It's a quiet night in Canterlot City, and everyone is calmly fast asleep. However, unknown to anyone, a shadowy figure was walking down the streets. It was a person wearing a hooded black coat that covered his entire body. The sleeves were way to big around and were so long you couldn't even see the person's hands. And due to the hood, the person's face was hidden. "Well, it's that time again," the hooded man said. He raises his one of his arms and from out of his oversized sleeve, a purple streak of light is flies out of it all around. It appears to be a wisp of some sort. A magical wisp of Equestrian magic to be exact. The wisp flies as high as it could into to the zipping around as free as the wind. "Have fun my little friend." As the wisp flies off the hooded man snaps his fingers and instantly vanishes.
The wisp keeps frantically flying around until it finally starts to fly down towards the ground. It suddenly stops its descent and flies straight through the wall of a small house. The wisp is now inside a room that belongs to a small girl. It starts to fly around as if it was observing the room, or even as if it was searching for something. It continues to do so until arriving above the little girl that lives in this room. The girl is fast asleep and is snuggling with a stuffed pony plushy she sleeps with every night. The wisp begins to circle above the sleeping girl before finally flying down and entering the pony plushy. The plushy then slowly rises out of the girl's arms, not waking her up, and it begins to glow a in a magical purple light.
At that moment, the window of the girl's room opens and through it a swift silhouette of a person flies in and lands at the foot of the girl's bed. The person stands straight up, and her appearance comes into view. She appears to be the size of an average teenage girl. She's dressed in a black high-tech cat suit with red fluorescent-like glowing strips illuminating it. She is also wearing a silver belt with two strange devices attached to each side of her waist and black full-face mask over her head with huge white eye-like lenses outlined in more red glowing strips of light. The mysterious girl looks up at the floating plushy and smirks under her mask.
"Heh, found you," the girl says with confidence.
She then hears a faint sound that begins to get louder. It was the sound of a girl screaming and she knew exactly what that meant. She turns towards the window she had previously entered through and saw someone else enter in through the it. It was another girl jumping in doing a flying kick while screaming at the top of her lungs. She flew in like a missile and kept going until she crashes into door at the other side of the room. The first girl pinches the bridge of her nose before looking at the second one who was now leaning against the door upside-down. The second girl is wearing a suit that almost identical to the first ones, only she has blue glowing strips of light on her suit instead of red ones. She eventually makes her way over to the red one, still dizzy from the crash.
"Hey, keep it down," the girl in red whispers to her partner in an enraged voice. "You could wake the kid up."
They both then turn their attention towards the girl in bed, and oddly enough, she's still sleeping. The two girls then give a sigh of relief and redirect their attention to the floating pony plushy. "What do ya think is gonna happen this time?" The Blue one asks with a hint of concern in her voice.
"Prepare for anything," the red one says. "This one, it feels different than all the others we've dealt with."
"You might wanna soundproof the place," the girl in blue says. The girl in red starts to concentrate as a magical aura begins to glow all around her. She spreads her arms as far apart as she could and sends out a magical forcefield that covers every inch of the walls, floor, and ceiling. The field is soundproof, so no one outside the room can hear what was going on inside it.
"That should do it." The two girls then notice a shadow begin to loom over them. The look up and realize the pony plushy, has transformed into a live purple stallion twice their size, with bright red eyes and a mane and tail made of black flames.
The stallion walks up to the two girls and came so close that they could feel the heat radiating from the flames on his body. He huffs smoke from out of his nostrils before screaming as loud as he could, "Fear me!!" The girls almost got knocked over by the sheer sound of his voice before regaining their balance.
"A talking pony," the blue one asks lacking any concern for the situation. "Now that's just weird."
The stallion charges at the two girls before him, leaving a trail of fire behind him. The girls however have no problem jumping out of the way and evading the assault. The blue one lands on top of a dresser that's aligned with Power Pony action figures. Hearing the sound of plastic cracking, she realizes what she landed on and pulls from under her foot a Masked Matter-Horn figure that was now missing an arm and a leg. She jumps from off the dresser and notice that there was a complete set of Power Pony action figures knocked over and/or broken.
"Huh!" She gasps with excitement. "I used to collect toys just like these." She leans in to get a closer look at the broken collection and is amazed at how many figures there are. "And this kid must have a compete set. She's earned my respect."
