"What do I do?" I ask aloud. This is along the lines of the worst dilemma I've ever had. I sigh and bite my nails. I know it's a bad habit, but I can't seem to break it. Especially when I'm nervous or scared.

I lift my eyes to the heavens and pray aloud, "God, I need your guidance. I'm scared and I don't know what to do. I know that honesty is the best policy, but I'm so scared, I had next to no friends back home and those I have had were 'fair weather friends.' It led me to make bad decisions and nearly cost me my life." I relive those moments and I cry about how I chose to live and how close I came to death. "I don't know if these friends are going to be the same way. I need you now. Help me in my decisions. I pray again for my family and Twilight. In your holy name, amen."

I take a deep breath and run into a dressing room in Rarity's boutique.

"Are you alright Darling?" I hear Rarity ask.

"I'm... Ok. I'll be out in a minute." I say hesitantly.

I let Spike out and say, "What should I do Spike? I know what Twilight would do, but that would be lying for me."

Spike thinks for a minute then says, "What does that book of yours say?"

I am taken aback for a minute, then I say, "'And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.'" In that moment it becomes clear what I am supposed to do. I change my shirt back to the one I was wearing when I arrived here and take a deep breath and walk out of the dressing room.

"Guys, I have to tell you something." I say.

"What is it sugarcube?" AJ asks.

"You can tell us." Fluttershy adds.

"Well, I'm-"

Pinkie then cuts me off and says, "You're from an alternate world and you're a pony princess there and the crown actually has a magical element embedded in it that helps power up other magical elements, and without it, they don't work anymore, and you need them to help protect your magical world, and if you don't get the crown tonight, you'll be stuck in this world and you won't be able to get back for, like, a really, really long time!" Then she makes a squeaking noise.

"Well, I guess that is kinda true now, but there are a few key differences. You see my name isn't Twilight Sparkle. It's Katrina Miller. I ended up here from a different world by buying a replica of a crown from a TV show I watched. I transformed into Twilight and now I am from an alternate world and I'm now trying to figure out how to make this work." I take a deep breath and bite my lip, expecting someone to say that my experience is made up.

"I believe her." Fluttershy says breaking the silence.

Everyone looks at her completely shocked.

"I uh, was curious about that school you mentioned so I looked it up and I couldn't find it anywhere. Not even a foreign school. So that is a likely explanation."

"Ah believe her too." AJ adds.

Soon all the girls are asking me about my adventure. I raise my voice above the rest of them and say, "I'd love to tell you all more but, well, the part about the crown is true. And Snips and Snails trashed the gymnasium, and the Fall Formal has to happen tonight. Will you all help me?"

"Of course Katrina." Pinkie says.

"Yea Friendship!" Spike shouts.

Everyone looks at Spike and says in unison, "Did he just speak?!"

"Yes, Spike here is a ferocious fire breathing Dragon in Equestria. So he can speak." I say nonchalantly.

"Okay." Rainbow says.

We walk together towards the school, stopping for Pinkie to grab some more party supplies. As soon as we arrive, the Humane Five gape at the damage.

"They sure did a number on this." Rainbow quips.

"I know it's a lot to do, and it seems impossible, but 'We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength.' Maybe if we work together we can do this."

"Let's do this thing!" Pinkie shouts.

Instead of singing silently, I sing loudly as we clean,

"It's time for us to come together
It's the only way that things will get better It's time for us to take a stand
So come on and lend a helping hand."

The rest of the girls join in and sing,

"Fix it up
Yeah, it's all right
We'll get it ready by tonight
Mix it up
Yeah, help a friend
We'll come together in the end."

Pinkie and Rainbow sing the next part,

"It's time to show that we've got school spirit
Raise your voice and let everyone hear it"

Then Rarity and AJ sing,

"It's time to show that we're strong
So come on, everybody, sing along."

During this, others come in and start helping.

The others sing backup while me and the Humane Five sing the main part.

