> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello everypony, it's Special Hoof again. I bet you all heard my first story. But now, I'll tell you another one. Once upon a time, there was a young pegasus colt named Special Hoof. I was born with lots of gifts and everypony enjoyed it a lot. But, I was wondering why I felt a little confused. One day an alicorn princess, Twilight Sparkle came to me and offered me a quest to stop an evil pony from conquering Equesrtia with a big group of friends and 5 grown up ponies to support us.

During our trip on hoof, we'd travel through the locations to get to Ponyville. And, we believed they looked amazing with all the views and sites anypony could ever enjoy. As they we reached Ponyville, the Mane 5 were captured, and for me, I wasn't feeling special, even since I didn't understand why I got my gifts. But then, I visit the kingdom of Heaven, where I met the Lord Almighty. God told me that he choose those gifts for me, I could help everypony in Equestria to live a better life of harmony and peace his way. With the help from God, my friends and I had defeated the enemy with the powers we got from the 3 unity crystals and the Magic of Friendship. And after we made it home, everypony appreciated our special gifts. We became the Great Defenders of Friendship. Together, we showed everypony in Equestria the ways of God and how to live longer. We live at our own luxury headquarters, where we sleep at night, play games, and sports, have great meals, and be ready any problem. We were the best heroes ever in Equestria.

That was only the beginning, after me and my friends were now having a wonderful life as heroes. Right now, we were enjoying a summer day in Maretime Bay.

We were all having a fun sunny day at the beach with Sunny Starscout, a female earth pony/alicorn whose running a smoothie operating kart and sells smoothies to everypony in Maretime Bay, Hitch Trailblazer, a male earth pony whose the sheriff of the town, Izzy Moonbow, a female unicorn whose great at crafting, Pipp Petals, a female pegasus whose a pop star and mane salon manager, Zipp Storm, a female pegasus whose cool looking and an expert of flying and detecting, Misty Brightdawn, a female unicorn who used to work for an evil alicorn, and Sparky, the baby dragon adopted by Hitch.

"Isn't this amazing everypony?" Sunny asked her friends.

"It sure is, it's everything." Pipp answered.

"Not a signal rain cloud in site." said Izzy.

"A little hot, but amazing." said Hitch.

"The beach is the best place ever to have our picnics." said Zipp.

"Picnics are fun. I love having picnics with my friends." said Misty.

"And look, the defenders of friendship are having lots of fun." Pipp protested.

Me and the defenders were doing different activities at the beach. Me, my girlfriend Ellagant Glare, and Bronze Feather were looking around for some seashells.

"Hey look at this shell, it's a clam shell." said Ellagant.

"Great eyes, Ella." I say.

Then, she put the shell in my bag to our shell collection.

"I found a conch shell." said Bronze observing the shell.

"Great job." I say.

Amber Lake, Joydan Gallop, Needle Stitch, Daytime Darwin, Violet Rosey, and Constellation were all building a sandcastle.

"Make sure the moat is nice and wide." Amber told Daytime.

"You got it." Daytime responded.

"Careful, we don't want our pails to ruin the castle." said Joydan.

"No need to worry, I got it handled." said Violet.

"This is looking great." said Constellation.

"Now all it needs is the flag." said Needle.

After adding the final touches, they were all done.

"This looks amazing." said Joydan.

"Wow kids, you have out done yourselves." said Pipp when she took a picture of the sandcastle and post it on Ponygram.

"I can't believe you foals can really build a perfect sandcastle." said Misty. "I tried to build one myself, but every time it always fall down.

Bubble Burst, Rollette Skate, Fearful Moe, Soccer Score, Streamer Smooth, and Astro Alex were out at sea, doing some water sports. Bubble and Rollette were windsurfing.

"Hey Rollette, check this out!" Bubble said as he was doing his trick on his windsurfing board.

"Not bad Bubble, but I got tricks up my wings, too." said Rollette.

Rollette did a different trick on her windsurfing board, and Bubble was impressed.

"Well done." Bubble Replied.

Fearful and Soccer were wake-boarding as Streamer and Astro were driving the speed boats.

"Okay, I got this wake-boarding totally under control." Fearful said cowardly when he was boarding on the water.

"You're going great!" Streamer shouted to Fearful.

"Look at me, I'm water slipping." said Soccer.

"I got to try that." said Astro.

Tangerine Twist, Disgusted Lex, Fruity Tooty, Cloudy Carla, Horseshoe Henry, Sharpy Gem, Carver Crafty, Frosty Flavor, and Color Carol were enjoying Sunny's picnic.

"I love Sunny's smoothies, they are all so fresh." Tangerine said after he drank a cup of smoothie.

"I brought lots of fruit salad for everypony." said Fruity.

"I brought tea for a summer tea party." said Disgusted.

"And I brought some sweet desserts after our lunches." said Frosty.

"Yummy yummy, in the tummy." said Horseshoe after he ate one of Frosty's cookies.

Everypony else was gathering around to eat and drink. Then after we finished eating, we began to fly our kites. Maretime Bay had the best wind when it's near the ocean. Some of us were flying kites, and Izzy was the only adult to do the same.

"This really grows on me." said Daytime.


Song 1


Up For Anything


Sung by: Sean Wheeler


You feel safe with your hooves on the ground
Where everything's predictable
So many possibilities passing you by
Well, drop your things and look up to the sky

'Cause when you're up for anything, you reach higher
You take your worries and say goodbye
When you're up for anything, you live open and free
So, come on, come on with me

I guess you never heard it before
But nothing is impossible
Sometimes you got to give it another try
But dig deep and put your fears aside

'Cause when you're up for anything, you reach higher
You take your worries and say goodbye
When you're up for anything, you live open and free
So come on, come on with me

You can wait for life to bring you
All your hopes and dreams wrapped in a bow
I won't tell you what to do
No

But happiness is out there
And how much you can grab is up to you
It's up to you

'Cause when you're up for anything, you reach higher
You take your worries and say goodbye
When you're up for anything, you live open and free
So come on, come on

When you're up for anything, you reach higher
You take your worries and say goodbye
When you're up for anything, you live open and free
So come on, come on with me

(When you're up for anything) you reach higher
(You take your worries) and say goodbye
(When you're up for anything) you live open and free
So come on, come on with me
Yeah
> Chapter 2: Headquarters Sleepover
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Evening came, the day was almost over. Me and the other defenders were heading back to our HQ. Sunny and her friends were joining us because I was planning a sleepover that night.

"Sunny, thank you for coming along with us." I say to Sunny.

"You're welcome." Sunny replied. "We love having sleepovers."

"And Special," Izzy stepped in. "you and your friends are invited to the Crystal Festival in Bridlewood tomorrow."

"Ooh, that sounds like fun. Thank you." I say.

Then, me and the adults entered HQ after sunset.

Our headquarters was amazing for the Great Defenders of Friendship. It was where me and my friends would go if anypony have some sort of problem. But also, it was our home. We play and sleep there during our free times.

Our HQ had lots and lots of different rooms. We had an enormous lobby with a fountain near the main doors, plenty of chairs, couches, and tables for us to sit on and relax (same thing for when we have guests), a fireplace for when it's a little cold out, and a lovely chandelier hanging from the ceiling, made by Sharpy Gem. And during the Winter Wish Day, we would place our big Christmas tree in the middle surrounded by our couches and chairs.

Next we had our bedrooms. Each one has a different theme of each defender. Our bedrooms' doors shows us the most magical image of our personalities. Since a defender touched their own door, their bedroom would appear in their own theme of their purpose.

Our kitchen was big enough for like 25 chefs, cooks, and bakers. The refrigerator was larger to fit our fruits, veggies, drinks, and frozens. The stove and oven was large enough for chefs to cook our meals. And, we had lots cabinets to fit in all our dishes. And let's not forget our dining room, our table was the largest table ever like over 100 ponies can sit at it, and we had plenty of chairs for our guests.

We also had a hallway called the Hall of Fame. It was where we display our past rewards like medals, trophies, ribbons, honorary photos, and other relics into our display cases. The only awards we got on display were our medals we got after we defeated Cozy Glow, we'll get more awards soon enough.

Our inventing room was an enormous laboratory for any of us to make something new and useful for Equestria. We could even do some science experiments whenever we want.

We also had a gym and fitness center, where we want to exercise and get strong. We could also play different kinds sports inside or outside, just the way Soccer Score likes it.

We had a water park inside and outside. It had everything: water slides, fountains, a lazy river, and our safety rules.

And, we had a big closet for storaging our old things. Whenever we need something from in there, we could enter and search.

We also have our own movie theater with lots of chairs that could turn into beds whenever we get tired during movie time. We had a snack stand for when we want a snack and drink. And, our screen was bigger so we could watch our shows a little better.

We even had a music room, where we kept all our musical instruments, practice our singing, music playing, dancing, and rehearse our new songs. We got a recording station there whenever we need to add a new song into an album.

We also got our very own library, where we need to find a book for simple reasons and went to read a cool story.

We was also our own indoor mini golf course, whenever we want to play golf. We had our golfing gear set up for later.

Next was an indoor skate park with lots of ramps, stairways, tubes, and other obstacles, just the way Rollette Skate wanted.

We had our own playroom, where we wanted to relax, and play games if we want to.

Color Carol has her own room, where we could do some arts and crafts. Color would want to teach us how to make art.

There was also a planetarium, where we would like to look at the night sky.

And last but not least, we got a garden with lots of flowers, vines, trees, cacti, and leaves. Our earth pony friends planted them with their magic.

"Alright ponies," I say. "We had fun today, but now we to get ready for our sleepover. So, put on your pajamas and have fun in the night."

Me and the defenders were putting on our PJs for the night, even Sunny and her friends brought their PJs. Then, we all began to do our sleepover schedule. First, we began to do a game of "Nighttime Flash and Find." It's when we go outside at night, have our flashlights, and look for some animals sleeping and some animals waking at night.

"Look, that squirrel is sleeping." said Astro Alex.

"And so is that red bird." said Sharpy Gem.

"Looks like all the animals outside are sleeping." said Streamer Smooth.

"Not all the animals, kid." Zipp told Streamer.

"Some many animals are awake at night. Just like owls." said Hitch.

Then, they heard an owl hooting in the trees. The next animals they found at night were crickets, bats, and racoonicorns.

"Those animals are cool being awake at night." said Joydan Gallop.

"Alright everypony," I said. "Let's play another night game. Firefly catch."

Firefly catch was lots of fun, all we had to do is catch fireflies inside jars, and whoever catches the most, wins.

"Look at all the different colored fireflies." said Color Carol.

The fireflies were indeed different: yellow, pink, orange, and purple. After a race against time, Color Carol had won the game. Everypony released the fireflies as the game was over.

"I'm glad we had fun outside everypony." I say. "But now, let's go inside for some more fun."

Then, we all raced back inside for more activities.

Once inside, we all began to play board games and card games while we wait for our sleepover dinner to come. Our board games are Battleship, Chess, Checkers, Connect Four, Monopoly, Chutes and Ladders, and Sorry. And, the card games were Go Fish, Poker, Rummy, and we can even do magic tricks with the cards.

After waiting for 30 minutes, our sleepover dinner has finally arrived. It was 20 boxes of pizza; 10 pepperoni and 10 cheese. We each grab a plate, took on or two slices, and eat. Then, we began to have cookies and milk for dessert. We were having lots of fun that night.
> Chapter 3: A Guide of Wonderworld
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

After me, the defenders and our guests had finished our meal, it was time for our final activity in our schedule: Story time. As everypony was getting into their sleeping bags, I'd enter the library to pick out a perfect book.

"My sleeping bag is finally perfect." said Pipp.

"Is everypony ready?" Amber asked.

Everypony responded saying "yes" to let Amber know that they're ready for a story.

"Here I am, everypony." I say as I returned. "I picked out a perfect book to read. It's called "The Legend of Wonderworld."

The book I was holding was bigger like a dictionary, but it was containing lots of information about the mythical city of Wonderworld. Everypony got their ears open for the big story.

"Let the story begin."

The story began an extremely long time ago, there was a young unicorn prince named Prince Colter Point. Colter was the ruler of Equestria's most entertaining city ever called Wonderworld. It had all the entertainment everypony could want, it had tall skyscrapers, hotels, resorts, cool-looking restaurants, very fun arcades and casinos, food stands, big malls, stores, gift shops, and most carnival rides were part of the hotels, resorts, and and pools. There was even an enormous fun park full of all rides, games, food courts, and limited events. And the best part about Wonderworld is it could light up its lights every night for everypony to enjoy the colors and beauty. Ponies from around Equestria would dream of a great future of new fun stuff for the city. Colter wanted everypony to be happy and have good times, he built the city as part of his dream.

But then one day, there was an evil alicorn, who hated fun and entertainment. Her name was Queen Frowny. She lived in her own castle faraway from Wonderworld. Frowny want all the fun and happiness to go away, she decided to get rid of it herself. Once she arrived at the city, she began to attack and destroy some of the rides. Prince Colter was horrified by Frowny's rampage, he'd send his army to go after her and arrest her. His soldiers were able to stop her by chaining her and taking her to Colter.

"Ma'am," said Colter. "How dare you attack the city?"

"I'm sorry your highness," said Frowny. "but all this fun and entertainment is giving me a headache and hurts my heart. I want this to end now."

"Sorry, but everpony needed happiness. And, for your actions, you are under arrest. Take her to the dungeon." Colter ordered his guards.

As Queen Frowny was sent to jail, Colter had decided to throw a victory party at his palace.

The day of the victory party was held 2 days later, and everypony was having a great time. Prince Colter Point was enjoying himself sipping his drink. And then somewhere in the party, there was a beautiful female unicorn staring at Colter, she had a big crush om him. She was a little nervous to walk up to him, but she walked up and talked to him.

"Hello, your highness." the unicorn said. "My name is Hella Halo."

When Colter started looking ar Hella, he began to have a crush on her too.

"Wow, you look beautiful." said Colter.

"Thank you."

"Do you want to come outside with me?"

"Yes. Yes I do." Hella answered.

They both head outside to the castle gardens together.

Colter and Hella were enjoying the time together, they both made a toast and drink, looked at the view of the pretty sunset, and hold each other as a perfect couple of lovebirds.

"This is amazing." said Hella.

"Yeah." Colter agreed. "Hey Hella, there's something to tell you. As you can see, the whole city is pretty amazing, but I knew it wouldn't be amazing long enough, so I need some help to make it little more entertaining. Will you be my wife and princess of Wonderworld?"

Hella gasped when she heard the question. She always wanted to be Colter's someday.

"Yes I will, Colter." Hella said with her big heart beating like a brass band.

Then, they both kissed each other in the lips.

After a few months of dating, Prince Colter Point and Hella Halo were finally married, and Hella was now a princess. Then suddenly, a swirl of magic lifted Hella in to the air. The magic transformed her from a unicorn into an alicorn, by giving her pegasus wings on her back. Then after Colter and Hella came back from their honeymoon, they both began to expand Wonderworld with new skyscrapers, new rides, new restaurants, new arcades, new hotels, and new events. Everypony was happy even more, and Colter was feeling proud.

Over a year later, Colter and Hella were now expecting their firstborn baby. Hella was pregnant with her child, and she was feeling very happy to have more of her dream coming true.

"Hello sweetheart." Hella said to her unborn foal.

She started singing her favorite song, and then all of the sudden, her baby started to kick, forcing her to giggle. Colter return to check on his wife.

"Hella, are you okay?" Colter asked.

"Yeah, the baby's kicking." Hella giggled.

Colter walked over to Hella and put his hoof on her bump to feel the kicking.

"Wow, the kid is full of fun." said Colter.

"I know, it was the best life I ever had." said Hella.

Colter and Hella were having a great day, until a guard bursts in to alert them with something bad.

"Your royalnesses, I got bad news: Queen Frowny escaped from the dungeon and she's about to attack the city!"

Colter and Hella were shocked to hear the news, Queen Frowny did escaped, and she was making another rampage around Wonderworld. Hella always know her true love keeps ponies happy everyday, she decided to face Frowny herself.

Hella stood up to Frowny to be ready to confront her.

"Well, if it isn't Princess Hella Halo, Prince Colter Point's beautiful wife and a mother-to-be." said Frowny when she noticed Hella walking towards her.

"Frowny, you must stop this rampage right now!" Hella ordered.

"Sorry princess, but I cannot let all this fun and happy nonsense from growing."

"My husband built this city, so everypony can keep ponies filled up with joy and love. Nopony ever has to get rid of it at all."

Prince Colter saw his wife confronting Frowny, he feared she could get harmed. So, he ran down to protect her.

"It doesn't matter, princess." Frowny kept on telling Hella. "Because my life is full of glum and greediness, now no more speeches!"

"Then, you leave me no choice, Frowny." said Hella. I may be pregnant with a child of my own now, but since you couldn't accept the importance of our city, I can protect my subjects from you!"

And then, Hella started a magic dual with Frowny. Frowny was afraid, she started to fly away from being hurt. Hella was chasing her and trying to hit her with her own magic. She was now more magical and powerful since she turned into an alicorn at her wedding. Frowny was trying to avoid Hella by flying through obstacles of Wonderworld, but Hella was catching up. And then, Hella got the perfect shot, she hit Frowny with her magic blast, and Frowny crashed to the ground. Colter watched the whole thing, and he was surprised to see his wife able to win the dual.

Frowny was unconscious when she crashed, Hella hovered onto the ground and approached the unconscious queen.

