Why is Fluttershy So Shy?
Chapter 20: Chapter Twenty. Twilight's Back!?
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAnon and Sunset went all over the Library searching books from science to Myth and nothing was showing up anywhere. Seeing as they were running up dry with the books, Anon turn his attention to the computers and began to search up anything to do with Magic. Sunset looked over the books once hoping she may of just missed or overlooked important information. But there was still nothing this world had no magic, well no magic that she was looking for, Sunset thought whilst looking at Anon. With no other option Sunset pulled out her own personal book out and began to write to Twilight, calling her back as she was out of idea's and needed help.
Sunset dropped the pen sighing as she dropped her head in her book. She was tired and Afraid, the stress of everyone looking to her for the answers of calm the magic down was daunting and she didn't know if she could cope with the pressure. Sunset Suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder causing her to look up seeing Anon, smiling brightly back at her.
"Come on, where not getting anywhere with this. and your only making your self worse by stressing out." Anon said while grabbing her book and putting in her bag before handing the bag over.
"Where are we going?" Sunset asks confused yet excited.
"We're going to get Coffee and im paying." Anon smiled.
It was infectious smile that Sunset couldn't help but catch. "What about the others. what if they need us?"
"Im sure they can manage without us for a few minutes. Now come." Anon led Sunset by the hand as they left library and snuck pass Principle Celestia's office, before heading out of the front doors of the school.
"I cant believe we've snuck out of school." Sunset said amazed she went through with it. She had done bad things before, sure. but since turning her back on her previous life, Sunset had stayed strictly with the School's rules. This had been a long time coming for her and felt good to be doing something bad again, even if it was small.
"Don't worry, we'll be back before they even notice we had left. We don't want to miss out on the arrival of Chrystal Prep now do we." Anon replied with little enthusiasm.
Walking into town Sunset and Anon spoke intensely about Rainbow's pony up. Since Anon wasn't from Equestria, he tried to keep up with as much technical speak as possible. In some parts Anon would get completely lost and he would nod as if understood. But then Sunset asked for his opinion And it was this moment Anon Knew he had fucked up. As Anon searched for a reply, his eyes went every where else but Sunset searching for response. But as he looked around Anon noticed a homeless man under the bridge in front of them. He was curled up in old news paper wearing old ragged and tattered clothing with no shoes. Anon knew he had to do something
"Hold that thought, come with me." He said as they raced off to the supermarket, buying a tent, pillows, sleeping bag, some clothes, food and bottles of different drinks. Having had bagged all the shopping he handed the bags over to sunset. "Here could you hold these for minute."
Taking the bags off Anon, Sunset was confused with what he was doing. "What are we doing? I thought we were going to get coffee?
"We will, but first." Anon enter the a shoe shop and brought the most comfy trainers he could find in an average size. It was then that Anon entered a burger bar buying the most expensive food on the menu, they before finally headed into the café. Anon brought one large hot chocolate and took all of the other stuff he brought and headed back to where the homeless man was sleeping he placed them all by him. Anon smiled at the help he could give, But suddenly he began to lift off the ground. Sunset watched in awe as she watched Anon glow as he pony up. "Sunset I think we have a problem."
After coffee and long debate Anon and Sunset Snuck back into the school, heading straight for the music room where their friends were waiting. Entering the music, the pair were met with disapproving eyes. "Where we're you two?" Rarity asks " We've been waiting for a while, not even Pinkie could find you?"
"And I looked everywhere!!!" Pinkie announce randomly appearing from behind them making both of them jump.
"Sorry, we were getting nowhere in the library and Sunset was getting stressed. So I decided we sneaked out and get a coffee to calm down and clear our heads." Anon explained before smiling widely. "Something amazing happened!"
It was then that Sunset and Anon began to tell others about Anon's pony up. "Well that was mighty kind of ya partner." Applejacks said, crossing her arms.
Fluttershy carefully hurried over hugging Anon tightly. "Im so proud of you."
"Im guessing by Anon's pony up, you haven't figured out how to control the magic inside us?" Rainbow asks as she crosses her arms.
This made Sunset frown a slightly as she rubbed the back of her neck nervously. "No, not yet. But I think im starting to understand how it works. well kinda… Maybe."
Rarity walked over to sunset placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Well that some progress at least darling." Sunset reluctantly nods at that and smiles ever so slightly. "Now, Since you are both here, we can finally get on with it."
