Chapter One: Maud's Coming!

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.

Chapter Two: Maud Meets Discord

After Maud's presentation on the rock cycle, the ponies were brain-dead for about fifteen minutes. (Ponies didn't learn about the rock cycle in schools until about 1156 years later) When they woke up, Twilight being the first to do so, she lead them back to Sugarcube Corner. When they arrived, there was a strange sound.

"What was that." Maud said, barely sounding like a question from her monotone voice.

"Discord..." Twilight said. The sound happened again, followed by a deep, sinister laugh.

"Discord, you got done scaring us when you were turned to stone...for the second time." Rainbow Dash said.

There was a poof of smoke, from which Discord appeared. He put on a pouty face as he said, "Aww that wasn't nice. I guess that's because you aren't the element of kindness, like my dear Fluttershy." He poofed away, and poofed back beside Fluttershy. "Isn't that right, my dear?" He chuckled with a sly grin as he poofed back into the air, and appeared hovering above them. He looked at Maud. "Oh dear, who is that." He poofed to her, and started circling around her, studying her.

"My name is Maud." she said.

"Sorry, could you please repeat that?" Discord asked.

"My name is Maud." Maud echoed.

"Oh my, I am so, so sorry, but I can't understand voices that only stay in one tone, I get bored past the first syllable." Discord said, he started to laugh, and then stopped when he saw everypony giving him a grim stare. His face turned dull. "Oh I've forgotten how grim you could be..." He sat in a big poofy chair that poofed out of the poofy air. He poofed his poofy self in and---

"Wow, you hired a terrible narrator." Discord said, interrupting me JUST LIKE PINKIE! "Oh I'm sorry, you can continue narrating, just don't say 'poof' so much, and why do you keep trying to spell narrator like 'nararator?'" How about you stick to your dialogue and stop pointing out my mistakes. By this time, the ponies were wondering who Discord was talking to, and where this strange voice was coming from---oh wait a minute. I muted myself from the characters. Alright, that was a major crashing of the fourth wall...but ANYWAY, back to the story.

"So Maud..." Discord asked. "Where are you from, may I ask?"

"I live on a rock farm...with rocks." Maud says. "It's where I got my pet, his name is boulder, he's a rock." Maud took out the rock.

"Pfft!" Discord exclaimed, and laughed. "That's not a boulder! This is a boulder, my dear." He poofed---made the rock into a boulder. Maud's eyes went wide. She instinctively struck the rock with one hoof, shattering it to pieces. Then she got the one piece in the middle, which was her pet rock. Discord stared in amazement.

"That was fun to watch." Discord said. "Well, I'd better get going. Unless you needed my help with anything like perhaps, a spell?" He raised an eyebrow to Pinkie, who looked back at him.

"Maybe, but not now!" Pinkie said with a smile.

"Call me when you need me!" Discord exclaimed laughing.

After he left, Twilight asked, "Pinkie, are you crazy?!"

"Yeah, just a little bit." Pinkie replied.

Chapter Four: Somethin' Ain't Right

For days the neither Pinkie Pie, nor Maud came out from Sugarcube Corner. Based on the script I'm reading from, this may be referencing Cupcakes...wait a minute..."Does not mean Cupcakes happens...that is not a thing." Oh okay, no worries, no Cupcakes, no copyright! But anyways, the ponies were starting to wonder what happened. They all grew concerned. The lights were always off, the doors closed...Uh oh, is this a clopfic? "IS NOT CLOPFIC EITHER!" okay, well that made things clear. This script is so confusing, but THEN and only when it gets confusing, does it explain itself. BUT ANYVAY, the ponies got concerned and then thought it was probably Discord. So they looked for him. He came to them later on.

"Why hello my little ponies!" he exclaimed. "What would you need at this moment?"

"We want to know where Pinkie and Maud are!" Rainbow Dash shouted.

"Oh..." Discord said. He looked down to the ground with a face of guilt. "about that..."

"What did you do Discord?" Twilight asked.

"I intensified the spell and well..." Discord paused. "You should probably see for yourselves..."

With that the ponies trotted to Sugarcube Corner. They busted in the doors and what they saw was disturbing beyond all measures. It was something that nopony with the cruelest, or most screwed up minds could imagine. The way Pinkie looked, and the way Maud looked. Maud's mane was poofed up exactly like Pinkie Pie's mane used to be, and Pinkie Pie's mane was straight. As she walked slowly, Maud literally jumped off the walls shouting, "woohoo!"

"Oh dear Celestia..." Twilight said.

"This could be a problem..." Applejack said.

"Yeah...Big problem..." Rainbow Dash also said.

Something wasn't right, and the ponies knew what it was...

Pinkie and Maud...

Had Switched Places...

Chapter Five: Blaming Discord and Finding the Solution in the Next Chapter!

