My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games

Chapter 6

Twilight scanned the corridor to make sure no one could see what she was about to do. When she was positive she wouldn’t be caught she hurried to the Principal’s office, replaying the events that happened earlier on today.

“Why did those girls acted like they knew me?” She muttered to herself. "And why did they all of a sudden stop their act? Something is weird in this school."

However she was so busy in what she had to do, she forgot to look up.

BANG!

Twilight fell to the floor and hurried to get all her papers back, as well as her glasses, which fell off her face. She looked up to see who she bumped into. When she saw a blue-haired guitar boy, she remembered him from in the assembly.

“Whoa! You ok?” Flash asked, concerned as he bent down. They both reached for the fallen glasses but Flash got them first and that’s when he finally got a good look at her annoyed face, a face that looked almost like Princess Twilight’s only with slightly messier hair done in a ponytail and different clothes He let out a small gasp and spoke quietly. “Twilight?”

The still looking annoyed the human counterpart took her glasses from his hands and put them on. “Yes, thank you,” she said, briskly as stood back up

“Well, well, this must be some kind of crazy trend for us, huh?” smirked Flash, remembering all the times they meet with a chuckle, but this Twilight was not laughing.

“What are you talking about? The possibility of us bumping into each other every time is very unlikely. Considering we only meet each other today, you might want to not get on my bad side. Now goodbye!” Twilight said before she hurriedly walked away.

Still looking shocked by Human Twilight’s sudden appearance and wondering if it was the same Twilight he had gained affections for, Flash almost didn’t notice her walking abruptly past him, once he did she was already far ahead. “Uh… w-wait!” he tried to call out to her but she was too far away to hear.

As Flash continued to watch her go with a distressed look on his face, Human Twilight continued to walk away, only now she was blushing brightly. She soon shook it off upon reaching Celestia’s office.

Picking a hair pin from her bag, she started to pick the lock for Principal Celestia’s office. “I’ll find all the answers in here.”

Elsewhere, the Canterlot High team were on the field stretching, preparing their gear and getting ready for the games, except Fluttershy. “Um, girls? I don't know about you but I still don't know how to play against Twilight. I could be too hard and she might be upset.” Fluttershy took a strand of hair and started twirling it.

Sunset went and sat beside the timid, girl. “It’s okay, Fluttershy. Twilight won’t be mad I promise.” Sunset brought Fluttershy in a hug.

A scratchy, sharp voice came behind them. “Who knows, she might be mad that she hasn't got any real competition this year. So you girls better keep on practicing than hugging if you wanna have a chance of beating us!” Sour Sweet stepped out of the shadows, along with the rest of the Shadowbolts, sans Twilight.

Rainbow was furious. “Oh please, we don’t need to practice to beat a weedy team like you, anyone can play sports but no one can beat m… I mean us! So the only time you’ll touch the trophy is when you’re polishing it for us.” Rainbow got out one of the arrows and aimed it at the girl.

Applejack stepped in before things could get out of hand. “Now listen ya’ll. Why not we just leave the tension for the games, that way no one will get hurt.” Applejack grabbed the arrow out of Rainbow’s hand.

“Aw look, there's a little country bumpkin in this sorry excuse for a school. How sad!” Indigo Zap teased, clearly enjoying her enemies squirm. Applejack became red with anger. “Come on girls, we have more interesting things than hanging out with these losers.”

The Shadowbolts turned and began to walk away.

Rainbow Dash’s eyes narrowed. “They irk me, you know that?”

“I can’t believe our world’s Twilight goes to the same school as them.” Rarity remarked, folding her arms and frowning.

“Makes me wonder though… why would she join them anyway? She doesn’t seem like the athletic type… or the magical type for that matter.” Applejack pointed out.

“Eh, I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about.” Pinkie shrugged. “Now let’s get training!”

“Yeah!” They cheered.

Around the exact same time, Twilight was still outside Principal Celestia’s office and was continuing to try and unlock the door with the pin, with little success. “Come on, there has got to be a way in here!" She was quickly getting impatient with this job. Suddenly the pin snapped in half. “Ugh! This is impossible!

Twilight hit the door in frustration and that’s when she heard a click. She finally opened the pathetic lock. Twilight slowly turned the handle and stepped cautiously inside.

Twilight started to search through the cabinets and then came across a folder that read ‘DAZZLINGS; in bright red. She grabbed that folder and found two more with peculiar titles. ‘SUNSET SHIMMER’ and ‘TWILIGHT SPARKLE.’

