//------------------------------// // Journal entry part 22 Another dimension of problems. // Story: Phantom Haunt's Journal Entries // by NJH12 //------------------------------// The night before Haunt's plan is in action... Haunt view; "It's almost time for action, replicate Zecora, replicate Alexi, replicate Chrysalis, and replicate Haunt." I said as there was two of everyone but Trixie. "I am marking the originals with this. If Trixie see this mark then she will know that we are the real ones." I said in a nice manner as I marked the originals then asked, "Doubles, convince Shining Armor that you are us while the marked ones get my page from that mirror. Do you understand?" "Goody, will do." Lexi's double said. "Try to come back in one piece." Zecora's double said. "Fine, I don't like this but I will try." Chrysalis' double said. "You can't make me do it." my double said with an evil laugh. "Trixie thinks your personalities has split Haunt." Trixie said. "Great, Trixie make sure my double does not get into any trouble tomorrow." I said nicely. "Trixie understands." Trixie said. "Ok marked ones, let's go into that mirror." I said nicely as the marked ones sneaked into the room with that magic mirror. "Wait for me until I come back unless I am not back within the hour then follow inside." I said as I went in first. When I come out the other side I hit the ground hard. "Ow. That hurt. Let's see what I am, and where I am." I said as I looked around I see a building with a sign said 'Canterlot High school' underneath it it said 'School starts tomorrow. Make sure you have your supplies', behind me was a statue with the 'door' back to the universe that 'spit' me out, it was nighttime which means most species are asleep. First conclusion, I was at a school which starts tomorrow and I needed supplies. Now I look at me, front hooves are like spike's hands, five digits in each one, back hooves are like spike's feet with some type of a weird shoe, a weird thing on my left wrist that tell to me a time, and have no wings or horn. Second conclusion, I am a human like Lyra described to a certain degree. I still have my purple hooded jacket with a black bat symbol on it, but now I have more clothing now than I had when I was pony like grey pants, my cutie-mark is now a necklace, my shoes are black with lime-green shoelaces, and have a blue watch that tells time. "Time to go back." I said as I went through the 'door' that 'spit' me out, going through it the second time was a much smoother trip. "Ow. Mental note bring pillow for landing." I said. "How was it?" Lexi asked. "It is the human universe, like Lyra fantasized. Your center of gravity will be off, you need to stand on your back hooves or feet as what 'they' call them. Also saying anything pony related is not aloud unless you are talking about riding them, and you should replace it with person, people, and/or body. For example anypony should now be called in that universe anybody. And you will be fully clothed as society requires you to wear them. The rest of our questions about anything else will be answered when you go through the mirror." I said as I went back in. "Ow." I said as I quickly found something soft for the others to land on. Lexi come out next. "Owie." Lexi said. She looked like a human like me now with her hair being shorter than her pony mane maybe a little bit more red than orange. She was in blue jeans with an amber shirt and shoes. "Come on Lexi let me help you." I said as I helped her up and made her get use to standing and walking. Zecora come out of the 'door' next which means Chrysalis will be the last one to come out. "Oh, this is a interesting feeling." Zecora said. Zecora had a mohawk that was dark grey and light grey, a gold earring hoop in her left ear, and a couple of gold rings on her right arm. Zecora's clothing is a dull brown tank top with a dull orange shorts with her cutie-mark on her left arm like a tattoo. "Up, up Zecora." Lexi said as she is helping Zecora up and getting use to standing and walking. Chrysalis fell out. "You Imbeciles, I don't need help getting up, I know to stand on two legs." Chrysalis said walking around. Chrysalis has a black beret, green tinted shades, blue t-shirt, light green skirt, long black socks with holes in them and lime-green boots. "Come on, let's see if anybody is working in the school." I said as we went up to the door there was a person that looks like Discord sweeping the stairs. "You know Haunt, I don't need magic mirrors to visit other universes, with a snap of my fingers I can have the same effect. I could even tell that pony princess Twilight Sparkle where you are, but I will not ruined the look on her face if I don't. My advice if you want to take it, is that the school has what you are looking for, so enroll in the school to find it. On that note, fallow me if you want a place to stay." Discord said as he showed us