Cherry was alone now, so she sat on a bench outside.

Teller came right behind her. "The magic's waves are getting stronger."

Cherry yelped and shivered, grabbing her chest.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you." Teller said to her.

"You're a little late for that!" Cherry scolded.

"Sorry, sorry, anyway, the magic waves are getting stronger." Teller said.

"So I see..." Cherry hummed.

"It's because of the band from Sunset Shimmer, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie," Teller sat next to her. "For some odd reason, their own Equestrian magic is playing up when they preform together or when they use their elements. Since Sci-Twi has that pendant, she can use it to conceal their magic and become Midnight Sparkle."

"What're we waiting for!?" Cherry stood up, about to run off. "We have to stop this madness!"

"I'm sorry, but the only way to stop it from happening is if Patch destroys it or Sci-Twi and Atticus don't conceal the magic." Teller told her.

"Why am I even here then?" Cherry groaned. "Why are Mo and I forced into this madness if we don't have to do anything?"

"Now I didn't say that, all you have to do is make sure that they don't unleash the magic." Teller told her.

"How's that?" Cherry asked.

"Don't you know that friendship is magic?" Teller held her to make her look him in the eyes. "It can do so much, not just for you, but for everybody... Especially everypony... It's crazy in Equestria right now. That's why Princess Twilight is still gone and our Twilight is wandering around the hallways with Atticus right now as we speak."

"My life is so crazy nowadays..." Cherry groaned slightly.

"I understand, let's just hope that Patch will destroy the device before it's too late." Teller said.

Cherry looked back to Canterlot High School with a sigh.

Sci-Twi didn't understand how the Canterlot students knew her and Atticus and kept saying hi to them as she walked with her pendant to find the source of the magic she was secretly studying. Sci-Twi did her best to be friendly and social by saying hi back, but she was really confused, and even bumped into Flash Sentry, accidentally knocking both of them down on the floor.

'What is with Flash and Twilight bumping into each other even though this Twilight hasn't met him yet?' Atticus thought to himself.

"Twilight? Atticus?" Flash asked once he got off of Sci-Twi, but helped Sci-Twi up, of course he would... "I almost didn't recognize you."

Sci-Twi's eyes were squinted and she kept tapping whatever was in front of her due to not being able to see.

"When did she start wearing glasses?" Flash asked Atticus once he picked them up.

"This Twilight isn't from Equestria." Atticus whispered to him.

Flash was surprised, not sure whether in a good way or not.

"Thanks, Atticus. "Sci-Twi said once she got her glasses back.

Sci-Twi stared to Flash Sentry, feeling very odd inside her body, but she saw her pendant was blinking which caught her attention even more. "Uh... I've gotta go." she then dashed off instantly.

"Sorry, Flash, I gotta go too, gotta make sure she doesn't get lost." Atticus said as an excuse before joining her.

"Uh... Okay? Bye... Aw..." Flash mumbled once he was alone and picked up his guitar case.

Derpy sensed Flash to be in trouble, so she came behind him and patted him on the back in sympathy.

---

"So which way is it pointing to now, Twilight?" Atticus asked.

"There's a high frequency coming around here..." Sci-Twi said once they came to one hallway.

There were a couple of doors only slightly cracked open and a purple mist was flowing out of the doors and flowing into Sci-Twi's pendant.

"Whoa." Atticus said.

"It came from in there..." Sci-Twi said to Atticus. "I wonder..."

---

The two came in and saw the music room. That was where the Human Mane Six was.

"Twilight and Atticus?" the group asked, sounding delighted and surprised in a very good way.

"Uh... Yes?" Sci-Twi was still curious how all these people knew her name without even introducing herself.

"Hey, girls, it's great to see you all again." Atticus smiled.

"Well, I'll be!" Applejack smirked to them. "You shoulda told us you all were comin'."

"Darlings, those glasses and clothes..." Rarity cringed slightly. "What are you wearing? It's so... Severe..."

"Our uniforms?" Sci-Twi replied like it was obvious.

"Your uniforms for what?" Fluttershy asked.

"Oh, right, none of you have been told," Atticus said. "Well, you see, me and Cherry got transferred to Crystal Prep."

"And I also attend Crystal Prep." Twilight told them.

"Oh..." the Humane Six realized now.

"But, why does everyone at this school know who we are?" Sci-Twi asked them.

Before her question could be answered, Rainbow Dash realized what school name they said. "Did you just say Crystal Prep?"

Before that question could be answered, Spike poked his head out of Sci-Twi's backpack and yipped. Patch also popped his head out of Atticus's backpack and was about to say hello to the girls, but just yipped because Sci-Twi was there.

"Spike and Patch!" the Humane Six happily announced.

"You know our dogs' names too?" Sci-Twi was really freaked out right now.

'Uh-Oh, this might be a little too confusing for her.' Atticus thought to himself.

Down the hallway were coming Principal Celestia and Principal Cinch.

"Twilight?" Principal Celestia noticed in shock and confusion.

"This is getting ridiculous." Sci-Twi groaned that even the faculty around here knew who she was.

'This is really getting confusing for her.' Atticus thought to himself.

"I must apologize for the curiosity of my prized student." Cinch came which startled Sci-Twi a moment.

