Canterlot University. 10:00 A.M.
The two humans stood naked in a laboratory. Like any typical lab, everything was cold and steril; the smell of disenfectant permeated the room. What set this lab apart though, was that is was full with all kinds of doctors.

There were biologists, primatologists, general practitioners, even some physicists. All there for the humans.

And it wasn't a very pleasant experience.

They took skin samples, blood samples, urine samples. They had been poked and prodded. One of the doctors even wanted to subject all three humans, Alejandro included, to test their threshold for pain.

She was removed by Celestia's order.

Then things got interesting.

Zoo File was a talented Zoologist, his primary subject of study were the Primates. After explaining Human evolution breifly, and their origins from the Apes, Zoo File was eager to get some data from the humans. He attempted an MRI, or Magical Resonance Imaging, to magically extract data of the human's skeletal structure.

"I am going to magically scan you. There will be no pain or discomfort, but you may experience some tingling or warmth spreading throughout your bodies. Using magic, I will scan your skeletons and every detail, including full sketches, will be magically transferred to my notebook. After you, I will do the same with Raquel and Alejandro." Zoo File said.

Julian nodded his head.

"That sounds awesome. Let's get started."

It started out simple enough. The blue Unicorn's horned sparked and crackled to life with a sapphire aura. Finally, he directed his horn towards Julain, who was standing still, and a beam of sapphire colored energy was launched towards him.

Julian's body absorbed the energy, and continued to siphon the magic from the Unicorn.

"W-what's happening!" Zoo File cried. "I can't...my magic!" He screamed. More and more magic poured from his horn, the magical connection thickening.

Naturally, everyone panicked.

"What's going on!"

"What's wrong with your magic!"

"Somepony do something!"

Somepony did do something. Twilight lept between the the human and unicorn, and disrupted the connection with her own magical aura. Julian, as well as Raquel looked on, confused and terrified. In the excitement, Alejandro started crying. Everyone else in the room started murmuring and whispering to eachother, eyeing the humans suspiciously.

"SILENCE!"

Celestia's voice pierced the sound of everyone else in the room. Effectively silencing the room, she slowly approached Twilight and Zoo File. He was panting and sweating, his eyes were bloodshot and he couldn't make it to his hooves.

"Zoo File? Can you tell me what happened?" She asked softly. The worn out Unicorn slowly nodded his head, his panting never ceased.

"Spell...wasn't working. I added...more magic...but nothing. Felt like...a drain. Eventually...took over...losing my magic." He panted out slowly. Twilight nodded, confirming the unicorn's claim.

"He's suffering from magical exhaustion." She said. Her statement seemed to incite the others in the room, who glared at the humans intently.

Celestia slowly appraoched the humans, and turned to Julian. She rarely ever had to look up at someone, but she lifted her head to look him in the eye.

"Julian, were you deliberately draining Zoo File of his magic?" This incited the others in the room once more.

"What!?"

"Of course they won't admit it!"

"Lock them up for attempted murder!"

"SILENCE!" Celestia yelled once again. "I want to hear it from him."

She turned back to Julian, waiting for his response.

Julian stared back in her eyes, hoping to convince her of his sincerity.

"No Princess. I did nothing to knowingly harm Zoo File." He said calmly and sincerely. Everyone else scoffed, or continued to glare in their direction.

Celestia studied him, searching for any kind of deceit, but found none.

"He's telling the truth." She concluded, much to the ire of everyone else. "Can you tell me what you experienced then?" She questioned.

"Nothing, really." He answered honestly. "I felt the tingling like he said, but I didn't feel anything that would lead me to believe that Zoo FIle was in distress, let alone pain."

Celestia turned around. Everypony in the room was watching her, except for Zoo File and Twilight, who was busy trying to inject some of her own magic into the weak Stallion.

"Sister?" Called out Luna. "I propose an experiment." She said simply.

Celestia nodded, wondering where her sister was going with this. Regardless of her reservations, she trusted Luna. This time Luna approached the humans. Her horn lit up with deep blue energy that danced and spareked around her horn. Gently, she pressed her magically-charged horn to Julian's abdomen. Instantaneously, the blue magic vanished.

Luna only nodded at this, as if confirming some suspicion that she had. SHe repeated her experiment, only this time on Raquel, with identical results. When she attempted to repeat it on Alejandro, Raquel resisted.

