A Mirrored Perspective

For the first time in a long time, I actually got to sleep in my bed. No more restrictions meant no more having to spend every single night getting ravished by tentacles rather than sleeping. Not that I minded the tentacles or the ravishing. Normally I only got to enjoy it once a week every year, just how sinfully comfortable the bed was. Thankfully only the outer layer of blankets was actually latex. Under that layer, it was all silk sheets and down comforter.

I tended to spend the first days on vacation just snuggled up in the bed simply enjoying it. Only leaving it for urgent needs like food or to retrieve something to read. Though having a new pet meant waking up to an interesting wrinkle of my first day of planned schedule.

Even Melody my Personal AI and Number One Assistant knew I preferred to sleep in on the first day and tended to get a tad snappish if I didn't get to. Sleeping in was the first thing on my checklist damnit. Sunset, who had been somehow convinced to become my personal slave, did not seem to know that.

What with the weight on the back of my thighs as I found myself waking earlier than I had intended. It was not the weight that woke me up though, no that was the sensation of nails raking slowly through fur and feathers as the girl straddling my thighs preened my new wings. I wanted to tell her to let me sleep, what came out of my mouth though was a moan.

I turned my head not even bothering to lift it from the pillow to peer back at her. She had been very pretty as a unicorn, so huggable and cute as a human. The naked morph running her hands over my wings was older than the girl I'd left in the past. As a perfect blend of human and pony, well I couldn't help but find her new look gorgeous. Did not hurt that the collar around her neck marked her as mine.

I wondered what my counterpart's reaction would be when she got to the part of the book that outlined how slavery had worked in the Imperium. For the most part, it was expected for a pony of the appropriate Caste to eventually own their own slave. Usually, they were non-pony's whose ancestors had rejected Daybreaker's initial attempt at annexation through diplomacy.

Which meant they had gotten invaded and then enslaved to serve more productively than their inherent chaotic tendencies had allowed. Mind you those who accepted the Annexation offer got to join the Imperium with their cultural identity mostly intact, save for where it conflicted with Imperial Doctrine.

The only ponies that were slaves were either those who had reached adulthood without earning their Sigils and thus were Casteless. Or those who had broken the law and were lucky enough to be sentenced to slavery rather than execution.

Much like the pegasus who I had always called Nanny back when I was growing up. She had never found her Talent but had actually enjoyed watching over foals. I paused actually wondering how many foals she had been Nanny too. As I had once bumped into while she was with the latest filly she was watching over at the time. Admittedly this had been before I became the 'Traitor Princess'.

That filly had been quite a little brat until I had stepped in actually nuzzled the older mare in a show of rare public affection and started asking how she was doing. Nanny had of course been thrilled that I actually cared about her enough to stop and say hello. The little brat had been shocked into silence when the Imperial Princess showed up and ignored her in favor of the Casteless. My words when she demanded we pay attention to her had likely been a major part of that silence.

"Why would I want to even acknowledge a rude filly that refuses to learn even the most basic manners when I can chat with my old Nanny instead?" I'd given the foal a very cold smile that day. "It's not our fault if you refused to learn from the very mare who taught me how to be a proper princess."

Another moan escaped me as Sunset continued to preen my wings. She was surprisingly very good at it. "Mmmm.. Where did you learn..?"

"When I was still my Celestia's student." My eye twitched at the mention of that mare. "We were very close at one point, and one of our bonding activities involved me helping her preen her wings."

"I see.." Normally I would likely not want to hear about anything related to Her or an alternate of Her. But those fingers just had me too relaxed to care at the moment. "But wouldn't that have meant using your mouth instead?"

She leaned down and nibbled on the wing before tugging a bent feather out with her teeth. She smirked down at the sight of my eye having partially rolled back and I blushed from the whimper that had been extracted from me.

"One of my Owners was really happy to find out I knew how to preen wings even if it was just with my mouth." Sunset began to work as she started massaging the base of my wings with her fingers. "So she had me preen hers, eventually I learned how to do it with my hands as well. Another taught me how to give massages."

My back arched under those fingers, most likely that was why I wasn't feeling so snappish, even though she woke me up earlier than I had planned for. "I'm surprised you took the slave prize."

"Actually I didn't. My prize wasn't slavery even though that is part of it." She leaned down and nuzzled my cheek. "The prize for my Contract was you."

I twisted about beneath her, though not as easily as I would have without the wings. My hands moving to grasp her thighs and run my nails through the fur of her Sigil. Her moan was muffled by the tongue that snaked out of my mouth and into hers. Even without our lips in contact, I could fill her mouth with it. Much like I had one of her other holes last night.

My wings wrapped around her, encasing her body in the soft feathers she had been tending to moment ago. She seemed to really enjoy how they tickled her skin through her fur. And I found myself wishing for a moment that I had been given a spaded tail instead of a pony one. Then I could use it to molest her much like how Sweet had molested me with hers. Eventually, though my tongue retracted back into my mouth allowing us to properly kiss until it was time to get up.

"I have to admit I didn't expect that tongue last night."

I smirked as I slid from the bed and made my way to my closet humming happily. "With all the modifications that were done, I'm pretty much a Discount Succubus now." I started poking through outfits as Sunset joined me. "All that's missing is being an actual Demon."

"Really?" She asked as I pulled out a costume and held it up to her body.

"If you're going to be my harem girl," I said with a barely straight face. "Then you are going to dress like my harem girl. For today at least."

The sight of her wiggling into the mostly transparent pants and the halter top was quite nice. As I turned to find something to wear, and given the wings it would have to be open back.

"Where did you get this?"

"Crystal.. She designed at least two-thirds of everything in here. That outfit is from when she had my sisters and I do a genie cosplay themed photo shoot." I eventually pulled out a simple dark blue dress and slid it on. The skirt didn't go passed mid-thigh and it was only held up by buttons on the back of my neck. It had been designed to show off my entire back, so there was plenty of room for my new wings.

When I turned back to her, Sunset had put on all the parts of the outfit. From the bangles above her hooves to the large bracelets on her wrists. Her hands were moving away from one of the earrings that went with it. While the costume did not come with a collar normally, on Sunset it looked perfect.

"You look good enough to eat my Pet," I stated with a smile as I stepped close and nuzzled her cheek. My arm slid around her waist and I led her out to the rest of the apartment where my family was just settling down. They were, of course, surprised I was both awake this early due to having no restrictions, and in a very good mood as I had Sunset take the chair next to me.

"So enjoyed your birthday present Sis?"

I blinked at Sweet's clearly smug tone and truly took a moment to see how they were all reacting to Sunset's presence. "You sound like you met her before."

"Oh yes... Fun little toy to play with when I had the chance. Sunny likely would have tried to keep her for herself if she hadn't been already slated for you." I looked to Sunset with an arched brow.

She pointed at Secret and both of the twins. "They were three of my Owners while my Contract was in effect.. I was scheduled to be here on the three days of the week you weren't." That was a surprise, apparently, everyone but me knew about Sunset prior to her ending in my room last night.

"Shimmy really liked it when she had her face pressed into your dirty laundry though."

"Hey! You were the ones who kept pushing my head into that basket."

"Doesn't change that you liked it."

I blushed as Secret spilled a secret that was for once not one of mine, even as Sunset glared at her for it. One that only deepened when a hand lightly grasped my neck and pulled up my chin before I was given a deep good morning kiss from my Daddy. His stomach pressing against my back while his other hand stroked the feathers of one of my wings.

He released me after a moment without a word before moving to his usual seat. Leaving me having to reclaim my senses for several moments before breakfast was served. I arched a brow as I saw what ended up in front of Sunset.

"Baby Food mixed with really yummy Milk." She had already grabbed a spoon and begun to eat it.

My eye twitched even as I was for once able to start feeding myself during meal time. "I'm going to be checking what restrictions you have left. I can tell you as your Mistress you have my permission to eat anything you like from my replicator."

She smiled even as she continued to eat her current breakfast. My eye though twitched, even more, when I had Melody bring up the file in question. Apparently, Sunset also had the special sauce requirement only hers was altered to be breast milk. Specifically, mine, which she had been eating for the entire length of her contract. It was authorized by Mi Amore Cadenza. A check showed she also went by another name.

Cadence.

Just how far would this lady go to Ship someone?

Further reviewing as I ate, gave me a clear picture of just what kind of experience Sunset had gone through. While in ways not extreme as mine, there were a few things I wouldn't have thought of. At least she didn't go for the Mind Control I had picked to help keep me restricted. She did, however, go for the same memory wipe and restoration I went through.

"Sunset why does it say that all your financial assets were transferred to me?"

"Well, I am your slave now so it is hoped you'd take care of me. It's not like I can really spend it without your permission anyway." Her brow arched at me after she'd licked her spoon.

