When the human CMC find the dimensional portal open 30 moons later, they enter it in order to explore the fabled Equestria. Unfortunately, they weren't prepared for the kaos that awaited them on the other side.

Thirty moons of annoying bragging from Rarity.
Three years of jealousy and annoyance.
Sweetie Belle was fed up.

Ever since the historic battle of Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer 3 years before, Sweetie Belle had been curious beyond words. How could such powerful magic exist in the universe? How is there a world of equines?
"It's the magic of friendship darling," Rarity said countless times.
That answer never satisfied her.
One afternoon, Sweetie Belle discovered that the fabled magical portal had reopened for the first time in 3 years. She called her two friends, Scootaloo and Applebloom, and explained the news to them. They were unbelieving, but decided to travel with their best friend into the portal. When they got to the other side, they were indeed in Equestria, but it wasn't what they expected. It was a tragic world of disharmony.

Chapter 1: One Day

Chapter 1: One Day

“Sweetie Belle!” Rarity shouted, “Stop obsessing over that pointless predicament of yours and eat breakfast! You don't want to be late again!”

I watched in awe as the sunrise painted colors across the sky and its ongoing canvas. The golden rays gleamed down into my small, cluttered bedroom. Figures, I had been up all night ransacking my room for my science journal, which was plastered with photos and drawings of equines. All I found was my song journal, which was loaded with the creations of my second hobby, writing song lyrics. When will I clean this ugly mess of clothes and trash? At the moment, the answer to that question was far beyond my grasp. I was too sidetracked with a sunrise-sunset theory of utmost importance to have any care for hygiene. I wonder if the sun princess from Equestria raised the sun today, or if it is a thing of our dimension. This brief thought was enough to lull me into a trance. In a matter of minutes, the eye pleasing sight before me had resulted in a truckload of theories and explanations about Equestria. ‘Equestria’, what is this strange place? Over the past few years, I have concluded it exists through many scientific experiments on the portal statue, but the landscape details never came through. Maybe, just maybe, the landscaping is completely parallel, and everything that occurs here happens in a similar form, including the events. As I pondering over this theory, I barely noticed the clock ticking away, eating up my precious time. Before I knew it, Rarity was running up the stairs and making dents in my door as she knocked vigorously at it until I finally let her in.

“Sweetie Belle!” Rarity yelled, “Why are you still in your PJ's?!”

I couldn't quite answer that. “Um, well, you see....”

“You know what I see? A tardy slip!”

“But I was just busy studying Equestria...”

“Not this again!” Rarity interrupted. “I told you that Equestria is real, but worrying about it won't do us any good. Their dimension is fine so there is no point to bother it. Wanna do some science? Study OUR world. Now get dressed!”

“But...”

