*Lillian's POV*
*After arriving in the Crystal Empire*
Applejack spoke “Hoo-wee! Your very first princess summit. You must be over the moon, Twilight.”
Twilight spoke “Oh, I am excited. But, to be honest, I'm a little nervous, too.”
Pinkie Pie exclaims “You're 'nervicited'! It's like you wanna jump up and down and yell "YAY ME!!" But you also wanna curl up in a teeny-tiny ball and hide at the same time! We've all been there!”
Fluttershy spoke “I'm there almost every day.”
Nyx whimpers “Yeah...”
Applejack spoke “You've got no reason to fret, Twi. Everything's gonna be just–“
Rarity exclaims “TWILIGHT! Oh, sorry, darling, but I just realized you're not wearing your crown. You haven't forgotten it back in Ponyville, have you?”
I facepalm at Rarity’s outburst.
Twilight Sparkle spoke “It's in my bag. Just feel a little self-conscious about wearing it. Haven't really gotten accustomed to these yet, either.”
Rarity spoke “You are a princess now, Twilight. Embrace it! I'm telling you, if I had a crown like that, I would never take it off. Why, I'd sleep in the thing.”
Danyelle spoke “The weight of the crown in any world is heavy...”
I spoke “Danyelle’s got a point there.”
*Inside the castle*
Flash Sentry spoke “Her highness, Princess Twilight Sparkle!”
Princess Cadence laughs “Twilight! I haven't seen you since the coronation!”
Princess Celestia spoke “We have so much to discuss. But it can wait until tomorrow. You all look tired from your journey. Now, off to bed, all of you.”
There was a bit of excited chatter as the group heads off.
I stood guard outside Twilight’s temporary room while Danyelle bunked with Rarity.
Twilight Sparkle sighs.
Spike asks "What's wrong, Twilight?"
Twilight Sparkle sighs "I don't know, Spike. I'm just... worried, I guess. Princess Cadence was given the Crystal Empire to rule over. What if, now that I'm a princess, Celestia expects me to lead a kingdom of my own?”
Spike exclaims “That would be awesome!”
Twilight Sparkle scoffs “No, it would not! Just because I have this crown and these wings, it doesn't mean I'll be a good leader!”
Spike spoke “Aw, sure ya will, Twilight. Now c'mon, you should get some shut-eye. Big day tomorrow! [sigh]”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “[grunts] Can't... tuck...! [grunts] Just trying to get comfortable! Ugh!”
The sound of a door opening was heard after I was knocked out with a sleep spell.
Spike was snoring.
After tripping over Spike’s tail, Sunset Shimmer spoke “Ugh!"
Spike stutters “Huh? What?”
Twilight Sparkle shouts “[yawns] My crown! She's got my crown! Stop! Thief! She has stolen my crown!”
I was jolted awake by Twilight’s shouting.
The others and Danyelle all gasp.
Twilight Sparkle shouts “Stop! [grunts]”
The others all gasp.
Twilight Sparkle asks “What did you do with my crown?”
Sunset Shimmer spoke “Sorry it had to be this way... Princess.”
The others and I all gasp.
Fluttershy asks “Who was that?”
Princess Celestia spoke “That was this world's Sunset Shimmer. A former student of mine. She began her studies with me not long before Twilight. But when she did not get what she wanted as quickly as she liked, she turned cruel and dishonest. I tried to help her, but she eventually decided to abandon her studies and pursue her own path. One that has sadly led to her stealing your crown."
Spike spoke “She replaced Twilight's with this one.”
I growl “I’ll pound her if she comes back.”
Princess Celestia spoke “I suppose Sunset Shimmer thought you wouldn't notice right away that this was not yours. And by the time you did, it would be too late to go after your crown and Element of Harmony.”
Twilight Sparkle asks “But I don't understand. Where did she go? Where did she take the crown?”
Princess Celestia spoke “You'll soon know more about this place than even I do.”
*Later*
Princess Luna spoke “This is no ordinary mirror. It is a gateway to another world. A gateway that opens once every thirty moons.”
Pinkie Pie spoke “Sparkly!”
