"Seriously, THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE! …have better things to do that lose time watching that Twilight acting deluded out of a silly story"
"Hey! just because she acted a bit over the top it doesn't mean she is deluded" called Rainbow back.
"Yeah right" Trixie said in uninterested tone "and HOW does this help?...it only showed us that Twilight is really a bookworm without friends or anything magical to her name"
The rest of the Rainbooms looked at her with anger and RD seems ready to jump at her.
"Not exactly" sounded the voice of Flash Sentry "as Sunset said this apparently is before she gained her tittle, and did show us a bit of her world, or at least some of it"
"Well said Mr. Sentry" called Principal Celestia "must said I was quite interested in the lore of that story at the start"
"In the story or because apparently you are the protagonist of it?" called Luna making her sister blush.
"Ehem…plus I have the suspicion this actually could be of importance later" she continued ignoring the smug smile on her little sis "after all that discord did tell all on this showed the moments that give shape to twilight`s life"
Sunset smiled at this as the students began murmuring and chatting about this.
"She is right" she said calling everyone`s attention "this is just the beginning so let's just continue and see what happen"
"so, let's continue!" called Pinky pressing play in her laptop.
Above the Equestrian landscape, a pegasus-drawn, flying gold chariot carried Twilight and Spike over the clouds.
"Oh my!" Rarity got stars on her eyes seeing the chariot.
"Ok…how the…how those that even works?" Micro Chips and some of his techy friends were more than confused seeing the carriot flying…with the wheels turning as if they were on the ground.
"I don't know dude but must said that looks radical" Sandalwood added.
"My dear Twilight" read Spike to a not enthused Twilight "There is more to a young pony's life than studying." the viewers noticed the two pegasi pulling the vehicule were white stallions in gold livery and shoes. They had two-tone blue tails and matching crests on their helmets "So I'm sending you to supervise the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration in this year's location, Ponyville."
"Oh hohoho those dudes looks awesome" Rainbow said seeing the Pegasus guards "just look that sweat looking armor"
"Hehehe yeah Celestia's guards do tend to look good on those armors" said Sunset with a smile.
"Oh, so those are also part of the royal guard?" asked Rarity "my my traveling like royalty even before the crown…oh Twilight I'm getting jealous"
"Not exactly" said Sunset after giggling a bit at her friend`s reaction "all the local guards and military forces tent to use that same armor not just Celestia's personal guard" she explained as everyone turned to listen her "and using a Pegasus chariot is actually a common way to travel from Canterlot" she thought for a moment "if you want something faster that the train…or just want something more private"
"is safe to said only high class…ponies will be using them more often than normal folks?" asked Bon Bon getting a nod form Sunset "then Rarity asseveration is not far from reality"
As Spike read the letter the clouds parted away to reveal a pleasant looking small town with wood framed and thatched roof buildings bordered by a stream and mountain. On one side a fenced fruit orchard could be noticed.
"Well I must say that place looks quite cozy" said Applejack as she admired the town. Especially when the orchard came to view "looks like the type of place I won't mind to live in"
"Eeyup" Big Mac agreed with his sister.
"I agree with you" said Fluttershy "that place looks quite pleasant and calm"
"You said it Flutter" Sweet Leaves added "this place looks like it's in harmony with nature" the eco-kids agreed there.
"And I have an even more essential task for you to complete...make some friends." Spike finished as Twilight hanged her head over the side with a soft moan. "Look on the bright side, Twilight. The Princess arranged for you to stay in a library. Doesn't that make you happy?"
"Yes...Yes it does. You know why?" Twilight asked brightening suddenly "Because I'm right. I'll check on the preparations as fast as I can, then get to the library to find some proof of Nightmare Moon's return." She declared as they approached the town.
"ugg is she still with THAT?" Trixie complained.
"well is like principal Celestia said…it may be important" said Sunset also wondering the same thing.
" Then when will you make friends like the princess said?" asked the dragon as they made their final descent.
" She said to check on preparations. I am her student, and I'll do my royal duty, but the fate of Equestria does not rest on me making friends." Declared the unicorn as they touched the ground.
Suddenly Sunset had quite a deja vu feeling.
"Thank you, sirs" Twilight said to the stallions after climbing out the chariot, making them smile and huff proudly in response, before turning to Spike, who was now also out.
"Maybe the ponies in Ponyville have interesting things to talk about!" Spike said as a bright pink earth pony (as she didnt had a horn or wings) with a fluffy, curly magenta mane and tail approached from the other end of the street.
Suddenly everyone blinked…then blinked again…looked at the screen as hard as they could….be totally sure they were seeing the same thing…then blink again as their brains tried to comprehend what they were seeing.
The mare, who had a cutie mark consisting of three balloons (two blue and one yellow), stopped in front of the pair and regarded them with narrowed, medium blue eyes and a smile.
Everyone looked the screen…then at the fluffy pink haired girl (who didn't realize everyone was watching her)…then back to the screen...then back to her…
" Come on, Twilight, just try"
The unicorn looked uncertain before trying to greet the mare.
" Uh…hello?"
The pink one responded with a massive gasp of pure surprise, then a leap that left her briefly suspended in midair, and finally by dashing away leaving the unicorn/dragon duo with the dust.
" Well, that was interesting, all right" Twilight rolled her eyes unimpressed.
"tsh I know right" said Pinkie Pie with an annoyed tone crossing her arms "I mean, rude much?... wonder who that pony was?"
Everyone looked at her... tried to understand…then look at the screen…then at her...thought for a moment….and then everyone facepalmed at the same time.
"something wrong guys?" asked Pinkie wondering why they were acting weird.
"let's just…continue" asked/begged Rainbow Dash.
Twilight trotted off. Spike followed her with a weary moan.
not much later the pair proceed through the orchard seen on the edge of town; Spike had a scroll and a pencil in hand.
"Summer Sun Celebration Official Overseer's Checklist." Spike read as they reached an open fence gate leading into a farm, and a really big one for what it could be seen. A couple of barns, barrels, hay bales, and so forth not to mention the acres and acres of trees that extended to the horizon. Above the gate hanged a wooden board with an apple-shaped cutout. "Number one. Banquet preparations...Sweet Apple Acres."
The three Apples looked in surprise at the mention of their home and more when the overlook of the place came up.
"Well, slap my head and call me silly! It is our home" said Applejack on a surprise tone.
"Oh whoa…and more than that. Its…really big" said Apple bloom looking all the trees, the barns and even the hills in the horizon.
"I said I will like to know what fertilizer they use for this" added Granny smith amazed by all the apple trees she was seeing.
"Eeyup"
" Yee-haa!"A heavily Southern accented female voice made them stop.
