The Main 6 are currently standing in a small residential area in the middle of Peopleville. Nothing too fancy, that’s where most of the students were, actually. Some others were lucky enough to have their houses near Canterlot High. This meant less trouble with buses and other forms of transportation--like you suddenly miss a bus only to wait half an hour for the next bus and having to miss the first class.
Twilight turns to Pinkie Pie. “Is this the house?”
“According to this map we got from John, it is,” Pinkie responds, holding out a map.
“Are you excited to see your parents, Twilight?” asks Applejack.
“I am excited,” Twilight responds. “But to be honest, I’m really nervous.”
As if on cue, Pinkie joins in. “You’re nervicited! We’ve all been there, Twilight, don’t worry!”
Twilight couldn’t help but smile. This was something the pony Pinkie told her just before her crown was stolen. “I’m just worried about how they’ll react… if they’ll think I’m crazy…”
“Twilight, don’t worry!” Rainbow Dash assures her. “We’ll be right there!”
Twilight then knocks at the door. Shortly afterwards the door opens. Twilight recognizes the people who are on the other side of the door as the human counterparts of her mother, Twilight Velvet, and her father, Night Light. Twilight tries to find the words to say. “Mom…? Dad…?”
“Hello, Twilight,” Twilight Velvet speaks up, unexpectedly calm.
“Look… I have something to tell you two that may sound really crazy…”
Before Twilight could explain, Twilight Velvet interrupts her. "Let me guess. You're not our daughter but an alternate version of her from another dimension where you’re a magical pony princess whose magic crown was stolen from her and sent through a magic mirror sending into this world. So you went through the mirror, but because of something called the Nibiru, you wound up switching world and bodies with our daughter. Now the only way to get the both of you back to your rightful places is for you to win your magic crown back by becoming Canterlot High's new Fall Formal Princess."
"And Spike is actually your talking dragon friend who switched bodies with our dog so he can talk now, right?" asks Night Light.
Everyone else looks surprised.
"Whoa… weird!" Spike blurts out.
"Yes... but how did you know? How could you possibly know?" asks Twilight.
"Well,” Twilight Velvet explains, “last night we were worried when you didn't come home. We were about to call the police, when suddenly we were visited by these two guys in matching outfits both named Starswirl. They then explained everything to us and told us that the best thing we could do for both Twilights is to not be worried for either of them and that you would eventually come here once you figured out where we live."
"I thought it all sounded crazy at first,” adds Night Light, “but we had no choice but to believe them because one of those Starswirls was a human who could use magic and the other one was a talking unicorn."
Everyone’s jaws dropped to the floor, their eyes as big as dinner plates.
"Wow... those Starswirls really get around, don't they?" asks Spike.
"Well, just know, Princess Twilight,” Twilight Velvet speaks up, “even if you're not truly our Twilight, you’re always welcome here."
"And let us know if there is anything at all we can do to help you win your crown back," adds Night Light.
Twilight had difficulty with saying something. Finally she speaks up. “Thank you…”
Night Light looks at the girls that are with Twilight. "And these young ladies must be your friends: Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie."
“Thank you very much for helping out Twilight,” Velvet speaks up.
“Was nothin’, Twilight’s mom,” Rainbow Dash speaks up.
“Please, just call me Twilight Velvet. Anyway, you all should get inside. Don’t want you standing out here in the cold.”
One look at Twilight’s bedroom had her completely amazed. Maybe it was the colours that were a lot like her, or maybe the shelves filled with books everywhere. It seems that no matter which Twilight we’re talking about, she will always be a little bookworm.
Later that night, the group had decided to have a little slumber party with the group to get to know them better. Luckily she still had the book she used last time--her human counterpart apparently had a copy of the book too.
During that, Twilight went ahead and explained to the other girls about her world and what the others’ pony counterparts looked like. Rainbow Dash was thrilled to find out that her pony counterpart had wings. Spike went into great detail about pony Rarity, causing him to receive an affectionate scratch on his ears from human Rarity.
“Do you have… you know… a special someone in your world, Twilight?” asks Fluttershy.
“No…” The others could very well see that she was lying. “Okay… I may have a crush on Flash Sentry… the one from this world.”
“I knew it!” Rainbow Dash speaks up.
“But… there’s a problem with that…” Twilight admits as she looks at the mirror in the room. “I don’t belong in this world…” She places her hand over on the mirror. “I’m not even a human…” The mirror ripples showing Twilight’s true pony self. “I’m just worried that it wouldn’t work out… and when I eventually go back home… I’m worried about how he would react…”
“Do not worry, Twilight,” Rarity ensures her. “If Flash Sentry does care for you, he would only want what’s best for you.”
“Thank you, Rarity… you always know the right thing to say…”
The six go to sleep shortly afterwards.
Back at the pony world, the Mane 6 were having a slumber party of their own. The memories of Twilight’s last slumber party were still fresh in Applejack and Rarity’s minds. Twilight was upset that she doesn’t have her book on slumber parties, but Rarity informed her that their Twilight has a copy too, back in Ponyville. Unfortunately, there is no quick and easy way to get it, so they decided to do without the book. Applejack and Rarity got most of the information from experience, so they decided to go with that.
“Thanks for everything, everyone,” says Twilight.
“We are just happy we can help, Twilight,” Rarity says.
“Feels like we’re teachin’ ya the magic of friendship all over again…” adds Applejack. “Kinda weird…”
“But strangely nostalgic,” Rainbow Dash speaks up.
Twilight notices Spike trying to cuddle together with Rarity. “Spike seems to have taken a liking for you, Rarity.”
“No surprise there,” Rainbow Dash notes.
Rarity uses her magic to lift Spike closer to her. “Oh Spike… you’re such a good dog in a dragon’s body…” she says as she rubs his belly, which Spike embraces with gusto.
“Maybe we should get going to bed now?” suggests Twilight. “We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow.”
The others agree and the six go to sleep shortly afterwards.
