Trailer 1

Sunset shimmer walked into a room before laying down on a couch and sighing. “So, where do I begin?”

The screen goes black as a roar is heard before shifting back to her.

“Oh, ever since I went through the portal to take Princess Twilight's crown and gain its power things have been…hectic.”

Laughter is heard as flames dance across the backdrop.

“The magic from Equestria has been leaking into here same as ever so, THAT hasn’t changed. I’ve also been taking my meds so, yeah that’s still the same thankfully.”

Clanking is heard as a shadow of a sword is raised over a terrified person as it’s brought in a slash of finality.

“Though things have been a bit more…”

A crime scene is shown with a severely injured person being brought into an ambulance on a stretcher.

“…dangerous.”

Screen goes black before switching back to Sunset.

“And I guess maybe I feel like it’s only a matter of time before things get more…permanent. And that it’s all gonna be my fault.”

A scene is shown with her friends looking beat up and bruised with at least one of them missing a limb. Everyone looks hopeless and screams are heard in the background before Sunset shoots up in her bed panting and sweating. The scene then shifts back to her on the couch.

“Too dark?” She sighs before concentrating again. “What else?” She smacks her lips while thinking. “Oh I know.”

The scene shifts to some of her friends landing on the roof of a short building.

“Rainbow got Rarity to make these fun masks and clothes with more toned down colors for all of us to go with the ‘superhero’ theme. Which I admit is kind of cool.”

A mugger is shown about to rob a woman before being knocked out. Then out of the shadows comes Sunet wearing an orange and red domino mask with a flame colored jumpsuit with padding.

“Though that comes with its own set of problems.”

The woman screamed as she started hitting Sunset with her purse.

“Wait, I’m not mugging you I’m-Ow!”

Scene shifts back to Sunset who was wincing at the memory.

“Though I suppose it’s for the better, we have actually stopped some crime, and we do it on a daily schedule, one person for each day”. She chuckled at the coincidence before turning to a more somber look.

“Besides, people here at Canterlot keep their mouths shut but it’s better for all of us if we keep from being associated with magic on a widespread plane. We are still teenagers after all. If people knew we specifically had magic they would come to our doors and we’d never have any peace. Unfortunately, people outside our school have been looking into what happens around us on online forum pages, and trust me, when people get into magic without preparation…”

A green glowing stone is shown in a lab as multiple people test it.

“…things get messy.”

She flashes back to the time she turned into a demon.

“But other than that, I think things have going pretty well.” Her eyes then widened as she remembered something. “Oh,” she said as she turned to the one who was listening.

“I think I’m in love with Pinkie Pie.”

Scene shifts to a dragon roaring before it stops and freezes along with everyone else at the scene, which then shifts to Sunset looking sheepish.

“Should I have started with that?”

No one ever said friendship was easy

The scene shows the girls fighting off vines inside a room.

“Friendships always go through challenges, internal and external.”

But it is

It then shows a building exploding.

“But the best ones…”

The best thing

It shows Rainbow speeding across a highway.

“…are worth that challenge.”

Ever

All seven of them are sitting at a pastry shop clinking their glasses together in cheers.

Adventures of the Equestria Girls

The scene then shows Trixie and Sunset walking down the halls before Trixie pulls out her phone. “You know, the media started calling these magical girls the most interesting names.” She smirked as showed Sunset the news channel on her phone which was talking about the magical girls which had been appearing recently.

“…to the notice of horse ears on these costumed females, people have dubbed them on the internet, the ‘Equestria Girls’.” Trixie then turned her phone off.

Sunset looked flabbergasted at what the reporter said. “That’s…no, just no.” She said as she walked away.

“Then what do you want people to call y- them ?”

“You don’t have to be secretive when it’s just us. I don’t think anyones gonna be around here during these hours. And not…that .” She said in reference to the name.

“What about the Super 7?”

“…”

“The Rainbow Lasers?”

She says nothing as she walks away from her.

“Ooh how about the- Sunset wait!” Trixie yelled as she ran after her.

Coming soon!

Sunset Shimmer walks down the street, wearing a hoodie with the hood up because it’s cold.

“I had nothing when I came to this world.”

Her friends flash across her mind, one by one.

“Now I have everything.”

She then pulled her hood off, and let her hair flow in the wind.

“And I’m gonna fight for it.”

The scene stops as it slowly shifts to a black cloaked figure with a white hiruko mask.

“That would be a mistake.” Its warped voice speaks as it slashes at the screen with its claws.

Fight for your friends…

“I can handle this.” Rainbow says as she goes to hang up her phone.

…risk everything.

“People are dead! This isn’t a game!” Fluttershy screams before the call is dropped.

“See that’s the beautiful thing about friends.” The warped voice speaks as it walks away. “They never leave you…”

A car explodes.

“…Even when they should.”

Now's the time

Rarity’s on her couch crying.

To believe

Twilight is crawling on the ground in a cave, alone.

Applejack is leaning against a wall while sitting down, face in her hands.

The Magic of Friendship

A man with a gun walks towards a girl in a burning building, holding his gun and ready to shoot her. “Any last words you bitch?”

The girl in question fluffs her pink hair and looks at him in rage. “Fuck you.” Pinkie Pie in her hero costume said before she smiles and the screen cuts out.

Sunset Shimmer's voice is heard. She sounds desperate.

“I can’t do this alone. I need my friends.”

“Oh we’ll get to that later.” The warped voice spoke. “But aren’t you curious to find out where it’s coming from? You know.

“The magic?”

Everything starts spinning with Sunset in the center of it.

“Typical Sunset. Wants desperately to solve the problem. Won’t do the one thing that fixes it cause it inconveniences her.”

The Adventures of the Equestria Girls

Rainbow Dash is sitting in an office, likely in an interview. She tenses as a man comes in with a clipboard and sits down.

“Wonderbolts generally stay in the air due to our profiency air shows. But it’s also important that we constantly be in peak physical state. So what’s your top running speed?”

Scene shifts to Rainbow Dash in her hero costume bursting out of the window of the top floor of a 50 story building as an explosion that spreads throughout the building chases her as she runs down the wall of the building.

Rainbow Dash bites her lip. “You’d be hard pressed to find someone faster.

It was past 3:00 pm, school had already been let out. Anyone there would either be hanging out with their friends or in a club. Sunset Shimmer was doing both.

She had honestly had her doubts about this, but she needed somep-someone, she always stumbled over phrasing in her head, to talk to. And Starlight was able to talk from experience, so her advice on who to talk to likely had some merit.

Student student counseling. Not really a club persay, but it was registered as one. Students would come and talk about their issues or anything they needed to get off their chest, with a student. Not a professional, just a student. She had to admit it had its merits. People were more likely to open up to a fellow student than someone they didn’t know. Plus, that student was sworn to confidentiality, so that was nice.

As she walked into the unused room, she spotted the couch she was supposed to sit on. How did she get in here? She asked herself in thought before realizing she didn’t need to know. All the benefits of this new club helped, but the main reason she had been one of the people to sign up to be one of the first people to talk was because of who she was talking to. She sighed as she laid down on her back on the couch

“Glad you could make it. Now tell your great and powerful student student counselor what ails you!”

Her head turned to see the blue skinned girl sitting in a chair facing the couch. Apparently constantly being mocked for having bad magic tricks made her pretty good at relating to people who felt powerless, stressed, terrified, and overwhelmed.

“I’m still trying to process why you of all people started this club.” Sunset spoke as she smirked at friend. Not that she wasn’t a nice person, but she could often be one track mind type of person.

“We’re not here to talk about me…” She stated as she gestured to herself. “...We are here to talk about you.” She said as she gestured to her with annunciation.

Wow, she was a professional. She sighed as she looked upwards. “So, where do I begin? Oh, ever since I went through the portal to take Princess Twilight's crown and gain its power things have been…hectic. The magic from Equestria has been leaking into here same as ever so, THAT hasn’t changed. I’ve also been taking my meds so, yeah that’s still the same thankfully.” She frowned as she remembered something.

“Though things have been a bit more… dangerous and I guess maybe I feel like it’s only a matter of time before consequences get more…permanent, and that it’s all gonna be my fault.” She winced as she realized how much she had just unloaded on to her street magician friend. “Too dark?”

She saw that Trixies mouth had been gaped open for some time, though she quickly closed it and pulled out a clipboard. “There is no issue too dark for the great and powerful Trixie! Continue.”

She rolled her eyes at the theatrics with a smile on her face. Same old Trixie. “What else?” She smacks her lips while thinking. “Oh I know. Rainbow got Rarity to make these fun masks and clothes with more toned down colors for all of us to go with the ‘superhero’ theme. Which I admit is kind of cool. Though actually getting us all to do it was a whole other thing entirely.”

……

A couple days earlier…

High school. A place of learning, peace, and-

A loud sound was made as a newspaper was slammed down in front of one Rainbow Dash. Her friends looked at this in shock as Sunset looked at her rainbow haired friend with a confronting gaze.

“Mugging attempts stopped in an instant.” Sunset recited from memory as she looked at Rainbow. “Care to explain?”

The person in question sweated nervously as she spoke. “That could’ve been anything, you know how unreliable newspapers are.”

Sunset raised her eyebrow as she spoke again. “Would be victim reports seeing a flash of a rainbow.”

“............You know how unreliable a persons eyes are? Hehe.” She chuckled nervously. Needless to say, Sunset was not amused.

“You’ve been going out to the city to fight crime! Do you know how reckless that is!?” She yelled angrily.

“I have superspeed, I’ll be fine.” She rebutted nonchalantly. “In fact, you guys should give it a try, you might enjoy it.”

Sunset looked like she was about to pop a vein. She was about to yell again when Applejack got between them.

“Now hold on, Ah know ya mean well Sunset, but have ya considered listening ta why Rainbows doing this?” She said, trying to defuse the situation.

“Oh I’m doing it cause I’m awesome and it would be 20 percent less cooler to not do it.” Applejacks face dropped as she heard Rainbow speak from behind her, while Sunset went around Applejack to face Rainbow as her face portrayed more anger.

“What do you think we are? Superheroes?”

“Okay,” She stood up. “I already had this argument with Twilight and I won. We saved the-”

“Yacht, yes I was there. One little problem with your argument, we solve issues that encounter us. We don’t actively look for a fight! We are highschool students, not some…” She tried to figure out a word as she gestured to her. “Teenage vigilantes! It’s reckless, and stupid, and a waste of time!”

“Oh, so now it’s a waste of time to save people?” She asked snarkily, causing Sunset to stammer. “You know what? I’m out!” She said as she picked up her things and headed to the door. And she would’ve gotten out, had Sunset not grabbed her arm.

“Look,” She sighed as she calmed down. “this is dangerous, and I’m worried if you keep going out looking for danger, you’ll get hurt.” She said, speaking genuinely.

“Well, thanks, but I don’t need that.” She said as she yanked her arm away. “See ya!” And with that, she sped off.

“Rainbow w- and she’s gone.” She said as she was literally left in the dust. Stupid super speed. She thought as she kicked the ground. Flashes of her friends on the floor bleeding flew through her mind.

Shit. She thought before she turned to her friends. “See you guys tomorrow!” She said as she ran down the hallway and out of the school. Not willing to stop before she could see the place where she lived. She then speed walked to open the door and practically barged into her current place of residence. She then hurried up the stairs as she panted from the exhaustion. She then stumbled into her room as the flashes of nightmares got worse. She found the shelf where what she was looking for was and swept everything else off so she could get to it. She smiled as she opened the container of her meds and popped one in her mouth. She then laid her back on her bed as she felt herself get better.

She had honestly thought these things were a bunch of hooey when she first found out about them, but these have actually helped with her recurring nightmares about…things. She was supposed to take them at a set time every day, but like an idiot she forgot. She groaned at her own stupidity, and then thought about how Rainbow Dash just ran off without any consideration for her.

Rainbow can do whatever she wants. Long as she doesn’t come crying to me when the consequences come.

Albeit she didn’t see any consequences that could come from this, she knew there were, there always were. And it wasn’t as if she didn’t get where Rainbow was coming from, though she couldn’t see how her powers could save someone from being mugged. What was she gonna do? Read the mind of the mugger? She'd know his identity before she was beaten up.

Whatever

She thought as she closed her eyes on her bed.

I can deal with this later.

……

The next morning…

The sun was shining and the birds were chirping, as per usual. And the students were talking in the halls, as per usual. Teachers were beginning to teach, as per usual. And 6 best friends were talking in the time they had before class, as per usua-

Wait.

Sunset did a recount of everyone there. Pinkie, Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, oh and herself. Yep, all 6 of-

“Where’s Rainbow!?” She suddenly yelled as she realized that they had 10 minutes before class started and Rainbow Dash, the one with super speed, was nowhere to be seen. “Shit, did something happen? Is she dead in a ditch somewhere? Is-”

“Darling, do calm down.” Rarity said as she put her hand on her shoulder, making her stop scratching her head to look at her. “She’s probably just somewhere else in the school and is avoiding you because of your argument from yesterday.”

“um…”

“Yeah!” Pinkie said as she put her arm around Sunsets shoulders. “She’s probably just seeing how many laps she can run around the school before the clock strikes ten and all the cake gets eaten at the mall!”

“um…”

“While that's probably not what’s happening,” Appljack said in regards to Pinkie’s suggestion. “They’re right in not assuming the worst, you should to.”

“Um…”

“They’re right, the odds of something bad happening to the only one of us with super speed aren’t that high, but still, your stressing yourself out and that isnt healthy for anyone.” Twilight said as she gripped both Sunsets shoulders. “Promise us you’ll calm down?”

“Guys?”

Sunset sighed as she realized her friends were right. She shouldn’t stress herself out over something so small. “I pro-”

“GUYS!”

Shocked by the yell, they all looked to the source, which was a fuming Fluttershy. “IjustgotwordfrommybirdfriendsthatRainbowscurrentlystillasleepinherbedathomeandthey’reunabletowakeherup!” She said rapidly before calming down to recover her breath.

“Huh, well thats a relief.” Sunset said as she immediately relaxed. She wasn’t in danger or anything. She was just asleep! “Guess there isn’t anything for us to worry about.” They only danger here was Rainbow being late for class which, weirdly enough for someone with super speed, was a common occurrence! This was fine, everything was-

“Attention students.” Vice Principal Luna's voice rang over the speakers. “To combat students being tardy to class, me and the officials of the school have implemented a new policy. Starting soon students who fail to show up to class without a proper excuse or are late, will be suspended-”

The entire student body let out a collective gasp.

“-for a week-”

Another hivemind gasp was sent out.

“-and in addition to suspension, will be unable to so much as attend a school game for this duration.”

They all held their breaths, in case another bombshell was about to be dropped to save gasping energy.

“That is all, I shall alert you to when we start doing these ‘Suspension Days.’” And with that, her voice cut out, and the halls were silent. Everyone let out a collective sigh, happy there were no more bombshells to be dropped.

“Also the first one is today, don’t be late.” She spoke briefly before going silent. This did not cause the students to gasp, however, it did cause them to be sent into a panic. They all rushed to get to their classes, some even slamming others against the lockers. The girls themselves found refuge in the bathroom, gasping as they pulled themselves out of the rampage of desperate students.

“Okay, we need a plan, how are we gonna get to class?” Twilight asked her friends. Wait, her friends!

“What about Rainbow Dash!? She’s at home with no idea what’s happening!” Sunset realized, causing the others to panic. This only increased with the next revelation by Rarity. “ It gets worse darlings, the Wonder Colts are playing the Shadow Bolts in three days. Without Rainbow our team is sure to lose!”

“Um, maybe the rest of team can pick up the slack?” Fluttershy asked timidly.

“Name one other member.” In the minds of all the girls, there was a struggle to remember the name of any of the other girls from the team. Needless to say, they failed.

“Yeah, we need Rainbow Dash.” Fluttershy agreed as the rest nodded.

“But how do ya reckon we get to her house and back within ten minutes? And how do we even get inside?” Applejack asked worryingly, causing the others faces to be clouded with doubt.

Sunset watched as this happened and thought about what they could do before coming up with an idea.

“Rarity, use your power to make a surfboard thing and get to her house, you can take the spare key I have to her house.”

“You have a spare to her house?” Rarity asked. "I thought it was only mine?" She asked as the other girls started speaking up.

“I have one to all of your houses.” She said offhandedly, revealing she had asked them all seperately, before continuing. “Can you do it Rarity?” She said as she tossed her a key.

The fashionista in question nodded her head in affirmation. “Once you get there she can superspeed you both back. But that won’t work if there are still students crowding the hall. The rest of us need to work out how to calm this rampaging sea of students.”

“Um, darling? Good plan, but how am I supposed to get out of here?” Rarity said as she gestured to the bathroom they were in. Sunset simply smiled.

“You ever heard of Ms. Marvel 2022?”

……

Rarity yelped as she nearly stumbled off the crystal platforms she made to leap above the students. There wasn’t enough space to make a full board, so the logic of making small, footprint sized crystals to keep her above the crowd fit.

The sheer danger of it did not!

No one ever told her how dangerous this was to do in heels.

The things I do…” she said as she burst out of the school and landed on the crystalline platform she made to be used as a surfboard and sped off.

“…For a friend!”

……

“So how are we going to calm the crowd?” Fluttershy asked after Rarity left. The others looked in uncertainty before Pinkie cleared her throat. They all turned to her as she reached into an alternate dimension, an endless void if you will.

Her hair.

She moved her arm around for a bit before she pulled out two bull horns, and a key to the room where they practiced their instruments.

The others' uncertainty pulled a complete 180 as they saw the tools.

……

There was once a general who sailed through a cold, dark, rampaging, rapid river, in the dead of night with only a lantern to light his way. He had to lead his men through this river that had earned the name death trap, to surprise the opposing army.

He would think twice about stepping into the chaos that currently was the hallways of this highschool. Students were struggling to get to their classroom even more so than before. The students that couldn’t keep pace were being swept away, carrying them farther from their intended destination. At this rate, everyone was gonna be suspended for a week.

Suddenly, pink explosions lit up the ceiling as all the lights were turned off, except for one. And under that light were five girls holding their instruments.

“Canterlot high!” Sunset spoke through her bull horn. The students looked amazed as she was levitating, or being levitated. “What’s all this ruckus I see? Whatever happened to that Canterlot high spirit?”

The students realized what they were doing now that they weren’t moving anymore, and actually looked quite sheepish and guilty about their actions.

“Now we only have 7 minutes, so let’s make this quick.” With that, Applejack struck a chord on her bass, and everyone else started to play their instruments, only to realize one thing…

…they didn’t have a song.

“Fluttershy!” Sunset whisper-shouted. “Please tell me you have a song for this!”

“No I don’t have a song for this!” She said back even quieter. “It takes time to write a song and I never thought there would be a situation like this!” She said before blushing and hiding her head in hair.

“Okay, ummm, time to improvise. Applejack!” She said as she turned to the orange skinned girl. “Can you play a dosey do-type song? I’ll just make up the lyrics as we go along!”

“What does that even-“

“Just start playing!”

Immediately, Applejack started on bass while everyone else kept pace. Twilight was keeping everyone in the air.That left Sunset to sing.

“Alright y’all, now I’m gonna give some instructions and if we all follow them then we’re all gonna get to class on time! Alright one, two, three, go!” She spoke with a southern affectation to keep the theme.

“Alright grab your classmate, spin em round, dosey do, then take ‘em around! Get to class, make it quick, better not get that tardy slip!”

The friends watched as the students got the gist of it and grabbed their first period classmate. After that it was a simple matter of bringing them to class in tune with the rhythm and dancing.

“Five minutes till class starts.”

Sunset and the others winced at the speaker. They had to give it to Luna, they were definitely more worried about getting to class!

“Okay let’s speed this up.” Sunset said as she looked around while the music played before her eyes lit up. “Bulk Biceps! Grab anyone you see from your first period class!”

He nodded as he grabbed multiple students and spun them around in tandem with the song. This unintentionally knocked other students into their own classrooms, within the minute, the hallway had been cleared.

“Yes!” Sunset and the others cheered as they were lowered to the ground. “Mission accomplished and- Rarity’s not here, what’s taking her so long?” She said as she realized how much time had passed.

……

With Rarity…

“Come on! Come on!” Rarity begged as she tried to get the door open with the key while rapidly ringing the doorbell. “Who made this key anyway? It keeps getting stuck!”

……

“Umm, okay 4 minutes and counting, uhhh, Twilight hack the clock!” She said as she pointed to the girl in question, who looked at her in shock.

“That’s not how time works! Or hacking! I can’t just sit down and hack something on the spot, it takes time, and… Well I have the knowledge so really for me it just takes time, but that wouldn’t stop time from moving forward. Not to mention that that’s, oh what’s the word? ILLEGAL!”

“You’re right, electric clocks and watches still move forward, we need a new plan.” She said as she went into deep thought.

“Missing the point but okay.” She spoke on deaf ears.

“Ugh! I can’t think of anything!” She yelled as she kicked a locker and started scratching her head in stress. What could she do? What could she-

“Sunset!” She was pulled out of her panic by multiple voices shouting her name. She opened her eyes to see her friends looking down at her, and she realized that she had sat down at one point. “You’ve done everything you can at this point, let’s just get to class.” Twilight said as she reached her hand out. Smiling, Sunset took it, and they both headed to class. Pinkie even got cupcakes for all of them. Free of hair, of course.

…

At Rainbow's house…

Abandoning the key, Rarity picked the lock and rushed into the house. Prior experience meant she knew where her friend's room was. Barging in, she saw her friend's tortoise, Tank, trying to wake her up. Awwing at the cuteness of it for a second, she then gripped her friends shirt and yanked her up, which fortunately woke her up.

“IF YOU DON’T SPEED US TO SCHOOL RIGHT NOW WE’RE BOTH GOING TO BE EXPELLED.” So she lied a bit, could you blame her? And it had the positive benefit of jolting her friend into full throttle, as evidenced by her eyes widening. Suddenly, the room was a blur of rainbow and she was yanked out of the room at speeds that would make a car gasp.

……

Officer Wyatt was on speeding duty for the day. Simple stuff in a town like this, the only real issue was when people from the city came in. That was when things got dan-

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by with the strength of a damn hurricane, and he could’ve sworn he saw a rainbow. As he readjusted himself, thankful his coffee hadn’t been spilt, he looked at the VASCAR, and his eyes widened. Only NASA cars were supposed to go that fast! He looked at it again as he rubbed his eyes and looked at his cup before pouring it out.

That’s enough coffee for today.

……

30 seconds left…

Shit! Shit! Shit!

20 seconds left…

Shit! Shit! Shit!

10 seconds left…

Shit! Shit! Shit!

5 seconds left…

Okay, Rarity's in her class!

4…

Now for me!

3…

Wait, where is it!?

2…

Fuck, fuck, FUCK!

1…

“PRESENT!” Rainbow yelled as she was suddenly in her seat. Everyone winced and looked at her, shocked that she wasn’t late.

RINGGGG!

And just in time too, if the ringing of the bell was any indication. Rainbow let out a breath she didn’t even realize she was holding as she figuratively deflated in her seat.

Maybe Sunset had a point. She thought depressingly as she realized the conversation she was going to have to have later.

This is gonna suck.

……

“So, you were out late last night superheroing.” Sunset wasn’t asking, she was stating a fact. School had ended and they were both sitting on a bench outside. The others were likely listening in but she couldn’t see them.

“Yeah, look-“ By some chance, they spoke the same words at the same time.

“I’m sorry.” They both looked at each other in shock.

“Why are you apologizing? I should’ve listened to you?”

“No, I shouldn’t have tried to immediately stop you. Truthfully, I’ve been really stressed because… Magic came here because of me and if you get hurt using it then…” She looked downwards. “It would be my-”

“Stop that.” She looked at her rainbow haired friend. “I chose to stay out late. I chose to go out there and stop some crime. Magic only helped that along. It helped me. You helped me. I suck at sappy stuff but that’s the truth. You got to stop worrying about us just because we might get hurt by magic. It’s nice, but we’re all in this together, and we care about you. So, how about if I promise to,” She groaned. “Stop being a superhero, you stop worrying about us just because we’re using the magic you brought here.” She held out her hand. “Deal?”

“......No.”

Rainbow nearly fell over before righting herself, and the others who were listening fell out of the bushes. “NO!?” They all yelled.

“You’re right about me needing to stop worrying about all of you just because you’re doing precarious things with my magic, but you’re also right about us needing to protect people. But you can’t keep doing this because it leads to you almost being suspended for a week.”

“Wait, suspended?” Rainbow said as she looked at Rarity, who looked away while whistling.

“So I propose an idea…”

And that’s how the seven teenage girls ended up making a schedule for them to go out and fight crime. One girl for each day of the week, that way the others would get their sleep, and people would be protected. The others would be only a call away, so when one went into the city at night and got into trouble, the others could come help. They all agreed that this would be the best way to do things, Rarity even volunteered to make costumes that disguised them so that people outside school couldn’t recognize them.

And the best part?

They all had ways to get into the city easily.

Rarity could make a crystal surfboard, Rainbow could obviously run there and back ten times in half as many minutes, Fluttershy had animals to take her there and back thanks to bears being deceptively fast, Twilight could fly thanks to her powers( Well, they all could, but that was when they were together.), Applejack had strength in her legs so as long as she was careful about where she landed she was fine, Pinkie was Pinkie so that answered that, and Sunset could…

She groaned as she listened to the vehicle leave the station. It was her night, she had decided to go after Rainbow to get a real idea of what she was getting into. She was lucky the outfits could be absorbed into their charms, changing would be awkward. Luckily the city was only a few minutes drive away.

…take the bus.

……

“I admit, being a superhero is pretty cool.”

…….

A woman was in the middle of a walking home, when she was pulled into the alley beside her by a mugger. She screamed before she was cut off by a knife being pointed at her. She held her purse out and started taking things out of it before the mugger was hit in the back of the head with a piece of discarded metal.

The woman looked in shock as out of the shadows stepped a female in a costume. She had goggles to cover her eyes, a hood (with customary horse ears to pay homage to their transformations) to conceal her hair, a black mask over her mouth, and she wearing a black body suit with padding under it for protection, and flame designs dancing around it.

……

“Though that comes with its own set of problems.”

……

The woman screamed as she started hitting Sunset with the purse, thinking she was another mugger.

“Wait I’m not mugging you I’m-Ow!” She yelled in pain as se was hit continuously with the purse, eventually having enough of it as she accidentally hit the woman in the face, a small flash of light occurring before she slumped down. Sunset looked at this in shock before panicking.

“Ah shit, Mam!” She checked her neck, hoping for a pulse, and sighing in relief when she got one. She also had an idea of what had happened. She could…feel, the woman using her powers.

My powers allow me to see a person's memories, I guess I just showed this woman her own memories and now it’s like she’s in a loop of some sorts. Weird. Luckily, she seems happy enough. I must have used good memories. Funny, I think I can see how long she’ll be like this. Since I only did this out of sheer luck, she looks like she’ll be up in a few minutes. That’s good, I wouldn’t want her knocked out laying in the alley. This could be useful, I should find a way to test this.

“Ughh…” She turned around to see the guy she just knocked out coming to. Guess she didn’t hit him hard enough. She grinned as an idea came to her. “Hello bad guy.” She said as she dragged his unconscious body away.

……

Sunset turned to see Trixie looking at her with her mouth agape once more.

“I used him to practice my ability.” She immediately said, realizing with how she worded it things might have looked to take a different route. She sighed mentally in relief as Trixie went back to normal. “Other than that, things have been pretty good.”

“That’s great to hear Sunset. I’m glad to see you’ve been working through your stress. Even more so that you haven’t gotten addicted to your meds.”

She had heard of that and honestly, she could see why someone could get addicted to them. But when you were raised in a world of magic you tend to get into some more……..tantalizing things. Speaking of which…

“I think I’m in love with Pinkie.”

It was then an alarm sounded from Trixie's phone, indicating that time was up. “Nice chat Trixie, let’s do it again soon.” She said as she immediately got up and walked towards the door.

“W-wait! You can’t just say something like that then leave!” Trixie said as she recovered from the shock of what she had just learned.

“Should I have started with that?” She asked sheepishly.

“Ideally YES! We could have had a girl talk, I could’ve ordered smoothies, I-“

“Careful, you're sounding less and less like a therapist and more like a curious friend.” She said jokingly as she tried to open the door. Key word being tried. As she struggled to open the door, she turned to her friend. “The doors stuck.”

“Ha! Such frivolousness is nothing compared to the Great and Powerful Trixie!” She said as she threw down a smoke bomb causing Sunset to start coughing as her vision was shrouded.

When she opened her eyes she was shocked to see them both outside the room. She smiled as she turned to Trixie. “That was awesome! You finally got it down!” She said as she congratulated her.

“Trixie is grateful for your praise, and it only took so many smoke bombs.” She said as she started walking down the hall with Sunset. As she walked, she pulled out her phone to show Sunset something. “You know, the media started calling these magical girls the most interesting names.” She smirked as showed Sunset the news channel on her phone which was talking about the magical girls which had been appearing recently.

“…to the notice of horse ears on these costumed females, people have dubbed them on the internet, the ‘Equestria Girls’.” Trixie then turned her phone off.

Sunset looked flabbergasted at what the reporter said. “That’s…no, just no.” She said as she walked away.

“Then what do you want people to call y-them?”

“You don’t have to be secretive at school. And not…that.” She said in reference to the name.

“What about the Super 7?”

“…”

“The Rainbow Lasers?”

She says nothing as she walks away from her.

“Ooh how about the- Sunset wait!” Trixie yelled as she ran after her.

…….

Outside the school…

Sunset stood right where the statue of the school symbol used to be, but that wasn’t the most important thing about this place.

Right in front of her, was the portal that led her here. The portal that started it all. It was just here, in the form of a glass surface on a statue. Open to let anyone go back to Equestria. If she wanted, she could go through this portal and never come back, and no one could stop her. She chuckled at that thought.

She might have wanted to go back sometime ago, but she had a life here now, friends, and a crush. She blushed as she thought about Pinkie Pie. With how she told the story to Trixie, it would’ve made more sense for her to fall in love with Twilight, the one here. But really, anytime she was stressed, all she needed to do was think about the pink ball of energy, always ready to try and help with something as silly and inconsequential as a cupcake of all things. She enjoyed it, really did. If she had been more like her, considerate, not caring what others thought, happy, she would have made friends here a lot quicker.

She watched as the glass surface glowed.

Speaking of friends…

She opened her arms as she caught the books that came through. One was invaluable to her in this world. Princess Twilights and her friends' friendship journal. Or rather, a copy. She had asked for one in case she needed the advice. The other was a bit more, magic based. Princess Twilight had sent it over after finding it. She stated that it could be useful in case they encountered more lost Equestrian artifacts.

In her hands was a book of Equestrian artifacts, but not just any or all of them.

Ones that had vanished without a trace.

She smiled as she thanked the Princess in her head. She couldn’t always ask Twilight for help, so it was important she have something to turn to for at least one magical issue she might face.

The smile on her face kept as she put the books in her bag and headed to her house. Superheroes, magic, and romance, oh my. She chuckled at the reference.

This was gonna be an interesting year. And good news, she already had her hero name!

Sunset Shimmer by day.

Lull by night.

……She could see why Rainbow liked this so much.

Farm Hand Rarity

View Online

The boutique where a certain fashionista worked was always made to be in peak visual shape. Not a speck of dust out of place, and this fashionista always made sure to have it so. When it came to that boutique the word ‘mess’ might as well have been a foreign word from some far off land. And surely the same would apply to the certain fashionista’s room.

Sweetie Belle looked at Rarity sobbing on her fainting couch (As dubbed by literally everyone who had ever seen her in a distressed state) while eating ice cream. Her room was a mess, shockingly there were clothes… on the floor!

“Rarity! What’s going on!?” She yelled, concerned for her sister's mental health. She once chastised her for leaving her hat on the floor. Her hat! Her exclamation drew Rarity’s attention to her, causing her to stop crying and look at her in silence. At first, Sweetie Belle thought that Rarity might have finally calmed down, only for her to break into tears once more.

“Oh youth! Sweet innocent youth! How fortunate art thou to not have to deal with such problems!” She sobbed as she rolled off her couch and crawled over to Sweetie Belle, who looked at this in shock. “Umm…” She then yelped as Rarity grabbed her arms and pulled her down to her level. “Promise me you shalt not take thy youth for granted and squander it chasing foolish ideals! Treasure the carefreeness that comes with it!”

“Rarity, you aren’t even that older than me.”

“PROMISE ME!!!”

“Geez! Yes I promise!” She watched as her older sister let go of her and began to crawl back to her couch acting like she didn’t even have legs. She groaned and walked in front of her and looked down upon her. “Now tell me what’s going on. You’ve never gotten quite this bad. And you’ve been like this the whole weekend.” She had avoided her sister's room because of the crying, but there was a time to intervene and it was now! Her sister froze before picking herself up and walking towards the couch where she lay down on it in a dramatic pose.

“Unfortunately dear, your sister has found herself a crsuh!” Immediately, a confused look appeared upon the younger sister's face. This was cause for celebration! Right?

“With Applejack!”

…Well, that complicated things a bit.

