Twilight receives a package from an unknown pony. Inside she finds a dress fit for a princess. The dress comes with a feature: a pair of wings. What will she do when she finds out that the dress has a power that almost gets her killed?
(This is just a small story that I came up with. I don't know why this idea came to mind. I haven’t had this proof-read yet. So you can be the judge on the writing.)
Twilight receives a package from an unknown pony. Inside she finds a dress fit for a princess. The dress comes with a feature: a pair of wings. What will she do when she finds out that the dress has power that almost gets her killed?
Twilight casually flipped through the pages of the book she read in her room. She was a little bored, nothing to do, nopony but Owlowiscious around to keep her company. Spike was off on royal Canterlot business for something that Twilight was not informed about.
All of a sudden, Twilight heard a knock at the door. She closed her book then walked down the stairs to the door. She grabbed the knob and pulled the door open. She didn’t see anypony around. Strange? Twilight shrugged, closed the door and walked back up to her room.
Before she could get to her table, somepony was knocking at her door again. Twilight turned around, feeling a bit confused, and made her way back downstairs to open the door. She opened the door and saw nopony, again. Twilight stepped outside and looked around. Nopony could run that fast, could they? Twilight shrugged, and went back inside.
Just a few steps up the stairs, more knocking came from the door. With a grunt, she marched to the door for the third time. Quickly opening the door, she said, “Now please—” a bucket of water fell on her head. Twilight closed the door and threw the bucket off her head, then proceeded up the stairs, soaking wet.
Again, more knocking came from the door. Twilight ran back down the stairs, surprisingly dry now. She opened the door hesitantly. She peeked out, looked up to see if there was another bucket. Seeing that the coast was clear, she opened the door fully.
Twilight got hit in the face with a fish that came out of nowhere. She was stunned for a second, then closed the door. She walked back up the stairs, with a hoof over her nose.
As before, there was more knocking at the door for the fourth time. Twilight dashed to the door and ripped it open to reveal Rainbow Dash at her front door.
“Hey, Twilight. What took you so long?”
“Oh, hey, Rainbow Dash.” Twilight looked around her friend to see if there was anypony else. “Were you the one knocking on my door this whole time?”
“Who me? Nah.” Rainbow waved her a hoof.
They stood there, saying nothing. “Uh, well, what do you want?” Twilight asked.
“Oh nothing. I just thought I would come over here and stand at your front door, hoping something might happen.”
“What do you think will happen?”
Rainbow shrugged. “I don’t know. That’s what I’m waiting fo—” she was cut off by a giant box landing on top of her from above.
Twilight didn't bat an eye, she looked to the sky to see Raindrop. “Hey, Raindrop, what are you doing?”
“Derpy is sick. She wanted me to take her shift, so I’m dropping off packages.”
“It looks heavy,” Twilight said.
“Oh, it was. Well, got to get going now. Hope you enjoy whatever it is you got.” Raindrop took off.
Twilight levitated the package inside. Raindrop was right. It was heavy. When Twilight carelessly dropped the package on the ground, she was reminded of her friend who had been crushed by the package.
Twilight checked outside to not see Rainbow dash where she had been. Instead there was a pony-sized hole in the ground where she used to be. It seemed to go far down. Twilight placed the Welcome rug over the hole, and went back inside to see Owlowiscious on top of the box, pecking at it.
Twilight smiled at the owl. “That’s it, Owlowiscious! Use peck!”
It was super effective! The tape ripped, and Twilight opened her package. She was utmost shocked at what she received. She levitated her gift out of the box. Her lips quivered, and her eyes grew wide and watery.
It was a dress, and by the looks of it, a very expensive one. Twilight thought this was another attempt by Celestia to get her to marry Discord. Her tears quickly dried out and she smiled from ear to ear. “Rarity is sure to call me best pony once I give her this dress,” Twilight said. She checked the return address. surprisingly, there wasn’t one. That meant it wasn’t a plot of Celestia’s. This was a gift from… She looked for a name or a tag or even a card. “Who sent this?” She said.
“Hoo,” Owlowiscious said.
“The pony that sent me this dress,” Twilight replied to the owl.
“Hoo.”
“That’s what I want to know.”
“Hoo”
“Can’t you say anything else besides hoo?”
“No.”
“Figures. You are an owl after all.”
Suddenly, a small card fell out of her dress. Twilight hovered the card up to read it. It said Congratulations, and nothing else.
Twilight inspected her new dress; she spread it out to get a good look at it. She noticed something on the sides of the dress. It was the same color as she was. They looked like fake rubber wings. In fact, that’s exactly what they were.
This made Twilight smile. Now she’d be able to play princess more realistically. Twilight had to try it on. The suspense would kill her.
