Season 2: Timothy Saga
Episode 10 (25): Knowledge is Beautiful (Twilight Sparkle x Edward)
It was night around Twilight's house, she was having some of her friends over for a sleepover. Inside her house, James, Percy, Toby, Pinkie Pie, Rarity were invited over to Twilight's, but she's missing two more people to join.
Twilight Sparkle: I don't know what's taking Sunset and Thomas this long, they should've been here by now.
Edward: I'm sure those two will be here, they're probably busy doing other stuff. Knowing Thomas and Sunset, they'll always help out whenever they see it.
Twilight Sparkle: I know; it's just I want this to be a perfect sleepover.
Edward: And it will be, don't worry Twilight, it'll all be okay.
Twilight Sparkle: (Blushes) Thanks Edward.
Edward: If there is anything else you need help with, just let me know.
As Edward left, Twilight was thinking of something in her head.
Twilight Sparkle: (Thoughts) Oh man, how can I tell Edward I love him so much, I mean, I've tried before but that didn't work. But I got to at least try and I will think of a way to impress Edward, somehow.
Then, they heard the door knocking and Edward came to answer it. When he opened it, it was Thomas and Sunset.
Edward: Hello you two, what took you guys so long?
Sunset Shimmer: Sorry that we've taken so long to get here, but the two of us deserve a day to ourselves. We'll tell you the details when we're situated.
Edward: Okay then, well come on in, I'm sure Twilight will be most excited to see you.
Sunset Shimmer: I'm sure she is. Come on Thomas.
Thomas: Right behind you.
Edward: (Thoughts) Hmm, I'm pretty sure I know what's going on with those two, but I'll let them say it first. (Chuckles) Well done my friend, well done.
So while everyone was asleep, Thomas and Sunset were getting themselves ready for bed, when Twilight came to their guest room.
Twilight Sparkle: Hello you two.
Sunset Shimmer: Hey Twilight, what's up?
Twilight Sparkle: Not to be too intrusive, but what were you guys doing before you came over here.
Sunset Shimmer: Should I tell her Thomas?
Thomas: I think you should Sunset.
Twilight Sparkle: Tell me what?
Sunset Shimmer: Well, me and Thomas went on a romantic date, just the two of us, and as we were looking over the beach gazing into the night sky, Thomas asked me to be his girlfriend, and I said yes! (Squeals) I love this guy so much. (Kissing his cheek)
Twilight Sparkle: Oh wow, congratulations Sunset, I'm really happy for you.
Sunset Shimmer: Thanks Twilight.
Twilight Sparkle: (Yawns) I should probably get some sleep.
Sunset Shimmer: Yeah, you're right. We'll see you in the morning.
As Twilight went to her room to sleep, Sunset and Thomas climbed into the guest bed and pulled the covers over themselves. Sunset then kissed him on the lips.
Sunset Shimmer: That night on the beach was the most magical moment of my entire life, and I can't thank you enough for making this happen Thomas.
Thomas: Hey, is what friends do, especially helping out my girlfriend right in front of my eyes.
Sunset Shimmer: (Giggles) Aww Thomas, you're such a sweetheart. And that's what I love about you, you care about others especially me.
Thomas: That's right, and no matter what, I'll always be by my friends' side and your side. And I won't rest until I get the job done, I love you Sunset with all my heart.
Sunset Shimmer: I love you too Thomas.
The two of them kissed for a while before they drift off to sleep. During the night, everyone was fast asleep while Twilight was thinking on how she'll impress Edward in her sleep. It was morning, and everyone was doing their own things: Rainbow, Toby and James were playing a game, Edward was organizing some of Twilight's books, Percy and Pinkie were baking cookies and Rarity was painting Sunset's nails with Thomas right next to her.
Rarity: There you are darling, aren't they splendid.
Sunset Shimmer: They really are, thanks Rarity.
Rarity: No problem dear.
Percy: I must say Rarity; you really know how to paint nails like a true fashionista.
Rarity: Thank you Percy, you're a sweetheart.
