Dusk Shine always felt funny after a cross dimensional jump, even using stored magic and with the aid of his new device it left him feeling weak and disoriented. Thankfully the spell worked almost perfectly and he only had to detour through two or three other dimensions, one had him laid over for a full hour before sending him to his destination. It was a funny universe one of it's inhabitants was a yellow haired behemoth that kept calling him "talking horsey" despite all the times he clearly said his name.

1 hour ago Pop's Diner:

Johnny Bravo was enjoying a strawberry milkshake, sporting a fresh black eye beneath his trademark shades. The diner was completely empty with Pop's being in the back making a fresh batch of meatloaf. He laid back into the red vinyl booth of the retro style restaurant, contemplating deep thoughts.

"Mmmmm! Meatloaf," he said flinging his head back as drool slowly descended from his mouth. Before he could further ruminate on the finer aspects of bread shaped meat dishes, a flash of light and a loud crack filled the room.

"Carl, this better not be another one of your geeky science majiggers," he angrily protested while reflexively protecting his hair from the possible threat to his follicles.

The bright flash would have blinded him without his sunglasses, which allowed him to quickly spot a small purple horse at the center of disturbance, it's hind end had what appeared to be a tattoo.

"Man! Momma won't let me get a tattoo and here's a horse with one,I never get to have any fun."

The strange creature turned to Bravo before looking at a small device strapped to his hoof. "Aggh two layovers in a row, and this one is for a whole hour, Twilight is going to be ticked if I am tardy for our study group!"

Johnny could only stare blankly his mind slowly coming to grips with the sight before him.

"Wait, sorry. I am being rude, and after all I did popped into your Universe uninvited, my name is Dusk Shine," the purple pony claimed.

One of Johny's eyebrows arched, his mind racing to comprehend this turn of events, giving him only one course of action. Here he was, greeting a being from not just from another world but from another universe; true first contact in every sense. He knew then the monumental task before him but he continued undaunted, quickly shrinking the distance of the two beings. Two so different on the outside but perhaps on the inside they are filled with the same fears, same desires, the same loneliness that can only be filled by just knowing that they are not alone in the infinity of existence. The distance between the two now only a matter of inches, large purple eyes staring into their owner's own reflection cast by Bravo's sunglasses, both continued to stare unsure of the others motivations.

Slowly Bravo reached out his hand, a single digit slowly extending, finally resting at the tip of Dusk's muzzle. Before Dusk could open his mouth to protest, Bravo spoke.

"Talking horsey" he said.

"No, it's Dusk." 

"Horsey."

"No, repeat after me Duu ssskk SHhhhh iiiiinnnnee."

Bravo in perfect imitation of Dusk's mannerisms responded,
"TAaaa lllkkiiinggg Horr  sssseey."

"Dusk Shine," he responded as fast as he could.

"Horsey," Bravo repeated equally fast.

This went on until the timer on Dusk's wrist counted down to zero, in which a familiar white light began to surround Dusk.He let out a sigh of relief to finally be back on his way to his destination.

"Ohh thank Solaris, I'll finally be out of here" Dusk groaned.

Unfortunately Dusk did not notice that a few stray strands of magic had grabbed a hold of the annoying pest in front of him, dragging the strange creature on his inter-dimensional journey.

In the infinite void between world's before being drug into Dusk Shine's destination Bravo had one last thought, profound in it's simplicity.

"Woah, it's really big in here!"

Present Canterlot:

Another bright flash finally brought Dusk to his goal or at least close enough, his plan was to reach the library on Canterlot, but he knew that the new device he used for the spell might throw off his aim and timing a bit until he worked out the bugs. It also beat arriving completely exhausted instead of the temporary exhaustion that came from these jumps. Before he made his way to the library he decided to check out the local paper like he and Twilight always do on these little trips to see if there where any major differences in how the world was running in their two universes. 

He trotted up to a paper vendor and tossed some bits to the old mare running it.

"Hmmm, wait, this parasprite attack is exactly like the one that happened at home. But that was days ago," he whispered to himself.

He checked the date and noticed it was indeed from two days ago.

"Mam this seems to be an old newspaper, could I get today's?"

"What are you talking about? that is today's paper you idjit!" the crotchety mare replied.

"Ohh no oh no, somehow I ended up here too early. Oh no, what will I do now?" he whispered to himself, completely unaware of the teal unicorn slowly creeping up on him.
