Twilight of a Wacky Man

Meanwhile, back in Equestria, Twilight had come out of the portal back into the study room in her castle. If looks and words could heal, she felt Homer Simpson could be a doctor. He was on the top of her mind at the moment. Nothing could possibly bring her down from the completely nirvanic feeling she was going through. She was giggling to herself, something she hadn't done without anypony around. She pretty much had her head on the clouds, but one thought brought it back down to Equestria slighty- where was Spike?

She searched around the castle and saw him resting on the royal table like his usual, adorable self. "Oh Spike!", Twilight called to him in a sing-song tone, to which Spike woke up frightened.

"Ah Twilight, I'm so sorry. I hope I didn't break the map or any-"

"I don't care. Spike, I need to tell you something and you better take it seriously", she said smiling, so Spike could only imagine how exciting it was. He hopped off the table and went up to her. She whispered to him, "I'm in love".

Spike gasped. He had never felt happier for her. "Twilight, that's amazing!", he exclaimed.

"Who is it?", he asked, to which Twilight started to reply,

"His name is Homer Simpson. He's a yellow hu-" she stopped right there. How would Spike react if she told him that she had fallen in love with a human within a dimension where she wasn't a human? Would that count as an interspecies romance? What if Spike told anypony and made her look like a complete foal? She couldn't have handled that, so she fixed herself up, saying, "He's a yellow unicorn pony, and he's in an alternate dimension that I happened to create a portal to," she stopped again, wondering if she opened up a chance for Spike, the Maneish 5, heck, anypony to meet Homer. Thankfully, she covered it up with, "-but unfortunately, he can't come into this dimension. I can only go in there. And me only!" She technically wasn't lying with the last one, she had no idea if Homer could cross dimensions like her. After all, he seemed unable to see the portal earlier.

"Cool" Spike replied, too naïve to see past her lies. Then he started talking again, "Anyway, mind if I tell you what happened when you used the time distortion spell?"

Twilight, not to make her sound rude or anything, wasn't totally interested in what Spike had to say. She responded with, "Uhh, sorry but mind if I have some me time?"

Spike was rather disappointed. "Oh…sure", he said hanging his head down. "Thanks, I knew you'd understand", said Twilight, as she hopped up to her room with glee in a similar fasion to Pinkie Pie. Yes, the thought of Homer made her act equivalent to the "Element of Laughter", and basically the embodiment of happiness and childish innocence in her world.

Spike went back to his siesta atop the royal table, which was quickly interrupted by Rarity bursting into the castle. Spike immediately got up and rushed to her. "Hey, Rarity, wha-"

"WHERE'S TWILIGHT!?", she yelled at him, almost shrieking.

"Oh, she's upstairs. Hey, you wanna hea-" Spike got interrupted again but Rarity squealing like a fangirl before rushing up to Twilight's bedroom. Rarity was usually a very exciteable pony, but this was almost creepy to Spike. He tried to catch up with her and ask her what's going on.

"Rarity, what's the matter with you? You're never usually this happy! I mean, it's not bad that you'r happy but-" Spike was interrupted again(!) as Rarity turned back towards him halfway up the stairs.

"It's my "Rarity Sense"!", she replied, before turning around to show him her tail, which was twirling clockwise like a drill. "Look at my tail!", she said simulatenously before turning around back to Spike. "Whenever my tail starts twirling like that, it means one of the Mane 6 has fallen in love! AND IT'S CHOSEN TWILIGHT!", she screamed before chuckling to herself.

"Oh yeah, about that…we don't know too much about the stallion himself", Spike said to the ecstatic unicorn, who just started to simmer down.

"Oh…well I still wanted to talk to Twilight anyway to see how she feels about love and romance", she said putting her hoof to her chest and staring off into the distance.

Just then, Twilight appeared in front of her and frightened her by saying, "Hey there, Rarity". Both Rarity and Spike jumped at this, as they hadn't heard Twilight coming in, and fell down about half the flight of stairs.

"Ooh, that's gotta hurt", she said as she used her wings to glide down to the step at which Rarity and Spike seemed to stop falling. "Are you two okay?", she asked them, and they seemed to brush it off pretty easily. Guess being immortal following Twilight's ascension greatly reduced the damage taken to them from what would otherwise cause fatal injuries.

Rarity was somewhat amused, "Okay? On a scale of 1-10, it be a mathematical impossibility!", she shouted gleefully, and then hugged Twilight. "You've found love!", she repeated over and over again, and Twilight could see her mascara running. As long as Rarity wasn't crying over the fact that she had been taken by a human, she was not going to flip out.

Rarity almost immediately cooled down saying, "But it's a shame we can't see him", putting Twilight's worries to rest.

"Yeah, sure is also a shame that I "accidentally" locked myself out of my study room", Twilight said while simultaneously devising a plan to keep her study room out of reach from anypony else. She quietly used her horn to lock the study room, which was impressive, considering it was all the way up the stairs. "And I bet no unicorn/alicorn/corn on a cob would be able to penetrate it!", she followed up with a nervous smile. Rarity and Spike were none the wiser and couldn't see past her obvious lies.

"Well that's okay, we can still just go into your bedroom (just like the old days) and talk about love", Rarity shyly responded, "After all, you've got a lot to learn before you decide to marry this…what did you say his name was?"

Twilight and Spike said in unison, "Homer".

Rarity completely lost it again, and screamed happilly, almost frightening Twilight and Spike, and then fainted, falling down the rest of the stairs. Twilight used her magic to pick her up and take her to her bedroom and told Spike to get her a glass of water.

"I'm on it like, uh…something that's on something!", Spike said and rushed to the kitchen.
