> Princess of the Sky - Season 1 > by Onyx Dash > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a dark and starry night at Ponyville in the land of Equestria. Everypony was sound asleep in their houses and all was quiet. Only few were awake, but only if they were doing their nighttime reading or staying up late for their early jobs. But all of Ponyville was silent. In the center of the town, there was a castle. It had sort of a similar resemblance to a crystalized tree with a golden door serving as the entrance with two purple windows. But inside the tree above it was the part that looked like an actual castle that was purple with golden rooftops. Parts of the crystalized tree were stuck on the castle. The castle had golden balconies and what hung from them were diamond streamers that were in colors such as pink, orange, yellow, blue, and purple. Above one of the balconies, coming from one of the castle's walls was a purple flag that had a pink star design to it and was hung from a gold pole. And around the center top of the roof was a giant crystal that was in the shape as the design on the flag. This certain castle was known as The Castle of Friendship, and served as the home to Princess Twilight Sparkle. Inside of the castle, there was a certain library chamber because Twilight was one of the smartest of her class before becoming an alicorn and was even a student to Princess Celestia. This chamber was tons full of books from all different kinds of subjects. From history to literature to anything. Sitting around one of the tables was a young alicorn who had a coat of a light brilliant raspberry, along with moderate violet eyes and a mane of dark phthalo blue with moderate purple and brilliant rose streaks. This certain alicorn was Twilight Sparkle. Twilight was sitting at one of the tables late at night who was trying to fix a necklace like amulet with a golden rim that covered a red lightning bolt shaped crystal. She was using her alicorn magic from her horn on it and concentrated on it real hard. Beside her was an open book that had words that said, "How to transfer magic into the Elements of Harmony". On the other side of the table was a candle to provide her light in the dark castle. Twilight kept focusing real hard on the crystal, but all of a sudden she heard some footsteps echoing through the hallways of the castle. Twilight gasped. "Huh? What's Spike doing up so late?" Twilight asked to herself. She then quickly took her magic off the amulet and hid it alongside with her book. Without any last minute thought, she decides to fake herself going to sleep. She quickly put her hooves on the table and put her head down and suddenly made fake snoring noises. The footsteps got louder as it got closer to the library. The footsteps turned out to be from a little baby dragon who had scales that was the color of a light mullberry, as well as light spring budish gray underbelly, and light lime green "ears". He had moderate harlequin scales that went from the top of his head, to his back, all the way down to his tail. This was Twilight's best friend and #1 assistant Spike. He had been with Twilight ever since she was a young filly and if it weren't for the birth of Spike, Twilight wouldn't have been Celestia's student. Spike was walking slowly through the hallway with a weary look on his face. And halfway through he yawned. He said to himself, "Oh... so thirsty. I need to get a drink of water. I shouldn't of eaten those spicy hay fries today." As he walked through the hallway, he passed through the library hall and happened to see Twilight in there asleep. (Or should I say, "asleep") Spike then decided to save his drink of water for later and decide to at least make sure Twilight was in bed. Since he was her #1 assistant and all. When he got to the table where Twilight was at, Spike noticed the poorly hidden book with the mysterious red amulet. Spike then woke up the fakely asleep Twilight by shaking her hoof. Twilight noticed this and decided to pretend that she was very sleepy. Twilight woke up with a fake yawn and said with a sleepy voice, "Oh, Spike... what're you doing up?" "That's the same question I have for you Twilight," said Spike. "What're you doing up?" Twilight then nervously said, "Uhh... you know, just doing some late-night reading. I really want to get to the next chapter of this exciting story!" She nervously laughed. Spike then asked her, "Really, what's the story about?" Twilight quickly got up on her hooves and tried to get Spike back to his room. She then continued in her nervous voice, "Uhh, I'll tell you about it in the morning! Hehe. Why don't you go back to sleep, you really need your eight hours of it." Spike noticing the poorly hid book with amulet, he then asked Twilight, "Um, Twilight? Are you hiding something from me?" "Nope! And if I was, it's probably just something personal that I think you shouldn't see, so why don't you go back to bed and I can tell you that neat story in the morning, okay? Okay!" said Twilight as she kept trying to get Spike out of her room. Spike then asked Twilight again, "Oh I get it, you are hiding something from me, are you?" "Spike just go back to bed!" yelled Twilight as her nervousness turned into anger. Spike then said back, "Twilight, I just want to see what you're doing!" Twilight got angrier and yelled back at Spike, "Just get the hell back to bed Spike!" Spike then got really frustrated and yelled in Twilight's face, "Twilight, you haven't been yourself lately! Everyone in Ponyville has been really worried about you! All of your friends have been wondering where you've been all this time! And when I try to check and see what you're doing, you just get really upset with me! Twilight, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!" Twilight quickly stopped, as well as her anger. She and Spike had a silent moment for a few seconds. Twilight then quickly started to tear up and started to sniffle. She then put her hoof on Spike's face gently and cried to him quietly, "Oh, Spike. I'm sorry if I've been acting like this to you and Ponyville. I've just been really busy lately and that hasn't given me much time to be with you guys." Spike then started to tear up too. Spike then gently said to the tearsome Twilight, "It's alright Twilight. We all go through this all the time. You told me that before. So can you please tell me what you're doing?" Twilight replied to Spike saying, "I'm sorry Spike. This is something Princess Celestia told me to keep secret, even from you." Spike then quickly cried out, "Twilight, I'm your #1 assistant, dammit! We've been through almost everything together ever since I was born, and I've helped you up all the way! So if there's at least one being you should exploit your secret to, it's me!" Twilight sighed and then said gently, "Alright Spike. I'll let you know what I'm doing, but as long as you manage to keep this a secret between us. So don't tell anyone. Got it?" Spike then comedically dropped his jaw and said, "Even Pinkie Pie?" Twilight gently giggled and said, "Even Pinkie Pie." "Okay, Twilight. I'll hold my truth to the very end." said a very bold Spike. Twilight stopped tearing up, as well as Spike, and the two hugged each other, and she quietly said to Spike, "Thank you." The two then went back to the table in the library and Twilight brought out the book with the amulet. She then relighted her candle, opened her book back to the page she was on, and put her magic right back on the amulet. Spike then noticed and said, "Wait, isn't that the Element of Loyalty?" "Yes Spike." replied Twilight as she continued to concentrate on the amulet. Spike then asked her, "What are you doing with it?" She then showed Spike the page of her book which read "How to transfer magic into the Elements of Harmony". Spike then curiously asked, "Why are you transferring magic into the Element of Loyalty?" Twilight then took a break from inserting magic into the amulet and turned to her dragon friend. "Well Spike, it's a pretty long story. But since I have to hold up on my promise, I guess I have no choice anyhow." said Twilight. Spike then replied, "Well Twi, whatever you have, I'm ready for it." Twilight then smiled at her friend and said, "Hehe. Alright Spike, here's the main point: Queen Chrysalis is back." "Wait, wasn't she that witch who tried to infiltrate your brother's wedding who had those things who transformed into you and the others?" asked Spike. "Yep." replied Twilight. Spike then asked, "Wasn't she and the other Changelings destroyed when your brother and Cadence blasted her and her minions away?" Twilight then said, "Well, they weren't destroyed actually, but yes, they were blasted away. Recently, Celestia's guards noticed that some Changelings managed to sneak their way back into Equestria, either they have a secret hideout that nopony knows about or they've disguised themselves as one of Equestria's citizens." Spike then got shocked and said, "Wait, that blast didn't destroy those things? How was that possible?" Twilight then replied to her young dragon assistant, "Because the magic that was used to blast Chrysalis and the other Changelings away isn't that type of magic that's able to defeat her once and for all. The reason why, you may ask?" "Pretty much, yeah." said Spike. "The reason being is that Chrysalis can only be demolished with the spell of a pegasi." said Twilight. Spike got really confused and said, "Pegasi? But Cadence is an alicorn right? She has wings, so why didn't she rid of Chrysalis?" "It's not that complex Spike. What I meant by pegasi, I actually meant full-blooded pegasi. Alicorns are different. They're half-unicorn, half-pegasi, except really more powerful. The reason why alicorns can't destroy Changelings, while pegasi can is based on one heck of a huge story." said Twilight. "Well, can't you tell me it?" asked Spike. Twilight replied with, "Well I do need to hold on my promise. Hehe. Okay, long ago after Luna's banishment, the mysterious creatures called Changelings, led by Chrysalis, emerged from the depths of the planet. Chrysalis had only one thing in mind: to steal all of the Elements of Harmony to control all of Equestria because with them, she'd be more powerful than Celestia herself. Each Element was scattered across Equestria so they can be protected, and during her time in Equestria, she managed to disguise herself as one of each Element's bases' citizens and managed to steal each one. She already got four and there was one more she needed to get: the Element of Loyalty. Celestia was infuriated when she heard of the other four elements disappearances, and feared that if she managed to get the Element of Loyalty and then the Element of Magic, Celestia would be weak." "Oh man! I didn't know that Chrysalis could be that much powerful!" said Spike. "So anyways, going back to the story, Chrysalis managed to make her way to Cloudsdale and get almost close to the Element, only to be stopped by Celestia. The two would fight it out, and since Chrysalis had four elements at the time, she gained a distinct advantage over Celestia. The princess of Equestria couldn't even touch her because if any hoof touched Changeling skin, it would burn a lot. The battle between Celestia and Chrysalis was intense, and around the end, Chrysalis gained the upper hoof. Before the final blow was struck, the Element of Loyalty started to glow and out from it, emerged a warrior pegasi of immense power, strength, speed, and other attributes." said Twilight as she continued her story. Spike replied with, "What?! A warrior pegasi?!" Twilight replied with, "Yes. A warrior that was able to match with Chrysalis' power, she was known by legend as The Princess of the Sky. This being had a little rivalry with Chrysalis in the past, and even banished Chrysalis and the Changelings into the grounds of Equestria. The reason why The Princess of the Sky was able to match with Chrysalis was because her hooves were immune to Changeling skin. She managed to give Chrysalis what she deserved for only a little while." "Damn! Another being that's stronger than Celestia?!" asked Spike. "Language Spike, please. But, yes. Yet another being that even surpasses Celestia. But she was only there for a little while and then, like a whisper, she was gone. Fortunately, Chrysalis was weakened enough for Celestia to take down, and with a mighty alicorn blast, she managed to defeat Chrysalis and banish her and her Changelings back to the Badlands, retaining the other Elements of Harmony in the progress. Shortly after, Celestia decided that scattering the Elements is too dangerous, so she decided to gather them at their old castle and encase them stone so they won't be used again, until today." as Twilight finished her story. "And that's when you and your friends used the Elements to take down Nightmare Moon, correct?" asked Spike. Twilight nodded her head. She then said, "But now that Celestia fears that Chrysalis has returned once again, she believes that she also gotten more powerful during her time in the Badlands. And she decided that the only way to destroy Chrysalis once and for all, is to reawaken the Princess of the Sky with the Element of Loyalty. So she told me to make the Element of Loyalty more powerful enough for the Princess of the Sky to reawaken." Spike then asked Twilight eagerly, "Then you're saying we could see the Princess of the Sky here tonight?" Twilight replied, "It may not look that simple. But to me, it is. Celestia told me that the only way to reawaken the Princess of the Sky is to emerge the power of the Element of Loyalty into someone who's loyal enough to defend all of Equestria. And she thought that the perfect choice for the bearer of that power would be none other than the current bearer of the Element of Loyalty, one Rainbow Dash." "Oh. I get it, but isn't there some other reason why, I'm just curious." said Spike. "Another reason why is that both the Princess of the Sky and Rainbow shared a similar history. Both were named the best flyer of Equestria once, they both did have a pretty brash attitude, they did, obviously, bear the Element of Loyalty, and on the tip of the iceberg, both are somehow blood-related." said Twilight. Spike then got a shocked look on his face. "You're saying that Rainbow could actually become a Princess like you?" asked Spike. "Quite possibly, Spike. But for now, I just need to get back to filling this thing up with magic." said Twilight as she put her magic back on the Element of Loyalty. Spike then asked Twilight one more question, "Hey Twi, I'm curious