My Little Pony Equestria Girls- Seeing Double

(Yawn! I'm feeling so tired right now, but this chapter feels worth the effort! Enjoy!)

CH 10

"So, what did you think?" Sunset asked as the group walked through the halls towards the front doors. "About the music, I mean?"

"The music was wonderful" Twilight replied. Leaning in, she whispered "It feels good to know I left the Rainbooms in good hands" Sunset winked back and both girls chuckled.

"What's so funny back there?" Rainbow Dash called back from the group huddled around 'Twilight'. Twilight's laughter faded as she noticed the look of fear emerging on her doppelgangers face.

"Oh, nothing!" Twilight called back, smiling. But her smile faded when her friends looked away. Leaning closer to Sunset she whispered. "We need to tell her"

"Who, your double?" Sunset looked hesitant. "Are you sure you want to do that?"

"It's because of me that she got roughed up earlier" Twilight explained to sunset the reasoning she had come up with earlier, how Imitate was mistaking Twilight's double for her, causing the girl's eyes to widen and her face to visibly pale.

"I see your point" Sunset agreed, suddenly looking a little nervous. "When do you want to do it?"

"Sooner, rather than later" Twilight answered, wincing as her double visibly jumped when Rainbow Dash clapped her on the back.

"Hey Twi, are you okay?" The blue-skinned girl asked, causing the group to come to a halt. Twilight could see that Rainbow Dash looked worried

"Yeah" 'Twilight' replied in a shaky voice that sounded anything but okay. "I'm just feeling kinda tired" She gave a yawn to emphasize it. But Twilight frowned as she noticed her double's eyes darting frantically from person to person, like she expected everyone to suddenly run at her.

Pinkie's eyes suddenly lit up. "Hey!" She exclaimed, causing 'Twilight' to jump again. "I know just what you need!"

"You do?" 'Twilight' asked. Sunset and Twilight exchanged a look as they pulled even with the group.

"Of course! What you need is a nice relaxing WELCOME-BACK-TO-CANTERLOT-HIGH-SLUMBER-PARTY!" Pinkie burst out, clapping her hands and bouncing up and down gleefully."Everyone's invited!"

"Yeah! All Right!" Rainbow Dash cheered. Applejack tossed her hat in the air and Fluttershy nodded eagerly. Sunset and Twilight both smiled, but her doppelganger did not. She just looked puzzled. Welcome back? She mouthed.

"Oh perfect, this will give you a chance to tell us everything that has been happening in your world" Rarity resolved, clasping 'Twilight's' hand with her own.

'Twilight' looked even more confused. "M-my world?" She stammered

"Yeah, we're all dying to hear the latest word from Equestria" Applejack clasped 'Twilight's' other hand and they began walking towards the door, though 'Twilight looked somewhat reluctant to go with them. She glanced backwards towards Cadence, possibly looking for help, her eyes were full of alarm and confusion.

"And it'll give you a chance to tell my double what's going on" Twilight whispered to Sunset as they passed through the doors. "I'm not sure how much more of this she can take"

"But what about you?" Sunset argued. "It would sound more believable coming from the real Twilight"

"In this world, that is the real Twilight." She gestured to her double who was looking more uneasy by the minute surrounded by the other girls. "Plus, I'm supposed to be 'Cadence', remember?" Twilight ran her ringers through the hair of her white wig. "And 'Cadence' knows nothing about any of this"

Sunset groaned, but finally she nodded. "But, what are you going to do?"

Twilight frowned as she glanced back at the school building. "Well, I spent my first night here in the school library, I can do that again. Plus, this will allow Spike and me to come up with a plan"

Sunset rubbed her forehead sheepishly but gave her an encouraging smile. "Okay, good luck"

"You too" Twilight smiled and turned to back into the school building.

"Where are you going, Cadence?" Twilight turned to see Pinkie Pie staring at her.

