Equestria

Equestria, so fascinating, so wonderful, in the Everfree Forest, we see Twilight Sparkle walking along the path after seeing Zecora about a spell that she had been working on for a few days now. She's also with her assistant, Spike. He was sitting on her back talking to her about today.

"I can't believe that you had to go to Zecora to ask for help, WITH A SPELL NO LESS!!!!" Spike shouted. Twilight looked at him with a bit of a nervous look.

"Hehe, sorry Spike, it's just.. it was a hard spell and I needed her help to see what it meant." Twilight said with a blush. Spike just rolled his eyes and laid back down on her back. They were walking along the path until they saw what seemed to be a brown box with something on the top.

"What is that?" Spike asked. Twilight then walked over to the TV and looked at it with a better look.

"It's some sort of.... box, with a little thing on the top." Twilight asked. She then got a click in her memory after seeing the box in full detail. She got a flashback from being in the human world. Rarity from that world told her it was a television. The flashback faded and Twilight got a little bit of a bright look.

"It's a Television Spike! I found out about it in the human world. However now that I look at it, it looks a little old school. The TVs I saw in the human world are a bit more modern and flat-screened. This one looks bulky and old." Twilight stated. She then picked up the TV and trotted towards Ponyville.

Twilight walked into The Old Oak Library and placed the TV on the floor. She decided to wait until the right time to use it, so she decided to go and see what Rainbow Dash was up to.

Rainbow Dash was talking to a pony about an incident she had with the weather factory. She said that there was no more rainbow liquid to make rainbows. She was then startled by trotting and turned around in an instant. She then realized it was her friend Twilight Sparkle.

"Oh, hey Twilight. What's up?" Rainbow questioned.

"I found something in the Everfree Forest today while walking from Zecora's." Twilight answered.

"Oh really? What is it?"

"It's at my house, go get the others and I'll tell them what I found."

Twilight then trotted away back to her house and Rainbow Dash flew to get the others.

-Later-

Twilight was reading a book called "The Visiting Hours" by Grimdark Tales. She got nervous by it and even had nightmares about it one night. Just when she was about to put the book up, her friends bust through the door and asked what she found. Twilight smiled at them and got the object out of the basement. The ponies were a bit confused on what it was and they ask Twilight what it is.

"It's called a Television. It's a device that I found out about in the human world. Once turned on, it will show a bunch of moving pictures!" Twilight then looked at the wire and realized it needed electricity to turn on.

"In order to see the pictures tho, we need to hook it up to some electricity. Rarity, you and I will use our magic to create some electricity to turn the television on." Twilight instructed. Her and Rarity then lit their horns to create a surge of electricity through the wire to turn the TV on. It turned on and everypony looked in awe.

"Ah can't believe that worked!" Applejack said amazed. They were about to turn the dial but then a vortex came out of the screen and sucked them all in. They all screamed as they went through the portal to whatever world they were going to.

-Sherlock's House-

Sherlock was sitting at home smoking a pipe and reading a newspaper until he heard a noise behind him. Upon looking behind his back, he saw a vortex come out of his wall and out came 9 ponies and a baby dragon. He was shocked at the sight of the ponies and dragon.

"My, my. What colorful little equines!" He said with a shocked look on his face. Twilight got her surroundings and saw a tall silhouette of what appeared to be a detective in her vision.

"Hello sir, who are you!" Twilight asked. This only made the figure jump.

"AHH!!! THEY CAN TALK!?!?!??!" He yelled while backing away.

"Yes, we can talk sir, but I assure you we mean no harm" Twilight said with a smile. Sherlock got his bearings and introduced himself.

"My name is Sherlock Holmes, greatest detective on Elm Street." He said.

"Well hello there Mr. Holmes, my name is Twilight Sparkle. These are my friends, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity." She introduced her friends to Sherlock and they had a little chat.

"So you guys really are from another world?" Sherlock asked in awe.

"Yeah we are!" Rainbow Dash said with oomph. Just when things were going smoothly, another figure appeared and started rampaging around the house.

"AHH!! WHO IS THAT?!?!?" Twilight asked surprised at the sight. Sherlock just gave her a shocked glance and pounced on him until the figure disappeared again.

"W-w-w-w what the heck was that?!?!?!?" Fluttershy asked hiding behind a shelf.

"I have no idea!" Sherlock said shocked. The figure appeared again and this time they were ready. They chased the figure around the room until the figure teleported all around the table. Twilight and her friends tried to capture him from the right side while Sherlock was trying to catch him from the left side. Eventually, the figure disappeared again, and everyone was indeed "baffled".

The portal that brought them here opened up and they all went in, but not without saying goodbye to Sherlock, their new friend. They all went through and arrived in the same place as they were before they went in.

"Ah think we all better think twice before ending up in another world..." Applejack said, still baffled by what just happened. Twilight then told spike to take a letter and she started saying what she learned today.

Dear, Princess Celestia

Today I learned something about friendship from another world (and also about stealing). I learned that friendship is everywhere, no matter how ridiculous it may be. I also learned to not trust weird figures that can apparently teleport. Anyway, i know it isn't much but we at least learned something today.

-Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle.

Spike then rolled up the scroll and sent it to the princess. Will they go on another adventure through the magics of film? Find out next time on My Little Pony: Film is Magic!
