The Adventures of Emanon Reynawhe Season 1

__________________________

I - An Unsettling Discovery

__________________________

       Next weekend, Emanon was a lot better, in body and in mind. He was back on good terms with his friends, and ready for adventure.

       He gathered everyone around the portal, and brought the notes he had taken. Celestia would be interested in his notes on a permanent portal.

       This was fortunate. He went towards the portal, levitating the papers in front of him, when they suddenly froze. The papers, I mean. He let go of them. They hung in midair in the Equestria side of the portal, immovable.

       "Oh no. I was hoping I was wrong."

       "I thought you said this worked," said Caleb.

       "It did; we walked back and forth across it."

       "Let me think," Ashley said. "Well, it's been two weeks since the season finale."

       "But that's just the show. Things happen that are not shown on TV. Wait...time has always been funny there...If it is what I think it is, either Equestrian years are shorter than ours by half a year, or time is just warped compared to ours. I calibrated this wormhole to make sure it kept the time one day off, since that is what I first observed. But since it is between seasons, and ponies in Equestria do not experience a hiatus like we do...we can't go into Equestria right now."

       "Why not?" asked Miriam, clearly disappointed.

       "Time is frozen there right now. If we went through, we would be stuck there until November and not even notice."

II - What To Do?

__________________________

       His friends all stood around him, disappointed.

       "So, we can't go there for how long now?" asked Mark, realizing what that meant.

       "As long as there is a hiatus for the show."

       "But going over there all summer was going to be so FUN," said Miriam, her face downcast.

       "You know, going to Equestria isn't the only thing fun that we could do this summer."

       "It isn't?"

       "We could build a tree fort."

       "A tree fort?" said Caleb. "Really? That's the best idea you have?"

       "Well, it would be our hideout, so no one sees where we're going when we do go to Equestria."

       "Compared to traveling to another dimension, it's still boring."

       "It doesn't have to be. Tell me you haven't wanted to design your own dream house."

       "Yeah, I have, but still, a dream house is meant to be unrealistic. We couldn't possibly..."

       "There's tons of scrap wood I the garage, and remember--whatever you need, I can probably help. I can use magic. But still, don't get too ridiculous. I'm not THAT good."

       "Okay, this might be fun. But it still doesn't make up losing the ability to go to Equestria. Remember, we only saw it twice, and the second time was so short."

       "Yeah," Mark agreed. "It would have been nice to see a bit more before it was ripped away."

       "I know, I wish that it could have been different. I know that this won't replace it either, but you should really watch the old episodes. I forget that you don't know much about Equestria. But I'll just advise you; skip the theme song."

III - Planning

__________________________

       They waited impatiently for school to end. During the weekends, they watched old episodes of MLP together, and Emanon watched them with new interest now that he knew that they were real events.

       It was even weirder when he realized that he had been at Canterlot, studying magic, at the same time these events were happening.

       Then, they started to plan out the treehouse. Each person would have their own section. It took them a while to get used to what they could really do with their creativity, but they got into it eventually.

       Emanon reminded them that he could open up portals across our universe easily. Then they realized what this meant. It was just as easy for him to open a portal that went ten feet as one that went millions of miles.

       They just had to make sure they could do without when he wasn't there to open those portals. He could enchant objects to perform certain spells, but this drained not his energy, but his capacity for magic.

       If he enchanted an object to create a portal, he would be severely crippled magically.

IV - Planning - Mark

__________________________

       This was Mark's final plan:

       He loved working with metal. Since it would be unadvisable with wood, he based his main forge underground. With the access of Emanon's portals, he could have forges in all sorts of environments, including a location on the moon. Lower gravity would enable fine detailing in his work.

V - Planning - Jennifer

__________________________

       This was Jennifer's final plan:

       She would have the outdoors indoors. Each room would have habitats for each of the animals she took care of, although the flowers were strictly off-limits to Emanon, who tended to eat them accidentally.

__________________________

VI - Planning - Caleb

__________________________

       This was Caleb's final plan:

       Caleb, who loved to tinker, created a workshop that lacked nothing. Everything he needed was in reach. It seemed to cluttered to the others, but he liked it that way. He refused help from Emanon to magically create space-saving contraptions. Any gadget made for his workshop would be made by him and him only.

VII - Planning - Miriam

__________________________

       This was Miriam's final plan:

       No one knows. She made a plan in her head, but she wants it to be a surprise. Everyone now knows it probably is a good idea to stay away from her room.

__________________________

VIII - Planning - Ashley

__________________________

       This was Ashley's final plan:

       It was an art studio; cozy, but with plenty of space to work with. There were all sorts of art types: painting, sculpture, fabric, you name it. It was clearly meant for group usage, but had a smaller room to the side for personal projects.

IX - Planning - Emanon

__________________________

       This was Emanon's final plan:

       He had two different areas, each with a different purpose. The room near the top of the treehouse was his library, for both books that he had collected, and that Celestia had given to him. Rare or dangerous ones, he kept in a different place, only accessible by portal. Using an old and forgotten magic was the safest lock; even in Equestria, getting to them would be virtually impossible. He simply picked a random spot underground, and placed a bookshelf there. When he needed a book, there they were. His second room was completely underground--it was for the more dangerous experiments that would endanger others. He had to stop using the underground; there was only so much dirt his mother's garden needed.

       Finally, he created a common room; a room that they could all be comfortable in and be together without invading each other's privacy. It was also a place to keep any guests trusted enough to keep secrets.

X - Building

__________________________

       It took the entire summer to build it, even with Emanon's magical help. Caleb categorically refused his help on any part of his section of the house. Miriam wouldn't allow any help on hers except the basic structure. Apparently "it was a surprise".

       When the treehouse was finally completed, it was time for school. November 10th seemed such a long way off, but time labored on, and the date finally came; they would be traveling once more.