a shack behind the school. "Why so nice this time, Discord?" I asked. "Think of this as a favor that will cash in for later. It is not much, but it is better the concrete slabs. I will wake you when it is time." Discord said as he closed the shack doors as we heard a locking sound. "Why did he lock us in?" Lexi asked. "It is so we don't have a head start on finding my page. Discord will probably only unlock the door when he is ready. Let's just sleep." I said as my body is refusing to stay awake any longer. As I slept, I had a weird dream... "Where am I?" I said as I notice I was not human. Then I saw another me, but this one has a black hooded jacket with a purple bat symbol on it. I fallowed him, he turn around while I duck behind a pushed over crate. "I know you are there me, I am an evil you and you are a good me. We are both having the same dream, Why don't you come out of hiding?" my Evil self questioned. "What do myself wants?" I asked. "We should know what we want 'Mr. Goody Two-hooves', but if I must spell it out. I want only our body and mind owned by me 'Mr. Baddy Two-hooves', but I know you 'Mr. Goody Two-hooves' will not let me have it without some trouble. So here is the deal which ever either of us finds our entry that make us whole will win this body forever. Do you agree with this offer 'Mr. Goody Two-hooves'?" the Evil me asked. "What is the catch?" I questioned. "No catch, except that we both know one thing for sure that page that makes us whole, is either here with you 'Mr. Goody Two-hooves' or with me 'Mr. Baddy Two-hooves." my Evil self said. "And how do we know that?" I asked. "Simple, Karma and/or Irony will not let both of us stay out for long, which means one of us will diapered." the Evil me said. "Seems fair to me. No cheating right?" I asked, knowing my evil me might probably cheat. "Sure, no cheating." my Evil self said, also knowing that I know that he might cheat to win. "Deal." I said as we shook on it. "Time for me to go, Discord take me back to the part where I am about to kick Team T.R.A.PP.E.D. flanks." the Evil me said. "Wait!" I said but it was to late. I wounder what he meant by that. As a long silence past, my evil self came back. "I'm back." the Evil me said. "Where was I?" I asked. "We went back in time twice to prepare Team T.R.A.PP.E.D. for our arrival." my Evil self said. "Haunt." a voice said. "Oh, that's great. Anything else we did?" I asked. "Awaken Haunt." a voice said. "I... destroyed... universe!" the Evil me voice was cutting in and out which means my dream was ending. "Haunt, Wake up!" a voice said. "Wait, come back!" I said. As I finally come out of my dream... "Haunt, did you have a bad dream?" Lexi asked. "More like a nightmare. All that I can remember is a deal with an Evil me." I some what lied. "What was the deal?" Lexi asked. "The deal was which ever one of us gets the page that make us whole wins this body and mind." I said. "So now we have to deal with finding the page before the other Haunt finds one." Chrysalis said as we heard a *click*. "Rise and shine, former ponies and zebra. Today is the day of school. Here is your school bags with the stuff you need." Discord said as he gave me a black one, Lexi an amber one, Zecora white bag with grey stripes, and Chrysalis a light blue one. "This is still the same favor as before, so don't even have the idea that the favor is payed in full." Discord said as we went up to the school we saw Trixie I quickly went up to her. "Trixie, why are you not with the doubles?" I asked. "Trixie has know idea who you are and why you know my name, but Trixie must asked what doubles?" Trixie asked as it hits me, this is not our Trixie which means it must be the alternate Trixie. "Sorry you looked like our friend who also name is Trixie." I said. "Then she knows that there is one 'the Great and Powerful Trixie' and she only copies my greatness by changing her name." the alternate Trixie said. "Yes she is your biggest fan and she tried to match your greatness, but failed so she changed her name to yours." I said. "I must meet her, where does she live?" the alternate Trixie asked. "She lives at..." I said before the bell rang. *Ring* "Sorry Trixie must go, but are you the new students?" the alternate Trixie asked as we went up the stairs of the building. "Why yes we are." I said. "Then you must go to the Principal Celestia's office. It is the second door to the left after you turn right. Trixie must go into class soon." the alternate Trixie said. "By." I said as we were walking to the Principal Celestia's office, I got a glimpse of Team T.R.A.PP.E.D. minuses the T. They might be the alternate of the other T.R.A.PP.E.D.. "I see we have new students, but are you from the other side where Twilight Sparkle came from?" Principal Celestia asked. "We are from over there, but we will try to be inconspicuous as possible, Principal Celestia. Shall I tell you our