>"Tis Be A Scratch" Day in Canterlot City >Be Twilight >Finals have come and gone but you find yourself un-phased >Ever since you began studying under the Human scholar system things have been a breeze   >The mathematics is child's play, the science is second grade equestrian chemistry and I've already read there entire history book five times by now >The exams were all finished and all you needed to do now is relax and enjoy the remainder of your stay in the human realm with your friends.................... ------------------------------ >"Twilight, i really appreciate you comin and helpin me and ma family out tonight at the rec-center." "No problem Applejack, but what exactly are you planning with your family at the center anyway?" >"Well you see, every third and fifth Friday of every month the town has this big Scrabble Tournament. And ma family have been apart of the whole shindig ever since tha start. And you're gonna be our secret weapan this year!" "Weapon?" >"Yeah! Ever since those creepy Amish folks moved in, we've haven't won a single game since! But this year its gonna be different, with yur brains and our experience we can take back the championship and return what was stolen from ma family!" "Over a game of Scrabble?" >"I don't think you've noticed Twi but we Apples take our competitions quite seriously. Its in our blood Twi, no Apple in history has ever stood back and let someone else take whats theirs!" "What about the time you got second place in The Rodeo competition?" >"Rodeo competition? What Rodeo competition?" "The one wh--- wait never mind wrong Applejack." >"Wrong Applejack? Twi what in the hay are you talkin about?" "Nothing! Oh nothing! Its nothing to worry about Applejack, he he…."   >"Alrightly then…..Where was I? Oh yeah, the Apple Family has never backed down from a challenge and tonight we're gonna win this thing! The look on those Amishes faces when they lose HA it'll be precious!" *A single tear runs down Applejack's eye as she imagines the event play out* "Hey Applejack." >"Ummmm wa wa Yeah Twi?" "Would it be possible to stop by Norman's house for a bit, i wanna see if he has something that belongs to me?" >"What did he take?" "Oh, its just a book. I let him borrow some of my textbooks to study for the final and i think he forgot to return one." >"Mmmmmmm well… alright i guess, but no chitter chatter or anything! I wanna get there as early as possible to lay down the foundation of our plan with the rest of my kin." *You raise an eyebrow to Applejack's remark* >"Uhhhh well……………… ur apart of my kin Twi! Heh, we're best friends aren't we? *Applejack smiles with a look of uncertainty on her face* "Best of friends. But don't worry Applejack, its just Norman what's the worst that could happen? ---------------------------------------------- >The two girls arrive at the house >Be Twilight *You start knocking on the door* >"I hope that boy's here." "He probably is, its a Sunday what else would he be doing instead of playing video games?" >"Stalking Rares around like a brain dead zombie?" "Applejack!" >"What! He does!" "Well its not up to any of us to judge Norman's decision on how he spends his time with others." >"I mean what makes Rarity so appealing to him anyways Twi. I mean most of the time when they actually do spend time together she just makes him carry all her stuff! Only twice out of tha entire year they've gone out to do anything other than shopping! And when he's not butt tailing Rares he's playing those video games till dawn! It aint healthy Twi." *You cross your arms* "I never knew you cared so much for his wellbeing Applejack." >"I-I-I don't! Its just that….IT AINT HEALTHY as a friend I'm just a little concerned about it and you should be too!" >Applejack frowned a little as the thought of Norman's habits begins to dig into your mind "Well, I guess we could do something……" >"Plus his parents keep pesterin us into giving the boy a job on ma farm but i see no point in hiring him if he's gonna be half assin everything." "Okay now that was just mean." *BAM!* "What was that!" *CRASH!* >"Norman!" *BLAM!