Chapter 3: An Eye for an Eye, a Tooth for a Fang

Pinkie Pie had been dealing with the mess for two hours. Jerry, of course, tried to help her in any way he could, since he and Tom had caused the mess. But that's the official version, but the unofficial version, which Jerry came up within five seconds, was that Tom himself had started the massacre and wanted to disturb the filly, but Gummy the crocodile, as the mouse found out, had saved the mistress in time. Pinkie wasn't mad at Jerry, but she was unhappy that this mess had happened under her nose. Fortunately Mr. and Mrs. Cakey and the children had gone to Canterlot, or else Pinkie Pie would have had to try very hard to make the apology alone suffice. In the end, an order was restored: tables restored, furniture stitched or re-stitched as far as possible, sweets re-stitched, utensils put in their places, and holes in the walls and floor were patched. Now Pinkie Pie could rest. Jerry was tired, too, for he had not been idle.

Phew!" Pinkie wiped the sweat from her head. - Well, that was very reassuring.

Pinkie looked at her watch and it showed three o'clock in the afternoon. The pink pony concluded that she had done a pretty good job, and even embellished it somewhere. And then she saw Jerry tugging at her tail, which was hungry.

"Oh, how silly of me," Pinkie remembered. "I didn't even feed you like I said I would. Come on, I'll get you some cheese."

Jerry really wanted cheese, so he ran patiently after the party pony, and after a few seconds, he climbed onto the table himself. Pinkie pulled a plate of cheese out of the fridge, and the mouse almost had his eyes on his forehead. Even in other worlds, there were such delights as this delicious cheese. Pinkie cut off a piece of yellow sweetness and with her teeth gave it to the mouse, he took the gift and began a wonderful cheese meal. When he'd had enough to eat, Jerry thanked Pinkie for the treat and headed for the exit.

"Where are you going?" Pinkie asked. "Are you going after Tom? I'm coming with you! You'll get lost somewhere else."

Pinkie crouched down so that Jerry could sit on her, and he decided to take advantage of the opportunity. During the whole walk, Jerry became very friendly with this pink pony, and she happily introduced him to Equestria and its contents. In fact, she's fun and kind, and that's something the mouse appreciated. A few minutes later, Pinkie and Jerry on his back were approaching the center of town and on the way, they met the Cutie Mark Crusaders. They were roller-skating, and they were doing very well.

"Hi Pinkie Pie!" The filles cheered.

"Hi, girls! Do you know who it is with me?"

"Jerry!" Apple Bloom saw a familiar mouse. "Hi!"

The mouse waved his paw.

"Where's Tom?"Sweetie asked Belle.

He's the one we're going to look for." Pinkie answered. "He's been making a mess in Sugarcube Corner, but I just want to make him realize it's no good to hurt the little ones."

"Aren't you two friends?" Scootaloo asked.

Jerry shook his head.

"So I was wrong..." said Sweetie Belle.

"But that's okay!" Pinkie exclaimed. "They can be friends! Especially now they can be friends. You can't, can you?"

Jerry shook his head slowly, looking straight into the mare's eyes, and she responded with a frown that made him change his mind.

"That's fine." Pinkie said. "And what are you girls doing?"

"We were told by our sisters to be careful because a cat and a mouse were roaming all over Ponyville and doing horrible things, but that was Applejack's description." Apple Bloom responded. "We know what they say about Tom and Jerry, but we don't tell them on purpose."

"Why is that?" Pinkie asked perplexedly. "They're your sisters."

"Because it's not Tom and Jerry's fault!" Apple Bloom replied. "They were just hungry, so they took six apples and cider. They weren't going to wait for hunger to starve them out."

Jerry had vague feelings about the whole thing, but practically, it wasn't him who provoked the mares into this war. Jerry was defensive, Tom himself, and Applejack left dazed from her head and Rainbow Dash's wings were bruised. It seemed to the mouse, though, as if he was involved in this anyway, and so he indulged in some reflection. But they were interrupted by the darker part of his soul, the "Imp." It looked like Jerry, but with a pointed tail, sharp fangs, devilish appearance, and a trident in its paw.

"Well, what are you thinking about, please tell me?" The Imp asked. "You make intrigues to that cat every day, so go on blaming it on him! It's not your fault, is it?:"

At that moment, however, Jerry's "Conscience" also appeared, who was dressed in a white tunic, with wings on her back and a halo on her head, and a lyre in her paw.

"No, Jerry!" Conscience intervened. "Just because you had nothing to do with it doesn't mean you have to blame someone else! You and that cat are in the same boat now, and you should be sailing it together!"

"Who are you listening to? The stupid clown in the dress?" The Imp asked, pointing his trident at his neighbor.

" Just look at you, you brute!" answered Conscience. "You're trying to teach that boy bad things"!

"What are you talking about? You can teach him good things. You and I work the same, and we get paid the same! I get the pain of souls, and you get the singing of souls."

"Don't try to make a fool of me, you brat!" Conscience threatened her adversary. "We don't get paid at all! My task is to ensure that the mouse does not regret the bad things, and even more so, does not commit them, and you want him at every step to trip the cat, set a mousetrap, threw a metal iron..."

"And as you can see, I'm good at it! Bes interrupted the rival."

"Jerry, be reasonable! It's not your fault, but you mustn't blame everything on Tom. Of course, these ponies are not happy to see you, but they will understand you if you do not go along with this rascal!" Conscience pointed at the Imp.

"Yeah, we're already getting personal. All right, fine. Jerry, take my advice: don't listen to this weak-willed fairy! And what would happen if you understood and forgave him? Do you think he'll pat you on the head? I don't think so. He'll kick you once and you'll be a good pancake. Well, see for yourself!" Then the Imp and Conscience disappeared in a cloud of red and blue smoke.

Jerry now realized that it wasn't his fault that the ponies were attacking them like that now, just that Tom could be said to have forced the mouse to play defensively. He decided that as soon as he met Rainbow Dash, he would apologize to her for the poke in the eye. And then he would try to deal with the cat, too.

"Well, Jerry? Shall we go?" Pinkie asked.

He nodded in agreement, and after saying goodbye to the mares, the pony and mouse headed for Twilight Sparkle's library. Since at least she didn't know about the feud between the ponies and these animals, at least that's what they thought.

Meanwhile, Twilight was chasing Tom, who was covering himself everywhere he could. She used magic to launch things, like an umbrella, which the cat caught with his mouth, swallowed, and his belly got wider because the umbrella opened. Twilight marveled at the physiology of this cat, and Tom marveled at the magic the unicorn used against it. It was also a revelation to Twilight that magic didn't work on the cat. That is, she tried to telekinesis him by the tail, but the magic didn't cling to him. She was also able to get her hands on the cat's body, but the projectile reflected smoothly off the cat's body and flew back at her. Twilight ended up looking like a black pony.

Spike, on the other hand, watched the chaos with interest, chewing on his jewels and laughing insanely as he watched this battle. Twilight silenced Spike several times with a blow to the head with a book, then went back to chasing after Tom. He ran off to the kitchen, and now he fell into immediate contemplation of how to get away from that pony. But the only way out of the house was actually the exit itself, and the windows were closed. The cat tried to open them but to no avail. The unicorn was approaching the kitchen, and then Tom remembered a good old trick... He found a lot of soap on the shelf, and he wanted to see how it would work on the pony. The cat poured out a bucket of water, but this pile of soap right by the doorway, and pressed himself against the wall. Twilight ran into the kitchen, but her hooves fell right on top of the bars of soap and Mare flew forward at high speed, barely keeping her balance.

Then a collision with the sink awaited her. Tom laughed, in his usual style: he laughed loudly and slammed his palm against his knee. Twilight tried to get out of the trap but inadvertently opened the hot water. With a wild howl, the pony jumped out of the sink, destroying the plumbing in the process. It didn't have to hurt. Twilight was now in a rage; she wanted to torture the gray cat very badly. Just as painful as she was now in chasing him. Tearing off a piece of pipe from an already "dead" plumbing fixture, the pony quickly went on the attack. Tom smelled something burning, hid his head under his neck to keep the pipe out, and then made a run for it, completely unaware of where he was going. Twilight was even more surprised by this cat's physiology: he hid his head under his neck! This is incredible, even from a logical point of view. Although the purple unicorn didn't care right now, because she really wanted to show the cat his place. It ran blindly around the kitchen, and then Twilight remembered a law of physics.

After getting out of the water, the unicorn cast a lightning spell from her horn, and now the cat was being pierced by a huge amount of current going through it. Except Twilight was very inattentive, as the plumbing, again, was broken, the water kept creeping up on the pony and when she got close, she was experiencing the current moving through her body on herself. Spike finally stopped watching this pony and cat race, so he grabbed a wooden plank and pulled the pony out of the electric roundup. The mare was all convulsed and Tom crumbled like ashes, leaving behind his eyes... The cat scooped himself up with a dustpan and broom and was about to run away, but when he saw Twilight lying there without feeling, he immediately went over to her. He couldn't tell if she was alive or not, and Spike looked on silently. Tom tilted his head closer to Twilight's heart when suddenly...

"I'M GOING TO OBLITERATE YOU RECKLESS CAT!" Twlight screamed as she was in fury. "WHY... CAN'T... YOU... JUST... SIT... STILL!!!"

Suddenly Twilight got into a fight with Tom. In a pile of dust and gray clouds, the filly beat the cat. Once with a brick to the head, a second time with a metal bat, a third time with a book, and a fourth time with a soft toy that made a loud squeaking sound. Tom tried to get away from the filly, but she wouldn't let him go so easily. Spike knew Twilight was pretending, he just played along this time. The cat got cocky, and during the fight, he clawed at the mare's croup and bit it. From the pain, it flew up into the ceiling and head-butted it. Tom ran to the door again, but the angry unicorn closed the door with a closet. And beaming in front of Tom, she threatened him with a hoof. Her mane was disheveled, her pupils constricted, and a truly frightening smile on her face.

"Oh... oh no, kitty..." said Twilight stammering and with a trembling voice. "You can't run away from me... And you'll have to answer for your bitten croup... Hee-hee!"

Spike knew it was bad, so he preferred to flee to the second floor. And Tom was getting ready for something very unkind. Twilight attacked Tom with a quick jerk, and the beating continued. Tom's screams and cries were impossible not to hear, and the rumble of various furniture, books, and shelves reverberated throughout the house. The library was now a war zone...

Twenty minutes passed...

Pinkie and Jerry were already approaching Twilight's library, and soon they heard a suspicious rumble and someone's cries of pain. Jerry wouldn't mistake them for anyone else's. Mousey jumped off his pony and ran toward the door, Pinkie followed him. The door was barricaded on the other side and then they had to go the other way. Jerry pointed to the upstairs window.

"Okey-dokey-Lokey, Jerry!" Pinkie agreed to the mouse's suggestion.

Tom was all battered, bruised, and abrasions and tied to the table and tried to get out, but in vain. And Twilight wandered around the table, wondering how she could torture the cat. And she came up with an idea... She took a pair of tweezers and hooked the cat's whiskers with them. With a quick flick, she pulled the whisker out, giving the cat a sea of discomfort. Then the unicorn thought to squeak a little in front of the cat's ears. To do this she took out a chalkboard and began to squeak loudly on the chalkboard. Tom couldn't bear to listen to that disgusting squeak, so he began praying to the cat God to condescend to the poor mortal. Twilight prepared another torture for the cat: the mare took out a powerful sledgehammer and hit the cat very hard in the groin area, causing it to cry out in a very thin voice and stretch its tongue to a very unprecedented length. This was Twilight's revenge for the croupy bite. Spike didn't dare go out to the first floor, but when he saw Pinkie and some mice, he reacted immediately.

"Pinkie, save Tom! Twilight's going to torture him!" Spike pleaded.

"Don't be afraid Spike! Pinkie and Jerry are on their way to rescue the kitties!" Pinkie exclaimed.

The party pony and the mouse went down to the first floor, where the unicorn continued to taunt the cat. She was now playing a tune out of his whiskers, combining it with the pinching of his ears. Jerry was a little pleased that payback had come for the cat, but now this pony had to be stopped as she was going a bit too far, and the mouse had a plan. He called Pinkie in for a whisper.

"But don't you talk?" Pinkie wondered.

To which Jerry shook his head, but he asked her to come over anyway. Pinkie listened to the plan, and winked at the mouse with a smile. Then she walked over to the unicorn and started talking:

"Hey, Twilight!” greeted Pinke.

"Oh, hello Pinkie Pie!" Twilight greeted her in the same shaky voice with her one eye twiching. "How did you get here?"

"Climbed in through the window. And what do you do here?" Pinkie asked cheerfully.

"Teaching a cat to think," said Twilight, pulling another whisker out of the cat's head.

"You know, I brought some cherry cake, but it's outside. Could you put that big cabinet away?"

"Uh... Yeah, I'll do that. And you keep an eye on that cat, okay?"

With those words, Twilight went to the door and picked up that cabinet that was blocking the exit. And when she came back, she saw two cups of tea next to the table.

"What is it, Pinkie." Twilight asked.

"It's just tea." Pinkie replied. "You want some? I brought cookies too!"

"Yes, you can." Twilight said, smelling the sweet aroma of the tea.

After drinking this wonderful tea and eating sweet cookies, suddenly the purple pony felt weak, lethargic, and tired. She was very sleepy, and on top of that, someone was singing her a lullaby. It was Jerry, who quietly jumped on top of Twilight's head and began to sing a lullaby right into her ear. Such a soft, gentle, and pleasant song made the unicorn yawn and then rattled off to sleep. Tom breathed a sigh of relief and asked to be released.

"And the magic word?" Pinkie asked.

Tom squinted at the unicorn. And Jerry looked at the unicorn with confusion, too.

"Well, let's just say you said please."

Twilight slept peacefully on her bed and dreamt of counting every paradise that flew back to the Eternal Forest. Tom thanked the pony and the mouse from the bottom of his heart. And Spike was calm that Twilight was asleep. After all, she had been up all day and night. The time was already five o'clock in the evening.

"All's well that ends well," said Pinkie.

However, there was a loud bang on the door outside. And when the pink pony, cat, and mouse came downstairs there were four very "kind" ponies waiting for them. Tom and Jerry swallowed, but Pinkie decided to say hello:

"Hi, girls! How's it going?"

"Pinkie..." Rainbow began. "Would you step aside, please?"

"We're having a... separate conversation with these two..." Applejack continued.

"Except for me! I'm not interested in these two!" Rarity protested.

"But how I want to "fondle" them... "stroke"... "feed"..." Fluttershy finished.

After a second of silence, the three swooped down on the cat and the mouse, and an indiscriminate fight ensued. A little while later, Tom and Jerry calmly emerged from the still ongoing battle, and as they shook off the dust, and waved a bye at Pinkie, they quickly raced toward the exit. Suddenly, the fight stopped, and now Rainbow and Applejack were holding each other's chests with one hoof while the other wanted to strike, and Fluttershy was holding three tails with her teeth: her own and her friends. Quickly assembled, they set off in pursuit of the villains.

Tom and Jerry headed the other way from the library, and they ran very fast and deftly. After a while, they reached the train station where the trains were leaving. Tom and Jerry didn't have any money, so they decided to do something simpler: get on the roof of the train as it was leaving. A few minutes later, the trio of vigilantes began to run up, but the train was already leaving the station when they approached. The cat and mouse were sitting on the roof of the train, waving to their pursuers, and Tom was wagging his face at them.

"Darn that cat and mouse" Applejack scolded.

"They're lucky they got away... If my wings hadn't hurt, I would have caught up with them!" Rainbow growled.

"We'll catch up with them..." Fluttershy said, sternly. "They're on their way to Canterlot. We'll catch up with them later, when Twilight is still awake. By the way, I knew she was hiding that cat. Now she knows what the troublemakers are, too!"

"That's the first time you've ever said that about "cute" animals, Fluttershy." Rainbow remarked.

"And far from the last..." Fluttershy admitted.

Chapter 4: So they found trouble on their tails...

Tom and Jerry rode on the roof of the train for an hour and a half to Canterlot, but they were terribly hungry, so they decided to team up again to get food on the train. The difficulty was that the cat and the mouse were stowaways on the train, and if they were caught by the train driver, the conductor, or anyone else, they would be thrown out. So, for now, Jerry will have to deal with his prey alone.

Of course, it's dangerous to pull this stunt on a train, but there's nothing to be done now. Better to make an extra visit to the sky than to wait to be taken to that sky. Jerry latched onto Tom's tail like a crane with a hook, and he lowered the mouse to the open window. Making sure no one could see, Jerry quickly snuck under the seats. His stomach was rumbling violently, and so the mouse was anxious to hurry, and apparently, even that piece of cheese from Pinkie Pie wasn't enough. Jerry watched the ponies in the carriage, all sitting and chatting about their own things. But then he noticed the pony passing by with a cart with different salads and other snacks on it. The little mouse quickly jumped under the lower table with the dishes and now he thought he had to go either to the kitchen or to the buffet. And he wasn't mistaken, for there were baking scrumptious pies and flatbreads filled with something delicious. Now Jerry had to figure out how to give the booty to Tom. The little mouse began to think of a plan...

A few minutes later...

An emergency stop was announced on the train, because judging by the siren, it was on fire. Even though it wasn't really on fire, the train still had to be stopped. After the stop, all the ponies got off the train for a roll call. Everyone was outraged at what had happened.

"How is it that the train wasn't on fire if the siren was so loud?" One of the colts said.

And in fact, it was a distraction by the mouse, who had turned on that siren just so Tom could get into the buffet without a problem. The duo stuffed the bag nonstop, passing on a couple of pies that had berries and other fruit and such goodies. Tom wanted something meat or fish, but ponies hardly do fish, so the cat forgot even that. And then it turned out that not all the ponies got off the train, for one mint-green unicorn, with a green with white mane and tail, and a lyre mark on her croup, who had been in the dining car all this time, apparently was in no great hurry to get off the train, though she was just about to. Tom and Jerry hadn't realized the danger, so she saw the cat and mouse sorting through someone else's goods. She cried out when she saw the robbery and immediately ran for the exit.

Tom and Jerry immediately began to get out of the train through the window with all the loot. The cat got out, but Jerry was trapped in the train - the windows were closed with metal blinds. Then the mouse ran to the back of the train, where he could get out. Luckily, he made it before the ponies got back on the train. After making sure no one was in sight, Jerry climbed onto the roof of the train. Tom had already had a snack, of course, leaving his partner as well. Finally, it was okay to eat, after all the nerve-wracking. As dinner was being served, the voice of the pony who had spotted the couple was heard and was now trying to prove that she had seen the cat and mouse. Tom and Jerry decided with one ear to listen to what was being said:

"I swear to you, even for being right I would go against Nightmare Moon, I saw a cat and a mouse stealing food here!" the mare.

"Lyra Hartstrings!" the stallion's voice was heard. "You were a nuisance to us with your tales of humans, and now you're telling us about upright animals who skillfully steal our pastries? Why are you so eager to sink even lower in our eyes?"

"It's not about humans now, it's about animals that look like humans!" - Lyra returned to the subject. "I saw them with my own eyes! Or do you think I stole it all!"

"And why shouldn't it be you?" The stallion asked a counter-question. Tom and Jerry realized that it was the conductor and that the conversation was one-on-one.

Now you are far wrong! - Threatened a hoof Lyra. - Why do you think so?
Because you got off the train last, five minutes after everybody else did. So I have a very logical reason to believe that you stole it all! - the conductor expounded.

"How dare you accuse me of that!" Lyra was indignant and poked the conductor in the nose. "I would never steal!"

The hungry duo was getting impatient to hear the mare's false arguments. And stealing from others was no business at all. So Jerry asked Tom to take him down to the window for a second.

"Whatever you think, you can't accuse me of that!" Lyra continued to protest. "I'm not touchy, of course, but here's the thing-" She interrupted her conversation as she saw the same mouse through the window, with a pie in his paw. He gestured for the pony to be quieter.

"What was it you wanted to tell me, miss?" the conductor asked, with a smirk on his face.

After a few seconds, he felt someone poke him in the back of the head. He turned around and got a huge pie in the face. Jerry immediately disappeared back upstairs, and the unicorn didn't understand why this mouse was there again. It didn't matter, though, as all the cream from the pie began to fall to the floor, and then the berry filling went. Lira couldn't help laughing at the conductor, and the conductor didn't like it.

"What do you say now, sir?" Lyra asked with a satisfied look on her face. "Do you think I threw that pie at you?"

"I'm laughing now, miss!" The conductor barked sarcastically. "Ugh! But that doesn't exonerate you, and I'll notify the guard right away.

And at that moment a strange cat looked out of the window, and he waggled his face at the conductor. The stallion quickly poked his head out to see what was going on, but he saw no one on the roof, and at that moment a mouse was sitting on Lyra's head, and he too was making faces at the stallion. Confused, the conductor fell through the window and crashed his head into the floor. After a couple of seconds, there was a loud laugh from the pony, and a few more seconds later, the conductor ran in again, but the mouse was gone.

Where?!" shouted the stallion. "Where is he?"

"Who is he?" Lyra asked in feigned surprise.

"A Mouse! He was just standing on your head showing me his muzzle!"

"There was no mouse on my head." said Lyra. "Did you try playing tricks on my head?"

"Why are you playing dumb now?" The stallion asked. "You were just convincing me about the cat, the mouse, that they stole food from the cupboard..."

But you do not believe me, do you? So I'm not going to tell you anything." Lyra replied, turning away. "You also suspect me of everything."

"Alright, alright!" the conductor surrendered. - "You are free to go, but I don't want to hear another word from you about those mice and cats!"

"As you wish." With these words, Lyra retired to her carriage.

Although in fact, she hid the mouse in her mane, though he was not very comfortable and was about to sneeze. Fortunately for him, this did not happen. Lyra put the mouse on the window, and Tom showed up, too.

"Thanks, guys," Lyra said. "I thought you would run away like that, but no, you came back and helped. I understand you're hungry, and I didn't think about that until later. I wanted to tell you about you, but instead, I almost became a thief myself by mistake. Thank you very much. May I ask your name, please?"

Tom and Jerry couldn't answer, but Lyra gave them a quill and a piece of paper. Jerry introduced himself and Tom.

"Tom and Jerry? You look a lot like human beings. Maybe because you walk on two legs, or maybe you have the same habits..."

Jerry rounded his eyes and said, "Well... maybe..."

"Anyway, I'm very happy for you. And here's one for you, Jerry, from me." Lyra magically gave the mouse a piece of cheese. So, be careful and stay safe!"

After waving a paw, Tom and Jerry returned to the roof of the train, and Lyra was pleased with this familiarity. Oh, and also pleased with their honesty, and conscience, for their deed. And Tom and Jerry were delighted with their new acquaintance. They have another friend from this world. Gradually the cat and mouse felt proud of how good they were... Of course, just that they do not have to worry about the three ponies eager to rip them to shreds.

A few hours later, and by ten p.m. to be exact, the cat and mouse finally reached Canterlot. The town looked quite impressive and luxurious. The ponies here were still wandering around in dresses and costumes, obviously resembling famous personalities. And ahead of them stood a majestic castle. Tom and Jerry had speculated during the trip about how they could return home to their world, but they had not come to a consensus. So they could only accept the fact that they might have to stay here for a long time. Now they had to find a place to sleep.

