Twinkle finished writing out her messages to Starlight, Trixie and Sunset, she decided earlier that day she should inform her student and friends about what’s happened so that they’ll be better prepared.

“There! A twenty-page dissertation on recent events surrounding our current situation, hope Starlight and Sunset like reading all this!” Twinkle cheered before using her magic to teleport the letter through the portal, naturally for Twilight she always found that hard, but now that she was Twinkle, it wasn’t nearly as hard. Wonder why? Was it power? Was it knowledge? Was it luck? She’ll need to write out a checklist of possibilities.

Better yet… Why doesn’t she go visit them instead?! She hasn’t seen them since she was Twilight after all!

Twinkle used her enhanced magic to pull the message back through the portal and back to her hands.

“I’ll ask them directly what they think of the new me!” Twinkle began bouncing around the room at a quick pace.

Spike came downstairs to the ruckus and saw Twinkle putting things together.

“What’s going on Twinkle?” Spike asked.

“I’ll visit the human world and see our friends,” Twinkle said.

“Uh, don’t you think you should inform them ahead of time? This might be shocking to them,” Spike advised.

“Surprises are the best, maybe they’ll enjoy the new me!” Twinkle said.

“Twinkle you need to inform them, what if they think you're an imposter or something?” Spike reasoned.

“No need to worry, Starlight knows her teacher!” Twinkle said writing out the invites.

“Here! Send these out if you could please,” Twinkle said.

“What are these?” Spike asked.

“Invites, I’ll bet that Zap and Charity would like to see their pre-merged forms, it could give them some peace of mind knowing that somewhere there are other versions of their unmerged selves,” Twinkle reasoned.

“Uhm… I guess that makes sense,” Spike said.

“Great! See ya Spike!” Twinkle jumped into the portal.

“Uh… yeah see ya…” Spike said with a sigh, knowing that only the Pinkie side of Twinkle could cook something like this up so quickly.

Twinkle exited the portal and looked at herself.

She didn’t look much different as a human than when she was Twilight. There were a few differences…

Namely, her figure or her lighter purple skin or her hairstyle that was slightly different than before, having Pinkie’s curls in the back and Twilight's straight hair upfront or the fact that she’s bouncing a little from her barely contained excitement to meet her friends.

Not wasting another moment she skipped into the school.

Spike had sent the messages only thirty minutes ago when he heard a knock and he went downstairs and opened the door to see Zap Apple and Charity.

“Where is she?” Zap demanded.

“In the human world,” Spike said.

“She already left?” Charity said concernedly.

“Ah took time off of work ta stop her from causing problems,” Zap said with some frustration.

“What’s so bad about her going to see your human counterparts? I mean she could have warned them but you know Twinkle can’t contain her spontaneousness,” Spike asked.

"We should have given them heads up. It feels wrong to drop this on them out of nowhere," Charity said.

"Ah agree, we gotta go retrieve her,” Zap said.

“Are you sure? Neither Rainbow or Applejack ever went to the human world like me and Twilight did,” Spike said.

“It’ll be fine, ah can handle it,” Zap said confidently.

“Are you certain?” Charity asked.

“Ah am, where’s the mirror?” Zap asked Spike.

“This way, but follow my lead while we’re there, I know that place better than you two,” Spike stated his condition.

“Got it,” Zap said.

“I understand,” Charity said.

Twinkle hopped through the hallways of Canterlot high, glancing around and looking for her friends.

“Hmm… nope…nope…nooooope!” Twinkle said looking around before bumping into a familiar figure.

“Oopsie! Sorry-” Twinkle paused as she saw it was Flash Sentry.

“Huh? Twilight?” Flash said confusedly.

“Oh! Uhh… Hi?” She said meekly.

“Hmm, actually sorry about that, You look alot like a girl I knew,” Flash said admittedly a little disappointed.

“Yeah… eheheh… easy mistake to make,” Twinkle said nervously.

“Are you new here?” Flash asked.