"Get on with what exactly?" Anon asks a little worried knowing what Rarity is like.
Before Rarity answered Anon's question, she ran of the class bring back clothing racks after clothing rack filled with different shirts, robes, dresses and other clothing assortments. "FASHION!!! Anon fashion."
"Okay then..." Anon replied nodding his head, a slight bit overwhelmed by all the clothing.
"Let's start darlings!"
Half an hour they had all tried on serval different outfits for all sort of different activities, rock climbing, hockey, deep sea diving and even welding. Rarity was bouncing from friend to friend sorting out their outfits tweaking it here and there trying to get it absolutely perfect. "Er Rarity these outfits are great in all but why would you put so much time into outfits we might not even wear? your gonna exhaust your self out before the games even start." Applejack spoke worrying about her crush not wanting her to push her self to much.
Rarity waved Applejack off. "Pish posh, don't be silly darling. PUTTING EFORT INTO CLOTHES IS WHAT I LIVE FOR! AND PUTTING TIME ON MY FRIENDS FILLS ME WITH ME ENEGRY!" That was enough to cause Rarity to pony up just like Rainbow and Anon did.
They all stood around smiling in awe as Rarity pony up. well all except for Sunset "And magic apparently."
Suddenly from out of nowhere looked as if the magic drained its self from Rarity's body causing to low back down feeling tired. "Actually Applejack now that you mention it I suppose I could use a tiny brake." Rarity replied through short breaths before falling over.
Applejack rushed over just in time to catch her "I told you." Applejack frowned.
From out of nowhere None other then Twilight walked straight through the door. "TWILIGHT!!!" Everyone exclaimed excited to see their pony princess friend again. They rushed over to greet their friend, Sunset felt so happy to see Twilight knowing that her friend wasn't ignoring her and that she answered her call for help.
"Uh yes?" Twilight asks confused unknown to why these girls knew her name.
"Well I'll be, you should of told us you were coming." Applejack said as she placed her arm around Twilights neck.
Rarity overlooked Twilights attire and noticed a few things out of place. "Darling those glasses." she nervously chuckled. " What are you wearing? Its so severe."
Twilight looked down at herself confused. "My uniform?" she replied unsure of what was wrong.
Fluttershy and Anon looked at each other equally confused as the other. "Your uniform for what?" Fluttershy asks sweetly.
These questions just made Twilight feel uneasy and even more confused then before. "For Chrystal Prep. But why does everyone at this school know who I am."
Everyone just looked at each other in shock. "Did you just say Chrystal Prep?" Rainbow asks hoping she miss heard.
It was at this moment Spikes head pop out of Twilights bag, causing the girls to call out his name. As Fluttershy went to pet him Twilight pulled in fear. "You know my dog's name too?"
Just around Principle Celestia was walking Principle Cinch around the school before stopping outside the music room as Celestia noticed the familiar purple student. "Twilight?!"
"This is getting ridiculous." Twilight shock her head at the nonsense that surrounded her.
Principle Cinch walked forward placing a hand on Twilights shoulder. "I must apologize for the curiosity of my prize student" Cinch apologised in almost boastful manner.
Principle Celestia was taken back this. "Your Student?"
Cinch looked down at Twilight quite crossed at her. "The smart ones are always the most curious. I'll return her to check in with the rest of her classmates."
Celestia looked to the students in the music room. "I didn't know that Twilight had a twin sister?"
"She doesn't, That Twilight is obviously the Twilight from this world since it couldn't possibly be the Twilight from the pony world because she doesn't go to Chrystal prep or have glasses. Pinkie answers in one quick speedy secession.
Principle Celestia was going to reply but as soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn't think of what to say. "Never mind."
Sunset frowned at this, it wasn't the Twilight she knew or needed. She had to solve this magical problem all by her self, she was just glad Anon was by her side. Having met this worlds Twilight killed the mood not to mention Rarity's collapse earlier. No one felt like trying on costumes for any event that the Friendship Games had coming up. When Anon left to change back into his normal beanie, shirt and jeans combo, he could see how annoyed Sunset was. This led Anon to think up something that he could treat her to later tonight.
Anon and the girls walked along the empty corridors waiting for the upcoming party where Chrystal Prep and Canterlot High are meant be coming together before the games begin. "I cant believe our world's twilight goes to Chrystal Prep."