“NOW!”

~~~~~

Rarity had never understood exactly why this world fascinated me. In fact, she never showed any support in my research at all. She kept saying it was ‘an aimless goal’, but I don't care. I kept going, because her disapproval was what drove me. The reason is because she's my sister; of course she's going to be snobby, but I love her. Besides, she has been kind to me in many other situations. She always played dolls with me, in fact, she put aside some time to sew and create a Raggedy Anne style doll that looked just like me. Not only did she do that, but like herself and her four friends, she created custom outfits for me that all that the same marking on them: a music note within a pink heart. The mark perfectly described me in every way.
Despite the fact that her efforts to be a great sister were impressive, her efforts to benefit my research were not. I knew she knew about everything when it came to the fabled Elements of Harmony, because she resembled one of the elements for about two hours when Twilight Sparkle defeated Sunset Shimmer. She only told me one thing.

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was in the kitchen making easy-mac, when she strolled through the door. It was about five days since the incident with Sunset Shimmer, so I decided to ask her a question about Twilight Sparkle.

“Rarity?” I asked.

“What is it darling?” She responded. “Do you need help cooking? I could help you make a delicious lunch with a little bit of my handy work.”

“No not that.” I said. “On the day of the dance, when Twilight Sparkle and you defeated Sunset Shimmer, how did Twilight perform that magic? I thought magic wasn't real.”

Rarity's expression changed with the click of a button. She seemed somewhat shocked that I asked that question, but quickly calmed down.

“It's the magic of friendship darling.”

“Huh?”

“The magic of friendship,” She repeated, “There is nothing more powerful on earth or anywhere.”

I twitched a little, friendship? I knew it was important, but it can't exactly destroy and kill evil demons with the flip of a switch.

“But Rarity, that doesn't make any sense! Friendship isn't the most powerful thing! What about bombs and fires?”

Rarity stifled a laugh. “Well you can't exactly overcome evil with evil, can you now? Bombs are effective, but what good does it do if it is evil doings?”

I stared at her with a blank face, almost as if she was speaking in another language. I didn't understand anything, so I just let it go through one ear and out the other.

Ever since then Rarity was never the same. It was almost as if her generous soul was being feverishly picked at day by day. Sometimes I wondered, what happened to the Rarity I used to know?

~

That evening after school all I could do was bounce a ball against my pink bedroom walls. After the previous confrontation with my sister, my mind was in spirals. Nothing seemed warm and happy anymore. It was like there was a dark hole where my heart used to be and I couldn't do anything about it. My emotions were completely out of control. A dark presence was piercing a hole in my life. But the strange thing was my life was fabulous. I got an A+ on my drama performance, had a great day with my friends, and had dealt with Rarity many times before. So why was I depressed? I pondered the idea for a while until I heard a sudden crash to my left.

Phew, it was just my old equine journal. Out of curiosity, I scrolled through the hundreds of pages in hope to find a solution to my depression. Fate was smiling upon me that day, as I found the answer to my problems on the second page to the back. It was dated three years back, around the time I was ten or so.

Today something miraculous happened! I couldn't believe it, neither could Scootaloo or Applebloom! It was the school dance, when all of the sudden we heard a blast coming from the direction of the statue at Canterlot High. Sunset Shimmer had become a monster! OMG! But luckily, the Fall Formal princess, Twilight Sparkle, used magic to defeat her! Later I was reaaaalllly bored so I looked outside. Twilight was going home to a dimension called Equestria! I miss her, but I am glad she is going home to see her family. She said that she would come back in thirty moons to visit us, but that is in a really long time and I don't like waiting. Oh well! -SB 10 years old

The old article brought tears of joys to my eyes, and returned a sense of happiness to me. Although I was mostly distracted by my childish writing, something in the article caught my eye. She said she would come back in thirty moons...

After a brief look at my calendar, I realized that that was in a week. A WEEK! This was amazing. All my research was finally going to pay off when I went through the portal and explored Equestria in depth. One day, all my dreams were going to come true.

That day is finally approaching.

Chapter 2: The Plan

Chapter 2: The Portal

My mind was racing as I threw all the possible necessities I would need for my brief trip into a small backpack. I snatched every item, whether useless or of great significance, and stuffed it in my backpack. I wouldn't be able to handle it if I forgot the simplest of items, whether that happened to be a pillow or a ponytail. I thought about bringing Opal along, but I immediately dropped the subject. Twilight's baby dragon turned into a dog in our dimension, and I didn't want her to become something as gruesome and horrid as that.

" Sweetie Belle! What is that sound? I'm trying to get my beauty sleep!" Rarity shouted.

I had completely forgotten about Rarity, who had been sound asleep in the room adjacent to me. I realized why she was annoyed, though, for the sounds coming from my room sounded like power drills.

Suddenly, Rarity came bursting through the door. " What is all this about?" she yelled. "Are you really packing all that for one day of school?"

"Um, yes," I announced, knowing she wouldn't let me off without an answer."It's for drama class, and P.E."

Rarity examined my eyes as if she was peering into my deepest thoughts. "Well that doesn't make much sense,"She said with a touch of suspicion." but if you say so, be off then. You don't want to be late again."

