//------------------------------// // Aw hell, we're doing this now? // Story: The real Twilight // by TwinAttorney864 //------------------------------// Technically, the upper roof of Canterlot High isn't meant to be accessed by anyone besides the janitor for him to clear it off. Technicalities never stopped Sunset or Minuette, or Twilight. "Alright, before we catch up on what you guys been doing for the past 2 1/2 years," Sunset began, running a comb through her hair and pulling out all the knots, "How did both of you pick that lock?" She eyed the two suspiciously. "Well..." Minuette said sheepishly. "Let's just say not all of the liquor we got in CSGI for our parties was acquired legally." Twilight finished for her. Sunset stared, dumbfounded at her bookish friend. "Sunset, are you okay?" Minuette said, feeling pity for her new friend. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." Sunset put up a small smile, "Just, never expected to hear those words from Twilight." "You mean Midnight?" Minuette said. "I go by Twilight here, Minuette," Twilight said, pulling a sandwich from her bag. "Easier to go by your real name when you're not one of the most wanted teens in the town." Sunset looked mildly shocked at that before Twilight rolled her eyes and pulled Sunset towards her. "Sunset, look at me," She said with a tone of assertiveness, "I get I may have done some stuff you girls wouldn't exactly agree with in the past, but I've changed. I won't go back to that again, alright?" "Yeah, yeah," Sunset rubbed the back of her head in an awkward manner, "You just remind me a lot of what I used to do in the past, and I don't want you doing the same thing Twilight." "I won't, I promise." She smiled, before giving Sunset $20. "Now, by any chance could you get us some lunch from the cafeteria?" "Yeah, sure," Sunset smiled, "I'll leave you two alone for now." As she descended the steps to the school building, Minuette turned to face her, "You never acted like that to us, Mid-Twilight." She said with a hint of sadness. Heartbroken that her old friend was thinking that way, she went over to comfort her. "Look, Minuette..." She pulled her into a hug, "I was a different person back then, alright? I was brash, and arrogant with you girls. Here, I've learned to take things slower, and at a much nicer pace than what we did in CSGI." "I know, Twilight, I know," Minuette said, before looking into Twilight's eyes, who nodded back to her before she dug her head into the girl's shoulder. "Oh TWILIGHT!" She sobbed. "We all missed you so much." She continued sobbing into her old friend, who tried to comfort her. "I know, I'm so sorry I left you girls," Twilight said, bringing her friend to face her. "I promise, I won't leave you again." She sniffled, before bringing her face to Twilight once more, "Thanks, Twily, I missed you." "I missed you too, Minuette." They smiled. "So, you girls did making out with each other?" A voice sneered from the entrance. Both girls recoiled back before their faces turned into a face of amusement. "Haha, very funny Sunset." Twilight deadpanned, taking the lunch bags from her friend's grasp, before handing off one to Minuette. "Oh, chicken parmesan!" Sunset flinched at the word 'chicken' before Minuette understood what she came from. "Oh, you're vegan, aren't you?" "Vegetarian, technically," Sunset corrected her, "A vegan doesn't eat dairy products, and my best friend makes me a cupcake to go every day." "Oh, they must be nice girls," Minuette said, scarfing down the sandwich. "Yeah, they really are." Sunset said, "They're the ones who saved me and Twilight, you know?" Twilight recoiled, and Sunset figured out what she said, and slapped a hand over her mouth. "What do you mean, saved?" Minuette raised an eyebrow. Sunset sighed, "I used to be the Head Bitch In Charge at CHS, they're the ones who showed me the wrong I did, and who helped me redeem myself." "I mean, that makes sense for you," Minuette said, "But what about Twilight? If she's everything she said she was, I have high doubts she would try and take over the school." "It was...an accident," Twilight sighed, "A dumb one at that." "Oh? Do tell me." Minuette said. "Well, I actually didn't come here to CHS when I moved from CSGI." Twilight began, "I actually moved to the prep school uptown, Crystal Prep." "Oh damn, a prep school?" Minuette said shocked. "Yep." Twilight deadpanned, "Mom and Dad made me sign up when they caught wind of what we've been doing in the past." "Oh, crap." Minuette said, "If I knew, I'd have stopped us all immediately." "Yeah, they kept it low-key until they could find some evidence to prove what I've been doing. Anyways, they sent me there to make me stop partying. And I guess it worked?" "What do you mean guessed?" Sunset said, scarfing down the salad she brought for herself. "Well, instead of just stopping me from partying, it totally stamped out any fun I had at the school." "HOW?" Minuette said, angrily, 'Tell me who did it, and I'll make them rue the day they were born." "Long explanation, ask me when lunch