"WOW! What a magical term of events these past two weeks! I was in a pickle where I mistakenly gave the wrong Hearts and Hooves letters to the wrong ponies, making my most desired mare ever to reject me out of her position as a princess and a filly's father go begging me to make his daughter my marefriend. My idiotic brain said yes to his proposal and that led me down a spiral of regret and made me beg Discord to use time magic for me to fix it. Now that I've cleared stuff up in this new timeline, Cozy remains friends with me and Twilight...well...let's say that my love letter worked miracles on her. She mentioned after our total make-out session that I'm no longer a student at the school and offered me a job as a teacher's assistant."
"But I came to learn is that the real reason Twilight made me a teacher's assistant was the fact that she had feelings for me too, but was a bit awkward of dating a student at a school she manages. Since I'm technically not a student there anymore, she feels more comfortable with me as a partner."
Roughly two weeks after Hearts and Hooves Day and Mobius' life couldn't get anymore better. He had it all now; a job that pays well, the mare of his dreams, and the complete trust from every student and teacher at school. Speaking of Mobius, he was situated in his own desk space right across from Headmare Twilight's desks maintaining some folders containing potential future students of the school. His task these few days was simple; assist the teachers in anything they require, grade papers, and fill out paperwork. The workload wasn't that bad, but it was a bit more time-consuming than in the classrooms.
He silently sat on his chair and began to read out a few of the student's files reading out their backgrounds. The idea came to him to add an extra layer of security to the school system. Each file about the pony had nothing to be worried about, so Mobius generously accepted all of them with the red stamp of approval he wielded with his magic. Before he finished off the last folder, he was greeted with his beloved marefriend calling out to him.
"Hey Mobius~" she graciously called out his name as he dropped what he's doing and turned his head towards him. "I just finished crafting the questions for the exam tomorrow, how's your work doing?"
Mobius smiled as he placed the last folder on the large stack to his right and answered. "I finished the last folder and am eager to do more for you, your majesty!"
Twilight giggled, "Please, we're significant to each other, call me Twi if you want."
"Well, I'm finished with my task, Twi..."
The two ponies went about chuckling as their small flirting session was cut off short when Twilight changed the topic, "There's something really important we need to discuss my retreat with my friends next week."
"So it seems that I'm closing in on episode 13 where Chrysalis 'plans' to steal the elements of harmony using some magic to transform logs into the mane six. I could perhaps try to talk her out of it before it even happened, but I think It's best if I can talk to her during the act. Still, though, I have no clue how am I going to change her. Unlike Cozy, she already has pure hatred towards Twilight for foiling her plans to steal love in the royal wedding and again from Starlight for dethroning her as queen of her hive and turning her own kind against her."
"Aww, you're not letting me come to your little trip?" he playfully let out a whimper as he curled his bottom lip. "How cruel of you!"
"Oh stop it~" Twilight blushed, teleporting right upfront of his desk as she leaned her upper body towards the desk with her forelegs propping her up. "Well, I made some adjustments to the plan; it's going to be a camping trip alongside your friends and mine! We'll be sleeping within the Everfree forest and even made plans for all of us to do. And of course...plans for us all alone/i]."
"WOAH! This is kids show! When did it turn into some M rated shit!?"
She immediately blushed over her ridiculous idea and denied it. "I was joking on the last part, of course! We still need to keep boundaries after all! But still, I guess it won't hurt if we gaze upon the stars at night,"
"Oh okay, I thought I was getting second base sooner than I thought. But a camping trip with my friends and the teachers? That's different than the episode, maybe my influence on her made her change plans. Could be my chance to get Chrysalis on the friendship train."
"That sounds like a plan!" he nodded, preparing to organize all of the folders in alphabetical order, "I never been camping here before."
"Alright, in other news," Twilight walked over next to Mobius, graciously sitting on top of his desk and crossing her legs to get his attention. "You're aware of the big exam tomorrow? Since it's going to take up all the class time, I'm giving you the day off. I want you to use that free time to give a new pony who is moving to town tomorrow? She wrote to me in a letter that she specifically wants you to show her around, don't know why?"
