Of Mare and Moon (16)
[In Ponyville…]
“So what is so important that you had to drag me out of my vacation, Twilight? This is sure to mess up my mane,” said (Rarity).
“We have a bit of a weight problem,” said Twilight.
“What in Equestria have you all been eating?” asked (Rarity).
“Nothing out of the ordinary that we eat,” said Applejack.
“How could you all eat nothing out of the ordinary and still end up looking like fat slobs?” questioned (Rarity).
“We believe Nightmare Moon’s new device is responsible, dahling,” said Rainbow Dash.
“Rainbow Dash? I thought you went back to flight school to perfect your latest maneuver the supersonic rainboom?” asked (Rarity).
“Whatever that is it sounds lovely dear,” replied Rainbow Dash.
“How could you forget unless…..Twilight what’s going on here?” (Rarity) demanded to know.
“Well you see this is a different Rainbow Dash, from the other side of Ponyville and I guess they came here to see what our side was like,” explained Twilight.
“Uh is this a bad time for me to point out that there are also two Bon Bons?” asked Bon Bon.
“How could that be bad? No offense to her or you but she looks nothing like you so we don’t really need to set any guidelines for telling you two apart,” replied Twilight.
“That’s true. Glad there won’t be any confusion,” said Bon Bon.
“Rarity, do you think your magic is strong enough to help return our weights back to normal?” asked Bright Eyes.
“Well I can try but why can’t you do it, Twilight?” asked (Rarity).
“My magic doesn’t work but any attempt I try to do makes it worse,” explained Twilight.
“If it’s the weight that must fall, I might have a recipe for you all,” said Zecora.
“That’d be wonderful, dahling,” remarked Rainbow Dash.
“It was your ingredients that worked last time so maybe it’d work again,” said Twilight.
“Even so, you all can barely move with all that extra fat so how are you going to get to Zecora’s place?” questioned (Rarity).
“We can use the carriage from the Grand Galloping Gala celebration,” suggested Twilight.
“Just who are you going to get to pull it? You ponies appear to weigh about 10 pounds more than normal,” protested (Rarity).
“That’s an addition of 150 pounds total and that is probably not good for any one single pony to pull at once,” calculated Bright Eyes.
“Well it can’t be one of us, we’ll use up the energy just by movin’ our hooves,” said Applejack.
“Can’t the rest of the ponies here help and if so how many would we need?” asked (Rarity).
“Now there’s a mighty fine idea, Rarity,” said Applejack. [A little later…]
“Everypony is ready to go, Rarity,” said Twilight.
“Alright you ponies, kindly get us to Zecora’s place in the Everfree Forest,” said Applejack. *The ponies slowly move forward but the carriage doesn’t budge when all of the ponies are moving*
“Why aren’t we moving?” asked Twilight.
“They just need a little magic, Twilight..*She uses her horn to create magic on the carriage, which slowly begins to move* That ought to do it,” replied (Rarity).
“Thanks a bunch, Rarity,” said Melody waving.
“My pleasure,” called (Rarity).
“Alright, we’ll be at Zecora’s place in no time,” said Applejack. [An hour later…]
“Well that certainly wasn’t no time at all,” said Starlight.
“Yeah, more like an hour,” added Melody.
“Well the only thing that matters is we’re here,” said Twilight.
“Come in my pony friends. I’m about ready to make you all normal again,” greeted Zecora from inside. *The ponies slowly walk out and into Zecora’s house*
“What are ya makin’ anyway, Zecora?” asked Applejack.
“I can’t tell you, you’ll have to wait. It will be the best you ever ate,” replied Zecora.
“I hope so because otherwise, Nightmare Moon will put Ponyville in danger!” thought Twilight.
