>Damn it
>You chase after Starlight to the showers
>She's really running for it and you sincerely hope she doesn't slip and fall on the floor
>Once you turn a corner and enter the unisex shower room, you hesitate
>Maybe she needs some time alone?
>The last thing Starlight needs is some feelgood words from the very person who fucked the brains out of her underage adopted sister crush
>Well, you made it this far
>And you kind of smell like sauna sweat and girlcum, so...
>You step in, looking for Starlight
>She isn't too hard to find
>She's sitting in a corner with her legs pulled up to her chest, arms crossed and resting on her knees
>Her hair's drenched in hot water raining down from an old-fashioned shower head above 
>Man, she looks really sad
>She raises her head briefly and sees you, then goes back to burying her face in her arms
>You approach and sit next to her
>The hot water runs down your hair and between your breasts
"Hey"
>"I'm sorry about my outburst," Starlight says
>You gently pat her soaked hair and wrap your arm around her shoulder
"I'm sorry I slept with Luna. I had no idea"
>"No, really. Luna is an adult. If she finds you attractive, then--"
>Starlight's shoulders tremble as you hear her sobbing into her arms
>You sigh and drift your eyes to various fixtures around the shower room
>Starlight raises her head, sniffling and wiping tears from her eyes
"If you like Luna so much, then why didn't you just tell her? I mean, she seems to look up to you quite a lot"
>Starlight shakes her head
>"No, I can't do that. She's..."
>Starlight glances at you
>"I'm the reason why she was in TwiCorp's secret labs to begin with"
"What?"
>"The O.G. Twilight had a creepy obsession over the pony princesses," Starlight explains. "As soon as she discovered the sleeving technology, she got to work trying to find a way to safely duplicate a person's consciousness into multiple sleeves"
"Double sleeving," you mutter. "But everyone says that's a dead-end technology. Physically impossible, not to mention very illegal"
>"Not impossible, just incredibly difficult. In her words, Twilight wanted a copy of every princesses here in Earthquestria. For promoting friendship and harmony. She insisted she wanted a slice of the perfect utopian world she visited occasionally through the portal"
>Starlight smiles weakly
>"Personally, I think Twilight just wanted copies of them here to fool around with"
"That's seriously fucked up"
>Starlight nods
>"It goes deeper than that. I was given full access and directorship of all her double sleeving projects there. In exchange, I was to never set foot outside TwiCorp HQ again. In those cursed depths, I've... seen things. Awful things."
>Starlight leans her head on your shoulder
>You feel her dripping hair clinging to your skin
>"And that's where I found Luna. Codename Moon Child. She was a double sleeve of Princess Luna"
>You gasp
"No fucking way!"
>"Luna was very unstable when I took over the project. Her double-consciousness rejected the sleeve outright, going into hysterics and lashing out at the caretakers. It took months for me to finally get through, calm her down enough to hold a short conversation. We got really close. I was the only thing she could call a friend in that cold, clinical hellhole"
>Starlight's eyes well up in tears again
>"Luna really was like a little sister to me, even though she's nearly a thousand years older than me. I couldn't take it anymore. Her screams, wailing tears, brutal combat tests, medical examinations... It just broke my heart"
>You shudder, imagining that little girl's sleeve locked up in some fucked-up basement lab
>"One day, I just.. snapped. I rounded up some sympathetic lab assistants and helped her escape. I ran up and down the corridor, pulled all the fire alarms, shattered a guard's spleen with a fire extinguisher, and off she went"
>Starlight makes a flying bird gesture in the air
>"I was interrogated for nearly a week for my transgressions"
"I'm surprised Twilight didn't kill you outright. N-no offense"
>"Hah," Starlight snorts. "I suppose my work was too valuable."
"Did the ponies ever find out what you did with Luna?"
>"Oh, probably. Princess Luna would've had weird flashbacks to the human world, of her being tortured in a secret underground lab. The ponies never called us out loud about it, but it would explain why Princess Celestia decided to smash the portal to pieces and cut all ties with Earthquestria"
>You remember the headlines
>'Gateway to Heaven Closed Permanently'
>'Ponykind Rejects EqGkind'
>The months of wailing and depression over losing ties to a perfect, cartoony utopian world
>"When I heard the news, I panicked. I knew Luna would be waking up somewhere out there, her ties to her original consciousness severed and unable to remember a thing"
"So, that's when you decided to escape"
>Starlight nods

