In her lab, Twilight is getting all of her things together to leave for Canterlot High for the Friendship Games. Twilight still feels a bit unsure about doing it, but doesn't have much a choice. When Twilight grabs her jacket, Spike grabs the other end and starts pulling it.
Twilight pulls it back as she says, "Come on Spike, you know I was always going to go to Canterlot High for the Friendship Games."
Twilight manages to pull her jacket and puts it in her backpack.
"The only difference now is that I had to compete. Besides, It's not like Principal Cinch is giving me much of a choice," Twilight adds.
Spike then gets on the desk, and grabs hold of a picture frame. The little dog then brings the photo to Twilight. Spike puts the picture on the ground so Twilight can see it. Twilight looks to see a picture of herself with Spike along with Sun and her wildcat.
Twilight realizes what Spike is doing, and scaredly says, "Oh no Spike, I… I can't let Sun know about this. She already has her own stuff for the games to worry about. I don't want to bother her with my own problem."
Spike whimpers hearing this.
"I know Spike, I don't like it either. I won't be able to gather much data as I wanted to," Twilight replies rubbing Spike on the head.
Twilight then grabs her device and look at it wondering what to do. She then has an idea.
"But I think I can get some," Twilight says, putting on the device around her neck.
After getting everything ready, she then start to make her leave to the bus. Spike barks happily getting Twilight's attention,
Twilight lifts Spike into her arms as she happily says, "Oh Spike, I wouldn't leave you behind. Sun is really looking forward to seeing you."
"Just problem to be quiet, and try not to shed," Twilight adds putting Spike in her backpack.
After zipping her backpack and puts it on, she then leaves her lab, and make her way to the bus. Outside of the school, students are already lining up to get on the bus. Twilight makes her way see two buses, but not sure which way to go. She sees Dean Cadence and decides to asks, but is not aware that she is getting in front of the other students who are waiting to get in.
When she comes to Dean Cadence, Twilight asks,"Dean Cadance, I'm not really sure where to go."
"One second, Twilight," Cadence replies, looking at the clipboard.
One of the students, Sour Sweet, angrily grumbles, "You could try the end of the line!"
Twilight turns around, and asks, "What did you say?"
"Just that someone as smart as you should definitely go first," Sour Sweet sweetly answers with sarcasm.
Twilight realizes her mistake sadly says, "I... I didn't mean to. I was just asking."
"This is the right bus, Twilight. Go ahead," Dean Cadence happily replies.
"But... I didn't mean to cut in front," Twilight quietly says, feeling bad.
"Well, it's too late now," Sour Sweet quiet says with a sour attitude.
Twilight feels bad about what happened, but continues to make her way inside the bus.
When she enters the bus, another female student, Indigo Zap shouts on the top of her lungs, "Are we gonna win?!"
"I... I don't know," Twilight nervously replies.
"Wrong answer! Try again!" Indigo loudly replies.
Then she shouts in Twilight's face "Are we gonna win?!"
"Um... I guess? I-It's just... I mean... I heard that CHS is doing well now. With their reputation. And, I mean, it's not better than ours, of course. But we can't let them do it, you know? Win, I mean? Right?" Twilight says, feeling nervous and stuttering a bit.
The students who are on the bus start staring at her after her speech. Indigo makes a strange look on her face.
Twilight hears the driver saying, "You're gonna have to take a seat!"
Twilight then start to walk down the aisle to take her seat. The problem is that some of the students don't want Twilight to sit next to them. Twilight find herself sitting at the back seat of the bus. She then sees another student and classmate of her's Sugarcoat.
Twilight smiles, and says, "Hi, Sugarcoat."
"That was a really bad speech. You should consider not speaking in public," Sugarcoat bluntly replies.
Twilight becomes saden again after hearing it. She then opens her backpack to see her little dog Spike inside.
She pets Spike as she quietly says, "Well, Spike, at least I've got you with me. And I'm sure will be glad to see us, and I can't wait to meet her friends."
Spike likes being petted and Twilight is glad to have Spike with her. Just then, Spike whimpers to hear a loud music. Twilight turns to see another female student, Lemon Zest is listening to loud music with her headphones.
She turns to Twilight and loudly screams, "Dude, you have gotta hear this!"
Lemon Zest then puts the headphones on Twilight. The loud music is making Twilight feel uneasy feeling like her ears are going to pop. The bus then drive away from the school with all the students to Canterlot High for the Friendship Games.
