Life of Two Worldsby Unanimous123ChaptersA New Day in the Crystal EmpireTruthfully SunsetA New DayFirst DaySunset is BackA New Day in the Crystal EmpireIt was a new day in the Crystal Empire. The pegasi had made a rainy, dark sky that completely reflected how Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash felt. After the five of them trotted into the crystal dining room they saw Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence around a table having breakfast and waiting for them. All of them stared awkwardly at each other for a while. Pinkie’s mane had lost it’s poof and was flat, Rarity’s mane looked like she had been through a tornado— clearly she didn’t get any sleep. Rainbow Dash looked like typical Rainbow Dash except for the fact that she was about to fall asleep on the table. Applejack looked devastated and Fluttershy looked as if she could cry at any minute. Princess Luna didn’t look so bad, since she was the Princess of the Night, but her eyes were blotted with tears. Princess Cadence was clearly broken-hearted as she dejected looked around the room. But strangely Princess Celestia was the only one who didn’t show much grief. The silence in the room made the atmosphere very uncomfortable as the air was heavy with unspoken grief Rainbow Dash broke the silence. “We have to find a way to open the portal. We need Twilight back.” Princess Cadence and Princess Luna both teary eyed turned to look at Princess Celestia expecting an answer. Princess Celestia shook her head. “If it was possible to keep the portal open Star swirl would have done it thousands of years ago. I think we all have to accept the fact that Princess Twilight won’t be back anytime soon.” Shock crossed the faces of all the ponies around them. It didn’t seem right for Celestia to abandon her student and another princess so easily. The Twilight’s friends thought hard for anyway that Twilight would be needed in Equestria. Rarity spoke up, “But what about the Elements of Harmony, it needs all six of us to activate.” After hearing these words five ponies looked at each other and nodded in agreement Celestia calmly replied, “My sister and I were able to activate the Elements thousands of years ago to defeat Discord. I’m sure that since Princess Twilight was able to return the sixth Element of Harmony to Equestria my sister and I will be able to wield their power once more.” Rarity looked like she was going to pass out from shock. She could swear she heard a subtle amount of malice in the princess’s word’s. Celestia sure was acting strange. Applejack opened her mouth to say something but she was cut of by Princess Celestia. “Twilight was our dearest friend, but we all have to move on now. We won’t see her for another 30 moons and she wouldn't want us to be depressed or upset about it.” The mane five looked away from each other and pondered on whether it was the right thing to do. As they looked at the walls of the crystal castle they were reminded of how all of them had worked together to save this empire and defeat King Sombra. “You can’t expect us to just forget about her!” Rainbow exclaimed, “Twilight is not dead.” “To tell the truth, it’s because of Twilight we are who we are today. I reckon’ mah farm would’ve be run by Flim and Flam if it weren’t for her help.” Celestia put on a fake look of concern as she walked over and put her wings around Rainbow Dash and Applejack. “I know my little ponies that this will be a had transition for us all. But in my time I’ve had to say goodbye to so many young fillies and colts that I held close after they had to leave, but life goes on.” All of the ponies looked at each other and were slightly shocked by how true those words were, but somehow forgetting Twilight felt wrong. “I guess we’ll have to inform Twilight’s parents and Shiny,” Princess Cadence softly said looking dejected, “I’m sure Shiny won’t take this well.” she muttered. Cadence took a scroll and quill and from a nearby table and began writing. ••• Shining Armor was on patrol in the borders of the Crystal Empire. He and his troops had just finished scouring over 300 miles of land through the rain when a scroll appeared in front of his face. Shining Armor commanded his troops to halt as he opened the scroll. Dear Shining, Three days ago a thief stole Twilight’s crown and escaped into another dimension. Twilight pursued the thief to bring back her Element of Harmony. Twilight wasn’t able to return before the portal closed, but her crown made it back. We won’t see her for another 30 moons. Love, Cadence Shining Armor looked at the scroll in disbelief. After a few moments his brain began to process the fact that he wouldn’t see Twili again in 30 moons. His troops stared bewildered as Shining Armor broke down and teleported out of sight. ••• Back at the Crystal Castle, Princess Cadence was just about to finish the letter to Twilight’s parents when Shining Armor appeared out of nowhere. He slowly trotted over to Cadence clutching the scroll tightly with his magic. Seriously he faced Cadence and pleadingly asked, “Please tell me this is a joke.” Cadence looked at Shining Amor with so much sympathy as she slowly nodded. That was all to took for Shining Armor to fall to his knees in tears. “WHY?!” he screamed, his voice echoing through the castle, “WHY?!” Shining Armor galloped to his room and broke down into tears. Cadence was heartbroken. She had never seen him look this upset. Princess Cadence headed over to Princess Celestia. “Please tell me there’s any way to get Twilight back. I don’t think Shining can handle this.” Princess Celestia shed some fake tears, “I’m sorry, there isn’t” Princess Celestia couldn’t take anymore of this. She needed to get away from there all of the tears had begun to make her feel guilty. After she spoke to Cadence, Princess Celestia slipped into an empty room. “Good Riddance, now Twilight will never be more powerful than me.” Celestia said as she let out a small chuckle. ••• Meanwhile Shining Armor's troops were soaked to the bone in the rain. The sky didn’t look like it would stop raining anytime soon. One of the soldiers asked, “Anypony know when Commander Shining Armor will be back?” The rest of the troops just shrugged. Author's Note Hi! I just want to figure out how many of you want Sunset to reform in the next chapter or not. If you have any opinions just post some reviews or send me a note. Truthfully SunsetSunset Shimmer didn’t stop running until she saw an abandoned hut in the forest. Sunset slowed her pace as her rage at Princess Twilight began to subside. Cautiously she entered the hut. Sunset looked around in the small hut. The roof was shabby, but it looked like it could handle rain. The walls were made of very old wood and there was a hole in the side that served as a window. The hut was decorated with old ornamental items and there was a cauldron filled with dry herbs. The only pice of furniture was a small wooden table with a dirty tablecloth. Sunset looked around and sighed. It was either sleeping here or outdoors. After weighing her options, Sunset took of her jacked and used it as a pillow for her head. She shivered. Guess I’ll have to use this tablecloth as a blanket, she thought to herself As Sunset walked over to pick up the tablecloth she sensed something. It felt almost magical. Sunset immediately was intrigued by the strange sensation. If it was magic, it could be used against that prissy princess who stole away her life. With out a moment’s hesitation, Sunset began to search through the small hut to find the source of this strange magic. After a few minutes Sunset ceremonious looking masks that were buried in the hut as well as some strange looking tools that were lying near the cauldron. After digging up most of the floor in the hut. Sunset decided to look inside on the cauldron. At first Sunset found many strange looking herbs, but after removing them she found four books hidden in the bottom. Sunset looked at the titles of the books Supernatural Remedies, Herbal Healing, The Truth in Life, and Dreams and Destiny. As Sunset held the