Sunset Shimmer has been practicing hypnosis for her psychology class and quickly grows a keen interest in the subject. Wanting to test out her newfound skills, she decides to perform a little experiment which involves hypnotizing two people at once. Thankfully, she encounters Pinkie Pie and her sister Maud in a rather deserted hallway after school one day and manages to convince the sisters to let her hypnotize them. Pinkie finds the idea exciting while Maud is more or less neutral about it, though she does cite hypnosis as a good way to relax. Taking a pocket watch in her hand, Sunset begins to swing it in front of the two girls’ eyes as she guides them into a trance. A few minutes later, after Pinkie and Maud have fallen into a hypnotic sleep, Sunset stows the watch in her pocket and soon gets an idea as to what to do with her two subjects. Standing in front of Maud, Sunset says that the older girl will come out of hypnosis with a personality similar to Pinkie’s. Once Maud accepts the suggestion (a smile coming across her face as she does), Sunset moves in front Pinkie Pie, telling her pink-haired friend that she will wake up with a personality much like her older sister’s. After Pinkie verbally accepts the suggestion (her smile dropping as she talks), Sunset snaps her fingers and instantly sees a major change once the Pies fully wake up. Maud now has a big grin on her face with her eyes all the way open, is acting a lot more energetic and hyper, and is (in an enthusiastic voice) gushing about the birthday party she plans on throwing one of her friends. Pinkie, however, has a blank expression on her face with half-lidded eyes, is acting much calmer and laid-back than normal, and soon begins talking about rocks in a monotone voice once Maud stops talking herself. Sunset finds the whole display quite amusing and wonders what else she can make the two sisters do through the power of hypnosis….
