This story is a sequel to Cheering Section

Thanks to Vice Principal Luna and Dean Cadance, Sci-Twi has now found a new passion in the often misunderstood art form of belly dance. While she has promised to keep quiet about Luna's and Cadance's practice, Twi decides to share her new hobby with her Canterlot High friends...

The second of my Equestria Girls belly dance stories.

Twilight is stressed about having to introduce Sunset to her parents over the weekend. Conveniently, Sunset knows that one of the best cures for stress is kissing your girlfriend.

This story has been rewritten as The Twilight Effect.

Twilight Sparkle had always been a bit strange. Whether it was her unconventional name, her naturally purple and pink hair, or her persistent belief that science held the answer to everything, it was enough that this strangeness prevented her from forging any sort of relationship up into high school.

Now, just starting her final year, something mysterious happens at Kanterlot High School. The kind and benevolent principal will no longer speak to her. Students with names just as weird as hers are popping up out of nowhere in the same day. Everywhere, everywhere she turns there’s talk and sight of magic, followed up by a terrible monster being unleashed on the school. And worst of all? Twilight finds herself almost willing to believe it all.

Almost. Good thing she’s smart enough not to, right?
