//------------------------------// // [FIXED] Episode 23: I'M A FIXER, NOT A DOCTOR DANG-IT! // Story: The Life of a Wanted Changeling Season 2: Debt to a Doctor (Comment Driven Story) // by Down with Chrysalis //------------------------------// uuhhh? what needs fixing? what..( sees multiple cutie marks) i must still be dreaming As Applebloom frantically tapdances, more cutiemarks appearing, her sister lifts you over her head, picks up her sister and starts bashing the two of you together yelling "Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it!... Fix it! Fix it! Fix it!" "Stop that, it's not helping! Get a hold of yourself!" Bugzy screams and slaps her upside the head, to which she gives him a death glare. "Sorry." "S'all right, just do somethin' quick! Mah sister's gonna get exhausted at this rate!" Applejack begs you. As Applebloom continues to tap and twirling hops on her nose and tail, you can't help but ask in confusion, "Uhhhh, what's the problem here Applejack? All I see is Applebloom tap dancing and-*flash* You stop mid-sentence when something flashes on Applebloom's upper thigh and the next thing you know, Applebloom has another cutie cutie mark! This one of a dumbbell! Out of nowhere Applebloom picks up a weight that wasn't there before and begins to lift it like it was nothing! You can only stare in shock, before you just shake your head and say, "I... I must be dreaming. When is someling gonna write my name in the Death Notebook? I'd like to wake up screaming no-"*slap* Your rant is stopped when Applejack slaps you across the face. You would have looked at her in shock, but this wasn't the first (or last) time she's hit you. She gives you a glare before she lifts you over her head, picks up her sister, and starts bashing the two of you together while you repeatedly yell in pain because the dumbbell Applebloom had is still in her mouth, so Applejack keeps smashing your face into it while she starts to yell in the tone of a immature adult, "Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it!... Fix it! Fix it! Fix it!" Having had enough of Applejack's nonsense you decide to take drastic measures... *Slap* You slap Applejack upside her head, causing her to gasp in shock and let go of you and Applebloom. While Applebloom goes back to lifting the weight and tap dancing, you just sigh in relief as you put your Panama hat back on your head as you say, "Stop that, it's not helping! Get a hold of yourself!" Applejack shakes off her surprise and gives you her usual death glare. You quake a little in fear at her stare and you quickly mumble a sorry while thinking, You know, after being on the receiving end of her death glare so often, you think I would be used to it by now... Applejack stops giving you the stink eye as she sighs and says, "S'all right, just do somethin' quick! Mah sister's gonna get exhausted at this rate!" You nod your head in agreement. Usually in these kinds of situations you would be running around in a circle like a headless chicken, but since this is a foal that's in trouble, you need to stay serious. You look back to the tap dancing dumbbell lifting filly in front of you and ask, "So.... what do we do?" Applejack gives you a confused expression and says, "I don't know. You're tha fixer here, so... I don't know... fix her!" You give her a "Are you kidding me" look before snarking, Sarcastically ask Applejack why she's not just giving Applebloom bed rest, soup, and random bandages. Reply: "Just cause I'm dressed like the Doctor doesn't mean I'm A Doctor!" "Just cause I'm dressed like the Doctor doesn't mean I'm A Doctor! Besides, shouldn't we just put her to bed, give her some soup, and put some bandages around her extra cutie marks. I'm sure she'll be fine in the morning." Applejack just glares at your sarcasm and says, "Are ya gonna help or not!?" You nod your head quickly before you notice another cutie mark pooping up on Applebloom. You begin to freak out when... Nightshade walks in is excited/jealous that Apple Bloom has a Cutie Mark, but once she realizes the situation is NOT good, she solves the problem by doing what any calm rationally little filly would do: Nightshade: "Hawokuishibaru!" (Clench your teeth!) AJ, AB, and/or you: "What?" Nightshade then proceeds to K.O. Apple Bloom with a Falcon Kick (bonus points if AB slams into Applejack) Nightshade walks in and says, "*Yawn* Daddy, what was all that-" She freezes when she sees Appleblooms cutie marks, she then gasps and says, "Oh wow you got your cutie mark...s? Daddy, can ponies get more then one cutie marks?" "Uh, no sweetie. Apple Bloom is just experiencing a problem that I don't know how to fix." Nightshade