The Case of the Missing Package

It was another normal day in Ponyville, the weather team had cleared the skies and a cool breeze prevented the residents of the small town from overheating. The towns local librarian, Twilight Sparkle was happily browsing a few of the stands in the market with her assistance Spike.

"... And our stock in terms of quills?" Twilight ask as Spike held up a scroll.

"Were have plenty. No need for us to make a stop by Quills and Sofas, unless you want to get a new sofa." Spike happily replied, adding several ticks to the parchment.

"Then one we have at the moment if fine Spike, replacing it would be too expensive anyway." Twilight sighed. "Although it would be nice... Some of the wooden furniture is getting a bit ratty..." The pair scanned various stalls, hoping to find someone that could eliminate wood rot and dry rot.

"Maybe if somepony wasn't out saving Equestria they would have the time to maintain their house!" Spike taunted.

"We have only ever been gone for two days tops Spike. Wood rot and dry rot form over years... It was probably because the library was abandoned for so long..." Twilight sighed happily. "Remember when we first came from Canterlot? There was a massive party that I missed..."

"Yeah, you have changed a lot Twilight." Spike happily said. "You were all like 'who needs friends' and 'I need to stop Nightmare Moon!' and maybe a bit of 'if I don't get my friendship report to the Princess I'm going to be thrown into the Canterlot dungeons!' but now your different..." Spike fought hard to restrain a laugh.

"Yeah, I still remember those. But sometimes change isn't all that bad..." Twilight's speech was interrupted by Spike coughing suddenly. "You alright..." Twilight was interrupted by Spike coughing up a scroll. "Oh a letter from Princess Celestia!" Twilight levitated the scroll into her saddlebag, ignoring Spike who was still coughing.

"H-Hey Twilight, do you think coughing up scrolls every other day is good for my body?" Spike weakly inquired after his coughing fit was over. "Maybe we should go see a vet or something..."

"Hm, you have been getting worse. Maybe a trip to the vet ins't such a bad idea." Twilight said with a hint of worry in her voice. "Maybe I should write to the Princess and ask her to stop sending her letters through you... You might just need some rest. Come on, lets head back. I need to see what the Princess has written." Twilight perked up and the pair returned to the library.

The library itself was in a bit of a state, Twilight had recently tried to reorganize the books with her own system and had little success. Twilight and Spike had started to organize some of the mess, however their plans for the day had gotten in the way. After wading her way through a small river of books Twilight sat down on her sofa and sighed, removing her saddlebags and taking out the scroll Celestia had written.

"So what did the Princess say?" Spike curiously asked as he hopped on the sofa. "Does Equestria need saving again?"

"No..." Twilight laughed. "I should be expecting a package today... However, if I missed the courier then he will leave it with one of my friends..." Twilight sighed. "I guess I better go find them, where do you think the courier would have gone?"

"Hmmm..." Spike placed a claw on his chin and went into deep thought. "Maybe the Apple's farm. Seeing as that hard to miss."

"Not bad Spike, lets go their first. I'm curious to what the Princess has sent me..." Twilight replied, the pair headed out the library, leaving it in a mess and towards Applejack's place.

"Sorry Twi, I have been up in the orchards all day." Applejack explained. "Big Mac might have seen them, but..."

"Don't worry, its perfectly fine. The letter the Princess sent said that she didn't know who to send it to if I wasn't in..." Twilight meekly chuckled. "I guess me and Spike should get going, let you get back to the orchard..."

"Well, I finished my chores an hour ago. I was just doing a bit of extra work for the farm... And what kind of friend would I be if I didn't offer a helping hoof?" Applejack happily replied.

"Thanks Applejack, but I think I can handle this." Twilight replied stubbornly.

"I have to admit, I am mighty curious about what the Princess has sent you." Applejack continued, ignoring what Twilight had said. "It must be something important." Twilight sighed.

"Alright, you can tag along. But I think it would be best if we split up. If you go check up on Rarity I will head to Fluttershy's." Twilight stated happily. "Then if we still haven't found the package, we can meet up outside of Rainbow's house and then head to Sugarcube Corner."

"Wow..." Spike remarked. "How long have you been planning this Twilight?"

"About thirty seconds..." Twilight smugly remarked.

"So nopony has had any luck finding the package the Princess sent me?" Twilight despaired.

"Nope, sorry." Applejack replied followed by a sheepish laugh.

"We um... Didn't see any courier pony..." Fluttershy quietly added.

"I'm dreadfully sorry. I was in the 'zone' for the better half of the day. If anypony had knocked I wouldn't of heard them..." Rarity said, feigning a fall and landing on a large seat she had moved over while in fall.

"I was in the skies keeping the rain from drifting over. I didn't see anypony looking for you." Rainbow Dash huffed. "What's so important about it anyway? Is it an old book or something?"

"I don't know, that's why we need to find it! The letter the Princess sent was very brief..." Twilight sighed. "Well we can see if Pinkie has gotten it, then..."

"Oh hey!" Twilight quickly perked up, she saw Pinkie approaching at high speeds.

"Pinkie!" Twilight happily shouted, unaware of how noisy she was being. "We were just about to come visit you!"

"Well funny you should say that! I was looking for you, because I saw somepony and they gave me a tub of jelly that I couldn't open! I mean, why? But then they told me it was for you, so I went to the library to give it to you! But you weren't in so I decided to go see if you were helping Applejack, because I know you are a great friend like that! But neither you or Applejack was at the farm, so then I said to myself, 'Pinkie, if you were Twilight where would you hide?' And then it hit me and I went to Fluttershy's cottage, because shes good at hiding and could give me some advice! But then she wasn't there and I got all sad and though you had all run away! Isn't that silly?" Pinkie quickly said, causing everypony to sigh and roll their eyes simultaneously.

"Pinkie..."

"So then I decided to go see if Rarity was in, maybe something fancy was happening! But then Rarity wasn't in... However! Somepony said they saw Rarity and Applejack heading to Rainbow's house! And I was like, 'of course they went there!' So I then went to Rainbow's house! Well under it anyway... But nopony was there, so then I decided to head back! And that's when I bumped into you!"

"Wait..." Twilight said rubber her forehead. "Did you say a tub of jelly?"

"Yeah! Somepony asked me if I was Twilight's friend and I said of course! Then he gave this strange plastic tub of jelly that I can't seem to open!" Pinkie pulled a small clear plastic tub out of her hair, the tub was filled to the brim with a purple jelly. A seal that Twilight was very familiar with engraved the lid.

