Trollestia pranks Princess Celestia and Princess Molestia by switching them with their respective universes.

Princess Celestia wakes up one day ready to rule the world of Equestria, same as she'd alway done. She would do it with generosity, kindness, and love for all living things. However, as her day presses on, she begins noticing the other Canterlot ponies acting extraordinarily different compared to the way they usually behaved. That included her sister, Princess Luna. Convincing herself that this had to be nothing more than a simple, harmless prank, Princess Celestia resumes her day like nothing's amiss. Meanwhile, her sister chooses to investigate further. After all, she had questions of her own. Questions like, "Why isn't her mane pink anymore? What's with the noble attitude?" And, of course, "How does she not remember playing Skyrim?!"

*Part 1 was written before I actually knew what I was doing, but has since been thoroughly edited.

Part 1: "I'm NOT joking!"

"I’m NOT joking!"

Princess Celestia sat in the library reading a book or two, but she found that they had all been changed from their original state. Instead of magic and mistakes, it was magic and molestation, among other ridiculous titles. Her Highness rolled her eyes while saying to herself, "Typical… They even went as far as to change the books just to fool me."

Celestia had never been pranked this harshly before. By now, she had accepted that Luna was the one behind all of this. Who else could it possibly be? "Probably revenge for putting her on the moon. I thought we'd be over such things! Although, why make it sound like I molest ponies? That's the only thing I can't figure out."

Just as she was putting the book away in its rightful place, Twilight Sparkle entered the room. She saw Princess Celestia and greeted her with a kind smile.

"Hello there, Princess. What’s up?"

The Princess giggled knowing there was no way Twilight would be part of this tomfoolery. "Oh, just trying to catch up on some reading. You wouldn’t believe the day I’ve been having.”

As Twilight Sparkle walked on by her Highness, she said, "Well, if I might say, your plot is looking extremely perky today."

The Princess’s jaw dropped as she said, "Not you too!"

Twilight turned to face Celestia, and said, "Not me too, what? I thought you liked me complimenting your ass?"

Hearing her student suggest something so sexual and curse put Celestia in a furious state of mind. "You watch your mouth! It’s one thing to joke around like this, but it’s another to use such language."

Twilight looked ready to cry. She had never seen the Princess lose her temper like this. As she walked up to her, she said, "But, I thought you and I… Why, I thought you liked it when I talked dirty to you!"

Princess Celestia closed her eyes, and said, "This prank is becoming a serious nuisance today. I can understand Luna getting the guards to do it. I can even accept the maids, and the butlers... However, my own pupil?"

Her eyes opened, and stared at the purple mare with annoyance. "I had expected better."

Twilight, now more hurt than any other pony could ever be started shedding tears right before the Princess. Her Highness’s face turned from anger to confusion when she saw Twilight's tears drip from her eyes.

"Fine! I guess… I guess we're through, then… If you need me, I'll… I’ll be in my room, crying my eyes out!" She choked through her sobs.

Twilight galloped away, and Celestia just stood there with a frown, baffled with what had just happened. As she decided to relax for the time being, and return to her studies, Luna came in. Celestia saw her sister, and immediately faced away, not wanting to talk to the troublesome prankster. Luna, who was becoming just as annoyed, asked, "Did you just make Twilight cry?"

Princess Celestia gave her sister her attention, and claimed, "It was an act, as I’m sure you already know. I’m not having fun right now. This is a horrible joke on your part!"

Luna sighed, and said, "You just don't understand, do you? This is NOT a joke! I’m NOT joking! If anything, it’s you that is pranking us!"

Celestia, ready to burst, said, "You know I’m not joking because you lie detected me yourself. You know I’m being serious. So why do you persist with this joke, Luna?"

Celestia’s sister face hoofed herself, and said, "Look, I know you think we’re playing a prank, but were not."

Princess Celestia got up, and said, "I’m done with this. I understand that you think this is all too funny, but to me, it’s just degrading!"

As Celestia exited the room, she said she needed to go pick up some apples from Big Macintosh who was delivering them that morning. Luna, of course, followed.

As Celestia approached the gate, she was extremely offended by the sight covering the walls. Posters of her looking furious, and words on the bottom that said obey hung everywhere. She commanded with a powerfully irritated voice to the guards to strip the walls of these posters. While they did, Big Mac approached the entrance, and was brought in by the regulator. When he saw her Highness approaching, he drew a heavy sigh, and said, "Time to just... enjoy it as best you can, Mac…" He gulped while some sweat formed on the back of his neck. "Just enjoy it."

The Princess greeted the stallion with a kind grin, and said, "Fine day, Big Mac."

Big Mac shook his fairly prepared head. "Eeyup."

The Princess walked by while Big Mac closed his eyes, and thought, "Here it comes… Huh?"

She simply raised an apple off the caravan, and proceeded with munching on it for a moment before saying, "This is simply scrumptious!"

Before she could walk off, Big Mac felt obligated to ask, "Uh, P-Princess…? Aren’t you gonna… uh… That is..." The Princess turned around, and asked what he was getting at. Big Mac gulped his fears away, and said, "Aren’t you gonna… you know… suck my cock, or something?"

The Princess, standing there feeling like a complete fool asked in a rhetorical tone, "This joke has reached all the way to Ponyville?!" She gritted her teeth from anger as she said, “I am NOT amused. This has gone on far too long!”

Poor Big Mac didn’t know what to think. He backed away slowly while apologizing. The princess calmed herself thoroughly, and said "No… No, it’s alright. I'll just be going." As she left, her eyebrow twitched from pure irritation. While she walked off to the right of Big Mac, Luna approached from the left. Big Mac looked at her, and asked, "What in Equestria has gotten into your sister today?"

Luna shook her head signaling she hadn’t a clue while saying, "I don't know, but I'm going to find out."

She continued to follow her sister closely. Once again, they found themselves in the royal library. As Luna entered, she made accusations which could be fairly justified by now.

"You are not my sister." By saying this, she caused Celestia great amounts of agitation. "You are an impostor. You're nothing more but a shadow of what ponies want, but don’t have. Cast a lie detector spell on me, and convince yourself that this isn’t a joke."

Her sister agreed, and did so.

"Now then, my dear sister," Luna said. "You originally would go about the castle molesting everypony, but now you claim you don’t! Why? This isn’t the sister I've come to know, and love. You aren’t my sister!"

Celestia, now believing this was all just a misunderstanding, said, "But, I’m not an impostor. It’s me, Luna! I don’t know what’s going on. Perhaps a brief brainstorm might help?"

Luna lowered her head, and thought hard. "Maybe… you hit your head, and just don’t remember being that way…? Or, maybe…"

Celestia’s head bobbed as she came up with an idea. "Is it possible that I could be from another universe?"

Celestia’s sister looked at her closely, and asked how that was possible. Celestia walked up to a bookshelf, grabbed one, opened it to a certain page and began to explain.

"The multiverse... or meta-universe, as many ponies tend to call it, is the hypothetical set of multiple possible universes including but not limited to the historical universe we consistently experience. It essentially comprises everything that exists and can exist, which is the entirety of space, time, matter, and energy as well as the physical laws and constants that describe them. In other words, Luna, for every possible outcome, there could be a universe where I molest everypony, and then one in which I don’t."

Celestia, putting the book back in its place, looked at her alternate universe sister only to see the most confused look on her face.

She rolled her eyes, and said, "I’m from a parallel universe and we need to get me back home. Okay?"

Luna shook her head, and said, "Oh, I see… Well, can we do it?"

Celestia smiled, and said, "It will take a lot of power, but yes, I think we can do this… Wait… If I'm here… Then… THEN… your world’s Celestia is… Oh, no… Quick! We need act NOW!”

The two sparked their horns, a bright light filled the library, and then…

Part 1: "Oh my God… Just as I suspected."

"Oh my God… Just as I suspected."

Princess Celestia was about to kiss her sister when she noticed something. Even though she had done this multiple times, she saw her sister trembling like a leaf.

"What’s with you?" She asked with concern. "You haven’t shaken this much since the first time I did this to you."

Luna gulped, and said, "I don’t know what you’re talking about. You've never acted this way."

Princess Celestia looked around the room wondering where all her obey posters were. She asked about them, and Luna claimed there were never any posters of the sort. While Celestia contemplated this, she asked, "What’s my favorite fruit?"

Luna stopped shaking so much, and said, "I thought they were apples."

"Nope!" Celestia replied. "It’s bananas!" Luna looked her sister up and down while wondering what was going on. Celestia then asked, "Do you play any video games, or for that matter, do you even know what a video game is?"

Luna claimed she was confused about these questions, and said, "What are you getting at?"

Celestia giggled, and said, "Oh my God… Just as I suspected." She then laughed even harder, as if she'd just won something huge, and blurted out, "I must be in another universe! This isn’t my world… It’s… Oh, this is too good! No wonder that maid acted so sheepish. She really never has…"

Celestia looked at Luna, who was frowning, but as the slow realization kicked in, her eyes dilated to a smaller state, her mouth smiled in a very scary way, and to top it all off, she was looking at her sister with ultimately suggestive intentions.

Luna backed away. Bumping into the wall, she asked, "W-what are you planning? I don’t like that… s-smile!"

Celestia cornered her sister, and put away the rape face knowing that it was a bit creepy.

"Oh, you don’t need to worry yourself. I think you'll enjoy this. Just answer me one thing." She placed a hoof upon Luna’s chest, and stared deep within her eyes before asking, "Have you ever experimented with… incest?"

Luna gulped while saying she hasn’t. Princess Celestia licked her sister’s neck for a moment before saying, "There’s a first for everything."

Luna, feeling embarrassed as well as scared about doing something like this asked if they could at least do this in one of their bedrooms. Celestia refused, however. "Sorry, but this is just too good of an opportunity for me to give you the chance to escape."

Luna shivered at this, and became discouraged that this would scar her for life. Celestia brought her down to the floor layng her on her back. Looking at the defenseless mare made Princess Celestia feel somewhat special.

"You know," She said with a smirk. "You look just like my sister did back in my universe when I molested her for the first time. She was so cute, and lovable."

Luna indeed appeared cute at the time, with the way she just laid there, not even trying to put up a proper fight. All she really could do was shiver, and twitch a very little bit here and there. Celestia lowered her body down and connected her lips to her sister's. Luna blushed intensely once she felt her sister’s lips on her own. Curiosity had once tempted her to try this with the original Celestia a few months back, but fear stopped her. Now, it would seem her curiosity would be satisfied.

As she felt Celestia’s tongue push its way through and into her cheeks, she couldn’t help but to close her eyes. As she felt Celestia’s tongue slither and tease her own, she thought to herself, "Do I like this...? Is it pleasurable? I don’t know."

Celestia sucked on Luna’s tongue to get it to stick out, which to Luna was the oddest sensation in the world. Celestia kept sucking on her protruding tongue as if it were a lollipop. The taste was enticing, and relaxing at the same time. When Celestia stopped, her sister raised her head to steal a kiss once more. Celestia smiled, and kissed her sister back once more. Luna felt Celestia’s pink hair, pulled away, and asked, "Why is your mane pink?"

Celestia giggled, and said, "I dyed it a few years ago, but that aside, I think it’s time we skipped the fun foreplay and got with the main event."

Celestia grabbed Luna’s horn, inevitably making Luna confused. "What are you doing?"

Celestia giggled, and rhetorically asked, "You've never tried this?"

(Clop)

Luna’s eyes widened as she realized what her sister was doing. "Oh, no… Wait a minute."

(Clop, clop)

"Ah… Please… Don’t do that!"

(Clop, clop, clop)

"Hah… Ah… Please… S-stop... AH!"

Celestia kept whacking Luna’s horn off for a minute. Soon, Luna felt the orgasmic feeling of her horn cuming. Her moans echoed in the throne room as sparkles and shimmering lights squirted from her horn only to dissipate into nothingness. Huffing from this, she said "That… Was… Good."

Celestia smiled while kissing the blue mare again. As she got up, she said, "I have a certain spell that I think you might enjoy. It’s called constant cum." Luna looked at her sister with hazy eyes, and asked what it was, but all she got as a reply was, "You’ll see."

Celestia’s horn flickered as both the mare’s bodies illuminated for a moment. Then, almost as soon as the glowing stopped, Luna felt like she was being massaged, as did Celestia. The two moaned, and panted together as the spell forced them to cum multiple times. Every single orgasm hit them at the same time, one after another. By the end of it all, the floor was soaking wet with princess spunk. Luna got up, and for reasons beyond her comprehension, thanked her alternate universe sister for molesting her.

Celestia smiled, and said, "Anytime. Once I return to my world, I’ll be sure to learn how to travel to this one in order to molest you again."

Luna blinked, and said, "So… To the library?"

Celestia nodded, and the two left the throne room. As they entered the library, Celestia pulled a book out, and said, "Here we go. To transport to other worlds or universes, it will require the aid of two unicorns, or two alicorns. It really doesn't matter. Also, a lot of magic. So, if we combine our power, we should be able to do this rather easily."

Celestia and Luna touched the tip of each other’s horns, and a bright light was illuminated in the room as the two prepared to teleport to Celestia’s original universe, and then…

Part 1: "Problem?"

"Problem?"

The kind hearted Celestia and the alternative universe Luna were just about to teleport to the original world of Equestria when a blistering light appeared only a few feet away from where they stood. The glow was blue and pink in color, and shined in circles as Princess Celestia and Princess Luna appeared before none other than Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Confusion entered as the two appeared, huffing. The pink maned Celestia looked at Luna who was standing next to her, and said, "Well... Apparently, we did it."

Luna collapsed to the floor, and said, "Yep. We made it to your world."

The pink maned Celestia said, "Well, yeah, there's that... and I made you have another orgasm!"

Luna rolled her eyes at this, and saw her real sister standing next to the very pony that could've easily fooled her into thinking that she were staring into a mirror. Getting to her hooves, she said, "Well, this will get confusing in a hurry."

The original Celestia walked up to the original Luna, and asked, "Luna? Is that you?"

Luna, knowing this was her real sister gave her a hug while saying, "Yes, it’s me. The same, confused Luna from home."

Pink haired Celestia then made a recommendation. "How about we give each other titles? You know, as a form of differentiation. I’ll be… Molestia! Because I love molesting everypony, while you," she said while pointing at her kinder counterpart. "I suppose we should just call you Celestia. As for my Luna, she can be Gamer Luna!"

Gamer Luna smiled, and said, "That might work. Now, what in Equestria is going on?"

Just as she asked this, yet another portal from another world popped into the room. It spat out some sort of device with a hole on the top. Some sort of screen showed up above it, and a mare that resembled Celestia showed herself, but she had a very distinct trait about her. Her coat was pink.

"Hello… I-is this thingy on?" the mare asked. "Oh, it is… Alright, were on! See, Lulu? I told you it would work… Alright, listen up. You... all of you, just got trolled!"

Celestia and Molestia looked at one another in confusion, and asked their question at the same time.

"What does trolled mean?"

Gamer Luna laughed at this, and said, "A troll is somepony who pranks you either in real life or on the web. I wouldn’t expect Celestia to know what the internet is, but Molly, why haven’t I told you about them yet?"

The pink coated Celestia on the huge screen then cleared her throat in order to win back everypony's attention. "Ahem! Since you all named your counterparts, I guess I should name myself… Let’s see… Oh, I know! You may call me Trollestia! In my world, pranks and pissing ponies off is what I do best! Now, let me explain what I did to all of you. One fine day, I found myself to be rather bored with the normal mischief I usually cause in my world, and I was running out of ideas. At first, I thought, meh, I’ll just prank my sister again. That's when I had an idea. What if there were alternate universe versions of myself? I researched it for a while, and wound up finding a spell that could literally swap two different ponies for their respective universes. I practiced this for weeks, but eventually, I got the hang of it. I chose to swap the kind hearted Celestia and the molesting anything that moves Celestia as one BIG joke. While you two went about your silly ways, I just sat back, watched and laughed my bucking ass off! Why, I went through three bags of popcorn within the first hour!"

Celestia gritted her teeth in pure rage as she realized this was all one big, stupid prank. "So you like jokes, huh?" She asked through her teeth. "Just wait till I get my hooves on you."

Trollestia smiled, and asked, "Problem?"

Celestia raised her eyebrow knowing this was entertaining her. "You have no idea!"

Trollestia giggled under her breath as she asked, "You mad, pony?"

This pushed Celestia overboard as she fired a shot of magic at the device, causing it to explode. Huffing from her anger, she said, "This is NOT FUNNY!"

Another similar device showed up, and music started playing as Trollestia danced in the back ground.

Once the music finally stopped, the original Luna asked, "So, you’re going to put us back, right?"

Trollestia, fixing the camera on the screen said, "Well, actually… There we go! Uh… Nope! I’ve hotwired every little teleport location to take you two to a different universe rather than your actual home. So, in short, you two will actually be teleporting for a good while before finally reaching your home universe. On that note… I think I’ll enjoy watching you two be pissed off. Oh, by the way. Celestia?"

Celestia forced herself to ask, "What?" She spoke in an extremely annoyed tone of voice.

Trollestia smirked, and said, "Molestia molested your sister."

With that said, the device teleported out of the room, leaving Celestia furious. She looked at her other self with maddening rage in her eyes.

"You… M-m-molested… my s-sister…"

Her anger was about to explode as the original and Gamer Luna pleaded her not to hurt Molestia, but unfortunately for Molestia, Celestia didn’t hear it. Her horn flickered with a radiance that indicated a horrible spell was going to be fired. "You want to act like a child… Then you get to BE a child!"

The white beam of energy hit Molestia, and hard, causing a dense mist all around the mare. When the mist cleared, the two Luna’s stared at Molestia with gaping eyes and mouths down as far as they would go.

"What?" Molestia asked in puzzlement. "What did she do to me?" Her voice was squeakier now, for her body had took the form of a filly. She had been transformed into a young, childish kid.

As she looked at her body, she began to cry. "Oh, no… I’m… I’m… a filly?! You turned me into a filly?"

Both Luna’s, and Celestia began to giggle, and barreled over with laughter as the young Molestia pouted. Celestia got up, and said, "This will be your punishment. The spell will wear off in about a week. Until then, your sister can take care of you. As for me and my sister, we will be leaving now to return to our world. Also, if I ever see you in my world again, I’ll be sure to make you into something far worse than a filly! I’m so, very much on edge. I can barely concentrate on what’s going on. But in any case, Luna…"

The original Luna walked up to Celestia, and said, "I’m ready."

As their horns shimmered, a circle of power surrounded them, and with a sudden flash taking up practically the whole library, they were gone.

Filly Celestia crossed her hooves, and exclaimed, "The fuck, dudes?!"

Part 1: "We… kind of got separated, I think…"

"We… kind of got separated, I think…"

In a parallel universe version of the royal Canterlot library, Princess Twilight Sparkle sat at a desk reading up on some spells when a round light shined in front of her, making her curious as to what it could possibly be. Once it stopped, she saw it to be her deceased mentor, Celestia.

"Well… I guess that didn’t bring us home exactly," Celestia said in an annoyed tone. She looked around only to find Luna had disappeared. When she noticed an alicorn Twilight taking up space in the room, her jaw dropped. "What… How did you?"

Twilight jumped over the desk and landed in front of the Princess while asking, "How is this possible? You’re supposed to be dead!"

Celestia, jolted by this statement, asked "What do you mean, dead?!"

Twilight began to explain. "You were the Princess that ruled Equestria with love and compassion. At least, that was for a good, long while. You... became upset, and turned into a tyrant. Ponies even began calling you Daybreaker. So, as your student and successor, I overthrew you. I’ve missed you so much, and what's more, I don’t sense the evil in your heart anymore. You look so different, too. I’m so confused."

Celestia frowned, and explained the ordeal that was happening at the moment. Once she finished, Twilight smiled, and asked, "Where’s Luna?"

Celestia thought for a moment, and said, "We… kind of got separated, I think…"

Twilight looked the Princess up and down with a curvy smile. "You know…" She said as she began circling the white alicorn. "Before your demise, you taught me something. It was a very valuable lesson."

Celestia asked what that lesson was, and got her reply from Princess Twilight's almighty horn. Her Highness chose a numbing spell, and just like that, Celestia fell to the floor with a thud. Twilight stood over her while saying, "I was taught that if you get the opportunity, take advantage of it! In this universe, you could say that I’ve become like that Molestia you mentioned earlier... Lust… Greed… It’s all in me. I think, once I’m finished with you, I’ll go ahead and travel to Molestia’s universe for some enjoyment of my own!"

As soon as Celestia felt Twilight’s tongue on her shoulder, she tried to cast a spell to force push the alicorn rapist away from her, but ultimately made her horn an oversized sparkler. Twilight giggled, and said, "Sorry, but that numbing spell cancels out magic as well. You’re in my world now. This... will be delightful!"

Slowly inching in-between Celestia's legs, Twilight teasingly rubbed her tongue across the Princess’s stomach, making Celestia moan while trying to speak. The numbing spell disabled her from crying out for help or even being able to talk. Twilight leisurely took her time eating her Highness out for a few minutes before finally summoning a double dildo strap on. Celestia’s eyes grew wide as she realized she was trapped. Meanwhile, Alicorn Twilight merrily giggled at the expression on Princess Celestia’s face.

"You look so worried, like this won’t be enjoyable or something. Trust me, Princess. You’re going to love this!"

the strap on slid nicely between the lips of Twilight’s pussy. As it came closer to the Princess's, she closed her eyes and felt it tenderly invade. Celestia was able to give a very small moan from this, but it’s all the noise she could make. While Twilight simply enjoyed her time with Celestia, her captive tried to move away, but just couldn’t. The feeling of being molested by the alicorn form of Twilight was humiliating, but somehow, erotic. Soon, endorphins kicked in, causing Celestia to mentally relax a bit, however it was not as if Celestia didn't hate this.

Twilight wrapped her wings around the Princess to comfort her, while saying, "I told you it wouldn’t be that bad. See, you did… Well, I guess you could call her Tyrestia. Short for Tyrant Celestia. She did this to me all the time, so consider it payback for her raping me!"

As ridiculous as the reason was, Celestia tried her best to ignore how ignorant Twilight was being. The multiverse theory clearly stated that any universe could exist. Anything Celestia could think of and more happened in a different universe, which made this situation understandable, but still very embarrassing. As Twilight moaned, the Princess just tried to tell herself to breath. The nervous feeling of not being able to move was getting to her. This was all Trollestia’s fault. If she came across that good for nothing, lousy excuse for a mare face to face, she would take her revenge, and it would be in the most torturous way possible, even if it wasn’t dignified or reasonable.

Twilight, smiling at Celestia while claimed, "You know... I’ve… Always loved you!" She panted, and resumed, "Even when… you were mad at me… I still… Oh… I still would do… Anything to try to p-please you. Yet, all you did was laugh at my mistakes! It didn't start out this way, but over the years, you got worse and worse!"

Celestia wanted to say sorry even though it really wasn’t her that caused this Twilight any harm herself.

"When you gave me..." Twilight continued. "Do you remember? Or, has that even happened yet in your universe? Time can even be distorted in the multiverse, but anyways, you gave me these alicorn wings, and dubbed me a Princess of Friendship… I was so happy, but right after that, I had to… I had to…" Tears dripped from her face as she remembered the day she led a revolution to Canterlot in order to overthrow her highness. "I’m sorry... I’m so sorry."

Celestia looked at Twilight with sympathy in her eyes. If she could speak, she would forgive her. The pace of Twilight’s humps sped up as she started to pull back the tears. Her moans became louder as she began to orgasm with the Princess.

Minuter later, the two remained there, huffing and panting together. Celestia, still not being able to move, felt Twilight hug her, and whisper into her ear, "I’ll send you to the universe of your sister. I think I have a pin point of her location, and which universe she's in. Once again, I’m sorry for this… All of it, but you have to understand that… Well… you know."

With this, Celestia felt warmth coming from Twilight's illuminated horn. "The book might have said it requires the aid of two unicorn’s or alicorn’s, but what I did that day… When I took over, I also stole all your magic power. That’s why this numbing spell is so powerful, and don't worry, because it'll wear off once you get to the other universe. I have enough energy to send you to Luna… That’s about it. Once more… I’m sorry."

As Celestia disappeared from this world, alicorn Twilight sobbed at the deed she had just committed. What had gotten into her head that possessed her to perform such heinous acts of cruelty? Would she ever feel the same way again?

Celestia may be asking herself these questions for a long time, never receiving the answers.

Part 1: "Come meet our stallion counterparts!"

"Come meet our stallion counterparts!"

Celestia appeared in the library of a different universe, looked around, and saw she was completely alone. Standing up to find the numbing spell was slowly but surely wearing off, she said to herself, "Oh… OH! That little witch! How dare she! I can hardly believe that if my own student had to overthrow me, and take control of the kingdom, she would become a tyrant as well!"

Stretching her back to get the feeling back into her spine once more, she thought about everything that had transpired. She would never be sure of it, but then, she knew with magic comes the utilization of certain characteristics of said magic. It was possible that alicorn Twilight absorbed not only the power of her mentor and once loved one, but also her tyrannical traits as well.

She left the library to go find her lost sister only to see the halls were very different from the way they looked in all the other worlds. The carpet for example had small, though exquisitely designed holes, and the walls were emblazoned with racks of heavy swords, amongst other brutal weaponry. It all seemed more masculine to the Princess.

The more she approached the throne room, or what she believed to be a throne room, she heard deep and booming voices of stallions laughing, and partying. As she got to the door, she saw it to be wooded rather than gold, and a single opener instead of double doors. She pushed it opened, and saw two huge, square table resting inside with at least fifty or so stallions sitting around it. They all were busy with eating, drinking, and having a grand old time. They all had beards, and some had mustaches. A lot of them had rough chest hair, but the only mare Celestia saw in the room was her sister sitting in the middle of the square. The last rows of tables were gone to revile the throne, and this world’s ruler. Celestia thought it rather typical of Luna to fit right in with the chaotic bunch.

As Celestia approached the benches, she heard her sister telling a story of when she battled a Jabberwocky. They were dragon like beings but much bigger. Because of their horrible ways of pillaging and destruction, Celestia and Luna found it necessary to extinguish them, a task they wish they didn’t need to do, but had to if they so wished to protect the kingdom at the time. Luna finished her story, and then saw her sister.

"Oh, Celestia!" Luna beckoned her sister to join them. "Come meet our stallion counterparts!"

As soon as Celestia heard this, she noticed two Lords sitting side by side. One looked like Luna. That was the one to the left, and the one to the right looked like Celestia.

Lord Nocturne

Luna scooted herself next to her counterpart to allow Celestia room to fit. She leaped over the table with grace and lowered herself to sit with the stallion version of herself. He looked at her with a friendly smile, and said, "Hello… My name is Lord Solaris, guardian, and savior of the land of Equestrius. Allow me to introduce my brother, Lord Nocturne."

He gestured to the stallion sitting next to Luna who had some bits of hey in his mouth. He swallowed it rather quickly, reached over the table to get a better view of the Princess, and said, "A pleasure to meet you, and your sister, of course. If I might say, what a grand representation of myself as a mare... I never would have guessed this to happen! Parallel universes in which most every possible outcome could happen in over a thousand different worlds. It’s simply head spinning!"

Lord Solaris got the Celestia's and Luna's attention by saying, "Luna has told us all about your adventure up till this point, and I must say, I’ve heard tales of bravery... I've even heard tales of extensive heroism, but this one is more than that! This one is just… It's down right hilarious!"

He began laughing aloud. Eventually, Celestia and Luna laughed along knowing he was right. The Lords and Princesses ate with each other in peace while leisurely talking and describing their worlds, and what they did there. It turned out that Lord Solaris and Nocturne’s world was just a little more chaotic than theirs. What should one expect, however, when the ruler was a stallion who could be benevolent one second, and merciless when he needed to be? Lord Solaris explained that things weren’t always easy for them in the vast and ever expanding land of Equestrius, and that they had learned a thing or two about alternate universes themselves that the Princesses would probably gain from know about.

"Now, for starters…." Solaris began. "Never change the course of a world. Leave it exactly the way it is, because otherwise, you may be damaging it unintentionally. Second, don’t assume something until you know for sure it’s true. For example, let’s say you find yourself in a world where it seems to be destroyed. One should never make immediate assumptions... I understand you must use a lot of energy to teleport from world to world, too. There’s why you and your sister got separated! Luna hadn’t enough power to match your own, and was sent here, and you were sent some universe elsewhere… By the way, where did you end up at?"

Celestia gulped some bits of food down as she recalled the alicorn Twilight she had just met, and what had happened to her. She said in a nervous tone, "Oh, I wound up finding somepony that helped me reunite with my sister. That’s all…"

Lord Nocturne chuckled, and said, "Well, lucky you. Who was it?"

Princess Celestia didn’t want to tell them about it, and Luna could tell by her blushing cheeks, so to save her sister from embarrassment, Luna interjected by saying, "Actually, forget about that for now! It’s late, and we actually need a room to stay in for the night."

Lord Nocturne smiled at Luna, and said, "You may have our quarters, your Highnesses."

Lord Solaris agreed with the notion, and said, "It’s only fitting you two receive the best during your visit. Besides, what kind rulers would we be if we gave you one of the feeble, rundown rooms? No! You deserve your privacy in luxury."

The throne room, more like a dining room than anything, emptied slowly as the Princesses and Lords began venturing to their chambers. Upon entering, Celestia found it to be just like her room only colored differently. Not as pink, but more sunset red. The lord said, "You may take my bed. I can sleep on the balcony, it’s what I usually do lately, anyway… Don’t ask why, please."

