The Strange Switcharoey

It was a bright sunny day in Ponyville. The skies were clear, the temperature was just right, the birds were chirping. Every once in a while, a cool breeze would pass through the town and---

"GUESS WHAT!" Pinkie Pie shouted, as she approached Twilight's library, where the rest of the mane six were. After rudely interrupting my Narration---

"Sorry!" Pinkie said to me, INTERRUPTING ME AGAIN! Pinkie ran into the library.

"GUESS WHAT EVERYPONY?!" she shouted again. Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Princess Twilight Sparkle all spun around to meet Pinkie.

"What is it Pinkie?" Twilight asked. You may be wondering why Pinkie was not with the rest of the mane six. No they didn't forget her, no they weren't plotting to murder her, but she just wasn't nearby when Twilight came to give the invitation.

"DoyourememberMaudmysisterwellshescomingto---" Pinkie Pie said, her words spurting out like luggage on a malfunctioning conveyor belt.

"Pinkie, darling, slow down!" Rarity said. "We can't understand a word your saying!" Pinkie took a deep breath.

"Do you remember Maud, my sister?" she asked. Everypony nodded their heads. "Well she's coming to Ponyville today!" Pinkie squeed in excitement.

"Why---" Rainbow Dash started, until she realized the rudeness in the statement she was fixing to make. "I mean, what is she planning for this visit?"

"Same as last time pretty much, except I found this awesome spell!" Pinkie exclaimed. "It switches something around, but it guarantees a fun experience!'

"Are you sure that's....safe?" Twilight asked with a concerned tone.

"It said fun!" Pinkie replied. "Of course it's safe!"

"Alright..." Twilight said, doubt in her voice.

"Do we need to go to the train to wait on her?" Fluttershy asked. "I'll be sure to get to know boulder better, just in case she decides to play camouflage again."

"Fluttershy..." Rainbow Dash started. "It wouldn't have mattered how much you knew the darn rock, she was hiding it in her pocket!"

"Dash, you have to remember some ponies have different ways about them." Applejack said. "Though some may be more frustratin'."

"Well let's get going." Twilight said. The five ponies followed the hopping Pinkie Pie to the train.

~~~

At the station, Pinkie kept hopping in excitement with a huge smile stuck to her face. The station was quiet, no pony else was there. On the exception of one elderly horse who was reading a news paper. After about thirty minutes, or what felt like hours to the Ponies. The train finally came from the rock farm. Pinkie squealed in excitement. The train slowly drug itself to a stop, and the door opened. The only pony boarding the train was Maud, she walked out slowly.

"HI MAUD!" Pinkie shouted, rushing up to Maud to give her a hug.

"Hello Pinkie." Maud stated in an almost monotone voice.

"Hello Maud!" Twilight said, greeting Maud with a smile.

"Hello Twilight." Maud said. "Hello Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity." All the ponies waved. Maud spotted a rock on the ground. She sniffed it. "Metamorphic." She stated. "Did you know this is only an optional part of the rock cycle? Eroded grains of rock can be held together by cement to form a sedimentary rock, then pushed under the surface to be changed into metamorphic by heat and pressure, then it could be eroded again, or pushed farther underneath the surface to be melted and turned into an igneous rock, then it repeats and changes it's course for every rock." Maud paused. So did everypony else's thought process.
