	Jen stared in shock at the pony in front of her. The mare had a purple coat and a mane made of multiple hues of lavender and atop said mane rested a tiara with a star-like jewel in the middle. There was only one pony Jen knew who could wield the Element of magic. “T-t-twilight!” 
“Could you maybe tone it down a little? You’re a little loud.” 
“I, um...” Jen didn’t know how to reply, “s-s-sorry.” Oh lord, I’m talking to Twilight Sparkle, the Twilight Sparkle, what the buck?!
“It’s perfectly fine,” Twilight calmly replied, “I understand, this must be very odd for you. But don’t worry, we’re here to help.”
“But you... I... oh geez,” Jen was starting to feel overloaded, luckily her dad stepped in to assist her.
“Nice to meet you Miss um...” stopped trotting over to Twilight and tried to remember her name.
“Twilight,” Twilight held out a hoof, “Twilight Sparkle, nice to meet you.”
“Ah,” Jen’s dad said as he awkwardly shook Twilight’s hoof, “well nice to meet you Miss Sparkle. Um, is there anything we can do for you?”
“Actually,” Twilight turned back over to Jen, “I need your help.” A purple glow surrounded the tiara as it levitated off Twilight's head and floated between her and Jen. “I need you to use this.” Twilight had a pleading look on her face.
“But... but that’s...” Jen couldn’t believe what was happening, not only was Twilight in her house, but she was asking her to use the Element of magic.
“Yes, the Element of magic. Princess Celestia told me all about the connection our universe has to yours, so I know you probably know about the difficulties this Element possess.”
“I...” Jen touched the tiara and it lost its lavender glow as it fell down her hoof, “I have to use this with the other ponies?”
“Correct.”
“But I don’t even know them,” Jen was getting nervous now. Why? Why do I have to do this? I’m just a student, I’m not even in college yet! Oh... oh crap, what... what if I can’t do it?
“Don’t worry, when I activated the Element, I barely knew anypony either. If the Princess was willing to put faith in you than so am I.”
“I...” A tan aura surrounded the tiara, “I’ll try.” Jen clumsily levitated the tiara onto her head as many fears pulsated in her mind.
“Great,” Twilight smiled, “we’re right on schedule then.”
“Schedule?” 
“As soon as the Princess told us her plans, I set out to make the most flexible yet orderly schedule I could to facilitate you mastering the element and gathering everypony else together.”
“Um,” Jen awkwardly looked at Twilight, “the show really got you down well I think.”
“Well I’m flattered, but don’t confuse me with a fictional pony, I’m sure there must have been somethings the show didn’t get right about me.”
“Do you really have a smarty pants doll?” 
Twilight blushed red at the question. “I... um... oh...”
“Sorry-sorry!” Jen pleaded. Oh god I embarrassed Twilight, crap crap crap! “I mean, um, like the show here is usually considered really girly to watch! Like if it wasn’t for my mates I’d never watch it!” Jen was babbling and only making an awkward situation more awkward. Like any good parents, Jen’s just stood there wondering just what the hay their daughter was talking about. 
“I’m gonna go boil up so tea,” Jen’s mom whispered to Jen’s dad.
“That’d probably be best, watch the wings though,” he replied. Jen’s parents snuck into the kitchen and started getting some tea and food ready.
“So not everypo- everyone,” Twilight corrected herself, “watches our show?” 
“Well I mean nopony except little girls watched in when I was little,” Jen replied “ but something about this new series I think just clicked.”
“Hmm,” Twilight brought a hoof to her muzzle as she thought deeply about the matter, “maybe that has something to do with the Elements. Our activation of them might have shortened the gap between our universe and yours. Plus, if you account Rainbow Dash’s first rainboom, that could have also affected the gap.”
“How old are you all anyways?”
“Well, based on what the Princess told me about Earth, and given your heliocentric solar system and self-revolving planet, I would guess I’d be around thirty of your Earth years.”
“Ha! Mike is so gonna owe me a coke!”
