A/N: Yeah that song is stuck in my head, too. Onward!
Bridle Gossip: Deleted Scene 2: Twilight and Sunrise's REAL and...Oddly Familiar Looking Nightmare From A Winnie the Pooh Movie!
(Oh, great! I just spoiled everything with the title! But then, I almost always do anyway, so, what's it matter?)
*Ponyville library on a peaceful evening. Wait, what am I saying? All of Ponyville has been peaceful ALL DAY what with everypony locking themselves in their homes because they're all terrified of Zecora! What do you expect? Still, now that it's bedtime, everypony seems to have calmed down and have gone to bed as they normally would. Including Twilight Sparkle herself. She's just finished brushing her teeth in her bathroom and is now just about to hop right into her bed and drift off to dreamland when the door knocks.*
Twilight Sparkle: (groans) Oh, great. Who could possibly be knocking on my door at THIS time of the night? (Walks down the stairs as the knocking continues) Yes, yes. I'm coming. I'm coming. Just wait a little longer, please? (Opens the door) Hello? Anyone...(gasps) Sunrise?
*Nope. Twilight's tired eyes are definitely NOT tricking her despite how late in the nighttime it is. Poor Sunrise Blossom is standing right outside her sister's library looking very distressed and shaking in fright as if she saw a ghost. And also, another reason she's shaking is because it's freezing cold outside.*
Sunrise Blossom: (shaking) H-h-hey, T-t-t-t-twilight! H-h-h-h-how are y-y-y-you this f-f-fine evening?
Twilight Sparkle: Sunrise, I was literally about to jump into my bed and off to sleep. What are you DOING here at a time like THIS?! Seriously, don't you know how late it is? (Lets her sister in and closes the door)
Sunrise Blossom: Well, see, it's about earlier with the other ponies shortly after we went off to rescue Apple Bloom from Zecora.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh no. Don't tell me YOU'RE slowly starting to believe everything everypony's been saying about Zecora being evil too. Especially after the conversation we had about how unkind it is to be racist to other creatures before Apple Bloom snook out. I thought you were also the only sane pony around here today too.
Sunrise Blossom: I am! Honest! Or...I probably would still be if it hadn't had been for...(gulps)...A-a-Applejack!
Twilight Sparkle: (confused) What ABOUT Applejack?
Sunrise Blossom: Well, I don't know what it is, sister, but somehow, after hearing her just say darkly to us that "some pony tales really ARE true", it's been sending me shivers down my spine to no end! Applejack NEVER speaks like THAT! Just the way she said that makes it almost sound like she and the others were right about Zecora all along!
Twilight Sparkle: Oh, come on, Sunny. I'll admit Applejack's words kinda did...spook me out...just a little bit too. But really, what proof is there that everything everyone's been saying about Zecora is true? None!
Sunrise Blossom: W-w-what about the digging at the ground?
Twilight Sparkle: (groans) Remind me to give Applejack a stern talking to for brainwashing you into believing everything that's been said about Zecora simply by just giving us that warning. Come on, sister. We've been through all of this already.
Sunrise Blossom: And what about Pinkie's song about her? Oh, that's one thing I haven't been able to stop thinking about for the rest of the day either!
Twilight Sparkle: (rolls her eyes) I can imagine. It's been in MY head all day too. But it's gonna take a lot more than THAT and Applejack's stern warnings to suddenly start slowly making ME believe all that "Evil Enchantress" stuff after that conversation in Sugarcube Corner we went through earlier today. And...(suddenly hears music) what the-? What's that music?
Pinkie Pie: (bouncing outside Twilight's library singing to the tune of Toto's Africa) Gonna take a lot to make me start believing in you! There's nothing that a hundred stripy zebras could ever do! And now, for some reason, I now feel like going to Africa! Gonna take some time to do the things that Sunrise did with Timon and Pumbaa that I never got the chance to do! Ooh, ooh!
(Yep. Toto's Africa. Don't ask me why. All I know is I've somehow been wanting to find a way to sneak that song into a deleted scene after hearing Brian Hull's Lion King parody of that song for the first time last year. That's how catchy it was. Don't believe me? Take a listen for yourself! It's on Youtube!)
