I poked at the rich chocolate pudding with the spoon held in my magic. It was thick and rich and wobbly and I had no idea how the kitchen did it, but each time I had this, it ended up better than the last.
“...I’d just want to say thanks for inviting me,” Midnight said from across the table as she licked some chocolate of her spoon She was sitting next to Sunset and across from me and Luna, “but I can’t help but feel like I’m intruding.”
“You are not,” Luna told her with a smile, “I think it was a good idea of Page’s to invite you. I think all of us would be interested in hearing more of your world?”
Sunset nodded happily, “That would be interesting. I’m… still in the human world there, wasn’t I?” she asked with a small thoughtful frown.
Midnight shifted her wings slightly and gave Sunset a smile as she nodded, “You are. I made us a set of enchanted journals, what’s written in one appear in the second. We usually write once a week or so. Last I heard of you, you were preparing to play at a school dance.”
Sunset nodded, “So I was doing good?”
Midnight smiled at her, “Seemed to be,” before she grinned, “You did seem annoyed to be back in school after the summer holiday though.”
Sunset groaned and let her head drop a bit, “Oh, you have no idea. That was the worst thing about being thrown into a world full of hairless apes-”
“Hey!” I protested with a grin. Sunset ignored me.
“-, being back to school again. No longer be treated like an adult. And the guys kept staring at my chest which was so strange at first!”
“That would be annoying,” Midnight admitted and shifted her wings, “But there is so much you can learn there. No real magic, they do everything with technology! How awesome is that!”
“You know, you could just head over there again and check it out yourself,” I suggested and had some more of that chocolate, “The portal is opening again in… uhm…”
“A little over half a year,” Luna supplied with a smile, “And I have not forgotten the promise I made to visit with you. Seems interesting.”
“Awesome,” I said with a grin, “I’m taking you out to a steak dinner.”
Besides, Sunset had reminded me of something very important. Boobs. I missed boobs and I bet Luna would have some extra awesome ones.
Luna looked rather uncertain about that, but flicked her ears, “Perhaps not that,” she said before she smiled, “But I am looking forward to seeing a world similar to where you came from.”
I nodded, “Yeah, me too. Last time I was there I didn’t really have time to run around and picking things up,” I admitted before I grinned, “I have a shopping list longer than my wing. What about you, Sunny?”
She quickly nodded, “Me too. No magic or horn sucks, but if there is anything humans do well, it’s making stuff. I miss my phone.”
“Won’t be nearly as useful here without a connection or an internet,” I warned her, “And I’m not sure a touchscreen work with hooves or horn.”
“I could get a stylus,” Sunset decided before she frowned in thought, “...you’re right though. They really need the internet for it to really work well We just have to make our own then.”
“Not sure how well that would work,” I admitted, “but a laptop and some way to charge it is at the top of mine. We’ll have to see how much of that stuff I remember. Wonder what new games has come out?”
“Do you know what they are talking about?” Luna asked as she turned to Midnight. The other alicorn shrugged her wings a bit before answering,
“A little. A phone was human communication device and a laptop is a data storage and processing device,” Midnight explained, “Both could be useful on their own, but without connecting back to the human ‘internet’ which is a planet wide communication network they use, they would be limited in functionality?”
The explanation turned into a question as she looked to me.
“Pretty much,” I agreed, “I used to work with them before I arrived here, you know? Kinda miss them sometimes.”
Mostly when running out of ink for my quill. Oh! Ballpoint pens! So many ballpoint pens! I’m going to need to stock up until the portal opens again! Would a box be enough? Better get two. Oh, a couple of Sparky and Midnight too, they’d love them too.
“But we’re getting off topic,” I said and then looked to Midnight, “What’s your world like?”
She sighed and poked at her chocolate dessert with her spoon in thought, “Different,” she said after a moment, “We weren’t allies with the Changelings for one thing. Tirek didn’t die, he was sent back to Tartarus. My library was destroyed and I opened the chest from the tree. It turned into a castle and a large crystal table slash map.”
Luna slowly nodded and gave my ear a small nuzzle, “And no Page.”
“No Blank Page,” she agreed, looking towards me. For half a second she looked like she was going to say something else before she turned back to her desert.
“My arrival here changed a lot of things,” I said and leaned softly against the larger alicorn, “...If it’s for the better or worse, I don’t know.”
“Better,” Luna said softly, “Definitely better.”
Midnight hesitated for a moment before she looked between us three before she sighed softly as she nodded, “...As much as I miss my home, I have to admit that I think Princess Luna may be right,” she said, “You have done a lot of good here, Page,” she said before she smiled and looked at Sunset and Luna, “more for some ponies than the rest.”
“The Changelings too,” Sunset said and smiled at Midnight, “Brought me home.”
Midnight smiled and then hesitated and looked to Sunset, “...When I get back home, do you want me to bring her back to Equestria? The you from my world, that is? W-was it a mistake to leave you there?”
Sunset looked down for a second, “...Is she happy? Where she is now?”
“I think so. She has friends. She sounds happy when she writes.”
“Then no. If she’s happy, it’s better she stays there,” she said before she smiled at Midnight, “But would you mind if I gave you a letter for her before you go home?”
Midnight shifted her wings with a smile, “Of course not!”
The rest of the evening was filled with less heavy subjects and more board games. Midnight mentioned something called Ogres and Oubliettes which sounded a lot like Dungeons and Dragons. Something to look into.
Right, she got booted out during the Season 5 finale, so that hadn't happened yet. Took me a second to remember.
This was great chapter, also can't wait to see page go to Ho-man world also to see Luna's reaction to it
Ask Shiny

