Chapter 9
I poked my head carefully into the lab. Glanced around, a shield at the ready.
Nothing exploded or looked like it would, "Is it clear?"
Midnight poked her head out from the other room where they kept the books, "is what clear?"
"The lab. Nothing will shrink me or explode me or something?"
Midnight stepped out in the main room, "No, just get in here," she said, rolling her eyes.
Pushing the door open, I slipped inside, "So, what's up?" I asked as I looked hesitant at a bottle of bubbling purple liquid sitting on the table.
"Don't worry, that's an experiment for enchanted wine," Midnight said, "It's to always keep carbonation."
"Oh," I said and relaxed, "So it worked?"
Midnight made a small sour face as she walked up next to me, "A little too well. It never loses carbonation."
"So, wasn't that the point?"
"Even after you drink it."
"...Oh."
That sounded unhealthy.
…Wonder what they tested it on?
"Anyway, that's not what I wanted to talk to you about," Midnight said and ignited her horn, causing several scrolls with charts to float out of the book room, "I wanted to fill you in on the readings from the dome."
I looked at her in slight alarm, "Anything wrong?"
She shook her head, "No. It seems stable. But as Twi has been too busy to check up on it," she said, smiling at me, "I figured I should keep an eye on it and thought you would like a report."
"...Sorry, we kind of heaped all of that on you, didn't we?" I asked with a small frown and shifted my wings, "Sorry. Didn't mean to do that."
She stuck her tongue out at me, "Relax, you all have Luna visiting. You all deserve some time off."
"So do you."
"I have been. Cut most work other than checking the readings for the last couple of nights," Midnight admitted with a shrug, "But it's really fascinating. Getting a lot of things we didn't with the first smaller one."
"Oh? Like?"
She floated one of the scrolls onto the table and flattened it out, "Well, for one thing, the-"
The door opened to interrupt her and Talon walked in, carrying a stack of books, "Here are the books you wanted!"
"Thank you," Midnight said, shooting him a smile, "Put them on the table?"
"Sure thing!"
I looked after the dragon for a second, "I swear, he’s a little bit taller everytime I look," I told her quietly.
"He's growing," Midnight answered softly, "Still a baby dragon, but... he's growing faster than I am now."
So was Spike.
Wonder how big they'd get, some dragons were absolutely massive.
Talon returned to the main room to join us, "...Page, you have a minute?" he asked as he got close.
"Sure," I said and smiled at him, "What's up, Talon?"
"I have been thinking," he said and glanced at Midnight, "I want to join the guard."
I blinked at him in surprise, "Really? Why?"
"Because I want to help my home," he said and then looked nervously at Midnight, "I know I help out around here, but I could do a lot more keeping the village safe there. I'm strong, not smart like you. All I can do here is fetch things and hold a wrench. I could do a lot of good in the guard."
I glanced at Midnight. She looked thoughtfully at him,
"...I don't know," she said after several long moments, "The guard can mostly fly, you don't have wings."
"Plenty of earth ponies and unicorns in the guard too. Neither do they."
Midnight didn't look happy, "It's dangerous."
"Everything here is dangerous!"
I felt a small tremble beneath my hooves and I glanced at Midnight. Nope, not her. No flowing mane nor glowing eyes.
Talon turned to me, "Please? You know I could do a lot of good there."
"Talon, you're not old enough to-" Midnight started to say before he interrupted her.
"I'm older than some of the ponies in the guard! I'm only six years younger than you!"
And that's my cue to duck out of this before it get wor-
The vibrations got worse before a giant blue whirling portal opened in the air above us.
I had just enough time to look up in surprise before it sucked us in.

well that certainly escalated fast
Eh? Where to?
Chrysalis: *burp* Urgh...
Skitter: I warned you!
Chrysalis: I didn't think they would *gurgle* poison the wine...
Skitter: If you would just ask him directly like a normal changeling, you wouldn't be in so much pain.
Chrysalis: Never! *burp* That devious predator would take *gurgle* it as a sign of weakness!
Skitter: That's not-
Chrysalis: Perhaps it's not too *gurgle* late. Guard, take me to the pony Prince!
Skitter: Well, that might be a little difficult at the moment...

