A Mirrored Perspective

I let out a sigh as I sank into the mud up to my chin, after another failed attempt at flying. The lessons had been moved from the Royal Gardens to the lakeside near Ponyville. It made them both easier for Rainbow Dash to get to, and safer then say trying to jump off a mountain.

"Come on! Get up and try again. You made it one hundred feet this time."

"In a straight line," I muttered in response to Rainbow's words even as I pushed myself back up. The underside of my body was caked in mud from the various times I had crashed into the mud along the shoreline. It would likely have been a nightmare to clean it from my coat if I wasn't still wearing the latex suit while it was invisible. As it was I just had to make sure I didn't get any on my wings.

"Turns come later," Rainbow smirked at me as I trudged back up the hill that served as my launch point. "Right now is more about getting off the ground. Feeling the air currents with your wings and magic, and remaining airborne as long as possible."

"At least I haven't had a repeat of the first time I went hypersonic on my Board, yet." At her raised brow I explained. "Ended up slamming into a wall. Had to wait for somepony to come, reattach my arms and legs before I could move again."

"That had to hurt." Rainbow winced at the idea of slamming into something at those speeds.

"Yes, it did, in both a good and bad way." I shook my head before getting ready for the next attempt. "Thankfully I had a really good medical plan. So they were able to put me back together." I began to mentally adjust variables in my head, too much force or magic and I launched myself too fast and lost control and crashed into the mud. Too little and I ended up flat on my face in the mud again.

"You're overthinking it again." She commented no doubt using what she knew of Twilight to read my expressions.

"Not all of us are naturals at this like you," I responded without any real heat as the sound of something landing behind me was heard. Most likely it was Dash, watching as I stretched my wings out once more and gave a few test strokes with them. My nose twitched as I started to run forward toward the drop off that I would launch from.

"Hows her flying coming?" A distinctly male voice sounded causing an ear to flick back just as I gave the launching flap. My head turned slightly in my distraction causing me to see who had spoken. Wings came down and I ended up launched leaving behind hard winds as I noticed Thunder Charge in his armor.

Next thing I knew was that I was half embedded in a cloud. My eye twitched pulled myself slowly up on top of it before spitting out a wad of cloud stuff. A moment later both Dash and Thunder were settling down on each side of me. Dash snickering up a storm while I just blinked at Thunder. "Not that I'm not happy to see you, but what are you doing here?"

"Do you two know each other?"

We both nodded even though it was Thunder who answered her. "Miss Fluttershy introduced us. As for why I am here." He then focused on me. "I was assigned to guard a very important pony while she is in Equestria."

"Who?" I asked dumbly.

"Why you Princess. Lieutenant Thunder Charge reporting for duty Princess Mirror."

I groaned and half buried my face back in the cloud to hide my reaction. "And how did you get that job?"

"As soon as it was announced I volunteered." His hoof lifted my head up by the chin revealing the blush that had appeared. "After all, I did offer to help you again."

"Help her with what?"

I glanced at him and he gave a small nod. "Rainbow Dash meet the Stallion that rutted me so thoroughly that I was left 'high as a kite' nearly all yesterday. And as a result, didn't Twiplode when I ended up face to face with Celestia." She blinked before eying the grey coated and black-maned Day Guard that was still holding my chin.

His answer to my statement was a very enjoyable kiss on my mouth before letting go and stepping back with a smirk. "So back to my earlier question. How is Princess Mirror's flying coming?"

"She was managing to get a hundred feet in distance," Dash smirked as well. "Though she seems to have set a new personal height record."

The altimeter in my vision read one thousand meters up. Showing just how startled spotting my new bodyguard had made me. I walked to the edge of the cloud and peered down. "Going to have to aim for the lake."

"Not good on landings yet?"

"The hoverboard I used tends to handle stuff like that automatically. All I had to do was shift my weight around. At least the suit will keep my limbs from scattering if they pop off."

"What suit?"

I glanced at Dash before with a shrug had Melody disable the invisibility of my suit. "This one," I stated impishly as they both took in the sight of my form clad in shiny rubber. "While not specifically a flight suit it has been helping keep the mud off me."

"Is that rubber?"

"Eyup, what are your flight suits made from?"

"Spandex..."

I gave a nod having my suit go invisible again, before stepping off the cloud with my wings spread. Soon I was falling even as my wings caught the air. No doubt the pair were darting after me as I dropped while aiming for the middle of the lake. My mind making calculation after calculation. Somehow along the way, however, I found myself overshooting my target. I had jumped off the cloud and ended up missing the ground.

Sadly the elation of actually managing to fly did not last long, as rather than ending up in the lake like I wanted. I ended up coming to a stop tangled up in the branches of a tree. I made a mental note to work on both my steering and landings. Ending up hanging upside down in a tree wasn't what I wanted at all.

"Are you okay?"

I blinked and looked to see a whole bunch of fillies and colts crowding around the base of the tree. Further examining my surroundings showed the sight of an actual red schoolhouse. "I jumped off a cloud and missed the lake I was aiming for." My wry tone drew quite a few giggles from them.

"Why are you so muddy?"

"Before she ended up face first into a cloud, she kept crashing into the mud a lot," Dash stated as she came to over by the tree.

