Chapter V

(GPB walks out with a cane, top hat, tuxedo, and golden specs). Why, hello, my friends. Goldenponyboy here. I just felt like getting dressed up for this chap- (Ursa Major comes out of nowhere and attempts to maul him, but he fends it off with his new staff) ...Well, that just happened. While I go change, THE FIC IS THE THING!

I only own my OC(s).

Paul and Fluttershy held tightly onto each other during their flight. Neither one knew where the pendant was taking them, nor did they want to find out at the moment.

Soon, they felt their legs hit the ground and slowly let go of each other. But when they opened their eyes, imagine their surprise to see Fluttershy back to her ordinary self. Paul, however, no longer looked like, well, Paul. He was now a light brown Pegasus with a darker brown shaggy mane. On his flank was a picture of two masks, one with a happy expression, the other a sad one.

After looking himself over, Paul nodded his head. "This is freakin' sweet!" He flapped his wings and hovered a bit. "Oh I could get used to this!"

After he landed, he got a good look at his and Fluttershy's surroundings. They were in a wooden room, filled with shelves and shelves of books and books.

They were in the Ponyville library, and the owner was dashing down the stairs.

"Who's there?" Twilight called, thinking that it was just another pony in search of some literature.

"I-It's Fluttershy," Fluttershy called.

When she heard this, Twilight ran down the rest of the steps. "Fluttershy!" She ran over to give her friend a welcome hug, but it didn't end as planned. And by that I mean that she went flying through Fluttershy and into the wall behind her. "Ow," she muttered, rubbing the back of her head.

Fluttershy was shocked. "Oh, I'm sorry Twilight."

The purple mare simply stood up and brushed herself off. "I figured that something like this would happen."

"What do you mean?"

"The spell I cast was done incorrectly."

"Excuse me," Paul interrupted. "I'm sorry. Paul is confused. What spell?"

Twilight looked at him with a confused look. "Who are you?"

"My name is Paul, a resident of the place that you sent Fluttershy to. Now answer my question."

"Right, sorry. I cast a spell discovered by Starswirl the Bearded."

"As can be expected."

"It was simply supposed to allow non-unicorns to teleport like unicorns."

"Well, it worked."

The purple mare glared at him. "I though you wanted to hear about this."

"I shall furthermore keep my sarcastic remarks to a minimum. Proceed."

"Thank you. Now, the spell worked, yes, but it didn't give Fluttershy the control it was supposed to. I'm amazed that you even got back here at all."

"So, if I understand correctly," Fluttershy started, "I was just whisked away randomly?"

"I'm sorry, but that about sums it up."

Paul was standing back a bit, a hoof on his chin, thinking about this. Then, he suddenly bounded straight into the air, did four laps around the room, and landed next to Fluttershy before yelling, "SPIKE!"

The purple dragon came running down the stairs, falling down the last few. "Ouch."

"Oh, Spikey, are you okay?" Fluttershy asked.

When he heard her voice, Spike jumped up. "Fluttershy!" After this, he proceed to pull the same stunt Twilight did moments before. "Wait, what?"

Twilight lifted the dragon up with her magic and pulled him over. "First, I already tried that. Second, Paul needs you for something."

"Paul? Who's Paul?"

The "pony" in question cleared his throat. "That would be me. And if you would be so kind as to take a letter for me."

"I...guess so." Spike grabbed his parchment and quill and wrote down everything Paul said, with a few additions of course:

Dear Princess Celestia and/or Luna,

My name is Paul, a resident of the planet Earth. Both me and my place of origin may not be familiar to your royal ears, but I happen to know all about you and your beautiful kingdom.

However, I'm not having Spike (the handsome, loyal assistant to your faithful student Twilight Sparkle) write to you just to praise your kingdom, though I already have. I'm having this written so I can inform you that your faithful student had a bit of a hiccup with her magic practice.

And what is this hiccup? She not only succeeded to whisk her friend Fluttershy to another world, but also caused a resident from that very world to be dragged along back. And, by the way, that resident was your truly. Okay, it was my fault, but only partially.

We ask you, neigh, beg you to please give us assistance on this little problem.

Yours in confusion,

Paul.

Spike rolled up the parchment and blew his flames on it. "Okay, so now what?"

Paul flapped his wings, lifted himself into the air, and put his front legs behind his head. "Now, we wait for either princess to answer our-"

He was interrupted, and sent crashing to the floor, by all the light in the room suddenly going out. They could still see each other, but not as clearly in the color department. In the middle of the room, a gateway that appeared to be made of flowing darkness sprouted from the floor.

"I thought we sent for the princesses, not Ansem!" Paul shouted as the gateway began to make noise.

Though, instead of the Kingdom Hearts character, Princess Luna stepped out of it. After she had, the gateway sank back to the floor and light came back to the room. When that had occurred, she looked up and asked, "Which of thee is the one called Paul?"

The "Pegasus" scrambled to Luna's hooves and began kissing them. "O Glorious Luna, Ruler of the Night and Dreams of all in Equestria, 'tis I that thou seeketh. I asketh a thousand pardons for disturbing thy slumber, but... okay, I can't do this any longer. We need your help."

"Yes, we know of your problem. And your solution is also known to us."

"It is?" They all leaned in to hear the solution. However, Pinkie leaned a little too far and fell flat on her face, making everypony look in her direction. "Where the hay did you come from?" Paul asked her.

She quickly stood up and turned to him with a giggle. "Well... when a stallion and a mare love each other very much-"

"As we were saying," Luna said, obviously annoyed, "Your solution is simple. You need only to complete a specified task each in this world and yours for the next... few days."

"The next few days! What kind of task do we-"

"Not 'we', only you. You see, the counter-spell has to be cast by someone from the recipient world. And, seeing that you cannot cast what we consider magic, you are going to have to complete the designated task wherever you are."

"How am I supposed to know what said task is?"

Luna smiled when he asked the question. "Look at her pendant." Paul looked over and saw what she was talking about. The pendant was beginning to glow. "The pendant is also part of the spell, it will give you hints and tell you when you have done the task."

Soon, though they were not touching each other, they both started glowing. The pendant was taking them back to Earth.

Chapter Complete. Well, this fic should be longer than twenty chapters at least if what I have planned actually happens. But if it doesn't, any of you who know who I am I give permission to slap me in the face. But, seeing as how that's like...two or three people, R&R AND ADIOS!
