Sweetie Belle Finds a Gun

One must wonder what does a bullet do when it misses? Well usually they naturally embed themselves within whatever objects are nearby, this is of course not counting bullets that are fired into the air. Those bullets which transcend upwards into the atmosphere are caught by the ghost of Kay Zoo of the Fourth Rock who captures the rounds and stocks them for his nefarious and inevitable invasion of the mortal plain to force the realm of Earth into an eternity of serenity by deathlessness. However, the bullet in question that had missed its target of Diamond Tiara is not one that had been fired into the air but rather had traveled to a tree house inhabited by a purple alicorn princess who was now checking her mail.

“Let’s see.” Twilight Sparkle said, examining a note that came with a scroll. “Oh, looks like a note from Princess Celestia!” Immediately she began to examine the note more closely. "Dear Twilight, my faithful student. I have recently come across a scroll that was bundled up and used to even out one of the tea tables in the castle and it seems to be a cure for one of the more debilitating illnesses of Equestria. I am currently deeply involved in royal matters and as such I entrust that you may be able to study the spell and properly ascertain whether the original author was correct in his intentions. Given the importance of this spell to the ponies of Equestria, I would not risk it being sent through Spike and instead chose to use the ordinary method of using the Equestrian courier service. Sincerely, Princess Celestia."

“Oh wow, a cure! Maybe its for cancer or possibly the common cold.” Her voice became more high pitched and it was quite evident that she was excited to finally remove a plague from Equestria once and for all. But just as she was about to unfurl the scroll, something faster than a speeding locomotive whizzed by and embedded itself into the tree which doubled as Twilight’s home, passing right through the scroll and tearing it asunder leaving little but scraps and pieces of paper which flew off in the wind.

Needless to say the alicorn was stunned, wings erect and face frozen into a statement of shock. It was not until a lone hair came out of place and dangled before her eye that she finally snapped back to reality and shook it off. “Oh” She said, still trying to collect her thoughts of what had just transpired. “Well, I’m sure there’s a lesson in this somewhere.” And with that she retired back into her dwelling, and she remained there for the rest of the day, sitting on the floor in silence, unthinking and staring into absolute nothingness.
