I found her out by the gym and away from the school proper. She was heading along the west side of the building so I ran around it to get ahead of her. Stopping, I took a deep breath.
Okay. I need to do this perfectly or things might get ugly. Damn it, she might be a dangerous unicorn mage in Equestria, but here she look like a teenage girl. I can't fight her!
I glanced down at the parchment patch on my jacket. My special talent was writing stories. Making things up.
Time to make things up and give my best performance since Chrysalis.
“Sunset Shimmer?”
She stopped as I stepped out from around the corner in front of her, my hand in my satchel.
“Who wants to know?”
“My name is Blank Page.” I said, pulling the chakram, holding it carefully around the inner edge while keeping my thumb away from the outer edge, “Warmage, consort and herald of Princess Luna. My orders are to bring you and the Element of Magic back to Equestria.”
Sunsets eyes widened for a second, “Warmage? They are extinct!”
“And still here I am. Where is the element?”
She smirked, “Wouldn't you like to know? What are you going to do, stab me?”
“My orders don't specify in what condition I'm to bring you back in. Whether it's walking or being dragged unconscious and bloodied is up to you.”
“You wouldn't.”
“Try me. My day have been somewhat stressful. I not only found out that my marefriend have been keeping a massive secret from me for years, but then somebody goes and steals the one artifact keeping Discord on his leash and from turning Equestria into popcorn. So please if you would be so kind as to give me a reason to smack a bitch.”
I slowly moved closer and she took a step back,
“I'll scream! They think I'm a normal girl.”
“Think the humans would get here and help fast enough? Go ahead. Trust me, you want to take your chances with Princess Celestia. You can always escape later, right?”
Sunset glanced around and then shot me a death glare before she nodded and ground out a “...I'll go.”
“Good. Now where is the Element of Harmony?”
“Fuck you.”
“Sorry, you are a bit young for that.” I answered with a raised eyebrow. Better not push this any further or she might see through it, “Fine, I'll find the thing myself. Now move.” I ordered, sticking the hand holding my chakram back into the satchel to keep it out of sight.
The way back to the portal was the tensest I had been since... well, since the changeling invasion. Because if we were caught there would be trouble.
I was technically kidnapping somebody. Somehow I don't think the jurisdiction Luna gave me extended to what I think is the United States.
And there was a lot of people around that might notice something was wrong.
Still I kept close to Sunset as we moved back to the portal. Not that I think I would have been able to stab her if she actually caused trouble. She was unarmed and looked like a girl. I just needed her think I would. And if push comes to shove I would still be able to grab her and drag her there. We might look to be similar ages but I was a good deal bigger than she was.
Stopping by the statue she turned towards me to say something. I didn't bother letting her speak and just gave her a hard push.
She disappeared with a yelp of surprise and a couple of ripples.
Letting out a sigh of relief I almost sagged.
Damn it, that could have gone so much worse.
“Page?”
I turned to looked at a worried Twilight, “Was that...?”
“Sunset Shimmer has been sent back to Equestria.” I confirmed with a nod as I let go of the chakram in my bag and rubbed my neck.
Twilight nodded with a small frown, “We still need to get my crown back. I know where it is.”
“Awesome. Where?”
“In Principal Celestias office. They found it and are using it as the price for their Princess of the Fall Formal Dance.”
What? Principal Celestia?
...D'oh. So that's where Sunset Shimmer found the replica. What were the chance they looked the same? Then again, this might be some kind of alternate universe if the Principal was named Celestia.
Sighing, I nodded, “Fine. So there is just one thing to do...”
“Yeah. I need to win that contest.”
I stared at Twilight like she was not making sense , “...No, we need to break in and steal it.”
Did all alicorns use Wisdom as their dump stat or something? Because I'm starting to think that's what's going on in general. Luna should have realized I would have stayed with her even if I knew where the portal went.
“That sounds risky. What if we are caught?”
“Valid point. That's why we wait until tonight. Until then let's find something to eat.”
Twilight hesitated and then nodded, “... I could go for a hayburger right about now.”
I smirked slightly at that, “Sorry Princess, but I have some bad news for you.”
Thank you page for pointing out the way she decided to get the crown was dumb. I like this practical mindset version of Equestria Girls.
Pragmatic Page is introducing you to common sense!
Heh, so much for the moral lesson at the end of the movie, eh?
I guess there won't be a second movie at this rate since Twilight will never meet her EG counterparts, never learn a friendship lesson on how to redeem Sunset Shimmer, and Shimmer herself will spend time in the dungeon assuming Celestia doesn't get all weepy, pardon her, and smother the mare in remorseful cuddles.
Oh, and the siren trio will still be causing mischief, possibly turning into something far more dangerous since there's no one there to stop them now.
Whoopsy! Well, we didn't like that EG world anyway, right?
I'm just going to take a guess that the moment Page finds out about the most dumbest friendship problems that the human Mane Six are having currently, he's gonna stick around for a little bit.
Be polite, be efficient, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
6900562 the sirens won't be able to do much if true magic is never released at CHS though
6900562 The Sirens only made the move when they discovered Equestrian magic. So, no, they won't be doing anything anytime soon.
Hah! Love how he just pushes Sunset through the mirror without any monologue from either side.
welp meats on the menu now
Having wisdom as a dump stat is bad for mages and rulers as general. But having low wisdom stat explains why princesses make stupid mistakes.
ok one problem is sent back now on to the next little problem.
6900562 actually, it's possible the Sirens will be inconsequential since the big fight that brought magic to this other world won't be happening. That being said, we'll likely still see them at a later time, as Page won't be kept away from this little piece of home.
Also, wisdom being alicorn dump stat= true.
Haha! Bluffed his way out of one of the more contrived plots in Equestria Girls, love it.
6900620
I am betting on Meat-fests every 30 Moons. Wait would getting Luna to spin moon around equestria fast skip the wait time?
No. He has the BEST news for her.
6900640 because bacon is only bad news if you're a pig
6900647 I'll just leave this here.
derpicdn.net/img/2013/6/17/350800/full.gif
prize
Also, the could get the replica that was left in Equestria and replace the real thing with it.
6900653
No no make it so they know it was stolen! Crown gone + sunset gone? They will assume she stole it. That would "burn" her in mirror world so that removed one of easy escape avenues,
6900667
But they would blame the mirror world Sunset Shimmer if they ever met her.
6900562
Actually the sirens only cause trouble because Sunset create an explosion in the dance, that they saw and discover 'hey there is more magic there, lets consume it' if Sunset was drag back to the portal before transforming into a she demon, she would had never created that explosion, or rather the elements counterparts would had never created that explosion so the dazzlings would had never see the raw magic and would had never go to Canterlot hight, they don't even know that the portal back home is there, or never figure it out so…yeah Page actually saved the day once more
Page pushing Sunset into the mirror with a kick.
does anyone else picture him as Leonidas and screaming 'sorry Sunset, but THIS IS EQUESTRIA' before pushing her into the mirror?
I love Page's badass speech this chapter!
6900676
And Sci Twi never gets anything to draw her to Canterlot High.
6900697
Truth and unless Page notices that Twilight friends counterparts are actually in disharmony and taking pity try to fix the problem, their conflict will remain the same
Oh! Flash Sentry, Twilight discover she has a crush on him…and developed in 3 days but still…if Twilight see him she will be begging Page to stay a bit longer…I can see Page actually dragging Twilight while she hold his leg yelling 'pleeeeeeease, lets stay at least another day!'
Also Twilight overcome the problem of the wings because she discover how weird things are, and overcome her new body, Page make it so she never have to so…she probably is still insecure of being a princess, now
6900588 Feelins'? Look mate, you know who has a lot of feelings? Blokes that bludgeon their wife to death with a golf trophy. Professionals have standards.
It would be funny to see the other side of the portal when sunset was pushed through, Luna and Skitter would most definitely had been there, any guards they got set up and maybe the other girls and Celestia. Because it had not been an hour more of fifteen minutes perhaps twenty minutes and he got the criminal scum back, now it's a easy matter of recovery of a ancient magical artifact. Though it would be funnier if the human versions of them were smarter than ponies or just the same, making him feel that urge to confront others for their stupidity.