"Hi Rainbow Dash!" All the foals greeted her with smiles.

She waved at them even as Thunder arrived and started to help extract me from the tree. I gave him a grateful look even as I sighed. "Yeah, flight lessons are tough."

"You managed a new personal best."

"I merely missed the ground until I collided with a tree." I half grumped. "I can't wait until I can learn how to actually steer."

One thing you have to love about pegasi and weather control, having one jump on or wring out a cloud over you is a great way to rinse the mud off even it resulted in you having a soaked mane. Another good thing is the school stocked towels, usually, to help dry off foals on rainy days.

"Thank you Miss Cheerilee," You smile while using the towel she gave you to dry off.

"Oh, it's no problem Princess." She returned with a smile of her own.

Rainbow was entertaining her fans with air stunts, while Thunder was nearby standing at attention. The cute part was a few of the younger colts were mimicking him. Standing there looking like adorable little puff balls trying to be Guards. "So this School has only one classroom? How do you handle a class with such an age mix?"

"Very carefully." She nodded with a giggle. "That and some of the older students like to help the younger ones. Some lessons can be taught regardless of age. Mostly, however, it's scheduling, really young ones I get earliest in the morning. With each age group coming for a class at different times over the course of the day."

"I assume your not the only teacher?"

"There are a few of us, I mostly handle the core subjects. We have other Teachers who specialize in helping students as explore as many possibilities as possible. Both for a well-rounded education and to help them find their Special Talents."

"I noticed a distinct lack of Casteless so you and your colleagues must be doing something right."

"Casteless?" She asked puzzled by the term.

"In my native world, we had a rigid Caste System based on Cutie Marks. Basically, if you became an adult and were still a Blank Flank, then you'd be labeled Casteless. Which was one of the only two methods that would result in a pony becoming a slave."

"That sounds horrible!"

"It was, my Nanny was a really sweet mare who loved taking care of foals. Sadly she was Casteless so once I was old enough to no longer require a Nanny, she was sold to another family."

"Did you ever see her again?"

"Once." I pointed at one of the teenage fillies that were in the schoolyard. "Crossed paths with her when she was taking care of that one's counterpart. I think she was six or seven at the time. Worst brat I have ever met."

"Diamond Tiara?" She named the filly after looking over. "She was something of one until recently. The Crusaders helped her stand up to Spoiled Rich." At my arched brow. "Her mother and sadly Head of the School Board."

"Snob?"

"That obvious?"

I gave her a nod. "Your expression is one I have seen on those who've had to deal with Snobs and weren't able to just order them removed," At her look, I gave a sad chuckle. "Nopony can waste the time of ponies like a Snob."

"Oh, Celestia..." She nodded in full agreement. "For a time I was really worried Diamond grow up to be one. Thankfully though she has gotten better. Her father is now aware, and she only has to put up with her Mother for another year."

"She planning to move out?"

"I wouldn't be surprised if she did as soon as her next birthday hits."

"Well then," I gave an amused smile. "Let's help cement her new outlook." Handing the towel back to the teacher I made my way over to where the filly was currently with one of her friends. A grey filly in glasses that had a spoon on her flanks. They didn't quite notice me so engrossed they were on the whatever topic they were conversing about. "Diamond Tiara."

The pair jumped slightly before turning to me. "Oh... Hello Princess."

The filly seemed a bit nervous with my full attention on her. My face was currently blank of any expression. "You might be interested to know that I recognize you from my World. Though I never bothered to learn your name until today. Your alternate was the one of the few that stuck in my mind."

"Oh?"

I nodded. "I only spoke to her once. That day I told her the following. 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?" The filly's eyes went wide. "She has always been in my mind. The Brat." I then smiled at her. "So you can imagine my surprise at hearing such good things about you from Miss Cheerilee."

"I'm trying to be better than I was."

"That fact impressed me and I've decided to do this." I took a step back.

"Imperial Authorization Approved.
Restrictions on Level Four Release!"

The effect was instant, a spell array lit snapped into existence beneath me. My eyes lit up while my horn started crackling with power. Wings spreading wide as winds snapped up around me and every Element in my Belt also began shining brightly. To say that I drew the attention of everypony around me would be an understatement.

I could feel through my connection to the Elements, Harmony's amusement. As I began firing off a beam from both my horn and the Elements into a single spot above Diamond's head. Forming a sphere of pure raw magic, one that I definitely did not want to lose control over.

Slowly it condensed as I poured more power into it. Eventually, though it hit critical mass and a smoothly polished gemstone began to form. It was the same color as Diamond's eyes once it was complete, a simple silver setting formed on one side. A chain formed attached to the newly created amulet before I finally cut off the magic save for that which kept it aloft.

"Restrictions Restore to Level Five Lock!"

The array vanished and the winds subsided as I returned to normal. I then lowered the new amulet down around the neck of a very wide-eyed filly.

"What.. What is this?"

"A reward for choosing to become a better mare than your mother." I smiled softly as she took the amulet in her hoof to look it over. "It is also a Test."

"What kind of test?"

"What better way to test a pony than to grant them power and see what they will do with it." I leaned in closer. "That wasn't just made from magic it is also magic in and of itself."

She blinked before looking up at me. "What does it do?"

