//------------------------------// // Post-Series Special 11: The Second Ascension (Live Action) // Story: Unpleasant Correspondence // by StormLuna //------------------------------// Two days had passed and in Ponyville, Twilight was very upbeat when she rose. After receiving her last set of letters from Starlight and the letter from Celestia, she knew that the time had come that she had been hoping for for so long, being ascended to a higher level and not too long after, taking over Equestria alongside her sister. Despite being so happy, she had done a good job of hiding things from her friends and even Spike because she knew that some of her plans would not receive positive reactions. For the first time in as long as he could remember, Spike saw Twilight with a huge smile on her face. He asked, "Twilight, why are you so happy? I haven't seen you this happy since you were a filly!" Twilight joyfully replied, "Is it a crime for me to be happy?" She then had to come up with a good lie, "I'm happy because Equestria is stable and it seems as though all the evil villains have been either reformed or turned to stone." Spike was having a hard time believing him, "Uh-huh, sure." He then saw Twilight rushing towards the door and continued, "Twilight, where are you going? Aren't we going to have breakfast?" Twilight did not pay any attention to him and immediately took off towards Canterlot. While she did still harbor some hatred towards Celestia, she was excited to go because she knew that Starlight would give her the powers she rightfully deserved and then after that, a huge double coronation for not just her but the one pony she cared about the most, her sister, Starlight Glimmer. After twenty minutes of flying, she arrived in Canterlot and headed straight to the palace. Given that she was a princess, the guards let her pass without question and she immediately rushed to the throne room where she was greeted warmly by Celestia, "Twilight, it is so good to see you!" Starlight also greeted her, "Twilight, are you ready for today?" Starlight got down on her knees, spread her wings wide and Twilight immediately rushed to her. They embraced and Twilight replied, "You bet I am! So when will we be doing this?" Starlight replied, "Whenever you're ready Twilight, whenever you're ready." Twilight asked, "Well then, can we do it now?" Starlight replied, "Of course!" The two headed into the center of the throne room so Starlight could cast the spell. Starlight was very nervous about this as the spell even took a lot out of Thundercloud and he was thousands of years old while she hadn't been a goddess-tier Alicorn but for a few days. She grabbed Twilight in her aura, began to focus on transforming Twilight and her eyes began to shine white. Very quickly the two became encircled in a bright white ball. As Twilight began to feel energy seeping into her, she was becoming ecstatic. She knew that soon her time of having the powers that she believed she should have had years ago was finally about to arrive. For Starlight, despite having infinite powers, the spell was taking a toll on her. Her head was beginning to ache and she was becoming fatigued. One part of her wanted to stop the spell but the more dominant part of her wanted to make her beloved sister happy and have her have the level of powers that she did. Unlike it was with Thundercloud, it took several hours for the spell to be completed. It was a bit after noon when the ball finally popped and out of it emerged not one large Alicorn but two. Twilight stood tall and spread her much larger wings with a huge smile on her face. That smile would disappear though when her sister wound up collapsing on the floor. Twilight immediately rushed to her and screamed, "Starlight!" When she knelt down by her, Twilight saw that Starlight was drained and had bags under her eyes. She asked, "Starlight, are you ok?" Starlight let out a groan, "Yeah, I just need some rest, more like a lot of rest." When Celestia heard this she ordered, "Twilight, let's get her to bed. She is going to need plenty of rest so she'll be alert when we plan the coronation." Twilight helped Starlight up and said, "Let's get you to bed. You're going to need rest so we can plan our coronation." Starlight nodded and the two headed towards the bedroom Starlight had been staying in since her arrival in Canterlot. Once Twilight got her laid down, she sat next to Starlight and grabbed her hoof. She had some tears rolling down her face as she began to sob, "I'm sorry Starlight. I'm sorry this took so much out of you." Starlight gave her a weak smile, "It's alright Twilight. Once I get some rest, I'll be fine." Her smile became bigger as she continued, "You know something sister, both of us have infinite powers now! Soon we will have our coronation and we can rule Equestria OUR way and there will be nopony that can stop us!" Twilight could tell that Starlight was already starting to feel better and snickered, "So think our longer horns will be more sensitive?" Starlight laughed, "Well we'll find out on our coronation night now won't we?" Starlight then let out a yawn, "Well I'm going to try and get some rest now." "Alright Starlight, sweet dreams." replied Twilight. As Starlight laid there and eventually fell asleep, Twilight sat there holding onto her hoof with a smile on her face. She was admittedly happy that now she possessed the same powers that her sister did but other things began to cross her mind, things such as ruling together but most importantly to her, all the new ways they can please one another with their much larger bodies.
