[Spike is back to cleaning up the library as he dictates into the journal, somewhat cheerfully. The horrors of the nightmares are done, and being back in Ponyville, even if it was only for a short time, has given the baby dragon a new lease of life]

So, that was a pretty weird couple of days, right? I never thought Paradisa would send us to Equestria of all places. I thought it preferred...you know horrible screaming places. Not that I'm complaining, it was really nice to go home again, even if everypony who should have been there was missing.

Guess Paradisa wasn't gonna make it that easy.

[Pause]

So did anypony actually learn anything from the experience? Or are you guys still gonna just complain and miss the whole magic of friendship lesson? ...I'm guessing not. You're lucky Zecora was around to send us back. Hope you thanked her.

[He's a little annoyed HE got sent back, too. But hey, there's plenty of time for going home, and right now, he has people here who need him]

[wilder]

You mean aside from a new found appreciation from hands that I'm sure we all have now?

Hmmm, I learned it's really hard to get any sleep when your wings glow.

[huffythedragon]

Okay, I can give you the hands thing. Though if you stayed longer you could have learned levitating powers.

...We gave you a blanket dude. [Quit complaining, god]

[wilder]

Wait is that how they do it?

[NEVER] Yeah but I could still see iiiit.

[huffythedragon]

Sure, the unicorns and the alicorns, anyway. They're the ponies who can learn magic spells.

I could have got you a blindfold.

[wilder]

I was an alicorn, right? What do the others do?

I don't know...I think I'd still feel like I know it was there. Glowing.

[huffythedragon]

That's right, you were an alicorn. They're the most powerful of the ponies, usually royalty. Then you have the unicorns, who have the power of magic. Then the pegasi, who can control the weather and fly. Aaaand finally you have the earth ponies, who can look after the land and grow food.

Welll...it could have been worse?

[wilder]

I meant...with the whole hands problem. But that's good to know too.

...Don't give this place ideas.

[huffythedragon]

Oh...Well they just learn to use their hooves. No big deal.

This place doesn't need ideas to suck.

[wilder]

[Zelos could argue that probably is why the social hierarchy is the way it is...but meh details that'll probably go over a kids head] I see.

You still don't have to help it!

[huffythedragon]

[They will totally go over his head. Boy was raised in a castle what's the class system]

It's not like I wrote it instructions, dude.

[wilder]

Nnngh, whatever.

Least things are back to normal for now.

[huffythedragon]

For most of us, anyway.

[wilder]

Most of us?

[huffythedragon]

I think there might be some...residual issues.

[wilder]

What?

What kind of residual issues?

[huffythedragon]

Some guy was asking if everyone was turned back to normal and then asked if ponies ate cheese.

[wilder]

Really, huh....

[Brb checking to make sure he's entirely back to normal and there's no horrible surprises. You might even hear the sound of really large wings flapping a little too]

[huffythedragon]

[SILENCE]

...You okay, bro?

[wilder]

[another pause and...]

Ahaha yep! Everything's just fine!

[huffythedragon]

'Cause you're making weird sounds.

[wilder]

Really? I didn't hear anything weird.

[huffythedragon]

It sounded like birds.

[wilder]

[a pause...oh]

..Sure a bird didn't fly by or something?

[huffythedragon]

I don't...think so.

[wilder]

[Dang, he thought you'd be gullible. Now it's time to just evade and ignore]

Yeah well, just checking to make sure nothing went wrong with changing back- but it looks like I'm just fine.