While pulling Pinkie back with magic, Princess Luna spoke “It has always been kept in the throne room of Canterlot Castle. But when Princess Cadence took over the Crystal Empire, we sent it here for her to watch over.”
Princess Celestia spoke “[sigh] I had always hoped that Sunset Shimmer would someday use it to return, to come back to Equestria seeking my guidance. Obviously, this is not what has happened.”
Princess Cadence spoke “Twilight, you must use the mirror to go into this other world and retrieve your crown. Without it, the other Elements of Harmony have no power and Equestria is left without one of its most important means of defense.”
Princess Luna spoke “Your crown does not belong in the place Sunset Shimmer now calls home. And in her possession, your Element of Harmony will no doubt be used to bring harm to the inhabitants of this other realm. They will not have the power to defend themselves.”
Princess Celestia asks “You understand the importance of your task?”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Of course I do.”
Princess Celestia spoke “Good. Then you must go at once.”
Twilight Sparkle sighs as she approaches the mirror.
Rainbow Dash spoke “Whoa, whoa, whoa! She's going, we're going with her.”
Pinkie Pie squees in happiness.
Rainbow Dash asks “Right, girls?”
Pinkie Pie squeals “Oooh! I'm so 'nervicited'!”
Applejack asks “You do realize that's not a real word, right?”
Princess Celestia spoke “I'm afraid I can't let you go.”
Rainbow Dash asks “What?! Why not?!”
Princess Celestia spoke “Sending all of you could upset the balance of this alternate world, creating havoc that would make it impossible for Twilight to get the crown back from Sunset Shimmer. This is something Princess Twilight must do alone.”
Princess Luna warns “Time is of the essence. On the third day, when the moon reaches its peak in the night sky, the gateway will close. And once it does, it will be another thirty moons before you will be able to use it to return.”
Spike and Danyelle immediately go after Twilight. Nyx was held back by Rarity.
the other five and I shout “[remarks of encouragement] Spike, Danyelle, NO!”
Twilight Sparkle shouts “Whoa! Aaaah!”
Spike and Danyelle both yelp as they were sent through the portal.
*EG world*
*Day 1*
*Danyelle's POV*
Twilight Sparkle groans as she got up.
Spike asks “Uh, Twilight?”
Twilight Sparkle asks “Huh? Spike? Danyelle? You two are not supposed to– Spike? Are you a... dog? And is Danyelle...?”
Spike spoke “I... think so. But I have no idea what you are!”
I spoke "*sigh* She's a human... Remember, I was born human.”
Twilight Sparkle asks “Huh? [screams] [panting]”
Spike spoke “Twilight, you have to get it together!”
Twilight Sparkle asks “[heavy breathing] [sigh] What... does the rest of me look like?”
Spike spoke “Um, like you. Only not you. Your muzzle's really small.”
Twilight Sparkle asks “My muzzle?! [panics]”
Spike asks "Are you gonna scream again? Where are we?"
Twilight Sparkle spoke “I don't know. But that must serve as the gateway back to Equestria. We need to find my crown as soon as possible and get back there. I suggest we start searching the castle first.”
Spike spoke “Works for me. Yeah, I don't think that's how the new you is supposed to–“
[dog pants and whines]
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Whooaaa... Whoa! Ooh... [laughs nervously] C'mon, Spike. I do not wanna be like this for longer than I have to.”
Spike spoke “Well, look on the bright side. You don't have those pesky wings to worry about anymore.”
[thud]
I spoke “I don’t think that’s gonna work out Twilight.”
Twilight Sparkle exclaims “Hmm! [grunts] [gasps] My magic! It isn't working!”
Spike spoke “Makes sense. You don't exactly have your horn."
Twilight Sparkle asks “What?!"
Spike spoke “We really need to find you a mirror.”
I spoke “Most definitely.”
Twilight Sparkle asks “What do ya think, Spike and Danyelle? Other artifacts she's stolen from Equestria? [gasps] What am I?”
[school bell rings]
[scattered conversations]
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Huh? Oof!”
Flash Sentry asks “Whoa. You okay?”
Spike spoke “I don't think this is a castle.”
