Thirty Minute Pony Stories

“Wait. No. This isn’t okay. Repeat what you said again. Did you say twin sister?”

“Yep-a-rooney! Just like Pound and Pumpkin! Wow, I didn’t even think about that.”

“So, what? All this time, when you’ve been saying it was just you and your two sisters at the rock farm, you were lying to us?”

“What?! No, of course not!”

“…”

“Sissy only ever dreamed of travelling, so first chance she got she high-tailed it out of the farm on Granny Pie’s back!”

“Oh, okay, so you’ve just suddenly got a travelling twin sister none of us have ever heard about. No big deal.”

“Not to play devil’s advocate, or whatever it was you called it, but didn’t you just suddenly get an older brother a few months ago? I don’t think it’s fair for you to be talking about this to me.”

“…Y’know, sometimes it really bugs me when you’re right.”

“Well, that shouldn’t be a problem, since you’re always correcting me all the time, right?”

“Ugh, we’re getting off track here. So you said you got a letter from this…twin sister of yours?”

“Uh-huh! Sissy said she’s going to be touching down in Ponyville in a couple’a weeks and was wondering if I had a place for her to crash for a few days. And since I already work pretty hard for my own room at Sugarcube Corner, I was wondering if…”

“So not only am I the victim of your deadbeat sibling, but I’m her next-best choice?”

“That’s right! Wait, what’s a deadbeat?”

“Never mind. But yeah, I do always have the guest bedroom here. I mean, Spike uses it sometimes, but he sleeps in my room with me anyway, so-”

“So you’ll do it? That’s great! Thank you thank you thank you!”

“Hold on. I haven’t agreed to anything yet.”

“Oh. Heh heh…”

“How alike are you and your sister?”

“Huh?”

“The two of you are twins. How similar are you to each other?”

“Well…I don’t remember all that much about her, since she started travelling with Granny when I was little. Like, really little. I didn’t even have my cutie mark yet, that’s how little I-”

“Pinkie.”

“Right, sorry. Anyway, I don’t remember all that much about her, but I do remember she looked and sounded a lot like me!”

“That’s not what I’m looking for. As much as the thought of double the Pie-eyecandy running around Ponyville intrigues me, I’m much more terrified of the fact that there could be two Pinkies running around destroying Ponyville together.”

“Silly Twilight, when aren’t there at least two mes running around places?”

“No, I mean actually. Not your weird inexplicable cloning powers thing. This would be two very real, identical Pinkie Pies running around causing havoc. At the same time.”

“Why would that be a-”

“Two of you. At the same time.”

“…Right. That is kind of a problem, isn’t it?”

“Worst case scenario, it’s a threat to the stability of the universe itself.”

“Aw, Twilight, you’re overreacting! The worst we’ll do is maybe throw a big party together. And that’s even if Sissy acts like me at all!”

“I’m still not so sure…”

“Besides, she’s only gonna stay here a few days. What’s the worst that could happen?”

“…You know, hearing those words coming out of your mouth frightens me more than I ever thought I could be frightened. But I suppose you have a point. Besides, it’s not like the two of you together would decimate Ponyville in only a few days, right?”

“Right! See? You’ve just gotta loosen up, Twilight! But anyways, do we have a deal?”

“As much of a mistake I think I’m making, yes. Yes, she can stay.”

“Hooray! You won’t regret this, Twi’!”

“I still can’t help but think I will…but okay. Let’s try loosening up a bit, see where it goes.”

“Yay!”

Krizak Comments!

Ahh, hello, dialogue-only. We meet again. It is interesting seeing Twilight gradually get broken down by Pinkie having all the answers (even if they aren’t strictly answer) and showing that it’s not only the apple-farming earth ponies that are stubborn. And yay for Twilight loosening up!
