Canterlot Castle, Royal Office

“So, you are a fan of a show that has us as some of many characters?” Gabriella nodded. “You dressed up briefly as your favorite character from a movie?” She nodded again. “And you aren't sure how you arrived in Equestria, but you have a hunch that this Anonymity Inc. had something to do with it?” She nodded. Celestia sighed and looked over to a confused Flash and Tempest. “Well, if this world lacked magic, I would have considered you insane and placed in an insane asylum...if we even had one. But, all things considered, your story had too many details for it to be made up.”

“I barely understood half of that,” Flash muttered.

“I claim the other half,” Tempest agreed.

“I guess, all that's left to be done is the general stuff for living here for the rest of my life,” Gabriella giggled with a slight dance.

Celestia regarded her in slight confusion. “You don't wish to go home?”

“Well, my life back on Earth was a combination of boring and somewhat unfulfilling,” she explained. “While I'm sure life here will have it's boring and somewhat unfulfilling parts, but the silver lining that makes here better than there: I'm Gazelle and I'm in Equestria!” Gabriella squealed. “If I wasn't a girl, I'd be fanboying! I guess I'll have to stick with fangirling!”

“Yes, well,” Celestia started, a bit surprised at the gazelle’s enthusiasm. “We can get the main paperwork out of the way, get you a doctor's appointment scheduled, waive the test and the background check, then you'll effectively be an Equestrian Citizen." She pulled out a clipboard and ballpoint quill and handed them to Gabriella.

“Expedited Citizenship,” she said as she accepted the clipboard and pen. “This day can only get better if I had blueberry gum.”

“Why that flavor specifically?” Tempest asked.

“Well, it involves another movie, a specific scene to be exact, but I won't go into detail until I get settled into a house and a job,” she explained as she filled the paperwork. “Too much to explain as of right now, and I'm sure we don't have all day to work on my naturalization process.”

Gabriella handed the filled out forms back to Celestia, who smiled. “As no-nonsense as you are excitable,” she commented. “The paperwork will go through and you'll have your Citizen ID tomorrow. I'll even see about having the Castle Infirmary do the required medical check tomorrow before you get your card.”

“Sounds reasonable. Anything else that needs to be covered today?” Gabriella asked. Before Celestia could form an answer, a scroll materialized in front of her. She quickly opened and read it before placing it on her desk.

“The only thing that needs to be covered is you being introduced to my sister, nephew, as well as the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony,” she said, as she conjured a scroll and then burnt it in green fire.

“Sounds exciting,” Gabriella squealed lightly. “I just hope that Luna doesn't decide to speak caps lock, and that Blueblood behaves himself...oh, and before I forget, are they allowed to know of...you know?”

“That is up for you to decide, my little gazelle,” Celestia said as she stood up. “Only you can decide who's trustworthy and who isn't.”

Canterlot Castle, Throne Room

The foursome arrived in the throne room only to see a rather interesting scene. Princess Luna and Prince Blueblood were dancing to a record player playing waltz music. Their entrance went unnoticed as they danced, practically seeming like a “Beauty and the Beast” kind of thing, according to Gabriella. The song on the record ended as Blueblood dipped Luna. It was then that Blueblood took notice of the group.

With a panicked face, he dropped Luna, bringing out a scowl from her. She then looked where he was looking, and then noticed the group. Developing a slight panicked face as well, she stood up and looked ready to pee herself in said panic. Thankfully for her, Blueblood decided to speak.

“I’m not sure what you were thinking, but whatever you were thinking, we weren’t doing it,” he explained. “I was practicing my dancing for when the Gala comes around.”

“Why practice with Luna?” Celestia asked. “I’m sure one of the maids could have helped you.”

“I...well...Oh!” He quickly pointed at Gabriella. “Is she the gazelle visitor I was informed briefly a while ago?”

“One and the same,” she said. “Gabriella Gazelle, a pleasure to meet you, surprisingly. Most who know of you depict you as an insufferable plothole.”

“Uh...What?” Blueblood asked in confusion. Gazelle told him a shortened version of the story she told Celestia. After a few minutes, he shook his head and said, “Well, at least I learned from my Gala experience.”

“To everypony’s relief,” Luna muttered, getting a nod of agreement from Flash and an eyeroll from Tempest.

