//------------------------------// // The Book [Revised] // Story: Paranormal Ponies // by opuscon789 //------------------------------// “Come on, there has to be a spell book somewhere that I haven’t read yet!” Twilight looked around the library for a book she had yet to read. It was 2 o’clock in the morning in Ponyville. No pony was awake except for Twilight, and she was usually up that late to study. So far, she has read every book in the library. If she can’t find anything new, then she has to contact the Canterlot library and tell them to send more books. The lavender unicorn used her magic to look at the books one by one. She looked at every book that passed her. But they were all books that she had read. “Come on there has to be a book somewhere,” she said, upset. “Books are like a treasure to me. I have to have something here!” Twilight had no choice but to sent a letter to the Princess so she can report it to the Canterlot library. If only the library was bigger and had more books... she thought. Twilight went to her stand and got a quill and a scroll. It only took her five minutes to write the letter. Once she was done she rolled up the letter and put it aside so she can send it in the morning. She couldn’t send it because Spike and Princess Celestia are asleep. Twilight would cause an interruption. Twilight yawned. She had been very stressed in the past few days. Princess Celestia gave her a lot of studying to do. She never got enough time to spend time with her friends. She hadn’t left the library in two weeks. Spike went out to get food and sometimes Pinkie Pie would come in but then she would get bored in leave. She has seen every one of her friends, except Rainbow Dash. She never came in the library in 5 days. Twilight heard from Rarity that she went off to Cloudsdale for a big weather team meeting. And Twilight heard from Spike yesterday that she was back in town but she was very stressed and tired. Rainbow went to her home and never came out ever since. She must be very stressed after that meeting. Twilight needed to find a way to spend time with Rainbow because she never gets to see her anymore. Twilight walked upstairs to her bed. Spike was sleeping soundly in his basket. Twilight slowly climbed into bed and closed her eyes. She slowly drifted off into dreamland. Twilight woke up on the cool floor. I must have fell off my bed, she thought. But when she got up, she realised she was not in the Ponyville library. She was in a old library. It was dark, there was a window only letting in a little sunlight. Twilight tried to look out the window, but her jaw dropped when she found she couldn’t see out of the window because it was too foggy. She could not see two centimeters in front of her face. Twilight turned around to find that all the bookshelves were empty. Twilight started hearing voices. The sound was coming from the second floor of the library. Twilight, though slightly traumatised, was brave enough to trot up the stairs. She stepped one hoof followed by the others. Then when she reached the second floor. There was one book on the shelf. It was glowing white. Twilight trotted up to it. She still heard the voices that were now around her. She levitated the book off the shelf and looked at the book closely. The title of the book said “Spirit Spell Book”. On the cover was a picture of a pony that was white and it was floating in mid air. The floor of the library floor started to collapse underneath her hoofs. Twilight lost her balance and fell into a dark void. Everything went black. Twilight feels a sudden jolt on her bed. It felt like she was really on her bed. She sighs in relief. “It was all just a dream.” She looked right in front of her body to find a book. Twilight levitates it in front of her face. The book looked familiar. She looks at the title saying “Spirit Spell Book”. Twilight’s eyes widened. “How is that possible? I dreamed about this book and now it’s lying on my bed?” she asked. “Twilight, are you ok?” Spike heard her talking right beside her bed. “I’m fine Spike, I just got this book. I never got it before. It was in my dream and now its on my bed.” “Maybe Princess Luna came by to drop it off or to prank you. Otherwise, if that’s not, it then you might as well put it in “The Things That Can’t Be Explained Like Pinkie Pie” file. “Hopefully it can be explained sooner or later,” Twilight said scratching her head. “Spike, can you do me a faver? Can you get