Chapter 1: Prologue

It was a bright, beautiful day and everyone at Canterlot High School was making preparations for an Easter outing at Equestria Land. The students were helping decorate the eggs and baskets while the staff worked on the decorations and streamers.

"How's everyone doing with their egg-decorating tasks? I see some very creative designs going on here!" Principal Celestia asked.

"Hey, Principal Celestia! We're almost done with our eggs. Pinkie's being her usual bubbly self, adding tons of glitter and sparkles to hers." Sunset Shimmer reported.

"Oooh, yeah! I just love adding a little extra flair to everything! giggles It's going to be an EGG-stravagant Easter!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, obviously hyperactive.

"Ugh, Pinkie, you're making a mess again!” Rainbow said, obviously annoyed. “But, yeah, our eggs are looking pretty cool. Rarity has added some fancy designs to hers, and Fluttershy's done a lovely job with the flowers and butterflies." she continued.

"Why, thank you, Rainbow Dash! I do try to add a touch of elegance to everything I do. smiles And Fluttershy's designs are simply darling, aren't they?" Rarity thanked.

Fluttershy was working on the floral designs for the eggs. "T-thank you, Rarity... I just love working with flowers and animals... they're so adorable!" She said, loving the peaceful vibes of the holiday.

"Hey, Principal Celestia! Me and my friends are helping out with the baskets. We're adding some yummy treats and decorations to make them extra special." Apple Bloom said.

"Yeah! We're making sure everything is just right for the Easter egg hunt. It's going to be so much fun!" Sweetie Belle added.

"I'm just excited to see everybody's faces light up when they find their eggs!" Scootaloo replied, giggling.

“Wonderful, wonderful! It looks like everyone's working together beautifully. Keep up the good work, students!" Principal Celestia encouraged, smiling.

Everything was set up and ready for the party. Everyone has done their assignments and party preparations. Now it's time for everyone to go home after a fun day at Canterlot High School.

Later that night, however, a person in a brown cloak walks up to the school, sneaks its way in and sprinkles some dust and glitter on the eggs that the students decorated (all while it was making sure that whoever's doing this won't be caught). Once the crook is finished sprinkling all the glitter all over the eggs and leaves, the eggs start to glow an otherworldly aura.

Chapter 2: The Big Magical Egg Hunt

The next day, everyone from CHS is at Equestria Land for the long awaited easter egg hunt. The CMCs were helping each other find their eggs at the entrance of the theme park.

"Hey, Scootaloo! I think I saw an egg over there on this bush!" Apple Bloom said, holding an egg by the bush on the bush at the entrance of the park.

"Wait, no, I think it's over here by the flowers!" Scootaloo pointed out at the flower garden by the park.

"Guys, guys, I found one! It's so sparkly and pretty!" Sweetie Belle said, holding a shining egg. Little does she know that the egg is glowing an aura of dark magic.

"Ooh, let me see! Yeah, that's definitely an egg. Good job, Sweetie Belle!" Apple Bloom replied, impressed at the egg’s sparkling look.

Meanwhile, Sunset Shimmer and Rarity were talking about the fashion and the activities of the Spring season.

"You know, Rarity, I've always loved Spring. It's just so... full of life and color." Sunset said, taking in the fresh air.

"I couldn't agree more, Sunset. And it's the perfect time to break out the Spring fashion, don't you think?" Rarity replied in agreement.

"Definitely. Although, I have to admit, I've missed out on a lot of Easter activities back in Equestria. I've never even been on an Easter egg hunt before!" Sunset added, feeling like she’s trying something she never done.

"Well, we'll make sure to make up for it today, darling. And I'll make sure to give you all the Spring fashion tips you need." Rarity promised.

Pinkie Pie came into view, feeling very excited about Spring, mainly about the candy. She became so hyperactive that she’s bouncing everywhere.

"WOOHOO, SPRING IS HERE! and that means EASTER CANDY, SUNSET!” Pinkie said, bouncing everywhere all out of control.

"Pinkie, slow down, you're going to make yourself sick on all that sugar.” Sunset said, trying to calm Pinkie down.

"Aww, come on, Sunset! It's Easter! We have to celebrate with CANDY!” Pinkie replied, her hyperactivity getting even more wilder.

"I just love Spring, don't you, Pinkie? The animals are all so happy and energetic... it's just the best time of year." Fluttershy said, all calm and loving the air.

"YEAH, AND THE CANDY, FLUTTERSHY!” Pinkie Pie replied, giggling uncontrollably.

Later after the hunt, everyone gathered around the stage where Vice Principal Luna and Principal Celestia were waiting for them.

"And how did the Easter egg hunt go, students? *smiles* Did everyone have a lovely time?" Vice Principal Luna asked.

All the students reply with a "yep" while raising their baskets up.

"Wonderful! Now, let's open those eggs and see what treats we have inside, shall we?" Principal Celestia said.

As the students open their eggs, the eggs start glowing really bright and upon a flash, they start to turn into walking eggs!

Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna look on in shock and horror at the bizarre scene they have witnessed.

"Oh dear, oh dear... what's happening to my students? This is... this is absolutely unprecedented!” Principal Celestia said, in shock and disbelief.

What few students have not been turned into eggs began to panic wildly screaming sweat and generally making a ruckus. Celestia decides to take charge, so she takes a deep breath and tries to speak calmly, but her voice is shaking slightly.

"Students, please... Please, remain calm. We'll figure out what's going on and how to reverse this... this... egg-ification process. She said, trying to remain calm. “I need to call in some experts, find out what kind of magic is causing this…" She mutters to herself.

She pauses, looking at the walking eggs in front of her static and unmoving as if they are brainless statues, and her expression softens.

"Oh, my dear students... I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I'll do everything in my power to help you return to your normal selves" Vice Principal Luna said, sighing.

"We'll just have to work on getting through to Twilight. We'll just have to hope that she can help us figure out what caused all this mess." Principal Celestia said, looking at Sci-Twi's new egg form.

To be continued...

Chapter 3: Things are Not Sunny Side-Up

"Hello? Hello, is anyone here? Can somebody hear me Celestia, Luna, Spike, anyone?" Said Twilight Sparkle as she doesn't know what quite happened. First thing she knew, she opened up some Easter eggs hoping there would be candy. and the next she found herself in this strange white ocean.

It was an intense white like lead carbonate or the noonday sun and seemed to stretch on forever roiling and bubbling seemingly without end. Twilight tried to swim out of this freaky place but for some reason she was locked in a fetal position and entrapped within a strange translucent yellow barrier. So, with no idea where she was, she decided to do the one thing she knew best: rationalize and retrace her steps.

"Okay, Twilight. Let's go over the basics." she said to herself as she began to organize recent events. "Number 1: I was in Equestria Land with my friends Easter Egg hunting, number 2: I opened my egg and then a burst of blinding light came out of it, and number 3, I'm here in this weird dimension. So, it is most likely that I have been abducted into some kind of prison dimension and someone has cursed the Eggs to that but who could it be. it is likely someone with knowledge of equestrian magic but who or what it could be."

And thus, Twilight would begin to formulate a list of possible suspects based on who she knows would be out to get her and why as well knowledge about that land regaled to her through Sunset. "Could it be Discord? Sunset that mentioned he has the power." She pondered "No, he turned over a new leaf so that's unlikely." Or perhaps the Sirens?" "No that's right either from what Sunset tells me they lost their powers." the gears in twilight's minds continued to turn and rattle until she finally came up with a Likely culprit "Ah of course it must be-"

Just then a loud metallic rattling was heard throughout the strange dimension as turned her gaze to the source of the nose she saw at what seemed to be a view screen and out of it was Celestia, and Luna. pounding gently on what seemed like nothing.

"Twilight, I don't know if you can hear me." She said holding back some tears “But I just want to tell you that something about this Easter has gone wrong and you have been changed into something else. So, Luna and I are calling your counterpart to help fix your problem and if you don't know what you became well..." just then Celestia pulled out what looked like a hand mirror, and she began to back away.

Twilight, initially not registering what was before her, saw only a large purple egg and she said to herself "Whoa, I don't remember that egg being part of the..."

And then as Celestia stopped, she focused on what lay before her because that egg was standing on a pair of unclothed lavender legs, her legs.

"OH NO..." A pair of jigsaw pieces clicked within Twilight's mind and immediately she knew what was going on. That egg was here the form of this world, the barrier it all made since now she was inside her transformed body or at least its mind and Twilight Sparkle, a measured and composed girl of science had an expected response.

Despite the fact that she was mute (due to eggs being not really well known for silver tongues) Twilight springing up like a bullfrog, the panicked running she made it said everything Celestia and Luna needed to know Twilight was herself... for now... hopefully. Just as quickly as Twilight sprang to life, the other eight noticed their forms and all jumped. Sunset was standing around and silently panicking as her shell visibly quivered, Applejack was stomping on the ground in frustration, Pinkie Pie was as usual making fun of bad situations. Starlight was also running around in a panic with Trixie right behind her. Rarity was rocking on the ground in a fetal position having a mental breakdown since her new body made her life's work useless and Fluttershy... well she as usual was cowering in a corner.

As the other walking eggs to panic themselves in an apparent domino effect they would run about in a mad frenzy causing the remaining human students to also panic causing Luna to Snark back to her sister.

"Well at least we know they're still our students" Luna said with overwhelming smugness as Celestia barked

"Sister, not now. I have to keep order." Unfortunately, that statement was futile in and of itself as no earthly teacher could possibly keep order in something like this. Luckily, Celestia had experience in very unearthly events. "Students?" she said. "I know you are going through high emotions right now but rest assured that I and my Vice-Principal have everything under control." Nothing seemed to work, and they were still panicking after almost everyone saw/realized that they or their friends had become giant chicken eggs with human legs. Celestia tried speaking again "Students-" "But I-" "Can you-" eventually her patience wore then and for a brief the principal masks of a gentle morning sun faded and in its place was the fury of a thousand supernovae.

"STOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPP!!!!! RUUUUUUUUNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!" the scream was so loud the heavens shook the land quaked ever so slightly and for brief moment time froze as the world stood in collective shock of this one woman's tremendous frustration. Instantly, the students, Egg and non-egg alike, huddled up in single file as Celestia began to state her plan.

"Listen" Celestia said as she began her speech. "I know this is scary for many of you. After all, while we have seen magical phenomena before, it was never at a time like this where we should be celebrating and be safe. And also, to be fair, none of the magic events we have had were this weird either, but we are strong. The Wondercolt spirit is strong with us, and it will help us overcome any obstacle even this. My sister and I will return to the School with Twilight and her friends in the hopes of finding a cure, the rest of you will stay and wait for treatment"

Celestia looked around for a capable enough student and found one staring her down. "Flash Sentry, you think you'll be able to watch over your fellow students " she asked.

"Yes, ma'am. I promise I will make sure that nothing bad happens to these eggs on my wa-'' But just then he notices the crackling aura of dark magic creep along his body and, to his silent horror, realizes what's happening. However, before he can act, in a poof of magical smoke, Flash becomes a walking egg himself with a navy-blue shell and tan skinned legs, barefooted like the rest!

Celestia notices this and proceeds to face palm herself and furrows her brow in frustration Twilight and others also notice proceed to the same act with their feet though it's more of a face tap as they didn't want to risk cracking their shells. "Why on this specific day of the Month is everything not going my way?!" Celestia says through gritted teeth as her patience is starting to wear thin. She then starts looking for another person willing to take the job and sees a lone acne-covered employee sweeping up the floor.

"YOU!!" She shouts, "Can you watch over my students?''

The acne covered man stands there pondering for a brief moment what he could get out of this unusual situation. "Ummm.... sure, but can you like... tip me? My boss kind of shot down my chances for a raise today."

Celestia rolled her eyes. "Okay, fine. Here's fifteen dollars, it should be enough." The employee was elated beyond words he hadn't experienced this level of kindness from a park-goer in years and this filled with a renewed desire to live.

"Oh, Ma'am. Thank you This is like 3 times my usual weekly salary?! I, SWIFT SWEEP, PROMISE TO WATCH OVER YOUR TRANSMOGRIFIED STUDENTS UNTIL I DIE!!! AND NEITHER RAIN, FIRE, HAIL OR WILD BEASTS WILL STOP ME!!! THIS I SWEAR!!!"

Celestia, more than a little weirded out by this, gives a slow and cautious thumbs up. "Yeah of course... good for you." She said, now with her students guaranteed safety she went with Luna to the bus with the Mane 9 in tow with Luna driving.

While on the bus, Celestia sits beside Twilight. Twilight, who is visibly shivering, is clearly imagining every way this quest to cure them could go wrong, but Celestia reaches a hand over to the egg girl in order to comfort her about her plight. "You're worried you may never turn back into a human, right?" She inquired, and Twilight nodded. "Don't worry. I'm sure that the Princess can find a way to make sure something from you and your friends' old lives can be salvaged. Who knows, you may even look back on this time fondly." Celestia said.

That made Twilight cheer up a little, after all. Maybe Celestia is right; maybe this could be something she remembers fondly. Maybe her friends can make new lives better than their old human ones.

“I'm going to call your brother, Cadence and Spike, to help us. would you like that?' Celestia asked.

In response, Twilight's posture shot clearly excited about the notion of her family helping her out of this dilemma, and if they failed, but they could make lemons out of lemonade. Immediately, the principal pulled out her phone and began to call up Shining Armor and Cadence because she knew they would need all the help they could get right now.

