"Alright girls, we need to make sure that everything is ready." Said Twilight as she looks at her friends.

"I don't know Twilight, this is a lot of stuff we need to finish." Said Sunset Shimmer.

"Sunset has a point darling, I mean I can barely get everything done." Said Rarity.

"Yeah, apparently I tho k we all really need some help." Said Juniper as she looks exhausted.

"Oh hey you guys, what are you doing right now?" Asked Pinkie Pie as she smiles.

"Oh well, Vinyl and I were trying to practice our new music in the music room but we wanted a break." Said Octavia as she smiles and Vinyl did a thumbs up.

"Me, Cherry Crash, and Rose Heart were trying to make some new clothes for fashion class." Said Blueberry Cake.

"Photo Finish was taking some pictures of me, Ringo, and Scott Green for one of her photos for photo class." Said Thunderblass as he smiles.

"Sandalwood and me are trying to figure out what are we going to do with our science project but we wanted to take a break." Said Micro Chip as he pushes his glasses up." What are you girls doing?"

"Well, we were trying to finished put up everything for the welcome party for the Shadowbolts so we can be ready for the Friendship Games." Said Twilight." But apparently there is a lot of things to do and we don't think we could finish it all."

"We could all help you." Said Rose Heart as she smiles.

That got the girls to smile that the others are able to help them get ready and then they all have started to prepare the main gym.

Micro Chip and Sandalwood were helping Twilight and Sunset hanging the banner, Vinyl, Octavia, and Ringo were fixing up the music, Blueberry Cake, Cherry Crash, and Rose Heart were helping Pinkie Pie with the decorations, Thunderblass and Scott Green were fixing the lights, and Photo Finish is creating her photo booth to take pictures.

Then after they all finished, they all take a look at how the main gym look like for the Shadowbolts to feel welcome. And they all smile at how a great job they did and then Photo Finish started to speak.

"Ah yes, I see it now, the colors are there, and the style is so perfect!" Said Photo Finish as she smiles.

"Man, we all did really great at this gym." Twilight.

"Why don't we all go to the student lounge and take a break, all this hard work can really affect my hair." Said Rarity.

Then everyone have all agreed and they all have started to go to the student lounge to take a break and they all got their drinks and then they all started to sit and talk.

"Oh man, I can't believe that I'm saying this, but I can't wait for the Friendship Games." Said Micro Chip as he drink his soda." I mean, we have win some games and have fun but the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts think that this is some kind of competition."

"I know right, I mean seriously, I always though the Friendship Games are supposed to be like two schools getting along." Said Ringo as he looks at his friends." But I'm thinking it gonna be hard to get along with a team that beats every other school."

"I'm sure glad that I don't go to Crystal Prep Academy, I heard that school had many students that don't care about anybody else." Said Cherry Crash.

"I know right, I can't image how the students there are like." Said Scott Green as he agrees.

That got Twilight to get really nervous because she was still shock about seeing her ex boyfriend, Flash Sentry, again when she doesn't want to see him again.

"Hey Twilight, are you okay, you seem a bit upset right." Said Rose Heart looking a bit concerned and the others.

"We were hanging out with the Hamato siblings, the Purple Vipers, April, and Casey the other day, and you will never guess who we just saw." Said Pinkie Pie.

"You saw the Shadowbolts?" Asked Ringo.

"Yeah, we saw the Shadowbolts but you are not going to believe who is also attending Crystal Prep Academy." Said Sunset as she frowns a bit.

"Who did you girls see?" Asked everyone.

"Flash Sentry." Said Twilight as she frowns.

"What?!" Said everyone in shock.

"Flash Sentry is back?!" Asked Ringo in shock.

"Yeah, we saw him again." Said Rarity as she frowns." Apparently he goes to Crystal Prep Academy now and he is also a Shadowbolt."

"Oh man, I hate that jerk, do you guys remember what he did back in middle school." Said Sandalwood as he look at everyone.

"How can we forget what he did, he was so mean to everyone back then, even Wallflower Blush." Said Cherry Crash.

"I felt really awful and kinda felt like we should've help her." Said Blueberry Cake as she felt a bit guilty.

"But you guys know it's not your fault, it's Flash Sentry's." Said Rainbow Dash.

