She slowly looked at Max. He confirmed what the straight A student thought. They were ponies. Unicorns to be exact. Max was staring in awe at a large tree looking castle. Phoebe joined him. "Max, do you have any idea of what is going on?" Max shook his head. Phoebe observed him. He had a horn and ears. Max was still wearing his super suit. Phoebe was also wearing her super suit. Both of them looked at the castle in thought... 5 months earlier Phoebe POV I quickly threw on my red, white, and blue jacket and ran out the back door to look for Max. He was gone since 9:00 pm and now it is 3:00 am. My movement stirred the house, but I didn't care. If Max was in trouble, I would help him. Max POV Ever since I quit being a villain, Dark Mayhem was disappointed. I don't really care anymore, though. I thought Dr. Colosso would be mad, too. He is still my best friend even though I am now a good guy. I snapped back to reality, seeing that Dark Mayhem was about to blow me up. "Stop, Mayhem!" I saw Phoebe come in. They started fighting and I got free. I started fighting Mayhem, too. He eventually overpowered me and Phoebe. Soon, we escaped to the hero league HQ. Dark Mayhem followed us. A realization hit me. We gave away the top secret, hidden location of Hero League HQ. 4 months later Phoebe POV Max and I are in huge trouble. Right now I am getting ready for my time in court. We are put in our super suits. Max is typing something on his computer. We go into the glass court in the hero league HQ. I step up to my spot by the judge's table, ready to be questioned. Flashback-ContinuedSuper President Kickbutt was the judge. I was ready for my destruction. I tuned out most of the speech. "Phoebe Thunderman, pay attention!" I heard her shout to me. I automatically did out of fear. She continued stating our punishment. "Now, on to the questions. Max, why did you see to visit Dark Mayhem?" Max shifted uncomfortably. "Why do you want to know?" He asked. Nora POV I wanted to scream. My brother and sister's powers will be gone. What will we do? I know I am usually bratty, but today, I am trying to be good. Max POV I was pretty mad. Even though I am a superhero, doesn't mean that I'm perfect. I am still part villain. Kickbutt asked Phoebe the same question and I say, "Zip it Evelyn." Ha! I remember when I said that to her in my "cape ceremony". It was hilarious. I look around to see if anyone is laughing. Nope. No luck. Billy POV I cannot believe that Max just said that. He just got in more trouble than he already is. How to meet TwilightBilly POV After the questioning to cheer me up I opened my Speedy jr. magazine. 'Hi speedsters. Here's a quick tip on how to meet Twilight Sparkle.' 1. Be smart and read books 2. Be a good friend Huh. I guess that is just random things. At least I am happier now. Meeting TwilightPhoebe POV We walked a little. Gasp! A Library! Finally! I ran in and grabbed like 10 books. I was about to start reading them. I noticed that my hair was a mess. I poofed up a brush. It felt good to have my hair back. Ok. Time to start reading. I read all of them. Wow. A magical pony appeared. Max rushed over. "Who are you?" He asked. "Hello. I'm Twilight Sparkle. Didn't you want to meet me?" Max gave her a puzzled look. "What do you mean?" he asked. "Woah. You must be skilled to have summoned me without knowing. You need to have knowledge and friendship. I AM the princess of friendship." Twilight said proudly. I then said,"Sorry to be rude. I'm Phoebe and this is my brother Max." She told us literally everything about Equestria. We told her everything about Hiddenville and superpowers and why we were there. Max POV She seems like an extremely nice and kind pony who actually wants to help us. I can't wait to meet all of her friends. Answers"Right over here, sir." Octavia said and walked away. Uh oh. There is 654 books here. I better start looking. What is the dream book even called? Dreamed, Dreams, will Dream. That looks like IT... Phoebe POV "Rainbow Dash!" I shout. She stole my phone. Now, I regret bringing it. "This is not funny at all!" "If you want it come and get it." She said smirking. I decide to freeze her. I snatch my phone and unfreeze her with my heat breath. "Hey! Get back here! We aren't done yet!" I roll my eyes. Can she just let it go? I just freeze her again. She stays like that for a long time. Max POV I open the dusty book and I turn to page 28, dreams as visions. It says a rhyme in what I think is German. I get a sense that this is not good. I scramble to close