1 ~The Letter

The day bloomed with a beautiful sun which Celestia hadn't risen too long ago. All six ponies from the famous Ponyville stood before the two princess sisters. Princess Celestia; ruler of the sun and Princess Luna who rose the moon at night. Princess Celestia was asking Twilight Sparkle how she felt on becoming a royal princess, which meant living in the grand castle and having responsibilities. This also meant not having much time with her best friends. Before she became familiar with how important friendship is, Twilight would have dreamed this, but she couldn't leave her friends. Twilight looked up at her old teacher, tears almost brewing in her magenta eyes. She couldn't leave them. But she couldn't disappoint the Princesses.

"So?" The white princess asked softly, a smile across her face.
"I - I - I can't... I can't do it!" Twilight said. Luna frowned.
"You can't live here?" Celestia asked, although she understood Twilight.
"Well... I just can't decide!" Twilight turned to her friends, they all had understanding faces, but the violet princess wondered if they actually wanted Twilight to stay. Princess Celestia chuckled.
"It's okay Princess Twilight. I understand, I'm sure you'd rather spend time with your friends? They mean so much to you after all."
Twilight was stunned. "So... I'm not letting you down?"
"Not in any way dear. Now go on, return to Ponyville before they find a new librarian!" Celestia laughed and directed Twilight gently with her wing, towards her friends.
"Goodbye Princess, thank you!" Twilight trotted back and gave her pre-mentor a hug, before returning to her friends who stood patiently behind.

As they left the castle, Rainbow Dash beamed in happiness. "I knew you'd never leave us Twi! Just one thing, you don't have wings only to look more majestic and show off you being an alicorn... They are to fly with, sis! Come on, you need to start carrying yourself to places rather than walking. Walking is sooo lame and boring nowadays! Look, you barely ever see me on the ground do ya?" Rainbow explained, trying to convince her. The alicorn laughed.
"Apart from when you're in front of the ruler of Equestria!"
"Huh?"
"Well you weren't flying then were you?" Twilight said giving the cyan Pegasus a nudge from below. Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and dropped to her feet.
"I was in front of Royalty." Twilight opened her mouth to protest and point out that she now counted as Royalty, but Dash stopped her with her hoof.
"Now give it a go!!"

Twilight even stayed in the air while purchasing her train tickets. She flew in through the train door. She hovered above her seat, then suddenly collapsed onto the soft chair. The ponies rushed to her side, all gasping worriedly. Except Rainbow Dash.
"C'mon guys, she just needs a rest because I've been making her do so much flying!" Rainbow laughed, but too went towards Twilight. "You're okay, aren't you flying buddy?"
" 'Ahd stop talkin' to her like that Rainbow! You're not her boss okay? Give her a break, what if she ain't wanna be flyin' all day?" Applejack butted in, rather harshly. This time Rarity stepped in.
"Yes. I agree with Applejack. Fluttershy is a perfectly normal Pegasus, and she doesn't fly everywhere!" Fluttershy blushed, although having no reason to what so ever.
"Well I wouldn't say Fluttershy was a normal Pegasus... She's practically scared of the sky!" Rainbow Dash said, nudging Rarity. The group continued to argue, while Twilight lay on the seat, her head starting to throb as well as her wings.
"Girls, please!" She called, and to her satisfactory, they all fell quiet. "Thank you. I hate it when we argue. I'm fine, just a little tired. Now let's all have peace on our journey home!" The train finally chuffed into movement, suddenly reaching a high speed. Outside, the poshly trimmed bushes of Canterlot faded away, as the view became more rural.

Even though Twilight was tired, she was so happy she was spending the night with all her friends together. As she settled into her bed, the ponies slept in sleeping bags, with a couple of huge mattresses on the floor of the upstairs part of the library. Rarity, Pinkie and Fluttershy shared one, while AJ and Rainbow slept on the other. Spike also lay in his little basket bed, while admiring Rarity as she dreamed. Suddenly he burped out flames, with a scroll flying out of his mouth. He was interrupted from staring at the sleeping beauty from a late night's letter! "What the hay?" He murmured. Holding the scroll together was the golden 'C' for Princess Celestia. Spike opened it up, and in the dark just managed to make out the messy writing: Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle. He shrugged then forced himself out of the bed and set it on Twilight's pillow. He returned to bed and fell asleep instantly.

