A Clone Gargoyle's Equestrian Tale

Reflection: Return to Equestria

First Equestria Girls is finally over! Season 4 on the horizon!

....

He slammed the door open to the boutique, his face still rather scared as the others were stunned from his appearance.

"Sugarcube? Are ya alright?" Applejack asked in worry while having her dress fitted. Malibu shook his head no, sitting down on a chair.

"Sunset nearly tried to-to- it..." A small sob suddenly came from his throat, curling up there on the chair. Fluttershy's eyes looked sad, walking over to him, and putting a hand on his shoulder. "I'm so sorry Malibu. This just shows Sunset's true colors to us all." She said gently, the others nodding right as the door banged open yet again.

Malibu jumped when seeing Twilight rush inside with Spike, quickly going into a changing room. He stood up to check on her since she really wasn't changing it was alright.

"Twilight? Can I come in? Are you alright?" He called out as she nodded from behind the curtain, allowing him in.

The clone sat down next to her as she looked rather flustered. "I'm not really ok. I just heard the Fall Formal won't be until tomorrow!" She whispered softly in panic.

That caused Malibu's blood to grow cold. If they didn't get the crown, it would mean... "W-We'd be stuck here then!" Malibu swallowed, not liking the idea of being trapped in this human body that wasn't his.

Twilight nodded. "We won't be able to go home for another 30 moons!" She sobbed, hiding her head in her legs, curled into a fetal position. "Oh, what are we gonna do?"

Spike tapped his chin. "Hmm. We tell them the truth. Let them know what's really at stake if we don't get the crown tonight. They'll help us figure something out."

Malibu however didn't like that. "The girls would probably freak if the learn I was not really a human, nor a pony," He said shakily. Twilight agreed with him. "And me being a pony too."

Spike smiled. "Twilight, these girls rallied around you 'cause they saw you had a good spirit. They aren't gonna feel any differently about you when they find out you're a pony princess in Equestria, and that you Malibu are a gargoyle."

Malibu sighed and swallowed. "I hope you're right." He replied, while Twilight petted Spike. "I'm glad you followed us here, Spike."

The baby dragon nodded. "Me too. Unless of course we get stuck here for another 30 moons."

The three of them walked out from the changing room, looking down at the floor.

Applejack looked at them in worry. "You okay?"

Malibu shook his head. "Not really. The Fall Formal isn't happening tonight." He revealed.

Pinkie's eyes popped. "WHAT?!" She shrieked.

Twilight glared. "It had to be postponed because Sunset Shimmer had Snips and Snails ruin all of Pinkie Pie's decorations.

"WHAT?!" Pinkie shrieked again, her voice ringing in Malibu's ears.

Malibu spoke next. "But the Fall Formal has to happen tonight."

"WHA—?!" Applejack had covered up Pinkie Pie's mouth from having her screaming again. Malibu nodded to Twilight, who took a breath. "You see..."

Pinkie Pie pushed down Applejack's hand and said something that stunned Malibu to an extent. "You're both from an alternate world and you're a pony princess there and the crown actually has a magical element embedded in it that helps power up other magical elements, and without it, they don't work anymore, and you need them to help protect your magical world, and if you don't get the crown tonight, you two will be stuck in this world and won't be able to get back for, like, a really really long time! And also, Malibu's not actually a pony but a gargoyle from yet another alternate universe who is one of the magical element bearers!" She finished, giving a squee afterward along with a huge smile.
