Chapters Fractured Fairy Tails: Twilight Sparkle in Wonderland
Ever wondered what would happen if the mane six could travel into different stories, and that they were not exactly like the stories you know? What if there was a twist to every story and they would never make you think the same thing before? What if there were Kings and Queens Pirates and Lost Ponies Mythical Creatures and more? Everypony, welcome to the Fractured Fairy Tails!
Part 1 - Twilight Sparkle in Wonderland
It was a beautiful day in Ponyville. It was nice enough to relax, have fun, and not worry about what would happen. Twilight Sparkle was thinking that when she was at a riverbed near Ponyville. She was reading a book in an Alice outfit Rarity made for her. A blue dress with a white apron, with white stockings for her back legs and black shoes for the back hooves, and a small black bow on the front of her mane. She sighed happily, enjoying the outdoors. Then a young dark blue alicorn with a red mane and tail named Shining Star walked over to her.
"Hi, Twilight! What're you readin' there?" he asked.
Twilight smiled at him and said, "I'm reading Alice in Wonderland."
Shining Star was amazed after hearing that. "That's a very classic book!"
"Sometimes I wish I was Alice, falling down the rabbit hole into Wonderland."
Shine nodded in agreement. "I would love to see that happen. It is such a good story. Going on in Wonderland would be really hard to do!" Twilight laughed softly. "So true," she replied. Shining Star suddenly nodded.
"Ever since Alice has been in Wonderland, Nopony knows if it still exists."
Twilight and Shine laughed for a moment then looked at each other. "Actually, that's not true. I know somepony that does." Shining Star sighed knowing she was right. "It would be a nice day for heading to Wonderland. I can imagine somepony as the Mad Hatter!" Twilight Sparkle didn't wanna guess on who could be who. She only knew it could happen if somepony was from that world and she would never even notice.
"So I'll see you later then Twilight," he said and walked back to Ponyville. He had important things to do with Rainbow Dash and Applejack. He wasn't sure if they were having a fun contest, or if they were competing against each other for BRAGGING RIGHTS. Either way, he walked happily through the town until he saw a curious sight. It was Rainbow Dash with dark aqua stripes on her body, smiling like nothing was happening. "Follow me, young colt." She then flew off. Shining Star decided to follow her and flew with her.
Twilight Sparkle yawned suddenly and felt as though she was going to fall asleep. Pull yourself together Twilight, this is not the time to fall asleep. But she fell asleep anyways. She had an uneasy feeling as well like she thought something around her was changing.

You'll be seeing Shining Star through some parts of the story. Pay attention, he could appear in Chapter 1!
Fractured Fairy Tails: Twilight Sparkle in Wonderland
Twilight woke up a few minutes later and felt as though something around her did change. Wh-what happened? Did I fall asleep? Did I get knocked out? What's going on? She suddenly went back to read her book when she noticed a few things changed in it. The characters then looked awfully familiar. Huh!? I don't remember them being in there! She shook her head. "I must be hallucinating..." But when she looked back, the pages were still the same. She gasped and suddenly closed the book."What's going on?"
Suddenly, she saw Fluttershy running like there was no tomorrow. "Why is Fluttershy wearing an orange coat and rabbit ears... while carrying a watch?" she asked herself as Fluttershy paused to pull out her watch.
Fluttershy looked ahead of her. There was the occasional duck or rabbit that would cross her path, but what was in front of her initially was a stampede of rabbits. She tapped one hoof on the ground impatiently. Twilight was about to remind her she had wings, but before she got the chance the stampede ended. Only one rabbit left behind was trying to hop to the group and took only ten to twenty seconds to get passed Fluttershy. Then she ran off. "I can't be late now...!" she said. Twilight suddenly shook her head in confusion and decided to find out what she was late for. Without thinking of where she might be going, she ran after her.
They soon got to a point in the Everfree Forest that even Twilight doesn't know where in the forest she is. Fluttershy turned a corner and went down a rabbit hole saying, "Sorry for not introducing myself..."
Twilight wasn't sure on what she exactly meant by that, but she started looking at the rabbit hole. How curious. Why would Fluttershy fall down a rabbit hole? Is there something I don't know? She did say she was late. But for what? Only one way to find out. Twilight slowly looked down at the rabbit hole and then one of her hooves accidentally slipped as she fell right in it.
She thought about screaming from how fast she was falling but her fall slowed after a few seconds. Curious. That's not supposed to happen, she thought observing what was around her. She could see old pictures hanging on both sides of the hole and shelves with books, jars, and dishes. She picked out a book thinking something interesting was in it. Only one page had writing on it. "Today is a gift. Be happy you're living in it." Twilight blushed because she knew it was true. She quickly put it back on another shelf.
I don't get it. Today went like normal until I passed out. If only I knew what was going on I could understand everything that is going down. Maybe everything will be better when I get to the bottom of this hole... Wait, shouldn't I be at the center of Equestria by now?
It felt like an hour passed when it was barely two minutes! She heard a loud crash down below followed by Fluttershy's voice. "I got to run if I want to make it on time...! ... ... ... Where's the key for this door...?" she heard Fluttershy say.
Twilight looked down to see how long the rabbit hole is. All she saw were paintings and shelves, going on endlessly. But then she saw the end approaching her. She sighed in relief and opened her wings up. She softly touched the ground with all four hooves and walked down a hallway to a door the size of her, closing her wings back up in the process. "Where in Equestria will this lead to?" she asked. She checked to see if it was unlocked. To her luck, it was. She fully opened the door and walked into another room. "Big question is, Where Am I?"
