Not Seperated at Birth (featuring the Rainbooms, Spike and the CMCs)

It was a normal day here in Canterlot City and our heroes are having a video chat with Applejack and Apple Bloom.

“Okay, y’all. We’re making a new wardrobe for Rarity. Check it out!” Applejack explained until she moves her camera to her work, only to find that it's barely done.

Everyone has reacted to her handiwork with an "meh" and stuff like that.

“It’s kind alright.” Sunset said.
“Looks… good.” Sci-Twi said.
“Impressive?” Rainbow said.
“Great!” Pinkie said.
“Well, it’s alright.” Fluttershy said.
“Meh…” Scoots said.
“It’s kind of alright…” Spike said.

“Well, I’m doing the best I can, sugarcubes. I think I need help after all.” Applejack blushed.

“How about this, let’s go to Dragon Land and we can ask them how they can help with your dilemma.” Sunset suggested.

“Yee-haw! Let’s go!” agreed Applejack.

“Yeah!” Everyone else shouted in agreement.

Moments later, everyone opens their closets, puts their dragon badges on and holds their dragon scales. “I wish, I wish, with all my heart, to fly with dragons, in a land apart.” They all said in unison as the dragons on their walls fly off and swirl around them all and off they went!

In the School in the Sky, Quetzal, Ord and Cassie were getting ready to start building the new playground here.

“Mira, niños. Inside is your new playground.” Quetzal said as he opened the lid to reveal unassembled parts.

“Is that it?” Ord asked.

“We have to build it, Ord.” Cassie clarified.

“Oh. Heh-heh-heh.” Ord replied, laughing nervously.

Suddenly, the Rainbooms, Spike and the CMCs start to re-materialized sitting on a giant box.

“Surprise!” Pinkie exclaimed, throwing confetti out her hair the second she appeared with the others.

“We're ready to build!” Sunset spoke, showing that she and the others are here to help indeed.

“Hi!” Cassie said.

“Hola!” Quetzal greeted.

“Quetzal, can we start now? Can we? Because I brought my special hammer.” Apple Bloom asked as she bought out her hammer to show it.

"Not so fast, niños. Aren't we missing someone?" Quetzal said. Everyone realized that Zak and Wheezie were late.

"I'll get them." Pinkie said as she ran up to a knuckerhole and called down "Zak! Wheezie!" she cried. Just like that, Zak and Wheezie pop out and land in a tree; they hang upside down from a branch by their tail.

"What's up?" Zak and Wheezie said in unison

"You!" Everyone replied, laughing.

We're here! We're ready! And we're never gonna get down unless you go this way, Zaky! Wheezie said. Unfortunately, Zak and Wheezie share the same body, so they can't agree on what they want to do.

"No! You go THIS way! Zak said." They stretch their necks separate ways until they fall off the tree and hit the ground. Zak was feeling dizzy from that fall. Of course, Wheezie just doesn't mind the impact and walks it off.

"On your feet, Zaky! We can't build a new playground just sitting around!" Wheezie commanded as she scoots to the right.

"Take it easy, Wheezie. I already bonked my head three whole times because you were in a hurry!" Zak said, worried that he might get hurt again.

"You wouldn't have bonked your head if you weren't walking so slowly! My leg fell asleep waiting for your leg to catch up!" Wheezie argued.

Quetzal clears his throat and says, "the plan today, niños, is to work together to build a xylophone slide and three drum trampolines." Quetzal explained. "So, who wants to work on what?" He questioned.

“I’ll be the leader of the construction. I’ll tell everyone how they can build everything right and give them some tips.” Rainbow Dash exclaimed as Quetzal agreed.

"I'll work on the Trampolines! Wait until you see this cool trick I made up in gymnastics: the Pinkie Bottoms-Up Bounce!" Pinkie said.

"I'm with Pinkie on this one!" Scootaloo replied.

"I'll help, too." Cassie comments.

"We'll help as well." Sci-Twi, Fluttershy and Spike say in unison.

"Sign me up for the xylophone slide!" Wheezie said.

