Man, I'm really enjoying this arc. Like I said I've been planning this for a long time and it's great to write it up for you all to see.

I hope you all enjoy!


"Hey, you doing ok?" Lincoln asked the green skinned girl following him as the two walked through the halls of CHS. Lincoln looked back as he saw the Wallflower Blush, the girl he met this morning due to falling asleep in her garden, following behind him with her head lowered, a nervous expression across her face, and fidgeting with her fingers.

"J-Just ner-nervous is all." Wallflower answered nervously as they stopped walking. "I-I'm not used to meeting new people. You're honestly my f-first friend in a w-while."

Lincoln gave a Wallflower a soft smile as he put a hand to the gardener's shoulder. "Don't worry so much, Twilight will love meeting you." Lincoln reassured her as he was confident Twilight would like meeting some new people and potential friends in this world. "Just trust me."

Wallflower looked Lincoln in the eye for a moment before she took a deep breath and nodded her head. "O-Ok, I t-trust you." Wallflower said as a small smile came to her face. "Th-thank you Lincoln, this...this really means a lot."

"Anytime." Lincoln reassured Wallflower with a thumbs up. The Loud boy then turned around and said. "Alright, Twilight should be in the library. Do you know where that is?"

"Yep. Follow me." Wallflower said as she took the lead and began leading the way to the Cantorlot High's Library. It was only about a 7 minute walk as Wallflower led Lincoln to the library. The doors were already open so the two could just walk in.

Once inside Lincoln's eyes widened as he looked around the circle shaped room. The roof was the dome he saw outside and all around were rows and rows of books on shelves with the middle being a computer area. There was even an upper level with even more books.

"Wow, this is a nice Library." Lincoln commented quietly due to being in a library. "Way better than the one at my old school."

"Hehe, yeah we do have quiet the book collection." Wallflower said sheepishly as she pointed to a shelf across the room. "I usually spend my time in here around the nature and flora section."

"I wonder why?" Lincoln said with a grin, making Wallflower's cheeks turn pink in slight embarrassment. Lincoln decided to stop teasing the poor girl and said. "Alright, I think Twilight should be somewhere in here. She has purple skin and eyes and wearing a blue blouse."

Wallflower nodded at gaining the information of Twilight's appearance and the two began spreading out around both halves of the library looking for said girl. However, surprisingly, their efforts proved fruitless when they saw no sight of her or Spike.

"Dang it." Lincoln muttered as he went back to the center of the room to meet back up with Wallflower. Twilight must be around somewhere, he just hoped she wasn't in any sort of trouble or did anything to embarrass herself.

"I couldn't find her." Wallflower said as she walked up to Lincoln.

"Yeah me neither, she must be somewhere else but I have no idea." Lincoln explained as he sighed. "No clue where she is either."

Wallflower looked down and hummed in thought. These new kids probably didn't know this school to well and this Twilight Sparkle could be anywhere. She looked around for any sort of clues to find her, and then her eyes set open a women she knew as Mrs. Cheeriee, one of her teachers, sorting around books.

"U-Um! Excuse m-me! Mrs. Cheerliee!" Wallflower Blush called out as Lincoln looked to where she was looking and saw the human version of Mrs. Cheerilee stacking books on shelves.

The teacher heard her name being called and looked to see Wallflower and Lincoln walking up to her. She put on a smile as she said. "Oh, hello there. You two must be new here."

Wallflower was taken aback by this as she stuttered. "Wh-what? H-He's new but I've been your student for y-years. I'm Wallflower Blush." The green skinned girl explained with a bit of an offended look. It was one thing for her fellow students not to recognize her, but her own teachers?

"O-Oh! I'm sorry I didn't realize it was you." Cheerilee said with a nervous chuckle and an apologetic smile.

"You don't recognize your own student?" Lincoln asked the teacher with an accusing glare.

"Um, well, you see…" Cheerilee struggled to say before she simply gave a nervous smile and said. "You know what, I'm sorry. What can I help you to with?"

Wallflower simply sighed and decided to drop the subject. She was used to it. "W-Well we were wondering if you seen a girl named T-Twilight Sparkle here? She has a blue blouse, purple skin and eyes."

They then watched as Cheerilee suddenly gave a slightly annoyed look when that purple skinned girl was brought up as she said. "Oh, her." The teacher said in an annoyed tone as she remembered interacting with the girl yesterday and how...poor her computer skills were. "Yes I saw her here yesterday."