"Hello, Shining. it's me, Celestia. I don't have much time. Get Spike, your wife, and Princess Twilight Most of my students have all been cursed and we need to find a way to turn them back. Meet at the academy courtyard as quickly as you can."
She put the phone back into her pocket and began to ask Luna, "Are we near the academy, sister?" She wondered.

"Almost." Luna replied, "I've been pushing this thing as fast as it can go without angering the law; we should be there in a couple of minutes, which I think Rainbow would appreciate." Luna turns her gaze back to the sight of a rainbow, a rainbow quivering with barely controlled frustration as Pinkie, being Pinkie, bounds up and down in her seat. Though she is currently silent, the squeaking of her chair making an awful lot of noise.

2 minutes later, they made it, and not too far ahead of them were Shining, Cadence, and Spike (in a pet carrier), all worried for Twilight's safety.

"Twilight! Twilight, are you alright? What happened at the event? theeeeee? Oh my god." The trio's brains froze up after seeing the surreal sight of a bunch of walking Easter eggs behind the principal and her sister, but the skin tone on their legs conveyed all the information they needed to know.

"Don't worry, I can explain everything." said Celestia, and she did.

Catching them up to speed on the egg situation, with Spike being the one to break the ice. "So, do you have a plan? Any plans to bring Twilight back to normal?"

"Actually, my little canine friend, we do." she said. "Luna has already contacted the other Twilight Sparkle, and we are thinking her magical expertise could aid us in this."

Speaking of the devil, rushing out of the mirror, panting like she was escaping the end of the world, were Princess Twilight and dragon Spike. "I came here the moment I received the message, so show me what happened to my counterpart and her friends."

Celestia beckoned to the egg girls to walk forth with some degree of caution.

"Well, it looks to me like they really got into the Easter spirit," said dragon Spike snickered to which Twilight responded by staring daggers at him, but then she inched closer to examine the girls, and as she stroked her chin, a distant memory began to bubble in the darkest recesses of her mind.

"Fascinating," she said. "This is unlike any transfiguration spell I've seen, and yet strangely, I feel like I remember reading about it somewhere."

"Does that mean they can be cured?" inquired Cadence.

The princess pondered for a moment. "I'm not sure about that. I will need to conduct some research with Starlight back in Equestria. I'll need the girls to come along with me, though. Is that okay with you, Principal?"

Celestia nodded and said, "Yes, you have my blessing." Twilight smiled, and wordlessly beckoned her egg-ified counterpart and her comrades to follow her into the mirror in the hopes that this affliction could be reversed.

35 minutes have passed since the girls entered the mirror, and the adults are getting impatient. Shining is taking it especially hard, biting his nails and pacing like a madman. He was clearly fearing the worst, but those fears proved invalid as she turned to the mirror, and it began to glow.

"They're coming back!!!!" Shining pointed out, with the other adults and the dog turning to see that the egg girls stepped out, with Twilight and Cadence rushing out to give her a big hug. Trailing out last was Princess Twilight and instantly Celestia's face became despondent as she noticed who she carried herself. With her head hanging low and her back deflated, she clearly found out that something terrible had afflicted the girls. "Princess, what did you discover?"

The princess raised her gaze and stated her revelations. "It's worse than I thought, Celestia. My doppelganger, and your students have just suffered one of the most dangerous transfiguration curses ever to blight Equestria."

All were taken aback by that statement and Sci-Twi was especially shocked by that claim as well.

"Well, what is that curse?" Cadence inquired.

"Ovification," Princess Twilight quietly uttered.

Shining armor then responded, "Ovi-whatacacoo?"

The princess then rolled her eyes and explained, "OVI-FI-CATION!!! Is a powerful and dangerous transmutation spell from before the founding of Equestria. During that time, powerful unicorn families frequently feuded with each other to decide who would control the rising and falling of the sun and moon. These feuds got very violent, very brutal, and very messy. This caused the other breeds of pony to get mad at them, and so the families chose to stop their battle. At least publicly, they began to try more subtle, unique, and insidious means of disposing of their foes."

Spike then chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, princess charming, but what does that have to do with my Twilight being something straight out of a breakfast commercial?!"

Twilight then explained, "That, Spike, is because ovification was one of those methods. A weird one but one that's employed in those secret feuds. Once the person is cursed, they will transform into a walking egg or trotting egg in the case of us ponies. But their minds will slowly fade over time until they become completely and utterly mindless, lacking any higher thoughts or memories of their past lives. and an hour after that, the transformation will become permanent and irreversible. and any longer they will become a normal, inanimate egg... forever."

Everyone present gasped. Twilight, and Co. was taken aback to be stuck as a mindless husk of themselves forever. That was horrifying.

"Who would hold a grudge against them powerful enough to inflict such a cruel fate on a bunch of teens?" she asked herself, the thought of forgetting friendship, her peers, and everything she stood for shook Twilight to the core. She had hoped that even if she couldn't be cured, at least the princess could salvage some aspect of her human existence. but now that was impossible, for now she was doomed to an existence less than that of an animal.

"How long do we have until their consciousness is gone?" Celestia inquired.

"7 hours and one of them has just passed; mental regression begins after 2 hours have transpired." Princess Twilight said,

The girls collectively gulped mentally; things were not looking good for them in the slightest. In fact, things were shaping up to be the worst Easter ever. The adults' faces turned serious as Cadence cuddled a worried Spike and Shining Armor, then reached out to the princess with one question.

"Princess, please, can we cure my sister?" Cadance asked.

Princess Twilight looked at them with a face that was both determined yet also defeatist in nature. "Yes, there is a cure, but I don't know how to make the curse. It is so old and has been banned in Equestria for so long that no one knows what it is. I need a copy of the spell book that was used to create the curse dust used to imbue the eggs. It's the only way someone in the human world could feasibly cast it."

"That's all well and good, but how will we find the culprit?" said Luna.

"I think it's simple: we'll just find and interrogate everyone who has been involved with or instigated a crisis involving magic, and if possible, bring them to our side to help." said Cadence.

Now that they had a plan, all they needed was to decide who was to do what, and Celestia had an idea: "Alright then. Cadence, Shining, Spike, you're going with me to find the perpetrator and their spell book. Luna, take the girls back to the amusement park, wait for us with the cure, and try to keep them under control, and Princess, head back to Equestria until we've got our suspect. Before you do, can you give me a way to keep in touch with my girls in spite of their state?" Celestia asked.

"Of course, I've got just the spell for the job."

Just then the glimmering silhouette of the princesses' acorn horn and wings appeared, and lavender energy sparked from the principal to Sci-Twi in an instant. "Now, you two are telepathically linked so you can communicate with each other mentally."

Celestia began to try it out: "Twilight, can you read me?" she asked.

"Yes, I can, Celestia. Honestly, it's good to be able to talk again." Twilight telepathically responded.

"Okay then, how does being an egg feel like?" Celestia asked.

"Well, honestly, it's pretty FUN!!!"

Just then, a psychic shout boomed inside Celestia's brain—a kind of shout she knew all too well.

"ILOVEBEINGANEGGBECAUSETHISREMINDSMESOMUCHOFANIDEAIHADFORTHISYEARSEASTERPARTYCAUSEIASKEDRARITYIFSHEWANTEDTOMAKEEGGCOSTUMESKINDOFLIKEWHATWEGOTTURNEDINTOFORITBUTSHESAIDNOBECAUSETHEYLOOKEDUGLYTOHERSOTHENIREDESIGNEDTHEM..." Pinkie went on and on about why she loved being an egg, and thus Celestia glared at the princess with a look that screamed, "What did you do?"

"Yeah, well," Princess Twilight explained. "I kind of telepathically linked Sci-Twi and her friends together so they wouldn't get bored during our research, so..." As Celestia's glare intensified even more, the pony Twilight knew that they needed to get out now! "I'm going back to Equestria. Don't forget the spell book. See you soon!!" She bolted into the mirror without a second thought, then Celestia's expression calmed, and she turned to her sister.

"Luna, get on the bus with the girls, and wait for me once you get to Equestria Land." Celestia instructed.

"Okay, I will. Come on girls. We're heading back." Luna replied.

"Celestia," Twilight mentally whispered to her principal.

"Yes?" Celestia said back

"Please hurry." Twilight requested, to which she silently nodded and headed out to gather a party to save her students.

Meanwhile, in a dark room, only the sickly prismatic radiance of magic is most foul. The silhouette of a coat rack was ascertained with a ratty brown cloak over it, all the while a shadowy figure laughed at their successful hex. "Just a couple more hours and those brats will become little more than oversized breakfast foods!!!"

Chapter 4: Finding the Culprit and the Cure

Six hours and 35 minutes remaining...

Vice Principal Luna pushed her foot on the accelerator as hard as she could, causing the bus to bolt forward at near lightning speed. Equestria Land can’t wait. She needs to get her girls there now before all hope is lost. Near the back, the Main/Egg 9 are telepathically talking about their situation and are worried for both Celestia’s sake and how it’s going to get worse for them.

“Okay, this BLOWS! I’m too awesome to spend the rest of my days as a brainless omelet with legs! What if Celestia doesn’t get this cure? We could become science experiments until we go rotten!!!” Rainbow Dash asked, in a mix of concern, anger and fear

“I’m just as worried, Rainbow,” said Fluttershy “But I have hope she’ll succeed and besides even if she doesn’t fully cure us maybe being a sentient egg for the rest of our lives won’t be all that bad.”

Trixie then chimed in herself “Exactly, so what if the cure just prevents us from going mindless? Twilight’s magical counterpart can allow us to do things our new bodies couldn’t, and we’ll be the most Great and Powerful Egg to EVER LIVE!!!” which she concludes by throwing a smoke bomb with her left foot as her character.

Starlight then added her own voice to the conversation “Yeah, and besides Shining and Cadence are with her, so she has some help.”

Twilight then responded her psychic voice though was tinged with doubt “I know, but that also means she had to deal with people like the Dazzlings. They’re horrible and even Cinch. Ugghh, that hag. I don’t even want to think about her right now.”

“Twilight, I understand, but don’t worry. I know Celestia, Spike, your brother, Cadence and the Princess will find a solution and save not just this Easter for everyone but their future as well,” Sunset assured, trying to make Sci-Twi feel better.

“Yeah Twilight,” Replied an eager Rainbow Dash “I’m sure that even Celestia can take down a mean ol’ potty head like Cinch.”

“Thanks Rainbow. That was-” Twilight paused after noticing the weirdly petulant insult out of Rainbow. Normally she wouldn’t say uncool words like that, something was wrong. “Wait a moment, did you just say potty head?”

Rainbow then replied and Twilight and co’s worst fears were confirmed from her reply. “Yeah, because Sinch is a beeg dumb potty head who hates wittle eggs like us and make kids act like poo-poo gwown ups.”

Pinkie then replied next, and the gang's collective heart’s sunk further “Yeahs. She makes eggies do the studies and make brain hurts, eggs should juss pwawty and be happys fowever! No big smarties to bwother them.”

And then of all people next came Rarity who was the least likely to indulge in such notions “Ya ya Pinkee Once weez bee eggs foreva Rareee- Raraito- Rarara-” Her intelligence had plummeted dramatically in such short notice her words where slurred, her grammar butchered, and even her own name gave her trouble but she did manage to finish her sentence “Raraitee well make funny egg faschen for evewyone and it bee Gaa goo boo bee!!!”

“Gaa gaa! Baba booboo gee GOO!!!” Rainbow, Pinkie and Rarity babbled and laughed in unison. And then Rainbow began making mental fart noises to entertain the two of them.

Sci-Twi and Sunset and the others on the bus take notice of that outburst and their worst fears have begun to come alive, made all the more potent by the understated “Oh, no!” Luna lets out and then they realize that the mental regression phase is starting.

Within the mental landscape of the three girls' egg forms the psychic image of the teenage girls began to physically or psychically regress into toddlers. Bone growth reversed, faces shrunk, and hormones ceased flowing in their blood as the abstract yolk encasing them started to grow more solid. All the while, the Ovification curse whispered a siren song praising infantilism and the lack of identity to their minds ringing louder than ever.

“Stop thinking, don’t talk, you don’t need names. You're not humans anymore, you're eggs now, you live solely for joy and be mindless, be childish, be wild abandon maturity and embrace Egghood.”

“Oh, no. Ah’ hope Princess Twilight and the others fix everything soon.” Applejack said, the sight of her three friends’ regressing causing her optimism to lower by the minute

“Boy, you said it!” Starlight replied before issuing a statement to the Vice Principal “Luna, punch it NOW!!! We need to hurry!!” To which she silently nodded and started to put the pedal to the medal, speed limits be darned her students were at stake.

Six hours and 29 minutes remaining...

Principal Celestia, Shining Armor, Cadence and Spike all arrive at their destination a lovely white and purple gothic revival house with the front yard having an immaculately detailed garden with all manner of flowers blooming in full for this was Wallflower Blush’s house and they were here to interrogate her if she has anything to do with the ovification curse.

While Spike is busy literally smelling the roses, Celestia knocks at Wallflower’s door and the shy plant loving girl inched out to answer, “Yes c-come in.” she meekly replied. “Ms. Blush” Celestia sternly uttered “I have come to discuss with you about a series of strange phenomena that has occurred recently."

She cautiously let the let the three adults and dog in and she sat herself down on a large leather chair in front of a dolly clad table.

