		"you're doing great, sweetie bell, just a little more." said twilight to the white unicorn in front of her. Sweetie bell's horn glowed brighter as she put a little more energy into the spell. Suddenly, with a small flash of light a popping sound, a parasprite appeared in front of her.
She let out a squeal of joy as she opened her eyes and saw that her latest attempt at the summoning spell had been successful. 
"great job, sweetie!" said applebloom from the table where she was practicing her potion making. She had just completed her apple enhancement potion and was putting a cork in the bottle.
"Yeah, you finally managed to do it." Added scootaloo, as, with a final turn, she tightened the last screw in the motor she was working on.
"thanks girls, it looks like you're through with your projects too."
"good job, for all three of you. It looks like you're all ready to move to the next level of your studies. But that will have to wait until next week, your time is up." said twilight as she examined the fruits of their labor. 
As the three friends left the library, sweetie bell said to her two friends," meet me at the club house tomorrow, i have something i want to show you two."
"So do i," said applebloom.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The next day, Saturday.
As Sweetie bell entered the club house the next day, she heard her two friends arguing about something.
"What are you two arguing this time?"
"well," said applebloom "A little while back i received this strange seed,and i was curios, so i planted it to see what it would grow into, and this is what sprouted." She pointed a finger at the table. On it sat a large green and red bunch of fruit about the size and shape of a bunch of bananas. "I think it's a devil fruit."
"No it's not, its just a bunch of ugly bananas!" Said scootaloo, her wings buzzing in frustration.
"What is a devil fruit anyway?" Asked sweetie bell.
At this, Applebloom said "As i understand it, they are a type of magical fruit that, when eaten, grants the one who ate it great power. Further more, they are divided into three different categories, Zoan, Logia, and Paramecia. But there is one down side to the devil fruit. who ever eats it loses the ability to swim, forever."
"Really?"
"Really, they sink like a rock. Plus there are other weaknesses depending on the particular devil fruit."
"Like what." Asked sweetie, intrigued.
"Well, take the wax-wax fruit for instance. It lets a pony produce massive amounts of wax that is supposed to be strong as iron, but when the wax is exposed to intense heat, it melts. Also the wax can be shaped into any form instantly."
"Well, that does seem kind of useful." Said scootaloo.
"Well, forget about that for now girls, check out this spell book i found on Friday in Twilight's Basement!"
From her bag, she pulled a book with the title "interdimensional summoning". 
"Interdimensional summoning? whats that?" asked applebloom as she studied the cover of the tome.
"Well, going from what i saw when i took a quick peek inside, i think the spells in this book will let me summon creatures from other dimensions." she said
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" asked scootaloo, a nervous look crossing the young Pegasus' face. "the last time you tried a spell you didn't know much about, you ended up filling carousal boutique with tickle bugs."
"Yeah," said applebloom as she shuddered, "i still have nightmares about."
"This will be different, You'll see. Last time, i didn't have much experience with this kind of thing. Besides, i plan on doing this spell out side, where we will be able to put distance between ourselves and whatever appears quickly, if we need to."
After they found a part of sweet apple acres that was deserted and sufficiently far away from the house, sweetie bell prepared the summoning scroll and placed it on the ground and stood back.
"Well, here goes nothing." she said and began chanting the incantation. As she focused energy into her horn, it began to glow brightly. As she continued to chant, the glow got brighter and a breeze started blowing out of nowhere. The scroll on the ground in front of her started to glow as well and seemed to expand. As scootaloo and applebloom watched, the scroll seemed to grow to immense proportions and sink into the ground, replaced by a portal of equal size.
"Look at sweetie bell, I think something's going wrong with the spell." said applebloom. As they watched, the expression on her face went from one of concentration to one of severe strain. "Shit, i think she's losing control of the spell! I knew this was a bad idea."
Suddenly, there was a loud pop and there was a log cabin stand where the scroll was and sweetie bell was laying on the ground, out cold. As applebloom and scootaloo watched, the door to the cabin opened and a figure stepped out. it stood about six feet tall, was rather fat, carried a large stick in one hand, and a tiny orange kitten sat on its shoulder. "What the hell is going on out here?" 
