(Dream Realm, Roseluck’s P.O.V)

I was having a great time with Minuette and Obsidian, we were on our second date, and not far from us was Caramel, Daisy, Lily, and Trenderhoof. We were having dinner and getting my well deserved revenge on my sisters for reading my diary. “This has been absolutely wonderful spending this evening with you all.” Caramel said holding Daisy’s hoof romantically. “Agreed, this has truly been a great time, especially when you have a beast slayer for a sister.” Trenderhoof said as he nudged Lily playfully. “Oh, stop it.” Lily blushed and leaned against Trenderhoof. “You know, this reminds me of the time that Lily tripped over her own hooves when she was walking to the bathroom and fell face first onto the floor.” I said with a smug grin. Lily perked up and blushed in embarrassment as Trenderhoof looked at her puzzled. “Oh really, what happened with this little event?” He asked with curiosity. “I um… uh.” Lily stuttered with embarrassment with her words as I continued my revenge. “So it was Lily’s 8th birthday and she drank an entire pitcher of lemonade before we left for the restaurant, she made the mistake of ordering water as her drink for the evening, and as one of the waitresses came to refill her glass, the sound of water pouring almost made her wet herself. So she was trying to calmly walk to the bathroom without looking suspicious, next thing I know I hear a thud on the floor and I see her get up and ran the rest of the way, she comes back with a piece of toilet paper on her left back hoof, and nopony told her until we got home.” I said trying not to laugh too much. Lily on the other hoof was as red as an apple from her massive blush of embarrassment and tears began to well in her eyes as she started to remember her humiliating memory.

Trenderhoof did his best to contain his laughter. “Babe, I can’t believe that happened to you, is that why you refuse drinks before going anywhere now?” He asked with a small chuckle. I looked at Lily with a look that said: “This is what you get for humiliating me, not so funny being on the receiving end now is it?”. “Oh Caramel, Daisy didn’t tell you that she burps when she gets nervous did she?” I asked with a sly grin. “You what, my dear Daisy?” Caramel asked with slight disgust and laughter. “Yeah, I remember one time we had our final exam in our accounting class in college, she was so nervous she kept burping silently as we were testing.” I said with a sinister smile. Daisy blushed madly at the memory as Caramel tried to hold in his laughter. “Was this true?” Caramel asked. “It’s true, but that’s not the best part. The best part is this, she got so nervous, that she rushed her last equation so she could run to the bathroom and throw up, but she accidentally went into the stallion’s room.” I said trying to hold back my laughter at my sister’s most embarrassing moment in college. The two stallions couldn’t hold back their laughter any longer and laughed hysterically as my two sisters could only blush in embarrassment and let the tears flow freely as their secrets were revealed. I got up from my seat and went behind their seats. “Now you know how I feel when you two go through my stuff. This is the fate that awaits you if you do anything like that again are we clear?” I said with a stern expression. Both the mares nodded in defeat and I trotted out of the restaurant victoriously as Minuette hugged me, Obsidian on the other hoof seemed different as he came from behind.

“Was that really necessary, hurting your sisters like that.?” He asked. “They embarrassed me, I figured I return the favor after all they go through my stuff to try and blackmail me with.” I said defensively. “Still I think you should apologize to them so they know not to do that ever again, otherwise it’ll be an unending cycle of blackmail, and you certainly don’t want that now do you?” He asked with a quirked eyebrow. “I guess you have a point, I really don’t want any more of my secrets spilled to the public.” I said defeated as I headed back inside the restaurant. I saw my sisters still crying. “What do you want?” Lily asked in between her sobs. “I came to apologize, it’s just that you two have hurt my feelings, and I just wanted you to know how much it hurt me. I still love you both because we’re family, but it’s not okay to blackmail one another, okay?” I said as I started to tear up and I hugged my sisters tightly. “We’re sorry too.” Daisy said as she embraced me as well and the two stallions couldn’t help but ‘aw’ at the sight. “Listen, babe I know you’re upset with me, but I never told you that I farted in the middle of class and stunk out the class for the whole day.” Trenderhoof said with a blush on his face. “And Daisy you might not know this, but there was a time I had to make a run to my job, but slammed into a wagon full of garbage.” Caramel added with a slight blush appearing. My sisters, their coltfriends, and I just laughed at the embarrassing events and my sisters kissed their respective coltfriends on the cheek. “Now if you excuse me I must return to my herd, I’ll see you two later okay?” I said as I trotted off to rejoin Minuette and Obsidian.

