Author's Note

To avoid confusion, "Crunchies" is a candy product I made up for this universe.
On a more related note, I'm surprised no one else went through with this idea.

Chapter 1

Bored out of her mind, a girl with long, slightly disheveled hair, stepped out of the cap. She wore a black top shirt, a lilac skirt, with three pink bats on it and sickly, dark green boots. On her hair, she wore a black, bat hair clip. The girls skin was grayed out, butter colored, making her look fairly sick. Finally she had naturally red eyes, which scanned the area she was standing.

A large school building emitted in front of her, with a huge grass field in front of it. The building itself wasn't really remarkable. The only thing that really stood out, was the broken statue, which used to be on top of some kind of mirror. How the mirror wasn't even slightly damaged or dirty, the girl could only speculate.

The cab drove off, leaving the new girl with her backpack at the school. She just hoped the guy would really deliver her luggage back to her parent's house. She had been nice enough to pay him a little extra for the service.

Not even trying to stifle the upcoming yawn, the girl proceeded towards the school building, all the way muttering about stupid, late airplanes and cheap airlines.

"Two days." the girl muttered. "How come they can't get a replacement plane, instead of letting me wait two fucking days at the airport?! When I get my hands on them....grr, they're lucky I'm on an apple diet."

Entering the building, the girl found herself inside empty hallways. No surprises there, after all, the first period had already started. Looking to the walls, she found the fire escape plan. Using it, she pinpointed the principal's office and made her way.

2 minutes later, she knocked at the principal's office, immediately afterwards hearing a female voice saying: "Come in."

The girl opened the door and stepped inside the office. A white skinned woman, with almost rainbow colored hair looked up from her computer. Her magenta eyes showed surprise upon seeing the girl. "Fluttershy? Oh, you must be Flutterbat!" the principal said in realization. "I'm sorry, but I guess you know how it is, when you're a twin. Please, take a seat."

"Yeah, it happens all the time. I'm used to it." Flutterbat replied, taking the seat she had been offered. "I don't get why though. Sure we look alike a little, but Shy and I have completely different personalities."

"I see." Celestia put her elbows on the desk, crossing her fingers. "To be honest, I didn't quite expect after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Fluttershy informed me about the complications regarding your return flight."

Flutterbat waved off. "As much as I would love to go home and take some much needed rest, I haven't even be able to come back on Christmas. The past e-mails have been...interesting to say the least."

"Okay..." Principal Celestia turned back to her computer. "Let me just check something, quickly. Ah, there we go. Your first period is history with Mr. Time Turner. Your sister has biology at the moment, so you won't see her until later. You're both lucky, though. Miss Cheerilee called in sick today and we weren't able to find a replacement for her, so you have the entire second period to catch up."

"Sounds cool."

"Great, let me bring you to your first class then." Principal Celestia stood up and was mimicked by Flutterbat.

Rainbow Dash didn't know why she needed to suffer through history class. Well actually she did, for she needed to take these lessons in order to join the Wonderbolts later on. What she didn't get was, why she needed history in order to join a stunt flier/military team.

Sunset was sitting next to her, looking equally bored, though not because of the same reasons. As it turned out, that girl was actually a complete nerd. It surprised everyone, when they found out. The girls up to this day kept it a secret. And since Sunset was a nerd (or had a nerdy side as she put it), she of course studied everything in advance. The result? Utterly and complete boredom.

However, this would change soon, as someone knocked at the door. A little distraught, Time Turner looked at the door. "Yes, do come in." the history teacher called. The next moment the door opened with the principal and a very familiar looking girl entered.

"Whoa." Rainbow nudged Sunset. "Isn't that...Fluttershy?" the sports girl asked her friend.

Sunset rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and looked again. "I guess? Wow, what happened to her?"

"Ah, principal Celestia. How may I help you?"

"I'm sorry for the interruption Mr. Time Turner, but I have a new student to introduce to you and the class. Everyone, I'm sure she looks familiar to you. This is Flutterbat, Fluttershy's twin sister."

Immediately there were murmurs around the students in class, as they observed the new girl. They in return were taken under observation by Flutterbat. Since Celestia introduced Flutterbat as Shy's twin sister, the girl concluded that her sister was somewhat popular in school. It sounded out of character for the shy girl, but Bat could ask Shy later.

"Well then, I'll leave you to your lesson Mr. Time Turner. Have a nice day, Flutterbat." Principal Celestia went back to her office, afterwards.

"Now then, Ms. Bat. Over there seems to be a free seat. If you would be so kind and take a seat."

"Of course." Flutterbat replied and made her way to the last row, sitting down next to Sunset Shimmer, who found herself now seated between Rainbow and Bat. The fiery haired girl looked over to the new one, who noticed this and gave Sunset a glare with her red eyes.

Sunset flinched under the glare and turned around immediately. Something told her she should not talk to Flutterbat during the lesson.

Flutterbat was the first one to exit the class, as she really needed to use the restroom. After she got out, she immediately went looking for her little sister, as she too would have a free period now. Finding her though was easier said than done, since the school wasn't really that small. After all, it was technically a high, middle and elementary school combined. There were so many scents mixed up in the air, that she wasn't able to pinpoint the smell of her sister.

As she walked down the hallways of Canterlot High, she could hear the students whispering about her. She didn't really pay much attention to their gossip, but picked up keywords like "Fluttershy" and "new look" and such.

It wasn't until she was about to turn around another corner, that she heard a very familiar voice talking to someone else.

"How is Opal doing Rarity? I hope the medicine I gave you helped against her tummy ache."

"Oh, she's doing splendid my dear, all thanks to you." the unknown voice replied to her sister. "Oh, did you hear the rumor? Apparently, we have a new student in school and she is already leaving an impression on the boys."

"A new student?" her sister replied. "But I thought Twilight was supposed to transfer on Thursday."

"Well, I'm sure they would have mentioned her name. It might be someone else, completely."

"I see. I just hope she is nice."

"That depends on how many of those Crunchies you're ready to share with me."

Fluttershy shrieked and spun around, ready to hide behind Rarity, but then she recognized the person standing in front of her.

"Flutterbat?"

Said girl grinned. "Hey Shy. Long time no see."