Twilight looked around. All she saw were blue walls, a red ceiling, and a gray floor. Something did get her attention. She quickly ran over to a red curtain. Pulling it back, she saw a door that can only fit her hoof. "How curious..." Twilight sighed, turned, and then saw a glass table. "I don't remember that being there," she said. Twilight went over to it and then saw a glass bottle on it.
A tag on it in big lettering showed the words Drink Me . There was no warning label on the tag. Twilight Sparkle thought cautiously. Maybe if I drink it, it could make me small enough to fit through the door...! Twilight grabbed the bottle with her telekinesis and only drank HALF of what was in it. She placed the bottle back on the table. At first there was no effect, but soon Twilight started shrinking and only stopped when she was the same size as the door. "Now I know what a candle feels like..." Twilight said as she stopped shrinking. She looked up at what was now a giant table and realized a key was on top of it.
"Great," Twilight said, annoyed. "Now I know the door is locked." Her horn lit up like she was about to teleport, yet nothing happened. Twilight lowered her ears as she now tried to open her wings. There was some type of force that was holding her back from reaching the key like she would normally do. "What can I do now?" Twilight covered her mouth because she saw a glass box when she looked down. "I do remember that was not there either..."
She looked closely inside and saw a cookie with the words Eat Me sprinkled on them. "Maybe this will let me reach the key," she said, flipping open the top of the box. She grabbed the cookie and thought, If the drink made me smaller, perhaps this'll make me grow larger.
She took a bite out of it and instantly started getting bigger by the minute. Twilight sighed in relief but then her head hit the ceiling. "That's more than I expected!" She suddenly had to sit down, having one back hoof press against the door and her tail stuck in between her back and a wall. She then stopped growing. "Oh dear, that's a bit too much for me. I didn't know that cookie's effect was really strong." She looked down, noticing that the bottle still has some of its liquid inside. She sighed in relief. "Alright, first I better grab the key." Twilight grabbed the key and put it in her pocket and then grabbed the drink. "Now I should return to the size of that door." She gulped down what was left of it and shrank back down to the size of the door.
She stood back up and walked back to the door. Twilight inserted the key into it and unlocked it. She opened the door only to be greeted by a sea of water right in front of her. She could see Fluttershy trying to swim to shore. "Got... to... Keep... Going... Must...! Get...! To...! Castle...!"
Fractured Fairy Tails: Twilight Sparkle in Wonderland
Twilight Sparkle hesitated for a moment, not sure about what to do, before she jumped into the water and swam after Fluttershy. "Um... are you heading for dry land?" Fluttershy asked.
Twilight nodded. "Yeah, do you think you can help?"
"Sure...! Stay with me. Oh, um, my name's Rabbitshy by the way..."
That's a really odd name, Twilight thought to herself. Why would she have a name like that? The two swam for what felt like two or three minutes before finding anypony else there. It was Shining Star swimming with somepony in the form of Derpy Hooves. "We might almost be there thanks to you my friend." Derpy smiled from what she heard. Shining Star then suddenly looked at Twilight and said, "TWILIGHT!?"
Derpy replied, "You know that pony?"
"Yeah. The two of us lived in the same area!"
"LOVE!" Derpy yelled out and then laughed. "Ignore her," Fluttershy said, disgusted. "She is sort-of like a joker sometimes..."
"I can tell," Twilight replied. "What is it like here?"
"Well, um... I guess you can say you will never know what would happen next... Expect the unexpected here is my advice around here..." Soon enough, the reached the shore. Fluttershy and Shining Star looked at their wet tails. "How are we gonna dry off?" somepony asked, reaching the shore. Another pony said, "Yeah, this is so not good for my health," and sneezed on a third pony. "Ew! Gross!" Derpy suddenly got up on a rock and said, "Everypony relax! There is one way to get dry here!"
"You don't mean--?"
"A Caucus Race! Yes!" Twilight and Fluttershy just looked at each other. Shining Star was the first to get excited, "A race? Really?! This should be so interesting!" He got a few other ponies hyped-up for it. "Everypony set!" Derpy said as flags rose from the sand. Twilight went to one, Fluttershy went to another, Shining Star, went to the flag in between them, and the other three ponies took the remaining three. Twilight thought, Just follow Shining Star, and you'll be alright. Derpy got out a whistle.
TWEEEEEEET! "Go!" The six ponies ran to each flag in order. Shining Star decided not to pass anypony nor go at his top speed. Was he purposely doing that? Derpy could only see a streak of red for where Shining Star would be. Fluttershy looked back at him once or twice and got a strange feeling about him. Twilight Sparkle sighed knowing what she was thinking.
Derpy then said, "Feelin' a little less wet?" Shining Star shook his head. "From top to bottom I feel as though I did not dry one bit. Well, we can make an exception for the tail, but still."
"It's probably because you aren't running as fast as normal," Twilight muttered.
"You know me way too well for my own good."
Fluttershy then sped off like a cheetah. (She is still late.) Twilight then followed. Shining Star stayed with the group saying, "Not yet! Floor it!" He and the other three sped up a bit more. If anypony asks what I was doing, I'll say I had Gone Racin'! He squeed happily.
Fractured Fairy Tails: Twilight Sparkle in Wonderland
Twilight Sparkle walked into a field with no trees anywhere but around the area. In the center, she could see a house, two stories high. It was blue with white accents and a gray roof. Who could live there? she thought, and to her luck it was Fluttershy, just sitting near the front entry way, tapping her hoof impatiently. Twilight walked over to the house, curious on knowing what's going on.
Her sightseeing of the house just ended right when she saw that, because Fluttershy saw her coming. "Oh, you've got perfect timing, now please! Help! I can't be ready without my gloves and fan!" Fluttershy said, scared.
"You can count on me!" Twilight replied.
"Oh, thank you!" Fluttershy then opened the door for Twilight.
