The past few times she did, she flew, but this time she walks. It's darker in the forest, and she can't stand the sun beaming down on her. Inn had things on her mind. Her death actually. She now knows... she has known, what the reason for the have thirty years to have pass by her. … The things on her mind related to her death. She was going through the forest, thinking on how horrible it was. How gruesome it was. She didn't just die, she was murdered. A serial killer had done it, too. Luna's spell backfired (backfire means it didn't work, but it did, and the best way to describe what happened was backfire still), leaving Inn with all the knowledge of what happened, and some of Luna's history... as if Inn used the spell on Luna. Yes, Inn knows why Luna turned into the Luna that stood before her after the spell. Inn also knows why the spell didn't work the way it was expected to. To Inn, that all wasn't the most important thing. What was, was questions. How many ponies has Moonstone killed? Why did he do it? Why was he so merciless? Why was Inn alive now? These questions along with many more, were going through Inns mind. She would feel weak from thinking so much and not eating, so she would go to get tea, only to start getting sick by the thought. She would need some strength, so she got the taste for tea, and sick again. She began to get the feeling of vertigo from the thoughts spinning in her mind. Another reason why flying wasn't a good idea. She rests on a tree. She’s been walking for the past fourteen hours. She had been trying to use up some of her thinking process by doing advanced spells. Inn was armoring her legs with... well magical made armor, and making her nerves react to halve the normal amount of stimulus. She learned a lot from Luna, but it doesn't do much for her hooves after this much walking. She looks down at these nice blue flowers the where growing all around the ground. She uses her magic to pick several dozens of these beautiful flowers. Using the flowers around, and her magic, she makes a bouquet of lovely blue flowers. She knew of a friend that would just love these beautiful flowers. ============= Inn starts to feel a little better. She hasn't been able to do anything special for any of her friends. With these flowers, she just knows that Rarity will love the gift. Even though she was feeling a bit better, she didn't stop the other spells as she levitated the bouquet to Rarity's shop. Inn seeing that some ponies were looking a little scared as she trotted into town. Inn knocked on the door, but no answer. “Ah, Rarity, are y-you in?” Thinking that Rarity was just working hard, she enters to drop off the flowers. Inn walks to one of the tables that she sees Rarity normally use for random things. This looks good. Before Inn could set down the flowers though, Rarity came out of one of the other rooms. She isn't looking where she is going at first. “Welcome to the Car-” Rarity looks up. Her eyes dart in a panic at Inn and then to what she is levitating. “No! Keep those vile things away!” she screamed as she ran up the stairs. Inn stood there, dumbfounded. Why did Rarity react like that to these beautiful flowers? Inn just walked out with her head held down. She didn't see the mirror on her way out. If she did she it though, she would understand a little more why Rarity ran. The reflection of Inn showed floating leg armor, several strands of woven lit vines, and a horn that was glowing. Inn herself was not visible. ============= Inn makes her way to Fluttershy's house. Fluttershy likes animals and plants, she would like the bouquet for sure. Seeing that Fluttershy is working on helping some animals with getting some food, Inn sees that she may have to wait a few minutes. When Fluttershy is done, she turns around to see bizarre looking... thing that sends a shiver down her spine. It almost looks like a pony, and like it was walking to her. “Ahh, wh-what do you want?” asked Fluttershy, as she backed up. “What i-is it Fluttershy? It's j-just me I have f-flowers for you.” Inn put the flowers in front of herself to show what she was talking about. “Wh-why a-are you giving those to me?” squeaked Fluttershy. “D-don't you like f-flowers?” asked Inn, as she lowered her head, and tilted it. “Why aren't you s-saying anything?” asked Fluttershy as she backed up trying to go to her house. She wasn't doing a good job at it. “What do you m-mean?” asked Inn as she raised her head again. “Ah!” she ducks in preparation for an attack. Was it the flowers? Was it the armor? Was it something else? Inn through the flowers behind herself and stopped all magic, even made her horn go away. “Better?” Fluttershy looks up. Then she looks around. She really trembles. “Where did you go? Did you leave?” “I'm righ-” Inn stops as she was about to touch Fluttershy's shoulder. Inn can't see her own hoof. Fluttershy was slowly making her way to her house, looking to see if that thing would come back. Inn changes into Fluttershy. After some time, Fluttershy looks back. She sees a double of herself and panics more. “No, Fluttershy! W-wait!” she said, forgetting for second to change her voice. “Ah, I mean, wait!” Inn used Rainbow. Good old Rainbow. “Wha-, how, how are you-?” Fluttershy watched the other her changed into Twilight, and then Applejack. “Inn?” “Why