They turned to see an orange-tan earth pony mare with a tousled blond mane and tail, both loosely tied back with red bands. She was wearing a brown cowboy hat and had green eyes and a trio of small red apples as a cutie mark. The mare was racing up to one apple tree, which had several empty wooden tubs set around its base, where she turned and gave its trunk a solid kick or "buck" with her hind legs. The strike shook enough apples loose to fill the tubs in seconds. The mare lifted her head proudly and crosses one foreleg over the other exposing a small cluster of light freckles at the outer corner of each eye.
"Well call me impress" Granny said "that certainly it's a way to pull down some apples"
"You said it Granny" said Applejack with a smile watching her pony counterpart "and now I know why Twilight recognized me that easily the first time we met"
"She really looks like you darling" Rarity added "freckles and all"
"Forget the freckles! she just kicked a tree and made apples fall" RD said exited "can you do that?" she asked to her friend.
"ummm can't said I have tried before but…now that I have pony magic maybe I could try" AJ said as she wondered if later she could try kick some apples down her trees.
" Let's get this over with" said Twilight handing her head with a sigh and walked forwards with Spike following her.
"Good afternoon" the unicorn said with a polite tone "My name is Twilight Sparkle" that was all she could said before her face contorted in sudden pain, due to Applejack grabbing one of her front hooves and shaking it vigorously.
" Well, howdy do, Miss Twilight. A pleasure makin' your acquaintance." The farmer answered with a boisterous and friendly voice. "I'm Applejack. We here at Sweet Apple Acres sure do like makin' new friends.
"Friends?…Actually, I..." Twilight tried to talk but her tone came out like a vibration while Applejack let her hoof go.
"So, what can I do you for?" the orange mare asked winking at the visits.
Not realizing that her hoof has been released, Twilight was still unconsciously working it up and down. Spike finally stopped its motion and laughed as she gave him a dirty look.
"Hehehehe" Rarity giggled "I feel for you Twilight, she did the same to me the first time we met"
Applejack blushed as nods and sames began sounding around.
"Hehehe seems I must learn to control myself"
"Oh nonono don't worry darling" Rarity said "this just show now we know no matter the world you are as friendly and exited as always" she gave her friend a side hug "that's something you don't have to be shamed around, in fact it's quite one of your bests qualities"
"Thanks, Rares" the cowgirl blushed and smiled back in gratitude.
Twilight cleared her throat and smiled before talking back.
"Well, I am in fact here to supervise preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration. And you're in charge of the food?"
"We sure as sugar are. Would you care to sample some?" the farmer asked.
" Well, as long as it doesn't take..." before twilight could finish Applejack already zipped away. "...too long."
The orange mare rang an iron triangle before yelling at high volume.
" SOUP'S ON, EVERYPONY!
A stampede of earth ponies swept Spike and Twilight away before leaving both dazed and seated at a table with Applejack popping up next to them.
"Whoa…how many people live with you exactly?" Sandalwood asked in wonder for the number of ponies.
"Not that much I assure you" said Applejack with a thoughtful look "usually it's just me my siblings and granny...ummmmm, this probably happen during a family reunion"
"You might be right I think I saw some of our family faces on those ponies" Apple Bloom added.
"Your family comes on those numbers to your home for reunions?" asked Sunset.
"Not always" answered her friend "we don't have family reunions on my home all the time. Sometimes we are the ones traveling to their homes, but yeah usually on those numbers"
"I said it once and I said it again, you have quite a large family" Rainbow said in awe.
"Aint that the true" said AJ with pride "a big family and we always ready to go have fun even when our jobs make us travel big distances"
"Eeyeup" the other three Apples said at the same time.
"That's so cool" Pinkie pie said "I wish I was part of that family. That way my parents and sisters could be part of the fun" she added with a smile.
"Hehehe you might not be born an Apple but you are part of my family now Pinkie pie" Applejack said with a smile "you and all of you" she said referring to her friends "and that includes you too Sunset" she added hugging the red head who smiled at her.
"Now, why don't I introduce y'all to the Apple family?" Applejack offered. With the arrivals looking on eagerly.
However, if anything Twilight looked more than ready to bolt out.
"Thanks, but I really need to hurry" she tried to said only for a piece of dessert to be put in front of her by one of the ponies, followed by another, and another, AND ANOTHER with Applejack introducing them as they left a food sample in front of the purple mare that soon began growing in size.
"This here's Apple Fritter, Apple Bumpkin, Red Gala, Red Delicious… …Golden Delicious, Caramel Apple…" the pile of food grew big enough to cover the view of basically anyone behind it "… Apple Strudel, Apple Tart, Baked Apples, Apple Brioche, Apple Cinnamon Crisp…"
"Whoa seems all the family assisted that reunion" said Apple Bloom.
"Eeyeup" said Big Mac
"Ummm haven't heard of Golden Delicious for a time now" said Granny smith "I wonder if she got rid of those cats of hers? Not to criticize but having 4 cats on that house wasn't good for her"
"I'm actually getting hungry" Bulk Biceps said his stomach growled at seeing all the food.
"you said it Bulk" agreed Pinkie Pie also drooling at the sight of all those baking goods.
"does anyone have a snack?"
"THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE!...has peanut butter crackers"
By this point, the stack of food had grown so tall that Twilight and Spike had to climb up to see over it. Applejack popped up again and took a huge breath before continuing to the next two members as the orange pony´s family. The first was a large red stallion with birdcatcher spots, sleepy green eyes, hooves tipped with pale yellow, and a shaggy orange mane wearing a hitching collar, and had half a green apple as a cutie mark; he balanced a cupcake on one hoof. The second, was a young filly with no cutie mark, light yellow coat, reddish gold eyes, and a red mane and tail. A three layer cake was balanced on her back, just behind the large pink bow that secured her mane.
"Ahhhh Apple bloom looks so cute" Applejack cooed at the sight of the young pony "it reminds me when she was just a little girl" she patted the head of her sister much to her annoyance.
"AJ cut it out!" she protested "I don't look anything like that" she pouted (which made her look as cute as the little filly on the opinion of everyone)
"Now that's a lie and you know it" her sister said in sinning voice.
"Your sister is right little bloom" Granny smith said as she began searching for something on her pockets "in fact think I have some pics of you as a baby that we can use to compare"
"GRANNY NO…NOT THE PICTURES" the young sister jumped on her gran trying to stop her from pulling out the embarrassing pictures.
" …Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom…" a pause as the image focused on her and Twilight for a moment "…aaaaand…"
"Ahh it's not fair, all the family have tattoos except pony me" Apple Bloom whined noticing her pony counterpart didn´t had a mark.
"Maybe that's a sight for you to stop trying to get one" her sister added in half hopeful half ordering voice.