Twilight grumbled and turned on her side. She twitched her ears at the noise of metal clanking together. Sounded like breakfast. 'But I don't even have a flipping kitchen!' She thought. Twilight couldn't be bothered to go and investigate, yet she sat up to see that everyone had got up. 'Whoa. What's the time? 9:45 already? Gee, I must've been tired last night...' Twilight still said in her mind. Just as she was about to have the will to get up, Pinkie Pie appeared holding a tray with some food. Following was Applejack, carrying a jug of Apple Cider. Twilight smiled in appreciation and pushed her pillow up, then settling back in a comfy position. "Aw guys, you didn't need to do this! I was just getting up." Twilight grinned. Pinkie set down the tray and let Applejack pour in the juice.
"But you're a Princess, and you were tired last night, so we just had to make you a brilliant breakfast, right? With the two best bakers in town, me and of course AJ!!" Pinkie rambled.
"Bu-" Twilight began.
"We went over to Sugarcube Corner, and practically lugged the oven and kitchen stuff in here!" Pinkie laughed. Applejack came to rescue by spotting the alarmed look on Twilight's face.
"Don't worry sugar cube, we just did the cookin' over there! We'd never bring all that stuff in, we ain't that mad... Heh heh..." Applejack giggled.
"I mean I might be that mad cos I suggested it, but then you might as well call me the mad hatter! Which is funny because that seems to rhyme with batter, and that's to do with-" Applejack's hoof wedged into the bright pony's mouth, turning her waffling into muffling.

Rarity trotted into the room, levitating a beautifully laced dress. "Look Twilight! I made you this dress! It fits to your wings too!" Rarity squealed and laid it down on the bed covers.
"Guys, why? Rarity, it's beautiful but why are you just giving it to me? I haven't done anything special..." Twilight said, taking a spoonful of her cereal.
"Oh! Why Twilight, you've just become a Princess darling! We're all so proud of you! Now hurry up so I can fit this dress onto you, and do any changes!" Rarity smiled. Twilight returned the smile, and started eating her cereal quickly. Pinkie glanced at AJ and giggled silently. Applejack nudged her. They'd planned a fantastic party for the new princess, everyone was downstairs, squished into the bookshelves, ready to jump out and squeal "WELL DONE TWILIGHT!" Pinkie Pie couldn't resist putting a party hat on and then hiding it again. Twilight ignored it, thinking she was just being random.

Once Twilight had finished her delicious bowl of cereal, Pinkie Pie and Applejack whisked the tray away from her and ran downstairs. Rarity had been standing at the corner of the room, waiting patiently.
"Yay you're ready!" Rarity squealed, and helped her friend from her bed, then covered her in the golden dress.
"Whoa! Couldn't you have let me do my teeth?" Twilight asked, speaking with a muffled voice. Rarity ignored the mare, and started doing up lace, buttons and zips.
"Hmm... I'm just going to add couple more sequins around the hem, give me a minute!" Rarity got out her travelling, dress-making kit and quickly sewed more shining glam onto the dress. After a few minutes of the pretty white unicorn deciding what more she could add, she pronounced the dress as perfect!

Twilight could barely walk, so to Rainbow's delight, Twilight flew down to the ground floor in her library. As soon as her hooves were meant to touch the floor, all the ponies were to jump out and celebrate, but as she was an inch off the ground, Twilight remembered the scroll she'd spotted on the floor, beside her bed. She flew back up and picked it up. "Hey, girls?" The mare called, and the five best friends silently crept out of the bookshelves, then trotted up the stairs.
"Yeah?" They said in unison.
"Look, I got this letter from princess Celestia. Why would she send it to me? And I could have sworn Spike put it onto my bed in the middle of the night! Look, her writing is different too!" Twilight said suspiciously.
"Well everyone has their days when they just can't really be bothered to write properly I guess..." Pinkie suggested. Twilight opened the scroll further, the started reading aloud.
"Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle,
I know you have just become a Princess and all, but I think you should try out this interesting spell. I'm giving you one last task as my student, try and figure out what this spell means. Then read it out.
One way or another, one day or another.
Places switch, worlds move,
Friendship stays together, but what about -"
"Don't read it yet!" Rarity squealed. "Just read it in your head! What do you think it means?" She asked.
"I have no idea. It just suggests things switching, and worlds too!" Twilight said.
"Now read it out!! This sounds good!" Rainbow Dash said. Twilight took a deep breath. Fluttershy grabbed onto AJ, she was obviously worried already.
"One way or another, one day or another.
Places switch, worlds move,
Friendship stays together, but what about collision?
What about time? What about rhythm?"

