Most of us wish to be a better version of ourselves. Even when that version isn't always better then we thought. We wish to be someone else, while we should just be ourselves.
Beware of what larks inside us. The dark thoughts we try to keep hidden away. The eternal struggle, between good and evil....
Walking down the school hallway, smartest student Twilight Sparkle had just finished class and was on her way to her locker, which was just down the hall.
She looked about 15-16 years-old. She was wearing her light-blue shirt with red bowtie, purple skirt, lavender shoes and a pair of glasses. She had her hair in a ponytail. She also carried a purple bag, filled with books and notes.
Twilight walked over to her locker and placed her school belongings in it. As she was preoccupied with the contents of her locker, she was then greeted by her friends, Applejack and Fluttershy.
Applejack was the same age as Twilight, as was Fluttershy. Applejack, or AJ as she's called, wore a white-and-green T-shirt with an apple on the front, a jean-skirt, a pair of brown leather boots and her treasured hat.
Fluttershy was wearing a pale yellow shirt, a green nature-themed skirt and a pair of slipper-like shoes.
"Hey there, Twi! How's it goin'?" asked AJ.
Twilight turned and saw her friends, standing beside her locker. "Oh! Hi AJ. I'm fine, thanks for asking. I'm just finished my Math class." she answered.
AJ leaned against the locker next to Twilight's. "Me an Fluttershy were wonderin' if yer free to come over to mah granny's house tonight. It's movie night." she asked.
Twilight faced her friends and answered, "Sure, I'm free to come over. Just one thing, AJ. No scary movies!"
AJ looked confused. "Why not?" she asked.
"Remember the last one we saw last month, the one about killer pancakes?" Twilight said, with anger in her voice. "Fluttershy kept us up all night because of that movie! And I'm pretty sure YOU wouldn't eat pancakes for a week."
AJ pressed her two fingers together and laughed nervously. Fluttershy hid behind her notebook and whispered, "I still have nightmares about it sometimes."
"Well, good news," AJ stated. "It ain't a scary movie! It is, in fact, a sci-fi movie. You like those, right?"
Twilight raised her eyebrow in a 'are-you-kidding' look as she showed them her sci-fi collection in her locker. Comics, books, video games, toys, anything related to the world of sci-fi. AJ took that as a yes.
After taking out her section of books, Twilight started walking along with her two friends. As the three girls walked down the hallway, Twilight suddenly blushed and hid behind Fluttershy.
"Twi? Ya'll okay there, Sugercube?" the cowgirl asked.
Twilight stayed hidden behind Fluttershy as she replied, "It's him! Flash Sentry!"
The two girls look in the direction Twilight was looking at before hiding and saw a blue haired teen boy, wearing a white T-shirt with a blue shield with a lightning bolt in it, blue jeans, a blue jacket and a pair of sneakers. His hair was styled back.
His name was Flash Sentry. He was the school's best guitar player and top music student. He was also Twilight's crush.
AJ smirked and leaned towards the blushing science girl. "Oooooh! Ah see. You got the 'jelly legs' from mister 'Hot-Pants' over there~!"
Twilight blushed furiously as she glared at AJ. "N-n-no!! No, I don't! I-I-I-I j-just, uh, Feel a little, uh, dizzy! Yeah, dizzy. That's it! From all my studying!"
Both AJ and Fluttershy gave each-other a smirk with an eyebrow raise. They were not convinced.
"Well, if ya like him so much, why don't ya ask him out?" the cowgirl asked, casually. That made Twilight blush even more.
"W-W-WHAT?!!!!" she screamed before immediately covering her mouth with her hands. She looked around to see if anyone heard her. Luckily, no-one did.
"I can't just 'ask him out'." she whispered. "You don't just ask someone out, like out straight like that! Secondly, I don't have time for something like that! I have so much studying to do."
AJ smiled and said, "And that's those are the only reasons?"
Twilight paused for a moment before whispering back to AJ. "A-and....I guess, Flash is this super cool guy. Into rock n' roll, music and that stuff. I'm just a science girl. I'm into stuff he probably isn't into. He'll just get bored of me."