Shining Armor was particularly impressed by the decor. It was like his dream house came to life and looked perfect for raising a baby girl should they ever want to have kids. Celestia sat herself down and poured herself a cup of darjeeling tea from the table and took a hearty sip. She then said her peace "Around 11:00 am today, while most of the school was on a field trip today, the students had suffered a curse that has turned them into walking eggs that will soon become mindless in due time. So, tell me, Wallflower, do you have anything to do with this?" The green girl's expression shifted to horror at the accusatory remark. "What no... no way I didn't do it, in fact this was the first time I've ever heard something like that.”

“Oh, Really, Miss I GAVE EVERYONE AMNESIA?! Then what have you been doing all morning?” Shining Armor asked his face changed expression as he gave her the stink eye, clearly, he was still rocky over scrubbing his sister of her memories. “Well, I was tending to my flowers and had an Easter party with my friends from the school eco club.” Wallflower responded as truthfully as she could. Cadence then responded in turn. "Well then were your eggs cursed like Celestia's?" "No, everyone one of them was normal with candy and everything in them and the party was also pretty great" Wallflower answered her, saying those words caused a weight to lift from her shoulders.

Celestia sighed with relief, thankful that some of her students remained human “That’s good. Since you have some experience with Equestrian magic due to the whole Memory stone thing, I was hoping to use that to help us find a way to lift the hex plaguing my students, are you ready for it?” Principal Celestia requested.

"Of course!!! I was hoping to get that skeleton out of my closet someday and helping Sunset and her friends after I hurt them so much seems like the perfect way to do it." Wallflower said, and just like that they gained a new ally in helping them reverse this terrible curse.

Six hours and 15 minutes remaining...

The Egg 9 and Luna have finally arrived back in Equestria Land where Swift Sweep eagerly greeted them on their return to the park. “Hello, Ms. Luna. How is your quest?” The acne faced janitor asked. “My sister has gone with the current principal and vice principal of Crystal Prep in search of a cure for the students’ condition, what has transpired in the park since our departure?” Luna asked. “Well sometime after you left, the students have gone crazy like a bunch of hyper five-year-olds and they’re wrecking the park,” Swift Sweep said. “And the navy one, Flash Sentry, he was trying to keep some order but now well…” as Swift Sweep winced, he pointed to Flash Sentry, or what was left of him, playing some kind of footsie, patty cake hybrid game with a pastel yellow egg that used to be Bonbon.

The 10 of them all looked on in horror at Flash’s transformation; they were hoping he could help in maintaining some sense of order and civility here, but those hopes seemed to be dashed very quickly. “Flashy having fun. Rainbow joiwn?” The childish athlete mentally begged her Vice Principal. “Fine,” Luna said, “you can join him.” and just like that, Rainbow bolted off to play with her fellow eggs but just then Pinkie Pie starts getting even more energetic than usual, which is unusual in and of itself. “EGGIES HAVING FUN PINKEE WANNA JOIN NOW WANNA HAVE NUTHIN BUT FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FOREVAA FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN…” And on she went, as she began bouncing up and done, up and done like a super charged rubber ball which was more than a little concerning.

Sci-Twi begged with her to contain herself “Pinkie Pie stop it you can play with the other eggs later.” No response which was concerning, very much so Sci-Twi decided to delve deeper into her conscious mind, but all she can hear is the echoing void of her mind is the reverberating sounds of laughing children.

“What is this? Pinkie, come in! Can you hear me WHAT'S WRONG?!” Sci-Twi pleaded in terror not wanting to accept the dire implications ever as the childish giggling filled her consciousness. “WHY?! WHY?! WON’T YOU ANSWER DANG IT!!” It was then that Sunset came up behind her and began to stroke the shell of her purple classmate with her left foot to calm her down. “Forget it,” She said with all the blunt force of a lead sledgehammer, “I don’t think that we can reach her.” “BUT WE HAVE TO!!” Twilight screamed out, “IT CAN’T END LIKE THIS NOT WHEN WE’RE THIS CLOSE TO HAVING A CURE!!” “I know how you feel,” Sunset empathetically replied, “But we may need to face the facts. Pinkie's gone Twilight, that's just an egg, a thing... our friend is gone." If Twilight still had eyes, she would be crying buckets right now because there was no Pinkie PIe right now, only a bounding impulse and instinct driven Pink Egg, whose mind was less than even a 3-month-old infant.

“Aww, Pinkee look like havun fun,” Rarity pouted. “Yeah, why Raree and Flootershi didn't join her in da funz?” said Fluttershy now beginning to regress herself. This rattled Applejack immensely as she was worried that she could be next. “Oh no, not Fluttershy! This is bad, this is super bad!!” the ovified cowgirl panicked. “But why did Pinkie go mindless right now?” Starlight queried, “after all, we’re at the park and not even two hours have passed.”

“I think I have a theory.” Sunset explained. “It seems like the speed and rate of those who become mindless depends on their personality, how mature they are, their general mood, overall intelligence etc.” Trixie then speaks up, not surprised by the outcome at all, “Well, Pinkie was always more in touch with her inner child than the rest of us so that explains a lot, And Rainbow’s sore loser tendencies and Rarity being vain likely explained why there were the first to regress as well.” “Yes exactly,” Sunset affirmed, “And by that train of Logic I’m afraid that Twilight, me, and Starlight will be the last to go.”

Luna’s faith in this situation was beginning to falter. If their students were beginning to regress faster than they could find a cure, how could this Easter be saved? She hoped her big sister had a solution, and she began to silently pray for Celestia’s success. “Oh, sister. Please hurry.”

Five hours and 12 minutes remaining...

Meanwhile, Principal Celestia and her group arrive at idyllic Camp Everfree to find more potential allies in their journey, and fortunately today is the day that Juniper Montage is shooting her new student-film with Gloriosa Daisy as the lead actress.

“Oh, hello Celestia. How is your Easter going?” Gloriosa asked, oblivious to the concerned look on Celestia’s face that turned into one of anger at that innocently callous remark.

“Oh, it’s going swell, Ms. Gaia Everfree.” Just then after her acidic reply to the camp’s air became filled with tension the mood changed from a gentle spring breeze to a roiling summer thunderstorm as Gloriosa did not like being reminded of the “incident” at all. “Hey, I’m reformed, and I regret the whole crazy plant woman thing.” “DON’T PLAY GAMES WITH MY EMOTIONS!!!” Celestia yelled out, “I know you and that cinephile Jupiter have tampered with Equestrian magic in the past, so that means you two are prime suspects in the curse that’s turning my students into walking eggs. Did you do something to our eggs?!” Principal Celestia demanded.

The two girls just stood there for a moment crossed glances at each other clearly both of them were more than a little concerned “Walking eggs?” They both thought “Has this lady snapped?” But despite their confusion at the whole situation Cadence quickly calmed Celestia down and explained the situation to the two of them. “To cut a long story short we were on a field trip and our students including my sister-in-law, have been turned into walking eggs and will become mindless husks forever in about five hours unless we find the culprit and cure them.”

“Well,” Said Gloriosa, clearly overwhelmed by the whole story told before her. “You should have said so from the start.” “...and for your information,” Jupiter snootily replied, "No. All I was doing was filming my latest Magnum Opus of a film with Gloriosa Daisy here as the female lead no less.” Juniper replied, her voice showing not only her honesty but also her tremendous ego.

“Oh, I love movies!!” cried out Spike. “What’s it about?” At that question, Jupiter’s smile seemed to grow to twice its normal size. “It is a science Fantasy retelling of one of Greek mythology's most well-known tales. Persephone’s Abduction by Hades. I call it PRINCESS PERSEPHONE'S ESCAPE FROM TARTARUS 9!!! It has everything: action, romance, tragedy, comedy, lost loves, surprise twists, moral conflicts, and an ending you won’t believe!!” Jupiter finished with her smile, still putting a crocodile to shame, clearly, she had high hopes for her project

“Okay… good to know, but first let me see your camera.” Cadence requested, and sure enough she complied, handing it to the Crystal Prep Principal for review in order to check if she was as innocent as she claims.

Cadence and Shining would go over the film together while Spike and Celestia waited but after hearing the strange noises the couple were making, he went to investigate. SPike looked up and saw the pair with frozen faces of absolute disgust and turned to the Screen his face changed to a similar expression. The movie was something to be sure… but at least the innocence of both Juniper and Ms. Daisy can be confirmed. “Well, what do you think?” said Juniper, clearly hoping for praise. Cadence didn’t know how to respond. She knew that this film was well… utter trash was too nice of a word to describe the incomprehensible mess that she saw but she needed to give an answer. “It was…. unique, I appreciate the originality of your vision.” She said to the movie snob to which Juniper’s face glowed at the response. “In any case we know now that you two are innocent so you can go back to your film now.”

“I beg to differ.” said a stern female voice, it was Wallflower. The normally meek gardener was starting to stand up for herself which shocked all present. Juniper and Gloriosa, who have not met her yet, were curious about the nature of this bold girl before them and wanted to talk with her. “Who are you?” Gloriosa inquired. “Wallflower Blush head of Canterlot High’s Eco club, And I was wondering if you two may help us reversing this Egg curse. Are you both in?” Wallflower asked. “Sure,” said Juniper. I need to pay back the girls for the Mirror fiasco and besides it might provide my inspiration for a new movie.” Gloriosa then chimed in herself. “Yeah, and I need to owe up to the Gaia Everfree incident as well, so let’s all work together.” Things were looking up now that they had two new allies, but their next challenge will be nowhere near as easy or amiable.

Four hours and 56 minutes remaining...

Back in Equestria Land, more students/eggs have become mindless, shells of themselves (Pun not intended) as Luna and Swift Sweep race around the park as they were trying to catch the newly mindless Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy who were just wildly running around for the sake of running, the sake of vestibular stimulation.

“Rainbow! Fluttershy! Stop this instant!” Luna requested, but Nothing for her task was to no avail; the two were simply too stupid, too hedonistic and primitive to grasp the concept of identity and names outside of the most rudimentary elements of such things. As far as they were concerned, stimulation and amusement were their one and only concern.

They continued running and running until they suddenly screeched to a halt like a deer in the headlights. As Luna and Swift Sweep stopped to catch their breath, they noticed that the two had stopped near Pinkie, Applejack, Rarity and Trixie (The latter three having long gone mindless about 45 minutes ago).

“Phew, thank goodness those crazy eggs have calmed down. I don’t think I could have gone any longer without collapsing.” Swift Sweep said, his body sweating profusely from the sheer exhaustion of his task. “I agree,” said Luna as she swept the perspiration from her brow. “You know you don’t need to continue helping me, you have done more than enough.” But Swift Sweep was not deterred by that statement. “Are you crazy?!” He said “No one has ever given me that much money since I started working and you're much kinder to me than any of the other patrons, or even my boss and coworkers. Luna, I will stick by your side no matter what because I don’t care about the 15 dollars anymore, I just want to repay your and your sister’s kindness.” Immediately Luna’s expression softened, and she started to smile a little, clearly touched by his earnestness “Thank you, Swift Sweep, but take a break for now, you’ve earned it.” she said and thus he decided to sit down and take a much-needed breather.

Twilight, Starlight, and Sunset the only three sane girls left were also baffled by the scene and noticed the changes in the behavior of their friends, or what used to be their friends. Sure, they were still wandering aimlessly like zombies, but they weren’t running at breakneck speed or breaking everything, and even more weirdly they were staying in near lock step never breaking off and always sticking in formation. “Creepy,” said Sunset, “What’s making them act like that, and not go crazy and run around wildly like the other eggs?” “I don’t know,” Said Twilight, “But maybe I can probe what’s left of their minds and find the answers there.” And so Twilight did just that telepathically delving into the egg white and laughter filled remnants of her friends’ minds, and there she finds an unexpected discovery, the flickering and eroded remains of the memories of their friendship left within them, they’re in there but hazy, not forgotten but not real memories either, like something akin to muscle memory in their cerebellums, So at last it made this situation bittersweet after all even if they become mindless eggs forever they will still be friends.

“Sunset, I got good news, even if they are mindless, they still remember our friendship and all the good times we had?” Twilight said with pure elation. “Okay that is reassuring,” said Sunset, “But how long will they remember those memories?” That Question made Twilight’s metaphorical heart sink a little (She didn’t know if her egg form had a heart within her) But she was still a little hopeful that everything would turn out alright in some way or another. “I don’t really know how long but I hope it’s at least a year, so it may not be as bad as we thought,” she theorized.

Meanwhile Starlight noticed Trixie and Starlight decided to go near her old friend once again in the hopes of drawing something resembling her old personality out. “Hey Twilight,” Starlight inquired. “Is it alright if I go near Trixie and check if she remembers me or anything from her old life?” “Sure,” Twilight consented, “It’s worth a shot.” And so, Starlight went off to converse to Trixie hoping against hope that she was still in there “Don’t worry Trixie I’m coming and if everything goes right and go back to being the Gaa-gaa Babo of Beshtest Fwends!!” and then Starlight’s heart would begin to sink; perhaps she would be joining her Prestigitator friend in mindlessness sooner than she expected.

Twilight Heard this and she would begin to grow even more Anxious by the second. “Oh Celestia, where is that cure?”

“Sure,” Twilight consented, “It’s worth a shot.” And so, Starlight went off to converse to Trixie hoping against hope that she was still in there “Don’t worry, Trixie. I’m coming, and if everything goes right and go back to being the Gaa-gaa Babo of beshtest fwends!!” and then Starlight’s heart would begin to sink; perhaps she would be joining her prestidigitator friend in mindlessness sooner than she expected.

Twilight heard this and she would begin to grow even more anxious by the second. “Oh, Celestia. Where is that cure?”

Three hours and 27 minutes remaining...