Boobs on Luna.
9933050
That too
You know, horses do have boobs, they're just positioned diferently.
Dont forget duct-tape! So many mlp issues would have been solved with industrial grade duct-tape.
If I'm honest, I'd like to see the changes little miss Cozy Glow has in this Universe. With all the changes Page has done, will she still infiltrate the School? Will there even be a school to infiltrate?
9933119
Grab a laptop and download Wikipedia. It's only about 150Gigs and you'll get a tech boost for the whole nation!
I wonder what earth ponies could do if they could synthesize their own fertilizer with the Haber process?
I'm absolutly curious, how much Midnight is a this point different in mindset from normal Canon!Twilight. Outside of learning about future (for her universe) events, she was showed, how events could unfold themselves differently and probably noticed that her solutions for some troubles, that probably she believed to be best possible, in fact probably weren't such. And now is real question. How will this affect her reletionships with her other Elements and Princessess?
Wasn’t Twilight suppose to be there?
9933181
Yeah, she was, and you'd think she'd have said or done something to mark her presence in the chapter!
9933137
This is a good point. Would Page's version of Twilight even think to create the School of Friendship without the experiences the Map of Harmony gave her and her friends about spreading harmony and mending friendships across Equestria?
Oddly enough, even as underhoofed and malicious as she proved to be in canon, I suspect that Cozy Glow might fair pretty well and become a better pony attending an entirely different sort of school. After all, she clearly has a head for strategy and tactics, and wouldn't you know, there's now an entirely new and prestigious, all mare, branch of the Royal Guard that such a promising filly can aspire to join.
I could easily see this world's version of Cozy Glow seeing her future as being in Prince Page's Guard and actually becoming a more decent pony because of the steps she would have to take to qualify for such a position. Granted, she's too young just yet, but I could see Page seeing her potential and starting something like a pony version of the Reserve Officer Training Corse to prepare promising young fillies and colts like her for positions in either the Royal Guard or the E.U.P.
(I am now imagining such a different Cozy Glow ending up disgusted with her canon self should the two ever meet).
Junior Cadet Cozy Glow: "What? That's the lesson you took? That Friendship is Power? How can you be so right and such a moron at the same time? I mean, yes, Friendship is one of, and possibly the, most powerful source of magic around, but only if it's true friendship! Lying and manipulating your way into making ponies think you're their friend is not the real thing, idiot!"
Canon Cozy Glow: "Yeah, well, My good friend Tirek…"
Junior Cadet Cozy Glow: "You mean the same Tirek that Prince Page killed in single combat?"
Canon Cozy Glow: "Say what now?"
9933137
Page bullshit meter would skyrocket through the roof if Cozy will even try
But there isn't Tirek to teach her how to steal/erase magic so she will try another way to conquer Equestria or something completely different
9933019
Still, I consider Page's changeling's real/better allies than those in Midnight's timeline.
Without that gradient,pro-nature and hippie bullshit
9933211
I think Page would take the idea of School of Friendship as a joke , then catch on that Twilight was serious and burst out laughing
I mean what School of Friendship teaches that life and other schools don't?
After completing School of Friendship you leave with no education, then the is problem with finding a jobe

I'm pretty sure Page won't mind to also see human Celestia
9933313
Oh boy

Oh boy ! Also sunbutt AND moonbutt ? Nice

From what we saw in the show, Twilight's school of friendship had regular classes mixed in with their friendship oriented courses. None of the students were getting short-changed on their education.
I mean, really, think about who founded the school. Even if the school's main focus was on how to form and maintain friendships, do you really think Princess Book Horse would neglect her students' education?
He may not be a human male on the outside, but he is on the inside.

