Hearing the annoying beeping noise, Twilight wakes up by her alarm clock at 7:00 AM, instantly she turns it off and jumps onto her hooves. Rubbing the tiredness from her eyes, she swiftly trots over to her door and exits the room, deciding to let Spike sleep in. Stepping into the hallway, she could feel the temperature was colder then yesterday. Cursing the winter, Twilight quickly trotted over to the throne room in three minutes, Twilight enters the room that was her desired destination. Glancing at the clock, it was 7:04 AM. "Lyra should be here any moment" Twilight thought to herself walking toward the white mouse on the table. Opening the black cage, Twilight picked up the mouse with her magic, and placed it on her front left hoof

"Today is your big day, please come back safe... for Fluttershy" Twilight said quietly looking at the mouse. The mouse just stood on its back legs looking at her with a blank face "I can't believe a mouse is gonna be the first interdimensional traveler, you're gonna be most popular mouse in Equestria once you come back" Twilight told the mouse, putting it back into its cage. The door open indicating that Lyra was here, but Twilight could also hear another set of hooves. Looking over Twilight saw, what she'd expected, Lyra, but she came with Fluttershy

"Hello girls!" Twilight cheered slightly, waving her hoof at them. "We do the test at 7:30 AM sharp, so please get ready" Twilight said with a smile walking to her throne

"What are we waiting on?" Lyra asked trotting over to the work station, preparing her notes

"We're waiting on whoever would like to join us in the next twenty-five minutes" Twilight explained, looking anxiously at the blue spiral in the portal frame

"I wonder who will join us" Pinkie surprisingly said, appearing out of nowhere. Pinkie sitting, atop of her throne, face down on the table.

"Good morning Pinkie" Twilight said focusing her vision on Pinkie "Glad you could join us today"

Before 7:30, one by one the rest of the mane six entered the room. First was Rarity, then Applejack, and Rainbow Dash. "I'm glad you all could join me" Twilight pleased, getting nods in response "What we're about to do today is gonna be one of the most revolutionary thing in Equestrian history" Twilight got out of her throne as she started walking towards the work station. Grabbing the rope on the right side of the table, she tied it around the cage eyeing the mouse

"Please be careful" Fluttershy whimpered as Twilight started to walk toward her throne, facing forward, seeing the portal directly.

"Now, when I throw the mouse in you're gonna hear a fritzzy noise, that means we're gonna be thrown a couple hours into the future, it's just a side effect of the portal" Everypony glanced from Twilight to the little creature in the cage. Twilight straightened her hooves, walked back with the rope, and threw the cage forward into the portal. With the mouse holding on the cage, Fluttershy looked away along with Rarity. The cage made contact with the blue surface, but strangely enough, a ripple effect happened to the blue surface this time. Hearing the fritzzy sound, Twilight pulled the rope so it wouldn't be fully swallowed by the portal.

Everypony looked in amazement. "Where did it go?" They all asked in their thoughts. Fluttershy, for every second couldn't stop thinking about the creature, what feels around three minutes, Twilight pulls the rope back aggressively, this time it was the hardest subject to pull back. Applejack got up from her throne to help Twilight pull back the creature. With some force, they pulled the creature out of the portal, the cage landing hard on the floor. Fluttershy darted over to the cage and opened it.

"You must be so scared!" Fluttershy swiftly said, holding the mouse in her hooves. The mouse was a little shaky and wide eyed in response.

"Fluttershy, that mouse right there is gonna be the most famous mouse in Equestria" Twilight informed with pride in her voice

Fluttershy calmed down then put the mouse back in the cage, the mouse had also calmed down in those few moments of peace. "Now that my job here is done making sure nothing has happened to this poor mouse, I will happily release it back into my cottage" Fluttershy announced getting on her hooves as she put the cage on her back. Fluttershy walked over to the doors and looked back to face them "See you girls later" Fluttershy said her goodbyes opening the door, everypony in the room also gave their goodbyes to Fluttershy right before the door shut.

