Twilight Finally Writes Back...

We're Back

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

All of the creatures of Bikini Bottom were standing outside of the Krusty Krab restaurant to say their final goodbye's to their fellow my little pony friends.

Pinkie and SpongeBob were holding each other tight as they released a big fountain of tears from their blue eyes. Twilight was talking about interesting things with a squirrel, who was wearing a white spacesuit, called Sandy. Rainbow and Applejack were talking with Squidward since they wanted to know what was in the Krabby Patty -- as they had found it absolutely scrumptious. Rarity and Fluttershy were just trying to get everyone's attention so they could head off already.

''Come on,'' said Rarity. ''Aren't you all going to help us swim back to the surface or what?''

''Hold your horseshoes,'' Sandy muttered. ''I'm ready with my spacesuit all tucked up - now, hold on to us so we can manage to swim up to the shore.''

Everypony held onto their partners; Twilight and Applejack were holding onto Sandy, Pinkie and Rainbow were holding onto SpongeBob, Fluttershy and Rarity were holding onto Squidward and Patrick were carrying Spike.

They all started moving their arms, legs, and hooves to swim up and tried to increase their pressure to get to the surface faster. A while later, they all landed on a hill that was a few inches away from the surface because the sea creatures wouldn't be able to breathe air. So, they let the ponies pop their heads out of the water and climb onto a surface area.

Each of the six ponies splattered water off their furs and took off the starfishes that were on their noses. They all glanced around to realise that they weren't at a beach at all, but an island.

There were beautiful animals swinging on the tall tree -- which had cocoanuts hanging from. Applejack licked her lips and rubbed her hooves together as she hopped onto the tree to climb up and grab the products. She kicked it down to the ground, having the ponies move so they wouldn't get smashed. The cowgirl slid on the tree and hopped back to the ground again.

''So, how do we get back to the train station to Ponyville?'' Rainbow asked, draining out the water from her feathers. ''And I don't think I could fly us all there. Neither can Fluttershy or Twilight.''

''Can't you teleport us there, darling?'' Rarity inquired, glancing at the violet alicorn.

''Oh, I don't know if I can do very long distances - that's Starlight's thing.'' Her horn started fizzing due to the water still enveloped around.

Rarity tried powering up her own horn with the presence of blue magic. Although, it had also started fizzing like the violet alicorn. They all paused to ponder to themselves for some ideas.

A lightbulb struck above Pinkie's head as she bounced high onto the tree to grab some leaves and bounced back down to grab some sticks. Everypony stared at her in bewilderment -- wondering what she was doing. Pinkie was trying to combine them together but failed to do so.

Fortunately, the cowgirl finally started to know what she was up to and so lend her hoof at it. She tied multiple sticks together with some vines she had gotten from the tree and threw them on the water to test if they would float. Everypony looked at the two proud ponies with a mix of satisfaction and amazement.

Soon later, they all hopped onto the raft and had Rainbow using her hoof to sail them away.

''Do you still have that map, Twilight?'' Rainbow asked, hopefully.

Twilight scrunched her nose and facehoofed. ''It got all wet so I left it at Bikini Bottom.''

Everypony groaned in annoyance, however, Pinkie got out a scroll from her sentient mane. Twilight tried using her magic to levitate it towards her and unwrap it. Her (and everypony who was peeking over) eyes widened.

''Pinkie?!'' Twilight said, lowering the map. ''Where did you get this?''

Pinkie shrugged. ''I make sure to keep useful things in my mane every time since I do have a gift.''

Rainbow chuckled. ''Looks like your mane is useful after all.''

The cowgirl rolled her eyes and took over the sailing herself since the blue pegasus was distracted in talking. They could already see a beach that had a train station nearby. She tried increasing the sailing up a bit to reach shore already.

Fortunately, they had made their raft onto shore and got off.

Pinkie looked at Twilight, pouting. ''Can we play in the sand now? Please, please?!''

Twilight sighed in exasperation. ''Sure, why not? It's not like we're keeping anypony behind at home if we do.''

Rarity gasped, finding her suitcases laying in the sand, almost covered. Spike bit his lip sheepishly and tried swiping the sand away and lifting it up. The white unicorn used her magic to grab two towels - one for wiping the water off her fur and one for placing on the sand so she could lay on it.

Rainbow and Applejack were playing with a buckball (they had packed in one of Rarity's bags) with Fluttershy and Pinkie.

Twilight grinned sheepishly -- trying to grab a book from the pink earth pony's sentient mane but had received a lollipop that was covered in green pigment substance.

Pinkie turned around to see what her friend was trying to do. Her eyebrow was raised on her expression.

''Let me guess,'' said Pinkie, ''you want to grab a book from my mane but you don't know how to use this?''

Twilight smiled nervously and nodded as Pinkie grabbed a book from her mane and lend it over to her. A wide smile appeared on her lips as she snatched it away from her and zoomed off to read it somewhere quiet.

She was stood behind a tree as she leaned her back against it and flipped open the book. ''I don't think I have ever read this book before, which is unlikely for me because I have read every book in Equestria!'' She turned to the cover again to read the title. ''Unlikely Love - written by Pinkamena Diane Pie!'' Twilight lowered the book, pondering to herself. ''Pinkie writes books?!'' She had spotted an orange earth pony placing a cowgirl hat on top of a white unicorn's head.

