The young scholar cracked her knuckles and grinned, casting her eyes in Applejacks direction.

"Ooh, one more! I can turn a woman into a man!"

This was it! The nail in the coffin for this silly little duel. Soon, everything will be back to normal and everyone will be fine again! So far everyone has been doing their part so splendidly, and the faux spells were working! Trixie was hooked! Now to get her to get the amulet off...

The farmer flinched on the spot as Twilight eyed her. It was all a ruse of course, but some part of the farmer couldn't help but to feel a tad worried that something could happen. She trusted Twilight's plan and knew her friends were all working hard to get everything back to normal, even her family had a hand in this! From the corner of her eye Applejack could see a very uncomfortable Big Mac waiting behind the fountain, blushing like crazy and ready to jump out there. Hopefully the wig wouldn't give out while he moved this time.

Twilight raised her hands above her head and summoned a magenta-hued energy into her fingertips, as well as around the green gem at her neck to produce the effect of making it seem like she was drawing her magic from it instead of herself!

With a look of determination, Twilight hurled her magic at a nervous Applejack. She blinked in surprise as she felt a small pressure exert itself through her arms and shoulders, feeling it come from her chest as she summoned more magic. The ray of magic hit the tanned blonde, making her yelp out in surprise as an electric sensation coursed through her body. It felt as if Rainbow Dash had struck her with a lightning bolt. Again. She wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but she knew that wasn't supposed to feel like that, remembering in Twilight's message that the magic she was going to use were "blanks", as she put it.

The huge puff of magical smoke rose with a POOF! and shrouded the farmer, keeping her entirely out of view. Big Mac tried to move under the swirling smoke, holding the wig atop his head, until a hand came from under the cloud telling him to stay put. That brief moment of confusion made everyone pull him back, for fear of being caught.

"What in tarnation is that girl thinkin'?!", Granny Smith grumbled worriedly.

Big Mac shrugged his shoulders in confusion, just as worried as everyone else.

The others watched as the cloud dispersed slowly, revealing not a young woman but a young man! Long blonde hair was bound at his back with that very same Stetson on his head, however his clothes were in shambles! The white tank that was worn before burst to shreds as his chest widened to a more barrel-chested status. The jeans tore in several places as the lower torso and legs branched out more widely with thicker, more pronounced muscle mass. Both Granny Smith and Rarity covered Applebloom and Sweetie Belle's eyes as they stared in astonishment, much to the little girl's annoyance as they tried to remove the hands over their eyes. Rainbow Dash's doppelganger eeped out and covered her eyes as they remained in the air, while an amused Rainbow tried to keep in her laughter.

In an attempt at modesty, Applejack quickly brought his arms up to hug himself and try to cover as much of himself as he could! The jeans would've fallen off if he didn't have a bigger body build, making the material unbearably tight in some areas. The button-fly opening flew right off as the zipper was forced down. Wide and frightened green eyes looked from their body to Twilight and Trixie.

Fighting the confusion, a blushing Applejack smiled sheepishly and muttered a low "Eyup!".

Twilight smiled confidently at seeing Trixie's disbelieving, slack-jawed stare. Something caught her attention just beyond where Applejack stood, and Twilight could see a confused Big Mac and Granny looking at her beyond the fountain. She squinted slightly and noticed something was off. That would have to wait though, right now she had to keep Trixie's attention on her and get her to unlatch the amulet. She shook away the concerned looks of her friends and resumed her air of superiority.

"Oh, my! There has been a mistake I fear, for this is not the right sphere!"

"What do you mean? Zecora, I thought this was a mere doorstop.", Twilight said as she held up the remains of the fake amulet in her hands.

"What I gave you to use was not a dud in the slight. For the gem we have used was a dormant Andradite!"

"Dormant?"

"Certain gemstones can hold certain strengths, while others hold little to no lengths. Many a spark of your magic, must've been what did the trick!"

"Trick? Another one? I thought we were only doing the ONE to get the amulet off that meanie Trixie!", Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

"No, Pinkie. I think what Zecora means is, It must've been my magic coursing through the gem several times that made its dormant powers come to life and in turn...doing...this."

They all moved their eyes to a very disgruntled Applejack as he sat on a stool, tightly wrapped in a sheet supplied by Rarity while Granny and Big Mac went to get a change of clothes for her. Him?

"Ah get that this was an accident, but would y'all mind NOT starin', please?!"

At that everyone in the room looked away immediately. Though some eyes did try to sneak little peaks when Applejack had his eyes turned away.

"Please tell me you can undo this, Zecora!"

"I will do what I can, this I can promise you. Return home for now, and do what you normally do. This will require time for sure, if we ever intend to find a cure!"

With that, everyone left Zecora's home and made their way back to Ponyville.
