Chapter 12: Friendship is Magic?
Previous Chapter Next ChapterCANTERLOT HIGH SCHOOL 2:00 PM
Every student is at the gym. Even Twilight, Garfield and his group. Some of the students were starting to talking, glancing and looking at one another.
Twilight, Garfield, Odie, Pinkie Pie, Poppy, Cupid, Snoopy and Roxy were eating the available food including cookies, cupcakes and other sweets and drinks. The other 19 are looking at the angry students that are affected by the Dazzlings.
Snips and Snails, Sunset's past "minions", are messing with Flash Sentry and his band. When Flash was about to "punch" him, he grabbed his cup instead.
"I'm gonna get more punch.", he paused his attack, no pun intended.
Flash, going to get more fruit punch, bumps into Twilight and Garfield, causing the former princess to lose her footing, Flash saving her just as she was about to fall. Garfield meows, signing a love is about to spark.
"Twilight? Garfield?", said Flash, flabbergasted.
"Running gags.", Garfield spoke to the readers.
"Bumped...into...always...doing?", Twilight took a breath.
"What are you doing here?", asked the rocker curiously.
"Saving the world. Again.", answered Garfield. "That's what we do."
Flash continued, "You came back for the big competition, right?"
"Something like that.", Garfield and Twilight both answer.
"Heh. Not that there's gonna be any real competition. No one here wants this as bad as my band does.", Flash bragged.
As Rainbow Dash, Nermal, Tecna, Poppy and Squeak see the Dazzlings enter the gym. Rainbow Dash, Nermal and Squeak borrows three chocolate chips from the cookies Pinkie Pie and Odie are eating, and the three throw it at Twilight and Garfield to get both of their attentions. Both the princess and the cat look at Rainbow Dash, Nermal, Squeak, Tecna and Poppy, who the five cock their heads for the two to see the Dazzlings finally at the gym.
"Can you excuse us for just a minute?", Twilight asks Flash for some time, before she and Garfield go with the others for their sneak attack after noticing the Dazzlings.
"Now's our cue!", Poppy and Tecna both said, as she leads the rest of the other characters besides the six girls for their sneak attack, and with Rainbow Dash leading Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Sunset Shimmer and Pinkie Pie. Pinkie, now wanting to let the cookies go to waste, saves some by hiding it in her hair, and catches up with them.
The Dazzlings are at the centre of the gymnasium, witnessing the students under their spell as they fight, argue and mock.
"Oh, no! No one's mingling!", faked Adagio, acting distressed before going back to her evil voice, "It's like there's some kind of underlying tension that could bubble to the surface at any minute."
"It's the fruit punch, isn't it?", says the dumb Sonata, holding a bottle of apple juice. "I knew I used too much grape juice."
Adagio sighs and says, "It's not the fruit punch. It's us!"
"But the punch is awful too.", insults Aria at Sonata.
The blue-haired Dazzling talks back, "What do you know about good fruit punch?"
"More than you."
"Do not!", fought Sonata, slapping her nose lightly.
"Do too.", fought Aria, messing the other Dazzling's hair, who she settles it back.
"This is just the kickoff party, girls. Imagine what a tizzy they'll be in by the time the Battle of the Bands starts...", Adagio hoped that their evil plan will start working, as her eyes, along with Sonata and Aria's, turn green for the 3rd time.
"There isn't going to be a Battle of the Bands!", Garfield and Twilight both yelled to the trio, getting their attention, their eye colours switching back to normal and turning around to see Twilight, Pinkie, Rainbow, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Garfield, Odie, Jon, Liz, Nermal and Arlene altogether.
"We're gonna make sure of that! For the second time!", Garfield vowed heroically.
Squeak, Sunset Shimmer, Poppy, Tecna, Woodstock, Cupid, Roxy, Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Selina, Blondie, Ashlynn, Darling and Rosabella are watching this with pride, hoping that the magic of friendship and Garfield and his friends' superhero powers might work again.
"All right, guys. Let's do this.", Twilight said to her five friends and the six Garfield characters.
The six girls hold hands while the six Garfield characters are preparing to raise their fists up in the air, in order for the magic of friendship and the superpowers to start.
"Friendship is...MAGIC!", Twilight yelled, holding hands with the other five girls to unleash their power.
"Go JUSTICE LEAGUE!", Garfield, Odie, Jon, Liz, Nermal and Arlene also yelled, raising their fists altogether to unleash their power too.
But there was only one problem.
Nothing happened.
Sonata shrugs to Adagio and Aria, after watching the twelve unleash their powers, but they weren't happening.
Squeak, Sunset and the other twelve who are watching this are embarrassed to show the twelve in a situation like this.
Rainbow and Nermal open their eyes, realizing their powers aren't happening.
"Uh, weren't there rainbows and lasers and stuff last time?", the athlete whispered to the princess.
"And weren't we wearing superhero costumes and had Justice League powers and stuff too?", the cute cat whispered to the tabby cat also.
"I don't understand. We're all together again.", both Twilight and Garfield allegedly whispered. "Why isn't this working?"
The twelve see some of the students and The Dazzlings looking at them angrily.
"You, uh, really need to go ahead and do that whole "magic of friendship" thing now.", whispered Spike to the princess.
"And that "DC superhero" stuff!", hurried Odie.
"We're trying, Spike and Odie. I thought the six of us standing together against the Sirens would bring out the magic we needed to defeat them. That's what happened before.", Twilight alleged.
"Same with the superpowers.", alleged Garfield too.
"Talk about throwing down the gauntlet!", foreshadowed and spoke Adagio to everyone. "This group is obviously serious about winning! A little cocky, though, aren't they? Claiming there won't really be a battle. Seems they think they've already got this thing locked up."
Squeak, Snoopy, Woodstock, Garfield and Odie gulp, with a 5-piece split screen.
"Not if the Great and Powerful TRIXIE has anything to do with it!", Trixie provoked.
Flash, also affected by the Dazzlings' spell, provoked to the "Great and Powerful" girl, "Whatever, Trixie! We're the best band at CHS!"
The CMC also provoked to Trixie and Flash, "No! The Crusaders are gonna win!"
Suddenly, Garfield, Twilight, Sunset, Snoopy, Tecna, Poppy and the rest of the unaffected people are horrified to be surrounded by arguing people around, with negative energy spreading across the gym, camera zooms out. The Dazzlings, standing altogether, absorbs the negative energy into their pendants, causing their pendants to glow.
"Retreat!", Garfield whispered to his fellow unaffected people, going to exit the gym.
"I think we may have found what we're looking for...or rather, it found us.", evilly says Adagio, as she tried to get Sonata of what found them. They didn't answer. Aria facepalms hard while Adagio shouts, "Magic!", as she points out to the screen. "Don't you see? Everyone else has fallen under our spell."
The Dazzlings see Garfield, Odie, Jon, Liz, Nermal, Arlene, Twilight, The Humane Five, Sunset Shimmer, Squeak, the six EAH characters, the three Winx Club and the three Peanuts characters sneaking out the gym as a retreat.
"But not these guys. These guys are special. We'll meet someone after dusk tonight...", schemed Adagio, as another shot shows the trio smiling diabolically.
