(The girl has a right to be curious, especially considering the Twilight she knows: a more royal, more winged pony than the unicorn standing before her. It's certainly awkward, but nothing Twilight hasn't already experienced.)

Not...exactly. I'm an alternate Twilight, one who knows that other Twilights ascend to alicornhood, but can't ascend herself...or at the very least, hasn't reached that point in her life yet. It's complicated.
