Dark Is Sexy
Twilight Sparkle stared at Twilight Sparkle.
Twilight Sparkle stared at Twilight Sparkle.
Sunset Shimmer, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Spike stared at Twilight Sparkle and Twilight Sparkle.
"Well," Sunset said at length. "This is awkward."
Twilight's jaw worked soundlessly, her deer-in-the-headlights stare magnified by her thick glasses. "Buh...whuh...HUH?!"
Spike hopped off her lap and cautiously approached Princess Twilight. He sniffed at her curiously. "Huh," he said. "Well, you smell kinda like Twilight, but...you also smell kinda like a horse."
Princess Twilight's gaze fell upon Spike. "S-Spike?!"
Spike scratched behind his ear.
Sunset stood up and cleared her throat. "Umm, Twilight? Meet...Twilight Sparkle. You know, the other Twilight Sparkle."
Princess Twilight blinked, her brow wrinkled in thought. After a moment, her eyes widened. "Of course!" she said, slapping her forehead. "There are versions of all my friends and Princess Celestia and Princess Luna here, and so many other ponies I know...of course there'd be another ME here!" Tugging nervously on her hair, she smoothed out her skirt and stepped forward, offering a hand. "Hi, Twilight! I'm, well...Twilight!"
Twilight stared up at her, then slowly, numbly stood up and shook her hand. "Uhh...hi," she said. "Sorry, I'm...really confused here...why are there two of...me..." Her brow furrowed as she frowned in thought. She looked over the girls spread around her. "Waaaaaait a second. THIS is why everybody here at CHS seemed to know me, isn't it? Because of..." She looked back at Princess Twilight. "Because of you..."
"Yeah, pretty much," Pinkie said.
Princess Twilight sat down next to Sunset, spreading her skirt out around herself. "Umm, so...I get the feeling a lot has happened since I was here last."
"Boy, I'll say!" Rainbow Dash laughed. "You totally missed a repeat of the whole magic of friendship versus teenage girl turned raging demon thing!"
"Yeah, except this time you were the demon!" Pinkie said. "Well, she was, not you."
"And Sunset Shimmer saved the entire world!" Fluttershy added.
"I didn't do it alone," Sunset said. "I couldn't have done it without all of you."
Princess Twilight blinked. "Wait. WHAT?"
The girls took it in turns to tell her all about the Friendship Games, their world's Twilight, her magic-stealing device, the random magic that started popping up all over CHS, and ultimately, Twilight's transformation into a dark angel of destruction.
"So then she's blowing stuff up left and right and tearing open these portals to Equestria, and Sunset found her little gizmo and did that thing you did with your crown, only instead of ponying us all up and doing the rainbows and lasers thing, it turned her into a..." Rainbow trailed off, frowning. "Into a..."
"Phoenix unicorn angel!" Pinkie said brightly. "And then she was all like MAGIC BEAMS everywhere, erasing all the portals, and then there was like, five seconds of an epic magic duel, and then she just...won."
Princess Twilight stared, slack-jawed. The other Twilight bowed her head and looked away, shame in her eyes.
"It really was remarkably similar to the night of the Fall Formal," Rarity said.
"Except I was consumed by bitterness, jealousy, and hatred," Sunset said. "Twilight here, well...she was just drunk on power and a thirst for knowledge."
"It's true," Twilight said miserably. "I got so caught up in wanting to understand everything that...I let myself be bullied into doing something I knew was wrong, and...and..."
Princess Twilight moved over to her doppleganger and enfolded her in a hug. "It's okay," she said softly. "It's alright. I think...I think I understand."
Twilight sniffled and wiped away tears. "Thank you," she said.
After a long, awkward moment, Rainbow Dash coughed. "So anyway," she said, "Twilight here actually had a way more awesome demon form than Sunset did."
"Rainbow Dash!" Fluttershy chided. "That's...really not..."
Princess Twilight sat back, a curious look on her face. "Really?" She straightened her blouse. "I...honestly can't picture myself as a demon..."