She put the dress over her head, and was able to get her head out, and managed to move her hooves through the leg holes. Now she felt so pretty. She bounced around the room filled with glee. Twilight stopped in front of a mirror and checked herself out, making little poses. “Oh princess Twilight, you look so ravishing,” she mimicked a voice. “What is your secret?”
“Oh, there’s no secret; it’s all natural,” Twilight replied to herself.
She turned to get a side-glance of the dress. The fake wings seemed more real than they did just a minute ago. But just then, her sides felt numb, like she had joints there that she never knew she had. The prickly feeling made her want to wiggle her sides. The wings jerked to life by her urge to move. Twilight jumped in the air at the site of the wings movement in the mirror. When she jumped, it made the wings extend out and she began to float down instead of just falling hard to the ground. She recovered from her shock and examined the wings. It was weird how she had feeling in her sides, but weirder that she could now move the wings at her command. Twilight flapped the—her wings, it was just as easy as using magic if not easier.
She smiled as much as her face would allow. “With this dress, I can be a real princess with workable wings, this is a big improvement.” Twilight had a thought. She now had the powers of a pegasus and a unicorn, but did see have the same power level of an Alicorn? Did it even matter? Of course not. She’s Twilight Sparkle! Instead of running upstairs, she flew upstairs. It was time for her to have some fun…
“It is so good all of you could join me in this fabulous tea party.” Twilight sat at a small play tea table. Sitting to her left was Smarty Pants. To her right was Owlowiscious, with a top hat and monocle. And sitting across from Twilight was a cutout cardboard of Trixie.
Twilight sipped her tea in the fanciest way she could. “Hmm? What’s that, Smarty Pants...? Yes, I am an Alicorn now. Thank you for noticing.” Twilight picked up her spoon with her magic and tapped it against her cup. A few more taps and the cup shattered. “I’d like to let you all know that I’ve always been a princess in the inside; I just now have wings is all.”
Her words were followed by silence.
“It’s a sham sir Spikes-a-lot could not join us, for he’s off on royal duties. This is a great day, for me, and I wish for everypony to be able to praise me.”
Twilight looked to the cardboard Trixie, as if it were talking to her. “...Trixie! You’re saying that I shouldn’t force my subjects into loving me, but instead, give them a reason to admire me?”
Trixie was speechless.
“Blasphemy! You’re a traitor, Trixie! Twilight shot a beam at the cardboard pony, its head was obliterated.
“There. Now peace has been restored. From now on, this day shall be a national holiday in celebration of my mighty battle with the heretic, Trixie. Now, we attack the kitchen; your princess desires sustenance.
Twilight’s conquest over the kitchen was shift, and was met with no resistance. She raided the refrigerator and took many of its treasuries. That night, she dined like the princess she was. But soon she became tired of the game, and decided to go to bed. Twilight took the dress off. No longer having the feeling of wings anymore. She dropped the dress to the floor, and jumped into her bed, quickly falling to a deep sleep.
That night, everything was quiet, except for Twilight’s repellent snoring. The dress laid motionlessly on the floor. On the neck of the dress was a single hair that Twilight left behind. The hair sunk into the fabric of the dress, and was gone.
The dress shuddered a bit. It started to drag itself across the floor. It came to the stairs and made its way down. Once it got to the lower level of the house, it started to move faster. The dress shuffled into the kitchen. It came in contact with the moonlight that shone on it through the window. Then the dress began to shiver and moan. Hooves grew out from the leg holes, lifting the dress off the ground. A lavender blob emerged from the head-hole of the dress. It got bigger and bigger, and began to morph into the head of a pony. A mane grew from the head, and a face was now forming: a pair of eyes, ears, a nose, etc. The fake wings twitched and came to life; stretched out to their full extent. The face and mane were completed. And what stood was a replica of Twilight. It opened its eyes; they shined just like Twilight’s did. The fake Twilight took in a breath of air. She smiled and giggled, “Teehee.”
The rays of the sun peeked into the window of Twilight’s bedroom. She woke from her slumber, feeling all cozy underneath her blankets. It was almost impossible for her to leave the combines of her bed. Twilight loved her comfortable, warm, soft bed. And the bed itself was in love with her too.
“I love you, Twilight,” The bed said.
Twilight smiled and sunk her head ever more into her pillow. “I love you too, bed.”
“Can’t you stay just an hour or two more?” The bed said, hopeful.
“Oh, bed, I would like nothing more than to stay with you. But I have to get up; it says so in my script.” Twilight rubbed her eye with a hoof.
“Well, ok. Then just promise you’ll be back tonight, alright?”
“I promise.” Twilight motioned herself out of bed. The bed sheets held on to her tail, loosening its grip as she walked further away from the bed.
Twilight came to the start of the stairs, and hesitated. She turned her head around to where she dropped her dress. To her surprise, the dress was gone. “Hey! My dress is gone.” Twilight started looking every corner of her room for her dress.
