My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Friends from Unexpected Places

Chapter 12

Luncheon with the Princess

Young Derpy moved her hoof though the river, making ripples that extended out into the water.

She looked down at her reflection and stared at her eyes, her new walled eyes. The potion that gave her her eyesight back did it’s job, but made her eyes all… how do I say, warped. She couldn’t bare to look at them anymore so she hit the reflection with a rock. But no matter how hard she would try, the eyes were still there and aren’t going away.

eTu`nes just watched. He had no idea what to do when someone had a emotional crisis. He never saw it happen before to anyone, least in his species. He had to do something to comfort her.

“Say, Derpy…” he finally said. A depressed Derpy looked back with tears welling up in her eyes. eTu`nes stammered a bit, not sure what to say. “un… sure you don’t want to just go back home? You have your sight back.”

“I told you. I can’t.” she looked back down at the water. “not with my eyes like this.”

“And why not?”

Derps sighed as a tear fell. “remember when I told you that 2 foals were making fun of me for my clumsiness?” eTu`nes nodded, remembering what she had said earlier. “well… they didn’t stop there. They went after every other aspect of my life; the way I sound, the way I eat… even my family. They were the most….” she choked up, not wanting to go any further into the story.

The dragon knew how she felt. He had been in the same situation before.

“… and if I go back… with my eyes like this… they’d use it to torture me. I could barely survive them before. I just… I just can’t…” she tearfully said.

eTu`nes scratched the nape of his neck. This was some mess they were both in; they were both ridiculed by their own kind and tortured to the point they both ran away. The dragon looked away from Derps, not sure what to say, and spotted something that could probably help.

He walked over and kneeled down to pick it up. “Say, Derpy…” Derps sniffled and looked in his direction again. “think of your life like this Shasta Lily. You start out as a ugly bulb trying to survive against the elements of nature so you can bloom into a beautiful flower.” Derpy was confused by where he was going with this. “what I’m trying to say is that maybe, someday, you’ll find someone who likes you for you, who maybe likes your eyes.’ eTu`nes looked at her and winked. “Someone who cares about ya.”

Derpy looked away and sighed. “I guess. But… but I still don’t wanna go back. Not now, at least.”

eTu`nes sighed as he pinched the bridge between his eyes. Guess that was as good as he was gonna get.

20 Years Later…

Satoshi groaned as he sat in his temporary bed in Rainbow’s house. “why do I feel like hell?”

“un… well…” Dash grumbled, trying to put together a good way to explain it.

“well, basically, Sora accidentally give you a pill that made you, well, loopy.” Bahamut explained, able to stand in Dash’s house without falling out. “Good News is that your cold is gone completely.”

“well, don’t I feel better?” Satoshi sarcastically groaned. He fell backwards and fell asleep. Bahamut and Dash chuckled.

Halo looked over the maps of Equestria in the library with his brother Zilver, as well as Twilight and Requiem. Halo grumbled as these were all maps of Equestria, but not of the Everfree Forest.

“blast. Nothing on Everfree in the maps.” Halo exclaimed.

“Sorry, but those are all the maps we have in town.” Twi said, ashamed that she wasn‘t able to get Halo happy.

“Darn.” Halo sat on his plot, thinking of something else that could work. “What about books? You have books on the forest?”

“Plenty!” Twi excitedly exclaimed, startling Req. “Come on, Requiem. Gonna need your help carrying them.” Twi grabbed Req’s arm using her magic and pulled her upstairs to her room. Twi walked up but Req, being dragged, hit each step as she pounded up, exclaiming ‘Ow’ with each hit.

Celestia sat down at her desk and started to write a letter to send to Twilight. Maybe Twi could answer why Luna’s obsessed with Equestria’s new guests. Maybe this would be a good time to meet one of them herself.

Requiem rubbed her sore butt as Twilight rummaged though her room, looking for books on the Everfree. “I’ve only known you for 3 weeks but even I know this is scary.” Req said.

“Sorry, but I’m just trying hard to impress him.” Twi scrambled as she looked though her collection.

“Impress him?” Req looked down the stairs and got a wicked sneer. “Oh! I get ya.” Twi, while using her magic to grab a book, looked in her direction. “you like Halo!”

“What!?” Twi exclaimed. She started to blush a very heavy red. “I-I do not.” she said with a fluster.

