Chapter One: The New Spell




Twilight found the spell book she was looking for and flipped through the pages.

“Ah, here we are, the ‘Changeling Reveal’ spell,” she muttered to herself. “I’ll need somepony to try this on, and Spike is Celestia knows where, perhaps I’ll ask my friends… It’s completely harmless, so there would be no reason why they couldn't.”

“So, let me get this straight,” Rainbow Dash spoke up, interrupting Twilight's explanation. “This spell will make it so we can tell who’s a Changeling and who’s the real thing?”

Twilight nodded. “Yes, and I need one of you to try it out, because I have no idea where Spike is…”

“Well sign me up!” Rainbow Dash cried. “I mean, It’s never too soon to catch a horrid creature like a Changeling!”

“Well, okay then.” Twilight smiled “Come by around noon and I’ll be ready for you.”

“I’ll be there!”

Rainbow Dash barged through the front door of the library.

“Hey, Twi!” she called out. “Ready to do the spell?”

“Yeah, one sec, I’m helping Carrot Top find the book she wants, this might take a while, though,” she sighed.

Rainbow Dash decided to entertain herself by slamming her hoof down on the pointy side of some pencils to fling them across the room.

“Ooh! That one landed in the garbage! I’m gonna try that again!” Rainbow Dash grinned as she made pencil after pencil soar through the air.

Carrot Top came into the room with a book and waved to Rainbow Dash before leaving. Rainbow Dash waved back and glanced at the doorway to the other room. Twilight wasn't in sight, so she went back to flinging the pencils. 

Twilight entered the room, but Rainbow Dash didn't notice. Her eyes widened as she watched Rainbow Dash make a huge mess with the pencils.

Rainbow Dash was about to fling another pencil across the room when suddenly it was lifted up in an aurora of red-violet.

“Huh?” she gasped.

“You really shouldn’t play with pencils, Rainbow,” Twilight sighed. “You could poke somepony’s eye out.”

“Hey! I would not!” Rainbow Dash was indignant and flung another pencil once Twilight had turned away.

“I saw that, Rainbow,” Twilight said picking up the rest of the pencils.

“Lemme help ya with that, I did make the mess,” Rainbow Dash pointed out.

“Okay, the sooner we get this done, the sooner we can do the spell.”

Once they were done, Twilight turned to Rainbow Dash. “Are we doing the spell or not, Rainbow?” she rolled her eyes.

“Yeah, yeah, I’m coming,” Rainbow Dash said.

“Okay,” Twilight said. “Here goes nothing.”

Her horn glowed as she cast the spell and she closed her eyes.

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes. Let’s just get this thing over with. Why did I volunteer for this? It’s so boring!

When the spell was finished, Twilight opened her eyes.

Rainbow Dash was struggling to stay standing. “I don’t feel so…” she slumped to the floor.

Twilight stared at Rainbow Dash. “Rainbow!” she turned away. “What have I done?”
