Equestria Girls, Adventure, Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Mane 7 (EqG)



“We’re baaack.”

The door slammed open and Spike dropped the painting. Princess Twilight Sparkle turned around and her jaw dropped. 

“Sunset,” she said slowly, “what is going on?”

Sunset Shimmer gulped. Twilight stared at her, silently awaiting an answer. There’s no getting out of this. 

Sunset took a deep breath. “So you remember this whole thing with the yacht and the Storm King’s magic? Things may have gotten worse...”





The ship had sunk, stranding all the passengers and crew on a small island in the middle of nowhere.

“So... what now?” Fluttershy asked.

Sunset turned around, eyes landing on the Staff of Sacanas planted in the sand. The idea immediately came to mind. “I might have a way home. But it’s... kinda weird.”

“At this rate, I’m down for anything,” Applejack said. The rest of the girls agreed.

Sunset walked over to grab the Staff. She could feel the magic radiating off it. Shaking her head, she gestured for the girls to follow her. “There’s a portal deep inside this very forest. If we can get to it, then we can the other portal to get back to the school.”

“Hold up, hold up,” Rainbow Dash said. “Your big plan is to bring everyone to ponyland?”

Sunset stopped walking. “Do you want to wait here for who knows how long?”

Dash quickly shut up and followed Sunset into the forest. As did everyone else.





“Okay. Let’s take this one step at a time.” Twilight gestured to come inside the throne room proper. She then turned to Spike, who was still perched on the ladder. “Spike, could you please get everypony something to drink, please?”

Once all the humans-turned-ponies were settled inside the room, Twilight addressed them. “You’ve all just survived a sinking ship and an interdimensional portal. If any of you or injured or hungry or tired, let me know. One at a time, please. Make a line here...”

A short while later, after Twilight had thoroughly checked everybody and made sure no one was hurt, she pulled Sunset off to the side of the room. Sunset could immediately tell that an interrogation was coming.

“How many humans did you bring over?”

Sunset hesitated. “A lot?” 

Twilight raised an eyebrow and fixed Sunset with a stern glare.

“Two hundred and twenty-two,” she slowly said.

“But there are less than ten here. Where are the rest?”

“I kinda left them in the forest near the other portal.”

“You did what?” Twilight shouted.
