It had been two weeks since they elements met with Celestia, Ponyville quickly adapted to the three humans living amidst them. In Sugarcube Corner’s kitchen, several ovens were running as were several bowls were being mixed as Pinkie/Amber ran around swapping between each bowl rapidly while checking each oven at the same speed.

Agate was mixing a bowl of ingredients in the corner trying to ignore her sister’s mad dash around the kitchen. Agate finally got fed up of the movement, she turned around “Why are running around like that, shouldn’t we be more patient.”

Pinkie/Amber shook her head “Small businesses like Sugarcube Corner always struggle to keep up with the demand. When I came here for the first time, the Cakes were struggling to keep up with the demand. I can move fast enough to keep them ahead of schedule and bake enough goods to keep them in the clear for a week ahead of time if necessary. It’s why when I left for two days they were fine.”

Agate frowned “I must admit I don’t know much about small businesses, I took up the odd job where I could get it but it was uncommon.”

Pinkie/Amber nodded “Well then hurry up, we have one thousand cupcake to bake in the next hour.” Agate gasped as she quickly began mixing her batch.

Meanwhile in the Golden Oaks Library Twisk was on a ladder that Spike was supporting. She had five books in under her arm as she reorganised the shelf, she turned to Spike “I must admit I never realised how useful having digits was until now, I took for granted and then when I was reborn in this world I just replaced it with magic.’

Spike laughed “Well yeah appendages are quite useful and…”

The library shook as a voice boomed “Twilight Sparkle, The Great and Powerful Trixie challenges you to a duel, if you refuse else this town will suffer my wrath!”

Twisk leapt out the window with a glare only to see several shadowy figures standing near Trixie who had a strange red and black amulet. Trixie growled “Who are you?!”

Twisk frowned “I’m Twilight, a lot has changed for me since we last me and I intend to end this.” She swung a red sword at Trixie only to blocked by one the dark figures who threw her away, Twisk growled “Hiding behind bodyguards are you Trixie?!”

Trixie chuckled “You’re not the real Twilight, I wanted to face Twilight the unicorn not whatever this is.”

Just then one of the shadowy figure was struck with an orange spear only for it to turn to her with a growl, Agate growled “The beasts are made of pure hatred, due to the hatred in your attacks they will only get stronger with time.”

Twisk grimaced “Well that’s just great. Where is Amber, wasn’t she with you?!”

Pinkie/Amber slammed a green orb into one of the beasts causing it to disintegrate. She frowned “Agate you need to obliterate each one with a big attack, spears won’t work on them.”

Agate raised an eyebrow “How did you kill that when then?”

Pinkie/Amber rolled her eyes “My soul is Kindness and Integrity, Kindness is the bane of Hatred and thus it is quite effective against these beasts.”

Agate nodded as she fired a huge orange blast obliterating three of the shadow beasts, Pinkie/Amber delivered a series of devastating punches and kicks glowing with green energy tearing the beasts to shreds. Trixie growled her eyes slowly turning black “Kill them already, you are beings of hatred for fuck’s sake!”

Suddenly hordes of the creature began running out of the Everfree Forest assaulting the trio. Agate began to tire “Anyone got a plan, they just keep coming!”

Twisk growled “Well I can’t kill them can I, they just feed off my power, what the fuck am I supposed to do?!”

Pinkie/Amber grimaced as her body began to glow green “I have a plan, just hope it works” She let out a massive wave of green energy, the beasts of hatred evaporated as the wave hit the.

Trixie screamed as she tried to push back the green barrier “I will have my revenge, I can’t stop now I’ve come too far!” Her red and black magic began to falter before dissipating as the green light slammed into the Alicorn Amulet. The cursed amulet began to crack as green energy welled up within it before it exploded.

Twisk stormed over to the weakened Trixie, she lifted the mare up in the air with her sword in her hand “Give me one reason why I shouldn’t gut you like a fish!”

Trixie cried “I’m sorry, I just want to show you that I was better than you and then when I grabbed the amulet I went mad with power!”

Pinkie/Amber frowned as she placed a hand on Twisk’s shoulder “Take a deep breath, she made a mistake and I’m here to stop you before you make another one. She let anger cloud her judgement and you are about to do the same.”

Twisk dropped the mare as she stormed off in fury, Pinkie/Amber turned to Trixie “I want you to stay in town for a while, you made a mistake but with time you will be forgiven.”

Agate nodded “I have done quite a few horrible, things that can never be undone but I’m trying to make up for them one step at a time. My sister Amber has forgiven me for the pain I’ve caused her, my brother on the other hand hasn’t been so forgiving but I hope with time effort we will be a family again.”

Trixie smiled weakly “I think I can do that but where would I stay?”

Agate smiled “I have a small two bedroom cottage and I could use a roommate, just clean up any mess you make and we’ll be good.

Trixie smiled “Thank you, I will be over in a week or two. I have to collect my stuff from home.”Agate and Pinkie/Amber smiled as the showmare galloped towards the train station.