"Well with almost four point three million in my account now. I definitely have the means to do that. Already planned on keeping all my roommates. Thank goodness I can convert an empty room into a room for you though."

"I'm not sleeping in your bed?"

"Oh you are, just figured you'd want your own personal space as well."

That seemed to please her as I checked my schedule out of habit. Noting that now it was mostly blank which meant I'd likely have to come up with a new schedule myself. However, there was one appointment on it for later. The info in it was odd, it just had a name and time. No location. The real oddity was the name had only one single letter in it.

Who was Q?

After breakfast, we all went our separate ways, had I still been under Contract then I'd have likely been dragged by Sweet Delight to her room. Instead, she was now just my sister and no longer my Owner. Which meant she was now able to take on new Contestants to train for today.

Which meant I had plenty of time to plot out a few things. Like how to arrange for Sunset to eventually get fucked by Daddy. One might wonder why I would want the girl who was effectively now my girlfriend to end up riding that particular Stallion. The reason was really simple, every female that lived in my Apartment had already ridden him at least once.

Mother was, of course, his favorite due to being his actual wife. I was next, second only to her in his affections. Then came the rest of my sisters, followed by Crystal. Of us she was the only one who didn't get to ride his dick, she had to settle for his finger instead. That was mostly due to the sheer size difference.

Which meant at some point Sunset would end up bent over, stuffed until she looked pregnant while his hips pounded his length into her. The image alone was hot enough to make me squirm, especially I would likely involve as well. However, it was not something to bring up to her just yet.

Merely something to add to the checklist of things that will happen at some point in the future. No doubt I would likely need a checklist for each item that was listed on my checklist. After a moment of thought, I added that to the checklist too, only a bit higher up.

Have I mentioned that I love my cellphone? Especially the App that lets me make sort and reorganize all my checklists. Without needing massive stacks or rolls of paper in order to do so. The App that lets me take control of all of Sunset's subdermal vibrators and variable body mods is also something I've added to my quick bar.

Have not actually used it yet, however, she does know I have it. And as my pet, I now have master access. Much like I can now choose which restrictions apply to her or not. I also scheduled that everything she'd had in her hotel room would be moved into one of the empty rooms at my place.

Which means my apartment will soon have a Clothing Printer. That will likely drive Crystal nuts with all the possible outfits she could make with it.

"Just what are you up to?"

I glanced to where Sunset lounged on the blanket next to me. "Nothing much, just revising my checklists." She really did look good dressed up as a genie. We were currently enjoying our mutual free time by relaxing in the Gardens that Contestants and former Contestants had access to.

She was peeking over at me over the rim of her shades, with an amused expression on her face. She had apparently managed to keep that leather jacket of hers as she was currently wearing it with the sexy genie costume. "Why does it sound like you have more than one of them?"

"Because I do, sometimes I need checklists to help me complete my checklists." I blushed at her incredulous stare. "We all have our little coping mechanisms to get through the day. For me that is checklists."

"She will if you let her try and schedule every little thing. And can and will become hilariously chaotic if she realizes she forgot to schedule something important."

I froze at the sound of that voice. And turned to see a man lounging in the branches of a tree. Dressed in a simple outfit that likely came from the 1800s. One hand was heavily bandaged while the other held an apple the man was in the process of eating.

"Dissy?"

"Hello my dear, it's been awhile." He vanished from the branch in a flash only to reappear between Sunset and I. "Sorry it's been so long but I had to wait until you got both your memories and your wings back before I could visit."

"But... I killed you." I reached out to poke him to see if he was real and I had not just gone mad.

"It takes more than a few pesky Elements to kill moi." He held up the bandaged hand. "Admitted you gave me a very nasty burn but that was about it."

I launched myself at him, with tears streaming down my face as clutched his chest. One of his arms wrapped around my waist and stroked my back as I cried. These were not tears of sorrow or despair though. No, I was ecstatic that my first and at one point the only friend was in fact alive. A bit singed maybe but alive none the less.

Still, though I had felt quite a bit of pain and guilt believing that I had killed him by accident. All of it had been bottled up inside me. Even when I had no memory of him, or of being anything other than Mirror Flash. With him here, I could not keep it contained anymore and it came out as tears and sobs that soaked his shirt.

"Who are you?" It was Sunset who asked, a visible frown due to how upset I appeared to be.

"My name Q, however you ponies know me as Discord."

"YOU'RE DISCORD!?"

"Yes and no. While Discord is me, he is but a small fraction of Q." He sighed a bit before creating a sphere in the air. Inside one could see all of Equus. "Let's say that this is your world." His good hand closed into a fist with only his pinkie left up. He then poked the pinkie into the sphere where it detached and formed into a miniature draconequus who took the time to wave at Sunset. "I am Q, and that small bit of me is Discord."

"Oh.." Sunset seemed a bit shocked as she stared at the tiny Discord. The little guy was causing merry havoc inside the sphere as she watched.

"And while I may be an unrepentant Troll, I'm not a complete asshole." He paused a moment. "At least now I'm not. I still have quite a reputation from my younger days."

"So no Chaos?"

"Not unless it would cheer up our mutual friend here." He patted my back. "Or at least not today anyway."

"Missed you," I mumbled into his shirt as my tears started to slow.

"I know, even without your memories it's hard to be without the magnificence that is me."

I pulled back before smacking him without any real force. "Did not miss your ego though."

"Feeling better?"

"A bit.." My attention turned to the sphere. "Why is a mini you terrorizing a mini Equus?"

"Ah, I'm just showing Sunset here a replay of how I'm both Q and Discord."

I peered at it for a moment before looking at him. "That's a window to the past isn't it?"

He grinned giving a nod. "Indeed. What you two are seeing sped up a bit is what happened when I noticed some unpleasant things trying to get into Equus and intervened. Coincidentally I timed it so as to happen so I could have it look as if I did it specifically to answer your friend's question."

At Sunset's look, he explained. "In order to give you ponies a chance to avoid getting eaten by things you'd rather not meet. Mini Me caused everything he did. It scared them away until a pair of young heroines were produced who could take up the job of protecting your world instead."

Inside the Sphere, it showed two Alicorns appear and turn the mini Discord into a Statue.

"The only reason Harmony could do that is that I made a rule when I poked my finger in that it was the only magic that would be able to truly stop me at all, there at least." We watched the Alicorns settle and become the rulers of the ponies. "The plan worked spectacularly well until it didn't."

Abruptly there were two spheres showing a single event but with two different outcomes. One showed the older of the two blasting the younger with the Elements. The other however showed the older sister decapitating the younger with a sword.

"In your world Sunset, things eventually got back on track leading to the history as you knew it." He sighed while looking at the other image. "In Mirror's World, the guilt of actually killing her sister caused Celestia to lose all her marbles."

"It doesn't excuse everything she did," I stated with a frown.

"No, it doesn't." He agreed. "And had you not stopped her, she would have gotten what she wanted. Eventually, she would have invaded either the other Equus or the Human World. She was ever so fond of those New Foals of hers."

"What are you talking about?" I asked confused as to what the New Foals were.

"Nothing important, at least anymore. Just know that you are an inherently good pony and that's why you got your wings."

"Since your alive can you fix the Dead Equus?"

"No my dear, I cannot. Well, I can, but I won't. It's not my place to restore that world." He pulled out a cloth and wiped away the mess that covered my face. "The only reason it still exists is that it has one Alicorn left."

"Are you saying she can restore it?" Sunset it seemed was losing her fear of him.

"Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. But eventually? It's possible after all the two of you have all the time in the world to figure out how." He sighed. "I can't visit all that often so I'm trusting you Sunset, to take good care of my friend. Otherwise, I will be very upset with you."

And the tone he just used put it back again. I frowned and smacked him. "Don't bully Sunset."

He laughed for reasons only he knew before giving me a hug. "Don't worry Princess, your dear Uncle Q won't hurt your girlfriend. Ta ta for now though. I can't visit often but you won't be able to get rid of me either."

"Bye Dissy," I muttered before with a flash he was gone leaving me alone with Sunset once more. A moment later she pulled me into a hug. I don't know how long we laid there in the Gardens, I just know I was very grateful that she was there.

My hooves shifted the dirt with every step as I made my way into the cave. Half expecting to see stone slabs around me as I reached my destination. It was a wonder this place was left open to anyone who could find it, unlike how it was in my memories.

The last time I'd been here, I'd had to crack open the vault that had been constructed around the sole attraction this cave had. A cave that seemed to be hidden only by the fact that no one bothered to look for it who did not already know the location.

The sight that greeted me left me breathless. Whole, completely intact, glowing with magic and life. The counterparts to the gems in my belt all in the places they were meant to be. Admitted only six of them were actually visible. This world had not needed the seventh it seemed.