booked the strange sensation she had came back stronger than before. One of these books contained magic! “If any of these books contain magic, it should be this one,” Sunset muttered as she opened up Supernatural Remedies. To her dismay the book only contained natural remedies that were super. Sunset then opened Herbal Healing and Dreams and Destiny, but her search was in vain. After a half hour of searching, Sunset finally opened The Truth in Life, and her hand felt the buzzing sensation of magic. Sunset excitedly inspected the book and found a secret opening in the binding. With her heart beating with anticipation, Sunset finally pulled out a brown rusted box with some words engraved on it. Sunset exited the hut and using the shreds of sunlight that were scattered along the forest floor she was able to make out the words. “Stone of Truth”. Sunset wondered what it could do. Maybe it could give her her true powers, or maybe it transform her into the position she deserved— an alicorn. As the possibilities swam through her head Sunset couldn’t take it and opened the box. Inside she gazed at the magical amber colored stone in front of her. Slowly she picked up the stone and she passed out. ••• Sunset found herself walking in a place that looked oddly familiar. The exquisite decor that surrounded her was made with expensive cloth and adorned with gems. Suddenly it dawned on her that she must be in Princess Celestia’s castle she looked at herself and murmured, “Strange, why am I still human.” Sunset gasped as she saw a filly version of herself preparing to take her entrance exam into Celestia’s school for gifted unicorns. She walked after her filly self and watched as her younger version cast a complex spell that made a rare plant grow. Sunset smiled remembering her amazing magical capabilities. Then her filly self turned in Sunset’s direction, but didn’t notice her. Sunset realized that she was invisible to her. Suddenly the world began to spin and she saw Princess Celestia talking to her filly self and making her a protege. Sunset could feel tears of joy rolling down her face as she remembered the amount of happiness she had that day. She followed as Celestia showed filly Sunset the crystal mirror for the first time. Sunset saw herself as an alicorn, but for a few seconds she appeared as a human. The filly looked as surprised as she felt, but Princess Celestia just dismissed it calling it a glitch. Sunset stared and pondered. The mirror had known she was going to end up in the human world, but how? She didn’t have much time to think as the world around her began to spin and Sunset found herself in the forbidden library filled with knowledge on the Crystal Mirror. Sunset used this as an opportunity to maybe find another way to use magic in the human world. Immediately, Sunset grabbed a few books on magic and began to read. She was interrupted when she heard yelling and saw herself as a young mare who was yelling at Princess Celestia. Sunset approached them just as the young mare took off running and jumped through the mirror. The world spun again and Sunset was in the front of a destroyed entrance to Canterlot High. She saw the helpless students all under her control. As a sharp laugh filled the sky, Sunset looked towards the Wondercolt’s statue and saw a demon version of herself fighting with Twilight. Sunset was slightly disappointed in her appearance she knew she looked bad as a demon, but she didn’t think she looked like that. However, Sunset was proud of her accomplishment just a few years ago she was a nobody after Celestia sent her away, but now she had power. As she smiled, monster self turned to Sunset and gave a frightening, wicked smile, “I will destroy the world.” ••• Suddenly the world went black and Sunset woke up on the forest floor. She dropped the stone on the floor. Sunset had mixed emotions. Though she was proud of her knowledge in magic. She began to fear the monster within her. As these emotions overwhelmed her, Sunset fell to her knees “What have I become?” Author's Note The chapter hasn't been made yet, but I want your opinions. Do you want Sunset's reformation to happen next or do you want her to hold a grudge for the next few chapters? I'm okay with either option, but I want your opinion, so please leave a review or something. Also it's kind of hard balancing fimfiction writing and high school, so updates will usually happen on Mondays or Fridays. Thanks for reading A New DayTwilight woke up in a strange bed in her ruined Fall Formal gown. As soon as she realized she wasn’t a pony anymore, all of last night’s memories came back to her— her crown, Sunset turning into a monster, and her not being able to go back to Equestria. The last thing she remembered was being in Flash’s car, so he must have carried her here. Wait! He carried her? She blushed. The room she was in was simply made and contained a bed, a closet and a small basket, where Spike was sleeping. Twilight easily spotted her backpack and bag of clothes that were propped up against the wall. She pulled out a blue blouse and a purple skirt and changed into them. After changing, she nudged Spike. “Spike wake up,” she began shaking the puppy, “come on, Spike wake up!” “Fine, Twilight.” Spike groaned as he stretched and got up. “So Twilight, what’s your plan?” “Since I’ll be here for a while, I might as well enroll at Canterlot High and get a job. After all, I can’t hope stay at my friends’ houses forever. I have to be able to support myself.” “I knew you’d have it planned out,” Spike said as he walked behind Twilight, “I’m just surprised you don’t have a written list yet.” “I still have to figure out how to use these,” Twilight said as she motioned as she waved her hands towards Spike. Twilight approached the door, but didn't know how to open it. Spike suggested she push the handle down, Twilight nodded and tried and then the door opened. Twilight began walking around the house. Flash’s house was middle-sized and very clean. Twilight excitedly looked at the technology that was in the house, such as the computer and TV. There was so much she could learn in this world. Twilight continued analyzing every electronic in the house until she saw accidentally walked into Flash. “Good-morning Twilight. Um..what do you want for breakfast?” Twilight blushed slightly and nervously replied, “Whatever you normally have is fine.” Flash nodded and began to cook pancakes. Twilight sat down at a chair and watched intently as he poured the batter on a pan, flipped it, and placed on a plate. He repeated the process to make a pancake for himself. “Were your parents okay with me staying here last night?” Twilight asked as Flash set a plate in front of her. “My parents are both working overseas, so I guess they won’t mind,” Flash responded as he bit into the pancake. “Do you want to stay here tonight?” Twilight looked down at her plate, realizing that she had been here without his parents permission. What if they got mad at him for letting her stay? She didn’t want him to get into trouble. Finally she stuttered out “I-I don’t think so.” Flash winced, but he could tell Twilight was getting uncomfortable, so he changed the subject, “Are you going to enroll in Canterlot High?” “I guess I’m going to have to. I can’t just rely on you and my friends to take care of me. I need to get a job and at maybe even plan a career while I’m here.” Twilight said as she ripped her pancake in half and gave it to Spike. “Do you want more?” Flash asked concerned. Twilight was hungry, but she didn’t want Flash to do more for her so she replied, “No, I’m fine.” After breakfast, Flash cleared the table and Twilight headed back to the room she slept in to get her backpack. Spike, who was following her, jumped inside Twilight’s backpack before she could protest. “Spike, I’m not supposed to bring you to Canterlot High.” Twilight said as she tried in vain to shake her ‘dog’ out of her backpack. “But Twilight,” Spike protested, “Where are you going to leave me? You can't leave me here because your not coming back later.” Twilight stopped