The Adventures of the Equestria Girls

“......I don’t get it, why is that bad?” She could see the situation, being in love with someone you see everyday, there were issues but it was mostly good. They knew each other well enough, liked each other, communicated well. And unlike most teen crushes they saw each other on a daily basis and Applejack wasn’t a celebrity or exchange student from some far off place.

“Because she’s my best friend!”

“Again this seems exclusively beneficial.”

“We’ve known each other forever!”

“You are actively adding positives to my side of this argument.”

“What if me admitting my love to her ruins our friendship!? Or worse, she says yes and she realizes that I can’t live on a farm?”

“Who said you had to?”

“There’s so many ways this could end badly! I’m left with no one, half of my friends all know nothing of love and Fluttershy, the one who could give the best advice for nurturing something has been absent from technology!”

“Did you try finding her in person?”

“I’ve never been so alone!” She spoke, ignoring Sweetie Belle’s question.

“I’m standing right here.”

“I am an island with no one to respond to my beautifully made S.O.S. signal!”

“...You know what?” Sweetie Belle sat next to Rarity as she tried to recall something. Maybe getting her to talk about it would make things better? “How did you even realize you had a crush on her?”

“Oh I was just remembering when we performed at the theme park and I realized how lucky I was to have her, then I couldn’t stop thinking about her and I realized I had butterflies in my stomach and then I realized what I felt and then I started crying and th-”

“Okay I get the idea!” She said quickly before her older sister could spiral into a sobbing mess again. “How about you come with me?” She proposed. She had talked with Applebloom yestreday and a topic had come up that might just help her sister with her problem.

……

Applejack yawned as she readied herself for another day of work when she heard the doorbell ring. Her eyebrow raised curiously as she went to the door and opened it. Her mouth gaped as she saw Sweetie Belle presenting someone she knew very well with jazz hands. Oddly enough, her friend was clad in overalls and a plain white shirt with a bandana in her hair, a far cry from anything she usually wore.

“Presenting Farm Hand Rarity!”

……

Flashback to earlier…

“Apparently somethings been messing with the apples over at the Apples farm, so their trying to harvest all the apples now so whatevers been doing lately can’t get to them, and to do that, their gonna need all the help they can get.” Sweetie Belle said as she rooted through clothing article after clothing article to find something suitable for farm work. “You’ll spend all day with Applejack and you can tell her how you feel, simple as that.” She smiled as she found what she was looking for.

……

Back to now…

That is what led to Rarity standing in front of her crush waving and blushing like an idiot. “H-hello, daring, I-I mean, darling.” she corrected. Oh this was much harder than she expected. She was so pretty. And kind. And friendly. And beautiful. And muscula- Her eyes shot up before she could go down that particular trail of thought.

Applejack looked at her in curiosity before speaking. “Umm, what are you-?”

“She heard you’ve been having trouble with the farm and volunteered us to help with the farm.” Sweetie Belle answered for her currently unable sister. “I can help Big Mac.” It was then Apple Bloom came in from behind Applejack.

“But wait, Ah might need help with mine!” Apple Bloom said in a tone that sounded slightly rehearsed.

“Oh in that case I can help both you and Big Mac!” Sweetie Belle said in response before looking down with her hands on her hips. “Oh wait, that means Applejack won’t have anyone helping her. Darn it.”

“Yeah, that’s a bummer, if only there was someone who could help ma big sis, preferably someone of her own size.” Applebloom said dejectedly as she looked at the older sister of her friend.

“Ah actually don’t need that mu-“ she was cut off by Rarity grunting as if she was just elbowed in the side.

“Ow! I mean, Oh, I can help you. With your chores! And nothing else! Because that’s what I’m here for. You. I-I mean, your chores! Picking the apples and what not.” Rarity said as she stuttered over every other sentence.

Applejack paused as she watched her friend stutter over her words, thinking she heard the sound of two hands facepalming. She then thought about how weird it was that Rarity wanted to work on a farm. Something was up, buuuuut, she did need the help. And working with your friend made time go faster so…

“Sure, Ah guess Ah could use the help.” There wasn’t really any harm in her being around. She watched as Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle grinned before running off, stating that they’d leave them to it. She assumed it meant the work she had to do. And just like that, the two super powered teens were alone.

“Ahhh, maybe show me the ropes so I know what to do?” Rarity asked after a minute of silence.

“Yeah, that seems…logical.” She replied slowly with the same smile on her face, still not sure what was going on, or used to Rarity volunteering to work on a farm, before straightening up and leading her towards the tool shed. “The others haven’t seen you outside all weekend, something wrong?” She said before checking to make sure no one was near and leaning in close to her, not noticing the evident blush on Rarity's naturally white face. “Sweetie Belle didn’t find out anything about our…abilities or late night activities, did she?”

If there was one thing they were grateful for, it was magic and special effects. Through a miracle, or perhaps multiple, no one at school knew about their abilities, thinking they only went magical in times of magical crisis. As far as anyone knew about their average life, it was filled with nothing but regular activities. And if anyone asked, well that's where special effects came in. Performance at school the other day? Wires and colored smoke bombs. Rainbow running at speeds throughout the halls? Trick of the light, she’s fast but not that fast. Applejack stopping a parade float with her bare hands? It was all part of the show, it stopped on purpose. You guys had superpowers when you saved everyone on the yacht and in Camp Everfree! Yeah but only in reaction to the out of control magic. Pinkie Pie just made a cake explode! It’s Pinkie.

No one knew that when Rainbow was playing soccer, she could easily score a hundred times over before the first minute passed. That when you high fived Applejack, she had the ability to slam you into the ground with little more force than ripping paper. That when Fluttershy calmed down animals, she actually understood them.

And they preferred to keep it that way. Not that they hated the abilities, the exact opposite in fact. They just knew that if everyone knew they had these powers things could get… out of control. How would the public react? How would their friends react? How would their parents react?

Luckily they were good enough to live life on their own natural abilities. Though Rainbow might have wanted to become a superhero nightly in addition to everything else they did, the others didn;t have an urge to. Sure they’d help when they see it but honestly? They weren’t going to go out and stop crime. At least, that was before they realized the effect it was having on their friend. They knew if she continued to do this on her own things would end badly, but that didn’t mean they were actually invested in protecting the populace from threats in the middle of the night.

Call them heartless…

Applejack opened up the shed to reveal all the equipment they had.

…But their everyday lives were stressful enough.

It was then Rarity snapped out of whatever daze she was in. “N-no darling! Of course not! No one knows anything about anything about anything!” She repeated, sounding oddly like a pink haired person they both knew.

“Okay,” She said, concerned. “You feeling all right? Ah think there was something like a reddish hue on your face.”

“Oh! Ummm, let’s get to work!” She said as she grabbed one of the tools and started towards the apple farm.

Weird. She thought before she realized something. “Wait, that’s a weed wacker!”

After taking back the tool, Applejack explained what they were doing. “We just need to feed the animals, water the plants, and then finally pick the apples. The first two don’t take too long so we should just be spending the most of today apple picking.”

“Ah, yes.” Applejack raised her eyebrow as she heard the short response before speaking. “Ya know it’s fine if yah don’t wanna do this. Ah won’t think less of ya for not wanting to spend your day with-”

“OF COURSE I WANT TO SPEND THE DAY WITH YOU LET US GO!” Rarity screamed interrupted as she sped off towards the animals to go feed them.

“...the animals, sweat, and elbow grease.” She finished before following her. Okay, something was definitely up. But what?

“Um darling?” The animal pen came into view, and Applejacks eyes widened. Rarity was now on the chicken coop while all the pigs and chickens were circling around it. The buckets of slop and chicken feed were dangling from her hands, each morsel of food that fell down urged the animals on more and more.

“I believe I might have done something wrong.”

This was going to take a while.

……

Many hours later…

So, apparently working on the farm was… a bit harder than sh- Oh who was she kidding it was horrible! It had taken hours for Applejack to save her from the animals which she couldn’t just gem plate away from due to being out in the open where people could see her! Then there was the matter of actually feeding the animals! Apparently these things sensed weakness and she was just chock full of it! She ended up being run into the ground by pigs, chickens and, oh lets not forget the cows! They had cows too! By the time they had finished feeding the animals it was already noon! Then there was watering the plants.

There was a sprinkler system that watered the entire area of plants. And there was a wheel that operated the whole thing, though it had to be monitored carefully for both amount and time or else the plants would be overflowed. Simple right? Well, apparently there was a hose that led from the water to the sprinkler system. And guess who ended up stepping on it while she turned the wheel to unleash the water, and kept spinning the wheel more and more, curious as to why a water tank that should be open was currently letting out no water? Hint: It wasn’t Applejack.

When she finally gave up and walked away all of the water flooded into the sprinkler system, ergo, flooding the garden. Luckily it was so hot outside that the water only ruined some of the plants. Oh ho, and that’s not even the worst part. Since she was so close to the sprinkler system when she stepped off of it, she was drenched! She didn’t mind getting all dirty, but the mud and being drenched did nothing yo

All in all, she was looking forward to a nice simple session of plucking apples with the one she had a gut wrenching crush on and telling her feelings of romance and love to her!

“All right, things took a bit longer than Ah thought.” Rarity blushed at this. “But this is just apple picking, nothing too complicated. Just pick an apple that looks the right size for picking. The ones ready for picking should already be on the ground. Just take a basket and once it's full, empty it into the cart.” She gestured to the wagon she had brought with them. “And you know the best part? Granny’s inside and our siblings are on the other side of the farm, so…” She smiled as she flicked an apple tree, causing all the apples to fall down. “... We can probably work a bit faster.”

Rarity smiled as she put aside the basket she had been given and created a gem construct basket to scoop up all the apples that fell. And so began the first thing all day that she could truly call ‘fun’. Applejack would ‘tap’ the trees with her strength, and she would catch the apples that fell. It was very efficient now that they could use their powers. And so they ran, happily gathering apple after apple, for lack of better term, they would better describe this as frolicking.

Eventually, the afternoon turned to evening, and they stopped to take a break. During this, rarity saw quite the lovely looking apple. Thinking it would be a nice treat they could share together, and maybe give a confession from one to the other, she left Applejack sitting against a tree to go pluck it. Oh this is going to be so… sweet? She thought in confusion as the apple stayed on the branch. Come on! She thought as she used her powers to try and chop it off the stem. Evidently that didn’t work. She kept using her powers to pull it down, unintentionally making the tree lean towards her.

After making countless attempts, she gave up and dispelled all the crystals while holding onto the apple. Unfortunately, that meant the tree snapped back to position. If this was a cartoon, she would flung into another tree, but this was real life. So naturally, she was flung right into the ground on an opposing side she was standing on, as was non fictional logic. And as the tree righted itself into its proper position, Rarity’s eye twitched.

Now, Rarity considered herself a person of patience, relatively hard to screw with. But the combined weight of everything that had screwed with her merged with the pain of being flung into the ground. To put it shortly, she snapped.

“FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!” She cursed loud enough that the whole orchard heard. As she hoisted her self up, she realized she hadn’t broken any bones. She then resumed her rant. “I’ve had enough of this stupid farm and its stupid animals, and its stupid pipe system. Just use a fucking hose! Your animals should eat less they look like pigs! And this stupid, maze like, dirt screwing, filthy, sweatshop of an orchard! And one more thing!”

“R-Rarity?

“WHAT!?” She screamed as she turned around, only to freeze as she realized who she just screamed, and also who just heard her entire rant. Applejack stood there, frozen at what she had just heard. “I-I can expla-”

“Ah think ya should go.”

There was no emotion in her voice, but her eyes showed everything. The pain, the sadness, the betrayal.

“W- I don’t have to leave, there’s still stuff we need to-”

“Ya know? I was wondering why out of nowhere ya just up and decided to help on the farm. I wanted ta believe the best. But ya just purposefully insulted the farm that’s been in ma family for generations after coming here uninvited, and after being given multiple opportunities ta leave. I don’t care why you’re here. Just go.”

Tears formed in Rarity’s eyes as she shielded them from AppleJacks sight and ran away, sobbing.

As she watched this, Applejack's eyes glistened, shining with tears. Why had Rarity said that? Things were going so well. She turned to look at the tree she had been hanging around. Weird, it only had one apple left. One perfect, likely juicy, ready to pick, scrumptious, succulent- Wait, since when did she say succulent? Even more so, why was she so interested in a single…apple! Her eyes darted to the sky. How long until the sun- She watched as it sank below the horizon. -set. She whirled around as felt the earth around her start shaking, and a roar came from the tree in front of her.

“Aw shoot.”

……

Rarity cried as she ran. Everything was finally going to go right! Why on earth did she have to go and lose her temper right there? Now her relationship with her crush, and debatably more important, her best friend, was ruined!

Suddenly, her ears were ‘graced’ with the sound of roar. Oh if only it could silence the wails of her broken he- Wait that was a roar? Didn’t sound like any animal she ever heard, though Fluttershy was the animal expert. Oh, maybe that was what was eating the apples. It came from where… Applejack was! Rarity ended up crying again, too depressed about her chances with Applejack being ruined to do anything else.

At least, until she heard a crash come from the roar and Applejack's direction. She gasped as she came back to her senses and looked around to make sure no one was there. She then tapped her geode and transformed into her custom made by her hero outfit. To her disappointment, they had all agreed it was better to hide as much of their skin and hair as possible. Though she could see their point, it wouldn’t take long to figure out Pinkie Pie was running around as a vigilante when said vigilante had pink skin and pink hair. Didn’t mean she had to like it. It essentially looked just like Sunset’s only instead of having flames she had jewels and likes embedded around the outfit. She could still have some fun with the design.

With that, she was off. Using her gems as stepping plates, she ran through the air, only to stop as she saw Applejack battling an…apple tree?

“What!?” She said dumbfounded as the apple tree and jack froze to turn to her. Applejack took this time to explain.

“It’s a Pommier!” She said before the apple tree leaned back to swing down on her like a rubber hammer, only for Rarity to use her constructs to make a hand and grab her right before she was nailed. Hahaaaa, who said Pinkie alway had to be the funny one?

“Is that supposed to mean something?” She said as she brought her closer, but not so close that they could touch each other. She ended up moving her back and forth before settling on a proper distance. When she settled on how close she should be to her, she noticed the ‘her’ in question looking flabbergasted.

“From Sunsets book she got from Twilight!”

“...What?”

“The one detailing magical objects, artifacts, weapons, and beasts that went missing without a trace, implying they might’ve found themselves here?”

“You’d really think I’d remember this.” She said as she nervously chuckled.

“You thought the cover was absolutely dreadful and made a new one with sequins?” She deadpanned.

“Oh! That book detailing magical objects, artifacts, weapons, and beasts that went missing without a trace, implying they might’ve found themselves here!” Now she remembered, though she didn’t do much reading as she immediately put all of her brain functions into making a new cover. But it could be argued with a more than full proof case that reading it and making it look fabulous were equally important.

Applejack groaned in her construct hand. “I didn’t read too much of it but I remember that.” She pointed to the tree, which was now bending back and smashing everything in its radius. “The Pommier, a beast that sneaks into places with apples and disguises itself as one. It eats the apples in the surrounding area leaving the one apple we saw the only around. And it’s not just an apple either, it’s how it emits its magic to anyone who sees it. Lay an eye on it, and unless you're full and content, you’ll spend all day trying to get-” She winced as the tree slammed down once more. “-it, leaving you tired to run away when the thing wakes up at…night.” She looked at Rarity to see her laughing. “What’s gotten you laughing more than a mouse who just saw a cat just bite metal?”

“I-it’s just, h-how is that going to eat anythinghahahahha!” She laughed, not noticing the dirt around it being pushed upwards.

“That’s not the Pommier it’s his tail!” Rarity froze as she heard this, allowing her to notice the tree rising. She watched as root gave way to green, scaly flesh. Once it was out, she could see the true Pommier. A giant lizard like creature with claws and jagged teeth, the the sharp spine it had that gave way to tree as it headed towards the tail. She’d say it was twice as big as her.

“Ah, yes this is very terrifying.”

The Pommier roared before it ran towards their apples and started scarfing on them. They watched in morbid curiosity as it demolished all the apples they had gathered before turning to them and hissing before turning tail and running away.

“Hey! Where are you going? Do you know how long it took us to gather those?!” Rarity said as she followed it from above, switching her gem stepping stones for a larger both she and Applejack could stand on and following after him, she assumed it was a him.

“Based on what it just did, it’s likely following its natural instincts.”

“When did you start talking like Twilight?”

“Since there was a creature that was literally designed to be an apple tree that might be in this world where I have a farm FULL of apple trees!”

Fair point.

“Anyway, it still has an objective to leave the one on its tail the only apple around for miles, that’s why it dove at such a concentrated source of them. Since it’s ignorin us and all the other apples, it’s heading to another….” It was then they both realized something…

They weren’t the only ones who were gathering apples all day.

“SWEETIE BELLE!” “APPLE BLOOM!”

First thing I said

View Online

“So, you think our sisters are kissing yet?” Sweetie Belle asked nonchalantly. They were both sitting on the cart. Big Mac had gone inside to hook it up to the car they had.

“Knowin ma sister, unless Rarity outright tells her, no.” The two younger sisters' heads dropped in defeat. When they had found out about Rarity’s crush, the plan immediately popped into their heads. Scootaloo wasn’t able to join them unfortunately, but they made it work.

However, since they couldn’t constantly monitor their older sisters they could only wait till they saw them again to see how giving them an entire day together would affect their relationship.

“I really do hope this works.” Apple Bloom turned to Sweetie Belle who realized she should probably elaborate. “Our parents are usually at work so Rarity is usually the one who takes care of me. But between that and her job, I’m worried she’ll be overworked, and she doesn’t trust me enough to leave me on my own in the house. I guess I just thought if she had someone she could trust more than anyone to take care of me it would be her girlfriend. Silly right?” She was cut off by a hug from Apple Bloom.

“I don’t think it’s silly in the slightest.”

Their heartfelt moment was cut off by a roar. They screamed as multiple apple trees came flying out of nowhere and landed around them. As they opened their eyes, they realized two things. One: they were trapped beneath apple trees. Two: they couldn’t see each other.

The Adventures of the Equestria Girls

“Apple bloom! W-Where are you?” Sweetie Belle said as she realized her leg was stuck and she couldn’t move.

“I’m right here, m-my arms stuck!” She couldn’t see where the voice came from, but she sounded like she was about to cry. Who was she kidding? She was already crying.

She tried to pull her leg out, sobbing as she realized she couldn’t. Apple Blooms crying combined with her own and soon they were crying in fear together.

Their crying was fortunately heard by two people.

Sweetie Belle covered her eyes as the trees moved out of the way. Wait, were they being picked up? She watched as something came through and screamed, not knowing if it was here to hurt her.

The figure froze at her scream before trying to talk over her, and abruptly realized that wouldn’t work. It looked like it mentally stuttered before seeing a piece of wood, grabbing it, and whittling it into a shape. Wait, where did she get the knife? She watched as it, now that she looked closely it was a she, gave her the piece of wood, which now looked like an apple. She laughed at how crude it looked, but took it all the same.

“You okay?” The voice was disguised. She had a mask and goggles, a black body suit with subtle padding, a hood with… horse ears? The black bodysuit had, were those diamonds? Around it.

“Y-yes, but my leg is stuck. My friend Apple Bloom is stuck too.” The figure tensed at this, stayed calm all the same. “My friend is rescuing her, don’t worry. Now let’s get you out of here.”

Sweetie Belle watched as she easily pushed the tree upwards with one finger, which she looked at in awe. Upon looking back, she would realize the tree was prompted up by glowing crystal like constructs. She was then scooped into her savior's arms. “Tell me your name. Keep your breathing steady.”

She stuttered before speaking. “It’s uh, Sweetie Belle.” She spoke as she tried to follow the stranger's advice. “Um, what’s yours Miss?” She asked nervously as the masked woman paused before looking down at her as they entered the open field.

“Couture. Yes I quite like that. Call me Couture.” She said as another woman came from the trees that had fallen on them. She was like Couture but had lines of green and red trailing down the legs. But more importantly, she was carrying Apple Bloom.

“Apple Bloom!” She said as she leaped out of Coutures arms, only to stop as her leg spiked with pain. “Augh!” SHe said before she was caught in Coutures arms again.

“Stay off that leg darling, it’s likely been injured, Applebloom, take her away from here, we’ll deal with the monster.”

“Pommier.”

“Ugh, yes whatever. Now-” She was cut off as a large scaly lizard thing came from out of nowhere, aiming right at her and Apple Bloom. She watched as its teeth were inches from her face, before being slammed into by a giant fist made of crystals. She watched it fly away from them before it was punched again, this time by a regular fist, though that sent it flying faster than the giant crystal one. She watched as the two women righted themselves before their heads turned to where the beast had been throttled towards. They were both wearing goggles, but somehow she could tell they were furious.

“I do believe it’s time we deal with this Pommier, wouldn’t you say…” She turned to her friend. “What do I call you now?” She didn’t know? The one beside her stuttered, obviously not knowing either.

“Uhhh, Plow Horse!”

“Plow… We can do better than that.” Couture said as she pinched the bridge of her nose.

“Umm, Strongman?”

“You’re not a man.”

“Armstrong!”

“Already taken.”

“Ummm, come on! Strong Arm!”

“Your more than just your arms, and that’s just the reverse of the previous one!”

“Jack Horse!”

“That! ….is actually a good name. Nothing your actually…oh wait, disturbing images are now in my head. No!” All four of them blushed as they thought of what was going through their heads. Nothing appropriate.

“Okay, Rough Stock!”

“......Yes. That’s the one!” They both cheered as the high fived each other. Couture and Rough Stock, so those were the names of their saviors. Awesome. Though she found it weird that they stepped apart as they noticed how close they were to each other.

“Go you two, we’ll deal with this.” Those two did not need to be told twice. Using her uninjured arm, Applebloom hoisted Sweetie Belle up and they made their back to the main area, quickening as they heard the roar.

……

“So, what’s your plan?” Applejack spoke in her disguised voice, which still kept her accent. She honestly should thank Twilight for pitching in with these, her sister would recognized her the moment she opened her mouth. It would’ve been fun to explain how she forced the wood of a tree into the shape of an apple. Though she wasn’t on good terms with Rairty right now, it felt good to see nothing but red as they smacked that varmnits bones into dust.

“Oh, ummmm, keep beating him raw?” That worked just fine for her.

“Wow, great plan.” She backpedaled as she saw her jolt her head in her direction.

“Well there’s no need to be rude, I’d like to see your plan.” Ah shit.

“N-no, I agree with your plan! I just… I’m mad about what you said earlier. I know working here can be hard but this is ma home and you just insulted it like it was nothing. That hurt a lot, especially when you came here uninvited.” She watched as her fellow costumed friend tensed.

“Appl-”

ROAARR!

Their heads jerked forward as apple trees were thrown at them. Rar- Couture stepped forward and made a triangular shield with the top facing forward. As the trees split against it, she gasped as she saw the creature come from above, intending to slash her to bits.

Couture closed her eyes as she prepared for pain, but opened them a few seconds later when she realized she wasn’t dead. She gasped as she saw AppleJa- Rough Stock protecting her, holding back the claw that came for her. She watched her in awe before realizing the other claw was left wide open to attack her. She frantically deactivated the triangular shield to block the other claw. The downside was that the Pommier was now on the ground, and had much more lev- was it bigger?! “Why does it appear much larger now?!” She said under the strain as she struggled to keep the claw back. Where it was once twice her size, it was now easily 4 or 5 times her size if she was wearing stilettos! Not that she would. And it looked like it was growing.

“It’s just eaten two stocks of apples in bulk, that’s how it increases in size. Doesn’t help that these are the cream of the apple cro-nngh!” She was interrupted by the stress of the claw bearing down on her.

She could feel her constructs giving out, this thing was going to kill them both! She spared a glance to check if their sisters were still there, mentally sighing in relief at the confirmed safety shown by their absence. “Applejack, there’s something I need to tell you.” She said before gasping being pushed down again. She was now pushing it up with her arms, not that it helped.

“It can wait!” She said as the ground cracked under her feet.

“N-No it can’t!” She yelled as she prepared to do what she should’ve done from the start. “I like you! And before you say ‘I like you too’ like you think I mean as a friend, I mean like like, as in I see us in a relationship and I want us in a relationship, even though I have to be so direct which I like about you. It’s why I wanted to try working here, so I could show you I could get my hands dirty in elbow grease, but I can’t and now we’re both going to die with me being humiliated and you thinking less than you ever have of me!” Applejack's eyes widened before they were both crushed under the Pommiers claws.

The Pommier roared in victory before it was blinded by a flash of orange and white light, and was then flung back by a burst of power from beneath its claws. As it looked to see what had happened, its eyes widened as it saw the two small ones it had already crushed in the air on the shiny platform, each glowing in the two colors it had seen previously.

Couture and Rough Stock were as shocked as the Pommier. Couture looked to her friend in amazement. “Did- Did you just power up when I admitted my love for you?” She said as she blushed under her mask due to use of the L-word, a trait shared by her friend.

“I- uh, possibly. Did you just power up by confessing it?”

“I-I-I… I guess?” She was cut off as she moved them out of the way of an incoming apple tree. “I have had just about enough of that thing.”

“Agreed. How do ya want to deal with it?” Rough Stock said as she gripped the moving platform, glad she wasn’t getting seasick.

“Well, you can jump with precision, yes? That’s how you get to the city and back?”

“Ummmm…”

“Wait, can you not do that!?”

“Well I just said Ah could transfer strength to around ma body including ma legs. Ya’ll assumed I could do it with precision.”

“You lied by omission!” She complained as she kept moving the platform.

“I learnt that from you when you lied about having an idea for the fundraiser!”

“You knew?”

“Of course Ah knew! I kept quiet because Ah knew you weren’t gonna give up till ya found an idea, that’s what I like about you!” The moving platform stopped as the two realized what Applejack, not Rough Stock, had said. Unfortunately, this allowed them to be hit by a tree and knocked out of the air.

As they were falling, they looked each other in the eyes, and moved in sync. Creating a platform, Couture locked her feet into the platform, grabbed Rough Stocks hands, and spun her around and around before launching her towards the Pommier. Rough Stock clenched her fist before an orange aura surrounded it, and for the second time that night, she slammed it straight into the giant overgrown lizards face. The Pommier was taken along with the momentum of the girl and was slammed into the earth, creating a crater with the creatures face in the middle.

Couture scrambled down on crystalline platforms. SHe made her way down to the crater, oddly noticing the Pommier reverting to its normal size, then quickly ignoring it favor of something infinitely more important. “Rough Stock! Are you okay?” After a few seconds of no reply, she grew frantic. “Answer me! App-”

“YEEEEEEHAW!!!” Couture was greeted with the sight of Rough Stock shooting up and jumping around. “If that wasn’t the funnest thing I ever did since my first pig wrangling than I don’t know what from what!” That didn’t sound very fun, but who was she to argue. Besides…

“You’re alive!” She said as she wrapped her arms around her friend. “Oh I was so worried I’d never see you again Darling! Especially after I… told you I… loved… you.” Fluttershy could’ve been speaking louder than her at this point. Rough Stock looked at her before shaking her head.

“Ah ain’t goin nowhere.” She said as she returned the favor and wrapped her arms around her, though she had the upper hand due to the super strength. “Ah feel we should talk about this.” They both knew what she meant by ‘this’. And just as she was about to agree with a blush…

“POLICE! Hands in the air!” …of course something came to screw it up. They looked outside the crater to see two officers pointing their guns at them, before looking at the creature beside them. The lead officer lowered his gun in shock as he looked at it. “What the hell is that?” He said before looking back to see the two women had disappeared. “Dammit. Please tell me your body cam was recording?” He said as he looked to his partner who nodded in confirmation.

“Good, cause Chief Armor is never gonna believe us even with this thing.” He said in relief as looked at the creature below. “Thinking we should call animal control.”

…..

Applejack was sitting against the wall with her face in her hands. The cops had gotten involved, great. Luckily they had avoided them and hid out in the shed her family had. They had also ditched their outfits for their regular clothes since they didn’t need them anymore. Even with all their superheroing the cops had never gotten involved, least not that anyone told her. Oh this was messier than chicken in a hay bale during a horse's lunch.

“I’m sorry.” She looked up to see Rarity standing and blushing. “I should just leave, wouldn’t want to do anything- Eep!” She said as Applejack grabbed her arm gently before letting it go and standing with her.

“You know if ya had… feelings for me, you could’ve just talked to me. I would’ve understood eventually.” She joked about her somewhat obliviousness. “Though Ah am flattered you tried farm life just for me.” She said as she blushed. “That was really nice, though a bit unnecessary.”

“Well I couldn’t have you thinking less of me.”

Seriously? Applejack sharply inhaled before exhaling. “Ah literally said ‘Ah won’t think less of ya’ at the beginning of the day.” She spoke calmly.

Rarity blinked before stuttering. “R-really?”

“Ma exact words.” They two looked at each other for a solid minute before she started giggling, and it wasn’t long before Rarity followed. Eventually they were full on laughing at the situation they had placed themselves in.

Applejack wheezed as she placed her hand on Rarity's shoulder, much to the recipient's blush which she didn’t notice. She realized just how close she had gotten to Rarity’s face. Blushing now covering her face, she stayed as she continued. “Thank you for everything today Rarity,” She referred to the Pommier, and she was glad she didn’t need to talk about the thing that almost killed her sister. “As for your interests, we’re still in highschool,” Her face dropped as she saw the same happen to Rarity’s face, so she corrected herself quickly. “so we probably should take things slowly. If you still want to date-”

“YES I WOULD LIKE THAT VERY MUCH!” She winced as her friend responded loudly and straight in her face. “Oh, um, yes I would…VERY much want to date you Applejack. And I am sorry for all that I said. I was just so stressed with trying to ask that I lost sight of why I was there in the first place. Not a fancy venue or a candlelit confession like my books. Just you.” Applejack then turned as red as one of her apples. And that only deepened as Rarity's mouth slowly moved closer to hers. It would’ve been easier to stop it even if she didn’t have super strength. But it also meant it was easy to speed along. Applejack pulled her in as she and Rarity shared a kiss.

At that moment, she knew the movies were right. Time stood still when you kissed someone you loved, and she was enjoying this moment for all it lasted.

Right outside the shed door, two younger sisters, one older brother, one grandma, and two cops stood, watching the scene from right after they were in their regular clothes, so they all knew nothing about their super lives. Their love lives however…

The two younger sisters fist bumped as they cheered in their head. The grandmother chuckled as she muttered about youth while the brother had tears in his eyes, happy his younger sister had found someone. The two officers had found the scene sweet and therefore decided to wait till they were finished to question them about what had happened here.

Tonight was a good night.

……

“So we’ve been taking things slowly and it’s worked out well for both of us.” Rarity said as she looked at Applejack who sat next to her on the couch.

“Yeah, going on dates, a bit of flirting (Mostly from her.), everyones been so happy for us. It makes me think they wanted us together before you even knew you had feelings for me. Also Ah saw Rainbow collect money from Pinkie so that kind of cements things quite a bit.” Applejack replied, much to the shock of Rarity, who paused before continuing.

“As for the Pommier, turns out it actually isn’t that much of a threat in a world of guns and steel. It’s claw are made tearing apart wood, apples, and tired out woodland criters, it can’t even leave the tiniest scratch on metal. Which is very fortunate for those currently containing it.” She said as she remembered the news saying the creature had been transported to secure research facility, but everyone just said it was going to Area 51 and honestly? With her life it was a definite possibility.

“Yeah, as long as they don’t feed a large amount of premium Apple Farms apples Ah think it’ll stay put for the rest of it’s days.” Applejack said contently.

“I do wonder if there are others though, that can’t be the same one can it?” Rarity asked in concern, even thought both their younger sisters would be alright with some time, the only reason that thing wasn’t dead was because the cops showed up.

“Well, the book said Pommiers as a species went missing in an extermination, the only reason Twilight included it was because do to the knowledge they had collected, there should have been three more dead lizards, but they ended up vanishing so they weren’t paid much mind. This was about five hundred years ago and the book said they had an average lifespan of about 120 years, so they likely reproduced. Though given they stick to forests with apples and shy away from civilizations, Ah don’t think we need to worry about them.” Applejack explained, showing she had gone in depth on Pommier research.

“Well that’s good, also me and Applejacks hero personas are now wanted for destruction of private property.” It was then a familiar sounding alarm rang, causing Trixie to tense.

“Seriosuly!” She said as Rarity and Applejack got up from the couch and she fell from her chair before sighing from the ground. “At least there's no need to go into that now, I can wait another week. It sounds like your relationship has been going well so that’s nice to hear.”

“Why thanks a plenty Trixie, it feels so nice to get things of our chest with a person we can trust.”

“I must agree, it can be so stressful with no one to vent about this to.” SHe said before fake swooning and then yelped as she really tripped, only to be caught by an orange haired farm girl.

“I guess it’s up to me to handle the physical stuff.” Applejack with a look on her face that just screamed ‘the good kind of trouble’ before blushing and propping Rarity up. “A-Ah of course mean stuff like h-helping you around the shop w-when you’re overworked.” SHe stuttered before running ahead.

