Fluttershy brought a BLT for lunch. Uh...what's a BLT?

Twilight Sparkle was granted a Royal Library as part of the castle in which she is residing, as Princess of Friendship. If her old library was good for the small village of Ponyville, the new library is graced with numerous and highly priced and valuable books, both great and small.

Pinkie Pie found joy in the value hidden within the still small library from the first day. She is regularly coming back, in search of books of direct interest, or randomly going through the books before her.

Pinkie Pie is found incapable of forgetting even the smallest detail, and having direct access to the wealth of knowledge she has been gathering: even if she had managed to forget her very own birthday, or other details of no humorous value.

As a Princess, Twilight Sparkle is holding on to books of value, books of great power in magic hidden among them. What happens, when the pink mare stumbles upon the dangerous material contained within these ancient tomes?

Twilight Sparkle has too much magic, and it will take her decades to learn to control it. Her spectacular loss of control during her entrance exam only proves that fact. She is a danger to herself and others.

After Sunset Shimmer’s disappearance, Princess Celestia needs a new student to bear The Element of Magic to defeat Nightmare Moon. With all of Equestria at stake, Twilight Sparkle…is not the pony she needs.

Princess Celestia seals Twilight Sparkle’s magic with the distant promise of one day teaching her.

But there are two diarchs of Equestria. Amidst a lucid dream, an offer is made.

“Hello, Twilight. Would you like to be my student?”

With nothing happening, no world-conquering villains or Crystal Hearts being shattered and so on, Twilight is bored. She has nothing to do, plainly. But while in the middle of a drab reading session, she notices something doesn't feel right. Not to her, but in the night sky. She can't see it, but she can sense it. Something not from this world has entered her world, and it could be the first ever message from aliens.

And perhaps those aliens are trying to say hello.

(Btw, look up "Pioneer Probe Plaque" if you want the image described here. I can't post the actual thing because of mild nudity in it, but you can search it for context.)

(Review by PaulAsaran!)

It's a ponified version of one of my favorite scenes from the 1987 movie Spaceballs. There's not much else to say other than I had a good laugh imagining this in the pre-dawn hours.

King Sombra is on the verge of enslaving the Crystal Empire; the guards are under his control, the royal baby is in his grasp, and the royal couple are at his mercy! So why is a baby laughing at him?
