> The Drawbacks and Advantages of Combination > by zekromthepokemon > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue: A new disater begins. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Within the walls of the Castle of Friendship, Pinkie and Spike were hard at work reorganizing the books, due to Twilight having to pull them out in a frenzy for a huge project she was doing. “Thanks for helping me with organizing Pinkie,” Spike said as he shelved "Attack Spells for Dummies". “No prob Spike! I kinda have to due to the ... incident with the cookbooks.” She then threw a book in the air with her mouth and bucked it. Pinkie had (after a few months) gained the ability to buck books in their exact spots by using practice, and raw skill. Spike was quite proud. After Tirek had destroyed the first library, the first month of re-shelving the new library was a nightmare. In the second month, Pinkie had ruined all the cookbooks by accident and decided to help with the library to repay them for not charging her. After a few hours of work, the duo had finally finished. Spike sighed with exhaustion as a familiar, lavender alicorn came down the crystalline steps. She had a tired look on her face, eyes bloodshot, and a strange, stone box within her magical grasp. “I’m done,” she said as she sat the box down on the floor and fainted. Pinkie rushed over, her vigor not drained by the work. "Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Are you okay?” she yelled as she shook her friend. Spike smiled at Pinkie’s antics. He knew that Twilight always did that when she had to do something really difficult. Twilight’s eyes slowly opened and she looked up at her slightly worried pink friend. “I’m fine Pinkie, just let me sleep.” Her head then slammed back onto the floor. Pinkie Pie then looked at the stone box, her curiosity rising steadily. Spike quickly ran up to her and grabbed the stone box. “Don’t mess with this Pinkie.” “Aww, why not?” she whined. Spike gave her a serious look and she gazed at the ground, feeling bad. “I’ll just put this back in Twilight’s room,” he said sternly. The dragon hopped up the stairs and Pinkie Pie looked back up and had a smile, a mischievous and terrible smile. > Chapter 1: TwiPie's Beginning > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie Pie sat in her room at Sugarcube Corner, looking at the stone box. She had taken it when Spike fell asleep and now she was free, finally free... to open the box. Now that she had the box, she was unsure of if she should continue. What could lay in this box? Treasure? Dark Magic? The best cake recipe there is? The mare just didn’t know. She took a quick look out the window,observing the night. Suddenly, Pinkie’s curiosity couldn’t bear it anymore. Wildly, she ripped off the top of it, sending the top flying. She ignored the vase that was crushed by the top of the box. “What in the hoe-down is that?” she asked, confused at the contents of the box. Inside the box was a blank photograph, ripped across the middle with tape sadly holding it together. Pinkie carefully picked it up with her mouth. Suddenly, the left half of the photograph lit up. Yellow and blue balloons with pink behind them filled the side, flashing brightly. Pinkie let it go with shock. As soon as she did this, it returned to its regular, gray background. Pinkie cocked her head in bewilderment and put it back in the box, ignoring it changing back to her cutie mark. “I’ll just ask Twilight about it in the morning,” she said as she walked to her bed. Quickly, she drifted off to sleep. “Pinkie you what!” Twilight yelled. Pinkie recoiled slightly, meekly setting the box down upon the stone, library floor. “I just wanted to see what it was...” Pinkie muttered, sitting back on her flank. Twilight felt a little guilty. Even though Pinkie could be the most annoying pony in Equestria, she was a decent friend. “Alright, fine, I’ll tell you what it is,” Twilight said, regaining her composure. Pinkie immediately perked up. “Tell me!” she chittered excitedly. “Well, what it’s supposed to do is combine ponies together.” Pinkie listened intently. “I have been so excited to work on it ever since Celestia gave me the task. She said it was optional, but I said yes because I mean, just think about the possibilities! You remember how you had decided to clone yourself using that lake in the Everfree Forest, right?” Pinkie nodded. "Well, before the incident, I happened to be practicing a combination spell. I had a strange fascination with the spell and begin to research on it, but I was displeased when I found out how limited it was." Pinkie continued to listen silently. Twilight was a little perplexed on how interested and not bored Pinkie Pie was. She however, continued. "So, ever since, I had this on the back-burner, but I occasionally still wondered about how it would work on a larger scale. Now that I have