//------------------------------// // chapter 1: TWILIGHT // Story: modernised and ponified Phantom of the Opera // by GRYFFINDOR123456 //------------------------------// I looked up at the enormous school. I adjusted my glasses. I took a deep breath. “Okay, Twilight,” I said. “Let’s do this.” I pushed open the glass door and stepped inside. Everywhere were green lockers, and students. I’m Twilight Sparkle, a scientist, a former pupil at Crystal Prep Academy and an opera singer in training. My mother is a writer. My father is a police officer. I’ve always dreamt of discovering things. But I love to sing too. I looked around me. Okay, so I had to find Principal Celestia’s office to collect my schedule. I went into her office. “Ah, Twilight Velvet Sparkle?” asked Principal Celestia. “Yes,” I said. “Here’s your schedule,” she said. “Welcome to Canterlot High. Now, Applejack will show you around.” A girl with long blonde hair, tied in a plait, waved at me. “This is Applejack. Applejack, meet Twilight.” “Howdy,” said Applejack. “I’m mighty pleased ter meet you, Twilight.” I smiled. “Well, if you could make sure she doesn’t go in the basement,” said Principal Celestia. “Yep, will do,” said Applejack. “Hey,” said a male voice. “The name’s Flash. Flash Sentry.” “This is Twilight,” said Applejack. “Twilight Sparkle. Now, Flash, ya great baffoon, leave us. I’m supposed to give her a tour of the school.”
