I awoke to find Sunny clinging onto me like her life depended on it. I could hear her mumble in her sleep.

“Daydream, young man, what have I told you about messing with your father’s paintings?”

Is she dreaming about having a son?

“I know you want to be an artist like your father, but you should focus on your own notebooks we got you. I swear you are more of a handful than I was for Princess Celestia. Oh, he is finally home. Good evening, Marcus. You don’t know how much I miss you. Yes, he was a handful today as usual.”

Great, not only did she think ahead to marriage with me, but she even dreams about us having a son together. In what seemed like minutes she finally woke up yawning deeply.

“Oh, good morning.”

“Good morning,” I responded with a smile, “Sleep well?”

“Yeah, much better than usual.”

“Yeah, I could tell.”

Before she could respond we heard the others yawning and saw them leaving their sleeping bags.

“Come on. Let's start the day,” I began, before we got out of bed and started heading down, “Oh and by the way, Daydream is a nice name for a son, don’t you think?”

“Oh, yeah I guess so,” She responded nervously, blushing heavily.

I simply chuckled as we made our way to the others.

“Why are you blushing, Sunny?” Rainbow teased upon noticing Sunset’s blush, “Did you two have fun last night?”

“No! I… Stop talking!” Sunset managed to exclaim before crossing her arms.

“Well, last night was fun and I learned a lot about your world and your relationship with him. Maybe I will see if we can replicate video games using magic.”

“Be sure to let me know of that kind of progress and the kind of games pony kind comes up with,” Sunset responded with a smile.

Wallflower yawned before walking right up to me and whispering in my ear.

“This is normal for you, huh? Hearing a pony turned human speak about magic and another world.”

“Sort of. I understand it’s a new experience some are still getting used to, despite the three magical threats the school faced. You don’t interact with a source of magic on a consistent basis,” I whispered back with a shrug.

To my surprise she paled a little and chuckled nervously for a few moments, before giving me a sheepish smile.

“Yeah, I don’t, and I hope to get used to it more and the rest of the group. Fluttershy seems nice and I relate a bit with her.”

That was strange and suspicious. Before I could question her behavior, Pinkie tackled me from behind in a hug.

“Oh Marky, it was hard sleeping when Sunny decided to hog you for the night, and she had to call me out.”

“It was my turn to sleep with him and again it’s my day today, so watch your boundaries,” Sunset groaned, before rubbing her head.

“Fine, just know I am comfier to sleep with than you,” Pinkie responded, before blowing a raspberry.

Sunset only groaned in response to Pinkie’s childish behavior.

“See Pinkie, darling? This is why we consider you childish,” Rarity told her, causing the party girl to pout and the rest of us to laugh.

“I am simply young at heart.”

“What do you all want to do today?” Princess Twilight asked with a smile, “I can spend a few more hours with you all, before heading back home.”

“I guess we can show you around town,” Sunset suggested, “How about breakfast on me?”

“Here you are girls,” Mr Cake told us while placing a large tray on our booth.

Again, am I chopped liver? Sunset cuddled close to me and grabbed a doughnut.

“I still don’t know how you talked me into getting sweets for breakfast, Pinkie.”

“We all should eat sweets for breakfast, silly Sunny,” Pinkie responded, before stuffing three whole doughnuts into her mouth.

The rest of us shook our heads at Pinkie being Pinkie.

“I see Pinkie is exactly like her pony counterpart. Now that there’s no threat to focus on, I should spend some time studying why and how there are two worlds here where everyone has a counterpart,” Princess Twilight commented.

“It is weird. I mean I don’t want to go into detail how I was when I first arrived here, but when I wasn’t being a devious b- jerk. Let’s just say jerk,” She began nervously at almost saying a certain word in front of young children sitting at other booths, “I have thought about why there is a parallel mirror world, but ultimately decided it wasn’t worth looking into and instead plotted to find a way to rule both worlds as the ultimate alicorn princess.”

“Only to turn into a demon and get a rainbow to the face by the true alicorn princess turned human and we all lived happily ever after. A fairy tale come to life,” Pinkie continued with a grin.

“Yes, Pinkie. Like a fairy tale come to life, except the villain gets a chance to redeem herself and get a happy ending,” Sunset responded somewhat bitterly.

“Then we all ended up with our own prince and decided to share him,” Pinkie added, getting looks from all of us, “Not literally of course, but Marky is like our prince.”

