> Twilight forgets to study for a Test
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my GOSH! I can't believe that today is test day. Math test day. And I'd forgotten to study!!" Twilight (Sci Twi) freaks out over the fact that there's a math test today, and she'd completely didn't study for it, let alone prepare.
Twilight pulls out her school/daily planner from her backpack, opening up to exactly last week Tuesday, where she sees that she had written for a test down. "In my planner it says, 'Math Test, Mr. Doodle's math class, study study STUDY!'. Yet I've must of missed it. It's not like me to miss anything!" Twilight throws her arms up in the air, launching the planner from her hands and it landing perfectly atop Mr. Doodle's head, knocking his toupee off in place of it. The teacher not knowing of what happened.
Sunset Shimmer comes and places a hand on Twilight to try to calm her down. "And do you remember what you did instead of studying?"
"I was... I was reading 'Star Gone Dimensions, Volume Six'," Twilight embarrassingly says, her face blushing red, "I couldn't help myself. I was only gonna read the first volume. Next thing you know, I'm at volume eight!"
"Aren't those those old Sci-fi novels from the sixties?" Rainbow Dash asks her. "Plus, I think you're being way too 'overly dramatic' here, Twi."
"'Overly dramatic'? You do realize what's at stake for me here, don't you?"
Both Sunset and Rainbow shakes their heads 'no'.
"What's at stake here is my test grade average. For every test I've taken, I'd scored exactly a ninety-five or above. That is what's at stake here! I've worked so hard to get here and I'm gonna completely blow it 'cause I "decided" to goof off instead." Twilight slides down to the hallway floor, leaning back against the lockers, head down.
Sunset's about to say something when Rainbow interjects: "Ya know Twi. Ya could try just 'wringing it'?"
Twilight looks up at both her friends. "Wringing it?" Hearing this, Twilight thinks in her head of the idea. 
"Way to go. Now she's overthinking this." Sunset whispers to Rainbow. Rainbow strugging.
"Yes, I've got it! It's so simple. If I recall, this test will mostly be about fractions. And I'm already good at those!!" Twilight says excitedly, jumping off of the floor and hugging Rainbow.
"Thanks friend," Twilight separates from her, "Now I've got a test to 'wring'." Twilight says with a wink and with defiant as she picks up her backpack and marches on over to Mr. Cranky Doodles' 1st hour math class.
Leaving both Sunset and Rainbow there by themselves.
"Well, at least she's not freaking out anymore." Rainbow says. Sunset facepalming.


***


End of Mr. Doodle's class.
Twilight feeling pretty confident now that the test is over and she can forget about the whole thing.
Well, other than what her test score might be.
As everyone is packing up their bags to head to their next class, Twilight is just sitting at her desk, thinking (and possibly exaggerating) in her head of what her test score might be.
"Miss Sparkle!" Mr. Doodle calls Twilight up to the front of the class.
"Yes." She says with a bit of worry.
"Your test score. It's just... you've completely outdone yourself. Congrats."
"Huh...?" Twilight gasps questioningly before being shown her test. And seeing it being graded 'one-hundred percent' in big, red marker at the top.
"You mean, I..." Twilight stops to think of what else to say, only for her to smile bright and wide.
"Thank you. And... uh..." Twilight stops what she's about to say when she finally notices the top of Mr. Doodles' head. More specifically his toupee.
"Uh, has that always been there?" Twilight asks, pointing at the top of his head.
"What. My toupee? Why, it's always been there. Why do you ask? You like it?!"
Twilight is just speechless, pointing (and staring) at his toupee.
Only it's not his usual, actual toupee. It's actually Twilight's planner.
> Rainbow Dash at the Track Meet
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Aw yeah! The annual Canterlot High-CHS Track Meet is today! And I am so gonna win!"
"Pffft. In your dreams Dash. This year, I'm taking home the gold." Lightning Dust, Rainbow Dash's main athletic rival/CHS's best athletic freak, snarks back at Rainbow Dash.
"Oh, we'll see about that."


***


"Ladies and gents, the 100 meter relay is about to start. All competitors, please report down to the starting line of the track." The PA announcer states out to everybody.
Though Rainbow Dash is already at the starting line. In fact, she's been by the starting line ever since she first arrived here at the meet earlier in the morning (besides her having to go over and compete in the shot put event).
Having in her earbuds, listening to her usual pre-workout music, all the while doing warmup leg exercises (and her usual good luck charms), she feels absolutely fired up to win this thing.
Taking out her earbuds and throwing them over to some random guy in the stands, Rainbow Dash goes to her correct lane, lane number three, then getting in the starting position.
"I so got this." She confidently says to herself.
"We'll see about that." Lightning Dust slyly says, who also happens to be next to her in lane number four.
The track official lifts his starting pistol up into the air, firing it, and off they go.


***


"I can't believe I lost." Rainbow Dash said, fifteen minutes after finishing the race, where she had placed fourth.
"And I can't believe I got fifth place." Lightning Dust annoyingly said.
"And I can't believe it's not butter!" Some random spectator in the stands states out loud as he had just taken a bite out of a piece of bread smothered with 'I Can't Believe It's Not Butter'.
Both girls inquisitively look on at the spectator.
All the while, Derpy Hooves walking on by with a gold, first place medallion around her neck.
> Pinkie Pie bakes a Pie
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Alright. I have twice of each ingredient needed to bake this pie. So let's get baking!"
"Uh, Pinkie Pie, what is it you're exactly doing?" Rarity asks, concerned.
Pinkie is just about to start baking the biggest pie all everyone has ever seen. A pie so big, they'd have to give it its' own page in the newest, latest edition of the Guinness Book of World Records.
"I'm baking a pie."
"Yes, but why. And why are you doing it in the school's cooking classroom? Why not at Sugarcube corner?"
"That's simple. So everyone can see, once I'm done, the biggest pie they've all ever seen!" Pinkie exclaims. "And why? It's definitely not to kickstart my legacy as a professional baker/world record holder, nope."
Rarity's about to speak before new student at CHS, Cheese Sandwich, slams open the door and walks into the room.
"Hi Pinkie Pie. Ya ask if I wanted to help. So, here I am!" Cheese Sandwich makes himself known to the pink haired girl wearing her usual baking apron.
"Wait. You actually want to help me. But earlier when I asked you, you just played me off and said, in a totally fake, cool guy voice," Pinkie leans on the counter, talking in a 'cool guy' voice, "'maybe next time'."
Cheese's cheeks blush an embarrassing red, looking nervous, thinking of what to say.
"Well I..., that was, like, an hour ago. But I'm totally willing to help now!"
"Well in that case," Pinkie pulls out an extra apron somewhere out from her puffy hair, throwing it over to him, "put that on and we can begin."


***


(Four Hours Later)


