A High School Tail

Later after Rarity fashion show, or as FlameStar calls it, the fashion disaster, Sunset dropped off FlameStar, Alura and Pinkie at a restaurant named Sweet Snacks Café. Pinkie works there and said she'd be happy to serve FlameStar and Alura. The two of them were hungry after fighting a mad farmer with a pitchfork, performing a fashion show and failing to stop Prince Noir in Equestria.

"Hey FlameStar..?" Alura asked. "Isn't Pinkie the Element of Laughter?"

"Yeah. But how do we get the magic?" FlameStar asked. "We all had a good laugh at Rarity's house, so why didn't she pony up?"

"Can we discuss this with some food?" Alura replied. "I'm starving..." a chuckle escapes FlameStar.

"Alright. Alright. C'mon." The 2 friends got out of Sunset's car and went inside. When they did, everything was bright, flashy and the waitresses uses skates to get around. FlameStar and Alura were surprised. They never saw anything like this but then again, this is Pinkie they were thinking about. She was in her element here. Later, Sunset, FlameStar and Alura sat at a booth where Pinkie awaited to... well wait them.

"Hi again guys! I'll be back soon! Got some more jobs to do." Pinkie skated off. Sunset turned to FlameStar.

"Spill FlameStar. How many elements did you find?"

"We found 2 of them." Answered FlameStar. "Honesty and Generosity."

"Unless you count Pinkie." said Alura. "Then its Honesty, Generosity and Laughter."

Sunset pondered a bit. "Really now." Curious, Alura looked over the booth. She saw a rainbow haired girl with a sports team.

"Hey, Dash? Looks like someone likes your hair." said a teammate. The rainbow haired girl looked up.

"Oh hey there, little girl. Are you a fan?"

"No. I'm a fairy," Alura answered. The team laughed. FlameStar decided to look over and he saw someone who looked just like Rainbow Dash.

"It couldn't be... could it?" FlameStar thought to himself. He brushed it off but Sunset was curious.

"Who'd you see?" She asked.

"Someone who looks an awful lot like Rainbow Dash." FlameStar said. "I'm not sure if it's my fatigue, my deadly hunger or my loss of power but Im too weak to think hard about it." FlameStar then opened up the menu and saw some chicken tenders. "Ooh cool! These look just like the ones from my travels."

"Im intrigued, FlameStar. What are your travels? Where did you go?" asked Sunset.

"Its a long story and not for the faint of heart." FlameStar warned.

"Cmon..." So with that, FlameStar explained his dark past. He told of the creatures and things he has seen on his journey around the world. He even told about his Cutie Mark and how special it is as well as the harrowing and tragic story of it. Sunset was amazed and felt sorry for FlameStar. He lost his parents and his Cutie Mark is all that he remembers them by.

"... and thats when Celestia showed me acceptance and i saved Equestria from eternal ruins!" By the time FlameStar was finished, he had gathered a crowd who listened to his story.

"I guess you're as famous here as you are in Equestria!" Alura laughed.

"Guess so."

"Hey, FlameStar is it? What does this cutie mark of yours do?" A guy asked.

"When i have it, I can make fire from it!" FlameStar explained. "With that mark, I can manipulate heat. Something called--"

"Pyrokenisis?" A girl finished. The crowd stepped back to reveal a purple girl with glasses. She started to slowly retreat to her shell.

"That looks like Princess Twilight. But it couldn't be." FlameStar pondered. "Since when does Twilight need glasses?"

"Thats Sci-Twi. This world's Twilight." Sunset explained. "She's a lot like Princess Twilight but in Equestria, she doesn't have her wings."

FlameStar tuned to the crowd. "Its not that interesting. Go back to what you were doing." He said. The crowd dissolved and went back to their own things. Pinkie was there among the crowd. She was waiting for the crowd to leave.

"What'll it be?" Pinkie asked.

Things aren't going well in Equestria right now. Twilight is still missing. Prince Noir enjoyed his role in Equestria now. Starlight however refused to give up. She went to Siver Shoals to find a pair of certain Alicorns. Sunburst went to the Crystal Empire to ask for help. The Mane 5 still tried what they could to bring FlameStar home.

At Silver Shoals, Starlight wasted no time and went to find Luna and Celestia.

"Celestia! Luna! I need your help!"

"Yes, Starlight?" Celestia asked.

"FlameStar is lost through the Crystal Mirror! The machine keeping it open shattered and Twilight has gone missing!"

"Twilight went missing?" Luna cried.

"Thsts not the worst part. A shadow fairy named Prince Noir took over Canterlot! He's responsible for losing FlameStar."

"Then we must help at once." Celestia said, bravely. "Besides, it could be a new fun adventure! Right, sister?"

