Ponies In Reverse

“Of all the things that could happen,” sobbed Rarity, “this is the—!”

“Don’t say it, Rarity!” interrupted Rainbow Dash. “DO—NOT—DARE!”

“Rainbow’s right, everypony,” affirmed Applejack. “There’s no use cryin’ like a filly now.”

“But we are fillies!” countered Pinkie Pie.

“That’s not what I meant, Pinkie!” corrected Applejack. “Now, look. We gotta find a grown-up pony we can trust—somepony responsible. Y’all hear me?”

Everypony nodded in obedience to Applejack.

“We can’t go visit Princess Luna or Princess Celestia,” piped up Twilight Sparkle. “For all we know, they could be trapped—or worse!”

“Zecora’s not an option, either,” added Fluttershy. “What if she’s a helpless filly, too?”

“Ooh, ooh—what about Mr. and Mrs. Cake?” suggested Pinkie Pie.

“I doubt that they’re old enough anymore, Pinkie,” answered Twilight.

“Wait a sec!” called out Applejack. “Granny Smith! Perhaps she’s still old enough to look after us!”

“Applejack!” cried Rarity. “You’re a genius!”

“Aw, shucks, Rarity,” answered Applejack. “I was just tellin’ the truth.”

“I’m glad you still represent the Element of Honesty, Applejack,” said Twilight.

“Let’s hurry, everypony!” called Applejack, and everypony headed for Sweet Apple Acres.
