Evil Like Me

The car arrived into Equestria & drived to Equestria Prep High School. They drove to the main entrance where people were having banners to welcome the new students. The school band was outside, also welcoming the students with their music. Their uniforms were blue shirts & yellow trousers along with a high hat in blue. The driver stopped & got down. He went towards the door of the passenger seats & opened it. As soon as he did, Braeburn fell down while fighting with Soarin over something. Seeing this, the band stopped playing in confusion.

From behind the band, came the Fairy Godmother. She had blonde hair, with a fair skin. She wore a lovely light yellow dress with matching overcoat & a brooch of pear & apple together. “We have an audience…” She said uneasily as she saw what was happening.

By then, the girls had come out & unlike the boys were better at presenting themselves. “Just clean it up, boys!” Twilight said.

The boys got up real quick & got embarrassed by what they did. “Looks like you found it!” Fairy Godmother said, noticing chocolate box over which they were fighting on. “Keep it back, don’t take anything with you…”

Hearing this, the boys kept the chocolates back. Or rather threw them back. Behind the Fairy Godmother was the Prince & a girl with him. Her hair had red streaks over her yellow hair. She was wearing a orange dress with a black overcoat. Soarin looked over at her & said “Hello, the name’s Soarin!” to which the girl just gave a little laugh & hard to tell if it was genuine.

“Welcome to Equestria Prep. I’m Fairy Godmother Pear Butter, the Head Mistress.” Fairy Godmother Pear Butter, introduced.

“THE Fairy Godmother?!” Twilight asked, curiously “As in ‘Bibbidi, bobbidi, boo’ ?”

“Bibbidi bobbidi, you know it!” Fairy Godmother replied.

“Yeah, I always wondered what it felt like for Fluttershy, when you just appeared, out of nowhere! With that sparkly wand & warm smile…” Twilight said, recounting the story of the Fairy.

“That was a long time ago, and as I say, don’t focus on the past or you’ll miss the future!” Fairy Godmother replied.

The Prince came towards them & introduced himself “It’s good to finally meet you all. I’m Flash.”

“Prince Flash Sentry! Soon to be King!” The girl exclaimed.

“Hi there, Prince. My mother’s a Queen, so that makes me a Princess…” Rarity says, doing a little bow towards Flash.

“Queen Chrysalis, has no Royal Status here, and neither do you!” The girl says, giving an awkward smile towards Rarity.

“Uh, this is Sunset!” Flash introduced.

“Princess Sunset Shimmer, his girlfriend… Isn’t it right, Flashy?” Sunset said, properly introducing herself.

“Flash & Sunset will show you around. I’ll see you tomorrow!” Fairy Godmother said before adding “The doors of wisdom are never shut! But the library hours are from 8 to 11 & I may have a little thing about curfews.”

Twilight gave a weak smile after which the Fairy Godmother left, with the whole school band following after her. Flash again comes forward, towards Soarin who just lifts his hand up to avoid any physical contact.

“It’s so so so good to finally meet you.” Flash said, smiling. He shook hands with Twilight saying “This is a momentous occasion & one that will go down, in history.” He shook hands with Braeburn, who had chocolate in his hand. “Chocolate?” Flash asked, still managing to keep his composure. “Today is a day of healing, our two divided worlds get healed.” He said as he shook Rarity’s hand.

“Or the day, you show four people, where the bathrooms are.” Twilight bluntly said, smiling.

“A little bit over the top?” Flash asked Twilight.

“Not more than a little bit!” Twilight smiled wickedly.

“Oh. Well, so much for my first impression….” Flash said as he looked at her & she looked at him. Then they giggled a bit.

“Hey, you’re Nightmare Moon’s daughter, aren’t you?” Sunset intervened. “You know, I would totally not blame you for your mom trying to kill my parents & stuff. Mine is Mistmane, Sleeping Beauty.”

“Yeah... For the name. No, I totally wouldn’t blame your grandparents for inviting everyone in the whole world, but my mother, for their stupid christening.” Twilight bluntly replied.

“Water under the bridge…” Sunset chuckled.

“Totes!” Twilight said, as they gave weird laugh followed by a strange silence.

Flash, getting awkward by that silence, broke it by saying “So, how about a tour?”

“Sure, why not?” Twilight said.