"Twilight," Fluttershy comforted her friend. "If you feel that way, you could just ask him how he feels about the stuff you're into. Who knows? Maybe you'll both find something in common."
"Easy for you to say, Fluttershy. You have a boyfriend, whom you meet at the animal shelter you work at. You two both have A LOT in common!" Twilight said.
Fluttershy smiled and pointed her finger in the air, acting like a guru. "A wise person once said; There's more to Love than just being alike."
AJ nodded in agreement. "Very true. Twi, you an' Flash don't need to have anythin' in common. You just be yer-self an' anything will be fine."
Twilight was very lucky to have great friends like AJ and Fluttershy. They first met back at the beginning of their first day of attending CHS. They had the same class together and became friends ever since.
As Twilight moved away from Fluttershy's behind, she stared at the named Flash. Ever since she accidentally entered the music room by mistake, looking for the library, she saw him playing his guitar and gained a crush on him.
Suddenly, Applejack called out to Flash. "Hey, Flash! Over 'ere!" This caught the blue-haired boy's attention and saw the three girls.
He told his friends he would see them later and started to walk over to the trio. As he did, Twilight began to panic inside.
'Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my Gosh!!' she thought, her mind racing. 'What do I do?!'
Before she could think of anything, Flash was already standing next to AJ and Fluttershy.
"Hey girls." he greeted. "What's up?" AJ smirked as she looked at Twilight, who was trembling and blushing madly.
"Oh, you know." she replied. "Just waitin' on ya while Twilight wants to talk to ya."
The cowgirl grabbed Fluttershy's arm and pulled her a few steps towards her, revealing Twilight curled up on the floor. Twilight froze and slowly turned her head around, facing the blue haired boy.
It was like time had instantly frozen. Twilight was stricken by fear on the spot. She couldn't move. 'Come on, Twilight. Get up!' she mentally scolded herself.
Her legs finally obeyed her commands, allowing her to stand up and slowly turn to face Flash. She awkwardly forged a smile.
"U-u-u-um, h-hi, Flash! H-how are you?" she stuttered while sweating bullets. This made AJ facepalm while Fluttershy just shook her head at AJ. The cowgirl kept doing stuff like this to Twilight and Flash.
"Doing good. Just finished talking with the guys about our show for the dance." he said. "We're deciding on what song to play when we go up on stage."
"Oh! T-that sounds great!" Twilight said, slightly stuttering with nervousness in her voice.
Then, an idea came to Flash's mind. "Say, I know music isn't your thing, but it would really help me and the guys if you could help us decide with the song. What do you say?"
Twilight's mind was racing when he asked her that question. 'Ohmygosh!!!! Is he asking me out on a date?! No, it's too informal. It's just a question for help, that's all. But still! Spending with Flash Sentry!!! I mean it won't be just us alone. His friends will be there too, obviously. Oh, WHAT DO I DO?!!!'
"I-uh-I'd love to help, F-Flash. But.....but...I can't! Becauuuuuuuse….." she muttered just loudly enough for Flash and her friends to hear what she was saying.
Just then, the school bell rang. Indicating that class was about to start. "Because I gotta get to class right now! That, and I've a super important project to perform with my penpal, Sunset Shimmer!" she blurted out in a hurry.
"Come on, girls! We gotta get to class! And you know how much I hate being tardy! Nice talking to you, Flash! See ya!" she called out as she practically dragged her two friends with her on the way to class.
Flash jus stood there, all confused. "Um, okay. Bye." he said, knowing he's just speaking to nothing. He slammed his hands on his face. 'Stupid! You missed your chance!!' he thought.
After school had finished, the three girls exited the main entrance and walked on their way home.
"That wasn't very nice, Twilight." spoke Fluttershy, giving her friend a disappointed frown. "You could've at least given him a chance."
Twilight buried her face in her hands in shame. "I know! But, I just CAN'T! I can't do it! I feel that he just won't be into someone like me!!" she cried, muffled in her hands.
AJ patted on Twilight's back to give her some comfort. Then, Fluttershy gave HER the same frown before scolding her. "And YOU, Applejack Orchard, don't ALWAYS have to do stunts like that!"