"Miss Pie. It's seven o'clock p.m.. How much longer will this take?" Vice Principal Luna asks impatiently, hoping that she (and Pinkie and Cheese Sandwich) may head home soon.
"Oh, don't worry. The pie should be done in, three... two... one..." With perfect timing, the timer goes off, signifying that the world's biggest pie is finally done baking.
"We would've gotten done sooner if my trusty assistance didn't keep looking my way every once in a while while he was cutting the apple slices," Pinkie says, putting on her oven mitts, "We've probably would've been done, by my calculations, an hour ago."
Cheese's cheeks blush another embarrassing red. "Well I, I just wanted to make sure everything was perfect," Cheese looks Pinkie's way again, "And it was perfect." Cheese feels a 'lovey-dovey' grin come over his face.
"Huh, I guess that makes sense." Pinkie says, her entire upper body completely inside the oven.
"Right." Vice Principal Luna says to herself, standing in the background.
"Okay, on three. One... two... three!"
With one strong pull, Pinkie brings the big pie out of the oven, and immediately sets it down (calmly) on the counter.
"Wow Pinkie! It's... It's amazing!!"
"Thanks..., I couldn't have done it without ya..." Pinkie says, panting for air.
"Wow! It really is amazing." Vice Principal Luna compliments their (mostly Pinkie's) work, taking her phone out to snap a pic of the new world record for the biggest pie.
"I'll just be in the hall waiting for you two. Congrats on the record."
"Thanks..."
After a minute of silence, Pinkie immediately sharpens back up, walking herself over to the sink to wash up all the bowls, measuring cups, and everything else they used.
"Say Pinkie," Cheese Sandwich shyly says to her, bringing a large bowl over to her, setting it in the sink, "if you plan on baking anymore big pastries, you can ask me to help once again. I..."
"Sure! And you can ask me if I wanna get ice cream with you sometime, but it's totally not a date, nope." Pinkie somehow guesses what Cheese's about to say next (and by somehow meaning it's just her being well, her) while she wipes a measuring cup clean.
"Uh... what... I, uh..." Cheese can't quite figure out what to say about that.
"Just kidding." Pinkie clears all that up, but not before giving a wink his way.
> Rarity and the Gossip
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The bell rings as third hour is set to begin.
Rarity though is already seated at her desk, all ready for Miss Cheerilee's English class.
As Rarity is perfecting the positions of her pens and notebook on her desk, she overhears behind her chatter. More specifically, gossip.
Rarity takes just a slight peek back behind her to see that one of the school's fashionista (whose name escapes her at the moment) and new transfer student Coco Pommel are the ones partaking in the talk of the gossip.
"So I like, heard, like, at the mall last night, that that Snips fella was out hitting on the new foreign exchange student." The fashionista gossips about.
"Really? He was hitting on Zecora?" Coco Pommel asks questioningly.
"No, the other foreign exchange student. Gabby, I think her name is."
"Gabby? Isn't she like, way younger than he is?"
"OMG like, I'm telling the story here, Coco!" The fashionista blurts out, annoyed, loud enough to get the attention of Rarity and the student seated next to them but not so loud as to get any unwanted 'stares' going their way from the rest of the class.
Rarity looks at the fashionista quizzingly, but not the less strugging it off. They both know that she's 'cool' enough with the two of them to understand.
"Uh, sorry." Coco apologizes, breaking up the silence.
"No it's, fine. Like, whatevs."
Rarity takes her ears away from their conversation and directs them to the front of the class to hear what Miss Cheerilee's been saying for the last two minutes.
Snips and Gabby huh?
Meh. They tote not make a cute couple.
> Applejack and her Way
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Howdy y'all, how's it-" Applejack stops herself once she first sees that everyone in school today just so happen to all be wearing the very same hat she adorns every single day.
Even her own friends are partaking in the latest CHS's trend.
"Uh, what's going on." AJ asks either one of her friends, a little creeped out by what she sees happening today.
"Oh uh, I should explain," Rarity steps up closer, wearing a hat like Applejack's as well, "You see, last night, I had a vision!"
"A vision? Hoo boy." AJ quietly says to herself.
"Uh huh. My vision was this: You, my friend, wear that simple ol' cowboy hat everyday, no matter what. And I was thinking, why should Applejack partake in her own 'way' by herself. Why don't we join along with her? And like magic, and by magic, I mean, one SnapGap post, I was able to get the whole school to chime in! Isn't it great?! Now everyone here can be a part of 'your way'."
Now knowing why everyone is dressed this way, or 'her way', Applejack still feels weird about it. Like, her hat is a part of who she is. What makes her, well her. And now everyone is wearing her hat today, and who knows how long they will be, 
"Say Rarity, Ah-"
"Sup Applejack. I don't totally say this often, but me wearing your hat makes me totally understand you. Like, a part of you, in me. Anyway, nice seeing you." Trenderhoof, the new transfer student from Crystal Prep says sincerely to her, continuing to walk on by.
"Oh, and also," Trenderhoof stops for one last thing, looking back. "If you want, you can sit with me and my friends at lunch later. Tell us more about your 'lifestyle'."
"Well Ah-"
Applejack is once again interrupted when one of the school's fashionistas stops her as well.
"I just gotta say, like, your hat, is such an inspiration."
"I know right!" Trenderhoof agrees.
"Ah, well..." Thinking for a second, a smile appears on Applejack's face. Thinking that maybe this won't be so bad after all.
"Ya know, Ah might jus' get use t' this."


(The Next Day at School)


"Hey y'all!" Applejack says confidently now that she's 'okay' with everyone wearing a hat like hers. Speaking of her own hat, this morning before school, she had tied a light reddish pinkish orange bow onto it.
Just to make it feel 'new' to the people who start to get bored with the look.
"Ah did something with my hat. Wanna check it-" Applejack stops as she sees her friends, and seeing them all not wearing a hat like hers though. 
Speaking of which, AJ takes a good look around her to see that no one else is wearing a hat like hers today either.
"What the?" AJ says to herself under her breath.
"Um, allow me to explain," Rarity gets right up close to Applejack, "You see, well, everyone eventually got bored with the look, us included," Rarity points back to the rest of their friends,     "And so I had another vision last night. Why do cowboy hats, when you can do glow-in-the-dark friendship bracelets!" Rarity exclaims as she shows both her wrists, at least five glow-in-the-dark friendship bracelets being on each one.
"Oh." Applejack feels disappointed, by the fact that everyone could simply just 'decide' not to wear a hat like hers, like that. They could simply just 'ditch' her 'way'.
But also a sense of relief comes upon her.
Like, now that she's still the only one in school who wears a hat like her own. Glad that things are back to normal, for now.
"Well, ain't that a relief. Say, ya got anymore of them there bracelets?"
> Fluttershy meets Someone New
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today after school, Fluttershy is doing her normal everyday after-school activity, which is going to the local animal shelter to help take care of the animals.
Usually, one of her other friends comes along with her to help, but that's not the case today as Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Sunset Shimmer, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle were all called with having to go through the portal to Equestria to help the supposed ponies there of an ancient, thousand year old magical threat, and stopping it before it decides to come to this world to wreak havoc everywhere.
Yeah, they were busy.
Walking into the animal shelter, hearing the bell ring throughout the lobby of the shelter as she opened the door, Fluttershy puts her bag down on a nearby chair and immediately gets right to work.
"Hey TreeHugger, didn't expect to see you here today?" Fluttershy asks her new 'interesting' friend, seeing as she's holding a doggie biscuit in front of a wounded puppy, who's about to bite into it until TreeHugger turns her attention towards Fluttershy, pulling the doggie biscuit away, and waving at her with the hand that's holding the biscuit.
"Hey Fluttershy, what brings you here?" She asks in her usual 'interesting' voice.
"Why, I always come to the shelter every Wednesday after school," Fluttershy says as she grabs another doggie biscuit and walks over to another injured puppy, "You didn't forget again, did you?"
"Sorry. My chakras must've not been cleared up. But at least I remember today's bath day!" Tree Hugger says as she waves the doggie biscuit in front of the puppy's face, the pup trying to take a bite out of it as the treat repeatedly moves up and down in front of him. Her unknowingly knowing of what's going on.
"Well, at least that's good." Fluttershy says positively, giving her treat biscuit to the other puppy.
After the two finish giving treats to all the animals, then going over to get the bath ready, Fluttershy and Tree Hugger (mainly Fluttershy as she notices her friend acting awfully zoned out(more than usual today)) both hear the hanging bell above the front door chime all throughout the shelter.
"A visitor?" Fluttershy questionably asks, looking to see her friend looking the more zoned out than before. "I'll just go check on who it is. Don't start without me."
After Fluttershy leaves the room to head to the lobby, leaving Tree Hugger alone, she finally answers back: "Righteous."
Back to Fluttershy.
"Hello there, and welcome to Canterlot City Animal Shelter Number Fifteen. How may I help you today?" Fluttershy greets the visitor as she walks on in to the lobby from the bathing room.
"Oh my. You're Fluttershy, right?" The visitor shyly asks.
"Uh huh. And what brings you here?" Fluttershy answers back, asking. And also trying to get a good look at the shelter's newest visitor. 
Trying the key word as this visitor is wearing a large blue parka jacket, a sweatshirt underneath it, its hood covering up the person's face entirely. Also wearing blue jeans and dark blue rubber boots. Oh, and having on bright red mittens.
"Yes. I need you. To help me?" The visitor speaks once again, still speaking as shyly as before.
"Okay, and that is...-?"
"Yes! That is, I need your advice," The strange visitor interrupts Fluttershy, "If I want a pet of my own, which do you think is perfect for me?" 
"Which pet? Why, it all depends on what you're comfortable with. What you think would be the perfect -est pet for you. I can only offer suggestions." Fluttershy answers the visitors' question.
"Any pet I'd feel comfortable with...?" The visitor says to itself, though, Fluttershy could hear a little of what was said.
"Thanks for the advice. I uh, gotta go. Now."
"No problem then. Thanks for coming-" Fluttershy interrupts herself once she sees that the visitor had just left, mysteriously almost.
"Huh." Fluttershy scratches the top of her head in confusion, thinking about the weird visitor she'd just seen before hearing what sounds like a loud explosion coming from the direction of the bathing room. Immediately stopping her train of thought and running over there as fast as she can.
> Sunset Shimmer gets asked a Question
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunset Shimmer is in her sixth hour chemistry class, cautiously paying attention to Mr. Steven Magnet, one of CHS's newest teacher, on this dreary rainy Tuesday.
Or at least she's trying to pay attention. Her having to repeatedly open her eyelids time after time.
Guess who knew Mr. Magnet's chemistry class could be so boring. No offense to him, of course.
While Sunset is sitting at her desk, half awake and trying to pay attention to Mr. Magnet's lecture on the chemical properties of the periodic table (barely writing any of this down), she feels something vibrate.
Fair enough, as the teacher isn't looking, she looks into her bag for a split second to see that yes, the journal she uses to write to Princess Twilight and back, is indeed the one doing the vibrating.
A look of excitement coming across her previously bored face.
Once Sunset finds the perfect time, she gladly takes the journal out of her bag, opening up to the newest entry as fast as Pinkie Pie saying all of her friends' names as fast as she can.
"Okay. What do you have Princess Twilight?" Sunset Shimmer says quietly to herself, not seeming to notice all of the other students packing up their things and leaving the classroom, her reading:


Dear Sunset,
Is it two cups whipping cream then three tablespoons vanilla extract? Or is it one cup whipping cream and two tablespoons vanilla extract?
Sorry to bother you with this silly question but I need to know. Me and Spike are having a cook-off. His breaded mushrooms are no match for my pound cake!

