are their superpower geodes. Why did she take them?” “I don’t think she did,” Apple Bloom said. “But we should find them and give these back.” “Before we do,” Scootaloo said. “I want to see how Jack Pot does his magic tricks.” “Is that a good idea,” Apple Bloom asked. “And Trixie said to stay away from him.” “Well, I don’t believe in stage magic,” Scootaloo said. “And he probably does the same she does. So why don’t we look behind those secrets before his show starts?” Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle thought about it and started to agree. At Jack Pot’s trailer, the CMC made sure he wasn’t around as they sneak in through the back entrance. They looked at all the magic stuff to see how the tricks are performed. “I don’t know about this, Scootaloo,” Apple Bloom said. “We might get caught.” “I just think he’s a fraud like Trixie,” Scootaloo said. “But not this time he’s not,” said a voice. The CMC looked around to see where the voice came from. Apple Bloom recognized it, “Applejack? Is that you?” “Hang on, I found a lamp,” Sweetie Belle said. She turns on the lamp, making it able to see in the dark. She felt a tap on her shoulder and looked behind her. In a horrified shock, she finds her sister as a kangaroo and yells, “Rarity?!” Kanga Rare covers Sweetie Belle’s mouth to quiet her. “Not so loud,” she said. “Even I’m freaked out by what I am.” Apple Bloom and Scootaloo are surprised that they backed into Rainbow Dragon’s cage. “It’s okay,” she said. “It’s just me.” “Rainbow Dash,” Scootaloo asked. “You’re a dragon! This is not Jack Pot’s stage magic?” “Do you think a magician can do this,” Appledog asked. She was pawing Apple Bloom’s legs to get her attention and got lifted up. “Applejack,” Apple Bloom asked. “How did this happen?” They notice the rest of their friends as animals in cages. Twi-crane explained, “Jack Pot has the diamond and he used it on us.” “All because he wants our geodes,” Rainbow Dragon said. “He also has Trixie’s wand that trapped us in these.” Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle tried to get the collars off their sisters' necks, but they had no keyhole to pick. Scootaloo couldn’t open the other cages as they had no doors. “It’s no use,” Twi-crane said. “These cages are probably magical that only the wand can open them.” “Trixie had your geodes and she dropped them,” Sweetie Belle said as she revealed the geodes. “We thought she took them and we should give them back.” Kanga Rare hides the geodes in her pouch. “She didn't,” she said. “Jack Pot tried to take them, but Trixie switch them on him. She supposed to get these to the ponies before you took them.” “We didn’t know how crazy he is with wanting your magic,” Sweetie Belle said. “And we can’t let him get them,” Twi-crane said. Suddenly, all the lights came on. They saw Jack Pot, who catches the CMC in the act. “What do we have here,” he asked. “Some uninvited guests trying to make a spoiler alert?” “We were just looking for our sisters,” Sweetie Belle said holding Kanga Rare. “And you turned them into your animal slaves,” Apple Bloom asked. “Not slaves,” Jack Pot said. “They offered to be my assistants for my show and tested my trick on them. And I'm gonna use them as animals for my magic trick.” “This does say “slaves” to us,” Appledog said. “And we’re not,” Kanga Rare added. “And we want them back to normal,” Scootaloo said standing up to Jack Pot. “Not a good idea, Scootaloo,” Rainbow Dragon said. “Well, if you want to be with them,” Jack Pot said as he takes out the diamond. “Why not be what they are?” Jack Pot casts the diamond's magic on the CMC. Much to Kanga Rare and Appledog’s horror, they watch their little sisters transform into younger animals of what they are. Even Rainbow Dragon was horrified with Scootaloo’s transformation, who now becomes Scootadragon. Sweetie Belle becomes Sweetie Roo and Apple Bloom becomes Puppy Bloom. “NOT US TOO!!”