I sat down among the roots not caring if it was proper or not. My back leaned against the trunk of my spine and between my wings. I closed my eyes, opened my senses, listened, and silently wept at what I heard. I am not sure if my counterpart knew, but the tree did not just glow with the magic. If you knew how to listen, then it sang.

The song from my world had been soft, filled with sorrow. While it soothed it also brought a sadness that could not be forgotten. This tree though, her song was joyous, happy and just brimming with all possibilities. She was also well aware that I was not her Twilight, that the bond I had with my Elements was different than the Peppy Princess'.

It was just as obvious though that she cared not one wit, nor did she attempt to take what her other self-had given. My Elements did, however, glow in time with hers, hesitantly adding their voices to the song. They and I were welcomed, them to join in and me to relax against her and listen in.

I am not sure how long I remained that way, only that at some point there was a surge of magic at the edge of my awareness. Followed by the rushed clopping of hooves and then someone panting for breath. When I cracked open an eye I saw my counterpart looking a bit frazzled, obviously having gotten here in a rush. Not all that important, so I closed my eye and resumed listening to the song.

"Mirror?"

"Mmm?"

"What are you doing?"

"Listening." I could just imagine the bewildered look she had from the sight of me, clad in an actual black leotard, wearing shorts that were small enough to almost be considered a belt on their own. They allowed one to see a good portion of my Sigils, or as Sunset called them Cutie Marks. I even had boots that went up to my calves, that Printer had allowed us to make footwear that actually worked with hooves.

"Listening? To what?"

I opened my eyes and gave her a look I usually reserved for idiots or those who are acting like idiots. "Sparkle, you and I will likely disagree on a great many things. That doesn't mean we can't be friends, just that we aren't identical." I pointed a gloved finger a the ground beside me. "Now get you flanks over here and sit."

"But -"

"I said SIT!"

She jerked a moment before closing her mouth and came over looking very confused. Still, she sat down next to me. "It's best if you're in direct contact like I am. Lean back with your back to the trunk." I watched as she complied before continuing. "Close your eyes and empty that pretty head of yours of everything in it."

She opened her mouth.

"Especially the checklists."

She closed it again with a blush.

"Now open your other senses. You may need to tilt your head so your horn is touching the trunk but you'll know it when you hear it."

I closed my eyes and resumed listening, after a few minutes though she gasped. "Is that..?"

"She's singing. Light, well you'd probably call her Harmony. Is always singing, the song changes on her mood. She's really happy right now."

"How can you tell?"

"Because I heard what it sounds like when she sad or when she's dying."

I heard her shift position a bit, but the silence of the physical world was kept for quite a while as we listened to a concert only one who knew how to listen for could hear. Eventually, though she was the one who spoke up first.

"I read the book you gave me."

"I expected you to."

"Were things really like that?"

I sighed softly. "That was the official history. So while all the events inside were accurate, there was a bias toward making the Imperium look good to those who didn't know different."

"Like?"

"Shiny was officially assigned to the Frontier at one point. Sounds good on paper but what it really meant was that he outlived his usefulness and was either killed or sent on a suicide mission."

I did not have to look to know the shocked horror she likely felt at hearing that. I had gone through that when I had first discovered the truth of that phrase myself.

"How?"

"He cared too much and learned more than he was cleared to know. The last time I saw him he was trying to warn me I was in danger." Tears formed at the memory. "At the time I didn't believe him, after all, I was the Imperial Princess, Daybreaker's adopted daughter, and best student."

"Adopted?!? What about Mom and Dad?"

I opened my eyes and looked at her. "You mean Night Light and Twilight Velvet?" At her nod, I sighed. "Oh, they died when I was a little filly and too young to even remember them. Amusingly the second time around I got adopted by a Nickolas and Valarie Light. A childless couple who weren't able to have children of their own. And just happened to be that world's version of them."

"What do you mean by the second time around?"

"The human world I ended up is way more advanced than the one Sunset went to. To the point, they were able completely to reconstruct my body to the way it is now. However, they also reduced my age to a fifteen-year-old. And gave me a complete memory wipe."

"Why would they erase your memories?!?"

"So I could have a childhood without my memories messing things up." I gave her a smile. "The day you and I met, I'd only had gotten my memories back less than six hours before hand."

"Is that why you prefer to be called Mirror Flash?"

"Eyup, it's the name I had for ten years. Plus saves on confusion unless you want to do the twin prank."

"Twin prank?"

"Likely work better if we still had identical bodies. But it's when two twins dress up so they look exactly the same, act exactly the same. And sometimes even speak in perfect unison."

She blinked a moment before actually giggling as she thought over the image that would produce. "I've actually done something similar with the human world's Twilight."

I pondered a moment before smirking. "You know in the human world all it would take is the right glamour and we could likely pass as triplets if she and I get along."

"Why not use a polymorphic spell?"

I paused a moment. "Not actually sure how such a spell would work with my body." At her questioning look I hummed. "Basically my original body was so badly damaged that the only thing keeping me alive were my Elements. The sexy bod you see before you now is a fully cybernetic android, constructed using my genetics as a template, that my mind and soul got transferred into." Her eyes went wide as dinner plates as what I told her hit her. That.. that smile was really creepy.

The next thing I was grabbed by her magic just before I found myself teleported from the Cave into a room made of crystal. "SPIKE! I need you to take notes!" She galloped along with me being dragged along mid air behind her. I was slowly starting to realize that I may have triggered our inner Mad Scientist.

Well crap.

"TWILIGHT!" I yelled out cutting through her mutterings as she was getting various instruments ready no doubt to do all the tests and scan she wanted. "I'm finding myself very disappointed in you right now." We were in what was no doubt her lab, reminding me I really needed to set up one back home.

"Wha-?"

"You forgot the first rule of any scientific endeavor. Reducing the number of variables that may skew data and thus create erroneous results or conclusions." At her puzzled if slightly manic look I gestured at my body. "Give me a few minutes to remove anything that's not absolutely required before you perform any tests."

She blinked a moment before giving me a sheepish look and nodded still bouncing excitedly while Spike, who turned out to be an adorable bringer of flaming death, set up a child-sized scribes table. From his expression, he had likely been her assistant long enough to be used to a Twilight in full 'MAD Science!' mode. "How about some baseline questions while you prepare?"

"That is more than reasonable," I replied while I started to slowly strip off my outfit that no doubt had the little dragon staring at my ass for more than a few moments.

"It's been a few years since I last saw you. How long as it been for you?"

"Little over a month," I replied carefully setting every item on me that could safely be removed without affecting my mobility on a nearby table. "No time shift this time so we should be synced up as far as age is concerned."

"What happened to the other Sunset?"

"She decided to take the long way to catch up with me. So I dropped her with that world's Luna before returning to my time."

"Is she doing okay?"

"She's been living with me for about a month now. She'd be here if I hadn't been testing an experimental revision of the spell that allows me to travel between Dimensions." At her look, while I set the last item down and moved to the stool she'd originally set me on I expanded the explanation. "She told me on about how big a magical boom and cyclone the original brought up so I spent most of the last month revising it when not spending time with her or my family."

"Why is there an amethyst in your belly?"

"Navel piercing, permanent one so not taking it off. I have one other piercing that I'm not removing but you'll have to look for it yourself if you want to see it."

"Do you eat?" She began to attach sensors to parts of my body.

"Yes though I don't have to so long as I can find a compatible source of electricity. I do however prefer eating over getting plugged that way." I smirked as she missed the pun. "You can also cross off urine, stool or sweat samples from your list. My body is optimized to no longer produce any waste products."

She blinked a moment before pouting, going to her checklist, and actually crossing those items off. "How many calories do you intake a day?"

"Hmm around eight to ten thousand, though I can get by on a little over two thousand. I can pretty much eat anything I want and not get fat."

"I see. Does being an android mean you can't have foals?"

"I can get pregnant, by humans, ponies, other pony morphs, tentacles monsters, certain breeds of animals, and other creatures too numerous to list at this time." I paused a moment. "And I won't feel any pain when I give birth either."

She blinked for a moment as she tried to process that. "Have you gotten pregnant?"

"No Mom insists on me taking really effective birth control." I then smirked a moment. "However I have ended up looking as if I was pregnant quite a few times."

She gave me a bewildered look as she tried to figure out how that would even work. Spike thought he was barely holding in snickers even as he recorded her questions and my answers. I, however, kept a perfectly straight face as I was answering all her questions honestly. She was just lacking a key ingredient to understand most of my answers.

She did, however, make the mistake of squeezing one of my breasts while examining me with her face a bit too close. This resulted in her getting a high pressure, high volume blast of milk. She recoiled sputtering before hunting for a towel to wipe it off. "What was that!?"

