> Canterlot High School > by Dot-Dot_Dot > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The first day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A pristine field is the lock of a dream that Aura Moon is in. Her short hair waving with the wind as she stands there unmoved and just watching to see if his mind will conjure anything up to inspire the dream. “Well well well. If it isn’t the weak version of me.” A person says as Aura looks around but doesn’t see anyone. “Who are you? And where are you!” Aura asks as she looks around. A figure that looks just like Aura appears infront of her. “I’m you. I’m what you could have been if you had just kept your mouth shut. Something stronger. Better. Like a god.” Moon says. “Whatever. I’m fine with who I am. I’m not trying to get kicked out of school for the third time. Providence won’t even take me. So you’ll have to do something to even spark a flame in my body. Especially something to make me return back to Her.” Aura says as her alarm goes off and she sits up in bed. “Four o’clock? Good enough. I guess I should get ready for school then.” Aura says as she gets out of the bed and walks over to her wardrobe and gets a new pair of clothes and walks towards the bathroom and takes a shower. Twenty minutes later she walks out of the bathroom. Aura grabs her bag and her duffel bag and throws them by the door. She sits on her bed and grabs her phone and earbuds and puts them in and starts listening to her music as she goes around the apartment cleaning up after last night. “Alright there. All clean. I gotta get outta here before I’m late.” Aura says as she grabs her bags and walks out of the apartment. Down the hall there’s a bit of commotion going on with a couple a people arguing. “I told you to check if you had the key!” The woman shouts at the man. “Well I did check and it was the wrong key!” The man shouts back. “Hey. What’s the problem here?” Aura asks as she approaches the couple. “He forgot his key and locked us out of the apartment and now we have to wait until seven to call a locksmith to get in.” The woman says. “Here. I know a little trick that’ll help you.” Aura says as she approaches the door and pulls a hair pin from her pocket and lock picks the door. “How did you?” The man asks. “Lots of practice back where I came from. Had to steal to survive. But it’s the way the world goes. And don’t worry. I don’t steal anymore so you won’t have to worry about me.” Aura says as she walks away. The man and woman thank her as she leaves. As Aura leaves the building she looks at the ring on her finger as it glows a yellowish white glow. “Heh. Celestia never fails to impress me with the artifacts that I steal. Hehe. She’s gotta be so mad.” Aura says to herself as she starts to walk to the school. “Luckily no one asked where I was from. Especially that Sunset Shimmer girl. Ohhh. How much I hate her. How she always stole the spotlight from me. What I did she always did better. Like a sister who was favored in the family. Luckily no one knows much about me.” Aura says aloud as she approaches the basket ball court and pulls a basketball out from her duffel bag. She sets her bags against the fence as she starts to practice for the basketball tryouts that’s going to happen in a few weeks. “She’s goes for the Half Court Shot!” Aura says as she shoots from half court and makes the shot. “And the crowd goes wild!” Aura says to herself as she pumps her arms into the air to give her imaginary crowd a sign of “Give it all!” “She goes for the dunk! Will she make it!?” Aura says as she runs towards the basket and jumps but doesn’t jump high enough as she misses but the ring glows and she appears back where she was before she went for the dunk. “What the? Is that what the ring does? That is awesome! I feel like a time manipulator! This is amazing!” Aura shouts as she claps to herself but she stops as she hears a door shut and she looks towards the parking lot to see Principal Celestia walking towards the court. “Aura Moon! You better have a good reason for being here at five in the morning!” Principal Celestia says in a deeply agitated tone as she approaches Aura. “I-I ummm. I wanted to practice.” Aura says nervously as she starts to step backwards. The principal stops and keeps the look of disappointment before bursting into laughter. “You should have seen the look on your face. You know you’re the only student that’s ever actually gotten nervous instead of just looking at me funny.” Celestia says with a slight chuckle. “What?” Aura says looking perplexed. “She’s just like her equestrian counterpart. Has an image to hold but is funny and caring if you get to know her.” Aura says to herself. “I mean you’re the only one who actually thought that. Since you’re new here and all of that. But I need you to come to my office with me so you can sign some paperwork since we couldn’t get to your parents.” Principal Celestia says as she starts to walk towards the doors to the school. Aura grabs her bags and follows her. As they enter the school Aura looks around in awe as she walks through the school and they eventually enter the office and Principal Celestia sits at her desk and pulls some papers out from a file cabinet and sets them on her desk. “Aura Moon. I have some questions to ask you if you don’t mind of course.” Principle Celestia says as she sits down at her desk. > The first day part 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Sure. Go ahead. I’m listening.” Aura says as Principal Celestia pulls two files out from a filing cabinet. She