A Clone Gargoyle's Equestrian Tale

Reflection: Familiar Faces

Equestria Girls part 2!

.....

Soon, the Trio had arrived at Principal Celestia's office, Malibu's heart thudding violently, licking his lips, wondering if he should even see what the human version of his mother would look like, staring at the door anxiously.

Twilight noticed what was going on with him, taking his hand. "Hey, this could be fun. You really don't need to worry."

Malibu did his best to collect himself, nodding. "Alright," He said softly, as Twilight began knocking on the door.

"Come in."

The two opened it, Twilight bowing but Malibu remaining standing straight, stepping inside nervously. He noticed a woman sitting at the desk, reading a magazine. "How may I help you?"

Malibu noted Twilight still bowing and he elbowed her sharply, since this version of Celestia clearly wasn't a royal. Twilight got the message and straightened herself. "Um, uh, whew." She stuttered, Malibu swallowing. Principal Celestia put down her magazine, studying them curiously.

It stunned Malibu greatly at his mom's human form. She rather looked quite nice, despite her rainbow hair not flowing like it usually did, and she had a sun pin on her outfit that looked like her cutie mark.

Twilight also stared, then shook her head. "My name's Twilight Sparkle, and this is my best friend Malibu. We're new here and... well, I understand that Fluttershy found a crown this morning and gave it to you."

Human Celestia stood up, putting her notes away in a drawer. "Yes. I had Vice Principal Luna put it somewhere for safekeeping. No idea how it ended up on the front lawn. Were you interested in running for Princess of the Fall Formal this year Twilight?"

Twilight rubbed her neck. "Um, no, not exactly. The truth is... well, the truth is I... you see, the crown is actually..." She paused in her words. "Princess of the Fall Formal?"

Celestia went back to her desk, smiling. "It's Canterlot High's big fall dance."

Malibu felt familiarity perking up, a smile on his face. "Like the Grand Galloping Gala?" He asked, before suddenly putting a hand over his mouth. He had nearly spilled a few things!

That made Celestia raise her brow at him. "Uh, Grand Galloping Gala?"

Twilight nudged him. "Oh, it was a big deal at our old... school." Malibu nodded with her. "Yeah, yep."

"And was there a Princess?" Celestia questioned. "Yes, but she wasn't exactly a student," Twilight replied.

Malibu then looked over to the wall, seeing where the winner's photo was hung up. He saw that Sunset Shimmer had won nearly every time. The last photo made her look pretty insane which caused him to feel nervous again. "Here at Canterlot HIgh, the students select one of their peers to represent them. She receives her crown at the fall formal.

Twilight suddenly had that look in her eye, that made Malibu wonder what she was up to. "Hmm. You asked me if I was interested in running for Princess. Can anyone run?" She questioned, as the two left.

Celestia nodded. "Yes. You just need to let the head of the Fall Formal planning committee know you'd like to be on the ballot. Was there anything else?"

Malibu shook his head. "Nope. That was it mo-uh, Celestia!" He said, correcting himself quickly since this wasn't the mom he had in Equestria. Celestia eyed him curiously before just smilng after. "Well, if you do need anything else, my door is always open."

She closed the door, the two walking away. Spike poked his head out of Twilight's backpack. "Twilight, why didn't you ya just tell her the crown was yours and ask for it back?"
