//-------------------------------------------------------// A Walk In the Mirror -by MoonlightWinter- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: Big Mistake. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: Big Mistake. In any world,things might be perfect to you,but not perfect to some,and what you do could hurt others as well,this is a lesson a princess named Twilight Sparkle learned as she wished for something new.....new friends. Oh look,here's Starlight Glimmer, a reformed villain,and student of Twilight Sparkle,let's see what their doing today. Starlight is walking by Twilight's castle,then Twilight comes out,and asks Starlight if she wanted to come over for tea. "Sure,when should I come over?"  Twilight let's Starlight know to come over at 6.  "Ok,see you there."  Starlight walks away,and heads over to Trixie's house. When she knocked on the door,Trixie answered. "Hi Starlight,come on in." Starlight walks in,and they chit chat about their plans. "So,I thought we could go to Las Pegasus,and have a fun time dancing; singing; dinner,and then we can go to the movies,and have popcorn while watching very nice comedy movies." Trixie smiles,then they agree to play some magic games,and do a little bit of spells. "I didn't know you were that powerful."  Trixie said as she sees Starlight's Teleport Lift trick. "Well thank you,Twilight has taught me a few things since Queen Chrysalis's attack."  Starlight looked at the clock,and it said 7:30 P.M "Oh no I'm late!! " Starlight runs out of Trixie's house without a goodbye. "Where is that mare.I bet she was at Trixie's." Twilight said as she began annoyed after waiting for an hour,and a half. Starlight ran into the castle,and teleports to Twilight. When she arrived Twilight was angry with her,and told spike to finally bring the tea;cups,and the teapot. "Where have you been Starlight,I've waited an hour,and a half." Twilight said very very angry. "I'm sorry Twilight,I was at Trixie's..and.." Twilight interrupts her. "Should of known..should of cupping known..you know what Starlight if your gonna ditch me for Trixie all the time,then I'll never teach you spells again,plus aren't you a mare? Yes...yes you are,so you know what you can teach yourself.Go upstairs now! Me,and spike will have our tea party..without you." Starlight stands there distort at what Twilight said to her,and just cries as she runs upstairs.As she lays there on her bed she brings out her dairy,and writes in it. "Dear Dairy,all I did today was hang out with Trixie,and what I get in return for coming late,and saying my sorry to Twilight..she disgraces me,and lefts me suffer. Is this the Twilight I know,or the Twilight that changed from my mistakes..I'm gonna go ask her friends,if there was any changes that they noticed...signed by Starlight Glimmer. Starlight heads to Sugar Cube Corner to find out if Pinkie Pie saw,or noticed anything weird.  "Hey Pinkie.." Starlight said as she sat down in a table looking depressed. "What's wrong you don't seen happy." Pinkie pie looked at her funny,when she asked what was wrong Starlight told Pinkie the whole story,but Pinkie said she didn't see anything wrong with Twilight,so then Starlight went to the all the houses her friends lived,but every single pony said they didn't see anything out of character. When Starlight returned she went back to her diary. "I don't know what's up today,no pony saw,or noticed anything different,maybe it's just me...wonder how I could make it up to her...I'll try that,signed Starlight." Starlight heads down stairs,and went to the library to find some of Twilight's favorite stories.  "Let's see here,where is the Star Swirl stories....oh  here they are."   