"Telekinesis is so boring though," Rainbow groaned. "Unicorns use it every day."

Twilight had asked her friends for advice on what sort of magic she should perform for the school talent show. She said she was going to perform an act of telekinesis, which her friends agreed was a dumb idea... and they also agreed that Twilight was boring.

"Rainbow's right," Rarity admitted, considering she was a unicorn herself. "Telekinesis is too simple. Your talent needs to wow everypony."

"I got an idea! I got an idea! I got an idea," a pink blob of energy exclaimed.

"What's your idea Pinkie?"

In response, Pinkie had some how passed her hoof through the orb to give Twilight a pair of safety goggles. Twilight shrugged it off as Pinkie being Pinkie and took it. She realized she had little trouble using her new appendage on her foreleg and wondered how she somehow learned to use her fingers so fast. She was even doing better at walking on two legs than yester-

"Put it on! Put it on!"

Snapping out of her thoughts, she put the safety goggles on.

"Now put the orb on a flat surface," Pinkie instructed.

Twilight went into the kitchen and placed the orb on the table she ate at.

"Now take this," Pinkie said, throwing a wooden basket through the orb. Twilight grabbed it.

"Now catch the eggs."

"Wait wha- OW!" Twilight didn't react fast enough and got hit by a hard-boiled egg Pinkie threw.

"You didn't catch the egg."

"Pinkie, what does this have to do with my magic talent?" she asked, slightly peeved.

"I don't know I thought it would be fun," shrugged Pinkie.

Twilight sighed. "I'm not doing that."

"Not even as a last resort?"

She sighed again. "I'll consider it."

"Yay!"

"Does anypony else have an idea?"

Right after Twilight left the school, the culprit that posted the photodocked picture of Ms. Briggs as a rhinoceros all over was punished. Carly Shay took the blame, even though it was her friend, Sam Puckett, that pulled it off. Now, both Carly and Sam have to videotape the auditions for the talent show instead of Ms. Briggs because Carly was definitely not going to do it alone. With that problem settled, Ms. Briggs wanted some information from principal Franklin.

"I hear you enrolled another one," Ms. Briggs remarked in disgust. She didn't want to teach another little brat.

"Yes I did," he confirmed. "Her name is Twilight Sparkle and she did surprisingly well on the placement exam, with the exception of United States History."

"Is there anything wrong with her?"

"Excuse me?"

"Almost every time there's some 'super genius' enrolled here, there's something unusual about that child," she explained. "Take that Freddie kid for example. Sure, he's an intelligent one, but his mother acts like her son is going to die from being exposed to the outside world for five seconds." She looked the principal dead in the eye. "That was one of the most painful parent-teacher conferences I had to sit through. Was there anything wrong with her?"

"Well, there was something... unusual about her," he admitted.

"I'm listening."

"Well," he paused, trying to come up with the proper way to word his observations. "her writing style was strange."

"How so?"

"Uhh," he paused again. "she had a horn on her head that glowed. During the test whenever her horn glowed, so did the pencil she used to take the test and when it did it moved on its own."

"And you didn't ask her about her 'usual writing style'?"

"I was distracted," he replied, holding up one of the photodocked pictures. "by this... disrespectful image that... ridicules one of our finest teachers. I was more worried about enforcing school rules."

"I shouldn't have doubted you, principal Franklin," Ms. Briggs said, fooled by the compliment. "I'll investigate Ms. Sparkle throughout the next few weeks, although she seems like one of the better children to come to this school, despite her... horn."

With that, she left the principal's office, leaving him to laugh at Ms. Briggs the rhino. He stopped laughing when she came back.

"Between you and me, I think you need to take some time off. These children might be making you see things."

She left and laughter filled the room again.

At Apartment 8-C, Carly asks her brother, Spencer, for the video camera only to find out he made it into a squirrel. Spencer was an artist and sculptor and it wasn't unusual for him to make sculptures like that. In fact, he made a robot out of soda bottles earlier, which Carly came home to witness. After rolling her eyes at Spencer's squirrel, the subject was changed to the strange girl that lived in apartment 8-B.

"Have you met Twilight yet?"

"No," Spencer replied. "Who's that?"

"She recently moved next to Freddie and enrolled at our school," Carly explained. "I haven't talked to her much since she made Freddie faint by hugging him."

"Why did she hug Freddie?"

"He offered to show her where the school was."

"Why would she want to go to school?"

"She's probably a nerd like Freddie," she joked. "So are you gonna introduce yourself or not?"

