My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games

Recap: Six months ago, after noticing the presence of Equestrian Magic in the human world a group of Sirens called the Dazzling’ used their power to spread hate and distrust all over Canterlot High School. Everyone was under their spell, except six girls named Sunset Shimmer, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy, called upon the Princess of Friendship AKA Princess Twilight Sparkle to help them perform a musical counters spell to defeat them. They faced many obstacles but eventually, by working together they shattered the source of the Dazzling’s power and forced them into exile. With that done, Princess Twilight Sparkle returned to her world but left the portal open so she could come any time she wanted. However, unknown to them, their magical battles have begun to attract some … unwanted attention outside the school, attention like… Twilight Sparkle herself.

Around the same time that the Dazzlings were defeated, a large red wave lengths were written on a seismograph, which beeped a bit before stopping.

A purple hand ripped out the seismic reading that she had just calculated from her machine, and placed it up on a board with dozens and dozens of pictures, calculations, samples, statistics and other science and math related items each pinned and connected to a red string in a giant web and they all connected to one thing in particular; a picture of Canterlot High. Many of the pictures include a shining rainbow, a ray of light and a sky alicorn shining above the school.

The owner of said board, who was staring at it puzzled with a purple skinned girl with indigo hair that had a purple streak and currently in the form of a bun. She wore large black glasses, a white lab coat and a light blue turtleneck.

“No doubt about it Spike, there’s definitely something strange going on at that school.” Twilight said as she looked up at all of her hard work and narrowed her eyes at it.

Spike, the purple and green dog behind her, replied back to her with a bark, just finishing up his breakfast that she had laid out for him. She ignored him as she sighed as she turned around and started pacing.

“Yeah, I know I’m close, I can feel it… I’m never wrong about these things, but I just can’t figure out how or why all these strange anomalies have been occurring and it’s driving me crazy!” Human Twilight admitted, holding her head looking stressed. “All I know is… they all have something to do with that school and nobody else is talking about it, except me.”

Spike barked again, she seemed to understand what he was saying somehow.

She then shook her head. “No, I can’t just go over there and ‘check it out’, that would raise suspicions, mostly due to the fact that I don’t even go to that school. But I can’t find anything out if I just stay cooped up in here…”

Twilight walked back to her desk where a ton of papers and books were stacked together on top of it. She sighed, feeling exhausted. She looked at one of the papers then read through a certain book. Native Twilight flipped through all the pages, before growled in agitation before knocking away all papers and books angrily

“Ugh! This doesn’t make sense!” Native Twilight exclaimed, frustrated as all the papers and books rained down around and fell on the ground. Spike looked at her worried while she puts her hands on her head. “Events like this don’t just happen for no reason, and they’re has to be one for this! I know it! I’m never wrong! I have to figure out what this all means! I have to!”

As she sinks to her knees, Spike approached her and whined with a sympathetic look on his face while rubbing against her, she gave him a gentle pat.

“Thanks Spike, I don’t know where I would be without you.”

Spike barked again and ran out toward the door barking and motioning his head towards it.

“What? What is it boy?” she asked.

Puppy Spike looked a bit frustrated and then walked over to a little table where a leash was set on top and pulled it down with his teeth. He panted, excitedly.

“A walk? Now? I don’t know… it’s awfully late…” Human Twilight pointed out. “Not to mention I still got a lot of work to do here.”

Spike then started whining and giving her the puppy dog eyes, eyes that she just couldn’t say no to.

“Oh, alright!” she relented. “But we can’t stay out to long, ok?”

Spike barked happily and seemed to jump for joy as his Twilight bent down and attached the leash to his collar. He then started to pull her right out the door, much to her surprise as she tried to hold him back.

“Whoa! Spike, slow down! Slow down!” she tried to tell him, but he didn’t listen and continued to pull her forward.


They soon arrived in the Everfree Park, a large district with trimmed grass, neat flowerbeds, some wild looking copses, some signs of wild life, mainly the ones that came out at night which it technically was at the moment. Not that it mattered to the eager puppy called Spike who continued to pull his owner down the long stone path that went straight through the park.

“Come on, Spike, not so fast! We’re here already! No need to get so excited.” Human Twilight told him. They then began to slow down, giving Twilight a moment to look around them, the forest was quite different than it was during the night. It was more… lively. “Though I have to admit, the scenery is quite lovely… fascinating even.”

Spike gave her a little smirk which she understood as she bent down and petted him.

“Thought I needed some fresh air? Is that why you brought me out here?” she guessed. He barked in response. “Thank you, Spike.”

She petted him for a few more moments before abruptly standing back up straight again. “But I can’t lose focus! I have to figure out what’s going on at Canterlot High no matter what it takes!”

The purple skinned girl then walked further into the forest, while her little puppy whined with worry before following her. Human Twilight sighed, sadly as she proceeded further into the darkness of the forest while adjusting her glasses.

“You know what Spike? Life stinks, never believe it before… but I believe it now,” she muttered. “My brother has gone away, my parents are never around… and I still can’t figure out what’s been going on at that school…”

Spike looked at her sadly and whined when she stopped and groaned in frustration as she put her hands on her head, ruffled it and threatened to tear it out, making it messier. “Urgh! Why can’t I figure this out!? Why do these weird things keep happening lately!? I don’t know! Nothing! No ideas! Useless! Empty! Brain!” she exclaimed, while banging her head on a tree. After calming down, she sighed again. “Maybe I’m just all washed up here…”

Then, as if fate heard her words of self-deprecation, a gentle breeze blew by her, making her shiver a bit, but also bringing with it what appeared to be a flyer, which she noticed and grabbed before it could smack her in the face. She held it in both hands as she read it; ‘Friendship Games in one week! Canterlot High Wondercolts Vs Crystal Prep Academy Shadowbolts’. Twilight’s face lit up after reading it.

She also noticed in the far distance a sleek looking school covered by darkness, as well as some green vines around the front, making it look a little spooky, not that Alternate Twilight seemed to mind or notice, as she was too busy smiling and forming a plan in her head.

“Then again… maybe I’m not!” she said. Spike barked again, a little bit confused. “Looks like if I wanna see what’s going on at Canterlot High, I’m gonna have to enroll in the Crystal Prep Academy and participate in the Friendship Games! And then once I do figure it out, I will prove to everyone once and for all that I’m… a genius.”

She smiled proudly as the wind blew by her, for dramatic effect, then turned and noticed Spike lifting his leg near a tree.

“Spike! Not here! Ugh!” she groaned as she went over to him, not noticing that she was being watched by a pair of glowing red eyes.