"A new pony who recently moved here? She's probably some rando that I'll probably forget soon. I'll just have to do my job and give her a little tour of the town"
"I won't let you down, Twi..." he accepted his next task as soon as Twilight leaned forward to give him a peck on the cheek to give him a flustered look.
The next few hours Mobius spent was with the gang to help on their studies for tomorrow's exam, Gallus and Sandbar were accompanied by him to cram-studied their hardest for their biggest mid-term exam that will be the breaking point in their career studying friendship. They huddled together at a spot in the library that was away from most students' eyes when Mobius was handling the practice questions. While the boys were 100% on board with him working for Headmare Twilight just to be with her all the time, the girls had struggled to cope with this drastic change. But, Mobius made sure that this change won't affect their friendship at all.
"Sandbar and Gallus spent the rest of their time in the library studying their butts off while I go over and supervise them and assist with questions. The overall exam was unique, it was all written answers with a few multiple choices. My phone still had the tree of harmony inside it that somehow got sucked in, but she's been focused on trying to learn more about my world using the internet. But I have to prepare for tomorrow's big day giving the new pony in town a tour of the school."
Morning arrived the next day, making Mobius wake up at dawn and went through his morning routine of hygiene, breakfast, and preparations for the tour he was giving to this new pony in town. He doesn't want to make this huge deal, just another day at work at the school itself. It was 9:00 am currently and the exams doesn't officially start at 10, so he had some time to drop by Ponyville to get a little breather. Twilight gave him a little note slip with the pony's address to greet himself.
"Alright, it should be the brown cottage just down two houses to the left," he scanned the area for the correct building to look out for when his head came to a stop as he pointed to one with the correct description. "There it is!"
Trotting in front of the house, he noticed a few boxes and other stuff outside the front lawn. He thought that the pony just got to Ponyville and was currently on the verge of transferring their belongings inside. Mobius noticed the front door was wide open as well as he saw a unicorn mare almost as old as Fluttershy at school when she popped her head out from the door. She had a glorious dirty blond mane with a lock of it wrapped around in a crown braid with a lock of it just dangle down her left side and her fur color was a darker tone than her mane color. What had Mobius interested in her was the fact that her eye colors were completely different as to his; her left eye was a bright yellow and her right was emerald green. That wasn't all, she was acting quite unusual in front of him as the mare quickly recognized him and gave the colt a big hug.
"Ooo! There you are! I've been expecting you!" she squealed out to Mobius, acting like she was reuniting with a long-time friend.
"I don't know this pony at all and she's already clinging on to me, I should just act calm and try to diffuse her confusion."
Her great big hug lasted a full minute as Mobius teleported away from him just a few feet away, "Excuse me, but I do enjoy your enthusiasm with me already. I'm Mobius, a student from Princess Twilight's school of friendship here to give you a tour of this town."
"Oh of course!" the mare got her bearings together and gave him a small chuckle. "I just know my little brother when I see him."
"What the-"
"Excuse me? Were you expecting anything else? I think this is some sort of mistake..." he scratched his head, getting a weird feeling that he may have seen this pony before, but couldn't figure it out.
The mare nodded before she made a small grin on her face. "Don't worry, you'll be safe in my hooves...James..."
She used her horn to teleport them both in the cottage's living room, giving Mobius a slight dread as to what exactly was going on. Her bright yellow aura on her horn was used to close the door tight as she kept on chuckling in front of him. This was getting pretty intense, as Mobius couldn't believe what was going on or who the unicorn was in front of him was. He thought this was some test by Discord or a dream from Luna, but all of his theories came debunked when grabbed a small device from the coffee table' a cellphone.
"T-That is..." he was appalled, literally at a loss of words when the mare showed him a phone greatly similar to his. "Where did you get that?"
