TWILIGHT'S P.O.V

RING RING RING THE ALARM WENT OFF. I WOKE UP AND GOT READY. WHEN I WAS DONE, I LOOKED IN THE MIRROR.THERE WAS A ROUND, VIOLET LOCKET WITH A PURPLE SWIRL AROUND MY NECK. I HAD NO IDEA HOW IT GOT THERE. I OPENED IT AND SAW A FAMILIAR LOOKING MAGICAL PEARL. MAGICAL ? I GOT THAT IDEA FROM BOOKS. ANYWAYS I WORE THE LOCKET AND HEADED FOR SCHOOL.ON THE WAY OUT I LOOKED AT A PICTURE OF ME AND MY FRIENDS AT A FAIR. I SIGHED AND LEFT MY HOME.  AS I WALKED TOWARDS MY LOCKER WITH MY BOOKS IN MY HANDS, I STOPPED AND BENT MY HEAD IN FRONT OF A MOB OF FRIENDS CHATTING. THOSE OLD DAYS CAME BACK TO MY MIND.I CONTINUED TO WALK AS I HUMMED A SONG :

THERE WAS A TIME WE WERE TOGETHER,

I THOUGHT IT WOULD LAST FOREVER.

THERE WAS A TIME WE WERE FRIENDS,

I THOUGHT IT WOULD NEVER END.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT,

YOU'VE CHANGED A LOT,

YOU'VE CHANGED A LOT.

I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS BUT NOOOO-OH-WHOA-OH.

I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS BUT NOOOO-OH-WHOA-OH.

YOU'VE CHANGED A LOT YOU KNOWWW-OH-WHOA-OH.

YOU'VE CHANGED A LOT YOU KNOWWW-OH-WHOA-OH.

TO ME YOU WERE LIKE A MOM,

TOGETHER WE WERE A BOMB.

WHEN I WRONG YOU CORRECTED ME LIKE A DAD,

AND MADE ME SMILE WHEN I WAS SAD.

TO ME YOU HAD MEANT A LOT,

THERE WAS A TIME WE NEVER FOUGHT.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT,

YOU'VE CHANGED A LOT

YOU'VE CHANGED A LOT

I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS BUT NOOOO-OH-WHOA-OH

I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS BUT NOOOO-OH-WHOA-OH

YOU'VE CHANGED A LOT YOU KNOWWW-OH-WHOA-OH

YOU'VE CHANGED A LOT YOU KNOWWW-OH-WHOA-OH

I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS BUT NOOOOOOOOOO (NOOOOOO)

YOU'VE CHANGED A LOT YOU KNOWWWWW (YOU KNOW)

I WIPED A TEAR AS I REACHED MY LOCKER.I PUT MY TEXTBOOKS IN AND WENT TO THE GROUND TO PRACTICE SOME RANDOM SPORT. SUDDENLY, THERE WAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT-'THE ENTIRE TEAM FOR THE FRIENDSHIP GAMES MUST REPORT TO THE FRONT COURTYARD, IMMEDIATELY.' I RUSHED AS FAST AS I COULD. THE ENTIRE TEAM FOLLOWED. PRINCIPAL CINCH AND VICE PRINCIPAL CADANCE WERE STANDING AT THE BUS DOOR. WE ALL GOT IN AND SAT DOWN. 'HI SUGARCOAT !' I GREETED HER AS I SAT DOWN.'YOU SHOULD CONSIDER NOT SPEAKING IN PUBLIC.' SHE REPLIED FAST. I TURNED FRONT AND BENT MY HEAD A LITTLE. BEFORE I KNEW IT, THE BUS WAS GOING TOWARDS CANTERLOT HIGH SCHOOL.

SUNSET SHIMMER'S P.O.V

WE WERE ALL AT THE GYMNASIUM DRESSED IN RARITY'S BEAUTIFUL OUTFITS WAITING FOR THE SHADOWBOLT'S ARRIVAL. 'IT'S SO BORING..' PINKIE LAMENTED. 'IT SURE IS.' APPLEJACK SAID.I TURNED TO RAINBOW.'I KNOW JUST THE THING.' SHE SAID AND PICKING UP HER GUITAR WALKED UP TO THE STAGE.'COME ON EVERYBODY, LET'S ROCK !' AND BROKE INTO.........................A SONG :

THERE WAS A TIME WE WERE ONLY DEFEATED

AND COULDN'T SEE THE LIGHT

WE COULDN'T SENSE VICTORY

AND ALWAYS STAYED IN THE NIGHT.

BUT NOW

THINGS WILL TAKE A TURN FOR US

IT'S OUR WIN 

AT THE GAMES 

I CAN FEEL IT

THE SHADOWBOLTS WILL LOSE 

I CAN SENSE IT

{GUITAR SOLO}

LET'S GO WIN THE GAMES !

HEY ! HEY !

LET'S GO WIN THE GAMES !

HEY ! HEY !

LET'S GO WIN THE....