Twilight Sparkle: (opens her window) Pinkie Pie?!
Pinkie Pie: Oh, hiya, Twilight! Didn't see ya there? Whatcha been up to this evening?
Twilight Sparkle: Wanting to go to bed. Pinkie, what in the wide, wide world of Equestria are you even DOING out here at THIS time of night?
Pinkie Pie: Well, it's kind of a funny story really. Basically, I've been singing that song about Zecora all day that it's been stuck in my head all evening and I've been having some trouble sleeping. At first, I thought of trying to count sheep, but then, I realised there were no sheep in my bedroom to count. So then, I thought I'd try PRETENDING to be asleep by doing some fake snoring because I thought to myself, "maybe after a while of doing that, I'll probably get SO tired of doing it that I really WILL be asleep". But apparently, that didn't seem to work. It just woke Mr. and Mrs. Cake up. And they didn't really seem to pleased about it because apparently, my FAKE snoring was even louder than my REAL snoring. So then...(gets off topic)
Twilight Sparkle: (muttering to herself) "Trouble sleeping" she says! I'm having about ENOUGH trouble as it is just trying to get to my own BED with all these interruptions!
Pinkie Pie: (gets back on topic) So, I decided to take a nighttime stroll all over Ponyville and was trying to think of some new songs to sing to get that "Evil Enchantress" song out of my head when I suddenly felt the urge to sing one of those weird 80s songs by Toto. Don't really know why other than the possibility that I could be a little bit jealous of Sunrise actually spending some time with Timon and Pumbaa when I wasn't. And that's pretty strange since I was never jealous about it before.
Sunrise Blossom: (peeps her head out of the window) Being honest, Pinkie, I'm kind of wishing I was there with them right now.
Pinkie Pie: Oh, hey there, Sunrise! I didn't know you were here too! Are you having trouble sleeping because you had my song stuck in your head too?
Sunrise Blossom: Um...y-y-yeah. T-t-that's ONE way of putting it.
Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie Pie, not to sound rude or anything, but your song along with what everypony's been saying about Zecora being evil has somehow started making my sister slowly start to believe you and worry herself up to the point where she can't even sleep!
Pinkie Pie: (gasps) Oh no! Really? (starts to feel bad) Oh, I'm so sorry, Sunrise! I didn't think THAT would happen! Tell you what, maybe you should spend the night here with Twilight if it'll make you feel any better than you do now.
Twilight Sparkle: What?
Sunrise Blossom: Actually, to tell you the truth, Pinkie, that's pretty much why I came by here so late anyway.
Twilight Sparkle: WHAT?! Sunrise, are you serious? You want to spend the night with ME?!
Sunrise Blossom: Yes, please. Somehow, being with you tonight will probably make me feel much more calmer and safer about things.
Twilight Sparkle: But Sunrise, we're not fillies anymore. We're grown mares. We're all old enough to sleep in our own beds in our own homes now. At least I think that's what our mom would say if she was here with is right now.
Sunrise Blossom: (begins pouting) Awww! But Twilight...
Pinkie Pie: That's not true. Applejack still sleeps in her family's home and she's just as old as you are. You don't see anyone complaining about that, do you?
Sunrise Blossom: (freaks out) APPLEJACK?! (Jumps onto Twilight) WHERE?!
Twilight Sparkle: (struggles to breathe) Let...go...of...me...please!
Sunrise Blossom: (realises) Oh. Sorry. (Lets go)
Pinkie Pie: And what about Fluttershy? I hear she lets a few of her animals friends spent every night with her inside her cottage.
Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie, I didn't mean what I said when I said that to my sist...
Pinkie Pie: And then, of course, there's me sharing Sugarcube Corner with Mr. and Mrs. Cake.
Twilight Sparkle: Alright, Pinkie. We get it. You've made your point.
Pinkie Pie: And then, there's you and Spike living together. So, if you're fine with all of that, how come you're rejecting the idea of Sunrise spending tonight with you?
