From within the School of Friendship’s chemistry lab, with a proper set of Chemicals, a certain human was working on a few chemicals whilst he carefully looked it over. He was busy measuring the chemicals on the vials and beakers. After pouring the right amount in, he then went to his notepad on the other table and wrote them down for just in case. He moved over to the desk and began to pour the last few in, before writing them down again.

“Alright then, once again.” Said Anon whilst he spoke to himself in order to hear if he was doing this right, “After much experimenting, I have looked over every form of medicine in Equestria that resembles the human world.”

He moved over to the chalkboard as he took a good look at it.

“There were many different forms of medicine when one is diagnosed with a few things.” Said Anon as he was taking notes. “There’s medication for seasickness, to calm one down, for allergies, when you get a headache, when you get body cramps, when you need to stimulate your brain to be awake, as well as vitamins to keep up your health.”

He moved over to another chalkboard, showing different elements and ingredients.

“However, after going through certain trials and errors, I believe the key ingredient to make the ultimate medicine to cure everyone, lies in this vial.”

Anon picked up a large beaker, holding the chemicals he fused together.

“And with one final move, the chemicals will be perfectly synced, and the results will be instantaneous.” Said Anon as he was eager to do this. “Just gotta make…this…right.”

He poured the contents inside. Within mere moments, it turned into a rainbow color of sorts, which surprised him.

“Huh, that’s new.” Said Anon. “I wonder…”

He took a sample and looked at it via microscope. He took a good look at them. And after careful studying.

“Oh. My. Celestia.” Muttered Anon, then cheered in joy, “It works!! I can’t believe it works!! This’ll help for sure!!”

He took another look at it, then noticed something. “Something’s a little off though.”

That’s when he realized, “Oh right, the chemical compound to hold them together.”

He reached out and took a vial and slowly began to pour it, allowing the mixture to accept it. He then took it to a nearby spot that turns chemicals into pills. After going over the machine, he was able to make a bowl full. He smiled with pride as he looked at it.

“Soon my pretties, soon.” Said Anon.

“Uh, what are you doing?!”

“Waaaa!!!” yelped Anon as he stood up and looked back in an instant.

He saw Princess Twilight and Starlight looking at him with a flexed eyebrow. They heard a loud noise coming from the chemistry class and all of them came over to investigate, only to see him talking to pills.

“Are you talking to the pills?” said Starlight in confusion.

“What the…?” said Twilight when she looked at the two blackboards with tons of things written on them. Out of curiosity, she moved over and looked at them. “What’s all this?”

“See, a while ago, I had this idea of wanting to create a new type of medicine. A seven in all kind of thing.” Said Anon.

“Wait,” said Twilight as she looked at them over, “Medicine for seasickness, to calm one down, for allergies, when you get a headache, when you get body cramps, when you need to stimulate your brain to be awake, as well as vitamins to keep up your health?”

“And you’re trying to find a way to combine them?” said Starlight.

“And guess what, it came out a success!!” said Anon.

“Really?” said Princess Twilight surprised.

“Yeah, take a look.” Said Anon as he showed them via microscope.

Twilight took a look through it, as did Starlight. Both of them were amazed by it.

“Wow, amazing Anon!!” said Twilight as she looked through it. Then she looked at him and said “This could be a great breakthrough!!”

“But…it’s not gonna do anything unexpected, is it?” said Starlight in worry.

“Don’t worry it’s not.” Said Anon, “And this time it’s all done with the chemistry sets. Nobody drinking it whilst my back is turned.”

“That’s good.” Said Starlight, “At least we don’t have to worry about any of the students drinking it.”

“Speaking of which, I haven’t seen any students lately.” Said Anon.

Both Twilight and Starlight looked at him confusingly.

“Uh, Anon, it’s Summer break, it started a few hours ago.” Said Starlight.

“Ooooh, that would explain why I didn’t see any students lately.” Said Anon, then whispered, “Or Smolder for that matter.”

“I heard that.” Said Twilight sternly, which made Anon wince. “Anon, I thought you were already passed that.”