"Oh I see! That's why you couldn't open it. The Princess has put a magical seal on the box. I can easily unseal the box." Twilight picked the box up with her magic and inspected the seal closer. "Wow... I haven't seen the Princess use this seal in years... We used to send little items in boxes to each other in order to get the technique right."

"Wait, so its sealed with magic?" Rainbow inquired. "Then how are ponies without magic supposed to open it?"

"Ideally, these kinds of seals would be given to non-unicorn couriers in order to stop theft. Seals haven't been used in a long time though." Twilight explained. "It was just something I studied in my spare time at Canterlot, when the Princess found out she offered me a chance to practice opening and sealing." Twilight sighed nostalgically.

"So, open it up then!" Rarity interrupted. "The tension is getting too much! A mysterious package seal with a magic two used to practice in the days of young! Its like something out of a romance novel..." Rarity sighed happily.

"This should be easy to open..." Twilight focused on the tub and seal vanished. "See! Not too hard to unlock." Twilight eyed up the box and placed it on the ground. "I can't help but feel like this is some kind of joke... She sent me a tub of jelly..."

"Well, lets open that puppy! I'm starving!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Do you know what its like to carry a tub of jelly around all day? Open the lid and..." Pinkie paused, the tub of jelly started to shake. "Wow, that must be super jelly! Its going to explode out of the tub soon."

"Wait! Since when does jelly explode?" Applejack yelled, the tub began to rock back and forth. "Now what the hay is it doing?"

"Its almost as if its alive..." Fluttershy quietly squeaked from behind Rainbow Dash. The tub slowed down slightly. "Its like it can hear us..."

"Hey jelly! If you can hear us, rock faster!" Rainbow shouted loudly, the tub of jelly went back to rocking at a fast pace. "Alright... That was a fluke... Now rock slower." The tub rocked more slowly. "Slower..." The tub slowed down again. "Slower..." The tub stopped. "Alright, you can rock again." The tub started rocking at a medium pace. "Yeah, that jelly can hear us." Rainbow smugly said.

"Alright then..." Twilight sighed. "I will open it." The tub ceased all movements as Twilight slowly removed the lid with her magic.

"Talk about a tight fit, I can't believe the Princess shipped me in a tub rather then paying for a train ticket! Not to mention she soundproofed the tub so that I couldn't be heard! As if I talk too much!" A voice coming from the jelly joked.

"That can't be..." Twilight slowly said.

"I told you it was alive!" Rainbow triumphantly said.

"Awwww... Does this mean we can't eat it?" Pinkie said sound rejected.

"Sorry Sugarcube, but I don't think we should... Talking jelly... I guess you won that one Rainbow." Applejack proceeded to take her hat of and began to eat it.

"Wow... You remember that bet?" Rainbow fell on the floor laughing. "And now... You're eating your hat!"

"Don't gloat darling, its unbecoming." Rarity sighed. "But I must admit, this is certainly a oddity... I mean, talking jelly!" Rarity moved over to the tub and inspected it closely. "I wonder..."

"Don't think about it!" The jelly snapped and rocked away from Rarity. "That counts as cannibalism!"

"Cannon-ball-isum? Is that a pony that enjoys doing cannon balls? I would love to meet a pony like that!" Pinkie happily exclaimed. "Maybe its a secret order of ponies that worship cannonballs as their messiah!"

"Uh..." The jelly was at a loss for words. "Maybe? I don't know much about cults." The jelly sighed and small ripple came from the center.

"A ripple? So are you breathing..?" Twilight inquired.

"Well sorta..." The jelly slowly rocked its tub over to Twilight. "I don't have to breath, and the ripple was caused by the sounds. I'm not very stable when in a tub."

"So then.. Why don't you ripple when you speak?" Rainbow interjected.

"I don't know." The jelly flatly replied. "Do you honestly expect me to know everything about my anatomy? I mean come on, how am I even talking!? In this state I don't have a mouth... Or a brain... Or any kidneys, livers, lungs, blood and anything else you fleshy little ponies have."

"Woah no need to blow a fuse, I was just asking." Rainbow huffed.

"Well, I am allowed. I have spent the better part of the day stuck in tub that was stuck in someponies hair. Only to be taken out and then barraged with questions!" The jelly snapped. "Oh did I mention how hot it got in here? Plus, I think half of you are considering taking a chunk out of me!" The jelly sighed. "Sorry... Its not easy being made of goo..."

An awkward silence fell on the group, the whole ordeal had happened a few meters away from the town center and a large amount of ponies had come to see the commotion. Once the silence had started they all began to murmur, most of the murmurs were about what flavor the talking jelly was.

"Maybe we should go somewhere more private?" Rarity suggested.

"Well the library is a mess, I doubt we would all be able to sit comfortably." Twilight sighed.

"I can't house anypony for a while... My whole shop is full of unfinished designs..." Rarity added.

"I live in a cloud so I don't think its a good idea to go there." Rainbow mumbled.

"We could go back to my cottage..." Fluttershy quietly suggested. "I just finished cleaning and wouldn't mind have somepony over before the animals mess it up again..."

"We could head back to the farmhouse. Granny and Apple bloom are visiting the city for a family recipe exchange." Applejack added.

"We could go Sugarcube Corner! The jelly might be happily with other sweet things!" Pinkie excitedly suggested. "Plus its really really close!"

"For the sake of convenience lets head to Sugarcube corner." Twilight stated. "Alright jelly, you don't mind me putting the lid back on so you?"

"Well I kind of d..." The jelly went silent as the lid was placed over it.

"Well as long as its okay with you then." Twilight chuckled. "Alright lets go to..." Twilight turned around and saw the crowd that had gathered around. "Don't you ponies have jobs!?" The ponies quickly dispersed, whispering about Twilight's mood as they returned to their lives.

The Mystery of the Magical Talking Jelly

"That is one unhappy tub of jelly Twilight!" Pinkie exclaimed as the tub of jelly violently rocked back and forth. "You might wanna open the lid, it might explode out!" Pinkie gently poked the tub, which only seemed to annoy the jelly further.

"Alright." Twilight sighed and the jelly stopped. "I will open the lid, however you need to be calm. Rock once for yes and twice for no." The tub of jelly slowly rocked once. "Alright then..." Twilight sighed and undid the lid with her magic.

"Thank you, that infernal prison is the very bane of my life." The jelly chuckled. "It was enchanted so that nothing from the inside could break it."

"So the Princess made it so you couldn't get out, and nopony could get in? Why would she do that!?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"She was worried I would jump out and scare the courier... I have a bit of a habit of pulling the odd prank when I get restless." The jelly jiggled around calmly. "Now would be a good time to get out of this forsaken tub."