BLEH, give me sexy anthros over boring humans any day.
9933346
You mean Applejack teaching them to only eat, buy apples?
derpicdn.net/img/2018/3/25/1690109/medium.png
Also, it probably is also illegal because that would also profit her apple farm, family, in short, she is brainwashing the youth to buy her family products
Also what 5 ponies can really teach when they themselves are limited to one thing
Apples, parties, animals, sport, dresses
Wow 🎓 really useful lessons, for some individuals may be helpful but for most not
Wait, what if Page will recreate the internet with his complete control of it with a massive amount of backdoors, a long term goal
9933394
Okay, setting aside (but not ignoring) Applejack's unfortunately biased class (which is otherwise a decent farming course if nothing else), you do realize that Twilight Sparkle had to have hired more teachers than just her friends, right? I mean, they keep getting summoned by the Map to go on friendship missions, plus the fact that not one single one of them gave up their other jobs.
That means that That there must have been other teachers present than just the Mane Six available.
Although as far as actual educational value goes for the Mane Six, I expect the order would most likely be:
Honestly, I expect season 8&9 Applebloom to be a better actual teacher than her sister...
9933465
You just confused me
Do you mean in show or fanfiction?
It never happened like that in the show, you are just adding stuff, trying to tape holes that show writers created
9933172
That, chunks of the Internet Archive, Project Gutenberg, a bunch of stuff like the Pole Shift Survival Library (they're nuts but they have a lot of how-to books), etc.
9933514
Absence of evidence of the existence of additional teachers in show canon is not the same as evidence of absence. It just means there is no proof of either the existence or absence of additional teachers beyond the Mane Six in the School of Friendship.
Is it fanon for those teachers to exist? Absolutely. I'm not arguing that they are canon to the show.
But what you seem to be missing is that to say that these extra teachers do not exist at all because they aren't shown in the show is also fanon unless it is explicitly stated in the show that the Mane Six are the only teachers at Twilight's school.
Basically, neither the exixtance nor the nonexistence of these extra teachers is canon to the show - it is just as likely either result is valid for all the in show evidence we are given.
And given Twilight's personality, I personally believe that she would have hired extra teachers so that regular courses could be taught alongside the classes focusing on areas of friendship.
Ah. I see he is a
manstallion of culture as well.The alicorn of dreams playing dnd... He is gonna be the best gm xD
You should've added "just like like Luna's ass" in there somewhere hehe
9934032
na, twilight built a cult indoctrination center there.
9934493
So find that juicy double
Lord-Page's in trouble
Beggin' for a piece of that bubble
Seems that I need to reread the whole thing again but can anyone tell me which story Midnight first appears in?
9938120
She is twilight, but from the original timeline
9934493
More like Celestia really...
9933313
Daaammmnnn! Lucky Page
If they do find a way back though, who's to say they don't return to the original excursion point like canon? After all, it didn't seem like anypony was surprised Twilight had been gone several days without notice...
10019273
True enough, but I do seem to remember that it was a continuous string of travels... meaning she doesn't know it yet, right? Or am I misremembering?
10965583
Heh, we need to re-read this to find out who is misremembering, it's been some time...
10019273
To be fair, in the show it seemed that she simply returned to the exact same point as when she left, so in the original timeline it would have been like she got sucked up into the spell and then immediately spat back out, somehow with information about a whole adventure despite going nowhere.
As for the other sunset staying maybe actually asking her about coming back. She happy because she has the girls but without them she be miserable. She might want to come back but is too scared to talk with Celestia. And since we don't exactly what happened beyond that they fought and Celestia thought she cared for power more than anything else. We have never heard sunset side. The closest was that I was bad apology that she made. She would have said anything to help the girls. Despite her apology I think forcing them to talk about it then was a bad idea considering they didn't know anything about a possible threat that took memories. They didn't know if it would come there.
Interesting thing to consider, due to Page taking Sunset magic didn't leak enough into that world to allow any of the bs shenanigans or artifacts to work.
Damn!!! Let's make Gamer Luna happen.
-Tactic games might get the Nobility into Military interested.
-Space games might make them invest in a space tech development.
-Racing games might trigger steam and lamp oil powered cars.
-Paved STREETS for hoove and wheels.
-Computer tech in general!
-Civilisation V will be a hit for sure!
-X-Com series to teach ponies how important armor and weapon development is for self defense.
Tirek is still alive! Let him feed, than blow him up and make sure Shining Armor is in the explosion.
Cadance will be happy and nice Alpha mare of the Crystal Empire Alicorn herd ♡
I love speculating about things to get from the EG world, if I was a human-turned-pony:
1-Bacon.
2-Music, and something to play it on. Since this version of EG is basically America, I'd go for AC/DC and a stereo loud enough to make your ears bleed.
3-I love the idea of laptop computers and solar-powered chargers.
4-Bacon.
5-TV, a DVD or blu-ray player, and a pile of movies.
6-Don't forget the video games.
7-Books! I'd imagine that Twilight would love a set of Encyclopaedia Britannica.
8-Hamburger meat, bacon, and sausage.
9-A motorcycle would be awesome, especially if Page masters a transformation spell and can turn himself into a human.
10-Coca Cola. (Or Mtn. Dew, or Dr. Pepper, or whatever floats your boat.)
Equestria needs more open roasters in hiring troops:
cdn-img.fimfiction.net/story/qpih-1432554727-174129-medium
Maybe Twilight could come up with small improvements on military technology:
cdn-img.fimfiction.net/story/rpx2-1693396411-541614-medium
Actually... nevermind... Twilight better keep away.
But maybe some more ponies shine when they have skills to go into battle to defend Equestria:

The food are easy to spoil, but I see your points on the drinks.
The electronics are a easy prime concern to gain for many reasons.
Writing stories alone would be easier, only needed one time copying once done.
Music, it's my life biggest past time.
Starwars, Halo, Star Trek, StarGate, Alien Versus Predator, X-Com games series, Resident Evil games series and many more ♤♡
