//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: Canterlot High School and Meeting Sour Sweet, Lemon and Sugarcoat // Story: My Little Pony: Equestria Girls -Alternate Universe- // by Lolxdnoobxd //------------------------------// Dizzy from the Journey across worlds, Sunset blacked out after landing she felt sore after hitting the concrete very hard upon landing. “Sunset...” She heard a familiar Muffled voice calling her name but her ears kept ringing like she had tinnitus. “Ugh... Who’s there...?” Sunset Groaned “Uh, Sunset”. The voice slowly became more clearer by the second and now knew who exactly it was. “uh? Garble! You're not supposed to– “ She stopped after she got a clear glance at her Dragon but he wasn’t a Dragon here instead he was a different Creature. “Garble? Are you a... dog?”. her eyes Scrunched after looking at him for a good minute. Sunset watched as Garble was now a Red dog with yellow ears and an Orange tuft on his head and baring his Purple eyes. “ I... think so”. The dog said in Garble’s Voice (Spike’s Voice actually). “But I have no idea what you are!”. Garble said after looking at Sunset. “Huh?”. She raised her brow after what Garble said then she Raised her Forehooves but... they weren’t hooves Instead what Sunset saw looked like Garble’s Claws back in Equestria but not with the long nails on the end instead she had Hands and her coat was gone instead she had Hairless Skin with the color of her coat replacing them. Upon Realizing that Sunset’s Body was not Her body, Sunset’s Mind went from Muted to Completely Overwhelmed in a split second and she led out an Uncontrollable scream of Horror. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”. Before having the strength to cover her mouth. She looked at her new limbs and moved her fingers at the end of her hands which used to be Hooves. She didn’t like the movement because this felt very Unnatural to her and the wiggling looked strange almost Unsightly to look at. She looked down at herself and she saw a new set of clothes and a skirt barring her Cutie mark back in Equestria. “Sunset, you have to get it together!”. Garble said looking worried at the reaction of Sunset looking at her body. Sunset quickly got back together and put her hands into a fist and sat like a pony. “[sigh] What... does the rest of me look like?”. Garble quickly looked at her a lot examining what she had looked like. “I can’t... describe it... Um, like you. Only not you”. then he quickly glanced at Sunset again and saw that her muzzle shrunk a lot and looked like his nose back when he was a Dragon in Equestria. “ Your muzzle's really small.” “My muzzle?!”. Sunset yelled and boop it she quickly began to panic again! and was about to scream but then Garble quickly covered her mouth before she let out another scream of horror. “Are you gonna scream again?”. Sunset quickly shook her head. “Where are we?”. Garble said examining their surroundings. they also noticed that the Sun was up and there were lots of creatures walking around Shouldn’t they be sleeping it's the middle of the day! Sunset thought. Hmmm Maybe day and night are the opposite in this world boy do I have to get used to that! “I don't know. But that must serve as the gateway back to Equestria”. She said pointing at the statue and putting her hand in it then shook her head again. “We need to find my crown as soon as possible and get back there. I suggest we start searching the castle first.” Garble looked at the “Castle” but it kinda looked a bit strange for a castle but he shrugged it off. “Works for me.” he got on Sunset’s back like he always does and they ran towards the “Castle” After walking for a bit they got odd looks from others then they passed by someone with a dog standing on both legs and Garble patted Sunset’s back getting her attention and pointing at the man and dog who both looked back. “Yeah, I don't think that's how the new you are supposed to–”. Then Sunset quickly gets up and waves to the guy who shrugged it off and continues walking with his dog. Sunset on the other hand had difficulty walking on both legs as she is not familiar with walking on them unlike walking on all 4s in equestrian. “Whooaaa... Whoa! Ooh... [laughs nervously]”. Sunset yelps then she grabs a hold of some metal bars on a staircase that led to the entrance “Come on Garble. I do not wanna be like this for longer than I have to.” She said still holding on to the metal bars. “Well, look on the bright side. You don't have those pesky wings to worry about anymore.” Garble said before Sunset angrily looked at him. and he gives out a nervous smile. After reaching the door she makes a face that seems like she is using her magic like in Equestria. She tries to go in but when she attempts to she slams Face-First into the door. shaking her head and trying again but nothing happens... “[gasps] My magic! It isn't working!”