“You could say that, speaking of things to say do you know where Sunset and her friends Starlight and Trixie are?” Twinkle asked.

“Actually last I heard they were in the gym with their other friends,” Flash said.

“Thanks!” And before Flash could respond Twinkle darted off.

“Uhh… cool, see you later,” Flash said, honestly something was so familiar about her but he decided to brush it off as a coincidence.

Twinkle rounded a corner and actually felt a few tears slip loose.

“Flash… maybe I should have told him… no, it’s better he doesn’t know,” Twinkle said honestly scared he’d react like Shining Armor did.

“Just play the stranger, it’s better this way,” Twinkle said before slapping herself and taking a deep breath before moving on.

Zap and Charity exited the portal and immediately fell over.

“Oof!” Zap grunted.

“Ow!” Charity said, honestly glad she fell on and not under Zap.

“I told you girls to be careful,” Spike said as he walked through the portal.

The two tried awkwardly to get up but found themselves stumbling over their new feet.

“The hay? What happened to mah hooves?” Zap exclaimed.

“My face is so flat, and my fur is gone!” Charity began to hyperventilate.

“Easy girls,” Spike walked in front of him after checking himself out, admittedly disappointed he didn’t grow as much as a dog as he did a dragon.

“Easy?! This ain’t easy! Ah can’t figure out how to balance without hooves or a tail and where’s mah wings?!” Zap said getting up only to stagger back to the ground.

“It took Twilight a few tries but she was able to get the hang of it quickly,” Spike said.

“I think I’m getting it,” Charity said, managing to get to her feet and after a little staggering she managed to stay upright.

“Ah’ll get the hang of it soon,” Zap Apple said as she used the school statue to get upright.

“Well get used to it quickly because we need to find Twinkle,” Spike said, seeing a bunch of other students staring at the group.

“Nothing to see here!” Zap said loudly and the students quickly dispersed.

Rainbow was playing against Applejack in basketball.

"Ah got ya!" Applejack said as she snatched the ball from Rainbow.

"Oh no you don't!” Rainbow said as she managed to maneuver around Applejack and snatch the ball back from her, Applejack made to grab it but Rainbow performed a high jump over Applejack and threw the ball into the hoop.

“Ha! I win!” Rainbow cheered.

“Ah’ll get ya next time,” Applejack said lightly punching her in the shoulder.

“Tell ya what, fire a shot from the other side of the court and I’ll hand it to you,” RD said.

“Alright, yer on!” Applejack said as she grabbed the ball and went to the other side of the court.

“Woot! Go AJ!” Pinkie cheered.

“Careful darling, you don’t want to throw out your back,” Rarity called while she was painting Fluttershy’s nails.

“I do admit Applejack could do it if she aims high but accurately,” Twilight said.

“Aiming is just as important as positioning,” Starlight said.

“Ugh… when can we go back to Equestria…?” Trixie asked boredly.

“You need to enjoy yourself, not many ponies can get the opportunity to visit the human world,” Starlight said and Sunset nodded in agreement.

“I know, but we’ve been here several days now, Trixie misses her magic,” Trixie said.

“Alright! Prepare ta regret yer arrogance Rainbow!” Applejack said before planting her feet and tensing her muscles and… jumping in surprise when someone hugged her from behind and squealed ‘Found you!’ she wound up misthrowing the ball and it flew into the stands and hit Rarity who spilled her nail polish, thankfully missing Fluttershy who yelped and jumped back.

“Applejack!” Rarity snapped at her friend.

“Wasn’t mah fault, someone grabbed me from behind,” Applejack said before noticing she was still being hugged.

“Very funny Pinkie,” Applejack sighed.

“I’m right here,” Pinkie reminded Applejack.

“But yer the only one who could sneak up on me so easily… so who-” Applejack easily pried the arms off of her and turned to see Twinkle.

“Twilight? No,” Applejack looked to see Twilight back on the stands.

“Princess Twilight?” Rainbow said confusedly as she approached.

“Yep! But also nope!” Twinkle said before bouncing over Applejack in one graceful flip and landed with a gesture.

