Equestria Girl. Wait, What's Equestria?
Chapter 38: Thursday Part 9.2 - Back on Track (Mid Season Finale)
Previous Chapter Next Chapter“And… that’s everything?” Velvet asked. The two had moved from just outside of the kitchen and have taken a seat next to one another on the main lounge of the living room for nearly an hour ago now.
“Mhmm.” Twilight replied to her mother. She’d told her everything. From the normal to the crazy. Everything that had happened on Monday on her first day at this new school all the way up until now. Though mostly about Monday. And Twilight prayed to Spongebob that her mother would believe her.
“Well that would explain the Aurora Borealis that happened last year.”
“You believe me? You don’t think I’m crazy?” Twilight asked. “If I was told that story I’d think I was crazy!’ Twilight said, near the brink of tears. “I’d think I was a big fat li-”
She was cut off by her mother hugging her. “It’s alright Twilight. You’re not crazy… we had you tested.” Twilight accepted the hug and chuckled at her mother’s joke. Unless that weekend they’d spent in Manehatten when she was younger with the guy who asked her all those questions wasn’t actually a holiday… no it was a joke. “Just, why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
“I, I didn’t want to disappoint you. You bought me a car to get there. You were so proud I was suggested a higher rated school as a senior. And… I don’t know. I was scared you’d say no.” Twilight finished, finally realising a few tears as she returned her mother's hug.
“There’s nothing to be scared of dear.” Velvet told her daughter as she began to release her hug. The two drifted apart but Velvet kept her hand on Twilight’s shoulder. “Where’s that paperwork? I’ll sign it for you. I’ll even take it into the school myself if its to much for you.” she offered.
“Thank you mom. But, It’s fine. I mean, I’ve been there three days since.” Twilight replied. She had been planning to follow it up with ‘ And nothing bad’s happened.’ but that wasn’t exactly true. But despite how comfortable she was towards her mother, she didn't want to admit she was terrified to go back. Twilight stood up and walked over to her bag. She opened the front zipper, retrieved the note and rezipped her backpack. Returning to the couch she handed the folded letter to her mother and said “I don’t think I’ll be going to school tomorrow. That’s okay right?”
“It’s fine dear. It’s fine.” her mother replied. “I’ll fill this out with your father tonight.” After that the two of them stayed silent for nearly a minute, maybe more. “Oh, that’s right. Aren’t you curious as to why I was looking through your bank account?”
“Um… should I be?” Twilight answered/questioned. It was her parent’s money after all and her being able to use it was only half the reason it was in her name. The other half was a tax dodge.
“That Silverspoon girl. I’d bet my left nut that she’s the reason you wanted to bring your phone to school right?” Velvet asked and attributed Twilight’s cringing to how she’d phrased the question rather than anything else phone-stealing like.
Twilight had neglected to mention that whole getting her phone stolen and from what little she remembered of the incident, that the jerk-bully had taken because she thought Twilight had been filming her… or something. Up until now it hadn’t seemed prudent to mention. And still wasn’t entirely. “Well, yeah. She and I have actually become good friends.” Twilight answered happily. Sil was one of the only good things about the school. And probably something she’d miss about it too. Even if they had had a conversation about being forgotten if she did leave.
Velvet was beside herself at the news. That Twilight had actually called of of her friends a ‘friend’ and not an ‘air quotes friend’. “Well good news then!” Velvet said cheerfully as she went over to the counter she’d been behind when Twilight came down stairs. "I was going through your bank account to see if we had enough. And you had more than enough! But enough about what's now called my 'new shoes fund', I got you this.” Velvet said as she presented Twilight her present.
Needlessly, but thoughtfully, gift wrapped complete with a neat little bow on top was a small box. Twilight eyed it for a moment before she gently began to unwra- she tore the thing to pieces. Low and behold… “An iFruit 6S?!”
“Look at the back” her mother told. Twilight flipped the phone over. Not only was it a 6S, it was a gold one with a black bottom. “It’s a Tower of Pimps edition. I had to sign the company's Free Edgor petition to get it but it was worth it!” Velvet laughed, happily getting a smile to return to her daughter’s face after all they’d spoken about. “That old hand-me-down you got from Shining Armour was ancient. Now, even if you do leave that school you can stay in touch with her properly. And any other friends you made. Did you make any others?”
“Well, sort of.” stated Twilight. “I met a few other people and two of them I guess could be called… “Twilight raised her hands, pointed to index and middle fingers up and curled them twice in a row as she continued “‘friends’.”
“That’s great news.” Velvet said trying to hide her disappointment that the other two were no more to her daughter than any of her other ‘air quote friends’ had been. But she’d been pushing her luck to expect otherwise. But still. One real friend was one more than she had at her old school aside from her brother and that made Velvet gladder than anything Twilight had ever said or done before. Trying to hide a tear, she told her daughter “Alright, you can thank me by going up to your room and twittering about your new phone to your friends on facebook.” she said using two completely outdated sites that no one used anymore. Moms... amirite? “I’ve got to finish cooking dinner before your father gets home. He is going to be PISSED about walking Spike.”
Twilight chuckled. She never did understand why her father was scared of such a cute fluffy little jiant pitbull. Oh well, he’s just weird that way she figured. “Thanks mom.” she said before heading towards the stairs. Half way up them though a thought occurred to her. “Hey mom, what’s my new phone’s number?”
“Oh don’t worry about that dear. It’s the same number. The phone’s unlocked so just take the simcard out of your old phone and you’ll be fine.”
Next Chapter: Friday Estimated time remaining: 2 HoursAuthor's Notes:
Welp, her parents finally know and despite Velvet's good intentions, has put Twilight in yet another crazy zaney sitcom-esk situations *camera zooming in and out on Twilights while spinning and The Price Is Right fail music plays alogn with canned laughter*
But seriously, the story is going on Hiatus for a while while I catch up on writing. I know what happens tomorrow night at this point but I don't know what happens tomorrow during the day. Well, other than the Gilda scene but I don't know what happens in her classes, I know she runs into Brad ocne because she misses form again and he asks what happened but I don't know what happens there. And I don't know how RD deals with her team going caput and how or why Zecora will help seems she's involved in Twilight and RD's class meet up.
This works as both a teaser and an insight because all of these things ARE going to happen but I'm not entirely sure how.
Now, obviously she'll see Sil, DT and Trixie at some point seems they're her friends now which is all but one of the major characters [she also has History which has Rarity and Sunset in that class] she's going to meet on Friday... day. Frinight... Fluttershy's 'odd' relationship with Discord will be revealed! And a completely new character [who is canon and it makes sense] will be revealed!
So stay tuned for the next exciting episode of Dragon ball Z! I mean uh... Equestria Girl. Wait, What's Equestria? coming May 3rd! [hopefully]
