Sunset Shimmer eyed the girl who sat beside her on the bus to the other side of town. The two teens had risen early and packed their bags for the next semester at the mysterious public school. The two girls will be staying in a shared hotel room payed by their school and will have a personal driver courtesy of Miss Shimmer's wealthy parents. "You have a very peculiar fashion sense." She commented on her messy bun, skirt and light blue turtle neck combo under a lab coat. It made the purple student fit the name of scientist.
Twilight Sparkle checked the girl from top to bottom then returned to her notes. "I would say the same for a high class girl like yourself." The redhead's family was part of the high social class due to their rich heritage. Sunset Shimmer's upbringings contradicted her taste in clothing, sporting a hot pink hoodie, jeans and purple sneakers.
The teen huffed in reply. "It's comfortable. And I don't really care." She muttered. "So what's the plan to trying to figure out what sort of magic is going on at this school."
"Magic? That's preposterous."
"How else can you explain the glowing lights and the growing hair and odd ears?"
"There has to be an explanation. There is always a logical and scientific reason for everything. For instance, the video you showed me obviously was a school event that contained music similar to one of those so called concerts. The bright lights and odd transformations probably were special effects and bits to make it flashy for the enjoyment of the audience watching. We simply just ask then we can move on to our studies for Headmaster Sombra and go home."
Sunset Shimmer frowned and shook her head, obviously not agreeing with her company. "Whatever. If you say so, princess." She huffed and pushed a strand of hair away.
The two teenage girls stood in front of the school they've only seen in pictures. "Kay, so first we need to check in and get our schedules from the Principal's office." Sunset informed.
"Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna." Twilight supplied which bought her a glare from the redhead. "I'm able to do my own research." Twilight continued to walk into the school, Sunset aggressively trying to catch up. Her patience for the smarty pants was waning.
'Sunny' Sunset Shimmer was usually custom to staring and naturally loved attention but the constant staring from the many students was a different story. They passed through whispers of "Another Sunset Shimmer?" "Princess Twilight is back." and "No it cant be. They look different." Thankfully for her, they made it into the safety of the Principal's office.
Or possibly not. Clearing her throat, Sunset decided to ease the silence. "Um hello. I'm-" But her voice wavered as the authority figure observed her new students tentatively, shooting her confidence down.
Twilight rolled her eyes at this. She adjusted her glasses. "Twilight Sparkle," She motioned to herself then to the flustered teen. "Sunset Shimmer. As you should know we're transfer students from Equestria Prep."
Principal Celestia nodded. "Yes. We expected your arrival. I'm Principal Celestia and here are your schedules." She slid the papers across the desks that the girls accepted. "I called a student here to officially welcome you to Canterlot High. She should arrive soon. Please enjoy your stay."
Both girls nodded and right on cue, the student in question arrived. Barging through the door an oddly familiar voice was heard. "I'm so sorry I'm late Principal Celestia!" A golden skinned redhead with yellow streaks wearing a stylish jacket under a hot pink top and skirt stood before the private schoolers. The three girls were dumbfounded at the sight of the second Sunset Shimmer.
"Well, Sunset Shimmer they're all yours." The principal said causing the tour girl to break out of her phase of shock. The public school girl laughed awkwardly and motioned the newbies out the door. Well this awkward.
"Alright." The girl cleared her throat as the awkward air dawned over them. The Twilight eyeing her like a science experiment and her double staring at her in interest. "So, welcome to Canterlot High, I'm Sunset Shimmer." The statement caused another reaction from the two. An eyebrow raise and more surprise. "And your names?" She gave a smile, though she kicked herself for asking, knowing fully what kind of reaction it can cause.
Her double beat the race to speak first. "My name is Sunset Shimmer." Cue more awkward laughing. Former Pony Shimmer didn't know how to react. "But luckily, I prefer Sunny." The real life mirror exchanged similar smiles having eased some tension.
"Yeah cute moment. You found your long lost twin of some sort. I'm Twilight Sparkle and thanks for the tour but I'm sure I can manage on my own." The scientist said, turning around and about to walk the other direction. "Sunset, since you're so determined to help me, I can ensure that you'll get the answers I need from your second."
Sunny's left eye twitched at this. "We. I'm doing this for me too you know. The world doesn't revolve around you, Twilight Sparkle." She spat. But was ignored by the four-eyed girl running off before the tour guide could object. Sunny placed a hand on her twin. "Don't. She's a lost cause. Pretty sure she's more stubborn than I am."
Sunset frowned and looked toward the direction Twilight ran off to. Many things were revolving around her mind. Frowns turned to sympathetic smiles that were exchanged. "Alright. So let's get on with the tour."
So that's what I got so far! Please tell me what you think as I get the next chapter done whenever inspiration hits again. Hope I'll see you again for the next chapter!
