Celestia and Mr. Grandruler start to wake up. “Morning, darling.” Celestia said.
“Morning, Celesto. Um… honey, where are we?” The Grandrulers’ looked around and saw that they weren’t in their bedroom or Mystic Island for that matter. They can see that they were in a small village with some of the building looks smaller than others. They also see herself in a garden full of flowers and they smell nice too.
“Woah, I don’t think we’re in Mystic Island anymore, darling.” Celesto said as he got to his feet. "How did we get here?"
"I have no idea." Celestia said, "But how do we get back?" Just then, they both start to hear some laughing and giggle from one of the bushes. Celestia turns to one of the bushes and questionably says, "Hello?"
But no one answers. Then they both start to hear giggling from the other side of her Just then, three girls who looks like the Cutie Mark Crusaders peek their head out of the bush to see them. The two are shocked to see the CMC here, but notice they look a little different. For example the girl who looks like Apple Bloom has flower apple blossoms in her hair , and wearing a magenta bandanna on her head. The girl looks like Sweetie Belle has her hair in a bun and wearing a little apron. The last girls’ mane is a little longer than Scootaloo only she has a skateboard.
"Hello, welcome to our village," The girl with the bandanna says.
"And we're…" The girl with the hair bun adds.
"The Cutie Mark Crusaders!" All the girls screams together.
Mr. Grandruler and Celestia cover their ears during the scream and can see that even though they might not be their friends sisters, they sure act like them.
"I'm Apple Blossom," The Girl with the bandanna says.
"I'm Sweetie Bun," The girl with her hair in a bun replies..
"And I'm Scootalee," The girl with the skateboard says.
"Hello... my name is Celestia and this is my husband, Celesto."
"Celestia and Celesto, huh," Scootalee replies curiously.
"Those are nice names," Sweetie Bun replies with a smile.
"Thank you."
"Would you like to meet the villagers?" Scootalea asked. Celestia and Celesto aren’t sure about meeting the other citizens of the town, but it's nice to see if anyone can help her with her situation. "Um… sure I don't see why not." Celesto answered.
"Alright then," Scootalee replies with a smile.
Just then, Sweetie bun comes up to the microphone that is used to make important announcement in the middle of the town. Sweetie Bun screams to the microphone, "Villagers! Time to come out and meet our guest!"
With that, all of the villagers come out of their houses to see Twilight. Twilight is surprised to see that all of the citizens of the Village resemble the girls and boys of Mystic Island. Everyone starts to gather towards the couple and start to cheer for them.
"Woah! You sure are friendly," Celestia replies with a smile.
"Well yeah. You technically saved us," The girl who looks like Diamond tiara says,
"The Wicked Wizards of the East was going to takeover our village," the girl who looks like Silver Spoon replies sounding a bit scared.
“Wicked Wizards?” Celesto asked.
“Yeah, King Vulcan and Prince Nacluv.”
Celestia and Celesto are shocked to hear that the witches were two past enemies of their friends. "But thanks to you both they’re unconscious," The boy who looks like Snip replies happily.
"Really!" Celestia says sounding surprised.
"Yes," Scootalee replies.
"That's them over there," Apple Blossom replies pointing her finger to where the witch is.
"Yeah. They were about to use their powers on us until you two landed on them" Sweetie explains,
"And then we moved you two off of them and put you on our flow therapy garden to help you," The girl who looks like Dinky replies happily.
Celestia and Celesto looked and saw that the two wizards were different than the Vulcan and Nacluv they’ve encountered. For one, they’re both wearing crowns on their heads and they each have a scepter with a black crystal gem on top.The couple also feels bad for knocking them out cold when them landed on them.
"Oh my, We didn’t mean to knock them out." Celestia says sadly.
"Hey! Don't apologize they’re mean and nasty... and rotten!" Scootalee says sounding a bit upset.
"But seems nice to show some kindness towards them," Sweetie ban replies.
The couple are still surprised about the locations they’re at, but the question she is developing right now "But… where are we?"
"You're in the Land of Oz," A calm yet family voice calls.
All the citizens of the village are happy to hear the calm voice, but Twilight is confused and shocked because that voice is someone she's familiar with. Then a magical alicorn appears. Celestia and Celesto are shocked to see it was Celestia, dimensional counterpart, Queen Celestia. She is wearing a nice white dress and her crown looks more like a tiara.
Awkward.
Celesto surprisingly asks,"Who are you?"
The white alicorn mare comes over to them with a calm smile on her face and says, "My name is Celeste the Good Witch of the North and the Sun. I want to thank you both for help this village and it's citizens."
