Chapter 2: Multiple Twilight Scenario

Twilight Sparkle woke up slightly later than usual, and after a few moments of disorientation due to the large window across the room, along with a large hourglass and a couple of Greek style busts of warrior unicorns. Suddenly a flood of memories came to her and she realized where she was. She was in her old chamber's in Canterlot. The Grand Galloping Gala had been the night before, and today was her day to show her friends around the capital. As she went downstairs to rouse her friends she was stopped by Spike.

"Twilight, a message from the Princesses, it came earlier this morning, but you told me not to disturb you." He said as he handed her a sealed scroll.

"You've done very good Spike." Then realizing all of what Spike had said, anxiety rising, "Wait? Did you say princesses? Plural?"

"Um, yeah, it has both the Sun and Moon seals." He spoke, motioning to the scroll. Observing it closer Twilight spied the Moon in the center circle of the Sun, absent for the past thousand years, and now only used by Princess Luna, to have both seals on a document meant that it was of the utmost priority.

Ripping the scroll open she scanned it quickly, becoming more and more distraught as she read on.

"Spike what time is it?" She snapped.

"20 to 10" He stated matter of factually, he instantly noticed that this obviously was not good as Twilight fell down. "Twilight, is something wrong?"

"Is something wrong? IS SOMETHING WRONG? I was supposed to be at the castle 10 minutes ago, for a secret meeting with Celestia and Luna." Unable to hide her anxiety, and hyperventilating slightly she continued, "But I have to show my friends around Canterlot, and I don't want to be seen as a cop-out who abandons her friends...AARGH.

"Wait, I know, we'll use my latest spell, I shift you to look like me and talk like me, you show them around and state that Spike couldn't make it, as he was really sleepy, after that snafu with Owlowiscious that should suffice."

"Twilight, are you sure?"

"Yes, I am or my last name isn't Sparkle"

"Ok, just take it off as soon as possible ok?"

"Oh, I will, I don't worry, I really don't want a 'Multiple Pony Scenario' those are messy."

Hearing this, Spike gulped, "Multiple...Pony...Scenario? Isn't that when a pony gets split into two copies which start out the same but slowly diverge. One towards paranoia and OCD, the other towards romanticism and superfluity?"

Happy that her assistant had been listening Twilight beamed, "Why yes Spike, that's exactly what I mean, though it is unlikely to occur here as I will not be split but only making a look alike. Now could you please send a note to Celestia saying I'll be there as soon as I can?"

Spike obliged, and was surprised at the quick response, "No worries my faithful student, anypony has the right to be tired after last night, you more than most."

Hearing this Twilight physically perked up. "Ok, now that that is out of the way, let us begin, please stand on all fours Spike."

As Spike went down to the floor, Twilight summoned her power, and instead of the normal cone that usually appeared around her horn, a perfect tetrahedron formed out of blazing white lines, point hovering an inch above the tip of her horn it slowly rotated about, finally settling with one line aimed straight down her back, and the other two aimed directly at her hooves. Nothing happened for a second, then suddenly Twilight's skin seemed to peel off of itself in three neat pieces, left and right flanks, and her face and chest. However, there was no blood, no muscle or internal organs to be seen, but another layer of skin and fur, completely identical to the one that had just been removed. The three pieces rippled in the air momentarily before Spike floated up and they surrounded him knitting themselves together neatly, some blue sparks danced a little jig about his head and throat. Creating a horn, as Twilight's had not actually moved, and changing his voice so that he sounded like her. When this had happened the real Twilight fell to the ground panting.

Wondering to herself, Why do I always collapse? I am one of the best student's of magic ever, why does one relatively simple transformation take so much out of me?

Testing out his new skin Spike trotted around the room, saying, "Wow, I've never felt so invigorated before, Rarity is sure to notice me now...hehe, oh wait, I'm not 'Spike' I'm 'Twilight Sparkle'"

"Right you are, and I hear that the voice transformation worked." Twilight intoned from across the room. "Ok, let's get going, the rest of the girls are going to be getting up soon, and we can't have me being seen leaving twice."