“Equestria Prep was originally built 300 years ago & converted into a high school by my father when he became King.” Flash said as he led the new students to the school’s fountain. He stopped to stare at the statue of his father, a man, with a warm smile on his face. When he clapped his hands, the statue morphed into a long & monstrous creature. It balanced on a horse & dragon leg, with a paw & talon as hands. His head had two horns of different species. Overall, his body was a hodgepodge of different parts. Seeing this happen, Braeburn shrieked & jumped on Soarin.

“Braeburn, it’s okay.” Flash tried to explain “My father wanted this statue to morph from a Draconequus to a man to remind us that anything is possible.”

“Does he look scary?” Twilight asked.

“Nah, he never turns into a Draconequus anymore. Even if he does, that’s very rare.” Flash replied as he led them inside.

Braeburn jumped off Soarin & after everyone followed the Prince, he tried to morph the statue back to its normal state by clapping hands. When it didn’t turn back, he just rushed off behind the others.

“So, you guys have a lot of magic here in Equestria? Like wands & things like that.” Twilight asked.

“Yeah, it exists of course, but it’s pretty much retired. Most of us here are just, ordinary mortals.” Flash explained.

“Who happened to be Kings & Queens…” Twilight raised the point.

“That’s true! Our Royal Blood goes back hundreds of years!” Sunset again intervenes, giggling with Flash.

Flash notices a boy with green hair, wearing the uniform of the school band walking down the flight of stairs with some papers in his hand.

“Spike, Spike, come down!” Flash calls out.

As Flash went towards Spike, Sunset shoots a not so good glare at Twilight to which Twilight just smiles at. Oh, what a brat…. Was all Twilight thought about her.

Flash comes towards the gang with his hand on Spike’s shoulder, saying “This is Spike. He’s going to help you with your class schedules & show you the rest of the dorms. I’ll see you later, okay? And if there’s anything you need, feel free to …”

“Ask Spike!” Sunset quickly completed the sentence.They laughed a bit which was again awkward. Sunset left the gang & Flash gave a smile before joining his girlfriend.

“Hey guys, I’m Ember’s son. As in Ember, Smolder, Grumble…” Spike introduced himself.

“Okay, okay, we get it…” Rarity said, bored of all introductions. “I’m Rarity, Queen Chrysalis’ daughter.”

“Okay, so about your classes,” Spike started nervously as he saw one of most beautiful girls. Sure, others were beautiful, but not like her. “I, uh, put in the requirements already.” Twilight went towards him & leaned into the paper he was reading from. “History of Equestria, safety rules for the usage of internet & uh, remedial goodness 101.” Spike completed.

“Let me guess, new class?” Twilight said from over his shoulder.

Spike just nodded in response. Rarity went on twirling her hair in front of him which made it very hard for him to have a neutral composure.

“Come on, guys. Let’s go find our dorms.” Twilight said, as they moved towards a flight of stairs.

Spike, still entranced by Rarity’s beauty, processes things after she’s out of his sight. “Oh, uh, yeah, your dorms are that way guys.” He pointed to the opposite flight of stairs. The gang just shrugged in response & ran to the mentioned staircase.

“Rarity is so beautiful….how?” Spike said. Braeburn, who was running after the gang, stopped & said “I don’t know, she just does.” before joining his gang.

Twilight opens the door to her & her friend’s room. The room was very different, compared to what was there at the Isle. The room had two beds, with two windows ; one on their right & the other at the center. The room was pastel coloured, along with the bed too. There was a dining table, some chairs, a bedside table over which there was a lamp.

“This place is so amaz…” Rarity complimented.

“Gross.” Twilight completed Rarity’s sentence.

“I, I know right? Amazingly gross! Ew.” Rarity said to match her friend’s speech.

“Ugh, I’m going to need some serious sunscreen…” Twilight says.

“Yeah…” Rarity managed to say.

“Rare” Twilight said as she pointed to the window curtains. Rarity, immediately understood what her friend wanted to do & immediately pulled the curtains on the window. Twilight went to the other window & closed its curtains.

“Whew, that is much better!” Twilight said, relieved that it isn’t bright in the room anymore.