“What?” Twilight gave Jen an odd look.
“Oh, um, sorry, it’s just that my mates and I had this really big fight over how old you all were and I said you all had to be older than twenty. But my mate Mike said you were all probably eighteen or something.”
“I see,” Twilight had a quizzical expression on her face, “I assume ‘mate’ means friend?”
“Oh yeah, guess ponies don’t talk like Australians... actually, I know you spoke English in the show, but that’s pretty amazing that you can speak it in reality as well.”
“Oh no no no,” Twilight waved a hoof in front of Jen, “I’m still speaking Equestrian, you’re just hearing ‘English.’”
“What?”
“The know-it-all spell, the Princess specifically designed it for this event. It allows those under its influence to understand, and for all purposes, ‘talk’ in whatever language is required to get a point across.” 
“Wow, I didn’t know magic was this awesome!” Jen was completely enamored.
“Excuse me?”
“Ok, well, when I watched the show I always thought pegasi were cool and athletic like I was, but unicorns were smart and mature. I...I guess they were like what I wanted to be.”
“I don’t quite understand.” 
“I was always adventurous and outgoing, but I knew that to succeed in life I had to be collected and intellectual. I thought being that way might help me figure out what I was good at.”
“Hmm, interesting, I wonder if desires and dreams affect what type of pony a human becomes.”
“Oh, that’s one other thing... how do you get a cutie mark?”
“Well if you know what a cutie mark is then you probably know how to get one too. You just need to figure out what you’re good at.”
“But how?”
Twilight giggled a little, but then looked embarrassed again, “Sorry, it’s just you sounded a lot like a certain trio of fillies I know. But for now, don’t worry about your cutie mark, you seem like a good mare with some fun, um, ‘mates.’ Who know, maybe you’ll earn your mark getting the Element to work.”
“Really?” Jen was excited now.
“Yep, we’ve probably got some time until the other seeds are ready, so I’ll even help you with some basic magic.”
“Oh! Thank you! Thank you!” Jen jumped up and down in excitement
“Jen, calm down,” her mom had trotted back into the room, “I think you’ve done a enough damage to the room already.” The room was actually quite a mess: the telly was broken, the couch was slightly bent in half, a chair was sticking out of the wall and broken glass littered the floor. 
“Sorry mom.” Jen looked at her mom apologetically. 
“It’s fine, for now let’s get some food.”
Twilight’s stomach grumbled in response to the offer, “Oh...heh-heh, guess trans-dimensional travel takes a lot out of you.”

David was worried about Pinkie. Ok she had a massive hangover, but that wasn’t what really worried him. It was that her colors were fading. “You’re sure you’re not feeling grumpy?”
“No, but...” Pinkie brought a hoof to her head, “I don’t think human drinks are that fun, they make your head feel like it’s exploding.”
“Just keep drinking your water and it’ll pass. Sorry, I should have been more careful.”
“Really dear,” Rarity patted David, “it’s not your fault, who would have known that ponies weren’t good with um... what was it called again?”
“Alcohol,” David said, but then he stomped a hoof to the ground. “Shoot!”
“What?” Izumi asked.
“I can’t have a good drink with my mates anymore.”
“You actually like getting head-explosions?” Pinkie gave David a very confused look. 
“Well for humans, a few drinks just makes you a little dizzy and for me a little happier. It’s a way to bond with my mates and forget about life’s troubles for a little.”
“Oh,” Rarity’s eyes alighted, “Pinkie, it’s somewhat like when I go to the spa with Fluttershy.”
“Your head explodes when you go to the spa?”
Rarity facehoofed at Pinkie’s comment. “No dear, I’m just saying it’s a way humans bond and relax. Is that the gist of it Mr. Muller?”
“I think, I mean the head explosion thing can happen if you drink too much, but if you’re responsible, you and your mates can just laugh over a pint.” At his last words, David paused and brought a hoof to his muzzle. “Hmm, why does something about that ring with me?”
