Rarity decides to play a prank on Applejack. They end up with a kid.

Rarity has always seen her friends playing pranks on each other, and how they seem to enjoy them. So she decides to prank Applejack using the spell that had created Candy Burn. Except she doesn't use it one a piece of candy corn. This time, a rose from Applejack's farm gets brought to life. Unlike Candy Burn, she is a little bit of a hand full. Like Candy Burn, all of her friends (and parents) love her anyway (this is happening at the same time of The Living Energy Rifle).

Shining Armor and Cadence learn

They finally got to the castle, and Applejack placed Fioralba on the table in the dinning hall.

"What are you doing?" Rarity asked.

"She's surprisingly heavy, and Twilight doesn't really appear to be here, and I didn't really want to have to hold her for a possible long time," Applejack said. So they waited. After about an hour, Twilight returned with Fluttershy.

"Oh, hey! What are you two doing here?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, my prank didn't really work," Rarity said. Fluttershy looked confused.

"What prank?" she asked, but nobody heard.

"And?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, now we have a kid," Rarity said, pointing to Fioralba.

"Oh, wow. Did you use a rose?" Twilight asked.

"Yes," Rarity said. "So, can you do the scans that you did on Candy Burn on her?"

"Sure. What's her name?" Twilight asked.

"Fioralba," Rarity said.

"What a pretty name!" said Fluttershy

"Yeah, that is an interesting name. By the way, Applejack, could you go get Candy Burn? She said she was going to be with The Cutie Mark Crusaders today, and she needs to be here for something," Twilight said.

"Ok. What's happening?" Applejack asked.

"A few things. One of them being that Shining Armor and Cadence are coming here and I want Candy Burn to meet them," Twilight said.

"Ok!" Applejack said. "Besides, this process takes a while, right?"

"Yes," responded Twilight. Applejack exited and it sounded like she started running. Twilight picked Fioralba up and entered the room where she had tested Candy Burn. So Rarity waited. After a while, Applejack returned with Candy Burn.

"So, you animated another inanimate object?" Candy Burn asked. Rarity nodded.

"What's her name?" she asked.

"Fioralba," Rarity said.

"Huh, what an interesting name. So is she why I had to come back? I had just met this interesting girl who appears to have lost her memory," Candy Burn said.

"Oh, so that's who that was," said Applejack. "I was wondering who that was!"

"Ok, I'm done!" Twilight said. "Come on in!" The girls entered the room and were blasted with yelling. Rarity frowned and casted a silence spell around Fioralba.

"So, is she ok?" Applejack asked.

"Just freaked out. Other then that, everything normal," Twilight said.

"I wouldn't exactly call that tail normal, but then I am a piece of candy corn," Candy Burn said. Fioralba looked confused and looked like she was saying "What?"

"So, is she why I had to come back home?" Candy Burn asked.

"No, my brother and his wife are coming and I want you to meet them," Twilight said.

"Really? You have a brother?" Candy Burn asked.

"Yes she does," a voice behind them said. Everyone turned around to see Shining Armor and Cadence.

"BBBFF!" Twilight yelled before she tackled him into a hug.

"Hey Twilly, it's good to see you to!" he said, managing to get Twilight off.

"Hey Twilight!" Cadence said, and hugged Twilight.

"Hey! It's so good to see you guys again!" Twilight said, letting go of Cadence.

"So, I hear you're getting married?" asked Shining Armor grinning.

"Yes," Twilight said, putting her forehoof around Fluttershy's shoulder.

"So, who's the lucky guy?" asked Cadence.

"It's actually Fluttershy!" Twilight said, kissing Fluttershy's check, causing her to blush. Shining Armor's jaws dropped.

"You're gay?" Shining Armor gasped. Cadence frowned and whacked his head. Shining Armor blushed and rubbed his head.

"Sorry, but this is a surprise!" Shining Armor said in defense.

"I understand," said Twilight.

"So, who's this?" Shining Armor asked, turning towards Candy Burn.

"I'm Candy Burn," she said, sticking out her hoof.

"What, is she like your daughter or something?" Shining Armor asked sarcastically.

"That's exactly what I am," said Candy Burn. Shining Armor gasped.

"You've already adopted somepony? You re not officially married yet!" Cadence whacked his head again.

"Sorry!" he said.

