My Little Pony: Crafting Is Magic

“Uh, Twilight?”

“Huh? Spike you’re not supposed to-AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!”

“AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!”

Both Twilight and Spike jumped back after seeing themselves in a new body style.

“Spike. What happened to you?!”

“What happened to me?! Look at you! You’re all… blocky.”

“So are you. Actually, everything around us is all cubic.”

There was a bit of silence between the two. Spike was observing the blocky habitat. “Where are we?”

“I don’t know,” Twilight said as she put her left hoof, er, arm through the Crystal Mirror which was now in a square shape. “It must serve as the gateway back to Equestria.” Twilight then removed her arm from the mirror. “We need to find my crown as soon as possible and get back there.” Twilight then got on all fours. Spike gave her a confused look.

“Uh Spike? Did you not hear me last time? We have to get my crown back.”

“Well yeah, but you and I are the exact height. If I ride on your back, I’d crush you since you won’t be able to carry my weight. You’re gonna have to find your crown by walking like this.”

“Oh… yeah.” Twilight stood on her two hind legs, which were now just her legs, and instantly started flopping around.

“Whooooa. WHOOOOOOA. AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!” Twilight almost fell on her back but was luckily caught by Spike.

“You okay?”

“Yeah. Thanks.”

“Don’t worry. You’ll get used to it.”

“I don’t know. This is a completely new body style for me. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to walk properly in time.”

“Well, I could teach you.”

“Really?”

Spike shook his head ‘yes’.

“Aw, Thanks Spike.”

***

Few minutes of training later, Twilight could now walk on two legs. However, the two had been transferred in the middle of a forest. There were no houses or buildings anywhere.

“Oh, I’m really sorry. I-I just found it, and, and I thought I should keep it until its rightful owner came to find it. I didn’t know you had dropped it.”

“Did you hear that Spike?”

“Yeah. It sounds like that voice is farther in those trees.”

The two headed farther into the forest and saw what looked like two… living beings. One of them was an anthropomorphic, cubed yellow pegasus with pink hair, back against a tree. There was something in her hands. It looked like Twilight’s crown. The other pony had an amber-colored body with a red and yellow mane. It was Sunset. She was the one facing the pegasus.

“Well, I did and was about to get it before you swooped in and ruined everything.”

Twilight and Spike were surprised by the bacon-haired pony’s choice of words.

“You shouldn’t pick up things that don’t belong to you,” the amber pony added.

“It doesn’t really belong to you either.”

“ExCUSE ME!?!” The amber unicorn shouted as she pinned the pegasus to the tree, putting her arms around the trunk.

“Nothing…” the pegasus whimpered as she slid down to the floor.

Twilight and Spike were crossed as to what they just witnessed. The pegasus had done nothing wrong and Sunset is scolding her for absolutely no reason.

“That’s what I thought.” Sunset swiped the crown of the poor pegasus’ hands. “It’s as good as mine and you know it! You really are pathetic! It’s no wonder all your friends are just stray animals.”

Hearing that comment was the last straw. Spike and Twilight came out from hiding behind the trees to confront the unicorn.

“How dare you speak to her that way,” Twilight started.

Sunset turned her head to see where that remark came from. “What did you just say?”

The two started walking up to each other, Spike being at Twilight’s side.

“I said, how dare you SPEAK to her that way!” Twilight repeated.

The two then stared at each other for a few seconds. Sunset made an evil smirk. “You must be new around here,” she said, flicking Twilight’s chin upwards. “I can speak to anypony, any way I want.” Sunset walked out of the forest until nopony could see her.

“I can’t believe you did that,” the pegasus said as she stood up.

“I couldn’t just stand there and let her talk to you that way,” said Twilight.

“Well, it’s just that, nobody ever stands up to-”

“Sunset Shimmer?” Twilight finished.

“You’ve heard of her?”

“Sort of.”

“I don’t think I’ve seen you around before. Who are you two?”

“My name is Twilight, and this is my friend, Spike.”

“I’m… Fluttershy,” the pegasus whispered.

“Sorry. What was that? I couldn’t hear you.”

“Fluttershy!!” The pegasus repeated but a little louder.

“It sounds like you’re saying “Fluttershy”, but how could that-”

“Uh, Twilight,” Spike interrupted. “Can I talk to you for a little bit? In private?”

“Sure. Fluttershy, we’ll be right back.” The two then walked behind a tree.

“I think I know why there is a Fluttershy here,” said Spike. “Princess Celestia said the others couldn’t come here since she said it could ‘upset the balance of this world’. So if Fluttershy came here, there would be two Fluttershy’s here.”

“Well that would make sense. Anyways, I need to talk to her about my crown. Sunset Shimmer walked away with it.”

The two walked out from the free and headed back to Fluttershy.

“Sorry about that. Now that me and Spike are finished, is it okay if I can ask you something?”

“Sure.”

“Okay, so Sunset Shimmer said you picked up something. Something that belonged to her. It wasn’t a crown was it?”

“How did you know?”

“Uh, lucky guess?” Twilight said anxiously. “If I may ask, how did you get your hands on it?”

“Well, I was sitting next to what looked like a mirror, relaxing with my pet bunny, Angel. While I was minding my own business, something came through the mirror and hit me in the head. I don’t know how it got here, but I didn’t want anything to happen to it so I kept hold of it until its owner came looking for it, and we all know how that went.”

Spike and Twilight felt a little bit of sadness after Fluttershy had finished that sentence. Suddenly, a little bunny came out from behind Fluttershy and laid down on her lap.

“Aw. Thanks Angel.” Fluttershy then hugged the little bunny. Twilight and Spike grew a little smile on their faces. “Well, I should be going now. See you two later.”
