I - The Note
__________________________
On that important day, the 10th of November, that day at which they finally could return, all of Emanon's friends came over. He didn't even have to call them this time; they came automatically. Only the start of school had stopped them from just jumping through anyway and skipping the rest of summer.
They gathered around the portal and walked through. Nobody cared that the show had not started yet; they would be sped up anyway, and Emanon knew that the actual events of the show usually started on Sunday morning. Better get there before all of that happened.
Emanon immediately made the portal to Ponyville. Celestia already knew that they would be coming. To them, the summer on Earth did not even exist.
This time, they teleported to the edge of Ponyville, and walked to Twilight's library. Traveling normally was always the best option, and most of them believed that letting other ponies get used to them was a good thing. Only Luke seemed to disagree.
"Why can't we just teleport inside the library? I see no reason that we should walk all that way. And everyone keeps staring at us."
"Everypony."
"Whatever."
"You never know when you might meet a new friend. Anyway, if there is an emergency in Ponyville or something, we don't want that to be the first time they see us."
"Uh huh. That doesn't make me like it."
"Anyway, it looks like we're being accepted, anyway. See, there's a pony...nevermnd."
A teal-green pony was following them, beaming.
"What do you mean by that?" said Ashley suspiciously.
"That's just Lyra," said Emanon. "She's obsessed about humans about as much as bronies are about ponies."
"Oh. Wow."
"Anyway, we're here. We should get inside before..."
A note greeted them on Twilight's door.
"Gone to Canterlot. Be back around noon."
"Well, that's not too bad," Miriam said.
A second note was underneath it.
"Revision: Gone to the Crystal Empire. If you don't know what that is, I can't help you. Don't know when I will return."

II - Tour of Ponyville.

"That's a bit worse. What do we do now?"
"Well, I could show you around Ponyville. I know quite a few good places to visit."
They all agreed, some more reluctant than others, but all a bit disappointed. They had all come up with interesting things to talk about with their pony counterparts. They weren't identical to their fellow Elements, but they loved talking to someone (well, somepony) that had similar interests.
Their fist destination was Sugarcube Corner. They were all ready for a treat.
The Cakes were a bit uneasy around Emanon's friends, but got used to them quickly. Nobody was weird enough to faze them after Discord.
They left the shop, feeling pleased and a bit fuller than before.
"That was great," said Mark. "But strange; I never thought oatmeal would taste good in cupcakes."
"Indeed," Ashley agreed. "I guess well have to get used to a lot."
"So this isn't a good time to show you hay fries?"
"NO," they all said together.
"I was just messing with you. It took me a year to even consider it. And I was a pony at the time. I doubt that human stomachs can even handle it."
They walked around, looking at shops, when the Doctor walked past. He immediately stopped short.
"That is SO not fair."
"What?" asked Miriam.
"He turned into a pony, I turned into a pony, and everyone I've met has turned into pony form one way or another. HOW are YOU like THIS! It's not fair."
Emanon stepped in. "I became a pony before I came here, not because I did. Anyway, my form of travel is different. I seem to age with the time that I travel through. You don't."
"That still doesn't explain why I'm a pony. I'm completely protected in the TARDIS - if anything, you should have turned into ponies, since you're directly exposed."
"Maybe the TARDIS just realized the general form of the inhabitants of this universe and 'helped'."
"Okay, maybe, but still! It's not fair!"
"If you say so. Anyway, I'm trying to show my friends around. You were quite rude."
"Fine. Go ahead. I'll just stay here. Maybe I'll give the TARDIS a piece of my mind."
Mark looked at him, contemplating how crazy this pony actually was. "I don't think that'll--"
"Just leave it," said Emanon.
"All right."
They toured the rest of Ponyville, and by the end of the day, ponies started to overcome their initial bias. There were plenty of things in Equestria weirder than them.

III - Disappointment and Return
__________________________
By sunset, they began to realise that their pony friends would not be returning today. They walked towards the edge of Ponyville.
"After all that time of waiting, we don't even get to see them?" Caleb complained.
"We need to stop being so selfish, Ashley said. "I'm sure they are doing something very important to be away from here for so long."
"I just hoped that we could've made it before they left," said Emanon sadly. "But maybe it's for the best. They might have invited us along. And as cool as that might have been, I don't want to invoke myself in affairs that aren't mine to meddle in."
"What do you mean?" Mark asked.
"I mean that if we interfere, and whatever happens is featured in an episode...I don't even know what will happen."
"I don't get it. Being in an episode would be so cool."
"I mean what would happen at home. Or more specifically, at DHX. Would they spontaneously create new characters? How would people react if some of them were human with no explanation?"
"Ohhh, that IS a problem."
"Exactly. We have to be content with the time we do have. I only wish that we could stay here for a while, but summer is out of the question."
"We just have to be patient," said Jennifer. In about two years, we won't have to deal with school anymore. Then we can come here whenever we want."
"That is, if we have no other life." said Mark. We might actually want to get jobs. Or go to college."
"Well, we won't solve it by staying here," Emanon said. "Let's go home."
"Agreed."
They went home, recieving only a slight shock to discover that it was already Sunday. Time had been slightly faster in Equestria, and it was around noon.
They ate lunch, their dinner, at Emanon's house, and watched the latest episode on YouTube, as they had missed the show at the actual time.
Watching it was nerve-racking. They knew that the danger was real. Very real. And they were not so sure now that there would always be a happy ending and the conclusion.