shaking Spike and pondered over what he said. After a minute of considering her options, Twilight reluctantly allowed Spike to remain in her backpack. Twilight walked back to the kitchen and waited for Flash. While she was waiting, Twilight went into learning mode and began to analyze the electronics that were used in the kitchen. Twilight was so engrossed in learning about the kitchen she didn’t notice Flash walk in until he was in front her. “Umm…Twilight,” Flash said as he waved his hand in front of her face, snapping her out of her stupor, “we have to get to school.” Flash led Twilight outside to his parked car. He held one door open and motioned for Twilight to sit down. Twilight took off her backpack sat inside and then placed her bag on her lap. Flash closed Twilight’s door and walked to the driver’s seat of the car. he put the keys in ignition, and started doing towards the school. During the whole ride, Twilight said nothing— she was to busy analyzing how the ‘car’ worked. It was true that she was in it yesterday, but then she was consumed by too much grief to notice much. As Twilight analyzed she went into learning mode just as she had in the kitchen. After parking the car in the school parking lot he opened Twilight’s door only to see that she was staring into oblivion just as she had in the kitchen. Suddenly Twilight’s backpack opened and Spike’s head popped out. Spike saw Twilight’s blank expression and knew she had gone into ‘learning mode’. Spike grabbed Twilight’s face and shook her. “Twilight snap out of it’” Spike said concerned. “Huh…” Twilight said seeing both Flash’s confused face and Spike’s concerned one, “why are you both staring at me.” “You went into your ‘learning mode’ Twilight,” Spike said as he went back inside the backpack, “I had to snap you out of it.” “Sorry about that.” Twilight said looking embarrassed as she stepped out of the car. “No harm done,” Flash said as a slight blush formed on his cheek. He looked at Twilight who was looking back at him. When their eyes met, both looked away blushing bright red. Twilight and Flash stood in the parking lot blushing and staring at each other until the warning bell rang. This snapped both of them from their trance and Twilight said she would see him later as she walked into the building. Twilight looked around in the almost empty hallway, most of the student had already gone to their respective classrooms, allowing Twilight to hear her footsteps echoing through the empty hallway. The fact that school was still open today despite the ruined entrance amazed Twilight. Principal Celestia is a lot like Princess Celestia they both never give up Twilight thought to herself as she headed toward Principal Celestia’s office. Taking a deep breath Twilight knocked on the door and entered. Twilight almost gasped when she saw all of the papers on Principal Celestia’s desk. Principal Celestia was tired from last night’s events, but her face lit up as she saw Twilight. “Twilight Sparkle what can I do for you?” “I-I’d like to enroll here,” Twilight replied as she nervously began to rub the back of her head. Principal Celestia felt honored— this girl was a Princess from another dimension and she wanted to enroll at her school. “Since your not from here we’ll have to make some fake papers” Principal Celestia said as she went on her computer and printed out a schedule and a map of the campus, “ but other than that you're all set.” Principal Celestia said as she handed Twilight the schedule and a school map. Author's Note If you have any ideas please post them. I may incorporate them in the story. Keep reading First DayTwilight looked at her schedule. On the top of the paper was her locker location and her combination. “Locker 453 in the west wing” Twilight mumbled to herself as she walked across campus. Twilight peered into classrooms as she walked by, she was amazed and fascinated by the fact it was possible to do so much without magic. She sighted happily as she finally reached her locker. Twilight stared at her combination in confusion. On the paper, it said her code was 3-29-4 but the lock looked something like a clock. How was she supposed to open this thing? At first Twilight tried rotating the lock clockwise and then counter-clockwise, but nothing worked. Spike poked his head out of Twilight’s backpack for fresh air. After all it was getting cramped inside a stuffy backpack. When he saw Twilight frantically attempting to unlock her locker, he jumped out of the backpack and went up to her. “Twilight do you need help opening that?” Spike asked with concern as he eyed the mechanism that was keeping Twilight's locker shut. Twilight froze, looked at him and then nodded slowly. That was all it took for Spike to pounce and bit down as hard as he could on the metal mechanism, and jump back in surprise. “Ow! That hurt” Spike moaned as he used his paw to run his aching teeth. Twilight groaned as she again tried to get the lock open. Finally she admitted defeat and slumped down against her locker. 40 minutes later sat a tired Twilight next to her unopened locker. Twilight looked at her schedule dejectedly, “I was supposed to be in history class.” Just then the bell rang signaling that the first class of the day was over. After the bell, hundreds of students rushed out into the hallway to either go to their lockers or their next class. Twilight sat and watched until a soft voice asked, “Do you need any help?” Twilight turned and looked at the source of the voice. She smiled, it was Fluttershy. Twilight nodded and showed Fluttershy her locker combination. Fluttershy looked at it and with a quick twist of the wrist, the locker was open. Twilight’s jaw dropped, “How did you do that?!” Fluttershy hid behind her hair, “After being in high school for over two years, I guess you kind of get used to it.” Twilight nodded and quickly grabbed her heavy textbooks from her locker. Twilight was about to put the books in her backpack when Spike interrupted her. “Twilight, if you put your books here where am I going to stay?” Twilight pondered over what Spike had said and looked at her bag. It couldn’t possibly fit everything. Fluttershy spoke up quietly, “If it’s okay with you, Spike could stay at my house while you’re at school.” Twilight thought about this for a few seconds. After all, this was Fluttershy, in Equestria no other pony was more caring, kind, and gentle. And if this Fluttershy was anything like her pony counterpart Spike would be fine. Right? Twilight agreed with Fluttershy’s idea and then she realized that since she didn’t really know how to use the lock on her locker, so she would have to carry all her books by hand. The lavender princess put on her backpack and stacked the books in her hands. Twilight wasn’t exactly to most athletic student, so she staggered from the weight pushing her down. Unfortunately for her, The books were just thick enough so she couldn’t clearly see over her pile. Twilight quickly devised a plan for her to see where she was going. She asked Spike to tell her where to go. Spike quickly pulled out Twilight’s schedule and began to direct her to her English class. When they arrived in from of the classroom, Spike retreated to the bottom of Twilight’s backpack. Twilight took a deep breath and entered the room. “You must be the new girl” Ms. Cheerilee smiled as she motioned for Twilight to take a seat. Twilight looked around the classroom and saw Rarity in the back of the classroom busy adjusting her hair. Twilight smiled. Typical Rarity. “Okay class, today we are going to have a pop quiz on the functions of proper grammar in a sentence.” Ms. Cheerilee smiled brightly as the class groaned. Her gaze softened as she looked at Twilight energetic face. “Good luck,” she said as she began to pass out test papers to everyone. As soon as Twilight looked at her test, she knew she was going to ace it. This world and Equestria used the same language and it was well taught to Twilight from the numerous books she read. Twilight picked up her pen, put it in her mouth, and began writing answers down. While