"Would you stay focused!" Says the girl in red, still running from the monster of a pony.
"Fear me!" The stallion yells once again.
When flames from off the stallion begin to fall on the bed of the little girl, the girl in red manifests a magical shield to protect the girl from the flames. As the stallion comes closer and closer to her, an action figure hits him straight in the eye. He turns in the direction of where the flying object came from and sees the blue girl tossing another figure up and down in her left hand before throwing it at him. The stallion whips around and uses his flaming tail to completely melt the toy.he stallion charges at the girl in blue completely enraged. The red girl looks at the girl in bed and is confused as to how the heck she could still be asleep.
"Fear me!" The monster pony says as he continues to charge.
"Yeah, you said that already," the girl in blue says growing tired of hearing the same sentence. Before the monster could make contact, she jumps straight up and out of the way.
Unable to stop, the stallion keeps running until he runs straight into the dresser. Smashing it to pieces and then hitting his head on the forcefield protected wall. While the stallion was still in a daze, The blue girl lands on his back and clenched on to the fur on his back, prompting him to rage and buck as wildly as he could. "Yee-hah! Alright, ride 'em cowgirl! Woo-hoo!" The blue girl exclaims with joy, as she holds on for dear life.
The stallion kept on bucking and bucking until it finally ran out of breath and was just exhausted. The blue girl jumps off the back of the stallion and ran over to her partner. "Okay," she says. "I'd say he's all tuckered out now.'
The girl in red detaches one of the devices on her waist and held it out to the stallion. The device seems to be nearly identical to the one Twighlight Sparkle once wore around her neck when she first came to Canterlot High. She opens up the device and it began to drain all the magic from stallion.
He tries to escape the hold the device has on him, but it was no use. He felt completely drained and starts to shrink back down his normal size. Soon the wisp of Equestrian magic is drained from him and is now trapped within the device in the red girl's hand. The stallion reverts back to its old cuddly plushy self and is completely harmless again.
"We totally rocked that huh," the blue girl says. She placed her elbow on her partner's shoulder only to have it immediately brushed off.
"With all that noise you were making," the red girl says. "It's a miracle the girl didn't wake up." She then closes the device now containing the wisp, and due the slightest sound that came from device as it snapped shut, the little girl's eyes shot open, and she jolted up from her bed.
The little girl slowly turns her head to look all around her room. Between the fire, busted up objects, and the two strange people standing in the middle of the room, she's at a complete loss for words. As was the girl in red, who couldn't believe that after everything that had happened, that woke her up.
"Great, you woke the kid," the blue girl says, teasing her partner.
"Just fix everything!" The red girl snaps at her partner.
The blue girl took a few steps forward and begins to glow in a magical aura. She releases a wave of magical energy that spreads through the entire room. Suddenly, everything began to repair itself. The fires were put out, the dresser was put back together, even the Power Pony action figures were now good as new and put back on the reassembled dresser where they belonged. In a matter of seconds, it was as if nothing had happened.
The red girl picks the pony plushy off the ground and hands it to the little girl, who is still at a loss for words. "I believe this belongs to you," she says. The little girl grabs the plush and just stares at the girl in front of her. "Sorry for bothering you," - The red girl raises her hand and the forcefield aligning the room vanishes - "but were about to head out now."
The two teenage girls walk over to the window they had previously entered through stepped outside. The blue girl sticks her head back inside and looks towards the little girl. "You saw nothing," she says in an attempted ominous voice and quickly exits the room once again. The little girl looks at her plushy and comes to the conclusion that she has to be dreaming and goes back to sleep. Back outside the house, the two teenage girls meet up. "Like I said, we rocked that."
"More importantly -" the red girl says. She grabs the device on the other side of her waist, that seemed to resemble a smartphone of some sort and begins to use it to analyze the wisp she had just captured. "- I think I've finally figured out where all the wisps of magic have been coming from."
"Really!" the blue girl exclaims with excitement. "Where?"
"At a place called" - She pulls up a holographic image of a high school on her phone-like device - "Canterlot High."
"A school?! Aww man"
Standing on the roof of building the girls were just in was hooded man, who was keeping a close eye on the two of them. "Canterlot High huh. Interesting."