. She said looking down at Garble “Makes sense. You don't exactly have your horn.” He said looking up “ What?!”. she said Grabbing her Hair trying to find it but he was right she had no horn at all it’s like she was an Earth Pony back in Equestria. “We really need to find you a mirror,” Garble said then Opens the door and the 2 went in and examined the Interior. Sunset spots some Pedestals on her right with some trophies on them and they examine them. “What do you think Garble?”. She asked. “Other artifacts she’s stolen from Equestria?”. then she looks at the Artifacts and spots her reflection and she gasped at her reflection. “What... am I?”. All of a Sudden a bell rings and Other Creatures that looked similar to Sunset Entered the room. In fact, there were So! many that she had a difficult time getting out. She bumped into a lot of people before she rolls out of the crowd and she bumps into a boy with blue hair which oddly looked familiar. “ Whoa.” He speaks up and Extends his arms toward her. “You ok?”. Sunset grabs his hand with a fist... then she realizes that she has to extend it first so she did and gets up nods at the boy and walks away. “Yeah... I don't think this is a Castle Sunset.” Garble speaks up [A Strange New World by Sunset Shimmer] (Original by 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 Sunset and Garble continue to walk around the hallways looking at other students although Sunset has no idea where she was going in this new world. Suddenly she hears a voice that sounds familiar she peaks around the corner and sees a Lavender and gold girl although the gold one seemed a bit scared. “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.” said the Girl with the gold Skin and freckles. “ 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.” said the Lavender girl yelling at her. “t... doesn't really belong to you, either.” the other girl said quietly “Excuse me?!”. “N-n-nothing...” “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.” the lavender girl said pointing at her. At this point, Sunset couldn’t stand this situation. How dare that Lavender girl yells at her like that for just stealing something and being such a bully! “ How dare you speak to her that way!”. Sunset said stepping up for the girl. The Purple haired Girl heard what she said and turned around. “What did you say?”. “I said, "How dare you speak to her that way!". She yelled back The Two looked at each other for a bit before the Purple haired girl smirked and put her finger under Sunset’s chin and flicks it up. “ You must be new here. I can speak to anyone any way I want,” she said walking away and looking at a nerd who quickly hid himself in a locker. “ I can't believe you did that!”. The rose-haired Girl speaks up and looked at sunset Bewildered by what she had done. “ I couldn't just stand there,” Sunset said looking back at the rosed-haired girl. “ Well, it's just that nobody ever stands up to Twilight Sparkle”. “Twilight Sparkle?!”. Sunset said looking back and seeing that Twilight had walked away. “You’ve heard of her?”. “Sort of...” “ I don't think I've seen you around before. Did you just transfer to Canterlot High from another school?”. The rose-haired girl asked Sunset. “Um...” Sunset had to think of an Excuse but she couldn’t make one so she had to go with her Gut instincts. “yes! Another... heh, school! My name's Sunset.” Dammit that was Terrible! she thought. “Im... Sour Sweet.” The girl said in a whisper. “Sorry, what was that?”. “It’s Sour Sweet!”. The Girl said even softer. “ It sounds like you're saying Sour Sweet, but how can that...?”. Then Sour Sweet Notices Garble. “Oh, my goodness!”. She ran straight towards Garble and knocked Sunset back a bit. “Who's this sweet little guy?”. “That's Garble! My, uh... dog!” “Oh, he's so cute!”. Sour Sweet quickly dig into her Backpack and pulled out a dog biscuit and gave it to him. “Go on, eat up, little pup!”. At first, Garble looked and smelled the treat after taking a nibble he instantly liked it and chomped down on it. “Oh, wouldn't ya just give anything to know what they're really thinking?”. Sour Sweet said happily looking at Garble. “He usually just tells me.” “Oh, w-what do you mean?”