“Well can you blame me?” said Anon, “After Smolder drank the chemicals that kept on transforming her, not to mention when Celestia tricked all of you into drinking it too.”

The two of them winced at that, with Twilight saying, “Don’t remind me. I still can’t believe she did that.”

“Plus, you don’t have to worry.” Said Anon, “I used the chemicals that has the labels on them to show what I was working with…”

Anon showed them the empty chemical bottles with the element pictures on them.

“And I triple and quadruple checked everything after double checking it.” Said Anon.

Twilight sniffed and smiled and said, “I’m so proud of you.”

“You’ve been hanging around Twilight for too long.” Said Starlight.

“Well, remember, I’m also the only human living in Equestria. I owe her.” Said Anon, “Plus if it weren’t for her, I’d make myself an even bigger mess, especially since I was the only non-pony teacher that Neighsay wanted to kick out because he didn’t like me. I mean come on, I’ve got a master’s degree at chemistry in the human world, and I also proved myself to the Board of Education that I’m qualified and have a license to work with them, and I’m good at teaching students.”

“Plus, you were taught by Princess Celestia, and yet he still treated you like an outcast.” Said Starlight.

“Though I’m surprised that Celestia didn’t fire him, years ago.” Said Anon.

“She wanted to, but then she’d be afraid she’d be abusing her authority.” Said Twilight.

“Pff, please.” Said Anon, “If I was a ruler, I’d fire people for poor behavior, poor conduct, unfairly pointed out students that weren’t guilty or responsible without proof or evidence, heck, he even accused me, and I don’t even have any magic. Twilight constantly tried to probe me just to make sure I wasn’t.”

“Probed?!” exclaimed Starlight in shock.

Twilight giggled nervously and said, “Long story.”

“And if I remember correctly, he even committed treason by going against the royal rulers of Equestria, namely Twilight.” Said Anon.

Anon stood up and went over to his notes and organized them, which Twilight couldn’t help but smile with pride.

“Yeah, I mean sure, some of them are unpredictable, but who isn’t? I mean ponykind is also unpredictable. No offense to you two and every one of our pony friends on our friend list.”

“None taken.” Said both Twilight and Starlight.

“Plus, if I remember, he didn’t like Earth Ponies and Pegasi either.” Said Anon, “But last time I checked, Unicorns aren’t all that perfect either. I mean look at Stygian and Sunset and Starlight, and all three of them were greatly misunderstood. Sombra was also a unicorn, and he nearly took over Equestria after he enslaved the Crystal Empire. Even Princess Luna, an Alicorn Princess mind you, turned evil when no one appreciated her night, and was ignored by her own sister. And don’t get me started on Tempest, a pony who betrayed her own kind just to get a horn back that was one, impossible, and two, her own fault that she got it broke.”

After Anon was done, he leaned against the table and said, “Cause he’s also a hypocrite. It’s because of ponies like him, as well as others that I described, not only does he bring Unicorns and Cozy Glow bringing Pegasi, but all of Equestria a bad name. So, he should take a good look in a mirror of who he judges. I mean yeah, sure, other creatures beyond Equestria’s borders may have done that a thousand years ago, which was exactly it, but that’s got nothing to do with the new generation or the kids, they never lifted an appendix against Equestria. Plus, each and every one of us are individuals and responsible for our own actions. I mean take me, I judge folks for what they say and do, not by the color of their skin, sex, nationality, or whether or not they have magic.”

Both Twilight and Starlight blinked a few times at that in surprise.

“Wow,” said Starlight, “I’m surprised you didn’t become Ruler of Equestria.”

“Nah, ruling’s not my strong suit.” Said Anon, “Besides, someone’s gotta keep an eye on the dorky Princess over there.”

“Hey!!” exclaimed Twilight, causing both Starlight and Anon to laugh at that. “Although,” said Twilight as she remembered something, “Didn’t you blow up your chemicals a few times before getting a master’s degree?”