writing, Twilight tried the ignore the confused glance Ms. Cheerilee and other classmates were giving her … ••• When lunch finally arrived Twilight grabbed an apple, salad, and a glass of water before taking a seat beside her friends. Twilight made sure not to make the mistake she made with Fluttershy, and picked up her apple with her hands before biting into it. Her friends were doing usual chitter-chatter about boys, sports, and etcetera. Twilight knew she didn’t have much to gossip about, so she decided to finish eating and head over to the library to read and study. “Twilight, darling, where are you going?” Rarity asked as Twilight got out of her seat. “I’m heading over to the library. Need to figure out how to write with these” Twilight said as she waved her hands in front of her. ••• Twilight spent the rest of lunch reading and practicing her writing skills. She had improved from barely legible writing to sloppy, but understandable. The bell soon rang for Twilight’s next class, and she ran over to her science classroom. Twilight stopped in surprise when she saw who was teaching. It was no one other than Dr. Whooves. Dr. Whooves was a super-smart teacher who was only 17 years old. He had been able to skip most of his schooling and get into college at just 11 years old. “Ah, you must be Miss Twilight. Take a seat,” Dr. Whooves said as he glanced at Twilight before turning his attention back to the chalkboard. Twilight looked around for a place to sit and saw that the only open spot was next to Flash. Twilight sat down but she couldn’t focus on a thing. She couldn’t stop glancing over at Flash, who was right next to her. Occasionally he would look back at her, and when their eyes met, they would blush from embarrassment and look away. This cycle kept repeating itself until, Dr. Whooves interrupted them with, “Mr. Sentry, can you please stop starring at the girl next to you.” At that comment the whole class snickered at the two of them and Twilight hid her face in a book from embarrassment. This was going to be a long class… Author's Note Sorry it took so long to upload. I was busy writing and expository essay on Romeo and Juliet. Sunset is BackSunset had spent three days fending for herself out in the woods. Alone. As the scattered sunlight shone around the forest. She could hear the peaceful sounds of birds, animals, and her growling stomach. Sunset sighed and went into deep thought. Her jacket was ripped and she smelled from not taking a bath. Her hair looked like she survived a tornado and it didn’t help that she was as hungry as hell. She would have gladly gone to get food if her secret stash of money and gems from Equestria wasn’t hidden at Canterlot High. She knew it was only a matter of time before her body shut down and she would not be able to function anymore. Plus she was tired of living outside. Closing her eyes Sunset carefully evaluated her options. A. Return to canterlot high, B. Stay in the forest and starve. Sunset slumped against the fragile wall behind her. She really just did have one option. Return to Canterlot High. But what about that princess, Sunset thought, I have to get back at her for ruining me and making me live in this forest anyway. Sunset pondered for a way to return to Canterlot High and not look like a loser in the process. She could fulfill her promise on destroying the school, but she didn’t have any magic other than a weird rock that kept making her relive her past. Sunset looked at the box with the rock in the corner of the hut, Yeah, that wouldn’t be helping her here. Inadvertently Sunset found her thoughts drifting over to the prissy princess who caused this mess for her in the first place. It was all because of that Twilight Sparkle that Celestia wouldn’t make me an alicorn. That stupid unicorn replaced me and took everything that should have been mine. In addition to that, Twilight is the ‘princess of friendship’ I bet she doesn’t know how it feels to be betrayed by her best friend or mentor, Sunset sulked. “That’s it!” Sunset said standing up with newfound confidence, “Twilight doesn't know the pain of losing someone close to you. Twilight doesn’t know how it feels to be betrayed. But she’ll learn. She’ll learn after I betray her.” ••• Twilight had a rough night sleeping in the library. She wish she had slept at Flash’s or one of her friend’s house. Then she pushed that thought out of her mind “You are not their responsibility, Twilight,” she said to herself, “they have their own families and lives. I can’t just expect them to drop everything and take in someone they just met a few days ago even if we are friends.” Twilight looked at the clock. There was around 40 minutes before school started. “Great,” Twilight said, “just enough time to drop Spike of at Fluttershy’s house. Speaking of which, Where is Fluttershy’s house?” Twilight flipped through the yearbook behind, looking for any information on where Fluttershy could possible live. Unfortunately her search was in vain because addresses are not printed in a yearbook. Twilight sighed and woke up Spike. Spike stretched and yawned before walking up to Twilight, giving her a confused look, and hopping into the open backpack Twilight put down for him to get into. “I though you were going to take me to Fluttershy’s house?” Spike asked perplexed. Twilight put on a nervous smile, “Well, I was going to, but I don’t know where she lives or anything.” Spike rolled his eyes and nodded before ducking down into her backpack. Twilight was just exiting the library when a voice startled her. “Um. Hi Twilight, I kind of forgot to give you my address, so I came early to pick up Spike. I-if that’s okay with you,” Fluttershy asked meekly while extending her hands out for Spike. Twilight blinked and smiled, “That would be perfect,” she responded before looking at Spike, “go on boy.” Spike leaped from Twilight’s backpack onto an awaiting Fluttershy, who pulled out a dog biscuit and gave it to a very happy Spike. “Thanks, Fluttershy,” Twilight said as the light-pink-haired girl walked off campus towards her house. Twilight suppressed a giggle as she saw Spike munching on another dog biscuit in the distance. She had a pretty good feeling Fluttershy and Spike would definitely get along. Twilight looked back at the clock. She still had a half-hour before she needed to start her first class. Twilight looked at the empty hallways and decided to go outside for a walk to get some fresh air. Twilight was walking around the front of the school enjoying the beautiful scenery of flowers and trees when she heard voice calling her name. Twilight quickly turned, scanning the area for any possible person who could be calling her name. “Twilight” the raspy voice called again, but it was closer. Twilight looked towards the Wondercolt statue and gasped at what she saw. There was a broken looking Sunset with a ripped jacket and dirt all over her tangled mess of hair. Twilight momentarily forgot that Sunset was the reason she was stuck in this world in the first place and walked over to her. “Sunset, are you okay? What happened?” Sunset was momentarily shocked by how concerned Twilight was for her. Getting close to Twilight and backstabbing her was going to be too easy. Sunset couldn’t believe Princess Celestia replaced her with someone so…gullible. Sunset internally couldn’t believe her luck and that it was possible for someone to be this forgiving. Sunset just shook her head and in the raspiest voice she could muster said, “I’m sorry.” Twilight looked at Sunset with soft eyes and a genuine smile, “It’s okay. Do you need anything? I let Principal Celestia know your back. I’m sure she’ll forgive you. Do you need a shower or anything…,” Twilight rambled off as she led Sunset back into the partially damaged school. They stopped in front of Principal Celestia’s office, “You wait out here while I go talk to her,” Twilight said smiling. As soon as Twilight was out of earshot Sunset couldn’t help letting out a chuckle, “Gullible, so gullible.” Author's Note What do you think? Well the next chapter introduces the Dazzlings, but they are on low profile at least for now.