“Oooh!” Despite her hangover, Pinkie was now enthusiastic about something. “You should make it your new name!”
“New name?” David was confused now.
“Well, I mean, you don’t have to change your name, but the Princess did say it makes being a pony a little easier.
“Hmm,” Izumi was pondering now too, “darn, I’d gotten so caught up in being a pony, I hadn’t even thought of a new name, ugh this is hard. How do parents d-” a strand of her neon pink mane fell in front of her face. “I got it! Neon! Neon Glitter! Yeah, that sounds good.”
“That’s nice and all,” Pinkie smiled and winced at the same time, “but could you just turn it down a little?”
“Please!” David’s mum was also hungover, but much more so than Pinkie. She hadn’t even bothered getting off the ground. She was content to just sit on the floor until the end of the world (again, probably not that long of a wait).
“Sorry sorry,” Neon apologized she then turned to David, “so, um, what about you?”
“Well, how does ‘Laughing Pint’ sound?”
“I think it sound super!” Pinkie smiled, “What’s a pint anyway?” 
“It’s a glass that holds drinks.”
“Oh! Like the stuff Applejack uses to hold cider.”
“Wait,” something stopped Pint, “how does drinking a lot of cider make you feel?”
“Actually now that I think about it... you said this ‘alcohaly’ stuff makes you dizzy right?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm, well there was that one time Berry and I had that cider contest, I think we both felt pretty dizzy after that. It also made me a little sleepy so I took a nap afterwards, but it didn’t make my head hurt like that stuff last night did.”
“I honestly don’t know how you two managed to drink that much. A shame Rainbow Dash was visiting Cloudsdale at the time, she would have loved to compete against the two of you.”
“Oooh! When we get back we should celebrate with a cider party!”
“Hmm, ok, I like the sound of this,” Pint trotted around the room as he thought aloud, “as long as my friends and I have something to bond over I should be good.”
“Oooh,” Neon squealed, “I can’t wait to try cider! When do we go to Equestria anyway?”
“Well,” Pinkie looked at both Pint and Neon, “I think we might need to just wait for a little on Fluttershy.
“Fluttershy?” Pint asked.
“Yeah, when I woke up, aside from the head-explody thing, my right hindleg hit me in the face, that means somepony is coming to see us.”
“So do we just just wait then?” Neon asked.
“Yes,” Rarity replied, “besides, I think we still all need a little rest after last night anyway.”
“You two will be ok?” Rarity and Pinkie’s faded colors hadn’t gotten past Neon either. 
“Oh,” Rarity looked at her now slightly discolored mane, “this. Well the Elements should ward of the worst of it, so we should be fine.”
“Ok, but if we need to move, I can always try teleporting.”
“I’m sure it’ll be fine, but it’s quite cute that you want to try out teleporting, you remind me of Sweetie when she was just a foal. Mother and father had a hay of a time dealing with her.”
“Sweetie can use magic?”
“Well of course she can use magic dear, she’s a unicorn after all.”
"It’s just that the show never showed her using magic.”
“What?” Rarity looked aghast. “But she’s so good at it, she was even the top unicorn in school. I’m honestly surprised she hasn’t gotten a cutie mark for it yet.”
Pint chuckled a little. “Guess the show got that part right at least... Sweetie is friends with Applebloom and Scootaloo right?”
“Of course, why, they’re the closest of friends. Hmm, but the way this ‘show’ portrayed us concerns me... it didn’t show me acting undignified did it?”
“Um,” Neon and Pint awkwardly looked at Rarity and then each other. 
Pint was the one to speak up though, “Did you actually go to the Grand Galloping Gala?”
“Oh sweet Celestia,” Rarity’s white muzzle turned beet red.

“Hmm,” Twilight was munching on a salad Jen’s mom had made for everypony, “interesting.”
“What?” Jen’s mom asked, “Too much vinaigrette?”