names?" I asked. "Please do so I can enroll you in this school, for as long as you are here." Principal Celestia said. "First off, I can tell you that you are so much nicer than my Celestia. I am Phantom Haunt, next to me is Alexi Monnark but she prefers to be called Lexi, the next one after that is Zecora, and the last one is Chrysalis." I said. "How long are you staying?" Principal Celestia asked. "Until I find my page from my journal, if you see it the writing looks like a chicken scratch on it." I said. "I do have one like you describe, but unfortunately my sister Luna who is also the Vice-Principal of this school has it and will not be back until near the last class." Principal Celestia said. "Then we will participate in this school until then." I said. "Here is your schedule as I am being nice enough to let you all have the same classes together." Principal Celestia said. "Thank you." I said as we left the office I saw a Twilight Sparkle walking towards me. "I am going to miss school enrollment again Spike! What will people think of me skipping school twice? Excuse me sir, but do you know were is Principal Celestia's office is?" the alternate Twilight Sparkle asked me. "Let me guess your name is Twilight Sparkle am I right?" I said as I was thinking this is a chance to mess with her... wait, I can't even remember if I was the good one. Oh well I will know soon enough. "Why yes it is how do you know mister?" the alternate Twilight Sparkle asked. "Phantom Haunt, and you looked like a Twilight Sparkle to me. Every time I meet someone new, I try to think what their name is I guess I was right this time. Let me walk you the Principal Celestia's office, oh a heads up everybody thinks you are pony princess because someone with your exact name came to this school proclaiming to be a pony princess. Just say it was your identical twin sister, unless you want to go through the hassle of telling everybody that was not you." I said as me and her went back the Celestia's office. "Oh, you're back Haunt and princess Twilight Sparkle, I thought you would not come back here until after you were done with your princess duty's?" Principal Celestia asked. "She is not her. She is your universe Twilight Sparkle. I told her what I knew about the 'incident' and to tell people that she has a identical twin sister if anyone did not believe her story." I try to explain. "Really? Where were you last year?" Principal Celestia asked. "I overslept last enrollment and I did not want to started school so late, so I home schooled myself until this enrollment started again." the alternate Twilight Sparkle said. "I see, if anyone gives you trouble don't hesitate to talk strait to me." Principal Celestia said. "Thank you, Principal Celestia." the alternate Twilight Sparkle said as she went with me, Lexi, Zecora, and Chrysalis to our first class, math. *Ring* "Oh hello, Twilight Sparkle the talk of the school and you must be the new students. If you can tell the class your names and a little about yourself then have a seat wherever you want." the alternate Cheerilee said. "Oh you must be talking to my identical twin sister." the alternate Twilight Sparkle lied. "Don't be modest Twilight, we all know what you did last school year." the alternate Cheerilee said. "But it was not me that did it." the alternate Twilight Sparkle said. "Phantom Haunt, part-time Journalist for royalties." I said as I sit down near the back. "Lexi Monnark, I am a distance relative to Phantom Haunt." Lexi said as she sit next to me. "Zecora, I write poems, and make my home remedies to make pon... people feel better." Zecora said as she sit in front of me. "Chrysalis, heir of a royal family." Chrysalis said as she sit in front of Lexi. "Very good. It is nice to have new people who loves learning. Now turn to page 22 in your books, and work on problems 1, 3-6, 8-11, 13-15, 17-19, 21-25, 27-30, 32-33, 35-40, 42-45, 47-52. Please try to show your work." alternate Cheerliee said as everybody turned to that page. I saw people getting out a page from a notebook as we did the same. Phantom Haunt Simple Math Hr 1 Page 22: 1, 3-6, 8-11, 13-15, 17-19, 21-25, 27-30, 32-33, 35-40, 42-45, 47-52. 1) 10-1=? 9. 3) 10+1=? 11 4) 7+7=? 14. 5) 7+8=? 15. 6) 19+4=? 23. 8) 20+3=? 23. 9) 4+5-1=? 8. 10) 19-18=? 1. 11) 15+5=? 20. 13) 3-2=? 1. 14) 9+9=? 18. 15) 5-0=? 5. 17) 5+10+8+2=? 25. 18) 5+10=? 15. 19) 22-1=? 21. 21) 3+5=? 8. 22) 4-3=? 1. 23) 13+13=? 26. 24) 3+3+3=? 9. 25) 6-3=? 3. 27) 15-2=? 13. 28) 10-5=? 5. 29) 25-20=? 5. 30) 10+9+1=? 20. 32) 11+10=? 21. 33) 19+0=? 19. 35) 12-8=? 4. 36) 10+11=? 21. 37) 20-2=? 18. 38) 20-11=? 9. 39) 8+6=? 14. 40) 5+2=? 7. 42) 6+0=? 6. 43) 17+2-1=? 18. 44) 7-2=? 5. 45) 9-4=? 5. 47) 8+7+1=? 16. 48) 8-3=? 5. 49) 36-18=? 18. 50) 14-5=? 9. 51) 35-5-15=? 15. 52) 12-4-4=? 4. As I looked at my answers only I saw a pattern, if a=1,... Z=26 and the number skips are spaces, then the answers spelled out a message. 