“Who the fuck is President Jones?” I muttered to myself as I flipped through the newspaper in the library, “And why is he wearing such a silly hat?”
Before him had been President Carmichael. Now, I'm not an expert on American politics, but I'm pretty sure the guy in office when I left Earth had been named Obama.
Sighing, I dropped the newspaper onto the table. So not my Earth. Did Celestia know? I didn't know.
I would just need to ask her.
Fuck. Well, that answered that question at least. I was going back to Equestria. Honestly... even if it had been my Earth, that wasn't in question. I was still fucking pissed at Luna, but...
I still loved her. I had friends there. Better friends than I ever had on Earth, to be honest. But first...
“Did you find out what you needed to know?”
“Yeah. Similar to my Earth but not actually my Earth.”
After selling my gold watch... which was difficult in and of itself. Strangely, not just anyone is willing to buy a gold watch from a random teenager.
I finally managed to sell it for a hundred bucks, though. Pretty sure that was a complete ripoff, but I only needed enough for food and phonecalls.
Calling my family resulted in ending up at a pizza place. Anyone I called ended up at either the wrong person or 'That number is not available'.
So it was research time. Best place for that was the library.
She nodded and looked around. “...You really are from another world?”
I nodded as well. “Yeah. Something similar to this one. There was an accident, and I was stuck in Equestria.”
“Waiting for the mirror to open?”
I scowled at that and shook my head. “No. I was not told about the mirror.”
She stared at me for a second. “...Oh.”
“Yeah. When we go back, I'm going to have a bit of a talk with Luna about that.”
“So you are going back?”
I nodded and sighed. “Of course. This is not my Earth anyway. And Equestria is my home now. Come on, it will be dark soon, I think. I think the library is about to close anyway.”
Twilight nodded and got up, looking at her hand for a second. “This is so strange.”
“Yep.”
Walking outside revealed that it was indeed quickly getting towards night. “So... wanna get something more to eat or should we scout out the school?”
“Ugh.”
I smirked at that. Twilight got a vegetarian salad. I got as many big, thick, medium rate steaks as I could eat.
Twilight had been mildly disgusted by it all, even after I explained that cows here were not actually talking or thinking. I didn't care, it was delicious.
XXXXXXXXXX
“See anything?” I whispered.
Twilight looked around and then shook her head. “Nothing.”
Shrugging off my jacket, I wrapped it around my hand and the handle of my dagger before I slammed it into the window.
The shattering glass seemed to echo through the night and I quickly removed the shards as quietly as I could before freezing and listening hard.
No sirens, no alarms or yelling.
Still, somebody might have heard something, better hurry.
Putting the jacket over the windowsill so we could safely climb inside, I looked around. “Where is the offices?”
“Uhm... this way. I think.” Twilight said and lead the way through the dark school.
Nodding, I quickly followed along, keeping my head on a swivel. “Better hurry, the police might be on their way already.”
“Police?”
“Guards.”
“Oh.”
It didn't take long to find the office. It was locked, of course. Luckily, the door also had a window in it! Why do they always have windows in them, that's so stupid.
Breaking it was easy, as was reaching in and unlocking it to let us inside.
“You take the desk, I check the rest of the room.” I said as we entered the principals office. “Don't turn on the lights.”
Luckily, the moon was out tonight, so we had some light to work by other than the emergency signs.
I started to check the shelves and drawers. Not there, not there, not there... bottle of booze. Half empty as well.
If I had to handle teenagers all day, I would probably need a drink from time to time too.
A picture on the wall drew my attention. Celestia as she would look as a human. Still tall, her hair the same colors. Next to her was...
Luna. Human Luna. She was beautiful.
Shaking my head, I continued searching. She and I needed to have a talk when I returned.
“Page! I found it!”
“Awesome!”
Red and blue light started to flash outside the windows. Damn, there might have been a silent alarm. And it's so embarrassing that human Celestia had better security than the Alicorn version.
“Page?”
“It's the Guard. We need to get out of here and I just had a really bad idea on how to do it.”
We think his bad idea is starting a fire.
I figured that wisdom would come with age. Apparently, it doesn't apply to the Royal Pony Sisters... and Cadence.
Aw, missed an opportunity to trick Twilight into trying bacon.
Mmm, can't wait to see what this bad idea will be.
