*3 Days Later*

Twilight Sparkle heard her alarm clock buzzing at her, telling her to get out of her bed and start the day. Turning over in her bed, she lazily reached out and pressed the snooze button. She sat up in bed and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. Her wings moved behind her, stretching out to their full length. They felt stiff from not moving all night long and the injuries that were still healing. Thankfully, a majority of the wounds had halfway recovered, and some of them had gotten entirely covered by the new growth of feathers. Their presence only served to remind Twilight of what was going to happen. She would have to face Trixie and the rest of her classmates... again. Looking out her window, she debated not going to school today. The sun shone into her room, illuminating her floor and carpet. Birds were whistling their morning songs, almost as if they were saying good morning to her, making her smile. However, endangering her perfect attendance record was out of the question. Wings or no wings, she had to go. So, with newfound motivation, she threw the blanket off of her and got dressed for the day. Just as Twilight was about to leave her room, she spotted her hoodie slung over the trunk at the foot of her bed.

"I better take that with me, just in case I need it," said Twilight Sparkle, grabbing the hoodie off the trunk before making her way downstairs to the kitchen.

"Mornin' Twilight!" Spike said in between bites of his food.

"Hey, Spike," said Twilight Sparkle, her tail swishing behind her as she wrapped her wings around herself. "Do you notice anything, uh, different about me?"

Spike looked up from his food dish after taking another bite of his food. Swallowing, he sat down and examined Twilight's change of appearance. Spike saw that she now had wings, fangs, a tail, her skin was a different color, and so were her eyes. If he hadn't known it was Twilight, he might've been a bit fearful of getting close to her. All the features seemed to belong to Midnight Sparkle, but there was something off about them. If she was actually Midnight Sparkle, where was her glowing horn? Or the fiery flames that had replaced her glasses at the Friendship Games? Spike padded over to her and tilted his head to the side

"You look like Midnight Sparkle, yet, you don't at the same time," said Spike, scratching a small itch behind his ear.

"That's because I am, well, sort of," replied Twilight Sparkle as she grabbed a bowl and spoon, setting them down on the counter. She began her search for the cereal box. "My geode started the transformation, and because of the differences in circumstances, it altered my appearance and powers as well."

"Okay, where the heck is the cereal?" asked Twilight, giving up her futile search.

"Here you go, honey," said Mr. Light as he grabbed the cereal box from the back of a nearby cabinet and handed it to her.

"Thanks, Dad," Twilight Sparkle said, avoiding any eye contact with him as he sat down at the kitchen table.

Twilight Sparkle knew that her father wasn't entirely comfortable with her new appearance, despite her mother's attempts to ease him into it. She remembered coming home, and his shocked expression before he abruptly got up and refused to see her for the rest of the night. It hurt to see her father treat her like she was a reminder of something painful in his past that he didn't want to see anymore. After seeing that, it was hard for her to sleep, but she managed to fall asleep eventually. Only after she sobbed softly into her pillow, though, she understood his hesitation in trusting that she was still herself. Grabbing the cereal box, she poured the contents into her bowl. She set the cereal box down as Spike returned to his breakfast, leaving her to deal with the growing tension between her and her father.
