"So," began Twilight. "You three used to be humans, but suddenly a portal appeared and took you here?"

"Yes," nodded Leon. "Is there any way to get us back home, Princess? I'm really needed there now."

Twilight folded her ears as she said, "I'm sorry but I don't think there is a way to get you back to Earth. I'll try to find a way for you to go back, but for now you'll have to be a pony."

Leon sighed. He turned to Alexi and said, "If you hadn't gone through the portal then we wouldn't be here!"

"Who asked you to jump after me?" asked Alexi.

"You're Commander Philapos' son. You are a total idiot, and if I didn't jump after you..." Leon began but trailed off.

"What would've happened?" asked Alexi.

"I'm a soldier, and it's my duty to keep you safe." Leon said.

"That's your excuse for everything," Alexi said rolling his eyes.

"At least I don't keep saying 'The war won't be won with guns, but with money' like you do."

"Hey! It's true."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"THIS IS YOUR FAULT ALEXI! ONLY YOURS!" shouted Leon. His shouting voice sounded just a little louder than his normal one.

"IT IS YOURS!" Alexi shouted back.

"YOURS!"

"IF YOU WEREN'T SUCH AN IDIOT-" Leon started.

"WHAT?" asked Alexi.

"IF YOU WEREN'T COMMANDER PHILAPOS' SON, THEN I WOULD HAVE-" Leon tried to say but was interrupted.

"YOU WOULD'VE DONE WHAT? KILLED ME?" asked Alexi.

"I WOULD HAVE-"

"ENOUGH!" shouted Twilight. "Enough arguing! You two remind me of the first time that I had a slumber party and Applejack and Rarity wouldn't stop arguing!"

"Sorry Princess," they both said.

"I apologize for the fact that my cousin is such an ill mannered idiot."

"Oh yeah?" asked Alexi. "Well I apologize for the fact that my cousin is such a...such a... that he's such an annoying grumpy face!"

"What did you say?"

"I called you a grumpy face."

"Then you're a chicken."

"I'm braver than you are!"

"Then why were you hugging me when that wood thing was attacking?"

"I wasn't hugging you; you were hugging me!"

"No, I wasn't!"

"Yes, you were!"

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No!"

They started yelling things in Greek.

"Δειλός!" (Coward)

"Ηλίθιος!" (Idiot)

"You are a Ηλίθιος!" (Idiot)

Twilight's horn shot fireworks into the air, and the stallions stopped their bickering. "Can both of you not fight for once?" the mare asked. "And what was that language you were speaking in? I've never heard it before."

Leon answered before Alexi could. "We'll try, Princess. We were talking in Greek, which is the language of our country, Greece."

"You're from Greece?" asked Twilight.

"Yeah, we told you before," said Alexi.

"Um...All you told me before was..."

Twilight Sparkle was sitting on her throne in her castle of friendship when suddenly the doors burst open and two stallions came in. She was startled and jumped, but relaxed when she saw that it was just two ponies. "Hello," she began. "My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle, the Princess Of Friendship. How can I help you?"

The duo rushed forward and before Leon could open his mouth, Alexi began, "We're humans from Earth and when we were talking a swirly thing appeared out of nowhere and we jumped in and came here."

"And all I know about you is that you're humans from Earth who came here using a portal." Twilight finished.

"Heh," Alexi rubbed the back of his head with his hoof.

"I'll explain everything," Leon told her. "We're humans from Earth, and were born in Greece. I'm a soldier, and my name is Lieutenant Leon. He" Leon pointed to Alexi "is my cousin, Alexi. I was shouting at him for doing something completely stupid, and then suddenly a portal appeared out of thin air. Alexi jumped into the portal and I went after him so that he wouldn't do anything stupid."

"I see," said Twilight. "That explains why you're wearing that. Well, it's nice to meet you, Leon and Alexi. Welcome to Equestria."

Leon, being polite, said, "It's nice to meet you too, Princess Twilight."

Just then Pinkie Pie burst in. "It's time for the party!" she exclaimed.