can't you see ‘me’ me?” asked Inn. “I don't know. This is just weir-” she looks back at the blue flowers. “Did you touch those flowers?” Inn looks at them and then nods a yes to Fluttershy. “Oh, my...” ============= The two go to Twilight. Inn couldn't resist the temptation of going as Twilight. Fluttershy wouldn't say what was up, just that they needed to see Twilight or some other pony. They knocked on Twilight's door, with Spike answering it shortly after. “Ah, ah~, Twilight, it's you and Fluttershy!” announced the confused dragon. Inn began to chuckle. She was using her own voice, so she was mute to those around her. “Twilight... the other you is scaring me right now.” Twilight came to the door to see that in fact there as another her with Fluttershy. “What's going on? Is that you Inn?” Fluttershy was about to answer but Inn stopped her. She wanted to have some more fun. “I was w-walking around the f-forest.” Inn was miming her actions by walking around in a circle. “I was t-thinking a-about my d-death.” Inn fell to her side then got back up. “What is she doing?” asked Twilight. Fluttershy was just as confused. “To h-help stop the s-spinning in my head...” She spun her head around, and acted like she lost her hoofing. “... I added some armor.” Inn adds armor. “That d-didn't do that m-much, so I...” Inn changed her coat color her own. She also got rid of the mane and tail. “Ahh~!” screamed Twilight. Fluttershy reacted a little too, she mostly just looked away. “... tweaked w-with my nerves.” Her synapses lit up. “Ah, Inn...?” “Then I l-looked around.” Inn turned back into Twilight, keeping on the leg armor, and then looks around. “M-my hooves hurt.” Inn held up a hoof and looked at it like it hurt. “So I r-rested on a tree.” Inn rested on Twilight's house. “What are-” “T-then I saw these f-flowers.” Inn acted like she was shocked at something. “So I picked t-them.” She made a bouquet with magic, the bouquet being magical light. “Wait, flowers?!” asked Twilight, looking at Fluttershy seeing a nod. “I brought th-them to Rarity.” Inn made a magic light of Rarity. “But s-she ran.” She made the light run off and poof out. “Was that good enough?” asked Inn, using Twilight's voice. “Where do I start?” Her face showed her voice's shock. “First, why didn't you just talk?” “Funner.” “Um, okay... Why didn't you just get to the flowers sooner?” “Funner.” “Oh... Right. And, why didn't you come to me as yourself, and why do you sound like me right now?” “Weren’t you listening?” Inn changes herself to be her normal self. Then walks to the shocked Twilight in front of her. She jumps on Twilight's back, making Twilight fall to the ground. Having her mouth next to the back of Twilight's head, she says. “Ha, ha you c-can't hear me! S-sucks to be you r-right now ha?” “What?! This can't be! This happened from Poison Joke?” Inn got off Twilight back, so that Twilight could stand up again. “Well this is easy enough to fix. Spike, get my copy of Supernaturals.” “Oh, I knew you'd help Twilight,” said Fluttershy. “Yea, why would I.” “Here-, Ah, ah, achooo!” said Spike as she was about to give the book to Twilight. When he sneezed he let out a fiery burst that chard most of the first section of the book. “Ah, oh... I'm so sorry Twilight. I didn't mean it I swear!” he pleaded. “We really need to put a muscle on you or something.” Twilight was being sarcastic, but the hint of frustration made it sound a little serious. “Oh no. Don't do that Twilight!” pleaded Fluttershy. “I won't, don't worry.” “So what did you need it for anyway? Did another pony get into Poison Joke or something? That would be good for a laugh,” asked Spike as he got a little closer to the others. “Yes, it's for her.” Twilight looked to her right for Inn, but didn't see her so Twilight look around. Fluttershy did the same. “ME~!” shouted Inn as she appeared next to Spike as Spike, even holding the chard book. Every pony jumped. They didn't expect that, especially Spike. “Whoa, there's another me! How's there another me?!” “Why is there another me? Are you a spy? Are you a horrible monster?” asked Inn, pointing a burnt book accusingly. “Twilight?” pleaded Spike, not sure what to make of this fake him. Twilight was looking at Inn with a smile before Spike made his plea. “Okay Inn, that's enough.” “Awhh~, but I was having so much fun.” “Twi, what is that thing?” “Well it looks to be you,” she sarcastically answered. “What's not wha- why is there another me?” “Well, this would have been fixed with that book. She got into Poison Joke. Now Inn can only be seen if she is some other pony, I guess.” “Oh, don't forget heard,” added Fluttershy. “Oh, ah, well, sorry strange... pony? I didn't mean to.” “Well I thought you may have held a grudge fro- ah, ah, achoo~!” said Inn letting out a fiery sneeze that engulfed Spike. “Ahhh~” he yelled. Inn laughs. “That's not funny Inn. You could have hurt Spike,” said Fluttershy, shocked at Inn. “No I couldn’t, see.” Inn lifts up her head and flows out a mighty flame. Inn's flame was large enough to hit nearly a third of the books and the second floor. “What are you doing?!” Twilight asked, trying to shield herself from the flames. “Eep!” squeaked Fluttershy, as she ducked. The flames died fast. There was no damage. “See. I can't do fire,” said Inn with a smile.