"Weeeeelllllll" Sunset started making both to look at her "for what I can see that Apple Bloom it's still quite young so she probably hasn't found a true talent yet...so she is still on time for a pony of her age to get her mark" she finished making Apple Bloom to smile in victory at her sister.
"Thanks a lot Sunset" AJ said on deadpan voice.
She stuffed a whole apple in Twilight's mouth and dashed off to show an old, light green mare whose mane and tail had gone white and were tied in a bun. Her cutie mark was an apple pie, and she was wearing an apple-decorated shawl around her neck. She was snoozing in a rocking chair
" …Granny Smith" Applejack announced before awakening the old mare " Up and at 'em, Granny Smith! We got guests!"
" Wha...?" She woke up with a snort, opening her eyes just enough to show them be red/orange. "Soup's on…I'm a—here I come, I'm comin'…" Her voice carried the same Southern accent as Applejack.
"Umm that's weird" Apple Bloom said "that granny looks quite thin in comparison with…"
"In comparison with who?" the voice of her grandmother froze her in place as the eldest Apple sent her a suspicion look. "what were you trying to said dear?"
"Ehhh...me?...nothing…nothing at all!" she said moving close to her sister in search for protection (read meat shield)
Her joints creaked audibly as she moved towards the table where Twilight still had her mouth full from the fruit Applejack shoved into it.
"Why, I'd say they're already part of the family." Applejack said patting Twilight's back making her spit the chewed-up apple.
The purple mare chuckled nervously
"Okay, well, I can see the food situation is handled, so we'll be on our way." Only to get disappointed looks from the others.
"Aren't you gonna stay for brunch?" a young female Southern voice sounded close. Twilight turned to see little Apple Bloom, who has gotten rid of the cake on her back and was now giving Twilight the big sad soulful eyes.
"Ahhh poor thing" Fluttershy said in sad tone with other girls in the audience nodding their heads feeling for the filly`s sad expression.
"Hehehe it really it's my sister alright" Applejack said with a chuckle "when she was little she did a similar face every time she wanted something"
"Although can see why Twilight wants to leave" said Flash to AJ "don't take this the wrong way but your…umm pony-family and your other self are a bit pushy"
"Don't worry I get it" said the farmer girl "although can't help but wonder about it. I mean the Twilight we met was quite friendly herself and ready to get involve on a party"
"Umm as Sunset mention this was quite before you meet her" said Celestia "since if memory doesn't fail me she was already a princess when she met you all"
"That's true and I know she was Celestia, well MY Celestia…no wait I mean Princess Celestia´s student not long after i…umm leave" said Sunset trying to ignore the inquisitive look of the principal.
"People can change with time" said Luna "maybe something happened between them that made them friends at the end"
"Kind of like you and me sister?" added Celestia with a smile and a small giggle "I remember you been quite the rebel on our early years giving me quite the headaches"
"Oh please" the vice principal rolled her eyes "do you want me to bring up the cake eating competition phase?"
With that the principal coughed and signal the video to continue.
" Sorry, but we have an awful lot to do" Twilight tried to apologize.
"Awww…" all the Apple family sighed in disappointment.
Small pause
"uggg Fine." Twilight said in unwillingly tone. Causing everyone to cheer .
later, under a blue sky marked by a few wisps of cloud.
Spike came over a hill with his checklist "Food's all taken care of. Next is weather" said the dragon looking back to see Twilight trailing by several steps, her gut badly distended and her head nearly touching the ground.
No one could hold up a laugh at seeing the poor pony`s fate.
"I ate too much pie." Twilight groaned in discomfort
"Hmmm…there's supposed to be a Pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash clearing the clouds" pointed Spike.
The same named girl looked up excited to see her pony self.
"Alright I'm next" she said with a smile.
"Pegasus?" Bon Bon wonder "so a horse with wings…and Twilight it's a unicorn, a horse with a horn…umm so how you call Applejack`s type?"
"Earth Pony" answered Sunset.
"Earth Pony?" Applejack asked in confusion.
"yeah, a pony that don't have wings or horn is an earth pony"
"so why not call it simply a pony?" Bonbon asked.
"Each tribe might look different but at the end we all are ponies" Sunset said in a philosophical like manner
" Well, she's not doing a very good job, is she?" Twilight said looking up and seeing several clouds covering the sky
"Hey!" Rainbow cried feeling insulted "I will let you know I always give the best on my work"
"Your notes said otherwise miss Dash" vice principal Luna said making everyone chuckle.
With no warning, a multicolored blur flashed across the screen tackling the purple unicorn away. Globs of mud splattered back from the puddle in which they have landed; on top of Twilight was a sky blue Pegasus mare whose unruly mane and tail were striped with all the colors of the rainbow. She had reddish-violet eyes and a cutie mark of a red, yellow and blue-striped lightning bolt issuing from a cloud.
This was, of coarse, Rainbow Dash.
"And there she is ladies and gentlemen" said Rainbow with pride in her voice "the best pouggggg" she was interrupted by Pinkie pie covering her mouth with her hand. A frightful expression in her face.
"Are you crazy? !" she said in hurry tone "do you want to start a riot THIS early?" she turned to the camera and smiled "all is fine, nothing to start a flame war here, please moving on"
Everyone just blinked and returned to the screen.
Twilight groaned softly, muffled slightly by the mud, before Rainbow got upright with a big goofy grin.
"hehehe Uh…'scuse me? "Her voice had a raspy, tomboyish quality to it. She laughed a bit more as she hovered a few feet up and Twilight groaned again.
"Let me help you" the rainbow maned Pegasus flew away really fast with Twilight having barely enough time to stand up before the pegasus returned pushing a gray cloud above the puddle before proceeding to jump on it. A few stomps on it and rain fell on top of the unicorn like a quick shower; leaving Twilight clean but soaked head to tail. Rainbow' giggled floating down from the cloud.
"Ok what!? how did she do that?" Cheerilee asked.
"Well she just pushed down a cloud, jump on it making it rain" Said Pinkie before whispering to Fluttershy "seriously and she said we don't pay attention in class?"
"No... I mean yes…I mean… I don't mean just that" the teacher said "I mean you can't simply push a cloud like that…they aren't fluffy they are made of water"
"Same in Equestria" said Sunset calling her attention "however you aren't considering the fact rainbow there is a Pegasus" everyone turn to her to hear better the new piece of information "Pegasus have the special ability to manipulate and control weather" explained the orange haired girl "unlike earth ponies, unicorns or humans they do can interact with clouds and produce rain like that, also their wings can produce from simple breezes to powerful tornados, generally when more than one Pegasus is involve"
"So, Pegasi are the ones in charge to make rain?" asked Celestia
"Rain, snow, storms, clear the sky" said Sunset "they also take care of things like lightning and even rainbows"
"Rainbows?" Micro chips asked "ok magic certainly made no sense since rainbows are caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky" he fixed his glasses before turning to Sunset "yet you make it sound like they can come out of some sort of…rainbow factory" he finished.