"I'd prefer she come here so she can see the robot sculpture," the older brother suggested.

Carly nodded. "I'll go get her."

Dear Princess Celestia,

I am writing this letter to inform you of my current whereabouts. I'm currently taking a "vacation" that will last indefinitely in a city known as Seattle. This "vacation" was requested by Discord after I stressed a little over becoming a princess. I politely declined, but he wouldn't take no for an answer. He kept trying to convince me and my friends that I need a vacation. Apparently, he was successful after showing what Seattle has to offer. Needless to say, I caved into peer pressure and now I'm in a whole new world filled with a different species from ponies. They're called humans and their language is nearly the same as ponies, but with minor differences. I became one of them when I went through the portal. I can't go back to Equestria, because Discord claims he can't send me back to Equestria. There were some inconsistencies in what he was telling me about this place and I don't completely trust what he says, despite his reformation.

I can't exactly say I have learned anything about friendship from this "vacation" yet, but I did make some new friends in Seattle. T-Bow is the manager of the Groovy Smoothie, which sells smoothies of many flavors including jalapeño. Don't ask. I tried the blueberry flavor. Fredy, Sam, and Carly all helped me enroll at their school, where I hope to learn about human customs while also making more friends there.

I already miss home in Ponyville and my friends there. Thankfully, Discord somehow gave me an orb that allows me to communicate with my friends. It also has a complete library of Equestrian and human books, which will also keep me busy. It's going to be hard for me to adjust to this new world, but I don't know what else to do except inform you that I'm unable to solve friendship problems when I'm not in Equestria.

Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle

P.S. I just realized somepony needs to replace me as the Element of Magic for the time being. Is that even possible?

"Spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii... I forgot he didn't come with me to Seattle, which is why I wrote this letter myself."
...
...
She facepalmed when she realized what she just did. "How am I supposed to send this letter to Princess Celestia now?"

Before she could figure out her dilemma, there was a knock at the door.

She opened the door and said, "Hi Carly."

"Hey, Twilight. My older brother Spencer wants to meet you in our apartment."

"I don't see why not."

Upon entering Carly's apartment, she immediately noticed a weird looking statue of some sort. Upon further inspection, she discovered the statue was made entirely out of oddly shaped bottles.

"I see you've noticed my Bottle Bot."

A taller human than Carly, presumably Spencer, had walked into the room.

"I assume you're Spencer," Twilight inquired.

"And you must be Twilight," Spencer replied. "Why is your hair so purple?"

"I was born with purple hair."

"I didn't know people could be born with purple hair," Carly remarked with an eyebrow raise.

"It's possible," Twilight said, unsure if it was actually true for humans.

After looking at Twilight for a bit, Carly became a little suspicious. "I don't think that's true," she said, looking at Twilight from all sides. "I don't think people are born with wings on their back either."

"Weird," was all Spencer could say, while also looking at Twilight.

"This has to be a costume," Carly concluded. "There's no way you were born with wings and... is that a horn on your forehead?"

"I..." Twilight was about to say she was born with her horn, but considered lying and saying it was a costume. "was joking. Of course I wasn't born with wings and a horn. It's a costume."

No wonder that T-Bo guy was looking at me funny, she thought. No human has wings or a horn like me.

"Well it's nice to meet you, Twilight," Spencer said. "and I really like the costume. What are you supposed to be?"

"Thank you. I'm an alicorn princess."

"I don't know what an alicorn is."

"An alicorn is a pony with the magic of a pegasus, a unicorn, and an earth pony combined," Twilight explained, not sure if they'd understand.

"I think I get it," Spencer understood. He's heard of unicorns and pegasi... or pegasuses (He wasn't really sure), but they were on some old children's show Carly used to watch. "It's like some mutant from that old kid's show Carly used to watch when she was five." I just said that.

"That show was horrifying," Carly shuddered. "I'm pretty sure all of those ponies were mutants." She turned to Twilight. "By the way, do you want to know what happened yesterday at school while you were enrolling?"

"Sure."

"Well," she began. "Sam was posting these pictures of Ms. Briggs as a rhino and she wanted me to take the blame for it, so I did."

"Are you talking about those pictures I saw at the school," Twilight asked. "They were kind of funny."

"Those are the pictures and they were funny," Carly confirmed. "but Ms. Briggs didn't think so. Now, Sam and I have to hold auditions for the talent show tomorrow."

