Twisk yawned as stood up, she walked downstairs with a smile. She was about to make breakfast when Pinkie/Amber entered with a scowl “Okay, Frisk do you know that Rarity is trying to control the weather?!”

Twisk blinked “What?!” She galloped outside to see Rarity levitated storm clouds and snow clouds into the wrong places “Why is this happening and where is Rainbow Dash?!”

Pinkie/Amber pointed to Rarity's flank “She has Rainbow Dash's Cutie Mark, she believe it’s her special talent to control the weather and annoying everypony in town.”

Twisk then blinks as she sees Fluttershy trying to tell jokes to make ponies laugh as well as using different masks. Twisk frowned “Why is Fluttershy trying to be you, she has no reason to do so?”

Pinkie/Amber frowned “Who is taking care of Fluttershy's cottage then!”

Twisk frowned “I don’t know but I intend to find out.” The two humans headed towards Fluttershy's cottage, the opened the door to see Discord talking to the animals while Rainbow sulked in the corner with Fluttershy's cutie mark on both flanks.

Discord frowned “You know I love chaos but this is ridiculous. I don’t swap ponies talents, do either of you have any idea of how this happened?”

Pinkie/Amber turned to Twilight “Have you cast any magic recently, because if you practised the wrong spell it could have dire consequences.”

Twisk frowned “I did read out a spell that Starswirl last night, it was unfinished though. I don’t know how this pertains to the situation.”

Pinkie/Amber and Discord looked at each other before facepalming. Discord frowned “Celestia seems to have failed to teach you about verbal spells, ones that just by reading it aloud you cast it.”

Pinkie/Amber nodded “And judging by the spells effects Applejack is probably making dresses. In fact if I wasn’t in my human form when you cast the spell I would be at Sweet Apple Acres, now if you excuse me I do actually need to go there. I may not be Applejack but I have some experience in farming. I’m sure I can help them out somehow.”

Discord frowned “I’ll try to keep Ponyville intact while you figure out a way to fix this.” He disappeared with a flash of light as Pinkie ran toward Sweet Apple Acres.

Twisk slowly walked back towards the Golden Oaks Library, she entered the Library and slumped over on her desk as Spike looked at her with a frown. Spike frowned “What are you doing?”

Twisk laid there “What does it look like, I’m mopping because I switched all of my friends Cutie marks except Amber’s and they are all think that is their special talent.”

Spike facepalmed “Twilight, you are their friend and you can help them because they mean a lot to you. You also mean a lot to them so go and help them.”

Twilight smiled “You’re a genius Spike, I have an idea.” She levitated the six elements out of the case and ran outside, she found Fluttershy trying to entertain ponies.

Fluttershy looked like she was packing her bags “I can’t make anypony laugh, I’m a failure at my own special talent.”

Twilight frowned “Before you go Rainbow Dash needs you assistance, her animals are going wild.”

Fluttershy nodded “I don’t know much about animals but Rainbow’s my friend and I will not hesitate to help her.” The two ponies headed towards the cottage, they entered to see Rainbow tied up by the animals.

Fluttershy took a deep breath and smile warmly “Hello.. little woodland creatures? I know you are all angry and are giving Rainbow a rough time but it would be very helpful if you would all calm down a bit.” She smiled as she began feeding them “This feels right, like it’s my destiny.”

Twisk smiled as she put on the element on Fluttershy, Twisk jumped up and down “It worked.’

Fluttershy blinked “What happened to me exactly and why does Rainbow have my Cutie Mark?”

Twisk frowned “I think the bigger concern is Rarity is trying to control the weather.”

Fluttershy frowned as she began untying Rainbow “Well we better fix that.”

The two mares guided Rainbow out of the cottage to Ponyville proper. Fluttershy smiled as she pointed to Rarity “Rainbow, you can help Rarity. Please for her sake.”

Rainbow nodded nervously “I will give it my best shot.” As she began to buck and move clouds she smiled. Fluttershy placed the Element of Loyalty onto her neck and Rainbow blinked “What going on?’

Twisk frowned “We don’t have time, Applejack is making dresses.”

Rainbow blinked at Rarity “Okay that is a disaster, let’s go.” Rainbow smiled “Rarity Applejack needs your help.”

Rarity frowned “I’m not sure about this…”

Applejack was sowing dresses made out of mismatched pieces of fabric together. Rarity began making beautiful dresses with her magic, Rarity looked around bewildered “I swear I just had a horrible nightmare, Applejack was making dresses.”

Twisk frowned “Never mind we need to help Applejack.” The whole group save Applejack nodded as they headed to Sweet Apple Acres.

Pinkie/Amber frowned as she looked at Applejack “You need to do this, come on we believe in you.” It didn’t take long for Applejack to return to normal, after Pinkie/Amber threw a bolstering Ponyville’s spirits party the six mares were in the Golden Oaks Library.

Twisk smiled “I believe I know what we need to do to finish the spell, our bond with each other.” Twisk resumed her pony form and Pinkie/Amber sighed as she did the same, they each wore their elements and then as Twilight cast the spell the other five elements fired at Twilight’s element causing her to vanish.

Applejack blinked “What just happened?”

Pinkie/Amber smiled “Something rare and special, something that happens very rarely and only to those who earn it” she then frowned “still I feel that this might not go smoothly.”

Twisk’s eyes opened she looked to see Celestia standing before her in a strange cosmic realm, Celestia smiled “Welcome my faithful student.”

Twisk blinked “Where are we?”

Celestia’s smile grew as a twinkle formed in her eyes “A place where destiny is realised.” The two passed through a door, Twisk looked around in awe as pictures formed from moments in both her lives. Celestia smiled “Now it is time for you destiny to be realised.”

Celestia’s smile vanished as a look of horror overcame her face as rather than a bright white light a shadowy darkness engulfed Twilight as she left the realm. Twilight returned to the realm flaring out a pair of massive bat wings, her eyes opened glowing red and slitted all of her friends save Pinkie/Amber who had resumed her human form were stunned.

Twisk bared her fangs and leapt forward only for her fang to bite into a red bag in Pinkie/Amber’s hands. Pinkie/Amber frowned “I appeared Frisk is a Thestral Alicorn, she is vampiric which means she needs blood to live. It’s a recessive trait in thestrals but the Alicorn variant always has it.

Celestia landed “That was quick thinking, I was worried she would kill somepony.”

Pinkie/Amber rolled her eyes “I know quite a few vampiric thestrals, spare blood packs are key.”

Twisk blinked “What happened.”

Pinkie/Amber deadpanned “Long story short you’re an Alicorn and a vampire.”

Twisk frowned at Celestia “Was this the plan.”

Celestia frowned “The Alicorn part yes, the rest no.”

Twisk nodded “Good, I’m going to get some sleep.” Twisk entered the library with a yawn.

Pinkie/Amber frowned “I don’t think she realised it’s daylight. Still in any case I will take care of her urges.” The rest of the group nodded happy they didn’t have to deal with the vampire side of Twisk.