“Says the pony who helped both Sci-Twi and Sunset make a chemical compound to experiment on a mouse, bit you three, which caused all three of you and the rest of the Rainbooms to go all Saddle Rager, which by the way, you could’ve doused the mouse when it was still in its cage and not outside of it. It may have been your counterpart’s idea, but you played your part in it as well.”

Twilight winced at that, wishing it was one experiment she didn’t want to do.

“Not to mention how Sci-Twi ended up testing a shrinking compound on both her and Sunset.” Said Anon, “Which I specifically told her, that she was supposed to test it on living objects like food and junk, and under no circumstances would they use it on humans. Cause for humans, it can have disastrous consequences. Cause she’s lucky that Flash and I got there and he noticed them, cause if they had shrunken any further, they would’ve blinked out of existence.”

“It was really that bad?” said Starlight surprised.

“That’s right.” Said Anon, “Cause those two scenarios was all her fault. Cause I told her twice she should’ve tested them first. But did she listen? Oh, dear no, not the pretentious genius, Twilight Sparkle.”

“Anon,” said Twilight sternly, “What did we talk about venting over unnecessary things?”

Anon sighed and said “I know. But still, she should’ve listened. I mean when I first started out, yeah, I made a mistake, but after my first time, I learned from it.”

“So, what happened on those two scenarios?” Asked a curious Starlight.

“It’s like this…” said Anon as he told his story.

***************************************************************************************************

Twilight told me that she was invited by both Sci-Twi and Sunset to work on an experiment that would be revolutionary. At first they were away for too long cause I thought it would be over. Naturally, I got concerned and went over, but I also asked the girls to keep the portal open for me.

But then I noticed the damage at Canterlot High’s laboratory. I saw all the damage and didn’t know what to think. That was, whilst I was walking by, I heard a loud yelp. When I looked, I saw a mouse that bit the other Rainbow. I went over to see if she was okay, but then I saw that the moment she got angry, she went all Saddle Rager, which shocked me beyond my imagination.

I realized that the mouse might have something to do with it, so I went to look for it. I later found it eating cheese at the cafeteria. The mouse noticed me and I saw his eyes were red, which was very unusual, given my own history experimenting on a mouse. I suddenly talked to it and for some reason, it understood me, which I still find it weird.

I asked the mouse to come with me, and he did. I went to the library and asked if he could type what happened. To which he did. He told me that Twilight, Sci-Twi, and Sunset experimented with chemicals. But rather than douse the chemicals whilst the mouse was in the cage, he was doused with it outside. And out of defense and panic, he bit them, which caused them to turn into monsters when they got aroused and angry.

Though I was surprised, I was angry that they did that, but the mouse told me it was Sci-Twi’s idea, which I got even more mad. I asked the mouse why he bit their friends when they didn’t do anything, with the mouse telling me that he wanted the three of them to pay, so he bit them so that they could suffer the consequences. I told the mouse that there were other ways to get back at some, but doing it through others wasn’t the answer, so I offered to help it. But I remembered the state of the lab and realized that the notes were all ruined.

However, the mouse said he saw Sunset saving up the notes on her laptop that she held nearby. I went back to the lab and looked through the ruined lab. The mouse pointed and by great miracle, the laptop was still in good condition. When I opened it, I thought it was password protected. But somehow, she didn’t do it. Guess she still didn’t learn after the whole Anon-a-miss fiasco. Anyway, I looked through the research and saw all the chemical compounds that they used. I asked the mouse if I could take a blood sample, which allowed me. After much work, I then realized that I needed blood from one of the girls. Suddenly, Fluttershy came in and I noticed her clothes were torn, which left her embarrassed, then I realized she was bitten too.

I explained to her and naturally she agreed to help. I took her blood and thanks to what I discovered; I was able to make an antidote. I cured both the mouse and Fluttershy, but I realized the others were going to make things difficult, so Fluttershy offered me a tranquilizer gun that she kept in handy for just in case. I was able to add the antidote, and after much hunting, we turned the girls back to normal.