"I'm sorry Frowny." Hella said to her. "But since you got yourself into trouble, you leave me no choice but to take away what's not yours anymore."

Hella used her magic to take away Frowny's wings to punish her. Then, she used her magic to encircle Frowny in a bubble and tossed her back to her castle. Everypony cheered for Hella for winning the dual. 

"Hella, that was amazing." he said.

"Thank you, honey." Hella said. "Being an alicorn was great."

Three days later, Prince Colter and Princess Hella's baby has been born. It was a female alicorn named Sparkle Moon. Years went by, and Colter and Hella's heirs and descendants were making Wonderworld a whole lot bigger and a whole lot more fun. And, that's how the mythical city of Wonderworld came to be.
> Chapter 4: Special's Worries
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

After I finished the story of Wonderworld, I closed book and everypony enjoyed it.

"That story was amazing, Special." said Amber Lake.

"I want to hear more of that someday." said Bronze Feather.

"Wow, a city full of entertainment? That is so my own place to give ponies my own entertainment." said Pipp Petals.

"But, that city's not real, Pipp." Sunny Starscout said to her friend. "There's way we make that happen."

"It would be cool if there was a fun place to visit." said Misty Brightdawn.

"Alright everypony." I say. "It's time to get some sleep. We got a big trip to Bridlewood tomorrow."

Everypony wrapped themselves into their sleeping bags, laid their heads down, and drifted off to sleep.

The slumber party was lots of fun; we'd play an outdoor game, had a nighttime dinner, and read a bedtime story. It was the best night ever.

Everpony was sleeping; they were having big dreams. But unfortunately, there was one of us who was having a bad dream, and it's me. In my dream, I was walking through a forest, calm and peaceful. I entered a cave, and in the cave was only blue crystals, and each of them were unleashing a beam of sunlight at a different angle. A I reached the end of the cave, the beam pointed at a waterfall in front of me, and that opened up a big vortex of water. I got sucked in and at the other side, was a dark castle. The tapestries had the same symbols, black and gray puzzle squares with frowny faces on them. Then, I went through a door, and I saw was horrifying, my friends were in cages, being tortured by scissors, knives, and needle shots. And then, something behind me caught me and was taking me to a shredder. The mystery pony dropped me in, and then I woke up from my nightmare.

I flew above everypony sleeping to get to the kitchen. I was taking the book I read with me. I couldn't get the dreadful nightmare out of my head, I feared it could be a vision of the future. As I got into the kitchen, I took out some leftover pizza to eat while I think. As I was looking through some pages of the book, I found the symbol from my dream. It was Queen Froeny's symbol of glum and greediness. When I saw it, I realize something.

"How could Queen Forwny be part of my dream?" I asked myself.

I ate another slice of pizza and asked another question.

"Why was a villain from as story part of my dream?"

"Hi Special." said a voice.

It was Misty entering the kitchen.

"You're up late tonight. Are you okay?"

"I just had a bad dream tonight." I answered. "I feared Queen Frowny could be against me and the of the other defenders."

"Now that's silly, Wonderworld is just a story." Misty told me.

"And not just that," I continued. "I sucked into a wormhole from a waterfall in a cave of blue crystals. Then, my friends were being tortured and in cages."

"Well, I'm sure that's not what's going to happen." said Misty.

"I hope you're right."

" I was a slave unicorn to Opaline the evil alicorn, who wanted all of Equestria's magic for herself. But then, Sunny and her friends changed my life. And when I made a terrible mistake by capturing Sparky, I wanted to stop being bad. So, I lured my friends to the dark castle and freed them from Opaline's magic bubble. And, that gave me my own cutie mark."

"I'm listening."

"I also learned a very important from Sunny's father: family may be no longer bigger, but it's a term for ponies being close to you the whole time. Friends can be your family to."

"Thank you, Misty."

Then, Misty took a slice of pizza before she leaves the kitchen. My thoughts were still with that nightmare I've had, and I knew I had keep my friends somehow.

"A vision's never been wrong." I said to myself. "I can't let this happen to my friends."

Morning came and the alarm clock went off, waking us up from our sleep. Today was the Crystal Festival at Bridlewood.

"BIG DAY! BIG DAY! BIG DAY!!!" Izzy shouted happily.

"The crystal festival is today!" said Sharpy Gem.

We wrapped our sleeping bags, took off our PJs, and packed up our stuff for our trip to Bridlewood. But, I packed up lots more stuff then everypony else. I feared my vision would come true that day. As we were ready, we started our walk to Bridlewood.

After walking for 2 hours, we made it to Bridlewood and we all first stopped at Izzy's old house, where we all leave our luggage for later. But, I keep my luggage with me the whole time. Zipp saw me carrying my bag out of all the others, she was wondering why.

"Special, why are you still bringing your luggage?" Zipp asked me.

"I need this stuff for later." I answered.

"Is there something bothering you?"

"I didn't want to let my friends know, but I had a vision last night, and I feared it could happen in real life to us, me and my friends."

"Special, don't be silly." Izzy said. "I'm sure your vision was just an illusion."

"But, I have to do something to protect everypony."

Zipp and Izzy seemed worried about me, they were going to figure out how to help me.

We have all made it to the Crystal Festival. The forest was decorated with lots of crystals. All the unicorns had planned all the events, games, and stuff for everypony. They even got some crystal candy to sell.

The festival had started, we all began to have fun. The games were lots of fun, everyone was winning great prizes. The activities were fun too, the foals do them the most.

"This is fun." said Cloudy Carla.

"All the games were fun, I won a crystal necklace." said Ellagant Glare.

"Hey ponies, Izzy is doing an activity of her own." Daytime Darwin called.

Izzy was showing everypony how to make crystal-like accessories of their own. First, we took out some string, then we added some smaller crystals, and last we tied the string up and wear it around our wrists. Izzy taught us how to make crystal bracelets. I really enjoy the festival, but my thoughts are still with protecting my friends.
> Chapter 5: Vortex to Nowhere
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everypony was still enjoying the Crystal Festival, but I decided to go the pond to relax. So, I left the festival to get some lone time.

When I reached the pond, I sat on a log to enjoy the scene. I still couldn't get the vision out of my head, my friends may worry I would be a pony going bonkers. I was also been thinking about the very first quest we got from Princess Twilight Sparkle. Since we were sent to stop Cozy Glow, we had a great opportunity to save Equestria. If we could do that, could we also save ourselves? I do know we can take care of ourselves through anything hard and dangerous, but can we also handle situations involving something very unpredictable? I didn't know what, but I did know God gave me the gifts to help me be special; he always has a plan for me, he's always there beside me whenever I need him.

While I was still enjoying the site of Bridlewood's pond, the rest of the defenders and the Mane 6 were approaching me.

"Special, what are you doing out here?" Izzy asked. "The festival is still going on for everypony."

"I know." I say. I just need some quiet time for a while."

"So do I." said Fruity Tooty. "Lots of excitement, but I need to relax for a while."

"Some of us will just join before we go back." said Sunny Starscout.

The Mane 6 were sitting at the pond with me. And, some of defenders were with us too: Ellagant Glare, Tangerine Twist, Joydan Gallop, Sharpy Gem, Daytime Darwin, Fearful Moe, Frosty Flavor, Bronze Feather, Violet Rosey, Rollette Slate, Fruity Tooty and Bubble Burst.

"I'm gonna go on a walk in the forest." Frosty told us.

Then, Frosty began to take a little hike in Bridlewood.

Frosty was strolling along the forest. She was seeing lots of plants and animals, she wanted to see something more cool. Until, she found a cave entrance, she began to go inside. The cave was a little long, but Frosty finally made to the end, which was only leading cave explorers to a dead end with a waterfall.

"This looks amazing." Frosty said. "I got to call Special about this."

She pulled out her phone and began to call me.

My phone began to ring, I answered the call.

"Hello?" I asked the caller.

The caller was Frosty Flavor.

"Special, I found a cave and it has a waterfall inside." said Frosty. "Why don't you come over and see?"

I agreed to see Frosty, I invited everypony else to come along.

We all met Frosty at the cave entrance. We followed her inside, but what we didn't notice is that something bad was going to happen soon, Sharpy Gem dropped a blue crystal from her saddle bag. Then, a beam of sunlight touched the crystal and bounced off into the cave, and following the ponies exploring the cave. Frosty took us to the waterfall and we all think it was amazing.

"Wow Frosty." said Fearful Moe. "This cave is amazing."

"I don't remember this cave, but I got to say, this sparkles." said Izzy Moonbow.

The cave reminded me of the cave from my vision, I feared it could be true for now. Then, the beam of light kept bouncing off more blue crystals along the way

As the beam was getting closer to us, Misty saw it.

"Hey everypony," Misty called to get our attention. "There's a blue beam of light over there."

We all discovered the beam, when it was still bouncing off the blue crystals. It was the same one from my nightmare, and I knew what's gonna happen next. Then, the beam was now aiming towards us, we got out of the way. But, the beam hit the waterfall, and with the water and blue light combined, they formed a big vortex. As the vortex was opening up, it began to vacuum us up.

"Oh no. The vision's coming true!" I thought to myself.

Frosty Flavor was being pulled in, me and my friends formed a chain out of ourselves. But, the vortex's suction power was pulling us in, we were slipping slowly into it. Sunny and her friends came to help us, but the vortex was still becoming bigger and bigger, me and my friends were still getting sucked in. The suction was too strong, my hoof was gonna slip off of Sunny's. Then suddenly, my hoof was gonna slipped off, leading me and the defenders were got sucked in. Such despair for the Mane 6.

Me and half of the defenders were swirling all around the tube of the vortex. But then, we finally reached the other end. The vortex lead us to a forest, and we landed in a giant puddle. when we got out, we couldn't go back because the vortex closes, leaving us lost on our way home.

"No, the vortex is closed." Fearful Moe cried.

"Man, we got lost." said Rollette Skate.

"I'm sorry everypony." Frosty Flavor replied. "I wouldn't have lead you all into the cave."

"We are lost, but we could've been goners, when we got sucked into the vortex." said Joydan Gallop.

"And we all got wet after we got out." said Sharpy Gem.

I was standing in a daze, my vision was true. The vortex infected by a blue beam of sunlight was my first sign of my friends in danger.

"Special, we are lucky and happy you're with us, so what can we do?" Ellagant Glare asked me.

I heard Ella's question. I didn't know what to do, but there was one thing they need to know.

"I don't know everypony." I replied. "But, here's what I do know: we'll be fine as long as we don't ever get far from each other."

"Okay." said Bubble Burst.

"Come on, everypony." We got to find some shelter until we find a way to get back home."

We all got out of the puddle and then, we began to walk through the woods to find some help.

Back in Bridlewood, Sunny, her friends, and the remaining defenders were back at Izzy's old house, talking about what happened.

"Special and the other defenders got sucked into a vortex made of water?!" Amber Lake asked.

"How did something like that happened?" Horseshoe Henry asked.

"Well, a beam was bouncing off of blue crystals, and then it pointed at the waterfall and the portal opened. Then, Special and the other defenders got sucked in, even we couldn't hold it much longer." Sunny Starscout explained.

"I got to tell everypony about this." Pipp Petals said when she pulled her phone to live stream about the problem.

"NO PIPP!!" said Zipp and Hitch.

"We can't tell anypony about this, the defenders' parents we be heartbroken when they know." Zipp told her sister.

"Now everypony, we don't know if they're alive, but we got to find a way to bring them back." said Sunny.

Everypony began to grab their luggage to get back to Friendship HQ and look for a way to find me and the others.
> Chapter 6: Little Ponies, Big City
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me and my other friends were still walking through the woods and still had no sign of shelter or civilization. The bushes were messing up our manes and got all dirty. Until then, Needle Stitch tripped over a rock and on dirt.

"Are you okay, Needle?" I asked Needle when I was helping him back up.

"I'm alright." Needle Stitch answered. " Luckily, I didn't eat the dust for the lungs."

Then, I noticed that the dirt me and Needle were standing on turns out to be a trail. And, where there's a trail, there's a way to find civilization.

"Everypony, I think we're standing on a trail." I told everypony. "Let's follow it, maybe we should find a village when we stay in it."

And then, I discovered a sign which said there is a town up ahead.

"Alright. Come on friends, let's go. We should be getting closer."

We were still walking up the trail, we all become a little tired. We saw a large waterfall on the left of the trail. It was amazing to see, but now we would need a place to relax.

"Special, can we slow down for a few minutes?" Violet Rosey asked. "My hooves are getting soar."

"I'm losing my breath here, I need some rest." said Tangerine Twist.

"Alright everypony, let's rest for an hour." I say.

We all began to take a break from walking by sitting by the trees near the waterfall. I was hoping we will know where we really are soon. Ellagant Glare was thinking she would look around a little. When she looked at the arch pile of rocks, she figured there would be something behind it. So, she started to climb up the rocks. Once she reached the top, she something very big and amazing, and it was helpful for us as Ella believed.

"Everypony, I found a city. Come on up here." Ella called to us.

We all met Ella on the rocks, and she was right, there was a city. It was near some water, just to look beautiful.

"What in Equestria is that place?" Daytime Darwin asked.

"I don't know, but we are extremely lucky we'd have found a city." I say. "It has lots of food and we can even have a place to sleep."

Everypony agreed with my advise. We all climbed back down to the trail and then, we began to run towards the city.

We have found the city entrance. We began to look for a place to stay until there's a way home. As we were walking, we were enjoying the looks of the city. All the skyscrapers were colorful, even the windows were clean with colors. And, they even have neon lights and electric billboards to light up the night. The streets were filled with some advanced carriages even without a pony pulling one. The ponies seemed to be happy that day.

"I wonder what this city is called." said Joydan Gallop.

I was wondering the same thing. And then, I found a banner hanging from a lamppost. When I looked closer, I saw the name of the city, which surprised me a lot. Me and my friends sucked by the vortex, which I figured had sent us to a world where everything mythical is real. The city we were at was named after the one from my storybook: Wonderworld.

"Everypony, we're in the mythical entertaining city of Wonderworld." I told my friends.

"WONDERWORLD?!?" everypony asked surprisingly.

"The most entertaining city?" Rollette Skate asked.

"I can't believe it." said Daytime Darwin.

"Come on, everypony. We didn't come this way to be excited about this city." I say.

Then, we continues our search for a place to stay.

When we were still walking, there was on earth pony colt up ahead. He tripped his leg and began to tumble and roll over. He was rolling towards us, but he stopped on time.

"Are you okay, buddy?" I asked the colt when I was helping him back up.

"Never better." the colt answered. "Are you and your friends behind you new here?" he asked.

"Yes we are, whoever you are." I say.

"Of course, I'm Clumsy Bumzy."

"Great name. I'm Special Hoof."

Then, the rest of my friends introduced themselves to Clumsy.

"Nice to meet you all. Welcome to Wonderworld." Clumsy said. "What brings you all here?"

"That's a really long story." I answered.

Before I could tell Clumsy my story, my stomach started to growl, I became hungry. And, so did my friends.

"Oh man, we need to eat right now."

"Hey, why don't all come with me and have some grub at my favorite restaurant? We can fill your tummies up there." Clumsy told us.

Clumsy Bumzy was the clumsiest pony ever. He trips over almost everything and made accidents the whole time. He has fur in a shade of lime, and his mane was basil colored.

We were having at a fast-food restaurant called Winnie's. It was a great restaurant for anypony to have some yummy food. The food they had were burgers and chicken sandwiches, french fries, chicken nuggets, cookies, and even chocolate and vanilla ice-cream. The restaurant even has its own indoor playground for foals 2-5 years old.

Clumsy and I were talking about how me and my friends lost here in Wonderworld.

"So, you and your friends were sucked into a vortex, which lead you to here? And, you're stuck here until you find a way home?" Clumsy asked.

"That's all correct." I replied to Clumsy.

"I never thought of a problem like that." Clumsy thought. "Hey Special, you and the others will come and stay where I live. I even have lots of friends you may want to meet."

"Really? I knew I can count on you."

After we finished eating our lunch, Clumsy began to take to his place.

While we were walking to Clumsy's place, somepony caught his attention.

"Clumsy Bumzy." said a full-grown stallion voice.

It was a unicorn stallion walking towards us. He was slightly taller as Alphabittle Blossomforth. He had light blue fur like Misty's, and his mane was blue and red streaks. And, his cutie mark was three different colored balloons with smiles on them. His name was Prince Thrillunt, the ruler of Wonderworld.

"There you are," Thrillunt said to Clumsy. "How's your day going?"

"Going great." Clumsy answered. "I brought some new friends, who just came here today."

When Prince Thrillunt was looking at us, he began to talk to us.

"Well, hello children. Welcome to Wonderworld." Thrillunt said to us. "I'm Prince Thrillunt, ruler of the city along with my wife."

"Nice to meet you, your highness." I say. "I'm Special Hoof, the leader of the Great Defenders of Friendship."

"That sounds impressive. So, what brings you here to this city?" Thrillunt asked.

"It's a long story, but right now we need to find a place to sleep for a few nights. We're terribly lost."

"Can they stay with us at the palace?" Clumsy asked the prince.

Thrillunt wasn't sure if having guests at his castle would be an appropriate, but he agreed to let us stay.

"Alright, they can come along with us." said Thrillunt.

Then, we began to walk to Thrillunt's castle to stay for the nights, until we find a way home.
> Chapter 7: The Palace of Entertainment
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

After 30 minutes of walking, we'd finally made it to Thrillunt's castle. It was like a luxury hotel, but it's just a royal palace. It had like 50 rooms, meaning it could fit 100 ponies inside.

