The Cutie Mark Crusaders meet their male versions.

What if a whole different version of you showed up out of nowhere? A male/female version of you, maybe? That's what happened with the CMC.

I did this out of boredom.

The Suprise

"AGAIN!?"

"COME ON!"

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"

"HOW IS THIS MY FAULT!?"

Four small fillies, all covered in frosting and sprinkles. One Pegasus with an orange-ginger coat, a shaggy purple mane and purple eyes. One unicorn, white coat, silky now sticky with icing light purple-and-pink mane. The other two earth ponies, one with a cherry-red mane and a pale yellow coat, and the other with a brown coat and a short pale red mane.

What did they all have in common? They all were blank-flanks.

"I guess we can count out pastry making as our cutie marks." grumbled the unicorn, Sweetie Belle she was called.

"Yeah. But it was still Scootaloo's fault." accused the pale yellow filly, called Apple Bloom, as she pointed at the Pegasus filly,

"My fault!? At least I wasn't the one who mixed up the salt and sugar!" Scootaloo threw an accusing glance at the other earth pony foal.

"Hey! You can't prove it was me!" Babs Seed, the earth filly, protested.

"Girls! Girls! This is getting us nowhere!" Sweetie Belle said.

Apple Bloom nodded, "Yeah. What's next on the list?"

Babs Seed reached behind her back and took a notepad and pencil, "Let's see, we've tried pastry making, that turned out to be a bust." she told them as she crossed out the words 'pastry-making'.

"Next thing is cow-milking." Babs announced. Scootaloo tipped her head on one side, "But how will we do that? Fluttershy won't let us take care of the animals anymore...due to what happened yesterday." the Pegasus filly muttered.

"We can always go to Sweet Apple Acres! They have farm animals!" pointed out Sweetie Belle. Apple Bloom scratched her head, "I could work, but don't set the farm on fire, Scootaloo." she said.

Scootaoo rolled her eyes, "One little mistake and you're marked for life."

"We have to do what with the cow!?"

Sweetie Belle looked in disgust as she poked the bucket under the cow.

"Come on Sweetie! It's not that gross. Sure it's not one of my chores but I always see Applejack do it." Apple Bloom said. Scootaloo walked over to the cow.

"If you're all to scared to do it, I'll do it!" Scootaloo announced.

"Says the chicken." murmured Sweetie Belle as she moved out of the way.

Scootaloo sat on the stool and milked the cow. When she was done she clapped her hooves together, "See? Easy!" she remarked.

Sweetie Belle dipped her hoof in the milk and licked it. She scrunched her nose up, "It's sour!" she sputtered out.

"What?" Apple Bloom shoved Sweetie Belle out of the way, "Let me taste!" she lapped the milk.

"It is sour!" Apple Bloom exclaimed.

"Are you saying I milked the cow wrong?" Scootaloo snarled, "Because if you are..."

"Maybe you did it too tight." suggested Babs Seed.

Apple Bloom shook her head, "Maybe I should take Ol' Betsy to Applejack. Maybe she'll give it to Fluttershy." Apple Bloom said as she patted the cow on the rump.

Babs nodded, "Maybe you should."

Apple Bloom tied the cow's chest with a rope and led her out of the barn.

"Where is that Apple Bloom?" Scootaloo laid on her stomach as she groaned.

"Scoot, it's only been eight minutes," Sweetie Belle patted her friend on the back.

"Yeah, it's not like she'll take hours." Babs added.

A few moments later, Apple Bloom was running back with her mane ruffled.

"Wha-what's the next thing on the list?" she panted.

Sweetie Belle pulled it out, "Gardening." she chirped.

Scootaloo moaned, "Let's get this over with!"

"Gosh darnit! These weeds are hard to pull!" Apple Bloom spat as she tugged on a weed.

"Tell me about it!" huffed Scootaloo. The orange filly was pulling back on a stubborn weed.

"Help!" cried Sweetie Belle. The white unicorn had her horn tangled up in a weed.

"Sweetie Belle! How on earth do you tangle up your horn?!" Babs sighed, but she galloped towards Sweetie Belle.

