It took me only about a minute to pack all the cards back into the box. As I did, Twilight and Rarity were using their magic to help clean up any messes that had been made, mainly having to do with an excess of potato chips.

I was really happy with the outcome of this game. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, even Fluttershy. I figured that she would be too timid to play, but I was eventually proven wrong. I also thought Rarity would find the game too uncouth for her standards, but she also proved me wrong with her random bouts of excitement throughout the game.

It seemed that Rainbow and Twilight had gotten into the game the most. I never expected they would get that competitive over a simple card game, but then again, watching their sarcastic rivalry get bigger and bigger was quite a sight to behold.

Once everything had been taken care of, the seven of us realized that there wasn't really anything else to do, so I knew then that I would have to say goodbye to six of the most famous equines in the universe. I didn't want them to leave, but I knew that Twilight would be able to bring them back someday.

"Well, girls," I said, "I guess this is goodbye for now. Have a safe trip home."

"Bye!" Pinkie interjected almost immediately.

"Thanks again for lettin' us play that game!" AJ said.

"Yeah!" Rainbow added, "It was way past awesome!"

"I, ummm..." Fluttershy began, "...guess I had a good time, at least near the end of the game. I think I liked seeing Rainbow and Twilight competing against each other more than the game itself."

"Well, that was certainly amusing, darling," Rarity said, "But that game was just what I needed! I never get to do anything like that, ever! What with all the work I have to do at the shop and looking after Sweetie Belle and everything in-between. Thank you so much!"

"Hehe..." I giggled in reply, "You're welcome, Rarity."

I then turned my head to Twilight, who seemed to be deep in thought. It wasn't too long before a smile appeared on her face. Facing me, she said, "Grab that box. I've got an idea."

"Huh?" I asked in reply.

"Well, I think we can all agree that Rainbow and I definitely need another round of this, so why don't you come back to Equestria with us?"

I froze upon hearing what the princess had to say. "Did she really just ask that?" I thought to myself. I couldn't believe it. Here was Twilight Sparkle, in the flesh, offering to take me to her homeland. I knew that this was every Brony's and/or Pegasister's dream, and I knew couldn't pass up this once in a lifetime opportunity.

"Absolutely! I'd love to!" I finally replied.

"Great!" Twilight responded, "Now, hold still, everyone."

Right then and there, I saw Twilight charging up her horn. As she did, I quickly snatched the black box with my right hand and stood back in front of her. Eventually, a big, purple aura surrounded the seven of us. I knew right then and there that I was in for the vacation of a lifetime.

All of a sudden, there was a bright, white flash, and then there was nothing.