but how did the Princess of the Sky get incased in the Element of Loyalty?" Twilight shrugged and said, "I don't know. Celestia didn't tell me anything else." So Twilight got back to the Element of Loyalty and then the purple magic aura from Twilight's horn surrounding it changed to a cyan-like color. Twilight then got a big grin on her face and started to laugh. She then happily said to Spike as she let go of it, "It's done Spike. The new Element of Loyalty is finally completed! Once we give this to Rainbow, there's no way Chrysalis can take over Equestria now!" Spike got all excited too as he hugged Twilight all happy for her. "You did a great job on it Twilight! Thanks to you, Equestria will be saved once again!" Spike said with glee. The two just stared at the Element of Loyalty for a little while. Admiring the fact that Chrysalis will stopped once and for with ease. As they kept admiring the Element, something crashed in the castle. Twilight quickly jumped and turned her eyes off of the Element. She then asked, "Spike, did you hear that?" Spike was just continuously admiring the amulet and said mindlessly, "Sorry, can't hear you. This moment is just too beautiful right now." Twilight then shook Spike's head, breaking him out of his trance. "Twi, what was that for?" whined Spike. Twilight then notified, "There's something going on by the entrance to the castle, I need you to go and make sure if anything is there." The baby dragon whined once more, "Why can't you do it?" "Well, someone has to make sure this thing doesn't get stolen," said Twilight. "And besides, I think you admired this thing for a good amount of time." "Alright, fine." said Spike as he lazily started walking to the castle entrance. The young alicorn princess just sat there and looked at the Element of Loyalty. A little while later, Twilight said to herself, "Where's Spike? He's been gone for a little while. Hope he didn't fall asleep while he made his way to the entrance." All of a sudden, she heard footsteps coming from the hallways again. "Ooh, Spike's back." Twilight said to herself. Spike came back to the library and said to Twilight, "I checked by the entrance, but nothing seemed broken. Also, there was nopony outside of the castle either." Twilight then said to herself, "Huh. That's weird." The two then went back to the Element. Spike then started to really look at the Element like he was staring lifelessly into it. Twilight then got suspicious and asked her dragon friend, "Uhh, Spike? Are you okay, you've been really looking into that Element for quite sometime now." "Oh, Twilight, it's nothing." Spike said casually. Twilight then said, "Hey Spike, remember about those eight hours of sleep you need, well I think you should go back to bed now." Spike then whined, "Come on, just 5 more minutes!" "Spike, get to bed now." said Twilight as she grew more serious. Spike then angrily said to her, "NO!" He then quickly grabbed the Element and tried to run away with it. Twilight quickly used a spell that caused the library door to close. She then started to chase Spike around the library. She tried using her wings to get to Spike's position, but he would quickly evade it. Luckily, Twilight managed to get Spike enclosed in a corner. She angrily said to Spike, "Spike, give it back to me now!" Spike hissed at her. Twilight's rage increased as she said to the baby dragon, "That's it! If you won't give me the Element, I'll just have to take it from you on the count of 3." She then slowly started to count to 3 as she got closer to him. "1..." Twilight said as she started the count. Spike kept it out of a position where Twilight would grab it. She then continued with, "2...". And then, one second before she got to three, she noticed Spike's eyes were changing. They changed from a moderate pistachio to a blank moderate arctic blue. Twilight then got a shocked face then and then said, "You're not Spike!" She then charged her horn and blasted at the Spike impostor. When it hit the impostor, it quickly disappeared from existence, leaving only the Element of Loyalty. She went over there and picked up the Element. "Was that... a Changeling," she asked herself. "If that was a Changeling, then where's Spike?" She then suddenly heard a scream in the hallway. "TWILIGHT!!! HELP!!!" screamed Spike in the hallway. "Spike?" said Twilight as she quickly got herself out of the library with the Element in hand. When she got out of the library, she quickly ran through the hallways only to find Spike surrounded by many Changelings. She then yelled, "Spike!" The baby dragon saw Twilight and yelled back, "Twilight! Save me!" Twilight nodded quickly and blasted at some of the Changelings, making her way through to her assistant. When she got to her friend, he quickly hopped onto Twilight's back and the two tried to run for the entrance. Twilight pulled the handle on the door hard but couldn't get it open. "How's the door locked?!" said Twilight scared for her life. Spike tried breaking through the windows but wasn't able to do it. He then said, "The windows aren't breaking either, it's like they're made of metal or something!" The two then noticed that the windows were slowly changing into a metal substance. Spike then quickly got back on Twilight's back. The young alicorn then ran through the hallways again, trying to look for an open exit while shooting down Changelings along the way. As Twilight kept running down the hallway with Spike on her back, they kept noticing that more windows were becoming metalized. The Changelings got closer and closer, until Twilight found an open room. The two quickly went in there and Twilight locked the door. The two were in the throne room, where 6 chairs surrounded a table which had a crystalized diagram of Equestria. And in the back of the room was a mirror. Twilight got Spike off her back and the two panted. Spike then said, "I think we lost them." Silence rung around the room until a certain knocking came brewing from the door. "Any other statements, Captain Obvious?" asked Twilight. Spike then said to her, "Well, excuuuuse me, Princess!" The door kept banging. Twilight made sure that she had the Element of Loyalty in her hand. She then went to the map to make sure that no other location has no other sign of Changeling life. Luckily, most of the Changeling population was mostly in Ponyville, notifying the Changelings that were in the castle. Twilight then got to her chair and got a sad look on her face. Spike then went to comfort her. "Twilight, are you okay?" asked Spike all worried for her. Twilight gently replied with, "Yeah." The two had another moment of silence. "I just can't believe that there are more Changelings." said Twilight. But Spike then tried to lighten things up, "But Twi, you got the Element of Loyalty completed, all we have to do is give this thing to Rainbow Dash, she becomes the Princess of the Sky, and we'll be unstoppable." Twilight then replied, "How? We can't even get out of our own castle, and their magic is stronger than regular alicorn magic." Spike then said back, "Then what can we do then? There should at least be something?" The two then just sat down and thought of it as the door's banging got louder. Twilight then noticed the giant mirror in the back of the room and then she got an idea. "Spike! I just thought of something! Remember that mirror Celestia gave to me as a gift for the castle?" she asked her companion. Spike then replied, "Yeah." Twilight then said, "She said that it was some sort of portal to another world, that was just like Equestria, but different." Spike then scratched his head and asked, "Where are you going with this?" Twilight then quickly went to the back of her chair and got out her bag where she would put the Element of Loyalty in there. "What I meant by that world being like Equestria, but different, it could be like some sort of dimension or something." said Twilight as she kept packing her bag. Spike then said, "So that means there could be another Rainbow Dash?" Twilight then said, "There could be other versions of all of our friends, especially Celestia, Luna, and Cadence. This could be the only chance we ever get!" The banging on the door got louder as it managed to slightly open, revealing a Changeling eye. Spike then looked back at Twilight and grinned, "Twi. I'm your #1 assistant, dammit. I'm with you to the very end." He would then hug Twilight and the two would then enter the mirror and prepared themselves for the other world. Meanwhile, the door to the throne room would finally break down with the Changelings looking around for the Element of Loyalty. One of the Changelings would then say, "Hey! Where are those Equestrian scums?!" The leader followed and said, "Shut up! Chrysalis doesn't care if those two are down, we just need to find that Element of Harmony!" They kept looking around until they came upon the mirror portal that Twilight and Spike went through. One of them noticed it when it saw the ridges in the mirror moving. "Hey you buffons! Come over here!" said the Changeling. The leader Changeling came and said, "Never call the leader a buffon! What is it?" The Changeling showed them the portal in which the leader would poke its hoof into the portal. All of the other Changelings were amazed as the lead Changeling got an evil grin on its face and started chuckling. It then went to the Changeling that found the mirror and said to it, "Pupa, you actually did a good job this time! Sorry if I was ever mean to you." "Really?" asked Pupa. The leader then replied, "No, not really. Larvae!" The Changeling known as Larvae came to the leader's side and said, "What is it boss?" The leader then told Larvae, "Notify Queen Chrysalis immediately! Those two Equestriassholes went through this portal to another world, and I think we should go through it!" "That does sound like an interesting idea, Widow." said an eerie voice echoing through the throne room. From the shadows emerged a Changeling that was just like the others but was taller and had moderate harlequin eyes with dark grayish opal pupils. Along with a dark, wicked cerulean mane, and entered the Changeling's appearance with a brilliant green aura. The leader Widow, Larvae, and Pupa, as well as the other Changelings, bowed toward the being. "Ooh, Queen Chrysalis! You like that idea?!" said Pupa in a very excited voice. Chrysalis would then reply in a very satisfied voice, "I don't like it... I love it..." She would start to laugh evily and say, "Once that Element of Harmony is in my hooves, along with the others, I will finally rule Equestria, ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!" She would laugh hysterically along with the other Changelings. This is just the beginning of the story about a girl who became.. THE PRINCESS OF THE SKY... END PROLOGUE > Episode 1: Chapter 1 - The Basketball Game > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There was an intense atmosphere inside the gymnasium of Canterlot High School. Rainbow Dash was busy dribbling the basketball, passing it left and right to her fellow teammates. Their opponents were just as good as they were. The coaches and benchwarming teammates were screaming the hell out of their vocal chords. And all of the parents and students were cheering as crazy as they could. It was the last quarter with 30 seconds remaining on the timer. The score was Home-21 to Guest-27. As the game grew intense, Rainbow quickly passed the ball to her teammate Cloudchaser, who was dribbling to their side of the court. 10 seconds passed with 20 seconds left. She was ready to shoot at the hoop but someone was in her way blocking it. So Cloudchaser quicly tossed the ball to her teammate Flitter who had nobody in her way. She tried shooting at the hoop but someone would manage to block it and quickly steal the ball. They would try to get to the other side and try to make the shoot. The captain of the team would try to shoot at the hoop, but would unfortunately miss the shot, causing the ref to stop the current timer and allow the Guest team to perform a free throw. During that moment, 5 seconds passed with 15 seconds left. The players on both teams would go back to their team's benches. The players all huddled in a circle with the Rainbow's dad, their coach, telling them their game plan. "Alright everyone, there's exactly 15 seconds left on the clock. Due to the failed shooting attempt, the ref has allowed the opposing team to perform a free throw. This moment could be the only chance we have of winning a game once again." said Rainbow Blaze to his players, including his daughter. Misty Fly interrupted saying, "So, uh, what are we supposed to be like, you know, doing?" "Well I'm glad you asked, Misty. Here's how it's going to work, right after, the ball hits the hoop when the shooter misses, High Winds, you'll have to quickly grab the ball if bounces off the hoop and comes to your side, alright?" Blaze asked High Winds. "Got it." replied High Winds. Blaze then said, "However, Surprise, if the ball bounces of the hoop and comes to your side, you grab it, okay?" Surprise nodded her head and said, "Yep." "Okay, so when either one of you is going to dribble halfway through and when you reach that point, if High Winds has the ball, she'll pass it to Surprise. If Surprise has it however, your roles will be reversed. Got it?" Blaze asked the two. Both of them nodded their heads. Blaze then turned to Cloudchaser and Flitter and said, "Okay, after High Winds and Surprise did their part, if High Winds has the ball, she'll pass it to you Cloudchaser and you'll try to make the shot, but, if Surprise has the ball, she'll pass the ball to you Flitter and you'll try to make the shot, alright?" Cloudchaser then asked, "But what if one of us doesn't make the shot?" Rainbow Dash then interrupted her and said, "Duh, that's where I come in! If they manage to block the shot, they'll run to their side of the court, in which I'll steal the ball and take us down victory road!" "That's my girl!" Blaze said to his daughter. "Alright, are we got 15 seconds left, let's make it count!" Dash and the teammates nodded their heads and went back to the court. When they got back to court, Dash heard some of the students cheer her name as they knew that Rainbow will conclude the game once again with a team-winning shot. The team members would surround the other team, which the captain was getting ready for the first free-throw. She would shoot, but miss very slightly. After, a sudden boost of confidence rushed through Dash's veins. She knew that if the leader didn't make the second shot, their winning strategy would begin. The ref would then grab the ball and toss it back to the captain. She would then dribble it a few times and when she shot it, she once again missed. But this time, it managed to bounce off the hoop and come in the right direction where Surprise was. The timer would then resume Surprise would then grab the ball and start the plan Dash's dad had in mind. She dribbled the ball halfway down the court like what Dash's dad said and would quickly pass it to High Winds on the other side. The play lasted 5 seconds with 10 seconds left on the clock, with both the students and parents starting to count down the clock. High Winds would then dribble halfway to the hoop and when she got there, one of the opponent players was in her way, blocking her way to shoot for Cloudchaser. Luckily, she managed to shoot from the side and successfully pass it to Cloudchaser. 