However, I gathered everyone, even Sci-Twi’s parents and told them and the Principle over what happened. Needless to say, they weren’t happy, especially Rarity after she and Sci-Twi trashed her work place. So, I said that Princess Twilight would cover the costs by using the treasury back from our dimension. At first, she didn’t want to do it, but I told her that she was partially the cause of this, now she has to pay for it, which she reluctantly agreed.

****************************************************************************************************

“Whoa.” Muttered Starlight as she couldn’t believe it.

“Believe me,” said Anon, “When I told Princess Celestia about it, she wasn’t very happy about it either.”

“I had to spend the next month organizing Canterlot’s paperwork.” Groaned Twilight. “Though I love organizing, going through all that mountain of paperwork was a nightmare.”

“Well maybe now you’ll think twice about thinking before doing.” Said Anon. But then he groaned and said, “Though that’s nothing compared to the shrinking thing.”

“How did that happen?” asked Starlight.

“It’s like this.” Said Anon.

**********************************************************************************************************

I decided to pop over to Canterlot High to see how Sunset was doing since Twilight was busy. Then I bumped into Flash and the two of us were on our way to Sunset, for that’s where they were. But when we got there, they weren’t there. However, I did somehow found their shoes there for some reason.

I spotted two vials on the ground, which made me concerned over what happened. But then Flash spotted something on the ground, and saw a Spider chasing something. But when we took a closer look, we saw it was Sunset and Twilight the size of ants. But then I realized that the two of them shrunk using the chemicals, which I recognized. Boy was a I mad. I crushed the spider and picked the two of them up.

At first I wanted to ask Sci-Twi what she did, but then I heard as best I could from Sunset that the two of them testing a shrinking chemical, but something went wrong and the two of them kept on shrinking. Acting fast, I opened the vials and dropped them in. After they were back to normal without, ahem, clothing, they told me what happened.

Needless to say, I literally tossed the table and was pissed off. Because I found out the shrinking formula came from my notes that she somehow took my notes about shrinking, which I told her she shouldn’t have used it because the formula was still incomplete. Because when they tested it out, it turned out the chemicals became unstable, hence why they kept on shrinking. Reason for that, it’s why I put it on halt. For I didn’t put a limiter on the shrinking effect, hence why I added the normal growth one, nor did I figure out to stable it to stay in that size.

**********************************************************************************************************

“Not only that,” said Anon, “She deliberately tested them without asking anyone to keep an eye on them, and dragged Sunset into this. And I was never, I repeat, never, going to test them on humans because I was focused on inanimate objects like a plant or piano.”

“Why not on humans?” said Starlight in confusion.

“Cause it turns out, every organic being’s body also has chemicals inside of us, and if you combine them, it becomes completely unstable and could potentially die.” Said Anon, which shocked and startled Starlight. “That’s the reason I’m angry with her. I told her on both accounts, to test them on inanimate objects and ran the simulations first. Instead, she ignored my notes, botched up my research by trying to improve them, and went behind my back and used them because of the one thing, the one thing, I told her not to do.”

“And she said sorry multiple times!!” said Twilight trying to defend her counterpart. “She didn’t know it was going to happen!! She just wanted to study them!!”

“Yeah, so did she with Equestrian Magic, and look how well that turned out!!” said Anon.

Both girls gasped at that, with Anon also realizing what he just said, which makes him groan and collapse back onto his chair.

“Maybe I just need a break away from this madness.” Said Anon, “At least for a little bit.”

“Hmmm,” pondered Twilight, “True, you have been working hard lately, especially for the students and the chemicals for the Equestrian Science Community lately.”

“And you have been taking extra hours to grade papers and prepare for future classes.” Said Starlight. “Although…”

“What?” said Anon.

“We…didn’t consider of charging the teachers whilst they teach.” Said Starlight sheepishly.

“But we don’t charge anything, because we’re all friends, here.” Said Twilight.

“Not according to the Equestrian Government.” Said Anon as he pulled out a book. “And before you say anything, look at this. According to the Equestrian Worker’s Rights act, subsection Q, Paragraph 4, all workers, working at different facilities must be required to be paid from within the work hours of said working business, whether at corporate businesses, restaurants, and in schools.”

