Equestria Girls Remake chapter 5 part 2

---------------

Meanwhile, Hoboken Joe was busy trying to deal with a few messes around the gym; whoever wrecked the joint did a bang up job. It'll take him almost a lot of work hours before he can fix this mess while the Party Staff plans to setup different decorations to replace the destroyed bunch. Course while he was working under a table in reaching for something....

"Hay Hoboken Joe," Applejack's voice cut in to call the hobo under the table, but...

"Gaugh; Dang Gum; Applejack; Dat you; ye startled my mind!" Hobo Joe yelped to bump his head under the table, but rubbed his noggin to stood up and see...the group of friends that form the Mane Six, with Twilight, along with Ben & Nyx as well as the CMC. "Well this is a surprise; you're with your old gang of friends & with Twilight's group!" Hoboken Joe smiled off in seeing something he hadn't seen since five girls had something ruin their friendship, looks like it's been repaired and he has a feeling 'who' done it.

"How's things looking?" Ben asked with concerns in how much was done fixing the place up before they arrived.

"Well, all the sharp pieces of broken glass and other dangerous objects I collected, so it's much safer to move around. Just watch that disco ball, kay?" Hoboken Joe explained off to point at where the gang stood from the double doors, it's safe to walk in, but there is a busted disco ball that was smashed still around. "Are you all here to help with the clean up?" He asked off in what brings this group to the gym where the dance was gonna be held.

"Yeah, we are." Nyx smiled to say they came to help get the dance back on track.

"Gee dat's nice. But dis here work might've taken me all night & the day after by myself, course with a group of eight or nine, well..." Hoboken Joe was thinking over about how long this job take him to clean up, but also add in if others helped out, but he shook his head in having a hard time processing the math. "Shoot, I can't think right! I've work up a sweat, an’ wouldn't yah know, I'm outta Apple Cider!" The hobo exclaimed from working so long to fix some of the ruined gym, he's sweated up, and he's out of something to wet his thirst. "Tells you's wha, you kids see if you can help a bit while I go rustle up some cider for us to drink while we work in fixing this joint up a bit? Be back in a moment." Hoboken Joe smiled in seeing that since the kids are present, he'll leave them to help out around the gym while he gets some Apple Cider to keep their strength up.

With that, Hoboken Joe smiles to walk out the other doors to quickly get something for the gang that wants to help out something to drink. Course, Twilight's group looked at the dance in the gym once more, seeing how much was still in ruins & still a wreck. Busted tables, thrown chairs across the floor, knocked off streamers, paper plates & paper cups, and much of the other decorations were out of place. The damaged disco ball that was broken in half was another major issue, but most of the glass pieces scattered were clean up by the hobo janitor. But still, even from Hobo Joe's long work fixing this stuff after helping Flash Sentry prove Twilight's innocence, the poor hobo hasn't managed to make much progress before the gang showed up. It was going to take more than one janitor to clean & fix this place up to get the dance back on track.

"I simply cannot believe they did all this." Rarity said with a sigh, looking at the damages done to the place.

"If I only had some kind of party cannon that could decorate everything superfast," Pinkie groans a bit.

"You do have a party cannon in the pony world." Ben said quietly to himself. How ironic.

"So what shall we do?" Scootaloo ask while looking around at the place. "It could take forever to get this cleaned up!"

"Yeah, and by that time, it would be too late for you and your group to go home, Twilight." Sweetie sighs to Twilight in concern.

"I know it seems impossible, but, maybe if we all work together?" Twilight suggests to her friends with a smile.

"She's right! If we work together and get more help...we could save the dance!" Nyx insists with a smile.

"Now 'dat's 'de kind of can-do spirit Ah'm lookin' fer in a Fall Formal princess! Let's do it, y'all!" Applejack exclaims as she and her Friends form a circle before the cowgirl put her hand in."

"Absolutely," Rarity exclaims as she put her hand onto Applejack's.

"Rock on!" Rainbow exclaims eagerly as she put her hand onto Rarity's.

"Yes, indeedily," Pinkie giggles as she put her hands with the other girls.

"Yay," Fluttershy said quietly with a smile as she put her hand into the middle..

