Persona Equestria Golden
Leaving Early
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe day could not get anymore interesting for you since you saved your two classmates from a runaway shadow. After your little revelation about shadows and persona they immediately wanted to know even more things about you. Your not sure if you want to tell them that you are from another world and how you entered there world through a large TV screen from Junes where Sunset Shimmer work at. So in the end you just told them that your parents travel a lot and you are now living here for a year. Hey, it's not a lie, nor is it the truth either.
After your explanation the two decided that school was the least of their problems and decided to give you the tour around town. You asked them that being late for class was not a good impression on the first day, but when Gilda replied she told him. "After what just happened, school is the least of our worries, so just shut it and get in the car." The three of you were now in the school parking lot with not a single person around except you, Lighting, and Gilda walking to her car. Every car had a bland or dulled color, but her car looked like she just bought it recently. Bright red car paint with a fire bird symbol on the hood of the car, no scratches or dents on it either, even the tires looked new making you wonder how she can afford such a car.
"This baby of mine is my pride and joy." Gilda told him and from the sound of her voice she means it.
"She treats it like her baby, it may look new but she had this all the way to middle school." Lighting dust informed you.
I want my car to always look the best, I mean look at these cars," She waved her hands around to emphasize how all the other cars looked either old or beaten with some having some parts almost falling to pieces. "I'm not just gonna let my car fall to pieces like their owners do, if I want to look badass my car has to look badass too."
A bit vain, but it does remind you of Yosuke and how he wanted to get a motorcycle thinking it would be easier to get girls. It really didn't help, but it did make travel easier for you and your friends to travel around town.
"Hey, new kid," Lighting interrupted your thoughts and looked at you with a serious expression etched in her face. Whatever is on her mind she wants to tell you now rather then later. "About those 'personas' do you think we can get one too?"
"Seriously? I mean yeah, it looks pretty badass to have something like that in the palm of your hands, but I don't want to deal with that shadow monsters." Gilda said.
You tell them that all humans posses the ability of persona and it varies on what that wielder perceives as their persona.
"Really!?" Lighting and Gilda said at the same time.
"So we do have persona, but we don't know how to use them?" Gilda asked you.
"Can we have multiple personas?" Lighting asked with even more excitement.
You shake your head at her answer and to show her why you lifted you hand and summoned your arcana, The Wild Card.
This was your arcana, the first card that saved you and your friends on the first encounter with shadows. You tell them that your arcana can be multiple personas meaning you wield a vast majority within you. People have the ability to have persona, but they can only have one persona.
"That's a bit over powered if you ask me and also a bit unfair." Gilda told you while unlocking her car. As she was inserting her keys you entered the back of her car and Lighting sat in the front seat. As the engine roared to life you looked to the school and wondered if you can just decline her offer and finish the rest of school, Then you remembered that you still need to go back home and immediately felt your head slam in the seat when Gilda hit the gas peddle and her zoomed out of the parking lot and in to the open road leading to Junes.
You asked her if she is just driving a little to fast.
"Fast? New kid you haven't seen how fast this baby can go." Using her right hand she changed gears and the car became twice as fast making you immediately reach for your seat belt. The drive to Junes was quick making you glad the ride was over, but you cant help but notice that no cop pulled Gilda over for her driving making you think that the place does not have a high crime rate.
"Here we are New kid, now lets get something to eat I'm craving something fierce." Gilda said while rubbing her stomach to show how hungry she is.
You wonder if Sunset and her friends are also here, but with how the time is still early in the afternoon you can assume they are still at their school. So the only thing you can do for now is spend some time with your new two friends you made today. As you spent time with Lighting and Gilda you cant help but see that the Junes in this world is the same Junes at Ponyville.
Now that you think about it, most of the buildings and places almost look identical to Ponyville only that they all are altered for modern buildings in the human world. After spending some time with Gilda and Lighting you were able to know a little about the. Gilda is the daughter of the police chief which make more sense with how we did not get caught with speeding and Lighting is the daughter of the new
mayor of this town making you immediately thinking about the murder in the pony world.
You should have guessed that if something happened in the pony world then that it would be the same in the shadow world. You were about to ask her more on what happened to the previous mayor before you heard a group of familiar voices coming from behind you.
Turning your head you spotted Sunset Shimmer with the rest of her friends. Your were about to call out her name before you were interrupted when both Gilda and Lighting dust stood up in their seats and gave them threatening glares.
"Well what do we have here, Rainbow crash and her lackeys, finally setting your standards even lower by working here?" Gilda spoke with enough venom in her voice that made even you notice the hostility between the two.
"I'm here to hang out with my friends, but apparently you don't know that." Rainbow dash said while her friends behind her backed her up by also glaring at Gilda and Lightning dust.
You can see there is some tension between these two and you were about to speak your mind before Pinkie somehow appeared behind you and wrapped her arms around you and gave you a hug.
"Hey, I can't believe we found you this quickly. We thought we had to find you at your school, but now that your here we can do all sorts of neat stuff!" Pinkie said while still hugging you.
"Hey, lay off our friend! You don't know him like that, right New kid?" Lighting spoke to you.
Again you were about to answer until the girl with the cowboy hat, Applejack if you remembered, cut you off.
"Just because ya'll are at the same school doesn't mean you and him are friends."
For awhile it has been constant stream of insults and shouting from the group of girls until just gave up and walked back to the electronics section of the store. The TV that you entered was at Sunset's school doesn't mean you can at least see if any other TV could lead you back home. You were glad that you did not tell Gilda or Lighting that you wanted to go to Sunset's school, apparently they had some bad blood between them before you arrived with how loud they are shouting at each other proved.