She walked in heading upstairs. How strange, usually Fluttershy doesn't ask for help... Next thing I know, her pet Angel will start ordering everyone around... Twilight got into Fluttershy's room and started looking around. She looked a plate with 12 or 13 cookies. I really shouldn't, but she'll probably not notice... Wait... maybe this will have a different effect. Maybe I can shrink down and see if the gloves and fan are under her bed.
So she ate one, not knowing what it would truly do. So she looked inside a trunk and easily found them. But suddenly Twilight started growing at a rapid pace. "Oh no, not this again!" She had to sit to keep her neck safe, though she was quickly running out of room. She let her back hooves slide down towards the first floor and exit the doors outside as her front hooves filled two windows opposite of each other. Luckily she stopped growing, but she felt slightly uncomfortable. "I gotta stop trying those Eat Me cookies. Will I ever remember though?" She then tried to look outside from the window in front of her and gasped when she saw that she pushed Fluttershy into a brick wall from her rapid growth.
"Rabbitshy! Are you okay?" she asked.
Fluttershy weakly pushed herself away from the wall and said to herself, "I forgot to take those cookies off the plate... Note to self: stop using eat me cookies..." Then she turned around and said to the stuck giant, "Don't worry, I know two friends who might help you get out...!" She quickly ran off to find them, whistling some sort-of dramatic stinger.
Twilight started feeling slightly drowsy after all the odd things happening to her. How long has it been since I fell down the rabbit hole? she thought to herself. Ten or fifteen minutes? Everything is happening quite fast as of now... It is a bit tiresome... A few moments later, she saw Fluttershy appear followed by her two friends. They were Derpy and Spike, and they were walking towards her!
"Whoa, love the new decor," Derpy said.
"I didn't do that," Fluttershy replied.
"Are you saying it grew legs of a pony?"
"I don't think so, but can you two help my friend out?"
"Certainly." Derpy then handed over a ladder to Spike. He couldn't grip it in time and it accidentally fell on him. "You okay Spike?"
"I'm okay, just off with my timing today." Twilight suddenly used her magic to get the ladder off of Spike. He got up and grabbed the ladder. "Thanks." Spike set up the ladder and climbed to the roof.
Derpy said afterwards, "Give her this!" and threw a Drink Me bottle to Spike. He caught it in time and tucked it away into his coat pocket.
"Okay, now go down the chimney and give that to her," Fluttershy said.
Spike got scared for a moment, knowing how risky it could be, and then got into the chimney hanging on to the edge. "I don't like this at all, Rabbitshy," Derpy then said.
"Don't worry Derpy, he'll be fine..." Fluttershy said calmly only to see a worried Derpy Hooves. "Sorry, I just worried when you told me not to," she replied.
Spike sighed and then said confidently, "This should be easy. I'm payed a ruby for every time I do this."
Twilight looked at the chimney and thought, Easy there Spike, you're alright. Stay calm and be careful. Spike let go of the edge and landed real hard at the end filling the room with dust. Twilight could feel her nose being tickled from the dust. "Ah, ah, ah..." She let her ears lower as she blushed slightly embarrassed. Outside, Fluttershy and Derpy started getting scared and quickly tried to seek refuge. The two ended up diving behind Twilight's bottom right hoof. "Ah, ah, ah, aah, aCHOO!" Twilight's sneeze caused the dust to move away from her as she blew Spike out of the house. Despite the amazing airtime he caught, he soon dropped back down the chimney and landed badly.
Spike coughed for a few seconds and then got into the same room as Twilight. "Somepony warn me next time that happens," he said.
"Sorry Spike, but it bothered my nose so much," Twilight replied.
"Eh, happens every time. I get used to it after a while."
"You do?" she asked, puzzled.
"Yeah, there were a number of times I was sent flying off into the distance. Too many to count though..." Spike then got out the potion from his coat pocket. "Here, this might help you get back to normal." He gave Twilight the potion by throwing it to her. She caught it with her mouth and drank the liquid inside. She soon shrank back to her normal size.
"Thanks Spike," she said, sighing in relief.
"Glad to help ya, young mare."
Twilight quickly grabbed the gloves and fan and walked out of the house and gave them to Fluttershy. Fluttershy quickly put the gloves on her front hooves and put the fan in a waistcoat pocket. "Thanks, whoever you are..."
"Twilight."
"Thanks Twilight, I could've been later than I am if you were not here... See you later...!" Fluttershy then ran off chanting, "No time to say goodbye, hello, I'm late I'm late I'm late!"
Twilight let her run. She wanted to explore more of the world she's in. "Hey Derpy, where exactly am I?"
"Wonderland."
Twilight blushed knowing this and then started walking off. "Thanks for telling me you two, I'll see you later!" she said.
Spike watched her walk off until he finally said, "Could she be the one?"
Fractured Fairy Tails: Twilight Sparkle in Wonderland
Twilight Sparkle walked down a narrow path, thinking about all the odd things that have happened to her in Wonderland. She peered through a bush to see a light blue pony lying on a mushroom. Twilight recognized her first thing. Trixie. What was she doing here? Twilight approached her. Trixie was blowing letters into the air. "A, E, I, O, U. U, E, I, O, A." Twilight was watching what Trixie was doing. Finally, Trixie looked at her. "whO, aRe, yoU?"
"I'm Twilight Sparkle."
"what do yoU do for a living?" Twilight thought for a moment. "I do KNOT know what yoU aRe trying 2 tell me," Trixie said.
Twilight asked, "Are you sure you know what I'm thinking?"
"I can read your mind someTIMEs."
"Oh. Who are you?" Trixie thought for a moment. "I'm Trixie, the all knowing of Wonderland." Twilight thought she was joking for a few seconds, and then she knew she wasn't. "Can you help me find out more about this place?"
