Chapter one

Starlight Glimmer groaned before yelling, "Alright, I'll change him back!" before she started to run after the red stallion.

After a few minutes Starlight found herself at a loss on where the poor guy was. "Big Macintosh? Where are you? Look... I'm sorry about the spell. If you just come on out I can remove it..." When no answer came she rubbed her hoof down her face. "Oh Applejack's going to hate me... Stupid Starlight! Stupid. Oh a naturally quite stallion! I know I'll put a spell on him without his or his sister's consent that will make him unable to stay quiet!" She began to pace back and forth, thinking.

Her head shot up as she thought of an Idea. "I know! I'll ask around! Someone that big is sure to attract attention." With that plan she set off for Ponyville.

Starlight's steps slowed as she walked up to the scene before her. dozens of mares were all on the ground struggling to find their footing. "W-what happened here!?" she asked loudly.

One of them sat up shakily "I-It was Big Macintosh! He- he... he said so many... wonderful things!" She then swooned before passing out.

"Uh-oh... Quick which way did he go!"

One of the nearby stallions who was helping his marefriend up shot her a dirty look. "He took off twords the school house... that Macintosh! Ohh! You know what! I'm going to give him a piece of my mind. Who's with me?" He shouted towards his fellow stallions. With a yell they joined him.

Starlight sucked in a breath through her clenched teeth." Oooh... Not good." She allowed her horn to glow before teleporting to the school. The scene before her was even worse. Picnic tables were overturned and food was thrown everywhere. Stallions, colts and fillies were all trying to get their wives and mothers to stop their thousand yard stares and focus on them. She looked behind her and saw a banner that read, "First Annual Random Family Picnic!!" she groaned before searching a member of the small gathering not showing hearts for eyes. Her eyes fell on three fillies, two out of the three looking like they just watched a grown stallion and mare make a baby, but otherwise they looked perfectly fine.

She ran up to the three. "Quick! Which way did he go?"

"Ah' will never look at mah' brother the same way again... Ah've been scarred..." The yellow pony said aloud. Starlight winced, before turning to look at the second pony.

The white unicorn started to wobble before she whispered "I think I'm in love..." Starlight started sweating as panic began to build.

The last one shrugged before pointing back through town. "He was headed back towards Fluttershy's the last I saw him."

"Y-you're not bothered?" She asked curiously?

"Of what? Big Mac? No. I'm used to him talking all fancy and smart..." She said calmly. "Though having no drawl is new."

The unicorn paused. "Wait, what? I thought... you mean?"

"What? You thought he was a big flirt and gabbed to all the mares in Ponyville because a spell broke his inhibitor?"

Starlight nodded once. Scootaloo laughed. "Of course not! He's Big macintosh. It's just ponies aren't used to having a really smart pony not talking and suddenly being able to answer anything from math to philosophical questions on life... "She leaned closer. "Girls like that in a stallion..."

She groaned, before disappearing in a flash of light.

Scootaloo shrugged before turning around to watch Snips talk to Snails about a physiological question about gum. "Girls like smart colts..." she whispered dreamily.

Starlight snapped in front of a Fluttershy's shed. She reached out to knock on the door only to be stopped by the clip clops of a pony running behind her. She turned to just fast enough to see a mass of red stop in front of her.

He took a breath. "You have to assist me! Please! I implore you. Release me from this magical mockery of speech and grammar. I detest speaking in such large unusual language! Oh the horrors i witnessed! The world views of so many ponies shattered by my vallecular alone! Oh the ponanity!" He took another breath.

Starlight took this opportunity to fire her counterspell into his mouth eliminating the effects of her first one. Slowly he exhaled..."Thank you..."

She smiled and was about to say you're welcome when he put his forehead to hers. "Ya' should be ashamed of yer'self! Why If mah' Granny were here she'd have no qualms about teachin' ya' a lession about what happens when ya' play with magic around us Apples!" Big Macintosh, yelled. His deep voice causing her to shiver. "When AJ told me that ya' were one of them magic types ah' guessed that she meant like Miss Twilight. NOPE! Y'er like that discord fella! Always controlin' ponies, always causing mayhem without meanin' to, always cryin'!" His eyes flew open as he watched as she cowered away from him. Tears falling down her cheeks onto the dirt path.

Big Mac grimaced. "Dang It... Granny's gonna skin me alive... Miss Glimmer... look Ah'm sorry fer' yelling at ya'. It's just ah' like the way ah' talk and it ain't yer place to force yer' ways onto other ponies... Especially when ya don't even know em'." He lifted her chin with his hoof and looked into her eyes. "Ah' forgive ya... Just don't be makin' it a habit."

Her eyes grew wide before she quickly launched herself into him and wrapped her forehooves around his neck. "I'm so sorry!" She siad into his neck.

Big Macintosh grew red at the closeness of the mare. "E-eeyup..." H stumered. When she didn't let go he coughed. "Erm pardon... Miss Glimmer? Could ah' have mah neck back? Ah have a lot of work t' do and not enough hours left in the day from me to do em..."

She unwrapped her hooves before lowering herself back to her standing position. "If you want I can alway teleport you back?" She asked teasingly.

He chuckled nervously. "N-na ahm fine Miss Glimmer... Ah'll see you around though." With that he turned back twords the farm. She sighed and lowered her head.

"THERE HE IS!"

"GET HIM!"

Shocked horse noise "NOPE!"

She looked up just in time to see a mass of stallions give chase to a dust cloud. She smiled nervously before saying to no one, " My bad."
