I do not own My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic


Daisy with her friends rushed quickly behind one purple dragon that had urgently come to their door step and tell them something was wrong with the Malek heir. Even though she didn't like the changeling heir, or trust him for that matter, Daisy still felt some obligation to help.

She and her friends weren’t left too much in the dark as to what Masquerade was trying to do in Ponyville, trying to unite changelings and ponies. Though, the Descry changeling wondered why he would try for something so…dangerous.

After all, if it was just ponies, we wouldn’t have any problem with showing ourselves. She thought, already having experience with her friends. No, the main reason for their hiding was the alicorn sisters. Mainly the older one who controlled the sun.

Whatever the reason, it didn’t matter at the moment. Their one ticket to peace for both changelings and ponies was apparently in trouble, so right now she could put aside reasons and hates from the changeling.

When they nearly broke the door off its handles, Lily shouted, “What‘s wrong, we came as quickly as we…could?” Slowly losing her panic as she, Rose, Daisy and Spike watched one unicorn mare try to keep Masquerade from crashing around.

“--hic!--And so it be--hic!--be said, let--hic!--let there be CUPCAKES!” The second heir in his original body slurred, rising up to stand on his rear-legs. Unfortunately, he had no balance and fell on his back, giggling as he did.

“This is new.” Rose said while watching the scene with amusement, “Say Daisy, you didn’t tell me changelings could get this drunk.”

With a sigh, the pink mare told, “Not in the normal way, no.” Shrugging off her bag of supplies she thought she would need. She apparently didn’t really need them, but she had to know what happened.

Walking up to Twilight --who was trying to calm the heir down-- Daisy told, “Twilight, you can calm down, Masquerade’s just suffering the after effects of an overcharge.” Eyeing the taller changelings antics and wishing she had a camera.

“Overcharge?” Twilight repeated, quickly using her magic to catch the changeling that had stumbled a bit.

With a lit up face, Rose said, “I remember you talking about that!” And started to laugh, “Oh this is rich, Daisy, please tell me you packed a camera!”

With a smile she shook her head, “Sorry, but I didn’t.” Turning to look at Masquerade who was going on some tirade about reporters and how they always show up at the worst of times, “But I‘m wishing I did.”

Calming down at how easy Daisy was taking the situation, Twilight asked, “So, nothings wrong with him?” Looking back to the changeling that was still going on about some nonsense.

With a calmly waving hoof Rose told, “He‘s fine, just suffering what Daisy likes to call, ‘A changelings equivalent of being drunk off their hooves’.” Putting the lavender mare at ease.

A thump was heard as the changeling had collapsed onto the ground again, giggling and hiccuping every now and then. Working his way through the ponies, Spike poked the changeling a few time, electing giggles from the downed form, “So, this will pass?”

“Eventually.” Daisy nodded before gaining a knowing look, “But getting an overload of this kind requires a lot of love.” Leering towards Twilight who began to blush, “You could say he‘s drunk on love.”

Like bloodhounds, each of Daisy’s friends locked onto the unicorn mare, all but asking what happened. Lily was the first to say, “We‘ve been hearing from Roma that something was happening between you two.” With the most bubbly smile.

Nudging the mare with an elbow, Rose said, “You have got to share the details on how you made that guy go gaga over you.” Casting a look at the still downed changeling who had past out on the ground, hiccuping even then.

With how the conversation was going, Spike rolled his eyes and announced, “I‘m going to bed.” Deciding it was a good enough time to do so. Sure there was a few more hours before Celestia set the sun, but he didn’t mind a few extra hours of sleep. As long as he got away from this conversation, he was good.

With Spike’s exit out of the room, all eyes turned to one unicorn, who gulped at all the attention thrown her way. Looking to Masquerade, Twilight lit her horn and carried his body up and over to the couch. His goofy grin returned while enveloped in her magic, apparently enjoying the emotions it held.

