As they flew closer to Equestria, the trio noticed it was a little dark.And also, the moon looked a little different.
Frisk glanced at the moon. 'The moon is beautiful...It's unusually colorful.' She said.
'Wait, what?' Twilight said, turning to the moon. 'That's not supposed to happen...'
'Hey, Twilight?Does this have anything to do with your plan when you first went to Earth?' Spike whispered to her.
'I don't know, Spike...I was worried about it, but I gradually forgot...' She replied in a soft voice.
They landed in the middle of a forest.Twilight disabled her spell and the trio started to walk around the forest, hoping to find an exit.As they were walking, Twilight heard sounds coming nearby.
'Quick, hide!' She told the other two.They hid behind a bush and saw a guard wearing navy-colored armor walking around the place.As he left and out of sight, they continued to walk around.
'Who was he?' Frisk whispered to Twilight.
'That...seems to be a member of the royal guard but...I remembered their armor color was supposed to be white, not navy...I have no idea of what's going on in here!' She whispered back.
'Something is fishy here, Twilly.' Frisk told her.
Twilight was getting nervous. 'I don't know, Frisk...Remember that story I told you before?It might have something to do with that...I may have messed up very badly on this-' She was cut off when she ran into another pony.
Frisk reached out for her sword just in case.But then she saw the pony Twilight ran into; She looked innocent, a unicorn with somewhat pink skin, with blue and purple hair.
The pony gasped. 'Twilight?' She asked.
Twilight saw her: Starlight Glimmer!
'Starlight Glimmer!It's you!' Twilight said joyfully.They hugged each other. 'Oh, how I missed you!' She said.
Starlight smiled. 'I missed you a lot when you were gone, where have you been all these years?' She turned to Spike. 'Hey, Spike! How have you been lately?'
'At least I had Twilight on my side so I didn't feel alone,' He replied.
Starlight saw Frisk and was surprised. 'Hey, I haven't seen you around here before, have I?' She asked her. 'You aren't even a pony...You don't come from here, do you?'
'Ah, where are my manners?' Twilight chuckled, turning to Starlight. 'This is my new friend, Frisk.I met her after I went to the human world Earth.' She explained.
'Hi, pleased to meet you,' Frisk said, reaching out her hand for a handshake.
Starlight felt a little awkward at first, but she used her hoof to shake her hand anyway. 'My name is Starlight Glimmer, but just call me Starlight for short.I am a good friend of Twilight's.' She said, feeling a little embarrassed.
Twilight saw the look on Frisk's face and said, 'Oh, you have to excuse her for a moment, she is getting used to being friends with others after what happened.'
'I thought we promised not to bring that up again,' Starlight whispered to her.
'I had to break that 'pinkie promise', Starlight.' Twilight replied.They burst into laughter. 'So how's everyone's life been in here since I was gone?'
'It's complicated...Let me tell you when we get back to the castle.Oh, and Frisk, you can come with us too.' Starlight told them, shivering.
As they were walking back, Frisk was asking Twilight a lot of things. 'You have a freaking castle!?' She questioned her, surprised.
'Haven't I told you already I was the princess of friendship here, but a goddess in your world because our worlds aren't technically the same?' She replied.
'You're right, but I guess I don't have to feel jealous of that because I am an empress of my own as well.' Frisk laughed.
They got back to the castle not long from where they started.The crystal castle was still in great shape, and still very beautiful.They walked through the castle hallways until they got to the throne room.
'I was just casually talking with your friends, then I wanted to take a stroll in the forest, but I never thought I will see you!' Starlight exclaimed.
'I hope they still remember me,' Twilight thought.She turned to Frisk and said, 'Oh, and Frisk, just stay aside when I go reunite with my friends.They are probably gonna have a group hug with me and they will probably be telling me a lot of stuff.'
'Normally I will feel a little left out, but since it has been like, a decade or two since you were here I guess I'm okay with it.' Frisk smiled.
So, Starlight carefully opened the door and entered.The other 5 ponies were also there: Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Rainbow Dash.They were chatting a lot with each other, at least until Starlight came in.
'Hey, everypony?You would not believe who I just ran into!' Starlight said, smiling.
'Who is it,sugarcube?' Applejack asked.
Twilight Sparkle came into the room, for the first time in literally years.
The other ponies immediately gasped and had a smile on their faces. 'Twilight!' They said happily at the same time.
Everypony went over to her for a group hug. 'Haha, I am back girls, I love you all too!' Twilight smiled.
'Oh Twilight, where have you been for so long?' Pinkie asked her.
'I have so much to talk to you guys about!But first, I made a new friend while I was gone.' Twilight told them.After she is freed from all her friends cuddling her like crazy, she introduces Frisk to everypony.
'It's great to meet the friends Twilight had,' Frisk said cheerfully.
'Well my friend, welcome to the team.' Twilight smiled at her.
After they sat down to talk more about what happened, Starlight brought up the thing Twilight asked. 'So...who's going to explain this to Twilight?' She asked nervously.
'Uhm, I'm not,' Fluttershy said.
'I'll tell you guys,' Rainbow cut her off. 'I have no idea why, but now Nightmare Moon has apparently taken over Equestria.'
'What!?What happened?' Twilight said, shocked.
'It's still a mystery, darling.The most recent news we found was that we couldn't find the elements of harmony.Neither on the harmony tree nor in the castle of the two sisters.' Rarity explained.
'Who could've done such a thing?' Spike asked.Twilight was getting real nervous now.
Frisk stepped up. 'We need to get to the bottom of this case, and I heard all about Equestria from Twilight, it shouldn't be like this.We got to stop this 'Nightmare Moon' pony.' She said.
'I don't know whether it's day or night, but...' Starlight yawned. 'I think we are all getting a little tired.Can we talk about this tomorrow?' She asked.
Applejack yawned too. 'We are kinda tired now, let's talk more about it the next day.'
Twilight went to her room, with Frisk following her. 'I don't know if you mind, but I don't mind we sleep together.' She said.
Frisk laughed. 'You are just a little random sometimes.' Twilight laughed as well, as they got into bed.
'Thanks for the clothing spell by the way,' She said.
'Oh, it's nothing.Let's get some rest, and talk about our plan the next morning, I need a rest.' Twilight yawned.
'Well, good night then Twilly.' Frisk said as she fell asleep.
Twilight giggled a bit. 'Good night.' She replied as she blew out the safely protected candles in her room, and went to sleep.