the book, but I am too late. I get one last glimpse of the library and then I see nothing. My vision is blurry, but I can kind of make out our house. I stand up because I am a human again. Dad bursts through the door, shouting, "Barb, I'm home!" Then I realize this IS Phoebe's dream. I don't think they can see me. Phoebe walks downstairs from her room. "Mom! My telekinesis isn't working!" She shouts. "Sweetie, what are you talking about?" Mom laughs. "Hank, our daughter thinks she has superpowers." I expected Phoebe to run upstairs, like in the dream. But then, something different happened. Something very, very odd. Dr. CollossoPhoebe POV I swiftly cartwheel over the hologram and kick it in the legs to disarm it. I finish it off with a punch in the face. Twilight drops her hold on the spell she was using for the hologram. I am sweaty. "Good workout. Thanks Twi." I say. Just because I am in Equestria doesn't mean I shouldn't train for superhero stuff. I strut out of the gym. I whistle on my way home. When I walk up the spiral staircase, and get to my room, on my bed I see Dr. Collosso. "Eek! Phoebe! What're you doing here?" "The better question is: What're YOU doing here?" "I don't know. Why ask me when you could ask your sweat?! Ha!" "Whatever Collosso. Just don't bother me." "Is Max here, too?" "Yep!" I call. Max POV I slowly back away when I see Mom and Dad turn into evil bug villains. This wasn't in Phoebe's dream before. They surround Phoebe to attack. They may not see me, but they can feel me in the dream world. Right when they launch, I throw myself in front of them. They look puzzled. I escape through the door. Next thing I know, I am being sucked back into the real world. I stretch out. It seems like no pony notices that I was gone. Like no time has passed. I am tired of this day. I head home. When I get there, I see Dr. Collosso. "Max!" He says. My pal just looks like the cartoon version of himself as a bunny. I get it. He already is an animal. He wouldn't change into a pony. I use my heat breath to light the fireplace. Phoebe and I are having a surprisingly great time here in Equestria. ShoppingPhoebe POV Rarity promised to go clothes shopping today. I can't wait because I have been in my super suit ever since we got here. "Rarity c'mon!" I shout, annoyed. "Be right there!" She answers. I sigh, waiting for her to get here. She finally comes, in a designer, sparkly, fancy, expensive dress that is from like a month ago. I yawn to show my boredom. "Oh okay then. So you're ready?" Yes, Rarity is a tad bit annoying. We walk to the boutique. Wow! Is the first thing that comes to mind when you first step inside Carousel Boutique. There are so many options, I don't know where to start. Rarity picks out about ten things for me to try on. The first is a weird purple cape. I don't really like it. Number two is a brown dress. No. Three: green pants. Notta. 4: black suit. Nein. 5: a red suit. No. 6: White jeans. Not a chance. 7: pink shorts. Nein, nein, nein. 8: gray t shirt. Nope. 9: orange skirt. Nooooooo. 10: yellow tank top. I think you know what I am going to say. No! "Rarity! All of these are horrible!" Then I see IT. A deep blue dress the color of my super suit. It brings back memories of my family. Well, at least Mom, Dad, Billy, Nora, and Chloe. Max obviously is here with me. I look at the dress one last time before I buy it. Sick of YouPhoebe POV I model the new dress I bought at Carousel Boutique. It is really pretty. "Hey Rarity. I'm gonna get going." She didn't hear me. Oh well. As I walk along the roads, I see this perfect fantasy. Too bad life is not like Equestria. I finally get home. "Oh. Hey Max. You're hear early." He nods. "Yeah." He says more carefully than usual. And he was frowning. Usually he has a smirk. "Max. What is going on?" Max just walks away. I am gonna figure this out... Max POV I blast up to my room. I am sick of Phoebe. She is out shopping while I'm at the library trying to find out about HER dream. HER dream. Not mine. This whole trip for me was difficult. But she had her fun. "Collosso! Get me the portal back to Hiddenville." I storm through the portal to find the Hero League. "Kickbutt stop!" I say. "I want to be a villain again." I rip off my cape. "Oh and it isn't a phase." I rush home and cry on my bed for about an hour. Phoebe POV "So you're saying that Max left the pony world?" Dr. Collosso rolls his eyes. "Nooo. Max got Rocky Road ice cream at Pony Joe's. Yes he left this dump." I run out of the room to get Twilight. Achilles