6903254 before Page they worked on principle WHAT COULD POSIBLY GO WRONG?WE HAVE ELEMENTS! this world Celestia and Luna didn't have elements so they started using wisdom out of nesesity. It seems as if having elements results in decres in common sense.
6903264 ...Most like.
Ah, so not entirely the EQG universe, but similar enough. And damn it Page, this will most likely have consequences! Well... at least the sirens won't be any problem... or anything from the other movies, since they were a result of magic from the first one.
Run to the front of the school and jump through the portal. If you can keep ahead of the cops, it'll be fine.
awww dang the short chapters this is a really good chapter with a cliffhanger.
6903322 Assuming they don't use magic trying to escape...
6903399 I don't think they even can.
6903401 said the raging 'she demon' when she put on the crown....
6903404 Perhaps, but we all know how that turned out. I don't think Twilight will try hijacking the element's power without having friendship involved.
I'm still a little bummed about Sunset and the fact that the Humane 6 still hate each other.
Oh well.
I get a very "how it should have ended" vibe from this and I like it.
Oh boy, I hope there wasn't security cameras too, if the police get an image of Page and Twilight they will go for the Page and Twilight of THAT world, and things will start to get weird, Cristal Hight will be suspected to try to sabotage the dance for some reason, if Page doesn't exist, then they will be baffled into why.
Twilight will be innocent and probably had witnesses…if she is not close in her lab with nobody but her dog…things could get very ugly if the polices see their faces
6903445
Ah Human 5, remember there is no Twilight here, she is still working on Crystal High
..And, ominously, still no sign of the human Pink Menace...
(Cue JAWS theme)

Usually, those are the best; it's so stupid it might just work! And they never see it coming!
6903369 I thought the same thing, but...
What if the cops manage to follow them?
6903317 I don't think it's that. They have to realize that even with the elements they've been cruising by on dumb luck.
I'll bet you 20 internet bucks that as soon as Sunset Shimmer went back through the portal to Equestria she found that there was nobody there and escaped because everyone had gone back to bed.
They can be that stupid.
It's the fuzz, cheese it!
6903720 All hail the plot driven idiot ball in canon MLP:FiM and EqG.
Oh snaps!
Also, I just realised...not only are they stealing the Crown, but they technically also 'kidnapped' Sunset Shimmer.
6903560 ahh right. Mores the pity, I guess
So he basically went to have steak before going for the Elements...admittedly, I would have done the same.
6903582 They can always stun the cops and toss them back. The cops would be so disoriented from turning into ponies they won't be able to respond--
Plus, they can simply lay the mirror face down on the floor until the portal closes (poor man's Stargate Iris).
I'm thinking Page is going to use Twilight as his "hostage" to get them to the portal.
6904351 It would still create all sort of trouble.
But the hostage idea sound fun. And it fit the "crazy enough to work" criterion.
Smooth move. How long did it take to search the office for that thing? Not many places it could have been....
6904456
True. There's the wild stories the cops would have when they returned♫
....and maybe the messy hamburger to clean up should any of them make a second attempt to go with the mirror face-down (but teleporting a few griffons or dragons in should be able to take care of that ).
But all that is an SEP, as far as Page would be concerned.
Nothing like breaking and entering that spells FRIENDSHIP
6902720 no... breaking into the school...
6905011
It's a very good read. If you like mass amounts of fucked humor and sarcasm.
Knew it.

Got a 'Humanity fuck yeah!' vibe from this line. I have to say: from what MLP and Harry Potter have taught me, I think I'll stick with logic and forego gaining magic, thank-you-very-much. What good is unlimited power if you are too ignorant to use it effectively? At least humans make the most of the tools we have.
7918483 well those of us smart enough to do do nowadays.
Let me guess... "They're madmen! They're heading for the
prison levelsoccer fields. If you hurry you might catch them!"Page: "I've got a knife and i'm not afraid to use it. Let us get to the statue and the slut won't get hurt."
"Please, just let him do it, I don't want to die."
6903571
don't be ridiculous, Pinkie jumped through the portal taking the others, Sci-Twi, and Vice Principal Luna with her while Page and Princess Twilight were eating.
And with the previous theme this one is:
Fuck the police! Run Bonny and Clied ruuun!!!
Fucking ruuuuuun bitchhhhhh!!!
