//------------------------------// // A Surprise Visitor // Story: The Return of Twilight Sparkle // by Cameron Nightshade //------------------------------// Twilight had taken a walk around the town, carrying Sunset Shimmer's phone so she could call the house phone if she happened to get lost. Twilight wanted to go back to the cafe and get a drink. “Twilight?” a familiar voice called out from behind Twilight. Twilight turned around. “Flash!” she said. She rushed over to give him a hug. “I missed you so much. I try to talk to your doppelganger on my side, but he is always working. Also my friends teased me when I bumped into him when I got back.” Twilight laughed. They talked for about an hour until Sunset called Twilight. She needed her back home, but she wouldn’t say why. “I’m sorry, I have to go. Sunset needs me. I’ll talk to you tomorrow!” Twilight called as she ran off to the house. Twilight stepped in the door of the two-story house. “Princess Celestia?” Twilight was shocked to see her mentor on the couch of Sunset’s house. She figured principals didn’t make house calls, so she figured it must have been the Princess. “Twilight Sparkle! You left your home. You must come back. This instant,” there was a harsh sound to her voice, threatening even. “No! I must help Sunset Shimmer. She needs my help!” Twilight retorted. “I have a duty to fulfill and I won’t leave until I have completed it!” Twilight yelled. “Fine, have it your way. Have fun opening the portal. I will close it after I return to Equestria. I will be glad to get on four hooves once more.” Princess Celestia wobbled out of the house. When Celestia returned to Equestria, she had a look of defeat on her white face. She didn’t have the strength to close the portal on her student. She hoped that Twilight would be alright. Celestia didn’t want to go back into that world more than she needed. As she walked back to her room, tears streamed down her face. Twilight sat down. She knew her mentor wouldn’t close the portal on her. What if she did though? While Sunset Shimmer was in the bathroom, Twilight ran to the portal. If it was closed, then she would have to learn how to get her magic. She couldn’t just leave Equestria without the most important Element of them all! Twilight reached out her hand. Luckily it went through the seemingly hard barrier. A sigh of relief escaped the young princess. She walked back to Sunset Shimmer’s house, thoughts racing through her mind. Fluttershy was at her house, about a mile away from Sunset Shimmers'. Fluttershy was orphan, so she didn’t have to hide her newly gained wings from her parents. Or her weird magic ponytail. Fluttershy was never a big fan of flying in planes, but she figured she would end up flying during this trip with Twilight. She jumped off the ground, flapping her wings. With thump, she hit her bottom on the carpet. Fluttershy picked up her cellphone from the coffee table next to her. “Hello, Rainbow? Yeah, I was wondering, could you come over to my house and teach me how to fly? Thanks!” Fluttershy hung up the phone. A half an hour later, Rainbow Dash appeared at her house, looking as excited as ever. “This is totally awesome!” Rainbow Dash shrieked. 2 hours later of practicing how to fly, Fluttershy had finally been able to fly for more than 10 minutes.
