(Castle Library, Dark Obsidian’s POV)

After 3 hours of reading through multiple spell books, I was able to master 10 different spells with my normal magic. I learned Teleportation, Summoning items, and some healing spells to mend small wounds.

“Well I believe that’s enough studying for one day, You are doing quite well and you’re such a fast learner too Obsidian.” Twilight said with a smile as I helped her put away some of the books. Now it was time to get some information.

“I have you to thank, but how did you become Celestia`s top pupil?” She had just finished putting away the last book before explaining.

“Well, I was only a filly when I saw my first Summer Sun Celebration, where Princess Celestia raises the sun. When I saw this with my own eyes, I became interested with magic and began my studies. Day by day was endless research learning all I can, when my parents enrolled me in Celestia`s School for Gifted Unicorns. A problem rose when I had to take an entrance exam by opening a dragon`s egg and I was close to flunking until Rainbow Dash’s Sonic Rainboom somehow activated my magic`s full potential. I was able to open the egg and became Celestia`s personal student.”

After her story concluded, I was intrigued to learn more to gain some knowledge on Celestia and Luna. “So tell me about the Princesses?”

“Well Celestia is the wisest pony I know, she has been here for over thousands of years with her sister Luna, who rules the night and turned into Nightmare Moon due to ponies neglecting her night. Together they vanquished Lord Tirek to Tartarus, Discord into stone, and King Sombra into the ice.”

This made my blood boil at the sound of my father`s fate, but I suppressed my anger on my face to replace it with one of interest. After a few minutes of explanation, I’ve required more information than I’d hoped to received making my takeover all the more easier.

“Thank you for sharing this with me Twilight.” I said with fake gratitude as we both left the library.

“You are most welcome, but enough about the Princesses, I want to learn a little more about you.” She said with an innocent smile as I found myself in a corner, but remembered what I had said earlier and decided to use that lie.

“What is it that you want to know?” I asked as Twilight grabbed a quill and an ink bottle.

“Well first I’d like to know how you're able to digest crystals.” Twilight began as she began to dunk the quill`s bottom into the bottle but no ink was on the quill. Twilight looked in the bottle to find little ink inside. “Well it appears I’m almost out of ink, so I’ll head to the market to get some and pick up from there.” I simply shrugged it off as Twilight began to get some money to take to the market.

“I’ll be back in a few minutes.” And Twilight left the castle. “See you later then.” I called back as the door closed and I made my way to the couch and got comfortable. I began to overlay some plans with all the information Twilight had foolishly given to me and an evil grin crept onto my face.

(Twilight`s POV)

I walked to Quills and Sofas to pick up some more ink so I jot down the information that Dark Obsidian was going to give me about how he could actually digest crystals. I squealed with joy on the inside as I thought that it would be a bit strange to have other ponies see one of their princesses acting like a giddy school filly.

“Now let me see,” I said as I browsed through the different types and colors of ink. “I usually use black, but I think a bottle of blue might be a nice change.” I said having made my selection, but that was until I saw a six color variety pack with red, black, blue, green, orange, and purple ink bottles.

“Forget just having a single color, I love to have some variety in my life every once in awhile.” I said as I placed the singular blue ink bottle back in its appropriate spot on the store shelf. After that I went up to the counter to pay for my new ink bottles.

“Great choice Twilight, a lot of ponies don’t really get the value of having different colored inks for different things. Your total is 10 bits, by the way.” The salespony said as I levitated the correct amount of bits on to the counter. “Thank you sir have a nice day.” I said as I left Quills and Sofas with a pleasant smile on my face as I headed home.

On the way back to my castle, I heard my stomach announce its presence to me as I walked past Sugar Cube Corner.

(Dark Obsidian`s POV)

It has been almost half an hour after Twilight left to find some ink, but I’d never known it would take that long to find a bottle of ink. But even with my scheming for revenge, I felt rather bored. I did a little reading and practice with my dark magic, but nothing felt as enjoyable.

“When is Twilight going to be back?” I asked myself almost every 5 few minutes.

Finally, Twilight returns to the castle and she seemed to be laughing and talking to somepony which didn’t concern me as much as I continued to lounge on the couch and munching on some delicious crystal stalks.

“I know, It took more than 3 days to finally get Lemon Heart’s head out of that beaker.” The other voice said with a little giggle afterwards.

“I remember that, That must have been hilarious when I had put down that book for a few minutes.” Twilight remarked to the other voices comment and gasped. “Oh, I forgot, I have a new castle-mate for a while until he can get to Canterlot.”

“Oh, where is he then?” The other voice asked. I made my presence known as I leapt off the couch and walked over to them with a bowl of crystals in my gray magical aura. I saw Twilight with a blue mare with a lighter shade of blue and white mane and tail with an hourglass cutie mark. Her eyes were as blue as the ocean as she looked up at me.

