Chapters The Story of Queen Opaline and who she could be
I am so excited! You probably want to know why, don't you? Well, today my family will be going from our home in the Crystal Empire, to Canterlot, and why, you ask?
"Skyla", my mother snaps me out of my thoughts, "We're here!".
Flurry and I rush to the window of the train and witness the beautiful city of Canterlot, its houses, and shops and cafes, all 'divine', as my aunt's friend, Rarity, would say.
"Hey, Skyla!", Flurry calls me over, I trot over to her and Dad.
"Who do you think will be Aunt Twilight's heir?", she asks, "I think it'll be Luster Dawn, and Dad thinks it'll be Mother. Who do you think it'll be?".
"Well, there are high chances that it's me, because you're in line to rule the Crystal Empire, and Mom is already ruling the Crystal Empire, so...". Flurry seems content with that answer.
Dad is knocking the large, grand doors of Canterlot, guarded by, well, guards. The guards somehow have the strength to open them and still guide us through the castle.
Mom replies, "I totally agree with you there, dear. Luster has been struggling with those new wings of hers!".
"Why, Shining Armour, Cadence, Flurry Heart and Skyla!", she says, "Welcome back to Canterlot!".
"Aunt Twilight! I've missed you so much!", she tells her, before rushing to Luster.
"Luster, how are the new wings?", she asks.
"Hey, Flurry Heart! The new wings are working alright?", Luster tells her.
I tell her that I'm enjoying it. Aunt Twilight smiles and says: "Shall we go outside, on the balcony? Spike is waiting for us as we speak.".

Again, this is based off my theory that Queen Opaline COULD be Princess Skyla. It may not be true, but, oh well. :)
The Story of Queen Opaline and who she could be
I keep running until I am out of the castle because I need air after what I just heard. Aunt Twilight considers me evil, but I'm not. Why would she say that? There could be only one reason for this; Aunt Twilight thinks nothing of me. She considers me selfish, but I'm not. "Skyla! Wait!". That's Luster's voice. I turn around and see my good friend flying towards me.
"Skyla, please don't leave! I'm sorry!", she cries. She also has tears in her eyes as she crashes in front of me.
"You didn't do anything, Luster. There's no need to apologise.", I reassure her.
"I know that, but I just became an alicorn and I never wanted to rule Equestria, I can't even fly properly; I basically stole your dreams!", she cries.
"That isn't true, I'm very happy for you. I'm really sorry I spoiled your moment.", I tell her.
"Don't worry my friend, I understand. This is just too much to bear.", she says to me. She embraces warmly and I return, but it isn't warm. It's a trick, as I make myself an oath of evil, in my mind.
"I, Princess Skyla of the Crystal Empire, pledge to have a cold heart for the rest of my life and feel nothing but resentment to every creature.", I say to myself in my head.
I am contemplating that moment of my good friend and I, many moons ago, as I sit on my throne in the Dark Castle, which was once Canterlot Castle. Just then, I get a call from Misty, via her mirror compact.
"Yes, Misty? What have you found?", I demand her.
“Magic has returned to Equestria like you said.", she says to me as I give an evil grin.
"Excellent! Mwahaha!", I laugh.