Twilight was shocked by this, and instantly took the book and looked through it. Then she lifted her head slightly, and groaned before slamming her head against it. Starlight looked at the law and was surprised by it. She looked at Anon surprised.

“What?!” said Anon, “Just because I’m a human and sometimes like to slack off, doesn’t’ mean I didn’t study every inch of the law on that book!!”

“I hate you.” Muttered Twilight.

“And I love you too, Sparkle and Star butt.” Retorted Anon playfully, until a pair of pillows were thrown against his head, which he couldn’t help but chuckle at that. He sat up and asked, “But the question is, where am I going to go on vacation? Most in Equestria don’t exactly have rooms made for humans and I doubt most of them have already gotten used to me. And going to other kingdoms are out of the question, not after what happened last time.”

“It was really that bad?” asked Starlight.

“It was,” said Anon, “Especially the, ahem, Pudding incident.”

Twilight, Anon, even Starlight shuddered and shivered at that, not wanting to remember that ordeal. As Twilight thought about where to send Anon for his vacation, she heard the sound of a door knocking.

“Come in.” said Twilight.

The door opened, revealing to be a Unicorn that happens to be friends with Twilight, which the three of them recognized.

“Sunset!!” said Twilight as she walked over.

“Hey, Twilight.” Said Sunset as she hugged her friend. “What’s going on here?”

“Oh, our school just started summer break, hours ago.” Said Twilight.

“Wow, what a coincidence,” said Sunset, “Same with Canterlot High.”

Anon couldn’t help but smile and went over to Sunset, gaining the Unicorns’ attention. He stood on one knee and said, “Good to see you, Sunset.”

Sunset hugged Anon and said, “Good to see you, too.”

“So, what can we do for you, Sunset?” asked Starlight after Anon and Sunset broke their hug.

“Well, shortly before summer vacation started,” said Sunset, “My friends and I entered a competition. And we won a full two-week trip on the cruise.”

“Wow, lucky you.” Said Anon, but then he got curious, “But wait, didn’t Applejack get seasick the last time you lot went for a cruise?”

“She did,” said Sunset, “But don’t worry, this time we’ll make sure she remembers to pack in her medicine for seasick travels.”

“If Rainbow doesn’t ruin it again, that is.” Said Anon.

“Don’t worry, we’ll make extra sure that doesn’t happen.” Said Sunset, “But just to be safe, I asked the girls if we could leave the geodes in a vault in my room, just to be on the safe side.”

“Oh, good.” Said Twilight. “But I assume that there’s another reason that you’re here.”

“I was wondering if you’d go with us.” Said Sunset, “The girls never had a chance to spend more time with you.”

“Oooh, I can’t.” said Twilight, “Princess Celestia wants me, Princess Luna and Princess Cadence to accompany her to the royal summits at Mount Metazoa.”

“Wait, already?” said Anon confusingly, “But didn’t you already do that after the Storm King was defeated?”

“We were, but since it’s been a full year, Princess Celestia wants us to come together to talk about the future of other kingdoms.” Said Twilight, “And unfortunately, I also have to attend, considering how important it is.”

“And I can’t go either,” said Starlight, “I have to go help Sunburst at the Crystal Empire to find medicine for the Crystal Ponies, as well as help Shining Armor casting a shield spell over the Crystal Empire just in case they face anymore threats.”

“Aw.” Said Sunset as she was disappointed. “That’s too bad really.”

But then it clicked to Twilight, then she looked at Anon and had an idea.

“Why don’t you take, Anon?” asked Twilight.

“Really?” said both Sunset and Anon surprised.

“Excuse us for a bit, Anon.” said Twilight as she took Sunset and teleported somewhere private. When they were on the roof of the Castle of Friendship, Twilight spoke to Sunset. “Anon’s been working hard lately and I suggest he’d go on vacation, but he doesn’t want to go to other places in Equestria, or the other kingdoms.”

“Right, because they aren’t used to his species.” Said Sunset.

