Chapter 1

Twilight waved to her mother as she drove away.

"Need any help with that?" Sunset asked, noting her friends overstuffed backpack.

Twilight shook her head. "No thanks! Just the regular sleepover supplies plus the necessary supplies for the project.

"Sure..." Sunset said, recalling her friend's loose definition of 'necessary' when it came to academic stuff. It reminded her of Rarity and the mountains of 'necessary' luggage she carried whenever she took a trip. "Anyway, let's head in, Celestia and Luna should be home soon."

The two girls then entered the large, Glorianain style home.

"Are you sure you wouldn't rather do this at your place again?" Sunset asked.

"Mom's taking the chance to have a 'girl's' night' with some of the other mothers while Dad's visiting his parents. And knowing my mother..."

"Ah..." Sunset nodded. "Nice to see she hasn't changed."

Twilight sighed. "Yeah...At least here we could get some peace and quiet. And Fluttershy was more than happy to keep Spike and Owlowiscious tonight."

The two girls had been paired up to do a project for class, the and realized they could could get more work done with a sleepover. Deciding to give her mother and her friends some necessary 'peace', Twilight had asked if she could spend the night with Sunset at Celestia's and Luna's place. Thankfully, the Principals were more than welcoming.

They quickly went up the stair and down the hall as Sunset gave the grand tour.

"That's the bathroom....hall closet....Celestia's room.." She pointed to a door where 'Celestia' had been written on in cursive pink glitter, causing both girls to giggle.

The Sunset paused as they went by another door. "This is Luna's room." She turned to her friend. "Trust me: Don't even try to go in there. It's locked and she's super overprotective about it. I don't know why."

"Well, you do know how she likes her privacy."

"Yeah, but in all the time I've lived here, I haven't even gotten a glimpse of that room once."

Then, they finished up at Sunset's room.

"Just leave you bag on the bed. We have a fold out we can get later. Celestia said she'd pick up pizza for dinner so we can get started now."

With that, the two girls got to work on their project, using the supplies Twilight brought they solved problems, wrote equations, and between the two geniuses they were already halfway done by the time the adults came home with the cheesy goodness.

At dinner everyone ate, talked and laughed, and even the normally solitary Luna threw out a few jokes as they chugged down the soda they picked up.

Soon though, the girls were back to work and had just finished up by the time Celestia called for lights out. With the adult's help, they retrieved the fold out bed, a few pillows and a comfortable blanket and set it up right next to Sunset's.

"Thanks again for letting me stay over." Twilight said as they finished getting the bed ready.

"Don't worry about it! It was our pleasure!" Celestia smiled. "Sunset knows she's welcome to bring friends by anytime she wants."

"Provided she gives us some fair warning." Luna chimed in.

Sunset gave a nervous smile as she rubbed the back of her head. "I know but....it's still the Principal's house you know...?"

Celestia just giggled. "In any case goodnight girls."

"Night!" Both girls chimed as the door shut.

Finally, both girls got in their pajamas and went to sleep.

Several hours passed, and the moon was now in the far corner of the sky. All was quiet in the house.

In Sunset's room, the two girls were sound asleep in their respective beds, and even Ray was sleeping comfortable in his tank.

Suddenly, without warning, Twilight sat up, her eyes were half open but appeared distant and foggy, her mind didn't seem to be fully there.

Slowly, she got out of bed and stood up, walked to the door, and left the room quietly shutting it behind her.

In a zombie-like manner, she walked through the hall until she stopped right outside of Luna's room.

She put her hand to the doorknob and, summoning a little magic, undid the lock and turned the knob.

Luna's room was...surprisingly ordinary. Several photos sat on a drawer and a few star charts hung on the walls. The only noticeable things were the several computers and other technical components on a large desk, the thick, old books stacked around, and the woman herself sound asleep on a large queen sized bed.

Without looking around or even glancing at the woman, Twilight walked up to a blank part of the wall. She put a hand up and let the magic flow until the wall started to glow. A hidden door then appeared and Twilight opened it, revealing a dark, magically hidden hallway.

Twilight walked through before coming upon another door and, just like before, opened it automatically.

The room dark but with a very bright white pentagram drawn on the floor. Across from her stood something covered in an old tarp.

Twilight crossed the room and in one swift motion, grabbed the tarp and pulled it off, revealing an old, rectangular floor mirror.

The wood was old, purple and elegantly carved at the top.

Despite the fact that it had to have been under the tarp for a while, there wasn't a speck of dust on the mirror, allowing it to reflect Twilight's image perfectly....

.....until her image disappeared and a new one appeared. The figure, if it could be called that, was a shadowy substance that appeared to be made out of the night sky and was vaguely shaped like a woman.

It grinned sinisterly and reached out as Twilight began to reach out her hand. Just as her finger was about to brush the glass.....

......another hand appeared, grabbing her wrist as her hand just centimeters short of the mirror.

Luna quickly looked over the girl, nodded in confirmation, and gently moved her away from the mirror, before standing in front of it herself and glared at the shadowy figure..

"Not tonight, and not her." She stated icily as she used her magic to restore the tarp over the mirror, much to the shadowy figures horror.

She then returned to Twilight and, reaching an arm around her shoulders, began to gently guide away.

"Come on. Let's get you back to bed."

As they entered the hallway, Luna grabbed the door and gave the mirror one last look before shutting the door.

Luna walked Twilight back to her room, hiding the door once again, and guided her through the halls to Sunset's room and back to her bed. Thankfully, no once else appeared to have been woken up.

"There." Luna said as she tucked Twilight back in. As the teen closed her eyes once again, Luna put a hand to her head. He hand began to glow blue.

"May the Moon Goddess protect you and grant you safe passage into sleep." Luna murmured and Twilight drifted back to sleep as the woman gently petted her head.

Luna got up and stood at the doorway, taking one last look at the sleeping Twilight before sighing heavily and quietly shutting the door.

And thus, the house was peaceful once again.

The next morning everyone sat at the breakfast table, happily chewing on the decorated pancakes Celestia made them.

"So how did you girls sleep last night?" Celestia asked before taking a bite.

"Good." Sunset automatically replied as she greedily dug into her pancaked.

"Alright..." Twilight mumbled as swished around her fork or a few seconds, an uncertain look on her face.

"Are you ok?" Celestia asked.

"I know the bed isn't that comfy..."Sunset said.

"The bed was fine. I just...had a weird dream last night."

"Oh?" Celestia wondered, glancing over to Luna, whose expression remained stoic as she addressed Twilight.

"Don't worry about it. I would have sensed if something was wrong and I highly doubt it was a vision dream this time."

Twilight opened her mouth to say something but, upon thinking over the woman's words and the fuzzy images from her dream, decided to listen to her.

"You're right. It's probably just nothing." With that, she took a bite of pancakes.

Luna sat there, quietly eating her own breakfast, while inwardly sighing with relief.
