Twilight sat at the edge of her bed, with the sound of soft breathing permeating her ears. The stallion laid beside her as she listened to his light snoring. It had been a wonderful night, and she had barely slept at all. She smiled to herself as she thought back to those sensations, and how wonderful they made her feel. She almost felt bad for the poor stallion. Did she push him too far? Well, maybe, but she was a beautiful mare, and she had needed… satisfaction.

Speaking of satisfaction, she started getting that feeling back in her loins. She lay back in bed, and started caressing the stallion’s main. She kissed his cheek, and began to whisper in his ear.

“Its time to wake up, sweetie. I want my reward again,” She said in a sultry voice.

The Stallion grunted, and started snoring even louder. Twilight’s mood dropped, and she sat up again in a huff. ‘This is so frustrating. He’s a stallion for Celestia’s sake! How can he not keep up with me?!?’ She thought to herself.

Suddenly, there was a loud knock at the door. Huffing to herself, she quickly got up and trotted down the stairs. ‘Who is bothering me now? I don’t really feel like talking to anypony, I just want to be with that stallion!’

“COMING!!” She yelled in irritation.

When she got to the door, she opened it, with a scowl on her face. Standing before her were Rainbow Dash and Rarity.

“Oh! Hello, girls! Come on in!” She said, almost forgetting her recent urges.

“Uh, hi, Twilight. How’s everything going?” Rainbow Dash said tentatively.

Twilight perked up at the question. She had been dying to tell someone all the progress that she had made. She thought that her other friends didn’t want to talk to her after the…incident.

“Great! I’ve never felt better, girls! I’ve been full of so much energy ever since I-“The mares heard a noise coming from the loft, as they all turned their gaze towards the stairs.

The stallion’s cheeks turned red as all three girls stared at him. Twilight’s mood changed again at seeing her lover standing there.

“Hey there, sweetheart. Why don’t you go back to bed, and I’ll be back up in a moment,” Twilight stated while giving the stallion an alluring smile.

The stallion stared wide-eyed at the mare in front of him, and suddenly sprang for the door.

“No, no, I should be going, thanks again for a lovely evening!” He said as he ran out the door at full speed.

“Well, that was rude,” Twilight said flatly.

Rainbow Dash and Rarity just stared in amazement at their unicorn friend.

“Twilight, darling, did you? Last night? You and him?” Rarity stuttered.

Twilight ignored the inquiries.

“Girls, I got it to work! It feels amazing. I’ve become so much stronger and more energetic! I’ve never felt this way before! It’s like I was reborn when I was transported!” She said with excitement.

“Hold on a sec, Twi. Are you telling us that you teleported yourself? With those… Things that killed Angel? Twilight, that’s the most reckless thing I’ve ever heard! And, that’s coming from me!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

Twilight sighed. Rainbow Dash was right. It was incredibly reckless, and she probably should have waited. It was time to make her case.

“You’re right girls. I just felt so bad about what had happened to Angel that I had to make it work. I couldn’t let Fluttershy’s best pet die for nothing. It worked, though, it really did! I was able to teleport myself within the pod’s mechanism! This will revolutionize travel all over Equestria!”

Rainbow Dash and Rarity looked unconvinced. They looked at each other, and nodded as they switched subjects.

“Twilight, we heard about what happened at the café. We wanted to see if you were alright. What we heard… It didn’t seem like the Twilight Sparkle we know. What in Equestria happened?” Rarity asked.

Twilight’s mood soured. Although she had reveled in her victory at the time, she had moved on, and wanted to discuss her latest discovery.

“Oh, that’s all in the past! I have made a wonderful scientific discovery, girls! So, who wants to try out the telepod?” Twilight said.

“There aren’t enough bits in Equestria to make me go in there!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed, stomping her right hoof into the floor of the library as she glared at her fellow element bearer.

“Twilight, let’s talk plainly,” Rarity interrupted. “You challenged Trixie to a…what do you call it…a hoof-wrestle. Then you injured her, and apparently slept with her companion! Twilight, she has a broken hoof. They have been saying that you actually shattered her bone! What would posses you to do something like this? This isn’t you, Twilight! Maybe something went wrong when you teleported! It’s the only logical conclusion!”

Twilight was seeing red. She could not believe that her own friends were taking Trixie’s side in all of this. The showmare had trounced them all when she first came to Ponyville, and now that she had finally got hers, thanks to one of their best friends, they were against her?

“I can’t believe what I’m hearing! You all know Trixie deserved what she got! Even when I approached her, she was still the same old Trixie! After all the trouble she caused, she hadn’t learned a single thing!” Twilight shouted.

“Huh! I’ll say you approached her! From what we heard, you started the whole thing in the first place! There is no way the Twilight I have come to know would start a problem that blatantly with another pony! Even if that pony was Trixie!” Rainbow Dash retorted.

Twilight’s anger had reached its boiling point. Her emotions burst forth in a torrent of angry speech.

“YOU’RE JEALOUS! BOTH OF YOU! I’M STRONGER THAT YOU, RAINBOW DASH! I WAS ABLE TO BREAK TRIXIE’S HOOF WITH JUST MY STRENGTH! HAVE YOU EVER DONE THAT?!? ARE YOU EVEN STRONG ENOUGH TO DO THAT?!? YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BETTER THAN EVERYPONY AT EVERYTHING, AND NOW THAT I’M STRONGER THAN YOU NOW, AND YOU CAN’T TAKE IT!” She screamed, as she approached a surprised Rainbow Dash.

She turned and let her hateful words spew out of her towards Rarity.

“YOU CAN’T STAND THE FACT THAT I’M PRETTIER THAN YOU! I’VE BEEN SOCIALLY AWKWARD MY ENTIRE LIFE, AND WHEN I FINALLY OPEN UP AND HAVE A WONDERFUL NIGHT WITH A HANDSOME STALLION, ALL YOU CAN DO IS TRY TO BRING ME DOWN! WHAT’S THE MATTER RARITY, THE COLTS DON’T CHASE YOU ENOUGH?!? YOU DON’T GET ENOUGH ATTENTION, IS THAT IT?!? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD A PASSIONATE NIGHT WITH A STALLION?!? YOU DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT TO JUDGE MY LOVE LIFE, MY WORK OR ME!” She yelled as she got nose to nose with the dressmaker.

“HOW DARE YOU! WHAT KIND OF FRIEND WOULD THINK…” Rarity stopped herself in mid-sentence and suddenly backpedaled, her eyes wide with fear.

“Twilight, what happened to your face?!?” She gasped out in fear.

Twilight came forcefully back into reality with that comment.

“What do you mean?” She asked.

“There is nothing wrong with my face!” Twilight said as she trotted towards the mirror in the main room.

She looked at herself and gasped. There were sores forming all over her face, and small hairs sticking out of her chin. She felt them with her hoof, and whimpered. She had to find out what was wrong.

“Face it, Twilight! Something went wrong during that experiment! We’re really worried about you! This isn’t who you are, you’ve changed!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

“Get out,” Twilight muttered under her breath.

“Twilight?” Rarity asked, tentatively approaching her fellow unicorn.

“I SAID GET OUT!” Twilight screamed with tears in her eyes. She used her magic to force Rarity and Rainbow Dash out the door they came in, and slammed it in their face.

‘What’s happening to me?’ She thought to herself. She started breathing heavy as she ran down to her lab.

I hope everyone is enjoying this so far. See you in chapter 6!