Back at Canterlot High, the student and teacher of the school are minding their own business and some are getting things ready for Crystal Prep's arrival. In the music room, Sun and all of their friends and practicing their band playing. Falling Star, and Sun's little brother and sister are sitting watching them play. When they finish playing, the girls change back from their pony up form.
"I really hope the Friendship Games have a music competition, because we would totally rock it!" Rainbow shouts with excitement, strumming her guitar.
"Yeah, if they don't mind us ponying up when we play," Aria bluntly replies, making Rainbow glare at her.
"And we're trying to keep magic out of the games, remember," Sun adds.
Rarity put some makeup on herself as she says, "Oh I don't think we have that much to worry about, I'm sure magic works whether you want in Equestria."
"But this isn't Equestria, and from Sun's been telling me, magic seems to work different here," Falling Star replies.
"You can say that again, and I'm still wonderin about what happened at the rally yesterday," Sun says.
"Well, when it comes to magic, I'm sure you, Falling Star, and the Dazzlings will figure it out," Applejack says with a reassuring smile.
"And while you girls work on keeping magic out of the games, Adagio and I have been working on what to put in," Rarity says with a smile.
Then Adagio says, "And trust me when I say that Rarity and I have come up with wonderful ideas for the games."
"What do you mean?" Fluttershy and Sonata ask.
"Rarity, what did you and Adagio go and do?" Applejack asks suspiciously.
Just then racks of different kind of outfits have appear in the room.
Rarity explains, "Week, Adagio and I had a little work on our hands…"
"And since we don't know what the Friendship Games' events are…" Adagio adds.
"We made a few options for uniforms," Rarity adds with glee, she then puts a soccer uniform on Rainbow Dash.
"You both really didn't have to do that," Rainbow replies looking skeptic."
"I know," Rarity replies.
"No you really didn't have to do that," Applejack adds looking blizzard at all the options.
"I know!" Rarity happily squeals, and giggles after words.
FallingStar looks at the clothes options as she says, "These outfits look amazing. Thinks we can try them on too?"
"I want to try!" Rocky shouts.
"Me too," Sunshine replies.
With that, the girls then start to try out the uniform and other clothes that are on the racks. Outside at the front of the school, the buses of Crystal Prep arrive at the school. Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna, Discord, and Sun's parents, older brother and sister are at the front of the school to help the students get settled in.
"Vice Principal Luna and our chaperones can help your students get settled if you'd like me to show you around, Principal Cinch. There have been quite a few changes since your last visit," Principal Celestia says.
"Oh, yes, Principal Celestia. I'm sure that would be fascinating," Principal Cinch replies.
Just then Principal Cinch has been dragged and is hold by Discord's head lock.
Discord give Principal Cinch a noogie with a smile, and says, "Hey Abby, it's nice to see you again. Howe you been doing at your highly educated and boring school."
Discord then let's Principal Cinch go with a smile on his face. Principal Cinch tires to remain calm as she fixes her hair and adjusting her glasses.
She then firmly says, "Nice to see you again Discord. And please, don't call me Abby in front of the students."
"Aw don't be so down in the dumps, you and your students are here to have a wonderful time with our. So come one, Celestia and I will give you the tour of the school," Discord says, then walks away to start the tour leaving Principal Celestia and Principal Cinch behind.
Principal cinch says to Celestia," Sometime I wonder how your best student is able to live with him and his daughter and not have their influence rubbed off."
"I believe it's because that's who isn't Sun is. Besides, Sun has her own unique qualities," Principal Celestia answers.
After that discussion, Principal Cinch and Principal Celestia follow Discord for the tour of the school. Meanwhile Dream Cadence, Shining Armor, Vice Principal Luna, and the students remain at the bus.
"Oh, it's always such a pleasure to see you, Dean Cadence and Shining Armor." Vice Principal Luna says with a smile.
She then firmly says, "Even if it means another defeat."
Cadence smiles, and says, "Thank you, Vice Principal Luna, but I hear it's not going to be so easy this time."
Then Luna says, "I understand that you two are going to have your first baby soon."
"Yeah. We're very excited," Shining Armor says with a smile.
"And according to the doctor, that we're expecting to have a baby girl,"Cadence adds with a smile.
Vice Principal Luna and Dean Cadence walk away as they continue talking. On one of the buses, Twilight is taking a peek at the school, she is about to get out the bus until she has an unexpected encounter.
Indigo Zap pushes her as she runs out and shouts, "Comin' through!"
Twilight ends up losing her balance and falls on a girl named Sunny Flare. The two get up and feels a bit of pain after the fall
Sunny Flare glares at her and says, "Seriously?"
