They arrived only seconds after they had left at the spot they left with Celestia standing there astonished. “Hello Celestia. First Celestia greetings from my past self. Secondly I am back.” Jack said.
“He isn’t gone for more than a second why should you greet me?”
“Well for him it was a few hours and he won’t see you in a few years.”
“So why didn’t you say anything to me when we met?”
“Well that would change the course of history. So why don’t we forgive and forget?”
“No I will never forgive or forget that you let me be attacked by that plant.”
“I did that because I knew I would met you that way and changing the timeline can be dangerous idiotic and it is always chaotic.”
“Well forgot that part but I won’t forget it or forgive it totally. Although I know you knew what would happen.”
“Come on what’s the problem.”
“You created a plant that attacked me.”
“You forget the self-defense part.”
“You are right about that I will forget and forgive most of it two.”
“So what won’t you forgive and forget?”
“Well that hour with you.”
“Ok that’s great because I didn’t forget either.”
“Do we have something to say either?”
“Yes but you didn’t say anything.”
“Simple answers.”
“Why not?”
“Because with complex answers you learn more.”
“No not necessary but they can confuse you and distract you.”
“And in your way of living that’s bad.”
“It can kill you if you aren’t focused.”
“How?”
“Thinking about the past or the future for that matter can send you running in circles or make you miss important details.”
“Or simply make you turn your back at something dangerous and getting hurt.”
“They have got more experience with this twilight and I agree with them.”
“Butt… butt… how can the three of you be agree over something.”
“Easy because it is a fact.”
“That sounds logical.”
“Well how about we go through gate 7.”
“All of us?”
“Yes why not.”
“I can’t I have a country to run.”
“Can’t Luna do that?”
“Yes but it won’t be easy on her.”
“The question is: what is the answer to the ultimate question to life the universe and everything? Where are the mice when you need them?”
“Why the mice?”
“Never read the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy?”
“Dam I know I should have read that book.”
“What book?”
“A book in my dimension.”
“Our dimensions.”
“Any specific mice?”
“The smart ones.”
“Who are they?”
“The white ones.”
“I will go to Fluttershy.”
“Why?”
“To get the mice.”
“See you later.” They all yelled and with that said twilight ran off.
“Why does she get the mice?”
“Well in the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy the mice were the creators of a giant biological computer which you could describe as a machine that processes information to formulate the ultimate question to the answer so they might know the answer.”
“So they must know the answer to our question.”
“Yes… yes indeed.”
“Have you ever read that book Jack?”
“You know I will never give you the answer. But yes and the next book possibly more.”
“So you know the answer but won’t give us it?”
“Yes but I give an occasional hint.”
“Like?”
“Not right now. I will be searching. And if you have got the translated answer you may call me, Twilight knows how to call me.”
And flew of breaking a cloud so it seemed like a six leaving the earth behind him and the sun and moon near Equis. Even the entire system in which it lay, tracing a signal which looked like the signal of Celestia. In his mind already having decided what he wanted to do if he was called away. The last thing would be turning back no he rather would have flied to his destination and arrive with time travel at a few moments after they called him.
“Six?” Celestia thought. And a few moments later Twilight arrived with two little white mice and twilight said: “I don’t understand anything they say. So does anyone of you speak with mice? Or does anyone have a translating machine.”
“Twilight did you forget the tardis?”
“Now you mention it yes but why?”
“Tardis translation module can translate almost any language.”
“Yes… O that is handy.”
“To the tardis then.” And so it happened. Once arrived they started interrogating the mice. “What’s the answer to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything?”
“How should we know?”
“Isn’t this the computer that thinks of the question?”
“No… what do you mean?”
“They don’t hold the answer to our question. I will look up tuwap if you try to find the answer.”
“Twilight you should know that when Jack left he made a six out of clouds.”
“Knowing him that is a hint.”
“Would he know the question?”
“Probably.” Twilight said while looking in her dictionary
“It says: 1 to meet, 2 to know be aware of, 3 to talk with, 4 to reproduce with, 5 forty-two. In total it usually is social except one thing forty-two which is coincidentally six times seven.”
“So you are thinking it is forty two?”
“Yes.”
“Six times seven is forty-two I remember that from history the lessons, it had something to do with riots over the ultimate answer first and later the ultimate question. O yes those were the ultimate question and answer.”
“Forgotten history how poor.”
“Yes but we know the answer, by know.”
“The dragon how rains Supreme and all that comes with him come to my flesh and rescue.” A moment later Jack appeared just second after that.
“What the magical word?”
“Forty-two!”
“Yes. How did you figure?”
“The mice didn’t know but, you left six and tuwap which means 1 to meet, 2 to know be aware of, 3 to talk with, 4 to reproduce with, 5 forty-two. And we thought of the question in seconds. Why didn’t they know that in your dimension?”
“It doesn’t sound ultimate but, that makes it ultimate. Than lets go if you know the answer.”
They made handy use of the two alicorns and the unicorn and teleport to the portal with the earth pony in their midst.
“Say the word ladies and gentlemen, correction mares and gentlemen.”
“Don’t you mean stallion?”
“No he is a timelord. He has a trans-dimensional form which leads to transforming his form during our travels.”
“Do you have that two?”
“Yes but I have more and much more than that.”
“Will I find it all out?”
“Maybe.”
“Tuwap.” And the portal opened, their real appearances appeared into reality.
“Me two?”
“Thought so would be obvious. You are a goddess so, yes it is clear.”
“shall we go now guys.”
“yes.” And with the weird and apparently important information shared.