"Do you know where she is now?" Lincoln followed up immediately.

Mrs Cheerilee scratched her chin in thought for a moment before she answered. "I think I saw her with Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack heading to the soccer field earlier."

"So there is a Rarity here." Lincoln muttered under his breath so the other two wouldn't hear him. "Thanks Mrs. Cheerilee. Come on Wallflower, let's go!" Lincoln said before he started to run off.

"O-Oh! Right!" Wallflower said as she started running after the white-headed boy.

A little later, Wallflower was leading Lincoln to the school's soccer field where Twilight as well as the other parallel versions of their friends were. As they were walking, Wallflower spoke up, "I'm guessing if they're all over there they must be meeting Rainbow Dash. She's the captain of every sports team and always spends her free time practicing."

"So I've heard." Lincoln responded as he remembered Pinkie Pie saying Rainbow Dash was in fact the captain of all the sports teams in the school. "So do you know them?"

"S-sort of." Wallflower answered with a 'so-so' expression. "They don't k-know me but I've seen them around the school sometimes. I've actually been classmates with them for years but they've never talked to me, just like everyone else."

"Have you ever tried interacting with them?" Lincoln asked with a raised eyebrow as he put his hands in his pants pocket.

"N-Not r-really." Wallflower answered as she lowered her head a bit. "Nobody else seems to notice me and they are some of the coolest students here. I figured if everybody else didn't notice me, what are the chances they would."

"Well now's your chance to find out." Lincoln said with a kind smile. Wallflower couldn't help but smile a bit herself. It seemed being around and befriending Lincoln helped her confidence a bit. Not much, but, maybe enough so that she could give this a try at last.

"Ok, know it's my turn to ask you a question." Wallflower said as so far Lincoln's been asking her question, it would be nice to ask him a question for a change. "You said I could possibly help you and Twilight with something. What is that exactly?"

Lincoln knew this would come up eventually so better to just tell her now and get it over with. "Well, me and Twilight are trying to get her to become Princess of the Fall Formel and win the crown."

Wallflower came to an immediate stop as her eyes widened. She then looked to Lincoln like he was crazy. "You're friends running against Sunset Shimmer?!" Wallflower yelled as Lincoln simply nodded his head. "Do you two have a death wish or something?"

"Well, it's kinda important that we win." Lincoln said vaguely, not revealing the true nature of the situation. "It's a long story but Twilight just has to win."

"Well, I still think it's a bad idea. But I guess there's no changing your mind." Wallflower said as she quickly deduced that trying to talk her new friend out of it would be for not. "Well, one thing about being practically invisible to everyone is that the bullies never go after you. I'm probably the only student here who Sunset hasn't targeted so...lucky me I guess."

Lincoln melt the drawbacks of being practically non-social definitely out weighed the benefits, but decided to leave that be. Instead, it was the word 'bully' that Lincoln reacted to as he looked down with an unsure look. "Yeah...bully." Lincoln muttered quietly.

Wallflower noticed Lincoln's change in mood and asked with a slightly concerned expression. "Is something wrong?"

Lincoln put his hand to his neck as he looked at his hoodie pocket where the diary he took from Sunset's apartment was. He remembered all the diary entries he read and how it showed something much more was going on than just Sunset being some power hungry villain. "Well...it's just…" Lincoln said as he tried to sum up his explanation. "I just think there's probably more to Sunset then we think."

"What?" Wallflower asked with a completely confused expression and a raised eyebrow. Everyone knew that Sunset was pretty much the queen bee of the school that would crush anyone who got in her way. What more could there be to here.

Lincoln looked around for a moment to see if anyone was watching them, and when he saw the coast was clear he reached into his hoodie pocket and pulled out the diary. He showed it to Wallflower and said. "Guess who's diary this is?"

Wallflower looked at it for a bit before her eyes slowly started widening as she said quietly. "No...way…" She said in a completely surprised tone as she pieced together that it must have been Sunset's diary since they were just talking about her.

"Yeah." Lincoln confirmed with a nod as he put the diary back in his hoodie. "She's had it for a long time, probably since she was a kid. It's old and the handwriting in the first several pages isn't the best. And I read through it and...I'm not sure what exactly, but I think there's a lot more to Sunset then we think. Something more deeper and emotional that's making her act like this."