"Cutie Mark Crusader helpers, yay," The CMC cheers on while putting their hands with their sisters, idol and their friends'. Nyx grins as she joins in in putting her hand with the others.

"Well, count me and Twilight in." Ben said with a grin as he put his hand into the middle. Twilight pauses and smiles at the others as she put her hand into the middle. They all cheer while raising their hands up. Time to begin!

As a new song begins, Twilight and Ben open a door to a nearby closet. With Nyx, Spike and Phobos's help, the five takes out some brooms and cleaning stuff, tossing them to their human friends, though Rarity held her broom like it was something disgusting and Fluttershy turns in fright causing her broom to bounce off her.

Twilight: It's time for us to come together
It's the only way that things will get better
It's time for us to take a stand
So come on and lend a helping hand

Everyone got to work, sweeping with Pinkie having a good time, Rarity looking away from the filth with Spike chasing her, and soon the gang push their piles of dirt away. The gang toss some trash bags to one another with Rainbow throwing one into a trash can held by Pinkie like a basketball.

All: Fix it up
Yeah, it's all right
We'll get it ready by tonight
Mix it up
Yeah, help a friend
We'll come together in the end

As Twilight, Ben and the CMC picks up a damaged table, two boys pass by the gym and notice what's happening. Ben, seeing them, grins as he motions/inviting them to help out. The two humans shrug and came in, picking up the table.

Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash: It's time to show that we've got school spirit
Raise your voice and let everyone hear it

The boys however look surprised to see Applejack holding a better table with one hand as if the heavy thing not a big deal with her. Apple Bloom laughs a bit. Pinkie and Nyx meanwhile sweeps up some dirt...with their hairs. Once, they stopped, the two girls laugh a bit in glee.

Rarity and Applejack: It's time to show that we're strong
So come on, everybody, sing along

As Rarity and Fluttershy throws some decorations into the rafters, three girls who are Fashionistas pass by and saw the repairs happening. With smiles on their faces, they came in to help out as well by throwing decorations into the rafters as well.

All: (Look...) Look how we've all come together
(Things...) Things are only just starting to get better

One of the decorations was caught by a Eco Kid who grins a bit. The Fashionista girls smile as they came over; one of them wore a ribbon as a headband and laughs a bit with her friends and the Eco Kid. More students, especially Pinkamena and Golden Heart came in to help. A female Techie and an Athlete carry over a speaker then notice a male Techie having trouble keeping his balance on a ladder while putting up a light.

(Look...) Look how we've all come together
(Things...) Things are only gonna get better, better, better, better!

Luckily, one of the Athletes caught the ladder in time. The Techie grins while the Athlete gave him a Thumbs up. Looks like the school is really becoming together, helping one another instead of being separated. Twilight and Ben watch on and crossing their arms with proud smiles on their faces.

(We... will...) Fix it up, yeah, it's all right
(Come... tonight, tonight...) We'll get it ready by tonight

On stage, Flash Sentry and his Rocker pals are performing their instruments, looking to a Techie student who is checking the switchboard and signals the band to go ahead.

(We... will...) Mix it up, yeah, help a friend
(Come... together, together...) We'll come together in the end

Twilight and Ben were sweeping up the stage when purple girl ends up bumping into Flash by mistake. Twilight blushes in embarrassment while the Rocker grins at this; Ben smiles, knowing that he can trust the human version of his pal this time.

(We... will...) Fix it up, yeah, it's all right
(Come... tonight, tonight...) We'll get it ready by tonight

Later, some of the students are fixing up some scenes with Hobo Joe helping out Photo Finish setting up her camera. The janitor came back a while ago and is amazed of everyone helping out. Soon the gym is almost done being fixed up as the song comes to an end.

(We... will...) Mix it up, yeah, help a friend
(Come... together, together...) We'll come together, together now!

Once the song is over, the Main Six gather on stage and hug each other. The gym is finally repaired big time! Pinkie exclaims, "This... looks... sooooo... GOOD!"

"Yeah, Ah done agree!" Apple Bloom laughs as she high five her pals especially Nyx. The gym is all ready for Fall Formal tonight after all! Not even the brat's sabotages can stop it!

