Chapter 1 - The Journey
The Mirror Room June 1st 1003
The mirror began shimmering until a pony came through the side in the Crystal Empire. She seemed lost when she took a look at her surroundings, and did the only thing she could do at that point, walked to the closest door, and went right on through.
The mare took in the surroundings through the door carefully, noticing every detail she could possibly take in. After deciding that she was in a castle, she remembered the reason she came to this new and strange place.
She had to find her.
Crystal Castle June 1st 1003
She wandered around the castle, almost aimlessly as she looked into different rooms, trying to find the one person who could possibly save her world. She had decided to try and avoid the guards, sense she wasn't supposed to be here in the first place.
She would almost consider herself as a ninja, because she made the least amount of noise possible, and was never spotted by any of the guards.
Well, almost none of them anyway.
The guard was guarding the the throne room when he spotted the mare in the dark. he then loudly asked, "Who's there?"
The mare, realizing she had been spotted, started to dash to a hiding place, but it was of no use sense the hallway was really large and the doors were completely sealed off, now that the guard had seen her. After seeing that she had nowhere to go , started shaking in fear while the guard approached her.
The guard recognized the mare as he shone his horn's light upon her and said, "Princess Twilight? What are you doing out of your room?"
Princess Twilight's Room June 1st 1003
Twilight just had the best day of her life. She visited her sister in law, got a warm bath at the spa, and one of the most comfortable beds in Equestria! She way just finished talking with Spike when she heard a rapping at her door, and a voice calling out, "Spike can you come and open the door?" Judging from the deep, male voice, she could tell it was one of the castle guards, but why had he asked for Spike to open the door? She could open it just as well as he could, and started doing so because Spike was fast asleep. What she saw on the other side of the door was something she would have never expected to ever see in her life.
5 minutes earlier in the Hallway to the Throne Room
"I-I got lost looking for m-my room," "Twilight" had told the guard right before asking if she could get an escort to her room.
The guard then went out of his way to escort her to the room she was supposed to be in all night. When they reached the room, it just so happened to be locked tight and only open able with a special key, or from the inside.
Neither of them had a key, due to safety reasons and "Twilight" claiming she left it in the room earlier that day.
The guard then realized that Spike might have been in the room and knocked on the door to call out to him to open the door. When the door did open, it wasn't Spike that answered the door, it was Twilight Sparkle, the 4th princess of Equestria and right where she was supposed to be.
Twilight's room June 1st 1003
The guard was so shocked by this that he passed out on the floor in front of both of the Princesses he saw.
Twilight, the one in the room, instead asked with a worried expression, "W-who are you?"
The other Twilight responded, not with a direct answer but saying, "There isn't time for that Twilight," she said "You must come with me before its too late!"
"I'm not going any where until I get some answers to who you are, where you came from, and why do you need my help?" Twilight said to her supposed double in a very harsh and commanding voice. "You tell me who are or I'm not going anywhere!"
The other Twilight sighed and said, "Alright, I'll tell you everything. My name is Twilight Sparkle, I am from the world on the other side of the mirror, which is in peril and is in desperate need of your help if it means to survive."
Twilight made a look, a very confused look and asked, "What Mirror? I don't remember a mirror leading to another world. And how in Equestria can you be Twilight Sparkle?!? I'm Twilight Sparkle!"
She nearly screamed at her double with that last part who only replied, "Two and a half years ago, you went on a journey to retrieve your crown from Sunset Shimmer, who had planed to use it for evil but was stopped by you, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack. I am the Twilight Sparkle that went to another school while you were at Canterlot High School."
Twilight could only stare in non-belief. She had completely forgotten about the mirror that led her to Canterlot High to retrieve her crown. "But I thought the mirror only opened up every 30 moons, how is it working?"
The other Twilight took a second to reply, and said, "Really Twilight, two and a half years is 30 moons."
"Oh"
"Either way, that's not important. The important thing is that my world is in danger and you are the only one who can save it!" the other twilight said to herself.
"Oh yea, I forgot about that problem I'll Just leave a no-- wait a second, what kind of threat are you up against?"
"Well, about a year ago, a new student appeared at the school and started making everyone miserable. Everyone started feeling miserable enough to be even going to school anymore. Well, everyone but your friends became miserable. They always stayed together, did everything together, stuff like that. Anyway no matter how hard the new kid tried, he couldn't break up their friendship, and everyone started feeling a lot better. They all called it the magic of friendship, which I never understood before that moment. They always looked out for me specifically, at the time I didn't know why they would even bother with someone like me. I was a new student that joined the school 3 months prior to when the other new kid showed up. When I first arrived, everyone was treating me like I was someone special, which I wasn't by the way. Anyway, that is a story for another time I'm afraid, but right now, we need to get you and your crown to the other world before it is too late!"
The Mirror Room June 1st 1003
As they reached the room with the mirror, Twilight could only help but wonder. Would her friends get her message, will they understand, would they--.
She never got to finish that last thought before the other Twilight said, "We're here."
Twilight then realized something what was the new kid's name? Right before journeying to the other world, she asked for an answer.
The other Twilight frowned and said in a very quiet voice, "Discord."