James: Hey, don't try stealing her away from me Percy.
Percy: I'm not trying to; I'm only giving her a compliment.
James: Yeah sure.
Thomas: What is it with James, did you do something to get James on his bad side?
Percy: I didn't even do anything to him, don't know why he's acting like that.
Edward: Just ignore him Percy, he's probably in his moods again.
Percy: Yeah, I can totally see that.
Twilight Sparkle: Hey everyone, how's everything.
Percy: Well, minus James' usual mood swing, everything's going just peachy.
Edward: What's up Twilight?
Twilight Sparkle: I want to show you something, I know it's pretty basic, but I hope you like it.
She showed Edward a necklace with some of the things that the two like, smarts, knowledge and books.
Edward: Oh wow Twilight, that's beautiful, you made this.
Twilight Sparkle: (Blushes) Uhh, yeah I did. You like it?
Edward: I do actually, I might wear this the next time.
Twilight Sparkle: Edward, I-
Rarity: Edward, darling, we have a bit of a situation over here!
Edward: Oh brother, I better go see what's going on.
He walked in to see Rainbow Dash and James arguing over the fact that Rainbow had screwed James over multiple times in a race.
James: This is clearly your fault Rainbow Dash; you keep sabotaging my chances of winning the previous races!
Rainbow Dash: My fault?! It was your carelessness that screwed you over multiple times during those races! I only played it fair!
James: Fair?! More like cheated to win!
Edward: Alright everyone, break it up, let's try to resolve this like normal people.
James: How are we supposed to settle this like normal people Edward?
Edward: First of all, James, let's take a breather, go your separate ways and come back when you're ready to talk.
Rainbow Dash: Fine.
James: Good, at least it will get my mind off of this.
When the two of them went their separate ways, some were a little bit concerned for not just Rainbow Dash, but for James.
Thomas: Something tells me with James' attitude going on, is going to be one rough day.
Sunset Shimmer: Tell me about it. But let's not worry about that for right now, let's figure out something fun to do.
Toby: You can join in on our game, while those two cool down.
Thomas: Sure, why not. You game, Sunset?
Sunset Shimmer: I'm always game.
So the two of them walk over to where Toby is and start playing the race game, it was Forza Horizon 4, so the two of them customized their own cars and participated in the races. Meanwhile, Rainbow and James were in a kitchen with Edward right next to them.
Edward: So, have you two finally calmed down?
Rainbow Dash & James: Yeah. Yeah.
Edward: So, I know you guys are made to be competitive, but Rainbow, you're more competitive with Gordon, but I'll let that slide. So, it doesn't make any sense that you two will start fighting while playing games.
James: Well, sorry Edward, that's just who I am.
Edward: I understand that James, but you can't let competitiveness get in your head like that, you got to play fair with others, do you understand James.
James: (Sighs) Yeah, I understand.
Edward: Rainbow Dash, can you try to dial your winning streak just a tad, so that everyone will play equally.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah, I guess I took it a bit too far.
Edward: Good, now can we try to make this easier for you guys.
Rainbow Dash & James: Sure. Sure.
Edward: Okay then, let's get back to the game shall we?
So the two of them walked over back to the game and everything was going fine, until Twilight came up to Edward.
Twilight Sparkle: Hey Edward, can you come with me for a minute.
Edward: Sure, what is it?
Twilight Sparkle: Umm, there's something I want to show you.
Edward: Lead the way.
Twilight blushed and leads Edward to her room. When she opens the door, he was amazed when he saw Twilight's science room. All of her lab equipment and handy gadgets.
Edward: Wow, I'm actually impressed. You must be one of the smartest girls out of the whole group.
Twilight Sparkle: (Giggles, blushes) Thanks, I get that a lot from some of my friends.
Edward: For all of this, you should be rewarded for your hard work.
Twilight Sparkle: (Blushes) Thanks Edward, hey there's something I want….
James: Percy, get out of my way, you're blocking the road!
Percy: Well sorry James, I can't do anything about it since this path you picked was so narrow, you basically pushed me in.
