Twi Pie was pacing around Twilight’s Bedroom not knowing what to do. She couldn’t go outside because of her eyes, couldn’t go to Pinkie’s and Twilight’s friends because they would be too frightened, and Twilight had forgotten to make a counter charm to reverse the effects of the object. “Okay I’m TwiPie. I’m the combined two psyches and bodies of two ponies named Twilight and Pinkiepie. I know one dragon named Spike and four other ponies. My interest are partying, studying, being fun all the time, reading books all the time, and being the best friend there possibly is! Wow, that’s surprisingly conflicting,” TwiPie thought. She then heard the ramblings of a certain friend of hers 
“Rarity she’s in here! I promise I’m not lying!” Spike shouted.  
“Oh, no! I don’t know if I should jump up at them with an overly happy outburst or calmly walk up to them with a calm hello! Maybe I should-“She then saw Spike in the doorway and uncontrollably walked calmly up to them and yelled “Hi guys!” Rarity looked bewildered at the new pony. Now knowing that what Spike said was true a fainting pouch appeared from . . . somewhere and she fell right on it. “Wait, I know why Rarity just fainted but, why did I just do that I didn’t even mean to,” A voice then came over in her mind “Well, silly! You see your mind hasn’t been fully merged yet and you’re still thinking like Twilight! Soon you’re going to be thinking lot more Pinkiepie-ish and so you’re going to have iron out a few bugs on the way to perfect combination!” TwiPie wondered why so much exposition was just pumped in but, quickly discard the thought and began trying to adjust to the situation at hand. 
“Don’t hurt me,” Spike trembled with fear. A burst of Pinkiepie quickly went through the mare. 
“It’s okay Spikey-Wikey-Tikey! TwiPie is here,” she said attempting to perk him up.  Spike opened his eyes seeing that she wasn’t getting ready to gobble him up.
“Why haven’t you hurting me yet?” he asked. Twilight then went through TwiPie
“Oh, Spike why I would eat you? Just because Twilight disappeared doesn’t mean I’m going to get rid of you!” she said rubbing his head.
“Ummm, TwiPie,” Spike questioned. 
“Yes Spike?” TwiPie replied
“Can you explain to me what happened,” he asked. Twilight nodded and explained the whole convoluted mess.  “Okay, now we have to wake up Rarity to tell her he said. Spike went over to Rarity and lightly shook her. 
“Ugh, Spike I had the nost horrible dream. There was this strange mismatched pony who bared a striking resemblance to Pinkiepie and Twilight and-“, Rarity saw TwiPie again looked at her in shock (again). “I-It was real . . .” Rarity just stood there. The situation was just too much to bear. Then Rarity decided to come to a logical conclusion “She’s probably just some special needs pony like Derpy and doesn’t have anything to do with Twilight or Pinkiepie,” Rarity thought. ‘Hello I’m Rarity. Pray tell what business do you have in the castle?” Rarity asked struggling to maintain her composure. 
“Well, basically what happened was,” TwiPie then explained.
“So, we lost Twilight and Pinkie forever?” Rarity queried with despair in her voice.
“Not, exactly but, let’s just say I might be here for awhile,” TwiPie then gave one of Twilight’s signature “everything’s okay” smiles.
“Maybe Celestia can help.  Spike will you take a letter?” Rarity pointed her hoof toward the parchment on Twilight’s Desk. Spike scurried over and picked both the parchment and a quill off the desk. 
“Dear Princess Celestia. The charm that you asked Twilight to make has backfired. It has combined both Twilight and Pinkiepie. We need to have them separated and require your help because we have not the slightest clue to solve this problem signed Rarity and Spike,” Spike then sent the letter.
“Now we-“Spike held his stomach and he burped out a letter in the usual fashion. It read “That’s quite a predicament. Luckily, I’m able to attend to it since the diamond dogs surrendered when we threated to flood their tunnels. Anyway I have some tea, cupcakes, and gems being prepared so we can talk this over,” 
Sometime in the afternoon the TwiPie was inhaling cupcakes, Spike was inhaling gems and Rarity was the only one actually talking to the princess. “Do you know where all her alicorn magic went?” Celestia investigated. 
“Nope,” Rarity replied.
“Guess I have to see,” Celestia groaned. “TwiPie?” TwiPie looked up from her 6th plate of cupcakes.
“I’m going to have to see where your magic went so this might hurt a little,” Celestia then grabbed TwiPie with her magic. TwiPie frantically looked around not being able to move. Magic then shot through TwiPie’s body. It hurt, like really bad. When Celestia stopped TwiPie had a sick look on her face. “TwiPie’s magic has seemed to gather into an unusual place within her body,” Celestia remarked. 
“Where?” Rarity asked.
“Her . . . tail,” Celestia looked as if she was about burst out laughing. “TwiPie try to focus on your tail and when you do think of swords. Everyone might want to take a step or two from her,” Celestia warned. TwiPie closed her eyes. Suddenly her tail began to shake and begin to turn gray and then a sound as if a metal plate was being shook was heard. Her tail then became a sword. 
“Wow,” Everyone but, the sun princess said in unison. TwiPie then closed her eyes again. The sword then made another metallic sound and it began to get thinner and thinner and thinner till it was gray string. A popping sound was then audible as a helium filled balloon appeared on the end of the string. Celestia smiled. “It also has all the functionality of a horn. Try it,” she said. TwiPie closed her eyes and the balloon began to glow. She then teleported beside Celestia. 
“This s so cool princess!  How did you know?” 
“Well, horns are limited to only spells but, if you use a different part of body to use magic then you gain more abilities. Like how discord uses his fingers. That’s how he can shapeshift,”
“Wait, do I have other abilities?” TwiPie asked excitedly. 
“I don’t know however, if you do discover any notify me,”
“I will but, how are we supposed to get me separated?” she asked
“All in time my little pony. All in time,” Celestia said.