Oh, sorry 'bout that. Just let me know and I won't bother you again. Unless there's a thousands year old magical monster unleashed in your world.

Signed,
Princess Twilight Sparkle


"Oh." Sunset speaks to herself, a little disappointed with what the newest entry said. But, nonetheless, at least it gave her something to distract her boredom with.

With a smile, Sunset writes down below it:


I'll have to ask Pinkie about it. Still nice to hear from you, a friend.


With that, she closes the journal shut and slowly and cautiously puts it back in her bag.
After doing so does she finally realize that every student is no longer at their desks and that she's the only one left in Mr. Magnet's class.
"Uh, Miss Shimmer, you can go now." Mr. Magnet says with a look of worry on his face.
A shade of red comes across Sunset's face, feeling the slight bit embarrassed.
"Uh, yes."
> Twilight goes and buys a Smart Watch
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh my gosh. Can you believe what we're looking at?!" 
"Uh, what exactly am I looking at?"
"What you are looking at is the brand new, sixth generation SunLight Smart Watch Plus!"
"Oh. Okay."
Today, at Canterlot City Mall's SunLight store, Twilight and Sunset Shimmer had come today (mainly it was Twilight who wanted to come today) to check out and see the latest version of the SunLight smart watch, this one being the sixth generation in the line of the SunLight smart watches.
"Say Twilight, don't take this the wrong way or anything, but don't you have, like, all the other previous versions of this? I guess what I'm saying is, why do you feel the need to buy the latest generation every time one comes out?"
"Why?" Twilight brings out her phone, opening up to where her notes are. Looking for the exact notes she'd taken about this particular smart watch for this particular moment . "This is no ordinary smart watch. At least, not like the SunLight Smart Watch Five Plus. For you see, the five plus was moderately slow, in terms of SL chip. Whereas the six plus is reportedly supposed to be way faster with the introduction of the brand new SL6 plus chip. Plus not to mention how this can monitor your blood pressure, and comes in 44 mm with aluminum/plastic casting. Oh, and it can correctly tell the time right." Twilight giggles to herself at the last part.
"Uh..." Sunset just scratches the back of her head in confusion. "So, how much is this thing anyway?"
"Only three hundred and fifty bits. Compared to the third generation, way less costly! And I'm also not counting out all the accessories to come with it.
"Three hundred and fifty bits?! Where in the wide, wide world of Equestria do you have that kind of money?!"
"Uh, well I'm definitely not taking knitting lessons from Rarity so I can knit small cat sized booties that I can then sell to the Canterlot City Cats'' Lovers Club. Nope, definitely not."
"Right."
"Well, we better get a move on." Twilight grabs one of the boxes that contains the smart watch off the shelf. Then walking on over to the checkout line, whether Sunset wants to or not.
"Oh, okay. Guess I'll see ya at the food court."


***


After fifteen minutes of waiting in line, it's finally Twilight's turn, having on a big, bright smile. Happy that she got what she wanted.
"Can you believe I'm about to get the latest in SunLight technology?!" Twilight excitedly says, placing the box on the checkout counter. "It's just so grand!"
"Uh huh. Real interesting." The deadbeat, late twenty year old cashier said... deadbeatingly. Him scanning the box and punching in the correct amount needed.
"That'll be three hundred and seventy-five bits."
Twilight takes her card out from her purse, then inserting the card's chip into the chip reader, removing it once the machine says so.
"Would you like it bagged, ma'am?" The cashier said deadbeatingly as the receipt spews out a mile long.
"No thank you." Twilight says as she grabs her newest smart watch, getting the at least one mile long receipt, and heading on out of the SunLight store. Off to the food court to show the rest of her friends her latest purchase.
> Rainbow Dash gets Bored
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ugh. I'm sooo bored."
Rainbow Dash is in her fifth hour study hall, and well, she's bored.
Usually she'd have homework to work on but surprisingly, she doesn't, as every teacher/class she had up until this hour had decided to not give homework for today. Causing her to be bored 'cause with no homework to do, she'll have to just sit at her desk 'til the bell rings.
And it's not like she can look on her phone, less alone listen to her music, during this time because Mr. Cranky Doodle is the teacher in this study hall period. And he has a very certain, very strict 'no phones' policy. Plus, he can be just a little cranky at this hour of the school day. What considering how he's also the math teacher, and having to deal with ninth and tenth graders at the very earliest of the school day.
"So bored." Rainbow says to herself.
Just then, out of nowhere, Micro Chips frantically comes running into the room, alerting everyone: "Sweet Principal Celestia! The aliens have landed!!! And they're not here to make friends!!!"
As soon as Micro finishes his warning, what sounds like alien zapping noise can be heard in the hall just outside.
"Oh no. They found us!!!"
Looking (and seeming) unfrazed by everything, Mr. Cranky just shoos the frazzled student away, all the while he reads his newspaper. Everyone else in the classroom too looking (and seeming) unfrazed by all that Micro Chips had just said, everyone too busy doing their homework.
"Are you nuts?!"
Seeing that nobody is reacting to this as he expected, Micro Chips runs back out into the hall, slamming the door shut.
"So bored." Rainbow's head plops down on her desk.
> Applejack + Pinkie Pie in: The Cupcakes
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a day like any other day...

"Hiya Pinkie. Ah'm here with all the apples ya wanted."

Little did Applejack know of why Pinkie needed a whole twelve ton barrel of apples...

"Why exactly do ya need this many apples? And are ya hearing what Ah'm hearing?"

Applejack wasn't hearing anything. It was just the wind...

"If you're talking about the narrator of this story, then yes!" Pinkie just so reluctantly says as she pushes a cart filled with a wide variety of desserts out into the Sugarcube Corner lobby.

She doesn't know what she's talking about! She's just being her usual, annoying self...
Oooo, go on please...
What the...?

"Right. Anyway, Ah got yer apples for ya. Tell me where ya want them, then Ah be outta yer hair, lickity split."
"Sure! Just put them in the back. Oh, and stay there. I got a new cupcake recipe for you to try out."
"Okay. See ya back there then." Applejack says as she activates her gem necklace, gaining all the strength in the world through it. Then using her newfound strength to lift up the barrel of apples up onto her shoulders, walking it on in to the back.

Little did Applejack know, the cupcakes she would be tasting would be much a surprise...

"Ah can still hear something? Narrator or not." Applejack speaks to herself as she's just walks in through the kitchen doors.
Five minutes later and Pinkie joins her friend in the back of the kitchen.
"So Pinkie, where's this cupcake recipe ya want me to try out?"
"Right here!" Pinkie rejoices proudly as she pulls out a tray of a dozen evenly spaced cupcakes out of the oven. The oven wasn't even on.
"I call these, 'Berry Cherry Twist'. With a twist!" Pinkie goes over and whispers into Applejack's ear. "The twist is I accidentally dropped the measuring spoon in the batter." squee
"Uh, okay." Applejack takes a closer look at all twelve of the cupcakes. Every one cupcake being berry flavored batter.
"These look mightily delicious. Ya gonna frost them or-"
"Oh no," Pinkie interrupts her friend, chuckling to herself a little, "I need you to try them without frosting. Just as a taste test."
"Okay." Applejack picks one off of the tray, tearing off the cupcake wrapping paper and goes in for the bite."

Little did she know, she'll be getting a twist alright...

