Spike woke up, and took nice long yawn. That was the quietest, most complete sleep he has ever had. Ever since Twilight left, Spike has been keeping the library tidy. Sweep the wood floor. Be a librarian when ever somepony wants a book. Organize the books. Dust the shelves, and even prune the tree. He got up from his bed to start his chores. He went to the kitchen to grab some breakfast. He grabbed some pony-O's and some milk, he put a bowl and a spoon on the table, poured the oat-based cereal into the bowl. He munched on the sugary sweet cereal until he was done. He did the chores, than went out to do some errands. First he went to the market to get what was on his shopping list.
Spike went to Applejack's apple stand, which was being managed by Granny Smith due to Applejack's absence. “Don't touch those apples again ya'hear!” yelled Granny Smith as a pony with shocked eyes slowly walked away. Spike came up to the apple stand and asked Granny Smith for some apples, “Um, Granny Smith, can I have 5 apples?” Granny Smith looked down at the dragon. “Flies? Where?” Granny Smith asked as she started grabbing as many apples as possible, keeping them safe from the non-exsistant flies. “No, 5 app-les please,” Spike pronouncing each syllable. “Well why didn't you say so?” asked the light green grandpony. She then gave Spike the 5 apples and waved goodbye. Spike returned the favour and set of on his journey. “Next, 10 cherries.,” thought Spike. He walked up to the cherry stand. The gruff looking sales-pony looked down on the little purple dragon and asked in a low voice, “What?!” Spike took a deep breath. “H-Hello sir, um, can I have 10 cherries?” The sales-pony looked him in the eye and said, “2 bits per cherry.” The cherry pony then smirked. “I'll offer you 5 bits for all 10,” said Spike, looking the pony in the eye. The cherry pony then glared in Spike's eyes, the look colder than ice. “6,” growled the sales-pony. Spike then jumped on the ground from the counter he perched on and gave a big smile. “Okie dokie loki,” as Pinkie would say. The dragon placed the coins on the counter, grabbed the little basket of cherries and headed get the rest of the groceries.
“What have you done Galaxis?”
“Oh , and who are you?”
“I am your sister, Celestia, now let go of Twilight.”
“Oh, I never knew I had a sister. Mother and Father must have hated me. Besides, why would I let go of lil' miss Twilight here? She is just so adorable.”
“She will defeat you before you defeat us and rule Equestria.”
“Well, I guess you would mind if I do this!”
CRACK!
“NO! Twilight!”
“TWILIGHT!!!!!!”
Princess Celestia woke up almost jumping out of her bed. Her mane had lost its windiness and shine. It looked like a nest that was trampled by a rambunctious puppy. Her cheeks were burning due to the tears streaming down her cheeks. The princess remembered clearly the crack as her brother snapped Twilight's neck and the limp lifeless body of her student falling to the ground with a thump. Her eyes started leaking more tears of the thought. She looked at her clock, it read: 5:00. “Time to raise the sun,” she said sniffling every 2 words. She walked onto the main castle balcony, looking over most of Equestria. She then lit her horn and started flying up. She clamped hold of the gaseous ball and yanked it upwards. The world began to lighten up, the sky turned from very dark blue to orange, yellow, and red. Right when she was almost done she saw the image of Twilight's limp body falling from her brother's hooves. She then realized she fell and the sun stopped where it was, not moving an inch. “Sister, what might be the matter?” Princess Celestia was curled up sobbing. The white sun goddess looked up at her sister, tears still streaming down her eyes. “I-I-it s, a dream I had. Twilight she, she-” the princess then started wailing. “Shhhhh, its okay sister. Go have some more rest. I will raise the sun,” said Luna putting a reassuring hoof on her sisters shoulder. Celestia just nodded and slowly walked to her room without her usual authoritative position. “Get better soon dear sister,” Luna thought.
Twilight woke up in the suite given by the princess. Twilight had an amazing sleep. She didn't have many dreams last night. The lavender unicorn got out of her bed, had a shower, brushed her hair and got ready to seize the day. “First I should write to Spike, Tell him we are ok,” Twilight mumbled
Dear my number 1 assistant, Spike,
I am writing to you because Princess Celestia has stumbled upon a ancient prophecy.
