The War of Equestria

The world didn't fall apart right away. The day started out fairly normal. I finished Harry Trotter and the Order of Philomena for the fifth time, Fiery Thunder stalked the amzing, best flyer in all Equestria, and the bringer of awesome Rainbow Dash. I relaxed, glacing at my picture of Flam. It was of him laughing, on the Super Squeezy when he was a little kid. The picture was cute, and really expressed him at his best. I sighed and looked around the room. I was comfortable, so I didn't really want to get up. But, all the same, it was my night to make dinner. So I pushed myself upward and walked into the kitchen. I was pulling out a chunk of extra sharp white chedder cheese from Cracker's Barrel(I can only eat this kind of cheese, and Fiery Thunder really likes it, so it works well.) when the floor rumbled. I stumbled, only just catching the cheese. And thank Celestia for that. As I balenced the cheese safely inside my saddlebag, I stuck my head out the window. I looked around, and saw Lily faint. No surprise there, she has no guts. Anyways, I was looking around, and I saw what was shaking the town.  There was a massive three-headed dog barking at the edge of the Everfree Forest.

I blinked, shoke my head, and looked again. Okay, so it wasn't my imagination. I ran, of course, to Twilight's library. "Twilight! Twilight!" I yelled, causing her to open the door. "What is it, Shylyfly? I'm busy reshelving." I turned, and pointed towards Ceberus. "Oh. Yeah, I'll take care of that." She put down the book she was shelving, and head out. I looked at the book. It was called 'Nightmare Moon and other foal tales'. I picked it up, and flipped through it. There was one story that caught my eye. The last fluttertale was called 'The War of Equestria'.  I looked at it, and started reading. It may sound odd, but I trusted Twilight to get rid of Ceberus. Plus, once I start reading a book, nothing can stop me. The story went like this:

Once apon a time...

There was two royal princesses. However, the one who ruled the night became very jelous, and became...

I flipped past the next few sentences. I already knew the story by heart.

... Someponies believe that if the princess of the night ever returns, her dark side will plauge Equestria with war, and that the only one who could stop her is a pony nopony will expect. In the final battle, she'll...

I frowned. The words were smudged from here on, as if the ink was smeared, or... or somepony was trying to hide the ending.

I tried to make out what it said for a few more seconds, when Spike walked over. "Hey, I'm probably going close the library soon." He said. "If you want to read the rest of the book, you'll have to check it out." I nodded and did just that. "Ok, you have... 5 books that are over-due." Spike said, rolling his eyes. "Do you want me to write them down? For the fifth time?" I nodded sheepishly and left, holding the book in one wing and the list in the other. "Let's see... The Discord Machine, Harry Trotter and the Half-Unicorn Pegasus, History of Equestria, Saxophone Music and Your Kitten. Those last two books are by my bed, and the rest are... somewhere." I thought for a second, and bumped into Fiery Thunder. "Where's the cheese?" She asked me. "In my saddlebag, why?" Fiery Thunder blinked. "I tried cooking dinner, and now everything you put out is burned." She admitted. I hit her. "Ow! You said you'd stop doing that!" She said, flailing her hooves at me. "Well, it's not my fault you're so irritating." I replied sharply. "Did you burn the chocolate chips?" I asked. "Um... we have black brownies now?" I glared at her and said "I was going to make cookies with those!" I said, stomping home. "Sorry!" Fiery Thunder said, trying her best to look like she meant it. "Just shut up." I said.

We continued like this until we got home, and then I managed to find enough stuff to make two cheese sandwiches.
