"Uh, are you sure this spell isn't... another bad one Twi?" asked Rainbow Dash, worry in her tone.
"Of course I am! This spell will change everything!" responded Twilight.
Earlier that day, Twilight had found a teleportation spell in the Royal Canterlot Library. it was another unfinished Starswirl the Bearded spell, and Twilight thought it would allow teleportation to anywhere, no matter the distance.
"Ooh ooh, pretty!" squealed Pinkie Pie, looking with dopey awe at the now very bright purple magic coming from Twilight's horn.
"Uhm, i think i'm going to go..." muttered Fluttershy, not heard by any of the 5 other ponies.
"Here we go!" said Twilight, enthusiasm permeating her words.
She thought the spell would teleport them all the way to Canterlot from Ponyville. How great that would be! She could hand-deliver her letters on the magic of friendship to Princess Celestia every day!
Twilight's purple magic spread throughout the room, swirling around each member of the Mane 6. They were lifted a good 5 feet into the air, before vanishing in a flash of purple light.
Blinded by the immensely bright light for a few seconds, Rainbow Dash asked "Where are we? Did it work?"
The others shrugged, but Twilight answered, seeing their surroundings for the first time. "Girls? I don't think we're in Equestria anymore."

"Not in Equestria?" gasped Rarity "Whatever do you-" she stopped, now looking at the world around her. "Oh..." They were on a beach, with a jungle strangely starting about 30 meters to the right, and the ocean to the right.
"Oooh! The spell didn't work! I have no idea where we are!" Twilight said, punching the ground with her hoof in rage. She noticed something. Something strange...
"It's not your fault Twy, it was ah..." said Apple Jack, before being tuned out by Twilight, now focusing on the sand beneath her hooves. She hit the ground a few times, and noticed small cracks appearing in a roughly 1 by 1 meter square of the sand. The cracks grew bigger as she continued to beat the ground, until the sand disappeared, leaving an empty, perfect cube gone from the ground.
A miniature sand "block" was left in its place, floating a good few inches off the ground. "What the..." she gasped. She slowly bent down and picked up the little "block". Before she could study it, it disappeared. She thought about the sand "block”, wondering where it went, when suddenly, it appeared in her hand. “What the hay? Where did it-“She stopped mid-sentence when she realized her friends had been watching her study the ground for a good few minutes.
“Uh, Twi? Whatchu lookin at?” asked Applejack. “This sand. It’s… well, strange. It breaks off in small chunks, and the surrounding sand doesn’t even move or flow down into the hole.” “Cool! Lemme see!” said Rainbow Dash. She proceeded to punch the ground, in the same fashion Twilight had, and broke off a block of it. “Whoa!” The rest of the 6 did the same, Fluttershy albeit slower than the others. “Uhm, Twilight?” whispered Fluttershy. Twilight, studying their surroundings a bit more, ignored her.
“Twilight? It’s getting really dark” Twilight paid no attention to the yellow pegasus. “Um, Twi-“ Rarity interrupted her .“Twilight? It is getting very dark. Don’t you think we should go back now?”
“Dark? It’s still… What? It was morning 5 minutes ago! How the- Yes, back home. Ok, everypony gather round, I’m going to do the spell again and hopefully it will send us back.”
When the 5 of them had gathered around her, she started to will her horn to summon magic. But it wouldn’t obey. She huffed and tried again, but she couldn’t get any magic from her horn. “Strange! My magic doesn’t work here!” Rarity tried hers, to the same conclusion. “Neither does mine”
“Weelll, if we aren’t going home, we should probably find somewhere to spend the night” said Rainbow.
“Good idea Rainbow, but I don’t see any buildings or houses nearby”
“We could b-“ “Built one!” yelled Pinkie, overruling Fluttershy.
The 5 of them looked in the direction of Pinkie’s voice, and saw her in front of a small wooden house sitting on the beach.
“Pinkie? How did you- Never mind, good work.”
They walked through the door into the house, and were amazed at what Pinkie had done in the short time they were here.
The small house was about 20 meters wide and long, and about 5 meters tall. It was complete with beds, windows, and kitchen.
“Pinkie, where did you get the materials for this?” Twilight asked.
“I chopped down a tree!” said Pinkie, bouncing up and down.
“Now how in Equestria did you chop down ah tree?” exclaimed Applejack.
“I punched it down!” she responded.
“Wouldn’t that hurt your hoof?” AJ asked
“Nah, it’s easy! And the trees here levitate!” Pinkie responded
“I’m not even going to ask.” Sighed AJ.
“Well, I’m going to sleep” said Rarity, with a yawn. “I feel tired even though we just got here”
“Me too” said Fluttershy, with another small yawn.
So the 6 of them each got into their own little bed, and slept the night away. Literally.
“GOOD MORNING!” yelled Pinkie Pie, already in the Kitchen.
“Eh, wha? We just went to sleep…” questioned Twilight
“But I feel fit as a fiddle!” said AJ, kicking off her blanket.
“I made breakfast!” Pinkie said, bringing over 6 perfectly square strawberry cakes.
“Cake? For breakfast?” questioned Rarity. “You.. don’t happen to have an omelet with cheese, do you?”
“I have a fish!” Pinkie responded
“Uh, nevermind, cake is fine dear.”
After eating their cakes, the 6 of them went outside.
“Well, it seems like we’re going to be here for a while, at lease until Princess Celestia can come get us.” Twilight said
“We’ll have to survive.”