5 more seconds passed during that and the crowd started chanting from 5 to 1. Cloudchaser knew that this plan was going to work, so she tried to shoot but only for one of the players to block it. But unfortunately for them, the ball would fly towards the right direction where Rainbow Dash was at. She would then make an almost perfect shot at the hoop right when the crowd started chanting from 3. The ball kept spinning round and round. Dash and her teammates kept hoping this shot would make it as the crowd would finish the chant. "3...2...1..." chanted the crowd. And then, the ball would successfully fall through the hoop and would raise the home team's score from 21 to 28. And shortly after, the final buzzer rang. The home team crowd went crazy as they knew Rainbow would finish the game off proud once again. Rainbow's fellow teammates would start surrounding her as she went back to her team's benches. Dash's dad would congratulate her by patting her on the back and say, "Great job Dash, you made papa proud once again! That's my girl!" Rainbow would blush and say, "Thanks dad, if it weren't for your big head, we wouldn't have been here right now!" Followed by the other teammates laughing it out. Blaze would smile awkwardly and laugh as well as he gently punched his daughter in the arm. The team would then go and show sportsmanship to the opposing team as they formed two lines and walked past each other saying "good game". This is just the beginning of Dash's amazing story, but Dash's life will change the day after... END CHAPTER 1 > Episode 1: Chapter 2 - An Average Morning > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next day, Rainbow was sleeping on her bunk bed. But the bottom bunk was actually a desktop area which had Dash's computer. Dash was sleeping like a log until something started buzzing like hell when the clock hit 6:00 AM. Dash immediately woke up, only to find that it was her alarm clock doing that. She then tried to go back to sleep because she was still exhausted from the dramatic game last night. But it was Friday that day so Dash had something to care about. So she got out of bed slowly and climbed down the ladder to her alarm clock and pressed the snooze button. After she yawned, Dash then went over to turn on the lights and went over to a giant watered tank that had Dash's pet turtle, Tank. "G'morning Tank. Time for breakfast." Dash said to her turtle. Tank slowly looked up to her and smiled. Dash smiled back for a bit and grabbed Tank a leaf for breakfast. After that, she went over to her dresser and pulled out black shorts, a magenta skirt with white stripes, a white t-shirt with a red, yellow, and blue lightning bolt coming from a cloud, and a blue, short-sleeved outer shirt. She then took off her blue pajama pants and white pajama shirt with red sleeves which also had the lightning bolt from Dash's t-shirt. She would then put on her shorts, followed by the skirt. Before Dash put on her shirts, she went back to her dresser, grabbed her roll-on deodorant, and rolled it on her armpits. She would then take a whiff from her armpits and say to herself, "If you wanna be the best, you have to smell like the best." She would then put on her white t-shirt followed by her blue outer shirt. She then went back to her dresser and grabbed a pair of horizontally rainbow-colored socks, as well as a pair of red, yellow, and blue wrist bands. She'd put both on and would then go to the bathroom. When she looked at herself in the mirror, she noticed that her hair was messy, so she grabbed her hairbrush and brushed her hair until it was straight. She would then grab the toothbrush, water it, put on her toothpaste, and brush her teeth. After she rinsed her mouth with mouth wash, she went back to her room and grab her tall shoes that had white soles, trim, and laces, but was all covered with blue. She then went downstairs to the kitchen to see her dad preparing breakfast. "Morning dad." said Dash. Blaze looked back at his daughter and said, "Oh, morning Dash. I made your favorite this morning." He then handed Dash her breakfast which contained scrambled eggs with cheese on the top, as well as a glass of milk. Blaze grabbed his breakfast and joined his daughter at the table. Dash then said to her father, "I gotta say dad, your eggs never disappoint like always." Blaze replied, "Well anything for the one who once again led us to victory at yet another successful game. Plus it's Friday, so what more can you want?" Dash chuckled for a bit. Blaze then asked Dash, "So Dash, you wanna head over to my garage today after school? I could use a little help with some customers." "Only if I get paid this time around." Dash said with a smirk. "You will... if you behave unlike the other times." Blaze also said with a smug look. Dash then came back with, "It was only an accident. I accidentally dropped the motor on that guy's foot and he kept yelling at us in jibberish or some other language." "You know I was kidding right?" Blaze said back. Dash sarcastically laughed as she continued to eat her eggs, while Blaze chuckled for a bit. Dash managed to finish all the eggs off her plate and drank all of her milk. "So, do you and Fluttershy need a ride to school?" Blaze asked. "No, it's okay. Ever since the bus broke down, we found walking to school a lot better. Plus it's a lot shorter since we can go our own path." replied Dash. Blaze nodded his head. "So, it's Friday. Like you said. It's also the day you post a new Retro Games video to your Youtube channel. You gonna continue The Legend of Zelda today?" Dash asked. "Yeah, I was gonna get to the fourth dungeon today. Gonna try and challenge Gleeok again. A rematch 30 years in the making." said Blaze. "Cool. Anyways, I'm gonna go wash up." Dash said as she went to the bathroom with an empty plate and glass. Blaze sighed as he finished his breakfast and took the plates and glasses to the sink. Afterward, he heard a knocking at the front door. He opened it and it was Dash's friend Fluttershy. "Hi, Dash's dad." she said in a kind-hearted and timid tone. "Is Dash here? We need to get to school early." "Oh hi Fluttershy. Yep, Dash is washing up after breakfast. Why don't you come in for a bit?" Blaze asked her. Fluttershy nodded her head and came in. Blaze then said to Rainbow who was in the bathroom, "Fluttershy's here." "Okay." Dash replied. She came out of the bathroom after washing her hands and went to her friend and gave her friend a gentle high-five. "Hey Fluttershy." said Dash. "Hey Dashie. You ready to go?" Fluttershy asked. Dash nodded her head and went to go get her backpack. She would then go by her dad and give him a fist bump. She would hug him and say, "Bye dad." "Bye, Dashie." he replied as he'd kiss her on the cheek, only for Dash to get a bit embarrassed with Fluttershy giggling a bit. "You have a good day at school." He said to her. Dash nodded one last time. Dash and Fluttershy then left the house and started walking their way to school. 10 minutes passed since Dash and Fluttershy started walking to school and were 5 minutes away there. The two didn't talk to each other much on their way to school. The reason being, that even though Rainbow Dash was her best friend, Fluttershy still acted really shy and didn't know what to say. But Fluttershy then decided to man up and start talking to Dash. "So...Dashie?" she said in a shy tone. Dash noticed this and replied, "What's wrong Fluttershy?" "Oh nothing... Um...ooh! I heard you once again led us to victory again last night. What was the final score?" Fluttershy asked eagerly in a timid tone. "28 to 27. It was a pretty close game, but we managed to come out on top in the end." replied Dash. "That's great to hear. So anyways... Um...what else to say...um, oh yeah. I heard that we might get a new student today!" said Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash then got an 'ugh' look on her face and said, "What? We're getting another student this semester? What grade is he or she gonna be in?" "From what I hear, she's a junior." said Fluttershy. Rainbow's 'ugh' face got worst and she said, "She's gonna be in our class? Well that could possible add yet another new weird kid to my list of weirdies." Fluttershy quickly got serious and said quickly, "RAINBOW DASH!" And she would punch her hard in the arm. "Ow! Fluttershy, for a shy girl, you do know how to hurt!" Dash said to her in an angry tone. "Oh dear! I'm so sorry, here lemme take of it." said Fluttershy in her caring tone. She then kissed her hand and put it on Dash's arm. "Feeling better?" she asked dearly. "It's nothing Fluttershy. But I did say COULD. Not would, I'm just predicting it." Dash replied to her shy friend. "Dash, I'm sure it's the new student is gonna be alright." said Fluttershy. "Let's just hope on it." Dash replied. The two would then make it to the school doors, they were 15 minutes early before the first bell. The two would go in and go by their lockers. Putting their stuff in, grabbing their school books and getting to their first class. This was pretty much the start of the day that'd change Dash's life forever, and it all started with the new student. END CHAPTER 2 > Episode 1: Chapter 3 - The New Student > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first class in Dash's schedule was English with Miss Cheerilee. As Dash entered the classroom, she saw many other students sitting in their desks. They were either finishing up any homework by the last minute, talking to their friends, or just reading a book. Some of the students in the class were actually from Dash's basketball team. The only two from Dash's team that there were in there was Cloudchaser and Flitter. They were talking to each other. Dash went to her desk which was in the 5th row and 2nd column which was close to the classroom's entrance. Fluttershy sat right next to her on the left because not only was Fluttershy her longtime childhood friend, but Cheerilee allowed Fluttershy to sit by Dash because Dashie wasn't very good with English. She knew how to write a good story, but some grammar wasn't her thing. And since Fluttershy had great chemistry with Dash and was also one of her best students. So Dashie, Fluttershy, and the other students waited in their seats until Miss Cheerilee came into the room. She said to her students, "Good morning everyone." Most of the students repeated the phrase to Miss Cheerilee or waved their hand to her, while some just said nothing at all. Dash was one of the people who waved her hand to her. Cheerilee then said, "Alright, before you get out your homework from last night, Principal Celestia will be visiting us today for an announcement." Most of the students sighed within the classroom. Dash wondered what news Celestia was going to have for the class today. She then asked Fluttershy, "I wonder if she's going to talk about my other epic win from last night's game?" Fluttershy rolled her eyes and replied, "Maybe it could be about the new student, I guess." "Fluttershy, there are tons of other classes with mainly juniors in them. I'm pretty sure it might be my thing." Dash replied. "Miss Dash. Quiet please." Cheerilee said to Rainbow. Dash apologized and the room remained silent for 2 minutes after the 1st period bell rang. There was then a knocking at the door. Cheerilee went over and answered it. It was Principal Celestia. "Oh, Mrs. Celestia, we were just waiting for you." "Sorry I'm late." replied Celestia. She then went to the front of the room and Cheerilee went to her desk. "Alright, I have an announcement for this class. Today, you will be getting a new student here today." Most of the classroom sighed once again, even Dashie because she was expecting her to talk about their victory once again. Fluttershy quietly giggled at Dash who rolled her eyes at her. Cheerilee, who was getting annoyed with the class' constant complaining urged them to be quiet. "Quiet everyone." she said to her class. "It's alright, Miss Cheerilee, I got this." Celestia told her. She then continued to the class, "Now I expect each and every one of you to treat her just like you do your other friends." She then went to the door and said, "You can come in now." Out from there came a girl with pale, light grayish mulberry skin, with moderate sapphire blue hair with moderate violet and brilliant rose streaks, and moderate violet eyes. Celestia then told her, "You can place your books over there." Celestia pointed to over the seat in front of Dash and the new girl put her books there. Celestia then said, "Class, this is our new student, Twilight Sparkle. She's an exchange student from... uh, where are you from?" Twilight then replied, "I don't really like to talk about it." Most of the classroom chuckled at her, including Rainbow. Fluttershy then elbowed Dash gently at her arm, causing her to stop. Celestia then said, "Now, I want all of you to treat Twilight's first day, as if it were the best day of her life." She then smiled toward Twilight, whoo smiled back. "Now, if you need anything Twilight, my door is always open." she said as she left the room. Twilight then said in front of the class, "Uh, hi everyone." Cheerilee then got from her chair and asked, "So Twilight? Is there a little bit of info you'd like to share about yourself?" Twilight got really nervous and said, "Well, uh... I'm a pretty smart alicorn, I MEAN, pretty smart person!" She then got an embarrassed look on her face. Most of the class tried to hold back on laughing, but Dash didn't do anything. A thought then rushed through Dash's brain, Why on earth are they doing that?! Sure I was chuckling a bit too, but that was just to give her a hard time! Just