Serval of my Excess, prologue
[Ever Free Forest, three weeks after Hearths Warming. Monday]
“Now then mah little friend, ahdd the last bit and this will end.” Zecora stated smoothly as she watched Applebloom add the last bit of of a small bowl into the bubbling mix.
It had taken a bit before Zecora trusted the littlest Apple back in her hut after the Cutie Pox incident. But the foal was still eager to learn, though she still had the impatience that Zecora had tried to curtail.
Forcing the filly to prepare all the ingredients before hoof and place them in properly measured bowls had helped considerably. Currently Zecora was watching over her as she worked on something a bit more advanced than usual.
“Stir it?” Applebloom asked holding up a large spoon as Zecora shook her head.
“No thaht will do, it all needs to settle for ah proper brew.” Zecora stated as the spoon was put away.
“So this is that mix you were working on? The one that makes everything else better?” Applebloom asked.
“Not better ah would sahy, more it speeds other things on its wahy.” Zecora explained.”With this ah healing potion that normallyy would take a dahy or two, might be reduced to working by the time you drahnk the brew.”
“So it speeds up other potions durations, neat.” Applebloom smiled looking over the potion watching the oily orange colored mess bubble up towards the surface, the darker excess and waste boiling down towards the bottom of the pot.” He .. Zecora... I know it's a bit much tah ask cause I keep bugging yah tah train me, but can we cut this a little short today?”
Zecora blinked looking back at her 'apprentice' at the question.
“Ah think we can do thaht today, but what is it thaht makes you wish to be awahy?” Zecora asked.
“It's Spike's birthday or hatching day or what ever today. Twilight hatched him at tha start of the new year when she took Princess Celestia's test. “Applebloom explained excitedly. “ ah still need tah run by tha farm and git tha gift ah got him.”
“Ahh I see now the case. It would be ahmiss to mahke you lahte to his place.”Zecora nodded scooping a small layer of the orange mix off the top of her potion cauldron . She quickly sealed the bottle and cleaned off the excess before wrapping it in a small wooden box with three other potions.
“Still even though this is through , there is ahnother task I have for you.” Zecora added sealing the box. “Twilight Spahrkle sent the request, for a few mixes of whaht I do best. So the last thing I have for you, is to give these to Twilight, then you are through.”
Applebloom nodded and took the small box putting it in one of her saddle bags.
“What else is in these?”Applebloom asked.
“A bit of Silphum, a bit of Everfree Thyme, and lastly some Poison Joke petals and the last of this rhyme.” Zecora chuckled.
“YEESH.” Applebloom flinched looking back at her saddle bags with worry. “Remind me to get rid of this stuff quick.”
“Ge rid of this stuff quick,” Zecora snarked. “Or the next batch you will pick.”
“Right I'm gone, see yah later Zecora.” Applebloom shouted as she raced out the door through the lightly snow covered forest.
Zecora watched her go considering lightly. Perhaps she should send something for young Spikes birthday as well.

Muahahahahahahahahahahaha! this is going to be great!
something tells me this got posted early (that or you are trying to mimic zecoras accent)
9441381
If I remember right the author gave her a bostonian accent or something close
Err... Twilight? What are you scheming this time?
9441386
Yup
9441381
The extra a s and h s in Zecoras speech are due to the toned way down Bosten accent i gave her.

Maybe Rahs ticked Twilight off, so she intends her brother end up a stallion again, only on Hearts & Hooves day...and the other parts, if I'm remembering earlier chapters right, were the key ingredients of the poison joke antidote.
Shouldn't that be "decreases onset time", rather than a reference to duration?
9441553
Actually, it makes sense the way it is now. The healing potion explanation works best. Normally, the potions full effect could take a day or so to work, but it gets speed up to the point where it could be done by time you're done drinking it. The potion quite literally makes other potions full effects come much quicker and making them reduce the duration they're active.
9441694
How is that reducing the duration that they're active? Surely they have to be active the whole time in order for the effects to come quicker. Does the healing potion start healing before it's active? If they're having any effect at all, they must be active.
I don't think that I understand what you're trying to say.
The only reason I will never write Zecora, rhymes. I love her, but man am I bad at coming up with dialogue that continuously ryhmes.
9441703
No matter what, as soon as you drink the healing potion, it's healing effect starts. Reducing the duration basically man's that it heals you quicker. It would be like if the potion was used for curing Poison Joke. Instead of it taking say, a couple hours in the bath, it could possibly be shortened to just throwing a bucket of the cure on them. Does that make more sense?
Didn't your spike already learn the greed lesson?

For myself, the trick was to write out what you wanted her to say, then go back and adjust it afterwards. And don’t be afraid to rewrite other bits. It’s not nearly as hard as people think.
great chapter setup
So is this a prankwar or twilights got some ideas

i'll answer this simply. ...... Rhyming an explanation is hard.......
9442040
Nope, but it's not gonna go quite that route.

Twilight's not actually planning anything other than to research the stuff. Otherwise Shining might ship her books off again.
9442612
In that case, she should send him a note saying something like "Hey, BBBFF, I am going to do experiments on poison joke. So you should take your shower at home and always wear armor to hide the sudden, possible physical change."?
This was nice and heartwarming. Extra props to you, not everyone can keep up a rhyming zebra.
Huh... Interessting chapter.
Ryming Zecora is quite a chore, but the readers love you for it ever more ♡

I agree, but the attempt at an accent does not fit her...
Trust is hard to regain, but it's effort is rarely in vain.

I find it highly entertaining. It makes her more stand out.
The best Zecora I read in Fimfiction so far.
