Chapters Dear princes Twilight,
I have to say , the way that my shopping with Rarity turned out was quite unexpected!
She was waiting for me at the mall, after that I caught up with her and we started to check the shops and buy stuff for ourselves . We were checking out a clothes shop . She decided to try on some of the clothes there. The owner told her worker to show Rarity to the dressing room but I didn't like her tone.
"FROSTY CREAM! show thus lady the way."
"Yes, Ma'am."
While she was getting dressed, I looked at the clothes and found myself the most beautiful and catchy jacket that I've every seen in my life. It was made out of dark leather and had some red accents at the end of sleeves and the shoulders. I just bought it right away. Rarity came out and asked my opinion about violet and white dress . She seemed good so I said good.
We checked some other shops along the way. She bought some perfume and few more clothes and I bought myself a new pair of boots. They were on 50% sale; a nice bargain, if you ask me. Anyway, Rarity offered to sew up a sun symbol on the back of my new jacket. I was really flatterd at that moment so I accepted And gave her the jacket. Then I decided to ask her about Flaming Star and Steely Armor since we were pretty much done with shopping.
"So, uh, what do you think of our new friends?"
"Oh, darling , if you mean Flaming Star I have to say you two make a very cute couple."
"I guess- WAIT WHAT! ?" I was totally shocked by the answer she gave to me . I really, really didn’t expect that!
"Oh, you don't need to hide your date from me."
"What date? What are you talking about?"
" you know what I'm talking about: after school, sun flowers, walk to the café . Ringing any bell? "
Oh no! The Echo Launcher! She was talking about the time I went out with Flaming Star to try to get some information about Steely Armor . But how did she find out about that ?"
Rarity continued "I mean I don't blame you , he is handsome and a-"
"No no no no! No no you've got it all wrong! I can't even stand his sarcastic egoism for ten minutes, how can I go out on a date with him?! I.... I'll explain it to you later. Right now I'm kind of unsettled."
"What ever you say , daring." Then she winked at me.
I'm in a big trouble!"

The next day when I went to school, Rarity was waiting for me -- waiting for my explanation to her why I went out with Flaming Star wich was not easy. But I needed to do it since I was preety sure she would tell others soon and if she did I needed to make a big, I mean Big explanation to all of them. I wonder how much did she understand anyway?
So I told her that HE wanted to apologise ME for wasting my time toturing him in math, since HE presented that he didn't know anything math but in fact HE knows math evenue better than I do!
But after remembering all the pain and headache it didn't seem like I was confessing to her, not enough. But I figured that I should satisfy her for some time. We needed to head towards the Music Room, not for practicing but for learning. Steely Armor was there by the time we got there; Flaming Star arrived after a couple of minutes. When we were all settled in, Steely Armor started to speak.
"So, we've researched quite a lot, and it seems we have reached an understanding of how magic works. For starters, Let's say that there have to be many other portals and artefacts that came from different dimensions and realities from many years ago, and it should caused some potential of magic to this world. And the crown that sunset shimmer brought here also brought the power of magic of friendship and it probably gothe more powerful over times."
"Wait, so you're saying that magic was here all along?" Raibow Dash asked and actually that washe sort of my question, too.
"No, I'm not saying that, I'm only assuming that's how it is. We can be completely wrong but right now it makes sense. Anyway, about the necklaces, this is the part where we needed to put our experience with them together to come up with an idea, and......give me a second." He walked over to the the black board and tried to explain and draw at the same time.
"So necklaces, as far as we figured out, belong to their owner; in other words it knows where it belongs. But for giving the effect or the special power to the person with whom they are connected they need to be in certain distances and it should probably get stronger or weaker depending on how close or far they are from the source...."
"What the hey are you doin'?" Applejack asked Pinkie Pie, who was scribbling furiosly in a notebook.
"Taking notes, what else, see?"
"Uh, that looks like a drawing of a snowman gettin' hit in the face with a pie."
"It's my own method of shorthand. And that's not a pie, that a cupcake. Me, rookie mistake."
"Anyway," Steely Armor said, cutting off Pinkie Pie before she could say anything else, " since it contains power and energy, using it directly or being used in the hand of the one who it doesn't belong to can give different power effects, so we can assume that the effort for the special ability that we get out of our necklaces is about ourselves and not the necklaces."
He drow a dot at the center of the board and added circles around it in different sizes.
"The necklaces ore made out of crystals, wich explains why they can not be broken easily, and on top of that they have a magical barrier protecting them from any harm. Basicly it's impossible to break or destroy them physically."
"WAIT!" Pinkie shouted , "so can I break nuts with these?"
"Steely Armor just stayed silence and Twilight her head and looked at her. Then she started explaining:
"We think we got our powers together beacause we are connected, and that might be the reason why if one of us uses their powers a lot the others will encounter magical side effects, but it doesn't seem to happen for Steely Armour and Flaming Star!"
"At least they can have fun with it all they want!" Raibow Dash grumped.
"But, it might be beacause they haven't used it a lotry and they haven't ponied up yet. Overall it seems to acthe quite different than us."
"Um, excuse me?" Fluttershy raised her hand , so what about Spike?"
"Who is Spike?" Flaming Star asked."
"Down here!" Came a voice from beneath the grand piano. "I'm Spike!" He said as he scratched his ear with a hind paw.
Flaming Star was clearly shoked. "What the.....a Talking Dog?! Steely? Any explanation?"
"I'm afraid, NO!"
"He's kinda gotten that a lot lately," Twilight said as she picked him up. "Ever since after the Friendship Games against Crystal Perp."
"Guess they just cant handle the awesome."
"I heare ya!" Answered Raibow Dash.
But anyway that was quite interesting!

