My Little Ball of Fire & Vengeance

Amber Wood

I had spent a few days preparing for my revenge against Rainbow Dash.

Not only that but a few other ponies even agreed to help me.

Now I had considered going easy on her and burying the hatchet, but I figured out that she had been replaced by a changeling.

In fact so had the other element bearers.

Fortunately Rarity had a habit of writing down her schedule which meant that I one of the very changelings I was plotting against helping me.

And all of it under the assumption that I was only upset with Rainbow Dash for dyeing me green.

Fortunately Pinkie Pie or at least the real Pinkie Pie wrote up a trap for us to use when pranking back Rainbow Dash.

I had been worried about the changeling possibly not going for it or warning the other changeling but after witnessing the imposter struggle to hold in their laughter I was more confident in my success.

The fake Rarity was preparing a little outfit for fake Rainbow Dash while I prepared the trap.

I didn't think that she would actually make her an outfit of her own but rather pick one which met the specifications already made by Rarity.

Regardless I needed to prepare the trap.

*At the Rich Manor*

Smiling at Diamond Tiara I thanked her for the supplies, "Thanks again for helping me get the stuff I asked for. My payback on Rainbow Dash is almost ready."

With a raised brow Diamond Tiara asked, "Are you sure that you still want revenge on Rainbow Dash? I mean sure you were pretty upset about that before but I thought you were over it after the whole cookie prank?"

With a gentle though nefarious smile I gave her an excuse, "Ohh, sure I was mostly satisfied with that but I just wanted one last jab. Besides I was planning for this before the cookies prank and the preparations would be for nothing if I didn't."

Diamond Tiara rolled her eyes at my reasoning but I never planned to actually convince her.

With sarcastic concern Diamond Tiara commented, "Ahh yes she surely won't feel the need to get back at you or anything."

I chuckled to myself and said, "Ohh you don't have to worry about that. I have a feeling that we won't have to worry about it."

Diamond Tiara gave me a confused expression before shrugging and waving me off.

Making my way out of the manor with a wagon of supplies I made my way towards the main square.

Diamond may not understand why I chose to continue with this plan but I know that once I show her and every pony else the truth they will be thanking me.

As I made my way near the Carousel Boutique I came to a stop in front of the fake Rarity who held the paper back on her back.

With a barely contained laugh she passed the bag over to me and I nodded in confirmation before heading off.

I then made my way to an alley way near Sugar Cube Corner to set up my trap.

Fortunately Pinkie Pie had written up a few different versions of the trap with a few areas of wiggle room for extra modifications.

Something I had been keeping a secret from the changelings.

After the whole invasion in Canterlot I had asked Zacora about a potion for revealing the true form of a creature.

I had told her that it was encase of changelings but I really wanted to see if I could use it to turn back into my normal form from my nirik form.

Unfortunately the potion actually prevents me from switching forms for the duration of the effect.

Luckily it would more than likely work perfectly on a changeling.

Soon the fake Rainbow Dash was snagged by the trap and thrown into a pink French maid uniform in front of a crowd.

As the crowd began to chuckle I splattered the potion on the imposter revealing their true form.

As the crowd gasped I began to rally them, "THE PRINCESS AND HER FRIENDS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY CHANGELINGS! BUT WE SHALL NOT BE DECEIVED! WE WILL RESCUE THE PRINCESS! CHARGE!"

Cricket

Running into the castle we barricaded the door and looked between ourselves.

I glared add Sting and growled, "Is there any reason why you chose to help that little calf with their prank rather than be a responsible adult who talks them out of it?"

Sting could hardly contain his laughter, "I can't take you seriously with that prench maid uniform on."

As he broke out into laughter Hornet dropped her Applejack transformation and joined in.

Mantis dropped her Twilight transformation and with an exasperated expression decided, "We can't change what happened now, but for now we should figure out what to do next."

Before any of us could even respond a flash of light brought Discord into the room.

With a happy tone he smiled, "Ahh your all here perfect. *snap*."

And suddenly we found ourselves surrounded by other changelings.

Many were...

...colorful?

Twilight Sparkle

After the party came to an end Discord popped us back into my castle before poofing away again.

But before any of us could even begin to relax a banging sound resounded through the castle.

Business Opportunity

And mother said sell torches and pitchforks was a silly idea.

Shouting to the mob, "Get your torch and pitchfork! Only four bits each!"

As more ponies bought torches and pitchforks the kirin calf gave an order to the ponies with the battering ram, "Bust down the door! We must save the princess and her friends! For Equestria!"