“Hi there, I’m Minuette, Twilight’s old friend from Canterlot and a dentist.” She introduced herself as I did the same.

“I’m Dark Obsidian, pleasure to meet you.” I said as I felt myself swoon over her and put a small smile on my face, and it wasn’t fake as I wanted it to be.

I took a bite out of my crystal and she had her jaw hit the floor after I took a bite. “What the… How’d you… How can you…? Uhhhh.” After her little surprised rambling to try and allow her brain to process what had just happened, Minuette had fainted.

“Um?” Was all I could say as I looked over at Twilight. “Yeah, she’ll be fine in an hour. I’ll take her to a spare bedroom and we can discuss your crystal digestion.” Twilight said as she picked up the unconscious Minuette as I asked with a little annoyance.

“So what took you so long to buy a small bottle of ink?”

“Oh, I saw a variety of beautiful colors and went to get something to eat as I then ran into Minuette.” Twilight explained as some of my anger desist. I sometimes wonder why I even stick around, Oh because I have no other place to go in this friendly town that makes me cringe almost everytime I step out into it. All I have to do is nothing but try and suck it up and deal with it, but I’m sure that it will be worth it in the end.

(Minuette’s POV)

I was really bored, I had the day off, but all of my other friends here in Canterlot are all busy. “I wonder if Twilight’s too busy to see me, although I haven’t spoken to Lyra for quite a while, maybe I could visit later.” I said as I looked out of my bedroom window. “Oh I know, I’ll just go to Ponyville and surprise Twilight that I’m going to be staying in Ponyville for a little bit so we can hang out.” I said as I checked my appointment book for the next week, and I found out that I had no appointments at all.

“Alright it’s settled, to Ponyville I go.” I said with a smile as I used my magic to grab my saddle bags, my toiletries, and most importantly my bit bag. I opened the door to my house and closed it behind me and locked it.

I arrived at Canterlot Station and paid for my ticket to Ponyville, now the only thing left to do was wait for the train to arrive. “All aboard for Ponyville!” the conductor said, taking this as my cue to get up from the bench I was sitting on, I walked up to the conductor and gave him my ticket, then I boarded the train. The train ride was nice, but relatively uneventful, it had been three hours since I left Canterlot, and once I arrived in Ponyville I really needed to get something to eat, seeing as I missed the most important meal of the day; breakfast.

I looked around town for any local restaurants, and I saw a building that looked like it was practically built out of deserts, to say that I was tempted to try and eat a piece of the building would be untrue, But let’s face it, I’m a dentist not sugar addict. I walked in and I just happened to sit right in front of Twilight, but she was currently muzzle deep in a menu.

“Find anything good?” I asked hoping to get her attention. “Pinkie, I’m still looking…” Twilight said when she put down her menu and stared at me in both surprise and happiness. “Minuette, what are you doing here?” she exclaimed.

“Just visiting a friend, can you guess who that friend is?” I asked with a smile. “You came to visit me?!” Twilight said still in disbelief that I was here to see her and nopony else. I nodded in response. “So how’ve you been?” she asked. “I’ve been doing okay, you know doing dental checkups for ponies here and there, nothing really special, how about you?” I said as I looked at her menu. “Just been hanging around here doing my usual stuff.” she said.

We finally ordered our lunches after a five minute conversation. Twilight ordered a chocolate milkshake with a daisy sandwich with lettuce, I ordered a strawberry milkshake with a garden salad without dressing. we talked some more as we went back to her castle to hang out.

As we got closer the castle I was telling her about the time that Lemon Hearts got her head stuck in a beaker. “I know, It took more than 3 days to finally get Lemon Heart’s head out of that beaker.” I said with a giggle. “I remember that, That must have been hilarious when I had put down that book for a few minutes.” Twilight remarked as she opened up the door to her castle, then she gasped as if she forgot tell me something before we left Sugar Cube Corner. “Oh, I forgot, I have a new castle-mate for a while until he can get to Canterlot.” she said with a slight blush on her face.

“Oh, where is he then?” I asked teasingly. What I saw next was the biggest breakthrough in dental history! I saw unicorn stallion that had a black mane with a streak of silver, and a gray coat. “Hi there, I’m Minuette, Twilight’s old friend from Canterlot and a dentist.” I said with a smile on my face.

“I’m Dark Obsidian, pleasure to meet you.” he said in response to my introduction. What he did next was the greatest thing I’ve seen a pony do, I saw Dark Obsidian levitating a bowl of gems, GEMS, and he took a bite out of one, I was so caught off guard by this and I felt light headed and I blacked out.
