I quickly ran outside once I was changed. I go to the statue and wait for Twilight outside. I could hear what Principal Celestia was saying to Principal Cinch.
"Vice Principal Luna 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." Celestia said proudly.
"Oh, yes, Principal Celestia. I'm sure that would be fascinating. Especially with that shadow competitor."
"Shadow competitor?" Celestia asked with concern.
"Yes. See, I was talking to one of my competitors and one of your competitors called me 'a jealous bitch.'" Principal Cinch narrows her eyes. While Celestia widens hers.
"Yes, that sounds like Xayvier. And that would also explain why he missed his classes all day even though he lives at the school."
"He lives at the school? Has he no home to go to?" Celestia winces.
"Whatever you do. Don't bring that up near him."
"Too late!" I call from the statue. Celestia groans and facepalms.
"Is that him?" Cinch says with distaste. "Unusual fashion tastes."
"He usually dresses like that." Celestia sighs. "Anyway. On with the tour?"
"Please." Cinch and Celestia both throw a glare at me. I shrug and smile under my face mask. I look to the right and see Cadence and Luna hugging.
"Oh, it's always such a pleasure to see you, Dean Cadence. Even if it means another defeat."
"Thank you, Vice Principal Luna, but I hear it's not going to be so easy this time." they walk away and I notice Twilight looking outside. Suddenly Indigo Zap pushes her.
"Coming through!"
"WHOA!" I blink quickly and catch Twilight.
"Got you," I say. Twilight looks up and sees me. She recognizes my voice and I smile. "Hey, Twilight. Follow your necklace and you'll find me. Also move away from Sour Sweet." Twilight nods and stands up. She moves into the line. I do a two fingered salute and blink away to the entrance of the school. Twilight notices her necklace glowing and follows where it's pointing her. She follows it and quite a few people say hi to her. I smile and blink ahead. I see Flash.
"Yo flash. The Twilight you're about to meet isn't your Twilight. It's this world's Twilight. So don't be surprised if she doesn't know you." Flash blinks a few times. And before he's able to respond I disappear.
"He's getter more and more like Pinkie Pie every day." Flash says quietly to himself. He shakes his head and bumps into Twilight.
"Twilight? I almost didn't recognize you. When did you start wearin' glasses?" Asked Flash confused.
"Um, like, since forever."
"Oh, so how long are you here for?"
"Just for the Friendship Games."
"Right. Of course. We'll totally win with you here." Flash puts Twilight's glasses on her. Suddenly the device begins to beep.
"Uh, I gotta go."
"Uh, okay. Bye? Aw." Flash says disappointed as Derpy came and comforts him.
"I told you. This world's Twilight. Not Equestria Twilight." I say and disappear away from him. I reappear next to Twilight and her beeping device that apparently just finished sucking the magic out of rarity.
"Hey Twilight."
"AHH!" She jumps and looks at me. "Ok. I have Questions. Who are you. How does everyone here know my name, and how are you able to do all that stuff your doing?" Just then the doors open up.
"Twilight!" All the girls ask in surprise.
"Uh. Yes?" She asks confused.
"Girls? This is not the Twilight we know. This is the human Twilight."
"What?" Everyone asks in confusion.
"What are you talking about?" Sci-Twi asks in exasperation.
"Yeah, if she doesn't get that, she must be the human Twilight." Applejack says. "Sorry Sugarcube, we thought you were someone else."
"Someone else that just so happens to share my name? And judging from your reaction, also my appearance?" Asks Twilight blandly.
"Yeah." They all say at the same time. Twilight groans.
"This school is weird."
"You don't even know the half of it." Sunset Shimmer said. "I'm Sunset Shimmer. That's Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Pinkie... Pinkie Pie?" She looks around for her only for her to be hugging me."
"Pinks... Can't... Breathe..." I choke and everyone giggles as she lets go of me.
"Now. Can I please have some answers?" Just then Spike pops up out of her backpack.
