Once she climbed up the stairs leading up to her bed, she marked off her calendar and said goodnight to Spike. "Night Spike, hope your day was well." Spike was half asleep already, but he groaned his response, "Night, Twi." As Twilight climbed into bed and she pulled up the covers to go to sleep, couldn't even imagine her upcoming future. A few minutes later, Twilight fell asleep to dream of discovering the wonders and mysteries of Equestria, with her best friends. BANG Twilight and Spike both jolted up to see what just happened.
