The Unfinished Verse

Author's Note:

I am so sorry for the late update, I had to study for my exams... Then I wrote a few paragraphs... Then I forgot about this because of my other story... Then writer's block... Then I forgot agian... Then more writer's block... Then laziness again... SORRY!!!

Anywho, I'm nearing the end of this story. Expect about one or two chapters after this one. So, back to the story... Also, in my lazy rush (Yes, that's a thing), I did not get this proofread so... yeah... Enjoy!

"To turn a vampony back to a stallion or mare, first you must get a strand of the first's hair."

Check (Done in "First off, Flutterbat!")

"Then you get one of them to give up their thirst, they must show you enough love to break the curse."

Check (Done in "How to Make Twilight Love You")

"Last and foremost to make them all tame, you must get them to utter-"

Not check... hmm..

Oh, and yeah, I decided to start this chapter directly after the last one... Enjoy!

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. As, the moon went to sleep, the CMC woke up with tears forming on their faces; their sisters were gone. Twilight saw this and tried to cheer them up. "Don't cry girls. This just proves that they love you." said Twilight.

"What do ya mean?" asked Applebloom.

"They left us alone again." said Scootaloo.

"How does that show their love for us?" asked Sweetie Belle.

"They left me this note." replied Twilight. "They knew that their hunger would take over again after Heart's Warming. They wanted to make sure you guys were safe so they left before you woke up so that they could distance themselves from you." The three fillies cheered up as they had come to the same realization, that no matter what happens, their sisters and friends would always love them.

Moments later, Spike decided to join his friends in the realm of the awake. "Hey Twilight, hey guys."

"Good morning Spike." said Twilight. Twilight was about to ask what Spike wanted for breakfast, but then remembered something more important. "Hey, do you still have that page with the spell to reverse the bat pony transformations?"

"Uh, yeah..." Spike said. He had recently learned that his fire not only sends stuff to the Princesses, but it can also store stuff in a personal space that can only be accessed through his fire. With one breath, he poofed up the page. "Here ya go."

"Thanks, come on guys, we're heding to Zecora's." said Twilight.

"Huh, why?" asked Spike and the CMC simultaneously.

"She speaks in rhymes, she might be able to help us here." replied Twilight.

Stealth, a secret, quiet, and clever way of moving or behaving. The gang stealthily made their way to their destination; "The Hut." They were silent. Like a shadow in the night, they moved in on their targeted goal. They-

"Spike! Shut up already. We're supposed to e quiet so that nopony will hear us, and here you are narrating our every move!" Twilight scolded. Spike chuckled.

"Hehe... Sorry Twi..." said Spike.

"I kinda liked it. It made us seem like spies!" said Scootaloo.

"Wait, that gives me an idea!" said Applebloom.

"I think I know where this is going." said Sweetie Belle. In their loudest voices ever, they all shouted.

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS: SPY AGEN-"

"Shhh!!!" scolded Twilight. "Do you want to get eaten?" The three fillies mouthed a 'sorry' before they all continued towards Zecora's hut.

As they arrived, they noticed that Zecora's door was locked. On the door, there was a note. It read 'If you ever need me, in the library I shall be...' Twilight facehoofed... She went all the way here just to find out that Zecora wasn't at home. They were almost going to leave when Zecora appeared. "Aren't you going to stay? I know you have something to say." Twilight's jaw dropped.

"But you said that you were in the library, why aren't you-" Zecora stopped her before she could freak out.

"Don't say a word, your noise will scare the birds." Twilight looked less than amused. Sure, just because she tends to overreact, doesn't mean she would always do so... Besides, she hasn't freaked out recently... Oh wait...

"OH MY GOSH I'M A FEW SECONDS LATE FOR MY PICNIC WITH THE GIRLS! SPIKE HELP!!!" screamed Twilight. She then proceeded to rampage across her home flipping every table, eating every pie, and tripping every Spike.