"Spike!" They say happily. Spike looks around and sees me. He barks happily and launches into my arms.
"Yeah, Hi spike. I missed you too."
"You've met Spike before?" Twilight asked confused.
"I was the one who caught you in that broom closet of yours." Twilight blushes a bit while Spike licks my face. "Yes yes. I missed you too." Just then I hear footsteps at the end of the hall. "Twilight. Hide him. Principal Alert." I put Spike back in his bag and zip it up.
"And our music program has especially taken off."I pop my head out.
"Celestia? Before you say anything. It's not the Twilight you know. It's the human Twilight."
"You?!" Cinch says angrily.
"Hi, bitch." I wave. Everyone pales when I say this.
"Xayvier. Don't call Principal Cinch a bitch." I could almost hear the approval coming from her mind though.
"Why don't you just expel him?" Cinch asks.
"Because they wouldn't be able too even if they wanted to." Celestia and I both say dryly.
"Why not?"
"Because he and those other girls saved the school twice now." She sighs as she gestures to the main 7 minus Twilight.
"Oh?" Cinch's curiosity was peaked.
"Yeah, But we're not here about that," Celestia said. Just then Cinch notices Twilight.
"I must apologize for the curiosity of my prized student." She said as she put her hand on Twilight's shoulder,
"It's perfectly alright," Celestia says.
"The smart ones are always curious. I'll return her to check in with the rest of her classmates." They leave.
"Would someone mind explaining to me what's going on?" Celestia asked exasperatedly.
"That Twilight is this world's twilight. Not the twilight that we know and saved the school alongside twice already. Does that explain it?"
"I guess. I'll have to go explain these new developments to Luna. If you'll excuse me." She hurries off to find her sister.
"I can't believe our world's Twilight goes to Crystal Prep!" Rarity says.
"You're saying that Twilight's gonna play against us? She'd never do that!" Rainbow Dash says
"Our Twilight wouldn't." Fluttershy corrects.
"Yeah. Our Twilight is a princess in Equestria. Probably got problems of her own to deal with."
We certainly can't expect her to drop everything and pop through the portal whenever. Especially if it's to deal with something as minor as The friendship games." Rarity says.
"It's minor now?" I smirk. "I could have sworn you said that it was extremely important."
"To these schools dear. Not to a princess." Rarity corrects.
"Come on, guys! Let's see if we can find any info about the events and come up with a strategy. You comin', Sunset?"
"I'll catch up with you."
"Me too. The portal is about to close and I want to be there to watch it."
"The portals about to close? How?"
"Long story." I blink away before she can interrogate me. I watch as Sunset exits the building, gets her magic sucked out of her and Twilight runs off with 2 sets of magic as well as the portal magic as well.
"XAYVIER!" Sunset yells. I blink to beside her.
"Yes?"
"What happened?"
"You can figure it out without me." I smile. I blink to beside the girls and Sunset catches up.
"Girls. The portal is gone."
"What?!" they ask as they walk through the hallway.
"What do you mean the portal's gone?" Applejack asks
"I mean it's gone. It's closed. It's not there anymore." Sunset says.
"How'd that happen?
"I don't know," Sunset said as we entered the gym where my hideout was located. "But it has something to do with that twilight." She pointed her out. She was following her magic trapper around and getting dangerously close to my hideout.
"What in tarnation is she up to?" Applejack asked.
"I don't know. But leave it to me. She walks towards her. "Twilight, what have you been up to?" Sunset asks.
"Me? Oh, I was just, uh—" Twilight was stuttering when Indigo Zap gets in Sunset's face.
"Who wants to know?!" She questions.
"Um, we do." Rainbow Dash gets in Indigo's face.
"Whoa there girls." I push them apart. "The games haven't even started yet. So don't go competing already over who's the most obnoxious." They both glare at me while the rest of the main cast giggle. Just then Pinkie Pie goes up to Twilight,
"Hi. We haven't talked yet. I'm Pinkie Pie."