[Twilight Sparkle]
I've never seen a place
That's quite like this
Everything is turned around
This crazy world is upside-down
Getting on my feet
It's the hand that I was dealt
But I don't have much time with them
Got to learn all that I can
They don't use any magic or fly with any wings
I don't get these funny clothes, skinny legs or tiny nose
Everything's confusing when it seems so new
But I look a little closer and it starts to feel familiar too
What a strange new world (what a strange new world)
I'm trying to make heads or tails of this strange new world (what a strange new world)
Sorting through the small details of this strange new world
What a strange new world
Fluttershy whimpers “Oh, I'm really sorry. I-I just found it, and-and I thought I should give it to her. I didn't know you had dropped it.”
Sunset Shimmer snaps “Well, I did! And I was about to get it before you swooped in and ruined everything! You shouldn't pick up things that don't belong to you."
Fluttershy spoke “[hushed] It... doesn't really belong to you, either.”
Sunset Shimmer snaps “Excuse me?!”
Fluttershy stammers “N-n-nothing...”
Sunset Shimmer snaps “That's what I thought. It's as good as mine, and you know it. You really are pathetic. It's no wonder your best friends are all stray animals.”
Spike and I growl in anger.
Twilight Sparkle snaps “How dare you speak to her that way!”
Sunset Shimmer asks “What did you say?”
Twilight Sparkle snaps “I said, How dare you speak to her that way!"
Sunset Shimmer scoffs “You must be new here. I can speak to anyone any way I want.”
[locker door shuts]
Fluttershy spoke “I can't believe you did that!”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “I couldn't just stand there.”
Fluttershy spoke “Well, it's just that nobody ever stands up to Sunset Shimmer.”
Twilight Sparkle asks “Sunset Shimmer!?”
Fluttershy asks “You've heard of her?”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Sort of...”
Fluttershy asks “I don't think I've seen you around before. Did you just transfer to Canterlot High from another school?”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Um... yes! Another... heh, school! My name's Twilight.”
Fluttershy spoke “[very quietly] I'm... Fluttershy.”
Twilight Sparkle asks “Sorry, what was that?"
Fluttershy spoke “[even quieter] It's Fluttershy!”
Twilight Sparkle asks “It sounds like you're saying Fluttershy, but how can that...?"
Fluttershy exclaims "Oh, my goodness! Who's this sweet little guy?”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “That's Spike! My, uh... dog!”
Fluttershy spoke “Oh, he's so cute! Go on, eat up, little pup!”
Spike asks “[eats] Huh?”
Fluttershy asks “Oh, wouldn't ya just give anything to know what they're really thinking?”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “He usually just tells me.”
Fluttershy asks “Oh, w-what do you mean?”
Spike just barks.
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Oh, uh, nothing! (chuckles) Never mind. Sunset Shimmer said you picked something up. Something that belonged to her. It wasn't a crown, was it?”
Fluttershy asks “How did you know?”
Twilight Sparkle asks “Uh, lucky guess? Do you still have it?”
Fluttershy spoke “Mm-mm.”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “But you know what happened to it.”
Fluttershy spoke “Mm-hmm. This morning, I was passing out flyers for the animal shelter like I do every Wednesday.”
*flashback*
Fluttershy asks “Canterlot's animal shelter needs more volunteers. Won't you help an animal that can't help itself?”
[papers fluttering]
Fluttershy whimpers.
[clunk]
Fluttershy yelps “Ow!”
*end flashback*
Fluttershy spoke “I have no idea how it got there. But I didn't want anything to happen to it, so I decided to give it to Principal Celestia.”
Twilight Sparkle asks “Principal Celestia? She's the ruler here?”
Fluttershy spoke “You could say that. Technically, I guess she and Vice Principal Luna do make the rules.”
Twilight Sparkle asks "Where is she now?"
Fluttershy spoke “Probably in her office. Third door on your left.”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Thank you!”
Fluttershy spoke “Oh, wait! You're not really supposed to have pets on school grounds. Might wanna tuck them into your backpack. That's what I do.”
[cat meows]
[bird chirps]
Fluttershy spoke “They just get so lonely when I'm in school all day.”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Oh, okay! Thank you!"
[school bell rings]
Fluttershy exclaims “Oh, no! I'm late for class!”
