Twilight has been living in a fantasy world; one with Discord in stone, one where everything appears to be peaceful. But fantasies can't last forever, and Twilight has to get accustomed to the new, twisted reality—even if it doesn't seem so real.

But there's no time to adapt when the clock is ticking. And when time runs out, everything that was real will never come back.

<DISCLAIMER> The following is a rough outline of where the story was headed originally. I keep making small changes here and things get more and more odd. I will change this once the story is complete and I know for sure what is going on.

Six friends want to find their special someponies, so six of them cast a spell. When a seventh pony accidentally adds herself to the mix, hilarity is sure to ensue. But when Discord breaks loose and threatens to destroy the friendship forever will the ponies able to band together and defeat him, when jealousy runs rampant?

An adventure featuring the mane 6, as well as Spike and Derpy.

This is a very long story, so there is going to be quite some time between updates. ***I have decided that I need to get updates out a little faster, so what was going to be seven chapters is going to be more, as I will be submitting them as half chapters now. I should have a chapter up every two weeks or so. This story keeps getting longer and longer as I work things out with my collaborators, so I have no idea how many chapters there are going to be. They are going to be grouped by part, starting with chapter 2, so we will see how long this takes....

The entire story was inspired by a picture on my little Brony, and some idle discussion between two bronies. The cover art is the image that inspired chapter 4 ***(Bwhahahaha That was chapter four on the old plan. Part 3 under the new one...). The credit for the image goes to C puff on deviant art! thank you!!!!!

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.
