That was, except 2 students, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. These two were now Gryffindor prefects, and they were headed off to the prefects' compartment. Harry, however, was sitting in a compartment with Luna Lovegood, Ginny Weasley, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Neville Longbottom. Sunset, meanwhile, was in a compartment with a fellow Slytherin, Blaise Zabini, a 5th year. They met at the Yule Ball the year before, in the 4th year. They fell for each other as soon they set their eyes on each other on that wonderful day. Sunset was about an inch away from him. He could smell her sweet lavender scented hair that she washed the night before, and he could see her cyan blue eyes up close. They were getting closer, their lips nearly touching, and suddenly, BANG! The compartment door slid open. Applejack was standing there, grinning broadly, her bass guitar slung over her back."I'm so sorry, y'all. But Sunset, Dash was wonderin', would ya like to come to band practise?" Sunset looked from her 2 best friends. "I'll come… if Blaise comes along, too." Applejack nodded curtly, and Sunset dragged her trunk out. "I hope you don't mind," said Rainbow Dash to Luna Lovegood, "Us having band practise." Luna nodded. "Go ahead. I don't really mind." That's when Blaise, Sunset and Applejack opened the compartment door. The girls looked at Pinkie Pie expectantly. "1, 2… 1! 2! 3! 4!" cried Pinkie Pie, waving her drumsticks. "We're best friends, forever," sang Rainbow Dash. "Forever, forever," harmonized the Rainbooms. "We're BFFs to the core," added Rarity. "The core," sang Twilight. "One moment can change it all, One thing could have made it fall, But that's what we're about! We're best friends, forever, Forever, forever, We're BFFs to the core, The core!" cried the Rainbooms. "The magic of friendship flows inside us!" cried Applejack. "The love spreads through the others!" cried Sunset. "One moment can change it all, One thing could have made it fall, But that's what we're about!" cried the Rainbooms together. "We're best friends, forever, Forever, forever, We're BFFs to the core, The core!" "We're BFFs to the core," finished Rainbow Dash. The compartment door opened again. Hermione and Ron came in. "Guess who's a prefect?" asked Ron, looking around the room. "Malfoy?" guessed Blaise. "Yes," said Hermione angrily. "And that complete cow Pansy Parkinson. When she has a brain thicker than a concussed troll, I don't know how it happened." She looked sheepish. Directing her words at Blaise, she said, "You're not upset, are you?" "No," said Blaise honestly. "I don't even like them anyway." "Then Ernie MacMillian and Hannah Abbott are Hufflepuff and Anthony Goldstein and Padma Patil for Ravenclaw," said Hermione. "You went to the yule ball with Padma Patil," said Luna dreamily. "I know I did." said Ron. "She wasn't very happy," replied Luna. "I wouldn't have minded though, I don't like dancing." Ron ignored the final comment. "Well," said Ron. "If Malfoy gets to my mates first, I'll make Goyle write lines. 'I must stop looking like a bareback buffoon.' He mimed Goyle writing lines. "I must stop looking like a bareback buffoon...'" The whole compartment, apart from Hermione elapsed into fits of giggles, but no one laughed as much or as hard as Luna Lovegood. "Bare-back- buf-foon!" said Luna, struggling to contain her laughter, tears streaming down her face as she clutched her sides. "Ron!" cried Hermione reproachfully. "Be careful what you say!" "Yes, Professor Granger," said Ron, as a joke. "It's not funny!" cried Hermione. Hermione turned away from Ron and started to talk to Ginny. "Wow." said Sunset to Twilight. "I've never seen Ron and Hermione argue or ignore each other before." "Nor have I," said Twilight, putting her arm around Sunset, looking out of the window. Pinkie Pie smiled. Now there was someone who liked jokes as much as she did. first day of lessonsChapter 3: The first day of lessons Sunset walked into Arithmancy with Twilight and Hermione. "Hey, Sunset!" cried Ernie. "Good holidays?" "Great, Ernie, thanks," replied Sunset. "Yours?" "Boring. Mum and dad wouldn't let me do anything. What about yours, Hermione?" Hermione smiled. "I spent about 3 weeks with Ron and Harry and then a week with Twilight." "Anyway, it's back to school. OWLs this year!" cried Twilight. Sunset groaned. "Twi, please, just please stop reminding us of the worst exams ever! All I want to do is get this over and done with then I can play Tickle Fruit 2!" "Huh," said Twilight. "Come on. Let's sit down." As Sunset walked with Twilight to Herbology(which by the way was the next lesson), Rainbow Dash came up. "Um, Dash." said Sunset. "Can I talk for you for just a second?" Rainbow Dash raised her eyebrows. "Go ahead, Sun. What do ya wanna talk to me about?" Sunset sighed. "Um, I'm Quidditch Captain for Slytherin and I was wondering, do you have any advice?" Rainbow Dash smiled. "Well, establish a rivalry, like CPA and CHS. If you can, obviously. Be kind and show them team spirit. Don't make too many enemies, but have fun! Also, a good pep talk before matches are a good idea." "Thanks, Dash," said Sunset gratefully. Professor Sprout came into the Greenhouse. "Get into groups of 4 or 5, please." "Hey, Sunset! Twi!" shouted Applejack, waving the two girls over. "Do ya wanna work with me, Dash and Fluttershy?" Sunset's face lit up. "Sure, guys!" she cried. Twilight pored over the book. "Guys, it says in the book we have to jab the Snargaluff pods then put the tubers in the bowl." Professor Sprout smiled. "That's the way to do it, Miss Sparkle. Maybe your group would like to demonstrate?" Twilight got a knife from the side and gently jabbed the Snargaluff pod. She then held the tuber with her thumb and fore and gently placed the wriggling tuber in a glass bowl. "Perfect! Now, The group who can get the most snargaluff pods in their glass bowl will earn 50 points for their house. Miss Sparkle, could you pass me that bowl and you collect a new one?" Twilight passed Professor Sprout the bowl and collected a new one. "Your time starts… NOW!" 1 hour passed and Neville's group (Hannah, Neville, Harry, Ron and Hermione) and Twilight's group (Rainbow, Applejack, Sunset, Fluttershy and Twilight) were tied. "And I present 350 points to Gryffindor, 100 points to Hufflepuff and 50 points to Slytherin!" "That was the best Herbology lesson I ever had!" cried Harry. Rainbow Dash laughed. "Same here!" "We have Potions with you guys," said Twilight. "Sunset, do you wanna sit next to me?" "Yeah, but Blaise will be also next to me, so I can help him. And if we can, obviously." Twilight laughed. "Of course, Sun." In potions, Professor Snape swept in and shut the door. "I want you all to make the Draught of peace. In pairs. Mr Potter, you will work with Mr Weasley. Mr Malfoy, you'll work with Miss Sparkle. Miss Granger, you'll work with Mr Crabbe. Miss Shimmer, you'll work with Mr Zabini. Miss Dash, you'll work with Mr Goyle. Miss Apple, you'll work with Mr Longbottom. Patil, Brown. Finnigan, Thomas. You have one hour." "Right," said Sunset. "This will be easy." "For you," said Blaise. "Snape likes you. You're like his top student!" Sunset started to put all the ingredients and followed the steps, step by step. Blaise smiled. "Wow! I'd say we've done!" Sunset blushed. "Uh, thanks, Blaise," she replied shyly. "Shall we get Professor Snape to check it?" Blaise collected a sample and handed it to Professor Snape. "Well, that looks near perfect!" said Snape. "Well done, I'll award you 10 points to Slytherin each." Snape smiled a rare smile and then walked around the room. "Longbottom. The potion is supposed to be Midnight blue. It's-" "Orange," said Applejack sheepishly. "I'm sorry, Professor. We got a little mixed up with the ingredients and Nev didn't really understand anythin' you said an' Hermione an' Twi and Sunse' was busy with their own and I know that Dash is better than ah am but ah don't suppose we could swop partners with someone who's better than potions?" "Miss Sparkle, how are you getting on?" "Draco's not letting me do any work!" "Right. Malfoy, you need to start again. Did you even weigh the ingredients?" "Um…" said Draco. "Er, I thought I did. But do I have to work with the Mudblood? She doesn't stop talking about books so I just ignored her." "Miss Sparkle, I want you to work with Mr Longbottom. Your friend has alerted me that Longbottom obviously needs coaching. Miss Apple, you work with Mr Malfoy." Soon the lesson had finished and it seemed Sunset and Blaise made a Draught of Peace successfully. "For homework," said Snape, "I want you all to write an essay on Moonstones and their properties. Dismissed." They exited the potions lab, the students talking and laughing. "That was nice of Snape to let you help me," said Neville. "It's only because it's the beginning of a year," said Twilight, hoisting her backpack on her back. "And now, I have transfiguration!" groaned Applejack. "I love transfiguration!" cried Twilight. The first Quidditch match: Gryffindor vs HufflepuffChapter 4: The first Quidditch match: Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff "Good luck, Ron!" cried Twilight. "Good luck, Sunset!" The flame haired girl smiled. "Thanks, Twi," she replied. "I hope I do well." Draco smirked. "What is Weasley riding?" Sunset glared at Malfoy. "Shut up, Malfoy," she said quietly. "You have no right to talk to one of my friends like that." "Oooh!" said Crabbe, smirking. "So Shimmer likes Gryffindors?" "No," said Sunset quietly. "Ron's a friend of one of my closest friends, Twilight Sparkle. Twi and I have been friends since forever." Sunset took Draco to one side. "Malfoy, just listen. I may be young but I love my friends and I am loyal to Slytherin. Now, keep out of the way until you see the snitch. Good luck, and may the best house win!" Sunset shook hands with Angelina Johnson. "And they're off! Adrian Pucey passes the quaffle to someone but Alicia Spinnet intercepts and passes to Captain Angelina Johnson! Yes! I don't believe it! She beat the keeper! 