Celestia grins as she applaud as she exclaims, "All right, everyone! Fall Formal is back on for this evening." The students cheer on excitedly. Their dance has been saved by working together! Soon what fear of Sunset Shimmer and Boris are apparently gone!

"I got to say, we are proud of how you got together to fix this place up." Golden Heart said with a slight chuckle. "I barely didn't recognize the place."

"So you'd better get out of here and start getting ready."

"Right, I think I will get the refreshments ready!" Hobo Joe laughs eagerly. The students chat excitedly. Celestia stood by the door with a box for the votes to see who will be the Fall Formal princess.

"Don't forget to cast your ballots for the Fall Formal Princess on your way out!" Celestia calls out to the students who put in their votes into the box as they leave to get ready for the Fall Formal tonight.

"You got my vote, Twilight." A brown haired boy said to Twilight with a grin as he put in his vote.

"Mine, too!" A girl squeals as she put in her own vote into the box as well.

"Mine too!" The second girl exclaims happily and excitedly while putting in her ballot into the bot.

The third put her ballet into the box while adding, "Mine too!" Twilight and her friends smile. It's safe to say that most of the students are voting for Twilight to be Princess of the Fall Formal. Sunset Shimmer's evil rule over the school will soon come to an end and no one will have to fear her anymore.

Ben spots Trixie who put in her own ballet. Remembering the idea to keep Boris busy yesterday, the prince asks her in amusement, "Trixie, how did it go with Boris?"

Trixie smirks as she said slyly, "You know that Trixie doesn't discuss such things, Ben. I was told never to just kiss and tell."

"So I trust it went well?" Twilight ask the human version of one of her former enemies in amusement.

"Yep, but Boris is very stubborn. Soon he'll appeal to Trixie and forget all about you, Twilight."

"So...did the plan work, Trixie?" Ben asks Trixie eagerly.

Trixie chuckles as she explains, "Yep. It sure did, Ben. That Boris is such a hunk!"

"Maybe that'll teach Boris to stop stalking me." Twilight said with a smirk on her face. Of course, she doubts it but maybe Boris will have even more better thoughts after what happened.

"Yeah, but I also bet it'll ruin his reputation as well as his standing with Sunset Shimmer." Spike laughs quietly to Phobos. "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"I'll bet you anything that Sunset's already really, really angry when she found out that Boris and Trixie were...having fun in the boiler room." Phobos remarks slyly and quietly as well.

"What does that mean, 'having fun', Phobos?" Nyx ask Phobos a bit puzzled.

"Uh...well...uh...we'll tell ya when you're older Nyxie."

"I understand."

Unknown to everyone else in the gym still, someone is watching what happened especially the conversions from inside the broom closet. Sunset Shimmer is getting more frustrated and ticked off. Her plans to delay the coronation and break up Twilight and Ben have both failed! And worst yet, the girl is losing her hold on this school as well as her chance to regain the crown which is shrinking by the moment! The Superior will not be pleased.

Sunset gathers Snips, Snails, Boris, Boxco and Dum-Dum in the closet; the first two goons are covered in streamer stuff. She snaps angrily, "You're lucky she was able to pull this off. Next time I ask you to make a mess of things, try to show a little restraint like Boxco and Dum-Dum did!"

Snips and Snails nod nervously to their boss. Sunset glared at Boris as she snaps, "As for you, what on earth have you done?! If you had kept the photos locked properly in your stupid locker, I might have advantage to gain popularity, and now we're losing. Not to mention something important, you had lost track of Benjamin Mare! This is completely unacceptable!"

Boris said in concern, "Somehow this will be the end of your reign, Sunset. I still don't know why you need him. He's just a filth. I mean you want to separate Twilight and him for good so I can take Twilight as mine."

Sunset smirked as she adds, "Perhaps. That Ben is more than just filth, Boris. But for now, I need this Formal to go on tonight just as much as she does. This will be my final phase to get that crown, even if I had to take an extreme measure."

Sunset knew that she must inform the Superior about this bad turn of events...which he won't be happy about indeed...