Sorry for the long wait---

THAT'S NOT PART OF THE STORY GOSH DINGAS!

Oh shut up TSA, why are you in my story?!

BECAUSE I CAN BE

*NOPES*

That's an inside joke. Now back to our story.

Pinkie and Maud were acting like each other, and the ponies were scared out of their minds because Pinkie being that boring? What if they needed to use the elements? Maud couldn't do that! And neither could Pinkie, because she was just like Maud! There had to be something done, but like always the ponies decided to do something more important.

"DISCORD THIS WAS YOUR FAULT!" They screamed, except Fluttershy.

"My fault?" Discord asked with a poutish face.

"YES!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "YOU TURNED THEM INTO THE OPPOSITE OF EACH OTHER!!"

"Goodness, stop with the all caps!" Discord said. Everypony gave him a confused look. "Nevermind, and by the way they aren't the opposite, their personalities just switched and why say it's my fault? I merely was helping friends in need, I didn't know the potion would do this, but I noted that you seemed to hesitate. Too busy with more important things? That's okay just leave it to Discord to fix it. I can fix it, but this is such a valuable lesson! That you should always keep your friends in mind before doing other things."

"Well we learned, now switch them!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Well I can't do that." Discord said. "You see, you can't learn a lesson if you done make up for it!" With that, Discord poofed---went away.

"Well girls..." Twilight said. "Looks like we've got a problem to solve."

IN THE NEXT CHAPTER!

Finding the Solution in this Chapter!

Twilight took the four ponies, Pinkimaud, and Maudie as they were now called, first part of their names referring to who they actually were, and last part to who they were acting like----

NOPONY SAID THERE WOULD BE SCIENCE!

Ow my ears....why do these people keep getting into my narraration?

Ceartainly wasn't me.

Discord you aren't even in this chapter!

Awww..

Shoo! Go away! Now back to the story.

Twilight and the others trotted to Zecora's house in Everfree, using Fluttershy's knowledge of said creepy forest. While hearing a feint sound of 'Radioactive by Imagine Dragons' because that's what the narrator was listening to at the time, they knocked on her door.

"What." Zecora said, opening the door.

"We have a problem." Twilight said. She showed Zecora Maudie and Pinkimaud.

"Ugh." Zecora sighed. "Come on, get in." The ponies noticed her voice was raspy and that she seemed tired. She hadn't made a single rhyme.

"Why aren't you making rhymes like usual?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I don't feel like it." Zecora replied. She fixed up a potion, and drunk something from a bottle.

"Zecora...is that...?" Twilight asked.

"No..." Zecora said, "just a potion in a Vodka bottle." The ponies were relieved. "That I emptied earlier." She continued to pour things together. The ponies stared with surprised faces. She put the potion down, shook it up, and divided it. She gave it to both ponies. They drunk it and a big magical thing happened. But they weren't exactly the same...Maud's mane was messed up, and Pinkie's mane was straight. Maud had a sharp stone carving tool with her, and Pinkie had a huge kitchen knife.

Wait wait wait! I, the narrator shouted in confusion that, I thought this was no Cupcakes!

Be right back as I consult my script writer.

~

~

~

He said the scriptwriter was actually me, so I got nothin....

Anyway, so they ran to Sugarcube Corner suddenly having knowledge of how they got to Everfree and how they were going to get back. The other ponies stared madly at Zecora.

"Will a rhyme make you feel better?" Zecora asked with a sheepish smile.

Alright guys, I said totally not following the rules of quotation marks around dialogue because I didn't feel like it. Sergeant Sprinkles should be here any second now.

Rainbow Dash was a bit frightened. Everypony waited...

And waited...

And waited...

UNTIL THE VOORP VOORP OF A TARDIS SOUNDED! Doctor Whooves came out of a blue police box with the legendary Sergeant Sprinkles after heroically destroying Daleks that came out of no where!

"He's here!" Twilight shouted in delight. "What now?"

Now...hehehe...lets go practice medicine---wait wrong reference...

Now, we see what we need to do. Sarge, you know the situation, what do you suggest? I said to Sergeant Sprinkles. Rainbow Dash noticed Sarge glaring at her.

"What?" Rainbow Dash said.

"I'll catch you yet my pretty..." Sergeant Sprinkles said. "And your little turtle, too!"

"Um, actually h...he's a t..tortoise..." Rainbow Dash said, visibly shaken.

"Whatever!" Sarge replied. "It doesn't matter!" Sarge looked at me, as Doctor Whooves's appearance was forgotten, so Dr. Who left. "So, what's this, Maud and Pinkie Cupcakes, because Zecora and Vodka, am I correct?"

Yuss, you iz corect. I said.

"Why do I have to use correct grammar and spelling with quotations, and you don't?" Sarge asked out of no where.

I dunno, I can use quotes if it makes you feel better.

