//------------------------------// // Magical Hunt And Slumber Party // Story: Twilights Collide // by Lonely Fanboy48 //------------------------------// The two Twilight's followed Sunset to her home, which was a motel. “So, this is where you live in this world?” Princess Twilight wondered. “I really don’t have much to offer, but I’m okay with it.” Sunset nodded before explaining about how their trip at Camp Everfree went. “So, you're saying that there's magic everywhere in this world?” Starlight interrogated. “Well, we really don’t know why and where it's coming from. I thought it was in the Everfree Forest, but Sunset thinks that it came from somewhere else. I have looked everywhere at Canterlot High to see if there was any magic, yet it's still very hard to find.” Human Twilight explained. Princess Twilight agreed. “Maybe you're right, Twilight...” “I am?” Human Twilight replied as Princess Twilight began to explain. “In our world, the Tree of Harmony provided us with magic. That’s how my friends and I saved Equestria. If there's magic in the Everfree Forest in our world, then there's also magic in this world.” Starlight Glimmer chimed in. “I don’t think this isn’t right at all. Maybe we should go to the Everfree Forest.” “What do you mean?” Dragon Spike questioned while Starlight continued her explanation. “Both worlds might be similar, all right. But, I really don’t think magic just came here for no reason. I know I didn’t learn about the Everfree Forest, but I can help you to find magic… that is, IF there is magic there.” “Maybe you're right.” Doggy Spike wondered himself. “I mean, we got the necklaces, but that wasn't the reason why Everfree Forest had magic there. Maybe we should go there again to see if there's still magic there”. Since Starlight’s idea was the closest, and most logical, they get prepared for their second trip to Everfree Forest. Sunset talked to Princess Twilight about getting caught with her and her counterpart out in the open, but Twilight was a step ahead by having a hood so she won’t get noticed. “So this is what Everfree Forest looks like in this world...?” Starlight looked around. “Yeah. I really don’t know a lot about this world. But, Sunset Shimmer and… Twilight knows this place.” Princess Twilight mentioned, until she and Human Twilight awkwardly looked at each other. “I still can’t get used to this...” Princess Twilight whispered to Spike, who shrugged. Sunset showed them the Crystal Cave as well as where the magic gems were, and told them about when she, Human Twilight, and her friends did during their Camp Everfree trip. “Are you sure magic came into this cave?” Princess Twilight asked concerningly. “Yes,” Sunset nodded. “I know it was hiding in this cave when we got here. I really don’t know if we can find anything here anymore...” Starlight had another idea. “Then, I guess we should go and search everywhere in this forest. Maybe there might be something you missed during your trip.” “Good idea. We should split up. Princess Twilight and Spike will go search in the forest. Me, Starlight, Spike and Twilight will go to camp to find any magic. We really don’t want Timber and Gloriosa to see two Twilights.” Sunset suggested. The group split up to find more magic in Everfree Forest. Sunset’s group headed for the Camp Everfree site, when they spotted Gloriosa Daisy. “Well, hi!” Gloriosa said. “I really didn’t know you were coming to visit so soon...” Sunset greets back. “It's great to see you again. You see, we might have left something around the camp, so do you think we should check... if that's okay?” Gloriosa nodded, giving them permission to check the camp, as if she owed them a favor for saving Camp Everfree from Filthy Rich, and probably saved her life from getting corrupted by magic. Meanwhile, Princess Twilight and Spike were checking the forest. Yet again, they had not much luck regarding. “You know, Sunset should give us a map on where to go in this forest… that is, if she had one...” Spike said, looking around. “You think?” Twilight replied under pressure. “I just feel that this is a bad idea. Even with this hood, I can’t take this stress.” Spike tried to calm Twilight down. “Twilight, it’s going to be fine. I know we didn’t do anything since we came back, but we still need something to find out about this.” “Ok but I still don’t think I can handle hanging out with Twilight because of everything that happened when I was gone. And… Flash Sentry.” Twilight paused for a second, lowering her head down. “Maybe we can talk to Sunset after this...” Spike looked up to her. “I hope nothing gets out of hand..” Suddenly, a loud chop echoed through the forest, which startled Twilight. She attempt to grab Spike to run away, until she saw a silhouette of a deadly axe. It was actually Timber cutting some wood. Sunset and the others couldn’t find anything in camp, so they tried to find Princess Twilight. Indeed, she was still not too familiar with what Starlight does, so she intended to get an insight. “So your name is Starlight, right?” Sunset asked Starlight. “Yeah” Starlight answered. Still, she was nervous about what meeting a new friend before Twilight, but she has gotten used to it. Starlight recalled her time with Twilight. “It was better than I thought. Before I met Twilight, I really thought that Cutie Marks would ruin friendship, just like my friendship with Sunburst. “Who’s Sunburst?” Sunset asked further. “A pony who abandoned me since childhood, and I made very personal mistakes when Twilight came to my little town.” Starlight replied regretfully. “Geez,” Sunset had no idea. “I didn’t know you were in this kind of wrong between your friend. I was a former student of Princess Celestia, but I didn’t get what I wanted. So, I decided to go on my own by going into this