//------------------------------// // Split Personality // Story: STA Extras // by KingNyroc15 //------------------------------// "So why did you need my help?" Soren asked Twilight. The purple unicorn called her friend to the library late in the day. "Princess Celestia sent me a new spell to try out. I was hoping to use someone who could help me if something went wrong." "You do know that sounds pretty flawed, right? If something happens to me, how could I help?" "Ok fine! I just wanted to see your reaction." "I can't wait to see it myself. Let's do it." Twilight nodded. Her horn glowed with its normal purple aura and swirled toward Soren. It revolved around his body, illuminating him with a light green outline. The spell felt normal for the first few seconds...then he felt like his body was splitting apart. "Uhh...Twilight?" "You'll be fine. Apparently slight pain is normal." "Not very reassuring." He gritted his teeth and groaned to numb the pain as much as possible. After a few more seconds, the spell finished with a snap of pain. Soren's vision was black at first but refocused on Twilight. She had a strange look on her face and wasn't looking at him. "Did it work?" Soren asked with a bit of strain. "Uhh, yes." Soren sat up and turned around. There was another pony in the room. White coat, black mane, pale-rainbow gems on nice flanks... Did I really just think that? Soren thought. He face-hoofed. Why do mares have to be so cute? Wait.. "Is that me?!" he gasped. Twilight merely nodded. The other Soren sat up, groaned, then turned to look at them. "Oh look. Another me," the mare commented. "Well aren't you a strapping stallion." Male Soren laughed while Twilight face-hoofed. "She...she even flirts like me. Haha. So, Twilight, what was the spell supposed to do?" "It was created to show a pony their true selves, or at least their desired selves. It also portrays you as the opposite gender." "With the way she's acting, I'm sure she'd be desired in more than one way." "Oh stop it," female Soren giggled. "I look just like you. In all seriousness, how am I so different?" "Well Soren is..." Twilight paused to think. "He isn't this flirtatious. He cares deeply and is usually the hero in many cases." "You know how I feel about that word, Twilight. I guess if I were to be single and away from danger, I might be this flirtatious. I find it fun to flirt with Rainbow sometimes." "Well now you get to flirt with yourself," fem-Soren said with an intimate look. "Uhh, Twilight, c-could you leave us alone for a second?" "I am not leaving you two in the same room together." "Awww, that's no fun," the two moaned simultaneously. "Is that really what you want to do with another you?" "Oh come on, Twilight," male Soren said. "I can't help it. There's a female version of me that's just so...fine." "Soren!" Twilight paused. "Uggh, look...just go walk around Ponyville for an hour. I'll send a letter to Celestia telling her that the spell was a success and that I need to know how to reverse it." "We don't need a way to reverse this," female Soren said. "There's so much I can do." "In more than one way," Soren added. He put a hoof to his chin in thought. "If you and I spend the night together, isn't that just called master—" "I don't need to hear that!" Twilight exclaimed, cutting him off. "Just go see what everyone else has to say about two Sorens being in Ponyville." "Fiiiiine." Both Sorens walked to the door, male Soren opening the door for his female counterpart. She smiled and trotted past him, brushing her tail under his chin on the way out. Twilight noticed it, and Soren turned towards her. "You're the one that wouldn't let us be alone." He shut the door. ------------- Chroma was on his way to Twilight's library to rent a book of spells to enhance his collection. He was very surprised to see two white alicorns walking away from that direction. Chroma had to stop them. He looked back and forth between the two before uttering the most important question. "Knowing you, did you two...you know?" "Twilight didn't let us," male Soren pouted. "Well that's no fun." "That's what we said!" the two said together. "So my eyes weren't deceiving me," Rainbow said as she randomly landed next to Chroma. "Two Sorens, and one's a female." She smirked at female Soren. "I've only tried mares once or twice. Wanna add another to that counter?" Male Soren laughed. "Oh my~. We only have like fifty minutes before Twilight wants to reverse this." "More than enough time." "Especially for the fastest mare in Equestria. Pleasedontkillme," Chroma added quickly. Rainbow raised an eyebrow at him. "I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that." "Chroma." Everyone turned to look at the approaching Shayden. He stopped in his tracks near the ginger unicorn when he saw both Sorens. "I was going to ask for your help on something, but I see that you are distracted by more interesting matters." He looked between the two ponies. "Did you two...?" Chroma leaned towards Shayden. "Twilight didn't let them." "Probably for the best. That would be idiotic of them." "Are you serious?" male Soren said. Everyone, including Chroma, looked at Shayden, expecting him to be joking. "What? Do you really want to spend a night with yourself?" "I would," Rainbow said. "Me too," said female Soren. "Same here," Chroma added. "Are you all serious?" Shayden asked. "Could you really pass up an opportunity like that?" male Soren replied. "Seriously," Chroma added. Shayden tilted his head up in thought and put a hoof to his chin. "Hmm." He said nothing more and walked away. Chroma watched his friend leave for a bit before turning back to everyone else. "I don't know if that was a no or not." "Neither do I," male Soren said. Rainbow then asked an important question. "So are we still going to spend some time together?" "We still have about forty-five minutes. Ehh, why not?" Female Soren gasped and grabbed Rainbow and Soren. "Yes!" "You all have fun with that," Chroma commented as he began walking away. "You could join us you know," Rainbow said. "As tempting as a four way is, that would feel too awkward. I'll see you two later." "Where were we, ladies?" male Soren asked. Chroma shook his head with a smile. Inner-self spell...I could totally see Soren as a flirt. It seems like he already became one. ------------ "There...finished." Twilight reversed her spell, and Soren was one pony again. Rainbow was in the library with them this time. "I wouldn't mind if Soren flirted more." "I could. It's pretty fun, especially when I make Twilight blush." "Shut up," the purple unicorn said, blushing slightly. "You two were being very inappropriate." "I'm sure if I was the Doctor it wouldn't be that inappropriate." "Hmph." Twilight trotted away upstairs, leaving Soren and Rainbow to laugh together and lean against each other. (End)
