Equestria Girls: Starlight's Story

[Scene 3: Welcome to Crystal Prep]

[EXT. Crystal Prep Academy-Front lawn-The City-Morning]

[Starlight walks up the stairs and stops at the top to look up at the school once more. Takes another breath, and walks through the door.]

[INT. Crystal Prep Academy-Main foyer]

[Starlight walks in and sees the other students walking around, mingling; wearing their usual dark purple school uniforms. She starts taking in the atmosphere when she gets bumped and shoved by passing by students.]

Starlight Glimmer: Oof…pardon me…ah…excuse me…could be a little more caref-? ...ow…hey, watch where you're go-…oh…hey, you did that on purpose…WHOA!

[She gets knocked down by another new student, Blueblood. His skin is chalk-white with light blue eyes and well-groomed golden locks. He wears the usual male uniform, neatly, with the exception of a white dickie with gold buttons and a blue bowtie.]

Blueblood: [scoff] Some people.

[He leaves Starlight with an angry expression on her face. She then reaches for a small pouch on her backpack, until…]

Dean Cadance: Excuse me, miss. Hello there.

[Dean Cadance approaches from down the stairs, as Starlight cease reaching for the pouch and gets back up.]

Dean Cadance: So you're the new student we'll be having today. Welcome to Crystal Prep. I'm Dean Cadance, it's a pleasure to have you here with us. Principal Cinch has been expecting you for quite some time.

Starlight Glimmer: Well, I sure-wait, I'm expected?

Dean Cadance: Of course. She's spoken so highly about you. She will be pleased to meet you in person. Now please, walk this way.

[Starlight gets confused at first, and decides to follow Cadance up the stairs.]

[INT. Crystal Prep Academy-Principal Cinch's office]

[Principal Cinch looks at the file of Starlight, until she hears her office door opening and had to put it away in her desk drawer. Cadance enters with Starlight, and Cinch looks upon them with such delight.]

Principal Cinch: Ah! Miss Starlight Glimmer, I presume?

Starlight Glimmer: Yes?

Principal Cinch: Splendid. We are so lucky to have you here with us. My name is Abacus Cinch, headmistress of this academy.

Starlight Glimmer: Well, I am so pleased to meet you.

Principal Cinch: Not as much as I. [To Dean Cadance] That'll be all, Cadance.

[Cadance nods her head and leaves the office, closing the door behind her.]

Principal Cinch: Please, have a seat.

[Starlight walks up to her desk and sits down on the seat in front of it.]

Principal Cinch: I must say, it truly is a privilege to have you at this school.

Starlight Glimmer: It is?

Principal Cinch: But of course. We at Crystal Prep take such pride in education and reputation. Our goal is to make our students the best there is in life. And we hope that your contribution from your brilliant mind will be the greatest this school has to offer.

Starlight Glimmer [tries to hide her disapproval]: Well, I'm sure looking forward to get started.

Principal Cinch: I'd thought you would. Your record did say you are most eager to participate.

Starlight Glimmer [surprised]: My…record?

[Principal Cinch pulls Starlight's file out of the drawer.]

Principal Cinch: Why yes. I have been reviewing your accomplishments.

Starlight Glimmer: Oh. So you studied up on me, huh?

Principal Cinch: And I must say, I found the most impressive claim I have ever come across.

Starlight Glimmer [confused]: It is?

Principal Cinch: Straight-A student with an adept display of ingenuity. Gracefully accustom to advance studies, excellent dedication to any given assignment, and an exquisite talent in scientific development. Now that is what I like to see in a Crystal Prep Shadowbolt.

Starlight Glimmer: Is that it?

Principal Cinch: Yes. Why?

Starlight Glimmer [curious]: Can I take a look at that?

Principal Cinch: Sure.

[Cinch gives Starlight the file. She looks at the contents with surprise and utter confusion. Cinch gets concerned about Starlight's reaction.]

Principal Cinch: Is something wrong?

[After hearing Cinch, Starlight quickly shakes off her doubting expressions and pretends to be calm.]