Rarity looked onwards as she looked to Trixie with a proud look on her face. “That’s my girlfriend.” She then turned to where her other half had run off. “Wait up Farmling!” She said, trying to use an affectionate term for Applejack.

It was still a work in progress so she mostly just stuck to ‘Darling’ but with annunciation.

Trixie rolled her eyes as she walked out with them, glad that she had started this club.

……

A figure with a night black cloak looked over the farm from afar.

“Interesting, I knew placing the Pommeir there would attract their attention. But this is better than I could’ve imagined.” A warped voice spoke from the figure as the hiruko mask the figure wore matched the smile on their face.

“Let the games begin.”

It was the dead of night and naturally there wasn’t anyone around. After all, who would be? Things could get dangerous at night away from the cold light of day. And that’s what three men were counting on. The only people out and about tonight were either their walking cash cows, or owed them money.

“Are you sure about this?” One of them, shortest of the bunch, oddly looked a bit ratlike, and the most worried about this. “I’ve heard rumors of the-”

“The what? The superheroes?” The second tallest one retorted. He had short brown hair and was wearing the same thing as the shortest one. A black coat with a beanie. “Those cops didn’t know what they were seeing, and we haven’t seen any actual evidence there was a… whatever that thing was they said they had.”

“Shut it, both of you!” They looked to one who was more in charge of their whole thing, and the most distinct looking and tallest of them. He had a green mohawk and a leather jacket. “We are getting paid to put this out on the streets, and this isn’t even near the city.” He said as he gestured to the area around them and the packet in his jacket. They were actually closer to the ocean at the docks, where the cops didn’t usually come. “Fortunately, we didn’t come here for the city, we came because the only people who come around these parts are either druggies, or looking to be one. And as for those superheroes.” He said as he used quotation marks, not noticing a gust of wind or multi colored flash. “No one is gonna come out here in the middle of the night out of the goodness of their hearts, to come stop a bunch of guys from selling drugs.” He said, not noticing how frantic his goons had gotten, nor how they were pointing behind him.

“You know if I was a bit more sensitive, I’d have half a mind to be insulted.”

He whirled around to see some chick in a costume laying on her back on a crate. She was wearing all black with the word speed scrawled out in large colorful letters on one of her legs. “How’s it going?” She said as she turned her face towards him, showing she had a black face mask and goggles that obscured her eyes.

“Who the hell are you?” The lead one said as he pulled his gun out and aimed it at her, causing her to shake and beg for her life.

“Oh my god! You found my weakness! It’s guns! With the bullets and everything!” She said as she rolled off the crate and on to her knees, her begging increasing even more as the lead guy put the gun to her head. “Please don’t have the last thing on Earth I see be that horrible hair do!” She begged as she hit a nerve with the lead guy, who fired his gun right into her skull. Naturally, he would expect her body to fall to the ground, dead as a doorknob. So imagine his surprise when the body vanished in flash of… was that a rainbow?

“Did you get her?” He jumped as he heard a voice right behind him and saw the girl he had just shot, fine as day! Though her hood seemed a bit scuffed. “Word of advice, if you’re gonna sell drugs, don’t dress like a punk from a videogame.” She said with a tone that implied she wasnt surrounded by three guys all with their guns pointed at her.

“Who the fuck are you?” He said before she vanished in a rainbow flash again. He and the others looked around frantically before he was punched in the gut. At least, that’s what it felt like before he was sent flying into a metal crate. He groaned as he lost consciousness, much to the shock of the two others

“Oh that’s actually a good point, so hear me out.” She said before she took the packet in his jacket and tossed it out into the sea, oblivious to the others panic. “Don’t you know winners don’t do drugs? Anyway, perpare yourself for the one..” She took the shortest ones gun as she dodged a bullet from the second tallest one. “...The only…” A gun was thrown at the head of the second tallest one at super speed, knocking him out. “... Spectrum Streak!” She said as she threw her arms out as if expecting applause. She looked around in question before realizing the only she hadn’t knocked out was the shortest one. She rotating her hands towards him to indicate she wanted some reaction.

“O-Oh! That’s amazing! The incredible Spectrum Streak!” He said nervously as he shakily clapped.

“Why thank you, I got the idea from an online forum. Between running all the way from Canterlot to here I haven’t had much brainstorming time. Speaking of which…” She back up a bit before giving a speed flick to the head, knocking him out. She wasn’t gonna hit him full on unless she only built up energy for a short distance. Speaking of which…

“So you seem like kind of the leader here. Mind telling me what you were selling? Or the name your supplier?” She to the unmoving body of the one with the mow- Screw it, she’d just call him Mohawk. The other two could Shorty and Brow- maybe Bron would be better than a color.

“Hey wake up, I don’t want to be out here longer than I need to.” She said as she shook his body. “Come on man, I need you bright eyed and bushy tailed, not lying around like you’re dead.” She chuckled as she continued to try and wake him up. After a minute, she quickened the shake rate. “H-Hey, come on man. Wake up!” She said before she tried to check him for a pulse, only to realize her stupid gloves kept her from feeling anything. FUCK!

She continued to try and see if he was still breathing. Hell, if he was even still alive! Suddenly, blood burst from his mouth. Oh shit.

“Nononononononono!”

“Rainbow you naughty thing.” Her eyes widened as she was hugged from behind. “You killed someone, how baaaad.” The voice said those things like she was… praising her? And why did it sound like…

“...F-Fluttershy?” She stammered as said girls face came into view.

“Correct, you killer.” The words were mean, but she was saying them seductively. Like she was happy? “Now give me a kiss, and I’ll give you your reward.” She smiled seductively.

“I-I don’t think nows the…” She was interrupted by Mohawks body suddenly gushing red as it rose and his face looked at her. She was the fastest living thing she knew and she couldn’t move for the life of her. The corpses face looked at her, and roared.

“AAAAA-”

“-AAAAAAH!” Rainbow Dash screamed as she woke up to her alarm. She looked around, her clothes were in a heap, her video games were splayed across the floor as a hazard, and her trophys, and her trophies, scholarships, and letters were all threatening to fall over and land all over room. She saw Tank trying to climb on her bed, likely sensing her distress.

She smiled as she picked her tortoise up and hugged him.

“Home sweet home.”

The Adventures of the Equestria Girls

She sighed in relief as she snuggled with her tortoise, just needing some time to calm down before she got ready for the day. She hadn’t killed that guy, though since he was unconscious, he couldn’t answer any questions. The nightmare she had was likely a result of her fear that she actually…

She shook her head. She was an actual hero now. Heroes didn’t kill, at least, not unless they needed to. If a cop killed someone there would be issues but most likely they wouldn’t get severely punished, though becoming one was a whole matter in itself. But she could help people now .

She supposed that was why she started doing this long before Sunset had everyone help. Because she couldn’t stand hearing something bad had happened when she could have stopped something like that in the blink of an eye. So maybe she just went out once. And once turned to twice, then thrice, then… fource? Eh, she realized it by the sixth time. This was what she had to do. And she enjoyed it.

She tossed her clothes into the basket and started dressing for school.

It all would’ve gone to shit if she had killed that guy. The police had let up on charges against Rarity and Applejack, especially since Granny Smith had stated she wasn’t angry since her youngest granddaughter was saved by them. Now it was just a forgotten myth, no one really believed there were superheroes out and about, at least, none but a select few.

But if she had killed them, and they saw how peculiar the circumstances were, her and her friends would’ve been public enemy number one, at least, those who had been caught on tape. She had made SOOOO many jokes about how Rarity and AJ’s first date had been caught on camera, but she was glad it was mostly dismissed as a mistake by the body cams. Though, Police Chief Armor hadn’t taken away the order to take those two in. She supposed she could be glad that from the officers she had overheard talking the order had fallen into obscurity.

She had been blessed when her friends agreed to help with fighting crime, she was not screwing this up.

With a quick hello to her parents, she headed out the door. As she headed to the traffic light where she would cross the street, she noticed the absence of a certain scooter riding squirt.

“Scootaloo?” She said as she looked around, hoping to see her zipping in. Weird, they usually headed to school together. She shrugged, must have gone ahead. If she thought she could beat her with a head start though…

She smirked as the light turned red.

…she was sorely mistaken.

Rainbow couldn’t believe it…

…She had gotten here before Scootaloo even though she went on ahead! She was so gonna rub this in her face when she got here. Which had better be soon since school was about to start. She headed to class as she heard the sounds of her friends talking. Rarijack was commencing in their flirting, Twilight was watching Sunset trying to ask Pinkie on a date, if she helped that along she could win another bet, and… Fluttershy. She knew her nightmare version of the one she may or not be crushing on had nothing to do with the real version… who was currently talking to her crud!

“What do you think? Should I ask Rarity to make some modifications to my outfit before it’s my turn to head out or should I just deal with it?” Oh, why was she so kind? Willing to put up with whatever issue (Even though she didn’t know what the issue was.) instead of inconveniencing her friend.

“Umm, I think you should just ask her if you really think your costume needs modifications. Though I don’t really see you needing them since you would only really rely on your animals. I mean she gave me better protection around my legs cause, you know I’ve got superspeed, I guess she could give you one of those gloves falcon trainers have?” She had to face facts, her friend was pretty frail compared to the rest of them. That didn’t stop her from feeling downcast at her friends fallen face.

“Oh, okay.” Oh she was quiet now. This was bad. She moved to correct herself before she was cut off by the ringing of the bell. She stuttered as she spoke quickly.

“I’ll talk to you during lunch. Bye Fluttershy!” She said as she dashed off. Her and her big mouth. Oh well , she thought as she headed to class. At least things can’t get any worse. She then looked around before sighing and going into the classroom. Where’s Scootaloo?

Ughhh! Physics was the worst! She didn’t think she could time travel like the Flash, but if she could, the first thing she was doing was keeping Physics from being a lesson in this school! Though Twilight probably wouldn’t like that. Egghead. She thought jokingly. She then grimaced as she looked at the clock. Shit, had it gone backwards or something? She would give anything to get out-

The lesson was interrupted as the cell phone rang. Rainbow was grateful fro the break. Finally a chance to rest her hands and-

“Rainbow Dash, Principal Celestia wishes to see you, and stop by your locker and retrieve your things.”

…You know what? I’ll take it

This thought ran through her head as the others looked to her in worry, and stayed as she got her backpack. Anyone else would have reason to worry, that would be natural. But she was Rainbow Dash . Athletic champion, part time superhero, achiever of… passing grades, and usual non rule breaker. She smiled as she entered the office, waving at the secretary.

Everything was going to be-

One minute later…

She rushed out of the room as the door slammed open behind her. Her face was frantic as she struggled not use her speed cause she was in school. Sweat was practically dripping from her face and her heart was mix of not being there, having a spike rammed through it, and beating a millions beats per nanosecond.

Everything was not going to be okay!

The girls entered the hospital that was fortunately located in walking distance from all of their houses. It was near the city but for the sake of the patients there were noise laws. Fluttershy shivered as she recounted what Celestia had said after she asked them to her office after school had ended.

“The hospital just admitted someone with a very peculiar file. Her only emergency contact is Rainbow Dash. That was how much I got out before she ran out of the door.” Celestia shook her head as she ruefully smiled. “She’s lucky I was planning on giving her the rest of the day off to go see her.” She said as she faced Rainbow Dash’s friends. “I called you six here because she’s going to need some support.”

“Umm, who’s the patient?” Fluttershy looked to Sunset who asked the question on all of their minds.

Celestias face somehow grew more stone cold. “You all know her. She’s very important to Ms. Dash, from what I can tell she has for a long time regarded her as a little sister.” She let that sink in before she spoke her name.

“Scootaloo.”

Fluttershy looked at the room Rainbow Dash was in through the window. She was sitting to the side of the bed with her hands clasped together and her head in them. Scootaloo wasn’t awake, but she had a mask on and was hooked up to multiple machines monitoring her heart rate. What shocked Fluttershy was.. She looked fine. What had happened?

“You’re curious as to her condition?” She and the others looked to the side as a women in a doctors uniform with red hair came in. “I’m Doctor Redheart. It’s a pleasure to meet Ms. Dash’s friends, though I do wish it was under better circumstances.”

“Yes,” She turned to Applejack who was close to Rarity. “Is she gonna be okay?” She had assumed that aside from Rainbow those two would be hit the hardest by this, and she had been right. The two were frantic about this, but it was nothing compared to how she saw Rainbow. From what she could see through the window, she was a mess. Her eyes were red, likely from crying. She couldn’t stop moving her feet, and she had left before lunch so she likely hadn’t had anything to eat.

“Her predicament is unique. To put it simply, she has a bad heart.” The others tensed as they all heard. “It isn’t life threatening, if anything it always manages to stay perfectly functioning. However, its state of health decreases when there’s stress on it at an exponential rate without rest. So as long as she stays away from doing things that heavily stress her body she’ll be fine. Things like bodybuilding, Triathlons, basically anything heavily athletic, though simple exercises to keep her body in shape are fine, though even those have to be regulated lest she accidentally go overboard.” Fluttershy thought that was ironically cruel.

Given that she looked up to Rainbow Dash, the hometown picture of athleticism, that had to be tough. She frowned as she looked at the girl. How many times had she watched Rainbow from the sidelines, wanting desperately to be on the field? “You’ll notice she’s always accompanied by her scooter when she’s outside?” The girls thought about that and oddly couldn't think of a time when they saw her outside a building where she wasn’t riding or moving it beside her. “That was Ms. Dash’s idea. It’s so she doesn’t have to expend as much energy and can move fast enough in times she needs to run. Quite ingenious.”

“So what’s the problem now?” Fluttershy eeped as all the heads turned towards her, but continued. “Did something happen to the heart?” Scootaloo didn’t seem like that type of person to risk everything on a stunt so she assumed the heart must have… broken down?

Doctor Redheart frowned. “Well, that’s where things get odd. We found her on the sidewalk, passed out, and no scooter to be seen. She must have forgotten it on her way to school. She’s quite lucky, had some passer goers not alerted called the emergency services, things could’ve gone very differently. As it stands now though, she’ll likely be fine after a week or so of bed rest.” She finished happily. As the others smiled at this, Fluttershy frowned. People forget things, but not when their life literally depended on it. Something was going on.

It was then Scootaloo opened her eyes.

2 years ago…

Rainbow had badly hurt her knee and was now walking out of the hospital with a bunch of wrappings and stuff around her knee, her ball under her arm. She couldn’t believe it, she was grounded! No sports for a week! Her parents had a point but still! Ugh this sucks! She was in the middle of groaning before she heard… was that sniffling? It was faint but she could tell. She curiously looked around before heading into the hospital instead of out. As she walked down the halls and upwards into the rooms, the sound grew less faint and more clear. Eventually, she stopped outside the room where the sad sounds originated. She looked inwards to see a girl, probably two, three, maybe even four years younger than her with orange skin and short purple hair. She was laying in the hospital bed trying to cry, with little success.

“Why are you crying?” She asked, making the girl aware of her presence. She immediately dried her tears and looked at her.

“I-I wasn’t crying!” SHe vehemently denied.

“Yes you were.”

“No I wasn’t!” She yelled before curling in on herself.

Rainbow looked at her in shock before climbing onto the bed and laying next her, leaving her ball on the chair beside her. She gently stroked the girls head as she stayed quiet, not wanting to make her yell again.

“My chest hurts,” She looked to her as she heard the small child speak. “the doctors say it’s because I’m not allowed to do anything stressful. But I like going fast.” Rainbow looked at her in shock before noticing something.

“Where are your parents?” They should be in the hospital, why would they leave their kid here alone?

“The people where I live say they left, and I shouldn’t expect them to come back.” She sniffled as she turned around to look at Rainbow, whose jaw had dropped mentally, but was phsyically trying to stay calm. What had she gotten into? “Why are you here without your parents?”

“Oh, I…” Left the room when they told her she couldn’t play sports for a week which made her mad because her school game was in two weeks and she wanted to practice for all the time she had? Suddenly, the injuries on her leg and troubles she was facing didn’t seem so bad. “... Their here, I just told them I was looking for something.” She said as she got out of the bed, much to the girls curiosity.

“What were you looking for?” The girl said as she sat up. Rainbow picked up her and winced at her knee before booting it up with her good knee, making the girl smile in amazement at the trick.

“You.”

The parents would eventually find Rainbow Dash and the girl sitting in bed while Rainbow told the girl stories of her athletic life. The doctor in charge discouraged this but saw how happy the girl was and gave them the offer to visit. Rainbow was elated at this, and at the behest of her parents, would come to the hospital and visit the girl instead of playing sports. The girl would eventually get well enough to leave the hospital, and would even get the okay to see Rainbow Dash play at the game she had been practicing for. The two girls would hang out more and more, and eventually the little girl would ask the other if she wanted to be her big sister, to which the other girl was elated. Rainbow even brought her a scooter to celebrate, allowing her to keep up with Rainbow for a prolonged period of time instead of the usual short bursts she was able to run for.

The happiest day any of them could remember was when the little girl was adopted, and the bond they cherished became official. Rainbow, and Scootaloo D-

Rainbow snorted as she woke up. Damn it, she fell asleep. That’s probably on her for heroing late in the night. Fortunately, or rather unfortunately, Scootaloo still hadn’t woken up. Why was it that whenever she had that dream she woke up right before her favorite part? Was it because she already had it engraved in her mind? Was it because it was the best thing that could happen?

Or was it because it never happened?

She couldn’t blame her parents for not being able to adopt her little sister (Laws be damned she was always gonna call her that.) She was a rowdy enough kid as it was. Besides, they had been working a lot more recently. She couldn’t blame them, but she knew the moment she could live on her own she was taking Scootaloo from that orphanage. Albeit that might take some time… She sheepishly thought as flashed back to how her room looked. Eh, she’d cross that bridge when she came to it. She had other things to do for now. She looked to Scootaloo, laying on that bed, hoked up to the machines, eyes open and mouth talkin- Wait!

“Scootaloo!” She said as she leaped from the chair she was sitting on and hugged her, making sure to keep mind of the the wires and tubes that now decorated her, much to the shock of the said girl. “H-hey Rainbow.” Oh she sounded so weak.

“How are you doing? I mean aside from the obvious.” Rainbow immediately asked as she wanted to satisfy her urge to know everything about what had landed her little sister in the hospital. “Did something happen to your scooter? Dammit I swear I’ll get you a new one-’

“Rainbow…” She stopped her rant to see Scootaloo smiling at her and she realized how silly she must have looked. “Hehe, sorry about that lil sis.” She said as she ruffled her hair and sat on the chair. “So what happened?” She said as she leaned back in relaxation. She was overreacting, it probably wasn’t gonna be anything big, she was just a kid who forgot her scooter.………….. So why did she look so down?

“Hey, you know I’m not gonna be mad if you forgot your scooter, right?” That wasn’t exactly a lie, she was furious because she could’ve almost died from it, but she would find a way to etch that into her brain without showing her how infernally mad she was that she almost lost her little sister.

“Yeah I know it’s just… I don’t think you’d believe me. The doctor said I could have hallucinations or something when I overdo my heart so I’m not sure if what I saw was there.” Rainbow raised her eyebrow as her sister continued. “I was heading off to meet you in front of your house so we could race to school like we usually do, when I saw my scooter had gone missing. I looked around and found it chained to the rack a little ways from the orphanage. It was tight so I wasn’t able to pull it over the handles, and just when I was about to give up and try and get some help these men came out of nowhere and started threatening me to deliver a message. I was frozen for a while but eventually gathered the courage to run away as fast as I could, but I guess I had tried harder than I thought because after like one minute I felt a pain in my chest and I knew I had overdone it. Next thing I know I’m awake and you're badgering me with questions.” She said the last part jokingly but she could tell she was nervous. “It was probably just a hallucination, right?”

“Well,” Rainbow started before cracking a smile. “That’s some hallucination. Why would anyone go after you?” She said as she chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. Luckily it worked and soon they were both laughing.

“I know right? You know how I know it was a hallucination?” She said as she continued to laugh.

“This one guy had a green mohawk like a video game character! And he said all this stuff like ‘Tell Spectrum Streak to be back at the docks!’ HAhahahaha!”

Rainbow Dash was in the hospital bathrooms, throwing up. Fuck. Fuck. FUCK!

“FUCK!” She said as she slammed down on the flush switch and shambled out of the stall to wash her hands. As she did so, she looked in the mirror to she her own fucking reflection.

“You.” She said as she pointed her wet finger at the reflection. “This is all your fault! You had to be a fucking showboat and now your little sister is in the fucking hospital!” She screamed as she ripped off a handful of paper towels and started drying her hands. She had told Scootaloo she needed to go after she had heard what had happened, and throwing up was technically needing to go.

“Rainbow?” A meek voice said as she turned her head to see Fluttershy looking at her with worry. “What’s wrong?” And now she had to deal with this. Fuck.

“I just… It’s…” She wasn’t able to say how badly she fucked up before she felt a hand on her shoulder, and looked up to see Fluttershy moving her to the wall so she could sit down. She took a deep breath before speaking. “I busted these guys selling drugs but I guess since I got rid of the drugs their arrest didn’t take.” And she left because she couldn’t let the cops see her. “I think they somehow found out who I was and attacked me through Scootaloo making the reason she’s now in a bed instead of scootering around outside, my fault.” She said as she pointed to herself.

“Would you ever do anything to hurt your sister?” Her head bolted up at that.

“Never.” Her response was as automatic as a printer. Oddly enough, Fluttershy smiled at this.

“Then you have nothing to worry about. It’s those awful mens fault. How about this? I’ll tell the girls to keep a watch out for them when they're on patrol. You just focus on being here for Scootaloo, okay?” Oh she was so kind and thoughtful and wise.

“Th-thanks.” She blushed as she stuttered as they both stood up. “I owe you one Flutters.”

“Think nothing of it. The girls send their best but they needed to head home. They had a lovely time talking with Scootaloo while you were here.”

“Ah that’s right.” She put her hand to her forehead. “I’d better get back to her. Thanks again.” She said as she hugged Fluttershy and headed out the door to leave her friend to do her business. On the way she people leaving an emergency room that definitely wasn’t in use before, and judging from how the people looked who were leaving it likely hadn’t ended well. Wonder what happened? She thought as she headed back to Scootaloos room. She was confused when she came in and it was empty. Weird, must have gotten the wrong room. She looked at the number, but it was the same as before. The same one Scootaloo was in. The hell?

“Rainbow!” She looked to see Doctor Redheart coming her way, a sad look on her face. “I’ve been looking for you. I’m so sorry.”

‘What happened to Scootaloo? I left for a few minutes and whe-”

“A few-” She stopped before continuing and talking slowly. “Rainbow you’ve been gone for an hour .” What? No, there’s no way, well she wasn’t exactly keeping track. Wait.

“Where’s Scootaloo?”

“That’s what I wanted to tell you. She went into critical state and needed to be moved to the emergency room.” Her mind flashed back to the room she had seen people leaving. No.

“Okay, that’s… so when can I see her?”

It was then the look on the doctors face turned to pity. “I’m so sorry.” No.

“No, no, no, NO!” She screamed as she rushed forward, only to be stopped by the Doctor. “Let me go! I want to talk to my sister! Scootaloo! We’re leaving!”

“Rainbow calm down! This is a hospital-”

“Shut up!” She said as she broke down in the doctors arms. She was sobbing and on her knees as she wrapped her arms around her.

“Let’s get you somewhere more private.”

“Let me get you some water.” She said as she placed Rainbow on a bench and turned around to fill up her water bottle. Rainbow hadn’t been spoken a word since she broke down. She didn’t feel hungry, thirsty, tired, or even sad. She didn’t feel anything. All she could think about was what she didn’t have. And she didn’t have her sister.

“You shouldn’t feel so bad about this. No one could have seen this coming. The only fault lies in chance.”

Fault…

The words Fluttershy spoke came back to her.

It’s those awful mens fault.

When the doctor turned around, Rainbow was nowhere to be seen.

The three men gathered at the docks, this time ready for the speedster to show herself again. They were fortunate she had thrown away the the drugs they had been planning to sell, cops couldn’t get them on anything. Though they couldn’t have her interfere with them selling again, those who they had gotten the drug from made that very, very clear.

“I don’t feel good that we had to rough up a kid.” The one dubbed Bron said.

“M-Me neither, but we was desperate and when I remembered what she had said-”

“It was our only option, sides, the kid only fainted, that’s not even a flesh wound. Either way, that hero is gonna come here, all riled up-”

“And she’s gonna stop you from hurting anyone else. Ever again.” They all knowingly turned around to see Spectrum Streak, only now she was against the light of the moon, causing her to look like a mythical being. Fitting, given she was here for vengeance know only by beasts of rage. With the tilt of her head, she rushed forward.

Spectrum Streak Vs. Fauna Girl

View Online

Fluttershy panicky walked down the street, anxious about the call she had just received from Bow Hothoof, father of Rainbow Dash.

“Hello?” She asked as she was walking down the street as she answered her phone. “Mr. Hothoof?”

“Fluttershy, have you seen Rainbow? I haven’t seen her since this morning.”

What? “Oh she’s likely in the hospital with Scootaloo.”

“What?” She winced as he yelled. “Did something happen with her-“

“Yes, but the doctors say she should be fine, you have nothing to worry about. I’ll tell Rainbow about what you said and she’ll be back in the morning.” It wouldn’t do good to take her away from Scootaloo right now.

She heard him sigh in relief. “Thank you Fluttershy.” He then hung up on her. She smiled as she turned to head back to the hospital when a multicolored streak rushed past her. Rainbow?

She looked to where her friend headed. It would be night soon, why was she heading to the city?

Wait, is she going after those guys herself? She thought in a panic before calming down. Wait, I should have more faith in her. Sure she can be… energetic. But she’s always had a calm head.

She recalled how she dealt with learning Tank would be asleep come winter. That was pretty calm.

“Rainbow this is insane!” Sunset yelled as she and the other girls saw her standing on top of a ton of heaters and about to plug them all into an outlet. At the center of these was a very nervous Tank.

“Shut up! If he’s falling asleep cause it’s cold, I’ll warm him up!” She said desperatley.

“I don’t think that’s how this works!” Fluttershy said as she watched in horror as she brought the outlet strip closer to the plug.

“Who cares?” And with that, she plugged in the outlet strip, and all the heaters turned on. She and her friends fell to the ground. Everything was boiling!

……For about three seconds before all the power went out. And this didn’t refer to the power in her house.

It referred to the power of the neighborhood.

“………Oh dear.”

Back to present…

“Wow, didn’t think you’d actually show up.” Mohawk smirked as he looked at her. “What good luck I must have.”

“B-Boss?” Shorty said as he shook. “S-Something seems different about h-”

“Shut up!” Bron said as he smacked him over the head. “You’re the one who figured out where she came from so don’t get cold feet now .”

Spectrum Streak tilted her head towards the shortest member of the group silently and ominously. He was right, something was different about her, and that was about to be made very apparent.

“Come on you speedy bitch! Or did you get slower on the way-'' Three things happened in the next three seconds. Spectrum Streak rushed forward, a clamping sound was heard, and her screams roared throughout the surrounding area.

What happened? She thought as she fell to the ground, a pain surging through her leg, as if something was digging into her flesh. She looked to her left leg, wanting desperately to figure out where this pain was coming from. Under her goggles, her eyes widened. A fucking bear trap?

Indeed, clamping onto her leg was indeed a fucking bear trap. They must have realized she’d come from the same direction, and she was so focused on them she didn’t even notice. Damn it! She looked up to Mohawk as she heard him clapping his hands.

“How’s it feeling? I bet it hurts?” he chuckled as she attempted to bore holes into his skull with her eyes. This fucking guy… “Hurt the same way when you punched me into a damn metal crate you BITCH!” He yelled the last word as he kicked her in the stomach. She screamed in pain as he let her deal with it. For a few seconds, then he kicked her again. And again. And again. He kept kicking her until his rage was satisfied, then he laughed as she writhed in pain, only able to groan at this point. He smiled as he pulled out his and loaded it.

“You know they didn’t believe me when we said a costumed freak had messed with their distribution. They only said to take care of the problem, or they’d take care of us .” He said as he aimed it towards her head from above as he looked down on her. “So time to take care of-” He was interrupted as she hit his hand at high speed. He hissed as it was it and looked to kick her again and this time he would make sure she learnt her lesson. The other two came forward, intent on holding her down.

“You-”

Click

All three of them froze as they realized she didn’t only hit his hand.

She had stolen the gun as well.

“I’ve never fired a gun before, but I know the safety needs to be off to have real effect.” She said as she observed the gun. Looked to be a revolver. That would do nicely. She got in a sitting position, wincing at the clamp. “You know, I really should thank my designer for making the legs so enforced. Otherwise I’d be missing a leg.” She aimed the gun at Mohawk's head. “Lets see how thick that skull of yours is.” With that, she fired the gun.

BANG!

Mohawk winced, thinking he’d be dead. Once he realized he was still kicking, he laughed.

“HA! I knew you couldn’t do-” He was interrupted by the sound of a body falling to the floor. “-it?” He looked to his left to Shorty, on the floor, face forever frozen in panic as blood spurted from the hole in his forehead.

Fuck.

He looked back to the girl as she prepared to fire again, his own face now frozen in fear. This chick was actually going to kill him!

BANG!

He didn’t need to know what had happened, all he needed was the sound of a body falling to the floor.

“You know,” His eyes shot towards Spectrum Streak as she readied to fire again. “I’m actually getting the hang of this. I always wanted to be a hero to do good, and I always assumed that meant no killing. But looking back,” She trained the gun on him, like the other two times, only this time he knew the bullet would be hitting him. “I never said I wouldn’t.”

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

He screamed as he was shot in the hands and feet. He fell to the ground, screeching in agony.

Click, click.

“Dammit, out of shots.” She said as she shook the gun. “Who cares?” She pushed down on the sides of the bear clamp, causing it to release its hold on her. She hissed as her wounds were exposed to open air. She then looked at him, and hobbled forward.

“We just roughed up a kid! And you fucking kill us!?” He demanded in agony.

“That kid is dead,” She’d be lying if she didn’t delight in how he froze. “And you’re next. You are gonna leave this world a disfigured piece of shit when I’m done with you.” She raised her fist, empty gun in hand, ready to put this dirtbag to death. “See ya.” She said as her fist went down at tremendous speeds, intent on splitting his head with the empty gun.

“STOP!!!!!”

Her hand locked up, less than an inch away from his face. Though the shock and fear was enough for the man to pass out. Spectrum looked behind her to see the source of the voice. She was clad in a black padded body suit like her, with the hood, goggles, and face mask. But down her leg went a trail of green, with a couple of pink butterflies following it. Even though the forced was disguised, she knew who she was.

Of course she forgot today was Fluttershy’s night.

“What did you?” Oh that heartbreak in her voice hit hard. Any of the girls seeing this would hit hard. But this? It almost made her feel like she had a heart to break again.

“Rainbow what did you?!” Something told her she wanted her to respond.

“It’s what I’m finishing, now if you’ll excuse me Fluttershy.” She said as she proceeded to raise her hand to bring it down, only for her to be unable to move it.

“Fauna Girl.” Okay this was getting out of hand.

“Nice name.” It really was. “Now let me go please?” Why wasn’t she already out?

“I’m not gonna let you kill anyone else.” Okay, now this was getting out of hand.

“Let me go.” They both knew she wasn’t asking. She slowly turned her head to look at her friend, somehow she knew both of them were sweating.

“I know you’re angry but this isn’t-” She was cut off by Spectrum punching her in the face, causing her to release her hold. She winced at hitting her friend, but she needed to get this done. “Give up, even with your animal friends and my injured leg you still aren’t a match for me.” She stated, though she was curious as to were her friends non-human friends were.

“About that…” Spectrum looked at… was she getting bigger? She watched as Fauna Girl got larger, her arms bulked up along with the rest of her body. Once she was properly orientated, she roared at her. Guess now I know why she wanted modifications to her costume. She thought as she could’ve sworn she heard a rip. What happened to her? She looked kind of like a gorilla, but mixed with a human. How long has she been able to do that? Whatever.

She cracked her knuckles as looked at her friend/ crush/ superhero partner. Things have officially gotten out of hand. They looked at each other in silence before they rushed at each.

Place your fucking bets.

Fluttershy had realized her abilities extended to more than just talking to animals a while ago. A baby bird had fallen from its nest and she needed to keep it warm until she could find it’s mother. So it was a pleasant surprise when fur covered her body. She freaked out after she got the bird back to its mother of course, but she actually came to marvel at what she could do.

Manifestation of animal traits. She had to admit it was pretty fun. She was planning on revealing it once she had gotten better control of it, but then this came up.

Her friend had killed two people, and was about to kill another one. This was a nightmare. What should she do? She knew she could go overboard and this was definitely worse than Tank but killing them? What would her friends say? Should she call the cops? The only thing she knew for sure is that she needed to stop her friend from killing… again. She shuttered at the addition to the sentence.

Her friend was already injured and wasn’t thinking striaght. Which in theory sounded like an advantage, but she knew better than anyone that a cornered dog bit harder than a peaceful one.