“Huh?” Everyone exclaimed.

“Wait… you ain't Twilight, who are ya?” Applejack demanded.

“I’m Twinkle Pie Sparkle, nice to meet you, again!” Twinkle introduced herself.

“Uh… what?” Rainbow asked.

“That name sounds… familiar, like two names in one,” Starlight said as the group approached her.

“Hold it girls,” Pinkie said, approaching Twinkle who turned to face her.

“If anybody can figure out what’s happening it’s Pinkie,” Rainbow shrugged as the group stepped back to let the pink human examine her.

The two stepped to the sides, they mirrored each other’s movements, they tilted left and right, they tried an array of goofy faces with each other, they did thorough examinations of each other.

“What the heck are they doing?” Applejack asked.

“When it comes to Pinkie, your guess is as good as mine,” Rarity said.

The two then suddenly stood there and their hairs twitched a few times, they stared at eachother like they were having a staring contest and then… Pinkie turned around and walked back to the group.

“She’s a fusion of Pinkie Pie and Twilight from her world and she came here to clear the air with us all,” Pinkie said.

“....Whaaa?” Rainbow said.

“That sounds a little far fetched… even for us,” Twilight said.

“How did you know?” Fluttershy asked.

“We communicated through our Pinkie senses, or as she called it her Twinkle sense,” Pinkie shrugged.

“Twilight?” Sunset and Trixie and Starlight approached.

“Is that really you? You look different,” Trixie said.

“Yeah… it’s me, I was going to give you a message and then I decided to heck with it, and I decided to visit you girls to show you in person!” Twinkle said.

“Show us what?” Trixie asked.

“Like Pinkie said, I’m not Twilight anymore… I’m Twinkle Pie… and I am a merged version of Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle, and before you ask… no I can’t undo this… it’s kind of a long story,” Twinkle said with a blush.

“Magical fusion? I thought that was only theoretical,” Starlight thought.

“Twilight…I mean Twinkle, what do you mean you can’t undo this… your not saying-” Sunset said looking concerned before Twinkle brought out the pages she wrote.

“Here, read this, it’ll tell you everything you need to know,” Twinkle said.

“Ok,” Sunset said grabbing it and bringing it over to the group.

They read it as a group and their expressions turned from curiosity to shock to concern to confusion to sorrow.

“Wait! This thing is saying that you and your friends… the us that lives in your world were merged into three beings by a strange magic mirror-like device, right?” Rainbow asked concernedly.

“Yes?” Twinkle said.

“...What’s the odds of that happening here? I-I don’t mean to undermine your situation but I wanna stay me,” Rainbow said.

“Don’t worry the likelihood of that happening are a hundred to one, or sixty point seventy-three point three three three percent, I’ll need a checklist for that… oh well, who wants to party since we haven’t seen each other for a couple months?” Twinkle stated.

“Oh mememememe!” Pinkie cheered.

“Woot! Let’s get plannin then! We’ll need sasparilla, and balloons, and sugar-”

“And a clown and a cake and a full course menu, and also-”

“Pin the tail on the donkey!” The two-party hyped ponies hugged.

“....Ok… if there was doubt that she’s some kind of Twilight, Pinkie hybrid, it’s gone…” Starlight said a little perturbed by how in sync those two were.

“Twilight!” Sunset called and Twinkle noticed she was referring to her.

“Twinkle, remember?” Twinkle said, walking over to her.

“This paper also said that the process was irreversible, is that true? What if we try the elements, maybe they can-” Sunset said but Twinkle raised her hand.

“I’m sorry Sunny, but it won’t work, it’s just how I am now, but underneath all this Pinkieness, Twilight’s still there, and I’ll still support your friendship studies,” Twinkle said.

“...This is just too much to take right now… how do I even-”

The door to the gym slammed open and everyhuman turned to see who walked in.

---A half an hour earlier---

Zap Apple and Charity walked through the school, Spike leading the way, sniffing for Twinkle's scent.

