As soon as Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Twilight returned from their latest mission, they noticed a commotion happening at the HQ; it looked like most of the members were gathered in the lobby. Rainbow Dash flew up, but didn't noticed anything out of the ordinary. Applejack then pulled the closest pony - a cream-colored earth pony mare - and asked her:

"'scuse me, pardner, but do ya know what's goin' on 'round here?"

"So, haven't your heard? Everypony is talking about it!" the mare said with a smile.

"Well, we were kinda outta town for the past few days."

"She's coming back! It's almost time for the portal to open again, and she's coming back again!"

"Who's 'she'?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"And what portal?" Twilight asked.

"Well, I think Trixie can explain it better." Bon Bon said, pointing at the azure mare standing on top of the stairs, talking to Chief Harshwhinny. "After all, she was her teammate!"

They followed her advice and approached Trixie, who had the biggest smile on her face while looking at something big and slim that was covered by a purple cloth. Chief Harshwhinny was holding the edge of the cloth while looking at the watch on her wrist.

"Hey, Trixie." Twilight called. Trixie's head turned around so fast that it startled them, her smile never leaving her face.

"Yes?"

"W-We just wanted to know what's going on he--" she was interrupted when Trixie grabbed her shoulders.

"Sunset Shimmer is coming back!" she said.

"Sunset who?" Applejack asked.

"Sunset Shimmer, former Princess Celestia's prized student and one of the most skilled members of this organization." Harshwhinny explained.

"Princess Celestia told me about her." Twilight said. "She told me that Sunset Shimmer joined the L.R.E. Organization as soon as she graduated from school, though she never explained why exactly."

Harshwhinny looked at her watch once more. "Well, it's time!" with a small tug, the cloth fell down, revealing a large mirror with a purple frame shaped like a horseshoe.

"Is that the portal?" Twilight asked, approaching it. "I've never seen one before, it's so--" She was about to touch the mirror when Harshwhinny grabbed Twilight's hoof and glared at her. "S-Sorry, Chief..."

In just a few moments, the pink gems on the frame of the mirror began to glow, but it only lasted a few seconds. Moments later, the mirror itself began to glow and a pony stepped out of it. Trixie wasted no time and jumped on the pony, hugging her.

"You're back, it's been so long, Sunse--" she finally noticed that the pony she was hugging wasn't her old teammate Sunset Shimmer, but an azure unicorn mare with light blue mane. She had a hairpin shaped like a star and wore a blue hoodie with a purple shirt underneath, a light blue and purple skirt and blue boots; aside from ther clothes, she looked exactly like Trixie. Both mares gasped.

"A doppelgänger!" Trixie yelled.

"A talking animal!" her lookalike yelled back.

The mirror started glowing again and another pony came through. This pony was another unicorn mare; she had an amber colored coat and a yellow and red mane, and was also wearing the standard L.R.E. uniform.

"Hello, everybody!" she said, waving her hoof. "Oops! I mean, everypony!"

"That voice... You're Sunset Shimmer?" the Trixie with clothes asked.

"In the flesh!" she said with a smile, then touched her horn with her hoof. "And magic! I missed you, little friend."

"What are you? What is this? Where am I? What's going on here?"

"Remember when I explained to you that people from my world didn't exactly looked like people from your world?"

"Yes, but I expected you to be still... Human!" she tried to stand on her hind legs, but fell flat on her rump almost immediately. That's when she noticed the lack of fingers on her hands.

"What happened to me?!" she yelled.

"You're one of us now!" Sunset said with a smile.

The Trixie with clothes looked at her body, then at Sunset Shimmer, at the ponies around her, then back at her body before losing consciousness.

"What... What just happened here?" the still conscious Trixie asked.

"Well, Trixie, I'd like you to meet Trixie. She's my girlf-- Marefriend!"

"S-Say what now?"

The second Trixie was lying unconscious on a bed in the infirmary, with Sunset Shimmer sitting by her side. Outside the room was the first Trixie, sitting on the bench by the door, looking down.

