Chapter 3: The Big Reveal. (P.O.V. Switch, Soren.)

"You guys are so aggravating." I scream.

"Runs in the family." Cress hi-fived his kid.

"See that button that says Crane controls"

"Yeah," Dancer pushed Scootaloo out of my chair.

"Press it follow the instructions."

"Okay." She pressed the button and the crane came on.

The beam I was on lowered and moved toward the command deck. The loud machine puffed and whirred as it stopped at the deck. I jumped off and landed next to my controls. "Why couldn't you just fly?" Scootaloo asked.

"I haven't perfected hover flight yet, and it's gonna be hard when all I have are blueprints."

"C'mon, there's some ponies I'd like you to meet before we go to Canterlot." Cress signalled for us to leave.

"We, do I hafta?" I groan.

"Yes It's imperitive for you be with us,"

"Fine, it's not like I have anything better to do."

"That's better," Scootaloo did parkour over the railing and walls landing next to Cress in seconds. "C'mon slowpokes, time's a waistin'." Dancer smiled and did the same thing but with grace.

"Why the buck not?" With a running start I clear the railing and flipped through the air swinging from dangling cables, and landing with the grace of an elephant. "Let's get this over with." Cress led us to the library. "I've already met the librarian, she's pretty cute, and smart."

"You like her, don't you Soren?"

"No," He raised an eyebrow. "Okay maybe, but I don't think I'm her type."

"Don't know if you don't ask," Cress reassured as he opened the door. What I saw was I'll admit strange, two Alicorns a blue stallion and a purple filly. "I would like to introduce Tobias and Sabrina."

"Those names are human, where did you find humans?"

"How do you know about humans?"

"I've lived on the moon not under a rock, parallel dimension technology still flusters me, how'd you get it to work?"

"It was me-ee." The pink one was bouncing around higher than a superball.

"Damn you bounce higher than a superball." The blue one took the words right out of my mouth.

"Let me through, Scootaloo was squeezing between my legs, and rolled in front of the one I assumed was Sabrina. "Hi there I'm,.."

"Scootaloo,"

"How did you know?"

"Magic," She pointed to her horn.

"That makes sense."

"She's a natural," I whisper to Tobias.

"Yeah, I'm still floored that this place is real, but the one on TV is alot different than this one."

"You're probably looking into a different dimension, or your dimension has a filter, I would like to believe the latter."

"We should get going," Cress said.

"Right with ya." I walk over to him.

"Coming," The three fillies replied in unison and ran over to us."

"Let's get this over with," Tobias was like me, could he be the human version of myself? He had the aditude, and he did sound like me. "Can you fly with those,"

"What?"

"Can you fly with those wings alone, or do you have another source of propulsion?"

"I have hi speed propulsion but,"

"Hover propulsion keeps flooring you."

"Yeah, how did you?"

"Tell you what, after this whole Canterlot thing, I'll take a look at it, maybe two gearheads can get a working prototype, I mean think of all the good hover tech can do for mankind, I mean ponykind."

(P.O.V. Switch, Tobias.)

Tobias' mental log, day one, these creatures aren't much different from humans, some are kind, while others not so much. Then there's the whole thing with Cress, I am seriously not buying the whole Titans thing, but I'll just play along maybe I can get some kind of answer from these Princesses. As I stare out the train window my mind escapes me, for the first time I felt happy, it had been too long to remember the last time I felt like this.

"You know I've tried the whole inner monologue thing, doesn't work as well as you'd think." Soren broke the silence.

"Yeah, I just needed to think,"

"So how are you adjusting to this whole alternate dimension?"

"I guess, alright Sabrina's doing better than I am." I watch as Sabrina talks and laughs with the other two little ones.

"That's because she has imagination, a loosened grip on reality, you however had to grow up, and when you grow up it's hard to stay a child at heart, while your head grows for responsibility." Soren's words softened the blow of culture shock, was I really that close minded.

The train slowed to a halt and the doors slid open, reminded me of a subway train. Everyone else rose to their hooves and shuffled out the doors out into the station. I decided to follow into Canterlot Central Station, and find the others. I was bumped and thrown in all directions by angry ponies. One knocked me to the ground but stopped to help me up and apologized. "I'm sorry Dude didn't see ya there," The white unicorn with a neon blue mane held out her hand. "Name's Vinyl, I was kinda in a hurry, pickin' up this last part for my turntable maintenence, now I'm back to Ponyville, catchya on the flipside,"

"Bye," I shouted as she turned away and ran for the train sliding between the closing doors.

"It's hard to find ones like that," A female voice sounded from behind, by instinct I turn to find a black mare with a crooked horn.

"Who are you, what do you want?"

"Oh just a passerby, someone who knows more than she should, human."

"How do you know?"

"I know quite a lot oh naive child, you will help me, in exchange for one wish, anything you desire and I shall give it, all you have to do is help me find my brother."

"Anything?" Her offer did pique my interest.

"Yes anything, you have three weeks to weigh your options, choose carefully, the right choice shall be rewarded, while the other will cost you dearly, remember that,"

"How will I reach you?"

"You don't have to, your days are numbered make sure that number is not twenty-one." She backed away into the crowd and disappeared, as Cress walked up beside me.

"Good I found you, come your audience awaits your performance." He patted my back and led me toward the castle.
