Twilight's Seven Days (Part 2)
I came downstairs the next morning for breakfast. Spike must have gotten up before me again, so he was likely already making something. Of course, I was initially confused when I saw a completely empty kitchen. That was strange, where did Spike go?
Then I saw the note on the table again. Oh right, he's in Appleloosa.
"With my friends." I added sourly. Whatever, that wasn't a big deal. I can manage to last a couple of days in this library on my own. In this library that seemed a bit empty, though that could just be the kitchen.
Damn it, my indigestion is back! I wasn't going to stand for this. I was going to find a drug store and get some antacids. Take that, nondescript chest pain!
I wasn't too keen on skipping breakfast, so I just ate a frozen waffle from out of the freezer. Meal properly eaten, I went out to the drug store and got my drugs. The pain was gone by that time, but I was ready now. The next time my chest pain starts up, I'm taking it down with extreme prejudice.
Next up for consideration was what the day's activities were. I was already out and about, so maybe I could take a look around. I could explore the town a little, since I didn't actually know that much about it. I dropped off the antacids and picked up a few bits in case I found a store I wanted to check out.
I wandered aimlessly, turning down unfamiliar roads and reading various signs I found. It turned out that Ponyville had a vast residential zone. Most of the buildings I saw were houses of some kind. Very few were businesses themselves.
My wandering eventually led me to the vicinity of Carousel Boutique. Ah, fancy that. Maybe I could drop by and hang out for a little? Oh wait, she's in Appleloosa. Never mind, then.
That waffle came back from the grave to voice its displeasure at my stomach. At least that must have been what happened, because my chest hurt again. I cast my Least Object Calling spell to summon my antacids.
Plonk!
That was not a box of antacid tablets that fell before me. No, it looked suspiciously similar to my house key. It was then I realized I forgot to cast the spell on the box first. Damn, it looked like I was going home.
I walked back home for the second time that day, but the pain was gone when I got there. Funny, it seemed my stomach didn't want me leaving the library that day. Well I already went outside a couple of times that day, so I guess my day was over already. I didn't want to antagonize my irritable stomach, but I still had the bulk of the day to go through.
Now, what could I do to pass the time? Read? I looked at the shelves of books around me, dismissing the idea. How many times would I have to fall back on that plan in the future? Let's make it interesting now that I had the house to myself.
Screw it, I'm practicing transmutation. I'd like to get used to a human body again pretty soon, so I sat in the center of the room and cast the transformation. Once again, only a single limb was replaced. I still needed more practice before I could do a full transformation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 4
The day was off to a great start when I checked the mail. Aside from the usual assortment of bills and advertisements, I found a letter from the gym. I tore it open and read it.
Dear Twilight Sparkle,
We are writing to inform you that your membership has been revoked for-
I crumpled the letter up and chucked it at a wall. Fucking beautiful. I should have figured starting a fight in the gym was a bad idea. If only Tail Chaser hadn't made for such an easy target...
If the gym was no longer an option, how was I supposed to pump iron? I guess I could buy my own equipment, but how would I go about doing that? Perhaps there were fitness magazines somewhere in town that had some stuff I could order. Right, I'll do a little practice, get some lunch, and shop for a catalog or something.
First things first, I charged up my horn and cast the transformation. My right foreleg predictably morphed into the familiar purple arm, but I made a pleasantly surprising bit of progress as my left foreleg followed suit. I smiled at my imminent success. As difficult as these transformations were, I was making quick work of their mastery.
---
I was seated on some outdoor furniture outside the restaurant my friends and I shared our first group meal together. It was odd how these seats were constantly in the sun, yet they never seemed to get any warmer. No matter, as long as I stay comfortable.
I placed my order for some minestrone soup and I waited. That was the worst part of any dining experience, so too bad for me that I didn't have anything to distract myself. Lamenting the fact I didn't bring any books or anything, I got lost in my thoughts. I've been here for a while now. I've made some significant progress since my arrival. To think that I couldn't even read magic just three short months ago would almost make me chuckle at my own inexperience.
