(Author's Note: This fanfic takes place in an Alternate Universe after SEason 4, so for the sake of this story, pretend Season 5 never happened. But all of Season 4 happened in this AU)
- Celestia's Throne Room -
Twilight slowly trotted into the room, she saw Celestia sitting on her throne. "I got here as soon as I could." Twilight said as she stood in front of Celestia. Celestia turned towards the young princess. "Twilight, I'm glad to see you! I'm proud of you for how you and your friends handled Tirek." Celestia stated, Twilight's eyes sparkled as she heard her teacher praise her and her friends. "But now I have a new task for you, and only you can do it." Celestia said with a more serious experssion, the sparkle in Twilight's eyes disappered as a more fearful experssion appeared. "Why me?" Twilight asked, Celestia got up and trotted towards Twilight, placing a hoof on Twilight's face. "Because I believe only you have the ability to do this." Celestia replied, Twilight nodded her head in agreement. "If you say so, I'll do it!" Twilight said with determination in her voice. Celestia walked towards the entrance to the room and opened the door, Twilight was shocked when she saw King Sombra, now with a broken horn, unable to use his magic due to this, and without any of his royal armor, leaving him naked like any other pony. "Princess! Y-You can't be serious, that's King Sombra!" Twilight yelled with obivious fear in her voice. Celestia looked down at Twilight. "I want you to reform him, like how Fluttershy did Discord." Celestia stated, with nothing but seriousness in her voice, showing how she was being serious about all this. "Then why not get her!? Why me?" Twilight asked, Sombra simply stood there and watched as the two alicorns conversated aboout him. "Because you are the one I believe can set him straight, Allow him to rejoin society as a normal pony, a chance at friendship and a chance to be loved." Celestia said, the two girls looked at Sombra, Twilight sighed. "Fine, I'll do what I can." Twilight said, she obivious was nervous about all this, she couldn't believe Sombra was still alive and that Celestia actually wanted to reform him, she assumed after Discord was reformed, Celestia have thought that anypony could be reformed, but Twilight wasn't so optimistic. "He'll also be living with you during his Reforming" Celestia said, Twilight's eyes widen as she turned to Celestia. "Wait what?" Twilight said with surprise.
- Twilight's Castle -
Twilight lead Sombra into the castle and showed him around, she ended the tour with her libary, which was where Sombra was going to sleep during his reforming. "Here's my libary, where you'll be staying during your staying here." Twilight said, trying to fake a smile, Sombra looked around the libary. "You own way too many books." Sombra said cynically, Twilight looked at him, she was slightly offended by his statement. "I do not." Twilight said, Sombra looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "These are alot of books Twily." Sombra said with a smirk. "Don't call me Twily" Twilight said with an annoyed voice, Sombra looked back at the books. "At least I'll have something to do when I'm bored." Sombra said, Twilight began to trot out the door. "Get some Sleep okay, we got big plans tomorrow!" Twilight yelled as she trotted down the hall and into her rooom.
- Twilight's Castle (Later That Night) -
Sombra layed down on a loveseat, which was obiviously meant as a comfortable seat to sit and read on but in his case, it was his bed. "This is pointless, I can't be reformed, there's just no way." Sombra said to himself, he stopped when he noticed a small, purple dragon oraginzing books. "Oh, you're the dragon that broke my horn" Sombra said in an emotionless voice. "Oh, hi Sombra, Twilight said you'd be staying here." Spike said casually, trying to hide his fear. "Cut it out, I know you're scared of me ya pansy." Sombra stated cynically. Spike slowly walked out and closed the door behing him. Sombra looked up at the ceiling and sighed again. "That mare is out of her mind, thinking she can just reform me." Sombra said to himself, he dediced to close his eyes and at least try to sleep...
- Still Twilight's Castle (The Next Day) -
Sombra wakes up to see Twilight reading across the room from him. "Is there ever a moment you aren't reading?" Sombra asked as he got up and yawned, Twilight looked at him and closed her book. "Good, you're awake! We got alot to do today if we want to start your reforming process!" Twilight said cheerfully, she was clearly trying to make Sombra feel more at home or something like that, Sombra simply groaned at this. "You don't need to act so cheerful ya know." Sombra said cynically, Twilight had an angry experssion on her face, not the super serious kind of angry but the more cute kind of angry. "Well Mister Grumpy, I'm trying to be nice. I personally believe you can't be helped but Celestia has some faith in you so I'm pushing aside my better judgment and give you a chhance." Twilight stated, Sombra yawned again. "Whatever." Sombra groaned, Twilight and Sombra began trotting down the hall of the castle...
