The next day for the second event:
Sci Sunset is busy spying on her counterpart and her friends. She is wondering what the girls are up to. She notice that Fluttershy is heading to the bushes and decides to check it out.
Fluttershy looks around to see if anyone is around. She unzips her backpack and a gray kitten with green eyes comes out and give it a snuggle.
Just then Fluttershy gets a little surprised that Sci. Sunset comes out of the bush with her device.
She happily asks, "Do you want to give her a treat?"
Sci Sunset decide to put her research on hold and join Fluttershy and also decides to bring her pet out.
"Guess I'm not the only one who like smuggling their pet into school," Sci. Sunset replies as she is bringing Shine out.
"Well, not just one," Fluttershy corrects her as she is unzipping her bag. After she did that, a bird a bunny, and a hamster comes out of her bag.
Sci. Sunset didn't realize that she really loves animal.
Sci Sunset says,"Wow," surprised of the animals she sees. Then she pet her cat and says, "All I have is my little kitty Shine."
"She is so cute. Does she talk?" Fluttershy replies.
"Not that I know of," Sci. Sunset answers kind of confused.
Then Fluttershy says, "Congratulations on winning by the way, though it didn't seems that your time is not that excited about it."
"Well I guess because being the smartest has it drawbacks, but they start to get excited a little about one thing," Sci. Sunset answers explaining about this whole game event
"What's that?" Fluttershy asks confusedly.
"Knowing there are two Sunset Shimmers competing against each other," Sci. Sunset answers.
"I guess," Fluttershy says understanding her statement.
"By the way why did you climb up there to help the cat? You could have got hurt," Fluttershy asks in concern.
"Oh I just thought… that kitten needed help, but sometime Principal Cinch and Dean Chrysalis think I can be reckless when it comes to my safety," Sci. Sunset explains sadly.
"Here, hold this," Fluttershy says holding Angel towards her.
"Why?" Sci. Sunset asks curiously.
"Holding a bunny always make me feel better," Fluttershy says ask she gives Angel to Sunset.
Sunset doesn't understand how a bunny can make her feel better. "Well that's kind of silly," Sci. Sunset says rather confused. Until Angel rubs her head against her smile and says, "But it actually works."
Then Sci. Sunset realize something and asks Fluttershy, "Why are you being so nice to me? You're on the other team with that other Sunset and you lost."
"You look like you needed it," Fluttershy answers nicely.
Sunset realize that she is so kind that she would help her even if she does go to a different school. Then she happily says, "Thanks."
"No problem," Fluttershy replies happily.
Just then Fluttershy starts having a yellow glow and being lift up in the air. Then she grows pony ear, extended tail and pegasus wings.
This has Sci. Sunset surprised and amazed by what she is seeing right in front of her.
"Wow! How did you do that?" Sci. Sunset asks completely surprised.
Just then her device lift up, opens up, and collects the magic from Fluttershy. Then different portals starts to open up. Fluttershy and Sci. Sunset are scared and confused about what is happening. Sci. Sunset tries to close her device but it's having trouble budging.
"What's going on?" Fluttershy asks with a shock.
"I don't know. I think it's jammed or something," Sci. Sunset answers with a shock and trying to close her devise.
Just then a jackalope come out of one of the portals. Then decides to chase after it. They keep coming out from one portal to another.
Sci. Sunset and Fluttershy are getting very worried about this and Sci. Sunset is more scared of Shine's safety.
"Shine," Sci. Sunset calls.
Just then Shine accidentally gets into the magical energy and gets zap by it.
"Shine!" Sci. Sunset screams in worries. Just then she closes her device and portals are gone. Shine is able to land on Fluttershy and Fluttershy falls to the ground like she's going to faint.
"Fluttershy! Shine! Are you two okay?" Sci. Sunset asks in worries.
"I'm fine," Fluttershy answers weakly.
"I think so," Shine replies.
Sci Sunset is relieved. Until and Shine screams realizing that Shine can talk. She falls to the ground in a shock. Then decides to make a run for it back to the school.
"Sunset comeback," Shine screams chasing her Sunset back to the school. Leaving Fluttershy behind feeling tired and weak.
"Bye," Fluttershy quietly says, feeling weak and tired.
barges into the school running away from her cat and completely scared of her cat suddenly talk.
Shine calls, "Sunset! Come on! Wait for me!"
Sci. Sunset doesn't want to listen and keeps on running. Then she runs into a wall and turns to see her cat catches up with her.
Shine worriedly asks, "Why did you ran away like that?"
Sci. Sunset starts to get more nervous that her cat is asking the questions. Then she nervously says, "Oh I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the magical glowing girl, or the holes in space, or my talking cat."
"Yeah I know right," Shine replies.
