Lies and friends

I just watched cheerful as the "Western Town" scenario was teared to pieces by a raging group of students and teachers of Cape Navaus High.

I was trying not to laugh because that would ruin the surprise. Besides, I wanted to know how far they were willing to go.

When they finished, the result looked more like a ghost town, every single building destroyed. One of them asked "Now, what?" and I said "Come on, let's go back to the campus. We will prepare things for our trip to Hollywood."

Everyone agreeded, so we got on our cars, started the engines and, taking some minutes, we abandoned the desert, going back to the city.

________________________________

Arriving at our destination, I reunited with everyone, as they kept arguing about the problem with the "producers".

"Guys! Go home and prepare yourselves! We will meet at the campus!" Those were the words I could say, before they cheered and started doing as I mentioned.

One hour later...

Everyone was ready. I was ready.

We were at Cape Navaus High's doors talking about our plan against Hollywood, the fake movie producers and, possibly, every single scenario we would find.

A couple of minutes later, I saw those 6 anthro-ponies approaching to the campus. That was the moment I realized that John Radderson was, in fact, the leader of their group. But I still remembered the newspaper.

Her name was Twilight...

With everyone being quiet and looking at those 6, I simply walked towards them.

"Welcome to our group, girls! Or whatever you are..."

"What's happening here, Sarah?" asked Twilight.

"Well, it's a long story, but I can make it short," I said.

"Tell us, if ya don't mind." said Ashley.

________________________________

Sorry, I forgot to mention it earlier. Being enough time at the campus, I knew almost everyone, including Twilight and her friends. Basically, I knew a lot of names, so I didn't have any problem.

Anyways, coming back to the story...

"Let's just say we are going to destroy Hollywood," was my answer. Good one, because everyone at my side cheered.

"Destroy Hollywood? Why!?" exclaimed Pinkie.

"They tricked us!"

"They didn't want to do a movie with anthro-ponies!"

"They are traitors!"

Everyone kept saying things like those said earlier so they were so sure about it.

"Join us, and we will boicot them," I said.

So Twilight and her friends obviously tried to stop us.

"I don't think Hollywood did anything to any of you! It is Sarah who tricked you!" said Rainbow.

Well, the moment had arrived. They tried to convince everyone that it was all my fault, that I planned everything.

But they didn't want to believe it.

"Liars!"

"How can you say that!?"

"What if you are working as spies for the producers?"

It seemed that my group was winning. We just needed to say a few more things, then we would prepare the Hollywood's invasion...

Twilight and her friends didn't have anything else to say.

Well, some seconds later, I realized that thinking too much about my victory was my big mistake, because Twilight said something else.

"What if Sarah didn't came from Hollywood?"

That made everyone be quiet, and they looked at me, waiting for my reaction. Honestly, that comment was like a hard punch to my chest.

But I couldn't just let those fools convince my group about other different fact.

"Prove it!" I exclaimed, along with everyone else. They were too proud of their leader to let others defeat them.

"We will see where you come from... in your files," said Twilight.

"And fer that, we must look fer them in the principal's office," added Ashley.

"Well, good luck doing so! You cannot enter unless you have the keys!" I said, mocking them.

"IT IS OPENED!!"

What? Turning around, I saw Pinkie running across the now opened doors of Cape Navaus High!

How did she exactly get the campus' keys!? They were well hidden between everyone on my side! What happened didn't make any sense!!

I thought about all of that while I was running through the campus' halls along with my group, trying to stop Pinkie before she reached the principal's office.

But, when we arrived, it was too late.

Pinkie had already seen my files. So she approached, revealing its contents.

It had my name, age, some personality traits... like every single file on the campus.

And most importantly, where I came from...

The name of which surprised everyone inside the office.

Western Australia

________________________________

After that awful discovery, everyone was looking at me, some of them sad, others being concerned.

"It was true. They were right. I'm not a famous Hollywood star. I'm just another person studying at Cape Navaus High, here in Western Australia," I said.

"But why would you trick us so we could think it was someone else's fault?" asked a girl.

"I don't want to talk about it. It is really personal," I answered.

"It's ok, Sarah. We are listening."

I saw Twilight and her friends staring at me with a calm expression on their faces. It was like they confronted things similar to this moment.

So, gaining faith on myself, I told my story.

I explained them that what I did was an act of revenge because, some years ago, I had a friend who moved to Hollywood because he wanted to be a famous actor since he was small. But he didn't think about one thing: we could have been together all this time.

"I was just so jealous, because Shawn had a brilliant future ahead, but for me... nothing..."

When I finished, all I could see were worried faces everywhere. There was no one talking.

Twilight was the first to talk.

"All of us can help you, Sarah. We can be your friends."

"My... friends? Oh... I don't know what to say..." I answered.

"You can start without words..." said Twilight, preparing herself for a hug.

I gladly accepted it, hugging her. Soon, her friends also joined the hug, and everyone gave an applause.

That was the best day of my life...

After all came to an end, I said goodbye to my friends, and all of us went back to our homes.

It was nighttime, so I got myself a good dinner and I prepared to go to sleep.

Suddenly, I remembered about something: my therapist! I had to talk to him!

I sent him an e-mail. I told him everything that happened that day: the fake movie, the raging students, our big encounter with Twilight...

A few minutes later, I received his response.

"Oh, you befriended Twilight and her friends! It seems that your emotional problem has been solved in a very good way! Your case is something similar to this!"

And he added a document called "Starlight Glimmer".

Being a little confused about that, I clicked on it. Inside the document, there was a lot of information about that character.

But what surprised me was the photo. Starlight Glimmer was a pony!

Upon seeing the photo, my computer flashed with a strange light. While I couldn't see anything, I was having changes on my body!

Some seconds later, I opened my eyes and saw fur on my arms, my legs, my whole body! I looked for a mirror to see myself.

There was... an anthro-pony. Like Twilight and her friends. Like some of the people studying at the campus.

"Wow, this sure is a nice surprise!" I said, realizing that even my voice sounded like Starlight Glimmer.

Suddenly, I received another e-mail. It was my therapist.

"I almost forget about something. There's a link to my Youtube channel. It was the time to show you my secret."

There was the link. Clicking on it, I see the Youtube channel.

All of those things that were happening to me were strange, a bit confusing...

And amazing...
