Wait, What's Equestria? // by Bysen //------------------------------// Dramatic Reading! - Special 'I just got a tooth pulled' Edition. “I can’t believe it…” Sunset said as she left Fluttershy to be alone in the bathroom. Fluttershy was in the stall Twilight had been in. Also crying like Twilight had been. She'd been in the bathroom for a reason and when Twilight had knocked her over, certain things had happened. Certain wet humiliating things. “She thinks we were trying to rape her?” it was hard to believe but Sunset supposed she could see it. This wasn’t the Twilight they’d known. That much was obvious. And if she thought that they'd attacked her Sunset could only imagine the damage they’d done to this poor girl. Should she tell the others? Should she find this new Twilight and try to explain, or should she tell Flash what had happened and why? She pulled out of the hallway and into an empty classroom. Sunset lifted her left hand, she’d grown her nails quite long, and scratched her forehead. She scrunched her eyes closed as she concentrated and thought about what she had to do. “Calm down…” ~ ~ Twilight had kept with her plan to stay hidden until the end of the day for the first hour. At that point she’d calmed dramatically but still intended to leave this place forever. Eventually she grabbed one of the books and began to read. She didn’t get very far into it though as she couldn’t read and keep a lookout at the time. About another hour passed before she became immersed in the book and only peered away from it every five minutes or so instead of every five seconds. It was some angsty teen romance novel about sparkling vampires… she loved it! Soon enough she hadn't looked away from the pages in a good… however long it took her to read two hundred pages. Tearing her eyes away from the book, they hurt a little for a moment as they refocused on anything not inches away from her face. Panic briefly set in but it passed once she realised she hadn’t been found. Standing up from the ground, her back cracked several times. She had the urge to stretch her arms up and all though it felt good to do so, she knew from experience that would cause a slight blood rush after sitting for so long and as good as those felt too, they occasionally made her pass out. Only ever happened once but she couldn't risk it right now. Book still in hand, it had made a good weapon last time, she walk out of the isle she’d been sitting in and scanned around the library. Either of the people who had been here before weren't here anymore. There was one person but she was a younger girl and though she didn’t like to think like this, the thoughts had been forced onto Twilight's mind due to recent events, she could easily overpower this kid, if she had to. Twilight looked around the room and quickly found a clock. It was already 1 and if she remembered right that was the start of lunch time for this school, not that that actually mattered today seems there were no classes. It was as good a time as any to get the hell out of here. To the principal's office or just out to a pay phone and call her parents to pick her up. This is EXACTLY why she needed a phone… She casually made her way from the bookshelves, not wanting to run until she had to. “Oh hey Twilight.” she flinched at her name. It was just that younger girl though… she could take her! She gripped the book tightly. “You finished reading that book already? You were only near the start when I saw you before.” the grey girl with blue glasses said, spinning in her seat to rest her chest on the back of it. “Y-you saw me reading?” and panic set back in that she’d been so unaware of what had been happening around her. Twilight had a habit of getting so overly focused on some things that sometimes that happened. But... she was still safe even though this girl had seen her. She must not have been one of the people after her. She also knew her name though. “Yeah. Don’t worry about it. I won’t tell anyone you were reading that book. Let you in a little secret Twilight…” she said, then leant over her chair a bit and whispered “I’m totally on Team Edward!” Twilight was confused for a moment… she then read the title of the book she’d been reading. “Oh how… that’s what I was reading?” she paused, flipped through a few pages before adding “You know it’s actually not that bad. I think I actually liked it more than I would’ve if I knew what it was.” she then paused and looked up at this girl in front of her once more, a little embarrassed for liking this book “Um… can I ask you a question?” “No. The second book isn’t as good. And the third was just