Description
Babs Seed had just woken up. It was a beautiful morning, and she had got back from Ponyville yesterday. Already missing her friends, she hurried to her phone and dialed Apple Bloom's number."Hello?" Her cousin answered sleepily.
"Oh, hey Applebloom! I was just wakin' up, and I thought I might give you a call since I already miss you guys. What are ya doing?" Babs asked happily, walking to the window, the phone in her hoof.
"Ah'm just sleepin', Babs." The farm pony replied. "Ah stayed up late last night with Scoots an' Sweetie Belle. Ah was gonna sleep in, since it's Saturday, but ah guess not..."
"I'm sorry, Applebloom, I just couldn't wait. I guess I should've known you'd be tired. Would ya like to go back to sleep?" Babs asked, her face filled with disappointment.
"That sure would be mighty nice, Babs. Ah'm sure ya could call Sweetie Belle, she's usually up right at the crack a' dawn. Ah'd give ya Scoots' number, but ah don't have it."
"Oh, thanks a lot, Applebloom! I'll call her right away." So Babs got Sweetie's number and Applebloom went back to sleep.
Smiling happily again, Babs dialed Sweetie Belle's number. The phone rang and rang until a frantic filly picked up.
"Hello? What is it? I'm kind of in an emergency right now!" Sweetie Belle's voice squeaked. "If you're calling for Rarity, she's busy too!"
"I'm sorry ta interrupt you, Sweetie Belle. It's me, Babs, and I thought I'd just call ya and-"
"Babs?!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed. "Is it you? Really? Listen, I need your help. Have you looked in the mirror since you woke up?"
"Huh? N-No, I sure haven't." Babs said, confused. "Why?"
"Oh, well could you do it real fast?"
"I guess so, but I don't see why." Babs replied, walking across the hall to her bathroom. She peeked in and looked at the mirror over the sink.
"Are you looking?" Sweetie asked quickly.
"Yeah, but I don't see what I'm supposed to see. What's goin' on, Sweetie Belle?" Babs wondered, seeing just herself in the reflection.
"Oh, n-nevermind then. I thought that maybe you're having the same problem as my sister. You see, yesterday after you left, I brought home a picture of you to show to Rarity, and she said you were really different than anypony she'd ever seen and that she loved your mane, and then she said since your colors went so well together, she wanted to make a line of clothing based on it, and she's gonna sell them in Manehatten. But when she went to levitate the picture, something went wrong, and now-" Sweetie started talking very quickly and Babs was struggling to catch up.
"Hold on a second, Sweetie Belle, I can't understand ya." Babs said, interrupting, and listening very hard.
"Sweetie Belle! Would you hurry up!?" Babs heard someone shout from the phone.
"Oh, sorry Babs, I have to go. Rarity needs me. I'll call you later okay? Bye!"
With a click, the phone was silent. Babs sighed and put it down, then shook her head and went downstairs.

"I'm back, Rarity."
"Who was it?" Sweetie Belle's older sister asked as she sat in the bathtub.
"It was Babs." Sweetie responded, hurrying back over to her sister.
"Babs!" Rarity exclaimed. "Does she know how to fix it? Did she have the same problem?"
"N-No, not really." Sweetie sighed. "It's just you."
"I know Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie like to pull pranks, but this is taking it too far!" Rarity shouted, burying her face in her wet hooves.
"I don't think this is any prank, Rarity." Sweetie Belle mumbled. "This is too serious. I think your spell went wrong."
Rarity pouted and looked as if she was about to cry. Sweetie Belle continued to scrub her sister's now brown coat.
Rarity's fur was brown, her mane turned two shades of red, her eyes were green, and she even had three freckles on each cheek.
This was definitely serious.