Meanwhile, in Lord Nocturne’s room, Luna hopped on the bed while saying, "Ah… That’s comfy… Where are you going to sleep?"

Nocturne giggled and claimed, "I stay up during the night… Don’t you?"

Luna blushed while saying, "I… Usually do, but I need my rest to regenerate my energy."

Nocturne gave Luna a kind smile, and said, "Then you go ahead and rest; you need it so you may be ready by tomorrow to travel."

As the two mares slept that night, Lord Solaris and Lord Nocturne watched the night sky with observant eyes. Eventually, Nocturne’s brother fell asleep, as did the Princesses.

Part 1: "Guards! Take her to my chambers."

"Guards! Take her to my chambers."

Lord Solaris awoke, unable to shake his troublesome fears away. Exiting his room, and being careful as to not wake Celestia, he saw his brother walking down the narrow halls. He appeared to be headed for the Canterlot garden. Joining his brother as he sat staring up at his crescent moon, Solaris said, "Seems like yet another peaceful night, doesn't it."

Nocturne smiled, and agreed. "If only there wasn’t that preemptive attack looming, in which we know is almost sure to come."

Solaris lowered his head while saying, "We need to be careful considering the Princesses are here. Don’t try any funny business with them. Got it?"

Nocturne sighed, and said, "Was it that obvious that I found my mare-self just a little... attractive?"

Solaris chuckled, and claimed, "Don't be discouraged, my friend. I too was amazed at how genuinely gorgeous Celestia looked while she entered the throne room, but we must not be tempted to try anything. They are royal blooded Princesses, and no matter how you look at things, you could call them our sisters. As royal steeds, we don’t indulge in such acts of borderline incest."

Nocturne smiled, and asked, "So, how bad was I blushing?"

Solaris stared at his brother, and said, "Considering your face is blue, I wouldn’t be surprised if Luna noticed how red your face was during diner as well as everyone." Nocturne laughed as his brother continued. "You looked like a tomato with blotches of blue paint!"

Nocturne cleared his throat after laughing so hard, and said, "Alright… Fair enough… You made your point."

The two brothers sat with green pedals of leaves gently gliding passed them. Solaris, now becoming more serious said, "Tomorrow, we must send the Princess’s packing with no delay… If the invasion of Canterlot occurs while they’re here, they will be obligated to help fight. We cannot allow them to fight this battle with us. If they do, it could cause disharmony in the course of history within our universe… I can only pray that the attack of our enemies doesn’t ever occur, and that this whole situation blows over smoothly enough. Although, considering everything that's happened in these last few months, I know the chances of this happening are slim…"

Mourning came, and instead of Celestia waking up to the sounds of birds chirping just outside her balcony, she instead was forced to fall out of bed due to the sounds of battle cries. Her sister was soon barging into the room, yelling, "Celestia, come on! Time to wake up! We have to go, now!"

Celestia got up and out of bed, still asking what was happening. "Please, my sister... Answer me!"

"I don’t know, but it looks like some sort of invasion."

The two headed to the Canterlot entrance, and exited the palace only to find soldiers fighting thousands of changelings outside. King Chrysalis was attacking. Celestia saw Lord Solaris and Lord Nocturne battling to the left. As the sisters galloped to the Lords, they asked what they could do to help, but Solaris said, "All you can do to help us right now is to get out of this world!"

The two looked at each other, contemplating whether or not they should obey this order. Just before a giant flaming cannon ball hit the two Princesses, Lord Solaris stopped it with his magic, and threw it back, but with great amounts of difficulty.

"Please," Nocturne begged. "You must go! This is no place for you. This fight is ours. All you’re going to do if you fight is change the course of this universe. Whatever happens is caused by a force that is beyond anypony's comprehension. You must leave at once, Princesses!"

With this, the two sisters agreed to follow command, and teleported out of Equestrius as fast as they could, never knowing for sure if the Lords would survive the invasion or not.

Meanwhile, in another universe, Trixie sat on her throne as the most powerful alicorn in all of Equestria. Her pet bird, which she stole from a defeated version of Celestia stayed chained close by her side. Enjoying herself a bit too much, the mare looked around the throne room, and said to one of the guards, "Trixie oh, so does love it here… Her coming of power has been nothing short of a glorious thing! Has it not? This is Trixie's great and powerful kingdom now, and she believes that is how it will stay for a very long time."

Suddenly, before her eyes appeared the device owned by Trollestia. The pink coated mare appeared behind the fuzzy screen, and said, "Hello? Ah, there you are… Trixie! Baby! I've got a proposition for you."

Trixie filed her hoof nails while she listened. "You have the Great and Powerful Trixie's attention."

"Listen, how would you like to have... the Twilight Sparkle as your personal sex slave?"

Trixie's laughter echoed throughout the throne room. She calmed down, however, and said, "You know good and well that Twilight is being heavily guarded by those Princesses in the ruins of old Canterlot! There’s no way Trixie's getting anywhere near her so long as that's the situation, even despite Trixie now being an alicorn princess."

Trollestia smirked, and said, "Not that Twilight… I’m talking about an alternate universe Twilight Sparkle that's similar in all ways to your world’s Twilight Sparkle."

Trixie asked, "How could that even be possible? You couldn’t do such a thing… Could you?"

Back inside the original Canterlot; guards and civilians alike desperately searched everywhere for their beloved Princesses. The sun hadn't set for a very long time, and what’s worse is the fact that it still took the form of a throbbing penis. Twilight was in the throne room preoccupied with searching for clues regarding Celestia's and Luna's whereabouts. That's when a bright, pink light circled around her. She was caught off guard, and before Twilight even knew it, she was gone from her world in a radiant flash.

Shortly following a rather impressive light show, Trixie looked to the right of the screen to see Twilight appearing before her looking thoroughly hoodwinked.

"There you are," Trollestia said in a confident voice. "One Twilight Sparkle, fresh from an alternate universe and ready for your abuse. I’ll be going now. You have me and my henchmare sister to thank for this most marvelous of gifts."

Trixie smiled, and said, "Trixie just loves it when she get whatever she wants. Trixie asks for power, and she gets power. She asks for the throne, and what happens? She take the throne! She asks for alicorn wings, and she receives alicorn wings... Trixie didn’t even need to ask for you, Twilight Sparkle, and she's gotten what she wanted anyways!”

Twilight just stood there, baffled and confused. "What’s going on, and where’s Princess Celestia and Princess Luna? Why are you on their throne? H-how did you get wings?!"

Trixie giggled, and shot a magic spell at Twilight which disabled her magic for as long as Trixie deemed fit.

Trixie smirked, and said, "Oh, the Princesses are currently in another castle. I’ll explain later… But, for now... Guards! Take her to my chambers.”

As Twilight was dragged off, Trixie’s maniacal laughter echoed through the entire castle. Twilight simply couldn’t piece together what had justly happened to her. Was this a prank? Was it all just a bad dream? She would find out after Trixie was finished with her devious fun.

Part 1: "You don’t have what it takes to destroy me!"

"You don’t have what it takes to destroy me!"

On a desolate floating rock, flat on top, but spiky and sharp on the bottom, Princess Celestia and her sister appeared in a puff of light and smoke. As they looked around in awe of the sight they were observing, Celestia asked, "What… could've possibly have happened here?"

A barren waste wonderland of unimaginable devastation surrounded them. Rocks, just like the one they stood on levitated above a thick fog that was about a mile below their safe platforms. Nothing in sight but the floating islands surrounded the two. Above, the sun illuminated one side of the sky, while the moon blacked out the other half showing the night time stars. Celestia and Luna gazed at this world in curiosity.

After a good minute or two had gone by, Luna finally turned to her sister, and asked, "What do you think? Could it have been nuclear fallout, or something else?"

Celestia shook her head as she claimed she had no idea. The sisters tried to figure out what happened to the world with little success. "The floating islands…" Celestia offered. "Could they be held a float due to the strange positioning of the moon and the sun? But then, what is that green smoke on the bottom?"

Luna sent a beacon spell falling down to see how far it would go. As it continued to flash blue through the mist, Celestia gulped when they couldn’t hear or see it anymore. The beacon seemed to fall for eternity.

"No bottom…" Luna said with worry. "What does this mean?"

Suddenly, a dark presence was felt from behind the two alicorns. They simultaneously did a one-eighty to view the horrible owner of this world. Dark armor surrounded the beast as she glided down to the royal sisters. Blood red rage shined in her eyes. The being landed on the same island as the two sisters resided on, and stared at them menacingly. The being was the very nightmare that plagued Luna’s fears and dreams. It was all thanks to hatred, and fear overtaking her mind.

Now, Nightmare Moon stood before the two royal sisters with a blue, dreadful aura encircling her being. She seemed just about ready to strike, too.

Luna backed away in sheer terror of the mare. Nightmare Moon, angered beyond all belief asked forwardly, "Why has the dead come back to life, and more importantly, why is this WEAK form of myself stand before me? Does she not know who I am? Or a better question... What I am?"

The mare’s mane swirled in a rhythmic motion as she ruffled the ground with her hooves, just waiting for one of them to try and strike first.

Celestia turned to her frightened sister and told her to run. As she did, Nightmare Moon leaped after her, but was shot down by Celestia’s magic. As she landed on her hooves and watched Luna fly away, she couldn’t help but scream in anger. Princess Celestia then demanded to know what befell this world.

"What? You don’t know…? Hmm… Oh, I see… You’re not from this world. Or should I say, universe… This universe was taken by me when the elements of harmony gave into temptations. One by one, I separated them, causing the six mares to split up! When Twilight Sparkle stood up to me, I struck her down with a furious blow! The sight of your dead, lifeless student laying in the tiled floor made you lose your temper and try to attack me, all I vain. I was way too powerful then, and I am way too powerful NOW! You will die once again by my HOOVES!"

As Nightmare Moon laughed with pure corruption in her voice, Celestia felt a tear slowly slide down her face and drip onto the hard rock surface of the floating island. Despite her not wanting to change this world because of what Lord Solaris and Lord nocturne warned her and Luna about, this was too much for her to handle. Slowly spreading her wings with a bowed head and lifting into the sky, she claimed, "This is not your world’s Celestia… I am the Princess of the Sun. I will not let these crimes go unpunished! You think you can just do whatever you want? Even if you’re… m-my own sister, I will take you down if I have to… I WILL make you pay for YOUR SINS!"

Celestia’s horn fired round after round of magic at the beast only for them to just barely miss her. Nightmare Moon took off spreading her wings as she flew, returning fire all the way. Celestia chased after her alternate sister in anger and frustration. Nightmare Moon turned to face Celestia and sent a dark blue aura of power at the mare only for Celestia to use all her might into one blow. The blue mare did the same when she realized she was going to lose this fight. Pushing everything onto this attack was all she could do. As the chaotic fight continued in the sky, the sun began to move with great speed towards the moon and vise verse. Slowly, they touched, and the sun crushed the moon under its intense heat. Crumbled shards of the once glorious, and white orb surrounded the sun, and shined with rays bouncing off the pieces.

Celestia broke through Nightmare Moon's attack and sent her falling to one of the island down below. As she hit the rough ground, dust surrounded her. She stayed there, motionless. Celestia glided down with some sweat falling from her forehead. Her horn radiated once again as Nightmare Moon raised her sore head to gaze at her parallel sister.

"You wouldn’t… You couldn’t!" The blue mare argued. "You don’t have what it takes to destroy me!"

Celestia looked down at her sister. Knowing she had won, she explained, "What do you plan to do? Attack me with what little power you have left? One blow… One single shot can end you… You didn’t hesitate to hurt Twilight…" Her anger reached its peak, something that doesn’t happen regularly. She then screamed in a dramatically agitated voice, "WHY SHOULD I HESITATE NOW?!"

Nightmare Moon attempted to stand, only to feel a sharp pain in her side. As she collapsed, she said, "This isn’t over. I will not lose… to a weakling like yourself!"

Celestia put away the light show her horn was displaying, and said, "You’ve already lost. Throw hope aside for a moment, and try to think about the lives you’ve taken… The ponies you’ve hurt, and the sister that you murdered… Your moon, and all its glory is gone. You’ve lost your ability to fight onward. Your day… Has come… Luna."

As Celestia finished, Nightmare Moon’s armor withered away into nothingness, and dust. As the ashes were blown away to show a frightened and scared form of Luna, Celestia said, "You have much to think about in such short time… Now, you will see the error of your ways."

Luna sobbed for once as she accepted her punishment. In less than ten minutes, her life would end because of the moon that was no longer existent. Celestia turned around giving the whimpering mare little sympathy and began to walk off.

The words that Celestia would here would still echo in her mind for years to come.

"Please!" Luna begged. "Please… I’m sorry for what I did… Truly, I am."

Celestia once again felt a tear, but this time, she whipped it away as she said, "Sorry isn't going to bring back the lives you’ve taken… It's your fault that your death occurs this day… I’m sorry it has to be like this."

The final plea came hard. It hurt Celestia’s ears hearing it.

"PLEASE!!!"

Despite all she did to this world, and although she deserved no such sympathy from Celestia, the graceful mare turned, and said, "If I help you this one time, will you do your best to at least try to return this world to its earlier form?"

Luna answer was a nod of the head. With this promise from Luna secured, Celestia summoned the original Luna to their location, and instructed her to help create a new moon for this world’s Luna. The original Luna, seeing her sobbing alternate-self, agreed openly with no complaints. Luna knew that she had changed, and was actually sorry for the deeds she has done throughout the years.

The two shined their horns brightly as they attempted something they had never considered before. Two distinct beams of white and blue light could be seen for miles as a brand new moon was created. It slowly took form in orb shape, and grew with size. Finally, it resembled the same moon that was once floating perfectly above the world only minutes ago.

Celestia collapsed to the ground while being on the verge of hyperventilation. Shortly after, Luna lowered herself as well, and they rested there, overly exhausted. As the two huffed, this world’s Luna cried. She walked up to the two in order to begin apologizing. Celestia brought her hoof down to the child-like Luna to bring her closer for a tender hug. It represented the acceptance of the apology.

The two mares were worn out, and wouldn’t be able to travel to another universe for a good while, but they did succeed in changing the destroyed world, whether it was for better or for worse.

Part 1: "What do you plan on doing to me?"

"What do you plan on doing to me?"

Twilight paced the room looking for a possible way to escape. It was Princess Celestia’s quarters, but it had been drastically altered. Trixie’s pictures hung on walls and knick knacks of magic uselessness decorated the counters. The bed looked the same, though, so finding no way to escape and the door being magically barred, Twilight sat down to calm her nerves, and waited for the tyrant.

As she laid in the dim atmosphere, she heard Trixie’s muffled voice approaching from outside. As the door opened, she saw the show mare enter while telling one of her guards, "Don’t let anypony disturb Trixie. She will inform you vie mental spell that she has finished."

As Trixie closed the door, and sighed. Twilight felt cold, even though her host was fair with the temperature. Putting up her cape and hat, Twilight noticed Trixie’s hair to be smoother than ever, probably due to the extravagant experience of living in Canterlot.

"Trixie... would apologize…" Trixie said. "If she felt sympathetic, but then, she doesn't think somepony of your stature deserves the privilege of receiving such a gift."

Twilight gulped, and asked, "What do you plan on doing to me?"

Trixie, who was headed to a work bench, sat down, and levitated a quill to write something. She seemed to simply ignore Twilight’s question. Once she was finished, she turned around, and said, "Would you like to know what’s going on?"

Twilight claimed she would, making Trixie smile. "Then you’ll find out! Later, though."

Trixie stepped away from her parchment, and faced Twilight. "See, when you came to town, you humiliated Trixie… And then..."

Twilight interrupted by saying, "And then you went to Las Pegasus… Right?"

Trixie laughed, and said, "In your universe, maybe, but in this universe, Trixie stayed in Ponyville with nowhere else to go… The ponies all taunted her. They stared at Trixie day after day with unforgiving eyes, and just… It was your ENITIRE fault! I was… was the Great and Powerful Trixie… But now, It's Princess Trixie… She still wanted revenge, too… See, that’s why you’re here. You may not be the same Twilight from this world, but you still caused me pain and embarrassment in another world, right? So, you will have to do."

Twilight was about as lost as she could ever be. "An alternate universe… You being an alicorn… Is this another universe?"

Trixie rolled her eyes, and said, "Yes… Now then, if you don’t mind, and as if Trixie cares if you do…"

Trixie wrapped her hooves around Twilight, and gently brought her down to lie on her back. She kept standing above the defenseless, purple mare, and brought her head down to sniff Twilight’s hair. "You even smell like her… You're almost just like her in every way."

As Trixie stared deep within Twilight’s eyes, she saw the same look her world’s Twilight give her; The look of longing and lust. Twilight figured her world's Trixie had feelings for her all along, and it wasn’t surprising that this universe’s Trixie felt the same way, so Twilight made a quick decision that might save her from a more torturous time with the show mare. Her head rose to meet lips with the alicorn. While they kissed, Trixie’s eyebrows rose in astonishment. She'd never seed this side of Twilight before, mainly because Twilight had always hid her feelings.

As their lips parted, Twilight said, "You know… There was actually... two reasons for me hiding my power from you… The first was because I didn’t want to show off, but the second… was because… Well, you looked so cute performing, and enjoying yourself. When I saw you, I knew you weren’t that amazing. I knew you just did what you could to make it seem like you were talented with magic. I thought that was the most adorable thing... I always… I always had a slight, secret crush on you ever since, but I was too afraid to admit it."

Trixie grinned at the mare while soothingly moving some of Twilight’s hair out of her eyes. As she came down to kiss her love, she felt Twilight’s hooves wrap around her shoulders and pull her in closer. As they kissed, Twilight felt Trixie’s tongue enter her mouth, and rub tenderly against her own. Time seemed to stand still as Twilight and Trixie enjoyed the tastes of one another's blissful kisses. Twilight ran her hooves across some streaks of Trixie’s mane, reveling in how soft it was. Trixie glided her hooves around Twilight’s coat starting from her stomach, and eventually reaching her chest.

Nothing else could compared to the bliss these two were sharing.

The foreplay ended at a fair time as both mares were in the right mood. Trixie stared at Twilight giggling a little. Twilight stole one last kiss, and shortly after felt Trixie moves down towards her neck. As Trixie licked Twilight a bit, Twilight moaned “… That feels good.”

While wrapping her lips around Twilight's purple neck, Trixie moved her hoof down between Twilight’s legs to tease her. Sucking tenderly and taking her time, Trixie smiled; Hearing Twilight’s moans was music to the show mare’s ears. Twilight, still caressing Trixie’s hair said “You’re really (Moan) good at that… Don’t stop… Please.”

Trixie just played with Twilight and loved how innocent and easily pleasured she could be. Now that a good and noticeable love mark was left on her purple neck, Trixie brought her head up and said “Wanna continue?”

Twilight brought her hooves up to Trixie’s cheeks and pulled her close to kiss the blue mare once more. After words, she said “Definitely.”

Trixie stood up, turned around and lowered herself down to Twilight’s pussy as the purple mare wrapped her hooves around Trixie’s waist to eat the show mare out as well. The feeling to Twilight was great. Every lick felt like a feather as Trixie’s soft tongue rubbed up and down her lips. The purple mare was so lost in bliss; She could barely concentrate on her part. Trixie’s pussy tasted sweet and smooth. The liquids leaked in lovely strands from both mares as they continued. Moaning from pleasure, the two mares began to tense up as they felt close. Trixie’s muffled moans were followed by Twilight's as orgasmic bliss overtook the mares. Cumming from the nice company of Twilight was Trixie’s last lustful want in life, and now she had it.

The two lay side by side with Trixie smiling and holding Twilight’s waist while licking her ear kindly. Twilight turned around and kissed Trixie's forehead, causing the show mare to blush and smile. Unfortunately for Trixie, Twilight still wanted to know what happened that put her on the throne.

Twilight asked in a sweet but slightly worried voice “What happened in this universe?”

Trixie’s smile turned into a sad frown as she began. “It started with… An alternate universe version of Princess Celestia.”

Part 1: "I regret this now more than ever."

"I regret this now more than ever."

Trixie gulped as she prepared to explain. "Trixie was the greatest showmare Ponyville, or any other city for that matter had ever seen. Her stunts impressed, and enticed the crowd, nearly enforcing them to beg for more… That is, until you showed up, and when Trixie says you... she means yourself form this universe. Your stopping of the Ursa Minor was commendable to your friends, but humiliating for Trixie. The entire town was laughing at her! Ponies she walked by would sometimes call her names. She was left in the cold, damp streets unable to receive any bits for a measly room to stay in. The caravan Trixie used to travel with was her home. Not only that, but it also had all of Trixie's hard earned cash in it. Trixie walked the streets for hours in the night, unable to fall asleep due to the rain that poured upon her… She passed by your house with irritation, but no matter how Trixie tried to deceive herself, she just couldn't help but to assume you hated her just as much as every other pony in town."

Twilight shot that theory down by claiming she could never hate anypony, and then Trixie asked if she could finish. “Oh, of course… Continue, please,” Twilight said.

“You actually proved to Trixie that you didn’t hate her. You allowed Trixie to stay in your library. You must have seen Trixie walking, soaking wet, and roofless. She heard your door open, and you yelled to Trixie to come on in. She entered, and you apologized for ruining Trixie's act. You were even kind enough to take her hat and coat. Then, just when Trixie thought you couldn't be any more hospitable, you used a drying spell on her coat and mane! Such generosity was given by you… All Trixie did was take it. While you were asleep, some sort of device appeared at the bottom of the stairs, and a screen flickered on. Trixie looked at it only to see an image of an alternate universe version of Princess Celestia with a pink coat. She gave Trixie a choice that night. She promised her power, enough to rule Equestria, and Trixie stupidly accepted. Some sort of chemical concoction appeared before her on the floor. Celestia then instructed Trixie to drink it while informing her that it would store every unicorn’s magic abilities and manna in the entire town within whoever drank it… Trixie doesn’t remember what was running through her head, but… she took the bait, and drank the mixture.”

Twilight, realizing exactly what Trixie did looked at her in shock as she continued.

“The power… The magic… Trixie remembers that part as if it were yesterday! Trixie was chock full of energy, and ready to take Canterlot, and the throne. She teleported there, leaving you in an utterly crippled, and weakened state. At the time, Trixie thought you still hated her, and put a roof over her head just to add insult to injury… Trixie is a fool… She robbed herself of a friend that day… Anyways, Trixie stormed the castle while enchanting all the guards with a sleeping spell. Princess Celestia was away on royal business, so taking control of the entire castle was all too easy. If she had been there that night, Trixie would have had a real problem. Luna faced me, but she was no match for Trixie's newly obtained abilities. After her defeat, Trixie forced her to grant Trixie alicorn wing’s. That’s how Trixie got these.”

Trixie spread her amazingly gorgeous, blue wings. Moments later, she folded them, and continued.

“By the time Celestia had returned, Trixie had already banished Luna to the old ruins of ancient Canterlot. Celestia asked what had happened, and Trixie explained to her about how she absorbed all this power, but not who gave her the concoction. They battled, and she lost reluctantly. Just a little more power, and Trixie would have been the one who was overthrown. She left the castle, giving Trixie the crown… Ever since, Trixie has had everything she's ever wanted. Power… Canterlot… Even wings, but there was still one more thing Trixie missed… That was you.”

Twilight, knowing how Trixie and Princess Celestia was, could have predicted this next part, but decided to allow her to finish her tale.

“Trixie returned to Ponyville only to find you missing, and… a note from Princess Celestia. It said that if Trixie wanted you, she would need to obtain you by force… They would guard you with their lives, never leaving your side in fear of Trixie actually trying to attack their castle… So, Trixie quickly gave that up. She wasn’t about to sacrifice my new title for you. Although… she wanted to, but a better conscience told Trixie that her life and belongings were more important."

Twilight finally asked, "Why are you telling me all of this?"

"Because," Trixie said. "I regret this now more than ever." A tear came sliding down pixie's cheek. "You… Loved Trixie… She was too idiotic to see it, though!”

Twilight looked at Princess Trixie with a fair amount of sympathy, and offered “I'd probably forgive you… but, only if you returned your powers to the unicorns that you stole them from, and gave up your wings. I’m sure my alternate universe self would accept your apology if you did this.”

Trixie closed her eyes, holding back more painful tears while saying, “Sorry, Twilight, but that’s not happening.”

With her magic, Trixie summoned a thick rope, tied it in a circle and wrapped it around Twilight’s neck. She then pulled her like a pet to the throne room, and tied her next to the throne as a trophy. Twilight, who was humiliated, said, “You’re only making things harder for yourself. I will not forgive you for this.”

Trixie felt another tear escape. With a shaky voice, she said, “Trixie knows you won’t.”

Meanwhile, the two princesses had been in the world of Tyrant Luna for some time. It had been at least a day. Once their energy returned, Celestia and Luna rose to bid the newly reformed Luna goodbye.

“Remember your promise,” Celestia instructed. “Try… Just try to return this world to harmony. Don’t lose yourself in the darkness ever again.”

Reformed Luna frowned, and said, “I’m sorry for what I did to you, and this world…” Her eyes leaked tears once more as she apologized. “I’ll never let this happen again, I promise!”

Celestia and Luna, feeling like this counterpart and world would turn out much better, smiled and teleported to a new world.

Outside of Canterlot, Celestia and Luna appeared to see a poster hanging on a wall before them. It had Trixie on it, and wording underneath that spelled superior in big, blue letters.

Luna turned to her sister, and asked, “What do you think happened here?”

Part 1: "I can only hope you change your ways and repent for your sins…"

"I can only hope you change your ways and repent for your sins…"

As Trixie sat on her throne embracing the new day, Twilight sat next to her own pedestal. She was lower than Trixie, staring at the floor with anger. While Trixie couldn’t be more satisfied, she wasn’t all that happy with Twilight’s mood.

"Oh, cheer up, Twily!"

Twilight, hearing that nickname just got madder. "Don't call me Twily. Only my friends are allowed to call me that!"

"What?" Trixie asked while coming down from her throne. "You’re still upset about what Trixie's done to gain the throne? Look, this isn’t changing anytime soon. You can either be Trixie's miserable pet, or you can be her special somepony. The choice is entirely up to you. All you have to do is put away your silly pissy face, get on these pillows with Trixie, and enjoy yourself."

Twilight ignored the notion, and stayed perfectly still. Trixie rolled her eyes, and asked, "Are you at least hungry?"

The pet phoenix that sat to Trixie’s right perked up causing Trixie to snap at it. "Not you! Trixie was talking to Twilight."

Twilight shook her head, but was given food anyway. A hay sandwich atop a plate appeared in front of her, and gently landed on the floor. Twilight turned, and asked in an aggravated groan, "How am I supposed to eat this without any magic? I’m not use to using my hooves like an earth pony."

Trixie giggled, and said, "I guess I’ll just have to feed you like a foal."

The sandwich was raised with Trixie's blue and white aura, and was brought to Twilight’s mouth. As she reluctantly ate, Twilight just kept her angry eye locked on Trixie all the while. Once she was done, Trixie got up, and said, "Please don’t be mad, Twilight." She walked up to her, and put a hoof under Twilight's chin while smiling. "Trixie wants you to be happy while you stay here."

Twilight dodged her head to stop Trixie from holding it, and said, "You want me to be happy? Then let me GO!"

Trixie, who was losing patience, got back on top of her overly cushioned throne, and said, "In time, you will see things Trixie's way."

Meanwhile, Princess Celestia and Luna walked the town. No matter how they smiled, and waved, all they received were odd faces as well as gestures from the town's inhabitants. Luna turned to her sister, and asked, "What is going on here?"

Celestia, just as confused as her sister, said, "Who knows… But I’m sure it can’t be good."

As they reached the royal palace entrance, Celestia noticed one of the guards who she knew quite well.

"Ah, good to see you, Silver Shield."

Shield simply cowered, and asked in nervousness, "What do you two think you’re doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be guarding Twilight?!"

The two sisters looked at each other with curiosity as to why they would need to guard Twilight, but they decided to get their answers from Trixie. The guards of course allowed them entry, and they proceeded to the throne room. As they entered, they were shocked to find Twilight roped, and displayed like that of a prize positioned on a pedestal. Trixie saw the two, and started asking, "Wh-What in Equestria are you two doing here???"

Celestia turned to Luna, and said, "Apparently, this world’s Twilight is some sort of… Slave!"

Luna said, "It would seem so, but then, what was Shield talking about then?"

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Trollestia's device came scrambling into the universe. The screen popped up, and was a little blurry, but still visible.

"Hello… Checking! One, two… Alright, I’m on," Trollestia said. Celestia and Luna watched in confusion.

