(Sky's POV)

"How much longer till we get to Canterlot?" I asked, sitting in my bunk of the passenger car. Twilight looked out the window.

"Probably a good couples hours still, sorry Sky. I asked if they could speed up the train, but they couldn't." Twilight said, gazing up at the star speckled sky.

"My, isn't a beautiful night tonight? Luna really outdid herself with the constellations! I have already spotted 8!" Twilight cried with delight. Ian looked at me and I shrugged.

"Twilight?" Jason asked, looking down on the small bunk bed that the princess was laying on. She turned around on her bed and sat herself down to a position that was comfortable to lay in.

"Yes Jason?" She asked, all, er, ears.

"Um... can you tell us a story about the Elements of Harmony in action?" His eyes practically sparkled with excitement. Classic Jason.

"Oh! Of course! We have a few, but I'll tell you my personal favorite, which was when we had to use the elements of harmony against Nightmare Moon!" We all brought our attention to the princess, who was excited to tell her story. We all settled down and turned on our listening ears. Twilights friends also tuned in on the story, and based on the expressions on their faces, they seem to know it all to well.

"Well, back when I was a unicorn in Canterlot, I didn't really ever care much about friendship..."

{time skip}

"and then, a giant rainbow burst out of the necklaces that were now around our necks, and boom! Nightmare moon was gone." twilight finished,smiling. By now, we all had huge grins on our faces. That story was just so epic! From battling evil manticores (who fluttershy claims is just a little baby kitty cat who wouldn't hurt a fly) to calming a sorrow serpent. I would give anything to spend a day with these ponies!

Twilight looked at the clock and then looked at the rest of us.

"well guys, I think its time to hit the hay. We got a big day ahead of us!" everyone groaned. She turned down the light and we all closed our eyes, trying to get some sleep. Just as we all were about to settle down, I heard a big crunch! And I bolted my head up, hitting the bed with my head in the process.

"Owwwwwww." I said, rubbing my head. This time Applejack turned on the light.

"what in tarnation was that?" she said, looking and Rainbow Dash, who was now scouting outside.

"I don't know, but I'm gonna go look. Anyone wanna come with?" we all looked at one another. We all then slowly raised our hooves. She motioned with her head to follow, and we creeped towards the back of the train, which was where we thought the noise had come from.

"Fluttershy, come up here." Rainbow said, and Fluttershy flew up to the ceiling, where Dash was now hovering.

"Do you see that?" Dash said, pointing to a silhouette in the dark train car. I backed up behind Jason, shaking.

"Jason, I'm startled." And the rest of the guys gave a quiet laugh. Twilight crept upon the silhouette, and with a twitch of her horn, the entire cabin lit up, and in the place of the silhouette was....nothing.

"darn it! It got away!" Rainbow said, kicked her hind leg in the air with defeat.

"Not so fast Rainbow!" Twilight said. "Look!" Everyone's heads turned to see a figure towards the ceiling, trying to blend in.

"Excuse me mister-mystery-pants? Will you please come down?" Pinkie Pie said. I rolled my eyes. I have only known this pony for a day and I can already see this is going to be quite an experience here. The figure shook it head, silently saying no.

"Oh yes you are!" Rainbow Dash said. She zoomed up to the roof of the train, and grabbed the figure by the waist. It flapped furiously, trying to escape Rainbow's grasp, but she held tight. She pulled him to the ground, and when it finally got into the range of Twilight's horn, I jumped a little in surprise.

"What is it Sky? Is he the one we are looking for?" Twilight asked, and I shook my head. She looked at me.

"Then who is it?" She asked. I opened my mouth, but no words came out.

"It's Tyler!" Bash said, practically jumping on top of him. Tyler let out a huge oof! As Bash landed on his tummy.

"Where have you been?!" Jerome said, looking at the dazed Tyler. Jin cleared his head, and looked at me, Bash still sitting on him.

"Uh, hi, everybody." He said, pushing Bash off himself. He stood up and look nervously at the group.

