Pinkie Pie and Spike were walking in a village. "Where are we?! Who am I?!" Pinkie giggled, bouncing around. Spike shrugged. He looked through the book. "Well that's unexpected…" He whispered.

"Oh! Oh! Am I the evil queen like I've always dreamed?" Spike looked at her in confusion. "What?! Can't a girl dream?" Pinkie whispered. "Look."

They looked at the page and saw a picture of Pinkie Pie dancing in a lake. Beside her was a double but with dark feathers on her dress, the bottom said, "Swan Lake". "Oh no! This story involves the mirror pool!" Pinkie Pie cried.
"No, it's not. Swan Lake was actually a ballet before, that's why I was surprised."

"Why? I'm really graceful you know!" They were silent for a moment. "Sure, Pinkie…"

The mare suddenly gasped. "Look! A bunny!" She yelled. The girl almost tripped over her ballet dress running after it. Spike scanned the book and gasped. 'Pinkie, no! You can't!" He chased after her.

"So, who are we looking for?" Alice asked, trotting after the girls. "Pinkie had feathers on her dress and knowing my dress symbolizing, it might be a story about a swan." Rarity said.

"Swan Lake!" Twilight gasped.

"That sounds very graceful…" Fluttershy whispered.

They nodded. "Let's see… Swan Lake started in a village, Alice, do you know a small, run down village near a magic lake… Perhaps?" Twilight asked.

"No, I don't know villages well… Oh! One of my best friends can probably figure it out!" Alice grinned.

"Pinkie! Wait!" Spike yelled. Pinkie chased after the bunny but bumped into somepony. She glanced up at Chrysalis. "Oh… Um hi… Chrysalis?!" The mare gasped. The pony helped her up. "What are you doing, you brat?!"
The changeling growled. "I-I'm sorry." Pinkie said, brushing the dirt of her dress. Spike ran into the forest and hid in a bush.

"Do you know who I am, child?!"

"Yeah! Chrysalis! Duh!" Pinkie giggled.

"Who? I am Odile and by looking at you… You're the annoying girl my changelings have been telling me about! The one destined to overthrow me and my throne of the forest." Odile growled.

Pinkie raised her eyebrows. "Wow, there's a lot more detail than I thought in this ballet."

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Anyway, you shall not take my throne, you little wretch!" Chrysalis growled. Pinkie gasped as the Queen's magic surrounded her.

When the smoke vanished, in the pony's place was a swan with pink feathers. The swan honked in surprise and Odile laughed. "My poor, little swan! Only way to break that spell is for your true love to proclaim his passion for you! But
then again, who would to a pathetic bird!" She snickered. She vanished. Spike popped out of the bush and ran to Pinkie. "Y-you're a swan!" The dragon gasped.

"Where's your friend, Sweetie- Alice? We've been walking for a while now." Rarity sighed.

The girls stopped when Alice ran up to a farm house. She knocked frantically. The door opened and a familiar yellow filly came out. She had twin braids tied with pink bows and a blue checkered dress on. "Applebloom!" Applejack creid,
running up to her and hugging her. The filly flinched. "Um… Hey? Mah' name's Dorothy, do Ah' know you?"

Applejack bit her lip. "A-ah guess not…"

"We need to help my friends find their friends. They come from a different world!" Alice giggled. Dorothy laughed.

"Trust me, Ah know places, I just went to a land called Oz! It was weird. But I'm ready to help!"

"Come on Pinkie!" They didn't tell how she got the power to turn back into a pony, but we can go find a lake!" Spike said, walking with the swan Pinkie.

That night, they found a lake and Pinkie floated in the water. She gave a honk at sudden voice. "Don't be afraid, sweet child. I will help you with your problem." Then a familiar alicorn appeared. "Princess Luna?!" Spike
gasped. The swan honked in surprise as well. "I will help you, little swan." Her horn lit up and it surrounded the bird. In it's place was Pinkie Pie.

