"Ow...I totally forgot about the headache..." Sunset rubbed her forehead with her hoof. Oh right, she was a pony again. Jeez, the last time had been, when...right. When she stole Twilight's crown. Shaking off the uneasy feelings, she looked around and found everypony struggling to get up to their feet eh hooves.

"Hello everypony." Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship greeted them, stifling a laugh, when she saw Snips and Snails falling over each other. Derpy herself was sitting on her flank and looking around the huge room they were in. "Wow." Was all that came out of her snout. Vinyl still had her sunglasses AND her headphones attached to her mp3, which was in the saddle bag. She greeted Twilight with a smile, while standing shakily on her hooves.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, Bon Bon! I'm a unicorn! Squeal!"

"Stop screaming into my ear." Bon Bon complained, eyeing her hooves carefully, carefully getting up on her hint legs, then the right front leg and then the other one. Lyra in the meantime seems to be a natural, Sunset at least thought so, until Lyra tried to dance around in her hyper mood and fell on her snout.

Flash was just having as much trouble, falling on his stomach over and over again. "Sunset, I think we need to help them." Twilight pointed out and Sunset nodded. "Yeah, I guess. Nice place by the way."

"Thanks." Twilight immediately walked over to Flash, making Sunset shake her head, smiling knowingly. She herself walked over to Snips and Snails. Since they helped her in the past with her schemes, she felt like she owed them for dragging the two into everything and turning them into demons. "Alright guys, take it easy." Sunset still could use her magic. It was learning to use a bicycle. You never forget how it works, no matter what.

"WHOA! I can fly!" Snails exclaimed until Sunset dropped him to the ground. "Aw man! Why am I so tiny, anyway?"

"Yeah, I thought we'd turn into horses!" Sunset rolled her eyes. Had those two even bothered listening? Ah, who was she kidding?

"First thing, we're ponies. Get used to it. If you don't want to be, then go back and give someone who actually wants to come over here the chance. Second, if you still want to stay here, listen up."

For the next hour Sunset and Twilight gave each of the humans turned into ponies tips on how to stand and which leg to use first, when walking.

"So" Flash Sentry asked sheepishly, his cheeks getting a little red "are you...ehh...going to help figuring those out?" He asked, holding his wings up. Everyone else chuckled, having heard him. Twilight flushed a little herself, but caught herself by shaking her head. "Sorry, I think my friend is more suitable for flying lessons. Anyways, I think we should now-"

She was interrupted by a blue blur slamming a door open and flying into the room. "Gee Twi, what's taking you guys so long?" Rainbow Dash asked, putting her hooves on her hips, while still flying.

"Rainbow Dash?!" Everyone except Twilight and Sunset exclaimed. The latter facehooved. "Did any of you guys actually listen, when I was giving a small presentation in front of the entire school? Each of us has a counterpart in this world, well except for me since I was born here. It's NOT surprising at all meeting a second Rainbow Dash."

"We're coming Rainbow Dash." Twilight said a little annoyed. "We just need to take it slow. It's not every day you get into a new body, you know?"

Rainbow only rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, just come already." She flew ahead, not minding giving the guests they had a second look.

"Right, but before that, I want you all to stand still for a second." Everyone looked at each other. "Why's that?" Snips and Snails asked simultaneously. Instead of answering, Twilight's horn glowed up, catching everyone's attention. Suddenly each of their flanks (except Sunset's) started to glow up, as a huge black C appeared over their cutie marks.

"There, now everypony will know that you're from Canterlot High."

"Hey..uh..Princess..."

"Just call me Twilight."

"Right, uh....Twilight." Bon Bon spoke up. "What's with those tattoos?" she asked. Sunset facehooved. "I feel like no one really appreciated my hard work." she muttered in a slightly defeated way.

Twilight looked disapprovingly over the bunch. She knew how it was, when someone's not listening while you try to give an explanation or lesson.

"Oh...uh...I did." Flash said, after that look of Twilight hit him. "Oh yeah?" Sunset smiled devilishly. She knew he only wanted to impress Twilight, his crush was pretty obvious. It just surprised her it lasted even with his entire biology changed. "Then tell me. Pop quiz Flash Centry: What are the pictures on our flanks and what do they represent?"

"Oh...uh...."

"Well?"

"Ehh...they're called...cutie marks?"

"Go on."

"And they represent......"

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1...."

"Our special talent?" he squeaked like a mouse.

"Good, I'm not going to burn you down. But I swear I'm going to do that on the next one I catch slacking during one of my lectures."

"Isn't this whole thing about learning harmony?" Lyra asked Derpy, who shrugged in response.

Sunset couldn't help it. She felt a tad jealous as she walked through her friend's castle. Now that she thought about it, she only needed to restrain herself and she would have easily taken Twilight's place.

