Honesty Is Fattening?!?
Lifting Up the Curse
Previous ChapterMeanwhile at night, the rest of the girls went to Zecora to get help.
"We saw her growing 50 pounds fatter as she told us what's going on," said Sunset, "So how are we going to help her lift up the curse on her own?"
Zecora sighed and said, "Now that you all know what's wrong, and now I'm concerned that her honesty is too strong. I can feel that it's getting worse than I thought, this curse she's under is too tough for herself to be fought."
"So she does need our help," said Rainbow, "I knew it!"
"When you head out, tell her that I was wrong and I'm sorry," said Zecora with a frown as she gave the remedy spell to the girls, "Take the remedy spell, give it to her and tell her to read it out loud before the sky is no longer starry."
"Oh m-m-my..." stammered Fluttershy as her eyes widened in panic.
"Come on, girls!" said Sunset, "We don't have much time to lift up Applejack's curse!"
While the girls thanked Zecora and left to lift up the curse, Applejack was outside of her house, trying her very best to silence herself from being honest, but she couldn't keep her mouth shut. Every time she used too much honesty, her health would be in danger as Zecora said. So far, she used her honesty about two more times, and grew 100 pounds fatter. "Oh crabapples!!!" she cried, "I can't help it when it comes ta honesty! I mean it's too impossible fer me ta lift up the curse on my own!"
"Applejack!" Pinkie called out.
Applejack turned and saw her friends running towards her. "Huh? What're y'all doin' here?" she asked.
"No time to explain," said Sunset as she gave the remedy spell to her, "Read the remedy spell out loud before the sun rises!"
"Uh, it's only 10:30 at night," said Applejack, "Ya got plenty of time ta explain."
"Um, okay," Sunset said confusingly, "Zecora wanted us to tell you that she was wrong about lifting up the curse by yourself, and she's sorry."
"She also said that the curse is too tough for you to fight on your own," added Rainbow, "So I knew you need help all along."
"The only way to lift up the curse for good is for you to read the remedy spell out loud before the sun comes up," said Fluttershy.
Applejack was confused about the change of remedies. "First off, I've been told ta find a way ta lift up the curse on my own, and now I have ta read the remedy spell out loud," she said, "Now that's confusin'." She sighed sadly, looked down at her huge fat belly and slowly massaged it.
A little while later at one minute till midnight, the girls started to get hopeful for her. Pinkie's fingered were crossed, and Fluttershy started to pray for this moment to be a success.
Applejack then started to read the remedy spell out loud.
"Cursed fortune, it is a fake,
Sufferance I can no longer take.
Under the curse I will never be,
The curse is lifted, now set me free."
The glow suddenly shined bright around her, flaring some light beams. She closed her eyes during her weight transformation. The shining glow shined bright enough to blind friends. Her body slowly slimmed back to its original form and the glow slowly faded away. She was now free from the curse. She opened her eyes afterwards. She looked at her normal body form and felt extremely happy and excited. "YEEEE-HAAAWW!!!" she exclaimed, "I'm at my normal weight! Winona's gonna be super excited ta see me like this again!" Her eyes began to fill up with tears, but she was still smiling, no matter what. She hugged her friends and thanked them for helping her out.
"I wonder if that fortune is still affective or not," said Sci-Twi as she turned to Applejack, "Applejack, say something honest."
"Okay," said Applejack, "I lifted up a table without anyone ta help me."
It turned out that the fake fortune was no longer affective.
"It's not affective," said Sci-Twi, "But is that true? Lifting up the table without anyone at all to help you?"
"Yep, I guarantee ya it's true," Applejack replied, "We didn't know that yer a different kind of Twilight back then."
"That was from the Fall Formal," said Pinkie.
"Anyway, this fake fortune is no longer affective," said Sci-Twi, "So you're officially free from the curse."
Applejack was extremely relieved about it. Since she was free from the curse and the fake fortune was not affective anymore, she could continue her farming life and hanging out with her friends. And it was all thanks mainly to Zecora for helping her out.