Twilight's eyes twinkled in amazement and started skimming through the words in the book.


A few hours later, they galloped off to the train station as the train had churned to get their attention, meaning they had arrived. They all hopped on the train and took their seats.

This time was a different seating plan -- Rarity was sitting with Rainbow with Fluttershy and Pinkie sitting in front of them. Twilight and Applejack were sitting beside them with Spike in between.

''What are ya reading there, Twi?'' Applejack asked, curious.

Embarrassed, Twilight quickly tucked the book in between her hooves. Although, the pink earth pony, who was sitting on the other side of the cart, was smirking happily.

''Hey!'' she called. ''Isn't that the fanfiction I wrote about Rarity and Applejack?''

''What?!'' the former and the latter said in unison.

They then turned around and minded their own business again by talking with their partners, whereas Twilight was covering her embarrassed look behind an open book.

The cowgirl scratched her head sheepishly. ''Hey, Twilight. May I talk to you about something?''

Twilight nodded, putting the book back in one of Rarity's bags with her magic. ''What is it, Applejack?''

She gulped, finding the correct words to begin. ''W-Well, let's just say that this girl has a crush on somepony else. What do you do?''

Twilight rubbed her chin. ''If this pony is you, then they would have the right to know your feelings.'' She wrapped her wing around her for comfort. ''But don't worry, Applejack, because I know that Rarity likes you back as well.''

''What?'' Applejack said. ''Who said I have a crush on Rarity? I don't have a crush on Rarity!''

''Wow,'' Pinkie uttered. ''You really need to keep quiet, AJ, but lucky for you, Rarity is asleep!''

Twilight and Applejack glanced at the three ponies sleeping on the other side of the cart and a baby dragon as well that was in between them. The violet alicorn watched him in awe.

Pinkie bounced over to Applejack. ''We can talk about this another time!''

The train had reached a sudden halt and made everypony in the train cart wake up. They all groaned and rubbed their eyes as they got pushed out by Twilight, Applejack, and Pinkie.

As they got out of the train, Twilight was giving a wink to the cowgirl as a hint. Applejack, who looked very flustered, blushed as she looked at Rarity into her sapphire blue eyes.

''Uh, Rarity?'' said Applejack. ''I wouldn't mind walking you home.''

''My, you're an absolute darling!'' Rarity exclaimed, gripping onto her hoof. As she had sent a wink at a rainbow-maned blue pegasus, they both trotted towards the direction of Carousel Boutique.


Twilight and Spike had finally reached home and threw themselves on the ground to rest. Starlight came around to shook her head and used her magic to carry them off to their beds.

She tucked the baby dragon in his cozy basket and switched off the lights once she heard him snoring off to slumber already. She smiled with a mix of awe and satisfaction before closing the door shut and trotting off to her own bedroom.

Twilight, on the other hoof, was in the throne room with a piece of parchment and an inkpot with a quill inside it that was laying on top of the map table. She jotted the quill on the page to start writing down words.

Dear Princess Celestia and Princess Luna,

My friends and I have just come back from our adventure and it was all so interesting! Oh, boy! Where do I even begin?

We met a pirate on the beach and gave us each a starfish so we could breathe underwater. We dived into the sea and swam all the way down to the bottom to meet some sea creatures, called: SpongeBob, Patrick Star, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, Plankton, and Sandy Cheeks (she's my personal favourite since she is so smart and interesting to learn from).

Since we were sent on a friendship mission and not just for a random adventure, we've helped two restaurants reunite and stop their feud. Or rather, they stopped themselves by letting their feelings out.

The Krabby Patties there are delicious, you won't believe it! If you don't know what they are, they are burgers but even delicious than the ones you get in Equestria! I got to say that this was the most fun adventure in the history of the most fun adventures ever!

Your Faithful Student,
Twilight Sparkle (ex-Princess of Friendship)

P.S. I have stepped down my role as Princess of Friendship because I just don't feel like it's right. I'm not the only one spreading or learning friendship, but my friends as well!

P.S.S. I hope you understand. With love and friendship, Twilight Sparkle

Twilight smiled, signing the letter with her name and rolling it into a tube. She enveloped a presence of purple magic around her horn to dematerialize the scroll out of the window, not wanting to bother Spike from his nap.

Standing in the doorway, Starlight slowly closed it with a peaceful smile and headed back to her room again. Relaxing her head on her pillow, she slowly closed her eyes to drift off to slumber.


At Ponyville Carousel Boutique, Rarity and Applejack had finally reached home (for the white unicorn).

''Thank you so much for trotting me home, Applejack,'' said Rarity with a glimmering smile.

A red blush was stained on the southern mare's cheek as she rubbed her arm sheepishly. As she lifted her head up to glance at the sophisticated white unicorn again, she was surprised by a kiss on her freckles.

Applejack froze as Rarity entered her home with a chuckle. Closing the door, Applejack slowly lifted up her hoof to touch the spot she had just kissed.

She yelped herself in the air, not noticing the white unicorn giving a small posh chuckle in the window before covering it with a purple curtain again.