For some reason Scootaloo felt a chill on her back.
"Actually yeah" said Sunset "anything weather related is usually dominion of the Pegasi"
"Hehe would be nice to have that power here" said Rainbow imagine what she could do if she could control the weather.
"I won't be thinking much about it miss Dash" said vice principal Luna "if you do the same as your counterpart I'm afraid to think what you will do" she eyed the screen "and I think princess Twilight would agree"
Everyone turned to see the now wet pony.
"well…one misstep can happen to anyone" said Rainbow "I'm sure my other self will be able to fix things on a minute"
"Oops. I—I guess I overdid it." Rainbow said to the annoyed Twilight. "Um…uh…how about this?"
"This" consisted on the pegasus swooping down to fly in a tight circle around Twilight, creating a striped whirlwind that sucked all the mud out of the puddle.
"My very own patented…Rainblow-Dry!" Rainbow announced raising high before dropping to ground "No, no, don't thank me. You're quite welcome."
"Ha! see? Easy-peasy" said Rainbow "no need to thank me"
"We won't since you didn't do anything" added Applejack with a smirk "that was her" she ended pointing to the screen making Rainbow pout.
"You know what I mean"
Only to get a good look at the finished product: Twilight's mane and tail were a frizzed-out mess with the unicorn clearly not amused; Rainbow, on the other hand, tried to not laugh for about 3 seconds before gave in and falling over between laughs with Spike following suit finding Twilight's new "style" quite hilarious.
And Rainbow followed her counterpart falling on the ground laughing her head off, alongside other students who couldn't help but chuckle or laugh at Twilight`s misfortune. Rarity would have calling them off but she (alongside some fashionistas) were busy fainting at the sight of the horrible hair.
"Yeah I don't think this is fixing things on a minute" added Sunset, although she had to hold chuckle…what? Even she can't deny that was quite funny.
"And my statement stands" said Luna with a sigh "those magical powers of them better not include weather control miss Shimmer or I swear I will put every single of you on detention if I see a snow day BEFORE winter" she threaten.
"Come one Luna don't be like that" said Celestia "I mean seriously, first of all they need to play music to access their powers, and secondly what chances are they can make a snow day out of season?"
The Vince principal just huffed…knowing their luck with magic, that will happen soon.
"Let me guess." Twilight began with a deadpan tone "You're Rainbow Dash".
the pegasus bolted upright, pitching Spike away.
"The one and only!" Rainbow boasted hovering "Why? You heard of me?"
"I heard you're supposed to be keeping the sky clear" the purple mare said sighing, before trying to speak with a professional tone " I'm Twilight Sparkle, and the Princess sent me to check on the weather."
" Yeah, yeah, that'll be a snap. I'll do it in a jiffy" Rainbow said as she lounged on a cloud "Just as soon as I'm done practicing"
"Yeah that's Rainbow Dash alright" said Applejack "always lazing up in work but put a ball in front of her and she will be running laps before you can say apple"
"Hey! I am not that bad" she turned to her other friends "right?"
"Weeeeeeeellllllll…"
"Sorry darling but…"
"It's not that ummm you are lazy...because you are not but…ummmm"
"You…tend to be unfocused quite often"
Rainbow deadpanned at them.
"Really feeling the love guys"
"Your last card report does agree with them" Luna called again.
" Practicing? For what?" asked twilight.
"The Wonderbolts!" Rainbow answered pointing to a poster pasted on a wall. On it was showed the silhouettes of four pegasi streaked across its starry sky, while three more standing proudly in the foreground. All three were wearing goggles and blue-green jumpsuits that left snouts, ears, and their electric blue manes exposed. Three lightning bolts were displayed at the bottom, the center one having a pair of wings.
"Wondercolts?" asked Curly Winds.
"Wait our team also exist in pony land?" asked Cloudy Kicks.
"No, she said Wondebolts" said Tennis Match. "with a B"
"So, they copy the team only change the ending?" wondered the blonde athlete.
"I don't think so, the Wonderbolts have existed from quite a time, plus they aren't a soccer team" explained Sunset.
"Wait they aren't?"
In that moment the poster is shown.
"Ok that doesn't look like a soccer team" said Rainbow "but they look AWESOME"
"They certainly do…they look like airplane pilots" said Heath Burns liking their looks.
"Close actually" said Sunset "the Wonderbolts are actually an elite group of Pegasus that are quite famous for their daring flying and tricks. They are quite considered the best flyers of all Equestria"
"Hahaha then my other self must be already be part of them cause she and I are awesome" said the rainbow haired girl feel with confidence (read ego).
"For the way your other self is talking I think she WANTS to be part of them" pointed AJ.
" They're gonna perform at the Celebration tomorrow." Continued Rainbow dash doing a loop to another cloud "And I'm gonna show 'em my stuff."
"The Wonderbolts?" asked Twilight smiling shrewdly.
" Yep."
" The most talented flyers in all of Equestria?"
"That's them."
"Pffft! Please" Twilight mocked making Rainbow glare at her "They'd never accept a pegasus who can't even keep the sky clear for one measly day."
"What did you said Twilight?!" asked angry Rainbow Dash "my pony self is the best flyer in all of that land and she certainly can clean that sky in less that you imagine. You will see, those wonder ponies will be begging my counterpart to be part of their group!"
The others just chuckled seeing her friend all riled up by Twilight`s comment, and they can bet the pony-Rainbow also won't take that one laying down.
" Hey. I could clear the sky in ten seconds flat." Rainbow betted.
" Prove it" Twilight challenged.
"YOU´RE ON PRINCESS" Rainbow called
The pegasus regarded her from beneath lowered eyebrows for another moment, then she sprang into action to kick apart one cloud after another. The wake of her movements blew Twilight's fluffed-up mane and tail back and forth as she and Spike watched.
" Loop-the-loop around, and wham!" After this last hit, the sky above Ponyville was left without a cloud in it. As a bonus it also revealed Ponyville's pavilion
" What'd I say?" rainbow asked as she dropped onto the bridge over the stream. "Ten seconds flat. I'd never leave Ponyville hanging."
The jaws of both watchers were hanging wide open at this acrobatic display.
"Yeah I know...I'm awesome" Rainbow boasted with pride.
Everyone around her couldn't help but nod at her comment (this time).
"Ok that really is speed" Heath Burns said amazed by the Pegasus`s fly "did she really made it in 10 seconds?"
