//------------------------------// // New Day and Old Stories // Story: The Mysterious Island // by WarriorofFaith18 //------------------------------// It was Morning in Canterlot. And on this morning, The Rainbooms prepare in their own way. Fluttershy was greeted by some small birds. Applejack got some chores done along with Applebloom and Big Mac. Pinkie Pie made breakfast for her sisters despite a pancake landed on her sister Maud's head. Rainbow Dash jogged around the town with Scootaloo and waved at everyone she passed, including Wallflower Blush who was watering her garden. Rarity did a little shopping for some fabrics for her fashion ideas with Sweetie Belle. And even though she had hit snooze alarm a couple times, Sunset Shimmer had gotten herself around and got a coffee as she met up with the others and greeted each other. "So you girls ready to meet at the portal?" Sunset asked her friends. "You betcha!" Pinkie gleefully answered. "Had to double time it on my chores to meet here" Applejack boasted. "The hard part was not letting my geode power get the best of me." "C'mon! they'll be here any minute." Rainbow cried. It was there Fluttershy noticed someone missing. "Um where's Twilight?" "She's having breakfast with her brother and Principal Cadence, remember?" Sunset answered. Before transferring to Canterlot High, Twilight Sparkle used to go to Crystal Prep High School. There she was an outcast, despite being smart, and didn't have any friends. Cadence, who was a Dean at the time, was the only friendly shoulder Twilight had. After the events of the Friendship Games and Twilight transferred to Canterlot High, The former Principal Abacus Cinch was fired and Cadence was chosen to be the new principal and was engaged to Twilight's older brother, Shining Armor, who was also a Dean. Despite being busy, Cadence and Shining always find time for Twilight to see how's she's doing in Canterlot High. "Oh Yeah." Fluttershy said. "Don't worry, darling, She'll be around later." Rarity reminded her friend. "She has been looking forward to this day as well as the rest of us." Today, The Rainbooms were going to be visited by their friends, Chetcheki Chan Gecko and Starlight Glimmer, from Equestria. Through the statue of Canterlot High is a portal to another world called Equestria, home to Sunset Shimmer and Twilight's counterpart who is the Princess of Friendship. Starlight is the reformed protege of Princess of Friendship who saved the girls from a possessed diva with a mirror. when Chet visited the world himself, he helped Twilight saved their principal, Celestia, from a demon with the help of a superhero Shine Boy. When anyone who visited from Equestria, they are changed from pony to human, but for Chet, he remains as he is for some reason. -------- As the other Rainbooms head to the portal, Twilight was finishing her breakfast with her brother and sister in law. "Thank you for the Breakfast. I loved it." Twilight thanked. "It's always good to see you, Twilight." Cadence answered. "And I'm glad they're treating you well at CHS." "Plus, we thought we'd asked if you would want any of some of these things we're getting rid of." Shining Armor said as he pulled up a box with some junk in it. Twilight accepted the box. "I'm sure I could make use of some of these. What're you making room for?" Cadence motioned Twilight to come closer to her and, as she did, placed Twilight's hand to her stomach. Twilight's eyes widened as she felt a kick. "Y-you?" Cadence smiled and nodded. "I-I'm gonna be an aunt!" Twilight proclaimed. Nearby, her dog Spike was napping after having his breakfast grumbled. "Great. great. Proclaim it during lunch, okay?" After calming down a bit, Twilight search through the box, finding electronics and books before finding a beautiful necklace. it was laced with gems around the amulet of the necklace and was beaded with beads the size of marbles. "Cadence," Twilight whispered. "It's beautiful." "Oh that! That was my great grandmother's. My grandmother told me the stories her mother told her about a mysterious island and it's guardian." "Guardian?" "It is said that a guardian used this necklace to help banish a great evil from conquering his home island with the help of some great heroes." "Did he win?" "He did, but was so weakened he was put under a deep sleep. Only to awaken when needed again." Twilight awed. "Wow! Creepy." Cadence smiled as she patted Twilight's shoulder. "Twilight. It’s just a story." "I heard that before." Twilight bluntly said, recalling her adventure with the dream eater. "Well, I thought your friend, Rarity, could make use of it." Cadence added. "But be careful with it. It's very old." "Well, we better get going. We're due to have the doctor to check on the baby." Shining pointed out. Twilight mentioned. "Yeah I better get going too. Some friends of mine are visiting today. C'mon, Spike!" Spike stretched as he followed Twilight to the door as she waved goodbye to Cadence and Shining Armor. ----------- Meanwhile, The other Rainbooms waited by the statue until two figures emerged from the portal. One was another teenage girl the same age as the girls with purple hair with a green streak and the other was a humanoid gecko wearing a trenchcoat and carried swords. It was Starlight Glimmer and Chetcheki Chan Gecko. "Whoa! Still not use to this." Starlight said as she stumbled. "Chet! Starlight!" The Rainbooms cried. "Hello, girls" Chet greeted as the girls embraced the two. "Ah it’s good to be back." Sunset smiled. "I'm glad Princess Twilight let you come, Starlight!" "I never thought I’d be able to see you all again." Starlight sighed. "But when Twilight talked about letting Chet come back, she thought I've been working too hard at the School of Friendship." "It’s still good to see you both again." Sunset smiled as she embraces Starlight. Rainbow turns to Chet. "So Chet, have you figured out why you haven't transformed when you come here?" "Fraid not" Chet sighed. "But Princess Twilight has a hypothesis that it might be these." Chet held up his twin katanas. "She believes the magic my father's swords endure are the reason I am immune to the magic of the portal." Chet looked around. "Where is your Twilight?" "She's having breakfast with her brother and sister in law" Pinkie answered. Chet chuckled. "How ironic because the last time I was here she was the only one who greeted me here and now she is the only one not here." "She'll be here later when she's done" Fluttershy explained. "Let's wait for her and the fun will begin." Applejack said. As they all sat down to wait for Twilight and Spike, Chet looked up to the sky thinking about the friend he made the last time he was here. Shine Boy, I hope to see you again, he thought.