"You know that mean's we're gonna have to play against her." Anon sighs as kicks the floor.
"She'd never play against us!" Rainbow retorted in shock.
"Our Twilight wouldn't" Fluttershy said calming tone as put hand on Dash's Shoulder.
Sunset burst at all the talk of Twilight. "Our Twilight is a Princess in Equestria and an expert in Friendship magic. And if she was here we'd have already figured out why magic is randomly popping during our pep rallies, helping the homeless or costume changes!" Every was a bit taken back looking at Sunset with wide eyes surprised expression. Anon walked over placing his hand on her shoulder try to be careful and go any further that would raise suspicions. "Sorry, im just frustrated that I haven't heard back from Twilight." She apologised hanging her head low.
"She's a princess in Equestria, probably got problems of her own to deal with." Applejack said with a sympathetic smile.
"We can't just expect her to drop everything and pop through the portal whenever. Especially if its to deal with something as minor as a few pony up's." Rarity adds confidently.
Sunset crossed her arms feeling insecure. "But they aren't minor. Magic came into this world when I stole Twilights crown, its taken a lot from me to gain everyone's trust, that is when Flash isn't trying to make me look like the bad girl again." Anon felt like saying something but he thought best to let her continue talking. "And if we have to forfeit the games because I cant think of a way to keep it under control.
Anon stroked Sunset shoulder making her look at him. "You've got this. We all believe in you, you were the one that helped us all understand what was going on with the sirens."
Sunset pulled back away from Anon's hand leaning against the lockers "I guess so. But Twilight was the one who really figured out what we needed to defeat the sirens."
Putting his hands in his pockets Anon look over at Sunset with a kind smile. "But I think your forgetting something." Sunset looked up at him with those sad eyes that could brake Anon's heart. "What Twilight needed was both of us to defeat them." Fluttershy frowned at this feeling a slight jealous but kept it held back.
As much as Sunset wanted to dismay it she could help but smile. "All right." This caused their friends to cheer Sunset smile even brighter.
Having cheered Sunset up Rainbow moved focus back to the Friendship Games "Come on guy's lets if we can find any info about the events and see if we can come up with a strategy." As everyone walked ahead towards the library, Sunset stayed where she was pulling Anon by the hand keeping him from walking off. Rainbow looked behind to see Sunset and Anon still by the lockers "Are you guys coming?"
Anon looked to Sunset as he had no idea what was happening. "We'll catch up with you guys in a bit." Rainbow smile and gave the pair a thumbs up.
"So where are going?" Anon asks intrigued
"Well firstly." She pulled Anon kissing him deeply before letting go "That was for all the kind words you said."
Anon smiled at that. "No problem, glad I could help."
"And secondly it was about what you last said, about Twilight needing us both to defeat the sirens." With that Sunset dragged Anon outside. The busses from Chrystal Prep were all lined up along the road with the students all waiting along side them. Sunset quickly pull out her book and she suspected nothing. She put the book in her bag and turn around look at Anon smiling excitedly. "I have a plan. We quickly pop into the portal and visit Twilight in Equestria." Whilst still holding Anon's Hand she excitedly ran down the steps towards the statue.
Anon was unsure about doing this he had so many questions. "Sunset are you sure? What if someone see's us? What if She is busy and we've come in at the wrong time?"
Sunset smiled back at Anon. "Then we solve it ourselves, But its a least worth a try and no one's watching us they could careless about what we're doing."
This Actually calmed the vampire boy down and made him put more trust in his girlfriend. "Alright then, Let's do it!"
As Sunset put her hand on the portal Anon watched as the magic drained away from the Statue, Sunset and himself as she held on to him. when it was over they both go flung left feeling drained of magic and exhausted from it all. Sunset got up quicker then Anon and noticed the device around her neck was glowing and sparking. "What did you do?" Anon got up at this point and notice Twilight and the device around her neck.
It was at this moment a Chrystal Prep Teacher calls out. "Twilight you have to check in with the others." With that Twilight ran away in fear before the pair could do anything.
Sunset grabbed hold Anon's hand angrily and tried again once more. Sunset place her hand on the portal and nothing happened, this freaked the pony girl out. Letting go of Anon's hand she franticly placed her hands all over the statue looking for the portal. "Whereas the portal! Whereas the portal!"
"Sunset what's wrong?" Anon asks confused.
Sunset turned to look at Anon, her face full of fear. "The Portal is gone!"