Twilight Sparkle: PINKIE PIE!
Pinkie Pie: (flinches) EEP!
Vinyl Scratch: (calling from the house across the street) WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP?! PONIES ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!
Twilight Sparkle: (nervous laugh) Sorry over there! (Turns to Pinkie) Sorry for yelling at you like that, Pinkie. (Turns to her sister) And Sunrise, I was only just teasing you a moment ago. Of course you can spend the night here with me tonight. Even if you're slowly starting to turn into our other friends.
Sunrise Blossom: Hey! Applejack started it first!
Twilight Sparkle: I know, I know. I'll be sure to give her a good talking to first thing tomorrow morning.
Pinkie Pie: Ooh! Ooh! Sweet Apple Acres isn't too far away from here! How about I bounce on over there and give her a good talking to for you?
Twilight Sparkle: Uh...gee, I don't know, Pinkie. Wouldn't Applejack be sleeping right now unlike the three of us?
Sunrise Blossom: Twilight, just let her. After all, knowing what you're like in the mornings, you'd probably forget to do it anyway.
Twilight Sparkle: Hey!
Sunrise Blossom: Only teasing you, sister! (Yawns) Now, come on. Let's get to bed. I'm start to feel a little better here already. (Makes her way to the bedroom) Last one who hops into bed makes a pancake breakfast for the first one in the morning.
Twilight Sparkle: Sunrise, wait! Oh, it's fillyhood all over again. Goodnight, Pinkie. (Closes the window)
Pinkie Pie: Nighty night, Twilight! (Hops on over to Sweet Apple Acres still singing that Africa song)
*As Sunrise predicted, Twilight was indeed the last one to hop straight into her bed. Now, she has to make her sister a big pancake breakfast in the morning whether she wants to or not. But anyway, she settles down right next to Sunrise and pulls the covers over the both of them and with a click of the lights, all is now dark. Just right for a perfectly normal bedtime.*
Twilight Sparkle: (turns to Sunrise) Good night, Sunrise. Sweet dreams. (Immediately receives a warm embrace) OOF!
Sunrise Blossom: (snuggling up to Twilight like a teddy bear) Same to you, sister. (Yawns) Nighty night. (Almost immediately falls asleep on her sister snoring peacefully)
Twilight Sparkle: (chuckles) Oh, Sunrise. (Returns the hug) Nighty night to you too. (Closes her eyes and drops off as well)
*And with that, both sisters fall fast asleep and begin to dream.*
*Well, by the looks of things here, this dream doesn't seem to be starting off as sweet as our two friends had hoped it would be. What's happening in it right now? Well, it would appear that the two sleeping sisters are seen just...floating all across what looks like a weird yet gloomy looking dimension with dark blue clouds, mist and...you know what? I've already spoiled what nightmare this is going to be loosely based off already with the title. Yes, it's the same gloomy looking place Pooh was at in his nightmare. Happy now?*
A Sinister Sounding Voice That Sounds Like A Creepier Version Of Applejack: (echoing as the sisters continue to float) Just you wait, Twilight. You're gonna learn one way or another soon enough that some pony tales really ARE true.
*Oddly enough, the sound of Applejack's creepy warning echoing all over the place DOESN'T wake the still sleeping ponies up. But once they finally stop floating and touchdown gently on the ground, a pink "hunny" pot with a familiar poofy pink mane and tail on it suddenly appears right out of the blue singing an all too familair and annoyingly catchy song waking them both up almost instantly.*
The Pinkie Pie "Hunny" Pot: She's an Evil Enchantress! She does evil dances! (Disappears into nothingness)
Sunrise Blossom: (wakes up) GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! (Jumps onto Twilight again waking her up in the process)
Twilight Sparkle: HUH?! WHAT THE-?!
Sunrise Blossom: (still clutching onto Twilight for dear life) WHO'S THERE?!
Twilight Sparkle: (has breathing difficulties again) Sunrise...PLEASE...get...OFF...of...me! (Uses her magic to put her back down) NUH!