"Hi, Trixie." Twilight said with a smile. Trixie looked at her, then back at the floor. Twilight raised an eyebrow, then sat beside her.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing..." she sighed.

"You don't need to hide your feelings from me, Trixie. There's something wrong, I can see it all over your face! Now, let's try this again: what's wrong?"

Trixie took a deep breath and started speaking:

"I'm just confused. Sunset Shimmer was always more than just a teammate to me. She's the reason I joined the Organization. She is my mentor, my savior and, above it all, my best friend. I always looked up to her more than anypony else! And now, half a year since we last saw each other, she not only comes back with a mare that looks exactly like me, but she is also dating her! This was so much to bear that I almost fainted as well. I mean, what does that imply? Does that mean she... I... Argh, is hard even to think about it!"

Twilight placed her hoof on top of Trixie's. "Now, now, Trixie, there's no need to make things this complicated: there's a very simple solution: go talk to her! Ask her about it, I'm pretty sure she will tell you everything."

"You... You think so?"

"She's your friend, isn't she?"

"Of course she is! Thank you, Sparkle, I'll go talk to her right now!" Trixie stood up, but then paused. "Can... Can you come with me? Just to make sure I won't chicken out in the last second."

Twilight smiled and nodded. "Sure thing!"

Side by side, they walked toward Sunset Shimmer, then sat on the bed to the left of second Trixie's bed.

"H-Hi, Sunset Shimmer." Trixie said.

"Hello, Trixie!" she said. "So, how have you been? Things have been so crazy since I came back here that I haven't had time to talk. I'm sorry!"

"N-No, it's ok. I... I just wanted to ask--"

"Why I'm dating you from another dimension?" Trixie looked surprised, but Sunset simply chuckled. "You two were kinda loud! By the way, we haven't been introduced yet! Hello, I'm Sunset Shimmer, former protégé or Princess Celestia and head-slash-only member of the Interdimensional Affairs Department."

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Sunset Shimmer. My name is Twilight Sparkle, new member of the L.R.E. Organization and current protégé of Princess Celestia!"

"Really? Wow, what a coincidence. That's a nice thing to have in common!"

"It sure is!" Twilight said with a giggle.

They then shook hooves. "It's always good to meet new members!"

"Well, I can introduce you to my friends later, we all joined at the same time. But you can tell by Trixie's expression that she's gonna explode if you don't tell her what she wants to know!"

Sunset Shimmer laughed. "Alright, alright. But first I need to explain a few things to miss Sparkle, so that you'll be both on the same page when I tell you everything. You don't mind, do you?"

"Fine, go ahead!" Trixie said, waving her hoof dismissively.

"First, do you know what the Interdimensional Affairs Department is?" Twilight shook her head. "Well, sometimes we deal with foes that are far too strong for our dungeons to contain or for anypony to slay. We couldn't just banish them, because they would just cause trouble somewhere else. That's when Princess Celestia came with a solution: that portal you saw us coming from.

"It leads to a world where magic doesn't exist, so we send the worst of the worst there! Since they are stripped of all their powers and their appearance also change, it's easy to keep them in check. We see it as some sort of rehabilitation! But even if they are free to go anywhere they want in that world, we can't just leave them unattended either; even without powers, most of them are still very smart. They could find many other ways to be a nuisance!

"That's when I offered myself to escort them to the other world personally and stay there to keep an eye on them. Chief Harshwhinny agree with the idea, but she wanted to make everything super formal and all that, so she came up with the name 'Interdimensional Affairs Department'. She even created a new badge for it!" Sunset Shimmer pointed at the suit she had taken off and folded on top of the table beside Other Trixie's bed, which had a badge with a similar design to the L.R.E. Badge, except that the blue part was red and the yellow part was golden.

"Okay, I think I get the idea." Twilight said. "It was a very ingenious plan, but... Why are you here now instead of there?"

"Well, since I'm still the only member of this department, I still have to do everything myself. So, every six months, I come back here to update Chief on the status of all the criminals there. I don't know why, because I could very well send written reports through my magic notebook, but she wants them all delivered personally."

