Twilight Sparkle was now following the path to them while looking at the signs. This way, that way, up, down, follow this, no follow this, turn back, beware of forks. My, what strange signs. She chuckled for a moment and then heard Rainbow Dash's voice rhyming poetically.

"'Twas Brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
all mimsy were the borogoves
and the mome raths outgrabe."

Twilight Sparkle suddenly looked up at the striped Rainbow Dash who was on a branch of a tree nearby. Shining Star was there too, looking right at Twilight as she came into view. Twilight suddenly looked around the area. "Lose something?" asked Rainbow Dash smiling at Twilight.

She suddenly looked up at Rainbow Dash. "Uh, no, I was just wondering."

"Oh, that's quite alright."

Shining Star then said, "Are you lost Twilight?"

"No," she replied.

Shining Star sighed. "Well I am..."

Rainbow Dash flew over to Twilight. "I'm Cheshire Dash, Twilight. What brings you to my tree?" she asked her.

"I just wanted to ask you which way I should go."

"That depends on where you wanna get to. If it doesn't matter, then it won't matter which way you go." Rainbow Dash's advice gave Twilight an idea. Then she added, "If you'd really like to know, she went that way," and pointed in two directions.

I would know if a pony done the split, but that's ridiculous! Two ways? Shining Star thought with a shocked look on his face.

"Who did?" Twilight asked.

"Rabbitshy," Rainbow replied.

"She did!?" Shining Star said amazed.

"She did what?"

Shining Star facehoofed himself. "You did just tell us Rabbitshy went in two directions..."

"Oh... If I was looking for Rabbitshy though, I'd ask Pinkie Hatter and Apple Hare," Rainbow Dash said.

Twilight Sparkle smiled and then replied, "I'll go visit them."

"Be careful! They're 120%... MAD."

"But I don't do well around MAD ponies."

"You can't help that. EVERYPONY is mad here. I'm mad, you're mad, he's mad, we're all... MAD."

Twilight looked at her in disbelief. "How do you know I'm mad?"

"Well, you're here aren't you? If you never came here, you never would've been mad to begin with. It is as simple as that."

"Well if the ponies are like that, I'll try not to upset them..." Twilight Sparkle said to herself.

Shining Star went up to her and said, "I'm coming with you Twilight." She smiled hearing that and started heading to Pinkie's house. Shining Star followed close behind her. Rainbow Dash flew up to the sky as a guide for the two ponies. Twilight was happy to have her friends back her up. She decided when she saw Celestia again, she'll tell her about the amazing adventure she was on. That is, if she could.

"So, Twilight, it was a coincidence finding you here with me in this world," said Shining Star. "I was wondering if we could spend some time with the others later."

Twilight smiled and replied, "Sure thing, Star."

Shining Star felt so happy. His green eyes shined real bright and then went normal after a few seconds.
