Mind control

Twilight Sparkle's P.O.V:

"Today, Twilight," Sombra begins "I shall teach you the spell called mind control."

"M-mind control?" I ask, surprised. "Why do I need to learn that?"

"Are you seriously asking me that question? I thought that after I accidentally destroyed your castle and got all of Ponyville either injured or unconscious, you'd be angry at me."

"I am."

"Exactly. So, you can mind control me and make me do whatever you want."

"But that's just wrong! I don't want to mind control you!"

"Even if you don't want to mind control me, you still should learn it so that you could use it if need to."

"I wouldn't need to use it."

"Fine. You don't have to use it, but if you learn how to use it, you'd be able to fight against mind control."

"The only ponies who know how to use mind control other than you are the Princesses."

"Don't forget about Discord, Chrysalis, Tirek, and that pegasus filly, who if given a horn, would be able to do anything she wanted."

"Discord is reformed, and the others you mentioned are now a stone statue."

"What if one of them broke out?"

"What if they didn't?"

"Well, it's not impossible to free them, is it? After all, Discord was freed from his stone prison, and by three fillies no less."

"You're not planning on freeing them, are you?"

"Even if I do have magic now, I wouldn't free them. But somepony else might."

"Even if they do get freed, I don't want to learn mind control."

"Your wish. Since that was the only thing I thought of teaching you today, I guess that now we managed to bring your castle back and fix all the damage caused, there's nothing else to do. I'm going to make some crystals in the library, ok?"

"No crystals."

"It's not like I'll repeat my mistakes and remove your castle again."

"Still no."

"But that's what I want to do!"

"Sombra, I'm telling you no. N o spells no."

"But what can you do to stop me? Nothing." Sombra runs to the library, and I run after him.

"Sombra," I pant once I'm there. "What do you want me to do?"

"Let me teach you mind control."

"And if I let you teach me, then you won't make any crystals in my library?"

"I promise."

"Pinkie promise."

"What's that?"

"Never mind. We're definitely not going to practice on ponies, and I don't want to practice on you."

"Of course we're not going to use ponies. We're going to use animals. Or flies."

"You can mind control flies? I never knew that..."

"Of course you didn't. Let me show you." The dark unicorn concentrated hard on a fly that was on a table, and then said, "I'm gonna make the fly dance about, slam into a wall, and other things it wouldn't do so that you know I'm mind controlling it."

The fly began to dance around. "Sombra? Could you mind control something other than a fly?"

"Are you asking if I'm able to, or do you just want me to control something else?"

"The latter."

"I can control... What other living thing is in this room?"

"There's only me and you."

"Could I control your dragon pet?"

"Spike is not my pet! How many times do I have to tell you that?! And you can't control him."

"Then find me an animal."

"Why don't you go out yourself and get it?"

"Have you forgotten that if I take one step outside, the ponies will scream and start looking for places to hide and Celestia would be told about me?"

"Have you forgotten that I gave you some magic and you can disguise yourself?"

Sombra facehooved. "...I totally forgot."

“Do you know disguise spells?”

“Do I? By Tartarus I do.”

“So go ahead and disguise yourself.”

A flash of magic later, Sombra looks exactly as he did before, just with a normal unicorn horn and green eyes.

I facehoof. “Sombra, you look exactly like you did before with only a few minor changes.”

“Then how's this?” His horn is replaced with a pair of wings.

“Sombra, for Celestia's sake!”

Sombra sighs and turns into an earth pony. With the same bucking colors.

“Sombra!” I yell. “Let me disguise you.”

“I can‘t see anything wrong with my disguise."

“I- You'll be recognized immediately!”

“No.”

“Yes. If you take one step out of this castle, anypony who sees you will ask you if you're related to King Sombra!”

“But I am King Sombra.”

“Ugh!” Under my breath I mutter, “Why the actual buck is he so…”

“What are you muttering about me?”

“Nothing. I'm just wondering what I should make you look like.” A flash later Sombra is disguised as a pegasus stallion with dark blue fur and an almost black mane.

King Sombra's P.O.V:

I look in the mirror. And… “Holy Tartarus! I look like a stallion version of Princess bucking Luna!”

Sparkler sighs. “At least it's better than your disguise.”

“Is not. Disguise me as something else this instant!”

“As something else? Like a bird?”

“I am not going to be transformed into a female bird. Again. Or any other animal. Transform me into a stallion so handsome, mares will be falling at my hooves. And not because I extended my hindhoof as they walk by.”

“You do it.”

“Fine.”

I am now a pegasus with white fur. My mane is blond, and my eyes are blue.

I smirk at Sparkler. “So…how's this?”

She answers by teleporting away. I guess that means she didn't want to show how handsome she found me.

Time to fly out of the window then. Or since there isn't a window in this room, I could use the door and see if my transformation works.

Starlight Glimmer's P.O.V:

Today is the day marked as 'spending time with Twilight'. Kind of weird that she wanted me to spend a whole day just with her.

I mean, doesn't she have lots of things to do as a Princess of Equestria? Shouldn't she be spending more time with her closer friends- the elements of harmony?

Oh Starlight, Starlight, Starlight. You're her friend as well. She thinks of you as a close friend just like her other five friends.

I sigh and teleport outside her room. “Twilight are you in there?” I knock twice.

But instead of Twilight, a handsome as buck stallion comes out. “Hello there,” his voice is deep and low, and sends me swooning.