nods her head and says, "I got it!" She then walks over to Apple Bloom and says, "Hawokuishibaru!" (Clench your teeth!) "What?" You and Applejack say before Nightshade declares, "FALCON KICK!" before her flame-encased hoof slams into Apple Bloom, scattering the things she was holding, and sending her crashing into the wall. Applejack gasps in shock and screams, "APPLEBLOOM!" But before she can check on her, Applebloom suddenly gets two more cutie marks; one is a super buff muscle and the other is a foreign symbol. Applebloom hops back up and says. "Oh no! Sacrebleu! Plus de marques de cutie! Qu'est-ce c'est?! Je parle prançais?!" (Oh no! Darn it! More cutie marks! What's this?! I speak Prench?!) "My sister's speakin' in fancy!" Applejack declares. N: Daddy, I think she's possessed! You: You're right! (You turn towards AJ and hold her by the shoulders and scream) You: I need a young Celestian Priest, and an Old Celestian Priest! AJ: Now where in the world am I gonna get those this time of night? You: I DON'T KNOW!!! Fine I'll do it myself, I've done this before AJ: You Have? You: Well I watched The Exorcist, so I'm sure I got this AJ facehooves "Daddy, I think she's possessed!" Nightshade says, *ding* "You're right!" Applebloom tries to say no, but it comes out in the aggressive foreign language. You turn towards Applejack, grab her by the shoulders, and scream, "I need a young Celestian Priest, and an Old Celestian Priest!" "Now where in tarnation am I gonna get those this time of night?" You throw your hooves into the air dramatically and scream, "I DON'T KNOW!!! Fine I'll do it myself, I've done this before-" "You Have?" Applejack asks, "Well I watched The Exorcist and Constanpastern, so I'm sure I got this." Applejack facehooves, but when she looks back up, you and Nightshade have already tied Applebloom up. She screams in horror, "What in tarnation are you two do-" Ignoring her, you and Nightshade pull out two sticks that were in the room and begin to, You: Unholy Demon who hath infected this child, I call you out, in the Name of the Sun! Applebloom gets another cutiemark You: Curse you unholy Abomination, THE SUN SHINES ON ALL! THE POWER OF THE SUN COMPELS YOU! THE POWER OF THE SUN COMPELS YOU! IN THE NAME OF THE SUN I CAST YOU OUT!!!! PRAISE THE SUN!!! "Unholy Demon who hath infected this child, I call you out, in the Name of the Sun! Into the light I command thee!" Applebloom gets another cutie mark. You begin to chant louder, "Curse you unholy Abomination, THE SUN SHINES ON ALL! THE POWER OF THE SUN COMPELS YOU! THE POWER OF THE SUN COMPELS YOU! IN THE NAME OF THE SUN I CAST YOU OUT!!! INTO THE LIGHT I COMMAND THEE!!!" Nothing happens, though you hear the DFV groaning in what sounds like pain before she shouts DFV: Stop It! It's clearly not working, just stop you idiot! (pained/panicked) Applebloom instead gets a sun cutiemark with a face in it. AB: Hoho! Let us engage in Jolly Co-operation (she gets a sword out of nowhere and runs towards the door before AJ stops her) AJ: No you don't young lady, What do we do now? You: I don't know, I'm out of ideas...wait! Applebloom, did you drink that liquid after I told you not too? AB: Yes... You: AHA! I should have known. The Pink Menace did this! AJ: Pinkie? But why would Pinkie Pie... You: Applebloom said it was a new recipe, The Pink Psycho is testing it out and will soon unleash it onto the populace. AJ: That don't make a lick of sense, why would she do that? You: Because EVIL!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!! Nothing seems to be happening, although you hear the DFV groaning in what sounds like pain before she shouts, Stop It! It's clearly not working, just stop you idiot! You ignore the DFV and are about to repeat the chant when Applebloom gets a sun cutiemark with a face in it. "Hoho! Let us engage in Jolly Co-operation!" Apple bloom says as a sword pops out of nowhere into her mouth. She uses the sword to slice the ropes off her and she runs past Nightshade towards the door before Applejack grabs her. "Oh no you don't young lady! What do we do now?" "I don't know, I'm out of ideas... Wait!" Realizing something, you ask Apple Bloom, "Applebloom, did you drink that liquid after I told you not too?" "Yes..." she says after hesitating for a while. "AHA! I should have known. The Pink Menace did this!" "Pinkie? But why would Pinkie Pie-" "Applebloom said it was a new recipe, right?" you ask rhetorically, "The Pink Psycho is testing it out and will soon unleash it onto the populace!" "That don't make a lick of sense, why would she do that?" "Because EVIL!