Right now the duo wasn't in the mood for bullying and name-calling, and they weren't in the mood for a chase. Then Tom and Jerry decided to try a simple tactic - walk through town. Maybe some of the ponies would pay attention to the rogues, and let them stay overnight. However, although the ponies looked at the cat and mouse with surprise, none of them were going to let them into their house. After half an hour, Tom and Jerry realized that it was no use, then they decided to settle down in one of the nooks. Tom settled down on an old and tattered mattress and a torn blanket, and Jerry settled down next to the cat, he's warm after all. It was uncomfortable, but there was no choice, so the couple tried to fall asleep as quickly as possible...

Tom opened his eyes and saw stallions with wings in golden armor and spears in their hooves surrounding him. It was still night, but even so, it was the unicorn stallion that stood out best, with his blue and turquoise mane and tail, and his shield couture stamped with a pink six-pointed star and three stars above it. He looked very stern and looked at Tom as if he wanted to make a hat out of the cat. The stallion grabbed the cat's chest with his hoof and pulled him so that he was looking right in his face.

"Are you a cat named Tom?" The stallion asked.

To which Tom nodded, though he wanted to take it out on Jerry by now, that would have been silly, since the question sounded, "a cat named Tom."

"Shining Armor... Former Captain of the Royal guard... Ruler of the Crystal Empire... And the brother of Twilight Sparkle..." the stallion introduced himself.

Now the cat got a little scared because if an older brother talks to you about an offended younger sister, it is very bad for the offended. And the title of big brother made Tom even more afraid. Jerry was already awake and he saw Tom being held by some stallion. He immediately got up and tried to ask what was going on.

"It's partly up to you, mouse, but I'm having a private conversation with this lump of wool right now," Shining replied, looking at the mouse.

But Jerry did not understand what it was all about, so he climbed on Tom's head and with a frown demanded to know what Tom had done wrong.

"You mean you don't know?" Shining was surprised. - I'll explain everything. This cat had fought with my sister, for reasons I don't yet understand. She describes the fight from beginning to end, right up to the moment when he..." At this point, some of the guards chuckled. "I see who-the pony-wants to stand up?!" After that question, everyone stood still. "Well, he bit my sister's croup..." but there was another giggle, and this time louder than before, but the unicorn continued. "And how it flew up and through the ceiling of the house..."

Now the guards were laughing, imagining the hilarity. Then Shining hit one of the guards in the head with his hoof, knocking him out. "Anybody else wants any more niponi? Nice. And now, Tom... I'm going to bring you to my chambers as a very attractive trophy, and I'm going to inform Twilight to turn you to stone, once she and her friends bring the Elements of Harmony."

Jerry didn't want to let Tom get into the trouble, especially since Tom wasn't the first to start it, as the little mouse thought. But Tom pointed somewhere in the sky for some reason and everyone turned away to look, including Shining. But when he turned back, the cat was gone, as was the mouse.

"GUARDS! GET THEM!" Shining yelled.

Tom, with Jerry in his paw, tried to navigate the town, but there were different roads everywhere, so he chose the road to the castle. But not because it was the right way, but because the guards were on different sides, and where one could hide was the million-dollar question. The cat decided to show wonders of acrobatics, clinging to poles and jumping from pole to pole. Shining made the same discovery as his sister - no magic working on the cat and mouse. Jerry wasn't interested in the stallion, though; it was Tom he wanted. The cat deftly caught pots of flowers and shot them at the flying pursuers, while the mouse clung tightly to his friend so he wouldn't fall. After several jumps on the poles, Tom finally came down to the ground, precisely falling on one of the hapless guards. And then a sword whistled over the cat's head, which sliced a couple of hairs off the top of his head. It appeared that Shining had already threatened the cat with his sword, but he too had pulled out a small metal bar and was now ready to fight.

Do you think you can fight? - Shining asked, holding the sword with magic and twirling it a couple of times. - Well, let's find out.

Shining tried to hit the cat as hard as he could, but the cat either blocked the blow or ducked so that Shining would then get an extra punch, like a frying pan on the table. It wasn't easy for Tom to block those blows, though, since he didn't know how to fight as well as his opponent. Jerry was still hanging on to Tom and trying not to get caught. And the guards watched the fight, for it was there, once captain's, business. The fight was now taking place on a wooden bridge. Tom was getting tired of defending himself, but he didn't want to give up either, and besides, he wished he could talk, then he would have told this brother it was self-defense. Shining threw blow after blow, but the cat, though barely able to do so, continued to block the blows. Finally, the stallion struck a stabbing blow, and it went through Tom's chest. He looked at the stallion with a sad face, and Jerry was shocked. Slowly the cat with the sword in his chest began to walk to the edge of the bridge, and with a heavy groan, he stood on the edge. However... it was strange that no blood was flowing from the cat! Tom had his sword in his armpit and pulled it out to tease the stallion. The cat threw the sword down, and he and the mouse ran to the castle.

“You Tretrist Brat!” threw Shining in his wake. “You decided to make an idiot out of me!” He who laughs last laughs! It's not so easy to laugh without teeth, though!"

Tom and Jerry ran down the huge corridor of the castle. The guards in the castle were also trying to catch the strangers, so they had to be clever. In one of the openings, the cat and mouse found themselves between two fires on one side, the two guards, and Shining on the other. And as the danger approached, the pair jumped up, causing the chasers to crash into each other. The couple rushed into the nearest of the openings, and now, Tom and Jerry were in a huge hall with a stage. There were also various ponies, colors, colors of colors, colors of colors, and things. On the stage, a gray pony with a dark gray mane and tail, with the couture mark of a violin key, was playing the cello. It would have been easy to get lost in the crowd here, but somehow not, because the ponies looked at the cat and mouse with a certain amount of disgust. Both were outraged by this reaction from the ponies, and so they immediately took the stage.

Taking the indignant cellist aside, Tom sat down at the piano while Jerry made a violin out of a couple of unnecessary strings and splinters. Meanwhile, the guards still couldn't figure out where the fugitives might have gone, but then they heard the piano and violin playing too briskly. And it was coming from the hall with the guests. Shining Armor was already there and his jaw dropped when he saw the cat playing the piano and the mouse playing the violin. And the cello pony got a taste of the music the pair were playing and decided to join in the game. Now the three of them were performing this amazing musical act. The music was so beautiful and so energetic that some ponies even danced to it. Shining got tired of listening to it, and so he immediately went to the stage.

Tom immediately noticed the approaching foe, but he didn't stop playing. And when the stallion got up on the stage, he drew his iron scepter to strike, but Tom dodged it, and the scepter hit one of the keys, and the musician still did not stop playing, nor did Jerry and the cellist, for that matter. Tom began to play more tense music, forcing the audience into the situation, and the violinist and cellist followed the leader. Then Shining struck with a swing, but the cat ducked and put a cylindrical pole under the stallion's feet, causing him to lose his sense of balance and fall off the stage onto the table with the treats. Out of the ambush, the unicorn had a shoulder-length tablecloth draped over it, vermicelli dangling from its head, and the stallion's mouth had been repainted, thanks to tomatoes and pie cream.

In short, he now looked like a filly. Everyone in the audience couldn't contain their laughter, and they certainly couldn't help spewing punch out of their mouths, from the stream of comedy that was now overwhelming them. Jerry played some gentle music and Tom whistled like some cat. Shining boiled over, from such humiliation, and two seconds later, still in "dress-up," he approached the pesky cat, who continued to play his tune.

"Are you even a stud or a coward?!" Shining asked.

"Does a cat count for an answer?" The cheerful-faced cat pulled out an answer sign.

To which all the ponies laughed again.

"Are you laughing?" Shining asked, already unrestrained.

"Almost..." Tom suddenly slapped a pie in Shining's face. "Now it's funny!"

The ponies laughed again, even one stallion was carried off on a stretcher by the doctors. They began to die laughing, most likely because of the mockery going on at whoever... Or someone had blabbed about the bitten croup of the ruler of the Crystal Empire's sister. Shining's slimmer had reached a critical point, and Tom was not in the least bit stressed by this anger. Shining immediately took one curtain and covered the cat with it, then quickly ran with that curtain to the highest part of the castle. In a few seconds, the load was dropped from a great height. The stallion was catching his breath, as he was very tired from running to the top... And next to him stood Tom, staring at the falling curtain with the load. Shining moved his eyes to the cat.

"That's... cat... is... nasty, isn't it?"

Tom nodded in agreement and even frowned at the still falling curtain with the cat. The stallion averted his eyes to watch the curtain fall, but then he saw it turn around...and the cat wasn't there. Then he darted his eyes toward his companion, and he waved his paw and fingers. Shining became clear about himself: he is a donkey. The unicorn tried to strike the cat with his hoof, but the latter used his claws to calmly descend to the lower floors. And the stallion thought he was a spider pony... Can I tell you what happened next? Can you guess? Anyway... Shining went into a free fall, getting hit by hanging poles. The last blow came in a very "valuable" place for any stallion. Biting his lip, the unfortunate unicorn squeaked only one thing.

"Mommy..." Shining squeaked.

And then he continued his free flight. Finally, Tom descended to a safe point, and strangely enough, Jerry was with him the whole time! He just appeared from behind him! How so is a mystery of nature? There was a double glass door in front of them. Slowly the cat and mouse went in, and it looked like someone's chambers. Now the couple had to get out of them somehow, quietly and discreetly. Jerry looked with one eye at the sleeping mare and this one was a huge white mare, more like a horse because of her size. Her mane and tail were multicolored and for some reason, they fluttered by themselves as if the wind was always blowing in them. On the mare's rump was a picture of the sun. Tom and Jerry knew it was best not to wake this mare and hurried to the exit when suddenly the guards burst in, and the couple had no choice but to put their paws up. The mare groaned on the bed, and it was clear from her voice that she was not pleased with the interruption of her sleep.

"I told you to come and see me with the cat and mouse in the morning! I am asleep..." the mare asked and tried to sleep again.

"But Your Highness, they are in your chambers now!" said one of the guards.

" Well, take them away, and... take them to some room... Let them sleep... Now please... go away all the ponies...

"But Princess Celestia..." The guard wanted to object again, but the mare interrupted.

"I say it again: Go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go! And leave me alone! All-day long Twilight Sparkle has been writing to me about those two... And Shining Armor has been all over my head... *phew* And now I want..." There was a loud snore after that.

A few minutes later, Tom and Jerry found themselves in a very luxurious room, cozy and clean. The duo was surprised that Princess Celestia didn't kill them, though she should have, for disturbing their sleep. And here was a whole room with all the comforts of home. She had a whole room with all the comforts of home.

But you couldn't say that about Shining, for he'd suffered more humiliation all day than he'd ever dreamed of. He was now lying in a hospital room, with a cast on his front hoof, a black eye, and a cold compress in a very painful area. At that second, Nurse Redheart came up to him.

"Is there anything you want, Your Highness?" Nurse Redheart said.

"If I may... cold water..." answered Shining in the same thin, squeaky voice.

The nurse giggled, but with a stern look from Shining she calmed down. The low tone of Shining's voice made everyone in the room laugh, and now the stallion had no choice but to endure.

"I'll get you, you gray/blueish cat. I'll pluck your ears out and make you dance on hot coals... Then I'll turn you over to Cadence... She'll do all sorts of things to you... You'll beg her to spare you..." The stallion threatened him, but it was too ridiculous a threat to make his bedmates laugh.

Then Shining magically threw a plant pot at one of the neighbors, and he passed out in an instant. Now everyone was silent. And Shining could be silent now, for tomorrow he would settle accounts with the cat.

Chapter 5: Alright, let's settle this in court!

Tom and Jerry woke up feeling completely satisfied, for the beds were very cozy. The morning was, alas, rainy. It was raining outside, and the ponies were scurrying around town with umbrellas or raincoats. Tom and Jerry, however, were frightened by something else: the white stallion's revenge, for physical and moral damage. But then again, Tom had started this self-defense, and everyone wanted to live. Jerry understood that Tom would defend himself to the last, and in this case, he deserved such retribution. Mousey thought so, because of the memory of the words of his "Conscience," that he should sail with this cat on the same boat. And Tom didn't think it was his fault because Twilight attacked him herself and he had to defend himself. He didn't even consider the bite of the croup to be some sort of dirty move, but a way of fighting back.

Tom and Jerry decided to go through the lists of ponies they met and set up for war: first, they stole apples and cider, thus two ponies, Applejack and Rainbow Dash on the "potentially dangerous pony" lists. The former is the rightful owner of the loot, and the latter is her friend. Next up is an encounter with Rarity and Fluttershy. The former doesn't care, but the latter is no longer going to feel sorry for these animals, so there are already three dangerous ponies. Next up: Pinkie Pie is a kind and cheerful pony. Luckily, she's on the side of the cat and the mouse. Next up: Twilight Sparkle. Seemingly an ally, but became an enemy for some unknown reason. However, Tom explained that it was precise because of Fluttershy. Twilight thought it was because of the cat that she had crashed into that damn stand, and so she attacked Tom.

Now Jerry was 100 percent sure that Tom was just defending himself. That made four dangerous ponies. Lyra Hartstrings was another ally in the world, and that somehow knocked the excitement out of the cat and mouse. But now Shining Armor. He is doubly dangerous, so it counted as two. So a little list was made that turned out "potentially dangerous ponies": Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Shining Armor, and "pony allies": Pinkie Pie and Lyra Hartstrings.

After looking at this list, the pair concluded that it would not be easy to keep afloat with such a lineup. A few seconds later, an earth pony mare who looked like a maid came in. She also brought breakfast, which consisted of a couple of salads, scrambled eggs, and juice. The maid also said that the Princesses were waiting for them in the throne room to talk, and then she got to work. For some reason, the sight of the maid sent shivers down Tom's spine. Either he was embarrassed, or the sight of the pony was too provocative for Tom, but he tried not to look at the pony, and Jerry did not understand what it was. Breakfast was not easy for Tom, for the maid was constantly wiping the table somewhere or other, cleaning up what was badly laid, or even climbing on the chairs, where cobwebs had spun on the corners. Perhaps the reason was that the cat often saw beautiful cats, and gave free rein to various fantasies. For example, he once imagined himself sitting on a couch with two beautiful cats, wearing a luxurious suite and a cigar in his teeth. He bragged about how he got all this wealth and flirted nicely with the girls. And Jerry was in the role of a waiter carrying a tray of goldfish. And a similarly very pretty pussy maid passed by, with a broom in her paw. Tom, dismissing everyone else, approached this girl. Gently caressing and stroking her head, Tom wanted to kiss her... and Jerry's eventually spoiled his whole fantasy.

Just now, Tom was getting chills from the sight of the maid, only in reverse. And the reason is that she's a pony, and that made the cat very uncomfortable. Jerry finally understood what was going on and then he walked over to the mare and yanked her tail a couple of times. She responded to the call, and the mouse finger asked her to duck to listen. Jerry whispered something in the mare's ear, and she exclaimed.

"Really?!" She then walked over to Tom, and charged him over the head with the tray, leaving a dent in it. With a disgruntled sniffle, the maid departed. Tom grabbed the mouse to explain why she had hit him. And with a look, he replied, "For all the good stuff!" But all the same, the unnecessary feline energy she threw off with that punch, so the cat calmed down. Now she had to figure out how to get to the throne room...

Tom and Jerry had figured out where to go after all, and now they were walking along a large red walkway, flanked by stained glass windows that depicted, the couple assumed, events that had happened in the world. Looking at most of the stained glass windows, the couple often saw images of familiar ponies... namely those they had annoyed. Both swallowed, anticipating a not-so-pleasant conversation. In front of the throne sat a white mare languidly and tiredly, and next to her stood a very lively and full of energy, but a little smaller, dark blue mare with a mane and tail of blue, which fluttered as well as the white and with the crescent moon cutie mark. Tom and Jerry only now noticed that both mares were both pegasus and unicorn at the same time. The white mare saw the visitors, and those, relying on intuition and the hierarchical position of these mares, decided to bow. The princess rose from her throne, but judging by her face, she did not want to get up at all.

"Hello, cat and mouse..." Celestia murmured reluctantly. "I'm Princess Celestia. And this is my sister, Princess Luna. And you are Tom and Jerry?"

They nodded.

"Then... *cough* I'll take another nap..." Princess Celestia sat back down on the throne and dozed off.

"You will forgive my sister of course. She couldn't sleep all night." Luna apologized to her sister. "So, I'll continue from our messages... Twilight Sparkle has written ten times about you two. And she was extremely aggressive about the cat, which is you, Tom. Each story is more amazing than the next. For instance, she described how the two of you made a mess at SugarCube Corner. And that Tom started the mess himself, and wanted to wake Pinkie Pie." Tom squinted at the mouse, who was now smiling awkwardly at his lies. "Then inflicted moral and physical harm on Fluttershy. What's more, her character changed a lot after you did. Well, and of course." Princess Luna chuckled. "The bite of Twilight's crook. Honestly, it's funny. I laughed about it for about ten minutes. But that's not the point. The point is, you have to tell us what you think happened, and then we'll figure out what's true and what's false."

Tom and Jerry looked at each other as they did not understand what the princess meant.

"Yes, my sister and I are sure that you are mere victims of false arguments. When we first read the letter about you, we ordered the guards to wait for your arrival and arrest you if possible. But then another letter came... another... and another... and with each new one, the description changed and corrected. This led us to assume that something was wrong, and so we waited for your arrest. We didn't warn Shining because we didn't have time, which is why he wanted to kill you. Or rather, to kill Tom. And now he's lying in the hospital because, thanks to you, he suffered a lot of injuries."

With a face of regret, Tom hid his hands behind his back and scuffed the floor with his foot.

"When the Elements of Harmony come, we'll figure it all out..."

But there's a rule. if you think of someone, they show up right away. And so now... as if on schedule, with a loud rattle of doors, six acquaintances came in. Such a rumble made Celestia startle, and she woke up again. Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, and, for some reason, Rarity, looked at the duo with anger, after they escaped from Ponyvile. They shrieked in fear, now that their enemies have arrived, and hid behind Princess Luna's back for a second. Both begged her to protect them.

"Hello, Elements of Harmony." Celestia greeted, somehow cheering up.

Those bowed patiently but bowed. All except Pinkie Pie were furious, while the pink pony cheered her friends on, albeit not out loud.

"Now that we're all here, let's see what's wrong," Luna said. "On to the courtroom all of you!"

Everyone was in the courtroom, where many different ponies were gathered. The Elements of Harmony sat on one side of the room, and the cat and mouse on the other. In the center of the hall sat the judges: Princess Celestia, Luna, and Cadence. The latter turned out to be Shining Armor's wife, and thus Twilight Sparkle's sister-in-law. This could not have been good for the pair of animals, considering how much mutilation they had caused, or rather the cat had caused, to her poor husband. And there were also twelve jurors, led by Fancy Pants, a gray unicorn in an elegant costume with a tail, mane, and small blue mustache, and the cutie mark of the three crowns.

"The case," Celestia began, "is pending against these two creatures: Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse. They are accused of causing moral and physical harm, theft, and damage to other people's property, as well as humiliation of the mice's dignity. The victims are the Elements of Harmony: Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkamina Diana Pie. Defendants, stand up!"

Tom stood up, and Jerry stood as he was.

"Do you understand what you are being accused of?" Celestia asked.

They nodded.

"Do you admit your guilt?"

They shook their heads in response.

"Since you cannot speak, you have the right to use a text. You may prepare your testimony in the meantime. The court is now in session!" Celestia struck the gavel. "The victims have the floor. You have the floor!"

"Thank you, Princess Celestia." Applejack stood up. "I'll start by saying that that night some pony stole apples and cider from us. The next morning it turns out that these boors are the thieves. So, believe me, Element of Integrity, I would forgive these guys if they honestly confessed to me. But no! These vermin just shake their heads like, "It wasn't us!" And then this scumbag," Applejack pointed at the cat, "put a bucket on my head and knocked me on the head..."

"I protest!" Tom pulled out a sign, and Jerry had already finished writing the next one. "That was self-defense!"

"How's that a self-defense?!" - Applejack threw angrily. "You're not going to tell me I rolled the barrel on myself, are you?"

"Yeah," Rainbow intervened. "And she shoved me in there, closed it, pushed me in, and ran off toward the barn!"

"Jerry and I are used to giving back!" Tom continued, holding the sign. "If you give us, we give you! Apples and cider, we took, we won't deny it, but we couldn't ask you about it directly! We're not talkers, are we! And why did you attack us over six apples and one bottle of cider?"

The audience in the audience was surprised.

"Then why did you lie to us?" Applejack asked in response.

"Shame on you..." Tom answered awkwardly.

"Then why did you run away from us?" Rainbow asked.

"Are you out of your mind?!" Jerry pulled out the sign already, then quickly finished it. "You want to obliterate us! That's why we're running away!"

Silence, in the courtroom!" Celestia intervened, tapping her gavel. "Carry on, Elements of Harmony."

"Rarity and I," Fluttershy continued, rising from her seat, "Were walking through town and met Rainbow Dash and Applejack. They told us everything, and then we heard a pony laughing in the bushes. We walked over and saw the two animals. I was about to intercede for them, and suddenly I saw a mouse poking Rainbow in the eyes, and a cat tying a hat on Applejack's head. Naturally, I flew after the runaways... But then they dug a hole! They dug a hole and went somewhere!"

The audience in the hall was even more surprised, but some convinced themselves that it was a fake, and others that it was quite possible.

"And then they came to me!" Pinkie Pie continued. "They made a mess of Sugarcube Corner and I had to clean it up. Ugh, that wasn't fun. My back hurts..."

Pinkie pulled her hooves to her ear for some reason and she winked at the cat and mouse. Tom realized what she meant and reached for her ear himself. After scratching his ear a little, he felt a small leaf. Unbeknownst to the others, Tom pulled out the piece of paper and quickly opened it. It read:

"I'm sorry boys, but my friends have made me go against you. I'm on your side! I swear, and if I lie, I'll stick a cupcake in my eye! I can't help you, of course, but just know that I'm there for you!"

"Then I got a black eye for this cat, and I ran to Twilight Sparkle's place thinking the cat was there, but it wasn't..." Fluttershy frowned at Twilight. - At least, that's what I thought."

"And I said that on purpose, so I could deal with him later. I said it on purpose so I could take care of it later," said Twilight. - "That cat and I started a fight. I don't think I need to describe how it went."

The ponies all chuckled... Apparently, someone had said something about it... Even Celestia chuckled a little, but then braced herself not to offend the victim. The purple unicorn frowned at Tom, and the cat unfurled its paws.

"And what is the nature of Rarity's claim?" Luna asked.

"My essence of the claim is that these ugly beasts were communicating with our sisters!" Rarity said seriously. "Without even telling us! From my sister's interrogation, I learned that these animals were looking for me to take a cure for the Poison Joke! What if they had robbed me, too! Of course, I resent this duo of boorish people!"

"So tell me, why do you two need a cure for Poison Banter?" Cadence asked the defendants, with concealed anger.

"Because all the wool fell off Tom, we didn't think those flowers were that unpleasant!" - Jerry pulled out a sign.

"And you're also a hitchhiker from another world?" Cadence asked again.