Wallflower hummed as she took all of this information in. It was hard to believe that the girl the whole school was afraid of actually had something more to her than just being a total bitch. But if the diary Lincoln had said all these things...then maybe it was possible. It was probably easier for Wallflower to consider this as a possibility then any other student since she didn't really have any beef with Sunset since Sunset never interacted, just like every other student. "Ok…" Wallflower said as she started considering the possibilities. "So what are you going to do about it? I assume you're probably gonna try and dive deeper into this."

"...Yeah." Lincoln admitted as he did want to know more about Sunset's past and her potential problems. If she was doing this all for a specific reason, and she most likely was, and Lincoln could help her, he wanted to. "I don't know the full story, but there is one person who does."

Wallflower instantly knew who Lincoln was talking about and gave the white head a worried look. "It's not going to be easy." She told him in a concerned/warning tone. "She's not just gonna open out about any potential problems she has. Especially to you. I've heard about what you did to her yesterday and you probably aren't one of her favorite people."

"Yeah I know." Lincoln said with a sigh before looking to Wallflower Blush with a small smile. "But it's like I told you, you won't know unless you try."

Wallflower couldn't help but giggle a bit and say. "Yeah." The two then started walking again as the green skinned girl pointed to a door they were coming up to. "That leads right to the soccer field."

Lincoln nodded in response as the two of them approached the door and opened it up. Sunlight leaked out causing them to wince, but once their eyes adjusted to the brightness they saw that right in front of them was the Cantorlot Soccer field.

And in the distance near the bleachers, they saw 6 people standing there. Lincoln was able to see Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. Along with those 4 he could see the human version of Rarity and Rainbow Dash. She would recognize their unique hair style and colors respectively anywhere.

"There they are! Let's go!" Lincoln said as he started to run towards the group. But he soon stopped when he noticed a lack of footsteps behind him. He looked to see Wallflower Blush in the same place, hold her arm with an incredibly nervous expression on her face.

Lincoln knew what was up and walked up to Wallflower and put a hand on her shoulder. "It'll be ok. I promise." The Loud boy reassured her softly.

Wallflower looked back at Lincoln for a moment, then over at the Main 6 by the bleachers. She swallowed a lump in her throat as she mouthed out an 'Ok.'

Lincoln nodded at her before the two started working towards the group together. Once they got close, Lincoln shouted to them. "HEY GUYS!"

This got the Main 6's attention as they saw Lincoln approaching them. Twilight smiled brightly as she got up from the bleachers and quickly went over to him and said. "Lincoln! It's so good to see you again!" Twilight said as the Loud boy gave her a reassuring thumbs up. "So, uh, how did you little mission go."

Lincoln averted her gaze as he said vaguely. "It...went." He answered as Twilight rose a brow. Before she could ask further Lincoln quickly said. "I'll tell you about it later. Let's focus on the now. I've seen you've been busy."

Twilight perked up as she nodded and moved to the side and showed Lincoln the human version of all their ponyville friends standing behind her. "I ended up meeting up with Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity when I was going over my plans to win the Fall Formel. They were trying to protect me from Sunset since she hasn't done anything to me yet and I ended up finding out some things. Long story short we met up with Rainbow Dash and her and Applejack made up and now they're all friends again!"

"Well that's good to hear." Lincoln commented as the human Rainbow Dash walked up to him.

"So, you're the guy that knocked down Sunset Shimmer huh?" Rainbow asked the Loud boy with crossed arms. Lincoln nodded...but it didn't sit right with his gut. Honestly after reading Sunset's diary he was starting to feel bad about what he did and said to her. "Ha! Man I wished I could've seen that!"

"Hehe...yeah." Lincoln sheepishly muttered before he cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject. "Anyway, Twilight, you're not the only one who's been busy making friends. I actually have someone here with me."

"Really?" Twilight asked with a smile. "Where are they?"

"She's right her." Lincoln said as he took a step to the right and showed Wallflower blush hiding behind him and looking at everyone with a shy and nervous expression and a pink blush on her cheeks.

"H-H-H-Hi…" Wallflower nervous stuttered as she forced herself to smile.

Twilight simply smiled at her and gave her a wave. "Hello. I'm Twilight Sparkle. It's really nice to meet you!" Twilight told her in a positive and welcoming tone.

"I-I'm W-W-Wallflower B-Blush." Wallflower responded as she looked away and tried to hold her composure.

