Luna was exhausted. After teleporting half of the 6 friends to Pearson, she had never felt more agony in her limbs her whole life. Well, maybe not her whole life, but at least for the past month. A lot had happened in the past month. And as she walked across the marble floor, it hit her like a freight train what she had just declared moments ago. She had declared full-out war. That wasn't kidding. She stepped onto the escalator. Because of her long body, the bottom half of her body was on the lower steps of the escalator.
Celestia pat her sister on the back, mostly because she was feeling quite glum about the things that had happened earlier, and wanted comfort, but when her sister's head drooped down, she was feeling worse than ever. "Luna?" Celestia asked.
"Yes?"
Celestia sighed. "It's not your fault."
"I know it isn't."
"Oh, you do?" It strangely comforted Celestia to hear that from her sister. "Well, I just want to say that what happened, well, happened. You can't go back in time to change it, can you? And even if you could, nothing would change."
"I know. I heard about Twilight's failed attempt to change the future."
"Good. Just don't get stuck in the past." The two sisters were walking along subconsciously, so they both smashed right into a column.
"Ow!" They yelled in unison.
"Uhhh..." Luna groaned.
"Ohh..." Celestia groaned.
"Ouch." Twilight winced. "Are you alright?" She quickly helped the two up.
"We're fine, but thank you very much." Luna said. "Actually, I never had very much clarification on this plan. Please do tell why we needed to come here?"
"Well, you'll find out soon enough, because there's our ride!" Twilight pointed to Roger sitting on a bench.
"Um, please tell who is that?"
"That, is Roger."
"Uh... okay, if you say so, Twilight."
Twilight walked over to Roger and he waved at them. "Hey, you made it! Uh, I mean, I always knew you would succeed!"
"Our airplane tickets?"
"Oh, yes. Fine." Roger handed over a large wad of cash. "I'm guessing you know what to do with this?"
"Why, of course!" Rarity quickly picked up the cash and stopped. "Wait, I don't know much about airports, but there usually is a dreadfully long time after you buy the tickets and we need to go right now. So would you be a dear and please give us some tickets?"
Roger grunted. "Fine, take these airplane tickets to Chengdu City, where the portal is located. Take care. Go to terminal 9 and head through the first class entrance. And here are your passports." Roger quickly handed passports to each pony. "Bye."
And the ponies headed off to Terminal 9.

"It's nice to be back, is that not so?" Luna asked.
"As a matter of fact, it is." Celestia said. She smiled as she did her paperwork. "I have a meeting soon. Care to join me?"
"I'd love to."
