Chapter 3
You wake up after a restless night of sleeping on the couch, besides from the couch being too small for you to actually sleep on the position you had your head in did not help the bruising that is still painful on your head. You look at the time and notice you have awoke before even your alarm clock would wake you up. At first you’re mad at actually waking up before you need to but you get over it pretty quick. You walk to you room to check to see if Twilight is ok. To your surprise she is up. She looks at you and says.
“I don’t understand why my spell didn't work I did everything I did before.”
You kind of just nod in agreement not really knowing what to say as she continues to talk.
“I need to know where I am that way I can better understand how I can draw my magic. Tell me are we on an island away from Equestria?”
You study the word Equestria for a minute and you finally reply by saying you have no idea where that is and that you have never heard of it before she mentioned it.
“Surely you have to have heard of it? Celestia...Luna you never heard of her?”
You hear a sense of urgency in her voice so you do what you always do when you don’t know an answer; you grab your laptop and start searching Equestria. When you get no results you show her.
She studies what you are showing her and replies “what is this? A book of some kind?”
You shrug "Sure lets go with that." You never really realized how hard it would be to explain the internet to someone so you sum it up by saying its anything you wanted to know in one place.
She replies in a more excited tone “Whoa if I had one of these internets in Ponyville I would never lose a book. Not that I ever have but this would make them a lot fast to find. How does it work?”
You smile at how intrigued she is over a laptop.
You lay the laptop in front of her and start showing here how to search things.
“So anything I type will bring up that book?”
You shrug in agreement.
You look at the time and notice it is getting close to the time you would start getting ready for school.
You look at twilight and start explaining to her about how you need to go to school.
“Oh you’re a student too? You know I am the princess’s prized pupil.”
You give a nice smile just to show that you’re listening as she starts explaining her life in Ponyville as a student studying the Elements of Harmony. You listen to her story of how she and her friends got the Elements of Harmony and used them to bring someone called Princess Luna back to being good. It was a fairly interesting story but as she was telling it you keep think about star wars and the forces you smirk at the thought of this pony wielding a light saber.
You cut her story shot by telling her you really should start getting ready to go she nods her head and continues to use the laptop amazed at every key stroke.
You walk out of your room to the still destroyed living room. You stare at the room for a moment you know you don’t have time to clean up the mess so you just grab a little something to eat and head out the door.
(After School)
You honestly have no idea what you’re paying for anymore, this it the thought that is running through your head as you exit the bus and start your short trip to your house. You start thinking about the money you are wasting in college with stupid classes that you honestly don’t see helping you towards your major. As you near your house you again as always can’t wait to get to your safe haven and block out the stupidity of your daily school life. Just before you turn your key to your door you remember what waits for you on the other side… a big magic mess that still needs to be cleaned. You sigh and open the door.
Your stunned to find the inside of your house is neat and tidy and everything seems to be placed back together even things that were broke are now fixed. You think to yourself whoa this place actually looks like a house.
Twilight trots up to you smiling
You look at her "Did you do this?"
“Oh it’s the least I could do after you let some strange pony that you don’t even know stay in your house, eat your food and use your magic book.”
You nod and give a friendly smile and also make a mental note to buy more apples and other such things like that.
“You have been a very gracious host but I think its time to go I don’t want my friends worrying about me anymore. Thanks to your magic book I think I found a way to extract the magic from this land.” She looks to you for a response.
You speak in a very gentle tone as not to upset her in what you have to say, you tell her that you don’t think she should try her spell until she knows it can work.
“I won’t know if it works till I try it and I can’t wait to long its imperative I get back home as soon as possible if I’m not there the Elements of Harmony can’t be used. Without the element Equestria could fall into darkness.”
From what you understand from here story the Elements are basically a nuke disguised as a rainbow. You give her an encouraging smile as she starts her magic spell again.
“ok here I go….”
Like before a purple aura surrounds and wraps around Twilight as she begins to fade in and out.
* Poof
You wait a few minutes in silence hoping the spell work for Twilights sake. You end up waiting about an hour and you start thinking she made it back home safe… but then you remember how weak she was the last time she tried her spell, your mind is now swirling with thoughts of Twilight being hurt somewhere by herself. You know tonight is going to be a sleepless night of worrying about a pony you barely know. You don’t know why you feel for her you think it’s the big purple eyes that look so innocent or maybe it’s her inquisitive spirit. You don’t really know what it is but you really want a sign that she got home safe.
Just as you start to push thought out of your mind you hear the sound of the magic again. The sound like lightning, you know that her spell failed again you just hope she is not hurt.
Twilight reappears in a burst of purple smoke and swirls of white light. You can see that she is standing and does not seem to be hurt.
“I could not do it… it just feels like the magic in the area this world is just too small.” She studies the ground not wanting to look up.
You look at her curiously because of the word world you start thinking maybe she is an alien not a pony.
She continues talking “In my land or world whatever it’s called her love and tolerance generates magic… but in this place there is not enough love and tolerance to generate the magic I need to teleport. I can’t even send a letter home to tell anyone I’m ok…I already tried but the letter just burst into flames.”
You can’t imagine the kind of sadness she must feel at being gone for a few days and not knowing a way back home.
“If you excuse me I don’t feel like talking right now.”
She walks towards your room with a heavy head and a light sob.
You feel too bad too tell her you want your bed back so you suck it up and accepted the fact you must sleep on the couch.