WIN THE FRIENDSHIP GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMES !

WHILE SINGING, RAINBOW DID TRANSFORM. THE EARS, TAIL AND WINGS. DURING THE LAST PART, SHE FLOATED INTO THE AIR AND STRETCHED HER HANDS AND LEGS, IT REMINDED ME OF TWILIGHT WHEN SHE WAS SINGING AGAINST THE DAZZLINGS. HER VOICE ECHOED IN MY HEAD.'TO SET, YOURSELF, APART !'. WHEN RAINBOW CAME DOWN, FLUTTERSHY WAS THE FIRST ONE COMPLIMENTING HER.'THAT WAS AWESOME !'. 'I CALL IT THE BALLAD OF THE WONDERCOLTS !' RAINBOW ANNOUNCED.

PRINCIPAL CELESTIA CAME AND ANNOUNCED THAT THE SHADOWBOLTS HAD REACHED.THEY ENTERED THE GYM. BUT UNLIKE ALWAYS, WE HELD OUR HEADS UP HIGH. RAINBOW DID ENCOURAGE US ALL.AS THE STUDENTS PARTED OUT, MY GAZE FELL ON ONE PARTICULAR STUDENT- OUR WORLD'S TWILIGHT SPARKLE.

TWILIGHT'S P.O.V

WE SOON REACHED CHS. A STUDENT OF THAT SCHOOL LED US TO THE GYM WERE THERE WAS A WELCOME PARTY. AS SOON AS I ENTERED THE GYM, I GOT A SERIOUS SHOCK SEEING A REALLY FAMILIAR FACE. IT WAS THE GIRL WHO SPOTTED ME AT THE STATUE THE OTHER DAY. SHE SAW ME TOO BUT WITH A SURPRISED EXPRESSION. A VOICE CALLED OUT HER NAME. SHE WAS HAVING RAINBOW COLORED HAIR. I REALISED SHE WAS CALLING THIS GIRL. 'SUNSET SHIMMER' I MUMBLED TO MYSELF. I BEGAN WALKING AROUND. A GIRL GREETED ME. 'HEY THERE, MY NAME'S PINKIE PIE.' PINKIE STRETCHED OUT HER ARM.'HI' I WAVED MY HAND AND EXTENDED IT TOWARDS HERS 'I'M TWILIGHT'.

'I KNOW' SHE GIGGLED AS SHE SHOOK MY HAND. I JERKED AND MY GLASSES TUMBLED AND MY BUN FELL OF.'YOU LOOK JUST LIKE MY FRIEND. HER NAME IS TWILIGHT TOO.' I SHOT HER A WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LOOK AND CORRECTED MY GLASSES AND HAIR. 'PINKIE PIE !' A GIRL SHOUTED AS SHE WALKED TOWARDS US. 'YOU HAVE TO EXCUSE HER. BY THE WAY I'M RARITY.PINKIE HERE SURE HAS A LOT OF IMAGINARY FRIENDS AND THINKS ANOTHER YOU IS ONE OF THEM......'

PINKIE INTERRUPTED HER,' TWILIGHT'S NOT IMAGINARY ! SHE'S FROM ANOTHER WORLD !'

YET ANOTHER GIRL APPEARED AND INTRODUCED HERSELF AS APPLEJACK.'SORRY PARD'NER. WE NEED TO GO.' AND DRAGGED PINKIE ALONG WITH HER TOWARDS HER GROUP. I JUST CONTINUED WALKING RANDOMLY.

NARRATOR

TWILIGHT KEPT WALKING TILL SHE BUMPED INTO.........................FLASH SENTRY...'TWILIGHT ?'

'HOW DO YOU.....'

'HOW COULD YOU DO THIS ?'

'ME ?'

'I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS. AND NOW YOU JUST FINISHED IT. HOW COULD YOU BE A SHADOWBOLT ?'

'NOT ANOTHER WORD, TWILIGHT SPARKLE ! IT'S ALL OVER !'

FLASH SWIFTLY TURNED AROUND AND WALKED AWAY LEAVING BEHIND A CONFUSED TWILIGHT. SUNSET SHIMMER, HAVING HEARD THE WHOLE CONVERSATION, RAN TO FLASH.' FLASH WAIT ! THIS ISN'T OUR TWILIGHT.'

'ARE YOU SAYING THAT THERE ARE TWO TWILIGHTS ?'

'YES. AND THIS ONE ISN'T THE ONE WE KNOW.'

'SOOO, WILL OUR TWILIGHT COME OVER ANYTIME ?'

'I HOPE SO.'

'OK ?'

'ANYWAYS, I HAVE TO GO. I NEED TO TALK TO THE RAINBOOMS.'

AND SAYING SO, SUNSET LEFT TO JOIN HER FRIENDS. FLASH SCRATCHED HIS HEAD.'WHAT AN AKWARD CONVERSATION' HE THOUGHT TO HIMSELF AND WENT TO JOIN HIS FRIENDS.