"Like what?" AJ shrugged. This earned a glare from both Fluttershy AND Twilight. She sweet-dropped in nervousness. "Okay, okay. Ah guess that was a little out of line. Ah was just tryin' to help Twi to ask him out."
"I'm pretty sure Twilight is perfectly capable of gaining confidence on her own, thank you." Fluttershy said. "Plus, you're one to talk. As we recall, you have the same trouble talking to that guy in my art class, right?"
Suddenly, AJ began to blush. She knew exactly who the animal-lover was talking about. Field Rock!
Field Rock was CHS's top art student and a really friendly guy. When AJ first laid eyes on him, she immediately fell for him. She had been crushing on him ever since. If only she had the nerve to ask him out.
Seeing AJ in an embarrassing state made Twilight smirk. 'Serves you right!' she thought. Showed her to not trick her into being alone with her crush.
"W-w-well, shut up!" AJ stuttered. "It ain't easy for both of us! After all, you got a boyfriend. We can't help if we're a little jealous!"
It was true. Out of the three, Fluttershy was the only one of them who had a boyfriend. His name was Fluffy Fritz, a worker at the animal shelter she works at. He's an animal-lover, just like her. They've been together ever since.
AJ and Twilight couldn't help but feel a little jealous of the happy animal-loving couple. They felt embarrassed, not having boyfriends of their own. Luckily for them, Fluttershy was not one to gloat.
"Just please promise us you won't do any more of your 'ideas.' " Fluttershy asked. "I don't think we can take anymore of these happenings going on any further."
AJ huffed in defeat. "Alright! Fine! Ah won't do stuff like that anymore! Happy?" Judging from the smiles on Fluttershy and Twilight's faces, they were. Very.
Then, Twilight's phone beeped. She was late for her daily experiment time. She had her own lab within her garage that her parents let her have and use, seeing as they weren't using it.
She and her pen-pal, Sunset Shimmer, were conducting an experiment involving magic. Ever since magic was revealed to exist in the world, the two science girls wanted to test it out, non-stop. They were obsessed with it.
This experiment involves trying to make a potion that can reveal the inner feelings of a person, i.e.; who they have a crush on, what it is they have anger against, what they feel hungry for, etc.
"Listen girls, I've gotta go." Twilight said, starting to jog. "I've gotta finish my experiment with Sunset. We're SO CLOSE to a breakthrough! I'll see you guys tomorrow!"
As she ran off and waved to her friends, they waved back to her, proceeding to walk the way home on their own.
Fluttershy turned to AJ and asked, "You think Twilight will be okay? I mean, this experiment does sound kind of dangerous."
"Ah'm sure she's fine! She an her 'pen-pal' 'ave been workin' on that thing for a month. They'll never get it done." relpied AJ. "Besides, this is Twi we're talkin' about. She's got survival skills stronger than an ox on mating season." That last part made Fluttershy blush.
"She'll be just fine. Ah know it."
It was late in the evening and Twilight was in her lab gown, working the potion she and her pen-pal were working on.
Then, he pet dog, Spike, came in and walked up to his master. He was wearing a strange collar, one with a device that had a screen on it. This device was created by Twilight as a dog translator, meaning for Spike to speak human whenever he's wearing it.
"Twilight?" the small spoke in a young boy voice. Twilight heard him and looked down to see her dog looking concerned. "It's been a month since you and Sunset began working on this project. Maybe it's time to give it rest?"
Twilight gave a quick yawn before replying. "What, and miss the opportunity to make history? No way! If this works, we'll be showing the world how people can really see what others feel!"
Spike raised an eyebrow. "But, isn't that an 'invasion of privacy'?"
"W-w-w-what?! N-no! It's just....a chance toooooo…..research how feeling truly work! Yes. That." she quickly defended her self against Spike's argument. Spike just rolled his eyes.
Not wanting to drag this argument any further, Spike just walked away from the working science girl, who was diving her nose back into her work. She even had her laptop on, for communicating with her Pen-Pal, Sunset Shimmer via Email.
The laptop pinged, indicating Sunset's reply came. It read, 'ALRIGHT. JUST ONE INGREDIENT LEFT AND WE'VE GOT IT.' Twilight nodded and started typing back to her friend. She spoke as she wrote, "Got it. Placing ingredient now."
