The Gaang sat in their Basingse home, finally relaxing after a year of fighting a war. Iroh and Suki were playing Pai Sho, Aang and Katara were sleeping, Sokka was making a meal out of half the groceries they had just bought, and Toph was earthbending outside. Aang was sleeping, Roku came into his dream. "Aang," Roku said. "Come to the spirit oasis in the Northern Water Tribe with your friends. It's very important!" Just as Roku came, he vanished and Aang woke up. He woke up his girlfriend and got everyone to come into the kitchen. When everybody was listening, he told them what Roku had said to him.
"Did he tell you why he needed us?" Suki asked.
"Well, no," Aang answered. "But he did say it was important. We have to go and see what's going on." Everyone agreed and immediately got to work on preparing for the trip. Katara and Suki prepared the food, Toph helped pack everyone's stuff, and the boys packed it all on Appa. They decided to leave Momo with Iroh so he wouldn't get too lonely. Soon they were ready to leave. They hopped on to Appa and set off for the North Pole.
"Ugh, how long is this trip?" Toph complained. "You know I get airsick."
"The Northern Water Tribe is far, Toph," Zuko said. "I think we might have to stop at the Northern Air Temple and rest. It's getting late and Appa has been flying nonstop."
"Yeah," Katara agreed. "I think that's a good idea. What do you think, sweetie?"
"I think it's a great idea." Aang replied. "Appa gets tired a lot easier with all these people. All in favour of stopping at the Northern Air Temple, say aye."
"Aye!" They all chimed simultaneously.
"Then I guess it's settled." Aang said and he tugged on the reins to pull Appa in the direction of the temple.
When the arrived at the Northern Air Temple, the Gaang got set up right away. Each of them chose their own rooms and who they were staying with. Sokka and Suki stayed in one room, Toph and Zuko stayed in another, and Katara and Aang stayed in a room together. After all their flying, everyone was tired and they went to bed. Aang, however, was the only one who couldn't go to sleep. "Katara?" Aangg whispered to his girlfriend. "Katara?" Katara eyes fluttered open as she awoke to Aang's whispering.
"Yes, Aang?" She asked. "What is it?"
"What do you think Roku wants with me that he couldn't have told me anywhere else?"
"I don't know Aang," Katara answered sleepily. "He probably just wants to congratulate you on defeating the fire lord, but he wanted yin and yang to be there too. You have nothing to worry about, just get some sleep."
"Yeah..." Aang's said. "You're probably right." But as Katara started to drift back into her slumber, Aang still couldn't help thinking that something was really wrong.

"Rise and shine everybody!" Aang's voice bellowed thought the temple. "Today's the day we leave for the Northern Water Tribe! We have to wash up, pack up, and board Appa!"
"Don't count on me washing up," Toph said as she stepped out of her bedroom. "I have my layer of earth to maintain." Sokka yawned as he walked out of his bedroom, Suki trailing right behind him.
"Is there any meat for breakfast?" He asked
"I think we have some sea slug in the saddle," Zuko said as he came out do the room he shared with Toph.
"Guys, we have to get moving!" Aang yelled at his friends. "Let's go!" Everyone scramble to get ready and piled onto Appa. "Northern Water Tribe, here we come. Yip, yip!" Aang snapped the reins and they set off on their journey once more.
When the Gaang arrived at Northern Water Tribe, Toph was reluctant to get out. "Wait, this is the North Pole right? Which means its covered in snow and ice, not earth, right?"
"Yeah," Suki said. "But I'll help you get across."
"Thanks Suki," Toph said sincerely as she climbed down from Appa. "Really appreciate it." Suki nodded and escorted her behind Aang and Katara towards the spirit oasis. On the way there, they had to dodge Avatar fan girls, making Katara very annoyed. After finally getting through the mob, the Gaang reached the spirit oasis.
"Geez Twinkletoes, everyone just loves you!" Toph joked. Katara glowered at her, even though she knew perfectly well that Toph could not see her. Aang noticed her reaction.
"Oh come on, Katara,"Aang said. "Do you really think any of those fan girls have anything over you?"
"No," Katara said. "Sorry, I was just a little jealous."
"Well don't be," Aang said as he gave his girlfriend a peck on the cheek.
"Eeww! Oogies!" Sokka groaned.
"Grow up, Sokka." Katara scolded.
"Um, guys?" Zuko said, getting everyone's attention. "Aren't we here for something important?"
"Oh yeah!" Aang remembered. "Okay, you guys just wait here while I see what Roku wants." Aang went to sit by the koi pond and began to meditate. He was soon transported into the spirit world.
"Aang, thank goodness you're here." Roku said as soon as Aang arrived. "There is a very urgent matter at hand."
"What is it? Aang asked.
"There is chaos taking place is another world, in another universe. In the world of Equestria, there is an alicorn named Dark Shadow who is threatening to kill all the earth ponies in the world, starting with the city of Ponyville. She has set up concentration camps and guards around the perimeter of the city so that anyone who tries to get out will be killed. Not even the six heroes of their universe can defeat Dark Shadow alone. They need your help, Aang. I am going to have to transform you and your friends into ponies and transport you to Equestria where you will meet the six ponies that will help you defeat Dark Shadow. I called you to this place specifically because I needed the strongest spiritual connection possible to be able to transport your entire being. This is a big task, as Dark Shadow is very powerful, so you will all need to work together."
"Wait a second," Aang said, trying to wrap his mind around what Roku had told him. "We're going to turn into ponies? To try to help other ponies defeat an alicorn? And what is an alicorn anyway? What's an earth pony? Is it a pony that can earthbend?"
"I know this is a lot to grasp," Roku explained. "But I will try to explain this to you the best that I can. An alicorn is a pony that has wings and a unicorn horn, meaning she can fly and perform magic. None of the ponies in Equestria can bend. Bending does not exist in their world. Dark Shadow is trying to kill all the ponies that cannot fly nor perform magic. She wants a world with only pegasi and unicorns. When you turn into ponies, you will become an alicorn like Dark Shadow, Waterbending Master Katara and Fire Lord Zuko will be unicorns, and Earthbending Master Toph, Kyoshi Warrior Suki, and Warrior Sokka will be earth ponies. You will have to be extra careful keeping them safe because they will be the types of ponies Dark Shadow's guards are on the lookout for. When you arrive, each of you will have marks on you flanks, showing who you are. Yours will be the air nomad symbol, Zuko's will be the fire nation symbol, Katara's will be the water tribe symbol, Toph's will be the Earth Kingdom symbol, Suki's will be three fans in a pyramid formation, and Sokka's will be two swords crossover each other diagonally with a boomerang in the middle. Now, go get your friends and I will transport you near the tree library where you'll meet the other ponies. I trust you to restore balance to their world, as you have done yours." Roku vanished and Aang returned to the real world. He explained to his friends everything Roku had told him.
"We're going to turn into ponies?!" Sokka screeched. "That is SO not manly!"
"Shut up Snoozles," Toph said. "This is no time to worry about your manliness."
"Come on guys!" Aang beckoned as he sat by the koi fish pond. "Roku's waiting!" The rest of the Gaang sat down by the koi pond together while Aang went back into the spirit world. Soon Roku came and transported them all to Equestria.
