The real Twilightby TwinAttorney864ChaptersAh, Middle School...What the heck is CSGI?Ghost of Party PastRevelations : MinuetteAw hell, we're doing this now?Side-Shot: The Security GuardAh, Middle School..."I'm BOOORRREEEDDDD!" Pinkie wailed. "We know Pinkie," Sunset said, staring up at the cotton-candy colored roof of her friend's house. "You said that 5 minutes ago, and five minutes before that, and five minutes before that..." "Yeah, I know Sunny," Pinkie replied, " but that was an extra-long Bored, it was even italicized and bolded!" "What 'n tarnation do you mean Pinkie?" Applejack said, her hat over her eyes as she laid on Pinkie's bed. "You know what, don' answer that, I'dun wanna know." The Rainbooms have been like this for the entire morning. While it was summer break, it was so hot that anything to do outside would immediately make you tired and wash out (Rainbow learning the hard way when she ran to the Boardwalk). Since Pinkie's room was the only one large enough for all of them that also had A.C (Sunset couldn't buy one, Applejack didn't need one, and Fluttershy "enjoyed the natural air."), they all decided to just crash in her room until it was cool enough. "Yo, Pink's," Rainbow called from the other side of the room, "How hot is it this time?" Pinkie pulled herself up long enough to check the temperature on her windowsill, "37 C, Rainbow." Pinkie called, before slumping down back into her rugged floor. "37??" Rainbow's eyes bugged out, "that's up 2 from an hour ago!" "Well, technically," Twilight began, looking up from her book, "Because it's the highest point in the sky, the noon sun is always the hottest, and because the way the Earth revolves on its axis..." "Yadda yadda yadda," Rainbow mocked Twilight with her hand, "I get how the sun works, Twi, I passed science after all!" "Yeah, with a C!" Rarity berated her, said girl filing her nails on the bed, "and even then, you tried to bribe me and Twilight to help you cheat on your test!" "Semantics, Rares," Rainbow shot back, now playing rock-paper-scissors with herself. "I passed, and that's all that matters." “Well, it’s not like we can even go and do anything.” Applejack remarked, this time sitting up. “Most shops closed up early cause it was too hot to get any work done.” “Well, why don’t we just watch something on Haytube,” Pinkie asked, already pulling it up on her laptop. “It’s not like we got anything else better to do.” A chorus of ‘sure’ and ‘why not’ rang from the friend group, except for their book-loving friend. “No thanks, I’d rather read this book.” “What’s that book even about Twilight?” Sunset raised an eyebrow. She took the book from her friend, and flipped to the front, “The Universe in a Nutshell: By Steven Hoovings? Twilight, isn’t this like collage masters-level kinds of stuff?” “I know, but it’s an interesting read. I especially liked how...” “I’m going to stop you right there Twi,” Rainbow said, putting her finger on their nerdy friend’s lips. “You're probably going to say something about atoms, quarks, or black holes, and we’re probably going to fall asleep listening to you about it.” “Only you Twi,” Applejack began, looking up from a video of a cat dancing to Nyan Cat, “can take anything fun or remotely interesting, and make it a snooze story.” “Yeah, I mean you’re the only gal I know, darling, to turn down going to Prom with a senior in favor of just studying at home.” Rarity quipped, also looking up from the dancing cat video. “Yeah, because I don’t have time for ‘parties’ or ‘dance’ or anything like that.” Twilight shot back. “I mean, honestly, Twilight,” Sunset began, “You got to loosen up a little. Maybe go out more, dress in something that doesn’t look like it came out of a prep school and Forever 21 mixing machine. Maybe even throw on some contacts.” “Hah!” Twilight snorted, “I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing contacts Sunset. They’re too itchy for my eyes.” “But I suppose,” Twilight sighed, “I guess I can stop reading every minute of my life, for now.” “Well, it’s at least a start, Twi. Now come on! There’s a video of a guy dancing in a banana suit on to of a Mcdonald's sign!” Rainbow called out, her eyes already back on Pinkie’s laptop. “Honestly, girls,” Twilight remarked, “What’s so good about a dancing banana?” *7 hours later* “I cannot believe we watched 7 hours of guys in banana costumes dancing.” Twilight facepalmed. “HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!” Pinkie kept laughing. For some odd reason, the pink-haired girl kept laughing at even the stalest of jokes and most mundane of gags in the videos. “Well, I’ll be,” Applejack said, looking at the clock. “It’s already at 7 o’clock. Hey Pinkie!” “Yeah Applejack?” The pink-haired girl turned to face her friend. “You think we can stay at your place for tonight?” “As long as everyone’s okay with it, I’m fine.” “Fabulous, darling, I shall get our sleeping bags.” Rarity said. “And I’m going to get the snacks!” Rainbow called out, before sprinting down the stairs. “I’m going to get the movies!” Pinkie called out as well, before following Rainbow. “Applejack and I will get the beer!” Sunset yelled, then ran down the stairs laughing before Twilight can berate her. “And how about you Fluttershy?” ... “Fluttershy?” Twilight turned around to see Fluttershy staring at the screen, the videos still on autoplay. She kept watching videos over and over, her eyes never leaving the screen. After 5 minutes of just watching the girl, Twilight just backed away, “Ummm...” “PARTY TIME!!!” Pinkie yelled before Twilight got a fist-full of confetti thrown in her face. *Several hours of games and baking that I don’t have time to type later* The impromptu party lasted for several hours. Surprisingly, no one (except Fluttershy, who was still watching Haytube) had retired to bed and everyone was still up. Currently, they were in a Truth-or-Dare game. “Alright, Pinks, Truth, or Dare?” Rainbow asked the party-planner. “Dare me, Dashie!” “I dare you...” Rainbow looked around, staring at each of her friends, before settling on one of them, “To pull Fluttershy out of watching Haytube.” Suddenly, the room goes quiet. Even Pinkie, who was usually up screaming all the time, floated mid-air as she contemplated this. Everyone knew how Fluttershy got when she was ‘in the zone.’ Twilight, who did not know what they meant, once tried to pry Fluttershy out of watching Haytube. They still haven’t fixed the dent in the wall Twilight made when she was thrown into it. “...alright, I guess.” Pinkie agreed, after a moment of hesitance. Everyone knew the punishment of not taking up one of Rainbow Dash’s dares, and they had all agreed Fluttershy was the better option. Pinkie slowly made her way to Fluttershy, “Umm, Fluttershy, do you think... you’ve been watching too much Haytube?” One second passed... Two seconds passed... On the third, Pinkie thought she was safe, before hearing Fluttershy turning her head, and gave her The Stare. “Alright, alright! Nevermind!” Pinkie quickly replied, before sitting back down. “Alright, Pinks, you know the rule if you don’t follow through in a dare.” She then scooted closer to Pinkie, and whispered, “But don’t worry, we’ll take care of it later.” She said with a sultry grin, before going back to her spot. Noticing that Pinkie was blushing, she quickly chose another person, “Twilight! Truth or Dare?” “Truth!” The purple-skinned girl answered a little too quickly. She wasn’t about to go anywhere near Fluttershy anytime soon. “Have you ever gone clubbing?” Rainbow asked with a grin. “WHAT? NO! We’re underaged Rainbow Dash!” Twilight screamed. “Yeah, I know, I just had to confirm it.” “But why did you even ask that question?” Twilight asked puzzled. “Because,” Rainbow began, “I found what looked to be a fake i.d underneath your bedroom yesterday when we were doing homework.” As she said this, she pulled out her phone and showed everyone a picture. Sure enough, it showed Twilight’s face, and her name, but with a faked age and D.O.B that put her well above 21. The name was also ‘Midnight’ instead of ‘Twilight’. “Oh, yeah, that brings up some memories...” Twilight began, but then caught herself just as fast, “OF THE PARK! OF THE PARK!” When everyone gave her a puzzled look, she explained, “It was a gag gift Shining gave me at an amusement park upstate once. He joked about how it would have given me access to the ‘mature section’ of the park.” Unsurprisingly, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow laughed at that, Rarity made a gagging noise, Applejack tried not to laugh, and Sunset just grinned like always. “But, that brings up an interesting point,” Rarity said, “What would Twilight act like if she actually went partying?” A chorus of ‘what?’ and ‘huh?’ came from her friends. “I mean, just look at yourself darling, you’d be a smash hit at any party with the right clothes. It would be an interesting thing if you started to go partying yourself.” “Yeah right, Rares,” Rainbow remarked, “Egghead here would probably just try to find a couch and read a book about drinks or something.” “Haha...yeah.” Twilight said, “Totally would just be reading...” “Sugarcube, anythin’ the matter?” Applejack asked, noticing the bookworm's flustered look. “Ahahahah, nothings wrong Applejack. “Twilight said, waving off her friend. “Alright then, if nothin’ else, I think it’s time we head to bed.” A chorus of agreements rose from the group (Excluding Fluttershy) before everyone went off to their respective sleeping bags. “Twilight, you coming?” Sunset asked, her bookworm friend just standing there lost in thought. “Augh! Sorry, Sunset. Yeah, sure, I’ll be there. Just gotta...head to the bathroom!” Twilight said, laughing nervously. Sunset looked at her, seeing if there were any subtle changes in her friend's stance, before shrugging and saying “Eh, don’t take too long in there.” “I won’t!” Twilight yelled, running to the bathroom. She closed the bathroom door. After listening to hear if anyone was still outside. She exhaled slowly, before making her way to the mirror. She washed her face and went to dry herself off. When she looked up, she saw that her hair-tie fell out. She went to pick it up, but when she looked in the mirror to tie her hair back, she stopped. The Truth Rainbow Dash gave had pulled up some... interesting memories of her life before Crystal Prep, before Canterlot even. If she squinted, she could barely make out the past her. She remembered the nights long ago, with Moondancer, and Twinkleshine. She remembered neon lights, long hours in the bathroom because Twinkleshine always insisted that a girl had to look her best when going out. She could remember long nights of planning, sneaking beer underneath her parent's noses, planning some of the best nights Cambridge School of Gifted Individuals could ever remember... "NO!" Twilight yelled, slamming her fist on the marble countertop. "I moved here to Canterlot City to get away from all of that, not again..." She looked around, checking to see if anyone heard her little outburst right there. Content that no one heard her, she went to her bag and dug to the lowest point in it. She found the bottom of her bag and slipped her fingers through the fake bottom, pulling out a small purse. In it, she opened, to find what remained of her past life as Midnight Sparkle, CSGI's party planner extraordinaire and popular girl, followed by her friends Moondancer and Twinkleshine. There was a polaroid of her and her friends, all laughing as Twilight popped a champagne bottle. She pulled out the first beer bottlecap that she ever got, and, finally, the only pair of contact lenses that she owned. She remembered that night long ago when she was about to move to Canterlot, that she took off her contacts for the last time and put on her glasses for the first time... Flashback: "You don't have to leave, do you?" Twinkleshine sobbed. "I don't' want to leave you, girls, either, but my mom and dad got a better job up north, and they wanted to move immediately." "They couldn't even wait until Spring Break??" Moondancer's lips quivered, "We were supposed to throw the biggest party of our lives!" "It's not that they can't, it's that they won't. They want to move us as fast as possible." Twinkleshine sobbed a few more times, before wiping her eyes and looking at her friend for possibly the last time. "Make sure to throw some parties for us, will you?" Twilight softly shook her head. "The school I'm going to won't even be the public school, my parents enrolled me in the private school there. I don't even know if they like parties up there. You know how prep schools are. I'm sorry girls." Slowly, she released Twinkleshine, then pulled out her contacts, and placed them in their container, before pulling her glasses case. She remembered when her parents first got her this pair, and she had to beg them to buy her a set of contacts instead. As she slowly walked away, Moondancer pulled her into a hug once more, "Don't forget us, will you Midnight?" She chuckled softly, "Why would I ever forget my best friends?" Slowly, Twilight gasped, and opened her eyes, and saw her contact lenses, the case open, and one of them already on her fingertips. She exhaled slowly, before putting them back and slipping them into her bag. She got so lost in thought, she didn't even realize that when he opened the door, all her friends are right there, not until she smacked face-first into Sunset's chest. "Twilight," Sunset said with a raised eyebrow. "Hehe, yeah girls?" She said, swallowing the saliva in her throat. Before any of the girls can answer, Sunset grabbed her arm, and her eyes flashed white, before turning back to their normal color. "Yeah, it was her." "Wait, what was me?" Twilight said, her breath slightly quickening. Before Sunset can explain, Pinkie beat her to the punch, "WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TELL ME YOU THREW PARTIES IN MIDDLE SCHOOL?!?!?!" "Wait! Who told you that?!?!" Twilight asked, her hands grabbing the hem of Pinkie's shirt and pulling her up to her face. "Darling, I'm all for having parties, but not with the amount of booze you had..." Rarity replied sheepishly. "Yea, and I thought' ahm the beer girl here, sugarcube, but you'd drink Big Mac under the table!" Applejack replied with a grin. "Everybody, stop, NOW!" Twilight yelled, getting the attention of all of her friends. "Now, who the hell told you about Middle School?" Twilight seethed. Suddenly, everyone slowly turned their way to Fluttershy, the pink-hair girl just being noticed by Twilight just now. "Meep!" *Flashback to about 10 minutes ago* Fluttershy didn't know what time it was. It was a vice of hers, she knows. Once she started watching Haytube, there was little else other than her parents or sleep that would stop her. Videos upon videos flew by on the screen, and yet Fluttershy kept watching. Currently, she had been binging a series of party videos that she and Pinkie were watching, said girl having stepped out to get some popcorn. As she aimlessly continued watching Haytube, her eyes fell on a recommended video for her, "CSGI 7th-grade graduation party at Sparkles!!" She blinked, her brain trying to comprehend