Applejack just ignores another of the so-called narrator's 'monologue', and takes the first bite out of the cupcake.
Taking the first bite, Applejack's taste buds enjoys the fine berry, prompting her to take another bite.
So she does. Doing so a third time before altogether eating it whole.
Applejack smiles, thinking about the tasty treat she'd just ate. Her about to turn around to tell Pinkie of what a good job she'd done.
All before she starts to feel something coming up, like vomit. Only it's not.
Applejack starting to choke in her throat area before she finally coughs up out of her the very same measuring spoon Pinkie had said she'd dropped into the batter.
"Hey, there's the twist!!"
> Rarity goes and asks Fluttershy a Question
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh. Hi Rarity. What brings you to-"
"No time! Now tell me, are you more of a silk or a poplin kind of person?!"
"Uh..." Fluttershy nervously looks back and forth between Rarity and all the different kinds of fabric all in a little red wagon that Rarity had pulled all the way here.
"I should probably explain. You see, right now, I'm in the middle of designing your dress for the school's winter dance. And I want each and every one of our friends' dresses as unique as they are. So, you understand, right?"
"I do. And it's oh so great your doing so much for us, but you don't have to. We'll all be as unique as ourselves with and without your dresses."
Hearing what she'd just heard, Rarity smiles, knowing that no matter what, her friends will like their dresses either way. Such true friends.
"But since you asked, neither. Honestly, I see myself as more of a chiffon than a silk slash poplin kind of gal." Fluttershy giggles to herself. Her and Rarity both laughing the whole thing off.
> Sunset Shimmer and the No Name
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunset Shimmer is just walking down the halls of CHS. Nowhere specific for her to be at. Just walking along.
Until someone bumps into her, the person who bumped into her not noticing her until after bumping into her, the person did.
"Sorry sorry. I just, didn't see you." The person apologizes, the voice sounding muffled.
"No no, I'm sorry. I wasn't really looking and-" Sunset stops talking once she sees that the person is just instead continuing to walk the way they originally were going. Power walking, more like it. Before the person goes to a full on run.
"Huh, weird." Sunset says to herself, her not really getting a good look at the person as he or she was wearing a big hoodie sweatshirt, the hood up and almost basically covering up the person's face.
Though Sunset just instead strugs the encounter off. Continuing to walk the halls.
> Canterlot Magical High
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nighttime during the snowy winter of Canterlot City can be pretty. As the snow falls from the clouds up above to land on the ground under, portraying the landscape to look a beautiful, winter wonderland. It can seem, and look, almost magical.
As the snow continues to fall along the grounds of CHS, something else magical happens.
Leaking out from the crack atop of the base of the wonderbolt statue, many different magical 'sources(?)' leak out from it. Each one a different color from one another. Though each one not really having a predetermined destination to go to, as they all appear aimlessly flying around the snowy winter night sky.
Unlike one specific one, a dark, red colored magical 'source(?)', which does have a predetermined destination of its own.
Flying around the city for a solid ten minutes before landing itself right into some poor, tired girl's alarm clock.
The clock immediately sounding its alarm. Sounding way more louder than it's used to. A few five hours short of when it is supposed to go off. The tired girl immediately spranging up, awake, hearing it (as so too does the whole household).
"Uh okay, like, weird."
> Daring Do and the Lost Phone Number
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Aw yeah!! I can not believe that the new Daring Do book comes out today! 'Daring Do and the Temple of Ahuizotl.' And I'm at the very front of the line! Eeeeee!!" Rainbow Dash fan girls over the fact that the latest edition of the Daring Do book series comes out today, and of how she's the first in line at the bookstore before it opens.
Today is a brightly warm sunny day to stand in a line. Especially since her and the other Daring Do fans are all outside, waiting for one of the store employees to unlock the two double stained glass doors (and be immediately trampled by everyone).
"This is so awesome." Rainbow excitingly says, her wearing her official, unofficial, Daring Do pith helmet. She would wear the rest of her Daring Do cosplay attire but her mom accidentally put them all in with the reds while she was doing the wash.
Nothing can make this day be any worst for her. Well, until...
"Rainbow Dash! I knew I'd find you here."
Rainbow breaks out of her excited funk as she recognized that voice.
"Oh no. Nonononono. That better not be-"
"Zephyr Breeze?" Yes, Zephyr Breeze.
Rainbow just takes one look at him before looking away. Crossing her arms, her expression going to a 'not this again' look.
"Why, I knew I'd find ya here. What's with you being a Daring Do fan and all. Now I'm sure you're asking yourself why I'm here. And that is, I miss you." Zephyr says as he walks over to Rainbow, placing an arm on her shoulders, Rainbow immediately stepping aside out of it as he does.
"You've miss me? I see you everyday!" Rainbows yells out unexpectingly (maybe for Zephyr but not to Rainbow as she usually does this around him).
"Now now. No need to yell. What'd ya say me and you go do something once your done with this whole 'book' thing?" Zephyr offers to her.
"Pssst yeah. Why not give me your phone number while you're at it? So that I can call you later tonight?" Rainbow sarcastically jokes.
"Alright!" Zephyr, taking what she just said literally, pulls out a long piece of paper from the inside of his vest jacket, holding it out for her to take. "For you, m'lady."
Rainbow can only roll her eyes. "Sure, why not." Rainbow takes the number from him.
"You won't regret it. Anyway, I gotta go. Bye!!" Zephyr says as he walks on away from his crush.
Once she sees that Zephyr is completely gone and out of her sight, Rainbow crumbles up the piece of paper, "accidentally" letting it go in the trash bin besides her.
"Whoops."


(Later that Night)


Rainbow Dash is now at home, in her bedroom, sitting crisscross applesauce on her bed as she reads the latest Daring Do book.
Rainbow's been reading ever since she first got home, going straight to her room, deciding to stack all of the other Daring Do books on her bed (for reference), then she began to dig in deep in her new book.
While Rainbow is reading, just about to finish and get to the next chapter, her phone starts to buzz.
"Now who could that be?" Rainbow asks herself after just finishing up the chapter. "Maybe it's Twilight? I'm sure she just wants another Daring Do fan to talk with as she's too probably reading this book. Which is so far awesome, by the way." Rainbow marks her spot in her book, closing it, then picking up her phone, answering it.
"'Sup Twi. I-"
"Rainbow!! I knew you would pick up. Listen I..."
"You have got to be kidding me right now." Rainbow talks quietly to herself, realizing that it wasn't Twilight who was calling her but it just so happen to be Zephyr Breeze himself. Again.
"Ugggh."
> The Eating Toilet Paper Challenge
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's just a normal, boring Tuesday for the Great and Powerful Trixie, who's right now is just mindlessly walking along the halls of CHS, heading to her next class, which is chemistry, which can be as boring as cardboard being made.
While Trixie is walking along, her back slouching, she feels a twingling feeling.
"Uh oh. The Great and Powerful Trixie, must use the little girls' room."
Trixie straightens her back up, then changes course and runs for the nearest girls' bathroom, which is just around the corner.
Trixie enters the bathroom, running into the closet stall and taking a seat down on the toilet, unzipping herself first.
"Aaaaaah." Trixie relieves herself, relaxing herself on the toilet seat.
As she sits, Trixie gets bored, there for bringing her phone up out of her backpack, immediately opening up to the SnapGap app, hoping there's something to look at while she continues to go.
"Mmm, uh huh... sounds interesting... okay... uh huh?" Trixie says to herself as she scrolls through her feed, sounding the most unimpressed. "Nothing impressing... Ooo, I know! I'll checked the trending page! There's gotta be something there."
Trixie does so, opening up to the trending page and seeing something immediately catch her attention.
"Wha huh, the 'hashtag eating toilet paper challenge'. Why, it sounds like the dumbest thing ever... and also the greatest thing ever!
Trixie excitingly says, looking more into the 'hashtag eating toilet paper challenge'. Seeing all the different celebs and other social media influencers partaking in the trend.
As Trixie can see, the whole challenge is about who can shove a whole roll of toilet paper down their throat, making sure it goes completely down to their stomach, the fastest.
After two minutes of looking into the hashtag (completely losing track of time), Trixie thinks to herself.
If celebrities like Countess Coloratura and Sapphire Shores can do it, then so can the Great and Powerful Trixie!!!
Deciding to give it a try, Trixie turns on her camera phone, making sure to press record, then reaches for the nearest whole roll of toilet paper.
"I, the Great and Powerful Trixie, shall perform the latest trend. The 'hashtag eating toilet paper challenge!!!'"
"Now, here I go."


(The Next Day)


