The cell phone started buzzing again on top of Sunset’s desk and after a few moments, it stopped. On the bed the blankets stir and roll over to the left side falling to the floor with a thump. Sunset grumbled wondering what time it was. She tries to get up her whole body is feeling strange as it was tingling all over. Pushing herself to stand up as a blanket slip off her in the dark and she slowly stumbled forward to the desk noticing a flashing led from her cell phone. Once she reaches the desk, she tried to pick up her phone only to have it slip and fall back into the desk. Getting annoyed, she tried again but was not able to get a grip, not sure what is going on she turned around trying to get her bearings in the dark.

Grumbling, she walked back still having a hard time keeping her balance. When she reached the wall next to the door, she tried find the light switch. Strange the light switch is higher than I remember. She thought and finally bumped the switch up which turned on the light. Blinking her eyes as they adjusted to the light, she looked in the mirror only to still see her pony reflection. Trying to walk forward again, she tripped on the blanks and landed with her front hooves.

What the? Sunset through and lifted up a front hoof to touch her face and then her horn. Blinking again, she looked in the mirror

This only happened once before on the farm, Maybe I can switch back again, think human. She tried to use her magic as her horn glowed and sparked a bit but nothing happened. Straining, she tried again, only to have the same result.

What am I going to do now? I can not go out like this. She started to feel panic and looked at her phone which was still flashing. Maybe the messages are important.

Sunset now had to use her magic to unplug the charger and bring the phone closer so she can see who called. The lock screen came up and she lifts her right hoof and tapped the screen which did not respond. Her flexible hoof nail was not going to work so she stuck out her tongue out ready to touch and then remembered a better way. Turning the phone upside down, she removed the stylus pen with her teeth and held the phone up with her magic as she slowly typed in her pin to unlocked it.

Missed call Pinkie Pie 10:48 pm
Missed call Twilight Sparkle 11:05 pm

Sorry Pinkie. She remembered looking sad and then checked again.

Now when did Princess Twilight get a cell phone? Thinking for a brief moment and then bonks herself on the head. “Ouch,” Sunset said almost dropping the pen, remembering that hooves are harder than hands. It must be Twilight from Crystal Prep. She though and checked her text messages.

[Sunset sorry I just got out of the shower. But I guess you are in bed. Hope we can talk again soon.] Pinkie Pie

[Sunset Shimmer this is Twilight, I need to talk with you tonight in the mirror. Please it very urgent.] Twilight Sparkle

She looked at the time stamp and it was 5 mins ago. “How can I go out like this?” Sunset said quietly, looking at the Unicorn from Equestria in the mirror.

After debating with herself, she decided to go. If Twi-Sci girl is messing with the mirror again, who knows what is going to happen this time. Maybe it has something to do with my change. She found her black overcoat with a hood that covered most of her body and hid her horn.

There is no way I am going to be able to walk all the way there on my back legs. Sunset thought and turn off the light in her room before opening the door. Carefully, she walked down the narrow stairs in the dark, obviously, it was not made for ponies as she almost slipped twice on the way down. Making it to the kitchen, she noticed that her hooves started clicking against the tiles so she slowed down to a snail's pace.

She opened the front door on the porch and Sunset poked her head out looking to the left and then the right. The street lights are on and cars are parked. The stars are visible in the night sky with a crescent moon facing east. The sidewalk is empty, no one in sight.

Looking good everyone is home or in bed. I better move quickly. Sunset thought and climbed down the concrete steps to the sidewalk as her hooves clicked with each step. Looking around one more time she bolted quickly heading left to the school. Her hooves clopping against the concrete sidewalk as she picked up speed.

A homeless man with a rough looking beard is sitting in the corner of a glass bus shelter sipping from his flask. He noticed a cloaked creature galloping down the sidewalk and looked closer to see mango colored legs with hooves and a red and yellow tail from its back side as it ran. He watched it heading away until it went out of sight. The man looked at his flask and blinked hard shaking his head.

“I really should try cutting back.” The man said with a hiccup.

Sunset looked ahead, noticing the school building was coming into view. Almost there. She thinks only to hear a loud voice which got her attention.

“Keep away!” A ladies voice yelled sounding nearby.

Sunset skidded to a stop, quickly breathing hard looking for the voice and saw the lady in a dress, high heels from across the street that she did not recognize and group of guys running up to her.

Run lady get out of there. Sunset mind screamed out as she stayed out of sight.

“Please take my purse and leave!” She whimpered offering her purse and was pushed to the ground.

“Thanks for the offer.” Thug one side, he had a mohawk and was dressed in dark clothes.

Snatching the purse from her, he laughed as he dumped the contents onto the sidewalk. Then picked up the wallet and opened it, pulling out some bills and tosses it away.

