Defeat a Giant Serpent and Jump to Equestria
“You sure this is a good idea Trunks?” Goten asked as he followed Trunks around in a dark forest.
“What in the world could you possibly think could harm us in here?” Trunks folded his arms looking quite confident of himself. Goten looked confused and asked another question, “If nothing is to harm us then why did we bother coming here?”
Trunks stopped in his tracks and put his finger to his chin and thought for a moment. He turned around with a big nervous smile and said,” Well, um...it’s for training!” Goten still didn’t have a clue why they would be training somewhere that has no challenging foe.
Trunks saw the look on Goten’s face and tried to explain. “The training is all about the unpredictable! Like it'll sharpen our skills of how we react to something that comes out of nowhere!” Trunks folded his arms again and faced forward, “Well? What are you waiting for?”
Goten smiled and began to walk after Trunks.
The moon was nothing but a bright slither that was slowly disappearing into the cloudy sky. Goten looked up the sight and got a little nervous. He had a worried expression on his face while asking,” If the unexpected comes…how are we to fight it when I can’t see anything!” He waved his arms back in forth.
Trunks groaned,” It’s all part of the training Goten!” Goten stopped his arms and continued looking up into the sky that was now just black. He walked a little closer to Trunks so that he wouldn’t lose sight of his best friend. Trunks stopped suddenly and Goten bumped into him, “AH! Why are we stopping?”
Trunks didn't face Goten but said, “We are making a camp!” Goten began to ask, “Do you have your capsules or somethin’?”
Trunks laughed, “Of course not Goten, making your own camp is also part of the training!”
Goten’s smile disappeared and was replaced with a tired sigh.
Goten then asked, “How on Earth are we going to make a camp with no light?”
Trunks grinned but Goten couldn't see it; “Seriously Goten? Did you forget?”.
Goten put his hand to his chin and thought, you told me not to bring anything so what could I have- A bright glow came from Trunk’s hand. Goten grinned, “Oops.”
~
“I totally forgot that we could do that!” Goten said embarrassed.
Trunks looked at Goten and said, “We could easily get a fire goin’ once you get the firewood.”
Goten gulped and looked into the dense forest, he shifted his glance slowly back at Trunks.
Trunks nodded.
Goten later found himself jumping on branches with an energy ball for light. He looked around nervously but shook his head trying to focus on the branch. “This one seems big enough!” With one hand he chopped the giant branch off the tree. It hit the ground with a large THUD!
Goten smiled proudly and jumped down from the tree looking at the branch. The noise echoed through the forest, a flock of birds screeched and flew out of a tree. Goten frowned, “This is a little too big...maybe if I chopped it up a bit more…” He took out his leg and jumped up still holding the energy ball and kicked downward on the tree branch.
The tree branch automatically split into blocks of wood. Goten raised an eyebrow while smiling, “How oddly convenient!” but Goten’s smile didn’t last long when he noticed that he couldn’t carry all those blocks without using his other hand. And idea popped in his head and he realized that he could just control his energy to float over his head. He did just so and walked promptly back to the clearing of the forest. “I can't wait to see the look on Trunk’s face! He sure will be surprised. I bet he’ll say Wow Goten I didn’t expect you to get wood and come back without my help.” Goten frowned, “Trunks I didn’t need your help to get wood!”. He shook his head laughing; “Oh jee, I was talking to myself!”
Goten hopped out of the bushes to find Trunks tapping his foot on the ground. Goten smiled nervously,” Did I take long Trunks?”
Trunks frowned with his arms folded, “You took forever!”
Goten gently set down the neatly stacked blocks of wood in what he thought is the middle of their campsite. Trunks growled, “You didn’t even get the stones!?”
Goten drooped,” S-stones?”
Trunks nodded then said angrily,” We don’t want a forest fire!”
Goten groaned and flopped on the ground,” I don’t want to get the stones!”
Trunks rolled his eyes,” Goten you are such a baby!” He turned around and dashed into the forest with his energy in his hand glowing. Trunks hovered over the forest canopy as he tried to locate a river.
At the campsite Goten was sitting up on the ground looking at the wood blocks. “Man, I’m so cold!” He stood up impatiently and paced back and forth,” What’s taking Trunks so long?”
