Author's Note

Okay! Hello everybody this is SUBJECT-XVI here today with my very first fimfiction! Please don't flame needlessly! However I would like some constructive critisism! Okay so I wrote this because I felt like it! :-) lol jk I wrote this after reading Pinkie Personalities, which got me thinking about making my own version where it wasn't Pinkie Pie (or is it? Wink, wink) with MPD/DID but rather Twilight! Soon after much trial and error and here it is! Tell me what you think and I'll try to get more chapters out accordingly!

P.s. I don't know the propper name for a lot of Pony anatomy so if I say chest (or whatever) just mentally replace the word that is supposed to be there.


Meeting Of The Minds (Redux)

Late Night, Twilight Sparkle's Castle/Treehouse Hybrid

Night settled deeply all across Equestria, and its denizens who couldafford it were all sound asleep. Including but not limited tone Twilight Sparkle... That is until a certain familiar musk intruded upon her nose and subsequently her sleep. Sitting up in her bed she quickly and quietly rushed out of her shared room and down the stair into the Library that made up the majority of her home.

"Okay what the hell was that for! I told you not to give me dream like that Namí! Do you want to wake up Spike! You know how sensative his nose is!" Twilight said in a harsh whisper closing her eyes and rubbing her forehead in preparation for a no doubt, "Interesting" conversation.

"Sorry Twi! I forgot he was here tonight!" came the giggled reply.

"You wouldn't have forgotten had you not already been fantasizing about your crush Namí! Accused another voice.

"Hehe it's true! I am sooo sorry Twi!" Namí whined/apologized

"It's fine Namíne just try to suppress those thoughts across our link." Twilight said with a deep sigh. "Was she doing it again Lillian?"

"Do you even need to ask? This is Namí we are talking about right? *sigh* Though why she insists imagining on some of the things she does with Fluttershy is beyound me. *shrug* Poor Flutteshy would probably die of embarrassment before anything could really get started." sighed the now identified Lily. "Though in retrospect she is probably dom. especially with her normal quiet nature. That whole stare thing could be part of the inner nature that she never lets out... Kind of like us and her.

"Ugh! I don't even care anymore! I'm going to bed before Spike wakes up and gets curious and checks on me. It would be bad if he came down here and heard me talking to myself... Good night you two!" Twilight yawned and opened her eyes revealing that she was the only one in the room. Choosing to ignoring the replies from the two voices Twilight turned around and started for her stairs. Yesterday was a long day and something told her that today would be even longer. But before she could even touch the first step, she turned around again and instead headed for her desk. 'There's something I want to check anyway, at least I can put being up in the middle of the night to good use.' Twilight thought sourly.


Inside Twilights' Mind

Namíne flinched as Twilight "slammed" shut Lillian's and her connection from the main body preventing any of their thoughts from reaching her. Leaving the two ponies alone together. One was an emerald colored pegasus with a silver mane with a pink stripe down the middle and on her flank was picture of three intertwined crowned hearts.

"You think she'll be mad at me tomorrow Lily?" she asked wilting.

"I don't know maybe... But I doubt it. She's never been able to stay mad at you. So yeah I really doubt she will." replied the other, a dark gray earthpony with a crimson mane and the picture of a silver shield on her flank.

"I hope you are right... Dear Celestia I'm such a screw aren't I?" Namíne whispered wilting even more.

"Hey! Hey! You aren't a screw up. You just made a little mistake that's all" Lilian said placatingly, gently putting a hoof on the other pony's shoulder.

Namíne just wilted further eyes brimming with unshed tears. Unable to think of anything else that would bring up the other mares mood Lily wrapped Namíne in a hug whispering sweet nothings that would hopefully make the mare feel better. Not a second later Namíne burst into tears.

'She's always been such a fragile soul... No wonder Twilight fell in love with her... Not she'll ever admit it.But then again she's always been more worried about keeping us safe than her own feelings' Lilian thought with a smile, and felt Namíne shutter and stop crying, the slowness of her breathing let the other pony know that she had fallen asleep. 'Well in retrospect she probably loves us both but I think its more of motherly love towards me... or I could be wrong on both if our accounts and she loves me like that and Namíne as a mother. Or both of us like that or like a mother... Now that I think about it I can't read Twilight's thoughts well enough to make that sort of assumption so I'm babling for nothing... Meh... Not like I have anything better to do with Namíne falling asleep... not that I blame her of course! she must be exhausted the poor dear! Okay now I'm really rambling and it more like I'm talking to some unseen audience! But that would be ridiculous! Wouldn't it? Meh! We could probably ask Pinkie... But there's no guarantee that we'd get a straight answer from her... She's always seems to know more about what's going on then what she says...' She thought gently putting Namíne onto the ground which shifted and sprouted into a bed. "Buck it! I'm going to sleep!" Lily said cutting off her own incessant rambelings and laid down next to the sleeping form of Namíne. "Sweet dreams for my sweet..." Lily whispered softly before drifting off into the arms of morphius.


In Reality

"Oh what to do what to do!" Twilight said having another one of her oh so infamous PANIC! attacks. The reason? None what so ever... Well as far as we can tell. Anyway.

"What am I going to do if the others find out! (OH! So that's the reason!) I don't think I can keep hiding this from everypony!" Twilight whispered eyes darting around as the panic of her situation took firmer hold. It had been easy hiding her "Condition" from everypony before because there really wasn't anypony who was close to her. Sure there was the Princess and Cadance and to a lesser extent Shinning Armor. But the Princess was too tired and busy to notice the small quirks that would shine through caused by her alternate personalities. Or she simply saw them as being part of her as a whole and not the effect of a different personality. And both Cadance and Shinning shared the same problem and that was the neither were paying enough attention to notice, because both were focusing on their special somepony... Not that they knew that she knew that something was going on with them. "Things were soooo much easier before when it was just the three of us... but now that I/we have friends it'll kill us to let them go! oh what to do!?"

"Twilight?" Spike said yawning walking into the room sleep making everything sound like he was hearing it from behind a wall made out of ten inch thick glass. "You okay? You look like you forgot an important assignment again."

"I'm fine! Go back to bed" she said light heartedly but saw the look of unbelief on Spike's face. "I'm fine! Really!" she said barely hiding her panic behind the surprise of her assistant/adopted son. "I was actually thinking of altering my teleportation spell so that it wouldn't take such a big drain and maybe even make it even faster!" she said getting excited about the idea and started collecting large amount of papers and research materials. Losing herself into the spur of the moment idea forgetting temporarily forgetting her personality troubles in favor for the excuse she made up.

Spike just sighed and went back to bed. If there was one thing that he'd learned about his mother it was that once she got into a groove practically nothing could drag her out of it... though that hadn't stopped her from being practically omnipotent when he had been a baby, baby dragon.


3 Hours Later

Everything was dark inside the Treehouse/Library/Sparkle Residence. Everypony in it having fallen to sleep. Spike the dragon in his bed. And Twilight Sparkle with her head in a book having been unable to resist the call of sleep. Everything was quiet and still. Leaving no one to notice the Shadow that flickered passed Twilight leaving no trace of whatever it was. No trace other then a Sheet of paper with the Words: WE KNOW. Written under a black hoof print.