Spec- Rainbow hit her in the chest before running off then coming around again. Case in point, she was using the surroundings to hid and keep her from getting a hold of her. Rainbow was pretty smart when it came to physical things, so she knew as well as her that one hit from her in her gorilla mode (She dubbed her gorilla form gorilla mode.) And the battle was hers.

She tried to focus on where she was coming from, but she only knew where she was coming from a second before she hit her, and she hit hard . If she wasn’t in her gorilla form, then she’d wager she be out 5 hits ago. The thick skin only helped so much though. There was an animal she turn to that could help. Multiple actually. But those changes took time, time Rainbow wasn’t giving her. This is makeing me want to scre- …oh that’ll work.

Usually, her scream barely registered as a decibel, though this wasn’t a ‘usually’ situation.

She breathed in and waited till the last (only) second, and screamed.

ROAAAARRRRRRRRR

“AAAAAAAAAAGGHHHHHHHH!” Fluttershy winced at her friends pain and then punched in that direction.

THUMP!

She gave a mental ‘yay’ as she heard the thump, looked over to see her figure slumping from a crate, and rushed over to pin her down, only for her face to fall in dismay as she realized one thing…

…Rainbow wasn’t that short, a man, or had a bullet hole in her head.

“Did you think I wouldn’t notice you preparing to yell?” Her eyes widened as she was slugged from the side, right in the face, and was sent flying into a metal crate. She groaned as she reverted back to her human form, feeling oddly cold. She anticipated her scream and used the dead body of that man as a human sheild!

“You should have asked Rarity for those modifications before you went and used them. Now you look like you’re barely wearing anything.” She blushed as she felt how cold she was around her body. And therefore how much had been revealed. She didn’t think this through. “Now, you stay here, while I go put that guy in the ground. Kay?” She said as she turned around.

“No!” She watched as her friend reversed her action and looked right at her. If she got this wrong, she was finished. She believed Rainbow wouldn’t kill her, but she couldn’t let Rainbow continue this. She looked downwards as she continued to talk. “If you do this, you’ll lose yourself.” She said desperately. “Think about-” Suddenly, Rainbow was right in front of here, and she couldn’t even look her in the eye.

“Did you honestly think I’d stop now after doing two of his guys in?” Here we go…

“No, I just needed to keep you in one place.” She looked upwards to reveal her face had grown monkey-like features. Specifically, Spider Monkey features. “Gotcha.” Rainbow felt something tugging on her leg before she was hanging upside down. As she looked to the leg she was hanging from, her eyes widened under her goggles as she saw a rope-like tail around her leg. One that rooted all the way back to Fluttershy.

“Sorry about this.” She said as she slammed Rainbow against the cold, hard, metal crates.

SLAM.

“And this!” SLAM “And this!” SLAM “And this!” SLAM “And this!” SLAM “And this!” SLAM “And this!” SLAM “And this!” SLAM “And this!” SLAM “And this!” SLAM “And this!” SLAM “And this!” SLAM

“And I’m especially sorry for this!” She said as slammed her on the floor, stomach down. She then shakily walked over to her, the damage from earlier hitting her hard, and placed her foot on her back. “Now do… you… yield?” This was awesome, this was such a rush! Was this what Rainbow felt whenever she heroed? She- Was Rainbow still fighting against her tail?

“Rain-?”

“SHUT UP!!” She said through the sound of her screams of rage. She softened her gaze. “Rainbow, I-”

“Don’t act like you know what I’m going through! This is all my fault! I’m supposed to be her older sister and I couldn’t protect her! I couldn’t protect her!!” She wailed before screaming in rage. Fluttershy wrapped her arms around her as she released her tail.

“Don’t worry, it’s all gonna be okay.”

“No it’s not! Because she’s dead and it’s all my fault!” Fluttershy froze. What? “I’ll never see her again!!” She said as she screamed into on her shoulder. She was right, she didn’t know what she was going through. Her animals came and went, sometimes with owners, sometimes in bags, but she had never had a hand in causing their death. She couldn’t say she knew what her pain was like, but she could do what she could.

She slowly patted her back. “When I was eight, I saw a dog get runover. I didn’t know the dog, but I was so sad, and then I was angry. Because the driver had hit it. I wanted to scream, and I wanted to get back at him. But then I saw the driver get out of his car, hand to his mouth. He then picked that dog up and put in the back of his car. One month later, I see that man again, only this guy, he’s walking the dog.”

“What’s the point?” She continued as she struggled to get out.

“He did wrong, as did these men, but they both regretted it.”

“What? Do you think those guys were gonna donate their lives to charity?”

“Maybe, but we’ll never know that, because you killed them.” She felt Rainbow flinch. “But you still have the option to spare him.” She gestured to the mangled mohawked man, and let her go. “Please choose the right option.” She begged as she fell to the ground, her body finally relenting to the damage and stress it had been under. From what she could gather from the scene, she could guess that first two were (technically) self defense. If she killed this guy though, she’d have to take her to jail, and she wasn’t sure she could. One: because she genuinely didn’t think any of them could catch her if she started running. Two: She wasn’t sure she’d be able to bear knowing her friend was in jail because of her.

She watched her friend stood over the body of the sole survivor. She knew she was hurting, her clenching fist proved as much. Her heart quickened as she rose her fist while vibrating it, and nearly stopped as she brought it down.

Crack!

The impact created a cloud of dust, obscuring her friend. And the mohawk man. She swore her soul left her body when she heard crying. No way.

She had discarded her mask and goggles, revealing her eyes and the tears that came from them. She was sitting down now, right next to the body of the survivor, with a crack in the floor next to his head.

“I-I miss my sister,” She said before breaking down and sobbing.

Fluttershy sighed in relief at the sparing of the man, and slowly crawled towards her. Once she was there, she wrapped her arms around her, this time in a hug. Which Rainbow accepted.

They stayed like that for who knows how long. Eventually, she regained enough strength to move around properly. She had called her animal friends, who would know what to do with the docks situation. She would deal with the Rainbow situation.

“If you can still move, there’s something I think you should see.”

The hospital was locked for the night. The only people inside either worked there, or were patients made to stay the night. One such paitient was sad because she had wanted to spend more time with a certain someone, though she made sure it didn't show.

“Don’t panic.”

She shot forward at the disguised voice as she noticed someone standing in the shadows, near her window which was now open. “W-what’s with the get up? You kn-know Halloween isn’t for a while right?” She said as she tried to find the alert button. Whoever this was definitely wasn’t sane. Black with a trail of a rainbow down one of her legs? And what was with the hood? Were those horse ears?

“I wanted to apologize, you wouldn’t be in this situation if not for me.”

Scootaloo gasped as she realized who she was talking to.

“Y-you’re!-Mmph!” She was interrupted by Spectrum Streak placing her hand over her mouth. It was obvious she wanted to her to be quiet, so she silenced herself. Spectrum Streak nodded before moving back to the window. “You’re Spectrum Streak.” She said slowly. As the woman nodded, she squealed internally before whisper shouting outloud. “This is so cool, I’m meeting an actual superhero! Who came to me ! Best day ever!”

“Y-you aren’t mad?” She looked to the hero, whose masked face had been even more obscured by the shadows.

“Why would I be mad? You didn’t do this to me.”

“But if not for me always showboating and Rainbow not being there to protect you then-”

“Hey don’t diss Rainbow!” She yelled before silencing herself for a good few seconds. AFter waiting, she continued. “She’s always been there for me, but I know she’s not always gonna protect me. She’s always tried to teach me things, and be the best big sister she could be, and she never even needed to. So take back what you said cause in no way is this her fault.” She said defiantly. Spectrum Streak stood still, and she could’ve sworn she heard crying.

“Y-you know? I always thought I became a hero because I couldn’t stand not helping when I could. But looking back on it now, I just wanted be better. I wanted to be the best possible version of myself so you could look up to me.”

“...What?”

So far, Spectrum had barely moved, but at this she hit the window sill. “Uh- I mean, you… people. The general populace. No one really specific.” The silence between them was pretty weird. She could safely say she didn’t like it. Though it was kind of funny.

“I have someone who has been wanting to see you.” And with that, a very familiar head of rainbow hair came through the window. She looked at her shakily before speaking.

“R-Rainb- Woah!” She said as she made sure she was more quiet as her older sister wrapped her arms around her as she lunged onto bed. “H-hey, why the intense hug? It hasn’t been that long… how much of what I said did you hear?” She couldn’t believe how sappy she’d gotten. She was so getting teased for this.

“How much do you think Scootaloo?” She said happily as she continued to hug her. She never used her real name, was she that worried about her? “I-I’m really sorry for leaving like that, I… was real messed up a-and I thought y-you… I thought I had f-failed you and-” She was cut off by Scootaloo wrapping her arms around her.

“You’re my favorite big sister, you could never fail me.” She said as she hugged her older sister, who for first time she’d ever seen, was crying. She smiled as she and sister hugged each other, exuding the love they both shared, even though they’d never tell anyone about this. Wait a second…

“How did Spectrum Streak know to get you? And where you even were?” Both girls in the room tensed at this.

“Uhhh… She stopped me from… continuing on a really bad decision. She’s a good frie- person.” Was she about to say friend? Was her older sister friends with a superhero? That was so cool! She watched as the hero waved goodbye and stepped out the window as she closed it. She then curiosuly turned to the teenager in her bed, who was currently getting under the sheets?

“You’re not leaving with her?”

She smirked as wrapped one arm around her. “What? Is it illegal for me to spend the night with my little sister?”

“Technically in this circumstance yes.” She chuckled as she watch Rainbow pause before looking around and whispering to her.

“... I’ll be out before sunrise.” She said as she got comfortable with her. Scootaloo smiled as she snuggled into her big sisters body, and they both fell asleep.

‘Spectrum Streak’ smiled outside the window as she moved out of view before removing it around the arms and sprouting wings and flying upwards. It was nice of Rainbow to lend her her costume, especially since it would help cement that she and Spectrum Streak were two different people. Those two are just big softies at heart.

Turns out when humans suffer massive trauma and stress in tandem, it’s not all that uncommon for them to receive a lapse in judgment, panic attacks, and sometimes, an indirect hallucination.

She’d seen it happen with rescue animals, well, once she could actually talk to them and understand they were seeing hallucinations. She was so happy to find out Mr. Rockslow didn’t hate her, he just saw her as a giant bug… that wasn’t much better. Turns out animals and humans had something in common. Yay! She checked on Scootaloo before she went after Rainbow, that’s how she knew she wasn’t dead. But something still sat wrongly with her…

She flew into the security room that connected with all the cameras, muttering an outloud apology to the guard she knocked out. She didn’t how things specifically worked but Rarity watched a lot of detective movies and they made it look easy.

Alright, this one seems promisin-OH MY!

She had switched the camera to viewing two nurses who were… taking the night shift.

Nononono, uhhh, this one!

“Oh my, you're brilliant!” “Thank you, now faster!”

That’s the volume! She thought as she forcibly reversed her action. Okay, maybe there’s a-

It was then shenoticed the instruction manual right next to the controls. She sighed before opening it.

Okay, so Rainbow ran out around this time so she would have been had it around… here! What the-?

Fluttershyhad been expecting her friend to have a panic in the halls, but there she was, talking to Dcotor Redheart! She watched as she talked to her then took her outside. Scootaloo’s room was empty as well, but she never noticed her leave. Why would she tell her that? How was this possible?

“Hey, shift change,hey why is thing locked?” She whirled towards the door that was now being knocked against. Eep! She thought as she flew out the window just as the door opened.

As Fluttershy flew away, she looked back.

There’s something going on. Something g sinister.

“So, after that I started trying out more meditative practices to deal with the stress that came with thinking my sister was dead so that’s… a thing.” Rainbow said as she was lying down on the couch.

Trixie on the opposing side looked like she had aged 40 years in the span of 40 minutes. “Y-you killed people.” She stated.

“Oh yeah, Fluttershy’s been taking me and Tank to do like a pet playdate thing. Thought it would be stupid but it was actually really fun. Plus more time with Fluttershy so… yeah.”

“People are dead, because of you.”

“Oh. Yeah don’t worry about that, I’ve been able to get over it, and Fluttershy said she woudln’t tell anyone so I’m in the clear. Though I am not allowed to go heroing for two weeks. She told the others it was due to stress and that she’d be able to pick up the slack.”

“Get over it? Rainbow people are dead! This is a crime! This is murder! This won’t just go away!”

Rainbow winced at this. She then sat upright. “I was… angry, I shouldn’t have killed those people. I see that now. Hopefully, Mohawk will learn from his friends fate and be a better person for it, and I will never do something like that again.”

“You are missing the point and somehow showing you’ve learnt something. I have no idea how to feel this.”

“Yeah, I feel ya. I was super grateful when Fluttershy told me she wouldn’t tell anyone. And shocked. She said that she couldn’t guarantee any of them wouldn’t do the same thing, so why I should I be punished for doing what any of them would’ve done? Now I have the responsibility of proving I deserve this second chance.”

Trixie then clamed down. “No pressure or anything.”

“Yeah, besides, combined with the fact that I’m getting Scootaloo a new heart? I’m pretty packed.”

BEEP BEEP

“That’s time, see ya doc!” And with that, she was gone in a spectrum of colors. Leaving Trixie to wonder what she had just heard. The pure look of shock on her face showing her mood.

“These girls are gonna drive me insane.”

A video of Spectrum Sreak and Fauna Girl fighting was playing on digital group meeting, with many members.

“So these ‘super heroes’ are real? Fascinating.” A distorted voice said in amazement.

“It’s not so fascinating when they’ve interfered in our operations in Canterlot City.” Another disorted, more irritated voice, said.

“It’s nothing we can’t comeback from, but long term these girls might be a problem.” Another distorted voice said with a rational and concerned tone.

“Ladies and gentlemen, that’s where I come in.” The one who showed the video to the many members of the meeting. “I can take care of your problem. I just need some of your resources.”

Numerous voices spoke in objection to this. While some wanted to hear the proposition out. Eventually, they came to a consensus.

“If these… Equestria Girls interfere with our business anymore, we shall enlist your help.”

“That is just perfect. Thank you for your offer. You know how to contact me.”

“Of course… What did you say your name was?”

“Ah, that was poor manners of me. Call me J-”

Your session has timed out.

Hey this is the one I’m in! Thanks for reading this far!

Bodies were laying on the ground, some screaming, some burning, a bunch were both. As Jakalov slowly limped his way forward, he pointed his gun at her, and spat up some blood on the ground. “Any last words you bitch?” He said as he smirked at the bloodied costumed girl before him. who looked at him with rage before grinning and fluffing her pink hair.

“Fu-”

Suddenly, everything stopped, before a moving certain pink skinned girl was thrown onto the screen.

“Hey! What was that for? I didn’t-” She stopped as she looked behind herself and pausing. “Oooooh!” She said before she started laughing. “I started near the end,” She said between laughs. “when I should have started at the beginning-HAHAHAHA! That’s funny!” She said before she fell over. After a minute, she was able to stand up. “Okay, breathe in, breathe out, remember what Sunset taught you.” She said as slowly inhaled and exhaled to calm herself down. She then smiled sheepishly to the audience.

“Let’s start from the beginning.” Pinkie Pie said before snapping her fingers. Suddenly, the scene was Pinkie's room, and said girls eyes went from closed to wired open as she gasped. Pinkie shot out of her bed before bouncing around her room. She landed face first on the floor before moving into an upside down cross legged position. As she placed her hand to her chin, her sister came into her room.

“What was that?” Maud Pie (Nov 2nd) asked in her monotone voice, but still recognized this as unusual behavior for Pinkie. Pinkie regarded her with a smile before shifting back to her serious face.

“Something’s gonna happen Maud, something big.”

“...Okay.”

The Adventures of the Equestria Girls

“Colors are nice, ergo all the colors combined into one should be amazing! But whenever I do it in art class it always becomes brown. Doesn’t that seem weird?” Pinkie asked Maud as she ate her pancakes.

“Sure.”

“See! All the others always say it’s just how the chemicals and ingredients react with each other, so I was thinking, maybe there’s a way I can combine all the colors together without the chemicals and ingredients mixing with each other and just keep the color! What do you think?”

“Cool.”

“I knew you’d understand!” Pinkie said before she looked at the clock. “Wuh oh! Gotta get to school! Bye Maud I love you bye!” She said as she rushed out of the kitchen, leaving her dish in a clean state next to the sink, despite it being covered in syrup earlier.

“...” Maud simply looked at her sister, or rather where she was. “Somethings new with her.” She said as she kept the blank look on her face, the smallest bit of concern dotting her face.

If grass blades all rose up and started partying, would they be really loud because there’s a lot of em? Or really quiet because, well, they’re grass blades? Why are they called blades anyway? Grass doesn’t look remotely like a sword! Also, why did they make another name for sword when they already had the word sword? You don’t need to call a sword a blade if you’re already calling it a sword. Also why is sword spelled sword and sord? You never pronounce the W unless you’re making a point, or try to sound pretentious, or is it flashy? Or is it showy? Hey, why do both those words sound like they end with E when really they end with Y?

“Pinkie?” “AH!” She screamed out as she noticed Sunset (March 14th) which knocked her out of her train of thought. Her yellow and red hair billowing in the air, and her yellow skinned face sketched with concern, she looked at her. “Are you okay?” She said as she looked around, noticing she was right outside the school. Had she already walked here?

“Yeah of course I’m fine! Unless I’m not, which wouldn’t be fine, but I am. So I’m fine!”

“...Okay? What was it you were saying about blades of grass?” Awww, she was talking out loud again wasn’t she? She had been trying to stop that but it was so hard to keep her thoughts in her head when they just built up so much they teamed up, and broke out of her head through her mouth, and then they probably went on heinous acts of thoughtery, before gett-

“Pinkie.” Sunset said as she put her hands on her shoulders and caused her to stop talking. “Breathe with me.” Breathe with her? Did that mean they were going to- FOCUS PINKIE! She watched as Sunset slowly breathed in through her mouth, her chest slightly lifting, before doing the same. As air flowed into her lungs, she matched Sunset’s actions of holding it for… like 30 seconds? 35? Either way, she then felt the air exit her lungs through her mouth as she matched Sunsets actions.

“There, you calmed down now?”

“Yeah,” She said sheepishly,“thanks a lot Sunset.” She then got close to her face and hugged her. “I’m so lucky to have you as a friend.” It was then she noticed Sunset’s face grow… red? “Oh no! Are you sick?!” She said as she reached into her bag and pulled out a blanket and sat her up on the bench, much to the red and yellow haired girl's shock. She then reached into her hair and pulled out a thermometer and stuck it into her mouth. After a solid minute, she pulled it out.

“Okay, your temperature’s good, you don’t look like you’re running a fever, so what gives? Oh no! Maybe you’ve caught some unknown disease and-” She was stopped by Sunset putting her hand to her mouth, before rapidly pulling it back.

“I’m fine, but thank you.” She said as she gave Pinkie her stuff back. The girl in question sighed in relief before putting it all away and following her into the school. She briefly wondered what had happened with her before shrugging. Sunset was her best friend after all. They could tell each other everything .

“So you just have all of that stuff on you?” Sunset asked after they had entered the halls.

“Of course I do! You never know when someone’s gonna need this stuff, or any sorts of stuff.” She said before her hair started twitching. “Speaking of which…” She said as she pulled out an umbrella to hold over a passing student, who looked at her oddly.

“What the…” He said before a rogue water balloon heading towards him was blocked by the umbrella.

“Sorry about that!” Rainbow (Jan 24th) said from afar. The student thanked her before heading to class. Sunset looked at her knowingly. “I’ll never understand how that Pinkie sense of yours works.”

“What a coinky dink! Neither will I!” She said happily as she put the umbrella away. “But it helps me help others help themselves be happy! So far be it from me to question things.” She said with a smile on her face as they continued to class. Sunset looked at her before laughing. “What’s so funny? Is it the ceiling?” She said as she looked upwards. Sunset continued laughing before bringing her in closer to whisper something.

“No, it’s just…”

After getting to class, school commenced as normal… well, normal for Pinkie Pie at least. It was sprinkled with the helping of rejecting a lover, comforting that lover, helping said lover ask the other to be their significant other the proper way, and that was all before lunch! Sunset looked at her meal and always said she should watch her blood sugar levels, but eating two mini chocolate cakes was completely fine! Her school day ended with her cheering up some students who just had a pop quiz with her good old fashioned, MINIATURE PARTY CANNON!!!!! After an intense day of school, and helping people, Pinkie would have been elated to head back home… NOT!

“Time to get to work!” She said as she practically slid into the diner she worked at before twirling around like a magical girl to change into uniform. When she was finished, she was wearing her waitress outfit and ready to serve.

“Pinkie! Oh thank goodness!” She turned around to see her friend and work buddy, Sera Ving (August 6th) looking at her frantically. “We’ve got a full house here!” As she spoke, Pinkie looked around to see all the seats packed with people pandering for pastries! What a predicament! For anyone but Pinkamena Diane Pie! “I’m on it!” She said as she turned her hat backwards. She then got into a starting position on the skates and looked forward, calculating her trajectory, angle of velocity, and how fast she’d need to go to get maximum speed and keep the food from falling off.

“Let’s go.” And she was off.

Five hours later…

The door flew open as Pinkie slumped into her room and flopped onto her bed. So… the people had been there for a while, and had appetites to match, but it was all good! She finally got to go to sl- Why does it feel like I’m forgetting something? She thought as she looked around her room. Let’s see… bed, pillow, blanket, light, chair, superhero outfit that I left laying around because I wanted to admire it and never put it on, closet, door, alligator, books, ba- WAIT! My door should be closed! She thought as she closed her door to avoid… actually she didn’t have a reason to close, unless of course she had a secret she needed to hi- Oh right my superhero duties are tonight. As she thought about this, her face dropped… right before she picked it back up again! Who wouldn’t want to go be a superhero in the middle of the night after a long day of school, and work, and… Time to go be a hero! Wait! She thought before checking around the house, making sure everyone else was asleep, before grinning and getting into her hero costume, after pausing and looking at the audience before covering their view with a book.

“Just a precaution.” She said sheepishly and out of view.

A few minutes later, the book was removed to reveal she was finished changing. She posed in a heroic fashion. She had the same padded black outfit, hood with hot pink horse ears, mask, and goggles, however down her right leg ran a combined stripe of yellow and blue. She smiled to herself as she admired her costume, before her ear started twitching, followed by eye starting to flutter, finished by her knee twitching. She gasped before she turned off the light before she jumped into bed and pulled the blanket over herself to cover her body.

A few seconds later, the door opened as Maud Pie looked into the room. Seeing that her sister was in bed, she closed the door. After counting a full minute and fighting the urge to fall asleep in the bed, Pinkie pulled herself out of bed. That was close, now how to get to the city? She pondered, before pounding her fist into her open hand. That’ll work. She said as she then walked around the room, before speaking out loud.

“Well they think I can’t get to the city?” She said to no one before she smiled smugly as she braced alongside everything as it rapidly spun before stopping, sending Pinkie off balance. Once she corrected herself, she checked her surroundings to see she was now standing on the rooftop of a warehouse in the middle of the city. She smiled as she continued her sentence. “How about now?” She said haughtily, herself being a bit shocked it worked.

She had learned she had the ability to do things like that a while ago. She hadn’t really told anyone, and they always put it off as her being her, which she definitely was! Unless she wasn’t, which would suck because she loved being her! Anyway, apparently her pony self could do things like that as well, though that place was magic filled so it made more sense. When she looked up stuff like this online, it was regarded as ‘toon force’ she just called it having fun. It didn’t always work though, which didn’t really make sense, but she never minded! Why should she?

Anyway, the rooftops were always a good place to find crime to fight. But it was always a fight to find it because of all the noise. Did that mean the noise was technically an accomplice in the crime? Wait no, it would track back to the person who made the noise. Actually, all these buildings were in the way of her seeing anything, so maybe it should trace back to whoever made the buildings, or would it be whoever designed them?

As she pondered the potential conspiracy that architects could have made, she was pulled out of her thoughts by a sudden pain in her knee. After wincing at it, she gasped before hiding near a window she ended up looking into. She saw what looked like a bunch workers in handcuffs, surrounded by men with guns.

“We have been working for your lazy ass for so fucking long I don’t even remember! Let us go!” One of them begged a man in a suit. Weirdly enough, the man he was begging towards had purple hair that was combed back in a wild fashion. As the worker sobbed, the man in the suit raised a strange gun-like device and pointed the part where the bullet would come out at the workers head. Pinkie tensed, unable to move as he pulled the trigger. Her eyes closed in anticipation, but slowly opened as she realized the worker was okay. It was then the man spoke. “I’m a fair man, take the day off.” He said before the worker's entire body was evaporated in a flash of light, leaving nothing but smoking ash as the man continued with a grin on his face.

“...and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that…” As the man continued, Pinkie was frozen in absolute horror.

“Mr. Jakalov, the shipments should be ready in about an hour.” One of the armed men stated. The purple haired man regarded this before tidying himself up, as if he had actually touched the ash.

“Very good,” The man, now known as Jakalov said before regarding the rest of the workers, who tensed in fear. “What on earth are you all waiting for? Back to work with the lot of ya!” He said as he pointed his gun at them, causing them all to rush back to their stations. At least, that’s what Pinkie assumed they were. With all the conveyor belts what else could they be? She watched as they took white powder and stuffed it into bags before moving on to the next one.

Not that any of this registered to Pinkie, who looked at the spot where the man had been before he died. Not vanished, not teleported, not disappeared, not hid, died . This was to much for her, she needed to get backup, she needed help, she-

Rarity(Sept 24th) yawned as she nearly fell asleep in class.

She-

Fluttershy(Dec 13th) was jolted awake in pain as she massaged bruises she had gotten.

She…

Sunset put an ice cold drink to her head, likely due to the beating she had received last night.

…couldn’t bother them. It was her night, she’d deal with the problems! Besides, how hard could it be? On the opposing side, there was a guy with a gun that made you evaporate with an army of thugs with guns that just killed you. And on her side was… the ability to make sugar explode. Okay, this might be a bit harder than I thought. Okay… what would the others do? Suddenly, an imaginary Sunset appeared next to her. “Before you do anything, take a deep breath. Then calmly thin through your options.” She said before disappearing into glitter.

“Thanks Imaginary Sunset!” She said as she started breathing more calmly. Okay, Applejack (May 8th) and Rainbow would- Suddenly, two imaginary versions of her aforementioned friends appeared next to her on different sides.

“It’s simple, just run circles around them and take their weapons before they even realize what’s going on.” Imaginary Rainbow said smugly as she leaned back. Imaginary Applejack scoffed as she rolled her eyes, causing Rainbow to look sharply at her. “What?”

“No no, it’s a good plan, if ya want a stray bullet to hit one of the hostages while they’re trying to hit ya! Here’s what ya want to do. Just draw all the attention to ya, get some cover, probably a car to use as a shield, then take them all out at your leisure.”

“Are you kidding?” Imaginary Rainbow said incredulously. “That plan sucks!”

“I don’t see ya offering anything better!”

“I just gave a foolproof plan!”

“Ma point exactly.”

“GUYS!” Pinkie said as both imaginary constructs looked to her. “I don’t have super speed or super strength, I can’t do any of those things.” Both of them looked sheepishly as they realized the follies of both their plans. “Ya should try Rarity.” Imaginary Applejack said. “She’d probably have an idea or two.”

“Or you’re just saying that cause she’s your girlfriend.” Imaginary Applejack blushed at this. “Now if you want a plan try Fluttershy.”

“Oh, now who’s playing favorites?” Rainbow blushed at this. “At least Ah’m in a relationship, little miss can’t tell her crush!”

“You didn’t even-” They both vanished in a puff of glitter as they retreated back into her mind, likey to continue arguing. Okay, that wasn’t very helpful. Maybe Rar-

Suddenly, an Imaginary version of Rarity appeared, hunched over a sewing machine. She was frantically going at it, only briefly pausing to look back at Pinkie. “Sorry darling, but my deadline is two days from now and I’ve only had time to just begin the basework!” She said before going back to it.

Pinkie stood flabbergasted at this. “B-But you’re in my head! How do you even-” She stopped as Imaginary Rarity disappeared in a puff of glitter. …Maybe Fluttersh- Her thoughts were interrupted by an imaginary version of Fluttershy appearing.

Which would’ve been all well and good, and swell and sgood, only she was standing over a sleeping imaginary bear! Imaginary Fluttershy immediately turned to her and put her fingers to her lips to signify silence, which Pinkie complied with full-heartedly before Imaginary Fluttershy used some tweezers to pull something from the bears nostrils, causing it to wake up with some tell tale anger.

ROOOA-

The rage was cutoff as it and Imaginary Fluttershy disappeared into a puff off glitter. Pinkie stood back, gasping at the intenseness of what she had just witnessed. I’’m almost scared to think, but I have no choice. T-

“Oh you aren’t gonna have much luck with her.” She jumped back as Imaginary Sunset came from behind her till she was right in front of her. “She’s busy using the Separation Separatrix to solve for world peace.”

“…Is that even how math works?” Pinkie asked, exasperated at her own mind.

Imaginary Sunset shrugged as she moved up to the window. “It’s your mind so… actually, maybe I could help. What’s the situation?” Pinkie sighed before smiling.

“Well, there are like fifteen guys with guys, and that Jakalov guy who has this gun that fires something that makes you evaporate. Thirt- twenty nine,” she tensed as she corrected herself. “Hostages, all preparing what looks like drugs.” She tried to think of something, anything, but came up blank. “Please tell me you have a plan Imaginary Sunset.” She said as she got on her knees and begged. Imaginary Sunset smirked as she gestured for her to get up.

“Well, it looks like they’re preparing cocaine, so…” she said before going into thought. After a minute, her eyes widened. “You remember that cop movie we saw that one time?”

“Yeah, Game Cop! The action intense movie about a cop who has to clean up the streets in the videogame "Great Stealing Car!”

“Well do you remember how those criminals cut cocaine?”

“Yeah they-OOOOOH. Smart.” She said before smirking.

She could do this.

One minute later…

She yelled as she was thrown against the wall. As she looked up she saw the barrel of a gun pointing straight at her.

“What the hell are you supposed to be?” One of the armed men said as he looked at her. Okay, maybe talking to Imaginary Sunset while sneaking in wasn’t the best idea. Especially considering that she can’t help me in a fight because she’s imaginary! Wait, calm down, I can do this.

“Superhero at your service.” She said from her sitting down position. Only to curl into herself as the barrel was pushed to her head.

“Gimme one reason I don’t blow your brains out.” He was gonna do it, he wasn’t lying in the slightest.

“…I have candy in my back pocket?” Please take the bait. Please take the bait. Please take the bait. “It’s really good?”

The armed guard looked at her in confusion before motioning her to turn around. She complied as she sat with her face towards the wall. She smirked as the man rummaged around in her back pocket. Come on…

“What is this? Snickers?” She smiled at her success. “Yeah, cause you’re not you when you’re hungry.” She said as she activated her power on the candy bar she had touched earlier. She whirled around in time to see the bar explode in the man's hand. Using the distraction, she hit the guy in the head with his own gun, disorienting him even more. She then used what little training she had to expertly take him down… by punching him a lot.

Once she was sure he was knocked out, she slumped him against the wall and reached into her hood. After pulling out some sticky notes, she wrote something down and stuck it to his head. Alright, now that that is over with- Her thoughts were interrupted as she heard something coming from inside the building.

“Did you guys hear something? Sounded like someone repeatedly punching one of us. I should go check.” One of the men inside stated.

“Let’s all four of us check!” Pinkie paled at the confirmation of the other guys before realizing she needed a plan. Um… Um… Oh this isn’t working, I need a cupcake! She thought as she pulled a box out of hair and brought one to her mouth. Ah, Sugarcube Corner, source of delicious, sweet, sugary… oh. She thought before she begrudgingly placed them all in a line right outside the door. As she did so, she realized this would probably alert everyone inside, so she readied some candy sprinkles and, in emergencies, a ring of donuts.

Really hope I don’t have to use these. I’ve been saving them all day. She thought before the door opened and the four guys streamed out. “How’s it going everyone?” She said before the cupcakes exploded in the guards' surprised faces. Normally, the cupcakes would’ve just knocked the guards back, maybe unconscious if she was lucky. However, these were the super sugar frosted ones she had got to savor alongside the donuts, so even the doors were blown off their hinges, much to the attention of everyone inside the building.

Here we go.

Jakalov was a man of… integrity? Maybe. He was a man of… wealth? Well yes, but that wasn’t it. He was a man of… punctuality. That was it. He liked to be on schedule, and when things interfered with that, he got angry. So one worker complaining which drew the attention of the others away from packing cocaine would naturally incur his wrath. He was thankful for the device he had been given. It was very useful for getting rid of bodies. Speaking of which, since they were almost done here, it looked like he would have use for it once more. Especially since it was risky transporting the same workers around.

Much better to wipe the slate clean before… recruiting new ones.

And it would all be done in a quick fashion. He grinned at this as he looked at the poor unfortunate souls from the upper floor of the warehouse. His favorite kind.