I'm guessing the people in Midnight and Talon's original world finally found them.
11289289
That, or there Starlight was sick of whatever relity she stranded in and summoned them to helpher escape that place
The end maybe connected to:
-Discord fixed his mistake?
-Starlight Glimmer has come to reverse her spell since she had to live in a horror timeline?
-The Alicorn statue was insulted about being forgotten and summen a meeting to talk about it!
-Some try summon a sexy Alicorn, spell got confused and sucked Page & Midnight in. Spike/-Talon just got in the crossfire again
-Reminds me of a comedy Alicorn story where on a daily basis portals try steal a Alicorn Foal for their individual gains for the 'greater good'.
Hilariouse story
ah, it seems Pone-prime has found its twilight
I know thinking with Portals is a thing... But this was redicules random... Pinkie Pie Prime has come to party all missed B-Days!!!
11289240
Random fun event started.
11289260
Narnia would need some bedroom Furniture. Wonderland is a rabbit hole... I guess Chaosville?
Discord B-Day perhaps?
11289285
Infinity world burp record, farting contest?
I wonder if this stuff could be used for Mars to be Terraformed in atmosphere...
If Midnight and Talon return to Equestria prime it will break Tempest Shadows heart! Don't sepetate lovers! We just get another supervillain story otherwise
11289297
Sounds about right...
11289303
Maybe Discord Prime? As long OptimusPrime is not involved, things might turn out to be more reasonable...
Who did Portal them in?
-Skynet Terminator ?
-Narnia without closetroom Furniture?
-Alice of Wonderland that needs the power of Friendship?
-Equestria Prime to battle Pinkie Pie Prime B-Day premium purple pony party ?
Find out next time in

Optimus Prime is just the true avatar of truck-kun though
but he usually does the whole murder isekai not the portal ones
Ohh my! Welp should be fun to have a male Alicorn dropped in there universe.
Discord:
*jerks up* Oh dear...that just happened!
Cadance:
What's wrong?
Discord:
The plot of the story! It is moving!
Sunburst:
I thought you said we had at least 6 more chapters before Hiver does anything..
Discord:
Well it just moved REAL quick and went to a place we can't follow! Midnight and Talon are gone too.
Maybe Amber as well but we are not sure yet..How are we going to do our shipping observation properly?!Shining:
Discord..that's the least of your problems. This occurred just after you were allowed to publicly join Nocturnis. You'll be the prime suspect!
Every pony in Nocturnis: DISCORD!!! WHAT DID YOU DO?!
Discord:
Buck! Buck! Buck! Hide me! HIDE ME!

Hey, if we go by Discord's phrasing of it, she'll keep her horn, since it was undoing the transformation to being a Thestral that would undo her horn restoration. Since Page is now 'stuck' as a Thestral, well... I guess she gets to keep her horn.
Oh no! Maybe back to their own dimension but with page included?
Starlight could still be a threat in the other timeline
Reference to The Mouse On The Moon, I see. Wonder how long it'll take for the Nocturnis Space Program to get going, based on that.
Also oopsie! Probably a rescue gone wrong, but I'm holding out hope for EaW. That would both mess with Page's head in so many ways and also is pretty feasible, given some of the things that go on in that world at times. Let's just hope in that case it wasn't the Pentarchy...
No grammar jackboots two chapters running, nice!
What ever happens... Luna misses already limited snuggel time
11289376
I love this ... This comment section stuff should be added to the chapters
11289352
Breeding the new generation before departing
11289328
Murder to Isekai others?
11289426
One can only hope...
11289301
That doesn't sound like confusion to me, just a simple "mare or stallion? Actually never mind, I found one of each in close proximity".
11289315
My guess is somepony in the Canon universe found a way to find Midnight & is properly pulling her back.
And there it is. . . I wondered when the other shoe would drop.
Hiver you are gonna piss off Discord with all this Chaos!!!!!
Well... that happened
Hmmm, one theory is that someone from Midnight and Talons world did this to try and get them home and Page just happened to be to close
Ok, place your bets on how many chapters it will be before Page and Midnight are sleeping together
11289376
And Discord was thus murdered by a thousand batponies and his corpse lashed up to be eaten by the next big predator for the crime of allegidly making Mango King disappear
Wha-you-no…
YOU CANT JUST DO THAT!
11289912
I think she’s about to find herself going home... once they deal with a particular demented cult leader slash time breaker, anyway.
This chapter reminds me of a comedy where portals try constantly to foalnap a Alicorn for their own ends...
That's some Cave Johnson level science there... xD
Calling it now - Discord read Page's mind and created that portal to put a series of events into motion that will result in either Fluttershy or Sunset becoming Alicorns, maybe both even.
11295884
Would that be the story about Nope the alicorn?
Here I was, getting ready to post a snarky/angry comment about Talon not having his wings yet, when Suddenly, a Wild Portal appears! (I'm almost willing to bet it's a prank by Luna.)
If Page has been in Equestria for a decade, as an earlier comment suggested, then Spike & Talon should've grown their wings at least two years ago. The poor hippogriffs are still stuck undah da sea. I guess Starswirl & Friends are still trapped in Limbo. Moon Glow's daughter Cozy should have been mentioned by now. We also should've met at least one of the Young Six. I'm glad that Luna and Celestia didn't retire.
