After they finished eating and Hay Lin took the dishes to be taken care of the four sat around the room kind of doing their own thing. Taranee was sitting at the table doing her holiday homework early much to the shock of Irma who was sitting on the edge of the cot laying back on it with her arms splayed out. Cornelia was sitting back in the corner between pacing acting almost like a caged animal with a deep frown and saddened expression. Hay Lin’s eyes kept flicking from one to the other as she also sat at the table sideways with a leg pulled up on the chair with her hugging it and resting her shin on her knee.
“I still can’t believe you are worrying about homework now, Taranee. We have plenty of time.” Irma groaned.
“I just want to get it done early so I won’t have to worry about it later.” Taranee said.
“I finished mine early this morning.” Hay Lin admitted getting shocked looks from everyone. “What, I can finish my homework on time.”
“I know you can finish on time, Hay.” Irma said as she sat up with a roll of her eyes. “I just can’t believe you actually finished before Taranee.”
“Well, I had a lot on my mind with the dream and the stuff she said in it.” Hay Lin said looking embarrassed as everyone’s attention was turned to her.
“What stuff?” Cornelia said stiffly.
“You mean there was more to the dream?” Taranee asked giving Hay Lin a curious look.
“Come on, out with it Hay, what else was in it.” Irma urged.
“Look, I don’t know if it was important. There was talk of unicorns and Sun Goddesses and stuff. It’s why I didn’t mention anything to begin with since it all sounds so farfetched that it has to be just a dream.” Hay Lin explained.
“Start from the beginning and tell us everything and don’t leave out a single detail.” Cornelia said as she came back to the table to sit down with a serious expression. This was the Cornelia the group had come to know the last year and a half as she had stepped up to actually become a semi-decent leader in Will’s place when she wasn’t in what Irma called snob mode. Sadly the bursts of Cornelia being like this were few and far between.
“Ok. You know Will came in and when asked to introduce herself she said her name was Sunset Shimmer, a unicorn from Equestria and was once the student of the Sun Goddess and the top student at Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns. She said that the flank kissers claimed some stuck up prince was the stop student.”
“That does sound like one of your messed up dreams.” Cornelia sighed earning a glare from Hay Lin, even if it had a playful edge to it.
“I usually like my messed up dreams thank you very much.” Hay Lin snarked, “Anyways, the teacher said something about it being nice to have such a prestigious student joining us and Will said she just wanted to live a normal life away from all of that with us. That’s when I noticed it was Nerissa and my homework was blank after finishing and Nerissa asked me what was wrong, if a guardian had my tongue.”
“I can see why you thought it was just a dream, it sounds like a normal nightmare.” Cornelia sighed.
“Wait girls, what was the worlds the Oracle told us about when we took Susan there to meet with Elyon, Vathek and Caleb? At least the one he seemed to have a personal grudge against.” Taranee said.
“I still think you was seeing something not there Taranee, Charlie Brown was more burned out than Bill and Ted. Just not as brain dead.” Irma replied with a grin.
“No, she has a point.” Cornelia said getting a smile in appreciation by Taranee only for it to change into a huff as the blonde continued. “At least on the world, I really don’t think anything can phase that guy.”
“I think it was Equisterra or something.” Hay Lin said with a shudder.
“Equestria.” Irma said slowly making all their eyes go wide.
“Do you think Sunset Shimmer and Will is connected? Maybe they know each other and actually came here? Maybe that was Will?” Taranee said hopefully.
“That couldn’t have been Will, she would have just said she was and besides she was working with Shagon.” Cornelia said crossing her arms with a huff. “I refuse to believe Will would align herself with Shagon and Nerissa!”
“We should just keep our plans as is for now until we learn more about Sunset Shimmer and what is going on. I have a feeling there is more going on than meets the eye.” Hay Lin said before groaning as Irma started humming the theme song to Transformers.
