A depresed Twilight summons Bill Cipher. He freaks her out for a little, bu then they get down to business.

After Twilight becomes an alicorn, she has been feeling down and depressed because she feels like she is doing nothing to deserve being an alicorn. Then she goes to the Canterlot library and finds a book titled Cipher which has a yellow triangle with a eye and hands with a tie on his middle. Curious, she picks it out and teleports back to her tree house. When she picks a page she sees the words to summon Bill Cipher, she reads the words, summoning Bill Cipher. After that, he saw her, and freaked her out a bit before asking what she wants. She answers.

This is a commission by zybenderson.

I'm sorry for canceling this, but I just wasn't sure where exactly to take this. There is the defined chance that I will continue this in the future, however.

The book

Twilight sighed as she browsed the books in Celestia's library. It had been about a week since she had become a princess, and Celestia had told her to browse the library and learn how to be a princess. It was a lot harder then she had expected.

Did I really deserve to become an alicorn? she thought. All I really did was complete a spell! Twilight stopped and frowned at a book. What is this? The book in question was a red and black book.

I don't remember this one, Twilight thought. She picked it up using her magic and started flipping through its pages. She stopped when she found a page with....something...on it.

"This is an incantation," Twilight murmured to herself out loud. "I wonder what it does? To my science equipment!"

An hour later, Twilight was finally at her tree house library, getting out reading equipment for analyzing the incantation on the page. Finally, she was almost ready.

"If only Spike were here," Twilight muttered. "He could light these candles in a flash." Finally, she was done lighting the last candle. She had set them up in a circle, and stepped inside, holding the book with her magic. She looked at the incantation on the page, and started reading it.

"Triangulum, entangulum. Meteforis dominus ventium. Meteforis venetisarium!" she recited. Suddenly, the world went dark. Twilight shrieked. Suddenly, she heard laughing, and a yellow triangle appeared out of no where. The triangle started generating arms and legs, and then an eye and hat appeared. Twilight gasped as the triangle laughed.

"Thank you!" it said. "Finally, I've free!"

"W-what are you?" Twilight asked.

"I think you mean who, not what," the triangle said. "But I've been called worse. Anyway, I'm Bill Cipher." It reached out it's hand. Twilight stared at it.

"Wait a minute, is this some kind of prank?" Twilight asked, starting to get angry. "Did Discord set you up to do this? Actually, he probably created you, so forgot the first question."

"Who's this Discord?" Bill Cipher asked. Twilight glared at him.

"Just take me back to my library," she growled.

"Uh uh uh!" Bill Cipher chuckled. "Gotta say the magic word!"

"Please?" Twilight asked. Can you please take me back to my library?"

"Sure!" Bill Cipher snapped his fingers and they were standing in the circle of candles Twilight made in the library. Twilight blinked.

What the? she thought.

"So, who is this Discord person?" Bill Cipher asked. "Or should I say pony?" Twilight shook her head.

"Discord isn't a pony," she said. "He's a master of chaos." Bill Cipher gasped.

"So am I!" he exclaimed.

"Yeah, I kind of saw that," Twilight said.

"Does he enjoy gifting people deer teeth?" he said. Twilight's ears folded back.

"Deer what?" she asked.

"Dear teeth," Bill Cipher said. "You know, these!" He snapped his fingers, and suddenly a pile of shiny white objects appeared on the floor. Deer teeth. Twilight shrieked.

"These are actual deer teeth?" she asked, horrified.

"Straight from the mouth!" Bill Cipher said. "Oh! Incoming anomaly!" Suddenly, there was a bright light, and when it stopped, Discord was standing there.

"Twilight, how did you come into possession of chaos magic?" he asked, his voice slightly raised. "And why do you have a mouthful of deer teeth?" He looked at the circle of (now unlit) candles.

"You can sense chaos magic?" Twilight asked. Discord nodded.

"And you've summoned something powerful," he said. "Surprisingly, I don't know what-or who-it is, but its powerful.

"You bet I am!" Bill Cipher said.

"It's still here though," Discord said, glancing around the room. Twilight looked at Bill.

"You can't see him?" she asked, confused.

"No," Discord said. "If he doesn't want anyone else see him, then ok. Just be careful, Twilight." And in another flash, Discord was gone. Twilight turned to Bill.

"Could he really not see you?" Twilight asked.