lays the folders on the desk. “Do you know who sunset shimmer is?” Principal Celestia asks in a serious demeanor. Aura stares at the folder before looking back to thee principal. “Why do you ask me this? What is it your trying to find out? My past? Where I came from? Because from what I sense that’s what you’re trying to do!” Aura says in an offended tone as she stands up to seem more intimidating. “Sit down Aura. And no. It’s just kind of how you just showed up a week ago. You see the thing is that you and Sunset shimmer just showed up. The point being is that we don’t have anything about you. No files. No tracing to anyone in town at all. You just showed up with a clean step. I’ve always had a thought but never really could have asked Sunset shimmer but I can ask you. Are you really human?” Principle Celestia asks curiously. Aura sits there hesitating to answer the question before letting out a sigh. “No. I’m not. And neither is Sunset Shimmer. We both aren’t from here. We’re from an alternate equestria where everyone is a pony. Well… mythical creatures. Your counterpart is an alicorn and the princess of equestria. As well as Vice-Principal Luna. Sunset left because she wanted to be a princess but couldn’t so she stole something but got caught and escape through a magical mirror. While I on the other hand stole to make a living.” Aura says as she messes with the ring on her finger. Principle Celestia nods. “But that’s only half of my question. Why are you here? What is your reason on why you left?” She asks. Aura sits there pondering before saying. “I… I stole a few artifacts from the princess but I was I highly wanted Pegasus in equestria. I stole a lot of stuff and I’m not proud of it. I was young and idiotic. The only thing I have left is this ring.” Aura says as she shows Principle Celestia the ring. “Well… Aura. I don’t know what to say… why did you steal? Surely it wasn’t for fun I hope?” Principle Celestia asks with a nervous chuckle. Aura puts the ring back on as she looks down towards the floor. “Oh… well. I don’t know what to say but I think we will end it here. School is going to start soon and you’ll be wanting to get to your classes early right? And here’s your schedule.” Principal Celestia says as she grabs a paper from Aura’s file and hands it to Aura, as Aura grabs the paper Principal Celestia takes the two files and puts them back into the filing cabinet. Aura stands up and grabs her bags and walks towards the door. “Thanks Principal Celestia.” Aura says as she opens the door. Just as she goes to step out Principal Celestia stops her. “You can call me Celestia, Aura.” Celestia says as she smiles softly. “Thanks… Celestia.” Aura says as she leaves the office and shuts the door behind her and she checks her phone. “Six o’clock?! Man… I was in there for a while. School starts in thirty minutes so I’ve got time.” Aura says as the ring starts to glow. Aura heads towards the front doors of the and sees someone familiar. “Is that… Sunset?” Aura says to herself as she clenches her fists. “I’m not going to get my revenge until we are in somewhere populated. Like the cafeteria.” Aura says to herself with a chuckle. The ring glows again and it catches Aura’s attention as the world turns a light blue and everything slows down around her. “What the… What’s happening?” Aura says as she looks around and sees someone behind her. A small child walking into a room. “Who are they?” Aura asks herself as she follows the children. As Aura follows she opens the door and she enters the auditorium. “Who is this kid?” Aura asks as she slowly walks behind the kid as she does she stops as she watches the kid climb onto the stage and bend down to grab something before getting caught in a rope and being hung by his feet. Aura approaches the boy and reaches out towards him. “Are you okay?” Aura asks looking worried but she doesn’t get an answer from the boy. “Hello?! Can you hear me?!” Aura asks looking more agitated. “I said answer me!” Aura shouts as she slams her foot against the ground and the world returns to normal and the boy looks shocked and scared to see Aura appear infront of him. “W-who are you?” The boy asks nervously. “I’m Aura Moon. Who are you kid?” Aura asks. “I-I’m Toby.” Toby responds with. “Toby? You’re not from here. Neither the other Equestria. You’re from somewhere far away.” Aura says to Toby as the auditorium doors swing open two kids. The same age as Toby walk in. “Like I said Silver Spoons. No one should care about what happens to this dweeb.” Diamond Tiara says as she looks to Toby and sees Aura cutting him free. “Hey! What are you doing!” Diamond Tiara shouts. “I’m helping this kid. Just because he’s different doesn’t mean he should be bullied. I should make fun of you and show you what’s he’s been through.” Aura says as she puts Toby to his feet. “Look kid. You don’t know me and I don’t know you. You’ve been through a lot and I’m proud of you for being so brave. Now remember. Don’t let anyone tell you who you should be. Sometimes violence is the answer and you will have to. there is those who words alone will not reach. I’ll be with you wherever you need me. See ya around kid.” Aura says as she hugs Toby and Toby hugs her back. As Aura breaks the hug she waves as the ring glows and she fades from sight. “Goodbye Aura.” Toby says with a shy wave as Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon stand there dumb founded. Aura turns and leaves the auditorium to see Sunset shimmer entering the school and Aura appears back into the school right behind