A blur of purple spun around the six ponies, who all suddenly screamed aloud. Rainbow Dash tried to control it, but nothing happened. It was like a huge, violet twister. All their vision was disorientated and they could only hear wind whispering through their ears, along with each other's terrified screams.

Author's Note

2 ~Parallel Worlds

There's a storm comin' chapter 2

Rainbow Dash was the first to wake up. She yawned and stretched her legs out, moaning in pain at first. As she opened her eyes, everything that had happened flew into her head. She bolted upright. "Ohmygosh!" She squealed and went to wake up Twilight. She suddenly stopped and looked around her. Dash sighed in relief. "Phew. Nothing happened, we're still here." A pang of disappointment swelled inside her, it would have been awesome to be in another world. Rainbow froze. What was that?
"No you go up! It's your house!"
"But... What if there's a monster? There was a huge bang!" Two voices came from below. It was a female voice first, then a deep, handsome voice. Rainbow gasped.
"Twilight! Wake up, please!" The cyan pegasus hissed. Twilight did as Rainbow wished, and slowly got up.
"What? Oh relax, looks like that spell did nothing. How am I going to figure the riddle out?" Twilight said, starting to talk to herself. Twilight hadn't noticed, but her dress was torn, the beautiful lace limped and a lot of strands fell out of place. The golden material was messed up, ruffled and there were sequins covering the floor.
"No! Listen!" Once again, the voices argued about who was coming to check out what was in his room. The room looked just like Twilight's bedroom, yet without the pictures of her, spike and the mane 6. Slowly, each pony woke up and RD and Twilight had to tell them what was going on. Rarity blinked a couple of times, and froze in her position. After a few seconds, she wailed out loud.
"T-T-T-Twilight! Your- y- y- m-m-my dress I made..!" She then fell back on the floor, crying.Twilight looked down at her dress, upset.
"Oh... I'm so sorry Rarity!" She said, and started taking it off. Twilight placed the ruined dress on the bed and lay down next to the white and purple unicorn.

Rainbow bravely stood at the top of the stairs and said: "That's it! I'm going down." She trotted down the steps with her wings tucked in. Again, everything was set out the same, just without Twilight and Spike's personal possessions. Rainbow looked at the two ponies. The two strangers... The female had a light shade of pink coat, and a dark blue and purple mane. She held it high in a bun. The mare's cutie mark was a tube of lipstick and some blusher. Rainbow looked to the quivering stallion. He had a dark blue coat, a light yellow mane and his cutie mark was a book. "May I help?" The pink pegasus mare asked, looking scared herself.
"Um..." Rainbow Dash think! You can't just tell her you are from another world... "Yeah we are new round here, and were looking for the library... Guess me and my friends came in the wrong way... Heh..." She said, thinking of other things she could say.
"W-W-We?" The stallion said.
"Yeah, me and my friends. Guys come out!" Rainbow Dash said, turning and gesturing her spying friends to come out onto the stair case. The pink pegasus spoke up again.
"Well why didn't you come through the door?" She said strongly. Pinkie took this question.
"Cos we are weeeiiirrd ponies! And ponies don't just walk through doors... They take the window! Betcha can't do that now, can ya?" She giggled, getting a light smack from Rainbow Dash. "Ouch!" She giggled.
"Okay... So lets just pretend you walked through the door and are looking for your book or whatever you needed. Come on down!"