The two of them nervously smile, "Sure. We’re glad I can help." Celesto said.
The two of them then notice a strange green glow. When they look to where the glow is coming from, they see two black chokers with a green peridot gem shaped like a star.
"What's this?" Celesto asked.
"Hurry and put them on!" Sweetie Bun informs them.
"Yeah! Those chokers are full of magic," Scootalee ads.
Celestia and Celesto do what the girl tells them and they put the chokers on their necks. "Thanks."
Just then the two wizards finally wakes up and they feel angry and banged up after the couple fell on them
The King angrily says,"When I get my hands on the ones that hit me on the head I'll…"
Just as he touches his chest he notice that something is missing from his neck as well as the Princes’.
“Our chokers!"
The two wizards then notice that Celesto and Celestia are wearing their chokers. The couple hugged each other, nervously as they start to get scared to see the two wizards, staring at them with a mean face.
The two wizards say, "You! Give me that choker!" They both try to take the choker by simply yanking it from their necks, but the choker shocks him as a result."Ow!"
Just then Celeste use her wing to put the couple under it and pull them close to her. Then some of the villagers are standing in front of them and are trying to protect them.
Celeste angrily says, "Leave them be Vulcan and Nacluv!"
Vulcan and Nacluv can see that they aren’t going to get the Granderulers’ that easily, but they are not going to give up on the chokers that easily too. They decide to give a change and leave before Celeste use her magic on them.
Vulcan and Nacluv angrily says, "Fine.. but you will regret. We want our chokers, The two then fly up to the and light up their scepters. “Remember what we said.” Then they used their scepter to make themselves disappear, mostly likely back to their castle. Celeste looks at the two of them "Don't mind them. You're safe as long as you wear the choker."
“Do you know how to get to Mystic Island from here?" Celestia asked.
"I'm sorry my dear there is no Mystic Island that you speak of here," Celeste sadly answers.
"Oh," Celestia replies sadly to Celeste's answer.
"But I think I know someone who can."
"Who?"
"The Wizard of Oz in the Crystal City. He may know a way to help you," Celeste answers calmly.
"Do you think he can really help us?” Celesto asked.
"He might know something that will help," Celeste answers calmly.
"Thank you, but how do I get there?"
Apple Blossom comes up to them and says, "Easy, follow the yellow dirt road."
"Follow the yellow dirt road," Sweetie Bun replies happily.
"Follow the yellow dirt road," Scootalee says. They all get to where they see a dirt road that is the color yellow. The two of them can tell that the yellow dirt road is very long, but it's her only chance to get back home. “Thank you all.” Celestia says, happily.
"It's no trouble at all," Celeste calmly replies.
"Come on darling.” Celesto says as he holds his wifes’ hand and they both start to walk down the road to the Crystal City.
Just then, Celeste says, "Oh and one more thing."
"What is it?" Celesto asked.
Celeste comes up to them and lean over to the couple and gives them both a kiss on the forehead their foreheads. The couple were kind of confused of what Celeste done but they can see that the kids are happy to see what Celeste has done so they decide to leave it be. Celeste explains, "The mark that given from my kiss will make sure you are protected on your journey."
The Grandrulers’ understand that Celeste wants to make sure they're protected on her journey. "Thank you Celeste," Celesto says.
"You're welcome," Celeste calmly replies.
"Thank you all for your help.”
"No problem. Good luck on your journey," The villagers says cheerfully.
The couple smiles happily to see they are wishing them luck on their journey. They both started to walk down the yellow dirt road. Before they left the city they turn around and happily says, "Goodbye everyone."
Everyone in the village wave to them and saying goodbye, wishing them luck to follow the path to see the wizard. The two are glad to find a way to get back to her own friends and family.
"Goodbye, hope your journey goes well" Celeste says as she magically make herself disappear from thin air.
The couple continue to walk down the yellow dirt road. They aren't sure how long it will take them to get to Crystal City, but they know it will be a long journey. The two of them soon come across a forest with lots of apples in the trees. “Wow, that’s a lot of apples.” Celesto says.
“Yeah.” Celestia’s stomach growls. “Hehe, guess it wouldn’t hurt to eat something.” Walking for a couple hours straight can make you pretty hungry.
Celesto agreed, feeling a bit peckish himself. “Alright, dear.” The two walk up to one tree and Celestia grabs two of the apples and the two of them eat. “These apples are amazing.” Celestia says.
"Yep. The best ones in all of Oz," A female country voices comes out of nowhere, surprising the two.
“Who said that?” Celesto asks as the pair look around for the source of the voice.