“And I was wondering if you’d take him.” Said Twilight, but then she got concerned, “Although…”

“He still hasn’t forgiven my Twilight?” asked Sunset, causing Twilight to nod. “But Twilight constantly apologized for that.”

“He’s still mad at her,” said Twilight as she was still worried, “He said that not only did my counterpart ignore his notes and tampered with what he had already planned that put you and the others in danger, but she also lied to him and took advantage of his trust.”

“But Twilight…” said Sunset before being cut off.

“I know,” said Twilight, “But you also have to remember, Anon has a master’s degree in chemicals, so he knows what he’s doing and what to do. But when the other me received his notes, she completely ignored them and changed it and ended up performing trials instead of following the instructions.”

Twilight blushed and said, “And to be fair, it was really stupid of us to test the chemical on the mouse outside of the cage instead of in it.”

Sunset also blushed at this and said, “Yeah, especially the shrinking incident. I still can’t believe we didn’t ask anyone to help us out.”

“And I don’t know what else to do, cause unless my other self, promises to never do that again, he’ll never trust her with any chemicals.” Said Twilight.

“I remember,” said Sunset, “The school even banned her from ever using them without adult supervision.”

“So, I was thinking,” said Twilight, “Is it possible for him to go on this cruise? That way you girls can find a way to help Anon to forgive and trust my counterpart.”

“I guess we can try.” Said Sunset, “And truth be told I wanted us to hang out again. I mean, how often do you talk to a human that came from a different human world. Even the girls enjoyed his company.”

“About that, I know it’s been a long time, but I forgot to ask.” said Twilight in concern, “When Anon offered to stay behind since the Fall Formal. What did he do there?”

“Oh, he became our chemistry teacher,” said Sunset, “He really knows his stuff, even though the mirror portal made him a senior at Canterlot High and it was almost hard for anyone to take him seriously. Plus, he even saved the Schoolboard’s life after a fire happened there. As thanks, they were able to give him a house there, which happens to be across the street. And after you were able to find a way to open between Equestria and Canterlot High, he would teach us in his classroom. Plus, you wouldn’t believe it, even Rainbow passed it.”

“Even Rainbow?” said Twilight surprised.

“Especially Rainbow.” Said Sunset. Then she looked a bit down and said, “Although…because of the…incidents. And you know the rest.”

“Right,” said Twilight. “But back to the point on hand, I know it’s been a while ever since Anon taught all of you before we opened our school, but I was hoping he would…”

“Say no more, Twilight.” Said Sunset. “We’ll give him the best time over there. But…”

“I won’t tell him that my counterpart will be there,” said Twilight, “And I’m sure the girls would help out when they can.”

“Right,” said Sunset, “But Anon will have to come to Canterlot High tomorrow, that’s when the cruise will start.”

“Alright then, I’ll tell him.” Said Twilight, “And let’s both hope for the best on this.”

“Me too, Twilight. Me too.” Said Sunset as she left and made her way back to the Castle in order to access the Portal.

Twilight on the other hand walked back to Anon, who decided to clean up a bit whilst he waited for Twilight and Sunset. But then he noticed that Sunset wasn’t with her.

“Oh, I noticed Sunset’s not with you.” Said Anon.

“She said she went back to Canterlot High,” said Twilight, “And she wants you to go on a cruise with them. The girls there said they hadn’t spent time with you for a long time, especially their old science teacher.”

“Heh, figured as much.” Said Anon, “So when do they want me to go?”

“Tomorrow, that’s when the cruise happens.” Said Twilight. “So, you’d better pack up.”

“Sure thing,” said Anon, “As well as my chest.”

“You wanna bring that?!” said Twilight surprised, knowing full well what it is.

“Well, I gotta use it sometime.” Said Anon, “And I heard Sunset said that’s its worth thrice as much money over there. Besides, you know fully well how expensive those cruise vacations are.”

“Hmm, good point.” Said Twilight whilst she thought about it, but then also thought, ‘I wonder how my counterpart was able to afford it when they went on Spring Break?’