At that moment Trunks landed on his feet next to Goten with an arm full of medium-sized stones. “You were saiyan?”
Goten smiled weakly, “GLaD to see you got the stones!” Trunks made one of his father’s faces and set the stones into a circle. “Alright, I need you to place the wood blocks into the circle neatly.” Trunks repeated the last word clearly, “NEATLY.”
Goten nodded and smiled as he lifted up the pile of wood that was already neatly stacked and placed them down gently into the circle of stones. Trunks said excitedly, “Alright let's get the fire started!.” Goten nodded enthusiastically.
A bright glow came from Trunk’s hand and began to grow into a medium-sized ball; he threw the ball effortlessly onto the stack of wood. The wood immediately caught fire; creating a large amount of light and heat. Goten zoomed right next to the fire and put his hands out while sitting on the ground. He sighed with relief but was startled when Trunks zipped right next to him. “I’m cold too.” He laughed with Goten next to the fire. Deep in the forest a creature was awoken from the large noise caused by Goten. This creature has a head of an anglerfish and a body of an electric eel. It has two lights hanging from the side of its cheeks and one on its head. The color of it generally is violet and neon green in daylight. But at night it is only a pale gray with empty eyes. It can climb underground striking when the prey stops moving. This creature is not named but is feared throughout the forest. There is a reason no one ventures into this forest. Both Goten and Trunks were laughing while sitting next to the fire. “And he said, “VEGETA! VEGETA! VEGETA! I’m a ghost. Then my dad screamed so loud people in space could hear him!” Trunks flopped on the floor after he spoke. Goten did the same. Goten tried to talk but was holding his sides while wiping tears from his eyes. He finally squeaked, “Trunks where do you get these hilarious stories?!” Trunks took a deep breath so he could speak clearly, “Well…” He clears his throat then continues, “Well umm my dad was at the table and my mom was in another room, and I asked my dad about how he met Goku.” Trunks paused getting ready to laugh again but tried to hold it back, “He looked down then right at me and told me everything” Goten raised an eyebrow, “Everything?” Trunks nodded then busted out laughing again, this time holding his sides. A strange rustling noise came from the forest bushes next to them. Goten squinted his eyes as he stood up and walked over to the bush. Trunks followed him still giggling, “What is it Goten?” Goten pointed to the bush then faced Trunks, “There’s something in that bush.” Trunks immediately stopped laughing and stood beside Goten bending down inspecting the bush. Goten blinked, “Trunks I don’t think we should be so close to the bush.” Trunks scoffed, “Don’t worry Goten, if we know something is in there then we know we are safe!” Goten scratched his head, “That really doesn’t make any sense.” Trunks smiled still looking at the bush, “We both know there is nothing in the forest that can beat us up right?” Goten was very unsure but believed Trunks anyways. The creature bolted into the ground leaving a large hold in the soil. Goten looked up and stared off into the forest. Trunks shoved his hand into the bush and pulled out a squirrel, “WHOA! Goten I found dinner!” Goten stilled stared off into the forest. Trunks stared at him then back at the squirrel. He waved the animal in front of Goten to get his attention. Goten smiled, “Sorry Trunks.” Trunks made another one of his father’s faces again while saying, “What were you doing? Night gazing?!” Goten rubbed the back of his neck nervously. Trunks released his grip on the squirrel and frowned, “For not being attentive, you have to get the dinner for tonight.” Goten sagged his shoulders, “Dinner?” Trunks smirked, “Yep! All by yourself too!” Goten groaned as he walked into the forest. He walked sulkily away from Trunks whom folded his arms and began tapping his foot. Goten looked back trying to convince Trunks with sad puppy eyes. “Not with the face.” Trunks pointed back to the forest. Goten turned his head back around and leaped onto a giant branch. He sat down letting his legs dangle. “How am I going to find a river than come back here without getting lost?” He heard something emerge from the ground. “Maybe I don’t have to get fish!” Trunks looked at the fire, which was still running quit strongly. Trunks looked at the ground and kicked a stone into the forest. He sighed and sat down. “I should go find him and make sure he didn’t get lost.” Trunks prepared himself to take to sky but heard a scream that sounded like Goten. He whipped his head towards to forest to find Goten running franticly through the trees. “TRUNKS! RUN! IT’S HUGE!” Goten screamed. Trunks rolled his eyes, “Goten are you seriously afraid of something in the forest-“A giant serpent creature shot out of the forest along with Goten who hid right behind Trunks. “G-G-Goten…What is THAT!?” Goten shivered with no reply, all he did was stare in horror at the creature. The creature sat like a snake but was at least 50ft tall. Both Goten and Trunks gulped. Trunks then shook his head and yelled, “COME HERE YOU BIG BALOOGA!” Goten