Twilight awoke before Celestia had even begun to raise the sun. She stretched and yawned and hummed happily to herself as she got out of bed. This was going to be a good day and she could feel it. She checked on her potion jar, picking it up with her magic and moving it slowly around. The clear liquid had started to develop within it a sparkly mist that lazily swirled around.

"Perfect," Twilight said softly and placed the jar back behind a pile of books.

It was much too early to wake Spike, so Twilight decided to go downstairs, have a cup of tea, and spend some alone time with herself and her party plans. Grabbing her checklist and a quill, she settled onto a nice cushion and sighed. She knew the drill by heart: Everypony would arrive at the Library to set up the food, decorations, and music. Shining Armor would be at the door to invite Cadence inside under the guise of "asking her something about a book he found on Crystal Ponies". Cadence walks in, everypony yells surprise, the merriment continues until Shining Armor reveals his wonderful vacation plans.

And that's where you step in...hissed the voice inside Twilight's head. The only reason Twilight would ever dare let anyone have a party in the Library is if she got something out of the deal. Like Shining Armor. And the only place to safely keep her brother would be the basement of the Library Twilight had created herself...just in case things like this ever happened.

Once she finished checking off everything on her checklist, the purple unicorn sipped the last of her tea and walked back up to her room. She knew exactly how she wanted to spend the next few hours. Plopping down on her bed, she stared at the jar of swirling sparkles until Celestia rose the sun.

Author's Note

Sorry, this is a very short update, but this chapter WILL be longer very soon. I'm slowly getting back into the swing of this story and I just have to finish planning how the end of this chapter is going to go. I don't want it to be a rushed piece of crap or anything!
Until next time, stay crazy pony fans.
