Girly, Girly Rainbow Dash

"Pinkie, I need your help," Twilight says, sighing slightly as she closes Sugarcube Corner's door which catches Pinkie off-guard.

"Help?!" Pinkie jumps up and stops frosting her last batch of cupcakes, "Wow, you never ask me for help. What do you need?" She finishes with one of the biggest smiles she has had all year.

Twilight crosses her arms and huffs a breath of irritation. "Well, it's about Rainbow Dash. She got into pranking again. Long story short, she—" She is then suddenly cut off by Pinkie Pie.

"Set off a glitzy-glittery glitter bomb while you were in the middle of organizing your books and now all your books are totally covered in glitter that's really hard to get out of everywhere?" Pinkie leans on the table and blinks in innocent curiosity. You could hear her lashes going clink-clink with every blink.

Twilight meanwhile stares at her with her mouth still open. "How did you... Did Rainbow Dash tell you that?"

"Nah, lucky guess!" Pinkie says chuckling,"But I'm not the best at cleaning, couldn't you get Spike or Starlight or Rarity or somepony else to help you?"

"Spike already cleaned it and Starlight went to go study some magic. Anyways, I'm not asking you to clean or help organize. I'm asking you to help me get her back." Twilight says with a slightly annoyed but mischievous smile.

"Ohhhhh" Pinkie says, laughing afterwards, "Sure thing, I'll gladly help you prank Dashie."

"Thanks." Twilight says, taking a deep breath, "Since she basically 'girly'-ed my room up, it left me with a nice idea. I designed a formula for a special potion that will temporarily make her act more girly than usual."

"Wowzers, That's a great idea, especially for a first prank." Pinkie comments, "But... Potion making? I'm pretty sure you can handle that." She finishes, her smile returning to normal even though her excitement is through the roofs.

"Well, researching this idea to see if it could be done, I found nothing that I could make myself. But, I came across a spell that uses alicorn magic to trap a mimicked personality for a short period of time. I devised using that as a catalysts and with a few other ingredients I think I can make it work for about ten to thirty minutes." Twilight pauses, clearly seeing that Pinkie is just nodding along at this point and not paying much attention to what's being said. “Pinkie, are you listening?”

"What? Yeah, I got it. Why do you need my help though?"

Twilight stops herself just in time to keep from eye-rolling at Pinkie’s short attention span. "Unless you want to help make it I only need some of your hair." She finishes, Pinkie speaking instantly after.

"I can help make it? Yes. Yes. Count me in!" She says, jumping up and down with excitement.

"Thanks, I'm a bit short on time. So go get some girly things and meet me at my castle." Twilight says, her devious smile returning as she watches Pinkie race off before going back to her castle and getting every other ingredient ready.

Minutes pass before Pinkie Pie arrives at the castle, a filled bag in her hand as she looks around for Twilight. When the door falls shut behind her, the sudden noise immediately draws Twilight's attention.

"In here." Twilight calls out, causing Pinkie to follow the sound and eventually lead to a small room filled with various things that Pinkie only assumed were ingredients, and a large cauldron in the middle of the entire room. "Okay, I already added the basic base ingredients, Just need whatever girly item you brought mixed with your and Rarity's hair for some of your personality."

“Wait.. Rarity’s hair?” Pinkie asked.

“Well, she was my first choice, but thinking about it… I would place her more in the ‘Lady’ or ‘Woman’ category. I’m only going to use a small amount of hair from a brush I borrowed.” Twilight says.

"Uh.. Okay?!" Pinkie said slightly confused, but excited none the less.

“Anyways, where was I… Oh, your hair.” Twilight says right before taking a deep breath and then continuing, "While I cast a surprisingly tough spell that can mimic pieces of a personality from a person’s hair. Would you add some of the items you decided to bring?"

"Sure thing. Any limit to how many items I should add?"

"Well, this is the first time a potion like this has been attempted," Twilight pauses momentarily, "Well, that I know of. Anyways, add a few items, not too much." Twilight finishes, looking over the various papers she has scattered around her.

"Okie Dokie!" Pinkie gleefully says, going over to the bubbling liquid in the middle of the room. 'I only have around ten... maybe twenty-ish items... That's not too much... and even if it is, not much some nail polish and pin shirts can do,' she thinks, shrugging as she just puts her bag in the cauldron, watching it slowly sink down into the liquid and bubbles popping around it. "Uh... done?" She says.

"Yeah, Yeah. I think I almost have this spell down." Twilight says, trying to stare a group of particularly stubborn letters into submission. "I thought I would have it by now... Hmmm. Why don't you just go ahead and add the Poison Joke leaves. Just one or two leaves though." She says, attempting to cast the spell and failing again. Not by much, though, she suspects.

Pinkie looks around for a few seconds, finally stopping her search at three decently sized, clear containers that looks to each be filled with Poison Joke leaves. "Poison Joke, are they in these three clear containers here?" Pinkie asks, not wanting to mess up the spell.

Twilight sighs as the spell fizzles out before looking over towards Pinkie, "Those three containers.... Yeah, I almost got the spell down. Just. Put one in like I said." Twilight says, taking a deep breath before trying the spell yet again on Rarity's hair she collected from a hairbrush.

'Put one of these in...... Wow, potion making makes no sense' Pinkie thinks as she picks up one of the containers, opening it and heading over to the cauldron, ‘I guess that’s why it’s not called sense making.’ "You sure Twi..." Pinkie asks, ready to dump one whole container into the liquid.

"Look..." Twilight says struggling, "J-Just... put one in like I said." She says, her magic slowly dying down.

"Okay..." Pinkie says, dumping one of the containers in, letting hundreds of Poison Joke petals into the mixture. She then closes the empty container and puts it back on the shelf, almost falling as Twilight screams out with joy.

"Yes. Yes. It worked!" Twilight says smiling, using magic to hover a strange dark purple aura into the cauldron. She looks into the cauldron slightly before mixing it quickly, not knowing how unstable the spell or aura is. "Okay.. This may or may not now have the capacity to explode... So... Just need to cast the spell on you and quickly get it to Rainbow!" She exclaims.

"Oh.. Okay... Will it hurt?" Pinkie asks, causing Twilight to think for a second.

"It shouldn't." She says before awkwardly standing there for a few seconds, deciding to just cast the spell. This time she got it her second try, and quickly moved the Pink aura into the mixture, quickly mixing it before using magic to compress the entire mixture and then hovering it over into a sports drink bottle. "There..."

"Wow, thanks for the warning..." Pinkie says slightly less excited than usual before going back to her normal energetic self. "Anyways.. What now?"

"Now, Now you're going to get Rainbow to drink this." Twilight says as she hands Pinkie the bottle.

"Me?!'

"Yeah, you're a better liar than me. Plus, the effects are harmless. She should show some signs of being more girly after a minute or so, after around half an hour it goes away and she's back to normal. Well, as long as everything was prepared correctly, but I made sure I did everything right!" Twilight rambles on slightly, grabbing a camera before heading to Rainbow Dash's house with Pinkie. “Won’t she be surprised!”
