What's up, bronies and pegasisters! I'm back with a new chappie for Equestria Girls for Life! It just made my day to see that I had a review, so thank you, GuardianAngel1234567. So I forgot to mention this in the last chappie, MLP, or Equestria Girls (same thing), doesn't belong to me, but to Hasbro. And for all my flashlight shippers, please pray that flashlight becomes a canon in the show. And if it wasn't for Trixie, we would have had a legit flashlight moment. (Spoiler) I'm sorry.

Please read this story before I go on a rampage.

Ch.2

It was the middle of the day, and Twilight was in the cafeteria eating lunch with Shining Armor and Candace. She had just gotten out of biology, and Mr. Haysworth, in Twilight's opinion, was by far the most boring teacher she had ever met. Throughout a lecture about ATP, he spoke in such a monotonous voice. Twilight thought she was going die of boredom.

"Never thought I'd say this, but thank goodness I'm out of that class," Twilight said.

Shining Armor smiled and took a tator tots. "Bro! Why you jacking my tots?" she playfully scolded. Shining Armor smiled and wiped his mouth. "So how was your day so far, Miss. Pessimistic?" Shining asked. Twilight playfully punched him and shrugged. "It was okay. I mean, biology was boring, but easy," Twilight said.

"Twily, please tell me you made at least one friend," Shining Armor pleaded. "Did you meet anyone knew?"

Twilight looked away and twirled her hair around her finger, blushing a bit. Candace noticed this and smirked. "Wait just a minute, Twilight. You met a boy, did you?" she asked. Twilight didn't answer but took a bite from her pizza. "Ohmigosh, you did meet a boy, did you? Twilight, you sly fox you!"

"Okay, where is he so I can clobber him?" Shining Armor said.

"It's not like that, Candace! I bumped into him this morning and he helped me up. That's all there is to it. Nothing more," Twilight said defensively.

"Mmm-hmm. Sure, Twilight. Whatever you say," Candace teased her. "Just remember, I'm the princess of love. So I can detect anything romantic."

Twilight blushed and looked away. "Shoot! Twily, can you go get my backpack? It should be outside on the field, right next to the door," Shining Armor said. Twilight got up and walked out of the cafeteria and hurried down the hallway. 'As long as I have an excuse to get out of that mess, I'll go anywhere,' Twilight thought to herself. She walked out to the field, feeling the breeze hitting her face.

"LOOK OUT!"

Before Twilight could react, a soccer ball crashed into Twilight's stomach. Twilight gasped at the impact and doubled over, moaning in pain. "Are you okay?" Rainbow Dash asked, running over to the hurt girl. "I am so sorry! I didn't mean to!" Twilight shook her head and slowly got back up. "It's okay; I've gone through worse," Twilight said.

"You're not hurt badly, are you?" Fluttershy asked kindly. "I know Rainbow can kick pretty hard."

"No, no," Twilight said, brushing off the dirt off her clothes. "Really, I'm fine. I'm still living, so I'm fine."

"Great!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed! She rushed over to Twilight and shook her hand. "I'm super duper uber glad to meet'cha! I'm Pinkie Pie, and these are my friends Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Sunset Shimmer!"

"Hello," the girls said.

"It's nice to meet you all. I'm Twilight Sparkle," Twilight introduced. "Can I ask you guys something? You girls wouldn't happen to know anyone who made of me, would you?"

The girls froze and looked at each other. Sunset looked really nervous and gulped. "Actually, Twilight. Yes, I do. And I am responsible," Sunset confessed, looking at the ground, ashamed. "But I wasn't pointing it at you directly! It's kind of unbelievable, and you won't really believe me, but there was another girl named Twilight Sparkle who ran for the Fall Formal Princess. I thought if I made that video people wouldn't vote for her. I'm truly am sorry if I offended you, and I don't blame you if you hate me. But I couldn't forgive myself if I didn't tell you the truth."

"Well, I appreciate the fact the fact you telling me the truth, Sunset Shimmer," Twilight said, smiling. "There's nothing I admire more than an honest person."