Sunset was exhausted by the time she found her way back to where Shagon teleported them from. She had cried over the feelings of betrayal and the way it made her heart feel, but she pulled herself together reminding herself that she wasn’t some weak little girl who was going to let some jerk walk all over her. She reminded herself that she was Sunset Freaking Shimmer and she wouldn’t be brought down because of some stupid hormones making her feel things for a stupid boy.
The problem with psyching oneself up though was that eventually you would realize no matter how much you tried to pump yourself up it didn’t get rid of your feelings of sadness, heartbreak and even loneliness. The loneliness was actually easy to deal with she figured because she would be spending time with Susan whom she did accept that the woman loved her. Heck, Sunset had to admit she loved the woman as a mother but was afraid to call the woman mother. For one, she was worried if she did things would change again as they always did when she got too close to a parental figure. And second, she was still coming to terms with knowing she was the woman’s daughter in a new body with new memories. She wasn’t sure what to think of it still as she could actually be Will’s daughter and Susan’s daughter, but that would discount what the spirits told Yan Lin? Was she a reincarnation then? That posed the same problem in some ways?
Discounting loneliness, there was still the sadness and heartbreak. Those emotions were harder for her to deal with as they had been a constant plague to her for awhile now. It left her wondering if she was just feeling effected by the pain Anon-A-Miss caused still with this opening those wounds again of if maybe her emotions were somehow mixing with the emotions belonging to Will somewhere deep inside? The whole thing was just so confusing no matter how she looked at it.
The ride back toward the apartment was actually a nice surprise as not only had the old man driving the bus express concern for her expression and asked if she was okay, but so had two other people. Despite the rough day she had had with two people being bigoted to her it was nice to see strangers express concern for her. It showed that there were good people out there. They accepted her mumbled answer that she was okay, just an argument with her friend.
As she got off the bus she squared her shoulders as she carried her bags inside the lobby giving the security guard a nod and smile as she passed him.
“Hope you are enjoying your time here Ms. Shimmer. I must say I haven’t seen Ms. Vandom this happy.” The middle aged man said as he hurried past Sunset and pushed the elevator call button for her.
“Thank you Mr. Aggrest.” Sunset said as the elevator dinged announcing it’s arrival with the man holding the door open to make sure it didn’t close until Sunset was safely in with her bags. It didn’t take long at all to pull out her elevator key that let her access the top floor as Susan showed her and get home.
“Welcome home honey, I’m glad to see you bought some stuff.” Susan said as she hurried to Sunset once she saw her and gave her a hug and kiss on the head. “Did you have fun?”
“Actually, for the most part I did. I have to go back to the mall tomorrow to pick up a guitar they’re holding for me.” Sunset said a little sheepishly.
“Let me guess, you only took a little bit of money with you.” Susan said with an exaggerated sigh. She didn’t want to say she expected it even if she did because she was also curious to see how the teen spent the money. She fully wanted and expected Sunset to have the money spent by the end of the weekend, yet she was relieved and even proud that the girl was being thrifty with it. She needed to get Sunset to understand that it was okay to spend it, that she needed to balance her want to be thrifty and the fact that she needed stuff. As in literally needed stuff as in the girl’s clothes were barely holding together at some points though it was easy to tell that somebody had lovingly did a lot of repair work on some pieces. Still, she was proud that Sunset wasn’t in danger of becoming a spoiled brat, not that would have made Susan love her any less. She would have just had to have given a little tough love and break the girl of the habit.
“I only took seven hundred dollars.” Sunset said, blushing a little as she saw Susan’s jaw drop.
“And you got all that?” Susan asked in astonishment. Sure she realized Sunset had been frugal, but this was insane! Even Twilight ended up with not even half of what Sunset had for that much money.
“Well, I got a drawing desk and an easel they will be delivering.” Sunset said.
