The girls and Sam return to the boutique to get themselves ready for the Formal later that evening. They were all extremely happy that they were able to fix the auditorium in time. They were all sure that everyone voted for Twilight as well.
“I still can't believe we pulled that off!” said Fluttershy.
“I can!” remarked Rainbow, “we're awesome!”
“Enough chatter, girls,” said Rarity, as she pulled out a clothes rack, with dresses on it, “we need to get ready, and we need to look fabulous!”
“Cue changing montage,” Sam remarked.
Fluttershy was looking in a mirror, holding a green and orange dress, she seemed to like it. Pinkie tried on different dresses that had balloons on and some she really liked. Rainbow was in a very puffy dress, she thought she looked silly in it, Rarity just chuckled and pushed her away.
Applejack tried on a green dress that went down to the floor, she seemed to like it, but Rarity wanted to make a few changes, which made Applejack annoyed, thinking she was just being used as a mannequin. Pinkie tried out some new hair styles, all looking very puffy, with some styles made her look like she had a pineapple on her head, a swan, a ship on the ocean, even completely straight, but it just poofed back to normal, but Pinkie thought it was the best.
Fluttershy was brushing her hair, with a little help from her bunny and bird, as Spike was trying on moustaches. Rarity sat at her makeup table and did her nails, eyelashes, blush, and lipstick. The other girls seemed to be struggling with the makeup, Pinkie was straying perfume right into her face, Twilight was helping Rainbow with brushing her hair, Applejack was adjusting her hat, and Summer Breeze was helping Fluttershy with her eyeliner. Rarity then brought out a box of jewellery and they each took something that was themed after their respective element.
Pinkie had balloon earrings, Rarity had a diamond necklace, Rainbow had a pair of red boots with what resembled wings on the side, Applejack had a new Stetson hat with a rose on the front that resembled an apple, Fluttershy had a new butterfly hairpin, and Summer Breeze had a had a ring with her sun on it. Twilight clapped at their appearances in their beautiful dresses, even Sam had to admit they looked amazing.
Then Rarity hurried Twilight into a changing booth and gave her a dress, she did the same with Sam but gave him a suit. They all waited for Twilight to come out. When she did she was all sparkling with beauty, the girls were in awe as they came closer to Twilight. Sam then came out all smartly dressed and even had his hair flatten and swept to the side with some gel. The girls all found him adorable, but Sam thought he looked too smart, he wasn’t much for this sort of stuff.
The moon was high in the sky above Canterlot high, signalling that Twilight hasn’t got that much time left. But that wasn’t going to spoil her night, even though it meant she has maybe 2-3 hours before it reaches its highest point. Students, dressed up in suits and dresses enter the school entrance, as a limousine pulls up and the girls and Sam step out, laughing, and feeling excited for what’s happening in the school. Just as Twilight was about to enter, someone called out to her.
“Twilight!” called Flash, Twilight turned around and saw him, “Look, I know you said "no" about going to the Fall Formal with me, but would you reconsider and at least have one dance?”
“I didn't say "no"! I mean, I did, but... I didn't mean no, to you,” Twilight replied before calming down, “I was... Well, what I mean is... yes. I'd love to dance with you!”
Flash smiled and Twilight took his arm, as he began to walk into the school, but not before Flash smacked his face into the closed door. The two laughed and they entered one by one.
The dance was in full swing, everyone was enjoying themselves, Sam was even lucky to dance with the CMC. Everyone was rocking out the Flash and his band playing on the stage, Twilight waved at him when he looked at her, but she got a little concerned, as she looked around, Sunset Shimmer didn’t seem to be anywhere.
“Has anyone seen Sunset Shimmer?” She asked Rainbow, shouting over the loud music.
“Maybe she was too embarrassed to show!” Rainbow replied, “She's gotta know you won by a landslide!”
“Maybe…” Twilight responded, not so sure.
The music came to an end as Principal Celestia came on the stage, Microchips turned off the coloured lights and turned on the spotlights as Celestia stood in the middle.
