The Shadow

Who lies in the dark

The 14 girls waited at the hospital for the doctor to return with some news. Fear filled their heart, fear for their friend who was lying between life and death. After a horrifying hour of waiting the nurse finally came. "Will she be fine?" Sunset asked, her body shacked and her heart beat, waiting to some answer from the nurse.

"She will be fine." Those words were like a warm hugs to Sunset's ears. Sunset and the others sighed in relief as the nurse was confused to see so many twins in the same place at the same time. "But she is in a coma." The relief was gone and sorrow filled the air. The nurse led the girls to the room where they saw the green haired girl sleeping, as machines were connected to her body, keeping her alive. Sunset went closer to her friend. Tears fell from Sunset's eyes and landed on Wallflower's hand.

"I am sorry," Sunset told the unconscious girl, "It's all my fault. If I wasn't so mean, you would not use the stone. If not me, this demon would not track you and you will-" Princess Twilight and her 'twin' took Sunset aside as the others stayed in the room.

"It's not your fault," Twilight told Sunset as she held her hand and cleared the tears from her eyes, "If I didn't open the portals, maybe the demon never came. If it's anyone's fault, it mine."

"No," Princess Twilight "If it's anyone's fault, it is mine. I am the one who banishes the demon to your world, I am the one who brought magic to your world." Sunset and the Twilights hugged each other as they shared the pain and the fault. "Well, now we cannot blame ourselves. We must find a way to stop it from continue." As the three girls went and rejoined the others in the room as a shadowy figure looked at them.

The girls decided that everyone will take the counterpart of each other, so there will be no confusion from the families. Rarity took Pony Fluttershy, Applejack took Pony Rainbow Dash, Pinkie took Princess Twilight, Fluttershy took Pony Rarity, Rainbow Dash took Pony Applejack, Twilight took Pony Pinkie and Sunset took Starlight to her house and in the morning, they will meet at Twilight's house.


It was 7:00 am in the morning. Celestia didn't drink her coffee yet and she had a lot to do. Parents meeting, test schedules and now this, double of her top students. Celestia wasn't shocked at all to see this and the girls were confused. "Well, what happened? New monsters, a hole in our world?" Celestia asked in a calm tone.

"This time," Sunset said as she sat on the table and her face fell in sorrow "It's could be the end of the world."

Princess Twilight nodded and explained all to Celestia, "You see, a demon from our world has somehow arrived at your world and he is sharing a body with someone, so we have to know who is the host so we could separate him from the demon and then we will destroy it."

"Very well," Celestia took a file from her desk and gave it to Princess Twilight, "take this and go to the guidance counselor, but I have to ask for each of you to stay with your double. If this demon is possessing a student, he will be aware of it and we will be aware of his presence." The 14 girls nodded and left the office.

"Well if we have to stay in double trouble mode," Rarity giggled to her joke and Pony Rarity joined her, "Then we must find a way to tell us apart."

Pony Rarity agreed and smiled to her double in excitement, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Shopping time!!!" The two Raritys jumped in the air while they held hands. It was like looking in the mirror, but the noise of the girls excitement of buying clothes was so loud, it was hard to think it was a mirror.

"Very well," Princess Twilight raised a thumb and smiled, "In the meantime, Sunset and Starlight you will take the file to the guidance counselor and we will try to give ourselves attention and watch for something weird." The two groups nodded and put their hands in the middle like a soccer group will do before an important game and split away.


Twilight and Princess Twilight walked down the hall and Princess Twilight told her about some of her adventures. As the two laughed about the time Princess Twilight created a food monster because she didn't know what to buy for Pinkie Pie, a yellow boy with spiked blue hair and a leather jacket bumped into her.

"Twilight?" The blue haired boy asked as he helped Princess Twilight to get up of the floor, "What are you doing here?"

"Flash!!" Princess Twilight's cheeks blushed as she played with her hair " I am.. That's mean... I mean hi."

"She is helping me with psychological research about twins in society." Twilight smiled nervously.

"Oh cool." Flash smiled.

Now it was Twilight's turn to ask Flash, "What are you doing here? The school isn't open until 8:00 am."

"Practice with the band. Well, I have to go" Flash walked away as he waved to the two Twilights and walked away. Princess Twilight just stood there and continued to wave as she blushed and her cheeks turned red.

"Isn't he dreamy Twi?" Princess Twilight asked as the two girls went outside the school and went to Twilight's house.

"We maybe identical but our taste is different," Twilight smirked. The identical pair laughed all the way home.


Sunset and Starlight walked down the hallways as Starlight started to give Sunset a list of characters that the darkness will be interested in. After a time Sunset wrote all the characters they need to match for suspects. "So we need, an outcast, someone who cannot stand up for himself, someone who is being bullied and wants revenge."

"Yeah, that sound right," Starlight said as the two arrived at the guidance counselor office and they were shocked. The two girls stood in front of the counselor door. It was a wooden door like the door of Celestia's office, but the name was what shocked them, at the door was written Professor Stygian, guidance counselor.
