//------------------------------// // The World Hates Sunset In Particular. // Story: Portal Magic Gone Rogue? // by tam285 //------------------------------// Sunset felt weird. Not as in "something bad's gonna happen today and there's nothing you can do about it" weird. Not by a long shot. She felt physically weird. She groaned. "I swear to Celestia if I get up and fall to to the floor instantly, I'm not going to school today." She rolled out of bed only to find herself hitting her carpet. Sunset got up and standing on two legs felt unnatural. So, she went on all fours. It felt more comfortable and better for her spine. She paused, staring dead ahead her closet door. "If I look down and I'm a pony, I am going to scream." she looked down and she was, indeed a pony. And she did, in fact scream. Never in her life would she ever imagine using a phone with hooves, but here she was, struggling to type a single sentence into the group chat for magical emergencies. After about 5 minutes of attempts, she got out what she wanted to say, albeit with a few spelling mistakes that she couldn't be bothered to fix. magicaul emerginci my house quick Within seconds, everybody was online and typing. What about school? You're late and we're almost to first period. Twilight responded. Sunset didn't know whether to laugh, or cringe. Her phone had a voice message system, so she sent one of those. "Look, it doesn't matter what period you're in. I'm having a magical, and mental breakdown right now and need your help to at least try and fix it. Just tell Principle Celestia it's a magical emergency and you'll be back before last period, okay?" "Fine, but if you make me late for practice, you owe me $50." Sunset could hear Rainbow's slight annoyance through the phone, but it was reasonable. Sunset rolled her eyes. It doesn't matter right now about money or whatever else. Magical emergencies right now and I can't go to school unless it's fixed. The goverment will be on my ass for the second time since I've came here." That's when Sunset's phone died. 20 minutes later, hurried knocks came from her door and she checked the peephole, and thank God it was her friends. She did love her apartment, but playing her guitar for almost half an hour straight did something horrible to her brain. She sighed. "Before I let you in, please don't scream. My neighbours have had an earful already from when I woke up. Oh and, Fluttershy, please don't squeeze me to death or anything like that." With caution, Sunset opened her door, thank Celestia they didn't see her straightaway, but when they did, Fluttershy broke her promise and spine in multiple different locations. Rainbow burst into laughed before being greeted with a magical aura, grasping exactly $50 in it. Rainbow grabbed the money and stuffed it into her pocket. "Flutteeshy put me down!" Sunset managed to say through gritted teeth. "Ponies don't like being picked up." she moved her back legs until she was able to escape Fluttershy's wrath. She fell to the floor with a grunt and hopped on the sofa, next to her girlfriend. "Laugh it out." Sunset muttered. She felt a hand run through her mane and it was indeed her girlfriend, Twilight. She laid down and closed her eyes in pure bliss. She could tell what Rainbow was about to do, and she opened her eyes, and shook her head. Rainbow smirked and rolled her eyes and put her phone away. "You're no fun, Sunset." Rainbow scoffed. "Or maybe it's the fact that the Goverment can't find the world full of magical ponies, dragons, and a bazillion other stuff!" Twilight snapped, smirking a bit. Sunset sat upright, putting a hoof on Twilight's leg. "I don't know why the hell I'm a pony in this world, but it must be something wrong with the portal. Should we wait until tonight to get me into the school?" I think all we need to do is get you hidden, and when you're in the school, you can go to your lessons until the end of the day?" Twilight suggested. "The students will react with confusion and be a bit concerned, but overall, you'll be fine." AJ chuckled. "Yeah, after our cruise crashed, we all had to go through the portal to get back, so they won't be that scared of ya, Sunset!" Sunset rolled her eyes. "But do I even count as a student there? I'm a pony." Rarity shrugged. "I don't know, darling." Sunset rolled her eyes. "Geez, Rarity. Thanks for the reassurance." This earned a laugh from everybody, asides Rarity. "Jokes aside, how will I get in the school? Not exactly that I can walk up to the front doors, through the street." Rarity laughed. "I do have the cat bag that I use to carry Opal in." Sunset was annoyed. She put a hoof to her forehead. "If karma wants to be a bitch today, it can go ahead." She sighed. "Oh, and Twilight holds the bag." Rainbow groaned and Sunset gave her a shit eating grin. Rarity got out the bag and Sunset stepped in. Twilight appeared at the door just to give some last minute reassurance. She scratched behind her ear. "This'll be over before you know it." Sunset smiled and nodded. "Let's hope so." Rarity zipped up the back and gave it to Twilight. The bag itself was extremely light. The walk to school was awkward. She couldn't answer questions with people around not from her school and her friends kept cracking jokes about her. Not to mention, she had to go to school practically naked. Sunset wouldn't go to school all together if ponies hardly wore clothes in the first place. Finally, they were at the school. Thank god it was lunchtime, they could go to Principle Celestia immediately and tell her about the magical incident. As soon as the doors behind them Closed, Sunset practically ripped the door off the cat bag and hopped out. "Never. Again." She said, looking and Rarity. She laughed. "Sorry, darling! I had to!"
