Here's what Twilight looks like in this Alternate Universe in her Human Form.

Chapter 1: Canterlot High School and Meeting Sour Sweet, Lemon and Sugarcoat

Dizzy from the Journey across worlds, Sunset blacked out after landing she felt sore after hitting the concrete very hard upon landing.

“Sunset...”

She heard a familiar Muffled voice calling her name but her ears kept ringing like she had tinnitus. “Ugh... Who’s there...?” Sunset Groaned

“Uh, Sunset”. The voice slowly became more clearer by the second and now knew who exactly it was.

“uh? Garble! You're not supposed to– “ She stopped after she got a clear glance at her Dragon but he wasn’t a Dragon here instead he was a different Creature. “Garble? Are you a... dog?”. her eyes Scrunched after looking at him for a good minute.

Sunset watched as Garble was now a Red dog with yellow ears and an Orange tuft on his head and baring his Purple eyes.

“ I... think so”. The dog said in Garble’s Voice (Spike’s Voice actually). “But I have no idea what you are!”. Garble said after looking at Sunset.

“Huh?”. She raised her brow after what Garble said then she Raised her Forehooves but... they weren’t hooves Instead what Sunset saw looked like Garble’s Claws back in Equestria but not with the long nails on the end instead she had Hands and her coat was gone instead she had Hairless Skin with the color of her coat replacing them.

Upon Realizing that Sunset’s Body was not Her body, Sunset’s Mind went from Muted to Completely Overwhelmed in a split second and she led out an Uncontrollable scream of Horror.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”.

Before having the strength to cover her mouth. She looked at her new limbs and moved her fingers at the end of her hands which used to be Hooves. She didn’t like the movement because this felt very Unnatural to her and the wiggling looked strange almost Unsightly to look at. She looked down at herself and she saw a new set of clothes and a skirt barring her Cutie mark back in Equestria.

“Sunset, you have to get it together!”. Garble said looking worried at the reaction of Sunset looking at her body.

Sunset quickly got back together and put her hands into a fist and sat like a pony. “[sigh] What... does the rest of me look like?”.

Garble quickly looked at her a lot examining what she had looked like. “I can’t... describe it... Um, like you. Only not you”. then he quickly glanced at Sunset again and saw that her muzzle shrunk a lot and looked like his nose back when he was a Dragon in Equestria. “ Your muzzle's really small.”

“My muzzle?!”. Sunset yelled and boop it she quickly began to panic again! and was about to scream but then Garble quickly covered her mouth before she let out another scream of horror. “Are you gonna scream again?”. Sunset quickly shook her head.

“Where are we?”. Garble said examining their surroundings. they also noticed that the Sun was up and there were lots of creatures walking around Shouldn’t they be sleeping it's the middle of the day! Sunset thought. Hmmm Maybe day and night are the opposite in this world boy do I have to get used to that!

“I don't know. But that must serve as the gateway back to Equestria”. She said pointing at the statue and putting her hand in it then shook her head again. “We need to find my crown as soon as possible and get back there. I suggest we start searching the castle first.” Garble looked at the “Castle” but it kinda looked a bit strange for a castle but he shrugged it off. “Works for me.” he got on Sunset’s back like he always does and they ran towards the “Castle”

After walking for a bit they got odd looks from others then they passed by someone with a dog standing on both legs and Garble patted Sunset’s back getting her attention and pointing at the man and dog who both looked back.

“Yeah, I don't think that's how the new you are supposed to–”. Then Sunset quickly gets up and waves to the guy who shrugged it off and continues walking with his dog. Sunset on the other hand had difficulty walking on both legs as she is not familiar with walking on them unlike walking on all 4s in equestrian.

“Whooaaa... Whoa! Ooh... [laughs nervously]”. Sunset yelps then she grabs a hold of some metal bars on a staircase that led to the entrance “Come on Garble. I do not wanna be like this for longer than I have to.” She said still holding on to the metal bars.

“Well, look on the bright side. You don't have those pesky wings to worry about anymore.” Garble said before Sunset angrily looked at him. and he gives out a nervous smile.

After reaching the door she makes a face that seems like she is using her magic like in Equestria. She tries to go in but when she attempts to she slams Face-First into the door. shaking her head and trying again but nothing happens...

“[gasps] My magic! It isn't working!”. She said looking down at Garble

“Makes sense. You don't exactly have your horn.” He said looking up

“ What?!”. she said Grabbing her Hair trying to find it but he was right she had no horn at all it’s like she was an Earth Pony back in Equestria.

“We really need to find you a mirror,” Garble said then Opens the door and the 2 went in and examined the Interior. Sunset spots some Pedestals on her right with some trophies on them and they examine them.

“What do you think Garble?”. She asked. “Other artifacts she’s stolen from Equestria?”. then she looks at the Artifacts and spots her reflection and she gasped at her reflection. “What... am I?”.

All of a Sudden a bell rings and Other Creatures that looked similar to Sunset Entered the room. In fact, there were So! many that she had a difficult time getting out. She bumped into a lot of people before she rolls out of the crowd and she bumps into a boy with blue hair which oddly looked familiar.

“ Whoa.” He speaks up and Extends his arms toward her. “You ok?”. Sunset grabs his hand with a fist... then she realizes that she has to extend it first so she did and gets up nods at the boy and walks away.

“Yeah... I don't think this is a Castle Sunset.” Garble speaks up

A Strange New World by Sunset Shimmer

I've never seen a place
That's quite like this
Everything is turned around
This crazy world is upside-down

Getting on my feet
It's the hand that I was dealt
But I don't have much time with them
Got to learn all that I can

They don't use any magic or fly with any wings
I don't get these funny clothes, skinny legs or tiny nose
Everything's confusing when it seems so new
But I look a little closer and it starts to feel familiar too

What a strange new world (what a strange new world)
I'm trying to make heads or tails of this strange new world (what a strange new world)
Sorting through the small details of this strange new world

What a strange new world

Sunset and Garble continue to walk around the hallways looking at other students although Sunset has no idea where she was going in this new world.

Suddenly she hears a voice that sounds familiar she peaks around the corner and sees a Lavender and gold girl although the gold one seemed a bit scared.

“Oh, I'm really sorry. I-I just found it, and-and I thought I should give it to her. I didn't know you had dropped it.” said the Girl with the gold Skin and freckles.

“ Well, I did! And I was about to get it before you swooped in and ruined everything! You shouldn't pick up things that don't belong to you.” said the Lavender girl yelling at her.

“t... doesn't really belong to you, either.” the other girl said quietly

“Excuse me?!”.

“N-n-nothing...”

“That's what I thought. It's as good as mine, and you know it. You really are pathetic. It's no wonder your best friends are all stray animals.” the lavender girl said pointing at her.

At this point, Sunset couldn’t stand this situation. How dare that Lavender girl yells at her like that for just stealing something and being such a bully!

“ How dare you speak to her that way!”. Sunset said stepping up for the girl.

The Purple haired Girl heard what she said and turned around. “What did you say?”.

“I said, "How dare you speak to her that way!". She yelled back

The Two looked at each other for a bit before the Purple haired girl smirked and put her finger under Sunset’s chin and flicks it up. “ You must be new here. I can speak to anyone any way I want,” she said walking away and looking at a nerd who quickly hid himself in a locker.

“ I can't believe you did that!”. The rose-haired Girl speaks up and looked at sunset Bewildered by what she had done.

“ I couldn't just stand there,” Sunset said looking back at the rosed-haired girl.

“ Well, it's just that nobody ever stands up to Twilight Sparkle”.

“Twilight Sparkle?!”. Sunset said looking back and seeing that Twilight had walked away.

“You’ve heard of her?”.

“Sort of...”

“ I don't think I've seen you around before. Did you just transfer to Canterlot High from another school?”. The rose-haired girl asked Sunset.

“Um...” Sunset had to think of an Excuse but she couldn’t make one so she had to go with her Gut instincts. “yes! Another... heh, school! My name's Sunset.” Dammit that was Terrible! she thought.

“Im... Sour Sweet.” The girl said in a whisper.

“Sorry, what was that?”.

“It’s Sour Sweet!”. The Girl said even softer.

“ It sounds like you're saying Sour Sweet, but how can that...?”.

Then Sour Sweet Notices Garble. “Oh, my goodness!”. She ran straight towards Garble and knocked Sunset back a bit. “Who's this sweet little guy?”.

“That's Garble! My, uh... dog!”

“Oh, he's so cute!”. Sour Sweet quickly dig into her Backpack and pulled out a dog biscuit and gave it to him. “Go on, eat up, little pup!”.

At first, Garble looked and smelled the treat after taking a nibble he instantly liked it and chomped down on it.

“Oh, wouldn't ya just give anything to know what they're really thinking?”. Sour Sweet said happily looking at Garble.

“He usually just tells me.”

