Chapter 32- Emotional headache

Sunset Shimmer sighed heavily with her fingers intertwined in front of her eyes as she fights back a huge headache that was making her temples tremble with rage.

"Hey, what does that device do?"

Sunset ignored the voice without even opening her eyes. To be completely honest with herself she really wanted to go back through the flow of time itself just to stop her past self from speaking with Octavia Melody. It seems like everything was so much more simple and easier at that time... Which was only a day ago.

"you're not very bright, are you?" A second voice answered the first one with sarcasm in her voice, but she decided to ignore it too. "Of course it's a toaster,"

Now, to be fair, her headache had nothing to do with the demon per si, but undoubtedly if they had not talked so much about feelings and that kind of stuff last night she would happily stay ignorant and living in her beautiful and oblivious life, after all, she had spent thousands of years without even remembering what is like to feel something besides emptiness and boredom.

But then, of course, Twilight Sparkle had to show up. At first she was nothing more than a way to spent some time, a simple and small distraction. With due time, the Tatzwurm apparently became quite attached to the girl, which was not a problem until she started to feel attached too.

When she noticed this fact she decided to run away. It was not like she did not wanted to feel anything, but she was scared of what she was going to feel when the scientist stop showing up, but instead of simply letting her go in peace that girl literally crossed half of the continent on the back of a giant monster to find her.

"And what does this thing do?" The first voice asked. "Toast?"

"And 10 points for Gryffindor," Sunset could not see, but she is very certain that the owner of the second voice is rolling her eyes. She decided to ignore them again.

After they started living together everything got worse. She started to have true feelings again, feelings that wasted no time in hitting her with a bat as she started to have even stronger feelings that she never even felt before and that she honestly does not even really know how to deal with.

And then Octavia had to say those emotional words of wisdom and experience in true love. She hated to admit but that conversation may had shambled her mind a little bit.

"Are you mocking me, you stupid piece of rotten meat?" The first voice angrily asked.

"You noticed this on your own? Another well deserved 10 points for Gryffindor!"

"CAN YOU TWO, PLEASE, SHUT UP? I AM TRYING TO THINK HERE!" Finally Sunset's patience ended and she yelled while glaring the reason of her headache.

In front of her eyes there was two small creatures not bigger than her hand each. The owner of the first voice had a deep crimson skin and ever flaming hair. "Oh, please, I am interested in learning, is it a problem?" Her voice was very high-pitched and arrogant. As much as she hates to admit she is a mirror of her demonic form.

"Right, of course, you are," The other one was even smaller, but this one had no demonic appearance, instead she is exactly like Sunset Shimmer herself, with exception of the clothes.

Sunset's temple are starting to tremble even more each passing second. If she had to bet what exactly is happening she would say that learning about her own feelings had caused some kind of disorder and confusion inside her brain, and given her magical nature that disorder had created some kind of physical manifestations in the form of two annoying and small demon-self and angel-self.

"What the hell is wrong with you two? Why can't you two just get along... And maybe disappear from my life before I try to kill you or myself, whatever happens first,"

"Oh, please, we all know this would be nothing more than a waste of time and energy. We already tried a few times during our lifetime, remember?" The small demon-self shrugged and leaned herself against the very air as if in a couch and let herself float with the wind without a care in the world.

"Not ever since we came to this world," The angel, that actually does not looks like one, said with a hand on her chin and a thoughtful expression. "I wonder what would happen if we try to kill ourselves on this side of the mirror. Maybe something different might happen,"

"I really don't know if you are spending too much time with with Twilight or this is some kind of suicidal philosophy," Sunset grinned her teeth. Looks like this other self that looks exactly like her is not her good side but something far more bizarre. "Thanks goodness Twilight took Spike to see Fluttershy, I really hope she can't see you two. Because if she could..."

"I'm back," A very familiar voice spoke calmly, much to the despair of the red-haired girl. But unlike her, both her smaller selves assumed a predators grin and went floating just after the voice.

Sunset stared the door of the kitchen that leads to the main room for a few seconds trying to process what had just happened, and as soon as she did she followed them with absurd speed.

"Oh-la-la!" The demon smiled at the girl on the door but was soon hit aside by the running original.

"Hey, Twily, I didn't expect you back so soon," Sunset smiled nervously while leaning herself against the door's frame trying her best to hide her small inner demon by smashing it against the wall with her shoulder.

"Don't worry, I won't take long, I just wanted to bring Spike back from Fluttershy," Twilight smiled innocently. Apparently she could not see Sunset's small demon groaning and fighting for freedom which makes the girl sighed in relief for a second. "Right Spike?"

"Sure," The purple dog entered the apartment with a small toy in his mouth. A small toy that soon fell as his mouth went wide open in surprise as he stares Sunset smashing a small demon with very familiar features against the wall. "Oh my goodness, What was in that breed Fluttershy gave me? " He murmured while looking back and forth between Sunset, the demon, back to Sunset, then to Twilight, then to the small Sunset spying under Twilight's skirt then to... Wait a minute...

"Now, that's what I call some high quality thighs," She smiled mischievously. "Let's look just a little above," But before she could reach her objective a literal ball of fire hit her like a meteor and sent her flying away to the other side of the room with a very high pitched scream.

"SPIKE!" Twilight yelled scared. "What was that for?"

"I was just trying to kill an insect," Spike answered with a frown. "I just hope it hurt enough for it to get the message,"

"You set your toy on fire just to hit a fly?"

"Never in my entire life I have made such a worthy sacrifice," His voice was filled with determination.

Twilight could not help but feel confused. She never had seen this expression in Spikes's features before, except maybe when she dated Timber Spruce. "Riiight... I really have to go now, so please, do not burn the place,"

"Sure, have a nice day," Both Sunset and Spike awkwardly said at the same time. Twilight gave them one last suspicious glance before walking away and closing the door. Again, both Sunset and Spike let go a heavy sigh each, but that only lasted for a second before Spike assuming a very serious expression while pointing at the kitchen. "I want all Sunset Shimmers of the house on the kitchen, and for your own sake you better have a very good explanation,"

"BRING IT ON DOG, I WILL SHAVE YOUR BUTT!" The demon finally broke free and yelled back just a second before being hit by a wave of green flames and flying away to the kitchen.