"Due to a lack of cows where I currently live, quite a few females are modified to be able to produce the needed milk. I tend to hook myself up to a milking machine twice a day back home." Does not hurt that getting milked was an extremely enjoyable experience. I noticed the little dragon was biting on a claw to keep from laughing.

Next came the tong and tongue depressor, I opened my mouth wide without prompting. She placed the depressor on my tongue and used the tongs to no doubt pull the tongue out off the way so she could examine my teeth. "Hmm. Not primarily a herbivore anymore?" I shook my head even as the tongs tried to pull my tongue taut. The problem was though that would take a bit longer than she would have expected it to.

She still was mostly focused on my teeth however so she hadn't quite noticed just how long my tongue was getting. Spike did however and he was looking at it in amazement. "Uh, Twilight?"

"Not now Spike." She muttered. "Not jagged enough to be a carnivore. Most likely omnivorous."

"But her tongue!"

"What about.." She trailed off now seeing what would seem to be an impossibly long tongue. The tongue flexed popping out of the tongs before snapping back into my mouth, which snapped shut with a click of my teeth.

"You act like you haven't seen a tongue before."

"How?"

"Luna talked me into getting it that way."

"Anything else like that?"

"Need your hoof to demonstrate one of them."

Her confusion warred with her curiosity but in the end, as always her curiosity won out. She moved closer and raised a hoof toward me. I slipped off the stool to sit on the floor before taking the hoof and slipping it into my mouth. It wouldn't be all that impressive on its own until I sucked hard. One moment it was just her hoof in my mouth then the next her foreleg was down my throat. She let out a surprised squeal when it happened. As soon as I stopped sucking she pulled her now saliva coated foreleg out.

"Did you just try to eat me?"

"No just suck on your foreleg." I returned to the stool as she used the towel again.

"But that doesn't make any sense."

I was half tempted to quote Dissy in response to that line. "My body was designed so I could get maximum enjoyment out of it. No sense in having a body that makes you miserable to be in."

"Meaning?"

"I am very stretchy in certain places."

"What places?"

"Do you really want to know Twilight?"

"Yes I do, it needs to be documented! The scientific ramifications of your body are amazing. Even if some of it is really odd."

"Alright. Imagine Spike there if he was a full sized adult dragon." She nodded after a moment. "Now dragons in my current world have an interesting trait that I'm not sure if they have here."

"What trait is that?"

"They are double dicked." I continued as she sputtered in shock. "Now let say imaginary fully grown Spike has that trait. They would be fairly massive at that age. I would be able to stretch enough that I could be able to ride both of them at the same time. Admittedly it would still be a fairly tight fit."

"How is that possible?"

"As I told Sunset, with the way this body is set up I could pass as a Discount Succubus. Only without being a Demon."

She blinked a moment before frowning. "How would you even begin to know that?"

"I have several adoptive sisters. One who actually is a Succubus, whose twin sister is an Angel." I gave an amused smile. "Makes my home life very interesting. Though we might want to wait a bit to continue."

"Why?"

"Spike's still in la-la land due to the image I just put in his head." I pointed to the blushing little dragon who likely now had an image of an alternate version of his older sister figure that was likely not what he normally saw when thinking of Twilight Sparkle.

Twilight looked at him and sighed in exasperation. "Might be best to continue later. Though I can't believe how your body could end up like you say it is."

"That's because you're trying to make sense of things without one important thing."

"And that is?"

"Context." I smiled softly as she arched a brow at me. "First what you consider normal social norms is different from what I consider normal social norms." I paused a moment so she could consider that. "Second thing is what is logical in one Dimension isn't always logical in another."

"Well, that makes a bit of sense."

"Third, my first friend was the one who taught me how to laugh. And as such my sense of humor tends to be a bit closer to his."

"Why would that matter?"

"My first friend is someone I affectionately call Dissy."

She blinked a moment until I snapped my fingers in a very distinct manner. Not that anything happened but it was a familiar enough action that she would make the connection. "Wait you're not talking about Discord are you?"

"Yes, and for the longest time, he was my only true friend. One of the reasons I was so twitchy back when we met is I thought I'd accidentally killed him at one point. Thankfully it turned out I was wrong on that front."

She blinked before moving closer and sharing a hug with me. After all, if anyone could imagine how I would react to losing a friend like that, it would be another me. "I do have to ask were all those answers you gave actually true?"

"Oh yes, all truth. You're just still missing the full context."

"And what is the full context?"

"Porn."

"WHAT?!?"

"I privately call the world I live in Porno World because everything runs on Porn Logic."

Her blush was utterly spectacular and well well worth having to put up with her in 'MAD Science!' mode if only to watch as everything clicked into place. Of course, now I had some idea of what I put others through when I was in that state.

"I'm half afraid to ask what you do for a living there."

"Under the name Mirror Flash, I am a very popular, if now retired Pornstar." At her look, I smirked. "Be happy I chose to have a new Identity created with my contract. Otherwise, it would have been under my original name."

"Thank you oh so much." She half muttered since she shared my original name. "May I assume that most if not all your body features relate to sex in some way then?"

"Eyup."

"Did Sunset end up like you?"

"When I left her in the past she was only supposed to be a part-time maid and student. When I returned to my time I found out some lady named Cadence convinced her to sign a Contract similar to the one I had only I was the prize at the end."

"Cadence?" She blinked for several moments. "Was her full name Mi Amore Cadenza?"

"You know her?"

"Yes I do, she's married to Shiny. She was also my foalsitter."

I blinked a moment. "I hope you don't take offense. But that's kind of really creepy. So how are the scans coming?"

Reminded of them she let go of me and went to check the readouts from the various magical sensory equipment she had set up. "A lot of these readings are similar to what I would expect of either a pony or human. But some of these aren't like anything I've seen before."

"Well, the base technology was designed to be indistinguishable from a normal human. Much more advanced than what is used for your average sexbot."

"Of course they have sexbots." She mutters in exasperation.

"I take it you spent a bit more time in the human world if you understand that term?"

"Mmmm. Oh yes. A situation required that I be able to open the Mirror Portal much more often."

"Speaking of which.."

"Time Travel and the Portals do not mix well." She stated before looking at me. "I had a student, but before she became my student she was a bit revenge obsessed. To the point, she improved one of Star Swirl's spells linked it to the Cutie Map. And then tried repetitively to prevent the event that gave me and all my friends our Cutie Marks on the same day."

"May I assume that you managed to talk sense into her eventually rather than just killing her if she became your student?"

"Yes, I did." She frowned for a moment. "I still don't like how casually you seem to think killing is an answer though."

"I'm a trained Battle Magus, You were trained for Peace and Diplomacy from what I can tell. I was trained in War and Aggressive Diplomacy. Of which killing is a necessary evil. Doesn't mean I like doing it, however, when other options are exhausted sometimes it is the only option."

"I don't agree with the idea that killing should ever be an option."

"Then that will be something we will have to disagree on. I don't want to get into an argument about something I doubt we'd be able to convince the other about." I crossed my arms as I spoke. "That said, I will state that I prefer trying all other options first, and I am much happier when I don't have to kill something."

She sighed after a moment and nodded. "I don't like it, but I can agree not to argue about it. On a different topic though something has been bugging me. The eye, why is it pink?"

"A wannabe Magus with a massive ego didn't like I was better at magic than her. So she gouged out my eye." I pursed my lips. "Ended up having to implant the Element of Kindness into the socket to be able to see on that side afterward."

Twilight turned a bit green at my explanation. "Who would do something like that?"

"Some bitch who kept calling herself the Great and Powerful Trixie." Twilight actually facehoofed at the name for some reason. I wonder if this world's version was as annoying as mine had been. "Sad part was I had been seriously considering taking her on as a student at one point. After the eye though, I wanted nothing to do with her."

"She's friends with my former student."

"Former as in dismissed for incompetence or graduated?"

"Starlight graduated with flying colors thankfully."

I actually returned the smile Twilight had at that. "Well, congratulations on being a successful teacher."

"Thank you.." She hummed a bit as she read a bit more of the data coming from her machines. "I think a polymorphic spell would work on you."

"You intend to test one on me, Don't you?"

"If you don't mind."

I sat there for a moment thinking things over before speaking again. "Make sure you get my limbs. I'd rather not have them fall off or end up mismatched."

"I highly doubt your limbs would fall off."

I arched a brow at her before grabbing one arm, a mental command later and I had it detached and resting on my lap. "Considering they can actually fall off as is. You may want to double check your assumptions."

"How? Why?"

"Retired Pornstar remember?" I smirked. "Some people get off at the idea of having a limbless girl stuffed in a duffel bag. So, of course, there is porn for it. The less extreme versions usually have them finding a girl missing any single limb as really sexy." Very carefully I reattached the arm. "I can play that fantasy in any variation if I want to without it being permanent."

