//------------------------------// // 15 Flight // Story: Forced Adoption // by Cool writer //------------------------------// One Year Later... Starswirl was busy working on the portal, making calculations, and adjusting the settings on it, trying to find the human world. The sheer multitude of dimensions made this difficult. It was easy to hop to a specific dimension when teleporting there but using a machine was... difficult, to say the least. Starswirl's usual garb was now accompanied by a steampunk sachel, steampunk goggles, and the loss of 1 wizard hat. Scree! Scree! A bolt screeched as Starswirl turned it with his arcane power. "There we go!" Starswirl said excitedly. "Now you should be up and running! It only took a year." He switched on the device and stuck his head in. "When you're rife with devastation! There's a-" Starswirl pulled his head out again. "NOPE!" He exclaimed nervously, closing the portal. "Never again!" He was getting close, that version of Equestria was spawned from the human world, even though he wasn't sure how. For a brief moment, A huge shadow suddenly crossed over the window. "Don't go too fast!!!" Jason's voice called from outside the window. Starswirl walked over to it to see Jason, Amy, and the young princesses outside. Amy was flying. "Well I'll be." Starswirl gaped. "She mastered that rather quickly." Amy wobbled in mid-air. It reminded the ancient wizard of learning magic. "Pony Jason" (or Harmony) was watching "pony Amy" practice her flying. Luna and Tia were with him. Tia wasn't too happy about how quickly Amy picked up the art, that she had tried at for years, and failed each time. "I don't get what's so great about her," Tia muttered angrily. "What was that?" Luna asked her sister. Luna had gotten DRASTICALLY better at speech, over the one year the humans had existed in Equestria. Celestia blushed. "Nothing." Luna rolled her eyes. Harmony was too distracted with Amy to notice the tension between the two sisters. "Alright! Come down Amy!" Harmony called. Amy drooped her head and floated down a bit. "Aww. You're so protective." Amy groaned. "I've been practicing for over a year now, and this is the first time I've been confident enough outside!" Amy raised her altitude a bit. "Just a little bit longer?" Jason opened his mouth to release his complaints, but Amy responded first. "Ok-thanks-bye!" Amy said in rapid succession, flying out of earshot and doing a few cocky backflips. "Am- Amy. Amy!" Harmony called out to Amy. She didn't want to hear him, so she didn't. She just kept on flying. "Amy! Oh nevermind." Harmony stopped calling for her. He just shook his head and watched Amy's flight.