The draw bridge lowered down for all of us to get inside. Thrillunt was going to show  a few things before we get to our rooms.

"Everypony, welcome to my home." said Thrillunt. "As you can see in these portraits, we have memories of our past rulers of Wonderworld."

The portraits hanging on the walls represent the history of Thrillunt's ancestors. There was a portrait of Colter Point, the founder of Wonderworld.

"I know him, that's Wonderworld's first prince, Colter Point." I say when I saw the portrait.

""And this portrait has him and Hella Halo together." said Ellagant Glare when she examine the next portrait.

"These portraits can also tell us which pony was a ruler of Wonderworld, then the next ones tell us who they marry. Finally, the rest shows the rulers had families of their own." Thrillunt told us.

"Anything else?" Bubble Burst asked.

"A few princesses were born as alicorns." Thrillunt answered.

"That's so cool." I say. "We have a princess who was born an alicorn, but we haven't met her yet."

"I bet you will someday." said Clumsy Bumzy.

"Whoa. Is this Wonderworld's current ruler?" Ellagant asked when she noticed a portrait of an alicorn princess.

"Yes it is." Thrillunt answered. "She's also my wife. Her name's Princess Brightira. She was born an alicorn, and she's the most powerful and most beautiful pony ever."

"Well, you'd become so lucky to have a lovely pony princess for a wife." said Tangerine Twist.

"I am." Thrillunt replied. "In fact, Brightira and I are more lucky, we're going to have newborn twins in a few days."

"YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A FAMILY OF YOUR OWN?!?" I asked surprisingly.

My other friends were also surprised to hear the news.

"I can't believe it!" said Daytime Darwin.

"Congratulations!" said Frosty Flavor.

"Thank you." said Thrillunt. "Now come on, I want you all to meet the Princess."

"Okay." said Sharpy Gem. "I hope she's amazing."

"I feel kinda nervous meeting her." said Fearful Moe.

"Don't worry, Fearful." Rollette Skate said to him. "We're all in this together. I'm nervous, too." she admitted in a whisper.

As we made it to the throne room, there was Princess Brightira herself, sitting on her throne. She really was indeed the most beautiful princess ever, besides Pipp Petals. She was as tall as her husband, her fur coat was all in a shade of magenta, her wings, mane, and tail were purple and blue, her mane and tail were flowing so beautifully, she wears gold hoof shoes on her hooves, a golden necklace around her neck, and lovely golden crown on her head. And of course, Thrillunt said they were both having a family of their own, Brightira was really pregnant with twins; her bump was so big.

"Thrillunt, you're back." Brightira said happily.

She got off her throne and trotted to her husband. Then, they both hugged and kissed each other as husband and wife.

"How are you doing, honey?" Thrillunt asked his wife.

"I'm doing fine." Brightira answered to her husband. "Our city is going great everyday, even some of my new attractions make them more happier."

"I know." said Thrillunt.

"And Clumsy, how was your day going?" she asked Clumsy.

"I'm still having fun." Clumsy answered. "Your Highness, we have some guests needing a place to stay."

Just as Brightira saw us, she walked towards us and began to speak to us.

"Well hello, little ponies. What a pleasure to meet you." she said.

Nice to meet you too, your highness." I say as me and my friends bowed down. "And, I say you look extremely beautiful."

"Why thank you. What's your name?"

"I'm Special Hoof, leader of Equestria's greatest ream of heroes, the Great Defenders of Friendship."

"Well, that sounds impressive. So, what brings you and your friends here to Wonderworld?"

I told Brightira everthing about happened. That me and my friends got lost, that we'd got sucked into a vortex, and that we needed to get back home, by finding any miracle around the city. Brightira heard every word I said, and she becoming worried.

"That sounds terrible." said Brightira. "Well, do you have parents and/or guardians back at your home?"

"Yes we do." I answered.

"Oh good." Brightira sighed in relief. "Now Clumsy, why don't you lead your new friends to their room for the nights?"

Clumsy obeyed and lead us to our own room, where me and my friends were going to sleep in.

"Don't worry ponies, I'm really sure you'll all find a back home soon." Brightira told us.

Me and my friends picked out our own beds on our own bedroom. Now that we were all ready, Clumsy began to take us to the playroom; he promised us to meet more of his friends there. While we were walking, I started asking Clumsy questions.

"Clumsy, since you live in this castle, you're part of the royal family?" I asked.

"Actually, no." Clumsy answered. "I'm just an orphan, and so are the rest of my friends."

"Orphan?!?" Joydan Gallop asked shockingly.

"Yeah. I'm the first one to live here. Princess Brightira let orphans live in the castle until we find a family. Except that, none of the adults seemed interested in us in their families."

"I'm sorry to hear this." Violet Rosey apologizes.

"Come on, everypony, let's keep on tracking."

I felt bad for Clumsy and and the foals he mentioned, when we heard his sad words. Nopony wanted to adopt them, probably because when the adults looked at them, they realized they didn't want them and left them. And, when Prince Thrillunt and Princess Brightira found them, they let them live with them at their castle for years until somepony adopts them. Orphans are worse to be, but my thoughts were still with my nightmare.
> Chapter 8: Meeting in the Playroom
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

We finally made to the playroom. There were 20 foals in there playing, singing, dancing, and reading. When Clumsy got their attention, everypony was excited to have new visitors.

First, Clumsy lead us to an earth pony colt, who was sleeping in his sleeping bag. He had turquoise fur, his mane and tail were both blue, his cutie mark was a cresent shaped moon with a star, and he wears a purple and blue night-cap. His name was Nighttime Nathan, and he was the sleepiest pony ever.

"Oh no." said Clumsy. "Everypony this Nighttime Nathan and he's asleep. Can you help me wake him up?"

We agreed to help out. Clumsy told us how to do so, by shouting "WAKE UP NIGHTTIME!!" after he counted to 3. And, it worked, Nighttime woke up from his nap.

"Nighttime Nathan, we have guests." Clumsy told Nighttime.

"Oh hello." Nighttime yawned. "Nice to meet you all. Do any of you like bedtime stories?"

"Yes, but it's not bedtime right now." I replied.

Next, I discovered a foal hiding under a desk, believing it was scared.

"Hey Clumsy, there's a foal hiding below the desk." I told Clumsy.

Clumsy knew who it was, so he walked to the foal and helped it to be calm. The foal felt a little better, she came out from under the desk. The foal a pegasus filly with whitish pink fur, a long mane and a long tail, both in different streaks of pink, a cutie mark of a heart different colored triangles around it, and lovely wings with big pink feathers. Her name was Trueheart, and she was really, really, shy.

"Hello. I'm Trueheart." she said a little silently.

"Hi Trueheart." Said Ellagant Glare. "I'm Ellagant Glare."

"It's nice to meet you, too."

Then, a unicorn filly stepped up to meet us. She had hot pink fur, her mane had streaks of raspberry and violet, her cutie mark was 2 hearts, and she wears a hair band on her head and purple glasses. Her name was Tender Love, and she was the most lovable pony ever.

"Well, hello everypony. I'm Tender Love." she said. "I love having new guests and friends like you."

"You look amazing." said Joydan Gallop.

Next up, was a unicorn colt. He had orange fur, brown hair, a cutie mark as the symbol of pi, and black circled glasses, and a British accent. His name was Brainiac, and he was the smartest pony ever, behind me.

"Greetings friends, I'm Brainiac." he said. "I'm pleased to tell you that you all are very unique for Wonderworld. I know everything about this city, you're gonna need a guide."

"That will be great." I say.

And then, a pegasus colt was flying above us, looking mad. He had very dark blue fur, a mane with turquoise and grayish blue streaks, a cutie mark of a storm cloud with lightning bolts on it, and an attitude a little bad. His name was Grouchy Storm, and he was the maddest pony ever, just not the meanest.

"Some meeting with new foals, eh?" Grouchy asked. "Now, that's something you don't see everyday."

"You really got to get all over it, Mr. Grumpy." Fearful Moe said.

"Excuse me?!" Grouchy grumbled. "Your information is Grouchy Storm, alright?"

Next, was another unicorn filly. Her fur was purplish pink, her mane  and tail were stylishly purple and pink, and her cutie mark was crossed lollipops. Her name was Lolly Poply. She loves to make candy for everypony. And the one thing she loves the most was sharing.

"Hello friends, I'm Lolly Poply." she said. "I like to share a lollipop with each of you."

We appreciated her sweetness, that she really gave us jumbo lollipops.

Then, there was an earth pony colt with vermilion colored fur, a mane and tail red and lemonade colored, and a cutie mark of a magnet. His name was Iron Magnet. The one thing he loves is playing video games.

"Well hey there." Iron said. "I'm Iron Magnet. I just got a new game yesterday, and I liked to let you play it with me."

Next up, was another pegasus colt. He had dark green fur, a mane and tail of different streaks of brown, a cutie mark with Scottish accessories, a kilt with Scottish colors, and a Scottish accent. His name was Gutsy Scott. He really was a Scottish pony, he also liked to do a Scottish dance and even play his bagpipes. In fact, he had a full amount of courage, he'd never become scared at all.

"Well hello, lads." Gutsy said. "It's an honor to meet new friends. My name is Gutsy Scott."

"Gutsy Scott?" I asked. "It is because you are Scottish?"

"Aye, lad." Gutsy answered.

"That sounds great. And, I love your bagpipes." said Rollette Skate.

"Why thank you. lass."

Then, we met another earth pony colt. His fur was lemony yellow, his mane and tail were black and yellow like stripes of a bee, and his cutie mark was a bee hive. His name was Bumble Berry. What he likes to do is to make some honey and jams for everypony. And, the one thing he's able to do is to communicate with bees.

"Oh hi, I'm Bumble Berry." he said. "You're just in time to see my bees handing me some honey."

"BEES?!?" Fearful asked frightfully.

"Don't worry. I got you covered." Bumble said to calm Fearful down.

Then, the bees gave Bumble some honey into a glass jar.

"You see? Nout one sting." said Bumble.

But, he was wrong. A bee stung Bronze Feather on his front leg.

"Hey stripes!" Bumble shouted to the bee. "You know it's wrong to sting ponies. Go back into the hive!"

The bee flew back into the hive, feeling guilty and sad.

"I'm so sorry, we'll get your leg healed."

"But how?" Bronze asked.

"There's one of us who's a doctor." Clumsy said.

The next friend was really a doctor, who was a pegasus filly. Her fur was sapphire blue, her mane and tail were rebecca purple, and her cutie mark was a red cross for hospitality. Her name was Sapphire Serum, and she was a really great doctor.

"Hello everypony, I'm Sapphire Serum." she said.

Then, she started to help Bronze.

"So you got stung by a bee, huh? Sapphire asked Bronze. "I can heal that."

Sapphire opened up her doctor's bag and found what she needed. She covered Bronze's bee sting with some healing cream, then she put a bandage on it.

"There you go, all better." said Sapphire.

Then, an earth pony colt walked up to have a checkup. His fur was all red, his mane was tan and chartreuse streaks, his cutie mark was crossed barbells, and he wears a sweatband on his head. His name was Hefty Haman, and he was the strongest pony ever.

"Hey friends, I'm Hefty Haman. I'm was just getting another checkup after my exercise"

Sapphire put on her stethoscope to listen to Hefty's heartbeat. Hefty's heart could be beating faster, when he was exercising.

"Well, your heart was beating just fine. Keep it up." Sapphire said to Hefty.

Next, was two earth pony fillies, who appeared to be twin sisters. Their names were Pineapple Tidbit and Lemonlime, and the one thing about them is that their tails were literally attached to each other. Pineapple's fur was marigold, her mane and tail were magenta and orange streaks, and her cutie mark was a pineapple. Lemonlime's fur was electric lime colored, her mane and tail were teal, yellow, and graphic green streaks, and her cutie mark was three limes with yellow on the inside.

"Hello friend, I'm Pineapple Tidbit." Pineapple said.

"And I'm Lemonlime." said Lemonlime.

"And we're twin sisters." they both said together.

"Nice to meet you two." I say.

Then, I noticed behind the twins, that their tails were both attached.

"Um... Your tails are attached to each other?" I asked.

"Oh yeah." Lemonlime answered. "We were born this way."

"But, we get along just fine." said Pineapple. "We can handle any problem."

Then, we met another unicorn colt. His fur was raspberry colored, his mane and tail were primrose colored, and his cutie mark was a radish. His name was Radish Ryan, and he loves to do origami, which is folding paper to make something.

"What a pleasure to have visitors, I'm Radish Ryan." he said. "Do you ponies like origami? I could teach you how to make some cool paper stuff."

"That sounds great, but maybe later." I replied.

Next, we met another unicorn colt. His fur was bright green, his mane and tail had different shades of green, and his cutie mark was a shamrock. His name was Lucky Clover. He was Irish, and he knows good luck.

"Greetings friends, I'm Lucky Clover." he said. ""You're lucky to be here in Wonderworld, huh?"

"Kinda Lucky." Joydan Gallop said.

"Well, I bet someday you can join me on my own adventure to find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow."

"Okay then." said Frosty Flavor.

Then, when met another earth pony filly. Her fur was primrose colored, her mane and tail were both in different shades of pink, and her cutie mark was a present box. Her name was Present Prize, and she loves to tell jokes and put up pranks.

"Hi friends, my name is Present Prize." she said. "I'm so happy to have new friends around. I got a great joke for you all: what kind of pizza topping do puppies like?"

"I don't know." said Daytime Darwin. "What kind pizza topping to puppies like?"

"Pupperoni." Present laughed.

"Good one." said Tangerine Twist.

Then, she handed me a present. When I opened it, a blast of glitter out and covered my face. It was a prank on me.

"Gotcha!" Present laughed.

"Very funny." I said back so ammused.

Then, we met another pegasus filly. She had fur of sheen green, her mane and tail were raspberry, coral, and lilac colors, and her cutie mark was a beaker filled with liquid chemicals. Her name was Powder Neutron, and she was really a professional at science.

"Oh my goodness!" she said when she saw us approaching her at her science desk. "What great ponies. My name's Powder Neutron and you're just in time to see my big experiment."

She showed us a new science project. She started mixing some chemical compounds in a beaker, shaking it up to mix it well, then she added one drop onto a flat-bottomed flask, and a chemical explosion fills the room with vapor.

"Isn't this cool? Lots of science." said Powder.

"Not bad." said Bubble Burst.

Next, we met another earth pony filly. Her fur was pinkish red, her mane and tail were streaks of sheen green and lilac purple, and her cutie mark was a tomato with three gems. Her name was Scarlet Tomato, and what she love is to be a role model.

"Hello, little foals." she said. "I'm Scarlet Tomato, the best role model filly ever."

She was showing off with a lovely look. What she had was green eye shadow and some bows.

And last, but not least, we met a unicorn filly. Her fur was plum colored, her mane was dark blue and magenta, her cutie mark was musical notes on lines, and she was wearing a musical vest. Her name was Melody Aria. She was the most musical pony ever. She has a great set of pipes for singing, the right steps and movements for dancing, and she was great to play each and every musical instrument.

"Salutations, I'm Melody Aria." she said. "You're all on time for my musical performance."

Melody was being a one pony band, a pony who plays more than one instrument. Me and my friends were enjoying her performance, even when she was using her magic on multiple instruments. After playing for 10 minutes, we gave her a big round of applause.

"Thank you so much, friends." Melody said.

"Well anyway, what brings you here to Wonderworld?" Lucky Clover asked us.

I told our new friends everything: the time when me and my friends got sucked into a vortex, leading to Wonderworld, that we got lost, and that we need to find a way back.

"I'm sorry to hear that." Sapphire Serum said.

"Well, I'm sure you'll find a way." said Scarlet Tomato.

"Maybe tomorrow, we can show you all the wonders of the city." said Clumsy Bumzy.

"That'll be great." I say.

Then, we began to do some fun in the castle's playroom. I was lucky we didn't get into more trouble, but my thoughts were still saying that we could be in danger at anytime.
> Chapter 9: God's Wonders
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not so far from Wonderworld, there was a spooky forest, populated with dead trees. And there was a big black castle. That castle belonged to Queen Frowny, the pony who attacked countless times in history. Alicorns were immortal, but since she lost her wings, she was mortal, meaning she aged and died. But, she started to have a family of her own before she died. She told her children and they told theirs' about Wonderworld being a sick place. That they had to get rid of the entertainment. But, throughout the years, they still hadn't get it out.

Right now, Frowny's descendant, Queen Eschew, was living in the castle. She was observing the events of what's going on in Wonderworld with her telescope.

"Look at them. Just look at them." said Eschew. "The happy, joyful ponies of Wonderworld. All the happiness and joy just makes me sick."

Then, she puts down the telescope and began to grumble of how she thinks of Wonderworld.

"Always happy, always singing, always playing, and always cheering!" Eschew grumbled. "We'll soon, all this entertaining nonsense will go away for good."

She went downstairs and began to look at her new contraption hidden under a giant cloak.

"My new invention is done, but I needed to find a pony to help me test it before we start. And, once I got all the magic, I will take over Wonderworld and get rid of all the happiness!!!"

Then, she let out her evil cackle, when there was lightning and thunder performing in the background. She called her assistants to come and see her. Her assistants were named Thorn Chop and Caren Coal. Thorn was an earth pony and Caren was a unicorn.

