Into the Blender
01

...
Twilight Sparkle was excited.
Ditzy Doo had finally just delivered the package she had ordered off Amanezon.
“Thank you Ditzy.”  She levitated a fresh blueberry muffin to the delightfully friendly Pegasus.  She had long realized she was highly intelligent, and very friendly... just her eyesight wasn't the greatest, and she got dizzy often.  “I promised you one when I got the package.  Got them from Sugarcube Corner just half an hour ago.”
“Aww, thanks Twilight.”  Ditzy said in her usual cute voice.  “I haven't had time today for lunch.  I have at least... um... 12 more packages to deliver, including a cast iron, wood burning pizza oven for the new Pizzeria here in town.”
Twilight blinked.  “Um... aren't those heavy?”
Ditzy nodded as she devoured the muffin in 2 bites.  “A little, but I have some help with that one.”
Twilight smiled.  “Thank you again for delivering my package so fast.”
“Anytime Twilight, and thank you for the muffin.  Tell Mrs. Cake it was delicious, as always.”  She turned and flew off.
Twilight was quite giddy.  She set the package on the table and was about to open it, and take the new book for a joy read.
But then came the knock on the door as all her friends entered, followed by Rainbow Dash's number one stalker... er, admirer, Scootaloo.
"...and I saw you do that triple loop de loop yesterday while clearing the clouds from the sky.  It was so awesome.”
“You saw me do that?”  Dash winced a little.  “But... I was out over Strawberry's farm at that time.  That's a little ways out of Ponyville.”
“Oh yea, I go there all the time to help pick strawberries.  I don't get an allowance being an orphan and all.”
Dash sighed.  “I understand, well, I'm glad you enjoyed the show.  Oh, Hi Twilight.”
“Hello everypony.  Why are you all here all of a sudden?”  Twilight asked, just a little annoyed that she couldn't get to read her new book in peace.
“Twilight, Darling, you've been working so hard here in the library of late.  We decided to, as the saying is, pony nap you for the afternoon.”
“What?  But...  I'm not overworked at all.  See?  I've been so under worked that even I've been able to keep the library neat and clean while Spike is in Canterlot.”  Twilight grinned.  “Sooo... Yea.  I've also just got this new book I've been waiting nearly a month for, and I'm dying to read it.”
“Bring it with ya.”  Applejack shrugged.  “We're just gonna be out at the meadow north ah Ponyville.”
Twilight's grin changed to an actual smile.  “That meadow is really nice, and I love the sound of the creak.  I'm in.  I'll just grab a few things, just in case.”
“Make it quick, kay?  I'm itching to stretch my wings.”  Dash grinned, winking at Scootaloo.  “What say I take you up for a short jaunt in the clouds Kiddo?”
To say Scootaloo's eyes and smile had outgrown her face was an understatement, would have been almost correct.  It was a really cute understatement.  “For real?”
“Sure, you've never been on a cloud before, have you?”
Scoots shook her head as Twilight emerged from her room, wearing a straw sunhat.  She had her saddlebag as well.  She just tossed the book shaped package in one bag, while the other looked like it had some other stuff in it.  She then levitated the box of muffins.  “Shall we?”
...
Soft Spring Meadow.
It was a beautiful sunny day, with plenty of light fluffy clouds in the sky.
The friends set up a blanket, layed out some snacks and drinks, and then just layed back to relax while talking about whatever came to mind... which was erratic and random when it came to Pinkie Pie.
Twilight pulled out her package and opened it.  The moment the wrapping was out of the way, she saw it was not the book she had ordered, but a really old looking flat wooden box.
“This isn't my book.”  She sighed.  Had Ditzy done it again?  Delivered her the wrong package, and had she, herself done it again by being too excited to double check to make sure it was indeed the package she wanted.
Most likely.
“Oh, what's in the box?”  Pinkie peaked over Twilight's shoulder.
“I'm not sure...”  She then noticed a small paper card with her name written on it.  “What's this?”  She then read it.  “Twilight Sparkle.  You have made the 1,000,000th order of Amanezon Books.  As a reward, you will receive a randomly selected prize.  
P.S.  Your book was out of stock, so we regret to inform you that it may take an extra week to deliver.  To apologize, we will reimburse the cost of your order.”
Twilight blinked and smiled.
Everypony gathered around, curious as to what Twilight had won.
“Open it.”  Scootaloo grinned, her head almost between Twilight and the package itself.
“Ok, ok.”  Twilight smiled and opened the box.
The outside may have looked old, but the inside showed that it was indeed old, and had not been opened in a VERY long time.  Dust and cobwebs clung to the old velvet interior.  But resting among these was some piece of jewelry, a large pendant on a fine gold chain.
The moment the sunlight struck the ruby set in the strange spiral design, a crimson light flashed out, engulfing everypony in the meadow.
...
Twilight's eyes snapped open and she sat up.  She blinked and looked around.  For some reason, she felt full of energy.  She shook her head to clear the daze effect in her eyes.