"And may I ask you a counter-question, Princess Cadence? Aren't you asking us these questions because of your husband?" Jerry asked.

"Stop talking!" For the second time, Celestia stopped the impending struggle. "Have the victims said everything?" Those nodded. "Then sit down. Defendants, what do you have to say for yourselves?"

"We are from another world, slept at home, and then found ourselves in the woods." - Tom raised the plaque.

"And after walking through it, passing through the blue flowers, we ended up in Ponyville. Yes, we stole apples and cider at night, but only because we wanted to eat." Jerry continued.

"Waiting until morning was unbearable, and what's the likelihood they'd let us sleep here and eat? We don't know how you feel about strangers!"

"That's why we didn't take the risk, and that's what we did."

"Then why did you lie to Applejack about not taking those apples and cider?" Celestia asked.

"Shame and shamelessness." Tom pulled out a sign. "We trusted the sweet lie."

Can you then explain the purpose for which you wanted to go to Rarity?" Cadence asked.

"The Crusaders told us to go to Rarity because she had this cure to get rid of the Poison Joke." Jerry pulled out a sign. "We think about it, and it's a shame to see Tom wander around town completely hairless, naked."

Some ponies were embarrassed, others rolled their eyes, and some laughed a little. Tom slapped the mouse, and Jerry yanked the cat's whiskers in return.

"We weren't going to steal anything from her, though, we just wanted to figure out where we were going first, but our instincts for self-preservation, made us defend ourselves against Applejack and Rainbow Dash." Pulled out a sign, Tom.

"And yes, Sugarcube Corner is a job we do together. Because we're cat and mouse, it's in our nature to mess with each other. Hence all our experiences." - Jerry continued.

"Then why do you cooperate?" Luna asked.

"Because it's not the right circumstances to be setting mousetraps and throwing bowling balls," Tom replied.

"Now explain to us why you were fighting with Twilight Sparkle?" Cadence asked, curiously.

"I'll say it again: it's self-defense!" Tom slammed his fist on the table. "There's no way I'm attacking you first! Twilight attacked me herself, because of Fluttershy, who crashed into a booth where there were advertisements for books!"

Twilight was embarrassed for some reason, and Celestia looked at the unicorn in surprise. I have to say, Cadence was surprised, too.

"So, we fought in the house, yes I bit her croup, but only because I'm not rubber. I have, like, nine lives, not ninety-nine."

And how can you explain your physiology?! - Twilight couldn't resist asking. "You tuck your head under your neck, your mouth gets wider from the umbrella, your tongue stretches to an incredible length... HOW?!"

"What's the big deal?" Jerry wondered. "Is that an unusual phenomenon for you? Let us demonstrate?" Jerry turned to Celestia.

She had the following look on her face. "What in Faust's name is all this nonsense?" but she gave the demonstration the go-ahead. Jerry pulled a cricket mallet out of nowhere and cracked an unprepared Tom on the head. The man's eyes widened out of their orbits and then went back into place. Then Tom took that very hammer away and hit the mouse with it, crushing it into a pancake. All the ponies were aghast at such cruelty, but when they saw that they bowed as if on the stage as if nothing had happened, they were confused, because they could not understand how this cat and mouse could have such painful thresholds. The jurors, too, were pensive; Fancy Pants even adjusted his monocle.

"Well..." Twilight looked at the defendants with twitchy eyes. "I don't say a word... The question is off..." Snd sat back in her seat.

"Tell me then, for what purpose did you go to Canterlot?" Luna asked.

"No reason," Tom replied. "We didn't have a choice, so we took the first one we saw."

"Speaking of which..." Cadence interjected. "As far as we know, there was a robbery in the buffet on the train you were just riding on. Somepony pulled the fire alarm, and a few minutes later, the buffet was robbed. Somehow I am forced to suspect that it was your doing."

"You know, Princess Cadence, it's better to steal once than to have your stomach hurt." The mouse replied grudgingly. - "We only steal if we want to eat, but there's no way we'd steal something of value!"

"So, do you confess to stealing other people's property after all? - asked an almost confused Celestia.

They nodded sternly.

"Well..." Celestia didn't know what to say. The cat's bouncing eyes and the flattened mouse were enough for her. "Do you have anything else to say?"

The cat and the mouse shook their heads.

"Then sit down. Let's move on to the examination of the witnesses. Call Derpy Hooves to the stand!"

The slant-eyed pegasus that Tom had bumped into and let her lose all her mail entered the courtroom. She walked to the podium with her bag and got ready for questions.

"You are Derpy Hooves, a pegasus, residing in the city of Ponyville, occupation: delivery of mail." Celestia clarified, as required.

"Yes, Princess Celestia." The pegasus replied.

"What can you say about the defendants?" Luna asked.

"Very strange creatures..." admitted Derpy. "Especially that cat. I remember when he was naked and now he had fur."

"Tell me, what did you see the day they were in Ponyville?" - Cadence asked, probably with a grain of hope that she'd say something bad.

"I was flying through town, delivering mail, having some muffins for the road, and this cat crashed into me. I scattered all the mail and letters. When I got everything I'd scattered, I noticed one of the envelopes was open, and it belonged to Miss Cherilee."

Jerry remembered the letter, and it made him blush. Everyone in the hall noticed it with Tom looking at him and slapping Jerry, knowing why did he have to read somepony else's letters.

"You read other people's letters, too?" Rarity was indignant. "Shame on you! You have no conscience, not to mention shame!

"I do, it's just that this second they're gone," Tom replied, leaning on the table.

"And then I noticed Fluttershy flying after them. She flew up to me and asked me with a scary face where the cat and mouse had run to. She was so mad that I decided to fly away from here as soon as possible, lest she does something to me, too."

"They didn't do anything in front of you?" Celestia asked.

"No, except for that letter," Derpy answered.

"Does anyone else have any questions?" The other two judges were silent. "Have a seat."

The pegasus cast another glance at the defendants and sat down in one of the chairs. Celestia felt like a squirrel in a wheel, spinning and spinning to get the job done, but how? They have to have a lot of patience, and because of Celestia's bad sleep, she didn't have that patience. Luna didn't quite understand everything, but she was convinced of some injustice. And who that injustice didn't share the goodness with was yet to be found out. And Cadence... She wanted to strangle the cat and mouse right in the courtroom, but her tolerance and her aunt's compulsion, made her keep herself in her hooves. The victims, except for Pinkie Pie, also tried to hold on, but there was little patience. Twilight wanted revenge now, not just for the bitten croup, but also for the fact that her brother was now lying in the hospital.

"Spike is summoned to the courtroom!" Celestia said.

The purple dragon boy that Tom and Jerry had already seen walked into the hall. He found it difficult to stand in front of the podium where he could be seen because he was too short. So he stood behind the podium. You couldn't tell from his face that he was on anyone's side.

"Spike, dragon, resident of Ponyville, occupation: first mate to Twilight Sparkle." Celestia listed.

"Heh, you already know that Princess Celestia..." replied Spike thoughtlessly.

Twilight slapped herself in the face and Celestia rounded her eyes, Tom and Jerry tapping their fingers on the table with their eyes away from each other.

"Please tell me about the fight between the defendant Tom and the victim Twilight Sparkle."

"Where should I start?" Spike asked in response.

Twilight had warned Spike from the start that if he said anything wrong, he'd spend the week cleaning up the library himself.

"Start at the beginning," Celestia asked. "Begin at the beginning,"

"So..." Spike began nervously. "I heard the sound of broken glass coming from the bathroom..."

"From the bathroom?" Luna asked back. "What were they doing in there?"

"Twilight had a cure for the Poison Joke... and he was being treated," Spike answered. "After Fluttershy showed up with a black eye, Tom somehow hid in the bathroom without her noticing him... And when Fluttershy left, Twilight yelled something, I couldn't hear her, and a fight broke out."

"And what were you doing at that moment?" Cadence asked.

"I stayed out of it... You know what they say, two fightings, three to go?"

"But you could have stopped the fight." Celestia protested.

"Yes, I could have, but I would have been in the crossfire. Besides, magic doesn't work on those guys, when Twilight tied to blast her magic at Tom, but it backfired at her."

The ponies were all more surprised than ever. Some aren't affected by magic. Twlight was already a little disappointed in her revenge, but now what... She'd wished to take a frying pan and smash the buggers if she had the time to do so.

"Also, this mouse and Pinkie Pie have been known to come to the scene of the fight. What was going on before that?" Luna asked.

Spike got even more nervous. He was as much of a liar as Rainbow Dash was a turtle. The dragon didn't know what words to use, so he was already thinking of an escape plan. Because Twilight's wrath would be much scarier, and he didn't want to experience it. So mentally he prayed, for his next words...

"Twilight and Tom kept fighting... Then... uh... they paused for a second, like in boxing! And then..."

Suddenly Spike hiccupped and then fell to the ground... Everyone got scared, so they quickly went to check on him... A simple faint...

"He was nervous..." said Twilight. "I threatened him too much..."

"Well, no wonder!" Rainbow agreed. "When a week's work is on the line without a break, of course, you get nervous."

And Tom and Jerry whispered quietly to themselves about a plan for possible dialogues and witnesses. For now, they were on a very fine line. If they were convicted, you never know what to expect. So there was plenty of time to endure...

An hour passed...

Throughout the trial, the witnesses included Lyra Hartstrings, who spoke well of Tom and Jerry, and Octavia Melody, that gray cello pony who appreciated their musical talent and their humor, but of course, also stood up for them. Of course, it wasn't without Shining Armor... He wanted to be at the meeting after all, and all the ponies sympathized with him, though they remembered perfectly well how they laughed at him. Here he had said many bad things about the defendants, even about their amazing dexterity.

And, of course, he reminded him that he had been badly hurt by this cat's paws. Jerry slapped himself in the face. It turns out Tom needs to answer to the law, not the mouse. But it's too late to spin now. Several other witnesses from Ponyville and Canterlot also spoke, and opinions differed: some thought the cat and the mouse were unscrupulous vermin, and some thought they needed sympathy. In any case, the decision of the jury in this trial was imminent. And now everyone was waiting for that moment... Finally, a few minutes later, all twelve jurors arrived. Fancy Pants began speaking.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Based on everything we have heard in this courtroom, we have come to the following conclusions. First: Whether or not the humiliation of the marmoset dignity of these two animals has been proven, and whether or not they are guilty of it... Guilty! " Tom and Jerry shuddered at this conclusion, but it's a start... "Second: Whether the theft and defacement of other people's property by these two animals have been proven, and whether they are guilty of it... Guilty!"

The elements of Harmony could already taste victory, and Tom and Jerry were afraid."Third: Whether the moral and physical harm to the victims has been proven by these two animals, and whether they are guilty of it... Guilty!" Now Tom and Jerry were preparing a will... "Do the defendants deserve leniency... Yes, they do." This cheered up the cat , the mouse, and the Elements bearers

"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, of the jury. Defendants, rise!" Celestia said to the defendants as the defendants stood up. "Any last words you two would say?"

"We want to apologize..." Tom began. "We are very ashamed, believe us."

"We came into this world and ... acted like tomboys." Jerry continued. "We could've been friends, and now we're going to war, causing us to bring havoc we didn't want to intent."

Tom suddenly stopped Jerry writing.

"It's all my fault... And Jerry had nothing to do with it, he just followed me... The path I stepped on." Tom looked at all the ponies, especially the Harmony Elements, with sincere regret. "You can do what you want with me, but let Jerry go!"

"Tom!" Jerry was shocked by such self-sacrifice from his natural enemy. "What are you talking about?"

"What I'm saying is that I've learned the importance of teamwork! When you can lean on your friend, put your shoulder to his side to help him... You and I are in the same boat here and we have to sail it together."

"No, Tom! We're both good! We're both ready for nastiness and meanness anything in the world! That's why I'll be proud to follow you even now!"

Tom and Jerry looked at each other as friends, not enemies, but frienemies. Jerry held out his paw for a paw shake, and Tom shook his friend's paw. All the ponies watching this scene were touched, except, of course, Shining and Cadence.

"Anyway, if we're going to be punished, we're ready to take it. Because we deserve it." Tom and Jerry raised one plaque together.

"Okay. We'll confer now and make a decision." With those words, the Alicorns left the hall.

Tom and Jerry see each other as enemies, but that's why they are frienemies, to become friends at least sometimes, especially in a situation like this. Twilight and her friends looked at these animals with a certain amount of pride, as they finally realized that they need to take responsibility for their actions sometimes, and not blame them on others. But also... They now acted like friends... comrades... a team... It was a great joy, for Princess Celestia's faithful apprentice...

The princesses gave an acquittal against the defendants and the Elements of Harmony had no objection to such a verdict. Now, Tom, Jerry, all the Elements of Harmony, Shining, and the Princesses were in the throne room, where the cat and mouse again apologized for everything.

"Come on..." said Applejack. "What's past is past, guys."

"Yeah." Rainbow agreed. "But I won't be flying anytime soon."

"I've been wanting to use my "look" on you and teach you guys a lesson, but now I don't even feel like it," Fluttershy confessed. "Now that you two have spoken the truth."

"Well, gentlemen, you can be good after all, if you wish," said Rarity.

"I knew they could be friends! I knew all along! - Pinky exclaimed.

"I think this will be a good lesson for you," Twilight said.

"You can be sure of that!" Tom replied, as usual with a sign.

"That goes without saying!" Jerry replied.

"Now we must somehow bring you home," Celestia said.

"But we don't even know how they got here." Luna intervened. "They told us that they woke up in the Everfree Forest."

"Maybe the ponies could have moved them here of their own accord," said Cadence.

"And who would want to do that? - Shining asked.

"You can guess three times," someone's mocking voice echoed.

"Well, of course..." said Celestia with a wicked grin on her face. "Who else but him..."

"May I ask who 'he' is?" Jerry asked with some fear.

A very strange dragon appeared in the center of the hall with a bright flash...who looked like Frankenstein's monster, for his head was like a horse, his right horn was deer and the other was the goat; his right paw was a lion's and his left was an eagle; his right-wing was a bat and his left was a pegasus, his right leg a lizard and his left hoof a horse and a matching dragon tail with a brush on the end...All the ponies recognized him...

"Discord..." Twilight hissed.

Chapter 6: How do you create a Cat and Mouse for Chaos?

"I see I'm not welcome here..." Discord made a sad face.

"You'd better be!" Twilight replied, sarcastically "You show your face around here, and we'll be in trouble!"

"And I thought you were going to say... are you here to make villains out of us again?" Discord said, "quoting" a possible suggestion in a woman's voice.

"You stop this clowning!" Shining blurted out. "If I wasn't in a cast, I'd have counted your ribs by now!

"You know, I've got plenty of those ribs!" Discord said as he pulled out the X-ray screen, showing a huge number of ribs.

Tom and Jerry were confused. either this draconequus is a good humorist, or he's just tailing their backs. They had already forgotten about the signs, and so with a look, they wanted to ask, "Who are you anyway!"

“Oh yeah..." Discord said, slapping himself in the face, "I totally forgot about those two chaotic duos." The draconequus made a cute face.

Tom only folded his paws in front of his chest, and Jerry showed his tongue to the draconequus-they saw nothing good in this guy.

"What are you so..." Discord turned with an accompanying flash into a cat that looked like Tom, but with its own coloring and style. "I'm Discord, it's nice to see you two here!" Then he held out his paw for a paw shake.

But Tom didn't shake the paw of some magical upstart; instead, he averted his eyes from the "cat.

"Come on, what's it worth to you?" Discord said to himself, shaking Tom's paw, but there was one surprise in the "cat's" palm...

After Tom tore his paw from the alien one, he smelled a burning fuse... Noticing the dynamite in his paw, the cat cried out in horror and started running around the hall looking for a way to put out the damn fuse, but the explosion was inevitable... He decided to throw the dynamite out the window, but the fuse had already finished... After the explosion, Tom turned completely black. All the ponies are in shock again: even the explosion was nothing on the cat, except that he turned all black as if by smoke. Shaking off the "blackness," Tom decided to answer his opponent.

Rolling up his sleeve, showing his bare skin, he began to "load" his fist for a punch, rotating his arm in front of him. And when Tom had already attempted to strike Discord, he snapped his fingers and put a spring in front of his chin. The blow rebounded and flew back at Tom, and he received that powerful blow. From that blow, the cat flew up to the ceiling and punched through it, leaving a trail of his body, and a few seconds later, with a wild howl, the cat punched through the ceiling again and flattened his face painfully on the ground, crumpling into an accordion. At the sight of such a picture, the pony had two feelings: laughter and pity. Jerry, on the other hand, seeing the scoundrel "hit" his friend, with an angry look and a menacing gait, walked over to Discord, and poked him, his leg up into a fighting stance.

"How ridiculous..." After these words, Discord created a huge piece of cheese in front of him.

Jerry, as if under hypnosis, rushed to this delicious heavenly "gift. But trying to bite a piece of cheese, the mouse bite like titanium, which made all the teeth fall apart. And then the yellow titanium cheese melted, and hooked Jerry with its grease, turning him into a golden sculpture. The mooing of the mouse stuck in the sculpture was perfectly audible, and Discord, in his old form, brought his head up to the mouse...

"Can you hear me? Are you alive in there?" There was a note of excitement in Discord's voice, though the ponies knew full well that it was simple irony.

Jerry mumbled affirmatively, and then Discord materialized a sledgehammer and struck the sculpture. The sculpture turned into a gold coin, and on the front was a picture of Jerry standing in profile.

“Yeah," Discord said sullenly. “No one's going to take bats like that...”

Discord cracked the coin and the mouse fell out like an egg yolk. Jerry gathered himself together and his head was spinning hard, so he fell on his heel and held his paws to his head. Tom and Jerry marveled at this charlatan's wit and therefore chose to wait for further action.

“Ha-ha-ha... You are so funny...” Discord laughed from the bottom of his heart. “Even now you amaze me!”

“Discord, you are already overstepping the bounds!” Celestia interjected. “We didn't free you from the stone so that you could go back to wreaking havoc in Equestria!”

“Oh, Tia, I have no boundaries..." Discord became a rectangle that stretched to great latitudes and heights. “But I'll tell you right off the bat, I'm only doing this for fun.”

"And what's the fun in that?!” Pinkie jumped out.

“Discord! I've told you before, you're not allowed to be so outrageous!” Fluttershy was furious. “Didn’t you remembered that I reformed you?”

“But he didn't seem to hear you, Fluttershy.” Rarity remarked. “Even if you did reformed him.”

“Why do you need them, Discord?” Twilight asked. “What's the point of the-“

“Wait a minute, Twilight.” Applejack interrupted. “How did you bring them here if magic has no effect on them?”

“Exactly!” Rainbow encouraged her. “Twilight tried to burn Tom with fire, and that fire just bounced right off!”

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Discord was now dressed in a formal black suit, resembling a man in a black suit. "I'll try to answer all your questions!"

Discord put the suit away and sat up in the air, putting his paws to his finger, revealing everything on how he managed to get Tom & Jerry to Equestria.

"I was lying in a clearing, looking at the clouds, counting the chocolate-lined birds, and then I realized, I got bored! So I began to wonder how I could amuse myself... And as I flipped through each world or dimension you would say, I came across..." The draconequus was flipping through the book as if he were really looking for a world until he found something that caught his attention. "Them! They were expertly hitting each other with tomatoes, falling into traps, getting smashed to pieces, and the last chase ended with the cat bathing in the washing machine."

"Very unusual animals who are enemies... Maybe they'll entertain me, but when I had tried to bring them into our world I couldn't. My magic wasn't working on them, but then I started realizing..." Discord said as he was already sitting down, thinking and leaning his head on his fist to figure out how he could bring Tom and Jerry to Equestria. "I thought about it for an hour or two, but nothing came to mind. So when they fell asleep, I tried my magic again to teleport them, and... it worked! I brought them here, and now I'm watching the whole extravaganza... But the disappointment came with the world of this duo when you 5 ponies had to take them to court to settle their situation, even though… you were going to obliterate them, just because they caused havoc of their self-defenses. That's pretty much it!"

"I don't understand how they succumbed to magic in their dreams." Twilight wondered.

“I see..." Luna answered. "When a pony sleeps, its soul separates from its body and goes to the dream realm. In our case, it may not mean anything, but in Tom and Jerry's case, their protection from our magic manifests in their soul. We cannot use magic against them because their soul may not know magic. But in their sleep, their body remains defenseless, and magic is easy to resist. That's why Discord was able to move them."

"Bravo!" Discord applauded. "Your insight fascinates me".

"But... why did you bring them here?" Cadence asked. - "They're already friends, so there's no point in that now."

“It's pathetic, of course, but..." There was a smirk on the draconequus’ face.

Discord magically revealed a huge lump of gray wool and two fleeces of brown. For some reason Tom and Jerry had the strange feeling that it was their wool.

“Is it... Tom and Jerry's fur?” Rarity guessed, but dared to ask. "Ugh... Why the fur..."

“I'll go along with...” Spike was embarrassed, too.

"You're probably thinking... why does he need that wool?" Discord asked, "But I'll show you..."

Discord put the wool on the floor, and after snapping his fingers, the wool started to move and then grow. Some sort of wool cocoons formed, but one was as tall as Tom and the other was as tall as Jerry. After a few seconds, the wool fell off, and before my eyes appeared something incredible... These were clones of Tom and Jerry, who were very similar to their originals, except that their eyes were the color of red and...

“Now that's better..." Tom's clone spoke!

“What a load of cheese this is!” Clone Jerry remarked!

Tom and Jerry's jaw dropped to the floor at the sight of their doppelgangers, and the ponies had a bad feeling about this...

“Allow me to introduce my Chaos Generals: Cat MelTom and Mouse MelJerry.” Discord introduced his "charges."

“Ha, I look lame!” MelTom remarked, looking at his original.

“And you think I look better?” MelJerry asked, pulling the nose of his doppelganger.

They immediately reacted and got into a fighting stance, but the clones snapped their fingers and a bowling ball and a black ball with the number eight appeared over Tom and Jerry's heads. The result: Tom had a new head on his head, while Jerry kept the old one as a spare and was already looking at an eight.

“How is that possible?!” Twilight couldn't help her surprise.

“Maybe you can surprise me a second time with your deduction?” Discord asked in response.

“You created them, so they have your magic and can use it just like you?!” Celestia made a hunch.

“Yep, and they can do more than that.” Discord pointed at Tom and Jerry, and the clones understood the instruction.

The clones extended their paws forward and now Tom and Jerry were levitating above the ground. And then, the wizards made a sharp plunge into the ground, and the cat and mouse smacked their faces against the ground.

“My generals' magic works on those two," Discord remarked.

“That's incredible..." Luna astonished but backfired at Discord. “But…You tricked us all here!”

“But wait a minute, what if we used our magic on those doppelgangers?” Rainbow pointed out.

Cadence at first, wanted to get back at Tom and Jerry for humiliating her husband, but now she had a chance to get back at the doppelgangers, so she decided to fire the horn first. The projectile was deftly intercepted by MelTom and launched at Shining. It hit the wall, smashing into it. He raised his hoof.

"I'm okay," Shining said, then put his hoof down.

