Best if listened to while reading, if needbe, use listenonrepeat.com I thought it fit well, due to Vinyl Belle/Scratch being a DJ, as well as Avicii is a DJ. It all seemed to get stuck in my head. Enjoy! Twilight awoke, to a slight knocking on her bedroom door. She looked around, it was still early, so she wondered who it could be. Using her magic to open the door, she looked at the pony in the Doorway. It was none other than Celestia. Twilight looked at her, she looked like a wreck. In only a couple hours, she went from the proud, once regal ruler of the land, to a pint sized filly, barely capable of the most simple magic. Just as Celestia was rethinking coming to Twilight, just before she ran off into the darkness of the castle, Twilight nodded her over to her. "Twilight, I dont know why.... but...." Was all Celestia could mutter before quietly crying to herself again. "Thats fine Princess, it will all be okay, come here." Twilight said, motioning for her to lay next to her. Celestia slowly walked over to Twilight, and got herself comfy in the warmth of Twilight's body heat. "Twilight?" Celestia asked. "Yeah Princess?" She replied back. "I'm glad I chose you as my student." Celestia said. "I'm glad you did too." She muttered. Her only replies were soft snores of a sleeping Alicorn, snuggled up next to her. "Goodnight my little Tia." Twilight cooed, finally laying her head down to fall asleep, her eyes, fading into the darkness of dreamland. She looked around, it looked like her current room, except, everything was bigger. She looked into a mirror in the corner of the room. There was the single most beautiful mare Twilight had ever laid her eyes on. She had a gleaming white body, with a cutie mark of a Supernova Sun. Her mane was a mix of golden sun, and pitch black, blending perfectly, as was her tail. Her wings gleamed and shimmered in the sunlight. Twilight only had one explanation. This was Solaria. Her vision faded, until everything put itself back together. Now she was looking at both Celestia and Luna. "Solaria, please.... come to your senses, I know you're in there somewhere!" Celestia tried reasoning. "Stupid mother, you are nothing. I am more powerful than both you and Aunt Luna, and you both know that. Thats why you didn't want me to know about my father, that's why you hid who I really was all those years!" She had screamed. It felt just like she had said it, but she didn't even move her mouth, it was like she was on autopilot. "I'm sorry Solaria, I thought i could help, but I guess Luna was right. Now that it's embedded in you, there is no way to save you." Celestia said, charging her horn. Luna did as well, and they connected their horns. Solaria screamed as thier combined magic hit her, turning her into, well ashes. Celestia grabbed the nearest container she could find, one of Solaria's favorite vases, one that her coltfriend had designed for her. He had a very good talent at it. She scooped up every last bit, and put it in the vase, sealing it, so nothing could escape its walls. Then, the dream faded away in a flash of light. Twilight awoke, sunlight in her eyes. She looked at Celestia, sleeping so peacefully, such a small, and fragile little creature. She looked around, it seemed to be about just before midday. She sighed. She had enjoyed some personal time with her teacher and mentor, bur she had a find a way to fix it, before all of Equestria started asking questions. She used her magic to grab a couple books, and flipped through them. After about an hour of going through books, and finding nothing on Nightmare Force, she noticed Celestia starting to move. "Morning sleepyhorn." Twilight said. Celestia just yawned, and looked at Twilight. Her brain started to freak out when Twilight was bigger than her. The events of the previous night started to flash before her eyes, and she started to calm down. She noticed piles and piles of books lying around Twilight. She must have been studying to find a way to cure her. "Any Luck Twilight?" Celestia asked. Twilight shook her head. Just then, the door decided to open, and Luna entered, followed by the rest of the Mane 6. "I have found nothing either, dear sister. I'm afraid there may be no cure." Luna stated, obviously tired from raising and lowering the sun and moon respectively. "Then what am I going to do? The Citizens of Equestria cannot see me like this. It will cause a panic, and they could possibly blame you." Celestia stated. "Then the only possible temporary solution. We must get you to a safe place outside Canterlot." Luna replied. "But where?" Celestia asked. "I have a bit of room at the Library back in ponyville, seeing as Spike is at that Dragoncon for the week. It should be pretty quiet there?" Twilight offered. Luna looked at Twilight, then at Celestia. "Well that is in fact far from Canterlot." Luna said. "But what if someone in Ponyville recognizes me?" Celestia worried. "You could always say you are Celestia's cousin, Darling. It has worked before." Rarity stated. Vinyl was completely out of her DJ P0N-3 apparel, she disguised herself as Rarity for Celestia's comfort, you couldn't tell the difference if you tried. She even had the accent down perfectly. "I guess that will work." Celestia hesitated. "Go sister, take a break from work, I can hold the fort here for a week while looking for a solution, and Twilight can look while in Ponyville. If i find anything, ill tell you in a dream. How does that sound?" Luna asked. "I guess so... then what are we waiting for?" Celestia exclaimed, which was more of a squeak due to being a filly. In a matter of hours, they were packed, Vinyl had to become herself again (due to Rarity living in Ponyville, there couldn't be two Rarities.... that would confuse everyone.) So Vinyl packed her Wubs, and all of her stuff, into her Bag, which magically folded into a lighter than light briefcase. "Gotta love those Techies!" Vinyl said, enthusiastically. Everyone got a ticket for the train back to ponyville, all except Celestia, fillies, especially fillies related to royalty, rode free on the Friendship Express 2.0. As they all boarded, they all took a cabin, except Vinyl, Twilight, and Celestia, who took another cabin. Vinyl set down her stuff, and removed her glasses. Twilight looked into her eyes. Even with her contacts, her eyes sparkled like jewels. They were magnificent, which made sense, seeing as she is just as talented with gems and embroidery as her sister. Vinyl took a seat on the pad, kicked her hooves up, and chilled, while Celestia never left Twilight's side. Twilight noticed a bit of a detachment disorder with Celestia as a filly. She was too scared to do anything without Twilight around. It was like she trusted Twilight more than anyone in Equestria, even more than her own sister. Twilight shook her head, and looked at Celestia. Her head was on her hooves, and she wa lightly sleeping. Twilight smiled at how cute her teacher and mentor was right now, so innocent, yet so full of life. It made Twilight want to eat a pancake.... no idea why. She shook her head of that thought. She loved Celestia, but she had to find a way to turn her back right? Celestia wouldnt want to stay like this forever. Twilight was so worked up, even she fell asleep next to little 'Tia. They both faded back into the darkness of dreamland.