[knock knock knock knock]
Principal Celestia spoke “Come in. How may I help you?”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Um, uh... Whew. My name's Twilight Sparkle. I-I'm new here, and... Well, I understand that Fluttershy found a crown this morning and gave it to you.”
Principal Celestia asks “Yes. 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?"
Twilight Sparkle asks “Uh, no. Not exactly. The truth is... Well, the truth is I... You see, the crown is actually... Princess of the Fall Formal?”
Principal Celestia spoke “It's Canterlot High's big Fall dance.”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Like the Grand Galloping Gala.”
I cuff Twilight on the head.
Principal Celestia asks “Uh, Grand Galloping Gala?”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Oh, uh, it was a big deal at my old school.”
Principal Celestia asks “And was there a princess?”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Yes, but she wasn't exactly a student.”
Principal Celestia spoke "Here at Canterlot High, the students select one of their peers to represent them. She receives her crown at the Fall Formal."
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Hmm. You asked me if I was interested in running for Princess. Can anyone run?”
Principal Celestia spoke “Yes. You just need to let the head of the Fall Formal planning committee know you would like to be on the ballot. Was there anything else?”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Um, nope! That was it!”
Principal Celestia spoke “Well, if you do need anything else, my door is always open.”
[door closes]
Spike asks “Twilight, why didn't ya just tell her the crown was yours and ask for it back?”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “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, two-legged creatures with these? We'd think they were crazy!”
Spike spoke “Hmm. You make a good point.”
I spoke “Yeah, good idea Twilight. But you just insulted the Mobians...”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Looks like if I want my crown back, I'll have to become Princess of the Canterlot High Fall Formal. So that's what I'm gonna do!”
Spike asks “And how exactly do you plan on doing that?”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “I have no idea!”
[school bell rings]
[students chatting]
Twilight Sparkle spoke “I know we've just met, but I was wondering if you might be able to help me with something.”
Fluttershy spoke “Of course!”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “I've decided to run for Princess of the Fall Formal, and-”
Fluttershy spoke “[gasp] Oh! Oh, gosh! Sorry. It's just, oh, running for Fall Formal Princess is a really bad idea.”
Twilight Sparkle asks “Why?”
Fluttershy spoke “Sunset Shimmer wants to be Fall Formal Princess, and when she wants something, she gets it! She'll make life awful for anyone who stands in her way. Just ask the girl who ran against her for Princess of the Spring Fling.”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “I have to try!”
Fluttershy spoke “Oh, I don't think you understand. You'd have to convince everyone here to vote for you instead of her: the athletes, the fashionistas, the dramas, the eco-kids, the techies, the rockers...”
Twilight Sparkle asks “Why is everypony–?”
I cuff Twilight on the head again.
Twilight Sparkle asks “Uh, everybody separated this way?”
Fluttershy spoke “Maybe it was different at your old school, but at CHS, everybody sticks to their own kind. One thing that they do have in common is that they know Sunset Shimmer is gonna rule the school until we graduate.”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Not if I can help it! [chews apple] So, uh, [giggle] where would I find the head of the party planning committee?”
*In the gym*
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Fluttershy said she'd probably be in here.”
Pinkie Pie shouts “Incoming! [breathes in and blows into a balloon]”
Twilight Sparkle asks “Hi, my name's Twilight Sparkle and... Pinkie Pie?”
[balloon deflates]
Pinkie Pie asks “[gasps] Are you psychic?!”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Uh, no. I don't think so. Unless of course that's something you can do here.”
Pinkie Pie sighs “Not usually.”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Fluttershy said this is where I'd find the head of the Fall Formal planning committee.”
Pinkie Pie scoffs “Fluttershy, huh? Don't let the whole "shy" thing fool you. She can be a real meanie.”
Twilight Sparkle asks “You two aren't friends?”
Pinkie Pie spoke “Waited a bit to get your name on the ballot, huh? Dance is day after tomorrow.”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “I'm brand new here.”
Pinkie Pie asks “Oooh! I thought you didn't look familiar. Though, now that I'm really lookin' at you... Do you have a twin sister who lives in the city, has a pet dog named Spike that looks just like that one?”
