//------------------------------// // Chapter 13: Shadow Bolts' Guilt // Story: My Little Pony Equestria Girls The Friendship Games // by Pinkie Pie Sweets //------------------------------// In the front of the Nurse's Office of CHS: Everyone is outside waiting for the results of the human version of Sunset Shimmer. Her friends, principal, guardian, and her cat are very worried about her. The Equestrian Sunset and her friends along with their principal and Vice Principal also feel sad because it was magic that caused the human Sunset to go unconscious. Just then Nurse Sweetheart walks out of the office to tell them of the human Sunset's progress. Dean Chrysalis walks to her in a worried state and asks, "How is she?" "She's doing fine, just sleeping right now, but she'll be up very soon," Nurse Sweetheart informs Chrysalis. "I'll be in there with her to check her progress a little more and until she wakes up," Nurse Sweetheart adds. Then she goes back to the nurse's office to take care of the human for on Sunset Shimmer. After hearing it, Dean Chrysalis, Principal Cinch, and Sunset's friends are glad that Sunset is fine, but still feel awful for what happened. Even Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna are sad for what happened to a student since this doesn't happened much. Principal Chinch feels so awful for what she had done that tears starts to come out and cover herself with her hands. She sadly says, "This is all my fault. I'll... I"ll never be able to forgive myself." The students of Crystal Prep are surprised, they never seen Principal Cinch like this before, not that they can blame her. They feel like they're also to blame for what happened to their Sunset Shimmer that almost destroyed Canterlot High because she was suffering pain from the magic and they don't understand why. Dean Chrysalis give Principal Cinch a hug hoping to comfort her and like her she feels bad that she could help prevent this incident to happen. Principal Cinch manages to calm down a little, but still feels terrible for what her plan caused. The Equestrian Sunset and her friends are also sad about this too and wish there is something they can do to help them with this kind of problem. "Actually Principal Cinch, we're all to blame for this," Sour Sweet says sadly. The sourly says, "Maybe not our Sunset and the CHS Students." The Equestrian Sunset turns to everyone sadly and says, "Actually… it… it kind of is." Rainbow looks at Sunset confused and asks, "What do you mean?" "Well Rainbow Dash, if we weren't so focused on trying to defeat the Shadowbolts and try to help them solve this problem ,then they wouldn't try to use the magic themselves," Applejack explains sadly. "And I was too focus depending on someone else to solve this that I gave up looking for the answer myself," The Equestrian Sunset replies feeling guilty as well. "At least you didn't assume that you were using magic to cheat and then manipulated our Sunset Shimmer into releasing all the stolen magic and turned her into an unstable magical creature that nearly tore the world apart just to win a game," Sugar Coat bluntly explains. Everyone is surprised that she is able to explain all this and every last word of it is true. Pinkie says, "Wow! That's a lot to take in when you say it all at once." "Let's not forget causing Shine to talk," Lemon Zest adds. "Yeah. I still can't believe it," Indigo replies still a little confused. "Me too… and I'm talking to you guys right now," Shine replies agreeing to that statement. Then Sunny Flare pets her on the head. Principal Cinch finally stop crying a little and thinks it's a good idea to ask them something that's been bugging her. Principal Cinch simply sighs and says, "To be honest, I don't think anything can surprise me anymore." "I agree," Dean Chrysalis replies agreeing with all that has happened. "I'm surprised the school board doesn't know about this," Principal Cinch adds curiously. Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna looks a little worried even though they know this question might come up sooner or later. "Well Principal Cinch, it's kind of hard to tell them about two girls coming from a different worlds. And turned magical with wings," Celestia explains firmly. "Let's not forget about three dangerous magical creatures from that that world who tried to take over our school a few months ago," Luna adds. Principal Cinch, Dean Chrysalis and the Crystal Prep Sunset's friends are surprised that the magic proble happened two other times before the Friendship Games. Principal Cinch and Dean Chrysalis look at each other and agree that their Sunset started this investigation on Canterlot High strangeness months ago in the fall. Sunny Flare turns to the Equestrian Sunset and her friends and says, "You're school must be jinxed or something." "Hey!" Pinkie replies sounding annoyed. "At least this time has nothing to do with a magical creature who set on world domination coming from Equestria," Applejack replies after that statement. "Yeah," Everyone in the room agrees. As thing are getting a little better between the two schools, Princess Twilight Sparkle runs down the