Sunrise Blossom: (lands on her behind) Oof! (Blushes) Uh...sorry about that, Twilight...again.
Twilight Sparkle: (taking in her surroundings) What IS this place?
Sunrise Blossom: (takes a wild guess) Kansas?
Twilight Sparkle: Hmm. I don't think so, sister. But wherever we are, we'd better be careful. You never know what might happen to any one of us in a place as gloomy as...
The Pinkie Pie "Hunny" Pot: (appearing right in front of them again) And if you look deep in her eyes...
Twilight Sparkle: (freaks out) GAH! (Jumps onto Sunrise) WHAT IS THAT THING?!
The Pinkie Pie "Hunny" Pot: ...she'll put you in trances! (Disappears quite suddenly again)
Twilight Sparkle: (still holding onto her sister for dear life) P-p-p-Pinkie Pie?! I-i-i-i-is that you?
Sunrise Blossom: (now her turn to have breathing problems) Uh...T-t-t-Twilight?!
Twilight Sparkle: Huh? (Realises she's just done what Sunrise did to her) Oh! (Gets back down onto the ground) Heh. Sorry.
Sunrise Blossom: Don't worry about it.
Zecora's Voice: (echoing all over the place like Applejack's was) BEWARE! BEWARE!
Twilight Sparkle: (begins hugging her sister and shaking) O-o-okay! I don't k-know about you, but this is starting to get a little bit terrifying now!
Sunrise Blossom: (also hugging and shaking Twilight) Y-y-y-yeah! Not only that, but I swear all this seems a little bit familiar to me somehow!
Twilight Sparkle: Why? Have you had a nightmare like this before?
Sunrise Blossom: No. But I think I can remember the two of us watching someone in a film having one like this before back when we were young.
*And then, as if things weren't creepy enough already, three more "hunny" pots made to look like Rarity, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash appear right in front of them!*
The Rainbow Dash "Hunny" Pot: Yeah, was that supposed to SCARE us?!
The Rarity "Hunny" Pot: Wicked, WICKED zebra!
The Fluttershy "Hunny" Pot: Nopony knows that much about her. It's a curse.
Twilight and Sunrise: (jump in fright) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! (Both run away)
Twilight Sparkle: (panting) Why do all our friends look like talking honey pots? And...why is "honey" spelt WRONG on them?!
Sunrise Blossom: (also panting) Oh yeah! Definitely, DEFINITELY all too familiar to me now!
The Pinkie Pie "Hunny" Pot: (reappears in front of them again) Then what will she do?! (Disappears again)
Twilight Sparkle: Uh...Sunrise? If you're brain can still remember far back to our fillyhood, then...would you mind telling me who's dream this was originally?
The Pinkie Pie "Hunny" Pot: (reappears on Twilight's back) Then she'll gobble you up in a big tasty stew!
Twilight Sparkle: AGH! GET OFF OF ME! (Zaps her away)
Sunrise Blossom: (still panting) I...think...it was...(suddenly screeches to a halt) DEAR MOTHER OF CELESTIA! WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!
Twilight Sparkle: (confused) What?!
Sunrise Blossom: (points to where she's looking) LOOK!
*Oh yeah. DEFINITELY not a pretty sight to look at here. Because what both Twilight and Sunrise are seeing right in front of them right before they're very eyes is a big, stripy, black and white heffalump made to look like Zecora walking right past them with the Pinkie Pie "Hunny" Pot riding on it's back.*
The Pinkie Pie "Hunny" Pot: (riding on the Zecora heffalump) Soooo... WATCH OUT!
Twilight and Sunrise: (scream like little fillies at the top of their lungs and then hug each other for dear life again)
Twilight Sparkle: WHAT IS THAT THING?!
Sunrise Blossom: IT'S A HEFFALUMP!
Twilight Sparkle: (confused) A WHAT?!
Sunrise Blossom: A heffalump. Or to be more specific here, A ZECORA HEFFALUMP! MAKE A RUN FOR IT, DEAR SISTER! (Runs away)
Twilight Sparkle: (runs away with her) Sunrise, wait!
