Her knees buckled. “Why do you pretend to hate your brother?” Spike asked her, scooping up some of the books Shining had knocked off of the shelves in his arrival. “You’re perfectly allowed to be protective.” “No I’m not, Spike.” Twilight stretched her foreleg. “He’s my older brother. If anything, he’s to be protective of me. I don’t want to be his clingy baby sister, nor his LSBFF.” “Little Sister Best Friend Forever? Really?” Spike grinned. Twilight was silent. Spike walked up to her and peered empathetically into her eyes. She looked back up at him, hopeless. “Well, what do you want to be?” he asked, knowing it was the question she wanted him to ask. “I... don’t know.” Spike supposed she’d wanted not to answer. “I guess I want him to be happy.” He supposed wrong. He sighed and walked up to her, petting her mane. “There, there, you’re a good pony,” Spike said. “You’re best pony.” Twilight smiled. His words, though grammatically incorrect, were oddly comforting. She stood up and shook her mane out. “Oh right, Cotton accidentally got that letter instead of Queen Nightmare. Would you please send it?” He did (again) and Twilight trotted over to her book to make sure that she hadn’t missed any information from the text. To summarize all of the possibly useful information; There were two sets of Elements; the Elements of Harmony and the Elements of Change. Their subunits were as follows: Magic, Laughter, Generosity, Kindness, Loyalty and Honesty, and for Change: Bravery, Optimism, Common Sense, Patience, Strength and Purpose. There was originally a land called Alicornia, where Princesses Cadence, Luna, Celestia, Counselors Merriment, Enchantment, Constance, Charity, Compassion and Candor and Queen Faust lived. King Discord and Queen Nightmare Moon sealed Celestia into the sun, where she became known as the monstrous Sols Dust, who was going to be freed from her prison in a week. Perfect, she had notes. “Hey Spike, did you get the-” As if timed, Spike suddenly belched out a long jet of fire containing a scroll tied by a navy blue ribbon. It dropped down before Twilight’s front hooves and unravelled itself, knot first and then rolling out the letter. Twilight rolled her eyes. “The Queen can be SUCH a drama... well...” She levitated it before her and began reading aloud for Spike’s benefit. Dear Twilight, valedictorian etc, Thanks for the update. Really. It’s not like anypony has found out that information in the past 1,000 years of my ruling. The books were RIGHT THERE, Twilight. I’m amazed that you didn’t notice earlier. It’s like you’re losing your edge or something. Anyway, if you really think that this matter is so important, I can send you to Ponyville, the little rural town where me and my lover decided to hold our anniversary. In fact, I am sending you. You can go make sure that our day is perfect, check up on food, decorations, that type of thing. I know you love checklists, aren’t I so thoughtful? Make some friends or something too, honestly. And hey, you know what? How about some extra credit. You solve this problem with my stupid sister, and you get to be ruler of all of Equestria. Now you don’t have to go planning to kill Cotton Kadabra in her sleep, because she was actually your competition. You think she’s a ditzy klutz, I know, but she’s really smart and harmless enough to not ruin my country after me and Discord go on vacation. Unlike you. Kill my arrogant, self-righteous sister for me, and you get to wear my stupid little crown. Toodles! The Queen of Darkness Followed by that was a checklist of preparations to review in Ponyville. “COTTON WAS MY COMPETITION?!” Twilight screamed. Spike grimaced and pulled some wax out of his ear. “Well, she IS nice.” “NICE?!?! NICE?!?!?!?!?!?” “Oh look, your carriage is here!” Spike interjected, pulling open the curtains to show a brilliant golden carriage with swooping vines imprinted onto it, being pulled by two proud, white pegasus stallions. They whinnied, and Spike opened the door to greet them. “Nice. NICE. Niiiiccceeee....” said Twilight as she was dragged into the carriage.