"Umm..I was just going to grab my bag before I went home" Twilight replied shakily. She did not like the intense way Pinkie was suddenly staring at her. "Have fun with your slumber party" Twilight could not stop a wave of depression and eagerness from filling her heart as she turned to go, but stopped when Pinkie Pie burst out laughing. "What's so funny?" Twilight asked, raising en eyebrow.

"You silly!" Pinkie giggled. "When I said everyone was invited, that meant you too!"

"What?" Twilight exclaimed, her eyes wide, an action mirrored by almost everyone else.

"Her?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "But she's not a...well..."

"I don't that's such a good idea, Pinkie." Applejack cautioned. "No offense, Miss Cadence" The country girl quickly added, throwing Twilight an apologetic look

"None taken" Twilight nodded

"Oooohhh! This is going to be so much fun! We can braid each other's hair, play video games, and swap stories. You won't believe some of the stories Twilight can tell you." Pinkie ranted, literally shaking with excitement.

"Pinkie!" Applejack exclaimed, shooting the pink girl a warning look.

"What?" Pinkie asked innocently. "We can totally trust Cadence to keep the secret!" Just then, Rainbow Dash darted forward and covered Pinkie's mouth with her hand.

Twilight felt a smile flicker across her face and she decided to keep playing. "Secret? What secret?" She asked, cocking her head and looking confused.

"It's nothing darling" Rarity laughed nervously, joined by the others. "Really" She shot an angry look at Pinkie. "It's just...some of the things we'll be talking about are things you...might...not...be able to understand"

"What do you mean, not understand?" Twilight asked, causing everyone to laugh nervously again. Inside, Twilight was fighting the immensely strong urge to laugh herself. She could feel the corners of her mouth start to curve into a tiny smile, and struggled to keep her confused look on her face. The fact that Sunset Shimmer was gazing at her with a big mirth-filled grin was not helping.

"I don't know girls" Sunset finally said after a minute of silence. "I somehow think Cadence can keep our secret. I think she's trustworthy"

"Yes!" 'Twilight piped up, suddenly looking relieved. "She should come! The more the merrier!"

"See, even Twilight agrees with me!" Pinkie's voice though muffled by Rainbow Dash's hand, was still clear enough to be heard.

Rainbow Dash removed her hand, looking a little reluctant. She exchanged a look with Applejack and Rarity, who glanced at 'Twilight', then both nodded. "Okay, you can come" She smiled at Twilight, who felt a huge surge of relief. She beamed happily as Sunset winked at her. Even 'Twilight' suddenly felt better.

"Ooh, my dad's here!" Pinkie exclaimed as a large truck pulled up in front of the school. A brown-skinned man with grey hair wearing a black vest and matching brimmed hat nodded at the girls.

As the girls started walking towards the truck, Sunset lagged back and waited while Twilight dashed back inside the school and picked up her backpack. Glancing inside, she saw that Spike had fallen asleep. I'll tell him later She thought as she dashed back out to rejoin the others

"Well, looks like you'll get to tell your double yourself after all" Sunset whispered as they all piled into the back of the truck. Twilight smiled in response, but inside she suddenly felt nervous. Glancing at her double she saw the girl shift awkwardly from inside her ring of friends, then noticed her staring and gave a faint smile.

"Yeah, good thing" Twilight replied, smiling back at 'Twilight', but inside, she felt as nervous as her double looked.

Well, glad that's done! I meant to get this finished days ago, but I've been completely blocked. Fortunately I had some free time where I had no other work to do.

So, how do you think Twilight's gonna break this news to her twin. I mean, this is probably not what you'd call a 'normal conversation topic' right? Do you think Twilight is going to tell the rest of the mane six, or will she keep them in the dark (she seems to enjoy playing with them this way, don't you think?)

As always, feel free to comment, compliment, or criticize. Also, if you think you know where this story is going to go next, post your theories. I really enjoy reading predictions!

Another update is already in the planning. Until next time!