"So, where have you been?" I asked. "We were worried about you." I looked at his face, and I swore I could have seen some sweat running down his face, but that was probably just from the watermelon crushing him.

"I, uh, I-I was..uh...." Tyler stuttered. Before he could say anything, we heard a loud screech, and we were all thrown off our feet.

"Ugh, what was that?!" Rarity said, rubbing her head.

"Ya, what was that all about?" Applejack asked, and Fluttershy shrugged. I looked outside and saw what looked like a train station.

"Guys, I think we're in Canterlot." I said. Twilight looked out the window and nodded.

"C'mon everypony! We need to get to Canterlot castle as quickly as possible!" Twilight said, and everyone nodded. She ran off the train, and we followed after her. It was still pretty dark, so not very many, if not any, ponies were out and about. The castle wasn't too far away from the train station, and when we reached the large, golden doors of the main castle, I could see out of the corner of my eye, a pony out on a balcony. She had a dark blue coat, and hair that waved in the air, even though there was no wind. I tapped Twilight on the shoulder, and she turned around.

"What is it Sky?" She said, and I couldn't tell if there was a hint of annoyance in her voice at all, but I was guessing there was.

"Who is that pony over there? On the balcony?" I said, pointing to the pony with the blue coat. Jason looked over to where I was pointing, and lifted his helmet off his head. His eyes grew wide as he looked at her. I rolled my eyes and turned to Twilight.

"Oh, that's Princess Luna. She takes care of raising and setting the moon." I looked at her.

"You mean, with her horn, she can raise an entire moon by herself?! That's awesome!" I said, and Ian nodded.

"Any more questions?" She grunted. When no one said anything, she knocked on the large, golden door. They slowly opened and two ponies in armor, excuse me, BUDDER armor, greeted us.

"Y-your Highness!" They said, bowing. She blushed, and scraped at the ground nervously. They stood back up and saw us behind Twilight.

"You highness, please excuse us for asking, but who are these ponies? They look like they just fell into a giant cavern and didn't take a bath for a month." I looked at the guard in shock.

"Excuse me? You look like that yourself!" I said, stamping my hoof. The guard backed away, and another stepped in front of Twilight.

"Sir, I'm going to ask you to leave. One more step and I'm going to have to arrest you and-" the guard started, but he wasn't able to finish his sentence before I was on top of him, growling.

"Now you see here you little..."

"Sky! That is enough! Get off that guard right now!" Twilight said in a booming voice, and i obediently got off. The guard gave me an evil glare as he stood up and collected himself.

"Forgive me your highness, but with all due respect, I must recommend that this pony be taken off of the premises at once." The guard said, looking at me. I just scoffed.

"That won't be necessary, sir. He means no ill will. I will make sure that he doesn't make any more....scenes." She said, giving me a stink eye. I shrunk back, only a little. The guard nodded, but kept a close eye on me as we walked past him. I stuck out my tongue and he just rolled his eyes.

"Sky! Keep up!" Ian yelled, and I ran to catch up with the group.

---~•*•~---

"Princess Celestia!" Twilight yelled, slamming open the doors that lead to the princess's bedroom. Inside was a tall, white, unicorn-pegasus pony with the same flows hair as the pony earlier before.

"Princess Twilight! What is the matter? Is something wrong?" The Princess said, stands up from her place in front of the roaring fire, that crackled with heat.

"Princess, these are my new friends Sky, Jason, Ian, Bash, Seto, Jerome, And Tyler. They came from a distant land and they came to warn us about a threat that has travelled from their world to ours!" Twilight said in one big breath. The princess just looked at her with large eyes.

"Um...Excuse me? I don't think I heard that right. Did I hear that a monster has come from a different world to Equestria?" Twilight and the rest of us nodded our heads. The princess opened her mouth, probably to say something, but those were never spoken, because just before she said her first words of what we needed to do, there was a loud shattering noise, and the room had gone black.
