Previously; Phantasma Eeria, a red unicorn mare who lives a generally solitary life; Rainbow Dash, a light blue Pegasus whose dream is to join the Wonderbolts; Twilight Sparkle, a lavender alicorn who was tutored by Princess Celestia and now lives in the Ponyville Castle; Pinkie Pie, a pink earth pony who has a rather concerning addiction with sweets and cake; Rarity, a snow white unicorn who has a keen eye for fashion; Fluttershy, the canary yellow pegasus who is often found caring for an animal of some kind from her menagerie; Applejack, the orange earth pony who's apple orchard is remarkable; Spike, the baby dragon that is proud to be Twilight Sparkle's assistant; Princess Cadence, the princess responsible for all love in Equestria; and Prince Shining Armor, Cadence's husband and Twilight's brother; were coming up with a method of trapping the being running riot across Equestria, after they had formed their plan, Phantasma Eeria went out to find a book, on her way back it began to rain...

Phantasma hurried frantically back to her house to protect the book she had recently procured, as she reached her door the spell required to open the lock was ready so she could burst through the door with ease. The red mare leaped into the air, turned around, landed on her forehooves and bucked the door open. Everypony inside the cave jumped in shock to see their host acting like this, however when the door shut and Phantasma had regained her composure and adjusted her mane and tail so they were back to their former glory, they were pleased to see their host acting normally again.
"Did you get the book we need?" asked Twilight, before Phantasma levitated the borrowed book out of her saddle-bag and told Twilight what had happened. When she got to the part involving the rain, Pinkie stuck her head out of the door, and stuck her tongue out to drink the rain.
"Chocolate Milk?" said Pinkie Pie curiously. Everypony looked at her questioningly before Pinkie told them to come try it for themselves. Phantasma cautiously edged towards the door and stuck out her tongue to catch some of the rain, which much to her surprise tasted like chocolate milk.
"Did Discord make it rain chocolate milk when he was evil, the first time Twilight" asked Phantasma, the lavender pony nodded with a look of confusion on her face.
"Didn't you know this?" Twilight inquired
"No, I did not as when I returned to Equestria after my trip to Saddle Arabia was over, you and your friends were just about to defeat Discord, I had left before you faced Nightmare Moon, so my knowledge of that event is fairly limited as well." replied Phantasma
Twilight and her friends proceeded to inform Phantasma of the events that occurred during Nightmare Moon and Discord's rampage while Phantasma sat listening intently.

When the mane six had finished reciting the story to of how they defeated Discord and Princess Luna's alter-ego Nightmare Moon, Phantasma nodded with understanding, and stood up only to fall back onto her flank as her hind-legs had gone numb. When she finally managed to stand up without falling over, she wandered over to her desk, levitated the book she had obtained from the library, and began reading. The book contained complicated processes that had to be performed to the letter for the spell to work, occassionally there would be a small picture showing how to perform the more difficult steps. eventually Phantasma was ready to attempt the spell. She closed her eyes and focused a large amount of energy into her horn before opening her eyes and letting a thread of magic protrude from her horn, she began to perform every step necessary with ease until she reached the first of the more difficult actions, by now she had several strands of magical fibre under her control. She weaved the first cross-strand over and under the other threads, making sure that it didnt touch any of the other strands as this was how it was depicted in the book.

In the end, Phantasma was left with a weave of magical fibres, none of which were touching. Finally she began the last step, she formed one final string which was larger than any of the others and joined it to the ends of the other fibres perpedicularly before pulling it outwards from all four sides and the cross-weaved strands began to join together. A few seconds later Phantasma was left with a magically formed mesh, which she dropped over Spike to test it. After Spike was completely enveloped in the mesh he was asked to try escape, after a few minutes of frantic struggling Spike was still stuck in the mesh. Phantasma used her magic to lift the mesh off of the dragon and asked him to try and rip it using whatever means he had at his disposal. The results of this was a perfectly intact mesh and an exhausted dragon, even Spike's dragon-fire was ineffective against it. After Phantasma had finished the tests Spike went to the library where most of the ponies were staying in magnificent beds.

Phantasma, after admiring her work, dispelled the mesh and proceeded to teach Shining Armor, Cadence, Rarity and Twilight the spell. She had no problems teaching the two alicorns how to cast the spell, she had a little trouble teaching Shining Armor how the spell was executed and had a lot of trouble teaching Rarity how to form the thread but had no problems teaching her how to weave it due to Rarity's profound talent for crafting clothing. After everypony who could cast the spell had mastered it to the best of their abilities they all began attempting to weave the mesh in unison to make it faster and stronger. After several attempts they had perfected making one mesh with four other ponies. Finally they were ready to set up the trap, all they needed was the location of the being, to learn the route, and to execute the plan. Spike came into the room, looked out of the window in the door and said "Is it just me or is that Chocolate Milk Rain?"