Starlight Glimmer: No. Nothing is wrong at all. Hm. Looks like everything's there. [Gives Cinch back her file] I'm sure to do my "best" during my stay here, and I'm sure my efforts will surprise everybody.

Principal Cinch: Indeed. We will be expecting great things from you.

Starlight Glimmer: Well I can't wait to get started, and I am so looking forward to meeting everyone.

[Cinch gives a bit of a scowl for a split second.]

Principal Cinch: Yes, well. [Gets up from her seat] Now that we've gotten courtesies out of the way, allow me to personally give you a tour of campus so you can get well adjusted to your way around.

Starlight Glimmer: [hesitates at first] Sure.

Principal Cinch: Splendid. This way.

[Starlight pushes against the edge of the desk in order to scoot out of her chair. Unknown to Cinch, Starlight stealthily plants a very small disk-like device with a blinking red light at the bottom of the desk edge. Then she casually walks out the office with Cinch.]

[INT. Crystal Prep Academy-Hallway]

[Starlight walks down the hall with Cinch showing her the different rooms of the school.]

Principal Cinch: …And over her, we have a marvelous science lab, which I know would be to your liking.

Starlight Glimmer: I sure hope so. [Notices the other students staring at her and Cinch] I wonder what got them in such a mood.

Principal Cinch: Pay no mind to them. Here, you will succeed, a privilege that they can never dream of.

[Coming up around a corner, Sunny Flare appears and accidently bumps into Starlight.]

Sunny Flare: Oh, sorry.

Starlight Glimmer: That's alright.

Principal Cinch: Shall we carry on?

Starlight Glimmer: Yes, we shall.

[Sunny Flare watches them leave in disbelief, as Sugarcoat shows up from behind.]

Sunny Flare: Look at her. Hasn't been here for more than an hour, and Cinch already has the new girl eating out of her hand.

Sugarcoat: Such foolishness. If only Twilight was a better judge of character.

[Starlight overhears the girls, and gets curious when she heard the name "Twilight".]

[INT. Crystal Prep Academy-Gymnasium]

[Starlight and Cinch come into the school's gymnasium. The gym is massive with a large basketball court, as expected of any gym; made up of four aqua blue walls with its crystal frame features, two-level blue bleachers, and a light purple hardwood floor.]

Principal Cinch: And this is our gymnasium, where most of our athletic events take place.

[Starlight then notices something that causes her to stray away from Cinch.]

Principal Cinch: As you see, we house the best sports equipment to hone our students physical attributes in order to strive in achieving what the world has to off- [Just realized Starlight went off.]

[Starlight stands in front of a trophy case with all forms of cups and medals. She looks in disgust to see the pictures of the Shadowbolts winning over their rivals, the Wondercolts. She hides her disdain when Cinch approaches.]

Principal Cinch: Ah, I see you've taken interest in the many accomplishments our students have rightfully earned over the years. As you can see, we always win.

Starlight Glimmer [muttering]: "Interest" seems like a very strong word.

Principal Cinch: These were awarded to us after we triumphed over our archrivals, the Canter—

Starlight Gimmer: The Canterlot High School Wondercolts.

[Cinch is surprised to hear that name is familiar to Starlight.]

Principal Cinch: So you've heard of them. How efficient. Well, these over here are what we earned in a special event we held with Canterlot High every four years,-

Starlight Glimmer: The Friendship Games.

[Cinch is once again surprised.]

Principal Cinch: So you've heard of that too. What else have you heard?

Starlight Glimmer: That you ended in a tie. So what happened?

[The two just stand there, staring at each other in silent for a moment.]

Principal Cinch: That concludes our tour.

[Cinch walks away, leaving Starlight even more curious. Then she notices a picture of the Shadowbolt team for the Friendship Games. While everyone looks all serious, there's one purple girl with glasses smiling. Starlight ponders on why this girl seems different from the others. Cinch walks up to a nearby bench with a box waiting for her on it. She picks it up and gives it to Starlight.]