Twilight Sparkle asks “Uh, maybe?”
Pinkie Pie spoke “Thought so. Anyhoo, just need to fill this out and you are officially up for the coveted Princess of the Fall Formal crown.”
[pen scratching]
Pinkie Pie spoke “Wow! You have really bad handwriting. It's like you've never held a pen before.”
Twilight Sparkle asks “[nervous laughter] Is it?”
Applejack asks “Somebody order a dozen cases of fizzy apple cider?”
Pinkie Pie spoke “Oh! Oh! Me, me-me-me, me, yeah, ha-ha, me!”
Applejack asks “Can you bring in the rest?”
Big McIntosh spoke “Eeyup.”
Applejack spoke "Hey, I know you.”
Twilight Sparkle asks “You do?”
Applejack spoke “Sure. You're the new girls who gave Sunset Shimmer the what for today. [gulps cider]”
Pinkie Pie spoke “Twilight Sparkle here is gonna run against Sunset Shimmer for Princess of the Fall Formal.”
Applejack spoke “[spits] I'd think twice about that. Oh, sure, she'll probably approach you all friendly like... [fakes Sunset Shimmer's voice] I sure am lookin' forward to some friendly competition. [fakes Twilight's voice] That's so good to hear. [normal] But then, here comes the backstabbin'.”
[balloon pops]
Applejack spoke “About the only girl in this school you can trust less than Sunset Shimmer is Rainbow Dash."
Twilight Sparkle asks “Rainbow Dash?”
Pinkie Pie spoke “She's the captain of, like, every team at Canterlot High.”
[balloon pops]
Applejack spoke “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.”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Thanks for the advice, Applejack, but this is something I really need to do.”
I just facepalm.
Applejack spoke “Huh, suit yourself. Hey, how'd you know my name is Applejack?”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Um, I uh... [nervous laughter] Didn't you say?”
Big Mac spoke “Nnnope.”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Well, it sure was nice meeting you both. I'm sure I'll be seeing you around.”
Pinkie Pie spoke “That one's tryin' to hide a secret, but I am totally on to her. [whispering] She's psychic!”
Applejack spoke “Uh-huh. If you say so.”
[doors open]
Sunset Shimmer scoffs “This looks terrible! There should be more streamers near the stage and fewer balloons.”
[balloon pops]
Snips spoke “Yeah, streamers!”
Snails spoke “And fewer balloons!”
[thud]
Sunset Shimmer spoke “Fizzy apple cider? Ugh! This is my coronation, not a hoedown.”
Applejack spoke “Well, now, it ain't necessarily gonna be your coronation this time around.”
Sunset Shimmer scoffs “Oh, is that so? You country folk really aren't that bright. Must be why the other students say such awful things about you.”
Applejack spoke “Grrr...”
Sunset Shimmer spoke “Obviously it's gonna be my coronation. I'm running unopposed.”
Pinkie Pie spoke “Not this time. The new girl just signed up!”
Sunset Shimmer asks “What?!”
Pinkie Pie spoke “I know. Her handwriting is really bad.”
Sunset Shimmer spoke “[to herself] Where are this Twilight Sparkle and Danyelle? [laughs] [to Applejack and Pinkie Pie] I'm looking forward to meeting the competition!”
[students chatting]
Sunset Shimmer spoke “Can't believe I didn't recognize you earlier. Shoulda known Princess Celestia would send her prized pupil here after my crown, and her little dog and fuzzball of a cat, too.”
I growl at the insult.
Twilight Sparkle spoke “It's my crown!”
Sunset Shimmer spoke “Whatever. This is just a minor setback for me. You don't know the first thing about this place, and I already rule it.”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “If that's so, why do you even need my crown? You went to an awful lot of trouble to switch it with the one that belongs here.”
Sunset Shimmer spoke “Pop quiz: what happens when you bring an Element of Harmony into an alternate world? You don't know? Seriously? [laughing] And you're supposed to be Princess Celestia's star student? Then again, what were the chances she'd find somepony as bright as me to take under her wing after I decided to leave Equestria? Bit embarrassing that you were the best she could do.”
Spike and I growl.
