Twilight looked that way to see that Scootaloo – the human version of her – was stuck out in the middle of the lake, finding it difficult to swim. “I’ll save you!” Twilight said. Then she realized that she had never learned to swim. “Help me!” she shouted. “Somebody help us!” “I’ll save you!” a voice called from the edge of the lake. It was Bulk Biceps, in human form of course since by now it should be clear that this was the Equestria Girls world. He was the lifeguard for the lake, but had been distracted for a minute by something happening on the shore. Swimming out into the lake, he saved both Scootaloo and Twilight on the same trip, holding each in one arm and paddling with his legs. “Thank you!” Scootaloo said to him, and she ran away to rejoin the other Cutie Mark Crusaders. “Thanks!” Twilight said, and blushed. “No problem,” Bulk Biceps said. He walked back to his lifeguard post. “Huh,” Twilight said. She was still confused as to why there was a well in Manehattan, but apparently it had been a portal to the Equestria Girls world. Considering the portal she had come through was somewhere up in the sky over the lake, she figured she wouldn’t have much luck getting back through it. So she needed to get to the school. “Do you know where Canterlot High is from here?” she asked Lyra Heartstrings and Sweetie Drops, who were holding hands and sharing an ice cream cone that Lyra was holding in her free hand. “Yeah, it’s about a hundred miles that way,” Sweetie Drops said. “Why?” “Wait, where are we now?” Twilight asked. “Summer camp!” Lyra said. “Wait, is this Camp Everfree?” Twilight asked. “Yep!” Lyra said. Twilight had heard about Camp Everfree from Sunset Shimmer, but had never been there herself. She walked around the lake, trying to figure out how she was going to get home. She was still holding her copy of “What Are You Doing? Buy This Book Now!” by Flimmy McFlammerson. Suddenly, she bumped into somepony…er…somebody. “Sorry!” she said, and the other person said “Sorry!” at the same time. “Wait, it’s…hi, Twilight!” they said together. Twilight had run into the version of Twilight from the human world, who shall henceforth be referred to as “Human Twilight.” “How’s it going?” Human Twilight asked Twilight from the pony world, who shall temporarily be known as “Pony Twilight” even though she’s also a human right now. “Fine,” said Pony Twilight. “Cool,” Human Twilight said. “But why are you here?” She was curious, not judgmental or anything. “I’m not sure,” Pony Twilight said. “I fell through a portal in a well in Manehattan and ended up here.” “That’s how I got here!” a voice said from behind Pony Twilight. She turned and saw a human who seemed familiar, yet unfamiliar at the same time.
