Just then, the speaker makes a noise, and Principal Celestia announces through it, "Good afternoon, students, I'm sure that you are all wondering about the school's next event will be. Well, I'm happy to tell you that our school will be going its first High School Musical Showcase!"
Applejack bluntly replies, "Uh, Rarity, I don't think everyone is going to agree with the show. Besides, I'm hoping it will be a bake sale or something."
Just then, Pinkie happily asks, "So, do you know what this special event the school is going to put together?"
As they continue their conversation, Rainbow Dash asks, "So, Sun, have you heard from Twilight?"
It's been a few weeks since the Fall Formal, and everything is back to normal from all the crazy magic, and other problems. Sun and her friends are in the cafeteria having their lunch and talking about their everyday lives. They are glad that their lives and friendship are stronger than before, and it's thanks to Sun and their friend Twilight Sparkle. They do miss her ever since she and Spike are gone, and the portal is closed but glad to have Sun's journal to help stay in touch.
After they all agree, the girls are going to start their band for the showcase. Of course, they know there are a lot of things they need to get and do so they can perform. They also need to sign up for it as well. They have some time for the showcase in a few weeks, so they need to put their heads together for their band to work. But as long as they work together as friends, they can do it.
After the announcements have been made, the school bell ring. The students finished their conversation and are gone off to class. Everyone including Sun and her friends is very excited about the music event that will be happening at their school.
Principal Celestia announces through the speakers, "Anyone who wants to sign up to be in the show, show sign up, you can either do solo or perform as a group. I'm sure it will help our school raise money for our activities. We will also need help making signs and posters for the school. That is all and have a nice day!"
The girls start to laugh upon hearing the comment. Rainbow is glad that she has her new and yet, special guitar now. As they leave the store, Sun starts to wonder about the transformation Rainbow displayed. She is starting to think that something inside of her caused her to change as she plays music. Sun decides to wait until something else happens before she can send a message to Twilight and Princess Celestia with the journal. Until then. She needs to see what happens next.
"No, silly. If you want, you'll have to pay for it," Pinkie says by the door, and leaves with the others.
Rainbow comes up to Vinyl who is now at the register, pays for the guitar, and leaves the store with her friends. Vinyl then turns to Trixie to see if she's ready to pay. Trixie looks at the guitar and is glad she won but decides to see the price. When she faces the guitar's backside, she can see the price tag reading, '12,000' on it.
Vinyl walks up to Rainbow Dash so she can claim her prize, but something stops her. She looks at the guitar she uses for the shred off and sees how amazing it is. She realizes that she ended up making the guitar more awesome that the one she wants to win for. With that, she makes up her mind on what guitar she wants to buy.
As Rainbow plays the final melody on the guitar, she slams into the ground and creates a sonic rainbow along with a strong boom. Trixie has been blown away from the final play, literally. When Rainbow Dash finishes playing the music, Sun and the others cheer for her in amazement at her performance. Trixie pushes the drum out of the way to see the transformation and gets up to clean herself.
Just as she strums a few tones on the guitar. Rainbow eyes start to glow, and her guitar turns bright blue, with a red stem, and yellow lightning then starts to levitate in the air as she plays. Trixie and the girls become shocked to see Rainbow floating in the air. As is more surprising, Rainbow grows pony ears, wings on her back, and an extended ponytail.
With that, Pinkie gives Rainbow Dash a blue guitar, and starts to strum on it in a rock music tone. Trixie has an orange guitar and is strumming on it as well. The two are not about to give up, so they play the guitar even louder, and stronger. Trixie is playing the guitar louder than Rainbow Dash. Rainbow is about to be defeated, but she is not going to give up without a fight.
As she grabs one side of the guitar, someone else grabs the other side. Rainbow looks to see that Trixie is holding the other one. Meaning that she wants it too. It turns into a tug-a-war for the guitar.
She gasps in amazement seeing something amazing. It's an electric guitar, red with lighting, and yellow stars on it, and has two stems and two sets of guitar strings. It's not only big, but it's so awesome. Rainbow Dash has the 'I gotta have it' look in her eyes.
"No, Pinkie," Rainbow answers while shaking her head.
Rarity gasps with shock and calmly says, "Now I understand."
