"There HAS to be a counter spell! There just has to be!" Twilight shouted. She used her horn to flip the pages of the book that had caused the problem.
"Well hurry up and find it!" Spike was chasing a young Rainbowdash up the stairs. Great. Looks like Rainbowdash can fly.She was also still completely obnoxious.
"Oh no! What if the spell was messed up because I'm not good enough! What if I have to go back to *gasp*... magic... kindergarten?!" This caused Twilight to go into a complete state of panic. She flipped the pages of the book again and again, so fast that there was no way she was seeing them.
"WAAAAAA!" Rarity wailed so loudly Spike covered his ears ( well earholes or whatever dragons have). "SHE BIT ME!" Filly Rarity pointed at a straight haired Pinkie, who was sulking in a corner. Twilight ignored them. Always a good mother\friend.
"Aha!" Twilight pointed at a page in the magic book. "It says that it is possible that the spell is defective and another spell might come in handy. Which is on page 952." Her horn lit up with a lavender color and the pages flipped again. She quickly read the page when she found it. The book slammed shut loudly. "That's it!" Twilight looked around when there was no answer.
The library was empty. Except for her that is. Applejack's stetson lay on the floor, forgotten.
"Guys?" The only sound she heard was the library door swinging shut.
Meanwhile, Spike was running as fast as he could chasing Rainbowdash. The only upside was that she wasn't as fast as when she was a fullgrown mare.Still, sweat poured from Spike's forehead. Rainbow had flown everywhere including Suarcube Corner, the Spa, and Sweet Apple Acres. Spike wasn't cut out for that kind of running.
Spike breathed a sigh of relief when Rainbowdash landed in a tree. He leaned against the tree and tried to catch his breath. He felt a lot like he was gonna keel over soon. Rainbowdash looked down from the tree's highest branches and looked at Spike with large fushia eyes. She stuck out her tongue and gave him a raspberry, then dashed from her tree.
"You gotta be kidding me!!" Spike yelled. He again started after Rainbowdash, his head hanging low to the ground.
Twilight was racing around Ponyville so fast, she could almost be mistaken as Rainbowdash. Almost. Her head whipped from side to side frantically. 'Where in Equestria could those fillies be?' she thought to herself. Suddenly a white speck caught her eye as she raced past one of the shops. Twilight stopped so fast that she covered an unlucky pony with dirt. Doing a double take, she saw that the white speck was Rarity.
Rarity was looking at a pony with adorable, large puppy eyes. The pony, who was Lyra Heartstrings, smiled and reached into her saddlebag. She took out her favorite lyre, and- and... what? Gave it to Rarity?! Filly Rarity smiled and Twilight noticed the aqua aura coming from Rarity's horn. She was using magic on Lyra! Most likely a hypnotyzing spell of some sort. But the most skilled unicorn could barely do a hypnotyzing spell let alone a foal.
After Lyra had walked away, Rarity headed towards Junebud. Twilight facehoofed. Rarity was even worse than Spike when he had experienced a growth sprout and started to manipulate other ponies. Twilight quickly moved to stop Rarity before more ponies were robbed unknowingly. Before Twilight reached the tiny terror, Junebud was handing Rarity her blue flowers.
'How is Rarity going to hold all of that stuff?' Twilight asked herself. Rarity kept both the flowers and lyre aloft but also used her magic to manipulate the ponies.
"Rarity!" Twilight shouted causing the foal to turn. "Manipulating other ponies is wrong! Give those ponies their stuff back!" Rarity's little face took on a menacing look. Suddenly Twilight felt a little strange, like she wanted to give Rarity something. Twilight shook her head to clear it of the strange haze.
"Oh no you don't!" Twilight muttered and closed her eyes in concentration. She used a spell to block Rarity's spell. When Rarity realized that she couldn't get through to Twilight she lobbed the lyre at her. "Ow!" Twilight cried as the lyre hit her on the head. Rarity turned and ran, but really she was about as fast as Twilight's trot. Twilight thought of the counter spell and started to cast it on the fleeing filly.
A bright, lavender light shot from Twilight's horn and hit Rarity. Slowly she started to grow and age until she was exactly the same as she normally was. Twilight rushed up to Rarity who had stopped running and was rubbing her head quizzically.
"Um, Twilight dear why am I out here? The last thing I remembered was you casting that spell and I-" She stopped midsentence and a new understanding lit her eyes. She pointed at Twilight angrily. "You turned me into a-" Twilight clapped a hoof over her mouth.
"Yes, yes but we need to turn the others back." Twilight removed her hoof from Rarity's muzzle. "Can you help me?" Rarity nodded slowly.
"I guess," She said uncertainly. Twilight sighed with relief. "Good." They continued the search for the others.
"Gotcha!" Spike shouted happily as he caught Rainbow Dash's multi colored tail. She kept flying at a slightly slower pace, towing Spike behind her. Man she's strong. Spike planted his feet in the earth to try to stop her. All it did was leave a line in the dirt. As they rounded a corner, Twilight and Rarity stared at them in shock.
"HELP ME TWILIGHT!!" Spike screamed. Seems like he's been doing a lot of that lately. Twilight got over her initial shock and zapped Rainbowdash as the strange duo sped past. Rainbow grew in size until she reached her normal size. Her wings slowed and she lazily hovered in the air with Spike still attached to her tail like an anchor.
"Spike? What are you do-" RD stopped midsentence and turned towards Twilight who was hurrying towards the two, Rarity ather side. "Um... did you just turn me into a foal?"
Twilight nodded solemnly. "Yup now we've got to turn the others back. If you can find Applejack and Rarity you find Fluttershy, then I will find Pinkie. Oh, and Spike, you go with Rainbow and find AJ." Twilight spewed orders from her mouth like an officer in the army. The four broke apart and headed in different directions.