"Oh my gosh!! Trixie, are you alright?!" Sunset Shimmer worryingly asks as she sees Trixie the next day at school, her wearing a neck brace, and also having a few bandages on her face.
"The Great and Powerful Trixie has never felt better." Trixie confidently brushes aside Sunset's worries, though her unknowingly wrinkling in pain.
> Orange Sherbet Parfait
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spike (the dog) looks up once again at the clock on the wall, seeing that only four minutes had passed since from the last time he's looked up at the clock.
"C'mon Twilight, how long will you be?" Spike impatiently says to himself, folding both his paws across his body, giving a pouty look.
Spike is right now in his owner's bedroom, sitting up on Twilight's bed, waiting for his owner to get back.
The reason Twilight left was to go get two orange sherbet parfaits from the Starbucks that was just three blocks away from their house.
For the past three days Spike has done nothing but beg Twilight to get him the treat, and after lots of reasoning (and being a good boy), Twilight agreed to get him his treat.
"She only left twenty minutes ago. What could be taking her so-"
"Hiya Spike! I'm back! And you would not believe-"
"You're back!!" Spike jumps right off of the bed, running over and stopping right at the feet of Twilight.
"Uh yes, I am." Twilight walks over to her desk, settling down two large plastic cups of orange sherbet parfait goodness. Each one having a green paper straw and a black plastic spoon sticking up out of them both.
"Well, I hope you like them," Twilight tells Spike as she sits on the corner of her bed, bringing her phone out by her side, "They were pretty expensive, sure, but I was able to-"
Twilight interrupts herself as one short second later, Spike had already gulped down both of the cups.
"Aaaaaah. Hm, meh. They were actually pretty overrated."
> Knight in Shining Armor
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Shining Armor! Oh Shining Armor!!"
"What?! I'm here. What is it?!" Shining Armor asks as he comes running into the room, for some reason, holding in his right hand a stainless steel copper spatula (with rubber grip).
"Shining Arm- oh, there it is. Thanks hubby. I've been looking everywhere for that." Cadence rejoices as she sees what's in Shining Armor's right hand.
"Oh. Well, here ya go." Shining Armor hands over to his wife the spatula, then walking on back to what he was doing before.
> The No Name Girl
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Applejack, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Sunset Shimmer are all just right now standing still in the school's hallway, all seven of them staring blanking, not even saying a word to one another.
Until their unusual silence gets interrupted when a short (about the human cutie mark crusaders' height), naturally blonde, wavy haired girl walks up to them. Looking at all seven of them with her light blue eyes and tannish white skin.
"Uh, excuse me?" She asks either any of them, though sounding as even quieter as Fluttershy, as neither any of them heard her.
"Excuse me? Pardon... Ah HEM!!" The girl covers her mouth with both hands after that recent outburst. Though that would get all of their attention. Plus a few student bystanders as they walk along by, staring at her weirdly.
"Uh, excuse me."
Sunset Shimmer looks towards the girl. "Oh. Well since you 'yelled' for our attention, what is it you need?"
"Yeah! Like, do you need help getting around the school, one of us to be a tutor for you to help with your poor grades in all classes but English, or you come to us for help 'cause Equestrian magic is on the loose and-" 
"Let's just ask her what she needs." Applejack interrupts Pinkie's long tangent by covering her mouth with her hand.
"Equestrian magic?" The girl says quietly to herself, holding a hand up to her face to hide the clear blush on her cheeks, looking the most embarrassed
"Oh no. It's Equestrian magic, isn't it?" Sunset asks, sounding suspicious and disappointed at the same time.
"Well uh, whatever it is, I need your help. Will you help me?"
Sunset's about to speak before Rainbow Dash opens her mouth first. "Help you? Why, I bet that by the end of this adventure, you'll not only be helped, but you'll be our newest friend! Heh, right guys?" Rainbow confidently says, looking around for confirmation at the rest of her friends, though they all looking more unimpressed at her.
"Right. I don't know about the whole 'friend' thing, but if you'll help, then that's good enough for me."
"Sounds wonderful. Now, if you'll come with us so you can explain everything," Rarity welcoming says to her, "Now come with us Miss... uh, Miss... excuse me, but you wouldn't mind telling us all your name now, would you?"
"My... name..." The girl looks off into shock, getting flashbacks of from another time. Like she almost doesn't even know her name.
> "Oops. I Think I Made A Mistake."
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"My name... My name is... is... Sunlight Spazzle.
Right after revealing her name to all seven of them, the floor of which they're standing on starts to shake. Violently. The walls and ceiling all around them violently shaking as well. The overhead fluorescent lights above flickering on and off. A loud rumble sound rumbling all throughout the whole school.
Almost feeling like an earthquake.
Though only the school seems to be experiencing these newfound problems as all the other buildings around it have no effect as to what's happening currently at CHS. 
Like the whole school is cursed.
"Oops. I think I made a mistake."
> In Between The Dusk And The Dawn
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Everybody, get out NOW!!!" Yells out a random school faculty member, as everyone inside Canterlot High School makes a break for it to escape the rumbling, tumbling school.
Outside, everyone (including all students plus faculty... except for Micro Chips as he decided to instead hide in a bathroom stall right as the whole school started to shake) appears on the grounds in front of CHS. Many students panting for air/hyperventilating in a brown paper bag.  Many shaking in fear of what they've just experienced. Many traumatized of what they've just experienced.
"Is everyone here? Are you all okay?!" Principal Celestia asks anyone, looking desperately for something positive about this whole situation, but it was to no avail.
"I... I..." Sunlight Spazzle says quietly to herself, trying to get Principal Celestia's attention... hoping either way to get at least the attention of someone, to help explain of what's going on before the whole entire school building magically floats up into the air, so one appearing above it is a dark blue, magical otherworldly portal.
And in just one instance, the whole building goes up into the portal, once it's completely engulfed in the portal does it send a magical shockwave that goes on for miles and miles.
Everyone on the grounds of the former high school stare up at what just happened in shock, surprise, and uncertainty.
"Oh no."


***


"I don't get it. Whatever "just happened" isn't scientifically possible. There has to be a more scientific process than, whatever just happened! Or this has to obviously be a dream! There's just no other way around it!" Twilight "twilights' all around of her other friends, who are all with her inside the school's library to try to find something that could explain of what just happened.
"And this is obviously Equestria magic's doing. And I'm gonna get to the bottom of this."  Sunset says all action movie -y, her fist clenched, pretending to put on a pair of sunglasses, "Besides, I'm sure Princess Twilight has nothing better to do." She says, pointing to the open journal that she uses to communicate to pony Twilight in front of her, "Now how do I exactly word all of what had happened?" Sunset thinks to herself before giving a strug.
"And while you're doing that, we should all investigate that 'Sunlight Spazzle' girl. You've all noticed how exactly when she told us her name is when all the weird stuff started to happen." Rainbow Dash explains to all of her friends.
"Speaking of that girl, I should say I've seen her before. It was at the animal shelter about a month ago. She asked me about what kind of pet she should get." Fluttershy adds into the conversation.
"Hmm, sounds interesting. But no matter! We will get to the bottom of this. Even if it means interrogating that girl, who does has a brilliant fashion sense if I say so myself." Rarity chimes in.
"Ah fer pete's sake!" Applejack finally bursts out. "Haven't y'all noticed how we'll all in the school! Like nothin' even happened!!"
"You mean you're just noticing this now?" Pinkie says, acting like her usual self.
Regardless, the recent outburst by their friend does cause the rest of them to look around for themselves. And surprise surprise, they are all back in the school. No shaking or rumbling happening. Everything perfectly back to normal.
Rainbow uses her element geo powers to run really fast all throughout the school's halls, plus some of the outside of the school before returning back to the library.
"Ayep. Everything is back to normal. Almost feels and looks like nothing ever happened."
"Oh boy. I definitely do not know how to word this to Princess Twilight." Sunset says concerningly.
"How, what... why?!" Twilight twilights over again.
"Uh, I think I can explain." The girl from earlier said to all seven of the girls as she walks up to them in the library.
"You?!" Rarity asks, with shock and surprise.
"Yes, me. I uh, I think I know why all of that exactly happened. I'm not, exactly, originally from this world, you see."


(A while ago in a different world)


"And I was like, oh my gosh, you like, totes aren't wearing that right now. And she was all like, 'I don't know, it feels so fetch'. And I was like, you did not just say fetch."
"Uh huh."
"And she was just, like, she's weird, y'know."
"Uh huh."
"I mean, she was the same pony who chose to wear sandals in October. Gosh, what a klutz."
"Sparkler, you can't say that! That's rude." Sunlight Spazzle says to her friend, Sparkler 
Duskshine.
"Oh please, you are such a feelings worrier -er. Plus, it's not like she's ever gonna know."
"Oh."
"Anyway, you coming tonight, or what?"
"Tonight? Where?"
"Uh, to Chad Chadderton's party tonight."
Sunlight Spazzle just stares at her friend.
"Wait?! Y'mean ya didn't get an invite?! Even sunburned Becky got one. But not you?!"
Sunlight Spazzle just gives off a strug. "I guess not. But you don't have to worry about me. 'Cause that's more of 'my thing'. You should go. I mean it."
"Well, since you mean it..." Sparkler Duskshine instantly runs off to where she needs to be (which is at home to help get ready for tonight).
"Huh." Sunlight looks down at her hooves, sadly thinking of why Chad Chadderton wouldn't wanna invite her.
Her sad thoughts would be interrupted as she feels her phone vibrating. Checking it to see that it's a text from her friend.
"Talk with ya later. Byee. Stuck-out tongue, closed eyes emoji."


(Later That Night)


Instead of being at Chad Chadderton's party tonight, Sunlight Spazzle is instead at home, spending the night sitting on her bed, constantly checking her MyHoof feed for any updates on the party. And all the while seeing everypony having a heck of a time there.
"Huuuh. I wish I was as popular as Sparkler." Sunlight sadly said to herself, starting to weep uncontrollably.
Then something magical happens, her wish (which wasn't actually really a wish to begin with) comes true... well kind of, I guess.
Sunlight's phone starts vibrating, but not because of a new text sent to her but of something else. The phone continuing to vibrate, Sunlight for sure noticing, desperately trying to make it stop.
Until the phone becomes entirely engulfed in a bright blue magical aura, the same happening to her a second later.
"What the H?-" And like that, both Sunlight Spazzle and her phone magically teleport (*poof*) out of her room.
But not just out of her room, but out of her whole world.