Suddenly, the doors to the room blew inwards, along with four of his men. The hell? Were they under attack? The guards, after recovering from their period of shock, aimed their weapons at the door, ready for anything. Except one girl rushing forward into the room, propelled by… were those pink explosions? He watched in wonder as she was propelled through the air, and over his armed men, ans towards his workers. In amazement, he witnessed her pour… sprinkles? Onto their hand and leg cuffs as she ran past them. What on earth is she trying to do? He soon got his answer as moments later, the cuffs exploded in a color of pink.

“GO!” She yelled before she pulled out… no way. He watched as she hesitantly threw out six donuts. As the workers he collected ran out the door, thoroughly freaked out at they were seeing, not that he could relate. The wonder in his eyes increased as he watched donuts emit a pink glow that expanded and engulfed everything in a beautiful work of art.

Wondrous.

The delicious delightful delectable donuts caused some damage, but it wasn’t that devasting. She cursed herslef for not aiming closer to the armed men, for it looked like they would be up soon enough. Whatever, should be enough time for me to do what I need to do. Hopefully. She had used the cover to where they were storing the cocaine till they would transport it. If she could detonate sugar she could in theory detonate cocaine. Those two were practically the same thing after all! Of course… she thought from where she was hiding. …there’s the whole issue of the metal crate between me and the cocaine. True she was happy for the place to hid but… everyone could see the issue here.

“Fan out and search the area!” She paled as Jakalov started barking orders. “She can’t have gotten far!” She was forced to face facts. This wasn’t the biggest warehouse in the city. In fact, as a kid, it was likely buillied by its older siblings for being the smallest tin the warehouse pack! So it left and- Shut up Pinkie! Just shut up! She was shocked at her own harsh thoughts, but they helped her come to a realization. This was too much for her. She couldn’t handle this. She was a party girl who memorized everyones birthdays! Not some sort of superhero! She never should’ve done this. She never should’ve agreed to this. She… She wanted to go home.

Guns clicked as she heard them come closer. In a few minutes, they were gonna find her, and everything would be over. She was never gonna do anything ever again! She was never gonna plan a party! Work at the diner! Never… see her friends again. At this thought, her body steeled. She stood up and looked at the metal crate between her and the coke. Okay, I’ve been activating my power through touch while I was wearing gloves, and even beofre that I made a sprinkles thing explode while touching the container! So in theory I should be able to (hopefully) explode all this coke even through the metal crate. She thought depserately as she placed her hands on the crate. Think explosives thoughts, come on! Late work hours!

The men drew closer, having heard someone grunting.

Always having to carry around all that stuff!

Sunset flashed through her mind as the men pointed their guns forward as they drew closer to the area behind the crate. Jakalov smirked as he came behind them, curious to see what the girl had been doing.

Never seeing my friends again!

Their view finally set on to her and they fired their guns…

…right as the inside of the metal crate glowed pink.

BANG!

A few minutes later…

Pinkie gasped as she opened her eyes, before immediately closing them again at the intense heat that surrounded her. She definitely heard crackling, but not the crackling of a good s’more campfire, no. This building was definitely on fire.

She groaned as she got up and checked her costume. Half of her face mask had been destroyed, luckily most of her face was still covered, or else she’d be burnt. Some of her hood was gone so some of her hair was out. She looked around to see if anyone else was conscious, only to see nothing but bodies laying still.

Deathly still.

She paled at the thought of what she might have done before an intense pain shot through her arms, alongside the sound of gunfire. She screamed before falling to the ground in shock before looking to where the sound had come from, and gasped as seeing Jakalov holding a freshly fired gun. Luckily, it wasn’t the one that vaporized the guy. Though that didn’t help her when he fired it at her four more times as she tried crawling away.

Uh oh…

“You know, I am definitely amazed by you.” He said as he limped forward. Guess he hadn’t been completely unaffected by the blast. “I thought I was one of the only people with access to magic.” He said as he gestured to his fancy gun, which was now pointing at her. That explained a lot. “Course, because of you, I have been sent way off schedule, and you need to pay for that. So…” he said as he pointed his gun at her, ready to turn her to dust. “…any last words you bitch?”

This was it, she was gonna die. She was never gonna see any of her friends again. And she was gonna die in a pool of her blood.

You really should watch your blood sugar levels

She looked at the blood coming from her arm and put her hand to it, before using her other hand to fluff her pink hair as she grinned at him. “Fuck you.”

And then she activated her power.

The effect was noticeable immediately. The pool of blood didn’t explode, but instead was set ablaze with pink fire. What she didn’t account for was the blood inside her. She started spazzing out as fire literally flowed through her viens. To the outside person, it was as if she was having a seizure in a pool of fire. Her screams were like that of a finished kettle but horrified and in pain.

”WHY THE FUCK DID I DO THIS!!!!!!” She screeched as her body failed to even produce words. Likely the result of vocal chords burning.

Jakalov looked at her incredulously, wondering what the hell she had done to herself, before looking at her in terror as it looked as if flesh was melting off her bones. Speaking of which, her bones were now black as the night sky. What did she think was going to happen when she ignited her blood sugar? Yes, he had been able to deduce her ability, which was why he now regretted cutting the cocaine, given they used sugar in that process, it was likely what she used to detonate it.

Suddenly, a beeping sound came from the device he used to vaporize the worker. Ah, recharge times over. He thought before taking out the gun.

Well, might as well get rid of the body and put her out of her misery. He thought as he pointed his gun at the somehow still moving girl.

“See you around bitch.”

Everything was dark. Actually, to be more accurate, there was nothing anywhere. Except two voices.

Pinkie you need to get up.

No, I don’t want to.

But you have to, this man is about to kill you.

So what? He’s putting… me out of my misery.

You’re slipping away, you have to get up.

What do you… care? Who even… are you?

That’s not important. Without you, your friends will fall apart.

I don’t… want… that… to happen.

So you need to get up. Now!

But… I can’t… everything… hurts… I hurt.

… Pinkie, you spend so much time making everyone happy…

Wait…I… know… those… words.

…But really…

They’re… from… someone… I know.

…if anyones friends with you…

From… my… friend.

…Then all they need to be happy…

From… her.

…Is you being happy.

…Sunset makes me happy. I want to be happy. I WANT TO BE HAPPY!!!!!

As those words were spoken, the nothingness was enveloped in fire, but not the kind that burned red. No.

This fire burnt a hot pink.

Suddenly, the corpse started moving, but it was like it was out of a horror movie. Jakalov watched in fear as the black skeleton stood up, engulfed in its own flames. It then slowly titled its head up to point its lifeless eyeholes at him, and then it started walking towards him.

He screamed as he fired his magical weapon at it in attempt to vaporize it, only to look aghast as the attacks did nothing. Is that pink fire so hot it negates the vaporization? That’s impossible.

But as he looked at the ground beneath the monsters feet, he was proven wrong as it was aglow with mass amounts of temperature. He watched in terror as it grew closer, him unable to runaway due to the limp, and it just about…

Nudge

…what? He watched as it lightly tapped his shoulder, before retracting its hand. He looked flabbergasted at what he had witnessed. “Is that seriously all you- AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ” He screamed as his right arm was suddenly set ablaze in pink flames. He watched in abject intense pain as the flesh melted off his bones. It was like watching a s’more melt off a stick! His screams continued as all that remained as black brittle unusable bone.

As he continued to scream, the pink flamed skeleton looked at him, its featureless skeleton head unable to convey emotions, before turning away and slowly, shakily, leaving the scene. Leaving Jakalov in agony.

Luckily, the skeleton had enough sense to stay in the alleyway, away from peoples sight as it left the warehouse. It naturally wanted to return home, or at least, where it remembered home as. Luckily, that was on the way to Pinkies house.

Suddenly, a clapping sound filled the air as Imaginary Sunset appeared sitting on a dumpster. “Well done. Magnificent indeed.” It turned to her as it tilted its head in curiosity.

“Oh, I just didn’t know when I goaded Pinkie to do that reckless plan it would awaken such a beast. No offense, actually the exact opposite.” It tilted its head even further. “Don’t worry, either way, it’s time for you to go back inside.” This provoked a reaction. It roared an eerie screech as it lunged at her before it stopped as its flames went out and it was replaced with Pinkie.

Who unfortunately had not been wearing flame retardant clothing.

Pinkie fell to the ground, looking around in a daze as she wondered what had happened. “W-Waht?” Also disoriented. Good. “Imagiary Sunset?” So she noticed her. Good.

“Go to sleep Pinkie. When you wake up, you’ll be back at your house, fully rested, and fully clothed.” She said as she smiled downwards at the currently disrobed and disoriented girl.

“Taht’s goodie. Tankies.” She said sluggishly as she fell asleep, dreaming of how she had just stopped a drug operation in the city. And as she did so, a smile grew upon her sleeping face.

Pinkies eyes shot open as she woke up in her bed. She immediately looked at the clock and saw she still had a whole whopping two hours to go before school even got close to starting! But for some reason, she didn’t feel remotely tired. If anything she felt she was energized beyond belief!

She whooped as she started to bounce around the room. This felt amazing! She continued to do so as she cheered at the rush of energy she felt before her ear started twitching, followed by eye starting to flutter, finished by her knee twitching. She gasped before she turned off the light before she jumped into bed and pulled the blanket over herself to cover her body.

A few seconds later, the door opened as Maud Pie looked into the room. Seeing once again that her sister was in bed, she closed the door. Under her covers, Pinkie smiled as she realized the first thing she wanted to do with all her newfound energy.

One hour later…

“So seeing as you were an integral part of my activity yesterday succeeding.” Pinkie said as she stood with her pose upright and hands on her hips. “I’ve decided to bake you your very own cake! And it’s naturally it’s your favorite flavor! And naturally I’m pushing to get it on the menu at the diner I work at.” She said as she winked at the girl in question she was talking to.

Sunset looked at the girl who was currently covered in hot pink glitter who had just burst from out of her locker after screaming ‘surprise!’, a blush evident on her face before she started grinning, not a word leaving her mouth. Pinkie was shocked at this, wondering if Sunset was mocking her, before she found two arms wrapped around her body. She froze in shock before Sunset whispered something into her ear.

“You’re welcome. I’ll always be here for you.”

Pinkie grin practically split her face in two, which would’ve been bad for most people, but for her, two times the face meant two times the smiles.

She felt her hair start twitching, but she decided to do the one thing she’d never thought she’d do.

Ignore it in favor of what she was doing right now. Distantly, she heard a groan as someone slipped and broke something, but for once, she didn’t need to care. She just needed to worry about herself.

And herself was happy.

“So aside from that, I’ve been living my life. It’s WAAAAAAAAAAY less stressful now that I’m worrying about every little thing.” Pinkie said to Trixie as she laid with her stomach on the couch with her legs kicking back and forth.

“That’s good, anything else you’d like to report? You know, given how close we are to the meeting ending.” Trixie said, not wanting to be caught in a blindside… AGAIN.

“Nope!” She said happily as she looked upwards with a dazed look on her face. Though this one looked… happy. Or…

“Something on your mind Pinkie?” She said, her eye trained on the clock.

“Oh… nothing… it’s just lately whenever I think of Sunset I get all dazey and fluttery, though Fluttershy’s nowhere to be found. I wonder what that means.” She said before the alarm sounded, causing Trixie to break her clipboard in half as Pinkie shot out the room.

“COME THE FUCK ON!!!!!”

Chief Shining Armor looked at the scene before him. Ten dead. Four brutally injured. One with his freaking arm burnt off.

Jolly good.

Whoever did this was a psycho. Sure, they had busted a cocaine selling business, but there was no need for whoever did this to go this far. This was the work of a psycho, possibly trying to justify their own actions by doing to people who sold drugs. But that wasn’t gonna stop them for long. He looked at the note in his hand.

Luckily, he had at least had their handwriting.

“…I believe the situation has more than called for my help. And before you ask, everyone and their mother knows about the brightest, least stealthy raid in the history of raids.”

“That we can agree on.”

“So, can I assume I will have access to your resources if I can bring you those girls dead on a platter?”

“Affirmative.”

“Jolly, this should be fun.”

“Pleasure doing business with you, Jokai.”

Twilight considered herself a smart person, that she always believed. Now, keep in mind that she was also a person. Ergo she was part of a race known as the Homo Sapiens, or more well known as humans. This meant in sentences like ‘Some people .’ Or ‘ People can be so kind sometimes.’ She was people. Now sometimes sentences like those didn’t usually apply to her, but there was one that did.

People make mistakes.

And since she herself was people, she was prone to make mistakes. Mistakes like forgetting her homework, saying the wrong thing, stealing magic and becoming a demon.

That type of thing.

So in her defense, it was completely naturally to make a mistake now and then. Especially when she and her friends were teenagers juggling responsibilities.

“So, how’s your friend Pinkie Pie?”

“AH!”

Like accidentally spilling your water and freaking out when your brother, the Chief of Police , asked about your vigilante friend who just a couple days ago accidentally killed multiple people. Which would in turn imply you knew something about it! DOOMING YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS TO A LIFE OF JAIL!!!!

Inhale, Exhale, Inhale, Exhale

Hey, she was only human.

The Adventures of the Equestria Girls

“Everything okay Twilight?” Cadence, her brother’s wife, asked as she soaked up the spilt water with a towel.

“Yeah Twily, you’re acting worse than when you got that A minus on your particle physics paper.” Her brother spoke with both concern and joke.

“That paper was incredibly well worded for just being written by an 8th grader!” She retorted as she stood up and slammed her fist on the table, before pausing and sinking back down to her seat, noting the looks given to her by her brother and her brother's wife.

“Umm, why are you interested in meeting Pinkie Pie?” She asked slowly and calmly.

“I never said I wanted to meet her.” He said quickly. “Just asking how my little sister's friend is doing. Is that so strange?” He asked as his fork poked at his beef.

“Well it is when you’ve never actively sought out info on a single one of my friends.” She said as she twirled her spinach around with her own fork. She had to be smart about this. If she slipped up on a single word or phrase, she could blow everything!

“Has something happened that sparked an interest in her?” She spoke calmly, not wanting to betray how nervous she really was.

“Oh nothing major, it’s just that with these ‘Equestria Girls’ out and about…” She winced at that name. She could think of a better one in her sleep. “…She should be careful. After all, from what you’ve told me about her, she's pretty crazy. Wouldn’t want her to get caught by the same one who was the cause of that explosion at that warehouse.”

Fuck. “Don’t worry, it’s not like she ever goes anywhere but school and her job. She’s totally fine.” It was then she noticed her brother's choice of words.

“Crazy?” She asked in an accusatory tone. “She isn’t crazy.”

He gave a dismissive humming sound at her words before he opened his mouth. “Just seems like she’s always causing new havoc wherever she goes.”

What is he- Images of the halls flooded with confetti surged through her mind. -talking- Images of an art class covered in too much paint for an art class splattered in her brain. -about. As she finished, a ruined dock shipwrecked in amygdala. Oh.

“Well…”

Suddenly, a yawn came from underneath the table.Twilight tensed up before slowly looking at her brother. “Aw, I sure am tired, I think I’ll head to bed.” She said before lightly tapping something with her foot from under the bed.

“Okay Twilight, wouldn’t want you to miss school after all, what with all your friends being there.” She clenched her fist in stress before rushing up to her room. She then left the door open for a few seconds as something bounded in before closing and locking it shut. She then exhaled in relief before looking at what was currently on her bed.

“Okay, what was that? What if you had been found out?”

“Well what did you want me to do?” The purple dog said as he rolled around on the bed. “You were gonna slip and you needed a way out of there.” Her dog, Spike, said from his position which had him on his back.

“There had to be a better way than almost revealing to my brother that you can talk!” She whisper shouted, not wanting to reveal the secret herself. Out of many secrets she kept, one of the biggest ones was the fact that her dog could talk ever since the Friendship games. Well, with how many people who knew it wasn’t her biggest secret, but it was one she wasn’t keen on letting everyone know.

The only reason her dog wasn’t on a talk show or being experimented on was because no one told anyone, which was probably due to them realizing no one would believe them, but she was still grateful.

“Okay, okay, sorry.” He said as rolled onto his belly and whimpered. She smiled before sitting on her bed next to him and patting his head.

“It’s fine, thank you.” She said before frowning as she looked up to the ceiling and flashback to when they talked with Pinkie about her… escapade.

They were all gathered in the band room, having locked it and made sure no one was listening.

They were all focused on the news article, or specifically, the headline. Sunset was next to Pinkie, hand on her shoulder,and ready to do more if needed. They found that when Pinkie was down, she needed to be around people, specifically her friends. Pinkie herself was sitting on a chair, her eyes wide and breathing heavily, her hair was down, straightened and she had lost her color throughout her body.

“We can’t let anyone find out she did this.” Rainbow said after she and Fluttershy looked at each other. “Her life will be ruined.”

“And we’ll be found out.” Applejack added before being nudged by Rarity. “Not that that’s the most important part.” But it was still important nonetheless.

“We have to be more careful now, Pinkie, you should refrain from going out for a while.” Sunset said to the girl in question before looking at the rest of them. “I can pick up her shift.” Twilight paused as she heard a faint ‘sorry’ in Pinkie’s breaths.

“Don’t worry Pinkie,” Sunset reassured as she full on hugged her. “We don’t blame you in the slightest. Everything’s gonna be alright.”

From what Pinkie told them, it was either the outcome they had now, or lives being forced to run a cocaine ring be at risk. Not to mention, from what she was told, Jakalov was likely planning to move his operations, so it was for the better that she stopped his operations then and there. Calling us all over would’ve meant I’d be involved, and I’d likely spend a full day coming up with a full proof plan, so I can’t really say I would’ve benefitted them.

Of course, that was looking at the benefit of hostages.

Honestly? Pinkie likely made the best choice going it alone, but everything has consequences, that included this.

Pink Eared Equestria Girl wanted for murder.

The police now had concrete proof and eye witnesses that they existed. Eyewitnesses from the hostages, Jakalov, and a guy tied up outside. Proof from the level of the explosives that were left. One person couldn’t have done that without access to high weaponry, or magic, but it was better to have them think they relied on mechanical means.

This-

-wasn’t good. She thought as she looked up to the ceiling. I have to talk with the girls tomorrow.

“Hey Twi!” She raised her eyebrow before turning around to see Rainbow dashing towards her. And people say I can’t be funny. She mentally smirked before her friend started talking to her. “There’s something I need to talk to you guys about, I think I-”

“Sorry Rainbow, there’s something I have to tell everyone first.” She said as she walked away while texting everyone.

Meet me in the band room.

“...And that’s essentially what’s going on. We need to do something to get him off Pinkie Pies trail. And fast.” Twilight said as she brought them all up to speed on the situation. Their eyes turned grim as they looked at Pinkie, who was even worse than them somehow. “What I don’t get is how he even figured it was you specifically.” Twilight pondered aloud before hearing something.

“...left a note…” The rest wasn’t intelligible but she did widen her eyes.

“WHAT?!” She yelled as the pink haired girl curled in on herself and Sunset looked at her accusingly while she wrapped her arms around Pinkie. She winced at that.

“Sorry, sorry…but that does shorten the time we have to work with.” She said as she started pacing. “When Applejack and Rarity got arrest warrants out for them I started researching police procedures and processes. It takes two weeks to analyze a handwriting sample, and knowing my brother he would have sent it in immediately so he should be getting the name of the writer back…” She paled as she checked the calendar app on her phone.

“...tonight.”

“Okay, new plan,” Twilight said as she pulled up locations outside the city. “We skip town, Rainbow, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and I can provide transportation to Pinkie and Sunset. Canada isn’t that far from here, well, isn’t that far by magic powered standards. I’d give us a week or so to get there if we do it smartly. As for foo-”

“Um, Twi?” She turned to Rainbow. “I know this is out of character for me, but I have a plan.” She said as she pulled out her phone. “That involves our project.”

“What pro- Oh no.”

Her teacher passed out a rubric to the class. “Your assignment is to form a group of up to seven and make a presentation regarding an object from history.” Professor Fossil, who also happened to work at the museum, spoke as some of the class raised their eyebrows.

Seven people? For this?

“A simple project at face value, however, in details one might there does exist a devil. Your group must present this to someone outside the school, which means no teachers, no other students, and no one from a different school. They also must not know they are being given a presentation.”

Okay so that might be a bit of a challenge.

“Once you finish educating them on the object in question, you shall reveal the true project in full and have them give their review. Each person must contribute to the presentation in some way shape or form. To ensure everyone is with their best team, the entire school has been given this project, so you may partner up with anyone going to this school.”

Immediately, seven girls thought the exact same thing.

This…

…project…

…is…

…gonna…

…be…

…so…

…easy!

And then they neglected to do it because of various other dramas.

“Well now we have to get out of the country because I am not having a missing assignment on my record. Luckily, as I was saying, Sunset has also found a way to get us new identities.”

“Hey I said I might know someone.”

“What if we didn’t have to?” Rainbow said as she stood up. “Luckily for you guys, I did the presentation already.” She said as stood in the center of the room, waiting for praise. Only to open her eyes and see the girls looked at her questionably. “Okay, very funny.”

“Rainbow, Ah don’t mean any offense but… you made an entire presentation on yer own?”

“For your information, Aj, I did it one night. Superspeed solves everything.” She said cockily.

“Then why do you always end up turning in your other assignments at the last minute?” Twilight said suspiciously as Rainbow stuttered before retorting.

“Well…” She said as she stood in the center of the room, sweating nervously under everyone else's gaze and judgment. Eventually she just sighed and raised her hands. “Look, I know I’m not the most reliable person when it comes to non athletic school based stuff, but I need you all to trust the me that trusts in my skills to make a good presentation.”

They all looked at her for a solid minute before sighing. “Okay, we trust you, but how does this help Pinkie?” Sunset asked as Rainbow smirked.

“Well that’s where Twilight's part comes in.” She said as Twilight pointed to herself questioningly before realizing what she planned to do. “Rainbow no.”

“Rainbow, yes!”

A door opened to see Twilight, Rainbow, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Sunset, and Pinkie Pie at the doorstep. “Ah, Twily said she was bringing her friends over. It’s my pleasure to have you.” Shining Armor said with a smile on his face.

“Come on in.”

Twilight pierced together the rest of Rainbow's plan pretty easily, and she thought it was pretty good. Not taking into account that this was in fact their only plan. First, Twilight would ask her brother if if they could eat out in the backyard for a celebration of the special occasion of an anniversary they had made up, Rainbow would educate her brother on the historical artifact that was the subject of the anniversary they had made up, Rarity would set up the table and dining utensils outside, Applejack gets the food, Pinkie Pies the entertainment, and Sunset would get to his work computer, intercept the message with the results for the handwriting analysis, and they’d all get a good grade.

Okay one of those things wasn’t like the rest but they were on a timer here. There was a matrix that paired up handwriting samples with the person in question, but only one person was allowed to look at them when they analyzed. The Chief of Police. Meaning if Sunset deleted the message, he’d never know.

Of course, the next step would be getting the writing he got from the crime scene away from anyone so they can’t scan it again, but we can deal with that later. Twilight thought as she shifted attention back to Rainbow and her brother.

“So, this artifacts date of use is a special holiday?” Her brother asked with a raised eyebrow as Rainbow explained why they were having dinner outside.

“Exactly, and I’ll gladly tell you the history of how it came to be over dinner.” Rainbow said as Rarity and Applejack were setting up the table outside and food with the use of their powers, unknown to her brother, of course.

“I…okay, this could be fun I suppose.” Shining said as he started to head out to the backyard before Rainbow stopped him before making an excuse to bring him to the kitchen, something about wanting him to inspect the food Applejack had made so far, but really not wanting him to go outside and see her friends using their powers.

“Um, Sunset?” The fiery haired girl turned her head to see her pink haired friend/ crush looking at her, face clear with a question.

“Yeah Pinkie, what’s up?” She asked as she fully turned her body immediately seeing as it was the girl in question who she very much liked.

“Um, well, I was wondering about our… powers.” She raised her eyebrow, none of the girls ever had any real issues with powers aside from where they came from and hiding them. And she never expected Pinkie to raise a question about powers that allowed her to turn candy in fireworks. “Is it possible they came from something… alive?”

Sunset paused at that question before thinking in consideration of the idea. “Well, it’s not impossible, in fact it’s actually pretty likely.” Magic always came from a living thing, well, in theory. Objects that seemed to innately possess magic had always been theorized to have actually been enchanted with that magic by unicorns. Of course, it wasn’t the most rock solid theory as there existed areas of magic in Equestria with their own magic, though she supposed if one went back far enough there could be a being that mbestowed magic in those areas. “It’s possible that our magic came from beings who imbued their magic into those geodes that reacted with us. Why do you ask?”

Pinkie suddenly widened her eyes before chuckling. “Just a hunch.” She said casually before she headed into the bathroom. Sunset sighed as she shook her head before walking away. Classic Pinkie.

Pinkie Pie locked the door behind her before her face grew tense with fear. She clambered over to the mirror before she placed her hands on the sink and gripped it.

Everything’s fine, everything’s fine, everything’s-

Her eyes suddenly shot to the mirror where instead of her pink self was the pink flames black skeleton from her nightmares.

She then looked in horror as the tip of her finger burst into flame, painlessly burning away at her flesh to reveal black bone. It eventually spread until her right index finger was black and burning in a pink flame.

Her eyes were trained on it in terror as her breathing quickened and her heart rate increased.

Everything is not fine.

Dinner Itself

Things. Were. Perfect.

The sun was smiling with his dopey grin, the people were shining with their brilliant hue, and her pie-cake factory was pumping out pie-cake after cake-pie, each sounding more happy than the last.

“All reports show premium productivity in perfect position for our pie-cakes President Pinkie.” A lab coated Sunset said as she held her clipboard. The girl she was talking to turned around in her spinning chair and smiled.

“Excellent alliteration Madame Vice President.” She smiled as she leaped onto her desk before diving into her friend while hugging her. “And an even more excellent report!” She said as she nuzzled into her like a dog. She then looked to her face, intent on expressing even more of her grat-

ROAAAAAAR!!!!!

Only to see a black skull engulfed in pink flames. She screamed in terror and tried to get away, but the thing had already wrapped its skeleton arms around her. And that wasn’t the only thing on pink fire, everything else in her dream burned the same color of flame, and it was slowly engulfing her.

“HELP ME!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!”

Pinkie Pie shot up in her bed, soaked in sweat and gasping desperately. She looked around before patting herself down to make sure she wasn’t on fire before calming down slightly. Once she regulated herself, she started sobbing quietly.

You’re alive, You’re alive,You’re alive.

Ever since she realized what she did at the warehouse, she had been getting nightmares about this… thing , in her mind. A black skeleton engulfed in hot pink flames, burning everything it touched, terrifying her awake before it could do whatever it wanted to her.

Very, very, very, very, very, not pleasant.

She had already gotten her friends in trouble with what she did at the warehouse, so there was no way she was involving them in this. Besides, it was only a dream. Or dreams, given they were happening more than once and almost daily. The effects were only in her head, and in her heart, and on her sleeping schedule.

That was until now.

She desperately ran water under right index finger with the intent of drowning it out and making it disappear, or at least put the fire out. After a few minutes she raised it to her face, seeing a soaking wet, black finger bone.

Okay, it’s not on fire anymore so that’s good. I could paint it pink and-NO!

She was interrupted by the bone suddenly bursting into flames once more, causing her to panic as she started wagging her finger at herself like- Wait, I’m not doing that. W-why would I wag my finger at myself? She thought before she came to a horrific realization the fire started to slowly spread from her finger.

I’m not in control of my finger, it is.

The Adventures of the Equestria Girls

“So, what anniversary are we celebrating?” Shining Armor asked as he sat down at the table, taking in the lovely set up they had placed in the backyard. A long dining table covered in a white cloth, with white plates set up with appropriate utensils. All the other girls aside from Sunset and Pinkie were sitting at the table.

“Glad you asked.” Rainbow said as she stood up in her chair before lighting a flashlight under face. “On this day, over a hundred years ago in the Taisho Era, an emperor's son fell ill. When the royal medics couldn’t fix him, he proposed a decree.” She then deepened her voice.

“To the one who can heal my son, I shall make it so that you want for nothing!” She then set her voice back to normal.

“Healers from across the land flocked to the Royal Palace, intent on seeking the reward for themselves. Unfortunately, they could only diagnose what was wrong with the prince. His heart had been unfit for his body, and was slowly failing him. The Emperor specified this in a renewed message throughout the land, but no one came.”

Hold on, this sounds familiar. Fluttershy thought as she listened to the story.

“Elsewhere, a young girl was playing with herself. She was poor, and an orphan, but she always found a way to make her life enjoyable. In her playtime, she had found a most peculiar object, it was metallic, but there was something about it that gave off an almost… magical , type of feeling. She had heard the message made throughout the land by the Emperor. And just felt this could help. So she brought it to the prince, who’s situation had worsened to the point where he could no longer leave his bed.”

“She held the object above his beating chest before it glowed and… sunk into his chest. Suddenly, the boy shot up, hacking and coughing, but it was more action than he had shown in the past month. He then spat out his useless, failing heart, to which the girl realized looked just like the magical object that had gone into his body. When he had finished, the boy was now more energetic and lively than all the people in the kingdom. The Emperor rejoiced and promised the girl anything she wanted through his tears of joy as he hugged his son, but the girl simply smiled and said, ‘I came to help your son, for I would want someone to help me if I was in his position.’ and left to go back to her life. The Prince and Emperor were astounded by this, as they likely would not have saved her if she was in this situation, and so the Prince made a choice.

“With his fathers wealth he purchased a house in the area she lived and went there. And from then on, he would attempt to gain her heart. The girl laughed at him every time, but over many years, she saw him as a friend.. They went on many adventures together, and she eventually agreed to move into his house. After 4 years, they shared their first kiss. The Prince would buy house after house, each time going over it with the girl for her approval, and each house would land them closer and closer to the Palace. After 4 more years, they would arrive at the very steps of the Palace where they had first met, and the Prince would get down on one knee and ask for her hand in marriage. To which she simply answered with a kiss.” With that, Rainbow sat back into her chair as everyone clapped their hands.

“That was an amazing legend, absolutely incredible.” Shining Armor said as Fluttershy was sipping her glass. I didn’t expect her to give such an in depth report. Well, we are going on a field trip to Japan soon so maybe she just got into it? I’m glad to see she’s applying herself. She thought sweetly.

“Oh that’s the best part, it isn’t a legend.” Fluttershy spit the water to the ground to avoid drawing attention before she looked at Rainbow. “A couple years ago they dug up this Emperor's tomb and had this exact legend on the tomb. He wanted his story to be remembered by everyone so much that when the Prince became Emperor he decreed his tale be inscribed on his tomb! And I bet is someone opened it up they’d find-”

“RainbowheycanIspeakwithyou?” Fluttershy said rapidly before she pulled Rainbow out of her chair and into the house.

Rarity, Applejack, Twilight and Shining Armor looked at that questioningly before they looked at each other.

“Do you guys know what that was about?” Shining asked before some animals came from under the table, causing the girls to daaaw.

“No, but Fluttershy’s work as back up entertainment has been well fulfilled. Yes it has, Yes it has.” Rarity said as she cuddled with Opaline while Winona was licking Applejack's face. Twilight ,however, looked after the two and whispered something into Spike's ear, who then nodded and ran into the house.

Shining looked at this in suspicion before rubbing the chin of the tortoise who was still slowly coming out from underneath the table before doing a double take. “Did you say back up entertainment?”

“Alright Fluttershy, what is it?” Rainbow said now that they were both inside and in the kitchen, before wincing at the glare she received. Oh boy, the stare. She thought before sighing. “So you figured me out?”

“If by ‘figure you out’ you mean I know you’re planning on checking that tomb to see if that heart exists so you can give it to Scootaloo on our field trip to Japan, then yes, yes I have figured you out.” She said curtly in anger.

Sunset had checked everything here, where was that damn computer. From what Twilight had told her, their parents lived a bit aways from Canterlot, so this house was actually Shining Armors and Twilight lived here now that she didn’t live in the dorms of Crystal Prep. So he would obviously keep the computer that would receive the email somewhere here. She thought as she continuously checked his bedroom. I’m just glad his wife is out of the house right now. She was incredibly relieved because she did not want to explain to her why she was rifling through her husband's bedroom where- Nope! Don’t go there! She thankfully interrupted herself before things could get R-rated.

Where is that- Who turned on the shower? The sounds of a shower being turned on entered her ears as she raised her eyebrow and left the room to head to the bathroom. This is where Pinkie went, did she not leave?

“Uh Pinkie?” She said as she knocked on the door. “Everything okay?” Concern seeped into her voice as she heard a yelp from inside.

“Uh Y-yeah! Everythings fine!” She said before Sunset saw a bit of smoke come into her face. What the? She said as she saw a bit more come from underneath the door. “Pinkie is something on fire?” She said, concern fully in her voice as she tried to get the door open. “Are you alright?”

“Yeah! I’m fine! Everythings fine!” There was more smoke now, wait was she sobbing? Okay, this is gonna hurt. She screwed the mission as she rammed into the door shoulder first and got into the bathroom, only to widen her eyes at the scene before her.