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Applejack and even Nightshade just look at you like you've lost your mind before Applejack says, "Maybe magic... nah magic won't work." You suddenly get an idea, but for some reason it won't come to you. So you decide to try and think of it. But you keep getting distracted by Applejack, who keeps walking back and forth mumbling ideas of how to fix Applebloom. So, you don a Trottingham Highland accent and say, "Shut up." Applejack looks at you confused and starts to say something, but you inter-up her by saying, "Shut up, shut up, shut up. Just shut up. Shuttity up up up, shut up!" When everyling in the room shuts up, you then ask her, "What did you say?" She mumbles in confusion, which causes you to yell, "SPEAK YOU BACKWARDS MARE! WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" She then back up a bit at your outburst and says, "I... I said magic wo-" You cut her off and say, "That's it... magic! Magic, magic, magic. Where have I... Ah ha!" You suddenly get a flashback to one of your Grandbuggys great words of wisdom, You see Apple Bloom with that strange ill or problem and you try a healing potion in Apple Bloom, but it don't work. After you see it don't work, you decide to try to search for the great wise of your Grandbuggy Flashback You remember one time you and your grandbuggy worked foalsitting GB: Ahhh!!!! He is infected with magic!!! B: What? Is only a little cold, I think he only need a little of dandelion soup and rest GB: Idiot! That don't work! Magic must defeat Magic! Say your grandbuggy and take out a strange mask, similar to the ones in Zecora house as he begin to do a strange dance around the poor foal and try a strange purple potion in the poor foal End of Flashback You take out the image of the Grandbuggy, and you think... "I can only fix something physical... Give me something broken and I could try to fix it... This is magic! As my Grandbug... I mean, grandpony say... Magic Must defeat magic!" Say Bugzee "I told you, but you didn't listen!" Say Granny Smith "Yeah... Yeah... So... Magic?" Ask Applejack "Magic" You answer Is then that you follow Applejack to the library, the little piece of Tartarus that is the home of that evil unicorn. You remember one time you and your grandbuggy worked foalsitting, "Ahhh!!!! He is infected with magic!!!" Grandbuggy screams. "What? It's only a little cold grandbuggy, I think he only need a little of dandelion soup and rest-" "Idiot! That don't work! Magic must defeat Magic!" Grandbuggy snaps before he takes out a strange mask similar to the ones in Zecora house as he begin to do a strange dance around the poor foal and try a strange purple potion on him. After awhile, a strange green blob came out of the foal's mouth. Grandbuggy smiled at his work and said, "See #$#%%$ that's how you exco-" "Uh Grandbuggy?" "Huh? Yes @#$3?" "What happens if the magic starts to come to life?" "Oh that's simple, we run like Tarturus." You point behind him to show that the green blob of magic is now glowing and has red eyes. Grandbuggy looks at it for a while before turning back to you while whistling, "Woooo...didn't see that coming." ... "RUN!" BACK TO THE PRESENT You pace back and forth and make wild hoof gestures as everypony in the room looks at you strangely while you ramble, "I can only fix something physical... Give me something broken and I could try to fix it... This is magic! As my Grandbug... I mean, grandpony says... Magic Must defeat magic!" "I told you, but you didn't listen!" Granny Smith yells from downstairs, You can't help but think, What the? How did she hear us? Where upstairs and shes downstairs-never mind. Tell plan now, think about how a elder heard us later. With reluctance, you explain your plan, "Your friend Twilight is some sort of magic expert, right?" "Well Twi is the element of magic-" "Whatever, the point is she could know what's wrong with Apple Bloom and how to fix it!" "By tarnation, yer right!" Applejack exclaims as she hugs you before grabbing Apple Bloom and taking her to Twilight's. When she leaves the room, you have Nightshade hop back into the Inventory, run after Applejack and say, "Good, you guys find the cure, I' gonna go to the pony who made this magical potion disease. EVILLLLLL!" You then run off in an opposite direction... AJ: Wait Tennant! Grrr, that ain't gonna end well AB: Pinkie can handle herself, please sis, I'm begging you help me AJ: Fine, we'll get Twilight. "Wait Tennant! Grrr, that ain't gonna end well." Applejack growls, "Pinkie can handle herself, please sis, I'm begging you, help me!" "Fine, lets get to Twilights!" Applejack declares as she gallops towards the library. AT SUGARCUBE CORNER A FEW HOURS LATER You kick down the door to Sugar