“really? Then what’s with the blushing? The awkward movements?” Req paused for a moment. “and the rapid heartbeat?”

“y-y-you can hear my heartbeat?”

“When you’re a Demi-Goddess, you can get abilities nobody else can. In this case, powerful hearing. So powerful, it’s painful at times. And trust me, I know crushes when I see it.”

Twi looked away in embarrassment and blushed a deeper color then before. “R-really?”

Halo looked though a book he found downstairs on the forest and read though it. Zilver sighed and rolled his eyes. “Come on, Halo. Put that book down. You’ve been obsessed with this for a long while now. Think it can wait for a few more months.”

“Pbbt. And why would I wait for a few months?” Halo asked.

“hmm, I don’t know. Um… relax, take a walk around town, maybe find a marefriend…”

Halo blurted out laughing. He laughed for a few seconds before calming down. “Me? A Marefriend? Oh, you’re off your rocker, Zil.”

“No, I’m being serious.”

“*Scoff* what kind of mare would go for a researcher who’s obsessed with a forest which operates on it’s own merit?”

“well… I can think of one.” Halo chuckled at the assumption and Zil sighed as he trotted over. “oh, come on.” Zil exclaimed. “who’s your fantasy mare? Think she might be in town.”

“you wanna know my fantasy mare?” Halo asked with suspicion.

Zilver shrugged. “do Pegasi fly?”

Halo rolled his eyes and sighed. “well, if she was cute, attractive, has a sparkle in her eyes, has a cute bow, and doesn’t mind my fascination with the paranormal and mysterious, then I’d take you up on your offer of finding me a marefriend. But I doubt you’ll find one.”

“well, I know there’s a filly who wears a bow but I think she’s too young for ya, unless your into pedophilia.” Zil chuckled. Halo groaned and face-hoofed.

“r-really?” a flushed Twilight asked.

“really!” Req exclaimed. Req overheard the conversation Halo and Zilver had and smirked. In fact, you happen to have a bow?”

“a bow?” a confused Twi asked.

Rarity worked on a dress for a customer in Appaloosa with Spike assisting. “Thanks for helping me out, Spike. Ash made up some excuse for not helping.”

“Anything for you, Rarity.” Spike dreamily said, watching his crush work while holding a box of needles.

Rare hummed as she sewed on some feathers onto a hat.

Spike gagged and held his mouth. “Oh, man. *Gag* Not now.” Spike burped up a letter from Celestia. Rarity heard the gagging and looked his way. The fire from the letter’s arrival caused her to duck and the fire to hit the dress.

“oh, no no no!” Rarity exclaimed. She ran over and tried to blow it out but the fire quickly burned though the dress. “AH! Spike!” Rarity exclaimed with deep anger.

“Sorry. I don’t control when they come. Take that up with Celestia.” Spike groaned. He picked up the letter and furled it open.

“ugh. She better have a good reason for making you destroy my dress.” Rarity mumbled as she used her magic to pick up the ashes. Thankfully, the requester asked Rare to take her time with this one.

“says here that the Princess wants to talk to Twilight about our new guests.”

“She mean the humans?”

“yeah. Guess word finally got to her. She’s asking her to come immediately and is sending a carriage for her that should arrive in the hour.”

“asking about the newcomers to Equestria. Sure that’s gonna go well.” Rare said as she used her magic to get everything set up again.

“it gets better.” Spike sarcastically said. “says she wants Twilight to bring one of the newcomers to meet her.”

“Well, now that’s gonna be a problem. Everyone’s busy with something at the moment.”

“hope Celestia can deal with pictures.”

Halo and Zilver chatted amongst themselves as Requiem and Twilight came back down from upstairs, carrying all the books they could.

“here you go.” Req grunted, placing 2 stacks of books on the table. “every book we can find on the Everfree Forest.”

“thanks.” Halo said as he took one and opened it up.

Req looked back to Twi, who was hiding behind a stack. “come on, Req. I look ridiculous.” she whispered.

“no you don’t. trust me, he’ll love it.” Req whispered back. She walked on back and pushed Twi out from behind.

“un… hi Halo.” Twi nervously said. Halo looked up and saw Twilight blushing like a schoolgirl, wearing a big ribbon in her mane.

“Ms. Sparkle.” he acknowledged. “What’s with the ribbon?” Zil looked at Twi with a confused expression then up to Req.

