A failed drabble about alicorns and omnipotence. Written because alicorns and immortality is so last season's fashion choice.

At her coronation after-party, Twilight gets a little freaked out at the prospect of growing into her new life, especially one specific aspect of it. She knows better than anyone that talking her problems over with a friend can help tremendously, but she doesn't have many friends with whom she'd be comfortable talking about this particular problem, let alone ones who would really understand what she's going through.

...unless she broadens her definition of "friend."

Twilight is an astonishing child, with both talent and genius. However, she has her own special problems. Problems involving memory and ponies. This makes her quite a handful for foalsitters.

Enter Princess Foalsitting services! Guaranteed skill and quality, for those little problem children! But is Twilight too much for a genuine princess to handle?

Twilight Sparkle walks home with a spring in her step. The calm blue sky shines above and the birds chirp away from their roosts in the lush trees. A cool breeze prickles Twilight's ears as she nears the library she calls home. Twilight has the perfect dinner date planned for her and Rainbow Dash. Nothing can go wrong, can it?

Twilight Sparkle comes across a small, battered diary detailing a new form of transportation. While the research is sloppy and the notes incomplete, Twilight takes it upon herself to see that the ancient project is completed.

Of course, nopony said it would be easy.

Memories are tied to things and once those mementos are destroyed, the memories begin to fade.
Twilight knows that and so she is devastated and hopeless after the destruction of her library and home.
Returning to the ruins of the library in the night after the destruction happened, she tries to salvage what she can from the ashes.
But will she have success? Will she find something that survived the gigantic explosion and the fire that came after it?
Twilight didn't know the answer on these questions, but she knew she had to find something. She just had to.

I read a lot of "Memories are forever" fanfictions that were written for Twilight's library after she got destroyed so I wanted to make a more realistic approach to the tragedy behind the destruction.

Apple Bloom and Scootaloo discover an old Friendship Training Simulator in Twilight's basement. But why does it appear to be out to get them?

Those of who you came here only to insta-dislike and move on, I ask only that you give this story a shot. My attempt at putting a unique twist on an oversaturated fad instead of the same old thing everyone else is doing. Hope you like it!
