Part 5

Today is the day, today is the day we go to Canterlot, talk to Celestia and I go back to my world to find Rainbow's friend. To tell you the truth i’m really nervous about this. I’m pretty sure everypony else is nervous too, especially Fluttershy but they’re not as nervous as I am. I’m the one who's has to go back and find Rainbow's friend but I won't have Celestia with me to take me back. How is this even going to work?

When the sun peeked up Fluttershy and I woke up, ate, feed the animals and went to the train station. Before we left I grabbed my satchel with my note in it. I just hope she won't be too sad to not read it, that’s the last thing I want for her.

We slowly made our way to the train station. Fluttershy had a very worried look on her the whole way there, I don't blame her feeling this worried. This is a very risky thing and it could fail and I'll be stuck in my world but I can’t let Rainbow down. I’m already here so no turning back, if I do then she’ll just cry and cry for who know’s how long.

By the time we got to the trains we were the only ones there. Guess we woke up earlier than the others. We sat near a bench but remained quite.

After a few minutes Fluttershy finally broke the silence, "You scared?" she asked.

I sighed nervously, "You have no idea but I gotta help Rainbow no matter what the cost. Like I said a long time ago, I won't let my friends suffer, no matter what the cost..."

"Yeah I remember... “ she said quietly, ”I just hope you come back brother."

"Me too sis...Me to."

We sat there for about 20 minutes then we saw Twilight come, then Rainbow, then the rest. They all had a gloomy look on them. A few spoke but it was only a, “Hey” here and there. Twilight was the one to finally talk to us.

"How you feeling?" she asked.

"Nervous.” I replied, “You?"

"Same here." she replied back.

"Hey, I haven't seen Spike this whole week. Where is he?"

"Oh he's at Canterlot doing some dragon stuff." answered Twilight.

"H’m that explains it then.” I turned to Rainbow who was looking at the sky, “Is she ok?"

"I imagine she's as nervous as you." said Twilight.

We said nothing after that and I sat there with Fluttershy. I held her tightly and she did the same. After a while the train finally and the train's mare came out.

"All aboard for Canterlot!" yelled the train's mare.

We walked inside and took a seat but nopony said a word. They all had worried look on them and some were staring at me for a bit. I finally worked up the nerve to ask them, "What’s up?"

"We’re just really worried thats all." said Applejack.

"Yeah we just don't want to lose such a good friend." said Pinkie.

"And we don't want to see Fluttershy sad." added Rarity.

"I just hope this works." said Rainbow.

"I hope so too. By the way what’s this person's name?"

"Rob. Rob Cakeran." said Rainbow.

"How am I supposed to convince him that I know you?"

Rainbow thought about it for a moment, then she had a idea. She asked for a paper and quill and wrote a letter and gave it to me. She didn't want me to read, it’s only meant for him.

"How do you know this will work?"

"He'll remember my writing trust me." replied Rainbow.

"Look we're almost to Canterlot." said Pinkie.

We looked out the window and saw Canterlot in the distance. My heart started pounding as we got closer and closer. By the time we departed I was shaking but I tried hide it. Luckily none of them noticed it.

"So are we going into the princess’s castle right now?"

"Yes, I requested her attention and we’re going to have a meeting. We better hurry." answered Twilight.

We quickly made our way to her castle where a royal guard was waiting for us. Surprisingly the guard was Twilight's brother Shining Armor. I didn't even know she had a brother but I still introduced myself and told him I was Fluttershy's brother. Luckily he bought it and he escorted us to Princess Celestia.

When we got to the doors that lead to her room Shining Armor had to go. We opened the door and saw Celestia and Luna standing in front of a circle table. They seemed to be the only ponies in the whole room which was fine by me. We walked in, bowed and all took a seat.

"Why hello everypony.” greeted Celestia, “Now what is it you wanted to talk about?"

"Tell her." said Twilight.

Rainbow nodded her head and stood up, "Remember the man who took care of me when I was in Cerulean’s world?"

Celestia nodded her head and continued to listen.

I stood up and spoke next, "She's been very worried about him and she wants me to go back to my world and check on him."

This seemed to only catch Luna by surprise but Celestia held her own pretty well. It’s really hard to tell how she feels because she shows no emotion at all. Its like looking at a stone face from time to time.

Celestia closed her eyes and thought about it for a second then opened them and spoke, "Alright I'll ready the portal." she said.

"Really?!" said everypony.

"I have often wondered if what I did was the right choice. Leave him behind while we took Rainbow back. I have also worried for him to." said Celestia.

"Alright but how will I get back if you can't come with me?"

She raised her eyebrow at me, "Who said your were going alone?”

"Wait you're coming?”

"Yes I will be accompanying you. Did you think you were going to do this on your own?" questioned Celestia.

"Actually thats what Rainbow wanted."

She turned to Rainbow then back at me, "I see, and how did you think you were going to be able to come back without my power?"

I couldn't think of anything to say back.

"You’re all coming with me. And so will Spike this time." said Celestia.

"Huh? Where is he?" said Twilight.

"Right here." said a voice.

The doors opened and walked in was Spike. He quickly closed the doors and ran toward Twilight and leaped onto her back.

"Everypony ready." said Celestia.

We noded our heads. Celestia's horn began glowing and a portal opened. We all walked into it and we were sent to a open field. I not sure where we were but I hope were in the right place. I also noticed something, i’m a human again!
