Chapter 11
I spread my wings as I appeared in the empty night air. It smelled faintly of recent rain and the grass below glittered in the moonlight, but the sky was clear.
It was a summer night and I rose on silent wings towards the top of the castle as I put an invisibility spell around myself. Every cast of magic caused my head to throb ominous and that last one made my vision kind of wobble.
So no more magic for me.
I circled up to land on the highest spire, setting down soundlessly before I looked around. I could see Ponyville a couple of hundred meters from the castle. Dark and asleep. Good little ponies slept during the night. Which if this was Nightmare Moon wouldn't happen. It would all be night.
Scratch one off the list.
No banners. No occupying soldiers on the streets.
Not the Storm King.
...Nor any invading army actually. Most would have done that sort of thing to keep control. Evil Cadance could maybe do it anyway. All will love me and despair and all that.
Best not let my guard down too quickly.
There was one spot of light I could see, a balcony about half way up on one of the outer towers. Somepony was still awake.
Spreading my wings, I quietly took to the skies once more, circling down to land on the railing of the balcony, keeping close to the wall. Invisibility or not, best keep out of sight if possible.
“-en the Storm King sent an envoy to Canterlot to negotiate our surrender if you can believe it-"
Midnight.
..Or I suppose here she would just be Twilight. No, too confusing, she'll stay Midnight in my head. Until she says otherwise.
"Did he truly expect that to work?"
Luna!
...No. Not Luna.
At least not my Luna. My Sky. She was far away. So far away.
I felt my ears droop, but I took a slow and deep breath, forcing them back up again. I can do that later, I need to focus now.
...And lay down, my head really hurt.
Buck it, if Midnight was comfortable enough to be telling the other Luna about what happened while she was away, things couldn't be too bad. I quickly moved quietly across the crystal towards the open door and looked inside. Luna, Celestia and Midnight were all on a large and overstuffed couch by the fireplace.
I quietly entered the room and jumped up onto the armchair to the side, settling to lay down and letting my invisibility spell fade away.
Nopony noticed.
"Agnelia almost ran back to her ship after Page talked to her," Midnight explained, "He refused to say what he told her, but apparently it was effective."
"It was nothing special," I said, "Mostly I just explained what would happen if they kept threatening Equestria."
Oh, hey.
I didn't get smacked with a sun this time. Didn't even consider that possibility until afterwards. Glad that didn’t happen.
What I got instead was three funnily identical startled squeaks and everypony in the room spun to look in my direction.
"Page!" Midnight exclaimed and jumped off the couch, quickly moving over to me, "You should be resting!"
"I'm fine," I said, "just a headache."
"You were bleeding from the head and have a severe concussion!" Midnight said firmly before she hesitated, "...Page, what do-"
"We're in your home universe," I told her, "Already figured that much out. I just had to lay down before it happened involuntarily."
Midnight nodded and frowned, "You haven't eaten anything since we arrived, you should eat."
"Tea?"
"No caffeine," she said firmly before she frowned, "We don't have any meat or fish, but we do have fruit. I'll have somepony get us some. Better for you than anything else we have right now."
I nodded, looking towards Luna and Celestia, forcing a small smile, "Blank Page. Nice to meet you."
Celestia nodded, "The honor is ours. Twilight has been telling us of your world, it sounds amazing."
"Thanks," I said and shifted a bit against the chair, "...Would you mind if I sleep a bit? So tired."
"Sleep," Midnight said, brushing a feathered wing across my bandaged head, "I'll have some food for when you wake up."
"Mango. Or salmon."
Midnight giggled softly, "Maybe, I'll try. Now try to get some sleep."
Dreamless sleep followed.

Good thing nothing catastrophic happened in midnight's universe
Cadance and Discord watch the scene though a looking glass (hah).
Cadance: I know our previous efforts to further Pagelestia have met rather... explosive ends.
Discord: Putting it lightly, yes.
Cadance: But I really feel like this could work!
Discord: I'm not sure. Celestia is Celestia, regardless of universe. We don't even have all the progress with our Celestia to fall back on.
Cadance: That's exactly why it could work! She's fresh, new, untainted by previous less than successful shipping attempts! ...She's exotic.
Discord shifts uncomfortably, looking for a anything else to talk about. He suddenly has a thought.
Discord: Hey, couldn't we use this portal to bring him back? Or at least tell someone where he is?
Cadance: Shh, shipping first, saving later.