“Oh, w-what do you mean?”. Sour Sweet looked back at her Confused.

Garble quickly realized what had happened and barked, to avoid blowing their cover.

“Oh, uh, nothing! (chuckles) Never mind”. Sunset quickly changed the Subject. “ Twilight said you picked something up. Something that belonged to her. It wasn't a crown, was it?”

“How did you know?”. Sour Sweet asked who looked Confused again.

“Uh, lucky guess? Do you still have it?”.

“Mm-mm.” Sour Sweet shook her head.

“But you know what happened to it.”

“Mm-hmm”. She nodded. “This morning, I was passing out flyers for the animal shelter like I do every Wednesday”

*FLASHHHHHHHHHHBACKKKKKKKKKKKKK!*

“Canterlot's animal shelter needs more volunteers. Won't you help an animal that can't help itself?”.

But no one was taking any flyers. Sour Sweet just sat on the ground and whimpered for a few seconds then suddenly something hit her on the back of the head.

“Ow!”. she yelped picking up the crown.

*End of Flashback*

“I have no idea how it got there. But I didn't want anything to happen to it, so I decided to give it to Principal Luna.” Sour Sweet said while petting Garble.

“Principal Luna? She's the ruler here?”. Sunset asked

“you could say that. Technically, I guess she and Vice Principal Celestia do make the rules.”. she said confused

“So where is she now?”. Sunset asked

“She is probably in her office it’s the third door on your left.” Sour Sweet said

Sunset quickly ran to her office but before she could

“Oh, wait!” she yelled getting Sunset’s attention and she turns around. “You're not really supposed to have pets on school grounds. Might wanna tuck him into your backpack. That's what I do.” she whispers before 3 animals pop out of her bag which is a bunny a bird and a cat. “They just get so lonely when I'm in school all day.” she picks them up but then all of a sudden the school bell rings and Sour Sweet’s eyes widened. “Oh no! I'm late for class! Bye Sunset and thanks for standing up for me!” she yelled before running to her next class.

“You're welcome!” Sunset yelled as she headed towards the Principal’s Office

*knock knock knock knock*

“Come in.” a familiar voice said as Sunset opened the door... Using her head.

“How may I help you?” Principal Luna said

After Sunset came into the room and just smiled at Principal Luna for a few seconds. Luna looked at her confused. “Are you here to ask a question?”. Sunset shook her head and then put her backpack on the ground

“Um, uh... Whew. My name's Sunset Shimmer. I-I'm new here, and... Well, I understand that Sour Sweet found a crown this morning and gave it to you.”

“Yes”. Principal Luna said while nodding. “I've had Vice Principal Celestia put it somewhere for safekeeping. No idea how it ended up on the front lawn. Were you interested in running for Princess of the Fall Formal this year?”.

“Uh, no. Not exactly. The truth is... Well, the truth is I... You see, the crown is actually...” Then Sunset realized what Principal Luna just said. “ Princess of the Fall Formal?”. Sunset asked confused.

“ It's Canterlot High's big Fall dance.”

“Like the Great Galloping Gala!”. Sunset excitedly said.

“Great Galloping Gala?”. Principal Luna said Confused looking at Sunset.

“Oh, uh, it was a big deal at my old school,” Sunset said trying not to get caught

“ And was there a princess?”

“Yes, but she wasn't exactly a student.”

Sunset looks at the wall on the other side and she sees pictures of Twilight with a crown and being the princess of the fall formal every year.

“I see...” she stares at Sunset “Here at Canterlot High, the students select one of their peers to represent them. She receives her crown at the Fall Formal.”

Sunset thinks for a moment as she goes to the exit and grabbing for her backpack

“hmmm.... You asked me if I was Interested in Running for Princess can anyone run?”.

“Yes. You just need to let the head of the Fall Formal planning committee know you'd like to be on the ballot. Was there anything else?” Principal Luna said as she is about to close the door.

“Um, nope! That was it!”. Sunset said Smiling nervously

“Well, if you do need anything else, my door is always open.” Principal Luna smiled as she closed the door fully.

“ Sunset, why didn't ya just tell her the crown was yours and ask for it back?” Garble said as he looked at Sunset.

“ Oh, I was going to, but imagine if one of them showed up in Equestria saying they came from a place filled with tall, fleshy, two-legged creatures with these? We'd think they were crazy!” Sunset Yelled not knowing a nerd was behind her hearing the entire conversation.

“ Hmm... I guess You make a good point.” He said also not knowing someone was behind them.

“Looks like if I want my crown back, I'll have to become Princess of the Canterlot High Fall Formal. So that's what I'm gonna do!” Sunset yelled while smiling.

“And how exactly do you plan on doing that?” Garble asked.

“I have no idea!”

Then once again The Bell rang and Sunset quickly hid herself from the crowd.

During Lunch period Sunset Enters the Cafeteria and she spots Sour Sweet grabbing some food she decides to do the same thing and she grabs the same food she’s grabbing.

“Hey! I know we just met”. Sunset tells Sour Sweet while grabbing her food. “but I was wondering if you’d like to help me with something”.

“Of course!”. Sour Sweet Replied while grabbing some Salad and Sunset did the same.

“I’ve decided to run for Princess of the Fall Formal and-”. Before Sunset could finish her sentence Sour Sweet gasped and drops her salad in shock and staining Sunset’s Clothes.

“Oh jeez!”. Sour Sweet yelled Grabbing a bunch of napkins and quickly Cleaning Sunset’s clothes. “Im so sorry! It’s just that... Running for Fall Formal Princess is a Very bad Idea!”.

“whys that?”. Sunset Replied while Sour Sweet is cleaning her.

“Twilight Sparkle wants to be Fall Formal Princess, and when she wants something, She gets It!”. Sour Sweet yelled softly while they headed towards a table. “Whenever someone tries to run against Twilight she Humiliates them in front of everyone and she always wins by default!”. Sunset’s eyes widened at what she was hearing.

“At first she acts so nice to her opponents but that's just the first part after that she acts extremely mean and cruel and she doesn't care if her actions hurt anyone that's just how she is! just ask the girl who ran against her for Princess of the Spring Fling”. Sour Sweet says as both of them find their table and eat their food.

“I have to try!”. Sunset yells while both of them are eating

“Oh, I don't think you understand. You'd have to convince everyone here to vote for you instead of her: the athletes, the fashionistas, the dramas, the eco-kids, the techies, the rockers...” After explaining the different groups Sunset is oddly confused on why everyone is so apart from each other.

“Why is Everypony--”. Garble slaps Sunset on the back of the head while Sour Sweet looks at her confused. “Uh... Everybody! separated this way?”.

“Maybe it was different at your old school, but at CHS, everybody sticks to their own kind. One thing that they do have in common is that they know Sunset Shimmer is gonna rule the school until we graduate.” Sour Sweet said while looking down and eating her food.

“Not if I can help it!”. Sunset said before slamming her head on the table to take a bite of her apple and chewing it. Sour Sweet’s eyes widened at what Sunset just did and looked at her Confused.

Sunset quickly realized what she did and quickly adjusted giggling nervously. “So uh... Where can I find the Head of the Party Planning Committee?”.

there was no one Inside the Gym since the Fall Formal will be held inside the Gym. it was Quickly emptied in order to decorate it.

After Opening the doors Sunset saw that the room was already decorated a lot along with tables and balloons and streamers on top.

Then all of a Sudden Sunset hears a voice yell. “INCOMING!”

Sunset looks up and sees a Bunch of Streamers falling toward her. She quickly ducks from the falling decorations and they cover her entire body. She looks up to see where it came from and she sees a Pink Girl with lime Green hair blowing up some balloons. she walks up to her and introduces herself.

“Hi, my name is Sunset Shimmer, and-”. But when the Girl turns around Sunset immediately recognized who it was. “Lemon Zest?’.

After hearing her name she let go of the balloon and it deflated in her hair. after that, Lemon grabbed Sunset by the arms and pulled her close... From behind. “ [gasps] Are you psychic?!”.

“Uh, no. I don't think so. Unless of course, that's something you can do here.” Sunset said smiling nervously.

“[Sighs] Not Usually.” Lemon Zest said before Dropping Sunset on the floor.

Sunset quickly gets up and continues her question. “Sour Sweet said this is where I'd find the Head of the Fall Formal Planning Committee.”

After hearing Sour Sweet’s name, however, Lemon’s Eyes and tone quickly changed to an Angry-sounding voice. “Sour Sweet huh? Don’t let the whole “Sweet” thing fool you and that's because she is more “Sour” than “Sweet!”.

After what Lemon Zest said Sunset’s eyes widened on what she had heard. “You Two arent Friends?!”.

Lemon Ignored the Question and slowly walks up to Sunset facing backward. “Waited a bit to get your name on the ballot, huh? Dance is the day after tomorrow.”