. Sour Sweet looked back at her Confused. Garble quickly realized what had happened and barked, to avoid blowing their cover. “Oh, uh, nothing! (chuckles) Never mind”. Sunset quickly changed the Subject. “ Twilight said you picked something up. Something that belonged to her. It wasn't a crown, was it?” “How did you know?”. Sour Sweet asked who looked Confused again. “Uh, lucky guess? Do you still have it?”. “Mm-mm.” Sour Sweet shook her head. “But you know what happened to it.” “Mm-hmm”. She nodded. “This morning, I was passing out flyers for the animal shelter like I do every Wednesday” *FLASHHHHHHHHHHBACKKKKKKKKKKKKK!* “Canterlot's animal shelter needs more volunteers. Won't you help an animal that can't help itself?”. But no one was taking any flyers. Sour Sweet just sat on the ground and whimpered for a few seconds then suddenly something hit her on the back of the head. “Ow!”. she yelped picking up the crown. *End of Flashback* “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 Luna.” Sour Sweet said while petting Garble. “Principal Luna? She's the ruler here?”. Sunset asked “you could say that. Technically, I guess she and Vice Principal Celestia do make the rules.”. she said confused “So where is she now?”. Sunset asked “She is probably in her office it’s the third door on your left.” Sour Sweet said Sunset quickly ran to her office but before she could “Oh, wait!” she yelled getting Sunset’s attention and she turns around. “You're not really supposed to have pets on school grounds. Might wanna tuck him into your backpack. That's what I do.” she whispers before 3 animals pop out of her bag which is a bunny a bird and a cat. “They just get so lonely when I'm in school all day.” she picks them up but then all of a sudden the school bell rings and Sour Sweet’s eyes widened. “Oh no! I'm late for class! Bye Sunset and thanks for standing up for me!” she yelled before running to her next class. “You're welcome!” Sunset yelled as she headed towards the Principal’s Office *knock knock knock knock* “Come in.” a familiar voice said as Sunset opened the door... Using her head. “How may I help you?” Principal Luna said After Sunset came into the room and just smiled at Principal Luna for a few seconds. Luna looked at her confused. “Are you here to ask a question?”. Sunset shook her head and then put her backpack on the ground “Um, uh... Whew. My name's Sunset Shimmer. I-I'm new here, and... Well, I understand that Sour Sweet found a crown this morning and gave it to you.” “Yes”. Principal Luna said while nodding. “I've had Vice Principal Celestia put it somewhere for safekeeping. No idea how it ended up on the front lawn. Were you interested in running for Princess of the Fall Formal this year?”. “Uh, no. Not exactly. The truth is... Well, the truth is I... You see, the crown is actually...” Then Sunset realized what Principal Luna just said. “ Princess of the Fall Formal?”. Sunset asked confused. “ It's Canterlot High's big Fall dance.” “Like the Great Galloping Gala!”. Sunset excitedly said. “Great Galloping Gala?”. Principal Luna said Confused looking at Sunset. “Oh, uh, it was a big deal at my old school,” Sunset said trying not to get caught “ And was there a princess?” “Yes, but she wasn't exactly a student.” Sunset looks at the wall on the other side and she sees pictures of Twilight with a crown and being the princess of the fall formal every year. “I see...” she stares at Sunset “Here at Canterlot High, the students select one of their peers to represent them. She receives her crown at the Fall Formal.” Sunset thinks for a moment as she goes to the exit and grabbing for her backpack “hmmm.... You asked me if I was Interested in Running for Princess can anyone run?”. “Yes. You just need to let the head of the Fall Formal planning committee know you'd like to be on the ballot. Was there anything else?” Principal Luna said as she is about to close the door. “Um, nope! That was it!”. Sunset said Smiling nervously “Well, if you do need anything else, my door is always open.” Principal Luna smiled as she closed the door fully. “ Sunset, why didn't ya just tell her the crown was yours and ask for it back?” Garble said as he looked at Sunset. “ 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!” Sunset Yelled not knowing a nerd was behind her hearing the entire conversation. “ Hmm... I guess You make a good point.” He said also not knowing someone was behind them. “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!” Sunset yelled while smiling. “And how exactly do you plan on doing that?” Garble asked. “I have no idea!” Then once again The Bell rang and Sunset quickly hid herself from the crowd. During Lunch period Sunset Enters the Cafeteria and she spots Sour Sweet grabbing some food she decides to do the same thing and she grabs the same food she’s grabbing. “Hey! I know we just met”. Sunset tells Sour Sweet while grabbing her food. “but I was wondering if you’d like to help me with something”. “Of course!”