Nightmare was resting, half asleep next to her Little Star.
Hello, Nightmare. A sweet voice entered her mind.
Where have you been? Nightmare responded.
Keeping Twilight company. Her fragment answered, letting out a happy giggle. It seemed out of place coming from her fragment. Twilight’s Friends are gathering in the map room. It continued.
How did you find that out my Fragment?
My name is Sweet Dreams now, and I did not, Twilight did.
Interesting, I assume this means you are not returning to me? Nightmare asked cautiously.
No, I am my own mare now. Dream’s asserted.
Nightmare let her mental tone darken. Very well, you do know what will happen if you cross me?
Are you going to harm Twilight? Dream’s snapped in response.
Why would I? Nightmare asked in mild puzzlement.
Then we are good. Dreams’ said before sounding like she was purring. Mmm, keep doing that…
Keep doing what? Nightmare asked, annoyed.
Sorry, Twilight is distracting me again. Dreams said unabashed.
What?
Dreams giggled again. You don't know what you are missing… Twilight has a request. She would like to see her friends.
Does she know who I am? Nightmare could feel an edge of trepidation enter her mind.
She figured it out, kind of hard not to when there is a whole wing in here dedicated to you.
Unexpected. Nightmare stated.
Play nice with her, she has access to all your spells, all your knowledge in here. Dreams’ teasing response carried and undercurrent of warning.
Nightmare paled, that was not something she wanted to deal with. So finally, I find the disadvantage of a willing host.
Whimsically, with a mental voice laced with seductive charm, Dreams commented. Oh, I don’t know Night, she is very grateful to you.
Your doing?
Oh, yes, and you're welcome. Dream’s answered happily before her voice became dark and threatening. Just remember, Twilight is mine, you do anything to hurt her and you won't live to regret it.
“Don't make fragments in haste, when in distress or when drunk.” Nightmare muttered to herself aloud. It was one of Celestia’s lessons that she failed to drum into Luna hard enough. Three simple rules and she broke two of them in creating Sweet Dreams. She would have to live with the consequences.
Nightmare took a steadying breath before reaching for Twilight. All three mares found themselves standing on an obsidian floor under a cloudy sky. Dreams standing taller than the other two
“Nightmare,” Twilight said with far more warmth than Nightmare was expecting.
“Twilight,” She responded civilly. After all, there was no point in antagonising her host. “Do I have your word that you will not try and take control of our body?”
Twilight reached up to her neck the image of an ebon collar briefly flickering into existence.“I Twilight Sparkle...” Twilight corrected herself. “I who think of myself as Twilight Sparkle do hereby pledge not to attempt to regain control of this body today so long as Nightmare does not harm anypony other than in self-defence.”
Nightmare tilted her head. “Strange wording... but I accept. I will not deny you the chance to see your friends,” She could feel her control strengthen, there would be no way Twilight would be able even to attempt to take control today.
The collar, visible once more, was joined by shackles attached to her legs. Despite this, Twilight smiled. “Thank you.”
“You are welcome, my host.” Nightmare responded civilly.
“I have a name, you know.” Twilight snarked.
“One that I have to get used to using.” Nightmare said in a calm tone.
Next to Nightmare’s physical body, Little Star yawned and rolled over, still sound asleep. Nightmare shifted some of her attention to the outside world. She smiled warmly and draped a wing over her.
“Who is your friend?” Twilight gestured with her horn at the ground.
Nightmare refocused to the mindscape. Following Twilight’s gaze, she saw that visible under the floor was the real world. “She is my Little Star,” Nightmare said with affection.
Twilight blushed as Dreams fell over laughing. Nightmare was just glad they were in her mental space and could not wake her Little Star no matter how loud they were.
“Something I should know about?” Nightmare asked with a raised eyebrow.
“That is what she has been calling me,” Twilight said, looking at Dreams.
“This is hilarious, you call your daughter what I call my lover,” Dreams said through her laughter.
“What! Daughter?” Both Twilight and Nightmare said simultaneously.
“When an Alicorn and a Nightmare get together, magic happens, and a new pony is made… What else would you call her?”
“But…” Twilight stammered
“You… no… I don’t think I mind that,” Nightmare said, her physical body leaning down to nuzzle Star.
Twilight smiled warmly as she looked at Nightmare. “You really do care for her, don't you?”