"Correct," Bill said. "I can alter peoples-or should I say ponies- visions so I can stay hidden. I'm not going to do it to you, because then you'd freak out."

"I'm already freaked out," Twilight said. Bill looked at the pile of deer teeth.

"I'm guessing you don't want the deer teeth," he said. "Doesn't matter, I was going to send them back." He snapped and the pile of teeth disappear in a flash.

"So, let me get this straight: You're more powerful than Discord, a chaos master?" Twilight asked.

"Yep!" Bill said.

"Wow," Twilight said. "Are you a good guy?"

"That depends on what you mean by 'good'," Bill said. "I haven't killed anyone, but I do some crazy stuff!"

"Ok," Twilight said. "Please don't do anything...crazy to anyone in this town, especially my friends."

"The friends that are at the door?" Bill said.

"What?" Twilight managed to asked before someone knocked at the door. Twilight looked at the door.

"Hey Twilight! Open up!" Rainbow Dash called from outside. "The other girls are here with me. Are you ok?"

"This should be interesting," Bill sad. Twilight teleported and the candles and analyzers into the tree houses basement, and then opened the door nervously.

"Finally! Where have you been?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Don't tell me you won't be able to hang out with use anymore!"

"NOOOO!" Pinkie exclaimed. She wrapped herself around Twilight's front legs in a hug. "Don't leave us!"

"Pinkie! I'm not leaving you!" Twilight said as she struggled to get out of her grip. She could hear Bill laughing. Pinkie let out a sigh of relief.

"Ok, good," she said as she let go of Twilight's legs. "So, what's happening?"

The pranks begin

The sleepover was in full swing. Twilight and the girls were playing Life and eating snacks. Rarity rolled the dice and moved her piece across the board. She was the closest to the end.

"Why can't real life be this easy?" she wondered aloud. Twilight shrugged.

"People have different skills that could help them make it easier," she offered. "Being really good with magic certainly does." Rarity sighed.

"Well of course!" she said. "Of course being exceptionally good at magic makes life easier!" Rainbow Dash snickered as she rolled the dice.

"Honestly, why is this even an argument?" she asked.

"It's not," Twilight and Rarity said in unison.

"Well, duh!" Rainbow Dash said. "Just look at the princesses and how powerful they are!"

"True," Pinkie said as she moved her piece. "Just look at how much more powerful Twilight is now that she's an alicorn!"

"It has increased," Twilight commented.

"Exactly!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"I'm going to get something to drink," Twilight said. "Anyone want anything?"

"I'll take some lemonade, if you don't mind," Fluttershy said.

"Anyone else?" Twilight asked. Everyone else replied with no's. Twilight walked into the kitchen and poured a glass of lemonade for Fluttershy and some water for herself.

"Hey!" Bill whispered. Twilight jumped and looked around.

Where is he? Twilight thought.

"I'm down here!" Bill said. Twilight looked at the glasses she was holding with her magic and saw Bill in the lemonade.

"What are you doing in there?" Twilight hissed at him.

"Why not?" Bill said. "Anyway, back to the point: I felt like I should warn you that I'm going to start a few pranks."

"What kind of pranks?" Twilight asked. Bill snickered.

"I don't know," he said. "Don't worry, I won't kill anyone." Twilight sighed.

"Well, please don't embarrass Fluttershy!" Twilight said as she exited the kitchen.

"That was a long time just for some drinks," Rainbow Dash said. Twilight shrugged.

"I was thirsty," she lied and handed Fluttershy her drink. "So who's turn is it?"

"Yours," Rarity said. Twilight rolled the dice and was moving her piece when she heard Fluttershy's stomach growl. Twilight glanced up and saw Fluttershy blushing.

"Uh, sorry," she said as her stomach growled again. "Uh, where's the bathroom again?" Twilight pointed towards the kitchen.

"On the other side of the kitchen, on the left side of the hall," she said. Fluttershy stood up and started scurrying towards the bathroom, all the while her blush deepening.

"Did you put something in her drink?" Pinkie asked. "Is that why you were gone for so long?" Twilight was about to answer when they heard a loud and long sound.

"Was that Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I've never seen Fluttershy with a stomach this upset," Rarity said. "I've seen her with an upset stomach before, and this was nothing like it." They heard the monsters sound again. Rainbow Dash groaned.

"Discord must have done this," she said.