"Alright… Look, Trixie, Lulu ended up getting a bit too mad at me, and… Well, let’s just say she lost her temper. Anyways, that’s not the point. This'll have to be a one way call. Again, you have Lulu to thank. I can’t see or hear you, but you can see and hear me. So, here we go. You know how I gave you that mixture for testing purposes, right? That was for alternate universe spell practicing, but now that my actual prank is under way, I’ll start from the beginning. I teleported an alternate world Celestia to another world and then, she and… Well… It's confusing, I'll skip to the chaser… Basically, the most powerful version of Princess Celestia, and her sister to boot! Princess Luna! Yeah, they're going from world to world interfering almost as much as me, but making everything better! I just received word that a world in which a Tyrant Luna ruled was changed shortly after the two had arrived. They defeated Nightmare Moon, destroyed her rock in the sky, reformed her, and then... get this! They made a new moon for her! They have been using their powers so frequently on teleporting to and from worlds that now, they have become possibly the strongest versions in any other universe. I'm telling you this so that you might be on your guard. I can’t seem to pinpoint their location. They could be anywhere! All I want you to do is be alert. You can do that for me, right? I mean, if it wasn’t for that mixture I had Zetrollah make, you wouldn’t be where you are now! So, yeah… I guess that’s all for now… Oh! I hope you’re enjoying that Twilight Sparkle I gave you! Be warned, though, she’s from the universe of the two Princesses I was just talking about, so if they find her with you… Yeah… Any who, I’ll be off. Chow!"

With this, the device returned to its world, leaving the two Princesses very disgruntled. They walked up to the now shaking, and thoroughly scared Trixie. Luna faced the Princess, and Celestia took off the rope that was tied to Twilight's neck. Celestia asked Twilight if she was hurt, and Twilight claimed she was fine.

"Sister…" Luna said. "What do you think? Should we interrogate her, and perhaps punish her for the crimes she has committed?"

Celestia said, "No, and mainly because this world has been interfered with enough… We should just leave it. With Twilight, we should have enough magical power to venture to another world now."

Trixie relaxed, but still asked, "Wait, your taking Twilight?"

Twilight turned to Trixie, and said, "I can only hope you change your ways and repent for your sins…" Her words were cold to Trixie, but then, she said, "When you do, consider your apology accepted."

Trixie, who was now beginning to tear up, said, "Please, don’t leave!"

Twilight’s response was just as cold as Trixie’s selfishness. "Goodbye, Trixie."

With these last words, the Princess's and Twilight teleported out of the world, leaving Trixie's heart aching.

Part 1: "Amazing! This is fascinating!"

"Amazing! This is fascinating!"

In the throne room, Celestia, Luna and Twilight Sparkle appeared, and looked around only to find the room to be deserted save for themselves. Nothing but the throne, a red carpet, and the big, double door at the far side of the room. Celestia turned to Luna, and asked, "Where do you think we are?"

Luna quickly hushed her sister. "SHH!"

There were noises of a small filly running through the palace halls. She sounded very recognizable, too. The three mares began to trot, only for Celestia to suddenly feel a certain somepony run into the back of her.

"Ouch… Oh, Celly! You came back!" the young filly said in an excited tone. It was Molestia, still stuck in her immature form. Celestia giggled, and asked, "You’re not mad at me, Molestia?"

The young filly said, "Oh, don’t call me that! Call me molly. And, of course not! Surprisingly, I’ve been having a lot of fun."

The young pony hopped onto Celestia’s back, and rustled with her flowing mane.

Soon after, Gamer Luna showed up with a nice smile on her face, and greeted the three. "Well! Look who decided to visit. How are you… Uh, Twilight, I thought you were in Celestia’s room cleaning up."

Twilight looked confused, and the princesses said they would explain in the garden.

Pink pedals fell from blooming flower trees, and wafted by the five mares. Molly still stayed on Celestia’s back playing with her mane. The feeling of childish hooves swirling and rustling with the locks was pleasant, if only a very little bit annoying to the princess.

Once they explained their endeavors to gamer Luna, she said, "Well, this sounds stressful… I hope you get home soon."

Celestia said, "Well, the only thing that is bad about it is the fact that the day hasn’t passed in… Six days is it…? Yes, six days in our universe."

Molly frowned, and said, "Uh, oh…"

Celestia asked, "What’s with the uh oh?"

Just then, Luna gasped to the memory of the day when Molestia raised the sun. "Oh, no! The sun is still in dick shape!!!"

Celestia’s eyes grew wide as she said, "S-still… In what sort of shape?"

Luna gulped, and said, "Molestia made the sun rise as a dick…"

Celestia, who was about to burst turned to gamer Luna, and said, "Well, this has been fun, but I’m afraid we can’t stay any more than two hours… Please, forgive us."

As they talked, Twilight noticed something peculiar. It looked like herself walking down the hall in a maid’s outfit.

All too caught up in curiosity, she followed, leaving the others behind. They didn't seem to really be noticing her disappearance, either. As she followed, she felt awkward knowing she was about to meet herself from another universe. The other Twilight entered her room, as did the original Twilight. She watched herself take off the outfit, and hang it up. Then, she turned around to see herself, and gasped. "W-what in Equestria?!"

The original Twilight walked up to the other Twilight, and looked her up and down while saying, "Amazing! This is fascinating!"

This made the justly undressed mare blush, and say, "Wow… For… well, me, I look sexy as hell!"

Twilight raised her ears, unsure of what she'd just heard herself say. That's when Molestia's Twilight boldly asked, "Do… Do you mind if I kiss you? Or, that is, me…? Or… Well, you know what I'm asking."

Considering her innocence, Twilight stepped away, and said, "I don’t know, me. That’s kind of weird… Uh…"

Twilight walked up to her frightened self, however, and kissed her with little regard towards if she really cared. Although she didn’t know if she felt comfortable, the original Twilight did however find it interesting. The taste of her own tongue resembled her own taste, but was just a bit different. As they continued to kiss, and blush, they moved to the edge of the bed, and laid down tenderly. Once their lips parted, Twilight said, "Well, that escalated quickly!"

Kissing Twilight’s chest, the real Twilight felt odd. This new experiment was enough to make her shake. As they moaned, Molestia's Twilight just giggled while inching closer to her counter part’s slit.

"I’ve always wondered what i tasted like down there," she said as she began licking away. It was an odd feeling for the original, having her very own copy doing this to her. This was probably the first time something like this had ever even happened for that matter, so she let it slide knowing it would be something completely new to write about. As she felt herself close to an orgasm, Twilight raised her head, and said, "Don’t cum just yet."

Twilight asked, "How did you know?"

She chuckled, and claimed, "I’m you. Remember? I know when you’re about to cum, and I know what you like as well."

She summoned two medium sized vibrators, and said, "Alright. I control the blue one, while you control this purple dildo!"

Liking where this was going, Twilight agreed, and grabbed the purple vibrator with her magic. As Twilight climbed on top of herself, she said, "Alright… Don’t be too rough with me."

"Don’t you worry your under-molested mind… I won’t."

As the two vibrators entered their seemingly identical openings, the two unicorn’s moaned with delight. The time went by while they leisurely enjoyed the feeling of one another's company for an hour or so. Within that window, they came at least two times, and all too soon were they exhausted. As they slept, the original Twilight said, "I don’t usually do this… But-"

She was interrupted by her copy, who ended the sentence for her. "But curiosity got the better of you? I know. Don’t worry about it."

Thirty minutes passed, and the two returned to the garden to regroup with the other. Celestia turned to see the two, and asked where they were. Her Twilight said, "Oh, don’t worry about that… We were just exploring the palace, that's all."

Celestia wasn’t buying this story, and would ultimately discuss this with Twilight once she found the time. She turned to gamer Luna, and said, "As much as we'd love to stay, I guess we’ll be going now. Better sooner than later."

Molly jumped down, and said, "Okay… I’ll be returning to my usual state tomorrow, then?"

Celestia smile, and claimed, "Yes you will!"

Molly smirked, and asked to whisper a favor in Celestia’s ear. She did so, making Celestia smile, and say, "Oh! Now that can definitely be arranged."

The three mares gathered, and sparked their horns. As a circle of light surrounded them, bright blue, purple and white radiance spread through the air, and just like that, they were off to another universe.

Part 1: "We need to talk."

"We need to talk."

The three universe travelers appeared in the Canterlot garden to find it looking the same as the other world they had just visited. Looking around, Twilight asked, "So… Where are we?"

Celestia, still a bit irritated with Twilight, and knowing good and well what she did in Molestia’s universe didn’t answer. Luna on the other hoof, said, "Well, it’s another universe. Who knows where we are."

Just as they were considering leaving the garden, two familiar, but extremely deformed beings entered. They were talking about music, but dropped the conversation when they saw the three ponies. They walked up right on two hooves, or whatever those things were. The one with long, colorful, and seemingly flowing hair said, "Oh, my… Ponies in the garden?"

Celestia, who was baffled, said, "I've only ever seen a creature like this once, but this can't be that same universe. The only way to get there is through that old mirror. You must be yet another alternate universe version of myself; one that's also human!"

Human Celestia stared at the talking pony in a stunned trance. "H-how did you just talk???"

Celestia took the time to explain to the two beings about who they were. With all introductions and explanations presented, the human Celestia said, "Well, my name is Princess Celestia. I guess you can call me human Celestia. Humans are what takes this form of the body. This is my sister, human Luna."

She raised her arm, and wrapped it around her sister’s neck, and hung around with her while. "Nice to meet you."

Pony Luna smiled, and said, "I’ll never get use to this."

Pony Celestia asked if they could stay for the night, and the two human princess's agreed open heartedly. As they walked, Celestia noticed they hadn’t any wings or horns, and proceeded to question their counterparts about it.

Human Celestia explained, "Well, you see, the sun doesn’t require such magic to be moved. It does this all by itself. We're just the Princesses of protection for Canterlot, and other major cities. Anyways, our hands do most of the grabbing. Wanna see?"

Celestia agreed, and felt the kind appendage of her alternate universe-self scratch the back of her ear. It felt surprisingly good, and unusual to the touch. As they reached the room, human Luna said, "Sorry, but the castle is full. Luckily, however, we managed to find you this room that has three beds in it, so we’ll have to stick you here for the night."

Celestia stood on the balcony overlooking the town while Luna and Twilight wondered what she was thinking about.

"You think she’s mad or something?" Twilight asked.

Luna shrugged, and explained "Whenever she just… stares into the night like that, I just don’t know. She just gets lost in her own emotions sometimes."

Celestia tilted her head, and said, "I can hear you."

Twilight’s head sank as Celestia came back into the room. She looked at the two mares, and said, "We need to talk."

Twilight gulped, and asked, "About what, your Highness?"

Celestia said in an upset voice, "I’ll get with you later… Luna?"

Celestia’s sister stood, and came up to her with a frown.

"You were… forced to… do unspeakable things with Molestia, right?"

She nodded her head in agreement.

"Then… You know I’ve noticed you… Looking at me. Now, when I say-"

Luna interrupted, and said, "I know what you mean. It’s just… You have to understand. I hate to admit it, but you seem so… attractive now… and..."

While Luna lost what she was going to say, Celestia took the chance to explain, "I don’t care how attractive I appear to you. If it wasn’t for Trollestia, we wouldn’t be in this mess, and the feelings you have now wouldn’t have ever existed. Have you forgotten that we are still being pranked by that pink witch?"

Luna’s head bowed in shame. She knew what her sister was saying was true.

"From now on," Celestia continued. "I hope you intend on making a point of not only working out your emotions, but also trying your best to still act mature during future events."

Luna claimed she understood the request, and went back to sit down in her bet to think about things more thoroughly. Now, it was Twilight’s turn for lecturing.

Celestia looked at the purple mare, and began. "As for you, my student... My own student. I had hoped better from you, Twilight… More self control. More will power.” Twilight asked what she was talking about, and got her answer rather harshly. "You got intimate with yourself!"

Twilight gulped and said, "I-I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Celestia saw through her like clear glass. "When you were at the world of Molestia, you ran off with your counterpart. Upon your return, you lied to me, which was easy to see. You abandoned one of the elements of harmony then, and you’re abandoning it now!" Twilight looked at the floor, realizing she always was a horrible liar, and had the worst pokerfaced next to Applejack. Celestia looked at the mare, and said, "I may have altered another universe, but at least I did that to try and help it recover from its crippled state. You just… just opened your legs to yourself and…"

She sighed as imaginary pictures entered her thoughts. Twilight bit her bottom lip, but managed to mutter, "I knew I shouldn't have done that."

"Just… be more careful next time, and don’t be so willing to do something so demeaning to yourself. Do you think you can do this for me, Twilight?"

The young student said, "I think so..." Shortly after, the three mares went to bed, but Luna and Twilight stayed up thinking about their endeavors a little more.

Later in the morning, the three awoke to the sound of knocking on the door. Celestia answered to see human Luna smiling tenderly, while saying, "I guessed you needed to get going, right…?"

Celestia yawned, and said, "Yes. Actually, we really do. Right, Luna, Twilight?"

The other mares stumbled out of bed, and proceeded to head to the dining room to eat some breakfast. Shortly after, they teleported to a new world in hopes of it being their home, but this world would be much better.

If the word karma has ever striked fear in your heart, that you know you did something pretty bad, and it also means that you are awaiting punishment. Tell Trollestia this if you ever get the chance.

Part 1: "That’s it! I’m done."

"That’s it! I’m done."

The three mares appeared within the Canterlot library. As they stood looking around the empty room, Twilight walked up to the door, and was about to examine the outside when Celestia stopped her by saying, "Wait! Be careful. I sense high voltage on the doorknob."

Celestia grabbed some dust, and sprinkled it on the knob. As they watched the dust smoke, and start to disintegrate, Celestia claimed, "It’s just enough to shock you, but not enough to kill you… Why?"

Luna used her magic to open the door, and leaved the library with her friends. As they looked down the hall, they became curious as to what this world would be like, and which counterpart inhabited it.

Twilight walked a little bit behind the two other’s, and with a slower pace. She turned her head to the right only for a brief second, and saw a blue button. "Umm… Princess?" She called over her shoulder.

The two sisters came back in order to get a better look at it.

"Press it," Luna offered.

Twilight did so, and when she did, a secret, square box popped out pointed towards Celestia. It opened, and the head of a joker sprung every which way, laughed at them the whole time. Then, it went back into hiding. Celestia, being able to piece the puzzle together now, said, "This must be Trollestia’s world. Wow. I’m actually excited about that!"

The three continued to the throne room to find Trollestia sitting on her throne with her sister sitting next to her dressed like a clown.

"Is that Luna?" Twilight asked. "Why is your counterpart dressed like that?"

Luna looked at Twilight, and questioned the unicorn, "How should I know? I’m not her… Well, I am, but… Okay, you know what? Look! It's Trollestia! She’s the one who did this to us."

Trollestia stomped her hoof to the floor in a slow applause, and said, "Well, well! You figured it out. Welcome to my humble lair. Now, I must warn you… The entire room is decorated up to your eyeballs in pranks, jokes, and traps just for you! By the time you reach me, you'll be too exhausted to even lift a hoof! I saw you coming, and decided to prepare. So…"

The three mare’s teleported to the front of Trollestia, and stared at her with rage clearly visible within their eyes. Obviously, she wasn’t a very powerful alicorn after all to not know about such a rudimentary spell.

"What? How did you...?" Trollestia asked in confusion.

Celestia stood in front with Luna to her right, and Twilight to her left. She turned to her student, and asked, "What do you think? Turned into a child?" Trollestia gulped. Celestia turned to Luna, and asked, "Or perhaps a stallion?"

Trollestia said, "Y-you wouldn’t… It would be breaking the physical laws of this world! You'd end up-"

Celestia shut her up quickly with a hushing spell, and said, "You’ve interfered with dozens of worlds, and you want us to let that slide? All three of us were raped, sent to other worlds, put into turmoil, and literally tortured by this entire experience! You should be ashamed of yourself! What do you have to say?"

Trollestia, knowing there was no escaping punishment now said the worst two things she could've ever thought of.

"You mad?"

Celestia gritted her teeth, and said, "That’s it! I’m done."

Her horn began to glow, and so did Luna’s, and twilight’s. Soon, the pink coated troll was radiant with light, and then, she vanished.

Celestia looked at the seat, and saw a map with circles printed on it. She picked it up, and examined the odd objest while the alternate universe Luna asked, "Did you just get rid of my sister?"

Twilight said, "Yes… She’s in another world now… Sorry for your loss."

Luna smiled, and said, "yes, yes, yes, YES!!! I’m FREE! Which means I'm also the ruler of Trollquestria now! Oh, finally… Now, my new friends. This world will see nothing BUT harmony!"

Original Luna asked what the paper represented, and Celestia said, "It’s a map to all the other universes. Apparently, if we attempt to go to the gender bent world, well end up back home!"

Luna and Twilight jumped up and down with joy as they heard this bit of news. This long, crazy and rather upsetting adventure would finally come to an end.

The three returned to the library to see the sun setting in the window. Twilight walked up to a small desk, and said, "Celestia, you may want to have a look at this."

Celestia saw a book sitting atop some dusty papers, and scrolls. They were all about traveling amongst the multiverse. Celestia opened the book, and read, "A fun fact: Due to the odd nature of worlds, different dimensions, so on and so forth, this would sufficiently prove that so long as you attempt to change the world in a positive manner, it will turn out positive. If not, then the world will either return to normal, or take drastic changes in odd, or perhaps unforeseen results."

The three waited an hour, and were ready to return to their world. Just before they were going to leave, the alternate universe version of Luna came to them, and thanked them once more. Of course, she was looking much more like her actual self rather than Trollestia's jester.

As she entered, she said, "By the way, I have to know. Where Exactly did you send my sister?"

Celestia giggled to herself, and said, "That’s a secret, but I’ll tell you this much. I let the crime fit the punishment!"

With this said, the three teleported out of there, and returned to their world where much work was to be done. In their absence, a grand paranoia struck the town along with embarrassment, and a mixture of thoughts about the Princess’s absence, mysterious disappearance, and the sun’s odd shape. It had been at least seven days of light, so not that many ponies were able to receive any sleep. The guards, and Cleanse Well were forced to do interviews with the Equestrian Press, mainly because they were the only ones who saw the two before they had left. Unfortunately for Celestia, their statements were honest, and raised questionable ideas in the minds of the public.

Once they returned home, Celestia and Luna would have great amounts of responsibilities, and challenging objectives to attend to post haste. As for Twilight Sparkle, she felt it a necessity to possibly visit Trixie in Las Pegasus, but these scenarios are for later.

For now, we must check up on the other universes in order to see what outcomes have occurred.

Part 1: Aftermath 1

aftermath: part 1
"This… is Stan."

Trollestia awoke to the feeling of chains tightly securing her hooves to the floor. As she looked around the room, she asked herself, "Where am I?"

Nervous and shaken by the darkness, she began to sweat at the hollow feeling in her chest. Her moments of silence went by, and then, she heard the clopping of hooves approaching, and somepony stood in the light. The golden royal hoof jewelry resembled her own, and the cotton white silvering of the mistresses chest told her it was a counterpart of her's, but who? She just couldn't tell, all because of that infernal, blinding light.

"Who’s there? Show yourself!"

The mistress did so. The pink mane struck pure terror into Trollestia.

"You know… I didn’t actually like you tormenting my new otherworldly friends after all," Molestia said with a smile.

Huge tentacles, and tendrils could be seen coming out of the darkness behind the dominant Princess. A giant grotesque monster now stood menacingly next to her, oozing with liquid slime.

Molestia said, "This… is Stan." Stan waved hello to Trollestia. "He will be molesting you for quite some time. I'll return once he’s done with his fun. You think you can do that for me, Stan?"

Stan giggled, though Trollestia found this oddly baffling as he had no mouth. "Well, uh, I’m not that eager to do this like you are. However, if she really hurt you, I guess I can oblige, so long as you never try to molest me again."

Molestia chuckled, and claimed, "Just as long as you make this mare cum at least thirty times before I return, I will never molest you again."

Trollestia, frightened beyond her wildest imagination said, "You can’t do this! I will not be molested by this… this thing!"

Molestia giggled, and said, "You don’t have much of a choice, you know. Tata!"

Stan lunged at Trollestia, and the punishment began...

"This kingdom will be greater… It will be stronger, and so will I!"

As alicorn Twilight stood on her balcony frowning with regret, Luna approached her to ask what was wrong.

"I'm becoming a tyrant… aren’t I, Luna?"

The blue Princess looked at the sun that had been justly raised, and said, "You've made a few poor decisions lately, but I wouldn’t call you a tyrant… More like a confused, and pressured mare, if anything."

Twilight gulped, and said, "No… I’ve been horrible to my subjects as of late, and you know it." Luna’s worried face stared into the eyes of her fellow royal blooded Princess. Twilight continued, "It isn’t like I haven’t noticed… The cries for help have been ignored, and I’ve been abusing my title, but no more."

Twilight’s voice became stern, and serious as she said this. "Really," Luna asked.

"Yes, really! I will not be the one held responsible for a second tyrant in power!" She looked out at the land stretching before her, and said, "This kingdom will be greater… it will be stronger, and so will I!"

Luna questioned Princess Twilight Sparkle, "How will you accomplish this?"

"The powers and personality I took from Celestia may be more dominant, but I will not let them overtake my body, or my mind. I am in charge of what, and who I am. From this day forth, I will not only become a better ruler, but I will also become the best ruler Equestria has ever, and will ever know!"

Luna smiled, and said, "You’ve been giving this quite some thought, haven’t you…? What happened to you that caused this new decree?"

Twilight bowed her head as she remembered the acts of cruelty she had committed on the Celestia from another universe, and said, "I was visited by a friend. She helped me open my eyes to the truth of my mistakes."

"What should we do about the culprit behind all of this?"

Lord Solaris and his brother, Lord Nocturne ventured the streets of Canterlot examining the total amounts of damage King Chrysalis had caused. They concluded that much work would need to be done in order to restore the town to its former glory. As they returned to the castle, and headed to the dungeon, Lord Nocturne asked his brother, "What should we do about the culprit behind all of this?"

Lord Solaris smiled, and said, "That's an interesting question. See, his entire army and forces have been defeated, and his powers have been depleted. I say in five days, we let him go, and allow him to either join us or simply do what he wishes with his freedom."

As they entered the dungeon, they saw the stallion that put them in this mess. Chrysalis was cut, beaten and left scarred in many areas. The two lords explained to him the arrangement. Shortly after, they left him with his sad thoughts. Although Chrysalis had no place to run to, and no shelter, he still hated the two stallions. Then again, where would he go with this freedom? No power, and or minions would surely provide a life harder than anything he would've had to have faced thus far, so there was no point in trying to work this out in his head. The two brothers returned, and asked Chrysalis what his final answer would be. To their surprise, he claimed he wished to stay in the palace.

Lord Solaris and Lord Nocturne explained to Chrysalis the rules, and told him what responsibilities he had. Chrysalis would live there as long as he wished, as long as he worked hard to return the city to its former youth. It had to look just as it did before he attacked with his army, and he would be required to promise never to attempt any such treachery towards the two lords again.

Little did they know what would happen once the changelings began giving love of their own away freely.

"I’m sorry."

Luna walked on the newly covered gravel. The floating islands were now restored to a flat landscape. As Luna wandered the world with blue smoke filling the foggy air, she cried with nopony to talk to, feeling the devastation of solitude.

Luna used her magic to restore the grass, trees, and what little life she possibly could, but new ponies wouldn’t surface for at least another five hundred years, or possibly more. Luna would be alone, scared, and depressed in the meantime.

She remembered her sister, and Twilight Sparkle. The way she murdered them both brought tears to her eyes more so than the depressing loneliness she felt. She muttered the words that nopony but herself would hear.

"I’m sorry." She sobbed. "I’m… so sorry, my sister… Twilight… please forgive me."

Part 1: Aftermath 2

Aftermath: part 2
Trixie's... still great and powerful… right?

As Trixie wondered how she could've possibly allowed Twilight to slip from her hooves, she thought, "What if she was right? What if Trixie were to just... return this power, and give up her throne? What Trixie means is, does she really want this? Is Trixie really all that in need of power that she has to… Does she want Twilight to hate her forever?"

Finally coming to a decision, she realized the right thing for her to do was to return the power she'd stolen, and give-up on the luxuries of being a princess, so she might have a better shot with the mare she truly longed for. Although, she figured that shot would be hard to achieve. As she hung her coat and hat, she instructed the guards to remove all posters of her with the superior text underneath, and to also prepare for Princess Celestia’s and Princess Luna’s return. Flying into the setting sun, headed for the old ruins of Canterlot some ways away, she thought about the first time she met Twilight. Her mind just wandered from memory to memory. For the most part, her subconscious had pretty much taken hold of the flight by then.

The show mare was doing great. Not to mention the fact that she had made a killing with all the bits ponies threw at her. That night, the Ursa Minor appeared, and attacked the town, destroying her caravan. The money she had made that night went up in flames. As she witnessed Twilight perform the impossible, jealousy thrived within her. All she could really do was watch in awe, something she very seldom did. All that boasting was wasted. She would give anything to be back at the library, safe and warm with Twilight.

Trixie arrived at the castle. Grey, crumpled concrete that once was designed with pure art was now withering away to dust from erosion. Inside, candles illuminated the three as they sat together, all of them awake, and staring at the mare with hatred. Walking into the coldness of the building, Trixie gulped, but she didn’t dare say a word. All she did was flicker her horn, and she released a widespread burst of magic that sent unbelievable power soaring into the air. She was returning her might to every unicorn she robbed. Her wings, feather by feather ripped away, and circled her like a mini tornado that slowly burned away into ashes. By then the mare felt dizzy, and dazed at the sudden loosening of her vital strength. Her energy drained body collapsed, and Trixie fell into a deep sleep.

Now, wingless and weak, Trixie slept. Her dreams, however, were uncomfortable. The three mares rose, and approached the showmare with odd expressions on their faces. They knew she had returned the power to the unicorns of Ponyville, and gave up her wings, but why now? This question, as well as many others would be answered in time. Celestia, Luna, and Twilight returned to Canterlot to restore it to normal. They left Trixie helplessly snoozing in the ruined castle.

Hours into the night, Trixie awoke. Her head rose with a throbbing pain due to a horrid headache. The candles that once burned brightly were now dead, which made the room feel cold. Trixie could even feel herself shivering. While she left, headed for the stares, she felt off balanced without her wings. Stumbling to the grassy soil, she headed to a nearby pond where some trees grew. As she lowered herself to see her reflection in the water, and to skim it with her hoof, she asked aloud, "Trixie's… still great and powerful… right?"

Just as she asked this, Twilight appeared from behind. The sound of her hooves signaled her approach, and made Trixie tear up. She could recognize that signature sound of clopping hooves in a hailstorm.

"Twilight," she said in a sad, and uneasy voice. "Please, just leave Trixie be. She can’t stand to let you see her like this… Not now."

As Trixie felt the soft coat of Twilight’s chest press against her back, a pair of purple hooves wrapped themselves around the showmare to comfort her. Trixie turned her head to see Twilight wearing her Sparkle designed hat and cape.

Trixie looked away, feeling awful about Twilight still being so kind to her. "Why must you do this to Trixie?"

Twilight just held the mare tightly. The warmth of her mane stopped Trixie from shaking, though the nervousness of being with her still made the ex-princess stutter.

"Trixie shouldn’t be accepting your kindness… S-she doesn't deserve it. She stole all of your magic for herself, and then left you there, powerless. How can you even look at her?"

Trixie’s tears glided softly to the ground, and some landed on Twilight’s arm. The purple caped mare smiled, and began licking Trixie’s ear to stimulate her emotions even more. Teasing the show mare seemed like the only thing she could do. As Trixie was laid down on her back, Twilight kissed her for the first time in her life. Although Trixie had kissed the other Twilight, this kiss seemed perfect in every way. The tender feel of her hoof holding Trixie’s cheek, and the blissful taste of her tongue sent her to a place of peace, and serenity. With eyes closed, and her body motionless, Trixie accepted the purple mare’s love as if she were enchanted. It almost seemed like this feeling of sublime could last forever.

As Twilight’s lips parted with Trixie’s, her hoof wiped the tears from the showmare's face while finally speaking. "You know, if you wanted power, you could have just asked me to train you."

Trixie gulped, and claimed, "Trixie would have, b-but, she thought you didn’t like her… Trixie's still confused about if you actually, truly care, or if you're just doing this to torment Trixie… Still, you're so beautiful, Twilight. Trixie just can’t stop thinking about what she did to you that night."

As Twilight tossed the hat and cape aside, she said, "You need to let it go. I’ll always love you." Looking deep into her eyes, Twilight said, "I know you meant well when you returned everyone's magic, and gave up your throne. So, I forgive you... Now, if only I can get you to stop crying."

Trixie smiled, and said, "Twilight… Trixie loves you."

The purple mare brought her lips in for yet another pleasurable kiss. Afterwards, with great emotion, Twilight said, "I love you, too."

Part 1: Aftermath 3

Aftermath: Part 3
"Trollestia is no more!!!"

Not much changed in the world of humans, but in the world of Trollestia, things began to really turn out for the better. Now, with Luna in charge, no silly and unruly pranks were performed on the world. When the prankster princess had the throne, all the other ponies would dread their time as they knew she would make a point of pranking every last pony by the end of the day, somehow. Luna received the worst time with her, though. Day in and day out, she was forced to help her, or otherwise be pranked in the most miserable of ways by her instead. Now, with that witch out of Luna's life, the city of Canterlot enjoyed the days with no hazardous jokes.

As Luna entered the stadium in the Canterlot square pavilion, she announced, "Citizens, today is a most glorious of days! My sister, Celestia, has been vanquished, leaving me the throne. Do not fear, for I will make a point of showing you the true meaning of benevolence! Our Celestia, some know her as Trollestia, was a horrid ruler. Well, I am here to tell you something!" The crowd roared, dying to know what Luna wished to tell them. Then, in a bolsters voice, she declared, "Trollestia is no more!!!”

The crowd cheered even louder as this news struck their ears. The world of Trollestia had returned to harmony, and would remain in that state for the rest of eternity.