"Wishes," I said with an amused smile. "Each day it shall grant a single wish, with some restrictions of course. They can't be used to kill directly or indirectly. They can not bring back those who have died. And they can not bypass Free Will, or change the fundamental nature of a thing." She and her friend boggled at both it and myself. "Also it's linked to the Virtues of Harmony. So if you were to do something truly wrong, it will Prank you. At least until you atone for whatever you did."

"What if my mother gets her hooves on this?" She asked truly worried about the idea.

"These rules will apply to anyone who gets their hooves on it. However, it is also enchanted so only the wearer can remove it. After all, if you ever have foals you might end up wanting to pass it along someday." I winked at her. "So if your mother did somehow manage to steal it. She would be Pranked mercilessly until she returned it."

"What gave you the idea for this?" She asked in wonder.

"It was the Special Talent of my own Ancestor," I replied as I straightened up and folded my wings once more. "I hope you use your wishes as wisely as she did. Just be careful of the wording lest the wishes go awry." I then smirked. "So do you have an idea for your first one?"

She turned to her friend and there were rapid whispers between them before Diamond Tiara nodded. "I wish everypony had a tub of their favorite ice cream with a spoon so they can enjoy it."

My eyes widened slightly especially given I had set the spell matrix to treat the word 'everypony' as 'everyone'. There was a flash before a tub of ice cream appeared before everyone present. There was, of course, a spoon taped to the lid. "My that was quite the generous wish."

"Well thought everypony here would like some too." She replied as she picked up her tub.

"Ah, but you didn't say everypony here," I smirked snatching my tub up and opening. "You just said everypony. So every Sapient on Equus now has a tub of their favorite ice cream and the spoon to enjoy it with."

The filly froze as what I said sank in. I gave her another smile before turning to head to the other adults. Opening mine and taking a taste. Yum. It was quite literally the best ice cream I ever tasted.

"Oh, Goddess!" I couldn't help but moan as I lounged on Thunder's back, he was a very tall well-muscled stallion. Not much different from what I had seen of Applejack's brother in terms of size. As such my pony body could easily catch a ride like that. If I didn't mind the feel of his armor under me.

I was currently enjoying my tub, idly using magic to feed him his tub. The taste was such that I had only managed to keep my composure just long enough to get out off the sight of the school. My legs then gave out from the literal orgasm in my mouth resulting in my current position.

"You're really enjoying that aren't you, Princess?" He stated in amusement between bites of his own.

"My little addiction allows for two variants. Either Milk from a non-bovine mare, or cream from a stallion." I muttered softly into his ear. "My tub has both in it, and my tongue is sensitive enough for me taste everything."

"So any mare's milk could work?"

"Any but mine... But Stallions like you are both easier to find and milk." I smirked I nuzzled the back of his neck even as I took another bite and moaned again at the taste. "Though the ones as good in bed as you are really hard to find. Especially all natural like you are."

"All natural?"

"Before you, all stallions I ended up having to fuck were modified to enhance them to extreme levels." She replied softly as they passed through the streets of Ponyville toward Twilight's Castle. "Admitted back then if you had seen me on the street. You could have pushed me to a wall, pushed down any shorts I was wearing and then rutted me hard." He half-stumbled at the image and I smirked.

"And what if you hadn't wanted me to?"

"Mmmm. Wouldn't have mattered unless I had specific orders otherwise, I was considered public use when my Contract was in effect. And at the time I was under a geas that made it so I couldn't disobey nearly any order." I lightly bit his ear. "So if you had caught me back then, I would have really been your captive till you let me go."

He barely kept his wings folded at his side. "Princess you're making it very hard for me to carry you."

"Sorry," I blushed. "The semen in this is acting as an aphrodisiac for me. So I get high off it." I muttered back as I settled down once more.

"Not complaining." He said just as softly, after another bite from his tub. "Just very hard not to drag you somewhere and just rut you again." I blushed and spent the next few minutes just eating my ice cream and trying to keep the moans down. Eventually, though we were in the Castle and I pointed to where I could sense others.

"I'm not saying I'm not enjoying mine, I'm just wondering where these all came from." My Twin's voice sounded as we entered a room, with a large table surrounded by Thrones each with the corresponding Cutie Mark of the mare sitting in them. Only Rainbow Dash wasn't present as she was enjoying her time with the foals at the school.

"They are the result of a filly gaining access to a magical Amulet that grants infinite wishes. Surprised you didn't notice the magic surge just before." I spoke up as I took in the eerily familiar room.

"Dear Celestia! We are going to have to get it before something terrible happens." My alternate started to freak out slightly at the meaning of my worlds.

"TWILIGHT!" I shouted in a very firm tone causing her to freeze. "You will not attempt in any way attempt to take that amulet from that filly."

"Why not?"

"Because I gave it to her. It's perfectly safe, even if the wishes can go a bit awry due to poor wording. Nothing bad will happen as I placed hard-coded restrictions in when I made it."

"You made.."

"That surge was me making it before giving it to the filly as a reward and a test."

"Darling why give anyone, let along a filly infinite wishes?"

"She only gets one per day, and there are restrictions on what she can ask for." I then smirked. "It's not as if it hasn't happened before. After all the Twilight who walked with Rainbow Queen had that as her Special Talent. As for why? I just said it was a reward and a test."

