//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: Plans for the Crown // Story: Sun's Equestira Girls Adventure // by Pinkie Pie Sweets //------------------------------// Later on, Sun has practically show Twilight most of the school so she's able to walk around on her own. Twilight notice that the students at Sun's school are wearing strange clothes and have strange hair styles that are different from her own. Twilight is very glad that Sun is willing to help her out. But then, Twilight remember what Princess Celestia have asked her. She thinks now will be a good time to ask Sun about her memories. But before Twilight can asks, she and Sun hear a familiar voice nervously says, "Oh, I'm so sorry. We just found it and I suggest she'd give it to her." "That's Fluttershy's voice," Sun replies. "Fluttershy!" Twilight surprisingly says in her thoughts. Sun, Twilight, and Spike look over the corner of the hall to see what's going on. From the looks of it, there seems to be a bullying problem going on, and Sun's friend is the one being bullied. "We didn't know you dropped it," Fluttershy scaredly says. "Well I did and I was about to get it until you and your friend pick it up and and ruined everything. You shouldn't pick thing that don't belong to you," a girl says, who sounds very angry. Twilight is shocked to see that the girl is being picked on looks exactly like Fluttershy. Twilight and Sun can tell that Fluttershy looks very scared and that the other girl is giving her a hard time. "Well, um, we didn't know," Fluttershy quietly replies. Just then the other girl shoves Fluttershy back to the locker and angrily says, "Excuse me!" "Uh, nothing," Fluttershy scaredly says as her knees is giving out from under her. Sun and Twilight are not liking the way that girl is treating Sun's friend like that. Sun knows how scared she gets when someone is ganging up on her. Twilight can tell that this girl reminds her of Fluttershy and not liking this bullying at all. Spike simply growls at the scene and not like the girl either. One thing they all know, they need to do something. Just then the other girl ends up saying something to Fluttershy that is not cool and is beyond the line of bullying. The girls says, "That's right. That crown your friend grabbed belongs to me and you will soon know it. You are really pathetic, I don't know why she would want to be friends with you." After hearing this, Sun has just about had it with this girl on how she's bring her friend down to her knees. What that girl said about her being friend Fluttershy is going too far. Fluttershy is feeling so scared and upset that she brings her head to her knees and about ready to cry. Sun steps out of hiding and angrily screams, "How dare you speak to my friend that way?!" The girl hears Sun's angry tone and is not going let this go very easily The girl turns around as she reveal her face and says, "What did you says?!" "She said, 'how dare you speak to her friend that way!'" Twilight says standing next to Sun. Sun and Twilight have a clear look at the girl who is acting like a bully. The girl has light peach skin, black hair with a pink streak on it, and light blue eyes. She is wearing a dark blue shirt with a shooting star falling from the sky on it, blue jeans, black shoes with white laces and a jacket. What Twilight and Sun are about to know is that the girl is Falling Star, the one that stole Princess Twilight's Crown. "Oh and you have another friend to add to your so call collection," the mysterious girl mocks. Sun gets up on her face with anger and says, "Listen, I don't know who you are, but you have no right to talk like that towards Fluttershy." "Oh really?" The girl asks, with anger. "Yes. And you should try to be nicer when you ask her about something," Twilight says. "Yeah. Who are you anyway?" Sun replies. The girl simple makes a smirk on her face and says, "The name's Falling star, and I personally advise that you don't get in my way. I can speak to anyone anyway I want." After that, the girl known as Falling star walks down the hall with a evil smile on her face. Leaving Sun and the others to stay in the halls. Sun and Twilight starts to remember about Fluttershy and rush to see if she's okay. Fluttershy is still sitting on the floor and have some tears coming out of her eyes. Sun hugs Fluttershy with one arm and asks with concern, "You okay, Fluttershy?" "Yes. Thank you," Fluttershy says while wiping a tear from her eye. Then Twilight asks with concern, "Are you alright?" "I'm fine," Fluttershy quietly answers. "Are you sure? That Falling Star girl gave a pretty hard