The sky was dark, and the air was filled with the sweet aroma of flowers as the wind whistled through the night. It was truly a peaceful feeling that this night held, and Twilight Sparkle enjoyed every bit of it on her way home, as if it was a gift. She was glad she had gotten at least this one gift today. It was her 18th birthday after all.
Twilight remembered this, and her head drooped as the events of today replayed in her memory. It was actually the lack of events that were making her sad. There was no birthday party for her today; she didn't receive any gifts, her parents didn't come down to Ponyville to see her, not even her closest friends took the time to at least say happy birthday. She is especially surprised that Pinkie Pie, the element of laughter and pony whose whole life is all about parties and friends, didn't even remember Twilight's birthday.
Tears slid down Twilight's cheek as she made the final steps to the front door of the quiet library she owns in Ponyville. She wiped them off with the back of her hoof and went inside. Her horn started to glow a gentle lavender and so did the library door as she used her magic to close it. She was blinded by a bright flash of light, and heard multiple voices scream one word she was hoping to hear all day:
"SURPRISE!!!!!

With great difficulty I finally awoke from some sort of unnatural slumber, and immediately noticed I couldn't move. Not even my eyes. I attempted to move them, but to no avail. My peripheral vision was just enough for me to see that I was nowhere. There was absolutely nothing for as far as I could see. How far that was, I had no clue, seeing as there is no form of depth in this strange void. It did feel like I was going somewhere however, which was strange, considering there was nowhere to go. I simply floated here for a while, not knowing how long it was. This void was certainly different from anything I've ever experienced before, almost as if it's a different dimension.
I soon became bored, and went to pull out my ipod, but still couldn't move. I tried imagining the songs in my head instead, a trick I learned once I found out music was my passion. It is my life, it's what I live for. I listen to it 24/7, wherever I go, and am always coming up with new ideas for songs. Anything that has to do with music, you can be sure I'm there.
After listening to a couple of my imaginary songs I noticed something coming towards me. It was an orange party hat, with a pink and yellow balloon design on it. The string somehow stretched, and scratched my chin as it attached itself to me.
This is getting weirder by the minute.
The white void, or dimension, or whatever it is started to become less of a white, and more of a grey. Eventually I saw a tiny speck in the distance, and it grew closer every minute. Or what I assumed was a minute, I still couldn't tell if time worked right. After what seemed like an hour, the speck was big enough to see that it was exactly like that portal/black hole thing that brought me here.
I reached the portal, and a weird tingling sensation coursed through my body. The darkness that was in the portal just seconds ago transformed into a mix-mash of bright colors. The portal was mere inches away from my face, and I was sucked in.
BANG!!!
My ears rang from some loud explosion, and my eyes took in my new surroundings. I thought I was crazy, because the first thing I saw was Twilight Sparkle, standing 10 feet away from me. So many things were going on in my mind that I completely forgot about moving, which meant my fist was still out in a bro-hoof position. I noticed that I was moving, and for some reason Twilight was getting closer. I realized I was flying through the air, but it was too late. My fist connected with Twilight's horn, knocking her out and causing me to flip forward and face-plant into the ground, knocking me out as well.

"TWILIGHT!!!"
The mane-6 stared, not wanting to believe what just happened.
"Pinkie! Ah told ya that no good would come from that party cannon of your's, yet ya brought it anyway! Now look at what ya did!"
"That wasn't supposed to happen!"
"But it did Pinkie, an' it's all your fault!"
"No it's not! I didn't do that!"
"Uh, guys-"
"Yes it is! Ah can't believe ya brought that thing, even after ah told ya not to!"
"Yeah Pinkie, I thought you were cool, but here you go bringing that stupid thing, and now you hurt Twilight!"
"Guys-"
"It's not my fault, I swear! That wasn't supposed to happen!"
"Of course it isn't your fault. Nothing ever i-"
"EVERYPONY BE QUIIIIIEEEEEEEETTT!!!!!
The room fell silent from Fluttershy's sudden outburst.
"Thank you. Now we need to figure out what to do about this situation."
"Alright. Rarity, go git a carriage so we can take Twilight an' this ugly varmint to Celestia."
"I think it's kinda cute."
"Ya think everything's cute, Fluttershy. Now go git Twilight an' put her in tha carriage, now that Rarity's back."
Rarity arrived with the carriage, and helped Fluttershy put Twilight inside.
"Rainbow Dash, git saddled up. Me an' you are pullin' this thing to Canterlot. Rarity, git that, that, thing, and put it in the carriage."
"Eww, I'm not touching such an uncouth creature."
"I'll help!"
"No Pinkie! Sit down! You'll just mess things up again!"
Tears started to swell in Pinkie's eyes, and eventually she couldn't hold them back anymore, and she started crying.
"Now now, Pinkie, I'm sure Applejack didn't mean that. She's just a little upset right now, that's all. Now let's go get in the carriage."
Pinkie wiped the tears off her cheek, and a small smile appeared on her face.
"Thanks Fluttershy."
"Fluttershy, git that varmint an' put it in the carriage."
Fluttershy did as she was told, and got into the carriage herself. Applejack and Rainbow Dash got saddled to the carriage, and the night was silent except for the sound of hoofsteps as they rushed to Canterlot to inform Princess Celestia of the events that had just transpired at the library back in Ponyville.