We all went to our classes afterwards I had history that day and I have to say I really wasn't up for Ms. Dust Fusil's exaggerations.
We hooked up with each other at lunch. For some reason, Twilight didn't look so good. "Are you all right?" I asked. She looked at me and said "Yeah, but I'm a little confused."
"About what?"
"I don't know how, but my club mates said that Steely Armor had beaten them this morning!"
"Uh, wasn't he with us in the music room talking about magic and stuff this morning?" Raibow Dash asked and she was right, he was there.
'That's the point, how could she be in two places at the same time?"
"Is it just me, or does this sound weird?" Applejack asked as she was looking at all of us.
"Maybe he has a twin?" Pinkie Pie said as she was eating her cupcake.
"Nah." Raibow Dash replied, "it can't be. And by the way, he is still suspicious from last time!"
"Um," Fluttershy said, "What do you mean by last time?"
"Uhhh...." Twilight and I looked at her; she had revealed our secrethe just that easily! So I decided to explain everything for them all at that point. It was hard but they deserved to know it now. And I couldn't help not being suspicious about Steely Armor anymore. This was really weird. At least now I don't have to confess Rarity.
We went to pinkies house after school and decided to put our minds together to think of a real answer for how Steely Armor was in two places at the same time. I thought I was never going to suspect Steely Armor for doing anything, but I think it's a little hard now to do.
"I've been researching and studying magic with Steely Armor since we got to be friends, " Twilight began, "and I can say he is a genius. From his theory to his blueprints it's all work of someone really clever. I doubt that his being in two places at once has anything to do with magic. He is still learning; like us." I agreed with her on that, but the others had nothing to say.
So I decided to ask you about this one, too: could any Equesterian magic have caused this?
Dear subset shimmer,
It is not justified, but Steely Armor's theory could be correct. And I think it's not Steely Armor but instead some of Changling magic got through your world; at least that's what I think. Or it might have come by another artefact but I doubt that Changlings have any Artefact that gives them their powers. As near as I can tell, they're born that way; or rather hatched.

The next day I talked to the girls about our little conversation with Steely Armor and the decision I made to go out with Flaming Star. I didn't call it "going out" or "dating", but I don't know what else to call it. Anyway I know what I had to do; Raibow Dash and Pinkie Pie were supposed to follow Steely Armor "undetected" - good luck with that ! Applejack and Fluttershy were supposed to follow me and Flaming star for our back-up plan: create a distraction for me to touch him." Since I know he wouldn't fall for the same trick three times in a row. As for Twilight and Rarity, Twilight was in every class with Steely Armor so she would just be right next to him the whole time. And Rarity decided to make sure I looked "Fabulous" for my "date" for some unknown reason. Of course for her everything is an occasion to look fabulous . It was settled ,so we were at our post when the bell rang.
Finding Flaming Star wasn’t so hard, since he was in music room most of the time and we were in the same classes quite often. But I talked to him after History class. I don't think anyone likes the way Ms. Dusty Fusils exaggerates about the events and the boring invention that happened. Back in Equesteria, we'd just needed to cast a spell and we would have saved a significant amount of time for ourselves. But as I was saying, I did ask him about the "prize" he was supposed to give me for landing a hit on him in Slaughter Alley. "I think you owe me something."
"What, exactly?"
"I don't know; a meal or something . I just know I hit you."
"Oh,easy there now. Let's save the meal for the time you actually defeat me. Right now, your little 'achievement' only rates something from the Café.
"After school, then. Deal?"
"Later. I gotta head home first."
"As long as I get my reward, I’m fine with it."
Then you'd better enjoy it, since you are supposed to go down, not up." He gave me the a devilish smile and then left. He us so on my nerve!
Rarity showed up with my new jacket after school; she had sewn the sun symbol on the back and it was beautiful! "So do you like it?"
"I....I love it!"
"Good. Oh, I also brought this for you." She gave me a pair of blue jeans; she'd distressed the knees. "I think they really go well toghether."
"I'm sure they do, but why should I wear all of this right when I want to see Flaming Star?"
"Come on, darling you should look good!" I couldn't argue with that . I just went to the locker room and changed my clothes for the "date".
"A new look, for me? You shouldn't have gone through the trouble."
"Let's just go inside." I looked around before going in and I spotted Fluttershy and Applejack behind a tree.
He ordered an orange juice, just like last time and I orderd an ice cream. Just like last time. Maybe this was a date because we were two people who knew each other so well we'd become as predictable as.....No, I cut that thought right off!
I fell back on the same old strategy, engaging in small talk about everyday stuff until I felt I could bring up the question: "Can you tell how Steely Armor can be in two places at once? "
"So you've noticed. I'm sorry , I'm afraid I can't tell you!"
"Why not?"
"Steely doesn't want you to know, let's leave it at that. Also, you're quite notorious in his book."
"What do you mean?" I wondered if he was referring to the ECHO Launcher.
"You know what I mean: you played with his toys, and that's just something he doesn’t like at all. But trust me you better off not knowing, at least for now. He will show it to you himself when he trusted you all enough." He drank his orange juice and stood. "Oh, and tell your friends to go home cuz I don't think they hit me in a fight."
"Wait, how do you...."
I think I better take him at his word and wait until Steely Armor shows all of it to us himself. But now I'm just dying to know!

