Chapter Four: Back To Equestria

Satisfied that I know smelled decent for inter-dimensional travel, I started the long, tiring 5 meter walk to my room. I Had brought a change of clothes with me to the shower so I didn't have to change in-front of 6 ponies. Plus a human girl. I walked into the room and saw something very strange and slightly disturbing. Twilight was doing scientific experiments on Neeky's hand.

"So you must be some kind of primate then?" Twilight asked.

Neeky pondered for a moment "I guess you could say that. Charles Darwin said that we evolved from primates."

"I have to study your race more back in Ponyville."

I decided to chip in. "Well, we can do that when we're actually in Ponyville."

Twilight turned her head toward me. "Oh yes, about that. I wont be able to teleport you all at the same time. I'll have to do two of you at a time. First, Applejack and Rarity. Then Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. Then you and your friend. Then me and Rainbow."

"I think you should swap Rarity and Rainbow."

"Why?"

"Because Rarity is another unicorn, she can help you in teleporting. Reduce some of the load of of yourself."

Rarity didn't like the sound of exerting so much pressure onto herself, but she did like the idea of helping her friend. "Well, as much as I hate teleporting, I agree with our human friend here. Even for such a powerful unicorn like yourself, teleporting 6 ponies and two humans through a different dimension is too much to handle."

"Well, I suppose. Come on Rarity, the sooner this is done, the sooner we can sleep."

I hadn't noticed how tired they all looked. It must have been days since they last slept.

The two unicorns took position and got ready to take us all across a dimension. Their horns started to glow an intense mix of purple and blue. The room filled up with light. Then it happened. I heard a scream from the direction of the two unicorns. It sounded like Twilight. Before I could move, the whole world disappeared in a flash. I knew I was still conscious because I could hear a wind rustling the leaves. I lifted my head to examine what happened. All six ponies were out cold. I scanned the environment. We were in a forest. There were no forests where I lived. So either Twilight's spell had failed and created a forest, she teleported us across the world and into a random forest or, and the worst of all, we were in the Everfree Forest. I got up from my resting place on the cold, muddy floor of the forest. Needless to say my shower was pointless. I noticed that Neeky hadn't been teleported with us. However, my thoughts were quickly hushed as I heard a growl from behind. I quickly spun my head to the source. I saw a pair of red eyes scurrying toward me. I stood still, petrified. I tried to will my limbs to move but they refused. I saw the eyes get lower. So low that they almost touched the floor. I looked directly at the eyes. They moved out of the shadows to reveal a small bunny. I let out a large exhale from the breath I had been holding. It was then that I recognised five other pars of eyes. Each hurrying to the bunny. As they each stepped out of the shade, saw what they were. An owl, a cat, a dog, a Tortoise and an alligator. My head going a million miles a minute, quickly put the pieces together. These were the pets of the ponies! So we were in the Everfree forest. I heard the ponies start to wake up behind me. I turned around to aid them. Twilight was the first to get up. Also the first to notice the pets.

"Owlawicious?"

"Hoo!" Owlawicious flew over to Twilight.

Once they were all up and re-united with their pets, I asked Owlawicious to help us get out of the Everfree forest. He led the way back to Ponyville.

On the way back, Twilight had pointed out multiple times that I'd be staying with her. One of her reasons was: "So I don't need to call for you so I can examine you." This was one that I wasn't so happy about. However the vast amount of other reasons made me ok about it.