"Yeap 10 seconds exactly" called Pinkie pie holding a chronometer in hands.
"But, but… the distance between clouds…and the area to cover...and the centripetal forces...and the air resistance…and, and…" some of the nerds were having a short circuit.
"See? Wonderbolt material no doubt" said Rainbow full of herself.
"Well at least I found a difference between you and your pony self" said Applejack "she also leaves things to the last moment and rush a work yet unlike you she DOES make it work"
This caused everyone to chuckled deflating the tomboy's ego.
"You couldn't let me have the moment, right?"
"hahaha. You should see the look on your face!" Rainbow laughed flying across "You're a laugh, Twilight Sparkle. I can't wait to hang out some more."
That last sentence kicked Twilight's brain back into gear throwing a shock into her, but Rainbow zipped away before she could say anything.
"Wow…she's amazing!" said Spike clearly impressed.
"Thank you Spike, at least SOMEONE gets it" the rainbow haired girl said crossing her arms. The others just rolled their eyes making her pout.
He toyed with Twilight's mane and smothers a guffaw making her gave him a disapproving look before groaning and walking away towards the pavilion.
" Wait! It's kinda pretty once you get used to it!" said the dragon trying to make her feel better.
"No Spike…just no" said Rarity with other fashionistas nodding in agreement.
"Oh, come on, it's not that bad" said Rainbow.
"Actually, it reminds me a bit of your hair Bon Bon" said Lyra after gazing for a moment Twilight's current style and her friend's hair.
"Wait, it's that a good thing or a bad thing?" said girl called back touching her own swirly hair.
Inside the building Spike checked the list again, whole behind and around him, banners and flowers have been hung on the walls.
" Decorations." The dragon announced.
Both looked around a single circular room observing past some elaborate hangings and plethora of adornments hanging from the ceiling and the balcony railings, filling the room with elaborate artworks.
" Beautiful" Spike said in awe.
"Agree with you there Spike" said Rarity in approval "whoever did that certainly know what it's doing"
"I also agree. We could use someone like that for the next dance" said Amethyst Star "do wonder if it would be someone of our school"
"Better be" said professor Cranky "I'm not up to pay someone external to come and do something our students should be able to do on their own"
"Even if it wasn't one I think our students have already proof they are capable" said Celestia remembering the fall formal. "but maybe some extra help won't be bad received if needed"
"Why? You just agreed with me" said the professor "the students need to be able to do things on their own"
"Yeah but…" Celestia started saying only to be interrupted by her sister.
"Can we leave this discussion for later when we are able to leave?" she said giving a look at her sister.
"No need I already said my part and that's all" the teacher said crossing his arms declaring the subject over.
"ufff sometimes he really can be stubborn as a mule" whispered Celestia at Luna.
" Yes. The décor is coming along nicely" the purple mare agreed "This oughta be quick. I'll be at the library in no time. Beautiful, indeed." She finished with a happy tone.
"Not the décor…her!" Spike pointed to the front.
Past the pair was a unicorn mare standing on a small dais at the back of the room. She had a white coat with a very faint gray tinge, long purple mane and tail done in loose elegant curls, her cutie mark was of three light blue diamonds. She also had pale blue eyeshadow, and her appearance and bearing marked her as a sophisticated type.
This was Rarity, who opened her eyes to expose a pair of vivid blue irises while levitating a few ribbon samples for a closer look.
"No…no…no…" Rarity judged the ribbons as Spike gazed on her with hearts in his eyes "…oh!…goodness, no…hmmm…"
"Hehehe well if that's not Rarity I don't know who that could be" laughed Applejack "I recognize that frou-frou tone anywhere"
"Huff it's not frou-frou as you call it Applejack" said Rarity a bit insulted "it's just proper speech for a lady"
"Either way those are quite impressive decorations" said Amethyst "although I don't remember seeing you during the planning of the last ball"
"Well…." Pinkie pie answered scratching the back of her neck "she and me were kinda at odds at the moment" Sunset flinched at that looking ashamed.
"Plus, the committee was looking for a more" she waved looking for the word "normal type of dance and my ideas where more…umm traditional"
"AKA probably wanted us to wear old puffy gowns" said Rainbow with clearly negativity at the idea.
"I still will have you wear one someday dear Rainbow" said/promised Rarity.
"Yeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhh…no" deadpanned the athlete.
"How are my spines? Are they straight?" Spike asked grooming himself; hearts floating up around him.
Twilight just gave him a funny look before approaching the dais.
A lot of people chuckled seeing the love-struck dragon.
"Hehehe someone's getting a crush" chuckled Applejack "let's hope spike isn't one of those dragons that kidnap maidens like in the fairytales"
"Why thank you Applejack" said Rarity flashing her eyelashes at the country girl "didn't knew you considered me a fair maiden"
Applejack just winked at her giving her a soft push making the fashionista giggle.
"Although must said my counterpart really look stylish" commented the fashionista "that fur and that hair, simply divine" she gazed deeply at the picture "even that mark of hers simply is so fitting" she smiled "the color of the diamonds really stand out well in her"
" Good afternoon" the purple mare greeted making the white unicorn glaze at her briefly
" Just a moment, please. I'm in the zone, as 'twere. Ah, yes!" she said happily tightening a glittering red bow on a post "Sparkle always does the trick, does it not? Why, Rarity, you are a talent. Now, um, how can I help you..."
She trailed off into a cry of horror upon getting her first good look at the poofed-up wreck of Twilight's mane and tail,
"Yeah that was my reaction exactly" said Rarity.
"Come on Rares is not that bad" said Rainbow not liking how a lot of the fashionistas were giving her a stinky eye.
"Not that bad?!" said Rarity "It a disaster! this can't be leave like that"
"Uh oh she is getting the look" said Applejack backing up a bit.
"Look? what look?" asked Flash.
"The one that end up with you inside a fitting room and force to try out dozens of proper outfits with no way out until she either calms down or end up spending your entire bugged on long dresses or sailor suits" the country girl ended with her brother and friends shuddering at the memories.
Everyone with a "questionable" fashion sense made a note to avoid Rarity for a time.
" Oh, my stars, darling! Whatever happened to your coiffure?" Rarity asked.
" Oh, you mean my mane? Well, it's a long story. I'm just here to check on the decorations, and then I'll be out of your hair." Twilight said not really caring about her mane.
" Out of my hair? What about your hair?" Rarity almost yelled and started to gently bulldoze Twilight along.
" Wait! Where are we going? Help!" the purple mare called out in fright.
"Sorry Twilight no one can help you when Rarity attacks" said Applejack.
Pinkie and Fluttershy made praying poses.
"Should have been quicker…like me" boasted Rainbow.
