> modernised and ponified Phantom of the Opera > by GRYFFINDOR123456 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > prologue(a beauty and the beast beginning) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once upon a time, there was a girl named Sunset Shimmer. Sunset was a girl with fiery red hair. Sunset was hideous. She was a human girl, with demonic wings and a face of a demon. Now, Sunset was angry and insecure. She bullied people, until one day, she murdered one of her classmates, luckily not a significant one, Wallflower Blush. Henceforth, she was expelled promptly. Sunset felt more angry and insecure than ever, so she decided to live in the basement below the school. She vowed she would never “wake up” and would from then on hide her face behind a white mask. Sunset had one thing to keep her company; her guitar, which she was extremely gifted with. But all that would change when she met a new girl in the band The Sonic Rainbooms. > chapter 1: TWILIGHT > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I looked up at the enormous school. I adjusted my glasses. I took a deep breath. “Okay, Twilight,” I said. “Let’s do this.” I pushed open the glass door and stepped inside. Everywhere were green lockers, and students. I’m Twilight Sparkle, a scientist, a former pupil at Crystal Prep Academy and an opera singer in training. My mother is a writer. My father is a police officer. I’ve always dreamt of discovering things. But I love to sing too. I looked around me. Okay, so I had to find Principal Celestia’s office to collect my schedule. I went into her office. “Ah, Twilight Velvet Sparkle?” asked Principal Celestia. “Yes,” I said. “Here’s your schedule,” she said. “Welcome to Canterlot High. Now, Applejack will show you around.” A girl with long blonde hair, tied in a plait, waved at me. “This is Applejack. Applejack, meet Twilight.” “Howdy,” said Applejack. “I’m mighty pleased ter meet you, Twilight.” I smiled. “Well, if you could make sure she doesn’t go in the basement,” said Principal Celestia. “Yep, will do,” said Applejack. “Hey,” said a male voice. “The name’s Flash. Flash Sentry.” “This is Twilight,” said Applejack. “Twilight Sparkle. Now, Flash, ya great baffoon, leave us. I’m supposed to give her a tour of the school.” > Chapter 2: The Boorish Brainless Flash Sentry > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I had been at CHS for a week. I made friends with the Sonic Rainbooms and that boy I met on my first day, Flash Sentry, wouldn’t stop bothering me. Bloody hell, why can’t that boy leave me alone? Anyway, this morning, he came over to my house to ask me on a date. Obviously, I said no. I didn’t want him. He was nice, sure. But he wasn’t smart, well, smart enough for me. I wanted someone who was on the same wavelength as me, who could understand what I was talking about. I pushed my glasses onto my nose. Would I ever find the right person for me? I sighed. I walked into the band room. “What’s up?” asked Rainbow Dash. “Flash Fucking Sentry,” I snarled. “He keeps bothering the shit out of me.” “Wow, you’re angry,” said Fluttershy in her softly spoken tone. “He’s so stupid,” I continued. “Can’t he see I don’t want him? He’s good-looking and nice. Sure. But he’s dumb. Can you imagine? Me, the wife of that brainless boy?” I sighed. “Maybe we should take you to the cellar,” said Rainbow Dash. “Why?” I asked. “You’ll see,” replied Rainbow Dash. > The phantom > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The girls led me to the cellar, “Open up, Sunset!” yelled Applejack. “ We’re your friends. We brought you a woman to help ya,” The door creaked opened. There was a sad melody playing on a guitar. “Sunset, please,” begged Rainbow Dash. “We’re not gonna hurt you. Please. Take down your hood.” A pair of cyan eyes stared at me. The dark figure put down her hood. A bush of unkempt red-gold hair was revealed. Her face was hidden by a white mask. A pair of red horns were upon her hair. But why did she wear a mask? I pulled off her mask impulsively. She screamed. I had seen her before. In my dreams. After our rather strange duet, she put on her mask. I understood why she hid her face. > Getting to know the phantom > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- She took back her mask. “I’m so sorry,” I said. “I didn’t know.” “It’s okay,” she replied. “I forgive you.” She smiled, putting back on her mask. “So,” she said. “You’re new here? This prophecy is coming true.” “I’m Twilight Sparkle,” I said. “Oh.” She said. “Uh, well, they call me Sunset. Sunset