//------------------------------// // PROLOGUE CHAPTER: The Mare in the Moon... Its not Real... Right? // Story: Friendship is Magic ~NEW~ (SEASON 1) // by KiyoHosokoawa00 //------------------------------// Twilight burst through the doors, running across the library, bumping into a ladder, causing said ladder to tip and crash down with a yelling mare at the top into a nearby pile of books as Twilight reached her destination: Her Desk. Approaching it however, she opened her saddle bag and levitated two books, a blank scroll, two quills, and a vial of Ink. "Need to warn the Princess! I'm so sure! It doesn't seem right, but it just seems like the timing is right!" She muttered to herself as the Mare she toppled off of the ladder digs her way out of the pile of books. "Sheesh Twi! How about a warning next time so I can at least be READY when you throw me off the ladder!?" She said in irritation as she approached her. She stopped and looked back at the pile. "Almost forgot my glasses." Her horn lights up with a dark purple aura and out of the pile, a pair of dark framed sunglasses levitate out and onto her head, but not over her eyes. "Sorry Vinyl Scratch, but this is important! I'm on the verge of possibly saving Canterlot, and possibly the whole land of Equestria!" Vinyl Scratch was Twilight Sparkle's Older Sister by Two years, but not by blood. Vinyl was adopted into the Sparkle when she was still a younger, MUCH YOUNGER Filly after she was left on the doorstep of the Orphanage she once lived in. Before Twilight was conceived, their Parents had tried time and time again to have a second foal after Vinyl and Twilight's older brother, Shining Armor had turned a few years old. Many attempts had ended in failure and eventually, Adoption became their next Option. It was then, Vinyl Scratch came to be a Sparkle. A year later however, just when things had started looking up for the Sparkle Family, things became even brighter when Twilight Velvet, their mother, discovered she was Pregnant with Twilight. Since her birth, Twilight, Vinyl, and Shining Armor had become inseperable. Which brought them to where they were now. As they grew up, Twilight and Vinyl, though very different from one another, both had one thing in common: the Love for Learning. Both had excelled in Magic Study and yes, Music. When they earned their Cutie Marks during their entrance exams to "Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns", they vowed to never leave each other's side. Today, Twilight discovered the 'Mare in the Moon' Prophecy and neither her nor Vinyl know what was in store for them. "The whole land of Equestria in Jepordy? Really, Twilight?" chuckled Vinyl with a slight smirk. She shook her head and approached her desk, looking over the books and research notes Twilight had done. "Come on, seriously? If there's one thing Celly is right about you? You WORRY TOO MUCH! Don't you remember the Party at Moon Dancer's I'm supposed to DJ tonight?" "Oh yes." Twilight rolled her eyes with Sarcasm. "Because a party is obviously WAAAY more important than the good of all of Equestria!" she looked back down at her notes. "This time I'm sure of it though! The Mare in the Moon... Elements of Harmony..." With each term she muttered, she levitated more books around her looking through each one, hoping to find something on anything. She tossed any book that didn't have anything aside, much to Vinyl's distaste. "Seriously, sis!? I JUST rearranged the entire Library last night! By author, genre, and Titles!" As she finished, a book slapped her in the face. "TWILIGHT!!!" Not really listening, Twilight took a scroll with her magic as Vinyl began putting the books back. <><><><><><><> Dear Princess Celestia, My continuous study of magic has lead me to believe that we are on the brink of Disaster. It turns out that the Mare in the Moon mentioned in Legends is indeed Nightmare Moon and she is set to return return to Equestria and bring about the Eternal Night. Something must be done to ensure that the Prophecy does not go through. My Sister, Vinyl Scratch and I await your full response. Your Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle <><><><><><><> With her signature, she passed the scroll over to Vinyl Scratch whom had finished rearranging the books. Vinyl rolled her eyes and with a sigh, lit up her own horn to conjure a candle. She placed it on her own desk and took a match nearby, which she keeps plenty of, struck it on her horn, causing it to light, but with strike of her magic tranfering into it, the flame burned green. She lit the candle and held the scroll over it. The scroll burst into flames and disappeared in a glitery breeze. "Is there any reason why you think this prophecy thing is even a little bit true, Sis?" she asked with a small hint of sarcasm. "I mean... We're supposed to be on Vacation, remember? It's Summer Break! Everypony is out at the beach, going to parties, and even going out with families!" "Vinyl Scratch, if there's one thing that I take seriously, it's the research I put my heart and soul into. This time though... I've been studying the stars." She looks up into the sky and sighs. "Everything points to the One Thousandth Year of the Summer Sun Festival." Vinyl did a double take on this new information. "You can't be serious..." Vinyl chuckled nervously. "You... You aren't serious, right?" Just then, the candle burst into a violent flame storm and a Scroll dropped from the flames. Vinyl took it with her magic and opened it up, reading the reply from the Princess. "Good! What did she say? She's sending the guards? Stepping up security?" Twilight asked rather smugly. "She said to get a life." A few Awkward moments of Silence passed with Twilight standing speechless in her spot. "WHAAAAAAT!?!?!?" +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ::: NEXT TIME ::: Twilight: How could the Princess just brush us off like this!? Vinyl: She's put us in charge of organizing the Summer Sun Festival in Ponyville. Twilight: Hi! I'm Twilight Sparkle and-- Vinyl: HOLY HAYSTACKS!!!