"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to," Twilight apologizes.
Sunny Flare doesn't say anything else, but walks away. Twilight gets up and about to be on her way. Until she almost bump into Sour Sweet.
"Oh, sorry. Why don't you go ahead?" Twilight politely asks.
"You are such a sweetie!" Sour Sweet says sounding very sweet.
She then glares at Twilight and angrily says, "I am watching you!"
She then walks past her and start to talk to some of her classmates. Twilight is just about to talk around until, Lemon Zest gets out of the bus while listening to her music.
Lemon keeps screaming as she air guitar, "Ahh! Yeah!"
Lemon Zest then gets out of the bus, and make her way to her classmates.
Sugarcoat comes out next, and bluntly says to Twilight, "You are kinda being a doormat right now."
Twilight sighs sadly about not getting along with her classmates. Just then, her device starts to get some reading from the school. While no one is looking, Twilight decides to go into the school to find the source of the reading. As Twilight make her way to the school, she past two students, Lyra and Bon Bon, and the two recognized her.
"Hi, Twilight," Bon Bon replies.
But Twilight doesn't notice it, and keep following her device into the school /In the hallway, Twilight is undering about the readings and where is it coming from.
Just then another girl happily says, "Hey, Twilight!"
Twilight looks back with a confused look, but ignores it and keeps on going to find the source.
She becomes confused when she hears a few students walking by, saying stuff like, "Hi, Twilight… Hi, Twilight… Hey, you. Lookin' good."
"Um, hi," Twilight nervously replies.
She becomes more confused when other students saying, "Hey, what's happenin?... Really nice to see you… Twilight, how ya doin?... Twilight, yo!"
"Hi. Hello. Uh, good," Twilight nervously says, and looking very confused.
While walking backwards because of the hellos she is receiving, Twilight accidentally bump into someone and they both fall to the floor. She ends up bumping into Flash Sentry, and sends up losing her glasses.
Flash recognise her and happily says, "Twilight? I almost didn't recognize you."
She then help Twilight up. However, Twilight is having a trouble seeing. Flash looks down to see a pair of glasses on the floor, and figures it belongs to her.
"When did you start wearin' glasses?" Flash asks as he goes to pick them up.
"Um, like, since forever," Twilight answers, looking unsure.
"Oh, so how long are you here for?" Flash asks, as he pick up her glasses. However, he is not aware that this Twilight is not the same one that he knows.
"Just for the Friendship Games," Twilight answers
"Right. Of course. We'll totally win with you here," Flash answers with a smile, helping Twilight put her glasses on.
With her glasses on, Twilight can see Flash's face. Twilight is not sure what to say or think until her device is starting beeping again. She look to see that it's picking up the reading again.
"Uh, I gotta go," Twilight panicky says. She then leaves as fast as she san.
"Uh, okay. Bye? Aw," Flash replies feeling a bit sad about it.
In the music room, the girls and little boy are trying out some clothes that Rarity and Adagio have bring for the games. Rarity look around to make sure everything is perfect, especially the outfits.
"Uh, Rarity, these outfits are great, but why would you put so much time and effort into clothes we might not even wear? You're gonna exhaust yourself before the games even start," Applejack asks looking concerned.
"Don't be silly, darling! Putting effort into clothes is what I live for, and spending time on my friends fills me with energy!" Rarity says with excitement.
Just then, Rarity shows a bright purple aura, and being lifted up in the air. Rarity then grows pony ears, and long extended tail. The glow and the pony transformation astonished the others.
"And magic, too, I guess," Sun replies.
"Magic in this world is going to be harder to figure out," Falling Star adds.
Outside of the music room, Twilight looks for the source, and see her device has open on it's own. Sun and the others are not aware that Rarity's equestrian magic is traveling to Twilight's device and is being absorbed into it. She manages to close it up as the magic fully enters the device. Rarity is starting to feel weak and tired as she pony down and her ears and hair disappears.
"Actually, Applejack, now that you mention it, I suppose I could use a tiny break," Rarity says feeling very tired, that she collapses from exhaustion.
Applejack catches Rarity and says, "I told you."
Aria looks at her rockstar outfit in the mirror as she says, "Sometimes, I wonder why us girls will go through so much pain and torture to look beautiful."
"So worth it," Adagio remarks looking at her own outfit.
Just then, the group of friends hear the door opening, and Twilight Sparkle enter the room looking at her device with curiosity. She looks to see Sun and her friends in the outfits Rarity and Adagio have out for them.