"No, no-no-no-no-no, no no no no no!" Twilight yells as she fumbles out of her bed. Twilight had just gotten out of bed and was panicking over how late for school she was going to be. Twilight panics as she runs to her closet and starts throwing clothes from out of it all over her room. "Nonononono! I can't believe I overslept on my first day back to school!"
Her dog Spike begins to stretch in his bed and yawns. "Yeah, between studying up on everything you learned last year, working on your 'secret project', and staying up all night to do so, how could you possibly have slept in." He says sarcastically.
In an effort to make it in time for the bus, Twilight just throws on the closest set of clothing she could find and doesn't even bother to fix up her hair. "I'll see you later Spike," she says as she runs out the door.
Spike yawns and then turns over on his back. "See ya later Twilight," he says before immediately falling back asleep.
Twilight runs out of the house and makes a dash for CHS. She looks at her phone to see what time it was in order to see if she could still make it to school on time. "Okay Twilight, maybe you can still make it as long as you -" She look up from her phone and sees a teenage boy walking in front of her. "Wah! Look out!" She tried to stop herself, but in doing so, she tripped and started stumbling forward. The boy turns around and notices Twilight heading straight for him. Just before the two collided, the boy takes a few steps back leaving Twilight to completely fall over right in front of him. Her papers went flying all over and to make matters worse, she had also lost her glasses. She began to feel around for them but to no avail.
"You're kinda clumsy, aren't you?" The boy asks as he picks up Twilight's glasses. "Here you go."
The boy puts Twilight's puts her glasses back on her face and she is able to clearly see the boy in front of her. He was a boy she had never seen before. His skin was a light silverish color, and he had short, straight black hair with bangs that dip between his eyes. The most notable piece of clothing he was wearing was his black jacket with blue accents that he left unzipped. The jacket was clearly too big for him. The bottom of the jacket came down to his knees and he had the sleeves rolled up, so they didn't go past his wrists.
He reached his hand out to Twilight, offering to help her up. She takes his hand, and the boy pulls her up and back on her feet.
"My name's Rain," the boys says. He then stares intensely at Twilight's face and then looks up and down the rest of her, less than stunning, appearance. "Interesting," he says as he pulls out a notepad and pen. He begins to rapidly write down in the notepad before looking back up and noticing a very confused look on Twilight's face. He intrigued looked and then goes back to writing.
"Uh, what are you doing," Twilight asks.
"Writing down this moment," Rain answers nonchalantly.
"O-Okay, but why?"
"So I never forget," he answers looking back up at her and directly into her eyes. "Would you say the color of your eyes are purple, or more of an indigo?"
Twilight adjusts her glasses and says, "Well I always saw them as more of a violet than..." Realizes that she's wasting time, she shakes her head and gets her priorities straight. "Look as much as I would love to stay here and talk about... Uh me, I'm in a hurry to get to the bus stop."
"Yeah, Uh-huh." Rain says not paying attention.
"Well, then see you around, I guess."
Rain continues to write, not even noticing Twilight leaving and getting on the bus. "Twilight Sparkle," he mumbles. He looks up and notices that Twilight is gone, but that the bus has already driven off. "Ahhh wait, I was supposed to be on that bus!" He tried his best to catch up with the bus, but just couldn't keep up. "Aww man."
On the bus, Twilight saw that it was full of student, old and new. It was tough even finding a seat that she could sit down on.
She walks further down to the end of the bus and finally sees a seat with only one student sitting in it. She was a very attractive with long grayish crimson hair that fades into a light magentaish gray color with light gray streaks. Her eyes are an emerald green and she has very light-yellow skin. She was scrolling on her phone and had a very upset expression on her face.
"Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?" Twilight asks.
"Pfft, no, no one is sitting here," the girl says with a hint of anger. As Twilight tries to sit next to her, she snaps her fingers and one of the girls sitting behind her quickly stands up and stands in front of Twilight with her arms spread out.
"Uh what are you..." Twilight starts.
"Didn't you hear me?" The pink haired girl asks. "I said no one is sitting here and that includes you." She snaps her fingers again and the girl standing in Twilight's way retakes her seat. "Only people I find worthy is allowed to sit next to me. And judging by the way you dress -" She looks up and down Twilight and was disgusted at her current appearance. "- you are definitely not. And if you ever even think about addressing me again, I can ruin your life with one tap on my phone." Twilight just stood there feeling a mixture of depression and anger. "Why are you still standing there, get lost!"
