Somewhere We Belong

Chapter 1: Pep Ralley

(Opening Theme: Soul Eater NOT Opening 1 Monochrome)

The very next day Sunset and everyone else met up at the library. She had already told the others about the strange two people in front of Canterlot High. While Rainbow Dash was doing research on the two people, the others did their own thing while Sunset paced back and forth.

"They were definitely doing something with the statue." Sunset said to them as she paced, "Or was going to."

"Do you think they came from Equestria?" Fluttershy asked, "Or, another world for that matter?"

Sunset shook her head and replied, "I'm pretty sure I would've noticed that. I think they're from over here"

"Well that's good news." Applejack said, "If we had to deal with an evil creature from a different world it would be too soon."

"Agreed." Rarity said, "I don't think my wardrobe can keep up; fighting evil creatures in all."

Sunset said, "Still, there were two mysterious figures snooping around the portal? Don't you wanna know what they were up to?"

Fluttershy couldn't help but shudder, "I don't even wanna guess."

Rainbow Dash had suddenly appeared from around the corner of the bookcase. "You won't have to." She said to her, "Because I just found out who those two are!"

Pinkie Pie couldn't help but say as she held up a couple of books, "Oh! Oh! A Nighttime Statue Cleaner? A Magical Portal Maintenance Maintainer? A GARDENER!?"

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes, and said to Pinkie, "Seeing how as they got on a bus from the city, and then got back on a bus back to the city, it could only mean they go to..."

"Crystal Prep." The five of them said in unison.

Rainbow Dash continued, "And seeing how the Friendship Games are being held tomorrow, it would make sense for them to prank us, by defacing the Wondercolt Statue."

Sunset couldn't help but ask, "Okay, why would someone come all the way from the city just to do that?"

"Because the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts are our biggest rivals." Applejack said.

"Because that's just what the students at Crystal Prep would do." Rarity added.

"Because even though they beat us at everything, soccer, tennis, golf, etcetera." Rainbow Dash said, "They still have to gloat about it."

Rainbow Dash showed Sunset a picture of what the Wondercolt Statue looked like with with clown makeup and outfit.

"Seems kind of silly to me." Sunset said putting the picture aside

"SILLY!?" The five of them exclaimed causing Sunset to flinch slightly.

Rainbow Dash asked, "So I'm guessing that you think the Friendship Games are silly too?"

"Well, it's not like we'll be fighting the evil powers of magic, or some other kind of power." Sunset said, as she couldn't help but roll her eyes. Fluttershy had said, "No. We'll be fighting against a school full of meanies. Not everything has to be of magic or some other kind of origin to be important."

Sunset let out a sigh, "You're right, I'm sorry. I know it's a big deal."

"Oh, that's putting it mildly darling." Rarity said, "They're still modifying the playing field for the games."

"But I just don't see why there's this big rivalry." Sunset said, "I thought the Friendship Games were supposed to about getting along."

"That's kind of hard to do when you have someone that beats you at every single thing, every single time." Applejack said.