"Of course!" Luna said "Lets go." The 3 ponies hurried back to the mirror to try and fix it.

FlameStar enjoyed his tenders and Alura liked her sundae. Sunset liked her Salad but she couldn't help but worry about FlameStar and Alura. She pulled out her magical book and quill to try and contact anyone.

To whoever is reading this,

My name is Sunset Shimmer. I have a guy named FlameStar. He's safe and sound with me. The portal to Equestria closed here and FlameStar is stuck. He needs help to get back home. We are trying to get the magic from the Elements of Harmony in my world. All I can ask you all to do is try to get it working on your side. Help to bring FlameStar home.

"All I can do is hope someone gets the message." Sunset thought. FlameStar and Alura burped loudly. They looked content.

"'Scuse me." Alura said. "Now we can relax and digest this right?

"Don't relax yet." FlameStar said. "We still need to get Pinkie's element, Remember?"

"But how do we do it?" asked Sunset. FlameStar spied a rainbow box.

"I think i got an idea." FlameStar went over to the box and saw a list of things. "Are those music notes next to them? Oh these are songs!" FlameStar scrolled through until he found a song called "Coinky Dink World". "Definitely sounds like Pinkie to me."

"INSERT 10 BITS." The box typed.

"10 BITS?!" FlameStar said shook. He growled and inserted 10 bits. The song filled the speakers to life and everyone began to dance! "Woah! Never thought everyone would dance... This place is strange. Too strange." FlameStar eyed Pinkie who started to laugh. Hearing this, FlameStar held up the amulet ready to take some magic. He then saw Alura and Sunset dancing as well! "I shouldn't..." said FlameStar. "But I don't wanna be a party pooper..." Unknowingly, FlameStar was at the dance floor. Pinkie had dragged him there!

"C'mon, Red guy! Let's dance!" Squealed Pinkie. FlameStar however, was as stiff as a board. He tried to awkwardly shuffle. Sunset chuckled a bit. Before FlameStar could do anything else, the doors swung open. 3 seductive looking girls stood at the doorway. The music stopped and everyone stared at them.

"Adagio and the Dazzlings..." growled Sunset Shimmer.

"Adagio? Dazzlings?" FlameStar asked. The girls turned to FlameStar and stared at his amulet.

"Nice Amulet you got there." Said the orange girl. She got closer and closer. FlameStar was worried. Without his Cutie Mark or his magic, all he could do is watch and wait. "T'would be a shame if something happened to it." Alarmed, FlameStar pushed her back.

"Sorry, lady. This is mine and I'm gonna use it to get back home." FlameStar said firmly. "Who are you anyway?"

"Name's Adagio Dazzle. That blue hair girl is Sonata Dusk and she is Aria Blaze."

"So I see..."

"You have something we want. And you're gonna give it to us." Aria snarled. FlameStar was surprised! He looked around to find some help. He looked at Rainbow Dash, then Twilight, then to Pinkie and finally Alura and Sunset.

Thinking on his feet, FlameStar said, "Well, I'm flattered you want that but ya see I'm kinda taken." Adagio put a hand on FlameStar's chest... Then snatched the Amulet! "Hey!" Cried FlameStar. He slid down and swept her legs. "I'll be taking that!" Aria growled at FlameStar.

"Listen Red, that is ours!" Aria snarled. Suddenly, she lunges at FlameStar!

"No! I'm going home!" FlameStar roared. He then heard some laughter from Sonata and Pinkie. Everyone looked.

"That is a funny story!" Pinkie chortled.

"What story?" Asked Alura.

"So its Tuesday right?" Sonata began. "I go to buy some tacos. Then Aria tries to toss them on the ground and instead of them going on the ground, they land on her!" She laughed. Everyone laughed out loud. Even Adagio. Aria was scowling.

"I said to NEVER tell that story!" Yelled Aria. While they were laughing, FlameStar quietly grabbed the amulet and saw Pinkie pie glow. She then ponied up and... well the rest is easy.

"Got'em." said FlameStar. The laughter started to die down as Sunset, Alura and FlameStar all quietly left the cafe.

"Nice work FlameStar!" Alura praised. "That makes 3. Whats the next Element?" FlameStar looked at the sky.

"Actually. We'll have to call it a night. The sun is pretty low." FlameStar said. Sunset looked troubled.

"Ooh... we might have a problem with that..." Sunset said, dejected. "I don't have much space where I live."

"I don't know if we can get a hotel for the night either..." FlameStar said. Sunset pondered as the wheels turned in her head as she had an idea.

"I know!" Sunset texted Fluttershy about a place to stay. She responded with I have plenty of space. Drop them at my house. "FlameStar, I found you a place!"