Twilight's POV

My heart exploded as I saw that handsome stallion unicorn. I suddenly felt the need to protect him, care for him... Love him... I didn't listen to the ponies discussing how they got in, instead, I stared at the unicorn.
"Sure!" Pinkie smiled and bounced down the steps. "So... Are you two mare friend and colt friend?" She said nosily. The words struck me like lightning. Would they? Could they? Yes, they certainly could be together. I waited like a foal wanting to know if they could get the pot of sweets they'd wanted.
"What?! Oh no, no way!" They both said, still explaining how they were definitely not together. They kept pointing at each other and laughing.
"Never in a million years!" The Pegasus laughed, but it looked like the unicorn felt as struck as me. I trotted down the stairs and as I got closer to the stallion, my heart thumped louder.
"Well you should be! So... What are your guys' names?" Pinkie asked, then starting to pretend looking for a book.
"I'm Eclipse..." The stallion said.
"And I'm Mel." The pink pony said. I opened her mouth to say my name, but I couldn't. I blushed and flew over to a bookcase.
"Where is 'Mastering Organisation'? I thought it was over here..." I said, scanning the bookcase. Rainbow Dash squeaked and flew over to me.
"Ahem princess, how are you supposed to know that?" Rainbow Dash hissed.
"Oh, ermm... I don't even know why it would be here, because it's not like I've been here, let alone lived here! Ahaha..." I laughed awkwardly, probably making matters worse. Everyone stared at me. Eclipse glanced at Mel. He shook his head.
"Mastering Organisation is actually on this shelf." The stallion said, walking over to some more books. He raised a hoof, then using his magic, brought down the book and placed it in front of me. I smiled gratefully.
"Thanks." I choked out. I started flicking through the pages, although I had memorised most if the book anyway. I went and sat down on a seat, peeking over the pages at Eclipse. I couldn't stop watching him. He started making a conversation with Rarity. The little flirt... I scowled in my head. I w taken aback at what I'd thought. "Uhh, Rarity?" I asked, jealousy travelling through my body as they both started laughing. The unicorn battered her eyelashes and then excused herself to come over to me.
"Yes Twilight?" She still seemed a bit miffed at how her dress was ruined.
"I think you should read this book. I mean, it's about organisation and believe me, I've seen your inspiration room... I can't believe you messed it up again after Sweetie Belle tidied it!" I giggled and passed the book over to her.
"Umm... Thanks... I'll read it later." She said, gently pushing the book back towards me. She obviously was confused with how I was acting while we were in another world. I crossed my hooves as Rarity sauntered back to Eclipse.
"There's no need to worry, Rarity flirts with every guy!" Pinkie's head spoke from a bookshelf.
"Gah! Pinkie! How do you... Know?" I said, lowering my voice. Pinkie fell about laughing and jumped out of the shelf.
"Well it is kinda obvious when you stare at him longingly! I bet you will date loads of times, get married, move back to Equestria, have kids, have grandchildren, watch-" Again, the pink pony was shut up by a hoof in her mouth. I didn't just make her be quiet from her 'driving-you-crazy' waffling, but also because she was speaking so loud! I pulled her close, still with my hoof in her mouth.
"Pinkie promise me. Don't even tell anyone my feelings for him! You can't!" I bellowed, then grinning sheepishly as everyone started at me.
"Twalight? Whatcha doin' with Pinkie?" Applejack mused, coming towards us. My hoof flew out of her lips in embarrassment, then gawping at the saliva dribbling down it. Rarity gagged and looked away, turning Eclipse round with her. Fluttershy flew over to me and laughed gently.
"Um, Twilight? What were you doing?" She trotted over to Pinkie and asked if she was okay.
"I was ... Doing something. Anyway, I think we should go. We've had a nice look around here, we best be off to explore more of Ponyville." I walked out the door, slamming it a bit. I could still here the voices, and Rarity's seemed to be the loudest in my head. I sat down and hung my head low, feeling a tear rolling down my cheek.
"Oh well, we should meet again sometime my dear!" Rarity's voice stabbed me. "The theatre? Sure! See you soon! Mwah!"
