Power Misuseby JinadanChaptersChapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 1Power Misuse : Chapter 1 Oh no… Are they going to be alright? Twilight inquired of herself as she could only look at her winged friend dive straight down into the darkness as she zoomed into the deep, hollow well at full speed. Nah, of course she’ll be alright! After all, she’s Rainbow Dash! Moments later, she managed to fly out slightly mucky, but otherwise completely unharmed, with the young earth pony grasping on tightly for dear life onto the cyan pegasi’s back. Rainbow landed lightly on the ground, and to her surprise, there was a large crowd cheering and shouting her name in pure excitement when she released the filly from her grasp. “Wow... What’s with the crowd now?” Rainbow inquired as she bowed and slightly blushed. “Thanks everypony... It was really no big deal.” “To me it was! You’re my hero, Rainbow Dash!” The young filly proudly exclaimed as the entire group of eccentric shouting ponies around her cheered louder and clapped their hooves together filling the atmosphere with their cheers. Rainbow was generally flattered by their gestures, boosting her ego ever so slightly. She looked around at the crowd, giving them a warm smile, her cheeks blushing a soft rosy red. Moments later she took off, flying up into the clouds to take a quick cloud shower. Rainbow looks so adorable when she does stuff like that... Twilight thought as her eyes were drawn and ultimately glued to the flying pegasus, and even after Rainbow flew out of everypony’s sight, she just stared up at the clouds. “Hey there, sugar cube?” Applejack waved her hoof in front of Twilight, trying to get her attention back. “Huh… errrm… what?” Twilight woke up from her daydream, shook her head, and stared dumbfounded being caught off guard by the orange mare. “We’re leaving now, Ahe ya’ll okay there Twilight? Ya’ kinda seem, ya’ know, distant.” Applejack said, as Twilight sighed and put on a fake smile to tide over her friend for a while. Ugh, I can’t believe Applejack caught me daydreaming! Does she know my secret? Does anypony else know my secret? Oh no, oh Celestia! Wh-what if she does know? W-will she hate me if she ever finds out? “Erm, yeah, Yes, I mean, I’m just delightful. Uh, well, I-I need to go now.” The lavender mare blurted out, as she teleported away from their sights in a moment of haste. The four ponies looked at each other, wondering if there was something wrong with Twilight. ~~~~~ Twilight started trotting back to the library, and after a quick shower she went to her bedroom and slumped herself down onto the bed. Usually, she would have been reading books at dusk, but today, she couldn’t find any motivation to. For the longest of times, being around her friends made her happy, but she started to change, she had feelings and emotions that she couldn't control anymore, and desires she couldn't suppress. Spike would usually attempt to cheer her up, although it would always end up with herself still feeling just as horrible as she had, sometimes even worse. “Spike, Spike are you there?” she screamed into the empty library, her question falling upon deaf ears as her voice echoed throughout the library. Twilight suddenly recalled that he’d gone off to Canterlot but a few days ago, as Princess Celestia had requested him. Somehow, although Spike’s comforting would most likely not help her at all, she wished that she could at least tell her problems to the little purple dragon. Why in Equestria do I keep thinking of Rainbow Dash like this? Are these feelings real? She’s my friend... and it’s just so wrong... I can’t believe I’m thinking of another mare like this, let alone one of my very closest friends. Twilight sighed lowly, her thoughts were racing faster than they ever had before, and she just didn’t understand why. Every time that she had talked to Rainbow, her heartbeat would rapidly increase and an obvious rosy blush would appear on her cheeks. But recently this issue had become much worse, whenever she was in front of Rainbow now, she would be blushing at her more than she’d ever blushed at anypony before, and even during her studies, thoughts of the cyan pegasus would overtake her mind completely. Twilight felt defeated as she laid there helplessly on her bed staring at the ceiling, letting the thoughts run freely through her mind. Oh Celestia, I’m so baffled now… Rainbow Dash is my friend and she’d never like me in this way, but I can’t curb these feelings anymore! Twilight sighed, turning her face into her pillow and screaming lowly in frustration. ~~~~ “Oh, hey there Twilight.” Rainbow whispered seductively as she leaned closer to Twilight, forcing her to fall back onto the sofa behind them. “Erm... Hello Rainbow Dash...” Twilight couldn’t help but to look directly into Rainbow’s eyes, they were half closed; her soft magenta pupils seemed to stare straight into her soul. Her heart was pounding so fast against her chest she felt that it could have just popped out of her body anytime. Rainbow’s eyes fluttered seductively as she leaned forward to connect her lips with her. Twilight attempted to pull away from the kiss, it sent chills and waves of pleasure down her spine, but it felt just wrong kissing one of her closest friends. Rainbow reacted by putting her front hooves on her cheeks, locking their muzzles