Here we go.
Sunset Shimmer met her band mates in the gym for an assembly. "Hey guys, how's it going?" she asked.
"It's going great! Principal Celestia said she had some big news and It had something to do with some games. I love games, don't you?" Pinkie rambled. The school marching band began playing before Celestia appeared on the stage.
"Attention students, I wanted to tell you that our school will be facing Crystal Prep in the friendship games." she announced. The students(EVEN PINKIE!)gave a halfhearted clap.
Rainbow came onto the stage. "My I?" she asked, holding out her hand. Celestia handed over the mike and the super athlete began, "Look, I know that we usually get beaten, but this time it's gonna be different. We've had some experiences this year that have toughened us up and we'll win wit that experience. Who's with me?" the crowd erupted and Rainbow couldn't help smiling.
...
"So what's this whole rivalry about? I thought the Friendship Games were meant for us to get along." Sunset asked in the library a few hours later.
"Kinda hard to get along with someone who beats ya at everything." Applejack replied, holding up the yearbook. "'Specially when they got Andrew."
"Andrew?" Sunset asked.
"The Crystal Prep Powerhouse." Rarity explained. "if he's in an event, you might as well not even try."
"He is good." Fluttershy whispered. "And I hear they may have a duel event."
"Tag dueling, I'm in for that one." Sunset clarified. After earning some confused looks she shrugged. "What, a girl can't like a card game?" everyone else shrugged.
...
"I still say that I should bring it." Twilight said as Andrew put the magi-tracker back on the shelf in the lab.
"If there's magic at that school, I'll know it. I'm a Wolf-Falcon with a keen sense of smell, remember?" Andrew replied. "Do you know what the other events are by chance?" he asked, zipping his duffel bag.
"The Tag Duel we'll be doing, some roller derby, Dodge ball, swimming, that's all I can think of."
"You forgot about the foot race." Andrew said, "And will I finally get to see your swimsuit?" he asked teasingly. Twilight just as teasingly punched him. "That's a yes." he laughed.
"You really need to laugh more often." both whipped around to see Lightning Dust leaning in the doorway.
"What do you want?" Andrew hissed.
"I want to see if there's a way I can help you two." The bully replied.
"No seriously, what do you want." Twilight asked.
"I am serious. I dumped Gilda and I wanted to try and make amends for all the crap I pulled." Lightning noticed something and lunged, catching the magi-tracker before it hit the ground.
"Not bad." Andrew commented. Lightning placed the tracker where it was. "Alright, I'm willing to give you a chance if you can show me I can count on you."
"I'm in some of the events with Twilight, I can help her if she needs it." Lightning said quickly. Andrew smiled and shook his head. "What?"
"Your trying too hard. Just keep off the name calling and we'll see where that gets you." Andrew said as he turned to leave, only to run into Sombra. "I suppose you came to check up on us too?" Andrew said, rolling his eyes.
"Yes, I simply wish to get in your good graces for a while at least." the former king replied.
"Same thing I told Lightning, none of your usual crap and we'll see." all four kids walked out of the lab. Five minutes and a talk with Twilight later, they were on the bus to Canderlot High School.
...
All the students competing met in the school gym. Twilight moved around the crowd and found Pinkie pie coming her way. "Hi," she said, extending her hand, "I'm Twilight."
Pinkie took it and shook violently. "I know, you look just like my friend. Her name is Twilight too." she replied.
Andrew will want to hear that. she thought. She had asked him to keep his distance so she could interact with the high schoolers. Andrew, seeing the logic, agreed to find a corner to wait in as long as she waved for him if needed. "Really? And how would that work?"
"Oh, she's from another dimension full of ponies and she's a princess there. She came a couple times when-" Pinkie was cut off when Sunset put a hand over her mouth.
"Okay Pinkie, I think Cheese was looking for you over by the punch." Pinkie giggled and bounced off. Sunset turned to Twilight. "Sorry about that, she's a couple cards short of a deck, if you get my meaning." Twilight, having heard Andrew use that phrase, nodded. "I'm Sunset Shimmer. Nice to meet you."
"I'm Twilight Sparkle. Pinkie was talking about another dimension, it wouldn't by chance be Equestria, would it?" Twilight asked, waving for Andrew.
"How did you- how could you possibly-?"
"She has a unicorn scent." Andrew said, popping up behind Twilight.
"Where did you come from?" Sunset asked, taking a step back.
"Just over there," Andrew replied, pointing to the corner he was hiding out in. "Name's Andrew. You might know me as something different though."
Before Sunset could ask what he meant, Celestia and Discord appeared on stage. "Welcome Crystal Prep students." Celestia said over the mike. "If your all settled, we'll begin the events. The first will be the foot race. Please go to your changing stations where your costumes have already been placed."
"That's my que." Andrew said, "Come on Twi, you're in this one too." both Shadowbolts left as Sunset joined Rainbow Dash.
"What did he mean by that?" Sunset whispered.
Sorry this took so long, I need to start focusing on just one story at a time. Read and Review!