James: I didn't push you, you were blocking my path to get to the others.
Percy: Oh shut up James.
Edward: Oh brother, those two are going at it again, I'm sorry Twilight, what were you saying.
Twilight Sparkle: Uh, I'll tell you later.
Edward: Okay, I got to deal with those two, catch ya later Twilight.
Twilight Sparkle: (Thoughts) Man, I don't know what it is but me and Edward sort of click, I guess we are a match made in heaven. But every time his friends argue, he has to go take care of it. I'll keep trying and I will tell Edward how I feel about him.
When Twilight came down, she sees Percy on James' back trying to choke him out. They were having a squabble since Percy blocked James' way, and that's what caused the two to start fighting. And when the fighting reached its breaking point, everyone went after the two.
Edward: Alright you two, break it up. Break it up!
Percy: (Grunts) Well, tell him first!
James: (Grunts) Tell this little runt to get off of me, right now!
Sunset Shimmer: Both of you are making this whole situation ridiculous, so break it up before Thomas gets here, too late.
Thomas saw this and he was not happy.
Thomas: That's enough!
His yelling was enough to make everyone stop what they're doing.
Thomas: The two of you caused confusion and delay for our sleepover. James, you were the one that's most at fault and Percy, I don't want you following in James' path, but you clearly are. If Sir Topham Hatt were here, he would've said "I am most disappointed in you two, you clearly aren't showing what is truly the meaning of being really useful. That will simply not do." I'm extremely disappointed in you two.
Everyone was still silent by Thomas, speaking to two of his friends in that tone, still upset, Thomas went to the door.
Thomas: I'm going outside for a breather, and I would expect to have an apology from the two of you, when you realized your mistake.
He slammed the door which everyone closed their eyes when they hear it. With Thomas gone, Percy released James and looked away shamefully, the same with James. Rarity, Toby, Edward, Twilight and Sunset looked at the two with crossed arms and glaring eyes.
Rarity: Ugh honestly darling, I thought you would've learned of this by now.
James: I have, but it's clearly….
Sunset Shimmer: No James, this is clearly your doing and look at what's caused it.
Edward: And for once James, I thought you would've agreed to stick to what I said to you, when you had your fight with Rainbow Dash.
James: Edward, for once in your life, I don't need you mentoring me to see the error of my ways. You've gone old, and your teachings don't affect me.
Rarity: James! How dare you.
James: (Stammers) Edward, I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean….
Edward: Save it, it seems as though my teachings to you mean nothing, I'm sure you young engines know what you're doing.
James: But Edward….
Edward: Not another word.
Edward left the living room and went upstairs, leaving the others to look at the two.
Percy: Umm, if it's alright with you, I'm just gonna go over to the kitchen to see if Pinkie needs any help, while hothead here cools off from his temper.
James: Hothead! While let me tell you….
Suddenly, James got a hard slap on the face.
James: Ow. What was that for?
Sunset Shimmer: Save it James, you deserve that and more for what you did to Thomas way back.
James: Ugh, do you have to keep reminding me of that.
Toby: Not only did James cross the line, but so did you Percy.
Percy: What did I, oh, never mind.
Rainbow Dash: I know I'm not a brainiac like Twilight or Edward is, but you two really did this time. And take it from me, you guys need some major fixing up to do right here. I'll just leave you guys to it.
Rainbow Dash left to take a nap on the couch, leaving only Percy and James stuck with major fault. While they're watching the two, Sunset left to check on Thomas, she sees him looking down on the ground while sitting on an outside bench, feeling sad for him she went to where Thomas is and sat with him.
Thomas: Hey Sunset.
Sunset Shimmer: Hey Thomas, is everything okay?
Thomas: No, everything is not okay, I thought this sleepover will be fun and excited, but all it is was to have James going at the other's throats, and what's worse, he almost had Percy involved with this. How can I be okay when those two just can't get along with each other? (Sighs)
Sunset Shimmer: Hey Thomas, I know what it's like to have two of my friends not get along, Rarity and Applejack have loads of differences with each other and that led to some heated arguments between the two of them. But they each saw what they're both capable of and they're able to reconcile in the end. So you see, your friends will eventually see the errors in their ways and they'll apologize, I just know it.