. Sour Sweet Replied while grabbing some Salad and Sunset did the same. “I’ve decided to run for Princess of the Fall Formal and-”. Before Sunset could finish her sentence Sour Sweet gasped and drops her salad in shock and staining Sunset’s Clothes. “Oh jeez!”. Sour Sweet yelled Grabbing a bunch of napkins and quickly Cleaning Sunset’s clothes. “Im so sorry! It’s just that... Running for Fall Formal Princess is a Very bad Idea!”. “whys that?”. Sunset Replied while Sour Sweet is cleaning her. “Twilight Sparkle wants to be Fall Formal Princess, and when she wants something, She gets It!”. Sour Sweet yelled softly while they headed towards a table. “Whenever someone tries to run against Twilight she Humiliates them in front of everyone and she always wins by default!”. Sunset’s eyes widened at what she was hearing. “At first she acts so nice to her opponents but that's just the first part after that she acts extremely mean and cruel and she doesn't care if her actions hurt anyone that's just how she is! just ask the girl who ran against her for Princess of the Spring Fling”. Sour Sweet says as both of them find their table and eat their food. “I have to try!”. Sunset yells while both of them are eating “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...” After explaining the different groups Sunset is oddly confused on why everyone is so apart from each other. “Why is Everypony--”. Garble slaps Sunset on the back of the head while Sour Sweet looks at her confused. “Uh... Everybody! separated this way?”. “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.” Sour Sweet said while looking down and eating her food. “Not if I can help it!”. Sunset said before slamming her head on the table to take a bite of her apple and chewing it. Sour Sweet’s eyes widened at what Sunset just did and looked at her Confused. Sunset quickly realized what she did and quickly adjusted giggling nervously. “So uh... Where can I find the Head of the Party Planning Committee?”. there was no one Inside the Gym since the Fall Formal will be held inside the Gym. it was Quickly emptied in order to decorate it. After Opening the doors Sunset saw that the room was already decorated a lot along with tables and balloons and streamers on top. Then all of a Sudden Sunset hears a voice yell. “INCOMING!” Sunset looks up and sees a Bunch of Streamers falling toward her. She quickly ducks from the falling decorations and they cover her entire body. She looks up to see where it came from and she sees a Pink Girl with lime Green hair blowing up some balloons. she walks up to her and introduces herself. “Hi, my name is Sunset Shimmer, and-”. But when the Girl turns around Sunset immediately recognized who it was. “Lemon Zest?’. After hearing her name she let go of the balloon and it deflated in her hair. after that, Lemon grabbed Sunset by the arms and pulled her close... From behind. “ [gasps] Are you psychic?!”. “Uh, no. I don't think so. Unless of course, that's something you can do here.” Sunset said smiling nervously. “[Sighs] Not Usually.” Lemon Zest said before Dropping Sunset on the floor. Sunset quickly gets up and continues her question. “Sour Sweet said this is where I'd find the Head of the Fall Formal Planning Committee.” After hearing Sour Sweet’s name, however, Lemon’s Eyes and tone quickly changed to an Angry-sounding voice. “Sour Sweet huh? Don’t let the whole “Sweet” thing fool you and that's because she is more “Sour” than “Sweet!”. After what Lemon Zest said Sunset’s eyes widened on what she had heard. “You Two arent Friends?!”. Lemon Ignored the Question and slowly walks up to Sunset facing backward. “Waited a bit to get your name on the ballot, huh? Dance is the day after tomorrow.” “I'm brand new here.” “Oooh!”. Lemon looked at her for a second and thought for a bit. “ I thought you didn't look familiar. Though, now that I'm really lookin' at you...” Lemon Zest grabbed Sunset’s arms and did a fast examination on her “Do you have a twin sister who lives in the city, has a pet dog named Garble that looks just like that one?” Lemon said while Pointing at Garble. “Uh, Maybe?”