'I know what are you H.A.Z.I.C., meet us during free period.' I guess we will see who they are, my guess would be Team T.R.A.PP.E.D. minus the T. *Ring* The next class is let's see, nothing is written must be free period for us which means we meet the people who knows that we are not from here. "Somebody knows we are not from around here. We are meeting them now." I said as I saw the people that we are suppose to meet. *Ring* "Are you Haunt, Lexi, Zecora, and Chrysalis?" Alternate Rainbow Dash asked. "Yes we are them. What do you need?" I asked. "Are you from the pony dimension?" alternate Fluttershy asked at that moment the alternate Twilight Sparkle walked to us. "Hello, um..." the alternate Twilight Sparkle said before she was swarmed by Team T.R.A.PP.E.D. minus the T, which is now back to Team T.R.A.PP.E.D. "Twilight!" the rest of her team said at the same time. "Jinx, six sets of hay fries, I mean french fries are mine." Zecora said. "Nice save." Lexi sarcastically whispered back. "Let go of her! She is not the Twilight Sparkle you know, she is the Twilight from your universe." I said as they release her from the 'killer' hug. "Sorry darling, we thought you were her." the alternate Rarity said. "I don't know why the other me are friends with you, but I am not her. Well I am her and I am not her... But that is not the real problem, the real problem is what did the other me did last year because something went down and nobody will tell me what happened." the alternate Twilight Sparkle said. "Well in short. The other you from their dimension, with the help of us stopped a major disaster from happening." the alternate Fluttershy said. "You expect me to believe that a pony me that turned human saved this universe with the help of you gals while I was gone and the new students are from that said 'pony' universe to get a page, from Haunt's journal? Not likely unless you have proof that says otherwise." the alternate Twilight Sparkle said. "Do you remember that I guess your name well I can guess your dog's name which is Spike, your Big Brother Best Friends Forever or for short B.B.B.F.F. his name is Shining Armor. Your former baby-sitter and Principle Celestia's adopted niece, Mi Amore Cadenza or should I say Principal Candance is married to your B.B.B.F.F. Shall I continue?" I asked. "No, no that is proof enough for now. So are you all ponies?" the alternate Twilight Sparkle asked. "More importantly are you all pony prince and princess?" the alternate Pinkie Pie asked as she try to crush my lungs. "I... can't... breath." I had a hard time squeezing my words out as the alternate Pinkie Pie let go of her hug. "Sorry about that, but is the other us's with the 'pony' Twilight Sparkle trying to stop you from getting your pages Haunt?" the alternate Pinkie Pie asked. "In order, no we are not all ponies Zecora is a zebra, Chrysalis is a Changeling, not a single one is a prince or princess but I am an Alicorn, yes the other self's with 'pony' Twilight Sparkle trying to stop us, and I also know that you know that your other self has a linked 'pinkie sense'. As I have seen it in action." I said. "What do you need us to do, partner?" the alternate Applejack asked. "You are willing to help us. Just like that, even you know the other self's are trying to stop us at nothing to make sure I don't restore my journal to full?" I asked. "Sure darling. You don't want people reading your personal journal, do you?" the alternate Rarity asked. "No I do not, here is the thing the page that I am looking for is in vice-principal Luna's office and she won't come back soon enough for us so we steal the key to Luna's room from the janitor by knocking them out getting their key ring and get inside the office get the page get out lock back the door return the janitor's keys back on them before he wakes up." I explained. "Or you have a photographic memory and molded Vice-Principal Luna's office key like I did." the alternate Twilight Sparkle said as within her hands an exact duplicate of Luna's office key. "Do I even want to know how you did it?" I asked. *Ring* "No, but we will have to do this next free time, or go on without me." the alternate Twilight Sparkle said as she gives me the key which I tucked away in my left pocket in my jacket. Which by then Team T.R.A.PP.E.D. blended into the crowed and only leaving me, Lexi, Zecora, and Chrysalis left at the scene. "Let's go to the next class." I said as we went to the next class which is... "Uh, it is smudged on some of the letters and the letters I can recognized is in cursive which I have some troubles reading it, well back to Principal Celestia's office for the third time" I said as we went back. "Haunt and the others, either you love being in the principal's office or you are here to ask me something." Principal Celestia said. "Do you know what our next class is?" I asked. "Yes it's old