Then Twilight decided to try. She let loose a wave of ice on the doppelgangers, but all the ice bounced off them and headed for the doer. She turned out to be an ice caveman. She bared her teeth from the cold, and icicles dangled from her ears, nose, and face. Tom and Jerry were getting tired of these clowns, but without good and cunning tactics, they'd just be launched somewhere else, like into space. And Discord got what he wanted: humor. He wouldn't stop laughing at what was going on right now.

“Oh, thatms hilarious! I... my... heart is about to stop..." Discord suddenly stopped laughing and fell backwards, and then a white transparent entity emerged from his body. “But of course I'm joking!” After these words, the entity returned to his body.

Why would you do that, Discord?” Fluttershy asked, perplexity.

“It's fun, Fluttershy.” Discord said, tossing a crystal ball in which two balls of gray and brown were rolling. “If you knew what I know about those two... You'd laugh so hard, you'd live like that... Well, it's not proper to say, but you'd laugh enough to last you another century. These two creatures are perfect humorists..." The draconequus looked at the balloon, and inside it, two balloons were beating against each other. And then both cracked from the endless beating and crumbled into ashes. - But now, making me laugh will be my Tom and Jerry. I'd love to linger, but it's time to have some fun! And I'll start with Ponyville! Adios!

Discord and the Tom & Jerry clones disappeared just as they appeared. Everyone was puzzled, because no matter what Discord was up to, it always turned into a crazy circus show. Tom and Jerry were now furious and wanted to make a pretty good case out of this draconequus, but the weakness they now have is their clones MelTom and MelJerry.

“Well..." began Applejack. “It seems that one problem has been replaced by another...”

“Then the question is… How are we going to solve it?” Rarity asked.

"I think we just need to fight these clones, but they reflect magic quite well. Twilight admitted, who had just warmed up with a spell.

“Maybe the Elements of Harmony would help?” Pinkie asked. “It worked on Discord, so why not try it here?”

That I doubtful..." said Celestia. “If our magic can't work on them, then the Elements of Harmony are out of the question.”

But Tom and Jerry heard about them carefully and then asked for an explanation anyway.

“ The Elements of Harmony are powerful artifacts with incredible power.” Celestia began to explain. “They were created to maintain peace and harmony in our land. They represent: Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Loyalty, and Magic. But there are also their bearers: six ponies who possess the qualities of each element and therefore they are their embodiment. Twilight Sparkle - Magic, Rainbow Dash - Loyalty, Rarity - Generosity, Pinkie Pie - Laughter, Fluttershy - Kindness, Applejack - Honesty.”

Tom and Jerry looked again at all the stained glass windows, and they pointed to the one with the Elements of Harmony bearers and some black mare against whom magic had been used.

“That's an old story," Luna said with a heavy sigh. “But as an example of their use, yes. To tell the story or not, I don't know...”

The cat and the mouse realized that they had touched an unpleasant memory, so they spread their paws. But then they continued to reason in sign language (due to their habit of not using text), they began to explain that if they put on these Harmony Elements, it would create a kind of counterbalance to ordinary magic, or even the possibility to use it. In that case, the cat and mouse could try their luck against the clones and win. All the ponies pondered, and Shining was already up, from the knockdown. After all...

“That's a good idea!” Spike exclaimed. “We could try it.”

“But what are we going to do about Discord” Fluttershy asked.

“We have to deal with the Chaos Generals first, then we can figure out what to do with him.” Twilight said, finding out where the Tom & Jerry clones left off. “We need to get back to Ponyville as soon as possible!” Twilight turned to the cat and the mouse. “Are you two sure you're coming with us?”

They nodded and "saluted" their new friends.

A few hours later, Elements of Harmony, Spike, and Tom and Jerry were already in Ponyville. It looked as if a massacre had taken place in this city. Houses were damaged, statues were broken, ponies were scurrying around, and someone was running away with a gun. It turned out that a "new" couple in the middle of town had already made a mess of the town, and now they were exchanging tomatoes and heavy carts. They immediately spotted the heroes approaching, and so they reacted immediately.

“Look who's here!” said MelTom.

“Oh, This is going to be fun!” MelJerry replied.

They magically took the statue of a pony standing on two legs and launched it at the cat and the mouse. They didn't have time to react, so after the hit, the statue's head was torn off and it stood back up to its normal position, now the ponies had the heads of the cat and the mouse. Then the clones' gaze shifted to the Elements carriers, and already they had a butter machine gun ready against them.

“TECA-A-A-A-AY!” Pinkie shouted.

After that, the butterball shooting began. Twilight covered herself with magic, but MelJerry removed the magic shield and projectiles flew into the unicorn, turning her into an oil statue, and then she fell into the feather cart. When the filly got out, all the feathers were stuck to her, and the clones were laughing all the way, so they put a clothespin and a red comb on the pony's face, now Twilight is a real chicken on four hooves. And at this point, Tom and Jerry, with a smirk on their faces, got their baseball bats ready and poked the rascals in the shoulders and charged a good punch in the face. That brilliant good home run directed the "balls" back into that damn stand, now finally destroying it. The clones were clearly pissed off, and so they pulled out of nowhere double-barreled shotguns loaded with marmalades. Tom and Jerry began to flee, trying to avoid the flying projectiles, at which point Fluttershy flew by and she got a dozen marmalades in her eyes. Completely blinded, she flew into a large building in the center of town, and there was a loud rumble and screams of pain. When they stopped, Fluttershy came out with a pot on her head up to her neck.

“I… I… can't be nice anymore," Fluttershy mumbled.

Meanwhile, Spike, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash had almost made it to the library, since the Elements of Harmony were supposed to be stored there. But as soon as they got to the door, they were trapped... MelTom and MelJerry came out of the bushes, waved their paws, and immediately the mat where the pony and the little draconequus stood spun, and now the trio was flying in the sky. After a short flight, they landed on nearby rooftops, and were now high above the ground. Immediately the question arose of how to get down.

In the meantime, Rarity and Pinky had already figured out how to get past the guards. Rarity on the other side of the library began to do a "damsel in distress" voice, and Pinky waited for her moment... After a few seconds, someone approached, and then the two ponies hit the scoop and rolling pin, but it was their Tom and Jerry, and the clones were standing quite close. After that, Tom and Jerry were trapped again and their tails were set on fire. With a wild shriek, they quickly ran to the fountain and extinguished the burning tails. But Pinky and Rarity were strapped to a huge crossbow like two arrows, and practically everything was ready to fly...

“That's all we need," Rarity admitted. “I really don't want to fly...”

“But it's fun, Rarity?” Pinkie protested cheerfully. “Don't you think?”

“If you don't fly by choic-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO“ with a wild shriek, the ponies flew to the other side of town.

Tom and Jerry realized that they were now alone, but they had to get the Elements of Harmony somehow. Then they started thinking of a plan, and it turned out to be simple enough... The clones guarded the entrance to the library like two "refrigerators" at the face control. From around the corners, Tom and Jerry jumped out, and they both started pissing off the villainous couple. They instantly reacted and launched an energy clot that blew the whole corner of the house away. The projectile didn't hit the guys and they teased the creeps again, then started to run away. Then the villains went after the two. After running through the town, they realized no one was here, and at that moment one coffee-milk-colored pony, with a gray mane and tail, with a scroll cuite mark, wearing glasses and collar, was furious and the other ponies were standing behind her, armed with whoever was what.

“For the destruction of our city, you two will answer for it to the fullest!” said the mare. ATTACK!”

And all the ponies with weapons headed towards the clones, and they smelled fried, so they began to run away. And Tom and Jerry were inside the library, which was more or less cleaned up, and at least the plumbing had been fixed. At the same second, the cat and mouse began searching for the Elements of Harmony. But having searched the whole house from top to bottom, nothing like that could be found. Tom and Jerry were scratching their heads, trying to guess where else such things might be hiding. But then a little fly appeared that looked too suspicious...

“Lost something, guys?” A familiar voice sounded.

Suddenly, with a bright flash, the draconequus reappeared. Somehow Tom and Jerry already knew to expect him, and so they prepared for a fight.

“Why are you so anxious to get in my face,” Discord said, as he ran his face through the grater and then put it back together.

The cat and the mouse suspected that he might have taken the Elements of Harmony, so he demanded an answer with his angry stare.

“Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not a chalkboard with "how to catch a mouse" written on it. What do you expect me to say?” Discord asked, folding his paws.

Tom and Jerry decided to do a whole theater. Jerry dressed up as Twilight Sparkle and used fruits and vegetables like "the rest of his friends," Tom pretended to be Discord, and he did a pretty good impersonation of him. Jerry used vermicelli to portray a release of magical energy, and Tom poured gray paint all over himself.

“Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...” Discord laughed at such a parody. “Very funny! I still remember to this day how they turned me back into stone. Though it was kind of hurtful... After all, we are cramped and cold. And now to the point, are you looking for the Elements of Harmony? I'm sorry, but according to my instructions, my Chaos Generals have hidden them. I don't know where. And I don't want to know where they hid it.”

Tom and Jerry sensed a problem and were about to ask the draconequus more forcefully, but he disappeared again. At that moment, Twilight and Fluttershy came running in.

“Where are the Elements of Harmony?” Twilight asked.

The cat and the mouse shook their heads.

“So Discord got to them before we did," Twilight said. "But where could they be? He hid them in one of the books last time, but now where?”

Tom and Jerry explained that it wasn't him, but their doppelgangers who hid them.

“Then we need to hurry!” Twilight said.

I've seen ponies catching them all over Ponyville," Fluttershy remarked. “I think they've got them by now...”

“Then let's go!” Twilight ran out into the street like a bullet.

At this moment Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Spike had already come down to the ground and met her friends with a cat and a mouse.

“So much for flying to the roof," Applejack assessed.

“If my wings didn't hurt, I'd be worth it,” Rainbow said.

You're as priceless as we are.” Applejack replied.

“So, what about the Elements?” Spike asked.

Those two sycophants have hidden them somewhere, and that's where we're going to find out!” Twilight replied.

“And where’s Pinkie and Rarity?” Fluttershy asked.

I saw them fly off in the direction at Everfree Forest.” Rainbow answered. “I guess we'll have to wait for them...”

"We won't..." Rarity said, velcro-covered, webbed who'd come out of nowhere. “Thanks to a bear that cushioned our fall... And almost ate us...”

“But how cool was that!” Pinky exclaimed. “I wish I could fly like that again.”

“And I hope we don't have to do and speak of it again," Rarity groaned.

After a little talk, the heroes headed downtown, and Spike was told to sit in the library and inform Celestia that the Elements of Harmony had been stolen. And downtown, all the ponies were either knocked out or getting a serving of pies and cakes in the face, or flying somewhere far, far away... Tom and Jerry couldn't fight like that, and so the Elements just had to be found now. But it turned out... That the clones weren't hiding them either, because now the amulets and the crown were on MelTom, and MelJerry wore only one amulet on himself. Tom and Jerry swallowed... This is bad... VERY bad...

Chapter 7: The Fight Analysis

MelTom and MelJerry have continued to wreak havoc in Ponyville, and how to stop them is a difficult question. Besides, they are wearing the Elements of Harmony, and it is virtually impossible to make them give these artifacts back. Now the horror and nightmare for Ponyville were happening at the market, where they were selling all sorts of food and trinkets. Tom and Jerry still decided to attack first, but possessing magic, the clones had no problem throwing the cat and mouse in different directions and returning to their goal of beating, smashing, breaking, and destroying. The wearers of the Elements didn't know what to do now, since taking away the Elements of Harmony wasn't as easy as it seemed. Yes, and magic doesn't work on clones the same way it does on their originals. And while Tom and Jerry were zealously trying to approach the villains, the ponies were discussing a plan...

"Okay, girls, we can't take away our Elements of Harmony easily. So we have to figure out how to take them away." Twilight began, figuring out the plan.

"How about some cupcakes?" Pinkie asked, pulling out a couple of cupcakes.

"Okay... Worst idea ever..." Rainbow replied, in response Pinkie squinted at her friend so that she was almost lying on the ground and her head on the floor.

"Do you doubt the incredible power and strength of cupcakes!" Pinkie asked, sternly and without taking her eyes off

"I... doubt it." Rainbow fearlessly answered. Though she was the one who played fearlessly.

Pinkie took a bite out of the cupcake and it made her crinkle for some reason.

"Eeeeeeeeee! No sugar! Boo!" Pinkie didn't like it when there was no sugar in the cupcakes.

Pinkie, you haven't bought sugar since Wednesday..." Applejack replied.

"Oops... That's right!" Pinkie slapped herself in the face. "And then how did I bake cupcakes?"

"Enough!" said Twilight. "Focus girls, it's time for sweet talk! We have to help Tom and Jerry!"

"How are we going to help them?" Fluttershy asked. "Their clones are already overpowering them!"

"You have to think about it Fluttershy..." said Twilight. "I think we have to be as clever and cunning as the cat and mouse."

"I could have done them with one hand if it hadn't been for my wings!" Rainbow complained.

"That's the third time you've complained about wings." Rarity interjected. "You make it sound like a tragedy."

"What's it supposed to sound like?" Rainbow asked, holding the unicorn's face with two hooves. "But, without wings, my life is not sweet... It's corrosive and greedy, for me... I want to be a free bird again... To fly away to a clearing of clouds..."

"Ooh... That's it!" Applejack waved at her friend. "She's already got the urge for poetry. I think, Twil, you should give her more psychology than Daring Doo."

"Twenty-five again!" Twilight groaned with anger. "Why does everything have to be my fault?!"

"Because you hit her on the head with a book once," Fluttershy replied. "She's been taking poems from you ever since."

"I wonder where my poetry books go..." Twilight said, until she looked at the pegasus.

Oh... My soul... broken, miserable soul..." Rainbow's poem continued. "I can't fly without wings... I can't stand still ... I can't do the Rainbow Punch with courage and skill... I can't keep up with my other wish..."
I guess so..." Twilight looked at her friend as if she were a well-worn book kleptomaniac with her own inner world. - We should take her to a shrink once...

Meanwhile, there was another squeal from Tom, who had his tail caught by the cartwheel, and he flew up in a cloud in pain. The cat flew out of it on an orange-colored pegasus with a mane and tail of orange and red. The one was dressed in a uniform or costume of azure blue with yellow patterns. She instantly reacted to the cat saddling her.

"Get off me, you lump of fleas! - The lizard tried to shoo the cat off her, but she was held fast to her, not about to fall from such a height. "Oh, so that's it?! I'll show you then!"

The pegasus flew high above the ground with Tom and began to take turns in the air, doing tricks like a dead loop or a barrel roll. Tom was getting carsick from such a flight, but either Tom would hold back the urges from his stomach or he would be hurt again by the padded track. And at this point, Jerry kept running away from the ice cream flying at him, which, though it tasted good, tasted terribly cold, and so the mousey boy tried to stay out of the way. Then Jerry decided to go back to the old tactic: using the tactic itself! Mousey found a piece of cheese in one of the "discarded" refrigerators on the market and left it next to one of the tables. Jerry was counting on the predictability of his clone's behavior, and with one eye on whether or not it came up. Mousey had already prepared his hammer to hit the clone... But then he received a soft blow to the head. Jerry turned around and saw his doppelganger, who was wagging his finger.

"Aah!" the clone smirked. "This trick is as old as your ingenuity."

Jerry didn't hesitate to hit the clone with the hammer, making a nail head. The mouse immediately tried to take away the amulet with the orange apple, and as a result, they both began to roll down the path. The clone, to spoil the mouse, created a huge ball of snow, in which Jerry stayed and MelJerry disappeared. Satisfied with his success, the clone clapped his paws and walked back. MelTom had already finished painting a picture of Tom and Jerry sitting on the moon, thinking about something. Jerry's clone had already come up, and with a cheeky face, he leaned his palm on the pole.

"Now this mouse, like the cat, won't be a problem," MelJerry said.

However, MelTom looked at the mouse and saw something missing.

"WHERE ARE THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY?!" MelTom yelled, demanded as he tries to find the Elements of Harmony around him.

MelJerry looked at his neck... And it turned out that he had indeed lost the Honesty Element, and so he shrugged awkwardly. However, he received a hard slap from Tom's clone, from which the mouse fell to the ground, grabbing a small portion with his mouth.

"YOU E-DI-DOT!" said MelTom. "We can't screw up like this, you dummy!"

"I know we can't!" MelJerry replied angrily. "Aren't you a scientist!"

"Oh, really?!" MelTom clapped his hands together. "If you were a scientist, you'd glue that amulet on!"

"Don't let them rip the crown off your skull!" MelJerry replied.

Meanwhile, at the ruins of the ancient castle, Tom was still flying on a pegasus in uniform, and the latter was already infuriated by the cocky cat, who even before the safe zone for landing did not jump off.

"I don't know what you're up to, you flea-bitten scum, but you're gonna jump me sooner or later!" the pony made a threat.

But Tom didn't listen to her and prayed to god that he hadn't lost all nine lives. The mare tried to pull the cat away from her with her hooves, but he was wiggling and wiggling. Completely losing their sense of attention, the mare and the cat crashed into a tree, and together with the cat slowly fell to the ground, like a sheet thrown over the bed. Once down on the ground, the cat was already preparing to run away, but the mare quickly came to her senses, and with equal swiftness got in front of the cat. The cat tried to dodge, but the pegasus grabbed him by the breasts with her hooves...

"Do you have any idea, even with the back of your feline brain, who you've just saddled?!" The mare spoke in a gruff, army tone.

He shook his head.

"Why, of course not. You're a creature of opportunity, just like that mouse! Then you'll remember my name because you'll be hearing it more than once, Spitfire's Captain Wonderbolt. And the fact that you saddled me WITHOUT making a difference, by yourself or not, would be the worst mistake you've ever made!"

The pegasus was about to hoof it in the face when the snow came flying at her... Though it was still early for winter, as far as she could remember. Shaking all the snow off her face, a brown mouse was lying on the mare's muzzle.

"Another..." muttered Spitfire. "I can't understand you, are you related?!"

Spitfire brushed the mouse from her face with a hoof, and it fell to the ground with something. Tom was about to run away, but the mare hoofed the fleeing wretch's tail.

"I'm not done with you yet, cat!" Spitfire growled, and then shifted her gaze to the mouse, who had already sensed the wrath of the pegasus, and so covered his amulet as a shield. "And what is this? - The pegasus began to examine the amulet and after a few seconds... "The Elements of Harmony and you're trying to steal, aren't you? I will slowly strangle you for stealing such an artifact, once I inform Rainbow Dash about this!"

And once again Tom and Jerry found themselves in trouble, although Tom had already been booked a long time ago, only he had not yet managed to get a "death certificate". And Jerry... No comment. To keep the pegagsus from catching up with him and his friend, he decided to shoot a snowball at the filly. With an accurate hit to her face, the cat and mouse ran backward.

"Oh, I've never let a pony get away so easily..." Spitfire's voice sounded like a cat hissing. "I'll make a brûlée cat and a soufflé mouse out of you two!"

Again this forest, and again the same wolves met the cat and mouse. Jerry decided to climb a tree, however, Tom followed the same tactic. And already in the trees the cat and mouse headed further. The main thing is not to fall down, otherwise, it will be the same, and maybe even worse, than the time when the dog Spike (Tom and Jerry only now thought about the fact that the dog is namesake) was tearing and tearing because Tom "stole" his piece of meat. Seems like a trifling incident, but Tom got quite a few insurance receipts. And Jerry didn't get away with it, because Tom threw him into one of the cannons, which sent the mouse very far, all the way to Italy. He came back the next day, with souvenirs and a cat portrait. Jumping and climbing in the trees continued until...

"Where are you going?!" came the mare's angry cry. - I'm just warming up!

Spitfire was very close to the cat and mouse and was about to give them a good kicking, but Tom and Jerry pulled one of the branches and slapped the lizard in the face. It was a cat and mouse flying over her head from that blow, chasing each other.

"I'll get you anyway..."

And there was ALSO a plan being discussed in Ponyville! Rainbow suggested Fluttershy's "look," but it turns out it could work in reverse. There would be fewer questions if it worked the same way on Discord. As a result, Fluttershy got scared of herself. So then Applejack offered to be clever, and for that, she prepared a good trick... Hiding in a barrel, Applejack tried to get close to the villains, but the plan went awry... Because Applejack forgot about the squeaky toy in the barrel she was hiding in... Then she made a good crow scarecrow.

Then Pinkie decided to try singing against the villains, but her vocal record was jammed, thanks to clone magic, and now she was humming some random gibberish. Rarity didn't want to fly somewhere a second time, but her plan was to attack quietly and unexpectedly, but the element of surprise was lost, thanks to the punk singer, who kept singing nonsense like a record that just cuts. And Rarity became a sunflower, thanks to her dresses, self-taken from her boutique. The plans dried up, but in the process, everyone noticed that one Element of Harmony was gone, which meant Jerry managed to take at least one away.

"Okay, so Tom's clone has the other five," Twilight said. "We have to get them back somehow..."

"Uh-huh... But how?" Rainbow asked. "We've tried lots of ways and it's no use!"

"All, not all, but shhh! "Applejack was freed from her frightening captivity. "But that these guys are too stubborn, that's for sure. Apple Bloom even overpowered, and she begged me after school, to give her a couple of hammers, and nails. I even asked her why, and she..."

"AUK!" Twilight interrupted, holding herself back from snarling. "ALL STORIES, UNTIL NEXT TIME! WE STILL HAVEN'T COME UP WITH ANYTHING!"

"Maybe... they need to... get mad at each other?" Fluttershy suggested.

"And how would we do that?" Rarity asked. "They're too alert and watchful to let their anger call each other obscene words."

"While the idea is a good one," Twilight agreed, "There's a problem... We can't pit them against each other so that they fight each other like cat and mouse."

"And that's because Tom and Jerry are frenemies" Pinkie concluded.

Wait a minute... - Twilight stroked her chin, catching the thought, and a light bulb went on above her head. - "EVERYTHING!"

"The kind that has a light bulb above your head?" Applejack asked, looking at the lightbulb above the unicorn's head.

"What light bulb...?" - Twilight tried to look around and she did see a light bulb. "What the hay..." There was confusion on Twilight's pony face.

"THIS IS THE IDEA!" Pinkie exclaimed. "A light bulb is like a brain with lots of ideas in it! And when the most ingenious one comes along, the lightbulb above her head goes on!"

"Pinkie, what are you talking about?" Rainbow asked, tilting her head to the side.

"I don't know what you mean!" Pinkie answered with a pleased look on her face.

"Anyway, I have an idea!" said Twilight. "And it is as follows..."

In the meantime, Tom and Jerry reached some kind of hut, which resembled the lair of some hermit or aboriginal. The couple tensed up somewhat, really, when an angry pegasus is on his tail, you don't have to choose a hiding place, so the cat and mouse went in there. And inside it turned out to look a lot like a tent for some alchemy specialist, and there were all sorts of scary masks standing in various places in the house. Tom and Jerry already sensed something wrong, and so they were getting ready to leave when a woman's voice called out to them.

"The cat and the mouse have come to me, they have decided to get away from their problems..."

It was a mare who looked like a zebra: the same black and white stripes, not everywhere, but they were there, and she had the couture mark of the old Sun symbol. She also had gold bracelets on her hoof and neck and gold earrings in her ears. She didn't look too scary, but she still made the couple a little scared.

"You two are running away from an angry pony, not in love with being a saddled horse." Asked the mare with rhyme.