“First off, I wanna say how wonderful everything looks tonight. You all did a magnificent job pulling things together after the unfortunate events of earlier,” she announced as Vice Principal Luna walked on stage with a chest, inside was Twilight’s crown, “And now, without further ado, I'd like to announce the winner of this year's Fall Formal crown. The Princess of this year's Fall Formal is...” she paused for effect, “Twilight Sparkle!”
The students cheered and Twilight’s friends were overjoyed by this as they hugged and cheered for Twilight. While everyone was distracted, Snips and Snails snuck into the auditorium. Twilight walked up on stage as Celestia held her crown.
“Congratulations, Twilight,” she replied as she placed the crown on Twilight’s head. The girls and Sam were happy for her that she got her crown back. But then suddenly Twilight heard Spike scream out to her.
“Twilight! Help!” he called out to her.
“Spike?” Twilight questioned as she looked around the auditorium, from where she was, she could see Snips and Snails kidnapping Spike out the back of the auditorium.
“They've got Spike!” cried Twilight as she jumped off the stage and ran out the doors.
She chased after Snips and Snails but as they turned a corner, Twilight couldn’t stop in time and slammed into the lockers. She looked back to see Sam and the girls running after them as well. Snips and Snails ran past Trixie who was getting something from the vending machine, she got up just as Twilight and the rest ran passed, she was very confused.
Snips and Snails ran out the side doors to the school, but Twilight wasn’t far behind. The two kidnappers ran to the statue and hid behind it, just as the girls showed up, Sunset Shimmer stood out from behind the statue, with a sledgehammer in hand.
“That's close enough!” Sunset yelled as she raised the hammer up, ready to swing down into the portal.
“Twilight!” called Spike before getting his muzzle shut by Snails.
“Don’t hurt him!” Twilight snapped.
“Oh, I wouldn't dream of it. I'm not a monster, Twilight,” Sunset Shimmer replied before turning to Snips and Snails, “Let him go.” The two dropped Spike and he ran to Twilight who gave him a hug. Sunset Shimmer spoke up again, “You don't belong here. Give me the crown, and you can go back to Equestria tonight. Or keep it and never go home.” She raises the sledgehammer ready to swing.
Twilight gasped in shock, as Sam scowled. “Tick-tock, Twilight. We haven't got all night,” mocked Sunset Shimmer, “The portal will be closing on its own in less than an hour. So, what's your answer?”
Twilight thought hard, if she gave up her crown, then Sunset would do something terrible to this world, but if she didn’t then Sunset would smash her only chance to get home. She looked at her crown, then to Sam, then she made her decision.
“No!” she replied, sternly.
“What!?” Sunset snapped surprised, “Equestria! Your friends! Lost to you forever! Don't you see what I'm about to do to the portal?!”
“Yes, but I've also seen what you've been able to do here without magic,” Twilight shouted back, “Equestria will find a way to survive without my Element of Harmony. This place might not, if I allow it to fall into your hands. So go ahead. Destroy the portal. You are not getting this crown!”
“Fine. You win,” Sunset said, as she dropped the hammer, just missing Snips and Snails’ feet.
“You... are... so awesome!” cried Rainbow.
“I can't believe you were gonna do that for us!” exclaimed Applejack.
“It's no wonder you're a real live princess!” remarked Rarity.
“Oh, yes, she's so very special!” Sunset growled as she leapt toward Twilight, causing her to fall to the ground and her crown to fall off. Sunset climbed over Twilight to get the crown, but Twilight grabbed her foot and Spike got the crowd, “Grab him, you fools!” Sunset called Snips and Snails.
Snips and Snails jumped and dashed after Spike, Spike looked back to see the two boys catching up, Sunset had managed to get free and pushed Snips and Snails out the way, they got up and chance after Spike, Twilight and the girls were right behind them. Spike ran to the doors, but he couldn’t get them open as Sunset Shimmer came closer. She was about to grab him, when Summer Breeze came up behind her and pulled her back.