"Thank you two, for coming over." Eschew told them. "Now listen carefully. My latest scheme is almost complete. All we need now is a foal to be our test subject. I need magic to make me powerful."

"Yes, your majesty." they both said.

Then, they grabbed some chains and big sucking vacuums to use to capture some foals for Eschew. And, off they went to Wonderworld.

"Pretty soon, when I get magic, I'll get more foals around the city and put an end to fun and entertainment. The foals will have a new ride to make them pay."

Hours later back at Thrillunt and Brightira's castle, it was nighttime, that we must get ready for bed. Me and my friends were brushing our teeth in the bathroom we were sharing. Then, we began to lay down in our beds.

"Well everypony, today was a little bad from the start, but on the bright side, we got lucky to have a place to sleep until we find a way back." I told my friends.

"True." said Ellagant Glare.

"Special, do you really think we'll find a way." Bronze Feather asked.

"Of course." I answered. "And I know God will always be looking out for us, and has way for us too."

"Thank you, Special." said Fearful Moe. "I'm so happy we're all still alive."

"Me too." Frosty Flavor agreed.

Then suddenly, Princess Brightira came in to check on us.

"Hello everypony, are you all ready for tomorrow?" she asked.

"Yes, your highness." we all answered.

"Let's all get some sleep now, we got some entertainment for you all. Good night."

"Good night." we all said to the princess.

We all laid down in our beds to get some sleep. But, I didn't feel tired that night, I still couldn't get the vision out of my head. After all, the vortex was the first sign of me and my friends being in trouble. Then suddenly, I heard a voice calling me. That was the voice of God. I got out of bed, and walked upstairs to Thrillunt and Brightira's roof. Then, the night sky began to light up, meaning God is going to speak to me.

"I'm here God." I prayed.

"Special, I do see you and your friends were in a world, where everything mythical in Equestria is real." God said. "Your friends back at your world are trying to find a way to find you, but a few of them aren't sure if you're alive."

"They're worried of me?" I asked.

"Yes Special, your vision you got last night is telling you that the end of the defenders is coming in a few days."

"This is terrible."

"Don't worry, Special. There is a way to get you and your friends back home. The answers are in Wonderworld, but first you need to build a communicating computer to call your friends back home."

"Yes God."

"And one more thing, just remember, I know some bad things happened all around world for everyone, but when it happens it will be turned into good. I always have a plan for you to keep you safe. Good luck, my boy."

Then, God began to leave, as the night sky began to fade.

In the morning back at Friendship HQ, the remaining defenders and the Mane 6 were working together to find a way to bring me and my friends back home.

"Okay everypony, we need to find way to get Special and the others back home." said Sunny Starscout.

"Well, all I know is that the vortex got them sucked in." Izzy Moonbow said. "Maybe we can open another one, and then find and bring them back."

"That'll work." said Amber Lake. "But, how can we open the portal?"

"Wait a minute," Zipp Storm said. "Misty, you said you saw a blue beam off of blue crystals, when we were inside the cave. Where do you think that beam came from?"

"I don't know." Misty Brightdawn. "It just showed up, when we were at the waterfall."

When they were thinking about the steps of how the portal was opened, Izzy just thought of something.

"Everypony, maybe we should go to the library and find a book of how magic crystals work." said Izzy.

They all agreed with Izzy. Sunny, Izzy, Horseshoe Henry were going to the Maretime Bay Public Library to find a book about magical crystals.
> Chapter 10: A Wonderful Day in a Wonderworld
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at Prince Thrillunt and Princess Brightira's castle in Wonderworld, me and my original and new friends were making breakfast. Gutsy Scott, Joydan Gallop, and Tangerine Twist were squeezing oranges to make orange juice. Grouchy Storm, Lucky Clover, Radish Ryan, Fearful Moe, and Bronze Feather were making toasts from toasters. Lemonlime, Pineapple Tidbit, and Daytime Darwin were putting fruits in separate bowls. Tender Love, Trueheart, Scarlet Tomato, Lolly Poply, Frosty Flavor, and Ellagant Glare were making waffles and pancakes. And, the rest of us were setting the table. With all the help with each other, breakfast was finally ready.

Prince Thrillunt and Princess Brightira entered the dining room, and they were pleased to see us making breakfast.

"Good morning, everypony." said Thrillunt. "How great of you all to make breakfast."

"Now, let's all eat." said Brightira.

We all sat in our seats and began to eat.

"Okay Special, to review." Thrillunt began to speak to me. "You and your friends are called the Great Defenders of Friendship back at your home, right?"

"Yes, we are." I say.

"And, you all got sucked into a vortex, when you were exploring a cave, and you're trapped in Wonderworld, until you find a way back?"

"Yes, your highness."

"Special, did God gave you an answer of how to get back?" Sharpy Gem asked me.

"He said there's an answer here in Wonderworld, but he told me to build a communicator to contact everypony back home, before I find the answer."

After our talk, we finished breakfast. We washed the dishes and put them away.

It was now 8:30 a.m. Brightira was now telling us all what to do today.

"Alright everypony, I'd like to tell you all something, before we leave." Brightira said. "I'm going to the hospital to have a prenatal check up toady. So, why don't you all go out into the city and have some fun?"

"Yes, your highness." I say.

Then, me and the other foals left the castle to enjoy the fun around Wonderworld.

When we were all around the streets of Wonderworld, it was all entertainment.

"So ponies," I was asking our new friends. "What are your favorite things to do in Wonderworld?"

"Well, we got lots of plans for today, even for you too." said Clumsy Bumzy.

Brainiac gave us maps of Wonderworld to look for the fun places we want to go. The whole city had lots of different places with their own theme, and there were 25 of them, the city itself is the largest of all.

The themes of all the places are called Old Town, Orlean Alley, Olympus Village, Chinatown, Prehistoric Cove, Medieval Kingdom, Pirate Island, Lonesome Graveyard, Crystal Caverns, Vintage Park, Country Dessert, Cloud Poofy Land, Zoo Wonderworld, Winter Hills, Sugar Rush, Toy Factory, Garden Grove, Sports Stadiums, Color Town, Aqua Reef, Village of Meals, Gaming City, Music Streets, Space Voyage, and the World of Tomorrow.

"This is really one big city." I say. "How can we all get those places fast?" I asked.

"Don't worry, everypony in the city can get to where they need to go with trams and hover carriages." said Powder Neutron.

"Impressive." said Rollette Skate.

"Everypony, before we go. I got something to tell you first." I told everypony. "God gave me a list of what I need to build the communicating computer."

"Why would he want you to build a computer?" Scarlet Tomato asked.

"To let everypony back home we're okay." I answered.

I texted the list into my friends' cell phones, so they could remember.

"And, I'll tell you what, we should split into groups to find these items around Wonderworld. We can have fun, but we got to get back home, as long ad we get to do God's request."

Then we all split into groups to enjoy the fun of Wonderworld.

Now, let me tell you about the different places of Wonderworld. Old town was the very first part built by Prince Colter Point. It was a really old part the city, but ponies still enjoy the antique entertainment.

Orlean Alley was a three-acre area. It only had 4 streets. Since it does not resemble a traditional urban plaza as much as an intricate series of "streets" that weave around shops, restaurants, and a point, it included the only overnight accommodations in the place open to the public.

Olympus Village was a Greek park of Wonderworld. Ponies will get to know the myths of ancient Greek. The special lighting and sound effects, in combination with the audio tour make the tour very enjoyable. Visitors feel that they are wandering from the dark tunnels of labyrinth to the bright Greek temples.

Chinatown is another old place in Wonderworld, full of culture and attractions from arts organizations like the cultural center at an old town of Mistmane's in Equestria, and the annual Lunar New Year festival to the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory and modern watering holes like Lunar Live. It's also one of the most walkable neighborhoods in the kingdom. Start at the Dragon Gate, then pursue Grant Avenue, the neighborhood's main through fare, for just a taste of the varied shops, bakeries, bars, and restaurants you can find here.

Prehistoric Cove was themed after prehistoric times in the world. It was based on dinosaurs, who lived in Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. It had a number of attractions. The dinosaurs were only glass statues and/or animatronics. Most ponies could go on safari on jeeps. There were water rides based on jungle rivers, a big maze, digging pits, and a laboratory so ponies can learn how dinosaurs lived for millions of years. Their motto was "Life will find a way."

Medieval Kingdom was themed after the ancient times in Equestria in our world. The attractions were named after royal knights, vikings, dragons, and a tournament. They had roller coasters, a drop tower ride, a merry-go-round, a swinging ship ride, a top spin ride, and a teacup ride. There were even plays to tell fairy tales.

Pirate Island is based on the times in the 17th century and pirates. There were lots of water rides and attractions. There's also a treasure hunting event for everypony to enjoy.

Lonesome Graveyard was themed for Nightmare Night, but it's a place full of haunted rides and attractions. There was a big haunted house full of lots of scary things inside, So BOO!!

Country Dessert is country and western themed. I had a rodeo, wagon rides, train rides, roller coasters that are based on old mines, antique merry-go-rounds, farm animal petting zoos, restaurants looking like saloons, western games, some ponies, dancing, and yodeling to enjoy country and western music, there were even some apple orchards with lots of apple trees. Ponies would pick apples into their own baskets and buy them for their families. Yippy-ki-yay.

Vintage Park is themed in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. Most ponies would like to dress up in retro clothes, go cruising in a few old fashioned cars, play some songs from the big juxebox, and even have some lunch and dinner at some old restaurants. And, there was also some races of old race cars, where ponies can watch. It sure would be fun to go on a car cruise.

Cloud Poofy Land is based on the sky. It was full of clouds. They are for bouncing and sliding. There were also some rides and attractions based on the weather. For example: rainbow slides, and snowflake gliding. You know what they say: "Whenever you are up in the sky, you can have fun so you fly."

Crystal Caverns is all crystal tunnels. There were real crystals around, and they light all the tunnels, so everypony could see better. The crystals were perfect for games and souvenirs. There was even some crystal escape rooms, crystal mazes, and some crystal mining. If Izzy Moonbow were here, she would've loved it.

Zoo Wonderworld is one big zoo full of animals around the world. The ponies working at the zoo know what animals do, like to eat, and what environments each animal live in. Some animals from the grasslands, jungles, tundras, desserts, swamps, islands, mountains, and waters. Everypony would love to learn about the animals' habitats, and go on safari. Adventure is out there.

Winter Hills is the place that stayed snowy everyday. All the hills were big and tall enough for winter fun. Everypony can go snowball fighting, ice fishing, ice skating, playing hockey, skiing, sledding, snow tubing, snowshoeing, dog sledding, snowboarding, and playing more winter activities. So much fun in the snow.

Sugar Rush is like a big place full of candy, ice cream, cakes, and more sugar food. There was a giant candy game called "Candy Land," ponies made themselves players to play along. There was a candy factory where everypony take tours to learn how candy was made. And last of all, there was a candy go-kart race, the best candy attraction. Ponies would drive on sugar themed go-karts and race to win a prize of a big supply of candy for their families. And, new theme go-karts will be made by the park visitors themselves. They would visit the go-kart factory, choose the kart they would want, and start making them. Just don't eat too much.

Toy Factory is the literally the largest factory to produce almost every toy for everypony. Ponies would enter there, learn the factory's history, make different toys they want, and buy toys that were already made. Don't go toying around.

Garden Grove is full of giant flowers and tress, insects and bugs. All the rides, games, and attractions were garden themed. The games involved tea parties, and balloons. And of course, ponies would even do some gardening for their plants. There was also a butterfly house where ponies can see every type of butterflies. Izzy would love it too.

Color Town is themed for arts and crafts. Ponies ride on art theme ride, play art games, and do arts and crafts for fun. There were lots of art museums, each with different themes for art. Textiles, Woodcraft, Papercraft, Pottery, and Glass Crafts, Jewelry, Street Art, and more. This was Color Carol's place to be, exactly.

Aqua Reef is themed after water environments, oceans, rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, but almost based on oceans. Every public art and fountains were themed after reefs and fish. It was one huge water park, full of water rides and slides, lots of swimming pools, lots of fresh water fish at the fresh water aquarium, lots of salt water fish at the salt water aquarium, lots of water shows with dolphins and whales, and lots more fun with water.

Music Streets is the most musical place. All the rides, games, museums, souvenirs, and shows were all full of music. All music is there: Rock, Pop, Hip-Hop, Blues, Jazz, Classical, Country, Western, Electronic, Funk, Reggae, Indie, Disco, Techno, Flamenco, and many more.

Village of Meals is based on food for fun. There are lots of restaurants around like fast-food restaurants, casual restaurants, buffets, cafes, pizzerias, ghost kitchens, and more. For fruits and vegetables, ponies would like to plant them, and buy from big markets. There was also a theme park based on cheese, called Cheesetopia. It was a big indoor park. There was cheese roller coaster, a waterfall that's made of nacho cheese, cheese carousel, cheese pirate ship ride, cheese hurricane ride, a mozzarella bounce house, cheese ferris wheel, a 4-D theater ride, ball game, bow and game, and other cheese rides and games. And there's a picnic themed park, where ponies can literally have a picnic and have fun at the same time. Food is good and fun together.

Sports Stadiums is based on sports. If Soccer Score were here, he would love it. There was every sport that everypony could play. There were also sports that were advanced, shiny, and high-tech. Example: an advenced roller skate park with soft obstacles. A bowling alley with big bowling balls and pins. The balls are for being rolled over manually on the inside. Ponies would climb inside and steer the balls toward the pins. There was a large miniature golf course. There were 36 holes and each one has its own theme. There was a bike race with different tracks. There was a sphere-like soccer stadium for playing soccer. Unlike regular soccer, Soccer X-7 is the field for being walk on walls. And hover goals, allowing players to score in every direction. There was Volleyball R-1, where ponies fly and play volleyball in the air. There was Hockey Z-9, the field was designed after the dystopian remains of the city. It had several different obstacles. The players earn points by shooting the puck into their goal, which will shoot out flames soon after. There was an obstacle course, where ponies will race to the finish line by passing every obstacle. There was Basketball Y-8, where ponies can play basketball on walls as well.

Gaming City is all an indoor arcade full of hundreds of games and stuff. There were premium, air hockey, competitive, driving, shooting, environmental, fighting, pinball, and simulator games. Ponies would buy tokens to play games, win tickets, and earn prizes. Iron Magnet loves to play games at the arcade.

Space Voyage is based on outer space. Most ponies love to learn about space. All the rides were in shapes of rockets and alien ships. The games were almost all rind tosses, while there were also hammerhead games, pinball games, basketball games with rubber balls shaped as asteroids, a beanbag game of the Solar System, and other space games. There were also kiddie rides in shape of small rockets. And there was a space ski-lift ride. There were space museums, where ponies learn about space. Everyone loves to go to space, for infinity and beyond.

And last, but not least, the World of Tomorrow is the last and best place of Wonderworld. It was based on the future. There were lots of rides that were all advanced and expensive to build.

All the places at Wonderworld were amazing. Since the founding, Colter Point wanted the city to be bigger and more entertaining for ponies. And all thanks to him and his descendants, including Princess Brightira, Wonderworld is more fun. If the city was real in our world, we would have more happiness for now.
> Chapter 11: Fairful Events
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thorn Chop and Caren Coal were wearing cloaks to be sure nopony could know they were working for Queen Eschew. They were walking around the city to search for foals for the queen's plan.

"Caren, I'm not sure if we can do it by tomorrow because we would fail our master." Thorn said.

"Just be thankful we have some tools to capture them easy." said Caren. "Even if the princess tried to stop us, I'll beat her for good."

Then, she felt a little scratch on her throat.

"Man, I can go for some coffee right now."

They began to take a break. Caren walked by a nearby coffee shop to have some coffee before they continue.

For me and my friends, we were getting supplies for the computer. While they were doing that, they were having fun playing games, riding on rides, and shopping for souvenirs. And, there were events starting right now. One of the events was snow tubing race at Winter Hills.

The ponies participating in the race were Rollette Skate, Needle Stitch, Fearful Moe, Frosty Flavor, Gutsy Scott, Trueheart, Scarlet Tomato, and Radish Ryan. They all climbed to the top of the hill, so they could start the race. Once they got to the top, they all got onto their own snow tubes to ride on, they also put on their helmets to be safe. The race was very long, the foals would like to ride down. The lights changing from red and green, and off they go. They were having fun sliding down the hill, they were going up and down the bumps, did a few loops and zigzags, gone through the big blue tunnel, and went down the longest drop ever. And now, they all went across the finish line Fearful Moe won 1st place.

For a few more of us, we saw another event at Vintage Park, the derby go kart race. Me, Tangerine Twist, Sharpy Gem, Daytime Darwin, Ellagant Glare, Bubble Burst, Clumsy Bumzy, Lolly Poply, Grouchy Storm, Nighttime Nathan, Lucky Clover, Iron Magnet, Bumble Berry, Present Prize, and Melody Aria signed up for the race, and picked out our own karts. Lots of karts looked pretty good with cool colors. The race was about to start in a few minutes, we must get ready. We selected our own karts, put on our racing gear, and drove to the starting line. All of the racers were ready to race, and the racing fans were amazed about the looks of their go-karts. The announcer came out and see that the racers were ready. He blew his trumpet to began, all the racers drove away, and everypony cheered as the race started. The track was a little advanced, there were lots of jumps, turns, and obstacles. All the racers were close to the finish line. They passed it and the race was over. I won 1st place, so I won a trophy, big and made of gold.