"Look how we've all come together
Things are only just starting to get better
Look how we've all come together
Things are only gonna get better, better, better, better!

Fix it up, yeah, it's all right
We'll get it ready by tonight
Mix it up, yeah, help a friend
We'll come together in the end
Fix it up, yeah, it's all right
We'll get it ready by tonight
Mix it up, yeah, help a friend
We'll come together, together now!"

"This... looks... sooooo... GOOD!" Pinkie says excitedly.

"You said it!" I say with a chuckle.

Celestia steps out and claps and announces, "All right, everyone! Fall Formal is back on for this evening." A cheer goes up around the gym. "So you'd better get out of here and start getting ready. Oh, and don't forget to cast your ballots for the Fall Formal Princess on your way out." She finishes.

A boy with magenta eyes, dark gray skin, and blue hair who was wearing a football uniform said, "You got my vote, Twilight."

Others agreed and we cast our votes.

As me and my friends walked towards the boutique I decided to clarify something. "I know that I told you all that my name is Katrina, but I'd appreciate it if you'd call me Twilight."

"Why would you prefer that?" Rarity asks, "It's a simply devine name."

"Because I need to get used to answering to Twilight, I mean, What would you think if one of you had trouble answering to your own name?" I explain.

"You're right Twilight. I'd think it's odd if mah sister had trouble with that all the time."

I giggle at the irony in that and thank them.

We arrive at the boutique and Fluttershy, who had been very quiet during the walk over, exclaims, "I can't believe we pulled that off!"

"I can. 'Cause we're awesome!" Rainbow shouts.

"Enough chatter, girls. We need to get ready, and we need to look fabulous!" Rarity interjects

We get ready and I start to sing inwardly.

What are the chances
That we'd be here today
Different girls from different worlds
Tryin' to find our own way
Now we're the perfect team
Sharing the same dream

All for one, who knew
Together we know what to do
Strong hearts, strong minds
Fighting for what's right every time
United, decided
We'll never be divided
All for one, one for all

We start by looking at dresses, I see the one Twilight wears at the Fall Formal, but if this outfit I'm wearing is too risqué for me, then this one is a heck no. I hide it so Rarity can't try to have me wear it.

Don't try to stop us
Or keep us down and out
The power of six, we're in this mix,
And now there is no doubt
Answering the call
Breaking down the wall

All for one, it's true
Together we know what to do
Strong hearts, strong minds
Fighting for what's right every time
United, decided
We'll never be divided
All for one, one for all

Pinkie styles her hair and finally decides to keep it normal.

We may look beautiful
We may be dutiful
But don't be fooled by our finesse (la, la, la, la)
We're here to save the day
Come on, let's show the way,
We're no damsels in distress
Don't mess with the dress

All for one, it's true,
Together we know what to do
Strong hearts, strong minds
Fighting for what's right every time
United, decided
We'll never be divided
All for one, one for all

Since Rarity couldn't find the dress I hid, my dress is different from the one in the movie, it's a high-low cut purple dress with pink stars on it. The shoes are purple high heels. "Wow, you look amazing Twilight." Fluttershy says in awe.

The others are in the same outfits as they were in the movie.

"I've got a limo for us!" Pinkie squeals.

"How did...?" Rainbow says shocked.

"Let's not question it. This is Pinkie after all." I remind her.

"Let's go have some good old fashioned fun." AJ says.

"Indeed." Rarity adds.

We step into the limo and just generally joke and talk.

"I love this dress Rarity. It's so beautiful." Fluttershy compliments.

"You get only the best from Rarity's boutique! I'm glad you like it." Rarity responds.

"This is a pretty sweet ride." Rainbow jokes, holding lollipops.

Pinkie giggles at that. "Great joke Rainbow. I missed this."

Everyone agrees.

"We're here." AJ remarks.

"And there's Flash. I wonder who he's looking for." Rarity says with a wink.

We step out of the limo, ready for the party.
