Chapter 1

"Stop! Get out of here!" Twilight screamed at us. Unaccustomed to being yelled at, albeit by Twilight, AND with a giant ball of magic in the room, we stood frozen in the door. The mass shimmered and convulsed. Twilight turned...
...and got a full blast of magical energy to her face. She was knocked down, stunned. We ran in to help her.
"Twilight!" Lyra called. "What the buck is going on?!" Twilight groaned and got to her hooves.
"Portal...magical field...too powerful...in over my head..." she collapsed again, and Lyra and I exchanged glances. We looked again to the magic orb which began to glow and writhe again. Suddenly it exploded, and me and Lyra were knocked back to the wall.
I blacked out for a couple seconds, and when I came to, the orb was gone. In its place was a floating figure. Twilight groggily got to her feet. "Oh no...."
"What?" I tried getting up.
"This is bad, this is really bad!" she ran over to the figure which had collapsed on the floor. I helped Lyra up and we hurried over.
"Wait...is that?" Lyra gaped. "I think it is!" Left in the dark, I dumbfoundedly followed. Twilight rolled the figure off of its stomach, revealing a strange face with a pushed in nose and no obvious fur.
"Lyra...is that a...?"
"It is!" she bounced up and down excitedly. "A human! A real human! I bucking love you Twilight!" Twilight stared down at the huddled figure, eyes full of an emotion I couldn't place.
"Twilight? What's the matter?" I inquired curiously.
"This isn't what was supposed to happen..."
"Then what was?"
"The spell was supposed to-"
"Look! It's waking up!" Lyra interrupted. We all looked down upon the creature as it slowly opened its eyes. It slowly looked around at us, its mouth agape.
"...am I dreaming again?"