"Y?"
"Everypony in this land is CRAZY!"
"O. I can help yoU. But first do you know how you got here?" Twilight recalled when she first got to Wonderland. "I do C." Trixie then looked at Twilight once more. "aRe yoU an Alicorn?" Twilight sighed because the obvious was pointed out. "I am," she said confidently. Trixie jumped off the mushroom. "That just makes me sad. I do believe I have seen you." She used a flashback spell and saw the duel between her in Equestria and Twilight. "That duel. I remember that time..." Twilight gasped. "So it was you, the one that saved her from that amulet."
Twilight smiled shyly. "Well," she started.
"Please, not another word," Trixie said cutting her off. "I had the same experience, someone had to save me once before as well."
Twilight then said, "So what will you help me with?"
"Oh!" Trixie replied, "The mushroom. One side will make you taller, the other shorter. The right of me is the tall side, the other, the short side. That's all I know." Trixie then teleported to another location leaving Twilight with the mushroom.
"After all that has happened, should I really be changing my size all the time?" Twilight asked herself. She picked off one piece of each side. "I bet it won't hurt to see if she's right." She bit off a small piece of the right side expecting herself to grow. She did, but not enough to get her trapped in the trees. She heard a few birds flying away from what happened. "Oh dear, that's large enough." She could feel her head pressing against a branch which she thought caused her to stop growing. She sighed in relief when she found out about it.
A pigeon then looked down at Twilight from where it was standing. "Oh no, more of these animals! I thought they couldn't try to get to me up here."
Twilight looked up at the pigeon. "Please excuse me," she said. "I mean no harm to you, but it sure is weird hearing a bird talking to a pony like this."
"Anything goes when you put your mind to it," it replied, "I thought you knew that already."
"It is just unheard of from where I'm from."
"I'm sure it is." As the pigeon flew off Twilight could faintly hear it say, "Seeing as though it is your first time in Wonderland."
She sighed and looked back at the mushroom pieces she has. "Now Trixie did say the other side makes me shorter. I don't know if this is a trap." Trixie then returned, shocked at the now giant Twilight Sparkle.
"I promise, the effects are as I said!" she called out to her. Twilight nodded, biting off a small piece of the other side. She returned to her original size. "This might come in handy later," she said as she put the mushroom pieces in her pockets. Trixie then used her magic to show a path to Rainbow Dash. "Thank me later, I have other things to do," she said walking off. Twilight smiled and walked down the path. Where could this lead to? she thought.

Fractured Fairy Tails: Twilight Sparkle in Wonderland
Twilight Sparkle was now following the path to them while looking at the signs. This way, that way, up, down, follow this, no follow this, turn back, beware of forks. My, what strange signs. She chuckled for a moment and then heard Rainbow Dash's voice rhyming poetically.
"'Twas Brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: all mimsy were the borogoves and the mome raths outgrabe."
Twilight Sparkle suddenly looked up at the striped Rainbow Dash who was on a branch of a tree nearby. Shining Star was there too, looking right at Twilight as she came into view. Twilight suddenly looked around the area. "Lose something?" asked Rainbow Dash smiling at Twilight.
She suddenly looked up at Rainbow Dash. "Uh, no, I was just wondering."
"Oh, that's quite alright."
Shining Star then said, "Are you lost Twilight?"
"No," she replied.
Shining Star sighed. "Well I am..."
Rainbow Dash flew over to Twilight. "I'm Cheshire Dash, Twilight. What brings you to my tree?" she asked her.
"I just wanted to ask you which way I should go."
"That depends on where you wanna get to. If it doesn't matter, then it won't matter which way you go." Rainbow Dash's advice gave Twilight an idea. Then she added, "If you'd really like to know, she went that way," and pointed in two directions.
I would know if a pony done the split, but that's ridiculous! Two ways? Shining Star thought with a shocked look on his face.
"Who did?" Twilight asked.
"Rabbitshy," Rainbow replied.
"She did!?" Shining Star said amazed.
"She did what?"
Shining Star facehoofed himself. "You did just tell us Rabbitshy went in two directions..."
"Oh... If I was looking for Rabbitshy though, I'd ask Pinkie Hatter and Apple Hare," Rainbow Dash said.
Twilight Sparkle smiled and then replied, "I'll go visit them."
"Be careful! They're 120%... MAD."
"But I don't do well around MAD ponies."
"You can't help that. EVERYPONY is mad here. I'm mad, you're mad, he's mad, we're all... MAD."
Twilight looked at her in disbelief. "How do you know I'm mad?"
"Well, you're here aren't you? If you never came here, you never would've been mad to begin with. It is as simple as that."
"Well if the ponies are like that, I'll try not to upset them..." Twilight Sparkle said to herself.
Shining Star went up to her and said, "I'm coming with you Twilight." She smiled hearing that and started heading to Pinkie's house. Shining Star followed close behind her. Rainbow Dash flew up to the sky as a guide for the two ponies. Twilight was happy to have her friends back her up. She decided when she saw Celestia again, she'll tell her about the amazing adventure she was on. That is, if she could.
"So, Twilight, it was a coincidence finding you here with me in this world," said Shining Star. "I was wondering if we could spend some time with the others later."
Twilight smiled and replied, "Sure thing, Star."
Shining Star felt so happy. His green eyes shined real bright and then went normal after a few seconds.

Seven - The Mad Tea Party
The three finally reached Pinkie's house. "How curious," Twilight managed to say. Rainbow Dash flew back down to the ground to walk the rest of the way. "This is it, ponies." They could see Pinkie Pie and Applejack having the time of their lives with Derpy, Spike, Dazzle, and Bloom. "So then TIME would never do a thing for me again. It is always five o'clock here!" Pinkie Pie said.
