Thread: MLP:FiM - A Journey Across Worlds

Dear, To Whomever it May Concern The next day came up and I didn't get any sleep that day. Why? For whatever reason, I started having nightmares about Dash and I. Maybe I'm worrying deep down inside me. That something bad will happen. Things in the world don't stay secret for long, most of them eventually rise to the surface and everyone knows, whether it has something to do with you or not. I knew when I was laying in my bed staring up at the ceiling that someone was going to find Dash sooner or later. She needed to get back home to Equestria as soon as possible. Yet, I was lying there blankly staring at my white ceiling. It was just I hadn't a clue how to do so. Dash told me exactly how she got here but I had no clue to do the impossible and send her back. I remember feeling very bad about it because I don't think I could help her and she was counting on me. Of course she wouldn't say it straight but she really appreciates my help and giving her a place to crash. I do feel proud that I could help her but I hope she didn't set her expectations of me too high. Staring at my ceiling wasn't going to help at all so I could only get up from my bed and slowly drag myself to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. When I got downstairs, I seen Dash trying to open a jar of peanut butter. She tried, and tried, then tried some more. She even used her teeth and it didn't help, neither did her hooves. I wondered just how tight the lid was on this jar. I know the last time I used it, I didn't tighten it up that tight. She was trying with all her might but I don't think she noticed I was staring at her at first. I found the whole moment very cute and I could feel myself smiling at her though I don't think I noticed it at the time. She finally saw me when I foolishly took a quick step forward but before I could say something to her, she flew up from the table to shove the jar in my face and demanding that I open it. She had turned her back because for what I guess, she must've been blushing at how lame she thought she looked in front of me. I would've put it another way but I didn't argue at her, she already made my morning with that. I opened the peanut butter jar for her so that she could get what she wanted out of it and gave it back to her then she went back to making her sandwich. She certainly made herself at home within my small walls which I'm happy for. I'm not a man with a lot of money but what I have, I try to make it work. After a few minutes of messing around with the coffee maker, I had my cup of coffee that I was going to enjoy while I tried to search for anything on the internet that might help get Dash home and so I went to my office to do that exactly. I looked behind me to see that Dash was hovering behind me and not saying a word as she looked around my office. I admit, it wasn't exactly the cleanest room in the house unlike the rest of the house but for me, my office is where I go to unwind and be me. Not that I can't do that with the rest of the house but this place in particular I feel truly at peace. I sat in my black rolling chair and put the coffee mug beside me then I looked to Dash and asked her just exactly did she first end up when coming out of the dimensional pocket between her world and ours. I had to guess if she ended up here after being flung in a random direction, I thought our worlds might just be closer than I thought. Dash hovered back and forth trying to remember then suddenly donned on her that she first ended up on top of a mountain, inside of a cave that had strange markings on the rock walls and that they were glowing because she guessed it was because she teleported there and they were reacting to the magical light aura she still had wrapped around her body from Twilight. Also, she said when she exited the cave, she could see the Astral lights making lines in the night sky above the cave itself, making such a pattern that it seemed as if there was a giant crack in the sky that was trying to repair itself. I found this fascinating because it seems like that little incident most likely temporarily broken down the barrier that keeps our worlds apart or universes. Of course, I'm just making a guess here even though I know next to nothing about science. I mean, I seen Star Trek and played video games that dealt with these kinds of things but I doubt those would come close to actually making a connection of what happened to her. Now things were starting to roll. I did remember doing all of this in my head as I was typing everything she was telling me down. Something was still missing. Even if she had become lost within the stream of light and gotten thrown somewhere else other than where she was supposed to, she still should've been able to at least come out still in Equestria. Coming here to a world that had absolutely no connection to magic and the other things she's used to would be an extreme, an extreme that was impossible in itself. So I asked her how exactly did she even connected here to the human world if our worlds are completely different? At first she was at a loss what to say but then told me that Princess Celestia said that there was a connection between here and Equestria. That there was a lot of places in Equestria that could potentially send you here but extreme few connections from the human world to Equestria. When Dash said that, I started thinking about the spell that this Twilight had done to teleport them and asked Dash about it but she didn't know because she wasn't really listening to Twilight about how the whole thing works other than it was supposed to take them to Manehattan. Manehattan, huh? I guess this is one of our major cities but ponyfied. After a few minutes of thinking silently to myself, I asked her if she possibly knew the location of this cave. She