Bedtime story

Bedtime story

"Okay Spike. Ready?

Once upon a time there was a young mare living here in Ponyville. She was kind and helpfull and she always was in positiv mood. She was the most Loyal being in Equestria. She also was the best flyer ever seen till now..."

"Better than Rainbow Dash?"

"Actually yes.

She had an sister which was the most generous and truthfull Pony all in Equestria.  She was the best magician all in history. She was even better than Celestia. The both were really beloved Ponies.

Because of that, they were the personal advisers of the princesses Celestia and Luna.

Then in a stormy night in Equestria an evil unicorn witch was angry at them because before the two were born she was the most beautiful and most beloved mare in all over Equestria, even though she already was alive before Equestria was found. She was an very mighty mare, but she never were as mighty as Celestia.

Out of jealously she tried to dispossess Celestia. Celestia and Luna threw her into an big cage in a volcano so nobody would find and free her.

Over the time she learned to look into other places through lava. Like this she watched the lives of the two young mares.

Because of her jealously she cursed them with her strongest curse. She wanted them to have an terrible life so she seeded Discord between them.

The first Sister got mean and selfish. She treated her friends and even the princess like junk and fell in their back.

The second sister still was generous and truthfull, but lost her ability to use her magic.

The first sister got meaner with every second and began to hate her sister, which still tried to help the princessess.

The first sister tried to get her sister out of her way, because she wanted to take over the throne.

The first sister eventually would try to kill her sister. Celestia and Luna managed to notice what the younger sister was planning and wanted to sent her to the moon, but the second sister begged them to let her try to get the mind of her sister back. As the first sister tried to get rid of her sister, the second sister said one sentence. She said:

"You can kill me, but please remember me." She closed her eyes and began to cry. The first sister saw her tears.

She began to cry too and exactly at the time two of their tears connected to each other the curse was broken. Because the magic was too strong, the sisters broke into two parts.

The first part were the elements of harmony. Kindness, honesty, laughter, generosity, loyality and magic.

The other part was an poor little creature made of the exact oposite as the elements of harmony.

It was pure hatred and chaos.

The evil unicorn saw a chance in this being. With her last energy she teleported him into her volcano and adopted him as son.

She called him Discord because that was exactly what he was.

Many years later Discord grow to an strong being.

He absorbed the evil unicorn in order to get her magic powers and attacked Celestia and Luna.

Celestia had ever held the elements of harmony in a safe place because she couldn't burry them like this.

As the dark side of the sisters attacked the princess, the both sisters decided to use their power to turn Discord into stone. They knew that he would come back to life sometime, but they decided that this would be fine as long as the elements of harmony would exist.

Because of this they decided they could finally rest as long as their power remained in pure hearts. Before they went into the endless slumber, they cast a spell to protect celestias heart from discord."

"wow! Did this... did this really happen?"

"I asked Celestia the same thing. She told me it happened. Do you think you can sleep now?"

"Yes. I'm very tired because of the hard work."

"Ah, don't you worry Spike I'll let you.. Spike? Sweet."

Good night, Spike

Good night, Spike

"Spike? Could you please stop complaining about everything and start helping me to clean up the Library?"

"But Twilight! It's going to be midnight soon!"

"If you would stop complaining we could be finished since hours. So start helping me already."

"Okay okay".

After almost two hours Twilight and Spike finishd their work. They cleaned everything up and sorted the books in new shelves. "Sleep now, Spike. I don't want to hear anything from you right now."

Spike made himself comfortablein his sleeping basket. He was angry at Twilght.

He couldn't sleep since he had an bad nightmare.

The baby dragon was drained into another universe because of whatever reason. He was the only living creature in a  perfect copy of Equestria.

He looked around in town, but he couldn't find any living being. Everything was like Spike left it while as he was awake, so he thought it would be his real life. That made everything even worse.

After a while of looking around, he found the Caroussell Boutique - destroyed. He searched for everypony, but he couldn't find anypony in the whole town.

After a while he decided to go into the Everfree Forest to look for Zecora and ask her if she could help him.

Her tree didn't even exist. Instead of it there was a large tombstone.

The lettering said "sanity". With every second the little dragon was sleeping the dream got worse.

Trees were growing out of the ground, blocking Spikes path, capturing him like a cage.

Unable to get out of his natural cage Spike lost his sanity and started to imagine things, his friends being captured in cages like this and blaming him for the loss of their freedom.

Spike woke up, screaming in fear, cold sweat running down his temples. He couldn't sleep ever sice then. He told Twilight about it.

She knew that he couldn't sleep but still she let him work like an slave. Spike tried to sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep. He was awake for another hour.

Somewhen around 2 o'clock in the morning he decided to ask Twilight if she could help him.

"W...what? Spike? Why did you wake me up?" she asked tired.

"I... I couldn't sleep. Do you know anything to help me? Please dont get angry at me!" Twilight looked worried.

"How could I get angry at you? Your my friend since magic school. And I think I know something that will help you."

She went down into the Library. A few minutes later she came back with a old book Levitating in front of her. "Lay down Spike. I'll read an bedtime story to you."

"You will? Thanks Twilight. I know I can always count on you."