frowned, “Trunks…how is he a-“The creature made a high-pitched screech that echoed through the forest. “AHH! MY EARS!” both Trunks and Goten said in unison covering their ears. The creature’s tentacles that seemed to simply appear out of nowhere shot towards Goten. Goten quickly dodged the attack but was shortly grabbed by another tentacle a few seconds later. Trunks formed an energy disc and used it to slice the dark gray tentacle of the creature. Goten wriggled free and kicked the side of the creature’s face. Trunks joined in and kicked the other side. The creature continued screeching flailing its tentacles aimlessly. Trunks smiled, “I think that might be its blind spot Goten! Do it again!” They both kicked each side at the same time, but the creature did not react. Goten chuckled nervously, “Maybe not anymore!” Both boys flipped on the ground examining their foe once more. The two lights that hung at the end of each cheek began to lengthen and so did the one on its forehead. Trunks and Goten were shocked at the sight. Those tentacles shot into the sky making a giant ball of energy that looked like it was the sun. It only lighted the forest leaving everything else covered in darkness. The creature changed its color from gray to violet and neon green and yellow. Its eyes turned bright red while the tentacles retracted back to its head. Goten had wide eyes, “WHAT IS THIS THING?!” Trunks growled, “How am I supposed to know?!” The creature strikes again but this time with only its tentacles on its face. Trunks dodged several of the strikes but landed sloppily on the ground. The creature took advantage of the Trunks’ mistake and attacked Trunks full charge. Goten instantly transformed into a super saiyan and dashed towards the creature. The creature stopped its attack towards Trunks and turned its head to find itself being punched. Trunks encouraged Goten then joined him. Both boys kicked the creature back and forth. The creature had enough and let out a painful piercing screech. Goten and Trunks covered their ears but quickly shook their heads and landed back on the ground. They gave each other a look and nodded. Both raised their arms horizontally and lifted one of their legs. They slanted towards each other and shifted their hands to only show their index finger. Both shouted in unison before making their fingers touch, “FUSION- HA!” the creature squinted to find that its opponent has merged into one being. In a flash the creature’s head was on the ground. When the merged Goten and Trunks spoke their voice sounded like they were both talking at the same time, “This is a form we call Gotenks!” The creature had a look of pain on its face but then changed that into a shocked/confused expression. Gotenks clenched his hands into fists and charged at the creature. The creature wailed trying to get back up from its heavy fall. Gotenks planted his fist right into the jaw of the creature. The creature was dazed. Gotenks raised an eyebrow, “Had enough?” The creature shook its head and growled. It rose back up and its red eyes glowed. It locked its gaze on Gotenks and stared. Gotenks laughed, “A staring contest eh?” Gotenks stopped laughing and was completely still. The creature chuckled deeply. Gotenks barely spoke, “I-I can’t move!!” The creature closed in slowly showing its sharp evil teeth. Gotenks tried to be calm but all he could think was how the creature would eat him. The creature smirked and extended its tentacles from its cheeks. The tentacles flowed in a continuous motion. Gotenks gritted his teeth and tried to become a super saiyan, but the stare from the creature kept him frozen. An idea suddenly hit Gotenks that moment. Gotenks stopped struggling and closed his eyes. The creature’s eyes ceased to glow. A giant energy aura surrounded Gotenks causing the creature to flinch back. The energy expanded and made waves that knocked the creature back and forth. Gotenks laughed, “This is the end forest creature!” Gotenks began to yell loudly and a giant blue ball began to form in Gotenks’ hands. The ball transformed into a giant beam that completely obliterated the creature. Gotenks floated drowsily towards the ground. Goten and Trunks un-merged and landed on the dry dirt. They both giggled weakly. The light that was on the top of the creatures head sank into the ground and the artificial sun faded away. Trunks looked up and saw golden dust form into bands then into patterns on the ground. Goten rubbed his eyes, “What a light show!” The gust glowed brighter and trimmed to forest trees and plant life with a golden glow. Both Trunks and Goten breathed, “Whoa.” The dust formed a circler pattern under Goten and Trunks. Trunks hovered a bit but Goten stepped between the lines laughing. Trunks rolled his eyes and tried to grab Goten but a strand of dust quickly became solid and wrapped around his ankle. One grabbed Goten too making them both wave their arms frantically. The strands pulled them towards the center which was becoming a giant swirling hole. Goten screamed, “This is the end!!” Trunks snapped, “Goten try harder!” He turned super saiyan and tried to fly away but that made the strand pull him in faster. Soon they were both sucked into the swirling vortex and the dust and the hole disappeared.