"I can't believe that me and Brawly Beats use to be on a band with Flash Sentry." Said Ringo as he frowns." I mean we were really great back then but all wants to be is popular."

"I know right, I mean seriously, I can't believe that he only cares about being popular and think that nobody can fit in." Said Juniper.

"I know, he has some style back then, but his style is not right." Said Photo Finish.

"I just can't believe that he did some horrible things to us and get everyone to hurt other people." Said Cherry Crash till she looks at Twilight who was a bit upset." Oh well, of course not you Twilight, but remember what he tried to do 2 years ago during the big pep rally?"

"Oh god, how can I forget about that, he almost tried to harm everyone back then if I didn't stop him." Said Twilight as she looks scared.

"Yeah, by the way, you didn't tell your new friends about your past did you?" Asked Scott Green.

"What, of course not, I didn't want to tell them because I'm still afraid of what will happen if they found out." Said Twilight." I mean, Flash was a really bad person back then."

"Yeah, and I just can't believe that they wouldn't throw him in jail, they just expelled him." Said Starlight as she frowns.

"What he did back then was so awful, I can't believe that we had to see him again." Said Trixie as she frowns.

"But you know, back at middle school, there is one thing I don't understand." Said Scott Green as he look at the girls." How is that the seven of you girls are different but yet you are really great friends?"

That also got the others, Juniper, Starlight, and Trixie to get curious also on how the girls are really best friends.

"Well, we may be different but we have somethings in common and we like to hangout with each other." Said Twilight as she smiles.

"Yeah, we are always there for each other and always there to help." Said Fluttershy as she smiles.

"Because we learn that our life doesn't begin until you are actually in your life." Said Rainbow Dash as she smirks.

That got the others to smile and realize that life just doesn't begin until they they are actually in. Then all of a sudden, music have begun to play and then Twilight have begun to sing along with the others.

Twilight Sparkle: Every day I just pray
Every move I make is right
Where I go
Who I know

Sunset Shimmer: Will I be alone on
Saturday night

Everyone: And I worry
What if I stand out one bit
And I worry
What can I possibly do
To fit in
The perfect clothes
Nose
The perfect skin
Face
All ace
Both my folks total jokes
All they do is chew my ass
Blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah
They should just be glad
I make it to class

Rarity: I don't worry
If I blow my SATs
I worry
What can I possibly do

Rainbow Dash: To squeeze in
Pow
Why not now
When will I belong
Look where I am, damn
My whole life feels wrong

Starlight Glimmer: What if I do
Snap
Holy crap
I'd crawl out of my skin
And so would you

Everyone: 'Cuz life just doesn't begin
Until you're in

Micro Chip: God
It's rough
Staying tough
Wondering what the world will say
Make a plan
Be a man
All this frickin' crap
Just gets in the way

Juniper Montage: I go crazy
Nobody cares
What it does to me

Sandalwood: And it's crazy
I would go out of my mind

Everyone: To be in it
In is it
What comes close to that
Until you've been in
You ain't where it's at
Cuz' when you're out, well
Life is hell
You can never win
There's no doubt that
Life just doesn't begin
Until you're
And someday
If I don't stand out one bit
Oh someday
I may be normal enough
To fit in
Cause life just doesn't begin
Doesn't begin
Doesn't begin
Doesn't begin
Doesn't begin
Until you're in

After the Mane 7 and their friends have finished their song, they all sit down and smile at each other.

"Man, that kinda felt great singing right now." Said Octavia as she smiles." Right Vinyl?"

Vinyl have made a thumbs up and she smiled at her friends.

"Man, I never knew that we can really sing that great, we should be in a choir one time." Said Micro Chip as he smiles.

"Wow!" Said a voice.

Then all of a sudden, the Mane 7 and their friends have started to look at the other direction of the student lounge to where that voice is coming from.

They have started to see the Hamato siblings, the Purple Vipers, April, and Casey were standing at one side of the room with their mouths open up wide and their eyes wides as Ophelia is holding a video camera.

"Oh you guys, how long have you all been standing there?" Asked Twilight.

"Long enough when we're hearing you all singing, and I gotta saying that you guys are like awesome!" Said Leo in excitement.

