It Got Worse de-wicking.


The mane six take it upon themselves to try and help Josh get accustomed to life in Equestria until Princess Celestia can send him back home. However, the fact that Josh doesn't even believe in love, friendship, or anything like that may prove to be a difficult obstacle to overcome. [[ItGotWorse It gets worse]] when Josh is turned into a pony due to Poison Joke, making him even angrier.
