"Those two followed me all the way here, did they? Doesn't matter; no matter what, they are both going to die. And just to be sure, I have a backup plan. One no one could expect." Sunburst's voice said. On screen was a single teenage boy, one who looked a lot like Sunset's human form, but obviously masculine.

NOW CONTINUING THE SPECIAL EPISODE OF MY LITTLE PONY: WHEN FRIENDSHIP SHIMMERS

The following day was just more Twilight and Sunset helping the human versions of their friends open up more towards others. And it was getting noticed.

Though there was an encounter near the end of the day between Twilight and Flash.

"You know, wherever it is you're from, I may think of asking my father if perhaps, he'd be okay with me moving there. You are one-of-a-kind Twilight Sparkle. And my father met my mother in high school, if you can believe that." Flash Sentry said.

"Actually, now that I think about it, my own parents were right around that same age when they first met." Twilight Sparkle said.

"That's quite the coincidence, thing is, I don't believe in those. I believe that there are things beyond our control, that destiny always has some hand in getting us where we need to go; sometimes even causing one to meet their soul mate." Flash Sentry said. Twilight for a moment, could feel her heartbeat for a bit.

That...was like something straight out of a book. Twilight thought to herself.

"I know one thing about you Twilight Sparkle: I would give anything for you. You are a special girl." Flash Sentry said. Twilight felt herself blush.

"Well...you could say that. I'm just...not sure if you'd want to be with me if you knew what I really was." Twilight said. "In fact, it might make it harder for us to be together..." Twilight said.

"I'm never one to dwell on apperences or one's own backstory. To me, what's important is how someone acts, how someone is. And you, Twilight Sparkle, are no doubt someone with incredible talent." Flash Sentry said. Twilight could feel her heart racing.

"Well...tomorrow after the Fall Formal, I do have to head back to where I was but..." Twilight began.

"Then I'll follow you. I'm sure my dad will understand. I feel a connection with you, Twilight Sparkle, one I've never felt with anyone else before." Flash Sentry said. Twilight couldn't help but blush harder.

"We...haven't really known each other for that long. Are you sure about that?" Twilight asked.

"Never before have I been so sure of myself." Flash Sentry said. "And don't try to convince me otherwise. I can be pretty darn stubborn after all." Flash Sentry said. "You are like some kind of Princess, and they say every Princess needs her Prince." He added. Twilight once again felt her heartbeat for a bit.

This has suddenly gone to being even better than any romance novel I've ever read. Twilight thought to herself.

"By the way, I see you're a bit of a book enthusiast. I pegged you for the type. That's fine. I too enjoy a good book every now and then." Flash Sentry said. Twilight's eyes went wide.

"You...enjoy reading?" Twilight asked.

"Of course I do. I just don't do it often. My studies keep me from reading a whole bunch. If I want to be a top officer of the law like my dad, I need to keep my studies up." Flash Sentry said. "Them's the breaks of following your own dreams sometimes." He added. "And I'm positive, I'll find some way to keep that dream alive no matter where I have to follow you to." The teenage boy added.

"Following your dreams..." Twilight noted, a bit under her breath.

"I better let you go. See you after you win." Flash Sentry said.

Meanwhile, a lone teenage boy was listening in on that conversation.

"Interesting. Plans have officially changed." The boy said before leaving.

The next day was the Fall Formal.

"No sign of Sunburst..." Sunset said.

"Maybe he decided to give up?" H Applejack said.

"I got a bad feeling about this..." Sunset said. Soon votes were being tallied.

"I haven't seen Flash either. Where is he?" Twilight asked.

"It's not like him to want to miss this." H Rainbow Dash said. "I'm with Sunset, something just does not feel right." She added.

"We have the results. The winner by a landslide is Twilight Sparkle!" Principle Celestia said.

"Way to go Twilight!" H Applejack said.

"I'm afraid you won't have long to enjoy your victory." A male voice said.

"Sunburst." Sunset said. Soon the mysterious boy came in, before suddenly taking out a tied up Flash Sentry from a bag.

"FLASH!" Twilight said.

"Stop right there. If anyone dares try anything, I won't hesitate to hurt the Star of Canterlot High." The boy said.

"Sunburst, why are you doing this? What ever happened to you that made you like this?" Sunset asked.

"You of all people should know that, dear sister." Sunburst said.

"Sunset is that guy's sister?" H Rarity asked.