Twilight smiled at that some, before some giggles from behind reminded her that she had an audience. Once the changeling was situated, she turned to the three flower ponies saying, “Well…when Mask admitted to...loving me…” Getting a number smirks while she flushed some more, “I wasn’t sure what to say.”

Seeing as they wouldn’t say anything, Twilight continued, “I‘ve been thinking about what to tell him for a while, but every time I did, I‘d back out.” Running one of hooves in a circle on the floor.

Rolling her eyes Rose said, “You got nervous and choked every time you tried bring it up.” Nodding to herself, “But that’s past, what happened now?”

Seeming to blush more, Twilight said, “W-well…since changelings could taste feelings, I thought I could share them all by…kissing him?”

At this, Daisy burst out laughing her head off and falling on her back, “N-no wonder he-he‘s so kooky!” Despite her roaring laughter, Masquerade merely hiccuped or giggled in his sleep, completely oblivious as to what was happening.

Rose joined in with her friend, finding the whole situation funny too. Lily however smiled and sat next to Twilight, patting her back saying, “Well, good for you.” Giving a quick glance to the changeling, “Does that mean your officially a couple?”

“I hope so.” Twilight said, looking to Lily, “It took me nearly all my will just to do that, I don’t know if I could again any time soon!”

Calming down from her laughter, Daisy told, “Well, I‘m afraid that’s not an option.” Getting a little more serious to catch he mares attention, “If you don’t show your feelings often enough, he wont gain any needed resistance to it.”

Taking a moment to think over the pink mares words, Twilight said, “Are you saying that he‘ll do this every time I kiss him?” Looking back in worry at the heirs prone form.

Waving the other mare off, Rose told, “Na, what Daisy means is you give him a smooch every so often, so he doesn’t become a drunk.” And thought aloud, “I wonder if we can get Pinkie Pie to catch a picture of him like this?”

Giving a light shove to the cream colored mare, Daisy said, “Point is, if you don’t do that, then he‘ll just go loopy and be useless for a day.” She let Twilight think that over before continuing, “So, if you do go steady, give him plenty of hugs, some kisses now and then and keep an eye on him if he does get like this.” Pointing over to Masquerade.

Still with a flushed face, Twilight nodded to them asking, “So, Mask will be back to normal tomorrow, right?”

With a small shrug Daisy told, “Depends how big his reserves are and how much you charged him.” Thinking it over some saying, “His body should be able to convert it soon enough, and with how skinny he is, I‘m guessing he’ll burn though it faster than most.” And gave a nod, “I‘m sure he‘ll be back to normal when he wakes up.”

Twilight absently nodded to herself for a moment before say, “Wait, are you saying changelings can‘t get drunk from alcohol?”

Daisy went respond, but was cut off by Rose who said, “Are you kidding, if they‘re in their bug bodies, then yes.” And swung her hoof around Daisy smirking, “But if they ‘re in a stage-two disguised as a pony, then no.” Shaking her pink friend saying, “Isn‘t that right Daisy?”

With a glare Daisy growled out, “I thought we would not talk about that ever again.”

“Oh come on Daisy.” Lily giggled from her place near Twilight, “It‘s a funny story, and we can always leave out the more embarrassing bits.”

Rolling her eyes Rose told, “But those are the most juicy parts of the story!” Getting a light whack from the changeling in pony form.
Twilight felt herself relax more with the three and their antics. Getting up, she offered tea to the three, seeing this as a good time to get to know the flower trio better.


Morning sunlight crept out from behind the hills and mountain tops just outside of Ponyville and made their way towards the tree filled apple orchard. At the sun’s prodding, the roster on his post woke up, knowing his task for that morning.

With a ever familiar crowing of the roster, Big Macintosh began to move himself and get ready for the day-- but had to stop when he noticed that something warm shifted on his back. With a small sigh, he craned his neck to spot both Gem sisters on his back, sleeping contently with happy smiles.

He could not help but gain his own smile at the two, finding it rather adorable in some way. True, it was a slight hassle getting out of bed when both of his fillyfriends decide to cuddle with him like this, but he wasn’t complaining. They were warmer then a blanket, and pegasus feathers were rather soft compared to the scratchy wool.

