While the two siblings travel through the mysterious portal they found in their basement, Twilight Sparkle and her #1 assistant, Spike, were relaxing at the castle, hanging out with their friends. Rainbow Dash, the speeding pegasus, was chilling in her seat, reading the latest Daring Do book she loved so much. Applejack sat down in her seat, having a tasty snack of one of her apples she brought with her.

Fluttershy, being the kind-hearted, animal-loving pegasus she is, was feeding a couple of birds while they rested on her soft mane. Rarity, the elegant fashionista unicorn, the mare who stole Spike's heart, was checking herself in her mirror as she was brushing her perfectly curled mane. As for Pinkie Pie, she's merely resting on her seat, eating cupcakes.

And while everyone was minding their own business, Pinkie Pie's Pinkie senses started tingling. Unable to ignore the warning, she quickly addressed the lavender bookworm, who was reading one of her many books.

"Twilight! My Pinkie senses just tingled." said Pinkie Pie

"Is something bad gonna happen?" Twilight asked, getting her face out of her book

"I don't know, but it was a real doozy!" Pinkie replied. And then, right on cue, Pinkie's senses were right on the mark as the whole group heard someone screaming, followed by a loud explosion in the center of town. The force of the impact was so great, it caused the ground to rumble violently. Even Twilight and her friends could feel the force from the castle.

"What the, what was that?!?!?" said Spike in surprise. "You don't think the town could be in danger, do you?"

"There's only one way to find out! Come on, girls, and Spike! Let's go check it out!" said Rainbow Dash. The girls, along with Spike, all headed out the castle in a hurry. Twilight's fear for the ponies' lives grew steadily. The Princess of Friendship prayed in her mind, hoping the town was still in one piece and that the ponies were okay.

They quickly arrived at the town. Much to everyone's relief, the girls discovered that everyone was alright and the town was unharmed. But there was panic and fear in the ponies eyes. All eyes were fixated in one direction of the town.

"Hey, what's going on? What happened?" Twilight asked one of the ponies who was running away from the direction of the crash.

"T-T-T-There's a... c-c-crater. I-It's got...it's got... I... I can't tell you, I'm sorry, Princess," and just like that, the pony ran away even further from the crash.
The Mane 6 and Spike proceed onward.

"It looks like we'll have to find out on our own. Come on girls. Stay close," Twilight said. The Mane 6 quickly ran in the direction of where the crater was seen. Twilight, felt like she could breathe a sigh of relief knowing no one was harmed... or so she thought.

Once they found the crater, the girls and Spike discovered 2 strange creatures lying in the crater, not moving a muscle. Both were unconscious and covered in bruises and cuts. Twilight recognized them as humans thanks to her experience in the human world she visited. However, her friends were completely baffled and clueless on what sort of creatures they witnessed before their very eyes.

"Oh my, these creatures seem hurt!" Said Fluttershy. "Twilight, we've got to get their wounds treated, they might have suffered critical injuries."

"You sure they aren't dangerous?" asked Spike.

"Spike, you've seen humans before, remember? It was back when we helped get my crown back and stop the Dazzlings from taking over the world?" Twilight pointed out.

"Oh yeah, hehe. I kinda forgot," Spike shrugged in embarrassment.

"While, I will agree with Fluttershy that they need help, these two sure do have such divine taste in fashion," Said Rarity.

"This is no time for fashion talk, Rarity. Quick, let's get these two back to my castle before their injuries get infected," said Twilight Sparkle.

Soon, Twilight and her friends carried the two unconscious humans back to the Castle of Friendship as quick as they possibly could. On their way there, the girls hardly paid any attention to the bracelets around their wrists and the potential they'll have in due time.

Thanks to their quick timing, the Mane 6 quickly got the 2 unconscious people to Twilight's castle on time. "Thanks for your help, everypony. I'll take it from here," Twilight said. She levitated the two humans in the air and carried them off to one of the guest rooms where she placed them both on a bed. She then teleported out of the room and back to where the girls waited patiently.

"Fluttershy, I'm gonna need you to keep a watchful eye on them and help them recover. If one or both of them wake up, can you let me know?" asked Twilight.

"Of course." Fluttershy said. Twilight lead Fluttershy to the room where they were sleeping and allowed Fluttershy to nurse them back to health.

Twilight then joins the rest of the girls and head off to the throne room, and started to talk about what they are gonna do next after the 2 humans wake up.

"Are ya sure it was such a good idea to bring them to yer castle like that? Ah mean, I know yer the Princess of Friendship an' all, and ya have good intentions, but are ya sure the humans aren't gonna hurt anypony?" Asked Applejack.
.
"I'm afraid I have to agree with Applejack. We understand that you've had an encounter with humans before and we're very happy for you, darling. But I still feel a bit uneasy about this whole situation," Rarity added

Just as Twilight was about to answer, they heard screaming coming from the guest room, causing the girls and Spike to jump.

"Looks like our guests got themselves an early wake-up call!" Spike said. Everyone got up from their seats and ran and followed Twilight to the guest room.

They entered the room and saw the humans were awake and scared with their backs against the wall as if they were being held prisoner.

"Who are you?!?!" The male human yelled. "W-W-What do you want from us?!"

The woman looked even more petrified the moment she turned to the door and saw more ponies entering the room.

"There are more of you!?!?" She yelled. Twilight and her friends took a few steps back, but then Twilight tossed aside her fears and approached the two startled humans slowly and cautiously.

"Whoa, hey calm down you two." Said Twilight. "We're not here to harm you. We're here to help, so please lower your voices."

"CALM DOWN?!?!" The male said in fear. "WE JUST WALKED INTO A PORTAL BACK HOME, THEN GOT PULLED DOWNWARDS AND NEARLY BROKE OUR BACKS COMING HERE!"

"And to add the icing to the cake, we're in a place we've never been to, surrounded by talking ponies, and you're telling us to calm down! You think we're gonna calm down after we almost got ourselves killed?!" The female said in fear as well.

"I will gladly tell you where you two are if you would just simmer down and--" Twilight stopped mid-sentence just as her eyes finally catch sight of the bracelets on their wrists.

"And what?" The male asked. One thing she knew, she had a lot to explain to these guys and she can tell it was gonna be hard for them to process her interesting anecdote.

Author's Note

Why did twilight stop talking when she saw the bracelets, what could be the story about them?