"Which filly?" Fluttershy spoke up from her chair where she as nursing her own tub of ice cream.

"Diamond Tiara, for choosing to become a better mare than her mother is."

"And she asked for everyone in Ponyville ta get ice cream?"

"No. She asked for everypony to get ice cream. So every Sapient in Equus now has a tub of ice cream and the spoon to go with it."

"Every.. the magic needed for that..."

"Was provided by me and my Elements. Which links the Amulet to the Virtues of Harmony. And encourages good behavior in whoever has it." I had kept up feeding Thunder and as of yet had not gotten off his back. "Harmony was very amused by what I did."

Twilight finally started to relax. "So no crisis then?"

"Not this time." I then looked at the ceiling and asked. "Also could I have a lounge chair big enough for me and my new bodyguard to rest on?"

"Who are-"

The sounds of grinding were heard before a section of floor rose to become the piece of furniture I requested. "Thank you." I slipped off Thunders back before giving him a smirk and making my way to the seat.

"How the hay did you do that?"

"I didn't. I just figured since this looks like a smaller version of what I've seen before, that I might be able to ask for a seat." I settled down leaving enough room for Thunder to join me. Which he did before snatching his tub from my magic and starting to feed himself.

"So who is the Guard?"

"This hunk happens to be Thunder Charge... The Stallion that Fluttershy introduced me to. He managed to get himself assigned as my bodyguard while I'm here." At Fluttershy's look, I smiled. "And yes I cleared it with him before I started admitting he's the one who rutted me so hard." His wing slipped over my barrel as I watched them all blush. Barely containing the moan of pleasure as I had another bite. "So Sis, did you get Sea Salt ice cream?"

She nodded. "Yes I did is that what you got?"

"Not quite, I got Extra Creamy Semen Salt," I replied with a giggle.

"You're high again aren't you."

"A bit."

"And if you know any soundproofing spells I'll likely need them tonight," I commented with a blush only to pout as I noticed my tub was now empty. "So is this your War Room?"

"No, it's the Cutie Map room. Why do you ask?"

"It just reminds me of something I saw before is all," I said with a sigh before giving my twin a look. A moment later both our bodysuits became fully visible.

"Mirror!"

"Tell me, girls. If I or Twilight were to go out in public like this. What would be the reaction?"

Twilight, of course, blushed deeply while the others looked us over. Rarity was one the one who finally spoke. "Mm.. not much worse than a Wonderbolt's suit visually."

"Really? Hmm, Maybe I should put you in touch with Crystal then. You can help her design a version that doesn't need a pony to be put in a biped form to slip it on."

She paused for a moment. "May I assume that she is the one who designed the current ones?"

I nodded. "Yes, she is an expert on biped fashions, not pony ones."

"Wonderful, I would be delighted to share notes with her." She smiled brightly. "Also I managed to finish what you requested though it's still at the Boutique."

I smiled at her. "Thank you. Twilight can pick it up later. I'm giving her a bit of time off from lessons after yesterdays activities."

"Does that mean I can get out of this suit?"

"Nope," I smirked at her. "You still have a bit longer before I'll let you take it off." I actually had to suppress a laugh at the whine she let out at that. "Won't be too long since you will need to bathe and re-oil the inside after cleaning it as well. Unlike me, you still sweat."

"Thank goodness." She definitely sounded relieved before blushing. "It was embarrassing having to ask for help this morning."

"You now know where that specific zipper is. And it is one of the ones you can use your magic on."

She froze before looking at me. "Why.. why didn't you or Sunset tell me that?"

"You never asked." My twin thumped her head against the table. Much to everyone's amusement.

Getting Rarity in contact with Crystal had been a fairly simple affair. I needed to only lend her my phone, with the promise of her returning it before she left the Castle. And then have Melody set up a video conference with the two. I then, with Thunder in tow, fled the room.

I ended up curled up atop cushions, with Thunder's forearms and cannons wrapped about my barrel. A book open with pages flipping before my face, and him nuzzling my neck when not nipping at my ears. There were definite times I liked the effect my pheromones had on others. Having a big stallion curled up against me rather than standing Guard in a corner was a definite plus.

His helmet had been removed, though the rest of his armor remained in place. He was likely enjoying the fact he had an Alicorn Princess, who didn't mind having him pressed against her back, or his habit of wandering hooves. There was also the fact I had unzipped a specific zipper, pulled out a specific toy. And was snuggled up in such a way to hide the face his hard shaft was currently buried inside me.

I had forbidden him from moving his hips or thrusting, only when I shifted my hips did he have to bite back a moan. It would be not at all hard to guess I had a wicked smile on my lips the whole time. When I wasn't mercilessly teasing Thunder, I was reading. Using a variant of the spell I had used in the Royal Library, only one that skipped books I had already read copies of. I once again had a small train of books floating around.

I did glance up at the sounds of hoof steps on crystal floor, spotting a pair of mares entering the library. One had a slightly grayish coat and a main with from what I could tell two shades of purple and the rest aquamarine. However, it was the mare with her that caused my smile to drop from my face. Even with the addition of that ridiculous hat and cloak, there was no way I'd ever forget that face.