“What?!” Sunset snarled as she pushed back at Summer Breeze. She managed to push Summer Breeze’s wig off and was surprised to see that she was the Human Sunset, “What?! How did you get free.”
“Take a guess imposter,” Human Sunset replied as she held her back, “you took my life away from me, so I’m making sure you don't hurt anyone again.”
“Spike, I’m open!” called Rainbow.
Just as Pony Sunset broke out her human counterpart’s grasp, Spike threw the crown to Rainbow. She caught it but Snips and Snails tried to take it back.
“Fluttershy!” Rainbow called to her, as she threw the crown to her. It hit Fluttershy in the back as she spun around and caught it.
But when she saw Pony Sunset, Snips and Snails running towards her, she panicked and froze. Applejack used her lasso to pull Fluttershy out of the way, and it worked but this caused Fluttershy to let go of the crown and Snips caught.
Pinkie pulled it out Snips’ hands then passed it to Applejack, who then tossed it to Rarity, who then threw it to Twilight, who threw it behind her, Sam tried to catch it, but Pony Sunset caught it.
“I'll take that!” She chuckled evilly, “At last! More power than I could ever imagine!”
Just as she placed it on her head, it started to act up, as it surrounded Sunset in corrupted magical rings. Suddenly a beam shot up from below her as Sunset slowly rose into the sky. The Girls and Sam watched in horror at what was happening to her. Students came out to see what was going on, and they were just as shocked. As Sunset rose into the sky, her eyes were streaming with tears, but they just evaporated away as she screamed in pain. Her skin turned a red, her fingers became sharp, four digit claws, her clothes changed to a fiery dress, a pony-like tail grew out her backside and to top it off, she had demon wings, ears, and fangs. When it was over, Sunset looked over herself and laughed evilly at her new body. With her new evil magic, she fired two beams at Snips and Snails, turning them into demons like herself.
“This is gonna be so cool!” Snips said as Snails hissed. The girls all gasped at this.
“Well… I wasn’t expecting that,” Sam remarked.
Twilight snarled at Demon Sunset, but then heard the students scream from the entrance. Demon Sunset heard them too and turned to them.
“I've had to jump through so many hoops tonight just to get my hands on this crown, and it really should have been mine all along,” she growled, “But let's let bygones be bygones. I am your princess now, and you will be loyal... to me!” She used her magic to break a hole in the front of the school and threw the rubble aside. She flies into the school and projects her magic onto the fleeing students, hypnotising them into mindless zombies.
With the student body under her control, Sunset saw within the crowd, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. She used the same magic to turn Snips and Snails in demons on them, turning them into demons as well.
“Round them up and bring them to the portal, you two with me,” Sunset told Snips, Snails, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, before turning to Twilight, “Spoiler alert: I was bluffing when I said I was going to destroy the portal. I don't want to rule this pathetic little high school; I want Equestria! And with my own little teenage army behind me, I am going to get it!”
Within the crowd, Twilight could see Flash, zombie-fied like everyone else. “No, you're not!” Sam said determinately.
“Oh please,” Sunset said, “get the boy.” Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon dove to Sam and held him still.
“Told ya I’ll get you back,” Diamond Tiara hissed in Sam’s face.
“God your breath is just as bad as your face,” Sam remarked only to get held to the ground but the two she-demons.
“What exactly do you think you're going to do to stop me? I have magic, and you have nothing!” Sunset shouted menacingly.
“She has us,” Rainbow confirmed. Twilight smiled back at her friends.
“Gee, the gang really is all back together again,” Sunset laughed evilly as she created a fireball, “Now step aside! Twilight has tried to interfere with my plans one too many times already! She needs to be dealt with!” And she fired the fireball.
The girls jumped in to protect Twilight, “NO!” cried Sam, “Ultrasuit On!” As the Ultrasuit cover his body he threw Diamond and Silver Spoon off his back and ran to stop the fireball.
