"I can't believe I'm doing this."
Bowtie stared down at the white coat she was wearing, and the glasses. And then at the wig and mask. She looked like a two legger. Like Megan, or even Molly! Or... she shuddered... Danny!
"I look like an ape. White is not my color."
Brain was thoroughly enjoying himself.
Call ME a rat, will she, he thought, well at least I don't have to pretend I'm a scientist.
He snickered.
"What are you snickering at?" Demanded Bowtie, suddenly looking menacing "You think this is funny? Are you thinking that I look funny?"
"You sound like Pesto."said Brain.
"Who's Pesto?" asked Bowtie.
"You don't wan't to know." he answered. Bowtie glared.
"Now," said Brain "You have been dusguised, but what to do next?"
"Who cares?" snarled Bowtie. "Why do I have to wear this stupid costume anyway?"
She had begun to look quite savage. She did not like having her face painted peach. Or anything else, for that matter.
"Because, obviously your friends are not going to just forget about you. They'll probably send out some sort of search party, but you don't know when that will be. We have to make sure that nobody sees you before then. It would ruin everything if you were taken to a zoo."
Bowtie sighed. "Explain the plan to me again, please?"
Brain sighed as well. But he obliged.
"My plan, is that once a search party arrives in this portal, we will capture them in this cage."
"Uhh...but they'll probably send out unicorns. So that they can get back through the portals once they're done searching. They'll just escape and turn you into a boot or something. You won't have time to cage them."
"That's what I've been trying to work out." said Brain irritably. "I've been working on this!"
He whipped out a small glass bottle filled with aqua liquid that bubbled and hissed.
"When I release this, it will turn into a gas that will shut the portal and get rid of any... abnormalties such as horns. Once my plan is complete, I will reverse the effect using the same gas, but mixed with a secret ingredient!"
"Which is...?" asked Bowtie.
"If I told you it wouldn't be a secret." Brain said.
Bowtie casually lifted up a large hoof, and swung it around a bit over his head.
Brain gulped. "Uhh...what I meant to say is...that it wouldn't be a secret if we told anyone else...eh heh heh..."
Bowtie glared. "Then tell me what it is!" she said.
"Cheez Whiz, okay?" said Brain.
"Fine. Then what?"
"Then, once they are safe and non-magical, They will be caged until I have explained my plan, and the conditions to get them back."
"What makes you think they'll agree?"
"Do you really think they'll want to stay here forever?" asked Brain, pointing outside to the smog clouds and bikers.
"Good point." agreed Bowtie. "Then if they agree, what will you do?"
"I'll set you all loose, and you can do what you want. You just have to act extremely cute. Once they begin begging you to stop, tell them my conditions. They must let me rule the city!"
"I thought you wanted to take over the entire world, not just the city."
"I do. But once the search party is missing, they'll probably send another search party out to search for the missing one. I'll then repeat the procces, slowly taking over as more ponies enter. Once I rule the world, I will bring you back to 'Ponyland', telling the people of the world that I will bring you back if they rebel."
Bowtie nodded. "You really planned this out, didn't you?" she asked.
"Yes." said Brain proudly. "With much calculating and planning, of course, I have come to the conclusion that this plan cannot fail as long as you ponies all agree to my conditions! And I am sure that none will wan't to stay here."
"Great." said Bowtie, "But, oh, no wait."
Brain groaned, feeling an odd sense of deja vu.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Well, how will you keep track of us all?"
Brain stopped. "Hmmm..." he said, "Well, I have a solution."
Five minutes later, he proudly displayed his solution.
"Pink...Bows..."
"They're bugged!" he said. "It will both keep track of you, and add to the effect of extreme cuteness which is crucial in my plan."
"But what about the male ponies? I don't think they'll go for pink. Dye a few of them blue."
Brain obliged, and turned some of them blue. Or tried to.
"Now they're purple." said Bowtie. "Eurg. Not even a nice one either. It's kind of muddy purple."
'They'll have to do." snapped Brain "Now we wait."
"I can't believe I'm doing this."
Bowtie stared down at the white coat she was wearing, and the glasses. And then at the wig and mask. She looked like a two legger. Like Megan, or even Molly! Or... she shuddered... Danny!
