Contacting Sunset was simple once Starlight mentioned the idea. Twilight mentally kicked herself for not using the telekinesis she still had to write something until now, but that took a back seat to calling in the one remaining source of magical knowledge who could actually apply it. There was the concern that activating the portal might make the Eevee seep into the human world, but Sunset had told her about multiple instances of magic leaking into that world. That ship had already sailed.

Sunset responded in the journal almost immediately, and passed through the mirror minutes later.

The good news was that she didn't emerge as one of the red-and-yellow, fluffy, fire-breathing foxes.

The bad news was that she was somehow still human.

Twilight and Sunset both looked her over. The changes Twilight could see were the addition of a buckball cap and a tote bag to Sunset's outfit. "What," Twilight said flatly.

Then she took in Sunset's vacant stare. The way her hand went to one of the pockets of that new bag without even looking.

And, far too late, Twilight remembered that humans have instincts too.

"Pokéball, go!"