My experiences have changed me, as well. For the longest time, I thought of friendship as something unimportant, and now here I was as someone who exemplifies its ideals. Strange world, but it was even stranger to me how mundane life in Ponyville became. Sure, there was the occasional dragon slumbering in the caves or a crazed deity looking for trouble, but it was mostly just like living in a common rural community with ponies instead of humans. It was times like this that I had to remind myself just how crazy my life was.
The waiter brought me my soup and placed it on the table. Good thing too, because I was getting restless having to sit there with nothing to do but muse over current events. If I had paid any attention to my surroundings, I would have noticed a beige aura on the salt shaker just a moment ago. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way what happened to it when I turned it over my soup: the loosened cap fell right off. Salt poured unrestrained into my soup, saturating its flavor to an inedible degree. I pulled it back and examined the shaker curiously.
"Ha Ha Ha! Vengeance is mine!" Yelled Tail Chaser, who was hiding behind the sign. He began running away, cackling with glee.
Realizing what just happened, I stood up screamed my dissatisfaction. "You son of a bitch!"
I would have chased after him, but eh, why bother? He was already part way down the street! Screw that. I sat back down and motioned the waiter. "Another bowl of soup, please."
Right, things like that just showed how different things here really were. Juvenile antics like that were only commonplace in Equestria, as usually these kinds of guys just get a bunch of their buddies and gang up on people. This was a strange world, but it was nice.
You know, aside from the dragons and the mad deities and such.
I kind of like Equestria. Its common problems were easily solved, its big problems were solved with friendship, and I had an easy job. This life is pretty sweet. Too bad I would have to leave it behind, huh? It's not really my lifestyle I was worried about, but rather my friends. Wouldn't they miss me when I'm gone? I didn't want to upset them like that, but I wouldn't have much of a choice. I could break away from them, making every possible effort to end our friendship, but that comes with its own set of unique problems. Poor Twilight would have to take over again, and she suddenly has all these mares hounding her for actions that aren't her own. Sure, she'll be getting that either way, but at least I can get her praised for actions she can't remember instead of loathed.
I wonder how she would react to having all this new muscle-mass? I'd pay to see that. Would she continue to exercise to keep up her new athleticism?
My mind wandered back to my friends. How would they react to "my" sudden change? I'm surprised Spike still thinks I'm really Twilight, but how would the others feel about her? I'm sure they'd be initially worried about her, but the confusion would pass. Perhaps Twilight would contact the princess and sort this all out, letting her stay in Ponyville and "rekindle their friendships". When I'm gone, I'm sure everything in Equestria will be just fine.
Then I came back to the question that would haunt me for many months: would my friends really miss me? After a time, I had to accept that they wouldn't. They wouldn't even know I'm really gone, so why would they worry? Twilight's still there, and that's all that matters to them.
As if depressing thoughts weren't bad enough, my indigestion came back. At least I was ready for it this time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 5
I let the duration of my spell wear off again, returning me to my default pony form. While it was true that I could continuously renew the spell's effects, I was focused on getting a full transformation before I focused on longevity. Let me tell you, this spell was taking it out of me. The Flight spell was one thing, but modifying my current body's features and attributes into a human's was surprisingly difficult.
I grabbed the bottle of cider on the table next to me and took a big drink. Yeah, I knew it was only nine in the morning, but I didn't care. Never too early in the day to enjoy a drink. Again, I knew that casting spells under the influence was probably a bad idea, but I'd only worry about that when I had a buzz. Until then, bottoms up.
I put the bottle back onto the table and took a deep breath. I powered up another casting, and let it loose. I stood taller than before, likely because I was now standing on two human legs. Awesome, not only did I have two arms, but I also had legs too! Now that's progress!
I looked over myself now that I had four human limbs. I looked really weird. I still had a pony torso and head, so I looked like the dumbest chimera ever. I thought myself fortunate that no one was here to see me like this.
I sat back at the table and waited for the spell's duration to crap out. I took another drink of my cider. Hey, anything to pass the time, right?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 6
When I woke up the next morning, the clock assured me that it was ten o'clock. I stretched and got out of bed, feeling the groggiest I've been since I first began working out.
I stepped heavily down the steps on the staircase, all sense of energy vacant from my actions. I sat in the kitchen with an opened carton of orange juice, but no cup. Who's going to notice or care that I was drinking from a carton? Certainly not Spike, who was in some apple town somewhere.