"Your student?" Principal Celestia sounded insulted at first.

"The smart ones are always curious." Principal Cinch replied. "I'll return her and her colleague to check in with the rest of their classmates." She then walked off with both Sci-Twi and Atticus in her arms as they walked off together.

"I didn't know Twilight had a twin sister or that Atticus went to Crystal Prep." Principal Celestia spoke up.

"She doesn't!" Pinkie Pie spoke up, hyperactive as always. "That Twilight is obviously the Twilight from this world since it couldn't possibly be the Twilight from the pony world, since the Twilight from the pony world doesn't go to Crystal Prep or wear glasses and Atticus is just posing as a Crystal Prep student!"

Principal Celestia glanced at her from that rant, trying to think of a comeback, but that was too overwhelming for her. She was a grown woman and had no idea what Pinkie Pie just said, so she just walked off. "Never mind."

This was even overwhelming for the girls, now knowing that they might have to compete against Sci-Twi, Atticus, and Cherry in the Friendship Games.

"Maybe I should've stayed in Canterlot High and not become a Crystal Prep student..." Cherry said as she was still on the bench with Teller, he had his arm around her. "It's just so much to take in... I mean... Ugh, Teller, I'm sorry, you must be bored to death of my whining."

"Never... I could hear you talk for hours..." Teller attempted to flirt with her.

"I just feel so lost in this world sometimes..." Cherry pouted.

"I'm sure things will get better." Teller assured her.

Mo was seen entering the school still having her element of harmony with her. The students greeted Mo and she greeted them back.

"Ah, Mo." Teller greeted.

"Hi, Teller." Mo greeted back.

"What's that, Mo?" Cherry asked, noticing something the former street urchin had.

"It's my element," Mo replied. "The Element of Bravery. Don't you have your element?"

"I'm afraid Cherry's element was stolen from her." Teller informed.

"Oh, no, from the Shadow Man, right?" Mo asked worried.

"I'm afraid so." Teller nodded.

Cherry flinched and yelped.

"That's why, tonight, we're going to have a sleepover, I have a device that can take us to the Dreamscape all together." Teller continued.

"Dreamscape?" Mo asked.

"It's the dimension of dreams that only magical beings can access," Teller explained. "It's when we can all go together, but we all have to be asleep and hold the trinket before we fall asleep and go into each other's dreams like when Princess Luna feared that Nightmare Moon was returning."

"Oh, dear..." Mo said.

"I'm sorry, but it's the only solution I have right now." Teller said.

"What if we don't fall asleep?" Cherry asked.

"You will..." Teller looked her dead in the eyes. "Trust me... I will make sure you will."

"Let's just hope that the magic doesn't get unleashed." Mo said.

"Only time will tell." Teller replied.

Cherry nodded slowly.

"Well, I better get inside." Mo said.

Cherry and Teller let her go off. Mo nodded and walked inside, taking a deep breath, feeling more confident this time.

Principal Cinch talked with Sci-Twi and Atticus, then came over to Teller. "Well, Raymond, are you thinking of becoming a school teacher again in my Crystal Prep?"

'Her Crystal Prep?' Atticus thought to himself.

"The answer is still no, Principal Cinch," Teller glared at the woman, using all of his bravery. "I love my life as a Las Vegas magician."

'Wow, he sure isn't afraid to speak his mind to her.' Atticus thought to himself.

Principal Cinch glared to him sharply, then walked off once the discussion was over. Teller let out a small weak breath of relief and wiped his forehead.

"I better get out of the backpack and change into my human form." Patch whispered.

"Only if you want to." Atticus whispered back.

Sci-Twi stood by one of the Shadowcolt buses and saw her pendant flashing. She then picked it up in her hands and she walked off to the Canterlot High statue just as Sunset Shimmer past it with a book in her arms.

"Maybe there's another way I can reach her..." Sunset muttered to herself, and accidentally put her hand on the statue and it seemed to stick, making a flame like wave appear briefly that matched her hair.

Patch saw this and ran over to her and started to help her to try to get her hands off the portal/statue.

"Patch!?" Sunset asked in surprise once she tried to make the statue let go of her.

Sci-Twi's pendant had opened up and it was trying to take the energy magic waves off of Sunset. Sci-Twi closed the pendant and it made both girls fall flat on the ground.

"Sunset, are you okay?" Patch asked.

"I think so..." Sunset rubbed her head. "What just happened?"

"I don't know," Patch said before trying to touch the portal. "What the heck?!"

Sunset stood up and looked to Sci-Twi in instant worry. "What did you do!?"

Sci-Twi nervously stood up, cupping her pendant in her hand.

"Twilight, you and Atticus have to check in with the others." Dean Cadence warned.

"Yes, ma'am." Atticus said before they both went over to check in.

"Sunset, I can't find the portal!" Patch told her.

Sunset looked to the Dalmatian puppy and put her hands against the statue's stand, now unable to find the portal herself. "Where's the portal?" she gasped in anguish. "WHERE'S THE PORTAL!?"

"This can't be good." Patch said, feeling just as doomed as she did.

"We gotta tell the girls." Sunset said.

"Come on then!" Patch ran with Sunset.