He stepped in the way just in time before he could make contact with Twilight and her friends.
“What?!” Sunset snarled.
“Huh?” the girls remarked, and Ultraman threw the fireball back at Sunset. The Fireball struck her, causing her to fall to the ground.
“Get back, She-Demon!” Ultraman yelled, as he took a few steps forward. But Sunset just laughed.
“You don’t think I hadn’t planned for you to become Ultraman?” Sunset chuckled evilly, as she pulled out a device with two capsules.
“Wait, that’s not…?” Ultraman said, hoping to Celestia it wasn’t what he thought it was.
“Oh it is,” Sunset said, as she started, “Zetton!” She activated the Zetton capsule and placed it in the Loading Knuckle. “Pandon!” She activated the Pandon capsule and placed it in the Loading Knuckle as well. After putting the capsules in the Loading Knuckle, she then slid the Riser across the capsules, getting their DNA and then pressing the switch.
“Fusion Rise: Zetton, Pandon! Ultraman Belial: Zeppandon!” A dark tornado surrounded Sunset as she grew to a massive height. Once the tornado disappeared, in Sunset’s place was a giant monster, a fusion of monsters. Zeppandon.
Sunset laughed like a mad woman inside the monster, as she fired a bullet of fire toward the girls, but Ultraman blocked them with a Specium Shield. Ultraman raised his arms to the sky, then grew to the same height as Zeppandon, ready to fight the monster. Ultraman ran towards the monster and the two started to tussle, with Ultraman landing a few punches, and Zeppandon landing a couple of slashes. Zeppandon taunted Ultraman who returned that with a headbutt and a chop to the head. In a sort of blind rage, Ultraman cried out, as he tried to lift the heavy monster, but as he was about to throw Zeppandon away from the school, Zeppandon fired its Fire Bullets at Ultraman causing the Ultra to drop Zeppandon onto himself.
Sunset was enjoying firing Ultraman, as she kicked him in the stomach, then smacked him in the face with a claw. Sam within Ultraman was trying to get his anger under control, after all, the monster inside his head had been destroyed, But it seemed when his family was put in danger, he felt himself losing control of his anger. He diploid his Specium Blades and ran towards Zeppandon, but he couldn’t get close enough to use them, as Zeppandon used its Fire Bullets to keep Ultraman back. Once he was able to get close enough, his blades did next to nothing to hurt Zeppandon, who simply smacked Ultraman to the ground with a backslap to the face.
Ultraman stood back and fired a Specium slash at the monster, but Zeppandon just caught it in its mouth and ate it. Ultraman then tried a Specium Beam, but Zeppandon just summoned a pair of green hexagonal energy shields from its ‘ears’ and blocked the attack, but then before Ultraman could react in time, Zeppandon fired two purple rays from ‘Pandon’ heads striking the Ultra in the chest and knocking him to the ground.
“You’re too weak!” cried Sunset within Zeppandon, “You can’t defeat me, I will destroy you and take over Equestria!”
“Not if I stand in your way!” Ultraman shouted.
Zeppandon looked to the sky, and fired its Fire Bullets into the air, Ultraman looked up and saw what Sunset had planned. The Fire Bullets were fired in a straight line, but as they came back down, they spread out and rained down like bombs onto Ultraman. A few even landed near Twilight and the rest. The girls screamed as they shielded Twilight from one that came crashing on top of them.
“MUM! NO!” Sam shouted, reaching out to where they were.
“Looks like you couldn’t protect what matters most to you,” Sunset laughed.
Ultraman turned to face Zeppandon fury burning in his eyes, “I swear, I will cut your head off and crush it with a steam roller!” Ultraman yelled, but just before he could do anything, a light shone behind him, he turned back around and saw something he couldn’t believe.
A pink force field was surrounding Twilight and her friends and it had protected them from Sunset's attack. The girls were just as shocked as Sunset and Sam, the girls surrounding Twilight were holding each other’s hands, and then it finally clicked for Twilight.