The next day, Rainbow Dash invited the girls to come with her to the music store. She explains to them that she needs a new guitar for the band, but some of them are not sure why. As they walk into the story they can see Vinyl Scratch, one of their classmates in the store. They remember, she works here.
Sun grabs hold of the hamster and says, "Come on, little guy, let's get you back with the others."
However, Fluttershy's suggestion doesn't seem to work very well. They just went back to fighting with each other and making a mess. The gasp as the problem is getting out of control.
"Yes. Yes, I did," Rarity says.
"Okay, every hamster, follow Rarity into the next room. She'll take good care of you while Sun and I give your home a nice scrub," Fluttershy informs the hamsters.
Hearing the call, all the hamsters are making their way to the bottom of the habitat so they can be let out. However, Rarity is still looking a bit unsure about hamster sitting.
The three girls look to see a dirty and messy hamster habitat with a lot of monsters inside. Rarity is starting to have an unconformable feeling about hamsters.
Rarity walks over to the next room as she turns on the lights and explains, "Well, once a year, a lucky volunteer gets to clean the hamster habitat."
"Oh, but of course, darling, helping cute little puppies and kitties will never go out of style," Rarity says as she puts a little puppy and snuggles a small white kitten.
"Thanks for coming, Rarity. The Rescue Center needs all the help we can get," Fluttershy says as she turns on the lights.
Later that day, Fluttershy, Sun, and Rarity are at the animal shelter. Tree Hugger is out of town for a few days, so they'll be taking care of them while she's away. Rarity volunteers to give them a hand with animal care. They arrive at the shelter and put their backpacks on the desk.
After Sun takes the hamster to the habitat and closes the door behind her, Sun and the others leave the shelter and go home for the day. Sun is still a bit confused about Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash using transforming the way they do. They have only seen the wings once since the Fall Formal, and now two of her friend show magic within them. Sun brings up an important question in her mind, can there still be magic around since the Fall Formal?
With that, Rarity and Sun empty their bags so they can catch all the hamsters and return them to their habitat. Rarity manages to catch one, but Sun is not very successful. When Fluttershy empties her bag, she accidentally drops her tambourine by mistake. When the tambourine hits the floor and makes a rattling noise, the hamster becomes drawn to it, like they're hypnotized by the music.
Pinkie plays the drum and hits the cymbals. The girls start to laugh after hearing the drum roll. They sure have a fun show that Pinkie does, but Sun is starting to think of something. This is the third one that she sees what her friends do with magic. She is starting to think that the magic within might still be around. She thinks it will be a good idea to message Twilight after school today.
The last bang causes a lot of glitters to come out. There is so much glitter that Sun and Rainbow Dash are now covered in it. They both coughed out some of the glitters. They both look to see Pinkie has her head on the top of the glitter bottle. Rainbow makes an angry face at Pinkie.
As Pinkie mixes the bowl full of dough. She then throws them both in the air. However, their landing is kind of messy. Sun and Granny look a bit stunned to see what the dough bowls land on. It lands on Pinkie and Rainbow Dash's head. Rainbow grumbles in anger at Pinkie's idea of dough mixing.
Then Rainbow Dash says, "Well, most people don't know how hard it is to find someone who could use both hands the way a drummer does."
A few days later on a Monday, Pinkie and Sun are helping Granny Smith make some delicious cookies for the school lunch. Of course, after they are done, they need to help out with the decorating for the showcase, and to help Rainbow Dash. The two are in the cafeteria kitchen with Granny Smith listening for her direction.
In the music room, Pinkie plays the drum. She beats, drum, and tap on the drums, and cymbals. Sun and the others are amazed to see that Pinkie has everything Rainbow can ask for in a drummer. As Pinkie continues to play, she floats in the air as she glows pink and grows pony ears and a long tail. The others become astonished by the event. Pinkie spins around as she plays the drums hard and loud. Then ends it with a band. After playing the drums, Pinkie breathes as her tongue is out.
"Don't worry, Rainbow, we'll find another way to get these stalkers to stop, and not with physical violence," Rarity replies.
But Rarity says, "Now, Rainbow Dash, what you're saying is not very reassuring. It also won't help us figure out who has been following her."
"I think so. It's been happening for weeks now. When I go to the store, to school, or anywhere that involves leaving my house. But every time, I turn around no one was there, just people walking by or an empty sidewalk," Sun explains.
