Twilight and Gohan were in a panic but Twilight taught Gohan her breathing trick and soon they were relaxed enough to focus.
The plan first was to check the castle. Then they would ask Pinkie Pie for help.
As they climbed out from the castle basement to the main hall with the Cutie Map, they were surprised to see a tall alicorn princess with a cutie mark of a sun to match her bright white coat and rainbow colored mane. Twilight gasped and began to repeat her breathing trick for herself, doing it over and over to bring her to a relaxed state.
The princess turned to them and smiled. "Well hello there, Twilight Sparkle. I came to visit you to make sure everything was alright and I met the most adorable little foal just now."
Gohan swallowed nervously and bowed his head in respect, hoping the foal she spoke of wasn't Goten and yet also hoping he was. It was a confusing feeling. He wanted clues but he didn't want this world's royalty to find out about them and get Twilight in trouble. He should've kept a closer eye on Goten.
Twilight bowed as well and then quickly raised her head. "A - a foal, ma'am?"
She nodded. "Yes, he's right here, actually. He's told me a magnificent story of another world. Do you know this pony, Twilight?"
Twilight looked behind Celestia and noticed a small red pegasus foal with a light blue mane and tail. A blank flank, of course. Twilight sighed and put the two pieces together. This must've been Goten.
"Let me see." Celestia continued before Twilight could answer her question. "If this young one is telling the truth, then that must mean your friend here is his older brother, Gohan." Gohan nodded slowly and bowed his head again.
"I'm sorry if Goten bothered you, ma'am."
She smiled warmly at him before turning to her former student. "Twilight, may I speak with you? Something has come up and we must discuss it at once."
Twilight's eyes grew wide in worry. "Something has… come up? Did something happen?"
Celestia hummed and turned her head to look at the young Goten. "I believe you know the answer to that."
Gohan ushered Goten over, glaring at him dangerously and when the younger brother stood next to him, Gohan smacked him across the back of his head.
Twilight looked to Gohan, looked down and then solemnly followed Princess Celestia into a nearby meeting room to speak of what troubled Luna.
What felt like hours had passed with Gohan glaring at Goten and constantly berating him for flying around the meeting hall saying "I'm a birdie, I'm a birdie, Goten's a birdie!"
"Goten, I know this world is exciting and all but you need to realize that what you did could've put Twilight in a lot of trouble. She could be getting punished right now for all we know!"
Goten landed and kicked at the ground. "Yeah but I didn't mean it. You said this place was full of nice people and telling them about us wouldn't cause any problems."
"I didn't say that! I said telling Twilight about us wouldn't cause problems! You could've gotten lost, Goten, I could've lost you for good. Do you know how heartbroken mom would be if I had to go to her and tell her you were missing in another dimension?"
Goten looked down and pouted. "I'm sorry, Gohan, I'll be more careful."
Gohan sighed. "Alright. Alright. It's okay, let's just, sit and hope that Twilight isn't in too much trouble."
Goten did as he was told and sat down, staring at the ground as he did so.
More time passed and Twilight came out of the meeting hall, looking worried and depressed. "Gohan. Something bad will happen if we don't change the future soon."
Celestia sent a glare to Twilight. "Twilight, I told you to only tell your friends and to not push your luck with this new dimension."
"But he is my friend, Princess! With all due respect, I trust him with my life. I promise nothing bad will happen."
Celestia smiled knowingly and nodded. "Very well, Princess Twilight. I trust your judgement of friends."
Twilight nodded in return and turned back to Gohan and Goten. "I should send you back home, Gohan and, you… " she sighed. "You shouldn't return here again."
Gohan's eye grew wide and he saw tears forming in Twilights own eyes. "But, you can still come to visit me, can't you?"
Twilight shook her head. "No. Princess Luna is in a deep slumber because of a nightmare that attacked her and Princess Celestia. A nightmare that came from the portal. We can't use it anymore."