VortexIn Hero League HQ... "We are gathered here today for the stripping of Phoebe and Max Thunderman's powers." Max's posture was much more straight than usual. Both Phoebe and Max were nervous. Phoebe used her free hand to play with her hair. Both heroes were in their official Thunderman suits. Max decided to become a superhero. "So, without further wait, Phoebe, you are first." (Phoebe and Max were going to get their powers stripped.) Phoebe was blasted with a red ray and felt like she was going to be sick. Then, something unexpected happened. The Achilles vortex opened. Super President Kickbutt shouted something and tried to catch Phoebe and Max before they escaped. Luckily, they got through the vortex. Phoebe POV "Max, where are we?" I asked. I felt very weird. Max was passed out. I used my telekinesis to get him up. Oddly, I felt my forehead glowing. I was on my hands and knees. I tried to get up, but fell over. "Max..." I called."Whaaa..." Phoebe's DreamPhoebe POV Twilight agreed to let Max and I sleep in her amazing castle. When we went inside, we were greeted by 5 other ponies. A unicorn, two pegasi, and two others that looked like regular horses. "Hey Twilight! Hey random ponies I've never seen before!" A pink and jittery pony said. "I am Pinkie Pie!" She was very friendly. "Howdy y'all. Welcome to Ponyville." An orange pony said. I looked at Max. He looked at me. We both shared the same feeling. 'We left our home. How can we go back? What will happen here in PonyVILLE if we aren't in HiddenVILLE?' A white pony piped up. "So, if you don't mind me asking, are you related or friends or strangers or what?" I thought about that. We certainly are related. "Option 1." I say. "This is starting to get pretty boring so do you want to look around or not?" The rainbow pony Pegasus said. "C'mon!" Max POV I think about our family. I do miss them. Wait a minute. Where's Twilight? "Guys where is Twilight?" I ask-shout. Murmurs. I join the others to look for Twilight. Phoebe POV We eventually find her in the library. She apologizes and we go home. When I am getting into bed, Twilight says "I haven't told anyone about your powers. I actually was researching that today. That's why I was at the library." Then, she left. I drifted off to sleep... "Barb, I'm home!" I heard Dad say. I used my telekinesis to close the door. Wait what! Dad doesn't work anymore. He is retired. And, my telekinesis doesn't work. I go downstairs. I see Mom. "Mom, I don't think that my telekinesis is working." She laughs. "Sweetie, what are you talking about?" Huh? "Hank, our daughter thinks she has super powers." I run into my room. I gasp. We don't have powers anymore. I wake up. Whew. It was all a dream. But, what if it was more than that. Like a vision. I don't know. I'm just glad it is over. Max Does ResearchMax POV Stupid map! Where is the library? I want to find it! This morning, I decided to ask Twilight where the library is. She gave me a map that looks like it's from the 1700's. I see a blue pony with wings and a horn. "Excuse me. Can you please tell me where the library is?" I ask her. "By Sugarcube Corner." She answers, not really paying attention. "Where is that?" "Near Carousel Boutique." "I don't know where that is either." "Right next to Sweet Apple Acres." "Listen, it really isn't respectful to ignore ponies." "It is by Cloudsdale." "Whatever SMARTY PANTS!" I shout and walk away. Many ponies are staring at me. One comes up to me. "Hello. I'm Fluttershy. I also live in Princess Twilight's castle." I instantly recognized her as the timid, yellow and pink pony friend of Twilight. "Nice to actually talk to you. Phoebe and I really haven't got a chance to see Ponyville." I say warmly. "That was Princess Luna, you know. Not to be rude or anything." "No offense taken. So is she a magical unipegathingy too or what?" I ask. "Yes, she is an alicorn, too. Like Twilight." I was amazed at Fluttershy's knowledge. She may be shy but is one smart cookie. She walks away from me fairly timidly. Well, it figures. She is FlutterSHY. Okay time to get to the library. Wow! A gingerbread house looking place must be Sugarcube Corner. And, the library! Finally! I trot in looking for a clerk. There is a pony at the front desk. Her name tag reads Octavia. "Hello sir! Can I help you with anything?" She asks politely. "I was wondering if you have any books on 'dreams'?" I say. "Most of the fictional ones are checked out. Sorry." "No. Like Non fiction. Factual type of thing." "Oh." She says quietly. "We have one."