"Well thanks to the Internet, you don't have to!" Pinkie said cheerfully, pulling out her phone. After fiddling with it for a moment, she handed it to Princess Twilight, who watched in wide-eyed fascination as a video of the battle between her double and Sunset Shimmer played out. "Wow," she said. "That...that IS pretty...impressive." She shuddered. "And a little creepy."
"Kinda like seeing yourself turn into Nightmare Moon, isn't it?" Sunset asked.
"Yeah..." Princess Twilight shook her head. As the video ended, she scrolled down, reading the comments. She blinked several times. "What..." A blush crept over her cheeks.
"What's up?" Rainbow asked.
"Some of these comments," Princess Twilight said, her face growing more crimson.
"Lemme see!" Pinkie took her phone back and looked over the comments. "Oh, yeah. Wow."
The others passed Pinkie's phone around and read over the comments. Reactions ranging from deep flushes to raised eyebrows to furious scowls appeared on their faces. When the phone finally passed into Sunset's hands, she rolled her eyes and snorted.
"Yeah, pretty much what I expected," she said. "I've been listening to everyone talk about what happened that day. After everything calmed down, well..." She handed Pinkie back her phone. "Kids can't stop talking about that day. They try not to say anything around any of us, but I hear stuff. They're calling Twilight's corrupted form 'Midnight Sparkle', and, well..." She chuckled. "She's...kinda popular with the boys around here."
"You don't say," Rarity said dryly.
Twilight, who had not gotten her hands on the phone as it went around, looked up, blinking. "What...are they saying?"
The others looked around at each other nervously. "W-well," Fluttershy stammered.
"Ah dunno how t' put it," Applejack hedged.
Pinkie rolled her eyes. "The guys at CHS think Midnight Sparkle was really sexy," she said.
Twilight blinked, then blushed furiously. "S-sexy? R-really?"
"Well, it makes sense," Rarity said, pulling out her own phone and calling up the same video. "There is a certain...dark, seductive appeal."
"Like a succubus!" Fluttershy piped up.
Everybody stared at her.
Fluttershy shrank into herself. "What?" she said meekly. "I study mythology..."
Twilight ducked her head, her cheeks burning from the intensity of her blush. "S-succubus? Did I really look...?"
The other girls looked at each other and shrugged. "Yeah, kinda," Rainbow said.
"A bit, yes," Rarity agreed.
"You totally sucked that bus!" Pinkie added.
Now it was her turn to draw odd stares from the other girls.
"Oh COME ON!" Pinkie cried, throwing her hands up. "I've been waiting YEARS for a chance to get to use that line!"
Twilight looked down at her lap. "I don't know if I'm comfortable with the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life being some kind of...adolescent sex symbol."
"You're absolutely right, darling!" Rarity said firmly. "We must correct this by making the real you an adolescent sex symbol!"
Twilight looked up in alarm. "N-no!" she cried, waving her hands around frantically. "I don't want to be a sex symbol of any kind!"
"Oh, but you have such a pretty face, and a nice body, and beautiful hair...there's just so much there for me to work with!"
Twilight scrambled over to Sunset and hid behind her. "Help me," she whimpered.
Princess Twilight seized one of the girls' phones and watched the video again. "You know," she said slowly, "this gives me an idea for next Nightmare Night."
"What, going as Midnight Sparkle?" Sunset said, laughing. "Yeah, I can see that."
Princess Twilight grinned. "Actually, I was thinking more becoming Midnight Sparkle. Just as a prank. Bet I can really freak out Princess Celestia."
Sunset blinked. "Wait, what?"
Princess Twilight's grin took on a slightly manic, disturbing edge. "I owe her big time for that stunt she pulled at the last Grand Galloping Gala..."
"Uhh...Twilight?"
"AND the gala before that..."
"Twilight."
"And that whole thing with her stupid pet bird from a few years ago, I haven't forgotten about THAT..."
Sunset sighed. "Don't forget to take the journal with you when she banishes you to the moon..."

"But occasionally... I wanna talk about meeee."
6478475 Gah, thanks for catching that. Fixing now.
Somewhere out there, there is a fanfic about this just waiting to be written.
The idea of Princess Twilight intentionally taking on the Midnight form to prank Celestia is awesome. Neat fic.
It is too late for that.