Of course, she ignored him to unlock the phone from the homepage and tap on a few buttons before the unicorn was transforming into something, or that she was revealing her true form when the green circle came around her and completely changed her appearance. Just like how James did to transform into his different guises, the creature that lay before his eyes was a bipedal woman wearing the same black coat he wore. However, a few changes came to the bottom part is slightly smaller, only dropping below her thighs. She appeared to be wearing a black pleated mini skirt with matching boxers, so her legs were showing more skin. Unhooding herself to have long brown hair, quickly came down to his knees seeing the woman before him being his sister from his homeworld.
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!"
The sight of any human in Equestria besides him was expected to be a shocker of his life, but James never thought it was going be his very own sister. He has never seen her in a long time, and now apparently she's on board with his agenda of reforming the villains of this show?
"Z-Zoey!?" he shrieked out, causing a little shockwave that affected the house decorum while he hyperventilates. "W-w-w-why are you here!?"
"Calm down James, I'll explain everything after you get off that OC of yours." teased Zoey, crossing her arms to wait for her brother to undo his disguise.
"This can't be happening! This can't be! I know Discord does stuff without warning, but this is ridiculous! What the hell is she doing here!?"
He didn't know what to make of this, so he just did what she commanded and spawned out his phone from the air and undo his transformation. Seconds later, he was back to his original self with him walking up to her and poking her on the cheek. But she slapped his finger away from him after a while.
"Stop it will you!?" she hissed back to him.
"Alright! You're real! But how is this possible!?" he was visibly confused and agitated by another human being in Equestria. "Why does Discord want you here?"
"It wasn't Discord who sent me, it was Princess Celestia," she answered back. "I was just told my mom to drop by at the house to check up on you while I saw a strange paper on the table."
"The contract! She gave you one too?" James added upon her explanation, she nodded.
"Yes, it was a contract saying that you needed serious help on a job. I thought it was some waiver, so I signed it and there she was sitting across from me in the room! She explained everything to me; your job to change the hearts of the four villains and show them the way of friendship, your different powers, and your position as a student at the school of friendship. The reason I'm here is to give you extra insurance."
"Insurance?"
Zoey's face palmed as she explained the obvious to James. "Ya know? Making sure you have a background in this world; I was given all the essential stuff to make sure your background checks out. I 'moved' here from Sire's Hollow as your older sister! She even used some magic to forge some family photos of us!"
"Photos?" James quickly observed the many family portraits of Mobius and her unicorn form in different ages of his life and saw two strange ponies from the wall. He already had to assume when he asked. "These are our parents? But how did she manage all of this?"
"I don't know, she said something about using Photoshop and using magic to print them out." shrugged Zoey. "But still, I can't believe I'm inside Equestria and living amongst ponies from the show!"
It was nice to see another human who's willing to help him out on his efforts to fix the villains of their plans to cause chaos shortly, but the fact that it was James' own older sister? He couldn't be so frustrated and relieved at the same time. They never seemed to talk anymore after she left to do her stuff, they were distant. However, James came to learn that this could be the perfect chance to spend some time together in this new world as their new guises. Just as he was about to give her a big hug, he quickly took notice of something that was clawing him on the inside.
"Wait! Don't you have an aptitude? Do you have any powers?" he asked her, only to receive a silent head shake,
"Sadly, Celestia couldn't get a reading on having an aptitude," answered Zoey. "She'll keep in touch with me as soon as she figures it out."
"Oh yeah...what other apps did she give you?
"The same kit as you apparently; warp gates, camera, and emails." she went on. "You saw the disguise already."
"Still though," instincts rolled by as James went in for a hug, catching her off guard. "It's great to see you, Zoey,"
"Yeah, you too squirt..." she embraced his hug as he wrapped her arms around him. Quickly retracting for a second to continue. "Now let's catch up while you give me the 'tour'"
"Yes we must, but before that..." James knew he was missing something when he looked over at the portrait of her unicorn form in a small frame. "What do I call you in your pony form?"
"You forgot your big sister's name already?" sarcasm exited Zoey's mouth as to answer his question. "It's Radial Shine, don't you forget it!"
The tour to Ponyville wasn't that very long, as Zoey already knew where most of the places are based from the show. James took most of his time catching her up on his progress when they stopped by a pizzeria to grab a quick bite to eat. Of course, they changed to their pony disguises as Mobius and Radial Shine both got served a slice of cheese pizza and a soda drink as they sat outside the front with many ponies chatting and eating.
