"..Okay." Twilight stared at the spot where the princess once resided then looked at the baby dragon which looked back at her. There was no way that thing could harbor thoughts yet. "Okay. I've done harder stuff before, there's no way this will be harder than cutting through infinity."

Spike walked towards Twilight, tripped and fell, got up then hugged Twilight's foreleg and no matter how she tried to shake him off he didn't budge. Twilight resisted the urge to buck him away and scream focusing instead on the door, to which she trotted to nearly tripping herself but managed to reach the door just fine after a bit of adaptation and hit her head against the door strong enough for anypony inside to hear.

Yet, nopony answered. For the second time this hour, she groaned and fell to her haunches, the dragon finally had enough and let go. Twilight reached out and gently patted the dragon, "You better become a good stove in the future." The dragon giggled at her touch, then decided to hug her barrel. "..You better become the best stove in the future." Twilight said.

As the sun fell and the outside became chillier, Twilight kept sitting on the door with a dragon hugging her for the past half hour. The purple unicorn looked at the few ponies on the sidewalk then back at the dragon, a sigh escaped her mouth as she opened both hooves and hugged the dragon back tightly. At that exact moment, the door knob glowed with a blue hue and Twilight hearth fell.

The door opened and the sudden Shining Armor came to an abrupt stop at the scene, then had to put extra effort to not laugh at his sister's expression of pure despair. "Twi- pff- why are you hugging that lizard?"

Twilight took a deep breath and suppressed the temptation of hitting her brother square in the nose. "It's a dragon and Celestia asked ME to take care of him." The shining eyes widened and then he bursted out into a mad cackle at realisation.

"Y-you're a mother Twi!" Shining shouted between his misfit of mirth. Mirth that Twilight couldn't even begin to grasp why it was funny. "You're g-going to need to breastfeed him!" Twilight's horn shined and in a moment Shining's mouth closed shut, the smaller unicorn got up with the dragon still hugging her barrel and walked up to her brother up till their muzzles were inches from each other.

Twilight's eyes stared deep within Shining's pupils, they began to shrink and every single strand of fur on his spike up, sweat built up on his forehead and ran down his face like a bunch of innocent scared kitties. "Move." Twilight's voice was low, warm even. It made Shining take several backward. "Where is mom?"

"O-out for shopping with dad!" Shining eyes didn't leave Twilight until she began to go to the living room, at that point Shining slowly trotted to the door and gently closed it.

Twilight sat on the couch and tried to push the dragon off her barrel only for her to accidentally hit the dragon in the eye. A short moment of silence occurred Spike's lungs drew a humongous amount of breath and Twilight's face contorted to one of pure terror.

For a moment she wished Mahoraga could be there.

"We really need those hiking boots for our next vacation!" Velvet said while snuggling close to Night Light who honestly had all its focus on not falling with the multiple groceries held by his magic, "It will be so much fun!"

"Sure thing, honey." Night said automatically as his hoof reached for the knob and on the inside Twilight laid near the stairs with a dragon on top of her.

Twilight raised her hoof reaching towards her parents, "Please help!" Twilight said while the Spike happily fist bumped her raised hoof, oblivious to Twilight's suffering - Twilight couldn't help but realize that perhaps, this was how they felt back at Shinjuku.

"Ehm. Sun, my little flower, why is there a giant lizard on your back?" Velvet said.

"Mom, this is the dragon I hatched," Twilight said, further stretching her hoof to which Velvet finally deciding to do something about it magicked the dragon out of Twilight back to hers.

"Oh? It's such a cute little thing," Velvet offered a smile while looking at the lizard on her back, Spike promptly hugged her muzzle.

Twilight, finally relieved of such a burden gets up, wipes off the dust, and proceeds to explain her whole situation, "It is my task, assigned by Celestia, to take care of this Spike." Twilight puffed her chest, but another feeling arose from that same pride. Spite. Spite that she had been reduced to this.

Velvet gently pulled the dragon away from her snout, "Nighty, we might need some diapers." Velvet's smile nearly dissolved Night Light's incoming groan, he turned around and trotted to the convenience store once again.

