Turquoise woke up and got ready for school. After changing into her uniform she grabbed her peacoat and ran downstairs. After eating breakfast she saw Haruka outside waiting for her and got on behind Haruka. After arriving at school Turquoise and Haruka were on their way to class when a group of girls approached them.

“ Hey Turquoise we need a favor from you,” One of the girls said.

“ Sure what is it?” Turquoise asked.

“ The big game is tonight and Light Hoof is unable to make it due to a broken arm so we were hoping you could fill in for her?” the girl asked.

“ Don,t you have subs that could fill in for her?’” Turquoise asked.

“ Normally we do but unfortunately they got caught trying to deface Canterlot High and got suspended until after winter break so we are in a bit of a bind,” Another girl said.

“ Me a cheerleader I,m not sure I can I mean I never did it before,” Turquoise said.

“ Don,t worry we can get you up to speed before the game and besides we feel with you cheering our team on they will dominate the Wondercolts,” The girl said.

“ Well I guess I can give it a try sure I’ll do it,” Turquoise said.

“ Thank you you’re a lifesaver meet us in the gym after school so we can go over everything,” The girl said before the group left for class. After class ended Turquoise ran into Sapphire in the hall.

“ Hey, Turquoise how are you today?” Sapphire asked.

“ To be honest a bit nervous,” Turquoise replied.

“ About what?” Sapphire asked.

“ The Cheerleaders asked me to fill in for one of them who got injured and I’m worried I will fail them,” Turquoise said.

“ Just do your best out there and I’m sure they will be there for you,” Sapphire said reliving some of the pressure from Turquoise.

As the day went on Turquoise was getting both excited and nervous about the big game. As soon as Lunch rolled around one of the members of the football team approached Turquoise.

“Hey Turquoise rumors are going around that you will be helping the cheerleaders tonight is that true?” He asked.

“ I am this school is like my second family and I would gladly do anything to help it,” Turquoise said.

“ Then look forward to seeing us crush Canterlot High tonight because you just raised our morale,” He said before joining his team.

Turquoise was feeling less nervous and was looking forward to the big game. As soon as the final bell rang Turquoise made her way to the gym to meet the rest of the Cheerleaders and was surprised to see them waiting for her.

“ Glad you could make it Turquoise and sorry for not doing this before but allow us to introduce ourselves I am Shimmy Shake, “Shimmy said before another girl spoke.

“ I’m Alexandrite and I think you already know Lemon and Sunny,” Alex said referring to the two Turquoise was acquainted with already.

“ Trust us Turquoise you’re going to have so much fun,” Lemon said.

“ Ok girls we don,t have much time so let’s get right to it,” Shimmy said.

The girls ran Turquoise through the basics so she could have a general idea of what to do. After an hour and a half of practice, Turquoise was close to good enough and everyone went to the locker room to get changed. The coach of the Cheer Squad came in with a uniform for Turquoise.

“ Good thing Lemon knew your measurements or I would not have finished on time,” The coach said before she left to let the girls change.

As soon as Turquoise finished changing she began to feel a kind of pain she never felt before.

“ Are you feeling ok Turquoise?” Lemon asked.

“ MOTHER OF PEARL THIS HURTS SO MUCH WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?” Turquoise shouted like she was in great pain.

“ I was afraid of this Turquoise your having your first period,” Haruka said surprising everyone.

“ Haruka where did you come from?” Sunny asked.

“ I came to wish my love luck out there but I’m not sure it’s a good idea for her to go out there in this state,” Haruka said.

“ Why is this happening now shouldn’t it have happened long ago?” Alex asked.

“ I’m guessing you must be new here you see Turquoise was not always the girl you see before you she was originally male and had surgery before summer vacation started so the fact it started now doesn’t surprise me,” Lemon said.

“ Turquoise babe, listen your going to be fine this is natural just ride it out and in a few days it will be over,” Haruka said trying to keep Turquoise calm.

“ Yeah we all went through it so don,t worry we will all be here for you,” Alex said.

The game was about to start and Turquoise along with the rest of the cheerleaders went to the field to watch. Meanwhile in the stands, Bullet and Ruby were watching the game along with Minako and Toshiro. Ruby noticed Turquoise was looking a bit off. She tried to tell Bullet but he was more focused on the game.

