Summoning Twilight

Hour of Twilight: Chapter 1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are reading this, then you are encouraged not to read any further, for this book contains the story of one of my many experiences. Of all of stories and secrets I have, this is one of the ones I'm most ashamed of, for I have not only ignored the warning of an old friend, but I also nearly allowed not only all of Equestria, but the world as well.

You've likely picked up this tome thinking it's simply a diary and never bothered to open it. I pray that as many ponies believe that as possible. But if you're reading this, then you already know that this is no ordinary diary. For this belongs to me, Princess Celestia, ruler of Equestia and master of magic! I understand that revealing my name will intrigued you to read further, but please promise me, whoever it is that may find this book, to please close it after reading, and never speak of it again. In fact, don't even think about it afterwards.

For this is my shame. A simple mistake made by me, which not only nearly destroyed Equestria and even the world, but also nearly costing me my apprentice, my closest friend, and for a short time...well, you'll know what else she was soon enough.

I'm speaking of course, of the unicorn pony I've praised more then any other! Twilight Sparkle.

Using the knowledge I already knew, along with various other sources, I give you my terrible tale.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I remember the day the entire series of event went off. I'd probably say that it was like any other normal day, but I purposely planned that day to have been something completely different than the norm. Although I was aware of that, my most trusted student didn't.

"So thanks to my day with Pinkie Pie, I've learned to put more trust in my friends when they're doing something, even if it seems suspicious. Next time, I'm not going to worry about what she puts in her cupcakes." Twilight said. "Got all that, Spike?"

"...in...her...cupcakes. Yep, got it all!" Spike said.

"Great. Then send it to the princess!"

Looking back to it, I find it funny how the moment she was sending ME a letter, I was sending one to HER. For before the baby dragon could send me her letter, I forced him to breath out my own with his flames!

"Oh look! She just sent a letter to you!" Spike said.

Always loving to see what I wrote for her, Twilight Sparkle naturally read it right away. So with her magic horn, she opens the letter, hovers it over her face, and reads...

"Dear Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student! I have extremely important news that can not be told to you with a simple letter." She read. I must've scared her more then I intended, for she began to read it with more dread. "This is a matter that will not only greatly affect your life in Ponyville, but your role as my student. Come to me immediately. Your teacher, Princess Celestia."

After she read my letter, she stopped using her magic and dropped my letter. I don't believe this was the first time she read a letter from me like this. It's actually too bad I didn't meant to scare her. If I did it on purpose, I would've done a good job at it.

"My life in Ponyville? W-what could it be?" Twilight asked herself. "Could she be asking me return home to Canterlot? Even after all this time I've spent here with my friends? W-with Rainbow Dash...and Applejack..."

"And Rarity!" Spike added.

"AND EVERYONE! Un...unless this isn't about me moving! Oh, but what else could it be?"

"You could always ask the Princess yourself." Spike said.

"B-b-b-but I'm afraid too!"

At that moment, I sent a second letter via dragon breath, to which Twilight read immediately.

"Please come to my castle immediately. If you're so afraid to come, I'll be more then happy to get you myself."

"AAHH! SHE KNOWS!" Twilight screamed.

That's right. I knew. I've got my ways of knowing what my faithful student is doing. Since the news was of such importance, I had to reassure that she would actually come. I knew I would've scared her before sending the second note. I sent in anyway because A: She HAD to come. And B: I knew it would've been funny. I forget how fun these two were.

She ran outside as fast as she could, wanting to get to my kingdom as fast as possible. I guess I spooked her too well, for as soon as she dashed out, she ran right into another pony. The poor girl. The brown stallion didn't see it coming. Fortunately, she new him.

"Ow...Oh...sorry, Whooves. I didn't see you there."

"Oh, well that's quite alright." Doctor Whooves, the chestnut colored stallion with a hourglass cutie mark said. "I know how it feels to be in a hurry. Actually, I should be running off somewhere myself."

"I'm really sorry, Doctor. Maybe after I can make it up to you after come back from Canterlot."

Upon hearing Twilight mention Canterlot..."W-wait a moment! You're going to Canterlot? That actually happens to be where I need to be!"

"Oh really?" Twilight asked. "Small world. In that case, how about I give you a ride? I'll be going on my hot air balloon."

"Oh, how lovely. Much cheaper then the train. Haha."

A very generous offer my student offered to the Doctor. She accidently ran into a friend and gave him a ride to Canterlot. Normally, I would praise her for such kindness. In hindsight though, I wish she never did bring him along.