had shaken her head because she said she lost consciousness after seeing the outside sky. If that's true, how did end up in the middle of a desert? As I asked her that, she told me that she didn't know and maybe that it was just her doing and that she probably ended up flying anywhere in order to find some kind of civilization. A state of panic, maybe? It was the only thing I could think of considering that she didn't remember where her entry was. Well, after compiling everything that she told me, our only lead was this cave that she came out of. If indeed that the Astral lines are hanging in the sky trying to repair the rift between my world and hers, I'm sure that the hole was still open. There was still a chance that I could get her home if I got her there in time. I told her that and she yelled in happiness before punching my arm. It's her way of complimenting me, I think. Still I felt proud that I seem to have a hold on things. Now that I had the information that I needed, I decided to ask her questions about the surrounding area to see if I could get an idea what mountains she was in before she flew off hurriedly. I got my answer but it wasn't from her, unfortunately. Dash and I heard some talking coming from the radio in my office. There was a newslady talking about a strange rift-like crack hanging in the air just above the Rocky Mountains and it was stretching a few hundred miles in the air. Dash and I looked at each other because now it meant the world now knew about it and it was going to be hard because not only news were near this rift but so were scientists, military, and government agencies now littered around this thing. They had talked about checking on what's on the other side! No, no, no! I remember slamming my hand down onto the table while Dash growled. They couldn't get near that thing, there was no telling where they'd end up. Hell, there was no clear indication that it'd go back to Equestria but if it did...I didn't want to think about it. There was no time now. I told Dash that she needed to get ready immediately, we were driving out as soon as possible and she didn't think twice about it. She dashed out of my office, some things breaking to the ground but I didn't care about it at the time. I looked at the coffee that I still didn't drink, I was staring at it but I decided not to enjoy it. I stashed the cup of coffee in my microwave and closed the small door. I stood there thinking, the adrenaline running through my veins, my heart beat and the mixture of fear and excitement coming over me. It was official, I lost my mind. I was going to have to beat the military and the world to this rift with Dash in order to get her home. I could only hope that they are waiting still to go inside because it might be dangerous. I took a look around my house as I thought this might be the last time I would see it at it's glory...no, scratch that, I knew this would be the last time I'd see it but not for the reasons I would've guessed. The universe itself had a plan for me, a big plan...so big that I wouldn't be able to wrap my head around it. It seems I was chosen to journey outside of my own world and into another. Yet I did not know this but at the time, in the back of my head, I felt like something was going to happen that was outside of my control. Like my story was just beginning and meeting Dash was just the tip of the iceberg. I had no idea what was going to happen next but my story was far from over. I was content with my life before but now just like I had thought, my life wasn't going to be the same. Problem was, it was about to get more crazier than I ever would've imagined. Dash had came to me but she didn't say anything, she knew I was lost in thought. She knew that I could very well lose my life in this whole thing and she made a silent vow that no matter what, we both was going to make it through this even if I had to come to Equestria with her. After coming back to my senses, I went upstairs and did everything I could to get myself ready. This was it, no turning back now. I can only hope that if I died during this, Dash would at least get back to Equestria and back to her friends. She was the Element of Loyalty and Equestria needed her element is what she told me one day during our random conversations. I intend on putting everything on the line to make sure that her world has her back and I won't let anyone stop her or me from making that happen. Heh. Look at me, I'm saying all of this and I haven't done anything yet...or so I thought. What we were doing set things in motion on a grander scale that Dash and I could realize. Now the question about all of this was if we were ready for what might happen. Yes, yes we were. It was time I got Dash home and maybe in some small way be a hero in her eyes then maybe Equestria as an extension. Man, the way I was thinking, I thought I would die doing this and boy was the universe had a surprise for me! I came back downstairs dressed in a outfit that made me look like some kind of rouge wizard and I had a staff. Okay, I used to cosplay, don't judge. I felt like a badass for a moment and even Dash gave me a compliment. I grabbed my car keys then we headed out of the door then got into the car before anyone could see us. Alright, it was time for us to go. I said my goodbyes to everything and I even left a note for my friend inside my room in case he came to look for me. It was time for me to be remembered in the annuals of history...too bad it wasn't going to happen the way I wanted to but life is full of surprises. It'd be boring if you knew what would happen at every turn. Also, to you reading this, the next letter is going to be my last. It was fun to write this but until Dash gets where she needs to be, you probably won't see another after the last one. Bye for now! Sighed, Saren Crimson. Letter 3 of 4
