>Okay brain, recap time. What just happened? >Well, it seems that Twilight's going to be teaching you magic. >Awesome. Okay, what else? >I think one of the crown princesses of Equestria likes you. >Is that awesome? >Fuck if I know. >"Sir Anonymous? Art thou feeling well?" >You blink, your little conversation with youself cut short, thankfully. "Ah... Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit... surprised, is all." >"Surprised? How so?" >You sigh, scratching the back of your head. "Well, I literally just met you today... Why the sudden interest in me? Well... Outside of me being a human, I mean." >Twilight stepped forward, an eyebrow quirked. Evidently, she wanted to hear Luna's explanation as well, if her expression was anything to go by. >"Well... It is hard for us to make friends with other ponies... Twilight and her friends notwithstanding... They either look upon us and see only our crown, or see us as the monster they grew up hearing stories of... Stories of the Mare in the Moon..." >You can tell that Celestia is getting uncomfortable at the mention of Nightmare Moon. It must have been hard on her as well, having to banish her sister to the moon all those years ago. Twilight's expression begins to soften as well. Luna looks at the three of you, and smiles as she continues. >"But Sir Anonymous... He didn't care about that. He saw us as Luna. He wanted to get to know LUNA. Not Princess Luna... Not Nightmare Moon... But just us... Just Luna." >Fuck, right in the feels. >Apparently, Twilight and Celestia were sharing your "pain", if their teary eyes were anything to go by. >"Princess... I didn't know... I'm so sorry..." >Luna shakes her head, still smiling.   >"You have nothing to apologize for, Twilight Sparkle. Admittedly, we are... somewhat jealous that Sir Anonymous gets to live with such a wonderful mare for a teacher... But If our isolation has taught us anything, it is that jealousy is an ugly thing... Perhaps thou would be willing to... share?" >You cough and sputter at Luna's admission that she is outright JEALOUS of Twilight. Fuck, she really does like you. Twilight was certainly surprised as well, considering she was blushing like crazy. >"Well..." she began, her cheeks still red. >Don't do it, Twi. >Don't say it. >"I dunno..." >Don't fucking do it. >"Okay, Princess." >FUCK. >Celestia seemed to share your sentiments, having chosen that time to start sipping a cup of tea... then spitting it out in an exaggerated fashion. Where she got the bowler hat and monocle, you didn't know, and quite frankly, you didn't care. >Luna, however was positively elated, hugging Twilight, and carrying on in a rather un-princesslike manner. >When she noticed the looks all three of you were giving her, she calmed down, and attempted to salvage what dignity she could. >Celestia looked to you and Twilight, the bowler hat and monocle having mysteriously disappeared from her person... Er, pony. >"Right then... Anonymous... Twilight... With the business of your 'Magic Tutor' taken care of, I'll arrange for a carriage to Ponyville. Hopefully, tt should arrive sometime in the late afternoon. Until then, why not take a proper tour of the castle? Perhaps my sister could serve as your guide?" >You had your reservations about the idea, but Twilight didn't object to the idea, so you agreed to let Luna take the two of you on a tour.     >You now regret the descision to let Luna take you on the aforementioned tour of the castle. >While it was informative and all, and Twilight being Twilight, ENJOYED learning, you, however had different feelings on the matter. >For one, if you had known just how fucking BIG this castle was, you probably wouldn't have agreed to take the tour. >Another thing; You really just wanted to get home, get some rest, and FINALLY go see this "Zecora", so you can check up on your big bear buddy, Baloo. >Of course, you'd still have to explain to Rarity why your clothes were short one sleeve, and you would never know true comfort again after sleeping in those comfy-as-fuck sheets and bedding, but the library felt like a second home. You were sure Spike missed both you and Twilight, anyway. >You're snapped out of your train of thought as your left arm begins to tingle again. You glance around, wondering just what caused it, when you realize you were separated from Twilight and Luna. "Okay, don't panic, Anon. It could be nothing. You just got lost, and your arm's tingled before... it's probably nothing." >A pair of screams, however, proved you otherwise. >You run down the hall until you enter the royal gardens, where you find Twilight standing in front of an unconscious Luna, her horn aglow. Opposite her were... those two guards from before? No... They seemed different... Their eyes were green, for one thing, and something just felt... WRONG about them. >The two guards lunge at Twilight, who knocks them backwards with some kind of magical bubble. This didn't seem to deter them, however, as they jumped on top of the bubble, hammering at it with their hooves and horns.   >It's not long before the bubble shatters, and the two "guards" step closer to Twilight, who collapses to what you think is her knees. >You're frozen to the spot. You don't understand why, but you were freaking the FUCK out. >Where were the REAL fucking guards when you needed them? >Twilight struggles to her feet, inching back as the two not-guards continue to approach her. She starts crying, and she speaks. It was soft, almost inaudible, but you heard it, clear as day. >"Somepony help me..." >That did it. You weren't going to stand around while someone you cared about was about to get hurt, or worse! Getting a running start, you jump as far as you can, both legs sailing through the air, straight as an arrow as they make contact with the closest "guard", sending him careening into the other one, causing them to knock over a rather old planter, causing dust and dirt to go everywhere. When the smoke clears, in their place are two black, fanged, insect-like ponies, their eyes a solid, almost neon green. >Twilight's eyes widen as she looks at them, a single word escaping her lips. >"Changelings..." "Changelings? That's what those things are?" >Twilight nods, clearly relieved that you were here. >"They're pony-like creatures that feed off of a pony's feelings of love. They turn into their significant other, basking in the love they're given... absorbing it... Gaining strength from it... Until there's nothing left but a husk..." "Nasty." >"That's not even half of it... where there's one, thousands more could be lying in wait... and at the top of their hierarchy is their Changeling Queen, Chrysalis. She's one nasty mare." "You've met her before?" >"Oh yeah."   >"She once tried to take over Equestria during my brother's wedding to Princess Cadence." "Wait, what? You have a BROTHER? THERE'S ANOTHER PRINCESS?!" >"I'll tell you about it later! Look out!" >You whirl around to find the two changelings charging at you their chitinous horns poised to gore you in the stomach. >Not today, Motherfuckers. >You hold your left arm in front of you, the tingling intensifying until it takes on a sensation similar to that of sticking your tongue onto a D Battery. You watch as what looks like electricity arcs around your arm, and you smile. >Okay, what are you doing? >Just watch. >No seriously, what are you doing? >You smile as you bring your arms to your side, cupping your hands as your smile widens into a maniacal grin. "Kaa..." >The changelings hiss, picking up the pace. "Me..." >Twilight's eyes widen as a blue-white orb of magical energy gathers in your hands. "Haa... Mee..." >Luna awakens, seeing the air around you crackle with magical energy. "HAAAAAAAH!!" >You thrust both of your arms forward, unleashing pure. magical. energy. in the most spectacular way you could think of, watching as the changelings slam into it head on, being carried into the air by the beam's sheer force, until they're both disintegrated miles above Canterlot's skyline. >Both Luna and Twilight blink, not entirely sure if what they saw was real. Finally, after a brief silence, Twilight speaks. >"Anon... What the HAY was that?!" "That, Twilight, is what we call a 'Kamehameha Wave', back home."
