Alternate Universe of Equestria Girls
==Summary==
On their way to Walt Disney World in Florida Sunset Glare's car breaks down halfway there he and his friends decided to visit the Shimmer Manor hoping to find a telephone to call a mechanic to fix his car but what they didn't count on is the fact that the mansion is haunted by a ghost of a dead bride who waits for her long lost groom.
==Story==
In the 1800s in the small town of New Orleans, Louisiana there lived a wealthy sea captain with vivid crimson hair, and beard, piercing blue eyes, wearing a navy blue uniform complete with medals for his service to the country, and black shoes named Solar Flare, and his fair wife with flowing, silk-like yellow hair, lovely moderate cyan eyes, wearing an orange and yellow sundress, and red slippers named Solar Eclipse. Although Solar Flare was proud of the fact that he built the grandest mansion on top of a hill overlooking the town of New Orleans, and married the most beautiful woman in the country, it wasn't enough, for he felt that there was something missing. When he figured out what it was, both he and Solar Eclipse longed for a child to call their own. And finally, their wish was granted. A daughter was born, and they called her Sunset Shimmer. She was called that because by the time she was born, the sun had started to set on their elegant manor, and she was a shimmering image. She had her father's hair color with her mother's hair color mixed with it. She also had her mother's eyes, and her father's smile.
Thoughtout her childhood, Sunset Shimmer's servants waited on her hand and foot. She was always groomed for success from the time she could walk. She was mostly homeschooled, and she had a rather expensive education. Although her parents doted her by giving her every luxury, and confront, she was everything but spoiled. One day, she and her father were taking a walk on the dock of New Orleans. She was wearing a red sun hat with a yellow ribbon on it, a yellow dress with a red ribbon tied to the waist, white socks and black Mary Jane shoes. She was holding her father's hand as they walked.
Solar Flare:An aristocrat should take pride in what he or she built. (Looks down at his daughter)But always remember my beloved child, family is the only real wealth. Do you promise to remember that?
Sunset Shimmer nodded and said
Sunset:I pwomise daddy.
Solar Flare smiled at Sunset Shimmer, and they both headed back to their manor.
As they years past Sunset Shimmer grew into a lovely young woman who wore an elegant crimson red, and white sleeveless dress. She was quit beautiful, for her hair reached her shoulders, and went halfway down her back. Her eyes were filled with wisdom, and yet still filled with child-like innocence at the same time. No doubt that she was the shimmering image of her mother like her name suggested. Every suitable bachelor from all over the nation sought out for her hand in marriage. But sorrow could still come to anyone, no matter how happy and content they may be. And so it came to her one day when an eartquake struck the town. It killed many people, including Solar Flare and Solar Eclipse while Sunset Shimmer was badly injured. She may have survived the earthquake, but she felt eternally dead on the inside when she felt grief for her dead parents. But in the mist of her sorrow, not all was darkness. For she had found the one true love a month later . He was a young traveling man who looks like a male version of herself. His name was Sunset Glare the First. He was a wealthy bachelor, but he longed to see the world, and travels. His travels led him to New Orleans when his carriage broke down. He went up to the manor to see if he could stay for a while until his carriage is repaired. When he first laid eyes on Sunset Shimmer, and she laid eyes on him, they instantly fell in love.
They spent their time together, and when the day that his carriage was repaired came, they bidded each other farewell, but Sunset Glare the First promised her that he will return one day. A year later, he was true to his word when he returned to the manor, and proposed to her in front of her servants. She was overwhelmed with joy as she said"Yes!" Many months went by, and the plans for the wedding was in full swing. Then one day the wedding day finally came, and the guests had started to arrive. While Sunset Shimmer was preparing herself in her bedroom, Sunset Glare the First made his way to the ballroom to wait for his future wife to walk down the aisle. Suddenly a hooded figure caught his eye, and followed it to the attic. He was puzzled when the hooded figure disappeared. Before he could leave, however the hooded figure attacked him, and hung him by the neck from the rafters . In the ballroom, Sunset Shimmer who was wearing the finest wedding gown from Paris, France that her late mother wore on her wedding day when she married her late father walked down the aisle, and awaited for her groom to arrive. Hours went by, and there was no sign of Sunset Glare the First. Slowly, the guests flied away, leaving Sunset Shimmer alone in her manor with her servants.
Sunset:Someday he will come.
And so, she never took off her wedding gown or dropped her bouquet of red roses. She wandered the manor aimlessly, singing melanchoy songs of love for many years, and the more sh wandered, the more she became hollow and broken. Then one day, as an old lady, she went down the stairs. She stopped halfway, however, when she felt her heart stop beating, she tumbled down the rest of the way, and passed away on the floor. One of her maids found her and screamed in terror as she did so. The rest of the staff then held a funeral for her, and had her buried next to her parents. After she was buried, however, her soul was not in peace. For her soul wandered the halls of her former home, waiting for her beloved groom to return to her.