* >A series of loud banging noises have began to erupt from the inside of Norman's house >You look at Applejack with a worried face as she returns a similar demeanor >"Stand back Twi! Im gonna try something stupid!" >Applejack takes a couple steps back as she begins to take charge "Applejack wait……" *Door unlocks* >Norman's head pops out of the small opening >"Heeeeeey Purple hows it go----UUFFFF" >Before he could finish, Applejack runs full force into the door sending Norman flying inside "NORMAN!" >You quickly run to his aid, jumping over a flat Applejack before stopping to notice the area where the sound was coming >"AIE AIE AIE AIE AIE AIE AIE AIE!" >"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" *CLANG!* >"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" >"NYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" *CLANK!* >You can't believe your eyes…… the spell actually worked! Kinda……….. -------------------------------- >She swings to the left and then the right! >You duck each time preparing your jab >You lunge at her only to be blocked by her shovel >You go for an upper cut >She dodges >You go for a straight jab >She blocks it >She swings her shovel directly at your head >You quickly crouch and begin an assault upon her shins >She stumbles backwards as you crawl and reach for the metal poker next to the fireplace >Jumping on to your feet, you jump once more onto the surviving table preparing an attack to stab your vile duplicate "THERE SHALL BE ONLY OOOOOOONN---YOUCH!" >Damn it! Right in the little Bradster! >Be Brad "OH GAWD MY BAWLS!" >You fall over as SHE towers over your writhing body >"Had enough?" "NEVER!-AHHHHHH!" >She continues her assault your precious gem stones >The pain! The awful pain! >"Wooooo YEAH! You go girl! Brenda! Brenda! Brenda!" "DAMN YOU SEXY NORMAN!" >No! This can't be it, it can't end like this! >"Say goodbye Bradley!" "NOOOOO! Not on my watch!" >She thrusts the shovel directly towards your head >Deploying Palm Solo, you stop the incoming shovel with your right hand >Seeing your opportunity, you direct the shovel to floor and you quickly reel up your free leg as you vagina kick the bitch >"SHIT! MY CLITORIS!" >She falls hard onto the wooden floor holding her Meat wallet in her hands >You roll over in pain checking whether Dan and Chris were okay >Dan seemed a bit twitchy but still in good shape, Chris ran back into your pelvis to avoid further punishment   >Coward >"Boooooooo! I call foul." "MY BALLS WOMEN!" >"Whatever……" >Bitch >It ends now "ONE SHALL STAND ONE SHALL FALL!" >You shout as you slowly rise from your period of pain >She still lays there dazed trying to comprehend how a pussy kick could hurt so much >You finally manage to stand "IT ENDS NOw……….Oh! Hey Twilight! Didn't see ya there! Why is Norman and Applejack laying on the floor?…….How long were you watching? Heh Heh…." >An award silence is heard as Twilight looks on with curiosity as her mind is still comprehending the event that just took place *BAM* >You feel an ever increasing pain on the surface of your head as you fall once more only for your vision to fade to black. >"Well that takes care of one thing." >"………………………." >"……………………………." >"You're a lot cuter than i expected you to be Lady Dusk. The names Norma." ------------------ "Gah! My head!" >Be Norman >You slowly recover your posture as you begin to survey the scene in front of you >Well it doesnt look too bad >Both Brad and Brenda are tied with gags in their mouths, shooting daggers at each other. >Norma and Twilight seem to be talking as Applejack is holding a bag of ice on her head   >"Well look who's up! Never knew taking a dry one in the front would tucker you out so quickly." "Ah shut it Norma." >You say visibly annoyed at your double as she puts on a shit eating grin >You make your way to the girls "Hey Purple, hey Applejack, ugh ow what happened?" >"Applejack tackled you full force and you banged your head on the floor." "Is that all?" >"Well no, Brad over there got a frying pan to the head, Brenda needs a crash course lesson on the female anatomy, they also fought for some reason and I was wondering if you had anything that belonged to me. Oh i dont know.......MY SPELL BOOK!" >Twilight's tone becomes more serous as Norma continues to watch with curiosity in her eyes as she drinks her cup of orange soda. >"NORMAN! Do you know what could have happen! You're lucky that only a female version of you and Brad came into this realm!" "Yeeeesh! Sorry okay, im sorry it was all an