“You made the right decision Rosie, I’m proud of you.” Minuette said as she embraced me tenderly, Obsidian however was just staring at the moon. “Obsidian, are you alright?” I asked him as I reached out to him with one of my hooves. He turned his head about 90 degrees to his left and the green eyes and purple smoke from his eyes shown in the moonlight. “Roseluck, you’ve betrayed me.” Obsidian said in a deep evil voice. I was getting scared and backed up a little to Minuette. “What do you mean I’ve betrayed you? You’re the one who told me to go back and apologize to my sisters.” I said as I started to cling to Minuette, but she looked at me with a sneer. “Get off of me you wretch!” She shouted making tears stream from my eyes. “You could have joined us in our triumph for conquest and you betrayed us both.” Obsidian said with anger as he began to form into his shadow form and Minuette just stood idly and looked at me with an angry expression. “Now you’re going to pay for your crimes.” Minuette said with a sinister smile as Obsidian appeared behind me with the same expression. “Now you’re going to see what happens to traitors.” Obsidian said with a dark tone. I screamed as I felt Obsidian and Minuette use their magic shock me to death.

(Dream Realm, Minuette’s P.O.V)

I was enjoying my job of dentistry as the office was packed with ponies who cared so much about their teeth and came for their six month appointments and not making some excuse to why they missed them. Obsidian was with me as my assistant and he was enjoying himself by giving little travel bags with floss, a new toothbrush, toothpaste, and stickers for the foals. “Now remember pound cake, you have to floss more often if you don’t want your gums to bleed when we do this next time, ok?” He said with a gentle smile. “Yes, Mr Obsidian.” Pound cake said with a smile. I was currently working on Pumpkin Cake who had taken better care of her teeth and gums. “Ok, Pumpkin, just keep up your routine and those teeth will last you for a long time.” I said with a smile. “Thank you, Ms. Colgate.” Pumpkin said sweetly. I rustled her mane a little as she gave an adorable squeak before joining her brother. I giggled at the nickname everypony called me when they came to my office. “Oh Obsidian this was fun, busy, but fun because you were here to help me.” I said with a loving smile. “I couldn’t agree more, any more patients still waiting?” He asked as he was cleaning his work station. “The next patient is Roseluck, what a pleasant surprise.” I said with a roll of my eyes. Just at that moment, Roseluck had trotted in happily as she was ready for her appointment. “Hey Minny and Obsidian, I’m ready for my check-up.” She said with glee. “Alright, please sit in the chair, and we’ll be right with you.” I said as Obsidian and I got our tools together and went back over to Roseluck. “Ok, we’re ready, just remember to stay still and let us do our work.” I said with a giggle. Obsidian had cleaned off the tools and we got to work making sure there were no cavities or plaque build-up. “Well Rosie, your teeth are in pristine condition, but there is a slight amount of plaque, as long as you use your mouthwash you’ll be good to go.” I said as I finished up Roseluck’s appointment.

