Twilight Sparkle
Twilight Sparkle was surprised, and more than a little puzzled, when she woke draped in sheer opulency of silk sheets in a bed not her own. This was not the only surprise as a pair of arms wrapped around her all of a sudden and the slurred words of someone asleep spoke in her ear.
“Love y’r sexy bod.” the voice said, almost whispering, a stallion by the voice’s timbre.
The voice’s comments caused a furious blush to rush to Twilight’s cheeks, partly because she was not used to such whispers, but also because of the situation. As a rather bookish mare, Twilight didn’t think her body was that great, certainly not toned like Applejack or Rainbow Dash, but likewise she didn’t think her body was bad, more “just average.”
As pleasurable as the comments were, Twilight had to try to figure out where she was, to understand what happened... how she got here and how she had no memory of getting here. Her thoughts were interrupted by the voice again speaking:
“You’re so beautiful, I want you so much.”
If she thought that the blush before was bad, this one bade her think that her face would burn only a little more if she were to put her face in a fire.... though it wasn’t unpleasant to hear.
“You’re wonderful, Jen.”
Her flush ended instantly with the mention of another mare’s name, the mood instantly and violently killed. He wasn’t thinking of her, but somepony else.
What was pleasure twisted and for some reason she felt like crying… it was so unfair, that nopony was interested in her, that she was unwanted as a mate.
Twilight suddenly broke down, feeling tears rolling down her cheeks, she cried herself to sleep.

Twilight woke to a sudden movement on the bed.
Turning over she saw a creature had pushed itself into a sitting upright position… a moment later it occurred to her it must have been the ‘stallion’ in the night/early-morning. — The face was round, covered with a short beard ans the hair was a bit on the long side.
“Hello?” Twilight asked, wanting to make sure.
“Ah, hello.” The same voice from earlier replied… “I wasn’t expecting you in my bed.”
“But you were expecting me?” Twilight asked, trying to understand what was happening.
“Yes, I was.” the man replied, “I’m Douglas Reynholm, and you are my wish.”
“Your… wish?” Twilight asked, gasping in a breath… maybe she had been summoned but the name ‘Jen’ was attached to her — maybe she was wanted. Like that.
Then it struck her as odd that she should be pleased to think of that sort of relationship with this creature and not another stallion.
“Yes, you see I’m a member of the church of Spaceology, and I wished for you last night.” Douglas explained, though what this had to do with sharing his bed she didn’t know, “Thanks to Spacestar Ordering my wish was granted.”
“Spacestar Ordering?” Twilight echoed, wondering how all this was going to end up.
“Yes, you see it taps into the very nature of the universe using the twin scientific principles of ‘Star Maths’ and ‘Whishy Thinking’ —” Douglas paused, allowing Twilight to absorb the information.
What was all this? ‘Star Maths’? ‘Wishy Thinking’? ‘Spaceology’? How could these be scientific, how could these be tied to the nature of the universe? — This wasn’t Pinky’s ridiculousness, this was making the universe itself to make no sense.
“Yes, the granting of my wish for a unicorn-pony is yet another success for Spacestar Ordering.”
Twilight felt her eye twitch.

Twilight was exhausted after learning about Spaceology, and Spacestar Ordering, and Star Maths… having her entire understanding of the universe overturned was draining on a mental and emotional level… and that, in turn, drained her of physical energy.
“You look worn out.” Douglass said, offering her a glass of water.
She took it in her magic, drank, and gave it back before offering a “thank you”.
“It’s quite alright, I myself found my mind blown like that just two weeks ago.” Douglass reached over and grabbed something in his hand, pointed it toward the far wall, and a box sprang to life with pictures and sound, “How about a bit of Tele?”
After the advertisements finished, the Unicorn was surprised to see herself on the television… what was happening? It looked like it was the setup to one of her adventures with her friends… and then the television broke into song.
Twilight felt everything that remained in her world-view shatter.