"Magic notebook?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, it's really neat! Ms. Harshwhinny also has one and, every time somepony writes something on one, every word magically appears on the other. She uses it to send me messages that are far too important for her to wait for my next return. It's also for me to use to ask for help in case one of the prisoners decide to rebel against me!"

"That's very convenient." Twilight said. "I must learn how to charm a notebook with that spell!"

"'Enchanting Objects - Size: Small To Medium - Advanced Edition', we have it in our library!"

"Alright, thanks!"

"Well, now that all this exposition is out of the way, let's talk about my sweet little Trix and how she saved my life!"

Alternate dimension. Human world. Canterlot High. Sunset Shimmer opened her locker in order to deposit her school books when she noticed that the satchel she kept under all her stuff was vibrating. She immediately pushed all her other things away and opened the satchel, which had a book inside. The book was vibrating and glowing pink, but stopped as soon as she opened it. It had been a while, but the book she used to communicate with her Chief from the L.R.E. Organization finally had a new message:

Sunset Shimmer

We recently discovered a new vampire infiltrated in Equestria. His name was Flash Sentry and he was disguised as a member of the Royal Guard. His coat was colored light orange and his mane was blue. If you stumble across an individual with that name who fits this description, investigate him immediately!

Signed

L.R.E. Organization Chief

Harshwhinny

Sunset Shimmer sighed and closed that book. She really expected to receive some good news, but got more work to do instead. That information was worrying, though; many ponies from Equestria had counterparts in this world, but so did many creatures with pony form, such as vampires. So, whenever a new vampire was slain in Equestria, she would be informed of this and asked to deal with the problem in this world.

At first this was a hard task because she was used to fighting monsters with her magic, which proved to be a hard task in a world with zero magic. But it had been two years since she first acquired this new form, so she had already gotten used to it, and was now as capable of fighting in human form as she was in pony form.

She looked inside her satchel, which had more than just books: there were also two garlic bulbs and a cloth wrapped around a cylindrical object, which was actually a silver stake she brought from Equestria long ago after she first learned that this world also had vampires hidden in the shadows.

She felt a hand grab her shoulder. She gasped and immediately threw the book and the satchel in her locker before closing it. She turned around and saw a tall blue-haired guy wearing a white shirt and black jacket smiling down at her.

"Hey, babe!" he said. "You look worried! Something bothering you?"

"N-N-No! Not at all! I was just... Thinking about the..." she looked at a poster on the wall behind him. "Fall Formal! Yes, the Fall Formal! It's really close and I haven't... Uh... Decided what to wear yet!"

"Have you tried asking Rarity?"

"Oh. No, I did not. Thanks, Flash, you're a lifesaver!"

"Anything for my sweet little Sunny!" he pulled her closer to kiss her, but was pulled away from her when their lips were about to meet.

"Excuse me, but the Great and Powerful Trixie was under the impression that she ordered you to go to the art classroom and get materials for our schoolwork." Trixie, the person who had pulled him away from Sunset, said. "Less time flirting, more time working. The Great and Powerful Trixie wishes nothing less than A+!"

Flash groaned. "Of all the people Miss Cheerilee could have paired me with..."

"The Great and Powerful Trixie is equally displeased. But we wouldn't have to rush everything if you hadn't neglected your duties all week, would we?"

Flash sighed. "See you later, Sunny?"

"S-Sure thing. See ya, Flash!"

Flash Sentry walked toward the art classroom, followed closely by Trixie. She turned her head to glare at Sunset, who was too lost in thoughts to notice it.

"Flash can't be a vampire." she thought. "Can he?"

Later that night, Sunset Shimmer opened her wardrobe and grabbed a box hidden under a pile of clothes. She placed the box on top of her bed and opened it; from within the box, she retrieved a purple spandex suit with a large collar, dark blue boots and gloves, a cape, a mask and an utility belt with a buckle with the letter "M" on it. A purple hat was the last thing she took.

