The three watched in awe as the two "Angels" flew around "Their not human, are they" asked Twilight. "No, their not" Celestia answered. "looks like a mix of human and Pegasus" Luna commented. "yes, but Pegasi don't exist here, Luna" Celestia told her sister. "o.k, so bird then?" Luna said "yes" Celestia said. "The portal!?" twilight exclaimed

*flash* "Oh no, the bird-things are falling! Tia do something!" Twilight was first to react and magic levitated the younger one to the cliff... "Rose?...Rose!?....where are you " said the other one still hovering. "Princess, could you help that one, he's to big for me" twilight said. Rose giggled. "over here" she says responding to the older one.

..............................................................................................................................................................................

The strange feeling continues as I float for a little, still blinded from the flash. "Rose?" I ask "yeah..." she responded. "What happened?" I say confused on what just happened. "You fell on top of a rift" said a gentle voice, startling me. "uhhh..." I say dumbly.

"Whats a rift?" asks Rose. "It's a rip in time and space" says another voice. "i can hear you, but can't see you." I tell them "oh, I can fix that." says yet again another voice. "you will be knocked out for a while, though"said the same voice "why?" I ask "to magically repair your eyesight" said the same voice "haw haw, but really why" I say. "She's telling the truth, and please do be respectful, you are in the presence of two princess' ." said the second voice. "Oh...sorry"I say still confused. Hearing a unfamiliar hum, then the warm feeling, but not the weightlessness, then nothing...

"oh... my head..."looking around, I noticed that I'm on my couch. "what?" i say confused. "Rose?" looking around to find her. "Zzz" coming from my bed "o.k...she's asleep...was that a dream?"saying quietly to my self, careful not to wake her."No...and wow that was much faster then expected" Said the gentle-voiced one 'a tall White horse? no, a pony, it...er...she has a thicker mane and tail... what the...and her tail's...that's impossible, her mane and tail are multicolored' I say in my head "wait, so you talk?" I asked her "Yes we do" Says the purple one"how are you purple? wha...and... O.k...I'm confused" I say, still trying to figure out how this is possible "where's the other one?" looking around for the source of the third voice i heard earlier. "My sister? she's asleep... in your, sister's?, room" She told me, and not directly, asking if Rose was my sister. I just nod. my head is still spinning trying to wrap my head around what's happening. "do all humans have wings?" ask the purple one, as I look back at mine stretching them out a little. "er...No...just us two...or at least to my knowledge..." I say wondering if humans have wings now ...probably not.. ."do you...ponies have names?" I ask, remembering that they never, if any, told me their names. "that should be obvious...My name is Twilight, This is Princess Celestia and the sleeping one is Princess Luna" she said looking tired and annoyed.

"Why are you here and how can you talk?" I ask "Well we came through a rip in space and time, in Equestria, that sent us here, and don't all ponies talk?" twilight said "No...not usually... mostly Neighing or whinnying" looking at them, noticing that it should be obvious that they come from somewhere else. "Yes, like Twilight mentioned, we're from Equestria, in an alternate universe, so we are able to talk." She explained "..." staring at them "eh Hem" Twilight cleared her throat while I looking at their flanks/cutie-marks. "sorry" I say looking embarrassed "but, what are those symbols for?" asking pointing at Twilight's flank/cutie-mark. "They mark what jobs or special talents a pony has" Celestia explained. "For example, Twilight's is Magic, she's currently studying the magic of friendship."she said "Ok...so..."

*Bang*   "uh... sorry" Luna said "ouch..." Rose said quietly "Are you Ok Rose?" asked while I grabbed her and sat her on the bed again. "I guess... I just got kicked by ... A pony? what...? why are they here? and did that one talk..."she asked looking as confused as I was "Yes, I'll explain later." said to her not wanting to explain it yet... Not quite understanding, myself either. "anyways, your Luna..."getting cut off "Princess Luna" she said "Sorry... Princess Luna, Princess Celestia, and Twilight?" I said confirming their names "Yes, those are our names" Twilight said "Just making sure..." I said. "So... Equestria... what's it like? compared to our world so far?" asking trying to change to subject to something else so it's not so awkward. "Different..." looking around for something. "are you guys hungry?" I asked them. "Kind of..."Twilight said "What kind of food do you eat?" I asked wondering what would they eat. "We have berries growing in the back" Rose offering some to Twilight. Twilight Levitated some of the berries and observed them. Once she was satisfied that they where ok she ate them. The Alicorns did the same. "thank you." all three said eating more. "No problem" I said glad I found something for them. "wait... so how are you going to get back to Equestria?" asking them, not really know how they did get here. "We have to find the portal again..." *BOOM* The sound was loud enough to shake the house Celestia and Luna fell to the ground. "Whats happening to them?" Rose asked. looking at twilight i asked " what happened?"
