Teamwork is Overrated

The trio arrived at Twilight’s tree house, the wind was still brushing against them, Spirit was the first to go inside. Unstrapping his laptop bag from his back, he glances around the inside of the tree, it was nicely carved out. It must of taken years to carve out the tree, all the edges were done perfectly, it was as if Twilight built the home, only if she had the carving skills to do so.

“This is a nice house” exclaimed Spirit as he places his laptop bag on a nearby table.

Twilight puts a small smile on her face; Spirit could tell that she was slightly nervous. It was obvious that she was nervous because the bros know everything about Equestria, even though they didn’t know EVERYTHING. But with things considered, who wouldn’t be nervous about two guys who know your whole life story, that would be pretty scary. Twilight could be seen inside looking through her books, probably making sure that there is such spell in one of them.

“So, Twilight, how do you believe the Dimensional traveling spell works?” asked Spirit.

“I said earlier that there may not be such thing as a spell that makes you travel through dimensions” replied Twilight

“Yes, I know, but how would you believe it would work?”

Twilight stops for a second and brings a hoof to her chin, “Maybe it’s just like the teleportation spell, except you use a far much greater powerful form of magic, and the pony that is getting teleported can visualise where he or she wishes to go”

“Well my theory is that you place a gateway onto a surface, and then you pinpoint where you want the gateway to lead to, then once that is over with, you walk through the gateway”

“My theory is that you are a true nerd” exclaimed Shadow as he barges into the conversation.

Spirit gives a bland look at Shadow, “Like you would know something about dimensional travel..”

Shadow shrugs, he never given a shit about dimensional traveling, and theories of how to do so either.

“Well none of my books seem to have anything about taking you home, however, I believe that Princess Celestia may have a lead. Or even better, if she owns a scroll that contains the magic we need” exclaimed Twilight as she wanders upstairs.

Shadow and Spirit exchange glances, “Why the fuck didn’t she do that first?” asked Spirit

Shadow shrugged, “Pony logic”

It was shortly after woods when Twilight came downstairs with an oversized letter, Shadow glances over to her, she was quickly finishing off the letter as she got down.

“So what does it say Twi?” asked Shadow as he trots over to her.

Shadow could tell she wasn’t comfortable with being called Twi, maybe only her friends call her Twi.

“Weeeeell.. Here”

“Dear Princess Celestia

Today I have met two ponies, both male, one is a Pegasus, and the other is a Unicorn. They have informed me that they are from another dimension, and of which their world is populated by a species called ‘Humans’. They wish to go back to their world with my help, knowing my magical abilities, however I don’t have a spell that can do that. I am asking you if by any chance you have a scroll that can help these two go back home. Much would be appreciated by these two!

Your most faithful student: Twilight Sparkles”

Shadow looked at the side of himself only to see his bro, Spirit, reading the letter, he was a slower reader.

“So, where is Spike? Don’t you need him to send the letter?” asked Shadow.

“I left him at sugarcube corner, because I think he was enjoying the party, I trust him to come back here on his own”

“You fucking did What?” yelled out Spirit.

“Don’t worry, I can just teleport the letter to princess Celestia!” exclaimed Twilight as her horn starts to glow.

The scrolled up letter starts glowing in violet, within seconds the letter disappears, leaving nothing behind.

“Okay, so how long do you suppose it would take her to reply?” asked Spirit.

Twilight puts a hoof to her chin, thinking briefly of how long it would take, “I’d estimate about.. half an hour. If she had it, she would try and find it..”

Spirit sighs, he had to stay here LONGER, and he really didn’t want to stay here for a night, he just wanted to go home, live the life he once had.

“Well, since you’re going to leave soon, can you give me some information about ‘Humans’?” asked Twilight, her eyes looked like they were glowing.

Spirit sighs, “Shadow, be useful and explain to her about our lives..”

Shadow sighs and walks up to Twilight, “He’s pissed off, we should go to another room if you want to know about us” he whispered.

Twilight nods and leads Shadow upstairs into her room. Just like the show, her bed was on the platform above, grand windows that had the view of ponyville sat next to Twilight’s bed. On the lower platform her desk sits at the side, there was a half empty ink bottle. The feather that Twilight used when she wrote the letter hovered over to the desk and sat in the ink bottle. Twilight closes the door behind her, so no noise can escape from her room.

“Okay, you want to know about humans, shoot” exclaimed Shadow.

Twilight give Shadow a look, but her facial expression quickly goes back to the dedicated look she had.

“Okay, um, what do you Humans like to eat?”

The question startled Shadow, he had to tell her that they are Omnivores, but in the best context so Twilight won’t vomit.