together tightly. The unicorn couldn't complain, even if she wanted to, that kiss seemed to melt all her worries away. She melted deeper into the kiss as she felt Rainbow’s tongue touch softly upon her own. The two mare’s tongues wrapped around each other as Rainbow pushed Twilight again, making her lie down flat upon the sofa, and they pulled each other down in a passionate embrace. Twilight could feel her arousal growing as she began to murmur lowly and moan softly in between their kisses. This turned Rainbow on even more than before; she kissed her, moving her tongue passionately around the lavender mare’s mouth. The unicorn had never felt such immense pleasure before in her life, and she never wanted this feeling to end. ~~~~ Twilight was boiling hot down in her haunches and extremely wet, and she started to subconsciously rub herself with her hooves... “Twilight?” a small voice called out “OH MY CELESTIA!” Twilight screamed and, jerking her hooves from underneath her body, she leapt under the blanket hastily. “Who’s that?! Who’s there?!” She blushed, hoping that whoever was there didn’t see her, although she knew that whoever that was already had. “Erm, it’s me, Spike.” He called back, now glaring confused at the blushing mare. In a hasty moment of pure blind anger, Twilight used her magic, grabbed Spike and violently pulled the baby dragon downstairs. “Go to bed right now!” Twilight screamed her embarrassment showing in her voice. “But Twilight, my basket’s upstairs...” Twilight huffed then levitated Spike’s sleeping basket downstairs almost tossing it at him, and extinguished all the candles and lanterns that lit up the room. There was no response afterwards, which gave her a meager hint of relief, at least Spike had no awkward “questions” to ask her. “Geez, I really hope Twilight’s alright.” Spike whispered to himself. “I kinda wonder why she was rubbing herself though. Do all ponies do that?” He wondered, as he slumped himself in the basket, ready for a forced, early slumber. ~~~~ What the buck is wrong with you Twilight Sparkle?! You’re an absolutely filthy, disgusting pony. And not to mention a despicable friend… To say Twilight's mind was scrambled right now would be a devastating understatement, what had happened a moment ago completely tore her up on the inside. Her feelings were now all over the place, and she couldn’t control her tears any longer. Her emotions were killing her now; she could not believe the unforgivable horror she had just done. I was clopping to one of my very best friends! Not only were you clopping to one of your very best friends in all of Equestria, you were clopping to another mare! And you let Spike see you and your dirty clopping! He’s just a baby dragon; you’re destroying his childhood! It was like there was a faint voice in her, tormenting and ultimately the sanity directly out of her. She just wanted to scream at the top of her lungs, as she could not get rid of that horrible feeling festering deep inside of her. After an hour of emotional torture that felt like years, Twilight finally managed to drift off into a tear-filled sleep.

Chapter 2Power Misuse : Chapter 2 Twilight drifted in and out of small snoozes, only to be fully awake an hour later with her mane horribly disheveled. She let out a long yawn; she didn't rest very well last night. It was already late afternoon, and even though she had been sleeping for hours, she still felt extremely tired, both mentally and physically. The lavender mare heaved a heavy sigh. There was nopony to alleviate her depression, and she didn’t know how to spend her day since there was absolutely zero motivation to do anything. She tossed and turned on her bed, her thoughts in a mess. Did she really like Rainbow, or was it just a temporary rush of hormones? The way she daydreamed about Rainbow, it was only a silly crush, right? Those come and go all the time, there was no need to act on it; but on the other hoof, these feelings were so real, and so intense. Maybe something sweet from Sugarcube Corner will cheer me up. The tired unicorn let out a sigh, and got off the bed. After smoothing out the sheets that she had messed up with all her squirming about, she headed down to the main room of the library to see that Spike was not in the house. Well, at least that’s one awkward situation away from my problems. After a quick shower, she left the house and began to trot to Sugarcube Corner. Upon walking there, ear-deafening screams and a large crowd caught her attention, and she went to the scene to see what the commotion was all about. There was a baby screaming in an unattended carriage, heading down full speed on the incomplete pathway. Twilight could only watch in horror, as the baby’s life might just end in a matter of seconds. However, in the nick of time, a rainbow slur zoomed to the baby, grabbed the handle, and slowed the run-a-way cart to a screeching halt only inches from the cliff. Relieved, Twilight, and the other ponies around cheered and clapped for the hero. Rainbow Dash always saves the day! “Oh no, there’s something wrong with the baby!” Rainbow shouted, and the whole crowd shrieked in terror. “She’s not cheering for everypony’s favorite hero, Rainbow Dash!” She exclaimed as she held up the baby. The crowd once again filled the air with praises, this time much louder, feeding Rainbow’s