//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: A Visit From Chaotic Eris // Story: A Star that Falls to Canterlot City // by Pinkie Pie Sweets //------------------------------// Back at the school, the girls are at doing one of their fundraiser for going to Camp Everfree. This fundraiser is a bake sale, and it's going pretty gather to buy some sweets and goodies, especially Applejack and Pinkie's homemade desserts. The girls are passing them sweets and receive money in the profess. "The fundraiser is going pretty well," Applejack says, feeling pleased. "Yeah, I'd say we'll earn enough money to go to Camp Everfree in no time," Rainbow says, with excitement. She turns to Twilight and asks, "So how much money did we made?" "Well, after careful analysis on each dessert we sell and customers bought, I'd say we were able to make half of the money all ten of us," Twilight answers, holding the money box. "Sounds like we're making pretty good progress," Aria says. "Yeah, and these cupcakes are delicious," Sonata says with cupcake in her mouth, and holding two in her hands. Aria and Adagio roll their eyes seeing Sonata eating some of the product they're selling. Adagio turns to the others and says, "I'll be sure Sonata pays for it." The others start giggling by it. The others turn to see Sun walking over to the stand, and still wearing the arm strap and a cast. Pinkie runs over to Sun, stands in front of her, and happily asks, "Hey Sun, how was the hospital." "It's fine. I had to wear this cast for a few weeks, and I can't help you all with the fundraiser much," Sun answers. "That's okay, you can help us some other way. Come on, we want to show you how much progress we did," Pinkie happily cheers. Pinkie grabs Sun's other arm and drags her to the table where the others are. The girls are happy to see Sun, and not in the hospital. "Hi girls," Sun says. The girls say hello, and Sonata says it with a little cupcake in her mouth. Then Twilight asks, "So how did it go?" "Well, for one, Falling Star has woken up, but will need to stay in the hospital for the night," Sun answers. "Sounds like a very good idea," Fluttershy agrees. "Were you able to talk to her?" Rarity asks in concern. Sun sadly sighs, and answers, "You can say that." The girls can see the sad look on Sun's face, and can tell something happened. Applejack asks with concern, "Is everythin' alright, sugarcube." "No. I was able to talk to her, but I think something's' wrong with her," Sun says. Sun begins to explain the girls about her conversation with Falling Star, and finding out that she might have magic in her. What is most shocking is that Sun's suspicion of Falling Star running away, and doesn't want anyone to know where she lives is a big problem. "Wait, wait, wait! You're telling us that Falling Star might have runaway from home?!" Applejack asks in shock. "I know it seems impossible, but the way she acted towards the doctor about checking her information got her schared. And when I asked her, she covers herself in the blanket and started crying," Sun explains. Fluttershy worriedly asks, "Oh dear, what could have happened to her that caused her to runaway from home?" "I don't know, she was too upset to talk," Sun sadly answers. "Then what can we do?" Adagio asks. "I was able to talk to my dad, and he said that she can stay at my house. I had to explain to him about her being the Falling Star of this world, and that I broke my arm..." Sun explains, but stops. Then the girls ask, "And?" "And he said that someone special will be picking my and Screwall up from school, but he said that it's a surprise," Sun answers with questionable look on her face. The girls look at each other with a confused look, an wonder who that person can be. "And who would that be?" Aria asks. "I don't know, he sad that she is very excited to see us," Sun answers, scratching her head. "And she said it's a surprise. You should never ruin a surprise," Pinki adds, happily. "Right," Aria replies, rolling her eyes. As the girls are trying to figure out who the person is, they begin to hear some loud, thundering noises. They look to see someone some is running towards them, fast and hard. Sun and the girl gasp in shock, while The Dazzlings and Twilight are confused to see who is coming. The person is none other than Eris, Discord's twin sister, and Sun and Screwball's aunt. Runnin towards then, Eris happily cheers, "Sunny! Come to you auntie Eris! Come to Auntie Eris!" Eris runs so fast, that Sun is unable to say anything. Eris grabs her, and begins to hug her and