“Well that was, weird.”

“Weird? Try more weirder than Discord and Pinkie Pie combine.” Rainbow Dash says following Twilight.

“Uh huh. Definitely more weirder.” Pinkie nods her head in agreement.

“So, what now?” Applejack asks them all.

“Now? Now we’ve..., I don’t know. It just let us banish him so easily. There has to be a catch.” Twilight answers her.

“Well whatever ‘catch’ it is, it’s gone now.” Rarity says after Twi.

“Yes but what if it’s...-“ Twilight gets interrupted by her own train of thought.

What if it wanted us to banish him? What if he’s plotting something real sinister that involves having to be banished?

So many questions, not enough answers

What if he was banished to the same universe where my Canterlot High friends live?

“Something the matter darling?” Rarity asks Twilight. “You're just standing still while staring off into space. Everything’s alright?”

After another minute or two Twilight speaks up: “We have to go NOW!”

“Uh, pardon?” Rainbow Dash asks her.

“I’ll explain on the train ride back. But we gotta leave now” Twilight says to everyone.

* * *

On the train ride back to Ponyville, all six ponies in silence (even Pinkie), until Applejack speaks up: “Alright Twi, what is it? What’s happening?”

“Well, I don’t know exactly but I don’t wanna risk anything.” Twilight takes a deep breath. “I wonder. The Toras was so easy to defeat. What if he was planning something big?”

“Something big? Like what?” Rarity asks her.

“I don’t know. But what if he’s banished to another universe? And that universe is the same one that my Canterlot High friends live.”

Rarity gives her usual shocked gasp. “You don’t suppose?”

Twilight looks at all her friends. “There’s only one way to find out.”

* * *

As soon as they returned to Ponyville. the six ponies immediately went to return the elements to the tree of harmony, just to be safe for now.

After that they would all meet in the castle of friendship’s throne room, there to discuss what they’ve experienced.

“I don’t get it. How, why was that so easy?” Rainbow Dash says to all of the ponies, each sitting on their own throne.

“I don’t know either but I do feel that there’s more to this.” Twilight says back to her. “If what I think is correct, and I hope I’m not, then we have to act soon.”

Twilight walks out of the throne room to go and find Spike, yelling all throughout the castle’s long, empty hallways for him.

After about a minute of walking she finds the purple dragon in her room, sleeping all curled up, hugging his tail like it’s a plush toy, on her bed’s covers.

Twilight brings a smile to her face, going over to nudge him gently, waking him.

“Oh you're back.” Spike says to her before going back to sleep then immediately opening his eyes wide, standing tall on the bed. “I mean, nice to see you again.” Spike says as he shakes her hoof. Twilight giving a smile.

“So what happened? Did you banish it?”

“Technically yes. But we’re still not done yet I feel. And we’ll gonna need your help.

“Really?” Spike says excitedly, a wide smile appearing.

“Yes. And you can help by bringing me my journal I use to write to Sunset Shimmer, and to bring it to the throne room where my friends are at. Okay?”

Spike jumps off the bed. “Okay.” Spike says excitedly then running out of her room towards the library.

Twilight gives a smile before walking back to the throne room.

Once in the throne room Twilight goes to sit at her own throne.

“Anypony with any idea on how to handle this situation while I was gone?” Twilight asks her friends, though all five shaking their heads no, giving a strug.

“You got anything?” Fluttershy asks Twilight.

“I think maybe. Though it is risky.” As soon as Twilight stops talking, Spike comes into the throne room, journal tucked in his arm.

“Ah, thanks Spike.” Twilight says as she levitates the book from his grip.

“Eh, it was nothing.” Spike says confidently.

Pinkie takes just one look at the book. “Your plan is to write to Sunset Shimmer with this.” Pinkie appears by the journal. “journal to ask if she sees anything out of the ordinary involving equestrian magic because you think that the Toras maybe was banished to the same universe that all of your Canterlot High friends live.” Pinkie lets out a squee, big smile, her friends plus Spike staring at her.

“Okay. I would ask how you knew all that but you are Pinkie Pie.” Twilight says, Pinkie bouncing over to Spike.

“You think it’ll work?” Applejack asks Twilight.

“We’ll see.” Twilight answers AJ, opening up the journal to a fresh, blank page. “Also I should mention. While Sunset and her friends are keeping an eye out for the Toras, we should look for him too. Even if it involves having to travel to other universes.”

“Pfft. That’s all. Just get to writing so we can start right away.” Rainbow says confidently, finding and taking a quill from somewhere and throwing it over to Twilight, her catching it with her magic.

All five of her friends give a quick smile towards her, Twilight doing the same for them.

“Ok.. let’s do this.” Twilight lifts the quill up to the paper, starting out with: “Dear Sunset Shimmer.”