Many years later it was a bright and sunny day at Canterlot High, and the bell had just rung, meaning that school has ended, and summer had just begun. All of the students ran out of their classroom, and ran out of the school. A young man who looked like Sunset Shimmer's long lost love named Sunset Glare was about to walk home when he heard a voice that said.
Voice:Hey, Sunset Glare!
He turned to see his friends, Dusk Shine, AJ, Butterscotch, Bubble Berry, Elusive, Rainbow Britz, and Starbeam Glamour. Dusk Shine who was the one that spoke to Sunset Glare then said.
Dusk Shine:What are you going to do for summer vacation?
Sunset Glare:Oh I don't think I'll be doing much. I would just stay home and watch TV. But that's it.
Bubble Berry:That's boring! We should all go to Walt Disney World Florida!
Sunset Glare:Well...I guess taking a trip wouldn't hurt a little.
Bubble Berry:Yay!
Elusive:We'll meet you at your place, we'll take your car.
Sunset Glare:Ok, see you then.
He and his friends go their separate ways
A few hours later
Sunset Glare had just finished packing his suitcase, and he looked outside his bedroom window to see his fiends with their suitcases waiting for him. He then grabbed his keys, and went out of the house. They then got into his car, and they took off on their trip. Many hours went by, and they were driving through New Orleans when the car broke down, and Sunset Glare said
Sunset Glare:Oh no. The car broke down!
Rainbow Britz:Well this sucks!
Starbeam Glamour:What could be worse?!
Bubble Berry:It could be raining.
As if on cue, the rain started to pour down on them
Dusk Shine:(Sarcastically)Thanks for jinxing us Berry.
Butterscotch:Now, what are we gonna do?
AJ looked up at a really old mansion on the top of a hill
AJ:Maybe the people in that old manor there can let us use their phone.
Sunset Glare:It is possible. Let's give it a try.
Bubble Berry:Ok let's go.
Bubble Berry said as they took out their umbrellas. They then left the car, and went up the hill to the old mansion.
Once they reached the manor, Sunset Glare knocked on the door with all his might, and said
Sunset Glare:Hello?! Is anyone there? Sorry to bother you, but we need a telephone to call a mechanic.
Butterscotch:Maybe they're not home.
Rainbow Britz:Oh, don't be such a baby, Butterscotch. Besides, we have no other options.
Butterscotch:I guess.
Sunset Glare knocked on the door again, and said
Sunset Glare:Hello?!
Suddenly, the doors open by themselves which surprised them, and Dusk Shine said
Dusk Shine:Oh my gosh!
Sunset Glare:Come on, let's go in
They walked inside, and Dusk Shine looked to his right to see no one standing there as the door closed, and said
Dusk Shine:This is scientifically imposible!
Starbeam Glamour:What do you mean?
Dusk Shine:The door has been opened and closed, but no one was there!
Elusive:That is pretty strange.
They looked at the dust covering the area as Bubble Berry said.
Bubble Berry:Looks like the cleaning crew hasn't been here recently.
AJ said
AJ:No kidding.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of a door opening and closing at the end of the entrance to the hallway, and they looked ahead to see a young woman with strong cerulean hair with moderate artic blue streaks in It, moderate azure eyes, wearing a French maid outfit, and black socks and shoes named Juniper Montage walking towards them. She reached the end and said.
Juniper Montage:Hello. Welcome to the Sunset Manor. My name is Juniper Montage, and I am the head maid of this mansion.
Sunset Glare:Hi I'm Sunset Glare. And these are my friends, Dusk Shine, AJ, Butterscotch, Bubble Berry, Elusive, Rainbow Britz, and Starbeam Glamour. Listen, we're sorry to bother you, but my car broke down, and we need to call a mechanic to fix it. Can we use your phone, please?
Juniper Montage:Very well, but wouldn't you like to eat first?
Sunset Glare:No I just want a telephone.
Rainbow Britz:Ah, come on. It wouldn't hurt to grab a quick bite to eat.
Sunset Glare sighed and said
Sunset Glare:Fine.
Juniper Montage:Very well. Follow me, please.
She said that as she and the boys started walking.
As they walked down the hall, they looked at the suits of armor in a perfectly straight line. They reached the end, and Juniper Montage opened the door to reveal a lavish dinning room.
Dusk Shine:Oh wow. This is impressive.
Says that as they entered the room, and Juniper Montage closed the door.
Elusive:I would love to eat like this back home.
Starbeam Glamour:Me too.
Juniper Montage:The mistress will be with you shortly
Said that as she walked away.
Butterscotch looked at the picture of Sunset Shimmer in her wedding gown as he said
Butterscotch:I wonder who that is.
Bubble Berry:Beats me.
