	Spike clutched desperatly to the rainbow blur that was Rainbow Dash, s they sped towards the Canterlot palace. Celestia's sun rose beautifully behind it. There was an unusually large amont of Royal Gaurd outside. This became evedent when Dash flew into a group of them. They clashed and landed in a pile of feathers, armor, and scales.
"Halt!" Said a white unicorn.Dash stugglesd to get out from under the heap of unconscious, gaurd ponies.when she had finally freed her torso, she looked up at the unicorn towering over her. He wore purple armor acsented with gold edging.
"Halt! What is your business here?...Wait" The unicorn removed his helmet
"Arn't you one of Twily's friends?" Shining Armor asked. Dash managed to free her hind legs from the pile, and stand.
" Ya, I was the awsome one!" She bousted, striking a pose.
"Oh Ya now I remember, you did the sonic Rainboom. So why are you here?"
"there is a problem in Ponyville, and we need to talk to the Princess."
"Wait was it a bunch of ponies with leg bands?" Shining Armor asked.
" Ya" Said Spike as he stagered out of the dog pile of ponies."They were big, and mean looking, and I think some had fangs!" Spike wiggled two fingers infront of his mouth to imitate fangs. 
" Oh come with me."  said Shining Armor before gollaping towards the gates.  Rainbow threw Spike onto her back and followed him.

The two ponies and baby dragon rushed in to the throne room. Sitting infront ofthe throne's steps a unicorn working at a small desk. Rainbow dash turned to Shining Armor and whispered "Where is the princess?"
"There's been,"He paused, looking for the right words. "Some complications as of late, so the princess has taken some time off." Dash looked back at to the unicorn who was still enamered by his paperwork. 
"Then who's this clown." Shhe whispered a tad to loudly.
"I," He replied to Rainbow dash "am Spell Nexus, headmaster of Celestia's school of gifted unicorns and Celestia's personal assistant. Now how may I help you?" Nexus asked indignantly.
"Ya, can we talk to the Princess?" Dash strutted up to the desk. Nexus turned back to paperwork.
"Like Armor said, the Princess is takeing a leave of absence, and untill she returns I am takeing her place."he said more to his papers than Dash.
"Fine princess Nexus," Rainbow gave a cocky grin and Spike tried to stiffle a giggle."I'd like to report an attack on Ponyville."
"So I've been informed, I have allready sent reinforcements. Now if that is all then good day."
"Hmf!"Dash grunted andstoped her hoof before leaving. Shining Armor was about to do the same, but Nexus stoped him.
"Mr. Armor please don't let this happen again. Let anypony who asks knowof the current sittuation, thank you." Shining Armor only nodded and left.

Many stories above the throne room in the tallist tower of the palace, Celestia laid in her bed. Tear stains ran down her face, and she craddled a blue, plush pony close to her chest. She whispered softly to the doll "Oh Luna, I can't believe I lost you again, only this time I'm the nightmare." She shuddered as another wave of sarrow washed over her.
"I'm so sorry lu, I wish I could take it all back, I really do." new tears formed in her eyes, She hadn't cried like this sence she had to banish Luna to the moon. Celestia held up the small efigy of her sister, and looked into it's large button eyes
"I'm so sorry Luna."