"I… might have a slight crush on you…"

Celestia, Luna and Twilight Sparkle appeared in their home universe. As they looked around the throne room, Celestia said, "As much as I would enjoy revelling in how much I’ve missed this place, we need to get to work. Twilight, inform the guards that we have returned and tell them we are thankfully unharmed."

Twilight nodded her head, and proceeded to do so. Celestia turned to her sister, and explained, "We have to correct the time schedule. It’s about… midnight now, so come. I'll lower the sun, and you get started with the moon."

As they approached the window, Celestia gasped at the shape of her star. Luna rolled her eyes, and snapped her sister out of her ruthless gaze. Celestia’s sun returned to its former, round structure, and meanwhile, the moon could be seen coming from a distance. Rather quickly, the sun set itself, and the moon rose to take its place. After this, Celestia said, "Alright, next, a full, widescale apology to each town from both of us. Luna, you work on filling out a report explaining what happened… only make it less… graphic than what actually happened. You know."

Luna smiled as she galloped away. In five days, things settled down. Though questions still appeared, the jist of things were explained in the world equestrian news fairly adequately. As for Twilight, there was only one, single thing left for her to do. For the past few nights, she had been dreaming about Trixie until she couldn't take it anymore. Unsure if things would work out correctly, she visited the city of Las Pegasus to search for the show mare, and see if her feelings were the same.

Searching wasn’t that difficult. Trixie had set up her stand right at the entrance. She was hopeful to catch the wandering eyes of newcomers entering or leaving town. As Twilight shifted through the dense crowd, she spotted the mare performing her usual fake, and rather unappealing tricks. Luckily, to a new audience, it was completely jaw dropping.

"And now, be amazed as the Great and Powerful Trixie shows you what it truly means to be a show stopper like no other!" As usual, Trixie was boasting about herself, talking on the third person way of speaking for the show.

Sparks flew into the air, dazzling and hypnotizing the ponies that watched in awe. Flaring blue fire glided through the air in circles, and curls. finally, as her big show stopper, all the fancy spell slinging balled up in midair, and exploded into bright, multicolored roses, and other assorted flowers. It was actually a rather simple spell that foals could learn by the age of five.

As the crowd cheered, and flattered the phony, she said, "Thank you, Thank you! Yoo're all too kind. Thank…" Her eyes fell upon Twilight Sparkle, causing her heart to sink as her worst nightmare stared back at her with a pleasant grin. "Y-y-you!" she said in shock.

As she backed away, she claimed, "Uh… t-that... is all for today…! Uh… Thanking you once again!"

She exited the stand, and entered her small caravan to hide from the purple mare. The stage folded itself into the little settlement. As the crowd slowly scattered, and then, Twilight approached Trixie's home. She proceeded to knock. As she did, she heard the ruffling of equipment. The door creaked open, and Twilight entered. Everything inside looked like simple, useless trinkets. Her eyes fell upon them first, and finally saw Trixie laying on her soft bed staring at her with a bit of envy.

"What do you want with The Great and Powerful Trixie? She wishes you to leave her immediately." Trixie's voice was stern, and signaled little enthusiasm at the sight of Twilight.

"Well… I thought you might be willing to... Y-you know… accept my apology?" Twilight asked in a modest, and hopeful tone.

"Why would The Great and Powerful Trixie be willing to accept such a small offering? She currently is furious with you. You ran Trixie out of town, and almost cost her the dream career she had been working for all her life!"

Twilight’s head lowered in self-pity. As it did, she said, "Because I’m really sorry for hurting you… That wasn’t supposed to happen like it did… I didn’t mean to hurt you, or your reputation." Her head met Trixie's eyes, and she continued, "If it’s any consolation, I tried to let you have your fun for as long as possible, but when that Ursa Minor attacked… Well… I just had to stop it. I didn’t do that because I wanted to embarrass you. I did it because I wanted to protect you."

Trixie smirked, and said, "If the Great and Powerful Trixie were stupid, she would think you had feelings for her, but that would be absurd. All you care about is hurting Trixie’s feelings, and ruining any chances she has for a good life!"

Twilight couldn’t believe this. She decided to confess, but first, she said, "Look, please stop talking in third person. It’s getting annoying. That’s first… and second… I want to tell you…" Trixie’s eyebrow raised a bit as she was almost certain this would make her day. "I want… to tell you the truth… it’s kind of hard for me to say it…"

Trixie rolled her eyes, and said, "Out with it already!"

Twilight sighed, and confessed, "I… might have a slight crush on you…"

Trixie’s eyes grew wide with delight. "Oh… OH YES! Oh this is perfectly hilarious!" she bellowed with laughter as she rolled off her bedding, and onto the wooden floor while saying, "This is just too rich! You… actually like Trixie? Oh… Trixie's rib cages are starting to hurt from this!"

Twilight backed away, and bumped into the door as she realized this was the difference in this world. Trixie had no love for her here. She never did, and she probably never would. Trixie got to her feet, wiped a small teardrop away from her eyes while still smiling, and said, "Oh… Oh, Trixie can’t believe this… This is… It's just too much!" She chuckled in between words every now and then, acting as though it was some comedy show. "Twilight, don’t think for a second that you… Oh, wow… Don’t think for a second that you have any chance with the Great and Powerful Trixie."

"But, I thought you might-"

Now becoming serious with her words, Trixie interrupted Twilight by saying, "Trixie despises you more so than any other pony in all of Equestria! She considers you her arch nemesis! You will never understand how much she truly loathe your being…" The final words were like a dagger that ripped Twilight’s fragile heart right out of her chest. "You make Trixie sick!"

Trembling, and knocking her knees together with sorrow, Twilight bawled worse than ever. Trixie stopped her ranting, and starred at the sad mare. "What is this!? You’re crying? HA! This entertains Trixie more so than that ridiculous excuse for a joke you were just trying to play on her!"

Though Twilight could hear her, all she could do was cry. Trixie stopped talking to realize these tears were real, and that she was making a complete fool of herself.

"Wait, you’re… serious? You actually… like Trixie?" The showmare had never had an admirer like Twilight before, so she thought it was all just a prank. Now, however, taking into account of the fact that Twilight was literally crying, and not even responding with a reply to Trixie's insults, she felt the distinctly horrible feeling one receives when they've finally realized that they've done something despicably wrong. Guilt overcame the showmare, and sent her mind into a deep, dark sorrow of regret. Walking to Twilight, she said, "How could Trixie be so blind as to not see the truth? Now she feel worse than the first time you showed her up… Please, Twilight, stop your pouting."

Of course, Twilight couldn’t stop now even if she tried. The harsh words spoken by the pony she adored had torn her soul apart. Trixie, having little feelings for her still saw past that, and knew what she would have to do to end this bad event. Trixie wrapped her hooves around Twilight's back, and said, "Come now, Trixie didn’t mean it. She thought you were just being funny by playing a joke on her, or something."

Twilight sobbed, and coughed, "But, I was being s-serious. I thought you might have felt the same way about me… So, I came, and saw you perform... And now… Now…"

She buried her head into her arms as she wailed in anguish. Trixie bit her bottom lip knowing she had just messed up in the worst of ways. All the show mare could really do now was let Twilight cry it out. A good thirty to forty minutes had passed, and soon, Twilight stopped her sobs. Trixie led her to the bed, though Twilight walked in a half dazed, zombie like strut. As she laid down to rest, Trixie laid behind her, and tenderly warmed her with hugs. "Now, please, don’t cry again. I’m sorry, and I accept your apology as well… This may require some getting used to, but… I think I can work with this. Although, I’ve never loved a mare before, I guess I can broaden my horizons a bit for you. Just, please don’t get the idea that I like you. Even though I accept your friendship, I don’t welcome your love for me… yet."

Twilight forced a smile as she laid there with Trixie. It was a start, but eventually, just like a flower emerging from a crack in the concrete sidewalk, it would blossom.

Part 1: Trollestia's Secret Reports

Trollestia's Secret Reports

All I care about right now it this AMAZING plan to completely prank all of Equestria. No, I don’t mean just MY Equestria. I’m talking about several other universes that's out there, just waiting to be fucked with! That’s right! I found a book, and several long, and boring scrolls. See? The original intent in these writers were to travel among the multiverse simply to bring about peace, and justice from one world to another… BORING!!! I have a plan, and this plan will involve several universes. First, I need to test this theory, and see if it’s successful. I’ll simply enforce my sister to help, and then, I’ll see if we can’t make life a living hell for a LOT of ponies. Isn’t this exciting?

Log report… Or, whatever! I ended up swapping one Fluttershy for another Fluttershy. Does that make sense? Okay, look, it's very simple. One was a pitiful excuse for a mare, and the other was… Well, let’s just say she had issues. I dug up a photo of her… Here she is.

Isn’t this fun? The world that I put her in is known as the harmonious universe where Celestia and Luna rule with kindness and generosity, and all that stupid crap!

I got into contact with some Trixie from another universe, and put her in charge! Oh, this is going swimmingly! Let’s see what other pranks I can cause!

Well… this is bad. I accidentally brought an entire universe population to the baron world! This world never received an inch of life. So, it now has billions of ponies on it! Let me explain... I got angry, and forced every single unicorn guard to help me with this… Bad idea… BUT STILL FUNNY!!!

I’ve done numerous experiments, but now comes the big one… the moment of sheer enjoyment! I am going to switch… wait for it… MOLESTIA and the good natured CELESTIA!!! Oh, happy day!

Those two are so fun to troll! I sent one of my inner universal walky-talky thingies that I had my faithful apprentice of pranks, Twilight Sparkle make! Oh, it was sheer amusement! The looks on their faces was priceless!

Alright… things are getting really funny now. Thanks to all of the random teleport blockers I’ve set up, Celestia and Luna have been jumping from world to world! I tuned in, by the way, using my new spell that allows me to view things in a one way mirror, right? Celestia got raped by an alicorn version of Twilight, which I watched with popcorn, of course. Uh, Luna secretly gave her counterpart a blowjob, which Celestia will never know about… I think… and, to top it all off, I’m just kicking back, and enjoying every moment of it!!!

I decided to give the Twilight from the universe that I’m pranking the hardest to alicorn Trixie! Why??? Because I feel like messing things up again. Random! That’s the word of the day. Random!

This is bad… They just defeated the tyrant, Nightmare Moon! Not only that, but an unforeseen side effect of them using their magic to their limits over and over again has given them an energy, and power boost like no other! They even had enough to create a brand new moon for her after they relieved her of the darkness in her heart… I better inform the new and improved alicorn Trixie about this…

I should have seen this coming… I LOST THEM! For all I know, they could be in the world of the jabberwocky by now. Maybe it would be best if I take it easy, but then again... I’ll be right back! I have some traps to set up.

TO RICH! Twilight did it with herself! I found out they saved Twilight, and teleported to Molestia’s world! Oh, this is funny! Basically, I could see them, but they couldn’t see me. Anyways, the first thing I see is two Twilight’s kissing one another, and having their holes stuffed! Oh, this does it! I am... THE BEST TROLLER IN ALL OF EQUESTRIA!!!

"It just cuts off after that, right there…"

The trolling world’s Luna was busy at work contacting the original world’s Celestia. She was informing her of a secret report she had found hidden away within Trollestia's bedroom. Twilight sat next to the Princess, scared about her friend, Fluttershy.

"I haven’t been to Ponyville for weeks now! I hadn’t heard from any of my friends in a while."

Luna looked at the purple mare through the two way multiverse mirror, and said, "The pony you have doesn’t belong with you, Twilight. Do you understand? Also, there are missing reports that I cannot find right now. Molestia says breaking Trollestia is like drilling a hole through the toughest metal known to pony kind."

Celestia put a hoof to her bottom lip, and thought for quite some time before coming to a conclusion.

"We must fix the barriers that entangle the universes that Trollestia has managed to foul up… will you help us, Luna? I will get my sister to help as well, and with Molestia on our side, we're sure to be able to fix all of this."

Luna bowed her head as she spoke, "You have my loyalty for ridding this world of its tyrant. Allow me to tell you that I was the one who aided Trollestia in the destruction of the proper barriers, so I am experienced with this."

Celestia turned to Twilight, and asked her to fetch Luna. Upon her sister’s entrance, Celestia had already called forth Molestia, and gamer Luna for assistance. Twilight offered her help, and she was accepted without hesitation. As the three mare's horn’s fired up in the most radical of ways, beams of light, and ferocious power swirled around them, and then… Nothingness.

"What went wrong?" Gamer Luna asked.

Celestia gulped, and claimed, "We were only able to piece together the worlds we’ve already visited! If we’re going to return the multiverse to its original state, we need to visit new, and unexplored universes one by one. Only then will we be able to revisit them freely. Just like right now. I could visit Molestia’s world if I wanted to, because it’s returned to normal, but I’d need to visit another world first to unlock that one, and set it right before freely visiting it first."

The Princesses, and Twilight thought their journey was over. This, however, has only been Part 1.

Part 2: Business Begins

Business Begins

Previously on The Best Troller In ALL Of Equestria, the three heroines known as Twilight Sparkle, Luna, and Celestia thought that their travels to parallel universes had come to a final, although eventful end. Twilight had convinced Trixie into visiting Canterlot to stay with her as her special somepony. Around two months had gone by before they learned of Trollestia's secret reports, and because of these reports, Twilight felt scared that her friend Fluttershy was in danger.

Some alternate universe Fluttershy had come into their world. The picture Twilight had seen appeared deeply intimidating, with the doppelganger featuring a set of nasty, black highlights, and a stare seemingly telling all that gazed at it that their time had come. There was also a killer lower back tattoo of a snake winding through twin flaming skulls. None of it looked particularly pleasant to Twilight.

With no other choice, Twilight ventured to her old hometown of Ponyville. Celestia and Luna stayed behind, mainly because Celestia had some unfinished business with her sister. One particularly fateful afternoon, the alicorns had gathered together just as all the royal peons had conveniently gotten sucked into a staff meeting.

In the throne room, light shined upon the two through the fancy, stained glass that depicted tales of older times. Luna sat in front of her sister, curious as to what exactly she needed to hear. Princess Celestia’s flowing mane shielded her disgruntled eyes, waiting for her sister to finally get the conversation started.

"What do we need to talk about, sister?" Luna asked, sitting up straight while putting on somewhat of a blase look.

Nothing but the sounds of winds hitting the glass behind them occurred in reply. Ominous feelings seeped into Luna’s being, as though things simply had to remain silent from their very nature. Once Celestia did speak, however, it became clear to Luna that she had made a terrible mistake.

"You gave your alternate self a blowjob, didn’t you?" Celestia calmly yet firmly asked.

Luna’s eyes began to dilate. "It was, ah, it..." Her voice betrayed with her curiosity, and her tendency to experiment with anyone and everything even though for every action there is always a consequence. She thought about how not all were bad, while not all were good, either. "One can easily... m-make a m-mistake, my dear... sister..."

"Mistake or not, I’m shocked that my own blood would stoop so low, though I might have thought ill of you from the very start of it all," Celestia replied, glancing over outside the nearby window as she betrayed her sense of resignation rather than regret. "Twilight is young, yes, and didn’t know any better when she…" As much as her subconscious wanted to bring up every last amazing, sensual detail of that story, the rational part of Celestia’s mind shoved that all away. "When she... You know… But, you should know the difference from right and wrong."

Luna said nothing, and merely listened with pity for herself while her mane fluttered upon her shoulders. She leaned down, trying to at least look remorseful, but she wondered if she detected a twinge of jealousy in they way her sister's spoke. Still, she kept quiet.

"The big question is just, well, how could you even consider giving someone like a male version of yourself," Celestia began, but she trailed off. Talking about the unusually sexual occurrence indeed made her feel extremely discomforted, especially thinking about her sister’s upcoming travel plans. She returned her gaze to her sister for a moment, and asked, "If I let you come with us on this journey, do you promise to try to behave, and honestly control yourself?"

Luna nodded, trying to convey from her supple pose that she’d try her best to obey her sister's wishes, and resist temptations. Though, as Celestia turned away completely, and moved over to the window, Luna thought to herself that she had only promised to try to behave. Since that was not the same thing as promising to succeed in behaving at all, Luna suppressed a smile.

Meanwhile, Twilight and Trixie arrived in the Ponyville Carousel Boutique, wanting to put a quick end to their search for answers. Rarity and Fluttershy had become exceptional friends recently, possibly friendly enough to start the hearing gossip about them that Lyra and Bon Bon had spread around. Twilight thought that surely Rarity could tell them about Fluttershy’s recent activities.

"I have no idea what she’s been doing," Rarity remarked, annoyance flashing over her face as she flipped her ears. Twilight felt shocked, listening intently as Rarity went on. "She’s been locked up in her cottage. She's been crying, and doing who knows what in there for the longest time! Every time I try and visit her, I knock, but then I’ll hear her tell me to simply go away in a pained voice."

"Pained?" Twilight repeated. Deep in her mind, she repeated the words over and over again like a metronome, Please not Emoshy, please not Emoshy, please not Emoshy!

"Her voice, well," Rarity went on, looking up from a gigantic pile of brightly yellow fabrics. She took a little breath, and said, "Yesterday, I walked over asking if she’d like to share in my butter-coated scones. I had made quite a bit, you see, and when she peeked open the window, loud, noisy banging sounds nearly blew me away! Fluttershy said something along the lines of, butter coats the scones. However, it’s not butter that coats my soul."

"Oh," Twilight muttered, the color draining from her face.

"And then, Fluttershy remarked something like, crawling in my skin, these wounds, they can’t be buttered like scones before turning up her grimy music, and slamming the window on me," Rarity finished, sighing before returning to her fabric assortment.

"Oh, horseapples," Twilight whispered, pressing a hoof against her cheek.

"It’s almost heartbreaking to hear her behave with such a temper. Usually, she’ll invite me right on in, and we’ll have tea, or we'll talk about our day. Lately… I just don’t know what's gotten into her." Rarity magically hovered a set of threads, and needles towards her.

Twilight glanced over at Trixie, who had gotten herself sucked into imagining herself in a golden dress. Twilight stepped in front of her friend in order to break the bad news to her. They gulped simultaneously after that. Their fears that Fluttershy had gotten herself replaced by an emo-version felt devastating, yet they had no other choice but to visit that pegasus, and see if they could somehow get her back to her own world. Trixie made up her mind to have a little chat with the alternate universe mare, but she wondered if she could pick up some anti-emo armor from Rarity somehow.

Having no such luck, Trixie gave Twilight a sigh before stepping out into the street. Just before leaving Rarity’s establishment, Twilight assured the other unicorn that everything would work out alright. "We’ll find out what’s wrong with her. Just trust us."

"Oh, but… Twilight?" Rarity called out before the door closed. Twilight popped her head around the corner, and listened to the last question. "Seriously, why are you with that loathly ruffian, Trixie?"

The purple mare smiled with embarrassment as she realized she hadn’t exactly explained that to any of her friends in all the time she’d been back in her own universe. She'd just been planning on putting it off day by day, the same way one neglects to arrange the sock drawer properly. With a small chuckle, and a slight sigh, Twilight said, "Look, I’ll explain later, but she’s a friend now. Listen… Could you do a favor for me, and tell all my other friends that I won’t be back for quite some time?"

Rarity shook her somewhat bewildered head, and said, "Oh, of course darling, but wherever are-"

Before the mare could complete her question, the door closed, and Twilight sent herself galloping towards Fluttershy’s with Trixie far ahead. Upon their arrival, they saw all the windows barricaded, the door locked tight, just as if not a single animal seemed in sight. Twilight told Trixie to simply stay close while she magically picked the lock.

The door slowly opened with a rather startling creak. The two mares entered to see darkness surrounding the living room. Dust lofted by the creases of the windows where light poured in, but only enough got through to illuminate the white, crystal shaped holes on the floor. Everything else appeared pitch black. Twilight lit the way with her magic while Trixie just quivered behind her, too frightened by the idea of whatever Emoshy would have up her sleeve to recall any magic of her own.

Up the stairs and over to Fluttershy’s room, Twilight heard the whimpers of Fluttershy, or at least, what sounded like her. As the door slowly opened, Twilight saw her friend kneeling with the upper portion of her body on the bed, crying her poor eyes out. The two unicorns approached while Twilight looked at the conflicting colors of her mane. Some strands appeared pitch black while the others had a bright pink shade. As Fluttershy raised her head, the two intruders saw tears sliding, and cascading down her face. The pegasus just started, looking annoyed by the company of the two mares.

Twilight broke the silence first, hoping to start a conversation. "You’re… from another universe, right?"

The mare looked puzzled, and said, "I’m just… depressed about everything. All my friends were like me. We hating everything, and we were antisocial… What happened to you, Twilight? I thought we could cut ourselves together, like every other Wednesday."

The mare shook her head, and explained, "Look, you need to come with me to Canterlot. You’re in the wrong universe… I’ll explain on the way."

The three ponies returned to the royal chariot in front of the tree house where the Canterlot guardians stood, waiting to transport the ponies to the palace.

Part 2: "She is rather pretty, isn't she?"

"She is rather pretty, isn't she?"

"So, you're saying that this isn't even my universe?" Emoshy asked with a confused tone.

Twilight sighed, and said, "Not by a long shot."

"Huh," Emoshy said. "I thought it looked quite different... Your world is far too colorful, and sunny all the time for my personally darker tastes."

Twilight giggled, and said, "Not all the time."

"Trixie doesn't know," Trixie said just to annoy her admirer. "Earlier, there was that couple of weeks where the sun wouldn't go away. Not to mention how it was shaped like a-"

"Okay!" Twilight cried out, hoping to change the subject. "Girls! Look, we're here." They stood before the Centerlot palace entry room. There, at the bottom of the stairs that would lead them first to the library, and then the throne room, Trixie commented, "Last time Trixie was here, it was decorated for the Grand Galloping Gala. Everything looks completely boring now!"

Twilight rolled her eyes, and saw Princess Celestia and Luna coming down from the left wing. They appeared to be headed towards the library. "Princess Celestia!" Twilight yelled, and came running up to greet her mentor. "We've got Emoshy, so now, we'll have to return her, and get our Fluttershy back. What about you? Any luck finding out more about Trollestia's mischief?"

Celestia looked worried, and she didn't hide anything from anypony. "Actually, I have brought Trollestia here to interrogate her myself."

She then continued walking, and everypony else just followed. Everyone including Celestia herself was nervous about Trollestia now being in this very universe. All except for Emoshy, however, who just did what she was told in the hopes of getting back to her own home sooner.

As they trotted by the library, Celestia said, "She's actually this way... By the way, Twilight?"

"Yes, your Highness?" The student asked, feeling as though what Celestia was about to say would be rather important.

"You do realize... this is no longer the definitive universe of Equestria anymore, right?"

Twilight seemed puzzled, and asked, "Can you elaborate?"

Celestia gulped, and said, "Sure... I'll try my best... You see, just like the universe that was tampered with, where Trixie was in charge? That world at one point was diverged from the ultimately correct one. It's no longer ultimately correct, and neither are we. In other words, this universe has been effected in one way or another that will forever change its course of history as compared to what would've actually happened had we could've simply been left well enough alone."

Trixie nodded, and asked, "In other words, there's a universe out there where everything falls into place the way things are always meant to happen. We'll never be able to know what universe that is, though, because even if we tried to visit that universe, we really wouldn't be able to because we'd then just be creating another diverged universe, just as Princess Trollestia's done to us. Not to mention, so many other universes."

As they entered, Celestia concluded, "Correct."

Before them was Trollestia, chained. She was secured in a magic disabling, pink and sparkling bubble. Several unicorn guards kept it running, as well as Molestia herself. "That's it, everypony. That's the ticket," she chanted as moral support. "Make sure this slut doesn't get the chance to- Oh, myself! How have I been???"

Celestia smiled awkwardly, but openly hugged her counterpart while feeling Molestia nonchalantly grope her flank. "Molly! I've been good! These past two months have been something else, but that's alright. What about yourself?"

"Oh, molestation, intimidation. You know, the usual. It's just, nothing seems to work with her." Molestia was quick to redirect the subject of the matter back to their captive. "Our pretty little troll of a mare here just won't lighten up! She just won't tell me a thing, Celestia. Not a thing!"

Celestia peered through the transparent magic. It was like looking through a mirror, except the mare before her had a pink coat rather than white. "She is rather pretty, isn't she?"

Trollestia stopped looking so annoyed for a second, and asked, "What was that?"

Molestia chimed, "Oh, of course she is! I can hardly resist myself at times."

Celestia chuckled, but Trollestia didn't catch on so quickly as to what she was secretly planning. "Tell us, Trollestia...? How ever do you get your complexion to stay so soft, so smooth, and so sexy all the time?"

The trap was set, and the mouse appeared to be taking the bate. "Well, if you must know, I can accommodate you. First, I take some cocoa nut oil, and I mix it with chunks of jazz-grape seeds. Then-"

Celestia cut her off. "How absolutely, and incredibly interesting! I wonder just how you'd react if you were no longer beautiful anymore."

In the blink of an eye, Celestia poured her might through the force field, and onto Trollestia's fragile face. In a matter of seconds, her girly complexity was altered to a grotesque structure. She didn't even look like a normal pony anymore. She looked like an ugly guy, if anything, and sounded like one, too. She frowned with a deadpan expression, and asked, "You're getting desperate, aren't you?"

Celestia came up to the surface to stare at Trollestia's disturbing face, and asked, "Problem?"

Trollestia's eyes went wide with anger. She then asked Princess Celestia, "What?"

"You mad, bro?"

This made the captive's eyebrow twitch ever so slightly. "Stop... I mean it."

"Well, then?! Tell me what you've done! Out with it! Spit it out!"

"NO! Never! You're never going to win this fight! I'll never..."

She stopped her banter for a second, holding her throat, trying desperately to clear it. "Yes?" Celestia asked with a sweet smile.

"Wow, I really do hate this voice, and this face... I think..."

"Yes?"

Trollestia bowed her head in defeat, and said, "I think I'll just cooperate now, if you don't mind. Just, please! Turn me back to normal! I don't want to look like a hideous freak for the rest of my life! This... voice will haunt my nightmares for ages to come, too, if I have to listen to it for another second!"

Celestia advanced closer towards the shield, and demanded, "I want some information first, and then... maybe, I'll think about turning you back to normal."

Trollestia knew not to throw down all her cards onto the table, all at once. She needed to at least keep herself useful, so that she wouldn't be disposed of by Celestia and Luna so quickly. "Let's... strike a solid deal, shall we?"

At that, Celestia commented, "I've been told in the past... Don't deal with the devil. With a case like this, however, I'm willing to make an exception."

"I'll give you slips of precious information here and there, but not all at once. After all, otherwise, what use would you have of me?"

Celestia just looked crossed at the decision she had to make, but nevertheless, she was still kind hearted. "I'm willing to go through with that, but here's the stipulation, Trollestia..."

The mare behind the shield grimaced, and said, "Go on."

"Each slip of information you give us earns you an improvement on the way you look, or the way you sound, and it'll be of your choosing."

Considering this was probably about as much leniency as Celestia was going to provide, Trollestia accepted the terms. "It's a deal! What do you want to know?"

Celestia looked at Molestia with a cocky expression, and then returned her gaze to Trollestia. "Well, let's start from the beginning. We have Emoshy, and we're planning to return her to her world. Then, we'll be returning our Fluttershy back here. Is that all we have to do in order to restore the emo universe of Equestria to it's regular state?"

Trollestia nodded. "Yes, but I can't guarantee any changes made to your Fluttershy due to what world she's been in for such an extended period of time."

At that, Twilight gulped, and wanted desperately to teleport on over to Emoshy's universe then and there. Instead, however, she waited, and listened. Celestia continued to question Trollestia, "As for myself, and my sister, Luna... I want to know where the most probable instance of destruction and mayhem might be that you've caused, and with who, or what?"

Trollestia asked, "Aside from that population of ponies that I teleported to some God forsaken wasteland, and what I did to you and Molestia?"

Celestia nodded, and said, "Yes, aside from what we already know."

"Gee, hmm... I guess that would have to be when I teleported a certain something to Canterba, City of the Sands."

Celestia's ears perked up at this. "You don't mean...?"

Luna asked her sister, "What is it?"

At that, Celestia breathed for a second, and said, "I wondered what could've happened all those years ago, had I not..." She looked at Trollestia, hoping that she would just explain it, and she did.

"You see," Trollestia said. "What was it? Five hundred years ago? Great sand storms from both the east, and the west regions of the planet came raging towards the inlands one day, and had Celestia not stopped it, Canterlot would've been buried. However, Celestia always stops it, no matter which universe it is. Actually, it becomes a quick entry in the newspaper, if anything. Life goes on. It's the same story, no matter which universe you go to. Even mine, but there's just one universe in which she doesn't stop the storms from coming. You'll want to search in that universe."

Celestia mumbled to herself, "Whoever it is, I just hope they're alright."

Trollestia hadn't been smiling much after revealing all of this, but hearing Celestia mistakenly suspect that she had delivered a living, breathing body to Canterba forced Trollestia to chuckle ever so slightly. Although, Celestia still heard her. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing," Trollestia lied.

Celestia then demanded to know, "Also, Trollestia, just who did you teleport to Canterba?"

"I think I've told you enough, actually. You'll have to work with what you've got! Now, your Highness... GIVE ME MY REGULAR VOICE BACK, DAMN IT!"

