I was in shock. I was stuck in a world full of talking ponies. I mean, at least I hadn't been thrown into a world of cannibals, because to be honest, that would have sucked. Celestia just stared at me.

"So uh, what was supposed to happen?" she asked.

"Well, I'm not sure, this was my first time testing it. It should have opened a portal back to Earth." I replied.

"Well I may be able to help you get back, but I will need time to work on exactly how this inter-dimensional travel works."

"I understand." I said, knowing that it may be my only hope of getting home.

"Until then I will have you stay with Twilight, she is my personal student, and I'm sure she will be able to take care of you." she explained.

"About her, I noticed a lot of the windows in this castle have her in it, whats that about?" I asked.

"Ah, yes, I should probably explain that Twilight and her five friends are the bearers of the elements of harmony."

"Wait, what are the elements of harmony?" I asked.

"Well it's a long story. But I'm sure you'd like to hear it."

"Over fifteen hundred years ago, My sister and I rose to the throne after our parents had died. We were both in no shape to rule at the time and we didn't have the power to either. We still required the Unicorns to Raise and Lower the Sun and Moon. At the time, my sister and I were still living in our old home, deep in the Everfree forest, and we had gotten bored, so we decided to check out the caves underneath the castle. We had always been told by our parents we couldn't go down there, due to the fact that father had been working on something down there and he never wanted to be bothered.

When we got down there we opened the door to his study, and there sitting on his desk were five gems, each a color of the rainbow. We were curious and we started fooling with them. At that moment, the gems started glowing and three went into Luna, and two entered myself. We were just normal unicorns when it happened, and we didn't expect anything extraordinary.

Until we looked at each other.

Both Luna and I had grown considerably and we both now had wings. We remembered the tales father had told us, about the Alicorns. They had been supreme beings who had created the three races, based off of their own looks. When the gems made contact with us we were caught off guard and I happened to look over at father's desk, were there sat a scroll that had been sealed. Being the older sister and the most curious, I opened it.

It had a description and a picture of the five gems and each was named. At the top of the scroll were the words: Elements of Harmony.
And each name matched a trait that all ponies showed on occasion.

Loyalty, Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, and Generosity. I looked at the description on the scroll and read through it. Apparently when the elements were brought together, and ignited by a spark, they would reveal a sixth element. The element of magic.

A hundred years later, Luna lost control of her elements and was taken by darkness. She became Nightmare Moon, and as painful as it was, I had no choice but to imprison her in the moon. Then A thousand years later, as of two years ago, she returned and My student Twilight, and five others, whom she had befriended, retrieved the elements and defeated Nightmare Moon, freeing my sister from the darkness that had taken her."

"Since then, the Element bearers have saved us on three occasions. Once when discord was freed and the third was when a Queen Chrysalis, ruler of the changelings, Tried to take over. They have shown great bravery in even the most trying of situations, and I would like you to meet all of them." Celestia explained.

I stood there with my jaw hanging open. Jeez, She's ancient! I thought to myself.

"I-I...uh..."

"It's okay, it might be a lot to take in, but I will have the chariot return you to Ponyville, where you can rest and allow it all to sink in. And I would like to personally welcome you to Equestria." She said as she opened the door. I stepped out in a daze, unsure of where exactly I was going, until a Guard came up and escorted me to where the chariot was waiting.

When I returned to Ponyville, the first thing I did was go to sleep. Twilight had managed to set up another bed in a back room of the library. I'm glad it was my size. Before I fell asleep, I remember seeing a part of the wall was boarded up. I'd I have to ask Twilight about it sometime.

I woke up the next morning to a delicious smell. I left the room and found Spike putting three plates on the table. He looked up at me and smiled. I could still see doubt behind it though. I sat down and waited as Twilight came into the room, with a book hovering in front of her face.

"Uh...Good morning." I said.

Her concentrations unwavering as she closed the book and sat at the table.

"Good morning to you too. I hope you slept well, because we have a lot of things to do today."

"Wait, you mean, after I've been thrown into another world, and had to meet a fifteen hundred year old Goddess, Your gonna make me work?" I asked.

"Of course! Even Spike has to work. Which reminds me, Spike I need you to rearrange and organize the books today."

"Awwwww, do I have to? I was going to go see Rarity today." he complained.

"Yes Spike, and if it's not done by the end of the day, No gems for a week."

"What! Twi that's not fair!"

"Life's not fair Spike, now please, stop arguing with me." Twilight replied.

I chuckled a bit at their argument. It reminded me of when I was a kid.

"So what are we doing today?" I asked.

"Well first, I'm going to take you to see my friend Rarity, and we'll see if we can have some clothes made for you. Because I'm sure you didn't bring anything other than what you're wearing. By the way, why are you wearing clothes?" she asked.

"On earth, we wear clothes, because it's considered indecent to walk around nude." I replied.

"Well that's weird."

After a while, Spike came in with a big plate of pancakes, and we all dug in. They were delicious, much better than I would have been able to make. I thanked Spike and finished about three helpings before Twilight told me we had to go. We headed out leaving a disgruntled young dragon and a bunch of dishes behind.
