Chapter 1: Messages and surprises

In Equestria (After the events of "The Cutie Re-Mark"), Twilight and her friends made peace with Starlight Glimmer. Very sorry for her actions, she apologized to those of "Our Town" and celebrated the new friendship that she won (The Song of the season 5 finale).

After that, Twilight invited her back to the castle and began to talk about what she planned to do.

Twilight: Starlight, It will not be a problem that you can learn things about friendship.

Starlight: I hope so. I mean, since Sunburst left, I didn't really have a true friend.

Then, Twilight's friends entered.

Applejack: Well, now you have.

Pinkie Pie: Oh! I look forward to talking to you about what we are going to do! First a welcome party! Then a friendship party! Then a post-party! Then…!

Rainbow Dash: Pinkie, I think she get it.

Rarity approached Starlight

Rarity: I must say it is a good opportunity for you to share with us all what you want, darling. Besides (she focused on her mane) I know a look that will be beautiful for you.

Starlight: Ah, thanks Rarity?

Fluttershy: I'm sure you will understand friendship better than before (whispering) although scares me a bit if you fail.

Then, Spike appeared.

Spike: Although I do not like what you did with time travel, you sure will understand friendship.

Starlight (smiling): Thank you all.

Finally, came the Princesses Celestia and Luna

All: Princess Celestia! Princess Luna!

They knelt when they saw them and then rose.

Princess Celestia: Hello everypony. Twilight told me about you, Starlight Glimmer.

Starlight (embarrassed): Oh my… Princess, I'm ... sorry. I was so upset and hurt that I didn't realize that the things I've done would have a counter attack that could be horrible.

Princess Celestia: Don't worry Starlight. Twilight also told me that she wants to teach you all about friendship, which I agree with that.

Starlight: Really?

Princess Luna: If anyone can do it, it's her.

Starlight (kneeling): Thank you princesses.

Pinkie Pie: This calls for a celebration!

Out of nowhere, she pulled confetti, a huge cake and a disguise of her with big head

Starlight: Hey, where did she get all that?

Rainbow Dash: I stop asking that long ago.

All seemed quiet until Spike noticed a glow on the library shelf.

Spike: Hey Twilight, one of your books is shining and with great intensity.

Twilight, with her horn, approached the book to her.

Twilight: It's Sunset Shimmer's book.

Starlight: Who is Sunset Shimmer?

Princess Celestia: My former student before Twilight. She had fallen into the darkness but thanks to Twilight, she saw the light again.

Applejack: What does it say?

Twilight: Oh my, while I was traveling through time, she wrote me: "How's everything in Equestria?"... "Magic might be changing" ... "newbie in friendship". It seems that my friends from Canterlot High have adapted their magic so now they don't need to play music, I have to help her with this issue.

Fluttershy: Will you go back to the alternate world?

Twilight: Yes, Sunset needs my help to solve this problem.

Starlight: I thought we'd start a lesson.

Twilight: I know Starlight, but Sunset and my friends from there need me, I have to go. I will return when I finished it.

Applejack: Easy Starlight, we can give you a tour through the castle.

Pinkie Pie: We can go to Sugar Cube Corner after!

Starlight: Okay.

Spike: Twilight I also go with you, but first, I will show Starlight where she is going to stay.

Twilight: Ok Spike, we will meet in front of the statue. Sunset, do not worry, I'll help you.

Princess Celestia: Twilight, wait a second.

Twilight: What's wrong princess?

Princess Celestia: I would like if you could give a message to Sunset from me.

Twilight: Of course.

She whispered and Twilight nodded

Twilight: Don't worry, princess, I will tell her.

Princess Celestia: Thanks Twilight.

Twilight galloped as fast as she could to reach the room where the portal was. She put the book up in the middle of the machine and the magic that was emanating from the book activated the portal. Twilight passed the portal and after a round trip: she get to Canterlot High. With no time to say hello, she began to speak.

Twilight: I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner! I didn't get your messages until just now because I was caught in this time-travel loop, and honestly, it was the strangest thing that has ever happened to me.

She finished speaking and was surprised. Not only for her friends, but because in front of her…was her. A version with glasses and tied hair, wore a uniform and had a dog like Spike, who just smiled at her. Her doppelganger just waved her hand uncomfortably, as the girls were just surprised, except Sunset.

Twilight blinked to make sure it was not an illusion, it was not.