“All that for seven hundred dollars?” Susan sighed rubbing the bridge of her nose. “Sunset, honey, I’m going shopping with you tomorrow when you pick up your guitar and we aren’t leaving until you have ten changes of clothes at least and a warm winter coat if you didn’t get one and underwear.”
“I’m sorry I disappointed you.” Sunset sighed.
“Oh honey, you didn’t.” Susan said giving another hug though this time not letting go. “I’m so proud that you know the value of money and aren’t one of those snobs, but you need certain things sweetie. And since I am now off until after Christmas what better way to spend a day than mother daughter bonding by shopping?”
“That sounds fun actually.” Sunset said genuinely happy to get to spend a day with Susan as her worries melted away for the moment as the woman held her.
“Let’s get dinner taken care of then we can put up the tree and some Christmas decorations.” Susan said a little impatient to do that with Sunset.
Welp girls have complete vision information ... and why am I not surprised that it changes nothing ?
It seems Irma channels The Memes, Senator Armstrong would be proud.
Sunset's emotional control still requires fine-tuning via self-discovery... or some acts of unspeakable and unrestrained violence ... there is always Blueblood to deck or Zambala to burn.
Susan takes it rather well, normally teenage girl that doesn't clear a bank for clothes is the sign of bad days, but one that makes smart and cheap shopping is a sign of an oncoming apocalypse.
Welp all signs point that at the mother&daughter shopping trip, there will be a trailer for the new movie "Snobs 2: Racist boogaloo". Buckle up your safety nets because we probably will have first seats to check if Mt.Susan has bigger eruptions than Mt.Shimmer .
Shucks, a mention in the authors notes, I think I'm blushing and I am not certain it isn't that ketchup mix with tabasco that I had for fries.
11492561
Thanks, I fixed them.
Yep, and sadly they will cause trouble before they get the whole story. How much is yet to be seen.
Very proud me thinks.
I kind of think she might enjoy using Blueblood for her stress relief as well as sciencey things such as running test to see if he really has blue blood. She does need to get a little more control though that might be harder said than done.
I'm actually surprised she wasn't panicking and trying to discreetly check to see if Sunset was a changeling lol. I'm sure she will be able to get Sunset to buy a few things.
We shall find out soon enough as the trip will happening within the next few part. Just two more parts before the next day.
Bleh, tobassco? Try soe mayo mixed with the ketchup.
11492561
I... I missed stuff....
11492771
It happens to the best , no biggie
Well after some digging in that creativity cavern, there is some more omake, it's kinda one story in three episodes...
"Part one :Illegal Deals"
Sunset was testing the new Twilight gizmo before breakfast, a little stand with crystal that served to collect and convert magical energy into electricity. It not only let her train magic, casting lightning in particular, and lower bills but also stopped her from animating any more appliances (Mo...Susan was not happy when the microwave started lecturing her about how her heavily buttered popcorn is not healthy). That it also doubles as a nice replacement for the lava lamp was a bonus.
There was only one thing ...
"Where did she get it?" She asked out loud.
"Got what honey?" Susan asked from behind her newspaper.
"This," Sunset pointed at the crystal. "Is very refined, thaumatically..."
Susan truly wanted to share her daughter's interest and fascination with magic, problem was that most of techno ... arcane babble was flying over her head, so she chose at the time before she could understand more than one in the ten words to use standard work tactic: Do something else and nod in appropriate moments. She was reading that after a true landslide victory (88,8% that was checked by eight different commissions for signs of tampering) new U.S.A president, Damian Isaac Scord promises to implement his planned big changes "...so long as it doesn't interfere with my close friend tea parties..."
"Well, at least he has his priorities straight." Susan thought and promptly ignored that president's photo winked at her and tipped the top hat he didn't have in the photo, it was probably all the decaf that the coffee machine recommended her to switch to...
"... doesn't help that Martin got a similar crystal from Twilight and also the fact that those etchings mark this crystal as one ordered by royal guard..." Sunset continued.
"I don't know sweetie, maybe she just bought it at a local store?"
