The Canterlot four and the Friendship Games

Chapter 4: Don't fall off the ledge! (Moondancer's POV)

The sun ascends from its slumber with its golden shine which would gleam over the city of Canterlot sending a message to the population that it's the beginning of another day. The sunshine sneaks into my bedroom where my body lied under the Purple and Red blanket that matched my hair as well as the dye would allow. There were books that were lying on my desk that remained from Last Night's studying. Speaking of books, there were a superb selection of them that were available in my personal inventory. The majority of the bundles of paper that were printed at a publisher, were books that are related to my Education, mostly for study or general research. The others were either humor, drama, adventure or just plain random. There was just one book that was unusual in a 17 year old girl's bedroom. It was called "Carpentry for Beginners", my father gave it to me for my 13th Birthday even though I was never interested in Carpentry or never studied it at school.

As the warm shine of the sun reached my face, my eyelids would slide open and then my dark purple eyes would be exposed. I would then rise from the bed that I spent 8 hours in, ready to start the day. I began by changing from my Pyjamas with a Purple moon and three 4-pointed stars to my purple Crystal Prep uniform, complete with the tartan skirt and black leather shoes with a little diamond on it. I would then pack my schoolbag for the day's lessons. After making and eating my tasty breakfast which was a couple of apples from the Apple Family. I rushed out the door running towards the bus stop where I met my friends.

I announced "Girls, there is only just one day left before the tryouts and there is one more area that we have to focus on. You know there is that gorge that seperates the city in two that is like a short walk away from Canterlot High? How about for balance we try to walk along a narrow edge."

Minuette replied "Oh Moondancer, I know that you are smarter than that. But seriously the gorge that seperates the city?"

Lemon Hearts moaned "Here comes that story again."

Minuette explains "Back in 1987, there was a man who was like the most popular daredevil in all of the country. He climbed the tallest structures in the city and drove a lot of cars to reach very high speeds and even once jumped his car off a building onto other buildings. But that faithful year, he was determined to balance the narrow edge. He did it on October the 21st, but on the way back he tripped and plummeted down the gorge all the way to his death. His body was washed up onto the Canterlot beach two days later. I could describe the pain and cuts he have gotten. But right now I have to keep this quick as our bus is almost here."

I gasped at Minuette's explaination. Was it really dangerous? Was the incident where the Daredevil died real? I have read the entire history of Canterlot City and a whole lot of old newspapers including the ones from the 21st of October 1987 to the 29th of October 1987. I bet that Minuette was telling an urban myth that circulated like coins and banknotes around the city for a really long time. I was feeling that it could be a conspiracy theory made up by crazy people to claim that Jesus is returning or the Illuminati is emerging from the shadows with their New World Order. Yes I have heard of those groups.

After thinking about those crazy thoughts for a while, a screeching sound of tyres was just heard just beside me. It was the bus and it was a giant beast that was covered in a black and white metal that was steel with clear glass windows that you could see the inside of the bus with. Inside the bus was about 100 seats that were covered with red and orange felt, the floor was purple and the roofs were green. There were just a few people on the bus, the majority of them were fellow Crystal Prep students. We would proceed onto our seat which is usually in the middle of the bus. If you wonder that why we sit there, it is because most of the students on the bus and at school would bully us for being a bit too nerdy Because of this the only other friend that we have who goes to our school is Twilight Sparkle.

It took about 20 minutes for the bus to arrive at it's destination which was our school known as Crystal Prep Academy. We would then all seperate into our classes. Some of us would be in the same class a few times of the day, but I am more focused on my schoolwork than anything else in the classroom. That is when the teacher is not explaining the lesson and stuff like that.

6 hours later and me and my friends would gather just outside the glass doors of the school. Usually we would meet in the Library after school, but today was an expection. In fact at the time the Library hasn't been used by us to talk after school since Tuesday. The last time that we could remember being together away from the school library was school camp in Freshman Year and this year is Junior Year.

Minuette announced "Alright Girls. We will be going to the Canterlot Gorge as per Moondancer's request."

Twinkleshine moaned "That's just great. Moondancer always chooses what we do. Why can't we practice our balance at that new Gymnasium that opened near my house? Why Celestia Why?"

Minuette replied "Because that gymnasium is on a steep hill. Besides the gorge has the narrowest ledge in all of Canterlot."

Lemon Hearts replied "But Minuette, didn't you tell us this morning that a daredevil fell off the ledge and plummeted to his death?"