“You are actually talking sense for once, Pinkie, darling,” Rarity commented, getting nods from the rest of my harem members.

“I always talk sense,” Pinkie pouted cutely.

“It’s ok, my little party balloon,” I told her, before reaching out to stroke her hair, making her lightly blush.

“Why can’t it be my day?” Pinkie asked bitterly.

The girls and I entered the mall with Rarity eagerly leading Princess Twilight inside.

“Oh, Darling without a threat I can show you how we human girls have a good time,” Rarity gushed with an excited look on her face.

“Speak for yourself, Rarity,” Rainbow scoffed.

As we got deeper and deeper into the mall, we encountered a certain stage magician that made most of the girls groan. Trixie’s eyes lit up when she saw me and quickly rushed right to me in a hug.

“Marcus, I am happy to see you!” Trixie exclaimed with a grin on her face, “Even if you are with the rain-glooms.”

“It’s just as great to see you, Trixie,” Rainbow scoffed while crossing her arms.

“Of course, it’s always the best part of everyone’s day to see the great and powerful Trixie!” Trixie exclaimed, making a cute pose and looking adorable, before gasping when she noticed the two Twilights, “Is this a new thing with your real magic?” She asked, putting emphasis on the word real.

“Princess Twilight decided to visit us, and you know our world’s Twilight has been attending school for a few weeks now, Trixie,” Sunset simply explained.

“Right, silly Trixie. She should have just assumed a visit from a girl from another world and there being a counterpart of her in this world.”

“We all have counterparts in the other world Trixie,” Princess Twilight explained, “To be honest you are actually better company than your counterpart, despite not knowing you as long.”

“Figures, Trixie is the greatest to the point that not even another her from another world can compare to her!” Trixie bragged, before doing another cute pose.

“Are you serious, Twilight?” Rainbow asked, stunned.

“Has your Trixie used a magical artifact to cause mayhem around here?”

Rainbow was stunned into silence, before shaking her head.

“Huh? I guess she can be worse after all,” Rainbow admitted.

“I am happy to tell you, so far the new fliers you made for me seem to be getting more people interested in attending” Trixie told me with a smile.

“That’s great, Trixie.”

“Yes, and Trixie would like you to be at her next show so she can show off her special artist.”

“Sure, I’ll be there,” I answered, despite the slightly annoyed looks the rest of my harem members gave her.

“Great, I can't wait.”

We finally left the mall many hours later, with Applejack carrying a large bag for Rarity. Princess Twilight herself was carrying her own smaller bag with an excited look on her face.

“Must you get a lot, Rarity?” Applejack asked somewhat bitterly.

“Of course. Going to the mall with Princess Twilight is such a rare opportunity that I had to enjoy. Besides, half of the stuff are things for her when she decides to visit again. Her clothing is very lacking, though the magic mirror does seem to give her nice looking attire.”

Applejack simply grunted in response and shook her head. Twilight eagerly pulled out the portable game system she bought.

“You guys even have a way to play games on the fly?” Princess Twilight asked excitedly, “Oh this will make it easier to study this and try to replicate our own, back home.”

“Glad we were able to help,” Sunset responded with a smile.

“I will see if I can rework this to work solely on magic, then use it as a demonstration to the princess to help support making our own. It will take a long time. Years even, but I think it will be worth working on.”

We arrived at the statue and Princess Twilight gave us all a smile.

“This has been fun without stressing on how to stop a foe and it was great to freely see and learn more about your world. I will be sure to do this more often, when I get some free time between princess duties, mentorship, or even adventures with your counterparts.”

“Same here, Princess. Though I hope one of these days we get to go to the other world,” Rainbow responded with a pleading look.

“That shouldn’t be a problem and you all get to experience meeting your counterparts like I did,” Princess Twilight chuckled.

“You all will then understand how I feel about this,” human Twilight added.

Princess Twilight simply nodded at her counterpart, before slowly entering the statue and disappearing. Well, this has been fun spending time with another Twilight from another world and it’s only the start. Now to get back to living a fairly mundane life. Well, as much as possible for someone with a harem of girls, where most of the members have access to magic in a limited way, anyway.

Finally managed to write something for this. Between working on my first one-shot here and only having a vague idea for this chapter here. Without a threat to worry about Princess Twilight can focus on learning more about the human world and being who she is will no doubt try to replicate it for use in her world. In turned the two worlds will discreetly start sharing a few things in the long term.
