//------------------------------// // One // Story: The Grass Isn't Greener on the Other World // by MsIkarishipper //------------------------------// I shut the doors and windows to my tree library and home with my unicorn magic. "No distractions," I say as I head towards my special concentration book. I lay down with my purple legs below me. "TWILIGHT!" I stare daggers at my baby dragon and loyal assistant, Spike. "Spike, I love you and all but please go away." This is a time that I don't need Spike around. "Sorry. I know you're busy with you're magic and..." Spike looks around. Then he sees my angry expression. He laughs nervously. "I... I should, like, get going." "Yeah you should. Like, NOW!" I say angrily. Spike looks at me with guilt in his eyes. Tears start to fill his eyes and he leaves with his scaly head down. I feel a little bad for yelling at Spike but he deserves it. I've done this concentration exercise a billion times and Spike should know not to bother me. Everypony in Ponyville understands how important this is for me. And I've only been here for an entire year! I hear hoofs knocking on my front door. I groan. Can I ever get some peace and quiet?! "Twilight!" My five mare friends, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy gather around me as they enter the library. "Hi ladies. Sorry to be rude but please go. I'm in the middle of something." Ever since my little scene with Spike, I'm trying to be nicer when I kick ponies, or dragons, out. "Oh, we understand, Twilight. Your studies come first." Fluttershy mutters under her breath. She's shyly hiding behind her long, soft, pink mane. "I'm not studying girls. Princess Celestia sent me a spell! A new spell! It's supposed to cure and overcome anything!" Princess Celestia, our ruler of Equestria, had sent me this spell a while back. She said she wanted me to try something new. I'm determined to try now. "Well, outta' do yer best, Twilight!" Applejack calls. Everypony follows her out of my tree house. I smile. They're so kind. I walk to the place I was before and lay down. "Alright, back to business." I read the book and close my eyes. My horn starts to glow a bright pink and I try my hardest to imagine what the spell would look like if my concentrating worked. Suddenly, I hear a crash. My violet eyes open and I see a bright, white light getting dimmer and dimmer every second. Instead of looking at the inside my tree home -which is usually a library filled with books- I'm in some kind of fancy place. Maybe even fancier than Canterlot Castle! "Spike!" I call out. No answer. I run towards the door and when I open it, I don't see Ponyville anymore. No ponies whatsoever. But instead, these two legged creatures walking and they are smiling and greeting each other. I look down at my pony body but instead it was replaced by a... human body. I scream. What could I have done wrong?
