I awoke to the mother of all headaches, and staring Ribbon in the eyes, she looked rather startled. "What, is there something on my face? Oh god, its a spider, isn't it... GETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETI- Ow!" In my panicked flailing, I had whacked myself in the face.

"I-it's not a spider. Your eyes are red!" Wait, what? Bolting upright, I get out of the bed and slowly walk towards tuo bathroom, before looking in the mirror, and lo and behold, they were indeed red. Freaky...

*Grumble* ohhhhhhhh... shiiiiiiiiit... got up to fast... SHE'S GONNA BLOW!!! I immediately bolt to the toilet.

"HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURGE! Oh go- HUUUUUUUUUURGE! Whyyyy- HUUUUUUUUUUUURGE!" After my stomach had finished with its explosive expulsions, I turned and saw Ribbon standing in the doorway.

"Maybe you should stay in and rest. I'm going to check with Twilight about your eyes." Please do.

I groan, still in pain. "you go do that." I dry heave.

Ribbon grabs a rubber band from somewhere, and uses it to put my mane into a ponytail (puns, it burrrrns) to keep it out out of my face. "If you need anything ask one of the guards."

I nod, before shambling back to the bed, and collapsing on it. I curled up into ball even wrapping my wings around myself, before falling asleep.

"Chi. Chi wake up. I need to do a few tests, OK?" A faint whisper woke me from my slumber.

"Snargesblarfuful... Just five more minutes mom..." I want my sleep dammit.

"Chi, I need to check you magic, to see if its corrupted at all." Someone started nudging me.

"Alright, alright. I'm up, happy mo- oh... Hey Twi..." my eyes flicker open to the sight of Twilight giving me a WTF look, before getting back on track.

"Your eyes are red," She scribbles something down on a notepad. "I need you to sit up please."

"Allright..." I get up slowly, not wanting to start vomiting again. "What's the diagnosis, doc?"

I feel a cold helmet get plopped on my head, with dozens of wires leading to some strange machine. "I'll know in a second."

"Are you sure you're not a mad scientist?" I swear, if she shouts 'I have no idea'...

I was completely ignored. "No, thats not right." She keeps glancing back and forth between me and the data. "Mmmm..." suddenly, everything is purple, even the purple is purpler. The glow fades, and Twilight is staring at me like I'm some kind of freak. "I-i-imposs-s-sable!! H-h-how can you n-n-aturally p-p-prouduce d-dark m-magic!?"

"Maybe because I 'inherited' the Nightmares magic and body? It was the manifestation of Lunas 'dark' side after all." It made a twisted sort of sense, if you thought about it.

"Ok, ok. I have to tell, Princess Celestia about this. SPIKE!!!"

"I'm right here, you didn't need to yell." He steps out from behind the machine, before writing something down, and igniting it.

"On a scale of one to ten, how much of a shitstorm do you think this will cause?" I would like to be prepared for the worst.

Twilight prepares to answer , only for Ribbon to walk in. "I'm guessing by the expression it's not good?"

I pull the helmet off. "Apparently I can produce dark magic naturally."

"So, not good then. I'm guessing more training will be involved?" Twilight nods.

Something hits me. "Wait, does that mean every time I've used my miasma, I've been using dark magic?"

Twilight nods. "Yes, so you should probable stop using it."

Ribbon face hoofs and quietly mutters. "I doubt she will."

"Correction, I should stop using the bastardized version I used to make crystals, wich was normal magic fueled with rage, as I've never shown any signs of corruption from using my miasma." Logic!

Twilight scribbles more down. "That's not the problem. If you keep using dark magic like that, your normal magic will become corrupted, right now the two balance each other, but that'll change if you over do it."

"I have to ask, what would happen if I used normal and dark magic at the same time?"

Twilight gave me worried look. "Nothing good, you could expose your pure magic to the dark magic and corrupt it instantly... or it could do nothing at all."

Ribbon seemed to space out for a moment, but I knew better, and could tell she was communicating with the Hive Mind. "A chairet just showed up, I'll have the Princess escorted here by one of the drones."

"Remember to tell the Hive Guardian their safe, we don't need the princesses reenacting the incident with Impulse and Dovah."

"He's fine" Twilight looks at Ribbon expectantly "No, you can't see him, yes I'll tell you later, and ask Impulse if you want to know what he did."

This its perfect. "To quote Larry, 'stupid commenced.'" The look on Twilight face. Priceless.

"Why do we have to work with the crazys".

I smirk, and prepare a witty response, only for Celestia to walk in. "I came as fast as I could when I got the message." Of course you did... Molly. She saw me looking at her, and gasped upon seeing my changed eyes. "Oh my, I can see why you sent for me."

Twilight gave Celestia a worried look. "Princess, she's naturally generating dark magic..."

Celestia glares at me. "Oh? And why would that be? How many times have you been doing this Chitsuki?"

I glare back. "That depends, do you mean the bastardized version, which is actually normal magic fueled by my rage, or do mean the true version, that i realized I've been doing ever since I woke up in this body?"

Celestia blinks. "Either one is cause concern."

Twilight begins pacing. "Princess, she has two wells of magic, one is corrupted, but the other is not. What should we do?"

Celestia stops to contemplate this for a minute, before Ribbon has an idea. "Teach her..." Everyone stops and stares. "Teach her to use her normal magic and her dark magic separately. Twilight said that her two powers were balancing each other, so if she learns to use the dark magic and her magic separately, shouldn't she be ok?" Ribbon, I think you just out-logic'd a politician... I'm so proud...

