//------------------------------// // Chapter 10 // Story: The Power of Portals // by Flames173 //------------------------------// "Ok, so, we have two girls who have no clue how to be a human and are willing to learn. What are we gonna do?" Fred asked Luke as Twilight got herself dressed in the clothes they 'found' for her. "Well, by the looks of it, it appears they have been people before." Luke said, looking at how easily twilight got dressed, blushing unwillingly at the sight. "I don't know, I think they need some more training." Fred said, a tinge of lust in his eye. "Aaaand, you got creepy again." Luke slapped Fred and looked back at the girls. "So, do you need anything else?" Twilight stood up and thought for a second and looked at Fluttershy who shrugged. "Nope, we're good." "All right then. Fred, you go somewhere else, please." Luke said after seeing the way Fred was staring at Fluttershy. "Aww, why?" "Because you're just plain creepy man, so leave or quit being yourself." "All right." Fred turned around and headed for the stairs. He stopped just before them and looked back. "Go on." "Aww." Fred went up the stairs and left the house. "Well then. You girls stay down here while I try to recreate the portal that took us to Ponyville." "Ok." Fluttershy said. She went over to the wall and looked at the array of board games that Joe's family owned. "Hey Twilight, want to play a game while Luke does his thing?" "Sure." Twilight came over to Fluttershy and stood beside her. "Let's play this one, it looks fun, and it teaches manners too! Fun!" Twilight said, taking down the box for 'sorry'. "Ok." Fluttershy said. They set up the game and played it. Luke inspected the black box that Joe used before the portal appeared the first time. He picked it up and looked at it in the light. "What is your secret?" he asked it, as if that would help. He turned it around in his hands, a red button was on the back. "Ah ha!" He pushed it and waited a couple seconds. Nothing happened. "Hmm." He turned it around more. The only thing he found that could activate it was the button. "Maybe you have to hold it?" He held the button for a few seconds, nothing happened. "The notes!" He exclaimed. Luke ran over to the notes that Joe's parents left on the nearby desk and looked through them for an answer. "You got it yet Luke?" Twilight asked him. "No, but I think the answer is in here somewhere." Luke said after setting a few papers aside. Twilight walked up to him and looked at the clutter of paper. "Oh, I can help!" Twilight said as she took a bunch of the papers and started looking through them. "This is going to take a while."