“ Come on Shadowbolts you can do better than this, “Bullet shouted.

Haruka returned to her seat and Ruby pulled her to the side to ask about Turquoise. Haruka whispered something in her ear and Ruby looked like she witnessed something gruesome. As soon as half time began Turquoise and the rest of the Cheerleaders took the field and performed.

“ Give us an SHA,” Shimmy shouted prompting the crowd to follow.

“ Give us a DOW,” Turquoise shouted before the pain kicked in again.

“ DOW,” The crowd shouted.

“ Give us a BOLTS,” Lemon shouted prompting the crowd to do the same.

“ What does that spell?” All the girls shouted.

“ SHADOWBOLTS,” The crowd shouted before Canterlot High’s Cheer Team took their turn.

After half time ended Ruby decided to go to the locker room to check on Turquoise. As soon as she got there she saw Turquoise looking like she was in great pain.

“ Turquoise dear I know you’re scared and confused right now but let me assure you this is natural,” Ruby said.

“ Easy for you to say this never happened to you,” Turquoise said.

“ It happens with all women I remember my first menstrual cycle I was so furious and angry my classmates practically barricaded themselves in their classrooms just to stay out of my way,” Ruby said.

“ Wow that sounds scary mine was sad when people insulted my music,” Lemon said.

“ And don,t get me started on how I was so dam happy I could not feel pain when I fell,” Sunny said.

“ What kind of feelings are you having now Turquoise?” Shimmy asked.

“ Mosty fear and nervousness,” Turquoise replied.

“ So basically the kind of feelings you had when I first met you?” Lemon said.

“ Feels like it,” Turquoise said.

“ Well you don't have to worry, we are here for you now let’s watch the game and cheer our boys on,” Shimmy said.

The girls arrived on the field to watch and suddenly Turquoise began to feel cold.

“ Did the temperature just drop suddenly,” Turquoise asked.

Alex checked her phone and confirmed Turquoise’s question.

“ Your right it was fifty-two awhile ago and now it’s forty-five,” Alex said.

Turquoise was on her way back to the locker room with the others to get their coats. Just as Turquoise was about to catch up with the others a boy with red skin, an orange buzz cut and an outfit similar to Sunset’s original outfit came and punched her so hard she lost consciousness.

“ I’m not letting Crystal Prep beat us again so let’s see them keep fighting without their princess,” The boy said before he picked Turquoise up and carried her away. The acoustics in the hall alerted the others and they saw what was happening. The girls ran to the stands to try and find help. As they ran they bumped into the Canterlot High Cheer Squad who looked concerned for others.

“ You girls look like you saw something bad happen,” Rainbow said.

“ That’s because something bad did happen some guy with a buzz cut and leather jacket kidnapped Turquoise and in her fragile state we don't know what will happen,” Lemon said.

“ Did you say buzz cut and leather jacket?” Sunset asked.

“ We did,” Sunny said.

“ Sounds like Blaze he must be sore about us losing to you guys,” Rainbow said.

“ But why kidnap Turquoise she has nothing to do with it?” Alex asked.

“ Blaze is a strategist he analyzes his opponents and then exploits their weaknesses, in this case, he must have kidnapped Turquoise thinking the Shadowbolts would lose focus and lose,” Sunset said.

“ What are we going to do we can't just leave and go after him we are in the middle of a game,” Shimmy said.

“ I will go after him you girls try and keep our team going,” Haruka said.

“ Thank you, Haruka we could use her,” Alex said.

Meanwhile in front of the remains of the wonder colt statue Blaze reached his hand in to make sure the portal was open and it was.

“ So long and good riddance Princess,” Blaze said before throwing Turquoise into the portal. As soon as Blaze disposed of Turquoise he drove back to the game to try and fabricate his alibi even though there were witnesses.

Meanwhile inside the Castle of Friendship Twilight was busy reading when suddenly the portal began to activate. Twilight was expecting either Sunset or some hostile force but was surprised to see a blue pegasus with long red hair, a red tail styled like a lightning bolt and a cutie mark of a red crescent moon with a gold die get flung out unconscious and crashed into one of the bookshelves which caused an avalanche of books to rain down and the heavier ones to break some parts of the portal.

