//------------------------------// // The First Reunion // Story: Twilight’s Backstage Pass // by Lonely Fanboy48 //------------------------------// The sun rises on the first morning of the festival. The festival is open for people with backstage passes to come in. The Rainbooms, including Starlight Glimmer wake up early enough to get in some of the lines. However they decided to let Princess Twilight sleep in since Human Twilight wants to have quality time with her. It’s been almost thirty minutes that the Princess Of Friendship is sleeping inside Rarity’s RV until one of her friends came inside. “Twilight!” Sunset called as she makes her way to Twilight. “Twilight, it’s time to wake up.” The princess’s eyes slowly open but her body is still in a tired scenario. “Where is everyone?” She asked. “They head to the festival half an hour ago.” This made Twilight opened her eyes in surprise. “You mean they left without us?” “No. We agreed to go into groups of three since the festival is big.” Sunset grabbed the princess’s arm, lifting her on her feet while still in her pajamas. “The other Twilight is waiting outside for you, when you get dressed, we can get something to eat at the Starswirl Festival for breakfast.” Princess Twilight is at least happy that her counterpart is willing to spend time with her. And what awaits her in the Starswirl Festival could make her weekend in this world the best she’ll ever have. After Princess Twilight put on her usual clothes, she and Sunset came out of the RV. The Twilights and Sunset make their way to the entrance of the festival. Luckily for them, one of the lines aren’t as long as the others. “Wow, looks like the third line has less people then last time.” Sunset commented. “Guess that thirty minutes I slept was probably for the best.” Princess Twilight smiled. “Not to mention you didn’t over-sleep.” Human Twilight added. The three girls giggled as they waste no time and made their way to the third line of the entrance. There are only three people in front of Twilight and her friends but they’re not just ordinary people with backstage passes. Princess Twilight recognizes two of them while Human Twilight and Sunset Shimmer recognizes the girl with the green hair. “Wallflower Blush?” Princess Twilight guessed. “Derpy Hooves?” After the three girls from the front heard some of their names, they turned around to the Twilights and Sunset. “Twilights!? Sunset!?” Wallflower reacted in happiness. “Princess Of Friendship!” Derpy smiled as she gives Twilight a hug. “I can’t believe you’re here to hang out in the festival.” Sunset replied with her eyes wide. “Derpy had a spare backstage pass and she offered me to come along.” Wallflower showing off her backstage pass around her neck. “That’s really thoughtful.” Human Twilight looking at Derpy. “Yeah, I didn’t want one friend to be left behind.” Derpy scratched at the back of her head. As the six girls show their backstage passes to the security guard and one of the employees, they’re allowed to walk around in the festival do whatever they want as long as they follow the rules. Princess Twilight looked in her surroundings and saw so many stands not to mention the activities waiting for her. She remembered how big it was when she saw bits of it last night but now, it’s larger than she thought. Sunset and the others went to one of the stands where most of the food is at. They order hot dogs with buns and hash browns since they’re only available in the morning. They made their way to one of the wooden tables and sat down to eat their breakfast. “Wallflower Blush, who’s your friend?” Princess Twilight pointed at the girl with the alicorn pony shirt. “I’m Snow Flower.” The girl answered. “I’m a huge fan of all the bands in this festival.” “We’re going to find PostCrush after we’re done eating. Wanna join?” Wallflower offered as she eats one of her hash browns. “Actually, me and the Twilights are going to save that for later.” Sunset replied. “She wants to save the best for last, just for today.” Human Twilight rolled her eyes smiling. “And I’m sure other me wants to experience some of the Festival’s qualities.” “It is true.” Princess Twilight taking a bite of her hot dog. Wallflower Blush felt disappointed that she won’t get another chance to hang out with Princess Twilight like last year when they we’re on the beach. “So when are we going to see you?” Wallflower asked. “Maybe tonight when Vinyl Scratch is performing her music on stage.” Princess Twilight answered. “Ohhhh...tonight, that would easily make me happy.” The Princess Of Friendship found the tone from Wallflower really rough until Sunset fills her in. “Twilight, I think we might need to consider giving your friends a chance.” Princess Twilight remember the message Sunset wrote to her about the whole Memory Stone situation. Last year on the beach, the only things she did with Wallflower was finding turtles on the beach and seeing her garden behind the high school. She had the best time with her, even with the amount of time she had, going to places and knowing everything that happened when she was gone. “Okay, how about we do one activity before we split up?” Princess Twilight offered. “To be fair, it’s going to be a long day for all of us. Sunset, other me-” Just when Twilight was about to finish, Sunset placed her hand on the Princess’s thigh. “I’m still going to wait to see PostCrush tonight, and so should you.” She retorted until Human Twilight pulled her hand away from the Princess. “Just allow her to be with Wallflower and her friends, they will text us back, we’re staying far away from PostCrush, okay?” Sunset, despite most of her plans being changed, agrees since she wants to make her friends happy. “Okay.” She answered. “Look at the bright side Sunset, at least I’m enjoying my first time here.” Princess Twilight wrapped her arm around Sunset. “Expect this isn’t our first time here.” Sunset said. “You girls never hang out so much.” Snow Flower commented. “Oh, you have no idea. From where Twilight lives in her world, you would understand like I have.” Derpy replied. For the next five minutes, the six girls finished their breakfast and threw their plates and cutlery in the garbage. Wallflower and her friends take the Princess Of Friendship to find PostCrush, while Human Twilight and Sunset Shimmer go to a different place in the festival. While Princess Twilight is excited to see talented bands, she doesn't understand that other bands aren’t the same, when it comes to bad attitudes. A girl from a band of three girls is buying a taco from a stand. “Here’s your money. Your tacos are the best!” She cheered as she takes her taco from the seller. “You say that every time you buy a taco from my stand Sonata Dusk, will you please let it go?” The seller rolled her eyes but instead Sonata walked away while eating her taco. “Just like every time.” When Sonata sits down and is about to eat her taco, she looked around with the amount of people. “Adagio and Aria is going to love this! So many people are going to watch us perform!” She grinned with confidence. Just when she’s about to take a bite of her taco, she saw a girl with purple hair with the same outfit she wore during the Battle of the Bands a few years ago. She dropped her taco on her plate in disbelief and when the girl turned around, it was Twilight Sparkle! While the Princess didn’t recognize one of her rivals, Sonata definitely recognized her, big time! As Wallflower continue to take Twilight, Sonata immediately took out her phone and begins texting Adagio. “Adagio and Aria is going to hate this!” Sonata said in frustration.