“The magic contained in my Element was able to unite with those that helped create it!” Twilight called out to Sunset as magic started to flow out of her crown, out the yellow gem on Zeppandon’s head and down onto Twilight and everyone.
The magic started to transform Twilight and everyone, giving them Pony ears, and wings to Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash, their hairs also extended, giving the illusion of ponytails. Even human Sunset gain pony ears. Twilight called out each of the elements as she and her friends gained the ears, wings, and extensions.
“Honesty! Kindness! Laughter! Generosity! Loyalty! Forgiveness! Magic!” her voice echoed, as Sunset tried to escape and pull back, but Ultraman with his mask back on, held her still and even slammed her into the ground and pinned her there, “Together with a crown, they create a power beyond anything you could imagine, but it is a power you don't have the ability to control! The crown may be upon your head, Sunset Shimmer, but you cannot wield it, because you do not possess the most powerful magic of all: the magic of friendship!"
The seven girls formed a heart shape and between them all, fired a spiralling rainbow beam up into the air, which then fired down upon Ultraman, empowering him with their power. Ultraman could feel the power run through him, as his Specium energy turned from blue to rainbow colours.
“The Love of Family, the Magic of Friendship and the Faith of Others, all run through me,” Sam remarked, “It gives me my power, it’s what makes me strong. I am Sam! I am Ultraman!”
“You are such an annoying brat!” yelled Sunset as she used her dark powers to upgrade Zeppandon, giving it wings and the gem of its head turned purple.
Zeppandon fired its Fire Bullets at Ultraman, with his Rainbow Specium Blades diploid, Ultraman deflected them, and even sliced one in half, as he ran forward and slashed down on Zeppandon’s head, causing loads more pain than before. Zeppandon stumbled back, as Ultraman fired two Rainbow Specium Slashes, Zeppandon summoned its shield again, but the Slashes were strong enough to shatter the shield and damage Zeppandon.
“It broke through the shields!” Sunset shouted.
“The Magic of Friendship is the strongest source of power when used with the right hands!” Ultraman bellowed, as he charged up all the power he had, and fired a incredibly strong blast of a Rainbow Specium Beam. Zeppandon tried to fly out of the way, but the beam struck the monster before it could get its talons above the school. The Rainbow Specium Beam destroyed Zeppandon as the girls charged their magic and fired a rainbow up into the air, which then came down and surrounded Sunset Shimmer in a Rainbow Tornado.
“No!” screamed Sunset from within the Rainbow Tornado, “What is happening?!”
“Here and in Equestria, it is the only magic that can truly unite us all!” Twilight echoed as from the girls, a smaller rainbow beam struck Flash in the head freeing him from being hypnotist, it then split to the other students freeing them as well.
Even four beams struck Snips, Snails, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon reverting them as well. When it was all over, the students looked out the hole in the school and saw Twilight and her friends all collapsed on the floor. Spike went up to Twilight and liked her cheek, waking her up. She sat up and opened her arms for Spike to jump into for a hug. Ultraman landed and his mask retracted again, Sam helped Twilight up and then gave her a hug. The three then notice the shock on their friends' faces as they look to where Sunset had fallen.
There was a giant, smoking crater in front of the school and lying at the bottom of it was a weakened Sunset Shimmer, who had also reverted back to normal.
“You will never rule in Equestria. Any power you may have had in this world is gone,” Twilight spoke down to her, “Tonight, you've shown everyone who you really are. You've shown them what is in your heart.”
“I-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry,” Sunset cried, tears pouring down her face, “I didn't know there was another way.”
“The magic of friendship doesn't just exist in Equestria. It's everywhere,” Twilight remarked, “you can seek it out, or you can forever be alone. The choice is yours.”
“But... But all I've ever done since being here is drive everyone apart,” Sunset cried as she climbed to the rim of the crater, “I don't know the first thing about friendship.” Twilight reached down and grabbed her hand, and Sam helped her up.