Twilight trotted happily to her throne, as a smile crept onto her face. "What's next, Twi?" Lyra asked walking next to Twilight after she sat down in her throne.

"Now that we know living creatures can pass through, we plan out what we're gonna be doing on the other side" Twilight replied gaining eyes from everypony

"Wait, we're all going to the other side?" Rainbow asked, excitement building up in her mind

"If you want to come with, I will allow you to come with, though I need to inform Princess Celestia before we go" Twilight hastily responded "But we need to plan where and when we will go, any idea Lyra?" Twilight asked looking towards Lyra

"Well, the few tall tales indicate and hint that the best year to start our exploration would be around... We don't want to go to the beginning of their civilization, just maybe in the Medieval ages"

"When would that be?" Twilight asked curiously

Lyra put a hoof up to her chin thinking back at her previous studies "The best idea we have is around the year 2047, yeah that sounds about right"

"Preparation for our first mission will begin at..." Twilight glances at the clock "Well, it's 9:40AM right now, let's meet up again at 3:00PM"

"Woah, your weren't lying when you said we'd be thrown a couple of hours into the future!" Pinkie suddenly yelled out in surprise

"But anyway', what're we gonna do til' then?" Applejack tossed out

"I don't know what you will be doing, but I will be informing the news to Princess Celestia" Twilight answered getting out of her throne "You guys should debate whether you want to go on the first mission or not, that decision is vital" Twilight informed warming up a spell to teleport to the train station.

"Will do" Applejack replied followed by the agreements of the rest of the ponies in the room.

"See you all when I get back! Twilight bided, teleporting out of sight

The trip to Canterlot was the same as usual, because Twilight was royalty, she had the free invitation to the V.I.P coach on the train. Of course, Twilight like usual accepted the gesture. When Twilight entered the coach, she found it was empty. "At least this ride will be more enjoyable, curse the snow for making it a tad cooler than wanted" Twilight thought choosing the closest seat

The train ride was about an hour long, nothing too interesting happened, just silence while looking at the passing scenery. Seeing the approaching, hanging town, Twilight could feel the train ever so slightly slowing down. Pulling up to the train station, the train halted completely. The coach door open, Twilight walks out to see a crowd wanting to get on the train. Instantly when the civilians spot her, they bow in respect. "Thank you everypony, now please, go on with your day" Twilight thanked, the crowd going on with their business. Charging up her horn, she teleported to the Canterlot castle. The guards allowing her to walk in at the sight of her. Because it was a Sunday, the royal sisters had a day off.

"Perfect" Twilight thought entering the royal dining room. Opening the carved wooden door, she was introduced with the sight of Celestia eating a huge chocolate cake. Celestia glanced at Twilight, instantly teleporting the cake elsewhere. Even more perfect!

"Good morning, Twilight Sparkle" Celestia said straightening her back "What brings you here today, so unexpectantly?"

Twilight developed a small blush "Sorry Celestia, it's just the project I've been working on"

"Ah, yes, how have you been doing on the project? You didn't cancel it did you?" Celestia asked, standing up

"What? No, no, no, no, I didn't cancel it. In fact, it's working!" Twilight exclaimed, gaining Celestia's full attention, her eyes widening

"You got it to work?" Celestia repeated, in response Twilight nodded "This is certainly big news" Celestia remarked, Twilight stretching out her chest in pride. "I'm guessing, you want to explore the other side, am I correct?" Celestia asked

"Correct" Twilight answered

"And you want to go there today I assume?" Celestia guessed once again

"Correct again" Twilight answered... yet again

"Hmm, I've been dawdling on whether you should go if you got this portal to work, I landed on the decision..." Celestia trailed off, eagerness growing inside of Twilight's soul "You should go" Celestia simply stated "Gather all the information you can when you're on the other side"

Twilight jumped up in joy "I won't let you down, Celestia"

"When do you plan going?" Celestia questioned summoning a scroll and an inked feather scribbling a few words down

