The group had decided to split up. Snips and Snails were together with Twilight and Sunset, secretly just because the chances were the highest with them losing control over their magic. By pure coincidence, the four met the ponies Snips and Snails and now all of them were seated in Sugercube Corner. The humans told their counterparts about the awesome transformation of Sunset Shimmer and how awesome it was to be transformed into demons.

Sunset wasn't sure what to do. Hide her face behind Twilight's book or burn those two down. A few ponies were watching with wonder the two pairs of "twins". Of course the townsfolk had been informed, but it was still quite the sight and quite the story.

Twilight petted Sunset's back in pity. "Hold me back Twilight. I'm about to do something really stupid."

"I don't know just what went wrong." The two Derpies chorused, sitting on the piles of rubble what once had been the town hall. To their defense, it wasn't really their fault. Rainbow Dash made a mental note as to never, EVER again leave the weather schedule to somepony else. She just wanted to escape the paperwork for once and used the excuse of being busy with the Harmony Project, although they barely started.

Welp, the result was somepony forgetting to get rid of a few stormclouds, Derpy the mailmare accidentally flying into it, as well as Derpy the inexperienced flier. They got shocked and got blown into the town hall with a strong gust of wind.

Flash didn't know how the two even survived. He almost broke something by just crash-landing through tree branches. He decided to not leave the ground for the rest of the day, as Rainbow Dash was yelling furiously. As the head weather mare, she would be the one who had to take responsibility, not only for wasting storm clouds, but also of the accident.

Fluttershy tried to calm her friend down, but no pony could really here her. Rainbow was yelling about getting the money from the salary of the other weather ponies.

"Uhh...mom?" Flash and the two Derpies looked around, to find Dinky. "Dinky!" The mare with the mail back cheered and hugged her daughter.

"Mom, why are there two of you?"

Flash looked over to "his" Derpy. "You have a daughter?!"

"Yup!" she said proudly.

I am not sure what to feel for her daughter. Wait a moment, who's the father? And how does she handle high school and being a mother, while being so clumsy?

"Great, now there are two of them." Both Bon-Bon's looked at each other and chuckled. They had long given up on trying shutting up their marefriends. Fun fact of the week, pony Lyra was sitting like a human and of course human Lyra like a pony.

Right now they were discussing the differences of their societies of what would have happened if humans were capable of using magic or if ponies would be anthro like.

The two Bon's let out a deep sigh. "Do you want to try some candy?"

"Thanks. I brought some candy myself from my world."

"Maybe we could open up a company that spreads across both worlds?"

"Sounds like a plan. But first, taste check."

"Agreed."

"Did anypony said something about candy?" Pinkie asked as she and AJ came back from helping the CMC getting out of a wall. You know, crusading stuff.

AJ actually figured they might as well leave the four alone. They looked like they came along pretty well. Besides, her business was apples, not candy.

Vinyl, the human one, managed to get Rarity "in the zone" after telling her a little bit about the dresses the human Rarity made for the human band.

The pony Vinyl had now the time listening to the mp3 of the other Vinyl, while said Vinyl was carefully trying to handle the music discs, without scratching them.

Not much to say there with nothing more happening, than a small crowed gathering. It ended with the two ponies to have a DJ battle. Maybe it would have been better if Pinkie would have accompanied them. The mare would have known how to further liven up this place.

At dinner, back inside the castle, everypony told his/her story of the day. Derpy adjusted rather quickly by handling her foot without any hands.

"Well, looks like everypony's day was quite eventful." Twilight commented. "Shut up, Twi." Rainbow groaned. "I swear, when I find out who's behind this, I'm gonna throw them into the dungeon. Heh, I always wanted to say that."

"Uh, sugercube? Don't ya think ya're a little bit overreactin'? 'Sides, we ain't having a dungeon." AJ said.

"Ah, horsefeathers."

"It's a way of cursing here." Sunset explained to the confused looking C-ponies. Her gaze fell on Flash Sentry, who looked like he was in pain. "You okay Flash?"

"Huh? Oh yeah. Just a little cramps." He stretched his wings. Rainbow only shook her head. "I have my hooves full for the week."

"Umm, Rainbow Dash? Maybe we should let them enjoy the week. If you don't mind..." Fluttershy said meekly. "Fluttershy is right Darling. This isn't the Wonderbolts Academy." Rarity spoke up, sipping from her wine with her magic.

"Aw, I wish I could do that." Lyra whined. Bon-Bon shook her head. "I feel a little bit like an outcast here. I mean, I'm just a normal pony. No magic or wings-"

Sunset slammed her head on the table. "Hey Twilight, where's Spike?"

"Uh, he should be here anytime soon. Why?"

"Because I need to burn something down. Seriously, why doesn't anyone listen to me, when it is important?" she whined. She made a quick recovery and slammed her hoof on the table, getting everyone's attention.

"Now you listen up! You're an earth pony. You have an extra boost in strength! You get it now?!" she shouted.