“Wait, before today, I never stepped into this school. How could they have an entire folder about me?”

“But Tia, don’t you think that that Twilight could be from another world too? I mean we already have one from a pony land,” came a voice further down the hall.

Twilight froze. “Oh no! If I’m found in here then I'll never figure out the mystery!” she gulped.

Twilight stuffed all three folders in her bag and headed towards and empty window.

“Good thing this is the ground floor, huh,” she said as she pushed herself out of the window and landed herself into a patch of flowers.

Twilight started to wipe herself of the mud when she realized some girls where running to her.

“Oh no, someone saw me!” Twilight gasped as she stood up. “I know what you are thinking and firstly I just want to say I’m sorry I was just trying to…”

“Our petunias! They’re ruined!” A girl stepped up. She had light and dark pink hair and had a rose on her skirt. “This is awful!”

She fell on her knees and started to hug the flowers before she and the other girls fainted dead away.

“The horror! The horror!” One of them cried!

“Oh, well I’m really sorry, but I have to go… somewhere…” Twilight threw her bag over her shoulder and started to run down the sidewalk. Sci-Twi sighed in relief. “That sure was a lucky escape!

She brought back her attention to the folders.

“Sunset Shimmer, she was one of the girls who talked to me earlier on today, what is she hiding? And what was that talk about another dimension and a pony land?” she wondered. This school is just full of questions, and I’m going to get all the answers to them!”

As Human Twilight continued on her way, Sunset Shimmer, who was just coming to the road to retrieve one of the arrows, noticed her leaving as well as the fainted flower girls and the open windows and began to look suspicious. She then walked back to the others, who were training, stretching and preparing their gear on the field.

“Hey, I just saw Twilight…” Sunset told them. They all looked at her confused. “The other Twilight.”

“Oh!” They nodded, understandingly.

“Yeah, she was still at Canterlot High after the Shadowbolts had left.”

“So what was she doing?” Applejack inquired.

“I don’t know… it looked like she just escaped through the window of Principal Celestia’s office… I think she was snooping around the school…” Sunset said, scratching the back of her head.

“Why would she do that?” Fluttershy questioned.

“I don’t know… but I have a bad feeling about it…” Sunset confessed. They then noticed Flash approaching them.

“Hey guys!” he said.

“Flash!” Sunset responded, surprised. “What are you doing here? What’s going on?”

“Uh… well… I just… ran into Twilight,” he said, surprising them.

“You did?’ Rarity asked.

“So she was still here…” Rainbow realized.

“So is it true? Has she come back to Canterlot High?” Flash questioned, eagerly.

“No Flash, that wasn’t Twilight, at least… not the one we know…” Sunset sighed.

“What do you mean?” he inquired.

“Well… it’s kind of complicated… but let’s just say that there are two Twilights, one from this world and one from my home; Equestria.” Sunset explained.

“Whoa…” Flash remarked.

“Yeah, and looks like this Twilight is definitely going to be playing against us.” Rainbow said, displeased.

“Aw man… must be pretty awkward, huh?” Flash remarked. “I mean… she might not be the Twilight we know… but she has her face.”

“Yeah… we know what you mean…” Fluttershy sighed.

“I just hope this Twilight figures out that those Shadowbolts are not the kind of people one should be affiliated with.” Rarity stated, sourly.

“Kinda bitter, don’t you think?” Sunset pointed out.

“Something like that happens when you lose enough times…” Applejack said.

“Tell me about it.” Rainbow agreed.

“Well, this time it’s gonna be different.” Sunset told them. “If we do win this, I’d like you all to make an effort not to rub it in their faces afterwards, and maybe try to get along with them? It is called ‘Friendship Games’ for a reason you know.”

“You gotta admit, she has a point!” Pinkie Pie piped up.

“Fine, but only after the games and after we win.” Rainbow Dash stated, firmly. “And we will win.”

“Yeah!” They all cheered before they dispersed and resumed training.

Twilight’s Human counterpart soon arrived back at Crystal Prep and walked down the seemingly empty hallway with the files she collected pressed tightly against her chest. Then suddenly, her teammates; The Shadowbolts all stepped out of the dark parts of the hallway and surrounded her.

“And where we you, Sparkle?” Lemon Zest questioned, narrowing her eyes, suspiciously.

Twilight was a bit worried but hide it well as she shook her head and regained her serious and cold look. “None of your business,” she said as she started to walk forward before Indigo Zap blocked her.