Mmm, apples. Screw orange juice, I have cider. I levitated a bottle of apple cider out of the fridge, popping it open and taking a nice refreshing sip. Ah, that's good stuff. Note to self: alcohol is good for indigestion.
I took another eager sip and kicked back with a satisfied sigh. Hell, why would I do anything today? I was so relaxed, that I could just take a nice long nap. In fact, let's do that. I placed the barely touched bottle on the table and closed my eyes. Productivity was overrated, anyways.
---
When I finally opened my eyes, I felt really thirsty and I really had to use the restroom. I thought that was weird, for I could have sworn I only slept for about half an hour. I looked up at the clock to see that it was actually three hours later. Huh, lunch time already.
I levitated some lettuce out of the fridge and munched on that for a while as I went into the living room with my cider. Lunch properly eaten, I took care of business and returned to the living room for my magic practice. A flash of magic later, and I found that I could now transform my head. Sweet, I had a human face again! I looked even weirder than before, but that was the cost of magic, wasn't it?
I sat down at the usual table, which held two stacks of comics I've been reading as I waited for my transformations to time out; one stack was for the stuff I've read, the other for stuff I was getting to. I opened up an issue of Chrono-mancer and took a quick drink of my cider. I nearly gagged at the warm crap. Ugh, I shouldn't have let this sit out for so long. However, getting another bottle from the fridge would require effort, so I summoned up my determination and took another drink.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up with the sun in my face. I turned away from the blinding light, only to realize that I wasn't in a bed. To that end, I fell onto the floor from my chair. I gave both the sun and my chair disapproving looks for their insubordination, though I thought it was strange that the sun was blinding me like that. Usually, the sun only comes through the living room windows in the morning. I glanced at the clock on the wall, finding that it was eight. Okay, it couldn't be eight o'clock at night, because then it would be night out, so I guess it was actually the morning?
I yawned lazily and crawled back up to my chair. I didn't remember dozing off, but I guess I must have. Weird, I haven't been this bad about my sleep schedule since I last lived alone.
I looked over at the stack of comics I was going to read, also finding one comic already opened on the table. I chuckled at the unfinished comic. Mighty Mack's Adventures must have been pretty boring for me to fall asleep without first reaching the end. I put it off to the side and raised another comic for my reading pleasure.
Approximately four hours later, I finished all my comics. I leaned back in my chair in thought. I had nothing to do. I took a deep breath for clarity, but I still didn't have any idea on what I wanted to do. Go outside? Nah, there's nothing out there I wanted to do. Besides, there were an awful lot of group activities out there I couldn't do. It sucks being on your own sometimes.
I could go for a good chat right about now. Too bad I had no one to speak to, and no internet to accommodate me. Oh well, looks like I'm staying inside again.
Maybe I had some more comics to read? I walked upstairs into my bedroom and searched the comic stash for anything I haven't read yet. I looked at book after book, but I've already read them all. I sighed. We had no more comics, but I did have a sizable selection of fiction downstairs. I turned to walk downstairs, but I caught myself when I looked into the mirror. My pony self stared back at me from the reflective surface, and I wondered if I could fully change myself. With nothing better to do, I figured it was worth a shot. I fired up my horn, and morphed once more.
I looked at myself in the mirror, and I saw success. I've done it, I now had completely human anatomy. For the first time when I transformed, I got a good look at myself. Twilight had a cute face, almost perfect. Her purple eyes were shining inquisitively, matching my own curiosity. Her hair was messy, like it hadn't been brushed for a few days (which was fitting, since I gave up on that a few days prior).
Then my eyes drifted downward, and heat rushed up to my face in quick order. You see, the thing about transformation magic is that it wasn't like anime; clothes don't form on their own. That being said, I was standing in front of a mirror, in the body of a naked girl. I smacked the side of my head and looked everywhere except the mirror. Curse my shortsightedness! Why didn't I consider that I wouldn't have anything covering me? The worst part was that I wasn't the owner of this body, and I wasn't about to ogle a borrowed body. That would just be freakin' creepy!
