Chapter 1

Luna's wondrous night has fallen upon the residents of Ponyville. Peaceful dreams of sugar cubes, and rainbows danced in the minds of the sleeping ponies. In one tree house in particular though was not having a restful night's sleep. Twilight Sparkle laid in her bed tossing and turning. Spike was in his bed curled up in a ball, while his unicorn friend was having a terrible nightmare.

The sun was shinning down upon her and her five pony friends. They were having a relaxing time by the pond, eating pie. Laughter echoed in the dream atmosphere. Grey storm clouds went unnoticed until they covered Celestia's magnificent sun. Twilight glanced to her friend Rainbow Dash, pointed at the clouds, and said something inaudible. Rainbow gave her a salute and flew off towards the sky. A purple aura surrounded a cupcake when a sudden cold wind chilled the air. Gazing up not only did she see the sun gone, but Rainbow Dash as well.

Twilight began to worry as she attempted to ask her friends what was happening. No sound came from her mouth. Further more it seemed that her friends were completely oblivious to the dire situation. While she panicked, they played, ate, and laughed. Looking closer she discovered that the sun covered sky was over her, not them. Twilight grew sad seeing that her friends were better off without her. It was then she noticed Rainbow had too abandoned her. Rain began to fall down upon the purple unicorn. Grief struck Twilight as a purple light encased her, and she vanished.

The dream setting changed in a swirl of color, and light. Appearing in Celestia's throne room, Twilight trotted urgently to the princess. Bowing Twilight went on a silent report. Celestia gazed upon the unicorn, rolled her eyes, and to Twilight utter shock laughed. It was at that point the mare had lost all hope. Hearing the princess' cold cruel laugh, caused Twilight to blink back tears. The Canterlot throne room faded, the only thing was a light surrounding the now crying unicorn.

Twilight sat up from he horrible dream, to realize that was it was. She sighed as the sun rose over the purple horizon. Planting all four legs on the wood floor, she yawned. "I have slept all night, but I felt awful after that dream," she whispered to herself.

Spike stretched in his basket. Rubbing his dragon eyes, his cheeks puffed up, the baby dragon burped, green flames came forth, and formed a scroll. "Princess, sure is up early," he grumble, and laid back down.

Twilight chuckled. Opening the letter Twilight read:

Dear Twilight

My most faithful student I would love for you to visit Canterlot this weekend for I have a new spell for you to try. I'm sure you will love it.

From your beloved teacher

Celestia, Princess of Equestria

Scanning the letter once more the element of magic pondered something. . . . Shaking the thought from her head she levitated a quill, and paper.

My dearest, Princess Celestia

It will be an honor to learn a new spell. I know you have many things left to teach me, so I look forward to seeing you this weekend.

Your student,

Twilight Sparkle

With her letter complete she tapped Spike's head to wake him. "Spike, I need you to send a letter to the princess," Twilight whispered. The dragon sat up, and blow fire on the scroll. As Twilight watched the green flame fly out the window a blood curdling scream echoed through the library. Without a second thought the purple mare levitated Spike on her back, and raced out the door
