The Heart of the Rose

Chapter 3: Call for help

"We gotta save Twilight!"Said Spike freaking out and went back to sleep.

"You've been up all night Spike, you are a baby dragon afterall."Said Diana as she put a blanket preventing from getting cold. She put off the light and started looking for information about what happened in the party.

"This is hopeless! How can I save Twilight without any information about the new enemy?!"Diana as she looked on every books page.

"Hey Diana found any information? "Asked Applejack as she and the other four ponies came in.

"Guys, I searched every book and still couldn't find any information about the new enemy."Said Diana with a sad face.

Then a magical light spark appear in front of them and it revealed Princess Celestia.

"Princess Celestia, thank goodness your here."Said Diana with joy.

"I heard what happened and I'm afraid we're facing a new enemy."Said Princess Celestia.

"New Enemy!"Said the five ponies with shock.

"This enemy is more stronger, then the ones that Twilight has ever faced."Said Princess Celestia.

"So how are going to save Twilight from this new enemy?"Asked Rarity.

"Yeah, if the enemy put a hoove on Twilight, we'll teach him a lesson,he'll never forget!"Said RainbowDash.

"I hope Twilight it's ok."Said Fluttershy.

"Hope so too."Said Pinkie Pie.

Then a mirror appeared behind Princess Celestia.

"What's that?"Asked Diana.

"This is no ordinary mirror. It is a gateway to another world. A gateway that opens once every thirty has always been kept in the throne room of Canterlot Castle."Said Princess Celestia.

"But when Princess Cadance took over the Crystal Empire, we sent it here for her to watch over."

"I remember that mirror, it's where Twilight and Spike went to the mirror to get back her crown from Sunset Shimmer."Said Applejack.

"Did you just say Sunset Shimmer? "Said Diana.

"Yeah, why?"Asked Applejack.

"Its just Sunset Shimmer was...an old childhood friend of mine."Said Diana.

"What?!"

"Sunset Shimmer and I were very close, when were just little ponies and we did everything together. But when we grown up, she did not get what she wanted as quickly as she liked, she turned cruel and dishonest. I tried to help her, but she eventually decided to abandon her studies and leave Equestria to go to another world with this mirror."

"Afterwards I never saw her ever again."Said Diana with a sad sigh.

"Don't worry darling, Twilight says she changed."Said Rarity.

"Thx for telling me, Rarity."Said Diana, before walking up to the mirror.

"Diana you must go to the other world and get SunsetShimmer."Said Princess Celestia.

"What? How come?"Asked Diana.

"I know she can help."Said Celestia. Diana took a deep breath and started walking to the mirror. The she turned to her friends.

"Aren't you guys coming?"She asked.

"There are another us in that world, so it would be confusing if it had two of us there."Said RainbowDash.

"Ok see you guys in other side."Said Diana and went inside the mirror.

"Diana wait up!"Shouted Spike and went after her.

"Huh? Spike! You're not supposed to– Spike? Are you a... dog?"Diana rubbed her eyes, Spike has been turned into a dog!

"I'm sure am. But you are no longer a pony."Said Spike.

"Huh?"Wondered Diana, she looked at her hooves, but she noticed that she had hands now and she started to scream!

"Diana, you have to get it together!"Said Spike.

"What... does the rest of me look like?!"She asked nervously.

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

"My muzzle?!"Diana freaked out and started panicking.

"Are you gonna scream again?"Said Spike.

"Where are we?"Asked Diana.

"Welcome to Canterlot High."Said Spike.

"Whooaaa."Said Diana looking at the school.

"C'mon, Spike. I do not wanna be like this for longer than I have to. Lets just find the others and SunsetShimmer."Said Diana, she tried to use her magic, but nothing happened.

"Hmm! My magic! It isn't working!"

"By the way you don't exactly have your horn."Said Spike

"What?!"

"We really need to find you a mirror."Said Spike.

Diana tried to stand up, but she fell off.

"And help you walk."He added.

Meanwhile Twilight woke up from her dizzy state, she didn't know where she was and when she fluttered her eyes open she realized she was in a cage.

"Where am I?"She Asked.

"Hello princess."

"Who are you? And whoever you are you won't get away with this!"Said Twilight in anger and then she heard an evil laughter.

"My friends will rescue me!"

"Oh really?" Twilight felt a smirk grew on his face.

Then a Changeling appeared and it transformed into Twilight.

"Oh please! My friends will easily know the difference."Muttered Twilight.

"But weren't finished yet princess."Said The voice.

Then a pink ring went on Twilight's head and also on the fake Twilight, then the two rings disappeared.

"Hi I'm Twilight Sparkle Princess of Friendship and Celestia's star student."Said The fake Twilight and gave an evil smirk on Twilight.

Twilight gasped in horror. The ring that was the fake's head has given it the power to have her personality and her memories.

Even worse how will her friends will figure it out the difference and find out they were going to rescue a fake?