this discovery. "It can't be... But there isn't another Sparkle..." Fluttershy whispered to herself. Slowly, her hands left the cocoon of blankets she was under to go and select the video... *Party Scene involving a younger Twilight Sparkle that I can't write**Use your imagination, but make it like a stereotypical frat house party* Fluttershy tried to process what she just saw. She knew everyone had a secret that should never get out, hers involving some dogs at the animal shelter, but she didn't know how bad Twilight's was until...now. "Pinkie Pie," She called to the bouncing girl coming up the stairs, "Call the girls, and find where Twilight is." *Back to the present* ... ... Sunset swore she could hear the hearts beating in her friends with how quiet it was. Nobody made a move until Twilight did: "Aww fuck me." She facepalmed, then went into the bathroom. A string of curses can be heard from inside it, before she walked out, looking completely different. Her glasses were gone, replaced by a pair of cyan contact lenses. Her hair was let down, in a similar matter to how her pony-counterpart had it. She had a distinctive amount of blush applied to her, evident by her not wearing any sort of makeup for the better part of a year. She kept her shirt, yet wore a purple coat over it. She had a pair of ripped jeans with a gd amount of use to them. If she closed her eyes, Sunset could almost imagine this as the Twilight version of Sunset before the Fall Formal. Twilight pushed past all of the girls, who naturally began bombarding her with questions, and made her way to the room's exit, and into the kitchen. "Alright, first I'm going to start drinking," Twilight said through clenched teeth, already making her way downstairs, "Then I'll let Midnight explain what the fuck is going on." Author's Note I'll be honest, I had no idea what I was getting at here. I just took an idea and started writing, and before you know it, I've been writing for 5 hours straight. This was originally going to be a one-shot, like The real Rarity, which gave me this idea, except I got into the whole Moondancer and Twinkleshine thing and realized I'm making another series, aren't I? Don't worry, this won't interfere with To Forgive Or Forget, although the greater emphasis on editing and proper writing will be put on To Forgive Or Forget because that was planned, and this will just be what can be chalked up to 'free-writing'. What the heck is CSGI?Give her all the paper in the world, and a full year, and Rarity still wouldn’t have enough time or space to write what was wrong with the scene she was watching. Of course, everyone had their own little secret, no less of a shortage herself. I mean, Coco Pommel’s dresses were nice, but she wasn’t about to let them overshine her dresses at the fashion show. A little snip, some stains there, and she knew Coco would rather miss the show entirely rather than show off what remained of her dress. You know, a harmless little secret. However, when she and the rest of her friends came up to Pinkie’s bedroom to see what Fluttershy had found, this escaped the level of ‘harmless little secret’ by about 17 times. The video seemed harmless enough, ‘CSGI 7th-grade Graduation day at Sparkles’ it was titled. Rarity didn’t think too much about the title, she just wanted to head to bed already, but it was what was in it that made her begin to perk up. The camera was apparently showing what seemed to be a frat house party, but 7th-grade style. Where you’d find Jack Daniel bottles were replaced with Bud Light. Strip poker was just poker, and where you’d see couples going in and out of bedrooms or bathrooms, you’d just see kissing and making out in public. On one wall, the words ‘Get lost, Mrs. Abernagi!! and Screw 7th grade! were spray-painted on the wall. Even still, this was hardcore comparable to what Rarity (And apparently the rest of her friends) remember of their middle school experience. Rarity remembered the times where gossip would spread all around the lunchroom table about how someone cheated on a test, or 2 people used the upstairs bathroom to make out. The ‘illegal contraband’ they brought into school was gum or Ponymon cards, nothing like the alcohol that was present in the video. Rarity thought the most hardcore thing she saw in middle school was when Rainbow copped a feel on her, but that was quickly dashed right now when she saw two girls running into a room, one of them already taking her shirt off. “Fluttershy, darling, what are you trying to prove by showing us this?” “Shhhh!” Pinkie shushed her, putting one finger to her lips, “This is the part we wanted to show you, girls.” Rarity didn’t understand what was going on. In the current scene, it was a Spin the Bottle game, and two of the girls were making out, while a third snapped a quick photo of them. When they separated, Pinkie brought to her attention to one of the girls that were making out. At first, she thought nothing of it, before she saw the hairstyle. Long, chest-long hair. Smooth, no curls. There seems to be a streak of purple running through it. It looks almost like... “Wai’ a darn minute!” Applejack yelled, seemingly coming to the same conclusion. Her eyes kept darting between the girl in the video, who was now making out with the camera holder, and the title. “Tha’ can’t possibly be...” “We didn’t want to believe it as well,” Fluttershy spoke up. “But it becomes quite obvious around-” ” Alright, your turn Sparkle.” One of the girls in the video called out. “...now,” Fluttershy said with a sigh. She paused the video, then went to another tab, this one showing off the pdf of a school yearbook. In it, under the Superlative ‘Best Party Planners’ was a trio, Moondancer Dusk, Twinkeshine Evening, “...and Twilight Sparkle.” Rainbow finished for her. In silence, all the girls stood for about 17 seconds, Rarity counted, before Sunset asked the one question on everyone’s mind, “What the hell is CSGI?” “CSGI,” Twilight said with a chuckle, “Cambridge School for Gifted Individuals.” All the girls were in the kitchen, on the other side of the kitchen island, while Twilight was on the other side, next to the fridge. Said girl was mumbling to herself about how Pinkie didn’t have ‘any decent liquor’ before settling on some sparkling water in the back. She cracked it open and took a long swig of the carbonated drink before continuing. “Alright, 3 *hic* rules,” Twilight said with a hiccup, “One, say anything about this to anyone else, and I’m going to steal your geodes.” She took another swig before continuing, “Two, in any circumstances, when I’m dressed or acting like this, it’s Midnight, not Twilight. You hear me?” She waited until all the girls agreed, “and Three,” She faced Pinkie, “No, I’m not going to help you set up parties. Unless they’re large scale ones with booze, girls, and some gambling.” “Alright,” Rainbow said, stopping Twilight from saying anything else, “Let’s begin this now. Who are you?” “That depends, are you talking about the girl from Cambridge or Crystal Prep?” She pointed at Rainbow with her bottle. “Both are the same, are they not?” Rarity asked. Twilight laughed at that. “I’m Midnight Sparkle, the girl from Cambridge. Voted ‘Best Party Planner’ of 2014 in my grade.” She then tied her hair back and put the glasses on, “I’m Twilight Sparkle, the girl from Crystal Prep, who was the top of her school in every subject (Besides gym). You see the difference?” The girls were, understandably, quite concerned about this. One moment, the girl in front of them was a stranger from the East Coast, a drinker with a bad-girl attitude, and who looked like if she saw anything sparkly she might throw up. The next, she was their good old friend Twilight, the dork nerd from Crystal Prep who always had a book and something to talk about that was related to science or math or whatever else. “Um, if it’s alright with you, Midnight,” Sunset swallowed the lump in her throat, “I think we’d all rather talk to Twilight instead.” “Eh, your loss,” she grinned, before downing the rest of the bottle and putting on the glasses again. “Wow, that’s a trip. Hey girls.” She said with a small smile. “Alright, sugarcube, what ‘n tarnation was that?” Applejack drawled out, her face showing a look of worry and confusion. “Arrgh, Midnight got out didn’t she?” Twilight pinched the bridge of her nose. “ *Hrmpf* Sit down, this will be a story.” When all the girls pulled up in stools, she began. “I’m not a native to Canterlot City. I’m not even a native of California.” She paused, grabbing a glass of water before continuing. “You know how I was bullied in Crystal Prep for being better than everyone else there?” There was a murmur of agreement in the group. “That’s partially true. I indeed was bullied for being better than my peers, but it stemmed farther than Crystal Prep.” She brought out a data tablet to prove her point. “This is a stereotype chart of the entire country. As you see, California is more well known for ‘surfer dudes’ and ‘Hollywood’ and ‘fraternity collages’ than its academic level. Perks of too many 2000s movies.” She passed the tablet to Fluttershy, before continuing. “All of the Ivy League schools, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, UP, Princeton, and Yale, and much of the well-known prep schools in the country are all stationed around basically the Northeast.” “Like CSGI,” Sunset said, showing the tablet which displayed the most well-known prep schools in the country. “Like CSGI. So, imagine the student's surprise in Crystal Prep when a girl from CSGI, from the area of some of their dream schools, comes in and obliterates their school acceptance exams and any records before them.” “I didn’t mean to break the acceptance exam’s record. I had thought it was a simple evaluation test.” She sighed. “If I had known it was an acceptance exam, and that the score would be public knowledge, I would have done the bare minimum to pass it.” She stifled a laugh, “Suddenly, I was the social outcast. You’d think everyone would want to be friends with the smartest girl in the school, but they didn’t see it like that. They saw me as an unknown variable, the competition.” She said through clenched teeth. “I became withdrawn, shy, reserved. Anytime I tried to make friends, they’d shove me off and make some quip about how I was going to break yet another record of the school’s.” “Why, that’s a horrible reason to push someone away, darling!” Rarity said, shocked. “Yeah, but it was Crystal Prep.” She grabbed one of the alcoholic bottles Sunset and Applejack got. “Now, I’ll let Midnight explain who she is, just don’t freak out over her. She doesn’t take well to that.” She chugged the bottle, then promptly passed out on the countertop. Everyone believed the girl had passed out before she woke up with a startle. She looked at them and smiled with a grin before she let down Twilight’s hair once more and put back the contacts, “So, you’re the Rainbooms?” “Um, yeah! And who are you, egghead?” Rainbow yelled accusingly at the girl that used to be Twilight. She laughed out loud, “I’m Midnight, Midnight Sparkle.” When all the girl’s stepped back in recoil, she rolled her eyes. “Oh, please, that Midnight was the equivalent of a parasite with us. *Tsk* Couldn’t even make up an original name. Anyways, before you ask, no, I’m not a byproduct of the magic. If anything, I would have stopped the magic from being released if I was in control at the time.” She growled as a familiar face popped up in her head, “Stupid fucking Cinch and her fucking reputation.” She downed more of the alcoholic drink, before continuing. “Anyways, no, this isn’t a case of Multiple Personality Disorder, heaven knows Twilight ran enough tests to prove that.” She stifled another laugh, “You can say it’s more a form of a...change of personality.” “An’ wut ‘n tarnation is that supposed to mean!?” Applejack yelled in a more threatening tone than she wanted. “Slow down, hayseed,” Twilight grinned, “if you want to make me scream, take me to dinner first okay?” She laughed, while the farmer had a blush creeping on her face. Twilight downed the rest of the bottle before continuing. “Technically, I’m both Midnight and Twilight at the same time, just with a different personality. And NO, Sunset,” The scientist shot a glance to the former-pony before she can ask her question, “That is NOT a case of Multiple Personality Disorder. In MPD, the subject doesn’t remember what happened under the influence of the other personality, and often times feels like their possessed instead of being in control. As you can see, I have full memory of my time as Twilight.” “Well, how do we know you aren’t lying?!” Rainbow Dash yelled in a similar tone to Applejack. Twilight rolled her eyes, then walked over to Rainbow and whispered something in her ear. Immediately, her face becomes flushed and blushing, and Twilight grinned while she walked back to her seat. When she was met with curious looks, she said, “I just told her an embarrassing moment between her and Twilight that no body else could know.” She grinned, grabbed another bottle, and continued, “As far as I can tell, I’m in control of both Twilight and Midnight, and I have the memories of both sides. I did some tests of this back in CSGI, and determined that it untimantly came down...to booze.” “Booze?” Sunset deadpanned. “Yeah,” Twilight smiled, “When I’m intoxicated, I as Midnight would come out. In the past, Midnight would also come out when I was happy since the majority of time me being happy was due to the things that Midnight did.” She took another swig, “The only reason why Midnight doesn’t come out when I’m with you girls now is that hanging out with you girls is Twilight’s happiness, not Midnight’s.” “So, if you hung out with us, you’d most likely come as Twilight?” Fluttershy questioned. Twilight nodded, “And if I was hanging out with my girls from CSGI, or became intoxicated, I’d probably slip into,” she gestured to herself, “Midnight.” She took another swig, then went into her bag and pulled out a vial and a needle. “That’s the entire reason I’m always cautious of the alcohol when I’m with you girls.” She took the needle, pulled the liquid from the vial, and injected herself with it. To the looks of her friend's shocked faces, she just smiled, “Alcohol cure, designed to destroy any alcohol inside my bloodstream. Made it specifically in case I ended up drinking again and had to stop Midnight from coming out.” She let out a content ahhhhh before she stood up, took off her contacts, and put her hair back into a ponytail. Soon after she came back looking like that, all the girls pounced on her with glee. “Twilight! You’re back!” Pinkie exclaimed. She chuckled at that, “You know I never left, right Pinkie?” “I know, but You you is back!” She smiled with glee, before pulling her friend into a hug. “Darling, that other you is quite dreadful!” Rarity exclaimed, “However did you deal with her?” She grinned sheepishly, “I didn’t. Me as Twilight Sparkle, the ‘nerd’ didn’t come until Crystal Prep. Midnight took over most of the time in CSGI.” Sunset chuckled, “Well, let’s head to bed. And Applejack?” Said girl looked at her, “Make sure from now