As Twilight turns and starts to walk away, the mean girl snaps her fingers again, and the girl sitting behind her extends her leg out in front of Twilight causing her to trip and fall. On top of losing her glasses yet again, she finds her forehead stuck to a wad of chewed up gum left on the floor of the bus. She lifts her head off the floor and the piece of gum remained stuck to her face. She tries to pull the gum off, but it only stretches as she pulls on it. "Eww," she exclaims in disgust.
"Your mistake was talking to Valeicia." Twilight looks up to her left and sees a girl lying down on her bus seat. She has pale red skin and pink eyes. Her hair is crimson red hair with maroon highlights, and she has a bang covering the right half of her face. Her hair is also so long, if she stood up it would almost reach the floor.
"Valeicia?" Twilight says and continues to pull the gum off her face eventually pulling it completely off.
"If you're looking for the most clicheic spoiled brat rich girl there ever was, well that's her in a nutshell," The red-haired girl said. "I've heard that she never stays in a school for longer than one year because her fellow students are always, and I quote -" She clears her throat. "- Unworthy to be in the same classroom as me," she says in a voice completely identical to Valeicia's. "Her personal servant behind her is Willow Wisp. She basically goes wherever Valeicia goes and does whatever Valeicia says. By the way, there's another piece of gum in your ponytail."
"What!" She looks at the end of her ponytail and there was indeed another piece of chewed up gum.
"I'm pretty sure Valeicia doesn't even know her name. She just likes using her fans to her advantage."
Twilight turns to look at Willow attempting to sit next to Valeicia, only to be met with her face of disapproval and sadly returns to her own seat.
"For some reason people seem to love her despite how mean she is. I'd like to show her who's really in charge." Her face begins to look devious, but it quickly turns into a warm welcoming smile as she extends her hand out Twilight while still lying down. "I'm Soprano by the way. Soprano Flare. It's nice to meet ya."
Twilight, feeling all kinds of confused, accepts her upside-down handshake. "Uh hi. I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight begins to hear a faint sound of someone snoring and then realizes that it was coming from the girl she was currently shaking hands with. She stands up and looks down at Soprano's face to see that she had suddenly fallen asleep. Deciding it would be best to just leave, she walks off and continues to search for an empty seat.
The walks all the way to the very back of the bus and finds a seat with just one student in it. A girl with light pink skin and her hair is a mixture of hot pink, orange, and yellow. Except for her ponytail which was both sky blue and purple. The girl was writing down in a notebook with a huge smile on her face and didn't seem to care about anything around her.
"I hope it's okay if I sit here," Twilight says. "This is kinda the only seat left." She looks to the girl in the seat, and she wasn't paying any attention to her at all. Twilight eventually gets tired of waiting for the writing girl to say anything and decides to just sit down next to her. "Ugh, this is gonna be a long bus ride."
At Canterlot High, one by one the buses came in to drop of It was the beginning of a new school year and students are walking all over the schoolgrounds. Some are glad to be back at school, others were disappointed that summer vacation had ended. But one student in particular had made her way to the school. It was none other than Sunset Shimmer. Sunset was glad to return to CHS. This was a special place for her. Not only it was the first place she had ever been when she first left Equestria, but this was where she turned her life around for the better. And where she made her friendships with the best friends she could have ever asked for.
Sunset stares at the school for just a few more seconds and lets out a sigh as she prepares herself for the new school year. "Well, CHS old girl," she says. "A new year, a new beginning."
Before she officially took a step on campus, she looks to her left and sees Fluttershy walking her way. "Fluttershy!" She exclaimed to get Fluttershy's attention.
"Good morning Sunset," Fluttershy says.
"How've things been. I barely got to see you the past few days."
"I've been extra busy at the animal shelter lately," Fluttershy says. "There just haven't been a lot of adoptions lately."
"Oh, well if there's anything I can do to help..."
They suddenly hear a voice to their right. It was Rarity walking in their direction. "Sunset, Fluttershy!" She says.
