Twilight glanced around, noticing her surroundings. She was about to clean up when she heard somepony at the door. She looked directly at it, then at the clock on the shelf.
Moving downstairs, she ran a hoof through her mane, hoping it wouldbe enough to smooth it over.
Rainbow Dash's cyan face looked back at Twilight when she opened the door. "Hey Twi," she said, looking at her friend. "I was stopping by to-"
"Pick up a book for your brother," Twilight finished.
Rainbow looked at her friend in shock. "How did you know that?"
"I just had the weirdest Dream," Twilight explained. "I thought I could see if it was all coming true."
"Coming true?" Rainbow asked. "Are you telling me you dreamt about this happening?"
Twilight looked around the library nervously. "This did," she explained. "But that's just a coincedence. It's not uncommon for unicorns to have partially prophetic Dreams."
Rainbow looked at Twilight skeptically. "If you know why I'm here, then go get the book."
Magic encased Twilight's horn and she brought a book off of a shelf. "I think this was the one you were looking for."
Rainbow stared in shock at the book. "That's cool. A little creepy, but cool."
"It's just one of those Dreams," Twilight said. "They only come partially true. A good thing in this case."
"What do you mean?" Rainbow asked.
"Nothing," Twilight said, dismissing the subject. "It's already different. Only one event comes true anyways."
"Well thanks for the book, Twi," Rainbow said, beginning to leave. "See ya around."
Twilight moved upstairs to put the book away when Spike came around. "Twilight," he siad. "You're supposed to take a day off, remember?"
Twilight looked at him. "It was just one book," she said. "Besides, I have other things I can do. I was just going to put this book away and then head off for the day."
Spike looked at her strangely. "You're not even going to ask about your schedule?"
"I know you would've taken care of it by now," Twilight said.
"Are you feeling OK?" Spike asked.
"I'm fine," Twilight replied. "It was just another Dream."
Spike looked at her, slightly more concerned. "Capital D Dream?"
"It's not uncommon," Twilight said.
"But it is for you," Spike said. "Remember your last one?"
The thought of the event scared Twilight some. The last time she had had a Dream was when her parents had taken her to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns for the first time. The entire event had unfolded just as she had Dreamt it would. Including a few celebratory events afterward.
"It's nothing," Twilight said. "Just a simple Dream."
A small chuckle drifted through the room for a second, causing Twilight's ears to perk up. "Did you hear that?"
"Hear what?" Spike asked. "Are you sure you're alright?"
"I'm fine," Twilight said, moving toward the door. "I just need to get something to eat and you know how bad of a cook I am."
Spike shuddered, remembering the charred soup. "Just try to stay away from the places you went to in your Dream."
"There's nothing to worry about," Twilight said, leaving for Sugarcube Corner. She might be able to talk to Pinkie (or let Pinkie talk, which was more likely) while enjoying a good breakfast.
On her arrival, Twilight noticed there weren't many ponies around. She had gotten in before the morning rush.
Strange, she thought. Normally, the morning rush would be hitting around now.
Glancing around, she noticed something shift behind a vase. Passing it off as the flowers shifting, Twilight ordered her breakfast and sat down to wait.
A few minutes later, the rush finally hit and ponies came barreling toward the restaurant. Twilight looked closely to see if she was just being paranoid or if there was more to happen.
Nightwolf made his way above the crowd, gliding down to the ground and getting in faster than the others. He moved toward Twilight and she turned back around. Trying to figure out how to stop the event, Twilight didn't notice Nightwolf speak.
"Are you feeling alright?" he asked, worry showing on his face. "You're staring off into space."
Twilight shook her head, clearing her thoughts. "I'm fine," she said. "Just a little nervous."
Nightwolf looked at Twilight, concern and confusion showing on his face. "Nervous about what?"
"It's probably nothing," Twilight said. "I'm just being a little paranoid, I guess."
Nightwolf stood there for a few seconds before asking, "So could I sit down?"
"I'm going to be leaving soon," Twilight said. "If you want to take this table, go ahead. I should probably do some research on something."
Nightwolf sat down, appearing to dismiss the situation. "What are you going to be doing today?" he asked.
"I don't know," Twilight replied. "I'm supposed to take a day off."
"You deserve it," Nightwolf said. "You've already saved my life once or twice. Usually, I'm the one doing the saving." He stiffened a little after finishing the sentence. He acted as if he had said something he shouldn't have.
Twilight let the silence sit for a few moments before seeing her food come out. She pulled a box to her table so she could take it to the library so she could do some studying.
"It was nice seeing you," Nightwolf said, breaking the silence. "Maybe I'll see you later today."
Twilight didn't respond. She had some studying to do on Dreams before she could truly relax. All she did was leave the bits on the table and walk out as calmly as she possibly could.
That's when she felt the tremor. Just like in her Dream before. Twilight looked back frantically, hoping she wouldn't see what she had in the Dream.
And she didn't. The tremor stopped after only a few seconds. Maybe it is over, she thought.
Moving to the library quickly, Twilight began to relax a little more. This hadn't been in the Dream. It had to be over. There was no other explanation.
Something made a sound behind her and Twilight spun around to see Nightwolf running toward her.
"Get in the library!" he yelled.
Twilight, in her confusion, stayed where she was and watched Nightwolf run.
He finally reached her and said, "What are you still doing out here? Get inside! Now!" He turned around and yelled something, light flying from his hoof. He took to the air and dove after some creature that had gotten into town somehow.
Twilight snapped out of her daze and sprinted into the library. Waiting inside, she panted. Twilight looked around, hoping for Nightwolf to come through the door. Waiting for him to walk in and dust himself off. She looked for some sort of explanation where there was none. She frantically looked around the room, hoping for some form of sense.
Closing her eyes, Twilight began to breathe deeply, calming herself down. She opened them and was face down in a book with the morning sun rising. Again.
