Apple Jack trotted through the maze-like corridors of the place for quite a while, but she eventually ended up at the throne room doors. She pushed them oped gently and walked in nervously.
"Hello Apple Jack, how can I help you?" asked the princess warmly. AJ took of her hat, held it to her chest and bowed her head.
"Princess, we need yer help, Twilight was tryin' a new spell and it failed. Then Ah woke up and saw these two massive hairless creatures in the middle of the room, left a note for the others and set off to find you as fast as possible!" She muttered, still a little out of breath. The princess raised an eyebrow at AJ briefly.
"Excuse me?"
"Ah saw two odd lookin' creatures lay on the ground and came to get your help, what if they're dangerous?" AJ replied.
The princess still didn't really understand what had happened but decided she should take Apple Jack's word for it. It's not like it was a lie, she was the element of honesty.
"Ok, let's take the chariot"
Princess Celestia and AJ got into the gold chariot and set off, pulled by two of the princess' royal guard Pegasus.

Not much time had passed before Fluttershy and Pinkie emerged from the cottage door, each holding a tray with plasters, bandages and burn cream on top of it.
"Here you go, this should help a lot." said Fluttershy.
"Yep! We want our new friends to have a great first day in Ponyville!" added Pinkie. The two men chuckled.
"Ok, thanks you two." replied Dan gratefully.
Fluttershy started to put plasters on Gavin's cuts whilst Pinkie did the same for Dan.
"So, what are your names?" asked Gavin.
"Oh, I'm Fluttershy"
"And I'm Pinkie Pie!" Gavin chuckled, he'd heard Ray saying that Fluttershy sucks many times up in Austin.
"What about you?" enquired Flyttershy.
"I'm Gavin"
"I'm Dan"
Fluttershy and Pinkie shared a glance.
"What odd names, if you don't mind me saying so..." whispered Fluttershy.
"They're normal where we come from" laughed Dan.
"Where do you come from then?" asked Pinkie. "I've never met anypony called Gavin or Dan and I've met a lot of ponies!"
"But we're not ponies" said Gavin with a smile.
"Oh yeah! Still where do you come from, it can't be around here, you have funny voices!" giggled Pinkie.
"Pinkie that's not very nice..."
"Don't worry about it, we get that quite a bit" interrupted Gavin
"We come from place called Oxfordshire in England." added Dan. The two ponies stared at him blankly. "It might be in another universe? Another dimension? I don't know, it's not like this though and that's for sure!"
The ponies seemed happy with this answer and continued treating their wounds, but in their heads a million questions were floating around trying to get out. They'd just have to wait for Apple Jack, Princess Celestia and the others to get here so Gavin and Dan could tell them more.
"Argh!" yelled Gavin, "that stings, ow ow ow!" Dan laughed as Gavin wriggled around, trying to wipe off the cream that Fluttershy had just rubbed into one of his burns.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry, I should've warned you but this is the best way for you to heal" said Fluttershy apologetically.
"No problem" mumbled Gavin, gritting his teeth.
"Gav, you'd think you'd have a higher pain tolerance after all of your failed flips" Dan chuckled.

Apple Jack and Princess Celestia were nearly at the library. They'd talked a little bit on the way, but most of the time they stayed quiet.
"Do you know if they're still there?" asked the princess.
"Ah'm sorry, no. They could've left. Ah don't even know if mah friends are still there princess." replied a very worried AJ.
Eventually, the chariot landed safely outside the library and AJ was first to jump off and run through the door. The three ponies inside looked at her and smiled.
"AJ! You're back!" yelled Twilight happily. She tried to get up to hug Twilight but fell back down due to her weak body.
As princess Celestia walked through the door she gasped, she though that the 'creatures that AJ described had done this to the treehouse and done that t Twilight.
"Where are these creatures I must banish them at once, tell me where to go!" she demanded.
Rainbow Dash ran up to the princess waving her arms.
"Woah woah woah! Why would you want to do that?!" she asked.
"Look what they've done!" she returned whilst pointing to Twilight.
"Oh, no no, they didn't do that, that was the spell, they suffered too." dash replied.
The princess sighed with relief and smiled.
"Phew, I'm glad they haven't caused any harm but what are they and where are they?"
"They are tall things with short manes, no tails and no fur. Oh also they can talk." Rarity replied. Celestia nodded. "They went with Fluttershy to her cottage so she can treat their injuries princess" she added.
Princess Celestia smiled slyly.
"Let's go then, I need to... change them."