"I'm sure the talents will be fun to watch," Twilight assured. "Also, Sam kind of deserved it even if it was funny."

"It's gonna be boring."

"It'll be fun. I'm going to audition," Twilight announced excitedly.

"Really? What's your talent?"

"You'll see at the talent show."

"It better be good."

"Trust me."

"While you're here, do you want to stay for dinner," Spencer asked. "We're having spaghetti and meatballs."

The moment Twilight heard "meatballs" her eyes widened. They eat meat here?

"Umm... s-sure," the alicorn hesitated. "I-I'd like to."

"How are you liking your spaghetti and meatballs?" Carly asked.

"They're great," Twilight responded.

Sure, this "meatball" used to be a living animal, but sweet Celestia they taste so good! I better not tell my friends about this.

"So what was your life like before you moved to Seattle?" asked Spencer.

Twilight didn't know how to answer that. She knew if she said too much, she would probably make them suspicious. Magic wasn't real in this world and talking about it might raise some questions she didn't know if she wanted to answer at the moment. She settled on being as vague as possible.

"I... have a lot of friends back home," Twilight started, but she couldn't find anything else to say.

"What were your friends like?" Carly asked, trying to continue the conversation.

"One of my closest friends is Applejack. She's an apple farmer-"

"So is Applejack a nickname?" Spencer asked.

"That's what her parents named her," Twilight replied.

"So does everybody, where you came from, have weird names like Twilight and Applejack?" inquired Carly. "Your name is kind of weird, but someone named 'Applejack'... that's the name of a cereal."

Twilight nodded.

"And where exactly where did you live before you moved to Seattle?"

The princess didn't know how to answer that. She would've told the truth and said Ponyville but that would've raised a lot of eyebrows. She instead went with the second place that popped into her head. It was one of the states of America close to where they were. "I'm from California."

The siblings looked at each other, Carly shrugged and asked Twilight to continue talking about her friends. Despite acting a little strange, her friends were somewhat "normal" if normal meant they didn't wear a costume with a horn and wings. Well, everyone was "normal" except Pinkie Pie.

"She likes to make ponies laugh and helps run the local bakery," was all Twilight could say about her. "Nopbody... understands how she... operates sometimes. I've tried... and it's impossible."

"A lot of people here are impossible to understand," Carly replied. "including my own brother."

"She's saying I'm abnormal," Spencer added, earning a small chuckle from Twilight. These two sort of reminded her of Pinkie Pie.

Nobody could think of anything else to talk about as they finished the spaghetti and meatballs.

"I should go back to my apartment and keep practicing my talent." The alicorn turned human wiped her face with a napkin. "It was nice talking to you two."

"Same here," Carly replied. "See you at the talent show!"

"I think you should wear that costume at the talent show," Spencer suggested.

"Okay," Twilight mentally sighed in relief. She didn't have to get "human" clothes yet or figure out how to change her hair color with magic.

Twilight waved back at Carly and Spencer and walked back to her apartment.

Twilight finally figured out how to send the letter to Princess Celestia. Apparently, the orb can produce magical fire breath, much like Spike. She could activate it by tapping the fire icon next to the book icon that accesses the library.

Last time she called her friends, she figured out it only takes two taps to actually end the call, and turning off the orb takes three taps. I need a manual for this thing, Twilight complained to herself, trying to call her friends back. She found an icon that looked like a phone from back home and tapped it.

Contacts

Ⓓ Discord

She tapped Discord's name and lo and behold, she was in a video chat with him and Fluttershy.

"Still thinking of a good magic trick to impress those humans?" Discord inquired. "Have you considered Pinkie's-"

"That's the last resort."

"I think it would be hilarious," Discord responded. "You can even do some magic on the hard-boiled eggs after you get hit with them."

Twilight's eyes widened. "That's it."

"Now you're considering doing that," Discord chuckled in surprise. "You'd look ridiculous-"

"I know I will," Twilight acknowledged. "but from what I heard, the talent show has had... dull auditions, so it doesn't matter to me if I look a little silly while showing off my magic."

Silence arose as Fluttershy shook her head in agreement. The princess decided to break the silence using an age-old method.

"So how was your day?"

"It was fine," Fluttershy shrugged. "Nothing much happened."

"My day is going swell," Discord said. "but I have a feeling something interesting was supposed to happen today." He made a thinking face before realizing something. "I forgot to plant those seeds all those years ago."

Fluttershy and Twilight were both concerned. "You forgot to what?"

