//-------------------------------------------------------// A Mixed Up Day -by Emerald Gem- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1:Gone! //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1:Gone! It was a beautiful day in Ponyville.The birds were singing,the flowers were blooming,and the market was bustling with ponies.And some ponies were just waking up for the first time that morning.Some ponies in particular named Emerald Gem,Horseshoe,and Swirly Sane were about to have the weirdest experience of their lives. Emerald Gem walked over to the windowsill and pushed it open,letting in the cool breeze. Emerald Gem was a unicorn mare with a purple coat and white hair with different shades of blue steamed across.Her parents were Rarity and Fancypants,and her cutie mark was three crystal gems.She also took in a deep breath of the fragrance of some tulips that were growing outside her window.When she turned back to her room,she noticed that her bed was inspired. Being the daughter of Rarity,she intended to make everything perfect.As she headed over to the bed,she got a glance of herself in the mirror.Her mane was so messy that she couldn't even see her horn. "Oops! It looks like I forgot to brush my mane. When she dot to her vanity,she aimed at her brush,but it wouldn't levitate.After trying a few more times,she gave up and started to brush her mane with her hooves.When she got to her bangs,she couldn't feel her horn.After a moment of blank thinking,she screamed. ********************************************************************************** The smell of Apple fritters filled the Apple family household.It also filled a room that belonged to a pony named Horseshoe.Horseshoe was a orange mare with a brown and red mane braided into a big braid with a big pink bow on the top (like Apple bloom).Her parents were trenderhoof and Applejack,and her cutie mark was two Horseshoes.As soon as the smell reached Her room,she hopped out of bed and trotted down the stairs. "Morning y'all" she said. "Morning" Applejack said,still focusing on her cooking. "Morning,sweetie" Trend said,reading the daily paper. As horseshoe got to the bottom of the stairs,she got thirsty,so she headed over to the refrigerator and got a fresh cup of quality Apple family cider.As she sat at the table and started drinking,her brother,Copper,came down the stairs.Copper was an orange colt with brown hair and a cowboy hat (just like his mother,Applejack). His cutie mark was a golden Apple. "Good Morn-SIS??!!ARE YOU LEVITATEING THAT CUP??!!" Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to Horseshoe.Sure enough,she was levitating the cup. ********************************************************************************* As she walked down the hall,Swirly Sane was humming a song her mom,Fluttershy,had taught to her.She said that it would calm down animals if they were out of control.Swirly Sane was a marroon colored pegasus.She had a black mane with one strand of pink going through it.She had vortex eyes,one green,one red.Her parents were Fluttershy and Discord,so that explains why she has vortex eyes.When Swirly reached the stair case, she was about to fly down when she landed flat on her face.What she hit the stair,it made MOO sound (like a cow). She bounced off and hit the next one,and it made a HONK sound.Each stair made a sound until she hit the ground,which made a THUMP!!! Fluttershy came running into the room. Swirly groaned under her breath."Can dad remove the concrete stairs and put bouncy ones  instead?" "Sweetie,are yo-"Fluttershy gasped at her daughter. "What?!What?!" Swirly said,panicking. "Your...wings.." "My wings what??!! MY WINGS WHAT??!!!" "There gone!!" Fluttershy said,finally getting to the point. Swirly stood there as still as a tree.Then,one person popped into her mind. "DAD!!!!"
