Tears of Sunlight

Chapter 4: Friendship Games Part 1

Author's Note

OK, I know the events of Rainbow Rocks were kind of repetitive in Scars but the way the characters react to the situations, namely Sunset and Celestia, are important. I did my best to write it so it was interesting and not as boring or repetitive as my writing for Scars. So enjoy!....hopefully.

I was also featured last night! So thanks and everyone have fun. Happy Brony-Con!

 "So, this is the Twilight that was born here?" Luna clarified.

Sunset nodded. Oh, what a day it had been. Now they had to deal with Princess Twilight's counterpart. Shortly after the party, Sunset, Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna gathered in Celestia's office due to the confusion of Twilight Sparkle's appearance and Sunset almost having a panic attack later.

"And now we can't even get the help from Equestria's Twilight because this Twilight did something to the portal." Sunset explained, "At this point, I'm actually concerned as to what she's doing. Someone could get hurt!"

Celestia nodded, maintaining a calm tone "I understand but we cannot just go and start a panic among the students. Twilight seemed like a nice girl; I doubt she would do anything bad with it."

"Not on purpose!" Sunset stressed, "You should have seen Pinkie Pie. She looked like she was about to pass out. It was the first time we wanted to give her a boost."

"Sunset," Luna said, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder, "I believe you are overreacting. What happened last time likely will not happen again."

Sunset sighed, "I know but for me, it was terrifying."

"We get that." Luna said, "But you need to leave that in the past where it belongs."

Sunset nodded and looked at the clock, eyes widening. "Shouldn't you guys be starting the first event?"

The sister's looked at the clock and the three of them rushed out of the room.

In the academic decathlon, there are 7 events: Chemistry, wood shop, spelling, baking, art, history and the elimination equation. Each student has to participate in at least three of the six events and only one can participate in the Elimination equation.

So, team CHS discussed events and they all made it a point of getting Sunset to do the most difficult subjects as she was, for some reason, the only honor student on the team. Sunset was sure that Microchips was an honor student as well but then he explained that he was just simply good at chess and working with computers.

So, Sunset would be doing the history competition with Rarity, Fluttershy, Micro Chips, and Lyra. Everyone was required to do Chemistry. Sunset and her friends would do the spelling bee, no one even wanted Sunset near a stove and the team also assigned Sunset to the final event.

Sunset was flattered that they had so much faith.

CHS lost the chemistry, spelling and wood shop competitions but excelled in art, history and baking.

Sunset couldn't help but be stressed out due to the other Twilight but didn't want to let her school down.

Now, in a tie, Sunset and Twilight approached the stage, each with their own nervousness getting the better of them. Celestia gave Sunset an encouraging smile and Dean Cadence gave Twilight the same.
