Kayla thought and thought as the science period went by. If there was a possibility of multiverses, then that meant that there could've been two Fluttershys: the bipedal one and a feral one, which was a little tough to grasp. 

"But wait a minute, you know if someone travels to another universe or dimension, depending if the dimension has magic, that being would transform into a version that could adapt to whatever conditions present in the universe/dimension..." Kayla stated.

"But if that was the case, then we would have different forms too...like there could be pony versions of ourselves where Flora is from." I supposed. 

"I bet Kayla's pony version is just as obsessed with all this as her human self..." Lenny said with a chuckle. Kayla blushed lightly at the comment. 

The science period went by and soon school was out for the day. We all decided to meet at the park and continue our little chat. As time passed, Kayla started to grow more curious and put forth deeper insight to the discussion. 

"...I mean, think about it guys. What if we were the chosen ones to travel through the jump points. As I said, we would transform into ponies ourselves." Kayla said. 

"So that basically rules out the theory about multiverses. Every universe has its own dimension, which means that if we were to travel to a place in that specific dimension, we would transform in order to adapt to said place." Lenny said.

"Totally reminds me of Darwin's theory." Kayla said.

"That's a little different...this is dimensional travel we're talking about...not evolution." I commented looking at Kayla.

"True, but still, every dimension has its quirks, which means that those living in them must learn how to adapt to those quirks..." Kayla said. She was about to tack in to her sentence but stopped herself, since it would mention Flora's real name. 

Science period soon came to an end and we went to our final class for the day. It was that boring philosophy class that I had to take. It felt like the teacher was trying to feed us things beyond our understanding leaving us all wondering why we had to learn it in the first place. Kayla was also in this class, Fluttershy just sat there with a very clueless look on her face. Fortunately, class was shorter today, but that meant we had a quiz coming up. The bell rang and school was out for the day.

"Ugh...it's about time...free from school...and it's Friday...which means the weekend is here." I said with a sigh of relief. 

"Now we can absolutely continue our studies on those jump points." Lenny said. However, Kayla had a different plan. The philosophy lesson today really intrigued her about seeking knowledge, and combining that with the fact that Fluttershy was from a completely different world, Kayla just had to delve deeper. 

"Hey Fluttershy...I hope this isn't too much but...I'd really like to interview you about where you come from and who you truly are..." Kayla said suddenly. 

"Oh boy...here we go." Lenny said. 

"Relax Lenny, this could answer questions that have been left hanging..." I deduced as we walked to our cars. 

"U-uhm...a-an interview...?" Fluttershy asked stopping. Fluttershy looked quite nervous.

"Don't worry Fluttershy...I really wanna get to truly know you and where you come from. See...all my life I've always been fascinated by how things are connected, and I really want to know just how our worlds are connected..." Kayla went on for a bit. I looked at Lenny and Fluttershy sort of curled up just a little.

"Just...don't overwhelm Fluttershy okay? I sense she misses her home and her friends. Heck, we don't even know when the jump points will line up again...it could be a while...months...maybe years...then what?" I asked. Fluttershy let out a little sniffle. 

"Y-years?" She asked sniffling again. I hugged Fluttershy close. 

"Don't worry Fluttershy. You're safe with us and when we figure things out, we will make sure you're home safe and sound with your pony friends. Now hurry along then. Kayla's waiting for you." I said. 

"O...okay..." Fluttershy said with a gulp, walking towards a room where Kayla was. Kayla had written down some questions and had them all set for Fluttershy.
