I Will Fear No Evil...
How To Tick Katrina Off
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"I'm sorry, I just saw it and I thought I should give it to her. I didn't know you had dropped it." I hear EQG Fluttershy say. Even though I've seen this movie at least one hundred times, hearing her so scared and defenceless fills me with what my mom calls righteous anger.
I start to clench my teeth to try to calm myself, though it gets harder when I hear Sunset say, "Well, I did, and I was just about to grab it. You shouldn't grab stuff that doesn't belong to you."
"It doesn't really belong to you either." Wow. This Fluttershy is sassy, for her anyway. Hey, cut me some slack, I haven't seen the movie since it got taken off of Netflix. Some things are bound to slip through the cracks in my memory.
"EXCUSE ME!?" Sunset yells aggressively.
"Nothing." Fluttershy whimpers.
"That's right. It's as good as mine and you know it. You're pathetic. No wonder your only friends are stray animals."
Okay, that's it. I'm not backing down. I played it safe. But now things have changed. I'm not going to stay silent this time. "HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO HER THAT WAY!" I shout.
"What did you say!?" Sunset asks shocked, likely that someone would be bold enough to stand up to her.
"You heard me. I said how dare you speak to her that way."
Her shocked look fades and turns into a smirk. "You must be..."
"New here?" I say cutting her off and grabbing her hand, "Why yes. Yes I am." I say with my own smirk, which fades as I say, "But I do know this. You can't do anything you want. Now look, I don't want to fight you. But I will if you don't leave this young lady alone. Your choice, either leave this hallway now, or put up your dukes." I say putting up mine to show I mean business.
"Y-y-you'll regret this. I'll get back at you. " She says sputtering. And then runs away with her proverbial tail between her legs. It's all I can do to not shout 'don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya' as she runs.
"I can't believe you did that." Fluttershy says shocked.
"Well, what was I supposed to do? Sit idly by and do nothing?" I say somewhat joking.
"It's just, nobody stands up to Sunset Shimmer."
"Why?" I ask, already knowing why.
"She's the meanest person in school. I don't think I've seen you around before. Did you just transfer to Canterlot High from another school?"
"Yes. I just transferred from LFG Academy, it's a private school. My name is Ka- Twilight Sparkle. What's yours?" I say, hoping she doesn't notice my fluke.
"It's Fluttershy."
"Fluttershy. That's a beautiful name. Would you like to meet my dog?" I say grabbing my backpack.
"You have a dog?" She says with a surprised expression on her face.
"Yes his name is Spike."
"Oh he's darling. Don't you wish you could know what he's thinking?"
"Yeah. Just out of curiosity, you were talking about something being dropped. It wasn't a crown, was it?"
"Yes. How did you know?"
"Lucky guess. You said you gave it to someone. Who was that? And how did you find the crown? Please answer the second question first."
"Well, I was handing out flyers for the animal shelter like I do every Wednesday."
"Cool. Do you have one of them? I'd love to take a look."
"Um, sure. Here." Fluttershy says as she hands one to me.
"I'll definitely volunteer soon." If I'm still here. I add silently. "Sorry for interrupting you. Please continue."
"Then I felt the crown hit my head. I had no idea how it got there. So I gave it to Principal Celestia."
"Hmm. Interesting. Do you know where I can find her?"
"She's usually in her office."
"Could you point me in the right direction?"
"Third door on your left down that hallway." Fluttershy says pointing.
"Thank you so much. I'll see you around. Spike. Get in." I say while pointing to the backpack.
He whines while looking at me with puppy eyes. I narrow my eyes in return and he growls, but gets in.
The bell then rings and Fluttershy says, "Oops, I'm late for class. Bye."
After walking to the door of Celestia's office, I knock.
"Come in." I hear her say less than thrilled.
So I walk in like a normal person would.
"How may I help you." Again, gotta love her attitude.
"I'm a new transfer. And I was wondering if Fluttershy had given you a crown?"
"Why yes, Yes she did. I gave it to Vice Principal Luna for safekeeping. No idea how it ended up on the front lawn. Would you be interested in running for Fall Formal Princess Miss...?"
"Oh, my name is Ka- Twilight. Twilight Sparkle." I say. Wishing I could stop referring to myself as Katrina. How come I could get it right with Flash, but I can't seem to do it with anyone else. "Fall Formal? What's that?"
"It's Canterlot High's big fall dance." Again, I can't stress this enough. She reminds me of Roberta. She was the lady who "helped" me get my learners permit, helped being a loose term. She acted like I was a nuisance and she would rather be anywhere else.
"Cool. How do I sign up?"
"Just tell the head of the Fall Formal planning committee that you want to be on the ballot."
"Thank you."
"If you need anything else, my door is always open." She says before slamming the door. Yeah, I really think you're going to have my back.
"Twilight, Why didn't you say that the crown was yours and ask for it back?" Spike asks.
"Well, when we first came here I was planning to. But what if someone from here ended up in Equestria and said they were from a human world? We'd think they were crazy." Says the human girl who's starting to worry about how long she can keep up this charade. Especially with Spike living with me.
"Eh, touche."
"If I want to get my crown back I'll have to beat Sunset at her own game."
"And how are you going to do that?"
"I have no idea!"