A New Day in the Crystal EmpireIt was a new day in the Crystal Empire. The pegasi had made a rainy, dark sky that completely reflected how Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash felt. After the five of them trotted into the crystal dining room they saw Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence around a table having breakfast and waiting for them. All of them stared awkwardly at each other for a while. Pinkie’s mane had lost it’s poof and was flat, Rarity’s mane looked like she had been through a tornado— clearly she didn’t get any sleep. Rainbow Dash looked like typical Rainbow Dash except for the fact that she was about to fall asleep on the table. Applejack looked devastated and Fluttershy looked as if she could cry at any minute. Princess Luna didn’t look so bad, since she was the Princess of the Night, but her eyes were blotted with tears. Princess Cadence was clearly broken-hearted as she dejected looked around the room. But strangely Princess Celestia was the only one who didn’t show much grief. The silence in the room made the atmosphere very uncomfortable as the air was heavy with unspoken grief Rainbow Dash broke the silence. “We have to find a way to open the portal. We need Twilight back.” Princess Cadence and Princess Luna both teary eyed turned to look at Princess Celestia expecting an answer. Princess Celestia shook her head. “If it was possible to keep the portal open Star swirl would have done it thousands of years ago. I think we all have to accept the fact that Princess Twilight won’t be back anytime soon.” Shock crossed the faces of all the ponies around them. It didn’t seem right for Celestia to abandon her student and another princess so easily. The Twilight’s friends thought hard for anyway that Twilight would be needed in Equestria. Rarity spoke up, “But what about the Elements of Harmony, it needs all six of us to activate.” After hearing these words five ponies looked at each other and nodded in agreement Celestia calmly replied, “My sister and I were able to activate the Elements thousands of years ago to defeat Discord. I’m sure that since Princess Twilight was able to return the sixth Element of Harmony to Equestria my sister and I will be able to wield their power once more.” Rarity looked like she was going to pass out from shock. She could swear she heard a subtle amount of malice in the princess’s word’s. Celestia sure was acting strange. Applejack opened her mouth to say something but she was cut of by Princess Celestia. “Twilight was our dearest friend, but we all have to move on now. We won’t see her for another 30 moons and she wouldn't want us to be depressed or upset about it.” The mane five looked away from each other and pondered on whether it was the right thing to do. As they looked at the walls of the crystal castle they were reminded of how all of them had worked together to save this empire and defeat King Sombra. “You can’t expect us to just forget about her!” Rainbow exclaimed, “Twilight is not dead.” “To tell the truth, it’s because of Twilight we are who we are today. I reckon’ mah farm would’ve be run by Flim and Flam if it weren’t for her help.” Celestia put on a fake look of concern as she walked over and put her wings around Rainbow Dash and Applejack. “I know my little ponies that this will be a had transition for us all. But in my time I’ve had to say goodbye to so many young fillies and colts that I held close after they had to leave, but life goes on.” All of the ponies looked at each other and were slightly shocked by how true those words were, but somehow forgetting Twilight felt wrong. “I guess we’ll have to inform Twilight’s parents and Shiny,” Princess Cadence softly said looking dejected, “I’m sure Shiny won’t take this well.” she muttered. Cadence took a scroll and quill and from a nearby table and began writing. ••• Shining Armor was on patrol in the borders of the Crystal Empire. He and his troops had just finished scouring over 300 miles of land through the rain when a scroll appeared in front of his face. Shining Armor commanded his troops to halt as he opened the scroll. Dear Shining, Three days ago a thief stole Twilight’s crown and escaped into another dimension. Twilight pursued the thief to bring back her Element of Harmony. Twilight wasn’t able to return before the portal closed, but her crown made it back. We won’t see her for another 30 moons. Love, Cadence Shining Armor looked at the scroll in disbelief. After a few moments his brain began to process the fact that he wouldn’t see Twili again in 30 moons. His troops stared bewildered as Shining Armor broke down and teleported out of sight. ••• Back at the Crystal Castle, Princess Cadence was just about to finish the letter to Twilight’s parents when Shining Armor appeared out of nowhere. He slowly trotted over to Cadence clutching the scroll tightly with his magic. Seriously he faced Cadence and pleadingly asked, “Please tell me this is a joke.” Cadence looked at Shining Amor with so much sympathy as she slowly nodded. That was all to took for Shining Armor to fall to his knees in tears. “WHY?!” he screamed, his voice echoing through the castle, “WHY?!” Shining Armor galloped to his room and broke down into tears. Cadence was heartbroken. She had never seen him look this upset. Princess Cadence headed over to Princess Celestia. “Please tell me there’s any way to get Twilight back. I don’t think Shining can handle this.” Princess Celestia shed some fake tears, “I’m sorry, there isn’t” Princess Celestia couldn’t take anymore of this. She needed to get away from there all of the tears had begun to make her feel guilty. After she spoke to Cadence, Princess Celestia slipped into an empty room. “Good Riddance, now Twilight will never be more powerful than me.” Celestia said as she let out a small chuckle. ••• Meanwhile Shining Armor's troops were soaked to the bone in the rain. The sky didn’t look like it would stop raining anytime soon. One of the soldiers asked, “Anypony know when Commander Shining Armor will be back?” The rest of the troops just shrugged. Author's Note Hi! I just want to figure out how many of you want Sunset to reform in the next chapter or not. If you have any opinions just post some reviews or send me a note.
Truthfully SunsetSunset Shimmer didn’t stop running until she saw an abandoned hut in the forest. Sunset slowed her pace as her rage at Princess Twilight began to subside. Cautiously she entered the hut. Sunset looked around in the small hut. The roof was shabby, but it looked like it could handle rain. The walls were made of very old wood and there was a hole in the side that served as a window. The hut was decorated with old ornamental items and there was a cauldron filled with dry herbs. The only pice of furniture was a small wooden table with a dirty tablecloth. Sunset looked around and sighed. It was either sleeping here or outdoors. After weighing her options, Sunset took of her jacked and used it as a pillow for her head. She shivered. Guess I’ll have to use this tablecloth as a blanket, she thought to herself As Sunset walked over to pick up the tablecloth she sensed something. It felt almost magical. Sunset immediately was intrigued by the strange sensation. If it was magic, it could be used against that prissy princess who stole away her life. With out a moment’s hesitation, Sunset began to search through the small hut to find the source of this strange magic. After a few minutes Sunset ceremonious looking masks that were buried in the hut as well as some strange looking tools that were lying near the cauldron. After digging up most of the floor in the hut. Sunset decided to look inside on the cauldron. At first Sunset found many strange looking herbs, but after removing them she found four books hidden in the bottom. Sunset looked at the titles of the books Supernatural Remedies, Herbal Healing, The Truth in Life, and Dreams and Destiny. As Sunset held the booked the strange sensation she had came back stronger than