Hi, I'm sorry about how the conversation near the end doesn't match with the original on Netflix.
The Story of Queen Opaline and who she could be
A month has gone by and we are back on the train to Canterlot, once again. I am really happy for Luster Dawn, but we all know that she still isn't ready to rule Equestria. As Mom and Dad talk about it, I'm staring out of the window, and Flurry is lost in her own ditzy thoughts.
"Yeah, it's so confusing, we all know that Twily means well, but I'm not sure what that 'well' is.", Dad agrees.
They continue discussing it, when Flurry starts talking to me.
"I'm fine, just wondering about how this isn't my coronation just because Aunt Twilight thinks I'm 'evil'.", I reply. Flurry gives me a sad smile.
"Well, you're not 'evil', Skyla. You're quite the opposite actually! You are perfect and pure, always looking out for other ponies. No matter what anyone says, especially Aunt Twilight, I think you're perfect.", she tells me.
But she is still nothing compared to my hidden evil...
I am still sitting on my throne, waiting for Misty to return back. Instead of spying on the pathetic little ponies in Maretime Bay, I am lost in my thoughts thinking about my sister, who I miss and love. I miss the old days where we were playing together in the Crystal Palace as small fillies, her being ditzy getting the better of her. It bugged me all the time then, but now, I miss it terribly. Just then, I hear the door creaking.
"Misty must be back.", I think to myself.
As she creeps into my throne room, I stand up and spread my wings.
"Welcome back, so, what have you found?".
The Story of Queen Opaline and who she could be
The train has finally arrived at Canterlot. Before we get off, Mom pulls me aside and gives me a pep talk.
"Gets crowned", I think to myself. Why do those words fill me with such sadness and jealousy?
"Don't worry, Mother. I'm completely fine with Luster Dawn being coronated. I don't know what came over to me last month.", I reply.
"Hey, guys. I don't mean to ruin the moment, but we should get going! Aunt Twilight is waiting for us at the castle.", says Flurry. We all get off the train and as it leaves, I suddenly want to go home already. I can tell that this'll be the worst night of my life!
"Well, Skyla, you just have to get through the night. Even if you are jealous", I think. Just then, I remembered the oath I made to myself last month. Tonight is the perfect night to start on that oath; I must prepare myself for evil and I think I know how...
After Misty has told me everything about her little adventure, I am glad and immediately activate my magic water to see what's going on in the Brighthouse. But as soon as Sunny Starscout walks inside, I suddenly get a view outside of the Brighthouse.
"No, what happened?!", I yell furiously.
"Well, the mirror compact must not work inside the Brighthouse, Opaline.", Misty suggests.
"You're right, Misty. I guess I'll have to send one of my allies to Maretime Bay, to spy on those pathetic little ponies.", I say.
"Maybe I could go back to Maretime Bay for you?", asks Misty, giving me a smile that implies that she wants to go. I roll my eyes and reply;
"Perhaps, Misty, perhaps.", I tell her. "I'll have a think about it, my dear minion. It's not like you'll ruin the plan!".
"If you're going to do a maniacal laugh with me, Misty, at least be in sync.", I tell her. "Ready? Now, mwahahahah!".
We laugh again, and Misty is now in sync.

Again, I know the conversation between Opaline and Misty isn't accurate.
The Story of Queen Opaline and who she could be
"Wow, Luster. You look amazing!", cries Flurry Heart.
"Thanks, Flurry!", Luster blushes.
"The dress is beautiful, my friend.", I say sarcastically. Mother gives me a dirty look and pulls me aside.
"Did you seriously just forget our talk on the train, Skyla?", she demands, quietly, of course. I stare at her blankly and say;
"No, I didn't, Mother.".
She drags me back to Flurry and Luster, pretending nothing had happened.
"Hey, Twilight!", Mom calls her over.
" 'Sunshine sunshine, ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and give a little shake!' ", they sing together.
" Hi Auntie!", calls Flurry Heart.
"Why Flurry Heart my dear, how are you?", Aunt Twilight asks. Flurry tells her that she's good and really excited for the coronation. I wish I was excited too. Well, time to get to work on being evil now.
I walk away from everyone and start tainting the minds of everypony attending the coronation via their dreams. First up, Luster Dawn's parents; Sunburst and Starlight Glimmer.
"Hi, Starlight and Sunburst. How are you?", I ask them, before convincing them that Luster is a bad pony. Then I do it to her other friends, then to everyone who'll be attending the coronation until they're all tainted. I don't bother with tainting Aunt Twilight's friends, the Mane 6.
"Excellent, everything is going to plan!", I think to myself as I return to the real world, where almost no one will attend Luster's coronation. The old me would feel bad doing this, but that 'Princess Skyla', is gone. This is the new Skyla, a queen in my own mind and soon, all of Equestria.
The End...

The Story of Queen Opaline and who she could be
We make our way onto the balcony, the same one where Aunt Twilight was crowned as ruler. Spike, her dragon friend, is waiting for us.
"Hi, Spike!", we reply.
"Spike, take a letter.", Aunt Twilight tells him.
"With pleasure, Twilight.", he replies.
" 'Dearest subjects of Equestria, I am delighted to inform you all that I have decided who my heir will be. She is a lovely and firm pony, who will know what to do when times will be tough. Please may I introduce my heir, my former student, Princess Luster Dawn!' ".
"Should I send it now, Twilight?", Spike asks my aunt.
"Yes, please do, Spike.", she tells him. He took a deep breath and he blew out a green fire, that made the scroll disappear.
"Wait, what? But, she just became a princess", I blurt out. "What's going on?". Aunt Twilight and Spike exchange nervous looks. Everyone is surprised, even Luster Dawn!
"We should tell you the truth; Twilight, would you do the honours?", says Spike.
"Let's go inside, Skyla. I'm sorry I never told you sooner.", says Aunt Twilight.
Everyone went inside, back in the throne room. "So, what aren't you telling me?", I demand.
"Well, you're considered, the 'wrong hooves', let's say. I have a feeling, that you won't use the powers of an alicorn responsibly. Basically, you would use it for your own selfish purposes.".
"Seriously?!", I tell her, "How could you think that of me? How does she get all of that power?".
"Luster is mature enough to know what to do!", she simply says.
"I hate you!", I whisper. I run out of the throne room, with tears in my eyes.
