//------------------------------// // Twilight's Spell // Story: True Harmony // by ddstory25 //------------------------------// They worked on it for about four hours but they finally finished it all; Twilight put it all in a large stack. Twilight looked over the stack and made sure it was in perfect order, and that nothing was missing. Rainbow Dash looked it over, her eyes constantly scanning it while she spoke. “Thanks Twilight. No pony has ever really helped with the paperwork before, or really ever wanted to even ask if I needed help.” Twilight closed her eyes, and smiled. “Well Rainbow if you remember, I’ll help my friends when I can. Plus, everypony knows you’re not very good at paperwork.” They giggled together at the comment, and walked out of the office, finding the factory clean and polished. The other four were waiting outside the doors to greet them but before they could say anything, the alarm went off. Rainbow looked at the alarm, stomped a hoof, and yelled; “Whats going on now!?” A pink pegasus in the work uniform yelled up to her “BOSS, A HUGE MAIN BREAK JUST HAPPENED IN THE RAIN PART OF THE FACTORY! ALSO SOME OF THE MACHINES JUST CAME TO LIFE AND STARTED SINGING AND DANCING!” Rainbow looked stunned to hear this, she looked at the pony with her jaw on the floor, Twilight was enraged when she heard this.Her face, painted red with rage, used a voice enhancing spell and yelled “ATTENTION ALL WORKERS THIS IS TWILIGHT SPARKLE, PRINCESS OF FRIENDSHIP! NOW I NEED YOUR BOSS RAINBOW DASH TO COME WITH ME! I WILL USE A VERY POWERFUL SPELL TO STOP EVERYTHING, AND RETURN THE FACTORY TO HOW IT SHOULD BE. PLEASE COULD EVERYPONY EXIT OUT OF THE FACTORY! NOW!” All of the ponies looked at her as she finished her speech, then they looked at each other, and then they ran out of the factory. Twilight looked at her friends and said “You guys leave too. I don’t want to accidentally hurt any of you.” But Rainbow interjected, “I’m not leaving you. Plus I kinda run this factory, so I can’t just leave.” Applejack jumped in; “Twilight I wouldn’t leave you either. Besides, I feel that you need me here.” Pinkamena nodded in agreement and Fluttershy chimed in too. “She’s right. You also said that we were the living embodiment of the elements of harmony. So if you ask me, you need as much harmony as you can get, meaning you need your friends here, with you.” Twilight teared up a bit and smiled at them. “Oh girls.” She walked between them, and they all shared a group hug, each mare latching onto Twilight, and she started to glow. They let her go and backed up a little as Twilight then address all of them; “Ok, here goes the spell.” Twilight’s horn lit up with her magic firing little sparks from the tip of her horn, as she concentrated and the magic around her grew ever stronger. Her friends looked up in wonderment as Twilight lifted off of the ground glowing even brighter. All the insanity going on in the factory suddenly stopped dead in it’s tracks, as the whole factory was engulfed in fuchsia magic. Then Twilight opened her eyes and released her spell, the whole factory glowed, and all of the workers gathered outside the factory and looked on in amazement. The magic light that engulfed the factory soon died out and Twilight was back on the ground, where she quickly passed out and collapsed. The four friends that stayed with her yelled in unison “TWILIGHT!” They picked her up and put her on Applejack’s back, while Fluttershy looked her over. “She must be exhausted, that spell looked very powerful.” Then Rainbow hoof bumped the air, spinning around mid flight. “Yeah…, but it worked. And it looked like it came with a protective bubble too.” Then Pinkamena looked around herself, staring out of the windows. “Yeah she's right, look, there's a big pink bubble around the factory.” They looked outside to see the bubble, obvious to the fact it was what was keeping the chaos out of the factory, the spell having cleaned everything up again. All of the worker ponies came back into the factory and looked around in astonishment, many breaking out into cheers. The pink pegasus from early approached her boss. “So Miss Dash, can we all go home now?” Rainbow looked at her and smiled. “All of you can go home, the factory can’t run right now with everything going on outside this bubble. An thank the princess when you leave.” Every pony left and thanked the sleeping princess that was still prone over Applejack’s back; when everypony had left, only the five remained. Rainbow floated down to talk with the rest of them. “Well Twilight fixed everything, so guess I have to keep my promise and go with you guys.” Pinkamena smiled. “Yay! One more pony to go and we can stop everything forever.” Rainbow looked over at Applejack. “So...where are we going next?” Applejack was going to answer but stopped and put her hoof to her muzzle. She looked down puzzled. She didn’t know where they were going next because Twilight was the only pony that knew. Fluttershy turned an clicked her tongue. “Well, we have to find Rarity next, and Twilight said she was in Canterlot. If I remember correctly, that is.” Rainbow looked at Fluttershy and then out one of the factory windows. She looked through it down to the dystopia that was currently Canterlot. The roads where half soap and half blue dotted carpet, the building looked to be made of cards and pies. Rainbow turned away grimacing. “You sure, cause Canterlot doesn’t look to good, it’s in pure chaos.” Pinkamena nodded and shouted enthusiastically. “Yup! We're going to Canterlot next we need Rarity. Besides it’ll be fu-” Pinkamena stopped talking dead in her tracks as she started to fall through the floor of the factory, the same thing was happening to Applejack too. Applejack screamed in alarm. “WHATS HAPPENING? WHY ARE WE FALLING THROUGH THE FLOOR?” Fluttershy and Rainbow quickly flew over to grab them before they could fall any further through the floor, Fluttershy had Pinkamena while Rainbow had Applejack and Twilight. “It must be Twilight’s spell she cast on you two,” Fluttershy said, “it's probably wearing off. We have to get you three to the hot-air balloon so you don’t fall.” Before they could even leave the factory Applejack changed the plans. “Somepony grab Twilight off my back and give her to me. I’ll carry her in my hoofs and you two just fly us down to Canterlot.” Fluttershy quickly grabbed Twilight off AJ’s back before she fully slid off, and Applejack grabbed her up in her hoofs. The gang were soon out of the factory and on their way to Canterlot.
