The trio arrived in Canterlot sometime in the afternoon. They exited the train, Twilight and Spike leading our curious terrapin friend to the princesses' castle. Donatello stared amazingly at the sparkling palace with each step of getting closer to its majestic glory, while Discord made a cotton candy cloud appear making it rain chocolate milk. They went inside, guards standing at both sides of the room, approaching two more alicorns. One alicorn was about the same height as Donatello, white with a sparkling rainbow mane. The other was of a midnight bluish-black, shorter than the other, with a flowing mane as blue and sparkling as the night sky.
So these two are the princesses, Donatello thought, and the white pony's about my height, too!
"Greetings, Twilight Sparkle and Spike," the white alicorn spoke. "And to you as well, Donatello."
"Ahem!" Discord cleared his throat.
"And... You as well, Discord."
The Draconequus smiled. "Thank you, Tia."
Twilight nudged the ninja turtle's leg. "Bow, Donatello! BOW!" she whispered.
Donatello quickly bowed. "It's nice meeting you, Your Highness," the ninja turtle said then thought, How did she know my name?! Did Twilight brag about me or something?
"Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, you sent me and my friend an urgent message. What's wrong? Is the kingdom under attack again?!"
Celestia just smiled. "No, Twilight. In fact, it's the opposite of anything wrong." She turned to her younger sister. "Luna, would you mind leading these three to the other room? I shall join them in a minute."
"Of course," Luna said standing up, then looked to the group. "Follow me, please."
They followed Luna down the halls for a few minutes until they came across a room that had a mysterious object. It looked like a giant mirror, but it didn't cast any kind of reflection.
"What is that thing?" Donatello observed. "It kinda looks like a mirror."
"I don't know," Twilight answered. "I've never seen or read anything about it in my books."
"What do you think it does?" Spike asked, lightly poking at it with claw.
"Hmm..." Discord pondered a moment. "This was never created by me in any way, shape, or form, so... I have no idea what this thing could do. But I guess it could blow up if mishandled, destroy all of Equestria, or whatever."
"The one called Donatello," Luna spoke. "You are quite strange to us. However did thou come to be in Equestria?"
"It's kind of a long story," the ninja turtle replied. "But overall, I just want to get home and find my brothers and sensei."
"I see. May you be triumphant in your quest." She turned to the doorway. "My sister approaches."
Celestia entered the room. "What you are seeing is the Mirror of Worlds," she explained. "It can send anypony to any world they desire." She looked over at the ninja turtle. "And Donatello?"
"Yeah?" Donatello perked up.
"Make sure you say hello to your Master Splinter for me." The white alicorn smiled.
Donatello gave a questioning look, but then nodded. Does Master Splinter know...? he thought. When I get back, I'll ask him about Celestia.
"WAIT! MR. DONATELLO!" Everyone turned around and saw Fluttershy, panting in exhaustion.
"Fluttershy?!" Donatello exclaimed. How did you-"
"I came to say goodbye," she interrupted. "I didn't want you to leave without saying goodbye. So..." She sadly looked down at her hooves. "Goodbye, Mr. Donatello..."
The ninja turtle knelt down and started petting her mane. "You know, Fluttershy, goodbyes aren't forever. I'll come back someday."
She looked back up at him with sad, tearful eyes. "You promise...?"
He smiled. "I promise."
"Oh, I hate sad goodbyes," Discord said as he sniffled, a box of tissues appearing in the air next to him. He grabbed a tissue and blew his nose into it, and dropped it to the ground somewhere between Spike and Twilight. Neither the lavender alicorn nor the dragon was going to touch it.
Donatello stood back up and turned to the Mirror of Worlds. "I'd like to get back to my home, New York."
The Mirror of Worlds showed an image of New York. Donatello was about to step through, but then the portal glowed brightly, pulling in Donatello and Fluttershy. Fluttershy let out a 'Squee!' and tried to fly away, but to no avail. They were both pulled in, the light then dimming.
"Donatello!" Twilight yelled.
"FLUTTERSHY!" Discord yelled.
"What happened to them?!" Spike said worriedly. "Where'd they go?!"
"That was not supposed to happen," Celestia spoke. "Something must be wrong entirely...!"
"Fluttershy..." Twilight quietly said, softly starting to cry.
END OF PART 2... Aren't I evil? :)