because she messes up one word in a sentence by accident, doesn't mean you have the right to treat her that way! She then clenched her fist, feeling like as if she were ready to punch one of the people who were laughing at her. Cheerilee then got angry with her students, "That's enough! I don't want to give you all a detention! Celestia said to treat her as if this were the best day of her life! Now please, be quiet!" The class immediately went quiet. Cheerilee then got all sweet to Twilight and said, "It's okay Twilight. You don't have to tell us anything more about yourself. We know that you're nervous, if you want, you can go back to your seat, okay?" Twilight nodded and headed to her seat in front of Dash. Twilight then looked back at Dash for quite a while. Dash then asked her, "What?" Twilight said back, "You must be Rainbow Dash, right?" "Yeah? Why are you staring at me? And how do you know my name?" asked Dash. Twilight stayed silent for a few seconds. Dash then said, "Hey, you gonna say something or what?" Fluttershy then said to Dash, "Rainbow. Don't be rude, she's probably thinking about." "No, it's alright. I know her name because I saw a picture of you with the girl's basketball team in the hallway." Twilight said. Dash then immediately got a cocky smile on her face. Dash then said, "Well, I am the best player on our team. Like last night, I once again led our team to victory in a close game of basketball." Cheerilee interrupted, "Yes. And I think a good time we'd like to talk about your victory would be after class." "Ooh. Sorry." Dash said embarrassingly as some of the class chuckled at her. Then a thought rushed through Twilight's brain then, Hmm, could this be the Rainbow Dash I'm looking for? She does act a lot like the Rainbow Dash of my world, but could she also have the loyalty to be The Princess of the Sky? "But yeah, I should tell you more about myself sometime. My life is pretty awesome." Dash said to her quietly. "I'm sure it is." Twilight said with a smile. "Yeah. But, could you please stop staring at me from now on, you sort of freak me out. Just sayin'." Dash replied. Twilight nodded. END CHAPTER 3 > Episode 1: Chapter 4 - The Bully > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- So after English class, Rainbow and Fluttershy were heading off to their US History class. On their way there, Rainbow said something to Fluttershy. "Fluttershy, I have something to ask you." "What is it Rainbow? Does it have anything to do with the new student by any chance?" asked Fluttershy. "Well, sort of. Remember when I said that I think that every new student that we get is supposed to be weird?" Dashie asked her shy friend. Fluttershy sighed and replied, "Rainbow. Just because we've been best friends doesn't mean that I also think the new student is weird. All she did was accidentally call herself an alicorn. That's all." Rainbow then said, "I know, I know. I'm not stupid." "I didn't call you stupid, but if I did mean to, I'm very, very sorry." said Fluttershy in her overprotective ways. "It's nothing. I know you'd never call me that. You're like the most awesomely nicest person I've ever met," said Dash. Fluttershy blushed and smiled a bit at Dash. "But seriously. At that certain part that you mention back about Twilight accidentally called herself an alicorn and everybody laughed at her, this weird thought rushed through my head. Like, she was a close friend of mine or something and I wanted to violently hurt all of the students who were laughing at her." "Oooh. So I take it that you really like her, right?" Fluttershy asked in a happy tone. "Look, just because I get the feeling of defending for her, doesn't mean I like her. It's just that the thought kept rushing through me especially when Twilight talked to me. She acted like that she knew me like the back of her hand. She was even looking back at me during other times at class after that." Dash told Fluttershy. Fluttershy then told her rainbow-haired friend, "Well maybe that making new friends easily is another special talent of hers apart from her smarts." Rainbow replied with, "You know. Maybe I should be friends with her sometime." Fluttershy nodded her head with a sweet smile. "Rainbow, I never seen act like this before. A new student shows up and instead of considering him or her weird, you decide to be friends anyway. I think that's the right thing to do." Fluttershy kindly said. Rainbow said, "Uhh, yeah. What you said." Fluttershy and Dashie just smiled at each other for a bit while heading to class. As they headed down to their next class, they heard a clash on the lockers. Rainbow turned her head to see her friend, Bulk Biceps being held against a wall against a slightly shorter guy with light grayish brown skin, with light amberish gray hair, and moderate azure eyes. "Hey man! What's this all about?!" asked Bulk Biceps scared for his life. The bully then said to him, "C'mon big guy, fight me! Use your muscles! That's the reason why you always worked out in the gym right?" Bulk Biceps then nervously, "Uhhh, no. I was just really fat and I needed to lose weight." The bully then busted out of laughter. "Oh, man! You must be the strongest wimp I ever met!" the bully said as he continued to laugh. A serious Rainbow Dash with a nervous looking Flutter got his attention. "Hey!" yelled Rainbow. The bully heard Rainbow and turned to the cyan-skinned teenager. "Well, well, well. If it isn't Rainbow Dash... or should I say, Rainbow CRASH!" the bully said with laughter. Rainbow comically mocked him, "Well, well, well. If it isn't Dumb-Bell.. or should I say, Dumb-ASS!" Bulk Biceps chuckled at Dumb-Bell for a little bit until Dumb-Bell looked back at him, with Bulk continuing his scared look. He quickly escaped Dumb-Bell's grab and got beside Fluttershy, who comforted him. "Oooh! I'm so scared of such cruel language! I hope my mommy didn't hear that! HAHAHA!" Dumb-Bell said with a sarcastic tone. Fluttershy then shyly asked, "Uh, excuse me? But, um, why were you being mean to Bulk Biceps?" Dumb-Bell then got in Fluttershy's face, "NONE OF YOUR BUISNESS! Don't make me put you as my next patient! Or maybe your animals could be better substitutes...hehe." Fluttershy gasped and then started to cry quietly. Rainbow quickly came to comfort her. Dash angirly yelled, "That's it! You crossed the line..." Shen then took off her outer shirt and skirt and threw them to the side. She then cracked her knuckles as one of the hands got into the "come here" movement. As he saw this, Dumb-Bell got an evil grin on his face and took of his black sweatshirt. As he cracked his knuckles, he said, "Oh I'm going to enjoy kicking your butt first. OOPS! Sorry, shouldn't say that in front of a girl, they always get offended. Oh, I almost forgot! And one more thing, if I injure you, I'll send you flowers. Poisonous flowers to be exact." "Oh, I almost forgot!" Dash said while mocking Dumb-Bell once again. "I'm not a girl. I'm just someone who's gonna make you pay for being a jerk." said Dash. A bunch of students then noticed what was supposed to be a fight between Rainbow Dash and Dumb-Bell. They all started surrounding the two as Fluttershy and Bulk Biceps went into the crowd. Fluttershy got extremely worried, thinking that Rainbow might get hurt badly in this fight. Dumb-Bell quickly threw a punch at Dash, but the second before the punch hit Dash's face, she quickly dodged it. This surprised the crowd since they never saw Dash in a one-on-one fight with a bully before. Dumb-Bell tried punching her again, but dodged once again. Dumb-Bell quickly got frustrated and he kept trying to punch her, but Dash would dodge. As he kept trying hardly to hurt his opponent, Dash said in her cocky tone, "C'mon! I thought you were gonna hurt me!" The crowd would slowly start cheering for Dash. One of the students, Micro Chips, would say to his friend, Sandalwood, "Dang! No wonder she won the game so quickly last night! Those reflexes are magnificent!" "Uh-huh!" said Sandalwood as the two kept cheering to Dash. Rainbow kept dodging Dumb-Bell's punches and shortly get distracted by the crowd's cheering as Dumb-Bell took a short breather. As Dash kept admiring her "adoring fans", Dumb-Bell would prepare a powered-up punch. This punch was quickly coming and was noticed by a still-worried Fluttershy. Fluttershy then yelled, "DASH! LOOK OUT!" Dash got Fluttershy's message and managed to catch Dumb-Bell's punch. Dumb-Bell was shocked, as Dash would use a feat of strength and turn Dumb-Bell's punch back to him. Dash then said to her pink-haired friend, "You might want to step away." Dash would then perform an Irish Whip to Dumb-Bell and as the bully came running through, the students that was in his incoming way, including Fluttershy and Bulk Biceps, stepped out of his way. Dumb-Bell managed to stop himself from crashing into more lockers. Dumb-Bell quickly turned back to Dash, scared for his life and saw Dash doing the "come here" hand signal to him. He quickly ran off away from Dash and the students. The students applauded with glee. "And your winner, RAINBOW DASH!!!" said Snips with a wrestling announcer tone. The students cheered for Dash as she kept admiring them. Bulk Biceps would stretch out his biceps and scream in a manly tone, "YEEEAAAHH!" He tried to fist bump a close-by friend by he was too scared of what his strength would be like. Bulk smiled embarrassingly and gave his friend a gently handshake instead. Fluttershy quickly ran to Rainbow and hugged her with tears in her eyes. Fluttershy then angirly said to her, "YOU HAD ME WORRIED RAINBOW DASH! YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN YOURSELF INTO TROUBLE!" "Pfft. Relax Fluttershy! What could possibly go wrong?" Dash said with tons of confidence. As she looked at her fans, her confidence all of sudden stopped when she saw two people standing at the end of a hallway. The students suddenly stopped cheering and turned to utter silence when they saw the two also. The people were Dumb-Bell with an angry look on his face pointing at Rainbow Dash, and the other was Principal Celestia who had a serious look on her face, with her arms crossed and one of her feet tapping on the floor. Celestia then said to all the students in the hallway, "I'm very disappointed with all of you. First, some of you laugh at our new student, and now, one of you gets into a fight? Unacceptable." She then looked at Rainbow who had an extremely worried look on her face. "Miss Dash. I'm sure you'd like to come with me to my office with Dumb-Bell here. While all of you head straight back to class." The students all awed knowing the fact that the fun was over and started heading straight back to class. Fluttershy came back to Dash with her skirt and outer shirt and gently said to her, "I'm sorry, Dash. I just wanted to help." "It's not your fault, it's that bully's fault." Dash said as she angirly looked at Dumb-Bell. "Let's go Miss Dash." Celestia said more seriously. Dash then started walking with Celestia and Dumb-Bell with tears in her eyes, knowing that her punishment could be the worst one of her life. Celestia sighed as she sat at her desk with Rainbow and Dumb-Bell standing in front of her. She sighed and said to them, "I can't believe this. You're treating your relationship as if it were a rivalry in the WWF." Dash said, "Uh, it's now called WWE, Principal Celest-" "Quiet please, Ms. Dash." said Celestia as she interrupted Dash. "This is the third fight you've had between each other this year so far. You've had one in the first and second, so this is the third strike." "But Principal Celestia! Dumb-Bell was being mean to Bulk Biceps and Fluttershy!" whined Rainbow Dash. "Hey, last time I checked you almost Irish Whipped me into the lockers and that could've ruined my beautiful mug!' said Dumb-Bell. Dash came back with, "You almost punched me in the face, meaning that you could've also ruined MY beautiful mug! Besides you could've deserved it anyway!" Dumb-Bell came back with, "If you didn't interfere with my business, we wouldn't be in this mess!" "If you weren't such a jerk, THEN we wouldn't be in this mess!" yelled Dash. "QUIET. BOTH OF YOU." said Celestia. The two immediately became quiet. She then facepalmed herself and said, "I don't care, what you two did today was just unacceptable like all the others. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to call both your parents and give you after-school detentions on Monday." Both Dash and Dumb-Bell's jaws dropped and Dash said, "But I have this huge basketball game on that day after school and my dad's gonna get really pissed at me if I don't show up for that!" "And I don't appreciate your use of language there Ms. Dash. I'm sorry, really I am. But the way you've been acting this year with your constant arguing and fights in hallways, I just can't accept that any longer." replied Celestia as she picked up her phone. She would then hear a knock on her door. "Please, come in." Fluttershy came in saying, "Um, hi Principal Celestia." "Ms. Fluttershy. What are you doing out of class. Were you at least excused?" asked Celestia. "Yes. I just came to tell you that Rainbow was telling the truth." said Fluttershy desperately. "Me and her were heading to History class until we found that bully being mean to Bulk Biceps. Dash tried to make him stop by just barging in." she said as she looked at Dash in a serious look. Dash got an embarrassed look on her face. "I tried to help out the nice way by just asking why he was doing that, but he yelled at me and even threatened to hurt my animals." Celestia then got suspicious and asked Dumb-Bell, "Is that true?" Dumb-Bell sighed and said, "Alright, you got me," He then got to Celestia's desk and said, "Please, Principal Celestia! Don't do this to me, things have been really hard for me since my parents started fighting. It caused me to unleash my pain on others, including Dash. And if you call them, they might start fighting again! Just don't do this to me!" Celestia looked at both Dash and Dumb-Bell for a moment and said to the latter, "Alright. This is your last chance Mr. Bell. I know you don't want this, but life's not fair for all of us. Just don't argue with Dash again alright?" Dumb-Bell nodded his head. "And you Ms. Dash, I believe from a student's eye. You were able to stand up for your friends, and that's what makes me happy for you. Plus, I do have to give you credit for an excellent basketball game last night." said Celestia. Dash blushed. "Alright, both of you, I won't call your parents and I won't