The source of the fire was the shower curtain(Why was it pink?) , but the source of what caused it to be on fire was a bit more weird. Pinkie was currently sobbing and curled into a ball in the tub while her left arm was gripping her right arm, which was currently nothing but black bone and currently engulfed in pink fire. The shower was spraying onto her but she didn’t seem all that wet, and if she was, the pink fire maintaining its while the right arm was trying to free itself was definitely speaking against that.

“Okay, this is… new.”

“Okay, before you get mad-” Rainbow started before Fluttershy interrupted her.

“You’re planning on desecrating a corpse for a magical artifact that may or not be real.” Fluttershy stated plainly with a look that told her she was already mad.

“Oh it’s real all right. After our little scuffle I looked for ways to get Scootaloo a new heart, only to find out they were really expensive. So I looked through the book of magical stuff Princess Twilight gave us, maybe find a humanoid creature with three hearts or something.”

“What?”

“Only to find something WAY better.” She said as she pulled up a picture on her phone of an artifact that looked like a human heart. “The Heart of Atalasia. Made to bring life to an army of stone pony statues. It was lost to time after the 2nd war between Ponies, Dragons, and Griffons, and judging on when this was, that was around the time the girl found the magical heart from the story in the Taisho Era!”

“...You didn’t even want to read a chapter of a history book.” The light pink haired girl said in shock and kind of judgment.

“Okay, that’s a different thing entirely.” Rainbow said before Fluttershy sighed.

“Look, I agree we should get Scootaloo a new heart, I am with you on that. But maybe there’s a better way than desecrating a corpse .” She said, placing emphasis on the last part, causing Rainbow to groan.

“Scootaloo’s blood type is AB Negative, that’s the rarest blood type in like… ever . And she’s a kid, the odds of an AB Negative kid dying and leaving behind a perfectly intact heart for her to use is like one in a billion! This heart is her only hope.”

“Right, and that’s why you were gonna give a presentation to us in hope that would help you?” She said as she raised her eyebrow.

“...Maybe.” Fluttershy sighed before continuing. “Look, I want to help her, but maybe you should reconsider this. You don’t exactly have the best judgment when it comes to your sister.” She said before she eeped and covered her mouth as Rainbow winced.

“Sorry I-”

“No, you’re right, and I am not doing anything like that again, but I thought she was dead, and if she was I’d do it again. I know it’s a dumb, lame, and stupid excuse, and that I should take responsibility but any one of you would’ve killed those guys.” She said coldly. “And you agree with me, or else you wouldn’t have hid the bodies.”

“WHAT?!” Both of their heads bolted towards the floor where they saw Spike, who’s eyes were widened as he backed away, fear on his face. Rainbow's eyes darted at super speeds around the room before she found what she was looking for, and in a rainbow flash, the dog was muzzled and his legs were bound with duct tape. Fluttershy gasped as she saw this.

“Rainbow-”

“Don’t worry!” She said as she tried to calm Spike down. “I’m not gonna hurt you, I’m just gonna try and convince you not to tell the others what we did.” She said before running away, and after a few minutes, coming back with a whole bag of dog kibble, to which Spike started wagging his tail in anticipation to which Rainbow smirked.

“I take it this is enough to buy your silence?” She said before she started breathing heavily. Giant bags of dog kibble were heavier than she thought. Suddenly, Spike stopped wagging his tail and closed his eyes shut and turned his head away. Rainbow groaned before putting her palm to her face.

“Okay, good thing the pet shop’s still open.” She said as she turned to Fluttershy. “Care to tell me what dogs like?”

Sunset immediately exclaimed once the shock wore off.“Pinkie! You look… great.” She continued in a calmer voice. “You get a new… arm?” Pinkie sobbed at her question while Sunset got the shower curtain soaked and deflamed.

“So I take it this is what got you asking about if our magic came from living things?” Pinkie continued to sob as she shakily nodded her head.

“Okay, this is good. I take it the reason this is happening is because of what happened at the warehouse?” For the first time, Pinkie spoke.

“Y-yeah, I was gonna g-get killed so I set m-m-m-m-my blood on fire and…I think I died.” Sunset's eyes widened to the point where she was worried they’d burst out of her sockets. “A-anand now, I get n-nightmare of this th-thing coming for me and I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!” She wailed as she was sent back to noises of sorrow.

This wasn’t good, and it had to happen now ? When they we- Calm down Sunset, she needs you right now. She sighed before thinking things over, and eventually coming up with a plan, or rather an idea.

She slipped off her leather jacket before getting into the tub with her, and getting soaked all the same. She didn’t really mind “Okay, Pinkie, I’m going to try and use my power on your arm.” She said slowly, though that didn’t really help.

“NO!” She backed further into the corner of the tub and looked away from her. “You might get hurt and I-I wouldn’t know what to do to help you and-”

“Pinkie.” She said as she reached for the flaming arm. “Whatever this thing is, it spent a lot of time inside you. I refuse to believe anything that comes from you can be all bad, or even sort of bad.” She said as she watched her curly haired friend slowly look at her. “You just need to believe in yourself. And if you can’t do that, just believe in me, your… best friend.” As much she wanted to be more than that, now was not the time. “Because I believe in you. Do you believe in me?” She said as she looked at her intently, before smiling at the nodding of her hyperactive crush. “Good.”

And then she touched the arm.

Flashes of seven creatures standing around a stone went through her mind, before they were replaced with the stone glowing seven colors before it split into two pieces, one keeping the seven colors, and the other glowing a sickly green. It was then erased with the image of a black flaming skeleton suddenly popping into existence in a white space and seeing Pinkie bleeding on the ground through a screen like thing, causing it to roar.

And then they ended.

She gasped as she came back to reality. “That was… interesting.” She said before seeing the flaming skeleton arm stop trying to move. “Uh Pinks? I think you can let the arm go now. I don’t think it’s trying to do anything to you now, thinking back on it now, I don’t think it has.” Pinkie slowly nodded before letting the arm go, only for it to wrap around her left shoulder and start patting her back. Pinkie panicked at this before being calmed down by Sunset.

“Don’t worry, I think it’s just trying to… apologize for scaring you?” She received approval as the arm gave a thumbs up before gesturing to Pinkie's body, causing Sunset to blush as she gestured to… certain parts, and curves, and-

“Oh! I think it’s saying that it’s a she?” She said before her mind could wander. Another skeletal thumbs up. “Okay, based on what I saw, I think she was trying to protect you by taking over at the warehouse when she SAW THAT YOU WERE GOING TO DIE!” She suddenly wrapped her arms around while checking her over for injuries. “Are you alright? Did you get a concussion? Did you-” She was cut off by a sound flowing into her ears before she grinned. As the skeletal arm went back to normal Pinkie Pie skin, she basked in something she hadn't heard since that damn news report came out.

Pinkamena Diane Pie laughing.

“So, we have three whole things of dog kibble, two doggy beds, a bunch of socks, four chew toys, and the addresses of all the cute lady dogs in the area. Is that enough to buy your silence?” Rainbow asked as she panted from having run back and forth from the pet shop so many times.

Spike looked at the mound of all the stuff with wide eyes before turning away. Rainbow screamed in rage and kicked over the bag of kibble. “We’re screwed!” she said as she turned to Fluttershy, who was now incredibly nervous, and breathed in and out before placing her hands on her shoulders. “Hey, don’t worry. We’re not going to go to jail. We’ll flee the country if we have to.”

“W-what?” Fluttershy said as she stammered. “We can’t do that!”

“Well it’s our only option! They may have reacted well to Pinkie but they cannot be allowed to know our secret.”

“What secret?” They both froze as Spike glowed purple and was suddenly lifted upwards and moved in the air by an unseen force before the duct tape on him was undone and he was floating next to one angry Twilight Sparkle, who viewed the scene with shock. “Why was my dog wrapped in duct tape? And why were you trying so desperately to bribe him?”

“Ummm-” They both said, unable to think of any words.

“You know what?” She said as she raised her hand. “It’s fine. I’ll just ask Spike.” She said as she turned to the dog who viewed his owner's face along with the panicked faces of his owner's friends.

“They are…” All the looks in the room intensified as he spoke, causing him to yell the last part.

“DATING!” He yelled, much to the shock of everyone in the room. What? Both girls who were at risk because of the dog thought before realizing they didn’t have much of a choice.

“Y-YEAH!” Rainbow stuttered. “W-we've been dating for a while!” She said as she grasped Fluttershy's hand, who realized she needed to take the lead on this.

“We wanted to keep it a secret and announce it to the group, so we’re pretty desperate to prevent it from getting out. Or we were .” She said in an accusatory tone to Twilight, who widened her eyes before apologizing profusely.

“I’m so sorry! I just really wanted everything to go well so we could get attention off of Pinkie Pie! Please forgive me!” She said as she clasped her hands together. Rainbow and Fluttershy gave each other a successful look before turning to Twilight.

“It’s fine, just don’t tell anyone else. We want to surprise them at a special time.” Fluttershy said while Rainbow nodded in agreement. Suddenly, Rainbow froze. “Wait, we want to make sure your brother doesn’t find out we’re secretly heroes, right?” They both turned to her and nodded, not seeing why she was bringing that up now.

“Then was leaving them with the girl who’s easily flattered and the girl who can’t lie a good idea?”

Everyone froze.

“So, I hear you two are quite talented.” Shining said as he stuck his fork into his food. Grinning as Rarity blushed and Applejack thanked him for the compliment. “So how about you tell me more about yourselves?”

“So you practically run a farm and you’ve hosted a parade?” He asked intently while the two girls smiled at the compliment. “Talk about a power couple.” The two girlfriends smiled at this before he frowned.

“Rarity, it makes me wish you would’ve designed those costumes those Equestria Girls wear.”

Rarity liked to think she was above most things. A mean word, a couple of boo’s, life ending danger, that type of thing. She had always made sure to show that on the outside, words never affected her.

Of course, it was a completely different matter on the inside. She was quite obsessive over every single syllable, if it came from someone of importance. An important designer, her boss, the Chief of Police.

“I mean sure, legally you’d be labeled a criminal but at least they’d look decent.” He said as Rarity gripped the table while Applejack gripped her girlfriend's hand, trying to get her to calm down.

“What’s wrong with how they look?” She asked simply, not coming close to even conveying a fraction of her fury.

“Oh I just think black is so boring, whoever made those costumes could’ve easily made them a darker shade of any other color. Honestly, it seems lazy on their part now that I think about it.” Rarity gritted her teeth as he ate his food. Applejack realized what Shining was doing easily.

Pinkie’s a suspect, but she’s no designer, he’s scouting us out and starting with the one he can get to the easiest. And neither of us can confront him on it or we’ll blow the whole thing open. Don’t fall for it, Rare. She thought as she watched her lover tighten her grip on the table, which was actually just a diamond platform with a giant table cloth over it.

Just as the purple haired girl was about to open her mouth. The door burst open and out came Twilight, Rainbow, and Fluttershy.

“H-Hey guys, how we doing?” Rainbow said as the three girls sat down at the table as Shining smiled.

“Just fine, I was just talking about how gaudy those outfits are that the Equestria Girls wear. I think Rarity could have some ideas on how to make them better, not that those would be in short supply.” They all tensed at the remark before seeing Rarity look angrier than they had seen her before. Hell, they even saw a vein!

“I’ll tell you exactly what I think about those outfits y-” Suddenly, two people jumped from the upstairs window and landed on the table.

“Hey Sunset?” Pinkie said as she gestured to her flame haired friend.

“Yeah Pinkie?” She over exaggeratedly said as she looked at the hot-pink haired girl.

“What did the driver say when he was pulled over by the officer who asked if he was drinking because his eyes were bloodshot?” She asked as she picked up the aforementioned vegetable.

“Why I have no idea? What did the driver say when he was pulled over by the officer who asked if he was drinking because his eyes were bloodshot?”

“He said…” She paused as she let the dramatic tension build up over the course of seven seconds as everyone slightly leaned in on instinct.

“...your eyes are glazed over. Have you been eating do-”

Shining Armor shut the door in the seven girls' faces now that they were out of the house and on the doorstep, all the pets at their sides.

The seven girls looked angrily at Pinkie who sweat dropped. “Umm, maybe I could’ve picked a better joke?”

“Yes, that could’ve been done. Sunset please tell me you found his computer, or anything he would receive emails on?” Sunset looked downwards.

“I couldn’t find anything, and I checked his whole room.” She said as she scratched her head while Twilight started questioning things.

“Then how is he-” Twilight then panicked as she heard her brother's phone ringing, at the time scheduled for the supposed email to be sent. “His phone! Ugh, he’s receiving the results over an automated phone call!” She said in despair as the girls all tensed in silence, at least wanting to hear their doom.

“Hello?” They hushed themselves as they listened in. “What do you mean, results inconclusive?” They all then heard him groan before he headed upstairs.

They stood there in silence for a few minutes before it was broken.“What on earth was that?” Rarity said as everyone else wondered the same thing.

“Results inconclusive… But that would mean it didn’t match any sample in the database when it was scanned.” She muttered to herself for a couple of seconds before turning to Pinkie. “What did you write the sample you left at the warehouse with?”

The girl in question turned to her with a raised eyebrow.“Frosting, why?” The other six girls and animals all managed to unify their response as they all slapped their palms to their faces, with Rainbow noticing Tanks speed and rapidly moved the foot to his face to give him the satisfaction of doing it with everyone else.

“So that was all fer nothing.” The cowgirl said as she laid down on a bean bag with the other girls at Pinkie's house. At least Shining kicking Twilight out of the house had given them an opportunity for an impromptu sleepover.

“Not really.” Rainbow contradicted. “I managed to get his review before he kicked us out of the house.”

“And I managed to learn some bits and pieces about the origin of the geodes.” Sunset said as Pinkie giggled and… blushed?

“And I’ve been doing some thinking.” Fluttershy said as she drew the attention of everyone before lowering the volume of her voice. “Maybe we should go on that field trip to Japan? Or at least some of us.” The others girls gained confused looks as they heard this.

“I’m not against it.” Sunset started. “But why?”

Fluttershy looked at Rainbow, who smiled. “You two are in for a treat.” She said to Sunset and Pinkie. “On this day, over a hundred years ago…”

Shining Armor wasn’t in a good mood.

He had seen many things that could fall under ‘dog gifts’ in his kitchen, which Rainbow said they had brought inside.

Upon inspection to the area around the door in the front, there was an indentation in the wall where the doorknob would hit, if it was repeatedly slammed open multiple times at high speeds.

His shower curtain was burnt, but how could that have happened? He kept the lighter stored away where not even Twily knew. It was as if someone brought their own. Or had their own.

Finally, a piece of pencil lead was split into two in the corner of the door. A little trickle employed to see if anyone went into his room. And into his room someone did go.

He didn’t have solid evidence aside from the personal type, something that didn’t hold up in the court of the law. But he was close. He was lucky he had the foresight to send those girls away so he could review the house.

I don’t want to believe those girls are criminals, but the Equestria Girls already have a body count. Twily… if you and your friends truly are the Equestria Girls I will have to bring you in. He thought solemnly.

“Sweetie! I’m ho-What’s with all the dog stuff?” He smiled as he heard his wife come in.

“Oh that, just a gift from Twilys friend Rainbow.” He said as she kissed him on the lips.

“Oh those girls are so nice. How was the little get together you guys had?”

“It kind of fell off towards the end, but all in all, it was very… informative.”

Shining Armor was in a great mood.

Fluttershy: Pet detective

View Online

Fluttershy yawned as she got out of bed, though ironically, she wasn’t tired in the slightest. Mainly because in a way, she was still sleeping. She had been knowledgeable about animals before… everything. So this was quite fortunate for her. Using unihemispheric slow-wave sleep unihemispheric slow wave sleep, she was able to allow half of her brain to rest while she went about her day as usual. When one planned to be a veterinarian, it was vital you know everything about as many animals as possible.

She smiled as she exited her room, making sure to avoid her younger brother, which had gotten easier with the powers, and the fact that he had gotten a job. She loved him, sure, but he was also incredibly… aggravating. It was the weekend, so before she could go hang out with her friends she was going to stop by the animal shelter to check on animals, make sure everything was going well.

Ding Dong

Who could that be? She thought as she made her way down the stairs and to the front door, where she opened the door to see… her.

“Hey there Flutters!” Rainbow Dash said as she gifted her a bouquet of yellow tulips. “I’m here to meet your folks!”

…Maybe there was an animal ability that could help her get out of this?

The Adventures of the Equestria Girls

“So, you’re dating our daughter?” Cumulo Shy, her father, questioned as they all gathered in the living room. Obviously in a house as quiet as hers, when Zephyr wasn’t here, anything that was a regular noise was like a shout, meaning Rainbows arrival at her house was fully known by everyone the moment she opened her mouth. She didn’t blame her father for the question, considering she wasn’t actually dating her.

Though she was very grateful to Spike, Twilight now thought they were dating. And now? So did her parents. Though it’s preferable to letting the group know we murdered two people and hid it from everyone else. Pinkie had let everyone know, or rather the news had alerted everyone and Pinkie hadn’t even remembered. Regardless, she never tried to hide anything from them. Whereas she and Rainbow were now pretending to be a couple to hide a murder.

Yeah, things were a bit different.

EIther way, they needed to act like they were in a relationship, so she supposed it was only natural they take steps even when literally no one was watching. Breathe in… Breathe out. Breathe in… Breathe out. Okay, calm down. She thought as she watched Rainbow stutter at the question she had been asked.

“Y-yeah! Yep! Indeed! I am one hundred percent totally in every possible way dating your daughter.” She said as she gave her the bouquet she still had in her hand. Awww, she got my favorite flowers and everything… Fluttershy thought briefly before whispering into the Rainbow girl's ear. “I have to get to the animal shelter to check up on the creatures there. Could you…?” She made a motion with her hand, indicating she needed to speed things up. Rainbow realized what it meant easily and looked to Fluttershy’s parents.

“Um, it was great meeting you guys,” she said as she shook both their hands before she turned to Fluttershy and grabbed her before they quickly headed out. Leaving the two parents to smile. Sure, the girl was incredibly loud but she seemed nice. She even brought over Fluttershy’s favorite flowers.

“Here we are sweetie! The animal center, or hospital, not gonna lie I get the two confused a lot.” She said after she had sped Fluttershy over after getting out of sight of anyone who didn’t know about their powers.

“Th-thank you Rainbow, but umm…” She said as she blushed. “...could you put me down now?” Had she known she would've scooped her up in a princess carry to zoom her over here she would’ve taken the risk and flown. Rainbow realized this and placed her down before dusting her off. While she did so Fluttershy asked a question that she had been thinking of ever since she showed up on her door. “You know we only have to pretend to be dating around Twilight, right?” Rainbow froze at this question, causing Fluttershy to look at her in concern. “Rainbow…?”

Suddenly, the rainbow haired girl went back to normal as she started walking her over to the door. “I know but you know her, if we don’t keep it up at all times she’ll figure somethings up and then we’ll both be-”

Fluttershy cut her off. “I get it.” She said as she sighed and opened the door. “Just you coming to my parents house was a bit-” She was cut off by the sight of a girl about Scootaloo's age with brown hair and pale yellow skin crying in one of the seats. Automatically, after looking at each other to see if they knew her and shrugging, both girls slowly walked over to her, not wanting to accidentally make things worse. “Hey there, what’s wrong?” She asked in her regular tone of voice, hoping it would be calm to her. Fortunately, it worked as the girl immediately looked at her, eyes brightening with hope.

“H-Hello, I’m looking f-for my dog, Ripley. I was hoping he was h-here?” She raised her eyebrow at the question before she took her to the animals to look around.

“Um, why do ya think your dog is here?” Rainbow asked as Fluttershy silently thanked her for asking the question. She could see why the girl would come here, but wouldn’t the first place to look be around her house? Or with her neighbors?

The girl hopefully looked around for her dog before she started crying again. “H-He’s not here!” She wailed as she hugged Fluttershy, who eeped at this before she looked to Rainbow.

Looks like this might be a bit more complicated than I thought. They both thought as the girl sobbed.

“So your dog ran out without his collar and you thought he might have ended up here? I guess that makes sense.” Rainbow said as the girl sat on a chair while Fluttershy looked at a map of the area and held it up to the girl.

“You said your house was here?” Fluttershy said with an inflection of nervousness to her voice that Rainbow picked up on. She also noticed how the yellow skinned girls eyes widened before going back to normal as the girl confirmed her house's location. After said location was confirmed, she got the girls name, Zippor Whill. I think Scootaloo and her friends might have helped her out a while ago. Rainbow thought as Fluttershy bid the girl farewell before she closed the door calmly.

Only to pick up a chair and throw it against the wall the moment she was sure the girl couldn’t hear her. “SERIOUSLY?!?! FUCK!!!” Rainbows eyes widened as the girl who she had long since had a crush on, who didn’t even like to use the word peeved, cursed.

“Ummm, I take it you know something about her dog?” Rainbow haphazardly guessed, to which the yellow skinned girl calmed down and sighed, before picking up the chair she threw and sitting it down before she herself sat on it.

“Yeah, I know who took her dog.” She said in an angry tone before Rainbow's eyes widened at both her tone and words.

“I’m sorry, took?” She asked incredulously. “Why would anyone take a dog?”

“Because it’s his job.” Fluttershy replied with air quotes, showing she didn’t take whoever they were talking about seriously. “Doug Casher, an animal control officer who takes his job so seriously, any animal that doesn’t have a collar and isn’t naturally here goes in his van, where he takes it to the pound. I’ve butted heads with him before and if not for these animals knowing me and therefore providing evidence they weren’t strays, they would’ve stayed at the pound, and eventually gotten…” Fluttershy didn’t need to finish that sentence, Rainbow had seen enough movies.

“Okay, so this is a really bad guy. How do you know he took Ripley?” She asked in response to that tangent, to which Fluttershy pointed her thumb at the map.

“I memorized his patrol routes down to the second. If Zippor’s correct about the time, that dog is going away for the unlawful crime of being a stray, when Ripley isn’t even a stray in the first place.” She said as she clenched her fist. “Now the only question is how I am going to get that dog back?”

“...Have you ever seen Ace Ventura?” Rainbow asked out of nowhere, to which Fluttershy looked to her and raised an eyebrow.

Two movies later…

“...Okay, that was very enjoyable.” Fluttershy said as she held an empty popcorn box. “But what does that have to do with me getting her dog back?” She asked as Rainbow looked at her knowingly. Honestly, even Applejack could’ve made the connection between the movie and the real life person sitting next to her, and she was brick headed as a bag of rocks.

“What if you were like him? A pet detective!” Rainbow said excitedly before she watched Fluttershy curl in on herself. “Or not…?”

“Oh no no no no no, I don’t have the confidence to do something like that, or the eccentricity. I’d snap like a twig!” She whimpered from the ball she had rolled up as. Hard to think this was the girl who was giving me the beatdown a month ago. She thought as she sighed. “So what do we do about Ripley then?” She asked as Fluttershy uncurled herself and straightened up.

“Well we’re gonna get him back.”

……

“Are you sure this will work?” Zippor asked as they went to the pound. After realizing they only needed to deal with this how Fluttershy always did, they had a plan. Zippor Whil would simply collect Ripley at the pound, simple as that. Of course they would come along in case things got rough or complicated, and because she couldn’t really do it on her own.

“Don’t worry kiddo, if there’s one person you want on your side when it comes to your pet, it’s Fluttershy, pet detective.” Fluttershy whimpered at that before straightening up. She needed to be tough for this girl. Which is why as they stopped at the desk and got the clear to go in, she made sure to put her game face on. Meaning she just didn’t smile.

Eventually, they got to the kennel they said Ripley was in, as notified by Zippor’s smile. “Ripley!” She said as she pressed her face against the gate. “I’m so happy to see you!” She said happily as Fluttershy and Rainbow looked at the dog. It seemed to be like a Dachshund mixed breed with black fur, but that wasn’t what got their attention. No, what got their attention was the fact that RIpley didn’t seem interested in Ripley at all. In fact, he didn’t even seem to notice her.

“Ripley?” She asked worriedly. “Come here boy! It’s me!” She said as her tone grew desperate as she tried to get her dog's attention, only for him to ignore her completely. “Ripley?” She asked as she tried to get the door open, only for a hand to keep the door closed.

“Sorry there little lady, but I’m afraid if that ain’t your dog you can’t take him with you.” A man with light blue skin and dark blue hair said as he properly looked at them. “Well hello there Ms. Shy.” He said as the girl he spoke to replied back with venom never seen nor heard by her friends from her.

“It’s Fluttershy, Doug.” She said as she critically looked at him. “We’re here from Zippors dog, Ripley,” Doug opened his mouth, likely to object before he was interrupted. “and before you ask for proof, show him the photos.” She said as she turned to Zippor, who pulled out some pictures of Ripley eagerly and showed them to Doug hopefully, only for that to fade as he chuckled.

“Impressive photos of just the dog, real shows me that he has owners and isn’t a stray.” He said sarcastically before started pushing them out of the cage area, much to their protest. “Now I’m gonna have to tell you to leave.” He said as they arrived back at the front office.

“NO!” Zippor yelled as she tried to get past him, only for the back of her shirt to get held by the one pushing them out. Rainbow, having had enough of the guy screwing with them, took action.

“Let go of her!” The blue skinned girl yelled as she punched him in the face. In shock, he let go of the girl as he yelled in pain, attracting the attention of everyone in the waiting area, and it was incredibly packed.

Fluttershy, boldness decayed and destroyed in front of an audience, froze as she watched Doug look at them in rage before he straightened up in the view of other people, likely not wanting to make a scene. Instead, he looked at the blood coming from his nose, leaned forwards towards them, and whispered.

“You ever come here again, for any reason, I will call the cops.” He said with nerves of steel behind his voice before he turned around and left, likely heading back on patrol. Somehow, all three girls knew he was serious.

“You bring a girl to the pound on her own and you don’t think to tell her parents?” The mother and father of Zippor said as they hugged he daughter and looked at the two girls angrily. “You are lucky we didn’t call the police.” The father said before the mother looked at them intensely. “If we ever see you around here, that will be the first thing we do.” She said before she slammed the door in the faces of the shocked girls.

As they walked away from the house, Rainbow sighed before speaking. “That…could have gone better.” She said before Fluttershy looked at her in shock and fury.

“Could have gone better?!” She yelled. “Because of you, if one of my animals gets taken to the pound, I won’t be able to go there and get them because I’ll be arrested! And now I can’t even comfort Zippor because her parents will call the cops!”

“I… okay, that’s pretty bad, let’s try and think of something. Together, I’m sure we can-”

Fluttershy snapped at the rainbow haired girl once more. “There is no we! Because there is no us! Because we aren’t dating! And if we were? I’d break up with you because you’re inconsiderate, you never think about other people, it’s always just what you wanna do! You came to my house and told my parents everything, you tried to make me a pet detective, you punched Doug in the face, and you killed those guys! Getting us into this whiole mess in the first place. For once in your life, listen to me! And leave. Me. Alone. Can you do for me that one simple thing?” She yelled before she turned around and panted. After 30 or so seconds, she turned around to see that Rainbow had listened to her.

She was all alone.

She put her face into her pillow as she laid in her bed. She hated being so… shy. Why couldn’t she have just told Rainbow she was doing too much when she showed up at her doorstep instead of letting everything out all at once? Now she had to deal with all of this alone. Though knowing Rainbow she would’ve found a way to mess things up. She thought as she remembered how she always went all out when she tried to solve something.

“Helloooooooo! Sister dear!” She groaned as her brother entered the room. “You will not believe the day I’ve had.” He said as he started going on about some girl at the cashier as she tried to drone him out, before he actually looked at her and noticed her position. “What’s wrong?”

“I don’t wanna talk about it.” She said from the pillow. Given her brothers… crush? On Rainbow, she didn’t want to risk telling him. That would be a whole new issue to deal with.

“Is it about your girlfriend?” She raised her head as he spoke. “I admit Rainbow can be a bit much but-”

“W-wait, you aren’t sad that she’s dating me?” She asked curiously and hesitantly. That wasn’t like the Zephyr she knew.

“While it is a loss, it’s only natural that she be turned away by the sheer magnitude of the Breeze.” Yeah, the magnitude of his ego. She thought before she chuckled as he sat on her bed. “So what happened?” He asked before she ended up sighing and telling him everything that had happened, with some obvious revisions. After she told him the part that led to her walking home alone, he whistled.

“Dang, I kind of thought you two would last longer.” She raised her eyebrow noticeably before he took notice of it and continued. “No matter what you both don’t stop until you’ve done the right thing.” He said before he patted her back. “I’m sure you guys will figure something out. If not, you can always count on your brother to clean up after you.” He bragged before she pushed him out of her room and closed the door. But not before uttering a thank you.

She then looked out to the window as the sun set, making way for the full moon. It might not be her day to patrol, but she definitely had a job to do right now.

Fauna Girl entered through the vents of the pound, thankful snakes were so flexible. She then dropped down and silently looked around for the keys before she heard a whistle behind her.

“Well I’ll be, didn’t think I’d ever see another being from Equestria here.” She widened her eyes before she whirled around to see Doug, but what was he doing here? She got her answer his features grew more canine as his mouth extended and fur grew over his body. His ears pointed upwards as his feet, which she now realized were bare, became dog like, or wolf like.

“I wonder how you’ll taste.” A seven foot tall werewolf said he smacked his lips and lunged towards her.

“Stupid, stupid, stupid.” Rainbow said as she laid in bed. “Finally in a relationship with Fluttershy and I screw it up.” She felt a nudge to her face as she looked at Tank, who looked at her with a knowing look. “Okay so I was never actually in a relationship with her, but it doesn’t change the fact that she said she’d break up with me if we were dating. Which we weren’t but… you get the point.” She said as she picked him up and held him above her face.

“I guess I thought we could maybe try and date now that some people thought we were. That was wishful thinking at best though. Who would want to date a murderer?” So she told her tortoise everything, including what she did with two of the guys at the docs. People did weirder things with their pets. She then felt her tortoise lick her on the cheek, stopping her movements so he could finish. She then looked at him gratefully as she hugged him.

“Aw you always know what to say.” She said before she noticed the time. “Looks like it’s time to go speeding.” It was her night out after all.

The Adventures of the Equestria Girls

Fauna Girl dodged the bite before wrapping her body around the werewolf, restricting its movements with the strength of a python…she cared for all types of animals. She was just fortunate Rarity had been able to make her costume more flexible. “What are you?” She asked as she struggled to keep him still, not an easy task in the slightest.

Doug smirked as he stopped moving. “A Hāfuurufu, though in all honesty, I prefer the term werewolf. Has a bit of a bite to it.” He grinned before he continued. “I was banished here from Equestria after a purge of my kind, courtesy of my kind being quite carnivorous. I was a human here, but luckily the world didn’t affect my wolfly powers and I’ve been here ever since. Surviving off the animals you humans threw away. Even if they don’t have any magic, they make up for it in sheer quantity!” He yelled before he threw himself to the ground, back first, the pain causing Fauna Girl to lose her hold on him. He grinned before he picked her up and slammed her to the ground, causing the animals around them to stir.

He then got up and pinned her down before he leaned into her face and sniffed her repeatedly before looking slightly disappointed. “Hmm, so you aren’t from Equestria. You’ve just been soaked in its magic. How does that happen? And why do you smell so familiar?” He asked before opening his jaws wide open. “Whatever, time to die.” He said before he prepared to chomp down on her.

“Wow, who said pounds weren’t doing their job?” A distorted voice said before Doug would feel something tug on his tail and he turned around to see a Spectrum Streak pulling at it. He snarled at her before she started speeding around him, wrapping his body in leashes and hitting him on the head repeatedly. As he moved around trying to hit her, he ended up tripping on his tail and falling to the ground. As he struggled on the ground, Spectrum dashed in front of Fauna Girl and put out her hand. “So who’s Clifford the big blue dog?” She asked as she helped her up.

“It’s Doug, he’s a werewolf from Equestria who’s been eating animals here. The only reason he didn’t figure out I was me was because I washed my suit.” Hygiene was important, even for clothes that didn’t exist most of the time.

“Oh that’s actually a really good idea. Better make sure he doesn’t smell me.” Spectrum said, and before Fluttershy could reply to that and what it meant, she heard snapping sounds as Doug slowly rose from his position on the ground. “I think we better get to work.” She said as she turned to Fauna Girl, who nodded before she noticed the animals and heard what they were saying.

I miss my human!

Scary! Scary!

Take me home!

As the cries of the animals entered her ears, she made a decision. “I’ll take on Doug, you need to get every animal here out of their cages.” She said as her arms bulked up.

Spectrum looked at her in shock that was masked due to the goggles and face mask. “Didn’t this guy just floor you?” She questioned even as her eyes were darting around, looking for the keys.

“Tr-true,” She admitted as she curled in on herself before straightening up. “But that was before I realized how many of these animals were on his menu. I can’t just leave them, after all I am a pet detective.” She said as she smirked under the mask before she rushed forward, leaving Spectrum Streak to look in shock before she grinned.

“Aww yeah!” She said as she grabbed the keys and started unlocking the cages, causing Doug to growl.

“My food!” He yelled before he was socked in the face by Fluttershy, who was plenty angry from the day she had. Doug roared before slashing at her arm, smiling as he drew blood and made the girl scream before she headbutted him, causing him to stagger disoriented.

