"Where is my Spikey Wikey, Twilight?" The white marshmallow of a unicorn, with purple mane and tale, and blue eyes, asked the mulberry unicorn, actually looking rather angry.
"..." Twilight grinned nervously. "O-okay, ummm...Rainbow Dash told me some things about stands on the way here, and-"
Rarity rolled her eyes. "Yes, Twilight, your stand is called 'Reading Rainbow', and, it does have power, but-"
"I think I did something wrong."
"..." The other unicorn blinked, before sighing, and calmly asking, "What did you do, Twilight?"
"I think I might have...used 'Reading Rainbow' to wish for something, and-"
"What was it this time? Books? Quills? Ink? Tomes? Cheeseless Quesadi-"
"N-no, no, sadly, nothing like that...I used it...To wish for my mom to be here."
"..." Rarity looked like she was in shock.
"It was Pinkie, wasn't it?", Rainbow guessed.
Twilight just kind of stared at her, not sure what to reply back to Rainbow's correct guess. "How did you?"
"Puh-lease, Twilight! We all know about that stupid spelling based name theme a million times over by now", Rainbow murmured...Chuckling nervously, as she got a glare from Rarity.
"...My family naming theme? How-"
"It's a long story," Rarity muttered, sounding rather annoyed. "Basically, Rainbow Dash and I used to be one of your mother's...acquaintances...Before-"
"Wait, acquaintance? Singular?"
Rainbow groooaaaannneeeeddd. "Please don't ask about that...Rarity actually used to be part of your family, before-"
"THE OLD FAMILY THEME WAS VOWELS!", Rarity hissed. "While 'Aye-Aye' was the main one, it used to be vowels...Before your mother was brought in."
...Wait, I'm confused, are we doing a pony equivalent of Stardust Crusaders, or Jojolion?
"Both," a certain voice brought up nearby.
Ah! ...Thank you.
"Don't mention it."
"Did anyone just black out for a few seconds?", Twilight asked.
"Ignore it," Rainbow Dash told her.
"I know I most certainly do...But, either way...Not completely Twilight's fault, dearie."
"..." Rainbow grimaced. "Okay, how, and-"
"Your ridiculous stand- That certain aspect of it only works if someone...paid something. And, I now you know better than to-"
"I DON'T! ...I mean, it doesn't! If she's in Pinkie's body, then-!"
"Then we must proceed to begin plan Theta. Fluttershy?"
"Present." WOAH! Where did that super kawaii yellow pegasus mare with pink hair, and cerulean green eyes, come from?!
"Ah! Perfect~ ...So, whose going into Sugarcube Corn-?"
"NOT ME! ...I mean-" Rainbow chuckled. "Pinkie has...a certain effect on me. Especially when I use my stand, one of her special ones activates. Mcgee-"
"WOAH, BACK UP!" Twilight exclaimed. "Pinkie has more than one stand?!"
"...Yeah, thats what I was saying slash implying. Anyway, Mcgee's Wonderland...Nothing good happens what that one's activated. If this were one of Twilight's PG-13 fan movies, it'd become 'R' in a blink of an eye."
"...Did you remind her about the knife thing?", Rarity asked Rainbow rather testily.
"N-n- ...Yes," Rainbow admitted.
"Well, then...Its up to our dear friend, Lyra Heartstrings, to help us out then~"
Twilight blinked. So much of this was unclear...First off, Mcgee's Wonderland. What did that do? ...Something she probably didn't want to find out about. Then, there were the others. "...Pardon me," she told them, her horn glowing, "But, what do your-"
"My stand," Rarity started up, not letting her complete that question. "Allows me to look into people's eyes...and see their inner selves. Now, normally, this can actually be an easy process, but, if someone has something to hide- ...I can only imagine what Pinkie- No. We must remain optimistic."
"My stand," the yellow pegasus known as Fluttershy started, "Allows me to feel and affect other ponies' feelings. It can get kind of crazy at times, though, especially if I'm trying to work them toward confusion, and other helpless emotional states. I try not to use them too much, but...TGR-"
"She can't use the full name...People insist she change it to something else, but, it just doesn't work the same with the altered name," Rainbow told her.
"As for Lyra's," Rarity began, "Humanness...Can affect a pony's very life and memories. And, with your help, we can let live her life properly. ...But-" She looked at her sternly. "There are rules you must-"
Suddenly, Rainbow sighed. "I hate to be the bearer of bad news...But, we reallllllyyy don't have time to figure out the Pies! Perhaps it might have slipped your minds...But, I think we all know whats happening tonight."
...There was silence in the room. For at least half a minute, the ponies looked at each other with horror as they realized.
Rarity's eyes were suddenly bloodshot. "You're right! The night's tonight! We don't even- ...Huh. We don't need him for this, but, he might need us soon. Anyway...Applejack. Without her-"
"We can fly," Rainbow reminded Rarity, narrowing her eyes.
"Right! Right, yes, of course we can. ...But, that doesn't mean we won't need her."
"...I have an idea," Both Rainbow and Twilight said at the same time.
Fluttershy merely cocked her head at this, while Rarity raised an eyebrow. "Well? Go on," The latter told them.
Hoity merely trots in for a second...Before vanishing before their eyes.
