Pinkie, Chief and the others were on their way back to the park. Pinkie just couldn't believe that the festival started without her, and was also sad that she couldn't be involved with the rest of the preparations. She guessed as long as music played, the guests would be happy; but everyone knew it wasn't a real party without Pinkie.

The girls were still tired from their search, but were motivated by the music of the festival. Chief was still un-phased by exhaustion which was completely unbelievable. The girls couldn't get over how tall he was either.

Seven feet and eight inches wasn't a natural height for any human being at all. People who grow to that height usually don't live long.

His height and stature may have seem intimidating, but frankly he wasn't as tough as he looked. Since he wasn't the actual Master Chief, his armor was still made of light and thin plastic as if he was still an action figure. That would explain how he couldn't tolerate pain like the real Master Chief; also that he didn't have energy shields either.

The girls could only assume that this Arby could have been the same height, or worse even taller. But after seeing that video of him drinking semen out of cups, he couldn't be taken seriously as a threat.

When they arrived, the party was pretty lively even without Pinkie, but she made sure to jump in before it all changed which left Chief with Fluttershy, AJ, RD, Sunset, and Rarity to search for Arby and Twilight.

"htf r we g0nna find th3m n this shit?" Chief asked. "its liek plehying w3res wa1do"

"Well it should be easy to spot Twilight with her long purple hair and pink streak," Sunset replied. "As for this Arby guy, he should be a freaking alien obviously.

"A gay one," RD added.

"Oh please, I'm sure that was all acted out anyway. I could tell by the way he was talking. Sure it was monotone, but I could tell he really wasn't enjoying it," Rarity said indifferently with her arms crossed.

"i was. lmao"

"Let's stay focused y'all," AJ reminded. "We need ta drop that silly video from our heads an' get back to the real world ya hear?"

Everyone agreed, but Chief could never let it go. It was too priceless!

Since their were so many people, and that the park was really spread out, finding Twilight or Arby was like playing a game of finding a needle in a haystack; a rather huge haystack.

One landmark that stood out was the park's clock tower that stood at the center of it.

You know what they all say, if you're looking for someone, they'll always be at the biggest sites. Unless that's not really not a saying at all. But it is a great assumption through.

Fluttershy took notice of the clock tower and said, "I think we should check out the clock tower. Surely if their looking for us, they would expect us to go to the biggest structure in this park. If it's okay with everyone else I mean."

"I agree with Fluttershy. You can always count on the landmarks to be good rendezvous point," RD stated.

Fluttershy blushed sweetly.

"Let's get a move on then gang," AJ said.

In another area of the park, Arby and Twilight enjoyed the festivities of the party while simultaneously looking for any signs of the girls, or Chief. It obviously wasn't easy of course.

Twilight and Arby still got attention from the locals. Some people wanted an autograph or a photo with Twilight which she did do, while some people tried to keep their distance from Arby. His intimidating tall height and looks turned off many. Also that he was a real life alien as well!

Twilight and Arby glanced at the distant clock tower every now and then to check up on the time. It was now currently 8:23PM; still enough time.

If they picked up their pace a bit, they might have a good chance of finding Chief or the others in no time, but the constant attention was making it rather difficult for them. Twilight did appreciate being appreciated as a hero by people from a different world, but when there's a dimensional dilemma at stake, it's a little hard to enjoy.

After moments of useless searching, worry began to envelope them both.

"Oh where could they be?" Twilight fretted.

"I wish I knew, Twilight. I really did," Arby replied shrugging uncertainly. He wish he could say something comforting, but nothing came to mind. Plus he probably knew his words wouldn't work at this kind of situation.

He scanned every aspect of the surrounding area looking for anything that could be useful. As if by some cosmetic instinct, he focused his attention on the clock tower.

"I suggest we head over there," Arby said pointing at the landmark.

Twilight followed his indication.

"Why?" she asked curiously.

"Something tells me that Chief and the others are going to meet us there."

Twilight was a bit skeptical. She never believed in pure coincidences of knowing where someone will show up. Of course Pinkie was always the one to manage such unnatural talents human or pony.

After a moment of considering, she finally gave in.

"Alright, but you better be one hundred percent sure, nothing less then that," she said firmly.

Arby prayed that he was one hundred percent sure as well. The fate of the two worlds rested on Arby's instincts. Surely Arby and Cheif's presence wouldn't upset the balance, but Twilight didn't want to be stuck in another world away from her friends and Celestia, even through the inhabitants were similar to them. But it was world without magic, Twilight would definitely become homesick.

Arby was in a crisis too. If he couldn't return too Equestria for two in-a-half years, he somehow knew that Applejack will find another stallion. She could probably wait for him if she was that loyal, but Arby didn't want to take any chances.

Together, Arby and Twilight made a break for the clock tower with hours, minutes, and seconds ticked away before the spell letting them return to Equestria would fade.
