The Next Day
"Good morning, students. I'm sure you're all thrilled to start the first day of the Friendship Games. Our competitors will face off in every aspect of the CHS curriculum, culminating in the elimination equation finale." Vice Principal Luna said over the P.A. system. Now in the main foyer, the thirteen CHS students and the thirteen Crystal Prep students were standing together. Even the other students from the other school were in the main foyer. "Welcome to the first event, the Academic Decathlon! You'll be scored on chemistry, home-ec, and everything in between. But remember, only the seven students from each team with the most points will move on to event number 2. Good luck!" Dean Cadance said.
Sunset Shimmer, Moonrise, and Wondercolts: Ho! We're gonna take you down
Ho! We're gonna take you down!
Take you down! (Ho! We're gonna take you down!)
Take you down! (Down, down, down)
Sci-Twi, Phantom, and Shadowbolts: (Oh oh!) We're here to take you out
(Aw aw!) We're here to take you out (Aw aw!)
Take you out! (We're here to take you out!)
Take you out!
Wondercolts: We're not about to let you win, so get out of our way
Think you got us beat, but we're here to stay
United strong, yeah, we'll take you down
You're not so tough, now you're in our town
In the first trial, each student was given the task of mixing certain chemicals. Phantom and Twilight were working together for obvious reasons. Next up was home-ec, while Crystal prep made some delicious cakes, Pinkie Pie's was so amazing that when she cut into it, it showed the Mona Lisa. The judges dropped the clipboards in surprise. When one of the teams from Crystal Prep walked off with their cake, Principal Cinch looked at them disappointed. They dropped their cake in fear and it splattered everywhere. Principal Cinch pinched her nose to appease her headache.
All of the times we lost before
Not about to give up, we're only bringin' it more
We can smell your fear, we can see your sweat
Hope you didn't spend money 'cause you're losin' this bet!
You've got nothin' on us
Na, na, na-na-na, na
Let's go, Wondercolts!
You've got nothin' on us
Na, na, na-na-na, na
Let's go, Wondercolts!
Shadowbolts: Talk a little too much for a school that never wins
Maybe you should just stop 'fore you even begin
We are Crystal Prep High and we have a reputation
Every little moment is about our education
Next, onto birdhouse building, the CHS students were having trouble with their blueprints. While at least two students from CHS failed, many of the other students from Crystal Prep were being rude to the others from CHS that fail but Fluttershy and Applejack supported them with kindness and friendship.
Put your ear to the ground
Listen to that sound
You're a house of cards
And it's about to fall down (fall down)
About to fall down (fall down), hit the ground
You've got nothin' on us
Na, na, na-na-na, na
Let's go, Shadowbolts!
You've got nothin' on us
Na, na, na-na-na, na
Let's go, Shadowbolts!
Wondercolts: Pressure's on, now we're gonna beat you
Step aside, it's time that we defeat you
Crystal Prep yourself 'cause you're about to go
Down, down, down, down
One by one, students from CHS and Crystal Prep were losing in the spelling bee while Sunset Shimmer, Moonrise, Twilight, and Phantom were succeeding.
Shadowbolts: Pressure's on, you know we're gonna take you
Just give up before we have to break you
Canter-not-a-lot, you're about to go
Down, down, down, down
Now in the final competition of the first round, it's Twilight and Phantom vs Sunset Shimmer and Moonrise. It's a math equation. The four of them are slowly walking up the stairs while one team is cheering for their teammates and the other is telling them to win or else.
Wondercolts: Take it up to the top
'Cause we know we can win
Shadowbolts: Maybe you should just stop
'Cause we've seen you give in
Wondercolts: We believe in ourselves
And we've got what it takes
All: And we're not gonna stop
Sci-Twi and Phantom: We can't wait 'til this is all over
There's so much more that's going on
Sunset Shimmer and Moonrise: And before these games are over
We'll find out just what they've done
All: Can they do it? Will they make it?
Who will win it? Who will take it?
Can they do it? Who will take it?
Did they win it? Did they make it?
Who's the winner? Who's the reject?
How did they answer?
As both Phantom, Twilight, Sunset Shimmer, and Moonrise presented their answers to Principal Cinch to see if it was right, she pointed to Sunset and Moonrise and said, "Incorrect!" Both Sunset Shimmer and Moonrise had a disappointed look. 'Oh, man. We lost.' Twilight and Phantom, on the other hand, smiled at their success. 'Yes! We're winning! Tha means we're even closer to our new school.' Phantom thought to himself. "That means the winner of the Friendship Games' first even is Twilight Sparkle, Phantom, and Crystal Prep!" Twilight and Phantom smiled at their success and hoped their fellow classmates would praise them but they all just sighed and gave a scattered.