Goten groaned as he slowly rose from the soft grass. He rubbed his head and fluttered his eyes open. His eyes were wide open with shock when he saw butterflies and green trees in the light of day. Goten sat up and looked around the new forest. He said out loud, “What a strange dream I had…It was really realistic too.” He yawned and stretched his arms out. Goten saw a butterfly pass over head and then a whole flock of butterflies appeared. Goten smiled while watching them fly gently around the sky. Goten stopped watching and realized that Trunks was nowhere near him. He panicked and flew up pass the canopy of the trees. As Goten brushed some leaves off his shoulder he looked across the large plain of grass. Goten turned his gaze down towards the forest, “There is only a little patch of trees here.” He said trying to figure out where is he. Trunks silently crept up behind Gotenks and poked his belly while saying, “BOO!” Goten yelped then turned around to see Trunks smiling at him. Goten hugged Trunks then poked his stomach. “Trunks! Do you have any idea where we are?” Trunks shook his head but suggested, “We may have fallen asleep during our training in the forest.” Goten made a confused expression and asked, “So us fighting a giant serpent thing was a dream right?” Trunks shook his head again and showed a long scratch on his arm. Goten said weakly, “So we did get pulled into the vortex-thingy?” Trunks nodded and looked around the sky, “And it seems that vortex-thingy led us here.” Goten grumbled, “More like grabbed us.” Trunks turned his head and smiled, “Hey! I sense some sort of life-energy that way!” His ki surrounded him and he bolted off. Goten quickly followed. Goten shouted, “Trunks! What about finding out where we are?!” Trunks looked back and answered, “Well maybe the village we’re heading too might fill us in a bit.” Goten dashed so that he was right next to Trunks. He looked forward and tried to locate the life-energy Trunks was talking about. “Wow. That is defiantly a village of some sort!” Goten said. Trunks smiled proudly. Later the village’s houses came into view and Trunks decided to go there on foot so that they don’t freak out the people there. Goten placed both hands on top of his head then used them as a head rest for his neck. “Just over this hill!” Trunks sprinted up the hill next to this large boulder that sat firmly in the ground. He placed one hand on the boulder and one over the top of his eyes to block the sunlight so he can see the village. Goten sighed with relief and was thankful their long flight/walk was over. He sheepishly asked, “You think they have any food?” Trunks folded his arms, “Defiantly.” Goten clapped his hands a few times. Trunks squinted his eyes and saw no one in the village. “Goten! The place is a ghost town!” He said sitting heavily on the ground. Goten did the same and moaned, “That means I won’t get my pancakes.” Out of the corner of one of the houses a pink pony hopped into view. This pony had a sack and she pulled a big rectangular prism and placed it on the ground. It unfolded into a cake stand with a big sign across the front saying, “Pinkie Pie’s Fantabulous Cakes.” Goten moved his nose to the delightful smell. He opened his eyes and saw the pony. “WHA!” he leaped backwards and pointed at the pony that didn’t see them. Trunks saw the pink pony and blinked twice, then rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn’t day dreaming. More ponies came out into the village and soon the town was bustling with life. Unicorns and Earth Ponies were trotting from place to place chatting, shopping, eating, and playing. Trunks and Goten’s face forged a smile. Goten tilted his head, “You seeing bright-colored ponies too Trunks?” Trunks nodded slowly. The pink pony got numerous greetings from other ponies. “Good morning Pinkie!” “Hello Miss Pie!” Goten licked his lips, “I could go for a pie right now.” Trunks laughed in agreement. A group of ponies began to form a line at Pinkie Pie’s cake stand. Goten chuckled, “Whatever that pony is selling must be good!” Goten leaped off of the