As Sun is still thinking about the magic that's been happening, she also stops to think about something else. Something has also been on her mind for quite sometimes now, but she's started to grow worried about it. The girls are also noticing it too.
"I have wrote to Twilight earlier during lunch after Pinkie's transformation. I just received it after school, and she said that she's a bit confused about it herself. She also explained that even though her crown was returned to Equestria, so of its magic must have remained here after the incident with Falling Star," Sun explains.
After taking Timber back to the stable and getting him something to eat. She and the others are inside and are going to have a very important talk. They remember that Sun needs to talk to them about something urgent.
"That about does it. Come on, boy, let's get you some nice hay and apples," Applejack says taking Timber back to his stable.
Just as they finished with their conversation, Sun comes back riding on Timber. She seems happy to be with Timber and viceversa. Sun gets off of him, and they both walk to Applejack and the others.
"Sun and Timber are getting along so well," Fluttershy says with a smile.
With that, Timber starts to run with Sun on his back. Applejack and the others can see those two are having a lot of fun together. They do have some questions about it, even though they know the answer.
Sometime later, Sun and the girls are in Applejack's backyard. Where an orchard of apples grows, animal houses are, and an arena for practice. Applejack is busy feeding her animals while Sun is having a wonderful with Timber the horse. After feeding the animals, She and the others can see Sun riding on Timber and having a wonderful time together.
She holds on to Timber's mane and says, "Let's go, boy."
Timber neighs in reply. From the sound of it, he seems pretty happy.
Then Sun asks, "What do you think, Timber?"
Applejack says, "Okay, Sun, looks like you're getting the hang of this."
After finishing their conversation, and are still unsure about the magic, they all have gone for the day. Sun is still feeling deep in thought about the transformation her friends have, and her mysterious stalkers from afar. Even though does remember that she uses magic herself in Equestria, she can tell that the magic her friends have might be different that Equestrian magic. She just has to continue to wait until a more magical transformation can happen, and she will make sure to write to Twilight about it as well.
Just then, Granny Smith comes along, and she is simply walking around. She then notices Applejack wearing the suit and playing the bass in the front store.
Applejack smiles upon hearing one of the brother's statements. She is positive that whatever the trade is she is going to get her bass back from the Flim Flam brothers. However, this kind of trade is not only unexpected but not very pleasing either.
"Then again, I suppose we could make some sort of trade?" Flim suggests.
"Thank you," Applejack says, as she takes the bass from Sun.
After getting the base, Applejack started to play it, and she is amazing at it. As she plays Sun and the others are excited to hear her play, while the Flim Flam Brothers are surprised. At the last strum of the bass, Applejack gains pony ears, and her hair extended into a braid. The sound of the bass sends a loud and strong wave across the store. It ends up making the two brothers shocked and their hair gets messed up. When she finishes playing, Sun and the others cheer from Applejack bass play. The two brothers are still stunned to see this.
Rainbow Dash gets into Flam's face, as she angrily says, "Of course, that's her real name!
Just then, two men appear in front of the girls. They're both twins, who have light yellow skin, green eyes, and red and white striped hair. They are both wearing the same shirt, blue and white striped vest, white pants, black ties, and straw hats with blue straps tied around them. One of the brothers has blue-white shoes, a red belt with a gold buckle, and a pin with an apple slice. The other one has a red mustache, red, white shoes, a black belt with a gold buckle, and a pin of an apple missing a slice.
After some time with Granny Smith and multiple times asking her, Granny Smith does remember but ends up with a bit of memory loss for the past few minutes. Applejack knows she is going to have to be more specific with her grandmother about the bass.
A few days later, on a Saturday afternoon, the girls are working on getting the band together for the showcase. It's also the day that Applejack's family is having a yard sale. Sun and the others are in front of Applejack's house and with she and are with her grandmother. Things for the band are going pretty well, however… there is one little problem.
For the rest of the afternoon, Sun and Twilight exchange their numbers and email addresses, and talked to each other more about their everyday lives. Of course, Sun doesn't think this Twilight is ready to learn about her original origins yet, but maybe someday. Later in the evening, Sun is back home, sitting on the bed with her Iriomote cat on her lap, as she is reading her book. She is glad to be officially friends with Twilight Sparkle from this world, even though she goes to different schools. She hopes she will be able to see her very soon, and possibly at CHS sometimes.
