What if the characters from 'After That Fateful Night' were separated by a cross-dimensional trip?

The characters from the fan-fiction 'After That Fateful Night' - by Peppy Greyskull - are separated by a cross-dimensional trip. Written through the perspective of Twilight Sparkle. Will she be able to reunite with her love again? Will her love be tarnished by the very workings of time itself?

Looking one year into Twilight's plight, we will see what becomes of her relationship with Nightmare Moon and what becomes of her life.

This is my very first clop-fic, and if you ignore the one chapter of 'Code Equine' that I plan to rewrite, you could say its my first ever fan-fic. I don't plan on this being short, there is so much that can happen in a scenario like the one I came up with.

Chapter 1 – The Day of the Summer Sun Celebration

Chapter 1 – The Day of the Summer Sun Celebration

“HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!”

“You two should see the look on your faces!” Discord exclaimed with a huge grin on his face, not even the faintest trace of glee was missing from his voice. “Oh… What a laugh! Twilight Sparkle, the former wielder of The Element of Magic and Queen Moon, in love. With Celestia banished, Equestria having been struck by the carnage of war, and the Elements of Harmony scattered across the land it will be oh so easy to spread my chaos.”

“Enough of that Discord,” Nightmare Moon began, seething with rage. “What have you done with Moon Beam?!”

“Oh, does the queen miss her precious dolly?” Discord asked, chuckling openly and without fear. “I wouldn’t worry about it too much; you will find her, maybe.”

“How dare you call her that?!” Twilight asked, raising her voice to nothing short of a bellow, all the hairs of her Byzantium coat practically standing on end with her rage. “She isn’t a doll, she is our daughter!”

With both Nightmare Moon and Twilight’s horn glowing with black magic, Discord felt the killing intent they had in store for him in their attack. Knowing that his fun was about to be cut short, he felt like he should make a quick move of his own.

With a quick wave, he sent a small white flare of magic in the direction of Nightmare Moon. Whatever spell Discord had just used was too quick for her to dodge and with an overwhelming bright flash, she vanished.

Twilight froze, and with a crackle, the black magic that had been building around her horn had dispersed. It took a moment for her to recover before she could find her voice, and when she did find it, all she could do was shout at the top of her lungs. “LUUUUUNNNNNAAAAA!!!!” She turned her head in the direction of Discord, only to find her eyes being engulfed by a bright flash of white light.

~{B}~{T}~{F}~{N}~

A Certain Lavender colored Unicorn found herself waking up with a start. After letting out a rather loud yawn, she got out of bed and stretched. But before she could start the normal proceeds of her day, she had to add an important entry into her life’s journal. And so she made her way up to the writing desk in her bedroom, and used a magically conjured key to unlock one of the desk’s drawers.

After pulling open the drawer, she used her magic to levitate her journal out of it and placed it along with her key onto the top of the desk. She sat down comfortably in front of the desk, used her magic once again to levitate a pen and opened the journal to the nearest blank page. After letting out a sigh, she began to write, but not with much enthusiasm.

Dear Journal

I had that dream again. ‘The Dream’ of course, the one that constantly reminds me of that night where me and my love were forcibly separated and I was thrown into a whole new life thanks to the magic of Discord. Oh how I miss you my queen, my dearest Nightmare, my Luna.

It has been exactly one year since the day I ‘arrived’ in this world. I, Twilight Sparkle, have somehow been thrown back in time, but it is however not as simple as that. While most methods of time travel are depicted in that, when you are sent to this new time, you are exactly who you were before being sent, both in body and mind. But whatever magic Discord used on me was not like that at all.

As it would turn out, all the memories I have gathered throughout my life up to that point, were somehow placed into the body of a younger version of me. So, putting it in simple terms, my current body had lived for about 11 years, but I had about 13 years of memories. Now that a year has passed, my current body has about 12 years of growth, but my memories express 14 years.

I would not usually go into that much detail about my year long predicament, considering I already covered it all with the mass of previous entries made on this subject. However, because it has been exactly one year, this entry is special, because if I might be so bold to say, this day is very special.

Today is the day I first go to Ponyville, this is the day of the Summer Sun Celebration, this is the day I meet the other wielders of The Elements of Harmony, this is the day I first meet the love of my life, Nightmare Moon. How I know this for sure is simple, I have already experienced this day before. I know what is going to happen.

While it would seem that the day I meet my love is something to celebrate, I can’t help but feel that it is not. I have been living my life for the past year, but not in trying new things, instead, I have been trying my hardest to mimic the actions I had taken to get to where I was in the life where I have my love.

I admit I cannot perfectly mimic everything, for I have done things slightly differently than what I had done before. And while I have, to this day, had the same experiences that I had in my other life, I can’t help but feel nervous every morning, fearing that something will happen. Something that will lead my life in a different direction than what I intend, away from the embrace of the one I love.

I don’t believe in love at first sight, it didn’t happen before, and it certainly won’t happen this time. No, after today, after I meet Nightmare Moon, I will have to continue this façade, and continue mimicking the life I had already walked once before. If it all works out, if I once again gain the love that was ripped from me, then and only then can I begin to change.

As always, I will continue this entry after I am finished for the day. And if you see that there is no more written past this point, you are free to assume the worst.

After letting out another sigh, this one resounding with an air tense nervousness, Twilight started putting away her supplies for writing closed the drawer. After using her magic to once again hide her key to the drawer, where she, and only she, could be able to conjure it from its hidden location, she picked up her saddle bags.

She then placed her journal in the saddle bags, because today she had to take everything important with her, because she knew that she was going to be leaving her home in Canterlot, and will be going to the town of Ponyville shortly. To everypony else, it will be her first ever visit. But to Twilight, it will be her second ‘first ever visit’.

~{B}~{T}~{F}~{N}~

A very nervous Lavender coated unicorn mare and an enthusiastic baby dragon found themselves on a ride through the skies on a chariot pulled by two male pegasi. While the unicorn, Miss Twilight Sparkle, was making a face in mock frustration, the baby dragon named Spike held a piece of parchment with his two tiny claws. The chariot getting ever closer to their destination as Spike began to read from the parchment.

“My dear Twilight, there is more to a young pony’s life than studying. So I’m-“He had begun reading aloud, however the listener wasn’t quite down to Equestria and didn’t really register what she was hearing. All she could think about was what she had to do for the next several hours, how she was about to relive probably one of the most eventful days of her previous life. She just couldn’t stop thinking, how would she be able to go through this very stressful day without losing herself and messing up everything she had been working for the past year.

She thought about how she was about to once again meet her best friends ‘for the first time’ and how the slightest mistake could ruin her chances of getting her true love back. Her thoughts wound about like this for a small period of time before she finally snapped back from her trance to hear Spike finish reading the letter she had received from Princess Celestia. “-make some friends!”

Twilight groaned. She just couldn’t shake the jitters that had been building up after she woke up that morning.