“Oh, we don’t think so,” she stated, bluntly. The other Shadowbolts stepped forward around her as well.

“You see Twilight, we’re a team, remember? We may not be overly fond of each other but we do like to know what we are all doing. We don’t keep secrets” Sugarcoat told her. “And we also don’t like having any potential traitors in our midst.”

“Yeah, maybe that’s why she was so interested in going to that lame school.” Sunny Flare smirked.

“She liked them so much that she forget who she was.” Sugarcoat added.

Sour Sweet laughed. “Aw, how adorable!” she teased.

Twilight’s eyes narrowed. “Girls, let me assure you that I am no traitor,” she stated, firmly. “And I all I want is the total defeat of Canterlot High and nothing more. Am I clear?”

Sugarcoat narrowed her eyes, but she seemed to believe her. “Crystal,” she said.

“Crystal Prep that is!” Sour Sweet piped up with a little giggle. The others all rolled their eyes and/or face palmed.

“Yes, well, whatever the case may be, Principal Sombra would like to have a word with you.” Sugarcoat told her.

“Principal Sombra wants to see me? Why?” Twilight inquired.

“He didn’t say.” Sugarcoat shrugged.

“And we don’t care so… go.” Indigo Zap told her.

Twilight narrowed her eyes and proceeded ahead.

She soon approached the doors of the Principal and looked up at them a bit worried, she had never been called to the Principal’s office in her life so it was very new to her. But still, she knew she had to and it would be illogical for her not to she raised her hand and knocked on the door.

“Come in,”

Sci-Twi then opened the door and pokes her head in where she sees Principal Sombra seated at his desk and signing some papers.

“Uh… P-Principal Sombra?” Twilight spoke up.

The dark looking Principal looked up from his desk and smiled, pleased. “Ah, Miss Sparkle, you’re here.”

“Yes… you… wanted to see me?” Twilight inquired, slowly.

“Indeed my dear, please take a seat.” Sombra offered, gesturing to the chair in front of him.

“Uh… ok.” Twilight responded as she walked over and sat down. “Have… I done something wrong?”

“Oh no, far from it Miss Sparkle.” Sombra assured her. “I just wanted to make you an offer.”

“An offer?” Sci-Twi echoed, surprised.

“Yes. See, I’m aware that your new here but I can tell you know how to get things done.” Sombra told her as he stood up. “You my dear… have a very organized mind.”

“Oh… thank you.” Human Twilight said, bashfully.

“And an organized mind, is a powerful mind.” Principal Sombra stated. “That’s why I want you to help organize our team better, make sure are gear is up to snuff, basically help us make sure we have an edge over the Canterlot High Wondercolts, if you think you can.”

Twilight adjusted her glasses. “Uh… well… I do have some ideas on how to get us more organized and improve our gear, but the Wondercolts team is very determined to win this year, things may be a bit challenging, sir.”

“Well, don’t worry, I have a few more surprises in store for them.” Sombra told Human Twilight. Just then, their was a knock at the door. “Oh, and it looks like one of them just showed up. Come on, in.”

The door opened up and Twilight turned to see who it was. She gasped softly in surprise as she stared at what seemed to be a beautiful yet creepy woman with dark, blackish-blue skin and eerie green eyes. Her hair had dark and light blue streaks and she wore a murky green and black outfit. Twilight couldn’t help but feel disturbed by her but she still maintained her composure.

“Ah, good, it’s you, I was wondering when you would arrive.” Sombra said, pleased. “Welcome… Vice Principal Chrysalis.”

“Good afternoon, Principal Sombra.” Vice Principal Chrysalis responded as she proceeded inside. “Tell me, are the preparations complete for the games?”

“Why of course! We just need one more blocker for the roller derby challenge.” Principal Sombra replied.

“And who should that be?” Chrysalis inquired.

“It will be hard, the games are eminent and their might not be time to evaluate the rest of the students.” Sombra mused, as he began to think. Twilight also began to think and quickly got an idea.

“Um, excuse me Principal Sombra… Vice Principal Chrysalis, but I may have a suggestion for another possible blocker, assuming that she does indeed go to this school as I think she does…” Twilight said. They both turned to her.

Sombra seemed to smile a pleased and slightly sinister smile. “Oh? Well, that depends my dear… what is her name?” he asked, interested.

Twilight paused and narrowed her eyes before speaking. “Starlight Glimmer…” she said as she pushed up her glasses, which then became obscured by the dim light reflected in her glasses, making her look sinister.
