The mane six, plus Starlight and Spike had gathered in the castle to watch Twilight try out some new spells. Most were simple, including one that gave earth and pegasus ponies fake horns.
"OK you four here we go," Twilight said to Applejack, Pinkie, Dash, and Fluttershy as she started the spell. After about 15 seconds of concentration beams shot out of her horn for their heads, and instantly they had their own.
"Oh my. I'm an alicorn now", Fluttershy said.
"Aww yeah! Eat your heart out Cadance!" yelled Dash.
"Welcome to the elite you two," Rarity said to Pinkie and AJ.
"It's nice but it interferes with mah' hat," Applejack replied as she tried to put her hat back on.
"Tee hee hee this is awesome! Even though it doesn't work I've gotta find a use for it," Pinkie said. Then for just a second there was a faint trace of magic aura.
"D...did I just see some magic come from Pinkie's?" Starlight said.
"I saw it too!" added Spike.
"Well that's weird. Must have been left over from the spell", replied Twilight.
"So how long does it last?" Dash asked.
"Until I switch it back," Twilight replied. She then zapped them again and the horns were gone.
"So does it only work on ponies?" Commented Spike. Twilight then zapped him, giving him a horn, making the others laugh.
"Behold Princess Spike!" cracked Starlight.
"GAAAH get it off!" Spike yelled as he tried to get it off. Twilight giggled and zapped him back.
"So what do you think Starlight?" Twilight asked.
"Pretty good," She then zapped Twilight with her own spell. She now had two horns and four wings.
"GAAAAAAAAAH!!" Yelled Twilight. The others laughed.
"But easy," she said as she changed Twilight back.
"OK you got me," replied Twilight. "You did give me an idea though."
"Like what?" asked Starlight.
Twilight concentrated for a bit, then hit Glimmy with a beam, changing hers to a kirin horn.
"A kirin horn"? Starlight tried using her magic and the horn glowed like a kirin's does, and her magic still worked.
"Hey it's working!" Dash said.
"I'm definitely going to work on that one some more. Maybe I can do a full kirin transformation spell," Twilight said.
"Can you change it back now?" Starlight asked. Twilight hit her with a magic beam again, and her horn returned to normal.
"So what's next?" Rarity asked.
"The big one. As you know I can teleport myself and others to a location, but only to one spot. I've been working on one that will teleport ponies to two or even more spots.
"That could be handy, but how much magic power will it take?." Starlight asked.
"That I don't know, and won't until I try it," Twi replied.
"And you need us to try it out on right?" asked Applejack.
"Yes. To be safe we'll split into only two groups. Applejack, Fluttershy; you'll come with me.
"Are you coming with us Starlight?" Rarity asked.
"No thanks. I'll stay here", she replied."If you get it to work I'd definitely like to learn it though."
"Sure," replied book horse." Now get together in groups everypony." And the two groups gathered.
"So where will you send us?" Fluttershy asked.
"I'll send us to the Dragon Lands, and them to Rainbow Falls," she replied. "Ember has a couple of books on dragon culture she wants to give me."
"Well let's do it then!" exclaimed Pinkie Pie.
"See you later," Spike said.
Twilight's horn started glowing as she started the spell. It took a bit to ramp it up, then just as she was about to unleash it, the castle door burst open.
"Mail is here!" Derpy had crashed into the door and skidded inside, startling Twilight as she cast the spell. Both groups disappeared.
"Where did they go?" Derpy asked.
"Twilight was trying a spell that sends them to two different places. I hope you didn't mess it up," replied Starlight.
"Oops. Sorry," replied Derpy.
"I've got a bad feeling about this," added Spike.
