Chapter 6: Trouble with Magic and Friendship

The next day in Sun's bedroom, Falling Star sitting on Sun's bed with a sad look on her face. She looks around to see the books, and other stuff Sun has. What really catches her attention is the picture that is on the desk. She grabs it so she can get a better look on it. She sees Sun with all of her friends, and some of them have pets. Falling Star sighs with sadness and wishes she can have friends just like Sun does.

Just then, Falling Star hears the door opens and look to see Screwball coming into the room with a smile on her face.

Screwball walks over to Falling Star and says, "Hi Falling Star, it's very nice to meet you. My sister told me that you'll be staying with us for a little while.

"Um, yes," Falling Star quietly answers, and slowly nodding her head.

"It's okay that you feel about shy. Sun was the same way when she moved here, but no she feels like she is part of the family," Screwball happily relies.

Then Screwball says, "I'll bet you're hungry, right?"

Right on cue, Falling Star's stomach begins to growl like crazy.

Falling Star blushes a bit and says, "I hadn't eaten very much for the past few weeks."

"Good. Now come on, lunches just about ready. We're having pizza," Screwball cheerfully says.

"Um, okay," Falling Star sheepishly replies.

Screwball grabs Falling Star's other hand that is not in a cast, and drags her out of the room. Falling Star is able to put the picture back on the desk as she is being dragged out of the room.

At the dining table, Sun, Discord, and Screwball are eating their pizza. Falling Star simply looks at the plate, and then looks back at the three family members. Falling Star then grabs hold of her pizza and slowly eats it. Sun looks at Falling Star and can see the sad expression on her face, and wants to help her.

Sun calmly asks with a reassuring smile, "So Falling Star, how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine.. I guess," Falling Star quietly answers. Hen continues to eat her pizza.

Sun, Discord and Screwball look at each other and can tell that Falling Star is still a little upset to talk.

Screwball asks, "Falling Star, why were you sleeping in that old house."

"Let's just say, I have nowhere else to go," Falling Star sadly answers.

"But why? Where did you live?" Sun asks.

Falling Star looks down, and mutters, "I don't wanna talk to it."

"It's okay, but there is something else I want to ask you about," Sun replies.

"What is it?" Falling Star replies.

"It's about the strange magic you have. Have you… in a way experienced strange side effect since you were hit by it?" Sun asks, but trying to be calm about it.

Falling Star stops eating and tries to think about the magic that has hit her. She tries her best to think about it. So far, Falling Star is making a sad look on her face.

She sadly answers, "I'm sorry, but I haven't really notice much, other than it makes my hair levitates, sparkles, and showing this strange aura around my body."

Sun is very confused about it, and wonder why Falling Star can't seem to remember anything about the magic she has within her. In fact, Sun has no clue where that kind of magic come from. All she knows, is that this kind of magic is Equestrian.

Just then, the four sitting on the table hear knocking coming from the door.

Sun gets off of the chair as she says, "I'll get it."

Sun goes to the door to see who it is. Sun opens the door to see Applejack and her sister, Apple Bloom, Rarity and her sister, Sweetie Belle, Rainbow Dash, and Scootaloo are here.

"Hi girls, what are you doing?" Sun asks with glee.

"We're here to see our new friend. Plus Apple Bloom and the others are here for their sleepover with Screwball tonight," Applejack answers.

Sun giggles and says, "Don't worry, I remember."

Then Rarity sadly says, "Plus, Principal Celestia and Discord to come to the school right away. She tried calling him, but he didn't answer."

"What happened?" Sun asks.

"She said that it's more of an… important staff meeting," Rarity replies.

Sun can tell that thi must be serious, so she nods her head and lets the girls inside. Sun leads the girls to where her family and friend are.

"Dad, Rarity told me that Principal Celestia tried to call you but didn't answer," Sun says.

"Actually I did saw it, but I at least wanted to eat first," Discord remarks. Then takes a bite of his pizza.

"Well, it looks like you'll be going to an important staff meeting at the school after you finish lunch," Sun firmly says.

Discord simply nods his head in reply.

