Edward and Twilight walk through the halls of Kilgharah Academy till they pass two large medieval styled old looking doors which open up into a very large library with several large tables down the centre of the room with lamps atop them. Above the pair is the second and third-floor balcony which are filled with rows upon rows of shelves filled with books big and small, new and old. All over the place are slightly smaller floating bookcases held aloft by some form of magical suspension.

"Maybe if I wasn't stuck here I could take the time to appreciate what a marvel this grand looking library is... So many books and I think it'd take me at least a year to get through them all." Twilight sighs gently taking a deep breath to admire her surroundings.

"I'll have to admit the sight never gets old and I'm fairly certain they are also expanding the Academy collection. You know this is the first wing of three, right?" Edward asks looking at Twilight.

Twilight makes a slight dying noise as she slowly turns her head to look at Edward with wide eyes.

"I'm going to assume that the other wings are just as large... I'd be in heaven if I wasn't so worried..." Twilight sighs again.

"I'm sure either your friends back in Equestria will find a way here or we'll find a way to send you home. That doesn't mean that while looking, you can enjoy your time here while it lasts." Edward states as he progresses further into the library.

"You're not wrong, I suppose..." Twilight mumbles to herself before catching up with him.

After some time searching, the pair found a secluded spot at a table midway through the library and they began collecting books to look through.

"It astounds me as to how this world can have more books than the royal library and my old home combine, I even think it'd give Canterlot library a run for its money." Twilight states slowly flicking through a book on Galactic based magic and spatial energy theories.

Edward blinks a few times at Twilight's choice in reading before moving onto his own choice of rift magic theory and the manipulation of dark matter.

"Remind me why we collected such weird books?" Edward asks as whatever the book is talking about doesn't seem to stick.

"I summarise that looking at the weirdest magic that allows one to manipulate some form of trans-dimensional matter outside the regular list of earthly elements is the best possibility to potentially find a way home... That and it's fascinating~" Twilight squeals lightly as she continues reading.

"If you say so... This stuff is hurting my head..." Edward leans back in his chair to stare at the ceiling.

Etched onto the ground floor ceiling is a complete magically animated rendition of the night time constellations, which is oddly very soothing.

"I feel if I stop to accept the situation then it becomes more real than I want to believe. Would you be okay knowing that you're currently stuck in an unknown world, that has never seen your kind before and that you might not have a way back home?" Twilight asks, still reading.

"I suppose it'd be that way for a short while, but after some time I'd try to make the most of the situation." Edward states looking back at Twilight.

"You have more optimism than I do. However, everything I know and love is back in Equestria. My friends, my family, I'm a princess for buck sake... I have duties and obligations I need to get back to..." Twilight sighs as she places her wing in the book to mark her page.

"I'm confident we'll find you a way home, Twilight. Though... Saying that, if we did find you a way to go home, I was curious if I might come with you?" Edward asks closing his own book.

Twilight looks at Edward with an expression of confusion and curiosity.

"Are you sure about that? I mean, you also have friends and family here as well as your studies into the arcane." Twilight states as she continues reading.

"I wouldn't want to get stuck of course, but it's kinda the risk of adventure." Edward states in response.

"I guess I wouldn't be against you coming back with us if you really wanted to." Twilight blushes very lightly as she flicks a page.

"It'd be fun if nothing else." Edward slightly blushes as well before putting the overly complicated book on the pile in front of him.

Edward's pocket lightly vibrates as his phone goes off making him more than a little confused, but doesn't distract Twilight from her reading at all. Pulling his phone out of his pocket, Edward answers it.

"Hello?" Edward asks hesitantly.

"Hello Edward, I'm calling to see how you're doing. It's been a week or so since you last called home." A slightly Asian sounding male can be heard on the phone.

"Hey, dad. Yeah, it's been somewhat of a hectic week in some regards to studies and such." Edward states with a thin layer sugar.

Twilight's ear flicks a little at hearing Edward's conversation but keeps her focus on the book in front of her as she flicks through more pages.

"I can imagine, what with learning how to care for a familiar and all." Edward's father states casually.

"What..?" Edward asks sweating slightly.

"Ignis might have mentioned it a week ago, I wanted to see if you'd call in the meantime to let your own parents know that you finally summoned a familiar." The male states with sarcasm dripping in his voice.

"Umm... Yeah... I mean sorry... It was kinda sorta a surprising thing that happened randomly during an experiment..?" Edward states not believing himself either.

Edward looks at Twilight who looks back at him equally before shrugging and shaking her head, clearly not knowing what to do either.

"I see... Well, it'll likely please you to know that I might be planning a little trip to come and congratulate you on finally getting your magicians familiar." Edward's father states with an audible smile behind his voice.

"That's... That's great, yeah. I look forward to it dad." Edward swallows hard and his eyes are now wide.

"Good, well, I'll leave you to your studies and familiar. Bye for now." Edward's father states.

"Okay, bye dad." Edward hangs up and blinks several times.

"You umm feeling okay there?" Twilight finally speaks making the man in question squeal in terror.

"We're so boned..." Edward states sighing deeply as he lays his head on the table.

Edward's phone vibrates on the table making him groan and sigh deeply.

"Shall I answer it for you?" Twilight asks as Edward shakes his head.

"No, I got it, thank you." Edward looks at the caller id to see it's Alexander. "I don't think I got it..."

Taking a deep breath Edward answers it and puts the phone on speaker.

Author's Notes:

Cliffhanger outta nowhere! Sorry for that, but we felt it was a good place to end the chapter for what I have planned for the next one. Luckily though, this chapter was finished early and my momentum for this fic seems to be picking back up to regular speed with some motivation and prompting. Which means you guys won't have to wait long for the next chapter to be finished or miss it for too long.