"Aw man! Being a swan's pretty fun!" The mare sighed. Not to fear, for you anyway. My magic only works at night so when the sunrises, you will turn into a swan til night." Luna said.

"But we only have three days until my friends are trapped here forever!" Spike creid. Luna raised her eyebrows. "Oh? Um, alright. Well, good luck to you, my little swan." She vanished. Pinkie smiled. "What's next?"

"Next, a prince comes and finds you and you two fall in love! Oh, and you have to say your name's Odette."

"Sure!"

The girls walked into the village and looked around. "Where do you think Pinkie and Spike are?" Starlight asked.

"If this is Swan Lake, I'm guessing they're at, well, a lake. It's day time so Pinkie's probably-"

"A bird?!" Rainbow laugthed.

Twilight rolled her eyes. "Yes. The prince should be going hunting soon." She said, looking at a castle in the distance.

"Hunting?! How cruel!" Fluttershy gasped.

"If you're friend's a duck and he's hunting, tough business for her." Dorothy whispered.

Applejack gulped. "Yeah, ah' sure hope Pinkie's okay…" She sighed.

"I can fly, I can fly, I can fly!" Pinkie sang, of course, to Spike, it only sounded like honks. She fluttered and flew around when suddenly, an arrow hit the tree in front of her. Pinkie honked in surprise. Spike gasped. "Run!
Or, um, fly!" He yelled.

She did so, arrows still chasing her when she suddenly saw the moon rise. She flew to the ground just as she turned to her normal form. Pinkie was about to skip away when she felt somepony watching. She turned to a tree and saw a familiar pony
behind it. "Er… You! Wait! Wait, I got it… Cheese! My ol' buddy Cheese! How are you?! Throw any parties lately?" The stallion blinked and stepped out.

"What a duesy! Who's Cheese? And who are you? You were a beautiful swan one moment then a beautiful pony the next!" He gasped.

"I'm… Odette, what's your name… Here of course." Pinkie replied, stepping closer.

"I'm Prince Siegfried. It's great to meet you, miss Odette the swan/mare!"

"I'm happy too! But I have to say… the way to break this curse and for me to be a
pony forever, my true love must proclaim it to a audience… So, do you know any pony like that?" Pinkie asked, bouncing next to him.

"Yeah… Maybe…" Cheese whispered, leaning towards her. Pinkie blinked in suprise but leaned too. "Er… Um… I have a idea." Cheese whispered. The mare smiled. "What?"

"Well, it's going to be my birthday tomarow-"

"Yes! We need to plan the biggest, bestest party for you! And-"

"Being a prince, I already would have that kind, sorry. But it would be no fun without you, it's too fancy for me. I will announce my love for you there, but, do you love me back?" Cheese asked.

Pinkie blushed in surprise. "I… Yes, of course!" She giggled. They hugged and parted ways.

"Remember, tomorrow." Cheese winked.

"Wouldn't miss it for the world!" The mare laughed

"Wow…" Pinkie whispered as he left.

The others had devised a plan. They would sneak into the prince's ball and make sure Pinkie got in. In the original, the swan maiden died when the prince announced his love to a mare disguised as Odette.

"We can't go to a ball in these old rags!" Rarity huffed, looking at their offits. "We're going to have to, they go with our story." Twilight sighed. Rarity rolled her eyes. "Fine!" She sighed.

Pinkie was a swan, getting ready for the moon to rise, and was happy to be going to the prince's ball. Spike read through the book while she danced as gracefully as she could around him.

"There you are!" A familiar voice giggled.

Pinkie and Spike flipped their heads around. "Fluttershy? Girls!" Spike creid, running with Pinkie and embracing their friends. "Hurry! We can't be late for the ball!" Twilight creid. Rainbow, Applejack, and Dorothy gave
a groan. Ball's weren't really their things.

The group was about to leave when a laugh filled the clearing. "Not so fast, ladies." Odelie growled.

They gasped and turned to face her when thornes blocked their way.