“Oh no, it’s quite fine, just sort of dulled,” Twilight bluntly said, but then realized her bad manners, “but it’s not because it’s a bad salad. It just doesn’t have magic in it, I think.”
“How can a salad have magic in it?” Jen asked as she munched on the exact same salad and, by all means, thought it was an explosion of flavor. 
“Everything in Equestria, to some degree, has magic in it. Especially food since it takes the work of all three pony types to produce it.”
“So ponies really do do everything in Equestria then... wait, if pony magic is prevalent in everything, then what about the Everfree? I mean, in the show at least, it didn’t need ponies to cause natural phenomenons and stuff like poison joke seemed pretty magical.”
“Remember, I said everything in Equestria has magic in it, not just pony magic. For example, the Everfree is a sink for primordial magic. I found that out the hard way.”
“Primordial magic?”
“Magic that has existed since the beginning of time. Before this crisis happened, I was actually looking into it to prove my grand unified magical theory.”
“What?”
“I have a theory that all magic is interconnected at some point, from Earth ponies growing the tiniest saplings, to the the Princesses lifting the  sun and the moon.”
“Einstein.” Jen looked absolutely shocked at the revelation she had just had.
“What’s an ‘Einstein?’” Twilight gave Jen an odd look.
“He was this really important physicist. When he died he was looking for a force that connected the entire universe together. I think... oh my god... you may have just found the answer to the greatest physics problem in existence.” Jen hadn’t earned a scholarship to college for nothing. 
Twilight’s bookworm instincts took over, “So this ‘Einstein’ was looking for a force that connected the universe and I was looking for how magic was connected... sweet Celestia! I think you may be right! I mean it’s speculation right now, but if I could just see this human’s research I might be able to finalize my own. Oh, this is so exciting!”
“Hmm, well there’s also one other really big physicist right now, but he’s kind of sick and need a lot of stuff to communica- oh my gosh!” 
“What?” Twilight said in slight alarm.
“The pony serum fixes anything right?”
“Well, we developed it to essentially clear out the human body. It removes massive disabilities and expels foreign entities that would normally harm a human, while adapting any beneficial foreign entities to function in a pony’s body as well. But what does that have to do with a sick physi- oh!” The idea of ponifying the physicist clicked in her mind. “Yes, we’ll definitely need save him, along with all the other great human minds. We might have already solved one of the great questions of the universe, who knows what else we could accomplish? By the way, what is this person’s na-” Twilight stopped and looked embarrassed, “oh um...”
“What?” 
“Well I got so caught up in giving you the Element and food that I didn’t even get your name, I’m really sorry.”
“Oh no, it’s fine,” Jen awkwardly held out a hoof, “It’s Jen, Jen Craney.”
“Oh that’s right,” Twilight said and she shook Jen’s hoof, “humans have a little different naming system than ponies.” Twilight thumped herself playfully on the head. “Here I was expecting something like Trail Blazer or Tan Lilly.”
“Well I guess you have a point,” Jen thought about the dilemma she was in. She liked her name, but it was human and she was a pony now, a pony that wanted a cutie mark. It just didn’t fit for a pony to have a name like Jen. She turned over to her mom, who had been having a conversation with her dad about the oddities of wings. “Mom... is it ok if I change my name?”
“Well...” her mom looked over at Twilight, “does everyon- er, everypony have names like yours?”
“Well it’s completely up to humans whether they change their names or not, but I think it could really help in adapting to Equestria.”
“Hmm,” Jen’s mom pondered for a second, “Jen you can choose a new name... in fact I think you should choose a good new surname for all of us.”
“What?!” Jen was shocked at the task her mom was giving her, and more so at the suddenness of it. 
“Well you’re becoming an adult and from the sound of it a very important pony, so I think you can handle the responsibility.”
“But... but, I haven’t even thought of a name for myself.”
“Don’t worry,” Twilight reassured everypony in the room, “you don’t need to choose right now. You’ll have plenty of time once Equestria is here.”
