The human Mane Six came by.

"You okay?" Applejack asked Twilight. "We heard cryin'."

"The Fall Formal isn't happening tonight." Twilight looked down sadly.

"WHAT!?" Pinkie Pie sounded the most hysterical over this.

"It has to be postponed because Sunset Shimmer got Snips and Snails to destroy the gym and blame it all on poor Twilight." Cherry nearly scowled.

"But with the help from Flash, she was saved from being expelled, but now we need to go and fix all of the decorations." Atticus said.

"It has to happen tonight..." Twilight sighed. "You see, it's because."

"You're from an alternate world and you're a pony princess there and the crown actually has a magical element embedded in it that helps power up other magical elements, and without it they don't work anymore, and you need them all to help protect your magical world, and if you don't get the crown tonight, you'll be stuck in this world and you won't be able to get back for, like, a really, really long time!" Pinkie Pie asked, which sounded odd to her friends, despite being all too true.

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's not the reason."

"Actually, she's spot on." Spike actually talked to them all then.

This freaked everybody else.

"He can talk!?" Rarity shrieked.

"Yeah and that isn't the only thing." Bobby said, before he turned back into Patch.

"He's a dog!?" Rarity pointed to Patch.

"Yes, he is," Mo said then. "The big princess in charge of Twilight's world accepted us into Canterlot High to help her get the Element of Harmony crown."

"That's not all," Spike cut in. "Back where I come from, I'm not even a dog! I'm a ferocious fire-breathing dragon!" this made Twilight, Cherry, Mo, and Atticus roll their eyes. Yes, Spike was a dragon, but not a monster demon dragon.

"Are you sure?" Patch asked.

"Yeah, you sure?" Mo added.

"Yeah, still breathe fire," Spike said, then looked puzzled. "You can understand him?"

"Grew up around dogs almost all my life, you kinda get used to it," Mo shrugged with a smile, then looked to the human Mane Six. "I'll give you guys something to help us all understand Patch."

"Like what?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Mo took them all to her family backyard and went inside the house, then came out with necklaces. "Here, put these on." she told them.

The human Mane Six did as told. Even Spike had one on.

"Patch," Atticus got his attention like a noble pet owner. "Speak."

Patch smiled and then talked and this time, everyone could decipher him. "'Ello! I'm Patch!"

This made the human Mane Six and Spike go jaw dropped.

"Anyway, Pinkie, how did you know all that?" Twilight asked.

"Just a hunch." Pinkie grinned.

"Wait a minute, lemme get this straight," Applejack spoke up. "You're a pony?"

"You're a princess?" Rarity added.

"You're from another world?" Fluttershy finished.

"Mm-hmm..." Twilight nodded.

Rainbow Dash smiled. "This... Is... AWESOME!"

"Yeah, it is." Atticus said.

This made the others excited and Spike smiled to Twilight.

"Well, we better get to the school to fix the decorations then and clean up the mess." Patch said.

"Patch is right," Applejack smiled, but looked awkward. "Feels weird agreein' with a dog sometimes..."

"You get used to it." Mo assured her.

"Yeah." Atticus said.

"Back on topic, I guess we'll try to get the gym back in order in time for the dance." Rainbow Dash smiled.

"Speaking of which, you all got dates?" Applejack asked Cherry, Mo, and Atticus.

"Well, I do have someone to go with in mind." Mo smirked as she reached for Atticus's hand.

"So do I." Atticus smirked as he held Mo's hand.

Mo blushed then.

"I'm going with Apple Bloom." Patch smiled.

"Y'all better take good care of my little sister." Applejack looked protective.

"Oh, I promise I will, Applejack." Patch nodded.

"I'm going with Flash Sentry..." Twilight looked to Cherry. "What about you?"

"I don't need a date." Cherry rolled her eyes slightly, avoiding their gazes.

"I bet she'll go with Forte." Atticus said.

"He's a million years old!" Cherry scoffed.

"Well, hope you find somebody." Fluttershy shrugged.

"We're gonna go back to the gym to fix everything up for the dance," Rarity said. "I'll also work on your dance clothes."

"Thanks, Rarity." Cherry, Mo, and Atticus told the glamorous girl.

They all went to the gym at the school.


Cherry went to her house instead, she flopped on her bed. "Who could I ask to this dance? Nobody even likes me like that... I'm not like my brother and can make someone want me just by talking to them or looking at them."

This truly was a predicament. Forte knocked on the window.

"GO AWAY!" Cherry really didn't want to see him right now.

Forte opened the window and climbed through it, coming to her. "I can get you a date..."

Cherry snorted in disbelief. Forte could see that Cherry didn't believe him. So he turned into a boy around her age in a Gothic like outfit with slicked down black hair.

Cherry looked over, then did a double take. "Wait... You're Charles?"

"Yes, that's in fact my first name, child," Forte told her, using his normal voice in this form. "It was the only way I knew I could be close with you..." he then bowed and held out his hand. "Will you go to the Fall Formal Dance with me?"

Cherry blinked and shrugged. "I guess... But no hypnotizing me!" she said sharply, then looked freaked out. "It gives me the creeps."

"I understand..." Forte then took out a spring green dress with a matching bow. "This color really compliments your skin tone."

"Looks like I'm going to some school dance tonight." Cherry sighed, but she actually seemed to be smiling at him.
