Nightmare in Ponyville

Twilight wakes up in her bed looking over at her alarm clock and sees that she had slept much longer than intended. Usually she would complain about sleeping in so late but considering last night’s events she was willing to make an exception for herself this time. Speaking of last night’s events Twilight thinking to herself, I better go and check on Trixie and see how she is doing.

Getting off her bed she trots over to Spikes old room and knocks on the door, no answer was to be found. Waiting a few seconds there was no response she decides to knock on the door again a bit more loudly a few more times but still no response. Well I guess she must still be sleeping, she must have been out on the road for a good while Twilight said to herself may as well make some breakfast for the two of us, I am sure she would love to have something nice cooked for her for once rather than whatever awful food she must have been scavenging on her travels.

Heading back to her room she decides to clean herself up. Walking up to the mirror in her bedroom she uses her magic to levitate a nearby brush in the air and starts working all the knots out of her mane with brush. After a few minutes of brushing herself she decides to go downstairs and make breakfast.

Making her way downstairs to the kitchen she finds the library is quiet and a bit on the messy side unlike what it used to be when she used to hang out with her friends. There were stacks of books piled up in places on a few tables not even put back on their shelves where they belonged. Some of them had a noticeable amount of dust coated on them even. It also did not help the matter that Spike was not around to keep the place maintained anymore. Walking through the library and into the kitchen she decides she will make something up on the stove for Trixie.

Using her magic she floats a frying pan off of a nearby rack hanging above the stove, she puts it down on the stove and uses her magic to turn it on. Using her magic once again she opens the fridge and levitates a few eggs to the frying pan, cracks them off the side of the pan and dumps them inside putting the shells on the nearby counter.

Now I need one of my knives to chop up some vegetables Twilight said trotting over to the knife rack on another counter. Looking at the rack she notices something odd, one of the knives are missing from the rack and it is one of the knives she always usually uses whenever she cooks in her kitchen. Hmm maybe I misplaced it somewhere oh well may as well check on the eggs so they don’t burn Twilight said out loud. Trotting back over to the stove with the frying pan full of eggs she was about to gets the spatula when she felt something tapping her on the back of her head. Turning around she sees a pony with a plastic hockey mask wielding a razor sharp butcher knife, suddenly the pony yells boo mother fucker making a sudden jerking towards her with the blade.

Twilight let out a startled scream which resulted in her accidentally throwing the frying pan up in the air which ended up hitting her in the head and the eggs she was cooking landing on the floor. Ow fuck, what the hell she said angrily after realizing who she thought her assailant was.

Trixie taking off the hockey mask said I gotcha good there oh you should have seen the look on your face it was just priceless she said with a grin on her face. Twilight who heart was still pounding hard in her chest twisted her face in anger said for fucks sake Trixie what the hell is wrong with you. Trixie suddenly dropped to the floor dropping the knife aside and bursted out loud in a fit of laughter, bahaha the way you jumped was just too funny I never thought before interrupting herself with even more laughter. I never thought some pony like you would be so jumpy but I was wrong Trixie said. Twilight who’s face turned a considerable shade of red said that is not funny you jerk what if somepony got hurt then who would be laughing. Trixie then laughing harder than ever pounding her hooves off the floor said between breaths I have not seen someone react so much to my antics for a while are we ever going to get along great in the future.

Yeah we sure are going to get along just great Twilight said with sarcasm rolling her eyes. You mind waiting in the library while I get this cleaned up and fix us up some food. Trixie picking herself up off the floor walked up towards Twilight and jabbed her with one of her hooves said yeah sure thing miss jumpy. Uggh Twilight said rolling her eyes, whatever Trixie just let me clean this mess up which you caused.

After a few minutes of cleaning up and putting everything back in order breakfast was finally cooked, Twilight hovered the plates in the air towards the table in the library Trixie was sitting at and set them down in front of her and Trixie. Twilight seated herself at the table sitting at the seat facing Trixie and said one thing I want to make clear is while I let you stay for the night don’t think this gives you the right to stay here she said glaring at Trixie. Trixie looking unfazed said Twilight you live all alone in this boring place and you don’t want me to stay, what is to say I am the best friend you will ever have. Yeah right like that is ever going to happen Twilight said hovering one of the eggs towards her mouth using magic and eating one of them.

