The Call Of The Night
Chapter 1: The Beginning Of a Change
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt was early morning , 7.30 to be specific and Twilight was waking up, she always was an early riser.She pulled of the purple blankets covering her and got of her bed and went to the bathroom to clean herself up.The purple unicorn looked herself in the mirror and saw the horrible mess her mane was Oh wow my mane is a real mess I can't go out looking like this! she thought and grabbed the comb, combed her mane and proceeded to wash her face.When she was done she called Spike : "Spiiike! What do we have on today's Checklist?"
Spike, who was currently sorting some books in the History of magic section when he heard his friend calling.He picked up the checkilst and ran straight to his and Twilight's room.
"Well we have to : Reshelf the History of magic section and the Application of magic throughout history section and I already started on the Former,next we have to pick up a batch of cupcakes from the Sugarcube Corner, Deliver the Maths basics to Cheerilee and finally help Applejack deliver some apple baskets to Filthy Rich for his garden party, oh and he asked Pinkie to plan this one for a change".
Twilight nodded and Said : "Okay I will sort the application of magic right away so we can get those cupcakes quickly, I am really hungry and we don't have any food left in the kitchen."
She went to the shelf that needed sorting and picked up some books with her magic.Let's see "The illusonist of the school for the gifted unicorns" and "The invisible wizard" go to the second shelf and "The mages' wards" goes to the fourth one...

1 hour later...
"Ok Spike I'm done with the sorting are you done?" Twilight asked her assistant.Spike answered : "Yes I have finished 20 minuttes ago I was getting bored."
"Well...you started early!" She said."Okay, okay calm down it wasn't a competition Twilight, come on let's get to the Sugarcube Corner I am SO hungry right now."
The purple mare nodded beeing hungry herself and said "Yes, I am to let's go." Mmmm I could buy those apple muffins she tought and with that they exited the library, and went towards The Sugarcube Corner.

Fluttershy woke up in her cozy bed and looked at the clock on the wall, it said 7.00 am 7 am, right on time to feed all the little critters she thought and immediately went to brush her mane.Grabbing the brush with her mouth, she brushed her mane into her usual long manestyle and smiling happily went to feed her critters.
20 minutes later
"Ok and now for my breakfast..." she said quietly and walked to the kitchen Know, what to make for my breakfast?Let's see what I have. She thought and opened her cupboard only to see a lonely loaf of bread laying in there.
"Oh my where did all of the food go?Did I really buy food for the animals but forget to buy my own?Well I did buy some apples but I ate them all." Could it be that.. no Twilight fixed that with her spell I am just imagining things. and with that she continued with her duties.

Twilight Sparkle was walking Through Ponyvile, with Sugarcube Corner beeing her goal and Spike following right behind her.They were walking by the market when Twilight saw Applejack by her apple stand when she felt the tiny urge to eat one of the juicy, red apples, but that urge was silenced by the rest of her brain.
Applejack saw Twilight and decided to say hello."Hello Twi' how you doin'?" she called to her purple friend.Twilight heard her and responded : "Fine Applejack, I'm just on my way to Sugarcube Corner."
"Oh great , You still comin' to help me with those apples?" she asked."Of Course I am AJ I will be there right after I bring a book to Cheerilee."
Applejack nodded with a smile and said "Ok sugarcube see ya later." Twilight waved goodbye and continued to her goal.
The librarian and the dragon were walking down the street when they finally saw their destination.They walked in to see Pinkie pie busy at the counter handing out the sugary treats."Thank you and come again!", Pinkie said just before noticing Twilight walking up to her , "Oh hi Twilight I have those cupcakes you asked for."
"Thanks Pinkie here are the bits." said Twilight while giving the party pony the bits.Those apple pies look tasty... she thought but immediately shook that off knowing that she mustn't spoil her lunch.
"Thank you again Pinkie, see you later."
She exited the bakery and was about to go to the school but she saw what time it was and panicked : "Oh no I am going to be late at the farm! Spike would you be so kind and give this book to Cheerilee, I have to go to the farm to help Applejack."
"Sure Twilight but can I stop at Rarity's later?" he asked
"Of course Spike have fun!" she smiled and ran to the farm.

Meanwhile at Fluttershy's cottage
Our timid pegasus was trotting happily along the road when she saw her lavander friend running towards the farm.
"Hey, Twilight wait!" she called out. Twilight seemed to notice her and slowed down
"Oh hi Fluttershy, I can't really talk right now I am late to help Applejack help with the party delivery."
"Really? Could I join you I am done for today and don't have anything else to do." she asked being done with her chores and having nothing interesting to do today.
"Sure, the more of us the quicker we will be done!" Twilight said. Fluttershy smiled and they both hurried to the farm.
Sweetapple Acers in sight, the pair saw their farmpony friend bucking an apple tree.
"Hi Twilight! Hi Fluttershy, you here to help to? " she asked.
" Well I didn't have anything else to so i would like to help... if you don't mind that is." replied Fluttershy.
" Of course you can help the more the merrier!" ,said Applejack and smiled, "Here you each take a pair of baskets and lets go:" and with that they went with their jobs.
A delivery later...
" Well that went well " said Twilight.
" Yes it did Twi, I sure hope those don't spit on our apples just because earth ponies made m' " worried the farmpony.
" Well knowing them, somebody will but who knows you might get some new customers! " Said Twilight, visibly comforting her friend.
" Well see ya later girls I have some things to do, here grab an apple each. " said Applejack handing some apples to her friends.
"Awww thanks AJ see you later! " replied Twilight and Fluttershy in unison.
They parted ways , Applejack going back to her farm and Twilight and her timid friend walking on the road back to the town. They immediately took a bite each of their apples enjoying their wonderful taste. Twilight thought that a bit odd but seeing her pegasus friend do the same, she shook the suspicion off, but what she didn't know is that Fluttershy was making a fruitbat relapse and Twilight was joining her on the soon to be apple massacre. They continued with their meal unaware of the dangers ahead.
