//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: Pinkie Pie // Story: Equestria Girls: New Ghost Rider // by BROLY MUI //------------------------------// Twilight knocks on Principal Celestia’s door waiting for an answer. “Come in!” said Celestia as Twilight enters like a princess... pony I guess. “How may I help you?” That question stopped Twilight literally as she tries to talk but the words that comes out from her mouth are. “Uh...Ugh...Phew...” Twilight’s words were just weird making Celestia drop the file she was reading and question her with gestures. “My name’s Twilight Sparkle, I’m new here and... well, I understand that Fluttershy found a crown yesterday at night and gave it to you.” “Yes!” said Celestia as she stands up and walks to the drawer. “I've had Vice Principal Luna put it somewhere for safekeeping. No idea how it ended up in the front lawn. Were you interested in running for Princess of the Fall Formal this year?" "Uh, no... not exactly... the truth is... well, the truth is I... you see, the crown is actually... Princess of the Fall Formal?" asked Twilight as Celestia marks Twilight in the calendar when is the Formal. "It's Canterlot High's big fall dance." "Like the Grand Galloping Gala!" "The Grand Galloping Gala?" "Oh... uh... it was a big deal at my old school." "And was there a princess?" "Yes, but she wasn't exactly a student." said Twilight as Celestia shows the last winners of the crown and the last 3 winners was Sunset Shimmer. "Here at Canterlot High, the students select one of their peers to represent them, she receives the crown at the Fall Formal." said Celestia as Twilight starts to think, she takes her bag and leaves asking one last question to Celestia. "Hmm... You asked me if I was interested in running for Princess. Can anybody run?" "Yes! You just need to need the head of the Fall Formal planning committee know you'd like to be on the ballot. Was there anything else?" "Um... Nope! That was it!" "Well if you need anything else, my door is always open." said Celestia as she closes her door and Spike pops his head out. "Twilight, why didn't ya just tell her the crown was yours and ask for it back? asked Spike. "Oh, I was going to, but imagine if one of them showed up in Equestria saying they came from a place filled with tall, fleshy, bipedal creatures with these? We'd thing they were crazy!" said Twilight making weird movements that were sort of unnatural as a nerd kid called Micro Chips, looks at her and walks away after what he's seeing, it was like if Twilight was a psycho completely. "Hmm, you make a good point." said Spike. "Looks like if I want my crown back, I’ll have to become princess of the Canterlot Fall Formal. So that’s what I’m gonna do !" screamed Twilight very happy. "Oh yeah, and how exactly do you plan on doing that?" asked Spike. "I HAVE NO IDEA!" said Twilight as he thinks that his idea is better. As the bell rang, everyone was getting out of their classes and the halls were full. Timeskip Maverick was shown to be seated in Flash’s table as they were practicing they’re new song. Maverick was checking on his phone since he was bored but he was checking the news as more reports of Ghost Rider appeared calling him many names: Robot Rider, The Leyend, El Fuego, The Skull Head, The Matchstick and The Burning Driver. “Is it normal that this Ghost Rider fella is a celebrity. Look how many names he has.” Maverick shows his phone to another rocker which was Brawly Beats. “For now it is, you’ve gotten addicted to him.” “More like angry. That guy is trying to steal my car’s look! Even there’s people telling me we use the same jacket!” “Forget it, we know you aren’t the Ghost Rider, if you were you were more of a Ghost Rocker.” said Flash, as Maverick puts his feet in the table. “Flash, I’ve ran illegal races to get money for me and Duke, racing is another specialty of mine and HE’S TRYING TO STEAL MY DRIFT!!!” Maverick looks to another table, and sees Duke with the Crusaders and others from their class, making Maverick smile. There was a tone from a guitar out of place, as Maverick sees Flash looking at Twilight walk with Fluttershy. “Oooooooooo... what’s wrong Flashy boy? Found the Twilight Sparkling you?” “W-What do you mean?” asked Flash with a tint