before. One of these books contained magic! “If any of these books contain magic, it should be this one,” Sunset muttered as she opened up Supernatural Remedies. To her dismay the book only contained natural remedies that were super. Sunset then opened Herbal Healing and Dreams and Destiny, but her search was in vain. After a half hour of searching, Sunset finally opened The Truth in Life, and her hand felt the buzzing sensation of magic. Sunset excitedly inspected the book and found a secret opening in the binding. With her heart beating with anticipation, Sunset finally pulled out a brown rusted box with some words engraved on it. Sunset exited the hut and using the shreds of sunlight that were scattered along the forest floor she was able to make out the words. “Stone of Truth”. Sunset wondered what it could do. Maybe it could give her her true powers, or maybe it transform her into the position she deserved— an alicorn. As the possibilities swam through her head Sunset couldn’t take it and opened the box. Inside she gazed at the magical amber colored stone in front of her. Slowly she picked up the stone and she passed out. ••• Sunset found herself walking in a place that looked oddly familiar. The exquisite decor that surrounded her was made with expensive cloth and adorned with gems. Suddenly it dawned on her that she must be in Princess Celestia’s castle she looked at herself and murmured, “Strange, why am I still human.” Sunset gasped as she saw a filly version of herself preparing to take her entrance exam into Celestia’s school for gifted unicorns. She walked after her filly self and watched as her younger version cast a complex spell that made a rare plant grow. Sunset smiled remembering her amazing magical capabilities. Then her filly self turned in Sunset’s direction, but didn’t notice her. Sunset realized that she was invisible to her. Suddenly the world began to spin and she saw Princess Celestia talking to her filly self and making her a protege. Sunset could feel tears of joy rolling down her face as she remembered the amount of happiness she had that day. She followed as Celestia showed filly Sunset the crystal mirror for the first time. Sunset saw herself as an alicorn, but for a few seconds she appeared as a human. The filly looked as surprised as she felt, but Princess Celestia just dismissed it calling it a glitch. Sunset stared and pondered. The mirror had known she was going to end up in the human world, but how? She didn’t have much time to think as the world around her began to spin and Sunset found herself in the forbidden library filled with knowledge on the Crystal Mirror. Sunset used this as an opportunity to maybe find another way to use magic in the human world. Immediately, Sunset grabbed a few books on magic and began to read. She was interrupted when she heard yelling and saw herself as a young mare who was yelling at Princess Celestia. Sunset approached them just as the young mare took off running and jumped through the mirror. The world spun again and Sunset was in the front of a destroyed entrance to Canterlot High. She saw the helpless students all under her control. As a sharp laugh filled the sky, Sunset looked towards the Wondercolt’s statue and saw a demon version of herself fighting with Twilight. Sunset was slightly disappointed in her appearance she knew she looked bad as a demon, but she didn’t think she looked like that. However, Sunset was proud of her accomplishment just a few years ago she was a nobody after Celestia sent her away, but now she had power. As she smiled, monster self turned to Sunset and gave a frightening, wicked smile, “I will destroy the world.” ••• Suddenly the world went black and Sunset woke up on the forest floor. She dropped the stone on the floor. Sunset had mixed emotions. Though she was proud of her knowledge in magic. She began to fear the monster within her. As these emotions overwhelmed her, Sunset fell to her knees “What have I become?” Author's Note The chapter hasn't been made yet, but I want your opinions. Do you want Sunset's reformation to happen next or do you want her to hold a grudge for the next few chapters? I'm okay with either option, but I want your opinion, so please leave a review or something. Also it's kind of hard balancing fimfiction writing and high school, so updates will usually happen on Mondays or Fridays. Thanks for reading
A New DayTwilight woke up in a strange bed in her ruined Fall Formal gown. As soon as she realized she wasn’t a pony anymore, all of last night’s memories came back to her— her crown, Sunset turning into a monster, and her not being able to go back to Equestria. The last thing she remembered was being in Flash’s car, so he must have carried her here. Wait! He carried her? She blushed. The room she was in was simply made and contained a bed, a closet and a small basket, where Spike was sleeping. Twilight easily spotted her backpack and bag of clothes that were propped up against the wall. She pulled out a blue blouse and a purple skirt and changed into them. After changing, she nudged Spike. “Spike wake up,” she began shaking the puppy, “come on, Spike wake up!” “Fine, Twilight.” Spike groaned as he stretched and got up. “So Twilight, what’s your plan?” “Since I’ll be here for a while, I might as well enroll at Canterlot High and get a job. After all, I can’t hope stay at my friends’ houses forever. I have to be able to support myself.” “I knew you’d have it planned out,” Spike said as he walked behind Twilight, “I’m just surprised you don’t have a written list yet.” “I still have to figure out how to use these,” Twilight said as she motioned as she waved her hands towards Spike. Twilight approached the door, but didn't know how to open it. Spike suggested she push the handle down, Twilight nodded and tried and then the door opened. Twilight began walking around the house. Flash’s house was middle-sized and very clean. Twilight excitedly looked at the technology that was in the house, such as the computer and TV. There was so much she could learn in this world. Twilight continued analyzing every electronic in the house until she saw accidentally walked into Flash. “Good-morning Twilight. Um..what do you want for breakfast?” Twilight blushed slightly and nervously replied, “Whatever you normally have is fine.” Flash nodded and began to cook pancakes. Twilight sat down at a chair and watched intently as he poured the batter on a pan, flipped it, and placed on a plate. He repeated the process to make a pancake for himself. “Were your parents okay with me staying here last night?” Twilight asked as Flash set a plate in front of her. “My parents are both working overseas, so I guess they won’t mind,” Flash responded as he bit into the pancake. “Do you want to stay here tonight?” Twilight looked down at her plate, realizing that she had been here without his parents permission. What if they got mad at him for letting her stay? She didn’t want him to get into trouble. Finally she stuttered out “I-I don’t think so.” Flash winced, but he could tell Twilight was getting uncomfortable, so he changed the subject, “Are you going to enroll in Canterlot High?” “I guess I’m going to have to. I can’t just rely on you and my friends to take care of me. I need to get a job and at maybe even plan a career while I’m here.” Twilight said as she ripped her pancake in half and gave it to Spike. “Do you want more?” Flash asked concerned. Twilight was hungry, but she didn’t want Flash to do more for her so she replied, “No, I’m fine.” After breakfast, Flash cleared the table and Twilight headed back to the room she slept in to get her backpack. Spike, who was following her, jumped inside Twilight’s backpack before she could protest. “Spike, I’m not supposed to bring you to Canterlot High.” Twilight said as she tried in vain to shake her ‘dog’ out of her backpack. “But Twilight,” Spike protested, “Where are you going to leave me? You can't leave me here because your not coming back later.” Twilight stopped shaking Spike and pondered over what he said. After a minute