Meeting With Old Friends And A Bad Dream

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Celestia and Luna were enjoying a nice dinner and discussing some different things.

"So sister how was the day court?" Luna asked.

"Just the normal routine of listening to the nobles talk about what I should invest in and some other things."Celestia replied. "Isn't night court about to start soon?"

"Yes. We are not looking forward to it as we will be handling a talk that was not finished during the previous court." Luna said sullenly.

"Don't worry Lulu i'm sure you'll be able to handle it."Celestia said trying to brighten her sisters mood. Just then the dining room door opened. In came a pegasus guard who snapped into a salute." Yes,what is it Sky Strider."

"Princess Twilight Sparkle has awoken." Said Sky Strider not dropping his salute.

"Thank you Sky Stider." Celestia said as the guard turned to leave the dining room.

"Shall we go and talk with her sister?" Asked Luna.

"Indeed we shall." Celestia said as she and Luna got up from their seats and heading towards the door. Once they left the servants went to clear the table.

Canterlot Hospital

Celestia and Luna entered the hospital and walked towards the desk that a black and white mare was sitting behind. The mare looked up from her book at the two rulers of the land.

"Good evening your highnesses." The mare said with a bow as she had got from her seat. " What brings you here this fine evening."

"We are here to see Princess Twilight."

" Oh yes Princess Twilight had been asking us to get ahold of you. She is on the second floor,room 228. There are two Royal Guard stationed there so you should able to tell which one it is." The mare said with a smile.

"Thank you." Celestia said in a polite calm voice. Her and her sister then preceded to the second floor. Celestia and Luna reached the top of the stairs and headed down the hall. A couple seconds later they reached Twilight's room. They walked in to see Twilight staring out the window.

"Hi Twilight." Said Celestia. Twilight turned around to see Luna and Celestia standing in the doorway.

"Celestia,Luna!" Twilight screamed as she ran over to hug them causing Luna to stiffen a little. "I missed you guys so much!" Twilight said with tears flowing freely.

"We missed you as well Twilight" Said Celestia noticing that some the tears on Twilight's right cheek were red."What happened to your eye?"

"Indeed pray tell what has happend to thou eye?" Asked Luna.

"Had an uh.... incident on the way home. Nothing i couldn't handle." Luna and Celestia had a look of concern on their faces."I said i'm alright." Twilight said reassuring the older alicorns. The group backed away from each other.

"If your're sure." Celestia said.

"Yes I am sure." Twilight replied. "So how has everypony else been?"

" They've been very depressed. It was the worst during the first couple of months." Celestia said tearing up a little." I've sent search parties all across Equestria looking for you." Celestia cried. Normally she wouldn't act this way but since it was a private setting and this was her former personal student and now her fellow Princess she felt it was appropriate. Twilight was not use to seeing her former mentor like this. She did the only thing she could. She embraced her mentor in a hug.

"Sh sh it's alright I back now there's no need to cry. Just calm down." Twilight said in a soft reassuring voice with tears of her own falling. Luna too was in a hurt to see her sister like this but she was able to keep her tears back. She turned away from the sight. She just couldn't bear it. Twilight and Celestia stayed in their position for almost half an hour. " Are you alright now?" Twilight asked.

"Yes I believe I am."Celestia replied as her and Twilight stopped hugging. Twilight looked towards Luna's direction.

"You okay Luna?" Twilight asked.

"Yes we are fine." Luna said turning around. The three alicorns sat in silence for a few more minutes until a nurse walked in.

"Sorry to interrupt your Highnesses but it's time for Princess Twilight to get some rest." Said the nurse.

"No it's quiet alright." Said Celestia" Twilight does indeed need her rest. We'll see you soon Twilight."

"Alright." Said Twilight as she walked over to the hospital bed. After that the Two Royal Sisters and the nurse left the room. Twilight was left alone in the bed." I really hope I can sleep tonight." Twilight said as she closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.

Twilight's Dream

The morning was nice and sunny. The birds were singing. The water in the river flowing with calmness. Twilight sat outside the old home of the Two Royal Sisters reading a book. There was a snap of a twig. Twilight closed her book and looked around.

"Hello anypony there?' Twilight asked. As she asked the question another sound emitted from the darkness of the forest. Twilight put her book in her pocket dimension and looked around. "Rainbow if this is another prank it's not funny." Twilight said in a worried voice.

"I assure you this is no prank Princess." Said a voice from behind Twilight. She turned around to see a man standing above her with something slung over his shoulder. The thing he carried was long. It was black and looked like it had many different parts to it.

"Who...who are you?" Twilight said.

"The name is Alex Randalf."Said the man.

"Wh...what do you want?" Twilight asked.

"You." Was all Randalf said as eight more men stepped out from the shadows and surrounded her. They all had the strange looking sticks in their hands and they were all pointed at her.

"What are you gonna do with those?" She asked . One of the men pulled his trigger and there was a loud bang. Twilight felt a pain in her side. She looked over to see a small dart like object in her side. "What...is.....that?" Twilight asked as she swayed on her hooves.

"It's called a tranquilizer dart Princess." Randalf said. Twilight fell to the ground with her vision blackening. Her last sight was seeing one of the men walk over and pick her up.