The grown-ups and Spike arrive at the local stadium to meet an old foe they never thought they'd see again, The Dazzlings. Apparently after getting defeated by the Rainbooms they journeyed around the country and became a pretty popular Idol group and had money and fans to burn. And now they had returned to town for a new concert this Easter which Celestia found a little too convenient. So Celestia arrived at The Dazzlings’ dressing room and began to pound on the door to it shouting at the pernicious pop stars to open up to her. “ADAGIO!! ADAGIO YOU MANIPULATIVE WITCH! COME OUT HERE AND TALK TO ME!!!” to which she hears a condescending voice from behind oozing with an all too recognizable mix of smugness and sadism. “You could have knocked more gently.” the voice said, and the door was opened and Celestia’s party see’s Adagio, Aria and Sonata getting their nails ready for the big Easter concert.

“Okay, “Dagi.” Spill it!!” Principal Celestia commanded as she slammed Adagio’s vanity desk. “You and I both know you have something to do with the Ovification spell affected my students.”

Adagio smugly replied with a fittingly haughty response. “Why Celestia, you know me too well!! In fact, for your information I-” “OH MY GOSH IT’S THE DAZZLINGS!!!!” The moment that sounds of pure fanboying was uttered; the atmosphere of pure, unfiltered, mutual resentment that consumed the room had faded instead replaced by one of utter perplexment. Because yes that shout came from none other than Shining Armor much to the confusion of the two grown women and one talking puppy. “OH, MISS ADAGIO I LOVE YOU AND YOUR MUSIC SO SO MUCH I OWN ALL YOUR ALBUMS, OWN MOST OF YOUR MERCH, HAVE RECORDINGS OF ALL OF THE COMMERCIALS YOU STARED IN, including that one hot sauce commercial that wasn’t your best, AND I AM ALSO WEARING THREE OF THE T SHIRTS MADE TO PROMOTE YOUR FIFTH ALBUM AFFAIR WITH THE LADY LUCK!!!!” Shining then tore off his clothes to indeed reveal that yes, he was wearing those aforementioned T-shirts on his person looking like an absolute dork all the while. No-one knew what to make of this Celestia was just standing there with her Eye twitching. While Cadence had her face cupped in her hands at the sheer embarrassment of the sight, Wallflower, Juniper and Glorisa were scratching their heads at the sight, and Spike was well Laughing his little doggy butt off at this whole situation. As for the sirens, Adagio's face turned from a healthy yellow-orange to pale white at the site of meeting the dreaded Super fan, and Aria was similarly Horrified and Sonata well she took it better than the rest. “Oh, wow! He must really like us, but isn’t he like married?” Sonata inquired in her usual ditzy manner, to which Aria face palmed herself at the sight of her sister’s sheer idiocy and silently mused to herself about how much of a blessing it was in addition to being a curse.

Adagio didn’t know What to do or say after this but she managed to work up the courage to re-compose her and gulp shake his hand. “Ummm, thank you, esteemed fan for showing us your… dedication.” Adagio said before emitting a nervous chuckle, after that she turned back to Celestia. “Anyways yes, I know of the curse plaguing your brats, in fact I gave the mastermind of this little scheme the spell book they needed to cause everyone in Canterlot High School especially Sunset and her little “friends” to turn into helpless, brainless chicken eggs. But I didn’t cause all that mess though. Oh, sure I did want them all to suffer, and I did help out, but I didn’t do the actual cursing part of the plan. In fact, me, Ari, and Sona were getting ready for our big Easter Sunday show.” she confessed with more than a little hint of malice in her voice.

“Listen, Adagio. I don’t like you and your sisters, especially not after you Mind controlled me and my students and plunged Canterlot high into chaos. But I still need your help. You know more about Equestrian magic than anyone here so please help us turn the children in my care back to normal” Principal Celestia earnestly pleaded. “WAIT WHAT?!?!” Cadence Shouted in protest. “Why should we let these monst-” Before she could finish her sentence her Husband immediately bolted in front of her to offer his own (very biased) opinion on the matter “I approve them joining us on our Heroic Quest Celestia!!” Cadence was not pleased about this in the slightest “Shiny what you doing?! Those monsters are the reason our Little Sister is cursed right now!!” Cadence Whispered into his ear. “Indirectly” Shining retorted “So they are clearly the lesser of Two evils in this situation.” Oh, if he knew the full extent of what those girls/ex-sea ponies have done he would not be as in love with them as he was here.

Adagio’s face changed for a brief moment looking almost sad and even regretful in countenance. Could it be that her time in the human world has changed her for the better? A tempting thought but one that was ruined by what came out of her mouth “PPFFFFFFFTTTTHHHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH OH THAT DUMB FACE YOU MADE BACK THERE!!! Please help me restore the children in my care. OH, OH MY GOD YOU SOUNDED LIKE A MOVIE CHARACTER!!! WHO TALKS LIKE THAT IN REAL LIFE!?!?!?!!” Adagio continued letting loose an epic and mocking laugh at Celestia, which aggravated Celestia so,so much her fist was physically trembling with pure anger right now because she wanted to deck that Siren in her stupid mug so much right now, but she calmed herself down and realized this was something that needed to be solved with Diplomacy. “Yeah, it was kind of stupid. And besides, why should we help you? We won’t save everyone from their little predicament, especially after that time when your “precious students” made us lose our siren magic!” Aria Blaze replied, being stubborn and belligerent as always.

Celestia had to admit Aria was right, but she couldn’t give up. Not here, not now her student’s futures depended on it; she racked her mind for possible answers to her plight. But for every promising outcome she envisioned it turned more unlikely the more she pondered, she grew more and more distraught over the situation until, bing a tiny light of inspiration went off in her head and she knew exactly what to say to these three little menaces. “It’s simple” She said with an understated yet very satisfied and smug grin “If Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle, the only humans who understand equestrian magic better than you become mindless walking eggs, you and your little posse won’t get your siren magic back and you’ll be stuck as humans forever! Do you really want that to happen hmmm?” Celestia’s grin widened at that remark because she knew she had The Dazzlings in checkmate.

Adagio was sweating bullets right now. She knew it was a trap, she knew she would regret this in the future. But oh, how she wanted to get her magic back and return to Equestria and brainwash those stupid land ponies!! To make them grovel before her, to break them, to force them to drink the seawater she swam in!! But now she was at an impasse. She really wanted to get her magic back, but she also did not want to give Celestia the victory. At this moment she decided the best option was to give a non-committal response “Uh, I don’t know about that… I’ll think about it…” Adagio said, not hiding her nervousness in the slightest. Her sisters however were much more pliant “NO!!!” Aria and Sonata Shouted “Dagi, you need to help; I don't want to spend the rest of my days as a weak little human!!” Aria begged.

“Please, Dagi? We have to help them out. It’s worth the risk.” Sonata pleaded, then her and Aria gave Dagi their secret weapon, the dreaded Puppy Dog Eyes and at that she couldn’t refuse.

“Ugh, fine. We’ll help” Adagio said, very annoyed, “But I’m only doing this because my magic powers are on the line. And just like that Celestia was one step Closer to saving her students even as the eleventh hour drew near.

Two hours and 32 minutes remaining...

Back at Equestria Land, Vice Principal Luna starts to pace anxiously, her stomach growing heavy with concern and her mind racing with images of every worst-case scenario her sister could encounter, worried that Celestia may not make it in time. As almost every egg in the park was mindless and very hyper causing no end of trouble.

Sci-Twi and Sunset, now the only conscious eggs left, have a telepathic chat with each other. “Sun Sun?” Twilight asked. “Iz Celeestiuh gonna make da cure and make uz hoomanz again?” She asked, her personality having regressed to that of a two-year-old but her mind is still sharp enough to have semi-normal conversations with others.

“Don’t worry, Twi-Twi.” Sunset said, her speech similarly infantile. “Celly gonna come with Prin-Prin Twi Twi’s cure and make uus all hoomanz again.” Twilight was relieved at that sight, but then Sunset said something that concerned her a little. “But we go maindloss no seem to bad, ebewyone iz all happies all da time, no wowwiez about homewek, datez or utha teen stuff, It kinda…” Just then Sunset noticed thinking became much harder for her and realized two things, her time is up, and she must embrace the inevitable.

“Thinkin’.... Tooo hawd…. Me forget name. See… you… soon… Twi-Twi…” and this she walks off to join her ovified friends, knowing her mindlessness has finally come.

However, Twilight would not accept it “SUN-SUN!!! SUN-SUN!!! COMW BWACK!!!” No reply, only Laughter like all the others. She knew that she was next… so she kneeled down and began to sob. “Me no wanna forget being Twi-twi, Me like being teen, Me like being hooman, not wanna be egg yet..” But fate had other plans for her as within the mindscape she began to regress into a newborn and as one last act of defiance against the encroaching non sapience sent a Mental cry to all who would listen. "Spikey, Celly, Lulu, Mama. Me scared, please help me..." Just then after that the last plea for help the mental Twilight de-aged and shrunk more not even an infant, she was now a mindless embryo that shrunk and shrank and shrunk until *poof* There was no person left. There’s only a yellow sphere rumbling in a psychic void white as lead carbonate and then that void begins to move. The tittering of gleeful toddlers, the bubbling of egg white, the jostling of its yolk. That was what the Purple Egg knew now.

Because for all intents and purposes, Twilight Sparkle was gone, erased, dead. Now there was only Purple Egg because that was it, a simple living ovum with legs.

One with a simplistic mind and a sub infantile consciousness verging on true-non sapience. It had no concept of gender, names, humanity, language, science or anything from its old life really. The Purple Egg loved that, it loved being mindless, it loved being a living object, it loved being an egg. Because on some level, Purple Egg knew there was a time it was hatched and then it was no longer an egg, and it had to deal with a bunch of nasty grown up stuff, it was icky but now it was back to being an egg. and from now on it lived only to be an egg to wander to play and mingle with its egg friends, so Purple Egg went to play with its fellow mindless eggs Green Egg, Red Egg, Cyan Egg, Indigo Egg and all the other eggs in the fun place they were in, and it's instincts hoped that this would last forever."

One hour and fifty-five minutes remaining...

The Manehatten Academy for Society’s future upper stratum. One of the most prestigious and legendary boarding schools in the country. For over 150 years it has dedicated itself to cultivating the greatest politicians, scientists, judges, entrepreneurs and other great people who would shape society for decades to come. This was a School that prized tradition and history but was also a very orderly, disciplined and almost militaristic school where adherence to authority and tradition was rewarded and individuality was punished and ridiculed. Even more so following the arrival of it’s newest vice principal, one Abacus Cinch, rendering this the final stop on Celestia’s Journey bringing with her, Crystal Prep’s Principal and the principal’s husband, SPike and several reformed (And 3 non-reformed) Villains into the Lobby as quickly as possible. Entering the school they found its interior was far more luxurious than Canterlot could ever be, Pure gold and marble statues of past alumni of historical renown are everywhere, a running fountain in the center that wouldn’t look out of place in a public park, A JUICE BAR!!! All of a Sudden Celestia felt very very very small. Adagio then noticed the envy building in the Principal and could not resist the urge to tease her about it. “Jeeeeeaaaaallllllloussssssss much?” Adagio said in a ridiculing tone. “Shut up!!” Celestia said “Or I’ll throw you back to the ocean depths that spawned you!!!” To which Adagio gave her a raspberry.

Thanks to Cadence uploading the school’s floor plan on her phone ahead of time, they were making good progress though that didn’t mean there were a few hassles on the way to the VP’s office. The first of these was a pair of snooty rich girls who did not like the looks of Wallflower and the other “Plebeian Students” that came here with them. “I must say Perfect Poise,” said one girl with grey skin and silver and yellow hair “Are those Plebeians walking around in our school?” “Indeed, they are Platinum Ingot,” said Perfect Poise, who possessed a deep magenta skin tone and raspberry red hair, “I do believe they might be trying to become students here.” I see,” Ingot replied “Though considering their standing in life they would be better applying for positions as Servants instead!!!” THe two then let loose an incredible haughty laugh you know the one. Wallflower cringed at the sight of it. “I am starting to hate this school, so much right now.” She grumbled to herself. Juniper noticed and pecked her up a little. “Don’t worry, Wallflower, we won't be here for long.” At least that’s what she hoped.

