//------------------------------// // It happened again... // Story: My little Pony: Uncommon Connection // by Spitfire16 //------------------------------// The mane6 and Babe left the library and traveled back to the outskirts where Twilight first performed the spell. This time Twilight prepared a different spell. This spell was going to be used to send Babe back home. As Twilight inhaled and exhaled Applejack approached her, "You sure you can do this?" Applejack questioned. Twilight nodded her head in determination, "I'll do what I can, this has to work." "Okay, just don't overdo it sugarcube." Applejack and the others stood back as Twilight prepared the spell. Babe continued to pinch himself in an attempt to "wake" himself up. Twilight was straining hard. She was trying her best to get as much magic out of her as possible. Her horn was shrouded in its usual magenta aura. After gathering enough magic Twilight shot a beam of light up toward the sky, the clouds began to repel from the light creating a large circular opening in the clouds. The sky turned purple for a brief second. "N-Nothing's happening?" Twilight said while trying to catch her breathe. Applejack and the other's approached Twilight in concern. Rarity took one last look at the sky before looking back to Twilight, "What happened, Twilight?" Twilight wiped the small traces of sweat from her forehead, "I don't know...that spelled should've worked". Twilight looked up at the sky trying to figure out where she went wrong, " I used up a lot of magic for that spell. Why didn't it work?" "AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Rainbow Dash heard something and looked around for the source, " Did you say something Fluttershy?". Fluttershy shook her head, "Oh no, I didn't say anything." Rainbow gently bonked her left ear with her hoof, " I could've sworn I heard something." "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Rainbow heard the same sound again, this time it sounded closer, "Hey, there it goes again!" Applejack and the other's heard the same sound. They all began looking around it, "Ah hear it too. What is that?" Babe looked back toward Ponyville thinking it was coming from town, "It sounds like screaming." Fluttershy looked up and saw something falling from the sky…it was also where the screams were coming from, "There it is!" Fluttershy shouted to her friends as she pointed at the falling object. The screams continued until the unidentified object crashed into the ground, landing nearby. Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Babe all ran over to the crash site. What fell wasn't an object it was somepony, well someone, it was another human. Twilight's eyes widened in shock, "Another one??" Applejack looked at Twilight with a reassuring smile, "You must've used the wrong spell sugar cube." Twilight blushed at her mistake but Applejack reassured her with a smile. The human's head was planted into the ground. He tried to pull his head out from the ground. They all heard grunting coming from under the dirt. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy grabbed the human's leg in an attempt to pry him out of the ground. After a brief struggle he popped out of the ground and flew backwards, landing on Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. Twilight and the others went over to them. "Are you guys alright?" the energetic pink coated mare asked in concern. Once Babe got a good look at the person who just crash landed before them he shouted out, "André!?" obviously referring to the boy. "Ow...Babe?" Babe was just as shocked as the other's however his shock was a bit different from the ponies, "Oh man. This isn't a dream! I would never dream of you!" Rarity looked up at Babe, "You know him?" Babe looked back at Rarity and quickly nodded his head, "Of course. This is my friend, André." The newly arrived human looked to his left and then to his right, standing before him were the ponies he's been watching on TV back at home, "Man…either the lack of sleep is getting to me or Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Twilight and Applejack are actually here in front of me." Babe chuckled, "As crazy as it may be the second one is about right." Pinkie turned to her friends, "Are we famous or something?" naturally Twilight and the other's didn't know how to respond to the question. André noticed a few ponies were missing, "Wait. Where are Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy?" he asked. Rainbow Dash cleared her throat while tapping her hoof on the ground in impatient taps. André noticed the two under him and realized he was lying on top of the two. He quickly jumped up and turned to them. "Oh! I'm sorry!" He extended his hand to Rainbow Dash, "Please, let me to help you up." Rainbow Dash blew her mane up with her breathe and picked herself up off of the ground, "Yeah, thanks but no thanks." André watched Rainbow Dash fly over to the others but turned back to see Fluttershy trying to stand. Fluttershy was a little dizzy from the impact. He didn't hesitate in helping her, "Sorry about that." Fluttershy was grateful for André's help and gave a warm smile, "Thank you…you're too kind." Fluttershy's smile made André lightly grin. "I'm getting that from Fluttershy. That's such an honor." he said as he placed his hand over his chest. As expected from Fluttershy she blushed in shyness and hides behind her mane. Babe went over to his friend and wrapped his arm around André's neck playfully. Pinkie Pie loved their energy and in turn was getting even more energetic, "Haha! They're funny!" Pinkie happily hoped over to them while the other's watched, slowly easing up to the two humans presence. Seeing how friendly they were Applejack smiled, seeing that they weren't that different. She looked at Twilight, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, "They sure are a strange bunch but they don't seem to be looking for any trouble." Rarity was still a bit concerned, "So what'll we do? Are they going to stay here?" "They might have to Rarity but only until I find the correct spell to return them home." Twilight stated to her surrounding friends. Rainbow Dash still wasn't amused too keen on the idea, "So we have two of these Hu-Mans. Do we keep an eye on them?" Twilight thought for a second and knew about the problems that'll come with the situation. "They may have trouble fitting into Ponyville but other than that I'm sure they'll be fine." Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy looked over and saw Babe, André and Pinkie Pie happily play fought with each other. Pinkie Pie was riding on Babe's back while Babe and André struggled with one another on the ground. Twilight and the others couldn't help but laugh at their current carefree nature. Applejack walked up to the three, "Say, what'd you say yer name was?" André looked over to Applejack, "Me?" Applejack nodded her head with a friendly smile. Babe helped André up from the grass while still holding Pinkie Pie on his back. "Oh right, sorry about that. I should've introduced myself properly. I'm André." Applejack slightly lifted her hat to the boy, "And you already know all of our names but it's nice to meet ya." "Likewise. So, we're really in Equestria? This is like…really not a dream?" André asked to the group with a hopeful sounding voice. Babe dismissed André's doubts, "Yeah, the real deal. Hopefully anyway." André was happy to hear it but it wasn't really enough to go on. He crossed his arms, "How'd we get here and how do we get back?" "I can explain all of this back at the library." André and Babe looked at Twilight who was currently speaking, "Whatever questions you have I'll do my best and answer them."
