A Picture's Worth A Thouand Words

"You have got to be kidding me." 'Twilight' said jaw unhinging in its effort to escape from the horrendous stupidity of a disaster that piled high into the sky in front of the library's front door. "You have got to be bucking kidding me!" she shouted rubbing her eyes in an effort to erase the sight that lay before her.

Towering high above her was a massive pile of books. A small mountains worth in fact. Twilight sat there for a few more moments in stunned silence before her brain caught back up and decided it was time to take action.

"SPIKE!!! COME OUT HERE PLEASE!!!" she shouted to her assistant/adopted foal.

"Coming Twilight!" he replied back thanking Celestia that he finally got a break from washing the huge pile of dishes that had unexplainably appeared after he'd finished baking a jewel cake for himself. "Dear Celestia! What's with all the books Twilight!?" Spike asked suddenly wishing he could go back to washing those dishes.

"It appears that the Opportunistic Book Enterprisers of Yokeshire thought it was a good idea to donate to us a third of their total library" Twilight replied scanning the massive manifest that had been stacked neatly on her doorstep. "Spike can you go get Pinkie Pie and the rest of the girl? Oh and tell time turner that I'm going to need to turn in -."

"That favor? I thought you might." TT said coming around the corner. "Though it is mostly my fault."

"Meaning?" Twilight asked eyebrow twitching while Spike wisely choose to inch his way out of the immediate "Death Zone" and towards Pinkie's house first.

"I may have informed my friend of your love of book who then informed they're friends and so on and so forth until well... we have this." TT said gesturing with a forehoof to the massive pile of books. "Well I best get started! Unravelling time and space before reconstructing it within a live thing isn't exactly easy you know!" he said before trotting inside.

"Well I might as well get started." Twilight sighed with trepidation.


Time Skip 3hr. Later.

"This is ridiculous!" 'Twilight' Shouted in frustration while glaring at the pile. The very same pile she'd just spent the last few hours working on in "Alicorn Time" yet somehow still had no dent in it. "I'm never going to get this done!" Twilight whined with frustration which was adding to her irritation that came with Spikes report of all her friends being busy.

"Well you certainly won't with all three of us stuck in the same body you won't!" Someone said seemingly from right next to "Twilight"

"WHAAA!!!" cried Twilight and then spun around expecting to see Pinkie Pie, but when nopony was there she realized that the voice came from within her own head, meaning only one thing...

"TWILIGHT!!! YOU'RE BACK!!!" The Namíne half of the fusion Twilight shouted happily within their mind.

"Good to have you back Twi." Lillian said softly allowing herself the guilty pleasure of using her nickname for Twilight.

"Good to be back my sweet Lily!" Twilight replied with a slight giggle. "Now go find us somewhere out of sight so we can split! after all! Three sets of hoofs are better then one!"

Without another word "Twilight" shot off inside and quickly shut the front door. "That should do it!" Lillian stated stopping in the middle of their brand new foyer. Turning their thoughts inward Lillian and Namíne appeared inside their mindscape once again separate conscousnesses.

Once inside, Namíne took no time in swiffly tackling Twilight who stood waiting in the middle of the "room".

"TWILIGHT!!!!" Namíne shouted crying into the Alicorn's mane. "Don't do that again! Please!"

"I won't Namíne. I won't." Twilight replied holding on tightly to the sobbing Pegasus. "Feeling better?" She asked after a couple of minutes.

"Mhm." Namíne replied foalishly nodding her head before letting go.

"Okay let's do this then." Twilight said walking to the section of the room that was decorated with her Cutie Mark, while giving Lillian a quick affectionate nuzzle on her way past. "Ready girls?"

"Ready"

"GOOD TO GO!"

"Alright then! Three..."

"Two..."

"ONE!!!"

"PUSH!!!!"


Outside the body.

Today had not been going good for Rarity. First the CMC had crashed through her front window and wrecked one of the dresses on display. Next Opal decided to use her latest order as a scratching post, then Pinkie barged into her shop and all but foalnapped her into helping Twilight take the mountain of books into her newly refurbished Library.

"Pinkie could have at least given me a warning before sending me off to help Twilight. I need to take that dress to Photo Finish before she changes her mind again! And now I needs to resewn the other one!" Rarity huffed while marching towards Golden Oaks carrying to with the camera that Photo requested (Read demanded) that she bring.

Having arrived with little to no hastle Rarity looked around for Twilight. Not seeing her Rarity deduced that the Princess had gone off to recruit their other friends.

'I'm sure she won't mind if I let myself in to wait instead of standing in this hot sun until she and the others arrive.' She thought reasoning with herself.

And without further a do let herself in only to see Twilight standing there.

"Oh darling! I had no idea that you'd be in here! I'd half expected-..." Rarity started apologetically but then stopped in terror as she saw Twilight's body begin to bulge and twist in horrifying ways. familiar piece of pony anatomy beginning to show through, such as a hoof here or the tip of a wing there.

Backing up in silent horror Rarity took the camera that'd been secured to her back and used it to take a quick picture before backing out of the library and shutting the door. deciding to watch from a window instead of standing in the immediate "Danger Zone". As she watched Rarity saw the bulges on Twilight's body begin to change into two separate forms on either side and gradually two distinct pony figures could be seen pushing out of her skin. Finally after what seemed like hours two more ponies stood besides Twilight their tails still attached to her flesh before with a quick pull they came out leaving Twilight perfectly intact like nothing ever happened. One of the newly formed ponies was a Emerald Pegasus with a silver pink striped mane and tail, while the other was a dark-gray Earth Pony with a Crimson mane/tail.

"Blegh!!! That is never pleasant!" shouted the Pegasus sticking out her tongue in disgust.

"You said it Namíne!" Twilight grunted sitting down and rubbing her sides to lessen the pain. "But at least you don't have to know what it feels like to be drawn and quartered!"

"Well it would be easier if we could somehow manage to make it that our release were to come and go instantaneously instead of these long drawn out transformations." the Earth Pony said sagely.

"Yeah what Lilly said!" Namíne shouted pointing towards her counter part.

Taking advantage of their preoccupation Rarity seized the opportunity to snap a picture of the trio before darting of to develop her new pictures.

'Princess Celestia is going to want to know about this!' Rarity decided with a grim expression on her face galloping towards her store as fast as the camera on her back safely allowed.