“I'm brand new here.”

“Oooh!”. Lemon looked at her for a second and thought for a bit. “ I thought you didn't look familiar. Though, now that I'm really lookin' at you...” Lemon Zest grabbed Sunset’s arms and did a fast examination on her “Do you have a twin sister who lives in the city, has a pet dog named Garble that looks just like that one?” Lemon said while Pointing at Garble.

“Uh, Maybe?”. Sunset replied nervously

“Thought so.” then Lemon pulls a Notebook and Pen out of her hair and continues talking “Anyhoo, just need to fill this out and you are officially up for the coveted Princess of the Fall Formal crown.”

Sunset stares at Lemon for a second who also stared back. Sunset’s first instinct was to grab it using her mouth like she usually does in Equestria when she’s not using magic. but then Sunset realizes Lemon used her hand she started to sweat a lot but she just blinked at her. Sunset grabbed the Pen out of her mouth and began to write using her hand. although her handing writing Sucked... N-no seriously it sucked A**!.

Lemon took only 1 look at the sheet. “Wow! your handwriting looks Horrible! no, seriously this is the worst handwriting I've ever seen! it's like you never held a pen before!/

Sunset laughed and smiled very nervously. “Does it?” she asked.

but then all of a Sudden someone had opened the doors of the gym door Sunset looked at it but couldn’t make out who it was due to her face being blocked by boxes.

“Somebody ordered a Dozen cases of Sparkling Apple Juice?”. The strange Girl said although Sunset recognized the voice.

“Oh, oh, Me, me-me-me, me, yeah, ha-ha, me!” Lemon zest said jumping happily to the girl.

After setting the boxes down the girl adjusted her glasses and hat. and Sunset immediately knew who this was.

“Hey! Can you bring in the rest?”. Asked Sugarcoat.

“Eeyup”. said another boy who she assumed was Big Joe.

after grabbing one of the cases Sugarcoat took one look at Sunset Shimmer. “Hey! I know you!”

“You do?” Sunset asked getting caught by surprise.

“Sure I do!, You’re the new girl who gave Twilight sparkle the what for today,” Sugarcoat said while gulping down some Apple Juice.

“Sunset Shimmer here is going to run against Twilight Sparkle for Princess of the Fall Formal!”. Lemon Zest said while blowing up some balloons.

Sugarcoat’s eyes widened after hearing what Lemon said and she quickly Spit out the Juice that she was drinking.
“I'd think twice about that. Oh, sure, she'll probably approach you all friendly like...” Sugarcoat said before grabbing Lemon zest and drawing on 2 balloons and imitating Twilight and Sunset’s voice.

“(In Twilight’s) I Sure am looking forward to some friendly competition. (In Sunsets) That's so good to hear. (Normal Voice) But then, here comes the backstabbin'.” she said after popping the Sunset balloon.

“About the only Girl, you can trust less than Twilight Sparkle is Indigo Zap”.

“Indigo Zap?”. Sunset said shocked at what Sugarcoat said.

“She is like the Captain of every team at Canterlot High”. Lemon Zest said while Bouncing on a balloon then the balloon pops in the background.

“She's also the captain of saying she's gonna do somethin' for you and then turning around and not even bothering to show up.” Sugarcoat Angrily said before crossing her arms.

“Thanks for the Advice Sugarcoat but this is something I really need to do,” Sunset said while putting an Arm on Sugarcoat’s shoulder.

“huh, Suits yourself”. but then Sugarcoat realized that Sunset had said her name “Hey... How did you know my name is Sugarcoat?”. She said while Suspicously looking at Sunset

“Um, I uh... [nervous laughter] Didn't you say?” Sunset said while nervously laughing and not trying to get caught.

“Nnnope”. Big Joe said while putting in another case of Juice.

“Well, it sure was nice meeting you both. I'm sure I'll be seeing you around.” Sunset said before making a quick run to the exit with Garble behind her.

Both Sugarcoat and Lemon Zest look at Sunset Confused. Then Lemon was the first to speak. “That Girl is trying to hide a secret but I am totally on to her!”. Then she whispers to Sugarcoat. “She’s Psychic!”.

“uh-huh if you say so,” Sugarcoat said looking confused at Lemon Zest.

But then the door was suddenly kicked open by someone. it was Twilight Sparkle and her goons Snip and Snails.

“This looks Terrible!”. Twilight yells after looking at the room. “There should be more streamers near the stage and fewer balloons.” She said and somehow popping both balloons even though she touched one.

“Yeah, Streamers!”. said Snails before ripping a pink streamer.

“And Fewer Balloons!”. Said Snips trying to cut the balloons but he fails and falls on the ground not even popping the balloon.

“Sparkling Apple Juice? Ugh! This is my coronation, Not a Liquor Party!”. She yells before dropping the bottle on the floor and breaking it

“Well, now it’s not gonna necessarily gonna be your coronation this time around,” Sugarcoat said Pointing at Twilight.

“ Oh, is that so?” Twilight looked at Sugarcoat with an Evil stare. “You country folk really aren't that bright.” Twilight said before flipping Sugarcoat’s Hat and placing it on her face and patting it .“Must be why the other students say such awful things about you.” Then Sugarcoat breaks her hat out of anger.

“Obviously it's gonna be my coronation,” Twilight said Proudly “I'm running unopposed,” she said pointing at herself and smiling.

“Not this time!” Lemon said as she took out the Sign up sheet. “The new Girl Sunset Shimmer just signed up!”. she said smiling.

“What?!”. Twilight yelled before Lemon handed her the sheet she took 1 good look at it and she gained an evil smile. “Where is this Sunset Shimmer?”. but then the others gave her an odd look then she just smiled. “Im looking forward to meeting the competition!”. she said in a nice voice but Sugarcoat and Lemon Zest knew she was being sarcastic.

In the hallway, Sunset was just walking around not knowing where to go next then she comes across a dead end with a broken light that is flickering.

“Can't believe I didn't recognize you earlier.” A familiar voice said. Turning around Sunset sees Twilight just staring at her “Shoulda known Princess Luna would send her prized pupil here after my crown, and her little dog, too.”

“It's my crown!” Sunset said angrily looking at Twilight.

“Whatever. This is just a minor setback for me. You don't know the first thing about this place, and I already rule it.” Twilight said walking up to Sunset while Smirking.

“ If that's so, why do you even need my crown? You went to an awful lot of trouble to switch it with the one that belongs here.” Sunset said while still staring at Twilight.

“Pop quiz: what happens when you bring an Element of Harmony into an alternate world?”. Sunset tried to answer but though she didn't know what would happen.

“You don't know? Seriously?” Twilight said while laughing at Sunset “And you're supposed to be Princess Luna's star student? Then again, what were the chances she'd find some pony as bright as me to take under her wing after I decided to leave Equestria? how embarrassing that you were the best pony she could find.” After finishing her sentence Garble growls at her angrily.

“Oh, and I’d keep an eye on your Mutt! I hate for him to be... taken away from you.” Twilight said with an evil smile on her face.

“Is that a threat?”. Garble said with his paw looking like a fist.

“Oh of Course not-”. But Garble Interrupted Twilight by Barking at her. Twilight puts a finger on his mouth “But I'd cut down on the chatter if I were you. Don't want everyone to know you two don't belong here, now would you? You wanna be a princess here? Please. You don't know the first thing about fitting in.” She said before leaving.

The two just stared at her but then the light above them broke and the corner became fully dark.

As Twilight walks around the hallways after threatening Sunset she sees her goons covered in streamers. She gives them a facepalm before quickly removing the streamers from them.

“I want you to go follow this Sunset shimmer”. She asked. “Bring me something I can use just like I did with that last girl who thought she could challenge me.”

The two boys gave her a salute. “You got it Twilight Sparkle”.

“ When the crown and its power are mine, Sunset Shimmer will be sorry she ever set hoof into this world. Not that she would've been much safer if she'd stayed in Equestria.” Twilight said while monologing to herself

But then she hears the two boys behind her. “Yeah in Equestria”.

“What are you still doing here?!”. She angrily yells at them. “Go!”. she points to the hallway then the 2 boys bumped into each other before moving on.

While In the hallway, Sunset starts to feel hungry but then she spots a Vending machine with lots of food inside but since these don't exist in Equestria she doesn't know what to do. At first, she tried to push it but failed. then she tried to pull it which also fail. her last ditch effort was to kick it like a horse but before she could a pale light Lavender girl walks up to her looking confused.

“Excuse me...” she takes 1 look at the vending machine. “The Great and Powerful Starlight!... Needs some Jelly Bread.” she takes out a coin and picks up the jelly bread.

“Voilà!” Starlight said proudly before eating the bread”.

