"Brother we're out of money, what do we do now?" Flam asked as they walked through the Elderfree forest.
The Flim Flam brothers had just been chased out of another town, Talltale. For yet another tryout ofor their "magical" tonic.
"I don't know, we have tried everything. Cider machine, magic tonic and.... Well maybe not everything, but maybe we shouldn't sell stuff anymore, what about...." Flim stopped and tapped his chin thinking. What could they do next that maybe would be successful.
"A circus?" Flam suggested.
"Yeah, good idea.... But! We don't have anythingto preform. Animals, clowns.... Uhhh I don't remember what is on a circus."
"Animals... We need that the most I think." Flam said.
"But how?" Flim asked, both of them knew nothing of animals or a circus. They looked at each other and sighed, then they jst began to walk. They had no idea where they were going. But just all of sudden, Flim tripped ouver something.
"Whaaa!...." He yelped as he fell face first in the dirt. When he finally got his head out of the dirt he looked back at what he had tripped on. A little piece of dirt?! But something wasn't right, it looked like it had been digged. "What the heck is this?!" He asked.
Flam walked over and helped his brother up, they walked over to the little pile of dirt and began to dig. After a while they found a box. "What do you think it is?" Flam asked.
Flim looked at his brother, "seriously?! We haven't opened it yet" Flim said. He used his magic and lifted the box, they placed it between them. "Let's see" he used his magic and forcefully opened the box.
Inside was a strange necklace. It was a black large base formed as an alicorn, in the middle was one big red gemstone.
"What is it?" Flim asked looking at his brother.
Flam who actually had been studying magic when he was a little younger, knew. He had been studying for Canterlot school for gifted unicorns, unfortunately he wasn't accepted. "It's the alicorn amulet!" He gasped.
The brothers had been studying two different things in their young years, Flam who tried on magic but failed. Flim had been studying sales and marketing, unfortunately he wasn't the best but he was good. B+, that wasn't that bad.
"What is the alicorn amulet?" Flim asked.
"Put it on! Your magic will be unstoppable!"
"Maybe we can start now that we have unlimited with magic and powers!" The smirked to each other.
Darkness, it was all she could see. Oh wait her eyes was still closed! Applejack opened her eyes, but quickly closed the, as bright light entered them. When she finally manged to open them, she found herself in a cage. It was a big cage, much room hey on the floor, a water bucket in a corner. On both sides on the cage was thick iron bars, Applejack began to approach the bars but fell as she took a step forward. Something was wrong, her body felt different. She looked down at her body, it wasn't a pony anymore. She jumped, but landed on her face as she landed.
"Ow..." She muttered as she sniffed her nose. She took a look at her body again, it was some kind of cat animal. Lion maybe, yeah lion. "What the?..." She asked herself.
"Applejack?!" Was heard not far away, Applejack finally manged to walk to the bars. There right outside was other cages. Applejack looked over, trying to find who was speaking. Finally her eyes caught a small elephant awake in the cage next to her. The elephant was yellow with pink decore on her head, her eyes was sea green.
"F-Fluttershy?! What the hey is going on?!" Applejack asked. "What the hey happen to ya?"
"Me? Well... I'm a elephant, and your a lion" she said. "But I don't know what happened to the others or why we're in cages." She said "if that's okey "
"It's fine fluttershy, if ya don't know ya don't know, that's it. But what do we do?" Applejack smiled to Fluttershy, who gave a small smile back.
"Urg...." They heard from the front. They turned their head, Applejack almost bursted out laughing as she saw Rainbow dash. She knew it was her because of the traits. She was blue and had RD's cutie mark. "What the...." She looked up and around. When she noticed Fluttershy and Applejack she tried to walk towards them, but she found out she didn't have any backlegs. "Ahh!!! What the buck?!"
"Rainbow calm down! We'll find a way out of this" Applejack yelled, while Rainbow was freaking out. But they couldn't blame her, she had lost what made her special, her wings.
"that's easy for you to say! Your a freakng lion! Wait.... Your a lion!!" She suddenly bagan to panic about the lion.
Applejack sighed "ah know! Just calm down, we need a plan. So ya got any?"
Rainbow just managed to calm down a little. "Well no, I just woke up"
*beep, beep*
The three animals turned toward the sound, starting at the ground in a really small cage was the pink car.
"Pinkie! If that is you beep once!" Applejack said.
*beep*
"Okey, uhh.... One beep will be yes and two will be no. Just so we can understand you"
*beep*
They stared at Pinkie for a while. "Pinkie do you know what happened?" Fluttershy gently asked.
*beep, beep*
They stared at each other.
"Urg... Can't a lady get her beauty sleep?" Came from the last cage. A snake like Rarity came out from the shadow.
"Uhh, Rarity... Not to make you panic, but your a snake you know that?" Rainbow said, Rarity looked over herself and screamed.
"What happened to my beautiful body?!" She cried. Rainbow steard at her a little angry.
"Finally! Your all awake!" Came from their left, they turned to see somepony at least one of them hated. The Flim Flam brothers!
"Get yer flanks over here so ah can kick yer flanks to tartarus!" Applejack screamed out in anger. Her anger had grown to dangerous, she actually jumped toward them scratching her new claws at them.
"Fight all you want, you are not going anywhere." Flim teased, he closed in on Applejack's face "sooner or later you're going to enjoy your new life" Applejack snapped at him, in anger she reached forward and tried to bite him in his ugly face. "ah, ah... Don't bite the only one that can turn you back" Applejack growled at him.
"But we need to hurry, we got a show to start" Flam said, as they both left the room.
"What now?" Rarity asked.
"Twilight! Twilight will help us!" Fluttershy said, trying to get the mood up. "Hopefully"
