Twilight rubbed her eyes and yawed. She stepped out of bed quietly; she didn't want to wake up Spike, the little dragon was so scared of the storm last night he got very little sleep! The violet unicorn tip-toed down the stairs, then levitated a book from the shelf. She began to read it, but then she saw something odd from the corner of her eye. She flicked her eyes to the window, shocked at what she saw she went closer. She was about to scream; the sky was white, but not from the clouds, there was actually no clouds at all! And the lower she looked, the sky got purple! Canterlot was nowhere to be seen and there was a gigantic lightbulb hanging in the sky!
"Aaah!" she yelled, quickly shutting up after she remembered Spike was sleeping. But it was too late, Spike came moping down the stairs, rubbing his eye.
"W-what's going on Twilight?" he yawned.
"Look outside!" Twilight shouted, the purple and green dragon looked outside, causing his mouth to hang open.
It took him a few minutes to process what he was seeing, "We've got to warn every pony!"
"What're you? Crazy? They'll be going nuts, thinking it's doomsday!"
"But they will see any ways! As soon as they step outside!"
"You've gotta point there, Spike." Twilight thought for a moment, "we'll have to either find away to stop every pony from going outside, or keep them under control and calm." but then there was a loud knocking on the door.
"TWILIGHT, IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD! PANIC, PANIC!" a voice yelled, obviously Pinkie Pie's.
"There goes staying indoors and keeping calm." Spike muttered.
"TWILIGHT! OPEN UP! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!" Pinkie scream.
"Oh golly, Pinkie! You be scaring the living jeepers out of her." another voice grumbled, Apple Jack's. Twilight finally opened the door, there stood all five of her best friends.
Twilight rolled her eyes and asked, "So you all think it's doomsday?"
"Well, no, not exactly. Pinkie told us all that it's the end of the world and took us here." Rarity explained. "I honestly have no idea what's going on." she added.
"Well it's not the end of the world, I can tell you that much." Twilight said, "now every pony inside, you must be tired from running all around Ponyville!" They all walked inside.
"So if it ain't no apocalypse, what is it? Not that I'd be believing Pinkie's crazy tales, but I need a darn explanation!" Apple Jack demanded.
"Well, I haven't got any legitimate theories yet, but it's possible it's an odd weather occurrence?" Twilight guessed.
"When has there ever been white and purple skies in ponyville? Never, never ever! Why'd it decide to be purple now?!" Rainbow Dash furiously demanded answers.
"Well I don't really know, but there's gotta be a more logical answer than an apocalypse." Twilight stated.
"Well give us your darn' answer!" Apple Jack fussed.
"Guys, maybe you should stop being mean to Twilight, she's only guessing." Fluttershy shyly said.
"Yeah, try having more of a civil conversation, instead of just yelling like a bunch of uncivilized buffoons!" Rarity added.
"Well, I guess y'all be right." Apple Jack admitted, Rainbow Dash nodded her head in agreement.
"Well, anyways. What does every pony think happened?" Pinkie asked, but before any pony could answer the door bursted open. In came Big Macintosh.
"Big Mac? What are ya' doing here?" Apple Jack asked, Big Mac didn't answer. "Big Mac, you okay?" she asked again.
"Nope." he replied. The closer in he came, something shocking was revealed. A big peach, fleshy claw was grasped onto his back.
A voice, which sounded like a young filly trying to mimic a old colt announced, "I need a bride!", as the claw shook Big Mac back and forth. "Which one of you ladies shall I marry?" (s)he boomed again. Every pony stood frozen, wide mouthed. Well, every pony except Fluttershy; she was struggling to hide behind some books on the book shelf. Another claw swooshed in and grasped Rarity. "i choose you, pretty pony!" it shouted.
The same voice, but this time mimicing a lady replied, "Oh great! I will happily marry you!", as the claw waved Rarity around.
"Unhand me this instant, you filthy beast!" Rarity furiously yelled, but the claw ignored. The two claws pulled Big Mac and Rarity out of the tree. Spike ran to the door, but it slammed in the baby dragon's face.
"Oh Spike! Are you okay?" Fluttershy pitifully asked.
"Yeah," he said, rubbing his wound that the door left, "but we have other things to worry about, we have to rescue Rarity!" he yelled.
"And Big Macintosh!" Apple Jack replied.
"Oh yeah, and Big Mac." Spike repeated.
"Well let's not go unprepared, we have to pack up some items." Twilight said, "who knows how long it's going to take to find them!"
Rarity furiously tried hitting the claw, but the grasp was too tight. "Put me down!" she complained. The two ponies got pulled further out of Ponyville, into the 'sky'. They were put down on a shelf that was much higher than Ponyville, altough they could still see the small town. "Do you have any idea what's going on?" she asked Big Mac.
"Nope." he replied. The claw came down and snatched the two up again, the other claw was placing something down on the shelf. It was placing down...Canterlot? The claw opened the castle door and shoved them inside.

Twilight zipped up her saddle sack. "Is every pony ready?" she asked. Every pony nodded, "Okay! Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, you two fly around all of Ponyville! Apple Jack and Pinkie, you two check around the outside of town; like Sweet Apple Acres and the meadow! Me and Spike will look around town. If we can't find them we'll meet up here, then head into the Everfree forest!"
"Th-the Everfree forest!?" Fluttershy gasped.
"Aw, c'mon Fluttershy! You've been in there b'fore!" Apple Jack encouraged.
"B-but it's so dangerous!" Fluttershy shuttered.
"Fluttershy, you'll have us around!" Rainbow Dash said and playfully slapped her on the back.
"I guess I'll go...if we don't find them around Ponyville!" she mumbled.
"Well that's settled, let's head out!" Twilight ordered.

Pinkie Pie hopped beside Apple Jack, "This is going to be so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, SO much fun!" Pinkie puffed, "an adventure!"
"Why, Pinkie, ain't you worried 'bout Rarity?" Apple Jack asked.
"Well, yeah marriage can be pretty miserable, especially when you just jump into it like her! But she seemed excited, if she wants to, she can!" Pinkie replied.
"Ugh, no Pinkie! She ain't wanting to get Married!"
"Then why'd she say yes?" Pinkie asked, causing Apple Jack to face hoof.
~
"Oh, I hope Rarity and Big Macintosh will be alright!" Fluttershy nervously said.
"Don't you worry, Fluttershy! With a pony as fast as me we'll get there in no time!" Rainbow Dash Boasted.
"You sure, Dashie?" Fluttershy questioned.
"I'm absolutely sure." Rainbow Dash assured her.
"Okay, I hope your right..." then something rustled in the bush, causing Fluttershy to scream and jump into a hollow tree. Out of the grass came Tank, Rainbow Dash's pet turtle.
"Fluttershy! It's just Tank!" Rainbow Dash Hollered.
"O-oh.." Fluttershy blushed, squeezing her head out of the tree. Rainbow Dash couldn't help but chuckle.

Twilight walked down the streets of Ponyville while spike sat on her back, "so how do you explain the giant claw?" Spike asked.
"I-I don't know..." Twilight replied, looking down at her hoofs.
"You think it is an apocalypse?" Spike asked, "Maybe the sky has to do with that claw, monster thingy!" he suggested.
"Maybe...." she replied, "but I know for sure, we're defiantly not in Equestria any more." That statement shocked Spike. Equestria was the only world they knew, other than the other place. The place where the weather controlled itself, and no pony has horns or wings, but no pony even knew if that place existed.
"Any ways, we've been out here for hours!" Spike stated.
"Yeah, we should be heading back now." Twilight agreed.