As I ambled out towards the bus stop I made a small, inaudible cheer, knowing I had just gotten away with my plan. I couldn't believe it! Usually when Rarity is trying to get me to crack, I break out in tears, say I'm sorry, and then sit in my room for a day. Frankly, I just pass the time with my research, but there was no need for that today.

~

When the bus screeched to a stop next to Canterlot High, I was eager to bounce out and have a look-see at the portal. I twitched with despair when I saw two guards and the principal standing by the entrance. Why were they there? Then it hit me. That portal was an immortal threat to the school. I wouldn't get five feet without being questioned. Through already seeing failure in my future, I ran over to the principal, seeking answers.

"Principal Celestia, what is all this security for?" I asked.

"We don't want any more funny business like that of the Fall Formal three years ago, so we are assuring that nobody comes in or out of this portal for the school's safety."

Something inside me died when I heard those last few words. My heart sunk, and I was forced to take the walk of shame. Of all the things in the world, this is the worst possible thing that could happen. Everything I've worked for over the last few years, rendered useless because of a couple of security guards. Now I'll have too wait another three years...

~

The bell's earsplitting ring reverberated across the walls, signaling that it was lunch time for everybody. I enjoyed lunch, because it was the first and only period I had with my best friends, Scootaloo and Applebloom. Usually we would conjure up ideas for crusading, because we didn't excactly know what to crusade for. Sometimes it was scout patches, and sometimes it was jobs. today it was going to be for new dimensions. I had informed them the night before about the portal opening, and they were as ecstatic as I was, though a little bit dumbfounded. I didn't know how to break the news to them.

I entered the lunch hall and caught a glimpse of my fellow crusaders at our usual table, by the events stage. I skimmed the lunch line, and when I found nothing appetizing, I figured I would just mooch off Applebloom, who got an apple-themed homemade lunch everyday. Hopefully I could get a nibble of her famous apple fritters.

"Hi Sweetie Belle!" Shouted Scootaloo, nearly tearing my eardrums apart. " Are you excited for today? I can't wait to visit Equestria!"

" Yea, about that..."

"We're all going to have so much fun!" cheered Applebloom." I wonder what it's like to be a pony. Oh, and I can't wait to see Twiligh' again!"

"Listen girls, we..."

"Oh, and I wonder what type of pony I'll be!" blared Scootaloo. " I hope I'm not none of those classy unicorns who only care about diamonds..."
"GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Everybody in the room turned and faced me, some scared, some shocked, and some angry. My scream probably deafened a couple of them.

"Excuse me," I whispered. Everybody just went back to what they were doing after that.

"Geez Sweetie Belle, what is it?"Applebloom asked with annoyance. They both looked at me, expecting an answer.
I sighed. "We can't go to Equestria," I said shamefully." Principal Celestia put up guards near the portal."

Scootaloo broke out in hysterical laughter. I couldn't understand why she was laughing.

"Are you REALLY going to let a couple of guards stop you from following this dream?" questioned Scootaloo. "Come on, what would Rainbow Dash do?"

I never thought of it that way. Here I was, inches from acheiving something I so desperately desire, and I'm letting two tall figures and a principal intercept that. Although Scootaloo's Rainbow Dash references were driving me into insanity, I couldn't help but wonder. Rainbow Dash wouldn't stand idly by while someone destroyed her dream. She would take action and get what she deserved. I'm being a full on doormat. "Well, you have a point, but how in Canterlot High are we even going to get to the portal undetected?"

"Leave that to me,"said Scootaloo. She had a mischievous smile on her face. So did we.

"CANTERLOT CRUSADERS PORTAL TRAVELERS!"

~

Scootaloo's plan seemed infallible the first time I heard it. According to her, during Principal Celestia's lunch break, we were going to go to her office and get her to sign a petition for something random. later, we would cut the signature out and photocopy it onto another letter that reads.....

Dear Security Guards,

Thank you for your service to our school by guarding the statue. I am happy to report that your assistance is no longer needed and you may leave our campus. We have increased security and are prepared for anything. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Principal Celestia

After the guards left, we would enter the portal right away, in case Celestia happened to find out about this sneaky plan of ours ahead of time.

It seemed perfect when she explained it to us at Sugar Cube Corner the day before, but now that we're actually doing it, I shivered with fear and uncertainty. So many unsuspected things could occur during that time period. A natural disaster could occur. Celestia might not approve the petition we create. The portal might not even be open right now. I was drowning in a pool of doubts and worries.

"Don't worry Sweetie Belle,"reassured Applebloom."I'm sure Scootaloo's plan will work out perfectly." Applebloom had always been the dependable one, just like her older sister.

That day during lunch, We avoided the lunch hall and continued to tiptoe in a comical fashion towards the principal's office. Her office was surprisingly stuffed in between several of the lockers. I would think that somebody with such high power should be in a more fancy office.

When we walked into Celestia's office, our eyes were overwhelmed by a collection of calendars, papers, and cluttered books scattered about the room. There was a single desk directly in the middle of the room , covered with pencils, pens, and sticky notes. the walls were adorned with awards and important documents, as well as several photos of past teachers. Lastly, right behind us, there was a large calendar, and written on it, in red ink, was "30th moon: high alert." I would think a principal's office would look more professional and eye-pleasing.