horrible. It doesn’t start bad but it REALLY earned that reputation by the end.” the girl said with a slight laugh. She never thought she’d be speaking with someone as renowned around the school about a book. Especially after she’d just disappeared like that a few months ago. “It’s not that, it’s… how do you, how does EVERYONE know who I am?” Twilight asked. “Why wouldn’t they?” she simply replied. “I don’t even… why WOULD YOU!?” Twilight yelled back. This was just too serious. ‘Kick her! Kick her in the head!’ she thought to herself. Not a bad idea… except for it was a horrible idea. “L-look, I don’t know what everyone else seem to know. Just telling me you know doesn’t let me know… you know?” “No?...” she replied, not exactly followed all those double negatives. “You don’t remember what happened at the Fall Formal last year? You are Twilight Sparkle right?” “Yeah, but I’ve never been here before. I can’t remember if I wasn’t here… what happened and why does everyone…? I just wanna be a nobody like before again. I don’t want everyone staring at me. And…” she trailed off as the girl stood up. She gripped the book tightly again, that plan was looking better than it did before. The girl went over to a waist high shelf and pulled out one of the books from the lower section. she brought it back and placed it on the desk she’d been sitting at. “Come have a look at this.” she said pulling out a seat next to her. “Oh, and my name’s Silverspoon. Guess you wouldn't know if you’re not the same Twilight. Actually we didn’t… I mean I didn’t really meet her either.” she said with a bit of a laugh. “You can call me ‘Sil’ if you want.” Twilight took a few hesitant steps towards Silverspoon until she saw it. That was a picture of her… dancing with the guy who’d kissed her. From there she quickly sat down beside Sil and slid the year book fully in front of her. Finding the pages that had a mug shot of all the student with their names above the pics, she eventually found “So his name’s Brad…” “Um… I think you mean Flash Sentry, Brad’s the picture above that.” Sil said as she pointed to the name below the picture, not above… seems legit. “You two were… I mean… Twilight and him were pretty close. Did you meet him?” “Yeah... I ran into him. And some girl named ‘Sunset’ I think.” Twilight said before Silverspoon pulled the book back over to her, flipped a few pages and slid it back. She took a look at the new page and instantly recognised the girl in the photo.“Yeah, that’s her. And there was this pink-haired girl. Yellow skin… I think, I didn’t see her but she said she was yellow.” Silverspoon coughed “Racist.” and coughed again. “Hey she said it not me!” Twilight snapped. Sil just laughed though and did the same with the book as before, flipping a few pages and placing it back in front of Twilight. “Fluttershy? She looks… familiar?” it was more than just familiar to having briefly seen her back in the bathroom. Wait… she flicked back to the picture of Sunset and then pulled her locker key out of her pocket. “Oh god! Who is this girl?” The mark on her skirt and the hilt of the key where identical. Twilight had not only gotten her locker but Fluttershy had been one of the pictures on the locker door. “Well… she’s a demon.” “This isn’t funny! I’m scared enough as it is! I got her old locker, I was ambushed by one of the five girls there were creepy pictures of in her locker, and apparently I have a doppelganger and I bet you don’t even believe I’m not this other girl!” “Sure I do… I mean, it’s not the craziest thing I’ve seen.” “Well what is then?!” “Well… I wasn’t exactly joking when I said Sunset was a demon.” Twilight’s eye twitched. “Long story short, other-Twilight shows up three days before the formal, gets the whole school to vote for her for princess of the formal, wins, something happened, I’m not sure what, Sunset turns into a demon, blows up the front of the school, mind controls everyone, tries to kill other Twilight with some sorta Spirit-Bomb, Twilight and…” Sil flicks a page in a book “These five turn into angels and exorcise the demon from her, Twilight and Flash dance, then she returns to her planet through the big statue in the front of the school. And you know what the weirdest part was? There was a talking dog: freaky!” “I uh… what?” “So yeah, you having someone who looks like you and had the same name isn’t exactly too surprising anymore.” “HOW DID THAT NOT BE ON EVERY NEWS STATION IN THE COUNTRY!?!?!?” “Well officially, one of the students spiked the punch with an incredibly powerful hallucinogen. But unofficially, we go to the coolest school ever!