Never-the-less, it was morning and it was time to get up. Nudging the closest sister--being Ebony--he roused her from her sleep saying, “Come on, time t‘ get up.” Shifting some to help wake the other sister who was sprawled over his lower back.

“But your so comfy.” Ebony tiredly pouted from her spot on Mac, hugging the stallion closer. Ivory herself shifted herself a bit more, making sure not to be shaken off, “Can’t we snuggle for five more minutes, Beau?” Giving off a small yawn at his nickname.

Lightly shaking his head at the two, Big Mac said, “We got work t‘ do today.” Nuzzling the darker sister saying, “If‘n I ge‘ it done early, then we can relax some near the pond.”

Ivory picked her head up gave a wide smile saying, “Sound delightful, don’t you think sister?” Playfully nudging the other pegasus with her head.

Ebony gave a slight groan of protest of her sisters pushing, but had to admit the idea sounded good to her, “Sunbathing does sound nice…” Slowly drifting back to sleep.

The other pegasus however, had other plans. Getting a mouth full of her sisters golden mane, Ivory gave a few firm tugs muffling, “Up sister, up!” Letting go after rousing her sister a bit more.

While Ebony groaned and slowly dragged herself off the stallion, Ivory jumped off Big Mac with a flap of her wings and excitedly danced in place. The large pony chuckled a bit and helped the more sleepy mare to the floor before giving a quick peck on her cheek.

Just like all other times, the changeling under the pony guise seemed to perk up like she had a few shots of coffee, while also ruffling her wings. A small whine came from Ivory who felt a little left out. A quick peck on her cheek and she was right as rain like her sister.

Opening his door, Mac let the two mares trot out with happy smiles before exiting his room himself. Outside his room was Applejack, giving the two Gem sisters a reproachful look while shaking her head, “Ah swear, those two are jus‘ too grabby a‘ times…”

Mac watched along with his sister as the two entered Apple Bloom’s room once more, going in to tickle the filly awake again. Hearing the inevitable squealing of their youngest sister, Mac only nodded, “Eyup.”

By some miracle, the smallest Apple of the family had escaped the two pegasi and dived behind Mac saying, “Protect me!”

Somewhat rushing out of the fillies room, both sisters pouted saying, “No fair using Beau as shield!” Flanking either side of their coltfriend to try and get at Apple Bloom.

“Alrigh‘ you three, that‘s enough.” The apple mare said, rapping her hoof on the floor, “Got a big day ahead, an‘ I ant wastin‘ it!” Then headed for the kitchen.

“Eyup.” Macintosh agreed, nudging his youngest sister along to get ready for school later. Once she was scampering off to her room, the large farmer motioned with his head for both sisters to follow him.

Both sisters quickly looked back to Apple Blooms room and exchanged looks, grinned as they began to exchanged thoughts, we are escorting little Bloom to school yes? Getting a nod from her sibling, oh, most definitely! Giggling as they continued to send each others thoughts.


With her mane and tail brushed, pink bow tied in its place, school supplies ready for the day and a nice breakfast, Apple Bloom trotted out rather happily with Ivory and Ebony closely following her.

With warm smiles on their faces, both the Gem sisters watched as Apple Bloom make her way out the door with contentment flowing from her. Before both pegasi could make it out the door, a orange hoof was placed on Ivory’s shoulder, stopping her from moving. Ebony noticed her sisters awareness of being stopped, and halted herself to look back at what stopped them.

“Before ya‘ll ge‘ going, I‘d like t‘ say somthin‘.” Applejack said while looking past the two to see her baby sister had stopped when she noticed the two’s absents.

With smiles they nodded, “Of course friend Applejack, say what you feel.” Smiling some at their unintended pun.

