It was a normal day at Canterlot High. The sun shined down upon the building as students come and go on their normal routines. At the courtyard, some students simple enjoyed the sunny day relaxing close the Wondercolt statue waiting for the next bell to sound on peace and quiet….
"BANZAIIIIIIIIII" an energetic voice echoed around as a pink blur shoot from inside the building like a rocket making some students jump out the way to not be run over as the object crashed with force against one of the faces of the statue´s base.
GONG!
"Ugggg" the blur turned out to be a pink haired girl who after the hit ended up falling on her rump "oh bummer" she said in disappointment as she rubbed her head.
"Uff again Pinkie pie?" a voice sounded behind her making her look up to watch the worry/annoyed faces of her 5 friends "this is like the 5th time this week you try to go through the portal…and it's just Tuesday!" her rainbow haired friend finished throwing her arms in the air.
"I really thought I was going to make it this time" her friend answered as Sunset extended a hand and helped her up.
"You know that if Twilight was going to open the portal I will be the first to tell you right?" the red and yellow haired girl asked.
"I know, I know" Pinkie said dusting off her skirt "it's just…come on guys now that we can open the portal at will we can go and know an entirely different world, with magic… magic princesses, magic ponies, magic places, and GASP maybe magical cupcakes"
"Hehehe" chuckled Sunset at her friend's enthusiasm "a cupcake will be always a cupcake Pinkie, no matter if it's made for a pony or a human"
"Beside it's not us the ones that can open that portal" Applejack added "princess Twilight is the only one who can open it from her side"
"Ahhhh why couldn't she leave it open?" Pinkie asked downfallen.
"You know darling that it would be too risky to leave it open all the time" Rarity answered.
"Someone could have slip and fall through it" Fluttershy said in timid manner before shuddering "or something on that side could walk through it"
"Even if the portal it ́s safe inside Twilight´s castle it's too risky to leave it open all the time" Sunset ended "what's more, we can't risk more magic entering this world. As it is we can't be sure that the sirens were the only thing that end up here from Equestria"
The girls looked uncertain at that, although Pinkie looked sadder that anything.
"It just…I really REALLY want to meet Twilight in the other side" she said eyeing the place where the portal was located.
"I know sugar cube" said Applejack putting a comforting hand on her friend shoulder "we all will like to see her again, but we can't do nothing without Twilight´s permission to cross"
Pinkie looked down rejected.
"Now-now dear nothing of sad faces" said Rarity joining her friend´s side "that doesn't mean we can't visit Twilight" she assures her friend "we only need to ask her next time if she can allow us to visit"
This seems to spring the pink girl back to life.
"You are right!" she said with a smile "and we don't need to wait much" she added looking at Sunset "we have your diary, we can write Twilight and ask her for a visit"
The rest of the girls thought about that too and smiles appeared on their faces, however Sunset's face morphed into a nervous one.
"W-well yeah we could do that" said Sunset trying to keep herself calm "but remember Pinkie, Twilight is a princess, she has responsibilities to take care off. And I don't think it would be right to bother her like that"
The pink haired girl looked down in sadness, her hair even seems to deflated
"I said no sad faces darling" said Rarity putting a hand on her face "Sunset didn't say it would be impossible…. We only need to be sure we won't interrupt Twilight, she is a princess after all, it would be rude of us to just ask her out of nowhere to open the portal and let us run freely on her kingdom" Pinkie pie looked at her friend "we must act in protocol, I'm sure we can ask her when she can be free and let her plan the whole deal" she looked at Sunset who give a sigh.
"I think I can drop her a message or two about that" she finally said much to the happiness of her friend.
"There see?...we only need to be patient" the fashionista said before taking a good look at the face of her friend "in the meantime darling I think it would be good for you to go and refresh a bit" she pulled out a small mirror and open it in front of pinkie.
Her pink hair was more out of place that normal, her face has some dirt and was quite red from her run and impact.
"Whoa! I do look bad, don't I?" she asked dusting off her clothes again.
"Nothing a good amount of water and soap can't solve" Rarity said "now go on, we will go ahead and save you a spot at the cafeteria"
"And keep Rainbow from eating your tacos" added Applejack with a teasing smile.