isn't going to be over in 5 minutes." "Speaking of lunch ending, don't you have class after this, Sunset?" Twilight said, "I mean, me and Minuette have a free period now, so we can spend some time up here." "I do as well." Sunset smiled. "Wait, what?" Twilight's eyebrow raised, "I thought you had Economics with Applejack?" "I did, but Principle Celestia swapped my schedule for this semester to line up with Minuette's to help her settle in." "Oh, that's nice of her!" Twilight beamed. As Twilight got up to throw away her lunch, she tripped on something in Minuette's bag, "Damnit!" She swore as she fell. "Twilight, are you alright?!" Sunset said, going over to her friend. "I'm fine, just make sure I didn't sprain my ankle, would you?" Minuette went over to her friend's leg, and placed two fingers on her ankle, "Not sprained, but lay off any fast running for about an hour." "How do you know first aid?" Sunset asked. "She was our medic in CSGI," Twilight explained, pulling herself up. "Anytime one of us got hurt during parties or pranks, it fell to her to clean us up." When Sunset looked into Minuette's bag to find why Twilight tripped, she came across something that made her eyebrows raise. "Minuette," she asked slowly. "Yeah, Sunset?" "Why are there three cans of White Claw in your school bag?" "There are?!" SHe exclaimed, then ran up to her bag to confirm it, "Damnit Lemon, I could have been sent to detention for this!" "Who's Lemon?" Sunset asked Twilight, who was trying to walk again. "The supplier, basically." She said, "Anything we needed, it fell to her to get it." "Well, crap." Minuette said, "I'm fucking lucky that no one caught them, though I don't think my luck will hold through the afternoon." Twilight pondered this, while Sunset tried to help Minuette stuff the cans back into her bag. "I have an idea!" "What?" Sunset said. "We drink the cans!" Twilight exclaimed. "What." Sunset deadpanned. "Well, we can't have Minuette dragging the cans through the afternoon, someone can find them." Twilight exclaimed, "And since we have all drank beer at one point or another, we could probably hold the alcohol long enough till we get home." "Wait, I can get the two of you drinking, you did in fact spike your parties if Twinkleshine was anything to go off of," Sunset said, "But how do you know I drink beer?" "You don't do very well with disposing of the cans behind your apartment." Twilight deadpanned. The three of them pondered this. On one hand, they could not drink the cans, and Minuette has to handle the anxiety of harboring cans of beer through the second half of school. On the other, they all proved that they can handle alcohol, and the chances they are found out if they drink the cans are slim. Sunset was the first to crack open a can. As each of them drank their respective cans, the world began to slowly blur around them. Their minds began to think irrationally, as the world began to spin, and they all toppled over in a fit of giggles. There was laughter, and giggling, as the three of them slowly began to lose focus on the rest of the world, and it became just the three of them. It would be unknown to them later at what time, but at some point, there was a light hiss of another can, and they just let their minds draw to their heart's content. For unknown to them, the beer they all drank in the past was watered down, either through the punch, or through just plain water, and these cans were pure alcoholic beer. The three of them woke up the next day in Sunset's apartment. Head pounding, eyes bloodshot, and each of them begging for the sweet release of death. It wouldn't be until about 9 in the morning when Twilight would be able to drink some water and clear her head. Luckily, it was the weekend. Wait, the weekend? Twilight thought, but wasn't today supposed to be Friday? As each of them woke, the situation they were in cleared up. Their clothes were all strewn about, a bra there, some shirt on the couch, and the distinct smell of sex and paint thinner hung in the air. All of Sunset's glasses were filled with an unknown concoction, though it must be noted that the ingredients in her kitchen were the ones needed to make beer. Twilight's phone was cracked, Sunset's was missing, and Minuette's was stuffed about an inch down her privates. All of them were butt naked. As Twilight spoke, a sharp pain stung in her head, "Anyone knows what happened last night?" "No clue," Sunset said, "But I have a feeling it was nothing good." As she said this, she pointed to her TV, which was running on, and a Breaking News report showing the front of Canterlot High was on it. The school looked like a mess, with obscene drawings on its walls, and slurs for all people written on its sides. One of the windows was destroyed, and Minuette's bag was hanging from the horn of the new Wondercolt statue, itself having an obscene drawing on its underside. The headline? Three Teens suspected in the defamation of Canterlot High's front: "CSGI's Girls are back baby!" written on the statue base ... ... ... "Well, shitfucks." Twilight swore.