"It's ok, but she's not adopted. A while ago I discovered a spell that bonded two people's DNA to an object of there choosing. Candy Burn was created by this spell, and so was this girl," Twilight said, nodding to Fioralba. Shining Armor's and Cadence's jaws dropped.

"That is some pretty powerful magic," said Shining Armor.

"Wait, then what is Candy Burn?" Cadence asked. This time, Shining Armor got to whack her head.

"I was originally a piece of candy corn. I think she was a rose," said Candy Burn.

"And then there's the other one," said Pinkie. Everyone jumped.

"Where did you come from?!" asked Shining Armor. Nobody listened.

"What other one?" asked Cadence.

"Yeah, last night I accidentally casted the animation spell, and it hit something. We're not even completely sure what to look for!" Twilight said.

"So you've already got 2 kids?" asked Shining Armor.

"Yes. But don't worry, I doubt anything bad going to happen," Twilight said.

"And you didn't even have to go throw pregnancy?" Shining Armor asked. Twilight slightly blushed

"No. You want to bond Cadence's and your DNA to something, don't you?" asked Twilight. There was an awkward silence following.

".......No. Maybe. Ok, just a little bit," said Shining Armor.

"Don't worry, I can possible give you the spell later, but only if Cadence agrees," Twilight said.

"So, this rose girl is new?" Cadence asked.

"Yes, she was created about an hour ago," Rarity said. There was some muffled speech coming from Fioralba. Rarity removed the silence spell.

"I was created?!" she yelled.

"Yes, but only because of me and Applejack not being able to have a kid," said Rarity, thinking on the spot.

"We did?" Applejack asked.

"Really?" Fioralba asked. "Wow, that was actually kind of anticlimactic."

"Twilight, I must ask you some things about this spell," said Shining Armor.

"Now?" Twilight asked.

"It doesn't need to be now, it can be later," Shining Armor said.

"Ok, I can tell you some now," Twilight said.

Awkwardness

"Wow, I have a sibling?" asked Candy Burn asked.

"Yes, we meant to tell you, but we didn't know what to look for!" said Twilight, apologetically.

"You don't know what you hit?" Candy Burn asked.

"No, but Pinkie's already looking for her," Fluttershy said. Candy Burn rubbed her chin.

"I think I know who you're looking for," she said.

"Really?" Twilight asked, surprised.

"Yes, she was with me and the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and she calls herself Taissy," Candy Burn said.

"What does she look like?" Twilight asked.

"She has purple eyes, and has silver skin," Candy Burn said.

"Wait, I think I remember seeing her when I got you!" Applejack said. Candy Burn nodded.

"Yeah, that was her," Candy Burn said.

"So, am I just going to stay here?" Fioralba asked, starting to look annoyed.

"No, you can stay at my house," Rarity said. "Twilight, can you please release her?"

"Sure," Twilight said as she removed the things holding Fioralba to the table. Suddenly, Pinkie appeared.

"Hey Twilight, I know where your other kid is!" she yelled.

"Really? Where?" Twilight asked urgently. Pinkie pointed out the window.

"Head that way. You'll find the ruins of a castle. That's where she is!" Pinkie yelled before disappearing.

"Sorry guys, I got to go!" Twilight yelled, kissing Fluttershy's cheek and flying out the window.

"Thanks," Fioralba said, looking at Rarity.

"Yeah, you're welcome," Rarity said, smiling. "Besides, I need to plan Twilight's and Fluttershy's wedding. When did you want it to happen again?"

"Preferable within the next few days," Fluttershy said. Rarity eyes bulged.

"The next few days? You want it that soon?" Rarity yelled.

"Yes," Fluttershy said.

"Wow, that's really fast!" Applejack said.

"So, got any siblings?" Fioralba asked Rarity as they walked back to the boutique.

"Yes," Rarity said. "I hope you don't mind, but I have to work on organizing a wedding. Sweetie Bell is probably already home, so you too could meet. Just don't yet tell her that your my daughter, OK? I don'y think she's ready for that kind of knowledge.

"OK. Her name is Sweetie Bell?" Fioralba asked.

"Yes. Don't let her name fool you, she's not always sweet," Rarity said.

"Something tells me that you don't like her to much," Fioralba said.

"Eh, sisterly love," Rarity said.

"So, when do we get there?" Fioralba asked. Rarity asked.