Twilight looked at the clock, it was 10:40 "An hour I get back from the train ride home"

"Proceed to your mission, I don't want to hold you back any further" Celestia commanded. Twilight's eyes lit up as she turned around and opened the door "Wait," Celestia said, stopping Twilight from advancing "thank you for letting me know you were going. If you went unknowingly, ponies would've worried, and I probably would have thought something really horrible happened to you. I know this meeting was short, but it meant a lot" Celestia spewed out, releasing her mind

"Of course, princess. Wouldn't be a good princess if I didn't" Twilight replied with a smile

"Here, I'll make the trip a little shorter" Celestia said with a grin, taking Twilight in her golden aura

"Oh no need-" Twilight managed to say before being teleported to the front of her castle "- Celestia I got... oh, okay then..." Twilight opened the door and walked in "I wish I could do that, but alas, I'm still training to teleport long distances" Twilight said aloud advancing to the throne room.

About half way through her voyage, Twilight ran into Spike "Oh, hello Spike!" Twilight greeted

"Hello Twilight" Spike replied, a question popping into his mind "Hey, where were you? I was looking all over the castle for you"

"Oh, I was at Canterlot talking with Princess Celestia" Twilight replied

"Oh? May I ask why? It must be important if you have to tell Celestia" Spike asked, stepping a small step towards Twilight

"I told her that my project was done and we plan on going through the portal" Twilight shot out, Spike's face lighting up hearing those words

"Can I go with you?" Spike jumped up with excitement

"Absolutely not!" Twilight retorted, killing all the excitement in Spike's body

"W-why not?" Spike fired back standing still

Twilight sighed "Because, this is another, unknown, dangerous world, humans were known for their innovation and intelligence, but they were also known for their violence. I don't want you getting hurt or worse if you went with me, that's why Spike" Twilight stated, Spike understanding where she was going

"A-alright, Twi, whatever you think is best" Spike answered solemnly, looking down.

Twilight bopped his nose "Cheer up, you're gonna be here with Starlight after she gets back from her trip from the Diamond Dog Kingdom, I know how much you like her" Twilight said with a wink

A fierce blush spawned on Spike's face "W-what? I do not like her!" Spike retorted, crossing his arms

"Oh don't worry Spike, your secret is safe with me" Twilight said as she began to walk towards the throne room. "It was obvious~!" Twilight sang switching her walking to running as she ran through the hallway

"Whatever!" Spike hollered, cupping his mouth with his claws

Twilight walked into the throne room seeing that her friends were still in the room. They all looked at her simultaneously "Welcome back Twilight!" Pinkie hollered out jumping out of her throne.

"Hello girls" Twilight responded back trotting over to her own throne. "And before you ask, I went to Canterlot, the reason being is I talked with Celestia about the portal to let her know we were going through the portal today. She accepted understandfully, we are allowed to proceed with our mission" Twilight explained every detail, hearing an Oh from Pinkie "Did you guys decide on whether you wanted to go on the mission with me?" Twilight asked openly

"I will definitely come with you, Twi. I've been waiting my entire life for this moment" Lyra answered walking up next to Twilight's throne

"Sorry darling, I just can't, I have to open up a new store in Trottingham and keep an eye out on the stores that are already opened, I'm getting some bad reviews on some of them. Plus, this doesn't sound like my cup of tea" Rarity responded getting an understood from Twilight

"Heck, I'll come with yall, this should be fun" Applejack replied with a warm smile

"Going to another world? I'd sign up any day!" Rainbow Dash gleefully cheered putting her hoof up into the air

"I hate to be a party-pooper, but I can't go with you! I have too many parties planned out to go with you guys. Maybe next time?" Pinkie said with a frown

"That's alright Pinkie, all of us have got responsibilities" Twilight reassured Pinkie, a smile reappearing on Pinkie's face. "Now that we've settled who's going and who's not, we start to prepare what we're taking with us over to the other side" Twilight stated slamming her hoof on the table

"Like what?" Applejack curiously asked

"Scrolls, cameras, feathers, ink, saddlebags, notepads, and food. I want whoever is going through the portal to help me get those few items, and if you, Rarity or Pinkie would like to help, you can" All of them nodded in agreement "Applejack can get the food for our trip" Twilight stated as Applejack darted off to do her quest "Rarity, will you please go get us some scrolls and ink, please?" Twilight asked, Rarity saluted and walked out the door "Pinkie, can you please get me some feathers and notepads?"