"Please, Raquel. No harm will come to your baby. I simply need to touch him with my horn to complete the experiment. The amount of magic I am using isn't enough to harm an insect, much less a creature as large as a human infant." She compelled.

"I'm not comfortable letting you prod my baby with magic to satisfy some curiosity you might have." She defended.

"I Understand that you wish to protect your child. That is every mother's sole goal in life, but I beg of you to trust me." Luna pleaded.

Raquel looked torn. On one hand, she truly disliked the idea of her baby being used in experiments, magical or otherwise. But on the other hand, she DID trust Luna not to do anything harmful to her child. She was brought out of her reverie when Julian placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Querida, if you're not comfortable with this, you don't have to do it." He reassured. "But I think you should let Luna run whatever tests are necessary." She opened her mouth to respond, but Julian cut her off. "Whatever is going on with us, is most likely happening to Alejandro. I would like to know."

That stumped her. Julian was right. If this anomoly was going on with them, it was highly likely that it was happening to their child as well.

Reluctantly, she held Alejandro out in front of her. Luna gave her a thankful look and proceeded cautiously. Gently, she pressed her glowing horn into Alejandro's chubby arm.

Nothing.

Luna's horn remained aglow. She tried again.

Nothing.

Obviously, whatever Luna was thinking failed with Alejandro.

"Sister?" Asked Celestia. "What were you searching for?" She asked. Luna looked to Celestia. Then to the Elements of Harmony, then directed her attention to everypony else in the room.

"Julian and Raquel's bodies are actively absorbing magic." Luna stated simply. "Their bodies lack their own magic and they seem to be compensating by constantly absorbing the magic from the atmosphere." There were murmurs moving through the group as the scientists tried to understand Luna's claim. "When Zoo File's magic was deliberately fed to the human, it, for lack of a better term, latched on and began to actively drain from the source, in this case: Zoo File."

"Princess Luna, could you tell for what purpose their bodies are absorbing the magic?" Questioned a glasses-wearing Earth Pony mare. "They can't be storing the magic, it neds to be released. It's obvious that the magic is being used, but how?"

"That I cannot tell you." Luna said. "But, after absorbing the magic, it spreads throughout their whole bodies."

"Princess Luna," Twilight said. "You specifically mentioned Julian and Raquel, but not Alejandro. Why?" She questioned.

"Because the infant is not absorbing magic." She said. "Perhaps he is to underdeveloped..." She thought out loud.

"Or maybe he doesn't have to." Said Julian. Everyone's attention was placed directly on him. "Maybe, the magic accomplished in Alejandro what it can't in us." He gestured between himself and Raquel.

"And that would be..." Questioned Twilight.

"Evolution." He said. That got a rise of everyone in the room. Questions were being shouted, ponies scribbling things down into notebooks. It took Luna's Royal Canterlot Voice to silence everyone down once again.

"Please, explain your theory Julian." Requested Twilight.

"I think our bodies are using magic to enhance our natural abilities." He began. "Humans are relatively weak if you compare us to our closest relatives, the apes. We don't have much durability or agility either. But when Raquel and I came here, that changed over time." He said. "You said you saw us on the island, right?" He questioned the Elements. At Twilights confirmation he continued. "Did you see how we moved? How fast we ran? How high we jumped? Humans can't do any of that. We knew that something changed we just didn't know what.

"If you're saying that our bodies are actively absorbing and using magic, then it makes sense that it's making us stronger, faster. It's bolstering our immune systems, and enhancing our healing ability." He ran his hand over the top of his head, pulling loose locks of hair backwards.

"Even if what you're saying is true, that doesn't explain why the infant is not absorbing energy." Called out one of the pony scientists.

"Actually, it does." Raquel said. "Simply put, he doesn't need to. Julian and I are not natives. We have never been exposed to magic before. As such, we need a constant flow of magic to maintain whatever mutation we currently have. Alejandro...Alejandro was conceived in this world. Julian and I were constantly exposed to magic, and as such our reproductive material was charged with magic too. Not only that, but Alejandro grew for nine months in my womb, while my body was locked in a mutated state by magic.

"Like I said, Alejandro doesn't need to absorb magic to maintain his state because he is ALREADY been mutated." Raquel brought Alejandro up and held him tightly. Julian brought his large hand down and gently smoothed the babies hair.

