My Little Pony Equestria Girls- Seeing Double
(I'm not an uber fan of My Little Pony, but it is a very interesting series, and I especially like their human versions in Equestria girls, so here's my take. Please feel free to criticize (or compliment, that's cool too!))
CH 1
It was a beautiful sunny day. The birds were singing and there was a warm gentle breeze flowing across the lawn of Canterlot High, softly caressing the skin of anyone fortunate enough to be on the lawn that morning. Small groups of students were chatting happily away about whatever struck their fancy. Two girls were bragging about how wealthy they were to anyone who could stand to listen to them, while three young girls chased each other around, each one wearing a shirt that read, Crusaders, on the back. A green-skinned boy wearing a recycling T-shirt was leaning against the brick wall of the school strumming on a guitar, while a pale skinned girl with blue hair wearing white and dark sunglasses marched down the entrance from the gate, her head bobbing in time with the music coming from her big headphones.
Suddenly, the main doors to the school burst open and six girls spilled out onto the lawn. Laughing and talking to themselves, they moved as one along the side of the school towards the soccer field.
"I am so gonna kick butt in today's game!" The leader, a blue skinned girl with rainbow-colored hair crowed proudly as she swaggered forward with her nose in the air.
"If anyone can do it, it's you Rainbow Dash" A cream-skinned girl with pink hair commented, though her voice was so soft Rainbow could barely hear her.
"Are you kidding? Of course you're gonna win." A pink girl with poofy bubble-gum hair literally hopped in front of Rainbow Dash. "I mean there's always the slimmest chance you might not win, but seriously, that's not gonna happen because you are like totally the best at every single sport there is. I can't think of-mmph!" Her ranting was suddenly cut off as a hand was placed over her mouth.
"We get it Pinkie" The hand's owner muttered in a southern accent, rolling her eyes before adjusting her cowboy hat and turning to Rainbow. "Just do yer best out there, the rest'll take care of itself"
"I always do my best Applejack" Rainbow Dash smiled even wider. She then turned to another member at the edge of the group. "Thanks agian for designing this outfit Rarity." rainbow Dash gestured to the sky blue sport shirt, white skirt and black leggings that she was wearing. "Though I'm a little surprised you wanted to come watch."
"No problem, darling" An ivory-skinned girl with lavender colored hair purred from the edge of the group. "And why shouldn't I come watch? After all, I've always said, you can only do your best, when you look your best"
"Then why haven't I ever heard you say that?" The final member of the group who was wearing red and black and had flaming red-and-yellow hair piped up, causing Rarity to frown and everyone else to laugh.
"Very funny, Sunset Shimmer. But remember, you haven't been here as long as the rest of us. And for most of that time you were..." Rarity suddenly clapped her hands over her mouth and her cheeks flushed crimson. "Sorry" She squeaked through her fingers and cast a fearful eye at Sunset.
Sunset Shimmer frowned, then sighed, placing one hand on her hip as she scuffed her red boot on the ground. "It's okay" She assured everyone, who had been looking at her with concern in their eyes. "I guess, I'm still getting used to all this" She gestured to her friends, who smiled back at her. She sighed again. "How does Twilight do it? Making friends seemed so easy for her"
"Well, you were her arch-nemesis back then and you weren't keen on making friends, so that kinda helped." Pinkie piped up before being silenced by glares from Applejack and Rainbow Dash.
"Yeah, but you've come a long way since then, and everyone knows it." Rainbow Dash placed a hand on Sunset's shoulder. "What you did to stop the Dazzlers was awesome!"
"You mean what Twilight did" Sunset corrected, still looking sad. "I just..."
"Just grabbed the reigns when they were knocked from Twilight's hands" Applejack interrupted, thumping Sunset on the back. "Regardless of what you think, we couldn't have stopped them sirens without you, sugar"
Sunset Shimmer brightened. "You think so?" Her friends nodded.
"Now come on, I've got a game to win!" Rainbow Dash called out, charging towards the field.
"Remember to take lots of pictures" Rarity instructed everyone. Sunset Shimmer felt a smile creep back across her face as she reached for the pocket of her skirt...and felt nothing. She frowned and checked the pockets of her jacket, nothing.
"What's wrong Sunset Shimmer?" Sunset looked up to see Fluttershy looking back at her.
"Darn, I must have left my cell phone back at my locker. Tell the others I'll catch up" Fluttershy nodded as Sunset Shimmer turned and trotted back towards the main doors. "Maybe they're right" She said to herself as she passed the girl with the headphones, who smiled and nodded as she passed. "Everyone seems to be getting over what I did here" She smiled as the three crusaders waved at her. "And to think I used to care only about myself. I really owe a lot to-Twilight?" Sunset Shimmer stopped dead, her eyes wide, her mouth open. Standing near the statue that served as the gateway to Equestria, her back to Sunset Shimmer, was a familiar looking figure. At the sound of her voice, the figure rose and turned around.
"Yes?" Sunset shimmer felt her mind whir. The girl standing before her looked kind of like Twilight, she had the same skin and and hair color, and her eyes still looked the same, except they were covered by square thick-rimmed glasses. Her hair was down, but it was tied into a braid and she was wearing a long white lab coat. As Sunset stared at her, the figure adjusted her glasses and stared back at her, a confused look on her face. "You did call me, didn't you?"
"T-Twlight S-Sparkle?" Sunset stammered. The girl frowned and narrowed an eye behind her glasses.
"Yes, that's my name" She answered, her tone guarded. "But how did you know that? Who are you?"
Strange doings right off the bat! What do you think is going on? Why doesn't Twilight recognize Sunset Shimmer, and why does she look different?
Maybe she's not really who Sunset thinks she is and...oops! I'm getting ahead of myself! Don;t worry, chapter 2 is coming soon!