Rarity looked at her friend in betrayal.
"Come on guys can't be that bad" said Sunset making the others look at her like she was crazy "I mean...well can't really said anything because I haven't really received the end of those attacks"
"Well darling is not really like you need to change much" said Rarity looking at the girl "even for all that have happened your bad girl look really looks good on you"
Sunset looked down taking notes on her clothes…she never thought they gave her a "bad" look, they were kinda the ones she came out from the portal the first time and never gave them a second though. Plus, she liked the mix of red, orange and even her black jacket…but still.
"Bad girl look?" the orange haired girl wondered if maybe a change of clothes would be in need.
The lovestruck dragon floated after the pair, using the end of his tail as a propeller.
Next thing they all were on an ornately decorated two-story building that bared a striking resemblance to an antique carousel, including the horses attached to the small upper story's support posts and the one painted on a sign above the front door.
From the inside the building (named "Carousel Boutique") Rarity´s voice could be heard.
" No…no…uh-uh."
Inside a mirror was reflecting a rather put-out Twilight dressed as a four legged Statue of Liberty.
" Too green." Rarity judged
"That looks like a Halloween costume" said Rainbow dash in flat tone.
Change to her dressed like a proper Southern lady.
"Too yellow."
"I like that one" said Diamond tiara "she looks quite good in yellow"
"Ummm agree with you in the color but don't think that style fits her" said Rarity "actually I think it would fit you darling" she ended looking at Paisley who smile at the idea.
Now on a Spanish dancer's dress.
"Too poofy."
"That looks more Twilight`s style actually" Rose Heart said "the color does looks good on her"
"Umm you right...maybe just change the length of the skirt and the style of her hair would make it better" Scott Green added.
"Agree with you darlings" said Rarity making a mental note.
A 1950s teenager's look.
"Not poofy enough"
"NEIN…it's too simple for Sparkles to use" declared Photo Finish "need more spark need more magick"
"That almost look like an old country girl dress"
"Umm do reminds me of a dress my granddaughters used to have" said granny Smith "in fact I think I have a picture here somewhere"
"Granny put those pictures down!" yelled the Apple sisters.
An old French noblewoman's dress.
"Too frilly"
"Ok now I can see why you guys acted that way" said Micro chips with awe on his voice turning to Rarity "where and why did you counterpart get an old French dress like that one?"
"Better question do you have more?" asked Golden Hazel "The drama club could really use some clothes like those for our acts"
"I think have some spares I could give up" answered Rarity.
An aerobics instructor outfit.
"Too…shiny"
"uhhh I like that one" said Pinkie pie.
"Do looks perfect to do some exercise" added Rainbow.
The next one consisted of only a saddle, bedecked with small jewels and a necklace bearing a large emerald. The straps floated loose behind her; her mane was back to its normal straight style.
" Now go on, my dear." Said Rarity as she adjusted the straps "You were telling me where you're from?"
She grabbed the straps in her teeth and pulled. This shoot actually let the students admire part of the store's ground floor, with several mirrors, a changing room, and a low platform for customers to stand on. Twilight had risen to her hind legs, exposing a bracelet on a front hoof as part of the outfit.
"Oh my! that outfit do looks sparkling" said Rarity with a smile and eyes glimmering "Pinkie do you have a notebook around?"
"Right behind you" said Pinkie pulling a notebook from behind Rarity.
"Thanks darling" she said and began sketching "this will be the first outfit on my Equestrian line for sure"
The rest of the fashionistas in the room looked excited at the idea and approached the violet haired girl to get more info about her plans.
"Ehhh miss Rarity?" called Celestia "I know you are excited for this but could you wait until after we are done to try drawing that?"
"Oh? Oh! Yeah sure sorry" she said putting down the notebook "you right I will need more time to sketch down the details and not mention adapt it to a more human look, oh! and also try to find the correct jewelry to go with it ummm also will need a model to test it"
"Not it!" called Rainbow zooming away.
"I've…been…sent…from…Canterlot…to" Twilight gasped between words feeling herself been strangled. Fortunately for her, Rarity let go of the ribbons in surprise.
"I think that was too tight" said Sunset with a giggle.
" Huh?" They went flying in opposite directions; Rarity is the first to get up. "Canterlot?!" She rushed over "Oh, I am so envious! The glamour, the sophistication! I have always dreamed of living there! I can't wait to hear all about it" she said leaning close to Twilight who backed up "We're gonna be the best of friends, you and I."
"whoa! Don't take this the wrong way Rarity but you sounded like you wanted to be Twilight's friend out of convenience" said Applejack before turning to Sunset "does pony Canterlot really is that big of a deal?"
"Well yeah considering it's the capital of the kingdom" answered Sunset "it's also the place where princess Celestia and a lot of ponies that you could call, High society live"
"Wait…so Twilight is from a high society family?" asked Lyra "like a duchess or something like that?"
"Actually... I don't know" said Sunset also wondering the same "I know she was Celestia's student after i...ehem…leave so I'm pretty sure she lived in Canterlot"
Although the rainbow haired principal couldn't help but wondered about Twilight apparently been direct student of her counterpart, she noticed Sunset really struggled when mention her own apprenticeship under her…now that she thought about it, did Sunset ever said why she leave her Celestia's side?
Rarity's happy reverie broke when she took a good look at Twilight's new duds.
"Emerald?! What was I thinking? Let me get you some rubies!" she said before dashing off.
"Emeralds? Rubies?" asked Rarity with her eyes sparkling "as in real gems?!" Sunset nodded "...oh my, how rich my pony self could be to have that at hand?"
Sunset wondered if she should tell her about how easy was get gems on Equestria or if she should wait for later.
"Quick! Before she decides to dye my coat a new color!" Twilight cried galloping past Spike, who simply sighed contentedly.
"I hope not" exclaimed Rarity "your coat is such a beautiful lavender tone that it would be a crime dyeing it"
Riding through a meadow on Twilight's back (who no longer was wearing the fancy saddle), Spike continued gushing over Rarity.
"Wasn't she wonderful?" Spike said in dreaming tone.
"Focus, Casanova. What's next on the list?" asked Twilight making Spike check the list.
"Ehem, Oh…uh…music. It's the last one" he announced.
"Music? ok now we talking" Octavia said in delight "for a celebration of this type I wonder who could be involve" she wondered "after all royalty its attending so the music must be of high quality"
Vinyl mock shoved her friend.
"Come on Octi don't be like that" the DJ said "it's an all-night party. It needs something wild and moving"
"Again Vinyl...Nobility its attending, protocols must be followed and I don't think a princess would enjoy something like Techno"
"only because no royalty has head mine!" boasted Vinyl.