“Yes… she looked up to me. She wanted to be in my company. I was her Princess, and she was just overjoyed just being with me.” Nightmare hoped her voice did not sound as bashful as she felt in that instance.
“The fact she is just so adorable does not hurt, does it?” Dreams added.
Nightmare nodded. “That too, she saved us, you know?”
“Really?” Dreams said, turning her attention to the little unicorn.
Nightmare smiled with pride. “Yes, when I was battling with the dark mages who had us captive , something happened that rendered me helpless. My brave Little Star defended us and managed to teleport us halfway across Equestria.”
“She definitely takes after her mother and father.” Dreams said.
“Who is who?” Twilight asked.
“Well, the Nightmare did enter you, so I guess that means she is the Father,” Dreams laughed.
“Shall we agree that both of us are her mothers?” Nightmare asked.
Twilight nodded. “I don't want to have to add gender issues to all the other identity issues I am dealing with right now, thank you very much.”
“You know she has a wing in Twilight’s Bastion.” Dreams stated.
“I first figured she was merely part of your insanity manifested with my powers.” Nightmare said nodding to Twilight.
“Is it possible another one of my… family survived?” Twilight asked, looking at Dreams.
Dreams shook her head, “I’m sorry, no not in the way you are hoping.” Dream moved to Twilight, pulling her into a hug, “It will be ok, my Star.”
Twilight leant against Dreams and closed her eyes. “Even though I never met her, it still hurts just knowing what my life cost her.”
“She lives on in your kind heart and sense of wonder.” Dreams said comfortingly.
Nightmare watched, unsure what to make of the exchange. As far as she knew all of Twilight’s family was currently safe. Some in Canterlot, the rest in the Empire.
“You know, Rarity is going to be so mad at us… you did not even take me on a date, and here we are with a filly.” Twilight said, laughing.
“You can’t have her.” Dreams pulled Twilight close and stuck her tongue out at Nightmare.
Twilight’s eyes seem to flicker with flames. “What, can I not have my own harem of sexy mares?”
Nightmare felt her cheeks warm just a little. She cleared her throat. “Shall we be going and see our friends now?” Nightmare shifted most of her attention to the real world and tucked Little Star in under a blanket. She placed a motherly kiss below her horn before heading out.
Nightmare placed her hoof on the wall and mentaly asked the Crystal Tree to take her to just outside the map room. Doing this still felt odd. She could tell that the only reason the Tree was helping, was that Star had asked it to. The Tree seemed to be buzzing with a mix of hope and fear, both firmly directed at herself.
No flash, not even a sense of motion, they had just moved location in less than a blink of an eye. Since when has my Castle been able to do that? Twilight’s thoughts asked.
How would I know? With things like this, I would assume since it was first created. Nightmare responded.
Nightmare knew that Twilight’s friends were on the other side of the doors, and with Celestia in town, she would need to talk to them as soon as possible. She needed them on her side if her plans had any chance of working.
Taking a deep breath, she placed her hooves on the doors and pushed them open. All of the Elements were there sat around the table, each killing time in their own way.
“Girls,” Nightmare said, letting Twilight’s relief into her tone. She could feel her host’s joy radiating from the mindscape.
Five pairs of eyes turned to face her. Their relief and happiness were so powerful it was almost a physical force.
“Twilight!” Pinkie called moments before colliding with her like a meteor.
Nightmare crashed into the ground groaning. Just when I thought I might be free of pain. “Hi Pinkie… next time can you avoid my burns please.”
“Why have you been hiding from us Twi?” Rainbow demanded while hovering above her.
“Hiding? If only.” Nightmare laughed. “This is the first day I have been able to walk enough to come and find you.”
“Oh my.” Fluttershy rushed over, pushing the other two aside. Flitting from one bandaged wound to another checking each as her concern grow.
Nightmare slowly pulled herself to her hooves. She pointed at each wound one by one. “Magical fire, surgical blades, stabbed by a unicorn's horn and finally overtaxed my own horn.”
Rainbow seemed impressed, like she was trying to imagine what epic adventure they were from. Rarity looked appalled, most likely from how unladylike Nightmare’s appearance was. Applejack was just watching. Probably looking for any lies I might tell. Nightmare thought. Pinkie was just happy, and Fluttershy held nothing but tender care in her teary eyes.
