Chapter three

Moochick was happily gardening away in his home as he was joyfully singing out of tune. He was contemplating the information he as received from the sea ponies. The sea ponies along with a few well placed mouse spies have told him about Tireks plan. This deeply disturbed Moochick as he water his Tome of water lilies with glee. He skipped to his wonderful hovel which was a large hut with hay and sticks for roofing and baked mud for walls he loved living with nature. He sat down on a stone carved chair and pull out some paper to write down what he could remember so he wouldn't forget.

The mouse said "Tirek had captured many innocent creatures so he could perform a ritual."

An old raven heard " Scorpan did not like his master plan but followed him still."

A hefty rat spoke to him " That Tirek would often laugh at the darkness as if he was holding a conversation with someone he knew well."

Finally a lovely troupe of sea ponies stopped him at the river side to share what they saw "The rainbow's of this world have been separated by time and space causing a shift."

Moochick would often laugh with the sea ponies nobody understood how truly intelligent they are. This was enough information for Moochick to start putting his plan into action he loved his position as the one who keeps this universe in balance. He began gathering the potions he made along with several other relics to help keep this universe from cracking or so he hoped. After his preparations he was digging graves for the poor innocent creatures that were sacrificed for Tireks greed. When suddenly he saw a strange sight, he had talk to a few ponies before but he swear he was almost seeing double when the small herd of ponies came clearly into view.

"Hello my little ponies it seems you have twin like friends today." Moochick chuckled.

G1 Twilight spoke "Greetings my friend it seems wishing can get you friends for we have made six today."

Twilight sparkle looked over this wizen gnome and spoke gently "A pleasure sir to meet you my name is Twilight sparkle and I have a few questions for you."

Moochick raised an eyebrow and then spoke "Would it have anything to do with you being from another world that is similar to ours?"

The ponies jaws gaped open staring at him as he added in another comment "My apologies I did not mean to surprise you I have been checking on a little problem we have well here and it seems you may have a very similar problem going on over there."

Posey voice echoed out loudly surprising both her and Fluttershy " How did you know Moochick I mean they just got here little awhile ago."

Rainbow Dash spoke rashly "Yea buster how did you know were you behind it?"

Pinkie Pie along with Surprise speak at the same time " Cupcakes and Surprise!"

Rarity along with Sparkler eyed the gnomes rag tag clothing and looked at each other "He needs more pizzazz."

They gasped in unison as they dashed into the wizards home tossing fabric left and right looking for the right colors to fit the mysterious gnome wizard. Surprise was holding a conversation with Posey and Fluttershy about growing carrots in the field. Both Applejack's stopped her in her hooves explaining that apples are better and more delicious. This drew attention to them from the rash flying pegasi who dashed in their joining in the mini argument about carrots versus apples.

"Apples!" exclaimed both apple loving ponies as they tapped their cutie mark to make their point.

"Carrots!" yelled both Posey and Surprise as they made crunchy sounds.

"As we were asking Mr. Moochick is there a way to return us back to our world?"asked Twilight Sparkle with a slight plea to her voice.

"Why yes there is little pony there are two ways back to your world one is easy and one is very hard." said Moochick as he stroke his beard wondering about cupcakes.

Rainbow Dash spoke rashly "Pfft easy of course anything I do is easy anyways."

Moochick frowned and spoke "Well the easy way is what Tirek did are you sure you want to do so."

Pinkie Pie made an icky face "Ugh no, not fun at all and no surprise's that way boring and also yes very sad bleh."

Surprise appears with a cupcake "Surprise!"

Pinkie Pie giggled along with the white pegasus "Thats the best surprise all day I think you and I are gonna get along great."

The world shifted at the thought of two wild and crazy ponies who crashed into the fourth wall often. Rarity along with Sparkler dashed out of the house holding dazzling pieces of clothes fit for a gnome. Rarity had fashioned a hat out of shells and reeds with a rainbow pastel color scheme. While Sparkler has out done herself with making a camouflage robe with a rainbow patterns that made one stand out more than hide one self.

"Ponies that is real generous of yourselves to help an old gnome like myself much appreciate your efforts." spoke Moochick with high praise.

"So whats the hard way Mr. Moochick." Spoke G1 Twilight questioningly.

He sighed as he was shifting an arcane ball of energy between both hands before speaking "Well the hard way is to gather energy from other ponies or creatures of Equestria via there permission."

Pinkie Pie spoke quickly "That doesn't sound so hard does it girls I am good at asking people for permissions all the time."

Fire Fly spoke hesitantly "I think for creatures like Tirek asking others for help is hard."

Moochick smiled at the ponies "Thats correct Fire fly but its hard to ask for help sometimes for others as well after you have gathered the energy from others come to me I can help you with the proper ritual to send you back."

The pones said their thanks as they made their plans to ask others for their energy and how to gather most of them in one spot.

When suddenly a pink mare raised her hoof energetically yelling "Ooo pick me pick me."

Twilight sighed and said "Yes Pinkie what is your idea."

Pinkie Pie smiled wide "Why my dear Twilight a party of course."

Rainbow Dash opened her mouth and said "That is riduc... actually a great idea."

G1 Twilight spoke "Alright ponies lets spread the word to make friends and gather energy."
