The only sound she heard was gentle breathing all around her as Flaky woke up. She slowly blinked open her eyes, only to find herself in a pile of hay. "Wahh...?" She murmured groggily, sitting up. Or, rather, attempting to. She momentarily began to hyperventilate when she realized she couldn't move her hands, before remembering that she did not, in fact, have hands anymore. She let out a breath, relived that she wasn't dying. Standing up, she pushed aside a pile of dandruff and began to pick her way over the large pile of bodies. Flippy twitched, muttering something about not swallowing grenades, before laying still again.
After successfully walking the minefield, Flaky began to pull the barn door open. "Well howdy, partner." Said Applejack, who had been about come and wake them up. "Aaghhh!" Flaky let out a scream, surprised that someone- err, somepony- was there. A loud thump sounded as Splendid woke up and, in an attempt to 'save' whoever was in distress, flew straight into the ceiling. Flippy sat straight up, ears perked, and stared at Flaky for just a moment too long before shaking his head and beginning to pick pieces of straw out of his tail. Everyone else was sitting up groggily.
Applejack chuckled. "Well, guess ah don't need to make a wakeup call then." She said with a smile. "...Sorry." Flaky muttered, with her signature embarrassed laugh. "Breakfast's ready, everypony!" Applejack yelled, before turning and trotting off, nodding at Flaky over her shoulder as she left.
Slowly but surely, they all began to get up. Well, everyone except Handy, who couldn't get himself up. He ended up hovering over everyone else, looking upset. They all filed out of the barn, and towards the farmhouse. Applejack was waiting outside, plates set on the ground. They all obviously wouldn't fit into the dining room.
They ate, and Applejack told them more about Equestria. Lumpy hit several heads with his horns, apologising each time. Splendid got told to 'shut up by everyone there, even Applejack after awhile, when he wouldn't stop rambling on about saving people. The twins, eventually, ended up choking him with an apple pie and left him to gasp for breath in a corner. Applejack seemed slightly worried by the the violence, which confused Flaky greatly. Wasn't that normal? She thought, before getting distracted by Flippy offering her some of his food, since hers had acquired a pile of dandruff. She smiled, accepted gratefully, and took a small portion of his food. He didn't eat much, anymore, anyways.
After breakfast, they all headed back to the Library, to see if Twilight could get them back home. Handy had to fly above the Mole and direct him, to keep him from running into other ponies. Lammy walked along the back, depressedly, with a pickle on her head. She looked mildly crazy to passers-by. Cuddles found himself depressed that he could not, in fact, skateboard in this form.
Eventually, they reached the library. They all found it a bit weird that someone lived in a library. Except the Mole, who had not yet realized that this was a library. Twilight greeted them with a smile, and let them all in. Lumpy had a hard time getting through the door, since it didn't cross his mind to turn his head sideways until Twilight turned it for him. "Ahh-hahh!" He said, grinning triumphantly and trotting in. Flaky sighed and shook her head.
"Ahh, Miss Twilight?" Flippy asked, politely, as he walked up the the mare. "Yes?" She said, turning around to face him. She wondered if this nice colt could really be crazy, with how nice he was. "Do you have any history books here? I'd like to read one." Twilight smiled. "Yes, of course! Over here..."
In another corner, Cuddles And Giggles lay on a couch together, flipping through some magazines that had been left on the table.Petunia sat next to them, furiously scrubbing dirt off the table.
The Mime stood in a corner, Miming.
Splendid ended up staying in the air, because whenever he landed, the twins began pestering him. They had already stolen three books and were currently sitting on them.
Twilight stared at the odd bunch for a moment, and let out a sigh. "Well, it'll be one weird five months..."
