Brave new world

Twilight walked towards the school, wondering if this was really the place she had been searching for. “I don’t know Spike,” She said, glancing down at her dog. “This doesn’t look like a place where any power fluxes would normally take place. I mean, just look at it!”

It was a Sunday afternoon, and the birds were out enjoying the nice weather. “It’s just a school; it’s not like its any place special.” Spike barked, looking up at her in dismay. “What is it boy?” She asked, looking around suspiciously. He barked again and jumped into her arms. “All right, I’ll carry you. If only to stop you from wandering.” She picked him up and walked away from the building. “I’ll be coming back here tomorrow for the Friendship Games.” She said. “Then I’ll finally have some time to find out what’s really going on.”

Sunset Shimmer walked into the school every day and got the same reaction. All of her other classmates shunned her, making sure that she always knew what she had done. “I just wish I could do it all over.” She thought, walking towards her seat in the band’s practice area. The rest of the Rainbooms had yet to arrive, but Applejack was already there, reading a book as she had been set up for an hour already. “Howdy, Sugar Cube!” She said, looking up from her book. “Why the long face?”

“Oh, Applejack, I’m just so tired of every single student here hating me. Even after I helped defeat the Dazzlings, they won’t forget that I used to be, well you know.”

“A super ginormous extra large evil demon from beyond Tartarus Itself!?!” Pinkie Pie shouted as she bounced in, carrying a big balloon in behind her.

“Yeah, that.” Sunset said a dejected look on her face.

“Now that’s just silly talk. Everyone here knows what you’ve done, but they’ve forgiven you.” Applejack said. “Remember when Bulk Biceps helped you get Angel down from the lamp?”

“I know but…”

Rainbow Dash burst in, running at full speed. “Guys, you’ll never guess who’s back!!!”

Twilight walked through the school, looking up and down the halls for anything that could have caused the mysterious power fluxes that she measured, when she saw a girl with the strangest new dress. “Wow, the trends these days.” She walked down the hall and entered her first class of the day, English, and sat down in her chair, right across from a girl with pink hair and a green skirt with butterflies on it. The girl turned around to stuff a pair of fluffy white ears in her backpack, when she looked up and saw Twilight. “Ohmygosh. Twilight, your back.” She whispered. “I mean, we don’t have any trouble going on here and, you usually only come here if we have some magical creature attacking, not that I’m unhappy or anything, but what are you doing here?”

“Sorry, What?”

“Well, last time you came back was because of the Sirens and before that it was…”

“Sorry, Sirens? Are you sure you know what you’re talking about?”

“Yes I’m sure, I mean you were there with us remember?”

“No, I’ve never met you before.”

“But, you were there. You helped us defeat Sun…”

Ms. Cheerlie whacked her baton on the desk. “Settle down class, it’s time for the lesson to start.” The lesson started and the class’s attention turned to the board and, as the girl beside her kept giving her weird looks, Twilight decided to talk to some of the other students about the mental status of that girl next time she got the chance.

Twilight walked out of the school at three o’clock, wondering what was wrong with everyone at this school. There was a guy with blue hair who was apparently her boyfriend, five people who supposedly helped her defeat a magical demon and three Sirens and even a picture hanging in the hall of her winning the Fall formal crown. There was definitely something weird going on at this school. “Twilight!” a voice yelled, and she cringed as she turned around to face her “Friends.” “Yes?” She said, with a note of irritation in her voice. “You’ve been acting kind of strange today,” Applejack said. “We’re all really worried about you. Are you sure you’re okay?”

“No, I’m not.” She replied.

“Then what’s wrong, Sugar Cube?”

“I don’t know! Everyone here says that they know me but I don’t know any of you!”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, I have never met any of you before today!”

“But we…”

“Don’t give me that story again! I’ve heard it from everyone at school, including both the principals, I don’t need to hear it again!”

“How can you not remember this? You’re the one who brought us back together in the first place!”

Twilight stormed towards the statue. “I’m telling you, I have no idea what you’re talking abou…ah!!!” Twilight screamed as she threw her fist at the pedestal of the statue, and it went right through.

Applejack screamed. “Twilight!” She then quickly ran inside to fetch the others, never noticing the second flash of light exploding from the portal.