"Yeah, it was a really weird day," Applejack replied. "I still have flashbacks..."
Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, and Shining Star walked over to them. "Hi, Twilight!" Bloom said, recognizing Twilight Sparkle easily.
Pinkie Pie and Applejack turned to them. "No room! No room! Turn back!" they said in unison quickly.
"Really? I can see a few empty chairs over there," Shining Star inquired. "In fact, I think this table was meant for more than," he paused to count the number of ponies (plus Spike) in his view, "six."
Rainbow Dash looked at the table and added, "Yeah, even the table is set up in the same way."
"Oh, Cheshire Dash, what a pleasant surprise," Pinkie Pie said trying to change the subject. "But... who's the dark blue pony?"
"Shining Star, at your service," he replied. "But who are you two?"
"I'm Pinkie Hatter, and this is my closest friend, literally and figuratively, Apple Hare."
"Why don't you have a seat you three?" Dazzle politely offered. Twilight, Shine, and Rainbow Dash sat down in three of the available seats.
Pinkie Pie took a sip of some tea before pouring some into some of the tea cups. "We're celebrating our un-birthdays today if you didn't know ponies."
Twilight Sparkle was confused. "Hatter, I don't understand what you mean."
Applejack quickly interjected, "It is very simple. You know how there's one birthday every year right? Well count all the rest and you get 364. Which is why we're gathered here to celebrate."
"Oh! I get it now!"
Pinkie Pie then whispered to Twilight, "Let's try and keep it between each other."
"Sorry, what'd you ponies say?" Rainbow Dash asked.
Pinkie Pie laughed. "Nothing at all Cheshire Dash." Dash shot a look at her like she was saying I'm watchin' you, Hatter.
Twilight Sparkle drank a bit of her tea. Shining Star then said, "So Hatter, I was thinking. I couldn't find any logic to the word never other than the original meaning. Got any ideas?"
"How about replacing the second E with an A and then reversing it to spell Raven?" Derpy replied. "Good idea Derpy, I never thought of that before." Derpy bowed. "MORE TEA?" Applejack asked. Shining Star held out his teacup nicely along with Spike and Rainbow Dash. "Try not to make mine iced," Spike requested. "So, who's this time you talked about?" Shining Star asked Pinkie Pie.
"Oh, it all happened when I was playing a part for the Queen's musical. It was a little hard to perform, but I was singing real well...Twinkle, Twinkle, little bat how I wonder what you're at Up above the world you fly, like a tea tray in the sky. 'STOP! STOP! We're losing time! Take her away!' Then Time, he decided to stop working with me and my watch stays the same every day. So then TIME would never do a thing for me again. It is always five o'clock here! Which is why we never have time to do the dishes."
Twilight Sparkle then said, "Oh dear, I'm glad you're okay."
Shining Star drank a bit of his tea. "That is strange to the max." Then he thought, Wait, Time's a HE!?
Pinkie Pie suddenly grabs the small plate under her tea cup and starts dipping it in her tea. "Now, I heard you were seeking some... excuse me..." Pinkie Pie took a bite out of the plate. "... you were seeking some information of some kind."
Twilight Sparkle nodded and said, "I'm looking for somepony with an orange waistcoat and a pocket watch."
Applejack then replied, "We seen her a few seconds ago. I NEED A CLEAN CUP!" Everypony at the table then moved one seat clockwise. "She might be comin' back any moment. Hey Pinkie Hatter? Know any good riddles?"
Pinkie Pie nodded and asked, "Why is a Raven like a Writing Desk?" Twilight Sparkle started thinking for a moment. "Good question..."
Derpy and Rainbow Dash were very clueless, but Bloom and Dazzle thought Spike knew the answer. Spike did not. Applejack had a funny idea with a Raven with writing all over it. Nopony there knew the answer. Twilight Sparkle finally shrugged and said, "I haven't the slightest idea."
"Nor I," said the others.
"Then, why'd you ask?" Twilight interjected.
Pinkie Pie rolled her eyes. "Oh, just thought one of you ponies knew."
Shining Star then turned his head and saw Fluttershy running to them. "I am so late... Why...?" she said.
Pinkie Pie then said to her, "You're saying, you're late?"
Applejack included, "Let's see your watch." Fluttershy gave it to them. Pinkie Pie looked at the watch and said, "This watch is EXACTLY 2 days slow!" Everypony else but Twilight gasped. A watch that slow? But... how?
"Of course you're late. Let me fix the problem. Butter!" Applejack put a whole stick of butter in the watch. "Tea!" Rainbow Dash, as if on cue, accidentally spilled her tea onto the watch. "I'll get you more! Sugar, 2 spoons." Bloom literally gives Pinkie Pie 2 spoons. She then shoves them in the watch. "Jam!" She then puts a lot of jam into the watch.
"Is it gonna jam it?" Twilight Sparkle asked. The ponies laughed real hard hearing that, even Fluttershy.
"Don't be silly Twilight," Pinkie Pie replied. "Lemon!" She then got out a lemonade container. "Not exactly what I was looking for, but I guess it will do for now." She poured cold lemonade onto the watch and closed it up. The next thing that happens is everypony hears a ticking noise in the watch.
"WHAT THE--!?" The watch exploded with butter and jam flying everywhere and the ponies ran from it to keep from being harmed. "You might wanna get a new one," Twilight finally said to Fluttershy.
"Yeah... Such a drag..." Fluttershy then ran off. Twilight ran after Fluttershy to see where she was going. Rainbow Dash flew up to the sky and followed Twilight Sparkle.

