“Okay, I’ll talk,” Purple Prose said, “I’ll give you the story and tell you about the people involved, but then you leave me alone, okay?” She asked.

“Alright, just go on,” Sunset said.

“Fine, I also won’t say their Stand abilities, because I don’t know most of them,” Prose continued to stall.

“Oh my gosh, just spill it now!” Blossom complained.

“Ugh, fine,” Prose replied, “The boss got me and the other guys and gals into an empty class room and she lined us up, then she pulled out a golden arrow head-looking thing, then we stepped up one by one and she gave us a little cut with the arrow and made us obey her by threatening us with a switch blade,” She told the story.

“We just wanted to know who was in on this, not what happened before your gang got together to kill us,” Rainbow said.

“Okay, I’ll get there already, why are you so impatient?” Prose was losing her temper at the interruptions, “I was in the group, obviously, and it’s how I got Ebony Eyes, there was also that wannabe magician, Trixie, her Stand is Autumn Carnival, that meat-head Bulk Biceps was chosen as well, and his power is Weird Science, some little shy girl called Coffee Beans got a Stand she called Cranberries, but nobody has any clue what it can do, and lastly, that hyperactive friend of yours, Pinkie what’s-her-face, got the Stand Mandatory Fun,” Prose finished giving away all her allies.

“What about your boss? Or Double Vision?” Sunset asked.

“The boss said she’d hurt me if I said anything about her, and Double wasn’t really in our group, he must’ve stolen the arrow, pricked himself and gotten that hunk of crud that he could just barely use right, I think it was called ‘Blue Eyed Hex’ or something,” Prose insulted her semi-ally, Double, “And even though he wasn’t one of us, he still got treated like one and the boss briefed us on what you bunch did to that sad nerd,” She continued.

“Alright girls, playtime is over, shut it with these ‘Stand’ things and get moving, you have homes to go back to, don’t you?” The teacher said, announcing that their detention time was over.

On the way out of the school, Sunset was thinking about what she had been told by Purple Prose, wondering which of those foes would attack them next, she was also in disbelief that Pinkie Pie would go to the evil side in this situation, she wasn’t even much of a fighter. The next Monday, the girls met at the cafeteria, and sat along with a girl in blue and yellow clothing with pink, fluffy hair and knee-high boots.

“Oh!” Pinkie said, happy to see her friends, “Hi there, I’m so glad to see you all! I have so many stories from the holiday times that I’ve been saving up, but you were all really busy, so I waited for a while to say it all,” She rambled for a while, “Anyways, who’s the new girl?”

All the girls simply stared at Pinkie with suspicious glares before Sunset spoke up, “This is Loving Blossom, she’s a new student,” Shimmer said.

“Why are you all so gloomy today?” Pinkie said, growing slightly uneasy.

“Maybe we’ll say, after you tell us what you’ve been up to,” Rainbow began, “What you’ve been up to here, at school, that is,” She said.

“You talk like I did anything wrong, what’s the problem,” Pinkie’s uneasiness turned to confusion, but the atmosphere was brightened by a grand entrance into the cafeteria, from a girl with blue and purple clothing, wearing a witch’s hat and a cape, both with a star pattern on them.

“Greetings, greetings to all the lesser versed students of Canterlot High!” The girl began to talk, and many students began to ignore her or rest their faces on their hands, as if in boredom or disappointment.

“Yay, it’s the ‘Gweat and Powewful Twixie’,” Rainbow mocked the girl who was dressed as a wizard.

“Yay indeed, my friend, it is I, the Great and Powerful Trixie!” She said, completely ignoring the rainbow girl’s insult.

“Does she does this all the time?” Blossom asked Sunset.

“Only when she wants attention or to let people know of a new show of hers, so, it happens often,” Sunset replied.

“For this afternoon only, come one, come all, to appreciate ‘Trixie’s Autumn Carnival’!” Trixie proudly announced, “All of you, lovely students, are invited to appear at my show and witness treacherous tricks, amazing acts, and superb… magic!” Trixie continued to speak, many people became interested, but they were a loud minority, as plenty of students continued to just eat or went away entirely.

“Isn’t Autumn Carnival the name of her Stand?” Fluttershy whispered into Sunset’s ear. It was when Trixie spoke up again that the magician girl’s plan became clear.

“You, Sunset Shimmer and gang, are guests of honor, so you better show up,” Trixie said. Rainbow wanted to get up and attack Trixie, but Sunset held her back.

“If we attack now, this won’t end well for any of us,” Sunset said, quietly, “We should probably go to the show and fight her then and there,” She suggested.

“I mean, I have better things to do later on,” Blossom said, Rainbow and Fluttershy nodded, also claiming that they also had plans later in the day.

“I can go with you, Sunny!” Pinkie said, much to Sunset’s dismay, but she was her only option if she wanted to defeat Trixie, as Pinkie also had a Stand ability, so, Sunset complied.

“Alright, you can help me, Pinkie,” Sunset had to admit and have Pinkie come along, despite the possibility that the pink, party-loving girl could betray Sunset at any moment in the upcoming battle. Trixie left the cafeteria, having nothing more to say, and later, all the other students went to class as well. After class, everyone heard Trixie’s voice through the intercom.

“All students interested in watching Trixie’s Autumn Carnival, proceed to the school’s gymnasium, especially Sunset Shimmer and friends, I’ll be awaiting you all patiently,”

“Very well, let’s go,” Sunset said, growing the confidence to go ahead and face Trixie and whatever her Stand had to offer.