Sunset looks down with a sad look on her face as she continued to walk down. “Hey, what's wrong Sunset?”. Garble said looking concerned. “Twilight is right Garble. I don't know the first thing about this place. If I'm gonna really fit in and win votes, we need to do some research.”

“Research?’.

“Yep! If this place has a school I believe it’s got a...” but then she finds the thing she is looking for. “Library!”. Without hesitation, Sunset quickly ran inside the library and sat down in 1 of the chairs. But she didn't see that snips and snails were right behind the doors though they were glass so I guess she is just blind.

“Got your phone?”.

Snips quickly pull out a phone of his own. “Got yours?”.

“Yep!”. both of them sneakily snip and snailed their way into the library to capture footage for twilight

Sunset looked at the computer while she was on the desk then she looks at her hands and then back onto the computer.

“So...I just push the letters here, and then the words and moving pictures will come up here?”. She said while typing on the keyboard actually she’s punching it. “yes that's right”. Librarian Cheerilee said being annoyed by Sunset because she is damaging school property,

“Maybe this place does have magic.”

But then she hears some loud music in the background she sees 3 girls who look just like the CMC back in Equestria (alright I decided to make Silver Spoon Applebloom because she looks similar to Sugarcoat and Diamond Tiara as Sweetie Belle and Bab Seeds as Scootaloo why bab seeds? because she is the closest we got yes I know it's similar to the FIM one just with silver spoon instead of diamond as an apple bloom but this story is for entertainment now let's just move on).

“No, just... no!” Cheerillee said angrily as she turned off the CMC’s music. “the school computers are for research purposes only.”

“It's just as well, y'all. Some of the comments about our song were really awful. "Epic fail"... "Funniest thing I've ever seen"?!”. Silver Spoon said while reading through the comments.

“Funniest thing they've ever seen, huh?”. Diamond Tiara added then they all had an idea.

“Uh... I don’t know that that's what you should take from...” Sunset Couldn’t finish her sentence as the CMC already left. she shrugged it off as she continued to punch the keyboard not knowing that snips and snails are still recording her

While in the library Sunset was holding a huge pile of books but then she slipped and dropped them yelling as she fell down. Cheerilee shushed her as this is a library. while snips and snails continue to record her. She tries to pick up the books but she used her mouth. Garble corrects her by pointing at her limbs as she spits out the book she was holding.

Then she looks at a printer and tries to figure out how to use it. but then she accidentally presses the copy image button and the bright light caused her to fly up and smash into a pile of books. as Snips and Snails continue to laugh at her while recording her.

Voice on P.A. system: “The library will be closing in five minutes”

Sunset finally wakes up from her nap then she realized something. “[Gasp] I hadn't even thought about where we're gonna sleep tonight!” she looks down under the table while Garble is reading a book.

“Way ahead of you!” he said proudly as Sunset followed her to a different location of the library. then she sees a makeshift bed that Garble had made.

“ It's a little [cough, cough] dusty. But it doesn't seem like anybody comes up here,”. he said as he removed the blanket from the bed.

Sunset smiled as she lay down on the book bed. “It’s Perfect Garble”. she said while giving Garble a belly rub.

“So, how did your research go?”. Garble asked.

“ I found this book. It's called a yearbook. It seems to be something they use to keep a record of things that have happened at the school. Look. That's Lemon Zest, Indigo Zap, Sugarcoat, and Sour Sweet, and I'm gonna bet the girl on the far right is Sunny Flare.

Upon hearing her name Garble quickly grabbed the book that Sunset was holding and stared at it. “There’s a Sunny Here?!” but then he looks back to see Sunset smirking at him. “Uh... Interesting photo.” he nervously laughed.

“It's interesting because they look like they're friends,” Sunset said while pointing at the picture.

“ They do look like our friends. But I thought we'd figured that out already.”

“No, I mean... they look like they're friends with each other. But it doesn't seem like they're friends now.”

“Not so much,” Garble said while looking at the photo.

“ I just can't help but get the feeling that Twilight had something to do with it.”

“ I wouldn't put it past her. But she wanted your crown 'cause she's planning on doing something even worse! If you're gonna stop her, you have to focus on making friends here. Can't worry about why these girls aren't friends anymore. Even if they [yawning] do remind you of your Ponyville friends.” he said while his voice started to get softer because he was getting sleepy.

“You're right, Garble.” [sigh] “Eye on the prize.”

The Moon continues to Shine brightly above this Strange world that Sunset has to get used to she has a long day ahead of herself tomorrow and with the Fall Formal. but she didn't realize the crazy stuff that's gonna happen tomorrow.

Chapter 2: Mending old Friendships

It’s the Dawn of the next morning Sunset woke up quite early to research this strange world and the school while it was closed.
Though she wasn’t happy that she had to wake up during the day she had to adapt quickly to this world which means she also had to change her body clock. At first, she had some Jet lag or should I say “World/Dimension” lag because she wasn't used to waking up during the day but eventually she got the hang of it.

“Garble, Garble! Wake up!”. Sunset yelled trying to wake up her sleeping Puppy.

Garble rolled on his stomach before slowly getting up from the makeshift bed not very happy. “C'mon Sunset, it’s like 6 am can’t we get a few more minutes of sleep? It's the middle of the day”. Garble said while stretching.

“Sorry Garble, but remember that time is flipped in this world so we have to wake up during the day and sleep at night”.
Sunset said while petting Garble.

“but we can’t sleep now according to this schedule I found. The school opens in 30 minutes so we have little time to rest”.
Sunset slowly grabbed Garble and her bag as they walked down from the library. They sat down at one of the computers and sunset went on the Internet. and they clicked on Google (I couldn't find a name for it so it says the same).

“I’ve also learned how to use one of these things”. Sunset said while placing a book on the table. “It’s called a Computer its basically how this world documents and saves Important things on something called the Internet”. Sunset said while scrolling through Google. “I found this website called Google and it helped me to do a little research about this school and also about how this world works”. Garble just watched Sunset scroll through different websites such as Youtube (Same situation as Google). instrawgram and PonyBook (Yes a very terrible name I know if you can think of a better name please let me know in the Comment’s)

“Anyways where were we? Oh yeah!”. Sunset said before grabbing a stack of papers she made while Garble was still asleep. “Sour Sweet said I'd need to win over all those different groups if I wanna become Princess of the Fall Formal. So I've compiled a list of talking points.”

This made Garble laugh a bit. “You made a list? That's so unlike you!”. Garble continued to laugh until Sunset gave him a Very Angry look and Ordered Garble to go into her backpack. “hehehehehe...Uh... Please... Continue.”

“I'll start introducing myself, sprinkle in some things I learned about their world into the conversation, and show them how I fit in here!”. Sunset said proudly as she opened the door and a Bunch of students were outside chatting with each other. Sunset took a deep breath before going out “Okay, Garble. Time to make a good first impression on my fellow students. The whole world sorta depends on it.”

But when she was ready to make a good first impression on her fellow Students, Instead she finds that she passes is Laughing at her and whispering about something. “Why is everybody looking at me funny?”. Sunset asked Garble. “Did I do something?”. though she couldn’t think about it because a mysterious hand grabbed her arm and pulled her into an empty classroom

“Whoa! What're you...? Why did you...?”. Sunset asked the mysterious girl but then when she turned to Sunset she instantly knew who pulled her into the room “Sunny Flare?”. hearing her name Garble quickly popped his head out of Sunset’s Backpack.

Sunny takes a good look at Sunset before an idea pops into her head. She rushed over to her bag and pulls out some clothes and places them on Sunset who for some reason gained a Purple Wig.

“Oh yes, this is good... with this, no one will recognize you.” She said

“But...why wouldn’t I wanna be...”. Sunset Tried to speak but she was interrupted by Sunny.

“And we'll need a disguise for your dog, which is too bad...He really is so adorable!... Y'know, with a little work, I think I could make him look like a Monkey instead.

“Huh?”. Garble says then falling out of Sunset’s bag

“A Monkey?”.

Then Suddenly the door opens the person who opened it was Sugarcoat who came in.

“There you are, Sunset”.

“So much for the Disguise...” Sunny Flare said with a Disappointed voice seeing that her plan to hide Sunset had failed.

Then Sour Sweet also comes in from behind Sugarcoat. “yeah me too...”

“Me three!”. Lemon Zest said Hanging from the ceiling and Scaring Sugarcoat and Sour Sweet.

“for peet Sake how many times have we told you not! to do that?!”. Sugarcoat yelled at Lemon Zest.

“Sorry!”. then Lemon takes a good look at Sunset. “I like your new look!”

“I do have an eye for these sorts of things.” Sunny Flare said. “Not that you seem to care.”

“What?!”

“Yeah uh... I'm not gonna question it. anyways why were you all looking for me?”. Asked Sunset. “What’s going on?”.

“Oh... she hasn’t seen it yet.” Sour Sweet said having a nervous look on her face.

