When Trouble Comes: A sequel to "Through the other Dimension"

Chapter 1: Lance's POV

I read Destiny's letter from my Communication Journal over and over again. I had to make I wasn't going blind or skipping any words or letters, but so far I wasn't. I leaned back against my desk chair, thinking of what to do.

Des asked me to ask Twilight about Sonic Thunder's sudden appearance in that other dimension, I thought, so I guess I have no choice. Still not believing any of this nonsense of Sonic Thunder, I grudged off of my chair to my desk and got out my pack, placed my Communication Journal in it so that Twilight can see for herself, and went out the door of my little home.

"Morning Lance," Fluttershy said in her usual quiet voice as I walked the path to PonyVille.

"Morning." I waved and continued to Twilight's Castle. I finally made it to PonyVille, and spotted my marefriend, Rainbow Dash, doing her usual thing, which was knocking the clouds out of the sky. I was about to shout hello, but than again, I didn't want to interrupt her job, so I continued to Twilight's Castle.

"Hey, Lance," Applebloom continued as she approached me along with Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo, "could you pretty please help us get our cutie marks today."

"We're gonna try to get our helping cutie marks," Scootaloo interjected, "please?" The three fillies did their begging faces. Well, I guess they could help me just this once...

"Alright, but you guys are helping me today in order to get your helping cutie marks." The girls squealed full of glee. These fillies are cute, but they're gonna make me deaf!

"So, what do you need help with?" Asked Sweetie Bell who looked around. I looked around and spotted Sugarcube Corner next to a flower shop. Perfect.

"Do you see Sugarcube Corner and that flower shop?" I asked the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

"Yeah, so..." Applejack seemed apparently not impressed.

"I need you to get Rainbow Dash a Cupcake and some of Dandelions from those two stores," I stated as I gave Sweetie Bell some Bits to get the items, "and tell Rainbow Dash that I love her."

"AWWWWW!!!!" The fillies awed while going to Sugarcube Corner to get a Cupcake. That takes care of showing Rainbow my love and helping the Cutie Mark Crusaders at once. I continued to Twilight's Castle and finally made it. Flash Sentry stood on guard at the front gate.

"Morning Flash," I greeted him.

"Morning, Sunshine," he replied sarcastically. I gritted my teeth, "what brings you here?"

"First of all, only Destiny can call me Sunshine, and second, I'm here to talk to Twilight about something, or someone, that Destiny discovered in that other dimension," I stated.

"Alright, I'll let you in, but..."

"I know, I know, you're gonna lead me inside so that you can see your marefriend." Flash Sentry blushed.

"No, for security purposes!"

"Ah ha! Keep talking, Flash," I sarcastically stated as we trotted into the throne room. There, Twilight was reading on her throne, while Rarity was wiping her throne, like always.

"Your highness," Flash Sentry bowed.

"Flash, you know you don't have to bow, right? Not even Lance is bowing," Twilight stated as she placed her book down and got off to greet us. Twilight kissed Flash lightly on the cheek, and she came in front of me.

"What's the matter, Lance?" Twilight asked, sensing my confusion. I levitated my Communication Journal out of my pack and turned to where Destiny wrote her letter, and showed it to Twilight. She read it over a couple of times and looked as stunned, but not surprised, as I was.