Cube Corner and rush in. You: Pink Menace! I call you out Suddenly the lights come on P: Surprise You: Gaaahhh!!! (you fall back in fear, apparently she set up a party for you) P: Hi, My Pinkie Sense told me someone was coming to surprise me, so I decided to surprise them first. Were you surprised? Were You? You: Eee...heh heh(catching breath...viill P: Hee Hee, no I'm Pinkie Pie. You came looking for a job, but I said we weren't hiring, but then I tried to throw a party for you since you were new, but you growled and said no and called me mean names and made me cry, but then I figured you were just having a bad day, but I still felt sad so I had Applejack pelt you with Apples and call it Dodge training, so now we're even, and look you finally came to your party!!! You: I...What? P: We also worked together to win the Apple Cider contest, nice moves by the way, and then you made Dashie cry, but then you were nice and made her like you a lot and you made AJ jealous and then we had more cider and...(you shove your hoof in her mouth) After a few hours of running around town looking for Sugarcube Corner (your sense of direction is almost as bad as Zoro's) you kick down the door to Sugar Cube Corner and rush in screaming, "Pink Menace I call the out, put thou hands in thi air and *Ahem* dang what was with that ye olden talk, why-!" Suddenly the lights come on and a pink form pops up right in your face! "SURPRISE!" "Gaaahhh!!!" You fall back in fear, not noticing the cake and "Welcome to Ponyville" Banner. "Hi, My Pinkie Sense told me someone was coming to surprise me, so I decided to surprise them first. Were you surprised? Were You?" "Eee... heh heh... viill" you gasp while trying to catch your breath. "Hee Hee, no I'm Pinkie Pie. You came looking for a job, but I said we weren't hiring, but then I tried to throw a party for you since you were new, but you growled and said no and called me mean names that made me sad before leaving, but then I figured you were just having a bad day, but I still felt sad so I had Applejack pelt you with Apples and call it 'Dodge training', so now we're even and look you finally came to your party!!!" "I... What?" you say in confusion, but Pinkie just continues rambling. "Normally Mr. Cake would come down and yell at me to be quiet since Mrs. Cake is pregnant, but since they're visiting Mr. Cake's parents for the next few days, WE CAN BE AS LOUD AS WE WANT! We also worked together to win the Apple Cider contest, nice moves by the way, and then you made Dashie cry, but then you were nice and made her like you a lot and you made AJ jealous and then we had more cider and-mmph!" You roughly jam your hoof into Pinkie's mouth to shut her up and scream in the Royal Canterlot Voice, "QUIET!" You: Alright, enough talking Psycho, you are going to pay for your crimes. WHY DID YOU POISON APPLEBLOOM! P: (GASP) I POISONED APPLEBLOOM?! OH NO! HOW COULD I HAVE DONE SUCH A HORRIBLE THING?! Wait, I haven't seen Applebloom since her friends brought her in for a party to cheer her up, but it didn't work. You: Liar, she drank a purple liquid that she said she got from you and that it was your new recipe, and now she's growing cutiemarks and can't stop! P: I did? I don't remember doing that. But if she says it was me, then I must've You: That's right, and I'm here to stop you before you infect the others and take over Equestria with your insane hoof P: Oh NO! What kind of Monster am I? I must be stopped! Take me in, please! You: I won't stop untill...wait, huh? P: Take me in. You: ...I kind of thought we would battle or something P: Why? If I'm making horrible super weapons and not remembering them then I need help before I hurt anyone else. You: Oh...Well...OK Then let's... You both hear a scream outside P: Oh NO! What Have I done now? You both look outside and see ponies running away in fear, and some with Hazmat suits on as Applebloom keeps doing different things and is covered in CutieMarks "Alright, enough talking Psycho! You are going to pay for your crimes. WHY DID YOU POISON APPLEBLOOM?!" Pinkie gasps in horror as she recoils from your hoof, "I POISONED APPLEBLOOM?! OH NO! HOW COULD I HAVE DONE SUCH A HORRIBLE THING?! Wait, I haven't seen Applebloom since her friends brought her in for a party to cheer her up, but it didn't work." "Liar, she drank a purple liquid that she said she got from you and that it was your new recipe, and now she's growing Cutie Marks and can't stop!" you accuse. "I did? I don't remember doing that. But if she says it was me, then I must've-" "That's right," you interrupt "and I'm here to stop you before you infect the others and take over Equestria with your insane plan