The bookshelf glowed, and sparked, and rippled with ever-growing magical malfunction.
The violet glow on the second book faded, reappearing on the next book over. In the process three sparks jumped from one book to the other with loud bangs.
The bedroom door opened, and a unicorn with dark purple hair and a coat about midway between purple and pink walked in. "Hey, Twilight?" Starlight Glimmer asked. "Would you believe that Sunburst decided to pay me a surprise visit the same weekend I decided to visit him? If we hadn't both had our trains lay over in Canterlot I don't know what might have happened! So we flipped a bit, and it came up tails, so we both came back here, and-"
Starlight's chatter stopped as she took in the glow of the bookshelf above the bed, the empty bed itself, and the last magical experiment Twilight Sparkle had talked about with her.
"SUNBURST!!" she shouted, bolting from the room.
The rippling and sparking magic settled down somewhat, but the glow remained.
Heh. If I didn't know that you are driving this story to a conclusion, I would think that Twilight's about to have a couple of friends join her on her adventures.
Good news: Somepony knows something's gone wrong.
Bad news: It's Starlight.
I'm not saying she'll make matters worse, especially not with Sunburst involved. But I don't see her making it better very quickly.
Last changeover, we only saw the light and one spark, presumably for Hornsparker. Assuming the same pattern, there should only be two this time, for Hornsparker and Maresden. Who is the third spark?

To be fair, Xipe Totec also moved between books.
Good to see Daresden didn't die though, heh...
It'll be a shame to see this go when it does. But it's gonna be quite a while until then, I feel!
OH THANK GOODNESS SOMEONE FIGURED IT OUT. Boy I hope they can get her out if there before we have ten protagonists all sharing the same head or something 😅 Would be super interesting if they ended up inserting themselvesinto the story to try and pull her out! Or maybe if they read along theyll play a nattrration role or be able to communicate? Oo Im looking forward to seeing how this continues!
11302972 Absolutely not at this point. Five (well, technically six- the Hamster Princess books are for young readers, so I'm going with the first two books of that) at most.