spinning herself around. Rainbow and the others are a bit surprised to see her here, while Twilight and The Dazzlings are a bit confused. Twilight turns to the others, and asks, "Um guys, who exactly is this woman?" "Yeah. She looks like a Lady version of Discord," Sonata questionably replies. Applejack giggles nervously, and answers, "Um guys, this is Eris, Discord twin sister and… Sun's aunt." "Aunt!" Twilight and The Dazzlings shockley exclaim. "Yeah. That's her alright," Rainbow remarks. "And as you can see, she has the same personality as Discord and Screwball," Rarity adds. The Dazzlings and Screwball look at Eris sining Sun around, and can tell the similarities between her, Discord, and Screwball. Adagio skeptical says, "I have to admit, I see the resemblance." "Yeah, and the personality," Aria adds. "I kind of like her," Sonata replies. After spinning herself and Sun like a top, she stops and gives Sun a big hug. She happily says, "It's so good to see you again, Sunny!" "It's nice to you too, Aunt Eris," Sun adds with a giggle. "So what's going on here?" Eris asks. "Nothing much, we're having a fundraiser to help raise money to got to Camp Everfree," Sun answers. "Camp Everfree. I hadn't been there since I was a kid. Discord, Luna, Celestia, Sombra and Hope was there as well," Eris says with glee. Eris notices Sun's arm and shockley asks, "What happened to your arm?!" "I… fell down the stars in an old mansion," Sun nervously answers with her cheeks turning red. "Lapis' mansion? I hadn't seen that place in years. I thought they torn it down," Eris questionably replies. "Eyupe. We were able to find a girl named Falling Star who made the mansion a home," Applejack says. "And she didn't know to was going to be torn down," Rainbow Dash adds. Then Fluttershy says, "And we don't even know where she lives." "And when Sun was with her, she was too upset to talk," Rarity sadly adds. Eria takes into what the girls are talking about, and cancel that this is a problem. Eris turns her head and noties four new girls in Sun's group. She smiles and asks, "So Sun, aren't you going to introduce me to your new friends?" Sun and the girls realizes that Eris has never met Twilight Sparkle, and Adagio and her sisters before. Sun says, "Eris, these are my friends, Twilight Sparkle." "Hello, it's very nice to meet you," Twilight politely says. "Adagio Dazzle, and her sisters, Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk. "Hello," Adagio replies "Hey,"Arai says. Sonata waves her hand, and says, "Hi." "Well, it looks like you grew a lot of friends since I last saw you, "Eris says with a smile. Then she asks, "So where is my younger niece." "She's with Scootaloo and the others exploring the bake sale," Rainbow says. Then Fluttershy shyly asks, "Would you like some?" "Sure, I would love some," Eris answers with a big smile on her face. "Auntie Eris!" A familiar voice cries out with glee. Everyone at the stand turn to see Screwball and the others heading towards them. Screwball runs to Eris and gives her a hug. Eris hus her back. Eris happily says, "Hey my little chaotic monkey, how are you doing?" "I'm doing fine. My friends are too," Screwball replies. Eris turns to see Apple Bloom and the girls coming and happily says, "Hi girls." "Hi Eris," the Crusaders reply. Then Applejack, Apple Bloom, do you think you an your friends can help us out. Sun broke her arm and we could really use the help." "And we're making this as part o your community service for the Anon-A-Miss incident," Pinkie adds getting into the girls face. Then girls nod their heads agreeing to the idea. Apple Bloom and the others begin to help hem out with the bake sale. Twilight is a bit confused, and wonder what Pinky means by the Anon-A-Miss incident. "Anon-A-Miss? What's that?" Twilight asks. Sun and her friends look at each other with concern looks. They don't really want to tell Twilight about thirone christmas turned into a big mess. "Let's just say that it was one christmas and was a bit hard to forget, and… it's something we really want to forget," Sun sadly answers in a calm way. Twilight questionably says, "Okay?" "Anon-A-Miss? Are they still being punished for it?" Eris asks. "Unfortunately yes. They agree to give any help that I need for all of this year," Sun answers. Then Eris smiles an says, "By the way, I remember getting a letter from my brother that you're in a band with your friends. I really love to listen the music you play." Sun looks at her friends, and all of them nod their heads with smiles on their faces. Meaning