Author's Notes:

Ok, that last chapter was craptastic. This one should be a lot better. I don't remember if I used this music for a chapter before this one. If I had, please let me know.

There was a loud bang outside.

It was extremely dark outside and nothing could be seen. Sunset jolted awake and cringed at the pain in her shoulder. She carefully cradled her wounded shoulder and peered outside the window. She couldn't see anything. She sighed. It was nothing. Just a noise. Sunset went back to bed and laid down. She was very aware of the empty space beside her. Ever since that incident last week, Twilight and Sunset had gotten into countless arguments.

Both of them had yelled at the top of their lungs screaming words they knew they'd regret. Just like that, their relationship had fell in an instant. And who's fault was it? Neither took blame. They just knew that what they once had was over. Remembering the times she and Twilight would lay in bed and whisper to each other sweet words was painful. Sunset clutched the sheet close to her and closed her eyes. Nothing was the same anymore.

Every night she felt empty knowing she had no one to hold so she could sleep the night away. Replays of the last time she saw Twilight came back into her head and she couldn't stop it from coming.

Sunset stood by the front door of the house glaring at Twilight. The girl before her had tears in her eyes and was trying to hold them back.

"You are so horrible! Why is it that I'm the one to blame for everything?! I never hurt you!" Twilight cried.

"You did hurt me! It's because of you that I can't trust anyone, much less you," Sunset snarled.

Twilight swallowed to keep herself from bursting into tears.

"But I didn't! I keep telling you that. I would never have hurt you!"

Sunset stared at her. She did not believe anything that came out of her mouth. Twilight stood there struggling to make her believe her. She frantically searched the other girl's eyes for signs of change. Anything that told her that Sunset still loved her. A shining smile, a mischievous glint in her eye, a soft red hue of blush on her cheek...But there was nothing. She was the same as when Twilight first met her.

A girl who could care less about someone's feelings and more about her own well-being. Just a person without emotion; a robot. Sunset glowered at her fiercely. Hate was there in her eyes. Twilight could see it clearly and it was a deep sense of hatred. Twilight felt all the energy in her drain from her body as this realization dawned on her. Sunset didn't love her anymore.

She fell to her knees and started to cry. Swiftly, Sunset grabbed her and dragged her out of the house. Celestia was outside looking depressed. She, too, had been rejected. Sunset slammed the door and locked it shut. Outside she could hear Twilight crying over the rain that soaked the two. Sunset clenched her fists and stiffly walked away from the door. The rain was hard and cold outside. Celestia pulled Twilight to her feet and turned away from the house.

Looking back one more time, she sighed and half carried half dragged Twilight away as she cried desperately for Sunset. All of this was just too much to bare. Sunset watched them leave slowly from a window and felt herself weaken. She just shut out two of the most important people in her life. But it was all for the better...

Right?

Twilight lay awake in bed. She was at Applejack's along with all her other friends. The lights were out but everyone knew the other was awake. Everyone was quiet as they thought back on everything. It was Pinkie Pie who broke the silence.

"Twilight...why did you do that?"

The said girl turned to face where Pinkie would be. It was dark and none of them could see.

"What are you talking about?"

She heard a sleeping bag shift in the dark.

"At the mall. You got Flash arrested by the mall security. Why did you do that?"

Twilight paused. What was this about a mall? She hadn't been there for a long time.

"I wasn't at the mall. What are you going on about, Pinkie?"

This time it was Applejack who spoke.

"You were. Just about near two weeks ago now. You saw us and then ran away. Flash started going Usain Bolt and so we followed. You know."

But Twilight didn't know. She remained silent and thought it over. How could she and Pinkie Pie claim she was at the mall when the last time was almost a whole month ago? And why would she get Flash arrested? She'd never do that to him. This didn't make any sense. Sensing that she seemed to not know what they were talking about, Rarity turned on the lamp. All of the girls sat up and blinked and squinted.

Twilight looked at them all and frowned.

"What are you talking about? I haven't been to the mall in a while."

Rarity crossed her arms.

"What do you mean? You came by the Beautique for an extra pair of your clothes."

"What?"

"Yes, darling. You came by and I noticed you had grown a few sizes up from what I remembered. I had all these fabulous dresses for you to try on and it was such a pity you couldn't try them. I had Fluttershy wear them, but they were specifically tailored to you so it wasn't as magnificent as I hoped."

She didn't remember any of this.

"But...I never asked for a new pair of clothing. The only thing I asked you to redesign was Sunset's leather jacket."

Fluttershy glanced at Rarity and back at Twilight looking baffled.

"But you were running in the mall and caused a big commotion. you screamed to make Flash go away and the Segway men got him. You should apologize to him. He was quite upset about it."

Twilight was getting slightly aggravated. What was going on? This was just as confusing as when Sunset blamed her on causing her the cuts in her hand and shoulder. She had screamed at her, claiming that she tried to murder her.

"But I never--What is this? Some kind of game??" Twilight sighed.

"That's what we should be asking you," Rainbow Dash told her. "You know you did something wrong so just say sorry. What's so hard about that?"

"But I--Gah, what is going on here?! First, Sunset's saying I tried to murder her in the rain and now you all are saying I got Flash arrested. Don't tell me this is some kind of sick game the six of you are playing!"

This new information surprised them.

"What? Sunset accused you of murder? Tell us what happened," Pinkie Pie said.

Twilight spilled the beans on the whole thing and told them of all the arguments and ruined relationship. About everything that happened starting from the time she found her and the last time they had seen each other. She even told them about Celestia's poisoning her.

Everyone was quiet when she finished. Something was definitely wrong here. Rarity stood up and grabbed her measuring tape.

"Come, Twilight. Let me measure you."

"Measuring isn't going to help us, Rarity," Applejack said.

But Twilight stood up and let the girl measure her.

"Just as I thought. Your measurements have been reduced to the same ones I originally had in my book. The girl I measured at the mall had wider hips, more weight, and more of a chest. She also had makeup on and her eyes...At first I thought they were contacts but now..."

Rarity frowned and shook her head.

"The makeup was what made me assume you and Sunset had a dinner date."

"Dinner date?" Twilight repeated.

Rarity nodded.

"Twilight. You've been impersonated. Someone has stolen your identity and is out to destroy your life."