The earth mare gave a slight chuckle at the two while shaking her head, “Ah just wanted t‘ let ya know tha‘ I appreciate the help.” Giving the the smallest glance to the kitchen where Granny Smith was working, she told, “Mac‘s never been more up, work‘s been ge‘n done, Granny‘s gald hevin’ ya ‘round an‘ I got more time t‘ get more important stuff done.”

Taking her hat off and holding it to her chest she said, “Wha‘ I‘m tryin‘ t‘ say is I appreciate what ya‘ll been doin‘ fer the family.” And gave a bigger smile when spotting Apple Bloom patiently waiting, “An‘ we‘re all happy ya‘ll help keeping‘ an eye on Bloom, means a’lot.”

Turning to fully face the other mare, both sisters nuzzled either side of Applejack, almost stumping the mare at how close they like getting. Once done Ivory told, “And we would do so as long as we are able.” Ebony nodded with her sister adding, “The Apple Clan, though as small as most nomad clans, have been a family clan to the Gems.”

Seeing Big Mac going back up the stares for his forgotten yoke, both sisters giggled, “We hope to be able to do more for the Apple Clan and get the chance to call you sister.”

Not giving the mare a chance to reply, both sisters moved with impressive speed out the door, leaving a small breeze in their wake. They both rushed slightly ahead of the filly, playfully dancing side to side and urging Apple Bloom to give chase.

Despite the small shock the twins gave, Applejack could only laugh a little at their antics as they played a small game with ‘Little Bloom’. Hearing the heavy steps that were her brothers, she said, “They are real gems, aint they?”

With a smile Macintosh told, “They do come from a family of ‘em.” Electing a laugh from his sister.


The small chasing game both Ivory and Ebony had started, lasted for a few minutes before they stopped when Apple Bloom was slowing down. They kept in mind to keep it fair and not fly, but they still showed the filly that they were much faster then they looked.

With the smaller pony tired out, both sisters went into asking what Apple Bloom was doing for school now, wanting to know if they could help in some way. The filly just shook her head saying, “All ah go‘ is math t‘day. Nothin‘ I or my brother can‘t handle.”

“That is good to know Little Bloom.” Ebony smiled, “It is nice Beau has time to help you with your learning.” Ivory nodded next to her in agreement.

With a curious look between the two, Apple Bloom asked, “Eb, Iv, I‘ve got a question.” Gaining their full attention and ready to answer her. With a another curious glance she asked, “Why do ya‘ll call my brother a bow?”

This got giggles from the two as Ivory explained, “The word we use is spelt, B-E-A-U, not B-O-W.”

Leaning her head down to be more eye level with the filly, Ebony told, “And it means coltfriend, or suitor in our case.”

Looking between the two again she asked, “How is it tha‘ both of ya can be my brothers fillyfrinds? Ah thought it was always jus‘ colt an‘ filly like Cheerilee taught?”

Giving the other a questioning look, both sisters exchanged thoughts for a moment. Do you think we should tell her? Ebony asked, wondering if it was right for them to tell the young pony. I see no problem with it, she will learn sooner or later. Ivory shrugged mentally, and who better to learn from than soon-to-be family?

They both gained smiles at the thought, but shook it off to answer, “Normally, you would be right.” They told as one, “But it is not uncommon for ponies to have more than one in a relationship.”

Tilting her head to the side, Apple Bloom asked, “It aint?”

Shaking their heads they told, “Ponies once formed what were called herds, which is a relationship with one stallion with two or more mares.”

Patting the filly to gain her attention, Ivory told, “Some times this dose not work, as some mares don’t wish to share, and break them up from fighting.”

“Than why don‘t ya‘ll fight?” Apple Bloom asked, “Ah ‘member seein‘ somthin‘ like it happen, bu‘ ya‘ll don’t?” Confused a little at the concept.

With giggles, Ebony took over with, “Both I and my sister are different, you recall what we are underneath, correct?” Getting a nod she further said, “Like most of our kin, twins are born with an ability to hear the other at all times.”

“Or see and feel what the other see‘s and feels.” Ivory pitched in while putting a wing over the younger pony, “Some say it is like a pony in two bodies.”

