Lyra accidentally comes across four of her former friends during the Friendship Games.

Lyra is one of the more prouder and outspoken Wondercolts, often unafraid to show where she stands. She shares similar sentiments with her classmates that the Shadowbolts are arrogant and jerks. Even Trixie agrees with that sentiment and shares a hatred for their rivals. She probably hates her former friends that attend CPA more though, internally hoping she doesn't see them during the Games.

Sunset just doesn't like people who remind her of who she used to be and Crystal Prep is full of people like that, from Suri to Neon Lights.

This Is Awkward

I adjusted my pony ears as I watched Sunset climb the steps of the stage in the gym to a chalk board.

“Go Sunset!” I called out as the others cheered. Myself and the other Wondercolts stood behind her as Twilight climbed up the steps on the opposite side, idly noticing she had only four girls cheering her on as I tossed a glare their way.

“Trixie would hate to go to Crystal Prep,” Trixie muttered as she glanced over at Twilight.

“Thou said it,” Watermelody agreed as she rubbed her arm. “They’re evil.”

Let’s just say, if Trixie is agreeing with you on something, you’re witnessing history. Normally she annoys me at times, but we have a common enemy at this moment being the Shadowbolts. I despise those fuckers so much.

“Agreed,” Bon Bon said as she crossed her arms, tossing a scowl over to the Shadowbolts. We had tried to be friendly with them earlier but that went poorly. “I think Sunset might lose. She’s smart but well, Twilight is insanely smart I heard rumors about. “Shame she’s on the opposing side.”

“Incorrect,” Principal Cinch pointed at Sunset as her face fell before she stepped of the stage.

“Damn,” I muttered as we sighed. “That was the closest we ever got to winning. I’m gonna go to uh the bathroom! Definitely the bathroom!”

“Okay,” Bon Bon gave me a suspicious look as I brushed my hand against her ass with a smirk. “Lyra! Not in public!”

“Right love,” I grumbled and rolled my eyes. “Love ya.”

“Love you too.”

I stepped aside and leaned against the wall of the school, pulling my vape out of my coat pocket.

“You know that’s gonna kill you one day, right?” Sunset asked as I jumped. I hadn’t expected her to be out here too.

“And that won’t?” I asked with a grin as I pointed at the cigarette in her left hand as she placed it in her mouth.

“Fair point,” Sunset shrugged as she blew the smoke out of her mouth. “Didn’t peg you as a smoker. Can I try?”

“Yeah not many do,” I said as I handed her my vape and she inhaled before handing it back.

“Of course it’s fruity flavored,” Sunset scoffed as she rolled her eyes. “Not surprised.”

“Yeah yeah,” I snickered as I placed my vape in my mouth. “Damn, dead. Got a spare cigarette?”

Sunset nodded as she pulled out a pack if cigarettes, tossing me it along with a lighter. I gave her a grateful look as I pulled a cigarette out and light it.

“Bon Bon hates cigarettes,” I explained as I handed her items back. “So I normally try to smoke outside or when she’s not home. She’d kill me if she found I was out here.”

“I got perfume if you need it. And don’t kiss Bon Bon when you get back,” Sunset said as she nudged her perfume on the ground with her boot. “The others hate when I smoke too.”

“Thanks,” I crossed my arms as I blew out the smoke, making a perfect ring. “You did good up there by the way.”

“Not really. We lost this section,” Sunset sighed as I frowned.

“This was the closest we’ve ever came to winning. We got the next section in the bag though,” I commented with a shrug. Admittedly, I didn’t know what it was but it can’t be that difficult right?

“Lyra?”

I jumped slightly as did Sunset, the both us looking at four girls in Shadowbolt uniforms as we both scowled at them.

“What are you all doing here?” I scoffed as Lemon Hearts, Twinkleshine, Minuette and Moondancer gave me sheepish smiles.

“We’re here for the Games. I will admit, we never wanted to come here but we had no real choice. Twilight came so we might as well too,” Lemon Hearts shrugged.

“That’s nice,” I grunted as I took another puff of my cigarette, Sunset watching curiously with a wary expression. “But why the hell are you talking to me? I’m a Wondercolt, you’re a Shadowbolt.”

“We were friends once,” Minuette said softly as she met my eyes. “We’d like to be again. We hate Crystal Prep, we just go there for the education. We never approved of how our classmates acted to you or your school.”

“Hmph,” I grunted and rolled my eyes. “Sure you are.”

“Maybe you should give em a chance,” Sunset shrugged as she blew out smoke again and Twinkleshine grimaced. “Don’t get me wrong, I hate their school just as much as the next Wondercolt does, but if we get seen talking to the enemy, we might be get in deeper shit.”

“Nice work up there I’m Twinkleshine and that’s-” Twinkleshine started as Sunset cut her off.

“Minuette, Lemon Hearts and Moondancer. I know.’

“Hell no. I’m not giving them a single opportunity,” I shot back as Moondancer looked away and Twinkleshine gave Sunset a startled look. “They betrayed us by going to that school. They betrayed everything we’ve stood for and they said nothing earlier when the Shadowbolts were harassing me and Flash. They deserve no chances. We’re on the opposite teams.”