accident i swear. I mean it was Brad who was the first to find and read your spell! I simplify was my usual self." >You give off a timid smile as Norma finishes her drink >"He's lying you know." "God damn it Norma. I thought we were the same guy" >"Correction im a girl you're the guy but we are somewhat the same person." >Twilight's face hardens as she looks at you "Okay fine, i read the spell and that brought HER here and along with Brenda and Nola. But i swear it was all on accident, i didnt know saying the spell would have brought them here!" >Twilight turns to Norma only to receive a shrug >She sighs and begins to rub her temples >"Just....... just forget about, the only thing that matters now is that everyone is fine and the worst has been avoided. >"Tha worst?" >Applejack after letting her head rest in the ice asks curiously "Well look who decided to finally pitch in!" >"Oh quit yur yamerin loverboy, yur the one in the hot water at the moment!" >Applejack slumps in her chair as you have no real response to reply >"And also sorry about the whole tackle thing, the fighten between the two of dem really set off sum worry between me and Twi here" >You relax a bit not wanting to get in anymore heat with anyone else "Ehhh dont worry. It probably would have made it worse if you got into the fight between the two of them." >"Alrighty then, so Twi the WORST?" >Twilight looked puzzled at Applejack's question >"Worst wha- OH oh yes the worst! Well let me explain. Could you stand for me Norma?" >"Sure anything for you Twilight." *Wink* >You're starting to hate yourself more and more each day ----------------------------------- >Be Twilight "Well how do i put it in simple terms? You see the spell Norman casted was an experimental spell i was creating based on the properties of the magic mirror that acts like a crossroads between our worlds. Instead of waiting around every thirty moons or so to cross between realms, i've convinced Princes-I-I mean my superiors in allowing me to create a easier manner of travel between here and my realm. The issue is the spell at its current state is too unstable and or unpredictable to safely test, the only reason i brought it here was to see if the Internet had any information or theories on realm hopping or anything on terrestrial worlds beyond the physical realm. As i dug deeper into research i've became increasingly worried about the possibilities this spell could have if it fell into the wrong hands. With no anchor holding the bridge across realms down, the spell in theory could summon any sort of creatures beyond time and space. Norma and Brenda here are perfect examples, They're just like Norman and Brad but they're the opposite sex with notable personality differences." >"Yeah, ones a cock hungry slut, while the other is a egotistical maniac!" >"Well! Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning!?" >Norma replies back mildly offended at Norman's remark of her and her friend >"YOU DID!" >"WHY I NEVEr- wait....HA I did piss in your cornflakes! OH The look on your face this morning! Twilight, Applejack you should have seen it! It was priceless!" >"WHY I OUTTA!..." >"Norman! There aint no use in fightin! Just calm down sugarcube." >Norma continues to giggle senselessly as Applejack holds back Norman from lashing out in anger. *UGGHHHH HRRRRRM* >You clear your throat to gain there attention again "As i was saying, when i said the worst i truly meant it. Instead of Norma and Brenda, there could've been some hideously deformed creature of Super Human size and Strength here instead or some sort of shape shifting plant creature that could take the form of anybody and slowly devour us all or even WORSE! They could've summoned the Secluded Counterpart and doomed us all!" >"Secluded Counterpart? >Asks a profoundly confused Applejack "Its basically a version of yourself from the past forced in to the future with out creating a paradox branch and any physical contact made with it could cause an anti-material explosion ending all life on Earth or even the Universe! It basically follows the rule of no one identical piece of matter that are universally considered the same exact piece of matter, should never be placed in the same place at the same time, or else it'll blow up like anti-matter. >"Whaaaaaaaaaaa....." >"Purple you should really give those conspiracy websites a rest, this whole explanation is starting to sound like some terrible online fanfic about how time travel works in Trek Wars or something. And besides that still doesnt explain why Brad and Brenda are still out to kill each other."   >Everyone turns to see the two rivals staring at each other, both redshot from lack of blinking as they continue to star each other down.   >"Hey maybe its because the entire Brad race is some sort inter-dimensional cosmic anomaly which causes any form of Brad to seek another Brad of similar origin and destroy him to gain his soul, all leading up to a final battle to see who is Bradest of them all! and be declared the King of Brads!" "......................" >"................" >"It aint funny Norma, there's somthin really wrong with those two."   >"I totally understand AJ! But you got to look at the broader picture here! Brenda from my world would never go out of her way to hurt anyone! Well anyone that isnt in her crazed dominatrix gimp suit of course and i highly doubt your Brad would ever go and violate anyone if he ever had the chance! And considering what Twilight said about the Counterpart thing.."   " Secluded Counterpart..."   >"Thanks, the two of them must have some sort of cosmic bond that causes urges of violent rage to murder each other! THINK ABOUT!   >Norman face palms >"Okay its official, you have absolutely lost all your creditability." -------------------   >"Oh, Like you have a better option." >Norma replies in pompous manner >"I dont but Purple probably does!" >Collectively the trio turn towards you expecting a answer "Ahhhh-well, its only a theory but-" >Loud stomping is heard from the stairway >"OOOOOOOOoooooooo Wow!  Now that's what call soul searching!" >Nolan screamed in a  joyous attitude >"You said it Mac! You purr smoother than a cat's meow, I knew i could handle the iron better than my own bruno but golly gee i never knew i was such a sheik! >Said a rather busty woman with rather distinct features similar to that of Nolan >You presume its Nolan's counter part Nola >The two of them came slowly down the stairs. >Their clothes were rather ruffled up with their hair a shaggy mess >"HOLY CRAP! Nolan! You're still here! Why didnt anyone tell before!" "Norma told me before hand about Nolan and Nola and i thought you already knew since you mentioned Nola back in your apology." >Norman turns his frustrated gaze upon Norma >"Hey! Everything what I say has no credibility felt within it, so you wouldnt have believed me even if i told you." >Norma says in a rather annoyed sarcastic manner >Nolan and Nola enter the room >"Hey Hey Hey! How's everyone doing! Morning Twilight, nice seeing you again Applejack." >A heavy muffled look came over Applejack as Nolan greeted everyone, you simply smiled and returned his welcome >"I see the Sentry twins are still trying to kill each other. Norman, you and Norma still bickering like an old married couple or what? >"Damn it Nolan where the hell were you? Didn't you hear all the noise from downstairs?" >"Sorry man, i've been too busy exploring myself to care. Oh, which reminds me. Twilight, Applejack meet myself Nola." >"Howdy" >Applejack says in a stern voice "Hi nice to meet you, im Twilight Sparkle but you probably already knew that." >"How's it goin! Nolan you didnt tell me the two Rag-a-muffins were a couple of keen Jane's in your world!"     >Nola jokingly says as she innocently elbows Nolan       "Rag-a-muffins, Keen Janes?" >"She's sayin were cute." >You turns towards Applejack, rather puzzled >"It's old timer slang Twi, heard it when i made ma routes to Appleloosa one time." "Norma you didnt tell me about this." >"Eh must've slipped." ___________________   >"Sooooooo what are you ladies up to anyways in this fine morning? Sorry we couldnt come down earlier, but like i said to Norman. Too busy playing with myself to care, which reminds me....." >Nolan crashes on to the sofa with Nola on his side >He reaches into his pocket and throws Norman a couple wads of $100 bills. >"Here you go buddy. That should cover the stains on the roof and the busted bed frame." >"Nolan! I swear if my parents come early from there honeymoon and see the mes- wait.........stains on the roof?" >"Yeeeah, about that....." >"Sorry