Tom and Jerry nodded. They didn't even bother to ask how she guessed.

"I see there's a lot of trouble from you, and you've been getting on everyone's nerves more than once. But all right, I'll hold you to it, I'll need your help a lot."

The cat and the mouse shuddered at these words.

"Do you think you are more likely to be eaten by me, leaving you without everything?" The mare asked. "Then you are mistaken, my dears, the help with the potion was very useful to me. I thought I was going after Apple Bloom, and then you decided to come to me."

The pair were now completely at ease, for if Apple Bloom had been mentioned, then the filly was familiar. But as they pointed their fingers toward the exit, they indicated that they had to hurry because they were expected.

"I'll take you for about five minutes, I won't keep you long, that's for sure." The mare replied, but then she looked at the mouse, who had an amulet with an orange apple on his shoulder. "Do you carry the Elements of Harmony with you? Have you taken it away from the evil brotherhood by wrestling?"

Now Tom and Jerry wanted to know how she knew about it.

"I know what's going on here. Your evil brethren soon want to make sure none of the "kittens" are taken. So I'm brewing a potion now because magic has no effect at all. To finish this potion soon, I need to pull your hair."

Tom and Jerry had no idea why she needed wool, but they decided to give her a few pieces each. She gave them small cups, and tearing off a couple of wools, she carried them in a hoof to the cauldron, where something incredible was brewing. Inside the cauldron was brewing a caustic green slurry that was terribly thick, and so Tom and Jerry tried not to imagine its purpose.

"We should have met at once, and we didn't even say hello once." The mare remarked. "I am Zecora, I live in the forest, and I make potions and amulets."

Tom and Jerry again faced the problem of representation, but...

"I know you, cat and mouse. Tom and Jerry are your names and if you're curious why I know you two, I heard Apple Bloom told me about your antics with Twilight Sparkle and her friends. And now wait a little bit, soon the potion will go with you on the road."

After a few minutes, the potion was finally ready, and it reeked of a very unpleasant stench, reminiscent of slop, and it made my eyes sting. Tom wrinkled his nose at the mere idea of drinking it, and Jerry wanted to run away, but the cat grabbed the mouse and wanted him to drink first. Jerry resisted, but again they were interrupted by Zecora/

"The potion is not tasty at all, and it will be very thoughtless to drink it. You must pour it on your doppelgangers, but only then should you do so when they begin to show anger towards each other, and in such a way that it is worth running away from them afterward. Their magic will be gone, and their wickedness will not come off their hands."

Tom and Jerry could already smell something bad, though it was the smell of the potion itself. Thanking the zebra for her help, the cat and mouse ran on again. Before the cat and mouse could get very far, Spitfire was right there.

"You can't run away from me forever, cat and mouse!" Spitfire shouted. "So you better start praying!"

Spitfire was already in a fight stance, but she was interrupted by a nightstand that came flying in from Ponyville, sniping at the pegasus. Tom and Jerry became alarmed, and so they looked into the nightstand... Captain of the Wonderbolt was in a sort of dazed state.

"I... of you... cut ribbons..." after these words, the pegasus fell out of the nightstand completely senseless.

Tom and Jerry decided not to leave the pegasus here, and so the cat put it on his shoulder. Tom didn't really want to take her with him, though, since she promised him terrible torment at her academy for saddling her. But Jerry reminded him that it would be even worse if anything happened to her. Guess who the suspicion would fall on? Whoever was flying on the back of the pegasus! So Tom didn't argue, so he dutifully carried the pegasus on his back.

Finally, Tom and Jerry reached their friends' hiding place, and it was in an ordinary tent. When Rainbow saw the knocked-out Spitfire, she was very frightened.

"Oh my goodness... What have you done to her, you fiends?!" Rainbow asked in a subdued voice.

"Aw..." Spitfire woke up right on Tom's shoulder. "Where am I...? I don't remember anything..."

"And Tom jumped into the sky and the-" Pinkie was interrupted by a mouse who asked her not to say it.

Tom asked for a good story, and with a gesture of a slashing finger across his neck showed what would happen to him if the official version was told.

Ahhhh... Tom saved you, Spitfire! - Twilight began.

"You crashed into a tree as you were flying here, and he came running in like a hero, giving you CPR and CPR." Rarity continued.

Tom was stunned by what he heard above, and Jerry laughed at such "heroism.

"So that's what it means..." Spitfire digested what she'd heard. "Then... put me down, please..."

Tom lowered the pegasus to the ground, and now he tried not to get close, and Jerry continued to laugh at Tom's resuscitation, and he was not burdened with yanking the mouse by the tail. Quickly explaining the situation, Spitfire remembered her job and immediately flew out of the tent. Tom didn't want to tell what really happened now, instead, he pointed to the Honesty Element, which was now on the mouse's shoulder.

"Great! I've got one!" exclaimed Twilight. "Now guys, listen to the plan as we came up with a plan with the girls."

Tom and Jerry prepared to listen.

"Here's the deal: Discord created your doppelgangers using your wool, which means they still have a part of you. And since you're friends, therefore they're friends with each other. But if you start feeding, then they'll feud, too! They will drive each other down, and then we can take the rest of the Elements of Harmony away from them! All it takes is for you to become enemies again!"

Tom and Jerry approved the plan, but they had their trump card, too. Tom pulled a small bottle of green slop from his "pocket," Tom shook the pony in front of his eyes and opened it. The stinky smell spread throughout the tent. The stench made everyone twist, and Rarity felt nauseous.

"Holy apples, what is that?!" Applejack asked. "It smells like they've been bathed in the garbage a hundred times!"

"It's a 'we don't know what' potion." Jerry pulled out a sheet. "It was given to us by Zecora to douse our clones with, but only if they're feuding. So we can combine our plan!"

"Zecora?" Rainbow wondered. "Does she know the smell of dumps?"

"Ugh!" Pinkie grimaced at another inhalation of that potion. "My nose... And it makes me want to shed a lot of tears."

"You're not the only one..." Rarity kept her mouth shut just to hold her breakfast.

"And what will this potion do to them?" Twilight asked, keeping her nose closed.

"It's supposed to rob our clones of the magic Discord gave them," Tom replied, holding a sheet. "We just need to pit them against each other."

"Oh... I hate to see you two fighting again," Applejack admitted.

"But it won't be for long..." Fluttershy nodded.

Tom and Jerry shrugged.

"Okay..." Twilight said, anticipating an interesting battle. - "Then let's begin."

Chapter 8: Friends as Enemies equals Frenemies!

Tom and Jerry immediately came up with a plan, and set about executing it: they started chasing each other. They decided to leave the Elements of Harmony with the girls for now. After all, it would be safer. And they were going to watch what was going on for the time being, because they decided that they would only get in the way.

Having flown out into the street, Tom at once grabbed his guitar and with an angry face chased the mouse. And Jerry was already gathering ammunition to defend himself against the cat. Tom and Jerry ran by the town hall, as it turned out, and decided to run in there. MilTom and MelJerry were not too far away and immediately sensed bad things. Tom smashed the whole town hall, which was already trashed from top to bottom, just to hit the mouse, but the mouse dodged and threw ice cream in the cat's face. Then the cat grabbed a ribbon and used it as a lasso. But Jerry set up a metal ball from the pole and Tom drew the "gift" to himself, getting a lot of "great" sensations. The mouse ran to the second floor, but the cat somehow got ahead of him and grabbed the mouse.

Tom got his guitar ready and shot the mouse with it like a bow right out the window. Jerry shattered the glass with his head, and flew into the pole, with the Ponyville banner. A good punch in the face was very unpleasant for Jerry, and so he became very angry. MelJerry tore off the banner and went down on it like a parachute. Jerry came up with the most feared weapon of any cat - a toy fish with a firecracker. Finding the toy itself, stuffing it with various firecrackers, he launched the "bomb" right into the town hall. Tom saw the fish fly at him, and finally, smelling his dream, he swallowed the fish without thinking.

With a sense of satisfaction, he plucked a small chip off the board and began brushing his teeth. Then there was a tremendous explosion that destroyed the town hall. All that was left of it was a completely black cat, with somehow still an intact splinter that crumbled in its paw anyway. The answer of anger was not long in coming, so somehow Tom lifted the heavy table and launched it at the mouse standing near the pole, but the mouse deftly dodged, and after landing the table spit out all the cabinets, which flew directly to the clones. And those didn't have time, so their lockers were "hanging" around their necks. The clone's mind was made up, and they started using magic right away, but no matter how hard MelTom and MelJerry tried to stop them, Tom and Jerry continued to sneak up on each other anyway. And as a result, the clones were painfully confronted by a coaster that Twilight had set up. How fortunate, and how timely. During another run around the corner of Ponyville, someone grabbed Jerry to himself, and Tom wondered where the little mouse had gone. Then an anvil fell on him... Tom all flattened out and saw Fluttershy and Jerry sitting on her back.

"That's for locking Rainbow in a barrel, and for my black eye!" After these words, Fluttershy slammed her friend's hoof into her fist, saying, "Let's do this!"

With a cheeky face, Fluttershy flew away with the mouse to another part of the city, and Tom felt as if someone was tying his tail... And it was a dog with a cat tail tied to his paw! The appearance, of course, tried to convince him otherwise, but then the dog barked. With a cry of fear, Tom rushed away from the dog. The cat was still trying to see the catch, but the barking was so convincing (and female?!) that Tom didn't even risk looking back. Suddenly, while running, the dog crashed into the fountain and something flew out of it right into the water with a loud squelch. Tom saw that the dog was fake after all, and Pinkie Pie was lying in the fountain. The cat looked at the pink pony perplexedly, and with anger at the same time.

"Oops... Tee-hee!" The mare chuckled awkwardly. "I think I made a bad joke... Don't be offended, Tom, I didn't mean it."

At that moment, though, a tomato salad flew into the cat. Jerry on the yellow pegasus teased Tom, and Fluttershy also (albeit barely) annoyed the cat with a wry face. Tom thought, though, that the ponies were getting revenge on him, in their way. So he took a pie(!) out of Pinkie Pie's mane and launched it at the teasing couple. With a sniper shot to Fluttershy's face, she began to fall and fell into a thorn bush planted by someone and for some reason. With a wild shriek, the pegasus flew up into the sky, and Jerry was lucky enough to fall on the stem of the bush to avoid being pricked. Tom walked over to the mouse and thought about how to approach him, but at that moment he noticed that MelTom and MelJerry had started doing the same thing, as they exchanged magical ponies, like dousing him with paint and beating him with scepters that had a smiley-face pony head carved into the end.

Afterward, they got into a pawing fight. Along with their fight, Tom wanted to nail the mouse more and more, and the mouse decided to stab the cat with a couple of prickly needles right in the nose. The cat grabbed his nose and Jerry went deep into the bush and now Tom tried to find him there. Really... Rainbow was walking behind him and "accidentally" pushed the cat into the bush. He tried to hold back a cry of pain, but it is impossible to contain such pain in himself, and therefore he flew out of the bush with a bullet.

"Whoops... Sorry, Jerry..." Rainbow said ironically. "I accidentally pushed you. Don't be mad..."

Jerry gave Rainbow a thumbs-up and then headed in the direction of the lavish-looking boutique. Tom pulled out all the needles and then immediately continued his pursuit, but for some reason, there was a piece of cheese in the road between two small bushes and trees. Tom perplexedly picked up the cheese and immediately his feet were pulled upward and he hit a "very tender spot" in pain. The cat squealed in pain like a girl and then fell into a barrel of water. The sufferer pulled his head out of the barrel, but it was instantly covered by orange hooves. Applejack rested her elbow on the lid of the barrel and rested her head on her hoof. With a satisfied muzzle, she looked somewhere in the distance.

"Eh, sugar... Have you ever heard that revenge is a dish that is served cold? Well, get this, Tom, it's nothing personal-just apples."

And then she pulled out a piranha in a jar. With a smirk on her face, she opened the lid, and threw the jar into the barrel, then closed it again, also sitting on top. You could hear Tom squelching in the water, and the piranha eating deliciously. No, Applejack, had no plans to brutally kill the cat, she just decided that sitting idle was no good at all. And to be more exact, the friends agreed to take revenge on the situation, that is, to avenge the cat for the injuries, plus, an additional provocation to the chase. Finally, Tom kicked the lid off the barrel, after all, dropping the orange pony to the ground. All chewed up and with a piranha on his nose, he grabbed it and threw it away. And then he looked at the pony, which was smiling awkwardly.

"Uh... Buddy, don't be mad, I didn't do it on purpose." Applejack didn't want to get it now, for her revenge.

But Tom gently stroked the mare's muzzle, and she liked it... And then, he pawed her nose, grabbed her hind legs, and threw her into her barrel. Tom immediately closed the pony in the barrel, in addition to tying it so that it could not be opened, and he ran on.

"Why is that?" Applejack asked the air. "Why does this cat want me to make a fur coat out of him?"

A few seconds later, Tom was in front of the boutique, and he immediately went inside. Already on the threshold, a pile of garbage was dumped on him. Tom's eyes looked through the doused dirt, at the disgruntled white pony.

"Didn't they teach you to knock?" Rarity asked reproachfully, holding the empty bucket with magic.

And the mouse was already unhappy with this behavior of his opponent, but he shook out all the garbage and also hit the pony.

"AAAAAAHHH! MY BEAUTIFUL FUR! MY LOVELY MANE!" Rarity was beginning to boil with anger. "You'd better run before I catch up with you."

Tom realized what was about to be done to him, and so he ran away from the boutique, but for some reason, Rarity stayed where she was... The pony had the foresight to cover her entire body with a protective film. Thanks to Twilight for the spell prompt. And Jerry nodded his thanks and ran out of the house. Except that Rarity was a little offended...

"Dang you and that cat... I have to clean up now!" Rarity grumbled, as she looked over the garbage on the doorstep and throughout the house.

Tom and Jerry continued the chase, and Twilight stood outside her library and noticed that MelTom and MelJerry were also waging war. Now the second part of the plan could begin, but for some reason, Tom and Jerry weren't even going to get to it. A flaw in the plan reached the purple pony: the couple and their clones are bonded by either soul or wool, but they harbor the same rage. And now, Tom and Jerry won't stop hitting each other until they're sick of it, and MelTom and MelJerry will tear apart all of Ponyville for good, and then take on the rest of Equestria. Another plan was needed, as the friends had gone overboard with their revenge, and now they were a little "busy," but then someone put a paw on her shoulder... And looking at the stranger, Twilight's ears wilted at who she saw...

Tom and Jerry continued their pursuit, in the process shooting down their clones with a shovel and a board from the fence. Getting closer to the library, Tom was suddenly struck in the face. The cat's face was crumpled like a punch, but when he pulled his head out and looked at who he'd hit... He recognized Spike's gray bulldog. With a squeal of fear, Tom tried to run away, but the dog caught the cat by the tail and pulled him toward him.

"Freeze, kitty cat!" Spike commanded. "Where do you think you're going? I didn't even say hello! And where is the mouse?"

Jerry hid behind the nearby Twilight, and when he came out from under her hoof, he pointed a finger at himself, "Me?"

"Yes, you!" Spike answered. "Come here!"

Jerry immediately walked over to Spike, and the latter, holding the cat's tail, stooped down to shake Jerry's paw. Jerry, though perplexed, shook his paw anyway. Twilight was so shocked that she thought she had never been so shocked in her life. She stared at the trio with her mouth ajar and twitching eyes, mentally asking, "Who in the world is this hayseed?"

"I... ur... uh.. excuse me... sir... But do you know them? - Twilight asked, keeping the same look on her face.

"You bet I don't know these two," Spike answered, releasing the cat and setting the mouse on his paw. "They've been outside my yard practically every day. And every time, I slap that cat on its ugly, disgusting face. But today will be considered an exception."

Jerry had already pulled out a heavy cannonball to throw at the cat, but Spike confiscated the weapon.

"Aah!" threatened Spike. "You can't do that!"

And Tom then tried to grab the mouse but was immediately punched in the head by the dog, getting even lower. Tom was buried in the ground, up to Twilight's knees.

"Just try..."

"Wait, how did you end up here?" That was the question Twilight was most concerned about.

"I'm sorry, honey, but I don't think we've introduced ourselves. My name is Spike." The dog extended his paw for a paw shake.

"And I'm Twilight Sparkle," replied Twilight, letting him shake her hoof. "You have a namesake, you know. My first mate's name is Spike, too."

"Flattered," Spike answered proudly. "Now I'll tell you how I got here: I slept in my doghouse last night, though I was waiting for those two to come running again. But for some reason, I didn't see them all day, and as a rule, you can expect them on Fridays. That was a surprise to me. And then..." Spike paused for a second, but then he continued.

"Then the cats started making up rumors about how they hadn't heard or seen Tom since Thursday night. I decided to walk around town, but I couldn't find them. Checked all the dumps and..." Tom, still on the ground, tried to hold back his laughter, because it appeared Spike was worried about him, and Jerry was surprised, too. "Wait for a second..."

Spike turned to the cat and grabbed him by the throat, almost making his eyes pop out of his head. The dog pulled Tom out of the ground and looked at the cat from nose to nose.

"Listen to me, kitty cat! Wandering around junkyards is your landlady's idea, and she's freaking out that you're not here. She's already called animal control because she thinks you and that mouse ran away from her out of spite. That's why I've been looking for you and the mouse. So be thankful I'm being nice now because, under different circumstances, I'd snap your neck." Spike let Tom go, and Jerry decided to keep quiet, too. "Now... Where was I? Oh right, back to the story!"

"Were you wandering around the junkyards?" The dragon Spike came outside and asked.

"Oh, so you're the Dragon of the same name?" Surprised by Spike the Bulldog. "You're kind of young for a dragon."

"He is young, but also a baby dragon." Twilight agreed, with the dog's remark after all.

"Why do you bother?" Spike the dragon groaned. "I'm old enough and I'm not a baby, Twilight!"

"Don't exaggerate. You'd take more of a swipe at a kitten than a dragon." Spike the dog objected.

"Come on." stopped the impending argument with Twilight. "You were just stopping at the dumps."

"Oh, yeah. Well, I realized I couldn't find them, so I decided to look again tomorrow. The next morning, I went looking again, but as I walked down one of the alleys, someone hit me in the head with trash can lids, and I passed out. Then I woke up in some castle and saw two tall mares. One is white with a rainbow mane and the other is dark blue with a bluish mane, and they tell me that Tom and Jerry are here. I almost thought at first that I was delirious, but still, I wasn't. They also told me about what they'd done to your brains here..." Spike chuckled for some reason. "Even about that cat biting your croup along with him and the mouse causing trouble on your friends."

"Yeah..." Twilight looked at Tom with annoyance and anger. "If he didn't have to be rough on me..."

"If you'd known how he bit his old mistress Two-Slippers on the same spot, you'd have laughed when she stroked him with an iron. I'm a witness, this mouse is a witness but you both heard him squeal."

"Heh... I can imagine..." Twilight imagined the picture, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Now, to the point: Princess Celestia and Luna told me what's going on, that cat and mouse clones are running around, that magic doesn't work on them, that it works on Tom and Jerry now, so they teleported me to your Ponyville to help."

"That's right," Twilight remarked. "You were asleep after the hit, which means the princesses had no trouble transporting you here."

"So, where are those two and your Elements of Harmony friends? - Spike asked, looking around the area. "I'll bury these buggers in the ground, sprinkle them with fertilizer, and when they grow up, I'll go over them with a weed whacker..."

"Brutal..." the little dragon said with a little fear.

'It's all right for them." The dog replied. "Believe me, it can be much worse if you want to be in our world, dealing with the cat and mouse."

"Here come our friends!" Twilight exclaimed.

They saw the tall bulldog, and some, particularly Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie, flinched at the sight of the dog.

"Sweet Mother of Celestia!" Rainbow was stunned. "Is that a bulldog?!"

"Why are you all staring at me like that?" Spike the dog asked perplexed. "Have you never seen a bulldog?"

"Well, not like you." Applejack replied.

After a quick introduction and a charge of smacking Tom around for causing additional harm and of course Jerry, especially Fluttershy, everyone immediately started to think.

"What are we going to do?" Fluttershy asked.

"I think Spike the dog could easily approach MelTom and MelJerry." Twilight began. "Since there's no connection to him, I think it would be easy."

"And pour out that potion?" Pinkie asked.

"And here we have to be careful, because if we miss it, then we'll have to prepare for the worst, because of the lack of time for a new potion."

"Don't worry, ladies! I'll take care of these brats! Spike the bulldog exclaimed.

"I must say, you're a terrific gentleman, unlike those two." Rarity pointed at Tom and Jerry, to which they snickered. "Who... well... you get their abysses of course."

"Of course, I am." Spike the dog, unashamedly, leaned over to the mare and took her hoof and kissed it, to which Spike the dragon reacted jealously that a Bulldog impressed the beautiful unicorn.

"Okay buddy, we'll back you up if you need us!" Applejack said.

"Well, I'll be off then." Spike went forward but then turned around to know about Tom and Jerry's clones. "Where are they?"

Meanwhile, Tom and Jerry's clones were once again fighting in the center of the city, tearing things apart. It was slowly descending evening outside, but it was still bright enough. They were in a terrible rage and wanted to tear each other's throats out. MelTom still had the Elements of Harmony to himself, but he was no longer thinking about how to protect them. He wanted to nail the mouse by any means necessary.

"Has anyone ever told you you're an idiot?!" MelTom asked, hitting Jerry's clone in the head with a frying pan.

"You've told me that before! Try something else!" MelJerry replied, charging the bat into Tom's clone's face. He grabbed the mouse and looked him straight in the eye.

"Do you know that Diskord trusts us, and what will happen to us if we let him down?!"

"I know, you idiot! And that's why we need to get rid of the cat and the mouse as soon as possible so there's not a single mention of them! And bury those Elements of Harmony where they belong!"

"And now you and I are fighting like cat and mouse over them!"

And while they were arguing, Tom, Jerry, and Spike stood between their muzzles, watching the conversation with a smile.

"I'd rather go to Mainhattan than fight a cat-head like you!" MelJerry blurted out.

"And I'd eat you the first chance I got, but otherwise, our plan would fall apart and we wouldn't get our body and soul!" MelTom replied.

A distinctive "Eckham..." was heard between them, and looking at the source of the sound, the clones were dumbfounded.

"SPIKE?!" MelTom was extremely surprised.

"Surprise, dummies!" Spike grinned, then charged the cat with a direct, powerful punch to the face.

The cat flew with the mouse into another tomato cart. Once out of it, MelTom's eyes got big and red, and MelJerry got a new head.

"Oh... It's been a long time since I hit your cat face Tom." Spike confessed. "Though I've missed it so much I don't know... Maybe I should hit you once, too." Tom covered his head with his hands and gritted his teeth. "Ha-ha-ha, come on, I'm kidding... bye..."

And Jerry was anticipating a good catfight too, but now there are far more interesting guys to beat up. Spike, with a sinister grin, was walking towards the evil couple, and they panicked and tried to do something with this dog, but the magic... to their horrible regret... wasn't working... The dog grabbed the cat and the mouse, and with the same face on them, he glared, taking all the Harmony Elements from the cat along the way.

"What's up, guys?" Spike asked Tom and Jerry. "I suggest we have a little fun..."

