She flinched.

   Twilight Sparkle woke up, finding herself in an open field. She was in the middle of nowhere probably not in Equestria. "Where am I?" Twilight thought. She couldn't remember how she got there. She couldn't remember. She had no memory. Twilight sat down, rested her head on her hooves, and cried herself to sleep.

   The bridge was amazing. Magnificent detail, beautiful designs, and all the lights lighting it up like Hearths Warming Eve. She tripped. She was so busy admiring the detail, she hadn't realized she reached the end. She stood up, now seeing a house in front of her.

   'GO NOW! THE BRIDGE ISN'T WHAT IT SEEMS! IT'S A- Twilight gasped and ran out of the cave. She kept running. Across th bridge, down the path and back to where she woke up. She panted and tried to slow her breathing. She then notice a small brick home onthe edge of the forest. It was her last chance on finding another pony.

That was the scariest part of the day. Fantasy had brought her here. Fantasy brought the bridge back. Fantasy had offically declared war on reality.

Chapter 1: Let's Get Ready.

  Twilight Sparkle and Midnight Star tried there best to get over what had happened moments before. The fantasy world was taking over reality and it wasn't showing any signs of stopping. Twilight, on the other hoof, wanted to stop it. She wasn't going to let it win, not after what it put her through. She wanted to stop the main source of the cause. She had to- Oh dear. She had to stop the on creature she had feared as a filly. The one that brought fantasy and chaos worse than Discord himself. She had to stop...

   She fell backwards, suprising Midnight. "What's wrong? He asked. Twilight tried to slow her breathing, again, and stood up.

   "It's him."

   "Who?"

   "The one who scared me the most as a filly. Lunar Nightmare." Twilight stated. Midnight stood confused.

   "That one character from that horror story?" Twilight nodded.

   "I wouldn't expect a mare to read a horror novel."

   "I'm a librarian." Twilight said. Midnight decided not to argue, so he accepted the fact. Twilight tried to recall the said story. "Lunar Nightmare. Master of fantasy and horror beyond all thought. The one who destroyed ponies in his factory(Not the Rainbow Factory.) and used there ----- for chaos. Making puppets come to life, frightening little children so bad, they slept with there lights on for weeks." Twilight finished. Midnight took some time to take in all she had said. "But that's just an old ponytale." Midnight finally said. Twilight agreed but sad.

   " I know, but fantasy is the one who did all this. I mean everypony thought Nightmare Moon was and old ponytale, but she turned out to be real."

"Point taken." Midnight stated. Twilight stood up and walked outside. She just wanted to go home she needed her friends- Her friends! Why didn't she think of this before? She could just call the Elements of Harmony and her friends could help her stop fantasy!

   Slowly, she called on her magic, it was confusing at first, but she was able to track them down. Ponyville was... five thousand miles away. Oh sweet Celestia, thank goodness she was still in Equestria. But with all the distance between her and Ponyville, it would take hours to get them by her side. She poured more magic into her horn and with a small pop, her magic created a small portal. One looking into the library. She couldn't walk through it, but she could pull things through it. She quickly pulled the familiar chest through and shut her magic off, closing the portal. Twilight put her tiara on and was ready to call onto her friends.

   Honesty. She held the element in front of her and with a spark, Applejack fell to the ground out of knowwhere. "Twi!" Applejack said. After looking around, her smile faded. "Twilight, where in the hay are we?" Twilight shook her head. "There's no time to explain. I need our friends help." Applejack just nodded and went to stand by Twilight.

   Generosity. Doing the same with the other element, Rarity fell where Applejack once stood. "Eewww. Oh how I simply despise dirt." Rarity grumbled. After the run down, Rarity sighed and stood next to her friends.

   Loyalty. Again with the sam spark, Rainbow Dash flew strait into the ground. "Hey, what gives? Twilight!" Rainbow said, seeing her unicorn friend. With the same rundown, Rainbow saluted and joined her friends.

   Laughter. Again with the same magic, Pinkie Pie smiled with delight  as she fell to the ground. "Yay! It's Twilight! Where have you been?" Pinkie said.

   "Long story." Pinkie nodded and bounced over to her friends.

   And Kindness. With one final pop, Fluttershy fell to the ground. "W-where are we." Fluttershy asked. Twilight was more than ready to give the explanation. "I woke up in this field with no memory. I found an amazing bridge that turned out to be a danger. I met a stallion that lives nearby. We encountered a disembodied voice and now fantasy is trying to take over reality." Twilight said. They all seemed, strangely, to now what was going on. She was happy to see her friends again. She had so many questions of what had been going on in Ponyville since her disappearance. But all that had to wait. One thing sat in Twilights mind for that moment. It's time to get ready. Twilight led them to Midnight's house. "Who are they?" Midnight asked.

   Twilight let them in and gave the introduction. "Midnight, meet the Elements of Harmony."