However, the CHS students all looked at her with confusion with Rarity raising her brow and asking. "Apologizes darling, but we've never seen you before. Are you new here?"

"I-I've b-been classmates with all of you for years." Wallflower muttered quietly as she poked her fingers together.

All the CHS students were surprised by this. She sounded honest, and Applejack could stop a liar from a mile away, but they've never seen her before.

"Are you sure?" Rainbow Dash asked as she kicked the soccer ball at her feet up to her hands. "I've never seen or heard of you before."

"I'm...not the most well known person." Wallflower admitted to everyone sadly as she fidgeting her fingers and looked down.

"Guess not." Applejack said as she adjusted her hat. "Sorry bout that."

"It's fine, really." Wallflower said as she grinded her foot into the ground softly. "I'm used to people ignoring and forgetting about me."

"Oh you poor thing." Fluttershy said with sympathy as she hovered a hand over her mouth. "No one should be forgotten. Right Pinkie Pie?" Fluttershy didn't get any response. "Pinkie Pie?"

As Wallflower listened to everyone's words, suddenly a shadow loomed over her. She looked and was unprepared as she was suddenly pulled into a bone crushing hug by none other then the everyone's favorite cotton-candy haired girl.

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie!" Pinkie Pie introduced herself in the only way she knew how. "I'm super-duper sorry that we haven't noticed you before but now we know each other and can start becoming the bestest friends!"

Wallflowers face went went as her cheeks was pulled up against the pink girls cheek. Her heart rate increased from how close to the two were as Pinkie simply smiled happily as she pulled Wallflower into the hug tighter. However, at this point Wallflower's face went from red to blue as she started to lose the ability to breath.

"Pinkie! Down girl!" Lincoln shouted to her as he watched Wallflowers face go from green to red, then blue. "She can't breath!"

Pinkie released Wallflower from the hug, allowing the green skinned girl to breath. Pinkie smile never left her face as she simply said. "Whoospy-doopsy! Sorry about that!"

"...It's...alright…" Wallflower managed to say in between breaths as she started to stand up.

"Alright, getting back on track." Rainbow Dash said as she looked over to Lincoln and Twilight. "So you two are looking to dethrone Sunset Shimmer and for Twilight to become Princess of the Fall Formal huh?"

Twilight and Lincoln looked to each other before Twilight simply gave a sheepish smile and nod. Rainbow then started to juggle the soccer ball with her knees as she said. "Gottta say, I'd love to see that happen. I'll totally help you out." The athlete told them, making them smile. However, Rainbow Dash then looked to Twilight and said. "All you gotta do is beat me in a game of one-on-one?"

"What?" Twilight gasped with worry as Rainbow Dash begun explaining.

"First to five goals wins." The blue skinned girl said as she kicked the soccer ball up and did a flip kick to it and sent it into the nearby goal. "One-Zip!"

Twilight looked with a completely worried look. She didn't know how to play this game and she's still getting used to her human body. But just then Lincoln stepped forward and said. "No hold on, I wanna take you on!"

However, Rainbow looked to Lincoln and rolled her eyes. "Sorry, but it's Twilight here that's running for Fall Formel and trying to dethrone Sunset. I think she should be the one proving herself to me."

Lincoln glared at Rainbow. No way Twilight would be able to beat her, even if she knew what Soccer was. He had to think of a way for Rainbow to accept his challenge instead so they'd have a shot. Just then Lincoln smirked as an idea came to his head and he said. "What's wrong Rainbow? Scared of losing to a boy?"

"Ooooooooo!" The rest of the CHS let out as Lincoln said that. Twilight looked to Lincoln with widened eyes as Rainbow slowly turned to Lincoln and glared hard at him.

"Say...that...again." Rainbow challenged in a tone that Lincoln knew all too well from his older sister Lynn.

"I said...are you scared...of losing...to a boy." Lincoln said back as he got right into Rainbow's face and looked her in the eye.

Everyone was silent as Rainbow narrowed her eyes harshly at the Loud boy and said. "It's...on!"


And on it was. Everyone watched as the two battled it out on the soccer field. Thanks to his constant hero work, playing with his sister Lynn, Lincoln was no slouch and was able to keep up with Rainbow Dash and score some girls.

But Rainbow Dash still proved a challenge as she still had much better actual experience with the sport then Lincoln and was able to one-up the white-head a number of times.