“Look on the bright side Twilight!” Spike began, his voice showing that he was tons more excited than Twilight. “The princess arranged for you to stay in the library, doesn’t that make you happy?!”

Even though she wasn’t really happy in the slightest, she was snapped out of her stupor and began to feel slightly better, because she had just remembered her response to Spike’s enthusiastic outburst. “Yes!” Twilight began. “Yes it does. You know why?! Because I’m right! I’ll check on the preparations as fast as I can… Then get to the library to find proof of Nightmare Moon’s return!” It always was a pick-me-up for Twilight if she could remember her responses word for word.

Spike wasn’t all that satisfied with Twilight’s revelation. “Then… when will you make friends like the princess said?”

“She said to check on preparations…” Twilight had begun her reply, they were now about to touch down in their destination, the town of Ponyville. “I am her student, and I’ll do my royal duty. But the fate of Equestria does not rest on me making friends.” As Twilight finished, the chariot touched down.

The two pegasi chariot drivers gave a whinny announcing their arrival at their destination, to which Twilight quickly hopped down and politely said, “Thank you, sirs.” To which they both gave slight nods of appreciation.

Twilight began to feel her nerves getting to her again now that she was back in the distantly familiar town of Ponyville, but manages to keep up her enthusiastic façade. As Spike managed to maintain his enthusiasm saying, “Maybe the ponies in Ponyville have interesting things to talk about!” Twilight felt her stomach bottoming out as she saw a familiar pink pony with a mane and tail that looked like cotton candy came trotting up to them.

Twilight’s nerves were practically on fire, as Pinkie Pie came to a stop right in front of them, not even noticing that Spike was saying, “Come on Twilight… Just try!”

Twilight felt pressured, she felt like any words she dare utter will cast her into oblivion. So reluctantly, Twilight began to speak. “Uh… Hello?”

Pinkie jumped quite a few feet into the air and let out a huge gasp, perhaps she was trying to jump up to moon and at the same time, trying to suck in enough air to support her for a lifetime of floating in space. As quickly as Twilight was getting her sense of déjà vu, Pinkie Pie was already running off into the distance.

Twilight quickly recovered from her déjà vu induced trance, coming back with memories of what she said next. “Well that was interesting alright!” And she began walking in direction of their next destination, and Spike let out a sigh and started following her.

The pair found themselves walking in the direction of Sweet Apple Acres. Twilight was still really nervous, but felt much more confident than she had earlier. As they made their approach to the front gates of their destination Spike was reading off another piece of parchment. “Summer Sun Celebration Official Overseer’s Checklist: Number one, Banquet preparations, Sweet Apple Acres!”

They were just passing through the entrance as they heard a loud cry of “YEEEEEEEEHAAAWW!” from behind them. They both turned around sharply and they were both kind of spooked, even Twilight who had already experienced this before.

An orange coated mare with a blonde mane and tail wearing a hat and had a cutie mark of three apples could be seen charging towards a tree. She drew herself to a stop, giving the tree a powerful buck that knocked all its apples loose and into some buckets down below.

Twilight gave a sigh, and followed up by saying, “Let’s get this over with…” sounding rather off put, but she was actually rather proud of herself, she had yet again remembered what she said and did down to the smallest detail. And so she made her approach to the familiar athlete of a mare to give her a formal greeting.

“Good afternoon. My name is Twilight Sparkle.” Her greeting was calm. Her greeting was dignified. Her greeting was met with a nostalgia inducing hoofshake.

“Well howdy doo Miss Twilight! A pleasure makin’ your acquaintance!” she began, giving Twilight the most powerful hoofshake of her life. Well… Twilight’s already gone through it before but… Oh well… “I’m Applejack. We here at Sweet Apple Acres sure do like makin’ new friends!”

“Friends… Actually I… Uh…” said Twilight, still on the receiving end of the hoofshake, her voice wobbling from the vibrations.

Applejack finally parted from the hoofshake and asked, “So… What can I do you for?” while Twilight was still wobbling her forehoof, not aware that Applejack had already let go.

Spike stopped Twilight and giggled, to which Twilight frowned. “Ahem… Well I am in fact here to supervise preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration. And you’re in charge of the food?”

Applejack gave a quick reply of “We sure as sugar are! Would you care to sample some?”

“Well as long as it doesn’t take too long…” But Applejack didn’t even wait to listen to all of Twilight’s response.

Here it comes…

“SOUPS ON EVERYPONY!” Applejack cried out while giving a chime (of some sort) a quick ring. The response was immediate, and the response was fierce. A horde of ponies came running out and picked up Twilght and Spike along the way.

They found themselves at a picnic table, and Applejack enthusiastically pitched her sale. “Now… why don’t I introduce yall to the Apple family?” Whilst gesturing her hoof to the large crowding of ponies surrounding them.

Twilight, who legitimately did want a way out of this situation, but knew she couldn’t do anything to corrupt her future went along and said her remembered lines. “Thanks… but I really have to hurry.”

“This here’s Apple Fritter, Apple Bumpkin, Red Gala(?), Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Caramel Apple, Apple Strudel, Apple Tart, Baked Apple, Apple Fria(?), Apple Cinnamon Crisp-“ Each person named while they placed a pastry on the table. Applejack took a big breath then continued, “Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom, AAAND Granny Smith”. And pointedly shoved an apple into Twilight’s mouth as she finished. “Up and at ‘em Granny Smith! We’ve got guests.”

Granny Smith got up and mumbled off something unintelligible as she walked up to them. Applejack resumed. “I say, you’re already part of the family!”

Twilight spit out the apple and without even thinking about what to say next said the first words that came naturally to her in this situation. “Ah Ha Ha! Okay… Well… I can see the food situation is handled so we’ll be on our way!” And she made a gesture that she was going to leave.

Devious Apple Bloom and her puppy eye technique was her defeat, even if she had already seen it. “Aren’t you going to stay for brunch?”

Twilight was already more than inclined to stay, but knew she had to her act to maintain and proceeded to reply with, “Sorry… But we have an awful lot to do.” Too which she got the reaction she was expecting, a cry of “Awww…” from the lot of ‘em.

In mock frustration, she gave her finalizing statement. “Fine…”Which earned her the Apple Family’s happy cries of celebration.

I missed this crazy town!

~{B}~{T}~{F}~{N}~

And so, she made it through her day. It was tiring, stressing, and difficult because today happened to be one of her more active days of communication. Not often did this scholar get out during the past year. She had been busy with her studies, though to her advantage, she had already done them, so in the time that she wasn’t doing so, she had been researching more about the Elements of Harmony in secret.

So, much to her satisfaction, she did not have to communicate and interact with others all that much and ruin the timeline leading to her desired future. She had instead been researching how to control the powers of the Elements of Harmony so that incase Nightmare Moon didn’t prepare the protection she had last time, she would still be able to weaken the Elements’ magic enough so that they do not destroy Nightmare.