After several minutes of cleaning, flossing, and brushing, Roseluck’s teeth were all cleaned and shined like the sun. “Wow Minny, you sure know your stuff.” Roseluck said with glee and gave me a loving hug. “Yeah, I know, I mean at first I thought I would hate doing this, but after I graduated college, I knew that this what I wanted to do with my talent.” I said as I returned the hug. “Well I’m glad you did find dentistry as your special talent.” Rosie said as she backed from the hug and looked to see Obsidian putting away some of the dental equipment. “Me too, now as always, you get a discount for being in a really close relationship with me, so you pay only 20% of your bill, the rest is already covered by yours truly.” I said as I gave her a travel bag with her new pack of floss, toothpaste, toothbrush, and mouthwash. “Thanks Minny that’s really nice of you, but do you know what else is nice?” Roseluck asked with a slight hint of seduction in her voice and pointed her eyes at Obsidian. “Ooh, I know, but I don’t think we should do that here seeing as I had some security cameras in this place.” I said with a seductive smile. “It doesn’t hurt to, you know give him a sign.” Roseluck winked at me with the same seductive tone. “Fine, but first, I need some time to freshen up.” I said with a wink of my own as I brushed my tail over her muzzle. I headed into the private bathroom not too far from the operation room and I began to wash my face and complete all my other hygienics. “Now time to work the magic of love.” I said slyly as I came out to see Obsidian staring blankly at something and then turning to me with his green eyes and purple mist seeping out. “Why, why didn’t you join me?” He said with an angry tone. “You said you didn’t want that anymore.” I said as I backed up fearfully and bumped into Roseluck who only stared at me with soulless eyes. “He promised to he’d still love us and we would rule beside him! Why would you try and harm his handsome face?” Roseluck said with an evil tone in her voice. “No! Please, don’t hurt me!” I pleaded as tears were flowing down my face. Obsidian morphed into his shadow form and loomed over me. “You betrayed me and Roseluck, Now you will suffer the consequences of treachery.” Obsidian bellowed evilly as his shadow struck down upon me. I dodged him, but Roseluck kicked me in the stomach and used her strength to throw me through my front window effectively silencing me for good.

(Twilight’s Castle, Obsidian’s P.O.V)

I was sound asleep in my room, dreaming of my colthood dream I decided to live one final time of my reign as King of the Crystal Kingdom. However, I wasn’t alone as I had my two gorgeous queens, Minuette and Roseluck standing beside me with proud smiles. The Symbol of Sombra flew over the castle as our flag and the ponies below rejoiced at our presence. I was happy to see the ponies below admire their new royal family, as I delivered the news that there was going to be a prince and a princess to rule in the future. More cheers were heard as I kissed both my queens lovingly. “I’ll never leave you, my loves.” I said with a loving smile. “Hehehe ahahaha.” A laughter echoed through and I knew it wasn’t Roseluck or Minuette, but I knew that laugh. “Show yourself Tainted Soul!” I shouted as the dream was frozen and the tantibus of Sombra appeared right outside the balcony. “Well, well, well If it isn’t Obsidian living the dream he’d always wanted.” He said as he descended toward me. “This will be the last time this dream ever exists, because now I truly know what’s important and that’s being with the ones I love.” I said with an angry scowl. “Is that right? Then why did you still hang onto a dream you consider impossible? Only with my help was I able to get you close to that dream.” Soul said as he relaxed comfortably on the throne. “Go away, and leave me in peace you filthy heathen!” I shouted at him as I threw a spear at him, which unfortunately did nothing. “Yeesh Obsidian, Sorry if I pulled your strings. But you should know that a darkness will emerge someday and when that happens, let’s just say that Equestria will learn how to actually fear for their lives ahahaha.” Soul said as he maniacally laughed at the end. I suddenly heard the sounds of gasps rip me from my dream and to the physical world.

I saw Minuette and Roseluck look like they just saw a ghost. “What’s wrong with you two?” I asked as the two mares just attacked me with a hug and began sobbing into my coat. “Oh Obsidian, it was so terrible.” Minuette said in between her sobs. “We were dreaming happily and we both saw that you became evil and… and.” Roseluck choked on the last part. “What happened, please tell me!” I said in a worried tone. “You killed us both.” They said in unison as they continued sobbing in despair. I could only imagine how much pain they were going through and I could only comfort them at their time of need. “Shh, it’s alright it was only a bad dream, nothing more, you both know that I would rather die than hurt either of you. That’s how much I love you, never forget that.” I said as I pulled them closer and kissed their foreheads. Their sobbing had ceased a little and began sniffling with their eyes still red from sobbing and smiled a little bit. “We know you’re not like that monster, but why would we dream of such horrible things?” Minuette asked with confusion. “Tainted Soul must have infiltrated your dreams to convert them into nightmares.” I said as I released them from my embrace. “That demon? Obsidian, we want to stay with you for the night and protect us from that demon.” Roseluck said as she and Minuette cuddled with me. “Nothing would make me happier.” I said as I nuzzled the two mares lovingly as we went back to sleep.