"That's it, actually," Rarity said. They entered the boutique.

"Wow, fancy," Fioralba commented.

"Yeah, well, I am one of the most popular clothes designer in town," Rarity said. Someone poked their face around one of the corners.

"Finally! Where where you?" she asked.

"Sweetie Bell! Don't be rude! We have a..... guest with us," Rarity said, annoyed. Sweetie Bell looked at Fioralba. She walked up to her and stuck out her hoof.

"Hi, I'm Sweetie Bell. What's your name?" she asked.

"I'm Fioralba, I'll be staying with you for a while," Fioralba said.

"Really? You wouldn't happen to be another product of that animation spell that made Candy Burn, would you?" Sweetie Bell joked. Rarity and Fioralba stared at her.

"Wow, that was fast. Yes, yes I am," Fioralba said. Sweetie Bell's jaw dropped.

"Seriously?!?! Wait, my sister's one of your parents? Who's the other one?" Sweetie Bell yelled.

"Applejack, and I thought you asked that because you saw my tail!" said Fioralba.

"Seriously? Applejack? Oh man, this is going to be strange, explaining this to Apple Bloom," said Sweetie Bell.

"Why?" asked Fioralba.

"One of my friends is the sister of your other mom!" said Sweetie Bell.

"Oh, wow, that is going to be awkward," Fioralba said.

"Well, I was going to meet them again about now, want to come?" Sweetie Bell asked.

"Sure! Although it might make the situation even more awkward," Fioralba said.

You tried to prank someone?

It was the afternoon Pinkie's party and Twilight was helping Rarity with something in the castle of friendship.

"You want to prank someone?" Twilight asked, and not for the first time.

"Yes. Preferable with that spell that created Candy Burn," Rarity said.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think I can let you do that. Last time all those random things came to life," Twilight said.

"Yeah, but that was because you weren't using it on a specific object," Rarity said.

"Yeah, good point. But are you sure you want to do this? Who are you even doing it on?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, I'm sure, and you'll find out when she tells you," Rarity said, grinning a little. Twilight paused for a few seconds and stared at Rarity.

"How is this a prank? You're basically forcing another pony into a relationship with you!" Twilight said.

"Yeah, that is true, but I think I can modify the spell to only make a hologram of what the kid might look like," Rarity said.

"Ok, you can try, but tell me how it goes later," Twilight said as she gave Rarity the spell.

Rarity picked up a rose as she walked towards Sweet Apple Acers.

How am I going to get Applejack to touch this? Rarity wondered as she casted the spell.

"Howdy Rarity. What are you doing here?" Applejack asked. Rarity jumped.

"Oh! Hi Applejack!" Rarity said. I didn't expect to see her so soon!

"What's the flower for? You're not dating Big Macintosh, are you?" asked Applejack. Rarity shock her head.

"No, but you need to smell it. It is really good!" Rarity said, thinking quick, handing Applejack the rose. When Applejack touched it, a bright light appeared around it.Uh oh, I don't think I did it correctly, thought Rarity.

"Uh, what's happening?" Applejack asked nervously.

"A prank!" Rarity giggled.

"What? You tried to prank me?" Applejack asked.

"Yes!" Rarity said as the light grew brighter.

"What exactly was this prank?" Applejack asked.

"Yeah, I was hoping for a hologram of what a kid with our DNA would look like as a rose," Rarity said.

"You can do that?" Applejack asked.

"Eh, I was trying to modify the spell to do that," said Rarity. "But apparently all it does is make this light." Suddenly the light became complete and Rarity and Applejack had to cover their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, there was a girl laying on the ground in front of them. She had light blue eyes, shoulder length hair of the same color, white fur, and shiny red hooves. The strangest thing is, she had a flower tail.

"Wow, nice hologram," Applejack said as she looked at her.

"Um, that's not a hologram," said Rarity. Applejack stared at her.

"This ain't a hologram? You mean we actually have a kid now?" Applejack asked.

"It appears so. Can pranks go wrong? Because this on just did," asked Rarity.

"Yes. You know the cancellation spell, right?" Applejack asked.

"No. Besides, I think we should keep her!" said Rarity.

"Really? Actually, yeah, this might not be so bad!" said Applejack. "Wait, does she have a name?"

"I don't think so. Candy Burn wasn't born with one. I think we should call her Fioralba!" Rarity said.