on, leave the booze faarrr away from Twilight, will yeah?” “Heh, you got it Sunset.” “So, Pinkie,” Twilight turned to the party planning girl, who perked up, “Did you say anything about parties?” She nodded, “But you said that Midnight threw the parties?” She laughed, “I said she threw the large parties, with booze and everything. Never said I couldn’t throw parties.” Pinkie Pie’s face lit up, “I know just what we can do!” She grinned. Canterlot International Airport* “Next!” “Alright, alright, I’m coming!” The girl showed her ticket and her bag to the customs official. “Why do we gotta go through Customs again?” “While you are citizens of USE (United States of Equestria), you did come from Gallopermeny, so we still have to check your stuff, ma’am.” While the official checks each of the 5 girl's bags, another came up, holding a checklist. “Are you girls the transfer students to Canterlot High School?” A chorus of agreements rang out from the crowd. “Good. I was ordered to give you your schedules, your keys to your apartment, and a letter from the Principle.” He handed said objects to the four girl group, before leaving. “Alright, alright girls. I’m going to call your names out, and give you your stuff.” “Why you gotta be the one, Lemon?” “Because, Twinkle, she has our stuff?” “Nobody asked for your opinion, Minu!” “Alright, girls, stop fighting!” The 4th girl called from behind them, just passing the customs official. “We can bicker at the apartment, not in public.” “Like you know about keeping your cool in public, Moonie.” Lemon sneered. “C’mon girls!” Twinkle called out, “New school, new us, nothing can go wrong now!” “Yeah!” Minu called out, “Let’s show this town what CSGI students can do!” Author's Note Alright, I should probably go back to updating To Forgive or Forget now. Also yes, Twilights original friends from Canterlot in the show, Lemon Heart, Minuette, Twinkleshine, and Moondancer are the transfer student girls in the end paragraph, in case that wasn’t obvious. Ghost of Party Past“...no,” Twilight announced vehemently, “No, No, NO!” She took off, sprinting in the other direction. “Um, anyone knows what her deal was?” The pink-haired girl spun around to face us. “I mean, I know I’m dashing, but I didn’t expect another girl to run from my looks." She grinned, before earning a backhand to her head by her red-haired friend. “Owww, what was that for Moonie?!” “For pissing off the first girls we met in this school, you twat!” ‘Moonie’ yelled at her friend. “I swear to god, Twinkleshine, you’re like a walking asshole machine to every newbie we meet!” “Hey, lay off her, Moonie,” A lightning-blue-haired girl called behind them, dragging her dark-blue-haired girl behind her, “It’s not her fault if she’s naturally a bastard.” She grinned. “Oi! Lemon!” ‘Twinkleshine’ called out, “I’m going to spike your punch with alcohol the next party you throw!” “Go ahead,” ‘Lemon’ called, “I’ve been doing that since our 6th grade Spring Fling party!” She tossed a hearty chuckle as the girl named ‘Moonie’ spanked her on the back of her ass, eliciting a moan and a yelp from the girl. “Ooh, getting kinky are we now, Moonie?” She flashed a grin at the red-head, as they facepalmed. All the Rainbooms were shocked at the casual talk of these girls, and a few of them began to question how they even got here in the first place. Approximently 2 minutes earlier “So, how’s your other you at sports, Twi?” Rainbow asked, a grin sitting on her face. “Rainbow, for the last time,” Twilight rolled her eyes, “I don’t know. Back in CSGI, there wasn’t much for sports for girls.” “No girl teams?” Sunset asked, bewildered, “But why? Wouldn’t that look bad for the school?” “It did,” Twilight replied, “Everyone believed that the school faculty was sexist until they showed the profits they gained from a boy-teams match vs a girl-teams match. The drop was almost 67% in attendance from the boy-to-girl match. The data showed that it was financially poor for pumping money into a failing team when they can pull the funding and put it into something else, like a new science wing they were building.” “Wow,” Pinkie called behind them, “That’s really poor for the girl teams.” “Yeah,” Twilight sighed, “They put up a fight, but had to concede when the faculty told them that they’d already sent it to the board, and got permission to cut their funding.” “But still,” Twilight looked at Rainbow, “I don’t think me as Midnight would mind if I was to play some sports in our free time. Although I might be a bit more...liberal in my words, Rainbow.” “Oh please, egghead,” Rainbow laughed, “As if you could ever swear.” Twilight’s eyes narrowed. “Keep that up, fucker,” Twilight seethed, “And I’ll be making you say uncle before lunch.” Everyone blinked, their eyes going wide as they heard their nerdy friend swear so casually in school. “What?” Twilight pushed up her glasses, “Just because I’m not acting as Midnight doesn’t mean I can’t do what she does.” “Nevermind,” Sunset interjected, stopping Rainbow from retorting, “Let's go, we have to head to the front of the school.” “Do tell, darling” Rarity butted in, “Why do you need to go to the front again?” “Eh, some new kids came in over the weekend, I’m supposed to be showing them around. Ah, that must be them.” Sunset gestured to a group of girls talking, garnering the attention of one pink-haired girl. “Ah, are you girls the welcoming committee?” She walked up to them, sticking her hand out. “Hi! My name is Twinkleshine!” As she began greeting the rest of the girls, Twilight’s eyes went wide. “...no.” Present As the three girls started yelling amongst themselves, the dark-haired girl facepalmed, before waking over to the Rainbooms.”I’m so sorry for my asshole friends, can we try introductions again?” Rainbow flashed a grin at the girl, before sticking her hand out for the other girl to shake. “Pleasure to meet you all,” She said in a cocky voice, “My name is Rainbow Dash, and we’re the Rainbooms.” “Oh! You're the Rainbooms!” She girl jumped in shock, before grinning like a little girl and stuck her hand out, “I’m such a huge fan! My name is Minuette!” She grabbed Rainbow’s hand with earnest and shook it with vigor. “Wwwoooooaahhh!” Rainbow shuddered with the strength of this girl’s handshake. Her hand had the grip of vice on her, “Heh, didn’t know you were a fan.” She smiled weakly, as she massaged her hand. “Oh, totally!” Minuette squealed, “Back in CSGI, we had an entire fan club dedicated to you girls.” “Oh, were you the ones that sent the cake and the uniforms?” Pinkie said excitedly, jumping to the front of the group. “Yeah! Did’ja like them?” Minuette asked with some excitement. “Very much,” Fluttershy said, “We had no clue why you asked us to heat it up before eating it, but the lava chocolate in the center was a nice touch.” As the Rainbooms continued talking with Minuette, something clicked in Sunset’s head. “Wait, wait, wait, back up. Did you say CSGI’?” Minuette cocked her head sideways, “Yeah, Cambridge School for Gifted Individuals, why do you ask?” A flash of panic flew through the rest of the Rainbooms, as they realized exactly who they just met. "Wut 'n tarnation," Applejack exclaimed, "You girls can't be..." "Excuse me, darling," Rarity butted in, bringing Minuette's attention to the fashionista, "Hate to interrupt, but what's the name of you and your friends again?" She batted her eyelashes innocently. "Oh! My name is Minuette Hall," She looked at the rest of the Rainbooms "I know, weird last name. My pink-haired friend," She pointed to the girl, currently in a chokehold, "is Twink-" "Twinkleshine Evening." Fluttershy blurted out, before covering her mouth. "...yeah," Minuette replied, obviously confused. "Anyways, the girl giving her a chokehold is LemonHeart Gumdrops, and my redhead friend trying to stop them is Moondancer Dusk." "Um, alright," Pinkie said, bouncing up to the girl, "My name is Pinkie Pie," She exclaimed, sticking her hand out for the girl to shake, "This is Fluttershy Naturemind," She gestured to the failing-to-hide-behind-Sunset's-hair girl, "Rarity Gemstones," said girl took Minuettes hand with earnest, "Rainbow 'Dash' Lightbeam," Rainbow cringed at the use of her full name, "Sunset Shimmer," Sunset waved at Minuette, "and Jacqueline Apple," Pinkie smiled with glee, while Applejack tried to hide behind her stetson, "Although to keep it from sounding too Prench, she goes by Applejack." "It's so very nice to meet you all, "Minuette shook with glee, "but where's your other friend?" Sweat beads began to form on Sunset's and the rest of the Rainbooms foreheads, "What other friend?" She asked nervously. "The one that ran from Twinkleshine," Minuette cocked her head. "I never got a good glimpse at her face." "Ah, her," Applejack said, trying to keep a knowing face from forming on hers, "Her..." "Her name..." Rarity tried, "Is..." BBBRRRRIIINNNGGGG 'Oh, saved by the bell,' Sunset thought. "Listen, we're really sorry, it seems we've kinda extended our time to show you girls around. " She took Minuette's hand, "We have Study Hall after this class, we can show you around then." "...Alright then," Minuette said nervously, "Girls, let's go, we got class!" Next class Sunset didn't like this. She knew the risks of having Twilight's identity exposed to her former friends, but she knew that one way or another, the truth would come out. "Hey, Sunset!" Minuette called to her, pulling up behind her. "The rest of the girls are with your other friends, and they sent me to find you." "O-oh, alright," Sunset said nervously, "Let's go." The two of them began a slow walk to the Gym, which was always the first stop for showing new kids around. As they walked, Minuette kept pressuring her about the 'Mystery Girl'. "Sooo..." Minuette began, before yelping in surprise as Sunset slammed her hands on a nearby locker, warmth seething through her. "Listen, Minuette," Sunset began, "I know you want to know who she is, but she specifically asked me not to let you girl meet her. Please try to understand that." "I know that," Minuette sighed, "But it's getting annoying having to hear the same answer of 'Sorry' or 'I can't help you.' " She slumped on a bench, "I just don't like secrets being held against me." "Look, Minuette," Sunset let out a sigh herself, "I...might be able to tell you," Minuette's eyes shot up with glee, "But you have to understand the repercussions of me telling you." She grabbed her arm, putting it in an arm lock with her own. "My friend told me and my friends a secret about her, "Sunset began, "And we were sworn to secrecy about it, on the threat she'd steal our wallets. Harmless jokes, but you get the idea." She began to grip Minuette's arm even harder. "I am only even considering telling you this because I don't want you to think this entire school is shit based on your 'Welcome' tour, and because I think you're nice." She smiled. "Really, you think so?" Minuette asked. "Minuette, your friend Moondancer looked like she couldn't do anything physical if her life depended on it, and your friends LemonHeart and Twinkleshine tried to choke each other outside, and yet you were the only person to try and strike a friendly conversation. I learned a long time ago to trust in other people, and I'm trusting you, do you understand?" Minuette looked into Sunset's cyan eyes, a steely look coming from her own, "Yes." "Good, then follow me." The two of them walked together, Sunset choosing a specific route that didn't go past any academic award booths or anything mentioning their group members' names. They eventually stopped in front of a Study Room on the second floor. "Now, are you sure that you want to hear this?" Sunset asked Minuette one more time. "Yes," Minuette answered, "I want to know why this is such a big secret." Steeling her resolve, Sunset opened the door, startling the lone occupant inside. Before she could say anything, Sunset walked up to her and put a finger on her lips. "You knew this would have to come once you saw them, I'm just trying to make it easier." The girl had panicked eyes darting around the room, eventually coming to rest on Minuette's eyes. She breathed slowly, before staring Sunset dead in the eyes and nodding slowly. She took the finger off her lips and brought them to Sunset's ears, "Please tell me you know what you're doing..." Sunset nodded, "I know it," before letting the girl surrender herself to Sunset's embrace, and letting her hair flow down, and for her glasses to slip off her face. She took a long deep breath, before swiveling around and facing Minuette, whose faces began to turn into one of recognition and shock. "...T-Twilight?" She chuckled softly, "Long time no see Minuette." Author's Note 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 Who wants some popcorn? Just to reiterate to anyone that didn't read my other book (To Forgive or Forget), I am working on an alternating schedule w/ this story, To Forgive or Forget, and a currently un-named third book I am working on. Also, am I the only one, or is anyone else bored out of their mind because they don't like Pony Life and are just waiting for either the next (and probably final) Equestria Girls Movie, or for the Gen 5 series to come out? Man, I feel old. I still remember the news that there was a My Little Pony movie waaayyyy back in 2013, I remember talking with this girl *space* friend of mine about it, and I remember when it first dropped on Netflix and I was so pumped up! And, now it's not there anymore Also, the stats I mentioned weren't faked. According to this website, the average attendance rate for a WNBA game is only about 1/3 that of an NBA game. The average viewership would be even less. The last point, I should have fleshed out the initial meeting with the CSGI girls longer, as well as Minuette's meeting with Twilight, but I don't have time because I have a project I need to finish. If I find you would like me to, I'll go and post a re-write of this chapter and the meeting Also, why Minuette and not Moondancer? Because Moondancer has a larger part to play in future chapters and the future part requires her to meet Twilight last. Also, I just liked Minuette and how she was portrayed in the show, that's why I put emphasis on using her instead Revelations : MinuetteMinuette was tired. She tries not to show it, but she was always tired on the inside. Being what people say "The only sane person in her friend group" has its drawbacks. Every day, whenever her friends got into fights or made scenes - and they always had one Every. Single. Day - it fell upon her to try and sort everything out. Her best example was back during their Washington D.C field trip in 8th grade. Without her to wrangle the friend group in, that task fell upon Minuette to make sure they followed the instructions. It was equally known that their friend group was the most...energetic in the entire school, On or off-campus, and she was supposed to make sure that they all behaved on one of the most well-known trips in their entire lives? Good Luck With That It was supposed to be a nice field trip. She had gotten Lemon to agree to be on her best behavior on the trip, she strong-armed Moonie by blackmailing her as being the perpetrator of the fire that nearly took down their newly built science wing, and she 'paid' Twinkle later that night, and she prayed that that was all she needed to get them to listen. Murphy disagreed. She didn't remember, but it was somewhere between spiking all the drinks at their hotel's dining hall and lacing the teacher's beds with itching powder - On DAY ONE no less - did she give up all forms of sanity and joined them in their debauchery. 