> Switched > by Sonatie > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Princess Cadance got a letter from Twilight Sparkle. Saying that she must come to Twilight's castle. Finishing the letter, Cadance hurried to Twilight's palace. "Hello Twilight." Said Princess Cadance, slowly walking inside the castle. "Cadance!" Twilight cheerfully shouted. "Sunshine, Sunshine, Lady bugs awake! Clap your hooves and, do a little shake!" The two mares chuckled and laughed, giving each other a big hug. "So, What did you call me here for?" Cadance asked, raising a eyebrow directly at Twilight. "Oh, right!" Twilight exclaimed. "Come to my room." Both alicorns trotted to her room, Twilight quickly closed her door and Showed Cadance an interesting potion. "What's, this?" Cadance asked. "It's a switch-a-roo!" Explained Twilight. "It can switch two ponies minds, If you pour it onto the two ponies, that you want to switch minds with." "Interesting," Cadance grinned. "But, what are we going to use it for?" "Remember when You said that there was a filly who tough Alicorn life is hard?" Asked Twilight. "Ye-" "Well," Twilight stopped Cadance and started to explain. "You will switch minds with this filly, so he can learn a lesson that being a princess isn't as easy as he thinks." "Twilight, I don't think that's a good idea." Said Cadance. "I'm not sure If a filly can take care of a empire." "That the point Cadance!" Said Twilight. "To teach him a lesson, that it isn't easy!" "Twilight!" Cadance shouted. "I'm not switching places with a filly, that will not take good care of Crystal empire!" "But, he'll only do it for one day! To learn a lesson!" Twilight shouted back. "No, Twilight! Why can't we just explain to him that being a princess is hard?" "Because, He won't believe it! He needs to know the feeling of being a princess! And how much work it is!" Suddenly, Pinkie Jumped into Twilight's room, landing on Cadance. "Hi Twilight!" Said Pinkie, smiling at Twilight. "Hey, h-huh?" Twilight stared at her table, that started to move. The Switch-a-roo potion felled from the table so quickly, that Twilight had no chance of catching it, and It landed on Princess Cadance and Pinkie Pie. Suddenly, white light was flashing between the two ponies, and then, Cadance shouted at Pinkie. "Hey! Don't sit on me!" Shouted Cadance. Pinkie's eye's widen, she stepped off from Cadance and started at her hooves. "Where's the mirror?!" Pinkie shouted. Twilight pointed at a mirror in her room, and Pinkie quickly rushed to it. Pinkie screamed from all of her lungs. "W-What?! What is it?" Asked Twilight, staring confused at Pinkie. "Twilight!" Pinkie shouted. "It's me, Cadance!" "Wait, huh?" "Don't you see? The potion landed on me and Pinkie Pie!" "So, That means-" Pinkie and Twilight turned they're heads to Princess Cadance, who was sitting there. "Whaaat?" Asked Cadance. "Pinkie pie! You're in MY body!" Pinkie shouted. "Wow? Really? Cool!" Said Cadance, flapping her wings with a big grin on her face. "No, this is not 'cool'." Said Twilight, rolling her eyes. "We must fix this, Now!" "But, but how?" Asked Pinkie. "I'm going to try making some sort of potion that can change your minds back." Twilight explained. "It will take some time tough." "Wait, Your telling me, that this whole time You didn't have a potion to change the minds back to normal?" Pinkie shouted. "That would have meant that the filly that you wanted me to switch minds with, would stay in my body forever!" "No, no no, no Cadanace!" Said Twilight. "The switch depends on how much you pour on the drink, a little bit can be a day, a whole bottle like this, could be for a week or day's." "Oh, alright." Pinkie looked down. "Don't worry, I'll try my best to finish this potion as fast as possible," Said Twilight. "So you and Pinkie can switch back to normal faster." "I suppose we can be in each other's body for a few days." Said Pinkie. "Yes, but nopony can know about this." Said Twilight. "Why not?" Asked Cadance. "Because I just don't want ponies to know that I make stuff like this, and maybe some other ponies will have bad ideas about this type of potion." "Soooo, what now?" Asked Cadance. "We will both stay in Ponyvile, You'll have to stay here with