Rainbow Dash flew outside the sidelines of pony ville.  Approaching her destination, she stopped and trotted the rest the way.  Where Twilight's old tree library was, is now still a tree, but noticiply larger and thicker for a princesses protection.  And to top it off, a canterlot like designed tower, escaping through the side.  A green and violet vine twisted all the way up to the rooftop, which then divided into millions of replicas of Sapphires,Rubies,Emeralds, Diamonds,Topaz , Aqua, Jade,Opal and coral.

    Rainbow knocked loudly on the large golden door decorated perfecty with leaves of silver fleur de lis.  Through the peep hole at the top of the door, A large blue eye appeared.  The guard inside recognized Rainbow quickly and opened the door with his golden unicorn magic.  The second Rainbow trotted inside, she felt the large brass door close behind her, as a fierce gust washed over her backside.

     Though the outside of Twilight's little castle was very different, The inside was completely as it was before, with the exeption of the large stone tower on the left side.  Twilight sat in the back of the large library, centred perfectly in the room.  She sat upon a throne twice the size of her, It was a faded pink, that matched her mane colour, than entered into a pearl white that sparkled slightly.  And violet tips of the crystal looking structure.  Beautifully designed cushions, made by rarity, cushioned her with their gold like stringing fabric.  Twilight was lying on the cushions, her eager eyes searching for something in a book.  Every time she flipped a page, her magic colour reflected light around the room after reflecting upon the gem in her crown.

Twilight lifted her eyes a little bit, enough to notice Rainbow admiring her throne.  Twilight put the book down and stood up, then walked over to the bright pony.  Rainbow Dash looked around the room confused.

  "Where's the others? I thought I was supposed to be last to come?"  Twilight smiled and rolled her eyes.

   "Pinkie got carried away and decided to take the girls on a tour."  Dash, Confused, narrowed her eyebrows slightly.

"But pinkie has never even been in your tower?"

  "Exactly".  Twilight smugly replied.  Dash turned to the tower,

   "Well I'll go get them, now that we're all here,"

" I don't think Fluttershy is coming though," Twilight told the awaiting pegasus.

   "Oh, thats not cool!"  She flew up into the tower to retrieve her three friends.

After partying for well over an hour, the large knock broke into a silence.  One of Twilight's royal guards opened the door and a soft pitter patter sounded into the hall of the main library.  The five girls stood there, staring at angel bunny.

Without a sound, Twilight extended a wing, and angel climbed on it.  Twilight Lifted her wing and put Angel on the table.  The bunny was hopping up and down pointing everywhere, and making weird hand motions.

  "I think he is trying to say something?" Rarity remarked.  Angel twitched, his black eyes showed his annoyance.  Thinking fast, Angel caught his gaze to the parchment and ink on the desk beside him.  He pushed it open and started drawing.  THe ink splattered everywhere, Angel's footsteps leaving prints everywhere.  When he finished, angel backed off the parchment.

  "BWHAHAHA!"  Rainbow laughed loudly.  "If Angel had a cutie mark…  It would definitely NOT be anything artsy!"  She chuckled in the back as the other four examined the picture.

"It looks like, a PONY?"  AppleJack murmured.

"Not just any pony", Twilight remarked.  She looked at the crude sketch.  The long bangs hanging in front of the pony's face seemed familiar, but the butterflies around the pony was the dead give-away.  "It's Fluttershy."  Twilight lifted her head.  Angel nodded hard, then reached for another parchment.  Angel drew trees and monsters,swamps and hydras, foggy hills and canyons.  Rainbow just pulled herself together, then saw the second drawing and fell back on the ground hard.

"Is that-"

"Everfree forest."  Twilight interrupted AppleJack. A short silence broke out between the five of them.  Suddenly Pinkie's whole body shuddered.  She vibrated up and down a couple times then stopped.  Angel was writing something in terrible handwriting.  The five leaned in close to read it.  "It says…."  Twilight paused hesitating.  "Missing".  She spoke again, then sharply raised her head.  "Oh dear."