Fractured Fairy Tails: Twilight Sparkle in Wonderland
Eight - The Queen's Castle
Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy got totally lost in Wonderland with no idea on which way is north. Rainbow Dash saw the whole thing and flew back down to the ground. "Lost your way?" she asked the two. Twilight Sparkle nodded. Her curiosity got the better of her, and she didn't heed the warning Bloom and Dazzle told her. She suddenly sat down near a tree, exhausted. "This world is totally mad. I don't even know half of what's going on!" she said, voice cracking softly.
"I can relate..." Fluttershy said. "The Queen will be so furious when she sees me as late as I am with no watch...!" Rainbow Dash finally said, "Ponies, calm down! I know a quicker way to get to her castle!"
"You do?" Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy asked at the same time, forgetting their troubles in the strange forest. "Yes I do! It would be 20% Faster!" Rainbow Dash then pulled a branch, and a tree opened up like a door and the castle was shown. Twilight Sparkle thanked her and then walked into a maze similar to the one she went through during the battle with Discord. Could Discord be the king? she thought. Rabbitshy pulled ahead of Twilight and asked, "Um, may you follow me Twilight?" She did follow her and Fluttershy led Twilight to one side of the castle. Twilight looked through the entrance. No guards. Just two ponies with paint buckets... Wait a minute those two look familiar! And they were! Two of the Cutie Mark Crusaders dressed in red! Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle!
Twilight ran over to them to see what they were doing. The two were heading over to a White Rose tree. They got the brushes ready and started painting. Fluttershy could understand what was going on. "This is ridiculous," Sweetie Belle finally said. "But I know what would happen if we didn't do this!" Scootaloo replied. "Just stop splashing small amounts of paint on me."
"My apologies, Sweetie Belle." Twilight looked over at Sweetie Belle and said, "What exactly are you doing?"
"Huh? Oh. Well the fact is, we planted White Roses by mistake and the Queen likes them, red. If she saw white instead, she'll have us imprisoned in her chamber for a week!"
"Oh dear," Twilight replied. Then they heard what sounded like trumpets playing a simple fanfare, soon followed by a whole orchestral piece. Fluttershy was leading a march over to the three. "Everypony, the great majesty, Red Rarity, has returned..." Fluttershy said. Then she added, "and the king..." Rarity was the second to lead, followed by Discord, who then suddenly puts a Chocolate Raincloud above Fluttershy, and finally 21 ponies in 2 lines. When the march ended, Rarity said, "Stand by! Count off!" So the ponies stepped apart from each other as the others watching called their numbers in time. "1, 2, 3, 4 5 6 7 8 9 10, Jack!" Rarity then walked over to Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. "Why are you painting the roses red?"
"We couldn't let you see the White Roses," Sweetie Belle admitted. Paint dripped from one rose and Twilight stepped away from it so it doesn't drip down her mane. "You were careless you two! That's what you are! Take them to the dungeon!" Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle seized at this opportunity and ran off to another place in Wonderland.
Twilight then looked at the Queen and the Queen looked at her. "Who are you?" Rarity asked Twilight, then Discord flew over to her and said, "Let's have a look. It is definitely not from around here. Might be a lost pawn." Rarity interjected, "No, looks more like a little pony." Discord laughed at her because they knew it was only an alicorn that couldn't hurt them in any way. He suddenly makes a Pepsi form in his right hand. "But you do have a point. A pawn doesn't usually wear a dress like that." And to think this is crazy, they'll think I am, Twilight thought.
Rarity walked over to her. "What's your name, little girl?"
Twilight blushed for a moment. "I'm, Twilight Sparkle your majesty." Rarity smiled. And I thought I was beautiful, look at her, she thought to herself. "Where are you heading off to?"
"I'm looking for a way to..." Before she could finish, Rarity cut her off. "A WAY!? Everypony knows all ways are MINE and not the HIGHWAY!" Twilight suddenly felt fear rise up in her. "I-I-I didn't mean to make you mad."
"Do not worry, Twilight. Hey, I'll show you a way to my game spot, if you know how-to play HORSE." Twilight was silent for a moment and then nodded. She thought it was that horseshoe game Rainbow Dash and Applejack played back in Ponyville.
Her thought was off the scale.
Fractured Fairy Tails: Twilight Sparkle in Wonderland
Rarity, her 21 ponies, Discord, Fluttershy, and Twilight Sparkle walked over to an open field. There was one pole stuck in the ground. Then it is Horseshoe! The 3 of Hearts gladly gave the 2 eight horseshoes, four for each. Rarity got the red, while Twilight had blue to match her dress. Discord suddenly made the area's grass turn into a chessboard style area.
Shining Star suddenly appeared in between the two. He understood that a game was going on, but he really couldn't help but be in the action! Rarity went first and just missed the pole by a yard, literally. "Whoops. My bad!" Twilight was next, so she threw hers. But, instead of being closer, it came back like a boomerang. She ducked and the horseshoe hit Shining Star in the face. "Owy!" Shining Star suddenly gasped. "That was not supposed to happen." Rarity nodded in agreement. "When do horseshoes act like boomerangs?"
Rarity threw her second and it was closer than the first. Was this game rigged from the start? Discord thought Rarity was making Twilight lose in her favor. Twilight's second throw had the same effect. This time it hit a tree and made a painted rose fall. Rarity had a smug smile. Those two ponies are in a mix of trouble. She threw her third and it was one foot away from the poll. Twilight gave her third throw a light one, but it still had the same effect, hitting Shining Star in the process. "NOT AGAIN! WHY MUST THIS HAPPEN!? Sorry, there was just too much pain on me today..." She thought about giving up, but Discord thought enough was enough. He went over to Twilight and whispered, "Throw the other way."