It’s evening at Equestria. Well, in the Isle, you can’t say what time of the day it is unless you check the clocks as there is a huge dark cloud over the Isle that prevents any sunlight there. That’s the reason that Twilight was feeling so uneasy in the room. Now, back to the story.

Braeburn was busy playing a VR game when Twilight & Rarity decided to pay them a little visit to their room. Despite noticing that the girls are there, or he is too absorbed in playing, he doesn’t stop & continues the game. The girls go over to Soarin who is busy doing something.

“Soarin, what is this?” Twilight asks looking at the heap of things on the bed.

“This is all what I stole…” Soarin smirks.

“Okay… what’s the point?” Twilight asks.

“Well, Twilight, it’s like buying whatever I want. Except its free.” Soarin replied.

“Ha, okay, so you could do that or leave all of this here & pick it up when we take over the world!” Twilight suggested.

“You sound just like your mom…” Rarity commented.

“Thank you!” Twilight said.

“You do your way & I’ll do mine!” Soarin said, leaving the girls to themselves.

“Yeah, suckers! Hey Soarin, check this thing out! It’s awesome!” Braeburn said as he went towards Soarin to give the controls.

Soarin took the controls of the game & started playing. Twilight, who came here for a completely different purpose, shouted “Guys! Do I have to remind you what we all came here for?”

“Fairy Godmother, blah, blah, blah. Magic Wand, blah, blah, blah.” Soarin said, boredly. Hearing this, everyone laughed except Twilight.

“This is our one chance,” Twilight started, in a serious tone “to prove ourselves to our parents. To prove that we are evil & vicious & ruthless & cruel. Yeah?”

Hearing this, everyone said “Yeah…” in a low voice.

“Rarity, mirror me.” Twilight said as she sat on a chair near the table followed by others doing the same.

“Mirror, mirror on the… in my hand,” Rarity started “where is Fairy Godmother’s Wand…. Stand?” As soon as she said so, the mirror glowed, showing the wand.

“There it is!” Twilight exclaimed.

“Zoom out!” Braeburn said.

“Magic mirror, not so close.” Rarity instructed the mirror. When she said so, the mirror showed the wand’s location from Earth. “Closer, closer, closer!” Rarity went on instructing that mirror.

Braeburn, completely bored about this asked “Can I go back to my game? I’m on level three.”

Twilight suddenly said “Stop!” which frightened Braeburn. “It’s in the museum. Do we know where that is?”

Braeburn quickly searched in the computer next to him. “2.3 miles from here.” He stated.

Twilight opened the door of the room. She checked for anyone in the corridor. When she was certain that no one is there, she said “Come on!” before going out. Rarity & Soarin followed Twilight. Braeburn was again busy playing the game by himself. Twilight noticed that he wasn’t with them & called him. He then quickly followed them.

They ran & ran as fast as they could. Finally, they reached the museum. ‘The Museum of Cultural History’ was the name.

“Check the mirror!” Twilight said, in an urgent tone.

“Is my mascara smudged?” Rarity asked.

“Yeah. And while you’re at it,” Twilight said, boredly “why don’t you see if you can find us the wand?”

“Sure, this way!” Rarity led her gang. They came across doors towards their destination. The door was made of glass in its upper half through which Twilight & her gang saw through. As they looked through, they noticed a security guard, checking the CCTV Camera’s footage. As they were looking intently at him, he suddenly turned his chair towards the door. Luckily, they hid fast. Then they looked closely at a spinning wheel. The signboard next to it wrote ‘Nightmare Moon’s Spinning Wheel’.

“That’s your mother’s spinning wheel?” Soarin mockingly asked Twilight.

“Yeah, it’s kinda dorky…” Added Braeburn.

“It’s magic. It doesn’t have to look scary.” Twilight defended. She then took out her book which her mother gave her & recited a spell from it. “Magic spindle, do not linger. Make my victim prick a finger!”

The security guard just sat there, unaffected by the spell cast by Twilight. “Impressive.” Soarin mocked again.

“I got chills!” Braeburn also mocked.

“Okay, you know what?” Twilight said, before reciting another spell “Prick the finger, prick it deep. Send my enemy off to sleep!”

The security guard then stood up, went near the spindle & pricked himself. He then yawned & slept at the platform on which the spindle was kept on.

“Not so dorky now, huh?” Twilight asked, replying to the earlier mocking. She then tried to open the door by pulling & pushing the handle, but all it did was rattle.