pride even more. That’s... unusual of Rainbow. “There just aren’t enough words in the dictionary to describe Rainbow Dash’s awesomeness!” exclaimed Scootaloo. But yea, she is really awesome. She’s strong, she’s funny, she’s fast. If only I could - She immediately shook the dirty thoughts off. Twilight trotted her way to Sugarcube corner again, hoping Pinkie would not be there. She wanted to get something to ease her depression, even if could only make it recede for a bit. Her hyperactive friend was not there, which was a huge relief. She loved Pinkie as a friend; her carefree personality has never failed to cheer her up when she was feeling down. But for today, she did not want to see any of her friends, as she felt that it would only make her feel worse. “Oh hello, Twilight. Are you okay? You don’t look so good.” Mrs. Cake asked, looking genuinely concerned. Twilight didn’t realize she was carrying a depressed, gloomy look on her face. “Yea, I’m fine. Thanks.” Twilight forced a weak smile. “I would like to have six chocolate lava cupcakes. I’ll have two here, and I'll make the other four a takeaway, please.” Twilight sighed knowing that the comfort food would only curb the feelings for a little bit, and they were not very good for her stomach. But still, it was better than nothing. “Okay, please take a seat, I’ll be back in a moment.” Mrs. Cake said as she trotted in the kitchen. “Hey, Twilight, do you want to try our new Red Pegasus float? It’s on the house, only for today!” Mr. Cake asked, giving her a warm smile afterwards. “Red Pegasus... float?” Twilight gave an incredulous look. “Oh yes, I heard from some customers mixing milk with Red Pegasus makes a sweet drink with a milkshake-like consistency, so we couldn't resist trying to mix ice-cream with Red Pegasus. and it turned out good!” “Oh, okay then.” “So, six chocolate lava cupcakes, that will be seventeen bits, Twilight.” Mr. Cake said, giving her another cheerful smile as he went to create the float. “Here’s twenty, you can keep the change.” She said, as she placed the bits on the counter. “Thank you, Twilight!” The couple said in harmony. Soon her meal was served, looking positively delicious. The cupcakes were generously frosted with dark chocolate icing, completed with a nice glazed cherry on top, and the float just looked heavenly, a huge white ball of vanilla ice-cream floating on the clear yellow liquid. Without hesitation, Twilight took a small bite of the cupcake. Extremely rich, and undeniably sweet. She then proceeded to take a sip of the float. Creamy. In around half an hour, Twilight devoured all the sugary treats. Sure it was delicious, and it filled her stomach, but it didn’t really make her feel any better. She shrugged to herself, and after grabbing the takeaway packet, Twilight left the shop, without Mr. and Mrs. Cake wishing her goodbye as they were busy with the other customers. She went back to her home in the library, putting the bag of cupcakes in her fridge. For some reason, Twilight regretted devouring the cupcakes and float, she didn’t even know why she resorted to that. Her stomach being full made her feel more horrible, it was like there was an emotional, hollow void inside her that was dying to be filled, and in a desperate moment, she tried to shove that void with physical pleasures, and it made her want to puke. Feeling defeated, her emotions spiraling her out of control, she couldn't help but groan in frustration. It was only late afternoon. She stared at her clock. It was only 6.02 pm. The clock was ticking ever so slowly. Twilight decided the only thing she could do to pass time was to re shelve the whole library. By the time the exhausted librarian had reorganized her library, Luna’s moon had begun to rise. Twilight looked at her clock again, it was 8.27 pm. She went for a warm bathe, and after drying herself, she tucked herself in bed. She closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep. ~~~~ It was another afternoon in Ponyville and the elements of harmony, except Rainbow, were sitting at a table set up in the middle of the the tree house library. Dressing up as masked heroes to teach Rainbow a lesson? Hmmm... Twilight thought to herself, and her mind soon floated off to imagine the endless possibilities. “Didn’t ya’ll see how proud she was when she saved them old ponies from ta roof?” Applejack said, looking really annoyed. “I most certainly agree. Something must be done, or Rainbow’s pride might destroy her sometime in the future.” Rarity added. Fluttershy nodded in agreement. “So when are we going to do this? It’s going to be so much fun!” Pinkie squealed in excitement. “We’ll start tomorrow. We’ll dress up in our disguises, and then we’ll patrol Ponyville for any oncoming dangers. We have ta be fast though, we can’t let Rainbow save the day first. Everpony here okay?” Applejack asserted, looking at the other four ponies. “Okie dokie Lokie!” Pinkie exclaimed. “Okay...” Fluttershy whispered. “I’ll work on the costumes once I get back home!” Rarity gave Applejack a wide smile. Twilight didn’t respond. Everypony looked at her while was daydreaming. “Twilight darling, are you okay?” Rarity tapped Twilight’s back. “Huh? Er... What’s going on?” She uttered, with no clue on what was happening. “We’re gonna patrol Ponyville in our disguises, starting tomorrow.” Applejack