"If we're done discussing this, I'm going back to sleep." I curled back up into a ball, and dozing off.

A couple of days later, Celestia returned, and after make her why to me and Ribbons room, began showing slight signs of excitement.

"So this is what you're going to learn, you're going to learn how to use your two magical wells independently of each other." Celestia was pacing in front of me like a drill sergeant, which actually creeped me out.

"So you're basically saying that if I filter out my normal magic from my umm, shadow, magic, I can avoid cross contamination, right?" Celestia nods, albit with a confused look on her face.

"It sounds simple in theory, but it is actually much harder... And 'shadow' magic?"

"Have you noticed how when I use my miasma, the area around me gets colder? That doesn't happen with dark magic, and building on that, when you first had me try to find my magic, and I found four different sources? Twilight said I was producing dark magic, but shes incorrect, as my miasma actually comes from that fourth source, meaning I couldn't be producing dark magic, I'm actually producing shadow magic, which I'm beginning to believe is essentially dark magic without the corruptive side effects, you with me so far?" Frankly, I was surprised that she kept a straight face through that. After a couple moments of silence, she blinked.

"You've put some some thought into this, haven't you?"

I give her a 'no shit' look. "I've spent the last few days either sleeping, or staring at the ceiling. Yes I've put a lot thought into this."

"Oh." Celestia pauses, seemly trying to formulate a response. "So, if you used your 'shadow' magic in place of dark magic, would it effect the spell in any noticeable way?" She was looking at me expectantly, and had levitated a notepad out from somewhere.

I snickered. "I see where Twilight got her study habits from." Celestia nods, proving my suspicion. "I'm guessing you want a demonstration?" Another nod. "Just give me a second..." reaching inside of my self, I tried to channel magic, but instead of drawing from my unicorn magic, I tried to draw from my shadow magic.

"Interesting..." opening my eyes, I noticed my horn glowing a deep scarlet, instead of the supernatural greenish blue it normally did, as well as feeling rather cold. Focusing on a spot on the floor, and willing it, I caused a hoof sized lump of crimson colored crystals to emerge, before the headache returned, and I cut power.

"Ow, shouldn't have done that, the headaches back." Celestia nods in understanding.

"Ew, ew, ew, ew. Nope, all the nope, I did not just see that..." Twilight had apparently just seen something gross.

"Isn't nature fascinating?" And Fluttershy was completely unfazed. Wow.

-Ribbon, why is Twilight freaking out?-

'I told her something gross hoping she'd leave me alone for a bit.'

-How gross? And why is Fluttershy not disturbed in the slightest by it?-

'Remember when I layed an egg? Yeah, we don't reporduce asexualy, so I showed her the hatchery, and Fluttershy tagged along.' I do NOT want to know.

Watching as the duo walked away, I saw the confused look on Celestias face. "Are you alright Chitsuki? You spaced out for a moment." Oh crap...

I shudder. "It times like this I hate having an overactive imagination, I just HAD to picture what grossed her out... and trust me, you don't wanna know what I thought of..."

She nods. "If that's all, I will be taking my leave." After she walks out, I notice pink in the corner of my eye.

"Hey Pinkie, what brings you here?" When I blink, shes gone, and a box of cupcakes are in her place... THAT was creepy, normally she won't shut up. Opening the box, I saw about a dozen assorted flavors.

"Pardon me darling, am I interrupting something?" Oh, Rarity actually came?

"I don't think its possible to interrupt Pinkie happening."

"True."

"I'm guessing you only came here because everyone else did?" She blinked, surprised.

"Was I really that obvious?" Yes Rarity, you were about as subtle as a neon sign.

"Yes, yes you were. Now could you please tell me why you've been avoiding changelings at every opportunity, and Ribbon in particular?"

-Ribbon, I've got Rarity in here, and I'm trying to talk her though why she's been avoiding you and changelings in general, think you could get Scoots to come here syo we can explain how we met, and got her over her fear of you?-

"Ribbon had been looking after Sweetie Belle, without me knowing she was a changeling! What if she's been feeding off he-"

"Stop right there, Ponyville is so full of love that she didn't need to feed of anyone, and I was perfectly fine with her feeding off of me anyway. I will not let you go and badmouth Ribbon. Do I make myself clear?" She nodded, silenced by the look I was giving her.

'Sure, though I doubt she'll come here but I have been wanting to go back to Ponyville again. I've been avoiding my house since the... mail monster incident.'

-What happened this time?-

'Assassination attempt or prank gone bad, I'm not sure, but apparently all of Equestria knows that, Tattered Ribbon, Ponyville's primary blacksmith is now The changeling Queen.'

"B-b-bu-"

"Look, if you're going to let your prejudices get in the way, just go home, and I'll see about discussing this in a setting you're more comfortable with." As I finish that sentence, I grab a cupcake and bite into it.

-well shit, better brace for the inevitable political shitstorm.-

"Perhaps that would be best..." she slowly trudges out, still quite nervous from being here.

'Do you think Fluttershy would make a good nurse? because she won't stop asking about the egg.'

-Definitely, she second only to you in keeping the CMC under control after all, not to mention she's looked after practically every type of creature at some point or another.-

Silence. She must be dealing with Fluttershy... OHHH, this one tastes like bananas! Wait, did I just eat the whole box? Yes, yes I did.
