Saving Silver Colt

"Where are we headed?" I ask from behind Luna. We step outside and there's a carriage waiting.

"We are heading to the home of the alicorn who knows most of magic." She says, not looking over her shoulder. We both step into the carriage.

"Twilight?" I ask, looking at her. She responds with a nod.

'I need to control my thoughts.' I tell myself. 'it's unacceptable to think of the princesses the way I've been.'

We thank the two stallions who pulled us then walk up to a giant Christal castle in the middle of Ponyville. Luna knocks.

Then knocks again.

One more time.

The giant door opens somewhat to show a tiny..... Dragon.

"Hi Luna!" He says. Then points to me. "Who's this."

"Hi. I'm-"

"This is Andreah. We both need to speak to Twilight." She says, cutting me off.

"Hi Andrea. Twilight is in a friendship meeting with everypony else. "

"We have to talk to her. It's extremely important. Could you please go get her?" She persists.

"Glad to. The only thing their arguing about is which cake flavor is better. Guess who started that." He says, then turns around waving us in. I let Luna go first then I follow. We walk into a large corridor. The ceiling thousands of times taller than I am. Everything is Crystal. I bet this place is worth a lot of bits.

"Hold on just a sec." The dragon tells us, then walks through another pair of giant doors. Confused, I walk over to Luna.

"Why does this place have so many doors. And why is it so big?" I ask.

"I do not know the answer."

So we wait. Not to long and the doors open. A purple alicorn walks through. She's much younger than me. At least half my age.

"Vanilla is way better!!" An obserdly high pitched voice yells before the door closes.

"Hello, Andreah. What do you need?" She asks, adding an annoyingly happy smile. I awkwardly smile back.

"Hello, Twilight Sparkle. We are here for the research that I assigned some time ago." Luna butts in, again.

"Which one?" She asks, cocking her head.

"The one that allows you to see in total darkness."

"Right! This way please." She says, then turns to her left, our right.

We follow her down the giant corridor. Wondering how studying magic is actually possible. Well, I am a Pegasus, not a unicorn. I'll have to ask Sil-

"In here." Twilight says, opening another pair of giant doors. Walking in, I see books everywhere. Floor to ceiling of them.

"This is a lot of books." I say, astonished.

"Yea, but I've read them all." She says non-chalontly.

"All of them?!"

"Yea..." She sighs, walking over to the table in the middle of the room. I walk over to a shelf.

"Even the ones written by you?" I ask, looking over at her, her ears perked up and she looks at me. I pick up the book and look at the cover. " ' A Hard Day's Night' featuring Princess Celestia." I say the last two words mockingly. I turn and look at Twilight, raising a brow at her. Her face turns bright red.

"My sister?" Luna asks. Twilight runs over.

"J-just put that back. We can go over what you came here for and then you can be on your way." Sheepish smile.

"Mmhmm." I hum, then follow her to the table, Luna aswell. Twilight uses her magic to pull a book off of one of the top shelves.

"This is where I wrote down all my research on seeing in darkness. I managed to conjure up a crude base of a spell. If you want, Andreah, I can test it on you." She says, looking up at me from the open book.

"It's safe?" Luna as, concerned.

"Wouldn't do it if it weren't."

Why not? "Sure."

Twilight nods and flips through a couple of pages untell she finds what she's looking for. Closing her eyes and bowing her head almost piously, her horn starts to glow purple. Dimly, unnoticeable at first. But soon it was brighter and brighter. Soon it'sunbearable. Then, without warning, a bright white beam of magic shoots towards me. Slamming into my forehead. My body goes involentarily limp, but still suspended by the magic. My vision gets whiter and whiter.

Silence. Spell over. Drama over. I'm laying on the floor unable to move.

Darkness.

I've taught myself to sleep on my right. Never on me left. My fourty-five is in my jacket on my left.

"Hello?" A voice rouses my from my sleep. And true to my training, my left wing reaches for my gun. Grabbing it, I point it in the face of another purple pony. But this one only a unicorn.

"Woah." She says. "I'm friendly. Promise." I keep my gun in her face while looking around the room. I'm in (what I assume) is this mare's bed. Words I've never wanted to say again. There are two kites stacked up against eachother against the wall next to the bed. A kite creating kit on a desk across the room. The room itself made of Crystal. My eyes scanning the room, the stop on a window.

Rolling over and hopping off the bed, I walk towards the window. My firearm never leaving it's threat at the mare. I stop at the window and look out, seeing an overlook on Ponyville. I turn back to the intruder.

"What did you do to me?" I ask, getting close to intimidate. Putting my gun almost right on her muzzle.

"U-uh... I-i didn't do anything. I just walked into my room and saw you asleep on my bed. If anything I should be asking who you are."

"I'm sorry for that, Starlight. Your room was the only empty bedroom at the time." Twilight says, walking in. I sigh, lowering the gun. She is friendly.

"I'm sorry... For the gun.... In your face..." I say, ashamed. I switch the gun from my left wing to my right, then place it back in it's holster.

"It's okay, I shouldn't of scared you." Starlight says. I look at Twilight.

"Do you know if it worked?" I ask her.

"No, but we can find out." She says, her horn glowing purple (a lot of purple going on) and the blinds close. Leaving the room in total darkness.

I blink a couple of times my eyes adjusting to the darkness. Soon enough, I can see as if the blinds were open.

"It worked." I say, looking at them. Then realising they can't see.

"Great! Close your eyes. I don't want to blind you when I lighten the room up." Twilight tells me. I close my eyes, I can see the change of light from under my eyelids. A minute later, I open my eyes again.

"How long does it last?" I ask the alicorn.

"About a week."

"Great!" I say, then walk over. "Thank you, princess." I bow. Standing back up I walk to the door.

"Time to go get my partner back." I say and walk out the door. From in the room I hear starlight giggle.

"She bowed." Followed by more giggling.