"Yes, madam!" Bon-Bon saluted. Snips and Snails snickered. Sunset shot them an angry glare, before taking in a deep breath. "Don't worry Sunny! You can let all your frustration out at the party tonight!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Then, why are we eating here in the first place, when there's still a party going on later?" Lyra asked.

"Oh this is just something light and moreover something healthy." Twilight explained. "I thought it couldn't hurt or else all you would have inside your stomachs for the night would be sweets. It's also there to get you accustomed to Equestrian food."

"That sounds more like you have put something in there that'll turn us into mindless zombies." Snails commented. Sunset teleported out of the room. Outside the window a huge pillar of fire could be seen. Afterwards Sunset teleported back to her seat in the room. "Something the matter?" she asked as everypony was looking at her.

Luckily Spike finally entered the dining room with a bunch of servants trailing behind him, bringing the food on the table. "Sorry I'm late." He had the special book in his claws. "Principal Celestia and the girls wrote a message. They have found the human Twilight."

"Really?" That got everyone's attention. "Yeah, but it's strange." Spike opened the book. "They write here that, although she's the same age as you Twi, she's signed up in becoming a teacher at Canterlot High."

"WHAT?!"

"Does that mean we'll soon have a princess as a teacher?" Snips asked. "Cool." he and Snails commented.

Sunset levitated the book over to herself and skimmed through the words. "Principal Celestia wants to talk to us, when the week is over, if that is okay with your schedule, she writes." The yellow unicorn turned towards Twilight.

"Come on guys." Spike spoke up. "Can't it wait? I'm starving."

"Do you want a dog treat?" Sunset asked.

Unbeknownst to all, Derpy was already finished. She found moving in a pony body and doing everyday stuff much easier, than in her human body. Which cannot be said for the others. Another reason Twilight set up this small dinner was, so no one would embarrass him or herself in front of the entire town.

"Phew, ah'm beat." Human AJ stretched her fingers after they were done with rehearsing. "Yeah, I could use something with lots of sugar in it." Rainbow said, throwing an empty water bottle in a nearby trashcan.

The group of five exited the building and straight headed towards Sugercube corner. "Hey Pinks, can you make me one special, when we're there?"

"Okie, dokie, lokie, Dashie." It was not a workday for Pinkie, but she still was allowed inside the kitchen. The skies were clear today, showing all the stars shining down. Rarity looked up, sighing and enjoying the sight. "We certainly took our time today."

"Well duh. Everything's gotta be perfect for our grand show." Rainbow said, putting both fists into the air.

"But...umm, don't we need to rehearse...with the others from..."over there"?" Fluttershy pointed out.

"You're absolutely right." Rarity agreed.

The group entered Sugercube Corner. Only one other customer was present, but they were too focused on themselves to even notice. "Pinkie, while ya at it, can ya bring me one too?"

"Alrighty. What about you girls?"

"Well, after such a tiring day, I could use something like this as well."

Fluttershy nodded. "I know. I feel a little tired after using so much magic on purpose. I can still feel my pony ears. Umm, they are gone, aren't they?" She checked her head.

"They're. But not your wings." Fluttershy eeped and franticly looked over her back, only to find out Pinkie had been joking with her. The girls all giggled and Fluttershy blushed a little, but she smiled as well.

"Be right back girls." Pinkie walked over into the storage room to get an apron, before walking into the kitchen. Officially she had to wear one every time she was in the kitchen.

"Woo wee. Now that ya mention it Fluttershy, ah feel pretty beat too. This all magic stuff ain't as easy as it sounds, when Sunset and Twilight talked about it." AJ leaned back into the comfy chair, sweating a little.

"But it is totally awesome doing that. I mean watch this." Rainbow started humming "Better than ever" and allowed the pegasus magic to flow freely through her body. After a few seconds pony ears appeared on her head. Slowly wings started growing out of her back, but all of the sudden she stopped her humming and slammed her head on the table. Her ears and wings disappeared.

"I think I'm out of juice."

"Good thing I brought the fuel." Pinkie placed a glass in front of Rainbow and placed four more glasses on the table. "Oh thanks Pinks. You're a life saver."

"Mmm, marvelous darling. Simply marvelous." Rarity complimented Pinkie's extra sweet drink. It was a special milkshake in everyone's favorite flavor and some "secret ingredients". Knowing Pinkie, no one dared to ask what really was inside. Besides, nowadays everything can be found in the food that could be bought inside the local supermarkets. Human bodies have to be at least a little poison resistant.

"I wonder how Sunset is doing. I don't know how I would feel, going home after all those years." Fluttershy looked down at her drink.

"Relax Flutters, I'm sure she's fine." Rainbow assured.

"Why don't we check the book?" Pinkie asked. Fluttershy opened her back. "Oh, it's glowing." She took it out and opened it. A smile crept onto her face. Pinkie looked into it and her eyes widened. "WHAT? The Pinkie over there has a party canon?! I want one too!"

Sunset felt totally dizzy after being shot by the party canon. All kinds of candy were stuck inside her hair, along with melted chocolate on her tail. The ponies around her cheered and laughed at the sight before them and stomped with their hooves on the ground.