She now found herself lying in her bed, the sounds of Pinkie Pie’s ‘Welcome to Ponyville’ party down below. For a while now she had been up there, using her alone time to brood over what was about to happen in a few short hours. Her thoughts spinning about, she couldn’t focus on anything but what the future held and what a relief it will be when Nightmare finally ‘kidnaps’ her like she had done before.

Her thought patterns were however interrupted when Spike suddenly walked into her room. “Hey Twilight! Pinkie Pie’s starting pin the tail on the pony! Want to play?”

Twilight, being rather nervous, only half mocked the frustration in her reply. “NO! All the ponies in this town are crazy! Do you know what time it is?!”

Twilight’s bad mood didn’t put a damper on Spike’s spirits and responded, “It is the eve of the Summer Sun Celebration. Everypony has to stay up or else they’ll miss the princess raise the sun. You really should lighten up Twilight. It’s a party!”

As Spike walked out of the room, Twilight muttered unintelligible gibberish, flaunting a frustration that wasn’t really there. And after the door closed, she couldn’t hold back a sigh.

Twilight, knowing what was soon to happen, couldn’t help but say a few words to herself, hoping that talking about it, even if only to herself, would be enough to relieve her nerves. “Oh Luna, Moonbeam, Cherry, Cloudy, I hope that by the end of the day that I will be one major step closer to reuniting with you all again.”

Twilight took a glance at the moon and sighed again. “Oh how I love you all… I promise I will not fail.”

Twilight’s train of thought was once again interrupted by Spike, this time bursting through the door. “Come on Twilight! It’s time to watch the sunrise!”

Twilight was very nervous going into the town hall, but she knew that she had to do it, and so found herself standing there, closely eyeing the spot where her true love will soon appear. Sure enough, she was distracted by Pinkie Pie. “Isn’t this exciting?! Are you excited?! ‘Cause I’m excited! I’ve never been so excited! Well… Except for the time I saw you walking into town and I went ‘gasp’ but I mean really, who can top that?!”

If Twilight had a response – which she didn’t – well… She didn’t get a chance to utter it, as the music began to flare and spotlight began to shift. The spotlight made its way to an older looking mare standing in the hotspot of the room, and she began to speak. “Fillies and Gentlecolts! As mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration.” Her greeting was met with cheers from almost everypony.

The mayor continued, “In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise, and celebrate this, the longest day of the year! And now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land. The very pony who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day! The good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria… Princess Celestia!”

The curtains on the Balcony above were pulled back, and much to everyone’s confusion, Princess Celestia who they had been expecting to be behind them, was not there.

“This can’t be good!” The words felt like poison as they left Twilight’s mouth. Even for the act, she couldn’t help but kick herself for saying such a thing when she knew what it signified.

Worried mutters were scattering like wildfire amongst the crowd, and the mayor felt she should try to douse the fire before it grew wild. “Remain calm everypony. There must be a reasonable explanation.”

Pinkie was next to talk, but Twilight didn’t register it, she didn’t register anything for that matter, she knew what was coming, and she was waiting with bated breath.

It felt like an eternity, an agonizing eternity, but finally all the talk was gone, and she could see it, the purple haze on the balcony top where her Luna was about to appear. And as it expanded, she couldn’t talk, she couldn’t do anything, she just stared as everything seemed to be going in slow motion.

And then, she finally came into view, Nightmare Moon was visible, in front of Twilight’s eyes, gazing down upon everypony, and Twilight was staring deep into her eyes. Twilight’s heart was pounding like mad, her mind was racing, and she was slipping off into a daze.

Oh how I have missed her. The way her mane billows like smoke in the wind. The way her armor shines in the moonlight. The way that her bodies very frame commands respect. The way her lips feel pressed against mine. The way our tongues entwine and dance. The way she-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WARNING, CLOP CHAPTER

Tentacles are used, need I say more...

Chapter 2 – The Night of the Summer Sun Celebration

Every pony in Ponyville Town Hall was silent. The expressions on their faces were a mix of shock and horror. Before their very eyes, they could see a truly unprecedented scene. A scene in which they could see a Lavender colored unicorn, and the evil ‘Mare in The Moon’, Nightmare Moon, and that they were suddenly locking lips in front of all of them.

Twilight, now recovered from her daze, quickly parted lips with Nightmare Moon, in total shock. Within a second, she found herself lying flat on the floor with her head buried under her hooves. She knew she had screwed up, she had lost her self control, and that she was about to face the most agonizing torment of her life.

Oh man… When did I teleport up to her?! How did I lock lips with her without noticing?! Is she going to kill me right now?! Will she torture me to the point I-

Twilight found her train of thought interrupted when she suddenly felt herself being tackled back first to the ground. She was preparing for the most agonizing torment of her life, something that will make her wish she was dead, but instead, she found that she was completely wrong.

She suddenly felt the weight of Nightmare Moon’s lips pressed up against her own, and out of shock, she slightly parted her lips, which gave Nightmare the opportunity she needed to slip her tongue into her mouth. As she felt her love’s tongue brush up against her own, she also began to use her tongue and began to embrace and entwine it with her lovers’.

For what felt like an eternity, Twilight and Nightmare kept up their passionate kiss, and it was all being witnessed by everypony in town, but she didn’t care, she didn’t even notice. Twilight could only concentrate on one thing, she had Nightmare Moon, her lover, and she had her locked in the kiss that officially stands as the marker for their long awaited reunion.

Already, Twilight could feel a burning in her haunches, a longing she has had for the past year that only her true love could quench. The kiss only lasted a few seconds longer, for they both desperately needed to breathe, almost as if they had temporarily forgotten that they had the ability to do so. And so, they hesitantly parted their lips.

After catching her breath, Nightmare finally managed to pant out the words “Twilight… How in Equestria did I not fall in love purely from the beauty of your Lavender coat?” And it was those words that sealed the deal. If nothing else did, then those words proved it, this was the same Queen Moon she fell in love with. And she couldn’t be more grateful of it; by some miracle they had both retained their memories and their feelings for each other, even through this cross-dimensional trip.

When they both caught their breath, they were eager to resume, maybe even go further… But before they could, they got cut short by the first pony from the crowd who found the ability to speak.

“What in the sam hay is goin’ on?!” And so, it turned out that the speaker was none other than Applejack, who still held the same shocked expression on her face.

Twilight, who suddenly became slightly more aware of her surroundings began to stutter out “Um… Uh… I..” But found herself being interrupted by Nightmare, who started gathering magic in her horn. And just as she was about to inquire about what Nightmare was going to do, she felt the familiar sensation of being teleported.

By the time she was aware of it, she was already back in her bedroom in the Ponyville library with her love laying in the same position she was before the teleport, right over her, muzzle only a few inches away from her own. After realizing her situation, and regardless of the heat of it, she couldn’t help but inquire “Why did you suddenly teleport away like that?”