"Hey! That was just one time" the sport girl said crossing her arms.
Pinkie smiled and walked back inside the school.
"You know" Applejack started when Pinkie walked out of reach "even when chances are low, if I'm honest I wouldn't mind visiting that world myself" the other girls turned their heads at her "not only will it be a one of a kind experience, but I'm actually curious to see what my pony counterpart will be" she smiled "and imagine all the new type of apples that it may be found only in Equestria…now won't be nice to have some seeds to try here?"
"I get you AJ" Rainbow Dash said "I do would like to go myself…if only to get my wings back!" she ended shouting "no need of my guitar, just cross over and take fly"
"That if you don't hit yourself with Twilight´s ceiling" said Sunset with a smile "remember the portal its inside her castle so you would end up making a hole on it"
"She is right Rainbow Dash" said Rarity on a scolding tone "you can simple go and ruin royal property like that"
"Like you won't try to take something from there to prove you were in a princess castle" retorted the rainbow haired girl.
"Why I never!" Rarity took a deep breath "thought the idea of visiting the castle of a princess is certainly something I will like to do, there is also the possibility of meeting a royal dress maker…oh the ideas I could come with by meeting one" she looked in the distance as she thought on all the dresses she could try and make "just imagine…the ears and tails have become quite popular, just think about bringing a full equestrian trend to the school….I may be also ahead of other designers by creating a whole pony inspired line with the support of a true princess" she looked at Sunset "you think Twilight would mind modeling some of them?"
Sunset giggled at the excitement of her friend "well first of all I don't know if Twilight have something as a Royal dress maker and second, remember that the clothes of that side are make for ponies"
"Details, details" waved Rarity "I'm sure I can adapt some dresses for human use, plus I only need the inspiration not copy the models"
Sunset smiled as she shakes her head before looking on her shy friend "well Fluttershy you're the only one left"
"Um...me?"
"Yeah come on Flutters, tell us what you will do if you could visit Twilight" said Rainbow Dash in exited tone wondering what her animal lover friend would said.
"Umm…well…. It's nothing big as you guys" she said rubbing an arm "it's just…ummm..well I will like to…umm go and meet the ponies" she ended up blushing.
"Meet the ponies?" Rainbow asked confounded.
"Umm yeah I mean…our ears are cute, and if they are cute just imagine how the ponies will be" she seemed to shine at the idea "all those little ponies, with their colorful fur and they will talk" her smile grew "talking sentient little ponies…oh my gosh just imagine!…not only the ponies but other creatures will also may be sentient, I will be able to talk with a pony and maybe a lamb" her eyes sparkled as the idea hit her "…lambs are so cute, and now I will be able to talk to one, and that's only them!…all the possible cute critters that could only live on that world and!…." She realized everyone was looking at her, Rainbow trying to hold a laugh, she then blushed and returned to her typical setting "ummm…yeah that's what…ummm I will like"
"Don't worry Fluttershy, I'm sure Twilight will have friends that will like to meet you" Said Sunset putting a hand around her friend "and I'm sure there will be…creatures that also will like to talk with you" the pink haired girl smiled.
In that moment the bell rang.
"Well let's go before a line its form" said the athlete of the group as she run ahead
"You hear her...let's go before she ends up eating all" AJ laugh as Rainbow yelled a "hey!" from the distance "well if I were to meet a pony as you said Shy, I think I will stick with my counterpart…as I said I wonder how she and I will differ or be the same"
"Ummm meet my other self would be quite an experience" said Rarity "just imagine the conversation we both could have" she could very well imagine herself and other Rarity over a nice tea party as they discuss civilized things (clothes and trends).
Fluttershy just imagined the idea of meeting a pony version of herself, wondering how she could look.
"All I know it's that we will need to be carefully in case Pinkie meets her other self" giggled Sunset receiving an affirmative nod form the other girls. "You go ahead I will leave my things in my locker first"
Meanwhile none of them noticed a pair of yellow eyes opening from a close by poster or the mischievous giggle that followed them.
In the bathroom Pinkie was busy cleaning her face on the sink…grabbing a bit of soap she created a lot of bubbles (that soon filled the whole thing) before grabbing it, covering her face, rubbed until her whole head was covered in foam. Then opened the water tap, put her head under the water, and returned up totally clean up with her hair flat and wet. Smiling she shook her head and soon her hair poofed back to normal and totally dry.
