I've been waiting for you

"So what did you need to see the Crystal Heart for?" asked Shining Armor as Twilight circled around it.

Twilight was back in her gaudy green full cloak after she had Discord retrieve it.

"I have a theory that the properties of the Crystal might be able to unshuffle my mind from that of Rainbow Dash," she replied, "as I believe that this can affect magic the way normal crystals refract light."

"How will that help any?" asked Discord.

"Not much by itself," she replied, "but with the mirror of Yin and Yang, it will make all the difference."

"Mirror of Yin and Yang? I've never heard of it. Where is that?"

"Legend has it that it was carried as part of the treasure of the Dread Pirate Robrony."

"Just where do you get this stuff from?!"

"Books," she replied, "D'uuuhhh..."

"You do know that books aren't the end all and be all, right?"

"No, but I do know this is ALL a certain draconeequs' fault, and if they don't want to spend a few more centuries in stone form, then they better step up and help fix the problems they have caused."

"Well that's about as subtle as a cannonball to the family jewels," he smirked, "So just where is this treasure supposed to be?"

"Somewhere in the Panjefic Ocean," she replied, "either on a sunken ship or buried on one of the uninhabited islands."

"Do you have any idea how big that is?!"

"40.82 billion acres," she answered evenly, "So I suggest you start NOW and put all of your efforts into FINDING it."

"You can be a real tyrant when you want to," sniffed Discord as he vanished in a flash.

Shining Armor looked at Twilight and at the Crystal Heart before he said, "So what will this mirror do?"

"I don't know," she replied, "It doesn't exist."

"You lost me," he said back.

"I just need to keep him busy for a while. He knows he's in big trouble, so he at least try to be busy for a little while before he comes back to complain about how hard my task is."

"And if he comes back with a fake?"

"Well then it obviously won't work."

"I see. So you don't trust him?"

"Let's just say that between my mind and Dash's, I can tell that it's to his advantage to keep us confused. So he may well try to sabotage any efforts to get the two of us straightened out."

"So why not outright accuse him of the act?"

"Because that won't fix anything. But right now, I need to go back and tell the others of my plan. This shouldn't take too long, so please hang around."

"All right, Twillie."

She vanished in a flash of light.
...

Celestia paused with the blade at her throat. She was hesitating, as she wasn't really thrilled with the notion of slitting her own throat and bleeding out all over the floor. Closing her eyes, she pressed it harder against her own neck. The blade began to cut her hide as blood trickled around it.

"You'll all be better off without me," she sobbed, "I'm so sorry for everything..."

She felt blood spurting onto her neck, running down her front.

"Funny," she said, "I though this was going to hurt a lot more than this..."

"STOP IT!" cried Spike, "This is NUTS!"

She opened her eyes to see that Spike had grabbed the blade with both claws, and it was in fact his own blood she felt against her hide. The sight of him hanging onto the blade made her lose focus and drop them both.

"Oh Spike!" she sobbed, "What are you doing?!"

"Stopping you from making the biggest mistake of your life!" He threw away the letter opener, which stuck into the wall.

"But look what I've done!" she said as she looked at Dash and Luna.

The noise awoke them as they began to stir.

"Well killing yourself won't fix ANYTHING! Didn't you think about how sad everyone would be if you DIED on them?!"

"You're so right!" Her horn glowed. The bedsheet began to tear into strips as it wrapped Spike's claws.

"Who's dying?" asked Dash sleepily.

"Nopony, thank goodness," replied Spike.

"What is going on?" asked Luna as she roused herself.

"SPIKE!" called Dash, "You're bleeding!"

"Just a little accident with a letter opener," said Spike, "You know how clumsy..."

"NO!" said Celestia forcefully enough to get all of their attention, "Spike stopped me from killing myself! That's why he's hurt! That's why he was bleeding!"

The silence after that outburst was deafening.

"I've mated with an Element of Harmony and my own sister! Who knows what kind of foals you'll have because of me!" she sobbed, "How can I live with myself? I'M A MONSTER!"

"STOP IT!" cried Dash as she used her magic to slap Celestia across her muzzle.

"We love you!" shouted Luna, "How could you be so... so... SELFISH!"

"You're the co-ruler of Equestria! WE NEED YOU!"

"And before you even ask, we forgive you already, big sister."

Twilight appeared in a flash of light.

"Uh..." she said as she looked at Spike's claws and the distressed looks of everypony in the room.

"We shall explain it all later!" said Luna.

"Alrighty then," she said evenly, "I've found a way to sort of myself and Dash using the Crystal Heart. Or at least it will sort out our minds. I'm not sure if anything can be done about our bodies."

"I guess one more alicorn Princess won't hurt," said Celestia, "Even if it wasn't 'official'."