She then landed multiple hits on his gut before he brought both fists down, slamming her to the ground. He then grinned as he picked her up and spun around before throwing her past the cages, causing Fluttershy to gasp before activating her powers, right before she was sent through the metal door to front office, where she hit the wall and fell to the floor as she groaned in the waiting room. As she did so, her back turned from tortoise shell to normal, and she gratefully thanked Tank for her not broken back. She then saw Doug coming and hid.

Doug rushed into the waiting area before looking around, curious at the lack of the girl. Suddenly, a drop of blood fell onto his nose, causing him to growl and look upward as Fauna Girl fell from the ceiling and wrapped her legs around his neck before turning them serpentine as she attempted to strangle the wolf man. Come on, come on! She thought as she screamed in pain as he clawed her and rammed his back against everything and anything in the room, trying to stop her from restricting his air flow.

Eventually, he fell to the ground as his breathing yielded no air, slumping harmlessly to the ground, presumably unconscious. Fluttershy panted as she unwrapped her legs from around his neck, groaning as an alarm rang in her ears. Of course all the alarms went off. She thought before she winced. My legs are hurt real bad, all I’m able to do is barely walk. She thought as she started crawling with her arms, not wanting to put stress on her legs. I got to get to Rain- Oh no. She thought in fear as a shadow loomed over her.

“Knew playing dead would get ya.” Doug said as he prepared to rip her to shreds. Only to be slugged by a fist that sent him out of the pound and into the streets, causing more than a few cars to honk and swerve, and more than those to stop for their passengers to take pictures.

Spectrum skidded to a stop before rushing over to Fauna Girl. “Sorry about that, I needed to get momentum.” She apologized before she gasped at her leg's condition. “We gotta get that fixed up.” She said as she hoisted her into her arms in a familiar princess carry, much to her hidden blush, and carried her slowly outside, likely wanting to slowly speed up.

Only for a cop car to stop at the werewolf in the streets and spot them leaving them front. Two officers got out, one calling in for backup and the other training her gun on the two heroes. “Both of you, on the ground now!” She ordered. Spectrum froze as she looked around, quickly taking in her surroundings. People recording, Fluttershy's wounded, the cops can deal with big blue and ugly. She decided before she rushed away, grateful to be faster than a speeding bullet.

Fluttershy groaned as she opened her eyes. She tried to move around before wincing at a pain that came from her legs. What the? She thought before she looked around to see she was on the roof of a… house? No, it was a building. She looked at her legs and saw that they had been bandaged along with her arm.

“Yeah, you might wanna not put too much pressure on your legs.” She turned to see Rainbow, costume off, sitting close to her. “I bandaged them up but at the end of the day I’m no doctor. In fact I only got the supplies because we’re on top of a hospital right now.” Fluttershy looked at her with a raised eyebrow before she responded to her silent question. "Um... yeah I ended up getting to know my way around the place thanks to Scootaloo practically living here when she was younger." She said as she chuckled awkwardly at the silence.

“...Rainbow, thanks fo-”

“I like you. Like, like like you.” FLuttershy froze as Rainbow specified the term ‘like’. “I have, for a while, definitely before this all started, and definitely before Princess Twilight came to this world. When we had to pretend to be dating I thought of it as like a golden opportunity to actually date you.” She said before she put her hands on her face. “I’m sorry I went overboard, and I’m sorry I dragged you into my mess. And I’m sorry I ruined things at the pound. I just, like you so much and I think you’re like this amazing person who is so kind and awesome and… I wouldn’t want to date me either.” She finished before she curled up into a ball.

…Fluttershy slowly put her hand on Rainbow's shoulder. “I… admire you too.” She said, causing Rainbow to look at her. “And I said I would break up with you, not that I wouldn’t want to date you.” She specified as the blue skinned girl widened her eyes.

“What are you saying?” She asked as she moved closer to her face… only for Fluttershy to stop her with one hand.

“I’m saying… I want to give it a chance. I wanna give… us a chance.” She said slowly as she hugged her friend with the one arm that was uninjured. She then smiled before asking her something.

“You wanna go out for lunch?”

“So it turns out Doug had started drugging animals so they wouldn't react to their owners.” Fluttershy said as she sat in front of Trixie. “They wore off around the time I broke in so they knew how to get home.” She said fondly. “We saw Ripley playing with Zippor earlier today.”

“And not to mention.” Rainbow said as she leaned on Fluttershy's shoulder, who smiled. “Now people come to Fluttershy for pet related problems, thanks to the press Zippor drummed up about us helping her, even if she thinks we failed.” They couldn’t just tell a girl about their identities.

“And Doug is in jail now. He’s kept away from anyone he might bite and everything. Of course, now we’re public knowledge.” They both tensed at that. The public now has proof super powered people lived in their world. This couldn’t be ignored by anyone.

“You two will figure out a way, I’m sure.” Trixie said as she looked at the clock and gasped as the alarm beeped signaling the end of the session. With no bombshell. She got out of her chair and cheered as Fluttershy and Rainbow walked away with their hands holding each other, glad they held off on telling her they were actually truly considering dating, thanks to how well things had been going.

She deserved a break, they couldn’t bear to see the girls happy face break into another stressful reveal.

Fluttershy smiled as she cataloged multiple dates and requests for clients. She didn’t think becoming a Pet Detective would be so hectic. And now I’m using the name. She thought before seeing Flash exit the pet area. “Oh, you’re heading out now?” She asked as she looked up from her seat. She had been grateful for the help, especially since her leg wounds made moving around a challenge, even though they would heal soon enough. Thank dogs for their saliva.

“Yeah, I’ve got some other things planned.” He said as he waved goodbye before heading out. Flash smiled as he walked onto the streets. It was nice, taking care of animals. He thought before a man in all black grabbed him and pushed against the wall of the building.

“Your money, now!” He yelled before Flash froze… before chuckling. “What the hell? You think this is funny?” He said as he pulled out a knife. "You're about to get gutted you idiot!"

"I-I'm sorry." He slowly stopped laughing as he grinned and held a hand towards him. “You just have really bad luck.”

“Your money, now!” He yelled before Flash froze… before chuckling. “What the hell? You think this is funny?” He said as he pulled out a knife. "You're about to get gutted, you idiot!"

"I-I'm sorry." He slowly stopped laughing as he grinned and held a hand towards him. “You just have really bad luck.”

Only for the mugger to knock his hand away and shove him harder face first against the wall. Flash groaned as he was hurt once more.

“What the fuck was that supposed to do?” He asked angrily as he held the knife to his back.

“I honestly thought it would be cool.” He said as the pain made him wince. Suddenly, he felt the pain go away. Slowly, he turned around to a costumed figure in black blue standing over the unconscious body of the mugger,

“…What the-“

The Adventures of the Equestria Girls

Flash grinned widely in a form of shock as he recounted the events to the police as he was checked over while Fluttershy listened in. For someone who’s just gotten attacked, nearly mugged, and nearly killed, he was surprisingly happy.

Of course, he had also just been saved by a hero so there was also that.

It was Twilights night out and her costume didn’t have a hint of blue on it. For that matter, the only one of them who had a costume with blue in it was Rainbow and Pinkie. And both of them had colors to accompany that. So there was only one explanation left.

There was another hero.

It was a hectic day at Canterlot High. Well, more hectic than usual. There was a very logical explanation for that. The trip that was taking them to Japan, the one that most would kill to go on, was leaving that day.

Good byes were being said, wishes of good fortune were being chanted, and for a very special group of friends…

“So you both are sure you can handle this, right?” Sunset assured the two staying behind to watch over the city. Under normal conditions they all would’ve gone. But their lives were anything but normal.

Scootaloo needed that magical heart, the only problem with that was that it was believed to currently be in a museum. Meaning that should it be the actual one they would have to steal it.

This combined with the other self imposed task they had with protecting the city made things a bit difficult.

Fortunately for all of them, since they would be stealing the heart from a museum, the answer as to what to do was simple. Just leave the ones least suited for stealth behind to hold down the fort.

Rainbow and Pinkie weren’t exactly happy to be chosen stay behind, especially since the one they were getting the heart for was her little sister, but everyone knew about their failed attempt to spy on Crystal Prep.

Though on a separate note, they were arguably the most powerful of the seven girls, though Pinkie was a more than a bit reluctant to use her power on her body, which was understandable.

Rainbow could probably keep the whole city safe on her own. There was no one who could escape her. And what she lacked in actual attack power against opponents could be made up for by Pinkie.

“Of course we can handle this!” Rainbow said as she leaned on Pinkies shoulder. “You go get the… experience of a life time.” She said with a grin as she realized they were out in the open.

“Yeah!” Pinkie said excitedly as Rainbow winced before she started hugging everyone. “You guys go have the time of your lives and when we get back together we’ll have the biggest party ever! And after that we can-“ Rainbow put her hand on the girls mouth as she rolled her eyes with a smile on her face.

Fluttershy then pulled her off to the side and whispered to her. “Now you’ve been helping out in the shop and Flash can help with the animals, but are you sure you won’t do anything drastic?” She said as she pulled her into the bathroom and her ears twitched, probably checking that there wasn’t anyone in the bathroom.

Rainbow sighed as she went for the door to leave. “Don’t worry, I’ve got this.” She said before hearing Fluttershy groan.

“People are dead! This isn’t a game!” She yelled, causing Rainbow to pause before turning around slowly to see Fluttershy with both hands covering her mouth.

The blue skinned girl sighed before clasping both her hands and looking at her genuinely. “I promise you I won’t do anything drastic.” She said earnestly, causing the usually shy girl to smile before hugging and heading towards the bathroom door.

As this happened, Rainbow bit her lip before asking her something. “Hey, when you get back, you wanna go on an actual for real date?” She asked eagerly, only for the door to close right in her face.

…Not a no.

“Okay Pinkie, you make sure to call if anything comes up okay?” Sunset asked the pink skinned girl as she nodded properly with grin her face.

“You’ve got it! Something comes up, I’ll call you so fast you’ll have to pick up the phone five seconds earlier to pick up on time!” She said before Sunset put a finger to her mouth to shush her as her flame haired friend chuckled.

“I get the point.” Sunset said with a smile as she hugged Pinkie, who squealed and hugged back tightly. As she heard Sunset gasp for air, she let go before facing her breathing heavily before shakily smiling at her.

“Stay safe, okay?” She asked earnestly, causing Pinkie to look back with an equally sincere smile.

“You’ve got it Sunset.” Pinkie replied before the students were all called to board the bus, signaling every one of the seven girls to do a group hug before they all separated. Pinkie noticed Sunset looking at her, as if she wanted to say something, before shaking her head and going to the bus.

Pinkie tilted her head to the left, right, back, then forward before she put her hand to her chin.

“So after that, I started wondering if she wanted to tell me something, and if she did, was it something big ? What if it’s something small? Or short? Or tall? Or wide? Or thin? Or fast? Or slow? Or smart?”

“Pinkie…”

“Or dumb? Or up? Or down? Or blue? Or red? Or sideways? Or horizontal?”

“Pinkie…”

“Or liquid? Or yellow? Or black? Or solid? Or manageable? Or magenta? Or gaseous?” She said before she was interrupted.

“Pinkie!”

She paused as she pouted and sat up from hanging from the student desk by her legs as if it were monkey bars on the playground that she used to play on and maybe still did from time to time.

As she faced Mr. Doodle in his classroom she finished with a frown on her face. “Or what if it’s bad?”

As she spoke this, Mr. Doodle went from annoyed to lightly annoyed, which was better because of the lightly, which was one letter off from slightly.

“Tell me, what is our relationship?” He asked as he leaned on his teachers desk.

She shot up and grinned as she started talking. “Oh that’s easy peasy peachy keeny! We’re best friends who always have each other’s-“

“Okay I’m gonna stop you right there.” He stopped her as she turned upside to listen to him.

“You are a student, I am a teacher, that is our relationship. Friends would go out and see the movies. If you and I did that, your parents would have full rights to call the cops and I would be fired unless I had full permission from your parents and there was some educational benefit from it and the school approved it. We are not friends.” Pinkie pouted at that as he continued.

“When I first moved here, you wouldn’t stop bugging me and had you not been a child I would’ve called the cops. Fortunately, I knew you weren’t anything worth doing that so I called your parents. The next day you came back with another woman, and one month later she moved in with me.” He smiled fondly as he looked at the picture on his desk of him and Matilda before he turned back to her.

“That was because you were someone who wanted the best for everyone, saw the best in everyone, and didn’t stop until you saw people smile.” He then looked at her from across his desk.

“I promise you this, whatever Sunset wanted to say to you, it won’t be anything bad.” Pinkie smiled at that.

“Awwwww…” She said, causing Mr. Doodle to groan and sigh.

“Now school has been out for an hour. If you don’t have anything to do regarding your studies, leave.” He said as he stood up and walked towards the door before opening it and pointing to the hallway.

“…if I have twleve cakes and-“

“OUT!”

Rainbow dashed around the animal hospital, feeding the animals, putting them away, letting some out to exercise as she groaned and talked to the pets.

“So maybe I could’ve said yes instead of springing it on her, that parts on me.” She said as she threw some food into the dog cage.

“But that doesn’t change the fact that there were only a few answers to the question.” She said as she unlocked the cages.

“Yes.” Unlock the lizard cage.

“No.” Another unlcok, this time a bird.

“And ‘I’ll think about it.’” She said in a sing song high pitched voice as she picked up a koala and put in on a branch of the tree inside the play area. “And that’s basically a no.” She said before she ran over to fill the bowls with water.

“And she didn’t tell me any of them! What does that mean?!” She yelled as the animals widened their eyes at the water bowls over flowing.

“Does that mean no? Why would she say no?! I’m likeable right?!” She frantically yelled as she looked at the animals. “I asked you a question!” This caused the animals to start growling, chittering, and squawking, causing Rainbow to literally slip up on the water of the overflowed water bowls which had spilled onto the floor under her feet.

She groaned as she fell on her ass. “Ouch.” She said as she realized the animals were probably answering her. Only she couldn’t talk to animals.

“Ugh, I hate this.” She said as she laid sprawled in the puddle of her own making. She stared up at the ceiling before a face blocked it out, causing her to squint as she made out Flash’s face. Looking down at her in amusement, and questioning.

“…How much of that did you see?” She asked dryly as she felt everything she wore get wet as it soaked up the water she lay in like a sponge.

He looked at her sheepishly as he scratched the back of his head.

“The entire time?”

“The entire time.”

Pinkie sighed as she bounced from tree to tree, picking all the apples for the day. She and Rainbow had decided to split their friends tasks into three tasks.

Fluttershy animal hospital (Everyone just called it that.)
Applejack farm duty
Rarity dress stuff (She had made dresses for the clothes boutique she worked at they weren’t gonna deliver themselves! :))

While Pinkie was sure she’d be able to do at least all of them, she was happy to have help from Rainbow by her doing the other two. Hopping from tree to tree was hard! Though she’d do it for her friends family that might be her family!

As she hit tree after tree with her hip, collecting the apples as they all fell, she pondered what Sunset could’ve been wanting to say.

“Pinkie, wanna make a cake with me?”

No, Sunset likes cakes but she doesn’t like making them.

“Pinkie, I wanna help you make a party cave like in your dreams!”

No, she doesn’t know I’ve had that dream, and no one knows how caves are made.

“Pinkie, help me replace my hair with sparklers!”

…Well there isn’t a ZERO percent chance of that… NO! Sunset wouldn’t want that! As fun it sounds!

As she cycled through possibilities she gathered apple after apple for her friends family that might be her actual family.

Two security officers were watching the cameras and footage of the city prison as they monitored the criminals.

One of them was eating a sandwich as he chatted. “So my kids birthday is coming up, any ideas on what I should get her?” He asked his friend, who hummed in thought as they both stood up.

“Maybe get her one of those stuffed animals?” He asked as he started shimmering and glowing green.

“Good idea.” The first officer said as the illusions faded out of existence. Back on the ground next where the officers had been sitting originally in chairs were the two officers dead bodies sliced into chunks. And in the chair one of them sat in was a figure with a black cloak.

“Hmmm.” A distorted voice hummed. “Given who stayed, these two should be more than enough for my little demonstration of power.” It said before it pressed a button, allowing the figure to talk to the two prisoners that had been selected.

“I am Jokai. The guard that was once here talked of getting a present. I can think of no better present for a seething soul than revenge.”

“So… who’s in?”

Under the Hiruko mask, Jokai smiled as confirmation was given by the two prisoners.

“This is gonna be fun.” Jokai said as their foot stepped down on a chunk of flesh.

“So what’s new with you?” Rainbow asked Flash as she wrung out her clothes in a separate room. The boy hummed as he looked at his wrist.

“Well aside from the run in with the one who saved me, nothing. Got some new bracelets so that’s fun.“ Rainbow widened her eyes at that. She had heard from Fluttershy but…

“Yeah, you think it’s one of those Equestria Girls?” She asked, trying to sound disinterested.

“Given how it was definitely a guy? Nah, I don’t really think so.” As he mopped up her mess, she clenched her fist. “He handled it pretty quickly too.” Fist clenching harder. “Like one second he was on me with a knife to my back and the next moment that guy was on the floor.” He said in awe as Rainbow grinded her teeth together before she took a deep breath in before slowly breathing outwards.

“I’m gonna go do the deliveries for Rarity.” She said calmly as she got up and headed to the door with her freshly wrung clothes on.

Flash saw this and held his keys up. “You need a ride? It’s a while to go to her house and then the shop.” She scoffed as she exited through the door.

“It’s fine, I’m captain of every sports team for a reason.” She said before the door closed and Flash was left to put away the cleaning supplies.

“Yep.” He said looked around. “She is definitely not fine.”

“I am totally fine!” Rainbow yelled as she waved the dresses around in the air in front of Tank. “Do I LOOK like someone who isn’t FINE!!!???” She asked angrily as Tank slowly widened his eyes as he started moving his head towards her. Rainbow sighed before she sped off.

Forty-five seconds later, as Tanks head finally got to where her body was, Rainbow sped back into position to allow him to nuzzle her, having dropped off the dresses.

She sighed as she calmed down as her pet tried his best to calm him down. She sat down and held him in her arms as she sat down in a criss-cross. “Thanks Tank. I guess combined with Fluttershy not answering me back, this new guy’s just got me in a cyclone of anger. I mean, who does he think he is?” She asked rhetorically.

“I do my work in the dead of night and he just gloriously takes down the bad guy and lets someone see him in the evening! …Alright they sound similar, but it took me weeks to get in the news, and this guy’s probably gonna be a hot topic for a week because of one fight. And what’s the big fuss over that ‘fight’?” She said mockingly as she rolled her eyes. “Flash said he took out the guy by surprise.” She scoffed at that.

“I bet I could beat him easily.” She mocked confidently before she widened her eyes and stopped talking. This caused Tank to pale as he assumed the worst and tried to do something before he was suddenly on the bed and the door slammed shut.

It was times like this he hated being slow.

“So uh, why did you want all the information on where I saw the new hero?” Flash asked over the phone as Rainbow got dressed on the rooftops, obviously making sure no one could see her.

“No reason.” She said as she slid the pants up, grateful Rarity had accounted for her muscles in making their superhero costumes/ disguises. Usually she would just snap her fingers and magic magic magic… suit on! Unfortunately, magic suits didn’t wash themselves.

Even more unfortunately was that Rainbow discovered this after she ran into several trash cans, causing her to slip and fall into a garbage truck. Which she was able to be let out of… by the garbage truck dumping off everything at the landfill. She was able to get back home easily enough, detransform, and begin the long long long process of cleaning herself. The worst part was she had just cleaned the last of the smell off her when she suited up and the smell returned with a vengeance.

The only bit of good news was now all Rainbow had to do was put it on. As she stood in her outfit, she looked to the phone with the face mask pulled down so she could talk normally. “Thanks for the help Flash.” She said before she hung up and put the mask back on.

This new hero thought he could muscle in on her turf? Thought he was better than her? Well she had news for him.

“Spectrum Streak doesn’t take lightly to stuff like that.” She said as she pulled her hood up and dashed off into the city.

Jokai in all her disguise marveled at the work they had done on the two prisoners. Honestly? He could count on these two to make a mess of things while they were away. “Now remember boys.” It said as headed out. “Just do as much damage PoSsIbLe.” The distorted voice said before continuing.

“I’m going to take a vacation in jAPAN.”

Rainbow dashed around the city as she looked for that new hero. It was simple, she would just find him and then everyone would… She stopped as she realized how crazy she sounded and slowed down so she could land on the roof ledge of a building.

“Okay…” She said as she started talking to herself in her distorted voice. “Maybe I might be a bit stressed with her not responding to me on my question.” She said as she started walking alongside the ledge. “Maybe I shouldn’t go and prove I’m stronger than him. I did promise her I wouldn’t do anything drastic.”

She thought about how she promised Fluttershy she wouldn’t do anything like she did at the docks. Maybe asking her childhood friend to go on a date right after that was a bad idea. Besides, this new guy saved Flash, so maybe he wasn’t so bad!

Ugh, competitiveness helps a lot in sports, maybe not so much in super heroing. She thought as she calmed down and laughed. What did I really think I was going to do? Go and beat him up? She thought humorlessly as she remembered something she had read a while ago from that book Sunset had given her about the other version of her getting a big ego and her friends of that world masquerading as a hero to teach her a lesson. Or maybe that was the updated version? Whatever.

She shook her head as she rationalized herself. Well, if she wasn’t gonna prove she was better than this new guy she could at least catch more criminals than him. Looks like it is currently nine forty-three, I have all night to catch ten times more criminals than him. She said as she dashed off as she heard a crash and screams.

Or maybe just focus on that.

A car exploded as she dashed onto the scene before she widened her eyes at what she saw. It was an orange metallic armored person… who was hovering above the ground. Huh. She thought as she looked at him, because it was definitely a man. Or maybe it was a woman in an armored suit that made her look like a man.

You know what? Whatever. She thought as she looked at it. “You know, it’s hard enough to get people to like me. You’re not doing me a favor by wrecking this place.” The being tilted its head at her.

“I remember you.”

She tilted her head in response to that. “Funny, I think I would remember you.” She said before she sped towards it, getting a running start to leap in the air and punch it. Only for it to hold out a hand which glowed green and shot at her, holding her in place midair.

“What the-!?” She said before she was launched downwards and into the ground face first. Ouch. She thought before she was raised in the air before being smashed into the ground once more.

“I wonder how many times I get to do this before your bones break?” It said in a sadistic tone of pure enjoyment.

Okay, this person definitely hates me. Definitely remembers me. Another slam as she the ground started to crack. And is definitely going to break my bones soon. She thought in pain as she was raised high in the air.

Okay… replace soon with now.

The Adventures of the Equestria Girls

As she was forced into the ground, the pressure increased as she was pressed downwards like she was being stomped on by a giant elephant.

She could feel the pain being forced on her body. She was an athlete, but that was all useless if she couldn’t move!

Shit, I’m… blacking out… I can… barely… brea… She thought as her vision slowly began to dull and lessen as she lost strength in her body as it gave in to the pain. Slowly but surely, the body became limp and the orange armored started cackling robotically.

Before the pressure suddenly released as she heard the voice scream in shock. Taking a moment to adjust to her new found freedom and lack of pain, she then looked to see the orange armored thing with a smoking chest, sprawled out as it groaned.

She raised her eyebrow before she looked around, wondering what happened before stopping. “You’ve got to be kidding me…”

Standing away from her was a man in a padded black suit with blue lightning stripes. He had black helmet with blue lighting stripes coming from the goggle portion.

“We should go. Now.” The new hero said before he started running away from the area. Rainbow questioned this before she saw that the orange freak was getting up. Okay, seconded. She thought as she scooped him up and dashed away.

As the orange figure regained functionality, it spoke to no one as it looked around. “I think I’ve got her attention.”

Another voice replied with a hint of joy. “Good.”

“Left here.” The new hero said as he directed her throughout the city. She mentally groaned at that before she shook her head. Whatever. She thought before he stopped giving directions and they stopped in an alley.

He got out of her arms as he started climbing those weird metal stair railings. “The people who live here are never home, we can coordinate here.” He said as he got to a window before looking down at her. “Are you coming?”

“…Okay what is with your voice?” She asked in confusion. “It’s like static or something.”

“Your voice isn’t that normal itself.” She scoffed as she heard him joke. Guess that meant he was distorting it somehow. Or his voice was normally like that, though she was unsure how he could hide that. Meaning it was likely the first one.

She sped up the railings and in through the window as he opened it up. When she got in, she was shocked at the dullness of it. There was a couch that looked like it was breaking apart, the wall paper was tearing off, she couldn’t see an actual photo anywhere. It was like the most depressing room thing she’d ever seen. She then realized how silent things were and realized she had been talking out loud.

“Wow, you should be a critic.” He said as the speedster awkwardly chuckled.

“Just one of my perks.” She said as she tried to turn the conversation away from her rudeness and bluntness. “So, why did you save me?” She asked suspiciously as the guy tilted his head.

“Well that thing was gonna kill you, did I need a reason?” He said with his weird voice as Rainbow hummed in thought before grimacing. “Besides-”

“I was planning on beating you in a fight after challenging you.”

“-I thi- Wait what?” The male asked as he jerked his head towards her.

“Yeah I got jealous after you saved that kid and everyone started talking about you.” She said as she remembered how she found a multitude of articles on him, all speculative.

“Wow, this happen often?” He asked as she shrugged.

“What can I say? I get jealous easily. Like when people sing the praises of someone who’s barely done anything.” She said before wincing. “Though thanks for saving him.” She said as she sat on the armrest of a couch. “From what I heard of the story he could’ve been killed.”

“Eh, no biggie. You would’ve done the same. Any one of you. Weirdly enough you girls are why I went out dressed like this in the first place. Speaking of which, you might wanna call your friends.” He suggested.

She raised her eyebrow at that. “Why? I think we can take him.” She said as she tilted her head.

“Usually yes, but this is no ordinary criminal. Usually one of us could take him but… this thing is different. Besides, I picked up a signal from that thing as we fled-”

“How’d you do that?”

“-It was talking to something else. It has backup, we need the same.” He said as he turned on an old tv. He angrily knocked it as all he got was static before he groaned and pulled out his phone.

Rainbow noted the phone in question. “Hey, I’ve seen that before…” She said in confusion. But where? She thought before shaking her head. “Sorry, they are out, like overseas out.”

“Really? Can’t you run on water with your speed though?” He asked in curiosity, causing her to blush under the face mask.

“Alright.” Rainbow said on a video as she videoed herself near a lake. “Running on water, test one!” She said in excitement before she dashed to the lake…

…Only to fall right through the water.

Needless to say, the thousand two hundred and thirty seven times didn’t go so well. She would’ve tried to do it more but she did have a life.

“It’s not going to work, I can’t run on water that easily.” Or at all. She thought in embarrassment.

“Well, that’s a bummer.” He said as he put his phone away. “That thing’s on a rampage, we need to go now.” He said as he headed to the window before he noticed the superheroine pinching the bridge of her nose. “What is it?”

“There is someone I can call. Though I’d rather not.” She said hesitantly before groaning. “Ugh! Whatever! Oh I’m gonna regret this.”

“...Who are you calling?” The black and blue suited man asked.

“Someone who deserves a break, but can’t take one right now.” She said as she went out through the window so he wouldn’t see her phone and sent a text message, knowing there wasn’t time for a full call.

She sent the location and the link to the live news so her friend would know where to go.

“Alright.” She said as the other one came through the window and she paused and turned to him. “So I know I’m Spectrum Streak, but what do I call you?” She said as they prepared to go.

“...Plasma.”

The floating orange figure cackled as it lifted cars into the air and threw them at people, who screamed as they tried desperately to avoid the vehicles.

“Come out, come out… Wherever you are…” It said repeatedly as it kept causing destruction. As it threw a car at a building, it exploded after a few seconds, causing flames to engulf that part of the building.

Come on… you’re gonna have to… come out eventually… Or I’ll destroy… everything… either way… win.

Suddenly, a flying fist hit it in the face as it was sent to the ground. It sprawled on the ground as it looked up to the boy and Spectrum Streak looking down on him.

“And you said we needed help to beat him.” Spectrum said as it growled menacingly before it shot out two green rays of energy at its sides and grabbed two cars before he slammed them together on the two heroes. He cackled as he crushed the cars together.

“Wow, what did I do to make you hate me so much?” His head shot to the side as he saw Spectrum standing to the side before the cars he crushed together started glowing heat before they burst apart to see the other hero with glowing blue hands.

“That was… unpleasant.” He said in a staticy voice as he held a glowing hand towards it.

“THAT IS SO COOL!!!!” Spectrum yelled before she froze and realized the scenario and slowly composed herself.

“…Now then, where were we?”

“I think we were asking this thing why it hates me so much.” Spectrum asked before it started with the orange armor started growling.

“You really don’t remember!!?/ After what she did to me!!??” It said as it thrashed around, causing the two to look at it in shock.

“Dude, calm down. It’s not like-”

“Like you what!? Like you humiliated me!? Like you destroyed me!? AND YOU DON’T EVEN REMEMBER!!!” It screamed as the two heroes looked at it in shock.

“What did you do?” Plasma asked in shock as it suddenly shot up into the air.

“How am I supposed to know!?” She asked in shock before something came from the head of the thing, causing her to widen her eyes. “...no…”

“No? No, what?”

“It’s impossible.”

“What’s impossible?”

“This can’t be.”

“Spectrum what did you do?” Plasma asked before a green wave came from the things forehead and molded into the shape of a mohawk. A green, video game style esque mohawk

“...Fuck me…” Spectrum Streak said before the orange armored thing… grinned? As cars started levitating around the area and all pointed towards the two heroes.

“And fuck me hard.” Plasma said before the cars were thrown at them. Spectrum ran around as she dodged car after car, while Plasma built up a charge and shot streams of electricity at the cars that were coming at him.

“WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!” Plasma screamed as he tried to desperately survive the many cars.

“IT IS A VERY LONG STORY!!!” Spectrum screamed in response as she tried to do something.

“LONG STORY!?!?! YOU RUINED MY LIFE!!!” It said as car after car was thrown at them before something hit it’s face. It stopped its onslaught as it looked at the thing in question.

“Stay away from my friends!” A high pitched distorted voice said as they all looked to the top of the roof to see a girl in a padded black outfit, hood with hot pink horse ears, mask, and goggles, however down her right leg ran a combined stripe of yellow and blue.

“YES!!” Spectrum cheered as the orange thing growled and Plasma looked at her with a tilted head.

“The friend you called throws, what is that?” Plasma asked he could feel Spectrum Streak grinning through her face mask.

“That, my friend, is my hero friends weapon of choice. A sugar concentrated pink frosted sprinkle donut.” She said as Plasma and the orange armored thing started laughing.

As they did so, Spectrum took Plasma and moved him back and to behind a car before she held out her thumbs up to the one on top before she covered her ears.

The other two looked at her strangely before the sugar concentrated pink frosted sprinkle donut glowed pink before it suddenly unleashed a grand explosion of pinkness in the middle of the city in midair.

Plasma looked at the explosion with a frozen body, not moving an inch. Which Rainbow could guess was all do to the sheer destructive power that had just been unleashed upon their foe.

Or that destructive power was unleashed by a pastry.

You know, it could be one or the other. Maybe both. Likely both. She thought as she hummed before she looked at Plasma. “So, I think we can label this a win for us.” She said as she walked away.

“Wait.” She froze as he talked without moving. “Why was that thing so mad at you.?” He asked calmly.

“…Who knows?” She said as she backed away awkwardly.

“I think you do.” He said as he turned to his fellow hero. “He said you destroyed him. What did he mean by that?”

“So kind of you to ask.” They both froze as they looked back to see the armored fiends armor had blown off on the right side of his face and right arm, to reveal white skin and a look of rage.

“Dennis Magulic?” Plasma said in confusion before Rainbow turned to him.

“Who?” She asked before the armored guy in question looked at her in anger.

“The guy you crippled by putting bullets in my hands and feet!! Do you not know my name!!?!” He asked in rage as Rainbow winced and paled under her mask.

“…Not gonna lie I’ve been calling you Mohawk in my head for like ever. I did not think you had one until five seconds ago.”

“Wow you are awful.” Plasma said blatantly as Rainbow felt a hole open in her heart emotionally.

“Okay, I was in a really bad place when I did that.” She said before pausing. “Wait, did you mean not knowing his name or brutally scarring him?”

“It’s actually sad that you have to ask that.”

“…I’m gonna kill you both now.”

“Yeah that’s fair.” She said they were both gripped in midair by the weird green rays that came from his hands as they both screamed in anger.

Pinkie looked at what was happening down on the street in terror, unable to hear what was happening. Though unless they were comfortably being held by the meanie Bo beanie she could assume they were in pain. Which was bad.

Unless they were masochists. Which wasn't bad. Was it? Well I know getting hurt is bad, but pain isn’t. Because it’s what keeps us alive. So in theory liking pain shouldn’t be bad, it should be good. But because I can’t see their mouths, I don’t know I’d they’re smiling. Meaning…

“…I should get down their now!!” She said out loud before pausing. “Whoops, wrong they’re.” She said before clearing her throat. “I should get down there now!” She said as she went to go down the building.