"Why hello girls!" Exclaimed Celestia."Forgive me about the clutter, I've been extremely overwhelmed by an upcoming date. What do you need?"

"We were wondering if you would sign this petition for us," I said nervously." It is for..for..."

"NO PETS! No pet's on school campus," Scootaloo interrupted, right in the nick of time.

"You girls do realize I am in charge," Explained Celestia,"and that I can just enforce the rule without the need of a petition, right?"

"Yesssss....," said Applebloom,"But you should still sign it!"

"Oh fine," chirped Celestia,"but there really isn't any point in......"

The second her pen left the paper, we were gone.

The library was located on the other side of the school, so we had to run across the hallways. I was sweating a fountain, and nearly cut my leg on a locker while making several sharp turns, but I knew it was worth it if it meant visiting Equestria. Eventually, the entrance to the library was visible, so I used up all my energy to speed over to the tall glass doors. Much to my dismay, Scootaloo and Applebloom had sprinted ahead and beat me to it, and didn't even break a sweat.

The library was incredible. everywhere you look, there are tall, wooden bookcases lined with thousands of books. In the middle, several computers were hooked up for research purposes. I remember that one afternoon, when we were seeing how many likes our music video received. Unfortunately, the results weren't as amazing as we thought they would be.

To our right, a large, white copy machine stood before us. none of us had ever used a copy machine, but we were willing to experiment with it. There were several compartments and locks on the sides, their uses unknown, and above it was a flat, platter-looking table. Huh, I wonder what that's for, I thought to myself.

I decided to take a closer look at the copy machine, so I walked up to it, followed by Scootaloo and Applebloom. When I observed the top more closely, I noticed a red button in the corner. Temptation got the best of me, and I pushed the button lightly. Immediately, a white, blinding light pierced my eyeballs with a burning pain. I leaped in the air, flailing my arms comically until I landed hard on the ground. I stood there motionless for a second, waiting for my vision to return. When it did, I spotted a piece of paper being printed out of the machine, my face plastered on it.

"THAT WAS HILARIOUS!" shouted Scootaloo." I wish I had caught that on camera!"

"Come on Scoot, it's not like it was her fault that happened!"explained Applebloom."None of us have ever used a copy machine."

"I know, but you got to admit, that was laughable!" She admitted.

After Scootaloo's unbearable laughing ended, we decided to get back on task. I didn't want anything to do with the copy machine anymore, so I let Applebloom handle that. When she was done, We typed up the short letter, being very cautious about writing it perfectly and professionally. One grammar mistake could be the difference between success and detention for the three of us.

As we left the library, I felt a burst of confidence enter my soul. I actually believed that the plan would work now that our first two obstacles were behind us. The plan was coming together perfectly. All we had to do now was enter the portal.

Chapter 3: The Portal

This was it. The final stretch. All the Crusaders and I needed to do was walk casually up to the two guards and hand them the letter. Seems easy right? Not exactly. My heart was punching a hole in my chest as my blood circulated at a fast-paced speed. My hands shivered hysterically , barely able to keep a grasp on the fragile letter I was holding. I was afraid I was going to have a heart attack right then and there. Scootaloo and Applebloom on the other hand were fearless as they skipped proudly down the halls towards the outside quad where the statue was located.

In the distance, we spotted the white, carved statue beaming proudly in front of the school. Atop it, a marble horse posed gallantly, as if it was preparing to charge every last one of us students. The sun's rays reflected off the massive sculpture in the middle of this wide stretch of land. Below this grand decor, however, were two muscle packed, intimidating police officers. They completely disrupted the harmonic mood in the school. Hopefully, their presence would disappear today.

Suddenly, we heard footsteps clicking down the halls, and muffled voices approaching at a fast pace. In a heartbeat, we all filed into an abandoned classroom to eavesdrop on the conversation. Much to our dismay, it was Diamond Tiara, and Principal Celestia.

"You're going to punish them, right?" Diamond Tiara questioned.

"Without question." answered Celestia. "No student here will forge my signature without consequences. Thank you for bringing this evidence to my attention, Diamond."

"No problem. Those crusaders should think twice when using a copy machine."She said. That was the last thing we heard before they we're out of earshot.

My heart sunk. I could already fell the pressure and adrenaline kicking in, filling my stomach with anxiousness.

" Well, I guess we tried ya'll." said Applebloom. The tone in her voice was tinted with disappointment.

"YOU'RE STOPPING NOW?!" asked Scootaloo, shock engulfing her expression.

"Well, obviously we can't continue now." I explained."We will get expelled if we attempt this."

"But If we don't, we'll still get expelled!!!" she shouted."Either way, we're in trouble, so why not take a risk and go for it?"

"Scoot, what would our siblings say about this if we continued on with this?" Applebloom added. Scootaloo had to think this over for a while before she could come up with a valid counter-arguement.

"I don't care." She finally said." It's now or never right now. If we don't do this, Sweetie Belle's dreams will be crushed, and we'll miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity. We have one shot."

"I'm in." I announced." We'll never get another chance to go through with this, so our best option is to finish what we started.

What was I saying! This is a risk I am NOT willing to take. Why was I taking it? It was beyond my grasp right now, for I had already agreed to it.

"I guess I have no choice but to follow through with this." Applebloom said, defeated.

"Well it's settled then! Let's go Canterlot Crusaders!"

