Like, Whatevar!
"Wind Whistler... i-is that you?" Paradise asked in disbelief. "Girls, what in the world has happened to you?!"
"Awww, knock it off, Paradise! We are so, like, tired of hearing ya whine about nothing!" Windy snorted, as the other two stood behind her and giggled. "Why do ya forget about yer lame-o questions, and totally join us for a hooficure!"
The white Pegasus shook her head in disbelief, only able to stand there and watch as the trio of airheads trotted away from her. She simply couldn't believe her eyes when these three returned from the mastificent forest, complete with bubbly personalities, and enough brains between the three of them to fill a thimble. She could only watch in shock as the ponies she thought she knew act like total goofballs.
"Wow, these main curlers are in waaaaay too tight!" Shady called out, when they were sitting under the dyers at the salon. "I think it's, like cutting off the blood flow to my brain!"
"Awww, don't be so silly, girlfriend!" Gusty replied, chewing on a wad of gum. "We don't, like have any brains ta cut off the oxygen to!"
After Fifi had finished with their manes, they all came trotting out, and Paradise's eyes nearly bulged out of her head. Big and curly 80's, coats died in wild colors, big hoop earrings, and heavy doses of makeup and mascara smothering their faces! The other ponies did a double take as the trio passed by, uncertain if they were even looking at the three mares they knew or not.
"Like, can you believe Nightshade's newest album? So totally rad, man!" Wind Whistler giggled, singing the lyrics in her sweet voice. "I'm good! I'm good! I'm really really good!"
"Jeah, he was so hawt up there on stage!" Gusty agreed, blowing a bubble with the gum she was chewing on. "But can you believe the outfits his backup singers were wearing? Soooo tacky!"
"You know... we could, like, do a sooooo much better job singing up there on stage then those cheap dime store floozies!" Shady interjected, suddenly getting an idea. "It would be sooo amazing being up on stage with a cutie like Nightshade!"
"Hey, isn't he holding a concert at the grand opening of the Ponyville amusement park next week?" Gusty asked, hopping up and down excitedly. "We could, like, so totally get on stage, and show Nightshade who the hottest backup singers in Ponyland are!"
"Girls, no offense.... but you two, like, totally can't hold a candle ta me, when it comes to singing!" The blue Pegasus shook her head.
"Oh, that's like, totally okay! We can just sing will quietly, and let you, like, carry us!" Shady replied. "But we'd better, like, go to Bright Valley, and get our manes and hooves done tomorrow!"
"But Shady, we like, just had makeovers!" Wind Whistler added, looking over their new manes and hairdos. "Why would we, like, need them again so quick?"
"Ewwww, stop thinking, Windy! You're, like, making my head hurt!" Gusty grumbled, putting a hoof on her head. "Leave the thinking to a smart pony, like Fizzy!"
The three mares then trot away, leaving a stupefied Paradise behind them.
"I-I can't believe this! It's like the frazit fiasco all over again!" The white mare moaned sadly, shaking her head. "But this time, everybody's been turned into a bubbly bimbo!"
But when the mare looked to the ground, and noticed a part of a plant with several blue leaves lying on the ground. Paradise realized that it must have fallen out of Wind Whistler's saddle bag, and trotted up to get a closer look at the odd vine.
"Poison Joke!?! Of course! It all makes sense now!" The white Pegasus exclaimed, recognizing the plant from her readings. "They must've come into contact with this stuff in the mastificent forest!"
Covering her wings in a layer of cloth to prevent contact, Paradise scooped the piece of plant material into a small plastic bag, and trotted down the hallway. "I need to find some help, and see if we can get this whole mess straightened out!"
The mare looked desperately around the castle, but could find no trace of Twilight, Galaxy, or Magic Star (not that Paradise was sure the lich mare would want to help, anyway). In her frantic search through all the passageways and corridors, Paradise finally ran across Fizzy, the twinkle-eyed pony who was already a natural bubble-brain, on her own.
"Hey Paradise, what's up?" The blue unicorn giggled, watching the other pony run back and forth in a hurry. "You playing hide and seek or something? Ohhh wait, can I be it?"
"Not now, Fizzy! Three of our friends are under an enchantment!" Paradise exclaimed, holding the bag with the poison joke in her wing. "I need to find one of the castle's smart unicorns to help me!"
But Paradise had not been paying attention to what was going on around her, her head turning in every direction as she looked for help. It was then to her horror, that she looked back and found the bag in her hoof open, and the plant inside gone!
"Mmmmmm, Paradise!" Fizzy proclaimed, happily munching on the blue-leaved plant. "This plant you got tastes really, really good!"
"No, Fizzy don't eat that!" Paradise pleaded, shaking the mare as she swallowed the poison joke. "You'll get so dumb, you'll forget to breath!"
The unicorn mare's head fell back, and her her body began to twitch and shake. She collapsed backward after a few minutes, and her crystal eyes rolled back into her head.
"Fizzy, are you okay?" Paradise asked in a panic, picking her friend up off the castle floor. "Speak to me, please!"
"But of course, my good Paradise!" Fizzy replied, suddenly pulling a pair of glasses out of nowhere. "On what subject, study, or topic would you care to converse?"
"Oh great B'zekre!" Paradise fell back, fainting in shock from what had just come out of Fizzy's mouth.