to turn them all into cupcakes and wear their leftover skin!" "Oh NO! What kind of Monster am I? I must be stopped! Take me in, please!" "I won't stop until- wait, huh?" you say in confusion, "Take me in." Pinkie says as she shamefully puts her head down and offers her hooves. You stand there in confusion and subconsciously reach for hoof-cuffs when you remember, Uh... wait. I don't have any cuffs! Shaking your head to snap you out of it, you say, "Really? I kinda thought you would start ranting about your plans before sucker-punching me and jumping out that window so we would have some climactic carriage chase that destroys half the town before we engage in a one-on-one brawl which ends with you standing over me about to bring down the knife onto my skull before my partner pulls a 'Big Darn Heroes' and shoots you in the back of the head and then either me or her spouts off some awesome one-liner as your lifeless body falls over?" "Why? If I'm making horrible super weapons and not remembering them then I need help before I hurt anyone else." "Oh... Well... Anticlimactic, but OK. Then let's..." You're about to take out your duct tape when both hear a scream outside, "Oh NO! What Have I done now?" You both rush to a window, look outside, and see ponies running away in fear (some with Hazmat suits on) as Applebloom keeps doing different things and is covered in Cutie Marks. You see Zecora, Applejack, and Twilight standing in the middle of the road... You drag Pinkie to AJ, Twilight and Zecora who explains that the Cutie Pox vaccine is through a flower that only blooms with truth. You: Alright then, Confess you fiend P: It's true, I poisoned her and was planning on doing the same thing to the town even though I don't remember it...(she turns to you) right? You: Right Pinkie: Forgive me! (starts bawling) The Flower doesn't bloom AJ: Pinkie, only the truth will make this flower grow You: That wasn't the truth? P: I'm not a super genius criminal mastermind? Yay! You: Dang it! So Close! You rush out of Sugarcube Corner and drag Pinkie to Applejack, Twilight and Zecora who all look at you in shock, "Mister Tennnat! What are you doing?" Twilight asks in shock, "Not much, just capturing a psycho criminal mastermind- Oh hi Zecora, what're you doing here?" "I was walking along like a fox, when I heard this business of the Cutie Pox." "Cutie Pox?" you ask in confusion That disease sounds familiar, but it was probably ANOTHER class I either skipped or slept through... DARN YOU LAZY PAST ME!!! "it's a puzzling pony plague afflicted a population of ponies back in the paleopony period!" "Heh, say that ten times fast!" you snark. "I already used that joke!" you hear Spike yell in the distance. Twilight rolls her eyes in annoyance and says, "Apple Bloom has it, but Zecora thinks she has the cure!" "Good, good, good! Ahhh. Great!" you say. ... "What is it?" you ask Zecora. "As I have already said before, so pay attention for I will repeat no more; A cutie pox cure I have forsooth, for healing power is in the Seeds of Truth. These seeds must be planted in the ground. With the truth, they'll grow, and the cure is found. The Seeds of Truth do hold the cure, but one must speak words, true and pure." "Alright then, Confess you fiend!" you say as you roughly push Pinkie towards the trio causing Applejack and Twilight to scowl at you. "It's true, I poisoned her and was planning on doing the same thing to the town even though I don't remember it... (she turns to you) right?" "Right." you say as their scowls at your quickly turn into shocked looks at Pinkie. "Forgive me!" (starts bawling) "Just make it stop! Oh, make it stop!" The Flower doesn't bloom. "Pinkie, only the truth will make this flower grow." Applejack says. "That wasn't the truth?" You ask in disbelief. "I'm not a super genius criminal mastermind who want to turn ponies into cupcakes and wear their skin? Yay!" Pinkie jumps up in the air and freezes in the air like in those old sit-com serials as you mutter, "Luna darnit! So close!" Twilight looks at you suspiciously, but you quickly nervously chuckle it off as everypony starts to say the truths, "I once burned a book and never told anypony." said Twilight "I drink all the cider before cider season started last year on a dare from Rainbow Dash!" said Applejack "I ate all the cakes the Fillydelphian Royal Guard got back from that meanie old ugly Hooded Offender and blamed it on him!" said Pinkie Hey! I am not ugly! And they say I'm the bad guy, yet you did that! I have half a mind to-Gah never mind. I need to think of something to say since now everyling is staring at me to say something... So... The seeds of truth Zecora planted