Twilight’s Backstage Pass

by Lonely Fanboy48


Sparkle Surprise

Wallflower Blush along with her friends take Princess Twilight to the Backstage Lounge where most of the bands and fans get a beverage while relaxing.

“Are you sure PostCrush is here?” The Princess Of Friendship asked.

“I’m sure. Usually PostCrush spend their time here whenever they get a break.” Snow Flower replied.

“We haven’t seen them in ten minutes.” Derpy added.

“Well it’s the only option to find PostCrush in the festival.” Wallflower finished.

The four girls looked at each other before they enter the lounge itself. While it didn’t took them the whole day to find where the most famous band is located, it doesn’t change the fact that they might not be in the lounge. In order to find out, Twilight along with her friends enter the lounge.

Then Sonata Dusk along with Aria Blaze rushed up on the stage and saw Twilight from behind.

“Oh great! She’s back!” Aria clenching her fist in rage until Sonata covered her mouth.

“Shhh! Don’t let us see us!” Sonata repiled. “We don’t want her to see us!”

Aria tried to calm herself despite that fact one of her rivals ruined her life years ago. “Then what are we going to do?” Aria retorted.

Then a sound came from Aria and Sonata’s phone. When they looked at their phone, they got a tweet from Adagio to head back to their truck immediately. They decided to make their way since they all know their leader always has a plan whenever something is coming in their way.

Meanwhile Twilight and the others enter the Backstage Lounge and they saw PostCrust sitting in one of the seats by the tables. While Kiwi Lollipop is taking a drink while listening to one of her songs from her phone, Supernova Zap is taking care of her dog she calls, Princess Thunder Guts.

“She’s here!” Derpy pointed.

“Well, that didn’t take as long as I thought.” Twilight smiled.

“What are you going to say to them?” Wallflower asked.

“Not sure. I know Sunset Shimmer is going to be shaking once she finds out about my encounter but I don’t know what to ask them. If they came to the beach last year, I would feel the same way.”

Just when Twilight is about to think about her choice, Snow Flower placed her hand on the Princess’s shoulder. “Just say it’s a pleasure to meet you. It’s not that hard to give them your introduction.”

This immediately gave Twilight the understanding of her next move. She did get Sunset’s message of what happened with the time loop situation, but it still didn’t give her the interest in PostCrush. However when she remembered when her friends told her about who’s here for the weekend, the only way to get the interest into others in this world is to see their impression for the first time.

The Princess Of Friendship took her steps while her friends from behind follow her. She stands in front of PostCrush as she makes her first impression.

“Excuse me.” Twilight spoke which caught the attention from Supernova Zap. She poked on Kiwi which caused her to take off her earmuffs. When the two members of PostCrush put their attention on Twilight in silence, Twilight made her next move. “One of my friends told me about you and I was interested. She’s a huge fan and she told me I was going to love your band once you perform.”

Kiwi and Supernova looked at each other after hearing Twilight. “Who’s your friend?” Kiwi asked.

“Sunset Shimmer.” Twilight answered.

Then another silence came from PostCrush when they heard the name Sunset Shimmer. In their last reunion, they’ve remembered she and Pinkie Pie was the reason why they made the choice to do another reunion after they helped them. They stand up and looked closely to Twilight’s eyes which causes the princess to feel uncomfortable.

“Are you...one of her friends?” Supernova asked which made Twilight nodded.

“But you’re not wearing glasses.” Kiwi added.

“This is not looking good.” Wallflower whispered to her friends.

“Sunset’s not going to like this!” Derpy whispered back.

Twilight just put herself in a predicament she’s been through last year back on the beach. She didn’t want to make the same mistakes that happened in Crystal Prep when she encountered Principal Cinch.

“Okay, the thing is, I’m a counterpart from Equestria who’s a princess and the Twilight you saw before lives in this world.” She lowered her tone to make sure no one in the lounge can’t hear her. “I just want my friends to feel a whole lot better when I meet bands like you...I never met you girls yet.”

After the princess finished her honestly, this made PostCrush laughed which surprises Twilight and her friends. “Why are you two laughing?” Snow Flower wondered.

“Don’t be concerned, we understand what is going on.” Kiwi said.

“What do you mean?” Twilight asked.

“Sunset told us everything about not being perfect while also something about Equestrian magic.” Supernova recalled.

“Equestrian magic?” Wallflower blinked.

“We have something she called the Time Twirler that allowed us to do a time loop.”

Princess Twilight couldn’t believe that PostCrush, the band Sunset is talking about caused the whole time loop situation. Even if she's aware of it, it was hard for her to process that a band found something that came from Equestria. But then when she realized that the Memory Stone and the Storm King’s magic came into Sunset’s world from different places, she can only think if another group or person would do the same thing in the future.

“PostCrush.” Princess Twilight responded. “I understand where you're coming from but my friend went through three long weeks because of you. Granted you gave her chances to see you perform but still.” While PostCrush are stunned from what they’re hearing, Wallflower and her friends let the princess do the talking. “While what you did isn’t as bad as what Sunset experienced, perfection takes so much time and effort. Yes, I know I didn’t see you perform yet but when I was part of…Sunset’s band years ago, we had so many problems.”

“Wait, Sunset and her friend Pinkie Pie has a band of their own?” Kiwi asked.

“Yes. I may never got caught up from their band since I left, but I’m sure they’ve went through so many stops to make their band perfect. When I see you two, you’re desperate for perfection to make your comeback, an actual comeback for your whole reunion.”

When Twilight finally stopped herself, Kiwi and Supernova didn’t except Twilight, who’s not the same Twilight they saw from before, giving them a lesson about bands. Not to mention they’re talking to a princess.

“Twilight, thanks for being kind. You have no idea how we felt before Sunset went through everything we put her through.” Supernova placing her dog on the chair.

“Also it’s a pleasure to meet you in person. If we meet someone who lives in a different world, we would respect them nonetheless.” Kiwi added. “I’m curious, are you going to watch us tonight?”

“Yes, it’s something Sunset wants me to do when she gave me this backstage pass.” The princess showing her pass around her neck. “Don’t worry, perfection isn’t what I’m expecting.”

“Well that’s a relief.”

“Trust me, your going to enjoy it, especially when we're going to perform again tomorrow.” Supernova added.

Twilight received a hug from PostCrush while her friends from behind are happy to see their princess friend made more friends like before. After the Princess broke the hug, she turned around to her friends.

“Wallflower, can you go text Sunset now, I want to find her. I want you to spend your time with PostCrush.” The Princess closing her eyes with a smile on her face.

“That’s fine by us.” Wallflower taking out her phone.

“When Sunset responds back, I’ll take you. I know where to go in this place.” Snow Flower offered.

As Twilight and her friends take a seat in the lounge by the band PostCrush, Wallflower texts Sunset that one of her friends are going to send Twilight to her as soon as possible.