After all the fun we had, we all meet each other at a restaurant at the Village of Meals. We were eating our favorite food and drinking our favorite drinks. We all got what I need to build the communicating computer, except nopony got a stargazer. I needed a telescope to know my world is to send the message.

"Everypony, we got everything I need, but the last thing I need is a stargazer." I say.

"What's a stargazer?" Lolly Poply asked.

"It's another word for a telescope." Sharpy Gem answered.

"Well, I where there are lots of stargazers, Space Voyage." said Brainiac.

"Let's go, everypony." I say.

Then, we all began to walk to Space Voyage to find a telescope.

At the Wonderworld hospital, Princess Brightira's check up was done, her unborn twins were fine. Now, she could go on the rest of her day observing her city. she was visiting a smoothie shop to buy a smoothie for herself. Her favorite fruits were berries, so she bought a wild berry smoothie in a large cup. After she got her smoothie, she began to take a walk. But then all of the sudden, she spotted two ponies dressed in cloaks. Those ponies were Thorn Chop and Caren Coal, Queen Eschew's loyal assistants. Brightira believed They were up to something sinister, so she began to follow them to find out what's going on.

For me and my friends, we made it to Space Voyage. And we arrived at the space store.

"There it is." said Brainiac. "Right where we need to be."

"You are amazing, Brainiac." I say. "Alright everypony, all I have to do is to find a perfect stargazer. You can have fun and shop for things, but we have one hour before we leave."

Everypony listened and we all entered the store for some shopping. But, what we didn't notice is that Thorn and Caren were spying on us. They were about to capture us and take us to Queen Eschew.

"Thorn, we have found some perfect foals." Caren said to Thorn. "Get your vacuum ready, time to get us some kids."

Then they started to go get us. When Princess Brightira saw the whole thing, she became so worried about us. She knew she couldn't do everything alone, so she took out her cell phone and called her husband.

The space store was very big, it had almost everything: stuffies, action figures, science kits, and even a mini restaurant. Me and my friends split up to go shopping. Fearful Moe had found an enormous glow-in-the-dark flashlight that changes colors from red to purple.

Sharpy Gem had found a big model of a planet made of crystals, and she loved it.

Bronze Feather had found some space stuffies, what he likes is the one, which was a furry alien creature.

Frosty Flavor was at the books section, she had found a Wonderworld dessert book, she likes to use it to find out what sweets she would like to make.

Elleagant Glare, Lolly Poply, Trueheart, and Scarlet Tomato were at the candy section to try out some candy.

Grouchy Storm was on his own. He had found a beautiful plush toy he adores, he began to pretend to have a date.

For me, I was searching for a telescope with some help from Brainiac, Nighttime Nathen, Clumsy Bumzy, and Daytime Darwin.

"Special, me, Nighttime, Clumsy know where the best stargazers are at, so we thought you might like the company." said Brainiac.

"Okay, perfect. Come on." I say.
> Chapter 12: Attack in the Space Store
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thorn and Caren had enter the store to catch us. They spread out to find as much as they could. Princess Brightira entered the store too, to find and protect us from being captured.

Tender Love showed Violet Rosey some pretty costumes.

"What do think?" Tender asked Violet.

"These costumes are also flower themed? What?" Violet exclaimed.

For me, Daytime Darwin, Brainiac, Clumsy Bumzy, and Nighttime Nathan, we have found the perfect stargazer I need.

"There are the stargazers." said Brainiac.

"They're on higher shelves." said Daytime.

"You're right." I agreed with Daytime. "Ponies, we're gonna need a footstool and a flat kart."

Daytime and Nighttime went to find a foot stool, while Clumsy and Brainiac went to get a flat kart.

Tender and Violet picked out the costumes they want to buy. Brightira had found them before they got into trouble.

"Violet, Tender, thank goodness I found you two." Brightira said.

"Princess Brightira, how was your prenatal check up?" Violet asked.

"No time. You're both gonna be in trouble soon. We have to find the others and head back to the castle."

Tender and Violet obeyed and followed Brightira to find the others. And then, Brightira finds more foals; Sharpy Gem, Frosty Flavor, Bronze Feather, and Bubble Burst.

"Princess Brightira, you're here." said Bronze Feather.

"Come on, kids. We got to get you back quickly." said Brightira.

Now let's visit Fearful Moe, Joydan Gallop, Iron Magnet, and Powder Neutron. They were together to look around the store a little bit more. But, what they didn't notice is Thorn was closing in on them. He turned on his vacuum and sucked in the ponies, trapping in the bag.

"Hey ponies, what happened?'

"I don't know, but I think somepony was playing pranks on us." said Powder Neutron.

"I hope Special will find us." said Fearful Moe.

Grouchy Storm was still having a pretend date.

"My perfect girl, don't you ever forget that one magical moment our worlds met. And, I wasn't grouchy. I wasn't." Grouchy said dramatically. "Can you please say one word already? I'm dying here."

But then, Thorn vacuumed up Grouchy, too.

For me, Brainiac, Daytime, Clumsy, and Nighttime, we were getting the stargazer from the top shelf and onto the flat kart. It was a little heavy, but with a little teamwork, we could get it done.

"Alright. Technically, when loading cargo onto a foot stool..." Brainiac was saying.

"Not a good time, Brainiac. Just push." I say.

Then, Gutsy Scott tagged along to help us.

"Hello lads, come join the club." Gutsy said.

As we were coming down, Clumsy stumbled and fell, causing the stargazer to slide down the footstool and land on the kart. But, the kart was rolling away, until Ellagant, Lolly, Trueheart, and Scarlet stopped it for them.

"There you go, boys." said Scarlet.

"You go, girls." said Nighttime.

"Come on everypony, to the cash register." I say.

We all climbed aboard the flat kart carrying the stargazer and rode it to the cash register.

"This is amazing." said Lolly.

"Where did you learn ho to drive this kart?" Brainiac asked.

"Just self-taught." I answered.

We were getting close to the cashiers, when suddenly, Caren vacuumed Gutsy Scott, Brainiac, Nighttime, Lolly Poply, and Scarlet Tomato. When the rest of us saw what happened, they were giving the kart a more speed to get away from being captured. Caren was chasing us after us, until she saw more of us.

For Tangerine Twist, Present Prize, Rollette Skate, Radish Ryan, Bumble Berry, and Melody Aria, they were looking for me, before Caren finds them and had them cornered.

"Hello, children." Caren said. "You're more adorable than ever."

"Oh, I guess you outsmarted us." Melody said dramatically. "Or not."

Then, me and my other friends came by just in time to save them by letting them onboard the kart before they get vacuumed up. Thorn was chasing them, before he got vacuumed up by accident. Caren was trying to get him out, but she couldn't. So, I stopped the kart and ran by to help her by switching the vacuum from suck to blow. Caren's vacuum was going out of control, it blew out Thorn and the rest of the foals. And then, when Caren was about to turn it off, it blew up, got sabotaged. Thorn got stuck under heavy toy shelves, he's finally trapped. I ran to my friends back with the group, before they get captured again.

"Come on, ponies We got to regroup." I say.

Once we were together, we were about to leave. But then, Caren got our attention.

"Ponies, stop going anywhere. I'm not done with you yet."

She was coming towards us, until Princess Brightira stood in front of us to protect us.

"What is the meaning of this?" Brightira questioned Caren. Why are you and the other pony doing this to the orphans and their friends?"

"I am inviting them to a castle, where my queen will present them a big attraction. We're not trying to hurt or anything." Caren answered.

"Vacuuming them is not an appropriate. I will not let you have these foals. I order you both to let them go, leave your vacuums, and get out of Wonderworld."

"I'm sorry princess, but my orders come from my queen. And besides, I'm not leaving until I'm full handed with foals. And, if you ever want Wonderworld to be great, you have to stop with all the fun"

"Excuse me? I'm the ruler of Wonderworld, and I am not stopping fun at all. My ancestor made this city to have happy ponies. I cannot make changes to greediness and glumness. You just leave me no choice, but to deal with you. I may be pregnant with twins, and have a few days left, but since you showed up with some terrible behavior, I must protect my subjects from you!"

And then, the magic dual has begun. Princess Brightira flew up higher and fires her beam of magic at Caren, who retaliates with her own magic beam. Brightira was powerful enough, she may win. But when she had her magic getting close to Caren, she felt a little pain in bump. Caren had finally got the chance to beat her, her magic beam was now pushing towards the princess. Brightira was till feeling the pain in her belly, her magic was getting weak, and Caren's magic overpowered her, smacking her to the floor, knocking off her crown, and causing her beautiful mane and tail to stop flowing.

"PRINCESS BRIGHTIRA!!!" I yelled in stressed.

Me and the other foals ran towards to see how she feels. She was weak and she couldn't get up.

"This is much surprising." said Caren. "Now, I can continue my job."

I knew she could be right, so I had to be the Great Defender of Friendship to stop her.

"Not today!" I shouted. "You are not done yet!"

I began to use my alicorn magic from my hooves to start the fight again.

"Ellagant Glare, help me out!" I ordered.

"Yes, Special!" Ellagant responded.

Caren was blasting magic towards us, but me and Ella blasted our magic back. And this time, our magic was more powerful, we beat Caren, as our magic pushed her out the window, and she fell into a dumpster in an alley.

"We did it, Ella." I say.

Then, Ella saw the rest of our friends still trapped in Thorn's vacuum bag. So, she unzipped the bag to set them free.

Princess Brightira's belly was still painful, and her magic was still weak. We were all a little worried about her defeated.

"I think I'm having contractions." Brightira groaned.

"Sapphire Serum, can you give her a check up?" I asked.

"The doc is in." Sapphire responded.

Then, she took out her doctor's bag she brought to give the princess a check up. Prince Thrillunt arrived with some guards.

"Brightira!" Thrillunt said worried when he saw his wife hurt. "Are you alright, my love?" he asked.

"She was defeated by an evil unicorn." I told the prince.

"I'm weak and having contractions." said Brightira.

Sapphire Serum was touching her belly to see how the princess and her twins were doing. Until finally, she gave Brightira the good news.

"Your highness, you do have contractions, but they're false contractions, braxton hicks. The twins are not coming, and they're fine."

Everyone was in relief, but Brightira's magic was still weak, her mane and tail would never flow again without stronger magic. Then, I remembered the bad guy, I had to do something else.

"Guards, arrest that pony trapped under the shelves." I told them.

"What's the charge?" one guard asked me.

"He and a unicorn mare were using giant vacuums to trap us and taking us to their boss." I say.

"No, you can't arrest me." Thorn talked back to me.

"And now, he was talking back to me and resisting arrest."

The guards obeyed and locked Thorn in chains.

"Well everypony, I'm glad we're all still in one piece, but now we got to pay for the stargazer, get the rest of the stuff we got, and head back to the castle, where we will be safe." I told everypony.

We helped Brightira up on her hooves, and bought the stargazer, and the store. The guards were taking Thorn to the castle dungeons.
> Chapter 13: Teleportation Friendly Location
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

We all made it back to the castle safe and sound. Me and my friends needed to relax by taking naps, as we started to lay in our beds. Princess Brightira was still having braxton hicks, she could still feel the pain in her bump. All she had to do is to relieve those contractions by changing her position, especially after being in one position for an extended period of time, taking a warm bath, taking small breaks, and rehydrate by drinking lots of water. So, she got into her royal hot tub and relax with a big cup of water. Her mane and tail were still not flowing because her magic was still weak. Brightira feared how could  she protect her beloved city if she's no longer strong enough?

Meanwhile back in Equestria in our world, Sunny her friends, and the remaining defenders were figuring out how the crystals work.

"The book said two crystals have magical powers to create portals." Izzy Moonbow said when she read the book. "The blue crystals allow you to travel to different dimensions of Equestria."

She continued reading, and saw that the way to travel to different dimensions have two ways. To go traveling clockwise is to reflect the sunlight from the blue crystal to go forward. To go counter-clockwise is to reflect light from the moon from the blue crystal to go backwards. And then, when the crystals' reflected light onto water, a portal will open. But for the red crystals, when light from either the sun or the moon bounced off the red crystals, red portals will open. And, red portals only trap you into limbo forever.

"Okay, I think we got everything we need." said Sunny Starscout. "We need blue crystals to make the portal and then we go find the missing defenders, and bring them back."

Everypony agreed and became happy that they were one step ahead to get us home.

Back at Wonderworld, I was building the communicating computer out of all the stuff we found around the city. I was wiring, screwing, and painting the right colors.

Evening came and everypony began to have a little fun in the castle playroom. Princess Brightira was feeling better; her false contractions were gone. But, she had 3 days until she gives birth to her twins. She enter the playroom to tell the fillies that it's time for a spa day. All the girl ponies followed her, including the female defenders, to the castle spa.

The princess and the fillies were enjoying their spa evening. Ellagant Glare, Frosty Flavor, Lolly Poply, and Scarlet Tomato were using curling irons to straighten their manes and tails. Sharpy Gem, Tender Love, Trueheart, Pineapple Tidbit, Lemonlime, and Powder Neutron were putting mud on their faces, and Melody Aria and Princess Brightira were having a hooficure. Everypony seems to be having fun with R&R.

"I've never been on a castle spa before, this is so relaxing." said Ellagant Glare.

"I agree. I really love spas." said Tender Love.

"I do believe we are going to be beautiful." said Trueheart.

"We could maybe have a girls slumber party back at home." said Frosty Flavor. "Rollette, are you doing alright?"

"Just fine, Frosty." Rollette answered.

Brightira was happy that the girls were enjoying their relaxation. She started asking the girl defenders some questions.

"I have some questions for the new girls." said Brightira. "Do any of you have your own hobbies?"

"Of course, not only hobbies, but special powers, too." Ellagant Glare answered.

The girl defenders told Princess Brightira about their hobbies, and showed her their own powers.

"That is so amazing." Brightira said. "How exactly did you get your powers?"

"Well, when we were in a final battle with a pegasus named Cozy Glow, three magical crystals gave us the powers and the Magic of Friendship to beat her. They're really permanent." said Ellagant.

"You ponies really are lucky." said Brightira.

After the pep-talk, everypony was going to have their manes stylish. With bows, ponytails, and flowers, everypony became pretty mares.

For me, I was done building the communicating computer as I placed the big antenna on top. The sun began to go down, which gave me a chance to do some stargazing. I set up the telescope and began to look for a star that was our home planet. Until finally, I spotted the right star right nest to the North star. I went to the computer and put in the star's location. Then, the satellite pointed at the star and zapped a laser beam at it, I'm sending my message to home.

Back at Friendship Headquarters, Izzy Moonbow and Misty Brightdawn were back with big blue crystals to open up another portal and find us. What everypony else didn't notice is that Izzy also brought some red crystals too, just in case.

"Well everypony, we got what we need to open the portal." Misty said.

"Great, now we need next is a waterfall." said Sunny Starscout. "And, I know Special has one as a home decor."

Just before Sunny could get the waterfall decor I made days ago, everypony heard a ringing sound coming from the big screen, meaning somepony was calling.

"Somepony's calling." said Zipp Storm.

"But, what about us?" Horseshoe Henry asked. "We can't do some rescues without Special."

"We'll help you." Hitch Trailblazer said.

Amber Lake pressed the button to answer the call.

"Hello, you've reached the Great Defenders of Friendship. Better than one friend and we're here to defend. This is Amber Lake."

Then suddenly....

"Hi Amber, you miss me?"

The call was coming from me, much to everyone's surprise.

"Everypony, it's Special Hoof!" Amber shouted.

Everypony gathered and they were overjoyed to see me.

"Special, is that really you?" Pipp asked me.

"Yes it is." I answered.

"Oh boy, you are alive." Sunny exclaimed. "Where are you right now?"

"Me and my friends are in Wonderworld, and we saw lots of cool stuff there."

Everypony was listening to know what happened.

"And, we're looking for way back home."

"Well Special, we've found a way to find you, we'll be there pretty soon." said Sunny.

"Okay, we'll come home either way."

Then, I said "goodbye" to everypony before hanging up. Everypony was happy we were still alive, they couldn't wait to find us.
> Chapter 14: Hoof Rock Boogie Board
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the castle playroom, the colts were feeling a little bored, even Grouchy Storm hates to be bored.

"What's keeping Special so long?" Joydan Gallop asked.

"He's kinda busy getting attention." said Brainiac.

"I don't know about you colts, but I'm feeling bored." said Bubble Burst. "Without a way home, I may never see my parents again."

Prince Thillunt had entered the playroom to check in on the colts.

"Alright boys, everything is all settled." Thrillunt said. "Time to either have snacks or file for unemployment,"

When he noticed the colts were down...

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"I'm sure we'll be fine." Bronze Feather answered tearfully.

"Special's taking so long." said Joydan Gallop.

"Tell me about it." said Grouchy.

"All this waiting is killing us." said Tangerine Twist.

"I know the feeling." Thrillunt said.

Then, he thought of something.

"Better yet, I know the cure."

He lead the colts to the gaming room, where he, Brightira, and the orphans to play games. Thrillunt bought a new game, while we were exploring the city hours ago. It was a Rock Band video game, with a microphone, two guitars, one bass, and a drum set. He plugged in the instruments and microphone, so the boys can play. Then, he taught them how to play the game. They had to follow the rhythm, match the colors with buttons, and have fun.

The colts were having fun with the new game. Grouchy Storm and Gutsy Scott were playing the electric guitars, Tangerine Twist was playing the bass, Clumsy Bumzy plays the drums, and Brainiac was the lead singer. They were having fun and playing the game very well.