*Sunrise Blossom runs with Twilight Sparkle right behind her, and they both are screaming and glancing behind them so much that they fell to see the cliff until-*
Sunrise and Twilight: Wah!
*Twilight Sparkle and Sunrise Blossom hugs as they fall through the air and land with a SPLAT! into a - honey pot?*
Twilight Sparkle: Why are we in a honey pot?
Sunrise Blossom: (shrugs) I have no idea. At least we're- (she looks up) Oh no!
Twilight Sparkle: What is it, Sunny?
Sunrise Blossom: (panics and points upward) Look!
*The twins stare up in horror, for the honey pot is attach to a bright pink Heffalump hot air balloon!*
Pink Heffalump Balloon That Looks Like Pinkie Pie: Going up?
Twilight Sparkle: (begins getting nervous) Who? Us? Oh no! No, no, no, no, no! Not today! Thank you! We're not really a fan of balloon rides! (Does a nervous laugh) In fact, we were just leaving! (Attempts to climb out) Come on, sister! Let's get out of here before...
*But it's too late! Before they have a chance to escape with their lives, the Pinkie Pie Heffalump Balloon takes off into the sky with the two sisers still onboard!*
Pink Heffalump Balloon That Looks Like Pinkie Pie: (as it takes off) WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Twilight and Sunrise: (flailing their hooves all over the place screaming like Bugs Bunny in a spaceship) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!
Pink Heffalump Balloon That Looks Like Pinkie Pie: (singing a song about balloons extremely offkey) Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh in a piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiink balloooooooooooooooooooooooooooon! Up above! Looking down on everyone! You can touch the mooooooooooooooooooooooon!
Twilight and Sunrise: (horrified) THE MOON?! OH NO!
Sunrise Blossom: What are we gonna do, Twilight? I don't wanna end up like poor Luna!
Twilight Sparkle: Don't panic, Sunrise! I'll just look down below for a safe place to teleport ourselves to before we go too high!
Sunrise Blossom: Good idea.
Twilight Sparkle: (takes a look down below) Okay then, where's the safest spot around here to take us both to? (Spots a marching band of Zecora Heffalumps and Zecora Woozles marching by) Oooooooooooooooooooooookay, definitely NOT down there! Uh...what about over there? (Sees three Zecora Woozle Jack-in-the-Boxes pop out at the exact same time) Nope! Definitely not a good place to teleport down to either!
Sunrise Blossom: What about down my side, Twilight? Is there a safe spot to teleport ourselves down there?
Twilight Sparkle: Let me take a look! (Looks down Sunrise's side and sees two Zecora Heffalumps in fancy dresses doing the waltz together on a honey ice-rink) WHAT IN THE-?! THEY'RE WALTZING DOWN THERE?! THAT'S JUST...CRAZY!
Sunrise Blossom: We're doomed no matter where we go to, aren't we?
Twilight Sparkle: (on the verge of cracking) You know what? Maybe being up here on this balloon taking us higher and higher isn't such a bad thing after all! (Lets out a crazy laugh) So long as nothing else happens though.
Pink Heffalump Balloon That Looks Like Pinkie Pie: (sees more Heffalump Balloons and stops) Ooh! Lookie here! It's all my other balloon friends! I wonder what's UP with them? (Laughs at her own joke) Hello there, friends!
All The Other Hot Air Balloons That Look Like Twilight's Friends: Hello, Pinkie Balloon!
Blue Heffalump Balloon That Looks Like Rainbow Dash: So, Pinkie Balloon, seeing who can go up into the sky the highest, eh? Ha! I bet I could beat you at that EASILY in 10 seconds flat!
Pink Heffalump Balloon That Looks Like Pinkie Pie: Aww, thank you, Rainbow Balloon! But I'm not really in the mood for any competitions right now! I just feel like floating all over the place just like all of you are doing right now!
Yellow Heffalump Balloon That Looks Like Fluttershy: Oh, that's good. I don't know about you, but I don't think I would EVER want to go up into the sky any further than I already am right now. I'm actually a little frightened of heights.