replied. “Oh... Yea... Sure, why not?” Twilight said, forcing an awkward smile. “It’s settled then! Thanks Twilight for letting us use your library. I best be goin’ now, Bic Macintosh needs me at the farm.” “I’ll be going off too Twilight, I’m going to need some supplies for the costumes.” Rarity added. “I’ll be helping her out!” Spike exclaimed. “I’m going home too. Thanks for everything, Twilight.” Fluttershy said cheerfully. Pinkie already disappeared from the library. Twilight waved them goodbye, and once again she was alone in the library. Twilight wasn’t really so sure about the masked hero thing, but she kind of like the idea of being anonymous to Rainbow, getting to watch her without her even knowing who she was. Somehow, the whole planning session today eased a bit of her depression. The bookworm found some motivation to continue studying, as she had not been for almost a week now. She levitated a thick tome named ‘Stealth 101’, and began to read her way through the evening. Spike did not come back home, and she assumed that he would return late in the night, as he usually did when he went to help Rarity out. After drowning herself in the book for a few hours, eating some leftover salad, and taking a quick shower, Twilight went up to her bedroom. Tomorrow's going to be a long day. The purple mare gulped, as she slid in her covers of her fluffy bed. She lied down, the soft warm embrace of her sheets and blanket comforting her a little more, as she closed her eyes and drifted off into a deep sleep. Note : Don’t mix milk and Red bull! Chapter 3Power Misuse : Chapter 3 “Cause I’m way to shy to ask her out on a date, So I just wait, in your neighbour’s lawn, With my camouflage ready and my camera on.” - RayWillamJohnson The tension was indeed, unbearable. Rainbow streamlined herself, aligning her hooves with the rest of her body. She was almost there, around fifty more meters to the falling hot air balloon. I’m going to save her. Just a little more... Rainbow briefly saw a purple and black equine figure grab the mare, before she smashed right into the envelope and her world faded into darkness. The hot air balloon landed with a huge impact. Luckily, the envelope was soft and cushioned most of her crash landing. A quick, sharp pain spread throughout her body as she hit the ground. The folds of the balloon quickly falling on Rainbow, as she became concealed in darkness. Rainbow Dash opened her eyes. They hurt. Her entire body ached, down to her every last muscle. The first thing she heard was the roar of a crowd. She lifted the covers, only to see a masked pony with a huge hat, cloaked in purple, and with a black cape streaming behind her. The masked mare lifted the victim up off the ground, a huge crowd filling the air with praises afterwards. "Who is that?" she muttered, shaking her head to clear her mind, blinking in disbelief. The mare then leaped into the air and off the scene, leaving the mayor to dub the new hero “The mysterious Mare-Do-Well.” The crowd once again cheered for Ponyville’s new hero. “MARE DO WELL! MARE DO WELL!” “Mare do Well huh? Well that mare would do well to stay out of my way! Ponyville’s only got room for one hero, and that hero is me!” Rainbow growled in irritation as she stood up, not noticing there was a rope tangled on her hoof. She slipped and fell back on the soft covers. Ugh. ~~~~ She tossed and turned on her cloud bed, eyes squeezed shut, body tense. She felt frazzled and she couldn't sleep. Her brain kept spinning in circles, faster and faster, fluctuating thoughts. Who in the hay could Mare Do Well be? Wearing a disguise to humiliate me, who does she think she is? When she closed her eyes, all she could see was a mental image of everypony showering Mare Do Well with praises instead of herself. Also, there was an irritating feeling that came along with it; knowing that she was so close to unmasking her Rainbow could not bring herself to admit it, but deep inside her she was raging with jealousy. She didn’t sleep well that night. The next day... “Ugh... I don’t feel so good.” Rainbow mumbled to herself, trotting back home after a buffet at the local restaurant. Pegasus ponies needed a lot of food as flying required loads of energy, but Rainbow definitely had too much. All that starch made her feel really sleepy. She decided to walk through the alley, as it was the fastest way home if she didn’t fly. She could, but for now, flying just a few meters would drain all her energy. She pulled on her mask, and levitated the hat nicely on her head. Twilight, now in her costume, stood on the edge on the roof of Sugarcube Corner, surveying the streets below. It has been an hour since her patrol, and there was still no noticeable dangers. Actually, she haven’t even seen one pony walk through the alleyway since she was here. She gave a sigh. Why did she agree to patrol the alleyway at night? For some weird reason, all the recent accidents only occurred in the afternoons, and never at night. Then she heard it. The gentle sound of a hoofstep. Slowly lifting her head, she saw Rainbow Dash trotting ever so slowly. She checked around her again. Nopony else walking through the alley, it was only two of them together. She continued to watch her multicolored friend. Her eyes were hungry for her, she wanted to see everything there was on the slender mare to see. Her eyes