“Ah, right on time to kill you.” She froze as she felt the color drain from her face. Even as she heard a weapon power up she had been frozen with fear because of that voice. I know… I remember… him. She thought in a panic as the roof was engulfed in a blast.

Fight

An explosion happened on the building where Pinkie was, causing Rainbow to widen her eyes. PINKIE! She screamed mentally before screaming out loud as she and Plasma were gripped harder by Mohawk.

“Okay… could I have… done better when… I went after you?” She asked in pain. “...Possibly.”

“I can’t believe I’m gonna… die next to you.” Plasma said in an equal amount of pain.

“HEY! This… isn’t a picnic for… me either.” She said as the force increased on them. It’s getting harder to breathe. She thought as her vision started blurring. Not good…

Plasma clenched his fists before they started glowing blue. Mohawk looked at that in curiosity before they both discharged, sending out two blasts, both of them knocking the floating man off balance. Fortunately, this caused him to drop them both to the ground.

Rainbow breathed in and out heavily. Shake it off… just your entire body… She groaned as she shakily tried to get up. “Plasma, you okay?” She asked as she rubbed her sore body.

“I’ll live.” He said in pain before they looked as the orange armored man started regaining balance. “Oh come on.” He groaned before two waves of green shot towards them from Mohawk.

They both gasped before they dodged, with Rainbow grabbing him and dashing him out of the way. “What’s it gonna take to bring this guy down?” She asked as Mohawk started grabbing nearby chunks of concrete and throwing them at the two.

“Your guess is as good as mine!” He yelled before he wrapped his legs around her waist to free up one of his hands, which started firing bolts of electricity at the armored being. “His grudge against you is pretty heavy!”

“Tell me something I don’t know!” She yelled angrily as she ran to avoid the chunks of concrete. “This guy isn’t gonna stop until we’re dead!”

“I just want you!” He yelled angrily as levitated a car and held it up high. “I don’t care about the other guy!”

Plasma paused as he heard that before speaking up. “...I’m just gonna-”

“Don’t you dare try leaving me with this!!” She yelled angrily as she hit him on the head. I’ve gotta figure something out here quickly! She thought in a panic as she glanced upwards, seeing the smoke. Pinkie… She thought in concern before she saw the car above Mohawk that he was levitating.

Is… Is that a cop car? Where’s the officer that came with it? She questioned as she dodged a chunk of road. Only for Mohawk to throw the car at them right after. She screamed before she tossed Plasma away before she dodged it, landing in an alleyway, out of sight of the aromoered maniac.

The man grinned as the smoke cleared to reveal him. It was the man who had been running a drug operation, until he had mysteriously been taken down in a literal blaze of glory. What with the whole warehouse exploding. Now? He was skinnier, and his right arm had been replaced with a robotic replicant.

It was now glowing at the palm, having just fired the blast. “Now that that girl is dead I’m finally at peace.” He said with a grin.

Click. He froze as he heard the sound of a gun. “Hands in the air.” He followed the orders before speaking.

“I know that voice.” He said with a smile. “How have you been Chief?”

“Don’t talk Jakalov.” Chief Shining Armor said as he walked towards him. “You have a right to remain silent.” He said as he got out some handcuffs.

“Oh seriously?” Jakalov asked with a grin.

“Anything you say can and will be used against you.”

“You cannot be-”

“If you cannot afford an attorney one will be assigned to you.” He said as he put the hand cuffs around his one human arm. As he did so, Jakalov chuckled.

“Oh Chief…” He said as his mechanical arm started charging up. “...I’m a bit out of your league.” Shining widened his eyes at that before he jumped back, right before a blast engulfed the area where he was just standing.

“Dammit.” He said as he looked at the man. “What’s with that damn arm?” He asked angrily from his position on the ground of the roof. When the smoke cleared, he saw Jakalov with a white light in his mechanical palm.

“When you arrested me I couldn’t do anything, but now you’re on the floor, like a common beggar.” He said with a wicked grin. “Isn’t that funny?” He said before he aimed his hand at him. “I hear you have a kid. Sorry but, they’re not gonna have a body at the funeral.”

Chief widened his eyes before he tried to get away, but there wasn’t enough time. Suddenly, someone shoved him out of the way before the part of the roof he was on was destroyed. Jakalov widened his eyes before looking at who had saved him. “You’re still alive?” He asked angrily.

“What can I say?” Pinkie said with a nervous chuckle. “I’m harder to kill than a…” She had wanted to say ‘Party that won’t stop’, but that might tip off the Police Chief! “...I can’t think of anything.” She said sadly as she pouted under her costume.

“...You bitch.” Jakalov said angrily as the girl flinched and started breathing heavily.

“What are… What are you doing here?” She asked as she glared at him.

He chuckled at that. “What else would I be here to do? Kill you.” He said as he aimed his palm at her. “After what you did to me!!” He screamed as he fired another attack, forcing Pinkie to run away again. Shining sighed at his attention being drawn away from him before he grabbed his gun.

“After you destroyed my arm I was arrested! Because of you I lost everything!” He screamed before smirking. “Now you will too!” He screamed as he drove his fist into the roof. Both of them looked at him weirdly before white cracks started stemming from the point he had placed the hand.

Pinkie widened her eyes before she grabbed Shining and jumped off the roof and towards a lower roof. As this happened, the top part of the building exploded. Pinkie widened her eyes at that before she pulled out a donut and threw it below them, detonating it and stopping their fall right before they landed, allowing them to fall relatively safely onto the roof.

“Okay…Okay we need….” Pinkie said as she breathed in and out rapidly. Shining looked at her dryly.

“A plan?” He asked dryly before Pinkie eeped.

“You’re um… not gonna… try and arrest… me…” She asked as she kept breathing in and out, trying to calm down.

“Normally yes, given you killed so many people.” Shining glared as Pinkie froze. “But Jakalov is going to kill us both and anyone else. He’s a fucking maniac.” He said before sighing.

“So… we… we…”

Shining groaned. “...Work together?” The girl nodded at that as he sighed. “First things first, he obviously doesn’t like you.” Another nod from the girl confirmed this.

“Let’s use that.”

Rainbow breathed heavily as she got up and leaned up against a wall. “Okay okay okay.” She said as she tried to get her breath back. Suddenly, her phone started ringing. Oh come on. Not now… She thought as she grabbed it. She tried to turn it off but ended up answering instead.

“Rainbow?” She paused as she heard the voice of the caller and righted herself.

“Hey, there… Scootaloo. Um… listen…”

“Have you seen the news?” She asked excitedly, causing Rainbow to pause before the girl continued. “Spectrum Streak is fighting this weird guy with a Mohawk, the same one I thought I saw!”

Rainbow froze in shock at that. “She’s so cool! And she’s fighting alongside this guy who shoots lightning! It’s amazing! It’s incredible! It’s fantastic! Real superheroes!”

“...I’m… I’m glad… you’re excited.” Rainbow said as she removed her face mask to breathe properly.

“Rainbow, is everything okay? You seem like you’re having trouble breathing.” She said with concern.

“Oh! I… I just… I’m just worried that uh… I don’t think Spectrum Streak is gonna… come out of this alive.” She said as she held the phone away from her so her little sister didn’t hear as much.

“...Oh come on!” She paused at the outburst. “You met her same as me! She’s just like you! And you never give up!” Scootaloo yelled. “So stop acting like she’s gonna die! Cause I know you wouldn’t lose!”

Rainbow sat still at before she removed her goggles as she rubbed her eyes while she started tearing up. “You’re… You’re right… Th…thanks for… Thanks for the pep talk.”

“...What are you talking about?” Scootaloo asked, causing Rainbow to freeze.

“Um… I… You’re breaking up, gotta go.” She said before she hung up and stood up before she placed her mask and goggles back on.

“Let’s go.” She said before she dashed out into the open. She darted her eyes around and took stock of the situation. I don’t think Plasma was hit by that attack. She thought before sweat dropping. Though I did throw him to the side pretty violently. She sheepishly thought before she nodded.

I just need to focus on taking down Mohawk. She ran towards the floating man, using a running start to leap into the air and slam her fist into his face. He screamed before she ran around him and started using sneak attacks to keep ambushing him.

Thanks to her speed, she was able to keep hitting him without getting caught in his attacks. “Hey!” He yelled between hits. “WIll!”

Another hit.

“You…!”

One more.

“STOP IT!!!” He yelled before a blast of green energy came from him, encasing everything in a small area, including Spectrum. Once she was engulfed, her body stopped moving, as if she was being gripped by a fist of iron.

“Dammit!” She yelled as she tried to move, only for nothing to happen. “COME ON!!!” Mohawk floated down towards her as he clenched his fist, causing a forced strain to exude itself on her throat.

“Neat right? In this space, all I need is a thought and anything within it bends to my will, as if it’s in the palm of my hands.” He said as he kept tightening his fist seemingly around nothing, but as it happened, it kept getting harder and harder to breathe.

“Good thing I’m sneaky.” Plasma said as he placed his hand on Mohawk from behind and funneled as much electricity into him as possible, causing him to light up like a Christmas tree.

When all was said and done, his literal smoking body fell to the ground, and the green energy dispelled.

Spectrum Streak took deep breaths to compensate for the restricted airflow she had just suffered as she fell to her knees. “Th..Thanks.” She said as she gasped for air. Plasma chuckled as he helped her up.

“Thanks for stalling him, I needed time to build that charge up.” He said before he looked up. “What was that explosion that went off earlier?”

Rainbow froze as she remembered that before she tried to get up, only to stumble. Plasma caught her as she fell down. Dammit… I… I’m out of breath. I’m too tired.

Jakalov stood on the rooftop he just destroyed. Well, since he had turned the roof into a bomb, one of the floors below the roof. “Hmm, did the Police Chief evacuate the building? Or did I kill everyone on the upper floors? Well, not that it matters.” He then looked to the roof the two had jumped towards.

Because he had blown up some of the floors, he was now lower than them. He grinned before he aimed his hand away from the roof before he fired, shooting himself towards it. He then landed on the roof with a smile before he looked around, not seeing them. “Where did they go?”

He then noticed some sprinkles on the ground. Actually wait… They were everywhere. “What the…?” He asked as he looked around.

Snap. As soon as he heard the sound of snapping fingers, the sprinkles started glowing. As soon as he stepped on one, they detonated like firecrackers. “The hell?!” He yelled as he was caught off guard and they blew up with the force of miniature bombs.

Shining them came out and fired his gun at him, hitting his mechanical arm. He widened his eyes before screaming as his actual body was riddled with bullets. “Damn you!” He yelled before he tried to fire at the Police Chief. Only for the damn girl that started all of this to come in and wrap licorice around his mechanical arm before it started glowing. “I’ll blow you all to hell!” He screamed while the arm looked like it was about to explode.

“Bye bye.” She said before she shoved Chief Shining away. She then grabbed the arm before her skin lit ablaze in pink flames, revealing black bone. He screamed in terror as the arm exploded before they were both engulfed in pink flames.

When everything cleared, Jakalovs smoking unconscious body fell to the ground, his mechanical arm destroyed. Shining looked in shock as a pink flaming skeleton stood above him, roaring. He then watched as the flames died down before the girl was back to normal, disguise and all.

“Flame proof clothing… Neat leaty.” She said with a smile before she fell on her rear. She sighed in relief as they defeated Jakalov. Before pausing and looking at the Police Chief. “Is this the part where…?”

The Police Chief looked at her before sighing. “I’m out of bullets. I couldn’t do anything to you if I wanted to. But I did call for backup, so do what you want with that information.” The two looked at each other before the girl started laughing. He raised his eyebrow at that. “What’s so funny?”

“You’re a Police Chief… and you’re letting me go! HAHAHAHAA!!!” She laughed. After thinking it over, Shining armor grinned.

“You’re right. That is funny.” He said before he chuckled. They both laughed for a bit before he calmed down. “Hey, what do I call you anyway?”

The girl kept laughing for a bit before she looked at him. “I like the name Party Popper.” She said before she left.

Shining Armor sighed as he sat against the roof. Party Popper… Twilights friend Pinkie throws parties… And talks like her…Is that enough evidence? He questioned as he breathed in and out.

Plasma sighed as he was dropped off near his place. “Spectrum, thanks.” He said with a smile under his mask. “It was fun teaming up with you. Aside from the part where we almost died. And the part where it was revelaed you were a fucking psycho.”

“...You just described nearly all of it.” Spectrum said dryly, causing him to laugh.

“You know where to find me if you ever need help.” He said before he climbed back up into his apartment.

Spectrum stretched before Party Popper yawned next to her. “I’m sleepy.” She said as she leaned on her shoulder. “How do you think the others are doing?”

“We just fought two supervillains and almost died, they’re on vacation. What do you think?” She asked sarcastically as she held her friend up.

She shrugged at that. “How did they get those powers anyway?”

Spectrum went to answer that before pausing. “I… I don’t know.” She said before sighing and running them off into the night. Leaving them with one question.

What the hell happened to those two guys?

Off to Shibuya

View Online

Twilight sat down next to Sunset as they both got ready for the plane to take off to Shibuya, Japan. “I can’t believe this is about to happen!” She said excitedly as she looked at her bacon haired friend, who grinned back.

“I know right? I’ve never realized how much of this world I never saw.” She said before she looked next to herself as she was in the aisle seat to see Applejack.

“Now Sunset, you all good? I know this is your first time on a plane.” Sunset smiled before she shook her head no and the cowgirl walked off down the aisle to check on their friends.

“You know, have you ever realized how Applejack can get… like caring of us?” Sunset asked as Twilight shook her head as she watched their friend give Fluttershy a blanket before she sat down next Rarity and gave her a eyemask.

“Huh… you know…” Twilight asked before the plane started moving and she noticed Sunset take out a cupcake plush and hug it. “...Umm-”

“Pinkie gave it to me.” She said bluntly as she hugged while the plane picked up speed. “First time on a plane gift.” She started nervously breathing before she calmed down as she snuggled with the inanimate object.

…That’s sweet. Twilight thought before she started listening to a documentary about Shibuya.

The Adventures of the Equestria Girls

Several connecting flights later…

The girls came out of airport, surveying the area and smiling with the other classmates as they viewed the city. “Wow! This place is amazing!” Sunset said as she looked around in awe. They walked around the city as Vice Principal Luna made sure to keep them all in line.

“Alright, everyone stay together, we’re going to go to the hotel and rest before we start our tour of the museum.” She said as they all got their luggage.

Sunset looked through the baggage claim area before she saw her red rolling suitcase and picked it up. She then looked to see her friends getting their own bags. Fortunately they had all managed to pack sensibly.

As long as you counted Raritys ‘basic’ hundreds of makeups and brushes and mirrors as simple.

And all of Fluttershys animal foods for animals she might encounter here.

And all of the books Twilight had brought.

Sunset and Applejack looked at them dryly before Sunset sighed. “Twilight, we have E-Books for a reason.”

“Yeah but I already have glasses. Risk my eyesight even more? I think not!” She said as she and the other two all lugged their bags, with Sunset looking to Applejack.

“You wanna… help here?”

“Yeah I’m on it.” The country girl said as she started taking all of the bags, prompting Fluttershy to look at her gratefully while Rarity smiled and kissed her on the cheek, prompting her girlfriend to blush with a smile. She then loaded all of the bags as one by one they got on the bus that had been arranged to take them to the hotel they’d be staying at.

“So, I must know! How was your first flight?” Sunset smiled as she looked at Trixie who had asked her the question while posing before they both sat down next to each other while the bus started moving through Shibuya.

“Oh you know… Just same as ever.” She said as she looked at the cupcake plush she had been holding before she put it back in her bag and looked out to see the tall buildings and exotic looking restaurants. “Woah…”

She had never seen something like this, even in Equestria.

It was awesome!

Sunset flopped down on her bed as she looked at her roommate. “Oh this is comfy…” She watched Trixie say as she sat on the bed. “I cannot believe this is only for a few days.”

“Yep, better not get used to it.” She said as she smirked at her friend before she noticed her cupcake plush had fallen out of her bag. She reached for it before Trixie grabbed it and smirked.

“Hello…”

“Hey! Give it back!”

“Oh I will… I just didn’t think you were the stuffed doll type.” Trixie smirked as Sunset twitched her fingers, only for the magician to give a cheshire grin and look at the back. “With lots of love, Pinkie.”

Sunset widened her eyes as she grabbed it back and scanned the back of it desperately, only to look back at Trixie with a deadpan as nothing was there. “Seriously?” She asked dryly as Trixie cackled.

“Ha! It doesn’t take a genius to know that Pinkie gave it to you. Course, it helps that you girls have been telling me everything, including your little crush on Pinkie.” She said as she crossed her legs while Sunset frowned. “You should probably send her a message thanking her. You know, just a suggestion.”

Sunset slowly held up her phone as she thought about it while glaring at Trixie. “I mean… It wouldn’t hurt right?”

“Not at all.” Trixie said as she watched it happen, bouncing on her feet as she sat on her bed. “In fact it would be the best thing ever.”

“Yeah… I mean I robbed a Princess!”

“Yeah you did!”

“I can send a message to a girl I like!”

“Of course you can!”

“Yeah!”

Sunset grinned as she held up her phone and opened the message contacts to Pinkie. “Oh you have a heart next to her name.” Sunset blushed at that as she sighed.

“Look…I just… I thought it looked cute, okay?” She asked before she started typing out a message. “Hey, thanks for the plush.”

“Okay, that’s good, now just click send.”

“Yeah.”

“Just click send.”

“....”

“Sunset, send the message.” Trixie said with a frown as she started tapping her foot. Suddenly, they both got a message on their phones.

“Welp look at that! TIme to go check out the museum!” Sunset said with a smile as she deleted the message and turned off her phone before she walked out of the room.

“...I hate this.” Trixie said before she followed her.

They all gathered to go to the museum, and once they got there they split up into pairs. “Okay then…” Twilight said as she held up a picture of the page from the book… the other Twilight had sent them. “Just find the tomb in the exhibit and send a message to the others.” She said to Fluttershy, who nodded as she walked with her.

“So… how did you and Rainbow get together?” Twilight asked as Fluttershy flinched. “Oh, um… sorry. I’ve never had friends so I’m not sure how to… act when they’re in a relationship.” She said awkwardly as she smacked her lips and they walked side by side with each other.

“...We got together a while back when I was helping her Tank. We started talking with each other and… one thing led to another.” She lied through her teeth as she was panicking on the inside, making sure to make a reminder to send a message to Rainbow so they didn’t contradict each other.

“Cool…” She said as they both kept walking. “So, sorry about the decision to leave Rainbow behind.” Twilight said as Fluttershy widened her eyes.

“Oh! You don’t have to worry about that!” She said, only to pause and sigh. “...Recently me and her have been arguing lately.”

“Really? You two seem quite happy together.” She said as Fluttershy raised her eyebrow in curiosity. “Rainbow cares about you more than anything, and you always seem to be the one to let her know when she goes too far. And even when you don’t you kind of seem like the only person who could put up with… well her.”

Fluttershy paused at that as Twilight started stuttering. “I-I didn’t mean to insult her or anything!”

“Oh um… it’s fine.” She said with a blush before she looked at the map of the museum they had been given. “The tomb Rainbow read about should be right… here.” She said, causing them both to look up to see a tomb displayed in front of them. “Huh…”

It was a pretty ornate tomb with a wall of gold engraved with the legend Rainbow had told them about. “...So how do we test if this is magic?” Fluttershy asked before Twilight started sending a message to Sunset.

“...She’s on her way.”

Applejack and Rarity walked through the museum. “I’m glad you were there to carry my luggage, I wouldn’t have been able to look my best after all.” The purple haired girl said as she leaned against her shoulder, prompting the blond to smile.

“Oh Rar…” She said before she noticed a clay statue of a four armed humanoid beast with horns and fangs. “Well golly.” It was about three times her height with a rotund figure. “Says this here thang ruled back in the days with an iron fist, using it to level cities and whatnot.”

“My, how frightening.” Rarity said before her phone started ringing and she moved to the side. “Just one moment dearest.” She said as she left Applejack to look at the behemoth statue.

Only for her to get a message saying they had found the tomb. She smiled before she headed to Rarity, overhearing her call.

“-Oh you don’t have to worry, schools going-” Rarity said before she turned around to see Applejack and widened her eyes as she hung up and shoved her phone in her pocket. “Applejack!”

“...Twilight found the tomb so… Everything all right?” She asked as she raised her eyebrow. “Yah hung up mighty quick.”

“Oh it’s nothing!” She said before she looked at her phone, seeing the message from the group chat. “Let’s be on our way!” She said as she grabbed Applejacks hand and ran off while the country girl just let herself be dragged, knowing she could easily stop her.

While wondering what Rarity wasn’t telling her.

Sunset arrived at the tomb with Trixie as she met up with everyone else. “So this is the tomb.” She said as she looked at it before she widened her eyes.

“Yeah… this is definitely magic.” Twilight raised her eyebrow and looked at her.

“Wait, you’ve never been able to tell something was magic before, how is this different?” Sunset shrugged in response to that.

“I don’t know, I think it’s because I’m using my powers and getting in touch with them more and more, combined with the fact that I studied magic my whole life… but this thing definitely has magic inside it. Probably the heart…”

“...Wait…” Trixie said as she started backing away. “Don’t tell me-”

“We’re stealing it.” Fluttershy said as Trixie groaned.

“I hate you guys.”

Robbing the Mueseum

Once they had decided that they needed to steal the artifact, they had all dispersed, Sunset wanting them to enjoy the trip at least.

Given how much they paid to come here it seemed only fair.

While Sunset and Twilight made a plan, they would have their fun in Shibuya. Fluttershy looked over the statues of the mythical beasts from Japanese legend. Though she couldn’t do anything to turn into them, that didn’t change she always had an interest in animals.

She looked at the statue and smiled at one of them, focusing on the tanuki statue. “How adorable.” She said softly as Twilight talked a little away from her with Sunset.

The Adventures of the Equestria Girls

The rest of the day went pretty well, they even ended up going to a sushi restaurant. For all of them, it was the first time ever having any, making it a delight for all of them.

Applejack yawned as she brushed her teeth while Rarity waited in their shared room. Honestly, when she had learned they would be roomates, she thought things might be bad with the fact that they were currently dating. Two teenagers, same room, in a trip abroad.

…Things like that tended to end with a whole… shebang.

But they were mature, they could sleep in the same room without doing anything. She smiled as she walked back to their room down the hallway. Besides, they were currently in a whole thing what with Sunset and Twilight making up a whole plan to rob a museum. It was better for everything that they remind calm and ma-

She opened the door and walked in and looked at Rarity laying on their bed in a ‘draw me like one of your french girls pose’. “Why hello Darling.” She said as Applejack closed the door behind her. “I wanted to apologize for earlier.”

It was then Applejack noticed the lights were pretty… off. “Oh umm… You know, it was no big deal.” She said as she started stuttering. “I th-think we should go to bed.”

“Yeah… Or…” Rarity said before she snapped her fingers and a crystalline structure appeared around her waist, pulling Applejack over to her. “We could have some fun tonight, instead of waiting for the big heist.”

The farm girl blushed madly as she let herself get pulled into the bed. “I um… I I I think that-” They were both cut off by Rarity's phone ringing. The purple haired girl widened her eyes before she shoved the girl to the other bed that was in the room and grabbed the phone.

“I’ll be right back!” She said as she blew a kiss towards her and ran out of the room.

“...” Applejack sighed before she curled up in the blanket. “If she was having trouble with something, she’d tell me.” She said as she looked up to the ceiling.

She definitely wasn’t just saying that to herself.

“So if we do that here… and that here…” Sunset said as she laid in her bed and looked up while Trixie looked at her from her bed. “Thinking this just might work.”

“Are you seriously discussing your plan… in front of me?” She asked as she clenched her fists. “You know that if the cops question me I’m not gonna be able to deny them without lying, and we all know I can’t lie!”

Sunset frowned and sat up before she turned her head to her. “You can lie.”

“Yeah, about small things. Like liking your hairstyle, or liking your clothes-”

“You said my leather jacket was the only good thing about my outfit.”

“And that was the best I could do without actively dissing your whole outfit. But if I am under pressure I will pop like a balloon!” Trixie said as Sunset smiled and shook her head before she placed her hand on her shoulder.

“Look, I was told stories of the other you by Starlight, you were a warrior who fought the changelings… with run of the mill magic tricks.” Trixie looked at her blandly as Sunset shook her head. “Okay, bad example, but don’t worry! You are gonna have nothing to do with this at all. It’ll be like you never even knew about this!”

“Really? Because just by listening to your problems I have become an accomplice to multiple crimes!” Trixie said as she raised her eyebrow.

“I promise.”

“Okay… Good.”

“I just need you to put on a magic show for Vice Principal Luna.”

“Oh, I can do that. Just a good old fashioned, mundane… Wait, when?” Trixie asked with a bit of suspicion.

“No time really, just the specific date and time we’re doing the heist.” Trixie glared at her as her mouth gaped open. “Hey no one said you have to help with the heist! You’re just putting on a show specifically at the time me and my friends may or may not be robbing the museum.”

“...” Trixie curled back up in her bed as she groaned and looked upwards.

“...So not a no. Good.”

A few days later…

“So, does everyone understand the plan?” Sunset asked as she briefed her friends as they finished the last tour of the day, and getting prepared to go back tomorrow.

“Yeah, just need to maybe go over it one more time…” Twilight said hesitantly as she thought about it. She was, in all honesty, terrified of this plan. If they got caught, they would go to jail, and that wouldn’t look good on her scholarship, and no good college would accept her, if any at all!

Fluttershy noticed her as they walked into their shared room. “Umm, Twilight?” She asked as she sat down on the bed next to her. “Everything all right?”

Twilight looked at her before she started panicking. “I’m scared! What if we get caught? What if Sunset was wrong about this!? What if…” While she continued panicking, Fluttershy concentrated before she took the bespectacled girls hand and started rubbing it on her arm.

“And if I’m in jail, I’ll be at the bottom of the pecking or-What are you doing?” Twilight asked as she looked at Fluttershy's arm, which was now covered in fur.

“I covered my arm in dog fur.” She said with a smile. “I find it helps calm people down… Though I can’t help anyone who doesn’t know about my powers so…” She said with murmur as she turned away while Twilight rubbed her arm. “It’s all… a really moot point…”

“I mean, it’s working.” Twilight said as she shook her head. “You’re right, we’ve been going over this plan for quite some time, meaning there’s no way this could go wrong. But isn't it bad to be egotistical? Does that me-”

“Twilight. Pet my arm.” Fluttershy said as she kept her petting the arm. Twilight sighed as she kept relaxing while exhaling.

“...You’re right. This is gonna be fine. Everything is gonna be fine…. Did you practice this with Rainbow? You’re really good at it.”

“...Yeah, I always help her calm down.”

Luna yawned as she lounged in the common room of the hotel they stayed at. “Ahhh, and Celestia said that I couldn’t handle this. I’m great at this.” She said as she laid down on the couch and put her legs on the table in front of her.

“Vice Principal Luna!” She sat up immediately and stood up, turning around to see Trixie. “Would you be interested in a little magic show?”

Luna frowned as she looked at her shuffling the cards. “...I don’t know… It seems a bit late.” They were starting the flight back tomorrow after all. “You should really get some sleep.” And I should be going to bed as well.

“Oh please? I’ve been practicing this entire trip! I’m sure I’ve got it down to a fine art!” Trixie said as she begged the woman, who frowned as she sighed.

…I mean… it’s not like it could hurt… She thought as she sighed. “Sure. Why not?” She asked herself as she sat down. She knew of the schools resident magician, or failure of a magician. She honestly didn’t think the tricks would end well, but at the very least it could be entertaining.

“Okay, pick a card.”

Sunset arrived on the roof of the building next to the museum. Or rather, Twilight lifted her onto it with her power. “...This is demeaning. I think you know that.”

“I wouldn’t say that.” Twilight said as Sunset could tell she was smirking under her mask. While this happened, Applejack leaped up onto the building, Rarity moved up on a platform of her own making, and Fluttershy flew upwards. “...Maybe.”

Sunset glared at her from behind the goggles before she started walking over kneel on the edge of the roof.

“What is she doing?” Sunset sighed as she heard Twilight ask her friends behind her.

“I think it’s like, to look cool.” Sunset scoffed and whirled around.

“I saw this in a comic book okay?!” She said as everyone held up their hands and backed. “Thank you. Rainbow would have appreciated this… Now Fluttershy, is the venom ready?” She asked as she turned to her shy friend, who nodded before she darted downwards towards the museums, taking a serpentine form.

Step One: Fluttershy incapacitates the guards outside by creating venom in her mouth and storing it until she unleashes it upon them.

One by one, each of the guards were knocked out. Naturally, Fluttershy had petsitted for snakes, only they had their venom sacs removed. Fluttershy could mimic animals she had been around and touched. Fortunately the magic mimicked them down to their original form.

Meaning she had ample venom to use.

As this happened, Sunset looked at Twilights suit. It was like the rest, black with a horse ear hood, goggles, and a face mask. Only streaming down her leg was a single purple star shape.

Once Fluttershy had slithered in, Sunset started talking as they waited for her to knock out the guards inside the building. “So everyone has a name except you and Pinkie.” She said to Twilight, who sighed.

“...I don’t really want a name.”

“But think about it, I’m Lull, Applejack is Rough Stock, Rarity is Couture, Fluttershy is Fauna Girl, Rainbow is Spectrum Streak, and… well Pinkie doesn’t have a name yet but-” Twilight suddenly started levitating down towards the museum entrance.

Step Two: After Fluttershy goes into the Museum and incapacitates the guards in the security room, Twilight heads in to control the cameras and make sure that in terms of technology, we were never here.

“...Okay she doesn’t want a name.” Sunset said as she smacked her lips and looked over at Rarity and Applejack. “Think I pushed too hard?”

“Oh Ah’m sure that whatever is bothering her, she’ll tell ya in her own time.” Applejack said as she tapped her foot before she looked over at Rarity, clearly wanting to say something, before biting her tongue and turning away.

Sunset clapped her hands as she counted down in her mind. They couldn’t bring their phones in case something went off, they got distracted, and since the phones technically tracked where they’ve been. So they had to count down from each step. From when Fluttershy had entered the museum, Twilight counted down how long it would take her to get to the Security Room and knock out the guards, and when she got to zero she went into the room, trusting that she had done the job by now.

After that, Sunset started counting down how long it would take Twilight to turn off the cameras.

And she just got to zero.

“All right, Twi should have shut down the cameras by now, everybody in.” Rarity made a structure for her and AJ to stand on as they all were brought down to the entrance, making sure to avoid being seen by anyone who may have been passing by.

They all then tentatively entered the museum, making sure to be ready to run at the slightest hint of trouble. They looked around the empty museum, thinking it looked completely different at night.

The statues look dull and lifeless, their shadows reaching from their figures. The paintings and tapestries looked grim and sad, not having as much color as in the day.

Suddenly, the intercom flared up. “Let’s get this over with guys.” Twilights voice said over the system, causing them to smile. Sunset smiled before she ran off towards the exhibit.

Step 3: I get the heart while everyone else patrols the museum just in case.

Rarity and Applejack walked together as they headed around the museum. “...Uh, Rare?” She asked her girlfriend, who turned to her. “Ah… are ya having trouble with something?”

Rarity tilted her head at that before she laughed. “Darling! Thank you for worrying about me but there’s no problem at all!” Applejack stayed silent before she removed her goggles and mask, looking at her dryly.

“Okay, ya do realize that Ah can tell when people lie ta me, so Ah know that you’ve been lying ta me this entire time.”

Rarity froze as she realized that before she started stuttering. “I-I…” Applejack then put her hands on her shoulders and looked at her intently.

“Whatever it is, I promise you that-”

“My parents have been calling to set up a date for us to have dinner!” Rarity said quickly, causing Apple to freeze before she smiled.

“Oh, well that’s not so ba… why did ya need to leave every time ya got on a call with them?” She asked her suspiciously, causing her to smack her lips and move her eyes away.

“Well I… You know… whenever they asked if I was seeing anyone I just said… I wasn’t.”

Applejack paused as she looked at her, her eyes wide with disbelief as her mouth gaped open.

“......”

“Um… Darling?”

“.......”

“Sweetie?”

Sunset walked up to the exhibit, the security measures having been turned off by Twilight. “Okay, you can do this. Just desecrating a corpse, and interfering with an exhibit.” She said to herself as she moved the lid off of the tomb, making sure to do it carefully.

“Woah.” She said as she looked at the corpse, having been rotted beyond recognition. However, in the chest, she could sense the magic. “Just…part the chest, you can do it with how weak the body is.” She said to herself as she tried to guide her shaken body through it.

“Wow, your breathing is so loud I can hear it from here.” Sunset immediately looked up as she heard a distorted voice. Only to see a figure sitting on the floor in front of her.

It wore a black cloak with a hood that covered its body, leaving only the face to be exposed. However, the figure had its face covered by something else.

A Hiruko mask.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Jokai.”
