Princess Celestia and I stared at each other for what felt like hours. She chuckled as she trotted her way towards me, "I haven't seen you since you were just a little boy."

She held out her hoof, expecting me to shake it, "Haha, it sure has Celestia. It's a pleasure to see you again," I shook her hoof, while minding the eye widening stares we got from the others.

"Wait...," I already knew what Twilight was going to ask even before she could even finish.

"Yes, I met Princess Celestia' a long time ago... I say about when I was 5 years old. I remembered after the first week you girls were living with us that Princess Celestia had actually lived here in Equestria."

My sister walked over between us, looking up at us, "Wait, are you saying you've actually been to Equestria before?"

"No, she actually visited Earth. She had to talk to our father about something, but I didn't really know what they talked about. My father told me to go to my room until they were done talking. At first, I thought I was in trouble for some reason, but I soon found out what the two talked about after my mother's death."

"I see, you must've been surprised at what you found out, right?" I shook my head. I knew what she meant.

"No, not really. After seeing how destructive my magic gets, I could understand after reading more into our magic types. It's kind of... overwhelming knowing that my magic could mean the destruction of not only my world, but the entire universe."

"That's why I teleported all of you here," She flew over towards the west wall, and her horn began to glow a blue aura, "Follow me everyone," The wall in front of her disappeared from its former spot, revealing a long deep stairwell, "Mitchell, a great threat will be upon us soon. With the Magical Vanguard looking for you, it'll only be a matter of time before they find you."

"Wait, Princess Celestia, we still don't know what's going on," Twilight asked, and everyone nodded towards both Celestia and myself.

"Princess, we have to explain it to them. I'm pretty sure my sister knows, but the girls are clueless as to why we're like this currently," Celestia nodded as I started to explain.

"Well, in our human world, magic does exist, but our magic is much stronger than pony magic. You see, there are over thousands of other dimensions. Equestria and Earth both being the types of dimensions that house magic. You see, there are 5 dimensions so far out of the thousands that houses magic. Equestria's magic is the lowest in terms of power for now. Earth's being the third most powerful out of these 5 dimensions."

"Wait, our magic is the weakest so far?" I nodded as Celestia continued.

"In each dimension, there is a branch that was created after each dimension heard about a certain being from one of the dimensions to be born within one of them. These branches are part of the Magical Vanguard to capture this said being. That being is known as the Dark Mage. Which is..."

"Mitchell...," Twilight said, a look of worry on her face.

"Emily, this is why my father had so much hostility towards me over the years. It wasn't because he was a drunk, or a drug addict. But because he was stressed out, and mentally drained from keeping my true-self a secret. I'm sorry sis, but everyone in our family except you knew. We needed to keep you out of our problem, but once the girls showed up, I knew it was only a matter of time before I was forced to use my Dimension Hopping spell."

"The portal Mitchell created gives off a certain dark aura that the Magical Vanguard is able to pick up. This dark aura is only given off by Mitchell when he uses a powerful spell. Dimension Hopping is one of the most powerful spell for a human to use. Once the Magical Vanguard caught that aura, they were already hot on Mitchell's trail. He was able to lose them by Dimension Hopping, but it's only a matter of time before one the Magical Soldiers find him."

"Especially if it's someone from the Hellfire Brigade. They're the strongest squadron in the Magical Brigade. If I come across them, there's no guarantee that I'll escape alive from their attack. This must be the reason you summoned me here. Is the Hellfire Brigade in Equestria?"

She shook her head, "Thankfully no, but I believe they're searching in Aodin. Mitchell, the Pony branch that's in Equestria have moved to search Ophara. I doubt they will return any time soon. As of now, there is no other branch from the Magical Brigade searching Equestria. There's only 5 branches, so it'll take some time before they think about searching Equestria. Which is why I would like you to stay here in Equestria for the time being. I know these girls will allow you and your sister to stay with them. Right girls?"

"Of course!" They all answered in unison. To be honest though, I don't really know who to live with, "Celestia, I don't know who to stay with."

Rarity trotted over to me, and nuzzled my leg, "Oh you can stay with me. You deserve to live in an amazing place like the Carousel Boutique."

"No, I do think he could live with me. I'm obviously the best for him," Twilight said as she grabbed my leg.

"Now girls..."

Rainbow Dash then landed on my right shoulder, "Nah, I'm pretty sure he can live with me," If my memory serves me right, Dashie lives in the clouds... that wouldn't work. I need to restrain myself from using any sort of magic. I mean, without magic, I wouldn't even be able to live with Dashie.

"No silly, Mitchell is best with the funnest pony in all Equestria!" Is funnest even a word? Hold on let me check...

...

Well, according to Google, it says it matters if you think it's an adjective. Right now, Pinkie used it as a way to describe herself. I guess it counts. Ah, what does it matters, I'm pretty sure most of you went to check, so I guess this was pretty pointless.

"I think yer reckin staying at Sweet Apple Acres. Don't ya think Mitchell?" Ok, it's just so weird writing AJ's accent, and her speech. Haha, that's going to be the most difficult thing about writing these journal entries.

"Um... Mitchell, would you mind living with me?" Fluttershy asked as her covered one of her eyes. I swear, she's just the cutest little pony, but I don't know who to choose. I know for sure Rarity's house is connected to her boutique, so privacy will be a problem. Twilight's lives in the library, so that has the same problem as Rarity's boutique. I kind of already went over the problem with Dashie, so she's out of the question. Even so, I would still like to live with Dashie, but it's just not possible..., or is it? Anyway, if I live with AJ, well, the only real problem would be writing her speech nearly everyday. I have no problem with waking up early or working on her family's farm. If you didn't know, my body is well toned since I did athletics during high school, and took martial arts training for about 4 years before I moved to training myself. I also do crossfit, so working on her farm is almost nothing to me. And then there's Fluttershy. She loves animals, and so do I, but I don't think I would like to live with animals. I think I made up my mind...

"I know who I'm staying with...," I set my eyes on a certain, oh wait, I'm running out of space. I'll continue this once I get a new journal. I can get two since my sister wants one as well. Hopefully Twlight has some empty journals. Anyway, I'll give all of you my choice in the next journal entry. But I kind of want to know what all of you to say who you would've wanted. I mean, I've already chosen, but let's who all of you wanted to know. Ok, yeah, I'm writing really small to conserve space, so I'll end it now. Bye! Pinkie's right, breaking the fourth wall is fun!