As embarrassing as this situation was, it only got more so. You see, I lost track of time by that point, so I didn't realize a week had passed. Little did I know that my friends have already let themselves in my house (not a big deal, it's a public library) and were coming upstairs to check on me. The only indication this was happening was when I heard Rarity approaching and calling for me. "Twilight? Are you home, darling? The living room is a mess, and-"
She stopped in the doorway, stunned. We both stared at each other for an awkward moment. I thought about what I should do in that situation. Of all the options I could use, I opted for the most natural: I screamed and covered myself with my arms. "AAAHHHH! Close the door!"
Baffled, Rarity shut the door. She spoke to me from outside. "Twilight? Is that you? What happened?"
"In a minute!" I called. I frantically looked around the room for something I could use to cover myself. I still had about ten minutes until the spell wore off, and Rarity was outside waiting for me. Not wanting to keep her waiting, I spied the entrance to the bathroom. I hurried inside and grabbed a towel, wrapping it around me. I briskly walked out, but then I saw my hair in the mirror. Aw man, I was a mess! I grabbed a brush and hurriedly brushed it out. Satisfied that I looked okay, I opened the door to the bedroom and went downstairs.
My friends were gathered down there, now looking up at me with concern. Rarity, being the first one to see my new form, was the first to speak up. "Good afternoon, Twilight. May I ask what happened to you?"
I sat in an open chair and smiled sheepishly. "Yeah, I've been practicing transformations while you were gone. This was the first form I wanted to try."
"Well what was with that freakout? Why'd you yell at Rarity like that?" Rainbow demanded.
"And why're ya wearin' a towel?" Applejack added.
I rolled my wrist while I tried to answer. How would I explain nudity to ponies? "Well, this form is pretty embarrassing. I just felt like I needed to wear something."
"So somepony is in the market for an outfit?" Rarity deduced with a gleeful smile.
Well, I was planning on being in this form as much as possible. "Uh, yes?"
Rarity giggled excitedly at the news. "Marvelous! I've always wanted to make a dress suited for other creatures! I can't wait to get started!"
"Hey hey, I didn't say I wanted a dress. I only want some clothes." I said, curbing her enthusiasm.
Rarity pouted. "You're no fun, darling."
"So why that form?" Spike asked. "Do you feel more at home like that, or what?"
Whoa, that was a good guess. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that Spike was still suspicious of me. But as I said, it was just a lucky guess. I answered his question carefully. "I don't feel much different, aside from bipedal movement. I just thought turning into a human like this would be pretty easy."
"You thought it would be easier than turning into an earth pony or a pegasus?"
Damn, more good questions. Luckily, I had some excuses. "Either case would be too easy. There's not much to change, and I already have a spell that replicates pegasus flight. I figured changing into another species would make a better milestone."
"Can you do a magic trick?" Pinkie questioned.
"I... don't know. Let me check." That was a good suggestion. After all, the sole reason I'm in Equestria at all is because a human wizard sent me here, so it's likely that I still have access to magic. I closed my eyes and concentrated on channeling my power. As I thought, I could feel the power surge in my chest and flow into my hands and feet. It was exactly like channeling power into a unicorn's horn, except I now had four conduits instead of one. I cast a simple light spell into my left hand, causing it to glow slightly.
I only felt my magic flowing through my arm, but the magical connections to my other limbs weren't affected at all. I cut out the light spell, and did something I haven't heard of since I learned magic: channeling two spells at once. I cast the light spell in my left hand again, but then I cast an earth moving spell through my right foot, bringing up a small stone brick from the floor. I levitated it with my right hand and brought it closer for me to catch it.
"My, such fast spellcasting!" Rarity praised. That brought a smile to my face.
"Wait, whatta ya mean? Can unicorns only do magic so fast?" Applejack asked to clarify.
"That's right. Unicorns can only cast one spell at a time, which means we usually do each slowly and methodically. With Twilight's human body, it seems she can use many spells at once!"
"Wow, cool!" Pinkie exclaimed.
"Oh my, what a wonderful accomplishment!" Fluttershy congratulated.
"Thanks everyone." I said, blushing at their praise.
Rainbow Dash hovered closer to me. "Say, can you change other ponies into weird stuff, too? Cause I've always wondered what it would be like to be a griffin."