Currently the score between the two was tied up. 4 to 4. Everyone was watching anxiously as Lincoln currently had the ball and was heading towards Rainbow's goal with said girl hot on his heels.

Currently Wallflower was watching the white-head with her fingers crossed and muttered. "Come on Lincoln." Rooting for her friend.

Just then a tub of popcorn was handed over to her and she looked to see it was Pinkie as the party girl looked at her with a smile and said. "Popcorn?" with a smile as she took a handful of it and ate it happily.

"Thanks." Wallflower accepted with a smile as she took a bit of popcorn and ate it. She hummed at the taste as it was sweeter than popcorn normally is. Wallflower turned to the pink girl and asked her, "Where'd you get it?" While taking some more.

"I was keeping it in my hair." Pinkie Pie answered casually as she took more. Wallflower stopped eating as she looked slowly to the popcorn in her hand and chewed very slowly on the popcorn still in her mouth.

She then looked to Pinkie again and saw the pink girl stick her hand in her hair and dig around a bit before pulling out a salt shaker. "Want some salt with that?" Pinkie offered as she handed the salt to Wallflower.

Back at the game, Lincoln, the ball at his feet, was approaching the goal with Rainbow right behind him. Lincoln then came to a stop as he prepared to kick the ball into the goal, but suddenly Rainbow's leg came in and lightly pulled on the leg that was still on the ground and tripped Lincoln.

"Hahahaha!" Rainbow laughed as she took the ball and began running off towards the other end of the field.

Twilight and the CHS students all gasped at the dirty move Rainbow just pulled with Wallflower standing up and pointing to Rainbow and yelling. "THAT'S CHEATING!"

"All's fair in love and war!" Rainbow Dash yelled as she got closer and closer to the goal.

"Is that so huh?!" Lincoln yelled before he smirked and went for the Ultimatrix.

"What's he doing with his watch?" Rarity asked as everyone watched Lincoln turn the core of the device on his wrist.

"Oh boy." Twilight muttered. After this they would have some explaining to do to their new CHS friends.

Lincoln then quickly found the alien he was looking for and slammed down the core. Everyone watched as Lincoln was covered by a green flash and then-

"Fasttrack!" A high pitched voice yelled out as suddenly an orange and black blur emerged from the flash.

Before Rainbow knew she was suddenly tripped and the ball was kicked up high into the sky. The blur then jumped up high towards the ball and performed a roundhouse kick and the ball was sent rocketing towards the other goal and even creating a small crater when it landed.

They then watched as Lincoln's Citrakayah transformation land on the field on his feet. Everyone but Twilight's jaw dropped at the scene as Fasttrack turned to a completely stunned Rainbow Dash and said. "Guess I win."

"...WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?" Rarity yelled she stood up from her seat.

"Hehehe...we can explain." Twilight said nervously.


And so explained they did. Once everyone was able to somewhat calm down, Lincoln went on to explain the Ultimatrix to them. Needless to say, they were pretty shocked and surprised to hear that the white-head was capable of with that device on his wrist.

"That's...certainly a lot to take in." Applejack commented as she finally regained the ability to speak.

"Yeah, sorry about just surprising you guys with it." Lincoln said sheepishly. It probably would have been better to not just surprise them with it like that, but Rainbow forced his hand, er, wrist.

"Well, you surprised us for sure." Wallflower said as she scratched her head as she tried to process everything she was just told.

"Thats...so...COOL!" Pinkie said as she started to rush and look at Lincoln. "You're like a real life superhero!"

"Heh, you could say that." Lincoln said with a small smirk.

"Well, even though you kinda cheated…" Rainbow Dash was saying as Lincoln gave her a blank look, not bothering to state she cheated as well by tripping him. "You still did beat me, so I'll give ya guys a helping hand in."

"Alright! Thank you so much Rainbow Dash!" Twilight said as she gave the athlete a quick hug.

"No prob." Rainbow Dash said as she returned the hug. "So, what's the plan for dethroning Sunset?"

"We're...still working on that." Twilight admitted with a nervous chuckle.

"Oh! Why don't we head over the Sugarcube Corner and discuss it." Rarity suggested as she was in the mood for a coffee right now.

Everyone muttered in agreement over the meeting place and as they were doing so, Wallflower looked to every and gave a small smile before she started to walk away. But she didn't get far as suddenly she bumped into someone. She looked to see it was Pinkie that suddenly appeared in front of her and gave her a bit of a sad look. "Where are you going?" She asked in a tone that matched her expression.

