Twilight peeked at them from under the hoof before groaning again at the confirmation that there were, in fact, two Nightmare Moons standing there. It had been such a good plan: Make some friends, show the ponies that she wasn’t evil. Luna had been the first to approach and even befriend her. In hindsight, it wasn’t that surprising. They had shared a mind and body for quite some time. What was surprising was how fast Luna’s love for pranks had rubbed off on Nightmare. No pony in the castle was safe. This was their newest game: One would disguise themselves as the other – nearly perfectly – and force their victim to figure out who the real one was. Had they not always woken her up in the middle of the night, the prospect of deconstructing and studying the spells they used would certainly make her giddy. As it was, she only wanted to study one thing: the magic of sleep. “Moony, please, just come to bed. We can do this tomorrow. Or never again. Either works for me.” She held no hope that Nightmare would comply, but maybe that she’d forget or at least unconsciously shake her head or answer. Instead, both alicorns shook their heads in perfect synchronization. “That’s not creepy at all,” Twilight grumbled before resigning herself to her fate. She climbed off the foot of the bed and stood in front of the Nightmares. Visually, there was no difference between them. Each hair on either’s coat seemed to be in the exact same position, their manes and tails both flowed in perfect sync, and even their breathing matched the others. “If you do not want to continue, then simply admit defeat and we shall leave,” spoke both Nightmares, again in perfect sync. “Now that’s creepy.” Twilight walked between them, trailing her wings along their backs. Bodies feel exactly the same, so no illusion this time. Full transformation? That’s new… “But no,” Twilight said as she returned to her place in front of them. “I have a few ideas.” Slowly, she raised her muzzle until it was inches away from the right Nightmare’s. She watched for a reaction the entire time. If it was Luna, she’d certainly pull away, if it was Nightmare she’d surely protest the display of affection in front of another like she always did. Or they would do nothing but stare ahead without even the slightest increase in their breathing. “Well then,” Twilight sighed as she turned and moved back to the bed, swaying her hips far more than was necessary. “I seem to find myself in quite the advantageous situation. I’ve had a few, shall we say… experiments in mind for a while now.” She rolled onto her back in the middle of the bed and lit her horn. “And it would seem,” Twilight grinned, her voice becoming sultry as she deposited an alicorn on either side of her. “I have finally found the test subjects I need.” Surely her marefriend wouldn’t accept this. With the way she reacts to a simple nuzzle in public, surely she would break and reveal herself. Twilight kissed the alicorn on her left deeply. It was returned whole-heartedly and they only broke when breathing became a problem. Surely Luna would break and excuse herself to allow them privacy. She turned to the Nightmare on the right and kissed her as well. The exact same response was given. Of course, hypotheses are often wrong. -------------------------------------------------------- Sometime later, three alicorns lay flushed and panting on the bed. Twilight regained her senses first and grinned. Turning to the Nightmare on her left, she moved to kiss her. Before their lips could touch she raised her muzzle and kissed her on the bridge of her nose. “You’re Luna,” She stated. Black faded to blue as a grinning princess Luna rolled to her stomach. “How did you know?” Twilight nuzzled in to Nightmare’s neck, smiling. “Your tongues.” “Our tongues? But her transformation was exact! I made sure of it,” Nightmare grumbled into Twilight’s mane, eliciting a giggle from the smaller alicorn. “I didn’t say the physical aspect of them, now did I?” Twilight answered cryptically before turning to Luna and lighting her horn, a much different grin splitting her muzzle. “Now then, since you two deemed it necessary to wake me at such a late hour, I think I’ll finally get those transformation spells out of you. Luna, hold still. This won’t hurt… much.” A blue blur escaped through the balcony doors at a speed that would make Rainbow Dash jealous. “She was fun,” Twilight chuckled as she turned and laid back into Nightmare’s hooves. “But I’m surprised you let that happen.” “Consider it a gift.” Smiling, Nightmare kissed the top of her head. “She is not the only one who can see into a pony’s dreams.” With a blush and a nervous chuckle, Twilight nuzzled the black alicorn’s neck. “So you planned this?” “No, but I am nothing if not adaptable, my love. Though I do hope my better half has not stolen-” She was cut off by a deep kiss. Twilight brushed a hoof along Nightmare’s cheek as she pulled away and stared into her draconic eyes. “Never, Moony.”
