Chapter 2

(kinda hard for me to do rhymes, but i shall try for Zecora )

A zebra was walking through the everfree forest, however, being very very careful. For the forest was full with dangers, whether it be the plants, or the strange and dangerous beasts

that lurked around every corner. Now one would ask, what was this zebra doing in

this dangerous place? Did they have a death wish of some sort?

But no, she in fact lived there, and today she needed a rare flower to create a potion.

Now this flower, was a very strange flower. Instead of needing the sunlight for energy, it use moonlight as energy. Which would make this hunt all the harder. Because during the day, the flower would close up, and become very hard to find.

However, coming into the forest at night was a very dangerous thing. Worse then during the day.

So Zecora had no choice, but to do this during the day.

It would prove to be a challenge, but she was up for it.

Zecora walked and walked, until she found a group of flowers. However, there'd be no way to tell if they were the flower she wanted, because there were quite a few closed up flowers in the everfree, that weren't the flower she was looking for.

There was only two ways to find out if they were that flower. To either wait until nightfall, or, to some how mimic moon light and trick them into thinking it's night time.

Zecora looked to her saddle bag, made by her friend Rarity. And she opened it. She pulled out a dark blue gem and held it up. A small amount of light shone through it. And as if by magic, the gem shone, the sunlight transformed into moon light.

The moonlight shone onto the flowers, and sure enough, all of them bloomed.

But there were 3 that were different. This flower was called Moon Tear. And you could tell it was a Moon Tear, because when the moon shone on it, it sparkled beautifully. Zecora smiled and picked those flowers very carefully and placed them into some jars she brought along.

Then she was prepared to go home, until she heard a groan. She froze, looked around and tried to look for the source.

But then her eyes caught something she didn't seem to notice before, how odd. She saw what she guessed was part of a tail.However, it wasn't a pony tail. And she could tell that. "now what is this i see? What kind of creature may you be?" She thought out loud and stepped towards the creature.

Then, when she saw it fully, she gasped and jumped back in fright. The creatures eyes slowly opened, and it yawned.

"Oh, where is it!?" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed, frantically looking around for a certain book. "SPIKE!" She yelled out for her number one assistant, and he came running. "Ya Twilight?" He looked at Twilight.

"Where is that book that we found?" Twilight asked "we sent it for repairs, remember? The bindings were about to fall off, and the book was so old and good you didn't want to lose it," Spike replied. Twilight groaned. She completely forgot about that.

"Well just great, the one time i do need something, i forget i sent it off somewhere," She grumbled. "What do you need it for?" "Well! I saw this great spell in it, and i wanted to try it out," Twilight grinned. Thinking about all the possibilities that spell had. "Well do you remember how it worked?" "No Spike, i only scanned that page...," Twilight said. "Well that's unlike you," Spike frowned. "Well you know i needed to find a spell to stop that plant monster from destroying Ponyville," Twilight said.

Just as Spike was about to say something, there was a bright flash of light. That blinded both Twilight and Spike.

They shielded their eyes from the light, and when it dyed down. They looked over to see a pure white unicorn, with a bright orange mane. Twilight was so shocked, she didn't know what to say or do.

For a while, both Spike and Twilight stared at the pony, which they assumed to be a mare. Because of how their body was shaped. But finally Spike broke the silence. "Twilight?" "Ya?" "Where'd that unicorn come from?" Spike pointed to the unicorn. "I don't know spike," She said in shock and walked towards the pony.

She stood less then a foot away from her, and inspected the unicorn. She saw her cutie mark, which was that of an open book, or perhaps a journal. For there was a quill pen over the book, as if it was writing in it.

The mare also had a long orange mane and a peach coat.

Then, the pony's eyes shot open and they lunged at Twilight. Twilight yelled out, as the unicorn tried to stab Twilight with her horn. Twilight managed to dodge the unicorn. She landed on the ground with a thud and groaned. Twilight cast a spell around the Unicorn so it couldn't attack anypony. "Spike, we need to get the girls here," Twilight said. Spike nodded and they both left the library to get the others there.