"Never mind," Discord quickly dismissed. "It's not important."

Twilight got a little nervous when she walked up on stage. Sitting at the table were the three friends she met at Bushwell Plaza. Sam immediately recognized her.

"Hey, it's the girl that knocked Freddie out."

"So Twilight, what are you going to do?" Carly asked in hopes she prevented a brawl that would kill Freddie.

Twilight brought out a chair and the orb and placed them to the right of her. Looking back at her audience she replied, "I'm going to be doing some magic."

"This better be good," Sam groaned.

Carly turned to Freddie. "Rolling?"

"Rolling."

Suddenly, the orb Twilight placed down revealed a pair of safety goggles and she put them on. Of course, the basket came afterwards and Twilight picked it up.

"Egg me," she commanded the orb.

The trio watched in amusement and confusion as the orb shot hard-boiled eggs out of it and Twilight ran around like an idiot collecting all of them.

"Why is she even wearing safety goggles if she's being pelted with hard-boiled eggs?" Freddie asked. Soon enough the answer came to him as one of the eggs somehow hit him on the head.

"She's definitely going to be part of the talent show," said Sam.

"I agree, but for different reasons," Carly replied.

"You can stop now," Twilight told the orb, which did so. She then walked over to Carly and Sam. "You see how these are hard-boiled eggs?"

They nodded, feeling some of the eggs just to be sure. Twilight made the eggs glow and one by one, the eggs started hatching. The teens watched in bewilderment as living creatures started appearing from the eggs. Among the creatures were a chick, a gecko, a penguin, and what appeared to be some sort of dinosaur.

Carly, Sam, and Freddie were speechless as the glow faded. Freddie stopped recording her.

"How did you do that?" Carly asked.

"A magician neve-"

"That's impossible," Freddie asserted. "No magician could hatch a dinosaur from an egg... aaaaaaand it's gnawing on my leg."

Twilight cringed. "I'm sorry. I didn't know that..."

"It's fine," Freddie forgave. "It doesn't have teeth, so it can't kill me... Can it?"

Twilight quickly made the hatched creatures disappear.

"Are they gone?" Carly asked.

Twilight sighed. "Not exactly."

At Hollywood Arts High School, a group of teenagers were eating lunch outside.

"You know it would be nice if something more interesting happened today," Robbie commented.

"Yeah like you getting a haircut," his puppet Rex quipped.

"It has been a little too boring today," Tori acknowledged. "I wonder if-"

Before she could finish her thought a purple flash of light blinded the area and a bunch of creatures appeared on the table. Almost everyone at the table screamed and backed away from the table, except for Jade who was staring at the baby dinosaur.

"Aw," she cooed. "it's gnawing on my finger."

"How did you do that?" Freddie asked.

"A magician neve-" she tried to say, but the orb began to speak.

"Did you win the talent show Twilight? Did ya? Did ya?! Did ya?!!"

Carly walked on the stage, took the orb, and looked at it. There was a bouncing pink pony in the orb.

"Hiya!"

"Gah!"

Carly dropped the orb.

"What happened?" asked Sam.

"There is a talking pink pony in the orb," Carly exclaimed. "I am not joking."

Slowly Sam and Freddie turned their heads toward the horned human, wanting an explanation.

"Ta-da?"

"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! I can explain everything!" the pink one offered excitedly.

Carly picked up the orb. "Spill."

"Well, my name is Pinkie Pie..."

"So Twilight is the princess of your country and she came to Seattle to take a vacation?" Carly questioned.

Pinkie and Twilight nodded.

"And she got the idea from a draconequus named Discord?" Freddie continued.

They nodded again. "Hey you pronounced it right," Twilight congratulated.

"Of course he did. He's a nerd," Sam quipped.

"That's not nice," Pinkie pouted.

"I know," Sam replied. Pinkie furrowed her eyebrows.

Ignoring Sam, Carly continued asking questions. "And you can't get back home and you don't know why?"

Once more they nodded.

"And you didn't bother to tell anyone this, because..."

"I was a little scared something bad might happen to me, considering I'm not technically human," Twilight explained.

"It's okay," Freddie patted her on the shoulder. "We don't care... and I kind of want to learn more about your magic."

Sam was about to say something but...

"Don't call him a nerd again?" Pinkie warned Sam.

"I was gonna call him a dork," Sam grinned.

"Twilight," Pinkie called.

"Yeah?"

"Why is Sam like this?"

