Cadence and Shining watched as Trixike played with the Mini Luna and the cart.

"She's completely enamored with those two toy's imparticular isn't she?" Shining asked as Trixike pushed the toy back and forth, suddenly she held up her arm and began chewing on the stitches in her arm

"Hey!" Cadence yelped without hesitation "Don't do that!"

"Trixike is only cleaning herself" Trixike shot back "and if they break off then she will stitch them shut herself like the first time" she turned back and began biting into the arm again, only stopping when Cadence forced her to stop with magic "But it Itches!" She whined as Cadence pulled her over to make sure nothing had been reopened, however, a new problem was brought to their eye's as soon as Cadence noticed an off black mark on Trixike's neck.

"Is that what I think it is?" she asked, Shining looked at in and frowned

"If you were thinking it was a Tick, then yes." he confirmed "and now that I'm getting a good look at her snarl...her Teeth are rather yellow...and her scales are all scuffed and scratched, and there is a fair amount of mud around the base of her horns too."

"Your mane is a mess!" Cadence added as she looked at it, a small stick was stuck behind Trixike's ear "When's the last time you brushed your teeth? Or brushed your mane? Or took a Bath even?"

"Why are you yelling gibberish at me?" Trixike asked Cadence and Shining turned to each other

"Discord made a set of chains so we could mover her around right?" Cadence asked

"Indeed he did" Shinning confirmed

"Good, go get them." Cadence said Shinning took off at full speed as Cadence turned back to Trixike "how do you not smell?"

"I Can Smell!" Trixike shot back "how dare you accuse Trixike's body of not functioning at maximum working order!"

-Meanwhile-

The Mega Flower and P.T.M.C where tiered, they had been walking for almost three hours, and they were still far from their goal

"Rest?" Palrabtus asked

"Rest" Mega Flower confirmed flopping its roots down and groaning. As the two mega monsters embraced the sweet feeling of not doing anything several pairs of eyes stared down at them

"These are them correct?" the owner of one of the eye's asked

"Yes, A Deamon Flower and a Supper sized tropical crustation" another pair confirmed, this one having a normal eye and a black eye with a white pupil "To be taken in alive, per the queen's orders" the other eye's nodded

"Good, Excellent, Fantastic even!" the eye's emerged from the shadow's and the black Changling looked down at the unaware monsters "Queen Chrysalis will be thrilled...wait..." The changling did a quick headcount "I'm only counting two?"

"Yes, these are two of the three targets" the changling with weird eyes confirmed.

"Where is the maker?" the first one asked in confusion "the one who is the creator of these monster before us, the one in which was the only one we had to come back with?" the 2nd one looked down at the monsters

"that is not with these, so it is safe to assume that that one is...not here" the first changling grumbled angrily

"Dumb, Stupid, Low intelligence even" he muttered, "Release the gas group-A, and return these ones to the Queen, Group-B discards the material and use the 2nd one to locate the maker." The Changeling's moved into position. and the 1st changling watched as his orders where followed and gas was released onto the monsters, before they could even react the two beasts went down, along with about half the squad as well

"Wow, a new record," the 2nd one said counting the ones that had passed out "we've never had so few casualties before."

"Useless, Unneeded, Pointless even!" The 1st one complained "we use to be mighty, but then those traitors had to go become magic Skittles and betray our queen!" the Changling turned to group-B, who had discarded the Large Thorn retrieved from Ponyville and were now using a blue wizard hat

"And?" the 1st one asked in excitement

"unsure sir" one of them replied "Bad Signal" the first one groaned

"Fuck, Shit, Dammit even!" He complained as the first group attempted to move the large monsters and there passed out companions

-Meanwhile-

"NO!" Trixike screamed as Cadence and Shining used a combination of their magic to make her follow them, she had two small crystal rings around her horns and a neck chain, canceling out her magic and her Fire Breath. tho she was doing a good job at clinging to the wall.

"You need it" Shinning grumbled as he pulled on her with as much magical force as he could.

"NO!" She screamed back

"Trixike, You are coming with us this instant!" Cadence said as she pulled on Trixike, finally, with a loud crunch The wall Trixike was clinking to broke off still in her hands

"NO!" She denied, still holding the broken wall piece as the two dragged her up the stairs "TRIXIKE WILL NOT!!" it felt like forever, but the two finally pulled Trixike into their bathroom and with a loud click Cadence magically locked the door. "NO!" Trixike said swinging the broken chunk of the wall at them, in a flash that was removed from the room "YOU CAN NOT MAKE HER!!" She screamed before Cadence forced her mouth open

"Now!" Shining lit his horn and opened a drawer, taking out an emergency back up tooth-brush and took the toothpaste of the counter, after setting it up he forced it into Trixike's mouth and began brushing as Cadence forced her to keep her mouth open

"Just let it happen," Cadence said as Trixike tried to crush the brush with her teeth while fighting it off with her tongue

"Stop...fighting!" Shining said, "This is for...your dental health!" After 7 and a half minutes he finally finished "Alright time for the horns!" Shining placed the brush on the counter and took another one from the drawer, at the same time getting a cup of water and pouring it in Trixike's mouth, who spat it out.

"NO!" Trixie continued screaming "NO!!!" Cadence forced her to look down and helped Shining in scrubbing the gunk off her horns, once done Shining held her down as Cadence filled the tub with boiling hot water

"That seems a little hot honey" Shining chimed in

"One time Spi...One time he told me that the only way to properly buff out scales is with boiling water and a lot of scrubbing

"RELEASE ME, INSOLENT FOOL BOY!!" Trixike screamed as Shining sat next to her calmly waiting for his cue.

"Alright, did you place the spell on her arm?" Cadence asked

"the Stitched won't be bothered by the water" Shining confirmed as he levitated and forced Trixike into the water, she immediately pushed against the tub's rims. Cadence plucked one of her feathers walked to Trixike and tickled her, resulting in Trixike's laughing and falling in, she began screaming again, when Cadence dropped a few tub toy's in the water, Trixike stopped and looked at them float, before giggling and grabbing two of them the couple sat back sighing as they watched her calm down and begin playing with the tub toys

"Great, "Shining groaned "now once she's scrubbed and cleaned she's gonna be screaming at us to put her back in the tub for half an hour."

"Oh, no dought about it" Cadence agreed as they watched her play with the little toy boat's. "then we get to do the exact same thing with Flurry." She added Shining's eye's twitched and he face planted on the floor.