“Stand back.” Soarin said confidently. Or probably over-confidently. As Soarin went back, Twilight quickly recited another spell “Make it easy, make it quick. Open up without a kick!” As soon as she said the words, the doors opened. But unfortunately, Soarin was thinking of kicking his way in. He fell down hard on the ground. The girls laughed at this.

“Coming?” Twilight mockingly asked Soarin as she made her way in.

“Come on, Soarin.” Braeburn said as the girls went in. He helped Soarin to his feet.

“I’m good!” Soarin replied, embarrassed.

“Just trying to help!” Braeburn replied.

They make their way towards the sleeping security guard after which Twilight says “Shh!” to remind them to stay quiet here.They look at the wall mountings that were there. Accidentally, Braeburn touches the leg of the security guard. Luckily for them, the security guard just turned in his sleep.

Twilight whispered “Braeburn!”

“Coming!” Braeburn replied, moving towards his gang.

“So close!” Rarity said, guiding the gang to the wand. “Upstairs!” She said in whispers.

“Come on, go, go, go, go!” Twilight told her gang.”Up, up, up, up, up!”

“Come on guys, we’re almost there!” Rarity whispered.

They reached upstairs & moved to the left corner to find the statues of their parents. They walked slowly towards them.

“Mommy?” Rarity asked, looking at the statue of her mother.

“Killer…” Soarin said, looking at the statue of his father.

“I will never forget mother’s day again.” Braeburn said, looking at the statue of his mother.

“Well, the wand’s not here. Let’s bounce!” Soarin said, feeling awkward. “Let’s go!” He said, bringing the gang back to reality. Well almost the entire gang. Twilight was still standing there looking at the statue of her mother. She slowly walked towards the statue of her mother while remembering the last words she spoke to her. “The future of the free world rests upon your shoulders. Don’t blow it.” Still looking, she started singing a song.

Look at you,
Look at me.
I don’t know who to be,
Mother.
Is it wrong,
Is it right?
Be a thief in the night,
Mother!
Tell me what to do.

Rarity, noticing that Twilight hadn’t come, appears from outside & says “Twilight, come on!” before going back to join the gang. Twilight turns to leave, but suddenly hears a familiar cackle from behind her. When she turns back, she sees her mother, alive!

“Don’t be so serious, darling!” Nightmare Moon said, laughing. “I’m sorry!” She said before singing.

I was one like you my child,
Slightly insecure.

She motions Twilight to come towards her. She then came down from her pedestal towards her daughter.

Argued with my mother too,
Thought I was mature.

Twilight sits at the steps to her mother’s pedestal & Nightmare Moon sits near her.

But I put my heart aside,
And I used my head!

She flung her leg towards Twilight & then upon her other leg. And then she pointed at her own head.

Now I think it’s time you learned,
What dear old Momma said!

Nightmare Moon stood up & touches Twilight’s forehead to which Twilight winces.

Don’t you wanna be evil,
Like me?
Don’t you wanna be mean?
Don’t you wanna make mischief,
Your daily routine?

She then lifted her hand in the air while moving down the steps & Twilight was looking at her with confusion. She then rotates her sceptre & takes it in her other hand. She then goes round her sceptre.

Well you can spend your life,
Attending to the poor.
But when you’re evil,
Doing less is doing more!

She then mimics a poor woman. She then looks at Twilight & raises her sceptre in the air.

Don’t you wanna be ruthless & rotten & mad?
Don’t you wanna be very very good at being bad!

She dragged her sceptre towards Twilight’s left side. Then she kept on rotating her sceptre & brought it’s end back, it’s head pointing towards Twilight who just sat in confusion.

I have tried my whole life long,
To do the worst I can!

Nightmare Moon moved towards Twilight & stood on the steps.

Clawed my way to victory!
Built my master plan!

She looks at Twilight with an devilish smile on her face.

Now the time has come my dear,
For you to take your place!

She then stands behind Twilight & bashed the sceptre’s bottom hard on the ground which sent a shiver down Twilight’s spine.

Promise me you’ll try to be,
An absolute disgrace!

As if controlling Twilight, she raises her hand up & Twilight stands. She then hops down & gives a childish smile to which Twilight replied with a scared face.