Sunset Shimmer spoke “Oh, and I'd keep an eye on your mutt. Hate for him to be... taken away from you.”
Spike and I both growl “Is that a threat?”
Sunset Shimmer spoke “Oh, of course not.”
Spike barks.
Sunset Shimmer spoke “But I'd cut down on the chatter if I were you. Don't want everyone to know you three don't belong here, now would you? You wanna be a princess here? Please. You don't know the first thing about fitting in.”
Talking to the two boys, Sunset Shimmer spoke "I want you to follow her. Bring me something I can use just like I did with that last girl who thought she could challenge me.”
Snips spoke “You got it, Sunset Shimmer.”
Sunset Shimmer spoke “When the crown and its power are mine, Twilight Sparkle will be sorry she ever set hoof into this world. Not that she would've been much safer if she'd stayed in Equestria.”
Snips chuckles "Yeah, in Equestria."
Sunset Shimmer snaps "What are you still doing here?! Go!"
Snips and Snails spoke “Ow. Oh.”
[vending machine creaking]
Twilight Sparkle grunts.
Trixie Lulamoon spoke "Excuse me. The Great and Powerful Trixie! ...Needs some peanut butter crackers. Voilà!”
Twilight Sparkle spoke "Sunset Shimmer is right. I don't know the first thing about this place. If I'm gonna really fit in and win votes, we need to do some research."
Spike and I ask “Research?”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “This place has a school. I have to believe it's got a... library!"
Snips asks “Got your phone?”
Snails asks “Got yours?”
Snips and Snails both snicker.
Twilight Sparkle asks “So I just push the letters here, and then the words and moving pictures will come up here?”
Cheerilee spoke “[sigh] That's right."
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Maybe this place does have magic.”
I spoke “Doubt it.”
[music playing]
[music shuts off]
Cheerilee asks “Uh, girls, what are you doing?”
Sweetie Belle spoke “We're just seeing how many hits our new music video has gotten.”
Cheerilee spoke “[groaning] No, just...”
[music shuts off]
Cheerilee spoke “No! The school computers are for research purposes only."
Apple Bloom spoke “It's just as well, y'all. Some of the comments about our song were really awful. "Epic fail"... "Funniest thing I've ever seen"?!”
Sweetie Belle asks "Funniest thing they've ever seen, huh?”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “Uh, I don't know that that's what you should take from... [sounds of exertion]"
Snips and Snails snicker.
Twilight Sparkle stammers "Whoa! Whoa! Waah!"
Cheerilee spoke "Shhh!"
Twilight Sparkle spoke "Uh... [nervous laughter]"
Snips and Snails snicker harder.
Twilight Sparkle groans "Ugh."
Twilight Sparkle yelps.
Using the P.A system, Principal Celestia spoke “The library will be closing in five minutes.”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “[yawn] [gasp] I hadn't even thought about where we're gonna sleep tonight!”
I spoke “Way ahead of you.”
Spike spoke “It's a little [cough, cough] dusty. But it doesn't seem like anybody comes up here.”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “It's perfect, Spike. Thanks Danyelle.”
I spoke “No problem Twilight.”
Spike asks “So, how did your research go?”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “I found this book. It's called a yearbook. It seems to be something they use to keep a record of things that have happened at the school. Look. That's Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, and I'm gonna bet the girl on the far right is Rarity.”
Spike exclaims “There's a Rarity here!? Uh, I mean, uh... interesting photo.”
I chuckle “Easy Casanova.”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “It's interesting because they look like our friends.”
Spike spoke “They do look like our friends. But I thought we'd figured that out already.”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “No, I mean... they look like they're friends with each other. But it doesn't seem like they're friends now.”
Spike spoke “Not so much.”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “I just can't help but get the feeling that Sunset Shimmer had something to do with it.”
Spike spoke “I wouldn't put it past her. But she wanted your crown 'cause she's planning on doing something even worse! If you're gonna stop her, you have to focus on making friends here. Can't worry about why these girls aren't friends anymore. Even if they [yawning] do remind you of your Ponyville friends.”
I spoke “I think Sunset’s planning something...”
Twilight Sparkle spoke “You're right, guys. [sigh] Eye on the prize.”
End of Day 1
