//------------------------------// // Problem fixed.. kind of // Story: Who's Who // by Write Holiday //------------------------------// Twilight opens her eyes, taking a blanket off and sitting up. She fluffs her wings and walks outside, barley remembering the night before. "Fluttershy!" Rainbow yells, flying towards her. "Oh, sorry Twilight, forgot about your, your uh, place swap?" "Oh it's fine Dashie, how are you?" "I'm well, not good, Scootaloo taught me that saying I'm good is wrong and honestly, I prefer well. Makes me smarter sounding." Twilight chuckles. "What?" "Oh nothing. Would you like to-" She stops herself. "Uh, Twilight? You there?" "Look at that. A male northern cardinal, it looks like a canicaudus Chapman sub-species. They were named in 1891 you know, one of the last sub-species for northern cardinals. And you can tell it's a male because of the red coat, the female is usually tan." Rainbow stares at her. "What?" "Twilight, are you feeling ok?" "Of course Dashie, why?" "Hm, who created the Wonderbolts?" "Um, I-I don't know, who?" "General Firefly, you should know that, you're the one who taught me it." Twilight swings her hoof, looking at the ground. "I think we should get you changed back fast." Twilight nods and they head to Fluttershy's cottage, locking the door bend them. Discord greets them. "Why hello there Rainbow Dash and Twilight, Fluttershy is awake and ready for the spell." He says while grinning. "Oh goody, I can't wait to be back to normal." Fluttershy heads down stairs and stands next to Twilight. Discord claps and pops away. Both mares fall over and loose balance, unable to stay upright. "Did it work?" Rainbow asks. "Yes! I'm back to normal!" Fluttershy yells. "That could have gone terrible, but we did it together." "Yay." Twilight faintly yells. "Ok, what's going on here?" Rainbow asks, confused and upset. "You're both back to normal and fixed, but why are you guys acting like the other one? Here, Fluttershy, what animal is cutesy and wootsie and quick as can be?" "Uh, a cat?" "No! A bunny!" "Well how was I supposed to know that?" Twilight lowers and backs away a bit. "Girls." "And you're not supposed to be upset about us arguing, what happened to you two?!" There is a bang at the door. "What was that?" The banging continues. "Hands, I know you have them Sparkle, and I want them. Please, give me your hands!" Rainbow walks behind a chair. "Twilight, what is this pony talking about?" "I-I don't know, I hope she isn't mad about something." The door is ripped off the hinges, the lock shattering and falling to pieces. "Give, me, your, hands!" Lyra has a wooden, fully functional, perfectly replicated hand over a hoof. "Lyra! We don't even know what hands are, calm down. I bet Discord put you up to this, didn't he?" "No, I want my hands." "Here, you'll grow hands if you eat this." Rainbow holds out a cupcake. Lyra snatches it and chows it down. "Good, now then, I... I want, I, I want my, your..." She falls over asleep. Rainbow stares at her, not moving or talking. "Um, Dashie? I think you should go home, you need your rest." Twilight says. Fluttershy pushes her. "Let's give her some space, she'll be fine." They walk out of the room. "Why was she so inquisitive about us? And why was Lyra trying to break my house?" "Um, I may have told her about my trip to Earth, Discord asked it for an IOU." "Oh, ok, well if this is what he was trying to achieve, then what was the point of it?" Fluttershy stands still, staring at the room Rainbow is in. "Come on Twilight, let's go talk to Rainbow Dash." They walk in the room to a twitching, smiling, still Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow?" "I have spent the last three days confused and hopeless for you two. Now, after this, I'm not sure if I should even be allowed to talk anymore." "Look, Dash, I know you're scared but there is a simple explanation to all of this." "But that's just it Fluttershy, there isn't. You are acting exactly like Twilight, and Twilight is acting exactly like you but neither of you notice. It doesn't make any sense. And then this happens because of Discord, I don't know what to think about that. Then to top it all off, Twilight will definitely not be willing to go to the princesses now that she is like this." Twilight steps foward. "I'm sorry, but they could be just so mad, they wouldn't have any mercy on any of us." "No Flutter- I mean Twilight, it isn't your fault. I just don't think we have any hope to fix this anymore." Rainbow walks out of the house. "Rainbow wait! Oh forget it. I don't understand what she means by us acting different, I am perfectly normal and so aren't you, right Twilight?" "Well, I think so. I mean, if I'm acting like you then you should be acting like me but you aren't so how am I acting like... my head hurts." "I think we need to speak with Discord." The floor opens. "Did someone call my name?" Fluttershy steps forward. "Rainbow Dash keeps saying we aren't acting like ourselves, what did you do?"
