Donnie walked alongside Leo through town. A lot of ponies welcomed them, saying they'd never seen them before and that they were in good hooves with Applejack.

"This is a really nice town," the purple-banded pony commented.

"They've never really faced a real problem. And if they did, friendship was the answer."

"Why is it always friendship with you guys?" Raph shifted the belt holding his Sais around his waist.

"I don't really know. That's jus' how it's been from the beginning."

They approached a large castle and Applejack casually pushed the doors open.

Leo and Donnie gasped. "AJ don't you have any manners?!" Leo cried, appalled.

"This is obviously the castle of a princess! You don't just ba-"

"Oh hey AJ." A small purple and green dragon appeared in the doorway.

"Heya Spike. You remember Leo, Donnie 'n Raph right?"

"Of course I do!" The scales near his ears perked. "Wow it's really cool to see you guys here! Come on! Twilight will be really excited to see you!" He scuttled off down the hall.

Raph stepped in beside Applejack. "I didn't expect him to be a dragon."

"He's pretty helpful."

Spike pushed open the doors to the library. Donnie looked up in awe at the floating books as Twilight magically perused her collection.

"Who is it?" Twilight mumbled, muzzle buried in a book.

"AJ brought your friends from New York."

There was a loud thud as all the books collectively fell to the floor and she looked up.

Donnie smiled. She was still so pretty.

"How?! The only portal is over there!" She pointed to the mirror.

"Found 'em on my land. Said somethin' 'bout an invasion."

"I'm afraid some of our enemies opened a portal to your world and have started the invasion process." Leo bowed his head. "We deeply apologize, your majesty."

Twilight flushed. "P-please don't call me that. Save it for Celestia."

Raph smirked.

"Do y'all have any way to fight 'em?"

"We still have our weapons." Donnie explained. He tried and failed to pull his staff out, watching as it clattered to the ground, ears flattening. "But it's a little difficult to use them in these new bodies."

Twilight raised her head. "Well then. Let's get training."