10 points to Gryffindor!" yelled Lee. "What is that the Slytherins are singing?" Lee paused and the sea of green and silver grew louder. "Weasley is our King! Weasley is our King! He always lets the quaffle in, Weasley is our king!" "Well, all the Slytherins, apart from the Keeper, Sunset Shimmer, who seems to have a cross face at them! Anyway, Adrian Pucey with the quaffle, and heads towards the Gryffindor goal, come on Ron! 10 points to Slytherin! Crabbe chucks his bat at Alicia Spinnet and she falls back. The reserve, Rainbow Dash takes her place! YES! Dash has done it! She has done a reverse pass to Katie Bell. Fred Weasley hits a bludger at Malfoy, but dodges it and Malfoy slaps Fred Weasley around the face. FOUL! Free pass to Gryffindor! Katie Bell passes the quaffle to Angelina, Angelina passes the quaffle to Rainbow Dash, she shoots! ARGH! The Keeper has saved it! Still 10 all! Harry has seen the golden snitch, Malfoy tails him closely and it goes! They're disappointed. Come on GRYFFINDOR! Ron, it's coming! 20-10 to Slytherin!" Sunset watched closely. "Come on, Harry. Do it," she whispered. The Gryffindors scored, 20 even. Then Harry saw the snitch again. Harry flew around Malfoy, and caught it! "GRYFFINDOR wins!" cried Lee. Rainbow Dash smiled. "Yeah, Harry!" she screamed, punching the air. Malfoy sauntered up to the Gryffindor team. "Like my song, Potter? I was trying to think of a verse about Weasley's mother about how thick-" SLAP! Hermione ran down and slapped Draco in the face. "Don't talk about Ron's mother like that!" screamed Hermione. "You- you little monster!" "Hermione!" cried Sunset, grabbing the brunette's arm. "What the hell did you do that for? Someone could have got seriously hurt! I mean, Crabbe hurt Spinnet, you could have hurt Malfoy!" Draco didn't care. "And Potter's Mudblood mother!" "Don't call his mother that!" said Hermione, swinging back her arm. Ginny caught her. "I never forgot when you called me one!" Fred leapt forward but Twilight, Angelina and Katie were holding him back. However, Harry jumped forward and before Rainbow Dash could stop him, he and Draco were in a full-fledged fight. George leapt forward. "GEORGE!" yelled Ron and Applejack. "No, don't-" It was too late. George had already pulled Harry back. Madam Hooch blew her whistle. "I have never seen such monstrous behaviour. Mr Potter, Mr Weasley, go to Professor McGonagall now." Harry and George walked meekly to Professor McGonagall's office. Sunset took Draco to one side. "Draco, listen. Cut down on the bullying. I used to be just like you. But I then discovered friendship was the path. Trust me. I've been where you are. I know how you feel. I've done this. I've made the same mistake you're making." "What do you mean, you've made the same mistake," said Draco. "That's another story. I don't tell anyone this unless it's in an emergency. But all I can tell you, try to be a little kinder. You'll regret your actions when you're older." "Sunset's right," said Twilight. "Kindness is everything." "MIDNIGHT SPARKLE?!" cried Rainbow Dash. The 2 girls turned. "Midnight!" gasped Twilight. "I thought we abolished you at Everfree!" Midnight Sparkle cackled. "Clearly not, Twily." "Hey! Only my friends and family can call me Twily. YOU ARE NOT FAMILY OR FRIENDS!" "Fine, Twilight." "LIGHT HER UP LADIES!" yelled Pinkie Pie. The mane 7 glowed bright pink, the colour of Twilight's magic. They ponied up, and ears, wings, tails and manes grew. They also had a new wardrobe. The Magic of Friendship wrapped around Midnight Sparkle. "Midnight, I am locking you in the depths of my brain until you learn to be A LOT less childish and then I'll set you free. Deal?" said Twilight. Midnight Sparkle rolled her eyes. "Fine, Twilight. You win." The mane 7 landed gently on the ground. Midnight Sparkle was back in the depths of Twilight's brains. "That- was- so AWESOME!" said Blaise, his eyes widening. "Who was that?" "That," said Twilight, "was my alter-ego, Midnight Sparkle. I did something terrible many years ago and she sometimes still appears out of nowhere. We made a deal so she won't hurt anyone else. The girls helped me forgive myself for my actions. You alright, Sun?" Sunset was trembling like crazy. "Are you sure?" asked Fluttershy. "You're trembling." "She's next." she said. "Although I tried to do it, I actually never forgave myself for the bad stuff I did. Everytime I look at that yearbook, I just feel tears welling up in my eyes. Of anger. It just reminds me of who I was." "But, Sun," said Twilight, "It doesn't matter who you were before. It's your actions. And the time when you sacrificed those memories for us cancelled the bad stuff you may have done in the past. That's bravery, Sunset. And leadership." The auburn girl smiled. "Thanks, Twilight." she said. "Now, come on," said Blaise. "How about we do something nice?" "Let's get some band practise in!" shouted Rainbow Dash. "Um, Dashie?" whispered Fluttershy. "What about our magic? Shouldn't we ask Professor Dumbledore if we can do an assembly on our magic?" "That's a great idea Flutters," said Rarity. "Let's do it!" "After band practise!" cried Rainbow Dash. Sunset rolled her eyes. "Fine, Dash. You win." The girls laughed as they headed up to the secret music room they had been given permission to practise in. the assemblyChapter 6: The assembly "We've got permission!" cried Twilight excitedly. The next day, The mane 7 stood in the Great Hall. "Hi," said Twilight nervously. "Um, this weekend, most of you saw us grow wings and tails. Well, we decided we would like to tell you all about this. The reason why we can grow wings and tails and stuff is because of what happened back at Canterlot High. I didn't even exist at CHS." "Back at CHS," explained Sunset, "I stole a crown belonging to Twilight's counterpart, Princess Twilight Sparkle from another world. I bullied everyone there, but she(Princess Twilight) stood up to me and I sort of made things rather difficult for her. I got my hands on the crown and I turned into a-" she gulped. "Um, a raging she-demon. Then 5 wonderful girls and Princess Twilight basically stripped me of my evil self and I vowed to be a much nicer person, resulting in teaching our Twilight Sparkle about friendship. The fact we can grow wings and tails when playing music is a different matter, our latest songs. But before we perform our songs, Does anypony-sorry-anyone have any questions?" Sunset giggled. "Sorry. I'm a unicorn. I still sometimes slip into my old habits." Hermione raised her hand. "Yes, Hermione?" "Um. When you said your friends stripped you of your evil self, did you ever forgive yourself?" "I-erm, I never did forgive myself," said Sunset. "However hard I tried, I couldn't. I always thought when I looked at the old yearbooks, was I really that bad?" she turned to Pinkie Pie. "Ready?" "Yep. 1...2… and a 1-2-3-4!" cried Pinkie Pie, waving her drumsticks "We're best friends, forever," sang Rainbow Dash. "Forever, forever," harmonized the Rainbooms. "We're BFFs to the core," added Rarity. "The core," sang Twilight. "One moment can change it all, One thing could have made it fall, But that's what we're about! We're best friends, forever, Forever, forever, We're BFFs to the core, The core!" cried the Rainbooms. "The magic of friendship flows inside us!" cried Applejack. "The love spreads through the others!" cried Sunset. "One moment can change it all, One thing could have made it fall, But that's what we're about!" cried the Rainbooms together. "We're best friends, forever, Forever, forever, We're BFFs to the core, The core!" "We're BFFs to the core," finished Rainbow Dash. "So, there you go," said Rarity. "The first song. Our second song." "1, 2… and a 1-2-3-4!" cried Pinkie Pie, knocking her drumsticks together. "'We've been friends since forever. "'We're always together. "'Forever! "'Together!'" they cried. "'We have the Magic of friendship inside us,'" said Twilight. "'That always grows as we grow,'" said Rainbow Dash. "'We do everything together. "'Absolutely everything!" cried the Rainbooms "'Best friends forever. "'One more step to be BFFs. "'A few more years until we're separated. "'But we're BFFs forever. "'2 more years until we go off on our own. "'A few more years until we return. "'But we're always together. "''Cause we're BFFs forever. "'This year is full of fun!'" they cried. "Next year is gonna be even more fun!" cried Pinkie Pie. "FUN! FUN! FUN! EVERYONE, REPEAT AFTER ME! FUN! FUN! FUN! AND MORE FUN!" Pinkie Pie drummed a solo on her drum set, grinning and letting loose confetti. The others smiled. Ears, tails, manes and wings sprouted out of them. "'Best friends forever. "'One more step to be BFFs. "'A few more years until we're separated. "'But we're BFFs forever. "'2 more years until we go off on our own. "'A few more years until we return. "'But we're always together. "''Cause we're BFFs forever. "'Best friends forever. "'One more step to be BFFs. "'A few more years until we're separated. "'But we're BFFs forever. "'2 more years until we go off on our own. "'A few more years until we return. "'But we're always together! "''Cause we're BFFs forever!'" The additionals disappeared as suddenly as they came. Rainbow Dash laughed. "There you go. We've finished." The girls took their bows and the other students stood up and clapped, apart from Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson. The girls were in the entrance hall when Harry and Blaise caught up with them. "That was amazing!" cried Harry They stopped in front of a wall. Rules had been put up. Twilight gasped. "What are we to do?" asked Rarity, glancing at her friends. "We'd better warn the DA," said Blaise. dating in the music room(Harry x Rainbow Dash)Chapter 8: Dating in the music room "That's amazing!" cried Blaise, clapping. Harry nodded. "I'm going to study for our charms exam. Charms OWLs tomorrow!" cried Twilight. "You guys coming?" Rainbow Dash shook her head. "I need to speak to Harry privately." Twilight smiled. "Come on guys. Hermione and I are going to have an all nighter." The others walked out, separating for their respective common rooms. Rainbow Dash smiled. "You asked me ages ago about my past and friends. I would tell you the whole story, but the whole thing all starts with Sunset. You see…" FLASHBACK- Through the mirror Princess Twilight looked down on the sobbing redhead in the pit. The other Equestria Girls, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rarity joined her too. But Rainbow Dash knew that feeling. FLASHBACK- Middle school Rainbow Dash was on the soccer field, playing soccer. Cloudkicker was in the possession of the ball, when Rainbow Dash tackled her and did not pass to anyone. She scored a goal. The whistle blew. "DASH!" cried the coach, Spitfire. "You need to work as a team. See me in my office after school." FLASHBACK-Back to through the mirror Rainbow Dash gently pulled Sunset from the pit. "I know that feeling. I was a middle school bully. I bullied my teammates in football. I wanted to become a better person. I- I just went the wrong way, Sunset. Sometimes, we