Rarity's Diary

My dearest diary;

I've had another disastrous experience. Recently, a creature Twilight classified as a "zebra" came to our town. I thought her fashion sense was very outdated. Twilight had mysterious knowledge of this "zebra" and told me that this zebra was born with the stripes. I haven't the slightest clue how Pinkie Pie knew that the zebra's name was Zecora, as none of us bothered to talk to her. Pinkie must've used her earth pony knowledge.

We were all afraid of Zecora and her "zebra" behavior. Pinkie Pie made a song about Zecora, singing about how the zebra is an evil enchantress.Pinkie Pie's eyes mysteriously went green. I sense the subtle message about earth ponies Pinkie is making. The only ponies who haven't succumbed to evil earth pony magic is Applejack, and all of my role models, fashion designers and fashion critics. It's one of the reasons why I look up to all of those fasion experts. Oh, and one reason that I look up to Applejack. Twilight, and Applejack's sister told us to calm down.

Applejack's younger sister ventured into the forest to possibly find out more about Zecora and confront her. Applejack's delightful charm must have rubbed off on her family.

Our group of ponies chased after Apple Bloom until we got closer to her. The mysterious zebra gave us a strange riddle. I had no idea what it meant. But we all had a feeling that it was a curse.

The next morning, a troublesome occurence had befallen all of us. Twilight's horn went floppy, Applejack was suddenly tiny, Rainbow Dash, like her confidence, had no control of her flying, Fluttershy's voice started to turn more charming, Pinkie Pie spat all of her words, and worst of all, my mane was suddenly not straight. The world was ending. I knew it.

Spike gave all of us very silly names. For the love of Princess Rarity, he called me Hairity.

Rainbow Dash proposed that we confront Zecora. We all agreed, but were suddenly stopped all of a sudden by discovering that Apple Bloom and Applejack were missing. None of us had stepped, or sat on Applejack. Pinkie Pie checked my hair. I may have been to find Applejack, but I also think that it was to check to see if I had any secret weapons to defend myself against Pinkie Pie's army.

We all set off to Zecora's to search for Applejack and Apple Bloom. Along my way, I tripped over some grass. It smelled like a creature with the head of a chicken, and a body of a snake that can turn others into stone just by staring at them. I know that I'm going on a tangent, but I honestly couldn't think straight because of how I looked.

We finally reached Zecora's hut. I thought that I looked awful, but then Pinkie shown me Zecora's hut. Maybe Pinkie Pie isn't so bad if she has good taste in what's horrid and what isn't horrid.

Once we looked inside the hut, I pointed out the massive faults with it. It looked creepy. I thought I got my point across well enough.

Zecora started speaking her strange zebra language. Pinkie somehow understood it, noting that Zecora stole her song. Seeing as how Pinkie couldn't sing with her tongue as floppy as Twilight's horn, she asked Fluttershy to sing it. Fluttershy used her charming, and soothing voice to sing.

I asked Twilight if she believed our assumptions now. Twilight still thought that she was right, until she began to be under the assumption that Zecora was cooking Apple Bloom soup. I thought Twilight well. Now she knows the proper way to react to things.

We broke into Zecora's home, and asked her to uncurse us. Zecora accused us of being "jerks" and told us ot calm down, especially after we had spilled her brew.

Apple Bloom entered the hut, and told us that we were all wrong. Zecora kept giving us riddles that I couldn't understand. We learned that we stepped in a plant called "Poison Joke", a plant that poisoned us in a joking fashion.

We also learned that the creepy decor came from Zecora's native land. We learned that the cure for this trouble was to take a bubble bath. We all apologized. Unfortunately, the herb used to make the strange zebra bath in Ponyville. Nopony was welcoming our newfound zebra friend.

We all convinced the ponnies that only a few species of creatures work with earth ponies, and all had our bath. I felt beautiful, because Fluttershy's charming voice was gone, making me therefore feel even more superior than before. I have mixed feelings on Pinkie Pie getting her sense of speech back.

Anyways, I'm starting to think that maybe earth ponies aren't evil. Now all I want to know about is what native land this zebra came from. Don't worry, I'm not going to call the zebra species evil. Obviously, I am going to call the zebra species the master race in Equestria, second only to the alicorns.