It suddenly noticed sweetie bell lying on the ground, took the kitten off its shoulder, told it to stay on the porch, and started walking towards her. At that moment though, a rainbow colored blur landed in between them.
"Its rainbow dash!" scootaloo said as her idol confronted the strange creature. They exchanged words for a few moments, it getting rather heated at the end, and rainbow suddenly threw a punch that ended up laying the creature out cold.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The first thing that greeted him upon waking was an immense pain in his head. The second thing was the meowing of a hungry kitten. "Okay Franky, okay, just give me a second to get something for this h-whoa!" suddenly, something large and pink slammed into his chest, knocking him back onto the couch where he just lay, trying to get back the wind that had been knocked out of him as the pink thing sitting on cried out in a bubbly voice, "Hey, girls, its awake!" 
As the pink creature sat on his chest, he studied it and quickly realized two things 1) it was female and 2) she was completely naked. Suddenly, the sound of other people approaching reached his ears. As they entered the room he noticed that were all unclothed and female. Further more two of them had wings, one had a horn, and another had both wings and a horn. The one with both wings and a horn and said "my name is twilight sparkle and these are my friends, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, the one sitting on your chest is Pinkie pie, and i believe you've already met Rainbow dash."
As she introduced each one, they stepped forward and offered a greeting. 
Applejack was covered in what appeared to be tan fur with a stetson on her head with blond hair. "Howdy" she said with a little wave. Rarity had pure white fur with long dark purple hair that was perfectly coiffed, and a long horn on her forehead. "charmed, deary." Rainbow dash had light blue fur with long rainbow colored hair and wings. She just glared at him silently.
Fluttershy was light yellow with long pink hair and an equally long tail and a pair of wings also. "Hello," she squeaked. 
Pinkie pie was, as her name suggested, bright pink with a darker shade of pink for her hair and tail. "Hello! Do you want to be friends,do you like parties-" her string of questions was suddenly cut off as a purple light enveloped her and lifted her off of him.
"What is your name, pray tell? And pinkie, what have i told you about doing that to guests?" said twilight. 
He sat up and studied them for a moment, than said, "My names Jaruk Richardson ." Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his foot. When he looked down, he saw that a fluffy orange kitten was chewing on his foot. "There you are Franky, i was wondering where you went to, have you behaved yourself?" the kitten looked up at him and meowed, then proceeded to bite him again. Then, deciding to ignore the fact that they were all butt naked for the moment, he turned to them and said,  "Oh, can any of you lovely ladies tell me where i am?"
They all blushed at that, and twilight, who seemed to be acting as spokesperson, or, in this case, spokespony, for the whole group, said "You're in the golden oak library, located in ponyville." 
His eyes widened in surprise at that, then narrowed as he thought, "Shit, no wonder they looked so familiar, I'm in equestria!"
"Could one of you please tell me how i got here? The last thing i remember is skittles over there," at this he pointed to rainbow, and she shot him a dirty look "punching me in the face just outside my cabin." 
"Well, we thought that it might be a good idea to bring you here so that we could examine you and determine if you were dangerous or not."
"Well, you don't have to worry about me in that regard. I'm not the kind of person that goes around hurting others for shits and giggles. The only time i would consider any sort of violence is if i was severely provoked."
A skeptical look crossed twilight's face as said, "That's not what rainbow said. She claimed that she found you standing over sweetie bell, who was unconscious, holding a large stick."
Jaruk, deciding to keep his knowledge of their world to him self until he could talk to Celestia and Luna, just played along, "So that's her name. Well, i didn't lay a finger on her. I found her like that. As for the stick, I keep that laying around for in case someone breaks in."
Suddenly, Franky sank his fangs into jaruk's hand and started chewing. "OW! I have just one more question for you," he said. "And what is that?" Said Twilight. "Can i head back to my place so i can feed Franky before he chews my hand off? He tends to get a little mean when hes hungry." 
She stood there thinking for a moment before she answered. "Of course, we can't have the poor thing going hungry now can we?"