I chuckled at her request. "We'll find out together. For now, I'm more interested in what you all have been up to."
"Oh, not much." Rainbow said unconvincingly. "We just went to Appleloosa and stopped an all out war. No biggie."
"Bullshit, you're making that up." I declared in good humor.
"It's true." Applejack vouched. "The buffalo were gettin' mighty upset that the folk in Appleloosa were settlin' on their lands, so we were tryin' to make 'em get along."
I leaned forward with interest in the story, but my transformation took that time to crap out on me and turn me into a pony again. When the light faded from the reverting process, I was off balance and fell on my face. I growled into the floor, the towel covering my head. As often as crap like this happens, I'm surprised my face isn't more reminiscent of a waffle iron.
"Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked.
"Dandy." I said, muffled by the floor. I pushed myself up, when I noticed that I was getting hungry. "Hey, I skipped breakfast this morning. Have you all eaten yet? If not, we could go out for some lunch."
"That sounds fabulous." Rarity said.
"Yup! Ahm hungrier'n a worm in an orchard." Applejack agreed.
"I'm always hungry!" Pinkie proclaimed.
"What are we waiting for?" Rainbow asked. "Let's go!"
We all got up to do just that. We left out the door to the library, everyone involved enjoying a happy reunion from a week of separation. As for myself, I've never felt better. For the first time in a week, my chest didn't feel so heavy, rather feeling light and unburdened.

Tail Chaser better have been kicked out to since he was harassing another patron when Twiliclone interfered.
I wonder why her chest hurts when they are gone?
Another chest pains. Universe finally found something wrong and start the process of repairing herself?
Ha! Consequences. Excellent.
Good job. Too many stories let the main characters wander around with no consequences for fights and things. Lazy writing.
Huh, I'm surprised that Twilight didn't go out and talk to anyone else. Maybe Zecora would have liked some company. You don't have to be just friends with these 5 mares.
Maybe Rainbow has a good lead on some gym equipment. HA! Imagine the real Twilight coming back to discover her basement lab is now a weight training room. Hilarious!
I do wonder what new muscular Twilight looks like. I can't picture it.
Thank you! Yay update. Omnomnom.
Chest pains?
Oh my.
*sadistic glee*
Could it be that Twilight... likes those mares after all?
I think the chest pains are reacting to a feeling of 'betrayal' related to the elements of harmony, since 'Twilight' is feeling sad that she was not invited by her friends, even though spike sabotaged her.
So the chest pain was a physical symptom of her missing her friends?
5905265
That's what I think, since harmony and friendship are actual, real forces in this world, and the elements of harmony mean that Twilight and friends are more connected with these forces. Twilight felt the feeling of betrayal.
This was a nice chapter, especially the part with Tail Chaser.
There's a minor error here.
Humans? When did Rarity ever learn about those creatures?
5905330 You ever hear of sasquatch, otherwise known as bigfoot? How about the Loch Ness Monster? I imagine humans are similarly known in Equestria: as famously fictitious beings. Still, I'll fix the dialogue so that no such guesswork is needed.
5905341 Alright then, that makes sense. Although, a mention about humans beforehand would've been less confusing, like in a book about pony mythology or something.
5905330 they are probably mythological creatures like pegasi and unicorns our in our world.
Since 'Twilight' is an Avatar: the last air-bender fan, and her human-transformation spell gives her 4 magical focuses...
Is she going to tray and do an 'avatar state' and 'bend' the 4 elements in combat or something?
5905341 Especially since you already outright stated that humans are mythological creatures. Its Lyra's favorite mythological creature after all.
Can't wait till she finds out Twilight made so much progress.
Or not, considering that Twilight is unlikely to want that.
5905372 Well, he can already set things on fire... but I dunno. We'll have to see.
Maybe the chest hurts relate to the real Twilight in some way?
It’s actually a heart attack caused by the steroids Twiliclone is taking for her gains.
5905400 Too much magic can be dangerous. M'aiq once had two spells and burned his sweetroll.
Maybe the chest pains are something with the real twilight, or magic buildup?
5905748
He's feeling heartache because all his friends are currently gone. It's not that obliquely phrased.
I found myself clicking the upvote button, forgetting that I had already upvoted.
Well done!