20/20 hindsight, she shouldn't have given them the spray paint and told them to go nuts on the city, as only 6 hours later did the news go on that some girls broke into Lincoln Memorial and drew several dongs on Lincoln's seat. 20/20 hindsight, she shouldn't have spiked the soda and joined them either. Lemon called it the 'best thing ever on this lame-ass trip' while they were in jail, while Moonie and Twinkle had already prepared 4 different ways to break themselves out of jail before they could be identified and their teacher called up to the station. Minuette...just sat there as they seduced the guards, before knocking them out, nabbing his key, and making off with the security tap of them being brought in. Minuette was tired, and there was only one person that understood her pain. Her Her, with her no-nonsense attitude that could stop any plans Twinkle had. Her, with her thousand-mile stare that stopped Lemon from cracking any more sexual jokes or any more pranks. And her spontaneity, that helped each of them from temporarily stopping their pranking addiction long enough to study for Quarterly and Quizzes and let them hold the title of Best Students of the School. Her, with her waving ponytail, and her magenta streaks that made your knees wobble and twist. Her, with her punk rock attitude that, like a lightbulb, can turn into a kind and loving gesture and smile. Her, the girl that was the leader of their group, the winner of the school's Spring Fling Dance, and still on the Honor Roll of the school. Twilight 'Midnight' Sparkle. The same Twilight 'Midnight' Sparkle, that stood in front of her right now, in a baby blue skirt and a striped, collared shirt that, had she been back in CSGI, she'd have called 'tacky', 'babyish', and would have taken her fathers bottle of Jack Danials, dumped half of the thing on the shirt - The rest she'd drink - and light it on fire. The same Twilight 'Midnight' Sparkle, that gave her a tearful glance reminiscent of a Husband and Wife reuniting in those cliche 2000's romance movies. That made her regret leaving them for close to 2 1/2 years. "TWILIGHT!" She ran into the girl's open arms, and they sobbed and laughed, and cried in a loving embrace. At least until Sunset coughed, bringing them back to reality, and pointed at a hand clock on the wall saying that it was 5 minutes to lunchtime. "How about we take this to the roof instead, shall we?" Sunset said. Author's Note Yes, this is short. Do I have a decent excuse? Nope, I procrastinated. To make up for this, I'll promise to pump out another chapter alongside Right Back Where We Started next week. How will you know I'll do this? Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a cupcake in my eye. *Pinkie jumps in* This Pinkie Promise has been certified, approved, and will be held up by the power of Me and Fourth Wall breaks! Also, I get the sex tags haven't been put in. Should I, considering I'm just talking about the act, and not actually doing said act? I dunno, you tell me. Last point, next chapter, I'm going to start OOCing Twilight into her Midnight personality. What does this mean? Initially, it'll just be spray painting and making mild suggestive jokes. Later, we'll get into parties, spiked drinks, and possibly sex? Aw hell, we're doing this now?Technically, the upper roof of Canterlot High isn't meant to be accessed by anyone besides the janitor for him to clear it off. Technicalities never stopped Sunset or Minuette, or Twilight. "Alright, before we catch up on what you guys been doing for the past 2 1/2 years," Sunset began, running a comb through her hair and pulling out all the knots, "How did both of you pick that lock?" She eyed the two suspiciously. "Well..." Minuette said sheepishly. "Let's just say not all of the liquor we got in CSGI for our parties was acquired legally." Twilight finished for her. Sunset stared, dumbfounded at her bookish friend. "Sunset, are you okay?" Minuette said, feeling pity for her new friend. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." Sunset put up a small smile, "Just, never expected to hear those words from Twilight." "You mean Midnight?" Minuette said. "I go by Twilight here, Minuette," Twilight said, pulling a sandwich from her bag. "Easier to go by your real name when you're not one of the most wanted teens in the town." Sunset looked mildly shocked at that before Twilight rolled her eyes and pulled Sunset towards her. "Sunset, look at me," She said with a tone of assertiveness, "I get I may have done some stuff you girls wouldn't exactly agree with in the past, but I've changed. I won't go back to that again, alright?" "Yeah, yeah," Sunset rubbed the back of her head in an awkward manner, "You just remind me a lot of what I used to do in the past, and I don't want you doing the same thing Twilight." "I won't, I promise." She smiled, before giving Sunset $20. "Now, by any chance could you get us some lunch from the cafeteria?" "Yeah, sure," Sunset smiled, "I'll leave you two alone for now." As she descended the steps to the school building, Minuette turned to face her, "You never acted like that to us, Mid-Twilight." She said with a hint of sadness. Heartbroken that her old friend was thinking that way, she went over to comfort her. "Look, Minuette..." She pulled her into a hug, "I was a different person back then, alright? I was brash, and arrogant with you girls. Here, I've learned to take things slower, and at a much nicer pace than what we did in CSGI." "I know, Twilight, I know," Minuette said, before looking into Twilight's eyes, who nodded back to her before she dug her head into the girl's shoulder. "Oh TWILIGHT!" She sobbed. "We all missed you so much." She continued sobbing into her old friend, who tried to comfort her. "I know, I'm so sorry I left you girls," Twilight said, bringing her friend to face her. "I promise, I won't leave you again." She sniffled, before bringing her face to Twilight once more, "Thanks, Twily, I missed you." "I missed you too, Minuette." They smiled. "So, you girls did making out with each other?" A voice sneered from the entrance. Both girls recoiled back before their faces turned into a face of amusement. "Haha, very funny Sunset." Twilight deadpanned, taking the lunch bags from her friend's grasp, before handing off one to Minuette. "Oh, chicken parmesan!" Sunset flinched at the word 'chicken' before Minuette understood what she came from. "Oh, you're vegan, aren't you?" "Vegetarian, technically," Sunset corrected her, "A vegan doesn't eat dairy products, and my best friend makes me a cupcake to go every day." "Oh, they must be nice girls," Minuette said, scarfing down the sandwich. "Yeah, they really are." Sunset said, "They're the ones who saved me and Twilight, you know?" Twilight recoiled, and Sunset figured out what she said, and slapped a hand over her mouth. "What do you mean, saved?" Minuette raised an eyebrow. Sunset sighed, "I used to be the Head Bitch In Charge at CHS, they're the ones who showed me the wrong I did, and who helped me redeem myself." "I mean, that makes sense for you," Minuette said, "But what about Twilight? If she's everything she said she was, I have high doubts she would try and take over the school." "It was...an accident," Twilight sighed, "A dumb one at that." "Oh? Do tell me." Minuette said. "Well, I actually didn't come here to CHS when I moved from CSGI." Twilight began, "I actually moved to the prep school uptown, Crystal Prep." "Oh damn, a prep school?" Minuette said shocked. "Yep." Twilight deadpanned, "Mom and Dad made me sign up when they caught wind of what we've been doing in the past." "Oh, crap." Minuette said, "If I knew, I'd have stopped us all immediately." "Yeah, they kept it low-key until they could find some evidence to prove what I've been doing. Anyways, they sent me there to make me stop partying. And I guess it worked?" "What do you mean guessed?" Sunset said, scarfing down the salad she brought for herself. "Well, instead of just stopping me from partying, it totally stamped out any fun I had at the school." "HOW?" Minuette said, angrily, 'Tell me who did it, and I'll make them rue the day they were born." "Long explanation, ask me when lunch isn't going to be over in 5 minutes." "Speaking of lunch ending, don't you have class after this, Sunset?" Twilight said, "I mean, me and Minuette have a free period now, so we can spend some time up here." "I do as well." Sunset smiled. "Wait, what?" Twilight's eyebrow raised, "I thought you had Economics with Applejack?" "I did, but Principle Celestia swapped my schedule for this semester to line up with Minuette's to help her settle in." "Oh, that's nice of her!" Twilight beamed. As Twilight got up to throw away her lunch, she tripped on something in Minuette's bag, "Damnit!" She swore as she fell. "Twilight, are you alright?!" Sunset said, going over to her friend. "I'm fine, just make sure I didn't sprain my ankle, would you?" Minuette went over to her friend's leg, and placed two fingers on her ankle, "Not sprained, but lay off any fast running for about an hour." "How do you know first aid?" Sunset asked. "She was our medic in CSGI," Twilight explained, pulling herself up. "Anytime one of us got hurt during parties or pranks, it fell to her to clean us up." When Sunset looked into Minuette's bag to find why Twilight tripped, she came across something that made her eyebrows raise. "Minuette," she asked slowly. "Yeah, Sunset?" "Why are there three cans of White Claw in your school bag?" "There are?!" SHe exclaimed, then ran up to her bag to confirm it, "Damnit Lemon, I could have been sent to detention for this!" "Who's Lemon?" Sunset asked Twilight, who was trying to walk again. "The supplier, basically." She said, "Anything we needed, it fell to her to get it." "Well, crap." Minuette said, "I'm fucking lucky that no one caught them, though I don't think my luck will hold through the afternoon." Twilight pondered this, while Sunset tried to help Minuette stuff the cans back into her bag. "I have an idea!" "What?" Sunset said. "We drink the cans!" Twilight exclaimed. "What." Sunset deadpanned. "Well, we can't have Minuette dragging the cans through the afternoon, someone can find them." Twilight exclaimed, "And since we have all drank beer at one point or another, we could probably hold the alcohol long enough till we get home." "Wait, I can get the two of you drinking, you did in fact spike your parties if Twinkleshine was anything to go off of," Sunset said, "But how do you know I drink beer?" "You don't do very well with disposing of the cans behind your apartment." Twilight deadpanned. The three of them pondered this. On one hand, they could not drink the cans, and Minuette has to handle the anxiety of harboring cans of beer through the second half of school. On the other, they all proved that they can handle alcohol, and the chances they are found out if they drink the cans are slim. Sunset was the first to crack open a can. As each of them drank their respective cans, the world began to slowly blur around them. Their minds began to think irrationally, as the world began to spin, and they all toppled over in a fit of giggles. There was laughter, and giggling, as the three of them slowly began to lose focus on the rest of the world, and it became just the three of them. It would be unknown to them later at what time, but at some point, there was a light hiss of another can, and they just let their minds draw to their heart's content. For unknown to them, the beer they all drank in the past was watered down, either through the punch, or through just plain water, and these cans were pure alcoholic beer. The three of them woke up the next day in Sunset's apartment. Head pounding, eyes bloodshot, and each of them begging for the sweet release of death. It wouldn't be until about 9 in the morning when Twilight would be able to drink some water and clear her head. Luckily, it was the weekend. Wait, the weekend? Twilight thought, but wasn't today supposed to be Friday? As each of them woke, the situation they were in cleared up. Their clothes were all strewn about, a bra there, some shirt on the couch, and the distinct smell of sex and paint thinner hung in the air. All of Sunset's glasses were filled with an unknown concoction, though it must be noted that the ingredients in her kitchen were the ones needed to make beer. Twilight's phone was cracked, Sunset's was missing, and Minuette's was stuffed about an inch down her privates. All of them were butt naked. As Twilight spoke, a sharp pain stung in her head, "Anyone knows what happened last night?" "No clue," Sunset said, "But I have a feeling it was nothing good." As she said this, she pointed to her TV, which was running on, and a Breaking News report showing the front of Canterlot High was on it. The school looked like a mess, with obscene drawings on its walls, and slurs for all people written on its sides. One of the windows was destroyed, and Minuette's bag was hanging from the horn of the new Wondercolt statue, itself having an obscene drawing on its underside. The headline? Three Teens suspected in the defamation of Canterlot High's front: "CSGI's Girls are back baby!" written on the statue base ... ... ... "Well, shitfucks." Twilight swore. Author's Note HAHAHAHAHA! You thought Sunset would be the nice girl huh?! You thought that she'd be the one to save Twilight from the road of debauchery she would go down? NOPE! The universal constant always puts these girls together, no matter WHAT! HAHAHAHAHA Now, I need to update the sex tag, as well as figure out how to bail these girls out of jail... Also, please tell me, how do you guys feel about me making ANOTHER story? I had this one idea bouncing in my head, and I think it'll be a good one if I can write it properly. Also, shameless plugin time GO CHECK OUT MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL Side-Shot: The Security Guard*Month-long Break* It's exactly what it sounds like. I'm going to stop working on this story for about a month. I have some obligations to another user to help them finish something, I have to add another chapter to To Forgive or Forget, and I have 3 different stories rattling in my head I need to get down on paper before I forget them. So yeah, I'll throw this on the back burner for about a month, then when I'm done cooking the other stories, I'll throw this story on the front again. Again, one month. I'm not going to forget this. Unlike other authors, I don't leave stories half-done (Yes, even Right Back Where We Started, I'll finish that, I promise) and I'll be back before you know it. Shameless shout out, follow me so you can read my other stories and check out my youtube channel. Yes, I have a youtube channel.
