Teleportation. It is the best possible way to travel, and Twilight Sparkle is excited to learn how.

This story is a prequel to Blink by Ocalhoun, with permission.

WARNING: Little traumatized fillies die in horrible ways.

Teleportation - the best way to travel! Not many unicorns master this ancient spell, and even among those who do, the details of how exactly it works remain a mystery. Some even fear what it may or may not do to the caster, but nopony knows for sure.

After much studying, it is time for Twilight Sparkle to perform the spell for the first time. A simple test: Just move from Point A to Point B. But Twilight is about to find out that there is more to teleportation than she thought.

A lot more.

Set prior to the show canon.
Inspired by (but completely unrelated to) Ocalhoun's story Blink.

This story is a sequel to Blinking

Teleportation. It is the best possible way to travel... As long as you don't think about it too much.

Twilight had saved herself from the teleportation curse, she would make certain that she was the final victim.

Fan sequel to Blinking by Lumberjack. Which was a fan sequel to Ocalhoun's Blink. Permission was given for me to write this. Hope everyone enjoys.

This story is a sequel to Blink

Twilight has never thought about where she ends up in that split second when she's neither here nor there.

The results think about it. A lot.

From refined remains, a Twilight civilisation emerges, determined to warn its creator.

Part of ocalhoun's Blink bandwagon, but with no particular connection to anything else on it.

Teleportation. It is the best possible way to travel... As long as you don't think about it too much.

Twilight has succeeded in preventing her latest iteration from being trapped in this hellish void between worlds, but what will become of her now?

Well, a lot of people were clambering for a third iteration of this series, and I figured it would be nice to oblige that. I also think I needed this to help me through a particularly... long winded... bout of writer's block.

I got permission from the original story's writer, in case you were wondering.

Original by Ocalhoun: Blink
Fan-Sequel to the Original by Lumberjack: Blinking

I hope you all enjoy this as much as the first two!

Teleportation. It is the best possible way to travel... As long as you don't think about it too much.

Twilight has had plenty of time to think about it. She knows what happens when she's neither here nor there. And if she has her way, nopony will ever teleport again.

I was so inspired by ocalhoun's story that I attempted to do some writing. I sent ocalhoun a PM with the results, not expecting a response, but I got one: "You should totally publish this as a sequel! ^.^"

This is the product of that inspiration. I hope you enjoy.

When a pony named Ruby Rails is replaced by a mysterious doppleganger, it's up to Twilight to uncover the truth!

But the more she digs, the more she hopes it turns out to be a changeling plot.

Once upon a time, everypony spoke the same language.

Then came Discord, and everything changed. Was it a malicious prank? Boredom? An attempt to teach everypony a lesson? We can't ask him, because he's gone, and who knows when he'll be back.

If language is the glue that holds society together, what happens when it turns to sand?

Teleportation. It is the best possible way to travel... As long as you don't think about it too much. As long as you don't ask where Twilight goes in that split second when she's neither here nor there.

The sound I listened to as I wrote it, available to you in order to give you the option of having the same atmosphere.

No relation to the other story with the same name, just a coincidence of both picking the same excellent title. I was unaware that the other one existed.