"Here you go!" Pinkie exclaimed, sliding several feathers and notepads across the table, halting right before they slid of the table

"Thank you. Rainbow Dash, can you get two or more cameras with a lot of film? And a few saddlebags?" Rainbow Dash was gone in a flash "And finally, Lyra, you stay here, we need to do the exact coordinates"

"Yes ma'am" Lyra hollered while Twilight got out of her throne "What's the first step?" Lyra asked taking a few steps back from the table

"First of all, everypony by the table, stand back, that means you Pinkie" Twilight ordered as Pinkie practically teleported away from the test zone "Now, I will cast a spell of travel on the portal, then you, Lyra will join in and think about the year, place, and time" Twilight explained, Lyra walking up right next to Twilight. Twilight closed her eyes, focusing on the spell matrix. Unlocking the matrix, Twilight slightly levitated in the air, a dark, purple beam shot from the top of her horn impacting the frame of the portal. The magical beam shot back at Lyra, making her levitate in the air a few inches. Focusing, Lyra thought of the year, the forest they were going to enter, and thought of the season. Summer. Shooting her own minty green beam at the portal frame, the frame absorbed the beam, canceling the spell matrix.

"Now that, that's done... we wait for the others to come back" Twilight, somewhat, tiredly stated

One by one, the sent out retrievers brought their requested items. Laying them on the work station, they all surrounded it. "So, we got the supplies, what next?" Rainbow asked looking over to Twilight

"We gear up, everypony take one of each" Twilight ordered, instantly the ponies who were going to the other side grabbed a saddlebag, camera, and other miscellaneous items.

"How do you plan on getting back?" Rarity asked

"I made a hoofheld device that's wired to the portal interdimensionally" Twilight said pulling a small gray, box out one of the little pockets in the right side of her saddlebag. It had a big red button, incased in a plastic hatch so it wouldn't accidently be pressed. "When I press this button, a replica of the blue part of the portal, just like the portal in this room, will appear a few feet in front of us" Twilight stated putting the device back into her saddlebag

"You girls have fun!" Pinkie cheered, bouncing towards the door

"Wait, Pinkie" Twilight called out, stopping Pinkie in her tracks

"Yes, Twilight?" Pinkie asked

"Can you hang this scroll outside the door? It's a don't enter this room until this scroll is down scroll" Twilight explained giving the scroll to Pinkie in her magic

Pinkie took the scroll and put it in her mane "Will do!"

"See you two later" Twilight waved seeing them exit the room, hearing the click indicating the door has shut, Twilight looked back at the group "I will be the first to go, then Rainbow Dash, Applejack, then Lyra. When you get to who knows where, be precautions at all times. And remember, their world is run by physics, that means most if not all magic will be canceled out. That means flying, super strength, and magic. We don't need to worry about the hoofheld device because that's wired through the multiverse" Twilight spewed out all the possible information making Rainbow land on her hooves.

Walking to the on-ramp before the portal, Twilight looks back at her friends "Let's hope that we will discover a lot in this mission" Twilight hoped looking back at the portal stepping a hoof forward, then another, and another. She could feel the breeze pull at her as she stepped closer and closer. She was met face to face with the blue, spiraling portal. With her heart pounding, she took another hoof forward, her muzzle was now engulfed in the portal. It was pulling at her skin, begging that she step all the way in.

With one final step, she was engulfed in the portal, seeing nothing but blue, and feeling like she was falling
