Meeting Spike

A purple and green baby dragon ran up the stairs quickly. "Four C, where is Four C?" he wondered. He stopped at the fourth floor and found suite C. He knocked.

"Coming!" shouted a voice. A lavender pony opened the door. "Oh! Hello little dragon. How may I help you?"

"I'm your pet Twilight!" said the dragon. "The name's Spike. Spike the brave dragon"

"I have no pets. Your owner must be worried! I am taking you home this instant. Where do you live?" Twilight sighed. She didn't completely believe Spike, but something told her that she just couldn't go home immediately. "Well...are you going to answer?"

"Fine I'll tell you. I live in Canterdale, Equestria" Spike sighed and looked down. When he looked back up, Twilight didn't move an inch. She looked at him, confused.

"How in Equestria did you travel to Manehattan from Canterdale? Huff. Well I must drive you home. At least you live in Equestria." Twilight sighed. She went to grab a few things first, however. She walked into her room and locked the door, as she began to stuff all of her clothing into a small purse. it was her emergency purse. In case she needed to travel small, but still carry a lot.

"Can't I stay?" Spike whined. "My owner is just pure evil!" he cried, but Twilight gave him a smile and a small giggle. "What's so funny about pure evil?" he asked.

"Spike, you are adorable! That was quite some story you made up. Now come along, We must find your owner! She must have called the royal guard by now" Twilight laughed. She grabbed her things and went. She saw Spike heading toward the stairs. "Spike! We don't need to use those old stairs! We shall just take the Magical Carrier!" Twilight called. She pointed to a grand box with an open side and a grey unicorn standing next to it. "First floor please" Twilight announced politely. She ushered Spike into the box and then stepped in it herself. The grey unicorn then used his magic to transport it to their destination.

Twilight Sparkle and Spike stopped their carriage near a massive home. A large moon was carved above the doorway.

"Spike!" cried a dark blue alicorn. "I've been looking everywhere for you!" She looked up at Twilight. "Thank you so much!"

"This is Twilight Sparkle. She's my real owner" Spike told his owner.

"You are Twilight? I mean, I'm the mayor of this fair town, my name's Luminn. You can go home now.." the mayor told Twilight with a slight glare.

The Curse

"Hurry!" a royal guard shouted. "It's coming!" The guard ran as fast as he could until he reached the grand throne room.

"But Princess! I don't know what to do! Where will I live? Where am I even going?" Twilight asked. " Is there a book to read about this place?"

"Twilight, I know you have a lot of questions but I don't know anything about your destination. You just have to trust me and get inside the apple tree trunk!" Princess Celestia told her worried student.

"Why aren't you going with me?" Twilight asked. "Or you go alone?"

"The tree only admits one and it was prophesied that you are the only pony in Canterlot who can free us from Nightmare Moon's curse" the Princess answered.

"It's here! It's here!" the same guard shouted. Soon, the palace was filled with the thundering sound of running hooves and the ear popping scream of the scared ponies who were swallowed by the curse.

"GO TWILIGHT GO!" Celestia shouted. Twilight climbed into the tree trunk but not completely. She had to find out what happened next. Princess Cadence burst through the door along with Shining Armor. He was badly wounded by Nightmare Moon's soldiers.

"Celestia! Fluttershy sent a dragon's egg. It can go through as well. He..." Cadence gasped as she threw the egg at Twilight. She caught it just in time. Nightmare's soldiers burst in, and as Shining Armor used his magic to hold them off, Twilight slipped into the trunk.

Twilight shut her eyes tight. The distant chattering of ponies made her force them open. She refused to get out of the trunk but eventually, her hunger drove her out of it. She looked at the dragon egg and placed it on a pile of flowers.

It was almost night time and she saw a city full of lights and bustling, fancy ponies. The tall buildings mesmerized her to go in. A giant sign was hung up near the entrance. It read: WELCOME TO MANEHATTAN! "What do I even do here?" the lavender pony wondered. Suddenly, she hit her head against a lamp post and the last thing she saw was a group of ponies crowding around her...
