Chapter 1

"So brother of mine how have the sales this month been." Flim asked while taking a sip of cider

"They are at an a time high Flim who knew those idiots could believe that tonic could work so called miracle's, those idiot's." Flam said with a chuckle

Flim and Flam continued to count the bits they got and continued the conversation they had. Their conversation was interrupted when Flim heard a knock on the door.

"I'll get that." Flam said

Flam began to trot to the door and once he opened the door he saw a colt unicorn with a brown coat, wavy and messy hair, a peace sign for a cutie mark, and a tye die shirt on.

"Hello sir how my I help you?" Flam asked

The pony spoke with a layed back tone "Sorry for bargaining in man but maybe you want to come to a kick back and enjoy the herbal goodies of the all powerful pennyroyal tea. Here have a sample and if you want to join the kickback speak to me at the park with my buds in our drum circle."  The pony handed him a paper cup with hot tea and left.

Flam gave the tea a try and thought 'I guess it's fine and what was all of that mumbo jumbo about herbal goodies.'

Flam finished the tea and threw the cup away. He then approached his brother and counted his bits again.

"What was that Flam?" Flim asked

Flam answered Flim by saying "It was just some broke hippie trying to sell some stuff called pennyroyal tea. He says it's supposed to give herbal benefits but I think it's just some hoopla."

"Wait Pennyroyal tea you say?" Flim said and in return Flam noded

"I've heard of that stuff people say it really works I've tried it and it has done nothing, It's very popular." Flim said

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS DEAR BOTHER." Flam shouted

And they both gulped and said "competition."

"Thank you for taking the sample sister and I hope you come kick back with us and get experienced." The colt with the brown coat said as he left

Applejack said "Your welcome and come back anytime."

Applejack then took a sip of the tea and downed it in a few minutes. She then said "Ah feel normal, No funny stuff happening in mah body, Huh maybe the effects need time to kick in."

Applejack went back to bucking apples for a couple hours and stopped for a moment and said "Ah still feel the same, Huh gues that pony was lyin bout that herbal mumbo jumbo. well no reason to stop them they ain't hurtin any pony."

The next day came and Flim and Flam rushed to the park and got hat they wanted a circle of hippie ponies all using drums laying in a drum circle. Flim and Flam gave a disgusted look. Flam then said "Alright, alright you hippies  who made this dumb tea stuff."

They all stopped and a colt Pegasus with a white coat and brown mane and a tye die peace sign for a cutie mark approached the pair and said "Well it was me, Is the tea messing up your vibes."

The two shouted "WELL YES IT'S MESSING UP OUR CASH VIBES, YOU BETTER SHUT DOWN YOUR TEA RIGHT NOW"

The colt gave a frightened look and said "Sorry man we are just trying to produce a tea with herbal benefits, you know all natural and all that jazz."

"WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT WE WOULD POLLUTE THIS AND SELL IT IF IT MEANT MORE MONEY, NOW SHUT YOUR TEA DOWN NOW." Flam shouted

The hippie colt gave an anger look and said "Just go away you capitalist pigs." The colt and the rest of the ponies in the drum circle left.

"You think we proved our point brother."Flim said

In response Flam shook his head and the two pairs walked off, In the distance was applejack who said to her self "Wow who new them were that greedy." she then walked off.

Flim and Flam spent the next day trying to think that would prove their point.

"I've got it brother of mine we will make someone buy the tea and then the pony drinks it and spits it in that idiotic hippie face and says herbal abortive it doesn't work, you hippie." Flam said with a grin

"You're a genius brother." Flim said

"Now how about you dress as the pony you will be in disguise  and once again prove our point." Flam said

Flim said "Why me." In response flam pointed at his mustache

Flim sighed and noded.

Apple jack was walking in the park minding her own business when she sat down. When she sat she saw an odd pony with an affro,  a brown coat, and black shirt on with black glasses. She also saw a pony off in the distance squatting all she could say is the mane was red and white. The pony in with the brown coat bought some of the tea and drank about half the cup before spiting it in the hippie's face. The pony then said "Herbal abortive it doesn't work you hippie." The colt then walked to the pony in the bush.

"Nice work brother of mine ." Flam said

"As always, we are the flim flam brothers and we always get the job done." Flim said as he took off the disguise .

Flam then used his magic to turn flim's coat and mane back to normal. Once Flam did that he heard a pony scream "FLIM AND FLAM COME OVER HERE RIGHT NOW."

The brothers bolted to there home and did not look back they knew they were being chased.

Applejack chased the brothes, She was furious. She knew they were trying to ruin the hippies business and she was determined to get them.  She was stopped when they ran into their home and locked the door, she stomped her hooves on the ground and went  back to the park.