time," Sun asks with concern and looking angry at Falling Star. Just then Twilight remember the name before and realizes who the girl's identity is. She's the unicorn mare that stole her crown and has it sent to this world. She's also the one that has a history of having a rivalry with Sunset Shimmer who is Sun. One thing Twilight knows, this isn't going to be the last time she will see her. Sun turns to Twilight and notice she is looking where Falling Star has been confronted. "Twilight, are you okay?" Sun asks. Twilight turns to Sun and Fluttershy, and answers, "I'm okay." "Do you… know her?" Fluttershy quietly asks. "Sort of," Twilight answers sounding concern. Just then Sun realizes something important and sys, "Oh, that's right!" She helps Fluttershy get up aftering being cornered and says, "Fluttershy, this is my new friend, Twilight Sparkle. Twilight, this is Fluttershy, one of my best friends." "Um hello," Fluttershy quietly says with a small smile on her face and trying to hide her face behind her hair. "Hi," Twilight says while waving. Then she questionably says, "You know, it sounds like you said her name is Fluttershy, but how could…" Twilight is still kind of shocked to hear that the girl is Fluttershy, but with a different body. As Fluttershy is feeling shy, she then notice Spike next to Twilight. Just then she gets over her shyness and happily screams in her quiet voice, "Oh my goodness, who is this sweet little guy?!" The next thing Sun and Twilight know it, Fluttershy has rushed over to see the small dog. In fact, she almost knock over Twilight over. Twilight regains her balance and answers, "That's Spike. My… dog," "Oh, you are so cute!" Fluttershy says while scratching his head. She then pulls out a dog biscuit from her bag and present it to Spike, offering him one. "Come on eat up little pup," Fluttershy says offering Spike a treat. Spike take a bit out of it and it taste delicious to him. He then eat the rest of the treat from Fluttershy's hand. Fluttershy picks up Spike and start to scratch under his ear. SpiKe starts to feel relaxed and wags his small tail happily. Twilight and Sun smiles over seeing how Fluttershy and Spike are getting along easily. Sun giggles and says, "You have to excuse Fluttershy, she really loves animals." "I've noticed," Twilight replies with a smile. Fluttershy pats the little dog on his head as she happily says, "Oh, wouldn't you give anything to know what you really thinking." "He usually just tell me," Twilight says. Fluttershy looks at Twilight with a confused look and asks, "Uh, what do you mean?" Spike tries to get Twilight's attention, trying to not let them know spike can actually talk. Spike then starts to bark and smiles at Fluttershy and Sun looking a bit nervous. Then Twilight nervously says, "Nevermind." "I'm sure Twilight means that she and Spike have their own way of communicating with each other, just like with our pets," Sun explains. "That make sense," Fluttershy replies with a smile.. Sun starts to laugh and says, "Try not to say it with my dad and sister are around" "Right. They both alway say…" Fluttershy replies. Then Sun and Fluttershy happily says, "There's no fun in making sense." Sun and Fluttershy start to laugh about the statement and remember her dad and sister telling them that a lot. Twilight and Spike are a bit confused on what the two friends are saying. They remember that this is something Discord would say. Sun then turns to Twilight and asks, "So Twilight, what you want to do?" "Well, I kind of want to ask you something," Twilight replies. "What is it?" Fluttershy asks. "Falling Star said you two picked up a crown, and she said it belonged to her. What kind of crown is it anyway?" Twilight explains. Fluttershy starts to think about the crown description and answers, "Well, the crown seems to be about this big and and has a light gold color and swirls on it." "And it has a six pointed magenta star gem in the middle," Sun adds. "How come you want to know?" Fluttershy asks. "Just wondering. Do you two still have it?" Twilight replies. Sun and Fluttershy shakes their head. Twilight can see that they both don't have the crown anymore. Then Twilight asks, "But you both know what happened to it?" Fluttershy and Sun nods their heads meaning they know where the crown is now. Then Fluttershy explains, "This morning, I was passing out fliers for the animal shelter like I do every Wednesday." "I came up to Fluttershy so I can check on the progress, but I was so tired from a dream that a fell on her by accident," Sun adds to the explanation. Then Fluttershy, "And I dropped the