          Through the next few years, empress Frisk wanted to bring human technology into the pony world, in order to get a shot at the human world collaborating with Equestria. Surprisingly after a bit of consideration, Celestia agreed to the plan. Even though funding was incredibly hard at first, it eventually worked out. This only gave the ponies a great idea, that was the same as us humans: Increasing the level of technology in their world. But how can this be done?
The answer was simple. After the pony world has successfully changed a lot thanks to technology, the news eventually spread to the human world. This became a viral sensation, and the humans were very interested. News flashes came left and right about the discovery of this magical world, and even hit the internet. Many theories popped up on social media talking about it, with headings like:
'The discovery that shocked the world'
'Equestria: Possibly the second Earth?'
'Country discovers mythical land!'
And, this was such a viral thing, that some people even go as far to venture into the world and try to negotiate with the ponies.


One day, a teenage boy got the news of this newly found land. He was shocked that the world of his favorite cartoon actually existed.
'Interesting indeed... Equestria exists? No way!' He thought. 'I shall venture out to this world one day.'
So during the long holidays, he decided to see if he can get to this world through Britannica's portal. And thanks to his special powers from playing video games, he was able to get there without a scratch. Sneaking past all of the security cameras in the palace easily, he saw the portal in the throne room.
'When I step into this portal... I will be in their world. No one has ever gotten the chance to, but no one can catch me.' The teen thought as he stepped into the portal quietly.
However, the sound of the portal awakened Twilight from her beauty sleep.
'No... I can hear the portal, somepony has gone in it.' She thought. Trying to catch that sneaky convict, she walked up to the portal and attempted to chase after him.


When she got out of the portal, he was nowhere to be seen. She tried to ask her friends.
'Hey Pinkie Pie, have you seen somepony coming out from the portal just now?' She asked.
'Nope! If I have seen it, my Pinkie sense would've been working!' As soon Pinkie finished, her tail started shaking uncontrollably.
'Guess somepony is on the loose.' Twilight said. She saw Rainbow Dash just chilling by. 'Hey Rainbow, wanna go for a fly?'
'Yeah, I have nothing much to do anyway.' She replied.
As they flew over the everfree forest, Rainbow started to question her path.
'Uhhhh Twilight? This certainly isn't a normal route we're taking here...' She said.
'I am trying to catch an intruder, I heard someone used the portal to get into this world. He might be here since this is a good place to hide. Help me find him, I'll contact you with my phone if I see him.' Twilight explained.
'Alright, let's split up and find him.' Rainbow replied.


It didn't take long before the teen was spotted. Twilight was flying over the forest when she suddenly heard a weird sound.
'What was that?'
She landed and tried to find him when she heard weird muttering.
'You have to be kidding me... Why did it have to run out now?' The voice said.
Twilight had a mischievous smile. 'I see you now, weirdo...' She thought. She got out her phone and texted Rainbow. She immediately came over.
'He's right there,' Twilight whispered to her.
'Another human? That is definitely not Frisk,' Rainbow replied.
As soon they wanted to catch him, Rainbow accidentally kicked a small rock and made a noise. This caught the teen's attention.
'Who's watching me?' He said, turning back.
The two ponies were silent, hiding behind the tree.
'Are you going to come out, or am I going to cause a mess today?' The teen said, reaching out for his pistol.
Twilight had no choice but to shoot him with magic. The boy was pretty fast and immediately tried to shoot Twilight. Luckily, she used a shield spell. As the spell wore off, he finally realized who he almost just killed.
'Twilight? I know you,' He said.
Twilight reached out for her sword. 'Who are you, intruder?'
The boy was threatened and wanted to surrender. 'Don't worry, I come in peace.' He said, raising his arms. 'I'm a representative of the human kind, you can call me Nathan.'
As he didn't seem to have any harm whatsoever, Twilight put away her sword. 'How did you get here?'
'It's a long story. For some reason, I woke up with mythical powers one day, and since then I have been a huge spotlight in the human world. When I heard the huge news about the pony world, I had to come check it out. Through my powers, I sneaked through all security cameras easily. The reason I came is that if I can collaborate with you ponies, both of our kinds can work together and we can be unstoppable.' Nathan explained.
Rainbow came out from behind. 'That does not explain why you know Twilight Sparkle, though.'
Nathan just smiled coldly. 'What if I told you... You have been known for years already?'
'What?' Twilight was curious.
'We have this cartoon show in my world...You girls are in it.'
Twilight gasped in shock. 'Shut up.'
'Oh no, it's true.' Nathan said as he covered her mouth. 'Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Starlight Glimmer... Even you, Princess Twilight Sparkle.'
Even Rainbow was shocked and tried to back away. 'How did you know!?'
'I watched the show, duh.'
Twilight knew this might just be the way to go. If he can spread the news, it should be fairly easy.
'Come with me.' She said.


So they went back to the castle, and then Twilight and her friends discussed the matter.
'So y'all telling me, this guy came into Equestria to try and negotiate with us ponies?' Applejack asked.
'If your ruler agrees with the plan that human technology should be brought into Equestria, I don't see the reason why humans and ponies collaborating won't be a good idea.' Nathan said.
'With your spotlight in your world, you can easily cause an explosion on the topic and force the humans to collaborate with us.' Starlight suggested.
'But before I go... I have a question.' Nathan said, turning to Twilight.
'Huh? What about me?' Twilight asked.
'I want to join your group.'
Twilight hesitated a bit. She wasn't ready for this. 'You sure about it? If you are, prove yourself.' She said, reaching for her sword.
'Ah, simple.' He replied. With a clench of his fists, he had a ball of fire in his hands and fired it towards her. Her shield spell was no joke, though.
'Wow, not even I can do that!' Rainbow exclaimed.
But the teenager was far from done. 'Ha, that is nothing. Starlight, you're next.' He said as he charged a ball of energy between his hands, and blasting out the beam of energy. But Starlight was able to block that attack with her own magic... Barely.
'Wow, he is no joke!' She thought.
Nathan then tried to tease Dash and Pinkie. 'Hey Dash, try to keep up. You too Pinkie!' He ran at a crazy amount of speed.
'Game of tag, huh? Oh, it is on!' Pinkie yelled as Rainbow and she went dashing out to catch him.
After they left, the rest were speechless.
'Uhm, can we all agree that he is crazy now?' Fluttershy said in a small voice.
'Yeah, I guess you're right, we should probably stop them before anything gets too crazy.' Twilight replied.


After Nathan posted the news on social media, everyone was surprised that he was brave enough to sneak into the world. Everyone started going crazy over the human kind collaborating with the ponies. It's the same as the original trend, but this time it was much bigger. It was so popular, that some meetings that had some of the most important people in the world were held to discuss whether or not this should become a reality. And, after a long time, a conclusion was made: It is happening.