Celestia groaned while rubbing her ringing ears. "Fine, but later, we'll be back to extract more information. In the mean time, Molly will continue to watch over you." She came over to her alter-ego, and asked Molestia, "Are you sure your sister is alright with running your world for such a prolonged time while you're gone?"

Molestia hoofed at such a silly question. "Psh! Princess Celestia, please. She's probably doing a better job of it right now than I ever could have! You go on. I'll take care of everything else from here."

Celestia thanked herself, and then turned for the door along with her sister. Twilight stopped Trixie from following them, and said, "We'll teleport to Emoshy's universe from within here. Luckily, the spell should work rather easily thanks to all the magic I've managed to build up throughout my travels. All you have to do is try with all your might, and we should be able to take Emoshy with us. After that, you'll probably be able to do this without even breaking a sweat."

Trixie scoffed at Twilight's words, and boasted, "Are you kidding? Do you not realize who you're talking to? Trixie won't even break a sweat this time around! Let's just get this over with, Sparkle."

As the two magically disappeared, Trollestia's regular voice began returning to normal. "Ahh... That's so much better! Hehe..."

Celestia and Luna left the room, and started heading towards the outskirts of town in order to transport to Canterba. They had no idea what the landscape would be like, so to avoid any accidents as best they could, they did their best to locate fairly high grounds. While in the middle of their city, however, just before the two would leave this world to embark on their quest, Celestia experienced an odd occurrence.

She was walking alongside Luna when somepony trotted directly into the back of her, and fell down. "Oof!"

Celestia turned around to see who it could've been, asking, "Are you alright, my little pony?"

It was a female pegasus, pink in color. Celestia also noticed a crystal heart for her cutie mark. "Yeah," she grumbled while getting up from the gravel. "I'm sorry! I'm just late for class!" At first, this mare seemed rather preoccupied with her studies, but upon her seeing just who she'd bumped into, she gasped. "Y-you're Princess Celestia, and you're Princess Luna! I'm... Why, it's just such an honor to meet the two of you, and... I'm so sorry that I ran right into you! Are you alright?"

Celestia hoofed for her to calm down, saying, "Yes, I'm fine." Although, something about this pony seemed different, as if she were important in some peculiar way, but Celestia couldn't quite place her hoof on it. That's when other ponies, presumably the mare's friends began calling out for her.

"Hey, Cadance!"

Celestia's head jerked towards where she'd heard the voices come from. "Cadance?" she asked aloud.

"Come on, Cadance! The Wonderbolts aren't gonna be visiting Canterlot forever!"

"Okay," Cadance shouted back. "Coming right now!"

Celestia then and there knew that she'd seen this mare once before, at some point or another, and something was supposed to happen all those years ago, but it didn't. "Perhaps," she whispered to herself.

"Alright," Cadance said to the Princesses. "I suppose I'll... see the two of you later. It's been such a divine privilege."

She left shortly there after, and Luna then came up to Celestia to ask, "She's interesting to you? Why?"

Celestia shook her head, and commented, "I don't know why, Luna... Look, anyways, we have to go higher than this. Let's not waste anymore time."

Soon, they were outside the city walls, away from the busy streets of Canterlot. Amongst the mountain trails, Celestia and Luna stopped, and agreed with one another that this was a fair altitude to work with. Finally lighting their horns, they slowly began disappearing together in the usual spectrum rays of light. Just like that, the very landscape all around them changed.

Part 2: "It took you two months to finally find me?!"

"It took you two months to finally find me?!"

Meanwhile, Twilight and Trixie transported themselves to Emoshy's home universe. They found themselves inside the throne room, same as before, but everything was decorated differently this time around. Things seemed darker, and much more gothic than before. Although Trixie and Twilight appeared to be fairly freaked out by all the gargoyle statues, and spiderwebs, Emoshy seemed overjoyed to see such familiar surroundings.

"Oh, wow," Emoshy said, some life finally coming into that drab face of her's. "I remember this place...! Can you two, maybe, possibly teleport us to Ponyville?"

Trixie snarled while breathing heavily due to such an ordeal, and said to Twilight, "Trixie's just sure you'll be able to accommodate all three of us on your own, since Trixie's now drained. Don't go thinking you're better than Trixie, though, Sparkle!"

Twilight raised a hoof to signal to Trixie that she wasn't at all appreciative of her words. Twilight stood her ground, and said to Trixie, "Would you just calm down? I swear! I'm trying to make friends with you, and at every turn, you keep on pushing me away."

Trixie rolled her eyes, and pointed out, "You mean you just want to get in bed with Trixie."

Twilight's face was now red, but not from embarrassment. Twilight's face was blistering red thanks to sheer anger. "I... do... NOT! I just have this stupid, mild crush on you, and that's it! In fact, I just realized that I don't even really have the crush on you. I have a crush on some other Trixie from another universe! You're just... rude, and arrogant, and... and..."

Emoshy, being the type of mare she was, laughed to herself as Twilight started tearing up. She decided to sit down, and simply wait for her two escorts to finish their dispute. Trixie even began sighing, knowing just what was to come. "Yes, yes, get it all out of your system," Trixie instructed.

Twilight sobbed, and hard, "Y-you don't care about me! You only care about yourself! About your stupid bits!" This made Trixie pay more attention to what Twilight was saying to her. "You just expect to get paid for this, I bet. Why are you even here? Why am I...?"

Twilight looked at Trixie, piercing her very soul. "Twilight?"

"Why am I doing this with you of all ponies? I could've invited Rarity, or somepony else to help me, but here you are. Why did you volunteer to tag along if antagonizing me was all that you were really planning on doing?"

Trixie gulped, and backed away from Twilight. "Trixie... Just..."

"You just what, exactly? You hate me? You despise me? Oh, Trixie, I know it! I get it by now!" Twilight got even closer, breaking Trixie down as she inched her way up to Trixie's quivering muzzle. "I see it in your eyes just by the way you look at me. You just want to... do something in order to extract your revenge on me, and I didn't even really mean to do anything to you! Why do you hate me so much?" She grabbed hold of Trixie by both of her shoulders, and asked again, "Trixie, why???"

Trixie bit her bottom lip, and grimaced while trying desperately not to make eye contact. "Just... l-let Trixie go, this instant!" Twilight did so, and settled down to see if Trixie would have any such reaction. Instead, Trixie simply stood there, shaken before the two, and for a good second. She breathed in deeply with her eyes closed. Once finished, she slowly stated, "The... Great and Powerful Trixie is trying to... let go of her hatred towards you, but she just... doesn't want this friendship of ours to go further than it really needs to."

Opening her eyes, she looked at Twilight who was now cleaning the tears from one of her cheeks. "Yeah? Well, you know how I feel. I don't mind us just being friends, but don't make my life miserable!"

Trixie nodded, and said, "Trixie supposes... you have a point, though." She held her chest, and said, "Had you not come to Trixie, she probably would've worked hard to collect a whole heap ton of bits, and then Trixie would've probably bought some sort of artifact, or something that would've allow her to carry out her revenge. However, ever since you came to Trixie, she hasn't felt the need to go and do that in a very long time."

Twilight blinked judgmentally a couple of times at that statement, and said, "Right, well, at least you don't want to do that anymore. Anyways, just know that if you keep this up, and if you keep pushing me away when I've done nothing-"

Trixie interrupted Twilight by saying, "Yes! Trixie's got it. It'll be friendly Trixie from here on out. Okay, Twilight?"

Trixie had finished with strain in her voice, as if she really was truly sorry for having an attitude in the first place. To that, Twilight replied, "Alright, sounds good... I'll... mind my distance, though, I think. I mean, considering you want our friendship to not go any further, and all."

Twilight's words cut Trixie deeply, and made her groan while she bit down on her bottom lip that much more. Still, she was able to keep this reaction of her's secret from Twilight. "Trixie doesn't think she'd... mind, though," Trixie began to whisper to herself while Twilight wandered away, out of Trixie's range of hearing, and heading for the door.

Emoshy followed along, and it wouldn't take Twilight but a second to cast her spell. They were now in front of Twilight's library, which just so happened to be destroyed. However, it was apparently still livable inside by the looks of it. Twilight could see a certain dragon leaving and entering the structure. No matter which direction Twilight and Trixie looked, all they saw was despair, and the desolate town of Ponyville. Emoshy went running straight for her cottage, which of course prompted Twilight and Trixie to follow along as well. After all, if Fluttershy really was in this universe somewhere, her cottage would be the first place they'd want to look.

They reluctantly entered the run down excuse of a home, but Emoshy just walked right on in, and with a smile on her face, too. "Huh, it looks like somepony's been cleaning while I was away. I wonder who might've buried Emobunny out front. He died just as I was being teleported, right in the kitchen sink."

Twilight held her head, and had this uncanny feeling that her Fluttershy was probably broken beyond repair from all of the sorrow and despair this universe had to offer. "Oh, please, tell me this can't get any worse!"

All three of them came trotting up the stairs, entered Emoshy's disturbing bedroom, and found none other than their original Fluttershy within, sitting all by herself. She sat specifically in the middle of the room, right in front of the ending of the bed with her back facing the entrance. "Fluttershy?" Twilight asked. "Fluttershy, it's me! It's Twilight, your friend."

"Just go away!" Fluttershy sobbed. "Just go away, Twilight, or Twifight, or... or... whatever your name is! I don't like this joke at all. You've dragged it out, and dragged it out, and even though I begged you to stop, everypony just keeps going day after day! Everypony... is always..."

She began crying even harder, and with no other way to put it, Twilight announced, "You're not in your own universe, though!"

Finally, Fluttershy turned around to face her friends, and upon seeing herself, she gasped. "That's... me...! That can't be me, though, could it?"

Trixie commented snidely, "If you were psycho enough, you could be a lot like her."

Twilight just scorned Trixie with her stared. She then looked back at Fluttershy to explain, "You're in an emotionally disturbed reality of Equestria where basically everypony is emo. Look, I need you to understand... You've have indeed, actually been pranked. Just not by your friends. You were pranked by somepony that we call Trollestia."

"Trollestia?" Fluttershy asked, not having a clue as to who that could be.

"Yes," Twilight replied. "She's a prankster version of Princess Celestia. We're working hard to return everything to normal, so the next step is to get you back home."

Twilight began holding Fluttershy's arm for comfort, but that's when she jerked it away, and asked, "It took you two months to finally find me?!" Fluttershy was surprisingly distraught about her situation. "I've been ridiculed, and depressed for two months, Twilight! I had to bury Angel Bunny! I just... woke up to this nightmare one morning, and I've been stuck here ever since. Wh-what took you so long to finally come and save me, Twilight?"

All the mare could say was, "I'm... sorry, but you have to understand. We actually only just recently found out about your exact location. The important thing that we need to do right now is get you home where it's safe and sound."

Fluttershy looked at her friend, and then Trixie. She nodded in agreement. "I guess you're right. Just... please, get me out of this miserable place!"

The last, disturbing instance Fluttershy would have to suffer through was walking by Emoshy just for her to reveal, "If you hadn't buried that stupid rabbit, I would've cooked him up and eaten him myself, just to let you know."

Fluttershy gasped, offended by such an obscured statement, and hurried her trot. Outside, she, Twilight and Trixie all stood together waiting to teleport themselves back home. "Think you're ready for another go, Trixie?"

"Hah! As if Trixie would allow you to show her up!"

"Uhh," Twilight began, shaking her head. "Trixie? I thought you understood how the spell works. We need two unicorns. No matter how powerful I am, I'll never be able to go to another world all by myself. I need you for this."

Trixie's reaction was typical. "Trixie knows that! She just didn't particularly like your tone of voice is all. You're not better that Trixie, Sparkle!"

All Twilight had to do was look at Trixie a certain way, and the showmare shut herself up nice and hastily. Now, with enough silence in the air for Twilight to be heard loudly enough, she said to Trixie, "If you don't stop it this, I'm going to turn you into a blubbery toad. Do I make myself clear?" Trixie nodded her head rapidly in compliance, and Twilight backed off. Her next words would make Trixie have to reconsider the way she's been treating Twilight as of late. "I don't know what I ever saw in you."

Trixie just shined her horn while holding back her anger, and Twilight did the same. They left that world restored, or at least as close to restored as one might be able to call it. The trees were mangled, and civilization seemed like a bleak subject no matter where they looked, but through it all, rays of sunlight were still able to rip through the foreboding overcast that claimed the skies, and shine light where it could.

Part 2: "We're no longer really able to give a meaningful definition of reality, are we?"

"We're no longer really able to give a meaningful definition of reality, are we?"

The sounds of sloshing water, and the whistling of a cold breeze continuously ringed in Celestia's ears. She trotted closely next to her sister, her vision slowly adjusting to the darkness. There was a calm in the air despite the sounds, and the disturbing smell. She felt as if this could possibly be the last normal trot she'd ever really have.

"Luna?" she asked, her voice echoing in a way that hardly seemed real. "I just wanted you to know... whatever happens, you're always going to be my beloved sister, and that even though we've been through a lot, and even though we're still not done... Won't be for a long time, the way things have been going... Just wanted you to know, I'm going to make this right. I'm going to find a way to fix everything. Even if it kills me."

Luna simple nodded, and looked at Celestia through a hazy fog. "How could you fix this, though? We won't ever truthfully know just how many worlds Trollestia has corrupted. Even if she tells us that we've cleansed them all, we can't believe her, can we?"

Celestia gulped, and pointed out, "How could we ever trust somepony such as her?" She then asked a question that would repeat itself every so often in her life. "How did she even get that way?"

Luna offered, "It couldn't have been natural. Another good question is, what do we do with her once this is over?"

Celestia gulped, and even though she wished to skip that conversation, she knew it was something she'd have to take care of eventually. She stopped before a ladder at the end of the sewer, and revealed, "If I have to, I'll sentence her to death myself."

They both then ascended only to arrive in the most divine, and elegant throne room they'd ever seen. The trap door was located right behind the throne itself, and the two rounded the seat to get a better look at everything. In the middle of such eastern greatness, Celestia and Luna both relished at the architecture all around them. Luna commented to her sister, "We're no longer really able to give a meaningful definition of reality, are we?"

Celestia shook her head, and said, "After all of this, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out that none of this is real." They both peered down each of the halls, and Celestia commented, "If it's anything like the original Canterlot, then my room would be this way. We can only guess that whatever Trollestia has brought here, searching my quarters first would probably be the most logical thing to do."

Princess Celestia took off, and despite this palace being much more decorated than her own, she also noticed very few ponies guarding it. "This makes for an easy investigation, but why the lack of able steeds?" Celestia asked in her thoughts.

Luna followed along, but her sister seemed hurried. She kept her pace at a quick, steady beat. "Wait for me," Luna finally said.

"Very well," Celestia chimed even though she barely slowed down her speed at all. They went by what would've been Twilight's secondary room, but saw it was instead in use as extra space for simple storage. They also would be tempted to see what the library looked like, but neither allowed themselves to be distracted. They eventually reached the end, and entering Celestia's other worldly room, they both could see very little difference. In fact, Celestia's room was probably one of the most familiar sights in this whole universe.

There were only a few things that were off, such as all the golden tapestries hanging on practically all of the walls, and there were small statues of elephants placed about here and there. Celestia searched the left side, and then the right side, but she didn't find much of anything herself. However, Luna had already spotted something, and had been staring at it from the moment she entered. it seemed even more out of the ordinary than the tapestries, and the elephant statues. Before Celestia's bed, sitting with a blanket covering it was a basket big enough for a grown colt.

Luna came up to it right after Celestia had finished her turn. "Sister?"

"Yes, Luna? You found something? Because I didn't find anything."

As the mare's blue hoof unveiled the blanket, the two of them gasped. In the basked was a fast asleep baby dragon. Spike lifted his head, and looked at the two with raised eyebrows. "Y-you couldn't be... Could you?" he asked, pointing a finger.

"Spike? You're who we're here to save?" Celestia asked.

"What?" Spike asked, getting out of his basket. "I've been missing for about two months now, and nopony's wondered where I've been? Not even Twilight?"

Celestia said, "On the contrary, Twilight's working hard as well to restore everything to normal, too. We knew you were gone, but what we didn't know was how to go about searching for you."

Luna came up to Spike. "We're actually here because we were told where to find you. Trollestia teleported you here as a prank, and-"

"No she didn't!" Spike spoke up suddenly. "Nopony could've even see me! She did manage to snag something important looking, though."

"Wait," Luna commanded. "If we're not here to retrieve you, then just who are we supposed to be saving?''

Spike blinked with a confused expression, and said, "What do you mean, who? Like I said, there's no way Trollestia saw me when I jumped into her portal while she was delivering whatever she had picked up."

Celestia's ears perked at this, and she then asked, "What did she deliver, Spike?" She then held her chin, realizing, "Trollestia didn't say somepony... she said something, didn't she?"

Spike scratched the back of his head, and said, "I can't describe it to you, because I don't really know what it was. Y'see, I was delivering some books about old world fashion that Rarity wanted to read up on. That's when the sun was rising in the form of a... Well, you know. I was busy taking care of the library while Twilight was away at Canterlot, if you recall, and during that travel, Trollestia showed up. She..."

"Yes?" Celestia asked eagerly.

"She began chasing this old, little pony from south eastern Equestria around town, and eventually made him fall. He dropped some red, and black rock."

"Rock?" Celestia asked. "That's the best way you can describe it?"

"It looked... like a carving of an alicorn."

Celestia gasped, and Luna asked her, "You don't think it could be...?"

Celestia nodded. "It's the alicorn amulet. So, that's what we're actually after. I'll have to deal with Trollestia from deceiving me later on when we all get back home." That's when they all heard hoof steps coming from beyond the door that Celestia and Luna had entered from. In less than a second, Luna turned herself and Celestia invisible, leaving Spike to deal with his master while they watched with great attention aimed towards this world's true leader.

Empress Celestia came in wearing a full torso suit of gold armor, and extended her wings while wearing the kindest of smiles. However, this did not make Spike relax one bit. If anything, he appeared to be more shaken by her greeting him. "Hello there, Spike. How might you be today?"

He just bawled up his fists, and clenched them to his sides, and tried not to break under pressure. "Uhh... just fine! Thanks for... asking... H-how're you doing, your Highness?"

This world's Celestia appeared angered by this, and it showed in her tone of voice. "I'd be doing better... if you'd learn how to call me by my actual title! It's not your Highness. It's your Majesty! Get it right. I'm greater than a regular alicorn! Or, have you forgotten why that is?"

Spike scratched the back of his head, and said, "Because... you defeated Nightmare Moon, and saved the world from disaster."

Celestia walked by her pet, and said, "That's right, my dragon... You're lucky I found it entertaining to have something such you be my slave. Tell me, Spike, do you know how I did it?"

Spike shook his head, and said, "You never tell me whenever I ask. That's why I've stopped asking."

Celestia nodded, and replied sweetly, "I appreciate that, which is why I'll entrust you with that information now. You see, another universe version of myself came to me while I wandered the far off wastes. I was in need of help at the time, and when I saw her, it was astounding. Her coat was a brilliant color that I rarely see these days. It was pink! She gave me a present, and told me that I was destined to stop Luna."

"What was the present?" Spike pressed onwards.

"It was this!"

Empress Celestia yanked the alicorn amulet from behind her suit of armor that hid it from everypony's sight, and dangled the thing from its neckless. Spike gasped, and asked, "What's that?"

"The alicorn amulet, stupid! I've been wearing it for years now, and it's made me the strongest mare in existence. I've even conquered that sandstorm that everypony made a big deal about. Look at my realm!" Her smile wasn't at all sweet, and kind anymore. Instead, she now looked utterly crazy. "Slavery has returned things to normal, and Canterba will soon be a city that thrives again. I've saved everypony!"

The real Celestia gagged in silence. She wasn't sure which Celestia she hated more. Trollestia, or Emress Celestia? Spike then asked her, "But, your Majesty, sources of actual food has become scarce, right? In fact, rumor on the street is that the unicorn market branch has started selling fake fish! More and more corpses show up everyday in the streets, and usually, the cause of death is determined to be either starvation, or dehydration. How can you possibly think this world is doing better and better, when it's been doomed ever since those storms hit us?!"

The Empress just stood there, and bit mortified at his words. That was mostly because she knew that her slave was right. "I'd advise you to hold your tongue," Celestia said, red aura seeping from her eyelids. They stopped after a second or two, and Celestia put her amulet away. "I won't tolerate such an outburst... You know, Spike?"

"What's that?" Spike asked, instinctively raising his arms in defense.

"Your usefulness has come to an end."

In the blink of an eye, a sharp, golden knife that had been sitting behind the Empress on one of her dressers magically came lunging by her, and was headed straight for Spike's heart. Were it not for Princess Celestia's magic shielding Spike's entire being, stopping the attack, the dragon would've been killed instantly. Empress Celestia backed away, and looked around the room in confusion. Spike stayed protected, and the Princesses still remained hidden, but they wouldn't be for long. Using a lot of her might, her Majesty created a wide-spread burst of magic that overpowered Luna's invisibility spell.

They were visible once again, and both of them came forth from the shadows to stand next to the well guarded dragon. Luna spoke first. "Fiend! You have no idea what that relic is doing to you!"

The Empress rolled her eyes, and asked, "What's it doing to me? Besides that, who are you? I thought I left my sister dead for good, and you!" She pointed to herself. "How dare you impersonate me! I'll have you know, I'll murder you for this!"

Princess Celestia just rolled her eyes, unamused by the empty threats thrown at her by Empress Celestia. "I'll have you know, your Majesty... I'm more powerful than you could ever imagine. And, my sister's right. You don't know what you're dealing with, because I hadn't heard much about the alicorn amulet myself until after that storm came to pass. You see, I'm from another universe where I've stopped the storm from threatening Equestria. You, however, did not. Your world's alicorn amulet was lost in the sands of time. Empress Celestia," Princess Celestia announced. "You've been tricked."

"Tricked how?"

"Another universe version of myself delivered unto you that amulet, but what she didn't tell you is this... The longer you wear it, the more corrupt, and evil you become. You simply must stop wearing it at once!"

Empress Celestia backed away from her approaching self, and said, "I d-don't want to. I believe you, but I've done so many bad things... You don't understand why I continue to wear it even when I know that now. I'm scared that if I take it off, I won't be able to cope with my surroundings anymore."

Princess Celestia at the time figured the Empress was just being stubborn, and began reaching for the amulet while explaining, "You're an Empress. This land needs you! Although, what they don't need is a tyrant, so we need you to give us the amulet."

She grabbed hold of it, and so did its owner. Emress Celestia looked at herself with sweat forming on her forehead, and said, "Don't! If you do..."

"You'll go back to being good, and then, the world will see true harmony once more. Just... give the alicorn amulet over to me." Her Majesty reluctantly did so, and the second such a thing left her side, Empress Celestia's eyes released a quick, but strong, red aura. She then looked all around, and gulped with a heavy conscience. "There," her other self said with a warm smirk. "You'll first want to atone for allowing slavery to be legal, and then-"

"I can't do it..."

"What?" Celestia asked, puzzled by the Empress's statement.

"I can't believe... I allowed myself to kill my very own sister. Oh, Luna... She asked for forgiveness before she died, and I didn't give it to her." She then began to cry. "This is why I didn't want to take it off. I c-can't... I just can't live like this! Canterba... Equestria... It's all ruined! Wh-what's the point of living if my world will forever be in pieces?!"

Celestia slowly began placing the alicorn amulet down on the bed. "Empress Celestia, please... Calm down, because now, you can start making this world better."

The fellow alicorn just glanced away, and down at the floor below her, and said, "You know what? You're right. I think I'll start by removing myself from this picture."

What happened next could only be described as a tragedy. Luna was fortunate, because all she did was see herself already dead. To see one's self from another universe actually die, however, was ten times worse. Celestia would never feel the same way after witnessing herself take a thin string of cosmic might, and sending it straight through her very own neck. Empress Celestia had justly committed suicide, and soon, Princess Celestia would notice herself feeling rather bizarre. Her vision became blurry, and her body became numb, but not as much as her other self. Empress Celestia slowly fell to the floor. Everything for Princess Celestia, however, still hurt beyond description. Mostly, it was her mind that was sent into a new world of torture.

She screamed, and shouted in a terrible manner. "That... Can't... BE!!!"

Luna and Spike backed away from her as static overtook Celestia's body. "S-sister," Luna stuttered. "Oh, no! This must be what happened to me when I saw myself dead!"

Celestia came trotting up to her dead corpse, confused, and bantered, "Did that... just happen? No! It couldn't have! I'm right here, but then, I'm not. It did happen! I'm dead!"

She turned around, and blood began leaking freely from not only her nose, but her ears as well. Celestia questioned Luna while not really looking at either of them, "Yet, I'm not dead, am I?"

Luna gulped, and attempted to shake her sister out of the trance. "You must calm yourself. Please, sister, snap out of it."

"But... I'm dead!" Celestia cried, still jumping in and out of static every so often. She turned around long enough to allow Luna the chance to grab hold of an elephant with her magic. "How can I possibly be-"

Clank!

Luna made her strike clean and quick, knocking Celestia to the floor. Luna checked to make sure her sister was just passed out, which she was. In Celestia's dreams, she would remember asking herself over and over again, "What's going on?"

Both Luna and Spike would tend to her while she fell in and out of momentary insanity. All throughout the night, she appeared to blink in and out of existence entirely. Static surrounded her constantly, and it wouldn't leave Celestia's body until sunrise. Luna took charge of Empress Celestia's single most important task of the day. Luckily, thanks to all the teleporting they had been doing from one universe to another, Luna was able to carry out this chore rather easily. The next time Celestia would awaken, she'd have the most uncomfortable of headaches, but at the very least, the terrible experience would be over for her. However, it would have lasting side effects.

Part 2: "Thank you... for not being a complete, and one hundred percent jerk in my life."

"Thank you... for not being a complete, and one hundred percent jerk in my life."

It was strange for Princess Celestia, waking up that morning only to start remembering what her previous day had been like in that world. This caused a very little drop of blood to come squeezing out of her ear, but that was about it for the time being. Then, she recalled separating herself from other ponies just in order to avoid harming them. That's why there weren't many guards, either. She could also remember murdering her sister, and then laughing about it. All the while, inside, Empress Celestia never even wanted to do such a thing. Her situation was complex, but that was no excuse for Canterba's Celestia to behave so poorly, and all because of her carelessness.

As Celestia got to her hooves, and quivered, she said, "Not only am I able to remember many details of her life, but I'm also able to remember her death, too... This is just... Ugh," she groaned, and held her throbbing head. "Two memories, both in the same place... It's just baffling how this can be. How can I be..."

She gasped, and held her mouth again, feeling the blood dripping all the way down to her chin. Spike walked in, but Celestia was too preoccupied with her current situation to really care. He hastily jumped at her, and yelled. He then ran off only to come right back with a while towel in his clutches. "Here you go, your Highness. Use this to dab it... Are you alright?"

Celestia nodded, and then held her head back to try and stop the bleeding more effectively. "I'd be better if I knew which Celestia I was."

Spike just backed up, and gulped. It took him a good second to answer, but when he did, Spike showed himself to be more worried than Celestia had ever heard him sound. "You're our Celestia. You're Princess Celestia. Come back to us, your Highness..."

"Spike, I'm fine! I just... This is... You know what? Forget it. We don't have time for this. Do we at least have the amulet?"

Spike nodded, and smiled. "Here it is," he said while presenting the trinket to his Highness.

She grabbed hold of it with her magic, and then asked, "Now, where's Luna?"

"I'm right here," Luna said while coming from the balcony window. She gestured for her sister to join her, and Celestia did so. Outside, they looked amongst the vast, sandy lands, and Luna said to her justly awoken sibling, "Nopony will know for days that their Empress has died. In the mean time, we can't just leave this world with the day only, obviously. What should we do?"

Celestia, in all her glory, breathed. She looked up at the star that scorched the world they were visiting, and then at the setting moon far off in the distance. "I suppose it's possible... that we could..."

"Yes?" Spike asked, joining them.

"We could just... permanently lock the sun and the moon so that they wouldn't need us any longer."

Luna just glanced at her sister, and remarked, "That... could take up a lot of our energy."

Celestia brought forth the alicorn amulet, and suggested, "Not if I use this to do it with."

Luna's eyes widened at the notion, and complained, "That's a terrible idea! You'll become corrupted, just like Empress Celestia was! I can't believe you'd even think of going through with such an idea."

Celestia pursed her lips in aggravation, as if Luna had though she'd lost her mind or something. "No, Luna," Celestia said softly. "You've got it all wrong. The moment I'm done with the alicorn amulet, I'd take it off. I wouldn't keep it on! I'd be in complete control. I wouldn't even be able to wear it long enough in order for it to really have any effect on me. Now, I'm going to equip the alicorn amulet. Are you ready to assist me, or do I have to do it by myself?"

Luna scoffed, but knew Celestia had things under control, and said, "It's dangerous, but I'm right beside you."

Thus, together, they forced a mighty spell upon Equestria's moon and sun, bringing them into everlasting alignment, and constant, circular motion. After such a feat, Luna collapsed while Celestia just removed the amulet from around her neck. She seemed highly weakened, and panted. Spike and Celestia carried Luna to the bed, and when she woke up next, they would be ready to leave Canterba behind. There was nothing left for them in the world of Canterba.

