9: Midnight Sparkle Returns

Sci-Twi's Point of View


I was getting anxious again, but this time wasn't like the others.
You'll see me again, Twilight Sparkle!
"NO!" I said, gripping onto the bed as tight as I could with hooves, "PLEASE DON'T!!!!!"
I suddenly snapped back to reality.
"'No' what?" Princess Twilight said, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," I said, "What did you want to talk about? It's okay if you want to sit at the foot of the bed. I'm used to Spike being there, but... he isn't. He's at home."
"Oh. I'm sorry."
"It's okay," I said before lowering my voice to just above a whisper, "Just as long as Midnight Sparkle stays away."
She looked at me, nodded in an "Okay, I see" fashion, and sat down in the bed.
"Well," she said sitting on the bed, "First, I'd like to start over from earlier."
Dammit.
"How much earlier?"
"Right before you blacked out," she said, calmly, "I was hoping that it wouldn't come to you blacking out and having to be put in the Royal Infirmary."
I let out a sigh of relief.
"I was asking you if you'd like to learn about friendship, because Sunset Shimmer, I'm sure you already know her, said that you might be interested."
"Friend...ship?"
"She told me to be prepared for this," she said, "Because from what I understand, it doesn't exist to you yet."
Okay, Twilight Sparkle. They aren't going to try to do anything to you. In fact, they probably...
I told you that I'd be back! And now, you're going to fall to my control!
I was sucked into a cage made of the same magic that had turned me into Midnight Sparkle.
"RUN!!!"


Princess Twilight's Point of View


"Friend...ship?" she said, confused
"She told me to be prepared for this. Because from what I understand, it doesn't exist to you yet."
She began struggling.
"RUN!!!"
What I saw next was a monster that had manifested itself within Twilight! It looked exactly like the monster from the thing Sunset Shimmer showed me, only this time she was a pony! I jumped off of the bed and galloped backwards to the door.
"Twilight? Are you okay?" I shouted
"Twilight's not here!" it said, throwing a ball of magic at me.
I teleported away from it, JUST before it hit me! It hit the door instead, taking out that entire wall. Everyone could see what was going on, I'm sure.


Cadence's Point of View


"You don't have to," I said, "Now, I think Princess Twilight," I began to question things, "would like to talk to you."
Twilight looked over to Princess Twilight.
"If you'd like, that is."
"Sure," Twilight said, visibly unsure of what was going on, "I... guess so...?"
"Alright, then," Princess Twilight said, "How, when, and where would you like?"
"Okay," my sister-in-law said, taking a deep breath, "Could we be alone? But... could my brother and Cadence stand right outside? I- if I need them?"
"Sure," Princess Twilight said, turning around to everyone of us, "If everybody and everypony would step out, except for Twilight's Brother and Sister-In-Law?"
Everyone except me and Shining stayed in at the Princess's request.
"What would you like for us to do?" I asked.
"Twilight Sparkle"
"I guess it's okay if you and everyone just started calling me Sci-Twi now, just to be completely clear as to which of us they are referencing," Twilight said.
"Okay, Sci-Twi," she said to Twilight before turning back around to face Shining, "Your sister has requested that you stay just outside of the room. If you want, I can have Princess Celestia get some chairs for you."
"That'd be great," Shining Armor said before turning to Twilight, "Just call if you need us."
We went right out into the hallway. Princess Celestia had two chairs for us across from the door to her room, probably as a courtesy.
"Don't worry," she said before turning and going to what must've been a waiting room, "She is in good hooves."
The wall separating the room and hallway was thin, so we could, to an extent, hear the conversation. I looked at Shining, completely ignoring the fact that we were ponies now, both of us unicorns, to ask him a question.
"Should we stay here or go a little farther down?" I asked, "I really want to respect her and her privacy, but she did say that she wanted us just outside in the hall."
"She'd probably want us to stay here, even if we can hear them. I think that it's best if we just didn't listen and try to do something else instead," my husband said, thinking of something to do, "Maybe we could try that thing Sunset told Twilight to do with our phones and see if we can get it to work for ourselves."
I thought for a second, but he never did anything except wait anxiously as if something bad was going to happen.
"You're right," I said, getting my phone and holding it in my hooves, "We just need to take our minds off of it."
When I managed to hold the power key on my Galaxy S6 long enough to see the thing start up, we heard screaming. Shining jumped out of his chair, only to get blown back against a wall. I was far beyond terrified at what I saw.
"Twilie!" Shining said, getting up.