So far, so good. Nightmare thought before speaking. “Don’t worry, girls I will be fine, only a few more days to fully heal.” She smiled. “The important thing is that I’m back.”
“You know what this calls for?” Pinkie said, bouncing happily.
“A par…”
A flash of golden light interrupted the conversation. Suddenly Celestia was standing there in all her glory but none of her regalia. She was only wearing saddlebags and a sheathed blade. She looked around the room, and her eyes fixed on Nightmare.
“Twilight?” Celestia's voice was full of hope.
This is too soon. Nightmare worried. This was not a meeting she wanted now. She was in no shape for it, and if Celestia even got a hint that she was not Twilight, then she was done for. “Prin… Celestia.”
“I am so glad to see you safe, if unfortunately not unharmed,” Celestia said as her horn lit as she lifted a scroll from her saddlebags.
Something drew her attention to Celestia’s horn. There a wrongness with how it was glowing. It was subtle, but it was there. A spike of alarmed recognition came from Twilight.
No, no, not again. Twilight’s thought of panic drowning under her building anger. Possible countermeasures flooded Nightmares mind. Twilight reached into their wellspring, clearly going to cast something.
Nightmare mentaly reached for chains binding her. Trust her. Dream's whispered in her mind. Nightmare hesitated, that was all the time Twilight needed.
Shimmering magenta Cyrstal manifested over Nightmare's body. She could feel Twilight's plan, now no spell could reach her until the armour was compromised.
Twilight's rage was burning within her. She was furious and if she had control of the body likely would have attacked Celestia. Probably with her own hooves with how mindless the betrayal driven anger felt. That would not have ended well, not in their current state. Calm yourself Twilight. Nightmare thought.
She could sense Dreams taking action, lovingly holding Twilight whispering sweet nothings trying to calm her. A slight pang of jealousy floated through Nightmare’s mind before she banished it.
She did not know exactly what Celestia was going to do. The fact that at least half of the countermeasures Twilight offered were to stop mental domination and memory removal spells gave her a pretty good idea.
Nopony had done anything in the time Nightmare was thinking. Celestia seemed unsure; she was on the backhoof. If I give her a chance to plan, she will have the advantage. Nightmare decided to be bold.
"You will not use more Mind magic on me," She bellowed with the Royal Canterlot Voice, flaring her wings and jutting her chest out aggressively.
The force knocked everypony except Celestia back. Everypony was stunned, nopony, not even Celestia had expected her outburst.
"What in tarnation are you talking about, sugercube?" Applejack broke the stunned silence looking at Nightmare.
Nightmare tried to work out what to say, thankfully Twilight’s various countermeasures provided all the information she needed. Pointing at Celestia's horn, she growled. "So Celestia, why are at least half the spell forms in your horn to do with mind control and memory alterations?"
Rarity’s eyes widened, clearly, she was the only one that truly understood the implications of the concealed spell work. The mention of mind control was more than enough to provoke the others.
"What the hay?" Rainbow blurted out. "We just get Twilight back, and you're going to zap her in the brain?"
“Don’t be silly that’s Dizz’s trick, you need your own Princess.” Pinkie unhelpfully added.
Twilight’s mental presence faded replaced with the sound of multiple quills frantically writing. What is she doing now? Nightmare thought.
I think she is trying to send a message to her friends. Doing what she can to get them on our side. Dreams answered.
One by one the elements bearers took their places beside Nightmare, ready to protect their ‘friend’ from Celestia.
For a moment, Celestia's mask slipped before returning to the warm, caring smile. "One of the possibilities I was worried about was that Twilight was affected by dark magic. I was only ready in case somepony had compelled her to attack us, or worse."
"She ain't lying Twilight," Applejack said.
"Forgive me for being a little on edge, with everything that happened; it is hard even to be sure any of this is real." Nightmare returned to a neutral stance.
"Err… Twilight if you don’t mind telling us. What did you mean by more mind magic?" Fluttershy's voice was so quiet but caught everyone's attention.
Nightmare nervously looked to Celestia. "I am not sure I should tell you, I don't think you want to know," she said to Twilight's friends. Nightmare was frantically trying to work out what to say. Twilight would be no help, she was still off in her own world, writing to her friends.