"I'm Twilight." She said as pinkie pie shook her hand so fast her hair and glasses fell down.
"I know." Pinkie Pie smiles. Twilight was just about to put her hair back up. "Oh don't do that. You look better with your hair down."
"Um... Really?" twilight blushes a bit.
"Yeah!" She nods. Just then I go and join Pinkie Pie
"Hey girls!" I say and Pinkie Pie hugs me.
"Hey, Xavy." Just then pinkie notices the necklace around Twilight neck.
"What's that?"
"It's sort of a spectrometer. I built it to track EM frequencies, but it can also contain anomalies." Twilight says. Pinkie has a blank look on her face and looks at me.
"it measures and traps things."
"Oh! Like the party?"
"Yes, But it doesn't look like much of a party to me," Twilight says
"I know, something is definitely missing." Pinkie Pie gasps. "Come on." And She zips both me and Twilight away.
"Hello, everyone! I'd like to take this opportunity to greet all of our visitors from Crystal Prep Academy and welcome them to CHS." Suddenly me, pinkie pie and Twilight come in with three different boxes.
"What in the world are these?" Twilight grunts as she finishes pushing them.
"Party cannons." Pinks and I say at the same time as we start to unwrap them.
"And lastly, I would like to recognize the twelve students that CHS has elected to compete. I don't think we could have chosen a better group to represent the excellence, sportsmanship, and friendship the games stand for." I took the place of derpy in the games.
"Um, are you sure this is a good idea?" Twilight asked as we prepared to fire.
"Not at all. FIRE IN THE HOLE!" I yell and everyone watches me and Pinkie blast the cannons. The confetti falls gently to the floor. Everyone smiles happily and begins to dance on the dance floor. Pinkie Pie began to glow pink as we high five.
"Ooh. Floaty!" She says as the magic gets sucked out of her and she falls back onto the ground. "aww... I am party-pooped." She said.
"Here." I grab a mana potion out of my backpack. She drinks it up and smiles and gets back to her normal energy.
"Thanks, Xavy!" After a little bit, feedback goes through the mic and the lights turn on.
"I'd like to thank Principal Celestia for her unconventional welcome. It's been four years since the last Friendship Games, but it feels as though nothing has changed. Canterlot High continues to pick its competitors in a popularity contest and Crystal Prep continues to field its top twelve students."
"SCREW YOU. THIS COULDN'T HAVE WAITED UNTIL AFTER THE PARTY?" I yell at her and a few people grunt their approval at my words. Even of few o the Crystal Prep students. Cinch glares at me and continues her speech.
"It is a comfort to know that even after so many years of losses, your school remains committed to its ideals, however misguided they may be. I wish you all the best of luck, regardless of the inevitable outcome."
"I'm sorry, Pinkie. I thought your party additions were really swell." Applejack comforts Pinkie.
"They definitely broke the ice," Fluttershy said.
"Even if at the end of it all it only chipped at it." Said rarity. only one crystal prep student was talking to the CHS students now."
"Oh. Sunset? Pinkie's magic just drained out of her. I gave her a mana potion to give her, her energy back. But I just thought you might want to know."
"What do you mean drained out of her?" Sunset asked concerned.
"Yeah. And hey. where is the other twilight?
"Oh. She's right... Uh, well, she was right here."
"Yeah." I look out the window. "It's getting late. I think the Crystal Prep students are sleeping in the school tonight. So that means I have to be more careful than usual getting out."
"Yeah." Rarity says. She then passes me a new costume. "Here. I made it to your specifications. There are metal plates in between the layers of clothing. It should be able to stop any sort of..." She shudders. "Knife that tries to hurt you. It should also be able to stop the most common type of bullet out there. Which, from my research has proved to be the 9mm. Anything bigger than that and you'll be suffering aftereffects."
"Thanks, Rarity. i'll see you girls in the morning." I take off my face mask and kiss Pinkie Pie, who blushes a deep pink. I sneak into my hideout and change. Waiting for everyone to leave.