Sunset smiled a bit, then her face brightened. "Hey! After school, the girls are going out to Sugar Cube Corner for some smoothies and brownies. Would you care to join us? It'll give us a chance to get to know you better." Twilight looked at the girls and shook her head, feeling a bit guilty. "I'm sorry, girls, but I'm going to have to decline your offer," she said. "My dream of becoming a world-renowned scientists does not depend on me making some friends. While I understand your intentions on being acquainted with me, I'm better off being alone. I'm sorry, but I have to go now." She spotted Shining Armor's purple back with his signature shield design and walked away. She walked back into the school, leaving the girls shocked.

"Okay," Rainbow Dash said after a while. "I did not see that coming."

Twilight walked back towards the cafeteria and, thinking about the girls she just met. 'Was I a bit too harsh on them?' Twilight thought. She shook her head a bit and set a determined look on her face. 'Get a grip, Sparkle! Don't get sidetracked! You need to keep your eyes on the prize. Don't lose sight of what's important. You can't fill your mind with nonsense!'

Twilight sighed and stared at the ground, until she bumped into someone, once again making her fall on her butt. "Seriously? Twice in one day?" she grumbled. She looked up and saw that it was (of course) Flash Sentry. She looked at him and blushed a bit, twirling her hair around her fingers. "Sorry, again. I wasn't paying attention," she said. Flash smiled and held out his hand, which she gladly took.

"No prob," Flash replied."So, this Saturday, my band's playing over at the Cage. You should come."

Twilight shuffled her feet a bit and giggled a bit. "Um…. S-sure. I'll be sure to come," Twilight replied, and looked at their hands. They realized that they were still holding hands. The two blushed and laughed a bit and broke their hold from each other.

"Great! So I-I'll see you around!" Flash said.

He turned around and walked off, keeping his gaze on the girl and not paying attention to where he was going. He broke his gaze away from her and his face came in contact with a bathroom door that swung open. He stumbled back as he got whapped in the face, rubbing his face in pain. He looked at Twilight, smiled sheepishly and walked off, caressing his face. Twilight smiled and giggled at his clumsiness and bit her lips, then turned around and walked back to the cafeteria.

After school, the girls had went over to Sugar Cube Corner, eating smoothies and brownies at their usual spot. Rainbow Dash took a bit out of her brownie and looked at the others. "Can you believe that Twilight just blew us off like that?" she exclaimed. "I mean, I thought she was gonna be awesome, not some Ebenezer Scrooge."

"She did seem rather cold," Rarity agreed. "Her reply to our offer was quite a shocker."

"Maybe we were rushing in on things," Fluttershy said. "I mean, we could have startled her a bit."

Rainbow rolled her eyes and finished off her treat, then grabbing another one. "Please! 'My dream of becoming a world-renowned scientist does not depend on me making some friends,'" Rainbow sneered, mimicking Twilight's voice. "All we did was ask her if she wanted to join us after school. No reason for bringing on the attitude, Miss. Anti-Social."

"Now, just hold on a minute!" Applejack said. "Ah know Twilight's not what we had in mind, but that doesn't mean we go talkin' badly behind her back! Friend or not, we don't say rude things 'bout other people behind their backs."

"But AJ-"

"No buts! Twilight's new here, and the last thing we want is for the poor gal to be scared out of her mind." Rainbow frowned and slumped back in her seat, muttering some things under her breath. Fluttershy twirled the straw around and looked at her friends. "You know, I thought Big Mac hated me because he never seem to talk to me, or look at me," she said. "The only time we did talk was when Applejack was around, but all he ever said was 'Eeyup' or 'Eenope.' But after a while, we started to talk and hang out. I realized that Big Mac didn't hate me, he was just shy, that's all."

"But you are Big Mac are dating, right?" Pinkie Pie asked.

