Tex sat coloring in a coloring book that Sunset gave him. Sunset on the other hand was trying to figure out how to put her letter.






	Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle,
I am wondering if you can do some digging for me. Recently I have been gifted with the worst gift ever. I don’t know who gave this gift to me, but frankly it’s annoying. Have you heard of Hybrid Corp? Or better yet, have you heard of a product known as a Tex in a Bottle.
I know you are busy as a Princess but I hope that you can help me out.

Yours truly,
Sunset Shimmer






Sunset closed the cover then looked at Tex, who appeared to be having fun. There was a part of her that wanted to make friends with him, but for the most part he seemed more like a nuisance than friend material.

“Sunset?” Tex asked. He didn’t look up.

“Yes?” Sunset answered.

“Do you like me?” Tex asked.

“This is all a little too much to take in at the moment, but for the most part you aren’t so bad.” Sunset replied.





Twilight trot through the door, her mane was singed, and there was an arrow in her flank. Starlight and Spike followed close behind, both tired and appeared to have been in a scuffle. All of them collapsed when the door shut.

“This is the last time I go to a wedding. I won’t even go to my own,” Twilight said, pulling the arrow from her flank. She cast it down then continued by bandaging the wound.

“You say that like weddings always go bad,” Starlight said, as she struggled to stand.

“Well we are like 0-3, so yeah, weddings suck.” Spike answered.

“Spike!” Twilight called out. She stood up and started heading toward the library. 

“What? I’m just telling it the way I see it.” Spike said.

“No, I mean come help me,” Twilight replied. 

Spike caught up to her and walked along side of her. He looked at Twilight with concern on his face. “Are you okay?”

“I’ll be fine, I just have to check on some things.” Twilight said. When they reached the doorway of the library, Twilight turned back to Starlight. “Get me my staff and a thermos of soup. I’m hungry but also thirsty and you can kinda eat and drink soup at the same time.”

“It will be a moment,” Starlight said. She fell over.

“Go ahead, take your time.” Twilight said. She then turned to Spike. “You know what to do.”

“Fine.” Spike said, walking away to go accomplish the task he was given.

Twilight headed into the library and noticed that the magical journal was glowing. She got it down and opened it. Her eyes skimmed the page and then she let out a defeated sigh.

“I was wondering why it was so quiet,” Twilight said. She then put the journal back. “Starlight!”

The tired unicorn inched her way into the room. “Yes?”

“Find out what you can about Hybrid Corp.” Twilight demanded.

“Yes, Twilight.” Starlight answered.

Spike entered the room with a staff and a thermos of soup. Twilight took the soup and took a gulp of the soup. “Spike, warm up the portal. We need to go pick up our idiot.”

“Tex?” Spike asked.

“Yes.” Twilight replied. Spike left to go start the portal up. Twilight walked away with her thermos of soup.

“Isn’t anyone going to help me?” Starlight asked. No one answered. 





Sunset and her friends all sat by the portal and waited for the pony princess’ arrival. Tex played soccer with Rainbow and Pinkie.

“So yer sayin’ that this feller came from a bottle?” Applejack asked. She was leaned up against the corner of the statue. 

“Yes,” Sunset said, rolling her eyes.

“Darling, you didn’t want such a handsome boyfriend?” Rarity asked.

Sunset sighed.

“H-he is kind of cute.” Fluttershy quietly said. She blushed a little. 

Then it was only Rainbow and Pinkie playing soccer. Sunset looked around for Tex. She glanced up and saw Tex creeping up behind Applejack. 

This can’t be good, Sunset thought to herself as Tex readied himself. Ninja-like he snatched Applejack’s hat and ran off to play soccer. Applejack was blissfully unaware that her hat was gone. 

“Aren’t you missing something?” Sunset asked Applejack. 

Applejack looked around her persons. Her eyes widened as she noticed her hat was missing. She looked around, finally spotting Tex with her hat.

“Ya git back here with mah hat ya little-” Applejack yelled as she chased after Tex.

Sunset smiled at the scene. Then the pony princess Twilight stepped through the portal, with a staff and a thermos of soup. She smiled at Sunset. Twilight’s expression changed once she spotted Tex.

Tex saw Twilight and stopped dead in his tracks. He was then tackled by Applejack who then reclaimed her hat. 

“TWILIGHT!” Tex called out as he hopped up. He ran over to Twilight, who then stepped out of the way.

She is going to have him run through the portal, Sunset smiled.

Tex ran into the portal head on, but was then forced back. He flew back and slammed into the school. The wall that Sunset helped repair now has a hole in it.

“I’M OKAY!” Tex yelled.

Sunset’s eye twitched in frustration.

“Now that’s interesting.” Princess Twilight said. She put her hand through the portal. “There must be some kind of spell keeping him here.” Twilight takes a drink from the thermos.

“Do you want me to go fetch Tex?” Spike asked.

“No, he’ll be here soon.” Princess Twilight said. Just as expected Tex was standing next to her.

“How are we going to get him back to Equestria?” Spike asked.

“Let’s wait for Starlight to find out some more about this Hybrid Corp.” Princess Twilight said. 

“How was the wedding?” Tex asked.

“You would’ve loved it,” Princess Twilight said.

“What are you talking about? It sucked.” Spike said.

“Why you have to lie to me, Twi?” Tex asked.

“How am I supposed to make, nearly getting killed at a wedding, sound nice?” Princess Twilight asked.

“You don’t.” Spike replied.

“Wait, that was an assassination attempt and I wasn’t there to save the day?” Tex asked. He whined then started walking around the statue.

“He said he was a hero of a battle.” Sunset said.

“That is true.” Princess Twilight said.

“I was turned to stone.” Spike said. He curled up next to Rarity.

“It was a very weird battle. Discord took my castle, I had to fight him for it…Let’s just say that without Tex’s help we wouldn’t have won back the castle.” Princess Twilight said.

“I got to ride a flying narwhal,” Tex added.

“Wow, how was it?” Fluttershy said. She stopped Tex.

“It was awesome. I was just lucky that I knew their leader and had him agree to help Princess Twilight-” Tex started to explain.

“In exchange for Equestrian soldiers to help take back their sacred lands from the Griffons.” Princess Twilight said.

“You can talk to narwhals?” Fluttershy asked.

“Yeah, I never knew I could until I did.” Tex said.

Sunset pulled Princess Twilight and the other Twilight to the side to let Tex talk to Fluttershy about narwhals. The three girls huddled up.

“How do we send him back?” Sunset asked.

“There’s some kind of magic that is keeping him in this world.” Princess Twilight said.

“Maybe I can analyze him using m-” Twilight said.

“I don’t trust Tex.” Princess Twilight said.

“It’s all we have at the moment.” Sunset said.

“I’ll have to babysit him.” Princess Twilight said.

“That’s not going to work. I have to be within 100 yds. of Sunset.” Tex said. He was lying on the ground. He was blushing. “I’m not in a very good spot.”

Sunset knocked Tex out and had Applejack tie him up. 

“Well, I guess we’re all going to have to go to Twilight’s lab so she can scan Tex.” Sunset said. All of them left with Tex to go to the Twilight’s lab. They were unaware of an accident waiting to happen.