She looked under her bed “You want to cuddle, Twilight?”
“Not now, bed.” Twilight dashed down the stairs into the kitchen, she checked every cubby and cookie jar. She ran over to the bookshelves and looked between the spaces of the books.
Twilight searched high and low, low and high, and low again. But she just couldn’t find her dress. Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind. She thought of who could have taking it, “Rarity!” Twilight stomped her way down the stairs, and ran out the door.
Twilight trotted down the street of Ponyville. Her thoughts full of hate and rage over her friend for stealing her dress. The things she was going to do to Rarity when she gets to her house. One thought in mind was taking her out to a nice, fancy dinner, then set up a meal specially made for her; it’ll be high carb and fattening, but it will look like it’s a tasty dietary meal. Then she’ll laugh, as the meal goes right to Rarity’s flank.
The more Twilight walked, the more she became aware of the lack of ponies around. So far, not a single pony was seen this morning, it was quiet; the only noise was from Twilight’s hoof steps. Soon she forgot all about her plans for revenge, and started to look from left to right for any signs of life. It was just as deserted like when Zecora wore her homemade perfume.
Finally, after what seemed like a minute. Twilight found Raindrop sitting at a table outside the coffee shop. Raindrop was drinking a caramel mocha, and eating a creamed pastry. Don’t know why this is important to mention. It just is, I guess.
“Raindrop!” Twilight called.
Raindrop turned to see the lavender unicorn. Yes… I said lavender unicorn. What you gonna do? Don’t hate the narrator! …I’m sorry; I just had a bad experience with coffee this morning. I ordered a large black coffee to go. It took them about ten minutes to get it, and that made me late. So when I finally got here I find out that they had put cream and sugar in my coffee. That just ticked me off so much. And the worst part was when it spilled all over my lap; it was like jumping into hot-lava. My pants finally dried up, but now they feel like sandpaper. Anyways….
“Hey, Twilight. How are you doing?” Raindrop said.
“Oh, um, fine. Do you know where everypony is at?”
“Yeah, they’re all down at Town Square, something real important is happening.”
“Really? What?”
Raindrop surged. “Don’t know. The reason I’m not down there with the rest of the ponies is because my script says I’m not supposed to know until you come back screaming to me what’s happening.”
“Oh, ok. I guess I’d better go check it out, thanks.” Twilight made her leave for Town Square, leaving Raindrop to her breakfast.
Raindrop watched Twilight for a few seconds before going back to her drink and taking a sip. “Mm, burned my tongue….”
Twilight pushed her way through the crowd of ponies. They were given her weird and shocked looks; it was really strange. She found a small opened area. Her friends stood there, backs turned to her. The only one not present was Rainbow Dash.
Twilight walked up to them, specifically, Rarity, and asked her, “Where’s my dress?”
Rarity didn’t notice for a second, but she did turn around to see Twilight. “Oh, hello, Twilight. You made it just in time.”
Twilight looked around at all the chattering ponies that were waiting for whatever it was that was going on. “What’s going on here? Don’t tell me the mayor is reading us another one of her fanfics?” Twilight said with worry.
“Oh, heavens no, nothing like that, again. This is a special event. The princess is going to make a speech.”
Twilight raised an eyebrow. How could the princess visit Ponyville without her knowing? “What could possible happen that would require Princess Celestia to come to Ponyville?”
“Oh, Twilight, It’s not Celestia who visiting,” Rarity laughed.
“So... Luna?”
“Nope.”
“…Cadence?”
“Don’t be silly, Twilight.”
Twilight was really confused now. What other princess was there besides those three?
Suddenly, Rainbow Dash popped out of nowhere right next to Twilight. “How did I get here…? Oh, hey, Twilight.”
“Rainbow Dash, where have you been?” Twilight asked.
“Shhh, quiet, it’s starting,” Rainbow replied.
All of a sudden, everypony was silent; not a peep or whisper was heard. Then drums and trumpets started playing…. They stopped, followed by more silence. The doors to town hall opened, nothing but a blinding light was visible. Ok, that doesn’t make any sense. If it was a ‘blinding’ light, then how could it be visible? This story already makes no sense, but this little detail just irritates me so much….
A shadowed figure stepped out from the building and gracefully walked up to the podium that was set up. Once the light died out, the figure was now clear to everypony: A lavender Alicorn with a mane like Twilight’s except for the ends that curved upwards, stood in the presence of the crowd. She wore a fabulous dress and a big crown thingy that looked very familiar.
All the ponies bowed before her, all besides Twilight, who stared in horror, confusion, and disbelief.
The Alicorn seemed to look past the crowd, and off to the distance. She gave a lazy smile and waved a hoof to dismiss the bowing.