The Elements of Harmony, and then the rest of Ponyville came to watch the spectacle: a cat, a mouse, and a dog beating up an evil cat and a mouse. Spike performed a wrestling move in which he wrapped his paws around MelTom, flew up into the air with him, and fell to the ground, crushing him with his whole body. Jerry punched his clone like a punching bag, and he just didn't have time to use anything against the mouse, and besides, the Element of Magic was on Jerry and the magic worked weaker. In the end, Jerry is hit with a powerful uppercut, making his clone fly high into the sky. And Tom decided to give the ponies what they so wanted: he took his clone to the crowd and threw it at them.

After patting his paws, he stepped aside to make sure he didn't accidentally get hit. The last blow came with the Mayor of Ponyville's golf club, and now the clone flew back to Tom and fell into a barrel of water. Tom threw a bunch of piranhas in there, and the screams of an unhappy MelTom echoed loud and clear. And MelJerry was about to hook Jerry with magic, but there was a glitch, as the magic weakened, and pulled the mouse toward him, the clone lost control, and then Jerry didn't miss his chance to kick it, "Bruce Lee" style. The clone flew into the garbage can and closed in. There were cheers from the ponies and the Elements of Harmony were happy about that success, too. Spike dragged the clones back and set them on the ground.

"Well, now it's up to the potions!" Spike said.

Tom and Jerry quickly pulled out the bottle and it still reeked of a monstrous stench.

"UGH!" Spike grimaced at that smell. "It smelled like feet that hadn't been washed in a month and multiplied fourfold!"

But it didn't matter, now he had to dump it on the clones. With magnificent ease, this happened. After that, the two began to tremble, and then undergo various metamorphoses, transforming into all sorts of things. Even into Tom's old mistress's knickers. After a few seconds, both dissolved. Again the excited shriek of many ponies echoed throughout Ponyville. The wearers of the Elements of Harmony were relieved, if only for the fact that there was one less problem, but now Discord had to be dealt with.

After that battle...

"People of Ponyville!" Mayor Mare began. "I'd like to thank these three heroes on behalf of the whole town! Tom, Jerry, and Spike, we thank you so much for your help, you've been incredible! Thank you!"

"Come on ma'am," Spike replied. "If some scumbag tries to ruin anyone's life again, including yours, we'll forget about our wars and help you!" Then Spike turned to Tom and Jerry. "I'm right, aren't I?"

To which both nodded. But after a few seconds, for some reason, everything blurred in the trio's eyes and it was as if time had stopped. Discord appeared in the center of the crowd again.

"What a shame," Discord said, sharpening his claws. "You destroyed my Tom and Jerry that I know in love for their wreckless chaotic fun."

"Here's the clown with the pranks in his pocket!" Spike remarked, rubbing his nose with his finger. "Did you know that those two betrayed you?"

"Alas, yes." Discord replied, looking at the two fingers that had Tom and Jerry's clones on them. "They wanted to make a fool of me, but I'm a fool because I've had my fun, that's one, and they've accepted defeat with dignity from you, that's two."

"Now come here, you bearded fool!" Spike blurted out as he rolled up his sleeve. "I'll get you a hospital bill quick!"

"Sorry, bulldog, but I've got other plans." Discord snapped his fingers and the Elements of Harmony carriers appeared next to him, unconscious for some reason.

Tom and Jerry immediately became angry, so they ran at the draconequus without warning, but he disappeared again.

"If you want to help them, let's play a game: it's called "Guessing!" And the riddle is: "You will find the way, in one house, where animals live and fear they lead because her gaze is feared, only not to be caught by it." Good luck! Hahaha!"

Suddenly everything was back to normal, and the ponies were scurrying around town looking for someone. Spike the dragon came running and breathing heavily.

"Our friends are gone!"

Tom and Jerry were fed up with this circus, and they shook hands again to get it over with...

"Well, Discord..." Spike began. These two will make a steak out of you as well as I will... All you have to do is watch out...

Author's Note

This contains some snip bit references from those MLP Pastas when it was translated but with some additions to add in the spin. But at last, I'm almost done with the translation, with one more chapter to finish it off!

Chaper 9: Grand Finale is Coming

Tom and Jerry wandered around the table in the library, trying to solve Discord's riddle. Spikey thought about the riddle, too, but nothing came to mind. Each time this riddle was spun in their heads, "You will find a way, in the one house where the beasts live, and fear they lead, for her gaze they fear, only not to be caught by it."

The question was whom the beasts might fear. And they live in a house, and it turns out that the one who fears is the goal to go. It remains to be guessed who it is. Tom and Jerry came to that conclusion easily, and so they explained it to Spike the dog. The dog was a little surprised by the thinking of these two vermin, but then he turned to Spike the dragon.

"Buddy, listen carefully: it turns out we're looking for the home of some kind of animal tamer, like a circus acrobat or something, and he knows how to make animals stand up and be afraid with his eyes. So, twist in your head who it could be."

"So..." Spike thought for a few seconds, tapping his head in parallel as if trying to knock a hunch out of his head. "Come on, Spike, think!" But as quickly as a comet in space, a thought came to Spike, and a candle flickered over his head. "I've got it!"

"Ahh!" Spike the dog "put out" the candle above Spike the dragon's head with his fingers. "I remember very well Twilight's warning about how, during a situation like this, you manage to lead in your way and negate almost any idea. Tell me honestly, what are you up to?"

"Well..." Spike the dragon hesitated. "Some diamonds. Can't think straight on an empty stomach."

"Is that so?" Spike the dog began to think, in the appropriate style (fingers pistol-whipped, on his chin), and then turned his gaze to Tom and Jerry, a smile creeping across his face.

A few seconds later, Tom was dressed up in his diggers suit - jacket and helmet. Jerry sat in his chest pocket and didn't understand what was about to happen.

"Private Thomas and Private Jerry!" Spike the Dog said, addressed in army style. "Your job is to dig up as many diamonds as you can in the area Citizen Spike tells you to dig up. As soon as he finishes his lunch, help him solve the riddle! Is the task clear?!"

In response, the cat raised his finger to ask, but...

"NO BUTS, SOLDIER! DO AS YOU'RE TOLD! OR I'LL MAKE A BROOM OUT OF YOU AND YOU'LL SWEEP THE FLOORS WITH YOURSELF! THE SAME GOES FOR YOU, PRIVATE MOUSE! GET BACK TO WORK."

Tom unquestioningly 'saluted' his 'commander-in-chief' and together with Jerry headed in the direction of 'who knows where. Spike the dog slapped himself in the face.

"Why does it have to be this harsh?" Spike the dragon asked.

"No reason." Spike the Dog answered. "I still remember when that flea-bitten mouse hunter slipped me dynamite instead of a bone. He remembers exactly what I did to him after that."

"So? Well, did you beat him up and then strap him to a rocket or something and send him skyward?" The little dragon suggested.

"Exactly!" The dog answered. "He remembered such adventure in the sky forever because afterward, he flew into the engine of the plane. It was quite a show..."

"I do not quite understand... What kind of planes?" Spike the dragon asked.

"Oh yes... You don't have such..." Spike-dog came to his senses and scratched the back of his head.

A few seconds later, Tom and Jerry came in with buckets of diamonds, though you could tell they were both exhausted because they were trying to be as fast as possible.

"Here, Spike!" The dog pointed to the pair. "That's how these two work if you give them a good scare."

A few minutes later...

Spike the dragon quickly snacked on the diamonds and immediately set about sorting out the mystery. And Spike the dog was examining the Elements of Harmony while learning their origins and purpose. Tom and Jerry just looked at the approaching sunset, which looked very beautiful in this world... But it would be so if not for Diskord, who just doesn't let you look at this miracle of nature. Finally, the dragon boy solved the riddle, and ran out into the street, indicating to follow him.

Tom, Jerry, and the two Spikes were now near one house, and not far from it hung many birdhouses, and on the other side was a whole zoo. He was now surrounded by all sorts of animals, from bears to birds, and a little white rabbit made a battering ram at all since the absence of a mistress is not good. And then everyone stopped the commotion as they saw the foursome come in. The rabbit immediately looked at Tom and Jerry, and after a few seconds pointed his finger at them and uttered a battle cry. All the animals went on the attack, and Tom and Jerry were scared times more than when a huge boulder rolled behind them on the hike. They ran away immediately but didn't have time to get very far because they were caught up in the same second. And then all that could be heard from the great beating was Tom and Jerry screaming. Spike, the dog didn't understand why at all.

"Because of Tom, Fluttershy got a black eye." Spike the dragon explained. "When she was chasing Tom, she crashed into a booth and left that nasty mark under her eye. We got to her house, by the way."

"Now I see why Tom and Jerry are getting there..." admitted Spike the dog. "Wait, what's the gist of the riddle?"

"How did it sound: we shall find a way in the house alone, where the beasts lead to fear, they are afraid to look, and do not want to be caught by it. Fluttershy has the ability, as it were, to make the animals obey her. To do this, she uses "the look." When she looks at someone pony with those evil eyes, they immediately do what she says. For example, there's that rabbit Angel. She likes to protest, but when she looks at him like that, he stops right away.?

"I don't even want to test it on myself," Spike the dog said.

After a while, the battered and battered Tom and Jerry got out of the struggle zone and quickly jumped out onto the roof of the house. They climbed up through the chimney stack and started looking for something to feed all these beasts, or else they would be eaten alive. In a flash, the cat and mouse hopped on shelves and the refrigerator to get everything out of there and tossed it outside. Now the animals could at least untie themselves, and they could let the Spikes into the house in peace. Now the logical question remained: where was this passage. But the answer came immediately.

All right, lads!" Spike the Dog approached Tom and Jerry. "Put on your Harmony Elements! They have bodily memory. That is, they remember who their owners are and can work as radars. I say this because Diskord might have separated them somehow, so we need to be careful. Put them on!"

Tom put on the Elements of Honesty and Generosity; Jerry, on his shoulders, the Elements of Loyalty and Laughter (it was a bit heavy but bearable); Spike, the rest, the Elements of Kindness and Magic. After that, they felt the magic pierce through their bodies, and the Elements formed a rainbow bond. The animals flew up into the sky, the bond remained unbreakable, and then they were enveloped in a rainbow sphere. Then a bright flash hit, causing the dragon to close its eyes. And then, the magic stopped the connection, and the orb sank to the ground. As it dissolved, something incredible appeared before the dragon's eyes... Tom had a horn on his head like a unicorn, the same color, and the cat was also a little stronger, as his muscle mass appeared to have grown a little. Jerry had the same brown wings behind his back, and the ability to move quickly from one point to another. And Spike the dog combined the two bonuses: the wings and the horn on his head were both prominent on the dog, making him look like an Alicorn.

"Woah..." Spike the dragon was delighted.

"Wow, that sounds like something I'd like," Spike the dog remarked as he examined his newfound wings and horn.

Jerry immediately remembered that the Element of Laughter belonged to Pinkie Pie, so he decided to try something... He pulled out a huge sledgehammer with a pie-like striker from somewhere and delivered a hard blow to Tom's head, pushing him to the ground, but his shoulder-length paws kept their position. Then Tom immediately stood up, and launched a ball of ice from his horn, turning Jerry into ice. Slightly proud of his success, he was kicked in the leg by Spike the dog, and shrieking in pain with his tongue out, the dog silenced the cat with a kick to the head, forcing him to bite his tongue. Spike the dragon laughed a little at such a short battle, but then stopped, or else he'd get it too. The dog unfroze the mouse, and took it in his paw, then and by the cat's scruff.

"All right, puss and mouse," Spike began to say. "We have to save the girls from Discord's clutches now, and we're not going to fight now! The next time either one of you two starts a race in front of me, I'll leave a request for Princess Celestia to send you to the moon." Spike pointed to the rising moon in the sky. "And you'll spend another decade there. Do I make myself clear?"

Both nodded unreservedly.

"Now you, Spike." The dog said to the dragon. "You go back to the library and tell Celestia that we're going after the Elements of Harmony carriers."

"But I want to help, too!" Spike the dragon objected. "Because Twilight's my friend..."

"And I also know that you love Rarity since you kinda got jealous that you saw me kiss her hooves right?" the dog replied.

The dragon's eyes became the size of a saucer, because nopony except his friends, not counting Rarity herself, knew about his hidden love, and then suddenly the alien man finds out about it. And Tom and Jerry, upon hearing this, start laughing out loud.

"HOW DID YOU KNOW?!" the dragon boy asked in amazement.

"There's a blabbermouth..." The dog said with a smirk. "I guess she's not safe to be trusted with any secrets... And I think you know who I mean..."

"Twilight..." Spike guessed. "Only she... The Pinke Oath..".

"Don't be too angry, my dragon friend," Spike the dog reassured him. "Better go back to the library and write it to Celestia."

"Just don't tell Rarity, please!" the dragon boy asked.

"We won't!" The dog swore, but he noticed that the pair was still laughing, so he used magic to set both of their tails on fire, causing them to jump up. After stroking the fifth zone, they too ran their hands over their chests and raised a paw upward.

"No! Pinkie Promise!" Spike the dragon asked.

"Don't be cheeky!" Spike the dog replied sternly. "We know how to keep our mouths shut, well, at least I do, but if those two crack up, I'll personally make sure there's nothing else they can say."

"Okay..." Spike exhaled. "But..."

"Not a word to her, we get it. Now run!"

Spike the dragon left the house as quickly as possible. Time to go finds his girlfriends. As Spike had hoped, the Elements of Harmony created beams according to the color of their bearers. They pointed to a picture with two butterflies in the clouds and a rainbow in the background. The trio walked over there and got ready for something incredible to happen.

"What's up, guys? Ready?" Spike asked.

Tom and Jerry nodded.

"Then let's go!"

All three of them jumped into the picture and they just walked through it, finding themselves in the middle of nowhere... Tom, Jerry, and Spike's final battle with Discord was about to begin...

The trio found themselves in some surreal world of too many different colors, sugar-water clouds and chocolate rain, all sorts of goodness flying by and nearly killing Tom, and a path ahead, across a long chessboard floor. And it was all at a great height! But if this is the kind of world that Discord wants Equestria to be, it makes sense and makes sense.

"Let's not dawdle, boys!" Spike said. "Let's go, now!"

The trio walked down that chess path, but it felt as if it was stretching with each new step... although it was just as Discord had probably decided to mock it. So when the cat, mouse, and dog got tired of walking down the path, she launched the trio straight toward the rectangular floor with three forks. After landing, quickly brushing the floor dust off their tongues, the trio looked at the forks, and above them, two Elements bearers were indicated. In one fork, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie; in the second, Applejack and Rarity; and in the last, Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle. Diskord seemed to think the guys would guess the humor on their own since he didn't give any indication of his existence. So the cat, the dog, and the mouse decided to split up accordingly. It was, of course, unpleasant to divide into sides, but there was no other option, as it were. So calmly and patiently, everyone went their separate ways.

Spike walked this way for five minutes, and then he was in an empty forest. Listening carefully and following the directions of the Elements of Magic and Kindness, the dog continued walking forward. Than the Elements "turned off" and now it was unclear where to go and what to do. Then a low whisper came from nowhere, almost sending shivers down Spike's spine/

"You... don't... need... help...?"

Spike turned around at the voice coming from behind him. Something was moving in the bushes, and the dog held himself in his paws and slowly approached a lone bush... As suddenly Twilight jumped out from behind it, looking eerily insane. Her mane and tail were ragged, her face was smiling almost up to her ears, and her pupils were very small and her eye was twitching nervously.

"Hey..." Twilight began. "I... don't have much time... I have to... write a report to the PRINCESS OF THE CELEBRITY, about WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT FRIENDSHIP TODAY!" Twilight's eye twitched again, and it frightened Spike.

"Twilight, what are you doing?" Spike asked, sitting down in front of her face level.

"I'm what, nothing! I DON'T WANT TO BE IN FRONT OF THE KIDS!" Twilight's voice sounded like a growl and a frenzy of confusion.

"Why would Princess Celestia send you to kindergarten?" Spike asked perplexed, though he was just making conversation, knowing full well that there was something wrong with Twilight. "You're too old for kindergarten."

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SHE CAN DO!"- Twilight looked like a psychopath, at least that's what Spike thought.

"WHERE?! WHERE ARE ALL THE ANIMALS?!" came another voice, much scarier than Twilight's, though very gentle. "YOU'LL STILL LOVE ME!"

And it was Fluttershy, in a green dress with the same shabby mane and tail. It was as if someone had bitten her in the ass and now she wanted revenge. Although Twilight has had it before...

"Ah! There you are, little doggy... Come here... I'll pet you... I'll feed you..."

"There seems to be trouble with you all," Spike shook his head. "Well, what am I supposed to do with you?"

Tom was already on his way to his destination. Ahead of him, he saw a pile of ponikens, with dresses dressed on them, baskets of the usual apples, and some kind of rainbow, but long since rotted. Tom already had a premonition of bad things to come, so be prepared for a fight.

"What a creature you are... Nasty..." said somepony's voice, though he resembled someone.

Amid all the apples and ponikens there was a luxurious chair, and on it sat Rarity, but in a cloak, and with a crown on her head, like a queen. She looked at Tom with undisguised disgust.

"I am Princess Platinum, and you dare not insult my taste in a dress with your disgusting appearance!"

"How dare such a creature as you even show your face here!" said Applejack, who had already appeared and looked much different...

She was no longer wearing a hat, but a very nice lattice dress, with a mane that looked like it had been done by a good hairdresser, and she had a face that was... It's hard to describe, but like any fashionable pony. Tom could just about feel the danger, but even more...

"Now we'll wash you... clean you... and you'll be the most beautiful creature in all of Equestria..." Rarity, or Princess Platinum, had a bar of soap and shampoo ready.

"There's no doubt about it..." A frantic smile crept across Applejack's face.

Tom realized it was going to be very tight...

Jerry was a bit tense, but he kept walking forward. Then he came to Sugar Corner again, where he could hear Pinkie Pie talking, and in several voices. There, at the end of the darkroom, was Pinkie Pie, but her mane and tail were loose, and she was whispering something to herself. Next to her stood a pile of stones, a bucket of turnips, a bag of flour, and a small pile of fiber... The mouse was not afraid of it, especially since he had seen how Pinkie Pie is cheerful, and here she is very sad... or strange...

"They're my friends..." Pinkie Pie whispered. "But their number had fallen out a long time ago..."

Pinkie Pie turned sharply and saw Jerry, whose soul crawled in his heels.

"Wow... Cupcakes..." Pinkie Pie was surprised. "Come here mousey... You're going to be a very tasty muffin..."

Jerry immediately flew up into the sky frightened by the filly, but immediately someone's hoof hit him in the head from the air, and so he flew back down. Crashing into a pile of rocks, Jerry recovered immediately and heard another voice...

"The mouse isn't going to do much good, but it'll make a great cupcake." Rainbow Dash descended, only she was wearing a doctor's robe, and she looked quite frightening... Maybe because of the dark scarlet marks on it?

"Need I remind you what I did to you, Rainbow Dash?" Pinkie Pie asked with a smirk, pointing her scalpel at her.

"Just get your scalpel out of my face!" Rainbow Dash asked. "Otherwise, I'll have to borrow some blood from you for the rainbow spectrum."

Jerry got even more scared because this was something crazy! Diskord seemed completely insane! But suddenly time stopped... And Jerry could move... He looked again at the crazy ponies, who were standing as if frozen, as suddenly with two hooves someone grabbed him and pulled him to himself...

It was a normal Pinkie Pie who was holding the remote from... what?! in her teeth?!

"Hello there! Dear readers, I know what you're thinking, but no, the author didn't mean anything like that. Sure, it's Pinkamina from those stupid Cupcakes and Rainbow Factories of the dreamers... Dashy. But don't get any ideas, Author..."

"STOP!" the author, intervened. "I don't get how... Pinkie Pie, what ear? I..."

"Uh-huh... Of course... You want to say there's no violence here, but you know... You describe it in a way that makes it hard to believe you! I'm defending you, otherwise, if you get a review, it's not going to be kind."

Jerry didn't understand what was going on at all, and looking at Pinkie Pie, asked her to explain what that meant.

"It was supposed to mean..."

"Wait a minute," Rainbow Dash said, running out of nowhere. "Pinkie, Do you wonder what this is all about."

"The Fourth Wall," Pinky answered.

"You're doing it again, Pinkie Pie?" Rainbow asked glumly.

Jerry realized what was meant by the fourth wall, but he was unclear about the evil ponies.

"Pinkamina here, from fanfic called Cupcakes (DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE A STRONG STOMACH). It's extremely nasty, but you can't even read it! And what's more, they made me look disgusting in it!"

"What color?" Rainbow asked.

"WHY ARE YOU YELLING, I DON'T UNDERSTAND!?" The voice was outraged again.

"Wait a second..." Pinkie turned to the mouse with a cheerful face. "Jerry, is a friend, tie-up Author."

"Wait, Wha-" but the narrator's mouth was covered with a rag, and Pinkie tied the author up to a chair, so it could only type.

"Well, here's the thing: in so much color, Rainbow Dash, that you wouldn't consider me a friend. I don't know who wrote that about me, but... Nevermind."

"Okay... this is defiantly weirder than I thought... But, who's my evil variation?" Rainbow asked, pointing to her evil copy.

"And that's you, from the Rainbow Factories. Also unpleasant to read because of the so-called "Pasta" story because it's from those fanfics who have some weird fantasies... Oh, plus you're the villain there from it."

"What?!" Rainbow was surprised. "I'm a villain from that... crummy fanfic?! Have you all lost your minds?"

"I don't know, Rainbow..." Pinkie replied.

But Jerry was curious to know what Discord had to do with it, even if, how did Discord get those evil counterparts of Pinkie and Rainbow. Why would he drag some evil and cruel version of Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash here from another dimension, even if it's written by fiction?

"Because it has nothing to do with Discord. The Author's having a creative crisis... unless somepony is translating it to a different langue so that it can be readable."

"Don't be ridiculous! I wrote it down and somepony is helping out with the English version here but tries to not tie in those fics together!" The author muttered as his gag just came off by itself.

"And he decided to insert these evil variations of us here."

And why do we need to know that?" Rainbow asked perplexedly.

"We won't remember it for long, Rainbow. We'll forget it in a little while. I'll just be a second..."

After that, Pinkie Pie crawled out from behind the monitor screen, put her hooves on the keyboard, and looked at the author with frowning eyes.

"Stop. making. references. to. these. horrors. movies! There's nothing good in them, and Tom and Jerry have nothing to do with it!"

"What do you mean, how does this story have nothing to do with Tom & Jerry? What the? Huh!?" "The author complained. "They write all kinds of horror stories about them, too, as well as yours."

"ENOUGH!"

SYSTEM FAILURE! ERROR.
CAUSE: EXCESSIVE DESTRUCTION OF THE FOURTH WALL AND ABSOLUTE NONSENSE!
TASK: REBOOT THE SYSTEM AND CONTINUE WRITING THE FANFIC!
SECONDARY TASK: MEET FEWER REFERENCES IN GAMES!
THIRD-ORDER TASK: GOOD HUMOR AT LEAST IN THE LATTER PARTS!
"WHAT'S HERE!" TASK: READ LESS ANGST AND HORROR!

