Chapter 2:Pranks and powers
Previous ChapterNext ChapterPrism had been woken up by something shaking her. She looked up and saw her slightly older sister, Cumulus.
"What's wrong Cue?" Prism got up and yawned.
"I heard something coming from the living room," Cumulus replied rather slowly.
"Honestly, why are you still scared of this? It's probably just an open window, come on let's check it out and prove that its nothing." Prism grabbed her sister and went down the stairs. Seeing nothing at first, Prism was about to brag, then something scurried passed her tiny figure. Prism froze, alerting Cumulus.
"Sis, what's wrong," her answer came as something grabbed Prism.
"AHHHHHHHHH!!! MAMAAAAAA!!!." Rushing down the stairs Rainbow saw something grabbing Prism and was about to fight when she noticed them snickering quietly. Rolling her eyes she flipped a light switch. Thunder and Lightning were pulling Prism's hind legs. She saw Prism's tear streaked face and smacked both Lightning and Thunder.
"Do you two realize what could've happened to you had I not saw you two snickering, one things for sure, YOU COULD BE IN THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW!!!" Midnight came down and saw the scene. Rainbow glared at him,
"Well it took you long enough to get down here," Rainbow yelled.
"Let's just go to bed and not worry about punishments 'till morning,"he yawned. As the twins and Cumulus followed the orders, Rainbow was still holding a terrified Prism in her arms. Still shaking, Prism walked upstairs. When Prism was tucked back in for the night she tried to sleep but she couldn't. Seeing that she was getting nowhere with trying to sleep she decided to figure out a prank for revenge. She didn't know if Cumulus was in on it so she decided just to prank the twins.
After a few hours of planning Prism was satisfied with the prank. Looking over at her clock she saw that it was 2:04 in the morning. Deciding to set up the prank that night she gathered all the materials and set to work in front of the twins door. Prism was glad to see that the prank was finished. She went back to her room to see the sunrise through her window. Prism brushed her long hair and stuck a blue bow in it. Brushing her teeth she wondered if using string instead of rope was a good idea. When she finished she found the whistle that she got for her fourth birthday and ran out of her bedroom. As she opened her parents room she blew the whistle as loud as she could. Rainbow woke up and fell out of the bed, Midnight on the other hoof just sat up. Prism chuckled and didn't notice her mother's glare.
"You're gonna pay for that!" Prism ran out the door on instinct and ran into one of the guest rooms,which was conveniently located in front of the twins bedroom. She heard them arguing about who was going to use the bathroom. Of course Lightning won. When she heard hoofsteps closing in on the door she made it so that the door was opened only a crack. The twins stepped out and slipped on a few marbles causing them to crash into a target. The target triggered a few baseball bats that barely missed the twins heads. When they thought they were safe and stood up, a bucket of glue poured on their heads and shortly afterwards a bucket of pink glitter was dumped on their heads. Unfortunately the glue was quick to dry and they were already late for work.
"Bye mom, bye dad! Me and Lightning are going to work!"
"Okay have a good day sweeties!" They sighed and walked out the door. What they didn't notice while they were being pranked, was that they were being filmed. Prism chuckled and went to help Cumulus find her stuff. Rainbow and Midnight walked downstairs to see both their daughters eating cereal. They looked up and hugged their parents.
"Prism, you still know that I'm going to get you back for scaring me, right?" At that Prism shoved her mom and hopped on her dad's back yelling at him to move. Midnight rolled his eyes and flew down to the schoolhouse, Rainbow following slowly after with Cumulus on her back. Surprisingly they were the first to arrive. Cumulus and Prism waved goodbye to their parents and approached Miss Cheerilee. Before they went inside Prism showed Miss Cheerilee the film that she recorded of the prank. She chuckled and told them to go inside. Prism grinned as she dragged Cumulus to their seats. Prism and Cumulus sat down. Cumulus lifted her ear as she heard the familiar sound of cutting. She looked over at Prism and asked,
"Whatcha doin." Prism sighed as she told her that she was making Rainbow Dash a present for her birthday. Cumulus gasped,
"I completely forgot!" She set to work on a messy looking, paper cut-out. Compared to the present that she was making, Cumulus's present looked bad. The bell rang and a cluster of foals came piling in. Quickly Prism and Cumulus hid their presents in their saddlebags. Once again, Prism was dumped with a bucket of paint but this time it was purple. Prepared she pulled a string and Winter Wind had a bucket of glue poured on him and shortly after a bucket of heart-shaped pink glitter. Prism pulled the string off of her hoof and threw it quietly to the front of the room. Miss Cheerilee saw a string connected to Winter's hoof and said,
"Winter Wind did you do this to Prism?" He gulped and slowly nodded.
