	Twilight appeared in the dark room with a flash of light. She stumbled and fell to the floor, smacking the soft carpet floor. She struggled to get up with her sore muscles, shaking and limping as she walked through the room.
Twilight looked at her surroundings. She was in a very small enclosed bedroom. An unamde bed lay on one side with a small figure sleeping restfully. other than a dusty bookshelf that took up the other room and a small wooden desk, the furniture was sparse. Twilight wanted to laugh at how small she thought the bookshelf was, but her body hurt too much. She wanted to know more about her surroundings, but she didn't have much time.
She stumbled throught the midnight light, tripping as she walked to the nearby bed. She rested on the side of the warm wooden bed frame for what she was aobut to do. She wanted to sit there forever, maybe go to sleep, but there was no time. It was now, or never.
She looked at the human girl sleeping in the bed, quiet as can be. Twilight estimated that she was about 13 years old. She was a little short, about 5'1", and skinny. Her blond hair glowed in the blue moonlight, lighting up her face. She looked peacefull in her rest, not knowing what was going to happen. Twilight was surprised that the girl didn't wake up from all the ruckus that she made.
Now or never.
Tears ran down Twilight's cheek. She couldn't believe what she has to do, but it was the only way to defeat Discord again. Discord... The name stuck in her head, like a song you can't forget.
Only Twilight had the power to defeat him again, but she couldn't last much longer. Discord had cursed her, a spell that would petrify her... Soon. There was no way around it. No way, but one.
She stared at the sleeping girl, trying to hold back her tears as much as possible. She kept searching her mind for another way around... and came up blank. For once, she was out of ideas.
Twilight leaned over to the girl's face, dropping tears along the way. She wiped her face with her hoof and mentally braced herself for what she was about to do.
Standing there, hovering over the girl, Twilight saw something in her. Saw something she could trust. Put hope in. Twilight knew that this was the pefect person.
Twilight closed her eyes, squinting. Her horn started to glow. The room slowly filled with purple light. Everything began to shake; Books fell off of the small bookshelf and pictures fell from the walls.
A mix of emotions was flowing through Twilight. She was worried about what was going to happen to the world. But at the same time, she was curious of what this girl would do as her. And worst of all, she wondered if she would ever see her friends again.
One last tear dropped from Twilight's eye. She wispered down to the girl, even though Twilight knew that she was dead asleep,"The fate of Equestria lies in your hooves. Do good, my friend. I trust you."
And with those final words, Twilight touched the girl with her horn.
In a flash of bright white light, the two bodys began to change form. The girls skin grew short purple furr. Her hair changed dark blue, with a streak of purple and pink down the side. Her hands and feet now became hooves.
Twilight's body morphed too. Her fur changed to pale skin, her body changed shape to that of a human. Most notably, her horn shrunk into nothing.
Twilight had become the young girl, and she had taken Twilight's place.
Twilight limped in her new body. Not only did she still hurt, but she also wasn't used to standing on 2 legs. She ended up crawling to a nearby desk. She reached up on the desk, crumpling a piece of paper and a pen in her hand. Twilight had to write a note; the poor girl would be scared to death if she had no idea what was going on.
Twilight sat on the soft carpet floor. Scribbling on the crumpled piece of paper, she tryed to make words out of her horrid handwriting. She had never written with a hand before. Her hand shaking didn't help either.
Not too soon later, she finished the note. It looked like somebody had snatched the note out of a garbage can. Nevertheless, it was still a note, so it would work.
Twilight fell to her side, trying to relax. She had done all that she could. Now it is time for someone else to live on her legend.

Right before she turned to stone, she smiled.

Dear_____

I trust you. I trust you to do the right thing with your new abilities. I trust you to learn well, and use your newfound magic for good. A dark cloud of evil roams my world. Only I could defeat it, but unfortunate circumstances place the burden on your shoulders. But, You are a new person... I mean pony, now. There's not much I can say because I don't have much time, but I just want to warn you. You have a long journey ahead of you. You are a smart pony, and I trust that you will take this well. Goodbye forever. And... Good luck.

Twilight Sparkle
