Chapter Twenty Five: Just Another Day
{Third POV}
Alduin (now as a dragon) was hanging out at the top of Twilight’s castle, just thinking.
’The hell was that thing that possessed Gale? And more importantly, when will it return? I sensed that thing’s power, and only saw a fraction of what it should have. Something that powerful can’t be destroyed that easily.’ Hearing the flapping of wings, he turned and saw Twilight flying towards him.
“Hey Alduin.”
“Hello Twilight. How was your day?”
“Pretty good! I mean, first I told my friends how empty the castle feels, but then Spike took me out to relax the whole day, and when I got home my friends had fixed up the castle to make it look amazing! They had dug up the roots of the Golden Oaks library and used it to make a really good chandelier. Then they added their own personal touches to different parts of the castle.” Alduin nodded.
“Yes I saw that. I also saw when you fell asleep at breakfast and waking up with a pancake on your face.” Twilight blushed and looked away.
“Shut up.”
“What? You looked adorable.” Twilight just huffed at him, causing Alduin to laugh. After a second or so, Twilight smiled and joined in the laughter.
“Anyways, what’d you do today?”
“I was at a funeral.”
“WHAT?!”
“Someone that I meet not to long ago risked his life against something that had threatened the whole multiverse. He had a funeral, which I went to.”
“I-I’m so sorry.”
“It’s not your fault Twilight. Besides, he died protecting those he loved. I think he’ll rest easy knowing we survived.” Twilight hugged Alduin around his neck, to which Alduin replied by lifting up a wing to hold it against her. After a moment or two, the hugged was stopped and Twilight looked at him.
“Are you going to be alright?”
“Yes, I think so. But, I don’t believe he’ll be dead for long.”
“What? Why?”
“There’s too much left for him to do. His main mission still remains, and I highly doubt that a certain displacer is going to leave it that way.” Twilight nodded.
“So, are you doing anything tomorrow?”
“No, why do you ask?”
“I was wondering if you wanted to maybe go to the park? And dinner later on?” Alduin thought for a moment, then smiled.
“That sounds wonderful.” Twilight smiled as Alduin nuzzled her. The sun had already gone down and it was starting to get late. “Well, I suppose it’s time we go to bed.”
“Yeah I’m getting tired so I’m going to hit the hay.” They flew down and entered Twilight’s castle. The Twins came flying down the hall chasing each other.
“You can’t catch me! You can’t catch me!”
“Yes I can! Yes I can!” Alduin caught both of their tails in his mouth, stopping their fun.
“Aw Dad! We were having fun!”
“Come on you two, it’s time for bed.”
“But we’re not tired!”
“Ah, not buts. It’s getting late and it’s past your bedtimes.”
“Aw.”
“Come on.” The Twins sighed in defeat. Then, Plague got an idea.
“Wait! Can I sleep with Twilight tonight?” Amnesia seemed to catch on with the plan.
“Oh! Me too!” Alduin looked at Twilight. She thought for a moment, then smiled.
“Sure, they can stay with me.”
“Yea!” Alduin let them go and the Twins fused with Twilight. They said their goodnights, and Twilight walked into her room. After brushing her teeth, she slipped into bed and relaxed.
“Good night Twilight.”
“Night Twilight.”
“Good night you two.” Twilight then fell asleep. After about an hour of waiting, Plague spoke up.
“Are we good?”
“I think so.”
“Then let’s go!” The two unfused with Twilight and attempted to sneak out the door. To make as little sound as possible, they became dragon ponies. They looked exactly like Epidemic did, but they were the size of foals and Plague had a green outline instead of red, and Amnesia had a purple one. They were about to make it to the door when.
“And where do you think you two are going?” The Twins both froze and slowly turned to see Twilight awake and looking at them.
“Um, we’re going to the bathroom?”
“At the same time?”
“Yes?”
“I don’t think so.” The Twins sighed in defeat.
“Okay, we were going out to play.” Twilight smiled.
“Do you know how mad your father would be if he found out about this?” The Twins shook their heads. “Well I think he would be very disappointed.”
“You’re not going to tell him are you?” Twilight thought for a moment.
“No, but only if you two come back to bed.”
“Okay.” They walked back to Twilight and hopped on the bed, snuggling next to her and closing their eyes. Twilight draped a wing over each of them and kissed the top of their heads.
“Good night Twilight.”
“Good night Twilight.”
“Good night you two.” She then laid down and, using her magic, pulled the covers back over them all. Because they felt so comfy, the Twins only fused a part of their bodies with Twilight, leaving out the rest to stay with Twilight, but also being able to not have to worry about the three hour rule thing. Whatever the case, the Twins slept happily in what they considered a mother’s embrace.