"It's been a while since last time I had to use these clothes." Sunset Shimmer thought as she wore the jumpsuit, boots, gloves and cape. "Not since the exiled prisoners stopped acting at night." she wore the dark blue mask. "But if I'm going to sneak around at night in secret..." she finally grabbed her hat and placed it on her head. "...why not do it in style?"

Sunset Shimmer, now disguised as her alias, Maiden Do Well, - though most commonly referred as The Maiden - opened her bedroom window to sneak out of her apartment without alerting her neighbors. She closed the window behind her and, with the agility few knew she had, she jumped and grabbed the branch of a tree located right outside her window. She climbed it, jumped on the roof of a nearby house and dashed off into the night.

It didn't took long for The Maiden to arrive at her destination: the roof of the house located on the other side of Flash Sentry's house. She grabbed a binoculars from her utility belt, kneeled and watched his house.

"Come to think of it, I never met Flash's relatives." she thought. "I wonder what kind of people they're--"

She interrupted her own thoughts when she saw the front door opening. She laid flat on her stomach and kept watching as Flash Sentry himself stepped out of the house.

"Flash is going out this late? And on a school night?" Maiden Do Well didn't thought twice before following her boyfriend, doing her best to not be spotted by anyone, specially him.

Her heart skipped a beat when he turned around to look in her general direction. She was quick to duck behind a chimney, then peeked several seconds later, sighing in relief when she saw him walk away at the same pace he was walking for the past few minutes.

"Thank Celestia for this suit." she thought. If it weren't for its dark colors that helped her blend in the night, she would have surely been spotted - her bright red and yellow hair wasn't exactly the best for sneaking around at night.

Flash stopped in front of a house and knocked softly on the door. Not loud enough to wake someone up, but definitely loud enough for someone already awaken to hear. It didn't took long for someone to open the door.

"Welcome again, Flash." the girl with very light grey, almost pure white skin, indigo hair and piercing blue eyes wearing a pink nightgown said. She grabbed him by the collar and pulled his face closer until their foreheads met. "I hope you came prepared this time."

"What the...?" Sunset thought, tightening her grip on the binoculars. "This can't be..."

"Of course I did, Rares!" he said with a smile, patting his pocket. "What about you? Are you sure your sister is asleep this time?"

"Entirely sure, my dear. Now come, we mustn't waste another second." Rarity stepped into her house, pulling Flash Sentry with her, who closed the door behind them. Meanwhile, Sunset Shimmer was almost crushing her binoculars with her bare hands.

"So the bastard is cheating on me." she said, so frustrated that just thinking those words wasn't enough - she had to speak them. "Vampire or not, I will slay him mercilessly!"

While they were busy inside, The Maiden set a trap; she smashed two garlic cloves and spread them across the floor in front of the door before climbing the house and sitting on the roof, waiting. If Flash was indeed a vampire, he would vomit immediately after smelling the garlic. It would not only give her the confirmation she needed, but it would gross Rarity out so much that she would never want to mess with another man ever again.

"Huh, where did that came from?" Sunset thought, surprised with her own remark.

It took about thirty minutes for Flash Sentry to get out of the house and walk down the street. The Maiden raised an eyebrow.

"That was quick." she thought. "Also, he did not reacted to the garlic at all. Maybe he isn't a vampire after all. Just one rotten cheater!" Sunset was about to return home, already preparing her breakup speech, when she saw him enter a street that didn't lead back to his house. Considering where he had been for the past half an hour, she decided to keep following him.

Flash knocked at another door, this one answered by a girl with light green skin and purple hair. She recognized her as one of the girls from Canterlot High, but since they had never interacted before, she didn't knew her name. Once again, Flash entered the house and came out about half an hour later.

That night, he visited the house of several different girls before finally going home. Sunset Shimmer had problems going back home, since it was almost 5 AM and people were already starting to crowd to streets, going on with their daily lives. Once she closed the window, she threw her hat against the wall and angrily took off her clothes, stuffing them back in the box before collapsing on her bed, clenching her fists.