And looked at herself, staring right back, looking really dazed.
“What the?”  She said, but her voice sounded really strange.  She bounced back a bit, and then looked at her forehooves.
“P... Pink?  Why are my hooves... pink?”  She looked back up as herself and her friends were recovering.
'Twilight Sparkle' shook her head, then looked down at the amulet.  She grinned in a very odd way and grabbed it with her teeth and tossed it so it hung from her neck.  “Free at last... It's been so long sense I was trapped in this thing.”  She looked up and at quite a few really confused looking ponies.  “Hmm, I'm in a pony body this time?”  She looked at her sides.  “No wings, so not a Pegasus...”  She tapped her forehead and found a horn.  “Oh-hohoho.  Unicorn...  Ah, I can feel the magic, and I now have it in spades.”  She sounded oddly excited, her tone seeming a mix of curious and upbeat.  She smiled at the ponies who were all giving her really strange stares.
The pink pony spoke up.  “Who are you?  What did you do to me... wait, if I'm in Pinkie Pie's body, and you're obviously not Pinkie Pie... What did you do with her.?”
“Me?  You can call me Terra.  Now, I don't know who this Putrid Pie is, not do I care.  I'm off to have some fun.”  Twilight's possessed body suddenly winked out and was gone.
Fluttershy looked somehow insulted.  “Did... did Twilight just call me Putrid Pie?  I'm not putrid.  I'm Pinkie...”  She turned and saw herself staring at her like she was insane.  “...Pie?  Waaaait a second... If I'm Pinkie Pie... and you're Pinkie Pie... but, there's only one Pinkie Pie and I'm looking at her, then who am I?”  She looked down at a pair of butter yellow hooves, a long, soft pink mane falling into view.  “Oh, I must be Fluttershy.”  She slowly looked up at everypony, all of them looking at themselves and at each other, as though trying to figure out who they were.
Pinkie Pie... um... Twilight Sparkle, then spoke.  “Everypony, listen to me.  All I want is for you to say YOUR name, not the name of the body you are in.”
From Fluttershy's body, with Fluttershy's voice, in a much more upbeat tone came the name “Pinkie Pie.”
From Rarity's body and with her voice came “Ah'm Applejack... What in tarnation?”
Rainbow Dash stared at Rarity in horror, then fainted, one hoof on her forehead.
The pink pony stared.  “That's Rarity, no doubt.”
“Yep, no doubt 'bout that.”  Applejack said while looking at a pair of hooves that were perfectly manicured.  “Ah ponyfeathers...”
A very meek and and nervous 'Applejack' almost whispered “I...I'm Fluttershy.”
A squeaky voice then spoke.  “Why are you guys so big all of a sudden?”  Scootaloo's form sat up.  She looked at her hooves, then at her sides.  “Aw no.... nonononono...  What the heck just happened?”
Pinkie Pie's body held up a hoof.  “I'm Twilight Sparkle.  I think we've all just experienced a mind body transfer...”  She patted her forehead.  “And somepony's just run off with my body...”
“I'm SCOOTALOO?  No.  This can't be...”
“Dashie?”  Rarity's body spoke.  “Y'all in there Sugarcube?”
Dash stared dumbfounded at Rarity.  “Applejack?”  She then spotted her own body.  “Wait... who's in my body?”
“Rarity.”  Twilight sighed.  “Somepony wake her up please?”
...
Twilight was feeling antsy, like she wanted to get up and DO something, anything.  She wanted to run, jump, bounce... she just had so much energy, but she had to control these urges.
She had pointed out to each and everypony who was who, including this 'Terra' who had stolen her own body.
The the tiny Rainbow Dash spoke up.  “Ok... then where's Scootaloo?”
Silence.
“Oh no.”  Twilight paled.  “I think she may be trapped in that pendant...  I have to do some research, fast...  Why is my tail twitching?”
Pinkie Pie and the rest looked up and covered their heads.
Twilight suddenly remembered about Pinkie's Pinkie Sense.  She promptly had a kite crash into her, her head now poking out of it.
“Ow...”  She deadpanned, looking not really impressed.
Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom both rushed up.  Sweetie Belle then spoke.  “Aww, Pinkie, y'all went an busted our kite.  We spent all week makin' it.”
Apple Bloom stared at the small unicorn that had just spoken like a farm pony.  “Wh... what's going on?  Apple Bloom?  Why do you look like me?  What's wrong with my voice?”  Her hooves came up to her throat as she squeaked.
Twilight stared in shock.  “Oh no... We're not the only ones who've been effected...”  She looked around, noting that Lyra and Bon Bon were also present... and Bon Bon was sitting up like Lyra always did, and Lyra was sitting like a normal pony.  It looked like they had not quite noticed just yet.
From the looks of it, there were no other ponies in the area.
“Dear me... Whatever are we going to do now?”  Rarity asked from Rainbow Dash's body.  “Besides set up a much needed appointment at the spa that is...”  She looked at 'her' hooves.