Nightmare chuckled and replied with “They were about to interfere, we can’t stop now, we just found each other again”. And without any warning, because she just couldn’t hold back anymore, she slowly began to lower herself down towards Twilight’s nether region, tracing her tongue along Twilight’s chest as she went.

Any thought of stopping left Twilight as her first moan escape her lips. Nightmare continued trailing her tongue down, coming to a stop at Twilight’s nipples, which she began to lick and suck passionately. And as Nightmare had expected, this made Twilight moan even more and even gave a soft squeal. But neither she nor Twilight could handle it anymore, just as the thought began to cross her mind Twilight gave her hips a slight suggestive shake. And so, Nightmare finally lowered her muzzle to Twilight’s already dripping wet slit.

Before Nightmare began, she couldn’t help but take a long sniff, Twilight had a scent she had missed oh so very much, and she relished in it. She stuck her tongue out, but before she gave in she couldn’t help but think.

Oh dear me… I’m being quite selfish aren’t I? A moment like this should be ‘shared’.

With a chuckle she started to shift position and said “Twilight, I do believe that are ‘69’ better ways of handling this.”

Twilight caught on very quick, gave a chuckle, and quickly switched position as well. Twilight and Nightmare were now wrapped around each other, each had their muzzles right up near each other’s slits, and in perfect synchronization poked their tongues out. As Nightmare waved her tongue slowly along the full length of Twlight’s folds, she could tell Twilight was doing the same. They both wanted to savor the flavors of each other, a taste that they missed so much, it was almost agonizing.

As they started working their tongues up and down, they didn’t even consider holding back their moans of pleasure and bliss, for they both knew that the other wanted it to hear it, they needed to hear it. The harmony in which they were moving their tongues and singing their moans would even make the ‘Elements of Harmony’ themselves cry in envy.  Soon enough though, they started sliding their tongues in, pulling them out and sucking each other’s clits and nothing could stop them.

They couldn’t tell if it was perhaps just the fact that they had missed each other so much that they were so unprecedentedly sensitive, but they were both going over the edge, and they could hear it and understand it like as if the moans and squeals they were making was a spoken language of its own. They both bore themselves into a frenzy of wild licks and sucks and reached their orgasms at lightning speed.

As their muscles contracted and they felt the intense waves of pleasure, they let out muffled squeals into each others honey pots, which served to intensify the effective power of each wave. All the while they felt each other squirt splashes of juices across their muzzles. And as it slowly cooled down, they pulled away, each panting in bliss.

After a little bit of rest, they sat up and hugged each other for a quick and passionate kiss. They were nowhere near satisfied and weren’t going to hold out any longer. After a moment of silence spent staring into each others eyes, Nightmare broke the silence by asking “Twilight, want to give that spell a shot?”

Twilight smiled and got up and gave a slightly nervous chuckle. “Of course, but I just realized that this is my younger body and I’m a virgin again.”

In return, Nightmare gave a small laugh, got up, and made her way over to Twilight’s bed, which they had neglected to use without even noticing. As she laid flat across the bed spreading out her hind legs she asked “Who else can say they had their virginity taken twice?” with a noticeable rhetorical tone in her voice.

Twilight gave another soft chuckle, closed her eyes, and began to concentrate her magic onto Nightmare’s pubic region. Nightmare also closed her eyes as she began to feel the distantly familiar sensation of twisting in her haunches, though the feeling was quite unnatural, the memories it brought back made her all the more eager.

Twilight finished her spell and was the first to open her eyes, and to her dismay, found something that she was not expecting at all. “Uh oh…” were the only words she could utter, much to the contrary of the thoughts that were racing through her head.

Oh noooo! How did I mess up the spell?! How could I ruin such a perfectly could situation with such a stupid mistake?! Erm… Erm… I believe there is something in the library that can help me fix this…

“’Uh oh’ what do you mean?”Asked Nightmare, who was now quite confused. She opened her eyes and started to sit up to look at her haunches, and what she saw made her eyes widen in disbelief.

As Twilight turned around, she didn’t notice the grin that started to form on Nightmare’s face, and quickly darted for the door and started moving the handle saying “Don’t worry! I know I have books that can help sort- “only to be cut short by the feeling of magic enveloping and levitating her into the air.

Her body began to move around on its own, eventually putting her into a position where her upper body was aiming towards the ceiling and her lower body towards the floor, almost like standing. She felt the magic turning her around, facing her and pulling her closer to Nightmare, who she couldn’t help but notice, had a rather malicious looking grin on her face.

She gave a short laugh and asked “Twilight, don’t these remind you of anything?”

Twilight looked down, taking a glance at what looked like 3 long stallionhoods, one of which had its tip being levitated off the floor and was giving some very suggestive looking thrusts. It took a second, but the realization finally dawned on her, and felt her cheeks flush. “Um… they look like… tentacles.”

Nightmare’s grin widened and asked in a fairly seductive tone “And don’t you, as a scholar, want to try and experiment?”

Twilight’s cheeks went even further scarlet, this was something she had never even considered before, the idea felt so wrong, yet it also felt so right. She very nervously gave her reply of “…yes.”

Nightmare maintained her grin and suddenly she felt some of the heat she had lost coming back to her. “As a token of my appreciation, I give you first move.”

Twilight took a pause to think, and after a moment, she decided on something less risky, as she was still quite nervous. So she steeled herself and used her magic to levitate one of the tentacles into the air and started to softly stroke the end of its shaft with one of her fore hooves.

Between the quizzical look forming on Twilight’s face and the ministrations she was applying to her shaft, Nightmare couldn’t help but shudder and coo from the bliss she was feeling.

After giving a quiet cough to catch Nightmare’s attention she finally began to speak with a tone similarly used if one was giving a lecture. “First, we start with research subject number 1, Fellatio. There are a few rules and steps and I expect you to listen attentively.” As she spoke, she was still applying ministrations to the shaft, and gave Nightmare a quick glance to make sure she was paying attention.

Once she determined that Nightmare was registering what she was saying she continued, “Rule number 1: During this subject, I make all the moves, you just sit quietly. Rule number 2: You can’t distract me; only speak when I ask you to, unless it is important. And moving to steps, step number 1:  After I begin, I will have to determine how you react. Step number 2: After you finish, you have to tell me if it feels any different than normal.”

As Nightmare listened, she couldn’t help but notice how much she was getting turned on. She couldn’t tell if it was because the tone of Twilight’s voice, or how commanding her requests are, or perhaps both, but it was almost like they were playing a game. And judging by the drips coming off Twilight’s flower that were landing with ‘plops’ on the floor, she assumed Twilight was getting turned on too. Her thought processes were suddenly interrupted though as Twilight began her ‘research’.

Twilight started by bringing the shaft closer to her mouth and she began to give it sensual licks, which made Nightmare give a soft moan.  She then proceeded to lick circles around its head, which earned her the delight of hearing a shudder and more moans. After a little bit of this and that with her tongue, she then gave it a go and plopped the head and a little bit of its shaft into her mouth. She heard a significantly more noticeable moan, but it was still pretty soft, and so she began to give it a few licks and started to suck. After hearing another moan that was moderately louder, she decided to continue with it for a bit, during which, Twilight was really starting to feel heat.