“I... I guess,” Jen meekly replied. Damn it! Why can’t I figure any of this out! Then Jen noticed that Twilight seemed to be concentrating on something. “Something wrong?”
“No, it’s just that Rarity must have teleported.”
“Is she coming here?” 
“No I think she’s going to see Pinkie.”
“Wait, how do you know where everypony else is?”
“I don’t, except for Pinkie and Rarity and Rarity only because she just teleported.”
“What about Pinkie then?”
“I don’t think I’ll ever fully understand it, but Pinkie somehow leaks magic, but not typical Earth Pony magic or even primordial magic... it’s something of her own.”
“It’s Pinkie?”
“It’s Pinkie.”
“So what do we do now then?” 
“Well I guess if Rarity teleported, she must wanted to help whoever Pinkie’s with. So I guess we just wait until somepony uses an Element and then we’ll teleport to them.”
“Just one thing Ms. Sparkle,” Jen’s mom tuned in to the conversation, “do you think you could fix up the living room a little?” She awkwardly looked through the kitchen door at the mess the living room was. 
“Actually,” Twilight said as she started to walk over to the living room, Jen followed as well, “since it’s already a mess, maybe I could help show your daughter some magic? Would that be ok Ms. Craney?”
“Um, certainly,” Jen’s mom awkwardly flapped her wings, “also, you wouldn’t know how to use these would you?”
“Oh, sorry, the most experience I have flight is the cloudwalker spell.”
“Heh,” Jen’s dad laughed, “I can only imagine what that does.”
“Anyway,” Twilight looked over at Jen, “it looks like you can already levitate stuff a little, how about a repair spell?”
“Um ok,” Jen nervously looked over at Twilight, “how does it work?”
“Well you just focus on whatever is broken and imagine yourself fixing whatever the problem is.” Twilight scanned the room for something simple to fix and found a broken picture frame. It had a picture of Jen when she was ten and her family, it was odd looking at herself as a human now. “How about this?” Twilight propped up the picture up.
“Um ok,” Jen closed her eyes and focused on the picture frame and imagined the frame whole again, with her family all together and smi-
“Whoa!” Twilight exclaimed. 
“What?!” Jen stopped focusing and opened her eyes again. The frame was back to normal, but the picture had changed, now it had her as a filly in the picture. “What the hell?”
“I’ve never seen anything like that. You must have done a variant of the repair spell... I think.”
“That’s crazy,” Jen said as she looked at the picture, aside from the fact that she was a filly in the picture, everything else was the same, even the missing front tooth she had in the picture and the scab on her elbow. Well I guess it’s my left foreleg now. “This is weird.”
“But it’s also go-” Twilight paused and scanned the air again.
“What is i-” Aside from the buzzing in the air that had been bothering Jen since she’d become a unicorn, another feeling now filled the air. It was pure and powerful and rather than being an annoying buzzing, it was like a part of an incomplete song. The oddest part is that it just felt... honest? “Is that what I think it is?”
“You bet it is!” Twilight’s horn lit up as she spoke, “long-distance teleportation can be a little rough, so you might want to brace yourself.” 
“Got it.”
“Oh Jen,” her mom called out, “are you going?”
“Don’t worry mom, I’m with Princess Celestia’s star stu-”
Like that, Jen and Twilight were gone.

~~~

Neon had been awoken by the harmonic noise filling the air. Yesterday had been so amazing. She had gotten to talk with Rarity and Pinkie Pie so much. It was amazing learning more and more about the real Equestria. Today had also been an interesting day as well. Pint’s bartender friend had managed to get converted and get back to the bar. He said the streets were still a mess, but they were doing a little better now that the guard had fully mobilized. 
That just left one issue: Fluttershy. Pinkie had said she was coming, but she wasn’t here yet. The harmonic noise put her fears to rest, it felt similar to when Pint activated his Element. The noise hadn’t gotten past Rarity either. “Did you feel that?” She asked Neon.