She then calmly says with a smile, "And Screwball, your friends are here for your sleepover tonight."

The Crusaders happily says, "Hi Screwball!"

"Hi girls," Screwball happily says with her mouth full.

Sun giggles, and says, "Don't talk with your mouth full."

Screwball rolls her eyes, and swallows her food. Since she is finish her pizza, she gets up from her seat, and goes up stairs with her friends to plan their sleepover tonight. Discord finishes his pizza, and leaves to get ready to head to the school. The four friends are now alone with the sad guest.

Rarity calmly says, "Hello Falling Star, I see you are doing well."

"Thank you," Falling Star quietly replies.

Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash look at each other with straight looks on their faces, and are kind of concerned at the same time.

Applejack turns to Sun and asks, "Is she… goin' to be okay?"

"Honestly, I don't really know," Sun answers.

Rainbow comes up to Falling Star, and asks,"Hey kid, can you tell us what's bugging you?"

"No!" Falling Star firmly answers.

Rarity sternly glares at Rainbow and asks, "Rainbow Dash, was that really necessary?"

"Then how do you expect to get a answer out of her," Rainbow protests.

Rarity tries to think of something, but shakes her head shrugging her shoulders, meaning that she doesn't have an answer.

"I think we just need to wait until she is ready to talk, even if it means taking this a little at the time," Sun says.

"You do got a point," Rarity agrees.

Then Sun asks, "But the way, where are the others?"

"Well Adagio, Aria, Sonata, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy have work today so they can't be here today.," Rarity answers.

What about Twilight?" Sun adds.

Rainbow answers while scratching her head, "I went over to her house, but Shining Armor her brother said that she is busy today, and can't be with us today."

Sun sighs sadly and says, "I was afraid of this."

"Afraid of what?" Applejack ass looking confused.

"Girls, I think something is bothering Twilight and I think it had something to do with what happened at the Friendship Games," Sun explains.

Why do you say that?" Rainbow asks.

Sun scratches her chin as she says, "Well for one, I noticed that Twilight was giving off magical energy and got scared. Second, a couple of times, I've noticed that Twilight was feeling a bit… scared when we transformed."

"But why?" Rarity asks with concern.

"I think I know why, but I think I need to talk to her first," Sun answers.

She looks at Falling Star and says, "But first, let's see if we can help our new friend today."

"How?" Applejack asks.

"Easy, we can show her around town and see if we can know about her more," Sun answers.

Applejack and the others think about the idea. They all smile and simply nods their heads in reply. Falling Star does think it will be nice to see more around the city, but not sure people will react towards her, especially when she has a broken arm and a bandage wrapped around her head.

Sometime later at CHS gym, all of the staff members including Discord are inside for an important meeting. Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna are on stage standing in front of a microphone.

Principal Celestia hold the microphone, and says, "Alright, I suppose you're wondering why I called you here."

Everyone nod their head in reply.

Then Vice Principal Luna says through the microphone, "We called you all here because of some… strange occurrence that happened last night."

"Last night, a few security guards caught something… mysterious, and gave them a dreadful fright. They believed they have saw… a ghost," Principal Celestia explains, feeling a bit unsure about the details.

Everyone begin to whispers to themselves about this unusual situation. Some off the staff members think it was some students doing a prank. Others are unsure because of the magic situation that happened at the school a few times.

Discord stands up who is at the front row and says, "A ghost. That sounds very interesting. Maybe we should call some ghost hunters."

Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna firmly stares at Discord and his little insult.

Principal Celestia calmly says, "Discord, none of the officers got a good look on what it is. They think that it's a ghost, but said that there was something unusual about it."

"Like what?" Discord asks, arching his eyebrow.

"Well, they said that the ghost seems to be about a young height and looks like a girl. They also reported that it's a dark blue color," Vice Principal Luna explains.

"And for some reason this ghost is throwing objects like chairs desk, and supplies around the room like a child throwing a tantrum," Principal Celestia adds with concern.

Discord blinks a few times and says. "Oh?"

Then Ms. Harshwhinny gets up and says, "I'd say this has to be some kind of prank."

