//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: Coming Together // Story: My Little Pony: Equestria Girls -Alternate Universe- // by Lolxdnoobxd //------------------------------// Last time... (Now How do I make this sound like a Flashback...) “I have something I need you to do...” “Alright, I want you 2 to make a big mess of this place maybe a lot to frame Sunset Shimmer...” “You got it Twilight Sparkle”. Snips and Snails said. Later... All the Students were now walking around wearing the Wondercolt ears and tails it seemed the Cafeteria song from the last chapter had worked. “Doesn't everyone look just fabulous?”. Sunny Flare said. “Yeah, Great Idea to suggest wearing these Sunny! And it was a good idea to make a Music video Lemon”. Sunset Shimmer Replied. But then Sugarcoat noticed Twilight Sparkle and her minions walking by with a Smile on her face. “Don't know what she's smiling about. Sunset's the one that's gonna be Princess of the Fall Formal.” Though They Ignored everyone while the goons just made faces at the other students for who knows what reason but then they stopped by a door with a Sun next to it. *Knock Knock Knock* (Yes Sound effects deal with it) “Vice Principal Celestia! Something terrible has happened!”. Vice Principal Celestia looked at Her Confused but followed her to the Gymnasium when they went inside the place was completely destroyed and a lot was damaged. “Isn't this just awful? And after Lemon Zest worked so hard to make things so perfect! Why would Sunset Shimmer do something like this?”. Twilight said in a sad sarcastic voice. “Yes... It is such a shame Lemon Zest did do a better job than last year but Why would you think Sunset was responsible for something like this?”. Vice Principal Celestia asked. “Because I have proof.” Twilight then grabbed some pictures that looked like Sunset destroying everything in the Gymnasium was this her plan all along? to frame Sunset? but a Certain Blue haired boy was watching Twilight from behind and it seemed he was not letting her get away with it. “Sunset Shimmer.” Vice Principal Celestia said. “Uh...Yes”. Sunset replied. “I need you in my office right now we have some things to discuss”. “Uh.. Okay”. Sunset Looked back at her friends and all were giving her a very concerned look. Later in Vice Principal Celestia’s office, after discussing what happened Sunset was of course very confused. “But... But I don't understand!”. Sunset Said. “This is clearly you in the photographs, is it not?”. Vice Principal Celestia Said. “Yes but..” “I think it should be fairly obvious that the school cannot let someone who would do something like this compete for the Fall Formal crown.” Sunset looked at the Vice Principal who was gazing at her she shrunk down at her gaze but then a Knock on the door caught their attention. “Vice Principal Celestia. I found these in a trash can in the library. Thought you should see them. Someone obviously combined these photos to make it look like Sunset was the one who trashed the gym.” The same Blue Haired boy from before came in with what seemed to be pictured with cuts in them. Vice Principal Celestia Examined the Pictures and it seemed to match perfectly with one another. “ I appreciate you bringing these to my attention, Flash. In light of this new evidence, you may of course continue your bid to be crowned the Princess of the Fall Formal.” “Thank you! You have no idea how important this is to me!” Sunset said Running up to Flash and giving him a big hug and the Curtains magically went up don't ask me how. “(chuckles) What was I gonna do? Not prove your innocence? Wouldn't be much of a Canterlot Wondercolt, would I?” “I am afraid enough damage has been done to the gym that we will have to postpone the dance until tomorrow night. If you will excuse me, I need to let Luna know about this latest development.” “So, uh, I was wondering. If you aren't already going with somebody, wanna go to the Fall Formal with me tomorrow night?” Flash sentry Asked Sunset. Sunset happily looked at him and her face was more red than a tomato.“That would be... “ but then... “Wait! Tomorrow night!? No, no-no-no-no-no, no no no no no! Nonononono! I can't! The portal! That'll be too late!”. She didn't have time to think as she immediately grabbed her backpack and sprinted out of there. “One "no" would have been fine!”. She Continued sprinting out of Canterlot High and went outside and to Sunny Flare’s Shop and hid in the changing room. “Everything okay in there Sunset?”. Sunny asked. “Yes”. Sunset said. “Only it's not okay. It's not okay at all! If I don't get my crown tonight, I won't be able to go back to Equestria for another Thirty Suns! Oh, what are we gonna do?”. “Hmm. We tell them the truth. Let them know what's really at stake if you don't get the crown tonight. They'll help us figure somethin' out.”