Across the room is where the other colts play another game, where foals play and dance. I had two dancing pads for two players. The players must memorize the moves and dance them in the right order and rhyme. If the player gets the moves right, he or she gets a star and five stars fills the bar a little. When the bar is full, the player moves to the next level. But, if the player gets the wrong moves, he'll hear a buzz and get a red X, and five X's lowers the bar.

After the colts had fun with the video games, the girls return from their spa and showed the colts their new mane styles, even Brightira's mane was looking beautiful.

I returned to check in on everypony.

"How's everypony for tonight?" I asked.

"Special, you're back." said Bubble Burst.

"We're so happy to see you again. I'm nearly out of blueberries." said Violet Rosey.

"Did you build the computer?" Frosty Flavor asked.

"Sure did." I answered. "I called our friends at home, and they told me they've found a way to find us."

"Really?!?" Fearful Moe asked. "What way did they find?"

"Unfortunately, they didn't say."

The defenders moaned to hear nothing else great.

"I'm glad our friends back home are okay." said Rollette Skate. "But, we are going home. Aren't we?"

"We are. Just not today." I say. "Now, come on everypony, let's head to bed."

Everypony was in bed for the night, but the defenders were sad about being stuck in Wonderworld.

"I was hoping I would be sleeping at HQ tonight." said Joydan Gallop.

"Me too." Bronze Feather replied. "I've never been so far away from home before."

"Well, there was yesterday." said Violet Rosey.

"Don't worry, everypony." I say. "Let's get a good night sleep and we'll be better tomorrow."

"Special, are we gonna get home and reunite with our friends and families?" Sharpy Gem asked me.

"Of course." I answered. "We'll be home soon, before we know it."

Then, I left the bedroom to walk up to the roof to clear my thoughts. The defenders shared their thoughts about missing ponies close to them.

"Do you who I miss? I miss my parents." said Joydan Gallop. "And, I miss Amber Lake."

"I miss Carver Crafty and Needle Stitch." said Ellagant Glare.

"Don't forget Pipp Petals, she amazing." said Joydan.

"I miss Zipp Storm, Soccer Score, and Astro Alex." said Rollette Skate.

"I miss Hitch Trailblazer, Sparky, Fruity Tooty, and Disgusted Lex." said Tangerine Twist.

"Don't forget Misty Brightdawn, Cloudy Carla, and Horseshoe Henry." said Fearful Moe.

"Color Carol, too." said Bronze Feather.

"Izzy Moonbow, and Streamer Smooth." said Bubble Burst.

"I miss Constellation." said Daytime Darwin.

"Let's not forget Sunny Starscout, she's always our guide." said Sharpy Gem.

"I also miss Queen Haven, Alphabittle, and my dad." said Tangerine Twist.

"I miss the Pippsqueaks: Seashell, Glory, and Peach Fizz." said Joydan.

"And Posey Bloom, Daliha, Onyx, Bongo Beats, Fifi, Rocky Riff, and Jazz Hooves." said Fearful Moe.

"Don't forget Violette Rainbow. She may have fur of two colors, but she's amazing." said Ella.

"I'll tell who I don't miss: Sprout Cloverleaf." said Bubble Burst.

"Me either, but when he leaves, you feel bad." said Daytime.

In the alley somewhere in Wonderworld, Caren Coal was hiding from the guards, so she doesn't get caught. She was laying on an old mattress to sleep on.

"It wasn't going as planned for today, but I will get a foal for my queen." Caren said to herself. "That colt seems more powerful than ever. He may be the perfect one for her. I'll find him tomorrow and bring him to the castle."

Back at Brightira and Thrillunt's castle, I was up late, trying to do some more thinking. I was still worried about the vision I had, but I didn't see more signs of when it was true. I still had to do my best to keep my friends safe. Prince Thrillunt came up the roof to check on me.

"Hey kid, are you doing okay?" Thrillunt asked me.

"Yes, your highness." I answered. "Just doing some stuff. I was looking for a way home."

"Sure is hard work. Would you like some juice?"

"Does a pony's smile sparkle?"

He gave me a cup of fruit punch to drink.

"So those two ponies in cloaks at the space store, do you know anything about them?" I asked Thrillunt.

"No I don't kid." said Thrillunt. "The stallion whose in prison is Thorn Chop. He says he was working for a queen outside of the city. And the other one was still in the city somewhere, she may come back soon."

"I see. I hope nothing like that happens again."

"Is there something bothering you?"

"I had a nightmare a couple of nights ago. It was telling me that my friends are gonna be in danger. I just had to do anything I could to protect them. They're not only my friends, they're also my family. And, you never give up on family."

"Well, how do you know when you're ready for when your family needs you?"

I explained to Thrillunt that we should always be ready whenever our families need us. Sometimes being a father is not easy, and the orphans living in the castle have time to be taken care of, but Thrillunt will have time to take care of everything. It doesn't come from your head, it comes your heart, where it matters most.

"Thank you, Special." Thrillunt said. "You're a good kid."

Then, Thrillunt started to go back inside to get some sleep, while I continue to do some research.
> Chapter 15: Never Give up on Family
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Princess Brightira was in her royal bedroom, looking in the mirror, adoring her new beautiful mane style. Prince Thrillunt came in to go to bed.

"Thrillunt honey, I look lovely in my mane, even when I'm pregnant." Brightira said to her husband.

"Yep, you still look lovely, ever since I met you." Thrillunt said.

"So, how are the foals doing?"

"They're all asleep, but Special was still awake doing some stuff on the roof. He was acting worried about his future."

When Brightira heard about me, she decided to see me before she goes to bed.

"Special's worried? Where is he?"

"He's up on the castle roof." Thrillunt answered.

"I'll go see him."

I was looking at the city view, but I was still worried. I feared I wouldn't save my friends. The princess made it upstairs to speak to me.

"Hey Special," she said. "are you feeling okay?"

"Oh, hi princess." I talked back.

"What's with the lone face?"

"I just worried, I guess." I answered. "I feared I would never keep my friends safe or go back home."

"Special, why don't you come sit down with me and we'll talk about our feeling." Brightira told me.

I obeyed the princess and we began to share our feelings.

"So, what's the trouble?" Brightira asked.

"I can't get ready to save my friends and get us home." I answered.

"Why would you think that?"

"I had this nightmare two nights ago, and it's literally coming true. It may mean my friends and I could be in danger at any day. I feared I won't get us safe. But, I never thought we would be stuck in a realm, where every myth is real."

Brightira heard every word I said, and she came up with an answer.

"Special, I understand, but you had to put your past behind you and believe you can do your best and forget the rest. That way you can save your friends. It's what my mom told me when I was your age. Just like we would never be late to get ready to go."

I heard every word from the princess, and I believe she was right. In fact, she was becoming a perfect mother really well.

"Thank you, your highness." I say. "You really are good at being a mother."

"Well, I hope my twins will be the same for you." said Brightira. "But, my magic is still weak, how can I protect Wonderworld now?"

Brightira was worried she would never keep her kingdom safe, I got an idea of what to help her. I reached into my bag and pulled out some things.

"What are you doing?" Brightira asked me.

"These are powered crystals." I explained. "I was saving them for later, but now, they are for you. They will give you more strength, help you fly faster, and make your magic more powerful."

"Are you sure you want to give me more magic?"

"I wanted to help you now, you let me and my friends stay in the castle, and tried to protect us at the store."

Then, I began to activate the crystals. I levitated them with my magic hooves and said the magic words. The crystals began to glow bright and float by themselves. Then, I point the crystals to Brightira. They were whirling around the princess pretty fast, lit up with a bright glow of rainbow energy, and their power lifted her into the air. Brightira's mane undo itself, and it, along with the tail, began to grow a little longer and flow again, too. Then, the crystals went inside her body, and Brightira was feeeling the power of the crystals. The power was making her stronger, wiser, more beautiful, and more powerful. After Brightira was all magical, she slowly lowered back onto the roof. She was now feeling more powerful than ever before.

"My strength, my magic, it's back." Brightira said with glee.

"It suits you, princess." I say.

Brightira was now feeling better that her magic was back and even more powerful. Now, she can protect Wonderworld.

"You really are a great pony." Brightira said to me.

"Well, I'm pretty tired right now." I yawned.

I gave the princess a big hug to say "thank you." Then, we both went back inside to get some sleep.

The next morning, everypony woke up and had breakfast. I began to think about Brightira and Thrillunt, so I started asking Clumsy Bumzy some questions.

"Hey Clumsy, I've been thinking." I say. "Can we see the babies' room?"

Clumsy lead me and my friends to the babies' room. And inside was just actually empty, with no cribs and no other baby stuff.

"There's nothing stored in this room." I say.

"Where will the twins sleep?" Ellagant Glare asked.

"Well unfortunately, the prince and princess didn't have enough time to build a babies' room because they were so busy with their royal duties." Clumsy said.

"But, Brightira has 2 days until her twins are born." said Violet Rosey. "What are they gonna do?"

And then, I got an idea.

"I know." I say." We can make the babies' room for the royal couple."

Everypony agreed to my idea, we all began to get to work.

Trueheart and Scarlet Tomato were painting the walls. Me, Tangerine Twist, and Radish Ryan were building the frames of the cribs, while Fearful Moe brought up mattresses, sheets, blankets, and pillows. Lucky Clover, Tender Love, and Bubble Burst were bringing up some baby toys and put them in the toy box. Clumsy Bumzy, Daytime Darwin, and Present Prize were placing baby bottles and pacifiers on top of the dresser. Sharpy Gem and Lolly Poply were making mobiles for the cribs. Nighttime Nathan and Melody Aria were both making a night light/music box to entertain the babies for when they sleep. And, Ellagant Glare, Pineapple Tidbit, and Lemonlime were hanging curtains on the window. Everything was working perfect, we even sang a song while we work.

After working for 40 minutes, we were all done. We knew the prince and princess would love it. So, Clumsy and Melody went to get them.

Princess Brightira and Prince Thrillunt had just finished eating breakfast, when Clumsy and Melody ran into them.

"Good morning, kids." said Brightira.

How are you doing?" Thrillunt asked.

"Well, we have a big surprise for you both." Melody said.

She and Clumsy covered the eyes of the prince and princess with blindfolds, and lead them down the castle hallways and into the babies' room. When Clumsy and Melody took off the blindfolds, Brightira and Thrillunt were both surprised to see their new babies' room completely built.

"Ta-da!" said Ellagant Glare.

"We were afraid you may not have a room for your twins." Fearful Moe repied.

"So we did our own DIY, and built everything to help you be ready." said Rollette Skate.

"We gave you something back, since you took care of us." I say.

Thrillunt was happy for the help, he thank us.

"Thank you so much, everypony." he said. "I can't believe you all were able to think of everything so fast.

For Brightira, she was so moved by our gesture that she began to cry a little.

"Oh ponies," she said while crying. "I'm so grateful for all of you. This is the sweetest thing you've done for me. Thank you all very much for your kindness and compassion."

Then, we gave the princess a great big hug to show friendship and love for her. Brightira had never been so happy in her life.

After the royal couple was appreciated, Brightira was still overjoyed with the babies' room, so Thrillunt was keeping her company. My thoughts were now on something else. Sunny and the others back home had found a way to come to Wonderworld, but would there be a same way that's written in a different world? So, I began to ask Brightira some questions.

"Princess Brightira, is there a place in Wonderworld that teaches magic?" I asked.

"No." Brightira answered.

"Is there a place that proffers potions?"

"No."

"Is there a place where they sell books about ancient times in this world?"

"Wait, I think I remember. My great-great grandfather had an old book store, where there are lots of ancient books. Maybe that is where you should go."

"Thank you, princess. That is what I need. But, where should I find it?"

"It's at Old Town."

"Great."

Now that I'd got the directions, I hired Ellagant Glare, Tangerine Twist, Sharpy Gem, Gutsy Scott, Brainiac, Radish Ryan, Frosty Flavor, and Lucky Clover to come with me.
> Chapter 16: Just Like Old Wonderful Times
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

At Friendship Headquarters, Sunny and the others were still setting up the waterfall decoration. And now, they were done.

"Alright everypony, let's turn it on." said Sunny.

The waterfall was working well. Now, they can open the vortex, after they open the hatch in the ceiling to let in the sunlight.

For me and my friends, we were walking through the streets of Wonderworld to get to the bookstore in Old Town.

"Well everypony, the bookstore is in Old Town of Wonderworld, and that's where we're going." I say.

"There's a way to get there." said Brainiac. "We can take the swan ride."

Luckily, we were right next to the ride, and it's free. We all got onto the swan like a boat, and rode on it to Old Town. But, what we didn't notice, is that Caren Coal have found us and started to follow us.

Riding on the swan was lots of fun. We can see it had clean water and fake leaf pads floating on the water, it makes it perfect. There were also fish swimming underwater. Then, we were entering a tunnel. And, inside were beautiful lights, a scenery for a swamp, and some disco balls hanging on the ceiling. It sure looks like fun. After riding for 10 minutes, we made to Old Town. We got off the swan, when we boarded the dock. Then, we began to look for the bookstore, which was actually near the dock. It was like 75 years old. It was like closed for now, but the doors were not locked, so we sneaked inside to look for a perfect book.

We all split up to look a different sections. We looked in both the 1st and 2nd floors, but we have no luck. Until, Gutsy Scott have found something.

"I got something, lads." Gutsy shouted.

"Great work, Gutsy." I say. "What did you find?"

Gutsy pulled out a book titled: "Magical Crystals of Equestria."

"Now, that's a book I want to read." said Sharpy Gem.

The book was written by Starswirl the Bearded in this world only, not the one from our world. He wrote the book to tell ponies how magical crystals work. I believed it might be the way to help us. i looked at the contents and found where to look. I turned the pages further to where we should read. It said something about portal crystals. Two types of crystals are and red. The blue crystals lets ponies travel to different worlds. Mix of sunlight from the crystal let's them travel clockwise. But, a mix of moonlight from the crystal let's them travel counter-clockwise. But for the red crystals, they trapped ponies into limbo.

"I can't believe Starswirl discovered this." I say.

"Special, you should be lucky, I brought these same blue crystals with me all along." Sharpy told me.

"You sly-dog." I say.

"And more good news, the moonlight we can get comes tonight and tomorrow." said Radish Ryan.

Caren Coal was following us the whole time by tracing our steps. Until then, she'd made it to the bookstore and started looking for us.

I read the rest of the book and learned that the portal will open on a waterfall, when lights pointed at it.

"Alright everypony, we got what we need." I say. "All that remains now, is to return to the same waterfall we saw days ago, and open the portal tonight."

"And we can go home?" Frosty Flavor asked.

"And we can go home." I answered repeatedly.

Unfortunately before we could leave, Caren had already found us.

"Oh, you're going home alright." Caren said. "To a place my queen called the Frownedere Castle."

We'd recognize her since we met her at the space store.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Tangerine Twist asked.

"I'm Caren Coal. And, it's not what I want, it's something my queen want. She wants one foal for her help. She's a descendant of Wonderworld's enemy: Queen Frowny."

She'd show us her badge, which was Queen Frowny's symbol from my nightmare, another sign to my friends in danger. It was Frowny's relative who was the one in my vision.

"Everypony run!" I ordered my friends.

We'd found a door at the back of the bookstore, we trying to open it, but it was shut tight. Caren was getting closer, she started charging her magic to catch us. While my friends were pushing the door open, I was covering for them. Caren blasted her magic right towards us, but I used my magic to bounce her magic back at her. And, the hit made her crash to a bookshelf. The door was finally opened up for us to escape.

We found a hatch to a pipe, which was big enough for all of us. But I, on the other hoof, had something else I believe I should do.

"Brainiac," I said talking out the instructions." Take the instructions, follow them, open the portal, and get everypony home tonight. It has to be tonight."

"Me? Open the portal?" Brainiac asked. "No, I'm not ready."

"You will be."

Caren was closing in, she busted the door opened. Once my friends go into the pipe, I closed the hatch behind them and gave them my last request.

"Go." I ordered. "And no matter what happens, do not come back for me."

I was sacrificing myself to get captured, to keep my friends safe.

"What are you waiting for? Take me instead." I told Caren.

"Come to mama." Caren said.

Then, Caren used her magic to capture me. My friends were watching before they continue escaping out of the bookstore.

"SPECIAL, NO!!!" Ellagant Glare cried.

"Come on, lass. Do as Special said." Gutsy Scott told her tearfully.

Caren hooked me in chains and hoofcubs, even on my wings to prevent me from flying.

"Finally, I got a foal for my queen." Caren said herself. "Time to go back."

Then, she carried me to take me to Queen Eschew at her castle outside of Wonderworld.

For my friends, they made it to the other side of the pipe and fell into the river. They climbed out, and dried off the water. They were worried and scared for me being captured and not seen again.

"What's gonna happen now?" Lucky Clover asked.

"What do we do without Special?" Frosty Flavor asked.

"Special asked us to open the portal and head home. And, that's exactly what we're gonna do." Tangerine Twist said."

"Come on, we don't have much time." Gutsy Scott told them.

"We can't ride the swans again, it'll be too slow for us." said Sharpy Gem.

"Then, let's take a train." Brainiac said.

They all made it to the train station and rode a train to go back to Princess Brightira's castle.

Back at Friendship HQ, Sunny and the others were ready to open the portal. Cloudy Carla opened the hatch on the roof to let in some sunlight.

"Okay everypony." Sunny said. "We get only one shot at this."