finished this charm though, I am finally able to see all the-" Just then, Spike came running down the spiral staircase, interrupting them. When he reached the alicorn and earth pony he held his stomach and burped up a scroll, quickly grabbed by the alicorn's magic. “What-“ he burped again, “Does it say?” “War? With the Diamond Dogs?” Suddenly, Twilight grabbed the box causing it to immediately fall apart. Twilight then tried to pick up the photograph, noting to herself to use metal instead of stone next time. The second her muzzle touched it, it lit up. “Gosh darn,” the room then exploded with light. Spike shielded his eyes. When the light subsided, Spike opened his eyes and they nearly popped out of his purple head. What stood before him was one of the strangest things in the entirety of all history. The new pony that was there was a earth pony and had a purple coat, pink, Twilight style mane cut, pink Pinkie Pie tail, and her eyes, her horrible, horrible eyes. One was blue and one was purple. “Help!” Spike screamed, running out of the castle. “Who am I?” said the abomination. It was up in Twilight’s room, looking at the mirror. “Part of me is saying I’m a pony named Twilight. The other says Pinkie Pie...” Her voice had Twilight’s pitch and tone but Pinkie Pie’s speed. “I should go see Celestia,” she suggested to herself. “Wait, how am I supposed to do that without a horn?” The pony pondered on what to do. Nevertheless, couldn’t come up with anything. “I guess I could solve a different problem since I cannot think of a solution for this one,” she remarked. The problem instantly came and she instantly solved it. “I will call myself,” She cringed a little, “TwiPie.” Spike sat, frightened, on Rarity’s couch, slowly rocking back and forth recollecting what happened. “...and then they both disappeared in a flash of light and there was th-this creature in their place.” His eye twitched a little at the memory. Rarity looked at him with a confused expression. “Darling, are you sure that you haven’t been sniffing Twilight’s quills again?” Rarity offered. “No! It was real!” he shouted, hopping off the sofa. “Come on, I’ll show you!” he began pulling Rarity by the hoof. “Oh boy,” Rarity sighed. > Chapter 2: A visit to Celestia > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. > Chapter 3: The twist of the charm. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TwiPie was at Twilight’s Castle she was digging through a burlap sack. It was filled with Pinkie’s possessions. She had gone to sugarcube corner with Rarity earlier. She had made up a story about Pinkie borrowing some cake mix and was there to pick up the remains of it. Due to it being a busy day the cakes didn’t care and consented. While digging through the bag she found something. When she saw it she froze in her tracks. She dared not touch it. It was a photograph with Pinkie’s cutiemark. . She racked Twilight’s memory but, Twilight’s half did have an answer but, not a helpful one. “It’s a part of charm that Twilight never anticipated. It has unknown side effects due to Pinkie messing with it before Twilight could test its effect,” TwiPie morphed her tail to a wood plank. She had recently found that she can’t use magic unless her tail was morphed. She then picked up the object with her magic. Pinkiepie’s half then took hold and her curiosity caused her to immediately reach for and touch the photograph. “Why!?” there was then an explosion of light and there sat TwiPie completely unscaved. She realized that she had been surprisingly was unchanged. She looked into Twilight’s mirror. There staring back was the usual multicolored eyes and the pink Twilght mane cut, she checked both sides. Yep, they’re both still there, her unified mind. All intact. She then looked at the photograph. It was blank. No cutiemark. Nothing. She then hopped off the bed. “Must’ve been a coinced-“ she then saw at the foot of the bed was a uncounscious pink pony with a puffy mane and tail that were a darker shade of pink. “Crap” > Chapter 4: Leftovers? No thanks! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TwiPie facehoofed immediately. Pinkie's curiousity had screwed her over again. TwiPie yelled to Spike "Spike! Call Celestia!" she yelled. The princess of the sun arrived at the castle about 15 minutes later. Celestia was in Twilight's Room with TwiPie. Celestia calmly looked at her student/student's friend and said "Looks like you found a leffover," TwiPie looked at her still not understanding. "This leftover is a portion of Pinkie that wasn't used. From what I observed the photograph dosn't take two complete ponies and mush them together. It appears that it actually rips out a huge chunk of both subjects then it combines them," "How do know al this stuff?" "What? You think Twilight was the only pony to make magical objects that go horribly wrong?. Where do you think that book that Rarity