"Rarity," Sunset says back to her friend. She and Fluttershy run up to Rarity and greet her with a friendly hug Before observing the fashionista's attire. They can't help but notice the brand new and fabulous clothes she was wearing. A light blue knee dress with diamond pattern on it and a belt, black tights, white heeled boots, and a white jacket with fur on the collar. "Dang Rare, you really brought your A game with this whole back to school look."
"Well, there are never any occasions where you shouldn't look your best Sunset. Only occasions where you should look better than your best," Rarity says as she slowly twirls around so Sunset could see every side of her new look. "I made it myself. Isn't it just wonderful?"
"Wow, I didn't realize you cared so much about going back to school.
Rarity wasn't paying full attention as she was too busy admiring her outfit. Once she realizes Sunset was speaking to her, she says, "Hmm, oh yes that's great and all darling. But word on the street is that Venishia Venus had just moved to Canterlot."
"Venishia who?" Fluttershy asks.
"Why she is only one of, if not the most wonderous fashion designer there ever was!" Rarity says, seemingly shocked that Sunset didn't know who she was talking about. "If I can get my designs noticed by her, it would do wonders for career in fashion. By first showing off this new line I'm working on. Fabulous Fall Fashion."
"That's great, and if there's anything I can do to help..." Sunset starts to say.
"As a matter of fact darling," Rarity says, cutting Sunset off. "I actually came up with a few more outfits that I thought you and the others could..." Rarity stops talking as she hears from behind her, two pairs of footsteps could be heard rushing straight for her. Or for the school to be precise.
She turns around a sees Rainbow Dash and Applejack running as fast as they could. They run straight pass Rarity and finally come to a stop. The two girls are utterly exhausted and desperately need to catch their breath.
After a few seconds of heavy breathing Rainbow Dash finally speaks. "I -" She takes another second to catch her breath. "I told you I could beat you here even without my geode."
Applejack finally finishes catching her breath and begins to speak. "What in tarnation are you talking about," she says. "I won that there race by a mile."
"No way," Rainbow Dash disagrees. "I totally got here first."
"Ya did not."
"Did to."
"Did not!"
"Did to!"
As the two girls continue to argue a small red bird flies in between them and lands on Fluttershy's index finger. The bird begins to chirp in her. "Mm-hmm, uh-huh, oh okay," she says as she listens to the birds chirping. "Ricardo says that you both got here at the exact same time so you two tied." The bird chirps in Fluttershy's ear once more. "Again," Fluttershy says repeating what the bird had said to her. "He had a... bird's eye view," she says giggling at her little animal joke.
"Aww come on!" Rainbow Dash exclaims while kicking a nearby rock. "A tie, again."
"Well, so much for breaking our streak of ties before starting the new school year," Applejack says.
"Yeah, pretty sure that streak is never gonna get broken," Rarity whisper to Fluttershy.
The final bus came drives up to and the students began to get off. The first one off is Valeicia who immediately snaps her fingers. After her is Willow who comes out carrying not just hers but Valeicia's backpack as well. She walks by Sunset and her friend and directs her attention to Rarity. More specifically, her outfit. She furrows her eyebrows and takes a picture of Rarity with her phone.
The girls are very confused as they watch Valeicia walk off.
"What was that about?" Rainbow Dash asks.
The remaining students leave the bus with Twilight being the last one off. She walks up to her friends and greets them with a depressed tone. "Uh, hey girls."
Her friends look in Twilight's direction and can't help but gasped at how she currently looked. And not in a good way. Her hair is a mess, the piece of gum was still in her ponytail, her clothes are filthy from both of her resent falls, heck her shoes didn't even match.
"Uh, Twilight," Sunset nervously says. "You look, uhm well..."
"You look absolutely miserable darling," Rarity says ripping of the proverbial bandage.
"Yeah, I had a bit of a morning," Twilight says.
"Well even this is nothing a little glamour can't fix," Rarity says as she grabs Twilight by her wrist and leads her into the school. The rest of the girls then followed.
As the six girls make their way to the school entrance the boy Twilight met this morning was running up to CHS felling rather exhausted. Once Rain made it on to the courtyard, he collapses on his hands and knees and desperately tries to catch his breath. "Running... long distances... my greatest weakness," he says between breaths. He looks up and sees Twilight and her friends walk the school doors. "Twi... light... wait I need to... need to... Ah forget it!" Rain lies face-down on the soft grass of the courtyard and decides that he'll just meet up with Twilight later.