Fluttershy blushed and took a sip from her beverage, her cheeks colored pink. "Yes," she whispered timorously, though it was loud enough for the girls to hear. Sunset smiled and nodded as if she understood. "I get it. You misjudged Big Mac before you got to know him. But when you got to spend time with him, you found out he's not what you thought he was." Fluttershy smiled and nodded, blushing at the fact her boyfriend had been mentioned in the conversation. Sunset touched Fluttershy's shoulder and looked at the other girls. "Basically, what Fluttershy is trying to say is that just because one person acted a sort of way, that doesn't mean that you put all these labels on them. We can't judge Twilight just because she turned down our offer. We have to get to know her before we make our decision about her."

Pinkie Pie smiled and blew up nearly a dozen balloons in less than ten seconds. "Well, the quickest way to be besties with someone is… A PARTY!" With that, Pinkie Pie took some streamers and confetti from her hair and threw them in the air, laughing. Some customers stared at her with questioning looks, but Pinkie Pie didn't seem to notice. "Ooh ooh ooh! For the party, we're gonna need some treats, balloons, banners, the whole package! And a party's not a party without some cake! What am I doing here? I got a party to plan!" Pinkie Pie got up and dashed out the door, a gust of wind flying behind her. The girls frowned and looked at each other, their hair now a mess.

"I do wish that sometimes Pinkie wasn't so jumpy," Rarity grumbled, taking a hairbrush out and grooming her hair back it its fabulous state.

Sunset nodded and smiled. "It's Pinkie Pie we're talking about. If there's a party, she'll be all over it. She is head of the party committee," Sunset pointed out. "Besides, if Pinkie wasn't so happy and giddy all the time, then we would never have such a good time." The girls smiled, silently agreeing, and continued to eat their treats.

Later that evening, Twilight and her family were eating dinner. Shining Armor rambled on about the school's football team, while Twilight filled Spike's bowl with dog food. "The guys on the team are really cool, dad," Shining Armor was saying. "Not only that, the coach asked me to come over on practice and see what I'm able to do. If I'm on the team, then I'll be able to take the Wonder colts to a leading victory."

"Now that's the spirit, son!" Night Light said. "I told you you'd have no trouble getting on the team."

"How about you, Twilight?" Twilight Velvet asked. "Did you make any friends?"

Twilight shrugged and played with her tomatoes. "'Friends' isn't the term I'd use," she answered. "'Acquaintances' is more suitable. I met them during lunch at the soccer field. They asked me if I wanted to hang out with them after school, but I declined."

Twilight's mother frowned in disappointment as she served everyone with lasagna. "Twilight, I know you're working so hard to achieve your goals, but being unsocial is very unhealthy," Twilight Velvet said. "Having friends won't kill you."

"I interact with people," Twilight argued.

"Candace doesn't count," Shining Armor said. "Sure you guys are friends, but we mean people in your age group."

Twilight frowned and looked at Spike. "Well, what about Spike? We spend time with each other," Twilight pointed out. Night Light shook his head and wiped a smudge of cheese off his mouth. "Though that may be true, Spike is a dog. You're a human," he pointed out. "We're talking about people within your species." Twilight frowned and slumped a bit in my seat. Her mother sighed and looked at Twilight directly in the eye. "I understand your intentions- and excuse me for my rudeness- but how do you plan to ever succeed in life if you're not willing to talk to your classmates?"

Everyone stopped eating at stared at Twilight Velvet in shock. No one had expected this. "If you can't get along with other people, how will you cooperate with your fellow scientists?" Twilight Velvet continued. Night Light nudged his wife gently and shook his head. "Velvet, let's not get rash about this," he whispered. Twilight Velvet glared at her husband, then sighed and smiled towards Twilight gently.

"I'm sorry I lashed out on you, honey," she said. "I didn't mean to go offensive on you. I just really want you to make friends this time."

Twilight nodded and stared at her plate. "No, it's okay, mom. I get it," she murmured. Twilight Velvet smiled brightly and walked over to the kitchen. She later came out with a platter of chocolate cake. "How about we forget about all this squabble and have dessert?" she suggested. Shining Armor practically drooled as Twilight Velvet passed them each a slice. Even thought Twilight ate her share, her mother's statement remained in her mind.
