Part 2:

[Next morning, Jokesterrap comes out of his house. He is then spotted by Twilight Sparkle.]

Twilight Sparkle: Morning, Jokesterrap.

Jokesterrap: Oh, hi.

Twilight Sparkle: Where were you last night? I came by your place but someone inside said you weren't there.

Jokesterrap: Oh that was my friend, Boringrap. He's not very fun. He's more into smarts.

Twilight Sparkle: So what were you doing?

Jokesterrap: I was… um… doing stuff. That's right. I was very busy and had Boringrap mind the place for me while I was gone.

Twilight Sparkle: Well I'd like to meet him in person some time.

Jokesterrap: *Startled. You can't! He's… busy. Very busy. Beside he's not very social.

[Jokesterrap races off leaving Twilight Sparkle surprised. Jokesterrap soon runs into Angel Pearl again.]

Angel Pearl: Hi, Jokesterrap.

Jokesterrap: Oh, hi Angel Pearl. Nice day, isn't it?

Angel Pearl: Sure is. I was wondering if you were doing anything later tonight. If not, would you maybe like to go to Sugar cube Corner for a treat?

Jokesterrap: Tonight? Uh, sorry. I'm very busy tonight with stuff.

Angel Pearl: *Disappointed. Oh. Well, how about tomorrow night?

Jokesterrap: Busy too.

Angel Pearl: Are you ever not busy?

Jokesterrap: Um, let me check my schedule. *Flips open his schedule. Sorry. All booked up. Nice talking to you!

[Jokesterrap races off leaving Angel Pearl with a sad look on her face.]

Angel Pearl: Maybe he doesn't like me.

[Later at the Jokeshop, Jokesterrap is seen behind the counter. He notices his cat Trippy looking sternly at him.]

Trippy: Let me guess; you didn't tell Angel Pearl your secret and have decided to hide like a coward.

Jokesterrap: Stop butting in, Trippy.

Trippy: Dude, she likes you and if you don't give her a good enough excuse for not wanting to go out with her she's gonna hate her.

Jokesterrap: But if she knew why I don't go out much, she'd hate me too.

Trippy: So you'd rather her think you're a jerk than find out the truth?

Jokesterrap: Yes. I don't want her to think I'm a freak!

[At that moment, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo come in.]

Sweetie Belle: Hi Cousin Jokesterrap.

Jokesterrap: Oh, hi Sweetie Belle. What brings you and your friends over here.

Apple Bloom: We were just wondering what kind of jokes and gags you had so we could play a prank on Diamond Tiara.

Jokesterrap: Well, have a look around and see if there's anything that catches your fancy.

[Them Scootaloo spots a bottle of dark blue liquid.]

Scootaloo: What's this stuff?

Jokesterrap: Oh. Let me give a demonstration. *Sees Rarity prancing about looking fancy. Looks like I found my volunteer.

[Jokesterrap then squirts the liquid at Rarity, causing a big stain on her gown. She gets furious.]

Rarity: *Furious. Jokesterrap!! Look what you've done to my fabulous gown!!

Jokesterrap: *Laughing. I don't know what you're talking about.

Rarity: Don't you see this big stain you made?! *Shows the part of the dress with the stain, but the stain is gone. What? It's gone.

Jokesterrap: That's the beauty of Invisible Ink. Once it's on, it's gone. Sorry for messing with you like that, Rarity. *Sticks out a stick of chewing gum. Want some gum?

Rarity: As long as it isn't paste flavored.

[Rarity pulls the stick, but suddenly she gets shocked.]

Jokesterrap: *Laughs. Good old Shock Gum. Gets them every time.

Sweetie Belle: We'll take it.

[So they pay Jokesterrap and head off. Jokesterrap then goes behind a door leading to the Chemistry  Lab part of his shop and begins making some mixtures. He notices a beaker with a label on it. The Label reads "Flavor Changer: Grape Flavored". He glares at the beaker and turns it away.]

Jokesterrap: I hope I can fix my mistake and finally feel normal again.