"So... Why don't you?" Applejack curiously inquired as she gently poked the jelly. "There ain't no invisible lid on, is there?"

"Hehehe! That tickled. But alas, you are wrong." The jelly explained. "The Princess put in a final line of defense, a mental block on my mind that prevents me from taking shape."

"And uhhh..." Applejack found herself poking the jelly a second time. "Why did she do that?"

"So that if I was stolen by anything I would be unable free myself, take form or do anything else to draw attention to myself. You would be surprised how many ponies have tried to capture me." The jelly polity replied. "Its all for my own safety."

"Uh-huh, so how do will unblock your mind?" Rainbow Dash joined in. "I will admit, I'm kinda curious to what you look like exactly."

"Oh that's simple. The pony who was supposed to be delivered to should know the phrase to unblock my mind." The jelly rotated the tub it was in and stopped when one of its faces was facing Twilight.

"Uh, Princess Celestia didn't put anything like that in her letter!" Twilight panicked slightly. "In fact, all she said was that I was receiving a package!"

"I see." The jelly sighed loudly. "Was there anything odd about the letter? Did you bring it with you?" The jelly asked calmly. "I don't want to be stuck in this tub any longer then I have to."

"Other then it being incredibly short... Nothing was odd. She addressed it the usual way, to my faithful student." Twilight rubbed her forehead. "I can magic up a copy, I remember it word for word." Before the jelly could respond Twilight materialized an ethereal scroll and held it in front of the tub.

"I don't know what I am looking for." The jelly flatly stated. "I was told that upon reaching you I would be set free."

"Perhaps the Princess said something to you that might have been the word?" Twilight suggested.

"Well, it all seemed normal enough. She briefed me about what was going to happen, packed me into the tub and then started talking about the migration of birds in Equestria." The jelly chuckled. "She had a habit of doing that when I was stuck."

"Maybe..." Pinkie joined in the discussion. "Just maybe... The pass phrase is bird!" Pinkie happily concluded.

"So... You're saying that the word is bird?" The jelly slowly concluded.

"Nothing?" Pinkie said sound rejected.

"Nothing, sorry. But that has got me thinking. Doesn't the Princess own a bird?" The jelly inquired. "I mean, like a really rare bird."

"Yes... She owns a phoenix." Twilight replied. "Did that help?"

"I'm just thinking, hear me out. What if the Princess knew how you would react and somehow knew that the conversation would end up with birds? What if the phrase is the name of her phoenix?" The jelly said excitedly.

"Philomena." Fluttershy quietly spoke out.

"Did it work?" Twilight asked.

"Yes... I remember what I used to look like." The jelly started. "I can get out of this infernal tub of plastic..." The jelly happily rocked its tub back and forth.

"Woah settle down, you might tip your tub..." Rarity started, however the jelly didn't seem interested on stopping. It continued rocking the tub until it fell over. Rarity sighed and lifted the tub up with a simple levitation spell. "See..." The jelly was now a large puddle.

"How did so much jelly fit in such a small tub?" Rainbow asked. "Wait never-mind, magic right?" Much to the surprise of Twilight and her friends, the jelly did not reply. Instead it slowly started to rise.

The first section to form were the legs. Four distinctive legs slowly started to build up from the jelly until reaching the height of an average pony. Then the body started to form out of the purple jelly. Slowly but surely the jelly began to take form. After the neck and head had formed properly, a bright turquoise mane and tail grew out. Finally features such as cutie mark, eyes, ears, mouth and nose appeared.

"Ah, it feels good to be back in my own shape." The jelly pony happily trotted around the vicinity of the sweet shop. "You never know how much you will miss having a body until you are stuffed in Tupperware for three days straight."

"So... You're a pony?" Rainbow curiously asked, poking the jiggly stomach of the jelly pony.

"Its a substance that is similar to jelly yes." The jelly pony replied. "I was born normal, like most ponies. The magical spark that occurred when I got my cutie mark caused a chain reaction in my body that shifted the substance I was made of." The pony chuckled. "A lot of doctors were poking at me back then, trying to see if the process is reversible."

"I take it they had no luck?" Rarity asked sorrowfully.

"Not in my case. Normally this happens when experimenting with various 'substances' and doing magic. However it happened to me because I was exposed to large amount of magic while developing in the womb." The jelly pony sighed. "By the way, ironically... I'm Jelly, Jelly Bean."

"Jelly Bean huh? I guess that works..." Rainbow rubbed her forehead.

"Family owns a little sweet shop in the western side of Canterlot. I am set to inherit it when they retire!" Jelly Bean happily said.

"So then why did the princess send you all the way out here?" Twilight asked.

"I don't know..." Jelly Bean slowly replied. "The Princess didn't really tell me why she was send me out here. I was kinda stuffed into a tub and then given to a pony who didn't agree with trains.

"This seems really odd if you ask me..." Rainbow Dash said with an accusing tone.

"Well I believe her." Rarity defended. "After all, the Princess did tell Twilight that she would be getting a package."

"True... But I've got my eye on you..." Rainbow Dash said threateningly. "So don't try and funny business."

"I'm a pony made out of goo. Funny business is my business." Jelly Bean cheerily replied, ignoring Rainbow's threat. "You try and be goo and not get into trouble every day!"

"Alright... I'l give you that. However, you have to let me put you in our water pipes. The when somepony goes to have a shower or something, you come out! It would be hilarious." Rainbow Dash happily suggested.

"I did that once in Canterlot, caused a blockage in the pipes for four days. Now that was hilarious! All the rich ponies were panic buying water!" Jelly Bean chuckled happily. "Best part is, they still haven't figured out it was me!"

"That sounds a tad unsafe." Rarity interjected before the situation got worse. "Maybe you should try and settle down first."

"Yeah... I guess. I mean, it was only for a day..." Jelly Bean replied, sounding slightly guilty. "I..." Jelly Bean sighed sorrowfully, small amounts of goo were trickling down her body and onto the floor.

"You alright?" Applejack asked. "You seem to be uh... Dripping a bit."

"Oh yeah, that!" Jelly Bean perked back up slightly, the puddle around her legs vanished almost instantaneously. "It just something to do with my mood." Jelly Bean explained. "You see, when I'm happy I become more solid... Bouncy if you will. However when faced against negative emotions, I become.. Runny."

"Uh-huh..." Applejack slowly nodded. "I guess that makes sense."

