"I'm home," Tempest gasped as she and her companions followed Dr. Strange through the portal and stepped back into Equestria, standing right in front of Twilight's castle. "This…this is Twilight's castle. Why did you bring me here?"

"Because she needs you, Tempest," answered Dr. Strange, much to her shock. "It doesn't matter what others think. She gave you a second chance at friendship and now, you must repay her before the battle ahead."

Taking a nervous gulp, Tempest walked up the steps to Twilight's castle and knocked on the door three times.

"I think she's about to lose it," whispered Grubber to Hannibal.

"Pony nervous?" asked the dimwitted Storm Creature.

Just then, the door opened and rather than Twilight herself, it was Starlight Glimmer who answered the door. The former student of Twilight couldn't believe what she was seeing in front of her.

"Tempest?" she said with a shocked expression on her face. "What are you doing here?"

"I've…I've…"

"Who is that guy?" she asked, looking over Tempest's shoulder towards Dr. Strange. "You look like Sunset Shimmer."

But Dr. Strange said nothing, walking towards Starlight.

"Starlight Glimmer," he remarked. "I'm Dr. Stephen Strange, master of the mystical arts and a member of the Avengers. I've brought Tempest back and told her that she must accept…well, she'll tell you herself."

"I've come to accept Twilight's offer that I be her Captain of the Royal Guard," Tempest finally said, much to Starlight's shock.

"Um, Twilight's actually not here right now," stammered Starlight. "But, if you want to come in and wait…"

Without hesitation, Dr. Strange and the others teleported into Twilight's castle and together they would all wait for the Princess of Friendship to return.

"Now, feel free to make yourselves comfortable," said Starlight as she led them into Twilight's throne room where the friendship map was. "I'm running Twilight's school right now, but I'll return later."

Once Starlight left, all of them sat in the throne room to wait for Twilight to return.

"Anybody want anything?" asked Grubber. "I'm quite a cook."

"No thanks, hedgehog," answered Dr. Strange, taking a look at the map of Equestria. "This must be the Friendship Map where it sends you on friendship missions, yes?"

"Dr. Strange, how are you so all knowing?" wondered Tempest. "If you don't mind my asking."

But, the magic doctor didn't answer for he was entirely focused on the friendship map. Eventually, he did.

"One of the benefits of being a wizard, I guess," he said, turning his attention away from the Friendship Map. "I have the power to see into the future, Tempest and know the lives of every creature that lives on Earth."

"Did you happen to witness me conquer Canterlot?"

"Yes."

Tempest felt a sudden surge of guilt build up inside of her, but Neighsay was quick to sympathize.

"He saw my future too as well, Tempest," he said, placing a hoof under her chin. "So, I know the feeling."

"But, that doesn't matter right now," said Dr. Strange. "What matters is that you are instated as Captain of the Royal Guard as quickly as possible."

"But…are you sure about that? I still have to finish my training with Twilight's brother in the Crystal Empire."

"Ah yes," remarked Dr. Strange, nodding his head lightly. "The one who struck you because you turned his wife to stone."

Tempest suddenly began to think back to that moment when Shining Armor struck her out of anger because she turned Princess Cadence to stone.

"That I did deserve, to be honest."

"And I am sure you deserved a lot for your actions, but there really is no use for you to be punished further than you already have."

…

Just then, the sounds of hoofbeats were heard and the door to Twilight's throne room opened and Tempest sharply gasped as she and Twilight looked one another.

"Tempest…" gasped Twilight, her mouth dropped wide open. "You…you've come back."

The flabbergasted Princess of Friendship ran over to Tempest and the two mares immediately went into an embrace while Dr. Strange and the others looked on.

"Twilight," cried Tempest. "I had to come back, please understand."

"I know you did," replied Twilight. "It was only a matter of time."

Breaking apart from their embrace, Twilight then turned her attention to Dr, Strange.

"Princess Twilight," he said. "I'm Dr. Stephen Strange of the Avengers. I'm the one who convinced Tempest to return."

"Well, thank you for bringing her back to Equestria then. But, I think I know why you have come back, Tempest."

Tempest gulped nervously and realized that there was no use hiding from the truth.

"Twilight," she sighed. "I've come back to accept your position as Captain of the Royal Guard."

Upon hearing those words, Twilight felt a small tear trickle down the side of her face. She had been longing for this day to happen for a long time and now it was finally happening. Tempest Shadow, her former enemy, had come home to take the position that Twilight had been hoping for her to take for the longest time.

"Um, where are the rest of your friends?" Tempest asked and no sooner did she say those words did the rest of Twilight's friends enter the throne room. Some of them were at a loss for words upon what they saw before their eyes.

"Tempest?" asked Pinkie excitedly bouncing up and down. "You're back?"

"Guess so," remarked Applejack. "And so has your friends."

"Um, hi?" said Grubber nervously waving his paw. "Sorry for the sudden return."

"That's not a problem," said Twilight, interrupting the hedgehog. "Either way, it's good to have you back, Tempest."

Then, Twilight realized something of the utmost importance.

"But, doesn't Razzle Fizzle know that you've returned?"

"Who's Razzle Fizzle?" wondered Dr. Strange.

"Razzle Fizzle is my sister and somepony that I wound up hurting the most because of my actions," answered Tempest, looking back at Dr. Strange. "It…it would be nice to at least check in with her again along with the rest of my friends."

"The friends who abandoned you, Tempest?"

Tempest silently nodded and realized that she needed to pay her sister and her friends a hopefully less tense visitation.

…

Meanwhile, in a high school in Queens, NY, a young 15 year old teenage boy named Peter Parker sat outside the principal's office while several people were inside the principal's office talking about him. A few moments later, the door opened and out stepped Tony and a woman in her late 40s followed by the principal himself followed.

"Aunt May?" asked the boy, rising to his feet. "What's going on?"

"Mr. Stark has told me everything, Pete," answered the principal. "It appears that this will be your last day in this school, at least for the time being."

"I need you to help me get our new Stark offices running smoothly, kid," said Tony, placing a hand on Peter's shoulder. "I told where it's being built, right?"

"Equestria?"

"Bingo!"

"But, how? Isn't Equestria a fictional land from My Little Pony?"

"Fictional to some, yes, but to us, it's real. Of course, that doesn't mean you won't be getting away from your education."

Of course, Peter wasn't thrilled that this new position meant he was going to stop going to school entirely.

"I'm enrolling you for a short period of time at Princess Twilight Sparkle's school of friendship," continued Tony. "You'll go there for the day and then report to Stark's Equestrian offices in Canterlot afterwards."

"Think of this as a new opportunity for us, Peter," added Aunt May. "Besides, we need to have a clear state of mind after everything that has happened with that purple dude."

"You mean, Thanos?" remarked Tony.

"Whatever."

"But…I'm just going to be one person among ponies, Mr. Stark," stammered Peter. "Are you sure about this?"

"I can assure you, Peter, that you won't be the only human at the school of friendship."

Just then, they saw Julia Carpenter walking into the office with her teenage daughter at her side.

"Rachel?" wondered Pete, walking over to her. "You're…you're coming too?"

Rachel said nothing, but Peter could tell she was excited to go, yet she was also a little nervous. But, little did either of them know that more than just normal feelings were developing between both him and her.

"Then, it's agreed," said Tony. "We're heading off to Equestria."