“Honesty is the best policy. You know that, Twilight.” Applejack said, placing her hoof on Nightmares shoulder. In a soft whisper, she continued to Nightmare alone. “We are here for you.”
Oh, please allow me. Dreams requested, her mental voice dripping with venom.
With no better option at hoof Nightmare mentally took a step back to let Dreams have control for a time. You better know what you are doing.
Dream’s nodded to Applejack in thanks. “Girls, you never met the original Twilight, she died long before I came to Ponyville.”
Every set of eyes were now solidly fixed on Dreams. Celestia seemed to have frozen, even her mane stilled.
What? Nightmare thought.
Later. Dreams responded.
Dream pointed a hoof at Celestia. “You murdered Twilight's children and used the remains to craft your own patchwork filly. Your own perfect tool just to save your sister.”
Horrified looks now spread around four of the bearers faces. Rainbow’s was shifting to anger, the gears slowly turning behind her eyes as she was trying to work out who to aim it at.
“Children.” Escaped Fluttershy's lips in a horrified whimper.
On hearing Fluttershy, Rainbow turned her gaze on Celestia.
Nightmare felt her hoof slam into the crystal floor as Dreams advanced a single step towards Celestia. “What did you think would happen when I found my Library? What did you think would happen when I had a chance to see the aftermath of your magic, of what you did to the original Twilight?”
Not pausing to let Celestia get a word in, she continued her verbal assault. “Those chains are sharp, they hurt, but you would not know that, would you? You are the only Alicorn that is free of them, right?” Motes of flames danced along her mane as her eyes glared at Celestia, daring her to deny it.
“It was the only way to save Twilight…”
“Save her? Save her! She was already gone! All you did was kill her children to make a copy,” Dreams screamed, trembling as arks of rage-filled lightning danced over her feathers.
Nightmare noted the others were rooted in place; clearly, the shock of what they had just found out and the Alicorn magic flooding the room was getting to them.
“They all would have died in days!” Celestia shouted back. “It was the only way to save anything, to save anypony, to save you from that disaster.” She ended in a solemn whisper, tears shimmering in her eyes.
“How can I trust you are even telling the truth?” Dream asked. “YOU, MESSED, WITH, MY, MIND!” She advanced one step with each word. Her thundering hoof falls cracking the floor.
Nightmare did not know who was more stunned, herself, Celestia or Twilight’s friends. She could see the pain in Celestia’s eyes, a deep hurt that would take a long time to heal. Good. She thought to herself.
The two Alicorns now stood still, looking at each other.
“Is that how you feel, my…” Celestia started.
“Don’t you dare!” Dreams snapped back.
“Twilight…” Celestia pleaded.
Dreams cut her off with another stomp of her hoof. “You say being a Princess requires making the hard choices, you’re right. The thing you have to remember is that each choice has consequences. I am yet to make my mind up what they should be for you.”
A shocked expression flashed in Celestia’s eyes, “What…”
“Don’t worry ‘Princess’.” She said the title as if it was a curse. “I will still play my part. I will protect Equestria, my ponies, and my friends.” Dreams turned her back on Celestia, letting all of her displays of power fade. She walked away limping, the strain of Twilights injured body catching up with all the activity. “Please leave.” Dream finished in a weak dejected tone.
Celestia mouth hug open, she was stunned into inaction. A moment later and in a flash of magic, she was gone.
Dreams slumped to the ground crying. Twilight friends broke free from their shock and rushed her. Within moments, she was the centre of a pony pile, enjoying the warmth of a group hug.
That was masterful, well played Sweet Dreams. Nightmare thought.
That was not just a performance. It was the truth. Dreams responded bitterly. Please let Twilight feel this.
As you wish. Nightmare pulled on Twilight’s chain dragging her away from whatever she was doing, Placing her in partial control of her body. For the duration of this hug, I release you from today’s agreement.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Twilight thought at Nightmare.
Tears of joy fell from her eyes.“I love you all,” Twilight spoke from her own mouth for the first time in days as she returned the hug.
In Nightmare’s mindscape, Dreams draped a wing over her. Thank you.
Ooh, Celestia you fucked up. If your intentions were as pure as you claim you should have left some manner of proof of such in the spellwork. Something that couldn't be contested by the counter claim of mental manipulation. All you've done is incriminate yourself, and made it that much easier for Twilight to turn her back on you.