give you detentions." Dash sighed with relief and said, "Oh, thank you Principal Celestia." "However, I'm still going to have to give you two a punishment whatsoever." said Celestia. Dash and Dumb-Bell's stress refilled. Celestia then picked up her phone and called the cooking classroom. "Sorry to interrupt, Mrs. Smith. Can I borrow Twilight for a moment?... Okay. Thank you." she said as she hung up her phone. "Uh, why did you call the cooking classroom?" asked Dash. "Dash, as your punishment, you and Fluttershy will give a tour of the school to our new student, Twilight Sparkle." replied Celestia. Dash immediately sighed in a bored tone, while Fluttershy got all happy. "Whoop-de-freakin-doo." said Dash sarcastically. "Rainbow! This could be your chance of making Twilight your new friend!" Fluttershy whispered to her excitedly. Rainbow replied, "Fluttershy, just because we're gonna give the new kid a tour of the school, doesn't mean I'm gonna make her my new friend." Fluttershy then gave Dash the cutest sad puppy-dog eyes she could ever think of. Dash saw them for a moment and felt a little bad for Fluttershy. She sighed and then said, "Fine...I'll try and make friends with her..." Fluttershy happily yelled, "YAY! Whoops!" She would get a little bit embarrassed because of her breaking character and then say in her shy and timid way, "Yay." She would then hug Dash as the rainbow-head got an unamused look on her face. END CHAPTER 4 > Episode 1: Chapter 5 - A Friendship is Born > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were taking Twilight for a tour of the school as part of Rainbow's punishment. Dashie still had that grump face while Fluttershy was happily guiding Twilight through the school. Dash pretty much acted bored the entire time, wanting not to do this, but had to since it was her punishment by Principal Celestia, but also didn't want to upset Fluttershy if she broke her promise with her childhood friend. "So, Twilight you already know that this is our English room." said Fluttershy as she pointed to Ms. Cheerilee's room. Twilight nodded. Fluttershy looked back at Rainbow Dash who was just staring into nothingness with her grump look. "Uh, Rainbow," Fluttershy asked Rainbow Dash. "I could use a little help here, please?" Rainbow sighed and said, "And over there is the science lab," as she pointed over the the science room. "And here we got the History class," Dash continued in her bored tone. "And whatever." Twilight then asked, "Uh, Rainbow, are you alright?" "Are you kidding me? I'm having the time of my life!" Dash said sarcastically. Fluttershy giggled and whispered to Twilight, "She's still not so hyped about you coming here, but she actually wants you to be her friend. Maybe even best friend." "FLUTTERSHY!" Dash embarrassingly yelled at Fluttershy. "That's not true, I just want to get out of this punishment and continue with my life." Dash continued. "Rainbow, you don't have to be nervous to make a new friend." replied Fluttershy seeing the nervous look in Dash's eyes. Rainbow whined to her friend, "No! I just don't wanna talk to her, alright?!" Fluttershy then said back to Rainbow, "Wow, I've never seen you this shy before, and they call me the shyest girl in school." "Fluttershy, why are you acting like this to me? I just got out of a huge fight and now you're causing more stress to grow inside of me, alright?!" replied Dash who started to get upset. Fluttershy sighed and palmed her face. Twilight then comforted Fluttershy and said, "It's okay Fluttershy, I can take of this." She then turned to an upset Rainbow and said to her, "Hey Rainbow, I heard of what happened today." "It's obvious because I wouldn't be here talking to you if I didn't get into that fight." said Dash in her depressed tone. "Yeah, and to be honest, I actually did want you to do that, sort of." replied Twilight. Dash quickly got surprised. She then said, "Wait, you did?" Twilight replied, "I said 'sort of'. I wanted you to do it because that guy looked like such a jerk and he probably deserved what you gave him, but I didn't want you to do it because, as many say 'fighting isn't the answer to your problems'." Fluttershy then said, "Those are some great words of wisdom, Twi." Twilight blushed. Fluttershy then said to Rainbow, "Did you get that Rainbow?" Rainbow stayed silent with a bored and depressed look on her face. Fluttershy then sighed again. "Well, don't you at least have any feelings for this Dumb-Bell? There must have been some light on your relationship." Twilight asked Rainbow. Rainbow shook her head and said, "Nope. Dumb-Bell's been a jerk since birth." Fluttershy immediately got suspicious and said, "Rainbow, I know you're lying." "How do you know Fluttershy?" Rainbow asked her friend. Fluttershy stayed silent. All of a sudden, another crazy thought rushed through Dash's brain, She's right. I am lying. There was a time when I treated Dumb-Bell like if he were my brother, the best brother I could ever ask for. Rainbow sighed and stressfully took a deep breath. "Alright, you got me. We were friends for a while. Sure, he did tease me a few times, but that's what best friends do. I guess the time he became a jerk was when his parents started fighting." "I guess so too, that's what he said in the office, and he didn't look like he was kidding either." said Fluttershy. "That or he's just a really good actor and just came up with such a dumb excuse." said Rainbow, only to be elbowed by Twilight. "Ow! Damn, another strong arm." Twilight then said, "Sorry, I just don't know my own strength." Rainbow smiled at her and chuckled a bit. "So, I guess you do have a little soft side for him right, why don't you turn him back to the Dumb-Bell you once called 'best friend'." Twilight said to Rainbow. Rainbow then said, "Yeah, I guess you're right. Maybe I would like to see my old friend back for a while. You know Twilight, for a new kid, you give out some pretty good advice." Twilight blushed at Rainbow as Dash smiled back at her. "But I was wondering, why did you accidentally call yourself an alicorn back at English class?" "Rainbow Dash!" said Fluttershy in a upset tone. "It's okay, Fluttershy. That always happened to me on my first day of a new school." said Twilight with an embarrassed smile. Fluttershy then said, "It's alright, we're all nervous on the first day. I'm nervous almost everyday." "You're not nervous now." said Twilight with a confused look on her face. All of a sudden a rolling sound went in the hallway. Fluttershy shrieked and quickly hid behind Rainbow Dash all scared with he eyes covered. Rainbow went to look and see what was coming in the hallway. "Fluttershy," said Rainbow in a stressed out tone. "It's the janitor." Fluttershy opened one of her eyes and it was janitor pushing a recycling bin through the hallway. Fluttershy said, "Oh." and embarrassingly squeed. She then continued to Twilight, "But going back to what Rainbow said, she actually told me before the fight that she actually didn't like what the other students did to you in class and actually felt like standing up for you." "FLUTTERSHY!!!" said Rainbow in an upset tone. She was silent for a moment. Dash sighed and said, "I was going to say that. Don't worry." Fluttershy smiled kindly at Dash. "So, you pretty much have a knack for being loyal, don't you?" Twilight asked Rainbow. Rainbow got all cocky again and said, "Hey, it's in my blood. I can't just leave my friends there when they're being treated by a jerk. Because if anyone's gonna mess with my friends, they'll have to deal with me first! Because who's the most awesome person in the world, RAINBOW DASH! But, I consider myself 20% cooler than that." Fluttershy comically rolled her eyes while Twilight chuckled for a bit. "I guess that attitude was how you won the game so close last night, huh?" asked Twilight. "Yeah, I take after my dad, the coach." Rainbow said mentioning her father. Dash then got all excited and asked Twilight, "Hey! You got 8th hour free time?" Twilight nodded her head. "GREAT! I can tell you a lot more about myself then!" Dash said excitedly. Fluttershy gently patted Rainbow on the back and said, "Relax, Rainbow." She then gasped and got all excited too and asked her, "Does that mean you're going to accept Twilight as a friend?" "I guess my answer is going to be... 'yes'." replied Rainbow with a satisfied look on her face. Fluttershy hugged Rainbow. "Well I did promise that I'd try and make friends with her." Fluttershy then gently yelled, "Yay." Twilight then thought to herself as she saw the two, I guess this world's Rainbow Dash is just like the Rainbow Dash of my world. Sure, she acts a bit too cocky like my Rainbow Dash, but she's just as loyal as her too. I guess she can be the one to bear the powers of The Princess of the Sky. Wait'll Spike hears this!... I hope. She then looked at the Element of Loyalty she had in her pocket and smiled, knowing that things might go as planned. Meanwhile, outside of the school, Principal Celestia made Dumb-Bell pick up litter surrounding the parking lot. Dumb-Bell so far picked up multiple soda cans and gum wrappers that were left on the lot. He thought to himself with anger, I can't believe Celestia is making me pick up all this trash, and it's all thanks to Rainbow Crash! God dammit, she should be the one doing this, that way I can call her 'Rainbow TRASH"! He chuckled as thought up of that idea. But then, he suddenly got all depressed and thought to himself again, But to be honest, I really do deserve it. I mean, that pink-haired friend of Crash does seem pretty nice. D'OH! WHAT AM I THINKING?! I'm not going soft here, Dumb-Bell! But what would mom think if I told her what I said to her, that I'd hurt her animals. She's probably not be so happy, in fact she acts a lot like her. But why do I care about her, she's probably arguing with dad like always now. He then stopped picking up trash for a moment. He continued to think to himself, Maybe. Just maybe, I can change. I think it's time that I became friends again with Crash- I MEAN... Dash. Wait, what am I thinking?! Why am I all of a sudden becoming all cuddly?! She almost ruined my beautiful face! But, she was standing up for her friends. And one of my punches could've ruined her beautiful face. Besides, she did change a lot since our glory days in elementary school. She got more mature and more sexy, if I do say so myself. He then continued to think about Dash's beautiful body and even pictured it in a bikini which gave him a big smile on his face. He then got all angry again and screamed with rage. He then yelled to himself, "STUPID! STUPID! WHY WOULD I THINK THAT?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME TODAY?!" as he smacked himself in the face. "I still hate Rainbow Crash! If it weren't for her friends, she would've gotten that detention!" He then prepared for one more angry yell, but got the feeling not to do it. "Just relax, DB. Just focus on cleaning up this garbage and I can forget all this ever happened." he said calmly. He would then go to the statue in front of the school, which only had a few soda bottles. Before he even got to the first bottle, he noticed one of the sides of the statue started to move. The statue created ridges like when a rock was dropped in the water. Dumb-Bell got really suspicious and tempted to get closer. His curiosity got the best of him when all of a sudden, three creatures emerge from it. The walked in on all fours and had an equine-like appearance. They had sea greenish black skin with fangs, jagged ears, bent horns, and insect-like wings, along with webbed manes and tails. They had blue reflection-less eyes and holes in their legs. These creatures... are the Changelings. The center changeling looked like a regular Changeling but was more masculine in appearance. The one on his left was slim and taller than the leader, while the one on his right was smaller and a bit more chubby. The leader said, "So... this must be where those Equestriassholes went." Dumb-Bell noticed them with fear, but immediately tried to speak with them. "H-hey! Heh-hehe. Y-you guys look like you're off to a d-dork convention! Hehe?" he said trying to keep his bully fire alive but was still terrified by the creatures. "Wow. That has to be the worst insult I've ever gotten." said the leader dissatisfied. The Changeling on the leader's right said, "I think he was targeting more to you boss." This angered the leader Changeling and smacked the fellow Changeling in the face and said, "Shut up Pupa! The way I think of it, he was actually insulting you because the worst henchmen deserve the worst insult." The Changeling on his left said, "Haha, you said it Widow! But can we save the arguing for later and get that Element of Harmony for Chrysalis?" Widow replied and said, "Sorry, Larvae. You're right, thanks for reminding me." Dumb-Bell then continued nervously, "Um? I don't know what you are and what you're after. So, could you please tell me what's going on here? Uh, fear me?" The three Changelings busted out with laughter in a hysterical way. Widow then said, "Then allow me to explain, dirty monkey! We are the Changelings, creatures with the ability to change our appearance and loyal servants to the beautiful Queen Chrysalis! My name is Widow, I am the queen's loyal assistant. And these two are my henchmen, the one on my left is Larvae, one of the most skilled warriors we've had. The one on my right, we don't talk about him." "My name is Pupa! I'm the brains of the operation!" said Pupa excitedly. "Sure, he's a bit of a pain, but don't let his appearance fool you!" said Larvae. Dumb-Bell, scared for his life, then said, "What are you doing here then?" "We're here because one of the Elements of Harmony is in this world, and by Pupa's calculations, he's detected the Element of Loyalty here. So we're going to disguise ourselves as your kind and steal the Element of Loyalty. And if it's not there... we'll destroy it until it gives us what we desire." explained Widow. "Look, I don't know what this Element of Loyalty is, but I've had a pretty rough day so far. So I won't let you punks do this to my school!" said Dumb-Bell in a bold tone. Widow then yelled saracstically, "OH NO! We're so scared! Somebody notify Chrysalis right away! This being could be more stronger than her! HAHAHAHA! Go ahead, try and stop us..." The three Changelings stood there with evil grins on their faces. Dumb-Bell then thought to himself, Well, I may not have beaten up Dash, but taking down these dipwads will be a lot better. He then started running towards Widow planning on punching the leader. The moment he punched the Changeling's dark skin though, he immediately started screaming in pain, "OWWWW!" He then fell to all knees comforting his fist only to see a huge scarred spot on it. "Wait, I forgot! Our skin is untouchable, he had me worried there!" said Widow with sarcastic relief. He then used his magic to pick up Dumb-Bell who was struggling to get out. Dumb-Bell screamed, "Hey! Let me down your jerks!" Larvae then replied, "Come on! You're a bully right, try and fight your way out!' He then laughed. Dumb-Bell continued to struggle his way out. "HELP! ANYONE! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!" screamed Dumb-Bell who was now terrified. "Pupa, you have the seeds?" Widow asked the little Changeling. Pupa replied with a grin on his face, "Never left home without them." He then went to the grass nearby and dug a hole. He then took a seed out of a mysterious bag he had on his side. He put the seed in the hole and buried the seed back up with the dirt. Only five seconds later, a giant, gooey-like, clear capsule emerged from the ground. It had a mysterious black sphere inside of it. "Larvae, will you do the honors?" asked Widow. Larvae then performed a mysterious spell that started to cause the panicking Dumb-Bell to slowly become unconscious. Widow would then put the asleep Dumb-Bell inside of it. Widow then asked Pupa, "Pupa, you know how to work this thing right?" "I always do boss." replied Pupa. He then performed a spell that caused the black sphere in the capsule to start surrounding the sleeping bully. After it completely went around Dumb-Bell, it emerged from the capsule and melted into a gooey black substance that moved onto the concrete in front of the statue. It stopped moving for a few moments. All of a sudden it started to grow, and grow, and grow until it was the size of a regular human. It then started to take form. The substance then started to become a knight-like being with spiked armor and a horned helmet. Emerging from its head were a pair of eyes that were just like the Changeling's. It then grew a mouth that had fangs like its creators and once it officially formed, it screamed a horrific, yet mighty roar. Widow gazed at the being and said, "It's beautiful. If there's one thing I like about you Pupa, it has to be the monsters that you make." Pupa blushed. "D'oh boss. That's the nicest thing you ever said to me." said Pupa. The knight being then bowed before Widow. "I am Knightling. I serve before the mighty Queen Chrysalis." said the mighty being. Widow smiled evily and said, "Then I demand you to go into that building and bring me the Element of Loyalty! And while you're at it, take down a couple dirty monkeys for me, we could use the help we can get." Knightling put its sword back in the sheath on its side. The Changeling horn on its head then started to glow and Knightling started to change. He became a light grayish brown-skinned teenager with light amberish gray hair and moderate azure eyes. He was perfectly disguising himself as Dumb-Bell. He then told Widow in his Dumb-Bell's voice, "As you wish... master..." END CHAPTER 5 > Episode 1: Chapter 6 - The Princess Awakens > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few hours after Rainbow and Fluttershy gave Twilight the tour of the school, it was already the last period of the day. Dash was at "free-time", which was like a Study Hall, but the students were allowed to go outside. Dash would always spend her time outside, feeling like she was free of her responsibilities, and always practice the sport she was in at the time. And since it was basketball season, she'd always shoot hoops. So, it was a nice spring day outside and most of the students were just sitting around the school area talking to each other, enjoying some reading, playing children's card games, or just enjoying the breeze. Miss Cheerilee would watch from the entrance to make sure no trouble starts brewing. Dash came out with a basketball in her hands she looked around and tried to find Twilight. "Huh. Where's Twilight? She did say she had this hour too, maybe she's just running late. Probably has to be some sort of new student crap." Rainbow said to herself. She then went to one of the hoops nearby. When she got to one, Dash took a few steps back away from it, only to start dribbling the ball in the same spot and would then successfully shoot it through the hoops. She would continue to do this for five minutes with her successfully making most of the shots, but would usually stress out when she didn't make any. When she does stress out, she'd pull her hair back hard but would take a deep breath and get back on track. Some of the students, who were actually Dash's teammates, would cheer for her. After a few more shots, she would take a break and say to herself, "Okay, where the hell is Twilight? Is she pulling my leg or something?" She would then start walking away from the hoop and say to herself, "But, I shouldn't be too hard on Twilight though. I should at least try and look for her." And she would start looking for her new friend, only for Twilight to be hiding in a wall adjacent from Rainbow. She was just sitting down on the concrete looking at the open book that helped her upgrade the Element of Loyalty between her legs and the book was on the page that taught how to transfer magic into the Elements of Harmony. She also had her eye on the Element of Loyalty itself. Twilight then thought to herself, Well, I guess I could give her the Element of Loyalty now. D'oh, who am I kidding. She wouldn't believe me. In fact, she'd think I'm totally weird if I told her who I actually was. Then again, the Rainbow Dash of my world would think I'm crazy if I told her that I went to a new world through a mirror. But, both Rainbow Dashes are like each other, and Princip- I MEAN, Princess Celestia, said the Rainbow was somehow blood-related to the Princess of the Sky. She then said to herself, "Maybe I should tell her." "Tell me what?" said Rainbow out of nowhere scaring the alicorn in a human's body. Twilight had a 'scared for her life' face for a moment. She then said to Rainbow stressed out, "Rainbow! Don't scare me like that!" Rainbow then replied with a wide-open jaw, "Me scare you?! You scared me! Tell me that you share the same last period with me and don't show up for the next five minutes?! WHAT THE HELL?!!!" Twilight got a little embarrassed look on her face. "Hehe, sorry. I was just, uh... I was really stressed out from signing some paperwork Princes-, I MEAN, Principal Celestia had for me. Being the new student and all." Twilight said nervously. She then thought to herself, I really need to stop doing that! Rainbow sighed and replied, "It's alright. Come on." She then helped Twilight up and walked her over to the basketball hoop where she was shooting before. Rainbow then picked back up her basketball and started shooting hoops again. "So... what are you doing?" asked Twilight curiously since she never seen the way humans played basketball before and the way they played in Equestria was way different. (And making a fourth wall break here, the way I speak is so complicated, I won't speak of it here.) "Practicing for next week's game. Pretty much every team we face can be really challenging, so that's why, every 8th period, I do nothing but this." said Rainbow as she continued to successfully shoot through the hoop. Twilight then asked, "So, are you really this serious about basketball?" Rainbow said, "I'm pretty much serious about every sport I participate in. For fall soccer, I just kick the balls into the goals, not to mention it's my #1 favorite sport of all time. For winter volleyball, I just keep bouncing the volleyball up and down, and for early summer cross country," "You run?" replied Twilight. "Exactly," said Dash. She stopped shooting hoops for a second and turned to Twilight. "You wanna shoot?" asked Rainbow. Twilight then replied, "Excuse me?" "You wanna shoot the basketball into the hoop, is what I meant." replied Rainbow. Twilight then got really nervous since she didn't really like doing sports and thought that the way humans played basketball would be more complicated than the way Equestrians played basketball. Twilight smiled nervously and said, "I'm reeeally not into sports." Rainbow chuckled and said, "Don't worry I'll teach you, It's easy." Rainbow would try and drag Twilight to the front of the hoop. "Hey Twi," said Rainbow who got Twilight's attention. She would then quickly throw a basketball to Twilight, who flinched but managed to catch it. Rainbow would then act like an instructor and say, "Alright Twi. Now, just try to remember how I did it and throw the ball into the hoop, got it?" Twilight nervously nodded and said, "Um, okay?" She would then use all of her strength and nervously shoot the ball toward the hoop, only for it to go really high and fly over the hoop and land quickly back on the ground. "Twi, we're playing basketball. Not air-ball." said Rainbow who was disappointed by her throw. Twilight got all sad and said, "Sorry." Rainbow would laugh and reply to her, "I'm just giving you a hard time Twi, don't take it too seriously! Don't worry, I sucked too when I started." Twilight smiled a bit. Rainbow would then continue, "Alright. Try again, but this time, don't put that much strength into it." Twilight nodded and this time, she gently shot the ball, only for it to not reach that high and only make it halfway to the hoop. Rainbow then came up to her and said, "Maybe, the way you're shooting isn't the right way for you. I think I'll just have to teach you, my way." "Your way? How?' Twilight asked. "It's simple." replied Rainbow. "Now, put your right hand on the bottom of the ball with your fingers coming out to you and put your left hand on the left side of the ball." Twilight nodded and got into the position that Rainbow explained. "Okay, you're doing good. Now, kneel a little and put your left foot a little bit behind you." Twilight then knelt a little and put her left foot behind her. Rainbow then continued, "Now, finally, you're going to try and aim for the hoop and then you're going to jump. And when you do, shoot for the hoop like you're putting your right hand in a cookie jar. Is that simple enough for ya?" Twilight stayed silent for a moment and replied, "Yes." Twilight then got into the position Rainbow explained to her and tried to aim for the hoop. When she was ready, she jumped and threw the ball successfully through the hoop. When Twilight saw that she threw the ball through the hoop, she got all happy. Rainbow got excited too and quickly went to grab the ball. "I did it! I did it!" said Twilight with joy. "Hell yeah you did!" replied Rainbow. "Now you're ready!" Twilight then stopped acting happy for a moment and then replied, "What?" "Me and you, one-on-one, best 2 out of 3!" said Rainbow. She would then successfully shoot the ball through the hoop and then continued, "You scored once, and I scored once, it all comes down to this!" Twilight then got really nervous as she saw Rainbow with a confident grin on her face. Twilight then got confident too and replied, "You're on!" She then quickly stole the ball from Rainbow and tried to shoot, only for Rainbow to block it. Dash would then dribble the ball as she kept it away from Twilight. When Twilight got in front of her, Dash kept moving the ball away from her when Twilight tried to grab it. Twilight then mocked Dash's cockiness and said, "C'mon! Is that the best you got?!" This really pushed Dash to the limit as she tried to shoot as well, but Twilight would manage to block and steal at the same time and got to another position to shoot. Twilight then thought to herself, Damn! I never knew basketball would be this much fun! With confidence in herself, she would try and shoot for the hoop again. But, her confidence would get the best of her and she missed the hoop. Rainbow quickly caught the ball and managed to shoot it through the hoop for the win. Twilight's jaw quickly dropped and she would then fall down on the grass panting heavily. Rainbow would continue her cocky attitude as she celebrated her victory. As she celebrated, she noticed Twilight laying down on the grass and then went over by her. "Hey Twi," said Rainbow as she saw Twilight lying down panting hard. Dash would then put her hand in front of Twilight and say, "That was awesome!" Twilight would grab it but would be very confused as well. "But I lost." replied Twilight. Rainbow then said, "Of course you lost! I'm awesome! But when I play against someone who has that much determination to win that I have, you can possibly say that the opponent is just as awesome as me. I'm proud of you Twi!" Twilight blushed and shook Dash's hand as a sign of sportsmanship. "Thanks." said Twilight. She then thought to herself, Yep. She's the one. Meanwhile, back inside of the school, Fluttershy was by her locker getting her stuff ready for when she leaves. She was humming a little happy song as she was putting her stuff inside her backpack. She would then put it on and proceeded to close her locker and started to leave for the exit. As she was leaving, she saw Dumb-Bell at the exit. Dumb-Bell then said to her, "Hey! Fluttershy, how's it going?" Fluttershy immediately got scared and tried to stay casual, "Um, hi, Dumb-Bell." "Whaddya think you're doin'?" DB suspiciously asked her. Fluttershy continued to stay relaxed and said, "L-leaving for home." Dumb-Bell then got an evil grin on his face and said to her, "Oh really. Are you trying to make a last ditch escape from me?" "What do you mean?" asked Fluttershy. "I'm just saying. Just because I can't beat your friend, Rainbow Crash, doesn't mean I'm done with you just yet." replied Dumb-Bell. Fluttershy then tried to confront Dumb-Bell and said, "Listen Dumb-Bell, just because your parents are fighting all the time, doesn't mean you can well, be mean to others. So, can you please stop this?" Dumb-Bell then busted out with laughter. "You believed that dumb story?! You know I'm just that good of an actor as I am a bully, just to let you know." replied DB as he continued to laugh. Fluttershy then got upset and said, "You lied?!" DB then replied, "Hey, I'm a bad guy. I'm suppose to lie to get my way out, right? Oh, and if you don't make it out alive, don't worry, I'll take care of your animals for you." He then continued to chuckle evily. Fluttershy immediately got full of tears and started to run out of the school building away from Dumb-Bell. She was running for her life