The crowd of ponies rose from their knees, even though there’s no way they could have seen her wave her hoof since they were facing the ground with their eyes shut.
The Alicorn spoke in a very familiar voice, “My loyal subjects. First I thank you all for coming, though you didn’t have a choice since I’m your princess and all….”
Twilight had finally snapped out of her shook. She stomped her hoof in rage and yelled, “Hey, that’s my dress you’re wearing!”
Her outburst got everypony’s attention, even the Twilight-look-alike. “Well, well, well. If it isn’t my former self, Twilight Sparkle.” The Alicorn gave a devilish grin. “What brings you here to my speech?”
“My dress, that’s what! You stole my dress, you’re stealing my identity; and is that my big crown thingy!?”
The Alicorn only laughed. “This is a tiara. If you were the real Twilight, you’d know that.”
“It’s a big crown thingy! And what are you talking about? I am Twilight. That’s my big crown thingy. And that’s MY dress!” Twilight roared.
The Alicorn shook her head and frowned. “This is my element. This is my dress; and I am, or once was, Twilight Sparkle.” Now… now I am Princess Twilicorn Alisparkle.” She opened her wings for dramatic effect.
Twilight was confused. “Huh?”
“Don’t you get it, Twi? You're no longer the real Twilight, she is,” Applejack said.
Twilight turned to her friend, wide eyed. “No, Applejack, I AM TWILIGHT!”
“Haven’t you seen the new episode?” Rainbow Dash said. “You become an Alicorn princess. So, yeah, she's Twilight now. It’s canon.”
Twilight looked at all her friends, unable to believe what they’re saying. Then she exploded with joy. “I become a princess!” She begins to bounce up and down.
“I did become a princess,” Twilicorn said. “but you’re just an old character that doesn’t exist anymore.”
Twilight stopped jumping with joy. “Wait. What?”
“You’re not supposed to exist anymore. So, my subjects; it is with the utmost importance that we destroy this abomination and restore the canon.”
Everypony around Twilight passed her hostile expressions, even her friends looked to her like they did when they fought the changelings.
“Get her!” A random pony yelled. The ponies all pounced on top of Twilight; soon creating a pile of ponies, then it became a mound. The ponies just didn’t know when to stop.
Twilight popped outside of the giant mound of ponies, thanks to the teleportation spell. “Works every time,” She said. With a jolt, she ducked from a beam that went past her head. Twilight looked up to see Twilicorn flying in the air; her horn glowed with magic and with a jab of her horn, another beam came right towards Twilight. She jumped, the beam almost hit her hooves. With a swift turn, she ran off.
“After her, my subjects; don’t let her get away!”
The ponies at the bottom of the mound got to their hooves and started chasing after Twilight, the rest soon followed pursuit as the pile got smaller and smaller until the last pony was up and started running.
Raindrop blew on her mocha before sipping. She let out a sigh.
The quietness was actually rather relaxing. Most days she had a busy schedule with sorting and delivering mail, or having to move the clouds when needed. Is she a mail mare or a weather pony? I actually have no idea.
Suddenly, Raindrop heard a noise at the end of the street; she crocked her head to the side. It was faint, but she could tell it was Twilight.
Turned out, she was right. Twilight came running out from the corner of the street, screaming like a maniac.
“Twilight?”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!” Twilight screeched, “Ah ah Ah ah AH AHH!” she ran past Raindrop leaving a rush of wind in the pegasus’s face.
“Wha– Twilight, where are you going? Twilight! This isn’t in the script. You’re suppose to come over to me and explain what happened,” Raindrop yelled.
“Look behind you!” Twilight cried out without taking a second to look back at Raindrop.
Then Raidrop’s ear flicked. She caught another noise from where Twilight just came from. Raindrop saw something’s turning on her street. The noise sounded like dozens and dozens of ponies screaming in anger.
She found out it was an angry mob, and it was coming right at her. Raindrop’s ears fell, her mouth dropped, and her eyes were wide with fear. The caramel mocha fell from her lifeless hooves and splattered all over the ground.
Without a second thought, she ran. Raindrop dug her hooves into the dirt and just ran. Her mind was in frenzy; whither it was the caffeine or the shear terror Raindrop had already caught up to Twilight.
She was still a bit ahead of Raindrop, but a quick look back got Twilight to yelp and run even faster. Curious, Raindrop turned around to see the crowd was gaining on them too.
Raindrop yelled in horror then unfolded her wings and took off to the sky. She flapped her wings with intense speed. And in a few seconds she was already in the clouds. Raindrop focused herself to stop flying and calm down. Her heart beaded extremely fast and she was practically gasping for air after the exhausting chase. Or perhaps because of the lack of oxygen in the sky, but who am I kidding, this is Equestria with pegasuses who live in the clouds.
