Undecided

So a shout out to Picardy Third who is letting me use an idea of his(that is slightly altered) in this story, if you've read his story(No Matter How Dark[it might help if you read it first, or actually to apreciate the dangers better read this chapter, actually no it'll ruin his story...damnit! read whatever, his story is better though]) you'll realize that a *defecation*storm is about to hit. Enjoy the story.

Jecht and Twilight set about gathering up the bedclothes to be washed.

"I still can't believe we did that in here. Seriously Celestia is almost like my mom!" Twilight giggled.

"So what you're saying is we just took care of business, in your mothers room, who is the ruler of Equestria.

Twilight blushed a little and threw a pillow at Jecht. "You started it!"

"Really? Because I acutely remember that you were kissing me when I woke up. Not the other way around." Jecht laughed back.

Giggling like school foals the two ponies made their way down as soon as Jecht finiched cleaning his eye socket in his usual morning routine.

Dropping the bedclothes in the laundry room, Jecht and Twilight made their way to the throne room to tell Celestia that they were ready to leave.

"I take it you two had a restful nap?" Celestia implied gracefully.

"Yeah, it was quite...restful." Twilight blushed. Jecht merely chuckled next to her, then leaned towards a passing maid and requested aloud for clean bedsheets to be taken up to Celestia's chambers.

The Goddess blushed a deep red, then cleared her throat. "Well then. With all that business aside I"ll have a chariot readied. Ah and Jecht, here' is your knife." Celestia was presenting the bone blade to Jecht, only for the stallion to shake his head.

"No, I don't want to see it again. I have enough reminders of the past, and I don't need to be carrying others. I have better things to look forward to." he explained warmly as he gave Twilight a quick kiss.

An few hours later Twilgiht and Jecht stepped off of the chariot and started walking through town. Jecht barely even noticed the stares of the other ponies, or the looks on anypony's face if they got a good look at him. His mind was fully consumed by the fact that he was standing next to a mare that loved him for who he was.

"Enjoying yourself Jecht?" Twilight asked rhetorically when she noticed the stallions upbeat attitude. Despite the fact that he knew she didn't need an answer he replied anyway, "I've not felt this good in ever!"

"So what do you want to do then?" questioned Twi.

"Uhmm, hmmm, well I could always have your friend Pinkie set us up a party. I'm sure I can keep any accidents from happening as long as your near me." Jecht laughed out enthusiastically.

With that in mind the two ponies informed Pinkie of what they wanted, then went home to catch some real sleep.

Twilight woke up and immediatly knew she'd slept in. She made to get up and join Jecht, who was surely awake, only to find that the stallion was sleeping with his forelegs wrapped around her. She continues to lay there for a while longer until her her stomach decided it was time for her to get up. Wiggling around, Twilight found she couldn't get loose of Jecht's hold. Twisting around to face the stallion, Twilight came up with a bold move to wake him up. Sticking her tongue out, she licked his exposed teeth and gums(a feat that isn't gross when you compare it to their kissing). It drew a shudder and moan from Jecht. Realizing it was effective, Twilight did it twice more before the stallion woke up.

"Hmm? What's going on?" he mumbled incoherently. Twilgiht giggled at this, never seeing Jecht act this way before.

"You were asleep, time to wake up silly." "What time is it?" "I dunno, I've been in bed with you." "Mmm."

Jecht got up and trotted into the bathroom and started his morning routine when he heard Twilight call out. "We've got two hours until Pinkie's Party!" "I thought it was at 7 tonight?" "It is, but it's four and we need to show up an hour early to tell the girls about us." "Alrighty!"

"How you feeling Jecht?" Twilight yelled over the music. "M'okay for the most part. A little jittery." Jecht hollored back. The two were standing next to eachother, but still had to yell to be heard over Dashstep being blasted by Vinyl Scratch. Twilight led Jecht over to a more subdued part of the room. "This any batter?" she asked. "Yeah, it's not that I felt like lashing out, but I did feel uncomfortable with everypony bouncing around me."

Twi and Jecht sat there enjoying the music while the party raged around them. After a time Jecht rubbed his head and looked over at Twilight, "Hey, feel free to stay and party Twi, but I'm getting a bit of a headache, I'm going to head back to the library and catch some sleep." "Oh, ok, are you sure your fine though?" "What, oh yeah of course. I'm probably just not used to the attention and loud music." With that Jecht turned and left.

Jecht was faintly aware of somepony nudging him. Stirring slightly he became aware of a pony with a southern accent talking to him. "Now c'mon you. Ah'm sure Twilight's sick ta death tryin' to figure out where you've been."

It was Applejack, but Jecht was unsure of how he'd wound up on Sweet Apple Acres.

"How'd I get out here?" Jecht mumbled.

