Storm of the ages and a new dawn

    It was a sunny day when Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack, Twilight, and Rarity were having their picnic on a hill over looking the vast area of Sweet Apple Acres. Each of them were in charge of bringing a different item to help. Rarity brought the blanket to sit down on and cups to drink from. Applejack brought the beverages and some deserts. Pinkie Pie brought the bread. Fluttershy brought lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese to make the sandwiches with. Rainbow Dash brought a special desert called cloud cakes.

   While Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie were busy making the sandwiches, Applejack and Rarity were busy getting the blanket and cups set up. When that was done, Applejack filled up the cups with her family's signature apple cider. Rainbow Dash was in charge of finding Twilight since she was late for the picnic.

    Meanwhile at the library, Twilight and Spike were busy reorganizing the books and bad completely forgotten about the picnic.

   "Spike? Spike!!" Called Twilight

  Spike hearing his name being called ran down the stairs and unfortunately missed a step. He tumbled down a few stairs before Twilight managed to catch him with her magic.

   Twilight gave him a short answer" Spike, I need you to take down a letter to the princess."

Twilight had no sooner gotten done telling spike what she needed when Spike had shown up with a pen and paper in hand.

   "Dear Princess Celestia,

            If you would be kind enough to allow me a little more access to scrolls dealing with magic, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm hoping to learn a new spell.

      P.S. I also would like to invite you to our picnic.

                                                           Your faithful student

                                                                  Twilight Sparkle

As soon as she got done asking Spike to send the letter, there was a knock on the library door. As Twilight opened the door, the face of Rainbow peered back at her. After a few minutes of chitchat, the duo headed over to sweet apple acres. Once there, everything had been set up nice. When Twilight was asked why she was late, she replied that she was organizing the books and sending a letter to the princess.

  When Twilight told them about inviting the princess, the unanimously asked what did she say. Twilight told the group about how she had been unable to attend the picnic due to how busy it was in canterlot. While the group was laughing and having a good time, they noticed it becoming darker.

  Rainbow Dash said before anyone could ask that the pegasi were preparing for an extremely intense storm. She also said that the storm was going to start in about fifteen minutes. Took five minutes to get everything picked up. After they all said their farewells, Rainbow, Pinkie, Applejack, and Rarity went their separate ways. Twilight walked with Fluttershy back to her house.

    Little did the mares know that the storm was going to change their lives and perception of their world. At about halfway home, it started to pour down rain. As Fluttershy was about to open the door to her cottage, she and Twilight heard the growl of a large timberwolf and the barely audible scream for help of a young foal.

   As the pair were running frantically trying to find the source of the scream, they heard the growl again and realized that they were getting close due to the way the growl sounded. In a little clearing about fifty yards from her cottage, the pair finally found the foal. Twilight burst into action and slammed a few spells into the timberwolf disorienting it. Using this to her advantage, Twilight picked up the foal and gently placed it on her back with her magic. Making sure the Fluttershy was near her, Twilight cast a teleportation spell which sent them to the ponyville hospital.

  When they arrived, Twilight called out for help and two nurses arrived in a matter of minutes. As the nurses took stock of the situation, one had called for a gurney. Twilight chose to stay and keep tabs on the foal. When Fluttershy had to leave, Twilight again cast the teleportation spell saving her from getting soaked in the rain. About two hours had gone by when one of the nurses who took the foal came and let her know that they cleaned the foal up and discovered that it was a colt. The nurse also said that it was ok to see him.

  As Twilight entered the mysterious colt's room, she couldn't help but begin to cry as she beheld a sight that should never be seen. Scratches, cuts, and bruises covered the colt from head to hold. Seeing an empty bed next to the colt, she ran out and asked if she could use it to sleep by the colt. The doctor said it was ok so as Twilight got back into the room, she used her magic to levitate it next to the bed the colt was lying in and set it down gently to avoid waking him. As Twilight gazed at the colt, she realized that he couldn't be older than a year.s

   Twilight awoke to the sound of frantic doctors and the long steady beap that was the sign of a flat lining patient. When she looked around she was in the hall and could only look on in horror at the sight in front of her. With tears stream from her eyes, she barely was able to get a message to the princess via spikes flame. Noticing Twilight's current condition, Spike requested that the princess show up here.

   As Princess Celestia finished reading her student's letter and Spike's little memmo at the bottom, she informed Princess Luna and teleported to the ponyville hospital. When she arrived, the nurse at the station showed her where Twilight was. Just as she saw Twilight, she noticed that her coat and mane were paler than normal and while lost in her thoughts Twilight saw her and ran to give her a hug. When the doctors were finished, they allowed Twilight and the princess back into the room. As Twilight began to lay down on the bed next to the colt, Princess Celestia began to sing a lullaby. Now this was no ordinary lullaby, this was sung by her mother. Princess Luna heard her singing the lullaby that her mother used to sing to them. Luna began to sing along with her older sister. While they were both singing, their horns began to glow their signature colors, blue for Luna and golden yellow for Celestia. Twilight was immediately engulfed in swirling blue and gold magical energies. Calming her down enough to give her some much needed rest. Their combined energies while giving her some peace also came with additional side affects.

     It was early next morning when Twilight woke up at the sound of  rustling. As she turned to the colt, she noticed deep pure blue hypnotic eyes staring at her. She ran out into the hall to call for a doctor. When the doctor got there, he immediately began performing a checkup on the colt.  While performing the checkup, he noticed that the colt had both front legs broken and a back leg as well.  This caused Twilight to cry with new ferocity.  The doctor did an X-ray scan to find out the severity of the breaks. After that was done, the doctor began to put the colt's legs back after using a numbing spell. After they were fixed, the doctor bound them and put them in a cast. The doctor said he'd be here for a couple more weeks.