Susan hoped that those were the right words.
Sunset's palm had a meeting with Sunset face, it was short, fast, and loud...
Martin was in ... what comes after seventh heaven? ... he was quite a happy boy indeed. His mind couldn't quite remember what he was doing with his romantic life through a haze of happiness, something about another girl? What other girl? Twilight was one and only, she was smarter than him, she understood his jokes, and she didn't think he was a pathetic loser. He couldn't stop grinning at the memory of when they did IT ... they were holding hands ... in school! And she was genuinely smiling without asking him for homework...
There was also the fact that she opened before him a world of magic and magical discoveries but it was kind of meh in comparison. Besides he always knew that magic existed and the government was hiding one big extra-planar conspiracy with the help of another government filled with mythical creatures, who's laughing now, fellow conspiracy theorists?!
His thoughts returned to swimming in romantic directions when he was cutting a gem that he borrowed from the lab, he has such plans for it: a new spectrum scanner with the in-built lightsaber for his beautiful Sparkle ... and maybe nice Arwen Evenstar made from cuttings...
If Martin could read extraplanar languages ... or notice etching on the crystal in his love-struck state he would know that this hunk of crystal was marked as "Property of P.B"...
Two days earlier ...
It was late evening, it was going to be a normal night ... up until one Twilight Sparkle dressed in a latex spy outfit jumped out of the window into bushes ... it was the ground floor window. She then "gracefully" jumped from bush to bush up to the fence surrounding the property preparing herself for jumping over ... then she remembered her last gym class and instead opted to exit through the back gate like a civilized human being. After going through several back alleys she arrived at the meeting place, and there was her contact, dressed in a long green robe ... or bathrobe ... she couldn't tell, with hood masking face.
When she started researching strange energy that she now knew was magic she needed materials that were not exactly ... public. Well if there was one thing that Cinch was good for it was establishing a not-quite-illegal black market at Crystal Prep that even she knew about. When she started dealing with her contact she expected that parts will cost her the funds that she has for her planned doctorate number twenty-seven, as it turned out prices were ... unique... and they even make deliveries to Sheffield.
"Welcome stranger, what is the password?" Asked robbed figure in a feminine voice.
"Is this really necessary?" Twilight asked exasperated, it wasn't their first meeting...
"Correct password." Figure chirped." Now, do you have payment for the ordered stuff?"
Twilight gave her paper bag, figure looked inside and took a sniff. "Yes that is correct, and payment for my ... what's the word? Meditation?"
"Mediation." Twilight corrected and gave her a second paper bag.
"That one." The figure looked inside. "Well, that checks out, here is your order." The figure gave her a bag that was decorated with glitter. Twilight looked inside, and yes ordered two special crystals and a vial of blue dust marked with symbols for biological danger ... for "special needs". When she looked up the figure disappeared. As it was nothing new Twilight returned home "undiscovered" in her opinion and noted her exchange on computer for future tax record, not knowing that her mother is proud thinking that her daughter is "Finally a teenager, I can't wait for her first felony".
Meanwhile mysterious figure jumped into the limousine that was parked on the next street. Said car started the journey for Canterlot City ...
Part two: Dealings Illegal
It was late at night when the limousine parked next to an alicorn statue and from it exited a figure robbed in green ... meeting a figure robbed in dark blue with rather costly-looking sequins.
"Nice robes." Said the green figure.
"Thanks, a friend made new ones ... because old ones were not in season..." Answered the blue figure, his/her voice sounding garbled like it was speaking through the water. "Do you have payment for the last order?"
The green figure nodded and went to give paper bag but was stopped when from out of nowhere there was a loud scream...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..."
Both figures weren't moving till the green one said :
"Wow, that sounded similar to that one blonde prick that I kicked between the legs ... only louder and less pitched..."