~~~~~~~

Careful to avoid confrontation with any teachers, the three of us snuck down the remainder of the halls. Though we nearly bumped into Trixie and the vending machine, we all managed to get to the front door unharmed.

Scootaloo, bravest of all of us, was the first to skip out towards the statue. Beforehand, she volunteered to hand the letter we had created to the guards. She didn't exactly have a choice, though, for both me and Applebloom chickened out of the job. As she made her way towards the middle of the area, a few students that lounged outside watched in suspense. Ever since the two security guards came on campus, nobody had any intention to step foot onto the pavement leading towards the statue, so Scootaloo was really a showstopper at the moment.

Because we were distanced from the statue, Applebloom and I couldn't hear anything Scootaloo or the guards were saying. All we witnessed were brief mouth movements, and exchanges of looks.

Sweat raced down my forehead as I watched in utter fear. The seconds ticked away, inch by inch, minute by minute, tick by tick. Anxiety was playing a cruel trick on me. After what seemed like several hours, the guards finally strolled off into the distance, got into their cars, and drove away without a care in the world.

Though I wanted to scream and shout at our clever victory, something interrupted my silent celebration. I heard a strange clicking noise above me, and a flash of light cross my vision. When I looked up to see what it was, what hung there gave me a tiny heart attack. It was a security camera.

Before me and Applebloom knew it, we heard footsteps clanking down the hallways at a fast paced speed.

At that very moment, we knew there was no time to waste. Our only instinct was this...

"RUN!!!!!!"

The two of us sprinted towards Scootaloo, unaware that Principal Celestia and Luna had already gotten to the door, and were running towards the expanse. Scoots saw us running for our lives, and immediately threw herself into the portal. her entrance caused a reaction of multicolored sparkles to burst into the air, signaling that she had gone through.

At a time like this, I was shamed that I was the least athletic of the three of us. I panted furiously, unable to catch my breath. Everything around me was a blur. I could only hear aggresive shouting, and could see a white silhouette in the distance, calling my name. As I sprinted my way towards the statue, a yellow blur disappeared, followed by another burst of color. Applebloom.

Knowing I was the last crusader left in the dimension, I threw my self forward. Instead of shooting myself through the silver transparent portal before me, I got a face full of concrete. I fell to the ground, unable to keep my balance. I thought it was over, that Principal Luna and Celestia were going to expel me. Their silhouettes loomed over me as I put my hands up in surrender. That's when a yellow hand grabbed my ankle, and pulled me into an unidentifiable substance.

