After we had settled down and gotten the human sitting on the couch (with Lyra close beside), we had Twilight explain what had happened.
"I was trying...to make a portal to their world," Twilight explained. "I guess I didn't...do it quite right...I think I may have reversed the portal? So instead of it going to there, it led to here. I guess it's just bad luck the human fell through,"
"Excuse me?" the human piped up. "I have a name. I don't like being referred to as "the human","
"Oh. Sorry. What is that name?"
"Dean. Dean Smith,"
Meanwhile Lyra was muttering to herself and examining every inch of the huma- er, Dean's- anatomy.
"So, are you male or female?" she inquired after the conversation had died down.
"I'm sorry what?"
"Are you a colt or a filly?" she giggled.
"I'm...male, and in my world they call them guys or girls, or whatever,"
"Interesting...tell me more about your world,"
"That's quite enough Lyra," I said. "I'm sure Dean's very confused about what's going on and just needs a little while to rest,"
"Actually, I'm quite aware of what's going on,"
"You do?" Twilight inquired curiously.
"Yeah, uh, you see...in my world, we sorta, uh...hehe...." he chuckled nervously.
"Well, spit it out!" Lyra leaned in so as not to miss a single word.
"We sort of...watch you guys,"
"I KNEW IT!" Lyra exclaimed, throwing her hooves into the air. "So, is it like a crystal ball, or staring into a mirror, or what?"
"Actually...we have these uh...t.v.s. And, well, there's a screen on them, and we just watch your antics and stuff,"
"Cool!"
"That's actually kinda creepy Lyra..." I said, but she was too excited to listen. I sighed and asked Twilight, "Is there any way you can figure out how to fix the spell and get him back before anypony finds out and causes a huge ruckus?"
"Actually...I'm ok with being here for a little while..."
Twilight glanced at him. "He is taking this surprisingly well. And you'd better be prepared to stay for awhile, because that spell can only be cast once a month,"
"WHAT?!" both Lyra and I screamed at the same time, me in frustration and Lyra out of joy.
"Guess I'm stuck with you guys for a bit, huh?"