The girls walk into CHS and Rarity says, "Fear not darling I have just the thing for..." Rarity is cut off as they are immediately met with a surprise as blast of confetti went off and covered them from head to toe. A banner is also displayed on the ceiling of the school saying Happy Back to School Day!
From out of seemingly nowhere, Pinkie Pie pops up from behind the other five girls. "Happy Back to School Day Girls!" She yells with plenty of spirit. The girls were startled at first, but then came to grips with what was happening.
"Happy Back to School Day?" Fluttershy says confused.
"Did you do this for all the returning students Pinkie Pie?" Applejack asks while trying to brush all the confetti off of her.
"Of course, silly willy," Pinkie says. "But just between us, I used extra confetti for you girls."
"Ah yes, well thank you so much for that," Rarity says a little aggravated as she brushes the confetti out of her hair.
"Isn't this a bit much," Twilight asks.
"Pinkie once threw me a party just to celebrate the day I lost my last baby tooth," Rainbow Dash says.
"Speaking of parties," Pinkie says before passing a greeting card to Rarity.
"Finally," Rarity says as she brushes the last of the confetti off of her. She looks ahead and notices the card Pinkie was handing her. "Oh, what's this Darling." She opens the greeting card and more confetti blasts from out of it, leaving her face covered once again.
Applejack looks over Rarity's shoulder to see what the card said inside. "You are here by invited to Pinkie Pie's super-duper fun after school back to school party," she says reading the card. "An after school back to school party?"
"Mm-hmm," Pinkie nodded. "A super-duper fun one too. Because this is a super-duper special Back to School Day." She passes the remaining invitations to the rest of her friends.
"Why is that?" Fluttershy asks.
"Because today is the last Back to School Day the seven of us will ever have," Pinkie Pie says while rapping her arm around Fluttershy's shoulders. Sunset's eyes widened as a nervous expression began to form on her face.
"Oh yeah," Rainbow Dash says. "This is our last year at CHS."
"Golly, it sure is," Applejack says.
"Just one more year and will officially become high school graduates," Rarity says with much excitement.
"Wow, it feels like just yesterday I enrolled in this school," Twilight says. Twilight looks to Sunset and a sees her staring at her invite with a hint of sadness. "Hey Sunset, is everything okay?"
"Hmm, oh yeah," Sunset says, coming back to her senses. "Don't worry about it. Come on let's go find our first period before we're late."
Jumping atop the rooves of Canterlot city the red and blue mysterious girls are making their way to Canterlot High.
"Come on sis," the girl in blue whines. "Can't we call someone else to handle this."
"No we can't call someone else to handle this," the red one says.
"But high school was the worst four years of my life."
The two girls stop on the roof of the street corner diner, Sweet Shoppe. "It's our job to monitor Equestrian magic You knew what you signed up for."
"I signed up for fighting monsters and evil wizards. High school is way worse."
"You're acting as if we're going to be attending this school."
" Just being near one brings back bad memories. Can't we go for ice-cream instead?"
"That wisp's magic signature says its place of origin is somewhere here a Canterlot High School. Which means we'll either find the magic leak, or him. If we're lucky we'll find both. So bad memories are a small price to pay for saving Equestria."
"But Su..."
"And another thing, while we're here, we can't be referred to by our real names," the red girl says cutting off her partner.
"What, why?"
"You know exactly why."
"Alright then who are we?"
"Well, I'm glad you asked. While we are here, we shall be known as... The Equestria Girls!" The red girl exclaims feeling rather good about herself.
"What?" The girl in blue asks with a puzzled expression.
"We monitor Equestrian magic. It's the perfect name."
"Yeah sure, but what do we call each other individually?"
"What, uh I don't know. Uh I'll be E1, and you'll be E2."
"Our codenames stink."
"It doesn't matter if they sound cool or not! Just as long as they're not our real names!" E1 says growing more aggravated.
"Fine, but can we at least take off these stupid outfits. They're so tight and I'm really starting to itch under this mask." E2 says as she began to scratch her face.
"No. We need to be ready in case of a magic emergency. As soon as finish up here, we can go home, change into something more comfortable, and relax."
"And get ice-cream?" E2 asks basically begging E1 to say yes.