"So we're in the middle of season 8 by now, saved Cozy Glow from becoming an orphan and reuniting with her father, and currently closing in on episode 13 with Chrysalis trying to steal the elements?" Radial repeated the events Mobius had accomplished, grabbing her slice from the plate with magic and taking another bite. "I say, how the hell are you going to stop...the others?"
Mobius made sure not to call out the fiends by name, as it would cause some minor concern over the citizens. He answered her back by letting out a sigh. "I'm not quite sure where to start with them, but I'm not rushing into things. We've still got a season and a half to complete."
"We'll probably plan something out, I'm sure of it." shrugged Radial, seeing his brother taking a sip from the paper cup. "Is there anything else I need to know? Like, did you run into trouble at some point?"
"I wanted to tell her that I gave Cozy Glow a love letter addressed to Twilight and somehow have the tree of harmony on my phone. But I guess I'll just hang onto that for a later date..."
"Well, besides some minor choices I had when trying to resolve Cozy Glow's issues, I don't have any issues here," he gave her a huge lie as he cringed across the table from her. "Did you just get here to Ponyville? Or were you doing your own thing before?"
"I had to first get our house situation dealt with in Sire's Hollow. Celestia made sure she changed a few documents so that we had some history over there. After that, she decided it would be perfect to move here close to you," explained Radial Shine, "We should be covered as long as nopony figure's out our parents. Anything you need your big sister to do, I'll do it!"
He paused for a quick second, realizing that something he had to do to make sure he gets on the friendship retreat with Twilight and the rest of the gang, "Hang on! I forgot to mention! I need a permission slip signed by a guardian to go on the friendship retreat!"
Radial smiled. "That all? Consider it done! As long as it gets you closer to Chrysalis. Should we head out to the school right now? I don't want to rush, but I want to see the place in person so badly!"
"Yeah, let me give you a quick tour of the placed," answered Mobius, trying to finish what's left on his plate when he asked another question for his sister. "By the way, did you happen to try any of the Pony Cuisine? Hay? flowers? Etc"
"I'm afraid not, I don't understand how creatures could stomach that!" answered Radial, making a barf face.
A usual day after classes at Ms. Cheerilee's schoolhouse as the foals took advantage of their dismissal to play on the play structure or just run around the place. But four three fillies, they were busy accompanying another one as they all sat just outside the front entrance. It sounded like they were exchanging gossip around the students at their class when suddenly, Applebloom spilled some dirt on the real nasty stuff.
"I've heard from my big sis that Mobius has a marefriend at the school! " Applebloom whispered, nudging her hoof at Cozy to give her a question directed at her. "Wouldn't you like to know, Cozy?"
"What if it's somepony that's more intelligent and well-rounded than you? Or somepony who's older than him? Or worse..." replied Scootaloo, listing off some potential candidates and giving a long pause for dramatic effect before continuing. "Somepony WE know!"
She does feel very curious about this mysterious mare Mobius is currently dating, but Cozy Glow was annoyed by her friends' constant pestering her about it. Surely, as much as she wanted to know, it wouldn't be nice of her to pry into his private life. All of this had to come to a stop when she stood her ground. "Enough of this, writing me a letter was enough closure for me! I should be happy for who he's with!"
But her refusal showed no success when Sweetie Belle suggested. "Oh! We should go and just ask him! Rarity mentioned it was exam day there, so he should be a the headmare's office all day."
"Do whatever you want, but I don't want any part of this!" Cozy crossed her forelegs, pursing her lips to show her frustration.
"Come on girls! Let's go!"
"I showed around Radial Shine, aka my sister Zoey, around the school while most students were locked in the classrooms for their exams. It was pretty eerie seeing the school empty without any creature giving it ambiance. Zoey already knows some parts of the school from the show, but this is the first time she's seeing the finer details of upclose. Even showing her the spots that weren't even shown at all. But, we kept quiet to not disturb the students during the exam."