used to destr-?" TwiPie interrupted "Can you just tell me what this leftover thing does?" "Fine, what this small chunk of Pinkie does is basically sleep," "Sleep?" TwiPie looked at the Pinkiepie. "You see since a chunk of her life force is in you she dosn't have that much energy so to conserve it she will just sleep," Celestia stated. "Nothing else?" "She might wake up occasionally and ask for food but, that's pretty much it. Due to her having pretty much no personality she'll probably not even have any preferences. You could probably put her in your closet, give her food when she's awake, and never tell anyone," "Why can't I tell anyone," TwiPie looked worriedly at the chink of inkie that was not within her. "No one except Spike and Rarity know about what you really are. It would just cause more commostion if people knew their party planner would just resort to a pink blob who eas and sleeps all day then I don't know what would happen." Celestia spread out her wings. "Best be going," she then flew off through a window hole type thing through the castle.and went off to Canterlot. TwiPie walked over to the Pinkiepie and shook her lightly. The Pinkiepie woke up and looked lazily at TwiPie. "Hi, Pinkie! I was just wondering if you wanted some cupcakes," she pulled her secret tray of cupcakes from under her bed and offered it to the fraction of a pony. The fraction quickly scarfed it down and began to drift back to sleep. When it did TwiPie then started to think. "I can't really call her Pinkiepie. I mean she is but, not enough to warrant that name," she pondered and then a light bulb finally came upon her. "Minkie! That's a perfect name. It's like Mini and Pinkie!" Minie then threw a pillow at her. Probably trying to tell her to that she's making too much noise. TwiPie then noticed something about Minkie.For some reason one of her front left hoof was a gray hue. She just assumed it had something due with being only a small part of Pinkie. The next morning TwiPie woke up with Minkie at the foot of her bed. She carefully got up trying to make sure she didn't wake the other. TwiPie then trotted down to the kitchenette. Spike was downstairs making pancakes. "Anything happen while I was gone?" Spike asked as he stirred the batter. TwiPie then remembered that he actually spent the night at Rarity's yesterday helping with late night projects. "Nope," she lied. "Alright," he then began to pour the mix and he and TwiPie had a light conversation about food. When the pancakes were done TwiPie took her stack and nonchalently went up to her bedroom. Minkie was actually awake. Minkie looked absentmindly at TwiPie then began to stare at the Pancakes. "These aren't all for you ya know," she then gave three pancakes off the plate to her incomplete companion and watched as the food disappeared within seconds of reaching the mare's mouth. "I hope this dosn't get any crazier," > Chapter 5: LET"S GET READY TO RUMMMMMMMBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TwiPie was pacing around the main throne room. Spike sat on the floor. “Spike I don’t think I can do this,” she stated nervously.               “TwiPie their already coming,” he said.               “Can’t we just cancel it and eat some cupcakes alone!?”               “No,” he answered. TwiPie looked sadly at the ground.               “Why can’t I just get rid of this anxiety?” she asked looking at Spike.               “Well, what Twilight used to do was to breath and start thinking about the situation,” TwiPie did as recommended and started to feel better.               “I’m not as nervous but, I still have this over looming sense of doom,” Spike rolled his eyes.               “Why’re you so much like Twilight?” Spike pondered               “Huh?”               “Despite that ‘Spikey-Wikey-Tikey’ thing, impulsive curiousity, how you talk, and your appetite you barely act like Pinkie,” he laughed a little at the Spike-Wikey-Tikey part  of his sentence.               “I don’t know . . .”               They then both heard a clopping of white hooves approaching.               “Hello darlings! The others are outside waiting,” Rarity said cutting their conversation short.               “I’ll be out there in a minute” TwiPie said. Rarity trotted away.                        “It’s time,” Spike gestured toward the two doors               TwiPie slowly walked to the double doors. “Aren’t you coming with me?” “Naw, I’m not really in the mood for screaming or crying today so I’m just gonna go take a nap. Spike got up and sped upstairs to his bed. “Go in the guest room!” “Again? WHY?!” Spike asked stopping “Just do it, please,” she hated to make him sleep somewhere else but, she hadn’t gotten to move Minkie to the closet yet. “Fine . . .” He then began to sprint once more up the stairs TwiPie sighed. She went to open the doors. When she did there stood Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash.               “Alright who the heck are you?” RD said flying up a two feet and pointing a hoof at TwiPie.               ‘I’m TwiPie and I am the reason you haven’t been seeing Pinkiepie and Twilight lately,” Everyone (not including Rarity) were shocked. Rainbow’s shock then turned to rage.               “How could you . . .” she said under her breath.               “Wait! Rainbow!” Rarity ran to stop Rainbow but, a streak of Rainbow quickly went right past her. A smacking sound and a loud thump was heard. When the others looked to see what happened. TwiPie soared through the hall and hit square in one of throne, with her head connecting first. She then fell off the throne sprawled on the ground. The others watched in shock. They’ve have never not even once seen Rainbow actually throw a punch and hit with such extreme force. TwiPie looked up and saw Rainbow standing above her. “You’re going to pay liar,” Rainbow said. “Rainbow, I didn-“Rainbow then stepped on her back “OOOWWW!!!!” and continued to put more pressure on her back. “Just let me ex-“Rainbow then stepped harder “OOOOWWWWWW!!!!!” “I-“Rainbow then pressed on her back even harder “OOOOOOOOWWWW!!!!” TwiPie then became quiet. “Rainbow that’s quite enough!” The three others were standing a few feet from Rainbow. “Ah, don’t know what happened to Twi and Pinkie but, you can’t attack this mare. Let her tell us what happened first,” Applejack uttered. “Fine, but if she killed them then I’m killing her deal?” Rainbow then took her hoof back off TwiPie. “Well, work out the details let’s just hear what she has to say,” Rarity then helped up TwiPie. “Okay, you guys all need to sit down for this,” They all (not including TwiPie) hopped onto their respective thrones. “I am both Twilight and Pinkie. you see . . .” she explained everything (excluding Minkie). “Okay, that’s pretty weird,” Rainbow announced. Everyone nodded in agreement. “BTW sorry about trying to hurt you earlier,” “It’s alright but, I would’ve kicked your butt anyway,” TwiPie said. “Is that a challenge?” Rainbow asked her eyes getting serious. “No, I’m just saying if I were trying to hurt you I would’ve wiped the floor with you,” “Oh yeah? Well, I bet that I could!” Rainbow jumped out of her throne. “Applejack back me up on this,” “Ah ain’t gettin’ involved in this,”         “Fluttershy? Rainbow questioned.         “Umm . . . Well, I uhhhh . . .”        “Rarity?” Rainbow inquired.         “Rainbow are you sure? I mean, she does have this special tail magic that could very well . . . how did she put it? Wipe the floor with you,”         “Magic smagic! Outside. You and me. NOW! AJ you’re the ref!” Rainbow flew outside. Rarity looked worried.         "Oh no! That was my fault wasn’t! I’ll get this sorted out right now!” Rairty hopped off her throne and was about to go outside but, TwiPie stopped her. “I got this Rarity,” TwiPie walked outside. Applejack shrugged and walked outside. Rarity sighed and followed.                “Alright, since this is a path rules match there are no rules except there is no killing. You lose if you become decommissioned in anyway such as unconsciousness. Other than that anything goes.” AJ stepped back “3, 2, 1, BEGIN!” the two began circling each other. TwiPie’s tail began to shake.          “Awww, the wittle two-pony is scaaared,” Rainbow mocked. The tail then shifted to a bat that was a little bigger then Rainbow Dash. Rainbow didn’t even flinch. “Tail shifting powers? Pfft!” Rainbow then flew toward her. TwiPie turned so that her side was facing Rainbow Dash. She then held her tail-bat and swung. Rainbow flew through the air dazed. When she snapped back to reality. She then realized she was starting to descent and started flapping her wings. When she was stabilized she looked toward the ground at TwiPie. The unified mare was smirking at RD. “I’ll show her!” Rainbow  began to speed toward her again but, when Rainbow got close she saw it this time and flew out of the way of the bat and grabbed TwiPie by the bat and slowly ascended. “Just give up right now and I won’t show you the clouds,” Rainbow threatened               “Fine by me,” TwiPie chortled               “You won’t be laughing when you get up,”                              They were now up to the clouds. “Give up-” Rainbow panted  “now?”               “No, I’m fine,” TwiPie then changed her tail back to normal and began to fall. Rainbow’s eyes widened in horror.               “Without wings she’ll go splat and the girls’ll blame me for it!” Before Rainbow could fly after her TwiPie’s tail began to shake again and her tail changed to a metal rod. then two iron blades popped out from the rod. The two blades began to spin and spin until TwiPie stopped falling. TwiPie was now hovering in the air. Rainbow flew down to the level TwiPie was at.               “How the-” “It’s what we magical abominations do,” TwiPie then began to fly over to the Castle. Rainbow smirked. Although she could fly she was still not fast enough. Rainbow flew right in front of her and threw a punch. It hit TwiPie right on her left cheek. Rainbow then threw another and TwiPie go hit in the right cheek. The pink haired mare gritted her teeth. She didn’t want to say ow or say anything about how much those last blows hurt. TwiPie then tried to throw a punch but, Rainbow just dodged.               “You think that you can hit me?”               “I did before,”               “Well, that was differ-“ TwiPie then hit her in the stomach while she was talking.               “Cheap . . . shot,” Rainbow choked. TwiPie flew past her and onto a castle balcony. When Rainbow caught her breath. She then charged at TwiPie. When she was feet away from TwiPie the unified pony sidestepped and Rainbow crashed face-first onto the crystalline castle. Rainbow slowly began to lose consciousness and right before she conked out she heard two words from TwiPie “I won,” > Chapter 6: I can't think of clever name soooooo I'll just say . . . Really looking forward to Chapter 7 aren't you? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Mane Six (or five or . . . whatever) were walking  away from the hospital. “Ah, still can’t believe you won TwiPie,” “Yeah, but, I think I went too far,” TwiPie looked over at Rainbow Dash. Rainbow had many,  many bandages on her face. “It’s alright TwiPie you don’t have to be modest just because I got hurt,” “Oh, okay.” TwiPie then  jumped five feet in the air and shifted her tail into a huge bunch of balloons. “YAAAA-HOOOO!” she then landed and changed her tail to normal.\They all stared for a second in bewilderment. “I’m part Pinkie remember?” they all said “Ooooh,” in unison Meanwhile at the Castle of the Sun. Celestia was at her throne. She was a holding a piece paper and a quill within her magic and was writing something. Luna then walked in. “Sister, you called?” Luna asked. “Yes, I need your opinion on something,” Celestia replied smiling. “Do you want Twilight to be combined with Pinkie or do you want them to be separate?” Celestia inquired still writing on the paper. “I like Twilight but, Pinkie is too rambunctious Celestia. Why has thou asked me such a strange question?” Luna asked. “Well . . .” Celestia looked away from her sister smirking. Lunashook her head. “Just tell me,” “I will . . . but, you have tooooo . . . talk regularly,” “Sister! I am not playing your games just tell me!” Luna demanded stomping a hoof down. “Fine, but you are going to talk normal someday. Anyway, you see there's this pony named TwiPie and she is in Ponyville,” “And?” Luna asked. “That’s all I’m telling you!” Celestia then ran out the throne room dropping the piece of paper. Luna was annoyed however, she was intrigued by what Celestia had said. Luna then picked up the paper with her magic. It was a pros and cons list of sorts and things were written on it like “Pro: TwiPie’s tail power is cool beans!” or “Con: Eats too many cupcakes. Luna then dropped the paper and set out to Ponyville. TwiPie was in Twilight’s Room she was currently trying to wake up Minkie “Come on Mnkie you have to eat!” TwiPie pleaded shaking . Minkie. Minkie groaned and opened her mouth. TwiPie smiled and gave her some small praise. “Can I come in now TwiPie?” Spike asked from outside the room. “No, not yet,” “It takes that long to chat with your imaginary friends?” “Yes, I mean, no, JUST GO DOWNSTAIRS AND I’LL TELL YOU WHEN YOU CAN COME BACK UP!” TwiPie exploded. Minkie fell off the bed startled by the outburst. A clicking of dragon heels could be heard running away hurriedly away from the door. TwiPie the pulled Minkie back onto the bed. Minkie had returned to her lazy eyed self and reopened her mouth. TwiPie then pulled what was left of her cupcake stash and gave Minkie a few. Minkie was about to doze off again but, TwiPie began pulling her into the closet. When Minkie was inside TwiPie closed it. TwiPie then opened the door and trotted downstairs. When her hooves hit the the last step she looked around the throne room. Spike wasn’t there.         “Spike! You can go to the room now!’ she yelled. Spike came from the Library with a comic book to his nose.         “Thanks,” he mumbled as he hopped upstairs.         “Now, what should I do?” she thought aloud. She looked toward the library and Twilight’s memories of books flushed through her mind. She walked to the library. “What kind of book should I get . . .” TwiPie pondered. “I guess I could read up on life-force. Mayhaps their have been other fractionals. Is that a good name? Anyway, there might have been since Celestia knew exactly what Minkie.was. She looked through the books and found one. “The Strange Phenomenon of Life Forces and The Historical Events from It,” After an hour of reading she found something peculiar. It was a borrowed article that was about creatures with incomplete life forces. It read. Recently at Magica University professors were experimenting on life force. They took 13% of life force from a pony and put it into a mannequin. The mannequin, unsurprisingly came to life but, due to it’s \low life force it did little of much. It ate and slept but, when they took a dragon claw and  infused magic into it and gave it to the mannequin it did the same thing however, when some idiot poked it with a sharp stick and it bled slightly it immediately killed him using firebreath. They conducted other tests with other creatures and whenever they gave the mannequin a new “morphtem” as they called it the subject immediately loss the other traits of the previous creature , When they changed the “morphtem” to a pony part nonetheless, the mannequin changed to normal. They conducted more tests and noticed that when adding more life force during morphtems the effects became more potent and added more personitality to the mannequin, with even more observation it was discovered that during “morphed” states the personality changed slightly, for example the dragon personality added more confidence and less modesty during the state of being “dragon-morphed” or being more sassy and independent during the state of being “cat-morphed. The study of the mannequin abruptly  ended when Rarity of the Carousel Boutique asked for her mannequin back. They reverted the effects and she got it back.”  The chapter then ended.         “Rarity? When was this article published?” TwiPie looked at the date. “Two years ago?” TwiPie then heard a knocking on the door. She recoiled in terror. She didn’t have anyone to be here today. She definitely couldn’t let a civilian  in because the newspaper was already reporting on Pinkie’s and TwiPie disappearance. She ignored it hoping the visitor would go away. The visitor knocked even harder and she heard a familiar booming voice “Twilight Sparkle! Do you know who this Twipie is?”          > Chapter 7: Luna > --------------------------------------------------------------------------         Twipie ran behind a bookshelf and trembled. “Twilight’s not here? Well, maybe that dragon might know who TwiPie is,” TwiPie then heard a sound of spell getting cast. The Twilight half knew it well, a teleportation spell. She began to panic. Sweat beaded down her forehead.         Luna looked around the castle throne room. She marvelled at the palace. It’s splendor was magnificent and, she felt a little jealous since she didn’t even have one of her own. She had some guards, a carriage, and complete control of the moon. Luna only had a guest room with Celestia’s castle. she shook her head trying to ignore the splendor of the structure.         “The dragon must be within this place,” She then walked in the library. TwiPie heard the clopping of the princess’s hooves. She trembled even more making the shelf vibrate slightly. Luna’s head craned toward the moving bookshelf. It was hard to ignore especially since books were slamming onto the floor. Luna cast a spell that was unknown to TwiPie. “Reveal Yourself!’ Luna yelled. TwiPie didn’t move. Luna angrily walked around toward the end of the bookshelf TwiPie  recoiled back into the darker part of the shelf but, Lun saw her moving and began to pull her using magic. Luna then pulled her completely out from behind the shelf. TwiPie wanted to run but, couldn’t. luna got a full look at her. The discolored eyes and the strange resemblance to Pinkie and Twilight. TwiPie then remembered something that Celestia taught Twilight when she gave her the Attack Spells for Dummies book two months after the defeat of tirek. She morphed her tail into some propellers similiar to the previous ones and concentrated as the propellers began to glow.. ‘What in Equestria . . .” The magic around TwiPie then turned purple and  and so did the magic on Luna’s horn. The Magic then dispersed on both TwiPie and Luna’s horn. “AAAHHHHH,” Luna cried in agony. TwiPie ran off. severe pain was rushing through Luna’s horn. TwiPie flew up the stairs using her propellers. When the pain subsided Luna ran after her. “Come back here foul beast!” she yelled. TwiPie said nothing as she flew down the the upstairs hallway. She saw the balcony coming up ahead. When she reached it she flew right off into the air. Luna stopped at the balcony. TwiPie began to speed away from the castle but, she had forgotten one thing. Luna had wings. TwiPie looked behind her and saw Luna trailing her at a quick pace. TwiPie tried to go faster but, it seemed Luna hadn’t gotten farther away from her at all. “Land right now or I’ll have to shoot you down!” Luna yelled. TwiPie still kept going.Luna became frustrated. “I guess I have to,”  She then shot a magic blast that was probably three times TwiPie size. She nearly missed however, she didn’t. She hit one of TwiPie’s propellers. TwiPie felt a