Suddenly there is a loud knock on the door, Twilight getting up from the table she said I wonder who it could be she said I don’t have anything I need help with puzzled as to who ever could want anything from her this time of day. Opening the door she sees a gray Pegasus pony with a blonde colored mane and funny eyes looking at her and in her mouth she is holding a scroll just like the ones princess Celestia used to send her, another thing she noticed was the overfilled saddle bags at her sides. Dropping it on the ground she said special delivery for Twilight Sparkle, picking up the scroll with magic she then said wait Derpy where did you get one of these anyway ? Only Celestia uses this kind of paper and even then only a dragon is able to conjure these up. The gray pony looked at her and said I don’t know really all I was told was to deliver it to you as soon as possible and that is all I know. Spreading out her wings the pony then takes flight slowly disappearing into the distance until out of sight.

Twilight picking up the scroll and closing the door then moves back over to the table and takes her seat setting the scroll down on the table in between her and Trixie. I wonder who this could be opening the scroll out on the table. Ooh I bet it is a love letter from a secret admirer Trixie said mockingly to Twilight. Haha very funny Trixie said Twilight, maybe you should have gotten a job as a comedian and not a magician then maybe you would have gotten somewhere in life. Oh shut up Trixie said in retaliation to Twilights witty remark. Hmm let’s see what this letter says Twilight said.

Dear Twilight Sparkle there is a serious matter to attend to that I would like you to meet me about concerning your five other friends. As you already know my sister Celestia has great trust in you and has taught you many great things, so I feel I have reason to trust in you as well. This time there will be lessons that I myself will teach you as the princess of the night. Since my sister is confident in you as her student I am giving you a rare opportunity that few ponies will ever have the chance of experiencing. Please come to the nightmare moon statue in the Everfree Forest at midnight and I will see you there. Oh and your new friend who just moved in with you make sure to bring her along too it has been awhile since I have had a magician in my presence. Yours truly Princess Luna.

Twilight scratching her head with hoof said that is odd whatever in Equestria could Luna ever need me for that Celestia would not, also friend surely she can’t be talking about you because you only had gotten here only hours ago. Duh Trixie said didn’t you read the letter she said she was giving you a super rare opportunity that very few ponies ever get, should that not be a clue to you, also how many magicians do you know dumbass huh, how many. Okay point proven I guess Twilight said.

Yeah okay then, do you want to go with me to visit a few of my friends today Trixie, I am sure you would love to get to know some ponies considering you plan on staying here Twilight said. Hah stay here in this dump are you kidding me. Who in their right mind would want to stay here Trixie said? I am interested in where you think you are going to live considering you don’t look like the kind of pony who can afford a residence in Canterlot. Cloudsdale is out of the question since you are not a Pegasus and most of all even if you did find a place somewhere just where would you get the bits? Last time I checked you were some pony out of bits and out of luck desperate for some place to stay Twilight said. Oh fine I guess Trixie will have to stay in this sleepy one horse town called Ponyville for now but don’t expect me to like this place Trixie said.

Hey Trixie since I want you to come along with me to see my friends, I have something neat to show you Twilight said. Ooh what can it be a spaceship, a deathray, maybe a nice shed to hotbox in that has leather seating and a Jacuzzi Trixie said with excitement in her voice. Twilight with a puzzled look on her face said wait why ever would I have a death ray in my backyard and a hotbox what in Equestria is one of them some kind of fancy name for a portable sauna? Oh I forgot you are one of those sheltered Canterlot types I forgot Trixie said waving her hoof in the air. No seriously what is a hotbox I have never heard of such a thing before Twilight said with a puzzled look on her face. Opening the door to her home she motioned for Trixie to come forward, Trixie lets not stall any further we have things to do today Twilight said.

Heading outside to the backyard Trixie finds a hot air balloon all prepped and ready for travel. Wait how did this get here I don’t recall seeing one of these here before Trixie said stumped as to how such a thing never caught her eyes before. Ever hear of something called magic, I thought you being a unicorn and all you would know these things Twilight said smugly to Trixie.  Oh shut up Trixie said jabbing Twilight in the side with one of her hooves. Ooh ouch that hurt so much I might cry Twilight said sarcastically.

Twilight stepping into the air balloon said hey Trixie I bet you never travelled in style like this before did you. Well step on in and stop acting like you never seen one of these before Twilight said. Trixie stepping into the hot air balloon with Twilight said are you sure this thing is safe, no pony wants the great and powerful Trixie to be the great and dead Trixie looking at Twilight with concern. Yeah about that don’t tempt me, as Twilight took the weights off of the balloon. Slowly the flying contraption started to lift off of the ground and gain some air the two of them took off into the sky.