Twilight." Pinkie explained. "Aaand you will have to take care of Sugercube corner!" Said Cadance. "Wait, what- huh?" Said Pinkie, with a low tone. "Well, You see, I work at sugercube corner, where we sell cakes and cupcakes." Cadance explained. "Well, alright then, I suppose I have to work then." Said Pinkie. "Great!" Cadance said cheerfully. "There is a pony named Mrs. Cake working there, with her husband Mr.. Cake! And with two fillies Pound cake and Pumpkin cake!" "Okay, I'll keep that in mind." Said Pinkie. "Oh, and I have a pet alligator named Gummy!" "You have a pet crocodile?!" "Yeah, a lot of ponies get scared after hearing that," Cadance chuckled. "He doesn't have teeth, So don't worry." "Oh, o-okay." Said Pinkie. "I have to go now, bye." "Bye!" Said Cadance. "Okay, bye." Said Twilight. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie Pie walked to Sugercube corner, after saying goodbye to Twilight and Pinkie in her body. As Pinkie walked into Sugercube corner, Mrs. Cake quickly rushed to her. "Pinkie Pie!" Mrs. Cake shouted. "Where were you so long?!" "Wait, h-huh?" Said Pinkie, having no idea on what's going on. "Your brake was five minutes," Explained Mrs. Cake. "You are late!" "O-Oh sorry." Said Pinkie, as she gulped and nervously chuckled. "I'll get back to work now, hehe." Mrs. Cake watched as Pinkie nervously trotted to the cash register and stood there. Pinkie smiled at Mrs. Cake, and she smiled back, walking back to the kitchen. A customer walked into the building, and stared at the cupcakes. "Welcome to sugercube corner." Said Pinkie. "Oh hey, Pinkie Pie!" The mare cheerfully said. "Oh-Hi, uh-" "Cherry Blossom. The pony who you hosted the party for." Cherry said. "Ooh, right," Pinkie nervously chuckled. "Cherry Blossom, I remembered!" "That party was amazing!" "Y-Yeah it was, and, uh- The pink balloon's looked great!" "There weren't pink balloon's...?" Said Cherry, staring oddly at Pinkie. "Oh, Uh- I mean Green balloon's!" Pinkie smiled. "Pinkie, don't you remember that the only balloon's were red and yellow? I hate Green! I told you that, so you would not have any decorations that were green." Cherry explained. "Oh, sorry," Said Pinkie. "I guess I forgot." "That's strange," Said Cherry. "I though that you have the best memory in Ponyvile! Oh well." Pinkie rolled her eyes and asked in a angry tone. "So, what do you want?" "Oh," Said Cherry, confused from Pinkie's low tone. "I would like that Strawberry cupcake please, and a donut with the banana flavor." "Yes, of course." Replied Pinkie, taking the donut and cupcake from the storage and placing them in a snall plastic bag. "There you go." "Thank you Pinkie!" Cherry said. "How much is it?" "Three bits please." Said Pinkie. "Here." Said Cherry, handing Pinkie the bits. "Well, goodbye." "Bye!" Said Pinkie, waving and Smiling at Cherry Blossom. "Phew, that is a easy job." Meanwhile in the castle, Cadance was staring at Twilight while she was working. "Pinkie." Said Twilight, letting out a sigh. "Will you please let me, WORK?" "Oh," Cadance chuckled. "Sorry!" Twilight sighed and continued her work. "Twiliiight!" "What, Is it Pinkie!?" Twilight shouted. "I'm very bored, there is nothing to do here." Said Cadance, staring above the walls. "Then go walk somewhere around the castle," Said Twilight, with a groan. "You know where to go, and what to do." "Okaay." Cadance started trotting around the castle, looking around. She bounced to Spike's room, where he was sitting in his bed and reading the bewest chapter of Power Ponies. "Hiiiiya Spike!" Said Cadance. "Oh, hi Cadance." Said Spike, raising an eyebrow. "What are you, doing here?" "Oh, well, I'm here visiting Twilight!" Said Cadance, and gave a hug to Spike. "Well It's nice to see you again, Princess Cadance." Said Spike, hugging her back. "Wanna cheek out my comic book?" "Sure!" Replied Cadance, sitting next to him. "It's a comic book series that has six superheroes, Masked Matter-Horn, Fili-Second, Zapp, Radiance, Mistress Mare-verous, Saddle Rager, and their Sidekick, Hum Drum." Spike explained. "They protect Maretropolis from the villain of the book, Mane-Iac." "Interesting!" Cadance smiled. "Yeah! It's the most fun thing to read!" Spike said.