Babs grabbed the back on Sweetie Belle's shoulders and pulled.

"Ow! Not so hard!" Sweetie Belle squealed.

"Sweetie Belle! Pull!" Babs growled.

Soon, the weed let go of Sweetie Belle's horn and they fell backwards.

"Ow! Sweetie Belle, you're on my leg!" cried Babs Seed.

"Oops! Sorry!" Sweetie Belle chuckled and got off Babs.

"You're as heavy as pig!" Babs said as she rubbed her flank.

"Hey!" protested Sweetie Belle.

"Babs! Did ya help Sweetie?" Apple Bloom came running up to them, Scootaloo by her side.

"Yep." Sweetie replied.

"Good, 'cause I-" began Scootaloo. She was interrupted by a flash of light, and all the crusaders dove into the nearest bush.

"Do ya think that's the princess?" whispered Apple Bloom.

"Why would it be her?" Scootaloo asked.

"Well, we were gardening in Ms. Hayfield's yard." Babs pointed out.

"Without permission." Sweetie Belle added.

"Silver Belle! Whad'ya get us into this time?!" a voice cried out of the bush.

"It isn't my fault, Apple Buck! Brad Seed pulled me hard!" another male voice yelled.

"Hey! At least I helped ya! Unlike Scootaroll." the other spat.

"Well what was I supposed to do? You were closer to him!" the last voice protested.

"I think nothin' happened, guys. See? We're where we started."

Apple Bloom peeked out of the bush, and there stood a pale yellow colt with a short red mane and a cap.

Apple Bloom beckoned the other three with her hoof, "Girls, you gotta see this." she whispered.

One by one, they all made a hole in the bush. Sweetie Belle gasped, too loudly.

It made the four colts spin around.

"Who's there?!" the one who looked like Scootaloo hissed.

"Show yourself!" now Babs Seed colt joined in.

For some reason, this made Scootaloo mad, for she jumped out of the bush.

The Plan

"Show ourselves?! You got some nerve!" Scootaloo rounded on the orange Pegasus colt.

"Scoots, no!" Apple Bloom leaped out of the bush, causing Apple Bloom-colt to drop his jaw at the very sight of her.

"Um...what....who are y-whaaaat?" Scootaloo-male stammered.

Sweetie Belle and Babs Seed crawled out of the bush.

"Um..." Sweetie Belle stared her male version.

Scootaloo backed away from her version, and soon both colts and fillies were face-to-face.

"Who are you?" both groups finally asked.

"Why do you look like me?" Scootaloo-male questioned, pointing a hoof at Scootaloo.

"Me? Why do you look like me? We were here first! Why do you look like us? " Scootaloo shot back.

"What are you talking about?" Scootaloo-colt rolled his eyes, "We're in the place we started."

"Uh...no you aren't! You guys appeared out of nowhere!" Scootaloo growled.

"Ah...did we?" Apple Bloom-colt asked.

"Don't believe her, Apple Buck! That filly's telling lies!" the orange Pegasus colt spat.

"You calling Scoots a liar?"  Babs Seed stepped up.

"What are you gonna do about it?" Babs Seed-colt snarled.

"Guys/Girls! This is getting us nowhere!" Sweetie Belle and her colt version said together.

"He's right." Apple Buck looked at his hooves.

"Pfft. Whatever." Scootaloo grumbled.

"Perhaps we should start over." Babs Seed suggested.'

"We should." her male version agreed.

"Um...okay? We'll start." Apple Buck offered.

"I'm Apple Buck, this here is Scootaroll, Silver Bell, and Brad Seed." he said.

"Nice to meet ya." Apple Bloom shook his hoof, "I'm Apple Bloom, this is Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Babs Seed."

"Why do you look like us?" questioned Scootaloo.

"Ah dunno." Apple Buck shrugged.

"Uh, and what do you mean we showed out of nowhere?" Brad Seed asked.

"Well, you just did. There was a huge flash of light and then you appeared." Babs Seed shrugged, "Just as simple as that."

"How do we know you're not lying?" Scootaroll narrowed his eyes.

"Oh for Celestia's sake! Look at us! You obviously are not from around here!" Scootaloo said.