Her attention was caught by Derpy who almost stumbled into a vase. Her clumsiness didn't stood out for once, seeing as the others still had problems adapting to their new bodies. Vinyl had problems adjusting her headphones with no fingers.

"Need help?" Sunset offered, adjusting the headphones with her magic.

"Thanks." Vinyl replied.

The group arrived in the throne room. Sunset was surprised to see six, no, seven thrones. On each of them was sitting a mare, except on Twilight's and of course little Spike.

The other high school students gaped at seeing all the familiar faces.

"Uh, why are they all staring at us?" Rainbow asked.

"Well, your human selves are kind of famous around the school on the other side." Sunset replied, rubbing her head.

"THIS CALLS FOR A PARTY!" Pinkie shouted, her voice echoing through the halls for a long time.

"Pinkie, the party comes later." Twilight chided. "Okie-dokie-lokie!"

Twilight took her respectable seat on the throne and cleared her throat. "Well then, I just wanted to welcome you all to Equestria. Since you'll be only here for a week, I'll keep this short. You have the chance to learn more about the everyday life of us ponies. You'll be living in the guest rooms of this palace for the time being. For the first day we'll all supervise you and make sure you get the hang of your new bodies. On Friday we'll go to the capital city Canterlot and on Saturday we'll visit the Crystal Empire and on Sunday you'll of course return. The other days you can do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't include causing disharmony of any kind. Any questions?"

"Mmm, well I am a unicorn now and, well...I thought I could learn some magic." Lyra smiled sheepishly.

Twilight frowned. "Well, a week is a little short to teach you magic...."

"Darling, I think levitation and illumination is the least we could do." Rarity spoke up.

"And since she's a fully grown unicorn, it shouldn't be impossible, right?" Sunset spoke up. Twilight nodded absentminded. "As long as it is only those two spells, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Soooo, anypony up for a crash course in flying?" Rainbow asked, rubbing her hooves together.

"Oh me, me!" Derpy jumped up, waving her hoof.

Great, now there're two of them. I gotta ask Twilight for a healing spell for her eye someday.

"Alright, but before that, these fine stallions over there will show you your rooms." Twilight gestured towards a group of guard ponies. "Sunset Shimmer? Mind if you come with me for a bit?"

Everypony nodded. "Alright, we'll meet you all at the entrance hall. The guards will show you the way.

Sunset followed Twilight, while the students followed the guard ponies. Twilight's friends walked ahead towards the entrance.

Sunset and the princess walked into what seemed to be a laboratory, which was stationed under the castle. The unicorn immediately had to think off Frankenstein, seeing all the instruments.

"How are things over there?" Twilight asked, levitating a few stray books back into their shelves. "Well, a lot of people ask me about this world here, but they take the whole project pretty good, surprisingly."

"That's good to hear. To be honest, I had my doubts at the beginning, but the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced this is the right way."

"Wasn't this all your idea?" Shimmer asked. Sparkle shook her head. "No, it wasn't even Celestia. It was my sister in law, Princess Cadance who had the idea. She has the power of reminding ponies what they mean to each other and that's where the whole idea came from. Even Celestia at first thought this was nothing more than brainwashing."

"Really?" Sunset asked. "She looked pretty convinced to me."

Twilight shrugged. "It's not like we're forcing a completely new personality on the people. We're just showing them what they did wrong."

"It's more than just that..." Sunset looked uncomfortably to the side. "Oh sorry." Twilight apologized. "It's just hard to imagine you being...evil."

Sunset laughed dryly. "I take it as a compliment. So, you wanted something from me?"

"Ah right. It's about how we perform the spell. Just the twelve of us using our harmony powers won't be enough. We need something...which spreads the magic all over an entire planet."

"All over an entire planet, huh?"

Twilight nodded. "I thought it might be good to ask whether you had an idea or not. I know it's been a while, since you last read a magic book, but still..."

"Actually, I think I got something. You still know about cell phones, right?"

"Yes. Are you suggesting we spread the magic by calling everyone on the planet?" Twilight asked. "No. Okay, you're close enough. You see, cell phones send signals towards satellites, which are flying around the planet and the satellites send the signal to the destined phone. If we somehow connect our magic with only one satellite, then that satellite could connect to more and so on and then..."

"...our magic will hit the earth from space and the waves should spread wide enough to cover the entire world!" Twilight finished in excitement.

"You know, we sound like two evil masterminds, planning to conquer the world, like in one of those comics."

"At least you never got sucked into one. Back to the matter at hand, I don't think a cell phone will withstand the magic we plan on putting into it."