Blue Heffalump Balloon That Looks Like Rainbow Dash: But Flutterballoon, we're BALLOONS! We're MEANT to go up high!
Yellow Heffalump Balloon That Looks Like Fluttershy: Well, sorry to have to assert myself like this, Rainbow Balloon, but even us BALLOONS have standards.
Sunrise Blossom: (even more terrified than ever) Uh, Twilight? Which is more terrifying right now? All the Zecora monsters back down below, our friends as talking honey pots, or our friends as giant balloons?
Twilight Sparkle: Sister, what kind of question is that?
Sunrise Blossom: So...I take that as an "everything"? Because that's my answer too.
*Suddenly, as if right on cue, there's a flash of lightning and a ROAR of thunder scaring the two sisters even MORE! This pretty much indicates that the nightmare is almost over...despite how short it is compared to the original Heffalumps and Woozles nightmare scene.*
Orange Heffalump Balloon That Looks Like Applejack: Uh oh. Sounds like a storm is brewin' over here all of a sudden.
White Heffalump Balloon That Looks Like Rarity: (pouts) Awww! And here was me thinking that it was a LOVELY day for being up here! Now, we're gonna get all wet through!
Pink Heffalump Balloon That Looks Like Pinkie Pie: Meh. Rain doesn't really bother me that much. Though, I probably would prefer it if it was raining chocolate instead! Then I could drink it ALL up!
(Season 2 foreshadowing!)
White Heffalump Balloon That Looks Like Rarity: Yes. EXACTLY what I'd expect to hear from someballoon as unladylike as yourself.
Blue Heffalump Balloon That Looks Like Rainbow Dash: Oh, I don't know, Rariballoon. Chocolate rain kinda does sound pretty good enough to try right about now.
White Heffalump Balloon That Looks Like Rarity: Why? So you can have ANOTHER one of those RIDICULOUS eating contests with Pinkie Balloon here?
Blue Heffalump Balloon That Looks Like Rainbow Dash: HEY! YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW BEFORE I BEAT YOU UP REAL GOOD!
White Heffalump Balloon That Looks Like Rarity: With WHAT exactly? In case you failed to notice, darling, WE DON'T HAVE ANY HOOVES!
*As the rest of balloons continue to argue with each other, there's another flash of lightning and another ROAR of thunder as the wind suddenly starts to pick up and begins violently swaying the Pink Heffalump Balloon from side to side while Twilight and Sunrise just hug each other out of fear again.*
Twilight Sparkle: W-w-w-what's happening?!
Sunrise Blossom: I don't know! But I have a funny feeling I might know what's about to happen to us next!
*And just as Sunrise finishes saying that, the Pink Heffalump Balloon suddenly transforms itself into that red watering can with the sinister look on it's face and begins pouring rain on both sisters as they fall all the way back down to the ground below. However, where they land is probably even WORSE than where they were already as they end up landing in a giant cauldron that's being used to mix up an evil looking brew! But who is cooking this brew, I wonder? Shouldn't be too hard to guess. It's a GIANT Zecora! AND IT'S GOING TO GOBBLE THEM UP!*
Giant Zecora: Beware! BEWARE!
Twilight and Sunrise: (accept their fate and just scream) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
The Pinkie Pie "Hunny" Pot: (reappears as Zecora chows down) Soooo... WATCH OUT!
*Poor Twilight and Sunrise just tossing and turning in the bed together. It looks as if they're having a bad dream. Best not disturb them right now. Hey, let's go check in on Applejack at Sweet Apple Acres and see if Pinkie Pie's caught up to her yet.*
*As we cut to Sweet Apple Acres, we hear the sounds of a Timberwolf howling. Why? For dramatic effect, of course! You normally hear a werewolf howling in the background whenever there's a creepy nighttime scene in movies and stuff, don't you? Still, here's Pinkie Pie bouncing around outside the barn still humming that Africa song in her head and climbing up the building like Spider-Man until she reaches Applejack's bedroom window.*
Pinkie Pie: (peeps her head through the window) Hello? Applejack? Are you in here? You're not still sleeping, are you? Because I've kinda got something Twilight said she wanted to say to you about saying how "some pony tales really ARE true" in a creepy way REALLY frightened poor a Sunrise. (Climbs inside the room) Applejack? You there?