"So where will you be staying during your visit?" Twilight asked politely. "Not that I have a problem with you staying in the library if the Princess said you could... You will just have to be careful."

"Its alright, the Princess has set me up in the Hay-and-Stay motel for a few weeks." Jelly Bean replied happily. "But thanks for the offer."

"Alright then..." Twilight rolled her eyes. "Do you have any idea why you were sent here?"

"Well, I don't really know why the Princess sent me here. I know why I agreed though, its a vacation from Canterlot. I mean, I love the place to bits. But sometimes the big city can be too much me." Jelly Bean happily explained. "When the Princess offered me a trip to Ponyville, all expenses paid... I couldn't say no."

"It just seems odd. The Princess was very brief in her letter." Twilight smiled awkwardly and sighed. "Sorry if this sounds rube, but I was expecting a bit more..."

"Uh... That's alright I guess..." Jelly Bean chuckled nervously. "Maybe the Princess has sent you another scroll?"

"Oh, right!" Twilight nodded her head happily. "She might of... But Spike is at the library, resting."

"Oh... Is he alright?" Fluttershy spoke up. "I wouldn't him to be ill or anything... Maybe I could take a look? If its not too much trouble."

"Its alright Fluttershy, I think he was just trying to get out of shopping. Now that I think about it, her perked right up when I left him at the library to rest..." Twilight sighed and cursed herself silently. "Never mind, he will be fine until I get back."

"Oh, alright then... Maybe I could just do a quick check-up? I mean, if its not too much..." Fluttershy quietly said.

"If you want really want to, I see no harm in having Spike checked." Twilight replied. "Might teach him a lesson about faking illness."

"Hey..." Jelly Bean spoke up. "Do any of you have any objections to me going to my motel room? I think there is a pony waiting for me with some of my stuff..." Jelly Bean asked happily.

"Yeah sure, don't let us hold you back! Go out and explore the town for a bit. I will try and figure out why the Princess sent you down." Twilight responded kindly.

"Uh... Cool. If you need me... You know where the motel is right?" Jelly Bean nervously inquired. "Just wanna make sure you know where I am..."

"Of course, go enjoy your break from Canterlot. If I make any progression I will let you know."

"Alright then... I'l be going now..." Jelly Bean chuckled nervously and left the shop. "You would have thought seeing something like me was normal for them..."

The Somewhat Devious Mind of Jelly Bean

Jelly Bean sighed as she rummaged through several suitcases that had been messily sprawled onto the floor by herself. "Junk, junk, junk..." Jelly Bean lazily said as she threw several silken sashes onto the floor of the motel room. "Ah! There you are!" The jelly pony happily exclaimed as she removed a cyan blue sash with a dark green saddlebag attached to the side. The saddlebag had Jelly Bean's cutie mark embroidered onto the flap. Before Jelly Bean could even think about putting it on a knock on the door took her attention.

"Hey, Jelly Bean? Are you in?" Jelly Bean heard a familiar voice call out. "I may have been a bit harsh earlier, I just wanted to make sure we are cool." Jelly Bean perked up, she knew who was at the door.

"Rainbow Dash right? Come in, I'm just making the room... Homey!" Jelly Bean chuckled happily as she walked over to the door and opened it. "Welcome to my temporary home!" Jelly Bean happily exclaimed.

"Wow... This place is messy!" Rainbow remarked. "Rarity would go crazy if she saw this." Rainbow Dash chuckled happily. "But what I said at the door I meant it." The mare looked around modestly. "I kinda thought about what I said and I... Realized that what I said might have been a bit harsh..."

"Really?" Jelly Bean curiously said. "I have had worse for less." The Jelly pony sat down and sighed happily. "I don't even notice it anymore."

"Well either way, I feel bad about it. Is there anyway I can make it up to you?" Rainbow Dash asked solemnly.

"Try one of these." Jelly Bean reached into her saddle bag and took out an assortment of colored beans. "There jelly beans! I just started learning how to make them the way my family does."

"Okay then, I've never turned down free sweets." Rainbow Dash happily took a selection of cyan beans and ate them. "Not bad... Not the best, but not bad at all. What flavor were they?"

"No flavor, in fact... None of these have any flavor. I just wanted to see if I had the coloring right." Jelly Bean looked quizzically at Rainbow Dash. "What flavor did you taste?"

"Water." Rainbow Dash flatly replied. "They tasted like water."

"Funny that, everypony I ask says that. They're not supposed to taste like anything, yet somehow its always water." Jelly Bean chuckled happily. "Funny how that works, one of lives greatest mysteries."

"Yeah... It certainly is puzzling." Rainbow Dash faked an interest. "Hey, what I said earlier... Did you want to try pranking some ponies? I have a few ideas for what we can do."

"Yeah sounds fun. I'd do anything to get out of this dull room." Jelly Bean replied happily. "So who's our first target?"

"Rarity." Rainbow Dash said with a malicious grin. "We are going to prank Rarity."

"Alright, I'm game." Jelly Bean replied evilly. "What's the plan?"

"Basically, Rarity designs clothes. Fancy clothes. I want you to 'cover' a few of her designs so that they are purple. Because apparently bright purple is out this season." Rainbow Dash chuckled evilly. "Of course, we will let her in on it before she goes too far. But I want to see the look on her face when her dresses are bright purple!"

"Sounds fun... But what do you mean too far?" Jelly Bean curiously asked. "How badly will she freak out?"

"About the same as usual. It might scare you, but she does it all the time." Rainbow replied innocently. "Alright lets go then, I have the perfect way to get you into her shop."

"Alright then, lead the way." Jelly Bean happily said as she followed Rainbow Dash out of the room.

"No, that's alright Rarity. I just wanted to check to see if the outside was scratched or cracked. I mean the windstorm was pretty fast." Rainbow Dash chuckled. "I surprised it didn't wake you up."

"Yes, I daresay that if it had... I would have been unable to fall asleep. Oh well, thank you for checking up on me!" Rarity smiled sheepishly before turning around to re-enter her shop. "Say, do you fancy taking a look at some of my new work? I am quite proud of them."

"Oh? Sure, I mean. If you insist." Rainbow Dash said nonchalantly.

"Oh I do. Now come in, you're letting the hot out." Rarity ordered as she ushered Rainbow Dash into the clothes shop. "Now Rainbow, while I doubt your sense of fashion is... Attuned as mine, I hope you see the elegance in next year's spring... Collection?" Rarity stood in horror as she examined her line of dresses. A thin layer of purple slime was stuck to the fabric, giving it the impression that it was a sickly purple color with a dark green underneath. "I don't understand... The fabric was non-reactive! How! What!"