Each TV screen could lead to another part of your world. It was an inconvenience that the TV you entered was bought by those principle siblings. You were hoping that maybe another TV could lead back to Ponyville , or maybe it might lead you in another town miles away from where your home is. The thought of returning home is the on the top of your list of priorities, but also being in another place with no idea where you are is also on top of your list of what not to do when trying to traversing between worlds.
Your thinking was interrupted when you heard their arguing became louder and louder until you could practically hear it from behind your back. Turning your head you found out that they are behind you still shouting at each other.
"Why are you following us, go home already!" Gilda said to Rainbow dash.
"Why are you following us, we just want to talk to our friend is all." She replied with just the same amount of venom Gilda was giving her and her friends.
"Why do you need to talk to him for, he has a life that doesn't involve all of you." Gilda told her. When she was finally next to you she grabbed your arm and pulled you to her side.
"Come on new kid, we are leaving this place." Gilda was only able to take three steps before your opposite arm was grabbed by Rainbow dash with a determined look in her eyes.
"He is coming with us, without the two of you." She told Gilda and gave a forceful pull making you lurch to her side.
You are guessing the reason why is to tell you about the TV at her school and that he needs to be there, you also thought why she is being so forceful, but a swift tug from Gilda gave you that answer.
"We need him for some help, but we don't need you." Rainbow said with a growl.
"Oh I see, when your done needing his help you cut him loose right? Yeah that's some friendship right there." Gilda tried to tug on your arm to lead you away from the rest of the group, but the grip from Rainbow still stayed strong and clamped on your arm making you wince from the force she is putting.
"That's not like that!" Rainbow shouted and tightening her grasp on your arm.
Bothe girls kept pulling at your arms in opposite directions making you believe that they might tear two until you heard a familiar voice shouted behind Gilda.
"What is going on here?!" Button's mom screamed. Not Button's mom you know back in your world, but the human version standing in front of you wearing long black pants, a long sleeved button up white shirt, but the most important item on her is the gold badge pinned on her chest, oh and the gun holstered on her belt adds to your assumption that she works for the police.
"I got a call about a disturbance and what do I see? just some girls fighting over a boy, talk about cliché you girls need to think if he is worth it if you at doing something this stupid." She said to both Gilda and Rainbow still holding on to your arms.
Realizing what they were doing both girls let go of your arms making you glad that it was over, but now you need to deal with the officer standing in front of you and to make it even weirder is Button's mom in human form.
Her stare left you speechless and nervous a complete 180 turn on the motherly and caring nature she had when you first met her in Ponyville. Her stare stayed for a couple of seconds before she closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose before speaking again.
"Just leave this store and don't make this any more troublesome, especially you Gilda." She pointed her finger at her as a warning. "I won't tell your dad about this, so just leave and cool you head." After that she turned around and left your group with and awkward slice hanging in the air.
You were rubbing your arm from the intense tug of war before another set of arm grabbed you hand and dragged you away from Gilda and Lighting. Turning your head it was Sunset Shimmer pulling you to her group while everyone was distracted from the police officer telling them to leave Junes.
"We got him girls!" Sunset Shimmer said while still having a hold on you.
"Hey, what the hell are you doing!" Lighting was the first to respond to what was happening and was about to stop her until a cloud of smoke appeared out of know where making your vision limited to what's happening around you.
"I got them distracted!!" Pinkie Pie shouted.
"That's great darling, but now we can't see either!!" You heard Rarity's disembodied voice shout out.
You tried to walk out of the cloud of smoke with Sunset and trying to call her friend's names to follow, but before you could take a couple of steps you noticed a shadowed figure getting bigger and bigger. You tried to squint your eyes to get a better focus, but they soon widened when Applejack appeared out of the smoke and crashed head first into you. She must have followed Sunset's voice and ran towards which followed by her bumping in to you and making you loose balance.
You took five uneasy steps backwards before you turned you head to see what your going to bump in to. what was behind you was a large TV screen the same size as the first one you entered but the difference is the brand name saying 'crystal TV' on the bottom of the TV frame.
You tried to grab on to something but what your grabbed was Sunset Shimmer the only one that was close to you, instead of stopping your mid fall you dragged her in the TV screen with you.
"Not again!"
As you both descended inside the TV screen, your last thought was that you hope that this TV we lead you some where close to home.
[Your world]
"Ugh, my head. Hey! open your eyes you better see this." You opened your eyes to see Sunset in pony form with a worried look on her face looking down on you. You told her that you are fine and that made her smile that you are ok and gave you a helping hoof to get you off the cold floor.
You grabbed her hoof and thanked her for the help, after patting the dust from the floor off your clothes you took the sight to see where you are. You can already tell that this place is a bedroom, from the large bed with fancy bed sheets to the large window doors leading to a balcony. This place screamed royalty and you wondered if you are even remotely close to home.
"We should not be here, we need to leave now!" Sunset was already half way to the screen you two entered until you both froze when you heard multiple hoof steps getting louder and louder.
You quickly followed her to the TV and helped her enter the screen when you heard a door knob click and the large door open to saw a white unicorn next to a pink pony sporting both wings and a horn adding a tiara on top of her head made you instantly assume you just trespassed in their room.
"What the heck are you doing in our room!?" The male unicorn shouted. You looked to the screen to see Sunset already on the other side and was about to join her when the TV was engulfed in some blue light and was floating in the air making your exit unusable.
You soon realized that since you no longer have a means of escape you decided to face the problem head on and resolve this peacefully.
As you were about to tell them you side of the story you were hit by a blue bolt of magic straight to your face making you see stars before your eyes closed a second time today.
The only thing on your mind is how can you explain this when you get home and how mad Button's mom will be.