English, anything else you need?" Principal Celestia asked. "You also said that 'vice-principal Luna your sister has the only key to her room', why lie to us?" I asked. "What do you mean?" Principal Celestia lied as I was thinking something is wrong with her from last time we meet. "You know what, you are exactly like my Celestia maybe even worse. What is it that makes you afraid of me? I am trying to undo my mistake that I made a very long time ago. Why are you stalling us?!" I demanded. "I just needed to stall you and your friends long enough for the other Haunt to catch up." Principal Celestia said. "That is exactly what makes me mad! Being a puppet, a pawn, a plaything for 'a higher being or a higher authority' from either the people from your dimension or the species from my dimension!" I shouted at the same time Team T.R.A.PP.E.D. inter the room. *Ring* "You will not leave this office again." Principal Celestia said as she changed into something that I can't describe easily with torn clothes, but one thing is for sure we needed the pony Twilight Sparkle here. And to top it off, the office door and windows was now covered in reinforce steal. "What did we walk into?" the alternate Twilight Sparkle asked. "This is the same thing that happened last year, but without the pony Twilight Sparkle how can we stop her?" the alternate Rarity asked. "I did some research earlier and could possible duplicate the tiara if I had some time." the alternate Twilight Sparkle said. "Ok people, make it happen." I said as I dodge the Monstrous Principal Celestia's morphed right arm which was a elbow blade. "Over here Principal Celestia and have some cake." the alternate Pinkie Pie said as she threw Monstrous Principal Celestia's 'Just desserts'. "That cake tasted so good, but... I... must... destroy... you... all!" the Monsterous Principal Celestia said struggling to fight back the monster inside her. "The real Principal Celestia has a weakness for cakes. Use it to your advantage!" I said as I keep dodging her elbows until her arms changed back to normal. Now her shoulder blades are now sharp curved blades to changed her target to Lexi which she was frozen stiff. "Lexi! Move!" I shouted as I run to her, I used my right arm to blocked the blade for her my right arm is bleeding out, but at that same moment something happened inside of me it felt funny as I look at what was left of my right arm and saw it back on me like it was never cut in the first place. I looked behind me and saw Team T.R.A.PP.E.D. using the duplicated tiara to fix me and freeing the real Principal Celestia from her Monstrous form. "This must be the power of friendship." I said as I moved my right arm around to make sure it was on correctly. "What has happened to me and my uniform?" Principal Celestia asked as she saw her uniform was torn up. "You were a monster, but they save you." I said pointing to Team T.R.A.PP.E.D. as I helped her up. "You each have my everlasting gratitude and you can cash it in for one thing as a reward." Principal Celestia said. "I just want my journal page so we can leave this universe." I said. "Here is the funny thing I had it the whole time." Principal Celestia said as she gave me the page. "I knew that because my journal kept glowing in this room. Oh, here is a duplicated Vice-Principal Luna's office key." I said tossing Celestia the key which she catch it in her left hand. "I hope you see us never." I said as me, Lexi, Zecora, and Chrysalis left the school and back to our universe and read the page, ~entry#22: Haunt here, I remembered in entry#7 that I forgot to tell you how to make your doubles disappeared. Say replicate (name here) disappear. the con is that if you personality has split then you both must sing a duet with each other. Why I have know idea, but it works somehow and that is all you need. (end of entry) "Ow, Trixie and the doubles. I miss you Trixie." I said as I hugged her. "Trixie has know idea what got into you Haunt but I hope it's temporarily. Did you have your page that the evil Haunt said?" Trixie asked. "Do you mean this one?" I said showing my page. "As do I." the Evil Haunt said showing his page. "First things first, replicate Zecora disappear, replicate Alexi disappear, replicate Chrysalis disappear, and now you." I said as all the doubles but the evil Haunt disappeared. "That will have to wait and so can the story later, Shining Armor is getting suspicious of us." Trixie said as we all went out the back in the caravan. "Wait how will the other me fit inside?" I asked. "Well I have the 'ponies shadow' spell from the castle. I'll become Phantom 'X-Jay' Haunt's shadow!" the evil Haunt said as he became my second shadow I heard his voice in my head, 'I am still here mister goody Two-hooves.' "So I want to know what happen and don't skip details Trixie." I asked. "Well after you went in the portal..." Trixie said as everything fades to black.