that they are delighted to play a song for Eris. Of course, they agree to do it after the bake sale. Hours later, the bake sale has come and gone. The school are able to make a lot of money for them to go, but still have some way to go before they can go to their special trip. Sun and all of her friends are in the music room with their instruments and microphones, ready to play. Eris, Screwball, and her friends are sitting on the floor waiting for them to play. Rainbow shows a grin on her face, and asks, "Ready?" "Ready!" The girls cheer. Pinkie taps on her drum sticks as she shouts, "One, two, three, four!" With that the girls begin to play their instruments. Twilight and The Dazzlings are standing in front of some microphones. Sun picks up the microphone and starts singing. Sun: We know how to dare We know how to dream Tonight is the night What we wanna be, we'll be We're gonna make it through Just then, Sun and her friends, excluding Twilight begin to admit magical aura. Sun: Let's conquer the fears Take every chance Hold back the tears What we wanna be we'll be We're gonna make it through Sun then begins to transform to her pony form. Sun: Out of our heads Into our hearts Close to the edge Ready to start The Dazzlings, and the Rainbooms begin to transform to their pony form with wins, ears, extended tails. Sun, Twilight, and The Dazzlings: And it's so good Dancing on the air It feels so good Nothing can compare Sun: Cause the beat in our hearts Is the beat of the charts Sun, Twilight, and The Dazzlings: Like a spotlight we're cutting through It feels so good Sun: Shining here in front of you Eris, and the kids are excited to see the performance. Eris is impressed to see the girls transforming like that. Sun and her friends continue to her from. Sun: Give everything And don't be afraid Be true to yourself If you wanna live forever You're gonna make it through You're gonna make it through Out of our heads Into our hearts Close to the edge Ready to start Sun, Twilight, and The Dazzlings: And it's so good Dancing on the air It feels so good Nothing can compare Sun: 'Cause the beat in our hearts Is the beat of the charts Sun, Twilight, and The Dazzlings: Like a spotlight we're cutting through It feels so good Dancing on the air It feels so good Nothing can compare Sun: 'Cause the beat in our hearts Is the beat of the charts Sun, Twilight, and The Dazzlings: Like a spotlight we're cutting through It feels so good What Twilight is not noticing is that she is starting to admit an aura around her body too. Sun: Shining here in front of you It feels so good Shining here in front of you Shining here in front of you Sun, Twilight, and The Dazzlings: Dancing on the air It feels so good Nothing can compare Sun: 'Cause the beat in our hearts Is the beat of the charts Sun, Twilight, and The Dazzlings: Like a spotlight we're cutting through It feels so good Dancing on the air It feels so good Nothing can compare Sun: 'Cause the beat in our hearts Is the beat of the charts Sun, Twilight, and The Dazzlings: Like a spotlight we're cutting through It feels so good Sun: Shining here in front of you When they finish their song, Eris and the kids begin to clap and cheer for the band. Sun and her friends are happy because of the performance they put on, and that they are able to transform. The girls begin to laugh and re very happy. Twilight is laughing too, until she looks at her hands. She becomes spooked to see a strange magical aura around her body. In panic, Twilight runs out of the room and everyone else see her. They become surprised and concern to see Twilight running away as she shows a purple aura around her body. Rainbow breaks the silence, "What's wrong with Twilight?" Everyone else in the room are confused on why Twilight runs out of the room like that. Sun seems to be the one who notices Twilight scared expression, and i starting to see why. Sun's suspicious has something to do with the last time Twilight has been exposed to Twilight. Worried to put any pressure on Twilight, she decides to give her some alone time until she calms down. In the girls restroom, Twilight is in one of the restroom stall sitting on the ground with her knees close to her face. She begins to shake like a leaf. She looks at her hands to see that the magical aura is gone, but covers her face on her knees again. She is very worried about the results of it, and what she is afraid of. She's afraid that Equestrian Magic will transform her into Midnight Sparkle again, and will end up destroying everything and everyone she cares about.