The girls happily cheers, "Twilight!"
"Um, yes," Twilight says, looking confused.
Sun comes up to Twilight, and happily says, "Hey Twilight!"
"Sun, is that you?" Twilight asks with a smile.
"Yes it's me," Sun answers.
"It's nice to see you, what are you wearing?" Twilight asks, giving Sun a hug.
"I'm doing fine, Twilight. As for the metal shop outfit, Rarity is working on some clothes for the games, since we have no idea what it's going to be," Sun explains.
Then Sun asks, "Did you bring Spike along?"
"Of course I did, he's in my backpack and can't wait to see you and meet the others," Twilight happily answers.
Twilight puts her backpack down, unzips it, and little Spike the dog sticks his head out of the bed. With excitement, he jumps out, and start to explore the room.
Rarity and Fluttershy happily says, "Spike!"
Rarity and Fluttershy, along with Pinkie and Sonata star to play and pet Spike. The little dog bark happily on all the attention he is getting.
Twilight turns to Sun and asks, "I can see Spike surly is getting along with the others, but can you tell me how everyone in the school know my name?"
Sun becomes a bit nervous about it, and says, "Um, that's going to be a bit hard to explains, much harder after my family from out of town squashed you the other day."
"Your family?" Twilight questionably replies.
"Yeah. It's kind of a long story," Sun says.
Then Rarity comes over and asks, "By the way Twilight, would you like to try out some clothes for the Friendship Games."
"Are you sure?" Twilight asks.
"Of course, a good friend of Sun is indeed a friend of ours," Rarity happily says.
Twilight is skeptic about it at first, but decides to give it a try, and try out some of the clothes. Outside of the room, Principal Celestia and Discord are still leading Principal Cinch to the music room.
"And our music program has especially taken off," Principal Celestia says.
"Including my little girl and her friends are in the program," Discord says with pride.
Just then Shining Armor came walking over here. The three other adults notice him being here.
"Hello Shining Armor, how are you doing?" Principal Celestia asks.
"I'm doing fine, now if only I can find my little sister," Shining Armor answers.
"Your sister?" Discord questionably replies.
"Yeah, Twilight was supposed to be with the other students, but she isn't. So I suspect she must have gone into the school while we weren't looking," Shining Armor explains.
"Um Twilight… her name wouldn't happen to be Twilight Sparkle, right?" Principal Celestia asks looking surprised.
"Um yeah, how do you know that?" Shining Armor asks.
Before Principal Celestia answer, Discord comes in and says, "Because my Sun has been telling us much about her."
"Right, because your daughter and my sister are friends with each other, even when they both go to different schools," Shining Armor replies.
"Correct. Knowing these two, I suspect they're in that room right now, "Discord says, pointing to the music room.
Principal Celestia open the door to see Sun and her their ends with different outfits and uniforms on. Even Twilight is wearing a scientist outfit. The kids stop to see the four adults walking into the room, and Twilight and Sun recognize them.
Twilight sheepishly replies, "Uh hi, Shining Armor."
"Hi dad," Sun replies with a smile.
"Hello girls, I see that you are having a costume party in here. Mind if I joined?" Discord says.
But Principal Celestia says, "Now Discord, your chaperoning for the games so you need to be professional."
"Fine," Discord grumbles.
Taking off the jacket as Spike secretly sneak into backpack, Twilight takes it, and walks over to her brother.
"I'm guessing Cadence sent you here to find me?" Twilight asks.
"Yes Twilight, she's looking for you," Shining Armor answers.
"Okay, I'll head back. My device picked up some strange reading and I ended up running into Sun and the others, but I guess it's time for us to get back," Twilight says.
"That would be a wise decision," Principal Cinch says.
"Aww, but she just got here," Pinkie sadly replies, feeling disappointed.
"Don't worry, you'll see you again at the part," Shining Armor says.
With that Shining Armor, and Principal Cinch take Twilight back outside to be with the other students. Leaving Sun and the others in the room with the clothes they are wearing.
Principal Celestia looks at the girls with a skeptic look, and says, "I didn't know Twilight has a twin sister."
"She doesn't. That Twilight is obviously this world's Twilight because the Twilight we know doesn't go to Crystal Prep or wear glasses," Pinkie corrects it.
"And this Twilight doesn't know us either," Sonata add with a smile.
Principal Celestia is about to ask, but changes her mind and says, "Nevermind."
Principal Celestia leave, and the girls decide to change back to their other closes.
