"...and finally, this is the Everfree forest. Don't go in there, it's really dangerous," Starswirl said. She gestured to the massive forest, and I didn't doubt her. There were soft growls coming from between the trees, a few large insects flying around above the trees, and strange blue flowers that glowed.
I stared in awe. "Wow... We have a forest somewhat like this at home. It's not dangerous, but it looks the same. Didn't you say we were going to stop at Sugarcube Corner to meet some more of your family?"
Starswirl gasped and said, "Oh my gosh, yes! I'd totally forgotten about that! I'll lead the way, and you can meet my cousins and my aunt and uncle! You'll really like their daughter, she's a ton of fun!"
Once we got to Sugarcube Corner, I realized why she said I'd like her. I'd already met her! "Hello! My name is Strawberry Fudge, this is Party Favor and Cherry-top! It's great to finally meet you, Asteroid, is it? I've heard a lot about you from Gem and Star."
"Yeah, Strawberry. Did they tell you I'd met a human version of you, and not only that, but we're housemates?"
"Yeah! I was like 'WHA-A-A-AT?!' But they were like..." Strawberry rattled on for a good ten minutes, the her dad Cheese Sandwich came in. He told her it was time for dinner and that me and Star had to leave.
"Aww, but Da-a-a-ad..."
"Strawberry, they've already eaten. You can come over tomorrow if you'd like though!" Cheese said.
I answered, "No thanks, Mr. Sandwich, I'm heading home tomorrow. Maybe next time I'm in Ponyville though?"
"Okay everypony," Twilight said, a small clipboard floating in front of her, "I'll quickly count heads... Okay, we're all here. Now, we're heading to Canterlot High, so you'll all be really confused other than Asteroid, Sunset, and I. We'll explain once we get there and teach everypony to walk. Just head through the portal and we'll group up on the other side."
All the ponies walked through the portal. It was easier for me since I'd been through once, but not as easy as I'd hoped. I was still a bit dizzy when I came out, but everything was fine otherwise. Everyone else was groaning and either holding their stomach or their head. Twilight stood in a long, very pretty dress, much like the dress she wore to her coronation that my mom had showed me.
I saw Gem Fire and realized she was cuter as a human.
Her hair ended right at her shoulder blades, as messy and unkempt as ever. Her shirt was white with a violet collar and sleeves, the same color as her feathers. Her cutiemark was on the left sleeve, and she wore a slightly duller violet skirt. White tennis shoes and soft pink socks finished it all off.
I blushed so heavily my mom felt my head. It made me jump, and she said, "You feel warm. Are you alright, Asteroid?"
Luckily, Bumper, Trigger, Clef, and Crystal came outside that that point. I said quickly, "Everyone, this is my family. Bumper, Trigger, and Treble Clef are triplets-"
"Pain in the butt to carry and have..." My mom interupted quickly.
"And Blazing Crystal, my older sister."
"It's so nice to finally meet you, everyone!" Starswirl said. I jumped. Starswirl was the only one out of the many ponies that wasn't still dizzy or even on the ground. She was standing perfectly, and walked over to Crystal as though she'd walked like that her whole life! She must've seen how surprised I looked, and said, "I've been here quite a few times before. Sorry I never told you Mom, but I visit on a constant basis."
"Well, Star, I'd ground you, but there's no point. It doesn't really matter, because there isn't a version of you here."
"Good point, Twilight, I hadn't thought of that."
"Wait, Star, if you've been here multiple time, how have I not seen you?" I asked.
"I go down to the Sugar Cube Corner all the time. You can ask Mr. and Mrs. Cake."
"Well, all right then. Oh! And Crystal, you and Gem Fire have similar names, didn't you notice that?"
Crystal replied, "Yeah. Gem to Crystal and Fire to Blaze- Asteroid, don't act stupid."
I scrunched my nose and puffed my cheeks, and Gem came up and pushed the air out of my cheeks. "Stop looking so adorable, Asteroid." She surprised me with a quick kiss on the lips. I then grabbed her and pulled her into a full kiss.
"Okay, everybody, Crystal will give you the tour, just go inside."
Once everyone was inside, Sunset said, "Oh... oh my C... Celestia... Twilight, I... I don't know what to call this... is it incest?"
"Well... No, technically, it really isn't incest. They're not related, so... Aww!"
"I ship it."
"What do you mean by 'ship it'?"
"Oh, here at Canterlot High, there are TV shows with characters that either date or don't and you like how cute they are or would be, you say 'I ship it'. Most people call themselves 'Shippers'."
"Ooh-kay then. Let's just go inside, I heard you made a few renovations to the school."
"Oh, yeah, you'll see one of them right as you enter the commons area."