Sunset Glare looked at the fireplace saying
Sunset Glare:This is truly amazing. I mean seriously, look at the detail. I mean I never seen anything like this.
Voice:Haven't you?
They looked to their left to see a young woman who looked like the bride in the painting, only wearing a light blue blouse, black jacket, a gold locket with a ruby on it, blue jeans, and black boots.
Woman:My great-great grandfather speared no expense when he built this manor.
Sunset Glare:And you are?
Sunny Blaze:Sunny Blaze.
Sunset Glare:I'm Sunset Glare. And these are my friends, Dusk Shine, AJ, Butterscotch, Bubble Berry, Elusive, Rainbow Britz, and Starbeam Glamour.
They all said "Hi" at the same time.
Sunny Blaze:It is a quite pleasure to meet you fine boys.
Just then, Juniper Montage came back and said
Juniper Montage:Gentelmen.
They all sat down at the table as Bubble Berry said
Bubble Berry:Hey, just curious, but do you have termites in this manor?
Juniper Montage:No, but lately there have been a lot of disturbances 
Sunny Flare:What do you think of the house?
Sunset Glare:I think it's lovely. A lot of love and care must have been put into building this place.
As the other maid and butlers served the meals, Sunny Flare said
Sunny Flare:Indeed it has. You see, my great-great grandfather named Solar Flare was a sea captain, and he arrived in New Orleans after the war of 1812. and bought his wealth to the town. There, he met the nobleman's daughter named Solar Eclipse who was my great-great grandmother, and fell in love. The nobleman had promised her hand in marriage to another man, but the sea captain proved his worth to him and his daughter by building the grandest mansion in all of New Orleans, and gave her the most opulent wedding her heart desired. Complete with the finest gown from Paris, France, the best musicians, the finest food ever tasted, and more. After that they were eventually blessed with a beautiful daughter named Sunset Shimmer who was my great grandmother.
Sunset Glare said
Sunset Glare:Wow. What a fascinating story.
As it continue rain outside the manor, Sunny Blaze said
Sunny Blaze:This house is my inheritance. My birthright. But lately, it's become too much to bear. Tell me gentlemen, do you believe in ghosts?
Dusk Shine:No offense, miss, but the nonmaterial embodiment or essence or organism that's seen as a specter, wraith, or apparition has been scientifically proven to be a sheer myth. In other words there's no such thing as a ghost.
Bubble Berry:Yeah but does the ghost know that?
Dusk Shine:No, because they don't exists.
Juniper Montage looked out the window as she said.
Juniper Montage:Oh dear. The storm has flooded the road. I'm afraid there will be no leaving the manor tonight.
Starbeam Glamour:What?!
Sunny Blaze: Of course, you are welcome to spend the night here.
Sunset Glare:Oh, I don't think so. Besides, I just want a telephone to call a mechanic.
Sunny Blaze:I'm afraid there is no other way. (As she leaves)Juniper Montage will show you to your rooms.
As they walked down the hall, Juniper Montage had shown them to their rooms as she said.
Juniper Montage:I hope you all find your rooms to your liking.
AJ:Yeah, it's great.
Butterscotch:Yeah. Great.
Elusive:It'll be like spending the night in a fine hotel.
Juniper Montage:Will there be anything else that you require gentlemen?
Bubble Berry:Oh are you gonna get some chocolate?!
Juniper Montage raised an eyebrow and said
Juniper Montage:Pardon?
Bubble Berry:You know. The chocolates that they usually put on hotel pillows.
Juniper Montage just left as the boys went into their rooms. An hour later Dusk Shine was laying on his bed feeling a little irritated as he muttered
Dusk Shine:We were not supposed to be here! We were supposed to be at Walt Disney World.
He sighed, and said 
Dusk Shine:Well I suppose it can't be helped.
Just then he heard a knock on the door and went over to answer it. He opened it to see Juniper Montage standing there as she said 
Juniper Montage:Pardon the intrusion sir. But, the mistress was wondering if she might have a word with you in the library.
Dusk Shine:A word? Uh sure.
Juniper Montage:If you will kindly follow me.
(Dusk Shine nodded as he followed the maid)
Sunset Glare:Well I gotta say this is our only safe shelter. I brought a camera to film our time at Disney World
Starbeam Glamour:I got a bad feeling about this.
Rainbow Blitz:Yeah we were suppose to have some soup and then leave.
Bubble Berry:It looks like we won't be going anywhere now.
(A cold chill whistles though the air causing the boys to become cold)
Bubble Berry:That's funny. A second ago I was on fire. And now it's freezing.
(Cuts to Butter Scotch who covers himself and shivers as well)
Butter Scotch:Yeah. F-F-F-Freezing.
Bubble Berry:Come on Butter Scotch we'll chow down in the kitchen.
Butter Scotch:But I'm still full from dinner.
Bubble Berry:Yeah well I'm gonna grab a snack anyway.
