//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: Teleportation // Story: Brothers and Sisters; May Our Paths Cross // by Emerald Gem //------------------------------// "Great job, Anthena! I'm glad you've been studying this week!" Princess Twilight Sparkle said as Anthena, a light pink unicorn mare with a light green mane, turned Spike into a series of animals including a dog, cat, snake, and even a goat. "Thank you, Mrs. Twilight!" Anthena said proudly. "T was helping me as being my assistant to do my magic on." "Did he help you read the spell?" "No, I used the spell you taught me..." Anthena said, clearly comfused that her own mentor didn't remember teaching her something that took days to learn. "Oh!, right! Sorry, Anthena." Twilight said rather awkwardly. "Am I done now? " Spike said, rather irritated as he stood their while the girls babbled on. "Right. You may go now, Spike." Twilight said. "Bye Uncle Spike!" Anthena said as Spike dashed out of the room. When Spike came out, Star trotted in with Prism Bolt. "Whoa, what's his deal?" Star said to Prism as they walked down the hallway to the library where Twilight and Anthena were. "Why are you asking me? I have no clue!" Prism said, doing a series of flips in mid air. "I was talking aloud, you retard." Star said harshly. As they trotted nearer, Prism said, " Hey Star, wanna spook Annie?" "Go ahead, but it's going to be a lost cause." Star said camly, knowing he would have no chance a unicorn who's been studying for years on magic. "Aww, Star, don't be a barrel on the laughs." Prism said, pouting. "Laughs don't come in barrels. They come as the body's response to delight." Star said smartly. Prism rolled his eyes. As they came to the door, Prism flew up to the ceiling and and crawled quietly around so that he was above Anthena's head. He was about to say 'BOO!' when Anthena said, " Prism, I know your up there" "AWW COME ON!!!!!" Prism yelled, who startled Star but not Twilight. "Mom! Mooom! MOM!" Star called. She then tipped over a jar of ink so that it was slightly across from the line of inks. It was a trick her aunt Applejack taught her. "Wha-What?" Twilight said, letting her magic drop the book she was reading gently on the table. She turned to see that Star and Prism had entered. "Hello, Prism. Hi sweetie. What are you two doing here?" Twilight said, trotting over to the table to fix the ink that was out of place. "Please don't call me that..." Star said under her breath. "Nothing. We had nothing to do so we thought that Flash would have some training for us.." Prism said as he did summer salts in the air. "Yeah. So is dad here?, mom?" Star asked. "Sorry, you guys, but he's not here. He went to hang with his old co-workers today." Twilight said, trotting up to her book shelf. "Though I do have some books on how to do some moves to..." "Mrs. Twilight, sorry to burst you bubble, but books are for eggheads." Prism said with a snort. "...Win the equestria 500" Twilight said, taking the book with her magical grasp. As soon as Prism heard those words, he snacked the book from Twilight and flipped through the pages frantically. "OMG!! This is so AWESOME!!!! Now I can learn all kinds of signature moves!" Prism said, lying down on a nearby cushion to read. "Star, would you like a copy?" Twilight asked. "Sure" Star said as she took the book her mother handed her. She sat down in a hammock her mother had bought her. Twilight said that sometimes it's good the get a break and not tire herself out all the time. "Mrs. Twilight? Are you in here?" A familiar voice said. Twilight turned to see Golden Delicious, the son of Applejack, trot in with Turquoise Blitz, Anthena's colt friend. "Hello Del and Turquoise. What brings you two here?" "Well, Mrs. Twilight, Ah think we may have a problem. Mom told me that you would be best to help in this situation." Del said. "Ok, I'm going. But it would be best if you stayed here. I would not want to let any of you younger ponies get hurt." Twilight said, galloping near the door until she forgot that Turquoise was in the room. "Oh! And what did you want?, T?" "Oh, nothing. I just came to see how Annie was doing." "Ok. Well, I'm off! T and Del, your in charge. Take care!" Twilight said, Galloping out the room. "Hey!! Why do they get to be in charge?! Prism yelled after Twilight. "Because, were older!" T said. "Excuse me?!!" Prism said, wings flaring up and flying to Turquoise. "I was born before you!!!" "Ok then, Prism. I meant Golden. But I am 'Bigger' than you." T said, rather happily. "Oh, now you think that just cause your bigger means your better, wise guy?!!" Prism said with flames in his eyes. "T-T?" Annie said as she started to smell something burning. "Prism! Stop!" "Well then, Prism Bolt. Why didn't twilight put YOU In charge?" T answered. "Because she..... Umm...... She...... Wasn't thinking straight! Yeah, that's it!" Prism replied hesitantly. "Ha, Looser." Star said, hearing their conversation. "Oh ya? Then why didn't she put YOU in charge Star?" "Cause, I don't want to be in charge. Or else I would be in the situation your in." "And why wouldn't you want to deal with this?" Prism replied harshly. "Ya too chicken?" "Excuse me??!!" Star said, slamming her book down and trotting up to Prism. "Prism, why are being so rude?" T said. "Well why don't you try to stop me?, scince YOU are supposedly in CHARGE!!!!" Prism said. As the three started bickering, Claire, Nidra, Candy, and illusion walked in. "Oh! Let's have a PARTY! Candy said as she jumped up in the air. Then she got an idea. "STAGE DIVE!!" Candy called as she Jumped off the pedestal Annie's book was laying on. "CANDY??!!" Prism, Star, T, Claire, Annie, illusion, Del, and Nidra yelled as Candy jumped and crash landed on all of them scince they had all bunched up in a big pile. Star ha took action and caught Candy before she fell on the floor. "Aww, you guys are no fun..." Candy said, pouting. Star just dropped her on the floor. "Aww Star, were you scared to get your wittle wings all hurty-wurty?" Prism teased, noticing that Star jumped out of the pile to save Candy. "PRISM!!!!" Star said, tackeling Prism to the ground. "Guys!! Guys!! Guess what!!" Annie piped up out of nowhere. "What?" All of them said in unison except for Star and Prism, who were beating each other up. "Line up in a circle" Annie said, levitating the spell book. "How are you even able to read that?" Illusion asked, noting that Annie was blind. "Oh! Mrs. Twilight colored all the words in different colored pens." Annie said, showing him the book. "I can only see by colors." "Oh! Ok." he said, giving her a smile. As every pony was lined up around her in a circle, Annie's horn started to glowing. "Ok, you all are going to feel a little bit funny..." Annie said. As her horn glowed even brighter, all of the ponies were surrounded by her magic aura. Then Candy giggled, which turned into a laugh. "Sheesh, buck up Cand-...Buck up Can-.... Pft.. HAHA!!!" Star started but was cut off by funny, tingling feeling. Soon, the whole room was in laughter. "O-ok..Pft.. Here it com-comes..." Annie said, trying to hold her laughter so she could consentrate. All of a sudden, there was a huge flash of light. Then, all the ponies were in... Ponyville? "ANNIE!!! ALL OF THAT AND WERE IN PONYVILLE??!!!!" Prism screamed. "Hmm... That's odd. We should be in Canterlot." Annie said. "Umm... Annie? Are you sure we are in Ponyville?" Claire said as she pointed to a pony walking along the path. No body recognized her. "Oh no..."