"Does this mean that your son is the first of a new species?" Questioned another.

Julian seemed to think about it.

"I'm not totally sure." He answered. "Technically, his abilities are beyond human. But they are only enhancements of what was already there. I think it's too soon to qualify him as a separate species. So no. He's a Homo Sapiens Sapiens."

"Do you believe your bodies will eventually stop consuming magic and complete their metamorphosis?"

"Doubtful." Said Julian. "They've been doing the same thing for years, I believe that whatever biological processes that need to take place would have occurred by now. But I could be wrong."

The how's and why's ceased to interest the ponies, and have since moved on to the recording the human's physical capabilities. They recorded every ounce of dat retrievable: strength, speed, stamina, endurance. They were running, jumping, swimming, climbing, and everything was noted.

As it turns out, they had a limit.

They knew they were stronger, but they never knew by how much.

They were able to lift approximately 5 tons. Their speed peaked at about 200 miles per hour. And their ability to maintain such speeds, or to carry a load went into hours.

Their bones were stronger, and their muscles were completely recreated. It was Twilight who could finally tell them how the magic had changed them. By biopsying their muscles, they knew exactly how the magic had mutated their bodies.

"This is amazing!" Exclaimed Twilight. She had taken muscle samples from each human, including Alejandro, and examined them under a microscope. "Your muscles are shaped like normal muscles, but when we get down to the actual muscle fiber, they are totally different."

"Different how?" Questioned Raquel.

"Instead of your muscles being comprised of straight muscle fibers, they are coiled!" She explained, unable to contain her energy. "Your muscles are like thousands of springs put together, just storing high amounts of potential energy. Not only that, but your muscles are also highly saturated in myosin, which stregthens them. All of this, combined with your highly dense skeletons, results in tremendous strength when you utilize your stored energy."

"And Raquel and I need constant access to magic to maintain these changes?" Julian Questioned. "Can our bodies simply...change back if we are cut off from magic? Or could we die from the shock?"

"That is something that we are not going to find out." Stated Celestia. She continued before anyone could protest. "This information is irrelevant. We already know for a fact that any children you produce witll be born with a magical body. Whether or not isolation from magic will indeed change you two back to normal is not knowledge worth risking your lives over."

Julian nodded in agreement. Celestia was right. Every child produced by them wouldn't share their need to to absorb magic, so it did not affect anyone else. Besides, he wouldn't risk his child being orphaned over some petty info.

All in all, the examinations weren't tht bad. They were pretty standard, even by pony standards. According to Celestia, all of the recorded information was going to be stored and published into encyclopedias and almanacs. Of course, they would be placed among the Great Apes, like on their home planet.

"So, is there any magical explanation on how Julian and I ended up in some new world?"

"Many, actually." Said a grey unicorn stallion. His hair was stark white, and he had yellow eyes. "Magic likes to manifest itself in different ways. Random portals have been documented coming into existence where high concentrations of magic tend to settle." He said. Everyone seemed to agree with the Unicorn's "Portal" Theory. Julian, however, shook his head.

"I like that you're thinking with portals, but you have to eliminate magic from the equation." He stated. "Remember, magic doesn't exist in our Universe."

"Wait!" Cried Rainbow Dash. "I thought you guys came from another planet. Not from another dimension!"

"We didn't come from another dimension, we came from a different Universe." JUlian said.

"What are you TALKING about!?" Cried Rainbow. Julian sighed. Looking around, he stepped up to the whiteboard behind them, and grabbed a black marker. He poked the whiteboard with the marker, leaving a single black dot.

"This point," He gestured to the board, making sure he had everyones attention. "Doesn't have any dimensions. They exist only to define relationships." He created another dot a few inches from the original. "The First dimension is defined by length." He connected the two dots, creating a line. "A single line can only exist in the first dimension, because it only has the one dimension. But when you add width plus length," He created three more lines, all connected with the first, turning it into a square. "You enter the second dimension. The second dimension is always flat because it lacks depth. When you add depth," He drew a second square that intersected with the original, then connected all the corners, turning it into a cube.

"You enter the third dimension." Finished Twilight in understanding. Julian nodded happily.

"We are currently in the third dimension because we all perceive length, width and height."

"What about the FOurth dimension?" Asked a curious pony.

