//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 // Story: THE WHITE PRIME OF EQUESTERIA // by OPTIMUSPRIMEG1 //------------------------------// James POV Once me and Sari exited the portal, we saw that Swoop and Warpath were waiting for us, Swoop was sitting on a rock while Warpath was looking at a datapad. "About time. Thought you two would never get back." Swoop said, getting up, and he and Warpath walked over to us. "Forgive us, but we were helping out a fellow Displaced, but anyway, how long were we gone for?" I asked them, curious on what part of the Equestria Girls timeline we were in now. "Not long, probably half an hour. Twilight and Spike are in the library with the others researching everything there is to know about this world." Warpath said as we entered Canterlot High. "Which is great for us seeing how we don't have to ask a human for information, though I think some of them might be in there for a while." I nodded my head in agreement as Sari let a small laugh, just as we were about to reach the library, we spotted two trouble makers, AKA, Snips and Snails. They had their phones out but didn't look like they were taking any pictures, in fact. They looked bored as hell. "Man, this stinks, if those losers weren't with her, we would have had plenty of embarrassing pictures of her. Maybe we should tell Sunset that we had no luck?" Snips asked Snails, "Um, maybe we shouldn't, remember what she said, we have, oh wait look! She just made a face after the printer blinded her! Take a picture now!" Snails whispered to Snips, both aiming their phones and taking pictures and chuckling. "Yes, now we just need some-Snips, why are you pointing behind me?" "Because of us." I said, causing Snails to turn around slowly, only to see me, Sari's, Swoops and Warpaths angry looks, I made a give me gesture with my hand, they both gave me their phones immediately, I crushed them with my hand, feeling a little bit of pain. "You two leave and tell Suns**t Shimmer to leave Twilight alone, or else." They both ran away, once they were far away, I grabbed my hand and I had to bite my tongue from screaming, I looked at it and saw it was bleeding with two large cuts. "James, that was stupid, you are not a giant robot anymore remember." Sari scolded me, looking at my hand, Warpath handed her a first aid kit. She grabbed it as we entered the library, seeing Twilight and the others reading various books, they all gave us a worried look the moment they saw my hand. "He's fine, just needs to be more careful next time." Warpath and Swoop left to go help Spike get more books as Twilight walked to me and Sari's table, "What happened?" "Saw Snips and Snails trying to take embarrassing pictures of you for Sunset. I crushed their phones, which resulted this." I said, pointing at nearly bandaged hand, then noticed the blood on the sleeve of my jacket, "Gonna have to get that washed, otherwise we might attract unwanted attention." "So, I managed to learn a lot about this world, like the first po-er, person made a lightbulb." Twilight said, correcting herself, "Oh, and the fact that dragons, griffons and any other creature that usually is in Equestria are noting more than myths." I nodded, "Good, you may need to know a lot if you want to get your crown back." Sari said, finishing up tending to my hand, "Also, I think I should enter the competition so that way our chances of getting the crown back are greater." I held my chin in thought, it did sound like a good idea, and Sunset couldn't really mess with her. I looked to Sari and nodded. "Sounds like a plan." I said, she gave me a confident smile while sticking her fist into the air, "I'll be sure to kick Sunsets a**." Sari said, "Hey, if we really want to increase our chances, why don't we have Arcee join-" before Swoop could finish that sentence, Arcee grabbed his shirt and forced him to look her in the eye. "Finish that sentence, and I'll be sure you will be in a world of pain." she said, causing Swoop to laugh nervously and back off. "Besides, I don't think I am very, convincing to be chosen as the winner." "That true." Warpath said quietly, "So, it is decided that both Sari and Twilight will enter the Canterlot High Fall Formal, which also means we have to keep a lookout for any one of Sunsets plans to get rid of them." Spike said, popping his head out of Twilights backpack. I nodded my head in agreement, "If we ever split up, this the group I want for both of them, Swoop, Arcee and Windblade are with Twilight and Spike, while me and Warpath are with Sari." they all gave their voice of agreements, "Good, now. Let's get back to studying." after that, we went back to reading books, everyone was intrigued by what was in them, except for me and Sari, both of were taught this stuff since we were kids. I noticed a strange sight, a car that was all black was in front of the school building, i tapped Sari's shoulder and pointed at the car. "Want to check it out?" she asked, I nodded, we both left the library and were about to exit the main doors when a kid entered the car, most likely the owner, and took off. I shook my head while chuckling, "Guess we were getting paranoid, with the whole war and everything." "I agree, maybe we are too stressed." I said, then noticed that the sun was about to set, "Let's get back to the others and get some sleep." she nodded as we went back into the library. "Alright, enough book time, we have a big day tomorrow, with getting everybody to vote for either Sari or Twilight." they all nodded and we were about to exit when Spike spoke up. "Um, where are supposed to stay?" we all froze, a look of realization on our faces. I slammed my head against the door, groaning in frustration. "I forgot that we have no place to stay, and if we stay here, the school might consider us homeless and call the cops." I said, "But, then again, they didn't when Twilight did it, so I guess we could stay in the library." with that said, everyone went to find a spot to sleep, Spike showed Twilight the book bed he made while everyone was busy, and she laid down on that, Swoop decided to sleep in a corner of the room, Arcee and Windblade slept by the heaters, Warpath chose to continue reading about weapons and military vehicles. Me and Sari slept next each other, using my jacket as a blanket. "You know, this isn't so bad, I get to sleep next to my loving wife while the stars shine on us." Sari just let out a giggle, "You charmer. But if we want to keep our cover up we may need to say we are boyfriend-girlfriend." she said, a small put on her face, "If somebody decides to hit on me, I might punch them." I just gave a small laugh and kissed her forehead. "Maybe, for now, let's sleep." with that both of us fell asleep.
