Lemon Hearts entered the library, seeing Moon Dancer looking through some books while taking down notes. The thestrals sat at another table, reading some comic books.

"There you are!" Lemon Hearts shouted.

"Shh!!!" Moondancer and the Thestrals shushed at the same time.

"Sorry." She walked to Moondancer "What have you learned so far?"

"Not a lot," Moondancer whispered back "I think the only way is to get into Nightmare Moon's, or Luna's, old room."

"But that's off limits, even for me."

"Well Celestia isn't here and we need to do what's necessary to save Equestria. Do you know where it is?"

"I... I do, but I think only Nightmare Moon knows how to open it."

"Well let's go get her." The two unicorns got up and left the library, leaving the Thestrals alone.

"...Think we should go after them?" The right asked

"Eh, what's the worst that can happen?" The other replied.

Lemon Hearts and Moondancer entered the throne room, but stopped and stared in as their friends & Nightmare Moon were standing and laughing uncontrollably.

"And that's not the funniest!" Nightmare Moon laughed "My sister, her flank is SO big, when she told me I was banished to the moon... I thought I was going to live on her flank!!!" Everypony laughed with her.

"...What's... going on?" Moondancer asked

"Oh great," Lemon Hearts commented to herself "Minuette's laugh gas is broken again."

"...She has laughing gas?"

"Really, it's her alter Ego, Colgate. It should be over about... now." Everypony began to stop laughing and headed to Awkward chuckling instead. Nightmare Moon regained her authoritative position and looked down at them. The four stared back and scooted back slowly.

"Anypony have any idea what we should do?" Twilight asked

"...Run." Nightmare Moon answered. They screamed, turned around, and ran as fast as their hooves could carry them. Booth Moondancer and Lemon Hearts jumped in surprise and ran.

"Quickly!" Lemon Hearts yelled "Follow me! I know the best place to hide!" Everypony followed her as Nightmare Moon chased after them, leading them into a dead end hall with a bust of another Unicorn. All but Lemon Hearts huddled together as they saw Nightmare Moon coming towards them, followed by some Thestrals.

"It's the end of the line for you all!" Lemon Hearts reached over to the statue and knocked it's head over. The wall & floor turned around them, placing them inside a new room while the others outside let out a unified 'What-the-!?'. The room inside looked like any other hallway, but the walls were made with hundreds upon thousands of cakes, each different than the other.

"Where are we?" Twinkleshine asked "And why is there so much cake?"

"This is Celestia's secret cake stash." Lemon Hearts replied, walking ahead "It's where Celestia goes as a means to relieve herself of her responsibilities, and when no cake is around her yet."

"She must REALLY love cake." Lyra commented

"Oh she does! I've seen her eat ten whole cakes in less than three minutes. I do wonder how she loses all that weight, though."

"Side effect from being an Alicorn?" Twilight suggested. "But where to now?"

"We need to head to Princess Luna's room." Moondancer spoke "There, we can find out what we can do to stop Nightmare Moon and bring back Celestia."

The way through the cake filled hallway was a bit confusing to navigate through, but they exited the secret hallway and headed their way to Luna's room to find another way to stop Nightmare Moon. They stopped as another Thestral walked down the hallway, but this one looked pretty small and a lot more skinnier than the others. It stopped and stared at the six mares.

"Oh boy!" He spoke "I'm going to get that promotion!" He turned and ran, but quickly fell onto his face with his flank & tail in the air. "AGH!!! MY ANKLE!!!"

"Let's get outta here!" Twilight yelled, turning and running away.

"Wait!" Twinkleshine replied "He's hurt really bad."

"Leave him!" Moondancer shouted "He's the enemy!"

"Everypony deserves some help, whether you like it or not!" She walked to the Thestral on the floor and leaned down to him. "Aw, you got a boo-boo, didn't you?"

"...What?" the thestral asked

"Where does it hurt?" She poked at his ankle. "Here?" He winced

"Yes! Ow!" Twinkle's horn glowed and she conjured up a med-kit.

"Don't worry, this shouldn't hurt a lot." With some stitches and knowledge thanks to her training as a nurse, the Thestral wore a cast around his left leg. "There you go! Don't do anything too crazy now, and, just between you and me, you may need to eat a sandwich or two."

"Uh... thanks."

"Twinkle!" Lemonhearts yelled

"Coming!" She replied, turning and following her friends. Nightmare Moon and her guards came to the thestral.

"Did six mares pass here!?" she asked

"...No." he lied.

"Where are they!?" She and the guards ran in the opposite direction.

The six mares approached Princess Luna/Nightmare Moon's old chambers, only to see a Thestral guarding it while wearing an amulet around his neck.

"You girls stay behind." Twilight instructed. "He's wearing some sort of amulet, so this requires somepony who knows their magical abilities."

"I'm going with you." Moondancer added "After all, two heads are better than one."

"And six heads are better than the two." Lyra added.

"... Just stick behind me." Twilight groaned. She walked to the Thestral.

"Stop!" The Batpony instructed. "Ye who wish to enter Nightmare Moon's old chambers must answer me these questions three!"

"Oh... alright, ask ahead."

"What is your name?"

"My name is Twilight Sparkle."

"What is your quest?"

"To learn more about Nightmare Moon's past and save Equestria."

"What is your favorite color?" She blinked at him with a confused look.

"...Purple."

"...Alright! You can go." He opened the door for Twilight.

"Just like that? Um... okay." She walked into the room, but the door immediately slammed behind her.

"Ha! This is going to be easy!" Lemon Hearts laughed, running ahead.

"Stop!" The Thestral yelled, Lemon Hearts in front of him. "Ye who wish to enter Nightmare Moon's old chambers must answer me these questions three!"

"Ask me the questions. I'm not afraid!"

"What is your name?"

"Lemon Hearts."

"What is your quest?"

"To learn more about Nightmare Moon's past and save Equestria."

"What is the capital of Yak-Yakistan?" Lemon Hearts froze, staring at the thestral.

"...I don't know that!" The amulet around the Thestral's neck fired at Lemon Hearts, then it sucked her inside the amulet, trapping her inside!

"Lemon Hearts!" Minuette yelled. She marched to the Thestral.

"Stop!" He yelled, stopping Minuette in her tracks. "What is your name?"

"I'm Minuette."

"What is your Journey?"

"To learn more about Nightmare Moon's past and save Equestria."

"What is your favorite color?"

"Pink! No! I mean-" the amulet did the same thing to her, trapping her inside. Lyra stepped in front.

"Stop! What is your name?"

"Lyra Heartstrings." she answered

"What is your quest?"

"To learn more about Nightmare Moon's past and save Equestria."

"What do you think about me?"

"... You're a terrible pony for what you did to me friends!"

"... I don't know what I did to your friends." The amulet glowed and it sucked the Thestral in and spat out both Minuette & Lemon Hearts, but also some other random ponies, all of which had quesadillas on them. The door opened for them

"That was a pretty harsh answer." Twinkleshine commented.

"Did you want me to be a liar?" Lyra asked. They all entered Nightmare Moon's old chambers, though the other ponies went back to their old homes. Twilight stared and shivered at the sight of Minuette & Lemon Hearts eating their quesadillas.

"...What?" Lemon Hearts asked "Want one?"

"No thanks." Twilight scooted back "just... look on that side."

Author's Note

Sorry for taking so long! College and other stuff. The next chapter is going to to be more heart felt... followed with something funny at the end. And yes, the last bit was from Monty Python.