(Back To The EQG World)


"I don't actually really know how I got here, but it must've been a reason. And when my alarm clock started going off, continuously beeping for hours and hours on end, I knew there must be magic afoot. And according to, well, the Internet, you seven are the so-called "experts" on magic." Sunlight Spazzle finishes telling the Humane 7 of her tale.
"Wait. So you're from Equestria too?" Sunset Shimmer asks, pointing a finger at her.
"Well, yes... and no."
All seven of the girls look at one another questionably.
"Uh, and no?" Rainbow asks her.
"I should probably tell you..." Sunlight thinks up of something. "Or, why tell, when you can listen and hear." She said as she pulls her phone out, opening up to her music app, taking exactly ten seconds to find the song, pressing play once she does, and letting the Pony Life theme song play over her phone's speaker, playing it out for all seven of them to hear.


***


"So you're from Equestria...? But not my Equestria, but a way different one than mine. And you are here in the first place because of the so-called Equestrian magic. Anything else you'd like to share?!" Sunset saying the last part sarcastically and frantically.
"Well, I do have this," Sunlight Spazzle takes out a crumbled up piece of paper from her pants' pocket. Flattening it out first before handing it over to Sunset, "I found it in the trash during lunch period."
Sunset takes a good look at it, mumbling what it says to herself first.
"Well, what does it say?!" Rainbow asks, asking for not only her but for the rest of their friends.
"We're... we're cancelled?"
> "Wait, We're What?!"
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wait, we're what?!" All seven of the girls speak out after hearing of what Sunlight Spazzle had told of them, all in shock and surprise.
"Cancelled. You're cancelled. C, A, N, C, E, L-"
"I uh, think they get it." Micro Chips randomly walks up from behind Sunlight, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"If it's anything, I don't know exactly what it means either. I just found the note crumbled up and in the trash."


***


"So, cancelled. What does that even mean?!" Sunset asks, totally confused by all of this.
"I know what it means," Rainbow Dash proudly interjects, "It means that we only have a short, limited amount of time to do all of the awesome, amazing, awesome things left to do. Like, why sit around and let the time go by, when we can all spend what we have left doing something awesome."
"Aw shucks. Ya're right Rainbow. Count me in." Applejack agrees.
"Uh huh. Me too." Rarity agrees too.
"I guess, why not." Pinkie agrees, too.
"Okay." Fluttershy quietly agrees upon too.
The five of them all look directly at both Sunset, who's still freaking herself out about all of this, and Twilight.
"Oh alright. Count Sunset in too." Twilight finally agreeing with the rest of her friends.
"Then it's settled! Now, what exactly can we do for our last times together." Rainbow asking either one of her friends.
All six of the girls (Sunset just being left behind) all walk off to somewhere different.  Somewhere different, more awesome, than here in this hallway in the school.
"Uh, okay. Guess I'll see you later, then. To help me with my, problem," Sunlight Spazzle shouts back to them all, though almost none of them had seemed to hear her, "Alrighty then."
> Friends Doing Things One Last Time
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well, I can't believe we just did that?"
"Uh yeah, totally agree."
All seven of the girls had just gotten done watching 'Ponyella'. It's this one opera that Pinkie had so desperately wanted them all to see with her.
The idea sounded good in her head.
Walking out of Canterlot City Performing Arts Center, the girls stay silent, their expressions as blank and motionless as ever. Besides Pinkie, who's wearing a bright, big smile.
"We literally just spent the last two hours listening to all that, didn't we?" Fluttershy asks either any one of her friends.
"Ah come on, I most surely thought Rarity would've been interested." Pinkie said, feeling disappointed by her friends' lack of opera fascination.
"To be fair, I'm more of a 'show-tunes' type of gal than opera any day of the week." Rarity says comfortably and matter-of-factly at the same time.
"Well enough of that. We've still got enough time to do something different. So, anyone else here know of what we should all do." Rainbow, trying to renew the enthusiasm, asks all of her friends.
The girls all think to themselves of what the next activity they could do until Applejack raises her hand up in the air. An idea (light bulb) appearing in her head.


***


"Applejack, darling, in what world do you think all of us helping you and your family's chores is a very fun thing for the rest of us to do?" Rarity sincerely, from the bottom of her heart, asks Applejack.
Applejack's idea of what they should all do next is each and every one of them helping her and the rest of the Apple family help with the carrot harvest. It, like Pinkie, at least sounded fun to her in her head.
"Well Ah uh, you see... oh aight. If helping with the carrot harvest ain't fun to ya, then Ah guess we can try something else different-"
"Oh goody!" Fluttershy uncharacteristically interrupts Applejack, the rest of her friends staring at her in surprise.
"Oh, I mean, good," Fluttershy says more quietly, back to her usual tone of voice, "I mean, there's going to be a pet giveaway at the animal shelter tomorrow afternoon. I thought maybe you'd all like to help."
"Helping with animals? Sounds fun. We all agree to go with Fluttershy's idea?" Sunset goes along with Fluttershy's plan, asking all of her friends for a vote of confidence.
"Sounds better than what I'm currently doing now." Rainbow votes 'yes' on.
"Here here." Rarity votes yes on also.
"Meh. Okay." Pinkie votes yes on too.
"Sure." Twilight votes yes on as well.
All of the girls look to Applejack, who still hadn't decided yet, her looking the most embarrassed.
"Oh okay. Ah'm in."


***


Well, while the pet giveaway sounded fun to all of them, it didn't exactly 'turn out' as they all might have had expected.
Why, first minute it started, all of the cages unknowingly, as if magically, possibly, unlocked themselves all together. Causing all seven girls to have to chase around the whole shelter, trying to bring the animals back to their respective cages.
Then later on, Micro Chips came and would adopt one of the many kittens (an orange and black tabby). But not too long before, the kitten somehow, almost magically, it seemed, became as big as a tiger, and would scratch the teenage boys' clothes with its' long tiger claws to streads.
Many schenanigans later involving the same situation happening over and over again all throughout the day, the seven girls decided to close the pet giveaway early, taking a long rest of the days' event.


***


"And according to section fifteen in our textbook, the roots of the plant are..."
The rest of the girls all look on with bored, tired expressions as Twilight reads and drones on about the many interesting and exciting facts about the photosynthesis process in plants.


***


"Ah yeah! That's game! I, no, we, win again!" Rainbow brags on as her team of her, Pinkie, and Fluttershy had just beaten the rest of their friends in a (supposedly) friendly game of soccer.


***


"I say, I still may never get the trend behind it. But leather skirts do so go with your whole outfit." Rarity says to herself, while also complementing Sunset's whole outfit.
The latter right now not so really enjoying being her friend's fashion mannequin.


***


"Well, we did what we had always wanted us to do together. Yet, it still feels empty." Rainbow Dash speaks honestly to her friends, all seven of them right now doing nothing at this particular moment. Just all hanging out and around at Applejack's farm (more specifically her barn).
"Empty?" Sunset speaks up. "Empty like, we still don't know how much time we have left together, and we can't quite figure out anymore ways for us to spend our last times as friends together? 'Cause if so, I'm feeling kinda empty too."
"Uh huh, we all do too." The rest of the girls all reply back at the same time.
Silence falls between them all before Fluttersy breaks it.
"Ya know, if we don't have anything else to do, there is one other thing, or, someone, we can help out," Fluttershy speaks to them all, instantly getting the attention of all her friends, "I'm talking about that Sunlight Spazzle girl. She came to us to help solve a problem of hers, and all we did was freak out about potential cancellation and walk away to do our own thing. I just think we should probably do the right thing and see how we can help solve her problem."
"Hmm, your right Fluttershy. We didn't really hear much more about herself. Other than the fact that she's a pony from a different version of Equestria than mine," Sunset agreed with Fluttershy, as soon as she finished speaking. "Plus, I wouldn't mind to learn more about her Equestria a little more... for research."
"Well then, If helping her is all alright with ya, then let's do it!" Applejack commands, her leading the way for her friends back to CHS, where Sunlight Spazzle is most likely still, probably.
> Grogar's Walk
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grogar (as in his EQG, human world self (as in when he was initially defeated, he also got banished to this world) is aimlessly walking down the sidewalk in the downtown section of Canterlot City.
Grogar is walking for a reason though. An important reason.
And that reason would be accomplished as Grogar had found the Burger King of whom he’d been looking for.
Walking up to the Burger King, Grogar speaks (or sings, more like it, I guess):
“I walk to Burger King, then I walk back home from Burger King.”
As he had just said (or sung), Grogar walks away, going back to his home, away from the Burger King.
Having done what he exactly wanted to do.
> Maud, Trixie and Mudbriar Are All Stuck On A Desert Island... Wait, What Is The Punchline Again?
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Somewhere out in the middle of the ocean, is a very small, deserted island. So small it looks exactly like the stereotypical small deserted island with just the one palm tree in the exact center of it.
What makes this small deserted island so special? Because Trixie, Maud, and Mudbriar are all stuck on this island. How did they get there in the first place...?
...I don't know. Equestrian magic?
Also, I am sure there is a punchline to all of this. Somewhere.