followed the street as far as they could in the direction Rainbow had gone. She gazed upon everything there was to look at, mesmerizing every detail. She knew this was considered stalking, and it was wrong. It was usually stallions who stalked mares, but this time it was the other way around, except she wasn’t stalking another stallion, she was stalking another pony of the same sex. And not only that, she was stalking one of her best friends. It was just so wrong. Yet it strangely aroused her. Twilight wanted to stop, but her fleshly desires wanted otherwise. Twilight almost got a perfect view of her flank, until she turned at a corner, leaving her sights. She let out a long sigh of disappointment in her head. Quietly, she leaped to another roof, managing to regain her view of Rainbow. Twilight slipped from street to street, ducking behind cover and leaping from roof to roof as she trailed the pegasus, and Rainbow continued to trot her way back through the alley, never realizing that the pony she who stole her title was much closer than she thought. She leaped off a building, landing on another roof closer to Rainbow. Her hooves hit the surface with a loud clopping sound. It was just her luck, she had landed on creaky wooden boards, covered with a little bit of hay. Please don’t hear that. Please don’t. “Who’s there? I heard that!” Rainbow shouted, as her paranoia meter blew up. Oh Celestia! Buck. Hurry, telepo- wait no. That will give away my position. Stay calm... She jumped off to the ground, and sprinted away, trying to avoid the pegasus. But of course, she was no match for the athletic mare. Rainbow landed right in front of her. “Who in the hay are you?” She snarled in anger. She began to pace around her briskly from side to side in quick little trots, as her multicolor tail swished back and forth. No response. “Show yourself!” Her voice echoed through the houses, as the two of them faced each other in silence. Rainbow lunged forward towards her, in a attempt to bite her mask off. Twilight managed to react in time, a quick jerk backwards saving the whole scheme. Rainbow stumbled, and Twilight used this opportunity to sprint away from Rainbow’s sights, teleporting her way home afterwards. She searched the whole alley, but it only proved fruitless. She even patrolled the air despite her fatigue, scanning from house to house for what felt like countless hours. She'd lost track of time a long time ago and had no idea how long it had actually been. Rainbow rubbed her eyes wearily with a hoof as a small tear came out together with a loud yawn. Her wings ached, and drowsiness kicking in. Giving a sigh, she gave up the search and began to fly the other way around. Then she saw it, just in the distance; her cloud house, not too far away. She began to fly her way back home. Some sleep would do her good. ~~~~ Twilight breathed out heavily in exhaustion. The quick, long distance teleportation spell had depleted a great deal of her stamina. She removed her costume and threw it on the floor, not caring where it landed. She paced back and forth relentlessly, hoping her heart rate would drop, but it did not. That had been too close, if not for reflexively jerking backwards, The whole scheme would have failed, and it would be a lot of trouble explaining everything to Rainbow. She sat upright, trying to organize her frenzied thoughts. You better be more careful next time, Twilight. But somehow, she had enjoyed every second watching Rainbow in the dark. All that waiting, and evading, was totally worth it. It was so horribly wrong, taking advantage of a mission to humble her, to stalk her best friend. Yet it felt so good. Every part of her just wanted to see more of Rainbow, and touch her. Secretly, she wished there would be days like this again. Maybe next time she should play with Rainbow. Maybe she should purposely walk in front of Rainbow, catching her attention, then run away. She wouldn't know who she is behind her mask anyway. But would that be too dangerous? Well, it would be fun to tantalize Rainbow, and like the saying goes, all good things come with a risk. A loud yawn escaped her mouth, indicating her drowsiness. Spike snoring away in his basket, snug in the covers, along the base of the stairwell only reinforced the droopy-eyed mare’s want to rest. She took a much needed shower, and proceeded to her bedroom upstairs afterwards. As she descended on to the bed, she could feel the sweet ethereal slumber coursing through her body, making her drift into a deep sleep.
Chapter 1Power Misuse : Chapter 1 Oh no… Are they going to be alright? Twilight inquired of herself as she could only look at her winged friend dive straight down into the darkness as she zoomed into the deep, hollow well at full speed. Nah, of course she’ll be alright! After all, she’s Rainbow Dash! Moments later, she managed to fly out slightly mucky, but otherwise completely unharmed, with the young earth pony grasping on tightly for dear life onto the cyan pegasi’s back.

Uh, well, I-I need to go now.” The lavender mare blurted out, as she teleported away from their sights in a moment of haste. The four ponies looked at each other, wondering if there was something wrong with Twilight. ~~~~~ Twilight started trotting back to the library, and after a quick shower she went to her bedroom and slumped herself down onto the bed.