After pressing send, Twilight leaned over to a small vile of the final ingredient and held it over a flask of strange green liquid, bubbling all over. She slowly and carefully turned the vile to its side, trying to let it drop into the flask.
As the ingredient landed in the liquid, a small puff of smoke blow out from the flask, making Twilight flinch in fear. She did NOT want another explosion in her lab again.
She peaked her eyes open and saw the liquid had changed colour, from green to purple. She had done it! The potion was complete!
She put on her warm oven gloves to protect her hands from the boiling heat of the flask. She picked it up and slowly moved over to the nearest desk, trying not to spill the potion over anything.
"....Careful....carefuuuuuulllll….." she said to herself.
She placed it on the desk near the window to cool down, like a freshly baked pie from the oven. She then headed towards her laptop to email Sunset. She said as she typed, "Potion complete. With no other test subject, I have no choice but to test it on myself."
After waiting a few minutes for the potion to cool down, Sunset replied to her email. The email read, 'JUST BE CAREFUL. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND F EFFECT/RESULTS THIS THING WILL INFLICT UPON YOU.'
Twilight typed back, "Don't worry, Sunset. I'll be fine. Remember, this is for science and the future!" and hit send.
With that out of the way, she then turned to face the potion, which was all cooled down now. She then picked it up with her bare hand and stared at the reflection in the liquid.
'Just one sip, and we'll be creating history!' she thought to herself. 'Besides, if there ARE any side effects, I'll gladly accept them! It'll be for progress.'
Despite the trembling her hand was giving off, Twilight was determined to make this potion work! She gulped in her doubts and leaned the flask closer to her lips. She slowly let the potion sip into her mouth as she drank nice and slowly.
She was able to stop drinking and save a lot of the potion, making sure she hadn't drunk it all. She then placed the flask back on the table.
(BUUUUUURRRRP!!!!!!) was all that came out of her mouth. She blushed slightly, even though there was no-one around to hear it. She sighed in disappointment. "Another failure" she groaned.
She took out her audio tape recorder and pressed 'record' on the side. "Entry log 78." she spoke into the recorder. "The latest subject was another failure. The test was myself and I don't feel any different. A slight tingle here and there, but nothing important. It seems I need to-....to....to.....toooooo….."
Twilight started to feel a little dizzy and light-headed as she dropped her recorder, which was still on record. She leaned on the desk to try to rest her head, hoping to overcome this dizziness. "Oh.....my head!" she groaned.
Suddenly, everything started to go all slow-motion in her point of view. She even started to lose balance in her legs.
Then, all hell broke loose! She felt a sharp pain taking over her whole body as she screamed out in pain. She fell over several times, crashing into some of her equipment and making a mess of the place.
"W-what's.....happening...to.....ME?!!!!!" she screamed before feeling the need to pass out. She slowly felt herself drift away into unconsciousness until she completely blacked out. The only thing was, although she was knocked out, her body was still awake and in pain!
Twilight's body screamed more and more as it slowly started to change. The eyes began to change colour, the hair style started to morph into another one and her skin tone changed too. Even her voice was beginning to sound different.
After the screaming and the pain stopped, the body groaned as it slowly picked itself up from all of that pain. "W-what happened?" she asked. She then realised something odd. "W-what happened to my voice?"
She was able to drag herself over to the closet, which had a mirror in it. When the body opened the closet door, the mirror came out. The saw the reflection in the mirror. "AAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!!" she screamed before calming herself.
She could not believe what was in front of her. The reflection showed as girl whose aged seemed similar to Twilight's, only her appearance is completely different. She had dark-blue eyes and had purple hair, which was curled in a way fashionistas would have their hairs styled.
The strange girl was so shocked by this, she kept feeling her new face and hair. "I-I-I-I can't believe it! I can NOT believe it!!!" she exclaimed. "I'm different! I'm good looking! I'm....I'm...I'm....I'm someone new."
She looked at her hands as she was figuring out what she was. "I'm Twilight Sparkle, yet NOT Twilight Sparkle. I'm a whole new person. A whole separate person! I'm....I'm...."
