"Come on Twilight, you can do it." Spike said cheering Twilight on.
Twilight was working on a new transuniversal teleportation spell, the book where she had found the spell had said it was very difficult, and that only the most powerful magic casters had ever succeeded. And those who did had never managed to find anything of intrest. Twilight was convinced that there was something just waiting to be discovered ,and thus she had set to work on learning the spell.
Her friends Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash were watching her as she cast the spell into the open skies above Ponyvillie. They could see a gaint violet colored portal in the sky, a sign that the spell was working.
"What do ya think Twilight's going to discover on the other side?" Applejack asked.
"Probably some alien life forms." Rainbow Dash replied "Take me to your leader." she said doing a poor impression of alien voices she'd picked up from reading Daring Doo.
Fluttershy was a little frightened by all of this. "I just hope that whatever's on the other side is friendly." she said "I don't want something big and scary that will cause trouble."
"For once I agree with you darling." Rarity said "We've had our fair share of troubles and I for one certainly do not need any more headaches. I'm hoping that whatever lifeforms Twilight discovers wear clothes more often than we do. I could certainly use the extra business, not that I don't have enough customers as it is."
"Ooh, ooh. I can't wait to find out because then I'll get to throw two parties." Pinkie Pie spoke up in her usually energetic tone "A congratulations on pulling off a high level spell party for Twilight. And a welcome to Equestria party for the other life forms. I'm sure they'll come to love my parties because nopony beats Pinkie Pie when it comes to parties."
"Girls please settle down." Spike said "Can't you see that Twilight is trying to concentrate."
"Sorry Spike." Applejack said turning to the others "We'll keep it down right girls?"
"Right." they all replied.
"Good." Spike said "Ooh hang on I think something's happening."
Indeed it was. Twilight had been casting the spell when she suddenly felt an unusual pain, this wasn't like the type of pain one normally felt when casting a spell, nor was it the type of pain one felt when they had exhausted all their magic. No this pain was different, it felt almost as if though there was something on the other side that had wandered too close to the portal and had been pulled in.
"Could it be that I've accidentally pulled them from their world without permission?" she thought outloud "I don't remember the book ever saying that the portal could develop a mind of it's own. All I wanted was to try and make contact with other lifeforms. I wasn't going to bring them here without their permission."
Twilight looked up at the the portal she had created, the spell wasn't finished yet but she'd used enough of her magic to keep the portal open for a few minutes. She could see what looked a like forest on the other side, it was almost like the Everfree Forest yet something seemed different about it.
Just as Twilight began to cast the spell again to power up the portal she heard something, it sounded almost like screaming. "That's not suppose to happen." she said.
The screaming grew louder and louder, but when Twilight looked up again she could no longer see the forest that was on the other side of the portal, it had closed. "But that could only mean one thing." she thought "The portal on the other end must have accidentally pulled the lifeforms from that universe into it. That means they'll be coming here soon."
And she was right, the screaming grew louder and louder, and then suddenly out of the corner of her Twilight could see something. It wasn't like anything she had ever seen before, but she knew this much, it wasn't equine.
Suddenly Applejack called out "Hey Twilight, Pinkie's tail's a twitchin!" Twilight turned to look at Pinkie Pie and she saw that Applejack was right Pinkie Pie's tail was twitching nonstop. Twilight had learned by now that this was part of Pinkie Pie's so called 'Pinkie Sense'. Different signs meant differnet things, and a twitchy tail meant that something was going to fall.
Looking up at the portal she could see the non equine life forms were about to fall out of the portal. If she didn't react fast chances are they would not survive the fall. Twilight wasted no time in focusing all her magic onto the non equines as they tumbled out of the portal, using her magic she managed to slow their descent enough to the point where they would survive. She didn't have enough magic to stop them completely due to having used most of her magic to cast the transuniversal spell but she did have enough magic to give them a soft landing. Of course she knew that regardless of the soft landing these non equines would pass out when their fall had stopped.
One by the one the non equines crash landed onto the make shift landing pad that Twilight had set up. Sure enough they all fell unconscious. Twilight wasted no time. "Spike!" she called out "Send a letter to Princess Celestia informing her of the situation!"
"I'm on it!" Spike said already writing away as fast as his claws would let him.
Turning to her friends Twilight said "Help me carry them into my house! We can't leave them out in the open for ponies to find! We don't know if they're friendly yet and we can't afford to send the whole town into panic mode!"
And so Twilight and her friends took turns going back and forth to the landing site until they had moved all of the non equine life forms into Twilight's house.
"Let's hope they're friendly." Twilight thought as she closed the door behind her.
