I Lie and Wait

Something Interesting

   Twilight, like all ponies at this time, was tired. She would normally have something important to study up on or have her royal duties to attend to, but the week before was very emptied of things to do. Even though she has become an alicorn, most ponies still go to Celestia or Luna if they need something. Twilight for now was a second option. Not that it was a bad thing. She had more time at night to chart stars.

  While she was looking for her telescope to do just that, she heard something. A small bang was heard against the sound of crickets and leaves. She was about to excuse it as irrelevant, until she heard it again, then again, then again. Twilight then decided, her curiosity getting the better of her, to go out and examine the noise. She teleported to the castle doors and slowly opened them.

  When she got out, she heard the noise again. This time, though, much louder. She looked around for the source. Not seeing anything, she was about to leave to find her telescope again, until she saw a very stressed Fluttershy and a tired looking Rainbow Dash with wide eyes running/flying toward her.

"Twilight! Twilight, please hurry!", was the first thing that was said loudly out of Fluttershy in over three months. "Something's being attacked by Timberwolves!"

"Something?"

"It's some big, weird, creature. Flutters doesn't know what it is, and neither do I! The things got, like, twelve Timberwolves on it's tail!". By now though, Twilight was already hooked on finding out what it was. "Spike!" she yelled. He eventually poked his head from around the corner of the large doors. Since Twilight was going to chart stars, he had to be up to help her when the need arose.

"Yea Twilight?" he asked nonchalantly. "I need you to send a letter to Princess Celestia."...