Once she had finally relaxed. Raindrop went to rest on a cloud. She let herself plop on the soft comfortable cloud; she smothered her face in the cloud and gave a muffled sigh. Then suddenly Raindrop lifted her head. The sound of Twilight’s shriek could be hared faintly from all the way up there. Raindrop leaned forward to take a look at Twilight’s position. Apparently, Twilight ran out of the town and by the looks of it is now heading into the Everfree forest. The angry mod didn’t seem to follow her, in fact, they all stopped at the edge of town.
This was insane. Why would the town’s ponies all of a sudden chase Twilight out of town? Raindrop had to investigate. She got on her hooves and dived down to the Everfree forest.
Normally, just flying over the forest would give anypony the creeps. But Raindrop was determined to get the answers. Raindrop braced herself; she covered her face to protect it from the branches, and folded her wings to keep them safe. But there was a small problem with that. Now she was crash landing because her wings were folded in. Raindrop made contact with the ground and received a big fat French kiss from the dirt.
Raindrop spate the dirt out and began looking for something to get rid of the awful taste. She found nothing but bark and grass, until finally she spotted the perfect cure: a caterpillar. It was big and fuzzy; it rested on a branch minding its own business until Raindrop grabbed it by her hoofs and slurped the whole thing in one gulp.
“Awwwww,” She sighed.
Raindrop heard the rustling of leaves coming to her right. She went to inspect the noise and to her relief it was Twilight. The pegause trotted up to the unicorn.
“Twilight!” Raindrop called.
The unicorn turned around not startled at all, in fact her face was pretty expressionless.
“Twilight, are you ok? What’s going on? Why the hay is everypony chasing you?”
Twilight didn’t respond. For a moment they just stared at each other blankly. And then Twilight shot a magical beam at Raindrop, causing her to slam into a tree and fall to the ground.
Twilight stared at Raindrop. “…Geez, Raindrop, don’t sneak up on me like that…. Raindrop?”
Raindrop responded with a snore. She had completely falling asleep. Twilight looked at the sleeping mare with wonder. “Boy, that caffeine sure is a killer.”
Twilight decided to bring Raindrop along. She carried Raindrop using her magic. If there was one thing out of this whole mess that Twilight understood, it was that she had no idea where she was going. She didn’t even no why she chose to go in the Everfree in the first place. The forest was very murky and dark the more she trotted–… huh, what? Can’t you see I’m trying to narrate…? Huh? They did what with my car…? ARE YOU SERIOUS!? Da-uh, I-I have to stop, I can’t continue this chapter…. No, I have to go NOW…. We’ll just make it a two-part chapter…. I don’t care what the author said in the last chapter. My car is destroying a CITY…. I’ll take the heat, but now I just gotta go! *runs out the door*
Raindrops lazily lifted her eyelids. Her head felt dazed, and she felt a constant annoying pain in her side. Her vision became clear, and what she saw was Twilight kicking her in the side.
"Get up!" Twilight said, "we’re here."
"W-what?" Raindrops moaned. She checked her surroundings. They were still in the Everfree forest.
Twilight rolled her eyes and turned away from Raindrops. "Here!" She pointed her hoof to a big boulder in the middle of a mossy path. It looked like the rock was sunk into the ground.
Raindrops slowly got up and eyed the bolder. "...What is it?"
Twilight shook her head, irritated. "Do you remember the time when there were forty Pinkie Pies roaming around causing mayhem?"
Raindrops thought back on that particular day. "Yeah, that was a good day." She said with big grin on her face.
Twilight stared at her for a couple seconds before saying, "Well, this is where they came from."
Raindrops observed the large rock from top to bottom. "They came from a rock? That actually makes sense."
"What—n-no! Ugh! Look! The bolder is covering the entrance to an underground cavern, in there is the mirror pool that Pinkie used to make clones of herself."
"Okay, so wh—" suddenly Raindrops started gagging. Something was coming up her throat, it tickled. She belched, and out her mouth came a blue and green butterfly. It fluttered in the air for a while before flying off. Both ponies stared at it for a little bit before looking at each other.
"Excuse me." Raindrops said, "Anyways, why are we here?"
Twilight took a deep breath, then paced back and forth while speaking, "Twilicorn Alisparkle has turned all my friends and the ponies of Ponyville against me. She's stolen my identity, my element, and worse of all!" Twilight's face scrunched in anger. "She stole my dress!"
Raindrops awkwardly rubbed the back of her head. "Okay, but what does that have to do with the mirror pool?"
Twilight faced the bolder, her horn glowed with magic. "Because she's taken Ponyville as her kingdom, the ponies inside are her subjects." Twilight's magic surrounded the entire rock. With a grunt she focused her attention on lifting the bolder. She flung her head straight up in the air, and the bolder flew into the sky; it vanished within seconds.