With wide eyes, the yellow filly said, “Really?” Trying to wrap hear mind around the idea of being in two bodies.

With even more giggles, Ebony told, “No, we are still different, just share our minds with the other.” And gave a look to Ivory who looked suddenly alarmed and said, “Like how sister hates getting dirty.”

With an upturned nose, Ivory told, “Dirt can be hard to remove from a white coat sister.” Then smiled herself, making her sister give her own panicked look as she knew what Ivory was up to, “After all, I don’t think frogs are scary.”

“I‘m not scared of them.” Ebony reminded while shivering, “Just gross and slimy…EYCK!” Making the small filly giggle at the two’s banter.

With a small chuckle of her own, Ivory said, “But to fully say, sister and I can be with Beau the way we are because there is not problem with it.” retracting her wing and waving a hoof in the air she said, “It may not be a social norm any more, but it is still tolerated.”

Calming down from her gross out, Ebony nodded, “As long as sister and I agree to share and love Beau, then no problems will occur.” And shot a glare to her sister saying, “And no pink!”

Looking hurt, her sister pouted, “But pink is such a nice color, so happy and joyful!”

Shaking her head, Ebony told, “If anything, it should be purple, a color of royalty, fit for heirs for both clans.”
Rolling her eyes Ivory said, “You only say this because you like purple as I do pink.”

This continued on for most of the walk, just the two bantering with the other with Apple Bloom as their audience. True enough, they could carry out the whole conversation in their minds, but having a third member to side with one or the other was rather fun to watch.

Soon enough though, they arrived at the school house. Other fillies and colts gathered at it’s entrance with parents or siblings, who each greeted the school teacher Cheerilee. The maroon colored mare with a duel colored pink mane waved at the trio that made their approach, smiling widely at the sight of one of her students.

With a quick goodbye, Apple Bloom rushed away from the two sisters and into the school house to meet up with her friends, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. In no rush, the two pegasi walked over to the teacher and gave polite nods, “Good morning Instructor Cheerilee.”

Waving her hoof at the two, the mare told, “Please, you can call me Cheerilee girls, there‘s no need to address me so formally.” Smiling at the two she noted, “You two seem to be in a chipper mood this morning.”

With big smiles they told, “We are hoping Beau gets his work done early today, he said he would go to the pond with us today!” Looking ready to jump in place.

Shaking her head with a laugh, the school teacher told, “I can see why your both excited.” Giving the two a somewhat far off look, “It‘s good to know that big lug finally has somepony to keep an eye on him.”

Both Ebony and Ivory patted either side of Cheerilee’s shoulder’s say, “Don’t worry none, we will be sure to keep your old friend happy as can be!”

“I don’t doubt it, you two are like a pair of Pinkie Pie‘s.” Cheerilee laughed while looking to the side, “It was nice seeing you two again, but I have a mother to talk to.”

Looking behind themselves to see a tall yellow colt following next to his mother, the twins nodded and opened their wings to take flight. Once they were gone, Cheerilee turned her attention to the two, sighing at the small talk she needed to have with Snail’s mother.


The surrounding air seamed more warmer then on most days, something that was perhaps intentional for what was to happen soon. Roma gave a slight glare up at the cleared sky and somewhat cursed the soon to be tornado day.

Why did my overhang have to break? She grumbled to herself, knowing it was going to be a long day in the warm sun. this was going to be less pleasant as her stands overhang was broken form a freak accident just days prior.

Any and all grumblings were stopped when two voices called out, “A-yo Roma Deluge!” Turning in time for two pegasi to land in front of her stand, and right before she could lock her door.

“So, what do I owe the pleasure of having both, Snuggle & Cuddles near my house?” Roma asked the now giggling mares who approached her.

Looking about quickly to make sure nopony was listening in, they said, “We came to check up on your ‘guests’ for the last two weeks.”

