Spike comes down with a bad case of Sapphire Flu, and while Twilight is away, she asks Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash to care for him.
An ancient lamp purchased from a trio of mysterious merchants, inspires Fluttershy (with help from Rainbow Dash) to tell a story she heard, a story that takes place in ancient Saddle Arabia.
Amire has traveled to Saddle Arabia in the hope of getting money for her family, but soon she finds herself trapped in a cave with a dusty, old lamp. To her surprise, she discovers that the lamp is no ordinary lamp, it contains three magic genies named Yakko, Wakko, and Dot, who will each grant her one wish.
But unknown to Amire, the magic lamp and the genies within, have caught the eye of the evil Garra, who hopes to use the wishes to become powerful enough to take over not just Saddle Arabia, but all of Equestria!
Finish this please
"I don't know if I can really tell the story, I'm not as sentimental about things like you are, Fluttershy."
Said the Pegasus that nearly broke Cloudsdale and delayed winter because she didn't want her pet tortoise to hibernate and for them be apart for the winter.
Still, this is a good story overall, and the first crossover I've ever seen with animaniacs. Also good to see a "sick Spike" story that involves somepony other than Twi taking care of him (not that I don't love the Twi ones, it's just that this is a different perspective). Good character interaction overall, 'specially with Rainbow and Flutters.
8193772 Sorry, forgot to tag it as completed. Fixed now.
Good story, but given the phrasing of Amire's first wish, I feel the whole "use third wish for genie's freedom promise" might've been unnecessary.
I liked it!
Does Garra have one or two R's in it?
8197674 Two.
I guess I don't understand why it has an Applejack tag as she never appears in the story.
8200700 Applejack is playing the role of Amire.
8201304 Still don't understand. It's explicitly stated that it isn't Applejack because appearances are coincidental.
Hope that more MLP/Animaniacs crossover stories are made now that the reboot has aired.
