Friendship Games March 14th 4pm

Rose and sunset were at home relaxing and thinking about the future when they heard a text message from Rainbow come in. thinking it might be something important they looked at their phones and read to each other their texts. Important. Meet me at C.H.S. ASAP. RD. Worried they grabbed their purses and left for the school arriving fifteen minutes later. Upon arriving Sunset gasps out and said “I got your text Rainbow Dash. did something come through the portal? Is Equestrian magic on the loose again? Has princess Twilight come through the portal with a problem only we can solve?”

Before Sunset could continue Pinkie interrupted her saying “ Has a giant cake monster covered all the cakes in the world with cake?”

Rainbow looking sheepish answers “uhh, not exactly.”

A.J then walks over and says “ I was just tellin Rainbow Dash that a broken guitar string isn’t classified as an emergency.”

Rainbow getting defensive says “it totally does.”

Rarity frustrated at Rainbows actions says “really Rainbow Dash. I was in the middle of sewing a very complicated applique on my latest frock. I’m not happy about it Rainbow Dash.”

Fluttershy wanting to let Rainbow now what she was doing informs her by saying “and I was just about to put all the animals in the shelter down for a nap. Now i will have to start stories all over again”
Sunset curious asks “Why would you send all of us an emergency text for a guitar string? It doesn’t make any sense right hun?” as sunset finishes talking she looks at Rose for a response.

Rose nods and answers “ you are right hun it doesn’t make sense.”

Rainbow looking cocky says “ I was going to pony up and show our fans some awesome guitar riffs. However I kind of need all six strings to do so. Does anybody have one?”

Sunset looks at Rainbow and says while pulling out a spare string “here you go .but i am pretty sure all the students are done practising for the day. In that case all the music rooms should be locked.”

Rainbow takes the string and while attaching it says “No problem. The halls are perfect for power cords. Come on let's go.” As everybody but Sunset and Rose starts to go in A.J asks “ are y'all comin.”

Sunset looks at Rose then at A.J and says we’ll be there in a bit.” Once A.j went inside Sunset and Rose sit down and write a message to Twilight saying “Dear Princess Twilight. How's life in Equestria. Learn any new magic. it’s been pretty quiet here at C.H.S since the battle of the bands. We still pony up whenever we play music which Rainbow Dash just loves to show off. I still can’t quite grasp why it happens at all. Your friends Sunset and Rose.”

As Sunset is writing Rose sees a figure approach C.H.S thinking it is just a stranger looking for a teacher Rose ignores it until she sees her approach the statue. Rose nudges Sunset and points to the figure who pulls out a strange looking device and points it at the portal. Sunset screams at the person and says “Hey , what are you doing?” Rose being the faster one of the two uses her magic to get ahead of the figure while Sunset chases after. As Rose appears in front of the figure she sees that the person is Twilight Sparkle from this world. So in order to be nice to the girl Rose stops Sunset from chasing after her.

Once the girl was gone Sunset turns to Rose and asks “ who was that hun” Rose looks Sunset in the eyes and says “Twilight Sparkle of this world. She's not the one we know. But I know for a fact that she will be at the friendship games in two days. I have a feeling she was investigating the magic at C.H.S because the device she had reacted to the portal. I think we should let the girls know tomorrow during free period. However we shouldn’t tell them that it was Twilight or that she was investigating the portal. It’s just too risky. What do you think honey pie”

Sunset thinks for a moment before saying “ as much as I would like to warn them you are right.” now with everything taken care of the couple walks home hand in hand.

The next day passes quickly until all the girls finally gather together in the library during free period. Immediately Sunset tells the girls most of what happened the night before. As Sunset finishes telling the girls what happened Fluttershy asks “do you think it was another magical creature from Equestria?”

Shaking her head sunset answers “ no I think I would’ve noticed something like that. I think she was from this world” Applejack sighs in relief and says “ well that's great. The last thing we need is another magical so and so trying for world domination.”

