I'd like to thank FeinesFabi for the outstanding ending idea he gave me! Thanks!

I still couldn't believe I'd teleported to Twilight's house. It was as if I had found 100,000 dollars while walking home from the park! Okay, more like 100 dollars. Alright, alright, 20. But the point is that I enjoyed that feeling and I would cherish it for however long I'd like to cherish it. Downstairs, I heard some familiar voices.

"Well, we have to help her. She's gone crazy!"

"I dunno, she's probably just stressed, that's all."

"I say she's a new form of crazy!"

"Everypony, please! You're being ridiculous!"

"Are we now?"

I slowly leaned over the edge and pulled myself away as soon as I saw four ponies. Applejack, Rainbow, Pinkie, and now Rarity were arguing back and forth...about me. I had to put a stop to this once and for all. I started quietly toward the stairs, then stopped short. I looked toward the ladder and grinned. Might as well make an entrance, I thought deviously. I made a somewhat running start and jumped off the edge. And, what do ya know, I stuck the landing! Well, sort of. I was still wet from the rain, so when I landed, I ended up on my stomach. All of the ponies were staring at me, and I had to laugh.

"What? You've never seen a pony jump before?" I asked. "Come on, now." Rarity was the first to take action.

In minutes, I was wrapped in a fuzzy towel, a thermometer shoved into my mouth, and guided back upstairs (using the stairs, thank goodness) to sit on Twilight's bed. Oh, but the fun didn't start there. Soon, I was spoon-fed hot tomato soup—against my will after I said I was fine a million times—and showered with questions.

"Twilight, we've been searchin' everywhere for ya!"

"Where were you hiding, anyway?"

"How'd you get in here? Are you part ghost?"

"I came all the way here for you, dear. Now tell me what's going on!"

I laughed at all the questions being thrown at me.

"Look, I don't feel like explaining again, but I came here to apologize," I explained. "It was wrong of me to say those things, and I'm really sorry. I was just really stressed that no one would believe me, and I was really scared after I got transported into this body—uh, forget about that statement. But the point is I'm just really sorry and I hope I haven't tainted our friendship. In fact, I'd get if you'd never wanted to speak to me ever again..." One by one, each of the ponies, except a confused Rarity, looked at one another and smiled at me, each took turns giving me a hug. I felt loved again!

"I think I speak for everpony when I say, we're sorry for not supportin' ya in the first place," Applejack said. "If we would've stopped and listened, none of this would've happened." I smiled.

"There's a difference between being angry, losing it, and being stressed out," I told the group, smiling down at the floor. "I was losing it back there. A little dragon told me that. Where is Spike, anyway?"

"We're not sure," Rainbow said. "We think he's with Fluttershy, but she's not here."

"If that's the case, then where are they?" I asked in panic. "Didn't she follow you out of Canterlot or something?"

"Of course not. She went and got me." I looked up and made a sound between a gasp and a squeak. Standing next to a proud-looking Zaria was none other than Princess Celestia! What was she doing here? Didn't she hate me from screwing up that project or something?

"Your friend told me about your little dilemma," she began, "and she came to me for help when I flew off."

"So, she told you everything?" I asked nervously. My eyes widened when the princess nodded.

"Yes, everything. Maya." I grinned sheepishly and looked toward Zaria.

"Forgive me?"

"I'm really sorry!" she cried, and I laughed and squeezed her tight. Once we were done, I stepped beside Zaria and noticed something hiding behind the princess's left leg.

"Hey!" I cried, using my magic to place the object in front of me. "S-Spike? What were you doing behind the princess?"

"Helping," he answered, as if it were obvious.

"Wait, so...you believed me this whole time?" I asked, putting the dragon down. Spike shrugged.

"Maybe." I laughed and squeezed him into a hug.

"Uh, I hate to interrupt this whole happy moment here, but, what in tarnation is goin' on here?" I had to laugh at AJ's reaction.

"Allow me to explain," Celestia said. "Apparently, after these two took a particular quiz, they were somehow merged between Twilight and Fluttershy. After this collision, they began acting like their regular selves, but with the real Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy's genes still implanted in their brains, they began acting differently."

"So, basically these two got stuck in our friends' bodies, and by their combined personalities, it resulted in negative effects?" Pinkie asked. We all stared at her.

"What?" she asked innocently. "Can't a girl be smart from time to time?"

"Yeah, but not in this situation," Spike replied.

"Nevertheless, the point is that this unexpected merge is beginning to stretch a bit of the fabrics of time between Equestria and your world girls," Celestia went on. "If the merge had been expected, then time would've run by smoothly without any glitches."

I nodded.

"So, if everybody knew this little merge was going to happen, nothing bad would result because it?" I tried to clarify. "No weird personality effects or anything bad?" The princess nodded.

"Precisely."

