          The portal trip was fascinating and magical. With the insanely bright colors in there, it's hard to not miss it and not close your eyes at the same time.
'Whoa... This is insane!' Frisk shouted in the fourth-dimensional portal tunnel since she thought Starlight couldn't hear her.
'I know right? I just finished making this!' She replied.
As they flew for a good minute or so, they stumbled upon some kind of portal network, with a few doors (well just 2 actually). One said The Crystal Empire and the other said Ponyville.
'Now where do we go?' Frisk asked.
'I'm guessing we go through the Ponyville doorway, right?' Twilight was curious too.
'Ah, yes. The portal must've been able to connect to all the different active portals in Equestria. So, with the one in your castle activated and the one in The Crystal Empire, we can go to one of these two locations. This should help speed up the process of going from one place to another.' Starlight explained, opening the doorway. 'Come on, let's go.'
The trio went through the doorway, and the exit to Twilight's castle was in sight.


Pinkie Pie was pacing around the portal, waiting for the three to come in. Suddenly, her 'Pinkie sense' made her tail start shaking uncontrollably.
'Hmm...' She thought. 'Three, two, one...'
And then the trio busted out from the portal, luckily they slid along the floor and didn't hit the wall.
'Ouch, we REALLY need to make it so that we won't land face-first onto the floor when we come out of the portal.' Starlight said to herself. She turned to Pinkie Pie. 'Hey Pinkie, guess who I brought-Huh?' Before she can say anything, Pinkie was already cuddling Twilight and Frisk like crazy.
'Welcome back!' She said.
'I didn't actually expect to be back so soon, but Starlight came over and woke me up,' Twilight giggled.
As Frisk finally got herself out of Pinkie's hooves, she wanted to ask Starlight about the portal.
'Thanks to Pinkie's fourth wall breaking skills that she used to somehow get the exact coordinates of your planet, I decided to make a portal similar to the one in the Crystal Empire and targeted your country as it's location. Now, with the portal always being active, you can visit us anytime you wish.' Starlight explained.
'That's pretty convenient,' Frisk replied.
Twilight immediately thought about her friends. 'That's right! My friends! Pinkie, are they in the throne room?' She asked.
'Well, not exactly because it's nighttime right now.' Pinkie answered. 'I told them that you were coming back.'
'I can go and take a look.'
Everypony was casually sleeping during the night. And, Twilight wanted to return to her own bed as well.
'You can stay, I don't mind.' Frisk told her.
'Alright, bye then Frisk.' Twilight replied, getting into bed.
Frisk walked back out and closed the door. 'Sweet dreams.' She said.