Sunset. “Hello. Old Friend.” Aura says with an annoyed tone as she crosses her arms. > Part 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunset stops when she hears Aura. “Aura? Is that really you?” Sunset asks as she turns around. “Obviously it is. Do you remember everything that you did? I was going to be the best there was. Imagine my shock to see the undeniable proof to discover that no matter how hard I tried, I would never be able to catch you!” Aura says with venom. “What do you mean Aura? I looked up to you. You were the whole reason I wanted to be taught by Celestia! You were the only Pegasus to do magic! Celestia said that she’s never seen a Pegasus do magic in her entire life. Don’t you get it Aura? You were my idol. You were everything to me. Then when you disappeared I lost the motivation to learn.” Sunset says with sorrow. Aura stands there trying to process what Sunset said. “You looked up to me? You have to be joking right? You’re joking right?” Aura says with a slight nervous chuckle. “No I'm not Aura. I truly did. After you disappeared Celestia noticed an artifact missing. The Timeweaver ring.” Sunset says. “What did the ring do exactly?” Aura asks. “It allows the wearer to reverse their position by three seconds and it connects different timelines.” Sunset says. “So is that why I came across that boy Toby? Will I ever see him again or will I go to another timeline?” Aura says to herself. “Did you say something?” Sunset asks. Aura shakes her head and walks away as she looks at the ring. “Aura wait!” Sunset calls out. “What?” Aura says as she turns around. “I talked to your parents.” Sunset says as she walks towards Aura and puts her hand on her shoulder. “So? And why are you touching me? And how do you know my parents?” Aura says and she crosses her arms. “Celestia introduced me to your parents when you disappeared. Aura… your mother is dead. She died a few weeks ago. I tried to find you in both world but I couldn’t get a trace on you. You completely disappeared without a trace.” Sunset says as Aura’s face goes blank. “I want you to stop touching me. Now.” Aura says as she stands there without a single tone of emotion in her voice. “Aura please. You need to come back to equestria and see your father and the princesses.” Sunset says as she eyes around the area. “You… you dirty traitor! I knew to have my suspicions about you! It’s a trap!” Aura says as she slaps Sunsets hand off of her and she steps back. “Aura! I’m telling the truth! You have to! Your father is waiting!” Sunset says with sorrow. “My parents have been dead since I was born! I was raised by a griffin!” Aura shouts as she points towards sunset. Sunset stands there. Stuttering as she knows her plan is shattered. “You’re coming with me whether you want to or not. You’ve got a price to pay Aura. Either in your life or you turn yourself in.” Sunset says as she walks towards Aura. Aura looks around before looking at the ring and smiles menacingly. “You’ll have to catch me Sunset Dimmer.” Aura says as the ring glows and she disappears with a bright flash of light. “Where did she go?” Sunset asks herself as she looks around as she looks around she hears a voice from the air. “Find me and you’ll get what you want. But I’m not going down without a fight shimmer.” Aura says as the hallway goes silent. The school day goes by without a trace of Aura being heard or spotted the whole day. After school Sunset tells the main 6 that she has some errand to take care of and they insist that they can help her with it and she caves into the peer pressure and she allows them to help her. As they walk through canterlot Sunset sees someone standing in a field with their hair blowing in the wind. Sunset naturally walks towards the person and her friends follow her. “Hey! You!” Sunset shouts. The person turns around to reveal that it’s Aura as she turns around her hair has a sparkling blue color with a bright yellow accent. “So you finally found me. Well… I wanted you to find me. If I didn’t. We wouldn’t be having the conversation at all. And I see that you’ve brought your girlfriends with you. No matter. Well? Shall we get this fight over with?” Aura asks and she enters a combat stance. Sunset turns to her friends. “Like I told you girls. Aura is tough. I need to take her back to Princess Celestia back in equestria.” Sunset says to the others. “Are you kidding?! This girl won’t be able to lay a finger on me!” Rainbow Dash says in her cocky arrogant attitude and she runs towards Aura. “Rainbow Dash wait!” Sunset calls out to Rainbow dash but she doesn’t hear Sunset and she continues to sprint towards Aura. Aura smirks as she watches Rainbow dash run towards her. “I’ve got a little something up my sleeve to Sunset. This ring allows me to travel to different universes! Timelines! For me what is an hour is only a minute for you all! Seven hours is seven days for me! I’ve learned so many techniques! You cannot possibly beat me!” Aura shouts as she breaks the ground as she runs towards Rainbow Dash as Aura runs towards Rainbow Dash she grabs her jacket collar and trips her and Rainbow Dash goes skidding while skipping along the ground. “What’s wrong? Can you not keep up with my speed?!” Aura says as she runs towards Rainbow dash and just as Rainbow dash stands up Aura grabs her and throws her into the air. Rainbow yells out as she gets thrown up. Aura points her fingers like a gun towards Rainbow Dash as she charges up a shot that will surely kill her as Aura goes to shoot the shot she’s knocked unconscious by someone.
