          Fluttershy pressed the damp washcloth against Mitch's forehead. "There, there. Now doesn't that feel better?" Fluttershy said. Mitch nodded, his eyes closed. "What happened to you, dude?" Quentin asked, walking up to stand by Mitch. "I don't know, fisheh," Mitch replied, more awake than he had been, thanks to Fluttershy. "I was walking around on our server and I found something that looked like a Nether portal, only made of like marshmallows or something. Obviously I had to jump in, but when I got here I didn't see a portal back and I was, well, a pony. So I wandered around, and I found, like, a restaurant or something. After about ten cups of cider I don't really remember anything, except for being thrown out because I was maybe drunk?"

          Applejack frowned. "I only make that type of cider for very special occasions," she said. "Sweet Apple Acres hasn't made our alcoholic cider in over eight months! I don't know how that place had so much." Mitch smiled a bit. "Well, it was good, orange pony," he said, eyes still closed. "It was gooooood..."

          Fluffy rolled his eyes. "Well, you're stuck here with us for the time being so you might as well enjoy it," he said. Mitch opened his eyes and looked over at Applejack. "Hey, as long as she's here, I don't care," he said. "Say that again," Applejack snarled. Mitch grinned slyly. "Love ya." "Ah warned you, Mitch..."

          Meanwhile, in Ponyville, Twilight, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash had gathered together Jason, Sky, Ty, and Ant to teach them how to use their magic and wings. "So. If you wanna fly, first you need wings. So MOVE IT, ANT AND TY!" Rainbow said, shoving the Unicorns aside. "Fiesty," Ty said jokingly. Ant punched Ty, and Ty punched him back. Soon they were punching each other. "BREAK IT UP," Sky shouted. The two stopped and glared at each other.

          "Alright. Wings UP," Rainbow ordered. Sky and Jason unfolded their wings and held them up. Sky was grinning stupidly. "This is soooo majestic," he murmured to himself. "That doesn't make sense," Jason said, but he, too, was grinning. "And...DOWN!" Rainbow commanded.

          Jason started to flap his wings, but Sky just folded them again. "No, I mean...ugh...FLAP, SKY," Rainbow said. "I don't know howwwwww," Sky whined. Jason was now hovering a few inches off the ground and grinning from ear to ear. "Really," he said to Sky. "Really." "Aaaaaaaughhhhh, JASON HELP ME," Sky said. "No." "Yeah." "No." "Yeah." "NO." "YEAH." "OMIGOD NO!" "BUDDER!" "What?"

          Sky frowned and tried to flap his wings. After about five minutes of him squeezing his eyes shut and saying "FOR DA BUDDER" to himself, he managed to get a few inches above the ground. By this time, Jason was used to flying and was trying to clear some clouds under Rainbow Dash's watch. "HELP, SOMEBODY, HELP MEEEEEE," Sky exclaimed. He'd gotten a foot off the ground and suddenly fell back.  Rainbow Dash turned back to look at Sky. Glancing back at Jason, she shouted, "A LITTLE TO THE LEFT, JASON! YOU'RE DOING GREAT!" Then she sighed and face hoofed. "We've go a long way to go, Sky. A looooooong way."

          Twilight's horn glowed purple, and Rarity's glowed blue. "You won't master magic immediately. It's an art of sorts, and you'll get better with practice. So for now, we'll work on a simple spell: picking up an object and setting it down again," Twilight said. Ty picked up a rock with a fore hoof. "I can pick up a rock!" he said proudly. Ant face hoofed. "Oh...Kay...well, yes, we're very proud of you for...picking up a rock with your hoof," Twilight said. "But I'm talking about magic."

           "Focus on an object. Block out all distractions. Just. The. Object," Rarity said. Ant focused on the rock in Ty's hoof. A yellow-orange aura glowed around his horn, and the rock was enveloped in the glow as well. "Woah," Ant and Ty breathed. "Great work, darling! Ooh!" Rarity said happily. "Excellent. Now, imagine the rock floating in the air. Picture it flying up and hovering," Twilight coached.

            The rock moved, and rose into the air. "Great! Now picture it moving somewhere, and set it down." The rock moved over Ty's head, and the aura vanished, making the rock land on Ty's head. "OW, ANT," Ty said, rubbing his head with a hoof and taking the rock. Ant laughed. "Awesome!" Twilight said happily. "Now you try, Ty." Ty squeezed his eyes shut and tried to focus on something. A faint glow shone around his horn. It was green. As soon as it came, it sputtered out. "Cookies..." Ty murmured, licking his lips. The glow reappeared, brighter than before, and with a flash of green light, a cookie appeared in the air and hovered with the help of his magic. Ty opened his eyes. "Ooh, yay! I wished for a cookie and now I have a cookie!"

            Ty ate the cookie, and once he'd finished he said in a deep and very funny voice, "BOW DOWN TO ME, PEASANTS. I AM KING DEADLOX, MASTER OF MAGIC AND COOKIES, AND I WILL RULE THE WORLD!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Suddenly, Pinkie Pie appeared out of nowhere looking very mad. "WHO STOLE MY COOKIE?!"

            All the other ponies pointed a Ty, who shrunk back. "I only wanted a cookie..." he said meekly. "You will PAY for this..." Pinkie growled. Ty prepared to be destroyed by a cute, pink, fluffy pony, but the Pinkie smiled and said in her normal voice, "...that'll be 2 bits!" "Wat," Ty said, opening his eyes. "I don't know what bits are. Bits of pie? I don't have any pie, sorry, Pinkie." Twilight rolled her eyes and got out two circles from her saddlebag. "Here," she said, giving Pinkie the circles. "Thankies!" Pinkie said, and hopped away. "Wat," Ty said again. "Money," Ant said, shaking his head. "Always the money."

            "Sky, you don't--no, that's a building--seriously, dude, what--gahh!" Rainbow Dash said, dodging Sky. "HOW DO I STOOOOP?!" Sky exclaimed. "Careful--! Watch out for the Mayor! STOP!" Jason said, trying to catch up with his friend. "He's worse than Derpy," Rainbow muttered to herself, flying after light blue Jason and buttercup-yellow Sky. "Sky, just--land there!" she coached, putting on a burst of speed and landing on a tree in Sweet Apple Acres. "I CAN'T STOPP!" Sky yelled. He tried to stop but it was no use...he was coming in too fast...everything went black.
