Twilight was stumped. Confused. Bamboozled.
Mostly because the Princess looked so proud.
And had tears in her eyes.
And was smiling.
And because of what? A menace that destroyed half her tower? Twilight would've objected, but she was still too stunned to say anything, finding herself trying to solve the puzzle that sat before her.
Unfortunately, the colored one recovered quicker.
“Uh, yeah! We’re totally friends!”
What. The. Buck.
Twilight would’ve objected, but the princess was far quicker than her currently befuddled mind could hope to match.
“To be honest, I was worried you’d waste your weekend off reorganizing your library.”
Twilight felt her eye twitch a little.
“Nah, we’re totally hanging out! My name's Rainbow Dash, by the way.”
Such lies, and to a Princess, no less.
But said princess apparently believed every word, because all she did was nod approvingly, like the idea of Twilight reorganizing and reshelving her books was a far inferior option that shouldn’t even be considered. It felt insulting, but it also felt like she had been secretly failing her teacher the entire time.
“So, what were you two doing?”
Rainbow Dash, a name that was both fitting and very similar to what she actually was, froze on the spot, and Twilight smirked internally. Yeah, she might have been failing her teacher and mentor without knowing it, but at least Rainbow Dash would sink alongside her.
“We were... gonna go see the wonderbolts show!”
And, like that, Dash pulled out a ticket from where Twilight suspected to be hell, because that was where she must have originated from.
“You find your Ticket, Twi?”
She was a demon.
“I, Uh, I-“
“You still can’t find it? We’re gonna be late!”
No, Twilight decided, she wasn’t a demon. She was the devil.
Twilight struggled to think of a coherent response, to deny or refuse, but all that came out was indignant stuttering.
“Fear not, Twilight. I can provide you with a ticket.”
And like that, the Princess unknowingly made it worse.
“Wha?!”
“That’s awesome! Thank ya!”
And the devil won. Just like that, Twilight was given an envelope the Princess summoned from the void before she was unceremoniously pushed out her tower/comfort zone by the ponification of evil herself.