"An' how much did you have to drink there Jecht." Applejack chuckled. Jecht simply shook his head. He hadn't drank anything last night. It was part of his plan to make sure he didn't do anything he'd regret. Groaning slightly as he got up, he stretched out the sore muscles in his right legs.

"Feelin' better there sugarcube?"

"A bit, I, uh, I must've had a few drinks too many, sorry about that." Jecht improvised. Shaking his head, he thanked Applejack for waking him and set off fo Twilight's library.

"T'ain't a problem! Just wait until Twilgiht sees ya though!" AppleJack yelled after him.

Incidentally that very mare was pacing a rut in the floor of her library. Spike tried calming her earlier but Twilight had none of it. "It makes no sense Spike, why would he leave." Was the first thing she asked, but as her hysteria built she found herself questioning herself. "What if I scared him off, what if it's my fault?!"

Just as Twilight was about launch into another irrational thought line, Jecht came through the front door and was promptly tackled into a hug by Twilight. "You have no idea how worried I was! Where did you go last night?!" Twilight said, close to tears. "Easy Twi, what's wrong?" "I thought you'd left, you're the closest I've allowed myself to be with anypony and I thought you left." Jecht ruffled the mare's mane and drew her into a kiss. After a few moments Jecht broke away and made eye contact with the mare, "You are the best thing to ever happen to me Twi, and I will never leave you for any reason."

After Spike gagging himself at the earlier scene, and Jecht had calmed Twilight down, Twilight finally asked.

"So where did you go last night?" "I honestly don't know, maybe the punch was spiked or something because I had AJ waking me up in the middle of the Apple orchard this morning. I came here as soon as I woke up. Anything medical to explain that?" Twilight shook her head, then suddenly brightened at something.

"Oh yeah, and guess what Jecht?" "Hmm?" "Celestia asked if I could help her with an experiment in a few days. I was wondering, would you mind watching Spike while I'm gone?" "Of course not Twi. Tell Luna and Tia I said hi."

Twilight stared at him dumbfounded for a second before gathering herself, "Did you just say 'Tia'?" "Yeah why? It's just a nickname, sides you're practically family with her." "Well, yes, but still." Jecht simply laughed at the mare's confusion as she mentally tried to sort out a new scenario she'd never recognized before.

Jecht had finished putting Twilight's bag in the chariot and hugged her. "Have fun Twi, and relax, actually try calling Celestia 'Tia'. Worse thing she can do is give you a funny look." At this a guard that had overheard Jecht was doing just that. "Anyway, me and Spike'll be fine." Kissing Twilight, Jecht let her board the craft and waved as she was pulled off towards Canterlot.

Jecht walked back inside the Library to find Spike attempting to get into the ice cream. "Ahhh, no. I'm not having Twilight find out that you had Ice cream without dinner." "But I never get to have fun." "Well at least I'm not letting her know you did it without me!" Jecht corrected with a smirk. After eating their fill of Icecream(and Spike having a mild stomach ache) the two headed off to their beds.

Twilight walked into Celestia's chamber's just before nightfall to find Luna and Celestia smiling warmly at her.

"Luna! Tia!" Twilight cried as she hugged them both. Luna couldn't help but laugh when she realized that Twilight had called Celestia 'Tia' instead, and Celestia was amused as well.

"Tia, hmm? Now where did my student disappear off to. This seems to be somepony else." Celestia joked.

Twilight ducked her head and blushed. "Sorry Princess." "Don't be, I think it's nice, and you know I hate formalities. So I know you know me as a teacher. And I am a Princess. But Tia? Maybe?" Celestia laughed.

Twilight giggled at Celestia acting goofy and nodded, "Alright Tia then. So what's so important you two need me?"

"Well, Tia kept telling me how talented you were, so I decided that you can help us with twilight. The time just as the sun is waning and the moon is peaking." Twilight's eyes grew wide at the prospect. "You mean I'm going to set the sun and raise the moon!? But I don't think I can do it." "I know Twilight. Me and Luna will aid you. We just thought you'd really enjoy this oppurtunity." Twilight nodded, in awe of the once in a lifetime chance in front of her. Nodding furiously Twilight quickly asked what she needed to do. "Just stand in between Luna and I. We will gather the reigns, and then pass them off to you. Don't worry, we will make sure you don't lose control."

Stepping between the two Celestial beings, Twilight gasped as she was included in their power. She found the magical reigns of the two Celestial bodies passed to her. It was difficult, but Twilight slowly moved the sun and the moon to their correct positions. While in this state, Twilight found that she could feel everything. Willing her mind to Jecht, she found that he was sleeping in her bed, and Spike was in his. Suddenly there seemed to be a third presence in the room. Her mind suddenly blacked as she heard an evil voice cry out.

HE'S MINE!

Then Twilight blacked out.

Spike woke to some strange muttering. Opening his eyes he realized that it was still nighttime. He was about to complain when he saw Jecht wandering in the dark muttering to himself.