"He deserved more kicks for sure..." Answered the blue figure, before they commenced with the exchange. Blue figure received a paper bag and gave one in return without being asked, it was not the first exchange...
Both figures checked the contents, and nodded before going in their own direction. A green one to the limousine, and a blue one through the statue.
The green figure sat comfortably taking off her hood ...
"Is everything alright Lady Sonata?" Asked driver.
"Yup, yup it is "Answered Sonata Dusk taking her payment out of the bags: From first a nice homemade taco, and from second her favorite equestrian hay fries ... even if they make her tummy all rumbly. One would ask how did she find herself in a limo, well it started when her bestest friends (even when they hate being called that) were all grouchy after that battle of the bands business and worried that they lost their gems and how to live now, she didn't know why they were so wooried , hers grew back next day. They were so deep in their exchange that they asked her to go out for now (Well they were shouting at her but it's polite for them). She then went to the local cafe and saw that one guy that was so sad playing on his laptop, she doesn't exactly understand that "Stocky" game but it looked easy and she told him how to win, he didn't look convinced but then he did it and started crying from happiness, weird but okay. He said something about me saving his family legacy. Wow, she didn't knew that game was a family one, anyway she asked if he has some room for a day or two because she and her friend are maybe kinda homeless for now. His face made than funny thing when it changes super fast and he said that he has loging , it seems to be a word for room. Then she went for Addiago and Aria but they were still grouchy and said that they need to stay here from the lack of money and for her to shut up (shut what?), she shrugged and returned saying that her friends want to stay there. He was confused but then he took her to his nice big palace and wow he even had that old picture on the wall, that nice guy adolf...something painted for her in europe, he was a such sweetheart but then Adagio said they need to move and she didn't even said goodbye. She looked good on it in that red dress. The nice guy probably thought that too, he was looking really fast on the picture and then at me. She then spends days getting food for Adi&Ari, they reaaaly like that rundown apartment, they don't even want to listen about her new room. and helping a nice guy play Stocky, even when he says that It's already too much help and he needs to learn to do it on his own.
Lately, she got that nice offer for picking up stuff between Equestria and Sheffield for some snacks, and it is nice: get to the place, take things for giving things and she gets food? Woooorth it.
In The Castle of Friendship, in the dark room mirror surface ripples, and a pony in a dark blue robe steps out going to the table with ill-gotten gains, something raises from a paper bag in a purple glow, and there is the sound of shuffling paper and sniffing...
"Haven't you forgotten about something Twilight?"
"Kyaaaaaaaaaa!!"
Lights turn on and at the entrance to the room stands Spike while next to the table is Twilight Sparkle in shady robes ... with a burger in telekinesis.
"Spike!" She shouts. " Don't scare me like that!"
"Like what? The same way as the last time?"
"Yes, exactly like that..." Twilight calms her beating heart while Spike looks inside the bag in search of something "You should be sleeping."
"And you should reign in your pork addiction." Answers dragon.
"It's not addiction, it's just so tasty and juicy ..., especially bacon..." Twilight drools a little before shaking herself. "And what do you have to say about dog cookies?"Twilight changes the topic, while Spike sits with a bag of dog treats.
"That I have a problem but at least I admit it?" Spike says while looking at the new book on the table. "Nuclear Fission... never heard about that..."
"I know, isn't it exciting." Twilight instantly becomes radiant. "New science, new applications, think about possibilities..."
"Uhuh..."Spike mumbles between the bites. "And what was the cost for that stuff?"
"Oh, nothing important."
"Nothing important?"
"Absolutely nothing, just two military-grade crystals, and some pranking material."
"Oh, so that's where went that crystal from the changeling detector that Royal Guard uses, and after a month they still didn't notice."Spike says with realization. "Isn't it important?"
"No, it is not Spike, my detection spell is a lot better and more efficient and even Pumpkin Cake can cast it. That detector was built by that idiotic professor that can't cast simple cantrip let alone proper spell."
