On a late morning in ponyville, the inhabitants of the Castle of Friendship wake up long after the sun rises to make a startling discovery; Spike had inexplicably transformed into an Alicorn! Even stranger, nopony seems to remember anything about the previous day at all, to understand what had caused such a thing to occur.
Thanks to my darling cousin Leviathan and one of my best friends, silent_user, for getting me to write pony fanfiction.

And also silent_user, for unrelentingly pestering me until I gave it cover art, because I wasn't going to.