. Sunset replied nervously “Thought so.” then Lemon pulls a Notebook and Pen out of her hair and continues talking “Anyhoo, just need to fill this out and you are officially up for the coveted Princess of the Fall Formal crown.” Sunset stares at Lemon for a second who also stared back. Sunset’s first instinct was to grab it using her mouth like she usually does in Equestria when she’s not using magic. but then Sunset realizes Lemon used her hand she started to sweat a lot but she just blinked at her. Sunset grabbed the Pen out of her mouth and began to write using her hand. although her handing writing Sucked... N-no seriously it sucked A**!. Lemon took only 1 look at the sheet. “Wow! your handwriting looks Horrible! no, seriously this is the worst handwriting I've ever seen! it's like you never held a pen before!/ Sunset laughed and smiled very nervously. “Does it?” she asked. but then all of a Sudden someone had opened the doors of the gym door Sunset looked at it but couldn’t make out who it was due to her face being blocked by boxes. “Somebody ordered a Dozen cases of Sparkling Apple Juice?”. The strange Girl said although Sunset recognized the voice. “Oh, oh, Me, me-me-me, me, yeah, ha-ha, me!” Lemon zest said jumping happily to the girl. After setting the boxes down the girl adjusted her glasses and hat. and Sunset immediately knew who this was. “Hey! Can you bring in the rest?”. Asked Sugarcoat. “Eeyup”. said another boy who she assumed was Big Joe. after grabbing one of the cases Sugarcoat took one look at Sunset Shimmer. “Hey! I know you!” “You do?” Sunset asked getting caught by surprise. “Sure I do!, You’re the new girl who gave Twilight sparkle the what for today,” Sugarcoat said while gulping down some Apple Juice. “Sunset Shimmer here is going to run against Twilight Sparkle for Princess of the Fall Formal!”. Lemon Zest said while blowing up some balloons. Sugarcoat’s eyes widened after hearing what Lemon said and she quickly Spit out the Juice that she was drinking. “I'd think twice about that. Oh, sure, she'll probably approach you all friendly like...” Sugarcoat said before grabbing Lemon zest and drawing on 2 balloons and imitating Twilight and Sunset’s voice. “(In Twilight’s) I Sure am looking forward to some friendly competition. (In Sunsets) That's so good to hear. (Normal Voice) But then, here comes the backstabbin'.” she said after popping the Sunset balloon. “About the only Girl, you can trust less than Twilight Sparkle is Indigo Zap”. “Indigo Zap?”. Sunset said shocked at what Sugarcoat said. “She is like the Captain of every team at Canterlot High”. Lemon Zest said while Bouncing on a balloon then the balloon pops in the background. “She's also the captain of saying she's gonna do somethin' for you and then turning around and not even bothering to show up.” Sugarcoat Angrily said before crossing her arms. “Thanks for the Advice Sugarcoat but this is something I really need to do,” Sunset said while putting an Arm on Sugarcoat’s shoulder. “huh, Suits yourself”. but then Sugarcoat realized that Sunset had said her name “Hey... How did you know my name is Sugarcoat?”. She said while Suspicously looking at Sunset “Um, I uh... [nervous laughter] Didn't you say?” Sunset said while nervously laughing and not trying to get caught. “Nnnope”. Big Joe said while putting in another case of Juice. “Well, it sure was nice meeting you both. I'm sure I'll be seeing you around.” Sunset said before making a quick run to the exit with Garble behind her. Both Sugarcoat and Lemon Zest look at Sunset Confused. Then Lemon was the first to speak. “That Girl is trying to hide a secret but I am totally on to her!”. Then she whispers to Sugarcoat. “She’s Psychic!”. “uh-huh if you say so,” Sugarcoat said looking confused at Lemon Zest. But then the door was suddenly kicked open by someone. it was Twilight Sparkle and her goons Snip and Snails. “This looks Terrible!”. Twilight yells after looking at the room. “There should be more streamers near the stage and fewer balloons.” She said and somehow popping both balloons even though she touched one. “Yeah, Streamers!”. said Snails before ripping a pink streamer. “And Fewer Balloons!”. Said Snips trying to cut the balloons but he fails and falls on the ground not even popping the balloon. “Sparkling Apple Juice? Ugh! This is my coronation, Not a Liquor Party!”