. “But what if they won't? What if when they find out how different I really am...?” Sunset said as her reflection changed to her pony form. “Sunset, these girls rallied around you 'cause they saw what was in your heart. They aren't gonna feel any differently about you when they find out you're a pony princess in Equestria.” Garble replied. “I'm glad you followed me here, Garble.” Sunset said Petting her Dog “Me too. Unless, of course, we get stuck here for another thirty Suns.” Sunset now opened the changing room curtain and all of her friends were looking at her with concerned and confused faces. “You okay?” Sugarcoat asked. “The Fall Formal isn't happening tonight.” “WHAT!?”. “It had to be postponed because Twilight Sparkle had Snips and Snails ruin all of Lemon Zest's decorations.” “WHAT?!?”. “But the Fall Formal has to happen tonight.” “Wha–!”. Sugarcoat then covered Lemon Zest’s mouth to stop her. “[sigh] You see...”. Lemon Zest then uncovered her mouth and inhaled deeply “You're from an alternate world and you're a pony princess there and the crown actually has a magical element embedded in it that helps power up other magical elements, and without it, they don't work anymore, and you need them to help protect your magical world, and if you don't get the crown tonight, you'll be stuck in this world and you won't be able to get back for, like, a really, really long time!”. After she said it Sunset and Garble’s Mouths fell to the floor (Not literally though). “Magical elements?, Alternate world?, Pony Princesses? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that isn't the reason.” Indigo Zap said. “Nope, she's pretty much spot-on,” Garble Replied everybody except Lemon Zest gasped and looked at him in shock. “He can talk!?”. “Oh, yeah! And back where I come from, I'm not even a dog! I'm a ferocious, fire-breathing dragon!”. Sour Sweet Immediately pushed everyone away and looked at Garble excitedly “This is so amazing! Tell me, what are you thinking right now?” “Sure would love a scratch behind the old ears!”. Garble said Looking at Sunny Flare. “Gah...” “Uh, maybe later.” “How did you know all that?”. Sunset asked Lemon still in shock. “Just a hunch.” “Wait a minute! Lemme get this straight. You're a pony?” “You're a princess?” “You're from another world?” Sunset Gulped While Nodding Nervously about what her New Friends would think of her. “That... Is... Awesome! ”. Indigo Zap Yelled Then all of Sunset’s Friends gathered around her with excited overlapping words. Sunset looked down at Garble who is smirking at her. “See? What did I tell ya?”. They all went back to Canterlot High and entered the gymnasium and all they saw was a lot of Destroyed decorations scattered everywhere “I simply cannot believe they did all this!”. Sunny Flare said Disgusted by what she saw. Lemon Zest Sighed. “If I only had some kind of... party cannon that could decorate everything super fast!” (Oh don’t worry lemon you will! soon...) Sunset turned around and looked back at her friends. “ I know it seems impossible, but, maybe if we all work together?” “Now that's the kinda can-do spirit I'm lookin' for in a Fall Formal Princess! Come on guys! Let's do this!”. Sugarcoat, Indigo Zap, Lemon Zest, Sour Sweet, and Sunny Flare all put their hands together and looked at Sunset Sunset hesitated for a second but then put her hand in with the rest and they all cheered.

They all looked at the Gymnasium it is now all fixed up and with new decorations set up. “This... looks... sooooo... GOOD!” Lemon Zest Said In the gymnasium doors, Principal Luna and Vice Principal Celestia were both waiting and Principal Luna was Clapping impressed at what she saw. “ All right, everyone! Fall Formal is back on for this evening, So you'd better get out of here and start getting ready. Oh, and don't forget to cast your ballots for the Fall Formal Princess on your way out!” As all the Students were heading out, they said they were going to vote for Sunset. (Wow how the tables have turned haven't they?) Twilight was looking out of the Closet and she got angry that her plan had failed. “You're lucky she was able to pull this off. Next time I ask you to make a mess of things, try to show a little restraint! I need this Formal to go on tonight just as much as she does.” “Well, Girls. I say we did a great job at fixing this place up” Sunset Shimmer said looking proudly at the others. “Heck yeah, we did! teamwork makes the dream work!” said Indigo Zap Sugarcoat put a hand on Indigo Zap’s shoulder. “It sure does, why dont we head off and start preparing for the formal?” All the girls nod as they leave the school and return to the boutique to get themselves ready that evening. “ I still can't believe we pulled that off!” Sour Sweet said. “I can! Cause We're awesome!” “Enough chatter, girls. We need to get ready, and we need to look fabulous!”. To be Continued... In the Final Chapter!