Thomas: You-you really think so?
Sunset Shimmer: I know so. (Kissed him) Besides, they just need to learn from their mistakes, then and only then, will all of us have the best sleepover in all of Equestria.
Percy: Umm Thomas.
Thomas: Oh, hey Percy. You okay?
Percy: Yeah, I've been thinking about what happened inside. And I just want to say how extremely stupid that was for me acting the way I did inside.
Thomas: Well, I can't stay mad at you, you're my best friend and I will never blame my best friend.
Percy: Thanks Thomas.
Sunset Shimmer: Aww, you're just like a little brother I never had.
Percy: (Chuckles, blushes) Funny Sunset.
Thomas: How's it going with James.
Percy: Well, let's just say he gets the slap he deserved, since I saw a red mark on the side of his face.
Sunset Shimmer: That might've been me.
Percy: Huh, who knew you had a strong arm.
Sunset Shimmer: Done a lot of fights in the past, and that was after I reformed.
Percy: And at the same time, Rarity isn't planning on breaking up with him, but she's not speaking to him and James isn't talking like he usually is.
Thomas: Probably feels bad for what he did.
Percy: Yeah, and to make matters worse, James is feeling depressed since he lost his friendship with Edward.
Sunset Shimmer: Oh, that's bad.
Thomas: Yeah, I guess we should check on him. Come on, let's get going.
So the three walked to the entrance, and all of a sudden, Pinkie answered the door.
Pinkie Pie: Welcome back you three, though I try to cheer up your number five, but it seems as though he's got the fun sucked out of him in a vacuum.
Thomas: Is that bad huh?
Pinkie Pie: Yep. Go see for yourself
They looked to see James laying on the couch looking up at the ceiling, even Twilight tried some way to make him feel better.
Twilight Sparkle: I tried everything to make him feel better, but it's not working.
Thomas: Hmm, maybe he'll listen to me. (Clears throat) Umm, hey James, how are you feeling?
James: (Groans)
Thomas: Umm, look, I'm sorry that I yelled at you from you fight with Percy. It's just the reason I came to see how you're doing. And from what it looks like, are you feeling any better or not really.
James: Not feeling any better, that's my final answer. Just go away, I've already caused enough trouble already.
Thomas: Hmm, I think I know a way to help you. Percy, get you-know-who?
Percy: Gotcha.
James: Whatever it is, it won't help my situation.
Rarity: I'm sure there's something to help you Jamesy, I hate to see your sad face, and it really pains me to see you like this.
James: I know it hurts to see this my sweet, I just can't bring myself to talk about it now.
Edward: Perhaps I can shed some light on the situation.
James: Edward?
Edward: Hey James, Thomas asked me to help you James from your downward spiral.
James: Good luck with that Edward.
Edward: Well, all I'm trying to say is I'm sorry for trying to force you to apologize to Percy, it was wrong for me to do this to you.
James: But why, why are you telling me this?
Edward: I just want to tell you that I am sorry James, like really sorry for acting like some head honcho of the team, no offense Thomas.
Thomas: None taken.
Edward: But I still want to say that I will always be your friend, no matter what trouble we're in.
James: Edward I, I don't know what to say. After everything I've said to you, how can you ever forgive me?
Twilight Sparkle: I bet your friends can teach you what you've lost James, like someone did for me. At least I didn't turn into Midnight Sparkle that time, courtesy of that stupid magic locket that's been kept locked away in a safe where no can get it.
Sunset Shimmer: Twilight is right James, no matter what wrong you did, your friends will always forgive you.
Edward: So will you forgive me for disowning our friendship James?
James: Of course I'll forgive you Edward, and at the same time my actions to both you and Percy, can you forgive me for what I said to you buddy.
Percy: Sure thing buddy of mine.
