Why?

Why did it have to be a thing?

Ever since she saw me, she's been all goo goo eyes and sultry voice. And she's been wiggling her butt every chance she gets. I've been keeping count, she's currently at twenty-three.

"Oh, a book that should be on the shelf," Twilight said, bending over and wiggling her butt. "Let me get that."

..... Make that twenty-four. Damn it. Why is she so infatuated with me?

.... Dice are glowing again..... He knows why, and it's probably REALLY obvious. What do you want big guy?

You look kinda like her teacher. She loves her teacher, kinda sees her as a parent.

God damn it. I look like her parent, and the horrible match making rule states you are attracted to people like your parents.... Damn it!

"Um, Miss?" I said to Twilight.

"Ooooh, yes, big guy?" she said in response with that same damn tone and that same goofy face.

"You never even told me your name." I stated flatly. "Yet here we are, walking through your castle to a location that only you know about. I didn't even tell you what I was here for! You just dragged me in and said 'Follow me!'"

Let's just say that she got my point. She dropped the whole sultry voice and the smile and the goo goo eyes and took on a serious tone before apologizing.

"I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!" she said in a pleading tone. "I don't know what came over me. I just.... I'm sorry...."

Oh shit. She's begun to deflate and become a sad sack. I ain't having none of your shit!

"Listen, I shouldn't have yelled," I said. "But that doesn't excuse what you were doing."

"Alright," she said, visibly getting better. "What did you come here for, anyways?"

"I wanted to talk to the Princess," I said. She immediately got really happy and hyper. "I meant Princess Celestia. Sorry to disappoint you. But I did hear that you were once her student. Is there a way you could contact her for me? Ya know, tell her I want to talk?"

"Yeah, that'd be easy," she said. "Just let me get Spike really quick. You can wait for me in there in the meantime." She pointed to a door with her last sentence.

I entered through the door to find a large hallway of books. Moving through the hallway, I came to the center of what appeared to be a MASSIVE library built into the crystal tree. There was giant bookshelves leading to the back walls just filled with books. There were even a few books on a table in the center of the room..... Wait, is that one floating?

As I investigated the table, I found that one of the books was indeed floating. There was a glowing mini-pedestal below it, attached below it and to the table was a small tablet made of some kind of grey-ish clear gem. It had something written on it:

Rainbows

..... Oookay. So, what's this book about, anyways?.....

It's about rainbows. Oookay, that can't be a coincidence. I remove the book from it's floating perch and write my own words on the tablet:

Duplication Spell

A book instantly flew over and opened to a page describing a temporary duplication spell... Which I started reading.

"'Just concentrate mana through the horn,'" I read. "'And focus on making yourself in multiple places at once. Spell lasts ten minutes or until user's mana depletes.' Huh, it's an easy spell, but it takes a lot of mana. Well, let's try it."

I focus as hard as I can and imagine myself where I am and also right next to me. Immediately, another me audibly pops into existence. Oh, I could have fun with this.

Twilight came back a few minutes later with Spike. She headed directly to the center of the library, only to find nothing. Where had that new alicorn gone?!

"Hey, miss?!" said the alicorn as he emerged from one of the lines of bookshelves. "I think I had an accident."

"What do you mean?" Twilight asked. "What kind of accident could you have possibly ha-"

She was interrupted by another alicorn emerged from a different hall of books, followed by another one.

"How did this happen?!" she practically screamed.

"Well, it happened while I was waiting," he started. "I was bored and started looking around. Then I got ansy, 'cause I still didn't know who you were, nor do I know your dragon buddy. So, I went and looked around for something to do. Then this happened!"

"And why were you looking down THAT isle?" Twilight asked the alicorn.

Twilight effectively broke down at that point and collapsed.

While Twilight 'took a nap,' I played chess with Spike. Let me say this, he is damn good. Not as good as one of my old Jazz Band friends, but still pretty good.

Anyways, I waited for Twilight to wake up. When she did I was bombarded with questions.

"Where did you come from?" she asked.

"I just appeared in some castle in that crazy forest," I responded.

"What were you doing there?"

"I just told you, I just appeared there. I don't really have any memories other than that," I lied.

"What is your name?"

"I'm.... I'm Galaxy Wishes," I lied again.

"Alright Galaxy. It seems that your story checks out," she said.

"Wait, what?" I asked. "Were you testing me or something?"

"Yes," Twilight admitted. "I've kinda been reading your memories to see if you're lying. Although, I must say, I like your nickname."

"What?" I said.

"Gold," she said. "It's kinda cute."

"Um. I-I have to-" I choked out before being interrupted.

"Spike, could you show him to the bathroom," Twilight said to the baby dragon.

"How'd you know I needed to..." I started before realizing the obvious. "Oh yeah, reading my mind. Could you please stop that?"

"Sure," Twilight said.

I'm in the bathroom now. The dice are glowing and I'm washing my face.

"What do you want?" I whispered to the dice.

Look at the mirror.

I turned my head to see the astral projection of the DM in the mirror. "Again, what do you want."

I'm betting your wondering what's going on with your 'memories,' correct?

"Actually, yeah. What's up with that?"

Well, this body of yours isn't the original one, so I thought that I'd do you a favor and block your original memories so that you wouldn't be given away 'till you want to. Hell, haven't you seen your eyes yet?

"Actually, no," I said. "Let me see."

Wow, he changed my eye color to brown. Huh, who woulda thunk it.

It's not hard to change it back, just think about revealing yourself, they'll turn back to how they are on your normal body.

"Oh, okay."

*SNAP* *FLASH*

"What was that?" I questioned.

She knows about your connection to me now.

"WHAT?!" I screamed.

Don't worry, it's a good thing. If they knew last time, things would have turned out better. Instead, they thought you were a pretender, set to destroy the peace they had worked so hard to achieve.

"About that, how do you know about it?" I asked.

I'm the DM, I've been watching everything. This is just the neutral world. Your 'Earth' is a realm close to Limbo.

"The realm of Chaos? I didn't think it would be THAT bad," I said.

The Solar Goddess is coming. She is bringing the Goddess of the Moon. Be ready.

The astral projection faded away, leaving me with my thoughts.

"Well shit," I said.