Twilight speaks vehemently taking another bite from a burger.
"And he gave me an F for my spell crafting project that imbecile, my spell was very simple."Twilight mumbles.
"Twilight, your definition of simple is kinda skewered."
"You understood it."
"Yes, and thanks to your education I could get a doctorate if not for those snobs in canterlot... and that second crystal?"
"Well..."
Not long ago...
Prince Blueblood got back to his chamber after a very tiring day of looking perfect and sneering at those unworthy peasants. He lay on his bed, putting on his head machine that he ordered from those scientists that are wasting their time on "bettering pony lifes", a machine that will help keep his mane at night as perfect as it is in a day. If he was more perceptive he would have noticed the lack of quite a big crystal that serves as a coolant, and smelled that something is burning, as it is it took him about an hour, and the fact that his eyes were full of tears from smoke that something is not right. He was instead able to notice the state of his head in one of the mirrors in the room.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..."
His "stained glass and normal windows damaging" scream was heard in many places, including Discord dimension, Changeling Castle, Meridian, Kandrakar, and of course Canterlot City.
"THOU SHALL QUIT YOUR YAPPING! AND THOU SHALL PAY FOR ALL GLASS THAT THOU DAMAGED!" Princess Luna was, even with Royal Canterlot Voice quite behind in the amount of noise generation first time in her long life.
...from a truly unimportant place."Twilight said with a straight face.
Before Spike could ask for more, the mirror portal rippled, and from it came Princess Celestia wearing a white robe with her cutie mark motif all over it ... and a fake mustache on the nose...
In her telekinetic aura was levitating one cake black as the void, one that was visibly oozing something that for the inexperienced would be classified as darkest of magics.
Vice-Principal Luna was proud of herself for securing funding for the school in form of a small bag filled with golden coins. Nothing in her lifetime ban on using her scenic persona "Nightmare Moon" or her ban on baking "Coffie Catastrophy" beyond private use (Cake banned in fourteen different countries and five different states by causing widespread riots, and also unknowingly to Luna inspired four different superhuman serum programs that were using her recipe to grant abnormal speed, the problem was keeping subject from vibrating out of existence after decimating facilities) wasn't specifying "selling it to an extra-dimensional counterpart of her sister. Those government schmucks should know better...
There was an awkward silence where all occupants of the room were staring at each other. Finally, the silence was broken by Twilight.
"Additional funding for books and bacon, and neither of us speaks about it to no one especially Princess Luna or You-Know-Who-starting-with-letters-d-i-e , deal?"
"It's a deal, my faithful student," Celesta answered with a smile and a smidge of pride in her voice.
At the time it also got to Twilight's brain that she just blackmailed Princess Celestia ... needless to say there was a blue screen involved and in last functional corner of Twilight subconcious was a thought that maybe , just maybe she has a problem,,,
Part three:Illegal Pranking
Twilight Sparkle was dropping her last not-successful chemical experiment into the glass container on the table when there was a knock on the heavy steel door.
"It's open," Twilight shouted, and there entered a person that she hoped in the future will become her student. At this point it time she was only tutored.
"Hi, Twilight." Said her guest."Still brewing?"
"Hi, Lilian" Answered Twilight. "Your parents still think that you need a tutor to learn the alphabet?"
Cornelia's younger sister Lilian was ... a little similar to Twilight, but in contrast to her many think that Lilian is behind other children when it is quite the opposite ... oh and they both hate Cornelia's guts. She also might be a fellow SCIENCE! enthusiast in the making.
"Yup," Chirped the small child."That dumb caretaker said to them that I pretend to read, I play with dolls, and draw funny."
"Weren't you reading "Quantum Physics in 3 easy steps" that I borrowed you, using my stress test dummy to test that mini-gauss cannon and creating a diagram for results? By the way, how did you make it so flawlessly, mine works only after three tries ... and two labs."
