Principal Cinch spoke over the intercom. When the girls reached her drab, dark office, Indigo was already sitting down in one of five chairs set up in front of the Principal's desk. "Sit," said Principal Cinch, poinpting to the chairs, "Now girls," she continued, "I have heard from your fellow teachers and classmates about these," she took this time to stare at them, "incidents. We simply can't have magic or whatever in our school. We have all seen how it made Canterlot turn out. Now, stop using it, or there will be consiquences. No one can see us as imperfect fools unable to control our gifts." "But Principal Cinch," said Sunny, "none of us knew we could do this. It only happened after," Sour nudged her in the arm, "Never mind..." "What is it Sunny, anyone with brains knows somethings up," said Principal Cinch, leaning over the desk. "Well, we were in Twilight's lab," said Sunny. Principal Cinch pulled the microphone that controled the intercom to her mouth. "Will Twilight Sparkle please report to my office?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunset was hanging out by the horse statue at the front of Canterlot High. After the call from Twilight earlier, she was wondering forever about what she meant by Lemon ponying up. It can't be right, only my group of friends pony's up, right Sunset thought. She pulled out her cell phone. She put her thumb over contacts and hovered over the button. She wanted to push it, but something told her not to. "Sunset!" called Rainbow, panting heavily as she ran up beside her friend, "You know what happened to Pinkie?" "Yeah, what do you mean?" asked Sunset. "Well, she did say she felt like a part of her was lost, right? Well, it was so strange, during math class, I was dozing off, until I felt something. Its hard to explain, but it was almost like what Pinkie said, like a part of me went missing." "You sure it wasn't just the fact you were sitting in Math class?" Sunset teased her. "This is serious Sunset," Rainbow said, "Applejack told me she started feeling like that in gym, and Fluttershy during English." "I hate to believe it," said Sunset, "but this worlds Twilight has had weird things happening with her too. I think it's best we ask her about what she's doing." "What about pony Twilight?" "I guess, but she's probably busy beinga princess, we'll ask her as a last resort." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Principal Cinch had just dissmissed the six girls from her office. Twilight was sulking, because Cinch had just removed her private lab privliges. "It'll be fine Twilight," said Sugarcoat, "besides, we can still figure this out in other places. We have the school lab, and our homes," "I guess," said Twilight. Deep down she really hurt. The lab, to her, was like a sanctuary inside a school that partially hated her. And now it was gone. Suddenly, a loud beep interupted her thoughts. "Sunset?" said Twilight after answering the call. "There's too much to explain, I need to see you and your new friends. I think something big happened when you stole our magic, and unleashed it, if that's what happened in your lab." Twilight winced before telling Sunset that they would be at Canterlot as soon as possible. She told the other five Shadowbolts the news, and they hurried out of school to the nearest bus stop. They got on and headed off to Canterlot High.