hall to the others in a tired state. She looks like she just got back from one of the royal duties she needed to take care off in Equestria. Twilight tiredly says, "I'm so sorry I didn't get here sooner. I didn't get your messages until now cause I was caught up in this time travel loop and honestly, it was the strangest thing that's ever happened to me." After Twilight explains to them what has happened, Twilight notice that something doesn't feel right. Princess Twilight is beginning to think that something has gone wrong while she was gone. "Did something happened?" Twilight asks confusedly. Then Princess Twilight notices Principal Cinch and other people she hasn't seen before. Twilight turns to Sunset Shimmer and asks, "And who are these people?" Just then Dean Chrysalis decides to take a look at Princess Twilight and asks, "Who are you?" Twilight is shocked to see that the woman standing before her is Queen Chrysalis's human counterpart from this world. "Um… wow… I guess everyone has a human counterpart in this world… even Queen Chrysalis," Twilight replies and laughs nervously. Chrysalis and Principal cinch looks at each other rather confusedly of what their new visitor just said. Dean Chrysalis confusedly says, "Queen Chrysalis?" Then Principal Cinch turns to Celestia and Luna to ask them about their visitor. Principal Cinch nervously asks, "Is she a magical problem as well?" "Magical yes, problem no," Celestia answers with a smile making sure Principal cinch knows Twilight is not a threat. "She's a friend," Sunset Shimmer adds with a smile. Then Sunset Shimmer gives Princess Twilight a hug and says, "It's good to see you again." "It's good to see you too," Twilight replies back happily. Then the other gives Princess Twilight a hug too and are very happy to see her again. Dean Chrysalis looks at Twilight every closely and realizes who she looks like. Dean Chrysalis firmly says, "She looks like Cadence's sister in law." Principal Cinch looks at her closely then realized who she looks like, the only thing is she hasn't seen that face in years. Principal Cinch looks surprised and says " You're right, she looks like Twilight Sparkle!" When the students of Crystal Prep look at Twilight they are surprised to see an old face, even though she isn't really the same person that they know from a long time ago. Sunset Shimmer, Princess Twilight, and their friends look at the Crystal Prep people confusedly and are quite surprised to hear this fact. Dean Chrysalis and Principal Cinch s along with the Human Sunset friends seem to know about a Twilight Sparkle being in this world. Rainbow is the first one to speak up but sounds very confused, "Wait, there's a Twilight in this world too?" "Yes, but she and her family moved away in 6th grade," Sunny Flare explains. "Yeah, and Sunset along with the rest of us were good friends with her too," Lemon Zest adds. Just as things can't more confused. Nurse Sweetheart comes out of the nurses office and she is very happy about something. Nurse Sweetheart says, "Everyone Sunset Shimmer is awake now. You can all go in to see her." Everyone starts to smile knowing that Sunset Shimmer's human counterpart is alright and finally wake up after what happened. Twilight looks very confused and surprisingly says, "Sunset Shimmer?!" Then she turns to her Sunset and asks, "Sunset, can you tell me what is going on here?" Just then Pinkie gets in front of Twilight and asks, "Do you want the long or the short version?" "Um… short," Twilight nervously says. Pinkie takes a deep breath and then explains to Twilight what happened really fast. Pinkie fastly explains, "Sunset Shimmer's human counterparts came to Canterlot High from her school at Crystal Prep and we competed against her and her friends at the Friendship Games, but during the games, she has a device called the spectrometer that took all the magic from us including the portal. When Principal Cinch and her friends found out, they assumed that we used magic to cheated and got the other Sunset to release the magic and turned to a magical creature that she couldn't controlled and almost tore the world about to get to your home world. Then our Sunset used the device and our magic to turned to a magical creature and teached her what true magical friendship is, but after being turned back to normal she simply passed out and is in the nurse's office." Twilight looks very shocked after hearing what Pinkie said. She didn't when to be surprised that a human version of Twilight is at CHS or that the fact she went through the same thing her Sunset Shimmer went through. Twilight plainly says, "Oh!" Just then everyone decides to go in the nurse's office to see how the Sunset Shimmer from Crystal Prep is doing. Twilight looks at Sunset, laughs nervously, and says, "I guess... I can make this the second strangest." Sunset simply laughs and says, "Come on, I think it's a good idea to explain to my counterpart together." Twilight smiles at Sunset and says, "I think that's a good idea." After that, Twilight and Sunset goes inside to talk with sunset Shimmer's human counterpart and explain to her about the magic she has encounter.
