The portal to the other world: Book1

Twilight grabbed her magical friendship journal. It was glowing and shaking like crazy.

" Jeez, I'm reading, I'm reading!"

She cracked it open and burrowed her muzzle into it.

" Mmm hmm...Mmm hmm..."

Her eyes widened while she read. She kept on reading it until the message was done.

" What? This can't be!"

Twilight scratched her head and read the message from Sunset Shimmer over again.

" A world of gender bent ponies? Fluttershy's gender bend is a guy named Butterscotch?"

She blinked. " There's Dusk Shine, Elusive, Berry Bubble..." She snapped the book shut. " I've got to tell the girls!"

***

" What? No way!" were the words Rainbow Dash spoke fifteen minutes later. " Gimme that!"

She snatched the book and read it for herself. " A guy version of me? Get out of here!"

Applejack snagged the journal and read it as well.

" Hey! Give that back!" Rainbow growled.

" Hold on a quick second..." the country pony muttered. Applejack's eyes widened. " Oh ho!"

Rainbow Dash grabbed it back. " What did you read? You spoiler..."

Before she could read a single word, a pink haze enveloped the book.

" What the hay?!"

The book was taken from her and went to Rarity.

" Quite hogging, you two. No pony can read it if you're playing 'Keep Away' with it."

She squinted as her eyes scanned the page. " Oh, what's this..?"

Her face lit up. " Oh, I do say!" Her cheeks turned a slight red. " My!"

Applejack and Rainbow Dash lunged at her.

" Let us read!"

Rarity quickly used her magic to move the book away. " Ugh! Wait your turn!"

" Look who's playing Keep Away!" Applejack cried as she tried to get the journal. Rarity was too busy trying to keep the journal away from Applejack and Rainbow Dash that she didn't notice a certain pink pony sneaking up behind her. Right when the journal was above her Pinkie swiped it.

" I got it!"

" Hey!" all three of the other ponies yelled and jumped at her.

In the meantime Fluttershy was just watching her friends, weakly trying to get them to stop with unheard whispers. Twilight just giggled.

" Ok, girls. Stop your fighting."

She took the book away with her magic and the others grumbled sourly as they came trudging over. For some reason, the friends never fight with Twilight at all but think it's ok to fight amongst the others (cough)."

" Here, let me read it aloud so ALL of you can be able to know what Sunset Shimmer wrote." She cleared her throat.

Dear Princess Twilight,

Today we just met another pony! It was really strange. We met him while in the lunchroom. He says he's from a pony world but not your pony world. His name's Butterscotch. The Pegasus just told us something really amazing. He claims that the world he's from, all the ponies there exist where you are, but as the opposite gender! Get this: all of you have guy versions! Here's a list
Dusk Shine: Twilight Sparkle's male self who's very smart and loves to read. He currently is the prince of Friendship in his world.
Berry Bubble: Pinkie Pie's male version. He's very hyper and loves to throw parties.
Elusive: This is Rarity's other self. He's very handsome, fashionable, and suave. The clothes he makes are fantastic.
Applejack: Well, it's Applejack (obviously). He's a hard working, good natured guy who can lift a ton of weight. He's the strongest pony he knows.
Rainbow Blitz: The fastest flyer in all of Equestria who performed the Sonic Rainboom. He's the best liked colt amongst the ladies.
Butterscotch: This is the pony who's with us. He's sweet, gentle, and kind. He knows the right words to say and loves animals. He's very cute.

Keep in touch! Sunset Shimmer

Rarity raised a hoof up to her forehead dramatically.

" Oh, I had no idea my other self would be so grand! I am dying to meet him!"

Applejack narrowed her eyes somewhat.

" Rarity, you crushing on yourself?"

They were all quiet as they stared at the unicorn.

" Ok, I already knew you were obsessed with looking like a diva, but this is just plain weird," Rainbow Dash muttered.

" Anyway," Twilight said and cleared her throat. " Sunset Shimmer said she'd keep us posted. I can't wait to here more!"

The girls agreed.

Pinkie Pie yawned loudly. It was already getting late. " I'd love to stay up and chat, but I'm getting tired."

" Yeah, what Pinkie said," Fluttershy whispered.

Twilight nodded and yawned herself. " Well, I'll let you all know if there's anything else she writes back. Good night."
The ponies all separated and went home as the sun set in the sky.

It was afterschool and the Equestria girls along with Butterscotch made their way toward Applejack's farmhouse. In this world, Applejack and her family maintain the city garden and own a local chain grocery store called Granny Smith's. Applejack invited everyone over as well as Butterscotch since he didn't have a place to go.

When they got to the house Applejack opened the door and yelled," I'm home!"

Applejack's little sister Applebloom and Big Macintosh came to the door. The girls and Butterscotch had been walking around the city, showing the Pegasus their world and so Big Macintosh was there before them.

Applebloom looked up at the boy and gasped.

Big Macintosh glanced at Applejack suspiciously. " So who's the boy?"

" OOH, Applejack's got a boyfriend!" Applebloom squealed and ran in to tell her grandma. " Granny Smith! Granny Smith!"

Applejack blushed red in both fury and embarrassment. " Why you! Applebloom!"

She ran after the shrieking girl and left her friends in the doorway of the house. They all looked back at Butterscotch, who sputtered," Red Gala and Applebuck sure are the same way I know them..."

" Is that their versions?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

He nodded. " Only, Applebuck isn't as shrieky as this version."

Big Mac waved them inside. They all entered and could hear Applejack, her sister, and the grandma talking loudly from somewhere in the house.

" Applejack has a boyfriend!" This was Applebloom.

" A toy bin? Why does she have a toy bin? I thought you were too old for toys!" Granny Smith said. She was a little deaf.

" No, granny, don't listen to her!" Applejack said.

" She's got a boyfriend!!!" Applebloom cried.

There was a delay in the grandma's response. "...A dolphin? What, did you promise Fluttershy you'd take care of it? The last time you said you'd care for a critter the poor thing ran away. I dunno why she'd trust you after that. I mean, last I heard she was pretty upset."

" No! Ignore what she's saying, granny!" Applejack urged.

The girls all were quiet as they listened to this odd conversation unfold. Big Mac acted like nothing was happening.

" So, are you her boyfriend?" he asked Butterscotch.

" N-No! You got it all wrong! We just met today," he said.

Big Macintosh tilted his head. " Just met today? That's pretty fast for her to just invite you over on the first day y'all met. You sure there isn't a special connection between you two?"

Butterscotch looked to the others for help.

Rarity tapped her chin. " Uh, he's...um, Fluttershy's twin brother!"

The cowboy looked him over and glanced at Fluttershy.

" Oh, well why didn't you say so?"

He went away and Butterscotch sighed with relief. " Thanks, Rarity."

She nodded.

Big Mac turned his head back to look at them. " Well, I hope you two don't mind sharing a bed. We'll be tight for space so it shouldn't be a problem, with y'all being twins and all."

Everyone immediately looked to the two of them, they're faces were flushed.

Rarity smiled sheepishly. " Oops...sorry..."
