The Change-Up

Chapter 4

"Okay girls, I might as well get this over with..." Twilight said

"Whatever happens Twi, we'll be here for you!" Rainbow Dash pronounced.

"Most definitely!" exclaimed Rarity

"Together for ever!!" Pinkie Pie said

"Forever" both Fluttershy and Applejack said.

They all went back into the Library and gathered around a table. 'Hmmm.... Spike must have cleaned up' Twilight thought.

"Thanks for cleaning up Spike"

"Oh, your welcome Twilight. It wan't a big deal."

They all wondered the fate of their beloved friend Twilight, what would become of her? Would Princess Celestia still allow her to stay here? Would she have to move back to Canterlot? Spike grabbed a piece of parchment and a quill then went to go stand next to Twilight.

"I'm ready when you are Twilight."

She began:

Dear Princess Celestia,

I know that you have always had faith in me and believed that I could accomplish anything. You are the best mentor a student could ever have, one that I don't deserve. I'm sorry to tell you this but Princess... I have failed.

I have tried everything in my power to fix this but there is nothing I can possibly do. I no not have any idea how or why this has happened but all of the residents in ponyville have suddenly switched species. I am now a pegasus, along with Applejack and Rarity. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie are unicorns (don't worry we took care of that problem), and Fluttershy is an Earth Pony.

I have tried my best but my best is not good enough. This is why I am asking you to help us. I understand that you are very busy, but ponyville needs your help. Even if it means I can no longer be your student anymore, I would trade that to just get my friends back.

Your faithful student

Twilight Sparkle.

"NO TWILIGHT YOU CAN'T!!" Rarity shouted, "Don't say you would give up your mentor just for us!"

"Yeah Twi, ah just can't let y'all do that fer us." Applejack said.

"No, no i have to if it means you can all go back to normal. I know you would do it for me too.... Okay Spike here you go." She handed the letter to Spike who went to the window to send the letter.

"Now what do we do?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"We wait for the princess to get the letter and see what she will decide."

They must have waited for hours.... but in reality it was more like ten minutes. There was a light knock on the door and Twilight went to go answer it. She slowly opened the door and who was there none other than.... DERPY!!!!

"Derpy? What are you doing here?"

"Oh I just wanted to say hi! Oh and I wanted to check out a book."

"Sure, What book?"

"Oh did I say book? I meant cupcake."

"Um.. but you said... never mind. Um.. Sorry Derpy but we don't have any cupcakes maybe you should go to Sugarcube Corner."

"Oh I ment to give you this package today but then I gave Pinkie Pie a cupcake but that was suppose to go to Lyra, so I just thought maybe you still had it. Well if you don't have one do you have any muffins...MMMMM Muffins!!!"

"Didn't you see Pinkie eat it? Ok well I'm sorry we don't have a cupcake or muffins but thanks for the packgage! See you later Derpy!"

"OK BYEE!!!!"

Twilight closed the door and went back to her friends. She opened the package and found a vest. It was one of those racing vests with holes so Pegasus wings could go through them. She checked the package again... yup it was for her, but who would give her this? It had to be someone who knew this was going to happen.

"Um Twilight... who gave you a racing vest?" Rainbow Dash asked trying to hold back laughter.

"I don't know, it doesn't have a return address."

All of the ponies stopped dead in their tracks when they heard a faint familiar laugh.

"WELL IT TOOK HER LONG ENOUGH!!!" a voice boomed.

"H-Hello, who's there?" Fluttershy whispered. They suddenly heard faint hoofsteps behind them and they all quickly turned around. This time it was not Derpy, but it was PRINCESS CELESTIA!!!

"Hello my little ponies, Twilight I see you go my gift."

"It was you.. but.. but why?" Twilight questioned her mentor

"Oh Twilight you can't really imagine that six ponies could possibly just change species overnight!"

"Well. I... um.. Wait what about all of the other townspeople?"

"Whatever do you mean?"

"We saw Derpy and she wasn't a pegasus anymore."

"Oh really I only ment to change you six... hmmm... O well that is easily fixed."

"Y-You mean... YOU DID THIS!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH TODAY???"

"Oh Twilight my dear and faithful student... YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE LOOK ON YOUR FACES HAHAHA IT WAS PRICELESS!!!!"

Twilight just looked at the Princess. Twilight's eye was doing that twitchy thing it does when she is about to lose it.

"Um Princess, may ah ask y'all why ya did such a thing?"

"Oh come now a princess needs some fun once in a while, but it took that mailpony forever to get you that package. I didn't mean for you to have to wait this long, but I needed you to get that package first."

"Um. Twi are you okay?" Dash asked

"Oh come now Twilight I can play a trick on my best student once in a while can't I?"

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW CRAZY I HAVE GOTTEN FROM THIS... THIS PRANK???"

"Oh Twilight you need to learn to lighten up a little."

"You got to admit Twilight now that I think about it it's kind of funny." Dash said

"Okay i just want everything to go back to normal."

"Alright." The Princess then lowered her head, and her horn began to glow. There was a blinding light that cover the entire Library. When the light faded away twilight and her friends were back to normal

"I'm going to bed, goodnight. Oh and Princess I'm sorry I yelled at you that was inexcusable."

"Don't fret my student go you need your rest."

Epilogue

"OH MAN WE GOT HER GOOD!!!!" Dash explained.

The princess began to chuckle. "Yes i suppose we did. Thank you again Spike for suggesting this, I needed a good laugh, and Twilight needed to lighten up."

"No problem Princess, I had fun watching it!"

"All of you ponies were marvelous, you all should have goten cutie marks in acting! Especially you Pinkie Pie I mean that whole Pinkamena skit was just icing on the cake!"

"OOOHHH CAKE!!!"

All of the ponies shared a good laugh.

"Alas, I must be on my way. Thank you ponies for showing me some fun, we should do this again. However, I think Twilight needs time to recover."

"That would be marvelous." Rarity explained

"Goodbye my little ponies, until next time!"

"Goodbye!!!" They all watched as the white alicorn flew off into the Sunset.