“oh, nothing. Just felt like wearing it is all. Does it look cute?” she asked, hopeful at his response.

Halo looked it over and shrugged. “it’s cute-ish.”

“c-cute-ish?” a defeated Twi said.

Req face-palmed. “oh, so close.” she grunted. Now Zilver was getting really suspicious.

The bell above the door rang as Spike walked in, carrying the letter. “hey Twi, you got a letter from--” he noticed the bow in her hair. He tried to hold back laughing but couldn’t resist. He burst out laughing as he fell to the floor, holding his sides as he cracked up.

A embarrassed Twilight quickly took the bow off and tossed it away. Req got angry. She walked over and picked him up by the nape of his neck. “nice work, dragon-boy.” a peeved Requiem said.

“that was… that was just too funny.” Spike laughed as the laugher started to die off. “oh, that was rich.”

“t-there are a reason you’re back, Spike?” a highly embarrassed Twilight asked.

“oh, yeah. The Princess sent you a letter.” Spike wiggled free from Req’s grasp and fell to the floor. He unfurled the letter and cleared his throat.

“my faithful student,

When you told me that humans have arrived on Equestria, I was intrigued. Humans haven’t been seen on Equestria in 3000 years; the fact that there are some here, now, is quite mesmerizing. I myself have wanted to learn more about the humans but the closest I could get was old fairy-tails and storybooks. I heard your friend Lyra has a fascination with the subject matter as well…”

“and she does. I saw her making googly eyes at Sora.” Req said. “Lyra’s the green one, right?”

“aquamarine but yeah.” Twi quickly said. Spike cleared his throat, waiting for the 2 to quiet down. They zipped their lips and Spike went on reading.

“…oh, listen to me, prattling on. Anyway, the reason I’m sending this letter is that I wish to talk to you about these humans and what you able to find out about them, we‘ll make a Luncheon out of it.. If possible, try to bring one of them with you, if you can. I have sent a carriage for you; it should arrive within the hour you receive this letter.

Sincerely,
Princess Celestia.”

“The Princess is asking me about you guys? I barely know anything. Like what you guys said, I barely scratched the surface.” Twi said.

“just tell her what you can, Sure she’ll understand.” Req said.

Twi sat down and thought who was able to go. “ ‘bring one of them if you can?’ easier said then done- you all have things to do today. Aura’s helping down at Applejack’s, Sora and Ash are out with Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Dinky, Satoshi’s still out of it, Bahamut’s helping Fluttershy with that Mirror’s Edge pony, and I asked you to look after the library…”

“What about that Jax character?” Halo asked.

“she ain’t exactly a big fan of equines.” Requiem explained.

“equines?” Zilver asked.

“it’s what we called ponies and other hoofed animals back home. Anyways, Jax was almost trampled by a herd when she was young. Hasn’t been keen around them since. Being stuck on Equestria is practically hell for her.”

“that would explain the attitude.” Zil muttered.

“when did you get this, Spike?” Twilight asked.

“about 5 minutes ago at Rarity’s.”

“Which means I got 55 minutes till the carriage comes to pick me up. I better get ready.” Twi said. She walked on back to the kitchen.

“I’ll help. Never knew anypony who knows the princess on this level.” Halo said as he walked with her into the kitchen. The 2 talked while they went in.

“where’d she get the idea for the bow? It was pretty funny.” Spike chuckled, thinking back to the image.

“it was supposed to be cute.” Req said.

“cute?” Zil asked.

“well, Twilight… may have a school-girl crush on Halo.”

“oh. OH!!!”

“there you go.”

“So that was…”

“An attempt to get them together, but it looked like it failed before it even began.”

“really? You want those two together?” Spike asked. “they seem so… off.”

“Really?” they both asked, surprised to hear that from Spike.

Derpy yawned as she neared the library. It was a long day and she had to wake up early due to a big package that took 3 ponies to deliver.

She yawned, closing her eyes long enough to not notice the carriage fly by her, going towards Canterlot. The force sent her spinning though mid-air. She stopped after a few seconds, her eyes spinning from it.

“man. Could’ve at least said ‘excuse me.” Derpy angrily exclaimed as she watched the carriage fly towards the capital. “wonder who that was for, anyway?” she wondered as she flew towards Ponyville.

She spotted a familiar rainbow streak and flew on over.