Shimmer.” “It’s a nice name,” I said “For someone as ugly as me?” Replied Sunset. “Darling, you deserve that name,” said Rarity. Sunset smiled. “Thanks. I have never seen the light. I've watched from my small window everyone laughing.” My phone pinged. It was Flash. “Gotta dash,” I said. “Flash Sentry wants me.” Sunset laughed. She put her claw to her abdomen. She grunted. “He raped me,” she whispered. “I’m having his child.” Oh. I smiled, waving. The girls led me out of the cellar and back towards the main part of the school. > A whole new world > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After school finished, I walked home. “Hey, Twilight,” said Flash as he stepped beside me. He led me into a dark alley. He gagged me, tying me to a post, as he stripped me. I grunted. I think he was trying to have non-consensual stuff with me. “I love you, Twi,” he said as he untied me and ungagged me. SUNSET. I groaned, sitting down in the chair. The baby Flash and I had was kicking me again. I stood up as Twilight came in. “Hey,” she said. I smiled. “Hey, Twilight,” I replied. I grunted in pain, as I fell to the floor. “We have to get you out of here,” said Twilight. “Come on. Lean on me.” We went out of the cellar. I’ve never seen the world, well, since my expulsion. Twilight seemed to know what I was thinking. She led me out, through the city, to her house. She lay me down on her bed, on a pink towel. “Push,” she said. “Breathe.” I pushed and breathed. Okay. Relax. Twilight brought out a baby girl. I smiled. “I was thinking Rebecca,” I said shyly. Twilight laughed. She went out to register the birth of my daughter. > Falling in love > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight visited me everyday. To check on me. She told me that Flash also raped her, and we had a lot in common. I began to open up, telling her about myself. I guess we began to fall in love. “I’ll take you to see the floating lights,” said Twilight. “They do it every year to commentate Wallflower Blush.” I blushed. I killed that girl. “They do it tomorrow,” continued Twilight. “Are you okay, Sunset?” “I’m fine,” I replied. She smiled. The door swung open. Flash stood there. “What are you doing here?” I asked. “I’m looking for Twilight. I was wondering if she’d like to come to see the floating lights tomorrow.” he replied. “No,” replied Twilight. “After you did that to me, I don’t want to be friends. I’m going with Sunset.” I smiled. This would be the start of Flash’s mission to kill me. > I see the light > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight led me to the tower at the top of Canterlot High. It was a long time since I was last here. We sat at the edge of the roof, staring at the lanterns as they rose up into the air. She smiled. She wrapped her arm around me. “Adorable!” cried Rarity. “Just like Flynn and Rapunzel!” teased Rainbow Dash. We blushed. “Oh no you don’t!” shouted Flash. I stood up, handing my baby daughter to Twilight. “Leave us alone,” I snarled. Flash and I wrestled, me having the upper hand. I ripped off my mask, spreading my wings. “You love her, don’t you?” sneered Flash. “I love her too. Only one will get her.” > The fight > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Fine,” I sighed. “Deal.” I flew into the air. Flash pulled out the gun from his pocket. “NO!” Shouted Twilight. As I flew closer to my ex, he pulled the trigger. I yelled out in pain, as the bullet went straight into my abdomen as I plummeted to the roof of the school. Flash circled me. “Not so tough, are you? I’ll take the child.” He snatched the baby out of Twilight’s arms. The baby wailed. I grunted in pain. Flash stabbed me in my abdomen. I grunted again. Twilight looked at me. I stood up, clutching my wound with one claw. Flash and I fought. He was at the edge of the roof. He stumbled backwards, falling to his death along with the baby. I collapsed. Twilight dragged me to safety. I grunted again in pain. She gently moved my hand aside. “It’s deep,” she said. She smiled. “You’ll be okay,”she said. I smiled softly. “Twi. Did I tell you... I... love... you?” She grinned. “I can’t lose you,” she said. I grunted again. “I can’t... I think I’m gonna go... Twi?” “Yes?” “Stay...” I coughed. “With... me.” I closed my eyes. My wings were folded in. My heart stopped. > Gone(epilogue) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TWILIGHT. No. This can’t be. She’s dead. I shook her broken, limp body. She’s gone. That fucking bastard Flash. I sighed. I looked at her. She looked so peaceful. And I think I’ll bury her myself.