world. But now, I’m learning more about friendship and getting better, thanks to a certain princess I know. I really didn’t know better, to be honest, that there were other ways of friendship. She stopped me from making things worse, and when I was down and out, she gave me another chance. Now, I know a lot about this, but you really surprised me about your past.” “I guess my past really does haunt me. Honestly, I really don’t want to remember what I did…. Starlight paused before looking back at Sunset. “Say, are you ever going to come back to Equestria?” “I really don’t know” Sunset shrugged, looking up. “I know that’s where I came from, but I never made any friends when I changed. I made a lot of friends in this world because I know them better. Then again, Princess Twilight is the only pony I can be friends with since she can only be in this world. But… Twilight in this world transferred to CHS, so I really don’t think our Princess should be around and she also spends her time at home since she knows her friends more.” Starlight gave some thought. “Well maybe you could think about it. Because things probably won’t be the same if you won’t return. Celestia from Equestria really misses you, and even if you didn’t get what you wanted, you can still do it again...” Out of nowhere, Human Twilight came to them telling them that they looked everywhere, and there’s still no sign magic in Camp Everfree. They stopped and were about to find Princess Twilight, but Spike informed to the group that Timber was in the forest and they all freaked out. They rushed to the woods and tried to find her before she got caught. Meanwhile, Back with Twilight… “I’m really getting tired of this. We should be heading back, Spike...” Princess Twilight complained, tired of finding no magic. Spike shushed her. “Twilight! Be quiet, or we’ll get caught....” Twilight retorted. “Spike, we ran away from someone. I’m sure they-” Timber suddenly bumped into Princess Twilight, who was now frozen in place that she got caught from someone she doesn't know. Timber was happy to see her once again. However, it didn't seem to be the same Twilight he thought she was. “Twilight! It’s great to see yo! Wait, where are your glasses?” Timber asked, but Twilight was still afraid to say anything since she knew that Human Twilight recognized him, but she doesn’t. She tried to at least utter a word, but she was too shocked to even say a two-letter word. Sunset saw what was happening with Princess Twilight and Timber, then she told Human Twilight and Starlight to get Princess Twilight out of there. Sunset called Timber in order to distract him. Starlight quickly grabbed Princess Twilight and pulled her behind the trees. After Human Twilight got into Princess Twilight’s position, she nervously greeted to Timber. “Hi, Timber.” Human Twilight awkwardly. Timber was slightly confused because of the outfit she was recently wearing. “What? What happened to your hood and other clothes?” he wondered. Human Twilight had to come up with a quick reply. “Oh… uh, some trick I made up. It was one of my clones that I wanted to mess around with for a little, and then… here you were....” “But If your clone is gone, then she should disappear with smoke, shouldn't she?” Timber explained. “Minor experiment set back?” she uttered. Timber gave off a giggle for Twilight messing with him a bit. Sunset came and explained to Timber why they came back to Everfree forest. After hearing it, he nodded, saying that he might help them soon before his work. After giving them his phone number and saying his goodbye, Starlight got Princess Twilight out of the woods. “I think I have leaves on my clothes,” she said while everyone laughed. “Did you find any magic?” “No...” Sunset shook her head. “Don’t worry, Princess, We'll find it. And if it works out, maybe we should call our friends and hang out at the Coffee shop...” Human Twilight smiled at her Princess counterpart, despite still feeling weird. Princess Twilight nodded. “Sure...It will be fun...” They both walked over to Sunset. “Can me and you just hang out instead?” “Come on, ‘Twilight’,” Sunset said. “You have to know your counterpart so we can find the magic. This is very serious, especially about “Flash Sentry”...” “What do you mean?” Twilight asked. “I’m going to be sorry about this, but I told him to kind of get over with Twilight...” Sunset braced herself. Twilight overreacted for a second until Sunset and the other’s calm her down and tell her. They said that they will work this out at a later time. They leave to go to the Coffee Shop to join the others. “So, what are we going to do?” Doggy Spike said. “I don’t know yet.” Sunset said. They got inside the Coffee Shop, where Sunset’s Friends were there waiting for them. “Hey! Princess Twilight is back!” Pinkie Pie shouted in excitement until her friends quickly covered her mouth. “Pinkie! Don’t let everyone know this!” Rainbow Dash warned Pinkie Pie. Sunset and the others sat down with her friends and talked about the situation going on. At first, they had no clue what she mentioned in her whole story, but they had to think it through. “So you need Princess Twilight to help us since there's magic coming somewhere and you can’t find it?” Applejack replied. “It’s really hard for us to find it. We had to come back to Everfree Forest to see if there’s magic coming from there. Oddly enough, I was wrong about coming from somewhere else...” Sunset explained. “But darling, who’s that by Twilight?” Rarity pointed at Starlight Glimmer. “I needed some help because even I can’t find where Sunset is looking for myself. And if the magic gets more powerful, then I don’t think we can handle it. So I need Starlight to pony up in order to help us.” “Pony Up?” Starlight never heard the term in her