//------------------------------// // The chapter in which 'Techie is most definitely surely bored out of his mind and has little motivation to continue other than a slow weekend // Story: Toaster Waffles Are Magic // by TheMajorTechie //------------------------------// Once everypony had calmed the crap down, Twilight began to make her way towards the portal room, accompanied by Spike, as per usual. "So, Changelings turn into cats in the Portal Realm?" she asked, taking another look at the cat photo Spike had provided. "Yup." Spike replied, "I saw Thorax there myself, when I had to take him through on the basis of diplomatic relations with interdimensional species." Twilight frowned. "So, you were a dog, showing a cat around, in a world where stray animals are scooped up and put in the pound?" Spike shrugged. "Hey," he replied, "At least I found out that I can still breathe fire as a dog... and it's not like we were captured or anything by the scary man wearing a dirty apron..." "What." "What?" "What?!" "Exactly." Twilight promptly slapped Spike with a hoof as the two entered the portal room. Spike didn't mind, as a slap to the face from a goddess must be a good sign for times to come. Either that, or the universe decided to play extra-stupid that day... Nopony shall know... Spike eyed the portal nervously, and unfortunately, this nervousness was immediately noticed by Elder Goddess Twilight, sees all, knows all, does all, and rap--. Suddenly, Pinkie appears from a portal, and whacks the author with a newspaper. Something about "Keeping it Family Friendly". "So... you want to go back through with me?" He asked, pointing a claw at the swirly depths of the mirror, "Like, go through the portal with you, a-and face the scary apron guy?" Twilight raised a brow, teleporting a very confused Thorax into the room. "I'm guessing that that's a yes." Twilight nodded, stepping into the portal with Thorax and Spike in tow, the latter of which was currently screaming in terror about a dog catcher who resembled a butcher. That is, the same guy who had been looking for Spike and Thorax ever since Spike burnt down the pound. A strong wind blew through Twilight's hair as she exited the portal, a cat and dog both hanging under her arms in her grasp. The girl looked down, first towards Spike, then towards Thorax, who strangely had a blue bow tied around his neck. SUDDENLY, A LARGE SHADOW APPEARED OVER GODDESS TWILIGHT, AND THEN THE WORLD WENT BLACK.