of red, as the group quickly understood. “I’m saying that you just found your 2nd girl.” “You’re saying a crush in her? You’ve gone mental.” “Then why does that look remembers me when you fell in love with Sunseg Shimmer, is the same exact look. Why not take her to the Fall Formal.” “I don’t even know her name!” “Twilight Sparkle.” “Oh that was easy.” “Yeah... mind if I... talk to her and tell him how much you rock?” “Yeah... I mean no!” “Too late you said yeah.” “Flash consider this a win, you can go a step further.” said another friend which was Thunderbass, as Maverick walks away. “Oh and for the record, I was kidding over telling her about you. You worry about that, I have to talk to her about something... and I’m not stealing her!” Maverick walks to Twilight’s table with Fluttershy as he seats in it. “So, what are two talking about?” “I was just telling Twilight where is the Head of the Party Commitee.” said Fluttershy. “Which is?” asked Twilight as Fluttershy says the next few words a little bothered. “In the gym.” “Fluttershy, are you ok?” asked Maverick as she nods. “Yeah, is just the two of us don’t get along.” “Well, Twilight and I will go to meet her, I’ll take you there.” “Ok.” said Twilight as they finish eating and Maverick leads them to the gym. They enter the gym as Twilight looks around as Maverick puts both hands in his jacket. “She is most of the time here when not in class.” told Maverick to Twilight who smiles, until they heard a scream. “Incoming!” they saw confetti coming out of nowhere, as they fall on Twilight and Spike but not on Maverick who moved out of the way… he’s used to this. Twilight and Spike got off from it. Then the one who threw it which was a pink girl with pink puffy hair got a balloon from her skirt and started to fill it with air. Hi my name's Twilight Sparkle and... Pinkie Pie?" asked Twilight as Pinkie's balloon releases all the air it had inside and blew her mouth away almost her entire face. "Are you psychic?" asked Pinkie as she grabs Twilight and pushes her almost to the ground. "Uh, no, I don't think sooooo... unless of course is something you can do here." said Twilight as Pinkie drops her. "Eh. Not usually." said Pinkie as she grabs a yellow balloon and started to blow it up. "Fluttershy said this is were I'd find the head of The Fall Formal planning committee." said Twilight as Pinkie stops to blow the balloon and ties it. "Fluttershy huh? Don't let the whole shy think fool you, she can be a real meanie." said Pinkie mad. "You two aren't friends?" asked Twilight as Pinkie ignores the question. "Waited a bit to get your name on the ballot huh? Dance is day after tomorrow." said Pinkie. "I'm brand new here." said Twilight. "OOOH! I thought you didn't look familiar." said Pinkie as she starts to check on Twilight. “Though, now that I'm really lookin' at you...” she stops checking her and later talked to her in doubt. “Do you have a twin sister who lives in the city, has a pet dog named Spike that looks just like that one?” she pointed at Spike who played with a balloon. “Uh, maybe?” Twilight affirmed as Pinkie shrugged it off. “Thought so.” “Pinkie why did you come with such theory?” Maverick asked her annoyed. “She looked familiar. Can you blame me?” “For a lot of things, yeah.” Pinkie just went and grabbed a board from her hair. “Anyhoo, just need to fill this out and you are officially up for the coveted Princess of the Fall Formal crown.” Pinkie now grabbed a pen from said place as Twilight and Pinkie smiled at each other like idiots as she smiled and… grabbed the pen with her… teeth? She quickly realized what she did but Pinkie… she has seen worse things as Twilight went to sign up and… holy hell she had to be worst writer, Pinkie and Maverick saw her signature and… god… “Wow! You have really bad handwriting. It's like you've never held a pen before.” said Pinkie as Maverick looks at her. “Have you ever… written?” “Well… hehehe.” but then a door was opened and they all looked at it. “Somebody order a dozen cases of fizzy apple cider?” a girly voice with an accent asked as Pinkie tan towards it with happiness. “Oh! Oh! Me, me-me-me, me, yeah, ha-ha, me!” the girl was one with yellow hair, orange like skin with a cowboy hat and cowboy like dressing. Twilight