“I lose again...oh well” Sunset Shimmer said looking down at her playing mat.

Sunset Shimmer was wearing her regular clothes. A purple t-shirt with a sun on it, with a black jacket over that and an orange skirt with a yellow and purple stripe.

“That Royal Paladin deck isn't working well for you, is it?” Sunset's friend said.

Sunset reached in to her bag and pulled out another deck “I feel as though this Gold Paladin deck might work better for me”

“Let's have a game later then? Class will start soon so we better get off.” Sunset's friend said.

She looked up “Okay, see you after class, Shadow Venture” Sunset got up and walked away with her cards and mat.

“Please just call me Venture” Venture fell back on the bench they were playing on. He thought to himself “I'm glad I found someone who is interested in Vanguard here”

Shadow Venture was blonde haired and had a dark purple skin tone. His hair was fairly long for a boy, it went down to just below his neck. He had green eyes, but it was a dark kind of green compared to most peoples. Venture was wearing blue jeans and was wearing a black jacket over his red t shirt. In the bottom left of his jacket, there was a red jewel there.

Venture lifted his lifted his deck over his face “Shadow Paladin, you never seem to let me down”
he smiled at his deck. He put his deck and playing mat in to his ebony backpack “Right, I'm in...that room” he said quietly to himself.

Sunset Shimmer was walking down the hallway thinking to herself “Royal paladin...Gold Paladin...I can't make up my mind, I don't want use Shadow Paladin like Venture” she scratched her head in thought, messing up her fiery coloured hair a little.

“Um...excuse me, do you know where the room E-6 is?” A voice said from behind Sunset.

Sunset looked down the way she came from not looking at the person “Oh, it should be back where I came from. It should be on the right, look for the sign” turned her head to the left to look at the person. Her jaw dropped as she looked at the person who was talking to her, with that hair she instantly recognized the person as Twilight Sparkle.

“Thank you and have a good day” the person hastily made her way down the corridor.

Sunset would not mistake that dark purple with two stripes, of a lighter purple, for anyone else but Twilight Sparkle. “But the portal is closed, how is she?...” she thought about for a little longer before being interrupted mid thought.

“Hey silly, what are you waiting around here for?” the very pink Pinkie Pie said.

Sunset had not noticed her coming and was shocked when she appeared “Ah! Oh, Pinkie, you made me jump” Sunset said with a bit of a flustered voice.

Pinkie Pie giggled “Oh sorry, Sunset. But we better be heading to class, Fluttershy and Rarity are already there”

Sunset nodded and started with Pinkie to class “Sorry about that, I had something on my mind...”

“Is it to do with that card game you have been playing with your friend?” Pinkie asked.

Sunset nodded a little “Well, that's part of it”

Pinkies's eyes widened “Oh. I see”

Sunset looked over to Pinkie, Pinkie gave her a wink “What are you winking?” Sunset inquired.

“Don't worry. I know what you mean” Pinkie said with a smile.

Sunset had a confused look on her face. She was about to question what Pinkie was talking about, but she then remembered that it is Pinkie.

“E-6, E-6. Ah, here.” Venture had found the classroom he was in now. It was an English classroom so it was fully of displays about old play writers and authors covering the pale blue walls.

Ventured entered the room and saw that only about half had arrived so far, the teacher had not arrived yet. Venture took his seat at the table in the right back corner of the room. No one sat next to him but he didn't mind, he liked to be left to himself in class.

In the next minute or two everyone else arrived and took their seats. The teacher entered the room, he was wearing a suit. He had green hair and orange skin.

“Hello, students. We have a new transfer student joining us today.” The teacher said.

The door opened and a girl with dark purple hair ,with two stripes that were a lighter purple to the rest of her hair, and purple skin walked in. She was wearing a purple skirt with a star shaped symbol in a dark pink on her skirt with smaller white stars around it. She was wearing a light blue short sleeved shirt with slightly puffed up shoulders.

“Hello everyone, my name is Twilight Sparkle” the girl said to the class and everyone said hello back.

“Now I hope you get on well with Twilight” the teacher announced “Twilight, take a seat next to Shadow Venture” he pointed to desk where Venture was sitting “In the corner there”

Twilight walked through the class to the desk Venture was sitting at “Hello” Twilight said.

“Hello” Venture replied “I assume you have transferred from a different school?”

“Yes, my family had to move because they got new jobs” Twilight said.

Venture smiled “Well I am sure you'll get on fine here”

The teacher, after giving a moment for Twilight and Venture to talk, began the lesson “Would you get out your copy of the book we were studying. Venture, would you share your copy with Twilight until I get another copy.” he commanded.

Venture nodded and look though his bag for the book “That's not it, that's not it.” He couldn't find it, so Venture started putting his stuff on the desk.

Venture put his Shadow Paladin deck on the desk “Is that a Vanguard deck?” Twilight asked.

“Um? Oh, yes it is.” Venture answered “Do you also play?”

Twilight pulled out a deck from her bag and looked at “I built a deck, but I didn't have anyone to play with. But I had it just case I found someone to play with” she looked to venture.

“That's fine after school I'll teach you. I am guessing we are in the same class most of the time so it should be easy to meet up”

Twilight nodded “Okay, it's a deal”

Venture got the book out of his bag and worked with Twilight for the lesson.

Sunset was sitting in her class thinking about seeing Twilight and why she was here now. “How is that she is here?” she thought to her self.

She was sitting with Fluttershy, Rarity and Pinkie. But, for the moment, she wasn't paying much attention to them. She was just lost in thought about seeing Twilight.

“Don't you agree Sunset?” Rairty asked tapping her on the shoulder.

Sunset came back to reality “Uh, yes I do” Sunset stuttering a little.

“Sunset, what's on your mind?” Rarity asked “You weren't listening because we weren't talking about anything.”

Sunset's face was a little shocked but then went to a kind of submissive face “It's just that I saw Twilight Sparkle today and it's been bothering me”

“Twilight? But I thought she went back to her world though the portal?” Fluttershy pointed out.

“Yes, dear. Maybe you saw someone who looked like her?” Rarity added.

Pinkie Pie butted in “Hey, hey. Maybe it's the Twilight in this world? I mean, I did see her once before...I think” Pinkie put her hand on her chin thinking.

Sunset thought for a moment, surprisingly, Pinkie Pie's idea made a lot of sense in her head. “Maybe Pinkie's Right. I mean, their seems to be an equivalent of everyone in my original world”

Fluttershy and Rarity looked at each other and almost in sync said “Perhaps”

Sunset giggled to herself. She thought to herself “It's going to weird getting used to another Twilight”

It was the end of the day, Rainbow Dash and Applejack had met up with Sunset and the other, Sunset and the others were walking out of school “Well, I am going to meet up with Venture. See you girls tomorrow”

The others were about to wave goodbye to Sunset when they saw what was happening in front of the school statue.

“Um, what's wrong?” Sunset inquired.

The others pointed behind Sunset.

She turned around to see Twilight and venture stood around a table in front of the school statue. From what she could see they were playing Vanguard. “Does she play?”

Then Venture and Twilight said in sync “Stand up, Vanguard!”