“Yep, does that mea-”
“She’s here!” Pinkie sprung up between the two unicorns and awoke the other three ponies in the room.
“Ugh,” Pint groggily sat up, “Pinkie, isn’t it a little early to be having a party? Or is it too late?”
“But Fluttershy got her pony’s element to work and she’s really close!” 
“What?” Pint immediately became alert, “Where?”
“About 156.873 miles from here!” Pinkie was nearly bouncing off the walls.
“Um, do you know it in kilometers?” Pint asked, he couldn’t do the math off the top of his head.
“What’s a kilometer?”
“Nevermind,” Pint said, “should we get going then?”
“I think that would be best,” Rarity replied, “this color loss thing is absolutely dreadful.” Both Rarity and Pinkie’s coats and manes were now looking more faded. “Let’s do this as soon as we can.” Rarity’s horn started to glow.
“Wait!” Neon cried out. “I won’t let you waste any more magic, not after last time!” Neon’s horn started to gain an electrical aura.
“Really dear, I’m fine now. Besides, you might need to practice your teleportation a bit m-” 
Pint’s mum was now alone with Don. “I think I need a drink,” Don said as he looked in bewilderment at the place where the four other ponies had been.
“I wouldn’t advise it,” Pint’s mum replied.

~~~

The rapid shift from day to night hadn’t helped Jen’s trip from Brisbane to wherever she was now. But when everything stopped spinning, she saw she was in a forest. “Where...”
“Twilight!” A voice called out. Jen looked to see a familiar orange Earth Pony trapped in a thicket of plants. An unconscious green stallion was next to her. “Ya gotta help! Ah passed out and when Ah woke up Ah was stuck in these dang plants and Earth’s Element was like that, ya gotta help him!”
“Right!” Twilight replied as she trotted forward, but her trotting was a little tipsy “Ugh, guess teleporting here takes out a lot of your magic.” Jen noticed that both ponies coats seemed slightly faded.
“Be careful sugarcube, we’re close to one a those entropo-whatsit things. Ah think it might be the thing that knocked me out.”
“I can help!” Jen rushed forward to the green stallion and focused on healing whatever was wrong with him. Oh magic, please work! A tan aura surrounded the unconscious pony. While Jen focuses on the stallion, Twilight helped free Applejack. 
As soon as she was free, Applejack rushed over to the the green pony’s side. “Hey!” Come on, it’s not worth ma life if ya die!”
The green pony twitched a little and then slowly opened in his eyes. He groaned a little and then spoke in something Jen thought sounded like spanish, but she could really only pick up the word Applejack. Then, much to Jen’s shock, Applejack started talking the same language as well. Magic.
“Glad to see he got his Element working so fast,” Twilight said as she trotted over to look over the pony. “But we’ll need to watch it on teleporting, it takes a bit out of me. But it looks like both of you have seen worse.”
The green pony mumbled something and then passed out again.
“So what do we do now?” Applejack asked.
“We should probably wait a little so I can build up my magic some more, plus it looks like your pony needs some rest.”
“Ah suppose bu-” Applejack froze, “oh shoot.”
“Wha-” Twilight froze now too.
“Hey is something wr-” Jen nearly collapsed in horror. The air was now filled with a screaming nothing. The wind didn’t blow, the animals grew still and the silence became deafening. Applejack instantly chucked the stallion on her back and ran. Jen and Twilight followed.
“We gotta move quick!” Applejack yelled.
“Darn it!” Twilight yelled. “Why now?!” 
“Ugh,” Jen was trying her best to gallop while keeping her salad down, “what... what’s going on?”
“It’s the entropy!” Twilight yelled. “We have to get out of its z-” Twilight slipped and fell on... soap. “Oh nonono!” 
“What now!?” Jen said in alarm.
“We got out of the frying pan and into the fire, we’re in a flux zone now!” 
“A what?” As Jen yelled she felt thick rain fall on her. Chocolate? Oh no not again!