They all made their way inside. As soon as they were all settled, Twilight spoke. "Zecora, we have a problem. Most of the ponies in Ponyville have turned into vampire bat ponies!" said Twilight in the calmest manner she could muster in this situation, in other words, she was freaking out again.

"Why then do you need me? I do not know how to cure a bat pony." said Zecora.

"Yes, but you always speak in rhymes, correct?" asked Spike. Zecora had a face that was a mix of a deadpanned and insulted look.

"Wow, just because I like speaking in rhyme, doesn't mean I do it all the time." said Zecora.

"But you just did." said Applebloom.

"That was just a coincidence." replied Zecora.

"Huh, I didn't know you could talk without making a rhyme." said Scootaloo.

"Of course I can! Rhyming just makes me sound more mysterious and wise." said Zecora.

"So how'd you learn to speak in rhyme all the time?" asked Sweetie Belle.

"My parents were poets. We used to play a game, the last one to speak in rhyme would win." replied Zecora.

"CAN WE PLEASE GET BACK TO THE MATTER AT HOOF?!" Twilight was now in state two of her freaking-out mode, soon enough, when her final form would activate, her mane and tail would burst into flames and she'd get the creepiest smile ever with a bird's nest hat.

"Anywho, calm down Twilight. I swear, you freak out more than anypony I know!" said Zecora. Twilight just gave a sheepish smile.

"Sorry..."

"Now, as I was saying, why do you need me for this?" asked Zecora.

"Well, we found a ancient cure for this exact situation, but the last part got ripped off. We were hoping you could help." said Spike.

"How exactly could I do that?" asked Zecora.

"Well, the cure was written in rhyme, and you spoke in rhyme, so we thought you could figure out the last bit of the cure." Twilight then gave Zecora the piece of paper. As Zecora was reading, Twilight and the rest of the group just stared at her, waiting for Zecora's answer.

"While I am kind of insulted that you assumed that I was some kind of rhyming freak, I kind of understand why. Anywho, I may need you to help me help you Twilight." said Zecora.

"What do you mean?" asked Twilight.

"I could give you an entire list of possible rhymes that could finish this verse, but you need to help me decide which makes the most sense." replied Zecora. She walked past the group and headed to a room at the back of her home. A few minutes passed and ecora returned, but when she did, she had a scroll in her hoof that she gave to Twilight. "That's literaly an entire list of possible rhymes. That's all I can do for you now."

"Thanks Zecora." said Spike.

"Don't mention it, but I almost forgot, Twilight can help you finish the verse, but only you and the girls can carry out the plan."

"But why?" asked Sweetie Belle.

"Twilight just recently changed back from a vampony, correct?" Everypony, and Spike, nodded. "Well, she still can't affect any vamponies... Her magic still has traces of vampony magic. They'll be able to sense her miles away." replied Zecora.

"So Twilight can only help us figure out what to do?" asked Scootaloo.

"Yup, pretty much."

"Can she at least come along when we carry out the plan?" asked Applebloom.

"No, as I said, they can sense Twilight. If she came along, you'd be in greater danger." said Zecora. "I really have to go now, I wish you the best of luck on your quest."

"Thanks for your help Zecora." said Spike.

"No problem." As Zecora went to her room, Spike and the gang took their leave and retreated to a cave to do their work.

"Okay, how about 'Get them to utter basketball game', 'to utter an insurance claim', 'utter a big fat dame'... None of these fit Twi..." said Spike.

"We have to keep trying, what's the next words on the list?" asked Twilight.

"Next is 'Get them to utter their name', huh, that seems to fit Twi." said Spike.

"That won't work, it's too simple! That can't possibly be the answer to this mishap." said Twilight. Spike sighed.

"Fine, I'll try again... The next one is 'Get them to utter that we should be all the same'." said Spike.

"That works! What do you think Twilight?" asked Sweetie Belle.

"I think it's just what we need." replied Twilight.

"Great, now all we hafta do is make all six of ya together to say that you guys are 'all the same'." said Applebloom. Twilight nodded.

"Come on... Let's go." Twilight and the gang headed out to finally confront their friends.