Principal Cinch: There you go. Your uniform is inside, along with your class schedule and basic information; such as locker combination, library card, and website account. You can change in the girl's locker room over there. Now, I am confident you will find Crystal Prep to be the pinnacle of all your life's work. We will be expecting a lot from you. So please, don't let me down.

Starlight Glimmer [smiling]: Don't worry. I'll get right on it.

Principal Cinch: Very well. I'll leave you to it then. I wish you the best of luck, and Welcome to Crystal Prep.

[Cinch leaves the gym. When she's gone, Starlight gets rid of her smile, and changes into an expression of a scornful discomfort.]

Starlight Glimmer: UGH! "Great things", medals, "accomplishments". This school is seriously in need of more help than I thought. And that principal…[grunts]…what a total windbag. No wonder everyone here is so miserable.

[She opens the box, and looks at the uniform with a sinister smile.]

Starlight Glimmer: Okay, Cinch. I'll play along, for now.

[A few minutes later…Starlight walks out of the girl's locker room in her new uniform. It's the standard female uniform with the dark purple coat, light blue undershirt, dark blue bowtie, purple plaid bubble skirt, dark blue lace socks, and black slip on shoes with blue trim and a little shield on it. What's unique about hers is the coat is a vest (twice as big as Sour Sweet's), the undershirt has long sleeves with short cuffs, she's wearing dark blue spandex carpi pants under her skirt (like Sugarcoat), and the shields on her shoes are half light blue and half dark blue.]

Starlight Glimmer: Hmm, this needs something.

[She then goes into her backpack and pulls out a pin in the shape of a black equal sign. Then she pins it on the left side of her chest of her coat.]

Starlight Glimmer: Much better.

[INT. Crystal Prep Academy-Hallway]

[Starlight puts her things into her new locker, while looking at her schedule.]

Starlight Gimmer: Okay, my first class is…"Machine Shop"? They have that here?

[The bells rings and Starlight is once again being bumped and shoved by oncoming students. This makes Starlight most irritated.]

Starlight Glimmer: Okay, that tears it!

[She reaches for the pouch of her backpack again, and pulls out a strange-looking metal ring. Its features illustrates the ring was built with minor technology. She slams her locker shut and puts the ring on. But then she gets knocked down once again by Blueblood.]

Blueblood: Oh, you again. You should probably learn some manners and stay out of people's way.

[Starlight becomes extremely angry. She presses the switches on the rings and two metal rods pop out with an electrical current running between them. Starlight then swiftly goes to Blueblood and slaps her hand with the ring onto his back. The snobbish student shouts in pain as Starlight's Taser ring zaps his body. The surrounding students hear the shouts and notice Starlight assaulting Blueblood. He falls to the floor, groaning in pain, with Starlight hovering over him.]

Starlight Glimmer: Aw, did that hurt?

Blueblood: [groaning]

Starlight Glimmer: Good! [She press the Taser ring on his back again] Maybe you should learn some manners!

[Jet Set sees the commotion, and approaches Starlight in an attempt to stop it.]

Jet Set: Now see here! You can do—

[Starlight quickly turns and presses the ring against Jet Set's shoulder. He falls to the floor in pain, and Starlight looks franticly around at the frightened crowd, pointing her Taser ring at them to prevent them from coming near.]

Starlight Glimmer [angrily]: Anyone else? Huh? HUH!?

[The crowd stays back in fear and didn't mutter a word. After a moment, Starlight finally calms down and presses the switches on the ring to put the Taser rods back in.]

Starlight Glimmer [cheerfully]: Well. If you all excuse me, I got to get to class.

[Starlight starts walking, only to be stopped by Upper Crest standing in her way. Afraid of getting zapped like her boyfriends, she steps aside.]

Upper Crest: Oh go on ahead. After you.

Starlight Gimmer: Now that's more like it. I am so looking forward to getting to know every single one of you.

[Starlight resumes walking towards class, leaving the scared crowd with a sinister smile on her face.]