*Maybe I had some more comics to read? I walked upstairs into my bedroom and searched the comic stash for anything I haven't read yet. I looked at book after book, but I've already read them all.*
She can't have read the WHOLE LIBRARY in just seven days, or is just "comic books" she is talking about?
Also, she mixed taking drugs with drinking, won't that mess her up? Or she just sleeped it off?
Now that she no longer can go to the gym, she could walk a few miles everyday and or help with farm work.
5905748 Nah. It's clearly just an average case of congenital heart disease.
5905372
Well, she can already do earth and fire, but I think fire would burn the human limb she uses, since unlikely unicorns horns, hand and feet are not made to channel magic but to be used as hands and feet.
What if she is really is Twilight and her "human life" is a result of a dare she did to Discord when she faced him? Something like "Even if I forgot who I was and became a totally different pony I would still become friends with the others?" Then once Discord is defeat she gets her pony memories back O_- And yes, if unicorns can do time spells, why not Discord? All he has to do is turn Twi into a human male baby and sent her to Earth.
5905068
The owners didn't see that, they just saw Twi starting a fight. But considering the guy name is Tail Chaser, he will probably end being kicked out eventually. Or he was kicked out because he also was part of the fight.
5905100
The real Twi never went to Ponyville, so she would just be confused to wake up living in a tree library and being friends with five mares she doesn't know. And even way more confused to wake up as an alicorn princess in a magic castle in Ponyville.
5906176
The danger of taking drugs with alcohol is that alcohol speeds the delivery of the drug, making a normal dose, which is normally absorbed over a period of time, hit all at once. This has an effect on the body like taking many times whatever dosage you took, resulting in overdosing from innocuous amounts.
But you can't OD on antacids. Depending on what Twiliclone's likely taking the most likely result is that the alcohol flushes it from her system faster than normal. Worst cast, she feels constipated for a while.
For a moment i was thinking the chest pain was the first signs of estrus, since the stallions ere starting to make moves on her (like, light pheromones have some effect on them, not enough to consciously notice at that point).
Interesting that humans have multiple "channels" to cast, but it also means they burn magic that much faster too. So human form may be good when its time to nuke the hell out of something.
Good story so far.
5906305
There is a lot more to it than that, so take care not to misinform people. Some drugs metabolize completely differently when combined with alcohol, such as Ritalin, which becomes an ethyl-based substituted amphetamine with a much stronger pharmacological effect than it would normally have. Alcohol is also a GABA agonist itself (as well as a whole lot of other things) and may overstimulate the production and reception of many neurotransmitters to the point of harmfulness if combined with drugs acting on the same profile. It also burdens the liver, which may be enough to cause permanent damage in combination with other substances, especially if the metabolites themselves are poisonous as well.
Drug interactions are really complex and unpredictable; you can never quite say what two drugs will do in combination until someone tests it.
5906812
5906305
5906176
Alright, I'll need to step in here. As the author of this story and the one responsible for the messages my writing might send, let me do the most responsible thing by saying never do both drugs and alcohol together. With that out of the way, I think I might set your minds at ease thusly: Twiliclone didn't drink alcohol while the antacids were still in his system. He took the antacids, then he drank alcohol the next day. Never have I mentioned him doing both on the same day, so let us assume that the antacids were already out of his system before he began drinking.
5906812
Former human Twi ( She became too much like the real Twi to really call her fake anymore) Took a big risk, she mixed Alcohol, drugs and magic. She is very lucky nothing really bad happened.
And yes, trying what's basically a new spell (Humans don't exist in Equestria, save as mythological creatures, so I don't think anypony ever transformed into one before without going to another world), is something canon Twilight would do. Actually, canon Twi is not very creative with magic, she basically copies it, not create new spells. With Starswirl spell all she did was finish it, and her shield spell in season five is basically her brother's city shielding spell only concentrated in a small area. FH Twi practicaly created new magic, as she did not copy the human transformation spell from any book.
5906857
That's what I said, I just went into some detail why. Mixing alcohol with unfamiliar drugs is typically a recipe for having one hell of a very bad afternoon.
5906224 well there were plenty of witnesses. He better be kicked out or I'm gonna have issues with that gym.