fliers." "You both work there?" Twilight asks. "In a way, we're volunteers. Helping take care of the animals and finding good homes for them. We been doing a good job on helping animals find home, but so good getting more volunteers," Fluttershy explains. Twilight scratches her head and says, "Interesting. So how did you two found the crown?" "More like it found us," Sun answers. "Huh?" Twilight questionably replies. "Long story short, the crown hit my head out of nowhere and we didn't know where it came from," Sun says while she rubs her head. Judging by the position of where Sun is rubbing her head, Twilight can tell that her crown has hit Sun on the back of the head. She suspect it must have happened when Falling Star drops it and flings into the portal. Then Fluttershy puts Spike down, and adds to the explanation, "But we didn't what anything to happen to it and since we need a new crown for our event, I suggest that we give it to Principal Celestia." After hearing the name Twilight's questionably says, "Principal Celestia? She's the ruler here." Sun starts to laugh and says, "Ruler! You know, I made the same mistake once." "You did?" Twilight surprisingly asks. "Yeah. While it was the beginning of the school year I kind of accidentally called Principal Celestia, Princess Celestia," Sun answers. "You did?" Twilight asks looking curious. Sun giggle a bit and says, "Yeah. I think I made her feel a bit embarrassed." "Wow!" Twilight says looking surprised. "Well, she my not be a princess, but she and Vice Principal Luna are in charge of the school and make the rule," Fluttershy replies. "Where is she now?" Twilight asks. "She might be in her office at this time," Sun answers to Twilight's question. "It's in the third door on the left," Fluttershy add. "Thank you," Twilight says. After hearing where the office is, Twilight and Spike start to make their way towards the principal's office. But Fluttershy stops them in her tracks saying, "Oh wait!" Twilight and Spike turns to Fluttershy aftering she wants them to wait for something. They are wondering what else they need to know before going anywhere. "You're not really supposed to have pets on school ground," Fluttershy explains. Then she says, "Might wanna tuck him in your backpack, that's what I do." Fluttershy's backpack zips open and small animals come out of her back. There are rabbit, Angel, a cat, a hamster, and a bird. Fluttershy sits on the floor so she can be with them and the bird lands on her head. "I'm surprised Principal Celestia hadn't caught her yet, but I'm kind of on the same boat as her," Sun replies as she takes her backpack from her back.. "What do you mean?" Twilight asks. Sun zips her backpack open and her little iriomote wild cat stick her head out of her backpack. The small cat replies, "Meow." Twilight gasps with a surprise and says, "You have an iriomote wild cat in your backpack. "Yep. Twilight, this is my iriomote wild cat, Nina. Nina, this my new friend, Twilight," Sun says as she pats her cat's head. "You have a wild cat for a pet!" Twilight says with a shock. Sun giggles a bit and says, "Yeah. Long story." "Still, they just get so lonely while we're at school all day," Fluttershy replies. Twilight Runs to Fluttershy and says, "Okay. Thanks for the help." "No problem. I better get going, are you sure you're able to go around on your own?" Sun asks. "Don't worry, I'll be fine," Twilight answers, sounding confident. Twilight opens her backpack and Spike jumps into the bag. She then puts on her backpack and decides to head to Princess Celestia's office. Just then the bell rings, Sun and Fluttershy knows what it means. Fluttershy surprisingly says, "Oh no! We're going to be late!" Fluttershy puts her animal friends back in her backpack, while Sun tells her cat to go back in the bag for class. As Sun and Fluttershy leaves for class, they turns to Twilight as they run and say, "Bye!" "Bye," Twilight says while leaving to the principal's office. After saying their goodbyes, Twilight, Sun and Fluttershy go their separate ways to do what they need to do. Now that Twilight knows what has happen to her crown, she need to go th see Principal Celestia to talk to her about it. After a few minutes, Twilight is able to find the door to Principal Celestia's office. Since Sun has told her about she's not a princess, but knows she's in charge of the school. So she needs to make sure she is polite with her. Twilight knocks on the door of the office to see if she's there. She hears a familiar voice saying, "Come in." Twilight opens the door and walks into the office. Twilight walks into the office