The Schadenfreude, it is sweet.
9882910
... means I Don’t know how to respond.
It’s probably best to avoid acronyms for the most part. It took me a second to figure out what RCV is, and would probably some take other people even longer. It kinda broke the flow of the scene.
9883019
Fixed, Thank you for the advice.
9883019
Really? I understood what it meant the moment I saw it.
I think it's just you.
will Luna, Cadence and Shining have heard Twilight's scream and appear in the next chapter?
9883065
You missed spelled friend
Keeping Twilight company. Her fragment answered, letting out a happy giggle. It seemed out of place from her fragment. Twilight’s Freinds are gathering in the map room. It continued.
9883150
Thank you.
9883159
Np
Well well, quite the interesting counter-claim there. Finally we get a little glimpse into Celestia's thoughts and motivations from her side. It does fit as possible given what we/Twilight know, as we only had the moment Celestia attacked the aspects, not any knowledge of what the situation was surrounding that moment. Not to say that it's the whole truth though, it's still just another piece. I do so love seeing little pieces of the whole come together like this, it allows for so many theories during the wait.
My cup overfloweth with good, high quality content. Your conversation sections are particularly good and powerful. Keep it up!
Y’all ever get so shocked that you forget to write comments? I nearly almost passed on in shock! What a thrilling chapter and what an excellent, bombastic ending! I can... actually wait. Greatness isn’t forged on a tight schedule, and this is a masterpiece. Keep up the good work! Onwards!
It's... perfect!
9882581
Oh I knew they were lethal, I was just saying they could be made non-lethal.
So.....I completely forgot to write a comment of any sort on any chapter, but man.....this is great work.
I don't think I've ever seen Nightmare Moon used so.....well, I suppose is the word for it, most stories I read with her in them (I will name none) aren't very well written in my personal opinion, or they use the exact same concept for her.
So I give this story a 5/5.
I love the direction you are taking these characters. I don't think I have read anything that uses them like this. Can't wait to see Nightmare explain the "children". Maybe Dreams should do that as well with her puppet show, it really made the story easy to understand and sympathize with.
Hhmmmm. I'm not sure weather or not to believe celestia. She's definitely earned her right to a fair trial to explain herself, but the odds aren't in her favor. Luna got some punishment in with Mr. Smashy, but that doesn't help twilight.
I look forward to seeing how twi explains the "children" to her friends, and if celestia elaborates on how they would have died. But I think it would be better for Luna to do it so it's a more neutral 3rd party that won't be compelled to save her sister's ass.
This matter is most complicated. Who is right and who is wrong. Time will hopefully tell.
I still don’t think Celestia is evil per se. Alicorns in this story are extremely powerful and intelligent on standard, and Cely has spent the most time practicing her abilities, diplomacy, making and executing plans etc.
she still has compassion and emotions (towards Twily, Luna, Cadence and others) but she always keeps her plans for the greater good in mind.
If NMM/Twilight fight her, the best strategy would be a war of (magic) attrition, making powerful attacks on a regular basis to drain her supply. Twilight could regain her own magic way faster then her opponent, with a good hiding place and enough time she could force Cely to spent most of her enormous stockpile until she can be taken out.
Wonder how things will develop from here...
If the story we heard about the 'trial of thorns' (with the toys) is true. Then no matter what way Celestia tries to spin things, she murdered the original Twilight.
She took someone who was able to achieve the impossible and gave them an impossible task. When the task was complete, she killed them, took the parts she wanted, and made a new person. Even if they would have died (we know that's not true since 2 are still around) then she is still the one who started everything that caused it.
I love this, it's way better then just an evil Celestia, this Celestia is perhaps misguided, but honestly thinks she is doing what is best.
As they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Interesting, it would seem that Celestia has been caught flat-hoofed with what could be the worst scandal she's ever faced (when either the Elements or the Nightmare herself get word out, that is.) I look forward to seeing Celestia's pov later.
9883438
Thank you very much, that means a lot coming from you. Dreams' rant at Celestia was something I knew I had to get right and by the sounds of it, I did. I will do my best to keep the quality up.
9886063
Yes you did, That was very well written, and if what Celestia said is true, then we have a situation where both sides are right in a way, which is realistic and makes for good writing and conflict. Actions such as this are never Black and white, and using the grey area to full effect makes the story much more enjoyable.