“I bet they can teach you,” Twilight said softly, motioning to her friends.
“Those are my girls! Woo-hoo!” called Spike.
“Did that dog just talk?” Glamrock Freddy questioned, “Whoa. Weird.”
“Seriously? The talking dog is a weird thing about all this?” Spike remarked.
“I, for one, think you're adorable,” Rarity said as she picked him up and gave him scratches behind the ear.
“Oh, yeah,” Spike responded.
“I believe this belongs to you,” Principal Celestia said, holding Twilight’s crown, Twilight lowered herself, “A true princess in any world leads not by forcing others to bow before her, but by inspiring others to stand with her. We have all seen that you are capable of just that. I hope you see it too, Princess Twilight.”
“I do,” Twilight replied, and the students all cheered. Behind Twilight, Flash reached out his hand.
“Would now be a completely awkward time to ask you for that dance?” he asked. Twilight looked to the moon, she guessed she had a little more time before she needed to head home. She just giggled and took Flash’s hand.
The dance was back on. And everyone partied harder than ever before. Applejack danced with Big Mac, as Rarity and Pinkie did the conger with Lupinia, Monty, Ace, and Chica. The CMC were dancing with Sam again, when suddenly Scootaloo was swept away by Rainbow Dash who threw her onto her back and flew around the Auditorium.
Twilight was really enjoying herself, she was dancing like a pony on all fours, she didn’t know she was making a scene, but Flash didn’t mind as he joined in with her.
“That’s my mum!” yelled Sam, “ha-ha!”
Vinyl was DJing in her own little booth, singing to the song being played, as Photo Finish called Twilight and her friends together for a photo. The whole dance though, human Sunset had something on her mind.
Soon it was time for Twilight, Spike and Sam to go home, the girls gave them a big hug, Twilight then spotted Pony Sunset by the destroyed front of the school.
“You'll look out for her, won't you?” Twilight asked.
“Of course we will,” Rarity assured her, “Although I do expect some sort of apology for last spring's debacle.”
“I have a feeling she'll be handing out a lot of apologies,” Twilight replied, as Vice Principal Luna gave Sunset a cement shovel, and Snips and Snails came in with a wheelbarrow full of bricks.
“We better get going,” Sam said. Twilight nodded before turning back to her friends.
“I know we've only been friends for a short time, but I'm gonna miss all of you so much,” she said, their friends had sad but happy expressions on their faces. Just as Twilight, Spike and Sam turned to walk to the portal. Human Sunset came running up to them.
“Twilight wait,” she called out.
“What is it Sunset?” Twilight asked.
“I’m coming with you,” she replied, “I’ve thought about it, and in order for Pony Sunset to learn friendship, she needs to stay here, this world doesn’t need two Sunsets. It’s clear, this is her home now, it’s time for me to find a new home. Plus, I want to see this little champ grow up.”
Sam gasped and ran to hug her, “welcome to the family,” Sam muttered into Sunset’s dress.
“Come then,” Twilight said, “let’s go home.” The four then started to walk to the portal.
“That crown really does suit you, Princess Twilight,” Spike remarked.
“You know what, Spike?” Twilight said, “I am starting to feel a little more comfortable wearing it.”
“And the wings?” Spike asked.
“I've been walking on two legs and picking things up with these!” Twilight responded, “Wings? I'm thrilled that's all I'll be dealing with back in Equestria!”
“Is there anything I should worry about?” Sunset asked.
“Just a horn,” Sam replied as the four walked through the portal.
Just as they walked through, the moon reached its highest point, closing the portal and cutting magic off from the human world, reverting the girls back to normal. Pinkie ran forward and smacked into the statue, proving that it was now just a solid wall.
“Oh, bummer,” she remarked.
Back in Equestria, everyone was waiting in front of the mirror for Twilight, Sam, and Spike to come out. It had been three days and Twilight was cutting it close. Suddenly the mirror began to glow and out stepped Twilight on her back hooves before she fell back to all fours.