Ah, Middle School..."I'm BOOORRREEEDDDD!" Pinkie wailed. "We know Pinkie," Sunset said, staring up at the cotton-candy colored roof of her friend's house. "You said that 5 minutes ago, and five minutes before that, and five minutes before that..." "Yeah, I know Sunny," Pinkie replied, " but that was an extra-long Bored, it was even italicized and bolded!" "What 'n tarnation do you mean Pinkie?" Applejack said, her hat over her eyes as she laid on Pinkie's bed. "You know what, don' answer that, I'dun wanna know." The Rainbooms have been like this for the entire morning. While it was summer break, it was so hot that anything to do outside would immediately make you tired and wash out (Rainbow learning the hard way when she ran to the Boardwalk). Since Pinkie's room was the only one large enough for all of them that also had A.C (Sunset couldn't buy one, Applejack didn't need one, and Fluttershy "enjoyed the natural air."), they all decided to just crash in her room until it was cool enough. "Yo, Pink's," Rainbow called from the other side of the room, "How hot is it this time?" Pinkie pulled herself up long enough to check the temperature on her windowsill, "37 C, Rainbow." Pinkie called, before slumping down back into her rugged floor. "37??" Rainbow's eyes bugged out, "that's up 2 from an hour ago!" "Well, technically," Twilight began, looking up from her book, "Because it's the highest point in the sky, the noon sun is always the hottest, and because the way the Earth revolves on its axis..." "Yadda yadda yadda," Rainbow mocked Twilight with her hand, "I get how the sun works, Twi, I passed science after all!" "Yeah, with a C!" Rarity berated her, said girl filing her nails on the bed, "and even then, you tried to bribe me and Twilight to help you cheat on your test!" "Semantics, Rares," Rainbow shot back, now playing rock-paper-scissors with herself. "I passed, and that's all that matters." “Well, it’s not like we can even go and do anything.” Applejack remarked, this time sitting up. “Most shops closed up early cause it was too hot to get any work done.” “Well, why don’t we just watch something on Haytube,” Pinkie asked, already pulling it up on her laptop. “It’s not like we got anything else better to do.” A chorus of ‘sure’ and ‘why not’ rang from the friend group, except for their book-loving friend. “No thanks, I’d rather read this book.” “What’s that book even about Twilight?” Sunset raised an eyebrow. She took the book from her friend, and flipped to the front, “The Universe in a Nutshell: By Steven Hoovings? Twilight, isn’t this like collage masters-level kinds of stuff?” “I know, but it’s an interesting read. I especially liked how...” “I’m going to stop you right there Twi,” Rainbow said, putting her finger on their nerdy friend’s lips. “You're probably going to say something about atoms, quarks, or black holes, and we’re probably going to fall asleep listening to you about it.” “Only you Twi,” Applejack began, looking up from a video of a cat dancing to Nyan Cat, “can take anything fun or remotely interesting, and make it a snooze story.” “Yeah, I mean you’re the only gal I know, darling, to turn down going to Prom with a senior in favor of just studying at home.” Rarity quipped, also looking up from the dancing cat video. “Yeah, because I don’t have time for ‘parties’ or ‘dance’ or anything like that.” Twilight shot back. “I mean, honestly, Twilight,” Sunset began, “You got to loosen up a little. Maybe go out more, dress in something that doesn’t look like it came out of a prep school and Forever 21 mixing machine. Maybe even throw on some contacts.” “Hah!” Twilight snorted, “I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing contacts Sunset. They’re too itchy for my eyes.” “But I suppose,” Twilight sighed, “I guess I can stop reading every minute of my life, for now.” “Well, it’s at least a start, Twi. Now come on! There’s a video of a guy dancing in a banana suit on to of a Mcdonald's sign!” Rainbow called out, her eyes already back on Pinkie’s laptop. “Honestly, girls,” Twilight remarked, “What’s so good about a dancing banana?” *7 hours later* “I cannot believe we watched 7 hours of guys in banana costumes dancing.” Twilight facepalmed. “HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!” Pinkie kept laughing. For some odd reason, the pink-haired girl kept laughing at even the stalest of jokes and most mundane of gags in the videos. “Well, I’ll be,” Applejack said, looking at the clock. “It’s already at 7 o’clock. Hey Pinkie!” “Yeah Applejack?” The pink-haired girl turned to face her friend. “You think we can stay at your place for tonight?” “As long as everyone’s okay with it, I’m fine.” “Fabulous, darling, I shall get our sleeping bags.” Rarity said. “And I’m going to get the snacks!” Rainbow called out, before sprinting down the stairs. “I’m going to get the movies!” Pinkie called out as well, before following Rainbow. “Applejack and I will get the beer!” Sunset yelled, then ran down the stairs laughing before Twilight can berate her. “And how about you Fluttershy?” ... “Fluttershy?” Twilight turned around to see Fluttershy staring at the screen, the videos still on autoplay. She kept watching videos over and over, her eyes never leaving the screen. After 5 minutes of just watching the girl, Twilight just backed away, “Ummm...” “PARTY TIME!!!” Pinkie yelled before Twilight got a fist-full of confetti thrown in her face. *Several hours of games and baking that I don’t have time to type later* The impromptu party lasted for several hours. Surprisingly, no one (except Fluttershy, who was still watching Haytube) had retired to bed and everyone was still up. Currently, they were in a Truth-or-Dare game. “Alright, Pinks, Truth, or Dare?” Rainbow asked the party-planner. “Dare me, Dashie!” “I dare you...” Rainbow looked around, staring at each of her friends, before settling on one of them, “To pull Fluttershy out of watching Haytube.” Suddenly, the room goes quiet. Even Pinkie, who was usually up screaming all the time, floated mid-air as she contemplated this. Everyone knew how Fluttershy got when she was ‘in the zone.’ Twilight, who did not know what they meant, once tried to pry Fluttershy out of watching Haytube. They still haven’t fixed the dent in the wall Twilight made when she was thrown into it. “...alright, I guess.” Pinkie agreed, after a moment of hesitance. Everyone knew the punishment of not taking up one of Rainbow Dash’s dares, and they had all agreed Fluttershy was the better option. Pinkie slowly made her way to Fluttershy, “Umm, Fluttershy, do you think... you’ve been watching too much Haytube?” One second passed... Two seconds passed... On the third, Pinkie thought she was safe, before hearing Fluttershy turning her head, and gave her The Stare. “Alright, alright! Nevermind!” Pinkie quickly replied, before sitting back down. “Alright, Pinks, you know the rule if you don’t follow through in a dare.” She then scooted closer to Pinkie, and whispered, “But don’t worry, we’ll take care of it later.” She said with a sultry grin, before going back to her spot. Noticing that Pinkie was blushing, she quickly chose another person, “Twilight! Truth or Dare?” “Truth!” The purple-skinned girl answered a little too quickly. She wasn’t about to go anywhere near Fluttershy anytime soon. “Have you ever gone clubbing?” Rainbow asked with a grin. “WHAT? NO! We’re underaged Rainbow Dash!” Twilight screamed. “Yeah, I know, I just had to confirm it.” “But why did you even ask that question?” Twilight asked puzzled. “Because,” Rainbow began, “I found what looked to be a fake i.d underneath your bedroom yesterday when we were doing homework.” As she said this, she pulled out her phone and showed everyone a picture. Sure enough, it showed Twilight’s face, and her name, but with a faked age and D.O.B that put her well above 21. The name was also ‘Midnight’ instead of ‘Twilight’. “Oh, yeah, that brings up some memories...” Twilight began, but then caught herself just as fast, “OF THE PARK! OF THE PARK!” When everyone gave her a puzzled look, she explained, “It was a gag gift Shining gave me at an amusement park upstate once. He joked about how it would have given me access to the ‘mature section’ of the park.” Unsurprisingly, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow laughed at that, Rarity made a gagging noise, Applejack tried not to laugh, and Sunset just grinned like always. “But, that brings up an interesting point,” Rarity said, “What would Twilight act like if she actually went partying?” A chorus of ‘what?’ and ‘huh?’ came from her friends. “I mean, just look at yourself darling, you’d be a smash hit at any party with the right clothes. It would be an interesting thing if you started to go partying yourself.” “Yeah right, Rares,” Rainbow remarked, “Egghead here would probably just try to find a couch and read a book about drinks or something.” “Haha...yeah.” Twilight said, “Totally would just be reading...” “Sugarcube, anythin’ the matter?” Applejack asked, noticing the bookworm's flustered look. “Ahahahah, nothings wrong Applejack. “Twilight said, waving off her friend. “Alright then, if nothin’ else, I think it’s time we head to bed.” A chorus of agreements rose from the group (Excluding Fluttershy) before everyone went off to their respective sleeping bags. “Twilight, you coming?” Sunset asked, her bookworm friend just standing there lost in thought. “Augh! Sorry, Sunset. Yeah, sure, I’ll be there. Just gotta...head to the bathroom!” Twilight said, laughing nervously. Sunset looked at her, seeing if there were any subtle changes in her friend's stance, before shrugging and saying “Eh, don’t take too long in there.” “I won’t!” Twilight yelled, running to the bathroom. She closed the bathroom door. After listening to hear if anyone was still outside. She exhaled slowly, before making her way to the mirror. She washed her face and went to dry herself off. When she looked up, she saw that her hair-tie fell out. She went to pick it up, but when she looked in the mirror to tie her hair back, she stopped. The Truth Rainbow Dash gave had pulled up some... interesting memories of her life before Crystal Prep, before Canterlot even. If she squinted, she could barely make out the past her. She remembered the nights long ago, with Moondancer, and Twinkleshine. She remembered neon lights, long hours in the bathroom because Twinkleshine always insisted that a girl had to look her best when going out. She could remember long nights of planning, sneaking beer underneath her parent's noses, planning some of the best nights Cambridge School of Gifted Individuals could ever remember... "NO!" Twilight yelled, slamming her fist on the marble countertop. "I moved here to Canterlot City to get away from all of that, not again..." She looked around, checking to see if anyone heard her little outburst right there. Content that no one heard her, she went to her bag and dug to the lowest point in it. She found the bottom of her bag and slipped her fingers through the fake bottom, pulling out a small purse. In it, she opened, to find what remained of her past life as Midnight Sparkle, CSGI's party planner extraordinaire and popular girl, followed by her friends Moondancer and Twinkleshine. There was a polaroid of her and her friends, all laughing as Twilight popped a champagne bottle. She pulled out the first beer bottlecap that she ever got, and, finally, the only pair of contact lenses that she owned. She remembered that night long ago when she was about to move to Canterlot, that she took off her contacts for the last time and put on her glasses for the first time... Flashback: "You don't have to leave, do you?" Twinkleshine sobbed. "I don't' want to leave you, girls, either, but my mom and dad got a better job up north, and they wanted to move immediately." "They couldn't even wait until Spring Break??" Moondancer's lips quivered, "We were supposed to throw the biggest party of our lives!" "It's not that they can't, it's that they won't. They want to move us as fast as possible." Twinkleshine sobbed a few more times, before wiping her eyes and looking at her friend for possibly the last time. "Make sure to throw some parties for us, will you?" Twilight softly shook her head. "The school I'm going to won't even be the public school, my parents enrolled me in the private school there. I don't even know if they like parties up there. You know how prep schools are. I'm sorry girls." Slowly, she released Twinkleshine, then pulled out her contacts, and placed them in their container, before pulling her glasses case. She remembered when her parents first got her this pair, and she had to beg them to buy her a set of contacts instead. As she slowly walked away, Moondancer pulled her into a hug once more, "Don't forget us, will you Midnight?" She chuckled softly, "Why would I ever forget my best friends?" Slowly, Twilight gasped, and opened her eyes, and saw her contact lenses, the case open, and one of them already on her fingertips. She exhaled slowly, before putting them back and slipping them into her bag. She got so lost in thought, she didn't even realize that when he opened the door, all her friends are right there, not until she smacked face-first into Sunset's chest. "Twilight," Sunset said with a raised eyebrow. "Hehe, yeah girls?" She said, swallowing the saliva in her throat. Before any of the girls can answer, Sunset grabbed her arm, and her eyes flashed white, before turning back to their normal color. "Yeah, it was her." "Wait, what was me?" Twilight said, her breath slightly quickening. Before Sunset can explain, Pinkie beat her to the punch, "WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TELL ME YOU THREW PARTIES IN MIDDLE SCHOOL?!?!?!" "Wait! Who told you that?!?!" Twilight asked, her hands grabbing the hem of Pinkie's shirt and pulling her up to her face. "Darling, I'm all for having parties, but not with the amount of booze you had..." Rarity replied sheepishly. "Yea, and I thought' ahm the beer girl here, sugarcube, but you'd drink Big Mac under the table!" Applejack replied with a grin. "Everybody, stop, NOW!" Twilight yelled, getting the attention of all of her friends. "Now, who the hell told you about Middle School?" Twilight seethed. Suddenly, everyone slowly turned their way to Fluttershy, the pink-hair girl just being noticed by Twilight just now. "Meep!" *Flashback to about 10 minutes ago* Fluttershy didn't know what time it was. It was a vice of hers, she knows. Once she started watching Haytube, there was little else other than her parents or sleep that would stop her. Videos upon videos flew by on the screen, and yet Fluttershy kept watching. Currently, she had been binging a series of party videos that she and Pinkie were watching, said girl having stepped out to get some popcorn. As she aimlessly continued watching Haytube, her eyes fell on a recommended video for her, "CSGI 7th-grade graduation party at Sparkles!!" She blinked, her brain trying to comprehend this discovery. "It can't be... But there isn't another Sparkle..." Fluttershy whispered to herself. Slowly, her hands left the cocoon of blankets she was under to go and select the video... *Party Scene involving a younger Twilight Sparkle that I can't write**Use your imagination, but make it like a stereotypical frat house party* Fluttershy tried to process what she just saw. She knew everyone had a secret that should never get out, hers involving some dogs at the animal shelter, but she didn't know how bad Twilight's was until...now. "Pinkie Pie," She called to the bouncing girl coming up the stairs, "Call the girls, and find where Twilight is." *Back to the present* ... ... Sunset swore she could hear the hearts beating in her friends with how quiet it was. Nobody made a move until Twilight did: "Aww fuck me." She facepalmed, then went into the bathroom. A string of curses can be heard from inside it, before she walked out, looking completely different. Her glasses were gone, replaced by a pair of cyan contact lenses. Her hair was let down, in a similar matter to how her pony-counterpart had it. She had a distinctive amount of blush applied to her, evident by her not wearing any sort of makeup for the better part of a year. She kept her shirt, yet wore a purple coat over it. She had a pair of ripped jeans with a gd amount of use to them. If she closed her eyes, Sunset could almost imagine this as the Twilight version of Sunset before the Fall Formal. Twilight pushed past all of the girls, who naturally began bombarding her with questions, and made her way to the room's exit, and into the kitchen. "Alright, first I'm going to start drinking," Twilight said through clenched teeth, already making her way downstairs, "Then I'll let Midnight explain what the fuck is going on." Author's Note I'll be honest, I had no idea what I was getting at here. I just took an idea and started writing, and before you know it, I've been writing for 5 hours straight. This was originally going to be a one-shot, like The real Rarity, which gave me this idea, except I got into the whole Moondancer and Twinkleshine thing and realized I'm making another series, aren't I? Don't worry, this won't interfere with To Forgive Or Forget, although the greater emphasis on editing and proper writing will be put on To Forgive Or Forget because that was planned, and this will just be what can be chalked up to 'free-writing'.
