The Chaos Chronicles

Twilight was soundly asleep in her bed. She had been up all night studying a new masculinity enhancing spell. Needless to say it didn't work, much to Spike's disappointment.
She was awoken by the sound of books crashing to the floor.
"Spike?...What are you doing?" Twilight lazily asked as she got out of bed.
"Oh your up! I'm just packing all the books you might need."
Twilight was confused. "Why would we need to pack?"
"Haven't you heard?" Spike asked.
"Heard what? I've been asleep since 2AM." Twilight said with a yawn.
"Oh ya. Well this morning everyone was told that we needed to evacuate to the Crystal Empire because of a possible changeling attack."
"Oh okay...wait WHAT?!" Twilight screamed, once she realized what Spike had said. "When did hear this?"
Spike thought to himself. "Just a couple of hours ago I think."
"Where is everyone?"
"Most people are still here, packing up there things."
"Alright, ok, stay calm."
Twilight said.
"I'm perfectly calm Twilight."
"I wasn't talking to you!"
Spike looked somewhat hurt by the comment.
"Oh Spike, you know I'm not mad at you, it's just that Ive gotten pretty stressed in the last minute."
Twilight said, trying to console Spike.
"I know..." Spike said flatly.
Both Twilight and spike were silent as they started to pick up the books Spike had dropped earlier. They were almost done when Spike started to feel a rumble in his stomach. Twilight looked at him knowing what would happen. And just as Twilight mentally predicted what would happen, Spike burped up a letter. Twilight picked it up.

My most faithful student,
There are troubling times ahead of us Twilight. As you have most likely heard by now, Crysallis has attacked Camterlot with her army of changelings, with Discord and Nightmare Moon at her side.

"Discord? Nightmare Moon?" Twilight continued to read the letter.

Now before you leave ponyvillie to head towards the Crystal Empire I need you to round up your friends and gather the elements of harmony. They are going to be crucial in the fight against Chrysallis. And once you have them make sure you and your friends stick together at ALL TIMES.

Sincerely,
Princess Celestia

"What's it say Twilight?" Spike asked.
"Celestia wants me to gather up our friends and get the elements of harmony before we leave to the Crystal Empire."
"We'll that seems like a good idea, you go get them and I'll finish packing." Spike said.
"Ok." Twilight paused. "Spike?"
"Ya Twi?"
"I'm going to need to pack your own things and head down to Sweet Apple Acres and go to the Crystal Empire with the Apples." Twilight said.
"Why?!" Spike asked.
"Because I know that my friends and I are going to be a big target for Chrysallis seeing that we bear the elements of harmony."
"But--"
"But nothing! This is going to be dangerous and I don't want you to get hurt. The Apples will take care of you."
"Okay..." Spike said deflated.
"Hey, we'll only be separated for a few days at most." Twilight said encouragingly.
"Okay Twilight." Said Spike.
"It's going to be okay, trust me. I just wouldn't want anything to happen to my number one assistant." Twilight said, putting a hoof on Spikes shoulder.
"Twilight?"
"Yes, Spike?"
Spike turned to look Twilight in the eyes. "Stay safe. Please."
Twilight returned the gaze. "I will, don't worry." Twilight looked out the window. "Ok I'm going to go get the girls together, I'll see you when I come back for my crown."
"Ok, I'll see you then."
With everything in order Twilight turned and headed out the door.
Outside she saw ponies frantically trying to get all of their needed belongings together. Twilight decided she'd start looking for here friends at Sugercube Corner. Few words were said from the ponies of ponyvillie. Only a few remarks were made on wether or not something was necessary to bring along. Occasionally a filly could be heard crying about having to leave their home. But other than that, silence.
When Twilight arrived Sugarcube Corner she instantly saw Pinkie Pie and Rarity trying to console Fluttershy right outside of the doors.
"Darling it's going to be fine, I know it's tough but there's no possible way you can bring EVERY animal to the Crystal Empire with you to the Crystal Empire." Rarity said.
"And all of your animals are like, REALLY super duper smart so I'm sure they can take care of themselves until this is all over." Pinkie said trying to be as encouraging as possible. "Oh hi Twilight!"
"Hi Pinkie, I see that this might not be the most appropriate time but there isn't going be any other time so I'll just tell you guys what I need you to do. Before we leave I need you to get your pieces of the elements of harmony and meet me back here, Okay?"
"Can do, darling."
"Sure thing Twi!"
"okay..."
Twilight looked down at Fluttershy. "Fluttershy, I'm going to need you to get Rainbowdash down from Cloudsdale, is that alright?"
"Ya..." Fluttershy said quietly.
"Great, I'm going to go get Applejack and meet you guys back here." Twilight then promptly turned around and started heading to Sweet Apple Acres.

Twilight trotted down the dirt path that lead to the Apples' barn. She found Applejack packing supplies into a wagon being pulled by Big Mac.
"Applejack!" Twilight yelled in greeting.
"Oh hey Twi!" Applejack said, turning away from her work.
"Applejack, this is very important, I need you to grab your piece of the element of harmony and head down to Sugarcube Corner right way." Twilight said.
"Sure thing Sugarcube, just let me finish loadin' up this here wagon. I'm almost done and I'll head right out in a sec." Said Appkejack as she continued to load up their wagon.
"Great, I'll see you in a bit."
Twilight turned to Big Mac. "Big Mac, I told Spike that he could travel with your family to the Crystal Empire, that won't be a problem won't it?"
"Nope."
"And can you make sure he doesn't get too upset, he doesn't like it when were separated for long periods of time. It's just that it won't be safe to travel with me."
"Eeyup."
"Oh thank you so much Big Mac, your a life saver!"
"Eeyup."
Twilight gave Big Mac and Applejack a nod and headed back to the library.

"Okay, so far everything is going smoothly, great."
Twilight opened her door to find her house seemingly empty.
"Spike?" Twilight paused expecting an answer. She didn't get one.
"Spike?" Still no answer.
"He must have already headed out to Sweet Apple Acres." Twilight started looking around the library. "I didn't see him on my way back though." Twilight started to think. "He probably just took a different route." Twilight nodded in agreement with herself. "Ya that's it, now where's my crown?" Twilight started to look around her home. She grabbed a saddle bag and started filling it with food and supplies.
She came to her bed and looked to her nightstand to see her crown lying on top of it. "That's not where I left my crown." But Twilight didn't pay much attention to it and put it into her saddlebag.
After she finished getting all the supplies she thought she would need she headed out back to Sugarcube Corner.

"Where's Fluttershy and Rainbowdash?" Twilight asked as she approached her friends outside Sugarcube Corner.
"I dunno Twi, they just haven't showed up." Appkejack said.
Just as Applejack said that Fluttershy gently flew down and joined the group.
"Where's Rainbowdash?" Twilight asked.
Fluttershy looked down at the ground. "She ummm....didn't want to come."
"What do you mean she didn't want to come?!" Twilight asked with a raised voice.
Fluttershy started to sink low to the ground. "She said that she needed to help fight for Celestia and that she wanted to leave as soon as possible."
"Did you try to stop her!?" Twilight asked, raising her voice more.
Fluttershy sank even lower. "Every time I tried to convince her not to go she would just cut me o---"
"GAH! We need all six of us to head out together! You know what, that's okay. Maybe we still have a chance to reach her and convince her not to go yet." Twilight said.
"Um, Twi?" Applejack pointed to the sky. "I dunno bout' that."
Twilight looked up into the sky in frustration to see an expanding multicolored circle connected to a shooting streak of rainbow, heading straight towards the Crystal Empire.