Thug two had dreadlocks and a nose ring. He was dressed in dark blue, but looked black in the night. He looks at the items on the ground. Lipstick, makeup, perfume, cell phone and some other objects. Then he spotted a cylinder object with a pointy end that was wrapped in plastic. Quickly he opened the package. The lady looked with tears, shaking her head. He looks at it with curiosity and twisted the bottom which causes it to vibrate.

“Check this out guys, we have a naughty girl,” Thug two said with a british accent and started making obscene gestures with the vibrator teasing the lady on the ground. “Let's find out what else she is hiding.” He pointed the vibrator against her breasts as another guy snuck up from behind.

Thug three who is a fat man with tattoos all over his arms, grabbed the lady from behind licked her neck. She screamed and cried out as he dragged her into a dark alleyway between two buildings. The other two guys followed laughing.

Sunset grinding her teeth looking from the shadows. She looked at the school and then to the dark alleyway only to hear the lady crying in the darkness.

Oh Celestia please help me be strong. Shaking as she slowly crossed the street and shook the hood off her head.

“HELP ME!” Her cries are getting muffled as they try to stuff a sock in her face.

“Shut the fuck up.” Thug one said as he pulled out a switchblade flashing it close to her face.

“We can do this the easy way or the hard way.” Thug three grinned evilly tearing her shirt open.

“Save some for me guys, It has been too bloody long since I had some.” Thug two said as he kept a lookout.

The lady whimpered as tears streamed from her eyes smearing her makeup. Not able to fight back as more of her clothes was torn away exposing her bra. As the lady cried more the sound of clopping is heard in the darkness. They stopped to look towards the sound. First, they saw a glowing yellow light on top of a large head. As it got closer they could make out two large blue eyes, a mango colored face, red, yellow mane with a large horn on the head which is glowing.

“LET HER GO!” it yelled moving closer as its hooves clicked against the ground.

“WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?” Thug two pointed as the creature with four legs approached. The horn on its head glowing bright yellow like the sun now. Two blue eyes looked at them with the flicker of fire inside..

“UNICORN! It’s a freakin mini unicorn!” Thug three backed up not sure if he should run or fight.

“It’s a trick there is no such thing.” Thug one pushed the lady aside and pointed his blade at the Sunset.

“I would not do that if I were you.” She said looking him as her horn glow changed to red.

“You don’t scare me you freak. I am going aaAAHhh HOT OUCH!” He yelled out as his switch blade started to glowing red hot and he dropped it on the ground. The blade handle started to bubble and melt until it ignited with a flame. He looked and stepped back.

The lady screamed as thug three grabbed her and pointing a gun at her head.

“Try anything and blow her brains out.” He said as his hand shaked holding the gun.

Sunset eye’s locked in on the guy and her horn color changed to yellow. The gun in his hand started glowing the same color as if something just grabbed hold of it.

“Fred, I can’t move the gun, it’s stuck or something.” He struggled and then gun clicked as the magazine fell out and landed on the ground. When he tried to reach down the magazine floated in the air and was tossed away, out of reach.

“I and done playing with you guys.” Sunset said trying to sound tough and looked to the right spotting empty trash cans.

The guy call Fred tried to charge her only to get whacked by steel trash can which knocked him out. One steel lid floated in the air and started spinning faster and faster as it moved towards the remaining two guys like a saw blade. They looked at each other and ran off into the alleyway disappearing into the darkness.

Sunset release her magic and the lid crashed to the ground. Lady sat on the ground next to a building and looked up clutching her ripped shirt as the unicorn approached.

“Do not be frightened, you are safe now.” Sunset said looking around and used her magic. The lady's purse floated in the air as all objects that fell out started floated and landing inside it. It then floated to the lady and she grabbed it from the air.

“Thank you, Who or what are you?” She said holding her purse over her ripped shirt now.

“I am the shimmer in the night I am... Scratch that, just pretend I don’t exist, please.” Sunset nosed the lady on her side urging her to get up and go.

She got the message and collected her things quickly running out of the alleyway and hopefully headed home.

Sunset pulled up her hoodie with her magic and started walking towards the exit only to have her tail grabbed. She quickly looked behind her to see a guy she knocked out holding her tail

“You're not getting away that easily you stupid horse.” He said starting to stand up only to get bucked hard sending him flying into remaining trash cans in the alleyway.

“Don’t ever call me that!” She yelled back, flicking her tail and headed to the school.

The man laid unconscious with one large hoof mark in his face and the other one in his shirt.

By the time Sunset got out of sight she fell back on her rear and held her sides trying to control her shaking. “I cannot believe I just did that.” She said to herself look up at the stars.

