Huh, must be late. >You walk outside, relieved, but cautious. She could be anywhere. >Seeing no signs of Lemmon Whisper, you go on with your day. >As has been your routine for several weeks, you head over to Twilight's. >Eventually, she'd get it right, and you could be free.   >You are Twilight. >You didn't sleep last night, for fear that Anon had found you out and everything was ruined. >Eventually, you get up. >You shit. Spike would clean that later, and you already showered last week. >You eat some of Anon's hair that you had been saving. >You pick out what scenes you'll use for your illusion spells today. >You start thinking of what fetishes you haven't guessed yet, and add them to your list. >Tired from controlling your pawn every morning and not getting sleep last night, you decide to take a break and lay down your quill so you could nap. >Eventually, you would get it right, and you could be with Anon.   >You are Anon. >You have safely made it to Twilight's, so you head inside. >Twilight sleeps here, and there is a piece of paper with writing on the ground. >You almost wake her up, but curiosity gets the better of you, and you look at the paper. >If she read books on mind control, you figured it was just some notes. >What you find instead is a list of fetishes, and oddly enough it matches up with everything Butter Hush has tried on you. >It finally dawns on you. >Well, actually, Spike came in and explained things to you, apologizing. >Something about dragon code and betrayal and things getting out of hand. >You leave and head over to Banana Mumble's cottage...no, things were different now, so you head over to Fluttershy's cottage.     >You are Fluttershy. >Today was a glorious day. >You woke up, expelled waste in the forest, took a nice bath, fed the animals, and even got to eat breakfast and you hadn't blacked out. >You felt like today would be a great day, but still felt bad that you had let Mr. Bear break Anon's window. >You look out your own window and see Anon headed over to Twilight's. >You were just about to rush out side and wish him a good morning, but decided   against it because he might still be upset about the window. >You go to Mr. Bear and tell him to get everyone together. "Okay critters, we need to plan out renovations for Anon's house." >All the critters comment with their various ideas and you write down each one. >Later today, when Anon had finished at Twilight's, you'd ask him what he liked. It would be rude to change someone's house without asking first. >You smile to yourself and look out the window. >Anon is coming this way, and you get excited about telling him your plans. >Unfortunately, just as you hear him knocking, you black out again.   >You are Anon. >You have just arrived at Fluttershy's cottage and knocked on her door. >"I'm coming!" >You would explain what Grape Smart had been doing this whole time and figure out some way, if any, of protecting her. >You had always hated it when people took advantage of others. Hell, maybe you'd even go for revenge. >Fluttershy opens the door and welcomes you inside. >Suddenly, she closes and locks the door. "You okay Flutters?" >"Oh, now that you're here, I'm more than okay." "Huh?" >You turn around to face her, but you instead are knocked to the ground. "Fluttershy what are..." >Oh, right, mind control. >Before you know it, your arms and legs have been tied. >Flutter Puppet goes over to the other room and comes back with 3 cobs of corn, a metal pail, 2 rabbits, a chess set, and a watermelon. >Your mind races back through the list, and recall those that had been crossed out and those that hadn't. >All color leaves your being as you realize which one she must be trying. >"Okay Anon, let's see if this one's your fetish"   >You are Twilight Sparkle. >Your plans had a bump, but that's okay, everything's gonna work out fine. >Yes, just fine. And then you could be with Anon forever. >You're confident that this time this has to be his fetish. >Controlling your pawn requires most of your focus, so you can only get in one fetish per day, but it will work. >Yes... It'll be perfect. >Just then you hear a knock on the door, throwing of your concentration and causing you to lose focus.  >You sigh loudly in annoyance. >All that anypony is worth in this town is as one of your pawns. >You make your way to the door, and as soon as you open it, Rainbow Dash flys in. "Hey Rainbow Dash, what can I help you with?" >You put on your best fake smile. The more ponies that trust you the more you can exploit, and you weren't planning on losing any power. >"You got the next Daring Do book?" "Yeah, just let me find it." >You search for it quickly. You don't like leaving your pawns to their own control. >It takes the rest of the night to find it. >Anon's already back in his house, so you give up for today. >Tomorrow you would get it.   >You are Anon. >Eggplant Egghead stopped controlling Fluttershy halfway, and Fluttershy was so horrified she passed out. >Her animal friends helped you out of your binds. >Mr. Bear showed you modifications and you pointed to ones you liked. >You are back in your bed, asleep. >The dream starts like normal, but this time, just before Plum Bookworm used magic on you, Luna busts in and deflects it. >As you look at the mare of the night, the rest of the dream fades away. >"We sense a great disturbance within your dreams. Would you like to tell us what is going on?" "Twilight, she's... She's using mind control on Fluttershy to..." >"Mind control? Oh my..." "Oh my? What does that mean? Is there no way to stop it?" >"At this moment, no, but We can cast a protection spell on Fluttershy, for the time being..." "Yes, please. I'd rather avoid rude awakenings, if you know what I mean.." >With that Luna fades away, leaving you with peaceful dreams the rest of the night.   >The morning greets you gently today, and you go through your morning ritual quickly, ready to take on the day.  >No sign of Beet Brains. >Good. >You head on over to Fluttershy's. The sooner you can explain to her what's going on, the better. >As you approach the door, Fluttershy comes busting out the door, covered head to hoof in applesauce. "Are you okay, Flutters?" >Without any time for you to react, she picks you up and flys back inside. >She starts to head to the bathroom, and you're not sure you like where this is going. >The tub is full of applesauce. >She drops you into the tub, and you sink into the applesauce. "Grblegleble!" >"Oh Anon, I knew you would like it!" >Not fully used to swimming in applesauce, you flail around for a while, unable to see anything. >"Oh no, let's get these off, wouldn't want them stained..." >With that, Flutter Puppet starts to take off your clothes. Damned unreliable Princess... >Just then, to door is knocked down, and Luna walks in. >"Oh my... We hope we're not interrupting anything..." >You sit up, realizing the tub wasn't nearly as deep as you thought, and wipe the appleguts from your face. "About time you got here." >Flutter Puppet backs away and kneels before the princess. >Fig Nerd always did kiss up to authority. >Luna uses this moment to free Fluttershy from Prune Clever's control and casts a barricade spell, preventing any future takeovers.   >You are Fluttershy. >You have just woken up from another black out. >Fortunately, you're in your bathroom, which means you probably didn't go over to Anon's today. >Unfortunately, as you lift your head, you see Anon sitting before you in your tub. >Also unfortunate is that the tub is full of applesauce. What a waste. >Perhaps the most unfortunate thing you see is Luna. >Something serious must have happened. "O...oh my, w...what happened?" >"There is no need to fear. We have cast a spell to prevent any more takeovers." "H...huh?" >Anon explains that during your blackouts, you were being controlled by Twilight. >It's hard to believe, but Luna backs him up, so it's probably true. >Anon gets up out of the tub, dripping gobs of applesauce everywhere. >"Fluttershy, we'd like you to help us out." "M...me? What could I do?" >Luna walks over to Anon, and magics all the apple sauce back into the tub, and then faces you. >"We do not yet know Twilight's goals. It would be best for us all to stick together and get to the bottom of this." "O..oh, I see. O..okay then, I'll join you guys. >The three of you start to fly over to Twilight's. >Well, you and Luna do. Anon can't fly. "Sorry Anon, l..let me help." >You gently pick up Anon and lift back into the air. "If you get uncomfortable, j...just let me know, okay?" >"I will, thanks Flutters." >When you arrive at Twilight's, Luna opens the door and you gently set Anon down. >Searching through the library, none of you are able to find any sign of Twilight. >Luna calls all of you to the lobby area. >"It seems as if Twilight has left. We need to find her before it's too late..." >"Is she trying to take over or something?" >Luna's face distorts into one of true fear, which makes you feel all the more worried. >"If our suspicions are correct...that will be the least of our concerns..."