grass and began to dash down the hill. Trunks instantly grabbed Goten’s collar. “Are you insane!?” He hissed. Goten groaned again and sat back at the top of the hill. Trunks folded his arms and said, “These ponies might flip if they saw us!” Goten’s cheeks turned red with embarrassment. Trunks looked back towards Pinkie Pie and her cakes. His stomach made a gargling noise. He flopped down. “I’m starving…” He held his stomach. Goten grinned, “We could always ask that pony for some cakes!” Trunks shot a warning glance at Goten. Goten rolled his eyes and folded his arms and he almost looked exactly like Trunks. “Get your cakes here! Fresh hot cakes!” Pinkie announced. Goten squirmed while he sat, he couldn’t stand it. Trunks was struggling to stop himself also. Suddenly Trunks hopped on his feet and said, “That’s it! I’ve got a plan to get those cakes.” Goten drooled a bit but smiled. “Get your cakes! 10 bits a cake!” Pinkie Pie continued announcing. Goten and Trunks were behind a building and made sure they weren’t seen by anypony. As fast as Goten could run he began to zoom in circles and this created a small surge of dust towards the cake stand. The ponies gasped and covered their heads. Pinkie Pie however frowned and leaped out of the cloud to see only a fragment of Goten and Trunks running off with a cake. Pinkie screamed, “That wasn’t NICE!” She bolted after the duo of troublemakers. Trunks and Goten were laughing while they ran as fast as they could. Trunks slowed down and hid behind the hill they were at. “Bon appétit!” Trunks and Goten stuffed the cakes they were holding into their mouths. Both boys were amazed how good it tasted. Pinkie Pie crept up the hill and expected to find Rainbowdash up to no good again but instead she shrieked at the sight of something she never seen before. Goten and Trunks shouted in surprise. Pinkie Pie zoomed all the way back to Ponyville. Goten gulped his last bit of cake while Trunks said, “Uh-oh.” Pinkie was all over the place. She was bouncing off air and then crashed into Twilight’s house. “TWILIGHT! TWILIGHT!” Pinkie Pie shouted as she flopped on the ground of Twilight’s library. Twilight groaned, “Pinkie pie I was in the middle of re-shelving…what is wrong?” Pinkie frantically waved her arms and spoke gibberish. Twilight magically put a zipper over Pinkie Pie’s mouth and waited for her to calm down a little. She unzipped the zipper and waited for Pinkie’s calmed down response. Pinkie Pie took a deep breath and said calmly but quickly, “Twilight, I was selling my cakes when a mini-dust storm comes out of nowhere. I look around and see if it was caused by Rainbowdash but I found out it wasn’t!” Twilight lifted an eyebrow. “So you’re saying these ponies caused a dust storm to rob you blindly?” Pinkie Pie nodded but then said, “Well, yes and no.” Twilight Sparkle was confused, “What do you mean yes and no?” Pinkie looked around and whispered, “The thieves weren’t ponies at all!” Twilight gasped, “So your saying that griffons robbed you?!” Pinkie Pie screamed, “THEY WEREN’T EVEN GRIFFONS!” Twilight was a little shocked but impatient for the answer, “Then what were they?” Pinkie’s hair bounced randomly and she put her hooves to her face and said, “I have no idea!!” Twilight thought Pinkie was playing some sort of prank so she ended the conversation shortly, “Well Pinkie when you know what they are come and talk to me.” Pinkie Pie drooped, “But Twilight! That’s why I came to you! I thought maybe you would know what they are!” Twilight looked around Pinkie. She said, “Where are they if I may ask?” Pinkie Pie smiled, “Over by the hill!” Twilight groaned, “You want me to check all the way over on the outskirts of town to identify thieves that may or may not have run away?” Pinkie Pie nodded happily. Twilight smiled softly, “Ok Pinkie. I’ll try and help you.” Pinkie Pie hopped in the air with a giant grin on her face. As Twilight and Pinkie Pie trotted happily towards the outskirts of Ponyville Trunks and Goten were arguing about what to do. “We should go back to that patch of trees!” shouted Goten. Trunks