"Fioralba?" Applejack asked.

"Yeah, it's Italian for flower dawn," Rarity explained.

"Ok, how are we going to explain that we now have a kid? We used the spell that Twilight used for Candy Burn, and then all those things came to life," said Applejack.

"Oh, don't worry, Twilight wasn't using the spell on anything specific, which is why those things came to life," said Rarity.

"Huh, ok!" said Applejack. "So, where should we take her?" asked Applejack.

"Take who where?" asked Fioralba. Rarity and Applejack jumped a little in surprise.

"You, um, to a friend's house to make sure that you're ok!" Applejack said, thinking on the spot. Fioralba looked at Applejack.

"Ok. Why can't I remember anything?" Fioralba asked, starting to freak out a little bit.

Because you don't have anything to remember," Rarity thought.

"Depends. Although it usually is," said Rarity.

"Ok," said Fioralba. She then looked behind her and saw her tail and she started to freak out.

"Ok, that's not normal! Why do I have a flower tail?!" she yelled.

"Calm down!" Rarity yelled, trying to make herself louder then Fioralba, but was unsuccessful.

"Don't make me use a sleep spell!" Rarity yelled. When Fioralba didn't calm down, so that's what Rarity did. When Fioralba collapsed, she asked Applejack "Could you carry her?"

"Sure," Applejack said as she got Fioralba onto her back.

"Ok, we should get to Twilight's house, and hopefully we will have come up with a good enough reason to why she has a rose for a tail," said Rarity.

"We could just tell her she was created with a spell," suggested Applejack. Rarity glared at her.

"We can't do that!" Rarity said.

"Why not? Twilight and Fluttershy told Candy Burn," said Applejack.

"That is true. However, Fioralba could react totally different," said Rarity.

"Ok, maybe we should ask for some help when we get to the castle," said Rarity, starting to walk towards the castle.

"Yeah, we probably should," replied Applejack, starting to follow Rarity.

The new marriage

"Come on, girls! We have a wedding to prepare!" Rarity yelled. It was a few days after Fioralba had met Sweetie Bell, and they were just waking up.

"But we just got up!" Sweetie Bell grumbled as she and Fioralba walked down the stairs.

"Sorry, but I have been trusted with organizing the wedding of a princess! On top of that, Twilight and Fluttershy are my friends, and they deserve a good wedding!" Rarity said.

"She has a point," Fioralba said. Sweetie Bell sighed.

"Yeah, she does. So, what do we need to do?" Sweetie Bell asked.

"First, you two need to get some materials for dresses, and then you're going to need to help me sew the wedding dresses," Rarity said.

A few days later, everything was done, except for the actual process of the marriage, which was happening at the moment.

"Then, by the power of your live and commitment, and the power vested in me by the Governing Body of Equestia, I now pronounce you married! You may now kiss each other!" Mayor Mare was just saying. Rarity was sobbing into Fioralba's shoulder. Fioralba and Sweetie Bell were also crying, just not as hard as Rarity, or Twilight's family, including Candy Burn and Cadence.

"LET"S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" Pinkie yelled.

"It's so beautiful!" Rarity sobbed, mascara running down her cheeks. Someone tapped her shoulder, and she turned her head.

"Oh, hey Applejack," she said.

"Hey Rarity. You did a good job with organizing this," Applejack said, tears running down her cheeks. Rarity smiled.

"Thank you. Sorry you had to see me like this, but this wedding was just so beautiful!" Rarity sobbed.

"Yeah, it was. Hopefully, you'll do this good with the next one," Applejack said, taking a small box out of a pocket her dress had.

"What next one?" Rarity asked.

"Ours. Will you marry me?" Applejack asked. The ponies that were in the immediate vicinity gasped. Especially Rarity, Fioralba and Sweetie Bell.

"Well, that was quick. How am I going to break it to Apple Bloom that out sisters are getting married?!" asked Sweetie Bell. Rarity swiped at her head, but missed.

"Yes, Applejack!" Rarity cried, wrapping her forehooves around Applejack's neck and started kissing her.

"Well, that escalated quickly," Sweetie Bell said.

"Yeah, that did. Was Twilight's proposal to Fluttershy like this?" Fioralba asked. Sweetie Bell shrugged.

"I don't know," Sweetie Bell said.