E1 "And get ice-cream."
"Promise?"
"Promise." As E1 is about to jump off the roof and on to the next one, she turns around and sees E2 refusing to move. "Now what?"
"I need to know you mean it," E2 says.
E1sighs, takes both of her hands, and grabs E2's, holding them up between them at chest level. "Cross my heart, hope to shine, stick a feather in my eye."
"All right, let's get this over with then," E2 says pulling away from E1's grip and jumping ahead.
"Hopefully we'll be over with this," E1 says before following her partner.
Some time has passed in the school day and Rainbow Dash, Pinkie, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Sunset were all taking a free period in the school band room to relax for a little while. Rainbow Dash and Applejack are tuning up their instruments, Fluttershy is brushing Angel's fur, Pinkie is enjoying a plate of cupcakes, and Sunset is simply staring out the window deep in thought.
The doors fly open and Rarity walks in ready to make an announcement. "Attention ladies." All the other girls, except for Sunset, Direct their attention to Rarity. I hereby present, the new Fall Fashion Twilight Sparkle!" Twilight walks in wearing a turtleneck shirt that is purple on the top and phases into black on the bottom with pink stars making it look like space. She is also wearing new black pants, and low-heeled dress shoes. Her hair was now well brushed, and her ponytail was notably a little shorter. The other girls are amazed at how great Twilight looks considering how she looked this morning.
"Wow Twilight," Fluttershy says. "You look great."
"Thanks Fluttershy," Twilight says. "And thank you Rarity. You even took care that gum in my hair."
"Don't mention it darling," Rarity says. "After all there's simply nothing worse than food in one's hair."
"I know right," Pinkie says while pulling another cupcake of her hair before immediately eating it.
Twilight notices that Sunset is still staring out the window and walks over to see if she's doing alright.
Sunset feels a slight tap on her shoulder, slightly startling her, and turns around to see Twilight trying to get her attention. "Oh, Twilight it's you," she says. Sunset looks up and down at Twilight's appearance. "Dang Twi, you clean up nice."
"Well, it's mostly thanks to Rarity. And by mostly, I mean completely. The two share a small laugh and Twilight begins to look out the window Sunset was. "So, what's out there that's got you so distracted?"
"Nothing really. I was just thinking."
"About what?"
"Well, Pinkie's party got me thinking. Ever since I first came here from Equestria coming to this school was all I knew. I actually haven't really even thought about what I'm going to do here after we graduate. In Equestria my whole plan was learn magic and become a princess. And we all know how well that went. But at least back in Equestria I had some form of plan" Sunset looks Twilight's face and notices a hint of sadness in her face. "Twilight?"
Twilight is caught a little off guard when she hears her name, but then manages to ask, "Do you ever think about going back, to Equestria I mean?"
Sunset playfully punches Twilight in the arm and flashes her a smile. "Hey, don't worry about that. Equestria's great, but this is my home now. Sure, it's no big fancy castle, but I've been here so long it's hard to even imagine living anywhere else. That said, it's also hard to imagine not waking up in the morning and rushing to get to school on time."
Twilight this time punches Sunset in the arm and flashes her a smile identical to the one Sunset gave her. "You know Sunset, you may not be a princess in a magical pony world, but for as long as I've known you, you've always done the right thing." Sunset couldn't help but smile after hearing what Twilight said. "You helped show me that, things are always easier with friends. So, why are you so worried?"
Sunset thinks about the words Twilight had told her and then realized that she was right. Whatever the future holds for her, she could be confident that her friends will be there for her every step of the way. "You know what, you're right. As long as I've got friends like you, I've really got nothing to worry about."
Sunset and Twilight then embrace each other in a hug and suddenly feel a third set of arms wrap around them. They look to their side and see Pinkie Pie joining them in the hug. Sunset then looks to the rest of her friends. All of them had a reassuring smile letting her know not to worry. "Well, what are you girls just standing there for? Get in here."
In a flash, Rainbow Dash rushes in and joins in the group hug. Followed by Applejack, and then Rarity. Before Fluttershy could also join in, a knock on the door is heard and she decides to see who it was. She opens the door and finds Rain waiting on the other side pulling out his pen and notepad. "Uhm, can I help you?" Fluttershy asks.