of considering her options, Twilight reluctantly allowed Spike to remain in her backpack. Twilight walked back to the kitchen and waited for Flash. While she was waiting, Twilight went into learning mode and began to analyze the electronics that were used in the kitchen. Twilight was so engrossed in learning about the kitchen she didn’t notice Flash walk in until he was in front her. “Umm…Twilight,” Flash said as he waved his hand in front of her face, snapping her out of her stupor, “we have to get to school.” Flash led Twilight outside to his parked car. He held one door open and motioned for Twilight to sit down. Twilight took off her backpack sat inside and then placed her bag on her lap. Flash closed Twilight’s door and walked to the driver’s seat of the car. he put the keys in ignition, and started doing towards the school. During the whole ride, Twilight said nothing— she was to busy analyzing how the ‘car’ worked. It was true that she was in it yesterday, but then she was consumed by too much grief to notice much. As Twilight analyzed she went into learning mode just as she had in the kitchen. After parking the car in the school parking lot he opened Twilight’s door only to see that she was staring into oblivion just as she had in the kitchen. Suddenly Twilight’s backpack opened and Spike’s head popped out. Spike saw Twilight’s blank expression and knew she had gone into ‘learning mode’. Spike grabbed Twilight’s face and shook her. “Twilight snap out of it’” Spike said concerned. “Huh…” Twilight said seeing both Flash’s confused face and Spike’s concerned one, “why are you both staring at me.” “You went into your ‘learning mode’ Twilight,” Spike said as he went back inside the backpack, “I had to snap you out of it.” “Sorry about that.” Twilight said looking embarrassed as she stepped out of the car. “No harm done,” Flash said as a slight blush formed on his cheek. He looked at Twilight who was looking back at him. When their eyes met, both looked away blushing bright red. Twilight and Flash stood in the parking lot blushing and staring at each other until the warning bell rang. This snapped both of them from their trance and Twilight said she would see him later as she walked into the building. Twilight looked around in the almost empty hallway, most of the student had already gone to their respective classrooms, allowing Twilight to hear her footsteps echoing through the empty hallway. The fact that school was still open today despite the ruined entrance amazed Twilight. Principal Celestia is a lot like Princess Celestia they both never give up Twilight thought to herself as she headed toward Principal Celestia’s office. Taking a deep breath Twilight knocked on the door and entered. Twilight almost gasped when she saw all of the papers on Principal Celestia’s desk. Principal Celestia was tired from last night’s events, but her face lit up as she saw Twilight. “Twilight Sparkle what can I do for you?” “I-I’d like to enroll here,” Twilight replied as she nervously began to rub the back of her head. Principal Celestia felt honored— this girl was a Princess from another dimension and she wanted to enroll at her school. “Since your not from here we’ll have to make some fake papers” Principal Celestia said as she went on her computer and printed out a schedule and a map of the campus, “ but other than that you're all set.” Principal Celestia said as she handed Twilight the schedule and a school map. Author's Note If you have any ideas please post them. I may incorporate them in the story. Keep reading
First DayTwilight looked at her schedule. On the top of the paper was her locker location and her combination. “Locker 453 in the west wing” Twilight mumbled to herself as she walked across campus. Twilight peered into classrooms as she walked by, she was amazed and fascinated by the fact it was possible to do so much without magic. She sighted happily as she finally reached her locker. Twilight stared at her combination in confusion. On the paper, it said her code was 3-29-4 but the lock looked something like a clock. How was she supposed to open this thing? At first Twilight tried rotating the lock clockwise and then counter-clockwise, but nothing worked. Spike poked his head out of Twilight’s backpack for fresh air. After all it was getting cramped inside a stuffy backpack. When he saw Twilight frantically attempting to unlock her locker, he jumped out of the backpack and went up to her. “Twilight do you need help opening that?” Spike asked with concern as he eyed the mechanism that was keeping Twilight's locker shut. Twilight froze, looked at him and then nodded slowly. That was all it took for Spike to pounce and bit down as hard as he could on the metal mechanism, and jump back in surprise. “Ow! That hurt” Spike moaned as he used his paw to run his aching teeth. Twilight groaned as she again tried to get the lock open. Finally she admitted defeat and slumped down against her locker. 40 minutes later sat a tired Twilight next to her unopened locker. Twilight looked at her schedule dejectedly, “I was supposed to be in history class.” Just then the bell rang signaling that the first class of the day was over. After the bell, hundreds of students rushed out into the hallway to either go to their lockers or their next class. Twilight sat and watched until a soft voice asked, “Do you need any help?” Twilight turned and looked at the source of the voice. She smiled, it was Fluttershy. Twilight nodded and showed Fluttershy her locker combination. Fluttershy looked at it and with a quick twist of the wrist, the locker was open. Twilight’s jaw dropped, “How did you do that?!” Fluttershy hid behind her hair, “After being in high school for over two years, I guess you kind of get used to it.” Twilight nodded and quickly grabbed her heavy textbooks from her locker. Twilight was about to put the books in her backpack when Spike interrupted her. “Twilight, if you put your books here where am I going to stay?” Twilight pondered over what Spike had said and looked at her bag. It couldn’t possibly fit everything. Fluttershy spoke up quietly, “If it’s okay with you, Spike could stay at my house while you’re at school.” Twilight thought about this for a few seconds. After all, this was Fluttershy, in Equestria no other pony was more caring, kind, and gentle. And if this Fluttershy was anything like her pony counterpart Spike would be fine. Right? Twilight agreed with Fluttershy’s idea and then she realized that since she didn’t really know how to use the lock on her locker, so she would have to carry all her books by hand. The lavender princess put on her backpack and stacked the books in her hands. Twilight wasn’t exactly to most athletic student, so she staggered from the weight pushing her down. Unfortunately for her, The books were just thick enough so she couldn’t clearly see over her pile. Twilight quickly devised a plan for her to see where she was going. She asked Spike to tell her where to go. Spike quickly pulled out Twilight’s schedule and began to direct her to her English class. When they arrived in from of the classroom, Spike retreated to the bottom of Twilight’s backpack. Twilight took a deep breath and entered the room. “You must be the new girl” Ms. Cheerilee smiled as she motioned for Twilight to take a seat. Twilight looked around the classroom and saw Rarity in the back of the classroom busy adjusting her hair. Twilight smiled. Typical Rarity. “Okay class, today we are going to have a pop quiz on the functions of proper grammar in a sentence.” Ms. Cheerilee smiled brightly as the class groaned. Her gaze softened as she looked at Twilight energetic face. “Good luck,” she said as she began to pass out test papers to everyone. As soon as Twilight looked at her test, she knew she was going to ace it. This world and Equestria used the same language and it was well taught to Twilight from the numerous books she read. Twilight picked up her pen, put it in her mouth, and began writing answers down. While writing, Twilight tried the ignore the confused glance