Minuette yelled "What the fuck! Why the fuck would you believe my fucking urban myths. They are false, I was claiming that the incident was true so we can't go to the gorge."

I explained "Girls, this is what we are going to do when we arrive at the gorge. We are to stand at four different points at equal length beginning to end. Then we will tag team each other as we balance along the ledge. I want to see us try to balance the ledge in the quickest time possible."

So then I had a look at the bus schedule, the next bus for the gorge is expected to arrive at about 3:40pm and me and my friends will arrive at the gorge by about 4:20pm. But I was already worried about the ledge thanks to Minuette's urban myth about a daredevil falling off it and dying. My two thin tall legs were already shaking like there is an Earthquake hitting the city. My teeth were also shaking, but at a much rapid pace than the legs. My body has been sweating quite a lot, enough to fill up the pool at Lemon Heart's house. My heart was pounding as fast as a cheetah roaming through the savannah. I was about to run off like a rabbit, but I remembered that I should not worry and I should help my friends work as a team. My friends need me and I need my friends. Together we hold the greatest magic wherever we are here in the human world or Equestria or some mysterious planet that was about 20000 light years away, the magic of friendship.

Suddenly the bus arrives, it was just like the bus from this morning but with Blue felt covering the seats instead of red and orange and the floor was red and roof was a lighter shade of green than the other bus. Unlike the other bus though, it was really crowded and there was not a single other Crystal Prep student on it.

Minuette complained and explained "Girls, that ledge is a too narrow for me, I made up the story so I couldn't go to the gorge with you. Okay! I really wanted to pratice my balance skills all by myself rather than with you."

I replied "But Minuette, you still need your friends."

Minuette replied "Friends? Who needs them when you got tyrant Minuette."

Soon Minuette would turn from her normal self to a fierce and powerful beast. Her eyes turned from its usual Blue to Red, her Crystal Prep uniform was in tatters. She had a blue glow around her and she grew powerful wings. Her skin turned a darker blue and her teeth have grew sharp.

Minuette yelled "How dare thee distrust the Tyrant Minuette. Thy shall trust me or you will be banished for all eternity. You have been warned my former followers/friends."

I suddenly picked up my mobile phone and called the only person I knew of that had Equestrian Magic who was Sunset Shimmer.

"Hello Sunset. I need your help, Minuette has turned into a Giant form of herself and I was wondering, since you hold the spare Elements of Harmony that you get me, you and my friends if you get this world's Twilight to try to get Minuette back to herself."

Sunset replied "Moondancer? You need help for once? And Minuette turned into what? I will be right over and we will help defeat that bad girl. She needs to be reformed urgently or she will destroy the whole city. I wish that the Twilight Sparkle from Equestria could help us but the portal is not due to be opened unless with Twilight's portal opener that she made for another 28 and a half moons."

I replied "Alright Sunset, but you better be quick as Minuette is about to blow a fireball at us."

Using the magic that was used to turn Tyrant. Minuette has created a fireball that is the exact same colour as her hair. The fireball was as big as a car and the temperature of the fireball may be hot enough to melt Copper. With accelerating speed, she would throw the Fireball towards me but I reflected it.

I asked "How did I reflect a fireball that would have killed me if it was to directly hit me?"

Sunset replied "That is because you were originally going to hold the element of magic before you moved here when Celestia was doing the Portal test to see if she could open it just after the Return of Nightmare Moon. The Moondancer of this world now lives in Equestria and she was a bit anti social as she did not learn anything about Friendship. Don't you get it Moondancer? Friendship is Magic and I am on my way now to really unleash this Friendship power and help reform Minuette."

Has this been all true, was I from another world and the Moondancer from the MLP tv show was from this world? Am I really the element of magic instead of Twilight? Am I what stands between the world being destroyed and violence, a 17 year old bookworm who spends her afternoon in a library back at Crystal Prep?

Minuette yelled "Oh you are getting some help from your friends, but what if I tried to make your friends disappear?"

I replied "No, please don't. Your friends are very important to you. They stand between being annihilated and surviving your Tyrant forms. Now I tell you to please stop and think about what have you done to your friends Colgate."

Minuette yelled "Colgate? How dare you call me 'Colgate'. My hair is not toothpaste and I am not a dentist. I am the Tyrant of the city and you shall bow down to me or you will be annihilated permanently! Also I will try to stop that 'Sunset Shimmer' girl and make her bow down to me. Are you really the actual Element of Magic, because you are such a phony with your fanfictions. Now guess what? I shall now teleport the busload of people all the way to the gorge."