"I can help with that." Ord exclaimed.

"We'll help you with that, darling." Rarity replied, with Applejack, Sunset Shimmer, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle.

However, Zak wants to work on the drum trampolines, but Wheezie wants to work on the xylophone slide. They share the same body, so it's really hard for them to work on two things all at once.

"But Wheezie, I wanna work on the drum trampolines!" Zak said, angrily.

"But the slide will be way more fun!" Wheezie argued.

"No fair! I always have to do what you wanna do!" Zak argued.

"Do not!" Wheezie argued.

"Do too! I wish for once I wasn't stuck together with you, Wheezie!" Zak complained.

"Really?! Well, I DOUBLE wish it!" Wheezie agreed.

"Well, then, I double, DOUBLE wish it!" Zak agreed further as everyone gasped.

“Uh-oh, you guys gotta calm down. There’s an old thing saying, “Be careful what you wish for, otherwise, YOU might GET IT!” Spike said.

Luckily, Quetzal was there to break up the argument before things got ugly.

"My, my, niños. You really wish to be separated from each other?" asked Quetzal.

"YES." Zak and Wheezie said in unison.

Then, so be it. Here, take these crystals. Now fly into the air and say: "Alakazoo, split in two." Rub the crystals together, and your wish will come true." Quetzal instructed, giving them special crystals that may make their wish come true.

"Come on, Zak, let's get flapping!" Wheezie said, excited that she's getting her own separate body.

"Well, I'm not holding us up." agreed Zak, still feeling annoyed as they flew in the air.

"Alakazoo, split in two!" they recite in unison.

Then, they rub the crystals together; there is a blinding flash of light as the others gasp. They float down as the light clears to reveal Zak and Wheezie now with their own separate bodies.

“Loooooove it!” Wheezie exclaimed in excitement, loving her new form indeed.

“Two feet? Two claws? Two wings? Too good to be true!” laughed Zak.

“Woah!” The CMCs exclaimed in unison.

“Did it hurt?” Fluttershy asked in concern.

“No, it didn't.” Zak replied, still feeling better with his new form.

“How does it feel, darlings?” Rarity asked.

“Great! Now I can do anything I want! Watch!” Wheezie replied as she did somersaults in the air.

“Well, look at this... A handstand, all by myself!” Zak brags as Wheezie does some loops in the air and divebombs down.

“Careful, Wheezie!” warned Zak, trying to make sure his sister doesn’t get hurt. She does some more tricks in the sky; suddenly, she crashes into a tree, and everyone gasps. She falls to the ground.

“Oh, my. Are ya okay, sugarcube?” Applejack asked, concerned.

“Okay?! I'm better than okay!” Wheezie replied.

“Thank goodness. I'll never have to fly too fast again.” Zak stated as he flies at his own slow pace.

“Ho hum.” Wheezie said, yawning because her brother was being a show-off.

Minutes later, it’s time to go to work. Wheezie is on Team Xylophone Slide and Zak is on Team Drum Trampoline.

“How are we gonna make all that stuff into a slide?” Scootaloo asked in confusion.

“We’ll just have to work hard.”

“Remember, I’ll be on the sidelines, taking notes on your performances and I’ll give you support when you need it. Got it?” Rainbow Dash instructed.

“Got it!” Everyone agreed in unison as Rainbow steps aside.

It took Team Xylophone Slide a while. Eventually, they’re done. Unfortunately, it’s constructed very poorly.

“Is it supposed to look like that?” Ord asked, confused by the slide’s appearance.

“I don’t think so.” Sunset replied.

“Of course it is! Wild and Fun!” Wheezie replied, clueless at the fact the slide wasn’t supposed to look like what it is now. Applejack begs to differ.

“I think we need assistance from Rainbow.” Applejack exclaimed as she took out her whistle and blew it. Rainbow Dash heard it, and she came to their area instantly. She inspects the slide and notices something was wrong.

“Uh, I think you built the slide the wrong way, Wheezie. No dragon is gonna slide on that.” Rainbow exclaimed, going over her inspection.