“Seen what?”

Then Lemon Zest brings out a laptop and opens youtube. “Oh... well it’s really not that bad... hehe hehe....” She said nervously playing the video.

(Video Starts)

Sunset Shimmer wants to be your Fall Formal Princess. But what does it say about our school if we give someone like this... such an important honor?

(Video ends)

Sunset was in shock and couldn’t believe what she was watching. it seems that Twilight managed to make a Video embarrassing Sunset in front of the Entire school and Uploading it into Youtube.

“Wha... I...”

“yeah, I take that back...It's pretty bad!”

“But this all happened yesterday! At the library! Has... everyone in the school seen this? Is... that why they were all looking at me that way?”. Sunset said hiding her face under the chair.

All of them simply looked at each other before looking back at Sunset and all nodded.

“What am I going to do? No one is gonna vote for me after seeing this!”

“Well even if this means you will lose... and Not that it'll make any difference, but I'll still vote for you”. Sour Sweet said trying to Cheer Sunset up but Sunset just Banged her head on the table. “You were so nice to stand up for me when Twilight was picking on me yesterday”.

“ If ya still wanna run, maybe there's something I can do to help!” Lemon Zest said

“Word of advice? Don't accept her help. She doesn't take anything seriously!”. Sour Sweet whispers to Sunset.

“What do you mean I don't take things seriously?!”. It seems that Lemon Zest heard everything though Sour was whispering maybe she has Dumbo’s ears or something.

“Hey, I heard that!”. (This is Lemon Zest not Pinkie Pie Btw)

See what I tell ya? (if I type in bold it means I'm talking to you guys)

“Why do you have to be so awful to me?”. Lemon Zest said Stomping her foot on the ground.

“Oh! Pff. Kch. Ts! Don't play innocent, Lemon Zest! You are no better than she is!” Sunny Flare yelled

“And what is that supposed to mean?!”

“I am happy to offer up my assistance to you Sunset.” then She turns around and faces Lemon Zest “At least She! appreciates what I have to offer!”.

Then in a second a giant argument started between Sour Sweet, Lemon Zest, and Sunny Flare. Garble gets started and quickly Jumps in Sunset’s Backpack and closes it from the Inside. (Don’t ask how let us just blame Hasbro).

“Listen to y'all carrying on this stupid argument!”. Yelled Sugarcoat trying to stop the argument. “Just Get over it and move on!”

“Oh really now?”. Sunny Flare said staring at Sugarcoat. “Do you mean like how you get over after what happened with Indigo Zap?”.

“Look! She said she'd get the softball team to make an appearance at my bake sale”. Sugarcoat yelled back. “I tell everybody they're coming, and then not one of them shows up! She made a liar out of me! That's different!”

“Is not!” Sour Sweet, Lemon Zest, and Rarity yelled

“ Is too!”

and..........The argument Continues. Finally, after a lot of Arguing, Sunset had enough and yelled at all of them to stop. then Garble hands Sunset a yearbook and she opens the page she opened last Night. “You were friends once. but not anymore”.

“Hmm. The Freshman Fair. You guys remember right?”. Sugarcoat said while looking at the picture.

The other 3 all nodded in sync.

“But something happened… something that made you all no longer friends and I think that something was Twilight.”

“It’s a nice theory you got there sunset” Sunny Flare speaks up, “but Twilight had nothing to do with it.”

“Yeah! She’s right!” Sour Sweet yells in agreement. “Twilight didn’t ruin my silent auction for the animal shelter by bringing fireworks and noisemakers! It was supposed to be a serious event! Lemon Zest ruined it! and it scared the animals I had to calm them down for the next week after that!”

“What are you talking about? I got a text message from you saying you didn’t want a silent auction, you wanted a big party! that's why I brought all those fireworks and noisemakers so we could all have a fun time there.”

“Uh...I… I never sent you a text!?”

“You didn’t?” Lemon Zest said Confused while looking at her phone.

“Maybe she is on to something girls.” Sunny Flare said. “Plus now I think she's the one who's been sending me those e-mails, do you? Every time I volunteer to help with the decorations at a school function, I get an e-mail from Lemon Zest saying she has plenty of volunteers! And then I find out she's done everything herself.”

“What? I never sent you any e-mails! I don't even know how to send an email!”. Lemon Zest yelled.

“Maybe she’s the reason Indigo Zap didn’t show up at my bake sale,” Sugarcoat added.

“Well, Sugarcoat. Didn't you ever ask Indigo Zap why she didn't show up? like talk to her in person I mean.” Sunset said.

“Well...” Sugarcoat started to lower her hat. “ I guess I kinda stopped talkin' to her at all after that. I deleted her messages blocked her on Ponybook and well I guess I stopped thinking about her together.” Sugarcoat said looking down in embarrassment.

“Hmm... I think Maybe now would be a good time to start.” Sunset said putting a hand on Sugarcoat’s Shoulder.

On the Soccer Pitch, Indigo Zap had 5 soccer balls on the grass and she started kicking them 1 by 1 into the goal While Sugarcoat was standing behind her.

She took a deep breath and “You got this”. Sugarcoat said to herself before approaching Indigo Zap tapped her on the back. “Um... I can see you're still playing soccer huh?”. Sugarcoat nervously said.

“Yeah... I still am”. Indigo Zap said with an Angry tone not even bothering to look at Sugarcoat.

Off at the side Lemon Zest, Sunset Shimmer, Sour Sweet, and Sunny Flare are looking at the 2 talks. “They're actually talking! That's a good sign!”.

(Back to the conversation)

“Yeah... um, that’s Great... and how’s Tubs by the way? is he still eating well? (Tubs is tank in alt don't ask why I chose tubs if you can think of a better name please go ahead and write it in the comments section if you want :twilightsmile: )
well, I guess it’s been a long time since I've seen him and I was kinda getting wor-”.

“Cut to the chase Sugarcoat!”. Indigo Zap Interrupted Sugarcoat and looked at her angrily. “What do you want?”.

“Look I just wanna talk”.

“Oh so now! You wanna talk?”. Indigo Zap yelled.

“Look! I'm sorry Zap”. Sugarcoat said trying to defend herself.

“but right now there's a girl tha-”.

“You’re sorry?”. Indigo Zap once again Interrupted Sugarcoat.

“The Bake sale, right... you mean the bake sale you moved and then canceled on me, right?”.

“No I didn't! It was Twilight Sparkle who did it”. Sugarcoat yelled. “Now please Indigo Let me Finish what I'm-

“Let you finish? Let you finish?!”. Indigo Zap yelled back. “How about all those times I tried to Talk to you about it? All those times you ignored me! Did you even give me a chance?! No! You didn't so why should I let you finish if you didn't let me!”. Indigo let all her anger out at Sugarcoat before turning around the crossing her arms.

“No... I didn’t give you a chance I drifted our Friendship apart and I abandoned you.”

“Yes, you did! Now tell me Sugarcoat! Why on earth should I listen to you Right now!”.

“No, you don’t have to listen... but Indigo Zap do you see that girl over there?”. Sugarcoat said pointing at Sunset who was talking to the other girls while Garble played with Sunny Flare. “That Girl right there is gonna do something extremely dangerous and crazy and she needs our help to prevent it.”

“so she needs our help? Why should I help this random Girl I don't even know?”.

“look... I swear in my life she needs this help. so please Indigo... Don’t let her down because of me... because what I did was wrong and all I'm saying is I’m sorry.”

“you promise?”. Indigo Zap asked without saying a word Sugarcoat just nodded.

“Ok...” Then Indigo Zap hugged Sugarcoat. “then I Forgive you.”

“OOOOH! Hugs! Hugs are always good!”. Lemon Zest happily said in the background.

“So? what’s her plan anyway?”. Indigo Zap asked.

“Well... She’s planning to become Princess of the Fall formal.” Sugarcoat Nervously said.

“Come again?”.

“Yup,” Sugarcoat nodded. “You hear me”.

“Didn’t Sour Sweet or Sunny Flare tell her about the Spring Fling?”. Indigo Zap asked again.

“Eeyup”.

“And that! didn't scare her?”.

“yeah! She is determined that's for sure I don't know what’s so special about the fall formal but she needs this”.

Indigo Zap looked at Sunset Shimmer who also looked back then Indigo Zap looked back at Sugarcoat. “well then let's go have a talk with her shall we?”. Indigo Zap gladly said

“That! sounds good to me”. Sugarcoat said while smiling.

“Somebody, and I think we can all guess who told Indigo Zap that my bake sale had been moved to a different day. Indigo showed up with all the softball team and thought I'd canceled on her!”.

“So you're lookin' to dethrone Twilight Sparkle and become Princess of the Fall Formal, huh?”. Indigo said looking at Sunset who just nodded “Gotta say I'd really love to see that happen. I'll totally help you out!”. Sunset smiled for only a few seconds then stopped once Indigo said this. “All you gotta do is beat me in a game of one-on-one”.