How come she isn't asking why they left for a week without inviting or even telling her? That's what I would do. Everyone would then figure out that Spike tricked them all. Definitively a plothole.
5906997 Hold that thought.
5907037 I'm holding it like a baby, rocking it back and forth, but it won't stop crying! Help me!
5907061 You'd better believe it! Every time I see how many likes my story has, I hop around my living room and dance like I just struck oil!
Spike really need a smack down.
5907556
To be fair...
A) He is right.
B) He doesn't' know is not FH Twi fault.
C) We don't know what happened to Twilight Sparkle, she could be in danger, tortured, slowly being erased from existence...
D) The Real Twilight is basically her big sister, how would you react if you suspected your sister had been replaced by pod people?
5907626 Get straight to the fucking point, I don't wandering around sabotaging stuff, because it will cause worse things to happend.
The feels were much emotional, wowweknowmemes.com/generator/uploads/generated/g1384365715449045756.jpg
5905202 honestly i still hope they somehow speak about it, and Spike is unmasked. I mean i want that they noticed what Spike did there.
5906997 yeah that is actually the only thing that interessted me right now, i mean everything was good, this is just the only thing i really want to happen.
Maybe on chapter, Spike is doing actually to much, and he has to move out for a while, i just mean i am suprised that he still wants to live with spike together, which is being a jackass towards him.
Good chapter, but while i like the chestache, and her feelings that probably caused it, i don´t want to discuss anything of it right now.

FM Twi has not noticed Spike being a jackass, in fact she still thinks Spike has not discovered her yet.
5905068 Emotions maybe?
Elements being weird?

Spike tried the 'straight to the point' method and Celestia wasn't able to see through False Twilight. Unless he wants to look like a crazy preacher shouting in the streets how Twilight has been replaced by an alien look-a-like, Spike has to use subterfuge and sneaky tactics. Not sure if False Twilight would send him somewhere else, but that thought has to of passed through his head at some point.
And it's usually when worse things start to happen that holes appear in the lies. This will result in False Twilight either being forced to tell the truth or find some way to discredit Spike's claims 100%. Just like what happened with Celestia.
5908013 Then how come I see his method as not so straight to the point?
getting Celestia involved isn't exactly straight to the point...also...plot twist if he is true Twilight
5907940 yes, but she could still ask why they didn´t asked her to come with them.
Wait...i think there were some moments, when Twilight was a bit bugged because of Spike, and well this is maybe a good enough reason for her to be really mad, if they should notice Spike did it intentional.

Considering that Twilight Sparkle barely saw her parents for years when she became Celestia's personal student, Spike last chance would be to write for Shinning Armor to visit Twilight. But even then Twi acting weird could be seen as jealously because she doesn't want to share her brother with Cadance. Remember the Canterlot weeding? Ponies will just rationalize her acting weird, unless FM Twi ends doing something very un Twilight like.
And Twi acting as if she doesn't know that old rhyme and dance Cadance and Twi do in the Weeding episodes? Well, Cadance used to say it when Twilight was a young filly, since by pony standards she is an adult now, it makes sense she would not want to do it in front of her friends.
FM Twi saying that she used to be a colt? Her shame at being a closet lesbian.
FM Twi drinking? It ended becoming true.
FM Twi saying she hates magic? She no longer hates it.
FM Twi becoming a purple skinned human? Hello, she is the element of magic. Her trying new spells makes sense.
Also, FM Twi seems quite talented in magic, she has learned several spells in just a few months and even created a new one, the human transformation spell. While normally it takes years of study to learn magic, heck Sweetie Belle has trouble with levitation and that's a basic spell all unicorns can do.

Well, she had been drinking, taking drugs and was depressed, and then she was too happy to wonder why they had left without her.
5907079 Have another one, and a favorite too, I really like how this story follows the episodes without being a transcript of them.
huh, you'd think Celestia would've mentioned Shining Armour or Cadence as a test.
Then again, Hasbro literally pulled those two out of their ass for the season finale so what have you.
Shit, I can't believe I already caught up with this. Only discovered it this morning, and it isn't even halfway into my work day yet. One of the best stories I've read here recently! I literally can't think of any criticism, it does absolutely everything right for me, all the time.
