Griffon of Canterlot

Chapter 64.75 – Beyond the Twilight Hour

Into the night Ponyville was peaceful and silent with the only sound a gentle wind blowing through with ruffling of flags, the night clear with the moon shining down over the magical powered street lamps, over at Golden Oak Library Twilight and Spike were peacefully asleep like all those in Ponyville.

A knock on wood a few times echo through the interior into the bed room causing them to stern in their sleep, Spike turning over in his basket and after a moment past another set of knocks came. “Twilight... Stop kicking your bed, I am trying to sleep!” Spike complains.

Twilight groans raising her head. “Sorry Spike I-” Another set of knocks came. “That sound like the front door...” She yawned. “Who in Celestia's name is knocking at the door at this hour?” She look to the clock on the wall. “Just a little past ten...”

Spike yawns. “Can we just ignore it and hope they go away?”

“Alright le-” Another knock louder this time. “From the sound of that knocking I doubt they-”

A voice came from outside. “Hey Twilight! It be Rainbow wake up already!”

Twilight flop back on her bed. “Come back in the morning!” Twilight yelled back. “It late and we trying to sleep!”

“It can't wait! I only got till midnight to show ya something awesome!” Rainbow Dash shouted back.

Twilight got out of bed using her magic to open the window peering out of it looking down at the door. “Seriously Rainbow Dash it can wait! I-” She saw no one at the door. “Rainbow?” Twilight looked around seeing no sign of the speedter. “Urg... Seriously? A prank at this time of night!?” She move away from the window closing it.

Spike sitting up rubbing his eyes. “No one at the door?”

“Yeah...”

Another knock. “Twilight can I come in?”

Twilight walk over to the balcony doors opening both of them up. “Rainbow Dash! I am not in the mood for some stupid prank! Show yourself or get lost!”

“Alright, step back and get ready to see something totally awesome!”

“Just tell me already!”

“Nope, step back so I can make a awesome entrance!”

Twilight getting anger by the minute gives in. “Fine! Just get this over with so I can get back to sleep!” Twilight step back from the balcony window.

Spike watching Twilight stepping back. “Why can't it wait till morning?”

“No clue... It better be a g-”

Rainbow Dash flew in and come to a sliding landing on the paws doing a twist flaring her wings out with talons out. “Tadaa! One awesome landing for a awesome pony turn griffon!”

Twilight eyes locked on Rainbow Dash with her mouth quivering and right eye twitching slightly. “Whoa Rainbow Dash you look awesome! How are you a griffon!?”

“G made a birthday wish not only teleporting me from Ponyville to Canterlot but transforming me into a griffon till midnight tonight.” Rainbow Dash boosted. “Pretty sweet right?”

Spike got up quickly walking around her to get a good look. “Wow you do look awesome Rainbow! I never knew birthday wishes can come true!”

“I didn't either till I learned it a really rare magical chance that it could come true! I totally now jeaous of those claws of your Spike, this things are useful as heck! The telekinetic magic in our hooves wasn't there, we be all thumbs!” Rainbow bending the thumbs at Spike getting him to laugh and she joining him.

Twilight finally snaps out of it. “I read up about birthday magical wishes! I always wanted to study it and see what I can find out about it!” Twilight eyes lit up. “Before you turn back I got to do tests on this right away! Come with me to the lab!”

Rainbow Dash smirked. “They said you act like this.” She step up to the balcony getting ready to leave.

“Who?” Twilight asked.

“Your brother and Princess Cadance, they told me to show ya before changing back and the look you have, Gilda was right too!” Rainbow chuckled. “It totally awesome and got to jet!”

Twilight's eye twitching. “This is the prank!?”

“Yep! See ya Twi!” Rainbow about to leave but Twilight caught her by the tail with the magic pulling her back in and closing the balcony window. “Twilight let go!”

“Not a chance! I am going to be the first to figure out how birthday wish magic works!”

Spike spoke up. “Twilight why haven't anypony studied it before?”

Twilight shrugs. “Because no one had the chance!” She grins. “Now your coming with me Rainbow Dash, your not going to tease me like this and now I am wide awake I won't be sleeping till I figure this out!”

Spike got a strange worrying feeling quickly rushing out the room to the library. “Hey don't leave me alone here Spike! Help!” Rainbow yelled out.

“Now I'm going to teleport us to the lab, no struggling.” Rainbow Dash refuses and struggles to break free from Twilight's magical grasp.

Spike quickly looking through the books till he found the one about unexplainable magic, he flip through to he found the one he was looking for. “Birthday candle wish magic... Not much known about this magic part from it being very powerful... Blah blah blah...” He skims through to the warning. “Warning... Do not attempt to study it, unexpecting effects can happen resulting in magical... Backlash...” Spike gulped dropping the book running up the stairs.

“Not a chance! I am not staying still! Let go of my tail Twilight! I am not some guinea pig!” Rainbow Dash fighting to break free from Twilight's magic.

Twilight gives a pleading look. “Please! You pranked me and woke me over this! Your my friend and this isn't nice of a friend to do!”

“How about you just take a feather instead!” Rainbow open a wing up hoping that be enough for Twilight.

Twilight eyes lit up on that idea. “Oooo that I can do!”

Rainbow point to one. “Take this, it won't effect my flying.” Twilight recast her magic on the feather.

Spike burst in as Twilight pulls on the feather. “Twilight don't do it!”

Twilight turn as she pull the feather out. “What the matter Spike? I am just taking a feather to study.”

Rainbow Dash close the wing up. “Yeah what the big deal?”

“The book I remembered you read a few weeks back had a warning in it! Those that tried to study it never got a chance cause the birthday wish magic has unexpecting effects when they tried!” Spike explained with panic seeing the feather starting to vibrate in Twilight's magic.

Twilight feels it and let go of it. “Oh no...” Rainbow Dash reacts without thinking about it by grabbing the feather with her talon, she opens the balcony window and flying up high with it, they run onto the balcony watching her fly high and pull the foreleg back.

Rainbow Dash with all her might toss the feather high into the air, it suddenly engulfed in a massive glowing burst of magical energy and explodes, she use her wings and talons to shield herself as it engulfing her.

“Rainbow Dash!” Twilight screamed out in horror, she watched the blue and white griffon come out of the explosion cloud falling down unconscious right towards the library, Twilight stand on her hind legs with forelegs out to catch her, Spike bracing against Twilight for extra support.

With a thud Rainbow Dash collides with Twilight and Spike, they roll around to come with a heavy thud knocking out them as well, they all lying in a heap by the bed side all unconscious.

The citizens of Ponyville woke to the explosion but unaware of where it came from before they all went back to sleep soon after...


A minute after midnight Rainbow Dash awoke...