"Nobody knows," Carly told Pinkie. "She's nicer once you get to know her. I promise."

Pinkie turned to Carly. "Pinkie promise?"

"I'm not that confident I'm right."

"While we're on the subject of me being a pony," Twilight began. "can you all please keep this a secret for now?"

"I think that would be best," Freddie agreed.

"Carly's my only friend, so you don't have to worry about me," Sam replied.

"What about Spencer?" Carly asked.

Twilight nodded. "Okay, but only Spencer. Nopony else."

"It's 'nobody else'," Freddie reminded her.

"Oh yeah..."

Carly nodded. "I'll make sure he doesn't blab your secret."

"Thank you." Twilight nearly went to hug Carly, but remembered what happened to Freddie and stopped herself.

"I won't pass out," Carly assured her.

They hugged, earning an "aww" from Pinkie.

A few days later, Twilight Sparkle went to Carly's apartment. Freddie was already there knocking on the door.

"Hey Freddie," she waved.

"Hey."

"I’ll tell you something! She is what’s wrong with the world!"

Carly opened the door and they went inside.

"Who’s what’s wrong with the world?" Freddie asked.

"Ms. Briggs," she said, walking into the kitchen where Sam was.

"Well hey. At least she got that brown lump taken off of her nose," he replied following Carly. Twilight followed along as well.

Carly continued with her rant. "I just hate it when adults like her can control what kids can do and see. It ticks me off!"

"What happened?" asked Twilight.

"Ms. Briggs won't let any of the kids we picked join the talent show, including you," Sam said while using a knife on a chunk of meat. "Fredward accidentally uploaded the parts where we were talking about Ms. Briggs's pointy boobs." She continued fiddling with the knife. "Why do they put a bone right in the middle of the ham?"

"Oh well," Twilight frowned. "I don't think the world was ready for my magic anyway."

"Wait a minute," Carly turned back to her friends. "When Freddie uploaded the video, those kids wrote stuff like: you guys should upload more videos and when's your next show and we want more. Let's give them more."

"Okay, what are we talking about?" Sam asked.

"Doing a web show," she explained. "Online, every week."

"Why?" Sam asked.

"Because it can be whatever we want it to be. No adults to say you can't do this, you can't do that. We can do whatever we want. Say whatever we want!"

"Would it mean I have to do... work and stuff?"

"Well, if you're gonna do a show you gotta prepare for it."

"Nah, we'll make it your show. You do the work and I'll just show up and be your amusing little sidekick." Sam began to eat some ham she scavenged.

"Wait, what's the show gonna be about?" Freddie asked.

"Anything," Carly answered. "Something different every week. But for the first show, kids with bizarre-o talents."

Sam liked where this was going. "Clever! Ms. Briggs says 'no, no, no.' We say 'yeah, yeah, yeah.'"

Freddie took a piece of ham and ate it. "Hey, why don't you guys call your show iCarly?" he suggested. "Y'know, I, Internet. Carly, You."

"I like it," Sam nodded.

"iCarly's cool," Carly nodded.

"I also like it," Twilight chimed in.

"And, um, you're gonna need a technical producer, right?" Freddie added. "To set up the lights, audio, work the camera..."

"Can I do my magic on the show?" Twilight asked.

"Of course," Carly said. "I mean your pony magic is amazing." She turned to the only male in the room. "And of course you can be our tech producer, Freddie."

Twilight smiled. She was definitely going to enjoy her vacation, being part of some sort of "web show." She didn't fully understand what that meant yet. She knew what a show was, but what did any of this have to do with webs?

"5, 4, 3, 2!"

The first iCarly web show began. They used the third floor to film the web show, with Spencer's permission... kind of...

Twilight was actually behind the studio because she was one of the "bizarre-o talents." She was patiently waiting for her cue, as she was the last act of the show. She's immediately after the girl who plays the trumpet on a pogo stick.

"Our last talented girl is named Twilight Sparkle," Carly exclaimed.

"That's a weird name. Don't ya think?" Sam added.

"Maybe, but her talent is much weirder! Give it up for Twilight!"

That's my cue, she thought, running up to where Carly and Sam were, holding an apple.

"You see this apple, right?"

"That is an apple," Carly answered.

"What are you going to do to this apple?"

"I'm going to turn it into an orange," Twilight replied, with just as much enthusiasm as the hosts of the show.

"You're not going to cover up the apple before you turn it into an orange?" Sam asked, exaggerating her shock.

"Why would I? The magic I do doesn't involve any tricks. Now watch."