Twilight Sparkle the human had her meter out checking the readings from the mirror. She noticed that the pointer on the meter was moving up and down irregularly. Pulling out a pencil from the top of her right ear, she scribbled some notes down on a notepad. Adjusting her glasses she moved closer and noticed the cracks in the glass. Her fingers tracing along a crack not able to feel it.

“Step away from the mirror Twilight!” Sunset said from a shadow trying to hide her appearance.

“Sunset it’s not what it looks like, this meter does not absorb magic.” She stepped back quickly looking around trying to see her, but only able to make out two large blue eyes in the darkness.

“You promised that you would not mess with magic anymore and yet here you are again.” Sunset said not caring anymore about her appearance walked forward under one of the lamp posts. The light revealing her appearance.

“Oh my, now that is what I call being fully ponified.” exclaimed Twilight as she walked around her looking at her features.

“Ha ha very funny, this is the real me, well at least it was in Equestria,” grumbled Sunset and used her magic to remove the overcoat putting on the ground next to her.

Twilight could not resist to touch her and brushed her fur with her fingers.

Sunset looked annoyed and walked away from her touch. “So what did you want to talk about?” She asked and looked at the mirror noticing the new cracks.

“This is all my fault Sunset,” Twilight pulled her hood over her head and looked away from Sunset. “My experiment almost cause are worlds to merge and now the mirror is cracking because of it.” She said looking down at her feet.

“I am not so sure about that, the cracks only started recently. Perhaps all the magical events over time have caused it to weaken.” Sunset said, looking at the mirror, wonder if it will still work when the moon reached the 30th cycle.

“Also, before I met you and the other girls, Adagio Dazzle was my friend. or I thought she was, s, sh, she asked me to make something for her and her friends.” She stuttered nervously.

Sunset walked in found of her and sat down looking at her. “What did you make?” She asked already guessing.

“She brought me a large green gem and wanted me to split it into 3 pieces, one for her and the other two for her friends. I made a bracelet to hold each gem.” Twilight said, looking at Sunset big blue eyes.

“That explains a lot, did you learn anything about the gem?” She decided to ask instead of yelling.

“I still do not know much about Equestria magic. But this gem allows the user to change appearance. Adagio tricked me, she was Flash and he…” Twilight grabbed the unicorn by her large neck and started crying in her fur.

Sunset did not fully understand what happened, but was sure it was bad. She reared herself up and put her hooves around Twilight. The meter in her jacket started clicking loudly and Twilight rubbed the tears from her face and pulled out her meter as she let go of Sunset. The meter pointer was going wild flicking from side to side.

Mirror started glowing and there was something strange about it as the glow changed to a green color. There was two green eyes looked at them through the mirror. Which caused Sunset to stumble back away from the mirror in surprise. The image cleared now showing Queen Chrysalis looking at her. It took only a few seconds for Sunset to recognize who it was. Memories of her from the castle returned and she became very anger.

“All this is your fault!” Sunset yelled as her form has changed again with a flash into a unicorn now with wings of fire which burned the overcoat that was on the ground.

“My, my you have quite the temper child, putting all this blame on little old me, if I remember things correctly, you are the one who broke into the vault and stole my gem away from Celestia.” Chrysalis said with a grin showing her fangs.

“You tricked me into betraying Celestia.” Sunset’s wings spread open, causing the surrounding area to heat up.

Twilight stepped back to a safer distance away from the heat as her meter cracked and smoked from a magic overload.

“Oh please, that was your choice, you didn’t trust her and was jealous of Twilight Sparkle, I offered you a chance to become stronger,” Chrysalis image started to fade out to only green eyes. “If you change your mind you know where to find me.” She laughs as he voice faded away into the darkness.

Sunset considered striking the mirror, but that would cut her off from Equestria for good. She closed her eyes, breathing slowly to calm herself follow the instructions from the Dojo. Her body started glowing as that familiar tingle returned and in flash Sunset human form was restored. She fell on her knees, holding herself up by the arm shaking.

“Not sure what happened, but I am back, I am cold, and I am,” She looked as she noticed that she only had her bra and underwear on. “Almost naked!” Sunset said sitting up covering her front with her arms.

Twilight removed her coat ran up and cover Sunset with it. “Maybe I can help you control that,” She said and looked at her broken meter, then scribbled some notes on a pad. “Was she talking about me?” Twilight asked Sunset who slow getting back on her feet.

“No other other Twilight from my world, I need to get the gems back before I return to Equestria, can you help me?” She looked at her friend.

“Of course, but I may have to break my promise,” Twilight said looking at her meter.

“I will allow it, just don’t go all crazy again.” Sunset said ready to head home and looked in the mirror one more time.