"IT WILL MAKE EVERYONE FEEL BETTER!" Random viewer said.

"Hey get outta my story!" I said..."OH NO I HAVE QUOTATIONS...AHH!"

"No time to panic!" Sarge said. "This is up to you and me!"

"Right!" I replied recollecting myself. Suddenly, there was evil and maniacal laughter. We looked up to see a purple cloud with a troll face. It had text on it that read "HASBRO".

"I AM THE EVIL VILLAN...COPYRIGHT!" The evil copyright villain said in it's OP font size and color. "I WILL COPYRIGHT YOUR STORY FIRST, THEN FIMFICTION, THEN ALL OF THE BRONY COMMUNITIES FAN WORKS...JUST LIKE FIGHTING IS MAGIC!!!!" There was a gasp among the crowd of ponies as the evil villain copyright went away. We knew in all of our hearts that the evil villain copyright was...

HASBRO!

Chapter Three: Surprise!!!

After Discord FINALLY left, the Mane Six and Maud followed Pinkie to Sugarcube Corner. Pinkie was hopping along, she had the capability to hop five feet forward, but because of Maud's slowness, she had to hop about five centimeters forward. Once Sugarcube Corner appeared over the horizon, Pinkie squeed and sped up to about 180,000 Miles Per Second, and approached the building. Realizing she had forgotten to tell the other ponies something, she sped back twice as fast.

"Oh, wait before you go in!" she squeaked, before going back to Sugarcube Corner...*looks at paper* five times as fast as two times as fast as the speed of light? It's Pinkie...Don't ask. Yeah, touche. Anyway, she got back to Sugarcube Corner and went in.

When the others finally arrived, Pinkie motioned them to come in, and for Maud to close her eyes. When they came in, Pinkie shouted, "Suuuuuuur-PRISE!" She sprayed confetti all over the ponies. There was rock candy everywhere, lots of posters and papers reading, 'WELCOME BACK MAUD!!!!!'. The room was so well decorated, that it had come to notice that Pinkie used her Party Cannon.

There were lot's of delishious...delicious refreshments-icantspellworthcrap-and sweets. Well, sugarcube corner was kind of...just sweets. I never knew why they called it a restaurant, it never serves ACTUAL food---

"CUPCAKES ARE ACTUAL FOOD!!!" Pinkie shouted at me. I THOUGHT I MUTED MYSELF! I said. "I CAN HEAR EVERYTHING!!!" Pinkie responded. Eh, should have known. Anyway, they had a nice time. Twilight and the others decided to give Maud and Pinkie some family time. After they left, they saw Discord floating in. They had a sense of trouble, but disregarded it, besides, what's the worst that could happen?

I forgot to number the chapter, so now we find the next solution!

After a rampage of pony-swears on Zecora, the five ponies made their way to Sugarcube Corner. They looked in and saw that the lights were off, and the place was closed. Twilight decided that she would make their entrance epic by blasting the doors into pieces and actually just making herself have to pay huge repair fees. Twi and the others because I don't feel like specifying them, walked into Sugarcube Corner. They saw Maud and Pinkie with their weapons covered in a red liquid. The ponies gasped, until they smelt a strong smell of paint. The smell came soon, so they didn't run out of breath and suffocate from gasping for too long. It seemed they had spilled on the floor.

"We ran out of our original red liquid." Pinkie said. Then the ponies gasped again for three seconds so they would be able to breathe. They knew that even though the script said that Cupcakes wasn't going to happen, that it was going to happen anyway because of peanuts, and that they must save the authors story from Copyright, but how? They thought and thought and then they contacted me.

"Author of the story!" Twilight said. I decided to be a troll and not say anything.

"You just did!" said Rainbow Dash. Wait a minute...CREP

What do you need Twilight. I said, even though I was fully aware of what was happening.

"We need you to---" Twilight realized what I said at the last part of my dialogue. "You know! You are writing this story!" She shouted.

Oh yeah, okay well lets think about this.

We thought.

And Thought

And thought.

AND A SOLUTION!

But it doesn't work so we thought some more.

And a solution for realz this time.

I think I know what we need to do, before this story gets copyrighted and we make people angry for ripping off cupcakes. I said.

"What?!" The ponies shouted.

"We have to..." I said.

"We have to..." They echoed.

We

Have

To

Contact

Sergeant Sprinkles

The ponies gasped.

"Sergeant Sprinkles?!" Rainbow Dash said. "But I may die!"

Get over it, you'd die either way, but this way has less of a chance.

"Huh, touche." Dash responded with her fancy French words even though France isn't a county in Equestria...

"So what are you waiting for author? Go get him!" Applejack said.

I can't just get him! That would make more copyright issues! I have to call him after the chapter and ask him! The ponies sighed. Don't worry, I'll get him after this chapter.

UNTIL NEXT TIME...