But then a more substantial roadblock appeared in their path, a Very large and Very muscle bound secretary by the name of Lunk, the newest Lacky of Cinch and he would be somewhat difficult to surmount as he prized procedure above all else. Lunk adjusted his small glasses with his large and surprisingly dexterous hands and noticed ten uninvited visitors at his desk and approaching his employer and knew that he must do on his many sacred missions, Vetting them through paperwork. “WHOA WHOA WHOA THERE!” Lunk shouted out “I Don’t who you are, or what you're doing here but I can tell that you want to go see my boss without following the proper procedures and one thing’s for sure you gotta go through me.” Celestia grunted at this because she A. did not have time for this and B., she was certain that the moment she drove away from Wallflower’s house Her and Cadence set an appointment for today. “Lunk, it’s me Celestia, Principal of Canterlot High, I called you literally five hours ago.” “Well then I think you might be right let me just check the file of you that I made, you know I really love filing things it’s like with that one Jamaican guy on TV, It’s my life's calling one might even say, I even came up with a personalized system of sorting it’s starts with date of birth, then it goes to…” the younger girls zoned out while Lunk continued discussing his love of filing and his system, Which impressed Celestia as she did not believe anyone could love bureaucracy in the way that this man did. But Spike was different, his owner and sister figure were going to metaphorically Die, and he was not going to let anything get in the way of that, so he walked forward. “Spike what are you doing?” Cried out Cadence. “I know what I’m doing, trust me okay.” The puppy hopped up to his desk and began to talk with him. “Sup big guy I heard you big into categorization.” Lunk raised his eyebrows at the sight but took it better than most “Wowzers, a Talking dog!! I heard about someone like you from the Boss-lady. I mean I Thought it was like a ventriloquist act but color me surprised!! Looks like it wasn't one of her crazy ramblings at all.” Spike stopped a little to process what Lunk just said before responding. “Hold up, crazy ramblings?” “Yeah, I know Cinch went a little cuckoo after the Canterlot High Friendship Games, I don’t know if it was because she was a Sore loser, or the stress got to her, but she kept going On and on about this magical world of Talking ponies and Dragons and what not. HA!!! What a riot that Cinch.” Spike knew that if the Princess or Sunset were here, they would have some very strong things to say about that, but he remained focused on his tasks and knew exactly what to do. “So, you said you’ve memorized everyone’s date of birth huh?” Lunk nodded eagerly to Spike's Question. “Great, tell me what her date of birth is?” Spike pointed his left forepaw at Gloriosa and Lunk began to immediately screen his files for the proper data and then he found it and said, “It’s June 14th, 1997” “Very good Lunk,” Spike said “..and her dates” Pointing to Wallflower, he replied instantly “August 8th, 2002." “Amazing, Lunk,” said Spike. “You deserve a reward for such diligence, how about this ball?” Lunk then jumped up like a 4-year-old in response to the Red Rubber Spike pulled out from his “Pocket?” “Oh, A ball. Oh, I love balls!” Lunk reached out to grab it and he did but he also grabbed it so hard it recoiled out of his hands. He tried picking it up again only for the same outcome to repeat itself, and again and again, much to his frustration “Accursed spheroidal menace!!!” Lunk began to repeat the motion with greater frequency until it started to bounce around the hallway “GET BACK HERE, YOU WONDERFUL, YET ANNOYING BOUNCING FORBIDDEN FRUIT!!!” Spike rubbed his color for a Job well done all the while the Celestia and her cohorts were stunned by what Spike just did. “How did you do that?!” They asked in unison. “Simple,” Spike explained “I watch a lot of cartoons with Twilight, and I knew his type: Big muscles and small brain, but enough talk. We gotta save Twilight."

After the Lunk Incident the time finally entered Cinch’s office only to notice something was wrong with the woman herself. “CELESTIA MY OLD ACQUAINTANCE OH AND BROUGHT THE BROTHER AND SISTER-IN-LAW OF ONE OF MY STAR STUDENTS HOW DELIGHTFUL COME ON SIT DOWN, SIT DOWN!!” Cinch was nice, as in the creepy nice that’s usually reserved for Hollywood types, so Celestia cautiously accepted. “Thank you, Abacus,… you didn’t have to do this much for me.” “Nonsense” The normally inflexible Vice principal said “I’d do anything to help a fellow educator so tell me about this “Curse your experiencing” Celestia relayed her story to Cinch but while she talked Spike wandered off and noticed a large brown trench coat covered in what looked like glitter so he went to investigate and upon looking at so that it looked familiar, He took a sniff and it reminded him of the weird scent of the easter eggs… Twilight and him found….. Horror then gripped Spike’s mind as Cinch began to bring out a strange pedant, but then at the eleventh hour he said. “CELESTIA GET AWAY NOW SHE’S TRYING TO TRICK YOU!!!” Immediately Celestia vaulted out of the oak chair she sat in as Cinch blew some dust in her direction. Thankfully, she escaped just in time to witness the chair transform into a large wooden egg. “Rats,” The principal grumbled with the venom Celestia remembered. “I missed.” “Abacus so you are the-” “Yes Yes Yes I am.” Cinch proudly admitted but then she grew more and more deranged as she spoke “YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YEEEEEEEESSS! IT WAS ME CELESTIA!! IT WAS ME!!! IT WAS ME ALL ALONG!!!!

This behavior was more than a little disturbing, The Abacus Cinch Celestia remembered, was cold, aloof, focused and reserved, not a rambling madwoman straight out of the superhero comics she read as a little girl, but before she could come up with an answer Cadence shouted out her own through teary eyes. “WHY CINCH WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO CHILDREN OF ALL THINGS!?!?!”

At that moment, Cinch snapped her head to Cadence Like an owl that spotted a succulent mouse and began to go on a truly unhinged rant that left everyone sick to their stomachs. “WHY!?!?! WHY?!!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!!?!? Oh, I’ll tell you why. IT’S REVENGE OF COURSE!!!! Not just against your school, but one teeny tiny student in particular: our darling TWILIGHT SPARKLE OF COURSE!!?!” The hate that came out of her after mentioning her name in particular was visible for all. “IT WAS BECAUSE OF HER THAT I LOST EVERYTHING MY POSITION AT CRYSTAL PREP!!! MY PRESTIGE!!! AND THE WORST PART NO BELIEVED ME WHEN I TOLD THEM ABOUT A WORLD OF MAGIC AND RIDICULED ME, THEY ALL CALLED ME CRACKPOT AND WHEN I DECIDED TO DISCIPLINE MY WRETCHED HUSBAND FOR ATTEMPTING TO CHALLENGE WHAT YOU AND I BOTH KNOW IS TRUE THAT INGRATE SENT ME TO A MENTAL HOSPITAL **sobs** but I got out and I knew what to do get rid of her. “I know she loves Snort neeerdy books and science and computers, and smart stuff. And I decided what a great pleasure it would be in robbing her of such a gift by turning her into a snack on legs and her friends get to join her. “Friendship is Magic” more like “FRIENDSHIP IS BREAKFAST!!!”

Cinch let loose a maniacal laugh that reached the heavens; it was then that they all knew for fact that she was insane. Certifiably, utterly mad. Even Adagio was disgusted by this, sure she was evil, but she had some morals and was one of the lines she dared not cross. “I will stop you for this.” Celestia stated matter of factly with a stance indicating she was willing to die for the children in her care. “Oh Celestia” Cinch pined “So brave, so Strong, SO READY TO BE MADE INTO AN OMELET!!!!” Cinch opened up her pendant again and blew a Cloud of curse dust in her direction she accepted her apparent fate but before it could reach her… Celestia NO!!!" In an uncharacteristic show of selflessness from Adagio she jumps in front of the dust cloud but suffers the price as she, Aria, and Sonata all become walking eggs. "Aaah, looks the big bad sea monsters aren't as hard boiled as I thought!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" But as Cinch was gloating the Sirens charged her. After all, they were now 5 '6 tall giant eggs with rather hard shells and legs so they decided to take advantage of that and send the principal reeling to the floor. Celestia then grabbed the pendant that fell off her person and grabbed before joining the Egg dogpile and making her demands to the Demented educator. “TELL ME WHERE THE SPELLBOOK FOR THE CURSE IS SO I CURE MY CHILDREN OR I WILL TURN YOU INTO AN EGG AND LEAVE YOU TO WASTE AWAY AND BECOME INANIMATE!!! Cinch then replied in a mocking sing-song “I’m not gonna tell you, I’m not gonna tel you.” all of a sudden Celestia’s rage turned from red hot to ice cold as she realized this wretched woman was beyond salvation. “I see well it was nice knowing you.” Cinch’s deranged grind faded and turned to fearful expression as she realized what was coming “Wait, Celestia what are doing? Don’t do this your not this kind of person I-I Know this right? Hehehe Right?!” Celestia took a deep breath and was ready to inhale into the curse dust until “STOOOOOP STOP IT I DON’T WANNA BE AN EGG THE BOOK IS ONE THE TOP OF THE LEFT BOOKSHELF SPARE PLEASE!!! OH, PLEASE I’M SORRY!!!” Celestia stopped, closed the pendant backup and gestured for the Dazzling eggs to leave the room. “That’s all I needed to hear, Shining Armor?” Shining pulled a bundle of rope they have been saving for just such an occasion and after hearing how much this one woman loathed his sister, he was eager to try it out. “Don’t worry this produce won’t hurt…much.”

One hour and 48 minutes remaining...
The moment Celestia told Princess Twilight she got the spell book she warped over to Manehatten Academy and began working overtime to whip a cure. The adults and reformed students watched not Shining armor and spike they were watching over a bound Cinch.

Meanwhile, the Dazzling eggs were sitting down waiting to be tested for the cure with Adagio rapidly stepping her foot down waiting for her to be done mixing. Eventually however, the princess was finished and whipped up a cauldron full of bubbling lime green sludge, the apparent cure for their condition, but it needed to be tested. So, she walked over to the Dazzling eggs and took a deep breath “Here goes everything.” said the Princess as she tossed the mixture on the Pop Idols, at first nothing but then their shells began to bulge and warp and bloat until… BOOM they exploded out in a shower of shell bits and albumen revealing the Dazzlings alive, but naked and miraculously not covered in egg white. “Oh, my sun!! It works, It works!!!!” the princess jumped in glee that she was able to make it work in such a short time though she did wish for it to be a little less explosive, Celestia realized she hadn’t yet thanked Adagio for all her hard work. “Thank you Adagio it meant a lot” The siren then poutted and blushed. “Don’t say that I just did it for getting my magic back, not because I like you.” She wasn't fooling anyone, not even her own sisters. Maybe she did have a heart after all. But then Celestia felt a sharp pain in her Mind and then heard a familiar voice, Twilight’s voice "Spikey, Celly, Lulu, Mama. Me scared, please help me..." She was in peril and Celestia knew she needed to Move it. “Oh no… TWILIGHT'S IN DANGER! WE NEED TO GO KNOW!!!” The princess fortunately was prepared for this. “I managed to put the cure sludge into these leaf blowers, just fire them at the eggs and their cured until then, Good luck and Good bye everyone.” Princess twilight warped back to the mirror and to and Celestia was getting ready for her do or die moment. “Cadence” she said “How long do we have until the curse is permanent?” Cadence looked at her smartwatch and it was grim “1 hour and forty-five minutes.” Celestia knew time was not her side so her ragtag team jumped in her care and off they went to Equestria Land to save the students and Easter before it was ruined forever.

To be continued...

Chapter 5: Hatching Time

1 hour and 35 minutes remaining

With no time to lose, Celestia drove her car at max speed with Spike, Shining Armor, Cadence and the rest of her new allies in tow and Cinch tied up in the back. Time was short and their hopes were growing low, but now with the cure in hand, this Easter could be saved.

“I hope this is enough,” Celestia sobbed to herself. Clearly, the desperation of this was getting to her. She began to fear that this would never work. “Have hope, Celestia,” Cadence reassured “If we could have done all of this in just 6 hours, we can save the kids and Twilight” “Thank you Cadence, that helps a lot” said Celestia. Soon they stopped at the Equestria Land parking lot and then went in to meet their destiny.

Just then, one of the Parks ticket vendors rushed up in a panic to meet the principal. “Please, Ms. Celestia. DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR KIDS! THEY’RE DESTROYING EVERYTHING IN THE PARK!!! “Madam I know they can be hard to control, but how much… damage… can a couple of eggs. Do… oh my,” Celestia clearly overestimated just how bored and starved for amusement the walking eggs were and the chaos that can erupt from it. The ex-students were running roughshod around the park as driven solely by a primal need for joy and stimulation they began to cause mayhem hijacking attractions, tipping over carts and generally being a nuisance to what patrons still remained and the staffers of the establishment in general. Celestia and the others stood there shocked by the sight she knew they could be a handful but not this much of a handful. And then emerging from the Chaos was a battered and bruised Luna drained and very tired from having to herd these feisty eggs. “SISTER YOU’RE BACK!!!” Luna shouted in relief “PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE THE CURE?!” Celestia turned around and showed her the leaf blower filled with Bright green magical goop “I do have it, sister. I’ve even loaded up a blower for you/” she replied, relieving the blue skinned woman of her troubles for the most part.

“Oh, Celestia. Thank you. Now let’s go help the-” Just then Luna paused and scanned her surroundings and saw not just Twilight’s dog and her brother as well as Cadence but also Wallflower Blush, Juniper Montage and Gloriosa Daisy and three faces she had never wanted to see again. “WHAT THE SISTER!!! WHY ARE THE DAZZLINGS HERE?!” Luna cried out in outrage and confusion. “I know you're a bit mad,” Celestia said “But they have agreed to help us for their own reasons of course.” Adagio then spoke up on behalf of herself and her sisters to explain their motives, “Just to be sure I’m only doing this for the sake of getting our Siren magic back, not out of the kindness of our hearts.” Luna then took a breath and thought that was fair enough but her confusion over the situation only grew when she saw Abacus Cinch hog tied and gagged before her. She wanted to ask a question but knew that wouldn’t work and so decided the reasonable thing to do was let Celestia explain this when the crisis is over. “I suppose there is a good reason as to why Crystal Prep’s former Principal is bound and gagged before me?” she inquires. “There is,” said Celestia “But that is not important right now for we must-” Unfortunately, Wallflower would interrupt the principal with a simple but genuine question. “Not to make you lose time Ms. Celestia, But didn’t Luna say she had an assistant helping her keep the eggs in check, where is he?”

