Sunbeam ran around the town, growling to herself as she watched the Parasprites fly through the sky outside Ponyville. “Bucking perfect, I go down to the mirror pool and create a doppelganger of myself so I can send the day with my wife but Noooo, now we get invaded by a band of Parasprites, how the hay did these things even make it out of the Everfree forest!?”

“I don’t know princess but I am trying to stop them.”

Sunbeam screamed, tripping over her own hooves as she turned to look at the pony next to her. “Pinkie Pie, don’t you scare me like…wait, how the hay did you know it was me?”

Pinkie Pie giggled, “Your cutie mark silly, not many ponies have the sun as their cutie mark.”

Sunbeam wanted to say something, but then she suddenly got struck with an idea. “Pinkie, how much do you know about Parasprites?”

“Not much, all I know is that you need to use an instrument of some sort to get them back into the Everfree.”

Sunbeam nodded, “true, but you can’t only use one, you need to use a combination of many instruments at once, that is the only way to get them to follow you back.”

Pinkies eyes widened, and then she saluted. “Don’t worry princess, I will make sure you get your day with Twilight, you can count on me!”

The pink mare ran off, leaving Sunbeam looking sort of concerned, but she quickly brushed it off. “It’s Pinkie Pie, now I need to get in contact with my doppelganger.”

She closed her eyes, letting her magic reach out and tap into the mind of her other, letting it know she was their before speaking, “we have a problem.”

“You are telling me,” said her double, “we have a Parasprite invasion happening in Fillydelphia and we got sightings in other places, it looks like I will have to cut my visit to Ponyville short.”

“Well we also have a situation involving the same pests here in Ponyville, but the last thing we need is a panic, so when you arrive to tell Twilight you have to cut the trip short, just play it cool, don’t give her any reason to go into full blown panic mode you got it?”

“Gotcha Sunny, so when should I expect you back at the palace?”

“Tomorrow morning, I have a feeling I will need to provide my Twilight some stress relief after today, see you then.”

She then cut off the connection, and then ran back toward Ponyville, till a voice sounded in her head, causing her to stop.

“You know there is another way you can get rid of those vermin,” said the voice of Solaris, dangerously clear as Sunbeam felt her power begin to thrum inside her. “You can easily wipe them away, burn them all, and not even harm your little ponies, so why don’t you let me out?”

“No,” said Sunbeam aloud, using her magic to bind herself to the ground, for she felt her hold on her beast beginning to slip.

“Twilight…please hurry!”

Twilight ran along the road toward the Everfree forest, having felt a pang in her heart earlier that she knew was connected to Celestia. She had been confused at first, for Celestia had been standing in front of her when it had happened, but after a moment she remembered something Celestia told her, and had done a quick magical scan. The scan had confirmed to her that the Celestia before her had been a doppelganger, and the moment she had realized that she had waited patiently till she had departed, then sprinted off in the direction she had felt the pang.

She finally crested the hill and froze, for the site before her was not one she had been expecting. Sunbeam was chained to the ground, surrounded by a swirling sphere of solar fire as flaming tears fell from her eyes. “TIA!” she cried, running up but then stopping as the heat got to her.

“T…Twilight…help me, she…she is trying to…”

Twilight’s eyes widened in shock, for Sunbeam’s voice sounded ragged inside her mind, like she was struggling tooth and nail to even communicate to her. “What do you mean Tia, who is trying to do what?”

“Stand aside Twilight Sparkle,” said a voice behind her, causing her to turn and gasp, for Princess Luna was standing behind her.

But she was more then she had been, her body was now night black, filled with stars that sparkled with every color under the sun. Her mane and tail had also changed as well, galaxies shimmering in them as they billowed around her in an ethereal wind. “We shall calm down our sister, but thou must stand back, this will be quite dangerous for one such as thee.”

She then moved forward, walking through the flames as though they were not there, touching her horn to Sunbeam’s and causing her to scream, Twilight cringing but holding still, knowing to go to her would mean certain death.

After what seemed like ours the flames finally died, the chains vanishing from Sunbeam’s legs as she fell, Luna catching her with a starry wing before looking at Twilight. “Come take her, I am afraid I cannot stay.”

Twilight ran forward, using her magic to grab ahold of Sunbeam and pull her close, looking up at Luna as she turned to go. “P…princess, wha…what was that just now, and why the hay do you look like that?”