She gave it a slightly more powerful suck, eliciting a rather loud gasp from Nightmare followed by a long coo of pleasure. And with a plop she let the shaft out of her mouth, and took a second to catch her breath before asking “So, what do you make of it?”

“Hmmm…” Nightmare began. “I would say that it doesn’t feel quite as sensitive as I remember it being, but that was quite a while ago…” A disappointed look formed on her face and she asked, “Why did you stop? It was getting really good…”

Twilight giggled before saying, “I kind of figured it wouldn’t be as sensitive, because the pleasure might be divided amongst the three. And as for your question, I was only taking a moment to assess what you had to say. Don’t…” She gave the tip of the tentacle a lick. “…worry.”

Within seconds, Twilight was in full gear, and Nightmare really felt it. She took it in back in her mouth, licked circles around the head and shaft and started to suck soft and hard, occasionally going throat deep. Nightmare was really sent through a loop with this ferocious onslaught and she began to moan and gasp like… well… crazy!

She lasted for about two minutes going through this loop, her voice growing ever louder as time went on, and as she began to reach climax, Twilight took notice. Just as Nightmare was about to cum, she quickly pulled out and began to give the end of the tentacle some rough strokes with her forehoof, drawing Nightmare to the edge.

Spurt after spurt of semen began to shoot out, covering Twilight’s muzzle and somewhat down her chest. And after they both caught their breath, Twilight couldn’t help but lick what she could off her Muzzle before beginning to say. “Well, it tastes the same.” She swallowed then continued. “Did you feel anything different at the climax?”

Nightmare, still panting started with, “Hmmm…” started rubbing a hoof to her chin and continued, “I would say that it leaves me feeling strangely incomplete. Like as if I only partially achieved the game winning score.”

Twilight, who was both listening and examining the aftermath on her chest, gave a smile. “I was expecting something like that; the feeling of climax is also divided up between the three.” And as an afterthought added, “I’m a little messy, aren’t I?”

Nightmare giggled. “Probably not as messy as this is going to be at the end. So… what is the next subject?” Nightmare began to smile quite widely as she finished speaking.

Twilight once again returned to her tone that sounded like she was giving a lecture. “Research subject number 2: Vaginal, this subject also has some steps and rules. Rule number 1:  You will not lose control. Rule number 2: You will only take the lead when I say. And for the steps, step number 1: I will be in the taking the lead at first, because I can’t risk you losing control, as I am still a virgin. And I will divulge the specifics of step number 2 later.”

After hearing these words, Nightmare thought she was going to go crazy; the anticipation has had her standing on her toes for a while. She didn’t have to wait long, as Twilight used her magic to switch out for a different tentacle, and she levitated its shaft to rest against her slit.

She rubbed it along her slit, to coat and lubricate it with her juices, and she gave a soft moan, which made her realize just how much she had been on fire from everything she had been doing up to this point. After a few seconds, she aimed its tip to be right between her folds and she took a deep breath and relaxed. And then slowly, she used her magic to have the tentacle penetrate her.

When she started to feel some pain, she gave it a little more force, so that she could get through the final break a little more easily. “Ow!” It hurt! It actually hurt quite a bit! But, regardless, she started moving the tentacle back and forth and slowly but surely, the pain began to subside.

Despite Nightmare’s desire to moan with pleasure, she tried to hold it back, feeling concerned for Twilight, and was about to ask if they should hold off for a moment. But just as she started to part her lips to ask, she instead couldn’t hold back a loud moan, as Twilight began to increase her pace using her magic to slide the Tentacle through her more rapidly.

As the pain was subsiding, Twilight couldn’t help but immerse herself in the feeling of having her love inside her after so long a time. She appreciated every aspect of it, the way it pulsed, the way it seemed to fit her just perfectly, the way it stretched her out, and the way it seemed to channel their love. And of course, the way it was giving her a pleasure she had been deprived of for quite some time now.

Twilight kept increasing the pace, and both she and Nightmare’s moans began to sound like they were being synchronized into song like before.  She stopped suddenly, and took a few panting breaths before she took a moment to say, “Step n- number 2: Rut… Me… HARD!”

This unusual break in Twilight’s composure would normally have surprised Nightmare, but she was way too eager to take notice. So she quickly wrapped her tentacle that was still inside Twilight with magic of her own, and Twilight immediately followed by releasing her magic that was holding it. Nightmare took a quick breath to prepare herself, and began her work as per Twilight’s request.

Nightmare began at a fairly slow and soft pace, but she increased it very rapidly, and soon enough she was rutting Twilight deep and hard. The two of them quickly lost control of their voices, they were moaning, gasping, and cooing together in a most beautiful, and yet, very lewd duet.

Twilight found herself having difficulty in being able to appreciate every little inch as she had been doing before, because she was having a rather difficult time catching up with all the sensations. What she did know is, she loved every last bit of what she could keep track of, and overwhelming pleasure and how the waves just kept increasing, both in power and in speed.

Nightmare found herself immersed in every detail of pleasure that Twilight was, she could even feel her idle tentacles pulsing in bliss. It was growing slightly more difficult to focus on her magic, but her levitation spells weren’t going to give, she’d make sure of that.

They both had lost track of time, but if they hadn’t been so focused on their session together, they would be surprised at how long they were lasting, considering the pace and technique Nightmare had been using. For several long minutes the rutting lasted, but all good things must ‘come’ to an end, and they both felt themselves thrown into the amazing sensations of an orgasm.

With several deep ruts, Nightmare unloaded her seed into Twilight’s flower. And in turn, the warm and sticky fluid sent Twilight’s senses soaring to new heights. She felt contraction after contraction, wave after wave, she was burning hot, and there were no words she could utter for what she felt.

With no words they could use to describe the sensations of their orgasms, all they could do is let out a loud squeal of their pleasure that shook the bedroom. As their orgasms began to cool down, a stream of semen began to leak out of Twilight’s plugged flower and it started to pool on the floor below.

For a while, they both remained as they were, panting away the exhaustion that was becoming rather noticeable at this point. After this period was over, they were finally out of their daze and had finally caught their breaths, their nether regions still giving the occasional twitch.

Twilight finally broke their silence as she pulled the tentacle out of her flower, and the rest of the semen still inside spurted out and joined the pool on the floor. She raised it up to her mouth and licked and sucked it till all the remaining cum was gone. Then she took a deep breath and began, “Research subject number 3: The Finale.”

This made Nightmare perk up and her eager smile returned to her face. Twilight continued, “This subject has two rules and two steps. Rule number 1: during the first step, I take the wheel. Rule number 2: during the second step, I handle the fellatio. And the steps are… Step number 1…”  Twilight began licking the Tentacle she had in front of her face, but then used her magic to float another tentacle up towards her nether region. And after steeling herself, plopped the tip of the tentacle into her anus. “…anal.”