With the door closed and locked, Roma told, “Their in my basement, all bundled up and asleep.” Remembering the majority vote she, Toe-Tapper and the flower ponies made as to who would keep the detained changelings that attacked Twilight. She thought it was unfair for the two other ponies to add their votes, but she couldn’t complain much.

Deciding to help the mare hitch up to her cart/stand, they asked, “Are they getting fed their allotted amounts?” Lifting either side of the cart so Roma could slip in.

Giving a nod of thanks she told, “Yep, flower girl comes by every now and again to make sure I have all the love they need.” And muttered to herself, “Greedy little maggots, even if their sleeping most of the time.”

Looking to them, Roma asked, “When is that scarecrow going to talk to them, can‘t keep ‘em around forever you know.” Tugging a few times to make sure she was strapped in good.

“Cousin Masquerade would love nothing more than to rip them to pieces.” Ivory told, backing up so the mare could start moving. With a nod, Ebony added in, “It is why we are waiting for brother to return, so we might properly handle the situation.”

Giving them one last look, Roma told, “Well, if that cousin of your does get to a go at them, remind him I‘d like to have a few swings of my own.” Pulling away from them saying, “After all, lots of crazy happens in this town, but I can‘t have any fun without showing off!” More than irked that showing any sort of fighting skills might tip off her identity.

The two sisters rolled their eyes, remembering quite well how much Roma enjoyed causing any sort of body harm on others since the changeling party. It was a good thing the mare held back, most that fought her in the challenging ring were sure she had somehow managed to put bruises on their shells.

The thought amused the two pegasi, turning around to head for the Golden Oaks Library for a quick visit with Twilight and Masquerade. They both eagerly hopped Twilight took up their advice to talk to their cousin, they both thought they would make such a nice couple.

Do you think she asked after you told her how he felt? Ivory asked her sister, somewhat leaning on her twin sister. Hopefully, it would be a shame if she didn’t try. Ebony responded, also leaning some on her sister in return.

They passed a number of ponies up while they made their way to their destination, during which they traded thoughts. One such thought was what they would do when spending time with their Beau. Ebony gained a rather mischievous smile on her face at a thought, the same one that soon transferred to her sister who mirrored her and caused them both to giggle.

Do you think he would? Ivory asked, blushing at the idea. Ebony nudged her lightly with, and why not, feathers always need tending, and having another to help would be welcomed, no?

They both continued to giggle to themselves, knowing that even if it would be considered a bit inappropriate, the intimate act alone would make them all feel a little closer. Something the two really wish to happen with the farmer. Practice would be needed of course, seeing as pegasus wings are sensitive and could hurt rather harshly if preened wrongly.

Seeing the tree home in sight, both Ebony and Ivory opened their wings and gave a strong flap, helping them rush over to the door and knock on it as soon as possible. A muffled “Coming!” Came from within before the door opened with one Twilight Sparkle smiled, “Hello girls, how are you?”

Immediately picking up on the unicorns happy feelings swirling within, the two grind saying, “Has our cousin finally come out with how he see‘s you?”

With a light blush showing on her cheeks, Twilight nodded, “He did, last night in fact.” And moved out of the way, “Would you both like to come in?”

Accepting the offer, they both walked in with smiles and looked about the room to see if there were any changes. They came to a stop when they spotted their unicorn cousin, hiccuping in place every five seconds while trying to write some things down.

Looking back to the lavender mare for an explanation, she only told, “Emotional overload.” And getting both twins to nod in understanding and grin even more.

While Ebony walked off to talk with their cousin, Ivory pushed Twilight to the side and asked, “So, what did it take for you to talk with our cousin, friend Twilight?”

Looking away some but seeing no reason not to tell, Twilight told, “Well, there was this mare that was trying to move in on Mask.” Looking to the stallion in question she said, “When he left to get away from her she…said some things to make me lose trust in him.”

Both Ivory’s and Ebony’s wings reflexively fluttered a bit, with the white mare saying with an edge in her voice, “You don’t say?” Already plotting with her sister to get back at whoever this mare was.