In that moment, I was blinded by a multitude of spinning colors. I could feel a tingling sensation all over my body, numbing my limbs. A sense of confusion overtook me, as my my spiraled out of control. It felt like hours, days, years, I couldn't tell. Then all of it stopped, and everything went black.

Author's Note

Haha you get a cliffhanger!!! Just saying. Thank you for 200+ views and kind words towards my first fanfic! School will be starting soon, so I'll give at least one more chapter within the next couple days, but I'm not sure about the others following it, just because I want to focus on, you know, real life n stuff. But Thank you! I hope to continue writing!

Chapter 4: What am I?

My eyes fluttered open as I awoke from what seemed like a long slumber. As I began to stir, I felt my body ache and shiver, as if I hadn't used it in over a thousand years. My ears pricked from the sound of somebody snoring obnoxiously, and although I was eager to discover the source of the snoring, I couldn't come to the effort of standing up. So I instead just sat there for several minutes, staring at the ceiling above me, and attempting to collect my thoughts from the previous day.

What happened? The last thing I remember was being chased by the Principals of Canterlot High, before I was enclosed in what seemed to be a multitude of colorful lights. I quickly remembered that I had hit my head on concrete, and probably had some sort of concussion or hallucination. Judging by that, I was most likely in an office or jail cell, awaiting the consequences for trying to enter the portal.

The portal! I shrieked at the thought, remembering that my fellow crusaders had gone through the portal without me. Were they safe? What happened to them? Are they in Equestria? These questions consumed my mind, and I could only overcome them with pacing. As I attempted to stand up, I came to the sudden realization that that was impossible, most likely because I didn't have toes. Or fingers.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"I screamed hysterically, unable to interpret this latest development. What the heck was going on!! Then it hit me like a lightning bolt. Right before Principal Celestia and Luna had caught up to me, a yellow hand pulled me into a jello like substance. That must have been Applebloom, pulling me into the portal! I didn't understand how she could've pulled me in if she was already inside the portal, but right now, I choose to abide all questions..

So then, was this Equestria? Was I, a pony? I finally took the oppurtunity to glance around the room. There seemed to be two ponies sleeping on the ground, and besides a bejeweled mirror in the back of the room, the decor wasn't exactly grand. I suspected it was some type of storage room, or spare room they just happened to put a mirror in. A mirror, huh? I decided to crawl over to the mirror, mainly because I couldn't walk, so I could get a better look of myself.

What stood before me surprised me greatly. I was, unquestionably, a pony. I had hooves, a bushy tail, and a sparkly white horn atop my head. The only similarities between this creature and myself was my mane, which was curly and pink-purple like my hair back home. The strangest feature was that on my flank, the emblem that Rarity put on all my clothes was imprinted into my coat. Strange I thought,horses don't have these back home.

Now that I knew what I was, I had to investigate. I didn't come to Equestria for a vacation. I came to learn. Besides, I needed to find my fellow crusaders.

Walking was extremely hard, as I had to be on four legs. I wobbled everywhere, but managed to keep a snail slow, but steady pace. I approached what appeared to be an orange and purple pegasus, with a rough mane-cut, and a picture of a fire lit wheel on her flank. I shook her awake, and she began to stir.

"Huh, where am I?" said the pegasus, struggling to keep her energy up."What's going on? Sweetie Belle?"

"Wait, Scootaloo?"

I immediately came to the realization that these were my friends lying weak on the floor. Figures, after going through that portal, none of us were exactly fit and ready.

Scootaloo's vision began to clear, and the second her eyes focused on me, her expression cracked. She began to breathe heavily, and started screaming continuously.

I did a facepa- I mean face hoof. Of all of us crusaders, I'd expect Scootaloo to be the bravest and most enthusiastic. No, instead she was being a coward. I rolled my eyes, and moved on to the other pony, who was supposedly Applebloom. She had a yellow coat, red hair, and unlike me and Scootaloo, she was able to keep one of her signature clothing items: her big red bow. On her flank, a picture of a hammer and several nails glistened brightly. I gently nuzzled her awake, and she awoke from he slumber. It wasn't peaceful, though.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed, unable to grasp reality as it toyed with her brain."What is going on?!?!?!"