can't choose our friends, but we'd be willing to help those who have a lot to learn. I'm pretty new to this too. We all are. We've all done things we've regretted, even Princess Twilight, right?" The princess nodded. "Just before I became a princess, I was stuck in a duel with the pony world Trixie and I lost. I regretted not asking for help in the first place. Trixie shoved me out of Ponyville. I seeked advice from Zecora, the wise Zebra and she taught me. I used the magic of friendship and I defeated her. I still have the amulet, but that's safely tucked away. Trust me. I get you. And we can teach you, right, girls?" The 5 girls nodded. Suddenly, Twilight pulled Sunset up and embraced her in a loving hug. "When you're ready, Princess Celestia will welcome you home with open hooves," she whispered in Sunset's ear Sunset smiled a weak smile. "Thank you so much, Twilight. I don't deserve this at all." "Oh, but you do," said Fluttershy kindly. "Especially people like you. You need help. Trust me. You can accept our help and like Dash, you can change for the better, or..." "You can always be alone," finished Princess Twilight, sighing. "The choice is yours. I think it's clear that you felt unloved. You're wrong now. You have 6 wonderful friends, or 6 wonderful to be friends who love you to bits. But first, Sunset. I need you to apologise to those you hurt. I forgive you, and maybe the girls do too, I don't know, but I don't know if the rest of the school will forgive you. To show them you have changed, you must do an exceptionally good deed. Remember, they will be there to guide you as well as be your friend." FLASHBACK- anon-a-miss Sunset hesitantly walked into the Sweet Shoppe. "Whatcha doin' here, Shimmer?" asked Rainbow Dash coldly. "You're not our friend. You hear me? You're not our-" Sunset opened her journal. "I've told Princess Twilight everything," said Sunset. "She asked me who is your family? So I ask you: Would the Sunset Shimmer you know now, the current one, would she do this?" That shut the girls' mouths. "Oh fuck," said Rainbow Dash. "I don't know." "No," said Applejack quietly. "You'd never do this. Ahm so sorry, Sunset. And Dash, language." "I think I know who it is though," said Sunset, glancing towards the door. "Yeah." said Applebloom. "It was us. Sweetie Belle took Sunset's phone, I posted Piggly Wiggly and Scootaloo helped set the account up. Ahm sorry, Sunset. I really truly mean it. I was jealous, well, we were jealous of our sisters spendin' more time with ya, Sunset, so yeah." "Bloom, yer grounded fer the rest of the Christmas break," said Applejack. "You can sweep the barn, feed the chickens, feed the cows, look after Winona and goodness knows what. Consider yerself lucky, sis. I could be a lot harsher." "I'm afraid," said Rarity, "we're gonna have to tell Principal Celestia." "I'm sorry, girls," said Sunset. "But it's over now, all just a simple misunderstanding." Dear Princess Twilight, We know who the culprit is: The CMC, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. They confessed this afternoon. Applejack is going to ground Applebloom. Send my love to Spike and Princesses Celestia and Luna. I miss you all, especially you. I wish I could see you again. Your friend, Sunset Shimmer PRESENT DAY- HOGWARTS "Wait…" said Harry, his emerald green eyes widening in shock. "You were a bully?" Rainbow Dash nodded, ashamed. "I still love you," said Harry, inching closer to Rainbow. "I love you too, Harry," said Rainbow Dash. Before they knew it, they were kissing. "You know, Dash. You're a pretty good kisser, considering you've never kissed a boy before." Rainbow Dash laughed. "Totally. I'm really bad. Tried to date Zephyr Breeze. Didn't turn out well. Bitch he was." "Let's get studying," said Harry. "Charms Owl tomorrow. You nervous?" "Eh," said Rainbow Dash. "Let's go back to the common room." Meanwhile, in the Slytherin common room, Sunset and Blaise were sitting on a sofa. "You asked me why I never talk about my past, it's just that, it's traumatizing," Sunset sighed. "Here goes…" FLASHBACK- Through the mirror-Sunset's side to the story Everyone looked down on me, sobbing in a pit. I then saw Rainbow Dash smile at me, I wasn't sure, but did she know my feelings? I don't know but I think she got me. FLASHBACK- Middle school- TtM Rainbow Dash memory Rainbow Dash was on the soccer field, playing soccer. Cloudkicker was in the possession of the ball, when Rainbow Dash tackled her and did not pass to anyone. She scored a goal. The whistle blew. "DASH!" cried the coach, Spitfire. "You need to work as a team. See me in my office after school." FLASHBACK- Back to through the mirror- Sunset's side to the story She gently pulled me from the pit. "I know that feeling.

"Thanks," I whispered so only Princess Twilight could hear me. FLASHBACK- anon-a-miss- Sunset's side to the story I hesitantly walked into the Sweet Shoppe. "Whatcha doin' here, Shimmer?" asked Rainbow Dash coldly. "You're not our friend. You hear me? You're not our-" I opened my journal. "I've told Princess Twilight everything," I said. "She asked me who is your family? So I ask you: Would the Sunset Shimmer you know now, the current one, would she do this?" That shut the girls' mouths. "Oh fuck," said Rainbow Dash. "I don't know." "No." said Applejack quietly. "You'd never do this. Ahm so sorry, Sunset. And Dash, language." "I think I know who it is though," I said, glancing towards the door. I had noticed 3 girls had come in. But no one else had. "Yeah." said Applebloom. "It was us. Sweetie Belle took Sunset's phone, I posted Piggly Wiggly and Scootaloo helped set the account up. Ahm sorry, Sunset. I really truly mean it. I was jealous, well, we were jealous of our sisters spendin' more time with ya, Sunset, so yeah." "Bloom, yer grounded fer the rest of the Christmas break," said Applejack.

Send my love to Spike and Princesses Celestia and Luna. I miss you all, especially you. I wish I could see you again. Your friend, Sunset Shimmer PRESENT DAY- HOGWARTS "...And that's that," said Sunset lamely. "That's me. I basically turned into a terrifying demon and I was accused of posting everyone's secrets at school, until the culprits came forward and confessed." "You know," said Blaise, "It doesn't matter who you were in the past, it's now. You're the kindest, sweetest girl I have ever met. I love you." "Kindness isn't my thing," said Sunset. "I'm more ambitious, and more smart. I'm not mean, well, not that mean anymore, but you get it, don't you?" Blaise shut his textbook with a bang and let his lips slide over Sunset's. Sunset giggled. They were kissing in secret. "You know," said Sunset. "I truly think Hogwarts has changed us all. Especially after that Thestral lesson with Hagrid, I feel like the Forbidden forest has really changed us all. The forbidden forest is like an enchanted forest, right? And they say an enchanted forest is a place of transformation." Author's Note In this chapter, the story is repeated. The reason? Because this is Sunset’s story and Rainbow’s story . As I told Ilikethemsalty on Fanfiction.net(here is the message: it was supposed to be like that, as Sunset and Dash were telling the exact same story, their lives at CHS(see Equestria Girls 1) and parts of it are based on the film itself so I wanted to keep important bits in. I did add a subtle hint to Frozen II, did you notice that? If you did, I'm delighted. Well, yeah. It's basically a reworking of Equestria Girls 1 and Anon-a-miss. I did consider Friendship Games for Sunset's POV but I decided no, as well, it is exciting, but it's a very competitive story(i mean that someone(and this character is mentioned a lot in this fanfic) is mega competitve. Maybe you can guess who this mega competitive person is?) The flash backs aren't really part of it, it's just that it is background info about Dash and Shimmer(See Friendship Games and Mirror Magic) which isn't crucial to the story but it may come in handy later in chapter 9. Also, it tells you what universe this is set in: Original Universe. You know that because of the Flashbacks. You'll understand when you see the videos.) Thanks! owls, battle and house cup(but mainly house cup)Chapter 9: OWLs, a battle and the house cup Today was the first day of exams. Blaise and Hermione were walking to the Great Hall together, revising, burying their noses in their books. It was Charms today. Sunset was talking to Rainbow Dash about their favourite video game, the Rise of Tirek. Twilight glared at the 2 girls, then returned to revising. A bell rang and they sat down in their seats. It was the final day of exams, a History of Magic. Harry was bored. He shut his eyes to think, but then instead, he saw Voldemort torturing Sirius. Harry was trembling. Hermione had grasped his arm. "You okay?" asked Hermione, helping him up. "Just saw Sirius get tortured in the department of mysteries." said Harry, trying to stay calm. "But what if it's one of Voldemort's tricks?" asked Blaise. "What if he's trying to lure you there?" "Then we're gonna check," said Rainbow Dash. "Leave this to us. We'll make distractions. Pinkie, AJ, Sun and I will distract Umbridge. Ron, Ginny, Luna and Neville, you distract Draco and his cronies. Blaise, keep guard on Umbridge's office. That leaves you both to get to Sirius. Rarity, Twilight, I need you to get to the east wing. Make a shield to block." "Right." said Rarity. "Come on, Twi." Harry and Hermione ran into Umbridge's office. Harry threw floo powder into the fire. He stuck his head in. "12 grimmauld place!" Kreacher was there. "Master has gone!" Kreacher croaked. Harry pulled his head out of the fire, coughing and spluttering. The mane 7 drew their wands on Umbridge and the Inquisitorial squad. "If you hurt Harry or Hermione," threatened Rainbow Dash, "You'll get the worst. If you don't, then you're okay." "Dash." warned Sunset, elbowing the multi colored haired girl. "You could get detention." "Do I look like I care?" asked Rainbow Dash, fuming. "All I want is to see my boyfriend safe." " I know. I get you." said Sunset softly. Harry looked at Hermione. Umbridge pushed him roughly into a chair. "Tell me. What have you been doing? Who have you been talking to?" Hermione answered the question. "Professor Dumbledore, Headmistress. We're trying to tell him about our secret weapon but he's gone and oh we've searched everywhere." "Malfoy!" cried Umbridge. "Fetch Snape now." Malfoy hurried out of the room to get Snape. "Professor Snape," said Umbridge sweetly. "Do you have any more veritaserum? Potter isn't telling me anything." "You used the last