Twilight can't feeling anything but the uneasiness as she looks out the window of the dark area. The sun should have been up by now. Maybe she was wrong? After all, Celestia would never be late with something like the sun. She bites her bottom lip nervously. Maybe it was still early? A knock comes at her door. She goes down and answer it to find Rainbowdash standing there.

"Twilight! A lot of ponies are saying that they saw Lyra return from the Everfree forest and she wants to talk to you! She said something about humans and Discord."

Twilight whitens a little. She looks to the skies again hoping to see the sun rising a bit. She doesn't. It couldn't be could it? There is no way they made a big trip like that to Canterlot... Could they? Perhaps with the help of Discord...?

"Also, do you know why the sun isn't up?"

Twilight shakes her head slowly her mind half lost in reality and half in her thoughts. She is really counting on nothing bad happening today. But something really throwing her off today. She can't put a hoof on it, but something about it doesn't feel right. She ignores the feeling and goes with Rainbowdash to Lyra's house. Lyra is pacing outside and when she sees Twilight she beams and runs over to her franticly. She levitates a book out of her saddle bag and quickly shoves it in front of her. The language on the front looks very foreign. Almost ancient.

"Twilight! This is a book about humans! I saw the one from before talking to two others and Discord in the forest about taking revenge against Celestia! I was thinking of giving them this book in order to get them to decipher the stuff I don't know, but after I saw what they did I really don't think I should... So I figured I should give it to you instead since you're a braniac when it comes to stuff like this!"

It was somewhat true. Twilight has studied many common languages. But that's the fact about it. Common language and this was the most uncommon language she has ever seen. Maybe she could write Celestia about it.

"I'll see what I can do. Also, I'm going to have to speak to Fluttershy about Discord...." Twilight says taking the book and starting her trek back to her home.

"Twilight. I really doubt that Fluttershy will tell you anything if she knows something if it means that we'll hurt them. Plus after what happened yesterday... I don't think she'll be up for any conversation at all." Rainbowdash says huffing, "Plus if Applejack catches wind, than we know she'll but in and try to defend Fluttershy."

"Well. You're her friend still right?"

"Yea?"

"Well see what you can do. We need information. Try to play it off as you trying to take up a report for me for Celestia or something along that line. Meanwhile... I'll see what I can do about this book."

Twilight walks into her home and lays the book on the reading stand in the middle of the room where she begins scouring the pages of the book.

Caleb was the first to wake up this morning. He knew this was definitely odd. He never did wake up early unless. Dread filled his entire body. He knew only one reason why he got up early. He looked over at Indie who was just now getting up drunkenly. He never liked this day. Nobody did except for-

"Mornin guys!" Markus says more awake than everybody else.

Caleb and Indie just groan at how happy he is about this day. Nobody was suppose to be happy on this day... or at least that's what they've always been told. But Markus has always been different than everybody else. The only thing they were happy about was not waking up to find themselves inside of a cage again. Caleb yawns and looks up to see a creature floating above them with a wide grin on his face.

"Whaaa." He stutters out before remembering last nights events.

"Oh that's right... Discord right?" Caleb asks standing up and stretching.

Indie didn't even bother with getting up and started stretching his upper body while sitting. Markus just got up and stood there with a giant smile on his face. Curse his enthusiasm.

"That's right! You do need to cheer up. Today is a fresh start after all!" Discord says chuckling as the other twos dismay, "But here's a pick me up! You'll have an inside man now to learn how to defeat Celestia and your eyes and ears for danger!"

"And what can you do against Celestia?" Caleb asks scratching his head.

"Like her, I am also immortal. As the holder of the element of chaos, I can do a lot of things that Celestia can't. For example."

He snaps his fingers and an apple appears in his hands.

"Okay an apple? What about it?"

Discord throws the apple up into the air for it to explode wit confetti and fireworks. All three boys were surprised by the spectacular event.

"That's is not possible!" Markus says still starring at the sky.

"Yes, but I can make the impossible possible! That's what chaos is my boy." Discord says proud of himself.

The three boys exchange glances. They all nod their heads and looks at Discord.

"Welcome to the team!" They say together.

Luna just felt off. She couldn't quite place it, but something was off about today. Usually after making way for the sun Celestia would already be up raising the sun. She had ordered some guards to go check on her while she told her own branch of guards to go check on her side of the castle to make sure everything is in order.

The guards looked tense when she gave them the order and they seemed to want to ask her something, but they just followed the order. Luna didn't want to admit it... but she really didn't want to trust her own sister anymore. Something about how the humans escaped just flicked something in her mind. As if they awakened something that's been dormant.

"Good morning Lulu." Celestia says walking up behind her.

Luna jumps a bit and turns around hastily stuttering with her words.

"M-M-Morning sister!"

"Is everything alright?"

"Yea... I just got caught up in my thoughts..." Luna says looking towards the ground.

"Ah... well do you think you can help me with the sun this morning? I stayed up late last night tending to some things.

Usually she would just tell me what she was doing...

"Sure Tia. But if you don't mind me asking, what were you up to?"

"Don't worry about it Lulu. You'll find out soon enough." Tia says with a wide grin.

Luna nods her head and touches her horn with her dear sister. They channel their magic and the sun begins to rise. As well as the distrust.

Twilight couldn't stop. She just kept reading and trying her best to decipher the words. The equestrian language seemed to be based off the human language but she can't quite seem to understand it well enough. Ever since Lyra brought certain news to her attention, she has been non stop reading the book. She just recently sent Lyra upstairs to fetch spike to tell him what to write. Things were getting even more tense than yesterday between her friends already.

This morning she shared bitter words with Rarity. She didn't want to be mean to her friends, but she didn't know how to deal with a situation like this.

Come on Twilight! Try harder!

She stops and takes a giant glug of her water. She can see the sun rising now and she had promised herself sleep when the sun came up, but now matters have changed. Despite how much she thinks about sleep she just can't let the matters go as they are.

"Spike and Lyra! Are you done?"

Lyra comes down with Spike nodding his head.

"Just sent it off Twilight. Have you been down here studying the entire time?"

Twilight flattens her ears.

"Yes! But its an emergency! I promise nothing like last time will happen..."

"I know Twilight... but you need your rest. You know how you get without your sleep." Spike says putting a claw around Twilight's shoulders, "Now go up to bed. Me and Lyra will take it from here right?"

"Right!" Lyra says with determination, "I really don't want them to get hurt, but I don't want Discord to take over either so I'm willing to do what is needed."

Lyra seemed to get a bit depressed after saying these words. A unicorn of her stature who has been nothing but obsessed with all different types of ancient creatures hates to see something of such history get damaged. But she also realizes that things happen for a reason. She just can't figure out this reason.

Twilight was still determined to help, but a stern Spike finally convinced her to go to bed.

Twilight heads up to bed and sleeps. Spike sighs also tired but determined to help Twilight out. He'll just fight against this fatigue to help her. But he does feel a bit off. He looks over at the calendar and groans in annoyance. He just found out his reason for his extreme fatigue.

"I hate Mondays..." Spike says as they begin to scan the books piled around.