"We-well…" Wallflower again as she tried to find the words. "You all seem to be in the middle of something important a-and I just met you all. I-I don't wanna get in the way or anything."

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?" Pinkie let out as as she waved it off with a 'pfft' and said. "You're not in the way at all silly-willy!"

"But-" Wallflower said but was interrupted.

"She's right darling, why don't you join us." Rarity offered with a generous smile.

"R-Really?" Wallflower said with a surprised look.

"Uh-huh." Fluttershy said with a nod before she looked away and covered her face with her hair. "I-If you wa-want to o-of course."

"Come on Wallflower, we'd love to have you on board." Twilight added with a big smile.

Wallflower could only watch everyone looking at her with open arms. Something she's never really seen before. Her eyes started to sparkle as her cheeks turned pink and a small smile came to her lips. Finally, she spoke. "Well...if you all really want me that bad...then who am I to say no?"

Everyone cheered when suddenly Pinkie pulled Wallflower into tight hug causing the green skinned girl to go red again from the gesture.

Lincoln chuckled at the whole scene before his face suddenly turned a bit serious as he turned to everyone and said. "You guys go. You can fill me in on the plan later."

Everyone turned to him surprised as Applejack asked. "What do you mean Linc?" The farm girl asked. "Ain't you comin?"

"Actually...there's something else I gotta do." Lincoln said in a calm voice, making everyone raise a brow. "Do any of you know where I can find Sunset Shimmer after school?"

Everyone gasped at what Lincoln asked. Everyone except Wallflower. She had a few guesses as to why Lincoln was asking that. "Why do you wanna know darling? Need I remind that she was the one who divided the entire school apart." Rarity said as she looked at Lincoln like he was crazy.

"Oh! Wait, I know why!" Rainbow Dash said as she gave an excited smile at Lincoln. "You're gonna find her, transform into one of those alien hero dudes and beat her ass into the ground!"

"...No." Lincoln answered seriously, surprising everyone again. "I just wanna talk with her."

"But...why?" Twilight asked with a confused tone.

"...It's just something I have to do." Lincoln said again in the same tone.

Everyone still looked at him confused. Why did he want to talk to her? Before anyone could question anything else, Wallflower spoke up. "I-I know where she is." The green skinned girl told as everyone looked to her.

"You do?" Lincoln asked her and urged her to go on.

"Y-Yeah." She confirmed. "She works at this sushi restaurant at the mall. I go there sometimes. The sushi there is really good. Sunset Shimmer works there as a waitress."

"Thanks Wallflower. I gotta get over there." Lincoln said as he started walking towards everyone. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. He had it with him since Twilight first opened the portal that sent him to Equestria and he's kept it around. Of course it couldn't call anyone or use wifi in Equestria, he could still use the non-internet required stuff and charge it with his electric forms. But here he should at least be able to use it to contact other people from this human world. Even if isn't the same as his own.

"Here's my number." Lincoln said as he showed his contact information to Wallflower. The green skinned girl nodded and pulled out her own phone and quickly wrote down his number into her phone. "Text me the plan, I gotta get to that restaurant."

Everyone then watched as Lincoln walked away, not even giving anyone a chance to speak up to him again. They all simply looked at each other and shrugged and let Lincoln do what he wanted to do.


Later into the day, Lincoln was now in the Cantorlot City Mall. It wasn't hard to find after asking someone for directions. Once inside, Lincoln quickly found the map of the mall and found the sushi restaurant was located on the first floor near the fountain.

Lincoln quickly walked over there and found a restaurant named "The Fishing Hole." and quickly assumed this was it. He went inside and requested a table and thanks to it not being busy today, he was able to be seated immediately.

After a few minutes of waiting, he heard footsteps coming towards him followed by a familiar voice in an annoyed tone. "Alright, let's make this quick. What do you want to drink?" Lincoln looked to see that, sure enough, Sunset Shimmer was walking over to him, not noticing it was him due to holding a notepad in front of her face.

Her uniform consisted of what looked like a mix between a basic waitress outfit and a japense kimono. It was primarily blue with white marks over it and the center being a white apron with a chibi octopus on it and a pufferfish hair piece.

"Hey." Lincoln greeted simply.