*Strangely enough, Applejack doesn't seem to be in her room anywhere. At first, Pinkie assumes that Applejack decided to sleep downstairs in the lounge and is about to go downstairs when she hears a very faint snore coming from underneath the covers. This confuses Pinkie for a minute as she didn't see Applejack in her bed.*
Pinkie Pie: That's odd. Applejack doesn't seem to be in the room yet I can the sounds of somepony snoring. Now, how is that possible? Unless...(gasps)...her bedroom has been CURSED by Zecora?! Oh, sweet Celestia! I've heard about her ability to curse ponies, but I didn't think she had the ability to do something like this too!
Applejack: (wakes up and is confuse of why it is pitch black and why she is not in her room) Huh? What-? Where am I?! (she stands and realizes that she is cover with blankets, and makes her way toward her pillow) Ok, I'm on my bed…I think. (She pokes her head out and gasps at the sight of the giant pillow) My pillow is huge!
Pinkie Pie: (hears a tiny scared voice and turns to see the small Applejack next to the pillow) Wah! AJ, you're small!
Applejack: (screams) AAAAHHHH! A giant Pinkie Pie!
Pinkie Pie: Applejack, I'm not giant! You SHRUNK!
Applejack: What? Ah shrunk?! (Takes another look around herself) Well, ah guess that explains why everything in here is so BIG! B-but how in the hay did something like THIS happen to me? It's almost as if somepony put some kind of weird curse on me!
Pinkie Pie: Applejack! I think you've just hit the nail on the head! Somepony DID just put a curse on you! (Gasps) On ALL of us!
Applejack: (also gasps in realization) Zecora! Oh, ah should've known! Ah just KNEW she was nothin' but trouble! Ah just KNEW it!
Pinkie Pie: (starting to panic) And now, I have this unluckiest feeling, AJ, that something really, REALLY bad is gonna happen to ME! (suddenly has her tongue all swollen up and covered in blue spots) OTHE NOTHE!
Applejack: (gasps) Oh mah gosh, Pinkie Pie! Your tounge! It's all swollen up and covered in spots! Are you okay, sugarcube? SPEAK to me! Say something! ANYTHING!
Pinkie Pie: (tries to speak around her swollen tongue) A PFRUSE!
Applejack: (confused) Uh...come again, darlin'?
Pinkie Pie: (still has trouble speaking properly) PEE-PAH ZECORA! STHE JUSTHE PUT A CURSTHE ON ME TOO NOWETH!
Applejack: (avoiding the spit as best as she can) You can say that again. And ah probably STILL won't understand it. But by the looks of it, ah'd say Zecora just now put a curse on you too!
Pinkie Pie: (still having speaking problems) THATHE'S WHATHE I'VE JUSTHE BEENTHE STHAYING!
Applejack: (hops onto Pinkie's back) No time for talking, Pinkie Pie! We've gotta go check on the rest of our friends and see if Zecora's put a curse on any of them yet! Giddy-up, pony!
Pinkie Pie: (confused...while still...you get the idea) Huh?
Applejack: YEEE-HAW! (Jabs her knee into her back)
Pinkie Pie: (jumps out of the window as if she was a real horse) YEOWTH! (Begins galloping all the way over to Rarity's boutique with tiny Applejack still on her)
Apple Bloom: (enters the bedroom) Applejack, are you in here? Ah can't get any sleep and ah was wonderin' if it would be alright if ah could sleep here with you like ah used to do when ah was a baby and kept having bad dreams? (Sees Applejack isn't there) Applejack? Where'd ya go, big sis? Hello?
A/N: This is a great way to wrap up the deleted scene, and for your dueling suggestion, let's have it occur during the second duel. Bye for now! R&R everyone!