Saying this she raced downstairs and out of the room. However, she knew she was too late as Applejack poked her head out of her room, "What was that ruckus up in your room just now?"

Ignoring her inquiries, as well as those of Rainbow Dash as she came in from a morning workout she ran out the door and teleported her way to the castle, she was not a fan of teleporting indoors as the energy release could sometimes burn papers.

Upon arrival at the castle she ran into the throne room and bowed before the princesses. As the doors closed Luna spoke "You know, you didn't have to do that shape shifting spell, your friends would have understood."

Back at the library Spike, trying his best to be like Twilight walked down the stairs, and seei. "Morning girls, how are you all today?"

"Honestly, I'm slightly baffled" Rainbow Dash, "You just left, and now you're coming back through, it's like you looped."

Spike would have tugged at his collar had he one to tug at. "Well, yeah, I kinda remembered something and went back through the balcony door..."

The group was intensely silent staring at Spike in Twilight's skin, even Fluttershy wasn't mentally humming to herself. Seeing that this impasse was going nowhere, Rarity spoke up, "Darling, don't we have places to be, and lovely things to see?"

"Yeah, lets go girls I have scheduled out our day, starting in town we'll have breakfast at the same shop we were at last night, the donuts are absolutely divine when fresh, Princess Celestia actually likes them so much she orders them at the Castle every morning for her breakfast after raising the sun.

"Then we'll head over towards the Royal Spa and Pool, great place to spend a morning recuperating. After that I'm thinking of heading to the tower and showing you the Crown Jewels, did you know that Spike actually attempted to eat one of the Princess's largest diamonds the first time I took him there? Or, that the jewel in her tiara changes daily, cycling through every week?"

This first revelation caused everyone to break out in fits of laughter, most of all Rainbow dash causing her to crash about till she settled on Applejack's back.

Upon shrugging off the shrieking Pegasus she stated bluntly "Ok, sugar, but what then?

"Lunch in the park, then Celestia's Golden Apple Tree, not edible by anyone unless they get royal permission, without which, the apples will disintegrate upon being plucked, only to reappear back on the tree, but fortunately for us we have permission for one apple apiece."

Pinkie Pie hearing this, "OOH Snacks? Hmm, I wonder if I should use mine in a batch of special cupcakes."

"Um, actually no" Spike spoke, "First off, these things are real solid gold, with a special charm to make them possible to be eaten, but only by the intended. Second, Why waste something so absolutely divine, they taste just like the perfect apple to each individual who tries one. Spike claims his taste like a crisp red delicious with hints of Beryl and Aluminum Oxide. Mine are a honey crisp that has just a touch of tart with it."

Finally getting up off the floor , Rainbow Dash inquired, "What in the HAY are Beryl and Aluminum Oxide?"

As Spike opened Twilight's mouth to speak, Fluttershy answered from across the room, beating out even Rarity as she started to speak, "Emeralds, Sapphires and Rubies. Sapphires and Rubies are the same with just slightly different impurities."

"OK, I'm just gonna take that at face value." Rainbow said, "Now let's get this show on the road"

The morning passed uneventfully, and as the group neared the Golden Apple Tree Spike/Twilight became more and more agitated. Noticing this Pinkie Pie spoke up, "Twilight what's wrong?"

Before Spike could answer a bright flash soared across the sky, spreading out from the direction of Ponyville, suddenly it was upon them, A rush of wind followed by a blinding light, the combination of which stunned them all for a few seconds. The energy from the blast had another consequence.

Rainbow Dash, the first to gain her senses back, stared at where Twilight, or at least a good facsimile thereof, had been standing, "Wait, your not Twilight Sparkle, your Spike, I thought you were too tired." She said, her eyes narrowing.

Seeing that his goose had been cooked he quickly blurted out "I'msorrysosorry ."

Applejack came over, "Woah, woah, slow down, you said Twilight was where?"

