We were messing around with our dads' teleportation project. Jack and I, Matt Reynolds, had dads who worked together in a science lab. They made a teleporter. It worked by changing an object's state of matter to a gas and let it travel through a tube to the "reciever" where the object would solidify. We tested it with or dads on an apple, and then a grasshopper. They turned out fine. Then when our dads weren't around we thought, "why not us" so without thinking things through, we did. It did not turn out well. We thought we were in the middle of nowhere at first.

Then after walking around for a few minutes we noticed dust picking up in the background. The terrain was grassy but with a few dirt patches here and there. Jack shouted, " Stampede, RUN!" and of course we turned direction and ran. Whatever it was, it was moving fast, and in our direction. We couldn't get far before we noticed what was pursuing us. It was a herd of seemingly well trained horses. They circled around us, as if to trap us. They did, and it worked. "They were trained to do this." I thought. Jack and I found them riderless, much a surprise. Jack and I had no idea what to do, but we didn't have to figure it out.

A blue winged horse, referred to as a pegasus in greek mythology, spoke as leader, "What are Humans doing in equestria, we had a treaty stating you banished from Equestria." Jack and I knew we were in the realm of that show for five year old girls, with talking ponies. I could tell because we both had younger sisters. We exchanged a look of exhaustion and, "Why us," as if we had a telepathic conversation. I swear he had his "This is all your fault" face on, staring right at me.

I was certainly confused. "What treaty are you possibly talking about? We had no idea at all that this place existed." I had to say which had only angered her.

"You must go to see the princess at once, perhaps she will know your punishment" clearly comanding us, the pegasus pony yelled at us to travel at spear-point in direction of a town, to make it better she even constantly yelled at us to travel faster. We had reached a small town, similar to how I had imagined the town from my grandfather's stories. He was a farmer, in a small town with only a few general stores, a gas station or two, and a farmer's market. Except this had lots of gaurds patrolling the town, and lots more buildings. We kept silent the whole walk, we had no intentions to get stabbed right now. We were clueless as to where we were. While walking through the town it was empty, except for guards being every where, but it felt you were being watched and feared and hated from every direction. We had eventually made our way to a fantastic piece of architectural schemes from what appears to be from the middle ages, a castle. "This is the palace, in here is the princess. No funny business once inside, got it." Practicly shouting was that blue pegesus that loved to give orders.

I had nodded, while Jack just said "So, no CLOWNING around" trying desperately to get a smile from her, as he thought it would be a good time for a pun.

"I wonder what types of swords can slice a human the fastest" she threatened. Jack quickly snapped into shape.

"And I'm curious as to which threat is allowed to be carried through by someone with boundaries set by this princess we are to meet." I had to say that so Jack knew I had his back.

"Since niether one of you are serious, I guess I'll have to escort you." She said sounding very furious. She led us through a big gate, followed by a portcullis. There was a big hall with numerous doors and a big double door which I had to guess was the throne room. We walked across the hall to the doorway I had just described, and it was a big throne room.

A purple pegasus-unicorn jumped up and panickly alarmed "Humans!? They're banned, how are they here!"

"Calm down we've been warned not to try anything out of place." I said hoping to calm her so she wouldn't start a crisis.

"Watch youself, you're speaking to royalty human!" She had just loved putting things in their place I had noticed. "Are they unnarmed?" "Relax, they didn't have anything when I found them." She had told her.

"Well, I am Princess Twilight Sparkle, and this is my castle. I am in charge of Ponyville, the town you are currently in." She announced sounding relaxed, noticing we are no threat.

"Great, someone who doesn't want us dead, I'm Jack." Jack stated, holding out his hand for a handshake. There was a long silence in the room, nothing changed as if stopped in time, motionless to the water in goblets, and the leaves parachuting down from the tree it was on. It seems that the leaf has nestled in the grass when when the arm of Jack has fallen to his side.

"Well, I take it you do want us dead."

"I didn't say that."

"Oh, we know, you didn't say anything." Jack had accused the princess to wanting us dead.

"Jack, I think we should go before things get out of hand." I wispered, because knowing Jack things would get out of hand pretty fast.

"You can't leave!" Snorted the blue pegasus.

"Why can't we may I ask?" I questioned with hope she knows how we can go back.

"Because you shouldn't scare the ponies of Ponyville." Answered the princess.

"Then can we go home?" I had asked here.

"Maybe if the time is right, but we need to go to Canterlot and ask Celestia for the mirror."

"Then let's go."

"Train's are closed for line repairs."

"Then we shall walk."

"Alright we just need to pack." She said, eager to help us with the journey.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, who's we? I'm not going." Rebelled the pegasus.

"Rainbow, you're coming as well as Fluttershy, AJ, Rarity, Spike and Pinky are all going. If you could, please go let them know, and take the Humans as well." Commanded the princess.

"Fine, I'll go get them." Rainbow moodily agreeing to do her task. "But you get Spike, alright Twi." Rainbow finished.

"Deal." The princess shook on it with Rainbow.