My guess was she secretly plays Darkstalkers. Morrigan and Lilith for the win. With Fluttershy!
Moth just makes some of the most interesting stories. Even with such mundane topics.
6478518 Someone should write a story about that.
You do Slice-of-Life so well. I hope you have more soon. Great job.
6478614 Uhh...they don't get cutie marks in the movies. This is just speculation based on Friendship Games.
Something I just noticed..
You have 25 likes and 3 views.
3 views.
How does that even work? Glitch in the system I tells ya!
Also, I have a feeling this is gonna hit the feature box.
Its a nice sweet slice of life Mr. Moth. I genuinely enjoy how you interpret the Equestria Girls, they are much more relatable. Not to mention extremely funny.
6478630 Glad you enjoy it! I really love writing Equestria Girls stories, and I really love wriitng slice of life. It's been kind of my thing ever since I was introduced to Azumanga Daioh all those years ago...
As for the views counter...the "story views" counter doesn't update in realtime like the likes/dislikes bar. It only updates every 40 minutes or so.
More?
Sometimes, I think that the fanfics end up being BETTER than the movies and episodes.
Knew there would be fanfictions in this...
So nice to see a fic from you about the aftermath of the new movie, Moth!
really like these two shorts. But I feel like Sunset needs an update on the nature of Cutie Mark magic as we've seen changes in the characters when their Cutie Marks are messed with by Starswirl's unfinished spell and the Spell of Sameness
6478488 Wow, someone else who remembers that song.
6478501 I'm sure it will happen soon.
I actually really like this and would love to see more of it
6478880 Don't forget that cutie marks are open to interpretation. Some more than others.
It's Incomplete... Oma God, it's Incomplete...
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I love that there was a pause before "impressive"
Would I be wrong by guessing there will be a chapter dealing with "Girl Talk" among the "Glorified OCs" from Crystal Prep?
You know: Ironic Name, Passive-Agressive, Rainbow Dash 2.0, Head Banging and What's-her-Face.
This was a fun chapter, Moth. I'm glad to see that you're... sorta beating that block you have. Excellent work
The only thing I dislike about this is that all of the ideas here could be made into their own stories, but now they won't be. In other words, the only thing I don't like is that there isn't more of it!
6478542 This is just another fan fic idea just waiting to be written.
6478488 To be quite frank, I really don't like country. But Toby Keith? Damn, that man can sing! Tis a great song you referenced!
I think Pinkie needs to lay off doing the "Bus stop".
I WANT TO SEE THIS. THIS WOULD BE AWESOME. IF YOU DON'T MAKE IT, I WILL!!!
6478880
It's implied that Starswirl's spell was a destiny changing spell. The spell swapped the non-Twilight Mane 6's destinies, and that caused likely both the cutie mark swap and the behavior change.
To make it not confusing refer Equestria's Twilight as Princess Twilght.
Now we just need to mix the two together... All that Grixis goodness...
Also, interesting how we've never seen the Human World's Sunset...
6479541
mmmmmmmmmm Grixis.
Though I always did prefer Esper.
This...I like this. Didn't know I wanted a casual EG fic, but now I want more.
Im loving these so far, please continue.
6479590 You...prefer Esper?

6478518
I actually want to read that story.
Princess Twilight's all like:
You've enjoyed trolling me all these years, huh Celestia? WELL SOON ENOUGH, VENGANCE WILL BE MINE! GLORIOUS TROLLY VENGANCE! 
Umm...
She just means a magical transformation, right? Not actually embracing dark magic. Right?
6480079 Who knows...
6480116
You know what? I think I'm down with it either way.
Well, now I have ideas for when Season Finale rolls up and the Loops finally catch up with the continuum.
Quote. Of. The. Week.
Hahahaha, I know exactly where this is going.
Yeah... I can see Twilight and Luna both doing a fake dark transformation, just to put the wind up Celestia. Yes, it could also backfire big-time. That said, the Troll Princess should not be allowed to have it all her own way!
Just from the title Alone. you need to add. "They talk about boys toys and video games" c: XD
All Hail Princes Midnight Sparkle !!!
6478501 It's called MLP Time Loops.
You win solely for the summary. I'm going to take a look at this.
