Chapter 34: 34. A step into the looking glass

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

It was around noon, the sun was out behind a few clouds in the sky trying to force some sunshine through to brighten the room Twilight was in while reading. She had picked up a fiction book that Midnight had donated to the library. The books name was 'The alchemyst {The secrets of the immortal Nicholas Flamel}' She had noticed that the authors name was Michael Scott and remembered that the book was eerily familiar to another author by a similar name Michael Trott. His book's name though was 'The spellyst' She pulled that book from a shelf and began cross referencing the books. After a few hours she had made an eery discovery. The books were almost identical. The only difference was in the spells cast, how they were cast, and the characters names, and city names.

Twilight sat there thinking for a few minutes until she began to dig through more of the fiction Midnight had given her. She found a few books that sounded familiar to her and found the pony version's of the books within minutes.

"This is kind of creepy, how can some of these books be so similar to ours?" She questioned looking at the books side by side. "I'm going to have to talk to Midnight about this." She grumbled heading out the door.

Twilight had arrived at Rarity's boutique to see the closed sign on the door. "That's odd, she should be open right now." Twilight mumbled as she knocked on the door.

After a minute noone answered so she knocked a little louder this time.

"Twilight, whatsup?" Midnight shouted from a window about fifteen feet up, his head poking out looking down at her.

"Well I wanted to talk to you about some of the books you donated to the library?" Twilight trailed of as Midnight suddenly ducked back into the room laughing loudly. Twilight listened at the unfolding events upstairs.

"Come to MAMA!" Rarity shouted tackling Midnight to the floor.

Twilight's face flushed a bright red as some shuffling could be heard, then some giggling, then some sexy noises.

Twilight was about to turn around when Midnight popped his head back through the window.

"Um Twi, I'm kinda busy right now. I'll come by the library sometime later to talk to you about the books alright?" Midnight chuckled until Rarity shouted at him.

"Get back in here and fuck me like you MEAN IT!"

Twilight's face burst into flames from burning so hot at the comment Rarity made. "O-ok, no rush Night." She spoke as if broken.

Midnight disappeared back through the window as Twilight began to walk away, she stopped for a moment when she heard Rarity through the still open window.

"Mama's coming!"

Twilight gasped using her magic to shut the window and ran as fast as she could back to the library.

Midnight arrived at the library a couple hours later. He walked in seeing Spike placing books on the shelves as Twilight was between two stacks of books.

"Hey Twi, Now what did you want to know about those books?" He asked taking a seat across from her.

Twilight's face flushed a bright red as she spoke.

"Well, uh......." she began but trailed off.

"Yes Twilight." Midnight smiled

"Huh?" she asked confused.

"Yes Rarity and I were having sex when you came by the boutique." He smirked causing her to flush a brighter red.

"Just so we can clear the air, there is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. You may have heard a few things and I'm sorry for that, but the truth is every couple has a little fun when they can." He smiled at Twilight who just sat there shocked.

"Uh..... do I need to come back later?" Midnight asked nodding to the door.

"Huh? NO! No please stay, I'm sorry, it's just that I never knew anypony to be so at ease with talking about....... well........ sex." Twilight smiled looking away sheepishly.

"Well, that's the problem. Talking about sex or making love is hard for some. Others just don't care to talk about it. I'm one of the others." Midnight laughed causing Twilight to cock an eyebrow at him.

"I thought those two were the same thing." Twilight smirked.

"Nope, two entirely different things." Midnight smiled.

"Explain." Twilight smiled pulling her forhooves up to her chin resting it on them. Her attention on Midnight.

"Well, Making love is having sex with the mare or stallion you are in love with. Having sex is just something you can have with anypony that you don't really have any feelings for that aren't sexually related.. Making love is a special time between two lovers, although they can have sex as well, That's what you heard earlier." Midnight chuckled causing Twilight to hide her face as she blushed.

"That sounds like pretty much the same thing to me." Twilight remarked.