Nightmare gave a satisfied smile as Twilight began to move the tentacle. She started out slowly, but began to notice that it didn’t hurt as much as she’d been expecting.

Not as tight as I thought it would be… Guess I can move to the second step soon.

Twilight quickly increased her pace while still applying ministrations to the tentacle above with her tongue, and moans began to escape her and Nightmare’s mouths once again. And pretty soon, they started singing their lewd duet once again.

But before Twilight could lose herself, she stopped and after a few pants she gave her final set of lectural words, “Step… Number 2: Go…” She levitated the remaining idle tentacle to her nether region and plopped it into her flower. “…Wild!”

Before Nightmare had a chance to make her advance, Twilight quickly plopped the tentacle near her muzzle into her mouth, and released her magical grip on it. And just as soon as she began to move her mouth, she felt Nightmare’s magic take over the tentacles below, to which she release her magical grip on them.

As Twilight gripped the tentacle in her hooves and started to slide her mouth along it, she felt the calm before the storm begin to ensue, as she felt Nightmare slowly begin to work at both of her love holes. While Twilight was letting out muffled moans that vibrated the phallus in her mouth, she couldn’t help but hear Nightmare as she started to sing with her beautiful and enchanting moans and gasps.

The two of them began to moan louder as they changed their techniques. While Twilight began to twirl her tongue around the tentacle she worked on, Nightmare began to take trade-off strokes with her tentacles in Twilight’s holes. As one pushed in, the other pulled out, making them both break out into long moans from the seemingly unending pleasure, and if their voices would allow them, they could just break into one that wouldn’t stop.

It didn’t take long before they increased their pace, and they did so quite rapidly, losing themselves in the unending waves of pleasure that soon became overwhelming. As their pace reached the edge of what they could possibly exert, they lost track of sounds, they were so overwhelmed by the undying waves of ecstasy that they couldn’t focus on each other’s moans.

All too soon did they find themselves on overdrive and they hit their orgasmic heights ten times over. They were both in the height of their orgasms and they hardly even noticed because they were already so numbed over with pleasure they just couldn’t tell.

Glob after thick glob of semen unloaded into Twilight’s flower and anus, even thicker than the orgasms from before, and even through her plugged holes, the sticky white warmth began to flood out of her holes. And it wasn’t until Twilight got a spurt into her mouth that she noticed they were both in their heights of orgasm, and with very awkward earnest, she pulled it out, but not before it filled her mouth beyond capacity.

Before she knew it, Twilight was giving and earth shattering squeal of pleasure that shook her whole library, which made the semen in her mouth drool out of her mouth and onto her chest. All the while, the tentacle she had pulled out of her mouth was covering her from snout to hind hoof with sperm. She didn’t notice Nightmare’s loud squeal of pleasure, but it was definitely there.

The sperm that was pouring out of her holes and oozing down her body was joining with the pool on the floor below, expanding its radius exponentially. They just couldn’t hold the tentacles any longer and let them gently fall to the floor, the tentacles inside Twilight’s flower and anus plopped out followed by one last stream of sperm to join the pool below.

Twilight’s took the last bit of strength she could muster and swallowed what remained in her mouth, and then let her tongue hang from her mouth, she was in total bliss, and she was totally exhausted. And Nightmare was in similar shape, her eyes were completely glazed over and she was barely able to hold Twilight with her magic.

And with each panting breath they took, the seconds passed. Their fates as tightly entwined as they had ever been as they progressed further along into their future together.

I am willing to accept being judged on the tentacles, I know not everyone likes it. But I am a Zone-Sama fan, even if Zone did insult us bronies, I still like Zone's work. In thus, tentacles are cool to me.

Chapter 3 – The Sun is shining?!

I decided against using the ending I had originally placed at the end of chapter two. To all those who viewed it, sorry, I have a really strange sense of humor sometimes. To all those who didn’t view it, don’t worry… It was really stupid.

Chapter 3 – The Sun is shining?!

It was still quite early in the morning when Twilight and Nightmare woke up, which was quite surprising to them, considering the previous night’s events. They were now downstairs in the main room of Twilight’s library tree home. Much to their gratitude, nobody had approached the library yet. They felt the time alone together was necessary before they could tackle the soon-to-come challenges, plus they had some things to take care of first.

Despite the tiring excursions of the previous night, Twilight found that even though she was quite tired, she had a certain bounce to her step. Perhaps it was partially because of said ‘excursions’, but she felt it had more to do with the fact that she was reunited once again with Nightmare.

While Twilight was rushing about the library in search of a book they needed to remedy the spell-gone-horribly-right, Nightmare was relaxing a little, drinking some tea. She was admiring the tree home that she didn’t get to visit all that often in her previous life. She wasn’t all that used to being in a home with such a small interior, compared to living in a castle like she had done so before, but she found it very comfy and welcoming.

Didn’t take Nightmare all that long before she found her focus back on Twilight, who was hopping throughout the room, checking different shelves with a smile on her face that really showed how positively giddy she was. Nightmare was really ‘admiring’ the sights captured in her eyes now, not even bothering to hold back her smile.

After a few minutes it would appear that Twilight had found what she was looking for, a fairly old but lightly worn book. “Okay Luna, I found the book.” She began, walking up to Nightmare, still smiling as brightly as ever. “I want you to take this upstairs and wait for me; there is something I have to take care of really quick before I reverse that spell.” She held out the book with her magic, waiting for Nightmare to take it.

While Nightmare took the book and went up stairs, Twilight made her way over to her writing desk, pulling out her journal and writing utensils. She opened the journal to the nearest blank page and began to write.

Dear Journal

I must apologize, I know that ‘Best. Night. EVER!’ hardly counts as a descriptive explanation for yesterday’s events, but I was much too tired to write more than that.

After another one of those oh so repetitive days mimicking the actions of my past life to the best of my ability, I was beyond nervous. Now mind you, I loved being able to reunite with my old friends - the bearers of the elements – again, but that built up an ever growing tension that I had been feeling ever sense I wrote the entry yesterday morning.

After the long day, I finally made it to the town hall, the place I saw Nightmare Moon for the first time in my past life. The whole time I was there I felt like I was in a trance, I couldn’t think properly, and I even felt like I could pass out at times.

And when it finally began, when I first saw mists signaling Nightmare’s arrival, time felt like it took a pause. I couldn’t tell, but I knew I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, I was lost in a daze, my thoughts were racing, and when I finally saw Nightmare, I just kind of snapped.

By the time my daze had cleared, I found myself locking lips with Nightmare. At first I was scared stiff, I had somehow managed to curl up within a second and I was waiting for the worst to happen, only to find myself tackled to the floor with my lover’s lips pressed against mine. Not only did she return the kiss, but she returned to me, my long year of turmoil finally over in an instant! She still remembered me, the same way I still remembered her.