on Miss Chang." "WAIT!" shouted Harry, holding out his hand to stop Snape. "Professor Snape, Padfoot. In danger. Snuffles. Please." "Potter. Whatever you are talking about, please stop." said Snape. "Dolores, you have someone who can read minds in this very room. With one touch." Sunset was horrified, as she realised Snape was talking about her. "No, no, no, no, NO! Not me!" she screamed, backing away. "I only use my powers in dire situations, like finding out who sucked my friends into a magical mirror at the Canterlot Movie Theatre, remember? Or trying to find who took your memories, unfortunately the culprit erased the entire afternoon. Or Star Swirled, remember?" Umbridge dragged Sunset to Harry and laid her hand on Harry's hand. Her eyes gleamed white, as she saw Harry's thoughts. "Well, Shimmer?" asked Umbridge Sunset sighed. "Harry wanted to speak to Dumbledore." she said flatly. "It's true!" Twilight had an idea. "Professor, we'd like to show you where the weapon is. Hermione, lead the way." Rainbow Dash knew what Twilight was doing. After distracting Umbridge, Hermione, Harry and Twilight met up with the others on the bridge. "We fly, of course," said Rainbow Dash, as though the answer was obvious. They arrived at the Department of mysteries, running. They entered the prophecy room. "Hey, Harry!" cried Blaise. "There's something with your name on." Harry raised an eyebrow. "My name?" he said, confused. As soon as Harry touched it, death eaters appeared. "Stupefy!" cried Hermione. "Everte!" said Twilight "RUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!" yelled Ginny. "REDUCTO!" They didn't need telling twice. Rainbow Dash flew above them, distracting. "Come on!" cried Rainbow Dash. They kept running. Black air wrapped around them all, except Harry and Rainbow Dash. Lucius Malfoy spoke. "Give me that prophecy, Potter. Or watch your friends die the hard way." "Don't give it to him!" yelled Neville, struggling against Bellatrix. "Silence!" said Bellatrix. Harry looked from his friends to the glass orb in his hand. "No. Hey, Dash! Catch!" Harry threw the orb and Rainbow Dash caught it like a seeker. Then Sirius, Lupin, Tonks, Moody and Kingsley came. "Don't come near my Godson!" said Sirius, punching Lucius Malfoy. The Death Eaters started to duel the Order members. Rainbow Dash tried to throw the orb back to Harry but she dropped it. The orb fell with a loud clatter, dust escaping out. "Born at the end of the 7th month…" said a misty voice. "Has powers the dark lord knows not…" Then the mist stopped speaking, as everyone started shouting. "Confringo!" cried Blaise, at Macnair. "GINNY!" yelled Luna. "Is your ankle alright?" Harry's green eyes widened as he saw Sirius die. "SIRIUS!" Harry ran after Bellatrix, cursing, Dumbledore following behind. Voldemort appeared. Bellatrix ran to a floo, cackling Dumbledore and Voldemort were duelling, Dumbledore winning. Harry lay on the floor, weak. Voldemort was trying to possess Harry, not succeeding because Harry was grieving for Sirius. Dumbledore sent them back to Hogwarts where they would be safe. The house cup was nearly upon them. In 4th place was Gryffindor. 3rd, Hufflepuff 2nd, Ravenclaw 1st, Slytherin. Dumbledore stood up. "I'd like to make a few announcements. Yesterday, fourteen 5th years went to the Ministry to fight Voldemort, who is back. Therefore, for their bravery I award: 50 points to Gryffindor each to Miss Ginny Weasley, Mr Ronald Weasley, Mr Neville Longbottom, Miss Hermione Granger, Miss Applejack Apple and Miss Twilight Sparkle. I also award 60 points for Gryffindor to Mr Harry Potter for his bravery and 60 points to Miss Rainbow Dash for her loyalty. I also award 50 points to Ravenclaw each to Miss Luna Lovegood and Miss Rarity Belle. I will also award 50 points to Hufflepuff each to Miss Fluttershy Shy and Miss Pinkie Pie. Finally, 50 points each to Mr Blaise Zabini and Miss Sunset Shimmer. I think a change of decorations is needed, what do you think? GRYFFINDOR WIN!" All the Gryffindor students cheered. Applejack and Rainbow Dash clung onto each other and danced a country dance. Neville and Hermione grinned and then unlike responsible 5th years, they did a hip hop dance with Harry and Ron. McGonagall gave them all daggers, telling them to be quiet and sit down. Dumbledore then waved his wand and red gold hangings hung from above and a lion statue was in the middle of the hall. "Um, Professor?" asked Blaise nervously. "Can I make an announcement? Quickly?" "Yes, Mr Zabini. Please go ahead." said Dumbledore. Blaise sighed. "When I first met Sunset Shimmer at the Yule Ball, she showed me true friendship and kindness. When I needed help, she was always there for me." He dropped down onto one knee. "Sunset Reginald Shimmer. You are the sweetest girl I have ever met. You are kind, loving, loyal and above all, brave. Will you- will you marry me?" The other girls smirked, especially Rainbow Dash, who smirked the biggest smirk she ever smirked. "Ah knew this was coming." whispered Applejack to Rainbow Dash. "Me too." said Rainbow Dash Sunset started to cry, bringing her hands up to her mouth to hide the gasp. "Yes!" she squeaked, throwing herself into Blaise's arms. Awws came their way. Sunset and Blaise stood up. He gently placed the golden ring on her ring finger, on her right hand. 2 weeks later, at Blaise's house, in a marquee, all the Rainbooms, and the silver and golden trio were invited. Blaise also invited Draco and Pansy and Millicent Bulstrode. "Do you, Blaise William Zabini, promise to keep to Miss Sunset Reginald Shimmer and declare you are bonded for life?" "I do." they said simultaneously. The little man stood up. He waved golden sparkles over them. "Then I declare you are bonded for life." "Congratulations!" cried Rarity. "I honestly thought I'd be the first person to get a boyfriend. You look nice." "Thanks," said Sunset. "A very special friend insisted on making it." Rarity laughed. "Me. You wanna get your guitar and play something?" "Yeah!" cried Sunset, laughing. "Race ya to the stage!" Sunset got her electric guitar and tuned it. The girls stood on the stage. "Ready to play?" asked Rainbow Dash "Yeah!" shouted the others. "1...2...1-2-3-4!" cried Pinkie Pie, bringing them on cue The Equestria Girls were ready to rock and roll! Author's Note I know Sunset is 16 and Blaise is 16. I know they are both too young to get married. And I know it’s semi-cute. But, I wanted to end on a happier note, where as a lot of stuff in this story is sad. So, here you go! I hope you enjoyed it. the new teacherChapter 2: the new teacher Ron and Hermione caught up with Luna, Ginny and Neville. Harry was ahead, talking to Rainbow Dash about the latest sports, and Twilight had buried her nose in a book. They sat down at their respective tables and Professor Dumbledore stood up. He was making amnoucements. Then, a woman with curly mousy brown hair and a pink cardigan stood up. "Hem, hem," she said. "My name is Professor Umbridge and I am your new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher! Now, I will be inspecting some of your lessons and will be reporting my findings to the Minister. Thank you." Applejack looked at Rainbow Dash and Harry. "Man, that woman is one pink gal!" Rainbow Dash nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, at the Slytherin Table, Sunset looked from Blaise to the rest of the Slytherins. "It says I'm Quidditch Captain. I don't get it. What am I supposed to do?" "Why don't you ask Rainbow Dash?" suggested Blaise. "I'm sure she'll come up with some tips, right? We have Herbology tomorrow with the Gryffindors, so why don't you ask her then?" Sunset smiled nervously. "Yeah, thanks, Blaise," she replied. band practiceChapter 5: band practise "1, 2… and a 1-2-3-4!" cried Pinkie Pie, knocking her drumsticks together. "'We've been friends since forever. "'We're always together. "'Forever! "'Together!'" they cried. "'We have the Magic of friendship inside us,'" said Twilight. "'That always grows as we grow,'" said Rainbow Dash. "'We do everything together. "'Absolutely everything!" cried the Rainbooms "'Best friends forever. "'One more step to be BFFs. "'A few more years until we're separated. "'But we're BFFs forever. "'2 more years until we go off on our own. "'A few more years until we return. "'But we're always together. "''Cause we're BFFs forever. "'This year is full of fun!'" they cried. "Next year is gonna be even more fun!" cried Pinkie Pie. "FUN! FUN! FUN! EVERYONE, REPEAT AFTER ME! FUN! FUN! FUN! AND MORE FUN!" Pinkie Pie drummed a solo on her drum set, grinning and letting loose confetti. The others smiled. Ears, tails, manes and wings sprouted out of them. "'Best friends forever. "'One more step to be BFFs. "'A few more years until we're separated. "'But we're BFFs forever. "'2 more years until we go off on our own. "'A few more years until we return. "'But we're always together. "''Cause we're BFFs forever. "'Best friends forever. "'One more step to be BFFs. "'A few more years until we're separated. "'But we're BFFs forever. "'2 more years until we go off on our own. "'A few more years until we return. "'But we're always together! "''Cause we're BFFs forever!'" The additionals disappeared as suddenly as they came. "You're sounding cool," said Blaise. "Thanks," said Rarity. grawp: about 6 weeks later...Chapter 7; Grawp(about 6 weeks later…) Harry sat down in the stands to watch Ron. Hagrid tapped him and Hermione on the shoulder. "Oh, hey, Hagrid," said Hermione. "Is everything alright?" Hagrid motioned to the Forbidden Forest. "Alright," said Harry. "We're coming." Harry and Hermione followed Hagrid to the Forbidden Forest. "This is my half-brother, Grawp," said Hagrid, proudly. Hagrid poked the rock like thing. "GRAWPY!" Hermione looked up at the giant in wonder. Grawp lumbered towards them and grabbed her. Hermione waved a finger at Grawp, sternly. "Grawp, put me down," she said sternly. "Put. Me. Down." Grawp looked sheepish and let Hermione go. "Hermy," said Hagrid. "This is Hermy and Harry." "What are we supposed to do to him? Teach him English? Be a friend?" demanded Harry. "Exactly," said Hagrid. "In case I get sacked." They met Ron back in the Gryffindor common room. "So that's why Hagrid was away!" cried Ron. "Yeah," said Harry. "That's why. Anyway. I need to go. I agreed to meet Rainbow. She invited me to watch band practise. You comin'?" "Nah," said Hermione. "I'm going to study. And make sure Ron does his homework. Have fun." Harry smiled. He turned and pushed open the portrait and walked out of the Gryffindor common room.