Freddie moved the camera toward the apple, which was now on the table they brought in for her. Twilight concentrated her magic, with her purple aura engulfing the apple. Amazingly, she was able to turn the apple into an orange.

"Wow!" Carly exclaimed. "You didn't even need to say 'Abracadabra.'"

"Alakazam!" Sam exclaimed.

"Hocus pocus!"

"Open sesame!"

"Before we go, one of us should eat the orange so that the viewers know it's a real orange," Carly suggested.

"I'll eat it," Sam volunteered. She peeled the orange, but instead of the normal orange insides one would expect from an orange, it looked a little more like an apple. Shrugging to herself, she took a bite. "This... tastes like an apple," she commented.

"Oops," Twilight said. She didn't think the spell would backfire on her. "I don't know what I did wrong."

"Look on the bright side Twilight," Carly began. "You just created the world's first apple with an orange peel."

"Not only that, but we were also thinking of letting you join us as a third host on iCarly," Sam added.

"Really?"

"Yeah, you'd do great as a host," Carly admitted. "Do you want to join us on iCarly?"

"O-of course I'll be a host!"

"Well since you're the new host you should end the show for us," Sam offered.

"Sure," Twilight exclaimed turning toward the camera. "Thanks for watching the first web show of iCarly. Tune in next time!"

Before the show actually ended, the girl that played the trumpet came back on the pogo stick to play them out. Everyone was jumping around as the trumpet played its tune.

"I'm actually enjoying this," Twilight exclaimed as she jumped with her new friends.

"And we're clear," Freddie cheered, ending the webcast. Everyone was celebrating the new webcast, practically talking over each other about how awesome the web show was.

"Thirty-seven thousand ponies watched your show?!" Rainbow nearly shouted.

"Well, it's not really my show," Twilight admitted. "and they're not really ponies."

"But thirty-seven thousand humans watched you do magic."

Twilight nodded.

"Awesome!"

"I don't know 'bout that, Rainbow," Applejack warned. "What if one of those humans wanted ta use your magic for something bad?"

"I don't think I have to worry about that. Most of them told me they were amazed by the 'special effects.'"

"Your what?"

"They thought Freddie did something with his camera equipment to make it look like a turned an apple into an orange. They thought it was just a gag they did before they revealed me as the third host of iCarly."

"Are you sure you'll be fine?"

Twilight nodded. "I have friends to protect me."

"What about Sam?" Pinkie inquired. "She wasn't very nice."

"Carly probably sees something in her that I don't. I'm sure there's more to her than calling Freddie a 'nerd.'"

"I don't know," Rainbow worried. "She sounds a lot like Gilda."

"I think she just hates Freddie for whatever reason," Twilight shrugged. "She hasn't been rude to anypony else."

"So she's Carly's friend but not Freddie's."

"I-I don't know," she faltered. "Sometimes she calls him a 'nerd' and sometimes she agrees with him. She liked the name for the web show, 'iCarly.'"

"Then why is Sa-"

Before they could keep discussing Sam the orb spit out a flame revealing a letter.

"Sorry guys I have to go," Twilight said. "Princess Celestia sent me a letter."

The call ended and Twilight began reading the letter.

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

Unfortunately, Discord wasn't lying. You cannot return to Equestria, at least not right away. Nopony knows how to make a portal to Seattle. The only other portal I can think of is the Crystal Mirror, but it doesn't lead to the same world from what I can gather. However, I believe Discord is hiding something from both of us, so I'm going to be interrogating him about Seattle. Let's just say it'll be... shocking... for him.

"Wait what?" She shook her head. Yep, she read that right. Her own teacher was going to zap Discord for information. Something tells me I should ignore that and continue reading.

~~Anyways, Equestria has done well without the Elements of Harmony in the past. Granted, there weren't any significant threats before Nightmare Moon returned...~~

Have fun in Seattle! I've got this under control! Please ignore the crossed-out sentence above.

Sincerely,
Princess Celestia

Twilight facepalmed. She facepalmed again. She's... facepalming some more...

She seriously needs to stop facepalming that's gonna hurt after a while.

"Ow," Twilight winced. "Stupid vacation!"

Yes, it's the vacation's fault that you keep slapping yourse- She can't hear me. I'm the narrator.

Author's Note

Well, Twilight's one of the iCarly hosts now... I don't know what else I'm supposed to put in the author's notes, so here's a stock image of a clown playing the keyboard:
