Twilight's Library and What's Wrong With Mitch?

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

As the twelve ponies were making their way into Ponyville, they heard a loud noise behind the doors of a building and suddenly the doors swung open. Taken aback, the twelve all stared at the open doors. Out staggered a quite bewildered, light tannish colt wearing a white t-shirt and a plaid red and black unbuttoned shirt. He had a disheveled look and a short brown mane. After a few seconds of staring, the pony said, "Oh, hey, guys," and collapsed.

"Mitch?!" Sky exclaimed. "Oh my Celestia!" cried Fluttershy. "Is he okay?" Mitch groaned, lying face-down in the dirt. "He's okay," Jason said. "And don't come back!" shouted somepony inside the house. Mitch groaned again.

Twilight's horn began to glow an opaque sparkly purple, and Mitch's body also began to glow with the same purple. He was lifted up by it and set back down on his hooves. Ty gaped. "Wha--?" he asked. Twilight and Rarity gazed at him. "What? You're a Unicorn, too...haven't you used your magic before?" Rarity said. "No...?" Ty said. "Really, darlings? Two of you are Unicorns! You and Ant...venom..." Rarity said.

"Hold on, hold on, don't tell me that none of you Pegasi haven't flown, too," Rainbow Dash said. "What," Sky said. Then he looked around and found that Jason and Mitch had wings. "So...am I a Pegasus?" he asked. "Uh, yeah? You have wings," Rainbow said. Sky moved his shoulders and was startled by the light weight of wings. "Oh," he said, trying not to sound surprised. "Well, we're not from here, exactly, so...we don't know how to use our wings and magic," Jason said. Rainbow Dash and Rarity frowned. "Then we'll teach you," Twilight said kindly. Wow. They are weird, Twilight thought to herself.

Mitch groaned again, swaying on his hooves. "Oh, you poor thing," Fluttershy said. Twilight's magic was still holding Mitch up. Fluttershy trotted over to his side and let him lean on her shoulder. Applejack came over to help him too. "Heyyyyyy..." Mitch said in a slightly garbled tone. "Aw, sugar cube, don't talk," Applejack cooed softly. "Fluttershy, do you think you can help him?" Antvenom asked. Fluttershy nodded. "Yes...I think so..." she said in that quiet voice she had. "Even though I'm used to little creatures, not whole stallions..."

          "Well, Flutters, he's in no shape to go out on his own. How about you and Applejack take...Mitch, right? Yes, you take him to your cottage and fix him up. Um...uh..." Twilight was looking at two scallions who hadn't said a word. One was brown all over and extremely fluffy, and wore a suit. Another looked sort of like a fish but wasn't a fish. "Quentin," said the fish-pony. "Jerome. Or Fluffy. Either one!" said the fluffy one. "Yes. Jerome, Quentin, you can go with them and make sure your friend is okay." Twilight turned to the rest of Team Crafted. Sky was scratching the ground with his hoof, Ty was having a staring contest with Pinkie, Jason was looking around absentmindedly, and the others were looking at Twilight, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash.

          "The rest of you can come with me to my library. I don't know where you stallions are from or how you got here, but I intend to find out!" Twilight said. Sky moaned. "Awwww!" he whined. "But I don't wanna learn! Learning is boring!" Twilight glared at him and he shut up, hanging his head. "Just...follow me."

          Twilight's library was a large oak tree with some round windows in it. Twilight pushed open a wooden door and led Crafted and her friends inside. Sky went to the circle of the room and crouched down, looking at the bookshelves like they were going to leap out and attack him like VICIOUS MURDER DEMONS. "Learning...so...much...learning...I don't like it...JASON!" he said. "Shut up, Sky," Jason scolded, following Twilight to a desk. It had a piece of parchment, a quill, and a small container of ink on it. Twilight wrote something down on the parchment, holding her quill with her magic, then walked over to a bookshelf, stepping around the cowering stallion that was Sky. Rolling her eyes, Twilight looked to her left, then to her right. "Spike!" she called. A small, lizard-like creature came rushing down the steps panting. He was light purple with a green underbelly, green spikes, and green eyes. "Yes...Twilight..." he panted. "OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT," Sky shrieked, looking wide-eyed at Spike. "IS IT GOING TO STALK ME LIKE SLENDERMAN?! I HATE SLENDERMAN OH MY GOD IT'S GONNA KILL ME ISN'T IT--ooh look a budderfly! Budderfly, come here, little budderfly, who's a little majestic budder creature of majestic budder-ness? You are! Yes, yes you are!"

          Sky trotted off out the door following a yellow-winged butterfly. "Does he...do that often?" Twilight asked. "Pretty often, yeah. He has the attention span of a puppy in a roomful of distractions. So, yep," Ant said. "Oh...Kay...then...?" Twilight said. She shook her head. "Anyway, Spike, can you find me that one book I was reading ten years ago on the second?" she asked Spike. He nodded, and clambered up the bookshelf. Finally he pulled out a book and held it out. "The Complete and Thorough Guide to Other Dimensions and their Inhabitants?" he asked. "Yep, that's the one!" Twilight said. Spike climbed down again and handed Twilight the book, which she opened with her magic. "Screw the diamonds, I need to learn magic," Ty whispered to Ant. "Mm-hmm," Ant whispered back.

          "Okay...'m'...'m'...here we go...Minecraft. Yeah." Twilight read the passage aloud. "'Minecraft is a dimension far different from our own. The inhabitants are blocky creatures that walk on two legs and appear pixelated. They are usually charmingly naive and often try to crack jokes, however, they can also be serious. Minecraft is a square world with different biomes and many unique, interesting beings, like the Creeper: a green creature that explodes when touched.'"

          Twilight frowned. "Don't hug the Creeper, then."

           Crafted nodded.