6900588 That's now my official calling card from now on and my introductory speech to everyone i meet too...
6900554 It's a guy thing. Brash and blunt
And this is why Hasbro needs some of the fandom's reviewers on their writing team. See how much better Page is handling the situation?!
That was badass! Chills!
Though, I am a little sad Sunset doesn't get redeemed. Practical and expeditious though it was, I liked redeemed Sunset.
6900963 That is wisdom worthy of being a credo.
6900942 even funnier if nobody was their.
"Alright everypony. They won't be back for a few d-"
-thunk-
"-...Oh."
6901182 i.ytimg.com/vi/bm3lVRkdgFM/hqdefault.jpg
6901187 *later that night.* We see a irate Black Page and innocent young alicorn princess return with her learning a valuable lesson on practicality on breaking and entering, reclaiming stolen items and side lesson in proper stealth technics. With page demanding next time that Twilight Sparkle be not risking her own life with dimensional 'jaunts', leaving it into his and other trained pony hooves or someone with a high enough wisdom stat with him.
6901196 Hah!
6901177 Note how this wouldn't make a great feature length movie?
6900708 We haven't left yet. Perhaps we will meet some one else or three others at a diner.
Probably not though.
6900684 Forget Leonidas, look at this kick from Kamen Rider Joker

So, rather than a flash in the pan, the sirens will be a slow draw forever...? Without that rainbow blast, they won't go away. Ever.
Warmage, huh... I'm pretty sure that Sunset outclass Page in magic so much that it not even funny. She don't know this, thought.
And breaking and stealing? Page actually know how to do this? Especially considering that CHS most likely have security system and alarms.
I think here is where we see the true downside to such short chapters. You have to finish a complete scene each chapter, but sometimes it's just not long enough to give the scene any real flow or it seems rushed. Also, her name is sunset shimmer here...I guess if he meets another person and hears their name he will know it isn't his world.
6901343 It would be funny and sad if they merely locked the doors with no alarms, besides who would break into a high school? It is not like they have much to worry about, oh wait, their principle and vice principle are not that thoughtful...
I can sum up this chapter in one sentence, May Celestia have mercy on you because I won't.

6901328
Yeah, not actually solve, but not actually a problem either, like you say its a draw problem now
*Snort*
If I hadn't read Harry Potter and the Natural 20, I never would have gotten that. As is, I had to break off for laughter before I could finish the chapter.
So far there has been no mention of odd skin/hair colors, and page hasn't once thought "hmmmm, maybe since there are pony counterparts to everyone maybe this isn't actually the human world?"
I have a hard time believing the Sunset Shimmerwould just give up her mission just when her victory is so close, she alway seem to me to be a much more willful person the TS to get what she wants. All that she had done to get their to her and would willing to take the risk of a physical confrontation with blank page for which she would easily turn the situation to look like a victim in the eyes of everyone around them and he is no more powerful then she is or have any jurisdiction in the aria to demand her extradition. I think following closer the original plot would go better then just try and steal the Element of Magic back from the Principal Celestia, I would imagine that Page would try but would get cate in the proses seen he doesn't seem to have any experience in stealing and the TS would try to win it back in the prom.
Well, don't tell her it's hamburger...just tell her it's "Fake Tofu"...
After all, it worked for Tofu being marketed as "Fake Meat"
