Twilight Sparkle pulled her eyes away from a large book, before turning to check another one. it hadn't been long since she'd become an Alicorn and she was eager to see what her new magical capabilities were, and she decided to use it on a spell that she'd been dying to try. It was supposed to be a form of teleportation spell, only capable of traveling through the fabric of their dimension, reaching other worlds! She grinned, knowing that she just had to finish a few minor calculations then she'd be ready to try it out. While a small purple dragon didn't share her enthusiasm.
"Uh... Twilight?" Spike asked, but she hadn't heard him. "Don't you think this might be a bit much? I mean, you've only recently become an Alicorn, maybe you should tone it down a bit." He asked, and this time she had heard him.
"A bit much? Spike, if I can pull this spell off, then imagine what it could mean! We could meet beings from another dimension, we could possibly create an amazing alliance between our kinds, think of the various goods and services that we could provide for each other, think of all the knowledge that we could contain, think of the millions of possibilities! I need to see how powerful my magic is, if it's about the same as the Princesses, or if it's weaker." Twilight shouted, never once losing her large smile, which made Spike feel a bit nervous.
"Okay... As long as you've got it under control... Last time you tried this we ended up getting chased by Manticores in the Everfree. Then there was the time we were sent to Appaloosa..." Spike shuddered at the memory, there had been at least ten of the feline like beasts trying to hunt them down. However Twilight had stopped listening and continued to search through the various tomes and books, making her final calculations.
Steven let out a loud sigh as he sat on his couch, knowing that Connie was coming over for sword training he had been preparing himself for hours, but was just getting bored waiting for her. The other gems were keeping themselves busy, considering it had been a slow week for change, no monsters, no creatures, no missions, and finally nothing to do. Steven looked around the room and took in what the gems were doing. Amethyst sat at the counter, eating as much as she wanted, Pearl was organizing several objects, while Garnet sat next to him with her head laid back on the couch, most likely trying to relax. Steven was about to let out another loud and long sigh, when he heard knocking on the door, which made him leap up in excitement.
"CONNIE'S HERE!" Steven shouted happily, his eyes literally becoming stars, while the Gems all let out silent laughs. It was obvious that they had certain feelings for each other, but if asked either one of them that they'd push it away and quickly try to change the subject. Steven flung the door, open startling the girl who stood on the other side. It was Connie, Steven knew that from the beginning, and today she wore her usual battle attire, she had with her a bag that most likely held her other clothes, for her parents still did not know about this yet.
"Were you trying to give me a heart attack!?" Connie asked, still taking in sharp breaths.
"I'm sorry, I've just been so excited! Pearl said she had something really cool planned for today!" Steven shouted, and Pearl quickly put in her side of the story.
"No I didn't. I said I had something significant planned." Pearl said, not once looking away from her little project. She had begun to stack several small boxes on top of each other. Steven grabbed Connie's hand and quickly ran through the large room, before grabbing Pearls arm with his other hand, dragging her towards the Warp-Pad.
"C'mon, c'mon,c'mon!" Steven yelled, while Pearl let out a sigh.
"All right Steven... We can go..." Pearl said, but noticed Amethyst rushing towards them. "Oh, great..." Pearl muttered, although no one noticed.
"Wait up! I'm coming with!" She shouted, quickly leaping onto the large Warp-Pad, nearly knocking Steven and Connie off.
"Amethyst, be more careful!" If you'd had done that while we were warping then they would have fallen out for sure!" Pearl yelled, but Amethyst rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah... Let's just go all ready!" Amethyst said, before they began to warp, leaving Garnet alone in the room. The blue/white light that surrounded them made it impossible to pick out any complex details about their appearance, showing only their shadows. Steven hummed a soft tune, before stretching his arms, and felt his elbow hit Amethyst's face. He let out a soft gasp, and felt Amethyst gently push him. The two began laugh, while shoving each other, even getting Connie to join in. The three of them were quickly interrupted when Pearl began to shout.
"Would you three stop!? This is serious! Any of you could end up out there, with no way to return! We were barely able to get Steven the last time it happened! You've been too reckless lately! I just don't know why you find it so hard to listen!" Pearl yelled, and Amethyst narrowed her eyes.
"So, you don't want me to do this?" She asked, pushing Steven again, this time a bit more forceful. Pearl let out a gasp, and glared at the purple Gem. "Well, then how about this?" Amethyst asked, shoving Steven, this time hard enough to make him wobble. Pearl noticed this and began to say something, but was quickly cut off by Amethyst. "I bet you really don't want me to do this!" She shouted this time, pushing Steven like was a crate of fruit, which sent him tumbling towards the warp's edge, which made them all gasp. Steven pinwheeled his arms, hoping to regain his balance, but despite this began to teeter over the warp's edge. Connie rushed forward, quickly grabbing onto Steven's hand, but the momentum combined with his weight only succeeded in pulling her down with him.
"STEVEN!" Both Pearl and Amethyst shouted, while the two slowly floated away from the warp, they could only watch as the blue/white light slowly began to disappear from view, they began to feel cold, horribly, horribly cold.
"S-S-Steven...?" Connie asked, while Steven turned to look at her. "W-What's g-g-g-gonna happen? Will the Gems b-be able to f-f-f-f-find us?" She asked, and Steven sighed, he felt it was only fair to tell her the truth.
"I don't know..." Steven replied, but then noticed something from below them, a violet glow began to fill the area below them, acting like a warp, slowly moving them upwards. "It's the Gems! They've come to save us!" Steven shouted.
"That was fast... A little too fast..." Connie muttered, but it wasn't audible over Steven's shouts of joy. They both began to laugh, realizing that they'll be able to put this behind them, and hopefully just move on.
"Come on Twi! You've got this! Reel in that dimensional monster!" Rainbow Dash shouted, mostly as a joke, but fully aware that Twilight may actually bring a monster.
"Rainbow Dash, I can't break my concentration! If I do then the spell will fizzle out..." Twilight said, sweating heavily, taking in deep breaths, just generally stressed.
"Yah ain't lookin' too good right now Sugarcube... Maybe yah should..." Applejack had begun, but she trailed off, noticing something. The large pillar of purple light had drifted over the Everfree, whether she had meant to do this or not was unknown. "Uh... Twi, you do know that it's over the Everfree now, right?" Applejack asked, and Twilight let out a gasp, quickly looking upwards she was able to verify that it had indeed moved over the Everfree. This simple action had broken the concentration that Twilight needed to keep the spell going and saw two distant figures drop from the disappearing pillar of light, they began to plummet down towards the ground, and she could see trees shake as the two hit them.
"Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no!" Twilight yelled, realizing her mistake, and the fact that she had just possibly killed two creatures from another dimension. "We... We have to find them! Make sure they're all right!" Twilight shouted.
"Um... Twilight..." Fluttershy's quiet voice spoke from behind her lavender friend. "You sound really concerned... I mean... More concerned than one should be..." Fluttershy said, which was strange having come from the very shy mare.
"I'm so concerned because I may have just started a dimensional war! We need to find them and explain what happened!" Twilight yelled, panic evident in her voice. The six mares agreed, and quickly rushed off towards the Everfree, leaving a sleeping baby dragon.