the new prefectsChapter 1: The new prefects It was a new term and a new year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and students were mingling, greeting one another and catching up on the latest gossip(or in the case of some, the latest fashions). That was, except 2 students, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. These two were now Gryffindor prefects, and they were headed off to the prefects' compartment. Harry, however, was sitting in a compartment with Luna Lovegood, Ginny Weasley, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Neville Longbottom. Sunset, meanwhile, was in a compartment with a fellow Slytherin, Blaise Zabini, a 5th year. They met at the Yule Ball the year before, in the 4th year. They fell for each other as soon they set their eyes on each other on that wonderful day. Sunset was about an inch away from him. He could smell her sweet lavender scented hair that she washed the night before, and he could see her cyan blue eyes up close. They were getting closer, their lips nearly touching, and suddenly, BANG! The compartment door slid open. Applejack was standing there, grinning broadly, her bass guitar slung over her back."I'm so sorry, y'all. But Sunset, Dash was wonderin', would ya like to come to band practise?" Sunset looked from her 2 best friends. "I'll come… if Blaise comes along, too." Applejack nodded curtly, and Sunset dragged her trunk out. "I hope you don't mind," said Rainbow Dash to Luna Lovegood, "Us having band practise." Luna nodded. "Go ahead. I don't really mind." That's when Blaise, Sunset and Applejack opened the compartment door. The girls looked at Pinkie Pie expectantly. "1, 2… 1! 2! 3! 4!" cried Pinkie Pie, waving her drumsticks. "We're best friends, forever," sang Rainbow Dash. "Forever, forever," harmonized the Rainbooms. "We're BFFs to the core," added Rarity. "The core," sang Twilight. "One moment can change it all, One thing could have made it fall, But that's what we're about! We're best friends, forever, Forever, forever, We're BFFs to the core, The core!" cried the Rainbooms. "The magic of friendship flows inside us!" cried Applejack. "The love spreads through the others!" cried Sunset. "One moment can change it all, One thing could have made it fall, But that's what we're about!" cried the Rainbooms together. "We're best friends, forever, Forever, forever, We're BFFs to the core, The core!" "We're BFFs to the core," finished Rainbow Dash. The compartment door opened again. Hermione and Ron came in. "Guess who's a prefect?" asked Ron, looking around the room. "Malfoy?" guessed Blaise. "Yes," said Hermione angrily. "And that complete cow Pansy Parkinson. When she has a brain thicker than a concussed troll, I don't know how it happened." She looked sheepish. Directing her words at Blaise, she said, "You're not upset, are you?" "No," said Blaise honestly. "I don't even like them anyway." "Then Ernie MacMillian and Hannah Abbott are Hufflepuff and Anthony Goldstein and Padma Patil for Ravenclaw," said Hermione. "You went to the yule ball with Padma Patil," said Luna dreamily. "I know I did." said Ron. "She wasn't very happy," replied Luna. "I wouldn't have minded though, I don't like dancing." Ron ignored the final comment. "Well," said Ron. "If Malfoy gets to my mates first, I'll make Goyle write lines. 'I must stop looking like a bareback buffoon.' He mimed Goyle writing lines. "I must stop looking like a bareback buffoon...'" The whole compartment, apart from Hermione elapsed into fits of giggles, but no one laughed as much or as hard as Luna Lovegood. "Bare-back- buf-foon!" said Luna, struggling to contain her laughter, tears streaming down her face as she clutched her sides. "Ron!" cried Hermione reproachfully. "Be careful what you say!" "Yes, Professor Granger," said Ron, as a joke. "It's not funny!" cried Hermione. Hermione turned away from Ron and started to talk to Ginny. "Wow." said Sunset to Twilight. "I've never seen Ron and Hermione argue or ignore each other before." "Nor have I," said Twilight, putting her arm around Sunset, looking out of the window. Pinkie Pie smiled. Now there was someone who liked jokes as much as she did.
first day of lessonsChapter 3: The first day of lessons Sunset walked into Arithmancy with Twilight and Hermione. "Hey, Sunset!" cried Ernie. "Good holidays?" "Great, Ernie, thanks," replied Sunset. "Yours?" "Boring. Mum and dad wouldn't let me do anything. What about yours, Hermione?" Hermione smiled. "I spent about 3 weeks with Ron and Harry and then a week with Twilight." "Anyway, it's back to school. OWLs this year!" cried Twilight. Sunset groaned. "Twi, please, just please stop reminding us of the worst exams ever! All I want to do is get this over and done with then I can play Tickle Fruit 2!" "Huh," said Twilight. "Come on. Let's sit down." As Sunset walked with Twilight to Herbology(which by the way was the next lesson), Rainbow Dash came up. "Um, Dash." said Sunset. "Can I talk for you for just a second?" Rainbow Dash raised her eyebrows. "Go ahead, Sun. What do ya wanna talk to me about?" Sunset sighed. "Um, I'm Quidditch Captain for Slytherin and I was wondering, do you have any advice?" Rainbow Dash smiled. "Well, establish a rivalry, like CPA and CHS. If you can, obviously. Be kind and show them team spirit. Don't make too many enemies, but have fun! Also, a good pep talk before matches are a good idea." "Thanks, Dash," said Sunset gratefully. Professor Sprout came into the Greenhouse. "Get into groups of 4 or 5, please." "Hey, Sunset! Twi!" shouted Applejack, waving the two girls over. "Do ya wanna work with me, Dash and Fluttershy?" Sunset's face lit up. "Sure, guys!" she cried. Twilight pored over the book. "Guys, it says in the book we have to jab the Snargaluff pods then put the tubers in the bowl." Professor Sprout smiled. "That's the way to do it, Miss Sparkle. Maybe your group would like to demonstrate?" Twilight got a knife from the side and gently jabbed the Snargaluff pod. She then held the tuber with her thumb and fore and gently placed the wriggling tuber in a glass bowl. "Perfect! Now, The group who can get the most snargaluff pods in their glass bowl will earn 50 points for their house. Miss Sparkle, could you pass me that bowl and you collect a new one?" Twilight passed Professor Sprout the bowl and collected a new one. "Your time starts… NOW!" 1 hour passed and Neville's group (Hannah, Neville, Harry, Ron and Hermione) and Twilight's group (Rainbow, Applejack, Sunset, Fluttershy and Twilight) were tied. "And I present 350 points to Gryffindor, 100 points to Hufflepuff and 50 points to Slytherin!" "That was the best Herbology lesson I ever had!" cried Harry. Rainbow Dash laughed. "Same here!" "We have Potions with you guys," said Twilight. "Sunset, do you wanna sit next to me?" "Yeah, but Blaise will be also next to me, so I can help him. And if we can, obviously." Twilight laughed. "Of course, Sun." In potions, Professor Snape swept in and shut the door. "I want you all to make the Draught of peace. In pairs. Mr Potter, you will work with Mr Weasley. Mr Malfoy, you'll work with Miss Sparkle. Miss Granger, you'll work with Mr Crabbe. Miss Shimmer, you'll work with Mr Zabini. Miss Dash, you'll work with Mr Goyle. Miss Apple, you'll work with Mr Longbottom. Patil, Brown. Finnigan, Thomas. You have one hour." "Right," said Sunset. "This will be easy." "For you," said Blaise. "Snape likes you. You're like his top student!" Sunset started to put all the ingredients and followed the steps, step by step. Blaise smiled. "Wow! I'd say we've done!" Sunset blushed. "Uh, thanks, Blaise," she replied shyly. "Shall we get Professor Snape to check it?" Blaise collected a sample and handed it to Professor Snape. "Well, that looks near perfect!" said Snape. "Well done, I'll award you 10 points to Slytherin each." Snape smiled a rare smile and then walked around the room. "Longbottom. The potion is supposed to be Midnight blue. It's-" "Orange," said Applejack sheepishly. "I'm sorry, Professor. We got a little mixed up with the ingredients and Nev didn't really understand anythin' you said an' Hermione an' Twi and Sunse' was busy with their own and I know that Dash is better than ah am but ah don't suppose we could swop partners with someone who's better than potions?" "Miss Sparkle, how are you getting on?" "Draco's not letting me do any work!" "Right. Malfoy, you need to start again. Did you even weigh the ingredients?" "Um…" said Draco. "Er, I thought I did. But do I have to work with the Mudblood? She doesn't stop talking about books so I just ignored her." "Miss Sparkle, I want you to work with Mr Longbottom. Your friend has alerted me that Longbottom obviously needs coaching. Miss Apple, you work with Mr Malfoy." Soon the lesson had finished and it seemed Sunset and Blaise made a Draught of Peace successfully. "For homework," said Snape, "I want you all to write an essay on Moonstones and their properties. Dismissed." They exited the potions lab, the students talking and laughing. "That was nice of Snape to let you help me," said Neville. "It's only because it's the beginning of a year," said Twilight, hoisting her backpack on her back. "And now, I have transfiguration!" groaned Applejack. "I love transfiguration!" cried Twilight.
