Equestria Castle of Friendship.
Princess Twilight circled around her lab as she read a levitating manuscript and at the same time inspected my sister. She had explained to us that she could sense our bond radiating from us stronger than that of her and her friends...this made me happy to hear as now I didn't really remember a life without Light Shimmer in it.
"I think Etrium has a plan he has yet to show us." Light spoke quietly to break the silence as myself and Pinkie sat at the table reading the book Spike had discovered the cataclysm information from. I just couldn't get my head around how my little innocent sister was supposed to be this incredibly powerful deity, I mean okay I have seen her do some amazing things with her magic while doing our night patrols lately...something I'm still getting used to...but this book describes her attacking a colossal Titan head on!
"I'm still trying to understand Etrium's plan for the coming events...the book says he no longer takes sides nor involvement in all the realms affairs." Princess Twilight stopped examining Light an sat next to her. "I must say I love your pony form...you really have a huge likeness to your sister." She smiled as she switched glances between myself and Light.
"You flatter me, your majesty." Light bowed her head gently.
"C'mon Light, stop been so proper...you're making it hard to be friendly with you..." The Princess of Friendship smiled at the former Shaman who instantly blushed. "Sooo...I hear you fell for Sonata...that's a first..." I knew Twilight had my sister in her sights for teasing now, I wasn't going to miss this chance.
"Yeah, we thought Sonata was kinda A-sexual for a while...she never showed interest in anyone in that way." I added as Light became purple with her blushing.
"Well...I...erm...she's just so perfect...how can she have been single so long!" Light stammered out. "She is so loving and sweet too..."
"She is pretty crazy about you, Light...I don't think I've ever seen her so happy." My Pinkie Pie spoke. "And she definitely can't get enough of you...I mean the other night..." And I had to cut the conversation.
"Okay honey...TMI...still a little disturbed about it..." I recalled the night and the sounds...
"Erm...really...don't go there..." Light turned from me to Twilight. "Pinkie isn't the quiet type...FYI she is the incredibly loud and fast to finish type." She smirked as Princess Twilight raised a hoof to her lips to giggle.
"Yeap! Fast & Loud." My Pinkie skipped on the spot happy as...as..Pie I guess...no signs of embarrassment nor blushing...guess I was doing enough for both of us. "Sunny does rock my world thou to be fair." She dazed as I face-hoofed with too much embarrassment to cope.
"It's a shame Sonata couldn't make it, considering she is best friends with Twi...I've never really talked to her much." The Princess sat at a nice table that had been laid out by Spike earlier with nice tea and treats.
"So...erm are we done your highness?" My little sister asked as she walked towards Twilight.
"Yep...I see nothing out of the ordinary...you two...for now at least...are a beautiful mystery." She smiled at us as my heart skipped a beat with happiness.
We decided to head into Ponyville to say hello to some of our other friends and I was exited to introduce them all to my sister too. First stop was Rarity's shop and she was there with Spike who was helping her with the usual starry eyes.
"Thank you darling." Rarity kissed his forehead as he handed her a drink before turning to us.
"I see both of you getting on as always." Smiled Twilight as she stopped to turn towards Light. "Rarity you met Stone Hammer before...she is now Light Shimmer." Rarity had to double take at my sis.
"Wow truly astonishing creature you are darling!" Rarity was close to Light with a couple of elegant strides. "Your features are so strong and elegant! like a sporty Sunset!" She smiled at me.
"Hey Rar! I am sporty!" I argued in pretend shock, I knew what she meant.
"Of course darling, what I mean...well look at her." She tapped Light's hind legs with her right hoof to show off her solid muscles.
"Yeah yeah I get it...she’s a beast." I smiled as Light flexed her hind legs and raised her eyebrows mockingly at me.
"Thank you Rarity, you look so much like your human counterpart." Light smiled at her as Pinkie jumped in between them exited.
"Do me do me!" She said as she hopped in place, Rarity raised her eyebrows.
"Pinkie Pie...what happened to your fur?" She questioned.
"Guess Spike hasn't told you...this is earth's Pinkie Pie." Light bumped Pinkie with her rump to the side.
"That's a lovely cutey mark Pinkie Pie darling." Smiled Rarity as she saw my Pinkie's flank, the air was so relaxed it felt like we had all been here before many a time. Light's tummy made a big rumble and my younger sister blushed as she pretended it didn't.
"Any one else hungry apart from Light?" I asked as I smirked at her.
"I could eat...to the pancake house!" My Pinkie Pie made a silly explorer position as I smiled at her silliness.
"That is a great idea Diane." My sis twitched as she said the name, it was obvious this would take some getting used too.
