“So, let me get this straight. You went to Junes to get a TV, saw this mare working at Junes, found out that she is your pen-pal, and when you were about to greet she slipped and fell on top of you.” Button’s mom said to you.

For the past hour she has asked you why you were not at school making you tell her what happened. You made sure to not tell her the full detail about why you went to Junes, but that info is best kept in secret.

Yes

*Sigh* “I’m glad that you found your friend in person, but if you wanted a TV for your room you could’ve just told me. I have a spare TV from a garage sale a couple of days ago you can use that.” She told you.

Thank you

Exiting out of the kitchen you found Sunset using her magic to levitate the TV remote and began to start channel surfing to find what’s good on.

Sorry I took so long.

“It’s ok; I just wish that this world has better things to watch then my world.” She said glumly as she was watching a mare and another mare fighting for a young human high school student.

I lied to her about what happened, but I am not sure if I can ask if she can make room for you to stay here.

“Don’t worry about it, as soon as I go back to Junes I am sure my friends will be worried about what happened.”

Turning off the TV, Sunset looked back at you.

“The problem right now is how I should sneak back in. I don’t want to be spotted by anypony I know; I don’t want too much attention.”

Can’t you teleport there?

“Didn’t you hear me? Even if I teleport inside the store there is a chance I might find Twilight and her friends there. And if I teleport inside the store, I’m also sure the alarms inside will also get me caught if I teleport when its closed”

As soon as she was done telling you her problem, Button’s mom appeared in the living room.

“Alright, I set it up. You can check it back in your room. I’m going to go make some food; I’ll call you and button when I’m done.” She turned to Sunset shimmer.

“Are you staying as well?” She asked Sunset.

“Sure, I would really like that.” Shimmer told her happily.

“Excellent! I will be calling you all later. You can also try the TV in your room if it is working.” Button’s mom told you.

I will do that. Come on, Sunset shimmer.

“Alright, I’m coming.” Getting up on her fours she walked along side you to your room when Button’s mom called you out.

“And make sure you leave your door open, I want you to hear me when I tell you it’s time to eat.”

You gave her a nod and returned to walking to your room.

“Guess she doesn’t trust me to be alone with you, can’t blame her, since it’s weird to see a relative lead a stranger in their room.”

Reaching the door knob to your room you opened it, let Shimmer inside, and slightly closed just like Button’s mom told you. Looking at the TV you can see that it is twice as big as the TV you used in Inaba, but was still not big enough for a human to fit.

“Nice room you got. Still wish it was bigger.” She told you.

Looking back at her and the TV, since you can’t fit in your TV it still doesn’t apply to Shimmer because you know that she is a pony then it will be way easier for her to enter.

Picking her up, you plunged her head first into the TV and saw her pass through the screen. Taking her back out from the TV you put her down on the floor and asked her if she is alright.

“I’m fine….. Actually, do you mind if kneel down so I can tell you more?”

Kneeling down to hear what she was about to say she swung her left hoof and struck your left cheek.

“Next time, tell me you were going to do that!” She told you loudly.

Sorry, I just wanted to check if it worked. But I need to know if you saw anything on the other side.

“Yeah, I was back at home, but it was at a different location.”

I remember a friend told me when I was still at earth that different TVs won’t send you to the same place you’re entered, so even if it is back at your home world it will still send you some where you still don’t know.

“Well, either way, I think a nice meal will help relax both of us.” She told you.

As soon as she said that you heard Button’s mom call us to the kitchen table to set it up for eating.

“Nice! Let’s go, I am starving.” Running out of your room you looked at your clock to see it is close to nine. When dinner is done and everyone is asleep, you will need to check the midnight channel if something important might happen.

[Midnight]

“Can I ask why you wanted me in your room?” Sunset shimmer asked you.

We need to know who will be the next victim.

“If the victims of all those murders were all male, then it is another possibility the next one should be the same.”

You fall into silence as your clock reached midnight. Pressing the power button the TV’s screen showed only blurred images of a figure you can’t quite focus on. You can at least see this mystery person’s movement as the figure twirls and jumps at a random pace before the TV shuts off.

“That just leaves more questions! How can that help us, it all looked so random?”

It’s the only thing we have as a lead. I can try to check again tomorrow, but the dead line is usually at the end of the month.

“So, let me get this straight, we only have just a couple of weeks to find the next possible victim?”

Yes.