“We have to get out of here!” Twilight’s horn was glowing again as she spoke, “I don’t know what happens when entropy touches a flux and I don’t want to find out!”
“But I thought you said that teleporting takes a lot out of y-” The four ponies disappeared in a flash.

~~~

“So that’s how you ended up here?” Rarity asked Fluttershy. The yellow pegasus had been absolutely shocked when her friends and two other ponies had materialized right below where she was flying.
“Yes, if it hadn’t been for Mr. Sky...” Fluttershy shivered as she looked at the unconscious pony on her back, “I don’t want to think about it. I said such horrible things.”
“Hey,” Pinkie patted her friend with a hoof, “we all make mistakes, besides this place makes you act a little crazy, especially if you drink stuff.”
“What?”
“It’s kind of a long story... ooh I’ll tell it to you when we get back home.” 
“We should probably be on our way then,” Rarity’s horn started to glow as she spoke. “I think all the Elements are working except for Twilight’s and I think she and Applejack have been at the meetup spot for a while.”
“What?” Neon was confused by Rarity’s words, “But I haven’t felt anything.”
“It’s pretty far away, that’s probably why.”
“Wait!” Neon cried out, “If it’s far then I’ll do it! You can’t use any more magic!”
“Don’t worry dear, with three Elements near us, we should be fine.”
“Yeah and as soon as we get there, we’ll summon Equestria and then we’ll ha-” Pinkie was cut off by the group of six.

~~~

Not gonna lie, there was something very surreal about seeing the San Diego convention center from afar. The last time I’d been there was for the Thanksgiving in 2010. MLP was just starting back then wasn’t it? Heh, and I just thought it was a little girl’s show back then. It really is amazing what can change in just two years. I’d gone from a high school student, to a college student, to a pegasus. “Life is strange,” I muttered as we got closer and closer to our destination.
“What?” Dash asked.
“I’m just thinking about the last time I was here, it feels so long ago.”
“I guess things have changed a bit.” 
“Understatement of the century.” I said as we passed over the the bridge that connected San Diego to Coronado. The feeling of honesty in the air had been constantly growing as we got closer and closer to our destination. But now I saw a bright flash on Coronado’s beach and three new feelings accompanied the honesty in the air: kindness, generosity, and laughter. “Oh god, Pinkie is there now isn’t she?”
“You bet she is,” Dash smiled, “bet the whole gang is there now an- Shoot!” 
“What?”
“If everypony else is there, do you know what that means?”
“Um, everypony else is there?”
“It means we’re last! Ugh, fastest flier in Equestria and I’m last!” 
“Well you are on Earth right now, so technically you’re still fastest in Equestria.”
“I think I know why your unicorn friend lobbed that milk at you now.” Dash suddenly increased her speed rapidly and raced off to meet her friends.
“Hey!” I tried to catch up with her, but five hours of flying had worn me out much more than her. “Wait for me!”
~~~
It was still night wherever Jen was now. She looked around and saw she was on a beach. The other ponies were scattered around her. But where’s...
“Good,” came a weak voice, “you’re up.” Jen turned around to see Twilight lying on the sand. Her coat and mane were now fully grey and her eyes looked tired. 
“Twilight!” Jen rushed to her side. “Oh my god, are you ok?”
“It-” Twilight coughed, “it’s nothing, everything with be fine. This is where everypony will meet, ok? Once they’re here you’ll just need to teleport a few miles out, you can feel the epicenter from here right?” Jen did feel an odd sensation in the air that was neither an Element or the discordant buzz of electronics. 
“I... I can feel it.”
“Ok,” Twilight breathed heavily, “I know you don’t know them all, but when they get here, work with the other elements. I’m sure you can do it.”
“But you’ll be here to help right?” Jen knew something was wrong with what she just said.
“I trust you, I know you humans can make good  fri-” Twilight collapsed in the sand just in time for Applejack to regain consciousness. 
“Twilight?” Applejack watched as her friend’s body crumpled into the sand. “TWILIGHT!!!!”
