   Twilight's head aches with severe pain. The transportation spell had taken the most out of her. She wasn't used to using excessive quantities of magic like that. Celestia was but at the moment was unavailable to cast the spell that opens the passage between worlds. The princess had warned her not to go alone, but she had to go and do what must be done. It was crucial. And now she must stay in bed until the pain leaves.

   Twilight never got the chance to tell Kyle why she was barging in during the middle of the night and changing them to teens. Kyle wasn't the one who concerns her. It was Rainbow Dash who she is worried about. For good reasons too, but she felt that if she hadn't turned Kyle as well, it would interupt that little thing between them. They didn't make it obvious but it doesn't take a genius like Starswirl the Bearded to figure out they were in love.

   The door creaks open and Applejack trots in. "How are yah feelin, sugarcube?"

   "I'm afraid not any better." The purple mare squeezes her eyes. "My headache won't dispel."

   "The princess says she's too busy to come visit yah an' make yah better." Applejack shook her head. "Ah don't think that's a good idea."

   "Nonsense Applejack, I'll be fine after a few months. The next time I return to the human world, the princess will be the one casting the spell."

   "Ay few months?! An' yah didn't tell Kyle what's going on?"

   "Not even Rainbow Dash."

   "Twi, how did yah expect this tah go?" Applejack was furious her friend casted a spell with few months' aftermath of headaches but didn't make use the best of her time there.

   Twilight shrugs. "A regular unicorn like me can't hope to cast the spell that will let me stay there for longer. Princess Celestia's magic is..." She stops for a second to swallow, "Special. She has more magic power than all of us."

   "Ah don't follow." Twilight's hoof meets with her face, in the manner some ponies would call a "facehoof".

   "AJ, just don't worry about it right now. That human is responsible, or at least that's how he presented himself when we met. I don't know what they've been doing, but trust me, he will take good care of Rainbow Dash."

   "Ah don't know. He ain't a miracle worker." Applejack kicks her hoof, unsure what to say or do about this matter.

   Twilight shifts her head into a more comfortable position on the pillow. "Let's just wait and see. When I'm feeling better, I'll have Princess Celestia take me back there."

   "Ah trust you're right about this, sugarcube." Applejack leaves the room, but not without turning off the lights first and saying a soft "Sweet dreams."