shouted back, “Then what?! We’ll be back in the same position we were in before!” Twilight and Pinkie Pie drew closer and closer to Trunks and Goten. Twilight hovered with her wings that she loved to use when she got the chance. Pinkie pie hopped as high as she could and did flips in the air just to show that she didn’t need silly wings. Twilight laughed with Pinkie as they got closer to the hill. Goten and Trunks had their arms folded while facing the opposite direction from each other. Pinkie Pie landed on the top of the hill and peeked over to see Goten and Trunks being silent and pouting. Twilight peeked as well and shrieked at the sight. Pinkie Pie covered Twilight’s mouth but it was too late. Trunks opened one eye and then both. Goten leaped back behind Trunks and pushed him towards the ponies. “If you are going to dissect one of us Trunks is gladly volunteering.” Trunks yelled, “NO I’M NOT!” He flipped behind Goten and pushed him towards the ponies. Twilight smiled nervously, “We aren’t dissecting anypony…” Goten and Trunks blinked, “Anypony?” they say in unison. Both boys turn their heads and faced each other. Soon Goten and Trunks crack up laughing. Pinkie Pie giggled, “What’s so funny?” She zipped next to Trunks then next to Goten. Trunks smiled, “Well instead of anybody you use ‘anypony’” He laughs again. Pinkie Pie frowned, “I don’t get the joke.” Twilight trotted up next to Pinkie Pie and clarified, “You really have no room to laugh. We may have different grammar than yours but you have the strangest appearance I have ever seen!” Trunks and Goten stop laughing. Pinkie Pie giggled, “You look like cute circus monkeys!!” Trunks frowned, “HEY! That was very rude. My mother says it isn’t polite to call people names.” Goten scoffs, “Trunks, if is so rude then why do you call me a baby all the time?” Pinkie Pie looked nervously at Twilight. Trunks frowned, “Cause it’s the truth.” Goten gritted his teeth and pressed his forehead against Trunks’. “You know it’s the truth that you are a monkey.” Trunks smirked, “Oh ya, your dad is a total monkey that’s for sure!” Goten growled, “Says the one whose dad is the prince of monkeys!” Trunks gasped, “You take that back!!” Goten’s tongue popped out of his mouth, “No.” Trunks angrily jumped back and was positioned in a fighting stance. Goten did the same and they both just waited for one of the other to make a move. Pinkie gasped, “Twily I think they are mad at each other!” Twilight tilted her head, “You don’t say.” Pinkie zipped in the air and landed in front of Trunks, “You should apologize,” She turned around and faced Goten, “You too!” Goten stood up straight looking down at the bright green grass. Trunks folded his arms and lifted his head in the air. Twilight smiled weakly, “I can tell that both of you are…friends?” Goten nodded, but Trunks didn’t move. Twilight continued, “You know, a long time ago I was sent to this town which is called Ponyville, and was instructed by my mentor to check on preparations…” She trailed off and giggled, “…And make friends.” Goten looked up, obviously interested in the story while Trunks still was in the same position. Twilight looked in the sky then at Pinkie Pie, “I thought that friends were nothing valuable, but I was never so wrong in my life. I learned that friendship can help you save Equestria and yourself-” Goten interrupted Twilight, “What is Equestria?” Twilight pointed towards the bright sun and then waved it flowingly to the left. “This whole place is called Equestria!” Pinkie bounced up and down next to Twilight, “Ooo! Ooo! Are we gonna quiz them?” Twilight turned her head towards Pinkie completely discomposed. Pinkie stopped bouncing and saw the look on Twilight’s face, she slowly asked, “Are we going to quiz them about Equestria?” Twilight frowned, “…WHY?” Pinkie chortled, “Since their new to Equestria, why not?” Twilight always questioned Pinkie Pie’s suggestion because they were random and never made sense, but she once learned that you have to trust your friends and not be so skeptical of them. Pinkie stood there smiling and