"Ready!" she announced before pulling a towel form her hair and passed it over her face. "Whoa" she exclaimed as she looked her reflection "it's true what they said about soap in your eyes" her reflection now had two big yellow eyes instead of her normal blue ones "Although shouldn't it made them red instead of yellow?"
"Well if you want I can make them red too" her reflection said before her eyes flashed and turned red.
"Ummmm I don't know if red eyes fit me really" said Pinkie after a moment of thought.
"Oh, don't worry I have more colors" her reflection said "how about green?" her eyes turned green "or purple?" turned purple "how about mix them?" one eye turned back green "oh oh how about tartan?" her eyes became a crisscrossed pattern of horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colors and her clothes turned into a Scottish skirt and top. In another flash a set of bagpipes appeared and the reflection began playing a tune.
"Hahahaha you are funny magic mirror" said Pinkie before staying still "wait a minute...there isn't a magic mirror outside the one in the statue" suddenly she gasped fully understanding what was happening "You are from Equestria!" she cried in surprise.
"Guilty of charge" her reflection said before snapping her fingers and her whole-body changed to a large dragon like creature with a deer antler on the right, a blue goat horn on the left, one long fang, different-sized pupils, a snake tongue, a goat beard, and white bushy eyebrows. He had the right arm of a lion, the left claw of an eagle, the right leg of a lizard, and the left leg of a goat. In addition, he had a bat's right wing, a feather left wing, a horse's mane, and a dragon-like snake's tail with a white tail tuft.
"Discord at your service" he made a small bow.
"That...was…soooooooo cool!" said Pinkie pie in excitement.
"Hahahaha...well it seems that no matter in what world you are Pinkie Pie, you always will be the funny one"
"You know me?" asked the pink haired girl.
"Know you?" Discord said in surprise "if we are like peanut butter and jelly" he turned into a sandwich with his face on one side and Pinkie´s face on pink jelly. Then another discord grabbed the sandwich and eats it "after all we both are good friends with princess Twilight"
"You know Twilight?!" Pinkie yelled/asked in excitement.
"Why of coarse" Discord replied as an image of Twilight joined Discord on a cool pose "if we are best friends...almost family" both high five before Twilight disappeared in a flash.
"Whoa that's awesome…so what are you doing here?"
"Oh well…I couldn't help but hear that you and your friends are a bit curious about Twilight´s life back in Equestria" Discord said "so I said to myself...Discord, you handsome draconequus, as good friend of the princess of friendship it's your duty help her other friends to learn more about her…not just as the girl they meet" a flash and Twilight was back "but also the princess" a flash and Twilight was wearing a princess gown and crown "the bookworm" she appeared with glasses with a mountain of books behind her "the student" she now wore a school girl uniform "the warrior" now a purple full body armor holding a flag "all the tales and tribulations she unfortunately haven't be able to tell you" he hold up a book with a six point start in the cover, he summoned some glasses and began passing pages "all this stories she is just dying to share with you all but can't cause her responsibilities" he hold the book to his chest as tears fell from his eyes "oh how unfair is life when a good girl cant share with her friends all this stories"
"Yeah it's so sad" agreed Pinkie "I really will love to hear them"
"Oh, but that's what I'm here" Discord said returning to his joyful self "Twilight can't share them but I will be more than happy to tell you all about them"
"But how would you that?...do I need to bring the girls all here?" she said pointing behind her.
"Oh no need of that" Discord made the book spin before sending it through the mirror. In a flash of light, the book turned into a small DVD disc floating in the air.
"Uhhhhhhh" Pinkie extended her hands and the disk fell on them.
"Ta-da!" said Discord "the whole life and experiences of princess Twilight and her friends on a comfortable movie for you and your friends enjoyment" he added as popcorns and a soda appeared on his hands "so go grab a snack and a drink…call your friends and enjoy"
"Really?...you mean now we can learn more about Twilight and Equestria?" asked Pinkie with a smile.
"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake on my eye" rhymed Discord ending with a literally pink cupcake on his eye .
