Scootaloo raised her eyebrows uncertainty. At that moment, Adagio started to sing. "I must immt that in the past I've been a nasty, they weren't kidding when they call me, well, a villain. But you'll find that nowadays, I've mended all my ways, repented, saw the light, and made a switch!" She sang. "True? Yes." She laughed. "And fortunately, I know a little magic. It's a talent that I've alway had possessed! And here, lately, please don't laugh, I use it on behalf of the miserable, lonely and depressed!" She then whispered to her sisters, "Pathetic!"
"Poor unfortunate souls, in pain, in need!" Two holograms appeared before her. "This one longing to be thinner, that one wants to get the girl, and do I help them? Yes, indeed." Adagio sang. Scootaloo tilted her head as she watched. "Those poor unfortunate souls! So sad, so true. They coming flocking to my cauldron crying, "Spells, Adagio, please! And do I help them? Yes, I do!" She sighed. "Now it's happened once or twice, some creature couldn't pay the price, and I'm afraid I had to rake them across the coals!" The mercifully gasped as an ugly brown and shriveled thing grabbed her tail. She pulled away. "Yes I've had the odd complaint, but on a whole, I've been a saint! To those poor unfortunate souls!" Adagio sang.
She then swam to Scootaloo. "Here's the deal, princess, I'll make a potion that will give you three days as a pony. Before the sun sets on the third day, you need Rainbow Dash to kiss you-" Scootaloo gaged. "Ew! That's so mushy!" Adagio rolled her eyes. "On the forehead! If she does kiss you before three days, you're pony forever. If not…." Scootaloo looked up. "What?" She asked. "You're mine, forever." The filly gasped as did Applebloom and Sweetie Belle who were watching from the entrance. "No, Scootaloo!" Sweetie Belle cried. Adagio glared at her. "Learn to hold your tongue, girl." With that, Aria gagged Sweetie Belle and Applebloom. "So, do we have a deal?" Scootaloo bit her lip. "But I'll never see my mother or my friends again…" She whispered. "Yes, but you'll be with a new sister. Oh and we need to discuss my payment."
"But I do-"
"I'm not asking for much. You'll never even miss it! What I'm asking for is… Your voice." Scootaloo reeled back in shock and touched her throat. "M-my voice?" She gasped. "You got it, dear. No singing, talking, nothing."
"But without my voice, how can I-"
"You have your looks, your coolness and don't underestimate the power of scootering, it's very intriguing." Adagio started to sing again. "The ponies up there don't like a lot of blabber! They think a girl who gossips is a bore!Yes on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word. And after all, dear, what is idle prattle for?"
"Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation. True awesome mares avoid it when they can. But they like and think upon on a filly who's withdrawn. It's she who holds her tongue who get's a sister. Come on you poor unfortunate soul! Go ahead! Make your choice!"
Scootaloo gasped as a contract appeared in front of her. "I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day. It won't cost much, just your voice! You poor unfortunate soul, it's sad but true. If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet, you've got the pay the toll. Take a gulp and take a breath and go ahead and sign the scroll!" Adagio then turned to her sisters. "Aria, Sonata, now I've got her, girls, the boss is on a roll! You poor unfortunate soul!" She finished. Scootaloo sighed softly and signed the contract and it vanished at once. The siren then started to mumble and the spell was cast. "Now sing!" Scootaloo's started to sing and her tail vanished and was replaced with two pony legs. She was going to squeal but she grabbed her burning throat because she couldn't breathe underwater anymore. "Swim for your life, my little pony!" Adagio laughed as Sweetie Belle and Applebloom swam her to the surface.
Rainbow Dash sighed softly. "I can't get that voice out of my head." She whispered, thinking about the child she had seen that supposedly had saved her. All she could remember was that voice. Tank suddenly started walking somewhere and Rainbow knew he was determined. "Hey, buddy, where you going?"
Unknowing to her, Scootaloo had come out of the water behind the rocks she was leaning on. "Look at you! Just… Look at you!" Pip cried, landing next to her. The girl awoke and stared in wonder at her legs. "Let's see here, something's different…" Pip whispered, flying around her. "Don't tell me! Your mane! Did you style it? Ah, using that dinglehopper, haven't you?" Scootaloo laughed with no sound and shook her head. "No? Well…. Ah ha! It's… It's…" Scootaloo waved her hoof in front of him. "Sorry, can't put my hoof on it…" Sweetie Belle poked her head out of the water. "Pip! She has legs! It's crazy! Y-you're mad!" She cried to Scootaloo. The filly shrugged. "I'm going to tell your mother and-" Scootaloo shook her head in shock. "Don't shake your head at me! I may be your very best friend but that doesn't mean I won't….. I- FINE! I'll help you okay?" Scootaloo hugged her and Sweetie Belle smiled softly. "You might be on pony legs, but you'll still be my friend." The girl suddenly dove underwater.
"Hey, you alright?" Rainbow suddenly had found her. Scootaloo gaped in surprise when Tank came up then smiled in happiness, patting him on the head. "Hmm, you look familiar… Have we met?" Rainbow asked. Scootaloo nodded quickly. "We have? Wait… You! You're the one I've been searching for! W-what's your name?" Rainbow cried. Scootaloo tried to say but touched her throat in religion. All parts of the deal were real. The mare tilted her head. "What's wrong? You can't speak?" Scootaloo bit her lip. "Oh… You can't be who I thought…" Rainbow sighed. The princess shook her head vigorously. "You okay? What?" The past mermaid sighed softly. "Hey, it's alright, let me take you to my home in Cloudsdale." The filly stood eagerly but fell into Rainbow's arms. "Wow… Come on, you'll be okay squirt." Scootaloo gave one glance at the ocean before being escorted to Cloudsdale. Sweetie Belle poked her head out and winked. The princess winked back and turned to Rainbow. Her idol was here, but she couldn't say anything to her!
