The Princess that Equestria Never Had

by rillegas08
After a particularly rough day, Twilight accidentally activates a spell she read earlier but didn't understand. She wakes up the next morning in darkness. Her only chance is to find Princess Celestia to return Equestria to how it is supposed to be.

After a particularly rough day, Twilight Sparkle is weary from all her responsibilities as princess and the unofficial leader of her five friends. She absentmindedly wishes she'd never been born, which activates a spell she read earlier but didn't understand, and she notices something is wrong when she wakes up the next morning in total darkness, the library a complete mess. Her only chance is to find Princess Celestia to return Equestria to how it is supposed to be.