"That stupid cheating jerk!" she said between gritted teeth. "I will snap his neck the moment I--" her speech was interrupted by a yawn. Staying up all night jumping from roof to roof was really tiresome. "I'll still end him, but not now." she grabbed her blanket, covered herself, curled up and closed her eyes. "I'll think I'll skip school today."

Sunset Shimmer stretched and yawned as soon as she woke up. She slowly opened her eyes. "Nothing like a long nap to KYAAAH!!!" she screamed and her heart almost stopped when she saw a man standing beside her bed, but calmed down as soon as she recognized who he was. "Crap, Flash, don't scare me like that."

"Sorry, babe!" Flash Sentry said, pulling a chair and sitting on it. "But some girls didn't went to school today, you included, so I got worried and decided to come see if you were ok."

"I'm okay, I just had a bad night. How did you get in here?"

"You told me where you keep the spare key, remember?"

"Oh, yes, I did." she sat up, still covering her half-naked body with the blanket. "What did I missed today?"

"Nothing much, I guess. So, what about last night was bad?"

"Well, I--" she blinked a couple of times. "Huh, that's a good question. What happened last night? I... Crap, I can't remember a thing!"

"Did you stayed up all night studying again? You know this is not good for your health."

"Yes, I know, I'm sorry. But sometimes I just can't help myself, you know? Like when you spend all night playing guitar."

"Well, since you have a point, I'll forgive you." Flash Sentry got up and kissed her on the forehead. "And now that I know you're fine, I can go on with my day without worries. Don't push yourself, Sunny!"

"Sure thing. And don't forget to lock the door and leave the spare key where you found it."

"Can do!" Flash Sentry said as he left her bedroom.

Sunset Shimmer stretched one last time before getting up and walking toward her wardrobe. She grabbed her usual magenta t-shirt, her orange skirt with a yellow and pink stripe, her black and magenta boots and her trademark black leather jacket. She then noticed one thing missing from her wardrobe: the box containing the outfit she wore when scouting at night. After a quick look around the room, she noticed the box in front of her bed with her hat laying on the floor a few feet away from it.

"Did I used it last night?" she said, opening the box to check if everything was there - fortunately, nothing seemed to be missing. She stuffed the hat inside the box and closed it as soon as she heard a knock on her door. She threw the box in the wardrobe and closed the door. "I-I'll be right there!" she announced.

Sunset ran to the door and grabbed the key, which was hanging from the key holder. Just as she was about to unlock the door, she noticed something:

"This is the spare key." she thought. "Last week I forgot my keys in my locker back in school, so I used those and forgot to put it back in the hiding spot. Then how did Flash--"

Her trail of thoughts were interrupted by more knocks on the door, this time harder ones.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie does not tolerate people who treat her like a common salesperson!" the voice that belonged to the person outside the apartment said. Sunset groaned when she realized who it was and unlocked the door.

"What do you want, Trixie?" Sunset asked, crossing her arms and leaning against the doorframe.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie has come to--"

"Ruin my day?" Sunset asked, her eyes rolling.

Trixie, instead of getting angry like usual, grinned instead. "What if the Great and Powerful Trixie says 'yes'?" Trixie opened her backpack and practically threw a yellow envelope on Sunset's hands. Sunset Shimmer raised an eyebrow and inspected it.

"What's this?"

"You won't know until you open it!"

"I swear to whatever deities you worship, Trixie, if this is blackmail material, I will--"

"Firstly, the only deity The Great and Powerful Trixie worships is Trixie!" she said with a smug grin. "And secondly, this could be blackmail material if the Great and Powerful Trixie so desired, but it wouldn't be you who Trixie would blackmail with those."

Still a little skeptical, Sunset opened the envelope and pulled pictures out of it; pictures of Flash Sentry with many different girls. All the pictures had a date and time on the bottom left corner: the date was last night, and the time ranged from a while past midnight - which was a picture of him in front of Rarity's house, hugging and nearly kissing the snow white girl - from some time past 4 AM - this one a picture of him with another girl from Canterlot High, but she couldn't remember her name.