"Duh, we're in Equestria," said Scootaloo, who had finally collected herself, and was trying to walk on over to us." Since we went through the magic portal, we're all ponies."

"Oh, that makes so much sense now that it defies the laws of physics!" She retorted, trying to stand up.

"Will you two calm down?!" I shouted, their voices distracting me."Do you want to explore and have fun, or sit here and argue?"

"Good point," said Scootaloo,"but I'm not exactly strong with my wings yet." She jumped up into the air, and hovered for about two seconds before she came crashing to the ground.

"Why don't you walk like the rest of us?" Applebloom asked with a tint of aggravation. Unlike me and Scootaloo, she lacked a horn or a set of wings.

"I say that first we explore the city we've teleported to, and then we meet the counterparts of people like our sisters,"I explained."If we meet our own counterparts, the universe won't like it, so we should refrain from socializing with them."

"Ok then!" Applebloom shouted."Let's go Canterlot Crusaders!"

Applebloom stood up, wobbled over to the door, and pushed it open. I bobbled as well, where as Scootaloo had learned how her wings worked and was soaring about. We all looked out into the city, excited and prepared for what would be a fantastic vacation of a sort.

But the horrid wasteland before us was undeserving of our smiles.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, in the human dimension...

When Rarity couldn't find Sweetie Belle at school, she just figured she'd gone over to their little clubhouse at Sweet Apple Acres to crusade with her friends. That afternoon, she drove her topless pink car over to Applejack's property, eager to get her home.

Rarity pulled up on the dirt driveway and walked up to the barn entrance. "Applejack?" she shouted.

Applejack was busy feeding the pigs, and had to wash her hands before approaching Rarity. She knew she didn't like getting dirty. "What are ya'll doing here? Shouldn't you be watching the crusaders at your house?"

Rarity twitched. "But, I had come to the predicament that Sweetie Belle was coming to your house for a playdate this afternoon, darling."

"Applebloom told me that she was coming over to your house to crusade," Applejack said, confused.

That was when another car pulled up, rainbow streaks across the front. Rainbow Dash emerged to the car, looking cool and confident.

"Where's Scootaloo?" she asked impatiently."i'm supposed to pick her up right now and my soccer practice is about to start."

"You tell us," Applejack answered."Neither of us had any crusaders come to our homes."

"WHAT!?!?!?" Screamed Rainbow Dash. She hyperventilated, freaking out at this news. Then she took a deep breath."Those squirts are probably hiding something they don't want us to know about!"

"Well, I might have an idea of where they are.."

"WELL SPILL THE BEANS RARITY!" Yelled Rainbow."WE DON'T HAVE ALL DAY!!" Rarity was imtimidated to say the least by Rainbow Dash's screaming.

"Well, remember when Twilight came about 2 1/2 years ago?" said Rarity.

"Yea, it's kinda hard to forget," answered Applejack, unsure where this was heading."Your point?"

"Well, Sweetie Belle has been obsessed with the subject,"explained Rarity." and for the past several years she has been studying this, as Twilight calls it, Equestria."

"Oh yea, the pony world!" Cheered Rainbow."I miss my wings so much though, it would be cool to get them back. You were saying?"

"Anyways," Rarity gave Rainbow Dash a dirty look."Maybe the crusaders went through the portal, but didn't really want us to know they were leaving the dimension."

"That's silly," Applejack laughed."She said the portal wouldn't open for another 30 moons! It hasn't been thirty moons, has it?"

"Um, guys, you might want to look at this," Rainbow flashed her phone in front of their faces."The calendar app says that it HAS been thirty moons, and this three day period is almost over. If we don't get to the portal soon, they'll be stuck in there for three years, as PONIES."

Both Applejack and Rarity's jaws dropped. This wasn't happening. It couldn't be. But they had no choice.

The three of them jumped in Rainbow's car, and drove towards the school.

Author's Note

Here's another chapter. As you can see, things just got pretty messed up for their sisters. Ya. Thanks for 300+!

Some of you think I add too many pictures because I'm lazy. That's not the case.If you've noticed, I already describe everything in the photo before I put the picture up. For example, I described what the cmc looked like in this dimension before I put the picture up. I just think that pictures are fun little thing to add that attract attention. Don't hate. Love. It's colorfulness. What's not to like?