"So long as you don't misplace the actual limbs?"

"Mmhmm. So any spell you're thinking of trying would have to factor that all my limbs can be detached with the exception of my wings."

She nodded and her horn lit up. I could feel her magic wash over me, which was so similar to my own. Only it felt lighter than mine did somehow. When it ended my arms were both shorter and ended in hooves. A moment later a large mirror was brought in front of me allowing me to view myself.

And I found myself staring at a very sexy Alicorn, only as a pony rather than a pony morph. There were marked differences between her and myself. For one I wore darker makeup than she did if she wore any. My wings were still darker and still much more predatory than hers. My body was significantly more athletic than hers was.

I shifted off the stool and landed on all four hooves for the first time in years. Scans of myself showed nothing wrong. I was still a fully cybernetic android, only now I was an android pony rather than anthropomorphic pony girl. "I guess you were right about the spell. How long does it last?"

"It lasts until the counterspell is used."

"Mind bringing the spell matrix for both the spell and counter spell to the forefront of your mind?" At her questioning look, I smiled. "One of the perks of being as I am is that I'm a Telepath. Meaning I can link my mind to yours and learn the spell that way, with your permission of course."

"Why didn't you mention that earlier? I could have gotten all my questions answered that way couldn't I?"

"First because two-way communication requires you to also be a Telepath. And second, you never asked." I chuckled at her groan before she gave a nod. A moment later I was in her mind and quickly copied the two matrices that were the spells I needed.

Thank you.

She jumped slightly at the protected thought before realizing it had been me. "Your welcome."

"So question, why did you want to try the spell? Besides just to try it."

"Well I want to show you around Ponyville, and you won't draw as much attention this way."

"Twilight, I'm an Alicorn we draw attention by default."

"Yes, but you'll draw much less attention this way than as a biped. Not to mention Pinkie would be really upset if you left without her getting a chance to meet you."

"Pinkie?"

"One of my friends, I take it you never met her in your world or in. Porno World?"

"No, I haven't." I frowned not really wanting to go out in public here yet. It was only supposed to be a test of the spell, a visit to see this world's Tree and then return home. "Do you have a spare set of saddle bags I can borrow to store my stuff? Really not want to risk losing any of it."

"Oh yes, I have a spare I can lend you."

"Great all that is left is to remember how to pick shit up with my hooves."

"Language please."

"My point stands."

I think I should start referring to Sigils by the name that Sunset uses from now on. As it would ease the confusion of any Equestrian I crossed paths with. Even if Cutie Marks sounds quite a bit sillier, and a bit more chaotic than the term I was raised with.

The reason I made the decision was that the saddlebags I had my Mark on them, which made sense since that was one of the few bits where Twilight and I were identical. Once all my things were in the bags I had turned and asked where the nearest bathroom was.

"Didn't you say you don't need to use one anymore?"

"Twilight, if I'm going to join you out in public. Then I'm not going to do so without draining my breasts first. Unlike when bipedal they aren't the most comfortable when full as a pony." Considering their placement was very different in this form getting them empty was a priority.

She had blushed at the reminder and showed me where one was. Once inside I hopped onto the toilet and started milking myself the old-fashioned way. Which was an interesting task when I was using my hooves. Eventually, though they were completely drained empty. Once I finished the final tasks of any visit to a bathroom I rejoined Twilight.

The first thing I found out was that this crystal castle that we were in, was also on top of a large crystal tree. One that was clearly connected to the Tree back in the cave. The second was that this world's Ponyville looked nothing like the District I remembered. I ended up following Twilight with wide eyes as I looked about.

There were no perfectly aligned grids of roads. No buildings completely and utterly identical with only a variance of height being permitted. The street was dirt for Light's sake. More it was extremely colorful. Actual plants around where ever my gaze wandered.

The ponies were also very different too. No trudging along scared of being deemed too chaotic. No these one were going about with nary a care of what they might find. Much like the people back home did when not an area where a monster attack was being fought off.

Of course, Twilight and I drew attention. Not at first mind you, but two Alicorn mares would draw the gaze of most even if only briefly. However, the oddity of there being two versions of the same Alicorn mare drew more interest than if I had been a different Alicorn.

I mostly ignored them, much like I would those with cameras back home unless directly approached. There is no harm in them looking, and it was not like I would have to stop and accept the requests of anyone I met anymore.

"So different.." I muttered softly.

"How so?"

"Everything is just so. Unplanned. Curved roads rather than an organized grid. While mostly similar not all the buildings are exactly the same." I paused a moment. "Not to mention the ponies, they aren't afraid someone might show up and drag them away for Re-Education or worse."

"Re-Education?"

"As an example, humor was outlawed. If you giggled you got the switch on your flank. If you actually laughed you'd either spend time in Jail or get whipped depending on the Judge."

"That's horrible!"

"I know it was something I had planned to change if we'd managed to successfully oust Her from power." I sighed. "That and help Daring to actually publish her journals."

Twilight's ears perked up. "Do you mean Daring Do?"

I nodded. "Annoyingly stubborn mare who only started helping me find my Elements after I promised to help her get them published," I smirked at the memories. "At least once it wasn't illegal for her to publish them.."

"So no Daring Do books in your world?"

"No just unpublished journals." I pondered a moment. "Maybe I should try and find her alternate at some point. See if she wouldn't mind having them published."

"Wait... You still have them?"

"Yes, I may not have been able to save those who lived in my world. But I did manage to save quite a lot of the books. Those journals included."

I was suddenly nose to nose with Twilight. "You have to let me read them."

I arched a brow before giving her nose a quick lick causing her to jerk back. "The books or the journals?"

"Both." She replied with a blush as she realized how she'd been acting.

"I'll think about it." She pouted but didn't press as it wasn't an outright no. I, however, came to an abrupt stop as I stared at what had to be the largest gingerbread house I had ever seen. "What the fuck?"

"Mirror Language please."

I pointed at the building. "Why does that building look like it was made from gingerbread?"

"Because it's Sugarcube Corner, our destination actually." She said with a smile.

"Please tell me that's not actual gingerbread and just looks like it?"

That drew an amused giggle from her. "As tasty as it looks it just looks like it."

As we entered I noticed a pink mare who perked up as the bell chimed. "Hi Twilight, Hi.." She froze a moment before the next moment she was nose to nose to me like Twilight had been earlier. "Mirror read my mind right now!"

"Pinkie?"

Twilight seemed confused, however, I did as requested, then blanched at what I saw. I stepped back from her before charging my horn with magic. With a flash, I was no longer in Sugarcube corner I was instead behind some bushes in Ponyville.

I could hear repeated yells of "FUN!" coming from all around as I plunged through the bushes grabbed a pink mare that was giving off waves of depression. Which I shocked her out of by kissing her hard enough to get her attention.

"Hello Pinkie, I'm an alternate future version of Twilight Sparkle. You can call me Mirror Flash, I'm here to help you with your little clone problem. I need to you Pinkie Promise you won't tell anyone I was ever here until after I show up in Sugarcube corner with your version of me someday. Where the first thing you must do is get me to read your mind, so I know to come back and fix this."

"Really?" Her teary eyes started to brighten and her hair started to poof up.

"Yes, now Pinkie Promise."

"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!"

I yanked the Rainbow Belt from the saddlebags and snapped it on. Pinkie's eyes if anything grew wider. Then I pulled her into a hug before the gems glowed and I let out my spell. All of Ponyville ended up covered by a massive bright flash. All the Pinkie clones causing havoc were hit at once, and all of them had the magic forming them shattered. They didn't get sent back to the Mirror Pool, they simply ceased to exist.

"Remember to tell no one about me, and make sure you get your friends to help seal off that Pool so this doesn't happen again." I gave her a nuzzle before letting go. Another flash and I was back where I had started from, seconds after I left. The only difference was the belt around my hips. Both Pinkie and Twilight were rubbing spots from their eyes.

"What just happened?" Twilight demanded once they could see clearly again.

"Sorry," I said while removing my Belt and slipping it back into the saddlebags and winked at Pinkie. "But it's covered by a Pinkie Promise not to tell."

"But you two just met!"

Pinkie giggled and just hugged me before saying. "Sorry Twilight but Mirror is correct there is a Pinkie Promise involved."

My counterpart gave us both an exasperated look. "You told me you never met Pinkie before."

"And today is the first day that I met her." It just was not the first day she met me.

She rubbed her hoof against the base of her horn and sighed. "Just Pinkie being Pinkie?"

"Yeppers!"

I nodded in agreement. "Her mind is a really strange place to visit though."

"I bet it is." Twilight paused a moment before continuing in a fond tone. "It's hard to make sense of her the best of times."

I blinked at that. "Really? She makes perfect sense to me.. But then I've also bonded my version of Laughter so that might help."

