Mane Swapby SpadezChaptersChapter 1: SwapChapter 2: PanicChapter 3: Warming upChapter 1: SwapTwilight's horn glowed purple, levitating two scrolls over to her and she sat down at a table. She opened the one on her left and scanned it. Shifting My studies have shown that shape shifting is possible, all you have to do is think what you want to shift into. You will need to remember these words... "Shift, change and secret" This had Twilight raise her eyebrow and she read it over. "Huh..?" Was the only word that could escape her lips. She shook her head, her pink and purple mane covered her face now. She unraveled the second scroll and read it. Species change This spell takes willpower, I have tested it on my good friend and it works fine. Though over the years I've practiced my powers grow dim... These numbers shall help you with this spell. 42.96.5 WARNING No pony has been able to pull this spell off, use at own caution... Twilight ignored the warning and shoved the species change spell inside her saddle bag instead of the shifting scroll, putting it back where it came from. She got up to her hooves and stretched, moving to the exit of the star swirl the bearded wing and stepped out of the canterlot archives. Twilight waited at the train station as the train arrived. she trotted into the train and sat down on an empty seat. "Unusually empty today..." She remarked and the train let out a squeak before starting up again. *** She arrived in ponyville about 30 minutes later and sighed, stepping off of the train. A pink figure caught Twilight's eye before she was tackled to the ground by pinkie pie. "Hi twilight!" The pink pony screamed. "How was your visit? Was there cake? Did you bring me back any!?" She rambled on as usual. "No cake, and it was fine..." Twilight sighed, pushing the hyper-active pony off of her, getting up to her hooves. "Now if you excuse me, I need to do a bit more studying." Twilight began to trot off into the direction of the familiar tree. She opened the door and it made a squeaking noise.I need to get Spike to oil the hinges again... She thought and pushed some books off of her desk and put her saddle bags onto it. "Spike!" She called and saw a purple and green baby dragon run down the stairs, almost tripping on the way down. "Yes..?" Spike asked skidding to a halt in front of her. "I think the door hinges need oiling, could you do that quickly..?" She asked. Spike nodded and her ran over to the door grabbing an oil can on the way to the door. Twilight levitated a book over to her. "Quantum physics 101..." She opened the book and began to read a paragraph. *** She bolted awake and she shook her head. "I must have fallen asleep..." She muttered to herself. "Good morning Twilight!" Spike rang and Twilight gazed up at the baby dragon, who was organizing the library. "Good morning spike..." She said groggily. "Rainbow dash came in looking for you." Spike looked down at her almost loosing balance. "What did you say?" Twilight asked. "I said you were sleeping." He replied. Twilight nodded, getting onto her hooves and trotted towards the door. "I'm going out for a bit okay Spike?" "Okay!" Spike called. Twilight walked out the door and breathed in the fresh air. "Hello Flutter shy." Twilight said to the yellow and pink pony as she entered the cottage. "Oh hello Twilight." Flutter shy looked up at her, she had been trying to get Angel to eat some sort of pill. "He said he hasn't been feeling well..." She said. Twilight nodded, her gaze rested on the rabbit. Angel finally took the pill and swallowed it. He stuck his tongue out in disgust. Twilight levitated a cup of water over to him and he drank it. "Thank you." Flutter shy looked at the purple mare. "You're welcome." Twilight said. "Um, Flutter shy I was wondering if I could test a spell on you and the rest of the girls." Twilight flattened her ears. "S-Sure..." Flutter shy said. "What kind of spell is it..?" She asked timidly. "A simple shape shifting spell." "A shape shifting spell!?" Pinkie bounced excitedly around the two mares. "Of course I would LOVE to be turned into something, maybe a pony!" "Uh... Pinkie you are a pony..." Twilight cocked an eye brow. "Maybe a book." twilight said under her breath. "Sure Twi, we would love to help you with that spell." Rainbow dash said, Apple jack nodded her