Putting a hoof on the pegasus’s shoulder Twilight told, “Don’t worry about it Ivory.” Looking completely calm on the situation, “Now that my heads been…cleared up of how I was trying to think of Mask...” Smiling at the thought some, “I can handle her on my own and try convincing her to back away.”

With a pleased smile Ivory said, “He‘s your stallion now, isn’t he?” Giggling after she had said it aloud and making Twilight once again flush, but still keep calm.

“We had a small talk this morning after he was able to work off the access love from his system.” The unicorn nodded, “And we both agreed to take our friendship to a more…greater level.”

Giggling again, the white mare said, “In laymen’s terms, he‘s your coltfrind.”

Rolling her eyes Twilight said, “Yes, it means he‘s my coltfriend now.”

Without warning, Twilight was pulled closer by a hoof that held her close to a warm black body as Masquerade’s voice said, “And that al--hic--also make you my fillyfrind!” Chuckling at Twilight’s surprise.

Looking up at him from her spot, Twilight told, “I need to put a bell on you or something.” Unsure if she liked it when he just popped in as he did. Though, she could say she didn’t like it when he just vanishes.

“Many have tried.” Ebony started while her sister followed up with, “All have failed.”

Rolling her eyes, Twilight told, “We‘ll see about that.” Pushing the stallion away lightly, who gave no resistance and let go. She had already learned without asking that, yes, changelings apparently get more touchy if their in romantic relationships. Daisy even pointed it out that it was a natural instinct that sometimes was hard to resist for some.

Masquerade has been showing to be more touchy almost instantly after agreeing to the idea. The idea wasn’t that bad to her. Fact was, she somewhat enjoyed having him close for one, as he spent most of his time at a distance. That reminds me, I need to tell Applejack that it’s apparently normal for all changelings.

Taking her seat at the table where a cup of coffee sat as well as one of her books on magic theorem. After yesterdays events, she had gotten interested into how emotions effected changelings, and was thinking about asking Masquerade some more questions.

That was to say, after she had finished helping Rainbow Dash for today and also for tornado day. Until then, she was going to review what she had on magic and be able to make any correlations with the subject.

With smiles, the Gem sisters gave winks to their cousin mouthing, ‘go get her, tiger!’ and dashed for the door, giggling madly as they did.

With an amused sigh, Masquerade hung his head while shaking it, hiccuping before he was done. I can’t wait for that to pass. He hissed in his mind, hiccupping again as if to taunt him.


Swiftly as their wings could carry them, Ebony and Ivory made a speedy flight over the town and towards the local Apple Clan, so they could help out. Getting use to farm life wasn’t too difficult for the nomadic duo, as the only real difference was that they stayed in one place opposed to needing to move every other week or so.

The calm farming life had actually gone well for them, having a home to come back to and sleep in. Or the same vast area that was part of their home, allowing for free roaming whenever they pleased and be considered their land.

Gliding just over the tree tops, the two sisters searched for their favorite pony, more then willing to get started on some work to hopefully help him finish sooner.

Ebony was the first to spot Big Mac, pulling along a cart filled with tools to help tend to some of the trees further into the orchard. Ivory followed her sister who went into a dive, following any and all instructions her sister gave from within their shared minds so they could land near the stallion.

Macintosh pulled the cart behind him at a steady pace, completely oblivious to the two pegasi overhead and diving down at his location. All he knew was they left to take Apple Bloom to school and would be back later. When that later was, was beyond him, but some time later.

Latter did indeed come when he felt two strong gusts of wind on either side of himself and two wings being put over his back. He nearly jumped at how sudden it all happened, still not to use to such quite entrances’ the sisters enjoyed doing.

Making sure he was calm, he evenly spoke, “Apple Bloom make it t’ school alrigh‘?”

With big smiles they responded, “Eyup!” Giggling to themselves at the switch around of talking.

Mac smiled himself, entertained by the two. Looking ahead he said, “Welp, ah suppose it‘s time t‘ get t‘ work.” Spotting the trees that needed trimming.