"Gasp…. A pinkie promise!" Pinkie exclaimed happily "so it means this must be real….yahooo!" she celebrated before running out the bathroom….then returning "thankyouthankyouthankyou!" she said in rapid pace before flashing out again.
"Hehehe it was my pleasure" the draconequus said before noticing another girl (short orange hair and glasses) that was looking at him "I'm sorry…did you just spied on our conversation?" he asked "huff how rude of you" and in a flash he disappeared leaving a very confused girl behind.
At the cafeteria the rest of the girls were eating their lunch in peace (with AJ having to keep Rainbow`s hand away from Pinkie`s share of tacos) when suddenly the doors opened with a bang as a pink comet went through them calling everyone´s attention.
"I have it, I have it, I have it!" Pinkie said excited as she stopped on the table where her friends were sitting. The rest of the students simply returned eating, as they believed it was another of those Pinkie moments that tend to pass...although one or two were looking at her wondering what had happen to get her that excited.
"Whoa Pinkie was the rush?" Sunset asked as her friend moved aside the food tray and pulled out her laptop.
"I just received the most wonderful gift a could have ever ever received!" said Pinkie Pie turning it on, a big grin on her face, as she showed them the DVD disk.
"Oh that's wonderful" said Fluttershy "but...ummmm…what is it?"
"It's the whole history of Twilight" she exclaimed gaining the attention of the rest of the students at the mention of the purple girl "now we can learn all we want about her and her land"
"Wait what?" asked confused Sunset "Pinkie where did you got that?"
"Oh, in the bathroom a weird looking magical dragon from Equestria gave it to me" she said without a care putting on the disk.
"What?!…PINKIE NO!" cried Sunset but it was too late.
Immediately the laptop of the pink haired girl began glowing before a transparent wall of magic basked the whole cafeteria making the doors close on a bang.
Some students ran to the door…one of the jocks tried to push and pull the door.
"It's locked" he said making everyone to get worry.
"We are going to die"
"This is awful"
"The horror…the horror!"
"I need a hug!"
"The great and powerful Trixie won't be trap here!"
BANG
"Ahhhh smoke… there is fire here!"
"Students…please students" principal Celestia tried to call everyone's attentions but everyone was too busy panicking "students!"
Vice-principal Luna stood on a table.
"BE STILL!" her voice echoed all around making everyone stop "that's better"
"Yes…ehem thank you Luna" said Celestia rubbing her ear "now let's all be calm for a moment...panicking won't help for this" she walked towards the table where the girls were "Sunset Shimmer am I right to assume this was work of magic?"
"I believe yes" said Sunset as she stood and gave a gaze at Pinkie`s laptop "again Pinkie where you get that disk?"
"Oh well as is said this weird dragon appeared in the bathroom mirror, and I mean weird as I'm not sure he was a dragon since he looked like a combination of animals…maybe you would like it Fluttershy"
"Yes, yes that's all very informative miss Pie" Luna said a bit tired "but can you move on?"
"Oh sure…well he said he was a friend of Twilight and wanted to help us to learn more about her and the adventures she had before meeting us"
"Wait what?" Sunset asked in confusion.
"Pinkie Pie darling, outside from this been quite an invasion of privacy on our friend you shouldn't accept gifts from strangers"
"Even more if they looked like a weird dragon like beast that most likely had some evil scheme on its paws" added Rainbow Dash.
"I must agree with your friends on that miss Pie" Celestia said in reproachful tone "that was quite irresponsible of you not to mention dangerous"
"Oh, come on Celestia the girl only wanted have some fun. whats wrong with that?" a voice sounded and all looked at the computer where the dragon creature Pinkie described appeared "what its wrong it's the fact no matter the world, you are still quite a party pooper"
"Principal Discord?" asked Celestia quite confused.
"Uhhh principal? Now that's interesting" said Discord before making a toga and beret appear on him "must said I wonder how I, well my other me, did on the academy field. Bet I won professor of the month every time"
"Wait, you know him principal Celestia?" asked Sunset confused.
"Well no really" said the principal "it's his voice"
"Agree with that…he sounds like ex-principal Discord" added Luna "he was in charge of Canterlot high before my sister"
"Uhhh bet school then was funny"
"More like chaotic" said Celestia in a deadpan tone.
