Previous Chapter

Everyone except for Sunset Shimmer and Storm Feathers was in shock. They all had the same thought going through their heads. Wasn't Storm Feathers the griffon Sunset knew back in Equestria. They silently looked at Sunset for answers. She just looked back at them with pleading eyes and gave them a look that meant, I'll explain later.

"Is something wrong?" Storm Feathers asked, curiosity and worry in his tone. They all looked him and gave a nervous laugh.

"Sorry about that darling. Please don't worry we were just..um," Rarity said, failing to come up with an excuse. She looked to the others for help. Suddenly, Trixie got up from her seat.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie!!..uh, knows of someone named Storm Feathers. Trixie met him during one of her magic acts. The coincidence of names caught us off guard," Trixie said. Everyone eagerly agreed with Trixie's explanation.

"Oh..uh, well I assure you, whoever this person is will be no match for me! I guarantee, I am the better Storm Feathers ," Storm Feathers bragged, "I am someone with the eyes of an eagle and strength and courage of a lion!" Everyone sighed in relief. Then, Rainbow Dash got up from her seat.

"Strength of a lion huh? Well we'll see about that. You good at any sports?" Rainbow said eagerly.

"You bet I am!" Storm Feathers replied, but then he remembered he was in a different body that he couldn't function too well in, "But I haven't played in a long time." Rainbow seemed a little disappointed, but then smiled.

"That's fine! No matter how rusty you might be we just means we need to get you back into the game. Then, your back to playing like before! No, even better than ever!" Rainbow encouraged. Storm Feathers thought about it. He did like playing ball back in Canterlot with Sunset, but he was here for a reason. He couldn't get side tracked, but then again, it might help him get used to his body. After making his decision, he looked at Rainbow with determination.

"Alright. You convinced me, I'm game," Storm Feathers said. That's when Storm Feathers heard Wallflower Blush speak for the first time.

"Wait, better than ever? Isn't that one of your songs Rainbow?" She asked. Rainbow Dash nodded.

"You write songs?" Storm Feathers asked. Rainbow Dash was about to respond, but Pinkie Pie beat her to it.

"Yep! We are all in a band called the Rainbooms. Well, except for Trixie and Wallflower. Trixie is in her own band while Wallflower had stage fright," Pinkie replied, but then gasped, "You should hear us play after school! We'll be at the band room. That's where we usually hang out." Everyone agreed except for Twilight and Sunset. Both of them looked worried.

"Um, Storm Feathers, can you please excuse us," Twilight said with a nervous smile. She lead Storm Feathers towards another table then bolted back to the girls leaving him confused. Storm Feathers turned his head away from the girl and to the other people at the table Twilight left him at.

"Uh...Hi? I'm Storm Feathers," He introduced himself nervously.

Back with the girls, Everyone looked at Twilight with confusion.

"Uh, Twilight? Why did ya do that?" Applejack asked. She looked at them as if they were crazy.

"Why? So we can talk! I get that we should be welcoming, but do you think he's going to be okay when he sees us pony up when we play?" Twilight said. Realization hit them hard.

"Maybe he won't notice?" Pinkie Pie said sheepishly. Twilight facepalmed.

"Isn't he from Equestia though?" Fluttershy asked quietly as she turned to Sunset, "Didn't you say you knew him when you were Princess Celestia's student?"

"I did know a Storm Feathers back in Equestria, but remember everypony has a doppelganger here. This is obviously the Storm Feathers in this world," Sunset responded sadly. Pinkie saw her frown and went to go hug her. Sunset Shimmer chuckled as she hugged back. "Thanks Pinks."

"Anything for a friend!" Pinkie said cheerfully.

"You okay sugarcube?" Applejack asked. Sunset Shimmer shook her head.

"It's just that...These past few days I've been thinking of Storm Feathers. I've been wanting to go back to Equestria to see him again," Sunset said.

"Why can't you? I bet Princess Twilight will be willing to help you," Applejack said.

"I know that, but I said and did some pretty mean things to him before I left. What if he doesn't want to see me again? What if he doesn't even remember me? I thought I could just forget about the idea over time, but now this worlds Storm Feathers is here! Not only do I feel guilty around him, I feel as if I'm just replacing the Storm Feathers I knew back in Equestria," Sunset explained. Twilight put her hand on Sunset's shoulder.

"Sunset, you are not replacing him. I remember what you said you said to me when I thought you only liked me because I was Princess Twilight's doppelganger. You said, and I quote, 'You might look, sound, and sometimes act the same, but both of you have your own life that is very different from the other. You're your own person.' Take your own advice Sunset. Plus, if you guys were as close as you say you were, then he will forgive you, and he will remember you," Twilight encouraged. Sunset looked at Twilight and smiled.

"Thanks Twilight. I guess it's just that they are so alike in so many ways. They even gave me the same nickname. It feels like they're the same person," Sunset said.

"Maybe they are! What if the Storm Feathers you knew back then saw you when you were to Equestria for help with the whole memory thing in the library when you tried searching for answers in the restricted section so you can find out why we forgot about you and then he then went Princess Twilight to get some information about you but since this world is supposed to be a secret she refused to tell him anything so he tried to pounce her but was noticed by the royal guards and got chased because he's a wanted thief but managed to get away and follow Princess Twilight back to Ponyville and then he snuck into Princess Twilight's castle while she was talking to Starlight Glimmer and Spike and once they left he read through the letters you sent to Princess Twilight to get enough information to go through the portal and see you again after looking for you for 2 years!" Pinkie quickly said, finally allowing herself to breathe after saying a sentence that long without pausing.

"I, uh, highly doubt that Pinkie," Sunset said making Pinkie frown.

"Can't say I didn't try," Pinkie Pie said turning away from her friend to look at...something.

"Now hold on, maybe we should listen to Pinkie. She did this before with Princess Twilight and was right," Applejack said. Sunset thought that Pinkie's theory was insane, but she really hoped it was true. She put her hand to her chin as she tried to think of a way to find out if it was true. She could always use her mind reading powers, but she wouldn't want to invade Storm Feather's mind like that without if permission. Then an idea popped into her mind as she snapped her fingers.

"That's it! In Pinkie's theory, Storm Feathers talked with Princess Twilight, so if we-" Sunset started, but got interrupted by Twilight.

"Ask Princess Twilight if she talked to Storm Feathers, we know if Pinkie's hunch was correct!" Twilight said catching on to Sunset's plan. Sunset Shimmer chuckled and she nodded her head. She opened up her bag and tried to find the journal. After a minute or two, she groaned.

"I think I left the journal at home."

"That's okay. You can just write to her after school," Rainbow Dash said.

"Yeah I guess your right," Sunset replied.

"Of course I am. I'm awesome!" Rainbow Dash bragged.