Luna’s eyes then widened with horror at this as in the sudden outburst of chaos she had lost track of one person, that humble janitor who helped her throughout all of this Easter madness. “Oh No!! SWIFT SWEEP!!” She shouted out in horror “CELESTIA, WE HAVE TO HELP HIM NOW!!” Luna dragged her sister along with her impromptu party of allies to help the intrepid young man. Eventually, they found Swift Sweep near a haunted house, holding on for dear life to a wildly bouncing Purple Egg that used to be the brilliant and young Twilight Sparkle. Along with her, the other 7 colored eggs that were formerly her friends dancing in thoughtless joy fueled spontaneity at the site in enjoying their playtime with the Broom-man. “Ms. Sparkle,” he said, “I don’t know what’s going on in your mind, but you should stop this at once.” But it was like before an exercise in futility because there wasn’t that much of a mind left in the egg for him to reason with. Though there was just enough of one in there for Purple Egg to view him as a silly grown-up and decided “Broom-man funny, Purple should play harder.” and proceeded to spin around and send the poor janitor flying and crashing into a trash bin nearby. Groggy and with massive concussion, Celestia and co rushed to help him with Luna in particular being distraught over his state. “SWIFT SWEEP, ARE YOU OKAY!! DID SHE DEAL ANY SEVERE DAMAGE TO YOU!?” The janitor using his last energy of consciousness gave a thumbs up to Luna before saying “So worth the 15 dollars…” Before passing out. Luna then placed him on a bench and asked Celestia “Well, Twilight is there. Are you ready sister?” “More than ready.” she replied as the principal reached out to help her students.

Purple Egg then turned to meet the grownups as it danced around and felt they were weirdly familiar. Maybe they laid it or maybe they are prospective playmates who knows but they sure look like fun company. It then ran up to them hoping to greet its new playmates in the hopes of having them join it in thoughtless frockling and mayhem. “Celestia, Twilight’s running towards us!!” Shining shouted. “Then that must mean she must recognize us on some level,” said Celestia “Twilight, please accept this and come back to us.” Celestia prayed to herself and fired the sticky bright green glob of antidote at the Purple Egg at first it didn’t know what to make of this, perhaps it was a new game the grownups came up with? If so, it seemed fun, but the fun would end rather soon as in a second everything went dark.

The solution hit the Purple Egg, and in an instant it stopped. Inside the egg's mental world, there was no more childish laughter, no more bubbling egg white. Just silence, and then an explosion of light. As the psychic amino acids within it, the remains of Twilight Sparkle's thoughts and memories, began to assemble into proteins and proteins into cells and cells into organs and bones and muscles at the speed of light then on macro scale it grew from baby to child to teenager. the magic of the solution causing embryogenesis and maturation to occur at a lightning pace.

Just then the egg's legs stiffened, and its ovular hide of calcium carbonate began to bulge and roil as something was emerging within it. it fell to the ground and began to roil and shift and change until *POP* its shell burst and scattered bits of deep purple eggshell and sticky egg white and yolk everywhere like it was a firecracker. In the center of the explosion however was a young lavender skinned teenage girl with blue hair that had magenta and pink streaks and a pair of glasses. It was clear to Celestia as she looked on in relief Twilight Sparkle was back and a human albeit a groggy one.

"Alright, It's a success! Now then, everyone let's get the-'' Just then the eggs assumed a more cautious stance as even with their minds, in spite of having an intelligence that hovers around the level of an amoeba and a flu virus their instincts were much sharper as they immediately went into overdrive with the following train of "thought" being the end result. GREEN STUFF=HATCHING, HATCHING= NO HAPPY, GREEN STUFF+HATCHING=NO HAPPY.

And thus, in an instant the childish tittering in their minds stopped and was replaced with a cacophonous blend of fearful screams and sobbing. For on a fundamental level, the walking eggs, these simple-minded creatures of pure infantilism and mindless joy knew that the viridian sludge those grownups wielded was the distilled form of their anathema, maturity and thus the eggs would scatter and flee in masses. Spike began to bark to the principals and co and managed to signal the danger. "Celestia, Luna, their scattering enmasse." Shining then grumbled to himself "Oh, great. As if this couldn't get more complicated." Principal Cinch then began to snicker to herself "Tick tock, people. You wouldn't want to see your precious little eggs get cracked, would you?" she began to laugh before Cadence silenced her again with a simple kick knocking her unconscious. "Honestly, why did she have to go full supervillain?" Luna was perplexed by this “Wait, full supervillain?” She queried. “What do you even mean by that?” “Again, long story” Celestia said “But right now we need to fix those children.” And so, the improvised rag team split their ways to cure every student they came across including the Egg 8 before it was too late.

58 minutes remaining

Pink Egg ran the fastest it had ever gone, for even by egg standards it loved fun, more than the others so by that metric it hated hatching just as much, it stopped after running and scanned the area around it for peril but then nothing and so it began to skip off and continue bounding around the park is it had done before. But unbeknownst to it, Juniper Montage was sitting there, silently waiting for her target as it bounced into view and then she made her move. “Party's over” she said to the Egg as she fired a blast of cure at the egg, and it would begin to plummet down to the floor and hatch into Pinkie Pie all while Juniper was busy geeking out over her action movie star-esque one liner.

Cyan Egg was enjoying this much more than the other eggs after all, for whatever reason, going fast made it happy, happier than the other eggs. Sure, the bad hatchy stuff was scary. It also provided the ample opportunity to go faster than ever. It was exciting and it was fun until it wasn't. Instantly Wallflower Blush slid out from behind a Merry-Go-Round and shot the Cyan Egg when it wasn’t looking. It then screeched to a halt before tumbling and explosively hatching back into Rainbow Dash. “Looks like I’m faster than you know.” said Wallflower smugly as she brought the jock back to the park entrance.

Orange Egg hated leaving the other eggs behind because it felt like its mission was to watch over them, but it had no choice. Those crazy pink grownups were going to shoot that icky hatchy stuff where it stood. “Come on, Applejack.” Cadence said “Stop resisting this. We need to get you back to normal.” “Exactly,” said Gloriosa Daisy “We’re worried about your wellbeing not to mention your family is probably even more worried than we are.” "Family" for some reason that sound (eggs didn't understand the nature of words) made Orange Egg happy not as happy as being an egg, but still happy but also a different happy that wasn't happy. This caused the Orange Egg to pause long enough for Cadence to deliver the shot and thus Applejack was brought back into the world.

Indigo Egg kept running. It had to keep running because if it stopped it would become a gross non-egg, even if the dog was chasing it seemed familiar and pretty cute it would never stop because hatching was a fate worse than stillbirth to the egg. "Sorry, Rarity" Spike said to ovified fashionista "I'm gonna have to slime you." and so with a shot from his puppy sized leaf blower, the Indigo Egg was hit and as thought returned to its- no her once vacant mind the first sentence that emerged was "UGGGH WHAT DO I FEEL ON MY SKIN!?"

Green Egg and Blue Egg remained tightly knit through all of this after all though Egg’s liked being in dozens these two more than others, love it. Because Green Egg felt a connection with Blue Egg that wanted it to stay close with its cerulean friend and Blue Egg felt the same way about Green Egg. Together they ran. hoping to stay unhatched and unfleshy forever, but that was foiled rather quickly. Suddenly, Aria Blaze jumped out from behind a concession booth and pinned Green Egg to the floor. “Ha, gotcha!” the hot-heated idol said, causing Blue Egg to shudder and run off in fear only for Sonata to come out and shoot both of them returning Starlight Glimmer and The Great and Powerful Ms. Lulamoon to normal. “Oh, yeah,” Sonata said in celebration of her victory. “But like shouldn’t they be chicks or something?” Aria facepalmed herself and began to explain why they, despite the appearance of their egg forms, were not chickens.

Around the roller coaster, Red Egg was doing its best attempt at stealth, because it was consumed by the fear it would be hatched, all the other eggs except it and Yellow had been hatched by the grownups so it knew it had to be cautious. But such caution was fruitless as Adagio would stand the egg down, and before it could turn away, she shot at the ovum and then the egg's shell quickly burst into the dazed form of Sunset Shimmer. Surprisingly, Adagio rushed to Hug her only for her to stop and realize what she was doing and pout like nothing happened, not that Sunset was awake enough to register it though.

Shining Armor rushed in pursuit of the Yellow Egg that was Fluttershy, but being that it used to be Fluttershy, it was naturally the most timid and fearful and once more he had lost track of her “Oh, why did I have to get the one that’s that hardest to catch.” He moaned and began to slow down, but unbeknownst to him, Yellow Egg hid under his nose in an alley between two sections of the Medieval section he found himself in. It was so scared all of its friends were gone and it was left to fend for itself. It hated this, but then a vision it saw itself but without legs, but it felt super-happy, even happier than being a walking egg and then a soothing voice filled its mind. “Wait it out, let the last of your human self-fade, and you become a perfect happy little egg forever” it decided to do just that and then it waited, waited until eternal happiness came to it.

Shining then began to wander throughout the simulated hamlet as he soon felt his phone vibrating and picked it out of his pocket. After turning it on he noticed a text from Cadence saying, “Look at the timer” it said he then pulled up his clock app and then his face changed into one of utter and complete shock as he realized he had screwed up massively.

ONE MINUTE REMAINING

With time not being on his side in the least he began to run around the village at breakneck speed desperately looking for Fluttershy double checking every house every space between them until with fifteens seconds on the clock left, he looks to his left and sees her form shadowed and crouching likely from exhaustion “AHA, GOTCHA!!” he says in relief as he pulls out his gun and the clock start ticking down. 10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… and with almost superhuman timing, Shining Armor then shot at the Yellow Egg with pinpoint accuracy, and in an instant Fluttershy is back in the literal nick of time they had done it all of Celestia's students were back to normal.

As the party returned to the entrance and they stopped to take in their victory, they looked at the park laid bare before them, stained with egg white and shattered eggshell, they were strewn about the park like the Viscera of a hundred maimed soldiers, Celestia, still high on adrenaline, let loose a scream towards the heavens in commemoration of her triumph. "Sister, are you okay?" Luna asked in a concerned tone worried that the stress of this ordeal had gotten to her. Celestia then took several deep breaths and then quickly perked up “No, No Sister I’m fine now I just needed to vent my frustrations now let’s go check with Twilight.” As the students were wrapped in blankets by the remaining staff, Celestia walked up to the robed Twilight and asked her about her state “Twilight are you okay, how do you feel after being changed back?”

"You hatched me..." Twilight said with a depressed tone. “Cadence, that was most unexpected” Spike especially was surprised by this announcement. "Whoa, a little ungrateful much." and the adults and other teens were just as shocked as they were collectively at pause until Celestia opened up with "Twilight what do-"

Just then with an expression that contained elements of Rage, Sadness and Hopelessness, Twilight leaped onto Celestia and too Spike and the adults' horror throttled her all the while she yelled out why she is so furious and heartbroken. "YOU HATCHED ME YOU CRONE!!! YOU GAVE ME BACK THE BAGGAGE OF THOUGHT, OF WORRY, OF MATURITY!!!! I WAS A BABY AGAIN BEFORE YOU CAME ALONG WITH THAT "CURE!!" The other students then stepped up and also voiced their rage and discontent for their principals ruining that blissful haze of childishness they were under that thin foggy state between sentience and object-hood where their only thoughts where those of carefree frolicking and their sole emotion limitless joy. "PARTY POOPER!!!" said Pinkie Pie, "UNCOUTH BARBARIAN!!" clamored Rarity, 'JERK OF A PRINCIPAL!" "MONDO UNCOOL!" "NOT GREAT AND POWERFUL AT ALL HAG!!” "BEAST!!" "SHE-VARMINT!!" "meanie..." said Sunset, Rainbow, Trixie, Starlight, Applejack and Fluttershy in united contempt. Soon, pretty much every student in the school began to voice their own discontent and the adults looked more than a little weirded out by this didn’t they want to be saved. Just then, Swift Sweep wakes up from his slumber groaning from the throbbing pain he feels, but before he can question why his head hurts so much, he wakes up to the sight of the restored students grouped up in an angry mob. “Uh, Ms. Luna? Is it alright if I…” Luna replied “Yes, you can go. You did enough for one day.” and with that approval, the young janitor bolted out of the park to take a much-deserved rest.

Two hours would pass and as if a reflection of the soured mood of the day, the sky began to grow dark and gray. The teachers were at a loss to this unexpected change in behavior while the teens all huddled together and still sulked over on one side of the park’s food court. On the other hand, Celestia and her party were still baffled and a little hurt over the students. Shining especially was wound up by this turn of events. “I don’t believe this,” Shining said, confused by the debacle. “Why would my sweet sister like being that… that thing!?! She could have been gone forever!!!!” Celestia was also stumped by this, and she was also a little depressed. After all, not only had Twilight chewed her out pretty savagely, but It also gave the white-skinned principal the impression that all of her labor was essentially for nothing and that stung a lot. “I don’t know myself.” She said morosely “But, hopefully Ms. Blush and Ms. Montage are back with news about their mood.” and sure enough, they came back, and they had some news to share “Okay, Celestia. We have good news and bad news.” The meek gardener Said, “What's the good news?” replied Celestia, “The good news is that Twilight and the others are willing to talk to you and explain themselves.” “And the bad news?” Said Celestia, her chest sinking as she said those words. “You have to apologize for hatching all of them.” Celestia rolled her eyes at this. Of course, this wasn’t going to be easy, but she didn’t realize they would be this bitter, but there was no other way, so she needed to comply with their demands. But after this, words will be said.

“And though the situation was life threatening I am sorry for Hatching without your consent.” said Celestia as she was done with that frankly long winded and slightly tedious apology. “That was pretty good.” said Twilight “But we still didn’t like being hatched.” She replied. Celestia felt like she was on the verge of exploding right now, but she knew that wasn’t the best option for something this delicate. So, she took a breath, with her right hand clenched into a fist and vibrating and began to ask a simple question. “Why on earth would you enjoy being mindless eggs?” and then The Mane 8 all chimed in, eager to answer.