Goten stood there confused and Trunks stood there pouting and Twilight stood there thinking. It was quite silent for 5 minutes until Pinkie bounded in front of Trunks, staring at his face. Twilight let out a sigh and waited to see what Pinkie would say or do. It seems she just has to wing it and not plan out a therapy session about friendship. Twilight counted silently in her head; 1…2….3. Pinkie Pie cracked up, “If you continue making the same face, it’ll be stuck like that!” Twilight felt weird knowing when Pinkie would giggle a comment or joke. Trunks still made his, eyes-closed-arms-folded-pouted-face while saying, “You mean like yours?” Goten looked at Trunks dismayed, “HEY! You can’t make fun of that happy pony like that!” Twilight groaned in her head ‘not again.’ Goten marched up to Trunks. Trunks still had his back turned but finally rotated to face Goten. Both boys glared at each other. Pinkie chuckled sheepishly, “Actually the purpled-haired monkey is right!” Goten broke his gaze on Trunks and stared at Pinkie Pie. “Ya…um I actually kept smiling forever and ever cause I never wanted the feeling to end!” Twilight nodded and pointed out, “Complete truth.” Trunks patted Goten’s head and then turned himself to face Twilight, “So, may we actually get a professional introduction? I really dislike being called a purple monkey.” Twilight’s cheeks turned red with embarrassment. I can’t believe I didn’t introduce myself. She nodded and cleared her throat. “My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle.” Goten smiled, “Oh wow! A princess…My name is Goten!” Trunks hopped in front of Goten, “My name is Trunks!” Pinkie leaped in front of Trunks, “And I’m Kapachiramasama!” Twilight rolled he eyes playfully at Pinkie Pie. Twilight said in her most sincere voice, “As a princess I would like-“ She paused trying to recall Goten’s name, “Goten and Trunks to apologize and be mature friends.” Goten nodded slowly and looked at Trunks, who was looking back at him. “Yes ma’am.” They say in unison. Trunks lifted one arm with his hand shaped in a fist. Goten did the same and both boys crisscrossed their raised arms. Twilight was puzzled, “What a strange gesture.” Trunks lowered his arm and so did Goten they laughed. Pinkie sniffed, “What good friends, they have secret hoof shakes.” Twilight made a ‘really…’ face at Pinkie while saying, “It isn’t that hard and it isn’t that secret…” Pinkie Pie shrugged and giggled with Twilight. The laughter was interrupted by Goten’s and Trunks’ stomach. Pinkie said, “I’m hungry too!” Twilight looked back at the distant Ponyville, “We can’t go in town with these guys, everypony would FREAK OUT!” Pinkie nodded understandingly, “Like I did…” Twilight had an idea that either herself or Pinkie could go get some cakes and walk with them all the way here, or teleport. Twilight felt like a light bulb dinged on topped of her head. That’s it! I could just teleport them to my house! “Alright guys,” Everypony turned their head towards Twilight. “I could just teleport us to my house, it wouldn’t be that hard.” Goten grinned, “Since you’re a princess, does that mean your house is a castle!?” Trunks cooed, “That would be awesome!” Twilight chuckled nervously, “Well…umm…I sorta didn’t want to leave my friends in Ponyville, so I stayed in my tree library house.” Trunks and Goten groaned at the same time, “A TREE HOUSE?!” Pinkie Pie laughed, “I know right? The best place ever!” Trunks face palmed while Goten gave a very disappointed sigh. Twilight warned everypony and told them to be ready for anything. “Teleporting can be quite dangerous if you are not focused. So I advise everypony to be quiet for a second.” Pinkie Pie stood very still and tried not to laugh. Moments later a bright glow came from her horn and then expanded in a flash. Everypony disappeared and there were sparkles left in the spot they were all standing in. Spike was cleaning up the last of the books when suddenly a flash made him jump. Several books fell off the shelf and Spike moaned a bit. Twilight grinned proudly, “Welcome to the Golden Oak Library,”