“Wait what?”.

“Indigo what are you doing?”. Sugarcoat whispered to Indigo Zap. “You said you would help her why are you challenging her to a match?”.

“Relax!”. Indigo whispered back. “I’ll beat her anyway but I’ll still help her”. Then she looked back at Sunset and Indigo Kicked the ball to the net for some reason, the ball went very fast and a blue flame appeared before landing on the goal (don't ask me how she did it let's blame Hasbro again).

“One Zip!”. Indigo yelled, “That's 1-0 first to 5 wins!”. she said dragging Sunset into the pitch.

Insert High school musical Instrumental

Indigo Zap dashes toward the goal where Sunset was shaking in fear. when Indigo kicked the ball Sunset got scared and ducked under it.

[2-0]

Indigo handed her the ball and put it on the grass but before Sunset could kick it Indigo played a dirty trick and kicked it to the goal.

[3-0]

Sunset was running toward the goal with the ball she looked at the goal and Indigo was nowhere to be seen which made Sunset feel confident but before she could kick it Indigo Zap stole the ball and quickly headed to the other goal and kicked the ball into it.

[4-0]

Indigo was just messing around bouncing the ball for a few seconds before kicking it to Sunset and Sunset quickly ran to the goal and was about to kick it was she gonna get 1 goal?!?..... And! She missed... welp too late to save it cause Indigo kicked it into the air and into the other goal.

[5-0]

“And That's game!”. Indigo yelled looking down at Sunset.

Soon the rest of the girls went to look at Sunset who was panting on the ground.

“ I... really thought you were gonna... pull it off there in the end!”. Sunny Flare said trying to cheer her up but Sugarcoat and Lemon Zest gave her Deadpanned looks.

“So what's the plan? How can I help you be princess instead of Twilight?”. Indigo said lifting up Sunset to her feet.

“But... I... lost!”.

“ Of course you lost. I'm awesome! “. Indigo Zap proudly said about herself. “But I'm not gonna help just anybody try and beat Twilight Sparkle. The Fall Formal Princess should be someone with heart and determination. You've proved that you've got 'em both Sunset and I think you can be the next Princess”. Sunset Smiled as she gave Indigo a hug and her friends cheered on.

at the back of the cheap seats however Twilight and her goons were videoing Sunset playing soccer.

“You got the footage?”. Twilight asked her goons.

“Yes, we did Twilight Sparkle”. Snips said showing the video to Twilight.

“Perfect.....” Twilight said while giving an Evil Smile.

Later Sunset and her friends sat at Sugarcube Corner to have some drinks.

“And... can I get mine with extra oats?”. Sunset asked the Human Version of Cloudy Quartz (once again taking inspiration from the Alt version of MLP: FIM for characters cause I have no idea which to make Mrs cake but I guess this fits).

“ Oats?”. Cloudy Quartz looked at Sunset Confused.

“Uh, scratch that. However, you normally make is fine.” Sunset Nervously Said.

Cloudy Quartz gave Sunset her Drink while still looking at her Confused.

Though Before Sunset could drink her cup she bumped into a familiar blue-haired boy and spilled her drink all over his shirt . (Yes I know some are disappointed that I didn't change him but really I couldn't find anyone else to fill out for him sorry)

“Oops Sorry! I didn't mean to! I was just-”. But Sunset Ultimately Stopped and saw who it was and her face became Redder than a Tomato.

“Woah! We’ve got to stop bumping into each other like this”. Said the Blue Haired Boy

“you know me! Always tryna make a big splash! Because... my drink kinda splashed on the ground hehe...”. Sunset said Nervously while grabbing her hair (Yes I know! Don't ask ok? ).

She sat back with her friends who watched the whole thing. Sunset’s face was still very red from the 2nd encounter and she was twirling her hair using her newly acquired Finger.

“oh, I don't think you wanna do that.” Sunny Flare said. “I mean you are already trying to take her crown Sunset but who knows what Twilight could do to you if you ended up with her ex-boyfriend too.” She Whispered to Sunset.

Sunset tries to defend herself but mostly just stutters. “What, I- Im not trying to... I don't even know-... we just accidentally!”. But then Sunset realized what Sunny just said. “Wait... Ex-boyfriend?”

“Yeah,” Said Sour Sweet trying to explain. “Flash Sentry broke up with Twilight a few weeks ago. I can't believe she hasn't done something awful to him yet”.

“Hm... Maybe she is waiting until she has the power to do something really awful.”

“All right, girls.” Sugarcoat Said. The dance is tomorrow night, and we still don't know how we're gonna get Twilight the votes she needs to be named princess. Right now, so people only know Sunset from the video online. We need to help them see her differently”. all the girls nodded in agreement and started thinking.

“hmmm”. all of the girls wondered until Sunny Flare had an idea. “I'VE GOT IT!”. She spo- I mean Yelled out loud getting the attention of everyone even the people inside Sugarcube Corner. She blushed in embarrassment. “I mean, um, perhaps I have a solution. Now this may be an absolutely preposterous idea, but...” She goes to her backpack and she pulls out what seemed to be a pair of ears and a tail. “what if we all wore these as a sign of unity? During freshman year, they were very, very popular. A way for everybody to show their school spirit! Do you know? Like "Go, Canterlot Shadowbolts!". “I uh...haven't sold any in ages. I mean, the five of us are obviously very different, but deep down, we're all Canterlot Shadowbolts! Twilight Sparkle was the one who divided us, and Sunset Shimmer is the one who will unite us. And we're gonna let everyone know it! What do you think?”.

“You know I think you are on to something Sunny”. Indigo Zap said. “But how are we gonna let everyone know it...”. and once again they all started thinking.

“Oh! Oh! Oh! Me, me-me-me, me”. Lemon Zest kept on saying until they all got irritated. “Ok, Lemon Zest we get it!”. Sugarcoat yelled. “now what's your idea?”.

“Well! Why not make a Music Video!”. Lemon Zest yelled. “we could do it during Lunchtime tomorrow and since every student is gonna be there they would all hear it! And we could also post it online so the students who weren't there could see it”.

“Well, Lemon Zest that's the First Good idea you had in a while let's do it!”. Sugarcoat yelled and all the girls cheered.

During Lunch many of the Students were regularly enjoying their Lunches little do they know what will come up.
The Mane 5 were now wearing the Shadowbolt sweaters and ears, tails you get what I mean. the Mane Five started to make a beat and In Sunset’s back, Garble threw out an entire Speaker I don't know How it could fit in there and he started playing music.

[Cafeteria Song by the Alternate Humane 6] (Original by the Original Humane 6]

Canterlot...

Twilight continued to watch as the Song played in the Background she turned around and saw Snips and Snails wearing Ears and Tails like all the other students.

“ Take those Stupid ears and tail off!”. She yelled at them “I have something I need you to do”. She said Giving a very evil Smile what could her plan to take down Sunset be? Too bad! cause you guys are gonna see it in the next chapter!

*Slaps a To be Continued... at the screen.*

Chapter 3: Coming Together

Last time...

(Now How do I make this sound like a Flashback...)

“I have something I need you to do...”

“Alright, I want you 2 to make a big mess of this place maybe a lot to frame Sunset Shimmer...”

“You got it Twilight Sparkle”. Snips and Snails said.

Later...

All the Students were now walking around wearing the Wondercolt ears and tails it seemed the Cafeteria song from the last chapter had worked.

“Doesn't everyone look just fabulous?”. Sunny Flare said.

“Yeah, Great Idea to suggest wearing these Sunny! And it was a good idea to make a Music video Lemon”. Sunset Shimmer Replied.

But then Sugarcoat noticed Twilight Sparkle and her minions walking by with a Smile on her face.

“Don't know what she's smiling about. Sunset's the one that's gonna be Princess of the Fall Formal.”

Though They Ignored everyone while the goons just made faces at the other students for who knows what reason but then they stopped by a door with a Sun next to it.

*Knock Knock Knock* (Yes Sound effects deal with it) “Vice Principal Celestia! Something terrible has happened!”.

Vice Principal Celestia looked at Her Confused but followed her to the Gymnasium when they went inside the place was completely destroyed and a lot was damaged.

“Isn't this just awful? And after Lemon Zest worked so hard to make things so perfect! Why would Sunset Shimmer do something like this?”. Twilight said in a sad sarcastic voice.

“Yes... It is such a shame Lemon Zest did do a better job than last year but Why would you think Sunset was responsible for something like this?”. Vice Principal Celestia asked.

“Because I have proof.”

Twilight then grabbed some pictures that looked like Sunset destroying everything in the Gymnasium was this her plan all along? to frame Sunset? but a Certain Blue haired boy was watching Twilight from behind and it seemed he was not letting her get away with it.