Shining Star happened to hear and was about to tell Rarity. He quickly covered his mouth. Discord suddenly gave him a milkshake that he randomly spawned. Shining Star happily drank it.
Twilight thought that Discord was right and decided to do it on her final throw. Rarity threw her final horseshoe and it set a new record for how far someone can throw a horseshoe. It was off by 20 yards. "Get somepony to record that onto the Wonderland Records." Twilight turned away. "Something wrong?" Rarity asked.
"You win," Twilight lied, throwing the last one lightly. She ducked once more, and it hit the poll and stayed on it. Everypony clapped for her. Rarity blushed knowing that Twilight figured it out. "Great job, Twilight."
"Thanks." But this moment only lasted a few seconds. Fluttershy made a trumpet blast and said, "There have been reports of an item mysteriously missing...! Can you call a trial on somepony...? If that's okay with you..." The ponies ran frantic accusing each other of this problem. The only one in the 21 that didn't was the Jack. The other 20 looked at him. Then they accused him! He knew he cannot run from them and just stood there silently, not a single movement, not blinking...
"On Trial!" Rarity ordered. And there was much rejoicing.
Fractured Fairy Tails: Twilight Sparkle in Wonderland
It has been three or four minutes before the trial could officially start. Fluttershy had to get the evidence ready, Rarity tried to look real beautiful, Twilight Sparkle and Shining Star sat next to each other, and the jury was too busy talking to notice. "Silence in the Court!" Rarity ordered. "Show the accused!" The Jack of Hearts looked awfully familiar to Twilight, though she can't recall who. Discord put a Chocolate Rain cloud under him. "Read the Current Evidence!"
Fluttershy unrolled a scroll and read it aloud. "The Royal Baker made a dozen tarts and put them on a tray to cool. He then went back and found out one went missing..." She rolled it back up. "We have three witnesses..."
"Call the first witness!" Discord demanded for Rarity. It was Applejack, drinking tea from a cup. "What do you know about this unfortunate moment?" Rarity asked.
"Nothin'," Applejack quickly replied.
"Nothing Whatever!?"
"NOTHING WHATEVER!!! I mean if I knew, I would've told you." Twilight nodded as Applejack walked off. Pinkie Pie was next. She had to know something. "I have evidence! Pink Frosting!"
Everypony gasped and turned to the baker. "They were pink, so what?"
"Would they have tasted good?"
"Ask the defendant because I don't even know! I make things!" Everypony looked at the accused. He didn't say a single word. Not even an ear twitch. He knew he would never do such a thing. Pinkie Pie, are you out of your mind? That didn't help one bit. I bet it was your randomness kicking in, Twilight thought, exhausted. "Nevermind," Rarity said. "Next!" Fluttershy then called the third witness, "Twilight Sparkle...!" The Jack finally spoke. "Help me Twilight..."
SHINING ARMOR!? Twilight thought. She quickly decided to give her evidence. "One tart was stacked on another!" Rarity gasped. "Is that even possible!?"
"The twelve were there the whole time, I counted. The Jack of Hearts is innocent because of this! He was falsely accused!" Shining Armor nearly passed out from what she said. "That explains everything..." Shining Star was stunned knowing this and slapped himself twice. You tell 'em, Twilight! Rarity felt a bit furious, at the baker, but mostly at Twilight. "You know you can't put decisions before me! Take her away!" Two of her ponies marched toward Twilight. She backed away as they closed in on her. Soon enough, she was cornered in the room.
Oh no, she thought. I gotta think of something fast... Wait a minute! She quickly got the mushroom out, bit off a piece of the right side, and grew nearly ten times her current height. The two ponies that tried to get her soon ran off. Rarity gulped as sweat rolled down her face. Pinkie Pie's tail twitched. Twilight Sparkle lifted her left back hoof and took a step towards Rarity, shaking the room. "I'd like to see your playing cards take me down now," Twilight said.
Trixie clapped cheerfully seeing what appeared to be the Queen's defeat. So you are her. "Go get her Twilight!" she called out to the now giant alicorn.
Rarity thought it was time to run to the hills hearing that, but was caught by Twilight. Twilight smiled at her. "You don't always have to be really strict when it comes to anything. You didn't make a mistake, you just had a misunderstanding. That happens sometimes with my friends back home."
Rarity felt really guilty. "Gee," she said, "I never thought of it like that. Somepony taught me the same thing, but I very seldom followed those words."
Spike and Derpy then appeared. "The same with us, and we know thanks to you."
Tweedle Bloom and Tweedle Dazzle appeared too. "It seems as though our land needs more harmony than we thought."
Rainbow Dash smiled. "You gave us some good advice for our future." Pinkie Pie and Applejack almost cried hearing this.
However, Discord was not impressed, knowing there isn't anything chaotic going on at that moment. But, he wanted to know how Twilight got there in the first place. "My dear, Twilight Sparkle. Why did you even come here in the first place?" Twilight bit off a part of the left mushroom and shrank back to normal. Fluttershy ran to her. "Because my friend was acting curious to me to begin with," Twilight replied to Discord.
Trixie then walked over to Twilight. "Thanks for your help. You helped us out a lot here in Wonderland. However, your journey ends here in Wonderland."
Shining Star walked over to Twilight. "Great Job Twilight, I knew you could pull it off." Twilight blushed a bit.
"Let's meet again in the future," Trixie said winking before using her magic to send Shine, Twilight, and Fluttershy back home.
Twilight Sparkle once again fell asleep.
Fractured Fairy Tails: Twilight Sparkle in Wonderland
Twilight, Twilight, Twilight!
Twilight Sparkle could hear Princess Celestia's voice. She woke up very shakily. "Wh-what happened?"
Celestia smiled. "Looked like you had a really crazy dream."
