Midnight Parallel
Chapter 8: High School
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe Changeling walked through the school, intent on finding out who was responsible for the Magical surges Queen Chrysalis had sent her to investigate. She had been shocked when she fell out of the portal already camouflaged. She had no idea why she had come out looking like a teenage girl, much less Twilight Sparkle. She had quickly deducted this fact when, as she walked through the doors the next day, she was greeted by six people calling her name and asking where she had been. She quickly followed suit and responded accordingly, giving them all hugs and making up excuses. They had been following her all day and while she was enjoying the love she tasted, she was happy when the school bell rung and first period began. Walking the empty halls, she turned to find a display case filled with different photos for the past few years. Examining the items inside, she discovered the source of the Magical surges. It was Twilight Sparkle and the six other girls she was with. The Changeling thought hard and snapped as she recalled their names. "Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Sunset Shimmer." She looked at the display of this year. "But, who are these girls?" She wondered, looking at the three oddly dressed girls standing on-stage with microphones. "Queen Chrysalis never mentioned them. They look oddly familiar, but I can't place it." She thought hard but, as she was wasting what precious time she had here, she gave up and focused on the seven girls in the photograph. "I must find these girls. Queen Chrysalis demands that there be no one to stand in the way of her invasion." She walked away, determined to find and capture the other six. However, she failed to notice a blue haired figure watching her from the shadows.
"I don't know what's wrong with her." Flash said, looking at each of the Mane five in turn. "First day she gets back, she acts like she doesn't know us. Next day, she sounds like she's playing along."
Applejack stood up and, with a glance at the others, spoke up. "We believe that was this worlds Twilight, Flash. She came to the school with no idea of what we've done or who we are."
"So…"
"So when I went to talk to her, she worked up into a rage and punched the pedestal of the statue out front."
"And she fell right through." He finished.
"Right. We sent Sunset in after her, but she hasn't come out yet."
"So, if this worlds Twilight fell through the portal, then who have we been with today?"
"Any chance you found a pod in your backyard?"
"Rainbow! Not the time for your movie references!"
"I don't know Flash, We just have to keep an eye on her and hope we get some answers."
"Okay, but I don't like it."
The school bell rang, signaling the final period. "We'll talk later." Applejack said, walking out the door. "I have a dentist appointment. Something about too much apple in my diet."
"See ya!"
Applejack walked out the door and down the street when a big, black van with tinted windows pulled up beside her. She instinctively backed away, but the men in suits were too fast. They bound and gagged her, shoving her in the car and, tires squealing, pulled away from the school
