Twilight and Sparkling

"Ow! Hey that's too tight!" Twilight told Applejack as she tied the purple pegasus to a tree.

"Yeah, that is too tight," Sparkling said rubbing her sides, "I know because for some reason, I can feel it."

"Well ah'm sorry sugar cube," Applejack apologized, "But ah don't want her - or you - or... whoever she is getting away again."

Sparkling had just explained the whole situation to Applejack and Rainbow Dash. She explained it detail by detail, but the two mares were still confused.

"Why would you even use that spell in the first place?" Rainbow Dash asked Sparkling.

"I didn't do it," Sparkling corrected, "Twilight did."

"Hey I didn't do anything," Twilight Moon reacted.

"Not you, dunderhead," Sparkling told Twilight, "I'm talking about Twilight Sparkle."

"THAT'S IT!" Rainbow yelled, "From now on if we ask a question that is mostly directed to Twilight - and I do mean Twilight Sparkle - you can just go with it. Because this whole you being her, but you're not her, is giving me a headache."

"Big shocker there," Twilight said sarcastically, "Rainbow Crash is too confused about a simple situation. Next your gonna say that Pinkie Pie is totally insane. Or that hayseed here doesn't know how stupid she looks in that hat."

"Are y'all sure that this she apart of Twilight?" Applejack asked, "Because ah known her long enough to know that she would never act like this."

"Long enough? You known Twilight Sparkle for a year and a half," Twilight pointed out, "You didn't even know what to put in that stupid castle in that time she asked you to renovate. And of course I'm a part of Twilight. I'm just the part of her that actually speaks the truth about how she feels about you girls."

"You can just shut up," Sparkling interrupted, "You are not allowed to talk after that little stunt you just pulled. I mean, what were you even thinking?"

Sparkling was staring at Twilight, waiting to hear an explanation. However, Twilight just remained silent.

"Well?!" Sparkling asked with anger.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Twilight said with a smirk, "I just thought I wasn't allowed to talk."

"Okay, how about this," Sparkling said through gritted teeth, "You don't speak, unless, your spoken too. Deal?"

"Deal," Twilight agreed, clearly enjoying every minute of this.

"Okay, now would you please tell me, what was your plan exactly?" Sparkling asked as calm as possible.

"Well first I was gonna fly to Canterlot," Twilight started, "Mainly because it's pointless to use a train when I can just fly anywhere. Then I was going to get into the castle and tell Princess Celestia to fix this."

"There are so many flaws with that plan," Sparkling said with her face in her hoof, "Not only would it take you longer to fly there than it would by taking the train, but the guards wouldn't just let you in the castle."

"What makes you say that?" Twilight asked.

"Well for one thing, they would just think your a random Pegasus," Sparkling explained, "Even if you would explain to them that you were a part of Twilight Sparkle, they wouldn't believe you. In fact, I'm sure they would just think you were crazy, and throw you into a mental institute."

Twilight remained silent for a while, until she found the 'perfect' comeback.

"You may think my plan was stupid," she said, "But I like to see you come up with a better one."

"I already had a perfect plan Remember?" Sparkling reminded Twilight, "Right before you flew off, I said we should write to Princess Celestia and tell her exactly what happened. When she receives the letter, not only would she understand the situation better, but she would also help us in an instant."

"Yeah...well...," Twilight said, trying to find a better comeback, "My way was faster."

"Actually," Sparkling said with a smirk, "With how fast it takes Spike to send a letter, and how fast it takes Princess Celestia to respond, this whole problem would have been solved within minutes before you got to the castle."

"Yeah, well...um," Twilight was having a hard time figuring out a better comeback, "Your-Your horn is smaller than most unicorns."

"At least I have a horn," Sparkling responded. At this point both ponies were giving each other the death stare, and even though she was tied to a tree, Twilight Moon looked like she was gonna tear Sparkling Glow apart. Until...

"Twilight!" yelled the voice of Spike, "Or Sparkling. Or whoever the nice one is."

Turning around, Sparkling saw Spike and Pinkie Pie running up to the group of ponies. When they got closer, Sparkling noticed Spike was carrying a parchment.

"Princess Celestia responded back with..." Spike stopped once he saw Twilights current situation, "Should I even ask why she's tied to a tree?"

"No," Sparkling responded, "What did Princess Celestia say?"

Spike unrolled the parchment and read the letter.

To the Twilight whom receives this letter.

I am sad to say that I have no idea how to reverse this spell. I will try my best to find the reversal spell, but until then I am afraid you are stuck like this.

Signed, your former mentor, Princess Celestia.

When he finished, Spike looked up to see Sparkling with her mouth agape. Twilight however, just looked angry.

"Sun butt doesn't know how to fix this?!" she yelled, "Why is she always so useless."

Sparkling turned and went back to giving Twilight the death stare.

"If she's so useless," she said, "Why would you go and get her help?"

"Because she owes us way more than one," Twilight explained, "We did reunite Celestia with her sister, turned Discord to stone, stopped Queen Chrysalis, saved the Crystal Empire, reformed discord, save her and Princess Luna from crazy vines that were made by discord, and sent Tirek back to Tartarus."

"You know she kinda has a point," Spike added.

"Quite Spike," Sparkling ordered, "And don't you dare talk badly about the Princess again Twilight."

"Make me Sparkle," Twilight reacted.

"QUIET!" Applejack yelled, "Ah can not stand you two going back and forth like this. Your technically the same pony, ain't that just fightin' with ya self."

"A.J. is right," Rainbow Dash chimed in, "If you two are gonna be stuck with each other, you might as well get along."

"Yeah, and before you know it, you two will be the bestest of friends," Pinkie Pie added, "It's almost like being best friends, but with yourself."

Twilight and Sparkling both looked at each other. Even thought they hadn't agreed on anything in the past few hours, they did agree on one thing.

"This will not end well," they said in unison.
