Spike and Barley in Equestria

Spike, Barley, and Twilight, having fully exchanged pleasantries, were discussing possibilities on how the humans got there.

Twilight's spoke first. "You said you have a respawning power, right?"

"Yeah." Barley said.

"Maybe somepony was able to lock on to the frequency to which you regenerate, and interrupted it so that you would respawn here."

"That's impossible. We don't use magic to respawn. Magic doesn't exist where we're from, we were just sorta born with it."

"Really? How do you lift things?"

Spike brought his hands up and waved them around, pretending they were the most amazing things ever. Barley glared at him.

"Anyway, even if we did use magic, it sounds like it would take a lot of energy to take a physical being into another dimension."

"You're right, only two ponies in all of Equestria are powerful enough to even attempt it."

"Who might those be?" asked Spike.

"Our leaders, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna."

Spike looked at his friend. "Dude, they got lil'o princesses here, man." He turned back to Twilight. "Do they wear lil'o tiara's on their heads? And lil'o boot's?" Before Twilight could answer, Barley began yelling.

"GOD DAMN IT SPIKE, STOP TALKING ABOUT FUCKING BOOTS! YOU'VE GOT YOUR OWN PAIR!"

"Calm down Barley, do you want to let everypony in Ponyville know you're hear?" Scolded Twilight.

Barley calmed down and continued talking. "Anyway, you said Celestia and Luna are the only one's powerful enough to preform a spell to bring us here using our respawning power's, right?"

"Yes, that's correct."

"Then, unless there's someone else, we should go pay them a visit."

Twilight opened her to mouth to protest, but then the door to the library opened, and a cyan pegasus in a wheelchair rolled in.

"Hey Twi- ... what are THOSE THINGS!?"

"DUDE LOOK, IT'S A PONY CHARLES, MAN!"

Barley turned his head to look, fearing a pony in a wheelchair with a twitching head was there, but only found the blue pegasus, staring in bewilderment.

"Whew. Don't scare me like that Spike, I was getting ready to shoot."

"It's not like it would have hurt 'em."

"You don't know that Spike, you got lucky with your knife stunt."

Spike took out his knife. "Than unless she's a spy sent by David Leatherhoff, she'll be fine, man." He began stabbing the pegasus.

"AHH, WHAT THE HAY IS HE DOING!?"

"Spike, will you knock it off?" Barley commanded.

"Just checkin." Spike put his knife back in his pocket.

"You got lucky again, but will you stop stabbing everything before you kill someone?"

"Relax man, our weapons can't kill anyone good, remember?"

Barley began to fume. "THAT'S STILL NO REASON TO STAB EVERYONE!"

"How about I stab you, man?"

"Not if I stab you first!"

Once again, Spike and Barley were in a contest to see who could get the most stabs in the other.

The pegasus yelled in frustration "Twilight! Will you please tell me what the hay is going on?"

Twilight, using her magic, grabbed the two and brought them over in the lobby of the library. She explained while still holding them.

"Rainbow Dash, this is Spike and Barley. They call themselves human beings. Spike, Barley, this is Rainbow Dash."

"How ya doin, man?" Spike, still floating in the air, reached out his hand to shake her hoof. Rainbow glared at it with a mixture of anger and confusion.

"Their weapons were made to make sure they wouldn't kill anyone that was good, which is why that knife couldn't make you bleed."

"Why didn't you try to stop them?"

"As idiotic as these two are, they already proved there weapons couldn't hurt anyone by using them on themselves, then me." She gritted her teeth. "Time and time again."

Spike couldn't help but laugh, Barley put his hand to his face and sighed.

"Which means I can trust them."

Twilight remembered about their other ability. "They also have this ability called respawn, which I can't really explain without having to show you, so ... Spike, Barley, may I?"

Barley looked at Spike, who only shrugged his shoulders.

He looked back at Twilight "Sure, just make it painless."

"Painless?" Dash thought. "Is she going to kill them?" Her suspicions were proved right as magic gathered around their necks, and with a loud snap, they went limp. Twilights magic faded and the bodies fell to the floor.

"Oh my goddess. Twilight, have you gone mad? Why did you- ?" but before she could finish, the bodies on the floor disappeared, then reappeared, just as alive as they were seconds ago.

"Wow - That's actually pretty cool. Are you two immortal? Can you teach me how to do that?"

Barley used his hands to pop the joints in his neck. "Nope, we can still die with old age, nothing stops that, and we can still feel pain, we're just lucky we couldn't die permanently from it. And no we can't teach it to you. It's not magic. We just sorta have it."

Rainbow slouched back in her chair. Her chance at immortality slipped out of her hooves.

"So, Rainbow." Twilight began. "What brings you here today?"

"I came to return that book you gave me. You were right, it was pretty good."

"Told you you'd like it. Anyway, it's good you came by when you did, I need you get the others."

"Sure. why though?"

"We're going to see the princesses."

Spikes eyes beamed with hope. "Oh man, we're gonna see the lil'o princesses man. I hope they got lil'o tiara's."

Ignoring his friend, Barley asked Twilight. "I thought you were going to say no to that."

"I was" Twilight answered. "But after thinking about it during that whole fiasco, their really is nopony else who would be powerful enough to bring you here using your respawn, magic or not."

Twilight was writing her letter to tell Celestia of their arrival, but remembered her assistant wasn't here to send her letter. "Augh, if only Spike were hear."

"But I'm right here, man."

"No no, my assistant, Spike. He's a dragon who helps me with my work."

"You got dragons here too?" Spike turned to Barley "Maybe this place isn't so bad, Barley."

"Don't you dare say that Spike! That show is for little girls and you know it!"

As Twilight and Rainbow looked at the humans with confusion, the door to the library opened again, this time revealing a small purple and green bipedal lizard.

"Hey Twi. I got you those ... the heck are you two?"

Twilight ran up to the small dragon, "No time to explain, I need you to send a letter to Celestia"

"You got it Twi." Spike the dragon found a quill and parchment on a nearby desk. "Ready when you are."

"Dear Princess Celestia..."

Unknown to all of them, a pair of yellow crossed eyes stared in amazement at the strange tall things. 'They seem kinda nice' She thought 'I'm gonna see if I can't find some more at the Everfree forest.'

So, in an strange, erratic pattern, she took off towards the forest.

This chapter takes place during "Read it and Weep" which is why Rainbow Dash is in a wheelchair.