The first Quidditch match: Gryffindor vs HufflepuffChapter 4: The first Quidditch match: Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff "Good luck, Ron!" cried Twilight. "Good luck, Sunset!" The flame haired girl smiled. "Thanks, Twi," she replied. "I hope I do well." Draco smirked. "What is Weasley riding?" Sunset glared at Malfoy. "Shut up, Malfoy," she said quietly. "You have no right to talk to one of my friends like that." "Oooh!" said Crabbe, smirking. "So Shimmer likes Gryffindors?" "No," said Sunset quietly. "Ron's a friend of one of my closest friends, Twilight Sparkle. Twi and I have been friends since forever." Sunset took Draco to one side. "Malfoy, just listen. I may be young but I love my friends and I am loyal to Slytherin. Now, keep out of the way until you see the snitch. Good luck, and may the best house win!" Sunset shook hands with Angelina Johnson. "And they're off! Adrian Pucey passes the quaffle to someone but Alicia Spinnet intercepts and passes to Captain Angelina Johnson! Yes! I don't believe it! She beat the keeper! 10 points to Gryffindor!" yelled Lee. "What is that the Slytherins are singing?" Lee paused and the sea of green and silver grew louder. "Weasley is our King! Weasley is our King! He always lets the quaffle in, Weasley is our king!" "Well, all the Slytherins, apart from the Keeper, Sunset Shimmer, who seems to have a cross face at them! Anyway, Adrian Pucey with the quaffle, and heads towards the Gryffindor goal, come on Ron! 10 points to Slytherin! Crabbe chucks his bat at Alicia Spinnet and she falls back. The reserve, Rainbow Dash takes her place! YES! Dash has done it! She has done a reverse pass to Katie Bell. Fred Weasley hits a bludger at Malfoy, but dodges it and Malfoy slaps Fred Weasley around the face. FOUL! Free pass to Gryffindor! Katie Bell passes the quaffle to Angelina, Angelina passes the quaffle to Rainbow Dash, she shoots! ARGH! The Keeper has saved it! Still 10 all! Harry has seen the golden snitch, Malfoy tails him closely and it goes! They're disappointed. Come on GRYFFINDOR! Ron, it's coming! 20-10 to Slytherin!" Sunset watched closely. "Come on, Harry. Do it," she whispered. The Gryffindors scored, 20 even. Then Harry saw the snitch again. Harry flew around Malfoy, and caught it! "GRYFFINDOR wins!" cried Lee. Rainbow Dash smiled. "Yeah, Harry!" she screamed, punching the air. Malfoy sauntered up to the Gryffindor team. "Like my song, Potter? I was trying to think of a verse about Weasley's mother about how thick-" SLAP! Hermione ran down and slapped Draco in the face. "Don't talk about Ron's mother like that!" screamed Hermione. "You- you little monster!" "Hermione!" cried Sunset, grabbing the brunette's arm. "What the hell did you do that for? Someone could have got seriously hurt! I mean, Crabbe hurt Spinnet, you could have hurt Malfoy!" Draco didn't care. "And Potter's Mudblood mother!" "Don't call his mother that!" said Hermione, swinging back her arm. Ginny caught her. "I never forgot when you called me one!" Fred leapt forward but Twilight, Angelina and Katie were holding him back. However, Harry jumped forward and before Rainbow Dash could stop him, he and Draco were in a full-fledged fight. George leapt forward. "GEORGE!" yelled Ron and Applejack. "No, don't-" It was too late. George had already pulled Harry back. Madam Hooch blew her whistle. "I have never seen such monstrous behaviour. Mr Potter, Mr Weasley, go to Professor McGonagall now." Harry and George walked meekly to Professor McGonagall's office. Sunset took Draco to one side. "Draco, listen. Cut down on the bullying. I used to be just like you. But I then discovered friendship was the path. Trust me. I've been where you are. I know how you feel. I've done this. I've made the same mistake you're making." "What do you mean, you've made the same mistake," said Draco. "That's another story. I don't tell anyone this unless it's in an emergency. But all I can tell you, try to be a little kinder. You'll regret your actions when you're older." "Sunset's right," said Twilight. "Kindness is everything." "MIDNIGHT SPARKLE?!" cried Rainbow Dash. The 2 girls turned. "Midnight!" gasped Twilight. "I thought we abolished you at Everfree!" Midnight Sparkle cackled. "Clearly not, Twily." "Hey! Only my friends and family can call me Twily. YOU ARE NOT FAMILY OR FRIENDS!" "Fine, Twilight." "LIGHT HER UP LADIES!" yelled Pinkie Pie. The mane 7 glowed bright pink, the colour of Twilight's magic. They ponied up, and ears, wings, tails and manes grew. They also had a new wardrobe. The Magic of Friendship wrapped around Midnight Sparkle. "Midnight, I am locking you in the depths of my brain until you learn to be A LOT less childish and then I'll set you free. Deal?" said Twilight. Midnight Sparkle rolled her eyes. "Fine, Twilight. You win." The mane 7 landed gently on the ground. Midnight Sparkle was back in the depths of Twilight's brains. "That- was- so AWESOME!" said Blaise, his eyes widening. "Who was that?" "That," said Twilight, "was my alter-ego, Midnight Sparkle. I did something terrible many years ago and she sometimes still appears out of nowhere. We made a deal so she won't hurt anyone else. The girls helped me forgive myself for my actions. You alright, Sun?" Sunset was trembling like crazy. "Are you sure?" asked Fluttershy. "You're trembling." "She's next." she said. "Although I tried to do it, I actually never forgave myself for the bad stuff I did. Everytime I look at that yearbook, I just feel tears welling up in my eyes. Of anger. It just reminds me of who I was." "But, Sun," said Twilight, "It doesn't matter who you were before. It's your actions. And the time when you sacrificed those memories for us cancelled the bad stuff you may have done in the past. That's bravery, Sunset. And leadership." The auburn girl smiled. "Thanks, Twilight." she said. "Now, come on," said Blaise. "How about we do something nice?" "Let's get some band practise in!" shouted Rainbow Dash. "Um, Dashie?" whispered Fluttershy. "What about our magic? Shouldn't we ask Professor Dumbledore if we can do an assembly on our magic?" "That's a great idea Flutters," said Rarity. "Let's do it!" "After band practise!" cried Rainbow Dash. Sunset rolled her eyes. "Fine, Dash. You win." The girls laughed as they headed up to the secret music room they had been given permission to practise in.
the assemblyChapter 6: The assembly "We've got permission!" cried Twilight excitedly. The next day, The mane 7 stood in the Great Hall. "Hi," said Twilight nervously. "Um, this weekend, most of you saw us grow wings and tails. Well, we decided we would like to tell you all about this. The reason why we can grow wings and tails and stuff is because of what happened back at Canterlot High. I didn't even exist at CHS." "Back at CHS," explained Sunset, "I stole a crown belonging to Twilight's counterpart, Princess Twilight Sparkle from another world. I bullied everyone there, but she(Princess Twilight) stood up to me and I sort of made things rather difficult for her. I got my hands on the crown and I turned into a-" she gulped. "Um, a raging she-demon. Then 5 wonderful girls and Princess Twilight basically stripped me of my evil self and I vowed to be a much nicer person, resulting in teaching our Twilight Sparkle about friendship. The fact we can grow wings and tails when playing music is a different matter, our latest songs. But before we perform our songs, Does anypony-sorry-anyone have any questions?" Sunset giggled. "Sorry. I'm a unicorn. I still sometimes slip into my old habits." Hermione raised her hand. "Yes, Hermione?" "Um. When you said your friends stripped you of your evil self, did you ever forgive yourself?" "I-erm, I never did forgive myself," said Sunset. "However hard I tried, I couldn't. I always thought when I looked at the old yearbooks, was I really that bad?" she turned to Pinkie Pie. "Ready?" "Yep. 1...2… and a 1-2-3-4!" cried Pinkie Pie, waving her drumsticks "We're best friends, forever," sang Rainbow Dash. "Forever, forever," harmonized the Rainbooms. "We're BFFs to the core," added Rarity. "The core," sang Twilight. "One moment can change it all, One thing could have made it fall, But that's what we're about! We're best friends, forever, Forever, forever, We're BFFs to the core, The core!" cried the Rainbooms. "The magic of friendship flows inside us!" cried Applejack. "The love spreads through the others!" cried Sunset. "One moment can change it all, One thing could have made it fall, But that's what we're about!" cried the Rainbooms together. "We're best friends, forever, Forever, forever, We're BFFs to the core, The core!" "We're BFFs to the core," finished Rainbow Dash. "So, there you go," said Rarity. "The first song. Our second song." "1, 2… and a 1-2-3-4!" cried Pinkie Pie, knocking her drumsticks together. "'We've been friends since forever. "'We're always together. "'Forever! "'Together!'" they cried. "'We have the Magic of friendship inside us,'" said Twilight. "'That always grows as we grow,'" said Rainbow Dash. "'We do everything together. "'Absolutely everything!" cried the Rainbooms "'Best friends forever. "'One more step to be BFFs. "'A few more years until we're separated. "'But we're BFFs forever. "'2 more years until we go off on our own. "'A few more years until we return. "'But we're always together. "''Cause we're BFFs forever. "'This year is full of fun!'" they cried. "Next year is gonna be even more fun!" cried Pinkie Pie. "FUN! FUN! FUN! EVERYONE, REPEAT AFTER ME! FUN! FUN! FUN! AND MORE FUN!" Pinkie Pie drummed a solo on her drum set, grinning and letting loose confetti. The others smiled. Ears, tails, manes and wings sprouted out of them. "'Best friends forever. "'One more step to be BFFs. "'A few more years until we're separated. "'But we're BFFs forever. "'2 more years until we go off on our own. "'A few more years until we return. "'But we're always together. "''Cause we're BFFs forever. "'Best friends forever. "'One more step to be BFFs. "'A few more years until we're separated. "'But we're BFFs forever. "'2 more years until we go off on our own. "'A few more years until we return. "'But we're always together! "''Cause we're BFFs forever!'" The additionals disappeared as suddenly as they came. Rainbow Dash laughed. "There you go. We've finished." The girls took their bows and the other students stood up and clapped, apart from Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson. The girls were in the entrance hall when Harry and Blaise caught up with them. "That was amazing!" cried Harry They stopped in front of a wall. Rules had been put up. Twilight gasped. "What are we to do?" asked Rarity, glancing at her friends. "We'd better warn the DA," said Blaise.