Twilight shows a surprised smile on her face and says, "I… I would love to. Thank you, Sun."
Twilight sighs sadly and says, "It's because I'm the smartest student at school, all of the teachers seem to like me, but the students don't seem to like it. Plus, I'm not like the students who always dream of winning or being the best. I care about doing the work and having fun with reading science, and other educational activities. I don't have any friends at all, except for my brother, sister-in-law, and my dog Spike."
Sun asks, "So, Twilight, what do you do for your spare time?"
After picking up the groceries, and a little walking in the area, Twilight and Sun are talking to each other in a cafe. They have been talking for some time now, and it's almost like they've been friends for a very long time. As they talk, they talk about their time and what they like to do.
Sun nods her head with a smile and says, "You might not remember me, but I've met you at Crystal Prep at a few events at your school. When I first met you, I accidentally bumped into you, and I helped you carry some stuff to your science class."
Just then, Twilight recognizes Sun and questionably asks, "Have I seen you before?"
The little dog calls Spike barks happily and runs to her owner. Sun sits up to see the little dog's owner. To her surprise, she can see… Twilight Sparkle. She is wearing a purple short-sleeved button-up short, with a dark purple vest, and a matching purple skirt with a magenta six-pointed star with five white six-pointed stars. At first, she thinks that the Twilight she met at the Fall Formal changed her outfit but seeing the large glasses and her hair in a bun, she can tell this is the same Twilight she has met back at Crystal Prep, during competition events.
As Sun is walking on the sidewalk in the city, she starts to hear a small yet familiar barking noise. From the looks of it, it sounds like a small dog. Her question is answered when she turns to see a small purple dog running towards her. Then the little pooch jumps at her.
During that time, Sun can find the stuff she needs for dinner tonight. Sun loves to go out around town with her cat and to help her father around. She also promises her sister to get a few things for her for a snack, and some stuff for her pranks. She may have some skeptics for her sister's prank but can see that these are pranks that everyone can enjoy.
On a nice Sunday afternoon, Sun is out doing some shopping while her dad is doing some agenda for the school week. She is also accompanied by her Iriomote cat, Nina who is inside her bag. Nina may be wild, but she loves to take a cat nap somewhere warm and comfy, and Sun's bags fit the bill. Sun looks around to find some items she needs for dinner and other needs.
"Because from now on, I'll be your friend too. We can exchange phone numbers and email addresses, and we can walk around the neighborhood with our pets Even though we go to different schools I would like to be in touch, sounds good," Sun explains with a smile.
After hearing Twilight's story, she feels sorry for her. She knows the feeling of not knowing about making friends at first. However, in Twilight's case, she doesn't have any friends at her school, except her family members and her dog.
With that, the boys are right on it. They start to carry the grand piano with Rarity in her pony form, and her new keytar. The girls have no clue on why she still wants to have something like that for a grand entrance. As they leave, Rarity plays the keys on her keytar with a smile on her face happy to get an instrument that is elegant, but also portable.
Pinkie passes the keytar to Rarity, and Rarity starts to play. As she presses the key, she is feeling astonished by the playing. She then starts to play it even more. Then she continues to play the key on the keytar, Rarity starts to glow, and then she grows white pony ears, and her hair gains a curly extended tail tied with a white headband with blue diamonds on it. The girls and the boys are amazed to see her play like that. Finishing the final verse, she slides to her knees on the grand guitar. After she is done, everyone cheers and compliments Rarity on her playing.
Just then, the doors slam open with Rarity on top of the piano with the boys pushing it, and announces with glee, "Ta-da!"
Just then, the boys stop to see the hallway is being blocked by a large group of students. They simply start pushing the grand piano through the crowd but pushing everyone out of the way.
The boys hear Rarity calling her and look to see her. Rarity adjusts her hair and her clothes so she will look amazing. Seeing her sparkling face, the boys cannot resist her. In other words, they are swift away by Rarity's beauty and charm. Later on, the boys are carrying the piano to the room, with Rarity sitting on top of it.
Three boys are digging up rocks in the schoolyard. They are known as the Diamond boys, Rover, Fido, and Spot. Since they are strong, they are the perfect people for Rarity to ask.
Sun has never felt this happy with showing off this kind of magic. She knows that someday she will return to Equestria, and see all the ponies she used to know. Until then she is going to continue living at Canterlot High and do what her life and heart will take her.