"But they are nothing alike at all." H Fluttershy said.

"What's that supposed to mean brother?" Sunset asked.

"You still don't get it do you? My entire life, I've had to live in your shadow. When you left to become the sun princess's pupil, and I wanted to pursue doing magic my way. But mother never understood that. She assumed I wanted to be just as good as you, if not better. I never wanted that. Everyone keeps having these assumptions of me. Well, I'm sick and tired of it!" Sunburst said. "So, Twilight Sparkle, if you want your boyfriend unharmed, you will give me that crown. Otherwise, he's in for a world of heart. Damn the consequences, because once I have that crown, both this world and the world beyond will belong to me. And there's nothing you can do to stop me." He explained.

"Your blackmailing Twilight?" Sunset asked.

"I will always get what I want, and what I want is revenge. The ultimate revenge!" Sunburst said.

"You want my crown Sunburst? You can have it." Twilight said.

"Twilight?" Sunset questioned.

"Trust me." Twilight said.

"Excellent. Hand it here." Sunburst said. Twilight gladly did so and then untied Flash Sentry.

"I got careless. But did you really have to do that?" Flash Sentry asked.

"Now with this, I can rule over both the human world and the other one too!" Sunburst said before putting on the crown. Suddenly, he transformed into some kind of Demon.

"He's become some kind of demon!" H Pinkie Pie said.

"Twilight, was that really the only way?" Flash Sentry asked.

"It may only have been a short while but...I guess you could say I've devoloped just as much of a crush on you as you did me." Twilight said.

"I'm feeling generous, so I'll let you two love birds share one kiss before I really get started." Sunburst said.

One kiss is all I'll need, if this is right. Twilight said.

"He's gone on a power trip. But thank you, Twilight Sparkle." Flash Sentry said.

"Just kiss me already." Twilight said. The two of them kissed and then suddenly, things started happening to Sunset and the human versions of the other elements.

"Wha-what's going on?!" Sunburst asked as all of them were being magically altered, in fact Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle were too. "What's happening?!" Sunburst said. Soon, Sunset gained some sort of horn as did H Rarity; H Rainbow Dash, H Fluttershy, and Flash Sentry got wings; and finally with Twilight, she got both a horn and wings. Even though H Applejack and H Pinkie Pie remained unchanged, the two of them could still float.

"NOW THIS IS AWESOME!" H Rainbow Dash said. As Flash ended the kiss, he knew what was going on. Twilight just smiled.

"Sunburst, you may have my crown, but it is nothing compared to the magic of friendship and the ties of love." Twilight Sparkle said.

"Friendship? Please. It's just a word." Sunburst said.

"Actually I hate to bring it to you, but even here in the human world, one thing is still constant." Twilight said. "FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC!" She added before suddenly a rainbow laser fired upon Sunburst, stripping him of his demon form.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Sunburst yelled out.

Twilight had made the decision for Sunburst to learn friendship from the ground up, and thus left the human versions of Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy in charge of that.

Flash wanted to go with Twilight, but she told him she'd find a way to visit him. So now, she and Sunset were back in Equestria and the Crystal Empire.

"...I see. I didn't think Sunburst had gotten so cold. I hope that that world can help him go back to the way he used to be. For both Sunset and Starlight Glimmer." Princess Celestia said.

"I know I basically made a royal call, but I felt it was better this way." Twilight said.

"You did the right thing Twilight." Sunset said. "That Flash Sentry guy was right, you do tend to always do the right thing." She added.

"Flash Sentry huh? Did my little sis end up meeting a special somepony in that other world?" Shining Armor asked.

"Now Shining..." Cadence said.

"Hey, I won't judge. I just hope that whoever he is, he better not break your heart, Twily." Shining Armor said.

"Heh heh, yeah. Or else he'll have both a surrogate sister and a biological brother on hooves to deal with, not to mention five other mares who'll teach him not to do it ag--" Sunset was saying when the portal began to shine again like it did when the Sun Students came through.

"What's going on now?!" Twilight exclaimed. Suddenly, out from the portal came an orange Pegasus.

"It...can't be..." Sunset said. "Flash Sentry?!" She exclaimed.

"Um...hi?" Flash Sentry asked, a bit puzzled.

"...This is going to take some explaining on both ends, isn't it?" Twilight asked.

"We're going to be here a while, aren't we?" Sunset asked.

To Be Concluded...
