A Mirror to Another World

Twilight was worried sick that they may not be able to get home. She was pacing back and forth in the grass thinking all about the spell and other things. Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie was relaxing in a tree not too far from Twilight. She really didn't care if they may never get home; mostly because she was carefree. Besides, she had something more important on her mind: playing with her face because it felt so much different than before. "Hey Twilight!" she said. "Not now, Pinkie Pie!" PInkie Pie ignored what Twilight had said "Do you wanna play a game?" "Pinkie Pie, I have more important things to do than playing a game!"

"What's that?"

"Oh, I dunno, like maybe... getting home?!?!"

Pinkie Pie then decided that Twilight was too boring to have any fun with, so she made her own game by seeing if she can hit a tree with a rock. Twilight was about to give up, because she couldn't think of anything else to do. She noticed that she must have been spending a long time thinking, because the sun was setting and it was getting cold. So, she retired to a medium-sized rock that was laying near her. When she sat down she felt something in her back pocket.

When she reached into her pocket, she pulled out a long, thin stick. She didn't know what it was. She did think of only one thing, though: It's a stick that fell from a tree into my pocket. Then she kept thinking a bit. Well, she didn't have her horn anymore, so maybe... She tried to pick up a stick with it like she would have done if she had her horn. The stick shined purple, and so did the stick as it floated in the air. "Pinkie Pie!" yelled Twilight. "Yeah?" responded Pinkie Pie.

"We can get home now! Come on!" Pinkie Pie hopped down from the tree.

"Aww, but Twilight, I don't wanna leave yet!" Pinkie Pie still wanted to explore this new world to see if there were other people besides them. "No Pinkie Pie! I've already performed the spell! We're going home!" The same thing happened back at the library; the huge portal opened up, but this time, twigs and leaves and such were stirring around. Twilgiht and Pinkie Pie were sucked back into the portal.

When the portal spit them out again, they were in the same place they left off; the woods. "Why didn't that work?" Twilight asked herself. She felt very tired before and after she performed the spell. She then concluded she had used all her energy getting here and trying to get back. "So we're stuck here again?" asked Pinkie Pie. "Yes." Twilight said, sadly. "Hooray!"

Twilight and Pinkie Pie roamed the forest for a few hours, until they found a paved road. They decided to walk on it until they found a city or town. By the time they started to walk, it was getting very dark, and the moon was almost directly overhead. After a few more minutes of travel, they heard a honking sound behind them. When they looked at the source of the sound, they say two bright lights coming towards them at a fast rate of speed. Twilight pushed Pinkie Pie out of they way just in time. The object came to a halt with a loud screech. They then heard a voice say: "You girls need a lift?" The two couldn't see the man, but he had a thick country accent. "Oh, um... yes please." Twilight managed. They both got in the object.

"Name's Mike." the man said. Twilight could finally see him. He looked like them, hands and feet and all, and wore a hat and flanel shirt. "What's you're names?" "Oh, I'm Twilight Sparkle and this is Pinkie Pie." The man laughed very loudly. "What.. he he... what kinda names are those? Ha ha! I've never heard anyone named that!" the man chuckled lightly. "And so.. he he... where ya from and where ya headed to?" Twilight answered politely "We're from Equestria and we're just going to the next available town." The chuckled yet again. He seemed to laugh at everything they said. "Oh, so you two ride horses! My Maw used to ride horses too..." Pinkie Pie and Twilight were both confused. They didn't ride horses, they used to be horses... well ponies, but still.

They got to the next town and said goodbye to their weird friend. "What is this place?" Pinkie Pie asked. Twilight remembered seeing a sign that said New York City just before they got there.