aren't sprouting! Ponies have been saying the truth, but nothing's happening! Tell them you don't want to mate with Applejack. I'm not going to say that! So you DO want to mate with Applejack? No! She's right there! And so are her hooves. And my face isn't far enough away from them. Very well. Call Celestia a fat flank. "I'm not going to call Celestia a fat flank!" You freeze, realizing you just said that out loud. Incredibly, a stem of a flower grows from the ground. Twilight gasps. "Discord's magic must still be taking an effect! The seeds of truth will only grow from lies now! Keep going, Mr. Tennant!" You gulp. "Uh, my daughter was born in an alternate dimension inside my saddle bags?" The flower grows again. "I'm living my life indebted to a time machine riding immortal being!" The flower begins to bloom. "I once beat Contra without using the thirty lives cheat!" The flower blooms in full, and you die a little inside, knowing that everypony will think that was a lie. No one will ever know your true greatness. Tell them you don't wish to mate with Applejack. the DFV suddenly says, What? I'm not going to say that! So you DO want to mate with Applejack? No! She's right there! And so are her hooves. And my face isn't far enough away from them. Although she does have really well-toned leg- NO! BAD BUG!!! Very well. Call the false sun "goddess" a fat flank... "I'm not going to call Celestia a fat flank!" You freeze and throw your hooves over your mouth hidden beneath the face mask and scarf, realizing you just said that out loud. Incredibly, a stem of a flower sprouts from the ground, Twilight gasps, "Discord's magic must still be taking an effect! The seeds of truth will only grow from lies now! Keep going, Mr. Tennant!" You gulp. "Uh, my daughter was born in an alternate dimension inside my saddle bags?" The flower grows again. "I'm HUGELY in debt to a time machine-riding immortal madman of a alien!" "I blinked in front of a Weeping Pegasus and lived!" "I'm Equestria's Most Wanted!" "I'm banned from the Isla de Pelegostos Island, Freddy Fuzzbear's Pizza, and Olive Grotto!" "Applejack is a dumb flank." (this got you a scowl from the cowpony) "My Grandpony once got us chased by a zillion mares cause he was trying to teach me how to make a "flank call"." "I once beat Contra before breakfast without using the thirty lives cheat!" The flower grows and blooms more with every "lie" and you die a little inside, knowing that Nopony will ever know your true greatness... When the flower blooms, Zecora plucks the seed for the potion and thanks you. The After all the ponies leave and congratulate Bugze for getting the bud to grow, Bugze thinks in sadness, Why is it that all MY truths are the only ones that worked? Now everyling thinks they're lies. I really hate that bad luck potion and Lady luck. You are about to walk away when the plant suddenly starts to grow. You back away in shock when the plant spells out "THE NIGHTMARE COMES" Then, the plant suddenly burst into flames! You stare at it with fear and shock and can only think, Holy mother of Luna... Doctor needs to know about this... Now! Your about to take out a notebook to write the Doctor a note, when Applejack shouts, "Come on Hon-I mean Mister Tennant! Ah need ya help making sure Applebloom doesn't hurt herself while Zecora can make the cure!" You sigh and are about to respond when, "I'm on it!" You look down in surprise to see Nightshade out of the Inventory and heading towards Apple Bloom with intent to try another Falcon Kick. "Oh no you don't!" you say as you grab your daughter in time. That note will have to wait till later... HALF AN HOUR LATER You sigh for the millionth time time that day as you think, Why me... After Applebloom was cured and wrote a letter to Solar Flank, she and Nightshade ran off with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. Applejack then said that since it's a Friday and the schoolhouse was closed due to the whole "Cutie Pox" scare, your "job" for the rest of the day is to watch over the little ones. It's not that you don't mind watching them, it's just that you were hoping to finish that movie/anime marathon with Nightshade later. You smile a little as you watch Nightshade and the CMC rushing towards the apple field laughing and having fun. You can't help but think, Oh well, how bad can it b- You quickly stop when you realize you almost thought the cliche that guarantees bad luck. Unnoticed by you, a evil, female voice, laughs in the distance, and thunder ring's throughout the area. You get a shiver down your spin and you can't help but think, Why do I get the feeling that I just jinxed myself... again What do you do?
