Later that night, Bookworm laid on her bed. She knew she was alive, but she couldn't feel any bone in her body. She began straining her ears though; hearing some muffled words which became clearly.

''When is she gonna wake up?'' came a up-class tone of voice, even though the voice hold the tone of a filly too; Harmony.

''Ah don't know, Harm.'' came a more southern voice; Melody.

''I hope she wakes up soon!'' came a voice of depression; one Bookie couldn't tell.

''Same here, Rainy.'' came a coltish voice; clearly it was Freshy. Bookie was shocked the the depressed voice was Rainy!

''Freshy; why not kiss her? Like in the Sleeping Beauty story?'' came a more energetic tone of voice; Dizzy.

If Bookie wasn't still half unconscious, she was sure that she be blushing by now. So they were still teasing her; when she was out of it?! But what happened next scared and shocked her; a pair of lips were placed on her own. She shot awake and even managed to jump a foot in the air; now she was standing on the ceiling, flapping her wings. She had a bright blush on her face; she was panting.

''Hey, it worked!'' cheered Dizzy; giggling.

Bookie glared down at them, looking at each of her friends until she saw Rainy. Her normal, bubbly and messy mane was no longer puffy, no it's was a dark pink and straight to the point it covered her left eye.

''Dizzy, ya know were gonna have a hard time gettin' her down now.'' said Mel, with a bored tone.

''Really? Bookie, come down. Come down, kitty! Kitty!''

'Does she think of me as a cat?' thought Bookie.

Mel groaned and hit Dizzy on the head. ''She's not a cat, ya know.''

Rainy saw this, and giggled a little. She still was as depressed as ever, but her coat colors were coming back. Bookie saw this, and decided to fly them in attempt to cheer up her best friend. She wrapped a hoof around the light cyan filly, and smiled. Rainy stared at Bookie for a second, before her mane bounced back to life. She smiled, and hugged Bookie. ''I'm glad your alright.'' she mumbled.

Bookie smiled gently. She was alright, despite still having a headache and was having a lightly hover from the fact she couldn't feel her legs very well. She looked down at her neck, gripping hold of the book pendent.

''Girls?''

The group looked at her, whilst a still slightly embarrassed Freshy stared at her, boredly. ''Uh?''

''And colt...Sorry..'' blushed Bookie.

''What is it, Bookie?'' asked Mel.

''Look at this.''

Bookie laid her pendent down on her bedside table, and tapped it gently. A holograph appeared from the pendent, and Bookie gently whispered 'Queen Butterfly'. The holograph showed what appeared to be a story and a picture of the evil alicorn and another of the mare as a white alicorn with a cyan mane which faded into pink. In the good picture, their was three fillies; a unicorn, a pegasus and a earth pony.

''Are these the daughters that she was talking about, Bookie?'' asked Harm, staring at the orange earth pony.

''Yep. I will tell you the story; as I believe we're connected to it.'' The group nodded, and sat down in front of the 8 year old alicorn. ''Once upon a pony tale...''


Lady Butterfly smiled down at her three foals: a orange earth pony with a dark mint green mane and yellow eyes, a dark blue pegasus with a red and light blue mane and sliver eyes and a golden unicorn with a pink and purple mane of swirls and dark violet eyes.

''Sweet Music, come here.''

The earth pony filly glanced at her sisters, before walking up to her mother. ''Yes, mother?''

''Here you go, sweetie.'' said Lady Butterfly, smiling. She gave the young foal a pendent which looked like a black note and gently placed it around her neck. ''It will create any instrument you want but not just that, it can enhance your voice; shock waves to destroy anypony who tries to take it from you.''

''Wow. Thank you, mother.'' said Sweet, putting a hoof lightly on the pendent and it glimmered. ''I will treasure it.''

''As I expected you would.''

The earth pony walked back to her sisters, and sat down. The two fillies smiled down at the black note pendent; wishing they had one.

''Weather, your turn.''

The pegasus's ears shot up, and she got up and walked over to her mother. ''What is it, mother?''

''Here.'' said the alicorn. She placed a small pendent; a rain drop; around the filly's neck, the tomboy placed a hoof on the pendent in curiosity. ''It can create any weather you'd like, but the strongest weather; lightning will erupt when somepony tries to take it away from you.''

''Cool. I'll not let it out of my sight.'' said the tomboy; getting a glare from her sisters. ''Uh...Thank you, mother.''

Her sisters giggled, as the pegasus walked and sat down next to them.

''Aurora. Come here, my little unicorn.''

Aurora blinked, and as she stood up; a faint glow wrapped around her young golden body. She walked up to her mother, and bowed.

''No need for that, sweetie. Now, here.'' said Lady Butterfly, as she put the last pendent around the unicorn's neck; a book. Aurora blinked, and laid a hoof on the pendent carefully. ''It can find any knowledge, you need. But not just that; telepathy. It can allow you to hear the thoughts of other ponies; and they'll be able to hear your thoughts if you want it too.''

Aurora nodded, lowering her head in a bow like way. ''Thank you, mother. I will cherish it.''

''As I expect from you, little one.''