Rainbow Dash position a cloud just right over a path leading from Ponyville to Trottingham. The path was expected to have light showers and that’s what she was plannin’ on doin’.

“HEY THERE, RAINBOW DASH!” Derpy called out as she flew on over. The surprise of hearing the klutz’s voice sent Dash flying back into the cloud, prematurely starting a light drizzle that hit a couple of travelers.

“un… Derpy. Un… hehe. What are you doing here?” Dash nervously asked as the klutz flew over.

“Well, for starters, I got a couple of letters for you.” Derpy said as she reached into her saddle-bags and pulled out a couple of letters. She handed them to Dash and she just swiped them out of Derps hooves.

“Thanks, Derp. See ya.” Dash quickly said, hoping to get far away from the walking time-bomb as fast as possible.

“Wait!” Derpy called out. Dash screeched to a halt and looked back. “Do you know where I can find Halo’s Light? I got a letter for him as well.”

“Halo? I think he’s at the library.”

Derpy flew off to Ponyville. Dash breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from her brow, and took off.

Celestia, Twilight, and Spike walked though the Canterlot gardens, passing by the statues. “thanks for meeting me on such short notice, Twilight. Though… I was hoping to have one of the humans here with you.”

“sorry about that, they were busy helping out around town. Aura’s working with Applejack, I asked Req to look after the library…”

“Req?”

“it’s a nickname of hers.”

“I see.” Celestia muttered. “you know, ever since Luna came back from the Summer Sun Celebration, she’s been quite obsessed with your new friends.”

“how so?” Spike asked.

“she’s basically turned into Twilight; having her head buried in books.”

Spike shivered at the thought. “and we don’t need another one of those.”

Twi gave Spike a scowl. He zipped his lips and shut up. “Princess. You said in your letter that humans haven’t been seen in 3000 years. Were they on Equestria before?”

“yes. Long before me and Luna came into being. I don’t know all the details myself; All I know is that they disappeared.”

“disappeared?” Twi asked as they passed a certain statue. “how?”

Celestia glared up at the statue. “I’ll give you one Draconequus guess.”

Twi got confused and looked in the direction she was. She and Spike looked up at the statue and shivered, remembering what he pulled before. “Discord?”

Celestia nodded. “Actually, Discord is one of many possibilities of how the humans disappeared. They could’ve left on their own accord, maybe they died out, maybe they’re hiding beneath the surface. There’s a number of possibilities, but Discord… that‘s the theory I‘m going and sticking with.”

Celestia walked off. Twi continued to stare up at Discord. She shivered and ran after the Princess.

“So, where’s this Luncheon you mentioned?” Spike asked. “I’m so hungry, I could eat a horse. No offense. It’s a saying the humans use.”

“They eat horses?” a surprised Celestia asked.

“it’s just a saying.” Twi said. “Means they’re really, really, really hungry. They say other animals they don’t eat to show how hungry they are, like Buffalo, Bull Elephants, a Whale…”

“and I think Sora mentioned a house once.” Spike finished.

Celestia was caught off guard by those sayings. “Really? The humans have some pretty interesting phrases.”

“And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.” Twi groaned as she shook her head ‘no’.

Halo continued to look though the books for any info on the Everfree Forest while Zilver took a nap. Req is reading a Daring Do book, using Zil as a pillow.

Something crashed outside, getting Halo to look up, Req to close her book, and Zil to wake up.

“Ow.” Derpy said. “think I broke your flowers, Twilight.” she called from outside. Req chuckled as she put the book down and walked to the door, opening it. Derpy looked up with a flower on her head. “Hey, Requiem. Is Twilight home?”

Req chuckled as she picked the flower off Derps head. “nope. She just left on business.” Req threw the flower away.

“well, then do you know where I can find…” Derps took out the letter and looked at the name. “…Halo’s Light? Rainbow Dash said he should be here.”

“that would be me.” Halo said, appearing from behind Req.

“Then this is for you.” Derpy handed him the letter. Halo used his magic to take it and open it up. He took out the contents and began reading it.

“Who’s it from?” Zilver lazily asked.

“it’s from Sis.” Halo said, all excited. “Says she’s coming to Ponyville.”

“Really? Sis?” Zil took the letter and began reading it himself.

“you 2 have a sister?” Req asked.