“Didn’t you also thought about having a chest like that for just in case? Or in a backpack?” asked Anon.

“Well, to be honest, when I first went there, I didn’t know what to expect,” said Twilight, “But now that I do know, and if I want to take a break, I’ll make sure that I have it on standby for just in case.”

“Alright then, talking currency aside.” Said Anon, “I’ll start packing. And if I don’t see the girls, tell them I’ll see them in about say…two weeks.”

“Alright then, Anon, but I’ll try to tell them just in case.” Said Twilight.

Anon nodded with Twilight moving out of the classroom. However, Anon looked at the pills that were in the bowl. He then realized something.

“You know, maybe I should pack them with me, just in case.” Said Anon as he walked over and placed all the pills in wrapping packets that he saved up for just in case. After he was done, there were eight carefully wrapped packets, that one would almost mistake for mentos. “And it would be a good time to test them.”

He placed them in his backpack and made his way towards the door before closing it behind them.

*****************************************************************************************************

The next early morning, from within the Castle of Friendship, The Mane 6, Spike and Starlight began to greet Anon whilst he stood near the portal with a chest and a suitcase for travel. He hugged the ponies and dragon goodbye before standing up.

“Y’all enjoy yer trip now, Anon.” said Applejack.

“We’ll even try to hold a special party for you before you get back.” Said Pinkie Pie. “And don’t worry, it’ll be a small party.”

“As long as the party is with you girls, I don’t mind one bit.” Said Anon, “And can you make sure that most of my documents for the next semester is also ready?”

“Of course, darling,” said Rarity, “We wouldn’t dream of leaving you out.”

“And say hi to our counterparts over there.” Said Fluttershy.

“And try not to have too much fun there.” Said Rainbow Dash with a wink.

“Rainbow!!” scolded the girls, which caused Rainbow to laugh whilst Anon rolled his eyes.

“That was so funny, I forgot to laugh.” Said Anon in sarcasm.

Twilight heard her journal buzzing and opened it, revealing to be Sunset writing.

“Sunset said she and the girls are waiting for you near CHS.” Said Twilight, “They’re planning to take their tour bus there and hopefully they’ll be able to arrive on time.”

“Alright then, wish me luck.” Said Anon as he then stood on one knee and opened his arms, confusing them. “What, no goodbye hugs?”

“There’s always time for hugs!!” said Pinkie Pie as she was the first to hug Anon, with the rest following suit.

After they broke the hug, Anon stood up and grabbed his bag and chest, whilst Twilight activated the portal to CHS.

“Alright then, see you girls in two weeks!!” said Anon as he stepped through it.

Once that was done, Twilight was able to close it, allowing the portal to deactivate.

“You think Anon will be okay whilst on vacation over there?” asked Rarity, “I mean it has been a while.”

“He’ll most likely turn into a teenager over there, a year older than the girls.” Said Twilight, “He’ll be fine.”

“Still, I hope Anon can forgive your counterpart.” Said Starlight in worry.

“Forgive? Why…” said Applejack, until it clicked, “Wait, don’t tell me he’s still mad at her?”

“But didn’t she already apologize for that?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“She did,” said Twilight, “But he won’t accept it unless she’s absolutely sure she won't go behind his back and mess them up again.”

“Well, from what you said, she did ignore his notes, and he does have a master’s degree in Chemistry.” Said Pinkie Pie.

“Although I get what he’s going through.” Said Rainbow, “I mean, I’d be mad too if somepony had bucked up the Wonderbolt’s routines after Spitfire laid them out, or like Applejack when somepony messes up the harvests, or like Rarity if somepony were to botch up her dresses, or ponies with Fluttershy’s animal sanctuary.”

“Surprisingly Rainbow does have a point,” said Rarity, “But he doesn’t teach there anymore, and the school has not lifted the ban yet.”

“I just hope for the best.” Said Twilight, “Until then, all we can do is be patient.”

“In the meantime, why don’t we go to Sugarcube Corner, my treat.” Said Pinkie Pie.

Everyone agreed and soon left for their hangout.