"Woah, I like the purple..." Rainbow Dash said trying to fight back a giggle, she moved over and inspected the dresses closely and even touched one of them. "Wow shes good... This feels like a real dress." Rainbow Dash muttered to herself.

"HOW!? WHY!?" Rarity shouted as she examined the fabric closely. "I don't understand..." Rarity sighed to herself and sat down on the floor. "I will have to source my materials and re-buy EVERYTHING!"

"Its not that bad Rarity..." Rainbow Dash tried to reassure Rarity, all the while smirking. "Purple might be in next year..."

"No no... This just won't do! I can't afford to gamble!" Rarity despaired to herself. "I will have to reconfigure my bits for the next year or so..." Rarity levitated a notepad over and began to got down notes with a quill. Unknowing to her, one of her dresses was slowly animating.

"Woah..." Rainbow Dash said dumbstruck. The middle dress was slowly lifting itself of the ponyikin. "Uh Rarity, do your dresses come to life?"

"Well yes... When worn properly they can be the very life of the party..." Rarity slowly turned around, confused by Rainbow's question. "Oh..." The dress heaved itself on the floor and began to slither towards Rainbow Dash.

"No wait..!" Rainbow shouted as the dress caught her hoof. "Please don't!" Rainbow pleaded with the dress as it slowly started to put itself on. Within moments Rainbow Dash was wearing a particular frilly dress.

Suddenly the purple coloring from all the dresses faded and the line of clothes returned to normal. A purple puddle amassed in the center of the room and Jelly Bean emerged from it, laughing. "Ha! That is how you do it. Double prank!" Jelly Bean happily said as she laughed at Rainbow's dress.

"What!? This whole thing was a prank?" Rarity angrily exclaimed.

"Yeah, Rainbow's idea!" Jelly Bean taunted. "But after I saw your lovely line of dress, I just had to see one on Rainbow Dash! So I decided to dress her up." The jelly pony chuckled evilly. "As I said, I'm a jelly pony, pranks come naturally."

"Well I must say... My line isn't ruined and Rainbow Dash does look rather... Frilly." Rarity chuckled happily. "Yes, I would say this has been a good prank."

"Maybe for you!" Rainbow angrily shouted as she attempted to remove the dress without tearing it. "If this is stuck on me..."

"I can take it off you easily..." Jelly Bean sighed. "You just need to know how..." The jelly pony morphed back into a puddle and went back into the dress and gently removed itself and reattached itself back to the ponyikin. "See?" Jelly Bean's voice echoed from the dress.

"Oh, alright." Rainbow Dash said flatly. "I'm going to get you back Jelly." Rainbow warned. "One of these days!" Rainbow turned and promptly left the shop. Jelly Bean reappeared as a puddle and reformed completely.

"Did I do something wrong?" Jelly Bean sighed as she started to go runny.

"No darling, Rainbow was just a bad sport... And never one for dresses... But trust me, in five minutes time she will be laughing about this." Rarity reassure happily. "I personally think you did quite well darling..." Jelly Bean looked up and became more solid. "I mean, you pranked us both fairly with nothing that would do any permanent damage."

"Yeah... And she was laughing until I put her in the dress!" Jelly Bean said happily. "Thanks, that's brightened my mood. I was worried that she might hate me..."

"No she would never hate you... Rainbow Dash would never hate anypony." Rarity replied happily. "Now then, I take you keep with fashion in Canterlot? Nearly everypony does there."

"A little, every now and then I check what is 'in'. Its hard being made out of goo." Jelly Bean replied. "If I'm not careful the outfit sinks into me, or it absorbs me. The only material I can wear thin silk that sits on me." Jelly Bean explained.

"Oh, that sounds dreadful!" Rarity exclaimed. "How do you keep up with the fashion?"

"I don't... Being honest, Canterlot can be a bit too much for me. A lot of ponies avoid me and I feel alienated." Jelly Bean sighed. "Ponyville is a break from that, or so the Princess told me."

Rarity sighed to herself. "That must be terrible... I dare to think what my life would be without friends to gossip with... Friends to make dresses for..." Rarity gazed off into the distance.

"I have friends." Jelly Bean replied flatly. "I'm not that much of an alien... And my family care for me the best they can!" Jelly Bean happily bounced up and down. "And from what I have heard and seen, you're a friend!"

"Yes... We are friends. I could never turn anypony away, its not me..." Rarity happily replied. "I will admit I was bit uncertain at first... But you're good to be around, your make the mood lighter and you are able to turn the tables on a prank. You are also one of the few ponies to ever get Rainbow Dash into a springtime dress."

"Yes... I can imagine that getting her into a dress like that is no easy feat." Jelly Bean proudly replied. "And I will admit, I did not know what to think when Rainbow told me how you might react when I pranked you... It was dramatic to say the least..." Jelly Bean smiled slyly. "You lived up to expectations..."

"Oh?" Rarity sounded surprised. "Rainbow knew how I would react?"

"Yes, loudly and unnecessarily." Jelly Bean replied.

"What? She was aware that I thought my spring line was ruined!? Not just that, but I would have missed several deadlines and lost thousands of bits in materials!" Rarity exclaimed loudly. "Not just that, but it is also a whole month worth of work and my reputation would have been ruined! Wasted for a quick laugh!" Rarity huffed angrily. "Well, I will be having words with her later!"

"Don't worry Rarity." Jelly Bean calmly reassured. "I was never going to damage your dresses, they're beautiful." Jelly Bean thoughtfully said. "I think they will do well come spring."

"Oh..." Rarity blushed briefly. "Thank you. I never really planned on showing anypony. But when Rainbow dropped by, I could hardly hide my excitement."

"Yes... I noticed. That's when I decided to get Rainbow back, so that you had something to laugh about." Jelly Bean happily explained. "It wasn't in Rainbow's plans but... I couldn't just prank you that badly and leave the pony responsible un-pranked."

"Yes, that was quite thoughtful of you. Pranking Rainbow and not damaging my dresses." Rarity warmly replied. "Perhaps I could make you a custom dress? One that won't sink into you or absorb you?"

"Its alright, the silk that is used is very fine quality. Buying it for my saddlebag cost me just shy of a thousand bits." Jelly Bean smiled happily. "But thank you for your offer Rarity. Now, I think I will head back to my motel room and finish unpacking."

"Very well... And Jelly Bean, welcome to Ponyville." Rarity said as Jelly Bean left the store.