"Trixie saw him walk past her house last night. Trixie thought it was pretty suspicious, so she decided to follow him in secret. And who would have guessed that--"

Maiden Do Well. Window. Flash's house. Rarity's house. Binoculars. Garlic. Half an hour. She remembered everything! And it hurt - a little emotionally, but very physically. She fell to her knees, clutching her head, which felt like it was about to explode.

"This... This sensation..." she thought. "This... I felt this before..." she loosened the grip on her head, the pain easing a little. "Someone tried to wipe my memories!"

"--rry, I didn't expected you to react this way, I only--" Sunset heard a very distant voice. She then remembered that she wasn't alone there. She looked up and saw Trixie kneeled in front of her with her hands on Sunset's shoulders; she had a look of panic on her face.

Sunset Shimmer tried to get up on her own, but Trixie helped her. She wiped the tears of pain streaming down her face with her t-shirt and took a deep breath.

"Forgive me, I--" Trixie was interrupted by Sunset Shimmer's hug.

"Thank you, Trixie." she said. "You have no idea how much you helped me right now!"

"I-I... Huh?" Trixie blushed a little. Her arms were trembling and she was about to hug Sunset Shimmer back when the girl stopped hugging her.

Sunset then grabbed Trixie's shoulders and looked deep into Trixie's eyes. "Now I need you to tell me one thing: those girls in the pictures! Were they the ones who didn't go to school today?"

Trixie nodded. Sunset let go of her and went back into her apartment. The magician, still a little worried about her classmate's state, followed her inside. The redheaded girl was standing in front of a large bookshelf, skimming through a thick book with a brown cover.

"Ah-hah!" she nearly yelled. "Here it is!"

As Sunset Shimmer read the book, Trixie tried to peek over her shoulder to see what she was reading, but the book was written in a language she had never seen before. The only thing she could identify was the drawing of a half-naked man on the top of the page.

"I should have known." she said. "All the signs were there, but I ignored all of them." she closed the book. "No... No, I didn't ignored! He wiped my memories clean, so I wouldn't suspect a thing!"

"What are you talking about? And stop ignoring the Great and Powerful Trixie!"

"Oh. I'm sorry, Trixie, but I have to go now! I must take care of something!"

Sunset Shimmer dashed out of her house, leaving Trixie alone there with a confused look on her face.

Sunset Shimmer kicked open the door of Flash Sentry's house. She marched straight to his bedroom, where she found him tuning his guitar.

"Sunny? How did you get in--" he asked, but she grabbed him by the collar and slammed him on the floor, straddling him.

"I know what you are!" she said.

"I-I don't know what you--"

She punched him in the face, making him clutch his nose.

"What the hell did you do that for?!"

"That was for cheating on me." she punched him again. "That's for lying to me. " another punch. "That's for endangering the lives of those poor girls!" yet another punch. "That's for messing with my memory while I was asleep." and one last punch for good measure. "And that's for making me fall in love with you, you damned Incubus!"

Flash chuckled.

"So, you finally figured that out, huh?" he said with an evil grin. "Maybe you're not quite as bad as I expected you to be, Equestrian." he would have shrugged if she hadn't immobilized his arms with her legs. "But not as good as those prisoners told me you were, so I'm kind of disappointed!"

"Your opinion doesn't mean jack to me. You're just a monster from Tartarus sucking the life out of innocent girls!" she reached into her pocket and retrieved a necklace with Celestia's cutie mark on it. "But I am here to send you back to where you came from. For good!" she placed her hand on Flash Sentry's face and raised the necklace as high as she could.

"Hear me, oh mighty Goddess of the Sun, for I am your loyal servant. Channel your power through my mortal body and pulverize this tainted soul. Send it back to the depths of Hades as a warning for those who--"

She was interrupted by Flash Sentry's uncontrollable laughter.

"Oh, this is rich!" he said. "Do you really think the power of your Goddess of the Sun can reach this realm? Too bad, but she has no power here."

Flash Sentry got up with superhuman strenght, throwing Sunset Shimmer against the wall of the bedroom. He slowly walked toward her.