What the heck is CSGI?Give her all the paper in the world, and a full year, and Rarity still wouldn’t have enough time or space to write what was wrong with the scene she was watching. Of course, everyone had their own little secret, no less of a shortage herself. I mean, Coco Pommel’s dresses were nice, but she wasn’t about to let them overshine her dresses at the fashion show. A little snip, some stains there, and she knew Coco would rather miss the show entirely rather than show off what remained of her dress. You know, a harmless little secret. However, when she and the rest of her friends came up to Pinkie’s bedroom to see what Fluttershy had found, this escaped the level of ‘harmless little secret’ by about 17 times. The video seemed harmless enough, ‘CSGI 7th-grade Graduation day at Sparkles’ it was titled. Rarity didn’t think too much about the title, she just wanted to head to bed already, but it was what was in it that made her begin to perk up. The camera was apparently showing what seemed to be a frat house party, but 7th-grade style. Where you’d find Jack Daniel bottles were replaced with Bud Light. Strip poker was just poker, and where you’d see couples going in and out of bedrooms or bathrooms, you’d just see kissing and making out in public. On one wall, the words ‘Get lost, Mrs. Abernagi!! and Screw 7th grade! were spray-painted on the wall. Even still, this was hardcore comparable to what Rarity (And apparently the rest of her friends) remember of their middle school experience. Rarity remembered the times where gossip would spread all around the lunchroom table about how someone cheated on a test, or 2 people used the upstairs bathroom to make out. The ‘illegal contraband’ they brought into school was gum or Ponymon cards, nothing like the alcohol that was present in the video. Rarity thought the most hardcore thing she saw in middle school was when Rainbow copped a feel on her, but that was quickly dashed right now when she saw two girls running into a room, one of them already taking her shirt off. “Fluttershy, darling, what are you trying to prove by showing us this?” “Shhhh!” Pinkie shushed her, putting one finger to her lips, “This is the part we wanted to show you, girls.” Rarity didn’t understand what was going on. In the current scene, it was a Spin the Bottle game, and two of the girls were making out, while a third snapped a quick photo of them. When they separated, Pinkie brought to her attention to one of the girls that were making out. At first, she thought nothing of it, before she saw the hairstyle. Long, chest-long hair. Smooth, no curls. There seems to be a streak of purple running through it. It looks almost like... “Wai’ a darn minute!” Applejack yelled, seemingly coming to the same conclusion. Her eyes kept darting between the girl in the video, who was now making out with the camera holder, and the title. “Tha’ can’t possibly be...” “We didn’t want to believe it as well,” Fluttershy spoke up. “But it becomes quite obvious around-” ” Alright, your turn Sparkle.” One of the girls in the video called out. “...now,” Fluttershy said with a sigh. She paused the video, then went to another tab, this one showing off the pdf of a school yearbook. In it, under the Superlative ‘Best Party Planners’ was a trio, Moondancer Dusk, Twinkeshine Evening, “...and Twilight Sparkle.” Rainbow finished for her. In silence, all the girls stood for about 17 seconds, Rarity counted, before Sunset asked the one question on everyone’s mind, “What the hell is CSGI?” “CSGI,” Twilight said with a chuckle, “Cambridge School for Gifted Individuals.” All the girls were in the kitchen, on the other side of the kitchen island, while Twilight was on the other side, next to the fridge. Said girl was mumbling to herself about how Pinkie didn’t have ‘any decent liquor’ before settling on some sparkling water in the back. She cracked it open and took a long swig of the carbonated drink before continuing. “Alright, 3 *hic* rules,” Twilight said with a hiccup, “One, say anything about this to anyone else, and I’m going to steal your geodes.” She took another swig before continuing, “Two, in any circumstances, when I’m dressed or acting like this, it’s Midnight, not Twilight. You hear me?” She waited until all the girls agreed, “and Three,” She faced Pinkie, “No, I’m not going to help you set up parties. Unless they’re large scale ones with booze, girls, and some gambling.” “Alright,” Rainbow said, stopping Twilight from saying anything else, “Let’s begin this now. Who are you?” “That depends, are you talking about the girl from Cambridge or Crystal Prep?” She pointed at Rainbow with her bottle. “Both are the same, are they not?” Rarity asked. Twilight laughed at that. “I’m Midnight Sparkle, the girl from Cambridge. Voted ‘Best Party Planner’ of 2014 in my grade.” She then tied her hair back and put the glasses on, “I’m Twilight Sparkle, the girl from Crystal Prep, who was the top of her school in every subject (Besides gym). You see the difference?” The girls were, understandably, quite concerned about this. One moment, the girl in front of them was a stranger from the East Coast, a drinker with a bad-girl attitude, and who looked like if she saw anything sparkly she might throw up. The next, she was their good old friend Twilight, the dork nerd from Crystal Prep who always had a book and something to talk about that was related to science or math or whatever else. “Um, if it’s alright with you, Midnight,” Sunset swallowed the lump in her throat, “I think we’d all rather talk to Twilight instead.” “Eh, your loss,” she grinned, before downing the rest of the bottle and putting on the glasses again. “Wow, that’s a trip. Hey girls.” She said with a small smile. “Alright, sugarcube, what ‘n tarnation was that?” Applejack drawled out, her face showing a look of worry and confusion. “Arrgh, Midnight got out didn’t she?” Twilight pinched the bridge of her nose. “ *Hrmpf* Sit down, this will be a story.” When all the girls pulled up in stools, she began. “I’m not a native to Canterlot City. I’m not even a native of California.” She paused, grabbing a glass of water before continuing. “You know how I was bullied in Crystal Prep for being better than everyone else there?” There was a murmur of agreement in the group. “That’s partially true. I indeed was bullied for being better than my peers, but it stemmed farther than Crystal Prep.” She brought out a data tablet to prove her point. “This is a stereotype chart of the entire country. As you see, California is more well known for ‘surfer dudes’ and ‘Hollywood’ and ‘fraternity collages’ than its academic level. Perks of too many 2000s movies.” She passed the tablet to Fluttershy, before continuing. “All of the Ivy League schools, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, UP, Princeton, and Yale, and much of the well-known prep schools in the country are all stationed around basically the Northeast.” “Like CSGI,” Sunset said, showing the tablet which displayed the most well-known prep schools in the country. “Like CSGI. So, imagine the student's surprise in Crystal Prep when a girl from CSGI, from the area of some of their dream schools, comes in and obliterates their school acceptance exams and any records before them.” “I didn’t mean to break the acceptance exam’s record. I had thought it was a simple evaluation test.” She sighed. “If I had known it was an acceptance exam, and that the score would be public knowledge, I would have done the bare minimum to pass it.” She stifled a laugh, “Suddenly, I was the social outcast. You’d think everyone would want to be friends with the smartest girl in the school, but they didn’t see it like that. They saw me as an unknown variable, the competition.” She said through clenched teeth. “I became withdrawn, shy, reserved. Anytime I tried to make friends, they’d shove me off and make some quip about how I was going to break yet another record of the school’s.” “Why, that’s a horrible reason to push someone away, darling!” Rarity said, shocked. “Yeah, but it was Crystal Prep.” She grabbed one of the alcoholic bottles Sunset and Applejack got. “Now, I’ll let Midnight explain who she is, just don’t freak out over her. She doesn’t take well to that.” She chugged the bottle, then promptly passed out on the countertop. Everyone believed the girl had passed out before she woke up with a startle. She looked at them and smiled with a grin before she let down Twilight’s hair once more and put back the contacts, “So, you’re the Rainbooms?” “Um, yeah! And who are you, egghead?” Rainbow yelled accusingly at the girl that used to be Twilight. She laughed out loud, “I’m Midnight, Midnight Sparkle.” When all the girl’s stepped back in recoil, she rolled her eyes. “Oh, please, that Midnight was the equivalent of a parasite with us. *Tsk* Couldn’t even make up an original name. Anyways, before you ask, no, I’m not a byproduct of the magic. If anything, I would have stopped the magic from being released if I was in control at the time.” She growled as a familiar face popped up in her head, “Stupid fucking Cinch and her fucking reputation.” She downed more of the alcoholic drink, before continuing. “Anyways, no, this isn’t a case of Multiple Personality Disorder, heaven knows Twilight ran enough tests to prove that.” She stifled another laugh, “You can say it’s more a form of a...change of personality.” “An’ wut ‘n tarnation is that supposed to mean!?” Applejack yelled in a more threatening tone than she wanted. “Slow down, hayseed,” Twilight grinned, “if you want to make me scream, take me to dinner first okay?” She laughed, while the farmer had a blush creeping on her face. Twilight downed the rest of the bottle before continuing. “Technically, I’m both Midnight and Twilight at the same time, just with a different personality. And NO, Sunset,” The scientist shot a glance to the former-pony before she can ask her question, “That is NOT a case of Multiple Personality Disorder. In MPD, the subject doesn’t remember what happened under the influence of the other personality, and often times feels like their possessed instead of being in control. As you can see, I have full memory of my time as Twilight.” “Well, how do we know you aren’t lying?!” Rainbow Dash yelled in a similar tone to Applejack. Twilight rolled her eyes, then walked over to Rainbow and whispered something in her ear. Immediately, her face becomes flushed and blushing, and Twilight grinned while she walked back to her seat. When she was met with curious looks, she said, “I just told her an embarrassing moment between her and Twilight that no body else could know.” She grinned, grabbed another bottle, and continued, “As far as I can tell, I’m in control of both Twilight and Midnight, and I have the memories of both sides. I did some tests of this back in CSGI, and determined that it untimantly came down...to booze.” “Booze?” Sunset deadpanned. “Yeah,” Twilight smiled, “When I’m intoxicated, I as Midnight would come out. In the past, Midnight would also come out when I was happy since the majority of time me being happy was due to the things that Midnight did.” She took another swig, “The only reason why Midnight doesn’t come out when I’m with you girls now is that hanging out with you girls is Twilight’s happiness, not Midnight’s.” “So, if you hung out with us, you’d most likely come as Twilight?” Fluttershy questioned. Twilight nodded, “And if I was hanging out with my girls from CSGI, or became intoxicated, I’d probably slip into,” she gestured to herself, “Midnight.” She took another swig, then went into her bag and pulled out a vial and a needle. “That’s the entire reason I’m always cautious of the alcohol when I’m with you girls.” She took the needle, pulled the liquid from the vial, and injected herself with it. To the looks of her friend's shocked faces, she just smiled, “Alcohol cure, designed to destroy any alcohol inside my bloodstream. Made it specifically in case I ended up drinking again and had to stop Midnight from coming out.” She let out a content ahhhhh before she stood up, took off her contacts, and put her hair back into a ponytail. Soon after she came back looking like that, all the girls pounced on her with glee. “Twilight! You’re back!” Pinkie exclaimed. She chuckled at that, “You know I never left, right Pinkie?” “I know, but You you is back!” She smiled with glee, before pulling her friend into a hug. “Darling, that other you is quite dreadful!” Rarity exclaimed, “However did you deal with her?” She grinned sheepishly, “I didn’t. Me as Twilight Sparkle, the ‘nerd’ didn’t come until Crystal Prep. Midnight took over most of the time in CSGI.” Sunset chuckled, “Well, let’s head to bed. And Applejack?” Said girl looked at her, “Make sure from now on, leave the booze faarrr away from Twilight, will yeah?” “Heh, you got it Sunset.” “So, Pinkie,” Twilight turned to the party planning girl, who perked up, “Did you say anything about parties?” She nodded, “But you said that Midnight threw the parties?” She laughed, “I said she threw the large parties, with booze and everything. Never said I couldn’t throw parties.” Pinkie Pie’s face lit up, “I know just what we can do!” She grinned. Canterlot International Airport* “Next!” “Alright, alright, I’m coming!” The girl showed her ticket and her bag to the customs official. “Why do we gotta go through Customs again?” “While you are citizens of USE (United States of Equestria), you did come from Gallopermeny, so we still have to check your stuff, ma’am.” While the official checks each of the 5 girl's bags, another came up, holding a checklist. “Are you girls the transfer students to Canterlot High School?” A chorus of agreements rang out from the crowd. “Good. I was ordered to give you your schedules, your keys to your apartment, and a letter from the Principle.” He handed said objects to the four girl group, before leaving. “Alright, alright girls. I’m going to call your names out, and give you your stuff.” “Why you gotta be the one, Lemon?” “Because, Twinkle, she has our stuff?” “Nobody asked for your opinion, Minu!” “Alright, girls, stop fighting!” The 4th girl called from behind them, just passing the customs official. “We can bicker at the apartment, not in public.” “Like you know about keeping your cool in public, Moonie.” Lemon sneered. “C’mon girls!” Twinkle called out, “New school, new us, nothing can go wrong now!” “Yeah!” Minu called out, “Let’s show this town what CSGI students can do!” Author's Note Alright, I should probably go back to updating To Forgive or Forget now. Also yes, Twilights original friends from Canterlot in the show, Lemon Heart, Minuette, Twinkleshine, and Moondancer are the transfer student girls in the end paragraph, in case that wasn’t obvious.