Ms. Cheerilee and other classmates were giving her … ••• When lunch finally arrived Twilight grabbed an apple, salad, and a glass of water before taking a seat beside her friends. Twilight made sure not to make the mistake she made with Fluttershy, and picked up her apple with her hands before biting into it. Her friends were doing usual chitter-chatter about boys, sports, and etcetera. Twilight knew she didn’t have much to gossip about, so she decided to finish eating and head over to the library to read and study. “Twilight, darling, where are you going?” Rarity asked as Twilight got out of her seat. “I’m heading over to the library. Need to figure out how to write with these” Twilight said as she waved her hands in front of her. ••• Twilight spent the rest of lunch reading and practicing her writing skills. She had improved from barely legible writing to sloppy, but understandable. The bell soon rang for Twilight’s next class, and she ran over to her science classroom. Twilight stopped in surprise when she saw who was teaching. It was no one other than Dr. Whooves. Dr. Whooves was a super-smart teacher who was only 17 years old. He had been able to skip most of his schooling and get into college at just 11 years old. “Ah, you must be Miss Twilight. Take a seat,” Dr. Whooves said as he glanced at Twilight before turning his attention back to the chalkboard. Twilight looked around for a place to sit and saw that the only open spot was next to Flash. Twilight sat down but she couldn’t focus on a thing. She couldn’t stop glancing over at Flash, who was right next to her. Occasionally he would look back at her, and when their eyes met, they would blush from embarrassment and look away. This cycle kept repeating itself until, Dr. Whooves interrupted them with, “Mr. Sentry, can you please stop starring at the girl next to you.” At that comment the whole class snickered at the two of them and Twilight hid her face in a book from embarrassment. This was going to be a long class… Author's Note Sorry it took so long to upload. I was busy writing and expository essay on Romeo and Juliet.
Sunset is BackSunset had spent three days fending for herself out in the woods. Alone. As the scattered sunlight shone around the forest. She could hear the peaceful sounds of birds, animals, and her growling stomach. Sunset sighed and went into deep thought. Her jacket was ripped and she smelled from not taking a bath. Her hair looked like she survived a tornado and it didn’t help that she was as hungry as hell. She would have gladly gone to get food if her secret stash of money and gems from Equestria wasn’t hidden at Canterlot High. She knew it was only a matter of time before her body shut down and she would not be able to function anymore. Plus she was tired of living outside. Closing her eyes Sunset carefully evaluated her options. A. Return to canterlot high, B. Stay in the forest and starve. Sunset slumped against the fragile wall behind her. She really just did have one option. Return to Canterlot High. But what about that princess, Sunset thought, I have to get back at her for ruining me and making me live in this forest anyway. Sunset pondered for a way to return to Canterlot High and not look like a loser in the process. She could fulfill her promise on destroying the school, but she didn’t have any magic other than a weird rock that kept making her relive her past. Sunset looked at the box with the rock in the corner of the hut, Yeah, that wouldn’t be helping her here. Inadvertently Sunset found her thoughts drifting over to the prissy princess who caused this mess for her in the first place. It was all because of that Twilight Sparkle that Celestia wouldn’t make me an alicorn. That stupid unicorn replaced me and took everything that should have been mine. In addition to that, Twilight is the ‘princess of friendship’ I bet she doesn’t know how it feels to be betrayed by her best friend or mentor, Sunset sulked. “That’s it!” Sunset said standing up with newfound confidence, “Twilight doesn't know the pain of losing someone close to you. Twilight doesn’t know how it feels to be betrayed. But she’ll learn. She’ll learn after I betray her.” ••• Twilight had a rough night sleeping in the library. She wish she had slept at Flash’s or one of her friend’s house. Then she pushed that thought out of her mind “You are not their responsibility, Twilight,” she said to herself, “they have their own families and lives. I can’t just expect them to drop everything and take in someone they just met a few days ago even if we are friends.” Twilight looked at the clock. There was around 40 minutes before school started. “Great,” Twilight said, “just enough time to drop Spike of at Fluttershy’s house. Speaking of which, Where is Fluttershy’s house?” Twilight flipped through the yearbook behind, looking for any information on where Fluttershy could possible live. Unfortunately her search was in vain because addresses are not printed in a yearbook. Twilight sighed and woke up Spike. Spike stretched and yawned before walking up to Twilight, giving her a confused look, and hopping into the open backpack Twilight put down for him to get into. “I though you were going to take me to Fluttershy’s house?” Spike asked perplexed. Twilight put on a nervous smile, “Well, I was going to, but I don’t know where she lives or anything.” Spike rolled his eyes and nodded before ducking down into her backpack. Twilight was just exiting the library when a voice startled her. “Um. Hi Twilight, I kind of forgot to give you my address, so I came early to pick up Spike. I-if that’s okay with you,” Fluttershy asked meekly while extending her hands out for Spike. Twilight blinked and smiled, “That would be perfect,” she responded before looking at Spike, “go on boy.” Spike leaped from Twilight’s backpack onto an awaiting Fluttershy, who pulled out a dog biscuit and gave it to a very happy Spike. “Thanks, Fluttershy,” Twilight said as the light-pink-haired girl walked off campus towards her house. Twilight suppressed a giggle as she saw Spike munching on another dog biscuit in the distance. She had a pretty good feeling Fluttershy and Spike would definitely get along. Twilight looked back at the clock. She still had a half-hour before she needed to start her first class. Twilight looked at the empty hallways and decided to go outside for a walk to get some fresh air. Twilight was walking around the front of the school enjoying the beautiful scenery of flowers and trees when she heard voice calling her name. Twilight quickly turned, scanning the area for any possible person who could be calling her name. “Twilight” the raspy voice called again, but it was closer. Twilight looked towards the Wondercolt statue and gasped at what she saw. There was a broken looking Sunset with a ripped jacket and dirt all over her tangled mess of hair. Twilight momentarily forgot that Sunset was the reason she was stuck in this world in the first place and walked over to her. “Sunset, are you okay? What happened?” Sunset was momentarily shocked by how concerned Twilight was for her. Getting close to Twilight and backstabbing her was going to be too easy. Sunset couldn’t believe Princess Celestia replaced her with someone so…gullible. Sunset internally couldn’t believe her luck and that it was possible for someone to be this forgiving. Sunset just shook her head and in the raspiest voice she could muster said, “I’m sorry.” Twilight looked at Sunset with soft eyes and a genuine smile, “It’s okay. Do you need anything? I let Principal Celestia know your back. I’m sure she’ll forgive you. Do you need a shower or anything…,” Twilight rambled off as she led Sunset back into the partially damaged school. They stopped in front of Principal Celestia’s office, “You wait out here while I go talk to her,” Twilight said smiling. As soon as Twilight was out of earshot Sunset couldn’t help letting out a chuckle, “Gullible, so gullible.” Author's Note What do you think? Well the next chapter introduces the Dazzlings, but they are on low profile at least for now.