Motel Room Sweet Motel Room

"Ahhh, sweet messed up motel room." Jelly Bean remarked happily as she opened the door to her room. The jelly pony waded her way through the sashes she had throw onto the ground until she found her saddlebag. "I should clean this mess up, least I lose something that matters to me..." Jelly Bean chuckled to herself and jumped onto her bed with her saddlebag.

"Ahem..." Jelly Bean quickly perked up, a rather angry looking stallion was stood in the doorway. "I understand that you have connections. But as the manager of this motel, I have to ask that you keep your door locked and room tidy. The last thing I want is to have to make the cleaners work over-time because some fancy pony from Canterlot thinks she's the Princess." The stallion angrily commanded before eyeing up Jelly Bean, who was looking rather confused.

"Oh I..." Jelly Bean stumbled off the bed and splashed on the ground. "Sorry, I thought I locked the door."

"Its all well and good thinking you locked the door. But if you don't, I will not be held responsible for theft of belongings." The stallion sighed as Jelly Bean quickly rose up to her normal shape. "I understand the... Circumstances that may make it hard... But I only ask that you try." The stallion shook his head and left the doorway, angrily closing the door behind him.

"Geez what a grouch." Jelly Bean quickly spun around, she saw Rainbow Dash gently flying outside her open window. "I knew the owner of this place was harsh, but that was jut cruel."

"Hm?" Jelly Bean curiously responded as she moved to her window and opened it so that Rainbow Dash could come in. "Why makes you say that?"

"The fact that I know you locked the door. I quickly flew back here and tried to rig your door." Rainbow Dash explained as she flew in. "If you ask me, he might have something against you..."

"Why would he have something against me?" Jelly Bean slumped down, partially forming a puddle below her. "I haven't seen him before... Except when I checked in."

"I can't really tell you why... I have a feeling I know... And you won't like it." Rainbow Dash sighed as she flew over the gooey puddle that was once Jelly Bean. "Come on Jelly, you can pick yourself up. If he comes back again give me a call and I will tell him whats what."

"Heh..." Jelly Bean slowly started to reform. "I know its silly, but I got the feeling he didn't like me because I am from out of town. Right?"

"Pretty much, I don't understand why he runs a motel if he doesn't like tourists." Rainbow Dash sighed and landed on the motel bed. "I can try and keep an eye out for a place for you to stay as well."

"That's alright, I think I can handle him." Jelly Bean chuckled happily as she jumped onto the bed. "So, any other reason why you decided to drop by?"

"Well I was hoping you weren't in so I could set a trap for you..." Rainbow Dash chuckled and rubbed the back of her neck. "But seeing as you're in..."

"Can't say I blame you, I got both you and Rarity pretty good." Jelly Bean wrapped a gooey limb around Rainbow Dash. "Nothing personal, just a bit of fun..."

"Yeah... You got both of us pretty good. But the dress prank was my idea!" Rainbow Dash replied excitedly. "I wouldn't mind pranking with you again, but I don't want to be double crossed again."

"Well I might be able to do that... If you can make it worth my while." Jelly Bean deviously said.

Rainbow Dash raised and eyebrow. "What exactly do you mean, 'worth your while'?"

"Well, I haven't though of anything yet. But if something comes to mind, I will let you know. Until then, you are off my prank list." Jelly Bean chuckled deviously, winking to Rainbow Dash.

"Uh yeah..." Rainbow Dash wiggled free from Jelly's limb. "That's cool, just let me know if you want anything."

"Trust me, I will." Jelly Bean said as she got off the bed. "Now, I should really clean up in here... Least the manager shows up again."

"Alright then, I will leave you to it. Unless you want to cash in that favor now." Rainbow Dash said evilly, hoping for Jelly Bean to cash in the favor prematurely.

"No, it alright. I made this mess myself." Jelly Bean said as she started to pick up the mess on the floor. "So, do you have any plans later?"

"Well I was planning on hanging out with Twilight and the girls..." Rainbow Dash nonchalantly said. "Nothing big, just our usual get together."

"Sounds like fun. I think I might get to know the layout of Ponyville myself, learn where all the good shops are." Jelly Bean happily said as she continued to pick up her mess. "And tomorrow?"

"Well, aside from clearing the skies in the morning... I don't really have anything planned. Unlike Twilight, I don't tend to plan ahead unless its important." Rainbow Dash chuckled to herself.

"Huh, and here I thought it would be all fun and games. For a village that seems to have everything happen to it, you sure live some dull lives." Jelly Bean teased.

"Hey, my life is not dull! You should see me when I do my aerial routine, that is anything but dull..!" Rainbow Dash hastily replied with a passion. "And ask Pinkie to throw you a 'welcome to Ponyville party!' I doubt you will think that is Dull!"

"Woah!" Jelly Bean giggled gleefully. "Settle down, I was just teasing."

"Well, I'm just saying." Rainbow Dash settled down. "Ponyville is anything but dull. And being honest, the town has reacted very calmly to your arrival."

"I know right!? Its so strange, ponies used to visit me in Canterlot all the time to see the 'natural goo pony.' I still think my parents should of charged two bits for a look though!" Jelly Bean happily replied as she finished tidying the motel room. "So, do you think the manager will be satisfied with this?"

"He should be. If not, you need to find a new motel to stay at." Rainbow Dash laughed merrily before coming to an abrupt stop. "But seriously, it might be worth looking for a new place to stay while you visit."

"I think I will be alright for now." Jelly bean sighed happily and hopped back onto the bed, making a loud sloshing sound as she did. "I have been though worse in Canterlot."

"Huh, really?" Rainbow Dash inquired curiously.

"Yeah, but I learnt to ignore it pretty quickly." Jelly Bean giggled happily. "It's amazing the thought someponies put into insulting you when you are made out of goo."

"I can imagine, back in flight school I was called Rainbow Crash. Sure they laughed then but look at me now!" Rainbow Dash triumphantly said. "You know, we have a lot it common. What's your opinion on the Wonderbolts?"

"Eh..." Jelly Bean shrugged. "I guess they're pretty cool."

"You guess..?" Rainbow Dash slowly repeated. "You guess they're pretty cool?" Rainbow Dash twitched briefly before letting out a hearty laugh. "Your kidding right? They're the best aerial performers in Equestria!"

"Yeah I know that. I used to love them as a foal! I had a huge poster of Spitfire in my room. I grew out of it after while though, it is hard to see aerial acrobatics as a 'cool' thing when you are stuck on the ground." Jelly Bean explained happily.

"I suppose... I mean... Well you have a point." Rainbow Dash stammered. "Maybe you should see one of their races? I heard they are pretty cool."