Jerry walked into the room and saw Pinkie Pie, who was wearing a black robe and a top hat on her head. She laughed wickedly when she saw the mouse.

"MUA-HA-HA-HA-HA! I'll turn you into my pet!" The villainous Pinkie Pie shouted.

"Target detected: proceed to exterminate!" Rainbow Dash, the cyborg, emerged from the darkness.

Jerry swallowed with fear and now he had to try very hard to keep them from defeating him.

"The degree of delirium seems to have reached its peak..." Princess Luna remarked as she read this part.

"And you too, Princess Luba." still bound, I replied. "Although I agree, there's some truth to it..."

"Look out!" Princess Luna shouted to someone in front of her.

"Oh, dear..." The author worried, "Now what?"

Chapter 10: Ends in ends, and yet it happens... on a Happy Ending

Spike was still in the "dark forest" trying to fight back with his magic and tactics, but as a gentleman, he didn't dare lay a finger on the girls, much less the ponies. So he had to fight back because Twilight VERY much needed help and Fluttershy VERY much wanted to pet this doggie. So Spike decided to cheat. He soared into the air with his wings and hid behind one of the trees. Fluttershy immediately flew after the dog, but he vanished into thin air. And the dog just dodged and hid in a tree, itself using magic, and after the pegasus flew away, who repeated his "threat," he climbed out of the tree, but Twilight was waiting for him on the ground.

"So can I help you?!" Twilight asked, still twitching her eye.

"No!" after that, Spike poured a bucket of chocolate on the unicorn and ran off on his own. (No, Spike could have put the bucket on his head too, but then again, he's a gentleman!)

Spike, running away from Twilight, didn't even notice how Fluttershy was ahead of him and was now standing across from the dog. With a fierce muzzle, but with very gentle caresses, Fluttershy approached Spike slowly and sneakily.

"Don't be afraid," Fluttershy hissed softly. "I won't... hurt you... I just want to pet you..."

Though such caresses seemed to Spike the height of torture, especially when this pony was so evil.

"LOOK! THERE'S ANGEL!" Spike pointed behind her back.

"WHERE?!" Fluttershy turned around to see where her beloved rabbit was, but he was nowhere to be found, and when she turned back, the dog was gone as well.

Fluttershy was now at the peak of her rage and having accumulated maximum rage, she screamed so loud and strong that it felt as if it was not a scream, but a bomb explosion. And that same "explosion" wiped out the entire forest, leaving not a single tree behind. And Spike was covered by a small bush that didn't disguise him all that well. Fluttershy wanted more and more to "fondle" the doggie, and Twilight wanted to help. Then, Spike decided to use trickery...

"Hey, Twilight! I need your help!"

"WHAT?!" surprised Twilight. "WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?"

"Make sure Fluttershy doesn't come near me!" Spike asked.

"Just a second...!" Twilight grabbed Fluttershy's magic and started running away from the dog.

Fluttershy resisted stubbornly, and Spike was amused to watch the action. Eventually, Twilight stopped running and thought for a second... Fluttershy was still under the magic and she couldn't get out of it, and Twilight turned to Spike...

"Spike!" There was a look of calm and surprise on Twilight's face. "You... accepted my help...?"

"Well... yes." Spike answered. "Why?"

"LET ME OUT!" Fluttershy screamed. "I want that doggie!"

"I remember the day I was scared Princess Celestia would send me to kindergarten." Twilight continued. "I wrote her reports every week, and the last time, I just didn't have anything to write about. And then I decided to create the problem myself so that I could solve it "amicably"... And it was more of a dumb thing to do."

"What's that got to do with me?" Spike asked.

"I thought I could solve my friends' problems that day, but they weren't, and I was, and they didn't stop me from my worse attempt at a princess report."

"So you've got something new that you couldn't get then?" Spike asked again, completely missing the point of what she was saying."

"It turns out that..."

"STOP HOLDING ME HERE! LET ME OUT!" yelled Fluttershy.

"Oh wait..." Twilight replied. "I think... Spike! You have to let Fluttershy come to you!"

'Are you sure?" Spike clarified cautiously.

"Yes! I came to my senses after you let me help, Fluttershy wanted to see the different animals in Celestia's garden at the Grand Galopin Gala, but they ran away from her instead. I think if you give her what she wanted, she can be normal."

“Oh Goodness..." whimpered Spike.

Meanwhile… Tom, was trying to save himself from the soap therapy courtesy of the two fancy ponies. The cat hid in one of the baskets of rotten apples, and so the two ponies dashed past. Tom was covered in a distinct stench, and so the two ponies knew at once where the foul odor was coming from.

“Uncivilized, indecent, unscrupulous, and shameless cat! - Rarity (Princess Platinum) cursed. “A bath won't be enough for you!”

“He'll embarrass all of Equestria without even trying!” Applejack continued.

A rotten apple flew into Applejack's face, making Rarity laugh. The former immediately reacted to the latter's laughter.

“Do you want me to smear you, too?” Applejack gathered the remains of the apple from her face into her hoof and prepared to launch it at the unicorn.

“Wait, wait, no!” But the pleas were not heeded, for Rarity was not in time. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! MY FACE!”

And while the two ponies were dealing with each other, Tom decided to make ammunition from the simple apples that were hanging from the trees. (Didn't Applejack mention that the chase was at Sweet Apple Farm, which looks like a luxury pavilion?) The cat didn't know how he would go about knocking down those apples and what to collect them in, since all the apple baskets were stocked. What are we talking about, though! I mean, he has magic! So Tom easily picked up all the rotten apples and threw them in the dumpster and then started knocking the apples down with his power. Applejack, who cornered Rarity with a dueling slap, saw Tom knocking down the apples, and it was like an epiphany came to her.

“Sugar... Apple cider... Thunderblocks..." Applejack shook her head. - What hay! Why am I in this dress!

“What's the matter with you Applejack? Did you forget somethin-?” Rarity frowned.

“Shut up for a second! - Applejack interrupted, “gagged" Rarity's mouth with a flying ripe apple.

Applejack wondered why the epiphany came to her only now, and she realized... Tom was already up in arms at full speed, but Applejack stopped him:

“Wait a minute, Sugar! I think I know what the humor is!”

Tom still wasn't sure, but she called him "Sugar" and spoke in her appropriate style, which meant she could be listened to.

“I remembered how I once tried to harvest an entire apple crop by myself, without help, but my pride wouldn't let me even ask anyone else for help. So I kept on working, working my hooves off. And eventually, I came up with this... well, you see. Although, of course, it was Discord who brainwashed us... only in a different way. But that's not the point, thank you Sugarcane, you got us out of trouble. But what about Rarity?”

“That’s an outrage!” Rarity muttered. “How dare you shut me up!”

“I'll gag you again if you don't let me finish.” Applejack replied as she prepared another apple and then turned to Tom again. “I think you need to kiss her, Sugarcube.”

At this conclusion, Rarity was dumbfounded, and Tom dropped all the apples and looked at Applejack in surprise. Then Tom pointed his finger at himself and then at Rarity, as if to say, "Me, kiss her?" and then threw his paws around asking "Why?"

“Because there's a story... It's very long, so I'll tell you briefly. It happened at the Grand Galloping Gala. My friends and I had all gone there to have fun. Rarity was expecting to see a cavalier and a stallion in the same prince, but it backfired when the Stallion she was in love turned out that he used her for his convenience. So, you have to give her what she wants: a studded kissing if you mind.”

“Applejack, are you SERIOUS!?” Rarity objected, indignantly. “I can't kiss a disgusting cat!”

But Tom, either too sure or feels ridiculous, but in a second he was well-coiffed, washed, in a very luxurious suite, and reeking of delicious perfume. Rarity was aghast at the sight of this stallion...

“Holy Celestia..." It was as if Rarity were enchanted. "He is so beautiful..."

Rarity quickly snuggled up to the cat, and hoof stroked his head. Although Tom was pleased to be stroked, the downside of the situation was that it was done by a pony who was ready for...

“Come on... Kiss me, mon cher..." Rarity had already extended her lips for a kiss, as Tom really didn't want to do it, but Applejack tells the main motivation.

"Come on sugar, there's no other way." Applejack sheepishly said.

"And how do you know that's the only way?" - Tom asked with a sign.

“Well, from the barrel of course?” Applejack smirked with improvisation.

Still, Tom swallowed and therefore prepared himself for the kiss... Especially since he remembered that she is already loved by one beau... But because except for him, and probably friends and girlfriends, will not know about it... And in one microsecond, the kiss of a pony and a cat was a sight... In some sense of the word...

Jerry tried to avoid the cannon shells of the cyborg Rainbow Dash, who wanted to make a glorious barbecue out of the mouse. And Pinkie Pie, the "classic example of a villain," continued to watch with laughter as she assembled some kind of mousetrap. Jerry used all sorts of trickery, even pouring water on Rainbow Dash, but it had no effect like any other robot. Pinkie Pie had already pulled out her ingenious trap and, with the same villainous laughter, put cheese in the mousetrap, which looked just like any other... (Very creative, isn't it?) But the cheese just kept beckoning the mouse, who is very particular about such a cheesy gift. Once close to the cheese, the mouse deftly and with no problem, pulled the cheese out, and began to scurry away further. And Pinkie Pie was surprised that the mousetrap didn't work, and she put her nose on it... I think I don't need to describe what that pain was... And Jerry was running all over Sugar Corner, dodging lasers and electric bombs. Eventually, he found himself trapped in a dead-end. Cyborg Rainbow Dash prepared to catch the mouse. But... a cornered mouse doesn't fight back.

Pinkie Pie has prepared a new trap for the mouse. Like a classic villain, she had prepared a cross for him and above the cross a big piano... It seems Pinkie Pie was very confident of her success. And when the mouse flew very close to the cross, the villain yanked the rope and the piano fell... on the pegasus... With a loud musical chord, the piano bumped into the ground. Rainbow Dash crawled out of the piano with a couple of keys in her teeth and a mouse with wings flying over her head. The best way to convey who Pinkie Pie was was to give her a pink round sign on her face that said "Baloney," and to accompany it with some mocking trumpet play. Jerry hid under the table, and couldn't figure out how he could reassure Pinkie and Rainbow, so he decided to risk convincing his friend of her kindness.

But a more appropriate moment had to be found. And that moment was when Rainbow started looking for a mouse in the refrigerator and got a freezer... Kindly prepared for the mouse, not for the cyborg pegasus. Jerry saw a bag of flour on the shelf next to Pinkie Pie, and with the help of his wings, the mouse flew toward the bag. With no problem and at the speed of light, the mouse untied the bag and all the flour spilled out on the villain, and to finally deprive Pinky of the ability to do anything, the mouse provoked her to chase. (Provoking is an understatement - he teased her and made faces at her...) The mouse took the provocation and chased the mouse, and the mouse flew into the bathroom, but the villain, remembering that she was in flour, did not enter the bathroom... However, the mouse did not need to, because the water started pouring from the bathroom. Jerry pointed the hose at the pony and now she was taking a lot of water on her body. Then she turned into a huge pile of dough. Jerry started looking for the pony in that pile, and finally figuring out where she was, he pulled out Pinky's face, which was sad.

"Why... Why did the little mouse beat me?"

Jerry pulled out a sign with a picture of Jerry and Pinky cleaning up at Sugar Corner. Then another one of Pinky and Jerry walking through Ponyville together. And a third one where they think together about how to help Tom and stop Twilight. Pinkie looked at these pictures and remembered how she and the mouse helped Tom out of trouble, how she mentally supported the guys in the courtroom, and even the moment when she tied Tom's tail to the dog on wheels, and he ran away from her. From this flood of memories, Pinky broke out of her test captivity and hugged Jerry very tightly. He was afraid she would crush him in such an embrace.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you” Pinkie thanked her friend. “You helped me get myself back! I'm going to make a huge cheesecake for you, the tastiest of the tastiest!”

Jerry was already dreaming, and Rainbow Cyborg, was still frozen and oblivious. Pinkie Pie knew how to wake up the true Rainbow Dash. Suffice it to say how Pinkie Pie's birthday party was when she decided that "her friends were lying to her and avoiding her because they didn't like her parties and that they didn't want to be her friends anymore." Pinky remembers this story so well...

Everyone went back to the fork and the result was that Spike was very scared and beaten because Fluttershy was "very affectionate" toward a member of the canine family. Rarity was still brushing her tongue after kissing the cat. And Jerry, Pinky, and Dash were just surprised at what they were now observing.

“What happened to you guys?” Rainbow asked.

“Well..." Twilight began, looking at Spike. “Spike wasn't happy to be in the arms of Fluttershy.”

“Don't exaggerate,” Spike asked. “It was very painful and merciless.”

“I'm so sorry, Spike..." Fluttershy apologized. “I really didn't mean to hurt you...”

“Fine..." Spike waved his paw. “I didn't hurt her.”

“And what about Rarity?” Pinkie asked but also teased her. “You seemed to kissed a naughty bad pony, huh?”

“Don't… ever… ask..." Rarity hissed, through her gritted teeth. “I'll have to speak with Applejack when we get back together from Discord’s games!”

“To get her out of the spell, Tom kissed her and Rarity was all over it.”Applejack replied and teased with a smirk.

Everyone laughed loudly and wildly after that (except Fluttershy), Jerry and Spike laughed to death, and Tom was a little embarrassed. Rarity growled at Applejack over that… certain kiss she did.

“Kissing a cat was truly disgusting!” Rarity muttered, but still disgusted by the kiss. “I don't even ask myself why I did it!”

“Because he's a cool stud..." Applejack remarked, “And the same way that you called a Rock’s name ‘Tom’ when you thought it was a giant diamond.

The rest ended up laughing harder, even Tom, Jerry, and Spike were surprised that they didn’t knew Rarity used to be in-loved with a giant rock (even if her vision was a Giant Diamond) when Discord at the time brainwashed her when he tried to takeover Equestria after his escape from the stone.

“Applejack!!!” Shouted Rarity, pointing her hoof at the pony in a hat. “Don’t even think get on my nerves and need I remind you to never speak about that again?!”

“Don't be so rude, Rarity!” Fluttershy told her off. “They were just playing along with the joke.”

“What about you two?” Twilight asked Rainbow and Pinky.

“We're alright,” Rainbow answered. “Except for the piano that fell on me.”

“I accidentally..." Pinkie said, smiling awkwardly.

And Jerry just shrugged.

“Am I, anyways, watching the Elements of Harmony on you?” Twilight asked. “And are they working?”

“As you can see, yes,” Spike answered. “Do I look like an Alicorn?”

“Yes, you do.” Applejack replied.

“And did they tell you where we were?” Pinkie asked.

Tom and Jerry nodded and showed what they could do: Tom used magic and Jerry used a couple of tricks with wings.

“Cool” Rainbow evaluated.

“Yay!” Fluttershy rejoiced, though not quite to the point of shouting.

“Oh, that's wonderful!” Rarity remarked, forgetting about the kiss for a moment.

“You... I have no words..." Twilight awed, because she really had nothing to say.

"So, now what?” Fluttershy asked.

Suddenly the forks disappeared, and a huge hall without walls or ceiling appeared. At the front there was Discord, seated on a throne, looking up at them with a contented face.

“Congratulations, my fellow contestants!” Discord began. “You are good to go! You made it all the way here and saved your friends, I'm impressed how you it so far!”

“Now get out of these shenanigans and get over here!” Spike was already flexing his fists for the fight, and so were Tom and Jerry.

“What? In a hurry you say? Discord said, and then snapped his fingers. “It’s only just the beginning bulldog.”

Dark variations of dogs, cats, and mice formed throughout the room. Those looked aggressive and so the trio expected a heated battle. But...

“Discord!” Fluttershy said. “Why can't you just stop on this nonsense? I reformed you ever since you got out of your stoned prison!”

“Oh come on, Fluttershy, I'm still bored, and it's not every time you see comedy like this in this world..." Discord muttered, and then he had micro-variants of Tom and Jerry running through his body. “I love it when they make a mess of each other... This farce, and a huge pile of buffoonery, strikes my brain to its root. And it makes me laugh! You wouldn't deny it, would you?”

All the ponies looked at each other because Discord is right: these guys may cripple each other due to their antics, but they do it since Discord finds it funny.

"That's right." Discord continued, and after a second he blew away the running micro-cat and micro-mouse. "That's why I brought them here because I want to laugh at the cat and mouse’s nature of their antics and rivalry!"

“You mean you wanted to laugh at us seeing the cat and mouse to fight each other for decades?” Applejack asked angrily.

“Because these guys tortured us, and we weren't amused. There!" Rainbow pointed out."Even Fluttershy has a black eye right now! Yeah, they are trouble, but they have remorse too you know that don’t you?”

“And thanks to you, Discord, now I’ll have to brush my teeth and clean my lips everyday now because I KISSED A DISGUSTING CAT!!!” Rarity pointed out, but yelled at that kissing part. “Your idea has gone to the point of absurdity, and now innocent creatures are suffering!”

“And it's not right in the first place!” Pinkie continued. “These guys are like that by their nature! A mouse, then a cat, and then a dog! And they could be friends if they wanted to be!”

"But they can't because that's their nature." Fluttershy picked up on that. “Of course, they can't be friends with each other, but with us? We've come to think of them as scoundrels.”

“Anyway, Discord, your game has gone way over the line," said Twilight. "The elements of Harmony are with us now, and soon you won't be well."

“We'll check it out.” Discord pointed to the team and all the dark copies went on the attack.

The carnage began... Tom and Jerry fought in the co-op, punching every dark villain in the face. For example, Tom used magic to strengthen Jerry's fist, and with his punch, sent the dark cat into Discord, who ducked his head to avoid getting hit. Spike was beating his enemies as usual, in his own style, just as he'd once beaten Tom. The Elementals didn't stand around like idols, so they actively assisted in the fight.

The fight was very hard and the Elements bearers didn't stand in the way of their enemies and so they actively helped in the fight. The fight was very hard, the enemies kept coming, and for a while, the Elements bearers got tired of fighting, and Spike got weaker after the fight, but Tom and Jerry were getting closer and closer to Discord, having outgunned more than a bunch of enemies.

The draconequus was getting ready to panic because he knew he was going to fail anyway, but he was counting on it not being so soon.

Anyway, Tom and Jerry approached Discord and the former charged with a powerful left hook and the latter hit him hard on the head from above. Tom grabbed the dragon by the paw and threw it over himself, at which point Spike flew into the field of battle, who hit the draconequus with an uppercut and it flew into the sky, while Jerry, gripping the scoundrel's shoulders tightly with his paws, began a rapid spin and fall. Discord had no way of resisting, much less teleporting, since the trio was wearing the Elements of Harmony.

Tom and Spike prepared a tub of ice and fire, and the mouse tipped Discord right into the tub. The poor draconequus screamed from the sudden change in temperature, and the darker versions of the animals disappeared in exactly the same way. Finally, the torture was over, and Discord now realized who he was messing with.

“That's enough, boys!” Discord pleaded on his knees. “I already realized I've been talking to the wrong people! I beg your forgiveness!”

“What makes you so sure we'll believe you Discord!” Twilight muttered. “I'd rather turn you back into stone than take your word for it!”

“Well, here's an idea," Spike said with a smirk, and Tom and Jerry nodded in agreement.

“Oh for Celestia’s forbidding sake..." Discord prayed.

There was a smashing party in Ponyville, right in the center of town, Pinkie Pie, Tom, and Jerry made quick work of the arrangements. The main guest, and perhaps the most important entertainment at the party, of course, was Diskord, who was in a very unpleasant position ... He was hanging like a ball on one tree branch, and there were soft sticks nearby ... But Spike the dragon, who was on duty nearby.

For last, the Elements of Harmony hadn't been removed by the animals yet; after all, a villain needs an eye for an eye. Everyone at this party was having fun and discussing what happened, even the princesses and some famous ponies arrived in Ponyville. Tom and Jerry throughout the fun, for the first time really, as teammates, shook hands with each other, with no jokes and no irony. It wasn't the first time, of course, but this friendly paw grip was the strongest and strongest. Of course, there had been times when they'd worked in pairs when a situation came up that required mutual assistance, but now they had elevated that teamwork to an absolute and gone through it together in Equestria… Though occasionally tripping each other up.

Soon, Spike the dog announced the most important entertainment and all the ponies came up to him. Tom, Jerry, and Spike stood quite close to Discord, and the dog pulled out a sheet that contained a speech written by Tom and Jerry.

"Dear friends! Though you can hardly call us friends since you have known us for only two days and some for only one. We want to ask your forgiveness if we have caused you trouble. Thanks to us, Ponyville is in shambles now, and we may have done something to annoy you... But we repent of it, and we are not ashamed of it now, because we learned long ago that we must take responsibility for our actions. But we wouldn't have understood that if it hadn't been for the Elements of Harmony carriers..." - Spike stopped his reading to let the Elements come up. "To them, we have caused much more trouble and thereby driven them to the point where they want to make woolly mittens of us. And that's why we want to apologize to each of them."

Tom and Jerry approached Applejack as Tom shook her hoof, and Jerry gave a "brogue."

"We ask your forgiveness, Applejack. Stealing is very bad and we should have trusted you and asked. So... We got some money, on account of what we stole." Tom handed over a pouch of bits, which was worth much more by weight. Applejack was imbued with such nobility from these stallions, and she had a lot of respect for these guys.

"Next up: Rainbow Dash. First, you took a barrel ride, and then you got stabbed in the eye. Please excuse us. And sorry about the wing injury." To which Rainbow Dash nodded, and gave a "brogue" to her friends.

"Now: Fluttershy. Because of, Tom, you got a black eye, and you got mad at everyone and everything. So we apologize to you for hurting your friends, too." Fluttershy was a little embarrassed, but she was pleased that they apologized, especially Tom.

"Next up: Rarity. I'm sorry we didn't say, about the certain part we knew, but..." Spike the dog stopped reading as he heard someone clatter their hooves. It wasn't hard to guess that the CMC might have received punishment from the sisters, so they hid. "But believe me, we had no plans to steal anything. One theft was enough. So, excuse us. Oh… and let’s not have Tom mentioned that… certain scene that the two did…" - Rarity was a kind mare after all, and besides, Tom and Jerry had already realized their guilt, so they deserved to be forgiven, but Rarity still frowns at AJ over that kiss she had to endure.

"Next up: Pinkie Pie. You supported us and protected us, but we can't ever repay your kindness, and we made trouble for you in Sugar Corner. We're sorry." Pinkie Pie wanted to say something, but her friends knew she'd be like this for an hour or two, so they covered her mouth with an apple.

"And finally: Twilight Sparkle. That's my fault, you unkempt the cat. I owe you an apology until I'm old, but I had to defend myself. I'm sorry for the hassle and the trouble. And for my brother." Twilight had already forgiven Tom, though she still had a residue. Nevertheless, she could definitely tell that these guys had awakened a conscience.

"Now we apologize to everyone in Equestria to whom we have caused trouble and trouble. And it's all thanks to our chief guest at the party. Who's about to play a very interesting role... You're about to find out... We hope you'll understand and forgive us." Signed: Tom and Jerry - Cat and Mouse.

After this speech, all the ponies drummed their hooves on the ground in applause. Tom and Jerry felt free of the weight of guilt and a strong sense of pride. Spike, the dog walked over to the couple.