"You can understand her?"

"Not really all that hard, she's even more Obsessive Compulsive than we are when it comes to making the perfect party."

I was suddenly grabbed and shaken. "And the Pinkie Sense?!? You understand that?"

"Yes, I can. After all, I just read her mind. However, the Pinkie Sense is not something that can be explained in the limited vocabulary that makes up Equish."

"Limited vocabulary?"

"Yes, our language just doesn't have the words necessary to convey all the concepts that compose it. The closest you can get is." I paused for dramatic effect. "Pinkie Sense," I said those words as if they explained everything much to Pinkie's amusement and Twilight's frustration.

"There there Twilight, why don't you have a seat and I'll get you and Mirror some cupcakes."

After a moment Twilight released me and made her way to a table and sat down and I followed her and sat as well. "If it helps I've come across a few things that are even harder to explain."

"Really?"

I nodded. "I used to be sacrificed to an Old One every Saturday. Which meant I got to see glimpses of the underlying framework of all existence for ten years straight."

"That doesn't make any sense."

"Well, it does if you consider I was the virgin who ended up getting offered up so an Ancient Cult could learn the secrets of existence, in exchange for my virginity every time."

"Mirror you can only lose that once."

"Not if your virginity resets every night. Every time I wake up in the morning I'm a virgin again."

"How?"

"I could say 'It's Magic don't have to explain shit.' However, it's also that I have nanobots that restore it every night."

"Language please."

"Sorry but that is the actual quote. From quite a few different books." I smirked at her expression at that.

Pinkie returned with the cupcakes and joined us at the table. "So Mirror what brings you to Ponyville?"

"Twilight kidnapped me, ran experiments and then used a spell to make me look like a normal pony." I paused a moment or two. "Thankfully Spike went to la-la land before she started to probe me." Twilight bit into a cupcake blushing at how I made what had happened sound.

"Ahhh. So classic Twilight."

"I'd do the same thing probably if I was in her place. Only I would definitely get the probing done first." My counterpart choked as I started to enjoy my own cupcake. "She also nearly kissed me when I told her I have books."

"Would that qualify as narcissism?"

"Yes, it would."

"You are enjoying this way too much."

"Yes, I am. After all, unlike you, I don't need to play proper Peppy Princess."

"Peppy Princess?"

"My nickname for you. Since you're a much Peppier version of me."

"Ooooh... I can see that. You're the Metal Twilight and she's the Peppy Twilight."

I snorted in amusement even as my alternate sighed. That was true in more than one sense of the word. "By the way, what is the Cutie Map you mentioned earlier?"

"It's a magical map of Equestria, every time there is a friendship problem it picks those who are best to solve it and then shows their Cutie Mark over the location they need to go to. The Marks usually flash when somepony is summoned and when they fix the problem. It's how I found you, my Cutie Mark appeared over the location for the Tree of Harmony."

"So your flank flashed and you came running?"

She paused a moment before. "No, actually it didn't only showed my Mark."

"Mirror's flank flashed like it normally does when the problem is solved while you were still wiping the spots from your eyes." Pinkie piped up before swallowing another whole cupcake in one bite.

All three of us looked down to my flank where a Mark visually identical to Twilight's was located. Her eye twitched and she started to rub the base of her horn. "But she didn't solve any problems."

Pinkie gave me a look as if to ask. "Can I tell her?"

Yes, you may.

I rolled my eyes with a chuckle as Pinkie smiled widely. "Actually she jumped back in time to save us all from the army of Pinkie Clones."

Twilight froze before looking at the pair of us. My smug smile and Pinkie's cheerful one. "I told you I have a sense of humor very similar to his. And not once has anything I have told you today a lie."

"Just not the whole context?"

I nodded and grinned at her. "I had figured you'd guess something was up when I put the Belt back in the Saddlebag. But you got distracted by the Pinkie Sense." I leaned over and gave my other self a deep kiss on the lips one that left her blushing by the time I pulled back. "Hope you liked the consolation prize. Anyway, I need to get home. Mind if I give the bags back next time I visit?"

Still blushing she shook her head. "No, keep them. I can always get another spare."

"Thanks see you both again sometime." I moved from the table and then jumped back to my current Home Dimension. I smirked as I imagined Sunset's reaction to my current form, or when I used the spell on her as well. I licked my lips as I entered the Decontamination Chamber.

Disappointingly Sunset was not home when I arrived back. Apparently, she had decided to go out and have some fun without me. While the without me part was annoying, I really could not hold it against her. While she was my loving slave, I treated her more like a girlfriend than one. So it should not be a surprise that she would go do things on her own.

So I used the counterspell, before casting the spell Twilight had used again. Then I did it again several more times. Testing the limit of what it could do, while reverting myself to my default form between each test. I found so long as the form was even part Pony that I would always have my wings. However, going pure human in form left my back as wing free as it had been prior to last month.

I was currently nude in human form sitting in a runic circle of my own design. It was in one of my apartment's empty rooms. The circle was made of concentric rings. Each one meant to contain whatever was within, with the sole exception of me physically leaving. Much like I had basked in the light of the Tree of Harmony, I had done so so for another aspect of who and what I am.

The room I was in was currently dark, the door closed leaving me in near total darkness. Where I had opened all my senses to the tree I didn't open them all now. I instead seeped my magic out of me and into the air around me. The circles keeping it contained to the area around me. Since this was an exercise I had not done in many years I went slow. The magic outside my body getting thicker until the shadows began to roil. I could feel it sliding against my skin. Tendrils of magic and shadows sliding around me, and in places over me.

Many might think that my first real lover had been my adoptive father when the show began. And in a sense that would be true, but in a sense, it also wasn't. Before the Show, before the Contract, before Dissy I had had a lover even Daybreaker did not suspect. A lover that had been with me since I was born, always at my side and assisting in anything I did. Even though she likely didn't realize it the other Twilight had the same lover even if she had never realized it.

That lover was my own Magic, the first time I ever did this, it came at me in a rush. Filling my younger self in a way that was so heady I had come back crawling for more. The Elements had only added that, though I was doing this without my belt for now. With age, however, had come control, over myself and over my magic. I could feel the tendrils caressing my skin, along with the curves of my body. Admittedly before the Contract, nothing had ever actually penetrated my depths. Not even my magic.

But ten years of being used, abused, forced to be fucked, of being made into a dump for anyone who wanted had changed me. Now when I felt a tendril sliding across my lips, they parted allowing it to slide into my mouth. My hips arched just enough to allow tendrils to enter me from below. The feel of it curling around my breasts as I suppressed a moan.

Shadows sliding along, coating and even staining my skin. My tongue sliding against both the tendril and my teeth, hips rocking back and forth seemingly to nothing. But I could feel it slowly thrusting, and stretching with each passing moment. My breath came faster even as I suppressed another moan. Feeling as I rose from the floor, held up in the loving tendrils.

The pupils behind my lids turning into pink hearts shadow so thick that they were a dark mass wrapped around me, holding my legs apart and my arms above my head. I sucked and fucked, losing track of the time as I floated within the circle. No doubt it if this were the pit I would be full of seed swelling from the sheer volume. Even with the lack of seed I was enjoying myself immensely. So, of course, I get interrupted, the door opening letting in a bit of light to disturb me.

Enter and close the door or leave and close the door.

I didn't bother to use my voice as my mouth was stretched around a thick tendril of magic as my dear pet stepped inside wearing shorts and a t-shirt. The collar was ever present on her neck, and I knew she would have no underwear beneath that one layer of clothing. After all I hadn't allowed her to wear any today.

"Mirror why is it so dark in here?"

I gave her a slightly fanged smirk as I answered by giving another order.

Because I want it dark, just as I want you stripped.

The tone I used even mentally was one she had been trained and conditioned to obey before being gifted to me. The reaction was immediate, "Yes Mistress." Soon I could hear the sound of what little clothing she had on being removed and dropped to the floor. "I have stripped Mistress."

Good, come to the center of the room. Be careful though I have runic circle down do not break the lines when you enter.

To help her I focused a bit of magic to the side causing the lines to glow just enough that she would be able to see where they were. I could hear the pair of hooves getting closer only to stop before the edge of the circle.

"It's safe to enter?"

As long as you do not break the lines yes. The circle is meant to contain magic, not bar physical passage.

A moment later she stepped within and I could feel her with my magic. Once she was in fully she was hit with a spell that shifted her into her pure human appearance. Just before tendrils wrapped around her and pulled her off her feet.

"Mistress what.."

Quiet, what you feel is simply my magic running free within the confines of the circle. Plus a little spell I picked up from the other Twilight today.