Rainbow Dash ran up to Sunset and Moonrise and high-fived them for their amazing work. "That was awesome!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "Truly amazing!" Rarity said as she and the others walked on stage. "But we didn't win!" Moonrise said. "That was as close to winnin' as Canterlot's ever been." Applejack told the sisters as she put her arms around the sisters. "After a careful tally of the points, we'd like to presents the students moving on to the Friendship Games second." On CHS, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Sunset Shimmer, and Moonrise were moving on and Twilight, Phantom, Sour Sweet, Sugarcoat, Sunny Flare, Indigo Zap, and Lemon Zest moved on from Crystal Prep. Twilight and Phantom looked at the group from CHS and looked disheartened since they all looked like good friends and they cheered even though they lost while their team didn't even cheer for them. 'Must be nice to have friends like that.' Phantom thought to himself.
Twilight and Phantom walked down the stairs and Flash Sentry greeted them hoping to win Twilight affection. Phantom hid behind Twilight nervously since he didn't know the students from CHS. "Congratulations! You two were really great!" Flash Sentry told them. Twilight's device started to hum again indicating that the strange energy she and Phantom had been tracking was near so they left to follow it. "I'm sorry. Excuse me." Twilight said as she left. "Uh... thanks..." Then Phantom followed his sister. "Okay, then. Aw." Flash said disappointedly.
Twilight and Phantom followed the seven friends outside and watched as they had a conversation then they all separated but Fluttershy went to the bushes, sat down, and opened her backpack to reveal a grey kitten. Twilight and Phantom followed her. The bushes rustled and Twilight and Phantom appeared and Fluttershy just smiled. "Do you guys wanna give her a treat?" Fluttershy said kindly. Twilight and Phantom smiled and sat down next to her. "Guess my brother and I aren't the only ones to smuggle their pet into school." Fluttershy giggled. "Not just one." Fluttershy opened her backpack to reveal a bird, a bunny, and a gerbil in her backpack. "Oh, wow. All Twilight and I have is Spike." Phantom said as Twilight opened her backpack to reveal their puppy Spike.
Fluttershy picked him up and looked at him. "It really is uncanny. Does he talk?" Phantom looked at her confused. 'That's a strange question to ask.' Phantom thought to himself. "Um, not that I know of."
Fluttershy proceeded to scratch Spike's belly. "Congratulations on winning, by the way. Though, it didn't seem like anyone on your team was very excited about it." Phantom and Twilight sighed sadly. "No one at our school gets excited about anything they didn't do themselves," Phantom said sadly. "That sounds awful." Twilight and Phantom looked away in sadness. Fluttershy looked around and saw her bunny and kitten. "Here. Hold these little guys." Fluttershy said as she handed Twilight the bunny and Phantom the kitten. "Um... why?" Phantom asked nervously worried that this might be a prank. "Holding a bunny or a kitten always makes me feel better."
"Well, that's ridiculous. But..." As Twilight was speaking, the bunny started to rub its head against Twilight and kitten started to purr in Phantom arms. "Ooh. It actually works." Twilight said happily with Phantom nodding in agreement. "But, my sister and I are on the other team and you just lost. Why are you being so nice to us?" Phantom asked confused.
"You two looked like you needed it," Fluttershy told them. Suddenly, Fluttershy started to glow and she got her pony ears, ponytail, and pegasus wing. Twilight and Phantom looked at her in awe. "Whoa!" Twilight's device started to float up and absorb the magic from Fluttershy. The device then shot lightning bolt and opened portals to another world. 'Twilight's device is doing that as well?! What's going on?!' Phantom to himself. A portal near the ground and a jackrabbit came out and Spike barked at it and jumped through the portals chasing the bunny. "Spike!" Twilight and Phantom shouted worried. Spike then got into the line of magic from Fluttershy and yowled. "Spike!" Twilight then forced her device to close. Luckily, Fluttershy caught him and handed him to Twilight as she laid on the ground exhausted. "Spike, are you okay?" Twilight asked. "Um, I think so," Spike said. 'Did Spike just...'
Twilight, Phantom, and Spike screamed and Twilight and Phantom ran off in fear of their talking dog. "Twilight, Phantom, wait!" Then Spike ran after Twilight and Phantom. Fluttershy sighed in exhaustion. "Bye."
