Twilight Sparkle woke up. She felt uneasy, as if a strong magic was about her. It was the middle of the night, and she had attended one of Pinkie Pie’s Parties the day before. Twilight decided to get up, and get some fresh air out on the balcony. She stepped out to ease the feeling. Something about the warm summer nights soothed her. They were warm; the smells of the works from Sugarcube corner still lingered in the air and the sight itself of Ponyville was wonderful. Suddenly Twilight noticed a dark, unrecognizable figure. That was odd, Twilight knew everypony in Ponyville. The figure seemed to be lost, and was wandering in circles. Twilight decided to help the figure find their way. She left the balcony and went quietly downstairs, careful not to wake Spike. She headed to the front door and felt the uneasy feeling go away. She opened the door, to find a pony about her height looking in. “Umm hello”, Twilight said. “Hello”, said the mysterious pony. “What are you doing out so late?"
"Well I don’t know."
"Where did you come from?"
"I don’t know, the last thing I remembered was seeing this really odd looking figure."
"What’s your name, and what was the name of the odd figure?"
"I don’t think I have one, and he didn't say."
"Well you better come inside”, Twilight finished. Twilight looked out at the street where she saw the dark figure and noticed they were gone. She shut the door behind her and took another look at the pony. She had a blue coat, and a reddish pinkish mane. As soon as Twilight saw her mane she noticed she had a horn. She looked down at her side and saw wings! She was an Alicorn! A mixture between a Pegasus and Unicorn!
“Oh my gosh! You’re an Alicorn!” Twilight exclaimed. “What’s that?” the mysterious pony asked.
“It’s a mixture between a Pegasus and Unicorn."
"What are those?"
"I will tell you later, right now, I have to tell somepony about your arrival.”
Twilight galloped upstairs to a sleeping Spike. “Spike, wake up!” Twilight yelled. “Hmmf waa?” Spike responded.
“I need you to send a letter to princess Celestia, right away!"
"But Twilight! It’s the middle of the night!"
"Well then Spike, we have a visitor. Come and meet her!” Spike yawned, stretched, and then got out of bed seemingly half asleep. He walked downstairs and saw the pony looking at the names of all the books in Twilights library.
“Who is she?” Spike questioned. “She, is an Alicorn!” Twilight answered.
“Uh-huh… What’s an Alicorn?"
"It’s a Pegasus, mixed with a unicorn."
"So?"
"Spike! There are only two other ponies in Equestria that are Alicorns, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna! Two very important ponies! Now will you please write a letter?”
"Ok, ok! I get it!" Spike ran to Twilights desk and pulled the required materials out for the letter.
“Twilight what should I say?"
"Umm, say: Dear Princess Celestia, I am very sorry to bother you, at this time, but it seems an Alicorn has appeared at my door. She claims to know nothing. I need you to help me figure out what is going on here. Your confused student Twilight Sparkle."
“Ok got it,” Spike ended and set the letter aflame. She turned to the curious Alicorn. “I wonder what happened to you,” asked Twilight. “I think I’m forgetting something about myself,” said the Alicorn. “You’re very mystique.”
“I agree, ha ha!”
“Well we need a name for you-“Twilight was cut off by a loud bang from the balcony. Princess Celestia flew in from upstairs and landed next to the Alicorn. "My My. I don't know what to say," spoke the Princess. "Twilight do you know what this means?" asked Celestia. "No Princess, I'm confused as to why she showed up at my doorstep!"
"It means that something in Equestria has gone wrong. The only reason an Alicorn is made, is to end something. Luna and I were made, in order to stop Discords reign of chaos, and bring peace and harmony to ponies. She must have another reason for being made. Do you think you know what it is?"
"No Princess, although I felt uneasy so I got up, and when I went to the balcony, I saw someone wandering around. That's when I went downstairs to go out and help, but instead of the figure I found her, and the figure was gone."
Spike chimed in,"why don't you try using the memory spell to help her remember something?"
"Good idea Spike", commented Twilight.
"Hold still please," Celestia asked the unknown Alicorn.
"Oh ok," Twilight lowered her horn, and surged her magic through the Alicorn.
"Can you remember anything?" asked Twilight.
"Nope," she responded.
"Well maybe you just need some time to re-cooperate," Celestia said.
"I think we should all go back to sleep," Spike whined.
"I agree, but before we do, I think our mysterious friend here deserves a name!" Celestia protested.
"How about mystique, since you're so confusing?" Spike announced.
"That sounds great Spike! Nice to meet you Mystique!"
"Likewise" she replied. Mystique spent the night in Twilight's spare bed.
