A mission from celestia

Princess Twilight Sparkle and company had been called to Canterlot for a very important mission, as she got off of the train with her friends Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow dash, Applejack, and her number one assistant spike, they all were curious as to why Celestia asked them to come on such short notice.

“So why exactly did Celestia want us to come here?” inquired Rainbow Dash as she flew over top of the party.
“Did someone say party!?” squealed the ever-so random Pinkie Pie
“Uh, no, no one did... anyway, as I was asking, why did Celestia ask us to come here all of a sudden, I was busy practicing some new flying tricks that are sure to make me captain of the Wonderbolts!”

“Your guess is as good as mine Rainbow Dash darling,” spoke rarity “Oh Spikey wikey! Please take good care not to drop any of my luggage!”
“I wouldn't dream of doing it!” the purple dragon said with hearts in his eyes as he carefully carried over twenty suitcases, carry-on bags, purses, satchels, and other luggage.

“Gee Rarity, did ya remember to pack?” asked Applejack jokingly.
“As I kept insisting, it was the bare minimum necessities!” defended Rarity
“A portable magic powered hooficure de-vice is a bare necessity?”
“Well lets see who has the last laugh when you are dying to have a relaxing hooficure and you need to ask me to let you use it!”

then, the mane six reached the gates of Canterlot castle two guards were stationed upon either side, one recognized Twilight and opened the doors for her and her entourage.

In the throne room.....

“Princess Celestia,” spoke Twilight to her mentor “We are here, you said you needed to see us?”

“yes, yes I did,” spoke Celestia “Princess Twilight Sparkle and company, I have gotten word of a magical creature that lives inside the everfree forest.... a creature that can grant any wish!”

suddenly the mane six gasped in wonder.

“You mean that this creature can grant what anypony wishes?” spoke Fluttershy.
“Yes, though practically anything relating to him or even mentioning him in our libraries vaguely refer to him as the wish giver,” started Celestia. “A book from the crystal empire has more information.... this book is King Sombra's diary!”

“KING SOMBRA!?” everypony exclaimed in confusion.
“Yes, apparently King Sombra wished for power, thus this creature made the alicorn amulet. The amulet corrupted Sombra, warping him into an evil unicorn with a soul drowned in darkness and corruption, the creature then took the amulet, causing sombra to seek another source of power... the crystal empire.”

“And you want us to find this guy?” asked Rainbow Dash. “No problem! We can find that guy in like a day at the most!”

“Yes, but I would prefer it if you would ask him to come to Canterlot so I may ask him some questions.” Celestia turned away from the group.

“Princess Celestia, you can count on us-” Twilight was suddenly interrupted by Pinkie Pie,
“Hold on a second! Where do we even find where this guy lives? And even if we find it, how are we gonna know who he is? What does he look like? What's his favorite ice-cream? Do you have any snacks? And if we do find him, how are we gonna even know what to say to him?”

an awkward silence enveloped the hall.

“ I have a map” Celestia mentioned
“Okie dokie lokie!”
“Now, you all must go in search of this creature, from what I gathered from Sombra's diary, his name is Insanity”

and with that Celestia left the hall for the six ponies and dragon to ponder and discuss the mission they had just received.

“A wish granting creature!” squealed Fluttershy in excitement, “I wonder if we can each get a wish! I'd really like some courage.”
“Fluttershy, you're already courageous in our eyes,” spoke Applejack, “ But I would like a wish granted mahself.”
“And, um, what would you wish for?” asked Fluttershy
“I'd rather not talk about it...”

“Well I'm obviously gonna wish to be captain of the Wonderbolts!” exclaimed Rainbow Dash.
“Wouldn't that be taking the easy way?” inquired Rarity
“It isn't taking the easy way out when its destiny! I'm just speeding up the process!”
“Still, you should truly think your wish a bit more carefully Dahling.”
“And what will you wish for?” asked Rainbow Dash
“A proper lady never tells.”
“Lame”

“I'm gonna wish for endless chocolate!” exclaimed Pinkie Pie
“Uh, Pinkie, if you wish for endless chocolate, equestria will become covered by chocolate indefinitely!” Twilight pointed out
“Oh, well then i'll wish for a soda!”
“You're going to waste your wish on a soda?”
“Then how about the ability to read minds! No, that isn't good enough, an elephant! No, a giant Pygmy rhinoceros! No, a full set of doctor's tools!”
“Um, what for?” asked Twilight.
“To play doctor!”
“Okay....weird..”
“What are you gonna wish for Twilight?!”
“I honestly don't know what to wish for-”
“I know! How about every book ever written! I bet you'd love love LOVE that! Or how about some kind of ancient spell that nopony has ever laid hooves on in like a Bajillion kirbillioan years!”

“I honestly think that these wishes should probably be thought out more carefully!” Twilight exclaimed. “I mean, say I wished for every book ever written, I would probably be crushed to death under an immense pile of books! Or what if the reason this spell hasn't been used for that long is because it holds knowledge that nopony was ever meant to know?!”

an akward silence enveloped the hall

“Bahaha! That is just like you Twilight!” Rainbow Dash laugh out “Over-thinking everything just like the egghead you are! Bahahaha!”
“I am just saying that without thinking our wishes through, who is to say we won't end up becoming like king Sombra?”
“And what terrible thing would exactly happen if I become captain of the wonderbolts? would I blow up pony's minds with my awesomeness? Would ponies explode if they weren't twenty percent cooler? Would there be riots starting in order to become president of my fan club? Twilight, you're such an egghead!”
“All I am saying Rainbow Dash is a simple and very wise phrase, Be very careful what you wish for!”