A grin appeared on her face as she started to laugh. The laugh grew louder and louder. "Hahaha! I'm free. Hahahaha! Free!! HAHA!!"
She took a deep breath in though her nose before screaming out loud....
"I'M FREE!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!"
Hours later, at the school dance in the gym hall, most of the student body was there dancing and talking to each-other. It was late in the evening and the mood was perfect for the occasion.
In the far corner, siting on some chairs at a table, were Applejack and Fluttershy. They were bored for a while, not having their best friend there to enjoy the party. Fluttershy had invited her boyfriend over to come to the dance, who was getting some punch.
AJ sighed. "Ah'm bored!" she said as she slammed her face flat on the table. Fluttershy just rolled her eyes at the cowgirl.
Then, Flash came over and spoke to the two girls. "Hey girls!" he greeted. "Have you two see Twilight? I was sure she was gonna be here."
"Sorry Flash." said AJ. "Once she gets into her experiments or projects, she's stuck in it like sap on a honey tree."
Disappointed by the fact that Twilight wasn't coming made Flash look down in the dumps. He was actually looking forward to asking her to dance with him.
"Don't worry about it, Flash." Fluttershy said, trying to comfort the blue-haired guitar player. "I'm sure, one of these days, you'll get there with Twilight. Just....give it some time."
Flash nodded slowly in response to Fluttershy's kind and comforting words. "Thanks." he said.
He then got up and walked over to the refreshments table, which had Fluttershy's boyfriend, Fluffy Fritz, coming the other way.
Fluffy Fritz placed two full cups of punch on the table and sat down next to his girlfriend, Fluttershy. He put one of the punch cups next to her and the other right near the spot he sat down to.
"Here you go, Fluttershy." he said. "I know it's not orange juice or milk, but I'm sure it's still just as good."
Fluttershy smiled and gave her boyfriend and small kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, Fluffy~! The punch is fine." AJ felt a small hint of jealousy when she saw Fluttershy kiss Fluffy.
'How great I would be to have a boyfriend....' she thought to herself.
Just then, the gym doors, lending to outdoors, swung wide open. AJ, Fluttershy, Fluffy and lots of other kids looked at the direction of the sound of doors being slammed open and some kids' jaws fell in awe from what they saw.
The strange curly-purple haired girl was there, posing like a fashion model. She was wearing a long light-blue sparkly dress with pink high-heels. She even had a blue diamond hair-pin. She began to walk away from the doors and strut like she was walking a catwalk.
Fluttershy and AJ looked at each-other and then back at the girl again. "Who in the hay is that?" asked AJ. Fluttershy just shrugged her shoulders in confusion.
She walked over towards the refreshments table, where Flash was standing next to, and practically walked right up to him. When he turned around, his jaw fell open when he saw this strange purple-haired beauty.
"Well, hello there, handsome~." she said with a posh, yet flirty tone. "I could not help but notice your style of dressing and I must say....you are very stunning in the eyes of women everywhere~!" She gave him a wink.
This made Flash blush like mad. No-one had ever called him handsome before. Well, no-one other than his mother, who calls him 'her handsome little boy.'
He gulped quite loudly and started to speak, "I-I-I, um, thank you. I think? M-my older sisters picked this suit out for me, so...you can talk to them about it." The red on his face would NOT go away!
The girl smirked at his beat-red face. "I'll be sure to speak to them one day, Flash."
That last part caught Flash's attention. "Wait a minute..." he wondered. "How do you know my name?"
"Why, who hasn't heard of the brilliant and talented Flash Sentry of Canterlot High?" she answered. "Your name spreads through this city like WILDFIRE!"
It was true. Flash's name seemed to have made it's way throughout the entire city, making him a famed guitar player that many wanted to hear him play. This made his sisters and his parents very proud of him.
"W-w-w-well, uh, I guess that's a good explanation." he stuttered. "W-who...who, exactly, are you?"
The strange girl was about to speak, but then paused. She hadn't thought about that. That question was very true, who was she? What WAS her name? Truth was, she didn't have one.
Of course, she couldn't go around with Twilight Sparkle's name now, could she? She needed a name of her very own! But what?