"I also have a few ideas about how to separate you from that cursed strap on," she added.

"Oh, that's WONDERFUL!"

"But I need to leave that on you just a little while longer."

"What ever do you have in mind?"

"Oh, somepony needs to be punished..."
...

Cadance managed to slip away from everypony in the lavatory as she made her way to the mare's hot tub. When she tried to teleport out, she soon realized that that means of escape was blocked, most likely by Discord's magic. She also soon realized that Discord was blocking her from sending a magical message to Shining Armor as well. But Discord had not bothered to block ALL of her magic, so she knew there had to be something she could do.

'There must be some spell I know that will alert him to my presence,' she thought, 'Something minor enough that Discord wouldn't think to block it.'

She glanced at a clock.

'Knowing him, he should be getting ready for bed right about now.'

She though hard.

'That's it! The MAKEUP! I can write a message on the mirror with my MAKEUP! I just hope he sees this message before Discord notices it...'
...
TWO DAYS LATER...
...

The Crystal Heart spun and glittered as Twilight and Dash smiled at it.

Discord appeared before Twilight as he said, "There's no Mirror of Yin and Yang! Do you know how much time I've wasted looked for that darn thing?!"

"I know that," she replied.

"Then what was the point..."

"Now Dash and I are mentally ourselves again," she said.

"That's right!" snapped Dash.

"And YOU need to be punished!"

"What are you going to do? Turn me to stone again?"

"Oh, something much more appropriate!"

He looked around at her, Shining Armor, Cadance, Celestia, Luna and alicorn Dash as he gulped.

"So what might that be?"

A bottle floated in front of his nose.

"Drink this!" commanded Celestia.

So he drank it all.

"That's all?" he asked.

"Not quite," replied Twilight.

"Not even close," replied alicorn Dash.

"Oh now what?"

"Just bend over and close your eyes," said Celestia, "and you shall get a BIG SURPRISE!" She reared up so he could see her cursed erection at it's peak.

"Oh bother..."
...
10 MONTHS LATER...
(Yes, a pony pregnancy takes 11 months total)
...

Twilight sat in her library as she read more scrolls from Celestia. Now that she was living in her mansion just outside of town, it was easy to see her whenever she pleased. She glanced down at her swollen belly and thought, 'just one more month. I know you'll just be as beautiful as your mother.'

"Twilight?" asked Princess Dash as she walked in, her own belly swollen, "I STILL don't know why you insisted that Celestia impregnate you too."

"Because we're all in this TOGETHER," she replied.

"So how are Cadance and Shining Armor doing?"

"Remarkably well," she replied, "Given that Cadance is in the ninth month of her own pregnancy."

"Isn't it great how Shining Armor volunteered to say he knocked ALL of us up to have heirs to the throne of Equestria?"

"Well, we had to convince Prince Blueblood to claim that he had to have impregnated me," she replied, "I can't have it look like I'm having a foal by my own brother."

"Yeah, that would be awkward," replied Dash, "So why aren't you marrying him?"

"Oh, he knows we wouldn't get along that well, and he's been more than fairly compensated in other ways."

"And how is those other pregnancies?"

The two paused to giggled even if it was a fairly serious matter.

"Oh, do you mean 'The Great and Pregnant Trixie'?!"

"I still find it hard to believe that she allowed Discord to knock her up," sighed Twilight.

"Well I'm not entirely sure that he gave her a choice in the matter."

"But still, I can't help but think it's somehow funny that she's going to have TWINS by him!"

"The Great and Powerful Trixie doesn't think so. She looks like she might bust a gut any minute."

"Well if he wasn't already being punished," she replied, "We couldn't really punish him any more until he gives birth."

"Even Trixie doesn't look so bad compared to Discord," giggled Dash, "'He really looks like he swallowed a very large sack of grain!"

"I don't think he really had any idea how much trouble he was in when he took that gender switching potion, didn't he?"

"Nope. and he's still upset that he cannot change physical forms until the foal is delivered. It's going to be... special... when he delivers those triplets, isn't it?"

"Oh yeah."

"So," asked Dash as she leaned closer, "How are things between you, Celestia and Luna?"

"I support Luna just as I've been helping you," she replied, "There's a lot of books written about pregnancies."

"I mean the other thing."

"Oh, both Luna and I love Celestia truly and deeply. When our foals are old enough, we'll be sure to explain it all to them."

"That should be interesting to hear."

"I'm just so glad that cursed strap-on thing isn't an issue any more," sighed Twilight.

"Well it did get you closer together," giggled Dash.

"There's other ways that could have happened!"

"Just chill. I was pulling your leg."

"Oh..." giggled Twilight, "I suppose..."