"Castle..." Spike huffed, "with...the...princesses..."

"Then let's go to the castle" Rarity said.

"Yes, lets, and please Spike, ride on my back." offered Fluttershy

Thus decided they trotted across the grounds to the entrance to the throne room. However, when they got there, they ran into a brick wall. The Guards.

When Spike inquired about Twilight the response was short and terse, "Princesses Sparkle, Luna and Celestia will be out when they are done."

Rarity incredulous asked, "Wait, did you just say Princess Sparkle? Oh dear, I'm never going to be able to-"

The door crashed open and Celestia, Luna, and Twilight were all standing there looking as if they were ready for war. This caused everyone to chorus in things like "Twilight you're royalty?" or, "Wait, what is this?"

After several seconds of this jabbering Twilight had had enough, "QUIEEET!" she shouted, and everypony calmed down.

Everypony but Pinkie Pie, who continued, "Then she said 'Why yes oatmeal, maybe I am CRAZ...' oops, hehe, you were saying Twilight?"

It was not Twilight, nor was it even Celestia who spoke, but Luna, "My sister and I have deemed that we may be in need of an heir to our thrones, in such a case that we will no longer be able to rule, and after Blueblood, formerly titled Prince, treated Rarity last night, as well as Octavia a couple weeks ago we deemed him unfit to rule, as he has yet to learn anything. Twilight was the obvious choice, and has stated a desire to continue to live her life as it was until such a time arises. One side affect of all this is that all of you will live for a couple thousand years at a minimum."

Twilight then added, "Girls, I'm sorry about lying to you, but might I ask, why are you here? And Spike, why do you no longer look like me?"

Spike answered, "There was a large gust of wind and a blinding light, it seemed to come from the vicinity of Ponyville, when we finally regained our senses, I was back to my normal self, and I'm glad too."

To this Celestia responded, "That was why we were coming out, we were out for longer than you because I just had the marble in here polished, and it acted like an oversize mirror, taking us all down for a while, even me. Which says that this was an extremely large amount of energy that was released, because, as you all should know, magic is simply energy in a form that is currently really indescribable, and if Twilight's spell was removed, that must mean that we are dealing with something I have never seen before, because even I have trouble removing some of her spells, especially when she doesn't want them removed. I propose that the six of you and Spike go and investigate what this was, while Luna and I work out the final details of Twilight's ascendancy."

Suddenly, another beam shot across the sky, this one a rainbow. starting near the ground of the valley and arcing through the airspace between Canterlot and Cloudsdale.

"Well I think I know where we need to start." Stated Applejack.

End Chapter 2

Author's Note: Yes I mean to say that "The Vinyl Scratch" was on the air during the time that season one was occurring. The logic is this: "Winter Wrap Up" mentioned the new year. If Celestia banished Luna on the day of the Summer Sun Celebration, as "Mare in The Moon" suggests (June 19-21 our terms, depending on year) The Celestian Calendar would have started immediately, and that year would be considered 1 B.C.C (Before Celestian Calendar) six months pass till December ends and 1 C.C. (Celestian Calender, there is no year 0 in the Gregorian or Julian calendars, as such it would make sense that there would be no year 0 for the Celestian Calender) begins. 1000 years pass, and Nightmare Moon is released in June of year 1000 C.C. After 6-9 months we come to "Winter Wrap Up" which would have occurred sometime in early (before March 20th or so) 1001 C.C. Or, if the Calendar was retroactive, Luna was banished June of year 1 C.C. meaning that the series starts at the Summer Sun Celebration of year 1001, and "Winter Wrap Up" signals that year 1002 had started. Either way, it can be said that the Grand Galloping Gala occurred after the invention/discovery of radio, and due to time frames given in the "Vinyl Scratch Tapes" probably after Octavia's concert.

Also, I had to fight myself away from having Rainbow Dash twitch after the "Special Cupcakes" line, I'm trying to keep this as close canon as possible (even with the VST stuff)