There was nopony to alleviate her depression, and she didn’t know how to spend her day since there was absolutely zero motivation to do anything. She tossed and turned on her bed, her thoughts in a mess. Did she really like Rainbow, or was it just a temporary rush of hormones? The way she daydreamed about Rainbow, it was only a silly crush, right? Those come and go all the time, there was no need to act on it; but on the other hoof, these feelings were so real, and so intense. Maybe something sweet from Sugarcube Corner will cheer me up. The tired unicorn let out a sigh, and got off the bed. After smoothing out the sheets that she had messed up with all her squirming about, she headed down to the main room of the library to see that Spike was not in the house. Well, at least that’s one awkward situation away from my problems. After a quick shower, she left the house and began to trot to Sugarcube Corner. Upon walking there, ear-deafening screams and a large crowd caught her attention, and she went to the scene to see what the commotion was all about. There was a baby screaming in an unattended carriage, heading down full speed on the incomplete pathway. Twilight could only watch in horror, as the baby’s life might just end in a matter of seconds. However, in the nick of time, a rainbow slur zoomed to the baby, grabbed the handle, and slowed the run-a-way cart to a screeching halt only inches from the cliff. Relieved, Twilight, and the other ponies around cheered and clapped for the hero. Rainbow Dash always saves the day! “Oh no, there’s something wrong with the baby!” Rainbow shouted, and the whole crowd shrieked in terror. “She’s not cheering for everypony’s favorite hero, Rainbow Dash!” She exclaimed as she held up the baby. The crowd once again filled the air with praises, this time much louder, feeding Rainbow’s pride even more. That’s... unusual of Rainbow. “There just aren’t enough words in the dictionary to describe Rainbow Dash’s awesomeness!” exclaimed Scootaloo. But yea, she is really awesome. She’s strong, she’s funny, she’s fast. If only I could - She immediately shook the dirty thoughts off. Twilight trotted her way to Sugarcube corner again, hoping Pinkie would not be there. She wanted to get something to ease her depression, even if could only make it recede for a bit. Her hyperactive friend was not there, which was a huge relief. She loved Pinkie as a friend; her carefree personality has never failed to cheer her up when she was feeling down. But for today, she did not want to see any of her friends, as she felt that it would only make her feel worse. “Oh hello, Twilight. Are you okay? You don’t look so good.” Mrs. Cake asked, looking genuinely concerned. Twilight didn’t realize she was carrying a depressed, gloomy look on her face. “Yea, I’m fine. Thanks.” Twilight forced a weak smile. “I would like to have six chocolate lava cupcakes. I’ll have two here, and I'll make the other four a takeaway, please.” Twilight sighed knowing that the comfort food would only curb the feelings for a little bit, and they were not very good for her stomach. But still, it was better than nothing. “Okay, please take a seat, I’ll be back in a moment.” Mrs. Cake said as she trotted in the kitchen. “Hey, Twilight, do you want to try our new Red Pegasus float? It’s on the house, only for today!” Mr. Cake asked, giving her a warm smile afterwards. “Red Pegasus... float?” Twilight gave an incredulous look. “Oh yes, I heard from some customers mixing milk with Red Pegasus makes a sweet drink with a milkshake-like consistency, so we couldn't resist trying to mix ice-cream with Red Pegasus. and it turned out good!” “Oh, okay then.” “So, six chocolate lava cupcakes, that will be seventeen bits, Twilight.” Mr. Cake said, giving her another cheerful smile as he went to create the float. “Here’s twenty, you can keep the change.” She said, as she placed the bits on the counter. “Thank you, Twilight!” The couple said in harmony. Soon her meal was served, looking positively delicious. The cupcakes were generously frosted with dark chocolate icing, completed with a nice glazed cherry on top, and the float just looked heavenly, a huge white ball of vanilla ice-cream floating on the clear yellow liquid. Without hesitation, Twilight took a small bite of the cupcake. Extremely rich, and undeniably sweet. She then proceeded to take a sip of the float. Creamy. In around half an hour, Twilight devoured all the sugary treats. Sure it was delicious, and it filled her stomach, but it didn’t really make her feel any better. She shrugged to herself, and after grabbing the takeaway packet, Twilight left the shop, without Mr. and Mrs. Cake wishing her goodbye as they were busy with the other customers. She went back to her home in the library, putting the bag of cupcakes in her fridge. For some reason, Twilight regretted devouring the cupcakes and float, she didn’t even know why she resorted to that. Her stomach being full made her feel more horrible, it was like there was an emotional, hollow void inside her that was dying to be filled, and in a desperate moment, she tried to shove that void with physical pleasures, and it made her want to puke. Feeling defeated, her emotions spiraling her out of control, she couldn't help but groan in frustration. It was only late afternoon. She stared at her clock. It was only 6.02 pm. The clock was ticking ever so slowly. Twilight decided the only thing she could do to pass time was to re shelve the whole library. By the time the exhausted librarian had reorganized her library, Luna’s moon had begun to rise. Twilight looked at her clock again, it was 8.27 pm. She went for a warm bathe, and after drying