We said our goodbyes to Rarity and Spike who where both hard at work with clothing for an upcoming fashion show.
The trip to the pancake house was filled with conversation from Pinkie and Twilight about Light and Sonata's relationship. Strangely enough Light and I walked behind the two mares as they enjoyed their gossip, all the time Light had a proud smile on her face...showing that she was completely in love with Sonata.
"Have you told Sonata yet?" I whispered to Light as she turned to me puzzled.
"Erm...told her what sis?" She questioned me.
"That you love her." I deadpanned then smiled....silly mare it's obvious to everyone.
"Eh...erm...well...kinda..." She stumbled quickly out of her cool element, at heart Light was still young and very much a klutz. "No...nope...not yet." She finally admitted in defeat.
"You know its obvious to everyone..." I decided to encourage her. "Specially from her side..." Light's face, for lack of a better word, light up...yep I went there.
"Really? you think so!" She nearly skipped ala Pinkie.
"Erm...yes...I figured she loved you before I figured you loved her." I laughed. "Her pupils always turn to hearts every time she looks at you...I don't know what you did to her but she is completely yours..." I giggled as Light's smiled filled her face...my sister was beautiful that was a given. "Just be careful not to hurt my friend Light, I think you would break her in half, and from what Aria said, you are Sonata's first...well everything." I concluded as Light's face went red.
"I'm gonna tell her next time I see her!" Light concluded like she was preparing for a night of patrolling, her face very determined, it was cute to see her so happy, specially in times like these.
The pancake house was bigger than I remember, we used to hang out here with the rest of the students back when I was part of Celestia's class...those times where amazing...there isn't a day that passes I don't regret screwing all that up in my stupid greed for power...but also always feel conflicted as everything I did led me to meeting my now family and friends.
“Oh. My...god.” Princess Twilight’s voice was a whisper as she froze at the sight of Pinkie Pie who was looking straight at us still as a statue, Light’s face resembled a rabbit looking up at a car’s headlights. Now don’t get me wrong but I love my partner with all my heart, and truth be told I’ve had a few fantasies about her and her pony other together...but this was nothing I was prepared for.
A quiet shrill that grew to a loud squeal came from both Pinkie’s, exactly the same pitch I may add. With seconds they where both bouncing in front of each other asking questions at breakneck speed and examining each other.
“Sis...please tell me we will survive this...Atlas doesn’t seem to scary now.” Light whispered into my ear as I shot her a side glance half laughing half nervous. My god both Pinkie’s looked amazing.
“Hey...Pinkie Pie...for some reason I didn’t think you would be here.” Twilight finally snapped into reality after she had obviously been envisioning a scenario where Equestria would exploded once both Pinkie Pie’s met. “I guess you met Pink...I mean Diane Pie.”
“Ohmygodohmygodohmygod! TWILIGHT!” Not my Pinkie Pie had appeared behind me. “Why...didn’t you tell me!? We’re going to have SO...MUCH...FUN!” Pinkie Pie examined me before appearing next to sis. “Wow...you’re reeeeeally cute!!! so much nicer than the big STONE HAMMER!” Pinkie giggled as she made a funny booming voice.
“Yep! she looks like a cute sporty stocky version of my baby!” Diane appeared next to me as she gently squished my cheeks and gave my muzzle a quick kiss.
“Oh yeah! I forgot you two are a couple!” Pinkie Pie came back to me and Diane to look at me closer. “After careful examination I agree with this! Sunset is to put it in a professional terms...a hottie.” Pinkie Pie stood dressed as a doctor and spoke like she was addressing a class.
“Oh...what the hell?” My sister approached me slacked jawed at all of Pinkie’s madness.
“Erm...I know I know...just don’t try to understand it, don’t question it...just move on.” I reassured her as Twilight stepped towards us.
“In best terms...Smile and wave girls, smile and wave.” She winked at us as we all giggled.
“Diane...shall we?” Pinkie Pie asked as she looked at her doppelganger.
“I think we should...and it should be right here....its time for....” My Pinkie inhaled same as her twin.
“AH PARTY!!!!” They both shouted together as Apple Jack came through the front door to the Pancake House.
“Sweet cheese an crakers!” She jumped back in fear as she saw both Pinkie Pie’s actions. “Somepony...please...wake me up...NOW!” She cowered a little as I smiled at my best friend. “Sunset! thank Celestia yah ‘ere!” She quickly composed herself as she gave me a huge hug. “Ah missed yah so much.” I loved her honesty be here or back home. “We got some catchin’ up to do.”
“That’s and understatement Jacky- old friend.” I smiled at her as as placed a hoof on Light to bring her closer.
“Oh my swirls yah gotta twin.” She gasped at our likeness and then smiled.