dating in the music room(Harry x Rainbow Dash)Chapter 8: Dating in the music room "That's amazing!" cried Blaise, clapping. Harry nodded. "I'm going to study for our charms exam. Charms OWLs tomorrow!" cried Twilight. "You guys coming?" Rainbow Dash shook her head. "I need to speak to Harry privately." Twilight smiled. "Come on guys. Hermione and I are going to have an all nighter." The others walked out, separating for their respective common rooms. Rainbow Dash smiled. "You asked me ages ago about my past and friends. I would tell you the whole story, but the whole thing all starts with Sunset. You see…" FLASHBACK- Through the mirror Princess Twilight looked down on the sobbing redhead in the pit. The other Equestria Girls, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rarity joined her too. But Rainbow Dash knew that feeling. FLASHBACK- Middle school Rainbow Dash was on the soccer field, playing soccer. Cloudkicker was in the possession of the ball, when Rainbow Dash tackled her and did not pass to anyone. She scored a goal. The whistle blew. "DASH!" cried the coach, Spitfire. "You need to work as a team. See me in my office after school." FLASHBACK-Back to through the mirror Rainbow Dash gently pulled Sunset from the pit. "I know that feeling. I was a middle school bully. I bullied my teammates in football. I wanted to become a better person. I- I just went the wrong way, Sunset. Sometimes, we can't choose our friends, but we'd be willing to help those who have a lot to learn. I'm pretty new to this too. We all are. We've all done things we've regretted, even Princess Twilight, right?" The princess nodded. "Just before I became a princess, I was stuck in a duel with the pony world Trixie and I lost. I regretted not asking for help in the first place. Trixie shoved me out of Ponyville. I seeked advice from Zecora, the wise Zebra and she taught me. I used the magic of friendship and I defeated her. I still have the amulet, but that's safely tucked away. Trust me. I get you. And we can teach you, right, girls?" The 5 girls nodded. Suddenly, Twilight pulled Sunset up and embraced her in a loving hug. "When you're ready, Princess Celestia will welcome you home with open hooves," she whispered in Sunset's ear Sunset smiled a weak smile. "Thank you so much, Twilight. I don't deserve this at all." "Oh, but you do," said Fluttershy kindly. "Especially people like you. You need help. Trust me. You can accept our help and like Dash, you can change for the better, or..." "You can always be alone," finished Princess Twilight, sighing. "The choice is yours. I think it's clear that you felt unloved. You're wrong now. You have 6 wonderful friends, or 6 wonderful to be friends who love you to bits. But first, Sunset. I need you to apologise to those you hurt. I forgive you, and maybe the girls do too, I don't know, but I don't know if the rest of the school will forgive you. To show them you have changed, you must do an exceptionally good deed. Remember, they will be there to guide you as well as be your friend." FLASHBACK- anon-a-miss Sunset hesitantly walked into the Sweet Shoppe. "Whatcha doin' here, Shimmer?" asked Rainbow Dash coldly. "You're not our friend. You hear me? You're not our-" Sunset opened her journal. "I've told Princess Twilight everything," said Sunset. "She asked me who is your family? So I ask you: Would the Sunset Shimmer you know now, the current one, would she do this?" That shut the girls' mouths. "Oh fuck," said Rainbow Dash. "I don't know." "No," said Applejack quietly. "You'd never do this. Ahm so sorry, Sunset. And Dash, language." "I think I know who it is though," said Sunset, glancing towards the door. "Yeah." said Applebloom. "It was us. Sweetie Belle took Sunset's phone, I posted Piggly Wiggly and Scootaloo helped set the account up. Ahm sorry, Sunset. I really truly mean it. I was jealous, well, we were jealous of our sisters spendin' more time with ya, Sunset, so yeah." "Bloom, yer grounded fer the rest of the Christmas break," said Applejack. "You can sweep the barn, feed the chickens, feed the cows, look after Winona and goodness knows what. Consider yerself lucky, sis. I could be a lot harsher." "I'm afraid," said Rarity, "we're gonna have to tell Principal Celestia." "I'm sorry, girls," said Sunset. "But it's over now, all just a simple misunderstanding." Dear Princess Twilight, We know who the culprit is: The CMC, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. They confessed this afternoon. Applejack is going to ground Applebloom. Send my love to Spike and Princesses Celestia and Luna. I miss you all, especially you. I wish I could see you again. Your friend, Sunset Shimmer PRESENT DAY- HOGWARTS "Wait…" said Harry, his emerald green eyes widening in shock. "You were a bully?" Rainbow Dash nodded, ashamed. "I still love you," said Harry, inching closer to Rainbow. "I love you too, Harry," said Rainbow Dash. Before they knew it, they were kissing. "You know, Dash. You're a pretty good kisser, considering you've never kissed a boy before." Rainbow Dash laughed. "Totally. I'm really bad. Tried to date Zephyr Breeze. Didn't turn out well. Bitch he was." "Let's get studying," said Harry. "Charms Owl tomorrow. You nervous?" "Eh," said Rainbow Dash. "Let's go back to the common room." Meanwhile, in the Slytherin common room, Sunset and Blaise were sitting on a sofa. "You asked me why I never talk about my past, it's just that, it's traumatizing," Sunset sighed. "Here goes…" FLASHBACK- Through the mirror-Sunset's side to the story Everyone looked down on me, sobbing in a pit. I then saw Rainbow Dash smile at me, I wasn't sure, but did she know my feelings? I don't know but I think she got me. FLASHBACK- Middle school- TtM Rainbow Dash memory Rainbow Dash was on the soccer field, playing soccer. Cloudkicker was in the possession of the ball, when Rainbow Dash tackled her and did not pass to anyone. She scored a goal. The whistle blew. "DASH!" cried the coach, Spitfire. "You need to work as a team. See me in my office after school." FLASHBACK- Back to through the mirror- Sunset's side to the story She gently pulled me from the pit. "I know that feeling.

"Thanks," I whispered so only Princess Twilight could hear me. FLASHBACK- anon-a-miss- Sunset's side to the story I hesitantly walked into the Sweet Shoppe. "Whatcha doin' here, Shimmer?" asked Rainbow Dash coldly. "You're not our friend. You hear me? You're not our-" I opened my journal. "I've told Princess Twilight everything," I said.

"No." said Applejack quietly. "You'd never do this. Ahm so sorry, Sunset. And Dash, language." "I think I know who it is though," I said, glancing towards the door. I had noticed 3 girls had come in. But no one else had. "Yeah." said Applebloom. "It was us. Sweetie Belle took Sunset's phone, I posted Piggly Wiggly and Scootaloo helped set the account up. Ahm sorry, Sunset. I really truly mean it.

Your friend, Sunset Shimmer PRESENT DAY- HOGWARTS "...And that's that," said Sunset lamely. "That's me. I basically turned into a terrifying demon and I was accused of posting everyone's secrets at school, until the culprits came forward and confessed." "You know," said Blaise, "It doesn't matter who you were in the past, it's now. You're the kindest, sweetest girl I have ever met. I love you." "Kindness isn't my thing," said Sunset. "I'm more ambitious, and more smart. I'm not mean, well, not that mean anymore, but you get it, don't you?" Blaise shut his textbook with a bang and let his lips slide over Sunset's. Sunset giggled. They were kissing in secret. "You know," said Sunset. "I truly think Hogwarts has changed us all. Especially after that Thestral lesson with Hagrid, I feel like the Forbidden forest has really changed us all. The forbidden forest is like an enchanted forest, right? And they say an enchanted forest is a place of transformation." Author's Note In this chapter, the story is repeated. The reason? Because this is Sunset’s story and Rainbow’s story . As I told Ilikethemsalty on Fanfiction.net(here is the message: it was supposed to be like that, as Sunset and Dash were telling the exact same story, their lives at CHS(see Equestria Girls 1) and parts of it are based on the film itself so I wanted to keep important bits in. I did add a subtle hint to Frozen II, did you notice that? If you did, I'm delighted. Well, yeah. It's basically a reworking of Equestria Girls 1 and Anon-a-miss. I did consider Friendship Games for Sunset's POV but I decided no, as well, it is exciting, but it's a very competitive story(i mean that someone(and this character is mentioned a lot in this fanfic) is mega competitve. Maybe you can guess who this mega competitive person is?) The flash backs aren't really part of it, it's just that it is background info about Dash and Shimmer(See Friendship Games and Mirror Magic) which isn't crucial to the story but it may come in handy later in chapter 9. Also, it tells you what universe this is set in: Original Universe. You know that because of the Flashbacks. You'll understand when you see the videos.) Thanks!