“Because it was fun,” said Pinkie, “everything just seems brighter and happier when you're an egg.” “Sure, you don’t think of anything,” said Rainbow “But you're just filled with this bottomless Happiness that fills every fiber of your being.” Rarity then came next “On one hand: yes, losing yourself and what makes you beautiful is horrible, but I would trade my love of all that is elegant for eternal happiness any time it came up.” “...and it makes you feel like a little kid again,” said Starlight. “Mainly in the sense that everything seems more wonderful and eye popping than it was as a human.” “And it’s kind of relaxing,” Applejack said, “For once I can be happy without the weight of doing mah chores weighing on mah head and it felt great.” “And all you can think about is just being with your friends and enjoying life.” said Fluttershy with subdued enthusiasm. “And all the negatives of life just don’t matter to you anymore as well as the grind of the human routine.” said Sunset making her final point leaving Twilight to Chime in. “So, you see Celestia? We liked being happy eggs?”

Celestia thought about it, and she did agree with them on some level the experience of their explanation does sound appealing. She also didn’t think that was worth being non-sentient or worse effectively dead for the rest of her life, so she decided to voice her opinions on the matter “Girls, everyone thank you for bringing your opinions on the matter, but I must disagree with that outlook on life.” she said, causing the girls’ faces to soften to a more neutral expression. “It’s true that joy is the pursuit of everyone but joy for joy’s sake is fundamentally unfulfilling in the long run and besides people change grow and mature, that is simply a part of life, retreating into Childhood forever is essentially giving up on life and being a human, I can understand why you grew to love your transformations but staying as them forever could have been harmful in the long run, So I hope you understand.” The students all paused for a moment to let Celestia’ speech sink before Twilight spoke up though not without some obvious reluctance “Yes, Celestia. I do.” she said, reaching out to Celestia’s hand. showing there are no hard feelings between them. “Thank you, Twilight, NOW LET THE EASTER FESTIVITIES RESUME!!!” And so, after helping clean up the park, everyone at CHS resumed the Easter celebration along with Celestia and her cohorts (It took a while to explain why the Dazzlings helped out but once she did Sunset promised to find a way to restore their magic one day.) It was an amazing day riding the rides enjoying some quality candy. It was great, though Twilight was a little uneasy though it was overshadowed by the springtime joy.

Soon Twilight and Spike returned home to her parents after a long and crazy day “Hello Sweetie.” Said Twilight Velvet. “Principal Celestia and your brother told us all about the weird magical shenanigans you went on today, it seemed like a wild time How was your day?” “It was great!!” Twilight replied, “Except for the part I got turned into a walking egg along with my friends, but it turned out okay.” Velvet nodded on, pleased that her daughter had a happy Easter, and thus the rest of the day unfolded as normal and then Twilight and Spike went to bed. “Man, that was crazy,” said Spike “I wouldn’t think Cinch of all people could do something like this.” Twilight was just as surprised and gave a reply that summed up her thoughts on the matter. “I know right?! I mean I knew she was bitter at me for leaving Crystal Prep. but not in that way. I heard she's gone back to the hospital. I hope she learns her lesson and becomes a better person.”

“Sure,” Spike said sarcastically “when pigs fly and vats talk, anyway, ‘Night, Twilight.” “Night, Spike.” Twilight says back as the dog slinks into his doggy bed and Twilight begins to do the same, but she does not go to sleep right away. As she laid in bed, Twilight came to realize a crucial fact, namely she hated being human. Oh, sure. After she settled down, she did genuinely mean that being human is better than being an egg... in some areas. But, that simple childlike bliss, where she had no knowledge of the wider world, being in the euphoric haze of innocence, it made her long for that simple mindless existence. but it has its cons though and being a human also has its cons. so she thought to herself "Why can't we just have the best of both worlds." The bespectacled girl said as she lulled herself to sleep.

But what she did not know was that magical being not born of Equestria, but Earth would reveal itself soon and it was listening in on the bespectacled girl's plight. "Oooh, interesting. Talking and walking eggs that could make for a fun and INCREDIBLE EASTER!!!! I must get started right away!!" and so, the figure leapt off to recover the ingredients for their own Ovification spell, a new and improved one, a spell that will change the destiny of Twilight Sparkle, her friends, peers, mentor and even her community for the rest of their lives.

The End?

Alternate Ending: Moving On...?

The next day following the Easter incident, school went on as normal but there was something different about this day. At noon in the cafeteria, there was an undeniable malaise in the air as if something in the students' hearts had died or yolks, in this case. For they had begun to yearn for the innocent pure unfiltered bliss of eggdom that was still fresh in their minds. Sure, they had no sentience and were in a manner of speaking dead, but the students didn't care they missed that simple and pure joy it was like being a little kid all over again, only it was multiplied by a hundred-fold without any of the baggage that can sometimes bring.

Principal Celestia was looking on and she felt a sinking feeling about this. "Luna?" she said. "I think the students are still hung up about being eggs. Personally, I'm baffled as to why they find the idea of becoming brainless objects so appealing."

Luna then chimed in with her own theory as to why they haven't fully gotten over being human again. "Celestia, do you have times when you long back to your Halcyon days as a little girl, to retreat into childhood nostalgia and not have to worry about being an adult for a while?" Celestia replied earnestly "Of course. Growing up does suck some joy out of the world. You start to realize the world is not like in the cartoons you watched. You become aware of war and politics, the environment dying. Sometimes, you just want to forget that and enjoy yourself."

"Indeed" said Luna. "And I believe that is the reason for the children's despondency. what they went through was essentially that times a hundred-fold overwhelming bliss, innocence and wonder with only the tiniest smidgen of ego in their minds to process this is that not an appealing idea to abandon this dark and oppressive world and escape into permanent infancy?" Celestia thought about it for a moment but then replied with an answer of her own " I guess you're right that is appealing but I don't think that is a way to live. I imagine the students will look back on it fondly but not before they realize that becoming an adult outliving the things you love and doing things you hate is just a part of life and hopefully, they will become stronger for it." Luna agreed but her own gut had a similar sensation and feared the worst. "I hope you are right, dear sister..."

The Mane Nine all languished at the cafeteria, still grappling with their brief but enjoyable time as brainless chicken eggs with legs, Twilight was the first to open the conversation. "You girls miss being eggs too?" the girls all sighed as one, feeling the same ennui that Twilight did.

"Yeah," Pinkie Pie was first. "I know Celestia was right, but I hate it when she's right sometimes!!! I wasn't myself sure It was scary at first losing my memories, yeah, but I liked being an egg!" Rarity then chimed in with her own story. "Oh, yes Pinkie. I agree sure I wasn't myself at all in fact I was not me at all, in a manner of speaking but I so miss being the sweet idiotic mindlessness of being a silly Indigo Egg only caring about fun and my friends everything else being secondary."

Next was Applejack: “Darn straight. I do love the farm, my family and our apples and the thought of my forgetting them was a nightmare, but being an egg was so fun. I Just wish it had the fun kiddy factor without the baggage of being dumber than a sack of moldy steaks rotting in the summer heat.”

Then came Rainbow "Yeah, but I guess the reason we had so much more fun than normal was because we didn't have the baggage of other things like going to school or homework or a job. Fun was the only goal and that is great!!! But being a human does have its perks." Fluttershy then sighed and added her own tangent "If only that transformation was the best of both things everything that made us what we were preserved in our egg forms but filtered through that childlike lens of our egg forms. We wouldn't have to worry about thing we hate and focus more on what we enjoy." Next was Sunset "and your shell could never break, you never needed to eat, because of your yolk, you could be immortal and live forever.

Then Starlight: ...and you were essentially a Kkd forever, but I would prefer if that form had the perks of being a kid and a grown up together instead of cons."

"Trixie agrees, but that's a lot like us teens. Teens are just kids slowly becoming adults and that doesn't last forever." Trixie said.

Everyone sighed again until Sunset got an idea. "Well, I know I'm not supposed to do this but..." she then pulled out a single piece of brown straw, torn up and fizzling with a visible aura of magic and glittering magic "It's from one of the cursed easter baskets I was hoping to send it to Princess Twilight so she could study it to find out how precisely Cinch cursed us, but I think we could use it to become eggs again for one day."

The others bolted up in shock, they have missed the blissful ignorance of egghood but they would never become mindless forever. "SUNSET ARE YOU CRAZY!!!" screamed Rainbow Dash. "What if we lose ourselves forever?!?" Applejack then stepped in. "Rainbow is right. We might lose ourselves forever!" Sunset then retorted with a counter argument of her own. "Yeah, I get that, but it won't be exactly that spell."

It was at that point Sunset explained her plan to the girls "I was thinking that me and Twilight here could modify it to keep our minds mostly intact with some kiddy traits of course and maybe some conveniences like telekinesis ala a unicorn etc. It could work.” Twilight was surprised by this, and she meekly replied "Re-really? Why me though?"

"Because," Sunset said. "You're the only one who has a grasp of equestrian magic as well as me and with your science and my magic know how it will be fine, and it would be for like a day or two on the weekends that would keep everyone happy." Twilight after pondering it made a most mischievous grin and asked the others for their opinion. "Well girls what do you say to that?" She said, and in an instant the other girls all made the same cocky scheming grin Twilight made signaling their approval and thus the work began.

*2 Weeks later*

It was the middle of a warm April afternoon at the Sparkle household but then all of a sudden, the booming metallic ring of the doorbell pierced through the living room. Night Light immediately stood from his chair and put down his book and went up to the front door opening to reveal Sunset Shimmer and his daughter's friends.

“Hello there Mr. Light,” Said Sunset “I think Twilight arranged a meeting for us today?” Night Light Scratched his chin, pondering what Sunset meant by this until a little lightbulb went off in his head. “Oh, right the experiment,” he responded. “I got that from Twilight, come right in, I've got some snacks prepared. Are you girls going to need them?”

Pinkie Pie then stepped up to answer that question. “No thank you, Mr. Light. We’re not hungry right now or ever will be for the res-” But before the pink party lover could finish her sentence, Rainbow Dash hastily covered her mouth while Fluttershy finished her sentence for her. “We won’t need them while we’re here.” she meekly said.

Though confused by the display, Night Light still chose not to pry into his daughter's friends and simply continued talking. “Well if you insist, as you know the labs in the basement. Have fun down there!!” As the girls made their way down towards the laboratory, but before Sunset and company even reached the last step the door swung open to reveal a panting and sweating Twilight Sparkle and an anxious spike tailing behind her. “OH, YES. HELLO EVERYONE. GLAD YOU CAN MAKE IT!!! COME IN COME IN!!” Twilight said, followed by a burst of nervous laughter.

Spike then began to tug at Twilight’s lab coat clearly, he had more than a few reservations with this scheme. “Twilight, does it have to be today?” He asked with worry in his little puppy face, because he knew in his heart that something could go horribly wrong. “Spike, I told you don’t worry; everything will be fine.” Said Twilight with a hint of frustration but undeterred she led her friends into her laboratory to reveal a large very comical looking ray gun pointing at a red target. “BEHOLD MY THE LATESTS IN A LINE OF DEVICES THAT SYNTHESIZE AND MAGIC AND SCIENCE AS ONE!!!

“I call it…” Twilight then pointed to Spike and then with a sigh he began to press play on a nearby boombox causing a drum roll sound to go off as Twilight began to proclaim the name of this Invention “THE BIRTH REVERSER 12000!!!”

The rest of the girls clapped at the announcement, Pinkie as usual more than the rest then Rarity spoke up “This is all well and good darling, but does it work? Can it really turn us into eggs?” Twilight was very keen to answer that particular question with an explanation “Certainly, Rarity. Thanks to my study of the Ovification dust with Sunset’s help of course, this device will allow us to transform into the same walking eggs we were on that faithful easter.”

Then Rainbow Dash raised her hand as well, hoping to get her concerns out of her chest as well. “Yeah, yeah that’s great and all Twilight, but will we become dumber than mold again.”

Twilight then adjusted her glasses and said her piece, beaming with pride all the while. “Oh, ho ho, don’t worry your athletic head off, Rainbow. Thanks to Sunset, I’ve managed to circumvent that problem and more, would you like to explain?” Twilight then bowed towards Sunset and slightly flustered stepped forward to elaborate on what Twilight said. “What she means is I modified the spell to have minimal personality alteration effects, meaning we'll become a little childish once the spell is cast, additionally I also gave it the ability to let us talk without telepathy so we can speak to other people while in this state and finally, I added a telekinesis spell into the equation just like a unicorn so we can interact with stuff as if we still had arms.”

The girls seemed pleased by this as Applejack egged Twilight on. “Well, what you waiting for, Sugarcube? Fire that doggy up!!” “Oh, with pleasure!!” said Twilight with a slightly crazed face, but before she could activate the machines Spike then began to tug at twilight’s lab coat as he voiced his concerns to Twilight about the whole thing.

"Hey, Twilight, you know you don't have to do this, right? Like you can just move on from the whole thing and go on as if this never happened."

"Oh, Spike. I appreciate your concerns, but this only going to be for a day or two, so don't worry a thing about it" The switch was flipped, the machine whirred to life, and then a Bolt of lavender colored eldritch lightning struck Twilight and then there was nothing but mist and as the main eight and Spike opened their eyes a familiar silhouette appeared and then gleeful snickering follow with a familiar voice asking a simple question "So, how do I look?"