“ Spike, come quick and help me get this pony to one of the bedrooms,” Twilight said before Twilight levitated Turquoise on to her back.

Spike arrived just in time to help Twilight get Turquoise in bed so she could question her when she wakes up. Minutes later Turquoise began to regain consciousness and noticed she was not at Crystal Prep anymore.

“ Glad to see your finally awake,” Twilight said.

“ A talking pony how is that possible?” Turquoise asked.

“ Calm down miss I will explain everything but first you may want to see yourself before things get more awkward,” Twilight said. Twilight levitated a full-length mirror so Turquoise could see what happened to her. Turquoise started to look freaked out by turning into a pony until Twilight calmed her down.

“You're in Equestria and you were sent through the mirror,” Twilight explained.

“ Is there a way for me to go back to my world?” Turquoise asked.

“ You could just go back through the portal but unfortunately when you crashed into one of the shelves in my library an avalanche of books bury it and the atlases of other countries I had smashed some of the parts of the portal so I’m afraid you're stuck here until I can fix it,” Twilight said.

“ Well, what am I supposed to do until then?” Turquoise asked.

“ You could have a look around Ponyville,” Twilight suggested.

Turquoise tried to move but do to her new form she fell instantly.

“ But first try standing on all fours we ponies are quadrupeds so we don't walk on two legs like you humans do,” Twilight said.

Turquoise tried what Twilight told her to and she suddenly got used to moving.

“ We can cover flying later but first introductions, My Name Is Twilight Sparkle,” Twilight said.

“ I’m Turquoise Dusk and you look a lot like one of my friends from back home,” Turquoise said.

“ I assume you go to Canterlot High?” Twilight asked.

“ Crystal Prep actually but I do have friends there who I can guess are also worried about me,” Turquoise explained.

Turquoise explained everything she remembered before waking up in her castle.

“ This guy must have thought without you there the Shadowbolts would be forced to forfeit the game to look for you,” Twilight theorized.

Meanwhile back in the human world Haruka found Blaze and questioned him.

“ All right you Sunset wannabe what did you do to my Girlfriend?” Haruka shouted.

“ I have no idea what you're talking about I was right here the whole time,” Blaze said trying to look innocent.

“ Liar you took Turquoise we saw you do it,” Alex said as she came with Sunset.

“ Even if I did do it where would I possibly hide her?” Blaze asked only for Sunset to grab his arm and use her power. Sunset saw Blaze throwing Turquoise into the back of his car and driving toward CHS. After pulling over in front of the school he dragged Turquoise in front of the portal and threw her in.

“ You monster that portal was to be left alone, no one is allowed in there without permission,” Sunset shouted.

“ Well it's too late for you to do anything I threw her so hard I wouldn't be surprised if she is dead,” Blaze said.

Suddenly Sunset’s journal began to glow and she opened it.

“ Dear Sunset I have your friend Turquoise Dusk with me. Don't worry she is just fine but it will be a while before she can come home because the portal was damaged and it will be a few days before I can fix it so please don't worry. Your Friend Twilight.

Sunset shared the good news and everyone was relieved. As for Blaze, Alex came back with the principles of both schools and security the later escorting Blaze off the premisses. As soon as the drama was over everyone went back to watching the game just in time to watch the quarterback from Crystal Prep make the winning play.

“ And that's it folks after an intense match between both teams our boys from Crystal Prep won the chance to go to state,” The announcer said.

The team was celebrating and somehow did not get into it much knowing their school’s princess was missing.

“ Don't worry boys Turquoise is safe and will be ready to cheer you on for state,” Principal Cadence said.

“ Principal Cadence where did you come from?” Shimmy asked.

“ I been watching the game the whole time and Sunset filled me in on everything,” Cadence said.

“ So you knew about the kidnapping?” Alex asked.

“ Sadly yes and after asking Blaze about his role in this he confessed to the cheerleaders who were currently suspended putting him up to this since they felt like ruining the big game as payback so we have some open spots on our team since I removed them from the team,” Cadence said.