pain. “She looked back and saw that one of her propellers had singed off. She gritted her teeth trying to contain the cry of affliction. She began to descend and thought she was a goner. Suddenly she heard the sound of something akin to liquid metal. She turned around and saw that the propeller was back to how it was before. The pain was still there though. “Land! Or, next time it might be a leg that gets burned off!” TwiPie thought about it for a moment> She knew that if she started in retaliation the princess of the night harm her fatally. She then stopped the propellers and quickly changed her tail to a parachute. She slowly drifted down. Luna saw that she was surrendering and started flying at TwiPie’s level. “Since, you are finally complying your sentence of home invasion and resist of arrest will be slightly lesser,” Luna stated. They then landed on the ground. “LOOK IT’S LUNA!” yelled at a civilian. A crowd of ponies surrounded her and TwiPie tried to silently stalk away but, Luna flew up from the entourage. “Stop. Moving. Criminal,” TwiPie hung her head.         TwiPie was in court, Royal Court to be exact and she was waiting for Celestia to come and clear this up.         “When will that womanchild, get here?” Luna groaned in her moon shaped chair.         “She’ll be here soon,” Cadence said cheerfully in her heart shaped chair. The white alicorn they were looking for walked in. she looked at TwiPie and smiled one of her stupid childish smiles.         She sat down benevolently in her sun shaped chair.         “Sister! Pray tell why you were so late!” Luna barked.         “Stop being such a sourpuss little sister,” Celestia replied. Luna sighed. “Anyway this trial is invalid,” both Cadence and Luna looked at her confused.         “But-”         “Luna I have the highest chair here and I have the power to say this,” she pointed her hoof at her slightly taller chair. Luna pouted and crossed her arms angrily.         “I know TwiPie and the reason she evaded your confrontation because you would have your brain explode if she told you what she was,” “What is she then? Luna inquired. ‘A mix of Twilight and Pinkie. BTW they’re both gone” Cadence and Luna looked at her in shock again “My only friend!” cried Luna. “My sister in law!” cried Cadence.. TwiPie looked at the sadness. She felt bad but, not bad enough to console them. TwiPie was surprised that Twilight’s and Pinkie’s really close friends weren’t crying their eyes out, yet these two princesses burst into tears. She walked out the room waving to Celestia who waved back.   > Chapter 8: Feels > --------------------------------------------------------------------------         TwiPie looked at Minkie, assessing her.They were in the castle basement. TwiPie had Minkie sleeping on a metal table,.  “Hmmm . . .: Minkie was still asleep. TwiPie then turned her tail into a dragon claw and touched Minkie. Minkie   then glowed. She opened her eyes slightly but, was unfazed. A brilliant light then cascaded the room. TwiPie opened her eyes and Minkie was asleep. although there was one thing different about her. When she snored smoke came out of her nostrils. TwiPie smiled with delight. The book told her exactly how to do it! “How can I test out her fire-breath though. The thing no emotions just directives. Eat and then sleep. She sighed but, then got an idea. She ran up the stairs and came back down with the book. She flipped through it. She then found what she was looking for. It was a chapter about transference of life force. She read for awhile not caring about the time. She had nothing else to do. She then closed book knowing what to do. She had to find something to get life  force from but, didn’t have the heart to harm another being. Plants? No, then she’d be even more a vegetable. Timber wolves? No, she’d be too animal-like. Rocks? Now, No, they don’t have any. “WHY IS IT SO HARD!?” she yelled. Minkie awoke and stared at TwiPie for a few seconds then slowly closed them.  “Wait! before you go back to sleep can you just do one thing?” Minkie looked at TwiPie as if she wasn’t there. Minkie opened her mouth. “No, I mean breath-” Fire then erupted from Minkie’s mouth searing of the top of TwiPie mane. TwiPie coughed slightly. “Oh my . . . That was . . . unexpected she then slowly walked up the stairs trying ignore the blistering pain of  third degree burns on her ears. After TwiPie got treated for the burns she left Minkie down in the basement to sleep.She then caught a train to Canterlot. She couldn’t let Spike know about Minkie so, she couldn’t send a letter. The train ride wasn’t the least bit of interesting. She hopped off the train and after the 15 minute walk to the Castle she looked up at the guards and said. “I need to Celestia on behalf on the scientific findings I have discovered. “What’s your name?” they asked “TwiPie,” the guards looked t one another. She noticed that a smile crept on one of their faces. They told her to wait and the one with the smile trotted to the drawbridge and gave a signal. It then lowered and when he reached the other side TwiPie could hear his faint laughing. She knew he was laughing at her name. “Why didn’t you laugh?” “I don’t laugh,” he said coldly. A few minutes passed and the one that was smiling came back. “Come with me,” he said his composure regained.         