Pony narrators were moving through the shelves, looking for the next story to bring to the masses, while those who had finished their work for the day chilled out at the bar. Many of those were tired due to their work, enjoying the time off to chat with their fellow narrators. While Wuten and Guti were talking about background music for one of their projects, Astro ordered a drink from the mare behind the counter. He had just finished a long day, and all he wanted was to relax for a little while, before heading off to bed in his suite above the library.         “I need a little pickup. Any suggestions?”, he asked, leaned onto the counter slightly, letting his gaze drift over his fellow narrators. There were so many of them by now, but that was more than OK. With the ever growing number of Fan Fictions out there, one could never have enough narrators.         “How about a Red Bull?”, the mare replied, putting a can of the stuff onto the counter before getting back to work. Her green mane was a little frazzled at the edges, and Astro assumed that she must have had a long day as well. Not wanting to bother Hard Drink, the Pegasus moved over to one of the tables near the door to enjoy his drink. He had brought a bit of work along. Knowing himself, the Red Bull would just keep him awake long enough to get all these scripts a look over and get up to his room. Spreading his papers on the desk before him, Astro opened up the can of the energy drink, prepared for about an hours worth of work, before taking his first sip... A strange, bubbly sensation started to run through him almost instantly, and his body to shake so violently that his his fellow narrators started to feel a distinct vibration in the floor.         “Hey! Everything alright over there, bro?”, Chaotic called over to the startled Pegasus stallion, taking a sip of his tea.         “I... don't...”, Astro began, before suddenly erupting in a cloud of pink mist, “...know.”, he finished, his voice now much higher. It was that moment that VisualPony came into the room, waving a hoof in front of him to clear the smoke that obscured his vision. As soon as his eyes fell onto Astro who, for some reason, had changed into Pinkie Pie, he grinned and looked at his fellow narrator.         “Hey, Astro. So when did you get a sex change?”, the blue Earthpony stallion asked casually, before walking over to the bar himself. Since he had now turned his back on the perplexed Astro, he did not see how the changed stallion quickly hurried out the door.                 “Stupid sexy Fem Astro...”, Neighrator Pony muttered, leaving his room so he could go an read his paper in peace, without being distracted by his fellow narrators being turned into mares all of a sudden for no reason.         “Maybe Red Bull is like Alchemy, to get something you have to give something so I guess to get those wings you had to give two of something else.” Griffin Productions laughed, slamming one of his claws onto the table to try and get himself under control. Thinking about that for a second, a disturbed expression started to form on Chaotic Sevens face, as he eyed the can of Red Bull Hard Drink had served him in addition to his tea. Just to be safe, the Unicorn stallion decided to inch away from the can a little more, as to not trade in what he definitely wanted to keep.         “Wait, he already has wings!”, Chaotic piped up, frowning at Griffin thoughtfully.         “Now he has four wings, or really big ones. Celestia would be jealous.”, Griffin replied, wishing he'd had gotten a better look before Astro had darted off.         “Well apparently it changed him into Pinkie Pie... so maybe things with wings are affected differently”, the Unicorn pondered, tapping his chin for a second, his tea completely forgotten.         “Hmmmm...an interesting thought.”, the Griffin said, sinking into thought himself. By this time, VisualPony had come back from the counter with his order, a nice cold bottle of Buckweiser. Piping up on his armchair, Chaotic suddenly exclaimed,”You know what that means! We got to experiment! For SCIENCE!”         “So, since you're a Unicorn Chaotic...Does that mean you'll turn into a Princess if you drink one of those?”, Visual asked, looking teasingly at the red Unicorn.         “Princess Chaotic,eh?”, Griffin smirked. This comment brought a nasty grin onto Visuals face.         “Oh no...”, Chaotic mumbled, inching away from his two fellow narrators, “I didn't mean on me!”         “Too late! Somepony! Hold him down, while I go get the funnel!”, the blue Earthpony said, standing up from his seat and ran towards Hard Drink once more.         “Oooohhh forced experimentation!”, Thornquill Audiofics piped in from one of the balconies, before getting back to work. Feeling that his life, or stallionhood, might actually be in danger Chaotic started to slink towards the exit, hoping nopony would notice him. Sadly, the only exit to the room was near the counter, meaning that he had to pass Visual who was still arguing with Drink about how many bits he'd have to pay to borrow the funnel. Noticing the escaping Unicorn, he turned around calling out,         “Now come here Chaotic... I promise it won't hurt.... Probably.” Chaotic, however, was not so easily tricked. Increasing his pace, he tried not to look back at his fellow narrator who, at this point, had started to laugh wickedly as a light bulb suddenly appeared above his head. Today was just not his day though. Thornquill had come downstairs to get a refill on his coffee, and to get a few more Jaffa cakes, and the two stallions collided with one another just as Chaotic had reached the door.         “I don't know. Twilight's Larsoning resulted in a lot of butt-hurt. Best prepare yourself Chaotic.”, the Pegasus stallion said, looking over at the clearly insane Visual with a worried look on his face. Not wanting to get caught up in whatever craziness was about to ensue, he placed his order and returned to his workplace upstairs. Hard Drink would deliver it soon enough after all, even if she would grumble about it later on. These few seconds of delay though, had been enough for VisualPony to catch up with his escaping prey. Patting the clearly unsettled stallion on the back with one hoof, the Earthpony used his other hoof to try and hide a syringe that was bigger than his entire body behind his back, while standing on his rear legs.         “Aww, come on. I'd never hurt ya.”, Visual giggled. Still wary of the Earthponies intentions, Chaotic inched away into the opposite direction to try and put some distance between him and the other stallion. His eyes never left the giant syringe Visual was trying, and failing, to hide. Noticing this, the smile faded from VisualPonys face, and he looked at his friend flatly.         “Honestly? If I injected this much Red Bull directly into your bloodstream, you'd die! Nah... This is just some “Princess Potion” a nice pony down in the tavern gave me. Always wanted to try it out.” A few minutes passed, and everypony went back to what they were doing before, the craziness from before seemingly forgotten. Suddenly, VisualPony, having drunk more than a few more Buckweiser, stepped up to Chaotic, carrying a slightly bubbling cup with a purple fluid marked “Apple Cider” on his back.         “Hey Chaotic, care for a drink buddy?”, he asked, setting the cup down in front of the Unicorn. Without hesitation, the Unicorn gulped down the drink offered to him, smiling up from his seat.                  “Thanks man. I needed a drink.”, he replied, looking into the staring faces of most narrators who were present.         “You just drink that glowing misty stuff??”, Griffin asked, agape.         “Hey, hey! It wasn't glowing! That would have been a bit too much!”, the Unicorn replied, suddenly not feeling so sure anymore. This feeling intensified as Visual suddenly wiped off the giant syringe from earlier, showing him that it was empty.         “You fool!”, Griffin laughed out loud, unable to take a sip of his drink due to his laughter. Wiping out his mad scientist lab-coat, VisualPony stroke a pose that he thought was the coolest thing ever while exclaiming,         “The transformation should happen any second now!” A clinking sound from his lab-coats pockets made him pause for second. Sitting down to his haunches, and completely unaware of the stallion in front of him starting to sweat with shock from the realization, he pulled out two vials from one of his pockets. One of them was empty. The other one full. A bead of sweat formed on the Earthpony stallions face as he read the label of the empty vial.         “Freddy Fazbear potion...”, he muttered, quickly checking the other one, “Princess Potion.”         “Uh oh...”, he muttered, as he looked up into the slowly changing face of Chaotic. As quietly as he could, he sneaked out of the room. Even Griffin had stopped laughing at this point. The Griffin narrator just looked at Chaotic, who didn't say a word, muttering,         “Oh Visual... Why?” Suddenly, the public address system of the bar blared to life, and VisualPonys voice sounded over the speakers.         “That potion was originally meant for Diamond Tiara!”         “Well, Mr. Mad Scientist, what does this Freddy potion even do?”, Griffin asked, glaring up one of the surveillance cameras in the corner of the room.         “That is the question. He might break out in a merry song about Pizza, or transform into a murdering animatroninc who is after my soul.... At this point it's anybodies guess.”, Visual replied in an off-hand way, as if this kind of thing was just a minor setback.         “Let's uh...hope for the former...you do have an antidote. ..right?”         “Why do you think I left the room?”         “What made you think leaving would save you?”, Chaotic suddenly croaked, a second before breaking out in mad laughter.         VisualPony, sitting on a hill a few miles away and watching the scene play out through a powerful telescope, suddenly remembered an urgent appointment on the other side of the planet, running off as quickly as his hooves could carry him.         “Get back here damn it!”, Griffin shouted out the window, his sharp eyes allowing him to see the fleeing stallion.         “Oh, hey Griffin...”, Chaotic murmured, but Griffin held up a claw, to indicate that he needed a second as his cellphone rang.         “Hello?”         “Hello? This is a prerecorded message. Try giving Chaotic something sweet to bite. Some candy should do. Or some meat if you absolutely have to. Man I really appreciate your sacrifice. See you later!”, VisualPonys voice came out of the speaker before the call abruptly ended.         “VISUAL!”, Griffin shouted at his phone, his eye twitching slightly. Looking up, he noticed that Chaotic had gotten up from his armchair, and was now standing only few feet away from him, staring into his eyes with apparent hunger. He gulped.         “Uh, hey, buddy ol pal ol friend o mine...”, he said nervously, trying to get out of his own chair to back away. With a pop and a bright flash, VisualPony suddenly appeared between the now fully transformed Chaotic, and Griffin. The Griffin had a short glimpse of a very disgruntled looking Princess Luna, before the light vanished and he found himself face to face with his fellow narrator once more.         “Oh... Hi...”, Visual mumbled, “Damn... Hiding under her bed was a bad idea after all.”         “Oh, good, you're back~ NOW FIX THIS!!!”, Griffin shouted into Visuals face, grabbing the Earthpony stallion by the shoulders and turning him towards the advancing Chaotic.         “Oh goodie. Now I've got both of you.”, Chaotic gigged evilly. VisualPony gulped.         “Ehm... Uh.... OK... Desperate situations call for desperate measures...”, he muttered, launching himself at the flesh eating animatronic, locking his forelegs around its neck. For a second, he just hang there, before gathering up all of his courage and kissing his transformed fellow narrator. The Animatronic ,that had once been Chaotic, flushed an even brighter red and exploded into a cloud of black smoke. VisualPony fainted for a moment and, as the smoke cleared, a very confused red Unicorn stallion stood in the middle of the room, still blushing furiously. A moment later, the front door to to the bar opened, and Astro came back to get the scripts he had forgotten earlier. Whatever effect had turned him into Pinkie Pie seemed to have worn off, and he beheld the scene before him. VisualPony fainted on the ground. Chaotic looking embarrassed beyond measure, and Griffin standing in a corner, clutching his chest with a claw, breathing hard.         “So guys, what did I miss?”, he asked.
