Ponyville - Twilight's House
It was just after midnight, and for once, Twilight was asleep, not worrying about her schedules or reading a certain book. In the basket, Spike snored as he dreamt about finding a pile of gems. It had to be as high as a mountain, and they were all his. As he was about to jump into it eating his heart away, he felt a rumble in his stomach.
Waking up, he belched out a scroll. Sighing, he fell back down on his bed, wanting nothing more than to return to the dream, but he knew the scroll came from only one person, and if Celestia wanted Twilight at this time, something was going on. Jumping on the bed, Spike shook Twilight, waking her up.
"Twilight, you better read this. It's a note from the Princess."
Alert at the very second he had said that, she bolted up, grabbing the scroll. As Spike fell back onto his bed, he let out a grumble.
"Sure, don't say, "Thanks Spike for giving my the scroll!" I just was waken up from a great dream."
Throwing the covers over his head, Twilight moved to her desk, reading the note from candlelight. As Celestia's words poured out to her, she was perplexed. Apparently, Princess Luna had seen... something try to enter Equestria by dreams. She wasn't sure why, but Princess Celestia wanted her and her friends to be on guard for anything to happen.
She wasn't sure what this meant. She had never heard of dream magic that could allow someone to come into Equestria. Princess Luna had the ability to watch over dreams. Did that mean whoever had entered the dreamworld was just as powerful?
Grabbing Spike by the tail, she headed downstairs, throwing him onto her back. Spike was frazzled with what was happening, looking back at his bed.
"Where are we going? It's midnight, Twi."
"Something's happening, Spike. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have said that something tried to come into Equestria through the dreams of ponies. They're not sure who or what it was, but they want us to be ready. That means I've got to get the girls ready. If we need to use the elements of harmony, they'll need to know what they're facing."
Spike sat up, rubbing his chin. "I never heard of dream magic before..."
"Neither have I, which means that this may be a powerful enemy. We can't afford to take any chances."
As she ran out of the house, she looked up into the sky to see a star-filled expanse. She needed to get to everyone, but she also didn't want to wake up the whole town and get them worried.
"Fluttershy should be the first. Come on, Spike, let's go!"
As she galloped off to her friend's house, she noticed something in the sky for a second, but when she tried to look more carefully, it was gone. Though, she could've sworn it looked like a large balloon, like hers...
