Five & A Half Months Later...

CANTERLOT HIGH SCHOOL 12:00 PM

In the alternate universe, everyone was creating their posters for, as what Garfield predicted, the upcoming musical showcase.

Everyone was cutting and pasting paper to form letters and decorations for their logos, and instead painting the logo to make it look more artistic.

One of the groups, who are the Cutie Mark Crusaders, was painting their logo, but as Sweetie Belle was smiling at her friend Scootaloo, someone grabs the paintbrush as the three look.

It was Sunset Shimmer, who is now nicer than before.

"Want some help?", nicely asks Sunset, asking if she can help paint with the Crusaders.

"Uh, no thanks. We're good.", kindly answers Applebloom.

"Oh. Okay.", the nice girl sadly answers too.

As Sunset Shimmer gives the paintbrush back, she and the three crusaders hear Pinkie Pie's voice.

"SUNSET SHIMMER! OVER HERE!", Pinkie Pie shouted cheerfully. She was with the other four friends that Twilight and Garfield recruited with.

Sunset smiles with happiness to Pinkie, before she starts to walk over to the five. As she does so, everyone she encounters along the way who are drawing and decorating their signs, mumble angrily about what Sunset did at the Fall Formal five months ago.

"Ugh, I had no idea that the whole school would be here.", laments Sunset, as Fluttershy comforts her. Rarity and Pinkie Pie hold up their poster for Sunset and their friends to see.

"Quite the eye-catching advertisement, if I do say so myself.", Rarity comments.

"And it smells like cake!", Pinkie Pie adds.

"It does?", asks Fluttershy, trying to get a whiff of the cake-scented poster. Pinkie shoves it into her face, accidentally putting icing and glitter on her face.

"I used frosting instead of paste!", reveals Pinkie Pie.

"Uh, Fluttershy, you've got a little somethin', uh...", Applejack tries to remind Fluttershy about the mess on her face, but she only grabs a few of the glitter from her cheek.

"Did I get it?"

"Heh, not exactly.", smiled Applejack.

Sunset Shimmer helps Fluttershy by removing the glitter and icing off her face with a cloth. The principal and vice-principal comes in.

"Good afternoon, students! I just wanted to tell you all how pleased I am, that so many of you are going to participate in the first ever Canterlot High School Musical Showcase, suggested by the world's famous cat, Garfield!", announced Celestia, as the crowd cheers. "This is a wonderful opportunity to raise money for all our after-school programs here at CHS. Keep working on those signs and posters! I think it's going to be one of the most exciting events at CHS since the Fall Formal, when Garfield and his friends save us all!"

Sunset is fear-stricked when she heard about the Fall Formal, which is telling the events of the first film. All the students except the Humane Five and the principals glare at her about what she did five months earlier.

With her past haunting her, she slumps down in sadness and embarrassment, with her five new friends feeling bad for her.