She then sees Lapis's old mansion and decides to head inside the house to Lapis' old room, where they first meet each other.
After getting her backpack with her things and letting Screwball watch Nina for a while, Sun leaves the house to go take a long walk. Later in the walk, Sun finds herself at Canterlot High School. Since it's a Saturday the school is closed, and no one is around the area. Sun then walks towards the Wondercolt Statue where the portal is. She knows the portal is closed, but misses living there since she remembers. She wonders what will happen if she comes back, or how far will her life take her living here and coming back to Equestria.
Hearing this, Screwball can understand why Sun is feeling, she's feeling a bit out of place. Even though she has great friends, a loving family, and a great place to live, this isn't the home she is born in. Sun just feeling a bit homesick.
Sun sighs and says, "I… I sometimes feel sad… about life, my family, and the home I left behind. Ever since I remember everything, sometimes feels out of place, especially since I was adopted. I sometimes miss my family, Princess Celestia, and my home in Equestria… and… and I can't help it?"
Hearing that statement, everyone else starts laughing. After having a good laugh, Sun, her sister, and the other Crusaders are having a bit of a lunch break. As the girls are eating, Sun is starting to feel a bit distracted. Sun is feeling a bit sad about something, something that's been bugging her for some time.
"Hi, Sun," Apple Bloom and the others say.
"Hey, sis," Screwball says.
Sun says, "Hi, girls."
After she finishes writing, Sun puts the book and pen back on the desk and relaxes on the bed. Nina walks next to her and meows for attention. Sun simply picks up Nina, and heads downstairs to see her sister and her friends, The Crusaders, and see how they are doing. While Sun and her friends are in a band together. Screwball along with her crusader friends are also in a band together. When she walks outside, she can see her friends just finished their song and are going to take a break.
As she writes, Sun says in her thoughts, "Dear Princess Twilight, how are things back in Equestria, and how are your friends and the princesses doing? Things have been going pretty well since Fall Formal, and very excited about the Musical Showcase. But there seems to be more magical transformation, and after some time we decided to call this pony up. I know it sounds strange, but Pinkie came up with the name, and it seems very accurate. Either way, all of my friends and I are doing fine here. But I still wonder what the magic remains here and not return to Equestria. I hope to hear from soon and have a good time like we are.
Your friend,
Sun"
A week later on a Saturday afternoon, Sun is in her room, simply lying down on her bed with her Iriomote cat, Nina by her side. As she is on the bed, Sun looks to see her journal, the same one she writes to Princess Twilight from time to time. She then thinks it will be a good idea to send a message and see what she is doing. She grabs the book and pen, sits down on her bed, turns the book to an empty page, and begins to write down her message.
"Okay, Pinkie, let's get going before Trixie and the Illusions show up," Applejack replies.
After they finish playing, the ears, tails, and wings disappear. They are glad to have the magic because it represents their friendship and their magic. They put their instruments away and know that they can play a song. Just then, the timer rings, knowing it's time for them to go on to their next rehearsal space.
With that, the girls start to play their music. Just then, each other the girls start to glow their special colors and pony up with their transformation. They feel the music and the magic flowing through them as they play.
"Aw, come on, gaining those wings are awesome, why would you want us to not use them," Rainbow whines and complains.
Fluttershy shyly says, "Um, maybe the reason why it's so important to keep the magic thing a secret is so that the magic won't cause any trouble if we can't control it."
Rainbow rolls her eyes with annoyance and says with sarcasm, "Yeah. I don't need to hear another one of her Great and Powerful Appearance."
The weekend has gone by, and it's a school day on a Monday afternoon. Sun and her friends have explained to each other about the last addition to the music and songs they are coming up with to play, mostly Rainbow Dash. All six of them are very excited that the showcase is coming up at the end of the week, and they want to get some more practice before the showcase this weekend.
The girls have their instruments packed and are heading to their next space for the day. They are very excited that the showcase is coming soon, and soon they will be playing for the whole school. As they leave, Sun is still wondering about the magic that has to appear within them, and if there will be more to come in the future. As long as Sun and her friends stick together, they can handle anything.
Agreeing to the idea, the girls grab their instruments and are getting in their position. Pinkie is sitting behind the rest of the group on her drums. Sun is in the middle between Rainbow Dash and Applejack.