Sunset's eyes widened when she heard the familiar voice. She looked to see Lincoln looking at her with a neutral expression and a wave. Sunset looked at him with a very annoyed looked and asked again. "What...do you...want...to drink." She asked aggressively, wanting this to be over quickly.

"I don't wanna drink. I just wanna talk." Lincoln told her calmy.

"Well, then I guess we're done here." Sunset said rudely as she started walking away.

"Then I guess you won't get you tip." Lincoln said. Sunset gritted her teeth and looked behind her...and saw Lincoln holding up three 20$ bills.

Sunset looked at the money before giving Lincoln and light glare. She walked up to him and snatched the money from him before sitting across from him, crossing her arms and sayings. "You got 5 minutes."

Lincoln then let out a sigh as he faced Sunset and said. "First, I wanna say...I'm sorry."

"What?" Sunset asked with a raised brow.

"I'm sorry for what I did and said to you. I lost control and shouldn't have reacted like that." Lincoln specified while looking Sunset in the eye.

Sunset simply glared at Lincoln in response as she said. "Is that it? If you seriously think a stupid little apology is gonna make me-"

"I'm not done yet." Lincoln interrupted her with the same tone he's been talking in the whole time. "I also wanna say... I understand."

"Huh?" Sunset asked rudely with a raised eyebrow.

"I understand." Lincoln answered again. "I understand what it's like to feel unwanted. Not no feel needed. To feel...alone."

Sunset's bully and rude demeanor had finally broken as she suddenly tensed up. "Wh-what?" She said in a surprised tone as she suddenly had a few beads of nervous sweat go down her head.

"Listen, I live with ten sisters." Lincoln told her, honestly surprising Sunset in a completely different way. "All of them have their own special talents. My sister Luan's a comedian, my sister Lana's great with animals and tools, and my sister Leni has her fashion talent and the list goes on. And for most of my life, I can honestly say I was jealous of them."

"Wh-where are you going with this?" Sunset asked as he demeanor continued to slowly break. Lincoln's eyes were able to see that Sunset started to lightly tremble and her arms shifted a bit. She was starting to hug herself.

Lincoln then continued, hoping to get Sunset to open up. "I really didn't have a talent of my own. I was pretty much just the boy of the family. I didn't really find myself all to special and could only watch as everyone would praise them and their trophy cases would fill up. I felt pretty insecure about myself. I would always try the craziest things to try and accomplish stuff. But a lot of the time I would end up humiliating myself or get my sisters into some sort of crossfire. It's like everything I did just...didn't matter."

Sunset's condition only got worse as her trembling got more noticable, her breathing got more rapid, and she held herself tighter. "Where...are you going with this." Sunset said quietly through her teeth.

"I'm saying I know how you feel." Lincoln answered simply as he gave Sunset a soft sympetic smile. "I had friends, but...I still didn't think too highly of myself. And by sisters used to push me around a lot. Until I was 11, I really didn't have anything that really made me stand out. Like...if I wasn't a part of my family...nothing would even change."

Sunset went completely quiet when Lincoln said that. She froze as her breathing got funny. Just then she shot up as she quickly left the booth. "Ok! We're done here!" Sunset quickly said as she got up from the booth.

But she failed to notice Lincoln stood up when she did and as Sunset and as Sunset was trying to calm herself down and regain her demouner, she couldn't do anything as Lincoln walked up to her...and hugged her.

Sunset froze as the Loud boy pulled her into a soft hug. She didn't struggle or do anything as Lincoln held her close and said. "You don't have to do this. You don't have to be alone anymore."

Sunset's eyes widened again when he said that in a comforting tone, the kind you'd expect to hear from a big brother cheering up their young sibling after they've had a bad day. Sunset stood still for a few moments until she was finally able to snap back to her senses and pushed Lincoln back and out of the hug.

Lincoln's demeanor didn't change as he kept looking at Sunset with the same sympathetic expression and soft smile. Sunset kept trembling as water started to build up in her eyes. She did her best to glare at Lincoln as she reached into her pocket and took the 60$ Lincoln gave her and slammed it down on the table.

"Keep your stupid money!" Sunset said in an almost broken tone. "When I get that crown...I won't need it!" And with that, Sunset quickly power walked away.

As Lincoln watched her left, he picked up the money and said one thing.

"I'm not giving up on you."


Back with Sunset, she quickly made her way to the girls bathroom in the restaurant and locked herself in the stall. She pounded her first against the stall door as she breathed heavily and could do nothing to stop the tears that fell down her eyes.