"Maybe...there's something to this." Silver Bell looked up and down at Sweetie Belle, causing a light pink blush to stain her cheeks.

"Yeah. We all look alike." Apple Bloom agreed.

Brad Seed put his hoof on Babs's nose.

"Uh, what are ya doin'?" Babs raised an eyebrow.

"Jus' tryng to see if you're real." he said, still focused on Babs's eyes.

"What are ya, trying to look into my soul?" Babs swiped his hoof away, "I don't like it."

"Why wouldn't we be real?" Apple Bloom asked.

"I was thinkin' it was maybe a prank by Golden Crown and Copper Spoon." Brad Seed growled.

"Who are they?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Jus' two of the biggest bullies in Ponyville." Apple Buck explained.

"Oh, ya mean like Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon?" Apple Bloom said, spitting the names out as if they were poison.

"Well, if they pick on you for being blank flanks, then yep." Silver Bell piped up.

"Sounds exactly like them." Sweetie Belle said.

"So, what now?" Apple Buck rubbed the back of his head.

"To Twilight's!" Apple Bloom exclaimed.

"Twilight?" Scootaroll asked.

"The town librarian. And a princess!" squealed Sweetie Belle.

"Oh. Sounds a lot like Dusk Shine. Except for the princess part. He's a prince." Silver Bell said.

Scootaloo wing's buzzed, "Let's go!"

The eight foals were trotting to Twilight's, and were now at the center of Town Hall.

"Did you forget were Twilight lives already?" Scootaloo rolled her eyes.

"No...but I thought this was a shortcut or something." Sweetie Belle stated.

"Hey blanks flanks! Whatcha doin'?"

The CMC turned around to see the worst possible fillies the could see in all their life.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

"Who are these colts?" Silver Spoon pointed at Scootaroll and batted her eyelashes, making the Pegasus colt want to gag.

"Leave us alone." Apple Bloom snapped.

Diamond Tiara circled around Apple Bloom, "Not 'till you answer our question." she teased.

"Why do you wanna know?" Scootaloo challenged.

"Because maybe I just want to see if they're interested in us. Oh, and why they look a lot like you." Diamond Tiara said.

"Why would they be interested in you? Have you looked at yourself lately?" Sweetie Belle muttered. But Diamond Tiara heard it.

"Oh, and what about you? You're a unicorn who can't even control your magic. You think colts would want you, you pathetic slob. Come on, Silver. We're wasting our time." Diamond Tiara fused. She and Silver Spoon walked away.

"She...am I really pathetic?" Sweetie Belle slumped to the ground, tears filling her eyes. Before any foal could have a chance to react, Silver Bell dove forward, sitting next to Sweetie Belle and wiping a tear away.

"Don't listen to her. She's wrong. You aren't pathetic, she is." Silver Bell soothed. He pulled Sweetie Belle into a hug.

Oh. My. Celestia. He's hugging me. What do I do? Should I do something? Sweetie Belle did the best she could to hide her blush, but she remained frozen.

Silver Bell pulled away.

"I-thank you, Silver Bell." was all Sweetie Belle managed to say.

"Happy to help." Silver Bell smiled.

Sweetie Belle got up, sniffing but her tears were gone.

"Let's go find Twilight." Apple Bloom said.

"Um, yeah. Ya know what I noticed?" Scootaroll said.

"What?" Apple Buck asked.

"Every pony I see looks like a gender-swapped version of themselves. Did you see those two snobs? They looked a lot like Golden Crown and Copper Spoon." Scootaroll said.

"Yeah, but I'm sure Twilight will figure it out." Brad Seed said, "Whoever she is."

"Well, we found our way, after all that time..." breathed Babs Seed.

"Babs, it's only been minutes since we-" Apple Bloom started, but was interrupted by Babs putting a hoof to her mouth.

"Don't ruin the moment." Babs dramatically sighed then collapsed to the ground.

Sweetie Belle knocked on the door, and it was opened a few moments later by Twilight, who looked like she was very tired. Her mane and tail were ragged.

But Scootaroll gasped at the sight of her, and not because she was a mess.

But because she looked like a cloned Dusk Shine.