Ghost of Party Past“...no,” Twilight announced vehemently, “No, No, NO!” She took off, sprinting in the other direction. “Um, anyone knows what her deal was?” The pink-haired girl spun around to face us. “I mean, I know I’m dashing, but I didn’t expect another girl to run from my looks." She grinned, before earning a backhand to her head by her red-haired friend. “Owww, what was that for Moonie?!” “For pissing off the first girls we met in this school, you twat!” ‘Moonie’ yelled at her friend. “I swear to god, Twinkleshine, you’re like a walking asshole machine to every newbie we meet!” “Hey, lay off her, Moonie,” A lightning-blue-haired girl called behind them, dragging her dark-blue-haired girl behind her, “It’s not her fault if she’s naturally a bastard.” She grinned. “Oi! Lemon!” ‘Twinkleshine’ called out, “I’m going to spike your punch with alcohol the next party you throw!” “Go ahead,” ‘Lemon’ called, “I’ve been doing that since our 6th grade Spring Fling party!” She tossed a hearty chuckle as the girl named ‘Moonie’ spanked her on the back of her ass, eliciting a moan and a yelp from the girl. “Ooh, getting kinky are we now, Moonie?” She flashed a grin at the red-head, as they facepalmed. All the Rainbooms were shocked at the casual talk of these girls, and a few of them began to question how they even got here in the first place. Approximently 2 minutes earlier “So, how’s your other you at sports, Twi?” Rainbow asked, a grin sitting on her face. “Rainbow, for the last time,” Twilight rolled her eyes, “I don’t know. Back in CSGI, there wasn’t much for sports for girls.” “No girl teams?” Sunset asked, bewildered, “But why? Wouldn’t that look bad for the school?” “It did,” Twilight replied, “Everyone believed that the school faculty was sexist until they showed the profits they gained from a boy-teams match vs a girl-teams match. The drop was almost 67% in attendance from the boy-to-girl match. The data showed that it was financially poor for pumping money into a failing team when they can pull the funding and put it into something else, like a new science wing they were building.” “Wow,” Pinkie called behind them, “That’s really poor for the girl teams.” “Yeah,” Twilight sighed, “They put up a fight, but had to concede when the faculty told them that they’d already sent it to the board, and got permission to cut their funding.” “But still,” Twilight looked at Rainbow, “I don’t think me as Midnight would mind if I was to play some sports in our free time. Although I might be a bit more...liberal in my words, Rainbow.” “Oh please, egghead,” Rainbow laughed, “As if you could ever swear.” Twilight’s eyes narrowed. “Keep that up, fucker,” Twilight seethed, “And I’ll be making you say uncle before lunch.” Everyone blinked, their eyes going wide as they heard their nerdy friend swear so casually in school. “What?” Twilight pushed up her glasses, “Just because I’m not acting as Midnight doesn’t mean I can’t do what she does.” “Nevermind,” Sunset interjected, stopping Rainbow from retorting, “Let's go, we have to head to the front of the school.” “Do tell, darling” Rarity butted in, “Why do you need to go to the front again?” “Eh, some new kids came in over the weekend, I’m supposed to be showing them around. Ah, that must be them.” Sunset gestured to a group of girls talking, garnering the attention of one pink-haired girl. “Ah, are you girls the welcoming committee?” She walked up to them, sticking her hand out. “Hi! My name is Twinkleshine!” As she began greeting the rest of the girls, Twilight’s eyes went wide. “...no.” Present As the three girls started yelling amongst themselves, the dark-haired girl facepalmed, before waking over to the Rainbooms.”I’m so sorry for my asshole friends, can we try introductions again?” Rainbow flashed a grin at the girl, before sticking her hand out for the other girl to shake. “Pleasure to meet you all,” She said in a cocky voice, “My name is Rainbow Dash, and we’re the Rainbooms.” “Oh! You're the Rainbooms!” She girl jumped in shock, before grinning like a little girl and stuck her hand out, “I’m such a huge fan! My name is Minuette!” She grabbed Rainbow’s hand with earnest and shook it with vigor. “Wwwoooooaahhh!” Rainbow shuddered with the strength of this girl’s handshake. Her hand had the grip of vice on her, “Heh, didn’t know you were a fan.” She smiled weakly, as she massaged her hand. “Oh, totally!” Minuette squealed, “Back in CSGI, we had an entire fan club dedicated to you girls.” “Oh, were you the ones that sent the cake and the uniforms?” Pinkie said excitedly, jumping to the front of the group. “Yeah! Did’ja like them?” Minuette asked with some excitement. “Very much,” Fluttershy said, “We had no clue why you asked us to heat it up before eating it, but the lava chocolate in the center was a nice touch.” As the Rainbooms continued talking with Minuette, something clicked in Sunset’s head. “Wait, wait, wait, back up. Did you say CSGI’?” Minuette cocked her head sideways, “Yeah, Cambridge School for Gifted Individuals, why do you ask?” A flash of panic flew through the rest of the Rainbooms, as they realized exactly who they just met. "Wut 'n tarnation," Applejack exclaimed, "You girls can't be..." "Excuse me, darling," Rarity butted in, bringing Minuette's attention to the fashionista, "Hate to interrupt, but what's the name of you and your friends again?" She batted her eyelashes innocently. "Oh! My name is Minuette Hall," She looked at the rest of the Rainbooms "I know, weird last name. My pink-haired friend," She pointed to the girl, currently in a chokehold, "is Twink-" "Twinkleshine Evening." Fluttershy blurted out, before covering her mouth. "...yeah," Minuette replied, obviously confused. "Anyways, the girl giving her a chokehold is LemonHeart Gumdrops, and my redhead friend trying to stop them is Moondancer Dusk." "Um, alright," Pinkie said, bouncing up to the girl, "My name is Pinkie Pie," She exclaimed, sticking her hand out for the girl to shake, "This is Fluttershy Naturemind," She gestured to the failing-to-hide-behind-Sunset's-hair girl, "Rarity Gemstones," said girl took Minuettes hand with earnest, "Rainbow 'Dash' Lightbeam," Rainbow cringed at the use of her full name, "Sunset Shimmer," Sunset waved at Minuette, "and Jacqueline Apple," Pinkie smiled with glee, while Applejack tried to hide behind her stetson, "Although to keep it from sounding too Prench, she goes by Applejack." "It's so very nice to meet you all, "Minuette shook with glee, "but where's your other friend?" Sweat beads began to form on Sunset's and the rest of the Rainbooms foreheads, "What other friend?" She asked nervously. "The one that ran from Twinkleshine," Minuette cocked her head. "I never got a good glimpse at her face." "Ah, her," Applejack said, trying to keep a knowing face from forming on hers, "Her..." "Her name..." Rarity tried, "Is..." BBBRRRRIIINNNGGGG 'Oh, saved by the bell,' Sunset thought. "Listen, we're really sorry, it seems we've kinda extended our time to show you girls around. " She took Minuette's hand, "We have Study Hall after this class, we can show you around then." "...Alright then," Minuette said nervously, "Girls, let's go, we got class!" Next class Sunset didn't like this. She knew the risks of having Twilight's identity exposed to her former friends, but she knew that one way or another, the truth would come out. "Hey, Sunset!" Minuette called to her, pulling up behind her. "The rest of the girls are with your other friends, and they sent me to find you." "O-oh, alright," Sunset said nervously, "Let's go." The two of them began a slow walk to the Gym, which was always the first stop for showing new kids around. As they walked, Minuette kept pressuring her about the 'Mystery Girl'. "Sooo..." Minuette began, before yelping in surprise as Sunset slammed her hands on a nearby locker, warmth seething through her. "Listen, Minuette," Sunset began, "I know you want to know who she is, but she specifically asked me not to let you girl meet her. Please try to understand that." "I know that," Minuette sighed, "But it's getting annoying having to hear the same answer of 'Sorry' or 'I can't help you.' " She slumped on a bench, "I just don't like secrets being held against me." "Look, Minuette," Sunset let out a sigh herself, "I...might be able to tell you," Minuette's eyes shot up with glee, "But you have to understand the repercussions of me telling you." She grabbed her arm, putting it in an arm lock with her own. "My friend told me and my friends a secret about her, "Sunset began, "And we were sworn to secrecy about it, on the threat she'd steal our wallets. Harmless jokes, but you get the idea." She began to grip Minuette's arm even harder. "I am only even considering telling you this because I don't want you to think this entire school is shit based on your 'Welcome' tour, and because I think you're nice." She smiled. "Really, you think so?" Minuette asked. "Minuette, your friend Moondancer looked like she couldn't do anything physical if her life depended on it, and your friends LemonHeart and Twinkleshine tried to choke each other outside, and yet you were the only person to try and strike a friendly conversation. I learned a long time ago to trust in other people, and I'm trusting you, do you understand?" Minuette looked into Sunset's cyan eyes, a steely look coming from her own, "Yes." "Good, then follow me." The two of them walked together, Sunset choosing a specific route that didn't go past any academic award booths or anything mentioning their group members' names. They eventually stopped in front of a Study Room on the second floor. "Now, are you sure that you want to hear this?" Sunset asked Minuette one more time. "Yes," Minuette answered, "I want to know why this is such a big secret." Steeling her resolve, Sunset opened the door, startling the lone occupant inside. Before she could say anything, Sunset walked up to her and put a finger on her lips. "You knew this would have to come once you saw them, I'm just trying to make it easier." The girl had panicked eyes darting around the room, eventually coming to rest on Minuette's eyes. She breathed slowly, before staring Sunset dead in the eyes and nodding slowly. She took the finger off her lips and brought them to Sunset's ears, "Please tell me you know what you're doing..." Sunset nodded, "I know it," before letting the girl surrender herself to Sunset's embrace, and letting her hair flow down, and for her glasses to slip off her face. She took a long deep breath, before swiveling around and facing Minuette, whose faces began to turn into one of recognition and shock. "...T-Twilight?" She chuckled softly, "Long time no see Minuette." Author's Note 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 Who wants some popcorn? Just to reiterate to anyone that didn't read my other book (To Forgive or Forget), I am working on an alternating schedule w/ this story, To Forgive or Forget, and a currently un-named third book I am working on. Also, am I the only one, or is anyone else bored out of their mind because they don't like Pony Life and are just waiting for either the next (and probably final) Equestria Girls Movie, or for the Gen 5 series to come out? Man, I feel old. I still remember the news that there was a My Little Pony movie waaayyyy back in 2013, I remember talking with this girl *space* friend of mine about it, and I remember when it first dropped on Netflix and I was so pumped up! And, now it's not there anymore Also, the stats I mentioned weren't faked. According to this website, the average attendance rate for a WNBA game is only about 1/3 that of an NBA game. The average viewership would be even less. The last point, I should have fleshed out the initial meeting with the CSGI girls longer, as well as Minuette's meeting with Twilight, but I don't have time because I have a project I need to finish. If I find you would like me to, I'll go and post a re-write of this chapter and the meeting Also, why Minuette and not Moondancer? Because Moondancer has a larger part to play in future chapters and the future part requires her to meet Twilight last. Also, I just liked Minuette and how she was portrayed in the show, that's why I put emphasis on using her instead
Revelations : MinuetteMinuette was tired. She tries not to show it, but she was always tired on the inside. Being what people say "The only sane person in her friend group" has its drawbacks. Every day, whenever her friends got into fights or made scenes - and they always had one Every. Single. Day - it fell upon her to try and sort everything out. Her best example was back during their Washington D.C field trip in 8th grade. Without her to wrangle the friend group in, that task fell upon Minuette to make sure they followed the instructions. It was equally known that their friend group was the most...energetic in the entire school, On or off-campus, and she was supposed to make sure that they all behaved on one of the most well-known trips in their entire lives? Good Luck With That It was supposed to be a nice field trip. She had gotten Lemon to agree to be on her best behavior on the trip, she strong-armed Moonie by blackmailing her as being the perpetrator of the fire that nearly took down their newly built science wing, and she 'paid' Twinkle later that night, and she prayed that that was all she needed to get them to listen. Murphy disagreed. She didn't remember, but it was somewhere between spiking all the drinks at their hotel's dining hall and lacing the teacher's beds with itching powder - On DAY ONE no less - did she give up all forms of sanity and joined them in their debauchery. 20/20 hindsight, she shouldn't have given them the spray paint and told them to go nuts on the city, as only 6 hours later did the news go on that some girls broke into Lincoln Memorial and drew several dongs on Lincoln's seat. 20/20 hindsight, she shouldn't have spiked the soda and joined them either. Lemon called it the 'best thing ever on this lame-ass trip' while they were in jail, while Moonie and Twinkle had already prepared 4 different ways to break themselves out of jail before they could be identified and their teacher called up to the station. Minuette...just sat there as they seduced the guards, before knocking them out, nabbing his key, and making off with the security tap of them being brought in. Minuette was tired, and there was only one person that understood her pain. Her Her, with her no-nonsense attitude that could stop any plans Twinkle had. Her, with her thousand-mile stare that stopped Lemon from cracking any more sexual jokes or any more pranks. And her spontaneity, that helped each of them from temporarily stopping their pranking addiction long enough to study for Quarterly and Quizzes and let them hold the title of Best Students of the School. Her, with her waving ponytail, and her magenta streaks that made your knees wobble and twist. Her, with her punk rock attitude that, like a lightbulb, can turn into a kind and loving gesture and smile. Her, the girl that was the leader of their group, the winner of the school's Spring Fling Dance, and still on the Honor Roll of the school. Twilight 'Midnight' Sparkle. The same Twilight 'Midnight' Sparkle, that stood in front of her right now, in a baby blue skirt and a striped, collared shirt that, had she been back in CSGI, she'd have called 'tacky', 'babyish', and would have taken her fathers bottle of Jack Danials, dumped half of the thing on the shirt - The rest she'd drink - and light it on fire. The same Twilight 'Midnight' Sparkle, that gave her a tearful glance reminiscent of a Husband and Wife reuniting in those cliche 2000's romance movies. That made her regret leaving them for close to 2 1/2 years. "TWILIGHT!" She ran into the girl's open arms, and they sobbed and laughed, and cried in a loving embrace. At least until Sunset coughed, bringing them back to reality, and pointed at a hand clock on the wall saying that it was 5 minutes to lunchtime. "How about we take this to the roof instead, shall we?" Sunset said. Author's Note Yes, this is short. Do I have a decent excuse? Nope, I procrastinated. To make up for this, I'll promise to pump out another chapter alongside Right Back Where We Started next week. How will you know I'll do this? Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a cupcake in my eye. *Pinkie jumps in* This Pinkie Promise has been certified, approved, and will be held up by the power of Me and Fourth Wall breaks! Also, I get the sex tags haven't been put in. Should I, considering I'm just talking about the act, and not actually doing said act? I dunno, you tell me. Last point, next chapter, I'm going to start OOCing Twilight into her Midnight personality. What does this mean? Initially, it'll just be spray painting and making mild suggestive jokes. Later, we'll get into parties, spiked drinks, and possibly sex?