"Mmph!" One of the tendrils shoved into her mouth before she had a chance to close it. She was pulled through the mass surrounding me, her legs pulled wide like mine, and her arms pulled up above her head. Her torso ended up pressed up flush against mine. My own arms were released so I could slide them around her waist hugging her tightly as tendrils pushed into her lower holes. Soon the only sounds where her very muffled moans as she too was slowly taken by my magic.

My nails raked across the skin of her back adding in a real physical sensation in addition to the phantom ones we were subjected to at that point. Once again I soon lost track of all time. The pair of us floated in that room, caressed and filled with my magic. Eventually, though we would be lowered, legs brought together so that she would be in my lap, her legs wrapped around my hips.

I could feel her body spasming against mine as I slowly reeled in my magic. The tendril slipping from my mouth before I began to lick and nibble on her shoulder. My hands squeezing her firm bottom as the shadows around us still. Soon leaving the pair of us all that was left within the circle. "Mmmm.. Have fun my pet?" I purred into her ear.

"Oooh. What was that?"

"My magic, mixed with the shadows. A little trick from before my world died." I smirked softly. "Haven't done it in years. Admittedly this is the first time I've actually penetrated myself or another with it."

"And that spell you mentioned?" She murmured back.

"You now look like your sexy human self. And so do I." I nibbled on her lower lip. "It lasts until I use the counterspell." And then I kissed her deeply our tongues dancing together before mine pushed down her throat. Leaving her gasping once broke the kiss and pulled my tongue back.

"So your transit spell worked?"

I nodded nuzzling her cheek. "Oh yes. Dropped me right next to the ruins that were the Imperial Palace in my world. Paid a visit to a very special place before the other Twilight showed up."

"What place?"

"Just where the Elements originally came from. The Tree that produced them is still alive in your old world. So I listened to her sing. And then messed with my counterpart until I came home." I nipped at her ear with a smirk. "Was left so horny that when I got home and found you were out. Well, I had to find a way to amuse myself."

"So you masturbated with your magic?"

"No."I murred giving her a light bite on the shoulder. "I made love to my magic."

"Mirror sometimes you're really weird." I gave a chuckle at that. "Why does it feel like you have fangs."

"Side effect of using shadows as the medium, they fade eventually. If you check with your tongue you should have some too."

Her answer was a light love bite on my shoulder letting me feel that yes she did have a set cute little fangs. Slowly I rose to my feet carrying Sunset as I did make my way out of the circle. Very carefully I stepped over the lines, passing through the barrier without breaking it. I would be able to feel what shadows still clung to me get stripped away and left behind in the circle until the magic completely dissipated.

Pausing by the door I reached out and flicked the light switch, bathing the room in light before opening the door and carrying my pet to our bed.

Dear Princess Celestia,

Today it finally happened, the other Princess Twilight Sparkle I told you about when I returned from the Human World the first time actually visited Equestria. Sadly the spells I set up to detect the magic surge she put off when she arrived at Canterlot High turned out to be useless. She seems to have refined the spell that allows her to travel between Dimensions to the point her arrivals may now be either undetectable, or possibly easily missed if somepony isn't watching for it at the right time.

It is only thanks to the Cutie Map that I even discovered she was in Equestria at all. When I checked it this morning as per usual. I saw my Cutie Mark being displayed over the location of the Tree of Harmony. The odd part is my Mark had not started pulsing to summon me to the map, but at the time I had not noticed. Considering how rare it is for the Map to send me on a Friendship Mission I lost no time in getting to the Tree's Cave.

Only once there I discovered that the Tree was not alone. Sitting in a gap of the roots with her back against the Tree of Harmony's trunk was the other me. The odd part was she seemed to be treating the Tree of Harmony like it was any old tree in a park. The kind you would sit under on a sunny day while either napping or enjoying a good book.

She looked like she was napping, while I would soon find out that wasn't actually what she was doing. She looked significantly calmer, and had such a peaceful expression with tear tracks down her cheeks. I was for a moment hesitant to interrupt whatever she doing. The Tree was glowing as it had just before it had unleashed the Rainbow Power to allow my friends and I to defeat Tirek. The Elements in the Tree were also glowing extremely bright, as were their counter parts in the belt the other me wore were also glowing just as brightly.

I had no idea just what was going on, so using the what the Human Fluttershy told me was her preferred name I asked. She opened her left eye, the pink one and gave me a one word answer. Listening. She seemed to get annoyed at my confusion and had me sit down next her her put my back against the Tree and then walked me through just what she was doing.

I can't find the words to describe what I experienced. Did you know that the Tree of Harmony can SING? It is not audible to normal hearing, you have open your magical senses in just the right way to hear it. It was just so beautiful I nearly found myself crying from it. More when we eventually started chatting the way she talked made the Tree sound fully Sapient. I had always suspected it was sentient since quite a few of the things that have happened over the years give a clear indication in that direction.

However Mirror Flash, the name the other me prefers using, talked about the Tree as if She, the Tree, were another pony. She used gender pronouns, called what I believe is the Tree's mind or spirit as Light, though she said we would probably call her Harmony. She words and tone made it sound as if she was a dear old friend she hadn't seen in a very long time.

Considering the current state of her world, I can only postulate that her corresponding Tree of Harmony did in fact at one point die. Which makes me wonder how her Elements are even still functional, which adds to the list of questions of how can she use all the Elements instead of just one. Though the fact she had never met Pinkie Pie before today may mean she never met her worlds version of my friends.

She then let slip that the reason why she looks Anthropomorphic is because the body she currently has was NOT the one she was born with. The world she had gone to after her world's destruction is apparently very advanced in at least technology and one hinted at form of magic. Apparently she was so badly injured on arrival that the only thing keeping her alive where her Elements.

The humans of that world then using her own genetics as a template then constructed an extremely advanced android body that they then transferred her mind and soul into. I have only really encountered this concept before in some of the Science Fiction I was exposed to when visiting Sunset. They call the concept Tran-humanism. When you transcend a mortal organic body by uploading into a machine one. Androids being extremely advanced golems created without use of magic in any way.

What this means is that if it is common enough that Immortality for the average pony might be reduced to an optional medical procedure you could get at any hospital. I am embarrassed to admit that the fact I had an actual working example sitting next to me. Well you can guess what happened. I snatched her in my magic teleported home and rushed to my lab.

It was only when she admonished me for forgetting really basic scientific procedures that I actually realized what I had gotten a bit carried away. Thankfully she was more amused than upset by being on the receiving end for once. She did not seem to mind my enthusiasm so long as I waited for her to strip off her clothing an any item that would interfere with my examination of her.

I have attached Spike's Notes and Transcription of the interview we had during her preparation before and during the examination. Spike thoughtfully switched certain words to our worlds equivalent. Those are the ones he put in brackets, as Mirror seemed to like using the human variation of some less than polite language at times. I found out later, she does that because she does not have to be a proper princess anymore. Admittedly I am surprised Spike managed to transcribe that last bit before he drifted of, to quote Mirror, "la la land" requiring us to adjourn earlier than I had hoped for.

I also discovered who ended up taking up the role for her than my friends do for me. I'm half afraid of what might happen if she was in the same room as Discord. Or as she calls him Dissy, the one who taught her how to laugh. Which considering the Imperium outlawed humor to the point giggling was a punishable criminal offense might be why she seems to have a sense of humor similar to his.

To borrow a human term, she was Trolling me the entire time we were together, telling the truth in such a way that unless you knew the full context you would make erroneous conclusions. Quite a few things she says only made sense after she pointed out that I was operating on assumptions based on what I considered normal and logical. At one detaching her own limb and then reattaching it just to prove the point.

The context to make sense of how her body is set up the way it is, is that what is normal and logical in the world she lives is so out of left field that she need to explicitly point it out to me. And that the name Mirror Flash was in fact a stage name she had created so as not to have the name Twilight Sparkle associated with her former career as a Pornstar.

A Pornstar being somepony who is paid to not only have sexual relations with somepony else that is also being paid to do so, but to do it while on camera with the intent of then selling that footage to anypony who wants it. In the Human World it is only legal for those over the age of eighteen, thus legal adults, to participate, or view such content. At least in the country where Canterlot High is located. The irony being that same country also bans prostitution while allowing Porn.

However the version of the Human World that Mirror and Sunset's Portal Twin live. Mirror calls it Porno World because very thing there runs on what she calls Porn Logic. And after she left Sunset with that world's Luna, it seems Cadence showed up and talked Sunset into some sort of Contract, one that ended up with her living with Mirror.

Back on topic, after going over the results I was able to determine, that despite her fears, a polymorphic spell would have a less than five percent chance of triggering a negative reaction, with another five percent margin of error. While not one hundred percent those were very positive odds and with her permission I tested such a spell on her. To make it easier I focused on shifting her to full pony at that time.

