Twilight Sparkle sat in the middle of her library, silently making calculations in her mind. Somewhere upstairs, her assistant was sound asleep in his bed, since it was his day off. This made Twilight slightly sad since she wouldn’t have the extra help today, but she couldn’t help but feel that he’d earned a rest after all that he’d done for her the past few days. She’d just have to do what she was about to do on her own today.

She made some scratch marks on the floor with her hoof, drawing out arcane symbols and equations that noone other than her or another particularly gifted unicorn would even be able to comprehend thinking about. A small smile graced her face as she looked at her completed calculations, a sense of pride drifting over her face. She was about to attempt blind teleportation, based solely on visualization of the target area alone.

“I did it!” She blushed, looking up the stairs to see if she’d woken up her little assistant. She heard no sound, so she assumed that everything was still okay and that he was still asleep. She stood up and took a deep breath. “Alright, just need a few moments to prepare.”

She closed her eyes and breathed in deeply, counting to three. Her horn started to glow a light purple as she felt herself drawing in magic for the spell, getting ready to teleport. It’d be a short distance at first. Just a few feet in front of her… In an instant, she released the spell and felt a weightlessness take her over for a few seconds before she stumbled a bit.

When she opened her eyes, she was exactly where she’d hoped she would be. A proud smile graced her face as she stretched her legs, marveling at the newfound freedom she felt. It was such a short distance, but she’d finally done it! She didn’t even feel tired from the magical exertion that she’d performed. Instead she felt elated. She wanted to try again.

Somewhere upstairs, a little dragon was stirring. After a few rubs of his eyes and a small bout of coughing, he began to make his way downstairs. There was Twilight, eyes closed, trotting around happily in circles. He could see that her horn was lighting up for a spell and he giggled. He wondered what sort of crazy thing his adopted mother was trying this time. His curiosity was cut short not two seconds later. He suddenly felt short of breath. He suddenly felt heavier…

Spike looked down, only to see the face of Twilight Sparkle sticking out of his body, open in a silent scream as her lungs struggled to find purchase inside his body. Spike tried to breath and figure out a logically way out of the situation, only to immediately fall unconscious and fall on the floor, covering Twilight’s face as she slowly suffocated under him.

And just like that, Twilight Sparkle became the first unicorn to die of fusion during teleportation.