herself, she tucked herself in bed. She closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep. ~~~~ It was another afternoon in Ponyville and the elements of harmony, except Rainbow, were sitting at a table set up in the middle of the the tree house library. Dressing up as masked heroes to teach Rainbow a lesson? Hmmm... Twilight thought to herself, and her mind soon floated off to imagine the endless possibilities. “Didn’t ya’ll see how proud she was when she saved them old ponies from ta roof?” Applejack said, looking really annoyed. “I most certainly agree. Something must be done, or Rainbow’s pride might destroy her sometime in the future.” Rarity added. Fluttershy nodded in agreement. “So when are we going to do this? It’s going to be so much fun!” Pinkie squealed in excitement. “We’ll start tomorrow. We’ll dress up in our disguises, and then we’ll patrol Ponyville for any oncoming dangers. We have ta be fast though, we can’t let Rainbow save the day first. Everpony here okay?” Applejack asserted, looking at the other four ponies. “Okie dokie Lokie!” Pinkie exclaimed. “Okay...” Fluttershy whispered. “I’ll work on the costumes once I get back home!” Rarity gave Applejack a wide smile. Twilight didn’t respond. Everypony looked at her while was daydreaming. “Twilight darling, are you okay?” Rarity tapped Twilight’s back. “Huh? Er... What’s going on?” She uttered, with no clue on what was happening. “We’re gonna patrol Ponyville in our disguises, starting tomorrow.” Applejack replied. “Oh... Yea... Sure, why not?” Twilight said, forcing an awkward smile. “It’s settled then! Thanks Twilight for letting us use your library. I best be goin’ now, Bic Macintosh needs me at the farm.” “I’ll be going off too Twilight, I’m going to need some supplies for the costumes.” Rarity added. “I’ll be helping her out!” Spike exclaimed. “I’m going home too. Thanks for everything, Twilight.” Fluttershy said cheerfully. Pinkie already disappeared from the library. Twilight waved them goodbye, and once again she was alone in the library. Twilight wasn’t really so sure about the masked hero thing, but she kind of like the idea of being anonymous to Rainbow, getting to watch her without her even knowing who she was. Somehow, the whole planning session today eased a bit of her depression. The bookworm found some motivation to continue studying, as she had not been for almost a week now. She levitated a thick tome named ‘Stealth 101’, and began to read her way through the evening. Spike did not come back home, and she assumed that he would return late in the night, as he usually did when he went to help Rarity out. After drowning herself in the book for a few hours, eating some leftover salad, and taking a quick shower, Twilight went up to her bedroom. Tomorrow's going to be a long day. The purple mare gulped, as she slid in her covers of her fluffy bed. She lied down, the soft warm embrace of her sheets and blanket comforting her a little more, as she closed her eyes and drifted off into a deep sleep. Note : Don’t mix milk and Red bull!
Chapter 3Power Misuse : Chapter 3 “Cause I’m way to shy to ask her out on a date, So I just wait, in your neighbour’s lawn, With my camouflage ready and my camera on.” - RayWillamJohnson The tension was indeed, unbearable. Rainbow streamlined herself, aligning her hooves with the rest of her body. She was almost there, around fifty more meters to the falling hot air balloon. I’m going to save her. Just a little more... Rainbow briefly saw a purple and black equine figure grab the mare, before she smashed right into the envelope and her world faded into darkness. The hot air balloon landed with a huge impact. Luckily, the envelope was soft and cushioned most of her crash landing. A quick, sharp pain spread throughout her body as she hit the ground. The folds of the balloon quickly falling on Rainbow, as she became concealed in darkness. Rainbow Dash opened her eyes. They hurt. Her entire body ached, down to her every last muscle. The first thing she heard was the roar of a crowd. She lifted the covers, only to see a masked pony with a huge hat, cloaked in purple, and with a black cape streaming behind her. The masked mare lifted the victim up off the ground, a huge crowd filling the air with praises afterwards. "Who is that?" she muttered, shaking her head to clear her mind, blinking in disbelief. The mare then leaped into the air and off the scene, leaving the mayor to dub the new hero “The mysterious Mare-Do-Well.” The crowd once again cheered for Ponyville’s new hero. “MARE DO WELL! MARE DO WELL!” “Mare do Well huh? Well that mare would do well to stay out of my way! Ponyville’s only got room for one hero, and that hero is me!” Rainbow growled in irritation as she stood up, not noticing there was a rope tangled on her hoof. She slipped and fell back on the soft covers. Ugh. ~~~~ She tossed and turned on her cloud bed, eyes squeezed shut, body tense. She felt frazzled and she couldn't sleep. Her brain kept spinning in circles, faster and faster, fluctuating thoughts. Who in the hay could Mare Do Well be? Wearing a disguise to humiliate me, who does she think she is? When she closed her eyes, all she could see was a mental image of everypony showering Mare Do Well with praises instead of herself. Also, there was an irritating feeling that came along with it; knowing that she was so close to unmasking her Rainbow could not bring herself to admit it, but deep inside her she was raging with jealousy. She didn’t sleep well that night. The next day... “Ugh... I don’t feel so good.” Rainbow mumbled to herself, trotting back home after a buffet at the local restaurant. Pegasus ponies needed a lot of food as