Zap looks like she’s gotten the walking portion of it down and Charity isn’t having any trouble.

“Hurry Spike, ah ain’t comfortable in this place,” Zap said.

“I can only sniff so well Zap,” Spike said as he eventually bumped into the leg of a person.

“Huh?” Flash said looking down and seeing Spike.

“Oh, hey Spike, um… who are you two?” Flash said, confused by the two people he’s never seen before.

The pale yellow girl was cute but he wasn't looking for a new relationship right now. The other girl had an impressive bodybuilder physique, Flash sure didn’t want to make her mad.

“Uh… it’s complicated,” Charity said.

“Long an short of it is we’re from Equestria and we’re here to retrieve somepony who wandered here,” Zap said.

“You mean the other side of the mirror? Huh, I thought Twilight was going to keep that a secret from other ponies,” Flash thought outloud.

“Uh… yeah, Twilight, anywho did ya see a pony that looked vaguely like her come around here or somethin?” Zap asked.

“Vaguely like Twilight? Come to think of it there was a person who looked like she could be Twilight’s sister coming by, she bumped into me and I pointed her to the gym,” Flash said.

“Thank ya very kindly, we’ll go get her and be out of yer mane in no time,” Zap said.

“You mean hair?” Flash said.

“Uh… yeah, that,” Zap said as she walked on with Charity and Spike.

"Wait, um," Flash called getting the attention of the two girls.

"Need something else?" Zap asked

“Who was that person? Was she a friend or sister of Twilight’s?” Flash asked

“That’s kind of a complicated answer, wanna come with us? Charity asked.

“Charity,” Zap said firmly.

“I don’t see the harm in it, maybe he can give Twinkle some peace of mind, I do remember her telling Rarity that she had a colt she had some feelings for, this could help cheer her up after that incident with her brother,” Charity suggested.

“Fine, but ah don’t want another negative Shining Armor situation happening again, it’s not gonna be pretty,” Zap said.

“I understand,” Charity said before gesturing for Flash to accompany them.

They walked on until they reached the gymnasium with Spike’s directions.

---Right about now---

“Twinkle! We’re here ta get… you…” Zap trailed off when she saw the other people there.

Both groups stared awkwardly before Rainbow spoke up.

"Uh, who are they?" Rainbow asked.

“This’ll be awkward…” Spike said.

“Goody! You two got my invitations!” Twinkle exclaimed.

“Twinkle, ya need to come back, this ain’t the way to go about this,” Zap said trying to ignore the other humans.

“But I just got here…” Twinkle said sadly.

“We are sorry Twinkle,” Charity said before Flash walked around her and walked into the gym, Twinkle noticed him.

“Oh, uh… hey person I totally don’t know!” Twinkle said hoping he buys it.

“Hey, um, what’s going on here? This is a bit of a gathering, is there something going on?” Flash asked.

“I’m not sure if he should know,” Twilight said.

Sunset looked at her other friends and they gave supportive nods, Sunset then approached Flash and handed him the papers.

“It’s fair that you too should know what happened as well, Flash,” Sunset said.

“Uh guys! Let’s not, I don’t want him to be mad,” Twinkle said nervously.

“Mad about what?” Flash said reading the paper, Twinkle wanted to snatch that paper and rip it up, but something held her back… like a part of her wanted to see if he would react like Shining did.

His eyes widened and when he finished, he dropped the papers and turned to Twinkle.

“Your Twilight?” Flash said sounding surprised.

“...Yes…” Twinkle replied.

"And Pinkie… and it can't be fixed… I will admit, this is a surprise…" Flash said.

"I'm sorry…" Twinkle said expecting him to reject her.

He walked towards her and Zap looked like she was ready to intervene but Charity stopped her and shook her head letting Zap know this needed to happen.

Twinkle braced herself for a possible scolding…

Instead she felt a hand on her shoulder and she looked up in surprise.

"I will admit I didn't expect this, but I'm not going to blame you for what you can't control," Flash said with a sad smile.