"What are you guys doing here?" Asked Sunset Shimmer as she got up.

"Well, we wanted to visit you guys if you need any help but apparently we would have been sooner but you know, this one." Said Raph as he points at Marcus.

"Hey, at least we found the student lounge and this time we made it in time." Said Marcus as he smiles.

"Yeah, apparently it took us like about 3 hours than the last time we have to get here Marcus." Said Oliver as he glared at Marcus.

"Oh come on you guys, this place is big, what was I supposed to do?" Asked Marcus.

"You were supposed to ask the Principal for direction before you told us to follow you." Said Donnie as he looked at Marcus." How many times we have to tell you that?"

"Yeah, you had to drag us to other classrooms, dorm rooms, and the pool, which I can't believe that this time Slash and Leatherhead have fell into." Said Raph as he point at his his friends who is a bit wet.

"Although you have to admit, it was kinda funny." Said Thomas as he chuckled a bit.

Then Slash and Leatherhead have both started to glared at Thomas and he started to be quiet.

"But hey you guys, at least we made it to the student lounge." Said Marcus as he smile a bit.

Then the other students have all get up meet the Hamato siblings, the Purple Vipers, April, and Casey. Then Octavia and Vinyl both saw Raph, they have both started to blush really red and started to go to him.

"Oh hello there, my name is Octavia and this is my friend Vinyl and you are one really handsome boy we are seeing right now." Said Octavia as she and Vinyl smiles.

"Oh thank you, my name is Raphael Hamato but you can call me Raph." Said Raph as he smiles.

Then Sunset Shimmer started to feel a bit jealous but then calms down as she realized the look at Raph's eyes that he like her. Then Micro Chip started to speak.

"So who are these new friends of yours?" Asked Micro Chip.

"Oh right, how do we put this?" Said Sunset Shimmer as she starts to clear her throat." Guys, these are our new friends, this is Leo, Raph, Donnie, Mikey, Miwa, April, and Casey."

"And these are the Purple Vipers, this is Slash, Leatherhead, Oliver, Jack, Thomas, Marcus, Ophelia, and Carrie." Said Twilight as she smiles.

"And guys these Sandalwood, Micro Chip, Scott Green, Thunderblass, Ringo, Bon Bon, Lyra, Blueberry Cake, Cherry Crash, and Rose Heart." Said Rarity as she smiles.

"Nice to meet you guys, the girls have told us so much about you." Said Micro Chip as he smiles.

"Yeah, we heard so much about you guys, the girls tell us so much about you." Said Blueberry Cake as she smiles.

"Hey there Mikey, where's Jason?" Asked Bon Bon as she smiles.

"Oh well, he can't be able to come over because he had to help his mom with the house and his dad had to go to work." Said Mikey as he explains.

"Oh we see, well I hope he will come over soon." Said Lyra as she smiles.

"So, you must be Photo Finish, the girls told us that you take pictures and make sure they are in style." Said Miwa as she smiles at Photo Finish.

"Yes, I make sure that the fashion is there and the style." Said Photo Finish as she makes a pose." And I make sure that the photo is perfect."

"We wondering if you can take some pictures for our school?" Asked April.

"Of course, I would do anything for anyone." Said Photo Finish as she smiles.

"Say, do you guys want to see this project that me and Micro Chip are working on?" Asked Sandalwood as he smiles.

"Sure, we will love to see your project." Said Donnie as he smiles.

So everyone have all started to follow Sandalwood and Micro Chip to the science lab where they have their project. But as they all go, Leo saw that Twilight was a bit upset and looking at the ground, so Leo starts to go to her.

"Twilight, are you okay?" Asked Leo.

"Huh, I'm okay, it's just that I'm really nervous about the Friendship Games, I mean the thing I'm competing against my ex boyfriend." Said Twilight as she felt nervous." But then again I wanted to give him a piece of my mind for what he did to my friends."

"I know how you feel Twilight, but what I do know is that you and your friends will do okay." Said Leo as he smiles.

"Thanks Leo, now lets go see Micro Chip and Sandalwood's project." Said Twilight as she smiles.

So Leo and Twilight have both started to go to the science to see Sandalwood and Micro Chip's project. But as they both, little did they know is the Friendship Games might be as interesting as they think.
