My Little Homunculi: Alchemy Is Magic

Twilight had gotten a map out. "Listen." she said between the pointer in her mouth, "Tomorrow we'll head back to Ponyville, and pack. Then the next day we'll leave, and head to the Dragon Kingdom here." She poked a large piece of land that had Dragon Kingdom written on it.

"Okay, so why are we going there?" asked Ed.

"The dragons are one of the oldest races. There's bound to be something on alchemy there." Twilight explained.

"Okay, that makes sense." Ed said. Twilight nodded her head.

"And if we don't find anything there, we'll go to other lands such as the Griffon Kingdom, and Zebrica." Twilight told him. He nodded. "We should get to sleep now, we'll need our energy soon." she said.

"Yeah." he agreed, and they went to sleep. The next morning they were woken up by a knock at the door. Twilight opened it to find a royal guard.

"Breakfast is ready Miss Twilight." he said.

"Thank you." she told him. He nodded, and left. "Come on, let's go get some breakfast." she said to Ed. He got up, and followed her to the dining hall. During breakfast Twilight realized that Ed wasn't drinking his milk. "You should really drink your milk." she told him.

"I hate milk." he said.

"You should drink it. It'll help you grow." Celestia told him.

"Who are you calling small?" he yelled. Twilight sat there with her mouth open, while Celestia chuckled.

"Sorry if I offended you." she said, still chuckling. Ed huffed, and went back to eating. "Your friend is quite amusing." Celestia told Twilight.

"Yeah." she said, relieved that hadn't gone worse.

"Goodbye Twilight. Tell your other friends I said hello." Celestia called to them as they flew off in a chariot.

"Will do." Twilight yelled back. Soon they had reached Ponyville, and landed in front of the library. "Spike!" Twilight called as she opened the door.

"Coming!" Spike yelled, then appeared a moment later.

"Spike I want you to get the others." Twilight told him.

"On it." he said, giving a salute before walking out. That reminded Ed of when he used to be in the military. Soon the other 5 he'd met yesterday had entered the library.

"So what's this about Twi?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Yes darling. It's not like you to just call us all up." Rarity said.

"Me and Ed are going on a trip." Twilight told them.

"Really? Where to? For how long? I'll throw a big going away party!" Pinkie said.

"No!" Twilight yelled out, causing the others to look at her. "I mean, no thank you. I don't want a party." Twilight told her. "Anyways we'll be leaving tomorrow. I just wanted to tell you girls." Twilight said.

"Alright. Bring me something cool back." Rainbow Dash told her.

"And you must tell me about the clothing you see." Rarity said.

"And I'd like to hear about what kind of animals you see." Fluttershy said.

"Oh! Oh! Me next! I wanna know about the deserts they have." Pinkie said. Applejack just shrugged.

"Ah'm fine with anything." Applejack told her.

"Alright then. We should pack now." Twilight told them. They nodded, and left. Throughout the day they packed two backpacks. Soon nightfall came. "We should get some rest now if we want leave early tomorrow." Twilight said.

"Yeah." Ed agreed. He laid down on an extra bed, and wondered what kind of madness would he run into this time. Hopefully not homunculi. Soon he fell asleep, his mind in turmoil.

"Wake up." Twilight said, shaking Ed awake.

"Huh? What time is it?" he asked.

"It's 5:30." Twilight told him.

"Why'd you wake me up so early?" he asked her.

"Because we have to get an early start." she told him, "Now let's get some breakfast." By the time they had finished breakfast, Spike had woken up.

"Hey guys." he said.

"Hey Spike." Twilight said. "We're leaving now. Take good care of the library while I'm gone." Twilight told him after she got their bags.

"Don't worry Twilight. The library is in good hands." he said.

"I'll write to you. Bye Spike." she said, leaving the library with Ed close behind. With that, their journey started.