"I was waiting for you to be ripe enough to bear the child of a demon, but you had to ruin everything, didn't you?" he grabbed her by the arm and spun her around, smashing her against the floor. "You were the perfect choice, but now I'll have to look for someone else!" he kicked her, sending her flying until she crashed on another wall. "Shame on you, Sunset Shimmer." he grabbed her by the neck and lift her as high as possible. "Don't worry, though. No one will miss you!"

Water splashed on his face, which began to smoke. He let Sunset fall to the floor and clutched his burning face, yelling in pain.

"Are you okay?" Sunset opened her eyes with difficult, only to see a blue hand reaching out to her. Moving her eyes a little, she saw that the hand belonged to the same girl she had just seen a few moments ago.

"T... Tr..." she tried to speak.

"Say no more!" Trixie said, helping her up. She then laid her down on Flash Sentry's bed. "The Great and Powerful Trixie can handle this."

"You little slut." Flash said. His face was partially melted, revealing a dark green, wrinkly, greasy skin underneath his boyish looks. It was revolting, for the lack of better words. "What did you do to me?"

She showed him a glass vial full of water. "Holy water, best way to inflict pain to a demon since the Dark Ages!"

"I... I thought you... D-Didn't worship... Any deities..." Sunset Shimmer said.

"Wrong again, Sunset Shimmer. Remember what The Great and Powerful Trixie told you earlier?"

Flash Sentry was about to attack her, but another splash of holy water to his face kept him at bay.

"Legend says that Dolos, the greek god of trickery, fathered a demigoddess called Trixie. But like many gods from Mount Olympus, he didn't wanted anything to do with her and simply abandoned the poor thing. She was a trickster by nature, just like her father. Once she was old enough to learn the truth, her mortal mother told her about her father."

Flash Sentry once again tried to attack, but Trixie still had more holy water for him.

"Angered by the fact that her father abadoned her, she roamed the land, searching for him. When they finally met, Trixie challenged him: the best trickster would be the one worthy of the title 'God of Trickery'! Dolos was a god, but Trixie had the cunning spirit of a mortal. She dethroned Dolos and became the new goddess of trickery.

"But her father was a sore loser and made sure that this information never spread across the land of the mortals, forever keeping his loss a secret. But not from us!" Trixie reached into her pocket, retrieving a golden badge shaped like a crescent moon with a magic wand on top of it, flashing it on Flash Sentry's face. "For we are the Lulamoon clan, direct descendants and loyal servants of Trixie, the Great and Powerful goddess of trickery. I am The Great and Powerful Trixie Lulamoon, chosen by the goddess herself to inherit her name and harness her power!"

Flash tried to shield his face with his hands, but the power of the Lulamoon badge was still hurting him. She pushed him against the wall and pressed the emblem against his head, making him scream.

"Now begone, foul being! The Power of Trixie banishes you back to your land of pain and misery, where you shall spend the eternity suffering the same pain you made others suffer."

There was a bright light that forced Sunset Shimmer to close her eyes. Flash Sentry's body began to deteriorate, until all that was left were his greasy clothes. Once he was gone, Trixie fell to her knees, panting.

"The Great and... P-Powerful Trixie... Never thought that... Channeling the go... goddess's power was so... Tiresome..." after a couple of deep breaths, she got up and walked to the bed, where Sunset Shimmer was still lying down, staring at her in awe.

"Trixie worships the only goddess who can get the job done." she collapsed on the bed, beside Sunset Shimmer. "Well, the Great and Powerful Trixie never thought she'd had to exorcize him to get him out of the way, but Trixie did it. The path is clear!"

"Path to wha--" her words were interrupted by a pair of lips that planted themselves on Sunset Shimmer's. Though it only lasted a couple of seconds, it was enough to amaze her. "Tr-Trixie, you..."

"Did Trixie ever mentioned that you are incredible, Maiden Do Well?"

"How did you...?"

"Remember that night on the alley, when some muggers cornered Trixie and you kicked them into oblivion?"

"Y-Yes, I..."