Dear princes Twilight,
I think you'll be suprised if I tell you Steely Armor and the other you have finished those books that you gave me already. They even asked me to give them more books. They sure are nerds of magic! Anyway I gave them more books but it seems they have read those too. Steely Armor told us to come to music room tomorrow , but not for music; that's more of Flaming Star . He said he wants to talk to all of us about something. For sure it's magic.
But I can say that Flaming Star got used to our transformation because we've been doing to every time we play music . He is giving us more of his works and that was what we were looking for. I'm going shopping with Rarity in the afternoon perhaps I can ask her about our new friends too.
I need to start studying for exams , too, since we're going to have a lot of them soon and I'm sure I won't be able to get ready for all of them if I start later. I might get some help from Twilight for that. It worked pretty well last time.
Pinkie came here yesterday, without invitation of course, we stayed up all night and watched movies and ate homemade popcorn. That was really fun, a little unexpected but fun . In the morning, I mean noon, she packed up and left, but before that she told me that Rainbow Dash is going to have soccer match this week. I told her that I would be there and I guess that was assurance enough.
I think that should explain the delay. Again.
Oh. I almost forgot to say that I managed to get a draw from Flaming Star in the Fencing Club. Now that’s an improvement.

Dear princes Twilight,
We took your opinion quite seriously, but what turned out didn’t seem to be about magic at all. Let me explain:
Since you said there might be an imposter who changed shape as Steely Armor, we decided to warn him about it. We also needed to warn Flaming Star about it, too. Rainbow Dash and I went to the garage that We went last time to get our motorcycles repaired . But we didn't know how to find Flaming Star, so we thought we could probably get his phone number from Steely Armor. The rest of us decided to get ready to face the shape shifter and search the school tomorrow.
We got there way faster than last time since we had our motorcycles. Fortunately, Steely Armor was there fixing up a car from underneath. We called him and he came out but he smacked his head in the way.
"Steely Armor?"
"Ouch! Oh Hi! "
"We needed to warn you about something?"
"What?"
"We think there's a .... shape-shifter in the school. And we should probably do something about it."
"A shape-shifter." He thought for a few seconds. And he didn't look at us as if we'd gone crazy. "If they have changed form into one of the students how are we going to find ... if I'm not mistaken, it shouldn't have a specific shape of form, so how did you find out?"
"Twilight told us that she heard from her Chess club mates that you were playing there in the morning."
"Well, yeah, what's the problem?"
"The problem," Raibow Dash said, "is that you were with us in the music room at that time!"
"Yeah, I was there. So what?" That just shocked me right away. He acted like there was nothing really weird about being in TWO places at the SAME time!
"How could you be there, they happend at the same time!"
"Trust me, there's no big deal, and I'm preety sure there is no Shape-shifter in the school. Then he picked up a wrench and disappeard back under the car.
OK, so it turn's out he was right, but now we were back to square one. "How is it that Steely Armor was in two places at once?" He acted like the whole thing wasn't really important. Rainbow Dash and I were left shocked.
Just after we left the garage, Rainbow Dash asked "What should we do now?"
"I'm not sure, but I'm certain that what's happening with him has nothing to do with Equesterian magic, but with Steely Armor himself. And who knows him better that his besties?"