After we lost ourselves in the kiss that marked our reunion, she teleported us back to the library. After some unexpected events, we proceeded to have what I call the most intriguing and overall best intercourse I had ever experienced in my whole life. Not only did I get the chance to have my virginity taken for a second time, I also got to explore an area I never even considered before.

After we finished, much to my shock, I managed to convince Nightmare to release Princess Celestia. The only catch to it was that, in exchange, I had to clean up our... little mess. I was quite exhausted already, but beggars can’t be choosers, so after I cleaned up the mess we each took a bath to relax. Immediately following that, Nightmare released Celestia and I wrote down that truly lacking finish to the last entry.

After all was said and done, we were both much too tired to work on reversing the spell and agreed we would handle it in the morning. And that is-

Twilight was suddenly interrupted by a knocking at the front door. She rushed to answer it, god forbid that Nightmare might get any wise ideas to answer it in her current state.

~{B}~{T}~{F}~{N}~

About an hour earlier, at the Canterlot Castle…

Under the looming shadows of walls of the Canterlot Castle, a lone guard stood his post near the Castle’s main entrance. The duties of his post were just as boring as they always were, standing stock still, alert to any possible threats to the castle. However, the information regarding Nightmare Moon’s return and Princess Celestia’s disappearance had the inner workings of his mind in a much more chaotic frenzy.

It took him a while to calm his thoughts; he was so busy with the inner workings of his mind that he didn’t really notice much about the scenery around him. When he finally relaxed he took in the elements of nature, and settled his thoughts on them.

The grass is as slick as ever, the morning dew looks quite beautiful today. Fresh smell of flowers; can’t seem to decipher all the scents though. It is such a shame that the colors of our fine establishments – as in the castle and surrounding buildings – have to clash so aggressively with the beauty of nature. The sun is shining ever so brightly, it is a shame I can’t look at it directly. The breeze is nice t- Wait… The sun is shining… THE SUN IS SHINING!

The guard, finally taking notice that the sun was out, couldn’t help but put to thought how that contradicts with everything that was being spread around the previous night.

Bucking weather ponies, they suck so bad at their job they can’t even tell us when the sun is going to rise. Wait… What am I thinking? I have to inform everypony!

He made a dash for the main door to the castle. He was only inches from the door, getting ready to open it. BAM! He was sent flying through the air as he was hit by the door that just got flung open. He was thrown to the side and out of sight; anypony who was paying attention would have heard him shout his rebuttal of frustration. “AGH! Buck me sideways...” But one is left to wonder. Was anypony doing so?

Princess Celestia stood in the doorway. She looked like she was quite flustered and anxious. She looked worried and frustrated. She even looked a little panicked and like she was in a rush. She looked like she- Hey! Where does she think she’s going when a hard working author is trying to describe her current state of being?!

Celestia made a quick trot up to the sky chariot that just pulled up at the front gates. She took no extra time getting on it. And with a commanding voice, she let her drivers know her destination. “TO PONYVILLE!” And they took flight without question.

~{B}~{T}~{F}~{N}~

Back at the Ponyville library, present time…

Twilight made her way to her front door. Before opening it however, she steeled her resolve. After what happened last night at the town hall, she was sure that the citizens of Ponyville were going to be buzzing with questions. After taking a few deep breaths, and opened her door, not all the way open, but just enough so to reveal her whole frame.

Whatever calming exercises she had put herself through before opening her door were suddenly proven useless. In her doorway stood. “P- P- P- Pri- Princess Celestia?!” She began to stutter out. “I… um… wasn’t expecting you… so soon.”

Celestia, feeling relieved that Twilight was safe, despite everything she had heard, went in to give her a hug. Twilight, though still nervous, welcomed the hug. “Oh… Twilight my faithful student, I am so glad that you are alright. I heard that you were ponynapped by Nightmare Moon.”

Twilight gently pulled out of the hug, and before beginning her response, she felt a sudden curiosity hit her. However she saved that question for later. “Don’t worry. I am quite alright. And I wasn’t ponynapped. The circumstances are going to be a little complicated to explain.”

Celestia smiled warmly. “May I come in? From what I heard from people around town, the events that took place when Nightmare Moon arrived were quite ‘strange’. Not sure what they meant by that.”

Twilight suddenly began to feel very nervous again; she still had to reverse the spell on Nightmare. “I… Er…” Twilight took a breath then continued. “I’m sorry princess, now isn’t a good time, can you come back in about… fifteen minutes. I have something to take care of.”

Celestia was going to protest but decided against it, whatever it was that Twilight had to must be important if it meant that she would have to put off this very crucial matter. “Alright Twilight, I will wait. I will be back in the allotted amount of time.” She began making a turn to leave, but was cut short by Twilight.

“Before you go princess, I must ask. If you did indeed figure that I was ponynapped… How did you know I was here?” Perhaps curiosity was getting the better of Twilight, the question wasn’t exactly necessary.

Celestia rubbed her chin with a forehoof. “That is a good question. Well… the mayor told me you were here. I didn’t ask her how she knew. And she didn’t mention it herself.” She smiled and continued. “If that is all you have left to say, I will be making my short leave.”

“Okay. Um… I guess I will se-“ Twilight was suddenly cut short as she felt something brush up against her marehood that was still a little sensitive from the activities of the previous night. She gave a shudder followed by a sharp gasp. And when her situation dawned on her, her whole face lit up with an extremely bright shade of scarlet.

As Celestia tried to make sense of what she just saw – Twilight suddenly giving some... odd physical reactions -, Twilight jerked back and slammed her front door closed. Celestia was thanking the stars that her face wasn’t close enough to the doors frame for it impact. Then she let her thoughts wander, pondering what just happened.

Celestia, who was trying to keep her mind out of the gutter, had her thoughts interrupted when she heard Twilight shout from the other side of the closed door. “LUUUUUUNNNAAAAAAAA!” After the briefest of pauses, Twilight’s frustrated shout was met with a hysterical burst of laughter. The voice behind the laughter however was not Twilight’s, but Celestia recognized it.

After a brief period in which Celestia could hear the laughing, it was suddenly stopped by another one of Twilight’s shouts. “YOUR SISTER IS HERE!” Frustration was still evident in her voice.

Silence ensued. At least… That is all Celestia could make out from her side of the closed door. During this brief period of silence, Celestia’s mind was going in overdrive. She heard her sister’s voice. She heard Twilight call out her name. She heard the word ‘sister’. But then she began to hear the sound of approaching hoofsteps from the other side of the door.

The door opened again, revealing Twilight and… Nightmare Moon.  Twilight had a very nervous grin on her face; she was facing straight towards Celestia. Nightmare was facing more to the side with her face very near Twilight’s and notably, her hind half was hidden behind the door.