The Results

"Oh no! What happened?!"

Twilight rushed over to Scootaroll, who was gaping in shock.

"You....ah-you look like Dusk Shine." gasped Scootaroll.

"Du-Dusk Shine?" Twilight blushed at the name, "Why do you look like Scootaloo?" she asked.

"Don't know. We were kinda hoping you would tell us, though." Silver Bell rubbed his hoof on his leg.

"Of course! Follow me." Twilight went inside the wide open door, and all eight foals followed in after her. Inside the place was a mess, books were stacked everywhere or they were scattered on the floor.

"Forgive the mess." Twilight chuckled nervously, "I-I hadn't had a time to clean up yet."

"Oh, it's alright Twi." Apple Bloom nodded.

"Now, you four colts go over there-" Twilight pointed her hoof towards possibly the only clear space in the library, "-while I observe you."

"Ow! Watch my tail!" whined Silver Bell as Twilight looked over him.

"Oops. Sorry." apologized Twilight. The purple alicorn cleared her throat, "Now, due to my research I can conclude that some powerful magic beam was set off that caused you four to teleport to our universe, where everypony in your universe is the opposite gender."

"So...where basically them?" Apple Buck pointed a hoof at the four fillies across the room.

"Well, not exactly. It's complicated to explain, though." Twilight replied.

"How do we get back?" asked Brad Seed.

"I don't know. Depends on how powerful Silver Bell's magic was."

"It must've been quite powerful to teleport us here." Scootaroll said.

"But why were we teleported here and not them to our universe?" Apple Buck asked, pointing at the fillies once again.

"I don't know. There are some things that are different here and different thing in your world." Twilight shrugged, "I'll try and find a counter spell, I promise. In the meantime, you four and show them around Ponyville."

"Oh! Yes! It'll be so much fun!" squealed Sweetie Belle.

"Yeah...fun." grumbled Scootaloo.

"Um...I'm not so sure." Babs Seed rubbed the back of her head, "I mean, what about everypony else? We were already bothered by Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon."

Twilight thought for a moment, "How about we switch up your colors?" She suggested.

"Worth a shot." mumbled Scootaroll.

Twilight's horn glowed, "You four-" she beckoned the colts, "-stand over there." She pointed to a stack of books.

The four followed, and Twilight shot a beam from her horn, hitting the colts and lifting them up in the air.

A light followed and then Twilight's horn stopped glowing, dropping the four, all colts were different colors.

Applebuck, blue and black mane, black skin, and gray eyes.

Scootaroll, cherry-red mane, dark blue skin, and black eyes.

Silver Bell, brown mane with darkened tips, ivory skin, and purple eyes.

And finally, Brad Seed, white and light green mane, jade-green skin, yellow eyes.

Twilight looked up, her horn slightly burnt, and sighed in relief, "Thank Celestia it worked."

Brad Seed raised his eyebrow, "Who's Celestia?" he asked.

Apple Buck looked at his skin, "Oooh! Cool! Ah've always wondered what it would be like to be a different color!"

Scootaroll winced, "But I'm not my handsome colors anymore!"

Scootaloo rolled her eyes, "Because you were so handsome to begin with!" she sarcastically sighed.

Brad Seed narrowed his eyes, "Who's Celestia?" he asked again.

"Celestia is like the Solaris in your universe." Twilight explained.

"Thank you Miss-" Apple Buck began, but stopped, cocking his head, "What is ya name?"

"Twilight. Twilight Sparkle." the lavender unicorn answered.

"Twilight? You're that unicorn Dusk always talks about!" Silver Belle said.

"Wha-" Twilight's face was all red.

"You're even prettier than he said you were!" Silver continued.

"He-he said what?" Twilight blushed harder.

"Is Dusk the stallion you said was-" Sweetie Belle began, but Twilight put a hoof on her mouth.

"Bye! Thank you all for coming, I'll find a counter spell, I promise!" Twilight rambled, shoving all the foals out the door, then slamming it.

"That was...weird." Apple Bloom said, shrugging.

"Okay, so were do we go now?" Silver Belle asked.

"Sugar Cube Corner!"