Rain was flipping through his notepad, trying to find a blank page, and says "Yeah I'd like to speak to..." He looks up to the face that was greeting him and felt as if his heart skipped a beat. His eyes went as wide as they possibly could, and he was completely speechless.
Fluttershy finds his current behavior strange and begins to wonder if he was okay. "Is everything alright?" She asks. Rain takes a couple steps back and averts his eyes away from her, before running off completely. Between whom the boy was and why he suddenly ran off like he did, this was one of the most confusing moments in Fluttershy's life.
"Hey Fluttershy, who was at the door?" Rainbow Dash asks.
"Uh, I'm not entirely sure?" Fluttershy answers as she slowly closes the door.
Rain continues to run for a bit before deciding that he put enough distance between him and the girl he saw at the door. He leans back against a nearby wall and tries to get his thoughts straight. "You have got to be kidding me," he whispers to himself. He hears the sound of his phone ring and subsequently answers it. "Hello... Yeah... Okay don't worry about it... See you then." He hangs up, shakes his head to get his mind clear of what he just went through and begins walk down the hallway.
Out in the courtyard, the mysterious man in the black coat arrives at the location of the portal to Equestria. "So, this is where the portal to the oh so famous Equestria lies," he says. "Funny, I thought it'd be bigger." He snaps his fingers and a spear of some sort, that had a certain kind of crystal for the tip, magically appears in his hands. He jumps on top of the stone block and finds the crack on the top of it. He raises one of his arms and from out of his oversized sleeve, seven wisps of magic appear. The wisp then flies into the tip of his spear, infusing it with plenty of magic.
"Thank you, my beautiful wisps," he says. "Now, it's time to bring over the rest of your family." As fast and as hard as he possibly could, he brings down his spear and jams it into the crack. "Knock, knock, Equestria!" He raises the spear out of the crack and strikes down at it again. As he strikes the stone over and over with the spear, the crack begins to get bigger and wisp after wisp begin to seep through. "Just one, more, push!" Just as he is about to strike the stone block one final time, his spear is instead met with a barrier protecting the crack. "What's this?" He looks down at the energy field blocking his spear and groans, for he knows exactly what this meant. He slowly turns his head and sees E1 and E2, with E1 holding out her hand in order to create the barrier in his way.
"That's enough you," E1 says. "I think you've caused enough problems for one lifetime."
"Ugh, well if it isn't the Equestria Girls," the mysterious man says.
E1 nudges E2 arm with her elbow to point out the fact that he called them by the name she picked for them.
"It's still a weird name," E2 says.
"I'll admit," the mysterious man says. "For once I'm actually glad to see you two. Because now you'll get front row seats to my..."
As the men continued to talk, E1 arranged her forcefield to form a cube around him. Since the forcefield was soundproof they could no longer hear what he was saying.
"Ooh, you cut him off in the middle of his evil monologue," E2 says.
"Those things take forever," her partner says. They look back up at the cube and are shocked to see the man no longer in it. "Wait, where did he go?"
The man sneaks up behind the two girls and delicately whisper into their ears, "Look out, he's right behind you." The girls quickly turn around and see the man behind them. Before they have any time to react, he uses his spear and blast them both with a blast of magic.
As the fight continues outside, a large explosion is heard by the entire school. Many people are curious as to what the cause was and begin looking out the nearest window to see if they could see it.
'What was that?" Applejack asks.
"Uh big explosion duh," Rainbow Dash says mush to Applejack's annoyance.
"Whatever it was, we better check it out," Sunset says.
The girls rush outside and are at a loss for words. Magic is seeping out of the stone block, the courtyard is covered in scorch marks, and the oddly dressed strangers are battling it out. With one strong blast of magic, E1 and E2 are sent flying and crash right into Sunset, sending them and her back inside the school.
"Sunset!" The remaining Rainbooms shout with concern. They turn their attention the man in the black coat, who was back on top of the stone block.
"Now let's try this again." With one final trust, he jams his spear down and the crack gets so big it starts to form down the side of the stone block. "Let's get this party started!" He pulls out the spear and waves of Equestrian magic burst from out of the block. The girls look in horror as more and more magic keeps pouring out. The mysterious man watches in awe before turning to face the girls standing behind him. "Well," he says sinisterly. "It's showtime."