"He wouldn't do something like this to Fluttershy," Twilight said. "You've seen the amount of control she has over him."

"Yeah, but the lemonade was in you're house," Rainbow Dash said. "I don't think he would know if anyone else would drink it, besides from Spike."

"I'm going to go see if I can help," Twilight said, standing up and walked towards the bathroom. If she had been blind, she would have been able to locate it be smell alone. Twilight gagged as she hit a nasty stench cloud.

"Fluttershy?" she called. "Are you ok?"

"I am so sorry!" Fluttershy called out. "My stomach has never reacted like this to lemonade before!"

"It's ok!" Twilight said. "I may know a spell for this!"

"Please cast it!" Fluttershy called out. "This is so embarrassing!" Just then Bill appeared in front of Twilight. Twilight scowled at him.

"I told you to not embarrass Fluttershy to much!" Twilight hissed at Bill. Bill shrugged.

"I didn't think she would get so embarrassed!" he whispered. "Besides, I didn't know that that was Fluttershy! You should have told me what she looked like!" Twilight growled and mentally punched herself for making a mistake like that.

Chaos lords, she thought.

"Thank you!" Fluttershy called out.

"For what?" Twilight asked.

"Casting the spell!" Fluttershy said. "I'm starting to feel a bit better!" Just then she farted again, as if to destroy the meaning of what she had just said. "Sorry!" Twilight sighed and looked at Bill.

Hope you like this! I finally had time to finish this chapter and publish it!

Somethings up

A minute later, the rest of the girls were lounging on Twilights furniture (actually, Rainbow Dash was the only one really lounging, the rest of the girls were just sitting). Bill was staring at them, and if he had a mouth, he would probably be grinning mischievously.

"So," Rainbow Dash said. "Why does Celestia want you in her library again?" Twilight sighed.

"To study," she said. Bill snickered.

"And to free me!" he exclaimed to no one in particular. Twilight glanced at him.

"What are you looking at?" Pinkie asked. Twilight looked at her.

"I'm not looking at anything!" she said nervously. "Who said I was looking at anything?" Pinkie giggled.

"Your always looking at something!" Pinkie said. Twilight face hoofed as Pinkie continued to giggle.

"She's funny," Bill commented. "It be a shame....if something happened to her." Twilight stared at him, horrified. Rainbow Dash raised her eyebrow.

Discord must be doing something to her, she thought.

"Umm, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yes?" Twilight asked, looking back at Fluttershy.

"Um, has Discord done something to you?" she asked. Twilight shook her head.

"No, just....thinking...about some of the books I read today. About being a princess," she said. Pinkie giggled again.

"Were they really about being a princess?" Pinkie said, barely containing another laughing fit. "Or was it something else? Like porn?" Then Pinkie started laughing again. Rarity gasped and blushed, along side Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash started laughing and Applejack facehoofed. Twilight blushed and snickered a little.

"Porn, huh?" Bill said. "That's a good idea!" He then disappeared in a flash.

"So, what do you have planned for tonight?" Pinkie asked, finally calming down from her laughing fit. Twilight shrugged.

"I was planing on studying a bit more and then going to sleep," Twilight said. "Why? What are you planning?" Pinkie grinned.

"Oh, I'm not planning anything," she said. "I've already got it planned! Sleepover!" As she said sleepover she threw up her front legs and confetti exploded everywhere.

"Pinkie!" Twilight said. "What if the other girls have things planned?" She glanced at the other girls, but all she got were confirmations that they had nothing planned for that night. Pinkie giggled.

"Don't worry about bags!" she said. "They were in the party explosion!"

"Well then," Twilight sighed. "We might as well do this."

"Yeah!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Now I can meet this new person!" Twilight froze.

"Pinkie, you're imagining things again," Rainbow Dash said. Twilight glanced at Bill. He motioned for her to follow him, so she did, into the kitchen.

"So, it's almost nighttime," Bill said. "At night, it's harder for me to keep up the hidden thing as well." Twilight nodded.

"Ok, so stay in here," she said. Bill made a tsk sound.

"Yeah, that's not going to be possible," he said. "You see, when I meet new people-or in this case, ponies-I need to play pranks and stuff." Twilight stared at him, and sighed.

"As long as it's nothing to serious or suspicious," she said.

"Sure it won't," Bill cackled.
