Chapter 7:

"Um, yeah… That's Spike," Raphael replied.

"How strange. We have a friend named Spike. He's a baby dragon.

"Cool," Raph said, being strangely gentle. It seemed he was taking Twilight's advice. The mutant lovingly placed a hand on his pet's shell.

"Maybe Spike and Spike should meet! Or maybe… Rainbow Dash, do you think Tank might want to meet a turtle friend?"

Rainbow shrugged. "I don't see why not, but this turtle better be awesome enough for Tank."

"Oh, Spike is awesome," Raph spoke up. "It's Tank who should be awesome enough."

Suddenly, a light blue shape appeared right in front of Raph's eyes, causing him to jump back a bit. His eyes grew much larger and more oval shaped, and his pupils and irises grew to match. The turtle relaxed a bit when he realized the shape was only Rainbow Dash, and his eyes returned to normal.

"Okay, two things. One: what was up with your eyes? And two: was that a challenge?" Rainbow backed up a bit and crossed her forelegs over her chest, hovering in the air.

"Maybe, and what about my eyes?"

"They got all huge and weird."

"You're one to talk, Miss 'My-Eyes-Take-Up-Half-My-Head'."

"No, seriously."

"Seriously, I have no idea what you're talking about."

"O… kay…" Rainbow Dash decided to change the topic back to Tank and Spike. "But I never back down from a challenge."

A low moan interrupted the pair's conversation, and both arguing parties looked around to find its source.

Michelangelo was hunched over, his arms hugging his stomach.

"Are you alright, Mikey?" Leo asked. He had been enjoying watching the pony-vs.-turtle battle.

"My stomach is killing me," the orange turtle explained. He looked up and, to everyone's surprise, his blue eyes had enlarged to look like one of the ponies'.

"Mikey, your eyes!" Leo exclaimed. "They're all… pony-ish!"

Twilight's horn began to glow with a shimmery pink light, and a mirror surrounded by the same glow appeared in front of Mikey's face, floating."

"Wha-!"

"That's strange," Donnie said thoughtfully. "It seems like you're morphing into something that would fit this world. Maybe it's something to do with high-speed evolution…"

"Or maybe it's magic," Twilight said. The mirror and shimmery light disappeared.

"Well, whatever it is, it happened to Raphael, too, for a second," Rainbow Dash said. "When I got up in his face."

Mikey rubbed his eyes with his large, three-fingered hands, and his eyes returned to normal.

"That is just freaky," Leo announced.

"Mikey, does your stomach still hurt?"

"A little, but not as bad as before."

"Hmm. It could be that this happens when the organism it affects feels strong emotion or physical feeling. Raph was startled by Rainbow Dash appearing in his face, and Mikey's stomach was causing him major pain. Anyway, whatever it is, I have a feeling it'll get worse the longer we stay here," Donnie mused.

"Well, then, does anyone have any more questions for us?" the blue turtle asked the ponies.

The equines glanced at each other, but no one spoke.

"In that case," Leo continued, "I think we'll be on our way."

"Wait just a minute," Raph said. "I know this is serious and all, but can we wait long enough for me to prove to this pony," he spat out the word as if it reminded him of something disgusting, "that Spike is 500 times more awesome that her Tank could ever be?" The words the hothead spoke were a question, but he said them like a statement.

Leo sighed. "No, Raph. Who knows what'll happen if we stay any longer?"

"But you didn't get to party!" Pinkie Pie added. "I promised Mikey we could party! And I never break a Pinkie Promise."

"It's true," Applejack said. "No one ever breaks a Pinkie Promise. Trust me."

"Aw, man! I wanted to party like a pony!" Mikey groaned.

"And I'd sort of like to learn more about magic," Donnie offered. "But we need to get home. What if the Kraang or Shredder are plotting against us and they have something set up like that one time with the chlorosulfonic acid and the water balloon?"

Mikey sighed. "I guess we have to go." He turned to Pinkie and gave her a huge hug. "How come whenever I make a friend, we end up in different dimensions?"

Ooc: Poor Mikey! First Leatherhead, and now Pinkie! Will he ever get to make a friend he can keep? Only time will tell.

Did you guys watch the season finale? I CANT BELIEVE WHAT SPLINTER FOUND OUT!

A bit of a spoiler ahead for the season finale of TMNT if you haven't watched it yet:

And... when April was out of sorts and told Donnie he was her hero... SHE HAS TO HAVE BEEN SPEAKING THE TRUTH! It's not like she would be able to think up a good lie after getting mind-sucked by the Kraang!
