When Starlight Glimmer came to, the first thing she saw her mentor lying unconscious against a crystal wall in darkness. Lighting her horn and rushing to her side, Starlight attempted to shake her awake. This action was paused only momentarily as Starlight heard a sound from across the room, the sight she beheld only causing her to redouble her efforts with vigor. A shadowy figure moved in the darkness.

Moonsparkle groaned as she came to, the floor she was on felt like a ground dwelling and not the cloud floor of her Aunt (honorary) Rainbow Dash's aerial acrobatics school. What the hay did those colts put in the punch this time? It even feels like one of those fat-flanks is laying on me! As she struggle to get up, and out from whoever was on top of her, Moonsparkle noticed that the surroundings in the darkness were A) reminiscent of her mothers' home and B) were faintly lit by a source on the other side of the table in front of her.

Sunrise Blitz felt something warm, but lumpy, wriggle underneath her. Being jostled thus didn't help the headache she was developing. Ugh, how hard did I party? Well guess I can't complain too much, it isn't everyday that you get to graduate from Celestia school for Gifted Unicorns. But I should probably get up before either of my mom's see me. Opening her eyes showed her surroundings to be dark so she lit her horn, revealing herself to be lying a top a strange pegasus-mare who was apparently trying to get out from under her. "Sorry." She apologized to the other mare as she quickly clambered off her. Looking around Sunrise felt a chill in her gut as she recognized her mother's (the Princess one) throne/council room. Um... oops?

Twilight was slowly rousing from somepony shaking her, and realized that A) Starlight had been trying to waken her, and was staring at something across the dark room; and B) that with a glance out a nearby window that the reason it was dark was because it was apparently night. Casting a quick spell to turn on the recessed glowstones in the room, Twilight looked at what Starlight was staring at (less frightened by now) and saw a pair of young strange mares staring back at her in confusion (and in one case awe.)
Moonsparkle looked at the two mares across from her (ignoring the one beside her for now). She didn't know who the violet colored one was, but the other... oh she was familiar accept for one thing.... "Mother? When did you ascend? Does Mom know? Where is she?" Pausing because another difference became apparent, Moonsparkle procede in more volume, "Who is this mare? And where is your wedding ring?!"
Sunrise stared at her mother in shock; her fear of being in trouble for partying too hard was replace as she noticed something off about her parent. "Mom? Where's Momma? Who is this mare? And where is your wedding ring?" Her vocalizations coinciding with the mare beside her. It was only a moment before she turned her attention to the pegaus (noting her periwinkle coat, two-toned lavender and silver mane, purple eyes, and cutie mark of a winged star in flight trailing a haze with mare stars) as the other mare first words registered. "What do you mean 'when did you ascend'? She's been an alicorn since before I was born! And why are you calling her mother?"
Moonsparkle shot a seething gaze at the mare beside her. "Because she's my mother! And what, were you born like five seconds ago?" The unicorn-mare (with a white coat; a mane mixed with the colors of red, lavender, and gold ; teal eyes; and a cutie mark of a rising sun below a field of stars) looked back at her with a deadpan look.
"I'm fifteen years old. She's MY mother, and I never had any siblings missy!" Sunrise growled at the pegasus.

Starlight keeping an eye on the bickering pair, queried her mentor, "Twilight, what's going on?"
The alicorn princess's brain could not process her pupil's question as it was too busy with other matters. "Wedding ring?" she vocalized softly. Those were wedding rings I was wearing... and the others... Trixie, Starlight, the other one.... It was then that the second issue hit her. Mom? Mother?... Me?... Eenope! And with that Twilight passed out again.
