“Oh, I was just telling Spike here that I would be spending the day with her in her world,” I explained.
“Have fun then, and tell her I said ‘hi’,” Twilight said with a smile.
A few minutes later, I had an old leather jacket of mine, and was ready to go through the portal. I stepped into the mirror, bracing myself for the trip though. Just like last time, it was bright, disorienting, and needlessly painful. Luckily, it was also short.
