//------------------------------// // A New Day // Story: Life of Two Worlds // by Unanimous123 //------------------------------// Twilight woke up in a strange bed in her ruined Fall Formal gown. As soon as she realized she wasn’t a pony anymore, all of last night’s memories came back to her— her crown, Sunset turning into a monster, and her not being able to go back to Equestria. The last thing she remembered was being in Flash’s car, so he must have carried her here. Wait! He carried her? She blushed. The room she was in was simply made and contained a bed, a closet and a small basket, where Spike was sleeping. Twilight easily spotted her backpack and bag of clothes that were propped up against the wall. She pulled out a blue blouse and a purple skirt and changed into them. After changing, she nudged Spike. “Spike wake up,” she began shaking the puppy, “come on, Spike wake up!” “Fine, Twilight.” Spike groaned as he stretched and got up. “So Twilight, what’s your plan?” “Since I’ll be here for a while, I might as well enroll at Canterlot High and get a job. After all, I can’t hope stay at my friends’ houses forever. I have to be able to support myself.” “I knew you’d have it planned out,” Spike said as he walked behind Twilight, “I’m just surprised you don’t have a written list yet.” “I still have to figure out how to use these,” Twilight said as she motioned as she waved her hands towards Spike. Twilight approached the door, but didn't know how to open it. Spike suggested she push the handle down, Twilight nodded and tried and then the door opened. Twilight began walking around the house. Flash’s house was middle-sized and very clean. Twilight excitedly looked at the technology that was in the house, such as the computer and TV. There was so much she could learn in this world. Twilight continued analyzing every electronic in the house until she saw accidentally walked into Flash. “Good-morning Twilight. Um..what do you want for breakfast?” Twilight blushed slightly and nervously replied, “Whatever you normally have is fine.” Flash nodded and began to cook pancakes. Twilight sat down at a chair and watched intently as he poured the batter on a pan, flipped it, and placed on a plate. He repeated the process to make a pancake for himself. “Were your parents okay with me staying here last night?” Twilight asked as Flash set a plate in front of her. “My parents are both working overseas, so I guess they won’t mind,” Flash responded as he bit into the pancake. “Do you want to stay here tonight?” Twilight looked down at her plate, realizing that she had been here without his parents permission. What if they got mad at him for letting her stay? She didn’t want him to get into trouble. Finally she stuttered out “I-I don’t think so.” Flash winced, but he could tell Twilight was getting uncomfortable, so he changed the subject, “Are you going to enroll in Canterlot High?” “I guess I’m going to have to. I can’t just rely on you and my friends to take care of me. I need to get a job and at maybe even plan a career while I’m here.” Twilight said as she ripped her pancake in half and gave it to Spike. “Do you want more?” Flash asked concerned. Twilight was hungry, but she didn’t want Flash to do more for her so she replied, “No, I’m fine.” After breakfast, Flash cleared the table and Twilight headed back to the room she slept in to get her backpack. Spike, who was following her, jumped inside Twilight’s backpack before she could protest. “Spike, I’m not supposed to bring you to Canterlot High.” Twilight said as she tried in vain to shake her ‘dog’ out of her backpack. “But Twilight,” Spike protested, “Where are you going to leave me? You can't leave me here because your not coming back later.” Twilight stopped shaking Spike and pondered over what he said. After a minute of considering her options, Twilight reluctantly allowed Spike to remain in her backpack. Twilight walked back to the kitchen and waited for Flash. While she was waiting, Twilight went into learning mode and began to analyze the electronics that were used in the kitchen. Twilight was so engrossed in learning about the kitchen she didn’t notice Flash walk in until he was in front her. “Umm…Twilight,” Flash said as he waved his hand in front of her face, snapping her out of her stupor, “we have to get to school.” Flash led Twilight outside to his parked car. He held one door open and motioned for Twilight to sit down. Twilight took off her backpack sat inside and then placed her bag on her lap. Flash closed Twilight’s door and walked to the driver’s seat of the car. he put the keys in ignition, and started doing towards the school. During the whole ride, Twilight said nothing— she was to busy analyzing how the ‘car’ worked. It was true that she was in it yesterday, but then she was consumed by too much grief to notice much. As Twilight analyzed she went into learning mode just as she had in the kitchen. After parking the car in the school parking lot he opened Twilight’s door only to see that she was staring into oblivion just as she had in the kitchen. Suddenly Twilight’s backpack opened and Spike’s head popped out. Spike saw Twilight’s blank expression and knew she had gone into ‘learning mode’. Spike grabbed Twilight’s face and shook her. “Twilight snap out of it’” Spike said concerned. “Huh…” Twilight said seeing both Flash’s confused face and Spike’s concerned one, “why are you both staring at me.” “You went into your ‘learning mode’ Twilight,” Spike said as he went back inside the backpack, “I had to snap you out of it.” “Sorry about that.” Twilight said looking embarrassed as she stepped out of the car. “No harm done,” Flash said as a slight blush formed on his cheek. He looked at Twilight who was looking back at him. When their eyes met, both looked away blushing bright red. Twilight and Flash stood in the parking lot blushing and staring at each other until the warning bell rang. This snapped both of them from their trance and Twilight said she would see him later as she walked into the building. Twilight looked around in the almost empty hallway, most of the student had already gone to their respective classrooms, allowing Twilight to hear her footsteps echoing through the empty hallway. The fact that school was still open today despite the ruined entrance amazed Twilight. Principal Celestia is a lot like Princess Celestia they both never give up Twilight thought to herself as she headed toward Principal Celestia’s office. Taking a deep breath Twilight knocked on the door and entered. Twilight almost gasped when she saw all of the papers on Principal Celestia’s desk. Principal Celestia was tired from last night’s events, but her face lit up as she saw Twilight. “Twilight Sparkle what can I do for you?” “I-I’d like to enroll here,” Twilight replied as she nervously began to rub the back of her head. Principal Celestia felt honored— this girl was a Princess from another dimension and she wanted to enroll at her school. “Since your not from here we’ll have to make some fake papers” Principal Celestia said as she went on her computer and printed out a schedule and a map of the campus, “ but other than that you're all set.” Principal Celestia said as she handed Twilight the schedule and a school map.