“youngest, but yeah. She left to become a performer.” Halo explained.

“Says here she’ll arrive around dusk.” Zil chuckled. “That’s always been her style, showing up at the last minute.”

“I can bet.” Req said. “thanks, Derpy.”

“Anyt--” Derpy was interrupted when a pink blur shot in, sending her and Req spinning though the air.

“Did I hear that correctly? A new ponies coming to town?” a excited Pinkie asked.

“Un… yes?” a frightened Halo replied, not sure what’s going on here.

“Alright!!! Anewponytopartywithandplaygamesandsignanddanceand… who is it, who is it?” Pinkie asked. Halo handed her the letter and she quickly read it. Req and Derpy landed on the floor on their backs. Once she saw who it was from, however, her attitude quickly changed. she gave a deep dramatic gasp and bolted on out of the library.

“what was that all about?” Requiem asked as she sat up and rubbed her head.

Twilight snorted as she laughed at the story she was telling Celestia and Luna at their luncheon in the gardens. “and then… and then… Lyra started following Aura everywhere, asking what it’s like walking on two legs, what it’s like to have hands, and how exactly they operate. She even tried to mimic him, with bad results.” Twi laughed again. Celestia and Luna weren’t sure what to say.

“you had to be there to see it but it was pretty funny.” Spike said. Twi snorted as she pounded her right hoof onto the table. “but not that funny.”

Twi took a few deep breaths and calmed down. “hoo. Hoo. Sorry. Just… It was just too hilarious.”

“I bet it was.” Luna said as she continued reading a book she found in the archives.

“anyway, it was a real shame none of the humans could come. I was looking forward to meeting one of them.” Celestia said.

“OH! That reminds me.” Twi exclaimed. She used her magic to make a picture appear. “Req gave me this just before I left.”

Celestia’s magic overlapped over Twi’s and the picture hovered to the princess. “the girl in the middle is Requiem. The one leaning on the lance is Aura. Sora’s the one who’s brushing her hair back. Satoshi’s the one with the squinted eyes. Ash is the one that looks like someone from Appaloosa or Dodge Junction. And Jax is the one giving what they call the ‘peace-sign’.”

“nice looking bunch.” Celestia muttered. “who’s the dragon?”

“Bahamut. He’s sort-of like Requiem’s adopted son; She raised him since he was an egg, like me with Spike. The Wolf, Fenrir, and the Eagle, Cobalt, belong to Ash.”

“Ah.” Celestia gave the photo back. “And they came here… how exactly?”

“on this giant flying ship called Orion.” Spike exclaimed. “it’s really huge, twice as big as the library and it’s really cool… or at least it was.”

“was? Oh, right. That giant monster you mentioned.”

“yeah. Thing basically smashed it up. They’re stuck here until they repair it. And even then, they have to get back a component stolen by the beasty.”

“and it was that component that allowed them to get here in the first place. Without it, even if they get Orion working again, they can’t leave without it.”

“I see.” Celestia sat there in silence for a moment. Twilight and Spike looked at each other with suspicion. Even Luna looked up. “well, I will do whatever I can to help them.”

“you will?!” the remaining 3 exclaimed.

Celestia winked and held that wink. “any friend of yours is a friend of mine.”

“well, I’m sure they’ll appreciate the help, Princess.” Twi said. Luna rolled her eyes and continued reading.

“it’s no problem.” Twi smiled. She used her magic to bring a tea cup up to her mouth. She then proceeded to take a sip of it’s contents. “so… I read that you met a pony who’s quite hot.” Celestia snickered.

Twi gagged and spit up her tea. The contents hit Luna, who just sat there with the liquid dripping from her hair. Twilight coughed as she gathered herself. “w-what?” *Cough*. W-when-when-when did I say that?”

Celestia used her magic to make the letter appear out of nowhere. “eep.” Twi hit Spike on the head. “I thought I told you to erase that last part.”

“I left it in because I thought it would be funny.” Spike snickered. “and it is.”

Twi looked back with embarrassment. “un… I un… I… wha… ba. Hehehehehehehehehe. Un… yeah. I met someone.”

“Really?” Luna said, even intrigued by this. “I didn’t know this when I was down there for the Summer Sun Celebration.”

“Well, I met him at the celebration. His name is Halo’s Light and he is SUPER HOT!!!” Twi guffawed.