normally and can see that the principal is reading some papers. "How may I help you?" Principal Celestia asks. Twilight and Spike are not sure about this Celestia. Twilight puts her backpack on the ground and hoping to talk to this Celestia. But Twilight nervously says, "Well, um, off." She feels kind of nervous and unsure about about talking to this Celestia. Principal Celestia can see that she is looking skeptic, and a bit confused of her not talking right away. Twilight shakes herself back to reality and says, "My name is Twilight. I'm new here, and… I understand that Fluttershy and Sun found a crown this morning and gave it to you." "Yes. I had my sister put the crown somewhere for safekeeping. It's a good thing they were able to find a new one in that short amount of time." Principal Celestia answers while putting some paper work in a draw. Then she says, "No idea how it ended up on the front lawn." She then closes the draw after finishing reading the paper work. She then turns to Twilight asks, "Were you interested in running for Princess of the Fall Formal this year." "Uh no, not exactly. The truth is… Well, the truth is, I… you see... The crown is actually…" Twilight nervous says, trying to explain to her about the crown, but stops when she mentions something. Twilight turn to Principal Celestia and asks, "Princess of the Fall Formal?" "It's Canterlot High's big fall dance," Principal Celestia says while marking her calendar. "Like the Grand Galloping Gala?" Twilight replies with excitement. Principal Celestia turns to Twilight with a confused look and questionably says, "Uh, Grand Galloping Gala?" Twilight realizes her mistake and quickly says, "Oh, uh, it was a big deal at my old school." "And was there a princess?" Principal Celestia asks. "Yes, but she wasn't exactly a student," Twilight replies sounding unsure about it. "Here at Canterlot High, the students select one of their peers to represent the. She receives the crown at the fall formal," Principal Celestia explains. As Principal Celestia explains, Twilight turns to see some pictures of previous crowned princesses of their school dances. Twilight can see that Sun has won them a few times and another picture of Rarity wearing the crown in one and Sun, Fluttershy, and something else Twilight notices about hat photo. Seeing the photo, Sun and her friends reminds her of herself along with her friends. She can see that Sun is very happy to have friend like them Twilight then realizes that she may have to win her crown. It will also give her some time to be with Sun and find out who she really is. Twilight then grabs her backpack and start to leave the office and go explore the school. As she leave the office, Twilight turns to Principal Celestia asks, "You asked if I was interested in running for Princess. Can anyone run?" "Yes. You just need to let the head of the Fall Formal Planning Committee know you'd like to be on the ballot," Principal Celestia answers. Then she asks, "What there anything else?" "Uh, no, that was it," Twilight answers. "Well if you do need anything else, my door is always open," Principal Celestia replies. She then closes the door behind her. Twilight and Spike can see that this Celestia is kinda different than the Celestia than she knows. As Twilight walk down the halls, Spike sticks his head out of the backpack and asks, "Twilight, why didn't you tell her or Fluttershy and Sun the crown was yours and ask for it back? Twilight starts to feel a bit unsure and says, "Well, I was going to, but imagine if one of them showed up in Equestria saying they came from a place filled with tall mushy two-legged creature with these, we'd think they were crazy!" Spike can understands it and says, "Hmm. you make a good point," Then Twilight announces, "Looks like if I want my crown back, I'll have to become Princess of the Canterlot High Fall Formal. So that's what I'm gonna do!" "And how exactly do you plan on doing that?" Spike asks looking confused. Twilight smiles fades and says, "I have no idea." Twilight has no clue about this school and all the students. She doesn't even know who is the head of the fall Formal planning committee is or where to find them. Just then Twilight happily says, "But I know who does." Just then, the bell rings and she's ends up being surrounded by students all over again. She knows that it's going to be a challenge. She needs to find away to win back her crown at the fall formal and it's going to be on the same day the portal closes. Twilight knows the one who can help her and it will help get close to her and learn more about Sun and her friends.