"You… mean that?" Twinkle asked with tears in her eyes.

"Yeah," Flash said.

"Thank you!" Twinkle hugged him and began to cry.

Everyone watched with a smile at this, but Sunset looked skeptically at Flash.

"Well now, I guess that's that, I uh, have to go now, but hey if you need anything just give me a call," Flash said taking his immediate leave.

"Ok, thanks again Flash! You are totally invited to the party next time I have one!" Twinkle said.

"Hey guys I'll be right back," Sunset said as she hurried after Flash.

"Now that that is cleared up why don't we get you on home Twinkle," Zap said.

"Wait a minute, I still don't know who you two are," Rainbow Dash said remembering how out of the loop she is right now.

"Trust me ya don't want to know," Zap said.

"The message said that's Twilight and her friends were merged…Wait a minute you've got a rainbow hairstyle going on…You're me aren't you?!" Rainbow exclaimed.

Zap Apple sighed knowing the conversation was going to take this direction so she decided to get it over with.

"Fine yes let's just start from the beginnin" Zap Apple said.

Flash was walking down the halls looking sad but then he felt a hand on his shoulder which made him stop.

"Flash, stop," Sunset said.

"Can this wait?" He asked.

"No, look Flash I can tell what you're actually feeling, you don't actually accept her as a replacement for Princess Twilight, but you chose to spare her feelings," Sunset said.

"...Your right, I missed Princess Twilight but I accepted eventually that she couldn't come back to stay in this world and was happy that she was still out there somewhere, now I know she isn't out there anymore… how do I react to this?" Flash asked.

"I don't know but thank you for not rejecting her," Sunset said.

"Your welcome, I’m sorry, I need time to think about this," Flash said as he walked on.

Sunset sighed and returned to the gymnasium and saw the girls had all sat down and were talking with one another.

"Well on to the next chapter of life I suppose," Sunset said before joining them.

The group decided to spend the day together and play and chat around a little, after school was out. Though Zap wished to head home she decided to keep quiet so her friends could enjoy themselves.

The group had their fun and even went out to eat, understandably they chose a vegetarian place to eat at.

At the end of the day, the group arrived back at the portal.

“Are you sure you have to go? You could stay the night.” Pinkie asked.

“Sorry, but we got things ta do back in our own time and place,” Zap said.

“Yeah, we had fun though,” Starlight said.

“I just hope we can see each other again and have that party!” Pinkie said.

“You betcha best buddy!” Twinkle cheered.

“It was fun, really,” Charity said with a smile.

“Send me updates if you all do somehow find a way to turn back,” Sunset asked.

“Got it!” Twinkle said.

“Bye!” Everyone said to the Equestrians as they took their leave back through the portal.

The group stumbled through the portal.

“Whew! Glad to be home,” Spike said stretching out.

“Indeed, I missed my magic,” Trixie said.

“And ah missed mah wings,” Zap said taking to the air.

“It was fun today but I need to go check on my animal friends now, farewell,” Charity said.

“Okie! Have a good day every-” Twinkle was about to bid her friends goodbye but she heard a loud thump and spun to see a familiar pony standing in the kitchen.

“Cheese?” Twinkle said sounding surprised, Cheese smiled widely and leaped forward hugging Twinkle.

“I knew you were okay!” Cheese cheered.

“...What happened?” Trixie asked.

“That’s Cheese Sandwich a pony Pinkie knew, but what is he-” Charity began but Cheese beat her to the punch but not literally because hitting mares is bad.

“You guys are probably confused,” Cheese said turning to everypony present.

“That’s an understatement,” Starlight said.

“How did ya know-” Zap began to ask and Cheese finished for her.

“Cheesie sense,” Cheese said. “I don’t want to overwhelm the viewers so let’s continue this conversation in the next chapter,” Cheese said.

“Sounds like a plan,” Twinkle shrugged.

“Next chapter? What does he-” Trixie said before a timecard appeared in front of the viewer.

Your scheduled programming will resume soon.

Author's Note
