Double cutiemarks? Double Confusion.
Michael's P.O.V.:
That morning, I woke up shivering, I grabbed for my cover with still closed eyes, but my hooves touched empty air. I groaned and sat up in bed. I rubbed my eyes, then took in the room. Early morning light was filtering through the window in the wall next to my bed. Mudpie, my pet bird, was sitting on the hoof board of my bed, he looked rather annoyed.
I cocked my head and said, "What? I haven't done anything... have I? You really didn't have to take my blanket." Mudpie simply gestured to a mirror across the room and squawked. I glanced toward it and nothing seemed to be out of order, and Mudpie didn't really care for dirt or smudges. He squawked again and I sighed. I stepped out of bed to the cold crystal floor, sending a shock through me and fully waking me up. I walked to the mirror and inspected it, I still found nothing out of the ordinary.
I turned and said, "There’s nothing here Mudp-". Of course I had to glance at my reflection and see something wrong with that. I peered closer at it and confirmed my suspicion, my cutiemark had changed. I checked for my wings and horn, still there. Why do I have this other cutiemark? It still had an open book with a laughing pony on the cover, but it was within a shield; and colored with red, pink, and purple. I then checked my other side, surprisingly, it hadn't changed. This puzzled me, what was this?!
Suddenly, somepony bursts through my bedroom door. She was a teenage female alicorn, with a sunshine yellow coat and golden flowing hair. Her amber eyes were filled with confusion and questioning.
"Do have two different cutiemarks?!", she asked with a loud shout. I finally processed what she said and my eyes widened. Looks like I wasn't the only one with a weird morning.