“Twilight!” cried Fluttershy.
“Ah, you’re back!” shouted Rainbow.
“You’ve got your crown back!” yelled Rarity.
“I knew you could do it!” screamed Pinkie.
“Oh, we were so worried,” responded Applejack.
“Sunset Shimmer, is she alright?” asked Princess Celestia.
“I think she's gonna be fine,” Twilight replied, “I left her in good hands. In fact, I brought a friend back home.”
Just as she said that the portal glowed again, and out stepped Sunset. She stumbled forward and fell to the ground.
“Don’t worry,” Twilight assured them, “this isn’t the same THE Sunset from before.”
“Hello,” Sunset greeted, “wow this place is beautiful. And all of you look so cute as ponies.”
The ponies were all confused, “did she get hit in the head or something,” Rainbow whispered to Applejack.
Then portal spat out Spike and Sam, “I’m home!” Sam responded before getting grabbed by his siblings to be brought into a bone shattering hug.
“Do not run off like that again,” Kerry said.
“Guys… you’re breaking my bones,” Sam gasped within the tight grip of his siblings.
“Where did you stay?” asked Fluttershy.
“What did they wear?” questioned Rarity
“Did ya have fun?” queried Pinkie.
“What'd ya eat?” quizzed Applejack.
“Would ya say she's just as awesome as me?” suspected Rainbow.
“I wanna tell you everything, I do, but I'm just so exhausted from all the dancing,” Twilight replied, “Sunset, do you think you could answer their questions?”
“Dancing?!” exclaimed, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack Rainbow, and Cadence.
“Yeah I’ll tell you everything from my perspective,” Sunset told them. Suddenly Twilight bumped into the same pony from when she first came to the crystal empire a few days ago.
“We've got to stop bumping into each other like this,” he remarked as he trotted away.
“Who was that?” Twilight asked.
“He's a new member of the castle guard. Flash Sentry, I think,” Cadence replied, “Why? Do you know him?”
“Not exactly,” Twilight replied blushing.
“Oooh! Somepony's got a crush on the new guy!” Applejack teased.
“No. No, I don't,” Twilight responded blushing.
“She does! She absolutely does!” Rarity gasped.
“Don't be ridiculous,” Twilight remarked, trying to act all professional, “I don't even know him. He just...”
“Totally reminds you of a guy you met in the other world who played guitar, was in a band, and helped prove you didn't destroy all the decorations for a big dance, so you could still run for princess of the big dance, and then asked you to dance at that dance?!” Pinkie said in one big breath, “Right?”
“How did you know that?” Twilight asked.
“Just a hunch!” Pinkie replied.
Twilight just rolled her eyes and brought Sam and Spike close to her. Sunset came closer and joined them.
“I think I’m going to like it here,” she said.
“Oh you will,” Twilight replied, “you can sleep with me at my place until we find a place for you.”
“Thanks,” Sunset said then she saw that Sam had something on his mind, “is something wrong little buddy?”
“Well, it’s just that we met all of the human versions of you, Pinkie and the rest,” Sam said, “but where was that world’s Twilight and Spike?”
“I don’t know,” Twilight replied, “maybe one day we'll find the answer to that. But for now, I just did the rest.”
Back in the human world, Sunset, Snips and Snails had headed home for some rest so they could start work in the morning. The night was still and barely any cars drove past or people were up and about. Except for one. The figure looked about the same size and age as Twilight, but she wore a hoodie, so her face was hidden by the hood.
This girl had a reason to come to CHS at this hour. She looked around the ground and found what she was looking for. A blood patch from when Sam bled from Sunset’s scratch. She got some special liquid, and rag, and absorbed the blood and drained it into a flask.
With this done, she did the same with the light blue patch of blue that was from the Ultra suit. With both flasks having Sam and the Ultrasuit’s blood the girl turned and walked back home in the dead of the night.