“Oh, don't worry. This is gonna be super-duper! What’s the big deal?” Wheezie replied as she leaned against the slide. Suddenly, it falls apart. It leaves Applejack, Rarity, Sunset Shimmer, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Ord groaning in disappointment. Wheezie looks at the plans and realizes her mistake.

“Oopsie.” Wheezie exclaimed, sheepishly.

“Well, you need to follow the plans carefully. That way, you’ll get everything done.” Rainbow Dash explained, giving the blueprint to Wheezie.

“Ah, who needs those boring things?” Wheezie exclaimed, throwing the blueprint aside.

“We do!” said Rainbow Dash Applejack, Rarity, Sunset Shimmer, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Ord in unison, each annoyed.

“Okay, okay! Following the directions is Zak's job, but I can do it too! Thanks for the help, Rainbow.” Wheezie exclaims.

“No problem. If you need me, I’ll be here in the flash!” Rainbow Dash said as she runs off-site and sits on the sidelines.

Meanwhile, Zak is working on the trampolines as Fluttershy tightens the bolts with Zak, Sci-Twi hammers down the support beams, Spike pulls the ropes and Pinkie Pie and Cassie pull & adjust the elastic bed.

“A little more... Not too tight... Not too loose…” Zak instructed Pinkie Pie and Cassie to adjust the elastic bedding to the way he wants it, however he couldn’t make up his mind.

“Zak!!!!” Pinkie and Cassie exclaimed in annoyance

“Sorry. Usually, Wheezie tells me when we're done.” Zak spoke, sheepishly as he finished tightening the bolts. “There. Three perfect drum trampolines.”

“Yippee! Now I can show you my famous bottoms-up bounce!” Pinkie exclaimed in excitement as she tried to bounce, but she fell on her back as the elastic wasn’t adjusted all the way.

“That's your big bounce?” Cassie asked, confused by Pinkie’s jump.

“Oh, no! That’s not bouncy enough. Zak, the trampoline is saggy!” Pinkie complained.

“I know. This way we can jump nice and slow.” Zak answered, obviously liking the calmness of the atmosphere around him.

“Slow?! But we need bouncy! You can't do good flips and knee drops unless it's bouncy!” Fluttershy complained before Cassie steps in to try her turn on the trampoline but falls as well.

“It's-- It's--” Cassie exclaimed, feeling dazed from her fall.

“BORING!” Pinkie and Cassie said in unison.

“I guess Rainbow would've known how to make it fun. I think we need Rainbow’s help.” Sci-Twi spoke as she blew her whistle. Instantly, Rainbow Dash comes into the site.

“What seems to be the trouble?” Rainbow asked.

“Our trampolines seem to be too light. It’s not letting us bounce. What are we supposed to do?” Scootaloo complained.

Rainbow inspects the trampolines and notices something was wrong. “I see what’s wrong. You just need to tighten the ropes an extra squeeze, so they'll be extra bouncy.” Rainbow explained as she tightened the ropes. Zak tests the trampoline, and he bounced higher now.

“Thanks, Zak. I knew you'd know what to do. That's bouncy, all right.”

“That’s more like it!” Pinkie exclaimed as bounces and flips flawlessly.

“Wow!” Cassie said, impressed. She decided to try to bounce and flip. She landed flawlessly too, laughing! Almost instantly, Ord and his group finally got done with their project. The xylophone slide is ready and constructed perfectly! Wheezie starts sliding down it, laughing through the ride. She landed hard on the ground, though.

“Oh, my! Wheezie, are you okay?” Fluttershy asked, concerned.

“It was fun! ...Except for the landing.” Wheezie answered, sounding okay.

“So now we have a great slide.” Apple Bloom exclaimed.

“With a really bad landing. What are we going to do?” Rarity asked.

“Have a snack?” Ord suggested as he pulled a sandwich out his pouch. Everyone starts looking at him with unconvincing looks on their faces. “What?” Ord asked. Eventually, Sci-Twi gets an idea.

