''Still no word from Princess Twilight?'' Fluttershy asked Sunset Shimmer,who shook her head.
''Not yet. But I think I may have figured out how magic works in this world. We pony up when we're showing the truest part of ourselves. I was so busy waiting for someone else to give me the answers that I gave up looking for them myself. I'm sure there will be more magical problems that pop up in this world, but like Applejack said, Princess Twilight has her own problems to worry about in Equestria. We can't expect her to always be around to help us'' Sunset replied as Sci-Twi walked over to the Rainbooms.
''But Maybe I can be.'' Sci-Twi said.
Principal Celestia put a hand on Sci-Twi while smiling.
'' It seems we have a new wondercolt here at Canterlot high!'' Celestia declared.
''I'm not sure how much help I could be. But I'd like to try. If you would all give me a chance.'' Sci-Twi said to Celestia,who nodded.
Celestia then turned to the rainbooms (Sunset, Pinkie, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy) with a soft smile.
''I'm sure I can count on you girls to help her feel at home.'' Celestia told the girls.
''You sure can'' Sunset assured the principal while winking.
Pinkie Pie simply squealed in delight.
''Maybe that's all I need to have to fee-'' Twilight was about to say,until….
BEEP!BEEP!BEEP!BEEP!
Buzzing noises...that's all Twilight heard as she woke up with a looked around and saw she was in her new room that canterlot high managed to provide her after she moved out of Crystal stretched before getting out of bed,only to fall on her face.
Spike simply went towards her before smiling.
Twilight got up before grabbing her glasses, which she left next to her lamp, and put them on.
''Ok,so...today is my first day in canterlot high, huh?'' Twilight said,looking at a mirror as spike barked at the mirror before looking at her.
''Yep! Gives you a chance to be in a safer and more accepting environment with new friends to make and no worry for your magic to end up coming out like it did yesterday.'' Spike said.
''That's just it, Spike , midnight sparkle returning is something that worries me.'' Twilight said, turning away, ''What makes you think she won't turn up while we're at canterlot high...what makes you think she won't come out at any moment?''
''With sunset, fluttershy and the others, you have nothing to worry about.'' Spike assured her , '' I promise.''
Twilight just managed to finish getting her clothes on:A black suit and purple shirt with a white tie while retaining her hairstyle and glasses.
'' I guess you're right…'' Twilight said,then got her bookbag and walked out as the base came rolling in , ''...convenient timing.''
'' That's an understatement.'' Spike said before hopping into Twilight's bookbag as she walked up to the bus driver.
''Hi, Ms. Matilda, didn't expect you to be here.'' Twilight said to Matilda,who shrugged.
''Had to come here to follow my favorite bus rider.'' Matilda told her.
'' ...That's not creepy at all…'' Twilight said sarcastically while walking to her seat, a bit nervous.
When Twilight was adjusting to being on the canterlot high bus,she closed her eyes to rest before a sudden 'HELLO!' Startled her.
Twilight's glasses fell off of her before she caught them to look at who said it...and seeing pinkie pie.
'' Oh...um...hi pinkie.'' Twilight said with a nervous grin.
''ARE YOU READY FOR TODAY, TWILIGHT!?'' Pinkie asked the transfer with a cheeky grin.
Twilight simply blinked and nodded slowly before falling asleep.
''...ok, you have fun sleeping!'' Pinkie shouted before turning her head to face the front of the bus.
In Twilight's dream….
Twilight landed in a large,empty and dry field as burning trees were around her and animals were running away. Trees were burning down like a wildfire as a floating woman with wings was above the forest,laughing maniacally.
''W-Who are you? And what are you doing?'' Twilight asked the woman,who turned her head to Twilight,making her blood run cold at the sight, '' M-Midnight Sparkle!''
Midnight Sparkle landed before Twilight and smirked.
''You have friends now, Twilight...but friends alone will not get rid of your fears! Of your true self! I AM YOUR TRUE SELF!'' Midnight Sparkle barked , ''And if you really think you can ever truly get rid of me, you are DEAD WRONG!''
''B-But why?'' Twilight began , ''Why must you cause me so much pain?''
''Me?'' , Midnight Sparkle gasped,placing a hand on her chest, ''It is not me causing you this pain, Twilight Sparkle! It is you yourself!''
Twilight slowly began backing away from Midnight Sparkle as the demonic part of her slowly followed.
''Your guilt and fear fuel my influence and power over you! No matter what you do, you always live in the fear you will end up like you did at the friendship games.'' Midnight Sparkle explained , ''And because of that, you and your friends will suffer from your emotional trauma! AND MY POWER AND INFLUENCE WILL FLOW THROUGH YOU!''
Midnight Sparkle then spawned a portal to equestria under Twilight,causing her to fall through.
''No…'' Twilight whispered as she slowly began to fall through the atmosphere of equestria at incredible speeds , ''NOOOOO!''
-OOOOOO!
Twilight quickly woke up,gasping several times while having a fearful and horrified face. She looked around and saw she was at canterlot high and all of the other students already got off. Seeing this,Twilight sighed and got her bookbag before walking towards the exit of the bus.
''Are you okay, Twilight?'' Matilda asked her ,'' I've never seen you so scared before.''
''I'm fine , no need to worry.'' Twilight said,quickly smiling at Matilda before walking off the bus and seeing canterlot high school.
Twilight gulped before walking into the school,avoiding eye contact with anyone as she walked in as the words 'The Midnight In Me' appeared above her before slowly fading away.
Repairs were being done to parts of the school that were damaged by midnight sparkle...damaged by her...but overall, the school didn't look that different.
As Twilight roamed the halls, she noticed Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer talking to eachother outside of the band room. Shrugging, Twilight decided to walk up to the two.
''Hi…'' Twilight slowly said before being grabbed by Rainbow Dash , '' I'M SORRY! I SAID I'M SORRY FOR MI-''
''Uh,Twilight? What's wrong with you?'' Rainbow Dash asked her with a raised eyebrow.
Twilight broke away from them and ran off in terror.
''...You scared her off, Rainbow Dash.'' Sunset spat.
''Well I didn't MEAN it.'' RD said with a shrug.
Twilight quickly stormed into a bathroom before unzipping her bookbag, causing Spike to hop out and land on her lap.
''I don't think i can do this, spike…'' Twilight sighed , 'I just can't stand the thought of them being hurt by me again.''
''Twilight, Midnight Sparkle is not a part of you anymore, It's only you.'' Spike said ,''If there is a chance of Midnight coming back, it will only be in your head, not physically.''
''I know, but…'' Twilight started,before sighing , '' You're right. Maybe I'll try to go out there and get through today.''
Twilight picked up spike and slowly walked to the door of the bathroom before opening it,causing a bright light to shine in her face as the camera cut to black.