Twilight stopped short upon hearing a fanfare being whistled somewhere up ahead; she and Spike hided in some bushes and poke their heads out to watch. The source of the sound? several birds perched in a tree, with a light yellow pegasus with long, straight pink mane and tail with a cutie mark of three pink butterflies hovering in front of them.
"Uhhhh who's that pony?!" asked Pinkie in delight sending a smile at Fluttershy.
"Hehehe well you were the last to appear sugar cube" said Applejack.
"Wait what do you mean she is last? I haven't appeared yet" said Pinkie pie getting a disbelief look from EVERYONE. "what?"
"Seriously Pinkie pie?"
One of the birds is noticeably out of time, drawing the pony's worried attention. A close up presents Fluttershy for the first time to the audience showing a mare, with blue-green eyes.
"Oh, my. Um, stop, please, everyone" Fluttershy asked (revealing a soft, gentle and timid voice) making the birds go quiet. Then she flew up to the bad singer. "Um, excuse me, sir. I mean no offense, but your rhythm is just a teeny tiny bit off" she backed up. "Now, follow me, please. A-one, a-two, a-one, two, three."
" Hello!"
Twilight's shout not only startled the conductor, but scared her entire vocal ensemble out of the tree.
"Oh!" Fluttershy noticed Twilight now out of the bushes.
" Oh, my. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to frighten your birds. I'm just here to check up on the music, and it's sounding beautiful" the Unicorn apologized.
Fluttershy touched down, looking at Twilight sidelong or not at all, and fidgets one hoof against the ground without saying anything.
If Spike got a reaction out of every girl in the cafeteria, now with Fluttershy there wasn't a girl or boy that didn't tried to get closer to the screen to see the shy pony, much to the embarrassed of the pink haired human girl (who also was debating if cooing after herself in pony form was narcissist and wrong to do).
"Oh my gosh!"
"She is so cute!"
"She is so precious"!
"Ahhh just look at her!"
"I want to snuggled her and pet her all day!" Bull biceps exclaim almost crying.
"Who's a cute pony? yes, she is… yes, she is"
More and more comments made Fluttershy's face become redder as even her friends joined the crowd.
"Oh my! Fluttershy look at that fur and that hair" said Rarity "you look really cute and huggable"
"I know!" yelled Pinkie pie "she looks like a living plushy one wants to hug all day and all night long and never let go!"
"Hehehe I know you could be a cinnamon roll but damn you really could give cavities to someone only by seeing you" added Applejack with a chuckle.
"Ehh I suppose she looks…nice" said rainbow trying to act as if she wasn't blushing.
The newcomer stitched a big grin across her face and let her eyes flick nervously back and forth for a moment before breaking the silence.
"I'm Twilight Sparkle." Silence; Fluttershy still avoided eye contact "What's your name?"
" Um, I'm Fluttershy" the Pegasus answered in a soft quiet tone.
" I'm sorry, what was that?" Twilight asked not hearing well the answer.
"Um, my name is Fluttershy" the Pegasus said even softer and backing away.
"Didn't quite catch that"
The meek Pegasus can do no more than voice a tiny squeak and look at Twilight sidelong, as if trying to disappear behind the hoof-length curtain of her mane as the birds returned to the tree.
Cue more coos from the audience…and Sunset could swear she heard someone having a heart attack and fainting.
"whoa" said Flutteshy suddenly "deja vu"
"Well, um, it looks like your birds are back" Twilight noticed "So I guess everything's in order. Keep up the good work."
Another tiny little noise from Fluttershy was the only answer.
"Oo-kay" said Twilight backing off slowly.
"wait...that's the music?!" exclaimed Octavia in disbelief "those birds are the music?!"
"well…they do sound good and…"
"A BUNCH OF ANIMALS ARE GOING TO DO ALL THE MUSIC FOR A PRINCESS?!"
"EXCUSE ME! And what's the problem with that?" asked Fluttershy looking at the musician in anger not liking her tone "because for what I can see they are really good on what they doing and seems to be practicing really hard" she teen said getting close to Octavia with an angry look in her eyes that made other students to move out of her way. "or are you saying that because they are animals they CAN'T perform before a princess?" by now the pink haired girl was face to face against the musician who could only gulp watching inside the angry eyes of the usually shy girl.
"I...well…ummmm…" the musician gulped at the look on the pink haired girl. A cold feeling closed on her hearth making her whole-body tremble fearing for her existence.
"Ehh miss Fluttershy?" called principal Celestia, also feeling quite nervous at seeing that look on the usually shy girl "I'm sure miss Melody didn't meant anything bad. Just surprised about the choices on music for such a celebration but I'm sure she didn't mean bad"
"Y-yeah Fluttershy I'm sure Octi was going to add how surprised she was..and then understand that they do sounded quite good on her book" said Vinyl looking at her friend with a pleading face "right Octi?"
"Umm yes…yes its correct" said Octavia "I mean I'm just surprised that's all, and they do have a nice tone on them so I can see them…totally see how they were the best option for this"
Fluttershy looked at her for a moment.
"Fine!...but don't you dare said anything bad about those pretty birds" she added huffing and returning to her place.
No one said anything or made any movement until the girl returned to her seat.
"That…was scary" said Scootaloo to her friends.
"Agree" said Sweetie Belle.
"Yeap" added Apple Bloom.
Fluttershy just stood there, eyes downcast with one of them hidden behind her mane. She finally peeked toward Twilight only to notice Spike emerging from the bushes.
"Well, that was easy" Twilight said to him.
Fluttershy suddenly sprang to life with a gasp and a flutter of wings, that scared all the birds off again.
" A baby dragon!" the Pegasus zipped over to Spike, knocking Twilight away "Oh, I've never seen a baby dragon before! He's so cute!"
"Hehehe I was wondering when you would go bananas over a cute animal flutters" said Rainbow Dash but didn't get a respond "Fluttershy?"
Her pink haired friend shook her head in confusion.
"ok that's the second time I feel a deja voo" said Fluttershy wondering why she felt like she has seen this before.
Spike looked to the sprawled-out Twilight in the ground.
"Well, well, well!" he said in smug tone loving the attention
" Oh, my. He talks. I didn't know dragons could talk. That's just so incredibly wonderful, I…" Fluttershy said excited hovering over the ground "…I just don't even know what to say!
"So, dragons can talk or Spike is special?" asked Flash.
"Actually they all can talk, buuuuutttt they tend to live quite away from pony settlements so I suppose it would be really weird to talk to one" she said as she remembered some of her lessons with princess Celestia "actually, if memory doesn't fail me, think the majority of them prefer to stay on the dragonlands away from the rest of Equestria"
"Umm then wonder how little Spike ended up with Twilight" the rocker asked.
