"So... is this it?"
"On the other side of this portal," I said, "is Equestria. From what I understood, you'll turn into a pony when you go through."
Her eyes darted left, then right, "Okay," she finally replied as she followed me in.


We walked into the bush, but it didn't work, "What the hell?"
"Sunset," Jodi said, "I know this was supposed to work, but... what happened?"
"I... I don't know," I replied, "This is how everyone says she went into Equestria, and this is the portal from Jane's memory-"
"What?"
"The necklace," I admitted, "is a geode that lets me see other's memories on physical contact. That's why I 'stumbled' in the driveway."
"Is there anything else that you haven't told me?"
I sighed as the polite and approachable girl became expectant, "Just... be ready for anything," I looked her in the eye, "Can you understand that for an explination?"
"Guess I'll have to. Now," she said, putting a hand on my back, "Just calm down."
"Right. I am working with nothing here, and I don't have a link to Princess Twilight."
"Princess Twilight?"
"One of those see-it-to-believe-it things."
"And how you were able to survive a hundred mile per hour car impact?"
"Vampire. Equestrian Magic can't do that."
"Name?"
"As far as I know, that's all there is to it. Though some mothers in Equestria say they have visions of their foal's cutie mark at birth."
"Cutie... mark?"
"Like a fingerprint, except it symbolizes something you're talented at or your personality."
PING-PING PING-PING PING-PING PING-PONG
"What was that?" Jodi said, running backward.
My Samsung Galaxy S8 must've been recording this whole time.
"My smartphone! It must've recorded something!"
Jodi ran back over to me as I scrubbed the video to where I went into the portal.
It was crystal-blue. Not magenta.