"You and me, Raindrops, are the only ones who can stop her. If we have any chance of defeating her and her army, then we need to muster our own force." Twilight took the first steps down into the cavern. Raindrops reluctantly followed her.
They descended down the path. Both had their eyes locked on the glowing pool in the middle of the cave floor. Raindrops looked with awe while Twilight had a hungry expression on her face. They touched the base of the cave floor, and came to the edge of the mirror pool.
Twilight stared hard at her reflection in the pool. "If it's a war she wants, it's a war she'll get."
Raindrops looked at her own reflection, her heart was racing. She was expecting something to happen. "So, how does it work?"
"We just have to say the words of the mirror pool and that will activate it." She said, still looking at her reflection.
"Oh, well, what do we say?"
At that moment Twilight's face motioned from firm to stunned. "I... Uh... well, it goes something like..." Twilight pinched her eyes shut, and gritted her teeth. Her eyes flung back open with rage. "OH, just make me a clone, NOW!" She shouted at her reflection.
The pool responded by faintly glowing brighter. A greedy smile grew on Twilight's face. She reached out with a hoof to her reflection, her hoof dipped into the water to try and grab her reflection's. She jolted a little when she felt a soiled hoof in her grip, but she eagerly pulled the copy of herself out of the liquid. Her reflection accepted the helping hoof, and climbed out. Twilight moved back a little to give herself some room.
Raindrops gaped at the identical unicorns who stared at each other. The real Twilight still had a devilish grin on her face, while the clone stared blankly back at her.
"Yes, it worked! Ah ha!" Twilight cheered.
"That's great!" Twilight's clone smiled. "Uh, what exactly worked?"
"I'll show you." Twilight looked into the pool once again. Her clone followed suit. The pool glowed even without Twilight saying a word. Consistency? What's that?
Twilight and her clone's reflection reached out, and the two grabbed them and pulled them out. Now there was four twilights.
"This is just getting freaky," Raindrops said.
Nevertheless, she stared into the pool, deciding whether or not to try it. "Uhh, one regular clone, please."
And again the pool glowed. Raindrops's reflection reached out a hoof to her, and instead of helping her up, Raindrops jumped back in surprise.
Her clone lifted herself up out of the pool, then gave Raindrops a cold look. "Jerk," she said.
Raindrops went over to her clone who still looked grumpy. “So, you’re my clone?”
“What’s it to you?” The clone said.
“Uh… So, tell me something that only I would know.”
“Your flank is huge.”
Raindrops blushed hard, and stuttered her words, “I-It’s average size. Say something I would know.”
“You’re down right ugly.”
“You’re my clone, idiot.”
“How do you know? Maybe you’re my clone.”
Raindrops stammered, “Uh, T-twilight. I-I think somethings wrong with my clone. Twilight?”
Raindrops turned to see around forty Twilights mumbling to each other. Raindrops's jaw slacked.
“Raindrops!” The real Twilight came out from the crowed of her clones.
"Hey, you only made one clone?" Twilight exclaimed, "don't you know we need as many clones as we can get if we stand a chance against the false princess?"
"I'll kill any pony in my way." Raindrops's clone stated coldly.
"Oooo. I like your aggression. Good enough. Alright, clones! CHAAAAAAARRRRGE!" Twilight shouted while galloping up the path out of the cavern. All the other clones followed in pursuit.
"Time to knock some heads!" Raindrops's clone shouted, flying after the rest of the army.
Raindrops stood in the cavern in silence. "...How is she my clone!" she exclaimed.
~~~
Twilicorn sat on her throne, watching as her subjects do their biddings. In the middle of town square were a couple of ponies chiseling a stone statue of Twilicorn with a menacing expression; a robe, and a scepter with a creepy smiling face of herself as the head.
No pony questioned her authority, because that's how the canon went; the canon was the law.
"Where da white mare at!" Twilicorn yelled.
Da white mare, Rarity, came to her majestie’s side. "You called, darling."
"I need you to draw out greenprints for my new castle, then hand them over to the talking cotton candy so she can bake my cake palace around my throne."
Rarity bowed until her chin touched the floor. “Yes, darling. Right away, darling.” She said, before running off.
“Background pony!” Twilicorn shouted.
“It’s Applejack, your highness.” Background pony said, while approaching Twilicorn.
“Bring me the royal pacifier.”
“You mean this ordinary baby sucker thingy that you got at the convenience store?”
“Yes.”
“Here you go.” Background pony throw the royal pacifier to Twilicorn. Her highness caught it in her mouth, and began to suck on it vigorously.
But then, she stopped. Her ears pick up a sound similar to thunder, only as it got closer did she realize it was the sound of around 40 ponies galloping in her direction. She noticed her slaves—I mean—her subjects heard the nose, too.
