Another world, another story

"Twi!"

The sun shone through the stained windows, shining a multicolored light on Twilight's face, the purple mare groaned and flipped on to her stomach, placing a pillow on her head, she mumbled, " Five more minutes please."

Something grabbed the pillow off her head and threw it to one side, obviously thrown with irritation, as it hit the floor with a large 'thump'

"We can't have five more minutes, Twi. Today's important! The Princess has sent you a very important letter, there are even guards outside waiting for us!"

She recognized the voice, it was Spike, her baby dragon assistant. "Important letter... IMPORTANT LETTER?!" The mare without hesitation, jumped and landed on her four hooves, locating Spike, who was holding the letter. She teleported the letter to her front, unfurling it, reading its every word.

My dear Twilight,

There is more to a young pony's life than studying, so I'm sending you to supervise the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration in this year's location, Ponyville. And I have an even more essential task for you to complete, make some friends!

Twilight gave a sleepy look to the letter she had just read out, before glancing irritably to Spike, She teleported the letter to a nearby table. Before trotting back to the bed, trying to fall asleep again.

"Twi! What are you doing, we gotta go!" Spike said with a sense of urgency in his voice, almost having a tinge of excitement.

Twilight put her hoof to her face and lamented, "Spike, don't think you can fool me, I can remember every one of Princess Celestia's letters. Is this some kind of April Foals joke?"

Spike not knowing what the purple mare meant, tried his best to explain.

"Whaddya mean? It's important!"

Opening her eyes, in an attempt to roll them in annoyance. She realized something. The room she was in was a magestic blue, filled with books, just like the one in Canterlot. She looked around the room, it was similar to the one in Canterlot. Wait, no. It's exactly the same!

"Spike, why are we back in Canterlot?" Twilight said, getting out of bed slowly. Spike, with a worried and confused expression, touched the mare's head with his claw, asking if she was alright.

The purple mare retreated from his claw, pushing Spike away,"Of course I'm fine Spike. Things.. are just a little weird for me. Are you sure this is not a April Foal's joke?"

*****************************************

Stepping off from the chariot and giving her thanks to the two pegasus stallions. She turned to Spike and said confidently,"Well... It seems that we have gone back in time and has come back to this day where nightmare moon returns! SO far, everything has been like how I remembered it. If that is so... Pinkie Pie should be coming our way any moment..."

CRASH

Twilight opened her eyes to see what had crashed into her, lying on top of her was a yellow cotton candy maned, white pegasus whose cutie mark was of three balloons which shared the exact shade of purple as her eyes. Twilight, confused, that her hypothesis had gone wrong, looked at the white pegasus in shock.

"Oopsie Daisy! My bad!" The pegasus got up and helped Twilight back on her hooves.

"Twilight, talk to her! Maybe she has something interesting to talk about! Try!" Spike overwhelmed with anticipation, exclaimed.

"Uh, hello?" Twilight managed to get the words out of her mouth, with a huge sense of Déjà vu

The pegasus gasped and flew away leaving behind a trail of yellow.

Spike looked awkwardly at the trail of yellow, before turning to see Twilight's reaction, to his shock, she was just thinking, "Could my hypothesis be wrong?" Twilight said worriedly, with a hoof tapping her chin,"That mare did look alot like Pinkie Pie, and she exhibits the same reactions as Pinkie did." The purple mare mumbling to herself as she walked towards Sweet Apple Acres.

"You are weird today, Twilight..."The baby dragon furrowed his brows as he followed.

**************

Trotting to the main entrance of Sweet Apple Acres, Twilight turned to Spike once more before reaching the entrance," I really can't seem to put my hoof on it, but we really have been transported back in time! But I haven't any sign of the girls anywhere.." Spike just shrugged and said excitedly, whilst looking at a checklist,"Banquet Preparations; Sweet Apple Acres!"

Reaching the entrance, what Twilight expected came true.

"YEEEE HAWWW!"

An orange mare with golden locks tied into a braid, similar to her tail, galloped towards an apple tree, turning around to buck it with her two hind feet. Apples of green, red and darkened red fell into the buckets below. The orange mare finished her performance by crossing her right hoof over her left. On her flank was three red apples, alike to the ones in the buckets.

Twilight, excited to see her friend, dashed forward and hugged her," Applejack! Thank goodness it's you! I was starting to think I was in some alternate dimension!" Letting go, Twilight gave a smile of relief, relived to see a familiar face.

The mare pushed Twilight away with a unsure look on her face," How do ya know my name? Ah've never seen you before in Ponyville before. An what are ya talking about, what ahternate dimenshun thingy? Ah ya sick?"

"Tell me about it." Spike nudged Applejack.

"I dunno, Applejack. Where's your hat?" Twilight asked, looking at her friend's bare head.

"Whaddya mean? Ah've never had a hat before." Applejack looked at the purple mare as if she just came out from the local hospital.

"You see...," Twilight began to explain, but stopped upon looking at Applejack's clearly confused expression,"Nevermind. My name's Twilight Sparkle. Nice to meet you."

"Mighty fine to meet you too, Miss Twilight! Wanna stay and try our apple products?" From her first word to her last, Applejack shook Twilight's hoof as hard as she could.

Twilight knew what was coming, but feigned a smile and said,"Sure, what could go wrong?"