"You know how to listen to your conscience, after all," Spike the Dog nodded.

Of course, Tom and Jerry's consciences mocked the Imp, making all sorts of faces and calling them names.

"Now for the main part of the festivities! Wait for a second" Spike snapped his fingers and now the trio was dressed in the style of a Mexican trio. The trio looked at the pony and... seems like Discord is going to ensure his suffering.

"La piñata, amigos queridos!"

Discord had only to endure this torture, accompanied by the trio of Mexican musicians playing. Each pony beat with zeal and "love," even the princesses, especially Celestia, Luna, and Candace took great joy in charging at Discord's cheeky face with a very soft stick. Tom, Jerry, and Spike took great pleasure in playing their Mexican tune, so much so that each pony was encouraged to take an extra punch. And so the fun went on for a very long time...

The fun can't last forever, but all the ponies had a good time, except, of course, Discord, who was still dangling in a ball and learned his lesson to never mess with the wrong opponents. Tom and Jerry decided to do it their way. With the magic of a cat and the speed of a mouse, they prepared a large slingshot and the same balloon they put on a rubber band. To the pleas of Discord not to launch it so far, Tom and Jerry pulled the rubber band tighter and tighter... And after, Discord's flight was quite expected long and long... Victory, and only victory... Time to go home... Where Tom is waiting for his mistress... And little Taffy was going to visit Jerry... So we had to hurry up.

The princesses were preparing a spell, and the bearers of the Elements of Harmony were preparing to say goodbye. The magic was now working on the animals, so they could be sent home right away. Pinkie Pie already had tears welling up in her eyes, but you can't keep the aliens with you that long. After a while, the princesses finally prepared a spell, and the animals gave up the Elements of Harmony, taking their former appearance. It was a shame for everyone to part with them...

“Boys, we'll miss you!” Pinkie Pie cheered with tears. “We're going to miss you boys so, so much!”

“Don't be missed, boys!” Rainbow Dash nodded. “Still, it was fun! Even though it wasn't pleasant.”

“Good luck, guys!” Applejack said. “We'll be waiting for you to visit!”

“Goodbye, our dear ones!” Rarity said, giving a goodbye. - You are guests in our world and we look forward to seeing you!

“Bye... boys..." Though Fluttershy was embarrassed, she was still annoyed but had remorse, “I'm sure... we'll meet again...”

“Goodbye, Tom, Jerry, and Spike!" said Twilight Sparkle. “I'm 100% sure we'll see you again!

“ We promise!” Spike the dog said, holding Tom and Jerry close to him. “We swear, and if we lie, we'll stick a cupcake in our eye!”

The princesses were struck with magic, which made the bodies of animals vibrate and overcome with a feeling of nausea... In a few seconds, the animals disappeared... Pinkie Pie was now finally tearing, with a scarf in her hooves... It was hard to say goodbye to them, although only two days had passed... But it will be much better... Especially Pinkie is inviolable, and if they swore by it... Then they will definitely fulfill this vow... Early... or late...

Tom, Jerry, and Spike were back in their own world, where everything was so familiar and familiar, and not far away was Tom's house, where the lights were on.

“Yes... Mistress is still worried about you, Tom..." Spike put his paw on Tom's shoulder. “I think it's time to make her happy... once she’ll want to know where you guys go.”

Tom nodded in agreement and taking the mouse on his arm he went to his house... The joy of his mistress was boundless, and so she prepared for him a salmon, once promised to him. Tom winked at the mouse, and the mouse winked back. They planned to continue their war... But first to fulfill the one Pinkie Vow they had made to Pinkie Pie: "At least one week without fighting." And that week Tom, Jerry, as well as Spike, decided to spend doing quite the usual thing... Looking at an album of Tom, Jerry, Spike, the Elements of Harmony, and all, all, all...

The End

Author's Note

That’s all folks! A huge shout out to Sergio Bonifaciy for this Tom & Jerry crossover for the translation!

Chapter 1: Not everything is as simple as it seems...

Author's Note

A quick disclaimer that the original author behind the story is Sergio Bonifaciy from FanFiction. He’s the author of the fanfic crossover and I wanted to translate his story into English here. The original story is in 'Russian" as I’m trying my best to fix grammar; errors and translate it asap, making this story more readable for those who read English.

Also, in order to make this PG, the original version (which is the Russian text version) had some Teen Rated words that will be altered to make it PG along with alternations so that if the choices if I had to think about changing the rating.

Chapter 1: Not everything is as simple as it seems...

It was evening outside, the crickets and grasshoppers were chirping beautifully, and the stars in the sky were beginning to appear... It could have been the most beautiful thing in nature... Except for one fat "but"... All chaos was breaking loose in one perfectly ordinary house. Tom the cat kept chasing poor Jerry the mouse, who was stealing cheese from the fridge again.

And it all started very innocuously: Tom was quietly sleeping on his basket, dreaming of the next salmon that his mistress would buy him for decent protection of the house from mice, and Jerry was already thinking up a plan to devastate the fridge. The little mouse had calculated everything beforehand, so he was sure that no excesses would happen. But as a rule, if a gray cat crosses your path, there is trouble, and in this case, Jerry got in a frying pan on the head. After this blow, the mouse did not hesitate to respond with the rolling pin under his paw. Powerfully charged it in the cheeky cat's face, he flew into the hall and crashed into the wall, getting in addition from the hanging on the wall pot.

That's when the chase began. Jerry immediately took the cheese out of the fridge, and holding it in his paws, started to make a break for his hole. But Tom is not a dull boy, and he has already prepared a present for the mouse. The mousetrap turned out to be in the den, and Jerry is used to having it in front of his den. So the mouse bumped his tail on the damn rodent trap. Tom in his joy went to his trap and lifted the mousetrap in front of him, but Jerry bit the rascal's nose, which made him grab it with his paws and cry out in pain. Getting rid of the mousetrap, Jerry immediately ran with the cheese to the basement, he had a spare burrow there. The little mouse foresaw a trap when he went down into the basement, but life is fresh without risk, as they say, and so he immediately headed for the burrow, which was hidden behind the washing machine. And Tom at this point was already down in the basement, and seeing the mouse running to the washing machine, quickly rushed after him. Jerry increased his speed, feeling the vengeance of this rogue cat. Tom prepared to jump on the mouse, but the floor was wet, and there was a bar of soap on it. The cat got his foot on this trap and now rode forward as if on a single horse. Seeing this case as an advantage, Tom decided to take advantage of this opportunity. Before Jerry knew it, Tom was next to him, and he deftly grabbed the mouse with his paw and was now pleased with his success. But with the capture of the mouse, an interesting question came up... How to stop it of course?

The cat's fur stood on end, seeing that he was flying straight into the open washing machine. Then the cat tried to get his balance somehow and jump off, but he couldn't. Eventually, Tom flew into the machine's centrifuge and the mouse fell to the floor. With a smirk on his face, he quickly closed the cat in the machine and started the "manual wash" mode. The unfortunate cat was spinning in the centrifuge of the washing machine and meowing pitifully. But Jerry looked at Tom with wild laughter.

At that moment the mistress of the house came in and smelling the smell of fried, the mouse took the cheese and ran into the hole. The mistress was clearly angry. And understandably so! Who else but Tom could destroy one tiny apartment in just two hours? The mistress turned off the washing machine, allowing the cat to get out of the dirty clothes. He felt very dizzy, but a blow to the head with the broom quickly brought the hapless cat to his senses. Jerry now had to stock up on popcorn...

"You are a useless, talentless, and useless cat!" Tom's owner scolded the cat. "I can't even leave you here for two hours, so you don't ruin anything."

Tom ran his finger across his chest and raised his right paw as if to say, 'I swear I did!'

"What on earth are you talking about!" Tom's owner grabbed Tom by the scruff of the neck and carried him outside. "You're going to sleep outside tonight! And no buts!"

Tom flew straight into the garbage can. And Jerry, who had been watching the scolding scene the whole time, laughed several times. Now he was watching Tom through the window, and he stuck his tongue out and exhaled gloatingly. In this way, he voiced an "interesting" sound. Tom saw Jerry taunting him, and so he quickly got up in front of the cursed mouse, and the latter waggled his face at the cat. Tired of the clown, Tom waved his paw at him and went to the door, sleeping on the mat. Satisfied with his victory, Jerry was about to go to the mink, but the mistress prepared him a mousetrap...

"There you are, you little rodent!" With a malicious grin, the landlady looked at the mouse, again caught by this mine, and again at the exit, not at the entrance to the hole.

Tom's owner took the mousetrap outside and threw it together with the mouse. The mouse didn't land very well, plus the mousetrap fell right on top of it. Free of the trap, Jerry quickly hid behind a bush so Tom wouldn't see. But Tom had already prepared for sleep, and stretched out on his paws, slowly but surely indulging in a wonderful sleep... outside... After a few minutes, when Tom was finally asleep, Jerry went over to the cat, not to kick him once, but to sleep next to him. It was getting cold outside, so he needed something to keep him warm. Or you could safely expect the mouse to get cold. Jerry wrapped himself in the cat's tail and began to fall asleep quietly, too...

Tom woke up with a strange sensation... As if he were sleeping on something soft, but not on a bed. He also felt as if someone was using his tail as a blanket. The cat opened his tired eyes and looked around the area he was in. Before his eyes was a huge forest, in which there was not a single soul. There were some strange rustling noises, and someone's intrusive humming. However, Tom was now interested in something else: who was that tailing him? When he looked up, he saw Jerry, who was sleeping sweetly, covered by the cat's tail. Tom immediately picked up the mouse, but he was still asleep. The cat's fingers clutched the creeper's nose, and when it felt its lack of breath, it quickly woke up. Tom looked at the mouse with a snide face, feeling victory over it. Jerry, on the other hand, was frightened, but not by the cat, who was ready to take revenge on his enemy, but by the one standing behind him... Jerry asked with a look to turn around, and Tom looked.

Right in his face roared some wolf, and not a simple one, but all of the wood, and its eyes glowed with a bright green light. Tom swallowed the lump that arose from fear and now wondered what to do... However, this wolf was not alone, but with the company, in the form of three more of the same kind. Now Tom was well aware that he would make a good cat stew, and Jerry would make a good powder. So the cat decided to remember the old trick of fetch and give. Tom held Jerry in one paw and took a stick with the other, while the wolves from the tree growled very menacingly. Then the cat began to whistle, teasing the hungry beasts with the stick. They fell for the trick, much to the mouse's surprise. Wagging their tails and breathing fast, they really wanted to catch that stick. Tom threw the stick, and wolves rushed after it, and the cat with the mouse in his paw started to run away. One of the wolves caught the stick and wanted to return it to his master, but he was gone. Realizing that they had been tricked, the winner angrily broke the stick. Tom ran as fast as he could without looking where he was going, and now he was approaching a clearing of blue flowers. After walking through it, Tom and Jerry found themselves on a sandy path. The little mouse was free from the cat's grip, but he wasn't going to run away, and Tom didn't care right now. Looking around, Jerry noticed footprints. He decided to take a closer look at them, and it turned out that they looked like hooves. Tom nodded in agreement, and the pair followed those footprints.

A few minutes later, the cat and the mouse came to the exit of the forest, and when they came out of it, a very beautiful view appeared before their eyes: a small town, in the background of various hills and mountains, and far from the town, there was a huge castle in front. It looked as if it had grown out of one of the hills. It was still nighttime, but the moon was very beautiful, and the stars were striking to the eyes. Tom and Jerry could not marvel at such natural beauty. But the question of where they only now arose. But to think at night, and also on an empty stomach, is not a good option, and when it is like that, you do not want to chase each other. So the cat and the mouse started looking around for somewhere to go for a night shelter and a snack. And Jerry pointed to a huge red barn with an apple-shaped weather vane on the roof. Tom agreed, and as Jerry sat on the cat's shoulder, the two set off toward their intended destination.

In the morning, little filly Apple Bloom woke up in a very perfect mood. After all, today she had a chance to get the countermark of a roller. Rollers weren't a problem to get, thankfully her sister pays the extra bit for her sister's efforts. But on the street Applejack and Big Mackintosh found out a very strange circumstance: someone at night brazenly swiped six apples and a bottle of apple cider. Who could have done this is a mystery. However, there was evidence: someone's fallen hair was lying in the street, and it was gray, in some places white, and formed a path. Along with it, Applejack headed after the possible intruder, while her older brother, stayed behind, in case he came running back. The orange pony, with its yellow mane and three apples on its rump, got closer and closer to her target and... saw a few stumps of six.

No, you should have thrown them out my window..." Applejack scolded at this outrage.

The pony continued on her way, but then the thrill and apple cider lover, a blue pony with a mane and tail of all the colors of the rainbow, and with a rainbow lightning mark, Rainbow Dash, arrived from the sky.

"Hey, Applejack!" Rainbow greeted. What are you doing picking up wool?

"Hey, Rainbow!" greeted Applejack, looking around the barrel in hopes of finding a thief. "I've got somepony who stole my apples, and took some cider, too."

"They've got you wrapped around their hooves," Rainbow said with a smile on her face.

"So the funny thing is, it's probably not a thief, but a hungry pony beggar of some kind." Applejack said as she walked on and her friend followed. "He could have swiped all the apples, but he only took six. Likewise the cider. Actually, the first thing I noticed was that the cider was gone, and I left it for us for Saturday night. And at first, I thought you were out of it again. Until I counted yesterday's collection."

"Applejack, I like cider, but I won't stoop to that level," Rainbow said.

"Come with me, then!" Applejack waved her hoof. "You can cover me in case anything happens."

A trail of hair led into the barn where some hay had been scattered. The ponies quietly approached the rogue's hiding place. With a synchronized nod, Applejack kicked the door to the barn with her hind hooves, and Rainbow flew inside.

"Hooves up! It's the Canterlot Guards! You have the right to do silence-" at the last words Rainbow stopped her Royal Guard talk.

Applejack entered the barn, and just like Rainbow, she saw a cat and a mouse. The first, sitting on the floor with his skin completely bare, and all his fur lying on the ground. The second was laughing at him, rolling around on the floor. But then both looked at the entrants, and panic struck them, as the orange pony must have nailed them. Rainbow wanted to laugh at the naked cat, but Applejack weakly hoofed her friend's side. She was more surprised that these cats and mice didn't look like the kind of cats and mice you could see in almost every alleyway. But here... they were different... And Rainbow didn't care, she wanted to laugh.

"So, do you steal apples here?" Applejack asked discreetly.

The pair of animals looked at each other and then back at the pony. They responded by throwing their paws around and shaking their heads with a face of regret.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Rainbow asked, wondering at the silent answer. "Did a griffin bite your tongue?"

But again they only shook their heads.

"Guys, you better tell me honestly, because I do not like it when you lie to me, especially to the eyes," Applejack asked.

But the duo made an innocent face again, and once again shook their heads.

"Okay, okay..."

Tom and Jerry both sigh in relief. Maybe a trifle, but then the unexpected has happened...

Applejack swiftly slammed her hooves into the cat's face, knocking it into the wall. Jerry, who had realized the mare's stern demeanor, launched herself at the exit with a wild howl.

"Catch them Rainbow!" Shouted Applejack.

"Are you kidding me?" asked Rainbow indignantly. "I'm a Pegasus, and I'm a cloud chaser, not a cat catcher, and I catch mice!"

"If you don't want me to blame the missing cider on you, you'll catch the mouse!" Applejack replied with a squint.

"WHOA- HOO HOO HOO HOO! Okay!" With a disgruntled face, Rainbow set off in pursuit of the mouse.

Tom had already recovered from the blow and now the orange pony had a lasso ready to catch the cat. He began to look for a way to get past her, and after all, the barn is windowless and the only exit is on the roof. Applejack launched her lasso, but Tom gave her a bucket instead, and she pulled the catch and put the bucket on her head. Before running off, Tom tapped the bucket several times with the hammer and then gave a run for it. The vibrations in Applejack's head reached enormous heights, but getting her head out of the bucket proved to be very problematic.

"I'll show you, you lousy cat!" Applejack hissed.

Tom went outside and he saw Jerry trying to get away from the pegasus, who was noticeably faster than him, but she couldn't catch him because she had hooves. She was about to freak out, but then she heard a whistle. She turned around and saw that naked cat, and she finally burst out laughing, but a few seconds later her head felt a bump on a beam, and then, a fell into a barrel of water. Tom closed the pegasus in the barrel at this point, and let her ride toward the barn. Rainbow had one desire now: to obliterate that cat. And that prevailed over her desire to get out of the barrel.

The barrel was already pulling up to the entrance, and at that moment Applejack was massaging her head, not even paying attention to the danger. Eventually, there was a collision that caused the two ponies to drive back in and smash everything in the barn with a loud rumble. Jerry was very glad of his enemy's timely help, and so the two shook hands. But now they had to run away before the two ponies came to their senses and killed them on the spot. But now it was clear that the cat and the mouse were in some other world inhabited by ponies. The pair ran away from the farm without even looking back. Rainbow came out with an iron barrel ring around her neck, and Applejack with an empty cider bottle in her mouth.

"Ugh!" Applejack spits out the bottle. "And those two aren't so easy..."

"I'll tear that cat up... And I'll crush the mouse..." angrily muttered Rainbow.

Tom and Jerry wandered down a small path. The cat didn't want to show his face like that in front of the mute crowd. However, the cat and the mouse liked the place where they were. It was so beautiful here, and there were different kinds of ponies: ordinary ponies, pegasi, and unicorns. Different colors, and with different manes and tails. With different markings on their rumps, and talking. This was very interesting. Anyway, the cat and mouse were content with the situation, except for the fact that now the two ponies wanted to let them go fury. Tired from their fifteen-minute walk, Tom and Jerry sat down on a bench. Tom was more concerned with why all the fur had fallen off since it had been fine the night before. And Jerry, for some reason, got around to it.

The reasoning began, they were interrupted by a trio of little mares who were riding a vehicle that resembled a scooter with a cart. These, of course, were the Cutie Mark Crusaders: Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. They saw the strange creatures and stopped in a jiffy. They were chilled with wonder that these were not mere animals, but upright, like those descriptions of mythical creatures. The girls pulled it out of one mare's library, only to return it later when the mare became conscious of its disappearance. After scanning the animals, the filly with the bow on her head began:

"Hello, Misters!"

They waved, "Hello!" Trinity was surprised that they didn't say anything.

"And why are you silent?" The white unicorn asked.

With a gesture of raised hands and an annoying face, the pair said: 'We don't know how,' or 'We can't.'

"You mean you can understand us, but you can't speak?" The orange pegasus asked.

The cat and mouse nodded. Apple Bloom knew it would be hard to talk to these guys, but what now...

'Do you have names?" Apple Bloom asked with interest.

Tom and Jerry nodded quickly.

"Wait for a second..." the filly turned behind her backpack and pulled out a couple of notebooks and a pencil. "Can you write to us?"

Tom took the paper and began to write. Jerry made sure he didn't write anything bad about him. Finally, the cat handed over the paper, and the mares read:

"Hello, girls. My name is Tom and this is Jerry."

"Nice to meet you." Apple Bloom said. "Then we'll introduce ourselves: I'm Apple Bloom, and this is Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. We're the Cutie Mark Crusaders! YAY!"

Tom and Jerry looked at the girls like chumps, as they had absolutely no idea what they were talking about.

"Oh yeah." slapped herself in the face, Apple Bloom. "We formed the CMC club to find our talents on our group."

Again the cat and mouse didn't know what we were talking about, Jerry even scratched his head in bewilderment.

"Cutidmarks are talents that ponies gain over time. They give him certain abilities or skills. They also determine his future fate. That's why they're called Cutie Marks." Sweetie explained to Belle.

Now Tom and Jerry finally understood.

"Um... Tom, aren't you supposed to be as furry as a cat?" Scootaloo asked.

Tom remembered that he was completely naked, so he asked for another piece of paper and a pencil. After a couple of seconds, the girls read:

"I don't know how this happened. We were in the woods at night running away from wolves out of a tree, and then we ran through a clearing with blue flowers. I was fine until morning, and now I look like what you see now."

"The Timber-wolves?!" Scootaloo wondered. "What were you doing in the Forever Woods anyway?"

Tom asked for the leaf again. Jerry just stood silently, occasionally correcting Tom.

"Let's face it, we're from another world. Why we say so we write because you're not likely to see the likes of us."

"We've already noticed that you're not from around here." Apple Bloom replied. "But the fact that you've touched the Poison Joke is a fact. It's just that our sisters have been in this situation before."

For some reason, Jerry suspected that this filly with the bow was the sister of that orange pony, and so he called Tom over to whisper. After a few seconds, they both came to the conclusion: she was the sister of the orange pony. And so without wasting any time, they wanted to leave as soon as possible, but before that, to ask how to get rid of the "Poison Joke".

"To do that you'll need a special medicine that Zecora makes, but you don't know the way to it, so you'll have to at least ask our sisters." Apple Bloom explained, and by doing so caused a slight shiver in the cat and mouse, but the filly continued. But Applejack probably doesn't have any.

"Rarity still has some left." Sweetie Belle said. "You can ask her, but, can you find them on your way? It's just that we have to run to school."

To which the cat and mouse nodded. Quickly saying goodbye and glancing to thank the mares, the couple immediately ran off in an unknown direction.

"What do you think, girls?" Apple Bloom asked.

"They're pretty funny!" Scootaloo said. "Although wait, aren't like cat and mouse they're supposed to be enemies?"

"But is that a bad thing?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Maybe they're friends?"

"And that's a possibility." Apple Bloom thought. "Alright girls! Soon we'll get our rollers' couture marks!"

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS! ROLLERSKATE MASTERS! YAY!" All three of them gave a hoof.

Meanwhile back to Sweet Apple acres...

Applejack couldn't believe her eyes, much less her mind. She was being played like a fool by an ordinary cat and mouse! Not exactly ordinary, of course, but the fact remained. She vowed to make a good rug out of the cat and a hook out of the mouse to hang her hat on. However, a couple of battered ponies sat on a couple of hay bales and kept ice on the bruised and bruised areas. Applejack wouldn't tell her family about the incident, since she wants revenge on these scumbags herself.

"I can't imagine how these two tricked me, but I'll scrub the floors with the cat, and then make a candlestick out of the mouse!" Applejack growled, feeling humiliated by the cat and mouse duo, wondering how they managed to handle themselves.

"Uh... Yeah..." Rainbow agreed, feeling sorry for herself. "I should have known that laugh would backfire on me. I almost threw up in that barrel. Even now it makes me sick..." The pegasus held her mouth shut against nausea.

"I'm going to give that cat a bulking life..." Applejack snarled. "I'll get him first... and then turned him in the Dungeons... I'd forgive stealing those six apples and cider, Discord and them... but putting a bucket over my head and giving me a final shake is the limit..."

"I'll help you, Applejack," Rainbow agreed. 'After all, they could be said to have humiliated us."

"Then let's go look! And watch out Dash! Not a word of this to the Ponies!" Applejack warned.

"Are you crazy?! Do I look crazy to you? I don't want my fans turning their backs on me! It's an embarrassment in front of the whole audience!" Rainbow panicked, as she doesn't want to tell her fans about that incident.

"That's just it! If Twi were here, she'd be all over the place like a crow." Applejack smirked
