Wait is over. Continue on. BTW, have any of you seen this? http:/funny junk .com/ funny_pictures /2745924/ Ponymon+Alpha+0+3/

The rest of the flight was fairly silent. There was some idle chatter, but other than that, silent. I was about to be strangled by the quiet when I realized Canterlot was just below us.

"Look!" Dashie pointed down the gates. "The gates are open. I guess they're expecting us." She began a gentle dive toward the gates, when I stuck out my hoof and stopped her. 'Hey! What's the big idea?"

At the words 'expecting us', I wasn't picturing the best situation. "Not sure if that's such a good thing." I looked over the upper left portion of the castle and pointed to an broken window. It was just big enough for a pony to get through. " Through there." She responded with a strange look, but went anyway.

After going through the window we landed on a wooden beam. I pointed farther down the hallway at a couple royal guards were waiting. "See. There's the welcome wagon. Doesn't seem like the best way to great your guests."

"Well... yeah." she responded.

We snuck our way past the guards and we were soon at the doors of what was hopefully the throne room. I put my ear to the door and listened. the doors were notably thick, so I only caught part of the conversation. Basically it consisted of Twilight warning (probably Celestia) of my arrival, Fluttershy squeaking every now and then, Pinkie Pie wanting to throw Dashie and I a reunion party. However, I didn't hear Applejack or Rarity. They probably just had nothing to say. Then, I heard the words 'send him back' from Twilight and decided it was now or never. I pushed on the door only for it to not budge.

"Locked." I knew they couldn't hear me from in there with the thick doors. "Give me a ha-hoof here," I mentally slapped myself for almost saying hand, but Dashie seemed to miss it. "On three we charge the door." She nodded. "Okay then,. One... Two... THREE!"

"Anyways Princess, I believe that the best course of action is to send him back to his own world. You said it yourself these two worlds were not meant to be in contact with each other." Twilight had assembled her friends and was currently holding a conference with the Princess in hopes of coming up with a plan. Celestia had not spoke the entire time. She had just opened her mouth to speak when...

"THREE!" A loud shout came from the other side of the door and suddenly the lock holding closed burst from the sudden and massive stress. The doors feel off their hinges hitting the ground kicking up a cloud of dust. Dashie and I stepped into view. All the ponies' jaws were dropped except Celestia who just looked mildly surprised. I couldn't help it any longer.

"And that... Is how you make an entrance." This earned an amused chuckle from Dashie and a straight up open laugh from Pinkie. Twilight narrowed her eyes and began to advance on us.

"Twilight. Please wait." Celestia continued to look at me as she said this. Twilight stopped, and right when I thought I could breathe, Celestia started coming my way.

In all honesty, what I did next probably wasn't the smartest thing ever. I dropped into a fighting stance. I really didn't care if I was staring down a goddess. I was in Equestria getting a second chance with my daughter and I refuse to give it up like this.

Celestia looked down at me. I thought she was going to use a spell to send me back, but what happened next caught me completely off guard. A single golden tear fell from her eye.

"Ever since we returned here I've been thinking, regretting what I did. I know you'll never forgive me for what happened, and I know my apology means nothing. So, I brought you here." Twilight and the others gasped as Dashie continued to stare in confusion.

I slowly retreated back to a normal standing position. "You... brought me here? Wait, I thought you said our worlds can't come in contact."

Celestia gave a small smile. "As the old saying goes, if you love something set it free..."

I cut her off "If returns, it's meant to be."

"Alright that's it!" We all turned to Dashie. "Somepony better explain what the hay is going on!"

"Allow me Rainbow Dash." Celestia lowered her head and fired a golden beam from her horn. A large white flash followed. I opened my eyes afterward to see Dashie lying on the floor. I walked over to her and nudged her,

"Dashie?"

"Come on, five more minutes Dad." Her eyes flew open. "DAD!" SHE looked me up and down and broke out into a grin. "There's something different about, but I can't quite put my hoof on it." We both started laughing. It was great to be with my daughter again and this time, nothing would separate us.

HAHAHAHAHA! I FINISHED IT! DONE! YES! I hope you enjoyed reading this. IT wasn't that long, but then again it wasn't really supposed to be. Peace Out!