"So, pretty cool that we're actually in the show, huh?" chuckled Mobius, asking his big sister walking next to him.
Radial was focused on gazing upon the interior and decor of the school, fangirling her heart out when answering. "EEEEEE! This is sooo amazing! I'm seeing the interior of the School upclose and in person! This beats the playset by a landslide! Everything is so detailed; the walls, ceilings, furnishings! all of it!"
"Shh!" hushed Mobius, placing his foreleg on her mouth as he stopped in the middle of the hall. "The students here are taking a test! Keep it down."
"S-Sorry" she sheepishly apologized, keeping her voice toned down. "Can we go to the counselor's office next? I want to see Starlight in person."
"Yes," Mobius nodded, "should be a swing down this hall."
A few seconds across the hallway and the two siblings reached the front door to Starlight's office, it should be alright to enter by Mobius' account. Using his horn, he enveloped the door handle with his aura and pulled out the door. He made a few trips to the counselor's office only to escort troubled students from class, but he's confident that Starlight would be a caring pony to meet with his sister. Inside the room was Starlight doing some business writing on parchment with a quill pen on her at them and spotted Mobius with an ambiguous mare in her mind.
"Oh, Mobius!" she was caught off guard on his sudden entrance. "How's your day off doing for you? And, who might this be?"
"This is the new neighbor that Twi- I mean, Headmare Twilight wanted me to give a tour of the town," he answered by stepping away to the left and introducing her. "Starlight, meet Radial Shine...also my older sister."
"Older sister!?" she screamed out of her lungs and came out from her chair to process this new piece of information "This is quite a shocker, your file never mentioned anything about a sibling. Why is that?"
"Crap! I didn't think of my file, Damn it Discord!"
Zoey instantly knew that the situation was going to get sour, so she pulled up a little white lie as Radial answered. "It's a pretty long story, I left my parents a long time ago after headed straight to magic school near his age. Then, went to do freelancing as an artist doing commissions for bits. We were pretty distant, so we barely got to play with each other. Only up until I found out in a letter that our parents dropped him in friendship school while they do their busy work at Manehatten. I thought since he's at a school dedicated to friendship, why shouldn't I reunite with him? Friendship may be a strong kind of bond, but nothing beats family!"
"Hmmph...I know how that feels when somepony important to you leaves for half your life..." huffed Starlight, keeping the mood down as she reminisce the bad times. "But I'm just appalled that Mobius never mentioned you at all! You were probably surprised too seeing her, huh Mobius."
Mobius cringed up. "Yeah...very."
The door behind them flew open, showing a stallion Mobius haven't seen for most of his time in Equestria; Sunburst. He dropped by from time-to-time, but never really saw him in person. Speaking of Sunburst, he was focused on Starlight as he adjusted his glasses to greet her on this fine friend.
"Hey Starlight! I got the..." he suddenly dropped what he had in mind to gaze upon the elegant beauty that laid right in front of his eyes, Radial Shine. Sunburst's mouth dropped at the moment she stared back at him asking, "W-Who is that!?"
Mobius had the common sense to introduce him to her when he used his hoof to present her. "Sunburst, I would like you to meet my older sister; Radial Shine,"
It seemed that he was glad to be seeing such an elegant mare on sight as he zoomed past the door and in front of Radial, giving her a formal bow like he was preparing to dance. Getting back up from his kindly gesture, he made proper introductions to the giggly mare, "I am Sunburst! Official crystaller to Princess Flurry Heart of the Crystal Empire and good friends to the professors at this fine establishment, especially her! I never knew Mobius had an older sister, but I barely get to see him, so there's that!"
Forgetting to mention her name made Starlight's eye twitch a bit as she teleported behind him and gave him a nice whack with a rolled-up newspaper she had at the ready. This made Radial Shine laugh at the sight of all this commotion and made Mobius cringe as he witnesses all of this.
Radial Shine put on a devious-looking grin as a way of teasing the poor stallion. "Wow! I bet your marefriend would be a bit jealous of you speaking to a more like me?"