Rarity says while leaning against the bookshelf “I have no desire to fight another battle against dark magic. The wear and tear to my wardrobe is just to much to keep up with.”

Rainbow dash pokes out from behind a bookshelf and says “ you all are so wrong . I think I know who it was.” Pinkie interrupts Rainbow saying “ooh ooh was it a night time statue cleaner, a magical portal maintenance worker or a gardner?”

Sighing Rainbow says “Considering they got off a bus from the city and then got back on the bus to the city chances are they were from the city. Which we all know means one thing.”

Together everyone says “Crystal Prep.”

Rainbow continues to say “yep and with the friendship games starting tomorrow they would totally try to prank us.”

Sunset not sure about that asks “why would they take the bus all the way here just for that?”

The girls all give their reasons and Sunset says “it seems kind of silly to me.”

The girls all gasp while Rainbow says “ so I suppose you think the friendship games are silly as well.”

Sunset wanting to be honest says “ Well it’s not like we will be fighting the powers of evil magic.” As Sunset finishes talking Fluttershy says “ We will be fighting against a school full of meanies. Not everything has to be magical to be important.”

Sunset looking ashamed says “I suppose your right. It is a big deal.” Sunset and the girls continue discussing the rivalry between the two schools until free period was over. Right before they all left Rainbow says “ their not going to beat us this year and you’ll see why later.”

Then after free period was an assembly Principal Ceestia starts the assembly then hands the microphone off to Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash starts to sing a song and gets the school to sing along encouraging the school to come together as one to stop Crystal Prep.

However at the end of the song Rainbow pony’s up without playing her instrument which Rose upon seeing comes up with a theory to tell Sunset later. The girls gather around Rainbow congratulating her. That is until A.J asks “does anybody else wonder why Rainbow could pony up without playing her guitar?”

Rainbow looking excited says “ I know right. It’s probably because I'm so awesome.”

Rose not being able to stay silent says “ I actually think it is because when Rainbow shows her loyalty she will pony up every time. I think the rest of you will as well.”

Sunset not wanting to doubt her girlfriend says “ I think you are right. It also makes sense.”

As Sunset finished talking Celestia and Luna come over and assign Sunset to help the girls keep their magic hidden and not accessible during the friendship games. Right after being assigned a task Sunset got to work.

The next day, everybody started to gather at C.H.S for the friendship games. Rose was walking through the halls when she sees the Twilight Sparkle from this world searching for something with her pendant. Knowing it is magic that the pendant was looking for Rose releases just enough magic to lure Twilight into the empty room she was in.

Once Twilight entered the room Rose used her magic to shut the door. Once it was shut Rose says “Hello Twilight Sparkle. I know the power/anomalies you are searching for. You probably won’t believe me unless I prove it to you. If you will leave your pendant here I will show you what it is.”

Twilight hesitantly takes her pendant off and says “ok show me.”

Rose opened a portal to her home in Equestria and says “ if you follow me your life will forever be changed. However I can guarantee that it will be better than what you have now.”

Nodding twilight followed Rose to Equestria. Once in Equestria Sunset says “Twilight the power you were looking into was Equestrian magic or just magic if that's easier to understand. I’m part of the Equestrian royal family. I’m the princess of portals and guardian of both worlds. It’s my job to stop those who may be after the magic from causing harm. I can also see the future and I have seen what would’ve happened to both worlds if I let you discover this on your own. You see that pendant will absorb the portal and the magic of my friends. Then during the friendship games your principal would convince you to release it and you would turn evil. I don’t want that to happen because I've seen you suffer a lot because of it. Also because I think you should transfer to C.H.S because the moment we return to our world your magic will be unlocked and you will finally find the one thing that will fill the hole in your chest. I have said all I can the rest is up to you.”

Twilight looks outside and sees several ponies using magic. Upon realising that everything that Rose told her was true Twilight decides in that moment to destroy the pendant when she got back and to transfer to C.H.S. Twilight took Roses hand and together they returned to their world little did they know that the school was in danger.