The High school students laughed, but they wouldn't laugh for long. "Alright Pinks. Fully loaded." Rainbow Dash announced.

"Alright girls! Take aim!" Rarity and Applejack readjusted the party canon, which was now aiming at the CHS Snips and Snails.

"No!"

"Show mercy!"

The two tried to run away, but were soon enveloped in purple magic. Twilight, having an evil smile on her face, floated them right in front of the canon. "No escape from the "Welcome to Equestria Ritual"."

"I didn't sign up for this!"

"I wanna talk to my lawyer!"

"I call diplomatic immunity!"

"Look at this. They can think, when they want to." Sunset mumbled.

"3!" Pinkie announced.

"2!" Spike shouted, holding up a sapphire cupcake.

"1!" The crowd cheered.

"MERCY!" Snips and Snails were embracing each other and shaking like mad.

BAM!

Vinyl was carefully hiding under the table, where the music was being played on. Too bad her tail gave her away. Spike pulled her out from under there and placed her in front of the canon while she was still in hunker down position with her hooves over her sunglasses. Too late she noticed she wasn't under the table anymore.

For Derpy a bunch of muffins were loaded into the canon. She was the only one who enjoyed it.

Lyra was a bit tougher. She had a cuteness overload from all the ponies around her. She had been "observing" the behavior of all of ponies. She wanted to write a book about her experience here, but her senses were simply overwhelmed by such a huge crowd of aliens.

Pinkie gave her some kind of "syrup", so both she and Bon-Bon would be aware of being shot by the canon.

Flash put on a brave face for Twilight, but couldn't prevent his body from shaking. He got a cupcake straight on his muzzle and it stuck there for a minute or two, causing uproar of laughter from the townsfolk.

After everyone passed their "ritual" it went on like any other party made by Pinkie Pie. The human Lyra got a bandanna over her eyes and was spun around a few times, before she needed to put a tail on a pony picture. Add to the dizziness the fact she still wasn't completely accustomed to her new body, it got very adventurous. Bon-Bon at least tried to push Lyra in the right direction, but-

Knock, knock.

Sunset stopped mid-writing. She was lying in her guest bed and turned her head towards the door. "Who is it?"

"It's me Twilight."

Sunset titled her head and trotted over to the door and opened it with her magic, when she was halfway there. "What's up?"

"Oh, just saw you still had the lights on and thought I'd ask what was keeping you up." Twilight answered.

"I'm writing to our friends over there. Telling them what happened today."

Twilight's eyes lit up. "Do you mind if I write a few sentences myself?" she asked.

"Sure. Come in. My memory is a little fuzzy anyway. Too many cupcakes."

Twilight walked inside. Sunset levitated the book over to a desk, where she and Twilight placed themselves on two chairs. "I was just telling them about how Lyra accidentally put the tail on Bon's flank."

The two girls giggled. "Not as funny as when Pinkie started to dance and slammed Flash and Derpy accidentally into the crowd." Twilight levitated a feather of her own and started writing.

"Don't forget the eating contest between you and the major." Sunset grinned evilly and wrote it down, right under Twilight's writing.

The humane five giggled over the happenings at the party in Equestria.

"Sure wish ah woulda have seen it all with mah own two eyes." AJ stated as Fluttershy closed the book and put it into her bag."

"Oh, look at the time. We better head home." Rarity said, pointing at her watch.

"Hey girls, how about one last song before we go? I'm sooooooo full of energy right now." Pinkie made a gesture with her arms.

"Umm, are you sure? What if anybody sees us?" Fluttershy pointed out.

"Ah, come on. Everyone who's going around at this time will think he had too much booze. Besides, we're pretty much alone here." Rainbow pointed out. None of them had seen the other guest just going into the bathroom a minute ago.

"Alright dears, but only humming. I won't be able to speak tomorrow if we sing." Rarity said.

"Alright girls. One, two, three."

They all started humming better than ever, with Pinkie using her fingers as drumsticks. She hammered them down on everything she could find. Sure enough, after they began they started transforming into anthros. Although it strained them a little bit, it was always a wonderful feeling and helped them in getting rid of that extra sugar in their systems.

Spike barked happily as his owner returned home. Twilight immediately ran downstairs and turned her computer on. "I was right Spike. Something IS going on in that school." she said, while impatiently waiting for her PC to boot up.

A scratch on her leg reminded her that she needed to feed her dog.

"Urrgh, you're going to get fat at this rate." she playfully told her dog and ruffled his head. She filled his bowl with his favorite dog food. By the time she finished, her PC was online. She hooked her Smartphone towards the thing and started printing the photos she made. She also made a copy of the video she took of first that one girl singing and then them all together.

The finished photos she pinned on her blackboard and took a few steps back, taking thinking position.

"Pony ears, tails and wings? What the hell is up with this?"

She wrote a few words on a paper and pinned it next to the pictures.

Magic (?!?)

Music

Singing

Twilight put a hand under her chin. I haven't been seeing things. I have the photos. I better keep an close eye on those five. Next Chapter: Friends and Family Estimated time remaining: 39 Minutes