From the corner of the street came a herd of lavender unicorns, and two yellow pegasie charging down to the middle of town.
All those unicorns looked just like Twilicorn, except they didn’t have wings, and weren’t princesses.
Twilicorn spat the pacifier out, and got up from her throne, then came down the stairs. The ponies bowed as she gracefully stepped past them. Twilicorn held a firm expression as she came to meet the opposition that gathered around.
Within the herd, ponies were being pushed and shoved aside by one of the lavender unicorns. She came to stand right in front of Twilicorn with a look of vengeance. They stared in silence, their faces were the only words they needed to sa— “Hello, Twilicorn.” Twilight said.
“Hello, former me.” Twilicorn replied.
“Where did you get that dress, from the... toilet store?” Twilight gave a crooked smile. Twilicorn only looked confused.
The Twilight clones are groaned and looked aways. “Ugh! And we’re clones of her?” One of Twilight’s clones said to another.
“You got a lot of nerve showing your face in my kingdom, again. I thought I scared you off?”
“I merely went into exile for… twenty minutes. But during my time I made an alliance with Raindrops, who would not live another second under your tyrannical rule...”
“Uhh, I only ran because I thought they were after me, too.” Raindrops confessed.
“We searched through the Everfree forest and found the mirror pool, and it is with that power that I return with my army to take back what belongs to me!”
Twilicorn studied Twilight, then the army of clones she had behind her. “Mirror pool? The pool that clones your reflection?”
Twilight nodded with a smug smile.
“I see. So if I were to cast this spell onto your clones.” Twilicorn fired up her magic, and began blasting beams at the herd like a gatling gun. Twilight jumped out of the way, but her clones weren’t so lucky. One by one, each clone’s body inflated into a huge ball. They hovered in the air for a short time before eventually turning into a stream of magic and heading back the way to the Everfree forest.
Both Raindropses gasped. The real Raindrops turned to her clone and shouted, “Run, clone, RUN!”
Without a second to think, the clone flew off as fast as she could, out of sight within a minute. Raindrops smiled to herself. “That takes care of her.”
“No…” Raindrops turned to see Twilight fall to her knees in defeat. “This can’t be happening. This just can’t BE!” A single tear fell from her face.
Twilicorn charged her horn, again. “Don’t worry, Twilight Sparkle. You’ll soon join your clones in a moment.” She aimed her horn at the slumped form of Twilight.
“STOP!” Raindrops got in between the two. Twilicorn was taken aback, and gasped at the pegasus that stood in front of her. “N-n-now you listen to me! After being around Twilight for the past twenty minutes, I can understand why you’d want to get rid of Twilight.”
“Gee, thanks!” Twilight grumbled.
“But she’s not a bad pony as long as you don’t get in her way. Look, couldn’t you just place her in a cell instead of trapping her in the mirror pool?” Wow. That is the worse plead I’ve ever heard.
Twilicorn just stared at Raindrops in utter shock. Her words barely came out. “Mm-mmm-mo-m-m-mommy.”
Raindrops blinked. “What?”
A smile grew from the tips of Twilicorns face. “Mommy!” She then began to nuzzle Raindrops neck. “Oh, mommy. I didn’t notice you at first, I’m sorry.”
Raindrops was extremely confused at this point. “Whaaaaat’s going on?”
Twilicorn detached herself from Raindrops neck. “Oh, mother. Surely you remember delivering me? You said I was really heavy.”
“Uhhhhh. I remember delivering a heavy box, but—”
“So you do remember!” Twilicorn snuggled against Raindrops, again.
Wait a minute Twilight thought. If she came from the box that Raindrops dropped off at her house, then that meant that Twilicorn was the dress. Which meant that the dress stole itself! But there was something else pounding in Twilight’s head. That card that fell out of the dress. Congratulations. On what, though? Wait, that’s it! The answer lied in her script! Twilight hastily summoned her script, and flipped through to current scene. Her eyes scanned from top to until she found the answer. And when she did, she slowly looked up from it, and stared at Twilicorn.
Twilight dismissed her script, and rose on her hooves. She separated the two ponies apart, and held a hard look on Twilicorn. She lifted her hoof and pointed it right at Twilicorn, and shouted, “GO TO YOUR ROOM!”
Not only were Twilicorn and Raindrops speechless, but all the townsponies gasped at the mare who told their princess what to do.
“You can’t tell me what to do! You are not my mother!” Twilicorn rebuttaled.
Twilight merely shook her head. “No. I am your second mother!” You gotta be kidding me!
Twilicorn’s face was unreadable, but she slowly shook her head. “No… That’s not true. That’s IMPOSSIBLE!”
“Raindrops. Tell her. You know it to be true.”
