The big switch

The princess?!?!

((Twilight's P.O.V))

When I got to the castle, I was suprised that there weren't any guards at the entrance, so I just letted myself in. I went directly to the throne room but there weren't guards nor princesses in there. I was freaking out, but I went to investigate at Celestia's chamber. Outside, there were a couple of tired guards, with half-closed eyes

'Umm, excuse me? Do you know where the princesses are?' I asked with the most polite voice I could.

'Sure, inside, but they aren't in a very good mood and haven't slept in days, neither have us'

'You go rest, I'll check on the princesses' I said as they dashed off 'Odd'

I opened the door to the chamber and the princesses were in bed, sleeping, so I decided to let them sleep. Spike was asleep in my back and he was snoring quietly. I softly tucked him in a dog bed that Celestia had for her pet phoenix. The orb I had as a necklace, was still glowing a light pink and a dark blue and it was glowing more as I got near the princesses and less as I got back. I realized the colors represented the princesses and the other purple half represented.... ME?!?!

The princesses woke up 5 minutes later and they didn't seem themselves. Celestia was staring at my necklace and Luna.... Well she was just weird.

'Are you ok? Is something wrong?' I wanted to ask them if they knew something about my orb but they seemed tired and stressed that I didn't even bother to ask

'T-That orb you have, i-it's making us weak' Celestia said

'But how? The guards say you hadn't slept in days, I just came half hour ago?' It sounded more like a question than a statment but it didn't matter

'Your friend, Fluttershy, found it a week before she gave it to you and it has been weakening us and the guards, as well' Luna said weakly 'Nopony has the energy to stop it'

Suddenly, the orb seemed mad as it's plans had been discovered, it started glowing like crazy the colors I mentioned earlier, purple, light pink and dark blue and we couldn't see a thing. I heard a loud "thump" and the glowing stopped. I was laying in the floor and like Celestia said, I didn't have the energy to get up, so I just drifted to sleep....