"Oh, he doesn't have a marefriend, for this long apparently..." Starlight rolled her eyes over to correct Radial while muttering.
"Is this happening right now? Sunburst is eyeing my sister? Now I know how Shining Armor feels...also, note to self; practice self-defense spells when confronting him in the future."
Just to add fuel to fire, another mare popped open the door as Twilight Sparkle herself entered the fray looking very peeved on something. But, Radial ignored the tension on her face when she fangirled out of her mind approaching the princess upclose.
"Oh-my-gosh! Princess Twilight!? You are here!" she squealed, noticing her fiery stare reaching the back of her mind that made her step back a few feet, "Umm...is something wrong!?"
"You..." She slowly pushed her head upwards underneath Radial's and walked straight to her to show a sign of dominance, "I saw you roam the hallways back then, acting as you knew each other for a VERY long time...tell me..WHAT'S YOUR AFFILIATION TO HIM!?"
"W-what are you talking about?" Radial found her very startling when she crept backward in response.
This was also a surprise for Mobius, he never expected somepony like Twilight to be overly protective over somepony she cares about deep down. There were some instances where she gets frustrated, mad, or pretty much disappointed, but he had never seen it up close before. But alas, Mobius had to resolve this issue before his big sister gets turned into dust.
"Uh, Twilight..." Mobius slowly approached the princess to calm her down a bit.
"You better give me a good explanation mister!" Twilights stern face moved over to him, "Why do have another mare on your sigh-"
"She's my sister, for Celest's sake!"
"Your WHAAAAAAT!?"
"The awkwardness in the counselor's office died down as I diffused the situation with a long explanation me and my sister's situation. Sunburst couldn't stop staring at her as he had some small pink hearts fluttering out of him. That was pretty strange, I thought those were just added effects from the show to visualize lovey-dovey moments. Nevertheless, Starlight of course had to pull him away from his trance over her. Radial Shine promised to check out the other places herself as I was heading out to the Headmare's office with Twilight to finish off my story."
The walk to the Headmare's office took less than a minute when Mobius and Twilight entered the chamber and sat on a sofa together to relax for a while. It wasn't the first time he sat close to his marefriend, but things were a bit different as Twilight sported a more seductive tone in her voice. Combined with her left foreleg around his neck, made him bite his lip at this intense moment.
"Oh Mobius, you are filled with surprises aren't you?" cooed Twilight, slowly approaching the colt closer and closer. "I still can't believe you kept your little secret to your very own princess."
Things were getting pretty heated for Mobius, wobbling his legs as he sat very stiffly on the sofa, "W-Well, I never k-knew she was the one to move here, I was shocked myself. S-Sorry that I didn't mention her earlier."
She slowly used her hoof around his neck to pull his head down to her knees, making sure his head was resting on her lap, "It's alright, I was in the wrong to assume her as another marefriend you were seeing behind my back. I know that you wouldn't keep secrets from me! You nerdy little rascal..."
Blushing as soon as Twilight situated him in this position, Mobius looked like a total baby as he gazed at Twilight's beautiful face from above. However, he realized that nearly all of the princesses know his true identity; his purpose, powers, and where he came from. Perhaps someday, he'll be able to tell Twilight the complete truth of him and his sister's intentions in this world?
"Now, while the students are in their classrooms working their noggins off..." she carefully stroked his mane to prepare for another surprise in store, "Let's use this free time to give you a little gift."
She slowly embraced him for a quick kiss on the lips before they both rubbed their muzzles together to show their total affection towards each other. James felt like he died and went to heaven, but it was better than that. He's done it, he's completely dating the pony of his dreams. But little did they know, they weren't the only ones that were inside the office. Radial Shine and the crusaders were staring deeply at their private time with mouths agape. The three fillies especially were the ones most invested in this shocking discovery they witness when they nearly tore themselves apart by fainting down to the ground. Radial Shine was the one who stood silently as seeing her little brother caressed like a baby on Princess Twilight's possession when her mouth still was wide open.
"WHAT THE FUCK! HE NEVER SAID HE DID IT! WHAT THE HELL, JAMES!?"