“Here we go.” Spike groaned, taking a bite out of his gem-filled mini cake.

“he is like SUPER gorgeous. He’s got the prettiest eyes I ever saw, and nice legs. And that Accent! OH, I never knew I had a thing for british accents till I met him. Makes me melt every time i hear it.”

“sounds like more then just a crush.” Celestia said. “I think she’s in full-time love.”

“It’s like she’s in High School again.” Spike said. “just before we came, she tried to impress him by dressing up in a big bow.”

“SPIKE!!!” Twi exclaimed.

“Well, it’s true. Plus, when we met him after the celebration, didn’t you say, and I quote, ‘and that accent. *Purr* momma want?’”

Twi sat there with her mouth open, not believing what she had heard. She looked at the Princess’s, who stared at her with surprise. “I… un… oh, man. I’ve never been so embarrassed.” she groaned.

Spike got nervous. “think I went a bit too far.”

“you think?” Twi snapped. She got up and dusted herself off, blushing like a schoolgirl. “thanks for the luncheon, princess, but I really must be going.” she walked away in embarrassment.

“I could send a carriage to take you back.” Celestia mentioned.

“I’ll take the train!” Twi called out as she walked away faster.

Spike chuckled as he jumped down off his seat. “Thanks for the eats.” he said as he ran after Twi.

Luna and Celestia looked at each other and chuckled.

“No. no no no. there’s no way she’s your sister. You’re the exact polar opposite.” Dash said as she and the rest of the Mane 6, + humans, gathered out front of the library.

“did sis really leave that much of a impression on the town when she was last here?” Zil asked.

“un….. You could say that.”

“she was such a meanie-head.” Fluttershy said. “she was always boasting on and on how she was better then everyone else…”

“truth be told, she was annoying.” Applejack intervened.

The humans just sat back and let them talk.

“you have any idea what they’re talking about?” Ash asked.

“nope.” Jax said, taking a bite out of some popcorn.

The sound of wheels rolling caught there attention as a familiar carriage rolled up. “where are my darling brothers!?” a very familiar voice called out.

“uh-oh.” the Mane 6, minus Twi, all said.

The train rolled into Ponyville station and hissed as it stopped.

“I can’t believe you embarrassed me like that.” Twilight said as she and Spike walked off.

“she was gonna find out sooner or later. Why not sooner?”

“that part, I could’ve handled. But you had to go on with it, what with th--” Twi got interrupted by a rainbow blur that smacked into her. “Ow. What is it with this day?” Twilight groaned. She looked to see Dash laying on top of her, dazed by the crash. “Rainbow? What are you doing here?”

Rainbow groaned as she woke up. “man. I need to watch where I‘m flying today.” she looked down and saw the lavender mare. “Here you are! I’ve been looking all over Ponyville for ya.”

“why? And you mind getting off, please?”

“Sorry.” Dash used her wings to get off Twi, who got up on her own.

“What’s the rush, Dash?”

“well, I didn’t wanna believe it at first but… SHE’s back in town!”

Twilight was, within a doubt, confused by what she meant by that. “she? Who, exactly, are you talking about?”

“just come to the library and see.” Dash took off without saying another word.

“what was that all about?” Spike asked.

“I… honestly have no clue.” Twi sighed. “Come on. We better go see what has Dash all wiled up.” the 2 left the station and headed for the library.

Twilight and Spike walked though a alleyway shortcut to the Library when small fireworks started popping over it.

“Fireworks?” Spike muttered. “those… seem familiar.”

The gears in both of their heads turned for a moment before reaching the same conclusion. “HER!?!” they both exclaimed.

They both ran out of the alley to the library to see the very familiar caravan parked out front.

“it’s wonderful to see you, Sis.” Halo said, hugging his sister.

“The feelings mutual.” she replied.

“I honestly can’t believe it.” Rarity said, mesmerized by the weird-ness. “that your sister is…”

“TRIXIE?!?” Twilight exclaimed with surprise.

The Azure coat pony with the Pale Cornflower Blue mane smiled. She looked back, her cape flowing in the wind. “Well, it’s been a while, Twilight Sparkle. and it is the Great and Powerful Trixie!”

this is where the side-story ' of Ponies and Humans ' takes over. i'm gonna finish that before continuing on with the main plot in this story. i'll do a synopsis after 'of Ponies and Humans' is done.