As they noticed us, I pointed a hoof at her. "Only warning, if you start that whole Great and Powerful bullshit around me I will turn you into a newt." I barely was able to keep the hostility from my voice. "And I will do so every time you utter those words around me. As long as you accept that then I can ignore your presence."

The mare in question recoiled even as the other one moved in front of her. "May I ask why you are reacting to my friend like that?"

"I assume you are my alternates former student?" I shifted my attention from Trixie to the other mare, at her nod I explained. "The last time I saw her counterpart, it was after she had her horn sliced off and was sentenced to a lifetime of hard labor as a slave on a rock farm as punishment for her crimes."

Trixie shuddered at the mention of the words 'rock farm'. "Trixie wonders just what did other Trixie do warrant that?"

My eye twitched at the mare's habit of speaking in the third person but it was a lot easier to deal with than her full ego. "Attempted murder, grievous bodily harm, and disfigurement of an Imperial Princess." I paused a moment. "In short, she tried to kill me, managed to serious wound me, and gouged out my eye."

"So she was sentenced to having her horn chopped off and became a slave on a rock farm?"

"That was actually the nicer punishment. The ponies wanted her publicly executed by slow incineration." They both turned a bit green at that. "So please for your own safety... no Great and Powerful Trixie antics around me. I will likely react before I realize your this world's Trixie and not mine."

The pair looked at each other before the mare in the hat replied. "Trixie thinks she can do that. It is, however, part of Trixie's act as a Showmare." At my arched brow. "Trixie is an entertainer, not a criminal... anymore." She admitted. "Trixie tries to keep her ego from getting away from her off the stage."

"We are both parts of the reformed villains club." The other mare spoke. "I'm Starlight Glimmer."

I sighed and leaned a bit more back against Thunder who had gone still during my little mini freak out. "You both can call me Mirror Flash. Sorry for my reaction but... Somethings still trigger flashbacks, and your friend's face happened to do so since I wasn't expecting to see her."

"And the Guard curled up to you?"

"This is Thunder, assigned to be my bodyguard and the only reason I just did not get up and attack Trixie on sight." I half murmured as I wiggled ever so slowly for a minute. "After all, he just so feels wonderful." He actually growled before biting my ear and giving a light thrust into me. I gave out a soft moan before kissing him deeply.

"Are you two.." The mares blushed as they realized just what I had meant.

"Am I getting slowly rutted while I read books?" I smirked as I looked at the pair. "That would be a definite yes." I found myself being rolled onto my stomach with him pinning me to the couch. A very hard deep thrust pushed me into the cushions. "Mmm... Seems being watched really turns him on too."

"Shut up and take it, Princess." He growled as the two blushing mares made their way out.

In fact, they were practically galloping in their need to escape their embarrassment. My moans chasing them from the Library even as I resumed my little book train. A wicked smile returning to my lips as I teased him even with this way. Thrusting my hips back against him even as I read the books, arching my back to invite more from him. I had wondered how long he'd be able to go before finally just snapping and taking over. Now I had the answer, my wings brushing up against him even as the last book went by.

My inner walls gripped at his length, juices coating it as I finally glanced back at him. "Ahhh... You know... Eventually, once she is ready... I plan to watch as you do this to my twin." The thrust I got was harder, telling me he liked that idea.

"Oh really?"

"Mmmhmm. Once she's willing to of course. Not a moment before."

I felt him flood me, stuffing me full with both cock and cum. His teeth biting into my shoulder before he growled into my ear. "Would not want her unless she wanted it."

"Same applies to my Pet. Though she knows I intend it, Twilight doesn't yet."

He chuckled before laying on me and nuzzling my mane. "So has she agreed?"

"Not yet, I'll let you know what she decides when she does."

He nodded before I felt him beginning to preen one of my wings. Well, the books were done, now to start on whatever newspapers Twilight may have stored here.

Sunset pulled her helmet off and ran fingers through her hair to straighten it before looking about as she dismounted her motorcycle. Of all the places to track her quarry to, Sunset did not expect to have ended up in a horse ranch of all things. Yet here she was in what Applejack had confirmed was considered the premier place to house your horse if you didn't have the land to do it yourself.

Dream Valley Ranch was not a place she'd expect find the Dazzlings. The place was bright, cheerful, several large clearly well-maintained stables. Even now she could see people moving about, caring for the horses, riding them, learning to ride them. And that was in the part that had buildings.

The lands that actually made up the ranch included the entire valley that it was in. Full of fields, woods, and large tracks of land ideal for horseback riding. Or even to allow the horse's chances to just run free during the warmer months of the year.

"Hello welcome to Paradis Es... Omigosh, Shimmy is that you?" Sunset started to turn only find herself half grabbed and spun to find herself face to face with Sonata Dusk dressed up as a farmhand. "Oooh, it is you!"

"Eeh... Hello, Sonata mind letting me go?"

The Siren blinked only to realize she'd been hopping down up and down excited while pulling Sunset up and down with her. "Oops... Sorry." She let go with a sheepish expression.

"I'm surprised you seem happy to see me."

"Oh more surprised than happy." She admitted. "Um, though I would avoid Dagi and Aria if you're going to be here for a while."

"So all three of you are actually here?"

"Mmhmm. We all work here."

"I'm actually glad to see you."