"It felt so real Celestia, like I could feel every moment of being there."
Celestia kept a smile, knowing that she went through a lot of trouble. "Your friends are waiting for you up ahead," Celestia replied. Twilight turned to see Shining Star, Fluttershy, the real Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Trixie, and Rarity. Twilight went over to them.
"Happy Un-Birthday, Twilight!" the seven of them said. Twilight blushed. I guess it wasn't a dream after all!
"Thank you for bringing me back, Twilight...!" Fluttershy said to her. Shining Star was happy to see them alright and unharmed. Pinkie Pie started setting up a table and put teacups and teapots all around the table.
"I heard about yer story Twilight," Applejack said, "and I want to know more about it someday."
Rainbow Dash and Trixie nodded in agreement. "It would be a great honor to know, Twilight."
Rarity then said to Twilight, "I'll be happy to help the next to time you're in another world."
"I can't ask for better friends," Twilight said aloud and sat in one of the eight seats available.
Celestia then said to her, "Whenever you're ready, I would love to hear all about your adventure in Wonderland with Princess Luna."
"It would be an honor."
Pinkie Pie then set a cake for Twilight and lit the candle. "Go ahead, blow it out and see what happens," she said. Twilight thought carefully of what could possibly happen and blew the candle. Her horn lit up for a moment and two pages were added to one of her spellbooks.
Shining Star then said, "Looks like we have some new magic in Equestria." Twilight and Fluttershy chuckled a bit.
The eight took their seats. Twilight smiled and blushed. She could almost wish this moment would be with her. If only Spike was here. Spike was next to Twilight the whole time. He was writing a new story to add for Twilight's library. He finally came up with a title for it.
Twilight Sparkle in Wonderland.
Epilogue
Twilight woke up the next morning feeling very happy. She enjoyed the day she had yesterday with her friends, plus Trixie. Before she could recall the whole day, she got a knock on the door. She knew who that one pony could be, Fluttershy. She quickly put on her Alice outfit and ran over to the door. When she opened it, it was Fluttershy! In her Rabbit's Outfit too! Spike went over to them to see what was going on. His sight shown Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy hugging each other. They were both blushing; they missed each other after Wonderland. It felt like a whole month. Then Fluttershy ran off to Everfree Forest. Twilight followed knowing exactly where they were heading. Wonderland.
Before they got in, they were greeted by a dark blue pony. Luna. Celestia did say she went there before, Twilight thought. Princess Luna turned to the two ponies. "Where are you two heading off to?" she asked in perfect english. Fluttershy nearly passed out hearing that. Twilight was about to tell her, but Luna already knew by her outfit. "Mind if I join you two this time?" Luna asked.
"Sure thing!" Twilight replied. Fluttershy got up and the three walked the rest of the way to the rabbit hole.

There are a few characters I left out of this story for the second part of Wonderland in the future. Maybe someday, I'll make The Garden of Talking Flowers scene, White Knight encounter, and The Chess Game a seperate story. Thanks for viewing this story, please comment, rate, and follow to the best of your ability. Thank you everypony.
Fractured Fairy Tails: Twilight Sparkle in Wonderland
Fluttershy and Twilight were running for a while, but Fluttershy was too fast for Twilight. Twilight stopped running and started looking around. "How curious..." Is this a new part of Equestria I don't know about? Or is this another world? Maybe a little walk around here will give me some answers. So Twilight started looking around the area not knowing she was being followed by what appears to be two ponies, wearing the same outfit. One whispered to the other. "YOU'RE BEGINNIN' BACKWARDS," the other replied out loud. This made Twilight turn to them. She was a bit surprised to find out that it was Apple Dazzle and an older Apple Bloom. But that was not what they called themselves. Twilight Sparkle then decided to see who they called themselves. Their names were Tweedle Dazzle and Tweedle Bloom. She finally said, "Hello there."
"Hi! How do ya do?" they replied.
"I'm doing pretty well right now." Twilight managed to give a nice smile. "You must not be from around here," Dazzle said. "Stay for a while. We can do lots of things!" Bloom finished.
"I was looking for a friend, she seemed late for something."
"Curious, isn't it?" asked Bloom. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. I remembered what happened to the last ones who were."
"Huh? What do you mean?" asked Twilight, confused.
"Well we can't tell you without breaking into song. But I'll do it for you," replied Dazzle. She and Bloom cleared their throats. Twilight sat on a log to watch what the two would then do.
"Everypony gather around I'll tell you a story of something now We hope you stay for a while so we can show you how.
"That doesn't seem right..." Twilight said. "Indeed," replied Bloom.
"If this was all cleared away
If seven maids with seven mops swept it for half a year, do you suppose -the Walrus said- that they could get it clear?
"Oysters come and walk with us,
Four young oysters hurried up, all eager for the treat: their coats were brushed, their faces were washed, their shoes were clean and neat."
"But, oysters don't have feet!" Twilight interjected. Bloom and Dazzle nodded. "Strange, isn't it!?"
"So they walked for a mile or so...
The Time Has Come, the Walrus said, to think of other things, of shoes and ships and sealing wax, cabbages and kings! And why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings...
STOP!" Bloom then looked up, sighed, and then sang solo.
"A loaf of bread is what we chiefly need, Pepper and Vinegar besides are very good indeed-- NOW IF YOU'RE READY OYSTERS DEAR WE CAN BEGIN to FEED!!!"
Twilight Sparkle got scared from this long tale. Dazzle and Bloom apologized and said, "It was just a heads up..." Twilight got up and said, "don't worry about it girls, I needed to know that if I am to be in this crazy place. I'll see you two later." Twilight then walked off without another word. Now where could Fluttershy be? I wonder where she is...