"Ah~ this brings so many memories. Let me teach you how to take care of a child then..."

A week passed by, a week Twilight had to deal with those insufferable lessons that taught her nothing more than she'd already known - Twilight was in a school for magic and the only thing she learned till now was geometry! Twilight had read, learned, and even mastered all of the teachers taught, she could do it purely with her head, it'd be a waste of ink and energy to use a quill to write those inane lessons down. This poor horse country story, their philosophy, sociology, geography, everything! She was years ahead of whatever lesson plan was going through the equine neurons of her 'teach.'

Worse than the lessons are the subpar classmates who don't know anything about the subject Twilight mastered a year ago, their constant need to ask for her help, for she, a student just like them, to explain! Inane! Obsolete even, they should've known that by now! "Maybe it's because of them that I can't do magic yet." The only good things that the school has to offer are the library and the laboratories, but only one of those is within Twilight's reach!

Twilight stared at the swirling liquid of the small cauldron she had put on top of the stove, she promptly levitated a carrot and threw it inside, a bit of the crimson liquid splashing on her face but she was just too angry to care. The swirling liquids changed gradually from crimson to a light blue, this was the improved version of Weaver's potion, her improved version. The old stallion couldn't even fathom that substituting tree amber with diamond powder would intensify the effect to the point Twilight would need to throw in some greens to make it usable.

That was true magic in the making, not whatever her teacher insisted on passing them. Twilight had even begun to master some endothurgy spells to be able to think faster, read faster, experiment faster. Sure, the hunger this potion would cause was akin to being two to three weeks without eating, but the effects would be worth it, ten times better.

"Now- what's worse than dealing with classmates? Having to take care of a freaking baby!" Twilight put a big spoon on the cauldron and began stirring, the carrot slowly began to dissolve with the help of the runes she engraved inside. "Because of course! Taking care of a baby is better than learning magic in a school. For. Magic!" Twilight threw the spoon over to the sink and glared at the liquid inside the cauldron, "Only worse than that is having to deal with that pink little s- pegasi! If I wasn't so keen on not following a failed path I would've-"

"Twi?" Shining peeked from the corner of the kitchen and his spirit nearly left as Twilight stared back at him with a face covered in a crimson liquid. "Twi!"

But Shining's sister just wiped it off with one. "What?"

"I'm just wondering, uhm. W-would you want to play tag with me?" Shining words fell short as Twilight's eyes kept staring at him, her eyes seemed empty. "I-it's that the colts are, uhm, busy today and... Yeah." Shining began pawing the floor.

For a moment, Twilight's self was an inferno of boiling anger- but the eyes of his brother had that same potential, that same indomitable will if only different in desire. He was somepony that was threading a path that wasn't a rollercoaster like she once did.

Twilight stared back at her cauldron, the potion was done she just needed to put it in the fridge so it wouldn't spoil. She was planning on doing some more experiments later but... If Twilight is to thread a new path she has to learn how to be ingenue. The purple unicorn took a deep breath and for the first time in a while, she looked at her brother like an equal.

Author's Note

This one was a pain to make. I honestly see Sukuna as a connoisseur of art, where the art is cursed techniques but since he hadn't seen any actual magic until he awakened besides levitation and teleportation so far I never really got to bring that out.

When I first started this I searched what Sukuna's personality was like because in both manga and anime I didn't pick anything more than sadistic villain, which most sounded like traits more than an actual personality, so I figured to just make Twilight arrogant and selfish then mix in a bit of what I thought Sukuna would act like if he was suddenly isekaied to a horse world after his defeat bringing this fic to life. But I couldn't just do that because then he'd be apathetic with his parents and sibling, therefore the solution I made was just to awaken his memories at 4 years old, that was enough time for a bond to form after all.

I'm honestly quite surprised this got as many views as it did, but I guess that's reasonable, Jujutsu kaisen is on hype for now.

Anyway, to wrap this up, do you like this Sukuna/Twilight interpretation? Think it could be better? Be not afraid to tell.

Also do tell if you think this chapter can be better; the 'how' too, please.
