Friendship Games: Friendship Makes Magic

Prologue- Old Traditions, Old Faces

It was the crack of dawn and early in the morning. Most people were still in their beds and it would be hours until any school lessons starts. The only people who were out are early morning joggers and a very dedicated bus schedule. And on the outskirts of Canterlot High, one such bus was arriving at it's stop.

When the bus open it's doors, a fairly large group of teenagers come off the vehicle. 7 in total and they were wearing identity concealing hoodies and carrying a lot of stuff. Spray paint, a bizarre zebra face and other weird and mischievous tools. When the bus went away, the group trespass onto the school ground and heads straight to the school's statue.

Trying to act quickly and efficiently, they waste no time so none of them would get caught. When they got to the horse statue, they got on top of each other and began spraying it. First they spray as much of the area that they can in white then spray thin white black strips all across the body. When most of that was done, they then try to stick the zebra head on the statue's head. What once a proud looking stallion was now more looking like an undignify zebra from circus. But unfortunately (or fortunately), they were having trouble putting the head on and the height made the person who was putting it on very nervous.

When they notice the delay, one girl on the ground loudly whispers: "What taking so long?"

"Sorry. Having trouble putting this on dude" the person replied.

"Well hurry up. We don't have all morning... and don't call me dude."

And then, the girl notice one other person from their group was on the other side of the statue. They were inspecting the mirror that was on the statue and was using a strange hand held device to scan it. "Moondancer! What are you doing?" she loudly whispers.

Moondancer then says to her: "I'm detecting some bizarre energy from this side of the statue."

One girl then drop what they were doing (leaving one person dangling on the statue) and says: "What! is it dangerous!?"

"Shh! Somebody might hear us."

One other girl replies "Oh please. Who will be around to hear that?"

"How About Us!" Rainbow Dash yelled out.

Every one of them jumped when they heard the extra voice. When they look around, they notice 5 Canterlot girls were standing by the front door: Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle. Also there was Spike who was standing by Twilight's feet. They stood strong and angrily at the group who was defacing their statue.

One girl asked out loud: "How they heck did they know we were coming?"

One of them then flatly replies: "Well we always deface the statue every year. What make you think they would be prepared this time?"

Then another girl sarcastically says to her: "Well gee, that was really insightful. But do you want to know what would helpful right now. If we all RUN!"

As the Canterlot girls began running, the Crystal Prep group scramble and try to get away. The person who was on the statue had to jump down and stumble down to the ground. After stop colliding and bumping into the statue, every one of the them legged it into the street and the Canterlot students chased after them.

As they were running, Twilight says out loud to her friends: "I Can't Believe This! I Can't Believe That Crystal Prep Would Do This!"

Sunset explains: "We Told You Twilight! They Do This Every Year!"

"Enough Chit-Chat Yall! They're Splitting-Up!" Applejack shouted out.

Both groups split-up in order to avoid/catch the other. Tense action was happening in the streets as the chase action was spreading out across town. They Crystal Prep students had to do some sharp turn just as they were in arms reach of Rainbow Dash. As Rainbow would about to grab them, they turn and she was alone on the street. They just about mange to out run Applejack much to their frustration. For the two that Pinkie was chasing, they say out loud that they were turning left but turn right instead. When they turn right and Pinkie turn left, Pinkie ran herself into the wall.

And fortunately for the runners (and unfortunately for the chasers), buses arrive that allow them to escape. As soon as one or two of them get on, they yelled at the driver to drive and it drives off... leaving Rainbow, AJ and Pinkie in frustration.

The only C.P students who hadn't escape yet were two who was hiding out in an alleyway. Just outside of said alleyway was a bus stop that would take them back to Crystal Prep. One of them told the other to "Wait here" as they would check the bus schedule on the stop. As that person who was in the alleyway was reaching their limit, she heard barking sound behind her.

"Got You!"

When they look around, they saw the little purple dog standing their facing them. And when Spike is around, Twilight isn't that far behind. She arrives and confront the hooded figure.

"Stop! Don't Run!" Twilight yelled out.

The scene was tense as Twilight and the hooded teen was staring at each other. Conflicting emotions were also swirling around in Twilight. Unlike everybody else, Twilight originally studied at Crystal Prep before she transfer herself to CHS. She didn't had particularly pleasant time there but she still hold it in high regards. Discovering that C.P students were doing something like this, it was eating her at her heart inside of her. But for the hooded girl, they were also feeling some heavy weight on their heart.

"Twilight?" the hooded girl call out.

Twilight was taken back. She didn't expect them to call out her name. As she was wondering why she call her name, the girl let down her hoodie. When she saw who it was, Twilight became surprised.

"Moondancer!"

"Hey" Moondancer sheepishly reply, embarrassed by being caught like this.

Twilight was left stunned. She recall working with Moondancer plenty of time in the pass and remember having a pleasant time working with her. Out of all of the Crystal Prep, she is the one who she wouldn't mind working with the most. Distraught, Twilight got closer and ask her:

"Moondancer, why are you doing this? Why were defacing the school statue?"

Putting on a stern face, Moondancer replies: "I Wasn't! I just went along with the rest of them because I wanted to investigate the strange readings coming from your new school."

"What!"

Twilight didn't know what she meant. What readings? Does she mean magic? How can she detect magic and what would she gain from it. But as she was figuring this out in her head, a familiar voice call for her. "Twilight!" She looked and saw that it was Sunset running towards her.

"Are you ok?" Sunset asked as she arrived.

"Yeah, I was just..."

However, as Twilight look back at Moondancer, she saw that she has a shocked expression on her face. She was so shocked that it looked like she had seen a ghost. The expression was unsettling for both Twilight and Sunset but before either of them could ask, Moondancer ask instead:

"Twilight, who is she?"

They were perplexed but Sunset reply: "Me? I'm..."

But before she could finish, Moondancer partner ran back from the street. "Moondancer, The Bus Is Here! We Have To Go!" As she came in, soon notice Twilight and Sunset. However, when she realize it, she stopped when she saw Sunset. Like Moondancer, she was froze in place. "What The..."

Twilight and Sunset didn't know what was going on. Why were they freezing up? But when they found out why, they were even more shocked. The hooded figure pull down their hoodie... revealing another Sunset!

Everyone around couldn't believe what they were seeing. Two Sunset and they were looking right at each other. Aside from the clothes, they looked completely identical to each other. It was like they were twins or something. But as everyone was standing there awestruck, the bus on the street sounded it's horn. Snapping them out of their daze, Sunset (the one who was with Moondancer) grab Moondancer and heads to the bus. As Twilight and Sunset snapped out of their trance, they were about to chase after them again but they saw the bus driving off with them in it.

As Twilight and Sunset watch the bus driving off as the sun made the sky blue-er, they were left to process what happen... and what it could mean in the near future.

Opening


Everyone began making their way back to the school. They feel defeated that they didn't manage to catch any one of them who deface their statue and was feeling sorry with themselves. But since no one was at the school at the time, no one was able to notice a crack on the statue's mirror. A mirror... that was also a portal to a magical world and the crack was setting of some weird colours before stopping.
