The next night, the pets decided to stay at Fluttershy's Cottage. They had a good night's rest, but not everything was peaceful...

A gray unicorn with a black mane and blue aura stood in an alley, late at night. He walked slowly, hooves clomping loudly on the stone, cold ground. He looked both ways, cautiously, before he turned to the next block. Something wasn't quite right.

The stallion turned to the next block as he bumped into a strange creature with a white beard and red skin. He looked awfully familiar.

"Do-Do I know y-you." The stallion stuttered. "Friend or foe, the pony wonders." The creature whispered loudly. "I can assure you; I am no friend." The stallion put on a worried face. "I am Lord Tirek." Lord Tirek sucked the magic out of the stallion.
"And I will get what I have should've not too long ago."

Once the magic has been drained out, Lord Tirek turned and whispered under his breath "What do you do now, Twilight Sparkle? What now?" Tirek giggled mischievously. Then, he cackled once he had gotten far away from the stallion.

*GASP*

Princess Celestia had woken from her sleep, breathing heavily and had barged in with a big SLAM.

"Sister!" Luna called. Celestia wiped her forehead. "A-Again?" Celestia asked. "B-But that's not possible." Luna gulped. "I suppose it is." Luna nodded. "That was not a dream, but a vision." Celestia leaped out of bed. "B-But, no. That's not-" Celestia stuttered. Then, she shook her head. "We haven't much time."

"I shall warn Twilight in her dreams." Luna stated. But Celestia disagreed. "No, warn the pets." Luna looked shocked. "What?" Celestia went closer to Luna. "Twilight is a princess. We can warn her in the real world. The pets, they are from a different
land. They have no protection against Tirek." Luna nodded. "Then, it is settled. I will warn the pets instead of Twilight."

Luna flew off in the distance. She still wasn't sure if her sister's decision was good or not. Luna decided to follow Celestia's plan to tell the pets.
