Flash asked his wife. "Yeah. I'll probably be back by the day after tomorrow." Twilight replied. "Be careful dear and have fun with your friends. Same for you too Spike." Flash said to the both of them. "Will do Flash." Spike said. 'Don't miss me too much." Twilight teased. She pecked him on the cheek and turned to face the mirror. She stepped through it into the mirror world and Spike followed her. Meanwhile, at Canterlot High, Rainbow Dash, that world's Twilight, Sunset Shimmer, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy were awaiting the arrival of their two friends. It had been two years since the events at Camp Everfree had occurred and the group had already graduated high school. They had always put off getting together until then due to the Equestrian Twilight's busy schedule. However, now that they were finally able to get together, they weren't going to waste even a second of their time together. "Yes! I can't believe the other Twilight is coming back after so long!" said Rainbow Dash. "YEAH TWILIGHT'S COMING!" screamed Pinkie Pie. "Yay!" Fluttershy whispered. "Do you think she'll hate me?" Twilight wondered. "Nonsense darling! She'll love you." Rarity reassured her. Suddenly, Spike flew out of the portal and landed face first on the ground. "Ugh, my head." Spike groaned. Applejack helped him up. "You okay little fella? Where's Twilight?" asked Applejack. "She's not here yet?" Spike wondered. "She stepped into the mirror before me so she should be here." "Oh no, did something happen?" said Fluttershy. "Well, I certainly hope not!" said Rarity. "Calm down guys." Sunset Shimmer said. "She's fine. Nothing has ever happened with the portal before. She'll probably be here before you know it." she reassured them. 1 hour later "What the hell is going on in there?! Where is Twilight?!" Sunset Shimmer screamed. "That's what I'd like to know too!" Rainbow Dash screamed back at her. "Guys, calm down! We gotta handle this like mature adults!" Applejack said. Spike looked at the portal. "Where is she?" he wondered. "Come on little cutie." a big buff guy said. "Yeah we just wanna have a little fun." said another guy. Twilight was currently running for her life from a bunch of goons. She had been running from them for the past two hours. Once she arrived in this foreign world, she immediately knew it wasn't like the human world she was used to. She had landed on the floor of what seemed like a bar where she met these guys. The buff guy, Aaron had started touching her inappropriately and he called his friend Josh to help him out. Aaron had dark brown skin and long black hair that he tied up in a bun while Josh was lean and white with blonde hair. She ran out and had been trying to lose them ever since. She kept running until she found herself at a dead end. No! Twilight thought. Josh ran over to her, grabbed her and held her still. "What do you wanna do with this one?" Josh asked. "Leave her to me. We're gonna have a lot of fun." Aaron grinned. He started undressing. "Let go of me!" Twilight tried to get free but it was no use. Josh was way stronger. "NO! "I have to return to Equestria immediately and inform her family and the other princesses." Spike told the group. "We understand. If we can help in any way, please call us." Sunset Shimmer replied. Spike nodded and stepped through the portal back to Equestria. Once again Spike flew out of the portal and landed on the floor. He quickly got up and started looking for Flash. On his way, he saw Starlight the shelves of the library. "Starlight! Something awful has happened! Twilight's missing!" Spike said. "What?!" Starlight exclaimed. "Where's Flash? Oh man, he gonna be so pissed when I tell him." said Spike. "Tell me what?" Flash asked from behind him. Spike turned around and exclaimed "Twilight's missing!" "WHAT?! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!" Flash screamed "She never arrived at Canterlot High. The girls said she didn't come through the portal." Spike said. "Alright listen. Spike, go alert Princesses, Celestia and Luna of the current situation. Ask them to send some guards over to Ponyville to help with the search. Send letters to Twilight's parents as well as Cadence and Shining Armor and telling them about this and tell them to come to Ponyville as soon as possible." Flash ordered. "Yes, sir!" Spike saluted Flash and ran to find a quill and some parchment. "Starlight! I need to examine the mirror carefully. Look for any anomalies that would explain why Twilight never arrived at Canterlot High." said Flash. "On it!" Starlight nodded and ran out of the room. Hang on Twilight Flash thought. We're coming. Two hours. Two hours of non-stop torture from those two. "Stop it!" she'd say, but to no avail. They didn't listen. Finally, Aaron had enough and told Josh to let go of her. "Let's go find other babes. This is getting boring" said Aaron. Josh nodded and the two headed back. Twilight was bleeding in several places. Aaron hadn't exactly been very gentle with her. However, she didn't appear to have any life-threatening injuries. I need to get out of here. I need to get back to Equestria. Twilight thought. Somehow, Twilight retraced her steps and found herself back at the bar. Of course, she got some odd looks, but not one person offered to help the poor girl. She quickly ran into the women's restroom and headed to the bathroom stall where she arrived. She stepped into the toilet and flushed it, transporting herself back to Equestria. Back in Equestria, everypony was panicking. It had been about nine hours since Spike had found out Twilight was missing. After getting Spike's letter, Shining Armor and Cadence had teleported to Ponyville. They had also taken the initiative of bringing another squad of their own guards as well to help with the search. Twilight's parents, Twilight Velvet and Night Light couldn't teleport, but they caught the first train to Ponyville and were currently waiting in the library along with Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Spike and Rainbow Dash for any news. After thoroughly examining the mirror, the Princesses and Starlight could find anything unusual that could have caused Twilight to not arrive at Canterlot High. The guards were about to step through the mirror before Twilight came through the mirror and landed face first on the floor, unconscious. "TWILIGHT!" everyone screamed. After taking a good look at Twilight's injuries that she had obtained in the mirror world, Celestia spoke. "We have to get her to Ponyville General Hospital immediately. We can't waste any time. Make sure to alert Night Light and Twilight Velvet to come to the hospital immediately. Tell Twilight's friends about this as well." Celestia told her guards. They nodded and headed to the library to tell them the news. Celestia teleported Twilight, Flash, Cadence and Shining Armor to the hospital. Once they arrived, they informed the doctors of the situation and they immediately started tending to her. The others were to remain in the hospitals waiting area. Hang in there Twilight. Flash thought.
