An Unexpected Visit

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

The night was cold and frigid with the winds of the winter days.

Twilight Sparkle lay in bed with her reading glasses and a book.

She was currently studying the art of magical paint, the title for a type of unicorn magic.

It revolved around using a prism to make a colour flow with magic energy.

She read on, fascinated.

As the night grew old, the unicorn set herself to a better fit.

Little did she know she would be doing things she never imagined within the hour.


Across the rare and expensive piece of parchment, a letter was scribbled.

The words which shown the pleas of an old mare appeared.

Some time after, the letter was sent, the sender eager to hear back.


As Twilight lay in bed reading the final chapter of her book, her assistant walked through her door.

"Hey Twi?" He addressed her, "You got mail."

She looked up from her book and removed her glasses, levitating over the letter out of the baby dragon's claws.

"Thanks, Spike."

Spike scurried off into the living room, or 'library room', leaving the lavender pony alone.

"Let's see..." She said, as she opened the parchment and began reading it.

Dearest Twilight Sparkle,

My apologies for the late night letter and wish not to interrupt.

I wish to meet with thee.

I request your guidance.

Please reply soon.

, Nightlight

Nightlight? She thought, I don't know any pony named Nightlight..Unless it's a Canterlot pony...

Hmm...I'd better reply.

She scribbled a note and re-read it.


Dear Nightlight,

We may meet upon the earliest you can manage.

, Twilight Sparkle

"Oh goody!" The reading pony clapped, "Huzzah! We have not been let down!"


Almost as immediately as she sent her response, Twilight heard a poof from downstairs.

She head down as quickly as she could to investigate.

There, she was meet with none other than, Princess of the Night Luna.

"Princess Luna!" She said surprised, "What're you doing here?"

"Twilight!" She said turning, "It is good to see thou again! I received your invitation! Is this not a good time?"

"Invita-oh! You're 'Nightlight?'" She asked.

"Did you not know this? I thought I may have mentioned it before.."

"Perhaps it slipped my mind." Twilight chuckled.

"Perhaps it did. Anyway, Twilight, what I ask is of great importance."

"What is it, Princess?"

"I wish to be instructed again in the ways of a modern day pony..."

"Um...Gee I wouldn't really know where to begin or..."

"But I believe in you, Twilight Sparkle, as you have helped us be understood before, on the night of Nightmares."

"Well I guess I could try?"

"Excellent! Should we begin at once?"

"Well I was kind of reading a book and it's kinda late.."

Twilight Sparkle scratched her head awkwardly.

"It matters not. I shall return again tomorrow and we may begin."

She took Twilight's hooves in her own,

"And thanks again, Twilight. This means a lot to me."

"Of course princess! I could never turn a pony down!"

She chuckled,

"Especially one such great power like you."

"Oh you jest! Anyway, I look forward to tomorrow."

"Me too."

"Have an enjoyable night, MsSparkle."

"You too, Luna."

The princess vanished with a POOF, leaving Twilight to think about what had just happened.

"Um whoa okay? I'm just not gonna ask." Spike tread off to his bed and lay down, confused.