"Which one of you pulled the prank on Winter then?" she followed the other string to Grapefruit's desk,"Grapefruit did you do this?" Grapefruit quickly shook her head. Cherilee sighed and told her to stay after school.
"Hahahaha!" Thunderlane was laughing his head off when he saw the twins. Screwball joined in shortly after. Lightning continued to place the rainclouds throughout Ponyville. Thunder was one laugh away from pounding them when his parents came. Rainbow just stay their in the air mouth agape in shock and Midnight brushed it off and snapped her out of it. Rainbow laughed along with Screwball and Thunderlane.
"I'm going to kill Prism!" That caught the attention of many ponies in the area,especially Rainbow Dash.
"She did this! Wow she is good." Screwball curiously made a window to the past and watched it along with Rainbow, Midnight, the twins and Thunderlane. When the film finished Rainbow said,
"The poor thing got no sleep BECAUSE YOU TWO SCARED HER TOO MUCH AND TO THE POINT TO WHERE THE ONLY THING SHE COULD DO WAS SIT ON HER BED AWAKE IN FEAR OF SOMETHING HAPPENING!!! I'm kinda proud that she didn't go as far as I would've and you two deserve to be humiliated in public!" and just like that Rainbow flew to the other side of town in a blur. Midnight was kind of upset as well but didn't start to yell like his wife.
Prism and Cumulus once again were last to the recess field.
"Hey half-ling, bat come over here!" Winter Wind yelled, catching the attention of many students,"you two are descendants of a changeling, so why don't you go ahead and change form huh?"
"Leave my sister out of this! Anything you would do to her you will instead do to me!" Prism yelled.
"Okay,b-I mean Cumulus! Get out of this!" Prism couldn't believe it, they actually listened to her.
"Okay so answer my question you dumb half-ling! Why don't you change form and suck the love and power out of us! Go ahead! We're waiting!" Prism was about to say that she couldn't when she accidentally changed into his mother. She looked around and saw everyone's mouth agape,except for Winter's his was in a smirk.
"Oh hi mother, I thought that you were dead. Ahh you're a zombie. Ahhahahaha." He lay on the ground in laughter. Prism changed back when the bell rang.
The last bell of the day rang signaling the students to leave. Miss Cheerilee kept Grapefruit inside with her and asked her mother to stay as well.
"Hey half-ling! I dare you to change into my mother again!" Winter Wind said this while Rainbow Aand Midnight were standing their causing them to be wide eyed. Cumulus went straight to Rainbow and Prism did as she was dared. Rainbow fainted while Midnight ran over to Prism.
"How did you do that,"he asked
"Um duh because she's a half-ling! Hahahahahaha!" Winter Wind trotted off with his father. Midnight started crying and hugged his daughter, it was just then when he noticed his wife had fainted and that Prism was covered in purple paint. He shook his wife. Rainbow shot up questioning what had just happened. They flew home in shock (well mostly) and we're now considering testing all the children when they got home. Landing on the clouds they opened the door seeing a now clean Lightning and Thunder sitting at the table.
"Okay Lightning stand up and imagine that you're changing into your mother," Lightning did as told and nothing happened,"Thunder do the same just try turning into me," once again nothing. They tried this on Cumulus, same result. They tried this on Prism as well just to make sure it wasn't an illusion.
"Okay Prism try turning into your mother." She did as told and succeeded. The twins gasped. Cumulus and Rainbow cried.
"Why is it just you," asked Midnight as if he would get an answer. Prism sniffled,
"Because I'm a half-ling!" she shouted and ran upstairs. The family was shocked to see her shout.
"You know, I still don't feel sorry for her,"Lightning whispered to Thunder, he silently agreed.