Using a spell that she secretly discovered while doing a science experiment back in 8th grade, she transported the whole bus and Sunset Shimmer to the narrow edge of the gorge that the Canterlot Four were going to balance on before Minuette turned tyrant.

Minuette explained "It's your choice Moondancer, you can ever try to worship me or you can be pushed off the ledge, falling to your death. Which one will you choose?"

I yelled "I am the Element of Magic and all that stands in your way is the most important magic of all, friendship. Even though there are four of us standing in your way and there are six elements. So to fill the spaces that were voided, I would like to announce two people who could join us to help. Their names are Twilight Sparkle and Lyra Heartstrings. Together we will stand up to you using Friendship and Rainbow Power. Now let's Pony up!"

We would then pony up into our half pony forms, Lemon Hearts would grow her hair, develop ears and a tail developed with her Cutie Mark on it. Twinkleshine would do the same thing expect that her hair would become Multicoloured. I would have my hair coloured Blue, Yellow, Mint Green, Red and Purple with my Cutie Mark magically appearing on my new dress. Sunset Shimmer would also have her hair grow along with her suit becoming Sparkly. Twilight, since she was an Alicorn would grow wings as well as her hair was growing. Lyra's hair grew as well as her ears and a Minty Green suit grew on her with her Cutie Mark on it.

Minuette yelled "How dare you rip off the movie Equestria Girls!" Her power levels weakened.

Sunset explained "Moondancer, if Minuette is being her normal self then her power levels would lower before she is reformed."

I replied "No Thanks, I prefer to try to reform Minuette this way. That is why we ponied up. Girls, we now shall use our pony forms to defeat Minuette."

An energy beam is released from each of the six girls as the magic of it attacks Tyrant Minuette, the Tyranted Blue person fights back with a powerful Energy Beam of her own. The beams reflect causing the ledge of the gorge to break up from the rest of the surface. The bus was toppling from the gorge and all the men and women on it were screaming and crying for their lives.

Sunset yelled "Moondancer! Since the energy beams were at an equal Power Level, it caused them to reflect onto the gorge. The only way to help reform Minuette is to use the Elements of Harmony. I will possess the Element of Laughter this time even though I was one of the three contenders to hold the Element of Magic."

So Sunset would then pass the rest of the Elements, to the rest of the girls. Lyra possessed Honesty, Twinkleshine possessed Generosity, Twilight possessed Kindness, Lemon Hearts possessed Loyality and I possessed Magic. Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony, a Rainbow harnessing each to the elements of Red, Orange, Pink, Yellow, Purple and Green flashed towards Minuette. She tried to create an Energy Beam, but it was too late. The power of the Elements of Harmony were too powerful for Minuette as she returned to normal after a really high drop from the point where she was attacked onto the ledge of the gorge which was the unbroken part.

Minuette asked "Who, What, Where am I?"

Lemon Hearts replied "Minuette, you're at the Canterlot Gorge. After you argued with us, you turned into an evil Tyrant who wanted to rule over the City."

I continued "Then we found Sunset Shimmer and she helped us reform you using the Elements of Harmony."

Minuette replied "The Elements? Are they really real? Oh My Celestia, the Elements of Harmony are real. They are actually real! I though it was something from the My Little Pony TV Show. In fact it's actually real. Does that include my fanfiction of myself in Equestria?"

Sunset farewelled "It looks like my work here is done. Me, Lyra and Twilight have to go study now. And Moondancer, I hope you get into the Friendship Games. Plus you are always invited to join me anytime you want."

Minuette ordered "Girls, I think it's time to return home as we have a big day Tomorrow. Farewell."

I began walking back to my house where my Purple Diary sat on the wooden desk in my room. I have not packed up the books from last night. So I began writing.
Today was a very eventful day. We were going to pratice for the tryouts by balancing along the ledge of the gorge. But Minuette has turned into her Tyrant form and threatened us with Annihilation. But luckily thanks to my friend Sunset Shimmer, we helped to reform Minuette using the Elements of Harmony. (They are actually real!) We also turned into our half pony forms and I discovered that I could reflect fireballs. I also Discovered that I was from the Pony World and I swapped places with the Moondancer from this world. But anyway the events of today made me realise that the most important magic in the Universe is the Magic of Friendship. Hopefully one day I would travel back home into the pony world where I belong. But the Portal will not open for 28 and a half moons unless Twilight from the pony world opens it. Hopefully Tomorrow's Tryouts will be sucessful to me and my friends. Your faithful Author, Moondancer