life. Rainbow Dash clued her in. “It’s something we do in this world.” “But how am I going to do that?” Starlight exclaimed. “It’s the magic of Friendship that does it,” Human Twilight said. “And we do that by embracing are magic using these geodes. They were from the crystal cave, and they gave us super powers.” Princess Twilight was amazed with the geodes the mane Seven had. “Wow! That's unbelievable. These must be the Elements of Harmony in this world!” “Yeah and not only that,” Rainbow Dash boasted confidently. “I can go faster than anyone. I love my super powers!” “You said that three times!” Fluttershy replied, annoyed. Sunset had to ensure that the whole secret had to stay quiet. “Twilight, we really don’t want anyone to know this. Unlike your world, the people in this world are more normal and smart to see us.” (Meanwhile, Derpy tried to fill her cone with ice cream, but she missed.) Well, only the people who know us, but not everyone in the city. I mean, I just don’t want the popularity that way since I’m from Equestria as well.” “Well, that’s something we don’t have in Equestria” Dragon Spike said sarcastically until he was picked up by Rarity. “Awwwww….It’s great to see you again, you adorable little puppy.” Rarity petted and played with him. Doggy Spike, who’s on Fluttershy’s knees, looked confused. “So, you love Rari-” Doggy Spike was interrupted as a Dragon Spike came off of Rarity’s hands and covering his counterpart mouth. “Please don’t say that in front of her!” he pleaded. Though, almost everyone pretty much knew that Spike has a crush on Rarity, or at least Dragon Spike does. “Geez! You don’t have to be personal.” Spike rolled his eyes. “Princess Twilight, are you getting along with our Twilight?” Fluttershy uttered out of nowhere. They all gazed at both Human and Princess Twilight. “I really don’t think we can handle this. I’m still in a tangle with this, and I can’t even say anything to her because this is the strangest thing that has ever happened so far.” Princess Twilight retorted. The girls looked at each other until Pinkie Pie hopped around. “How about… we should have a slumber party at Twilight’s house!” She said. “Oh no! no! no! no! no! I can’t have a girl who’s like me in my house! What if some of my parents or siblings might see her?” Human Twilight said. Fluttershy had a plan of her own to resolve. “Maybe I can bring my friend Tree Hugger to distract your family, and you can take Twilight in your room. “Well, I guess it could work. I can even show Twilight my books and lab...” Human Twilight decided to agree with the idea, and everyone cheered for the slumber party at Twilight’s. Princess Twilight shook her head in shame. “Why do I always get in myself in predicaments like this?” ]After everyone set up their items and sleeping bags at Twilight’s house, the slumber party was in full swing. Fluttershy and Rarity were playing around, making cute faces with the two Spikes. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were teaching Starlight how to use her hands by playing a video game. Applejack, Tree Hugger, and Sunset Shimmer were showing them their laptops, while Human Twilight showed Princess Twilight her books and inventions. “Those 2 Spikes are cute even if their Counterparts...” Fluttershy couldn't help but smile in a cute way. “I know. They are so adorable, Darling.” Rarity agreed, Scratching Spike’s ear. Of course, he was in love every time she did that, eyes turning to hearts at every gaze. Spike who’s by Fluttershy had to wonder why, showing little jealousy. “Wait, aren't I supposed to be with Rarity?” “Well, you don’t have to… if you don’t want to...” Fluttershy said to him. Pinkie tried giving a tutorial to Starlight, who would still have a problem with her hands. “Ok, so these are your fingers. You use them to touch something...” “I think she knows how to do that in Princess Twilight’s world, Pinkie.” Rainbow Dash chimed in, giving Starlight the controller in order to teach her how to play the game. “Don’t worry, I’ll take it easy on you...” Pinkie whispered to Starlight. “Don’t trust her, she hates losing!” Princess Twilight looked astounded by the amount of being old she has been. “That’s look really impressive. In my world, I have a lot of books because I love reading. And, I do spells to save Equestria, amongst doing other things. I even have a Castle!” “That’s actually pretty sweet that you’re a Princess in your world. I wish I was a Pony like you so I can do all that.” Human Twilight replied. Princess Twilight nodded, trying to give her counterpart sympathy. “Yeah...” In the meantime, The Dazzlings were spying through a window. Sure enough, they caught sight of their major rivals. “That’s them alright,” Adagio smiled deviously. “Tomorrow, we will destroy them in the woods before we’ll be able to take over this world.” “In the woods?” Aria Blaze scoffed before she saw two Twilights in the same room. “Wait a second, there’s two of them...” “Interesting...” Adagio gave off an astounded and anticipated look. “ Maybe we should get those Twilights away from her friends to level the playing field. And at the right moment, we'll use our Pendants to finally end the Rainbooms once and for all.” “Can we go now? You said we’ll get Tacos after this...” Sonata Dusk chimed in abruptly, despite Aria’s groan. “Ok. we're done for the night let's go.” Adagio rolled her eyes as The Dazzlings walked away from Twilight’s House. “Hey, do you want to see my lab?” Human Twilight asked. “Sure!” Princess Twilight nodded until Rainbow Dash is groaned. “Uhh come on! We were just about to watch the Daring Do movie.” “Okay, fine. After the movie, we will go to my lab if we have time...” Human Twilight said. They both agreed and came down with her friends to watch the Daring Do movie.