until she got to the statue, only to see Dumb-Bell standing right beside it. "Oh hey Fluttershy. Didn't plan to see you here again, why don't we just have a little talk?" said Dumb-Bell as he started to follow Fluttershy. Her fear level then started to rise dramatically as she kept running away from him. She managed to hide herself at the right side of the school. When she went over to the edge of the wall to check if he was still following her, he wasn't there. Fluttershy sighed with relief and said, "Thank god." She sat down on the wall and tried to relax a bit before she continued her walk back home. When she looked on her left, her eyes immediately widened and saw Dumb-Bell standing right there with an evil grin on his face. Fluttershy's fear level then started to dramatically rise again. "Fluttershy! This isn't like you! I just want a friend, that's all!" said DB in a happy tone. Fluttershy slowly tried to back away as he quickly got closer, and at the moment, DB got close to Fluttershy's face, her fear quickly turned into rage. She then got her hand out and would then angrily slap DB across the face. But when her hand touched his skin, for some reason, it burned like it was on fire. "OWWW!!!" screamed Fluttershy in pain as she started to cry quietly as she tried to comfort her burnt hand. She then saw DB's face which had a 5 huge bruised stripes across it. He was chuckling evily and then, without a warning, she noticed that DB's eyes changed to a blue reflection-less color and his teeth sharpened into fangs. The black bruises on his face would then start to grow all over his body and caused the hair to fall off his head. His clothes and shoes disappeared from his body as well. And when he was nothing but a black-colored being, he started to morph into a spiked, knight-like figure and two horns would grow on his head. It was Knightling, the Changeling monster Pupa created to take the Element of Harmony, who disguised himself as Dumb-Bell. He would then laugh as transformation ended, who the proceeded to grab his giant sword from his sheath. Fluttershy noticed this horrific turn of events and then screamed in terror. "AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!" "What was that?!" said Rainbow as she quickly jumped when she heard it. "That sounded like Fluttershy. Something must be wrong with her!" said Twilight worriedly. She then thought to herself, I should know because she's just like the Fluttershy of my world. Rainbow then got serious and said, "Well we can't just stand here, we've got see what's going on!" yelled Rainbow Dash. The two would quickly run over to where the scream came from. They saw Knightling in front of Fluttershy. Rainbow and Twilight immediately got shocked looks on their faces as they saw the Changeling. Dash then angrily yelled at him, "HEY, UGLY!" The Changeling would get Dash's attention and would turn around to face the two young teenagers. Twilight immediately got shocked when she saw Knightling's blue eyes and fangs. Twilight then thought to herself, A Changeling?! But, how did they get to this world? Knightling then got a huge grin on his face and said, "Well, well, well. If it isn't Princess Twilight Sparkle. Enjoying your new human form?" A thought then quickly rushed through Rainbow's head, Wait, did he just call Twilight a princess?! "Well, it's not as easy as it looks." replied Twilight. She then comically thought to herself, And I'm sure it'll get harder from there. She then got serious again and said, "What are you doing here? I thought my brother and Cadence sent Chrysalis and you others back to the Badlands!" Rainbow's head then got another thought, She's not really human? Her brother and this Cadence chick sent, whoever this Chrysalis is back to the Badlands?! Who is this girl?! Knightling then replied to Twilight, "Why, get the Element of Loyalty of course! And since we have the other five elements, Chrysalis will be unstoppable and Equestria will be hers once again!" Twilight got shocked once again and thought with suspense, What?! She also got the other Elements? Including the Element of Magic?! Oh no! I forgot that! In fact, why didn't I grab the other Elements while me and Spike we're getting out of our castle?! Stupid, stupid, stupid! Yet another thought then rushed through Rainbow's head again, Elements? Equestria? Just what the hell is going on here?! Ugh, just forget about it Rainbow. I have to rescue Fluttershy! Dash then got angry and said, "Look, I don't know what this Equestria world is, or what an Element of Loyalty is, or even what you are! I won't let you take down my best friend!" She then took off her outer shirt and skirt once again, and started running after Knightling. Knowing that this fight won't be all fun and games, but a real life or death risk. Knightling then grew a huge grin then. The Changeling then said, "Go ahead! Hit me with your best shot!" Dash would then prepare for a powerful running punch as she closely approached him. Twilight and Fluttershy then feared that Dash might get burnt because of the Changeling's skin. Both of them screamed, "DASH NO!!!" Dash ignored them both and managed to punch Knightling. But, this time, she didn't get burnt. Knightling, as well as both Twilight and Fluttershy, was shocked because when the real Dumb-Bell punched Widow, he got burnt, and when Fluttershy slapped Knightling (disguised as Dumb-Bell) across the face, she got burnt as well. Knightling then said in a shocked tone, "What the hell?! How did you not get burnt?!" "I don't know what on God's green earth you are talking about. But I think it's time for me to lay the smackdown on your candy ass." said Dash in a serious tone. She would then continue to punch Knightling who couldn't even get his skin dented, but was shocked by how Dash was immune to his fiery skin. Twilight then thought to herself, Of course! The Princess of the Sky was able to touch Chrysalis' skin and not get burnt! Because she's a pegasi! And since this is a different version of Rainbow Dash, she's immune to his power! She is the one to be the Princess of the Sky! As Dash and Knightling kept fighting each other, Twilight went over to a hurt Fluttershy, who was still surprised of what happened. Twilight then said to her shy friend, "Are you okay?" "Yeah." Fluttershy replied. Twilight then went into her bag and grabbed out a package of wet wipes and handed them to Fluttershy. "Here, use these. They can heal your hand." said Twilight as Fluttershy grabbed the package and started to wipe her slapping hand. Dash would continue to punch the Changeling, who's skin was still immune to her punches. Knightling then thought up of a last minute idea. Before Dash deployed the next punch, he quickly drew his sword and place the blade in front of Dash's fist, cutting it. "AAH!" screamed Dash as she got hurt. She saw the cut on her fist that was only bleeding a little bit. Then, out of nowhere, she would get elbowed by Knightling into a wall. Knightling started to laugh again. "I think I've had enough playtime with you dirty monkey." replied Knightling. He then grabbed the sword with both his hands and a green aura started surrounding it. He was charging it for his final attack. Dash lied there hurt and near unconsciousness. Fluttershy saw this and then started to tear up, fearing that this could've been the last time she's see her friend. Twilight then felt a sudden vibration from her pocket. It was the Element of Loyalty, and it was glowing a blue aura around the red-colored amulet. It's time. Twilight thought to herself. She then yelled at the near-death Dash, "Rainbow!" Her rainbow-haired friend got Twilight's attention. "Put this on!" she said as she threw the Element of Loyalty to Dash, who grabbed it. "H-how's this supposed to help?" said Dash as she was approaching the stage of passing out. "Just put it on! There's no time to explain!"said Twilight, feared for her life. Dash then noticed the Changeling almost done charging his sword for his final attack. Dash then remembered what would happen to Fluttershy if she died, and then managed to get herself up. She then put on the Element of Loyalty. And then, the blue aura from the amulet then surrounded Dash. She saw the cut from her fist heal away and her energy starting to replenish. She then noticed that her skin was starting to change from a light cerlueanish gray to a very light white color. Her hair then changed to a different style. "What the-?!" said Dash as she saw herself transforming. A light-blue color then covered her hands to the tip of her lower arms and became a lightning-like decal. And then, she noticed that her clothes and shoes were disappearing as well, revealing her legs that were white as well and were covered in the same light-blue color and went up to her hips with the same lightning decal. The toes on her feet, that were still white, started to merge together until there was nothing left but a pair of feet. Her chest got the same with the lightning decal coming from the back of her neck, going to her chest, all the way until it pointed her bellybutton. Then, from her back, a pair of giant white wings with light blue appeared as well. Her ears then pointed and went to the top of her head, similar to that of a horse, or more like an Equestrian Pony. And finally, a lightning bolt of the same light-blue color covered Dash's right eye. Dash looked at herself and was completely confused. "What the hell?! What's happening to me?! Twilight, explain!" yelled Rainbow at Twilight. Knightling then saw the Element of Loyalty hanging from her neck. The Changeling monster gasped and said, "The Element of Loyalty! Here's my chance! CHANGELING SWORD SLASH!" He then started running toward the confusedly transforming Rainbow, waiting to hit his final attack on her. "No time to explain! Just say 'Henshin'!" yelled Twilight. The moment before Knightling slashed Rainbow, Dash said, "Henshin?" Then all of a sudden, a sudden ray of light came from the Element and prevented Knightling from using his finisher. All of a sudden, a beam of light came from the sky and hit Rainbow. This then triggered Dash's final transformation. The fingers then started to mold together into hooves, as well as her feet. Dash's nose and mouth then started to extend into a short muzzle. Her legs then started to shift into pony legs, causing Dash to fall on all fours. And then, from her tailbone, a long tail popped out which had the colors of Rainbow's hair, now a mane. Finally, Dash's eyes changed from a moderate cerise color to a pure green color. When Dash's transformation completed, she did an angry scream that cause a gust of wind around her and blew in Twilight, Fluttershy, and the Changeling's face. Fluttershy was completely shocked when she saw her fully transformed friend. She said in a frightened tone, "R-Rainbow? Is that you?" A thought then rushed Twilight's head, She is here... Rainbow took a good look at her new form still with that confused feeling. She said to herself, "I'm... a pony?" A voiced then rushed through Dash's mind, ...pegasi... "P-pegasi? As in, like a pegasus? That would explain the wings I guess," Dash said as she observed her new wings. "I still don't know about this." said Dash who was now worried. Knightling was completely scared and thought to himself, No! Not her! It can't be! The Princess of the Sky has reawakened! Ugh! What am I thinking, I have to still prove myself against her! He then started charging after Rainbow. This would quickly alarm her and grab his oncoming sword and would then hoofkick him in the gut, finally hurting him and causing him to fly back a little bit. Dash immediately got surprised by that attack, all of a sudden, causing a huge grin to grow on Dash's face. "Whatever I am, I think I'm going to like this." said Dash in a cocky tone. She then re-remembered the wings she had, the moment Knightling got up, still shocked of him finally getting hurt. Dash then thought to herself, I've got wings, right? Then I guess I should try flying I guess. She then started to run as she tried flapping her wings. Knightling started to fear that Dash was charging after him. The moment before Dash got to Knightling, she jumped and her wings caused her to curve upwards into the sky. "She's flying!" said Twilight with excitement. "She's what?!" said Fluttershy with shock. Rainbow noticed her wings flapping and the fact she was soaring like an eagle. This got Rainbow thrilled. "THIS IS AWESOME!!! WOOHOO!!!" Dash yelled with joy as she soared upward to the sky. She then noticed Knightling who was still standing there, preparing his sword for another slash against Dash. Dash then said to herself, "Oops! Should probably take him down first." She then flew back down quickly and hoofpunched Knightling in the back. Dash would stand in front of her two friends, defending them. "THAT'S IT!!! I'M THROUGH PLAYING AROUND!!! CHANGELING SWORD SLASH!!!" raged Knightling who immediately got up and charged his sword quickly. He then started charging for Dash, who quickly flew towards him, dodged the finishing move, and punched him in the face. He fell down, about to feel the same fate Rainbow felt before he finished her off. Dash then flew up towards the sky, and when she was at a high enough point, she quickly came flying down like a meteor. The more she fell down to the earth, the faster she came. She put her hoof in front of her, which started to create a ridge in the sky. "AAAAAHHHHHH!!!" screamed Dash as she flew towards the Changeling monster. Dash was starting to charge toward him faster than the speed of sound, and then, boom. A sonic boom made of rainbows emerged behind Dash, causing her to fly to Knightling like hell. The voice in Rainbow's head then returned and said, ...sonic...rainboom... Dash then thought to herself, Sonic Rainboom? Goofy for a finishing name... I like it. She then screamed to Knightling as she almost approached him, "SONIC...RAINBOOM...BLAST!!!" Her hoof then blasted through Knightling in the chest. "I...I...I-I'm sorry, you're highness..." said Knightling as he suffered Dash's sonic rainboom. Dash then stood in front of Knightling's body, which melted back into the black substance he was formed from and vanished from existence. Dash then satisfyingly smiled at the Changeling's disappearing body. Both Twilight and Fluttershy were left with there jaw's open. Twilight then thought to herself one last time, I did what you said, Celestia. The Princess of the Sky... is back... END CHAPTER 6 END EPISODE 1 > Episode 2: Chapter 1 - A Destiny Revealed > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "SONIC...RAINBOOM...BLAST!!!" screamed Rainbow as her hoof, and eventually, her whole body went through Knightling's body. The rainbow that was trailing behind started to fade once Dash had landed from such a powerful maneuver. Knightling had awe and shock on his face during his final moments in the human world. "I...I...I-I'm sorry, you're highness..." said the Changeling who's body slowly started to melt into the black substance he was made from. He then thought to himself one more time, Inconceivable... The pegasi that beat my ruler and the other members of my kind, has returned... How is the highness going to react when she see this? When he finished completely melting into a puddle, it started evaporating and all of a sudden, it vanished. Rainbow looked down at the ground where the Changeling disappeared from, and then she started to smile, and then laughed with joy. "That was... AWESOME!!!" yelled Dashie with glee as she flew up in the air for a brief moment. She then turned to Twilight and Fluttershy who still had an awe look on their face. "Did you guys see that?! Tell me, DID... YOU... SEE... THAT?!" said Dash with excitement. Fluttershy then nervously asked, "D-Dash? Is that really you?" Dash chuckled for a moment and replied, "Of course it's me, well, I think it's me. Just in a different body, I guess. But, seriously! Wasn't that the most awesome thing you've ever seen?!" "Uh...sure?" Fluttershy said in her nervous and shy tone. "Rainbow, that was amazing! I never knew the Element of Loyalty had that much power!" said Twilight who was amazed. Rainbow then replied in her brash way, "Pfft, I'm pretty sure power had nothing to do with it. It's just that I'm SO AWESOME! Oops! I forgot to ask, Fluttershy, are you alright? You looked pretty hurt when me and Twilight first saw you." Fluttershy replied, "Yeah. But I don't get how your skin wasn't burnt just like mine." "Yeah, and the burn on your hand looked pretty bad. I guess my hands were just too awesome to get burned!" said Dash in her cocky ways. "Actually... that's not the reason. It's actually a pretty long story." Twilight interuppted. Rainbow then said, "Okay, but can you hurry up? I have to go to my dad's garage soon for work..." But she then immediately panicked. "WAIT A MINUTE!!! I CAN'T GO TO WORK LIKE THIS! MY DAD'S GONNA GO CRAZY WHEN HE SEES THAT HIS DAUGHTER WAS TURNED INTO A PEGASI!!! IN FACT, I'M NOT SO SURE THAT ANY OF MY TEAMMATES WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A PEGASI ON THEIR TEAM! I mean, it would be kind of awesome because we'd be winning games by the weeks, BUT THAT JUST TAKES THE FUN OUT OF IT! MY LIFE IS RUINED!!!" Dash cried out hysterically as she curled up into a little ball and started rapidly rocking back and forth. Fluttershy then came back and comforted Dash saying, "It's okay, Rainbow Dash. You actually look adorable this way. "GAAAAHAHAHAHA!" cried Dash who was balling tears. "I'M NOT ADORABLE!!!" She would then tightly hug Fluttershy with her hooves, who then got a disappointed and annoyed face and facepalmed herself with her hand that just got healed. "There, there..." said Fluttershy in an annoyed tone as she pat Rainbow on the back, being crushed by Rainbow's intense hugging. "Calm down, Rainbow! It's alright! All you have to do is say 'Henshin' again, just like when you first transformed." said Twilight who had an embarrassed smile on her face. Rainbow immediately stopped crying and said casually, "Oh. Okay then." Fluttershy then sighed with relief as Dash let go of her. Dash then took a deep breath and quickly got up from her front hooves and was standing like a human. She then put her hooves in the sky and said, "Henshin!" The Element of Loyalty around her then glowed a blue aura which then surrounded Dash. She was then immediately transformed back into her human self with her hair back to normal, her white skin back to the ceruleanish gray color, and her clothes and shoes reappeared as well. She then took a look at herself to make sure she was all human. "Hehe. Well what do you know back to normal!" said Dash with a grin on her face. But Twilight and Fluttershy started giggling at Rainbow for some reason. "Huh, what's so funny?" "You still have your tail..." said Fluttershy in her cute and timid way. Rainbow turned around, only to see that her tail was still there. She then started freaking out again. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT STILL DOING THERE?!" yelled Rainbow intensely as she tried to stuff the tail in her shorts, only for it to disappear. She then sighed with relief and say, "Now, back to normal! Now can you please tell me what's going on here, please!" Twilight replied politely and said, "Very well." Only for her to notice that Dash's outer shirt and skirt were still by the school wall. "By the way, your stuff is over there." Dash then got a comically enraged feeling inside of her, only for her to calm down and go over there and grab it. So after Dash claimed her clothes and put them back on her, she annoyingly said, "There! I got my clothes on! Now tell me, who are you really? Where are you from? What the hell is a Changeling? And why did I transform?" "Patience, Rainbow." said Twilight. She then took a deep breath and started explaining to her friends. "Okay. First question, who am I really? You ask? I'm actually an alicorn princess from the land of Equestria." "Ali-what?" asked Rainbow. "Alicorn, it's a pony that has the wings of a pegasus and the horn of a unicorn." said Fluttershy. Twilight's jaw dropped. "How did you know that?" asked Twilight. Fluttershy smiled and said, "I read tons of fantasy novels." Twilight nodded. "Yeah, what Fluttershy said. Now you're probably wondering what Equestria is, right?" asked Twilight. Rainbow nodded. "Equestria is a world where earth ponies, unicorns, and pegasi live together in harmony. All under the rule of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." Rainbow interrupted and said, "Wait. You're saying that Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna are also Princesses of another world?! Whoa, I need to really know them more!" "Well, sort of. Equestria is actually a different dimension. Meaning, that it's just like your world, but different. Like, instead of humans in your world that inhabit it, ponies of my world inhabit Equestria. And Celestia and Luna are actually alicorns, just like me. Except, really more powerful. Hehe." continued Twilight. "Then, why isn't Celestia president then! She'd make a better prez than Donald Trump!" said Dash amazed. "Don't be rude about politics, Dash." Fluttershy interrupted in her motherly ways. Twilight then continued, "Yeah... but anyways, going onto Dash's third question, what are the Changelings. Well, Changelings are one of the most deadly and sneakiest creatures in all of Equestria. Led by their ruler, Queen Chrysalis." Rainbow then said sarcastically, "Scary." Fluttershy then shushed at Dash before Twilight got back to her story. "The reason why I call them the sneakiest is because of their ability to transform into anyone. In fact, there was one time when Chrysalis posed as my brother Shining Armor's, wife Cadence at their wedding because she wanted to rule all of Equestria. But eventually, Shining Armor and Cadence were able to banish Chrysalis and the rest of the Changelings back to the Badlands." said Twilight. "Okay. I see where you coming from... but what does this," said Dash as she held the Element of Harmony in her hand. "Have to do with this entire mess?" Twilight smiled and replied, "I'm glad you said that. I was just about to get to that part. In my world, we have these things called the Elements of Harmony. Where me and my friends represent a specific element. For example, I represent the Element of Magic. While the Rainbow Dash of my world represents the Element of Loyalty." "Oh! So there are pretty much different versions of us." Dash said. "Are you saying there's a Fluttershy of your world too?" Fluttershy asked eagerly. "In fact, the Fluttershy of my world is a pegasus like Rainbow Dash, and represents the Element of Kindness." said Twilight. Fluttershy then giggled and said, "Well, that is sort of accurate. Like Rainbow is really loyal for someone who's really egotistical." "I am not an egotist! I just really like to compliment myself!" whined Dash. "May I please get back to my story?!" asked Twilight. "Anyways, me and my friends represent the Elements of Harmony and we often use them to protect Equestria from various threats. But long before we were even born, Chrysalis was trying to steal the Elements and use them to defeat Celestia and take over Equestria. But, when she tried to steal the Element of Loyalty, an almighty pegasus being known as The Princess of the Sky emerged from the Element and was able to help Celestia defeat Chrysalis. Dash... what you transformed into today, that was the Princess of the Sky." Dash's mind then exploded. She then said, "What?! You're crazy!" "No I'm not, my dear Rainbow. When Celestia heard the rumors of Chrysalis returning, she demanded that I try and reawaken her by enfusing the Element of Loyalty with magic and give it to the Rainbow Dash of my world," Twilight said. "Because, like I said, she represented the Element of Loyalty. But my castle was then intruded by Changelings. And even though I was able to defend myself against them, their magic, however, prevented me from escaping. With their magic being more powerful than my magic, me and my dragon assistant Spike escaped through this magic mirror to this world, because if we can't give the Element of Loyalty to the Rainbow Dash of my world, we should at least give it to a Rainbow Dash of another world. And here we are." "Wait! You have a dragon companion?!" Fluttershy asked. Twilight acted nervous and said, "Wellll, he's not really a dragon, but he is one. Trust me." Fluttershy got all eager and said, "Ooh! I'd really like to meet him!" "But I'm curious. Why was I immune to the Changeling's skin, if Fluttershy got burned by it?" asked Rainbow. Twilight explained, "It was unknown to me. But I guess that since the Princess of the Sky was immune to Changeling skin, the one who bears the Element of Harmony also has skin that's immune." "So you're saying, that I have to use the Element of Loyalty to become this Princess of the Sky, and fight this Chrysalis being and these Changelings and stuff like that?" asked Rainbow. Twilight nodded. Twilight then replied, "But it's not gonna be that easy though. When I escaped, I forgot the other Elements of Harmony back at my castle and Chrysalis probably got them. Meaning that she must be more powerful than before." Rainbow's eyes widened. "What?! You've gotta be kidding me!" replied Dash with shock. "But, there's a lot more than what meets the eye." said Twilight. "Celestia told me that there's a lot more secrets within the Princess of the Sky, and with help from me, we might unlock them. So, until Chrysalis is defeated, you'll have to fulfill your destiny as the Princess of the Sky. But, nobody else should know about this and the secret should be kept between all three of us. Because as long as the Element of Loyalty is in this world and with Chrysalis around, anyone can be a Changeling, waiting for that right moment to strike." Rainbow then worriedly replied, "You're saying that I can't even tell my dad about it?" "Nope." said Twilight in a serious tone. Silence then rang for a couple moments through that area of CHS. Rainbow then took off the Element of Loyalty and gave it back to Twilight. Twilight, shocked, said, "What are you doing, Rainbow?" Rainbow then said in the same serious tone, "Well, if I can't tell anyone about it, then I don't want to accept my destiny." Fluttershy gasped. "What do you mean Dash?" asked Fluttershy in a surprised tone. "Accepting this destiny, or whatever the hell it is, is a dangerous path. And sometimes, I don't like taking down those roads because it might hurt my friends, inside and out." said Dash. Twilight then said to Dash, "Rainbow, we all go through this. It's how life works. Eventually, you'll have to come to grips and accept the fact that you'll have to accept your destiny, no matter what." "I don't care!" yelled Dash as she started to grow angry. "Even if I did keep this a secret, I still get that feeling like Fluttershy, or my dad, or anyone that I care about can get hurt!" Fluttershy interrupted, "Uh, Rainbow? When I first met up with that Changeling, it was taking the form of Dumb-Bell, so I guess he was probably taken in. I'm so sorry." Dash's rage grew. "You see! That's the reason why I can't do this! Because people like that could get taken in and these Change-thingies, can take their identity as long as I have the Element of Loyalty! In fact Twilight, why didn't you just give it to your Rainbow Dash?!" screamed Rainbow with rage. "I couldn't even get out of my castle! I'm sorry Rainbow, but you have to do this! Because if you don't, Chrysalis will be unstoppable and finally take over Equestria!" yelled Twilight as she started to grow with rage too. Rainbow replied, "That has nothing to do with my world, so why bother?!" "Because...because..." Twilight said as she grew silent. She then yelled back at Rainbow, "JUST ACCEPT YOUR DESTINY!!!" "NO!" yelled Rainbow. Fluttershy grew scared, because she didn't like to see her friends fight. "I'M BEGGING YOU RAINBOW, PLEASE!!!" Twilight said with tears in her eyes. Rainbow then said one last time, "I SAID NO!!!" She would then push Twilight to the ground. "RAINBOW DASH!!!" yelled Fluttershy with fear. Rainbow looked back at Fluttershy who started crying quietly. Rainbow got teary then and said, "I-I'm sorry Fluttershy... I didn't mean to scare you..." She then turned to Twilight and said, "Look, Twilight. I'm sorry if I did this to you, really I am. But I just can't accept this. And if you're just gonna keep annoying me about it, I guess we can't be friends anymore..." Twilight then got shocked then. She then cried silently to Rainbow, "It's okay." Rainbow then left Fluttershy and Twilight, in which Fluttershy comforted Twilight. Rainbow then thought to herself as she walked away, I guess I was right before. Maybe every new student is weird. She looked back at her friends one last time before heading to her locker to grab her things and head down to her dad's garage. Twilight then thought to herself too as she stared at the Element of Loyalty with Fluttershy comforting her, I'm sorry Celestia... I did what you said... but I failed... END CHAPTER 7
