Equestria Girls: Through the Mirror
A Strange, Yet Familiar, New World
Previous ChapterNext ChapterEleanor's POV.
Ugh... My head... What hit me?
I gasped awake to the sound of screaming. My eyes shot open and sat up to my best ability. I rubbed the back of head, where it felt most sore.
What hit me? The last thing I remember was Twilight entering the mirror, then Spike chasing after her. He must have accidentally knocked me in too.
Sitting next to me, on my left, was a teenage, human girl acting like she has never seen hands before. Her skin was a very pastel lavender color. Her well-combed hair was a familiar sapphire blue with a purple and pink streak. Her eyes were a familiar violet.
She wore a light blue t-shirt with a pink bowtie around her neck. A dark blue backpack on her back. A purple folded skirt with a familiar pink star and smaller white stars circling it. Matching purple leg-warmers that reach below her knees and black boots.
I tilted my head and narrowed my eyes at the girl in recognition.
Twilight Sparkle?
To confirm, a familiar voice spoke up, "Twilight, you have to get it together!"
I turned to my right and there was a small, King Charles Spaniel dog sitting casually. His fur was a familiar pastel purple with a light green underbelly. His ears were green, as well as a tuff of fur on top of his head. His eyes were a familiar green as well. His collar was blue and bared spikes and a name tag.
Spike? Why are you a dog?
Twilight took a breath and calmed herself down. She leaned forward and rested her hands on the ground. "What does the rest of me look like?" She asked Spike.
"Um..." Spike started, tilting his head, "Like you, only not you. Your muzzle’s really small."
"My muzzle?!?" Twilight exclaimed.
She reached to her face and found her muzzle has shrunk to a cute button nose. Anxiety built up again and Twilight started to panic. I quickly put my hands over her mouth, before she could scream.
"Are you gonna scream again?" Spike asked.
Twilight shook her head and looked at me. She muffled something, but I couldn't make it out. I removed my hands from her mouth and Twilight repeated, "Who are you?"
I tilted my head and raised a brow. Then I looked myself over. From my hands, I saw that my skin was a light charcoal grey, compared to my former ravenette fur. I felt my face and found that my ears are now at the sides my head, my muzzle has shrunk into a small nose as well. My tail and wings were gone too.
Like Twilight, I became a human too!
Even my clothes have changed. I wore a dark purple t-shirt with my Cutie Mark designed on it. A black, leather jacket. A denim skirt that reached half-way to my thighs with black leggings reaching above my knees. And matching black boots.
I basically looked like a gothic rocker.
My glasses, bandages around my neck and choker remained the same. But my gloves and scarf were gone.
Where did they go?
Twilight narrowed her eyes and tilted her head, "Ellie?"
I smiled and nodded in confirmation. Twilight smiled and threw her arms around me. I returned the hug. After a few seconds, Twilight, Spike and I looked around where we were.
"Where are we?" Spike wondered.
Guys... I don't think we're in Equestria anymore...
"I don’t know." Twilight answered, as she turned to the statue behind us, "But that must serve as the gateway back to Equestria." She reached her hand into the statue, revealing the portal, and a ghost image of her hand on the other side. She shook her head and regained herself, "We need to find my crown as soon as possible and get back there."
Twilight turned to face a large, U-shaped building, "I suggest we start searching the castle first." I tilted my head.
Looks like a high school to me...
Spike smiled and hopped onto Twilight's back, "Works for me."
With that, Twilight marched over to the building. Well... When I mean 'march', I mean that she was leaned forward and marching on her toes.
I quickly followed and nudged her. Twilight looked at me in confusion. I took hold of her hands and positioned her upright. Then gently stepped on her feet until she was fully footed. I stepped away from her and showed her how to walk like a human.
Twilight took her first step and started wobbling and stumbling toward the stairs of the building, to the main door.
She quickly grabbed the railing and climbed her way up the steps, "Come on, Spike. Ellie. I do not want to be like this for longer than I have to."
"Well, look on the bright side." Spike spoke up with a smile, "You don’t have those pesky wings to worry about anymore."
Twilight and I glared at the baby dragon-turned-dog.
Not helping, Spike!
Twilight made it to the top of the steps and faced the door. She closed her eyes waved her hand and walked forward. However, the door didn't open and Twilight slammed herself into the door.
Twilight recovered and tried again. The door didn't respond.
Twilight gasped in shock, "My magic... It isn’t working!"
"Makes sense." Spike spoke up, "You don’t exactly have your horn."
"What?!?" Twilight exclaimed, then started to move her hair and try to see her horn. Nothing but a bare forehead.
"We really need to find you a mirror." Spike sighed, as he pushed to door open.
Twilight, Spike and I entered the building. The inside was a main foyer of a high school. Called it, by the way. There were blue banners and flags of equines and horseshoes. Must be a representation of their school mascot. A stallion? A mare? A WonderColt?
Wait... Where did that thought come from?
Twilight and Spike snuck deeper into the foyer. I quickly regained myself and followed. Twilight noticed the trophy display case and looked into it.
"What do you think?" Twilight asked me and Spike, "Other artifacts she’s stolen from Equestria?"
I looked at the trophies and looked over the names and categories.
Not likely, Twilight. Who's this 'Robyn Dakotah Ambrose'? Or 'Phillie Piper' for that matter?
Twilight looked at the glass and was able to see her reflection. She gasped, "What am I?"
Suddenly, a bell rang and the entire foyer was filled with teenaged, human students. Spike, Twilight and I tried to stay close and avoid any contact from anyone.
However our plan was ineffective. Twilight, Spike and I crawled out of the crowd of students, but Twilight got her foot stuck. Spike and I got her free and Twilight rolled into a teenage male.
The boy closed his locker in surprise, "Whoa!" And offer his hand to Twilight, "You okay?"
The boy looked like a human counterpart of the Pegasus guard that Twilight bumped into yesterday. He wore a white t-shirt with blue trimmings, under a black jacket. Blue jeans and sneakers.
Twilight gave the boy her hand and the boy helped her back to her feet. Twilight nodded her head and the boy walked off into the crowd. Twilight watched him in curiosity.
"I don’t think this is a castle." Spike shook his head. I nodded in agreement.

Twilight Sparkle
I’ve never seen a place that’s quite like this,
Everything is turned around, this crazy world is upside down.
Getting on my feet, it’s the hand that I was dealt,
But I don’t have much time with them, got to learn all that I can.
Eleanor Carter
They don’t use any magic or fly with any wings,
Twilight Sparkle
I don’t get these funny clothes, skinny legs or tiny nose.
Everything’s confusing when it seems so new,
Eleanor Carter
But I look a little closer and it starts to feel familiar too.
Twilight and Eleanor