Twilight: Make that the second strangest.

(Note: Now the pony Twilight is P Twilight and human is H Twilight)

Sunset Shimmer: Princess Twilight Sparkle meet Twilight Sparkle; Twilight Sparkle, Princess Twilight Sparkle.

The 2 Twilights came close for tests themselves. P Twilight moved her right arm, H Twilight the left, then shook their heads in the same direction. P Twilight held her hair, H Twilight down hers and handed P Twilight her glasses. They changed and they realized it was the same, P Twilight handed his glasses back to H Twilight.

P Twilight: Well….hi

H Twilight: Hi ... me. I think this explain a lot.

P Twilight: Of what?

H Twilight: Why everyone in the school confused me with you.

P Twilight: So the "twin sister", I guess.

Then came Spike (Spike dragon is D and the dog is P Spike because of "perro" in Spanish)

D Spike: Twilight, sorry I'm late. Starlight is not yet fit...

He was surprised to see two Twilights, he was perplexed even more with….

P Spike: Oh my.

Now both Spikes saw each other, did the same as the Twilights, but instead of being uncomfortable, they smiled.

Both Spikes: Well, we are good looking.

They laughed.

Both Spikes: Hey, I said the same thing.

They were upset

Both Spikes: Very good, that's enough.

They get really annoyed

Both Spikes: Stop copying me. Enough!

Both Twilights looked angry to them.

Both Twilights: Spike!

They were surprised to say the same thing of wonder and mouth stoppered. It was when her friends decided to break the silence.

Applejack: Well, I think that it will no longer confusion of who is who.

Rainbow Dash: I wonder if my other me will be as great as I.

Rarity: Oh wow, 2 Twilights, I will have to make new dresses for each one, I guess it will not be a problem.

Pinkie Pie: Oh, what a thrill! 2 Twilights! 2 Spikes! 4 times of fun.

Fluttershy: Especially to share moments with these adorable Spikes.

Sunset Shimmer: This will be very interesting and educational for everyone.

P Twilight Sunset remembered what asked.

P Twilight: Oh yes, Sunset. Explain me about the magic. Perhaps it is different...

Sunset Shimmer: In fact, I solved it. We pony up when we release our true self. We no longer need to play all the time for that.

P Twilight: Oh, good. This was ... interesting.

That they heard the voice of the Principal Celestia.

Principal Celestia: Attention, students, we have an important announcement about the tour of Canterlot High. Please report to the gym.

Rainbow Dash: The tour. We are going to know where exactly we are going.

Applejack: Let's go.

P Twilight: Well girls, if there is no something more, I will return to Equestria.

H Twilight: Wait me, I mean princess, I wish you could stay for a while to talk about magic. I was investigated it for some time and as my experience with it was not pleasant, I would like you to explain me about it.

P Twilight: Oh, no problem. I can tell you everything you need.

H Twilight: Also, there is a boy who confused me thinking that I was you when I arrived.

P Twilight (blushing): Flash Sentry!

Her friends put picaresque faces

P Twilight (embarrassed and coughing): Well… we have to make clear the twin problem.

Applejack: C'mon girls.

All went (H Twilight put P Spike in her backpack), but P Twilight stopped Sunset for a while.

P Twilight: Wait, Sunset. There's something I have to tell you.

Sunset Shimmer: What is it Twilight?

P Twilight: It is a message from Princess Celestia for you.

Sunset Shimmer (sad): Oh, well. I understand if she don't want me to return to Equestria. I didn't not appreciate what she taught in my last days, I apart her and because of that, I don't deserve to return.

P Twilight: That's not, Sunset. Princess Celestia told me she's proud of you.

Sunset's eyes brightened

Sunset Shimmer: Really?

P Twilight: Yes, I told her all about of your actions and help against the sirens. She is proud of the pony that you've become, what she expected you to become. She still believes in you and hopes that one day you come back when you feel ready. Equestria's doors, Canterlot's and her castle's will always be open for you.

It seemed that Sunset was going to mourn. Even after all, her mentor still believed in her and cared for her. She felt that the light she had gone out by herself in her heart became ignite once again.

Sunset Shimmer: Thanks Twilight, it is the most beautiful gift you've given me. You cannot imagine how much I thank you.

She hugged her and then continued (along with D Spike) his way to the entrance of the school Canterlot.