They all remained silent, trying to find the right words. Nightmare and Twilight were trying to think of how they could explain that they were both in the same house together. Celestia was trying to think of how to voice out the most important of her many questions. As the tense silence continued, Twilight’s eyes kept darting to the half of Nightmare Moon that Celestia couldn’t see, but Celestia didn’t take notice of it. And finally, the silence was broken as Celestia finally found what question seemed most suitable.

“Um…  Why is Nightmare Moon here?” She gave a nervous smile. It didn’t make sense to her. Back with her last dealings with Nightmare, Nightmare was very hostile. So why is Nightmare Moon spending a rather leisurely stay at her most faithful student’s house?

Twilight began to stutter out her response. “She um… She is… We… Er…” Twilight took a few deep breaths to stall for time. She gave a nervous glance to Nightmare, who returned it.

After another brief pause, they both finally found their voices again. And with confidence brewing as they locked eyes together, they both recited at the same time “We are in love.” and immediately followed up by pressing their lips together for a possibly-too-passionate kiss.

Celestia was absolutely alarmed at this point. Nothing was making sense now. And she just stood there, trying her best not to gawk at them, feeling it would be an extremely rude gesture. However her mind was still rushing. Her thoughts were jumbled up so badly it seemed like they were forming into something comparable to a drunken slur.

The kiss had lasted perhaps a bit too long. But they finally parted, and Twilight found her voice first. “Luna, can you head back upstairs and wait for me? I will come back up shortly.” She gestured as such to Nightmare and slowly pushed the door in so that she could hide Nightmare as she walked away. She looked back to Celestia who evidently didn’t notice that Twilight was trying to hide anything, which was to her great relief.

As soon as she knew Luna was back upstairs, she motioned for Celestia to come in. And they both took a nervous walk into the open area of the library. “Before I can talk about anything, I still have something to take care of. But how about I start to prepare some tea? While the kettle is heating up I can handle it and you can get comfortable. It will take a lot of time to explain.” As she did so, she was already heading into the kitchen to prepare the tea.

Celestia had a million questions, but she felt it wise to just go along with what Twilight wanted and she gave Twilight a visible nod. As she waited, for Twilight to come out of the kitchen, she sat down on her haunches. After letting her mind rest she just let her eyes wander the library.

Twilight came back out from the kitchen and gave a chuckle before saying. “I need a few minutes to talk to Luna. That is why I was so reluctant to explain anything to you right away. I needed to let her know first.” This wasn’t really a lie; it just wasn’t the whole truth.

Celestia nodded in understanding. “I have no right to stop you.” Twilight smiled in return and made her way upstairs, leaving Celestia to her ever wandering thoughts.

After her climb upstairs, she found Nightmare where she expected her to be, in her bedroom, and as she expected; Nightmare was a quite nervous. She had a right to be, Celestia was the one who banished her to the moon. And now that Nightmare had just done the same to Celestia and released her on the very same night, the whole thing seemed to draw up many uncertainties.

Perhaps it was the fact that both parties had lacked any hostility to each other in their brief encounter. But Nightmare showed that she wasn’t as nervous about Celestia as Twilight had originally thought as she spoke up before Twilight could. “I suppose we should reverse the spell as quickly as possible.” And she gave a nervous chuckle, if only just to calm herself.

Twilight nodded and immediately began scanning the book she had requested Nightmare bring upstairs earlier. As she looked through it for the section she needed to cover to reverse the improperly cast spell she began to speak, to break the silence. “If you do something like that again… I might not be so willing to give these back.” Then she took a glance up to face Nightmare and judge her reaction.

Quick as a whip, Nightmare used her magic to tuck as much of her tentacles behind her and out of Twilight’s view as she could. Simultaneous she formed her face into an adorable pout. She looked like a child trying to prevent her favorite toy from being taken away. The sight seemed so out of place on Nightmare Moon, but Twilight couldn’t help but think it was really cute, and hilarious. And with a whine Nightmare spoke out her complaint. “But they are so much fun!”

Twilight tried her best to stifle a laugh, but failed horribly. She fell over backwards laughing, she couldn’t get over how adorable and out of place it was to see Nightmare react the way she just did. It was even funnier in the fact that it was actually sincere; Nightmare wasn’t acting the scene out at all.

She finally recovered to see Nightmare who was giggling. Twilight took a breath and managed to speak up. “Oh… I can never say no to you. All is forgiven.” And after a final giggle, she went back to her book. Much to her relief, it didn’t take long to find what she was looking for. And after a brief couple of minutes of reading, she stood up.

“Okay Luna. I found it.” She chuckled at what she said next. “Expose yourself for me please.”

Nightmare chuckled and nodded, then proceeded to do as she was told, revealing her tentacles again so Twilight could… work her magic… um… How else can I phrase it?

Not a second wasted, Twilight began to concentrate her magic and directed it at Nightmare’s tentacles. After a little bit of building up the magic necessary, she finally released it. And with a flash, the tentacles were gone. Twilight had to stifle a giggle again when she saw that Nightmare had a disappointed frown etched across her muzzle.

They came to a quick agreement that they were going to give the full story of their past to Celestia. It was for the best, if they withheld important information regarding to their current situation it could make things take a turn for the worse. And with much more confidence than they had before, they came out of the bedroom and down the stairs.

~{B}~{T}~{F}~{N}~

As they made their way to the bottom of the staircase, they noticed that there were more guests in the library than when they were last here. In the middle of the library sat Celestia and five other mares, and they both recognized them. Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie were all sitting next to the princess. The atmosphere seemed a little tense, and as Twilight and Nightmare reached the bottom of the stairs all six of their guests turned their heads to face them.

While these new events sent yet another nervous chill up Twilight’s spine, it also somehow felt like a relief, because this would give her the opportunity to explain everything to possibly some of the most important ponies in her life.

Twilight and Nightmare took slow steps approaching their guests, but it wasn’t really helping the tense atmosphere. As they got close, everypony was suddenly distracted by a loud squeal coming from the kitchen; it was the kettle Twilight had prepared before. So Twilight took the opportunity and went to go get it, her pace had sharpened quite a bit for this task, maybe she felt a little better that she had the chance to walk away from her guests.

In a few minutes she came back, with all the necessary preparations for some tea. As she approached her guests, she felt a lot less tense already, and so she made quick work of serving everypony’s helping of the tea. There was a little more silence in which everypony present took their first sip of tea. And the silence was broken when Twilight decided to speak up.

Putting down her cup, Twilight began.”Before we begin, I have a question to ask… How did everypony know that I was in the library?” And she took a glance around to judge her friends reactions. She was quite shocked to see that her friends, not including Celestia, were suddenly blushing.

Rarity was the one to answer. “Twilight dear, anypony within a decent distance from the library could” She paused, thinking of how best to finish. “…hear you.”

Twilight’s whole face went scarlet again. “Oh… um… I see.” She took a nervous sip of her tea again. But she couldn’t help but notice that Celestia was now blushing. She put her cup down again and swiveled her eyes to look at all her guests again. The awkward silence lingered for a bit.

…

This is going to be a long day.
