Hey Kaytori here, me and Siriusfan13 set up this account for a joint project that we are still working on. In the meantime enjoy the shear nonsense. Siriusfan13 came up with the diologue I handled the description. The idea was a bit of both.

Balthazar sat reading the paper in the lab sipping tea, while Dave practised magic in the main area. It had been a quiet day and he was enjoying the relaxed atmosphere.

"Balthazar!" shouted Dave as he burst into the room.

"What?" asked the master sorcerer calmly, not looking up from his paper despite the near panicked tone of voice. The wards hadn't been set off and the tone wasn't fearful so much as freaked out, which was perfectly normal.

"I opened a portal."

"Thrilling," replied Balthazar it actually was, normally it took years of study but Balthazar wasn't going to tell Dave that, the kid might get a swelled head and then Balthazar would have to blast the boy with plasma. Which while enjoyable would involve getting up from his chair.

"Craziest thing ever. There was this horse with wings—"

"It's called a pegasus."

"Whatever. There was a blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane and a cloud with rainbow lightning painted on it's butt. And there was a pink pony with balloons painted on her butt."

"Mmm-hmmm..." replied Balthazar flipping the page of his paper.

" I'm serious! They talked to me. Said something about Ponyville. I've never seen so much pink and rainbows."

"That's fascinating."

"You don't believe me."

Balthazar sighed. "Of course I do. That's exactly why I told you not to mess with portals. Just be grateful you didn't go to the world with the rainbow bears that shot hearts from their tummies. I had nightmares for weeks about being hugged to death. And it took forever to get all of the pink and turquoise hair off of my clothes. Those things shed like mad."

Dave blinked, "Hearts from their tummies?" The apprentice wasn't sure he had heard right talking ponies and pega—whatevers where one thing but that just sounded ridiculous.

Balthazar finally glanced up and grinned before answering "Was kind of worth it though. The next few times Jacobus tried to poke into my head, I made it a point to shoot him that image. Must have been pretty disturbing. He left me alone for a good decade after that."

Dave continued to stare and blink.

"Now go take a shower. You smell like manure."

Dave decided to just let the conversation end and turned to leave.

"And no more portals!" shouted Balthazar at his apprentice's retreating back. "I mean it! You wind up on a planet at war with a bunch of cat people I'm not bailing you out!"
