        Joshua had woken once again. "Thank goodness it was just a..." He then saw himself face to face with Pinkie.

"Hi." Said Pinkie.

"How are... you... here." He looked to the left and to the right. On the left was Rainbow Dash and Applejack both with a worried look on their faces. On the right was Twilight Sparkle and Rarity and Spike next to Twilight. Twilight looked confused and worried. "Okay. All 5 of you. Hey, wait. Aren't there supposed to be six of you elements?"

"Well. Yes. Fluttershy's behind Pinkie." said Twilight. All five of them slid to the side to reveal her looking shier than ever. She tried to hide somewhere in the small room but couldn't.

"I'm Fluttershy."

Joshua, already knowing her name, said."What was that? Didn't quite catch that."

"She's Fluttershy. The Element of Kindness. To your left, the Rainbow maned pony, Rainbow Dash, the Element of Loyalty. Next to her, Applejack, the Element of Honesty. Next to you is Pinkie Pie, the Element of Laughter. Next to me is Rarity, the Element of Generosity. Finally, me. I'm Twilight Sparkle, the Element of Magic. Together, we are the Elements of Harmony." She forgot spike, how rude is that.

"Um. Hello." said Spike. He looked disappointed.

"Oh yeah. Sorry Spike. Next to me is Spike, he's the Element of... uh... he's my assistant." Joshua had yet to find out how they got here.

"How did you get here anyways?" All of the ponies looked at each other. After a few seconds they all looked at Rainbow Dash.

"What?" She looked confused as to why they were looking at her. 

"You did a really fast Sonic Rainboom that got us here in the first place." Said Twilight. Joshua looked surprised. He new a lot about Sonic Rainbooms but, this one must've opened a portal for some reason.

"Hold up. Maybe a portal opened up."

"Impossible." said Twilight.

"Exactly what I thought. But, maybe it's like paper and water. When you put paper on water it gets weaker, and is easier to rip. So, maybe she did her Sonic Rainboom on a weak spot in the time space continuum, and ripped a portal. Like the paper." Twilight looked amazed.

"Wow. You're pretty smart. Even I couldn't have thought of that."

"Yeah. Heh heh. Thanks. We could make a device to track the weak spots."

"Yeah that's a great idea. But, where are we going to find the materials to build one?"

"Leave that to me. Follow me." Said Joshua. Everyone had a hard time processing that last part, except for Twilight. They all walked down the stairs and through the front door.

"What type of carriage is that?" Asked Rarity.

"1. It's not a carriage, it's called a car. 2. It's a pickup truck." Obviously Twilight knows what a car is. So that's why she told everyone.

"My Little Pony, My Little Pony." Sang Joshua's phone. Everyone took their eyes off of the Sky Blue Pickup Truck and stared at Joshua as the hot sun beat on their bodies.

"Ooh, what's that?" Asked Rainbow Dash. Joshua loved teaching curious minds.

"It's a phone. You're able to talk over long distances using cellular signals reflected..."

"I'm sorry. I don't speak egghead. I speak English." Said Rainbow Dash. Joshua sighed.

"Rainbow! That was uncalled for." Scolded Twilight.

He laughed a little. "It's alright. So, you can speak with others from far away." Said Joshua. He put his hand on his face and shook his head.

"Thank You. That's much better. You really are an egghead, or would you prefer nerd, or geek?" 

"I would prefer non of those. Just get in the car. Who wants shotgun?" Asked Joshua. Everyone looked at each other.

"Me, I guess?" Said Twilight. Twilight got in the back seat along with Rarity and Applejack.

"No no. You don't get it. When you call shotgun, you get to sit in the front seat."

"Oh." Twilight got out of the back seat and plopped herself into the front. Before Joshua drove away, he explained that everyone needs to put on a seat belt for safety. Once everyone was settled in their uncomfortable leather torn seats, he pulled out of the driveway.

"Who wants to listen to some music?" Everyone nodded their heads slowly. He plugged in his phone and started up his playlist. Smile started playing as it filled Pinkie Pies ears with familiarity.

"Hey wait. I sung this song!" She looked as joyful as ever.

"So, what's your name?" Asked Twilight.

"It's Joshua."

"So, Joshua. Got any family?" Asked Twilight.

"I had a wife and I have a daughter. I'm taking you guys to them now."

"I like meeting new people! Why are you not with her right now? Are you separated?" He slammed on the brakes. Everyone screamed and looked scared.

"Do. Not. Say that! We're not together anymore!" He sighed. "We, well. We filed a divorce." Everyone gasped.

"That's terrible! What made ya'll come to those senses?" Asked AppleJack.

"Well. One night, I got angry at my daughter for messing up my story. Then... my wife came in and, she dealt with the problem and came up with a solution. Then she dealt with me. We started fighting, I made her cry and... she yelled at me and said she wanted to file a divorce."

"Well. That's sad." Said Fluttershy sadly. She looked down. 

"I know. Clara got the rights to my daughter, Emily," He said trying to hold back his tears. "But it's alright, ya'know... that's the way life goes sometimes." He stopped talking for a while and drove on.