Izzy Moonbow and Misty Brightdawn were aiming the blue crystal at the waterfall decoration. The light form the sun bounced off the crystal and pointed at the waterfall. Finally, the portal opened up. Now, Sunny and her friends can go find us, while the remaining defenders stay behind.
> Chapter 17: Friendly Reunion
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Caren Coal took me to Frownedere Castle, where I met Queen Eschew at the throne room.

"Well, well, well, welcome to the castle of gloom." the queen greeted to me. "I'm Queen Eschew, and I'm happy to have you here. May I ask who you are?"

"I'm Special Hoof form Maretime Bay." I responded.

"Maretime Bay?" Eschew asked shockingly. "Well, why are you at Wonderworld?"

"I was sucked into a vortex leading to this world." I answered. "The best question is: what do you want with me?"

"Well, you come to have a little fun with me. Years ago, Queen Frowny had lost her magic and wings after an attack, and then got banished. For now on, I need a foal like you to make me powerful to conquer Wonderworld and get rid of Princess Brightira for good."

"I can't believe this." I grumbled. "You sent a unicorn and an earth pony to capture a foal for you, and then the unicorn had defeated the pregnant princess, even when she had false contractions?!"

"Kid, I am sorry." Caren said. "But, is she all better?"

Yes, but hurting a pregnant mare is all too cruel."

"Well, next time I see her, I'll banish her and Thrillunt into my dungeon." said Queen Eschew. "Then, I'll have the city all to myself and get rid of the fun and happiness for good."

Then, she began to do her evil laugh as effects of lightning and thunder appeared in the background.

"Whatever you say." I say.

"Now, come along, kid. We got some harvesting to do." said Queen Eschew.

Caren was yanking me to move on. I was worried, I saw the same symbols from my nightmare on tapestries. I couldn't believe my I found my second sign of my friends getting into trouble. I was hoping they head home soon.

Back at Thrillunt and Brightira's castle, everypony was waiting for me and the others to come back.

"It's getting dark soon." said Daytime Darwin.

"I'm sure they'll come back." Bubble Burst told him.

Scarlet Tomato was looking out the window, when she saw somepony. She looked through her binoculars and she found the others entering the castle, running in panic. Everypony greeted them back, when they brought back a way to get home. But, before they were about to tell them the bad news, Prince Thrillunt and Princess Brightira appeared and started to tell the defenders something great.

"Defenders of Friendship," Princess Brightira said. "I have something to tell you. You were all very special and helpful, when you've come here. You've made a perfect breakfast, stopped the imposter, and made us a babies' room. For all of your good deeds, I decided to throw a parade for you and give you an award to say "thank you."

Everypony was feeling appreciated for the princess and prince to what they said.

After Brightira had finish her speech, Sharpy Gem was about to tell them the bad news.

"A parade is great, your highness." Sharpy Gem said. "But, I got bad news to tell everypony."

Before she could finish, there was someone knocking on the door. Clumsy ran to the door to check, before he tripped over and fell. He opened the door to see who it was, and listened to what the guests told him. He understood and turned his head towards the defenders.

"Defenders, somepony's here to see you." he said.

The defenders were wondering who wants to see them. Clumsy opened the door for the guests. And much to the defenders' surprise and joy, it was the Mane 6: Sunny Starscout, Izzy Moonbow, Hitch Trailblazer, Pipp Petals, Zipp Storm, Misty Brightdawn, and Sparky.

"IT'S SUNNY STARSCOUT AND THE OTHERS!!!" Ellagant Glare shouted.

"THERE THEY ARE!!!" Izzy shouted.

"WE FOUND YOU!!!" said Pipp.

They ran towards each other and gave each other hugs for reunion. Pipp was hugging Ellagant Glare tightly; she was so happy to see favorite, beautiful unicorn friend again.

"Ellagant Glare, I've missed you so much." Pipp said.

"I've missed you too, Pipp." said Ella.

Hitch was overjoyed to see Tangerine Twist, and so was Sparky.

"Tangerine, I knew you're still alive." said Hitch.

"Of course I'm alive, and so is everypony else." said Tangerine.

"I miss you, my favorite juice boy." said Sparky.

Izzy Moonbow was hugging Frosty Flavor and Joydan Gallop.

"You two are still amazing as ever." Izzy said.

"Thank you, Izzy." said Joydan.

Misty Brightdawn was hugging Sharpy Gem and Fearful Moe.

"I knew we would find you defenders." Misty said.

Zipp Storm was hugging Rollette Skate.

"Rollette, my little stunt skater, you are always a tough filly." Zipp said.

And, Sunny Starscout was hugging Bronze Feather and Violet Rosey.

"Oh ponies, it's great to see you all in one piece." Sunny said.

Brightira and Thrillunt stepped up to speak with the Mane 6.

"Excuse me." Brightira said, getting their attention. "Are you the ponies from Maretime Bay?"

"Yes we are." Sunny replied. "And, who are you two?"

"I'm Princess Brightira, ruler of Wonderworld."

"And, I'm her husband, Prince Thrillunt." the prince added. "Special told us about you."

"We let the defenders stay in the castle for a few days. They'd been helpful to us, even by giving us a new babies' room for our upcoming twins."

"We're planning a parade for them, and give them an award to express our appreciation." Thrillunt added. "And, since you're all here, you're invited."

"A ceremony?" Hitch asked. "I can't wait."

"You defenders are always kind at doing good deeds for everypony. Even from here." said Zipp.

"Well everpony," Sunny said. "It's great to see you all again. Do we have them all?"

Zipp flew up to check if all of us were together, but she could see one of us missing. And, that one was me.

"Uh Sunny..." Zipp said. "Not everyone's here. Special's missing."

Sunny noticed Zipp was right, she didn't see me around.

"Um ponies, have any of you seen Special?" Sunny asked.

As she heard the question, Sharpy Gem finally had the chance to tell everypony the bad news.

"That's exactly what I've been trying to tell earlier. SPECIAL HOOF HAS BEEN CAPTURED!!!"

Everypony gasped in shock to hear that.

"Captured?!? That's horrible." said Misty.

"But, who'd capture Special?" Pipp asked.

"An evil unicorn named Caren Coal." Frosty Flavor answered.

"She was working for an evil queen." Tangerine Twist added.

"And, where did she took him?" Hitch asked.

"They've took him to some place called Frownedere castle outside of Wonderworld." said Lucky CLover.

"Wait." said Princess Brightira. "Frownedere Castle? That's Queen Frowny's castle."

"Queen Frowny?" Zipp asked. "That evil pony who conquered Wonderworld countless times?"

"Indeed." Brightira answered.

"The current evil queen must be Frowny's descendant." said Thrillunt. "And, must be trying to conquer the city soon."

"Special's in danger!" Izzy cried.

"We got to go save him, fast!" said Sunny.

"No, we can't." said Sharpy Gem.

"Special was trying to protect us." said Radish Ryan. "He told us not to go after him."

"We can't break his promise." Gutsy Scott added.

After hearing the request, the Mane 6 gave them an advice.

"Ponies, we never promise Special anything." said Sunny. "You're all good at rescuing and solving problems."

"You need to remember: you're the Great Defenders Of Friendship." said Pipp. "Ever since your first quest with us, you became brilliant heroes of Equestria."

"Twilight Sparkle chose all of you to keep our homeland balanced." said Izzy. "And, you made it happened."

"Special's your rightful leader. He would never be lost in his heart." said Hitch.

"He's more than your friend, he's your family." said Zipp. "Never leave a pony behind."

"Even I didn't went on your first quest, I believe in you the whole time." said Misty. "We are all in this together. It's time for you ponies to do the same for him."

Everypony knew I had to continue my destiny back home. So, they changed theirs minds and agree to rescue me.

"I'm in." said Ellagant Glare.

"Me too." Joydan Gallop added.

"Let's do this." said Bubble Burst.

The orphan's stepped up and volunteered to help.

"We're in." Clumsy Bumzy.

"It's our turn to help you, defenders." said Scarlet Tomato.

"This will be epic." said Tender Love.

Gutsy Scott didn't want to break promises, but he agreed to help.

"Aye lad, me too." he said. "Nopony left behind. Not Special, not us."

"The Great Defenders of Friendship are on their way!" said Tangerine Twist.

"We'll play our part, hoof to heart!" said Fearful Moe.

"We're better than one friend, and we're here to defend!" said Violet Rosey.

"ALL FOR ONE, AND ONE FOR ALL!!!" everpony shouted.
> Chapter 18: Battle of the Frownedere Castle
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

At Frownedere Castle, I was still chained up as prisoner.

"You ready for the big time?" said Queen Eschew.

Caren Coal took out pair of scissors and cut off a little bit of my mane. Then, she pricked a feather from one of my wings. Eschew placed them into her magic cauldron, mixed it up, and it was done. She drank the potion, and then she sprouted wings on her back. She had transformed into an alicorn.

"Oh look at me." said Queen Eschew. "Your mane and feather made me more powerful and gave me wings. Just imagine what I'll be able to harvest from the rest of the foals around Wonderworld."

She then told Caren to remove the big sheet, and underneath was a big, evil contraption called the Magic Collector. When I looked at it, there were cages hanging up, and scissors, knives, and needle shots, the other signs from my nightmare.

"I'll steam the magic from their sweat." said Eschew. "I'll tug it from their tears; I'll cut it from their manes; I'll prick it from their feathers; I'll drain it from their blood."

"You're a fool, Queeny." I say. "You many have the foals living in the city, but my friends are well on their way home by now."

"Oh, I don't think so."

The defenders, the orphans, and the Mane 6 were marching towards the Frownedere Castle to save me. They were all bringing some weapons they need for battle. They were also bringing some cubes of weapons, they help the fighter to select the right weapon. Everypony had reached the castle, they began to crawl slowly and silently to go near without making any sudden sounds.

"We all remember the plan, right?" Ellagant asked everypony.

"Yes we do." Izzy answered.

"Let's get our hooves on." Grouchy Storm added.

Ellagant's phone began to vibrate instead of ringing, so nopony could hear. It was Brainiac calling her, he was trying to turn on the communication computer, so he would call the remaining defenders from Maretime Bay.

"Brainiac, what's happening." Ella asked.

"I pressed the buttons in order, but it's more powerful than I thought. I don't think I can do it." Brainiac answered.

"Kid, you can this." Zipp told him. "Just finish it up."

After Brainiac followed the last part of the buttons, he pressed the "send" button, and he finally began to call.

Back at Friendship HQ, the remaining defenders were waiting for the Mane 6 to return with the others when suddenly, the screen began to ring.

"Another call?" Needle Stitch asked.

"I got this." said Cloudy Carla.

Cloudy picked up the call, and it was Brainiac calling them.

"Hello friends." Brainiac said. "I'm Brainiac from Wonderworld. And, we need your help."

"Help?" Cloudy asked. "What's the emergency?"

Caren Coal chained me onto the Magic Collector to be ready to steal more of my magic.

"Now, I don't want you to worry." Queen Eschew was telling me. "Whatever doesn't hurt you, only makes me stronger."

Before she was about to turn on the machine....

"YO!!" said a colt outside. "QUEENY, YOU BETTER NOT BE HIDING IN YOUR CASTLE, COME OUT TO PLAY!!!"

The voice belongs to Grouchy Storm. As I heard him, I feared my friends are really here, they could get themselves captured. I tried to free myself out of the chains, but I couldn't.

"Ooh. It sounds like there's another foal is here." said Eschew. "I'll go get him. Caren you get the machine going."

Eschew went out to get my friends, while Caren stayed to harvest my magic.

"Alright kid, enjoy the ride." Caren told me. "And, remember, keep your head and hooves inside the car at all times."

The machine turned on and my magic began to drain out of me.

Eschew went out front of her castle to see if she could find the kid, who yelled at her.

"Here I am, kid." she called out. "Please come out. I'm not gonna hurt you."

Then, Grouchy Storm came out of hiding behind the stone wall.

"Hello Queen." he yelled. "We know you're about to attack Wonderworld soon."

"And we cannot let you do at all." said Scarlet Tomato when she came out of hiding.

"By order of Princess Brightira, this must stop, now." said Lucky Clover.

"And you have our friend!" said Daytime Darwin. "Prepare to get hoofed."

"Yeah, what he said." said Frosty Flavor.

"Adorable." Eschew said to herself. "5 little ponies have come to save their friend."

"Hey Queeny, make that 6 little ponies." said Brainiac when he came out.

Then, he used his magic to launch a firework into the sky.

"And of course, I brought lots of backup from far away."

Eschew looked around and there were lots more of foals everywhere; all the defenders of friendship and all the orphans of Wonderworld. They brought weapons and other stuff from from both Friendship HQ and Wonderworld.

"My, my, my." Eschew said to herself. "Looks like I hit the jackpot."

Sparky the dragon blew the horn to start the battle. Then, all the foals started throwing and catapulting sharp weapons at Eschew. The foals were battling really well. Grouchy Storm through a spear at Eschew's shoulder.

Present Prize threw an egg on Eschew's head, making a joke that the egg was a baby chick.

Gutsy Scott was carrying a bag a bowling balls from Sports Stadium to drop onto Eschew.

"Disgusting Foals." Eschew grumbled.

Carver Crafty and Hefty Haman were carrying a wooden ball covered with sharp needles.

"You know, one bad apple could ruin your whole day." said Carver Crafty.

They used Pineapple Tidbit and Lemonlime's combined tails as a slingshot, and launched it at Eschew's hip.

Streamer Smooth and Trueheart dumped cylinder blocks on the floor, as Brainiac put a dart in his toy cannon.

"Hey Queeny, here's a little desk toy from the big apple." Brainiac said.

Then, he launched the dart at Eschew's bottom, causing her to step on the blocks that made her loosing her balance. Radish Ryan and Nighttime Nathan pushed down a pan, but they accidentally got Disgusted Lex tied up as she slipped. Then, the pan hit Eschew in the face.

Meanwhile, Misty Brightdawn was helping Bubble Burst and Amber Lake to sneak into the castle. She'd found a sewers plate, figuring it could be the way in. She used her magic to open the sewer plate for Bubble and Amber to enter.
> Chapter 19: One Last Wonder
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was still stuck to the magic stealing contraption, it was steaming me too hot to collect my magic. Bubble and Amber made it to the basement and they gasped in fear, when they saw me being tortured.

"SPECIAL?!?" Amber shouted in horror.

"Guys, no." I say as I saw my friends in the castle.

"What's happening to you?" Bubble asked in fear.

"You shouldn't have come back for me." I told them.

"We're not leaving without you." said Bubble.

"And, we're getting you out of there right now." said Amber.

But, before they could free me, Caren Coal attacked them, they had no choice but to face Caren before they can free me.

Back outside the castle, the foals knocked Queen Eschew to the ground. That gave them the chance to tie her up with rope.

"Now is our chance!" shouted Horseshoe Henry.

"CHARGE!!!" shouted Hefty Haman.

"Tie up the queen!" yelled Constellation.

"Let's go!" shouted Brainiac.

Gutsy Scott arrived in time to drop the bowling balls on Eschew.

"Bombs away, lads and lasses." Gutsy said. "I'm going for strikes."

He dropped the balls, but Eschew blasted at them with her magic. Then, she bursts to stop the foals from capturing her.

Caren was chasing Amber, but Amber stopped her by knocking down a cup filled with sharp pins to stab her hooves. Bubble  picked up a shovel and smack Caren with it. That smacking also broke Caren's horn. Amber used her earth pony magic to trap Caren in vines, and Bubble Burst made a magic proof bubble and placed it on Caren's broken horn so she couldn't hurt them. Then, Amber destroyed the machine, freed me, and all three of us began to leave the castle and help the others win the battle.

Back outside, Queen Eschew became angry with the foals hurting her.

"That is enough playtime, foals!" Eschew grumbled. "Behold, the ultimate power of me!!!"

She blasted her magic into the sky and created a cyclone, causing all the foals to spin in circles in the air. Eschew got her cages out to imprison the foals. She first captured Brainiac and locked him up. Next, she captured Daytime Darwin, who was holding on to Hitch Trailblazer. Next, she captured Cloudy Carla, who was keeping her balance flying in the cyclone. Then, Eschew kept on capturing more foals: Tender Love, Powder Neutron, Soccer Score, Radish Ryan, Horseshoe Henry, Needle Stitch, Frosty Flavor, Violet Rosey, Pineapple Tidbit, Lemonlime, Lolly Poply, Iron Magnet, Tangerine Twist, Color Carol, and Grouchy Storm.

Me, Amber, and Bubble exited the castle, when we saw our friends getting captured. I caught a spear and started to stop Eschew, but she caught me with her magic.

"Nice try, kid." Eschew said to me. "I don't need you any more. It's time to break their little wills."

Eschew was about to kill me as she'd turn to my friends.

"Are you watching closely?" she asked as she pointed me to them.

Everypony was in fear as they saw me in trouble.

"Your beloved little friend is about to his little green end."

Then, she threw me up into the air and began to charge up her magic. Sunny Starscout saw me about to get killed, so she turned herself into an alicorn, flew up to catch me as fast as possible. Eschew bursts her magic upward to me, but Sunny saved me on time. Eschew was angry for missing, she began to shoot again, but then, Sunny blocked it with her magic shield.

"Leave him alone!" Sunny yelled.

Then, Misty Brightdawn zapped Eschew with her magic. Zipp Storm was flying in circles around Eschew, making her dizzy. And, Hitch Trailblazer freed the caged foals.