The real Dash paled.  “Oh no you don't.  That's my body, and it's not going into any silly spa.”
“You can't seriously expect me to be trapped in this body and not look my best.”  She then turned to her body.  “Applejack, please do be a dear and try not to muss up my mane or scratch my hooves please?
“What about me?”  Tiny wings beat rapidly, but to no effect.  “I can't fly like this.  I have to train daily to keep myself in top form.  I can't take one day off from my training.”
Rarity looked appalled.  “You cannot possibly intend me to... work out, do you?  I'd get all sweaty.”
Pinkie Pie frowned a little.  “Why am I tired?”  She yawned.  “I feel like I have no energy.”  She lay down, resting her head on her hooves, or rather, Fluttershy's head on Fluttershy's hooves.  She closed her eyes and fell asleep instantly, looking very peaceful.
Twilight was itching to get up and physically do... things.  She didn't know what she wanted to do, she could feel she had so much pent up energy.  (Is this what Pinkie Pie feels like all the time?  I can see why she's always so energetic...)
“Fluttershy?”  Applejack looked at her own body.  “Ya ok?”
“Um... I'm scared.”  The strong farm pony was currently trying to look as small as possible.
“Don'tcha worry Sugarcube, We'll figure this out, somehow.”  Applejack sighed and took the hat off her body and set it on her current head.  “There, Ah feel better.  Was feeling naked without mah hat.”
“Oh please, Applejack... How can you possibly wear that old thing on my exquisite mane?  You'll ruin it.”
“Oh hush Rarity.  Ah ain't gonna be doin no farm work or nuthin like that in this body.  Ain't got the muscle for it.”  At that moment, her horn started glowing and she started being dragged off.  “What the HAAAAAAY!!!”  She quickly disappeared through some bushes.
“Oh no.”  Rarity jumped up.  “My special talent?  Oh dear, it took me a long time to learn to control it so I'd stop being dragged all over the place.  After my body.”  She ran off.
Everypony took off as well, except the now sleeping Pinkie Pie.
Dash tried to run after, but after taking a few steps, her hooves started hurting.  “Ow.  What the heck?”  She looked and frowned.  “Why is Scootaloo wearing ponyshoes that are too small for her?  This really isn't good.”
Sweetie Belle answered.  “Scootaloo?  Don't you remember?  You're living in the Orphanage, and old Miss Meany won't buy you new ones.”
“What?  That's not right... And I'm Rainbow Dash... I'm stuck in Scoots body at the moment.”  She sat back down.  “Say... Is this why Scootaloo is always riding that scooter of hers?”
“Um... I dunno.  She ain't ever said nuthin bout her ponyshoes bein too small.”
“Ok... I understand.  I just need to get to my place and I'll buy Scoots the best ponyshoes I can find in Ponyville.  I guess I kinda owe her for lending me her body...  I just hope we can get this all straitened out.”
Before either of the other fillies could say anything more, they heard two other ponies suddenly scream, and looked toward Lyra and Bon Bon, who were staring in shock at each other.
“I think we should go tell them what's going on so they don't get any more freaked out than they are now.”
...
Applejack had FINALLY stopped being dragged along.  She looked at a rather large boulder, wondering just WHY she had ended up here.
“There you are Darling.”  Rarity ran up, sweating a little, but not even feeling any of the physical exertion.  “Hmm, I must say, Rainbow Dash does keep herself in top form.  I ran all the way here and I'm barely winded.”
“Ah much appreciate it if'n y'all tell me what the hay just happened?”
“You were drawn here by gems.”  She looked at the boulder, here eyes lighting up.  “Oh my.  Is that a geode?” 
“A what?”
“Geode.  A hollow rock with various crystalline or gem growths inside.”  Twilight said, poking her head up over top of the stone in question.
“What the hay?  How'd ya get up there?”
Twilight blinked.  “I... I have no idea...  I was behind Rainbow... um, Rarity, and before I knew it, I was up here.”
Fluttershy finally caught up.  “We sure went far.”  She didn't look tired at all.
Rarity smiled.  “Say, Fluttershy dear?  Do you think you could give that rock a good kick and break it open?”
Twilight growled.  “This really isn't the time for this.”
“Most certainly not, but a Geode this size is quite rare.  I do not wish to pass up this opportunity.”
“It won't be going anywhere Rarity.  Unlike my body, and the amulet that did this to us.  I don't want to be stuck like this forever you know...”  She suddenly resisted the urge to say FOOOORRRREEEVVVVEEERRRR.
...
At that moment.
“Free, free at last.  I can finally get revenge on Discord for trapping me in this talisman...”  Twilight's body grinned, then the grin faded to a frown.  “Hmm, But then again, everything looks... boring.  Where's the chocolate rain?  Where's the floating buildings?  Where's all the fun? ...And what the heck is with that white castle on that mountain?”
Terra shook her new head.  “Did he get defeated or something?  Or did he finally get bored of all that constant chaos?”  She shrugged.  “I bet I'll find my answers at that castle.”