“Why don't we put the slide and the trampoline…?” Sci-Twi asked.

“Together?” Wheezie continued.

“Okie, dokie, loki!” Pinkie and Zak answered in unison. They move the trampolines in front of the slide.

“Is this the right spot, Zaky?” Wheezie asked, adjusting the last trampoline in line. Zak is instructed to tell her when she gets it in the right, precise spot.

“A little over.... Just right!” Zak confirms.

Wheezie slides down first and bounces across the trampolines, coming in for a perfect landing.

“Looooooove it! Zaky, you're up!” Wheezie replied.

“All by myself? Only me? Nobody else? Will you come with me, Wheezie?” Zak asked.

“Sure.” Wheezie replied as they got to the top of the slide together.

“Ready, Freddy?” Zak asked.

“Okey-dokey, artichoke-y!” Wheezie answered as they both slid and bounced, laughing and shouting happily.

“That was fun!” Zak exclaimed as the others cheered on them for their perfect landing. Just then, Quetzal comes back and goes over their work.

“Fantástico! You did a great job putting everything together. Is it fun?” Quetzal asked, proud of the girls and dragons’ handiwork.

“It's fun-tastic! But I have an idea that will make it even better.” Wheezie replied before she started whispering her idea in Zak’s ear.

“Great idea, Wheezie.” Zak replied.

“What idea? Ah, don’t understand.” Applejack and Apple Bloom asked in unison as Zak and Wheezie whispered their idea to Quetzal.

“Quetzal, can we?” Zak begged.

“Pretty please, with a fireball on top?” Wheezie begged further.

“Tell me. I wanna know!” Scootaloo complains.

“What’s going on?” Rainbow Dash comes in, confused as to what is going on.

“I think it's a wonderful idea.” Quetzal replies as he brings the crystals out and gives them to Zak and Wheezie.

“What is?” Sweetie Belle asked, even more confused while Zak and Wheezie take the crystals.

“Fly into the air and say: "Alakazoo, stick like glue." Then rub the crystals together.” Quetzal explained.

“Come on, Wheezie!” Zak commanded as he held hands with his sister and flew up.

“Alakazoo, stick like glue!” they recite in unison.

Then, they rub the crystals together; a blinding flash of light as it comes down. It clears, revealing Zak and Wheezie have returned to their original two-headed self.

“Ha-ha, yeah! / We did it!” Zak and Wheezie exclaimed as they high five and flew around happily. They have turned themselves back to their original normal selves.

“Now ah get it!” Applejack exclaimed, finally understanding.

“They're our Zak and Wheezie again!” Pinkie Pie said, happily.

“It’s so good to have them together again.” Spike spoke in relief.

“It sure is, Spike. It sure is!” Sunset replied in agreement.

“I wish, I wish, to use this rhyme, to go back home, until next time.” the Rainbooms, Spike and the CMCs said in unison as they went back home.

Over at Applejack’s home, she and Apple Bloom went back to their dragon-ified rooms. “Hey, little sugarcube. Ya know what? How about you help me finish building Rarity’s wardrobe. I know by following directions, we’ll get it done in no time!” Applejack offered with her little sister agreeing with the offer and beginning to help out. Just like that, Applejack’s dragon badge starts glowing. She finally realized that with a little help and instructions, she’ll get things done faster.

“Of course, sugarcube!” Apple Bloom replied as she grabbed a few tools with her dragon badge glowing as well.

Hours later, Applejack and her sister started a video chat with the others.

“I believe that I have a big surprise for you Rarity!” Applejack spoke from her room.

“Ooh, do tell darling!” Rarity asked before Applejack turned her camera to the fully constructed wardrobe. Everyone was really happy about what they were seeing. Rarity especially loves it 100%!

“Oh, I love it so much! Thank you, Applejack!” Rarity exclaimed in glee and excitement.

“Ah, shucks! What are friends for?” Applejack replied.

“Don’t forget about me!” Apple Bloom steps in as everyone laughs in happiness and glee before the video chat ends.