about fogging up ya room Bo, but i shouldnt get all the credit. Shylock's roscoe wasnt the most ritzy thing in there." >"Eh-Ehh-Ehh-Eh-" >Norman began to convulse, his eyes began to twitch and he seemed eager to throw anything up at the moment after hearing Nola "Ahhh is Norman going to be alright?" >"Just give him a minute, he'll be fine" >Norma remarks as she reaches to refill her cup with orange soda >"So is anyone going to tell us something or what?" "Oh sorry about that Nolan, well me and Applejack were on our way to a tournament but i needed to pick up a book at Norman's. So we stopped by, Applejack tackled Norman, Brad and Brenda were fighting, Norma hit Brad on the head with a frying pan, we tied both of them up and i was explaining the consequences of unprotected interdimensional travel and the effects it has on us all before you came barging in." >"That sounded important." "It kinda was." >"You gonna finish or something?" "Maybe, if no body interrupts me this time." >"Well good because me and Nola got plans today and it's best to get all the science crap out of the way so we can get a move on." "Woah there! Who said anything about leaving? You six arent going anywhere until I get some notes down and find away to send your duplicates back home!" >"Oh dont be such a wet blank doll, what's eating you all of the sudden?" >Nola responds disinterested in Twilight's banter "Eating me! Oh! Besides the fact that the entire world could've ended while you two were cuddling, kinda makes me uneasy." >Both Nolan and Nola collectively raise an eyebrow "Want me to start with the short version or long version?" >"Long" >They both say "Okay then! Norma could you pass me some of that orange stuff you've been drinking? Im a bit parched." >"No can do Purple!" "Why not?" >"I drank it all!" >She says while smiling as if it were an achievement "Alright, could you get a new bottle then?" >"Nope." "Why is that?" >"Drank it all this morning." "Do you have any juice?" >"All gone." "How about milk?" >"How do you think i got my piss into Norman's cereal?" >Norman falls over onto the floor continuing to twitch >"Like i said 'A Minute'." >Norma says nonchalantly "How about water! Can you do water?" >"Yeee-errrrrr-nnnnn YES! I mean yeah nothing wrong with the water here, just plain old water! Heh Heh....." >Twilight says nothing as her brooding face explains her exact thoughts over the issue at hand. >"Okay, I may have accidently broke the plumbing when Brenda started to fight Brad. BUT it was for a good reason!" >Nothing >"....................... I'll get a bottle from the garage." >Norma says as she gets up and heads for the back >"Hey dont forget us too!" >Nolan shouts >"Ya know somthin Twi, im startin to see why Norman hates that gurl so much." >Applejack remarks after witnessing the event play out    "Go figure." >"Kitten dont mind Norma she's a bit of a bearcat, but once you get to know her she's one ripe tomato!" "Hope so Nola, because the impression she's giving off here surely will last." *CRASH* >"IM OKAY." >Norma shouts from deep in the garage >"Hay Twi, that thing you sed about no body leavin until you do yer thing. How long is it gonna last?" "Well im not sure Applejack. Considering the pace we're going at now; it could take several hours. Heck maybe the rest of the day." >"THE REST OF THE DAY!" >Both Applejack and a more down to reality Norman says in unison >"Welcome back to the land of the living, Norman buddy!" >"Ah shut it Nolan!" >Norman says in a rather irritated response >"But Twi! What about the tournament today, you know how important this is to ma family!" "Im sorry Applejack but this has taken top priorities at the moment, im sure your family will do just fine with out me." >"But ya promised!" "Applejack." >You say sternly at her >"GRRRRRRRRRRR!-" "Applejack you're acting like a child." >"NOW WHERE IM GONNA FIN SOMEONE WHO'S GOT HALF THE BRAIN POWER TO PLAY SCRABBLE WITH!" >Applejack yells angrily >"Did someone say Scrabble!" >Norma says as she comes into the room carrying an arm full of water bottles >"I love that game!" >"I hate that game." >Norman says in response >"Hey you're back again, see what did i tell you!" >Norma says proudly _________________   >Be Applejack "Ahhh sed no!" >"Oh come on Applejack! PLEEEEEEEESE!" "No is no ya