She quickly eyed at her surroundings to find an appropriate name for herself. She then spotted a couple talking about gems, from the way she read their lips. She saw one of them saying the word, 'rarity', and that gave her an idea.
She then quickly spotted another person and read her lips, watching her say, 'Oh, darling, you're such a kidder!' Yet again, the girl was struck with inspiration!
"Why, my name..." she declared herself to Flash. "...is Rarity. Rarity Darling!"
Flash smiled at the girl, now called Rarity Darling, and shock her hand. "Well, by all means, welcome to Canterlot High, Ms Darling!" he greeted.
Rarity giggled and said, "Please, call me Rarity." Again, she winked at him.
Then, someone tapped Rarity on the shoulder from behind. "Hey!" they said. The purple-haired girl turned around and saw AJ, Fluttershy and Fluffy Fritz standing there. One look at AJ's choice of clothing, and she did NOT like this cowgirl already.
AJ glared at the new girl as she spoke, "Ah don't know what yer doin', but this guy is expectin' someone. So, if it ain't to much trouble, back off of him, will ya?"
"Um, Applejack...I don't think it's a good idea to provoke new kids like that." whispered Fluttershy, who tried to calm AJ down.
Being Twilight Sparkle's newly created alter ego, Rarity was able to access some of Twilight's memories. She knew who these girls were. They were Twilight's best friends, Applejack and Fluttershy. Of course, she decided to not know them.
"Well, I must say, it's seems to be quite a pleasure to meet you two. My name is Rarity Darling and I am new to CHS. Rarity's my name and fashion's my game!" she greeted to the two girls, saying the last part with sass!
Still glaring, AJ slowly took out her hand and reluctantly shock Rarity's hand. "Applejack Orchard...." she growled. Rarity chuckled at AJ's reaction towards her.
"U-u-um, My name is Fluttershy. Fluttershy Oaks." Fluttershy introduced herself as she bowed in politeness. "This is my boyfriend, Fluffy Fritz."
Fluffy shyly waved and said, "Um...hi." His smile was a nervous one.
Rarity smiled. "A pleasure to meet you. I am looking forward to joining this school! I must remind you, my...family, are normally quite busy and like me to help them, so you may not see me around here often."
"Seems to be the only good thing about her." AJ quietly grumbled to herself.
Fluffy coughed a little bit to break the tension and asked Rarity a question. "So, Rarity, what kind of fashion do you do, anyway?"
"Oh my! Don't DARE ask me such a question! I couldn't possibly choose one! I LOVE all kinds!!!!" Rarity exclaimed, with stars in her eyes. She paused for a second and eyed AJ's choice of outfit style. "...well, almost all."
AJ raised her eyebrow in suspicion. "Say what?!" she growled.
Rarity ignored the cowgirls remark and turned back to Flash. "So, handsome, where were we~?" she flirted.
Just then, one of the students got up on stage and spoke into the microphone. "Um, attention everyone! Okay, right now, we're gonna do a little something called 'Choice Raffle', where you request what song to play and get the chance to sing it on stage!"
This gave Rarity an idea for a night of fun. "Here, darling." she spoke to AJ. "Make yourself useful and hold my handbag for me, will you? There's a good girl." She handed AJ her handbag and strutted over to the stage.
AJ was ticked off by the fact that this new girl treated her like a dirty cavegirl, which had no use but to be a servant! Her face was red with anger!!! Fluttershy tried her very best to calm her friend down.
Rarity got up on the stage and whispered the name of the song she wanted to sing into the announcer's ear. He called out to the DJ, "Play number 75, will ya?" the DJ gave him a thumbs up and pressed the button '75' on her music machine.
The music stated playing as Rarity stood right next to the microphone and the spotlight was aimed at her. She started to move her shoulders in a smooth dancing formation.
After a few lines of hearing her singing, the whole gym started to dance along to Rarity's voice. Even the lights were dancing all around to the mood.
AJ, Fluttershy, Fluffy and Flash just stared at the new girl as she owned the spotlight like she was born for it! Their jaws were wide open in shock. Well, who wouldn't be, right?