. She yells before dropping the bottle on the floor and breaking it “Well, now it’s not gonna necessarily gonna be your coronation this time around,” Sugarcoat said Pointing at Twilight. “ Oh, is that so?” Twilight looked at Sugarcoat with an Evil stare. “You country folk really aren't that bright.” Twilight said before flipping Sugarcoat’s Hat and placing it on her face and patting it .“Must be why the other students say such awful things about you.” Then Sugarcoat breaks her hat out of anger. “Obviously it's gonna be my coronation,” Twilight said Proudly “I'm running unopposed,” she said pointing at herself and smiling. “Not this time!” Lemon said as she took out the Sign up sheet. “The new Girl Sunset Shimmer just signed up!”. she said smiling. “What?!”. Twilight yelled before Lemon handed her the sheet she took 1 good look at it and she gained an evil smile. “Where is this Sunset Shimmer?”. but then the others gave her an odd look then she just smiled. “Im looking forward to meeting the competition!”. she said in a nice voice but Sugarcoat and Lemon Zest knew she was being sarcastic. In the hallway, Sunset was just walking around not knowing where to go next then she comes across a dead end with a broken light that is flickering. “Can't believe I didn't recognize you earlier.” A familiar voice said. Turning around Sunset sees Twilight just staring at her “Shoulda known Princess Luna would send her prized pupil here after my crown, and her little dog, too.” “It's my crown!” Sunset said angrily looking at Twilight. “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 said walking up to Sunset while Smirking. “ 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 said while still staring at Twilight. “Pop quiz: what happens when you bring an Element of Harmony into an alternate world?”. Sunset tried to answer but though she didn't know what would happen. “You don't know? Seriously?” Twilight said while laughing at Sunset “And you're supposed to be Princess Luna's star student? Then again, what were the chances she'd find some pony as bright as me to take under her wing after I decided to leave Equestria? how embarrassing that you were the best pony she could find.” After finishing her sentence Garble growls at her angrily. “Oh, and I’d keep an eye on your Mutt! I hate for him to be... taken away from you.” Twilight said with an evil smile on her face. “Is that a threat?”. Garble said with his paw looking like a fist. “Oh of Course not-”. But Garble Interrupted Twilight by Barking at her. Twilight puts a finger on his mouth “But I'd cut down on the chatter if I were you. Don't want everyone to know you two don't belong here, now would you? You wanna be a princess here? Please. You don't know the first thing about fitting in.” She said before leaving. The two just stared at her but then the light above them broke and the corner became fully dark. As Twilight walks around the hallways after threatening Sunset she sees her goons covered in streamers. She gives them a facepalm before quickly removing the streamers from them. “I want you to go follow this Sunset shimmer”. She asked. “Bring me something I can use just like I did with that last girl who thought she could challenge me.” The two boys gave her a salute. “You got it Twilight Sparkle”. “ When the crown and its power are mine, Sunset Shimmer will be sorry she ever set hoof into this world. Not that she would've been much safer if she'd stayed in Equestria.” Twilight said while monologing to herself But then she hears the two boys behind her. “Yeah in Equestria”. “What are you still doing here?!”. She angrily yells at them. “Go!”. she points to the hallway then the 2 boys bumped into each other before moving on. While In the hallway, Sunset starts to feel hungry but then she spots a Vending machine with lots of food inside but since these don't exist in Equestria she doesn't know what to do. At first, she tried to push it but failed. then she tried to pull it which also fail. her last ditch effort was to kick it like a horse but before she could a pale light Lavender girl walks up to her looking confused. “Excuse me...” she takes 1 look at the vending machine. “The Great and Powerful Starlight!... Needs some Jelly Bread.” she takes out a coin and picks up the jelly bread. “Voilà!” Starlight said proudly before eating the bread”. Sunset looks down with a sad look on her face as she continued to walk down. “Hey, what's wrong Sunset?”. Garble said looking concerned. “Twilight is right Garble. 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.” “Research?’