owls, battle and house cup(but mainly house cup)Chapter 9: OWLs, a battle and the house cup Today was the first day of exams. Blaise and Hermione were walking to the Great Hall together, revising, burying their noses in their books. It was Charms today. Sunset was talking to Rainbow Dash about their favourite video game, the Rise of Tirek. Twilight glared at the 2 girls, then returned to revising. A bell rang and they sat down in their seats. It was the final day of exams, a History of Magic. Harry was bored. He shut his eyes to think, but then instead, he saw Voldemort torturing Sirius. Harry was trembling. Hermione had grasped his arm. "You okay?" asked Hermione, helping him up. "Just saw Sirius get tortured in the department of mysteries." said Harry, trying to stay calm. "But what if it's one of Voldemort's tricks?" asked Blaise. "What if he's trying to lure you there?" "Then we're gonna check," said Rainbow Dash. "Leave this to us. We'll make distractions. Pinkie, AJ, Sun and I will distract Umbridge. Ron, Ginny, Luna and Neville, you distract Draco and his cronies. Blaise, keep guard on Umbridge's office. That leaves you both to get to Sirius. Rarity, Twilight, I need you to get to the east wing. Make a shield to block." "Right." said Rarity. "Come on, Twi." Harry and Hermione ran into Umbridge's office. Harry threw floo powder into the fire. He stuck his head in. "12 grimmauld place!" Kreacher was there. "Master has gone!" Kreacher croaked. Harry pulled his head out of the fire, coughing and spluttering. The mane 7 drew their wands on Umbridge and the Inquisitorial squad. "If you hurt Harry or Hermione," threatened Rainbow Dash, "You'll get the worst. If you don't, then you're okay." "Dash." warned Sunset, elbowing the multi colored haired girl. "You could get detention." "Do I look like I care?" asked Rainbow Dash, fuming. "All I want is to see my boyfriend safe." " I know. I get you." said Sunset softly. Harry looked at Hermione. Umbridge pushed him roughly into a chair. "Tell me. What have you been doing? Who have you been talking to?" Hermione answered the question. "Professor Dumbledore, Headmistress. We're trying to tell him about our secret weapon but he's gone and oh we've searched everywhere." "Malfoy!" cried Umbridge. "Fetch Snape now." Malfoy hurried out of the room to get Snape. "Professor Snape," said Umbridge sweetly. "Do you have any more veritaserum? Potter isn't telling me anything." "You used the last on Miss Chang." "WAIT!" shouted Harry, holding out his hand to stop Snape. "Professor Snape, Padfoot. In danger. Snuffles. Please." "Potter. Whatever you are talking about, please stop." said Snape. "Dolores, you have someone who can read minds in this very room. With one touch." Sunset was horrified, as she realised Snape was talking about her. "No, no, no, no, NO! Not me!" she screamed, backing away. "I only use my powers in dire situations, like finding out who sucked my friends into a magical mirror at the Canterlot Movie Theatre, remember? Or trying to find who took your memories, unfortunately the culprit erased the entire afternoon. Or Star Swirled, remember?" Umbridge dragged Sunset to Harry and laid her hand on Harry's hand. Her eyes gleamed white, as she saw Harry's thoughts. "Well, Shimmer?" asked Umbridge Sunset sighed. "Harry wanted to speak to Dumbledore." she said flatly. "It's true!" Twilight had an idea. "Professor, we'd like to show you where the weapon is. Hermione, lead the way." Rainbow Dash knew what Twilight was doing. After distracting Umbridge, Hermione, Harry and Twilight met up with the others on the bridge. "We fly, of course," said Rainbow Dash, as though the answer was obvious. They arrived at the Department of mysteries, running. They entered the prophecy room. "Hey, Harry!" cried Blaise. "There's something with your name on." Harry raised an eyebrow. "My name?" he said, confused. As soon as Harry touched it, death eaters appeared. "Stupefy!" cried Hermione. "Everte!" said Twilight "RUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!" yelled Ginny. "REDUCTO!" They didn't need telling twice. Rainbow Dash flew above them, distracting. "Come on!" cried Rainbow Dash. They kept running. Black air wrapped around them all, except Harry and Rainbow Dash. Lucius Malfoy spoke. "Give me that prophecy, Potter. Or watch your friends die the hard way." "Don't give it to him!" yelled Neville, struggling against Bellatrix. "Silence!" said Bellatrix. Harry looked from his friends to the glass orb in his hand. "No. Hey, Dash! Catch!" Harry threw the orb and Rainbow Dash caught it like a seeker. Then Sirius, Lupin, Tonks, Moody and Kingsley came. "Don't come near my Godson!" said Sirius, punching Lucius Malfoy. The Death Eaters started to duel the Order members. Rainbow Dash tried to throw the orb back to Harry but she dropped it. The orb fell with a loud clatter, dust escaping out. "Born at the end of the 7th month…" said a misty voice. "Has powers the dark lord knows not…" Then the mist stopped speaking, as everyone started shouting. "Confringo!" cried Blaise, at Macnair. "GINNY!" yelled Luna. "Is your ankle alright?" Harry's green eyes widened as he saw Sirius die. "SIRIUS!" Harry ran after Bellatrix, cursing, Dumbledore following behind. Voldemort appeared. Bellatrix ran to a floo, cackling Dumbledore and Voldemort were duelling, Dumbledore winning. Harry lay on the floor, weak. Voldemort was trying to possess Harry, not succeeding because Harry was grieving for Sirius. Dumbledore sent them back to Hogwarts where they would be safe. The house cup was nearly upon them. In 4th place was Gryffindor. 3rd, Hufflepuff 2nd, Ravenclaw 1st, Slytherin. Dumbledore stood up. "I'd like to make a few announcements. Yesterday, fourteen 5th years went to the Ministry to fight Voldemort, who is back. Therefore, for their bravery I award: 50 points to Gryffindor each to Miss Ginny Weasley, Mr Ronald Weasley, Mr Neville Longbottom, Miss Hermione Granger, Miss Applejack Apple and Miss Twilight Sparkle. I also award 60 points for Gryffindor to Mr Harry Potter for his bravery and 60 points to Miss Rainbow Dash for her loyalty. I also award 50 points to Ravenclaw each to Miss Luna Lovegood and Miss Rarity Belle. I will also award 50 points to Hufflepuff each to Miss Fluttershy Shy and Miss Pinkie Pie. Finally, 50 points each to Mr Blaise Zabini and Miss Sunset Shimmer. I think a change of decorations is needed, what do you think? GRYFFINDOR WIN!" All the Gryffindor students cheered. Applejack and Rainbow Dash clung onto each other and danced a country dance. Neville and Hermione grinned and then unlike responsible 5th years, they did a hip hop dance with Harry and Ron. McGonagall gave them all daggers, telling them to be quiet and sit down. Dumbledore then waved his wand and red gold hangings hung from above and a lion statue was in the middle of the hall. "Um, Professor?" asked Blaise nervously. "Can I make an announcement? Quickly?" "Yes, Mr Zabini. Please go ahead." said Dumbledore. Blaise sighed. "When I first met Sunset Shimmer at the Yule Ball, she showed me true friendship and kindness. When I needed help, she was always there for me." He dropped down onto one knee. "Sunset Reginald Shimmer. You are the sweetest girl I have ever met. You are kind, loving, loyal and above all, brave. Will you- will you marry me?" The other girls smirked, especially Rainbow Dash, who smirked the biggest smirk she ever smirked. "Ah knew this was coming." whispered Applejack to Rainbow Dash. "Me too." said Rainbow Dash Sunset started to cry, bringing her hands up to her mouth to hide the gasp. "Yes!" she squeaked, throwing herself into Blaise's arms. Awws came their way. Sunset and Blaise stood up. He gently placed the golden ring on her ring finger, on her right hand. 2 weeks later, at Blaise's house, in a marquee, all the Rainbooms, and the silver and golden trio were invited. Blaise also invited Draco and Pansy and Millicent Bulstrode. "Do you, Blaise William Zabini, promise to keep to Miss Sunset Reginald Shimmer and declare you are bonded for life?" "I do." they said simultaneously. The little man stood up. He waved golden sparkles over them. "Then I declare you are bonded for life." "Congratulations!" cried Rarity. "I honestly thought I'd be the first person to get a boyfriend. You look nice." "Thanks," said Sunset. "A very special friend insisted on making it." Rarity laughed. "Me. You wanna get your guitar and play something?" "Yeah!" cried Sunset, laughing. "Race ya to the stage!" Sunset got her electric guitar and tuned it. The girls stood on the stage. "Ready to play?" asked Rainbow Dash "Yeah!" shouted the others. "1...2...1-2-3-4!" cried Pinkie Pie, bringing them on cue The Equestria Girls were ready to rock and roll! Author's Note I know Sunset is 16 and Blaise is 16. I know they are both too young to get married. And I know it’s semi-cute. But, I wanted to end on a happier note, where as a lot of stuff in this story is sad. So, here you go! I hope you enjoyed it.
the new teacherChapter 2: the new teacher Ron and Hermione caught up with Luna, Ginny and Neville. Harry was ahead, talking to Rainbow Dash about the latest sports, and Twilight had buried her nose in a book. They sat down at their respective tables and Professor Dumbledore stood up. He was making amnoucements. Then, a woman with curly mousy brown hair and a pink cardigan stood up. "Hem, hem," she said. "My name is Professor Umbridge and I am your new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher! Now, I will be inspecting some of your lessons and will be reporting my findings to the Minister. Thank you." Applejack looked at Rainbow Dash and Harry. "Man, that woman is one pink gal!" Rainbow Dash nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, at the Slytherin Table, Sunset looked from Blaise to the rest of the Slytherins. "It says I'm Quidditch Captain. I don't get it. What am I supposed to do?" "Why don't you ask Rainbow Dash?" suggested Blaise. "I'm sure she'll come up with some tips, right? We have Herbology tomorrow with the Gryffindors, so why don't you ask her then?" Sunset smiled nervously. "Yeah, thanks, Blaise," she replied.
band practiceChapter 5: band practise "1, 2… and a 1-2-3-4!" cried Pinkie Pie, knocking her drumsticks together. "'We've been friends since forever. "'We're always together. "'Forever! "'Together!'" they cried. "'We have the Magic of friendship inside us,'" said Twilight. "'That always grows as we grow,'" said Rainbow Dash. "'We do everything together. "'Absolutely everything!" cried the Rainbooms "'Best friends forever. "'One more step to be BFFs. "'A few more years until we're separated. "'But we're BFFs forever. "'2 more years until we go off on our own. "'A few more years until we return. "'But we're always together. "''Cause we're BFFs forever. "'This year is full of fun!'" they cried. "Next year is gonna be even more fun!" cried Pinkie Pie. "FUN! FUN! FUN! EVERYONE, REPEAT AFTER ME! FUN! FUN! FUN! AND MORE FUN!" Pinkie Pie drummed a solo on her drum set, grinning and letting loose confetti. The others smiled. Ears, tails, manes and wings sprouted out of them. "'Best friends forever. "'One more step to be BFFs. "'A few more years until we're separated. "'But we're BFFs forever. "'2 more years until we go off on our own. "'A few more years until we return.

"You're sounding cool," said Blaise. "Thanks," said Rarity.
grawp: about 6 weeks later...Chapter 7; Grawp(about 6 weeks later…) Harry sat down in the stands to watch Ron. Hagrid tapped him and Hermione on the shoulder. "Oh, hey, Hagrid," said Hermione. "Is everything alright?" Hagrid motioned to the Forbidden Forest. "Alright," said Harry. "We're coming." Harry and Hermione followed Hagrid to the Forbidden Forest. "This is my half-brother, Grawp," said Hagrid, proudly. Hagrid poked the rock like thing. "GRAWPY!" Hermione looked up at the giant in wonder. Grawp lumbered towards them and grabbed her. Hermione waved a finger at Grawp, sternly. "Grawp, put me down," she said sternly. "Put. Me. Down." Grawp looked sheepish and let Hermione go. "Hermy," said Hagrid. "This is Hermy and Harry." "What are we supposed to do to him? Teach him English? Be a friend?" demanded Harry. "Exactly," said Hagrid. "In case I get sacked." They met Ron back in the Gryffindor common room. "So that's why Hagrid was away!" cried Ron. "Yeah," said Harry. "That's why. Anyway. I need to go. I agreed to meet Rainbow. She invited me to watch band practise. You comin'?" "Nah," said Hermione. "I'm going to study. And make sure Ron does his homework. Have fun." Harry smiled. He turned and pushed open the portrait and walked out of the Gryffindor common room.