*5 Months Later*
It was the first week of a new year of school and consequently a new year of paperwork, but there was a bright side to this as far as Celesita was concerned. It was a Friday after this she could go home, rest up and get some much-needed R&R, but then came the knocking a lot of knocking. It was frequent and with it came various cries of Hello, Hello in there and woo hoo's, which meant it could only be one thing: Twilight and her friends. Something had happened to them during summer break, though she couldn't put her finger on what exactly. They became oddly peppy, frivolous and annoying, very annoying, like that one five-year-old in the back of the grocery line tugging at your clothes and asking questions over and over annoying. In just this week alone, those 8 girls have been the source of a string of very unusual behavior that is causing her school to become a bit of a laughingstock.

Whether it was Rainbow Dash throwing a very public temper tantrum during soccer practice over not being the main striker and getting less points or Rarity slacking off during art class to make a popsicle castle something very abnormal for the fashionista. So, Celestia decided now was the time to intervene and find out what exactly was Twilight’s Malfunction. Celestia opened the door up and all of a sudden, the Mane Nine bolted in as if they had drunk an ocean of pure coffee and all of them stood very close to Celestia, way too close to her. “Did you call us, Miss Celestia?” Said Twilight beaming with innocence and energy. “Yes, I did,” Celestia replied “If you would please seat yourselves and back away from my desk I would wish to discuss the changes in your behavior.” As she explained herself the nine girls quickly backed away and sat down on the carpet cross-legged like obedient kindergarteners, an unexpected display but not that surprising as she continued on without pause. “I will be bringing in my sister to talk with you shortly so prepare yourselves.” She said as Twilight and co. nodded eagerly it was then that Celestia knew this was going to be a long day.

After Luna arrived Celestia wasted no time in discussing why she brought them here “So I’m sure you all know what I mean about your changes?” She asked immediately Fluttershy raised her hand and waved it around wildly before Celestia sighed and asked “Yes, Fluttershy?” To which the Yellow girl replied with a question of her own. “That fact that we act like little kids again?” “Precisely,” said Luna, bringing up stacks of documents detailing their recent outbursts and otherwise unusual behavior. “Rainbow Dash. On Thursday, you threw a temper tantrum during a practice match as a result of one of your teammates scoring more goals than you, Is this true?” Rainbow’s checks puffed up after hearing that “I DIDN’T TO A STINKY TANTRUM! SHE JUST CHEATED BECAUSE I’M THE BEST! ME, ME, MEEEE!!!” Rainbow whined, proving Luna’s point.

“Applejack of all people starting a food fight, Fluttershy interrupting class by making animal noises, Rarity’s popsicle castle, and Twilight’s shenanigans and...” Celestia, clearly getting frustrated, signaled for Luna to stop as she decided to get to the point of the matter “Look, Twilight. You and your friends were once so well behaved and now you're all acting like spoiled toddlers, I just want to know what on earth happened to you all?”

Just then Twilight and her friends got up and started grinning with the biggest, widest smiles Celestia had ever seen and it was then that Celestia knew something Really bad was happening “Well, Celly-Welly. If you really want to know... GIRLS GET READY!!!” just then, Sunset Shimmer brought out a strange toy ray gun and set it on the floor next to twilight. After that they turned to the strange toy-like watches on their wrist and pressed buttons on them causing their bodies to be engulfed by a blinding Rainbow-colored light.

As the rainbow light faded and Celestia's vision returned to normal she focused on the girls only to see something she hoped to forget. Her pupils shrank to pinpoints, her jaw dropped and hung down like a swaying pendulum as a mix of shock, horror and confusion filled her essence for Twilight and her friends were once more giant eggs with human legs, the same as they were on that faithful easter day.

"Taaa-Daaa!!!!" The Purple Twilight egg said as even though she now lacked a face she was clearly beaming with enthusiasm from her voice alone. "You like how we look, Principal Celly-Welly?'' As Celestia's mind began to finally grasp that she was not seeing some kind of hallucination, she would begin to ask in an almost desperate and horrified tone. "Oh, my goodness... Twilight have you done to yourself and your friends?"

The eggs then snickered in unison as one by one they spoke. "Isn't it obvious, Mrs. Celly? We became eggs again!!!" said Pinkie Pie. “BUT WHY!?!? TWILIGHT WHY?!?!?” Celestia screamed out through her lungs as the other seven eggs responded in turn. First was Applejack “Welp, Celestia. As you know, we were still bummed out about being humans.” then Sunset “So, I came along with a piece of easter baskets and the curse dust on it. After that, Rainbow “So, Twilight and Sunset made this cool machine that could turn us into walking eggs, but with stuff like Telekinesis, being able to talk and us never going mindless again.” Next, Rarity “At first it was for one day, but it felt so good to be an egg again, it felt horrible returning to humanity again.” Then Fluttershy “so we did that for another day, and then another day, and then a whole week, and then a month until we decided to simply stay as eggs forever.” then Starlight. “Naturally, we couldn’t just go in public like that, so Twilight invented special watches that allow us to appear human, it worked for a while, but our parents caught on to our new kiddy behavior as a side effect of our forms.” And finally, Trixie. “Our parents didn’t like that one bit and it looked like they were going to ground us, so we decided that then was the time to show them how good being an egg was and we turned them and anyone very close to us into a walking egg as well.”

Those words hit Celestia like a Sledgehammer. To think that her beloved students were willing to rob their own flesh and blood of their humanity so eagerly. "Everyone?” Celestia said with horror in her voice again.” Everyone in your family, even your own brother?"

"Yeppies, all of our relatives and friends are happy silly eggs like us now." Twilight chirped. Celestia’s eyes had now almost turned completely white from the sheer shock and horror of all this. That someone like Twilight would willingly turn herself into a walking, talking puerile mockery of what she stood for, it was devastating but unfortunately for Celestia she was not done. Suddenly Twilight began to speak up in a sing-song fashion, “If you want to know how it feels yourself, I can always help out.” Just then, she picked up the toy like ray gun from the floor and aimed it at Celestia the normally composed principal began to sweat bullets. “This is the Birth Reverter 13000, a portable version of the machine I made,” said Twilight. “It was what I used to make my parents along with Shiny-whiny and Cadence all nice and eggy like us and now you’ll join us too!!” Just a glimmering blue and purple ray of light emerged forth from the toy gun and shot toward Celestia but before she could react something very familiar happened.

"Sister, WAIT!!!!" Luna jumped in front of the blast but in an instant, she was hit and in a poof of dust was transformed into a Pitch-Black egg with dark blue legs and as she fell, she began to roll and wail on the floor as if she was suffering from colic.

"Ah, much better." Said Rarity "Calcium Carbonate is a much more attractive skin than the flesh kind." When Celestia came too and finished processing what she just beheld she immediately rushed to her crying egg sister seeking to help her “LUNA!!! LUNA!!! ARE YOU OKAY?! SAY SOMETHING?!?!” Luna then spoke up and her words were very indicative of her new mentality. “I- sniff I WANNA A TEDDY!!!” Luna resumed crying causing Celestia to fall to her knees in sheer despair stunned at the event. Pinkie Pie noticed this change in behavior and was concerned “Hey. Twi-Twi/ Celly looks sad. Maybe she gotta boo boo?” she asked like a curious 5-year-old.

Then Rainbow came up with an explanation of her own “She doesn’t have a boo-boo, Pinkie. She’s just said she we need to make her an Eggy like Luna to cheer her up” Rainbow Dash said eagerly, after which the other girls except Twilight began to dance among themselves eagerly chanting “EGG HER!! EGG HER!!! EGG HER!!! EGG HER!!” to Twilight. Clearly, they wanted a new playmate. “Okay then everyone!! It’s time to welcome a new friend!!”

Twilight fired again only this time Luna was not there to intercept, but Celestia had a strong will, and she was able to fight back against the transformation for the most part and utter a single desperate request for her student and her friends. "Twilight, please stop this madness! this is not you! Please resist!!!" But Celestia's plea's fell on deaf ears or pores in this case.

The sentient Egg still fired her ray gun and the principal and replied to her earnest appeal to reason with a simple statement that was surprisingly mature for her current behavior "Your right, Celestia. This isn't me... the old stinky human me. This does seem scary, but don't worry. Once the changes are finished and your mind adjusts, you'll love being an egg too!!!

Celestia tried to work up a rebuttal but before she could finish speaking her form ballooned into an ovular shape, and her mind began to regress. "Twilight, please? I'm I'm.... I’m SO Boooooorrreeed!!!" Celestia's mind had fully become that of a child and with a flash, her transformation was complete now. All that remained was a white egg with legs that paralleled Luna's form as a black egg. "We're so bored having to do all this stupid Writey stuff with words we can't understand!!!" Luna then chimed in as well "Yeah. Celly and the other teachers were being big meanie shells with how they made us do this stupid Boorakracy stuff. We just wanna have fun!!" "WE WANNA HAS FUN WITH YOU, TWITWI!!!" cried Celestia out of her shell's vocalization pores as the eggs began crying, sweating out salty tears from their numerous tiny eyes.

The Mane Nine observed the situation as Rarity replied "Ahh, classic first transformation. They turn into children mentally but enough time they get most of their old maturity back... for the most part." Applejack moaned and preformed her approximation of rolling her eyes in her new shape. "Tell me about its Apple Bloom was easy since she was already a kid, but Big Mac and Granny. Hoo nelly, that was tough. Can you imagine babysitting two walking eggs the size of grown adults." Rainbow Dash retorted in a fittingly immature and eggy manner "EGGGH, No, I hate babysitting! I think it's cooler to just play and goof off and do cool stuff. Grown up stuff is stupid."

Applejack then retorts "Well I've always been a bit of a grown up. I like goofing off like the rest of ya, but unlike y'all, I've got responsibilities." Rainbow had a retort of her own "Uh, yeah. When you were Human, but you aren't a human AJ. YYou're an egg now, so act like one?!?!" "Yeah, act like your species killjoy," said Pinkie. The Green egg that was Starlight Glimmer reprimanded her "Don't say that Pinkie we're still mature enough where it counts. And besides if everyone was a toddler all the time society would just fall apart, it's just I also like to play with dollies and run around more than most teens." Twilight then stepped in to corroborate Starlight’s claim “I agree with her. Take Rarity's new fashion ideas, they tend to lean on the babyish she still loves more adult fashion. And I am still me and I am still mature where it counts.” Sunset then stepped up to bring order to the group “Alright, everyone, calm down. Remember Celestia and Luna have just transformed so we need to give them time to adjust to their new personalities' mindsets.” But then Fluttershy stepped in with a suggestion of her own “Or we could help them find something to play with to calm them down.”

She was right the two of them seemed mighty bored and eggs hate boredom so the nine of them felt it was right to give them some fun, so Twilight walked up to them and decided to ask them what to do “Alright, Celestia. What do wanna do for playtime?” She asked to which the sniveling egg principal said, “I dunno…” but then Twilight brought up some ideas for them “Well there’s all this paper just lying around, and you know what you can do with it?” Luna then stood up and eagerly said “Make Paper Airplanes?!” Twilight did think that was fun but not what she had in mind. “No,” She said, “Think harder Lulu, it involves paper but it’s also from Japan.” Both of the Principals thought hard and long about this, their simple egg brains pushed to the limit until finally they came up with an answer. “ORIGAMI!!” they both screamed out with enthusiasm. “That’s right,” Twilight responded, “Okay, girls. Let’s help our principal’s make some origami.”

And thus, the main nine went about making some Origami for the Principals to enjoy and play with, granted it was difficult since they lacked true fingers because of their telekinesis but perseverance prevailed, and the toys were ready. “GRAAAH!!! I’M DAH EVIL MONSTER CRUMPLO-ZAURUS! FEAR MY PAPER TOWN FOR I WILL RUIN YOUR CREASES!!!” said Celestia, playing with a crude origami monster around a paper city made up of various tax and approval forms.

“STOP,” said the stern voice of Luna moving an origami super robot up to confront her sisters paper monstrosity. “ORIGAMIGER V WILL HANDLE THIS MONSTER NO PAPER SHALL BE TORN ON MY WATCH!!!” The sisters then began to make their papery creations clash with each other making exploding noises in between their laughter, sure it was paperwork that was important for the school but in their current state of mind they couldn’t care less about paperwork.

The other Nine eggs watched this, and Rainbow, Pinkie and Applejack rushed up to try and join them only for Twilight to tug at Rainbow’s leg causing her to stop. “Rainbow, no. This isn’t the time to play.” She said, “BUT IT LOOKS SO FUN I WANNA!!!” Rainbow Dash whined. “YEAH, WE WANNA PLAY WITH CELESTIA, LULU AND THE FOLDY PAPER!!.” said an equally whiney Applejack. “I know you three want to play but this is business, and we must take business over pleasure. said Sunset. “But don’t worry, you two. we won’t have to do much business for long. So, let’s move out!!” Twilight said with authority. As the two egg-ified principals kept on playing with their little origami city, Twilight Sparkle the Purple Egg and the Egg nine marched out confidently with their loved ones and personal close friends all successfully ovified. All they needed to do next was transform their fellow students and the remaining faculty the former would be very receptive to this change. After that, they would begin stage 2 of their plan to go out into the world and ovify every man, woman and child of all ages so they can experience the unrivaled, incomprehensible bliss of being a sentient talking, walking, telekinetic, immortal egg that keeps just enough maturity to function whilst having the best aspects of being a kid. Once the students were ready, they would make this year the last year humans attended Canterlot High. In fact, this would be the last year of the human race.
