Equestria Girls

Chapter Two

Twilight Sparkle: [groan]

Spike: Uh, Twilight and Rose?

Rose Light: Huh? Spike and Discord! You're not supposed to– Spike? Are you a... dog? What are you Discord?

Discord: I don't know.

Spike: I... think so. But I have no idea what you are!

Twilight Sparkle: Huh? [screams] [panting]

Spike: Twilight, you have to get it together!

Rose Light: [heavy breathing] [sigh] What... does the rest of me look like?

Spike: Um, like you. Only not you. Your muzzle's really small.

Discord: My muzzle?! [panics]

Spike: Are you gonna scream again? Where are we?

Twilight Sparkle: I don't know. But that must serve as the gateway back to Equestria. We need to find our crowns as soon as possible and get back there. I suggest we start searching the castle first.

Spike: Works for me. Yeah, I don't think that's how the new you is supposed to–

[dog pants and whines]

Rose Light: Whooaaa... Whoa! Ooh... [laughs nervously] C'mon, Spike. I do not wanna be like this for longer than I have to.

Spike: Well, look on the bright side. You don't have those pesky wings to worry about anymore.

[thud]

Discord: Hmm! [grunts] [gasps] My magic! It isn't working!

Spike: Makes sense. You don't exactly have your horns or your normal body.

Twilight Sparkle: What?!

Spike: We really need to find you a mirror.

Rose Light: What do ya think, Spike? Other artifacts they've stolen from Equestria? [gasps] What am I?

[school bell rings]

[scattered conversations]

Discord: Huh? Oof!

Selena Green: Whoa. You okay?

Spike: I don't think this is a castle.

Twilight Sparkle: I've never seen a place, that's quite like this. Everything is turned around, this crazy world is upside-down.

Rose Light: Getting on my feet, it's the hand that I was dealt. But I don't have much time with them, got to learn all that I can.

Discord: They don't use any magic or fly with any wings, I don't get these funny clothes, skinny legs or tiny nose. Everything's confusing when it seems so new, but I look a little closer and it starts to feel familiar too.

Twilight Sparkle: What a strange new world (what a strange new world) I'm trying to make heads or tails of this strange new world (what a strange new world)
Sorting through the small details of this strange new world.

Rose Light: What a strange new world.

Fluttershy: Oh, I'm really sorry. I-I just found them, and-and I thought I should give them to her. I didn't know you two had dropped them.

Sunset Shimmer: Well, we did! And we were about to get them before you swooped in and ruined everything! You shouldn't pick up things that don't belong to you.

Fluttershy: [hushed] They... don't really belong to you two, either.

Pippa Pirate: Excuse me?!

Fluttershy: N-n-nothing...

Sunset Shimmer: That's what I thought. They're as good as ours, and you know it. You really are pathetic. It's no wonder your best friends are all stray animals.

Discord: How dare you two speak to her that way!

Pippa Pirate: What did you say?

Twilight Sparkle: He said, "How dare you two speak to her that way!"

Sunset Shimmer: You must be new here. We can speak to anyone any way we want.

[locker door shuts]

Fluttershy: I can't believe you did that!

Rose Light: I couldn't just stand there.

Fluttershy: Well, it's just that nobody ever stands up to Sunset Shimmer and Pippa Pirate.

Discord: Sunset Shimmer and Pippa Pirate!?

Fluttershy: You've heard of them?

Twilight Sparkle: Sort of...

Fluttershy: I don't think I've seen you around before. Did you just transfer to Canterlot High from another school?

Rose Light: Um... yes! Another... heh, school! My name's Rose. This is my boyfriend Discord and my best friend Twilight.

Fluttershy: [very quietly] I'm... Fluttershy.

Discord: Sorry, what was that?

Fluttershy: [even quieter] It's Fluttershy!

Twilight Sparkle: It sounds like you're saying Fluttershy, but how can that...?

Fluttershy: Oh, my goodness! Who's this sweet little guy?

Rose Light: That's Spike! Twi's, uh... dog!

Fluttershy: Oh, he's so cute! Go on, eat up, little pup!

Spike: [eats] Huh?

Fluttershy: Oh, wouldn't ya just give anything to know what they're really thinking?

Discord: He usually just tells me.

Fluttershy: Oh, w-what do you mean?

Spike: [barks]

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, uh, nothing! (chuckles) Never mind. Sunset Shimmer and Pippa Pirate said you picked somethings up. Somethings that belonged to them. They weren't crowns, were they?

Fluttershy: How did you know?

Rose Light: Uh, lucky guess? Do you still have them?

Fluttershy: Mm-mm.

Discord: But you know what happened to them.

Fluttershy: Mm-hmm. This morning, I was passing out flyers for the animal shelter like I do every Wednesday.

(Flashback)

Fluttershy: Canterlot's animal shelter needs more volunteers. Won't you help an animal that can't help itself?

[papers fluttering]

Fluttershy: [whimpers]

[clunk]

Fluttershy: Ow!

(End of Flashback)

Fluttershy: I have no idea how they got there. But I didn't want anything to happen to them, so I decided to give them to Principal Celestia.

Twilight Sparkle: Principal Celestia? She's the ruler here?

Fluttershy: You could say that. Technically, I guess she and Vice Principal Luna do make the rules.

Rose Light: Where is she now?

Fluttershy: Probably in her office. Third door on your left.

Discord: Thank you!

Fluttershy: Oh, wait! You're not really supposed to have pets on school grounds. Might wanna tuck him into your backpack. That's what I do.

[cat meows]

[bird chirps]

Fluttershy: They just get so lonely when I'm in school all day.

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, okay! Thank you!

[school bell rings]

Fluttershy: Oh, no! I'm late for class!