"Same, as I said before maybe Celestia give him to her" answered the red head.
Spike suddenly found himself grabbed by Twilight's magic and hoisted onto her back.
"Well, in that case, we better be going" the purple unicorn tried to walk away but Fluttershy hurried after her.
" Wait! Wait! What's his name?" the pegasus asked
" I'm Spike."
"Hi, Spike. I'm Fluttershy. Wow, a talking dragon! And what do dragons talk about?"
"Well, what do you want to know?" the dragon asked in delight.
" Absolutely everything" she answered making an already tired Twilight groan.
"Hahaha that's so you Flutteshy" giggled rainbow making her friend blush "I can bet that if you could speak to animals you would act just like her"
"Hehehe true there partner" added Applejack "at least we can imagine how she would act if she visit pony land" she winked at Fluttershy who tried to hide behind her hair.
"Well, I started out as a cute little purple-and-green egg..." Spike began talking much to Twilight´s annoyance.
much later, while the sun was starting to set, the trio was walking through Ponyville,, and Spike was still talking to Fluttershy while Twilight glared impatiently ahead.
"… And that's the story of my whole entire life...well, up until today"
"Ahh wonder if someday we will know all the story" said Pinkie pie.
"Why someday? It's not like they won't tell us here or we couldn't ask twilight" said Applejack.
"Probably because some lazy writers will forget all about it leaving it only for fan theories that the author of THIS story won't touch out of his own lack of knowledge about that particular subject" answered the pink haired girl gaining weird looks on her again.
"Do you want to hear about today?" the dragon asked at the end.
"Oh, yes, please!" Fluttershy said excited.
This made Twilight do a quick 180-degree turn to face Fluttershy, prompting a yell from the passenger.
"I am so sorry. How did we get here so fast? This is where I'm staying while in Ponyville, and my poor baby dragon needs his sleep" said Twilight as she pointed they had arrived at a large, gnarled tree whose trunk and foliage were set with many windows, one of which had a hanging lantern. A balcony was visible halfway up, the front door displayed a picture of a lit candle, and a sign outside depicted an open book. In addition, a beehive hanged from one branch.
"That's where she will be standing?" asked Rarity "but...that's a tree! Why is she staying on a tree instead of a 5-star hotel payed by the princess?"
"Well…maybe cause that must be the library she was talking about early" said Sunset.
"Oh well...i didn't thought she was serious going to sleep on one" the fashionista answered.
"wait so the library is tree shaped or its actually a tree?" asked Apple Bloom.
"I think the tree is the library" said Sweetie Belle.
"How one can build something INSIDE a tree?" wondered Scootaloo
"Personally, I like the idea" said Sandalwood "really in connection with nature"
"Agree there" said Fluttershy "I have always wanted to sleep on a tree but…umm you know…ummm I get scare of highs" she ended up blushing.
"Do wonder if could do something like that on one of our trees" the younger apple asked.
"You already have a tree house sugar cube" said Applejack "please don't get any ideas"
"No, I don't!" Spike protested only to be bucked off Twilight's back, who put a big phony grin on her face.
"Aw, wookit that" Twilight said leaning to him and doing a baby talk "He's so sweepy, he can't even keep his wittle bawance"
The "sweepy" dragon glared at her stupidly grinning face before being swept up by Fluttershy.
"Poor thing. You simply must get him to bed" Fluttershy said opening the door and flying inside.
"Fluttershy darling is really of bad manners entering the home of others without permission" said Rarity to her friend "more if its someone you just met"
"Umm sorry…I will try to not do that" answered the shy girl.
"Well it's not really her her, but pony her although she and her do are almost the same only she is a pony and she is a human but they have almost the same looks and are basically the same person or same pony so anything she does the you could do it so at the end we forgive you for the actions of the other you that you didn't do but could do since she is you but not you"
Everyone blinked after Pinkie pie finished her monologue.
"Ummm i…thank… you?" tempted Fluttershy.
"For what? I haven't do anything" said Pinkie pie.
"Oh, ummm then sorry?"
"But you haven't done anything either"
"oh…ummm I…." Rainbow's hand covered Fluttershy's mouth.
"let's just continue"
Realizing that things were getting out of hoof, Twilight dashed in and quickly ejected the Pegasus out.
" Yes, yes. We'll get right on that. Well, good night!" the unicorn slammed the door, leaving a very befuddled Fluttershy on the step.
Cut to a pitch black interior, Twilight and Spike dimly visible; both pairs of eyes gleam in the darkness.
" Huh. Rude much?" the dragon scowled, put out at having the conversation broken off so abruptly.
" Sorry, Spike, but I have to convince the Princess that Nightmare Moon is coming, and we're running out of time" said Twilight " I just need to be alone so I can study without a bunch of crazy ponies trying to make friends all the time" she sentenced really tired of today's events.
"You know...ummm its kinda weird looking at Twilight acting like this" said Fluttershy
"Yeah I know" said Pinkie pie "she is like a really grumpy pants and the girl that we know was super friendly and loved to party" she gained an exasperate look "who doesn't like parties!?
"And she is still on that Nightmare thing" Flash said "ummm she really believes that something do will happen. I wonder if she might not be onto something?"
"Hehehe not losing time to defend her right?" asked Sunset making him blush "but do find weird someone would think that old story could become true"
"Uhh maybe it's like one of those shows where a character mentions an event a lot and at then it really happens at the end of the season for one amazing battle" said Pinkie pie.
"Pinkie pie we are watching the real life of someone not an anime" said Rainbow "and even when I would like to see that and this is about our friend, the magical pony princess from another dimension, I think that an evil 1000 pony descending from the moon it's a bit farfetched"
"But what if it's true?" said Lyra "I mean they are MAGICAL UNICORNS…maybe it's just magic"
"Yeah but I think if that was true then princess Celestia probably would have a plan or something knowing her evil sister was returning" said Sunset.
"Well if the princess is anything like my sister then maybe we should be careful, one doesn't know when she will get a lazy bones and ditch work to lay down and eat a slice of cake" said vice principal Luna gaining some chuckles from the students, and an irritable look from her sister.
"Ok one, when I have done that and two, I don't think the students need to know about our private life miss all-night-gamer" answered back the principal.
"Now where's the light?"
Her question was answered when the lights suddenly came on revealing a large circular room (whose walls were lined with bookshelves), filled with ponies (many of whom blew on noisemakers in their mouths) and streamers hanged from the upper reaches.
" SURPRISE!"
Confetti rained down over the group, and a party favor was blown out in front of the thoroughly confused and grumpy looking violet unicorn who moaned wearily.
"Yeah I don't think you are having much options there Twilight" Sunset said fining quite funny the predicament of the purple unicorn.