flying required loads of energy, but Rainbow definitely had too much. All that starch made her feel really sleepy. She decided to walk through the alley, as it was the fastest way home if she didn’t fly. She could, but for now, flying just a few meters would drain all her energy. She pulled on her mask, and levitated the hat nicely on her head. Twilight, now in her costume, stood on the edge on the roof of Sugarcube Corner, surveying the streets below. It has been an hour since her patrol, and there was still no noticeable dangers. Actually, she haven’t even seen one pony walk through the alleyway since she was here. She gave a sigh. Why did she agree to patrol the alleyway at night? For some weird reason, all the recent accidents only occurred in the afternoons, and never at night. Then she heard it. The gentle sound of a hoofstep. Slowly lifting her head, she saw Rainbow Dash trotting ever so slowly. She checked around her again. Nopony else walking through the alley, it was only two of them together. She continued to watch her multicolored friend. Her eyes were hungry for her, she wanted to see everything there was on the slender mare to see. Her eyes followed the street as far as they could in the direction Rainbow had gone. She gazed upon everything there was to look at, mesmerizing every detail. She knew this was considered stalking, and it was wrong. It was usually stallions who stalked mares, but this time it was the other way around, except she wasn’t stalking another stallion, she was stalking another pony of the same sex. And not only that, she was stalking one of her best friends. It was just so wrong. Yet it strangely aroused her. Twilight wanted to stop, but her fleshly desires wanted otherwise. Twilight almost got a perfect view of her flank, until she turned at a corner, leaving her sights. She let out a long sigh of disappointment in her head. Quietly, she leaped to another roof, managing to regain her view of Rainbow. Twilight slipped from street to street, ducking behind cover and leaping from roof to roof as she trailed the pegasus, and Rainbow continued to trot her way back through the alley, never realizing that the pony she who stole her title was much closer than she thought. She leaped off a building, landing on another roof closer to Rainbow. Her hooves hit the surface with a loud clopping sound. It was just her luck, she had landed on creaky wooden boards, covered with a little bit of hay. Please don’t hear that. Please don’t. “Who’s there? I heard that!” Rainbow shouted, as her paranoia meter blew up. Oh Celestia! Buck. Hurry, telepo- wait no. That will give away my position. Stay calm... She jumped off to the ground, and sprinted away, trying to avoid the pegasus. But of course, she was no match for the athletic mare. Rainbow landed right in front of her. “Who in the hay are you?” She snarled in anger. She began to pace around her briskly from side to side in quick little trots, as her multicolor tail swished back and forth. No response. “Show yourself!” Her voice echoed through the houses, as the two of them faced each other in silence. Rainbow lunged forward towards her, in a attempt to bite her mask off. Twilight managed to react in time, a quick jerk backwards saving the whole scheme. Rainbow stumbled, and Twilight used this opportunity to sprint away from Rainbow’s sights, teleporting her way home afterwards. She searched the whole alley, but it only proved fruitless. She even patrolled the air despite her fatigue, scanning from house to house for what felt like countless hours. She'd lost track of time a long time ago and had no idea how long it had actually been. Rainbow rubbed her eyes wearily with a hoof as a small tear came out together with a loud yawn. Her wings ached, and drowsiness kicking in. Giving a sigh, she gave up the search and began to fly the other way around. Then she saw it, just in the distance; her cloud house, not too far away. She began to fly her way back home. Some sleep would do her good. ~~~~ Twilight breathed out heavily in exhaustion. The quick, long distance teleportation spell had depleted a great deal of her stamina. She removed her costume and threw it on the floor, not caring where it landed. She paced back and forth relentlessly, hoping her heart rate would drop, but it did not. That had been too close, if not for reflexively jerking backwards, The whole scheme would have failed, and it would be a lot of trouble explaining everything to Rainbow. She sat upright, trying to organize her frenzied thoughts. You better be more careful next time, Twilight. But somehow, she had enjoyed every second watching Rainbow in the dark. All that waiting, and evading, was totally worth it. It was so horribly wrong, taking advantage of a mission to humble her, to stalk her best friend. Yet it felt so good. Every part of her just wanted to see more of Rainbow, and touch her. Secretly, she wished there would be days like this again. Maybe next time she should play with Rainbow. Maybe she should purposely walk in front of Rainbow, catching her attention, then run away. She wouldn't know who she is behind her mask anyway. But would that be too dangerous? Well, it would be fun to tantalize Rainbow, and like the saying goes, all good things come with a risk. A loud yawn escaped her mouth, indicating her drowsiness. Spike snoring away in his basket, snug in the covers, along the base of the stairwell only reinforced the droopy-eyed mare’s want to rest. She took a much needed shower, and proceeded to her bedroom upstairs afterwards. As she descended on to the bed, she could feel the sweet ethereal slumber coursing through her body, making her drift into a deep sleep.
