Prologue

Morning. Rays of sun. Twilight opens her eyes wide awake.

"Oh no, no, no, no!" she said. "I am late!"
Rushing. Running. Getting ready. Coming to school just on time.

Phew! Twilight thought to herself.

It was 2 weeks until graduation and prom. Everyone was thinking about it, everyone was talking about it and everyone was preparing for it. Twilight wanted to ask Sunset, her longtime crush who still doesn't have a date to prom, to go with her as her date. She would ask her way sooner but she first needed to go through every possible situation and reply. She can't risk not being ready. Anyway, today was finally that faithful day she will ask her out.

"That was a close one." Twilight said while sitting next to Sunset.

"Oh, come on. You're usually never late. Even if you came few minutes later, teacher wouldn't be mad." Sunset reassured her.

"I guess you're right." Twilight replied smiling.


Lunch time. Girls are sitting together on the table, eating, no one is saying anything.

"So... I have already made us all dresses for prom!" Rarity excitedly broke the silence.

"You know, you didn't really have to do all that for us but we really appreciate it." said Applejack.

"Pft, it was really nothing. I had fun making them!"

As a matter of fact, none of the girls had a date to the prom yet. There was still time though!

Lunch was over. Everyone was heading to their classes.

"Sunset Shimmer!" Twilight yelled in the hallway.

"Yes, Twilight?" Sunset turned around.

"I have something I need to tell you. Ask actually. You see--"

Suddenly a random girl ran and bumped into them. They all fell on the floor and the girl's necklace, that she was holding in hands, fell in front of Sunset.

"Oh my! I am SO SORRY!" the girl apologized.

"Don't worry about it." Sunset replied.

The girl picked her necklace up and left in a rush. Sunset and Twilight stood up.

"Did you see that necklace she had?" Sunset asked.

"Yes, what about it?" Twilight was curious.

"I don't know... it just seems awfully familiar."

"Oh... you don't think it's from Equestria, right?"

"Could be. I can't remember."

"And why are you two still here? Get to the class, girls!" Luna interrupted.

The girls went to class.


After school.

"What was that important thing you wanted to ask me?" Sunset turned to Twilight.

"Oh, right! Well... you see... I was just wondering---"

"Twily!" Shining Armor interupted.

"Shining Armor? What are you doing here?" Twilight was confused.

"It's our B.B.B.F.F. and L.S.B.F.F. (little sister best friend forever) day for going to try, once again, to finish that big ice cream bowl they have at our favourite ice scream shop. Did you forget that?"

"Oh no, no! I just wanted to see if YOU still remember!"

"Riiiight." Shining Armor was proud he didn't forget. "Let's just go already, I am ready to finish that ice cream challenge!"

"I'll tell you tomorrow, Sunset. Once we have more.... privacy." Twilight whispered.

"Alright. Have fun!" Sunset replied.

"You too! See you tomorrow!"

"See ya!"


Rarity's botique. The door rang.

"IT'S OPEN!" yelled Rarity who was working fast and hard to finish all the prom dresses requests.

"Hey there, Rarity!" Applejack came in. "I brought you the fabric you asked me to bring."

"Oh thank you so much, darling. Please put it over there, I am really busy at the moment."

"Sure thing!"

Applejack put the box with fabric where Rarity showed her.

"Isn't it ironic? I have always dreamed about going to prom with that someone special and now I'm going alone." Rarity suddenly said.

"Well, is there anyone you wanna go with?"

"Yes, but... I don't know if she would want to go with me."

"Well did you ask her?"

"No..."

"I think you should. After all, it can't hurt ya to try! Plus then you'll at least know you tried."

"Hm.. I'll see about that. Thanks for the advice, darling."

"T'was nothing, sugarcube!"

The explosion with what seemed like magic was heard from outside. Both Applejack and Rarity ran outside to see what happened. Mysteriously, nothing was there.

"Well this is weird." Rarity said.

"Very weird." added Applejack.


Later Applejack returned home. Pinkie was there for a good old family visit. Pinkie and Applejack when to Applejack's room.

"Uh, Pinkie Ah have a problem. Can I ask you for advice?"

"Of course! What's the problem about?"

"Asking someone out to prom."

"Oh but why don't you ask Rarity about that? She's an expert!"

"'Cause... agh... you see, I have a crush on both Rarity and Rainbow Dash and I don't know which one I love more!" Applejack said fastly.

"OHHHHH!! Well that's rough, buddy!" Pinkie replied. "I think you should of course think about it more but not for too long because prom is in 2 weeks. Just follow your heart!"

"That's a really good advice! Thanks, Pinkie!"
"Always!"

"You have a crush on my sister?!" Sweetie Belle entered with Scootaloo and Apple Bloom.

"And my... kinda... sister?!"

"Erm... we couldn't help but overhear your coversation when we tried so hard to hear it." Apple Bloom said shyly.

"You did what?!" Applejack was angry.

"Don't worry, don't worry. We find that super cool and we want to help!" Sweetie Belle tried to calm the situation.

"Help? Aghh, alright, let me hear your advice too.

"Well, I think you should see which one you're in love with and which one you have a crush on. There's a big difference. Be sure before you tell any of them!" Apple Bloom said.

"That's actually a really good advice! Thanks, Apple Bloom!" AJ replied.

"I'm glad to help!"

"And we will put bets on who it will be!" Scootaloo said. "No? Ugh fine! But I'm sure it will be Rainbow Dash!"

"Nu-uh! It will DEFINETLY be Rarity!" Sweetie Belle argued.

"Hahahah, now please excuse us." Apple Bloom said while dragging Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle outside.

"Whoever that is just follow your heart!" Apple Bloom's yell was the last thing they heard from them.


Shining Armor and Twilight went to their favourite ice cream shop and ordered biggest bowl of ice cream as they have planned.

"So, can your B.B.B.F.F. know if you have a crush on that girl?"

"What?! Which girl?! What do you know?!" Twilight was in panic.

"Hahah oh come on, Twily. I saw the way you were looking at Sunset. But don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"I.. it was... okay fine, I do have a crush on Sunset and I finally planned to ask her to be my prom date but it didn't really go as planned."

"Oh! Well, don't stress over it now. I'm sure it will go great tomorrow."

"Thanks." Twilight replied. "Can I ask you something?"

"Did she look at you the same way you did her? Yes, yes she did!"

"You know me so well." Twilight felt bit relieved.


"Ugh, Fluttershy you know I love helping my friends but how long do we need to stay in the shelter. I want to make it to my football practice." Rainbow Dash complained.

"Just a little more."

"Ugh, alright, alright!"

They continued to take care of the animals in Fluttershy's shelter.

"It has been a while now since last Equestrian magic adventure happened." Rainbow noticed.

"Oh, I hope there won't be one soon. I don't need that stress added to school stress."

"And I, on the other hand, do hope some action will happen. It would be so exciting, fighting some evil magic on our final day in school. On prom night! That would be so epic"

"Epic... or scary...."

"I don't think you should worry about it though. It seems like it will be just a regular prom."


Sunset was walking down the street. She saw the girl with the necklace across the street.

Hey that's the girl from school! she thought to herself. I'll go and greet her!

Then the girl's necklace started glowing. Sunset stopped and looked at her in shock as she lifted in the air, her eyes glowing white. Sunset hid in the nearby bush.

The necklace drained something Sunset was unable to identify from some random guy who then turned to stone.

Did she just kill him? Sunset was terrified.

Girl landed back on the floor. She furiously yelled "Not again!! I always catch the wrong ones! You can't ran forever Sunset Shimmer and her friends! I'll find out who you are, get all of your magic and then rule the world!"
