Episode: 9

Time Away From CHS

It was a beautiful day at Canterlot high. Everyone was waiting for the bell to signify the end of another year. Sunset Shimmer and her friends were tuning in and out of the teacher's lecture.

Teacher: In order to win the conflict General Neighpoleon did what? Miss Shimmer?

Sunset: Oh um he flanked with cavalry after a cannon barrage?

Teacher: Correct! Now Miss Twilight!

Twilight: Yes Sir?

Teacher: What was the Romane emperor that inspired Neighpolean as a strategist?

Twilight: Julius Caesar.

Teacher: Great now remember that you will be studying military history next year. This was just a little test.

Ring…Ring

Teacher: Have a great summer!

The class packed up their things and left. Students were pushing and shoving to leave for their summer plans while Sunset and her friends sat by the statue base.

Sunset: So…what do you guys want to do?

Twilight: Well we could have a sleepover.

AJ: Did that.

Fluttershy: um…go volunteer at the shelter.

RD: Did that too. Plus, I don't want to clean up animal poop.

Rarity: Well darlings it seems we have done everything in this city before.

Pinkie: Oh, We could travel to another city!

RD: We don't have the money Pinkie.

The others sat and thought when a voice rang out.

: Hey Guys!

The others looked to see Their Thomas with his signature blue clothes with a gold one on a white shirt with red highlights. His coal black hair was changed from a bowl haircut to something that resembled the rebel haircut of Fallout.

Sunset: Hey Thomas, how are you?

Thomas: Much better than I used to be. I heard you guys talking about plans?

Twilight: Well we've done everything here. Got any ideas?

Thomas: Have you thought of any other places?

RD: We don't have money to go anywhere here.

Sunset: Well…no there is no way that would work!

Rarity: What are you talking about?

Sunset: Nothing.

AJ: Yer lying. Spit it out!

Sunset: Well there is Equestria.

Thomas: So? I do see problems but you could at least ask.

Sunset: Okay I'll ask.

Sunset pulled out her book and wrote a request then closed it.

Sunset: Now we wait but I don't think she-

Before she could finish a bright glow emanated from the page and a reply was written saying:

Dear Sunset,

I would love it if you and your friends could come and spend some time here. Don't worry about blending in problems. I have a solution.

See you soon,

Princess Twilight.

RD: Whelp that settles it. Let's go!

Sunset: Alright then.

The group stood up.

Sunset: Thomas you coming?

Thomas: Nah. I'm going to be training for soccer next year with Flash. Later!

Thomas waved land dashed off. The others turned around and stepped in. They were spun around and round as they went through the portal. With a final flash the group shot out and landed in a pile of books.

Starlight was heading towards the library when the sounds of falling books rang out. She ran into the library to see a group of ponies moaning in a pile of books.

Starlight: What going on here?!

Twilight fumbled out of the pile and rolled to a stop at the bottom.

Starlight: Hey Twilight! I thought you were at the workshop with Thomas?

Twilight: Oh I was just um…

Sunset: (whisper) working on mass teleportation.

Twilight: Working on mass teleportation. Sorry for the mess. I better get back there.

She and the Main seven stumbled out of the pile and trotted off.

Starlight: I swear sometimes Twilight does not know what she is doing.

The group arrived at a room with voices coming from the inside. Sunset creaked the door open to see Twilight who turned to them.

Sunset: Hey Twilight!

Twilight rushed up and let them in. Thomas just sat looking at the blueprint boards.

Twilight: Sunset! It has been awhile.

Sunset: Yes you said you had some disguise thing for us?

Twilight levitated a glass case with necklaces in them.

Twilight: Blaze made these Chameleon necklaces. It will alter you colors and if an alicorn it will remove the wings from view.

The other put them on.

Sunset: Who's Blaze?

Twilight: Oh yeah. You haven't talked to Prince Blaze.

All: A Prince?!

Twilight: I'll explain later, just press the buttons. Except Sunset doesn't need one due to being the only her here.

The Doppelgangers had nearly inverted colors. Twilight was an incredibly dark purple with a deep steel blue mane and tail with red and lighter purple highlights. AJ had a dark red with purple hair. RD Was grey with black hair. Pinkie was simply blue with darker blue hair and Rarity was Greyer with lighter purple hair.

Sunset: Wow. I really need to commend this new friend of yours. Is there any chance we can see him?

Twilight: We'll see. He is very busy being since he runs the railroads and works with manufacturing for military tech and a few other hobbies. This workshop was his before he left and so we've been trying to decipher them to build a few.

Sunset was amazed that such a pony had so many large jobs.

Rainbow: Well I want to go outside.

She tried to move like a person but nearly fumbled if she didn't have the wings.

Twilight: You walk on all fours here not two.

AJ: Well I'm gonna head out with Rainbow.

Rarity: I'm gonna get some clothing. I can't stand being o natural.

Pinkie: I need some sugar Bye!

So the group headed out.

Twilight: Remember don't use your real names!

RD: Got it!

With them gone it left the two Twilights, Fluttershy Sunset and Thomas.

Twilight: Hey Thomas you find anything?

Thomas: Yes but I believe we shouldn't use these Twilight. These devices and their descriptions are not something we should use without supervision.

Sunset: Like What?

Thomas: Well armored military vehicles, communications devices, improved construction materials and equipment. Half of this he wrote is being adapted to work here.

Twilight 2: Well why don't we just contact him. You have a way don't you?

Thomas: Well Human Twilight, nice to see you again.

Thomas said finally walking up and shaking hooves.

Sunset: We've been here for a while.

Thomas: oh sorry, I was using voice muting magic Twilight taught me so it cut out most voices.

Princess Twilight: Well I could contact him.

She pulled out a scroll and wrote a letter with a quill and then the scroll teleported off.

Sunset: Well what happens now?

Thomas: Oh he will write us back.

A scroll popped out of the air and Thomas read it.

Thomas: It says Three. Two.

Then a huge flash erupted. When everyone could see again, Blaze could be heard.

Blaze: What were you thinking!