[He looks nervously in a mirror and sees his reflection turn into Boringrap. This makes him nervous and covers the mirror. About a week passes and Twilight sees Angel Pearl sadly packing her things.]

Twilight Sparkle: What are you doing?

Angel Pearl: *Sadly. I'm going back to Canterlot. Jokesterrap doesn't like me. I'm never gonna find my very special somepony.

Twilight Sparkle: Angel Pearl, why wouldn't Jokesterrap like you?

Angel Pearl: Because he won't go out with me! What other sign would be required to know if someone doesn't like you?

[Angel Pearl continues packing as Twilight decides to do something about this. She rounds up Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy.]

Twilight Sparkle: Something odd is going on. Jokesterrap keeps acting strange and I believe it has something to do with this Boringrap Character.

Rainbow Dash: I bet he's a secret agent sent to spy on us and see if anypony is awesome enough to join the Wonder Bolts. That would be awesome!

Pinkie Pie: Maybe he's trying to make a superly fun party for Jokesterrap with cake and balloons and cupcakes!!

Rarity: You are so weird, Pinkie.

Spike: Wait a minute! I think I have a clue.

[The six get closer to Spike as he talks.]

Spike: A couple nights ago I was around the Joke Shop and I thought I spotted what looked like a grey, better groomed version of Jokesterrap. I wasn't sure who it was, but I saw something strange. He had Jokesterrap's cutiemark!

Mane Six: What?!

Twilight Sparkle: You must have seen Boringrap.

Rainbow: He's probably a Cutie Mark Thief that did something to Jokesterrap!

Applejack: Let's get him!

Twilight Sparkle: From what I guess, Boringrap only comes out at night. We'll wait till then to catch him.

[That night the Mane Six and Spike head to the Jokeshop.]

Twilight Sparkle: *Knocking on the Door. Jokesterrap, open up!

Jokesterrap: *Voice only. What do you want Twilight?

Twilight Sparkle: Let us in! We want to talk to you and Boringrap!

Jokesterrap: *Voice only. You can't! Now go ho… *Begins groaning in pain. No. Not now! *Screams.*

[The Group are a bit startled and Rainbow Dash kicks the door in, just in time to see Boringrap race out another door.]

Rainbow Dash: Boringrap's getting away!

Twilight Sparkle: After him!! He knows where Jokesterrap is!

[The Group chases after Boringrap. Trippy is seen watching from an upstairs window looking worried.]

Trippy: This isn't going to end well for the boss. I've got to get to Angel Pearl before it's too late!

[He races off to find Angel Pearl. Luckily she's still hadn't left Ponyville yet. Trippy runs up to her, out of breath.]

Angel Pearl: Trippy? What's up?

Trippy: *Trying to catch his breath. I have… something important… to tell you… about Jokesterrap.

[Meanwhile, Boringrap is still being chased. He goes around a corner but is blocked by Pinkie Pie. He races off to another location but is blocked by Applejack. This goes on until the group corners Boringrap at last.]

Rainbow Dash: End of the line, Boringrap! Now spill the beans; what have you done with Jokesterrap?

Twilight Sparkle: And why do you have his Cutie Mark?

[Borningrap looks a bit scared and doesn't answer.]

Rainbow Dash: Didn't you hear a thing I said? *Louder. What have you done with Jokesterrap?

[Boringrap looks a bit more scared. He finally speaks with Jokesterrap's voice.]

Boringrap: *Quietly with Jokesterrap's Voice. I am Jokesterrap.

[The Group looks confused. Suddenly Boringrap groans in pain and falls to the ground, holding his throat.]

Boringrap: *Groans. Here we go again!

[Suddenly Boringrap gets surrounded in bright light. When the light settles, the group is shocked to see that Boringrap has turned into…]

Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy: *Shocked and Confused. Jokesterrap?!?

(To be continued…)

Cutie Mark Thief? (Cut to season 5 episodes 1 and 2....) Without knowing it, that would become a thing later on.