head. They all trotted over to the carousel boutique and walked in. "Howdy rarity." The farmer pony smiled. "Why hello there girls." Rarity looked at them. "What brings you to the carousel boutique today?" "We were wondering if you wanted to help me with some magic practice. Just a simple shape shifting spell, that's it." twilight said simply. "Alright." Was rarity's only word and she stepped closer to the five. Twilights horn lit up and suddenly stopped. "Almost forgot..." She took out the scroll from her saddle bag and scanned it, looking at the numbers. She threw it away and her horn lit up again. "are you ready..?" She asked. the five nodded looking at her. 42.96.5 She thought and there was a spark. Twilight was thrown against a shelf and she squeaked. A few minutes later her eyes fluttered open and she looked around. he pony friends were still there, the same but not the same. She couldn't put her hoof on it. Then she took a closer look at them and screamed. Chapter 2: PanicTwilight stood there with her jaw hanging open. Her friends seemed different and she knew why. Apple jack rubbed her temple and looked up at Twilight, dazed. “Wha’ happened..?” She asked looking around. “I think I used the wrong spell...” Twilight managed to choke out. “Oh my stars!” Came an exclamation from under some fabric. Rarity burst out of under the silk and galloped over to Twilight skidding to a halt. Rarity examined her friend and gasped. “Twilight... you- you have wings!” “What..?” twilight looked behind her and gasped, unfolding the unfamiliar wings that were attached to her. “What about my horn!?” She asked, a vicious tone making Rarity flinch. Rarity shook her head and Twilight placed a hoof on where there was supposed to be a horn. Nothing there. “This is bad, very VERY bad!” Twilight paced and looked at Apple jack. The once earth pony now had a horn. Twilight’s gaze rested on two other ponies, one earth pony and one unicorn. Rainbow dash struggled to sit up; she finally got up to her hooves and shook her head. “I feel... Different...” She said and looked at Twilight, jaw dropping. “Twilight you have wings!” “And you have a horn...” Twilight replied. “Ha! Nice try twilight,” She grinned trying to unfold her wings. She looked back and sat down, a shocked expression present on her face. “WHY ME!?” She cried. “It’s not just you Rainbow dash.” Apple jack growled. She looked down at Flutter shy, whom lacked wings and a horn and sighed. “Y’all alright?” She finally asked. “I am!” Something pink flew by and landed next to Twilight. “Yippee! I have wings!” Pinkie exclaimed folding her wings up. “We are all doomed...” Twilight mouthed to Rarity who also lacked a horn. “How am I supposed to get ANYTHING done without a horn!?” Rarity panicked. “Keep calm every pony, I’ll try to figure things out...” Twilight said, but doubted she could do anything without her horn. She paced, sighing. Deep in thought she played event’s over again. I brought back the shape shifting spell and memorized the numb- That's it! She thought. “I used the wrong spell...” She murmured, loud enough to hear her. “what spell did you use..?” AJ asked. “Species change.” Came the reply. “Ha! That’s why you READ the spell before performing it!” Rainbow dash gave a cocky smile. “If I were in charge I would have read it and wouldn’t have used the spell.” This had Twilights face light up. “Yes Rainbow. You would have. But what about getting us out of this mess.” “Hay, I could get us out of this mess in 10 seconds flat!” Rainbow dash beamed, realizing what she said. “Hey!” Twilight chuckled. “This situation is in good hooves now.” Rainbow dash plopped down onto the ground and sighed. "You will do good, Apple jack will help you." Twilight said. Rainbow dash looked up at her. “I guess.” “I’ll go grab some books...” Twilight said, trotting out of the boutique. She entered the library and was greeted with a shocked expression by her assistant. “I... Failed a spell.” She explained quickly. Spike nodded and went back to work. Twilight picked out a few books and breathed. “I think I should get some sleep...” She rushed out of the library, skidding to a halt in front of them. “Here... I need to get some rest okay..?” She gestured to the rising moon. “We all should.” The six nodded before parting ways. Twilight sighed entering