When Twilight and Spike had gotten hope to their library, it was just as Spike had said, ruined. There were only bits of the magnificent tree left, and of course, those pieces were levitating upside down. Manticores, Griffins, ponies, just about every THING in the world was loose, and running about in Ponyville. Tears welled up in Twilight Sparkle's eyes.
"Everything... it's gone!" She sobbed. Where would they live? What would she read? What would anypony else read for that matter? More thoughts whizzed around the purple mare and consumed her brain. "AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?!" She thought aloud, angrily. "Twilight, what are we gonna do?" Spike asked worriedly. "I don't know Spike," She replied.
"TWILIIIIIGHT!" Twilight turned her head to see Ranibow Dash flying towards her, rather, falling. She noticed Dashie had no wings! "Rainbow? What are you doing?" She shouted. Rainbow Dash's wings suddenly returned, lopsided with the left one significantly smaller. She wiggled her legs and hovered in the air for a moment, flew up, and plumited again. "Rainbow Dash? Are you alright?" Twilight asked running to her friend. "Yeah, I'm alright I guess." she assured, standing up. "What's up with everypony today? Everything is just horrible! AJ's farm is about to go out of business, my home is gone,and now-" "YOU CALL THOSE PROBLEMS TWI? I HAVE A TRY OUT AS A REPLACEMENT FOR THE WONDERBOLTS UNTIL SPITFIRE'S WING IS HEALED! HOW CAN I FLY WITH NO WINGS? Or... miss matched wings, wait," Rainbow's wings were disappearing again. "We need to find out what's going on around here fast, if we three are having problems, I'm sure Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Rarity are too."
Twilight and Rainbow Dash walked to Sugar Cube Corner, Rainbow complaining about her wings and the Wonderbolts the whole way. "Well everything looks fine around here," Twilight murmured taking a look around. "nothing's destroyed." The blue pegasi stood up straight as an arrow. "Hear that Twilight? This is wrong, this is all wrong." she whispered. "Huh? What are you talking about? I don't hear anything." Twilight replied with a puzzled look. "Right, you hear silence Twilight. We're talkin' about Pinkie Pie here, there's no balloons, no music, no lights, just dark silence." Then they both saw alight on the top floor turn on, Pinkie looked through a curtain, and then ran down stairs to let her friends in. "So Pinkie Pie, any uh, disasters happen lately?" Rainbow Dash asked curiously. No response. They all sat in silence for a moment. "Pinkie, anything bad happen around here?" Rainbow asked. No response. "HEY PINK!" Rainbow shouted, waking up not only all of Ponyville but probably Princess Celestia as well. "HAS ANY MAJOR CATASTROPHE HAPPENED TO YOU IN THE LAST DAY OR TWO?" Pinkie's hair deflated as she turned around. She was silently sobbing. She opened her mouth and mouthed the words "I can't talk guys." Twilight was puzzled. "What the hay... why is everypony..." she was in deep thought. She'd seen a hand full of other ponies on her way home and to Sugar Cube corner, so why was this only happening to them?
Spike belched out a letter that could only be from Twilight's mentor, Princess Celestia. She took it immediatly. "Twilight, come to Canterlot as soon as you can. Bring your friends." The writing was sloppy and must have been written in a hurry. "Come on guys, we need to get Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack."
"Hello Dr. Hooves! Thank you for helping me at such a late hour."
"Why, no problem Twilight; what exactly is your problem again?"
Twilight tried to put it into words, but she couldn't. All she knew was that it was very important that she help her dear friend Apple Jack with it. It was something to do with technology and apples. Apple Jack had called her up at 3:00 am, screaming and panicking. Twilight couldn't exactly make out what she was saying, all she heard was, "TWI! MAH SJGFLADFGB NON OF MAH APPLE PICKIN' TECHNOLOGY SDLGFBLIAGBFAERGIJD MAH APPLES ARE ALL CRAZY SRTTHSHDFETYEFUCKYOUARFG AH NEED YOUR HELP!" So Twilight called upon the pony with the most experience with technology she knew, Dr. Hooves.
"Well, I"m not exactly sure," Twilight said. "You see, Apple Jack called me with a problem; it was something to do with technology. I figured you would be able to help."
Suddenly, Apple Jack and Spike ran into the room, a bit out of breath. "Twilight!" Spike exclaimed. "I... we... have a problem!" Spike fell to the floor, exhausted. Twilight figured they must have run the whole way there, which was quite a distance from the library.
"Spike, what in the name of Celestia is going on?" Twilight asked.
AJ responded, "Twilight, Discord's back. You see, we've got ourselves a new apple pickin' machine this year because we've got a particularly big crop, and - "
"There's no time AJ! We need Twilight now! Twilight, the library! It's upside down, and, and the books! The characters are just coming right out of the books! They've destroyed just about everything we own!" said Spike.
"Oh no!" cried Dr. Hooves. "Twilight, it's seems your friends are in quite a predicament. Why, I don't know if I can help! I'm sorry, however, I may be able to fix your machine Apple Jack. Why don't you bring it in here sometime and I'll have a little looksie-" Before Dr. Hooves could finish, Apple Jack had already gone outside and was just coming back in with the machine. "Well, it looks fine to me," the doctor said, thouroughly checking the machine.
"No it ain't! Why, just look at this here apple! Whatever this thing plucks, rots! My family can't be selling ponies rotten fruit!" exclaimed Apple Jack.
Suddenly, Twilight had a horrible thought. If AJ's produce was being destroyed, and her library was being destroyed as well... THE LIBRARY WAS BEING DESTROYED!?
"Spike, we need to go home now! I just hope no pony else is having this problem!
