Chapter 7: The Ancient Book
Previous Chapter Next ChapterCANTERLOT HIGH SCHOOL 12:30 PM
Students are in the foyer and hallways of the school. The six girls are trying to figure out about the three girls acting in a strange way.
"Those three are definitely in possession of some kind of dark magic.", Sunset considered, as she and her five friends were going to the principal's office to explain to Celestia and Luna about those three strange girls. "How else could you explain what happened back there?"
"Don't worry, y'all. We let Principal Celestia know all about this, and those girls'll be kicked to the curb in no time. Last thing she needs is another CHS event almost ruined by some power-crazed lunatic.", planned Applejack, before realizing she's talking about Sunset's bad past at the Fall Formal again. "No offence."
"None taken.", saddened Sunset.
Soon, they are speaking with Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna about the problem with the three girls in the cafeteria.
"Dark magic? I find that very hard to believe. Those girls came into my office earlier and were absolutely delightful.", alleged Celestia.
"Perhaps Sunset Shimmer is just eager to make someone else out to be a bad element, so that her actions at the Fall Formal will become old news.", Luna also alleged about Sunset's past at the Fall Formal.
Sunset nervously tried to excuse, "I could see why you might think that, but-"
"That's not what's happening. We saw all of this go down in the cafeteria too!", interrupted Sunset.
"Yes, but isn't your band supposed to be part in the musical showcase?", Celestia asks Rainbow.
"Yes?", Rainbow accepted reluctantly.
"I also promised that if Garfield and his friends are here, he can play his songs from his world."
"Perhaps you're all just worried that the Dazzlings will steal your spotlight.", Luna reminded.
"The Dazzlings...?", Applejack puzzled, as she and the other five discover the trio's new band name.
"It's the name of their musical group. That's why they came by my office earlier, to sign up for the showcase. Even sang a little song to Vice-Principal Luna and I.", Celestia explains the trio's band name The Dazzlings.
"They did?"
"Yes. And we thing having a Battle of the Bands instead is a marvellous idea."
As Celestia says this, the camera shot zooms out to show Celestia and Luna's eyes turn green for a second, hinting that the trio has affected them too.
The six girls look at each other, worried.
CANTERLOT HIGH SCHOOL COURTYARD 12:40 PM
The six girls are outside the school, near the statue where it used to be the portal to Equestria.
"I can't believe they got to Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal too.", says Fluttershy, taking care of the ladybug that was seen in the first film.
"They've gotten to everybody!", corrected Rainbow Dash, as she is kicking her soccer ball.
"Not everybody!", said the cheerful Pinkie Pie, looking at her five friends, as they and she are the non-affected ones.
"Pinkie Pie's right. We were there when the Dazzlings were singin', and we weren't affected. It was like we were protected somehow.", Applejack agreed.
"So let's take them down! It's not like we haven't tangled with dark magic before and totally whupped it's sorry butt.", suggested Rainbow Dash, once again realizing she's talking about the events of the Fall Formal like Applejack did earlier. "No offence."
"None taken. Again.", sighed Sunset, saddened again.
"But that was when Twilight, Garfield and his friends were here.", added Fluttershy, reminding her five friends about the time when Garfield, his friends, Twilight and Spike were here when the Fall Formal was held. The Humane Six back then use the Magic of Friendship and the six Garfield characters became DC-like superheroes. "There may be some kind of magic inside us, but it only comes out when we play music.", she says this, as the ladybug she was taking care of flying off. "I sure don't know how to use it to whup anybody's butt."
Rarity sighs and hoped: "If only if we could get a message to Twilight, Garfield and his friends. Maybe they could tell us how to break the spell the Dazzlings' have cast on our friends.", polishing her fingernails.
"Well, that's not gonna happen. The portal's closed.", Rainbow Dash lamented, kicking the ball towards the portal for an example. The ball itself hits the portal, which bounces back to her.
Rarity, noticing the ball coming towards her, ducks to avoid getting hit by the ball, causing the nail polish she was using to polish her fingernails to spill on her arm. She gasps in anger and distraught.
"And I get the feeling they don't exactly have cell phones where she's from.", Rainbow Dash continued explaining.
Sunset, knowing that cell phones don't exist in Equestria, she scratches her head to get an idea how to get a message to Garfield and Twilight, and she finally has it.
"I may have an idea how we can get in touch with Princess Twilight and Garfield!", brightened Sunset, as the five girls were listening.
A few minutes later, Sunset arrives at her locker inside the school again as she finds an ancient Equestrian book in a box.
"When I was Princess Celestia's student back in Equestria, she gave me this.", described Sunset, holding out the ancient book, wiping the dust off her own symbol on the book in the process. "Even after I abandoned my studies, I held on to it. Deep down, I guess I knew I was making a big mistake and I wanted to still have a way to reach out to her.", she then says, flipping through the pages of the ancient book, stopping at the pages where they're blank, touching it. "Maybe it still works."
"That's a book, darling. What do you mean, "maybe still works"?", asks Rarity, not getting the idea.
"It used to be that if I wrote something here, it would appear in the pages of a book back in Princess Celestia's library. I get a message to her, then she can get a message to Twilight, Garfield and his friends! Although one more thing. When I first came here into this universe, I've been strangely interacting through other dimensions when I travelled here.", added Sunset, talking about her first time travelling to this alternate universe and interacting to other dimensions.
"How many dimensions did you interact with?", Fluttershy curiously responded.
"Let's just say, maybe a dozen. Maybe this book might also have a connection between other dimensions, and I've known lots of people when I did this. I'll just do three of those dimensions, and maybe they could help us too. First I'll do Celestia's message, then Headmistress Faragonda, then Charlie Brown, and finally Headmasters Milton and Giles.", says Sunset.
"Who are they?", Applejack asks her, before changing her mind and just going with Sunset's idea. "It doesn't matter. Continue on."
"So what are you waiting for?", Rainbow Dash eagerly excites, holding a pen for Sunset to write the messages as she and her four friends look at Sunset hopefully. "Get to writing!"
Sunset grabs the pen, looks at it, and looks at the ancient book, nervous about her writing skills. "Been a long time since I've written these words...", she says, before she starts writing:
"Dear Princess Celestia..."
As she says this, a camera shot shows the pen writing words in the book, sparkling with magic. As it zooms up to the sparkling pen's ballpoint and we (readers) are sent through a portal with the same IMAX intensity as we felt in the first film.
And we enter...
