Ch. 15: Sunset Crashes the Formal

It was the night of the Fall Formal and the girls stepped out of a limo and spike went to pay the driver, who was an odd-looking elder.

"Well you ain't boys," said the driver (Herbert) to the girls, "But (bleep!), what does it matter?"

Just then, Flash came up to Twilight.

"Hey, Twilight. Not to sound indignant, but running out on a guy like that when he asks you out seems kind of rude."

Twilight blushed, 'Well, you see, um...I did run out, but it had nothign to do with your question. It was another matter."

"Oh," said Flash, "What was it about then?"

Twilight bit her lip in nervousness, "It doesn't matter. So, do you still wanna dance?"

Flash just shrugged and gave a 'meh' noise as he and Twilight walked into the school.

Everybody was dancing and doing various known dances, like the Macarina, the Cha-Cha, etc.

However, while nobody was looking, a familiar duo slipped in.

"Remember what Sunset said, Snails," said Snips.

"Ok, Snips." said Snails as they continued tiptoeing through the crowd.

While that was ahppening, Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna entered the stage.4

"Welcome, shortstuffs. I'd like to thank you all for fixing the gym up for the Fall Formal and for casting your votes for the Fall Formal Princess."

Luna hands Celestia a card showing who the winner was. Celestia takes it and opens it up.

"And the winner is...Elkraps Thgiliwt"

The crowd looked confused at as Celestia looks at the card again.

"Oh, sorry! I was reading this backwards." He corrects the card to the proper form and says, "It's Twilight Sparkle."

Everybody in the gymnaseum claps as a shocked Twilight goes up t the stage. Uplifting music plays while Twilight is given the crown while 2 teenagers, a black-haired boy and a blonde-haired girl, that are below the stage appear to be holding a rope.

"Now Chris?" said the boy.

"No, Billy!" said the girl, "We wait until she completely leasts expects it."

Suddenly, a shout is heard.

"Twilight! Help!"

Twilight saw Spike being taken by Snips and Snails. She suddenly left the gym, followed by her friends and the group soon chase the scheming duo across various doors, Scooby-Doo style.

Speaking of which, the aforementioned dog and his friends were shown in the chase before Scooby stopped and said, "Rait. Re already rid this in an repisode of Family Guy refore." With that, he left to rejoin his friends.

Twilight and her friends eventually chase Snips and Snails outside where they see Susnet SHimmer with a sledgehammer next to the statue/portal to Equestria with her minions restraining Spike nearby.

"Stop!" said Sunset Shimmer, causing the girls to halt.

"Let me guess," said a non-surprised Twilight, "You had your cronies bring Spike out here to tell me that you're threatening to use that hammer to destroy the portal unless I give you the crown.

Sunset just looked shocked.

"Well, thanks for ruining the moment!"

"You are aware that Equestria has other defenses other than the Elements of Harmony and even if you destroy the portal, I wouldn't have any qualms with staying here if it meant protecting this world from you." said Twilight.

"Yes," said Susnet SHimmer, "But guess what?"

"What?"

"While you were jabbering on, my cronies took your crown!" Sunset Shimmer saidevilly with the crown in her hand.

Shocked, Twilight felt her head and saw that her crown really was gone.

Sunset meanwhile, gloats, "Finally, the power is mine..."

And with that Sunet puts the crown on her head and is suddenly enveloped in a beam of magic, much to the surprise of everyone present.