“Sunset Shimmer.” Vice Principal Celestia said.

“Uh...Yes”. Sunset replied.

“I need you in my office right now we have some things to discuss”.

“Uh.. Okay”.

Sunset Looked back at her friends and all were giving her a very concerned look.

Later in Vice Principal Celestia’s office, after discussing what happened Sunset was of course very confused.

“But... But I don't understand!”. Sunset Said.

“This is clearly you in the photographs, is it not?”. Vice Principal Celestia Said.

“Yes but..”

“I think it should be fairly obvious that the school cannot let someone who would do something like this compete for the Fall Formal crown.”

Sunset looked at the Vice Principal who was gazing at her she shrunk down at her gaze but then a Knock on the door caught their attention.

“Vice Principal Celestia. I found these in a trash can in the library. Thought you should see them. Someone obviously combined these photos to make it look like Sunset was the one who trashed the gym.” The same Blue Haired boy from before came in with what seemed to be pictured with cuts in them.

Vice Principal Celestia Examined the Pictures and it seemed to match perfectly with one another. “ I appreciate you bringing these to my attention, Flash. In light of this new evidence, you may of course continue your bid to be crowned the Princess of the Fall Formal.”

“Thank you! You have no idea how important this is to me!” Sunset said Running up to Flash and giving him a big hug and the Curtains magically went up don't ask me how.

“(chuckles) What was I gonna do? Not prove your innocence? Wouldn't be much of a Canterlot Wondercolt, would I?”

“I am afraid enough damage has been done to the gym that we will have to postpone the dance until tomorrow night. If you will excuse me, I need to let Luna know about this latest development.”

“So, uh, I was wondering. If you aren't already going with somebody, wanna go to the Fall Formal with me tomorrow night?” Flash sentry Asked Sunset.

Sunset happily looked at him and her face was more red than a tomato.“That would be... “ but then... “Wait! Tomorrow night!? No, no-no-no-no-no, no no no no no! Nonononono! I can't! The portal! That'll be too late!”. She didn't have time to think as she immediately grabbed her backpack and sprinted out of there.

“One "no" would have been fine!”.

She Continued sprinting out of Canterlot High and went outside and to Sunny Flare’s Shop and hid in the changing room.

“Everything okay in there Sunset?”. Sunny asked.

“Yes”. Sunset said.

“Only it's not okay. It's not okay at all! If I don't get my crown tonight, I won't be able to go back to Equestria for another Thirty Suns! Oh, what are we gonna do?”.

“Hmm. We tell them the truth. Let them know what's really at stake if you don't get the crown tonight. They'll help us figure somethin' out.”.

“But what if they won't? What if when they find out how different I really am...?” Sunset said as her reflection changed to her pony form.

“Sunset, these girls rallied around you 'cause they saw what was in your heart. They aren't gonna feel any differently about you when they find out you're a pony princess in Equestria.” Garble replied.

“I'm glad you followed me here, Garble.” Sunset said Petting her Dog

“Me too. Unless, of course, we get stuck here for another thirty Suns.”

Sunset now opened the changing room curtain and all of her friends were looking at her with concerned and confused faces.

“You okay?” Sugarcoat asked.

“The Fall Formal isn't happening tonight.”

“WHAT!?”.

“It had to be postponed because Twilight Sparkle had Snips and Snails ruin all of Lemon Zest's decorations.”

“WHAT?!?”.

“But the Fall Formal has to happen tonight.”

“Wha–!”. Sugarcoat then covered Lemon Zest’s mouth to stop her.

“[sigh] You see...”.

Lemon Zest then uncovered her mouth and inhaled deeply “You're from an alternate world and you're a pony princess there and the crown actually has a magical element embedded in it that helps power up other magical elements, and without it, they don't work anymore, and you need them to help protect your magical world, and if you don't get the crown tonight, you'll be stuck in this world and you won't be able to get back for, like, a really, really long time!”.

After she said it Sunset and Garble’s Mouths fell to the floor (Not literally though).

“Magical elements?, Alternate world?, Pony Princesses? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that isn't the reason.” Indigo Zap said.

“Nope, she's pretty much spot-on,” Garble Replied everybody except Lemon Zest gasped and looked at him in shock.

“He can talk!?”.

“Oh, yeah! And back where I come from, I'm not even a dog! I'm a ferocious, fire-breathing dragon!”.

Sour Sweet Immediately pushed everyone away and looked at Garble excitedly “This is so amazing! Tell me, what are you thinking right now?”

“Sure would love a scratch behind the old ears!”. Garble said Looking at Sunny Flare.

“Gah...”

“Uh, maybe later.”

“How did you know all that?”. Sunset asked Lemon still in shock.

“Just a hunch.”

“Wait a minute! Lemme get this straight. You're a pony?”

“You're a princess?”

“You're from another world?”

Sunset Gulped While Nodding Nervously about what her New Friends would think of her.

“That... Is... Awesome! ”. Indigo Zap Yelled Then all of Sunset’s Friends gathered around her with excited overlapping words.

Sunset looked down at Garble who is smirking at her. “See? What did I tell ya?”.

They all went back to Canterlot High and entered the gymnasium and all they saw was a lot of Destroyed decorations scattered everywhere

“I simply cannot believe they did all this!”. Sunny Flare said Disgusted by what she saw.

Lemon Zest Sighed. “If I only had some kind of... party cannon that could decorate everything super fast!” (Oh don’t worry lemon you will! soon...)

Sunset turned around and looked back at her friends. “ I know it seems impossible, but, maybe if we all work together?”

“Now that's the kinda can-do spirit I'm lookin' for in a Fall Formal Princess! Come on guys! Let's do this!”.

Sugarcoat, Indigo Zap, Lemon Zest, Sour Sweet, and Sunny Flare all put their hands together and looked at Sunset

Sunset hesitated for a second but then put her hand in with the rest and they all cheered.

Time to Come Together sung by the Alternate Mane 6

[Sunset Shimmer]

It's time for us to come together
It's the only way that things will get better
It's time for us to take a stand
So come on and lend a helping hand

[All]

Fix it up
Yeah, it's all right
We'll get it ready by tonight

Mix it up
Yeah, help a friend
We'll come together in the end

[Lemon Zest and Indigo Zap]

It's time to show that we've got school spirit
Raise your voice and let everyone hear it

[Sunny Flare and Sugarcoat]

It's time to show that we're strong
So come on, everybody, sing along

[All]

(Look...) Look how we've all come together
(Things...) Things are only just starting to get better
(Look...) Look how we've all come together
(Things...) Things are only gonna get better, better, better, better!

(We... will...) Fix it up, yeah, it's all right
(Come... tonight, tonight...) We'll get it ready by tonight

(Come... tonight, tonight...) We'll get it ready by tonight
(We... will...) Mix it up, yeah, help a friend
(Come... together, together...) We'll come together, together now!

They all looked at the Gymnasium it is now all fixed up and with new decorations set up.

“This... looks... sooooo... GOOD!” Lemon Zest Said

In the gymnasium doors, Principal Luna and Vice Principal Celestia were both waiting and Principal Luna was Clapping impressed at what she saw. “ All right, everyone! Fall Formal is back on for this evening, So you'd better get out of here and start getting ready. Oh, and don't forget to cast your ballots for the Fall Formal Princess on your way out!”

As all the Students were heading out, they said they were going to vote for Sunset. (Wow how the tables have turned haven't they?)

Twilight was looking out of the Closet and she got angry that her plan had failed. “You're lucky she was able to pull this off. Next time I ask you to make a mess of things, try to show a little restraint! I need this Formal to go on tonight just as much as she does.”

“Well, Girls. I say we did a great job at fixing this place up” Sunset Shimmer said looking proudly at the others.

“Heck yeah, we did! teamwork makes the dream work!” said Indigo Zap

Sugarcoat put a hand on Indigo Zap’s shoulder. “It sure does, why dont we head off and start preparing for the formal?”

All the girls nod as they leave the school and return to the boutique to get themselves ready that evening.

“ I still can't believe we pulled that off!” Sour Sweet said.

“I can! Cause We're awesome!”

“Enough chatter, girls. We need to get ready, and we need to look fabulous!”.

Prologue: The Princess Summit

The Sun shines high above the clouds over the Crystal Empire as Sunset and her Friends get off a Train to go spend time with Princess Chrysalis and Celebrate Sunset's first Princess Summit. [Side note -Chrysalis Replaces Candence in this AU and Princess Celestia and Luna Switch sides as well ]

"Man! Your very first Princess summit. You probably must be over the sun Sunset". Said Sugarcoat

"Oh, I am excited. But, to be honest, I'm a little nervous, too". Sunset Replied looking down at her hooves.