"Why? I mean, after everything that happened I wouldn't blame you for hating us, like at all."

"Well, Princess Twilight got some information that implied the three of you might have died after we beat you." Sunset paused as she noticed the amethyst gem hanging from Sonata's choker.

"Oh? That. Yeah, we nearly died... Till this really scary girl showed up, and I mean really really scary. Then dumped us here with a letter for Miss Williams, the nice lady that runs this place."

"I see, and that gem?"

"Hmm? Oh, this? The scary girl gave us new Hearts, cause we would have died without them."

Sunset froze for a moment at that. "So are those exactly the same?"

"Um. Sorta, still let us feed, just from... Different sources than before." The Siren blushed for some reason.

"Just what sources?"

Sonata actually went quiet for several moments before answering "Happiness and Lust." Leaving Sunset with no clue on what to think.

"Trixie cannot believe they were... Doing that right there!" The showmare was still blushing now that they had gotten far enough away so they didn't hear the moans coming from the Library anymore. They had intended to spend some time bonding over helping Trixie come up with a new twist to her act while Starlight studied a few tomes.

Starlight was also still blushing. "Me either. Though it did work in your favor."

"How?"

"She was enjoying him too much to get up and attack you during her flashback."

"Ah yes. Trixie was trying to forget how much of a monster Other Trixie sounded like." She actually reached up and caressed her horn to confirm that yes it was still there. "Trixie does not want to imagine life without her magic."

"The other punishment sounded worse." Starlight pulled her friend into a hug. "I'm just glad she was able to realize you're you and not the other one."

"Me too," Trixie admitted as she returned the hug.

"She said she was giving me a break for a bit." Twilight's voice was heard as they entered the kitchen. Only to freeze as they saw their version in the same exact suit as the other one was in.

"Yeah that just means no new stuff, you still need to practice the current stuff." Replied a visibly collared Sunset Shimmer as she put together some sandwiches. "Remember one of the main points of the lessons is so you don't go all Research Project on it."

"Um, Twilight.." Starlight started only to pause as the pair turned at her voice. "What is with the suit."

The Princess blushed. "Due to a slight mishap yesterday, I'm stuck in it until my counterpart Mirror lets me out of it."

"Technically I could let you out of it too," Sunset replied with an amused tone. "But you look too good in latex for me to want to."

"Latex?"

"It's the liquid from some plants that make up natural rubbers. Since Humans have so many different types they call this type latex rubber. Or just Latex if they want to be lazy." She then waved at the pair. "Hello I'm Sunset Shimmer and you two are?"

At Starlight's confused expression Twilight sighed. "Our time battle resulted in Sunset being twinned. One version made it here and stole my crown. You've already met her, this one though got shunted to Mirror's Equestria."

"Ah, so that's what you meant when you told her Time Travel and Portals do not mix well?"

"She told you that?"

"My Marefriend and I do not keep many secrets from each other." The bacon haired unicorn replied with a smile. "We may not tell each other everything, but we always tell each other anything that relates to the other."

"Are you aware that she is currently getting bucked by a Guard in the Library?" Starlight asks confused.

"Hmm? She has a few itches I can't properly scratch. Not to mention she wants that same Guard to rut both me and Twilight here at some point."

"WHAT?!?" Twilight gained a shocked blush as she heard that.

"You were still out of it when she mentioned in front of Celestia and Luna." She then held out one of the plates she made to Twilight. "Sandwich?"

"Trixie wonders why you seem so calm about this?"

"First she's my Mistress, I am legally her sex slave where we live," Sunset replied even as Twilight took the sandwich. "Second I've spent the last five years living in a Dimension that runs on Porn Logic. Even a year there will burn out any objections to the idea of having an open relationship. So I'd only care about my Marefriend having sex with other ponies if she lied to me about it."

"Trixie just has to hear the story behind this." The showmare moved to the table.

"Sure, either of you wants sandwiches too?"

"What are you making?"

"Daffodil and turkey bacon sandwiches." She replied with a smile. "Good taste with a very nice crunch as you chew."

"Alright, we'll try some."

Sunset smiled and started making a few more, even as she started to share the story of how she ended up Mirror's willing slave.

My eyes twitched as I stared at the headline and picture. It did not compute. To the point I slid off Thunder, pausing only to plug myself with the inflatable toy once again. A quick application of magic and I was zipped up before I teleported out of the library.

That single teleport became the start of an entire chain of me popping in and out of various rooms. Taking a second only to see if my chosen target was present or not before moving to next. I eventually found him, laying back on what was likely an extremely durable beanbag chair. A bowl of gems in arms reach, and an empty tub of ice cream next to that. There was also a bunch of comic books he was in the process of reading. The newspaper was shoved into his vision as soon as he looked up.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE CHANGLINGS? WHY DID THEY ATTACK SHINY'S WEDDING AND WHY IS HE IN A PICTURE WITH AN ALICORN VERSION OF NANNY!?!?"

He winced even as my voice caused the very walls to vibrate. I have to admit to a little guy he can sure move when he needs to. He had my mouth clamped shut with his claws around my muzzle before I could continue asking more questions.

"Twilight stop! Take a few deep breaths," He admonished with a dry expression of someone too used to what happens when any version of me loses our calm. "First things first, the Changelings with likely only a few exceptions are not a threat anymore." Cautiously he removed the claws from my mouth.