“Why are you talking like that?” Raindrops asked. Twilight continued to stare at her. Raindrops sighed. “Yes. I delivered you to Twilight’s house, that’s where I was supposed to bring you.”
Twilicorn shifted her gaze to Twilight, then Raindrops, and back to Twilight. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” She crumbled to the ground. “No!”
Twilight stood over Twilicorn, tears streamed out of Twilicorn’s eyes as she brought them up to face Twilight’s. “Now, you march yourself straight to your room, and think about what you did!” Twilight said with authoritah.
Twilicorn sniffed. “But mmmoooooooom.”
“I don’t want to hear any excuses. Now march!”
“Yes, mom.” Twilicorn moand. She got up and flapped the tips of her wings, and fluttered to the library.
Raindrops came up to Twilight, and said, “Um, what just happend?”
“That box you delivered to my house had the dress Twilicorn was wearing. But it turns out that Twilicorn was the dress this whole time.”
“So you’re saying it’s a magical dress?”
“No, I’m saying it’s an ordinary dress. Of course it’s magical!”
“But… how did you know?”
“I just read the script.”
“Ah, I see.”
Just then, Twilight’s friends all came up to her. “Hey, Twi,” Applejack said, “We just wanted to come tell you that it’s not your fault.”
“Yeah.” Rainbow Dash said, “just because you let your daughter take over Ponyville, and have us all work as slave doesn’t mean it’s your fault.”
“What are you guys talking about? You all betrayed me because you were following the canon. You’re only saying this so I don’t blast you all into ashes.”
“We forgive you, too, darling.”
“Group hug!” Pinkie exclaimed.
They all got around Twilight and wrapped their hooves around her.
“No! I hate you alllllllllllllllllll!”
“We love you, too, Twilight.” The five mare said in unison. After that, they let go of Twilight and walked away, leaving Twilight with Raindrops.
“Soooo… what do we do now?” Raindrops asked.
Twilight glanced at Raindrops. “There’s only one thing left to do.”
~~~
Twilight walked up the aisle in her long white wedding gown. Everypony in town watched her from either side of their seats, smiling as she walked past them. Upon the platform on the right were her five friends wearing their bridal dresses. Twilight stepped lightly up the couple steps, then turned to face her lover.
Across from Twilight stood her husband to be, Bed. *sigh* They don’t pay me enough to narrate this stuff. He wore fresh new white sheet, and a navy blue bed cover. His two pillows never looked so fluffed before.
Twilight smiled from ear to ear. She looked down at all the ponies who came for her special day. Down in front of the seats were her family members: her mother, father, brother, Cadence; her daughter, Twilicorn, still in her dress, and even Raindrops sat in her seat, face hoofing herself.
“This is so stupid. How can ponies be taking this wedding seriously?”
Twilicorn gently patted her mother on her back. “Don’t be upset, mother. Someday you’ll find love, too.”
“That’s not even a pony!” She said, pointing at Bed.
“But Bed is nice. He gives me candy.”
Raindrops sighed. “That’s good to know, Twilicorn. That’s good to know.”
“Dearly beloved,” the Minister said,” we’re gathered here today to witness the union of Twilight Sparkle, and… Bed, in matrimony. Twilight, do you take this sofa to be your lawful wedded husband?”
“I do!” Twilight squeed.
“And do you, Bed, take this mare as your lawful wedded wife?”
“I do.” Bed said.
“Then by the power given to me by the princess of Equestria I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.”
Bed, however, stayed where he stood. Twilight was the one who made the first move. She pounced on top of Bed, and began kissing his pillow. The crowd stood, cheered, and clopped their hooves as Twilight continued to hug and make-out with her bed.
Upon a hill looking down at the wedding that was taken place was the ruler of Equestria, princess Celestia. At her side was the little dragon, Spike. The princess frowned in irritation, yet the opposite could be said for Spike. He held a sly grin, and his claws rested on his hips.
“See? I told you turning Discord into a bed would work!” Spike said, mockingly.
The princess sighed deeply. “Of all the ideas and tactics I’ve tried, this is what worked?” She looked down at the little dragon. “Just tell me, why did we need to send her that enchanted dress? In fact, how was the dress correlated with Discord turning into a bed?”
“Eh, I don’t know. I just thought it would be fun. Besides, a deals a deal, princess.”
Celestia groaned. “Fine. You’ll get free scale waxing for life.”
“Aaaaaaaaand?”
“And...I will personally wax each and every scale to your liking….”
“Now we’re talking.” Spike looked over the town, and took a breath of air. The sweet smell of victory filled his nostrils. “Ahhh. well, princess, I think I’m in the mood for a good scale waxing right now.”
The End.
Thank god! It’s over! I am out of here! This is probably the worst job I’ve ever had! Narrating this story was like licking battery acid! I hope I never have to read another story like this again! *walks out door*