"Damn this stallion, just wait though Jecht. I'm going to find my way through and when I do I'm going to kill everypony you love. Maybe I'll break them first. Kill off Winona, and Angel. Crush Tank and watch his shell shatter in a pool of gore. Owlysius will definitely have to go. Maybe I'll rip the things wings off. I'm sure you know how that feels. Then I'll start on the owners I think I'll finish with Spike before I kill Twilight. Yes! Of course, I'll tie Twilight up and torment the dragon before her very eyes. She will hate you for it you know. She will hate you as I eviscerate the little shit and rip his innards out. Maybe I'll kill off Twilgiht by hanging her from Spike intestines. Does that sound good?"

Spike merely cowered into his blanket before slipping out the window and running to Rarity's house, it being closest.

Twilight came to with Tia and Luna standing over her, worried looks on their faces. "Thank the sun your awake Twilight! Are you ok? I didn't think it would be so hard for you!" Celestia cried.

"No,no. Ugh, my head hurts but, no. It was easy enough. I also had some strange experience. Like my mind left my body and I could go anywhere." At this Tia and Luna exchanged worried yet amazed looks. "So what happened then?" Luna pushed. "That's just it, I can't really remember. Um, I went to check on Spike I think, and Jecht....uhhh, why is it so hard to remember!" Suddenly the voice flashed through her head again and Twilight got a worried look on her face as she explained the situation. Luna and Tia now exchanged extremely worried glances to eachother, and Tia set up giving Twilight a specific set of instructions.

Jecht woke up, and for some reason found himself laying on the floor. 'How in the hoof did I wind up down here?'

Standing, Jecht moved downstairs and soon realized Spike was nowhere to be found. He ran back upstairs and suddenly noticed the window was open. 'Shit, did somehting happen, did somepony take him? Why can't I remember anything from last night? Damnit!' Turning around and heading backdown stairs, Jecht was about to run out and start looking around town when he heard a knock at the door. Rushing over and opening it, Jecht had some preconcieved hope that it was Spike. "Spike there you a... oh hi Rarity. I hate to sound short, but I need to find Spike. I promised Twilight I'd watch him but he's gone missing." Jecht quickly explained.

"Oh no, Spike is fine, darling. Well sort of. He's at the Carouselle Boutique. He showed up in the middle of the night scared. Said you were mumbling things about killing me and everypony else. He also said you went into quite graphic detail." "Really? Well did he say anything else?" replied a very confused Jecht. "He said you were pacing and cackling also. I assumed he'd had a nightmare." Rarity quickly replied. "I believe so. Maybe he just isn't used to me being around, that and my face doesn't exactly ring bunnies and butterflies when it's dark and your falling asleep. Is he ok?" "Well, yes, but he's too scared to come back until Twilight gets back from Canterlot."

"Who's scared of what now?" came Twilight's voice from the front door. "Twilight, your back!" Jecht cheered as he wrapped Twi in a hug that she eagerly returned. "Yes I am. Now what's going on Rarity?" "Darling Spike had a dreadful nightmare last night about Jecht." Twilight's eyes suddenly became unreadable. "Really, what did he have a nightmare about?" At this Jecht stepped forward, "I think with you gone, and my facial coverings off, I may have scared him when we went to sleep. He dreamed that I was talking about killing everypony. I'm really sorry Twi." "No it's fine. He probably just needs some time. Rarity, would you mind holding on to him for a couple of days?" "Of course not, darling." With that Rarity walked back out the door.

"So nightmares and such aside, what did the Tia and Luna want?" Twilight's eyes shifted from unreadable to excited again, "Oh my gosh, you won't believe this but they let me move the sun and moon. It was amazing, I mean I was scared and nervous, but it was amazing!" Twilight gushed. "Oh and Luna wanted you to have this!" Twilight said as she put a simple necklace on Jecht. She wasn't proud of lying to him, but Tia said it was imperative she do this. "That's nice of her, did she say why?" Jecht asked innocently. "Uhm, well I think it was to match the one I got from Tia." Twi quickly covered.

"Tia you can't possibly think Mallumo is back can you?" "I don't know Luna, but if he is we must be prepared. I know it's a sensitive subject for you." "Should we say anything?" "Well that's the thing, we don't know for sure, and I'm not eager to find out how Twilight reacts. Those two are positively taken with eachother." "Yes they are, but you realize that if it's true we can't allow it to progress. Mallumo doesn't play fair." Luna mumbled, her heart breaking over the memory of a student she'd had 1000 years ago. "I know Luna, and I know this brings back painful memories. I am aslo sorry about how it drove us apart." "Will you be able to do it if it's true? Will you be able to put Twilight through that pain?" Tia merely shook her head, "I don't know Luna, I just don't know.