"Well it is the same in retrospect, however If your just horny and want to get off, all you have to do is find another willing party to help with that. Making love takes time between two beings who love each other. Its far more thrilling and intimate." Midnight smirked.

Twilight thought for a moment pulling a book from a nearby shelf. She opened it and began to read but the book quickly vanished reappearing in front of Midnight.

"Making love and having sex for dummies." Midnight spoke as he read the title. "Seriously Twilight?" He looked at Twilight who was burning red at this point.

Midnight's horn glowed as magic flew from its tip hitting the book, stopping after a few second. Midnight placed the book in front of Twilight who gave him a questioning look. Midnight began to chuckle then fell over laughing.

"Night? Whats so funny?" Twilight asked coming over to his side.

"Holy crap! HAHAHAHA Twilight, HAAAAhaha, That book is so full of crap. HAHAHAAAA." Midnight managed to get out.

Twilight was taken aback by this for more reasons than one. She looked at the book then to the laughing Midnight.

"What are you talking about, you didn't even read the book." She grumbled

"Heheee No I didn't read it, I scanned its contents with my magic, I basically hehehehe copied the book into my memory so I would know how t talk to you about all of this."

"Wait, your telling me you can simply scan a book with magic into your memory?" Twilight gasped in awe.

"Heh, yea. Cant you?" He asked watching her shake her head.

"It isn't possible, If I could do that then I would have every book in Equestria engraved into my brain. Please tell me how to do that." Twilight said pleadingly as she trotted in place eagerly awaiting a response.

"I can give you that ability, but I have to warn you my dear, Once you scan a book, it will stay with you forever. Not to mention you can only scan five books a day. Anymore and you will get severe migraines or headaches. Once you feel a headache coming on you need to stop and wait until the next day. You could seriously hurt yourself. One other thing. It's not as fun as just reading." Midnight's smile faded as he spoke, his tone becoming serious.

Twilight nodded giving a soft smile. "I'm willing to accept a little pain for a lot of knowledge."

"Alright then, let's get started." He smiled as his horn began to glow then stopped.

"Whats wrong?" Asked Twilight looking at him concerned.

"I just realized, I have no idea how to tell you how to do that spell." He laughed

"Well, I do know a spell that will let me into your mind, It would also let you and I both explore your mind." She smiled.

"Well, I don't like the idea of anyone, even a friend running around in my head............." He trailed off looking at Twilight who was giving him a very sad puppy dog look.

"Ugh! Fine! How does this work?" He groaned facehoofing.

"Just sit there and relax." Twilight smiled as she scooted closer pressing her now glowing horn to Midnights.

In a flash of light they were standing in a long hallway about ten feet wide from side to side. Doors adorning the entire length of the hallway. They looked in each direction seeing that there was no end either way.

"What the hell is this about?" Midnight asked confused.

"These doors show you your memories and experiences. When you open a door anypony that is here with you will relearn everything that you experienced in that specific category." Twilight smiled.

"Hmm, I wonder where the Magic spells door is?" Midnight asked.

A Loud click could be heard as one side of the hall began to move. All of the doors began to slide quickly in a single direction as the other side stayed in position.

"What the hell?!" Midnight yelled as the sliding wall came to a stop in front of him. The door read, 'Magic Spells.'

"Well that was easier than looking for the door." Twilight laughed as she walked up to the door but stopped seeing a large number above the door. It was at roughly ten thousand and the numbers kept going up ever so slowly. Sometimes moving quickly then slower.

"Whats up with the number?" Midnight asked coming up to Twilight's side, After a few seconds with no answer he looked down to see her mouth agape while staring at the number.

"Twi?"

Twilight shook herself back to reality as she began.

"That number signifies how many spells you know. It shouldn't be moving at all though. It only moves when you learn a new spell, and judging by the revolving numbers your learning spells without even reading about them, How is that even possible?" She asked rubbing her temples in frustration.