“She’s not going to change her mind,” Moondancer sighed as she adjusted her glasses. “Just know we’re sorry, okay? We never meant to abandon you.”

“Yeah, yeah and the sky is purple,” I snorted as they gave me sad looks before going back inside.

“You were hard on them,” Sunset noted as she dropped her cigarette and crushed it under her boot. “I knew their counterparts back in Equestria.”

“So that explains how you know their names,” I mused as she nodded. “Wait, did you know mine? Am I something awesome, like a pegasus?”

“Nope. Unicorn,” Sunset commented as I grinned widely. “Oh boy.”

“Score!”

“Yeah, I was pretty awful to them. They probably hate me. You did for a while,” Sunset sighed as I placed a hand on her shoulder and squeezed, tossing my cigarette on the ground.

“Yeah, sorry about that. You’re a damn good person and I’m happy to know you. What was I like?”

“Wild. Loved your parties,” Sunset commented with a smirk. “Believe it or not, your counterpart was my first kiss. First time too.”

“Oh,” I muttered as I blushed bright red. “Fun.”

“Yeah, that mare could use her tongue and magic in ways I never could,” Sunset shook her head. “Do you know Twilight then?”

“Mom says I went to kindergarten with her and the others. Went to middle school with Twinkleshine, Lemon Hearts, Minuette and Moondancer but they wanted to go to CPA instead of CHS with me. And then Cinch took over. Mom says the rivalry was alive and well when she went here so I already had a disdain for the Shadowbolts. Even Trixie hates em.”

“Wow, that’s a shocker,” Sunset mused and I chuckled as she stepped on my cigarette. “Don’t tell anyone yet, but we don’t have magic anymore.”

“What?”

“Twilight stole my magic, Fluttershy’s and Pinkie’s along with the portals. Why, I have no idea but I’m gonna find out,” Sunset said as she clenched a fist. “If she accidentally hurts someone, that’s on me for bringing magic here in the first place. Vice Principal Luna asked me to try to keep magic out of the Games and I intend to do so.”

“You can do this. And I won’t tell a soul,” I promised as Sunset gave a tired smile.

“Thanks Lyra.”

“Anytime and hey, if you ever want a roll in the hay, I can try to convince Bon Bon to join us,” I wiggled my eyebrows as Sunset blushed.

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

We both laughed as we walked back inside the school, spraying ourselves with perfume.

I stared in horror and wide eyes at the floating girl with wings above us.

“What the bloody hell is with us and magical incidents?” Octavia shouted as Derpy stumbled into me.

“Your guess is as a good as mine,” Vinyl shook her head as she placed her glasses on her face. It was rare she spoke, only when it was serious.

The ground cracked and exploded as Sunset went flying, slamming into the ground as it caved under us.

“Gah!” Bon Bon and I screamed and caught the edge of the crystal ground as I grabbed Bon Bons hand.

“Please don’t let me go!” Bon Bon begged as she kicked her legs.

“I wont!” I grunted as I felt my fingernails scratching the surface of the ground. “Bonnie, I’m slipping.”

“Where’s Octavia?” Bon Bon asked nervously as I looked over to my left.

“To our left, holding onto Vinyl. Derpy is trying to pull her up,” I answered and I lost my grip, giving a terrified scream when a cream and blue hand caught me.

“I got ya!” Twinkleshine called out as she and Minuette groaned. The two grunted as they started pulling us up, Lemon Hearts and Moondancer helping Derpy.

“Don’t let go!” I heard Rainbow shout.

“Obviously!” Rarity shouted back.

“Why must bad things happen to us?” Derpy sighed as the other four gave her stunned looks.

“This is normal for you?” Lemon Hearts demanded as Bon Bon and I flopped onto our backs.

“You could say that love,” Octavia admitted as she and Vinyl were pulled up.

“Thanks I guess. For saving us,” I said and glanced at the two panting girls. “Why did you even save us? We’re rivals.”

“We don’t give a fuck about the rivalry!” Moondancer shouted as she glared at me. “We never gave a damn. We only go there for education, we don’t like our classmates and we certainly don’t like Cinch. She’s a witch!”

“Got that right,” Twinkleshine chimed in as she caught her breath. “While I’d never expect to see you in a Shadowbolt uniform, I hope to see you again. As friends of course if you want.”

I looked between the four girls giving me hopeful as Derpy, Vinyl, Bon Bon and Octavia gave me encouraging smiles. I suppose I could give them a chance, they did save our lives. And they were my best friends in middle school. I inhaled and let out a breath slowly, nodding my agreement.

“As friends.”

Minuette gave a squeal as she hugged me tightly.

“I’m dating a student here so we can see each other often. Cheerilee’s daughter, Berry Punch,” Minuette commented with a sly grin.

“So that’s why she’s been so happy recently,” Octavia mused.

“Oh and Bon Bon? Wanna have a threesome with Sunset?”
