The six ponies stared at the two night princesses, even the white alicorn seemed unsure. I kept glaring at the princess that had appeared. Things had just gone from bad to worse, first the nightmare copy of Luna, now a fake Luna. After a brief moment of silence after my last words I asked the princess next to Celestia, “Who are you, and why are you here?” She stared at me like I was a crazy pony.
“I am Princess Luna, the one you are with is an imposter. If you intend to defend her we shall destroy you posthaste,” The newer Luna replied, staring daggers at me. I felt uneasy about what might happen if a fight broke out between the two navy-blue alicorns. I finally came up with an insane plan. “Ms. Sparkle,” I began, “I require that everypony heads towards the elements, no exceptions, that includes that pony right there.” I nodded over to The Doctor, and began walking over to him, looking at a couple of the guards that had surrounded the doctor and they moved aside. I nodded at him and said, “Well, let's go doctor.” He looked at me oddly, but started out after me. I looked back at every-pony else and sighed, “That every-pony includes you and your friends as well as the two, well three, princesses and one person that you can trust with you deepest and darkest secret. Know anyone like that?” They nodded and Twilight ran off, the others began following us.

In one of the many hallways we were walking through The Doctor whispered a question to me, “Do you have a plan? Because I don't.”
I nodded to The Doctor and whispered back, “Yeah,” I hesitated before the next part of my response, “for the most part.” He shot me an incredulous look, and quickly focused back on the problem at hand.

We reached the vault with the elements as Twilight with a white stallion with a guard uniform, who all of Twilight's friends greeted with respect. I merely nodded at him and turned back to the door. “Now then, any-pony have a key.” Celestia walked up to the door and opened it. While the process was happening I walked over to the stallion and asked, “So, who are you?”
“My name,” he began, “Is Shining Armor, captain of the royal guard and Twilight's brother, so don't try anything to her or her friends, as well as the princesses.” I nodded when he finished and turned to the now open door.
“Alright, now will the elements please grab their respective piece of jewelry and prepare to activate them.” Every-pony glanced at me like I was insane. I glimpsed each of their faces and they were clearly expecting me to continue. I sighed and did indeed continue, “I want to be blasted by the elements so that we can find out what happens when a soul of harmony is hit with it. Shining Armor, your here because if, in the off chance I go insane and try to attack them, I need you to stop me. If I altogether just disappear from existence, well, then the next step is relatively easy. Figure out which of the moon princesses is the real on, and get the fake out of here.” A smile appeared on my face as I finished, “See? Easy.” Every-pony's face fell when they saw me being so cheerful about what was apparently my certain doom. Some of the six refused to move over to the elements and Celestia even began closing the door. I stomped my hoof almost immediately as the doors began to close speaking sternly to Celestia, as if I was teaching a child a hard lesson in life, “You have a duty to the ponies of Equestria. The needs of the one will never outweigh the needs of the many. Allow me to chose my own way of my demise, or else I will have nothing to live for.” Some of the others probably gave me an angry glare, but I paid them no mind as Celestia gaze dropped to the ground. She re-opened the doors and the six, Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy giving me apologetic looks, Rainbow Dash and Applejack giving me a mixed look of anger and pity, and Pinkie Pie had a frown on her face that nearly made me lose my resolve. I shook my head and banished the traitorous feeling from my thoughts and stood in the middle of the room.

The door burst open the moment that the blast hit me and I felt strange, almost lightheaded. Looking at myself my cloak had dispersed(strange huh?) and in it's place where two dull red wings. I felt all the knowledge of flight and calculated in an instant how to get out of every-pony's sight in a fraction of a second(It helped that they were blinded by the effect of the elements). Right out side the door I just laid down and listened to some of the whimpers and cries of sadness. It hurt to hear them cry, but I heard what I had needed, a small chuckle. I could barely hear it over the other sounds, and another feeling had cropped up when I had focused, dread. It took a few seconds to pinpoint the source when I realized, I was sensing magic, and two objects in the room where giving off a similar pulse and frequency. “Alright, we have to do what he failed,” that would be Shining Armor, “Ace separate the princesses.” I stood up when I put two and two together. I stepped around the corner and I heard a collective gasp. Slowly I heard laughter from the Doctor. I flapped my wings, still getting used to the feeling. “That's new, need to get used to that,” I said oblivious to the shocked faces of every-pony else. Finally I glanced over at the shocked faces and addressed them, “Hello all of you. Didn't think you'd see me again did you? Well, that wasn't enough to kill me apparently, so after this frightening ordeal is over I'm going to try and do something much less nerve-racking, like jump off a cloud without opening my wings,” the wings disappeared and where replaced with my cloak, “Well, that was short lived.” Soon some of the others joined the Doctor in his laughing, more out of relief than anything. While the two Lunas looked worried. As the laughter died down one asked, “Can you tell them that she is the fake, so that we may get back to important business?” I shook my head and every-pony looked confused. I began to elaborate, “You saw when I had the wings? Yeah, that put me really in tune with magic in general and I made an important discovery. We have more than one fake on our hands. Two of you are fake. But, first let me pose a question Doctor, what does a changling feed off of? Cause if I remember the problem caused before. . .”
Twilight answered, “They take the place of a pony and feed off of the love that is shown to that pony. . . OH!” I nodded as she made the realization and her horn began to glow. I turned to Shining Armor saying, “Get ready to do your job. And I'll give you the order, but you must promise me that you will not do anything until I give you that signal. Do you understand?” He nodded and I heard Twilight's spell activate. Looking back at the group I saw Chrysalis lying one the ground groggy while Luna lie right on the other side of the carpet. I looked between both of them and began muttering, “If it wasn't her who else could it be?” I turned back to look at the seven creatures on the raised platform. They were all glaring at me while the Doctor looked at Luna with slight confusion. I shook my head and turned towards the door. I could feel every-pony's eyes on me as I began to walk towards the door. I called back to them, “Nobody move, except for John, you're coming with me.” With that I walked out the doors and turned the corner and leaned against the wall a good foot away from the door. I gave him about a good minute, turned back into the room and walked in. I stared at him and said to Twilight and Shining Armor, “Other fake, right in front of me. Blast him.” I turned back towards the door and as an addition turned to the golden pegasus that had gone into the room when I had hidden and said to him, “Come on Ace, we've got work to do.” He nodded and when we exited the room I heard The Doctor yelp in suprise as he was exposed for being a changeling and was repelled from Canterlot as the barrier expanded and surrounded Canterlot.

(So sue me. I LIKE DOCTOR WHO!)