Luna raised an eyebrow, but then sat down, sighing before turning back to Twilight. “The second question we shall answer first, for it will help explain what happened here today. What we have become is the true representation of our power; this is us at our fullest potential, without all our power restrictions which keep us looking like the pony you have seen. As to what was happening with our sister, her power was attempting to surface against her will, so we had to calm her.”

Twilight stared up at her, her mouth hanging open due to what she had just heard. She had always known alicorns were powerful, but to find out that there was more to that power, that there was something more beneath the surface was absolutely mind boggling.

“Thou should take her to your home, when she wakes she will need the comfort of those that are close to her, and we have to return to Canterlot to help her double with other matters. Keep this between us, and don’t worry, we shall see thou again soon.”

With that she vanished in a blinding flash of light, leaving Twilight alone as she to teleported back home.

Sunbeam woke up slowly, feeling hooves wrapped around her as she looked up, Twilight’s worried face meeting her own as Twilight spoke. “Oh Tia, I’m so glad you’re alright, you scared me half to death.”

Sunbeam nuzzled up close to her Twilight, pressing her face into her chest as she spoke. “I’m sorry my Twilight, you should never have had to…”

“Stop it,” said Twilight, her grip tightening as she continued. “You don’t need to say anything; Luna has already told me everything.”

Sunbeams eyes widened, but she didn’t look up for fear of frightening Twilight further. “She…she told you?”

Twilight nodded, “Yes she did, she said your true power tried to surface, that it was beyond your control. But is ok now, you are safe.”

Sunbeam slowly lifted her head, nuzzling up against her neck as she spoke. “Please…make love to me, I…I need to feel you inside me, if only for a little while.”

“You need but ask my love,” said Twilight, who pulled her into a kiss and then rolled her onto her stomach, her horn already growing the necessary appendage before she inserted it, causing Sunbeam to moan as she slowly began to pump in and out of her.

“Oh Twilight,” said Sunbeam, her hips meeting Twilight’s thrusts half way as they picked up the pace, Twilight moving so that their horns could touch, causing their pace to quicken even further as their climaxes built.

Finally after a few more quick thrusts they both climaxed, Sunbeam screaming out in pleasure as she felt Twilight fill her. They laid there for a long moment, Twilight holding Sunbeam tight in her protective embrace, and then Sunbeam finally moved, kissing Twilight before extracting herself from her lover.

“You have to go?” asked Twilight, looking at her as she transformed back into her true self.

“Yes, it is about time I send my double back to where she came from, after all my sister still needs my help when it comes to more important matters.”

Celestia turned to go, only to have Twilight stop her with an outstretched hoof. “You will tell me how you do that right, the whole double thing?”

Celestia nodded, “I will I promise,” she said, “You will love all the little spells that go into it.”

She then teleported, leaving Twilight sitting their looking excited, till she noticed that her member had hardened due to her excitement over gaining new knowledge. “Oh come on,” she said, then after looking around, shrugged her shoulders. “Oh well, it’s not like it’s going to suck itself,” and with that she bent down and began tending to herself with abandon.

Luna sat patiently in in the throne as Celestia walked up, having noticed her sisters double vanish moments before, signaling that her sister was due to return. “We assume thou are done with your mate for now,” she asked, a smug smile on her lips.

“Yes I am, and stop looking at me like that, you don’t need to rub it in you know.”

Luna giggled, “we are just happy thou finally found a mate with which thou could do such things with, we were afraid thou were going to stay a virgin forever.”

“Well I wasn’t, but that is not what I wish to talk about. You lied to Twilight about what happened today, and I want to know why.”

Luna gave her a look, “what good would telling her truth do, aside from the fact that it would have frightened her.”

“She needs to know,” said Celestia, “she needs to know about what I have locked away inside me, and she needs to be ready in case Solaris breaks free to claim her.”

“And thou really think she should be readying herself for that, and distracting herself from her studies on the magic of friendship, which we know is the only magic that can fuel the Elements. She needs to focus on staying with those mares, and thou telling her the truth about Solaris would damage all she has accomplished thus far.”

Celestia wanted to protest, but after a moment of pondering her words, Celestia finally sighed. “You are right sister…how could I have been so foalish.”

“We all have moments in which we are foalish sister; we know this better than most, seeing as how the nightmare was caused by such foalishness.”

Celestia nodded, “I know sister, I know.” She then sighed, hugging Luna before turning to leave, “I shall retire for the night, if you need anything, just come wake me.”

Luna nodded, and then went back to the throne, sitting down and then summoning the ponies of the night court.
