Gohan dashed through the forest as fast as he could travel, heading towards the portal sight to meet Twilight. He could hardly contain his excitement but just before he landed near the portal he sensed a certain ki signature that he could recognize miles away.

Landing next to his portal he turned to the forest and called out "I know you're there, Goten. Come on out."

Goten jolted in his place before walking out of the forest with a curious gleam in his eyes. "Whatcha doin' Gohan?"

Gohan smiled and leaned over to be at Goten's level. "Don't worry about it. Shouldn't you be helping mom?"

Goten shook his head. "She said I could come play with you today if I wanted to."

Gohan sighed and looked over at the portal, carefully weighing his options. "Okay." he finally said. "You can meet my new friend. I'm gonna teach her how to control her ki and how to fly."

Goten gasped and smiled wide. "I wanna learn how to fly!"

Gohan laughed. "Alright, sport. I'll teach you, too. Just go easy on my friend Twilight, okay? She's from another world so she's gonna have trouble walking let alone flying. And ki doesn't work the same in her world so we're gonna have to teach her from the ground up. Can you make a ki ball, Goten?"

Goten nodded and did what was asked of him, creating a warm energy in his hands. "Like this, right?"

Gohan smiled. "Yeah! Just like that! I figured you would know that much. So just sit tight and we'll wait for Twilight together."

"Okay Gohan!"

About an hour passed before the light of the portal began to glow. Gohan and Goten were resting on the grass when they heard the whirring sound of its activation. They sat up together, Goten playing with a frog that landed near them and Gohan standing up. "Here she comes! Get ready to meet a princess, Goten."

Goten gasped and let the frog down, standing up as well. "A princess? You didn't tell me that, Gohan!"

Gohan grinned. "Well, I have now."

When Twilight came through she was sitting down. Gohan grinned and held a hand out to her to help her up. "Here. We walk on two feet in this world."

Twilight stood and smiled at Gohan's help. "Thank you. I've been in a world like that before so I have quite a bit of practice in it." She took a look at herself and noticed that she wasn't purple like she was used to but rather the same color as Gohan. She was wearing the same outfit from when she would visit Sunset Shimmer, though, so she assumed this world wasn't that different from theirs.

Goten frowned and spoke up. "She doesn't look like a princess."

Twilight jolted back and yelped at the new voice. "Wha - who is that?"

Gohan laughed. "Don't worry. That's just my little brother. I've told him everything already. Trust me, he's not going to do anything nefarious. He just wants to learn to fly as well."

"Can I come to your home sometime, too?"

Twilight smiled nervously before leaning over and holding a hand out to Goten. "I'm Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship, but you can just call me Twilight."

Goten reached out and shook her hand. "That sounds cool! What do you do as a princess? Do you get to fight a lot?"

The stranger to the new world laughed and rubbed the back of her head. "Actually, I kind of do but I don't like to."

"Whaaaaaat? Who doesn't like to fight?!"

Gohan groaned and rubbed his own head. "Goten… not everyone likes fighting."

Goten pouted. "But you do, Gohan! That's why you dress up as the Great Saiyaman, isn't it?"

Gohan blushed and covered Goten's mouth. "Shush! That's a secret, Goten! Look, Twilight, don't listen to anything he says, okay? He's part Sai- I mean - he's just a kid! Young boys really like to fight. You should hear what he and his friend Trunks do all the time hahaha!"

Twilight starred in confused surprise. What was Gohan going to say before he interrupted himself? What was the 'Great Saiyaman'? And what was all this talk about fighting as though it were fun? "Right. Kids. Gohan, is it true that you like fighting?"

Gohan sighed. The jig was up. "Not exactly. Goten seems too but he's got a lot more than that in common with our dad so it doesn't surprise me. I don't, though. I only fight when I really have too."

"Oh…" Twilight wasn't sure what to think of all that. Someone as young as Goten - she assumed he was young - enjoying to fight? That seemed rough. She took a step back towards the portal. Maybe Princess Luna was right. Maybe this place and these people were dangerous. She looked back before getting lost in Gohan's eyes. Suddenly she felt relaxed. That's right. This was her friend. She should trust him. She smiled at Gohan and Gohan smiled knowingly right back, finally releasing Goten.

"Alright! So let's talk about ki! Believe it or not, Twilight, it works a lot like your worlds magic."

Goten gasped. "They have magic?! That's so cool! Teach me, teach me Ms. Twilight!"

Gohan sighed and shook his head. "She can't right now, Goten, it doesn't work in our world."

"Oh… " Goten looked down in disappointment before looking up again, pulling up his fists and smiling big. "Then I'll just have to go to her world!" and that's exactly what he did.

Before either of the adults could stop the run away child, Goten was through the portal. On instinct, Gohan chased him down and following shortly thereafter was Twilight.

When Gohan arrived he immediately tried senses Goten's ki but felt nothing. 'Of course' he thought to himself, 'ki doesn't work here. I forgot.' he groaned and looked around, not knowing how Goten would look as a pony made things difficult for them.

Twilight made it behind Gohan and looked around as well. "He couldn't have gotten far, could he? Surely he's still in the castle."

"Who knows." Gohan sighed. "He's fast and slippery. He's always been like this. That Pinkie Pie who threw that party for me, she knows everyone in town, right?"

Twilight nodded, at first not understanding what Gohan was getting at before it hit and her eyes widened. "So she would be able to recognize a new foal running around!"

Gohan hummed and looked towards the nearest door. "Goten, where could you have gotten off too?"