I know I am not fat, I am at a healthy weight ratio for my age and level of activity. However Mirror quite literally has the body of a Wonderbolt or an active member of the Royal Guard, specifically to the standard that Luna keeps the Night Guard to. Which given that Mirror told me she was trained for War and Aggressive Diplomacy clearly indicates that she was a military soldier at some point in her life. Clearly that is also possibly why she believes killing is an acceptable final option to situations.

I still believe killing shouldn't be an option at all. She however did not want to argue her position, citing it would be something we could agree to disagree on. That point was a valid in that you do not have to agree with everything in order be friends. Since I think she views me as a potential friend, I let the issue drop. Especially after she admitted she prefers not killing if she can find any other way to solve a problem first.

Eventually we made our way to Sugarcube corner as I wanted to treat her to cupcakes as a partial apology for my earlier over enthusiasm, and of course introduce her to Pinkie. It quickly became obvious that she was barely restraining herself from that same over enthusiastic examination of every little thing in we passed in Ponyville.

It makes me wonder what her version of what has become my home is looks like in her world. While the lack of roads being laid out in grids and that the various buildings did not look all exactly the same surprised her. It was the ponies going about their lives in varying degrees of happiness that seemed to shock her the most.

It was then I found out things like humor were outlawed. Since what held her attention was that "they aren't afraid some one might show up and drag them away for Re-Education or worse." More that it had been something she had "planned to change after ousting" your counter part from power. And I learned a bit more of her society that was left out of the book she gave me.

Speaking of I know both you and Luna currently have it. I discovered that the phrase "Assigned to the Frontier" actually means to have been deemed no longer useful and either killed or sent on a suicide mission where you are not expected to return from. Can either of you double check on how often that phrase popped up and when it first appeared in the text?

On a much happier note she may have been friends with her version of Daring Do without having realized it. Given she still has a complete set of unpublished adventures that Daring undertook. Apparently her books would have been deemed too chaotic and thus illegal to publish in that world. Something Mirror had promised to change if that Daring Do helped her find the Elements of Harmony.

If she needed Daring Do, I think maybe your alternate scattered and hid the Elements all across the Imperium so that nopony could use them against her. Which means her adventure to find the Elements may have taken much longer than what my friends and I went through. Here is the thing though, she promised to help her Daring publish those journals, and she kept them even though her Daring likely died when her world did. Along with other books she managed to save.

That promise though seems important enough that she's considering having them published here, if she can get our Daring to give permission. I am planning on sending her a letter about it as well. Hopefully she will agree and we will get to find out just what the other Daring got up to, and how different or similar she was to ours.

The meeting Pinkie with Mirror in tow was strange, even when you account for the Pinkie Factor. She greeted me as normal, I expected her to react like she normally does when she meets a new pony for the first time. Instead she ends up eyeballs to eyeballs with Miror, and using Mirror's preferred name demands for the other me to read her mind.

Oh yes turns out the other me is a Telepath, I found that out when she asked to copy the polymorphic spell and it's counter spell directly from my mind. Once I gave permission for that I didn't feel anything you would expect from a mental intrusion at all until I heard her mental voice say "Thank you" in my head. Sadly she can only have full two way communications with another Telepath that way.

Back to the point, Mirror suddenly blanches after likely complying with Pinkie's demand. Her horn lights up and there is a flash bright enough to blind me for a few seconds while I blinked the spots from my eyes. She then end up with an easy yet frustrating to understand banter with Pinkie. While seeming to think Pinkie makes absolute perfect sense.

More she seemed understand the Pinkie Sense. And when apologetically explained that Equish simply did not have the vocabulary needed to explain the concepts. The closest you could explain Pinkie Sense was the words PINKIE SENSE! Then as a consolation prize she kissed me. Not a friendly peck between friends, or the kind you would give say a sister. No it was a full on lip lock where her impossibly long tongue not only invaded my mouth but slid down my throat for a second before she pulled back again. It left me first breathless then utterly embarrassed while the three of us chatted over cupcakes.

Just before she returned home she asked me what the Cutie Map was, after I explained. Pinkie pipped up that when I had been blinded Mirror's Cutie Mark had signaled that she had solved a friendship problem. Apparently it turns out the Map hadn't been summoning me, it had been summoning Mirror. As that earlier flash had been Mirror jumping back to when Ponyville had been under attack by the Army of Pinkie Clones.

Pinkie apparently had Pinkie Promised Mirror not to tell anyone just what happened until Mirror returned to the present and gave her permission to. She had apparently arrived, immediately zeroed in on the Original Pinkie, shocked her out of a really bad depression using the same kiss on Pinkie that she gave me. Then pulled out her Elements of Harmony before using them to fire off a spell that vanished all the extra Pinkie's leaving only the real Pinkie untouched. Only to immediately return to the present before the flash from her jump back had faded.

Signed you really confused former student,

Twilight Sparkle

P.S. Please don't tell Cadence, but how do you deal with another version of yourself who makes it blindingly obvious she finds you and at least one of your friends sexually attractive? Because that is the only thing I can think of to explain those kisses.

Princess Luna snerked as she set down the scroll that contained Twilight's latest letter to her sister. Only to pick up the papers of Spike's notes and transcribed interview only to giggle as she got to the part where Spike had likely fallen into daydreams related to what Mirror had described using him, only full grown in the imagery, to explicitly answer Twilight's question after asking if the Princess of Friendship really wanted the answer.

She then glanced to where her sister was sipping tea with a wry smile on her lips. "Thank you, Sister, for sharing this.."

"You can tell just between the lines that the other Twilight was having fun winding up ours," Celestia admitted after a moment. "At least when she wasn't dealing with the culture shock."

"Indeed, reminds me almost of what it was like after being away for a thousand years." Both sisters gave a sigh at that. "Only for her, I suspect it would be worse considering how different our two worlds seem."

"Indeed. Between the book, the letter, and the interview." Celestia sighed as she spoke. "It makes me glad I chose to use the Elements to banish you. Especially when the alternative..."

"The alternative turned your counterpart into a monster." Luna finished moving to give her sister a hug and nuzzled. "To think, that in one world Starlight's nightmare actually came true.."

"The problem is the list of names.."

"Sister?"

"When I was trying to find a way to save you, I wasn't just looking for those who could be mere Bearers. But the true successors for each of the Pillars to be those Bearers."

"I take it you believed they would have the best chance to save me?"

"To save you, as well as surpass their predecessors. Both us and the Pillars. Mostly in hopes that what happened between us wouldn't repeat itself."

"Twas a noble goal. And I have no doubt the Bearers would not be overly upset if you explained that to them."

Celestia gave a soft smile. "The problem though my dear sister, is that several times I tried to train ponies to fill that role. Never had a signal true success until Twilight. Sunset was the closest but even then I failed her, to the point she needed to run away to another World before she could eventually find her way."

"And the others?"

"Eventually all left using their bright minds to advance their chosen fields. Each and every one I still cherish to this day. But none of them was our old mentor's successor."

"Until Twilight?"

"Until Twilight, whose Cutie Mark was quite blatantly the Element of Magic surrounded by the rest of the Elements. The one day I sit down to take a break from looking for her, there is a sonic rainboom and the roof of my school is getting knocked off by a gigantic baby Spike and a little filly having the biggest surge I've ever seen." The white Alicorn gave her sister a wry smile. "Once I restored everything to order I was nearly as giddy as Twilight when I pointed out her new Cutie Mark. But I was also terrified I would screw something up and fail her as a teacher."

"Clearly you succeeded despite your fears."

"Yes but that was more due to Twilight than me at times. But back to my point. That list of names scares me. Every mare on it was one I taught while specifically trying to find Starswirl's successor. After all, if the other me didn't need to save you, then why would every Imperial Princess on that list up to Twilight be somepony I had thought had potential to be the Bearer of Magic."

"Tis troubling." Luna agreed after a moment of thought. "Especially as this Imperium seems to have been designed to make sure no pony could ever wield the Elements against your alternate. If what we could glean from the text is true."

"Still." Celestia looked back to where the letter lay. "I would like to meet her at some point. Not right away mind you, battle fatigue is not something to joke about."

"Very true.. Especially given that this Mirror sounds like how we had to be before Discord's defeat. If a bit more high strung." Luna nodded. "I too would like to meet her as well. And Sister you did well in that Twilight, our Twilight, grew up not having to be a hardened warrior in order to protect those she cares for. We did not have that option until well after we became Princesses."

"Thankfully the world is a much more peaceful place than it used to be. I just wish I had realized my mistakes back then. Maybe we could have gotten to this point without the many many rough patches we both had to deal with."

"Alas, twas a failing of us both." Luna agreed. "Thankfully we have very good friends to help keep us grounded and point out when we are being truly foalish."

"To good friends."

"Aye, to good friends."

Two cups clinked together before the pair resumed their tea.