Meanwhile, Twilight and Trixie waited in the castle. After a trip the likes of which they had experienced, Twilight and Trixie both felt the need to distance one another. Twilight could be found in the library catching up on her studies, and Trixie could be found in one of the ballrooms that the palace had to offer. Trixie was busy with drinking some coffee to keep herself up during the earlier hours of the morning. That's when Celestia, Luna and Spike would return. It would be a bitter sweet victory for Celestia, though. Even when entering the throne room once more in order to consult Trollestion, she still felt uneasy.

"Look," Celestia said to Luna just before coming inside. "I may not feel too well, but at the same time, It needs to be me that deals with her. Let me do this... alone."

Luna bowed to her sister, and left. Entering, Celestia told Molestia and the guards to lower the shield. "Are you sure that's wise?" Molestia asked.

Celestia nodded darkly, and the task was carried out. Trollestia and Celestia was left to themselves. Celestia stared at herself with squinted eyebrows, but Trollestia just smirked, and asked rather bluntly, "Did you have fun finding who I sent there?" She laughed, and commented, "Or, did you not even get it at first?"

Celestia breathed, and tried her best to calm herself down, and said, "I guess I must've misheard you say somepony when you really said something. Didn't you? Isn't it odd, though, that I still ended up finding my world's Spike in my universe?"

Trollestia blinked, her smile going away. "Huh?"

"Oh yes, that's right," Celestia said with the most unpleasant of glares. "You allowed my Twilight's dragon to be put in great harm. He followed you into one of your portals without you even knowing about it. Because of your negligence, he almost had a knife go through his tiny, innocent heart on your account."

The troublesome mare just laughed at the revelation. "What do I care? There's probably thousands of ponies that died all because of me!"

Celestia snarled, "I'd keep such suspicions to myself if I were you, which I am, so can it!" She gritted her teeth before calming down as best she could, and said, "Here's why."

Trollestia simply stared at her other self, and asked, "Why?"

"Because... I've found out something curious. You see, Trollestia, if one of us dies before the other, then whoever the witness is will also gain all of the dying mare's memories. In short, if I kill you, I'll be able to fix everything much more easily that way. As compared to having you cooperate, that sounds like a much better option. The question is whether or not to go through with such an act of savagery?"

Trollestia blinked nervously, and glanced at one of the nearby, closed window. She knew, however, that escape wasn't an option. "You... can't possibly believe that's how it works!" She hiccuped, "H-how can you even think such a thing would be successful???"

Celestia just inched closer, and closer, looking into her own eyes. "Because, Empress Celestia killed herself directly before me, and now, I have all of her memories."

Trollestia screamed, caught off guard by the news. "She committed suicide?! A-and you WATCHED?"

"Yes," Celestia announced loudly. "I don't understand it all too well myself, but it seems that when this happens... Like, if I were to kill you, I'd gain all of your memories as well. There was so much trauma within my brain, that I started bleeding out of my nose, and my ears, Trollestia. Do you have any idea how much that ached? To have two memories? Some of the time, I can barely remember which Celestia I am. Because of this, I sometimes don't know which Celestia I hate more!"

Trollestia was truthfully frightened by all of this, and it showed in her quick breathing, and the way Celestia now had her up against a wall. If that wasn't evidence enough that Celestia had finally broken through to her, Trollestia also began offering, "Look, I'll cooperate! I'll tell you everything! I'll tell you where I sent that colony of ponies! I'll even tell you everything I've done before you turn my ugly mug back to normal! You don't even have to do that! Please, just don't kill me!"

Celestia backed away, and stated, "I haven't decided to do that yet! Look, we're going to keep our original deal going, same as before. The only difference is that this time, you can NOT leave out any details. I want the scoop on the next hardest world to restore, and I want it now."

Trollestia simply nodded, and offered, "Well, yeah, sure... I can do that, but wouldn't it be nicer if I just gave you the specifications for something a little less stressful for right now? Hmm?"

Celestia shook her head, and threatened Trollestia, "If you don't get to it in the next five seconds, nopony will be able to recognize you ever again."

Trollestia huffed, and commented, "I'm so dead, then..." Nevertheless, she followed orders, and started spilling the beans for Celestia's next assignment. "The world of Los Cantos it is...! It's a dangerous one. It's a modern looking city, much like your Las Pegasus, or Manehattan. However, it's been cursed. Crime is free to roam over there. Ponies can die, but they'll just come back someplace close by to where they had gotten wasted. They can't give up their desire for... certain things, either. Places to live in, things to use for transportation, instruments of mass murder. The list goes on and on."

"What're you saying?" Celestia asked.

"I'm saying," trollestia hopefully voiced freely, "Celestia! This place is bad business for you and your team! The Celestia that rules Los Cantos with an iron hoof has doomed her world. She did it during a time that nopony can remember. Since then, Canterlot became something of an outlawed nation. It's now called Los Cantos, and life there is scary, and yet, it can be fun. You'll be looking for Starswirl's notebook. The very same notebook that holds his incomplete spell. The one you were planning on one day giving to Twilight as a test."

Celestia seemed annoyed by that last statement, but this wouldn't stop her from going forth, and carrying out the mission. Still, as she turned around, she couldn't help but to at least thank Trollestia in a way. "Thank you... for not being a complete, and one hundred percent jerk in my life."

Trollestia warned her other self, "You should reconsider, then! I can still be your friend! After all, if that-"

"Shut up," Celestia said harshly.

"What?" Trollestia asked, offended.

"We'll never be friends. You have no friends here. What you've done... There's no coming back from it. You'll pay, eventually. I don't even know why I'm sparing you for the moment, come to think of it. This whole thing would blow over so much more smoothly, probably, if I just watched you die. So, if I were you, which I am... I'd give myself the necessary information that I needed, and absolutely nothing else."

Trollestia lowered her ashamed head, and said, "Yes, ma'am."

Celestia left, and Trollestia momentarily lost herself in thought. Had she realized what was actually going on around her, she might've taken a chance, and escaped. However, she didn't even look up from the ground in all that time. Trollestia just kept staring blankly at the floor, thinking about a certain decision in her life that she was beginning to regret. By the time she spoke, it would be too late, and the shield would be back up.

Trollestia looked all around her. She looked at the troops, and then at Princess Molestia. Then, she whispered to herself, "I never should've drank that pink potion inside Starswirl's hidden cellar."

Celestia trotted alone, all the way to the outskirts of town where a waterfall could be both seen and heard. She reached a fairly soft, and grassy hill, and before getting started on her next journey, she took the time to find sanctuary in all of this. She took off her golden hoof shoes,, too, and her crystal neck piece. Finally, her crown, and she then placed them next to her while she rested. She didn't smile at all. She couldn't. Celestia just kept sighing, and wishing for the easy way out.

"Perhaps, that's the only way out this time. How am I supposed to go through with it, though? It just... seems wrong, even when I know Trollestia is better off dead, and that's what'll happen to her by the end of this, I still don't want to go through with it! Although, I'll get all the answers I need. Maybe more, so how do I choose?"

She looked all around, and sighed yet again. "Perhaps," she speculated. "Maybe... it's what's meant to be done, but still, I wish there was another way. There has to be! We can't just jump from world to world, trying to fix them all. That's not even truly restoring them. Besides, what about that colony of ponies Trollestia has doomed? Is there even an actual way that Luna and I could possibly undo something as chaotic as that? No, what we need is a solution to all the world's problems. I need..."

She stood, and started putting back on her hoof shoes while promising herself, "I need to find out what that solution is."

Twilight was coming her way, just over a far off hill, so Celestia made herself appropriate onceagain. "Hey," Twilight yelled. As she came up to greet her mentor, she explained, "Luna just got done telling me about how you two had recently got back, so I came looking for you. Any news on which universe we'll be exploring next?"

Celestia told Twilight about what she knew, and when the notebook came up, Celestia also chose not to withhold any information from her pupil. Twilight then asked the Princess, "You mean, it was supposed to be a test to see if I had what it took to be an alicorn?!"

Celestia nodded with grief. "It was going to be so perfect, too. I'll just have to figure something else out, or just turn you into an alicorn and be done with it. These days, I'm preferring the latter."

Twilight shrugged, and said, "Whatever works best for you. I guess Luna could use a break after all of that, and I don't even feel like interacting with Trixie, but what about you? Are you sure you're up to another multiverse ordeal?"

Celestia only glanced away from Twilight's sight for a brief moment. She then looked Twilight right in the eyes, and said, "I have to be."

The two of them then got themselves ready for the voyage ahead. They also informed everypony of what was happing, and then decided to make the library their primary place to use as a teleportation station. Little did Celestia, Twilight, or anypony else know that this world would be the penultimate world Celestia would have to intrude upon.

Ending Segments: "Is it someone new?"

Ending Segments: "Is it someone new?"

Celestia wasn't sure of what the outcome of this voyage could mean, so she left a note for Twilight in case she ever woke up. It told her everything she'd need to know. That was the last memory that ran through her mind before teleporting. They came out from their world, and into the new one, and Celestia looked around before saying, "I suppose we can try to locate the proper lighthouse."

Trixie breathed, and asked, "You don't know which one it could be? Just how many major lighthouses are there in this world?"

Celestia calmed Trixie down by saying, "There's probably the same amount as there is in our world, which is fourteen."

Trixie asked, "Trixie would imagine that you know of a spell so that we might locate your mirror, right?"

At that, Celestia shook her head, but that didn't stop her from trying. "I could try and use a magnetic search... For anything above ground..."

Her horn glistened ever so slightly. Then, she pointed her vision towards a few hills, and Trixie began trotting. "This way, you think?"

Celestia nodded, and came walking up by her. It wouldn't take them long to reach a lonesome beach. Everything about this world seemed lonesome. However, there still rested a boat for ponies to use as transportation. Off in the distance, the island that the lighthouse sat upon could just barely be made out. Celestia gestured for Trixie to get in, and Trixie just backed away while looking up at the sky. "What is it?" Celestia asked her.

"Is the sky always like this...?"

Celestia took the time to stare up at the clouds above her, and did a one eighty while trying to find a break. There was none, however. Instead, it was a pure overcast. On the ground, everything around them was a mass jungle, but to know that civilization itself was just above them was a different feeling for Celestia. "It... must be, Trixie. Come along, my pony. We need to get over there. It looks like it's about to rain."

Trixie hopped in the boat after Celestia, and said, "With the way the weather is around here, it always looks like it's about to rain."

The sail to the lighthouse was long, but luckily they stayed dry. In time, they would reach the ladder that would lead them to the docks. Up the circular stairs they went, and once inside, Celestia commented, "Now, where's that mirror of mine?"

Just before the door, decorated upon the podium in the middle of the room was the offering bowl, and something was glistening inside of it, undoubtedly Celestia's trinket. Slowly, she picked it up with her magic, but then threw it to the floor. "Trixie supposes we don't really need that, huh?"

Celestia sighed, and admitted, "I don't plan on us coming back. Come on, let's..." She stopped to read what was above the offering bowl. These words were written neatly, as if it were a painting. "Passage into the city will start with rebirth as an earth pony. No alicorns, no pegasi, no unicorns. Don't come unless you're ready to pursue this true freedom."

Celestia looked to Trixie, and she shrugged. "Go on up the stairs."

Celestia nodded with a bit of fear creeping over her, but asked while walking, "This seems rather odd, don't you agree? How are we supposed to get into Equestria from a lighthouse?"

They reached the second floor where another sign could be found. This time, Trixie read it. "No alicorns should enter, because no alicorns exist anymore. Not since Star Swirl..." She choked while saying, "Not since they sacrificed themselves to save the world. He used the power he had collected from them to ascend the city. This would freeze the sun and the moon in place, and the city would then travel around the world instead. The removal of the alicorn princesses also made Star Swirl the Bearded nervous towards ponies having the ability to freely experiment with magic. Others will have the luxury of experimenting with better alternatives such as electricity, and chemicals to replace magic without the distraction of real magic to sate everypony's needs."

Celestia scoffed, "Sounds like ever since the city took off, he's become more and more dramatic. Think of that for a minute... Preserving the right to play with actual magic all to himself. He hasn't changed. He never was all that..."

"Friendly?" Trixie finished for Celestia. "Trixie had hoped he would be more keen to helping."

Celestia said, "He'll help me. He always does his best. It's just... give a mere pony the world, and who knows what they'll do with it. This world's Celestia must not've had any other choice."

Trixie offered, "Like Trixie's said before, we'll just have to see." She then proceeded up the third fleet of stairs with Celestia close behind her. The last room had one more message hanging on the wall. "If an alicorn ever does enter, and they're found out, they will be viewed as a false alicorn amongst Star Swirl the Bearded's fair city. All will pursue them, for magic is what almost destroyed everything so long ago. No longer will that type of magic enter this realm without the immediate consent of Star Swirl the Bearded."

Celestia said, "I guess I'll have to not draw too much attention to myself. Or, if there's a chance I'd be able to take advantage of, I might just reveal myself." She looked at Trixie, and said, "It all depends."

They continued to the top where the stairs went on further than before. When they finally did reach the peak, Trixie looked out at the vast land, and said, "I don't think this is going to work."

Celestia gulped, and looked at the bells that dangled below the light that was located in the middle. Slowly, her hoof trembled to the first which had the number one written above it. She rang it once...

Jingle

Then, she came over to the second bell which had the number two above it. The third bell also had the number two written above it, so she rang the bells accordingly.

Jingle Jingle

Jingle Jingle

The sky itself responded to this after a second or two of them waiting. It lit up in several pretty colors, and repeated the exact same tone Celestia had performed. The whole planet seemed to shake as it sounded. Once it was done, she then heard the light of the structure flicker on and off in the same rhythm, and again, the sky hummed. What happened next to say the least was startling to both Celestia and Trixie. The wall with bells on it lowered like a door, as did the light inside as well. Instead of now being blinded, the inner space was a much more cozier looking resting area for the two to enjoy.

Although something was off about this to Celestia, Trixie just wandered right on in. Along the sides were red cushioned seats for them to sit on, and Trixie took advantage of this without a moment's wait. Celestia still stayed outside, waiting to have a legitimate reason to go inside there. "Trixie," she exclaimed in a panic. "Come back! We don't know what this is!"

Trixie hoofed at her Princess, and said, "It's probably going to take us up, and into the city. Isn't that obvious?"

Celestia avoided eye contact, and explained, "I just... I'm intimidated by this. I don't want to get myself involved in something that I can't get out of."

Trixie extended her hoof, and said, "Come on over here then, because here's reason number one... Twilight needs us. Equestria needs us. So, let's go."

Celestia inhaled deeply, but then caved in, and came in to sit with Trixie. That's when the intercom sounded above their heads. "Dear passengers, mind the entry." The door on the far side of the room closed slowly with steam slipping through the cracks, and it continued. "Bliss is a city of ingenuity, inspiration, and ambition. With the removal of magic as a distraction, ponies are able to pursue other, more diverse methods of magic. Such as technology, and more."

The walls around them must've been sound proof, because all of the sudden, they were taking off with a red flare following beneath their capsule. However, there wasn't a sound except the intercom. They went higher, and higher, until they finally reached the clouds. Soon, they'd emerge from this, and see what Star Swirl is really capable of. Bliss was a town like no other.

Everything from as far as the eye could see, Equestria stretched, and mixed with itself like never before above the clouds. Parts of manehattan was linking with pieces of Las Pegasus, and more. It was remarkable, and although what Celestia and Trixie got to see was a lot to take in, they wouldn't have time to fully see it all. Not just yet. They began descending slowly, and landed, only to start sinking. Lower, and lower into some unknown building they went, until finally, they reached the bottom. The doors opened suddenly, the same way they did earlier, and the intercom said, "Welcome. Mind your step."

They did so, and came out. The room was wide, and it had a painting of Star Swirl taking up the whole entire far wall. Above it, on a golden banner, Celestia read, "To stop our world from ending, it had to be done. With their permission, I brought the world up from the brink."

Trixie rolled her eyes, and said, "Yeah, we get it. The city floats, and you're super awesome, and all that. He'd better be able to help us!"

Celestia walked by Trixie, and headed down a set of circular stairs. "Come on, then. The faster we get this over with, the sooner we can go searching for him."

the further down they went, the more Celestia noticed water seeping through the stairs to give it a special feeling. Also, it made them slow down in order for them to walk more carefully, and to look around. On the walls they went by, it listed all of Star Swirl's friends in stained glass. There was Mistmane, and Rockhoof together. Flash Magnus was next, all by himself. Then, finally, Somnambula and Mage Meadowbrook.

Further and further, Celestia and Trixie wandered, until they finally reached a wide, and open room. The floor was like a small pool, where the water only went up to Trixie's knees, if that. Further towards what must've been the entrance to the city was a much bigger body of water, and several ponies who were all dressed in white gowns. They all prayed around somepony dressed in black, where the water went up to his chest. He continued to chant, "And every year on this day of days, we pay homage to our fair unicorn, Star Swirl. Lo, if this unicorn hadn't vanquished the freshly developing darkness long ago before it could have acquired a vessel, it would have been enough. If this unicorn had just vanquished the darkness, but not accepted the gifts of his fellow dying ponies to experiment with as en elixir of life, it would have been enough..."

Celestia came closer, as did Trixie, and the unicorn asked quietly, "How long could this speech be?"

"If this unicorn had accepted the gifts of his fellow ponies, and not requested aid from the Princesses themselves, it would have been enough. If this unicorn had only requested help from the Princesses, and didn't bother to take us to this new kingdom, it would have been enough. If this unicorn had just led us to this new kingdom, and not warned the Princesses of the even more dangerous threat that was looming, it would have been enough. If this unicorn had only warned the Princesses of the looming threat, and not helped them in sacrificing themselves to stop the madness, it would have been enough. If this unicorn had just stopped the madness, and not used the left over energy to finally lift everything else up as well, it would have been enough!"

Finally, he stopped, and Celestia tapped somepony on the shoulder to get their attention. As one by one began moving out of the Princess's way, the two of them came up to the pastor, and he only blinked at her with white spots in his eyes.

"Is it someone new?" he asked aloud. "Someone from the nothingness that is below us all? You two are newly coming to Bliss, the city that sails high above the clouds. You must be here to wash away your horns, and your wings as worship to this unicorn, his fellow ponies, and our lord?"

Celestia blinked, and asked, "Our lord? Without alicorns, there are no lords. There are only ponies."

The pastor laughed, and said, "You don't seem to be of faith. In time, you'll understand, but there's such a thing here... called God. This higher being is what we pray to, because that's the very being Star Swirl believes in. Ever since the passing of the alicorns, ponies have gripped onto things they can believe in. He gave us that perspective."

Celestia sighed, and said, "We just need passage into the city."

The preacher shook his head while rubbing his chin, and asked rhetorically, "Passage to the city? Ha-ha. Sister... The only way into Bliss is through rebirth in these sweet waters." He extended a hoof to the two of them, and Celestia just bit her bottom lip while grunting. Trixie, however, came right on up. Celestia watched as this preacher dunked Trixie sideways without so much as a word. Then, his hooves came up, but not Trixie. Celestia looked around, and under the water, but she was just gone.

Again, the preacher extended his hoof to her. Underneath her breath, she whispered, "It's either this or turn around and get back on that rocket."

Once their hooves connected at last, Celestia heard one of the others boldly exclaim, "Praise the lord."

She was reeled in, and the preacher held Celestia close, feeling her wings while observing her horn. "Uh-huh..."

"Hey," Celestia said, trying to get him to loosen up on her.

He refused to cooperate, though, and said to the others as if this were part of his original speech, "I baptize you now, in the name of this unicorn, in the name of his fellow ponies, and in the name of our Lord!"

Down Celestia went, and into the holy water. She gargled a little as some liquids got into her mouth and nostrils. Then, up she came, coughing and gagging. Something wasn't right about this water.

"Make her born again, in the bosom of Bliss..."

Celestia felt different, but the slow and sudden feeling of it all wouldn't compare to the sensation that was coming next. "I... c-can barely..."

"I don't know, brothers and sisters, but this one doesn't look clean to me!"

This time, he grabbed her by the maw, and held onto it while sinking Celestia further than what the pool really was just prior. He then covered up her eyes, and seemed to let go of her after awhile. Soon, the fear of drowning went away. The Princess was starting to drift in and out of consciousness.

Eventually, Celestia started to hear Trixie yelling her name. Over and over again, the show mare would say it, until Princess Celestia came to it. She choked the water out from her lungs, and stood up in the daylight feeling disoriented. Trixie assisted her up a quick flight of stairs. She brought Celestia to a nearby bench, and sat her down to rest. Celestia just kept holding onto her head, dazed by what had just happened. She felt lighter, too, for some reason.

It wasn't until she glanced up at Trixie that she realized what had really happened. Trixie was missing her horn. Soon, Celestia was feeling her bare backside, and her forehead where her horn once was. It was gone, and so were her wings. "Oh... Wow..."

Celestia gulped nervously, and Trixie asked her, "Didn't you know this was going to happen?"

Celestia just nodded, but she then stated, "I just hadn't expected it to actually... I don't know what I was thinking."

She stood up, and looked around. They were in an enclosed garden, with birds jumping from tree to tree, and religious ponies all wandering around, talking to one another, and glancing back a few times at Celestia who was still forming into an earth pony. She was much smaller, and when she crossed the path to go look at her reflection in a nearby pond, she saw that even her complexion was younger. She turned around, and looked down at Trixie, and said, "I... was taller. Right?"

Trixie nodded, and said, "Yeah, so no magic."

Celestia gulped again, and said, "Come on, Trixie. Let's just go."

On the way to the door, Celestia heard a pair of ponies arguing. One of them stated, "Our Lord fills our lungs with water so that they may better love the air. You of all ponies should know that!"

Celestia chose to avoid contact, and when far enough away, she whispered to Trixie before coming up to the door, "Just because the city flies doesn't mean it's without its fair share of fools."

Ending Segments: "There's still hope."

Ending Segments: "There's still hope."

Beyond that door was a town. That town appeared peaceful, especially when all of the dove birds resting just outside scattered before Celestia and Trixie's hooves. Star Swirl's Bliss was definitely breathtaking to say the least. The structure they stood upon slowly descended itself to patch with a main walkway. In the distance, at the end of that walkway was a statue of Star Swirl towering higher than some of the establishments surrounding it. He looked heart broken, and tired.

They walked together down a familiar street, ignoring the other residents. Had Celestia not seen a particular restaurant she occasionally ate at, she wouldn't have realized it was her very own downtown Canterlot. It just looked so different in this particular, other worldly lighting. Also, there were things Celestia had never seen before, like suspended, metal rails that seemed to be used to transport carts probably containing goods.

They went by a hay dog stand, and the vendor offered them half price, but the two newcomers refused. That's when the kind business owner just gave Trixie the hay dog anyways, stating, "Ah, here, take it! It's my last one. Business has been really good lately."

"Thank you," she said, smiling. Celestia, however, kept walking. Trixie took her time catching up.

They now stood before the statue, and Celestia read the plaque below aloud. "Taken after the fall of the alicorns. Star Swirl chose on that day to purify the ponies of the world except himself, so that nopony would be tempted to experiment with alicorn magic ever again..." Celestia looked at Trixie, and said, "I think I understand now. Luna and I... We must've gotten out of control in this world. We might've even taught regular ponies how to use alicorn magic, and thus, Star Swirl had to stop us."

Trixie raised her eyebrows, and commented, "Wow. For him to be powerful enough to do such a thing, though..."

Celestia shook her head in disbelief, and said, "That's just it. There's no way he took us down. He must've done something else to the alicorns of this world."

Little did the two of them know, they were being watched from up above. A small, white coated filly with a pink mane followed them in the shadows of another building, double checking what she saw. She just had to be sure this was who she thought it was before running off to go tell her sister all about it.

Meanwhile, below, Celestia and Trixie kept walking to the right of the statue of Star Swirl, and towards another connecting walkway. They wandered down the friendly streets of Bliss, and took the time to peruse a fresh produce stand, but were soon on their way again once the roads made new contact once more. Celestia commented to Trixie, "Star Swirl certainly seems to have taken things in the right direction, but I wonder... What of the other species?"

Trixie asked, "Huh?"

"You know," Celestia sighed. "Dragons, and griffons... Are there only ponies way up here? A dragon would sure still be able to reach such a height."

Celestia rubbed her chin, and pondered to herself while Trixie just smirked, and hoofed. "Oh, you're thinking too much into it! Come with Trixie. We need to find Star Swirl the Bearded. Remember?"

That's when somepony else wearing a straw hat stopped in front of them, and commented, "Well, don't you two know? He's gonna be at the fair n' raffle that's goin' on today! If you just keep headed that away, you'll eventually run into the attractions."

Celestia and Trixie looked at one another, and nodded in sequence. "Thanks," Celestia said.

As Celestia and Trixie trotted onwards through the better parts of Bliss, the filly from before ran through a floating orchard farm, and came up to a blue filly sleeping inside of a barn. She woke her up, and chanted, "Luna! Luna! Wake up, you lazy head."

"Huh?" Luna asked, her eyes hurting from the rays that came through an opening in the roof. "Why'd you wake me up, Celestia? It better be important."

"It is," the white coated mare said gleefully. "Today's the day. We need to hurry!"

Luna's eyes went wider than dinner plates. "You mean... she's here?" She got to her hooves, and asked more directly, "You're here?"

Celestia's smile got more and more powerful, and she said, "I saw her standing just in front of Star Swirl's lonely statue." She then became serious. "Come on, Luna! We need to hurry. She's headed for where the raffle was taking place."

Whatever they were up to, the two of them snapped to it without anymore waiting. Luna followed closely behind, and said, "There's still hope."

Meanwhile, the more grown up Celestia and her partner, Trixie still did a bit more wandering around before they'd reach the entrance to the fairgrounds. Trixie commented to Celestia, "So, what happens to us once we do this? Do we just... stop existing?"

The question loomed in Celestia's mind, and she said, "There's... no way to truly destroy an alicorn. I suppose that law can be effected, however by current circumstances. In other words, I... don't really know."

She lowered her hoof, as if she was giving their plans a second thought. Then, she looked up towards where music was coming from, and they followed it. On the way, Celestia asked, "Trixie? Are you afraid of God?"

Trixie came to a stop suddenly, and looked at Celestia who was stopping, too. "No... but Trixie's afraid of you."

She then continued walking. Celestia just stood there for a moment, thinking about this. Still, she kept up, and eventually, they reached the fairgrounds. A posted sign nearby even said that Star Swirl the Bearded would be attending in the Canterlot Gardens this year. Celestia and Trixie entered closely together, and faced all the ponies gathering for the festivities, and there was plenty to see, too.

The first thing Celestia noticed was a wall of posters advertised to the right of her. She came up to it, and read, "The Flim Flam brothers introduces... sugar cubes? It says here, they're scientifically made to provide unique traits to ponies. I've never heard of something more ridiculous!"

Trixie pointed, and said, "Look, this one gives you... lightning powers? Why?!"

"And these cubes-"

Celestia was cut off by somepony announcing rather loudly, "If I told you that mere earth ponies could lift a juggernaut into the air, and off a platform, would you believe me?"

Celestia turned around, and came up to the crowd to listen to the stallion standing atop the small stage built for one. Two other ponies below him surrounded by an audience glowed, and once Celestia got a good look at them, she realized the two ponies performing were none other than Applejack and Rarity. While Rarity glowed yellow, but looked fairly like herself, Applejack was ablaze with fire surging from her hooves.

Applejack just looked at Rarity with pure, undeniable scorn in her eyes. Rarity, however, seemed at peace, and ready for Applejack's attack. The announcer timed it just right, and said, "What about the ability to throw fire from your very hooves?! Or, better yet, stop that fire with a shield that can also be used to heal any of your wounds? Would you believe me?"

Applejack leaped at Rarity with such ferocity that it even put Celestia on edge. The two fighters refused to speak to one another. Blow after blow, however, was either deflected by Rarity, or absorbed. Applejack finally backed away, and stopped her onslaught. The announcer then explained, "These are no small achievements made over night! These are sugar cubes!"

Trixie tapped Celestia on the arm, making her jump a bit, and said, "Come on, your Highness. Trixie feels that overall, it wouldn't be very productive of us to watch this."

Celestia nodded resiliently. She wished to find out more about this, but knew that such research would just delay them that much more. So, she continued to lead the way. She even pointed out Rainbow Dash to Trixie, saying, "Look who it is."

Trixie blinked, and squinted. "What's she holding?"

Celestia blinked as well, and said, "I believe that's a shotgun. She's using it on those targets. It's a game, and if she wins, she earns a prize. I saw them being used as well in Los Cantos. They're very dangerous."

Rainbow Dash fired off a round, forcing Trixie to hold her ringing ears. "And it's loud," she cried.

Celestia continued to walk until she saw what was surely one of those juggernauts that announcer from before was talking about. It was a colossal, steam fueled contraption. It was only thanks to the description of it dangling on an unoccupied podium that Celestia and Trixie were able to tell what it really was. One couldn't even tell what somepony could possibly look like inside of some ugly, iron device like that. "It's a..."

"Pony," Trixie finished for Celestia. "It's a very old pony that was going to die anyways, so to keep them alive... Also, they use them within The Guard. This is what they do to them?"

Celestia just backed away, and said, "I mean... I can see the purpose of it, of course. Imagine being in a building with that thing..." It looked at Celestia, it's dome-like head making a noise. Without a doubt, it was breathing in her direction now. "Outside, I'm sure it's clunky, and wouldn't be able to chase anypony, but in doors..."

Trixie cleared her throat, and Celestia stopped talking. "This place is crazy," Trixie stated quite boldly. Celestia could tell, too that Trixie wasn't being sarcastic. "Super powers for earth ponies...? Guns...? Elders turned into fighting machines...?" She shivered, and asked, "Is all this even safe?"

