Takes place after the events of ‘Lesson Zero’. Twilight has still had issues with her neurosis of failing the princess, and this has started to take her down the path into insanity.
After she starts to fall apart, Luna takes matters into her own hooves, and places Twilight into the Ponyville hospital secure unit, for daring to swear at her.

Twilight believes that she has been imprisoned there for eternity, though, to be honest, she has, even if its for her own health, and the well being of all the other ponies in the area.

Celestia has had to intone a new element bearer, this is a surprise to the rest of the element bearers. The rest of the mane 6, take a new element bearer in their strides, though Rainbow, being loyalty, takes it hardest, and is visibly hostile to her for a while.

After they all start to get along, Celestia sends the new Element of Magic to see Twilight, and find out what has caused her to become paranoid. The only fly in the ointment, is that Twilight has started a plan to escape the secure unit, even though her magic has been dampened.

Well, I guess I'd better do SOME explaining here, hadn't I? Right, where to start?

Yes, the 1st chapter, and probably, the 2nd chapter are quite long. There's a reason for this, it sets the story in motion, otherwise, none of the latter would make sense. And as for the 3rd chapter, well, after that, things start to come back to the present time.

So, the rest of the explanation? Well, once you get to the part of the new Element of Magic, you'll understand why I haven't mentioned them. [spoiler]And, please do not mention them in the comments.[/spoiler]
As for the rest of the story, I'm trying not to make things up as I go along, I really do have a plan. It's sitting somewhere on my Google Drive (saves me losing it!)

Anyhow, all comments are welcome, and this is set in an Alternative Universe, where anything can happen, and usually does.

But, I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I've enjoyed writing it.

Peace out, y'all!
