Twilight Sparkle was nervous. Sure, she kept a calm face, but Popo's words kept bouncing around her face. Her body gave a small tremor as she rode in the carriage down the street. She had just been turned into an alicorn and crowned a new princess. Ponies celebrated left and right. She calmed her self. She looked at the happy ponies and her smile became more sincere.
She saw something black in the crowd. Time seemed to slow down as her heart sped up. She focused on it. It was Popo.
The scream could be heard from Ponyville.