“Then we can start tomorrow, I don’t feel like doing anything but falling asleep on the living room couch.”

With a quick “Goodnight.”, Sunset left you in your room. Taking that as your turn to sleep, you went to bed to get ready for tomorrow.

[Unknown]

“Hey, bro, you still asleep?” said a familiar voice.

With a jolt of surprise you looked around you. Instead of your room in Equestria, you are in your old school in Inaba!

“He’s finally awake! Now, let’s get something to eat. I think I heard they are having a super beef bowl special.” Chie said next to you.

“What! Are you crazy? We could barely finish the last time we’ve been there, right Yukiko?” Yosuke asked her.

“How about we go to Junes? I’m sure Kanji, Rise, and Naoto are all there waiting.”

“And I’m sure Teddy is slacking off from his job!” Yosuke said irritably.

“So it’s settled, we’re going to Junes, and Yosuke is buying!” Chie said happily.

“Hey, who said I am going to pay for the food. I have to use my paycheck to serve all of us, you know.”

Thanks for treating us.

“What, not you to, bro! I’m going to be broke by the end of the week?”

You told them that you will meet up at Junes, since you’re the only one not packed up to leave to classroom. Being left alone in the class room, you felt a wave of nostalgia over the town you made great friends with. The fog, the murders, persona, and shadows seem like a side attraction when your with all your friends.

Having everything packed you were about to leave when you stopped half way out of the door. For some reason you can’t seem to explain why you have this feeling of some powerful presence all around you. But you can definitely tell that you’re being watched from somewhere.

Slowly walking to the chalk board, you reached over to get a metric ruler and swung at the area with the most presence. For a brief second you felt the ruler Kinect to something before it vanished. You stabbed, slashed, and hacked at the presence where ever you feel the most pressure in the room. Taking a moment to look around, you see other students, alongside your friends all talking to one another.

You tried to call out to them, but they seem to fall to deaf ears.

With your suspicions rising to new heights, you reached in your pocket to get your glasses and wore them. The classroom you were in a few seconds ago are now filled with fog, police tape, towers of broken TVs, and friends you thought were your real friends were actually misshapen shadows wandering around this twisted school.

You have seen pass the illusion I hide around me, and successfully found the true nature of this domain.

Taking another swing and a miss, you decided that you had enough. Raising your arm in the air a blue flaming card appeared. Crushing the card your persona immerges out of thin air, swung his massive sword, and split the mystery figure in two. With the presence gone, you tried to find a way out of this messed up school.

To summon such a powerful being shows you have great potential, but when I am in this world I am far more superior.

You tried to find where that voice was coming from, but it became much harder to find it. When were about to summon Izanagi again you felt a beam of light rain down on you, causing you to lose consciousness in the middle of the battle.

We will see each other again. For now though, I think it’s time for you to wake up, or else you might be late for school.

[Reality]

Fluttering your eyes open, you awoke to see your still in your room. Turning on your side you also saw Shimmer plunge her entire body into your TV screen.

Now, more fully awake, you jumped out of bed, stuck your arms in the TV, and tried to pull her out with no such luck. With no other option you got dressed in your uniform, wrote a note to Button’s mom about dropping Shimmer off home, and ran outside to get to Junes.

Running all the way back to the store, you checked your cellphone to check the time. Junes open around seven in the morning and your cellphone says it is around eight, so there will be fewer eyes around the store when you enter the same TV from the last trip.

Entering the store in a quick pace, you hurried to the electronics, checked around if there are other people, and jumped inside to be transferred back to the other world.

[Other world]

Exiting out of the TV screen your eyes scanned around to find that you are no longer in Junes, but instead a school.

“I see you have arrived.” Principal said to you behind her desk.

Sunset Shimmer entered a different TV screen!

“Yes, I heard it from her.” She told you.

Where did it lead her?

“I got a call from the principal from the prep school calling me about one of my students trespassing.”

You are relieved that she is safe and not lost.

“They told me to pick her up from their school’s detention, but my sister and I are too bust here. And Sunset’s friends are already in class, so they are not allowed to leave until school ends.”

Which is why I should retrieve her, right?

“Yes, you have their uniform, so they will think you are from their school, and since you are a senior they will be far less suspicions about you leaving the school grounds.” The principal explained to you.

You agreed to her request to get Sunset back and left her office.

You’re glad that she is alright, but you slowly drifted back to what that mystery person’s words.

We will see each other again.

You just hope it won’t be today.