AJ shook her head to snap herself out of it and crossed her arms in anger. "Hm!" she huffed. "She ain't nothin' special! So, she can sing an' dance. That ain't nothin'!"
Flash was soon snapped out of his trance and looked at AJ. "I don't know, AJ. I mean, look at her! She's amazing!" he said.
"Helloooo!" glared AJ. "Don't you already got a girl to like? Someone called, Ah don't know, Twilight?!"
Fluttershy scolded her friend. "Now AJ, that's no way to talk to Flash! He's just complimenting Ms Darling's singing." Her glared put a little bit of fear into AJ, making her wince a little.
"No, I-I-I-it's okay, Fluttershy." said Flash. "I was just...hoping Twilight would come, that's all."
AJ stared at Rarity, who was showing off like it was no big deal. "Well, Ah'm glad she ain't here, cause Ah think she wouldn't like being here like this!" she stated. "Ah don't know about y'all, but fer me, this party's ruined."
"I-I-I-I think it's time we went home, now." spoke Fluffy.
Fluttershy nodded in agreement to her boyfriend. "Sounds like a good idea. It's getting late anyway." Just like that, the four students left the party, which was in a big hype.
Everyone was dancing in pairs in 50s style dance moves while Rarity was sing the final parts of the song. Knowing the song was coming to an end, the students all gathered around her with smiles on their faces.
Rarity did a twirl before sing the final line. "Oh! The angel of the stage~!" And with that, the music stopped. The whole gym was filled with the sound of applause and praise. The entire student body loved her!
Rarity had never felt so alive then she did right now. This was the most fun night she's had in, well, ever!!!

(Story plot:)
In the high school of Canterlot High School, CHS for short, their lived a smart student. She was the smartest of them all! Even though she was a little...geeky and shy. She didn't have much confidence when it comes to making new friends. She had two friends, Applejack Orchard and Fluttershy Oaks.
Her name was Twilight Sparkle!
This science-loving girl had a HUGE crush on CHS' top guitar player and ace music student, Flash Sentry. Seeing as he's a rock music lover and a cool dude, Twilight thinks he wouldn't be interested in a nerdy girl like her.
One night, while conducting an experiment she was doing with her pen-pal, Sunset Shimmer, an experiment on finding out the science of Magic, she accidentally makes a whole new magic potion!
This magic potion has the power to create a new personality, more specifically, brings out the hidden parts of one's unused emotions/impules/parts of their personality out and mashes them together into a single entity and then, gives it a mind/consciousness of it's own. This is known as the 'Inner Self!'
When Twilight drinks said potion, she gets knocked out while all of her inner parts get formed into a whole new person with a mind of it's own. Twilight's Inner Self gets created, becoming a whole new persona named Rarity Darling, a beautiful fashionista girl who flirts with every guy in sight and acts like a diva model.
As Rarity Darling becomes attracted to Flash, just as Twilight is, she starts to cause some trouble. From insulting others' fashion sense to sabotaging Twilight's friends' class projects, she'll do anything to get close to Flash.
As Twilight starts to realize that both the potion and Rarity have become uncontrollable, she vows to never become Rarity Darling again and just be herself. The only problem is, Rarity now wants more than just popularity and Flash. She want OUT!
The two personas begin to fight for their existence. With Twilight fighting to keep her life intact and with Rarity wanting to be permanently free, things get out of control!
Then, Twilight creates a potion that can help her be rid of her alter ego forever. A potion designed to make an alter ego disappear for good. When the active personality drinks it, the dormant persona gets evaporated. So, if Twilight drinks it, Rarity will disappear forever.
However, Rarity plans to drink that potion so it would be Twilight who disappears, making Rarity free forever and her own person!
Will Twilight gain back control of her life and defeat her other self? Will Rarity finally be free of her timid side and be free?
….or will something more magical happen?
Twilight Sparkle:

When Twilight drank the potion and was knocked out, Rarity was born! She went out and started to show off to the students of CHS. She even gave herself a name, Rarity Darling!
The first few times of being out were fun for her, finally being, well, a being! Having so much fun and flirting with Flash, she decides that she no longer wants to be just a 'second personality' of someone else.