the library. She sat down at a desk and smiled, glad to be home. She heard hooves clopping against the floor and she looked behind her. She examined the Pegasus very closely and smiled. “What can I do for you today..? Soarin.” She asked the wonderbolt, whom wasn’t wearing his uniform. “I heard what happened. I’m terribly sorry, I hope you can find a way to become a unicorn once again.” “How did you find out?” she cocked an eye brow. “Rainbow dash.” He replied. “well, thank you for the concern.” Twilight bowed her head. “I also came here to pick up a book I ordered..?” He said. “Oh yes! Almost forgot.” Twilight smiled. “It’s been a hectic past two days.” She laughed and she took a book out, handing it to the colt. “Thank you.” He leaned close to Twilight and she blushed slightly, smiling weakly. She yawned and her face turned a deeper red. “Sorry, I didn’t get too much sleep last night.” “I understand. I never get much either.” Soaring drew back, turning away and trotted out of the library. Spike grinned, looking up at Twilight, blush still present on her face as Soarin closed door behind him. “Rainbow dash isn’t gonna be happy with your choice of a colt friend.” Spike teased. “S-Shut up Spike, you know you shouldn’t tease me when it’s late...” Spike rolled his eyes. “Let’s go to bed.” “Yeah...” twilight nodded, in a daze she trotted upstairs. She slipped into her bed and shut her eyes. *** Twilight groaned waking up. She stretched, her wings unfolded and then folder back in. “Morning Spike...” She groaned, getting out of bed. She walked downstairs and saw Rainbow dash at the desk. “Hi Twilight.” Rainbow dash waved a hoof as she wrote something down. “You know, you could use magic, right..?” Twilight said to the unicorn. Rainbow dash nodded. She finished writing the note down and rolled it into a scroll and spat the pen out of her mouth. She got to her hooves and smiled warmly at Twilight. “Something’s not right...” twilight said before Rainbow dash started to attack her with the scroll. “Stay. Away. From. Soarin.” She growled. “I’m sorry!” Twilight couldn’t help but laugh. “it wasn’t my fault, honest.” Her eyes gleamed with honestly and Rainbow stepped back. “Anyways... I think I found something...” Rainbow said. Her rainbow mane covered her right eye as she smiled. She unravelled the scroll and levitated it over to Twilight. Twilight looked over the scroll over and over. “Wow Rainbow dash... This may help us.” Chapter 3: Warming upApplejack was lying in sweet apple acres, under one of the apple trees. Nothing but the sound of the leaves blowing in the wind. Peaceful. This is how Applejack liked it. It was just a normal day in Ponyville, but to her, not so much. She couldn't wait to get rid of her blasted horn... she hadn't even shown her family yet! What was she going to do!? She got to her hooves and took a deep breath. Her blonde mane covered both her eyes and she began trotting in the direction of her house. She reached the door a few seconds later, then after much hesitation and doubt, she finally built up the courage, and knocked… 'Knock' 'Knock' The waiting was unbearable; she could still perhaps gallop away, while there was still ti- The door opened to a little filly. “Hey there miss!" The filly was yellow, with a red mane and pink bow. "Hi Apple Bloom!" Applejack smiled to her. "How'dya know mah name?" Apple Bloom cocked an eyebrow at the mare. Suspicion creeping in. "It's me, Applejack!" "Yeah right, mah sisters an earth pony." "Twilight went wrong with a spell." Applejack explained. "Likely story." "Ahm tellin' the truth!" Apple jack fumed. "Even if you were Applejack, this is an earth pony residence, no unicorns or pegisi aloud." "Ahm gonna go tell Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo you said that!" And with that, Applejack was gone. *** "TWILIGHT!!" Applejack burst into the Library, and her eyes began darting around the room. She noticed the purple Pegasus standing at a bookshelf. Applejack stomped over to the mare and growled. "Y'all better hurry up with this! Ah jus' got kicked out of mah own home!" "Look um..." Twilight began. "I have to be somewhere; I think being a Pegasus isn't too bad..." Twilight sighed as if in a fantasy. "What in tarnation..?" Applejack mumbled. "Wha' ever..." Apple jack turned around and walked out...