Well, that we know of.
I'm getting the distinct impression that time here is not in sync with the home universe.
Luna: "Sooo... My alternative self got this Stud for herself?"
Celestia: "Lucky her, we could need a productive Alicorn Stallion, at least for a hole day."
Luna: "He is a Thestral, it would be a hole night long."
Celestia: "Suddenly eternal Night don't sound so bad~♡"
Luna: "I propose a Alliance between us once he is awake: General Knowledge, Technology, Culture-"
Celestia: "Stallion Sausage..."
Luna: "-Race knowledge about Changeling and-"
Celestia: "Foal service for Royalty!"
Luna: "Me,Twilight, Cadance-"
Celestia: "Why do i get to go fourth?!"
Luna:" Our mother Faust and finaly after we all 4 has a second go at him... You"
Celestia: "Whhhyyy?"
Luna: "...1000 Years heats without Stallion..."
Celestia:"... ... ... O.k. ... Fair enough..."
Celestia:"Awww... We have to wait for him to wake up until we can ask him for... Advanced Politics in the bedroom..."
Luna:*Snickers*
Celestia:*What is so funny?"
Luna:*Fluffs up her Chest Fluff*
Celestia:"That is sooo not fair"
Luna:"Huzzza, Dream snuggels"
Celestia:"Your cheating!"
Luna:"Ha-Haaa! Princess of the
Night & Drrrrreams~♡"
Celestia:"Nooooo..."
*Cadance Teleport in*
This universes Cadance:"Royal Princess snu-snu sence is tingeling!!!"
Celestia:"Luna is cheating and Snu-Snu up that alicorn Stud in his dreams!"
This universes Cadance:"... Clever Girl... You might say: She is the mare of his dreams?"
This universes Discord: "This is where the fun begins!"

You forgo that Luna is sharing him with Sunset.
Page:
Midnight:
...What?
Page:
Well I am royalty and that should count for something right?
*Page points towards Sweet Apple Acres Farm*
Page:
Maybe we could demand the locals for a tiny sacrifi--OW! 
It was a joke! A joke!
Midnight:
You're not eating Applejack's farm animals...and YES! She will notice a chicken missing!
Page:
Fine fine fine *eyes shifting to the Everfree forest*
Midnight:
No Page. Fluttershy lives here too remember? You'll have to wait until we can obtain some fish.

Mortals are dust in the wind. When one is imortal than mortals are like short time flings.

Windy:
...Welp. Those ideas are taken. *throws my notes away* Guess I'll make a joke about Page's stomach or something..
Discord:
HA! Your students are taking over!
Windy: Oh hush you...but I am proud of them. They're a little too excitable but still proud!
11293494
Don't the Cantetlot castle has meat stocked for Griffons etc? By royal decree all meat and Mangos belong to us!

Since Page is in the canon universe, I personally going to limit everypony in said universe outside of Page and Midnight to what was confirmed in the TV show proper. (Unless Hiver adds something)
They are different characters and a different world now so its easier for me if I treat them as such.
Blank Page, chew toy of the multiverse! I was going to comment that sleeping with a concussion is a bad idea, but apparently that's a myth so long as the injured person is coherent. Lucky he wasn't hit by a sun this time or he very much wouldn't be.
One jackboot today:
Every casting of magic caused my head to throb ominously
So hopefully in the next few days/chapters we'll find out how long Midnight was away from her dimension. With what she endured in Page's dimension will of course help to protect her Equestria.
Though Page may be married, I'm sure his Luna won't be too mad with him if he left a few Alicorn mares preggers...
As much as I appreciate short chapters -> short wait time, I’d rather have longer chapters, like at least 2k words each. Each chapter just feels hollow when it’s this short. Anybody else agree?

I think the myth rightly stems from wounded soldiers where if a wounded guy falls asleep he's probably not getting back up
11293427
There's either a bunch of inuendo there or a bunch of spelling mistakes, can't tell which
11293353
they've either solved the storm king by themselves (so basically without twilight, canon celestia had to do something for once) or time hasn't progressed that fast since its been like a couple of years for midnight and probably a few weeks for the main universe which could be very very bad for Nocturnis
11293678
Yep, feels too short. The last two chapter could have easily been one.
Before that the last 3-4 could have been 1.
It feels like I'm getting into it and then it stops. The chapters don't have a satisfying conclusion.
11293678
Yes totally
Page is like Solid Snake. He just needs to use Cardbord boxes more...
11293950
Why not both?