also looked in shock seeing her. “Stop screaming, my head hurts.” said Maverick but angry as he walked to grab one of the ciders. “Can you bring in the rest?” asked the girl as someone at the same height as Maverick, maybe a bit taller walked with four baskets filled with ciders. “Eeyup.” the girl walked to grab one and walked to put it with the other… until she looked at Twilight. “Hey, I know you.” “You do?” Twilight sounded bit confused but also… scared? “Sure. You're the new girl who gave Sunset Shimmer the what for today.” the girl grabbed a cider, opened it with her mouth and drank it without a problem. “Twilight Sparkle here is gonna run against Sunset Shimmer for Princess of the Fall Formal.” after what Pinkie said, the girl spitted the cider from her mouth in shock, as she looks at Maverick. “Mave you’ve been with her for almost 2 years. How could you not warn her?” “She already seemed to know her.” “Doesn’t matter. I'd think twice about that. Oh, sure, she'll probably approach you all friendly like.” she saw Pinkie floating and quickly puts her down and takes the balloon from her mouth but Pinkie has another as the girl draws a face… Sunset’s in the red and with the one Pinkie did… she did Twilight. “I sure am lookin' forward to some friendly competition.” she talked using Sunset’s voice and then Twilight’s. “That's so good to hear.” but she spins showing a needle. “But then, here comes the backstabbin'.” she proceeds to pop the balloon. “About the only girl in this school you can trust less than Sunset Shimmer is Rainbow Dash.” told the girl to Twilight as she looks confused. “Rainbow Dash?” Pinkie then is shown jumping in a balloon. “She's the captain of, like, every team at Canterlot High.” “She's also the captain of sayin' she's gonna do somethin' for ya, and then turnin' around and not even botherin' to show up.” said the girl fairly angry. “Thanks for the advice, Applejack, but this is something I really need to do.” told Twilight reassuring her until Y/N caught something during the dialogue. “Wait… you never told her, her name.” Maverick told the two as Applejack also picked it up. “How did you she was named Applejack?” “Um, I uh... Didn't she say? Twilight was very… off as the other guy puts down the other baskets. “Nnnope.” after that, Twilight quickly handshakes Applejack. “Well, it sure was nice meeting you both. I'm sure I'll be seeing you around.” she quickly ran away as the three looked confused at how Twilight acted. “That one's tryin' to hide a secret, but I am totally on to her.” said Pinkie who now whispers at the two. “She’s psychic.” “Uh-huh. If you say so.” said Applejack until the doors are kicked open, as they saw Sunset and two of her idiots. “This looks terrible!” she walked forward angrily as she walked to Pinkie’s balloons. “There should be more streamers near the stage and fewer balloons.” she pops two of them in one. The small one had a stream over his head. “Yeah, streamers.” he breaks them as the tall but skinny one had a balloon as he hugged it by his chest. “And fewer balloons.” he tries to explode it but fails miserably. “Fizzy apple cider? Ugh! This is my coronation, not a hoedown.” Sunset stated angrily as the two girls and boy had eyes widen but Applejack walks forward. “Well, now, it ain't necessarily gonna be your coronation this time around.” after what she said, Sunset angrily looked at Applejack eye to eye. “Oh, is that so? You country folk really aren't that bright. Must be why the other students say such awful things about you.” after that, she lowered her hat and walked away, as Applejack’s anger took over and blew the top of the hat. “Obviously it's gonna be mycoronation. I'm running unopposed.” “Sorry hon, you have a challenge.” said Maverick making Sunset looked confused. “I’m sorry… what?” “Yeah. The new girl just signed up!“ said Pinkie now Sunset in shock. “What?!” Pinkie gives her the papers as she looks at it. Sunset seems to actually recognize the… writing. She definitely knew. “I know. Her handwriting is really bad.” “Where is this Twilight Sparkle?” Sunset was hella angry as she looked at herself. “I'm looking forward to meeting the competition!” Applejack and Pinkie were confused, Maverick was thought… annoyed of what would happen.
