Chapter 2: The Toby and George switcharoo

The next few days went by like any other in Ponyville, and Toby was out with Silver Spoon, in her Anthro form, "You guys must've been amazing in the battle," Silver Spoon said, as they got some ice cream.

"To be honest, it was nerve wracking with all that power," Toby said, as he fed his fillyfriend some of her ice cream, which she wagged her tail. Toby loved it when she wagged her tail.

"I'll say it was. I heard you guys destroyed at least twelve acres of land where the fight took place," Silver Spoon said, as she fed Toby his ice cream.

"Did we, really?" Toby asked, which Silver Spoon nodded, "Wow, must've gone a little overboard with the attacks," he commented, feeding the gray filly.

"Well, if it was to defeat that awful monster, then it was well worth it," Silver Spoon replied, as she fed Toby.

"Yeah, I have to agree with you on that," Toby said, as he fed Silver Spoon the last of her ice cream, as Silver Spoon fed Toby the last of his.

"Well, I heard there's some carnival games in town, why not we go play some?" Silver Spoon suggested, brushing her tail under Toby's chin. Toby really loved it when she brushed her tail under his chin. With a vigorous nod, Toby and Silver Spoon made their way to the carnival grounds.


"Alright Number Two, what is plan?" George asked his partner.

"Well, there's a look a like of you in this trashy town, so if we can get him out of the picture, we can use it as an opportunity to get closer to the Canterlot Jewel vaults," the stallion replied.

"Hmm, a fiendishly clever idea, but how to execute it?" George pondered, when he saw his double with Silver Spoon, getting some lemonade, "Ah, I think I have plan," George said evilly, "I will wait in bathrooms. The little kid over there has to go to the bathroom at some point in time," he explained.

"Good idea," the stallion said, as George left to the bathrooms, completely unnoticed by the on lookers.


"Alright, last ball, and I just need one last stack of bottles," Toby said, as he tried aiming at the last stack of bottles at a carnival game. With a concentrated mind, Toby threw the ball, knocking down all the bottles, winning the game.

"Alright kid, what do you want?" the game vendor asked.

"See anything you want babe?" Toby asked Silver Spoon, who giggled at her nickname.

"Well, I really want that seal," Silver Spoon replied, pointing at a white seal plushy. The vendor took down the doll, and gave it to the gray filly, "So Sweetie Pie, what do you want to do now?" she asked.

"Well, I need to use the bathroom real quick, so I'll be right back," Toby replied, as he walked over to the bathroom. As soon as he entered the bathroom, he was hit on the back of his head, knocking him out. Then, a mysterious figure loomed over him, and planted a fake mole on his lip.

"Alright, now for his glasses," George said, taking Toby's glasses, and using some tan colored makeup to cover his mole, "Its not easy being mean," he said, as he wrapped Toby in his cloak, and took his jacket, and walked out of the bathroom.

Waking up from being knocked out, Toby looked around, for any trace of who or what knocked him out. He then noticed his jacket and glasses were missing, and he was wearing a black cloak, "Where did this come from?" Toby asked himself, before he remembered what he had come in for.


Walking out of the bathroom, George, disguised as Toby, was trying to look as inconspicuous as possible. He thought he was in the clear, before a voice called out, "SWEETIE PIE! Over here!" George turned to see Silver Spoon waving at him. He realized his disguise was perfect, because he thought that if Silver Spoon thought he was Toby, he could fool anybody, "You sure got out fast Toby," Silver Spoon said.

Realizing he didn't sound like Toby, George did the next best thing; impersonating the young child, "Uh, yes, that's right, yeah, I'm Toby," 'Toby' said, trying to act natural.

"You ok? Your voice sounds a bit scratchy," Silver Spoon asked.

"Oh, well, it might've been something I drank, may have gone down the wrong pipe," 'Toby' lied.

"Well, why don't we continue walking around the carnival?" Silver Spoon asked, wagging her tail.

"Sure, but don't wag you tail," 'Toby' said, which etched a look of confusion on Silver Spoon's face.

"But, I thought you said you love it when I wag my tail?" the gray filly asked.

"I did? Oh, uh, I mean of course! How forgetful of me," 'Toby' lied.

"So, does that mean I can wag it?" Silver Spoon asked.

"Of course, it makes you more cuter that way," 'Toby' lied, 'This Toby kid has weird taste in girls,' he thought to himself, as the two walked around.


After exiting the bathroom, Toby looked around for his filly friend, only to see that she had disappeared, "Where'd she go?" Toby asked himself.

"Its him!" Toby heard a mare cry, as everyone at the fair grounds glared daggers at him.

"Its George Cunningham!" a stallion called, as the authorities came in.

"W-wait, don't any of you recognize me?" Toby asked, as the guards slapped cuffs on him.

"Its all over George," the lead guard said.

"W-wait, my name is Toby Mason! You guys have the wrong human!" Toby cried, as he was thrown into a prison cart, and was taken away.


After spending the next few hours with Silver Spoon, George was escorted back to Toby's home, "I had a really great time today Sweetie Pie," Silver Spoon said, as she leaned in for a kiss, which 'Toby' reluctantly returned.

"As did I cupcake," 'Toby' lied.

"Well, I guess I'll see you later then," Silver Spoon said, brushing her tail under 'Toby's' chin.

"I will see you later too, my love," 'Toby' said. Once the gray filly was out of sight, George spat, "BLECH! I can't believe this 'Toby' boy would kiss such a brat," he complained to himself, as he opened the door, and entered the cottage.

"Oh, Toby, we were just waiting for you," Ashley said, as Serenity came and hugged her 'brother', not knowing he was the escaped convict.

"Well, I'm here now, aren't I?" 'Toby' asked, just as he felt something jabbing his leg. He looked down to see a white bunny, not looking pleased to see him.

"Angel, shame on you!" Fluttershy scolded, "You know better than to try and hurt Toby," she added, giving Angel a very angry glare. Angel chittered, but Fluttershy held up a hoof, "I don't want to here it! There won't be any carrot cake for you tonight, mister," she scolded.

"Don't be so hard on him," 'Toby' said.

"I don't want to be, but he needs to be punished for trying to hurt you," Fluttershy said.

"Well, I'm tired, so I will go to bed now," 'Toby' lied, for he had a plan, once everyone was asleep.

"Well, alright, Serenity, why don't you go with him?" Fluttershy asked, as she and Ashley kissed the filly and the 'boy', on their heads, as the two went upstairs.


A few hours later, after making sure the green filly was fast asleep, along with everyone else in the house, George quietly snuck out of the house, and ran towards where he was meeting his partner. After a few minutes, George had arrived at an abandoned warehouse. Opening the door, he saw his partner standing over a table, "Sorry I am late Number Two, but it took a long time for everyone to fall asleep," George said.

"No matter. Here's the plan; I've already scouted the museum for any cameras around where our objective is. Thankfully, there weren't any. I have the copies of the paintings right here," Bowser said, holding up some scrolled posters.

"Good work Number Two. If we pull this crime off, our names will go down in history as the first living creatures to steal the royal Canterlot Jewels! My name first, then space bar, space bar, space bar, your name," George said, as he stroked the keys on a piano that was conveniently in the warehouse. He and Bowser wondered who had put it there in the first place, or why a piano was in a ware house.