Sunset nodded. "I think we need some materials from Equestria to build a special cell phone. But then again, I guess we can't just ask one of the companies for a special delivery, like: 'Hey we need a phone that withstands the force of  very powerful magic'."

Twilight smiled in response, walking over to another bookshelf. "Well then we just take one into its pieces, study them and then built our own phone."

"I still think there's more to it, like getting the right wavelength for the satellites. Some of the materials to make a phone are pretty rare on earth and I don't know about Equestria. Okay, for that we could recycle a phone, but still, it needs to be magic resistant too. And how are we going to use our powers in the first place?"

"Same as last time." Twilight grinned. "Music."

Human Twilight (or sci-Twilight as some youtubers called her) was now standing in front of the massive building of Canterlot High School.

Not exactly a pleasant experience going back to school. But for the sake of science I need to find out what exactly is going on here.

Twilight was wearing something more formal, than her lab coat. She would start next week as a teacher, but the two principals wanted at least get to know her.

It's okay Twilight. This is nothing more than a simple job interview. You've rehearsed this 238 times.

Taking in a deep breath, Twilight walked inside. Since school was over, only a few students were left, attending their respectable clubs. She heard music coming out of one room and had to admit, it sounded pretty good.

However, the more she went into the building, the more she felt like she was being watched by someone.

It's just your nerves Twilight. Breath in, breath out. Breath in, breath out.

Arriving at the principal's office, Twilight knocked at the door three times. "Come in." she heard from the other side.

She slowly opened the door and entered, finding the two co-principals inside. "Ah, Miss Sparkle I assume?" The woman with the brighter hair and skin color stood up and offered a handshake. Twilight shook it respectfully. "Yes, that's me."

"I'm Principal Celestia Sol and this is my sister, Vice-Principal Luna Sol."

The two exchanged a handshake as well.

"Now then" Celestia placed herself back on the table, while her sister preferred to stand. Celestia gestured Twilight to take a seat. "You have a very impressive record Miss Sparkle. 3 Doctor Titles. Are you by any chance already writing on the fourth?" Celestia joked.

"Oh...uh...not yet."

Luna and Celestia noticed by the way she was speaking that she didn't get that it was meant as a joke.

"You're still pretty young. A few of our students are as old as you. Are you sure you're up to this?" Luna asked.

"I..y-yes, I think I am." Twilight calmed herself inwardly.

"If I may ask a question, what made you decide to become a teacher in the first place?" Celestia asked. "With this record you could easily get any job you want. So why teacher? And why Canterlot High of all schools?"

"Well..."

I can't exactly tell them I picked up some strange readings and saw some strange lights and made some pictures. Luckily I prepared for this. More or less.

"I never was that interested in a high job or something. I... want to show others what you can achieve, if you only study hard enough. And...I also have a dog and anything higher as a teacher, I wouldn't have time for him."

"A dog?"

"Yes, he's waiting for outside at this very moment. Off the school ground of course."

Celestia smiled. "I see." The similarities are almost scaring. So much for some normal work. Which reminds me, I better tell the student beforehand that we found the human Twilight Sparkle.

The conversation went on for another 20 minutes, until Twilight said her goodbye to her new bosses and left.

"Even if she might be useful for the project, she's clearly not fit for being a teacher, no matter how smart she is. So, why does she want to be one, after all she went through?" Luna asked, looking at the record.

Celestia crossed her fingers and looked straight towards the door through which Twilight Sparkle had left. "You're right. It is off. However even if she is not fit for a teacher now, doesn't mean she won't fit someday. I think all she needs is to experience the magic of friendship."

Luna shook her head. "The magic of friendship. It still sounds too much of a fairytale to me sister."

"Even after meeting a goddess that just looks like you?" Celestia asked. Luna sighed. "Even after this. Sometimes I expect to wake up from a coma and it turns out you have just been reading one of your old children books to me the entire time, causing me to dream all this."

"Well, you have always been a little lunatic."

This made Luna smack her sister over the head.

Twilight in the meantime was untying Spike from the statue in front of the building. "Alright Spike, let's go home." The dog barked happily in response and walked a little ahead of his owner. Unbeknownst to the two, they have been watched by a certain Pink haired girl ever since they arrived at the school and now she had her friends with her.

"My word, she clearly needs a makeover." Rarity stated.

"So this is the human egghead princess?" Rainbow asked.

"Well she is the human Twilight, but it ain't like she's a princess, ya know? Ah, think she's just transferring here."

"Oh, oh, we should totally make friends with her right now!" Pinkie was hold back by both AJ and RD. "Easy there sugercube. Ah think we should tell Sunset and princess Twilight first. Fluttershy, ya still got the book?"

"Oh, umm, yes." Fluttershy took out the book, a pen and started writing.
