Chapter 1

Chapter one

The earth shook as this huge purple flash appeared in the woods. The students were shocked. Most of them thought it was Gaya Everfree. Twilight thought it was her fault.
Sunset didn't think it was either. She got curious and went to check. There was something off about this whole thing. First her friends got new magic, then this weird stuff happens everywhere, and now this magical explosion.

There had to be something.

While the others were busy discussing what happened, Sunset Shimmer snuck off into the woods. It was hard to remember where it happened. Every tree seemed like the next one. As she went further, she heard something rustle in a bush. Curiosity got the best of her and she went closer.

The bush rustled again. Sunset knew it was not a wild animal. She wasn't afraid in the slightest.

"Come out, I won't hurt you." Sunset said quietly.

The bush rustled again and this time a head stuck out. A little cyan head with rainbow colored hair and magenta eyes stared into her face. Sunset gasped.
"Wait. You.. this can't be.." Sunset kneeled before it. The little creature came out completely. It was a cyan Pegasus with rainbow mane and tail and a cutie mark that Sunset was more than familiar with.

"How can this be? The mirror should have transformed you... and how did you even get here?"

"I don't know. Well, not really. And with this science-egghead stuff you should ask Twi." The little pony shook herself to get rid of leaves that stuck to her fur, feathers and hair.

"What are we gonna do? The mirror is at the school. That's too far away to explain the way to you. And I don't even know the way anyways.." Sunset said, more to herself.

The pony sat down, checking her wings. "Well, I don't know."

Sunset groaned. "Do you know anything?"

The Pegasus glared at Sunset.

"Okey sorry. But what am I supposed to do with you? I can't just go around with you. You can't be seen..." Sunset thought for a moment. "I got it! Wait here.. no wait, follow me to the camp and wait there."

Dash gave her a questioning look but took to the air and followed Sunset.
When they reached the end of the forest Dash landed on one of the branches of a tree while Sunset went towards her and Twilights tent. She grabbed her bag and went back outside.
Sunset was lost again when she reached the trees. "Dash, where are you?" Sunset whispered. The Pegasus flew down in front of her.
"Get in my bag, I'm gonna bring you to our tent." Sunset explained and opened her bag. Dash gave her an unamused glance but climbed in.

"Yuck this stinks!"

"Sorry, it's an old bag. I just grabbed the nearest one without thinking.. Don't worry, you'll be out in a sec."

Sunset went off to her tent. She only then noticed that some students were still panicked, while her friends played with their new magic. Wasting no time Sunset went into the tent and opened the bag on the floor.

Dash shot out, gasping for air.

"Oh come on, it's not so bad!" Sunset exclaimed.

"Easy for you to say!" Dash argued and climbed out. "So, I'm gonna stay here until you get back to school?"

"Guess so."

"And how long is that gonna be?"

"Until next week."

Dash groaned and flopped on the ground.

"Come on, it's gonna be fun. We got some strange new magic here anyways. So, since when are you here anyways?"

Dash lifted her head from the ground. "After this explosion. Twi kinda broke the mirror."

Sunset blinked. "She what?"

"Well we had a bit of an argument... by the way, don't make her mad or she's gonna blow magic on you. Hit me, threw me to the mirror and in that moment she must've casted another spell, that broke the mirror."

Sunset was speechless. "Dash, do you know what this means?"

Dash got up from the ground.
"That Twi is gonna have bad luck for the next seven years?"

"No. That you can't go home when the mirror is broken!"

Her wings spread open. "Wait what?!"

"What did you even do to make Twilight so angry?"

"I dropped a book."

Sunset's eye twitched.

"What? It was an accident! I swear!"

Sunset's hand slapped in her face.
