"Well this is going to take a while. Hey, Spike, could you help me find a book that is about getting secret spells?" Twilight had never heard of secret spells, so she figured it would take too long to find the book without any help.

"Sure thing, Twilight!" Spike replied.

"Hmm, 'Your Guide to Potions', 'The Secret In the Stars', 'Speed Swimming', ugh, where could it be?" Twilight quietly said to herself.

"Hey, Twilight, I found something! It's called 'The Guide to Secret Spells'!" Spike exclaimed.

"Thanks Spike! You can go do, um, whatever you usually do. I need to read this book," Twilight opened the book and started reading.

"To take advantage of a secret spell, you have to be a unicorn. Assuming you are, you need to mix up water, crushed fillyflower, and rainbow. Once you've mixed these up, you need to rub the liquid on the physical spell gem, and concentrate. You need to think of happy things. If you do all of this correctly, you should be able to use the spell whenever you want," Twilight read to herself. "Okay, water I have, I can ask Rainbow Dash for the rainbow, but what is fillyflower? I think I'm going to need Zecora for this," Twilight left her home, and went into the Everfree Forest.

When Twilight reached Zecora's house, she was surprised to see Zecora in front of her house, watering some plants. "Oh, hi Zecora. I was just wondering if you knew where to find 'fillyflower'," said Twilight.

"To find fillyflower, you must be very brave. Brave enough to journey into Killer Bat Cave. After the mission, believe me you will tire. But your reward is fillyflower, your heart's current desire," Zecora replied.

"Oh, thanks Zecora! I've read about Killer Bat Cave in my books, and I'm ready!" Twilight ran in the direction that lead to Killer Bat Cave, unaware of the danger she was going to face.

As Twilight got closer to Killer Bat Cave, the forest started to get quieter, the plants around her started to get uglier, and Twilight started lose confidence. That's when she realized she couldn't do this alone. She needed her friends, so she went back.

The first pony Twilight asked was Applejack. Unfortunately, she had some personal stuff to straighten out so she couldn't. Next was Rainbow Dash. She was an obvious yes. After Rainbow Dash, Twilight asked Pinkie Pie, but she had to bake some cupcakes at Sugarcube Corner. After that, Twilight asked Rarity. Obviously, she said no. Finally, Twilight asked Fluttershy. Almost anyone would expect a no from Fluttershy with this question, but for some reason, she said yes. Fluttershy told Twilight Sparkle that she wanted to try and not be so shy anymore, so she wanted to come along.

After Twilight got Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, the three dashed for the cave. As they got closer to the cave, they started to see bats in the trees, staring at them. They ignored them and continued onward. After a while, they reached the cave.

"It looks, um, 'spookier' than the pictures I saw in my books," Twilight said.

"So,  are we gonna go in?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yeah, let's enter," replied Twilight. The three entered the cave, not realizing that they just walked into one of the most dangerous places in Equestria.