She nodded. "One of them cut your arm. The next day, you show up in school with a bandaged arm, the same arm Trixie saw the guy cut The Maiden. It couldn't be a coincidence! Trixie fell for you that day, but you weren't available, since you were dating Flash Incubus Sentry."

"Please, I just want to forget that I ever had anything to do with him. I mean, it."

"If Trixie wanted a chance, Flash Sentry had to be out of the way. From that day on, Trixie did her best to keep you two apart, even going as far as to bribe Miss Cheerilee into pairing Trixie with him for her schoolwork. Forgive Trixie if this sounded creepy, but Trixie always suspected that Flash Sentry was more than he looked. Turns out that the Great and Powerful Trixie was right once again!"

"You sure were, Trixie..."

"What an... odd love story." Trixie said.

"What happened to the girls?" Twilight asked. "The ones he 'endangered'?"

"Well, nothing much. He just sucked some vitality out of them. They were exausted for days, but recovered in no time! Also, it wasn't their fault that Flash was cheating on me. Turns out thet he had wiped the memories of us being a couple, which allowed him to completely manipulate them. They were just puppets and he was the puppeteer!"

"You never told us why you brought her here in the first place." Trixie said.

"Well, I thought that it would be obvious after that story I just told."

Trixie rubbed her chin for a moment, then realization suddenly hit her. "You want her to join the Organization, am I right?"

Sunset Shimmer smiled and nodded. The other Trixie groaned as she opened her eyes, then sat up, rubbing her head.

"Wha... What did Trixie missed?" she asked.

"Welcome back to the conscious world, Trix!" Sunset Shimmer said with a smile. "How was the nap?"

"Trixie does not think it's over yet, considering that you are still a... What the hell are you?"

"I am a unicorn! Wasn't my horn a big and pointy clue?"

"A... Unicorn? And what am I?"

"And so are you, look!" Sunset Shimmer levitated a mirror in front of her face. Trixie waved a hoof, then touched her cheek to make sure it wasn't a trick.

"Huh, it will take some time to get used to it." she looked to the azure pony sitting on a different bed. "Wait, if the one in the mirror was Trixie, then is that...?"

"Yup! That's Trixie! Well, the Trixie from this dimension. We're old friends!"

"Does... Does our relationship, by any chance, makes things awkward between you two?"

Trixie looked at Sunset Shimmer, then shrugged and smiled.

"After hearing that story? Not at all!"

Early in the next morning, Sunset Shimmer entered the mares' locker room, where somepony was taking a shower. She saw her lover's clothes on the benches and grinned. She sneaked into the showers, where the azure mare was washing herself. She approached her on the tip of her hooves and hugged her from behind, burying her face on her mane. Trixie gasped and blushed.

"Your hair smells as good as usual, Trix." she said.

"S-Sunset..." she said. "I-I think you got the wrong Trixie."

"Huh?"

The curtains of the shower were opened, revealing a frowning Trixie wearing the L.R.E. uniform. This Trixie, though, had a star-shaped hairpin on her mane.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie looks away from five seconds and you turn into a deviant?" she said between gritted teeth. "Did that Incubus turned you into a Succubus before Trixie vanquished him?"

"I-I-I'm so sorry!" Sunset Shimmer immediately jumped away from the first Trixie.

Pony Truxie resumed her bath, her blush never leaving her face, while Human Trixie yelled profanities at her marefriend. "Aaaand she made it awkward!"

Author's Notes:

Another change in this universe: since Starswirl didn't used it quite as much as he did in the canon universe, the magic of the portal is still quite strong, which means that, instead of opening every 30 moons, it opens every three months.
Oh, the glorious power of fanfics taking place in alternate universes!
Also, HUMANS! Gotta love 'em, huh?

Also, sorry if this chapter took a while, but I had planned to keep Flash a vampire in the human world, but then I realized that things would just get repetitive, so I decided to change him into an Incubus just for the sake of variety. And so, I had to make an awful lot of changes based around this idea. I wasn't sure if I could pull it off and halfway through this I seriously considered turning him back into a vampire, but in the end, I didn't. Hope the results are pleasant to you.

Also, longer chapters are longer.