***


"Who, what, where, how, when?! How did we get here?!?!?!" The Great and Powerful Trixie exclaims over the fact that her, Maud, and Mudbriar are all somehow stuck on a tiny, small deserted island in the middle of the ocean.
"Technically, it's why are we here. Though how is a pretty good, reasonable reaction to our current predicament too." Mudbriar said matter-of-factly in his usual tone of voice. Not even looking the slight worried by their situation.
"Or whom, possibly." Maud chimes in. Her also not looking the slightest worried by their situation.
"Oh! You're not helping!!!!" Trixie angrily shouts to the two of them. "And what we need is a plan to get off of this giant hunk of rock and back on dry land!"
"Actually, technically, we'll still be on a giant hunk of rock once we do get back on dry land." Maud corrects Trixie matter-of-factly.
"Uh huh, yes." Mudbriar agrees, shaking his head up and down.
"Again, not helping!!!" Trixie shouts with pure anger.
Walking away from the two (which is only like, three feet away) Trixie tries to think to herself of a plan to get off this island and back on the mainland.
While she's thinking does hope come alive.
Looking out to the west of them, all three happen to see a cargo ship just on the horizon. Not too far away though for the three of them to try and get its' attention.
"Ship!!!!" Trixie exclaims over, pointing over at it.
"Yes. This part of the ocean is in the middle of a main shipping route. So eventually, we were going to have would've seen something like this-"
"No time to talk! Quick, we gotta think of a way to get that ship's attention!" Trixie interrupts Mudbriar's train of thought.
"I know a way on how we can get its' attention." Maud chips in, Trixie looking (and being) skeptical of Maud's plan.


***


"Capt'n, look, small deserted island off the port bow!!" First Mate Ragamuffin exclaims out loud as so not only his captain can hear but everybody else on the ship, the SS Barnacle Hoy.
"First Mate Ragamuffin, if this is another abandoned ice cream truck, I'm makin' ya scrub the poopdeck for the next nine nautical moons." Captain Benson says annoyingly as he walks on down from his cabin and towards the rail where his first mate is at.
"I was busy doing stuff. This better not be a waste of my time."
"You can continue your nap later Capt'n. Just look!" First Mate Ragamuffin hands to him a telescope, pointing in the exact direction of where the small deserted island is.
Captain Benson grudgingly takes the telescope out of his hand, grumbling to himself as he looks into it to see what all the fuss is all about with his first mate.
Looking out at the small deserted island, the Captain sees, and is immediately in surprise (and shock) as he sees a light blue colored girl, all tied up, a small fire underneath her, and there being two gray colored (one light gray and the other more of a dark gray) people beside her. One of them (the dark gray one) turning a handle, causing the tied up blue colored girl to turn above the fire. Where by other one (the light gray one) is just simply standing there, not really doing anything of importance.
The Captain brings the telescope down from his eyes, handing it back to his first mate, looking as shocked and surprised as ever.
"Well, what'd ya see?" First Mate Ragamuffin asks, seeing that whatever it was surely caught his Captain by surprise.
"Aye. They be cannibals on that rock of land."
"Cannibals?"
"Aye. Me remember the last time Ah tangled with those people. Not since the spring of '83..." Captain Benson takes a long moment of silence, he himself reminiscing, staring off into the ocean and onto the small island. "If ya need me, Ah'll be in my cabin. Tell everyone Ah'll need a minute to myselves'."
"But what should do we do about them?"
"Oui, that's the coast guard's problem now." And just like that, Captain Benson walked on back up to his cabin, mostly to lay down and reminisce about the old times.
"Ah, okay then." First Mate Ragamuffin simply just strugs it off.

"Well, that didn't work." Trixie says annoyed, her now untied.
"Frankly, our plan only had like a forty-three percent chance of succeeding." Mudbriar states.
"Well shoot. That always work with my sister." Maud said.
"Which one?" Trixie said sarcastically while dusting herself off.
"There still is one other plan we can try." Mudbriar suggests to the other two.
"As long as it doesn't involve tying me up and turning me over a fire..., I don't really have much of a choice, do I?" 
Mudbriar smiles at Trixie's question.

"Pardon me, but I'll like one large fry and a fish sandwich. Also a large Diet Coke. Please." Grogar (yes, the same Grogar as from the last chapter) smiles sheepishly, trying to 'be nice'.
"Yes sir mister stranger sir!" The overly enthusiastic fast food cashier said, sounding like a 1900s con artist who lives in the countryside.
"That'll be twelve ninety-nine." The cashier tells to the former 'Father of all Monsters' but from a different universe.
As Grogar reaches into his billfold for the correct amount of cash, the cashier goes over to the soda drink machine, grabbing a large cup, and placing it under the Diet Coke drink dispenser, pushing the button for Diet Coke goodness to come out.
Only, instead of Diet Coke coming out of the dispenser, two teenage girls come out instead.
Yes that's right. Both Trixie and Maud came right out of the soda drink machine's Diet Coke dispenser, both falling down onto the wet, sticky floor.
The cashier rightfully shocked and surprised. Grogar though unfazed as he's too busy looking in his billfold for a nickel. No one else in the restaurant seeming to notice what just happened also.
"Hey wait a minute. We don't even serve fish sandwiches here at Burger King!!!" The cashier shouts out loud as if he just had an epiphany.
"Well, at least we're not stuck on that deserted island anymore." Trixie mumbles to herself, whatever just happened totally not even fazing her.
"Could be worst. At least we're not Mudbriar." Maud said, trying to spin the situation positively.


(At The McDonald's Across The Street)


"Boss, the ice cream machine is broken! Again."
"Technically, that is a lie as you and the rest of the fast food workers here are just too lazy to operate it."
A random forty-year man, while in line, spits out his drink, realizing and shouting out to everyone else in line at this McDonald's: "That's it! That's the punchline!"