Before answering that question, Celestia looked all around her, and at all the other ponies having a good time, and playing games. She listened to the peaceful, live music, and smelled the cotton candy, and the popcorn. "I mean... it must be..."

They continued trotting along shortly after that. They eventually reached a gate with some sort of contraption guarding it. The robot boarding up the way forward stated to Trixie and Celestia rather hastily, "Sorry! This portion of the raffle and fair is currently closed! I can only let important dignitaries pass. Come back later!"

Celestia scoffed, and asked Trixie, "Now what're we supposed to do?"

That's when out of the corner of her eye, Celestia saw a filly run behind some of the stands. She came out from the corner, and if Celestia wasn't mistaken, it looked an awful lot like herself. She waved at Celestia, and said, "Hey! You! Why don't you come on over here?"

Celestia trotted up to the filly, and so did Trixie. The two of them just stared at the filly, and that's when another filly with a blue coat came up from behind the stands as well. They all looked at one another, and then the white coated filly said, "We're here to help. You're Celestia, right?"

Celestia blinked, dumbfounded as to how somepony could know who she was. "Y-yes, I am, but how do you-"

"Well, so am I!"

Celestia inhaled deeply, processing this, but soon, she'd be asking herself, "How can this be?" She had some strain in her voice. "How do you know who I am???"

This world's Celestia just giggled as if everything were a game to her. "Let me start at the beginning. You see, it's actually quite simple. Me and my sister used alicorn magic when we weren't supposed to. As punishment, Star Swirl took away our alicorn magic by baptizing us. He created a potion that removes all magic from ponies, and he then uses it to keep Equestria afloat." The filly bowed her head. "By the end of it, we were really sorry for what we had put Equestria through. To make up for it, we used our alicorn magic one last time. We saw into the future, and saw your arrival."

Luna cut in, and said, "We know that nothing can stop you! If we don't give you this, then bad things will happen. We have to keep that from happening."

The young Celestia gulped, and said, "We hope you accept this gift. It's taken us years to perfect it."

The fillies presented a single sugar cube to her Highness. It glowed with a green tint, and the taller Celestia picked it up gently. "What does it do?"

Luna said, "It allows you to control anypony you want, and anything you want, too."

"What you need to do," they younger Celestia explained, "is when you see Star Swirl, use your power on him. Things... just won't work out at first if you don't."

"Just take our word for it," Luna inserted.

At that, Celestia breathed, and looked over to Trixie before she began consuming the sweet delight. "Well, you only live once..." Then, she began eating the concoction. Slowly, things around her darkened even more once it was all gone, and her hooves turned into sheer, green fog. Celestia could've sworn that she was hearing voices in the back of her head, too. Soon, the others appeared the same way, and the side effect of taking the sugar cube lasted for a good few seconds. Eventually, Celestia came down from it, and panted at the experience.

She then questioned the children, "That... That was definitely not a sample, was it?"

Her smaller self shook her head, and said, "Of course not! We wanted to make sure you got your mission done as quickly as possible."

Celestia just nodded to that, and agreed, "Probably for the best. Otherwise, who knows what could happen." She thanked the duo, and then gestured for Trixie to follow along. As a test, she'd need to use it on the gate keeper.

Her hoof glistened in its radical way, and just like that, Celestia had it under her control. It rang, and made them raise their eyebrows. "Goodness me, Star Swirl the Bearded! How did I not recognize you?! Then Again, I thought you had already come by here earlier... Well, anyways, come right on in again!"

It opened up, and Celestia trotted forward. Before them was a different looking plaza with kids playing in the streets. Below their noses, they quickly noticed a crow. It stood there, chirping at first, and then, it took off. As the two of them continued their voyage through the streets of what must've been upper manehattan, Celestia began to notice certain things in this richer environment that she hadn't in other parts of Bliss. For one thing, there were changelings, but they were all dressed up in a certain way, as if they were butlers or something.

Soon, while she walked along the bars that protected ponies from falling off, she also started to see dragons as well, and griffons flying about, but again, they were all dressed up for service. Also, they all looked both busy, and miserable. Trixie apparently noticed this along with Celestia, because she was commenting to her Highness, "Looks like we figured out what happens to the other species."

Celestia started to walk faster along the path, and Trixie did her best to keep up. They wandered right by a pair of guards, and one of them had some sort of hooked gadget secured in his grip. Celestia heard him comment, "Standard issue, this! Lets you even latch on to them rails up there, and ride em' as if you're flyin'! Magnetized, ye see."

He twirled it with the other hoof, and Celestia shivered at what else something like that could easily be used for. Following that, they finally began entering what definitely appeared to be the Canterlot Gardens. Tall trees planted in concrete structures blocked the way for the two of them to proceed anywhere else. Plus, everypony else was headed towards what appeared to be a very large stage. So, Celestia and Trixie had no choice but to continue.

A loud bell could be heard over the booming holiday fireworks, letting everypony know that it was noon. The stage was a little bit bigger than Trixie's, and was mostly covered for the time being by a red tarp emblazoned with gold tassels. Right in the middle of the crowd, and up on stage was Star Swirl the Bearded himself. He looked as if he hadn't aged a day since the last time Celestia had seen him. However, that didn't make him the same pony.

Celestia could barely hear the soft singing of all the ponies surrounded around her. Instead, her mind was way more focused on other things, like how all the ponies were treating their slaves. Trixie, however, appeared completely distracted by what was going on. The singing stopped after a moment more, and Star Swirl spoke to his public.

"Thank you for joining me in this year's raffle and fair. This year, we have a very special event for you all. Recently, and I know it was spread around on the news... there's been some law breakers. In the town of Bliss, we do openly accept slavery. Because of this, certain laws are required in order to keep the peace."

The tarp came up, and the two newcomers gasped at the same time. Celestia held her hoof up to her mouth, offended by what she was seeing. Star Swirl had a dragon, a griffon, and a changeling on display for all of the city to humiliate. They were chained by their throats, and were kept close to the wooden floor. They struggled, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break free. They pleaded for mercy, but it seemed as if nopony would be coming to rescue them.

Then, Star Swirl claimed with a rather serious frown, "Garble the dragon? You were caught breathing fire. Gabriella the griffon? You were caught trying to fly... again. And then, there's Thorax... Although these two were surrendered unto me by their owners, they will instead be for sale." He pointed to Garble first, and then Gabby. "If nopony buys, then they go to labor districts. As for this changeling? He was caught stealing fruit. Let the crime fit the punishment, I say. Besides, his owners have officially disowned him. So, now, he is to be executed following this demonstration."

Celestia blinked a few times, and couldn't stop herself from silently asking, "Execution?"

A mare holding a bucket filled with fruits walked by, and most everypony graciously took some except for Celestia and Trixie. She looked at the two of them, and they acted upon getting some fruit themselves as to not blow their cover. Celestia picked up an apple, while Trixie held onto an orange. At that time, Star Swirl would look at Celestia, and see her scornful expression. Then and there, Celestia used her power of possession, and Star Swirl was out of commission.

By now, one might regard Celestia to be some what of a rebel. This next act of her's, however, would be one that would be talked about amongst the residents of Bliss for ages to come. Her hoof steps were loud on stage, and the silence that followed didn't help in bringing everypony's attention trailing to Celestia. She got up on stage, and came over to the frightened changeling. He whimpered, and begged her, "Don't... Please..."

"It's okay... I'm a friend."

He looked up to her, and asked, "Huh?" Celestia just looked back at him, smiling. Then, she presented the apple, and he grabbed it. "Th-thank you...!"

She just smiled wider, and replied, "Of course." Then, she stood back up while everypony in the audience started to react negatively towards this stunt. However, Star Swirl stopped them by merely raising his hooves, and stating quite clearly, "Everypony, please... This is an old, and all too kindhearted friend of mine."

He turned to her, and she told him, "You're being too rough with the changeling. Just go ahead and sell him off like the others." She then also asked him, "Do you have someplace that we might be able to chit-chat in private, Star Swirl?"

He nodded obediently with a green glow in his eyes, but nopony but Celestia and Trixie would notice. He showed her the way, behind the stage, and Celestia gestured for Trixie to follow as well. It just so happened that Star Swirl had his very manor connected just a few steps away from the fairgrounds. Needless to say, once inside, Celestia and Trixie would demand to know where he kept his potions.

"Yes," he said with a hint of resistance. "Right this... way..."

He guided Celestia and Trixie through an unfamiliar hallway. In time, they'd reach his personal study, and the Princess would be overjoyed to see filled bottle after filled bottle closed up in a tall, glass case. "Okay," she said. "So, Star Swirl... Here's what's happening. I've been pranked by another universe version of myself, and I need to go back in time, and then to her universe to stop what's happened to me from ever happening. She drinks one of your potions that you leave behind in some shack, on some island, and that's what makes her that way! So, which potions do we need?"

He sighed, and said, "Just a second."

He grabbed not just one, or two, but several bottles, and began carefully brewing them all together. Apparently there was more to this than Celestia and Trixie knew about. He concocted a new, all in one potion for the two of them to share. It didn't take him long at all, either, and once he was done, he would just present the two of them their respective portions. Celestia held onto her own cup, and Trixie waited for the Princess to drink her's first. Celestia did so, and only after that did Trixie swallow her's, too.

Celestia waved Starswirl away, and she then felt her horn as well as her wings return to her. Trixie's horn came back, too, and she cheered, "Yesss!"

Star Swirl told the two, "You should be able to go to any universe now, but once you do, it'll lock you to that world. That way, the effects are permanent across the multiverse, and you're not just making another alternate universe."

Celestia smiled, and said, "That's exactly what we needed. Good work, Star Swirl." There was nothing else for them in Bliss, so Celestia said to Trixie, "It's time to go."

The sharp glow of yellow and pink magic filled the room, and as Celestia exhaled, they left Bliss at long last. What happened to that world after these instances didn't matter. Nothing prior to that mattered. All that was important was what happened to Celestia and Trixie following all these chain of events. They had reached the end of their trials. First, they would be in the past, before Bliss was ever even an idea. Then, they'd be in the universe they wanted to be in. They'd be in Trollestia's world, and just before she would drink from Starswirl's infernal, pink potion.

Ending Segments: "Home..."

Ending Segments: "Home..."

The concept of being deleted from existence can throw one's mind into a never ending loop of questions that can never be truly answered. In this case, surely Celestia would be successful in resetting herself, her world, and all of the other worlds Trollestia had tampered with by stopping all of this from the source. In a way, however, if one is to eventually achieve the ability to stop themselves from ever even existing, it would actually be mostly like death.

This thought ran through Celestia's head as she flew through the air. She was holding onto Trixie with her magic. After a long flight, they reached the island with the lone shack, and a cellar. Celestia could even see herself then and there descending down the stairs, and closing the doors behind herself. Trixie commented as they landed, "So, all you have to do is warn her not to drink it, and that's it? Then what?"

Celestia breathed while letting Trixie go, and said with a hint of nervousness showing in her voice, "Again... I don't know. The more I think about it, the more I don't even want to know! Chances are... we might just disappear all of the sudden. We might stay. There's a good possibility we've separated ourselves from the multiverse entirely, and can never go back. Either way, I can't allow myself to do this! If she drinks that potion..."

Trixie spoke up while Celestia tried to find the right words to say. "She'll ruin everything all over again. Trixie knows this... Still, it's scares Trixie to know that... in just a few seconds here, we might not exist anymore. Trixie never really took the time to think about nonexistence before, but the thought frightens her to the very core, now that we've reached the ending of this struggle."

Celestia nodded in agreement, and said, "I know it does. It frightens me, too. We have to do this, though. We didn't come all this way just to reconsider. Trollestia mustn't exist! If that means we mustn't exist, too, then so be it."

Trixie sighed, and hoofed to Celestia to go on inside, and that she would be waiting for her to finish up. Celestia turned around, and inhaled deeply. Then, she let the air out from within her shaking body, and her Highness proceeded to trot forward towards the cellar doors. They creaked open, and Celestia followed herself inside.

The cellar was dusty, just as she remembered it. Celestia came wandering all the way passed the point in which there was the collapse, and where she had first seen the potion. Soon, she saw herself just up ahead. This world's Celestia was glowing in front of a pink colored vial that she was holding. She looked at it with intrigue, and went to uncork the top. Everything slowed down for the other Celestia. She hadn't been spotted just yet, but she knew she couldn't stay hidden for much longer.

She stepped forward, and interrupted the chain of events. Just by making herself known, she felt a disturbance. She raised her hoof, too, and simply said, "Don't." This world's Celestia blinked at herself. "If you drink that... Just don't, okay?"

"Who are you?"

"I'm you," the other Celestia explained. "I'm from another universe. Look, if you drink that... very bad things are going to happen. Ponies are going to get hurt, and it'll be all your fault. You mustn't drink that potion, Celestia. Please..."

The mare just blinked at what was happening. However, one thing was certain. If this potion were to one day cause such harm, a sane Princess would never allow herself to fall victim to it knowing just what such a mixture could really be capable of. So, this world's Celestia first looked at herself again, and then at the bottle. Then, she asked, "It'll be all my fault, huh?"

All her other self had to do was nod her head for confirmation, which she did. Celestia slowly allowed the vial to slip right through the corners of her hooves. It came falling to the sand, and shattered, spilling the liquids inside all over the ground. Shrugging, this world's Celestia said, "There... I suppose I owe you."

The other Celestia shook her head, and said, "That... was enough, actually." She then turned around, and headed out of the dark cellar, and into the sunlight feeling abnormal. The counterpart followed, and came up to sit with her before the open ocean stretching before them.

"What'll you do now?" she asked. The sunset sent its rays jumping along the currents while they conversed with one another some more. After all, this would likely be the only time they'd have a chance to do so.

Celestia looked down, and said, "I guess... now...? I'm going away." Her entire being was fading away, like ashes in the wind. She walked into the water, and began fading even more.

This world's Celestia felt herself choke up, and ask, "Where will you be going? May I know?"

The mare in front of her just frowned solemnly, and said, "Home..."

Then, she was just... gone.

Everything she, and the others had been through was gone.

However, one thing that wasn't gone would be the memories.

This world's Celestia looked over to the fading Trixie, and then back out at the ocean. The thing is, in a way, she had just seen her very own death. She brought her hoof up to her muzzle to feel blood trailing all the way down her chin. Her ears even bled, but all Celestia could do about it was stare open mouthed out at sea. She was far too in shock from finding out about all that had happened to do anything else but cry, and bleed. Blood, and tears soiled that island's sand that day, and knowing all of this now, Celestia would one day document everything her other self had been through.

This is the canon universe of Equestria.

The end.

Part 1: "Is this a joke?"

"Is this a joke?"

Princess Celestia awoke as the moon was setting over the horizon. She got out of her luxurious bed, and noticed that something was off. Though she couldn’t quite put her hoof upon it, she decided whatever it was, it wasn't all that important to pay much attention to it.

Walking to her balcony, she gazed out at the beauty of the land known as Equestria. Princess Celestia was ready to rule the day with as much care for all living things as possible, like she had always done every other morning. While she lifted the sun, she marveled at the warmth of its rays. Her colorful hair shined and waved to the vast, and open world while she greeted a flock of birds flying by.

"Good morning!"

Soon after, she was walking to the throne room to see her sister off when she remembered something. She had forgotten to feed her pet phoenix. She turned around and was just about to return to her room when she felt a bump on her rear end. Squealing from the unexpectedness of this, she turned around to see Cleans Well, the best maid in the palace lying on the floor rubbing her head. As she looked up to see her beloved princess, she gasped.

"Oh, no… I’m so, so sorry for bumping into you!"

Princess Celestia giggled, and said, "It’s quite alright, simply be careful with where you're headed next time."

The maid got up and made an extremely suggestive comment. "Huh? Wait… You’re not going to make me kiss your plot???"

As soon as her ears received this message, Celestia's eye’s widened in embarrassment. She turned around, and asked, "Excuse me?! What did you just say?"

The maid bowed before her ruler, and pleaded for forgiveness. "I'm so sorry! Your Highness, please! Don't banish me to the moon!"

Princess Celestia shook her head to try and tell herself she misunderstood what was going on. "Calm yourself. All I want to know is what you say previously, my subject?"

Princess Celestia asked this in a far calmer tone of voice. Her subject stood up, her posture portraying an utter sense of nervousness. "You usually make me either kiss, or lick your plot."

Blushing cheeks could be seen more so on the princess than the maid’s. Princess Celestia finally decided to accept this as nothing more than a prank of sorts, and giggled about it while her subject stayed rooted with a confused expression. When the princess noticed she wasn’t laughing along, she asked, "You're serious, aren’t you?"

The maid nodded her head, and the princess just backed away slowly.

"I have... some royal duties to attend to… So, uh, you know what? Just carry on with your work," She said, looking for any excuse to get away.

Leaving the poor maid behind, Celestia returned to her room as she had intended to do so in the first place, fed her pet, and then began heading back to the throne room. She passed by the library, and was just then approaching her destination. Just before the entrance, however, was the usual row of stallions that guarded their posts. As she passed by them, she said, "Good day, everypony. Keep up the fine work."

Each one she went by started giving a concerned look to one another. Just before entering, Princess Celestia heard one of the stallions whisper a question.

"Did she grope any of you? Cause she didn’t do that with me this time."

Her Highness stopped in place to listen to the next comment. "Nope. I feel pretty neglected."

At that, she turned to her guards and asked, "What was that?"

The guards all gulped simultaneously, and the one closest to her said, "Well… You usually grope us while we're on duty."

The princess found herself blushing once again. "I would never do such a thing!"

The guards looked at one another with baffled faces. "This is a joke, right?"

Princess Celestia drew a heavy sigh and decided to leave the guards without an answer. As she entered the throne room, she noticed her sister wasn’t inside waiting for her like she usually was. Celestia soon exited the room after not being able to locate her sister, and asked the guards where she might be. They responded by claiming she was probably in her room.

Princess Celestia walked to her sister’s, and knocked before entering. All she heard was the sound of screaming, and the sharp slashing of steel swords. She barged in due to fear of what might be happening in there only to find Princess Luna sitting on her bed magically holding some device. In front of her was more machinery which was completely unfamiliar to Celestia. A motion picture box flickered before Luna's face, and brightened the room. It hung on the wall with a black box sitting underneath. Wires connected the two as though they wouldn't work separately.

"What do you want, oh great sister of mine? Can you not see me playing Skyrim right now?" Luna asked as the person on the screen decapitated what looked like a local villager.

Princess Celestia sat down and asked what this was. Princess Luna pressed a button in the middle of her hoof held device and looked at her sister with a raised eyebrow. "Is this a joke? You know this game. You’ve even played it before."

Princess Celestia looked very puzzled by such a statement, and asked, "Game? You’re… Playing this?"

Luna continued with killing people, and said, "Of course... You’re joking with me, right? Look, I’m not at all interested in this silly prank you're trying to pull on me. It won't work. For all I know, this is just a mind game you’re testing out to see if... to try and get me to… Well, what form of incest wouldn’t you try with me?"

Luna’s sister gasped, and asked, "What? I wouldn’t do anything of the sort! Why would you even suggest something so degrading?"

Luna, stopping her game again, and looked at her sister sternly. "Your sarcasm sucks." Celestia continued to claim she wasn’t being sarcastic, however, causing Luna to laugh. "Alright, I will entertain you, then." As she cast a lie detector spell on Celestia’s lips, she told her to say she was serious just one last time.

Princess Celestia inhaled some air, and said in the most modest voice she could, "I’m not joking."

Luna stopped smiling and looked her sister up and down. Finally realizing Celestia’s mane was colored differently, she asked, "What’s with the new style?"

Celestia curled her hair with her hoof. "You mean my mane? It's always been like this. There's nothing new about it."

Luna’s distanced herself from Celestia a little bit after hearing that statement. She looked like she had just heard the world’s biggest lie, but it wasn’t a lie, and she knew it. The lie detector spell was still active, which told Luna her sister had to have been telling the truth. Celestia got up, and said, "Look, I’ll be in the library. Just come visit me once everypony comes to their senses, and decides to end these silly shenanigans."

As she exited, Luna scanned her room with a trap finder spell, but it showed no justly planted secrets. As she pondered this, she made sure to save her game, and exited the room while telling herself she would have to do a little bit of investigating in order to make sure Celestia wasn’t ill, or something.

"Who knows what could possibly be going on at this point," Luna said as she left with the door cracked.

Part 1: "You act like I’ve never done this to you before!"

"You act like I’ve never done this to you before!"

Princess Celestia awoke to the sounds of nice birds chirping at her window. She lifted her royal head from her comfy pillows, and moved her pink, flowing hair out of her eyes. Even though it seemed like a lovely day, she felt something was different. However, while coming out and onto the balcony, she chose to ignore that feeling.

The moon had just set, and she was about to raise the sun when she got an awfully wicked idea. Her sharp horn shined, and glowed as she began to raise her star. Although the usual orb could be appealing most of the time, this time around, it would be taking a much more suggestive form. It wrapped itself up, and morphed into the shape of a golden dick. Laughing insatiable, she said, "Oh, that’s priceless! Everypony in Equestria is going to see this, and just laugh, laugh, laugh!”

Considering the circumstances, very few members of Equestria would actually be laughing at this.

Her Highness fed her pet phoenix, and then promptly exited her quarters with the sun still in dick mode. She was about to round a corner when she heard sounds of hoof steps coming from the other side. Using a see through spell to observe who it was, she saw the approaching pony to be none other than her most favored subject to trick daily. She turned around with her plot aimed strategically towards the turning point of the hall, and then waited.

"Ah!" Cleanse Well squealed as her unprepared maw went right in between her Highness’s legs. She fell back, and stared. "Oh… Celestia, I’m so sorry about that. Please forgive me."

Princess Celestia just stood with her plot facing the mare, and said, "You musk kiss my plot!"

The maid gave a startled gasp, and said, "What? I- I’m not going to do that!"

Celestia turned her head, and said, "Worship my plot or be sent to the moon. The choice is yours."

The maid, not wanting to go to the moon, got up and stared at the round delight while saying in a nervous voice, "You… w-want me to k-kiss it?"

Celestia rolled her eyes, and said, "You act like I’ve never done this to you before! If you don’t hurry up, I’ll make you do more than just kiss it."

The maid gulped. Despite not wanting to, she brought her lips close. The poor mare could feel the heat coming off of Celestia's cutie mark. She kissed it, and then backed up saying, "There… I did it. Can I go now?"

Celestia’s eyebrow rose as she said, "You call that a kiss?! That could hardly be considered a peck. Now, you must lick it!"

The maid started to tremble at the thought. She didn’t want to offend her princess, but then, she didn’t want to lick her flank either. Nevertheless, she prepared herself as best she could, and told herself to just get this over with. The sooner she did this, the faster she could get back to work.

As she stuck out her tongue, Celestia smiled, and said, "You usually do this like it’s nothing. I’d expect you to be used to worship by now."

Cleanse, confused by the statement, decided to continue. As her tongue touched the royal cutie mark, tastes of sweet delights entered her mind. For some reason, this was enjoyable to the maid. Gently stroking Celestia's flank with her tongue was surprisingly arousing.

Celestia moaned a little, and played along, "That’s it, you've got the hang of it. Now, a little to the left…"

Despite the fact that they were doing this in the halls, Cleanse Well didn’t argue, but simply followed orders by bringing her face up to Celestia’s twat. The taste was amazing. The maid felt herself getting wet as she continued the worshiping. As she put Princess Celestia’s tail over her shoulder, her hooves wrapped themselves around the princess’s waist to gain more room. Celestia just moaned in pleasure.

Once she felt herself getting close, Cleanse buried her nuzzle deep within the princess's royal hole. Juices spurted out, soaking the maid’s mouth. Celestia, huffing and groaning from the pleasure, said, "Good job… Next time, however, do be sure not to resist as much."

The maid lowered her head to bow, and felt her Highness giving her a tender kiss on her forehead. As Celestia walked off, headed to the throne room, Cleanse Well blushed furiously at what had just occurred.

Celestia now walked past the guards, groping them one by one. Each of them jumped as they felt the soft hoof of their ruler invade their growth. Celestia just smiled and entered the throne room. while the stallion guards stood there, they all asked one other if what they thought just happened really did just happen, which it did, of course.

Celestia saw Luna sitting on the throne. She was just in the middle of yawning. As Celestia walked up to the mare, she asked, "Shouldn’t you be in your room playing Skyrim… Or Call Of Duty?"

Luna looked at her sister not knowing what she had just asked. "Excuse me? What’s a... Skyrim? And my duty is to wait here until you show up."

Celestia giggled, and said, "But you, like, never wait for me. You’re always in your room playing that silly console of yours."

Luna, who was still completely lost, asked, "Did you hit your head or something?"

Celestia claimed she was feeling fine, and relieved her sister. Luna was about to leave when Celestia beckoned her to come back for a moment.

"What is it?" Luna questioned. "Your acting very strange today."

Celestia just asked her to come closer. Her sister, feeling this might be somewhat important obeyed. Celestia smiled, and said, "I have something secret to tell you. But, you have to get close to me if you want to hear it."

Luna did as she was told, and was now close enough for Celestia to pull her prank. She stuck out her tongue, and glided it across her sister’s lips. Luna, feeling embarrassed, slammed her hooves to her face.

"That’s the fourth time now! Oh, you’re just too gullible, but you're still adorable as well,"Celestia said, giggling at her prank while Luna whipped her lips.

Once Luna finished getting the spit off from her nose as well, Luna said, "What is wrong with you? That’s nasty!"

Celestia just smirked, and said, "Oh come on, it wasn’t that bad, was it?"

Luna's blushing cheeks told Celestia she wanted to try it again, but she would never admit it. Celestia stood from her throne, and said, "You know what might be good for you right about now?"

Luna didn’t answer as she was too dumbfounded to even know what was happening. Celestia brought one of her hooves to Luna’s chin, and said, "A kiss… A nice, long… passionate kiss." As she inched closer, Luna found herself frozen from the neck down. Something about this was so wrong to her, but then again, she didn’t try to stop it. What was she going to do? Hurt her sister? All she could do was let her sister have her way, if she so desired.

Part 2: "I can only dream of there being an air conditioner unit amongst all these ruins."

"I can only dream of there being an air conditioner unit amongst all these ruins."

The vast valleys of green that stretched before Princess Celestia and Princess Luna transformed before their very eyes. It was a marvelous, and enlightening experience. The very ground before them vanished, and their surroundings were replaced by the warmest air they'd ever sensed. As they fell, they saw that below them was something Celestia had never thought she'd see nestled within the Canterlot region. It was a tall standing pyramid, built in the very heart of this roaring desert, and all by itself, without anything else visibly nearby for miles. Although Celestia could tell that the land was still Equestria, the sands gave it a different feeling entirely. She and her sister cascaded through the middle of the air, down towards the sloping limestone surface. They landed, and continued to decline in altitude, but gained in speed while gracefully sliding alongside it, kicking sand and dust away from their paths.

Once they had finally neared the bottom, Celestia leaped forward, and away from the pyramid while extending her wings. Luna followed suit, and once reaching solid, clay ground undoubtedly made by ponies long ago, Celestia commented, "I never believed there could've been enough sand in those storms to do something such as this. It's... terrible, but also such a beautiful sight as well."

Luna nodded, coming up next to Celestia under a tall growing palm tree. "It sure is humid. That's for sure! I can feel myself perspiring already."

Celestia raised her wing defiantly to block her own sun from blinding her, and said, "The rays bouncing off the sands makes it that much brighter, I noticed." She winced, and blinked. "I can only dream of there being an air conditioner unit amongst all these ruins."

From behind, Luna called over to her. "Sister, come take a look at this."

She was entering the pyramid, and Celestia became curious as well. "Just what could be hidden deep inside this thing?" Celestia thought.

She followed along, and the two of them proceeded with illuminating the wide, and dark space with their horns. Above them, in primitive looking pictures carved against the inner four triangle walls described what had happened to Equestria over the years. The storms came, and went, but life for ponies struggled to go on despite all of that. Because of the chaos that the storms had caused, it appeared that Twilight and her friends either never met, or were never born, because nothing about her of her friends were up there. Celestia had to take down her own sister all by herself, and only just a few years earlier.

"It... appears..."

Luna gasped at the tomb that rested right in the middle of the room. In the center of it was the labeling of her cutie mark. Celestia walked up to it, and Luna asked, "If this place is what I think it is, then..."

Celestia's was the one to use her trembling hoof to opened the tomb, but she quickly backed away while nearly losing her lunch after doing so. As for her sister, Luna just froze. She stared at her dead self with a weak posture. She then suddenly jerked herself forward, and looked at herself while giving off a daunting huff. "But... I'm here," she said to the corpse after putting her hooves on the tomb's edges, her face turning white as a sheet.

Celestia put a hoof on her sister's back, and said, "You're still here, though." Luna backed away from the stony coffin in aggravation, and then, something strange happened. Luna turned into literal static for a good moment, as if she were inside a tv screen. Celestia jumped, and yelled, "What the?!"

"How can I be dead?!" Luna cried out, her voice also sounding distant. "I'm right here! I don't remember dying!"

Celestia began to suspect this was a side effect of seeing one's other self dead. She reached forward to grab hold of Luna in order to make her stop, but she couldn't even really be sure if whether or not she had touched her sister, when in actuality, she did.