The conversation she had with Lincoln kept playing in her head.

'I understand.'

"Shut up!" Sunset said as her legs started trembling as she pounded the door again.

'I'm saying I know how you feel.'

"No you don't!" Sunset shouted again as she slowly started to fall to the floor.

'You don't have to be alone anymore.'

"Just...leave...me...alone…" Sunset said as she fell to her knees and lightly hit the door as she started to quietly sob.

Back with Lincoln, he was simply sitting on a bench in the mall thinking. Thinking of a way to get Sunset to crack and finally open up. It was pretty much confirmed now through her reactions that she had something more to her.

And he was determined to help her.

Just then he felt a vibration in his pocket. He took out his phone and saw he got a text from an unknown number. It must have been Wallflowers. Most likely the plan to get the students to vote for Twilight.

He opened it up and read it.

"...Huh...that's quite the plan."


THE NEXT DAY

It was the third day. The day where the Fall Formel would be taking place. The day where the portal would close. Currently, it was lunch time at CHS as all the students were separated into their groups.

And currently, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Wallflower Blush, and Lincoln were sitting around the lunch room in different places. All of them were wearing CHS Wondercolts shirts, pony tails, and headbands with with pony ears on them.

Just then Pinkie came up to the lunch line and put on her own headband as she grabbed a lunch tray and started beating it against the counter in a beat.

And then the rest of their friends started adding to the beat. Rarity stomping and clapping her hands, Fluttershy banging cups against the table, Wallflower banging spoons against a row of upside down bowls, and Lincoln slamming his fist down on the table. Just then Spike, who was sitting in the corner in Twilight backpack, hit a button on a radio with a phone in it causing it to play music.

And then...they started singing.

AJ, FS, RD, R, PP, WB, and LL:

Hey, hey, everybody! We got something to say!

We may seem as different as the night is from day!

But you look a little deeper and you will see that I'm just like you! And you're just like me! Yeah!

All of them then started going around the lunchroom and getting everybody's attention about the song so they would listen to what they had to say.

AJ, FS, RD, R, PP, WB, and LL:

Hey, hey, everybody!

We're here to shout that the Magic of Friendship is what it's all about!

Yeah!

You thought we we were different as the night is from the day!

Until Twilight Sparkle helped us see another way!

So get up! Get down!

If you're gonna come around!

We can work together helping Twilight win the crown!

So get up! Get down!

Cause it's gonna make a sound!

If we work together helping Twilight Sparkle win the crown!

As they all started to get the others into the song and beat, suddenly Pinkie Pie took over as she started to get other's attention.

Pinkie Pie:

Hey! Hey! Hands up now!

We're sending a message to the crowd!

Hands wave up! Then come down!

We party together all around!

Rarity:

Generous, Honestly,

Applejack:

Laughter, Kindness, Loyalty!

Fluttershy and Wallflower Blush:

Twilight helped us each to see,

Lincoln and Rainbow Dash:

All that we can be!

AJ, FS, RD, R, PP, WB, and LL:

So get up! Get down!

If you're gonna come around!

We can work together helping Twilight win the crown!

So get up! Get down!

Cause it's gonna make a sound!

If we work together helping Twilight Sparkle win the crown!

Lincoln and Wallflower then opened the doors to the lunch room revealing Twilight wearing her own CHS shirt, ears, and tail. She then came into the lunch room and started singing herself.

Twilight Sparkle:

I'm gonna be myself, no matter what I do.

And if we're different yeah I want you to be true to you.

If you follow me. We'll put our differences aside!

We'll stick together and start working on the that SCHOOL PRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE!

Everyone:

Jump up! Make a sound!

Stomp your hooves! turn around!

Start now! Make a change!

Gonna come around!

Jump up! Make a sound!

Cantorlot Wondercolts!

YEAH!

Once they finished, everyone in the lunchroom had come together during the song, laughing and singing together. Being friends.

Once the group saw the success of their song, they all laughed and cheered together with Pinkie pulling Wallflower into another tight hug,

Lincoln then turned to the audience and said. "Not gonna lie. That felt great!"

Things were looking up for Twilight winning.


Another chapter of this arc completed! As you can see I'm doing quite a bit with Wallflower Blush and trust me it's not gonna end here. Me and my friend Petrus have planned a lot with her and we're really excited! And I hope you guys are to!
