After a party to welcome the season of Nightmare Night, the library becomes the target of strange activity. Minor annoyances prelude greater events, and soon Twilight and Spike each take action to handle the situation in their own way. All the while, questions hang in the air. What lingers amongst the shelves? What watches from the corners? What stands just behind you only to disappear when you turn to look?

What is in the library, and what does it want?

A terrible new day rises when a tragedy, foreseen only by Celestia but preventable by none, occurs right in the middle of Canterlot, turning Twilight Sparkle's world upside-down. Now, all of Equestria is looking to her to hold the broken nation together, all while she tries to pick up the pieces of her shattered life.

A/N: Yes, the title was based of the Dragonforce song of the same name, you may stop postulating about it now.

Twilight and the rest of the mane 6 are getting together for a night of fun and drinking. What starts as a night in with the girls turns into so much more, leading our adventurous young mares to discover a whole new side to their friendship.

Just something fun that came to mind while waking up from a heat-exhaustion induced nap, hope y'all have as much fun reading it as I did writing it! Depending on what kind of response it gets I may consider doing a follow up for the day after the festivities, so please let me know what you think!