"Chrysalis." Rainbow growled.

The alicorn groaned. "Why does every pony think that?! No! I'm somepony completely different! Listen, you ten are staying here and I'm having the prince, not miss annoying Odette!" She growled.

Pinkie honked in protest and Starlight covered her mouth and shook her head.

The Queen grinned slyly and there was a green flash. When it cleared, it seemed like it was Pinkie Pie, but all knew it wasn't true.

"You can't keep us here!" Alice cried.

"Hm, try to stop me, girl. Also, say goodbye, little swan, you won't live long after I steal your true love!" Odele laughed, vanishing.

"Oh no! This is bad. We gotta to get Pinkie to the palace!" Dorothy cried, looking around. "Right…" Applejack murmured.

The swan maiden looked at the lake and made a clicking noise.

Odile disguised as Pinkie Pie walked into the palace and gave a smug smile when she caught a sight of the prince.

She walked gracefully down the steps to meet him.

"Wow! You look… Beautiful." Cheese whispered, taking her hoof.

"Thank you, my prince. I'm happy to be here!" Odile giggled.

"Before I announce my love to you, may I have this dance?" Cheese asked, extending his hoof.

She took it and smiled smugly. "Yes, and remember, your love for only me."

"Are you sure this will work?" Rainbow asked.

Fluttershy was making little clicks and honks to the other swans in the lake. She looked up and nodded.

"They said they'd help… But, isn't there another way? They could hurt themselves!" Fluttershy creid.

The swans honked. "Oh, alright, if you really want to!" Fluttershy sighed.

The birds flew up and grabbed the unthorny parts of the branches blocking their way and pulled. When they were all gone, the swans landed and bowed. The ponies cheered and clapped, then ran to the palace.

Pinkie ran up to the palace and flew to a window. She saw Odile dancing gracefully with her prince.

Odile looked to the window and saw Pinkie. She narrowed her eyes and curtains covered the window. Cheese lifted her up as they counted to dance ballet. "You know, I thought you'd be a bit less graceful, Odete. You know, I prefer to bogie
down then ballet." Siegfried whispered. "Do you want to?

"And make a fool out of ourselves? I should think not!" Odile hissed.

The prince raised his eyebrows.

The swan honked and honked, trying to get the prince's attention.

"Let us in!" Twilight creid to the guard.

"I'm sorry, miss, but this is a private event."

"I think now is the time to tell them you love me!" Odile sighed.

The prince bit his lip. "Okay, Odette…"

They turned to the crowd watching them. "Um, everypony, there's a announcement I'd like to make…"

Pinkie honked a "No!" Through the window.

"I must say that I have a undying love for a maiden I met only hours ago. I know it's weird, but I do know it's true!"

"No!" Pinkie honked again.

"My love is for this mare right here, Odette." Siegfried sighed.

"No! No!" Pinkie screeched as she fell, turning back to a girl as the moon rose. Her friends gasped and caught her.

Cheese felt a pain in his heart and he grabbed it. "What's going on?!" He gasped.

"That, my dear prince, is your love dying!" Odile laughed.

Siegfried pushed her away. "Where's Odette?!" He yelled.

"Try outside."

Siegfried ran out to the courtyard and saw Pinkie dying in her tearful friends arms. "No…" He whispered, running to her. He bent down and cupped her face in his hooves.

"I'm so sorry. But, I do love you." He sighed. Then he gave a long and passionate kiss.

When it ended, Pinkie gasped for air. "Huh, that wasn't supposed to happen, but, I believe this story's at an end!" She whispered, seeing herself replaced by a brown haired peach mare.

"What?" Siegfried asked.

Suddenly, Rarity, Twilight and the book vanished.

Pinkie got up and curtseyed. "It's been a pleasure… Seeing your ball, it was so boring, you should try to get into party making… You'd be great." She whispered. The other ran off and Pinkie smiled. "Good bye." She sighed, then
turned and ran.

"What strange girls." Cheese muttered.