"Why did Twilight trust you with her double sleeving experiments, anyway? I know you're the clone of O.G. Starlight and all, but that doesn't seem like--"
>You feel Starlight's muscles tense up
>"How did you know that?"
>You gulp
"Um... P-Pinkie heard rumors about it. Just a hearsay y-you know? H-haha"
>Starlight eyes at you suspiciously, then goes back to resting her head on your shoulder
>"Yes, I am indeed the original clone. Not only that--"
>Starlight clenches at your arm, as though bringing back painful memories
>"I was the first successful double sleeving experiment conducted by O.G. Twilight"
>Her words hang heavy in the steamy air
"Holy shit"
>Your mind races back to what Slut Sunset had said
>'potentially be of use for our anti-sleeving efforts'
>Yeah, okay, fair enough
>A living, breathing example of a massive scandal would seriously help Church of Shimmer's mission
>Suddenly, Starlight's presence seems so alien to you, like she's somehow not human
>"For all her faults, Twilight is a very smart girl. She chose me in particular because 'it takes a double sleeve to know a double sleeve.' And she was right. I was frighteningly good at my job"
>You poke at Starlight's sideboob
>"H-hey!"
"Sorry! I just... Whew! I've never seen a double sleeve before"
>"I'm flesh and bones, just like you," Starlight meekly protests. "I am not some weird alien experiment. I have very human needs and desires"
"Okay, okay. Fair enough"
>You sit in silence for a few seconds
"So, a double sleeve, huh?"
>Starlight giggles
>"Yeah, it's crazy, I know"
"Does this mean you and... You know. The O.G. Starlight can read your thoughts?"
>Starlight shakes her head
>"I don't think so, or at least not anymore. I have flashes and memories of the first days of Glim-Tech when I-- when the other Starlight took over the company, but nothing beyond that."
"What if it's one-way? Like, O.G. Starlight can read your thoughts but you can't read hers?"
>"Then TwiCorp's goons would've found me by now. Glim-Tech and TwiCorp are practically one and the same with lots of information sharing between them. I saw plenty of Glim-Tech liaisons while working at the TwiCorp labs"
"Well, let's hope that's not the case"
>You get up and pull Starlight to her feet
"I still think you should tell Luna how you feel, despite all this double sleeving stuff"
>Starlight averts her eyes as your towel slides down from your left breast 
>"I-I can't. That'd be some sort of an abuse I think"
"How?"
>"Luna looks up to me! A bit too much actually, like I'm some sort of messianic hero! I can't possibly *ask* her to be my girlfriend because she'd never say 'no' to anything I ask from her!"
>Starlight pulls at her purple-and-teal hair
>"Agh!"
>Starlight turns to you and lets it all out
>"And I just... Sometimes I feel like she's my real sister and it feels *wrong* to want her. We're not even related, she's like a thousand years older than I am, so technically it should be HER who should feel like a creep, but then she remembers nothing about her Princess life, does she?? And sometimes -- I really shouldn't, but -- get a little turned on when she runs at me with those adorable eyes and kisses me in the lips and UNF!"
>You raise an eyebrow
>Princesses, is this what they mean when they say 'harboring perverted thoughts'?
"You could fuck her Nightmare Moon form? She doesn't look too young in that"
>"Then it just feels like I have the hots for my sexy older sister! There was this one time she rescued me from some pimps, and both of her BREASTS slipped out of that outfit--"
>Starlight keeps going on and on and on....
>You're taken aback, not sure what to do

>What now?

>It's just like your animes, Luna is OLD so it's not creepy! Bring that loli here and ask her to make Starlight really, really happy.
>Crank up the cold water and calm this idiot down. She's a leader of a movement, for princesses's sake! There's no time to groom little girls!
