Switched!
Chapter 4
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSheldon and Scootaloo were walking though the town and Scootaloo was telling him about her failed cutie mark attempts,
"So you tried to get you cutie mark in ziplining , singing and bowling? Your pretty dedicated" Sheldon told her.
"Thanks, but I still haven't got my cutie mark" she said sadly.
"Have you tried getting one in science?" he asked her.
"Yeah, I tried chemistry but it didn't go as planned, I wanted to try again but Twilight won't let me near her lab equipment again" she answered.
"Okay then, where are we going?"
"We're going to Sweet Apple Acres to see my friends Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle" she told him.
"Oh are they sisters?".
"No they're not, but Apple Bloom's family owns Sweet Apple Acres her older sister runs it, Sweetie Belle's older sister owns the Carousel Boutique here in town". As they were walking to the farm a pink pony appeared out of nowhere in front of them.
"Hey Scootaloo,Hey Rainbow Dash, where are you going? Are you going to Sweet Apple Acres? I LOVE going to Sweet Apple Acres! Especially during cider season,but then I also love zap apple season, so it's really more of a tie". The pony said to them. Sheldon's eye started to twitch just slightly.
"This is Pinkie Pie, a friend of Twilight and Rainbow Dash" Scootaloo explained to him.
"Why are you telling her that I'm a friend of her's? She know's that! Unless when she was doing one of her tricks and crashed and lost her memory and needs our help to get it back or-" Pinkie was cut off by Scootaloo saying "This isn't Rainbow Dash".
"Of course it is silly billy! Why would you say she isn't unless you lost your memory too!" Pinkie replied.
"No, This is someone else, His name is Sheldon and he isn't from here" Scootaloo attempted to explain to her.
"ARE YOU A CHANGELING!?" Pinkie asked him suspiciously.
"No he's not! His mind somehow got swapped with Rainbow Dash's, Twilight's in Canterlot trying to figure out how to switch them back" she told her.
"Oh why didn't you just say so in the first place" Pinkie said happily.
"I tried" Scootaloo said under her breath.
"So your name's Shell Done, did your parents reeeaally like the beach, or is it that your parents think they we're funny and make your name sound like "well done" just for the purpose of being able to say "Well Done,Shell Done!"?" Pinkie asked him.
"No, my name is Sheldon,not Shell Done!" he answered her.
"Shell Done?" "NO SHELDON! S-H-E-L-D-O-N!" he told her sounding irritated.
"OH Sheldon, so do you like Ponyville?" she asked.
"I do, it's a nice little town but I have a question" Sheldon said to Pinkie.
"What?" "Do you have a comic book shops here?"
"Well I know of one in Canterlot but I wouldn't go there" Pinkie answered.
"Why not?"
"Because Spike got a book from there and it ended up being enchanted and sucked us into it and the only way to escape was to defeat the villan! But it was pretty cool because we all got superpowers,I got the power of super speed!" Pinkie told him.
"Well that sounded intesting" he said to her.
"It was alot of fun! Oh got to run I need to go help the Cakes with a HUGE order,see you later!" Pinkie Pie said to Sheldon and Scootaloo as she ran off.
"Well that was different" Sheldon said to Scootaloo.
"Pinkie Pie's a little different, but she's a good pony and practically knows everypony in town!" Scootaloo told him.
"I don't care for knowing everybody, I just know who I need to know and that's it" Sheldon explained to her.
"Well,let's keep going I don't want to be late" Scootaloo said to him.
"Late for what?" he asked.
"Scootaloo, where have you been?" a little yellow pony asked.
"We have been waiting forever!" a little white unicorn complained.
"Sorry guys, I got caught up helping Sheldon out" Scootaloo explained.
"Uh,who's Sheldon?" the yellow pony asked.
"This is!" Scootaloo answered.
"You do know that's Rainbow Dash,right?" the unicorn asked sounding concerned about the sanity of her friend.
"No this is Sheldon, his mind got swapped with Rainbow Dash's and Twilight and I a trying to help them switch back!" Scootaloo told her friends. "Sheldon, I would like to introduce my friends Apple Bloom" Scootaloo said to him as she pointed her hoof at the yellow pony."And Sweetie Belle" she said pointing her hoof at the white unicorn."And we are..". "THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!" the three ponies shouted in unison.
"So you and your friends are looking for your cutie marks?" Sheldon asked them.
"Eeyp" Apple Bloom answered.
"And we keep trying,but always failing" Sweetie Belle added sadly.
"Hey, mabye our special talent is failing!" Scootaloo said excitedly.
"No, I don't think so" Apple Bloom said.
"If our talent is failing wouldn't we already have our cutie marks" Sweetie Belle pointed out.
"Yeah I guess your right" Scootaloo said sadly.
"Okay, let's try somthing else!".
"What are you fillies up too this time?" a voice asked .
"Nothing" the three fillie said in unison.
"Well if ya'll are doin' nothing why is Rainbow here?" the pony who asked them the question came in to veiw she was an orange pony with cowboy hat on her head."Sorry if they brothered you Rainbow, you know how they are".
"Actually Applejack, this isn't Rainbow Dash" Scootaloo told her. "This is Sheldon".
"Is this another one of your games guys, is Sheldon like the name of an evil villan?" Applejack asked them.
"No,Sheldon is my name" he told her.
"Rainbow what's wrong with your voice?" she asked him.
"This isn't Rainbow Dash, Sheldon and Rainbow switched minds and Twilight's in Canterlot to figure out how to change them back!" Scootaloo explained to Applejack.
"I'd say you were crazy, but I have seen much weirder things" Applejack said to Scootaloo. "How long's Twilight been gone?"
"A couple hours I think" Scootaloo answered "But she did say she could be gone for a while". As if on cue Twilight came flying in and landed next to Applejack.
"Hi everypony, sorry that I took so long but Celestia and I couldn't figure out what to do" she explained to everypony.
"Could Luna think of anything?" Scootaloo asked.
"Yeah, Discord" Twilight told her.
"Well that makes a lot of sense" Applejack said to her "Is there any way to switch them back?".
"Well Luna said we should find Rainbow Dash first" Twilight answered.
"And then?" Sheldon asked her.
"Find Discord and make him switch you two back" she answered.
"Well that sound's easy enough" Sheldon said to her.
"You haven't met Discord, it's not as easy as asking him to do it and he'll do it,he might try somthing and you'll end up switched with somepony else" Twilight told him "But Luna did give me a spell that will transport me to where Rainbow Dash is".
"Well you go look for Rainbow and I'll go look for Discord" Applejack said to her.
"What can we do?" Scootaloo asked.
"You can stay here with Sheldon" Twilight told them.
"Okay" Scootaloo said sadly. Twilight's horn started to light up then she was gone in a flash of purple light.
"Okay, I'll start lookin' for Discord and like Twilight said stay here" Applejack told the fillies "Alright girls,I'll see ya'll later" she said as she ran off.
"Okay what should we do?" asked Apple Bloom.
"What we always do, try and get our cutie marks!" Scootaloo exclaimed.
"But Applejack and Twilight said to stay here" Sheldon reminded her.
"Who said anything about leaving Sweet Apple Acres?" Scootaloo said deviously.
"I don't like the sound of that" Sheldon said worried.
"Come on it'll be fun" Scootaloo said sweetly.
"Oh all right, what are we going to do?" he asked her.
"You'll see" she answered as they headed towards the barn.
"Well I don't know what she has in mind, but she seems to be a good filly so I think I can trust her" Sheldon thought to himself.
