My Little Pony: The Changeling of Friendship
Season 1 - Episode 3: Brainwashed
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"So many positive emotions in one room...it's great!" Amiticia said.
"...He is rather...unique I'll give him that." Shining Armor said.
"He is also a very nice changeling. Yesterday he helped me take care of the animals." Fluttershy said.
"And while we were waiting for you, he helped me figure out how to do a Sonic Rainboom from a standstill." Rainbow Dash said.
"Tis most unusual for a changeling to be friendly after being hit in the head. How much more of his memory has returned?" Princess Luna asked.
"Well the other day, I mentioned the phrase 'other changelings' in a conversation with Applejack and then..." Twilight said and then Amiticia started having an episode.
"I SAID I DON'T WANT TO HURT PONIES! NO WAIT! NOT AGAIN! NOT THE BRAINWASH ZAPPER!" Amiticia yelled. Twilight suddenly used a calming spell. "...Oh thanks again Twilight." Amiticia said.
"Wait...did he just say 'brainwash'?" Celestia asked.
"I...seem to still be missing details from my memory..." Amiticia said.
"Now that is a lie." Applejack said. Amiticia sighed.
"Okay, truth is I do remember something else from before being blasted which resulted in me losing a lot of my memory. I remember being ostracized because I wanted to make friends with Ponies and not be an enemy of them. But other changelings thought I would grow out of that. Eventually. However I never did, so I was hit by something called the Brainwash Zapper a lot, but it was never permanent. But the last thing I remember is that blast that made me get my head hit and fall into the basement of this library home hybrid Twilight lived in. Thing is, I don't know how the Brainwash Zapper blasted me all the way from the temporary Changeling Hive I was living in with the team that was going to attack Canterlot which was hidden within the Everfree Forest all the way to here. Trust me, the hive was VERY deep into Everfree Forest." Amiticia said. "I didn't want to bring this up because I mean...you heard me! That is so super crazy, ain't no one believing that. Even if it is all I can remember." He added.
"He's not lying about all that." Applejack said.
"Hmm..." Twilight said. "Pardon me for a moment, but what was the year you believe that that was?" She asked.
"Why, 1995 AU; After Unification. Is that important?" Amiticia asked.
"Uh oh...so your saying you don't remember ANYTHING after that last brainwashing Zapper?" Twilight asked.
"Nope! Not a thing." Amiticia said.
"Then there's a reason you don't remember anything past that: Because your memory didn't come back UNTIL you got hit in the head. You were brainwashed for two whole years!" Twilight said.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Amiticia said before fainting.
"YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT CHRYSALIS BRAINWASHES HER OWN DRONES!?" Celestia yelled out.
"Seems that way. Or at least most of them." Twilight said.
"Why that dirty..." Applejack said.
"APPLEJACK, PLEASE!" Twilight yelled. "We don't use that kind of language in the library!" She said.
"Oh...right..." Applejack said.
"Now I have to change the orders I gave the guards about the changelings...just in case..." Shining Armor said.
"Oh my gosh...your saying there are others like me who were brainwashed?!" Amiticia said.
"Possibly, yeah." Rarity said.
"We've got to do something to save them! I'm not ever going back to that stupid tyrant queen; I'd rather hang out with all of you guys. Even though it was a short time, I feel like I've learnt quite a bit about Friendship." Amiticia said.
"What a second..." Twilight said before suddenly taking out a book. "I thought the name Amiticia was an odd choice for a name..." Twilight said before going through a book she just grabbed.
"Oh boy...we better leave..." Rainbow Dash said.
"I FOUND IT!" Twilight yelled out.
"...Or not..." Rainbow Dash said.
"Amiticia...that's latin for Friendship!" Twilight said. Everyone but Twilight's jaw dropped, including Amiticia's.
"So wait...your saying that all this time Amiticia's name was latin for FRIENDSHIP?!" Spike exclaimed at the end.
"In a nutshell...yes." Twilight said.
"I...actually kind of like it. I don't know who named me that...but I think this was fate then. I suppose I'll do my best to live up to the name." Amiticia said.
"Just when I thought this wouldn't get any weirder..." Fluttershy said.
"So, then when Amiticia bumped his head, it reversed his brainwashing and made him fall into the basement of someone whose learning friendship?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"Why is it always Pinkie Pie who gets this weird stuff?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Your weird Pinkie Pie, and I like it." Amiticia said.
"Thanks new best friend!" Pinkie Pie said.
"Gah! It's no use! The connection must have been completely severed after he was reminded of his treatments." Chrysalis said. "I suppose efforts to find Thorax will have to be redoubled." She added.
"Your highness, we can not locate Thorax...he's fallen completely off the grid." A drone told her.
"Grr...of all the rotten things to hear. Just how could this day get any worse?!" Chrysalis exclaimed.