Luna was brought back to reality with the most bizarre of expressions, and could only asked her sister, "Huh?"

Celestia breathed, and noticed something peculiar. "Luna... You're bleeding."

"What?" Luna asked. She brought her hoof up to her nose only to feel thick liquid oozing from her nostrils. "Ohh, jeez..."

"Here," Celestia said. She summoned something for Luna to wipe the blood away with, and said, "You went a little see through back there, and fuzzy. I don't think you should be looking at your dead self anymore."

Luna nodded while still dabbing at her maw, and turned for the entrance. "Indeed, so let's just get out of here."

"But, Luna" Celestia said. "In case you haven't noticed, it's been surprisingly cool in here."

Luna turned back around, annoyed, and yelled, "That's because my DEAD CORPSE is in here! Now, let's get out of here."

Celestia nodded as well. She began following along while Luna tossed aside the small, white, and bloodied towel that she'd been using. Just before reaching the beginnings of the hall, however, Celestia and Luna noticed two pieces of clothing hanging on a pair of hooks. Above the white, larger veil designed to cover one's body was Celestia's name scribbled on an old, wooden plaque. The other veil was blue with darker trim. Above that one was Luna's plaque.

Celestia felt the fabric, and commented, "It's made of freezing-fiber. You only really see this sort of clothing at Somnambula."

Luna nodded, and asked, "Should we?"

Celestia shook her head, and said, "What? Are you crazy? That's thievery!"

"But, they've got our names on them! Plus, we'll die of either heat or exhaustion out there without them!"

Celestia looked away, and sighed. She then smiled while grabbing hold of her dress. "I suppose you've got a point."

Luna put her's on as well, and the two of them then left after getting completely situated. "I just hope I don't ever see myself dead," Celestia said. "That... appeared to be quite the ordeal for you. What was it like?"

Luna just gulped at the questions presented to her, and confessed, "Like I didn't know what up, or down was anymore. It was head splitting. You're in the right to hope to never see yourself dead!"

Celestia blinked while breathing in deeply, and the two of them wandered into the light once more. This time, with their dresses on, the sun didn't distract the two so much, and they were able to see a city in the far off north east. They even saw even more pyramids. "There," Celestia said with a coy smirk that nopony could ever even be able to see thanks to that veil hiding her face. Even their wings were hidden, so long as they stayed on the royal sister's sides. "That must be Canterba. Wouldn't you agree?"

Luna nodded, and said, "Whoever it is we're looking for, they'll probably be found over there. Not over here at my grave."

Together, the two Princess took flight, and soared through the sand filled atmosphere. In the far off distance, well enough away to only be described as a speck, two blistering tornadoes merged to become even more powerful. Luckily for Canterba, it was well enough away to hardly be called a threat. As Celestia and Luna entered the outskirts of a suburb called Bonovo, they made sure to land before anypony saw that they were alicorns. There was no need for such attention, after all.

Canterba was exactly as one might imagine Canterlot to be like had it been buried under miles upon miles of sand. Palm trees had at least started emerging here and there to give the landscape a more tropical impression. Everything else, however, such as the city itself was bland, and to put it mildly, falling apart. There were plenty of alleyways for thieves to gallop on into, and plenty of shops aligning the main path that lead to the very palace itself for those thieves to take advantage of. Celestia and Luna trotted along, hoping to not be recognized, and for the most part, ponies paid them little attention, so they proceeded to head for the palace with no real idea as to how they were going to infiltrate it. Celestia took her mind of such things, though, by listening to the merchants next to them banter on about what they had to offer.

"Fresh fish! Fresh fish for sale!"

"Got you gals covered right on over here! Monkey's feet! Don't ask how I got my hooves on em'. It was extremely messy!"

"Can I interest you in some jewelry?"

"Oh," Celestia chimed, waving for Luna to slow her pace. "Necklaces... and horseshoes??? You have necklaces and horseshoes?"

"Hah!" The chubby merchant laughed. "My prices may be a bit salty... much like my lips, but you won't find better quality goods anywhere else."

Celestia turned to her fellow traveling companion, and asked, "How much money do we have?"

Luna just gawked at Celestia, and asked in a shocked tone, "You're joking, right? You have to be joking. Besides, what makes you think that they would take the type of currency we carry?"

The merchant then spoke up, "I accept bits, water, and slaves. I prefer women."

Celestia looked from the merchant to Luna to say, "See? He accepts bits and slaves." She then realized what she had just said, turned back around to face the merchant, and asked, "Wait, what?! Slaves???"

If only slightly, The merchant backed away, and said, "Yes. What of it? It's perfectly legal here in Canterba! I'll not sell my wears to such individuals who possess such closed minds!"

"No, wait," Celestia said. "Actually... Nevermind about that. We don't care," she lied, but in a way, that's not really why they were here, either. Celestia and Luna were visiting Canterba to find somepony that Trollestia had sent there as a prank. "To be honest, we just need to get into the palace."

The black-marketeer gave the two a wicked smile, and offered, "Just two bits, and I'll bring the relatives of Empress Celestia to her throne room post haste. Hehe..."

Celestia blinked, and looked from him to her sister, and then back at him again. "How...?"

"I could see it in your eyes. Don't worry, you two. Celestia has her guests visit in secret all the time. I'm just surprised to get this job so late! Usually, the likes of yourselves shows up much more earlier."

Luna chuckled at that, and said, "We got caught up looking at the pyramids. We're... not from around here."

The merchant turned his gate to the ill spoken mare, and said, "Looking at the pyramids? Heh... That's funny. As if there's not enough of those things for miles, dotting the world like it were an old century spiked wrecking ball. You go right on ahead and tell me a place in Equestria that doesn't have those eyesores somewhere in the distance, and I'd love to go there sometime."

He started limping away from the two, and into a back ally. He sounded for them to follow. They did, and were then instructed to go down an intimidatingly dark, and damp sounding sewer hole. "It leads right to Celestia," the unsuspecting merchant said to Celestia.

"You're sure?" Celestia asked, worried.

"Positive." He then extended an open hoof, and asked, "My two bits? After all, it's a discount."

Celestia paid up, and the two got under way. As they voyaged through the muggy environment, Celestia commented to Luna, "I wonder how Twilight's getting along."

Luna shrugged, and offered, "Her situation is probably not too far off from what ours is right now."

Part 2: "What? Really? How?"

"What? Really? How?"

The library seemed the same except for all of the dust, and the absence of ponies. There's really no need in describing Celestia's and Twilight's general arrival, as all they really do is wander through the undecorated halls of an old, and withered castle not even really speaking to one another until they got outside. The whole castle was incomplete, and abandoned for what seemed like hundreds of years. During the middle of the day, Celestia came down the steps, and looked around at the green hills that would've been the commons of her fair city.

"This is... rather different," she said to Twilight.

"Yes, it is. Where'd Canterlot go? Better yet, why isn't the castle in use, like, at all?"

Celestia's gaze finally fell upon a far off sight, shining in the distance. "Because... this isn't Canterlot. Look..."

Twilight did so, and saw this world's primary capital. Los Cantos looked wondrous from where they stood. However, Celestia had to remind herself as well as Twilight, "It's not safe here. Remember what I've told you about this place, Twilight. Keep your eyes-"

"Celestia?"

"Yes?"

Twilight pointed with a hoof, and said, "I think I just saw myself inside of a purple... Errr..."

Celestia peered at a winding road made out of concrete, and saw what Twilight was talking about. "That would be a car," Celestia pointed out. "I've only ever seen such a thing in one other place. This isn't that world, however. There's probably all sorts of things found here that we don't know about. Stay on your guard."

That's when Twiliht suggested, "We should follow myself!"

Celestia rolled her eyes, and said, "I don't think that's being careful, Twilight. We don't know what we're like in this world. What if they want to hurt us?"

That's when somepony else came driving up in a much bigger vehicle, and came hopping out. It was somepony the two had never met before, and he introduced himself rather provocatively while leaning against whatever it was that he had arrived in. "The name's Trevor. I don't usually get these specific texts on my phone, telling' me where the hell to go, and who to introduce to this hellhole..." He waved the piece of technology in front of them. He was tattooed, and although he had some hair, it was still missing in weird places which made him look even more out of the ordinary.

Twilight asked her mentor, "What's that in his hoof? And what's he driving? Is that the same thing as a car?"

As a response, Celestia just raised her hoof to Twilight's mouth to silence her momentarily. "Twilight, that's a truck. He's holding a communications device, and I don't think you want to interrupt him when he's talking right now."

Twilight looked away from Celestia, and back at Trevor, who was snarling in a way that even scared Celestia, which was quite a feat to pull off. Twilight jumped back, and Trevor just used his greasy shirt to wipe his dirty nose with. He then spat at the ground before continuing with what he was saying.

"I understand... that you two are new. Well, I'm just here to teach you the basics."

From out of his armpit hidden just out of sight thanks to a strap on his back, Trevor revealed something to the two of them, and said, "This... is a gun." He held it in his hoof. "It's used for both protection, and murder. Usually, those two things happen at the same time. That's just a tip from me to you. Get a gun."

Celestia nodded, and asked, "How do you know who we are?"

Trevor shrugged rudely with widened eyes. "Fuckin' shit, lady. I don't know you. It's just the way this works! I'll get a text message whenever somepony new comes into this shitty world, but there hasn't been anypony that's come into this world since..." He rubbed his chin, and said, "Come to think of it, I don't think anybody's ever crossed over from another universe. I've been waiting for a good, long time."

Twilight asked, "Who gave you this assignment?"

"Celestia did, because there wouldn't be any reproducing anymore. Sure, there's still sex, but shit. Baby making went out the window when that day happened!" He put away his firearm, and continued, "If there was anypony new, they'd need to know the rules. Our Princess is nothing if not considerate of the uneducated. Just think of this as a... tutorial. M'kay?"

Celestia nodded to that as best she could, and asked, "So, it's a spell linked with your phone? I'll have to give that a try in my world, actually."

Trevor laughed, and said, "What the fuck ever. I don't really give two shits what you do with your time. I can tell you this, though. It won't work!"

"Why?" Celestia asked.

"Because, it's actually a reproduction tracker. It lets me know when some pony's born into this world. The age they are when they enter doesn't matter. My phone's gonna be fucked the day the real Celestia dies! Anyways, look, I'm just here to tell you that life's about to get harder, and interesting for the two of you. So..." He breathed in deeply, and said, "Rule number one, the law is your own."

Twilight and Celestia just stared at Trevor expecting more. Twilight was the one to finally break the silence, and ask, "Could you elaborate?"

Trevor just breathed, holding in his temper. He then stated rather loudly, "FINE! There will always be ponies who try, and some days they're successful at enforcing the law even though the law is a blurry thing these days. Kill, rob, steal, do what you want. It's a life of ultimate freedom, but just know, others can make your lives a living hell at the same time."

"What's rule number two," Twilight asked curiously.

"Money in Los Cantos... is king. If you have enough cash, then you can get pretty much anything. Cars, trucks, bikes, planes, helicopters, jets, bikes that can fly, you name it! However, it all costs cash which you don't have yet. Lots of ways to make money, though, as I'm sure you'll soon find out. Rule number three is simple. You can never really die. The only real way anypony in this world is gonna die, and not come back a few fucking feet away is if Celestia herself dies. That's the only way to break the spell she's put on Equestria. Lots of ponies have tried, but most of them fail miserably."

Celestia's ears perked at that. "This world's Celestia did this?"

Trevor, who was frowning, nodded. "Yes, she did. It broke everypony."

"And if someone kills her, or if she somehow dies... That's how the spell is broken? Then, anypony that dies after that stays dead, and everypony would be able to reproduce like normal, but all of this would have lasting side effects... Actually, some might see it as armageddon."

Trevor said, "I couldn't have put it better myself. Last rule is... just don't fuck with Celestia. That's contradictory to what I just said, but hey, she's the one that's gonna enforce that on you if you try to retaliate." He looked Celestia up and down, and commented, "Although, a worshipper like yourself will probably not be doing that, huh?"

Celestia cocked her eyebrow. "Don't be so sure of that, but if we find what we're looking for, I'm not going to worry about chasing her down afterwards."

Trevor spat again, and said, "Fine by me, but if you even try... you won't have any legs... or a horn... or wings... or a tongue... or a brain... or your eyes, or your ears." He got back in his truck, and said to the two of them from out of the window, "Last tip. Don't let me catch you outside of this incident. I'll open both of you up faster than you can bat an eye."

He then did a brief spin out, and took off, leaving Celestia and Twilight to contemplate his words. Twilight just looked down, knowing that she wasn't controlling herself too well. She waited for Celestia to speak instead, and when she did, Twilight would start to tremble. "I understand this is refreshing for you, to be here with me, but you must settle down. Los Cantos is too dangerous, and risky. We could be caught in a never ending struggle, just in order for us to get that notebook. Or worse."

Twilight nodded, and said, "I'm sorry, your highness. I'm just... really excited to be here with you."

Celestia blinked, and looked at Twilight deeply. "What do you mean, excited? What if you get killed, or hurt? What if I die? Are you prepared to see that?"

Twilight looked at Trevor in his truck disappearing over a hill, and said, "It won't hurt, though..."

Celestia became animated. "It won't?"

"No! It won't!" She walked forth, her horn glowing lightly. She even seemed to float to Celestia. "I think I understand the way this world works. You wanted to protect life at one point, but you were misguided in a different way. So, what did you do? You gave it a mixed blessing. Watch..." Celestia couldn't control herself once she was Twilight use some of her magic to cut her forehoof. It wasn't a deep wound, but it was still enough to make her mentor step forward, and hold onto her. Twilight didn't seem to feel anything, though. "Yeah, see?" she asked.

"You're alright?"

Twilight explained, "It's like... I know how much life energy I actually have left, but I don't really feel it. It's... amazing! Although, it still doesn't particularly feel too good."

Celestia nodded, and said, "Still, it was good of you to test it out. At least now we know there's nothing for us to really worry about. I'm sure the sensation of dying isn't too grand even if it's painless, however. If we can, I'd like to avoid that." She held her hoof to her chin for a moment, and said, "Hmm... That Trevor character... I swear, I knew him at one point."

Twilight then asked, "So, should we follow myself? Or, should we just stay here, talking about it?"

Needless to say, they didn't stay there talking about it, and instead, Celestia actually agreed to Twilight's plan. After all, they had no other leads at the time, and nothing better to do.

Celestia and Twilight Tracked her down by following the most recent road she traveled upon. They hoofed it, and when they finally found that familiar, purple car that she was driving around in earlier parked in the middle of the road, the two of them continued to look around in order to locate the other Twilight, but without success. Just up the road, there was an old looking observatory that she might've gone to, so Celestia suggested, "Let's try over there."

Twilight nodded, and followed while replying, "Sure, sounds good."

They came up to a fairly tall standing hedge, and peered around the corner to observe what was going on. Just before the entrance of the structure itself were a bunch of finely dressed ponies. They were all standing around a really nice looking, blue car with the license plate saying, "P0n3d". All of them were stallions, except for just one other that was coming out of the building. She seemed to be the head of operations. Twilight speculated briefly with Celestia that perhaps they should just introduce themselves, and the mentor agreed considering they didn't have anything to lose, and they had to start somewhere.

"Excuse us," Twilight called out. "We need some help."

"Yes," Celestia chimed in. "Have you seen a pony that looks a lot like her? We need answers, and-"

"Hey!" The mare that stood before the princess and her student chewed her gum vigorously, and continued to interrupt Celestia. "First off, you fake! I don't like ponies that pretend to be Celestia. Second, like, you're BOTH naked. Who goes around without at least a pair of underpants on these days?"

"Yeah," one of the stallions rallied. "You two are just looking for trouble, aren't you?"

"I say we just ring em'," another one said while coming closer to them, and pulling out his shotgun. He didn't last too long, however, because from behind, strings of bullets entered each and every one of them except for Celestia and Twilight. They seemed to be the only ones that were spared, and it happened so quickly, and silently, too, that the two of them couldn't be sure where the shots had even come from.

That's when this world's Twilight came out from a pair of thick bushes while holding a bullpup rifle with her magic. She stared at herself, and came up to Celestia to say, "Thanks for being my distraction. Good work, but, uh... you... Who are you?"

She was pointing at herself, so despite them being thoroughly intimidated, and frozen in place, Celestia said, "You just... that is, s-she's you from another universe. You're Twilight, right?"

She shook her head, and backed up to say, "Nope! You can call me Ray. Most everypony does."

With a hoof, she waved her hair at Twilight in a way that seemed disrespectful. Ray was dressed for business, but something about her was off. She had redder streaks going through her mane, and rather than what Twilight's flank looked like, her cutie mark was of a volatile comet. Celestia then realized, "Oh... Twilight! This must be your ancestor."

Twilight looked from Celestia to Ray, and then back to Celestia to ask, "What? Really? How?"

Celestia said, "She never withered away, you see. The spell was cast, and you were never born... This world's Celestia keeps sounding more and more powerful by the minute."

Ray nodded while turning, and headed for the car. "She is, and if you're from another universe, then things in Los Cantos must be getting hairy. Look, I've got to import this baby, but you seem promising. Steal a car, and follow me without getting sidetracked, and maybe I'll think about helping the two of you out."

As she spun off at a fair speed, Celestia and Twilight got the message, and turned to see cars start spawning in. One by one, parking space after parking space was filled with cars for them to choose from. Naturally, they grabbed the nearest one, and they took off as quickly as they could. Celestia was rather quick to learn how to drive, and was surprised at how spacious the vehicle really was. She and Twilight talked about the possibilities of how cars were able to randomly spawn in as well, but with no factual basis, they could only guess at what could be causing that to happen.

They followed Ray into the richer end of the world, where extravagant houses were built along winding roads. On their way there, they saw a few ponies in quarrels, and one such citizen getting shot right in the head. Them minding their own business made it easier for Celestia and Twilight to traverse the neighborhood. Celestia, however, felt less and less like spending time here. They pulled up to the house that Ray was parked at, and came through the front gate only to see somepony else with her. Ray looked from Celestia to Twilight, and said, "This is Michael. He's got something that I've been needing for... quite a while now."

Twilight asked, "What might that be?"

Michael took the liberty of answering that question. "Actually, to be fair, we'd rather not discuss the contents of Twilight's brief case. How about... I give you two each five hundred big ones just to ignore it?"

He pulled out a hunk of cash, and used his magic to unfold it, straighten it out, and count it. He then handed Twilight and Celestia their money.

Twilight just dropped it to the street, and allowed it to blow away. Celestia then did the same exact thing. Ray and Michael just stared at them with widening eyes. That's when Celestia said, "Give me the briefcase, or else."

Michael's jaw dropped, and Ray raised her gun. However, Celestia in all her might literally broke all gun within a mile radius. Sparks went off all around Ray's white aura, and her weapon fell to the floor. Michael had to grab his side arm out of his coat pocket. Needless to say, they then did as Celestia asked, both shaking in terror. It was just as Celestia has suspected. Inside of the brief case was Starswirl's notebook. Twilight asked her mentor, "How did you know?"

Celestia looked at Michael, and said, "I remember you being the pony to deliver this to me... Huh... Funny how that still happened."

Michael just snarled at her, but that's all he could really do at the time. They left through the gate, and regrouped outside where they could be away from Ray and her cohort. Celestia looked at Twilight, and said, "Rethinking this whole thing, I've come to a conclusion that all of this... is too dangerous."

Twilight nodded, and commented, "I understand."

"Not only that, but my Twilight doesn't need a test to determine if she's ready to be an alicorn. You're already capable of such a thing in my opinion. When we get back home, I'll be sure to turn you into a princess myself."

Celestia tossed the notebook to the ground, and began burning it with her magic. As it went up in smoke, Ray came out, and gasped. So did Michael.

Celestia and Twilight began using their magic to teleport back to their world. However, as fate would have it, Michael wasn't going to allow the two of them the pleasure of getting away. Not without some sort of repercussion. He yelled over to the fading duo, "Hey! Mother fuckers! I don't think so!"

He pulled out a molotov cocktail , and proceeded to throw it right at Twilight. It immediately caught her on fire while they were still teleporting themselves out of there, and Twilight began screaming, and flailing rapidly to try and put herself out. Everything went dark, and all Celestia could think of was what she was going to do about this. Twilight wasn't going to die, but her burns would surely be enough to devastate her for life. The only other choice now was to bring her back to Los Cantos, and that was an impossibility because that world was now pure.

One thing was for sure. Celestia would have no choice but to consult Trollestia. Perhaps, even, for the last time. Something like this, she just couldn't let go of. The joke had gone too far, and everything was breaking all around her. Celestia now knew what she had to do.

Part 2: "It seems you've forgotten the basics."

"It seems you've forgotten the basics."

Celestia would never forget the smell of burning flesh. They were in the middle of the woods, and Twilight's entire right portion leading from her lip, and curving down to her cutie mark was completely scorched, and deformed. She twitched in actual pain while falling down, and coughed while desperately trying to ask her mentor for help, and then, everything went blank.

Celestia teleported herself as well as Twilight back to the castle. She even went as far as to transform Twilight into an alicorn, but the damage had already been done. Twilight remained the way she was. Even worse than that, she wasn't waking up, either. Princess Twilight had fallen into a deep coma, leaving Celestia unsure towards the future.

She stood over her pupil who rested on a soft, rectangular bed. Celestia covered Twilight's body with a glass top. At the ends were holes so that she wouldn't suffocate, and as it was secured, Celestia said with tears running down her face, "This has gone on far too long. There has to be a better solution than just jumping from world to world. I have to figure out something that's going to fix everything, but there..." She grieved while the door behind her opened. "There is no other way! We're all slaves to these never ending missions!"

"Twilight?" Trixie called from behind Celestia. "It's true!? She's..."

Trixie came up to the glass while Celestia held her back. "She's not dead. She's just in a coma."

Trixie looked at her Highness, and asked, "Are you sure? Even if you're a Princess, you better not be lying to Trixie!"

Celestia nodded, and said, "I know it's probably hard for you to cope with this, but we have to keep going without her."

Trixie looked at Twilight, and then she looked at Celestia, and said, "It's stupid of you to be acting the way you are towards Trollestia."

Celestia nodded, and said, "I know what I need to do. I need to kill her. If I do that, then I'll gain her memories. That's exactly what happened while we were at Canterba. I saw my other self from that universe commit suicide, and then I had all of her memories. It was... weird."

For a good, long while, there was a pause. Neither said anything, but then, Celestia finally took a look at Trixie's expression. It was one of sheer surprise.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Trixie stared at Celestia with a quivering lip, and the world's most twitchiest left eyebrow, and said, "Whoa... Look, Trixie didn't mean anything like that. Celestia, baby, Trixie's not sure what other worlds you've been through as of late, but let her tell you something... You shouldn't kill her just because you want information from her. Just... motivate her a little bit. Come with Trixie. She'll brief you on how you'll be doing this."

Celestia turned towards Trixie who seemed to be headed towards where they were keeping Trollestia. "You'll... what?"

Trixie just rolled her eyes, and said, "It seems you've forgotten the basics."

They both entered together, but Trixie was the one to instruct Molestia and all the guards to leave. She also told them not to worry about the forcefield. It went down, and Trollestia stood there before Celestia, and her supervisor. She almost seemed innocent. Celestia then stated, "My pupil is in a coma. She was set on fire just as we were teleporting ourselves out of there."

Trollestia became animated, and she said, "I had... hoped that wouldn't have happened since we're trying to keep that kind of crazy crap from happening now."

Rather forwardly, Celestia said,"I could kill you, and to add to that... we need your information. We need it to be accurate, too. So, we've reached a particularly stubborn roadblock because it's immoral for me to kill you. I feel as though, however, you're holding something from us..."

Trollesia winced, and stated coldly, "I'd tell you, but then, you'll kill me anyways just to be sure that I'm not lying to you. If you're just going to kill me, then do it!"

Celestia's anger rose. "I'll tell you this only once. Tell me the honest, and most efficient way of resolving your stupid puzzle or else. Trollestia... I'll have no choice but to kill you!"

That's when Trixie stepped in, and revealed, "We're not like you, however. We're not going to kill you just for pleasure, and we're not going to get scared when our own lives are put at risk above all others who we're close to. Friendship in this world, and all the other worlds, too... It's just... important. Giving up your information would mean that you're ready, and that you're able to make friends again. Trixie bets you haven't had a good friend in a long time, huh?"

Trollestia looked down, her coat sparkling in a dull way. It was just barely noticeable, but still, Celesia saw it anyways, and said, "We promise that we won't hurt you if you just... help us."

Trollestia seemed distant, and then, some white color returned to her. She smiled to say, "I guess I will..."

Celestia grabbed hold of Trollestia by her hoof, and pulled her closer to the middle of the room. "You may begin, then."

Trollestia still had pink in her coat, but nevertheless, she was now at least cooperative. "I've been working on this plan for a short while, but I haven't been able to determine if it'll really work or not. It makes sense in my mind, so let me see if I can't put it in words."

Celestia just nodded, and instructed her new friend, "Take your time. Start at the beginning."

"Okay..." Trollestia breathed, and then began. "You see, I was like you. My sister went away, and so did Star swirl the Bearded. So many things happened back then, but in the few years to come, I'd find Star swirl's abandoned shack. I'm sure you remember it. I went down there, into his cellar buried underneath that lone island that could be found in the middle of the ocean, and I just so happened to bump into a pretty, pink potion."

Celestia's eyes widened, and she voiced, "You mean to say that you..."

"As if I had lost control of my body completely, I uncorked the triangular bottle, and drank up without any second thoughts. I was changed forever." Trollestia blinked, and said, "See? There's the thing. If you were able to go back in time, and then enter my world, you'd be able to stop me from taking the potion that made me the way I am today. However, it won't work because you wouldn't be in the timeline where the worlds are linked. That's where your last journey comes into place."

Celestia asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's simple," Trollestia hoofed. "You need the assistance of Star swirl the Bearded. That's a problem, though, because the only way that's going to work out is if he never even went away. You'd need a Star swirl that stayed in Equestria, and has had time to make a potion that will make it possible for you to travel to other worlds of your choosing without the need for them to be linked. I know of one such universe, but..."

Celestia asked, "But?"

"I was too intimidated by the place to go there myself. This is just from me visiting a light house, but from what I'm able to comprehend, if Star swirl never meets a certain somepony, he never goes away. Because of this, he manages to create an elixir of life that keeps himself alive forever. Although, he didn't stop there. Soon, he advanced his power, and his influence, and was able to ascend all of Equestria to the skies. According to the warning signs that I saw while I was in that lighthouse, no alicorns... no pegasi, or even unicorns are allowed into the city. Only earth ponies."

Celestia opened her mouth, but before speaking, she though for a second about how to word her question. "How is it that you're able to teleport to and from unlinked worlds?"

Trollestia said, "I drank a potion a long time ago that allows me the ability to do so, but it's finally wore off. It being a potion, I didn't get any additional perks, either. That's why I haven't tried to use my magic. I found it in the same cellar as the first potion. If you go there now, however, the potions will probably be destroyed."

Celestia shook her head, and said, "In my world, a long time ago, there must've been a collapse, or something. When I went in there the first time around, all I found was that potion. I took it as an omen, and thew the bottle to the ground."

Trollestia nodded, and agreed, "I probably would've done the same thing had I seen that. Anyways, if you're going to fix all of this, then I recommend reaching out to Star swirl the Bearded, and seeing if he can lend you the proper potion you need. Then, all you have to do is go back in time, and then teleport to my universe in order to stop me."

Celestia got up to start asking Trixie to go get Luna, and before she did, she asked, "Just how am I supposed to get there, though?"

Trollestia said, "I left your mirror in the offerings dish, just inside the lighthouse. I was... planning on having you wonder around the whole world looking for it, just to finally find that single lighthouse amongst all that nothingness."

Celestia merely rolled her eyes, and sighed. "I was wondering where that went. Well, at least you're honest. So far, though, all I can say is that your pranks have all been bland." Again, some of the pink in Trollestia's coat went away slowly, but not all the way. It was just enough to be seeable. Celestia then said to Trixie, "Could you get me my sister. I wish to see if she'd like to take part in this adventure as my co-pony."

Trixie suggested, "Why not just bring me? Let's not leave Canterlot without a princess."

Although Trixie wasn't Celestia's first choice to bring along, she had a point, so Celestia decided to deal with this, and offered the outskirts of town as a good spot to use for teleportation. Trixie agreed, and they left Trollestia in the room, alone. They knew now that she wasn't going to teleport out of there, because soon, none of this would even matter. Celestia informed Molestia of what was going on, and told her that she could stay here if she wanted to, or that she could go back home. Predictably, Molestia chose the latter.

Considering this would likely be the last time Celestia would face her subjects again, she sent a message in front of a wide crowd, in the middle of her fair streets. That message was that everypony needed to be strong, and that they needed to be there for her even when she was so far away. The last thing she did before leaving was say her goodbyes, consult her sister, and see Twilight one last time. She merely glanced at the glass, but then turned to finish this madness.

Celestia and Trixie left the castle together. Soon after that, Celestia would instruct Trixie that they had trotted far enough. Trixie just looked around, and asked with sarcasm, "So, an Equestria in the sky?"

Celestia chuckled, but pointed out, "I wonder what'll happen to us since they only want earth ponies coming into the city."

Trixie shrugged, and said, "Trixie supposes we'll have to just go there and see."

Celestia's horn lit up first, followed by Trixie's, and for the very last time in her life, Celestia would teleport to a world that she was unfamiliar with.