The throne room was silent filled with mystery as TwiPie and the guard walked in. The guard walked out leaving TwiPie with Celestia.          What did you find out TwiPie?” Celestia asked smiling. “Well, I was studying life forces and I found out that Minkie can actually altered in different ways,” TwiPie gushed excitedly. “The Manne-Life Project?” Celestia asked. “Yeah . . . how did you know?” TwiPie followed up. Celestia gave her a confident look and flew from her throne to in front of TwiPie. TwiPie stepped away but, Celestia got in her face. “I’m the ruler! That’s why!” she then recoiled and laughed. “Anyhow, do you know where I can find life-force?” TwiPie asked. Celestia’s fur became an even paler white. “Life force can’t exactly be created TwiPie . . .” “Yeah, I know but, do you know where I can get some without hurting anypony?” she asked. “No” Celestia said relieved. TwiPie got disappointed. “Thanks for telling me,” TwiPie slowly walked out. “You’ll get over it!” Celestia said trying to be supportive. “No, I won’t” Twipie said stopping. “It’s not like it’s the end of the world TwiPie we all want to have our own super-dragon pony but, it’s not always going to fulfilled. “That’s not why . . . “ TwiPie mumbled. Celestia walked next to her and saw tears brimming in TwiPie’s eyes. “Then why is it then?”  Celestia said rubbing her back. “I don’t have friends . . . I can’t be friends with the former friends of the two mares who are me because they're not my friends. Now, that I know there is not going to be any other ponies like me that can actually function. The others may be buddy-buddy but, it'll never be the same as before I was here,” tears dripped down and her voice was starting to crack. Celestia didn’t really know what to say. What to do. What to feel. Celestia dropped down to her “knees” and slowly rubbed her hooves a cross TwiPie's back for what felt like hours. TwiPie sobbed loudly. Eventually TwiPie pulled away from Celestia out of tears. The Sun princess watched as the mare left, wishing she could help. > Chapter 8: I planned the feels the whole time! You'll see why . . . > --------------------------------------------------------------------------         TwiPie sighed. The tear stains still felt fresh on her face as she walked to Twilight’s Castle. She opened the door to find the Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Spike were there. “What’re you guys doing here? Shouldn’t you be in bed Spike?” she asked.         “Well, sugarcube we all came here because we want to tell ya that we’re here for you and you can talk to us about anything,” Everyone nodded. TwiPie looked at them with an expression that was a combination of annoyance and disappointment. TwiPie hung her head as she said  “Celestia sent you here because of my breakdown didn’t she,” “No, she just told us that you had a long cry with her a few hours ago. She didn’t say for us to do anything darling,” Rarity replied “Look, I know you all feel guilty but, it’s fine I’ll make friends eventually okay?” she reassured them. They all looked at each other. She had saw right through them. “ “If that’s how ya feel then TwiPie. We’ll try not to fake it then,” AJ said. “Good, if any of us want to be friends it’s natural alright?” They all agreed and the mares left. Spike sat on the floor. “I’m still unsure  how I should treat you,” he scratched the back of his head nervously. “You’ll find out tomorrow,” she answered. “Okay . . . “ he replied still confused.         The next morning TwiPie woke up she tried to recollect what happened yesterday. She immediately blotted out the images when she thought of them. She then hopped out the bed. She knew that from that point on she didn’t really want to be associated with being Twilight or Pinkiepie. She just wanted to be her. TwiPie then went down to the basement, started pulling Minkie out from the basement. She then loaded Minkie up to a cart that outside the castle and went to the train station. She told the ticket seller that Minkie had a disease that only allowed her to be awake for short intervals of time. They believed her. She then bought the tickets using a small part of Twilight’s earning as a princess. climbed on the train with Minkie being wheeled off to a special needs part of the train and she sat in the passenger car. She didn’t listen when the ticket seller told her where the ticket took her. She just sat back on her leather seat and waited for the new adventure to come.