“Okay, Humans are, well, Omnivores, so our diet is Meat and Plant. We can live without meat, but without meat, we won’t get as much goodness in our bodies. But aside from the diet, we eat some of the things you eat, we have Ice Cream, Chocolate, Cake, apples, oranges, so we eat SOME of the stuff that you eat. Humans don’t eat grass or flowers like you, however, we use sunflower seeds for medicine, I don’t know much about medical knowledge, if you want medical knowledge, ask Spirit.”

Surprisingly Twilight seemed very interested about the diet that humans have, she quickly jotted all the information on a notepad that was on her desk.

“Okay, umm, how about, umm, what does the magic do in your world?”

“Unfortunately Twilight, we don’t have magic, we use technology, like machines and gadgets. An example is a TV, or what other people call it, Tele Vision. A TV is big glass screen that shows animated films, and with sound, so if someone says something, the voice can be played out. It’s complicated, but, that is what a TV is, and we just watch TV for entertainment, even though Spirit doesn’t watch TV. But there is a heap of other stuff, but I can’t really explain them.”

Twilight puts a hoof to her chin to think of a question while she jots down the information.

“Twilight..”

Twilight lifted her head from the note book, already there was 2 pages full of information that she has written.

“How about I tell you some human history?”

That sure got her attention and she puts a huge grin across her face, and quickly nods yes. Shadow sat down as he was about to start telling Twilight the long journey from Dinosaurs, to the present.

Finally Shadow finished his history lesson with Twilight. It took him 2 hours to explain to her everything he knew about mankind. Twilight seemed vaguely interested in medieval times in japan, she found their culture beautiful. Thing that got Shadow is that Celestia still hasn’t replied to the letter, infact every now and then, he and Twilight would hear Spirit swear loudly.

“FUCK” a loud voice erupted from below

“Please excuse me Twilight” whispered Shadow as he got up to go downstairs.

He spotted Twilight’s curious facial expression on the way to the stairs, she didn’t know what he was going to do. As Shadow reaches downstairs, Spirit was staring at him, Spirit knew he came down for a reason. As shadow approaches Spirit, he could see slight amount of anger in his face, he really wanted to go home. Shadow was in talking range of Spirit, Spirit was waiting for Shadow to speak up, finally Shadow spoke up.

“I need to take a dump!” exclaimed the Pegasus as he wanders towards the toilet.

Spirit facehoofs, “Yea, whatever”

“I was just telling, you know, because I though you wanted to know about my pooping problem which I am about to fix”

“Shut up”

“No you”

“No, fuck you!”

“No you”

Spirit lets out a loud groan, he wasn’t in the mood to be playing the ‘Fuck you’ game. Shadow shrugged and entered the toilet, finally being able to empty his shit box. Shortly after he entered the toilet Twilight wandered downstairs, Spirit’s eyes followed Twilight’s figure going down the stairs, he wanted answers.

“Twilight, you said 2 hours ago that Celestia was supposed to give us that scroll, why hasn’t she replied yet?” asked Spirit with concern in his tone.

Twilight lets out a sigh, “Look, I’m sorry, but I don’t know, the princess might be busy with something, I don’t know. But can you do me a favour and stop yelling every so often with foal language!”

Spirit gave Twilight a look, “You don’t understand how badly I want to go home, just because Shadow is calm about it doesn’t mean that I am going to be calm about it. Think about it Twi, imagine one day you get teleported into our world in a human body, you wouldn’t last a single day!”

Twilight looks at Spirit in disappointment, “I am trying my best, I am trying to find every possible way to get you home. And all I simply ask of you is to calm down, but no, you had to change the subject about being in your shoes. LOOK, things are not going to change if you just sit there and swear!”

That pissed Spirit off, “You know what? Fuck you!”

Spirit got up and before he could turn around, he got slapped across the face. Shadow was in the background as he saw the bitch slap.

“Don’t you dare swear at me like that, and then you think you could just walk off. Stop crying over the fact that you have to stay here longer and Get Over Yourself!” yelled Twilight.

There was a long awkward silence, Twilight and Spirit glared at each other’s eyes, soon after Twilight marched upstairs.

“Okay, what the fuck is your problem?” asked Shadow.

Spirit sighed, he was quiet for a few seconds until he finally replied “I need some time to myself”

Spirit wandered off into the kitchen, as he did the front door opened, Spike finally came back home, at the wrong time too.

“Huh? Oh hey, what are you here for?” the small purple dragon asked.

Shadow lets out a deep sigh, he had to explain everything to the small dragon, Twilight is too angry to explain.

“Well, lets start from the beginning..” exclaimed Shadow.