Then, after everypony was all freed and ready, Eschew was completely surrounded. But, she still may conquer Wonderworld soon again, so I came up with plan.

"Sharpy Gem." I shouted. "Do you have the crystals in a shade of red?"

"No I don't." Sharpy said. "I only have blue ones."

"I have the red crystals." Izzy Moonbow responded. "Why is that?"

"I have a plan to defeat the queen. There's a waterfall on the castle wall. Make a portal to trap her. I'll by you some time."

I stepped up in front of Eschew, while Sharpy and Izzy were waiting for my signal.

"I'm back." I told Eschew. Ready for a second round?"

"You are always tough, when we met." said Eschew.

"You may be all powerful now, but with the help from my friends, I can still get up."

"Well, you would've went with your friends to be home, when you had the chance."

Then, she draw out her own sword to start the fight between her and me. Bronze Feather threw me one of his sharp feathers, and I used it as a sword to start the dual.

Sharpy Gem and Izzy Moonbow were waiting for me to give the signal to open the portal. I was fighting Eschew as I was blocking her strikes. But then, she threw my sword off my hoof. She was going to blast her magic at me again, until....

"Special, use this!" Gutsy Scott shouted.

Gutsy threw me his very own shield, so I could cover myself from Eschew's magic blast. Then, I use the shield to fight her. Radish Ryan was gonna throw me back my sword, I asked him to also throw me a flashlight. I jumped as Radish threw me both the sword and the flashlight. As I caught them, I turned on the flashlight and pointed the light at Eschew's eyes, making her blind. Then, I kicked her in the face. I gave Izzy and Sharpy my siganl to open the portal. I continue to fight Eschew, while Izzy and Sharpy pointed the crystal at the waterfall. Moonlight aimed at the crystal and bounced off and hit the waterfall. I was able to hold Eschew as long as I need, when red portal was opening.

"What are you?" Eschew asked me.

"I am the Special." I answered.

Then, I pushed Eschew as hard as a rock into the portal, banishing her into limbo. With Queen Eschew defeated, Wonderworld was saved.

Izzy and Sharpy closed the portal. All the foals gathered me and lifted me up into the air to congratulate me for winning the fight.

"The battle of Wonderworld." said Gutsy Scott.

"Everypony, thank you very much for coming back." I told all my friends. "I forgot we would still save the day, I lost site of everything else. And, I'm so happy we're all together again."

"Me too." said Sunny Starscout. "We knew you weren't dead all along. We would never forget about you."

"That's sweet. I definitely owe you an apology. I believed more in a nightmare than I did in all of you."

Then, Princess Brightira and Prince Thrillunt have arrive to congratulate us.

"Hello, everypony." said Brightira. "You have defeated the evil queen and saved my city."

"You also caught the evil unicorn, too." said Thrillunt.

The palace guards were taking Caren Coal to the dungeon at the castle, as they chained her up.

"It was worth it." I say.

"And, to celebrate our victory, I'm throwing a big parade." Brightira announced. "And, I'm giving the defenders an award for expressing their hearts to me."

Everypony cheered to hear the news We all did a great beating Eschew after all. And most importantly, God helped us during the battle. He told me he would change bad into good, and he was right. I was proud everything turned out just fine.
> Chapter 20: Going Home
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, everypony around Wonderworld were gathered round for the victory parade. There were parade floats for me, my friends, and the royal couple, a marching band, and parade balloons. Sunny, her friends, and the orphans were there to support us. Princess Brightira was still pregnant with her twins, but she had one day left until she gives birth.

The parade has finally started as the marching band began to play music and march. There were also some ponies marching, while carrying flags of Wonderworld. Next was the parade balloons. Two balloons were Brightira and Thrillunt, while the rest were fair rides and themes of the kingdom. And last, were the parade floats. Brightira and Thrillunt's float was like thrones like for a prince and a princess. And, the last float was for me and the rest of the defenders. We all began to wave to all the citizens of Wonderworld. And best of all, there was confetti in the parade.

Once the parade floats parked at the stage, the prince and princess and me and the defenders stepped up. Then, Thrillunt and Brightira began to give everypony their speech.

"Hello everypony." Brightira said. "We are gathered here today to give some special guest heroes."

"When they first came to Wonderworld, they'd gave me and my wife a new room for our upcoming twins, and showed us some unique compassion." said Thrillunt.

"Best of all, they've saved our city from an evil pony, who was a descendant of Queen Frowny. They were magnificent heroes, our city is freed once again."

"It is our great honor to present the Key to the City to the Great Defenders of Friendship."

Me and my friends stepped forward, and Brightira hugged me before handing me the key. Everypony cheered loudly as I was holding the key high up.

After Brightira and Thrillunt gave me and my friends the key to the city, I stepped up, grabbed a microphone, and began to do my speech.

"Thank you very much for this honor, everypony." I say. "The city of Wonderworld sure is the best place to visit. I would like to thank my friends for being perfect helpers, staying by my side the whole time. I would also like to thank the orphans too. They've been perfect helpers around the city. And, Sunny Starscout and her friends as well, they'd helped us win the battle. But most of all, I would importantly thank God. He gave us all the strength we needed. He told me whenever bad things had happened, he would change it into good. I had forgotten my friends would really handle any hard problems, I wouldn't be rescued, if didn't leave. Now, that we have saved the day, I hear by to say, me, my friends will always look after Wonderworld. Just remember to play your part, hoof to heart."

Everypony cheered after I finished my speech. Then, Princess Brightira stepped up to say a few more words.

"Thank you for your speech, Special." Brightira said. "And now everypony, may I present the big colors to the sky."

Then, Princess Brightira was standing in the middle of the stage. Next, she activated her magic in her horn and started to fly upward a little slowly. And last of all, Brightira stopped going up and blasted her magic to the sky, filling it with lots of colors, and started snowing stars. In fact, since her magic became so powerful by the crystals I gave her, she gave the whole city all the help she needed to give.

Right after Princess Brightira finished her performance, I thought of something as started talking with the prince and princess.

"Your highness, I have something to tell you." I say. "I was thinking about the orphans."

"What about them?" Thrillunt asked.

"They'd been great helpers round trip; showing us around Wonderworld, entertaining us with all the fun, and helping us win the battle. I decided they would come with me and my friends back to Maretime Bay, become helpers there, and even help them find families of their own."

"Letting them go with you?" Brightira asked.

"Of course. It'll be for you both to take care of your twins."

Thrillunt and Brightira were thinking it over, and they agreed let me have all the orphans.

I gave the orphans the news, and they were excited about it. So, they rushed to the castle and packed up everything they need to move to their new home.

After the ceremony was over, night fell. We all walked into the forest and found the waterfall we saw earlier. Once we'd reach the falls, Izzy took out the blue crystal and aimed it at the waterfall.

"Alright everypony, our doorway will open in any second." I told everypony.

The light from the moon touched the crystal, the blue light aimed at the waterfall, and the portal began to open. Now me, my friends, the orphans, and the Mane 6 go home.

Brightira and Thrillunt were there too, they were gonna say their "good-byes" to us, before we go through the portal.

"Goodbye, everypony." said Brightira. "Have a safe trip home."

The foals said a few words before they went into the portal.

"Your highness, the city was really awesome. The lights, the skyscrapers, I even loved the snow tubing event." said Fearful Moe. "I won't ever forget Bye-bye."

And then, Fearful went through the portal.

"I have to say, the cookbooks I found a the Village of Meals and Sugar Rush, I love them. I can't wait to make the food from Wonderworld. Bye now."

"This fruit basket at Country Dessert looks so beautiful." said Tangerine Twist. "And I even filled it up with apples. Thank you so much."

"You know, I'm not long for "good-byes," but I did hoofed together a few words I would like to say: Good-bye til next time!" said Brainiac.

"I would definitely love a new home in Maretime Bay and everything else there. I've never been to other places outside of Wonderworld before." said Tender Love.

"I'm a little nervous to see my new family, but I know I would have friends taking care of me." said Trueheart. "I won't ever forget everything about Wonderworld."

"I've never been so happy in all my life at Wonderworld." said Joydan Gallop. "My new giant stuffed giraffe is so soft. I could use it for bedtime."

"I really am surprised for my new home at Maretime Bay." said Present Prize. "I would absolutely hand out my presents to my new friends."

"These roller skates, they are so awesome." said Rollette Skate. "They'll go perfect for my skating collection."

"You know what? I hate visiting places, but I also hate being stuck here my whole life." said Grouchy Storm. "Don;t get me wrong, I still hate visiting; just less."

"I'm so lucky to come to a new home with my friends." said Lucky Clover. "Thanks to Special, we all became lucky today."

"Your highness, the city sure was cool. My favorite part was the Crystal Caverns, I got a portrait of it. Thank you so much." said Sharpy Gem.

"Never worry about a thing." said Bumble Berry." I will take good care of my bees, they'll make honey for us. Just don't get too bzzy."

"I sure am gonna miss Wonderworld, but I'm so excited to move to a new home." said Lolly Poply. "And, I'm soon gonna share my lollipops and other sweets."

"This epic adventure sure was fun." said Bronze Feather. "Thank you for such a good time."

"I can't wait to meet some of the music stars at the other dimension." said Melody Aria. "I wonder if they're amazing just like me."

"The Aqua Reef sure was fun with water, all the water parks and aquariums were so fun in oceans, beaches, rivers, lakes, and ponds." said Bubble Burst.

"I would like to hang out with my new friends, as long as I could stay awake." Nighttime Nathan yawned.

"Thank you for letting me take all the video games." said Iron Magnet. "I can't wait to play them with my friends."

"I'm so ready to teach everypony my fun experiments." said Powder Neutron. "No mistakes, no witnesses."

"I sure hope your days will be more sunnier now that you have your new babies' room." said Daytime Darwin.

"I'm so pumped up to go to a new home." said Hefty Haman. "Perfect size, excellent definition."

"Your highness, I'll miss you. But, I'm sure we'll all happy with our new life in Maretime Bay." said Scarlet Tomato.

"I'll miss you, too." said Radish Ryan. "I know you'll keep Wonderworld jolly and happy."

"We are very happy to have a better place to have fun." said Pineapple Tidbit.

"And we couldn't wait to see what would happen next once we travel." Lemonlime said.

"Cause we can spend more friendly time together." they both said together at the same time as twins.

"I will not soon forget this place, especially not with my souvenirs." said Gutsy Scott.

As the rest of the defenders were going into the portal, Ellagant Glare and Brightira began to say their final girl chat.

"Ellagant, I sure am gonna miss you, girlfriend." said Brightira.

"Yeah. I have plenty of girlfriends, but Special is my only boyfriend." said Ellagant. "I won't forget you, princess."

Then, they gave each other one last hug. Clumsy Bumzy took a turn to the princess.

"Hey there, little hero." Brightira said.

"Oh, stop." Clumsy said while blushing. "Well, actually, you say it one more time? Cause it has a nice ring to it." he whispered.

Then, Brightira gave Clumsy a kiss in the cheek. Finally, it was my turn to say my last words to the prince and princess, before I leave.

"Well, Thrillunt and Brightira, that's everypony." I say. "And I have to say: thank you for letting us stay at your castle, cheering us up with the entertainment, and the the parade and Key to the City."

"And thank you for making breakfast, taking care of my wife, making the babies' room, and saving the city." said Thrillunt.

"We'll also make sure Caren and Thorn never escape from our dungeons." said Brightira.

"Great." I say. "Well, I've better get going; I got lots of responsibilities back home. Your city is giving me lots of ideas for events, parties, and other things."

Then, I gave them both a farewell hug.

"Goodbye, son." Thrillunt said.

"Goodbye, father." I teased.

Then, I approached Sunny Starscout near the portal.

"Let's go home." I told Sunny.

We both looked at the royal couple one last time and went into the portal, right before it closes behind us.

Thrillunt and Brightira were walking back to their castle after they give me and my friends their farewells.

"It sure was a perfect day today." said Thrillunt. "Taking care of the orphans wasn't hard or bad, but I'm happy they go to their home with their friends."

"Me too." said Brightira. " That also makes it easy for us to raise our family without mare hard tasks. We can also build a big shelter for more orphans. And, they must have respectful caretakers to care for them the right way."

"Agreed." said Thrillunt. "Oh Brightira, I so love you."

Then, they both gave each other a romantic kiss as husband and wife under the full moon and shooting stars before they went back home.

A few days later back at Friendship HQ at Maretime Bay, everypony was happy to be back home. The orphans were adopted by some parents, even some parents, who were also parents of the defenders. With a little help from Pipp Petals, she live streamed around Equestria and parents visited HQ to adopt a foal for free. And the orphans were also the new members of the Great Defenders of Friendship. In fact, the orphans are gonna have perfect futures for themselves; I feel so proud.

For me, I was in my room typing some notes on my computer about our unlikely adventure in Wonderworld. I was so happy that the nightmare was all over. My friends were saved and no longer going to be trouble. God told me that he would after me and my friends, and he was right, he protected us, even during the battle.

After I finished typing my notes, I'd got a phone call from the computer. As I answered, it was Prince Thrillunt and Princess Brightira calling me from the communicating computer on their castle roof.

"Prince Thrillunt. Princess Brightira. What a surprise call." I say.

"Hi, Special." said Thrillunt.

"Hello, Special. How's everything?" Brightira asked.

"It's all going great. We're all happy to be back home with our families and friends. And, all the orphans got adopted to their new familes, just like they wanted. And, I even made them new members of our heroic team."

"That's really good." said Brightira.

"So how are you?" I asked. "Are your twins born?"

"Yes they are." she answered.

Brightira and Thrillunt showed me their newborn twins. It was alicorn fillies. The first twin was named Twinkle Belle. Her fur was pinkish white, and her mane was purple. And the second twin was named Sparkle Smile. Her fur was light purple, and her mane was blue and dark purple streaks.

AW, they are so cute." I said when I looked at the twins. "Congratulations."

"Thank you, Special." Brightira said. "And, I'm so happy the orphans got families."

"They finally got themselves a bright future ahead of them." said Thrillunt.

"I couldn't agree more." I replied. "Thanks again for everything."

Then, I ended the call.

Now, let's go and see the foals who were orphans. Clumsy Bumzy was adopted by two earth ponies. One time he tripped over something and dropped plates of food. But luckily, landed on a dining room table and they didn't break, and not even a drop of food. His new parents didn't mind, as they laughed at him for his big trip, and Clumsy joined in.

Trueheart was adopted by two pegasi parents both timid and soft-spoken just like her. They were showing her her father's collection of clouds, and her mother's collection of bracelets.

Brainiac was adopted by two intelligent unicorn parents: a father who was a professor at college, and a mother who was a librarian.

Gutsy Scott was adopted by pegasus family. His new father was a royal castle guard at Zephyr Heights.

Lolly Poply was adopted by Frosty Flavor's parents She and Frosty love sweets together, they would make old and new desserts for everypony.

Iron Magnet was adopted by Joydan Gallop's parents. He and Joydan both enjoyed playing games together. They even played the Rock Band game they played earlier.

Grouchy Storm was adopted by Cloudy Carla's parents. He and Cloudy loved the weather, but he must learn to calm down and be liked to everypony.

Tender Love was adopted by Streamer Smooth's parents. She and Streamer both shared the things they loved together.

Radish Ryan was adopted by Horseshoe Henry's parents. They both like to make pictures and fold paper together.

Scarlet Tomato was adopted by Sharpy Gem's parents. They both like to make things out of gem and crystals.

Nighttime Nathan was adopted by earth pony parents, who loved the night just like he does.

Bumble Berry was adopted by a family of beekeeping earth ponies. Even his bee friends were happy to meet some new bee friends.

Pineapple Tidbit and Lemonlime were both adopted by Tangerine Twist's parents, and they'd love the farm. They were getting along really well, they even worked together to harvest fruit for Maretime Bay.

Present Prize was adopted by earth pony parents, who were both comedians.

Lucky Clover was adopted by unicorn parents, who were both Irish like he is.

Powder Neutron was adopted by Bubble Burst's parents. She and Bubble love to science together.

Sapphire Serum was adopted by a pegasus parents, who were both doctors. Her new father was an anesthesiologist, and her mother an original doctor working at her own doctor's office.

Hefty Haman was adopted by Soccer Score's parents. He and Soccer love to exercise and play sports together.

And Melody Aria was adopted by unicorn parents, who both sing, dance, and play music just like her.

The orphans were so happy to have new families, just like they wanted. But importantly, they're also the new members of the Great Defenders of Friendship. Me and my friends needed all the help we could get.

At the castle at Wonderworld, Princess Brightira and Prince Thrillunt were taking care of their newborn twin daughters. They gave they're babies bottles of milk for them to drink, and began to rock them to sleep. Thrillunt and Brightira became happy and proud parents, everything went really went since me and my friends made them the babies' room. Soon when the twins grew older, they will take their mother's place and be rulers of Wonderworld.

For me, I was sitting at my desk, designing and planning some inventions, parties, and events based on Wonderworld. I'm sure everypony would be enjoying them in the future. But other than that, it was a great adventure. I had a nightmare and feared it would come true. When me and some of my friends got sucked into a vortex, leading us to Wonderworld, I feared we would never get home and be in danger. But in the end, it didn't happen, we win the battle and got home. All thanks to God, when something bad happened, he can change it into good. He always has a plan for everypony, and he'll still love us no matter what happens. Just remember to keep your faith and trust in God, and everything will be alright.


The End



And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.


Romans 8:28



I know the plans that I have for you declares the Lord. They are plans for good and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope.