"Well, I think about different spells all the time. You know, what I can do with magic and what it's uses could be adapted to?" He smiled but stopped as a whirring sound came from the numbers as they sped up then slowed down again. The number jumped by five hundred. Twilight turned her head to Midnight her mouth agape again.

"You just learned five hundreds spells in less than a second." She growled giving a snort.

"Heh..... sorry?" Midnight smiled nervously.

"Anyway, lets open this door so i can learn these spells." Her attitude changed quickly as she walked up to the door opening it. Upon opening it a flood of information rushed out and around the two. After a few second the door shut on its own as they stood there stunned.

"Wow, what a rush." Twilight smiled on wobbly legs.

"Ugh! Yeah, fun times. Can we get out of here now?" Midnight groaned.

A flash of light and sudden plane shift later, the two ponies were back in reality.

"Ow! My head feels like its splitting. Is that normal?" Midnight groaned rubbing his head with a hoof.

"Not normally no, but since you are an Alicorn and a previous human, I wouldn't expect many side effects from my spell. Anyway, lets see if I learned that spell to scan books." Twilight smiled pulling a book from the shelf and placing it in front of her. Her horn began to glow sending out a small wave over the book, after another few seconds it stopped and she opened her eyes smiling widely.

"Wow. That was.........." Twilight trailed off.

"Beyond words?" Midnight smirked

"Yes, Exactly." Twilight giggled.

"So tell me, what exactly did you want to talk to me about in regards to the books i donated?"

"Oh, I totally forgot about that! I wanted to show you that some of your books look almost identical to the books that were already here in Equestria. The plot and storyline, everything is the same with these books, the only difference is the names of the characters, authors and places. It's very strange." Twilight scratched her head with a hoof looking at some of the books.

"Heh, maybe your world is just another representation of my world." Midnight laughed for a second until her noticed Twilight's eyes light up.

"Oh my goodness!!!! You're a genius!" Twilight smiled bounding over and kissing him then rushing into the other room.

Midnight sat there in shock for a moment. "Uh..... Thanks?"

Twilight smiled happily as she came back with an old dusty book almost as big as she is. Levitating it she plopped it down in front of Midnight then took a seat beside him opening the book.

"This book is almost two thousand years old. It tells about alternate planes of reality and other planets that were visited by my ancestors. Many of them spoke of how some worlds are like our own but at the same time different. I would take a guess that your world is just a mirror of mine. Except for, you know......... ponies and humans." Twilight smiled gesturing in the air with her hooves.

"Sound like a plausible theory. We should look into this further." Midnight smirked causing Twilight to smile.

"Spike, could you bring us some tea please?" Twilight shouted only to hear silence.

"Spike?"

"I guess, he left. Oh well. I'll go fix us some." Twilight smiled as she headed toward the kitchen.

A few minutes passed while Twilight had heated some water and made the tea, grabbing a few snacks while she was there. She made way back to Midnight gasping at what she saw next. He had around twenty books floating around him while the big book from earlier was in front of him, Several scrolls floating and being written on at once.

"M-midnight? What's going on?" She spoke in a startled tone as she placed the tea and cookies beside him.

"Hmm? Oh just making some notes about inter dimensional theory and travel. Nothing to robust." He smiled taking a sip of the tea. "Bleh, needs some sugar." He laughed tossing a couple sugar cubes into it stirring it with a spoon.

Twilight sat there watching Midnight work feverishly with the books. Ever so often he would scan a book and place it down to grab another. In total he scanned eight books. Twilight became worried seeing the strain on his face.

"Didn't you tell me to only scan 5 books a day max." She chuckled.

"Yea, but If I take a break between scans the strain isn't to bad. Wooooo I need a break." He sighed.

"How about we go grab a bite to eat? My treat." Midnight smiled setting the books down and giving a little stretch.

"Sounds good to me, Tea and cookies aren't to filling." Twilight giggled as they headed out the door.