"My parents have offered me a chance to see them before, I just never took it. Why pay to go see ponies fly around in circles all day?" Jelly Bean remarked.

"What..? How can you say that! They don't just fly around in circles! Its a race!" Rainbow Dash passionately argued. "Have you seen how fast they fly and for how long? Can you imagine how much training you would have to do in order to become that good?"

"No I don't, mainly because I don't have wings, nor can I give myself them before you ask." Jelly Bean flatly replied. "What you are asking is the equivalent of a unicorn asking me to levitate an object, or me asking you to melt down into a puddle."

"I see..." Rainbow Dash slowly replied. "I mean, I'm not asking you to fly or anything, just think about it." The rainbow mare calmly replied as she thought about what Jelly Bean had said.

"No point dwelling on it Rainbow." Jelly Bean happily replied. "I mean it's not like my mind is set, I might take an interest again."

"Well I ain't gonna force you. Although it might be worth looking into, you might like it." Rainbow Dash happily said. "Uhhhh, you know what. I might take a rain check on meeting with the girls this evening."

"Oh? Why's that?" Jelly Bean curiously asked.

"Well, I know this bar. It's a little out of the way, but the owner is really nice and friendly. I think you would like it." Rainbow Dash explained.

"Hm..." Jelly Bean rubbed her chin and studied Rainbow Dash. "What's your angle?"

"No angle, I just want to spend a bit of time with a new friend." Rainbow Dash replied.

"No really, what are you looking for?" Jelly Bean accused.

"Nothing, as I said." Rainbow Dash flatly said. "Look if you want to stay in this dull room for the rest of the day, be my guest. I am offering you a fun alternative."

"Alright fine. But no funny business or else you are back on the prank list." Jelly Bean warned evilly. "And I mean it."

"Look, we can go and have fun or we can go and sit around for hours on end. What would you rather?" Rainbow Dash flatly asked. "Because from you are saying, we are heading towards option two."

"Look, forgive me for being cautious. But I have only just met you today and you are already trying to take me somewhere." Jelly Bean replied calmly. "I get the feeling that you might be after something more then a fun night out..."

"And what exactly do you mean by that?" Rainbow inquired loudly. "I thought I was being nice by dropping what I had planned."

"Yes..." Jelly Bean sighed. "I suppose you are, and I should be grateful." Jelly bean dropped her gaze down.

"Hey, don't worry about it. I know some ponies struggle with a change in environment and moving from Canterlot to Ponyville is the biggest change I've seen yet." Rainbow Dash warmly said, trying to stop Jelly's mood going sour.

"Yeah... But its only for a few weeks." Jelly Bean trailed. "Alright then. I will hang out with you. But if anything happens that I do not like I will leave. Understood?"

"Yes ma'am." Rainbow Dash sarcastically said. "Now can we please get going? I need to let Twilight know I won't be there this evening."

You had one job. One job.

"Rainbow Dash, I asked you to do one thing. One measly tiny thing!" Twilight huffed angrily as she struggled to keep her voice down. "I asked you to keep an eye on her and this is how it turned out!?"

"L-Look, I had no idea it was going to end up this way. Honestly I thought we were having fun! I didn't know how quickly it would elevate!" Rainbow Dash defended herself as she tried to reason with Twilight. "Look, the only reason I came down is because I need your help. I have no idea what to do with her in her current state. I am worried she might do something reckless."

"Yes... I understand that." Twilight sighed and calmed down. "But at two in the morning?"

"I know Twilight. I didn't want to be flying around at two in the morning myself, but here I am." Rainbow Dash chuckled weakly, the effects of staying up and flying around at high speeds were starting to take their toll on her body. "Look, if you could just come see her. We might be able to figure something out."

"Alright, but don't expect this to become a regular thing. I will not bend over backwards at two every morning because you have made a mess." Twilight scolded harshly, Rainbow Dash responded by solemnly nodding.

It had been a long night for Twilight, she had spent the better part of the day thinking of ways to keep Jelly Bean from getting into trouble, but what Rainbow Dash had done was just plain reckless. The pair of them had spent the better part of the morning searching for Jelly Bean.

"I think I can see her over there." Twilight stated as she patrolled around the center of Ponyville with Rainbow Dash. "I wonder what she is up to?" Twilight sighed to herself. "Well we better go see whats up then."

"Yeah... I feel bad for leaving her alone in that state, but I needed help..." Rainbow chuckled.

"Really? You needed help? The great Rainbow Dash, Equestria's fastest flyer needed help?" Twilight chuckled gleefully. "You must really have messed up." Twilight sighed to herself, she could see Jelly Bean in the distance.

"You think she will be alright?" Rainbow inquired curiously as the pair slowly approached Jelly Bean. "You think she will still want to be friends?"

"I don't see why not, I think she will understand why you left her. I mean, by the sounds of it you needed help." Twilight hurried slightly leaving Rainbow Dash a few meters behind her.

"Ohh Helloooooooooooooo Twi-Twiligh-Twilight!" A slightly inebriated Jelly Bean sung out as she laid eyes of Twilight. "It-Its beeeen like... A feeeeeew hours since..." The drunk Goo pony stumbled around slightly and tripped over herself and landed with a loud splat, the goo settled in a puddle and then Jelly Bean's head started to reform, laughing madly.

Twilight sighed to herself as Rainbow Dash caught up to her. "Just how much did you let her drink!?"

"Well it wasn't that much really. It was just some of the..." Rainbow Dash mumbled to herself and averted her gaze from Twilight.

"Just some of the..?" Twilight inquired curiously. "What exactly did she drink!?"

"Well... It wasn't enough to get me drunk." Rainbow Dash chuckled nervously. "I honestly had no idea she was a such a lightweight."

"Weeeeeeeeell soooooooorrrrrrrrreeeeeey!" Jelly Bean interrupted loudly. "Its nooot my fault I drank theeeeeee dizzzzzzzzy juice!" The goo pony made a sloppy attempt to regain her pony form but ended up stumbling over and reverting to a thick puddle around the two ponies. Much to Jelly Bean's surprise she was hoisted up off the ground and molded into a large ball.

"Right, lets find someplace for her to stay then?" Twilight calmly said as she held the giant ball of goo up with her magic. "What motel is she staying at?"

Rainbow Dash shook her head and scoffed. "If we took Jelly back to that place she would get kicked out before arriving." Rainbow Dash paced back and forth quickly. "Do you have any ideas?"

