A New Potion


Twilight Sparkle walked down into her basement. She would create a talent enhancer for her and her friends. They didn't know yet, but she would tell them after they drank it... She started to get everything down that she would need. Some vials, a tub of water, some herbs, dangerous chemicals, and most importantly, her journal that held the recipe for it all.

She didn't know what would happen, or if it would even work, but then again, it might just work. After in deep thought, she finally had everything set up in a nice, neat order. She put her pristine, white lab coat on and some goggles. No telling what would happen even while she would work on this. She needed absolute concentration.

"SPIKE! Don't come down here! I'm going to create a potion that might become dangerous!" Twilight yelled.

"Ok! Just come up for dinner!" Spike answered back, like this was normal.

Twilight smiled in approval and started to get to work.


Spike started to get worried about Twilight. She has never been in that basement for that long. Even if it was super important. She had been locked up in there for many days, he has lost count. But, he soon heard a faint knock on the door.

"Twilight? You in there?" he heard a country accent. Spike ran over to open the door.

He opened up to five mares standing there he knew as his and Twilight's friends. He ushered them inside the tree library.

"Hi every- OOF!" Spike was knocked over by Rainbow Dash.

"Where's Twilight? She's been gone for a whole 2 weeks!" Rainbow Dash snorted. Spike stared up into her rose colored eyes.

"In her basement! She's been working on a potion and won't let me in! I swear!" Spike answered quickly.

They all looked at him for a moment to see if he was lying, but he looked concerned for Twilight, but shocked at the pegasus outburst. She let him up after Fluttershy put her hoof on her shoulder.

"What do you mean, new potion?" Rarity asked Spike. He started to break into a cold sweat before some rumbling came from under the rug.

"What the hay?" Applejack muttered before the rug slid off an opening hole. Out popped Twilight who held six vials in her telekinesis. She had the 'Lesson Zero' smile, looking like she hasn't slept in days.

"Hello, girls!" Twilight said in a sweet voice, that didn't match her looks at the moment. Her smile softened into her regular sweet, smile.

They all looked at the vials.They contained a liquid that changed colors. Everypony took a slight step so Twilight didn't see. Twilight followed their gaze towards the vials and she frowned.

"I see you found the vials, like I intended you to in a way." Twilight started to uncork the bottles containing the liquids. They all watched the smoke afraid of what might happen.

"Uh, may I ask one question, please?" Fluttershy asked in her timid manner. Twilight simply smiled, giving a nod yes. "What is that?" Fluttershy finally asked.

"These are talent enhancers! I thought you'd like to try it out!" Twilight urged on. Rainbow Dash looked at it like it was the thing to get her into the Wonderbolts, and her the captain.

"Are you sure that's a good idea, darling?" Rarity asked. Twilight nodded yes vigorously.

"I'll do it! I want to do it! Please let me do it!" Pinkie Pie jumped around Twilight when she stood up. "Go nuts." Twilight placed a vial in front of Pinkie Pie, who immediately drank it.

"The effects won't be immediate, so you have to wait." Twilight told her seriously. "Anypony else want to try?" Twilight asked the rest of her friends. They all looked at her and winced, except for Rainbow Dash who in turn grabbed a vial and drank it right up. Then they all let in and drank it. Twilight took the last one and drank it to the very last drop.

COO-KOO! COO-KOO! "Well looks like you should all go home. It's almost 7:00! I need to get my needs settled anyways, so bye!" Twilight ushered them all outside. They said their goodbyes and left home. They all felt tired, but then again thy drank a potion that could do anything.