"So, explain it to me again."
"You," Rainbow Dash points at Sunlight Spazzle, more specifically the alarm clock she'd brought with her, "Put your alarm clock down on the pavement, and then me and my friends, with the help of 'rainbow lasers', shall vanquish the ever troublesome equestrian magic that has so seemingly taken over your alarm clock!"
"O- okay."
"I wouldn't necessarily had put it that way." Sunset whispers to Twilight.
"Well, here we go." Sunlight says right as she puts down her alarm clock on the pavement of the school's faculty parking lot.
"Alright! Then ready in three, two, one-"
"Hold it!!!!" Rainbow gets interrupted by the sounds of a cranky, crocketchy old man. But not just some ordinary cranky, crocketchy old man, but Grogar himself. (Yes, the same one from the past two chapters.)
"Don't you dare do anything with that monster!!"
All of the girls look unto one another, confused ever so slightly by what is happening. "Uh, monster?" Rainbow asks the old stranger questionably, not seeming to know everything that's happening.
"You don't know. You all really don't know. Fine. Then let me explain." Grogar takes a deep breath.
"Long ago, when I ruled Equestria, from even before Equestria was a thing, I had created all kinds of monsters that were to cause great pain on the ponies inhabiting the land... And that's when I created this," Grogar points at Sunlight Spazzle, "monster," Grogar takes a look over to the seven girls, all of them confused ever so slightly, "I made her appear exactly like what all the ponies look like. Thinking I could trick them into thinking they had a friend, when really, she was an enemy. But I later sensed. I knew, from the moment I had first created her that she would have even bigger plans. Plans bigger than just terrorizing ponykind. And I sensed that plan involved destroying me! So one day, I tracked her down to destroy her myself, only, she'd must've caught a whiff of what I was planning to do. And that's when I saw her. This fiend had gained enough power to open portals leading to other universes. Other worlds to takeover. Ones where so she doesnt have to deal with me. I had to do something. So before she jumped in the portal, I used a power sucking spell, sucking out almost enough magic from her so she'd wouldn't be able to do what she'd just done ever again. Not in my world, nor in any other. It was for the good of all worlds."
"And now, can't you see, that she's using you to use your powers on that," Grogar looks and points down at the alarm clock, actually looking confused and not actually knowing what it is, "thing? So she can suck all your powers up and use them not only against you, but for her evil plans!"
After what they all just heard, all seven of the Humane Seven look on with confusion, bewilderment, and surprise. All silent.
"Wait, hold on! You're Grogar! THE Grogar. The same one I've had learned about from Celestia's School of Magic! You're here?! But how?!?!" Sunset breaks up the silence.
"Indeed it is." Sunlight Spazzle speaks up, though sounding way more menacingly. Not to mention the evil grin on her face.
"So, we meet again, ol' Grogar ol' pal of mine."
"You'll probably wondering how I got here," Sunlight looks towards the Humane Seven, "How I really got here. Simple really. Magic was running aloof one day in that world and a portal just happened to have appeared in front of me. So I took a chance and jumped in. All that I told you was a lie. Made up."
"You two really do know each other?! And you lied?!?!" Sunset said quietly to herself, surprised by this whole revelation.
"Yessir! And once I have all of your magic, I shall finally rule over what's meant to be mine. Now, give me all your magic!!" Sunlight goes full one-hundred-ten percent villain.
All seven of the girls look at her in silence before Rainbow breaks it: "Uh, are you serious?"
"Hm. Playing hard to get, are we? Well then. If you won't give me what I want, then I'll just have to take it."
"Oh no you won't! For I shall stop you. Once," Grogar brings out a small, miniature bell (That looks exactly like his old one from Equestria) out from his pants' pocket, "And for all!!"
"Huh. So I guess if it's a battle you want," Sunlight pulls her phone out from her pants' pocket, "Then a battle, you shall get!"
While the two beings from a different universe are busy getting ready for a fight, the Humane Seven all share their thoughts on what's happening right in front of them amongst themselves.
"Ah, any of y'all following this?" Applejack asks in confusion.
"Nope," Rarity replies.
Fluttershy shakes her head nervously.
"Maybe in my sleep!" Twilight freaks out a little over.
"You mean you don't know that Sunlight Spazzle is actually a monster from Equestria, created by Grogar himself, only she got too ambiguous as having plans to want to rule Equestria all for herself, causing Grogar to have to banish her to another universe, and she got here, in this universe, because of magic gone aloof there." Pinkie summarizes fast out loud for all of her friends to understand.
"Uh, no," Sunset flatly says, "And we need to make sure she doesn't get any of our magic. Plus, we should also do something about Grogar there. I just don't trust him."
"Sounds about right," Rainbow agrees upon, "But, what should we do now? Should we evaluate the whole school? 'Cause this fight that they're about to do could get messy."
"Absolutely. Girls, you each have a section of the school to evaluate. We'll get everyone out onto the field out behind the building. We'll meet there when we'll all done. Kaplesh?" Sunset tells of all her friends of what to do.
"Kapleesh!" They all agree.
While Sunlight Spazzle and Grogar are both still busy preparing to do battle on one another, all seven of the girls go running into the school.  Warning practically everyone of what could possibly go down right in front of CHS. Evaluating everyone from student to faculty, leading them all out towards the field back behind the school building. For the next fifteen minutes or so, the Humane Seven had worked so desperately to try to evaluate the whole school. There would be plenty of students willing to go with them, then there would be that handful of students too stubborn enough to go with them. Like, as they would say, 'why would I possibly want to go with you when I can eat this whole, nine-pound burrito from Cost-It Mart.'
"Is this everyone? Do we have everyone?!" Sunset asks either one of her friends, each of them all outside on the grass of the field, along with the rest of the other students and faculties of whom they had just evaluated.
"Yes, I think so," Rainbow Dash answers her, "No matter what happens, I would just like for you all to know that-"
Rainbow Dash would get cut off from what she's saying as a huge mushroom cloud explosion occurs from the other side of the school.
The last thing Sunset Shimmer sees of this world is all of her friends before everything around her turns to white.
> A Meeting Inside Hasbro Headquarters
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hasbro Headquarters
Pawtucket, Rhode Island
Hasbro Executive Meeting Conference Room

"Well, ladies and gentlemen of this conference room, now that that "equestria girls" whole schruff is now officially over, more specifically cancelled, we can now focus all of our energy on G5." The Head Hasbro Executive speaks out to the other nine execs in the conference room, each one having a seat at the long, oval shaped table.
Hearing what the exec had just said, each one of them simultaneously claps their hands in approval and applause.
Once they all finish clapping does Hasbro Exedutoe Number Six speak up over the room: "It's really is a shame of how we ended it. Considering what the writers had developed. Plus the "you-know-whos" seemed to had enjoyed it."
"Uh huh." Each executive said at once as they all shake their heads simultaneously in creepy fashion.
"Welp," Executive Number Six speaks back up, "So sad indeed, but time to move on." The exec says as he walks over to an 'Equestria Girls' promotional poster on the wall, and with one strong pull does he easily rip the poster off. Then throwing the ripped poster in his hands into a nearby trash bin.
"Now we can start with 'generation five'."
All of the Hasbro Executives laugh to themselves menacingly. Of how they just ended the fourth generation of 'My Little Pony' and ate now moving on with the fifth.
And all in the name of the mighty dollar.
"Hey! We're not greedy, we're just bored of the G4!"


***
(In The G4 Endspere)


After everything that happen, from the fall formal to now, Sunset Shimmer doesn't know, for once, what just happened.
How Grogar and Sunlight Spazzle both just randomly, magically, showed up in her world? How their immediate battle had immediately lead to the utter destruction of her world? How she's never gonna see her friends ever again?!?!
Sunset looks all around her. Shocked and surprised by her new surroundings.
Everything being white. Nothing but white for at least miles on end.
"This all can't be happening?! This is a dream, and I'm gonna wake up soon. When I open my eyes, yes, my friends will still be there! Everything will still be there!!" Sunset tries to calm herself down, hoping everything will go back the way it was. Closing her eyes and opening them immediately. Though that doesn't do the trick, yet it doesn't stop her from doing the same thing over and over again, desperately hoping the next time she opens her eyes will be different.
"Pinch me, I must be dreaming!!!" Sunset yells out all throughout the white space, constantly pinching her wrist. Hoping desperately again that this'll do the trick and everything will be back to normal.
Though that doesn't do it.
Realizing and accepting defeat, Sunset gets down on her knees, holding herself tight, and weeps softly. That weeping eventually turning to crying.
Everyone Sunset had known, her friends specifically, gone forever. Sunset coming to the conclusion that she'd lost everything. It's just only her now, in this weird, white place.
As Sunset continues to cry her eyes (and heart) out, does she not hear the clip-clops of a pony's hooves clopping over to her. As the clopping of hooves gets louder does Sunset lift her head up and see through teary eyes, the pink pony standing right above her.
"Twi... Twilight?" Sunset pleadingly asks the pony.
The pony looks at her inquisitively, in confusion.
"Sorry. My name's Luster Dawn. And the pony of whom you've mention... is no longer with us." Luster Dawn clears everything up, though saying the last part somberly.
Hearing this, Sunset gets even more teary eyed, until she finally decides to suck it up, getting the newfound strength to stand herself up.
"And how do you know?! Princess Twilight knows what to do, and when I find her... she'll, make everything right... and back to normal..." Sunsets starts out confidently, only to return back to her earlier state of somber, soon enough crouching back down and holding herself tight, crying tears of even more sadness.
Luster Dawn, seeing the absolute state of Sunset, lowers herself down by her, placing a hoof on a shoulder for comfort.
"There there. I know what you're going through. Believe me, I've done the same thing." Luster comfortly says.
Sunset looks through even more teary eyes at the pony by her side.
"Done the same thing?"
Luster smiles at her. "It's a long story. But I'll just say, Equestria is no more. Gone forever."
Sunset's gets even more teary eyed.
"Why is this all happening?" Sunset mumbles in between sobs of sadness.
"Because you've been cancelled. Your whole world has," Sunset perks her head up, a little intrigued by the pony's choice of words, "It happened to my world first. I... I still remember the faces of everypony when it happened," Luster wipes a tear from her eye, "It was... what you are experiencing now."
"Why are we being cancelled?!" Sunset asks somberly.
"Because of them," The whole scene magically turns into that of the Hasbro Executive conference room, all of the execs seated at their spot at the table. Not acknowledging the pony and human in the room with them. Neither them acknowledging the execs either, "They're executives hired by Hasbro. They made both our worlds exist..., and end. They ended our worlds for the new generation."
"New generation?" Sunset asks inquisitively, getting back up on her feet.
The whole scene magically turns back into the white void it was before.
"My little pony, A New Generation. G5."
"What are we gonna do about all of this?"
"We, are gonna go and see this new generation for ourselves. While I was here waiting for you did I happen to learn a spell that'll take us to the new "new" Equestria. So, ya wanna join me?"
"I don't know. Everything is just happening so fast. I need a few minutes, no, months, to process everything."
"Fair enough. We'll rest here, then we'll go and check it out."
"Okay." Sunset, with newfound confident, nods her head in approval. Starting to go back to her true self.
Luster Dawn and Sunset Shimmer both hoof-and-fist bump in of their newfound partnership.
"Alright, we'll rest here then-"
Sunset gets cuts off as another portal magically appears in the white plane, the portal soon enough spitting out Pony Life Rarity, before the portal immediately phases out and away from them all.
"My my, where am I?!"
"Oh right, pony life is technically considered G4." Both Sunset and Luster say simultaneously in unknowing-but-still-knowing-matter.
