“I’m back.” Taylor shouts as she walks into Twilight’s castle.

 

“Hey! Taylor, welcome back.” Twilight says writing in a book.

 

“Watcha doing?” Taylor asks,

 

“Writing to Sunset. She invited us to watch them perform.” Twilight says, 

 

“Who? Where?” Taylor asks confused, 

 

“I have a friend named Sunset and she lives in another world. Her band the Rainbooms are playing at their first big concert and they invited us to watch.” Twilight says, 

 

“Sounds like fun. When are we going?” Taylor asks,

 

“First thing in the morning.” Twilight says,

 

====================

Meanwhile at the Hudson River. The museum ship the USS Intrepid is surrounded by modern destroyers protecting the ship from an unseen enemy.

 

“Sir, who are the Rainbooms? I mean wouldn’t it be better to get a better band to play? I mean we got Sabaton who summoned the Bismarck and Prinz Eugen. We’ve also got Neil Diamond and the United States Navy band.”

 

“Well, I owed their principal a favor. At this point we are kinda just throwing everything we got and trying to see what sticks. I mean Britain and Japan have managed to summon a lot of their ship girls. However their apparent rituals include the fact that their country needs them back to help. However the United States doesn’t really need anything, sure we are hurting after the death of ocean trade however we are off significantly better than most other countries.” 

 

“Okay then…”

 

====================

Back in Twilight’s castle 2 hours before sunrise.

 

“Taylor, wake up.” 

 

“5 more minutes…” Taylor mutters. 

 

“Nope we need to go.” 

 

“Fine.” Taylor says getting up slowly, blinking her large eyes.

 

“Come on Taylor, we need to go, the mirror is in the basement.” Twilight says, 

 

==============

Sunset is standing at Canterlot with the Rainbooms. When the mirror In front of them begins to liquify as Twilight pops out. Not a second later a girl who appears to be 7 with platinum blond hair with black highlights tumbled out as well.

 

‘I’m human again… this looks like a high school. Got it, pretend to not know what I am. I should probably stumble around for a bit too. If I’m not careful Twilight might figure out my past… I.’ Taylor thinks 

“Twilight, you look older?” Sunset says in shock.

 

“Huh? I guess so? Taylor, you doing okay?” Twilight asks, looking at the girl who is crawling on all fours.

 

“Yes?” Taylor responds. 

“Why are you so tall? ” Taylor ask,

 

“We are humans. I probably should’ve mentioned that. In this form you are bipedal and walk on two legs.

 

Taylor slowly stands up shakily trying to keep her balance. Though that doesn’t stop the Rainbooms from giggling a little. An apparent 12 year old taking their first steps.

 

“Mom, can I go home?” Taylor asks definitely not pouting.

 

“I look like her little sister…” SciTwi says looking at the other Twilight. 

 

“Since we are all here, let's get into the van, we gotta hit the highway. Don’t wanna be late.” Rainbow Dash says, 

 

“Who are you? And what have you done with Rainbow Dash?” Taylor asks,

 

“The Blue Angels are performing. I'm not gonna be late.” Dash says, 

 

“The Blue Angels… wait a minute.” Twilight says, looking at Taylor.

 

“The Blue Angels are like the Wonderbolts.” Sunset says, 

 

“Nope I would compare them to the Thunderbirds, though that would be insulting to the Chair Force.” Taylor says, 

 

‘Crap, stupid child body and impulses.’ Taylor thinks, 

 

“Pfft Chair Force, that's a good one.” Rainbow Dash says,

 

Everyone suddenly realizes Taylor made a niche joke about Earth. 

 

“Taylor, is this your home?” Twilight asks, 

 

“No… Equis is my home.” Taylor says looking at Twilight.

‘Is my home now, Earth bet was destroyed. I lost everything.’ 

 

“I’m whatever this is here. You saw the videos everypony was ponies.” Taylor says.

 

Unseen to everyone else, Applejack squints at Taylor before nodding to herself.

 

“That’s true. I wonder if Equestria's prehistory is similar to the more recent history here?” Twilight asks aloud excitedly.

 

“Maybe magic is a by-product of the nuclear apocalypse.” Taylor says blandly.

 

“Girls, we can talk in the van. I’ll need to put on Eurobeat if we’re gonna make it to the show in time.” Dash says, looking at her watch.

 

=================

Back at Canterlot castle.

“Luna are you okay?” Celestia asks,

 

“Y-yes sister, why wouldn’t I be okay?” Luna asks,

 

“I heard something about you burning important government paperwork.” Celestia says, 

 

“Ah yes… they had spontaneously combusted. I am working on amending that my sister, so do not worry.” Luna says, 

 

“Right… Did your student teach you that word?” Celestia asks,

 

“No, I just think thous sun may have been too bright.” Luna says,

 

“The incident happened at night.” Celestia, 

 

Luna nods like nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

 

“You realize your student is the reason several of these bills are being passed right? I mean there’s even an interesting write up to do away with nobility.” Celestia says, 

 

“I shall speak to her tonight. I hath not known I was assigned homework. So I shall assign some to her.” Luna said. 

 

“You will have to wait till she gets back then.” Celestia says, 

 

“What? I can reach her anywhere In Equestria.”  Luna states confused. 

 

“Yeah, Twilight took her to another world.” Celestia says with her usual smirk at Luna’s reaction.