Don’t you wanna be evil like me?
Don’t you wanna be cruel?

She then does a little dancing with her sceptre.

Don’t you wanna be nasty & brutal & cool?

She then mimics moving a stick up & down. Then she acts as being cool.

And when you grab that wand,
It’s when your reign begins!

She then throws her sceptre towards Twilight, who catches it. She moves towards Twilight & mimics the action of celebration

Who wants an Evil Queen,
Without a sack of sins!

She then hops back & claps towards Twilight to give back the sceptre.

Don’t you wanna be heartless & hardened as stone?
Don’t you wanna be finger-licking evil to the bone?

She moves her sceptre to her left & right before licking it a bit & playing with it as a guitar.

This is not for us to ponder,
This was preordained!

She suddenly flies into the air, across the room with dark blue flames forming a circle round her pedestal.

You & I shall rule together,
Freedom soon regained!

She points to Twilight & herself before lifting her hands into the air.

Mistress of the Universe,
Powerful & strong!

She slowly reaches the ground, showing that she is powerful.

Daughter,
Hear me,
Help me,
Join me!

She gives her hand to Twilight & takes it back & motions her to join her. Twilight could only see in confusion through all this.

Won’t you sing along?!

Twilight along with her mother come to the centre of the room.

Now we’re gonna be evil, it’s true,
Never gonna think twice!

Nightmare Moon & Twilight both singed together, holding the sceptre.

And we’re gonna be spiteful!

Twilight sang, pulling the sceptre towards her.

Yes, spiteful.
That’s nice!

Nightmare Moon pulled the sceptre towards her as she thought about what her daughter said.

In just a hour or two,
Our futures safe & sure!

They both circled round each other, doing a little dance.

This mother-daughter act is,
Going out on tour!

Nightmare Moon sang as she & her daughter both held the sceptre as they made the way up to her pedestal.

If you wanna be evil & awful & free!

She pointed at her daughter & imitated her being the evilest person while giving her hand to Twilight. Twilight accepted It, letting go off the sceptre which her mother took.

Then you should thank your lucky stars,
That you were born the girl you are!

She did a little dance after which the room glowed as if made of stars. She put her sceptre on either side of Twilight & sent her down the steps while Nightmare Moon danced.

The daughter of an Evilicious Queen!

She kept on dancing as she was raised into the air again. Twilight again looked at her mother in confusion.

Like Me!!!

She sang as she was raised very high & then she cackled very loudly with dark blue lightning engulfing her.

“Hey, I found the wand! Come on!” Rarity said as she again came to bring Twilight. Twilight looked at Rarity & when she was gone, she looked back at her mother, only to see her as a statue, again! Twilight shrugged the uneasy feeling off & joined her gang.

“There it is!” Rarity said as she pointed at the wand.

“Whoo!” Twilight replied. They then escaped through a gate to reach the magical wand.

Soarin reached the wand first & looked at it intently. The others joined him in seeing the wand intently. Soarin couldn’t help but go towards the wand. “Soarin, don’t!” Twilight warned.

Soarin went on towards the wand. “Soarin, no, no, no!” Twilight warned but to no use. He went to grab the wand but failed to notice that it was protected. As soon as he went to grab the wand, his hand touched the magical barrier around the wand. Soarin was thrown back from the impact of the barrier & a loud noisy alarm was switched on which woke up the security guard.

“The force field & the siren?!” Soarin said, trying to cover his ears from the loud siren.

“That was excessive!” Twilight tried to yell over the loud siren. They ran away from the wand as quickly as possible. They took another route to that of the security guard. The security guard searched for anything near the wand while the gang were running for their lives.

A telephone was ringing when the gang reached the ground floor. Braeburn received the call. “Hello? Uh yeah, um, give me a second…” He said as he typed some buttons nearby which stopped the siren. “No, no, it was a false alarm. There was a malfunction in the, uh, IM 714 chip in the breadboard circuit. Okay, say hi to missus!” He finished as he slammed the disconnect button & ran with the gang.

“Braeburn!” Twilight yelled.

“You’re welcome!” Braeburn replied as he ran.

The security guard returns to the ground floor to find nobody there.

“Way to go, Soarin!” Twilight says, gasping for breath & still running. “Now we go to school tomorrow!”