. “Yep! If this place has a school I believe it’s got a...” but then she finds the thing she is looking for. “Library!”. Without hesitation, Sunset quickly ran inside the library and sat down in 1 of the chairs. But she didn't see that snips and snails were right behind the doors though they were glass so I guess she is just blind. “Got your phone?”. Snips quickly pull out a phone of his own. “Got yours?”. “Yep!”. both of them sneakily snip and snailed their way into the library to capture footage for twilight Sunset looked at the computer while she was on the desk then she looks at her hands and then back onto the computer. “So...I just push the letters here, and then the words and moving pictures will come up here?”. She said while typing on the keyboard actually she’s punching it. “yes that's right”. Librarian Cheerilee said being annoyed by Sunset because she is damaging school property, “Maybe this place does have magic.” But then she hears some loud music in the background she sees 3 girls who look just like the CMC back in Equestria (alright I decided to make Silver Spoon Applebloom because she looks similar to Sugarcoat and Diamond Tiara as Sweetie Belle and Bab Seeds as Scootaloo why bab seeds? because she is the closest we got yes I know it's similar to the FIM one just with silver spoon instead of diamond as an apple bloom but this story is for entertainment now let's just move on). “No, just... no!” Cheerillee said angrily as she turned off the CMC’s music. “the school computers are for research purposes only.” “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"?!”. Silver Spoon said while reading through the comments. “Funniest thing they've ever seen, huh?”. Diamond Tiara added then they all had an idea. “Uh... I don’t know that that's what you should take from...” Sunset Couldn’t finish her sentence as the CMC already left. she shrugged it off as she continued to punch the keyboard not knowing that snips and snails are still recording her While in the library Sunset was holding a huge pile of books but then she slipped and dropped them yelling as she fell down. Cheerilee shushed her as this is a library. while snips and snails continue to record her. She tries to pick up the books but she used her mouth. Garble corrects her by pointing at her limbs as she spits out the book she was holding. Then she looks at a printer and tries to figure out how to use it. but then she accidentally presses the copy image button and the bright light caused her to fly up and smash into a pile of books. as Snips and Snails continue to laugh at her while recording her. Voice on P.A. system: “The library will be closing in five minutes” Sunset finally wakes up from her nap then she realized something. “[Gasp] I hadn't even thought about where we're gonna sleep tonight!” she looks down under the table while Garble is reading a book. “Way ahead of you!” he said proudly as Sunset followed her to a different location of the library. then she sees a makeshift bed that Garble had made. “ It's a little [cough, cough] dusty. But it doesn't seem like anybody comes up here,”. he said as he removed the blanket from the bed. Sunset smiled as she lay down on the book bed. “It’s Perfect Garble”. she said while giving Garble a belly rub. “So, how did your research go?”. Garble asked. “ 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 Lemon Zest, Indigo Zap, Sugarcoat, and Sour Sweet, and I'm gonna bet the girl on the far right is Sunny Flare. Upon hearing her name Garble quickly grabbed the book that Sunset was holding and stared at it. “There’s a Sunny Here?!” but then he looks back to see Sunset smirking at him. “Uh... Interesting photo.” he nervously laughed. “It's interesting because they look like they're friends,” Sunset said while pointing at the picture. “ They do look like our friends. But I thought we'd figured that out already.” “No, I mean... they look like they're friends with each other. But it doesn't seem like they're friends now.” “Not so much,” Garble said while looking at the photo. “ I just can't help but get the feeling that Twilight had something to do with it.” “ 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.” he said while his voice started to get softer because he was getting sleepy. “You're right, Garble.” [sigh] “Eye on the prize.” The Moon continues to Shine brightly above this Strange world that Sunset has to get used to she has a long day ahead of herself tomorrow and with the Fall Formal. but she didn't realize the crazy stuff that's gonna happen tomorrow.