"I don't know Ms. Harshwhinny, this could be one of those out of control magical nonsense that's been going on a few time," Cranky Doodle sternly suggests.

"Now dear, try to calm yourself," Matilda says.

Cranky sighs with a smile, and says, "Yes dearie."

Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna, and Discord simply roll their eyes seeing the two couples being lovey dovey over each other.

Then Discord asks, "So what do you think we should do about it?"

"Well, I kind of have an idea on how to figure this out. If this is a magic problem, then we're going to need a few experts for the job, but we need to wait to be sure," Principal Celestia answers.

"Why wait?" Discord asks.

"We don't know if this is going to be a one time. Plus, we need to be sure if we can get a better view on what we're finding before we ask them for our assistance," Principal Celestia explains.

At the mall, Sun, Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash are showing Falling Star around. Falling Star is feeling a bit weary about being in the neighborhood. She looks to see all the different stores, and all of the different people. For some reason, they all seem so… friendship in this city. Not like the town she has left behind.

Rainbow comes up to Falling Star, and asks, "So Falling Star, how are you feeling?"

"I'm… I'm feeling a little better," Falling Star answers with a small smile.

"That's good, because we're meeting some of our friends here," Rarity says with a smile on her face.

"Um… like who?" Falling Star asks looking a bit confused.

She gets her answer when she hears someone happily cheers, "Hey girls! Over here!"

The girls look at the direction of the calling to see the Dazzlings at the food court. Sonata is waving her hand trying to get her attention .Of course, the cheerful screaming is enough to do so. They walk over to them to see them having some smoothies.

Sonata happily says, "Hey girls,"

"Hi," Aria replies.

"Hello girls, how are you dong?" Adagio asks with a grin on her face.

"We're doing fine. We also brought Falling Star with us," Sun says.

Sun brings Falling Star to the three friends. Falling Star is feeling a bit nervous about.

Sonata happily says "Hi I'm Sonata Dusk, and these are my sisters… Aria Blaze."

"What's up?" Aria bluntly asks.

"And Adagio Dazzle," Sonata adds.

"Hello Falling Star, it's very nice to meet you," Adagio says, offering a hand shake.

When Falling Star sees Adagio he begins to shiver like crazy, and begins to step away from her. This catches the attention of Sun and the others. They wonder why Falling Star is looking so scared. Falling Star simply stands behind Sun.

Adagio begins to get confused, and asks, "Was it something I said?"

"What do you think is wrong with her?" Sonata asks.

"Yeah. She's shaking like a chihuahua," Aria bluntly remarks.

"Aria, be nice," Adagio firmly scolds.

"Yes mom," Aria says with an annoyed look and rolling her eyes.

Sun is not sure why Falling Star' feeling scared when she encounters Adagio. Sun simply hugs her and brushes her hair, which seems to help calm her down. The girls agree to take Falling Star back home, and see if they redo the introduction another time.

Late in the night, Sun and Falling Sar are sleeping in her bed. Falling Star begins to move around as she whimpers in fear. Her body begins to give of the same dark blue aura, and her hair begin to levitates and shimmer. She then begin to have a terrible nightmare.

In her nightmare, Falling Star begins to run through a school hallway in fear with tears running down her face. Everywhere she turns, she sees students showing evil looks on their faces and laughing at her. Falling Star gasps in shock as she stops in her tracks to see someone in front of her.

The person is the girl and she's a year older than her. The girl has light pink skin, dark red puffy hair with pink streaks on it, and mulberry eyes. She is wearing a dark blue sleeveless shirt with a light blue blouse jacket, black jeans, and blue slip on shoes. She wearing spike bracelet on her wrists and ankles. For some crazy reason, this girl looks almost like Adagio Dazzle. Falling Star screams in fear and runs away.

In the real world, Falling Star continues to have the nightmare as her magic becomes exposed. At the side of the bed, a strange magical figure begins to appear in the room. However, no one is awake to see it as it begins to appear, and begins to leave the room. The mysterious magical figure leaves without making a single sound as everyone in the house sleeps.