"He was fired because of that" added Luna crossing arms.
"Bah…bet you never understood my counterpart`s geniality and potential" added the draconequus turning his back at them.
"That point aside" said Sunset "what do you want? And why you give my friend that disk?"
"Yeah answer us freak" yelled Rainbow on threatening tone.
"Ok did I reality bend on my sleep again?" said Discord scratching his head "Because you are the same Rainbow Dash I know, only wearing those ridiculous clothes" Rainbow looked ready to steam at that "but answering your question miss rebel student" Sunset recoiled at that "as I told Pinkie Pie before, this disk contain all of Twilight`s adventures, plus all the tales of those around her…all you need to know about Equestria or the pony world in general is here for your entertainment"
"And the fact we are all trapped?" asked Luna in suspicion.
"Oh, just a small way to make sure you don't get interrupted, I will hate the idea of anyone losing on moment of this" he chuckled.
"Quite kind of you" said Celestia with an ironic tone "but that doesn't change the fact that we can't let the students lost a school day just for this" some students groaned at that.
"Uggg seriously Celestia, do you have to be so boring in all the worlds?" asked Discord "fortunately for you I'm not that of a monster…your students will be able to" shudder "still have their lectures…since you won't lose a second here"
"Come again?" Applejack asked confused.
"Oh, its simple...the moment the spell activated this whole place was contained inside of a time bubble"
"Uhhhh that's clever" Derpy said making all turn to her "that means we are trapped inside a singularity that basically slow or stop time around us making us all still feel like time its passing"
Everyone blinked.
"How did you…?" Octavia began asking
"I love bubbles" the girl answered with a smile and a squeaky noise.
"Yeah like she said" continue discord "the spell will end once you finish watching an episode" he made cue notes "and will reactivate once you put the disk back…so you won't lose any of your precious school time" he ended by imitating Celestia (Rainbow wig and all)
Everyone turned to see each other.
"So basically, we only have to watch this once and then we will be free?" asked Sunset
"Aggg yes that's it" said Discord exasperate since no one seems to get what he was saying "but why would you wanted to see it just once?...this is about Twilight" an image of the purple girl appeared "the magical pony princess from another dimension that save you all from an evil demon girl" Twilight dressed like an anime character ready to fight against Sunset`s demon from.
Said girl only could groan in frustration at the image.
"So take advantage of this...have fun…and enjoy" and with that Discord disappeared and a menu appear with different tittles. The first one called Friendship is magic
"Umm well?...what do we do?" asked Applejack.
"Sigh, as much as I don't want to pray into princess Twilight´s life like this I don't think there are many options here" said Sunset.
"Unfortunately, that's correct miss Shimmer" said Celestia "thought must admit this sounds like a good chance to learn a bit more about the world you hail from"
"Not to mention known princess Twilight better" added Luna "there is so much neither me or my sister asked about her on her brief moments here"
"Oh oh…let's not forget maybe we can see her fight monsters with magic" said Pinkie with a smile.
"Oh, you think she is the warrior princess type?" asked Rainbow also liking the idea.
"More like magical princess type" Lyra said from the crowd "with magical wands and all"
"She really didn't need one in Equestria" said sunset.
"Oh! Maybe she had to fight evil dark lords" another student said.
"You think she lives in a castle?"
"She is a princess so I think so"
"I do wonder how different that world will be to ours"
More voices sounded as everyone began to feel exited at the idea of knowing about that magical world that lay just steps from their front door but couldn't access.
"Then it´s decided…we will watch this at least once so we can get out" said Celestia making the students cheer.
"Umm...I don't want to...ummm you know…. Learn things like this" said Fluttershy "what if Twilight gets mad and think we are…umm been noisy?"
"That's a good point Fluttershy" said Sunset "but after the first episode is done we will able to get out, then I will contact Twilight and inform her about this"
With that everyone came closer to the table trying to gain the better view to the screen.
"Uggg why couldn't that weird dragon thing give us a bigger screen?" complained Cherry Crash.
"Stop complaining…the great and powerful Trixie!…. Have better things to do that this so let's end quickly"
"Oki doki loki" said Pinkie pie giving play to the first episode "uhhh I'm so nervouscited"