"Not a threat?"

He shook his head. "Not since my buddy Thorax became their king." He pointed to one of the pictures that decorated one wall of his room. "That's him when he still lived in the Crystal Empire." The imaged showed a black chitinous insectoid pony, limbs covered in holes. With him is the young dragon next to me, and the Barnacle latched onto his neck and gnawing on his ear. Looks like I wasn't the only one she did that too.

I couldn't help but stare at the picture in shock however as he continued to speak. "Changelings are shapeshifters who feed off of Love. Until Thorax became their King, they were ruled over by a crazy evil bitch named Chrysalis. Under her, they constantly had to steal the Love they needed. She had them invade twice, the last time, however, had her ousted as Queen when the Hive chose to follow Thorax instead."

"Did she at least get killed or imprisoned?"

"No, she managed to escape before she could be captured. So she and maybe a few loyalists are still a threat but the rest of the Changelings aren't."

He pointed at another picture showing a whole bunch of very colorful bug ponies, they were no longer covered in holes. "He figured out how to stop the constant hunger his kind were subjected to. Since then they have been much more friendly."

"And the picture?" I stabbed at the paper with a hoof.

"That's Cadence, Shining's wife."

My eye twitched as several connections were made. Any further questions were interrupted by a knock. The door opened and my alternate poked her head in. "Spike? Have you seen Mirror? I heard her using the Royal Canterlot Voice a moment ago."

"Yeah Twi, she's right here."

"Oh good I.. EEP!" I snatched her in my magic and yanked her over to us. Pulling her into a very close and very tight embrace that had my chin resting against her shoulder. She was effectively straddling my lap as my hooves slid down to press against her flanks.

"Sorry for being so loud Spike," I stated even as I enjoyed making my twin blush.

"No biggie, I get you'd be worried about what happened."

I sighed and pulled him into the hug as well. "I am curious on what kind of relationship two have other than you being her Number One Assistant."

"Twilight Sparkle, no matter how crazy she gets, has always been my big sister." He replied enjoying getting hugged by two Twilights at the same time.

"Love you too Spike." She murmured nuzzling the top of his head. "What do you think of him Mirror?"

"Not sure, I do like the adorable little bringer of flaming death," I replied after a moment drawing a chuckle from both of them. "Not sure if I love him like a brother like you do."

"Yet." She restated firmly, at my arched brow she continued. "You don't love him as a brother yet."

"You seem sure I will come to like him that much."

"He's Spike, our little brother whether you admit it or not. He's been that ever since I hatched his egg."

"You hatched his egg and you didn't end up the Mom?" I asked incredulously.

"I was four at the time, much too young to be the Mommy to a Baby Dragon. Legally he's Celestia's adopted son."

"Prince Spike sounds nice but rather ponies like me for things I did." He commented. "Being Spike the Great is better than having respect only because of who my Mom is."

"Then using Luna Logic he really is our brother then."

"Oh?" The little dragon asked looking up from the hug.

"Daybreaker, the evil Celestia, adopted me as her daughter after my birth parents died. As such Luna has declared herself my Aunt." I muttered wryly to their answering snickers. "Which means you have even more sisters you haven't met yet."

"Are they nice?"

"If they like you, then they can be very nice." I looked down at him. "Hmm... So your about twenty-four then?" I his nod I gave him a kiss on the top of his head. "Then your nearly to your next growth spurt."

"Not another greed growth I hope."

"No just entering the next stage of a dragon's lifecycle." I then giggled softly.

"You know about dragons?" He asked really perking up.

"I know that in your next life stage you will be a bit taller, and start bedding any willing females you get your claws on. At least if your anything like the dragons I've seen."

He blushed deeply. "Really?"

"Well, your instincts won't care if they are willing or not," I commented as he pulled from the hug. "Just that they are females, it will be your sense of right or wrong that will determine which ones you end up with."

"So I'll have to check myself like with my greed." He thought it over before giving a nod. "Thank you for the warning, really would not want to experience a Lust version of Greed Growth."

"That's technically a defense mechanism to allow you to protect your horde."

"I don't have one." I arched a brow at him. He then spent a few minutes explaining the whole Greed Growth Incident. "To avoid Greed growth I gave it up."

I looked at him and snickered. "No, you didn't. To a Dragon, anything they consider truly valuable is their horde." I gave him a light boop on the snout. "From the sounds of it, you decided that Rarity was more valuable than any treasure. Which means she became part of your horde. Which means Twilight and any other pony you care for are also part of your horde."

"So by protecting my friends, I'm also protecting my horde?" He then looks down at himself. "Then why am I so small?"

"One your age in dragon years, two you don't need to be big to protect them. However, I would suggest collecting treasures anyway for a secondary horde."

"Why? That only caused trouble before."

"Because at the end of a dragon lifecycle, a dragon will always devour most or if not all of their horde." I paused to let that sink in. "Given I doubt you'd want to start devouring ponies one day. Having a secondary horde you can direct that urge on would be a good idea."

"That... That would be bad."

We both pulled him into another hug as I spoke. "In ancient times there was a dragon who had three hordes. One was ponies he was friends with like you, one was books much like Twilight and I collect. The final one was filled with treasures, of the three he only ate the treasures."