"You're 'nervicited'! It's like you wanna jump up and down and yell "YAY ME!!" But you also wanna curl up in a teeny-tiny ball and hide at the same time! <Transformers Sound effectt> We've all been there!" Lemon Zest said Jumping up and down and giving Sunset a soft Noogie.

"I'm there almost every day." Sour Sweet said with a soft tone.

"You've got no reason to fret, sunset. Everything's gonna be just–". Sugarcoat tried to comfort her friend but then was interrupted by Sunny Flare. "SUNSET! Oh, sorry, but I just realized you're not wearing your crown. You haven't forgotten it back in Ponyville, have you?". She looked at Sunset grabbing her face with her hooves

" It's in my bag." Both of them look at the bag with Garble patting it " Just feel a little self-conscious about wearing it. Haven't really gotten accustomed to these yet, either." She said Pointing at her wings trying to fly back failing and falling back down.

"You are a princess now, Sunset. Embrace it! I'm telling you, if I had a crown like that, I would never take it off. Why, I'd sleep in the thing". Sunset looks back at Sunny and rolls her eyes before all of them head inside.

Right as they head Inside they are greeted by a bunch of Crystal Guards and some Horns to go along with it. Sunset walks around looking at the guards before bumping into 1 of them with an orange coat with a blue mane.

"Her Highness, Princess Sunset Shimmer!". then Chrysalis and the other princesses slowly walk up to the mane 6.

" [laughs] Sunset! I haven't seen you since the coronation!". Chrysalis laughed as she Hugged Sunset.

"We have so much to discuss. But it can wait until tomorrow. You all look tired from your journey. Now, off to bed, all of you." Said Princess Luna they all nodded as they all went to their separate rooms for the Day.

In Sunset's Room, she looks at herself in the mirror before putting the crown back on and looking back at her reflection.

Sunset sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror then Garble looks back at her seeing as she looks sad he decides to ask her what was wrong.

"What's wrong, Sunset". Garble asked looking concerned.

" I don't know, Garble. I'm just... worried, I guess. Princess Chrysalis was given the Crystal Empire to rule over. What if, now that I'm a princess, Luna expects me to lead a kingdom of my own?". Sunset Replied circling her hooves on the ground.

"That would be awesome!" Garble said smiling lifting himself up using his tail

"No, it would not!" Sunset Retorted. "Just because I have this crown and these wings, it doesn't mean I'll be a good leader!". Sunset goes to her bed and lies down.

" Aw, sure ya will, Sunset. Now c'mon, you should get some shut-eye. Big day tomorrow! [sigh]". Garble said Tucking Sunset into bed before turning off the lights and going into his own bed.

Sunset Tries to fall asleep but her wings had better ideas. ": [grunts] Can't... tuck...! [grunts] [Wing Twang] Just trying to get comfortable!".

Aah yes now she can sleep she has a big day tomorrow nothing can ruin thi- Nevermind... "Ugh!" Sunset grunts inside the blanket.

(Just Pretend its the Alternate versions)

Late in the day, a Lavender coated mare walks into Sunset’s room after sneaking past the guards wearing a hoodie to disguise herself. After entering the room she switches Sunset’s Crown with a fake one to deceive her but then she knocks down a lamp. Luckily she was able to save it in time but not before Garble moves and puts his tail off his bed

“Ugh!”. Said the Mare tripping on the tail and then waking the 2 up.

“Huh? What?”. Garble said looking around to see what the noise was

Sunset yawns after waking up to see what all the noise was but then the mare stands up on her hooves revealing that she had stolen the crown “ [Gasp] My crown! She's got my crown!”. The thief Swung the door open and bolted for the exit with Sunset hot on her tail.

“ Stop! Thief!”. Sunset yelled waking the rest of the mane 6 up and they all went outside to see what had happened “She's stolen my crown!”. Sunset yelled the rest of the mane 6 gasped then they all chased after the Mare.

Sunset quickly teleports ahead of the mare’s tracks trying to stop her “ Stop!”. She yelled but then the mare also teleported ahead of her revealing herself to the mane 6

[here's what she looks like in Alternate Universe in her Pony form the image is by https://www.deviantart.com/sarahalen ] Back to the story

Sunset quickly Catches up at the mare and tries to get the crown by bitting it but fails then the mare looks back at her.
The mare’s eyes widen as Sunset Tackles her and they go flying into a room with a weird mirror. The crown quickly bounces off the stable bags and bounces around the room quickly.

After the Crown bounced 1 more time and into a mirror they all gasped. and the mare had an evil smile on her face

“What did you do with my crown?”. Sunset said to the mare glaring at her. The Mare just looked at her and smirked at Sunset

“Sorry it had to be this way...” the mare said before teleporting next to the mirror “Princess.” The mare gave a Salute before going into the mirror the rest of the mane 6 gasped at what just happened.

“ Who was that?”. Sour Sweet quickly asked.

The next evening they went to the princesses and asked the same question and explained what happened the last day

“Twilight Sparkle.” Princess Luna said “ A former student of mine. She began her studies with me not long before Sunset. But when she did not get what she wanted as quickly as she liked, she turned cruel and dishonest. I tried to help her, but she eventually decided to abandon her studies and pursue her own path. One that has sadly led to her stealing your crown.” Luna added

“She replaced Sunset's with this one,” Garble said grabbing the fake crown from behind his back Luna quickly examined the crown to figure out what Twilight was planning.

“ I suppose Twilight Sparkle thought you wouldn't notice right away that this was not yours. And by the time you did, it would be too late to go after your crown and Element of Harmony”. Princess Luna added as they walked up to the room with the mirror.

“But I don't understand. Where did she go? Where did she take the crown?”. Sunset kept asking questions but Luna didn't answer.

“ You'll soon know more about this place than even I do.” Princess Luna added as they approached the mirror.

“ This is no ordinary mirror. It is a gateway to another world. A gateway that opens once every thirty Suns”. Princess Celestia said looking at the mirror and her reflection. “OOOH Sparkly!”. Lemon Zest said putting her hoof on the mirror. Celestia rolled her eyes as she used her magic to pull the earth pony out of the mirror.

“It has always been kept in the throne room of Canterlot Castle. But when Princess Chrysalis took over the Crystal Empire, we sent it here for her to watch over”. Princess Celestia said still holding on to Lemon.

“ [sigh] I had always hoped that Twilight Sparkle would someday use it to return, to come back to Equestria seeking my guidance. Obviously, this is not what has happened”. Princess Luna said looking at the mirror.

“Sunset, you must use the mirror to go into this other world and retrieve your crown. Without it, the other Elements of Harmony have no power and Equestria is left without one of its most important means of defense”. Chrysalis said as she walked close to Sunset. She nodded as the rest of the mane 6 looked at each other

“Your crown does not belong in the place Twilight Sparkle now calls home. And in her possession, your Element of Harmony will no doubt be used to bring harm to the inhabitants of this other realm. They will not have the power to defend themselves.” Princess Celestia said.

Sunset looked at the mirror but then Princess Luna put some stable backs on Sunset with her Cutie mark on it.

“You understand the importance of your task?”. Princess Luna said.

Sunset Quickly nodded “Of course”.

“ Good. Then you must go at once”. Princess Luna said

Sunset sighed looking at the mirror but before she was about to go in Indigo Zap flew right in between Sunset in the mirror “Whoa, whoa, whoa! She's going, we're going with her.” Lemon Zest Quickly smiled

“Right, girls?”. Indigo said turning to the other girls. “Oooh! I'm so 'nervicited'!” Lemon Zest quickly said excitedly. “ You do realize that's not a real word, right?”. Sugarcoat added looking at Lemon who was just smiling.

Sunset smiled at how thoughtful her friends were but the smile quickly melted into a frown as Princess Luna put her hoof on Sunset. “I'm afraid I can't let you go.”

“ What?! Why not?!”. Indigo Zap said slamming her hoof on the ground.

“Sending all of you could upset the balance of this alternate world, creating havoc that would make it impossible for Sunset Shimmer to get the crown back from Twilight Sparkle. This is something Princess Sunset must do alone.” Princess Luna said to the girls who stared at The princess for delivering the bad news.

“Time is of the essence. On the third day, when the Sun reaches its peak in the Bright sky, the gateway will close. And once it does, it will be another thirty suns before you will be able to use it to return.” Princess Celestia added showing what it would look like using her magic.

Sunset Friend’s assured her that she would be okay going into the other world as they cheered her on.

Sunset slowly walked up to the mirror and put her hoof onto it. She sighed one more time before going in the mirror.

However, an Anxious Garble becomes worried and quickly runs after Sunset.

“Garble, No!”. The rest of the mane 6 yelled but it was too late as Garble already went inside the mirror.

While going through the worlds Sunset and Garble yelp as their bodies start to change shape the constant spinning and warping cause Sunset to Blackout as she is flung out of the mirror. She Groans as her Vision starts to come back.