“All the same, nice to meet you,” Gabriella said. “Now, when will Twilight and her friends be here?”

“Judging from how much of a prankster Celestia is,” Tempest stated. “I’m guessing she had the message purposefully delayed so that Twilight panics and arrives in three…two...one.” A flash of magic briefly blinded the group. When everyone’s sight cleared, Twilight and her friends were in the room, the former groveling and begging for forgiveness, while the later were coughing, fighting dizziness, and in one case, trying to hold in vomit.

Suddenly, before everypony could immediately notice, Gabriella rushed up to Twilight Sparkle and slapped her across the muzzle...then followed up with a hug. As Twilight sputtered in confusion, Gazelle spoke. “Calm down. Calm down. If you're thinking that you'll get banished, locked up, or locked up where you'd be banished for whatever reason...just stop. You know Celestia wouldn't do that, so just stop.”

Twilight calmed down, allowing Gabriella to let go and back away. After some silence, the young drake of the group asked the unspoken question that Twilight and the other six mares were wanting to ask. “So, what's the big emergency?”

“There is no emergency, Spike,” Celestia said. “I just wanted you to come meet Gabriella Gazelle here.”

“Then if you want them here, don't use a generic scroll of emergency or whatever,” Gabriella muttered loudly. “I'm sure the seven passengers of Twilight's hastily cast teleport were grateful to be part of a big, fat prank.”

With a gasp, Twilight slapped a hoof over her mouth. “Please don't take offence at what she said, Princess Celestia!” Gabriella pulled the hoof off of her mouth.

“TWILIGHT SPARKLE!!!” She shouted at her, causing Twilight to back up. “For Darwin's Finches on the Galapagos! Grow a backbone, realise your status, and then actually point out problems you may notice!”

A cyan, rainbow maned pegasus suddenly flew up into the gazelle’s muzzle. “Hey! Don't talk to my friend like that!”

“Just calling it how I see it, Skittles.” Gabriella then dropped her scowl, grasped Rainbow's hoof and began to shake it. “By the way, it's nice to finally meet one of the most awesome ponies in existence!” She then rapidfired out the explanation that has gone without proper words!

“Uh, did anypony understand a lick of what she just said?” Applejack asked, after the explanation. “Because all I got was that she's telling the truth.”

“I don't think you're the only one,” Rarity said, getting nods from the drake and mares...except...

“Oh my gosh! Actual Extra-Equestrian life!” Twilight squealed as she conjured a pad and pen. “What's your world like!? What's your culture like!? What's your government like!? WHAT YOUR-" Gazelle's hoof found it's way into Twilight's mouth.

“Woah there! Slow down, give individuals the ability to answer before asking more. And I should say that today has been a long day, so let's save the questions until tomorrow after my medical, okay?” Twilight nodded, and Gabriella removed the hoof. She then got a thoughtful look. “Quick question. What was the message you sent to Celestia about?”

“I'm actually curious as well,” Celestia added. “What is this unnamed artifact that you found?”

“Oh!” Twilight uttered as she rifled through her pockets, seemingly pulling out random books and writing supplies that normally wouldn't have fit. “It's this,” she said proudly while holding a chain with a military dog tag on it.

“I'm lost,” Luna said in confusion. “What makes this special enough for you to show that?”

“Well, for one thing, it has extremely advanced teleportation magic affixed to it,” Twilight explained. “And second, when I picked it up, a voice said, “If you need aid or just someone to chat with then I, Laguna shall come and lend you my strength and ear. Just focus and hold this close to your heart.” She paused for effect. “And that's about it.”

“Interesting,” Tempest commented. “Did you try doing what the voice said to do?”

“Well...no…” she admitted. “But hey, I can always try.” Twilight closed her eyes and held the dog tag close to her heart.

A blue vortex then opened and a human male with black hair walked out followed by look alikes of Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Pinkie Pie’s sister, Maud. “So your the one that found my token.” The man said looking at Twilight.

“I...umm...I,” Twilight stuttered before fainting.

“That was weird beyond weird,” Gabriella said, getting the man's attention. “Also, token? Is my life part of an arcade now, or am I missing something?”

“It’s complicated, it used to summon others from different Equestrias. Well, that's what Zidane said anyway.” The man said putting a hand to his chin.

“And this applies to us...how?” Gabriella asked.

“Well you see from what I got….” The man started to explain.