Currently me and my friends are trying to uncover this prophecy. If you would like to Spike, we could use you to help us find this prophecy.
This is all I can write right now.
Sincerely Twilight Sparkle.
She folded the letter, put it in an envelope. Twilight sealed it, and put a stamp with the Equestrian emblem printed on it and walked outside to head to the post office. When she got out of the door, a pink blur flashed before her eyes before- OOF!. “Pinkie, whats wrong?” The unicorn asked. The pink pony had a shocked expression plastered to her face. “Alien-Pony-Attacked-Scary portal!” Pinkie pie managed before grabbing Twilight with one hoof and quite literally, flew to the scene with Twilight in tow. Pinkie stopped in the castle gardens at a mob of ponies surrounding a limp pegasus. Twilight left Pinkie and shoved through the tangled mess of the crowd before she finally got through to have her face wiped of emotion. There, in front of her was an armoured pegasus. The pegasus had a huge gash from his neck to his flank. There were cuts and bruised all over his body. There were tufts of fur missing showing a light beige skin. He had a black eye, swollen from an obvious smack in the face. He also had a mysterious weapon. It was like a spear but had sparks flying out of a box near where the hooves would be. Twilight then teleported out, getting a few stares from the crowd. The unicorn saw Applejack walking away from the alien pony's audience. Twilight galloped up to her friend. “Applejack, did you see where this pony came from?” asked Twilight. Applejack just gulp and said, “Um, ah, um? It was a huge black portal, then that alien flew out of that there portal an' attacked 4 ponies. There was so much blood when the guards arrived Twi. One guard is in a coma, and the others a paralysed from the aliens lightning stick. Now if you excuse me, I am going to throw up my breakfast.” AJ then walked away into the palace. “Speaking vomiting,” Twilight thought, she ran after AJ into the castle to vomit after seeing a rotting corpse.
2 days later
The castle was finally cleaned. The tile floor shone, the brand new gold chandeliers dangled from its gold chain. The windows were replaced and cleaned to show the beautiful morning and the ceiling repaired to it's smooth self.. Except Princess Celestia wouldn't say the same for the rest of Canterlot. Everyone wanted her home to be fixed instead of the rest of the capital. No matter how many times she said to worry about Canterlot. Instead her sister, still used to when your subjects feared you and kissed the ground you trotted on and did whatever you asked or even suggested. Those days were gone, but sadly, its hard to get used to life after being trapped as on the moon for 1000 years. The Princess then resumed her journey to have breakfast with her sister and their guests the Elements.
“Welcome everypony,” said Princess Celestia as Princess Luna and the Elements came into the dining hall. The tables were already set. The white table cloths went well with the colourful room. The windows let light shine in from the morning sun. The high ceiling made the room like an echo chamber. The chef and 9 waiters came in. The princess was so glad Twilight invited the little baby dragon Spike to help with the prophecy. It was always fun to have the sarcastic little dragon around. The waiter then placed a closed platter in front of everypony. “And what is this delectable dish you made this time Chef Pickle?” Asked Princess Luna, still tired from her midnight court. The unicorn waiter lifted up the lid to reveal the canterlot breakfast. “Zis is veggie benedict with maple crumpits and Honey Tea to quench you thirst,” said Chef Pickle before bowing and walking out with the waiters following. All the ponies then started to eat this amazing breakfast. The mouth watering Hollangraze sauce complements the hay-ham and the grade-A daisies. The maple crumpets were to die for, the maple was imported from the maple trees near Red Dear, The home of the elk and deer, north west of Equestria. Even the Honey Tea was imported from Trottingham. Afrer everypony was finished their breakfast, they started to chat about what the prophecy might have meant, and who was the mysterious alienpony. “He could have been a spy,” said Rainbow Dash. “Then why did he attack?” asked Twilight. “Maybe, he was startled,” whimpered Fluttershy. “He was a warrior from my brothers planet!” boomed Princess Celestia. Everyone stopped chattering. They all looked up to Princess Celestia. “I saw the portal through my bedroom window. My parents warned me that alicorn inter-terrestrial portals look like black holes, tearing up the sky is resides in. It is a rare form of alicorn magic. My brother must have sent his warrior to scout, he is planning an attack.” Everypony's eyes tripled in size.