Aw hell, we're doing this now?Technically, the upper roof of Canterlot High isn't meant to be accessed by anyone besides the janitor for him to clear it off. Technicalities never stopped Sunset or Minuette, or Twilight. "Alright, before we catch up on what you guys been doing for the past 2 1/2 years," Sunset began, running a comb through her hair and pulling out all the knots, "How did both of you pick that lock?" She eyed the two suspiciously. "Well..." Minuette said sheepishly. "Let's just say not all of the liquor we got in CSGI for our parties was acquired legally." Twilight finished for her. Sunset stared, dumbfounded at her bookish friend. "Sunset, are you okay?" Minuette said, feeling pity for her new friend. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." Sunset put up a small smile, "Just, never expected to hear those words from Twilight." "You mean Midnight?" Minuette said. "I go by Twilight here, Minuette," Twilight said, pulling a sandwich from her bag. "Easier to go by your real name when you're not one of the most wanted teens in the town." Sunset looked mildly shocked at that before Twilight rolled her eyes and pulled Sunset towards her. "Sunset, look at me," She said with a tone of assertiveness, "I get I may have done some stuff you girls wouldn't exactly agree with in the past, but I've changed. I won't go back to that again, alright?" "Yeah, yeah," Sunset rubbed the back of her head in an awkward manner, "You just remind me a lot of what I used to do in the past, and I don't want you doing the same thing Twilight." "I won't, I promise." She smiled, before giving Sunset $20. "Now, by any chance could you get us some lunch from the cafeteria?" "Yeah, sure," Sunset smiled, "I'll leave you two alone for now." As she descended the steps to the school building, Minuette turned to face her, "You never acted like that to us, Mid-Twilight." She said with a hint of sadness. Heartbroken that her old friend was thinking that way, she went over to comfort her. "Look, Minuette..." She pulled her into a hug, "I was a different person back then, alright? I was brash, and arrogant with you girls. Here, I've learned to take things slower, and at a much nicer pace than what we did in CSGI." "I know, Twilight, I know," Minuette said, before looking into Twilight's eyes, who nodded back to her before she dug her head into the girl's shoulder. "Oh TWILIGHT!" She sobbed. "We all missed you so much." She continued sobbing into her old friend, who tried to comfort her. "I know, I'm so sorry I left you girls," Twilight said, bringing her friend to face her. "I promise, I won't leave you again." She sniffled, before bringing her face to Twilight once more, "Thanks, Twily, I missed you." "I missed you too, Minuette." They smiled. "So, you girls did making out with each other?" A voice sneered from the entrance. Both girls recoiled back before their faces turned into a face of amusement. "Haha, very funny Sunset." Twilight deadpanned, taking the lunch bags from her friend's grasp, before handing off one to Minuette. "Oh, chicken parmesan!" Sunset flinched at the word 'chicken' before Minuette understood what she came from. "Oh, you're vegan, aren't you?" "Vegetarian, technically," Sunset corrected her, "A vegan doesn't eat dairy products, and my best friend makes me a cupcake to go every day." "Oh, they must be nice girls," Minuette said, scarfing down the sandwich. "Yeah, they really are." Sunset said, "They're the ones who saved me and Twilight, you know?" Twilight recoiled, and Sunset figured out what she said, and slapped a hand over her mouth. "What do you mean, saved?" Minuette raised an eyebrow. Sunset sighed, "I used to be the Head Bitch In Charge at CHS, they're the ones who showed me the wrong I did, and who helped me redeem myself." "I mean, that makes sense for you," Minuette said, "But what about Twilight? If she's everything she said she was, I have high doubts she would try and take over the school." "It was...an accident," Twilight sighed, "A dumb one at that." "Oh? Do tell me." Minuette said. "Well, I actually didn't come here to CHS when I moved from CSGI." Twilight began, "I actually moved to the prep school uptown, Crystal Prep." "Oh damn, a prep school?" Minuette said shocked. "Yep." Twilight deadpanned, "Mom and Dad made me sign up when they caught wind of what we've been doing in the past." "Oh, crap." Minuette said, "If I knew, I'd have stopped us all immediately." "Yeah, they kept it low-key until they could find some evidence to prove what I've been doing. Anyways, they sent me there to make me stop partying. And I guess it worked?" "What do you mean guessed?" Sunset said, scarfing down the salad she brought for herself. "Well, instead of just stopping me from partying, it totally stamped out any fun I had at the school." "HOW?" Minuette said, angrily, 'Tell me who did it, and I'll make them rue the day they were born." "Long explanation, ask me when lunch isn't going to be over in 5 minutes." "Speaking of lunch ending, don't you have class after this, Sunset?" Twilight said, "I mean, me and Minuette have a free period now, so we can spend some time up here." "I do as well." Sunset smiled. "Wait, what?" Twilight's eyebrow raised, "I thought you had Economics with Applejack?" "I did, but Principle Celestia swapped my schedule for this semester to line up with Minuette's to help her settle in." "Oh, that's nice of her!" Twilight beamed. As Twilight got up to throw away her lunch, she tripped on something in Minuette's bag, "Damnit!" She swore as she fell. "Twilight, are you alright?!" Sunset said, going over to her friend. "I'm fine, just make sure I didn't sprain my ankle, would you?" Minuette went over to her friend's leg, and placed two fingers on her ankle, "Not sprained, but lay off any fast running for about an hour." "How do you know first aid?" Sunset asked. "She was our medic in CSGI," Twilight explained, pulling herself up. "Anytime one of us got hurt during parties or pranks, it fell to her to clean us up." When Sunset looked into Minuette's bag to find why Twilight tripped, she came across something that made her eyebrows raise. "Minuette," she asked slowly. "Yeah, Sunset?" "Why are there three cans of White Claw in your school bag?" "There are?!" SHe exclaimed, then ran up to her bag to confirm it, "Damnit Lemon, I could have been sent to detention for this!" "Who's Lemon?" Sunset asked Twilight, who was trying to walk again. "The supplier, basically." She said, "Anything we needed, it fell to her to get it." "Well, crap." Minuette said, "I'm fucking lucky that no one caught them, though I don't think my luck will hold through the afternoon." Twilight pondered this, while Sunset tried to help Minuette stuff the cans back into her bag. "I have an idea!" "What?" Sunset said. "We drink the cans!" Twilight exclaimed. "What." Sunset deadpanned. "Well, we can't have Minuette dragging the cans through the afternoon, someone can find them." Twilight exclaimed, "And since we have all drank beer at one point or another, we could probably hold the alcohol long enough till we get home." "Wait, I can get the two of you drinking, you did in fact spike your parties if Twinkleshine was anything to go off of," Sunset said, "But how do you know I drink beer?" "You don't do very well with disposing of the cans behind your apartment." Twilight deadpanned. The three of them pondered this. On one hand, they could not drink the cans, and Minuette has to handle the anxiety of harboring cans of beer through the second half of school. On the other, they all proved that they can handle alcohol, and the chances they are found out if they drink the cans are slim. Sunset was the first to crack open a can. As each of them drank their respective cans, the world began to slowly blur around them. Their minds began to think irrationally, as the world began to spin, and they all toppled over in a fit of giggles. There was laughter, and giggling, as the three of them slowly began to lose focus on the rest of the world, and it became just the three of them. It would be unknown to them later at what time, but at some point, there was a light hiss of another can, and they just let their minds draw to their heart's content. For unknown to them, the beer they all drank in the past was watered down, either through the punch, or through just plain water, and these cans were pure alcoholic beer. The three of them woke up the next day in Sunset's apartment. Head pounding, eyes bloodshot, and each of them begging for the sweet release of death. It wouldn't be until about 9 in the morning when Twilight would be able to drink some water and clear her head. Luckily, it was the weekend. Wait, the weekend? Twilight thought, but wasn't today supposed to be Friday? As each of them woke, the situation they were in cleared up. Their clothes were all strewn about, a bra there, some shirt on the couch, and the distinct smell of sex and paint thinner hung in the air. All of Sunset's glasses were filled with an unknown concoction, though it must be noted that the ingredients in her kitchen were the ones needed to make beer. Twilight's phone was cracked, Sunset's was missing, and Minuette's was stuffed about an inch down her privates. All of them were butt naked. As Twilight spoke, a sharp pain stung in her head, "Anyone knows what happened last night?" "No clue," Sunset said, "But I have a feeling it was nothing good." As she said this, she pointed to her TV, which was running on, and a Breaking News report showing the front of Canterlot High was on it. The school looked like a mess, with obscene drawings on its walls, and slurs for all people written on its sides. One of the windows was destroyed, and Minuette's bag was hanging from the horn of the new Wondercolt statue, itself having an obscene drawing on its underside. The headline? Three Teens suspected in the defamation of Canterlot High's front: "CSGI's Girls are back baby!" written on the statue base ... ... ... "Well, shitfucks." Twilight swore. Author's Note HAHAHAHAHA! You thought Sunset would be the nice girl huh?! You thought that she'd be the one to save Twilight from the road of debauchery she would go down? NOPE! The universal constant always puts these girls together, no matter WHAT! HAHAHAHAHA Now, I need to update the sex tag, as well as figure out how to bail these girls out of jail... Also, please tell me, how do you guys feel about me making ANOTHER story? I had this one idea bouncing in my head, and I think it'll be a good one if I can write it properly.

Side-Shot: The Security Guard*Month-long Break* It's exactly what it sounds like. I'm going to stop working on this story for about a month. I have some obligations to another user to help them finish something, I have to add another chapter to To Forgive or Forget, and I have 3 different stories rattling in my head I need to get down on paper before I forget them. So yeah, I'll throw this on the back burner for about a month, then when I'm done cooking the other stories, I'll throw this story on the front again. Again, one month. I'm not going to forget this. Unlike other authors, I don't leave stories half-done (Yes, even Right Back Where We Started, I'll finish that, I promise) and I'll be back before you know it. Shameless shout out, follow me so you can read my other stories and check out my youtube channel. Yes, I have a youtube channel.