"Okay, so what happened to the real Twilight and Fluttershy?" Rainbow asked the princess.

"I'm afraid half of them are still in their former bodies, while the other half of them are inside these girls' former bodies," the princess explained.

"Twilight and Fluttershy are in our bodies?" Zaria cried. The princess nodded again.

"Well, we know why our friends have been acting weird lately," Rainbow said, eying me. "But that doesn't explain how we can switch the two back." Celestia smiled.

"I might know a way," she said. "We haven't got much time, but there's still a way. In order for it to work properly, we'll have to contact Twilight and Fluttershy. With their true energy source, we might be able to switch them back in no time."

"Um, do we have to right now?" Zaria asked suddenly. "Because...I, I kinda like being Fluttershy..."

"Huh?!" I cried, staring at her. "You've only been her for a day and a half! You nearly crashed if it weren't for me, and—" I lowered my voice to the next sentence I said.

"You don't even like the show that much."

"So?" Zaria said loudly. "I want to stay like this for a while. But you can go back. Take some pictures and tell me what I'm missing, okay?"

"I'm afraid that won't work," the princess informed us. "In order for this spell to process correctly, you'll have to go back together, not separately."

Everyone was silent and staring at each other. It did feel nice to be Twilight, but I knew her friends missed her, and I couldn't prevent her from seeing them.

"Zaria, we have to go back," I told my friend.

"No we don't!" Zaria objected. "Give me one good reason!"

"'Cause we have another life as well, and we can't keep Twilight and Fluttershy from seeing their friends and family. We've had some fun, I guess, but we've gotta go back."

"I don't wanna," Zaria complained, pouting.

"Please?" I begged her.

"No," Zaria said again. This was why she was difficult to deal with. If she wanted something badly, she tried to accomplish the task and earn it. Now was not the time to be all whiny.

"Zaria, listen," I tried. "I know you love the flying, and I love the magic. But think about how Fluttershy and Twilight must feel. If they'd do the same thing for us, by going back to their world, we have to do the same thing for them." Zaria was really silent then. Everyone was looking at her expectantly, their eyes wide.

Zaria groaned and hung her head.

"Alright, let's do this."

A half an hour later, Zaria and I were saying our last goodbyes. Celestia was able to contact Twilight and Fluttershy, who agreed to use the most of their energy to help with the spell. I can't explain how she did it since I was unconscious while Celestia was talking to Twilight and Fluttershy.

"I'm going to miss all of you," I said sadly. "I wish I could've spent more time with you. That would've been great, wouldn't it?" The ponies nodded.

"We'll miss ya too, sugar cube," AJ said sweetly. I smiled and gave her a soft hug as Zaria hugged Rainbow Dash and Rarity.

"Too bad I wasn't able to throw you a Welcome Party," Pinkie sighed. "It would've been amazing!" I smiled and squeezed her tightly.

"I know it would've been more than amazing. It would've been stupendous. You always throw the greatest party, Pinkie."

Zaria and I hugged everyone else, including the princess, and slowly stepped in the middle of the room, holding hooves. Celestia's horn glowed a bright white, and I felt as if I were floating through a stable object. There was another bright light and when I opened my eyes, I could see Zaria and I floating up and down in a glittery white force field. We had our normal bodies back, and Twilight and Fluttershy were lying on the floor as if they were asleep.

"I'll put them under special medical care just in case. But we'll all miss you two very much," Celestia said, nodding her head. "If you ever decide to come back, we won't mind at all."

"Well, that's gonna be a problem because we actually don't know how to come back here," I explained. The princess gave me a secretive smile.

"Don't worry. Perhaps you'll find another way back," she said suspiciously.

"I wish," Zaria mumbled. I smiled at her as we both glowed brighter and brighter. The ponies shouted their final goodbyes as we glowed incredibly bright. I smiled down at Spike.

"Hey. Thanks for being the first one to believe me," I said, winking. I looked at Rainbow Dash. "Oh, and Dashie?" I added. "Much earlier, I asked Spike if that project was to brainwash everyone to become a show-off like you!"

"Wait a minute, you did what?"

I laughed.

"Bye-bye!"

Zaria and I soon evaporated into thin air and were slowly brought back to the real world. We were both settled on the bed, the door was closed, and the Cool Math website was still on my computer screen. Downstairs, I heard the TV playing and my mom laughing. Outside, dogs were barking, cars were driving down the street, and kids were screaming. Everything was back to normal.

"Can you believe what just happened Maya?!" Zaria screamed. I smiled at her.

"Yeah," I answered calmly. "I think we just encountered our inner ponies!"

THE END

Author's Note

I changed the beginning a bit. Since Maya's still wet, the ponies treat her and they really (especially Rarity) wanna know what's going on. So, yeah! Keep readin', everypony!
