The missing princess

The 2 mares went rummaging book by book. No signs, No information, No... Nothing? When did tracking down a book become so hard? Twilight grumbled and groaned. It's been 4 hours and there were no sign of a simple book! Rarity had left to take care of her boutique and Fluttershy needed to check on her animals quickly, Even though she will be back by the time they found something useful. Hmmm. Were there ever any secret underground passages? Spike had gone through one of them, but Twiight was a bit afraid to ask where it was. Apple Jack paused for a moment.

"Hey Twilight? You ever found a book with a torn page? I might've found a piece to it. But it's written in a weird language I ain't knowin' of."

" Oh! Okay. Can you give it to me? I might be able to decipher it." Twilight exclaimed. There was finally a spark of hope. Later when Aj gave the piece of torn paper, It seemed that Twilight's "spark of Hope" was going to be extinguished. There were really weird written symbols that didn't make any sense. Probably because Twilight's never seen them before! "Ugh!! I hate this! Anyways, thanks Aj. I don't know what I would've done without you! Now it's time for me to go ho-". Home? Spike didn't even allow her to sit on a bed, let alone stay with him! Twilight knew that Apple Jack had "read her mind" because she gave a little chuckle.

"Sorry Sugar! I'm booked with some of mah relatives comin' over. The Apple Family Reunion is coming up!" She then paused for a second. "Hey! Mah Aunt Goldie is comin' over. She loves books, History, and cats! T'morrow I'm havin' a li'l feast. You could come over and get some help from her! But you'll have to be there T'morrow 'cause-"

Twilight eyes widened and then gave her friend a squeeze hug. "Thank you so much Apple Jack! You are the best! I'll just sleep on the grass. Thank you so so so much!!!! You're a lifesaver! Thanks! I really have to get going. Bye! I'll talk to you tomorrow!" She zoomed out. Yes! A depressing day saved the best for last! Now, she'll get all the information she needs and and every thing will be back to normal! At least she thought. Twilight had been thinking of what will happen that she didn't realize someone calling her name!

"TWILIGHT!! TWILIGHT!!" The voice called again.

A stallion had come forwar, panting with sweat. "Hi. There. Twi-Twilight!" Flash said.

"Oh my gosh Flash! Are you okay? I can't believe I didn't see you before! I'm super sorry!" Twilight gasped.

"I'm alright. But I wanted to ask you something..."

Plop.... Plop!

There was one last petal in the pretty flower. As Luna stared at the flower, she thought to herself why she wasn't tearing up the last of the bloody red rose. She stared at it for a while. She stood up and put the rose in the vase that was decorated with stars, moons, suns, and clouds. It was a gift from her parents. But she only last saw them right before being sent the moon for one thousand years. After that, They were never to be seen aga-

" Oh LUNA!!!!" Celestia exclaimed.

Narrator: *sigh* I can't even finish a sentence and she bursts in the room.

"Oh luna! I have great news to tell you! Marista came back!"

"MARISTA!? She's BACK!?" Luna stammered.

"Yup! And I'm also sorry about how I shouted at you... Forgive me?" Celestia was hoping to get a "yes of course I will" and let everything go peacefully. Her expectations, though, were highly wrong. Luna hadn't even answered. Her sister was just gaping at her as if she's seen a ghost!

"Luna? Are you alright, sister?" She politely asked.

"We need to head to the Library." Luna replied.

"But I-"

"NOW!!" Luna yelled. Oh no! What have I done? This MUST be the reasoning for the disappeared book! They both ran to the rusty "book palace". So many secrets, lies, and worries filled Luna's brain. So much to keep, secretive!

"Y-you want t-to have d-d-dinner.... with me?" Twilight asked. She was blushing furiously. Twilight was sure that she was red from ears to hooves. She had never been on a date, not that it was one. Maybe this was just friends hanging out with each other, or maybe it was something more? But the only thing that popped up in that darn mare's had was "SQUEEEEE!!!!".

"I know... you'll probably say no... We only met just yesterday and you barely know me but still, if you want you could-"

"Sure!!! I'd love to come!" Twilight replied, not thinking through. She felt so nervous and blushed again. Her mane started sweating a bit and she didn't know what else to do.

Flash gave twilight a warm smile and said, "Okay! Can I meet you around 7 at Dj's -' He paused for a moment and gave himself a face hoof. "I'm sometimes really stupid. Dj is a mare that hosts parties and stuff like that."

"Oh! I know! My friends and I call her Vinyl. I think that was her real name."

"Really? okay! We'll meet over at her place? I heard there was a ceremony for some ponies happening tomorrow."

"Sure thing Flash! I'll meet you there!"

He left quickly, even though it was obvious he was bushing. Twilight adored his way of making her feel better. It was so sweet!  Then, a spark of terror came upon her. Don't I also have to go to see Goldie tomorrow at the feast? No! She felt really confused. what would she do? Where would she go? And why did the grand galloping gala come so soon? She was in such a state that Twilight felt like vomiting. Then, Twilight finally came back to her senses. It was already dark. She should be going to sleep by now! After a moment or two, Twilight started feeling drops on her face. She looked above her into the clouds. The sky started turning gray. Then, more drops started coming down. They were coming down so hard, it hurt twilight's mane. She started running from a random direction.

Ah! A cave! I should be dry in there! Twilight headed into the dark hole. It was a bit dusty, but dry too. Twilight called out  "hello" before coming in. There was silence. Soon, she found some moss in a corner and piled them up to make a bed. Afterwards, she got some wet pieces of wood and started creating a fire. She made sure it was far from the rain so that it wouldn't beput out so easily. In a minimum of 5 minutes, Twilight was soon in a world, where everything was black and nothing could be heard.  The world, of dreams and nightmares.