9885367
Just something to think on. Shining Armour told Luna that is one of Twilight's Teachers that gave her the impossible task.
From CH 7 Discoveries at the Temple
MMMmmm, sweet karma.
All this talk about "original Twilight" just makes me think how much fun lawyers will have on brain uploads in the future.
Celestia says she did it to revive Twilight. But this is the same mare that gave her an alicorn-level spell that would kill her in the first place and expected her not to cast it. She gave a child a gun with the safety on and then was surprised when the child turned off the safety and shot itself. Celestia is also the same pony who wiped Twilight's memory of blood magic not because Twilight was evil afterwards or because knowing it was wrong, but because Celestia decided that the literal nicest, most pure-hearted filly ever was somehow damaged if she knew that branch of magic.
9993520
Celestia gave her the (metaphorical) gun? When was it established that Celestia left that book where Twilight could read it? No, this is more like Celestia had an arsenal and one of the ponies responsible for maintaining it violated procedure and took one of the weapons outside the facility.
Ultimately, Celestia is responsible for the archivists whose negligence (or possibly deliberate sabotage) caused the book to be misplaced and the resulting death of the original Twilight, and she is also responsible for the continued existence of the book, and you can argue that she should have had the book destroyed*, but unless and until it is established that Celestia personally or deliberately left Twilight that book, it is a lot more complicated than "Celestia gave her a gun and she shot herself".
*I remember the early-2000s Anthrax Attacks, which involved US-manufactured weapons-grade anthrax powder that was supposed to be used to test the design performance of defensive equipment (or some similar defensive use); there was a serious debate about whether America should be making any weapons-grade anthrax.
EDITED TO ADD:
In fact, in Chapter 21, it is explicitly stated that, barring minor details, my envisioned scenario is exactly what happened:
I was about to quit cause this turned from something that keeps me hooked and muh edge to just horny royalty
The zig zag between things I actually care about and hornyness that I don't care about was pushing things but the verbal beatdown to scheming!Celestia shall keep me reading for a little more
So things are not so simple, this is good.
All of the stuff about the Fragments of Twilight and Nightmare interacting is difficult to read. Half of Nightmare Moon threatening the other half of Nightmare Moon about letting that half of Nightmare moon have Twilight as a girlfriend, while the first half lets the second half have a chunk of Twilight as a daughter-figure.
I can understand it decently enough, but all of the intrigue and alliances between the various pieces of these two ponies is pretty frustrating to read.
10686798
Yeah, it's kind of hard to keep track of who is who.
Took me a while to get it in order, but from what I can gather so far there are four inside Twilight, one as Nightmare and another one as the child-light in physical form outside of Twilight. Grey, Nova, Twilight, Sweet Dreams (who is only half Twilight), the Nightmare who lives a layer up in her actual mind and not her bastion, and the child-light who is in physical form in the Everfree.
anyone else feel like clocking celestia in the jaw for what she did to twilight?
10910605
In a way luna beat you to the punch
As far as I know, the whole "children" thingwasan honest mistake, though it should never have happened in the first place. The only excuse Celestia could really play here is that Twilightwasn't supposed to succeed, and every theory on magic they hadsaid so. I'm sure she thought it was safe, because failure to cast it didn't have any penalties - but that doesn't excuse her not planning for the "what if" of Spike's Egg all over again...Right, I completely forgot... That one Celestia isn't even on the hook for in the first place.Everything else Celestia is on the hook for, as straight as it gets. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one." I get it, and that's not my point. Celestia is fully in her right to make those judgements (however you'd like to counter, she is the single ruler with all the responsibility - or, was, anyway). My problem rather lies in the fact that Twilight wasn't given a choice (or at least that's how it's being played right now).
Ok, going by Dreams, and Nightmare's talk about fragments, I think I can hypothesize some of Celestia's point of view. Twilight figured out how to make fragments, without knowing the dangers, and basically fragmented her mind into several new ones based on parts of her personality.
Thinking that there wasn't enough of a mind left in the fragments and that they might individually burn out, she panicked, killed the fragments and did her best to reconstruct the original from what was left. However Gray and Nova's persistence means she was probably wrong about the fragments burning out, and of course keeping all this from her doesn't exactly look good whatever her intentions.
10686798
Maybe for you, but I enjoy it.
