Chapter XIX


Spitfire


“She’s right there,” Sunset pointed as we approached a track where I could see my counterpart in a blue shirt and shorts with a whistle hanging around her neck.

“Thanks,” I said as I straightened my hat. I had opted to put on my Wonderbolt uniform instead of what Sunset calls street clothes. Might as well use the intimidation factor of it to my benefit. “Hey you!”

My counterpart flinched as the people on the track froze and looked at her as she slowly turned to face me. Her eyes widened as I approached her, taking my sunglasses off and hanging them on my shirt.

“Me?” Spitfire asked and pointed at her self. I idly felt weird talking to myself and hearing her reply. Have I always sounded that way?

“Yes you,” I growled and stood in front of. “Sunset, leave us.”

“Are you sure about that sis?” Sunset asked warily as my counterparts eyes widened further.

“Sis?” Spitfire asked as she gave us confused looks.

“I’m sure,” I said as I ignored the question.

“I’ll be over here but I won’t leave,” Sunset answered as I stifled a groan. She walked over to the bleachers as I examined my counterpart closely.

“You know, my own sister was terrified to see me when she came home,” I sneered as I walked around her slowly in a circle like a shark circling it’s prey. “And when she finally did see me, she was afraid of me. I know you stuffed her into a locker repeatedly after this Fall Formal thing. And don’t even get me started on the anon a miss issue.”

“I-”

I cut my counterpart off as I punched her in the jaw and she slammed into the grass face first. The others gasped and my sister stood up.

“I deserved that,” Spitfire admitted as she sat up and rubbed her chin.

“You’re damn right you did,” I agreed angrily as I pulled her up to her feet. “I’m not used to this body so you should be grateful. If I was in my pegasus body, I’d have broken your jaw with my hoof.”

“For what it’s worth, I’m sorry,” Spitfire sighed as she wiped some blood off her lip. “Sunset has proven to be a way better person than me. Soarin can vouch for that.”

I grabbed her shirt and punched her again as her head whipped to the left and the others gasped again.

“I think she’s had enough,” a girl who sounded like Misty Fly stepped forward.

“Shush Misty,” I snapped as she gawked.

“H-how do you know my name?”

“Call it intuition,” I snapped as I focused on my counterpart. “If I have to talk to you again about this, we are gonna have problems and it’ll end up with you in a full body wing and hoof cast drinking through a straw!”

“I don’t have wings ma’am,” Spitfire said sheepishly as I narrowed my eyes.

“Is that attitude I hear?” I shouted as she shuddered. “La-dee-doodle-dah! Lemme give you a different scenario then! Picture me breaking all your limbs and leaving you in a full body wing and hoof cast!” I didn’t care if she had no wings, it’s about scaring her into compliance.

“I think she gets the poin-” Sunset started as I spun around to face her, realized the entire school was staring in fear.

“I’m not finished!” I shouted as my sister straightened and nodded. I turned around to face well, me. “Listen, I understand where you’re coming from because I’m you in a way. But we never put our fellow ponies in danger, no matter what they’ve done unless all. And you made my sister afraid of me.”

“I under-” Spitfire began.

“You think you all have it made in the shade? Well, you’re be in the shade indeed because you can’t go outside because you’re in a full body wing and hoof cast drinking through a straw!” I screamed and shook her. “Do I make myself clear?”

“U-uh huh,” Spitfire responded shakily.

“Excellent, have a sticker,” I beamed and pulled out a sticker I had found in my pocket. I handed her it as she stared at it in confusion. I stepped a few feet away as the entire school stepped back in fear as one.

“Your sister is terrifying,” I heard Spitfire whisper to Sunset as I hid a smug grin. “Please remind me to never make her angry again. I’m her and I’m not even that scary.”

“You’re scary as hell,” Fleetfoot scoffed. “And well, based on that show, I don’t think the school will ever mess with Sunset ever again.”

“How did you grow up with her?” Spitfire asked as I watched with an eagle eye.

“That was her drill instructor mode,” Sunset answered. “For Wonderbolt camp and training Twilights guard. Trust me, she put the fear of God into me when she trained me. Spitfire is a firm believer of tough love.”

“Clearly,” Spitfire grumbled as she blew her whistle. “Back to practice! I didn’t give you all permission to stop, now did I?”

“Practice for what?” I asked curiously as Sunset finally walked back over.

“Track. She and Rainbow split leader ship responsibilities three ways with her, Rainbow and Indigo Zap,” Sunset explained I followed her to the school doors.

“Indigo goes to school here?”

“Yeah so does Sugarcoat, Sour Sweet, Lemon Zest and Sunny Flare. None of the other Guards counterparts are here. I don’t even think Wallflower, Sunbeam, Glimmer Shine, Berry Blast or Blitz exist over here.”

“Gotcha. Think I scared her?” I smirked as Sunset held the door open for me.

“Spitfire, I think you scared everyone.”

“Then my job is done. Now no one will mess with you.”

“Spitfire, they haven’t messed with me in almost two years. I doubt they would start now. "

“Well, now they have an extra reason not to,” I grinned even wider as Sunset gave a frustrated smile and shook her head.

“Just go get changed. And watch out, Principal Celestia might be talking to you about this if anyone tells.”

I rolled my eyes as I took her bag that she put spare clothes in for me and stood outside the bathroom. I will admit, I was curious to see what her school life was like.

But first, I had to change as she said.