"Well, some scientists believe the fourth dimension is where time resides." He said. "You see, we can only experience cross sections of time. This instant," He snapped his fingers. "Just came and went. I can never get that moment in time back. The fourth dimension is where time exists all at once. The past, present and future don't exist, there is only time. I even remember a theory that said time travel, should it ever be brought to fruition, would be utilizing the Fourth dimension as its medium. Like a boat uses water, or an airship flies through the air. Time Machines will use the Fourth dimension." He said. "Of course, this is all just conjecture." He finished.

"Well, we've established that you aren't from another dimension, what makes you think you're in another universe altogether?" Asked Rarity.

"Because magic doesn't exist in our universe." Raquel reiterated. "We know for a fact that this is true. Humans would have found magic if it existed. Our universe is bound by unbreakable laws of Physics. Magic has no place in our universe. Whatever brought us here originated in our universe, therefore a scientific explanation must be applied---not a magical one." Her words brought a pensive look upon everyone's face.

"I always believed it was some sort of black hole that brought us here." Said Julian.

"Black Hole?" Questioned Twilight. "What's that?"

"Well, It's a celestial body." Said Julian. "We know they exist because we can see their effects on the universe around them, but we can't actually detect them." He tried to explain. "When a star dies, it usually does it in one of two ways: explosion or implosion. When a star explodes it is known as a Supernova, they are one of the most cataclysmic events in the universe. They oftentimes consume their entire system when the expand. When stars implode, they will either shrink into a nuetron star until they fizzle out of existence, or they become a Black Hole."

He paused for a moment to collect his thoughts.

"A Black Hole is when a star is compressed into a single point in space. All of the mass of a star being forced into such a small space creates high density, which in turn effects gravity. A Black Hole's gravity is so immense, that even light cannot escape it. Hence, Black Hole."

"But that doesn't make any sense!" Cried a random pony. "If such an anomaly truly brought you here, wouldn't it have torn you apart with it's tremendous gravitational pull? And even if you happen to survive, what about it's effect on your planet? Is there even one there anymore!?"

"All very valid questions." Responded Julian. "And you may be right. What I meant to say, however, was the even that brought us here was a singularity, not necessarily an entire Black Hole."

"What do you mean by singularity?"

"That's a bit of a loaded question." Julian answered. "No one can ever really understand time. We know that it is fluid: not as linear as it appears to be." Julian smirked. "People assume that time is a strict proggression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more of a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey...stuff." Raquel couldn't keep the grin off her face as she tried to keep herself from laughing. Julian was faring no better, especially when he saw how the ponies were eagerly writing his words down.

"We know that time and space are one in the same. Albert Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity proved this.Theoretically, a Black Hole doesn't need to be a devastating force. Instead, they could be used to warp space-time to create the Einstein-Rosen Bridge. A wormhole, as theyy are more commonly known."

"How does this work, exactly?"

"Well, the easiest way to explain it would be: think of space-time as a fabric." He stepped over to a table and grabbed his neatly folded shirt and unfolded it. He handed one end to Raquel while he held the other end. "Now, it's been proven that time-space aren't fixed, as everyone believes it to be. When there are gravitational anomolies in space, they warp space-time." Julian grabbed one of the markers and placed it on the shirt. It's weight created a sinking effect on the shirt. "Stars, planets, whatever generates a gravitational field warps space and time. The more gravitational pull they have, the more they warp it. Black Holes create such a gravitational pull, that it bends space-time to the breaking point." To demonstrate his point, Julian lifted his leg and placed his foot into the shirt. He forced his foot through slowly, never lowering the shirt, and placing more stress on the fabric. Eventually, the shirt tore, and his foot went through.

Everyone in the room stood, speechless, looking at the pathetic article of clothing.

"Of course, this is all theoretical." Added Raquel. "And even if we passed through a tear in space-time and were tossed out of our universe, how did we end up in this one? Why are Julian and I not dead? Or floating through an endless void, between universes and dimensions?"

No one could answer. Even if they ever found out how they left, they would likely never know what brought them to their Universe.

Alejandro broke the uncomfortable tension with his wimpers. Raquel lifted him and held him close. She lowered him to her breast and allowed him to suckle, calming the infant.

No, it wasn't worth knowing, anyway. This was their home know.

Author's Note

Sorry this was late. I spent the weekend in Arizona, celebrating an Aunt's wedding.

It's hot as fuck over there!