Starlight buys 6 new books of Star Swirl the bearded,and heads over to Twilight's castle. When she came back home she saw Twilight waiting for her. "Where have you been Starlight,you know your friendship lessons are at 3,and it's 4:00 o clock." Starlight shows Twilight the 6 books she got her,but Twilight judges them. "How dare you try to copy me!" Roared Twilight. "Look just because you can go around doing things that I don't know about,doesn't mean you can COPY ME!!!." Starlight is in shock at what she heard,she tries explaining,but Twilight refused to listen as she grabbed her saddle bag,and destroys it along with the books. Starlight cries as she heads upstairs,but Twilight said to never ever come back here,as she kicked Starlight out. A few hours later Starlight finds Trixie,and told her what happened. " I have never heard of such a thing in my life,she didn't give you a chance to explain yourself..I'm gonna have a word with her!" Starlight stops Trixie,and tells her no,and that more damage will be done.Starlight asked her friends,but not Twilight to meet at Sugar Cube Corner,and an hour later everypony arrives. When Starlight told them what happened,at first they are shocked,and doesn't wanna believe it,but then she showed them the burnt objects. "I couldn't do powerful things like that,and all I did was buy her books." Applejack lets Starlight know that Twilight is just kinda upset right now from the tea party,and to just stay with Trixie for a while. A week later nothing as changed,but Applejack,and Rarity had a bit of a fight,so Starlight went to see what happened,but before she could ask,Fluttershy was being yelled at by Rainbow Dash,and Pinkie was yelling at Rainbow Dash. Starlight knew this whole fighting was caused by stress,and the isolation of Twilight. "Trixie,I don't what to do,should I go back to the castle?" Starlight asked while talking to Trixie. "Well,I don't know,it might be best,I'll come with you." Starlight smiles. "Thanks Trixie." When they got to Twilight the whole group was arguing over who's fault was it that made Twilight go all angry on her friends.When things really got out of hoof Starlight stepped in. "EVERYPONY CALM DOWN!" Starlight screamed,as all the ponies paused.Starlight tells everypony to stop fighting over something that didn't even involved them,but it involves Twilight,and Starlight. Twilight walks up to Starlight,and then Starlight told them to stop fighting,and to just forgive,but they didn't take it lightly. "Well it's not my fault Applejack splashed me with mud,made by Rainbow Dash!" Rarity yelled. "It's not my fault,that wouldn't of happened if Fluttershy didn't misread the calendar!" Said Rainbow dash,as she blamed her for the mud. "Why you blaming me..it was only an accident,you don't have to be so mean." Cried Fluttershy as her hair turned into a little ball for her to cry in. "Well if Rarity helped me,and Pinkie with the decorations she wouldn't of got muddy." Said Applejack,as she was standing up to Pinkie. "Guys stop fighting,your friends." Warned Starlight. Twilight gets more annoyed by their arguments,and yells at them to stop,and then she had enough as she blasts them away from her,and she grabbed spike,and ran to the mirror. "I don't need friends like you arguing all the time,I would rather stay at this place,and have BETTER FRIENDS! "  Roared Twilight as she jumped into the mirror. The gang just stand there wondering what on earth happened. As Twilight was teleporting through the mirror a huge shock of bolts,and magic came,and Twilight was teleported to a different location.When Twilight woke up she saw herself in the same place as before,but a bit different.She looked at the walls,and they were a nice purplish blue,then she looked at the flags,but they were pictures of an orange alicorn,or a light blue alicorn. "What happened to the castle,but more importantly what happened back there." Twilight wondered when she got up,and brushed herself off.Twilight started walking around the castle,then she saw spike on her back. "Hi Twilight...what happened back there anyway." Spike asked. "Idk,but what if something is wrong." Twilight felt concerned,but then she heard a familiar voice. When Twilight turned around she saw one of her long close friends..........Sunset Shimmer. "Sunset Shimmer?!" Twilight gasped as she saw her,but Sunset reacted differently. "Yes? What's wrong..you saw shocked for some reason..oh you found a dragon for your own.oh what's his spike?" Sunset asked. "Spike...I thought you knew that..wait what happened to your hair?" Twilight looked like Sunset,and her hair was a bit of her's and Starlight's mixed together. Twilight looks out the front door,and finds that she was still in ponyville.   "I don't understand spike,we're still in ponyville,but where are the others?" Twilight noticed a mint green pony flying by.  "Excuse  me um,can you tell me where..wait..Lighting Dust?!" Twilight looked up at Lighting Dust,and she looked like Rainbow a little bit. "Hey Twilight,how are things? Oh hi little buddy. Hey Sunset where's Trixie,and Button Belle?" Lighting asked Sunset after finishing talking to Twilight. "I don't know where they are,but is Mist Heats there too?" Asked Sunset while walking with Lighting Dust. "Yeah,hey Twilight you coming?" Asked Lighting Dust. "Um..sure,but who is Button Belle,and Mist Hearts?" Twilight asked,but a bit confused about whats going on. "Twilight don't you remember,did your mind get a bit puzzled when Queen Zecora attacked?" Sunset said as she looked at Twilight. "Wait,you mean Queen Chrysalis?" Twilight asked when she heard what Sunset said. "No..Twilight what's wrong with your head? Chrysalis is the zebra that helped Trixie defeat you."  Lighting was telling the story of Chrysalis,and at what she does,but then Sunset noticed the wings. "Twilight since when did you get wings?!" Sunset was in shock,but then one of the princesses came. "Sunset I need to find Trixie,the mirror combined....oh no it's too late....you must be Princess Twilight." A light blue alicorn comes to to the ponies. "Yes..I am..wait you're Sonata Dusk that siren who was defeated." Twilight said as she got a bit confused. "Twilight,don't be judging too quickly,in this world i'm Princess Sonata,the princess of melody,the balance of the night,and you Miss Twilight need to not judge too much,now let's go to Sugar Tooth Teacup to solve this out." Sonata was explaining what happened,and how she knew what would happen if we went in the mirror. "So..how did this happen?" Twilight asked while sitting with the gang. "I don't know Twilight,but how about you meet these 2,Button Belle,and Mist Hearts." Sonata introduces the 2 ponies to Twilight. "Oh so Suri Polamare is pinkie,and Applejack's counterpart is you..uhh...hm..I don't remember..hey Sonata you have a list?" Twilight asked as she was very very confused about what is going on. "Well..the mane-iac, Twilight..her form is from both good,and bad of the same pony.She's a special counterpart isn't she." Mist blushes,and thanks Sonata for the nice sentence,but Sonata also explains some of their ponies are a combo for some. For example Diamond Tiara,and Silver Spoon are a combo,Babs Seed,and Electric Sky are a combo. Isn't this world filled with many random items. Well then,back to the story. Sonata shows her a list of the ponies who lived in ponyville,there was the same old towns,but a different design on the map,Twilight asked if they could go to Canterlot to see who their Princess of the sun was.  "Well isn't it obvious,it's Adagio,and Aria is the Princess of Love,also Trixie's Sister in-Law if I may ad."  Sonata giggles a bit. Twilight thanks Sonata for the advice,and then Spike,and Twilight go back to the mirror,but while they were teleporting again a loud bolt of lighting was shot through the mirror that scared Twilight. When she woke up Twilight was on her floor surrounded by her friends. "Twilight you ok? We heard these thunder noises,we were scared." Said Fluttershy who was very concerned. "I'm fine Fluttershy,but the other side of the mirror..is different." Twilight replied while looking back at the mirror. The gang wondered what happened back there,so they let Twilight sit down,and explain what was on the other side. She explained that there's another world just like their's on the other side,and that somehow it combined our worlds together. Twilight went to find some books to see what could of caused this.   "Remember those sirens from that human world,well in that AU world their the princesses,so my theory is that the sirens from our world are trying to get here from this mirror,but it might be to break,so I think we should not go back to that mirror." After Twilight's theory, she used a spell to close off the mirror. "You sure it's closed off?" Asked Pinkie pie. Twilight thought she knew what she was doing,so she walked away to read some books,but Pinkie Pie got curious,and went to see if she could get through,and she did. The gang were shocked,and went in after her without telling Twilight.When the gang woke up they weren't in the castle,but in a very shiny palace,then they realize their in the Crystal Empire. After walking a long way they find the Crystal Heart,but they noticed the colors were green not blue. "Wait,this place is like an emerald castle" Rarity said. All of a sudden guards came out with spears.  "Who dares break into the empire without permission you thieves,or you working for Zercora?!" Yelled a guard,but then a calm voice came upon them. "Silver Post that isn't the way to treat ponies like that,plus Starlight is here,now all of them leave them alone." Said a beautiful light magenta alicorn. "Um,hi we used this mirror to teleport to ponyville,but we ended up here.." Said Starlight. "Oh Sonata told me what happened to the mirror,I'm Aria the Princess of Passion,nice to meet you." Aria said as she introduced herself.   Aria welcomed the group into the castle,and showed her around,she told them what was going on,and that their trying to find out what caused all this. "I believe some of her hate must of made the mirror change a bit." Said Applejack in theory. "Well she did blast us,and it hurt." Wined Rarity. "That's it..her blast of hate..quickly to Canterlot,we must warn the princesses." Said Aria has she runs out,but she let the guards warn her husband about this. Aria,and the gang rusted to Canterlot,when they got their Aria quickly explained what really happened,but back at Twilight's castle spike warned Twilight of what they did,and Twilight ran into the mirror,but she ended up in Canterlot this time. Just then she saw her friends speaking with all 3 princesses. "Guys,why didn't you listen to me,I told you the mirror is gonna crack more,and more if we don't stop going through it." Twilight roared at her friends,but Aria stopped her. "Twilight,your hurting your friends,what you've done to them made the mirror hate....your blast of hate toward your friends was so strong the mirror picked it up,and you made the Blast of Hate,now were all in danger,if you don't fix it." Aria said.    Aria showed her these 6 stones of life, Faith,Bravery,Teamwork,Support,Logic,and Love. these stones once combined make a powerful wand,once used all evil will begone,but used incorrectly all good will be lost.   "The stones are all over the world,but I know where 5 are. Sonata get the map please." Said Aria,as Sonata handed her the map. "The stones can be found in Cloudsdale,The Everfree Forest,Las Pegasus,Apple Wood,and Griffin Stone. The 6th stone was never found,so be on the look out." Sonata smiles,and wishes the gang good luck. While the gang heads to the Everfree Forest, Twilight asked Button Belle where their AU Twilight was. "You mean your AU self,or the pony in this world who has your role?" Asked Button Belle. "The pony with my role,but I do wanna know where my AU self is." Said Twilight curiously. "Oh well that's Trixie." Answered Button Belle. " HAHAH you,and Trixie switched roles." Snickered Rainbow Dash. "Well you,and Lighting Dust switched roles didn't you?" Said Twilight being a smarty pants. "To shay,but this Lighting Dust isn't a betrayal plus I made a Sonic LightRay." Said Lighting Dust,but also talking about herself. After the long trip they reached the Everfree forest,and went through the woods,but then they fall down a hole,and crash into rocks,just then a zebra with this Green hair,and emerald jewelry came up to them. " You alright you guys,watch you with your eyes." Said the zebra. "oh hi chrysalis,how are things?" Asked AU Starlight. " Going well Starlight,but the skies aren't so bright." Rhymed Chrysalis. " Oh hi,you must be AU Chrysalis,well me,and my friends are from a world like yours,and we need help finding a stone that's located here,could you help?"  Asked Twilight,after some explaining. " Ahh,so did you cast a spell,or made both worlds dwell?" Asked Chrysalis after leading them to this broken,abandoned castle. "One stone you must find,but don't fall behind."  Rhymed AU Chrysalis. Twilight thanked Chrysalis for the help,then the gang head inside. After some searching Fluttershy,and Blossom Forth find a locked chest. " I think we found it,but it's locked by a unicorn lock." Said Blossom Forth. " You need some help? " Said a blue pony. Twilight turned around to find out that AU Trixie followed them. "Hello there, I'm Trixie Lulamoon , you must be Twilight Sparkle,well my AU counterpart. Nice to meet you."
