Prologue:
Delayed


At the Golden Oaks Library in Ponyville, Twilight Sparkle and her dragon assistant, Spike were organizing her textbooks by alphabetical, genre, ahhh, you get it. Spike was starting to have trouble keeping his books in a pile, as it was beginning to grow in height. "Enh!" He was waving his hand to the top of the pile, and suddenly fell to the ground and so did the pile, causing a mess. Twilight took notice and started to remove the books covering Spike with her magic.

"Thanks, Twi." sighed the dragon sweeping dust off of himself.

"Next time, Spike," Twilight glared. "Try using a stepping stool." At that note, the doorbell rang. Twilight used her magic to open the door, and it was Derpy Hooves, a mailmare, and she was holding an envelope.

"Letter for Ms. Twilight Sprinkler!" She called. Twilight was about to correct her, but Spike took the letter, said thanks and shut the door.

"Who's it from?" asked the lavender unicorn.

"It's from the Vanhoover Publishing Department." Spike opened the letter and cleared his voice.

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

If you are wondering about the release of Daring Do and the Kingdom of the Crystal Cloud, I am afraid that there was a small quanity of copies, and they were already sent to the Fillydelphia Library. Please if it is okay with you, we'll have a shipment of copies sent to Ponyville by April 2014.

Hoping you well,
Prof. Science Fiction,
Head of the Vanhoover Publishing Department.

"Oh, Celestia," squeaked Twilight, as her eyes grew small. "Rainbow Dash has been waiting forever for my mo- er, I mean, the newest edition, and if she finds out about this, she'll be crushed."

"Well, we can just tell her the truth and then, head for Vanhoover." Spike suggested.

"Spike!" Twilight interjected. The door knocked again, and it was Rainbow Dash who was knocking. Twilight opened the door and noticed the excited look on Rainbow's face.

"OHMYGOSH OMYGOSH OMYGOSH OMYGOSH!" stuttered Rainbow Dash. "IT'S HERE!"

"Uh, Rainbow?" Twilight tried to speak, but her words were drowned out by sounds of cheering and screeching as Rainbow Dash flew to the highest shelves of the library, hoping for the book that obviously didn't come. After a while of searching, Rainbow finally landed beside a ruffled up maned Twilight.

"Where is it?" She asks.

"That's what I want to talk about." Twilight saw Spike quickly packed his bags with diamonds, Rarity's picture and other things. Twilight sighed. "The books are not here yet."

"What?" Her confused look became a look of disappointment. "Whaddya mean, they're not here?"

"We just got a letter, telling us that they won't come until April."

"WHAT?! Then, I won't have time for reading, because I'll be busy pushing snow and rain clouds all over Ponyville!"

"I know, Rainbow, and I'm sorry." Twilight lowered her head and Rainbow started to cry. Suddenly, Twilight saw seven familiar books and suddenly got an idea. She used her magic to levitate them off the shelf and laid them seperately on the table by Rainbow Dash.

They read in order: Mare-y Potter and the Alicorn's Stone, Mare-y Potter and the Temple of Mysteries,
Mare-y Potter and the Prisoner of Canterlot, Mare-y Potter and the Chalice of Cloudsdale, Mare-y Potter and the Order of the Princess, Mare-y Potter and the Three-Trait King, and finally, Mare-y Potter and the Harmonic Hallows.

"What are these?" Rainbow asked, finally raising her head.

"These are my favorite books, Rainbow." Twilight exclaimed. "And need I remind you that they are from the same author as Daring Do?"

Rainbow opened an eye. "Really?"

"Yes, and they are just as adventurous as Daring. Give Mare-y a try."

"Fine, but just because it's from Daring Do." Rainbow Dash opened the book and began to read.
