Derpy Hooves landed outside her apartment in Manehattan.

She smiled and walked in to her husband, the famous Doctor Hooves, or Time Turner as others call him, cooking while looking over their two daughters, Sparkler and Dinky.

"I'm home!" She called out, hugging her two daughters and kissing the Doctor's cheek. "I'm sorry I had to work late."

"Mom, your friends came by earlier." Sparkler said, nudging to a picture frame containing a college photo of Lyra, Bon Bon, and Derpy all hugging. "They said that you should meet them in the park later when you got home." Derpy smiled at her daughter and rubbed her head. She walked back to the door.

"Ooh! Ooh! Mommy, can you take us to the park too?" Dinky said eagerly. Sparkler rolled her eyes and smiled. Derpy walked over to Dinky and let her get on her back.

"Of course, muffin. Doctor, are you coming?" The cross eyed mare asked. The Doctor chuckled and joined his wife by the door.





The Hooves family made it to the park Lyra and Bon Bon told them to meet at. Derpy told Sparkler and Dinky to go play while she looked for her two friends. She found Lyra sitting on a bench in her odd way, excited. Upon seeing Derpy, she ran over to her, grabbed her hoof, and led her over to the fountain in the middle of the park. Hiding in the bushes with Bon Bon, she pointed to 4 ponies.

One was a Blue Pegasus with glasses and black hair, talking to his 3 associates. One was a magenta Unicorn with white hair, staring at the Pegasus. A Green Unicorn with a black mane was staring at a red earth pony with sunglasses and a spiked white mane. The Pegasus's cutie mark was a green worm-like thing, The magenta unicorn's a skull, the green unicorn's a dog head, and the Earth pony's a record disc. 

"...Why am I here, Lyra?" Derpy asked.

"You know what they said earlier? They said that they had HANDS! Also they weren't from here and possibly another world, but HANDS!" Lyra said eagerly. Derpy groaned at her friend's obsession with the fictional creature known as a "Hew-man". 

"If we go talk to them, will you let me go home?" 

"Sure!" 

Derpy walked out of the bush, followed by Lyra and Bon Bon.

"...And this is how close I can get to the windy thingy." The Blue Pegasus flapped his wings quickly. "What should we do, Dave?" Dave shrugged.

"We could ask the locals." The Green Unicorn asked.

"Or we could keep wondering how we got here. CURSE YOU BETTY CROCKER!" The Pegasus yelled.

"Who's Betty Crocker?" Bon Bon asked, walking close to the 4 with Derpy, Lyra rushing forward and getting into the magenta Unicorn's face.

"Ohmygoshwhoareyouwe'vebeenspyingforthepastfewminutesareyoufromanotherworldDIDYOUHAVEHANDS!?" She asked quickly, The magenta Unicorn pushing her away.

"We are from another world!" The Pegasus said, saluting. "And yes, we did have hands." Lyra's eyes sparkled as she stared at him.

"Who are you guys?" Bon Bon asked, her voice notably changing.

The Blue Pegasus stood up. "John!"

Dave waved.

The two unicorns were "Rose" and "Jade."

"Sooo how did you get here?" Derpy Asked.

"We don't know." John said.

"Well, I know a friend that might!" Lyra said eagerly. "I know Twilight Sparkle, best unicorn in Equestria! She can find a way to send you back!" She hopped in place, smiling at the 4. She grabbed them and her friends, then perched on the fountain.
"TO PONYVILLE!"


"...Lyra, put me down." Bon Bon said.
