Chapter 1 “Twilight...  Wake up Twilight.”  A voice speaks, seemingly from everywhere as Twilight Sparkle starts to wake up.  She feels two little scaly claws on her hair as she gets rocked side to side, causing her to jolt awake. “Huh?  Oh, good morning Spike.”  Responds Twilight, as she clumsily gets out of bed and fumbles her way over to her wardrobe to get her hairbrush as she looks at her calendar, seeing that Applebloom’s birthday is today. She puts the hairbrush down and turns to Spike.  “What’s for breakfast?” “I got you a muffin from Sugarcube Corner, with some daisies sprinkled on top.  As I am your number one assistant, I knew it was your favorite.”  Spike answers.  “Also, there is a letter from Celestia on the table for you.  It came in right before I woke you up.” Yawning, Twilight walks over to the table.  “Thanks.  What would I do without you?”  She sits down on her rump and starts to eating her muffin. Upon finishing Twilight opens the letter.  “To my most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle, I regret to inform you that, once again, I need your help.  There has been a trend of anomalies, magical in nature, appearing all over Equestria and in some of the other bordering nations.  I am too busy dealing with some political issues with our bordering state of Gildegale, they seem to blame the unicorns of Equestria for the anomalies and I need make sure this fiasco doesn't result in conflict, and so I cannot attend to the problem myself.  Please meet me in Canterlot at your soonest convenience.  Sincerely, Princess Celestia.”  Twilight puts down the letter “Magical Anomalies?  What does she mean by that Twilight?”  Spike asks. “I don’t know, but it can’t be good.  Spike, can you please tell Pinkie Pie that I will not be able to attend her birthday party for Applebloom today, as I have to meet with the Princess?” “Of course Twilight, but are you sure you don’t want me to come along?” “It’ll be fine Spike, I have been looking for an excuse to try out a very powerful teleportation spell I have been working on. It is used for extremely long distances, which I have never doe before.  I think I am ready to teleport to Canterlot now.” Spike starts walking towards the door of the Library.  “Alright.  I’ll go see Pinkie Pie now.  Bye Twilight.” As Spike closes the door, Twilight closes her eyes. “Okay...  Let’s see if I can do this.  Focus on Canterlot Castle.  I need to see myself inside the throne room of Canterlot Castle...  I am there, I am there.”  Twilight mutters, preparing to teleport herself.  She pictures the grand visage of the ivory tower that she once stayed in, she hears the fizzling noise, not unlike that of a bottle of soda-pop opening, that goes along with teleportation.  She can smell the scents of the castle, the flowers, and the fresh air.  Her horn starts to glow extremely bright. A large magenta flash, accompanied by a loud bang marks the teleportation going off.  Twilight collapses to the ground, unable to focus on anything as she struggles not to faint, but to no avail. Just before blacking out, Twilight hears a familiar voice.  “Oh... well this isn’t good.” ------------------- Whilst whistling Love is in Bloom Spike arrives at Sugarcube Corner.  Just before he knocks on the door he hears a loud crash and an almost ear piercing shout from within.  “Aaaaaaahhh!  Get it off!  Get it off!  It’s horrible!” “Huh?  That sounded like...  Rarity!”  Spike gasps, as he barges through the door.  He looks around frantically, and sees a few shadows in the kitchen.  While rushing to the kitchen he hears Pinkie Pie laughing hysterically.  The scene he sees upon entering the kitchen almost makes him burst out laughing too.  Rarity, Sweetie Bell, and Pinkie Pie are standing, well Rarity and Sweetie Bell are, Pinkie Pie is rolling on the floor laughing, in the kitchen.  The kitchen is in a sorry state of affair, food supplies are scattered all over the place, the oven is open, radiating heat even though the it’s off.  The black lumps on the table resemble cupcakes, but Spike isn’t sure. “Ha!  Ha ha he he!  It-Sweetie Bell!  That...  Was..... HILARIOUS!!!  Ha ha ha ha!”  Pinkie pie manages to get out, in between fits of laughter.  The cause for Pinkies laughter becomes evident upon looking at Rarity.  There is a large cooking bowl on top of her head, the cupcake dough, having fallen out of the bowl, is all over Rarity, coating her face and mane, along with splotches here and there all over her body. “My Mane!  Sweetie Bell, you ruined my mane!!!  It’s completely ruined, its terrible, awful, disgusting!”  Rarity shouts, before running out of the kitchen, sobbing. Sweetie Bell, looking at her flank, shows a sign of sadness at not seeing a cutie mark.  “Aaawww, I guess baking isn’t my special talent either...  Oh hi Spike!” Pinkie Pie perks up at his name.  “Spike?  Oh hi!  What are you doing here?” “Oh...  Uhm, hello.  Twilight told me to come over.  She wanted to let you know that she won’t be able to make it to the party tonight.” Pinkie Pie sits down on her rump. “Aaaaaaawwwww, why not?!” “She got an urgent letter from Princess Celestia and she had to head to Canterlot as soon as she could.” “Oh...  Alright, I understand.  Whatever the princess wants must be important.  Oh!  I know!  Maybe Celestia can come to the party too if theirs time!  I can give her some of my cupcakes!” “I...  I don’t think that’s necessary Pinkie Pie.”  Spike responds, gazing over at the burnt lumps on the table.  “But I can still come.” “Fiiiiiiiiine!  Well, at least you can come.  It’s not a party without you!  Well, it IS still a party, a parties a party is a party, even if it’s just one pony, but the more ponies, or dragons, their are the partier the party is!” Not sure how to respond, once again, to Pinkie Pie, Spike merely nods, says thanks, and leaves Sugarcube Corner in a rush, turning down the way to Rarity's boutique.