"I dunno, it just works when I want it to."Lilian shrugged."And how is our child? Our little Slimey?" Lillian started making baby faces at occupant of the aquarium: a purple slime, the size of a basketball, and a goofy smile and eyes...at least Twilight thinks those are eyes...
"Lilian, you know it is not our child?"
"I know that we did some mixing of some chemicals with water from the local river and poured it at that big vine fragment that my sister's friends said attacked them, still thinking they were exaggerating, and I was hoping that it will do something ... and it did. Now we have a cute child. "She ended by taking slime out of the aquarium and hugging it, the creature was gurgling and vibrating. "So don't make us f***ing divorce, do it for this cutie."
Twilight rolled her eyes. " I will not chastise you for language since that's not my job and I heard worse from Cadence when she hits the dresser with her foot. I only ask where you heard that since for all her faults, her filter is not that bad."
"True, but mom has an even worse one than her."
"Go figure..." Twilight mumbled under her nose before taking out if pocket vial with blue dust. "Wanna help me prank your sister for her last remarks towards me and my friend ?"
"Do I ?" Lilian was instantly paying attention.
Twilight still didn't know why Sunset wasn't getting revenge for all vitriol that Cornelia was spewing.
What Twilight didn't know was that Sunset already had her revenge by going to Cornelia's favorite ranch and with the use of some gestures, salty lollipops, and some other methods of communication made that all horses don't let Cornelia get even within ten meters close without either running or becoming aggressive. After all, mares like women stick together...
Lilian had an easy job "accidentally" dye Cornelia's favored towel blue on Friday so the effects of "unpredictable allergenic substance" work through the weekend when parents are away ... again. What both Twilight nor Lilian didn't foresee was that Cornelia will share her towel with her friends ... and somehow Matt... and neither did they check that because of some issues earlier in the year students need to go to school ... on that Saturday...
Cornelia woke up startled by an alarm and after a couple of minutes stood up to prepare for school. She could not ignore it because thanks to guardian job she and rest of W.I.T.C.H have warning for truancy. "It was much easier with astral drops" Cornelia complains to herself. At least she was before she saw her reflection in the mirror ...
Needless to say, Cornelia's screams were music for Lilian's ears ... that is until she saw what that allergen did to her. After her sister left the house for school, she checked if there was some leftover dust for her use on herself ...
Hay Lin had a nice morning before going to school but for some reason, her father was smiling proudly at her and talking using only Chinese, not that it is an unusual occurrence. When she arrived at school she had her first shock of the day.
Teranee was ... for lack of a better description bipolar ... as in black&white like some human zebra... and not only that ...
"Hay Lin what a treat, for us to meet. There is a reason that I rhyme but I don't know what at the time..."
... she became a poet.
"Teranee , what happenend?" She asked.
Teranee frowned but before answering came the second shock for a day ... in the form of Cornelia ... with skin in a nice shade of pink ... and her eyes are kinda bigger?
"Oh god it's not only me, at least Hay Lin is normal..." Cornelia said catching her breath ... and trying to ignore some student's stares.
"Of course, I'm normal, most normal of them all ..."
Both Teranee and Cornelia frowned.
"Hay Lin, you know I don't speak moonspeak..."Said, Cornelia.
"Hay Lin, English language please for I don't speak Chinese..." Teranee ... rhymed...
Now it was Hay Lin that frowned, then she took out her phone and activated the dictaphone.
"Hello..." She said and then played back.
"Nǐ hǎo" Answered her voice ... well that explains a lot. Without much thinking, she took out her notepad for communication and wrote that she can't speak in English, well at least writing was okay.
After reading that Cornelia said out loud. "Oh great Hay Lin is stuck on moonspeak, Teranee is a living drama icon and I am a crayon with tattoos on my buttcheeks..."
Teranee with great emotional control asked: "That is hard to believe, do you have proof that you don't deceive?"
Hay Lin had less emotional control and was at this time supporting herself on the locker while laughing herself silly.