"Yes. In fact I do." Twilight flatly stated, her horn became brighter and the floating ball vibrated slightly.

"Hehehehehehehe! That tickles!" The floating ball of goo chuckled gleefully, despite not having a mouth.

"What did you do Twilight?" Rainbow Dash curiously asked, gently prodding the goo ball to see if any changes had taken place. Much to Rainbow's surprise, when she looked back at Twilight the lavender mare was smiling evilly at her.

"I think you will find that friend here can stand on clouds. Since you got her into this mess you can take care of her and explain what happened to her in the morning." Twilight stated smugly. "I can go get the tub she was brought in or you can carry her back. Its your choice."

"Awwwwwwww..! Dooooon't put me in the tuuuuub! I'l be goooooooooood! I promise!" Jelly Bean sang out loudly in protest to the suggestion Twilight had made.

"I can't let her stay in my cloud!" Rainbow replied rather loudly. "What if she falls out during the night?"

"It pains me to say this Rainbow, but you got her into this mess. You need to help her out of it." Twilight stated with a serious tone.

Rainbow Dash sighed and looked at Jelly Bean, who was still a floating ball goo and sighed. "You're right Twilight..." Rainbow's gaze dropped to the ground. "It was supposed to keep her happy for the evening and help her settle in. I let things get out of control and tried to drag you in so that you could help me fix my mess." Rainbow Dash looked up at the floating ball of goo with a expression of sheer determination. "Now I need to be a good friend and fix this mess!"

"Yeaaaah!" Jelly Bean cheered out as she stuck one of her forearms out and waved it around. Much to Twilight's surprise the ball of goo slowly started to resist her magical grip and began dripping on the ground.

"That should not be happening..." Twilight moved away from the slowly forming puddle of goo. "She seems to be developing an immunity to my magic somehow..." Twilight's horn dimmed down and the remaining goo fell to the ground with a loud splat and then quickly formed into Jelly Bean's normal form. "How strange..."

"Itssssss noooothing reeeaaaallllyyyy!" Jelly Bean loudly sang out as she staggered around briefly, only stopping when she fell against a nearby bench. "They alllllllways said I was straaaaange!"

"Right if you keep her here, I will go get the tub." Twilight eagerly said. "Oh, and I will need a word with her tomorrow."

"Nooooooot the tuuuuuuub!" Jelly Bean slurred as she tried to run away, but only made it a few steps before giving up. "fiiiiiiine, puuuut me in the tuuuuub."

Rainbow Dash landed just outside of her cloud house, Jelly Bean was inside the tub she arrived in an two pieces of rope kept her fastened to her carrier. Despite being tied down, the tub of Jelly was shaking rather violently. Rainbow Dash settled down on the cloud and entered her rather large cloud house.

"Raiiiiiiinboooooooowwww! Leeeeeeet me out!" The tub of Jelly groggily shouted. "Plllleeeaaaassssseeeee..?"

Rainbow Dash sighed to herself as she loosened the ropes that were keeping the tub secure, once the ropes were loose she gently shook them off and the tub fell down and landed gently. "Will you behave?" Rainbow Dash questioned with a harsh tone.

"Yes..." The tub of Jelly squeaked as the lid slowly creaked open. "I just want to go tooooo sleep."

"Alright then, make yourself comfortable on the sofa." Rainbow Dash said happily as she turned to face the entrance of her room. "And get ready for a long morning..."

The tub of Jelly's lid slowly rose up and quietly slid onto the floor of the cloud house. Jelly slowly started to emerge out of tub, slowly testing the cloud to make sure Twilight's spell had worked. Once Jelly Bean was happy the spell had worked she slowly emerged and took form. The cloud house was bright despite it being the early hours of the morning and Jelly Bean was easily able to find the main room and then the sofa. With a tired sigh the goo pony collapsed into a sticky pile of goo on the sofa and began snoring loudly.

"Uhhhhh my head..."

"C'mon Jelly, you can't sleep all day."

"Wait... Where am I?"

"You're at my house, on my sofa."

"My head is hurting..."

"Funny, seeing as you don't have a head."

"Urgh..."

"C'mon and get up. I promised Twilight I would take you to see her."

Jelly Bean slowly reformed into her pony shape, she was lying down on something that felt softer then silk. The goo pony slowly opened her eyes and examined the room where she had been sleeping. It was a cloud house, and a rather messy cloud house at that. "How did I get here..." Jelly Bean groggily asked.

"Well you were out of it last night, I didn't feel right sending you back to that motel. So Twilight suggested that you stayed at mine for the night." Rainbow Dash explained cheerfully.

"Oh... So that stuff that you made me drink..." Jelly Bean cringed slightly. "That stuff made me forget what happened."

"You seemed a lot happily at the time, you're a pretty fun drunk." Rainbow Dash chuckled gleefully to herself as she sat down next to Jelly Bean. "Can you remember what happened?"

"No..." Jelly Bean replied painfully. "After I started drinking that stuff..." The goo pony shuddered at the though of the alcoholic drink. "What was that stuff?"

"Nothing too strong." Rainbow Dash replied. "Not too keen on your drinks then?"

"That stuff was nice, but I can feel it eating me from the inside." Jelly Bean gently rubbed her tummy. "I mean, I can literately feel it dissolving me from the inside."

"Uh..." Rainbow Dash's expression dropped. "Do you some help getting it out?"

"I should be able to filter it out over the course of the day. If you have any food that will certainly help." Jelly Bean replied calmly.

"I have some fruit in the other room. Will that do?" Rainbow Dash responded.

"Yeah, that will do just fine." Jelly Bean happily nodded. Rainbow Dash got up and walked into a room parallel to the main room, she returned moments later with a small bowl of assorted fruit.

"So why will eating help?" Rainbow Dash curiously asked as she placed the bowl of fruit down near Jelly Bean.

"Well..." Jelly Bean picked up an apple and expected it, she then opened her mouth and swallowed the apple in one bite. The apple slowly drifted down into the stomach region and then began to slowly dissolve. "It gives the substance something to eat at besides me."

""Woah..." Rainbow Dash remarked as she watched the apple slowly vanish. "Its strange watching it happen from outside."

"Its not too different to how you digest food." Jelly Bean happily said. "The key difference is that I don't have a digestive track. The apple will be broken down into base nutrients and then will be distributed around my body, but keep in mind that this happens when you eat as well. Its just more... Messy."

"Alright then..." Rainbow Dash chuckled. "Whatever works for you then. Mind if we go see Twilight when your done distributing apple around your body?" Jelly Bean nodded in response as she continued to eat fruit.
