Dimensions

Walking through the back door, Twilight and her friends looked upon a huge graveyard that was behind Midnight's shack. Each gravestone had a name that they had never heard of before, not even Pinkie Pie knew them. Midnight led them to the back of the graveyard, where there was another small shack, but this time it was as big on the inside as it was on the outside. It was a tool shed, and the mare opened it.

"W-Why is there a graveyard here!?" Rainbow Dash asked, slightly creeped out.

Midnight turned to look at the rainbow pegesus. "I work here." She took a shovel out of the shed. "I decide who lives and dies in this world."

"Like that isn't ominous." Applejack tipped her hat, and eye-balled the shovel that Midnight was carrying.

"I'm not going to kill you, idgit." Midnight snapped. "I need to dig up something."

"What do you need to dig up?" Twilight tilted her head.

"A book."

"You buried a book!?" Twilight's vein popped out of her head as she tried to calm herself. "Why!?"

"Well, keeping the book on my bookshelf isn't a smart idea." Midnight rolled her eyes. "Especially if it could kill you all in one go. It's a spell book, but it works with black magic."

"So you're a witch?" Dash suggested. "Awesome-"

"No, it is not 'awesome'." Mid interrupted. "And I am not a witch. This book is extremely dangerous."

Midnight headed towards one of the gravestones marked as 'Fry McCry'. It was obvious it was a fake name, and Discord had only noticed that it wasn't a pony when Midnight started digging up the grave. She took out huge chunks of dirt at once, digging up half of the grave in under thirty seconds. Once she was done, she levitated a box that she put under there and covered up the hole that she made. The box was a brown one, with three locks in it. Once the hole was covered, Midnight trotted back towards her shack.

"Not to be rude, but why do you have a book about..." Rarity paused a little. "Black magic?"

"I didn't create it. I just find it fascinating." Midnight informs Rarity. "Plus, I had to hide it from getting in the wrong hooves. This could literally destroy Equestria with enough practice."

They arrived back at Midnight's old shack, and the white mare sat at the table and flicked open the book, starting to memorise the pages. She scanned the book carefully and kept a close eye on everypony else to make sure they were not looking in the book. As Midnight was reading, Rarity impatiently looked around, and began realising how old and 'boring' Midnight's place was.

"Not to be a critic or anything, dear..." Rarity nervously chuckled as Midnight glanced over at the unicorn. "But this place could use a little bit of a touch-up, couldn't it? I mean, if you wanted, we could-"

"No." Midnight slammed her hoof on the table. She shook her head and bolted her eyes towards the book. "I mean... No, I like it how it is. My house does not need any improvement."

"I see." Rarity stood back a little bit. "S-Sorry."

Once Midnight was finished reading, she closed the book and darted her head towards the group of ponies behind her. She stood up and walked towards them.

"This dimension is falling apart." Midnight announced, not caring for what they think. "I am trying my hardest to fix it, do not worry."

Just to make their worrying better, the back door swung open without Midnight even wanting it to be open. Everyone jerked their heads towards the slamming of the door opening on the wall, and waited to see who decided to enter the shack. They saw a dead pony dragging its own dead weight, making its way towards Midnight. It groaned in pain as it tried to talk to her. Spike saw the pony, and fainted on Starlight's back. Rarity did the same, but on to Pinkie and Applejack, who kept her from falling on the floor. The others stared at the crawling corpse with their jaws on the floor.

"Mid.........Night........." The dead horse groaned.

"Oh, greetings, Z." Midnight slowly stepped towards the crawling pony, not surprised at all. "What's the matter?"

"Took......... Legs........." Z gurgled spit in his mouth.

"Who did?" Midnight crouched down, meeting Z's eye level.

"Sa............Rah..........."

"Sarah?" Midnight mimicked. "I thought I told her to stop doing that." She closed her book tight, then turned to the ponies. "Excuse me, I have to sort out an issue. Wait here if you'd like. I will only be a moment." The white mare trotted out of the shack, with the rotting corpse dragging itself behind her. Once the door had shut, Discord quickly turned to Fluttershy.

"What." Discord yelled. That was all he could say at the moment.

"She does own a graveyard..." Applejack admitted. "I don't know what we were expectin'."

"I was expecting a fake!" Discord snapped. "But she is an actual God! I don't know how that is possible! I thought I was the only one!"

"She said she was the God of dimensions..." Starlight suggested. "Maybe she's from another dimension?"

"Possible." Twilight tapped her chin. "That means that there are dimensions out there... And, as Mid said, ours is falling apart."

"Should we help...?" Fluttershy asked.

"If she needs it, dear." Rarity nodded. "But I think she can handle this on her own."

"I still wanna help." Rainbow Dash crossed her arms. "I mean, she can't do it on her own. That's hard."

"Probably not fer her, sugarcube." Applejack tilted her hat. "She seems like a strong pony."

"Not as strong as me." Discord mumbled. Fluttershy put her hoof on his shoulder, smiling softly.

"What should we do, then?" Spike frowned. "We can't just sit around doing nothing!"

"Maybe I can talk with Celestia to get any books about dimensions, or any spells." Twilight told them. "The best thing we can do is prevent anyone else from finding them, so it makes Midnight's work a lot more easier."

"Yeah! So nopony can go through dimensions and mess something up, and make Midnight have to go over there and fix it and might make our dimension burn in Tartarus!" Pinkie blurted out, not even taking a breath.

Every-pony nodded at the plan, and then started to think about what Pinkie Pie had said. Yeah, she's a bit on the 'loopy' side, but she had a point. If anyone where to mess with dimensions, Midnight would have to fix it. And, if she did that, she could put their dimension in great danger. If she didn't, then the other dimension would collapse. Either way, one of the dimensions would die. Everyone's face went dull, thinking about what would happen to them if they were erased from existence.