Cornelia blushed visibly even with pink skin, if that was in anger or embarrassment was hard to tell, and with some hesitation, she showed a photo on her phone.
It was one picture: the "Twilight" book on the left but instead of the apple on the cover it had her guardian symbol, on the right, it was a fashion magazine, both were partially covered by ... a corn.
That picture sends Hay Lin to the floor with laughter and hiccups.
While the girls are trying to help Hay Lin recover (Teranne is more eager than Cornelia) through the corridor walks Twilight Sparkle with Martin holding hands. Most of the male population is glaring at Martin, mostly because he is the first in the entire school to get the girl to like him not for homework benefits but out of genuine affection. Needless to say that the fact that instead of some jock it is "Martin The Loser" who got a true girlfriend is a serious blow below the belt to male pride of ... well every male except Martin.
Twilight looked over at Cornelia and said "Posing copycat" and walked further with her boyfriend.
"Cornelia I mean it well, and I need to tell that in her mind she was laughing all the way to hell."
Cornelia after gaping for a couple of minutes blew up ... literally.
"That ...that crayon has the audacity to laugh at my skin color? Who does she think she is ..." During her tirade, she didn't notice that her hair momentarily caught on fire, then popped popcorn kernels on the floor then returned to "normal".
That one moment cemented in the school's collective unconscious that there must be something in the air and this is a massive hallucination that is not worth attention.
Girls were rolling their eyes over Cornelia's hypocrisy that flies so high it could damage the international space station ... that was before they saw who is standing behind Cornelia.
"...and when I ... why are you staring behind me..." Before they said something Cornelia turned back ... and she saw Abs.
"Oh my god, you can grind cheese on those..." Then she looked up ... and saw Irma's face. Saying that she was ripped was like saying that Darth Vader has a cough...
The day turned out not to be so bad later.
Hay Lin was praised for her language skills.
Teranee was forcibly inducted into the drama club ... before other members remembered that she and her friends got a ban on performing, didn't change the fact that Teranee had fun.
Irma had a very good time working out her frustrations ... by showing up strongest jock first in the gym ... and then later massacring them at dodgeball.
Cornelia somehow could write teenage drama much better than her earlier attempts and she was able in a couple of hours to produce a book that was contesting "Twilight" for over six months and caused new shipping wars ... not like it was hard to achieve...
After the weekend they turned back to normal and all of that was partially forgotten and/or suppresed by the Sheffield population.
The only person that had a bad time through that weekend was Lilian who was feeling "A little hoarse" ... as her hair turned into yellow lilies which she was allergic to and she spend that weekend in her bed barely coherent. Well, she and one other...
Nerissa was staring at her not-quite-trusted but powerful servant.
"Shagon, can you explain in your own words ... da fug?"
Shagon having no face at the moment ... literally could only shake his head and shrug... and listen to how his other half is laughing his ass off inside the head...
If he could feed on his own hate, he would be a god long ago ...
Welp here it goes.

No big deal, it's extremely hard to get everything once you get into a story if your anything like me and your brain automatically corrects stuff without actually noticing it doing that.

OMG that was freaking awesome! Each section was better than the last and the laughs kept coming. You should copy and paste that as a story on your profile too as it is really good! It took me a second to realize that the president was Discord but the wink and hat tip confirmed it. I love all the shady dealings and the source of both crystals was so perfect. Revenge on two idiots and getting the stuff she needed, so perfect. Blueblood really deserved his...let's say situation especially. The whole robed clan destine thing was brilliant and the way Twilight blackmailed Celestia was brilliant. And let's not forget the Lillian and Twilight bit with the slime and I'm guessing the main ingredient in the dye for the towel was poison joke which caused some really interesting effects. I would love to see Cornelia's reaction to whast Sunset caused at her favorite ranch. I do have to say I am very happy that Sonata fell into a good situation as she has always been my favorite siren.