James: (Sniffles) Thanks Percy.
Percy: Are you crying James?
James: Don't say anything.
Percy: Alright, I trust you. (Snickers)
Twilight Sparkle: Well then, now that's all taken care of, shall we continue with our sleepover.
Everyone cheered for that their sleepover is finally back in session, around movie night, Twilight and Edward were sitting in her room looking at some of the gadgets Twilight made.
Edward: I must say Twilight; they seem really impressive indeed.
Twilight Sparkle: (Blushes) Thanks Edward, I'm glad you liked them. Though there is one thing I've been wanting to tell you for the longest time.
Edward: And what's that?
Without warning, Twilight gave Edward a kiss on the cheek and that left him awestruck.
Twilight Sparkle: I've been to tell you that for the longest time, and I just don't know how you'll react and I'm worried that it might….
Then, Edward wrapped his arm around Twilight, which made her blush again.
Edward: I can't be happier than I'm already am Twilight, and as an added bonus, I like you as well.
Twilight Sparkle: Aww, that's so sweet Edward, well I like you too.
The two of them hugged it out for the remainder of the day. Around night, everyone was asleep, Percy, Pinkie and Toby are in one guest room, Rarity and James are in another, Sunset and Thomas are on the couch and Twilight and Edward are in her bedroom. Suddenly, while they're still asleep, a ghostly whistle was heard and out popped the ghost train of Sodor, Timothy.
Timothy: Well now, what have we here, some of the Mane 7 and Steam Team having a sleepover at Twilight's house. Pathetic! Well, that's good news for me, since I'm a rampaging demon ghost who wants nothing more than to possess his little brother. Uhh, honestly, but there's also something else that they've talked about that really peaked my interest: Midnight Sparkle. Hmm, interesting, though I haven't met her, I assume she's all types of powerful, so naturally, this gives me an opportunity. When the time is right, I'll get that locket up and running again with power, then it'll be my time to shine. (Laughs) But first, time to meet this Midnight Sparkle, time for a little night time theft. (Chuckles)
His ghost form phased through the window and he's now in her room.
Timothy: Now she did mention of a safe around her place, now where would she, there. Now then, I'll just phased right through here and yes, got it, now to (Grunts). Oh ha-ha very funny not, they think they expect me to figure out a complex lock code. Hmph, many people think I'm the smart aleck around here, but I ain't stupid. Now then, time for me to find out more about this Midnight Sparkle.
So he phased away to a secluded section of dark forest, where he transforms into his human form. He then activated a button, where it projected a hologram of Midnight Sparkle.
Midnight Sparkle: (Laughs evilly) What?! I'm not free, who dares to broadcast this message to the great and powerful Midnight Sparkle!
Timothy: I did my dear.
Midnight Sparkle: Who are you?
Timothy: My name is Timothy, but you may also call me, Timothy, the ghost train of Sodor!
Midnight Sparkle: Never met you, what are you supposed to be, some kind of grim reaper?
Timothy: Oh please, there will be more of me in due time, but right now, I need a favor from you.
Midnight Sparkle: What are you offering?
Timothy: I need power, the power I currently have is not enough and I need to a vessel to help double my power, but from what I'm sensing, this here locket may just have the power boost I need to return to full glory.
Midnight Sparkle: And you're expecting me to help give you this power boost, and for what?
Timothy: Not necessarily, we can form a partnership where we can everything we ever wanted. I've heard you wanted magic from all the different realms, while I just want to get rid of those who oppose me and stand in my way!
Midnight Sparkle: That seems like a tall order, but very well, I will help you get the power you need, as long as you help me get out of here.
Timothy: Very well, you got yourself a deal. I'll put the locket back where it came from, and you working on the manipulating part.
Midnight Sparkle: That's just my specialty. Manipulating my alter ego is always a blast.
Timothy: Perfect, soon everything will fall into place, and once that's done, there will be no one stopping the two of us from conquering all the realms!
Timothy & Midnight Sparkle: (Laughs evilly)