"Really what was his name?"

"The Great Wizard Spike."

"Wait there was another dragon named Spike?" He looked at me in surprise.

"Mmmhmm... As I told Twilight, he even had purple scales and green frills. So I would not be surprised if you were a many times great grandson of his. Pure luck in that you ended up with the same name." I smiled. "He also lived in peace with the ponies of his time and became a wizard to help protect them. At one point he was considered very wise, and very kind."

"Wish more dragons were that way." He muttered softly. "So far only Ember is nicer, but she doesn't always get it."

"There are more. They just aren't all that easy to find most of the time." I replied with a smirk. "Tell you what if I find one I'll direct them to come visit you."

"Really?"

"I promise." I let go of him. "Now I likely need to spend time in 'Girl Talk' with my twin, I assume you want to finish your comics?"

He actually shuddered at the words 'Girl Talk' before nodding. "Yeah, that would be nice. But thanks for coming to visit even if it started with you freaking out."

"Thanks for helping calm me down." My horn lit up and I teleported both myself and my twin to another room. We were in the air a moment before we dropped onto a bed.

"Not that I'm complaining but why are we in my room?" She asked looking around once we settled.

"Our room." I corrected while nuzzling her cheek. "I decided that Sunset and I will be sleeping in bed with you for the rest of our stay."

"Do I have a choice in this?"

"Yes, but are you really going to say no?"

"Fine.."

I kissed her deeply and pushed her back onto the bed. Our tongues dancing for several minutes. Only to have an odd buzzing noise interrupt us. I sighed in annoyance even as I asked. "What is buzzing?"

Twilight, whose hooves had been caressing my flanks, responded with a blush as she glanced at her nightstand. "Sunset, the other one, messaged me?"

I followed her gaze to the book, that was not just buzzing, but also glowing and vibrating in place. I rolled to one side as Twilight retrieved the book with her magic before opening it. A look of relief passed over her features as she read it.

A few minutes earlier.

Sunset sighed as she entered her darkened dorm room. Her jacket got dropped on a hook and her helmet left on a stand as she made her way to her room. She tugged off her boots once in her room, followed by her pants. By the time she reached the bed, she was clad only in a tank top and panties. Slipping partially under the covers she snagged the Message Journal and opened it to a blank page.

Dear Princess Twilight,

I just got home after managing to track down what happened to the Sirens. They are indeed still alive, though from what Sonata told me they came very close to dying. I only actually spoke with her, since she warned me that her sisters would likely not be happy to see me. But she was able to confirm they are all currently okay.

They currently work as farmhands at Paradise Estates, which is part of Dream Valley Ranch. It's pretty much considered the place to house horses or ponies if you don't have the land to do it yourself. The place was huge and the equines there look very well cared for and clearly loved by the humans.

Thing is, those gems we destroyed during the Battle of the Bands? They weren't just foci for their magic, they were apparently required to keep them alive. According to Sonata, an extremely scary girl showed up, gave them new Hearts, what they called their gems, then dumped them at the Ranch with a letter for a 'Miss Williams' who runs the place.

Your friend,

Sunset

An arm snaked about Sunset's waist pulling her further under the covers and into a kiss with a very sleepy if a beautiful young woman. She set the book aside before wrapping her arms around her girlfriend and returning the kiss. The kiss continued for several moments in which Sunset rolled atop the other girl and had her pinned beneath her.

A buzzing from the Journal interrupted them. "Mistress you probably should answer that."

Sunset groaned even as she eyed the collar the other girl was wearing. "So tempting to ignore it."

"Could be important, we can resume playing after."

Sunset rolled off the other girl and retrieved the book. Even as Twilight rose from where she laid and snuggled up to her back. "Still can't believe how lucky I am."

Hello Sunset,

My twin is a tad bit tied up at the moment so I'll be answering for her. She was very happy to learn that the Sirens are still alive before I snatched the Journal to write this. Given the information you have provided, I think I know why they are still alive. If the first name of 'Miss Williams' happens to be Megan, then congratulations on finding the current location of the Legendary Rainbow Queen.

The Ancient Protector of Ponykind who is the only one I know of who could use the Rainbow the Elements give off at full power and not have it kill unless she wanted it to. She is most likely one of the reasons the Sirens are still alive.

Now I'm going to go back to teaching my twin how to properly kiss her Mistress, which means this Journal will be locked in a soundproofed drawer until morning. Hope you have fun and rest well.

Love,

'Mirror Flash'

"Sunny, who is Mirror Flash?"

"A version of you from a World that runs on Porn Logic. She's currently visiting Equestria and apparently decided to play with Princess Twilight." She replied with a blush as she also put her Journal into a drawer before turning to her girlfriend. "Which means she's at least as kinky as you like to be."

"I see. Well, Mistress shall we resume? After all, it's my turn to be the pampered pet tonight." Twilight replied after several moments of thinking it over.

Sunset took her wrists before pinning her on her back again. "I love hearing you call me that Pet."

"Mmm... I love hearing you call me that too when it's your turn." The other girl responded before being silenced with a very deep kiss. Sunset was very happy she had agreed to be roommates with Twilight. Even if the college classes took up most of their time.