“We’re over here.” another familiar voice comes. The two of them looked at a tree branch and saw two scarecrows that looked very familiar. “Applejack? Buddy Rose?”
“Whose Applejack and Buddy Rose?” the scarecrow that resembles Applejack asks. “We’re Apple Crow and Buddy Crow.”
The two of them leaped down from the tree branch, “So where are you two heading?” Buddy Crow asks.
“We’re going to Crystal City to see the wizard, hoping he can get us back to Mystic Island.” Celestia explains.
"The Crystal City huh. You'll love it. It has to be one of the largest places in Oz," Apple Crow replies.
“We’ve never seen it before, but we hope the wizard can help us.” Celesto adds.
"Sounds like you two have a long journey ahead of you," Apple Crow says.
“Yes.” Celestia confirms.
“Hey, do you mind if we tag along with you?” Buddy Crow asks.
“Sure we don’t mind. Do you want to ask the wizard something?” Celestia asks
“Yes we do. We’re not the brightest scarecrow you ever see, but we’re hoping the wizard can give us a brain so we can be smart.” The couple looked at each other and shrugged, “Guess it’s important to you both.” Celesto says.
“Yeah.” Apple Crow adds.
"Well, the only way for us to know is to go and see the wizard and see what he can do for us," Celesto says pointing to the yellow path.
"Sounds like a plan," Apple Crow says, agreeing with Celesto. Suddenly, Buddy Crow and Apple Crow notice something that is making them very scared. Celestia and Celesto notice this and are curious about what they are scared of. The two around to see something that makes them very worried.
Celestia whimpers, "But first… we need to run and hide."
With that, Celestia, Celesto, Buddy Crow and Apple Crow ran down the road hoping to find a place to hide. Apple Crow notices a small cave down the path.
Apple Crow seriously says, “Come on, we can hide in that cave.”
With that, Apple Crow starts to make her way into the cave with Celesto, Celestia and Buddy Crow right behind her. While hiding in the have, they peek out to see who they are hiding from. That's when they see King Vulcan and Prince Nacluv in the Apple Forest with their minions that all resembled incest pony or changelings as thy are called and from the looks of it they appear to be looking for someone or something.
The couple has a bad feeling the two are looking to get their chokers back, but they promised not to take them off and they will protect them. After the search, the King, Prince and their minions flew off, letting the others to come out of the cave. “Phew, that was close.” Buddy Crow said.
“Yeah… a little too close.” Celestia adds, nervously. She and her husband look at the choker and can tell the two really want them back, but they know they can't give them to the King and Prince, with the chokers’ they’ll be very powerful.
Apple Crow notices the couple staring at the chokers, “Those are some nice necklaces, you both have there. Where’d you get them?”
The Grandrulers’ started to get a little scared when Apple Crow ask about the choker, but she has to tell her, but maybe not all of the details. Celesto answers nervously, “We… got them at the village.” Apple Crow can tell they were telling the truth but she senses there is more to the story.
"There more to it, is there?"
“Huh?” The couple exclaimed in shock.
“I may not be the smartest scarecrow but I can tell when someone is being honest or not. In your case you're a little afraid to give me the whole story," Apple Crow explains calmly to the couple.
The Grandrulers’ can tell Apple Crow is a lot like Applejack, she never tells a lie can tell when someone is lying. They know had to explain to Apple Crow and Buddy Crow about the situation and the chokers. "These chokers belong to Vulcan and Nacluv. The Villagers and Celeste the good witch said we would be safe as long as we wear them. The good witch also put a spell on us, I guess, when she kissed our foreheads to help protect us."
"She did!" Apple Crow and Buddy Crow surprisingly says.
“Yes.” Celestia answers sadly.
Then Apple Crow asks, "And you believe that the witch is after you get the choker back?"
Celeste and Celestia nodded. The two scarecrows are shocked to hear it, but right now, they know Celestia and Celesto are going to need more help. "Don't worry, I'll help you get to the wizard and get you back home," Buddy Crow said.
“Really?” Celestia asks.
"Yep," Apple Crow answers with a smile. They all smile at each other knowing that things are better now.
Then come on Buddy Crow and Apple Crow. It's time to continue walking down the yellow dirt road." Celestia says
"And see the Wizard of Oz," Apple Crow adds.
With that, the four friends continue to walk down the road to find the Crystal City. They still have a long journey ahead, but Celestia and Celesto are glad they won't be traveling alone. They hope the wizard can help them get back home and help Apple Crow have a brain. They continue to down the yellow dirt road and hoping to find a place where they need to spend the night very soon.