Sci Sunset understand what she means by it. She also knows that even though she can talk now, she is still her sweet Shine.
Sci. Sunset get down to her level and asks, "Are you okay Shine? What happened? Where did you go?"
Then Shine answers, "Woah one question at a time.
"Sorry," Sci. Sunset says sheepishly.
Then Shine explains, "I'll I know is that I chased that strange rabbit across the holes and the next thing I knew I landed in Fluttershy's arms and I can talk. Though I don't understand why I couldn't before, it seems so easy."
Sci. Sunset starts to think about it and after some time she think she has an answer to this mystery. She explains, "I think your sudden communication had something to do with the strange energy, which I'm starting to believe is magic. Also that rabbit you saw is a jackalope."
"A jackalope? Magic? but I thought they are fake," Shine says surprisingly.
Sci. Sunset simply giggle and says, "Yeah I know.
Just then she hears someone calling her name, "Sunset." Sci. Sunset and Shine recognize that voice. It's Principal Cinch looking for her.
Sci Sunset gets scared when she hears her principal's voice calling her. She turns to her cat and scaredly says, "Shine you got to hide. If principal Cinch finds out about this, she'll freak."
"What are we gonna do?" Shine asks nervously.
Sci. Sunset tries to think of an idea and then she turns to a locker, opens it, and says, "In here."
Shine just simply hops in the locker and Sci Sunset close it before anyone can see her.
Principal Cinch comes up to Sci. Sunset and says, "Sunset who are you talking to?"
"Um… I was talking to myself. It's a habit," Sci. Sunset says nervously playing with her hair.
"Yes indeed," Principal Cinch says firmly.
Then Principal Cinch says, "Kind of a coincidence that the 6 students who are moving on to the next event are the same girls who are interested in you."
Sci. Sunset starts to think about it a little bit about what Principal Cinch said. Then Sci. sunset says, "I don't know about that, but it does seem kind of strange."
"Perhaps you should get to know them," Principal Cinch says.
Sci. Sunset starts to get confused and says, " But I thought you didn't want me to,"
Then Principal Cinch says, "Let's just say I'm keeping my bases checked. Who knows? Perhaps they will reveal to you the key to their upcoming success." Sci. Sunset looks surprised because her principal wants her to spy on the other Sunset and her friends, but feels she already got in love with them enough.
"I don't know. Spying doesn't seem very nice and to be honest..." Sci Sunset starts to explain about what she thinks about her principal's plan, but she's too worried to think of what will happen if Principal Cinch knows about magic.
"What?" Principal Cinch asks seriously.
Sci Sunset gets a bit nervous and then she says, "I think I'm getting to involve with them as it is."
"Really," Principal Cinch says confusedly.
"Yeah and If I told you, you might never believe me," Sci. Sunset adds.
Principal Cinch looks at her not very happy with her statement. Then she says, "Well the choice is up to you. It's not like your your academic goal is one on the like. Oh wait, it kind of does."
After Principal Cinch left. Sci. Sunset leans against the locker and drops herself to the ground and says, "Phew that was close."
Shine comes out of the locker and curiously asks, "Sunset why didn't you tell Principal Cinch about what you saw?"
"Oh I don't know, but imagine if I told Principal Cinch about magical girls transform with ponies ears, pony tails, and wings . Not to mention about magical energy with portals to a different world. She will think I'm crazy," Sci Sunset explains sounding completely freaked out.
"You got a point, but what is her problem about trying to win this competition," Shine replies.
Then Shine asks saldy, "What are you going to do about this?"
Sci. Sunset looks at Shine sadly and says, "I don't know Shine, but what I do know that I'm starting to create a problem at the Friendship Games and those 6 girls are involve in it."
Shine then says, "Yeah. How did this happened?"
Sci. sunset starts to think about how this incident happened, "Well I know that these girls have some strange energy within them and my device wasn't supposed to open portals."
Shine then looks at her owner and asks, "How did it happen?"
"It must have happened when I was with that other Sunset. After it collected the energy I dropped the device and I notice it sparked a bit," Sci. sunset explains, remembering what happened before the games started.
Shine take in what her owner said and suggests, "Maybe it malfunctioned."
Sci. sunset eyes widen realising that her spectrometer may have malfunction. The she upsetly says, "And now it will keep collecting any magical energy it detects and open more holes in space." Sci. Sunset then realize that there's only one thing to do, "I need to find a way to stop it before this thin causes more problem."
"Right," Shine replies agreeing with her owner.
Then Shine says with annoyance, "But still Principal Cinch can be mean sometimes."
"Don't worry Shine. I'm sure after the Friendship Games she will calm down and... not be so demanding to win," Sci. Sunset says, but feels a bit better now.
Then Sci. Sunset gives her cat a hug and they both are determine to figure out this magical problem and find a way to stop it.