the scroll on top of my desk and send it to Princess Celestia. I need more books for the library.” “Sure thing, Twilight,” Spike ran downstairs. He got the scroll and opened the window. Green fire came out of his mouth and burned the scroll. The smoke went out the window. “Well I got a day off pretty much cause I did everything Princess Celestia told me to do last night. I never seen Rainbow Dash ever since she left for the meeting. I think I’m just going to spend a day with her,” Twilight jumped out of bed and headed out the door. “Have fun,” Spike waved goodbye “Maybe while shes out. I’m going to spend the day with Rarity, hehe.” Spike ran out the door. Twilight trotted through town looking at the clouds to see if she can spot the cyan pegasus. She was not in the main part of town. She might be at her house. She could be still resting from a long trip. Twilight reaches Rainbow’s house outside of town. Twilight cased a standing on clouds spell and teleported herself on Dash’s doorstep. “Knock, Knock” “Rainbow Dash, are you there?” Twilight asked as she knocked on the door. Rainbow answered the door “Twilight, how did you get up here?” “Teleportation, I’m here because I never seen you in a long time,” Twilight said. “Yeah, its been awhile,” Rainbow scratched her back. “How about we spend the day with each other,” Twilight suggested. Rainbow smiled. “Well... ok. I’m off for a week anyway. I can totally hang with you for the day. I was starting to getting bored anyway.” “I’m just off until the Princess give me a new thing to do,” Twilight added. “Great! What do you want to do first?” Rainbow asked. “Have you had breakfast?” Twilight asked. “No.Do you want to go get breakfast?” Rainbow asked. “Yes, maybe after we go get breakfast we can go to the Ponyville Carnival,” Twilight said. “Great I will be out.” Rainbow trotted back into her home. Soon after the two ponies went to breakfast and spent the whole day the the Carnival. Both of them had a very fun time. They both came by the library that night. Rainbow slammed through the door “That was amazing! Most awesome day of my life!” Twilight followed behind “That was the most fun time I had in awhile!” “I’msogladyourhome,” Spike said shaking under the table. “What's wrong Spike?” Twilight asked. Twilight started hearing voices “G-G-GHOST!” Spike yelled. “I ain’t afraid of no ghost,” Rainbow said tough like. “Where are the voices coming from?” Twilight asked. “U-U-Upstairs,” Spike said shaking in fear. Twilight slowly walked up the stairs, one hoof at a time. Rainbow followed behind her. Once Twilight reached to top of the steps she looked around and finds that the book that she was looking at this morning. Twilight trotted up to the “Spirit Spell Book”. “Why do I have this book?” Twilight asked. “I don’t know. Where did you get it?” Rainbow asked. “I dreampt about it earlier. For some reason it came out of my dream,” Twilight responded. “So what you're saying is that this book broke the “fourth wall”?” Rainbow asked. “You can say that,” Twilight answered. She put her hoof on the book. Twilight took a breath. Rainbow flew over the book and flouted there. Twilight slowly opened the book slowly. Once she fully opened it she looked at the page. “Nothing? I’m just going to throw this book o-,” Twilight was interrupted by a beam hitting her and burning her on the face. The beam also hit Rainbow Dash. Both of them fell to the floor. Then they heard a voice. On Celestia’s day and Luna’s night, make these ponies have a fright. Seen by day, dead by night. No pony will sleep tight. Go in deep into their hearts. Go in deep just like a dart. Stop the beat, don’t need to breathe. Make them the gateway to our world and there world. Twilight woke up on the library floor. Standing up on her hoofs she sees Spike walking up the steps. “Twilight? Rainbow? Are you ponies ok?” he asked. “I’m fine Spike. Thanks for checking,” Twilight responded, but Spike never looked her direction. “Where are you?” Spike asked. ‘I’m right here Spike,” Twilight said, but Spike still never looked her direction. Rainbow flew up and looked at Twilight. Her eyes widened. “Twilight, I can see right through you.” Twilight’s eyes also widened “Rainbow, I can see through you too.” “What happen to us?” Rainbow asked. Twilight trotted up to Spike and tried to push him down. Her hoof went right through him.               “Oh no!” Twilight said worryingly. “What?” Rainbow asked. “We’re dead.”
