Rainbow Dash said with a nervous chuckle. "Yes, well, we've been missing for some time and suddenly reappear as alicorns. Ponies are gonna notice." Vinyl Scratch told the rainbow maned mare. "Right. Let's go ask Twilicorn over there if she can help us." Dash said, and walked up to the purple alicorn. "Hey Twi, can you hel-" "Rainbow Dash? Is that really you? And Vinyl Scratch too?" Twilight asked with a shocked expression. "Uh, yea. You se-" "Oh thank Celestia! We all thought you were dead! I've missed you so much." Twilight said, hugging the cyan mare. "Quit interrupting me! What do you mean, you thought we were dead? We haven't been gone for that long..." Dash said, breaking away from the hug. "Do you really not know? You two have been missing for over a year. And why do you look like the princesses?" Twilight inquired. "A YEAR? But...What happened to Wubsy in this universe?!" Vinyl asked, starting to freak out. 10 Months ago... "What is that smell coming from Vinyl's old room?" Octavia asked herself, and peeked into the room. There, she saw the corpse of a starved Changeling. She closed the door, and picked up a phone, dialing a number. "Um, yes, Dr. Mind Help? I'm going to need those therapy sessions again." Present day... "Well, it looks like we have a lot to talk about. Let's go to my house, and i'll have Spike get the other girls." Twilight said, and started leading them in the opposite direction of the library. "Um, Twi? Isn't the library that way?" Rainbow asked. "Oh I don't live there anymore. Ever since I became a princess, I've been living in Canterlot Castle. But I visit Ponyville a lot, so I bought a house here." The purple mare explained, and led them to a small house near Carousel Boutique. She invited them inside, and Closed the curtains on all windows. "Two new alicorns in town is going to have to press on the prowl. And it's bad enough you two were walking around without a disguise on." She told them. "SPIKE!" She called. "Yea, Twilight? Is that Rainbow Dash!?" Spike gasped. "Yes, now I need you to go find the other girls." Twilight told him. "On it!" He said, and raced out the door. The three alicorns sat in awkward silence, until Vinyl finally asked, "So Twilight, what's your secret to brushing this type of mane?" --- Half of an hour later, Spike came back with Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy. "*Gasp* Dashie! You came back! I knew you hadn't abandoned us! And your an alicorn! I'll have to start planning my 'Welcome Back Rainbow Dash And Vinyl Scratch And Congratulations On Becoming Alicorns Party!'" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, bouncing around in circles around the two mares. "Where have you two been? Oh, we were so worried! And your manes look absolutely lovely." Rarity said to the two alicorns. "Oh Dashie, i'm so glad you came back! I was worried something awful happened to you!" Fluttershy said, and began sobbing on Rainbow Dash's shoulder. "Oh, don't worry girls, it was actually pretty fun. And for us, we were only gone a few days." Dash told them. "Yea. Now, everypony take a seat. I can explain what happened." Vinyl said, and started talking about their experience in the other universe. "So ya'll jumped into some random portal, without talking to any of us, become alicorn princesses and forget all about us? We all thought you were dead! How could you do that to us Dash? And you too Vinyl, Octavia was worried sick about ya, especially when she found that dead Changelin' in yer room!" Applejack said, her eyes flashing with anger. "D-dead Changeling?" Vinyl asked, eyes going wide. "Hey, you try resisting a swirly rainbow portal! You just can't do it! And we visited alternate universe Twilight and Fluttershy *Shiver*" Rainbow snapped. "What about he part where Celestia overthrows you?" Twilight asked. "How did you know about that? I haven't told you about it yet." Dash inquired. "Huh? Oh, I-I don't know. Just a feeling..." Twilight said, not sure about it herself. "Well, that feeling was right. Trollestia came and stole Equestria from us. Then two OC characters appeared and we started arguing and singing at the same time!" Vinyl Scratch told them. "Er, what?" Twilight asked. "Nothing!" Vinyl said quickly. "Well, I better write to the princess about this. Maybe she can help you two. Spike, take a letter." Twilight said, and spike took out a quill and a piece of paper. "Dear Princess Celestia, Rainbow Dash and Vinyl Scratch have returned safe and sound, with quite a tale. But they have also returned as alicorns. They say that they came from an alternate universe where they were princesses instead of you and Luna. I fear they have already been seen, and it's just a matter of time until they are all over the front page of the newspaper. I await your quick reply. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle" Spike sent the letter with his green fire, and it was on it's way to the princess. "So Twilight, while we wait, do you mind telling me and Vinyl why you're a princess?" --- "My Prince, they have returned!" A light green mare said. "Good. They will pay for what they did to me. And for Celestia's sake, get me more fritters!"
