As Scootaloo travels through the city she makes her way to a large castle at the back end of the city. When she arrives she sees the guards waiting for her before they let her through into the castle as she makes her way to the throne room. As she gets to the throne room she sees a large white alicorn with flowing rainbow hair. “Princess Celestia, I’ve come to warn you about an attack on Cloudsdale and Rainbow Dash, captain of the Wonderbolts, has been captured by the attackers the changelings.” Scootaloo says trying to explain the situation. “This sounds like a serious issue.” A voice says as Celestia sits there seemingly unmoving and unresponsive. As Scootaloo walks closer to Celestia she notices she’s not really there before seeing a dark blue alicorn with similar blue flowing hair walks from behind the throne and walks up to Scootaloo. “Princess Luna?” Scootaloo says seeing the princess. “Yes Scootaloo, it is I PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT.” Luna says as a large gust of wind comes from behind her, scaring Scootaloo. “Oh, sorry about that it’s an old habit.” She says apologizing for the fright. “What’s going on Princess Luna? Where is Princess Celestia?” Scootaloo asks confused by the situation. “Yes, if what you told me is true then we must hurry to my sister’s side.” Luna says as she walks to a back door. As the pair walk threw a corridor they enter a bed room and see Celestia sleeping in her bed unresponsive to their intruding. “What’s wrong with Princess Celestia?” Scootaloo asks looking at Celestia. “She is in an unending sleep; she has been for three years ever since Ponyvile was destroyed.” Luna says explaining things. “What, she can’t wake up?” Scootaloo says confused. “Yes, Princess Twilight Sparkle has gone off to the Crystal Empire to seek a cure using their ancient library.” Luna says explaining things. “This is part of the reason Ponyvile hasn’t been rebuilt in the past three years.” Luna says explaining things. “What does this have to do with Ponyvile?” Scootaloo asks curiously. “If Ponyvile had been rebuilt and with Twilight’s extended stay in the Crystal Empire, eventually ponies would get curious and then discover this secret.” Luna says explaining to Scootaloo. “If ponies discovered that their beloved Princess Celestia was trapped in this endless sleep they would panic and chaos would spread across the kingdom.” Luna says explaining things to Scootaloo. “Why’d we come here anyway, can she here us in there?” Scootaloo says looking at the sleeping Celestia. “Well technically yes, but there is another way for us to communicate with her.” Luna says as she starts lying down with Celestia. “What are you doing?” Scootaloo asks confused by her actions. “Did you forget young Scootaloo I am the princess of dreams.” Luna says before she uses magic and both she and Scootaloo fall asleep. Scootaloo awakens in an odd area with various colors in the sky and on the ground and various buildings and ponies warped into odd shapes and other oddities as a line of doors lie in front of her. “Where is this?” Scootaloo says looking at her surroundings. “This is the hub of the dream world where the dreams of various ponies coalesce allowing me excess to every sleeping pony in Equestria.” Luna says explaining herself. Suddenly a Celestia descends on the duo surprised by their presence. “Why hello Luna it’s a bit early for a visit.” Celestia says addressing Luna. “Hello to you Scootaloo, I’m very surprised by your visit.” Celestia says addressing Scootaloo. “How is this possible, what’s going on, how are we talking to Princess Celestia?” Scootaloo says confused. “You see Scootaloo, just because my sister sleeps doesn’t mean we cannot speak with her, with my magic we can speak to her in her dreams.” Luna says explaining things to Scootaloo. “Yes Luna visit’s me nightly so I can catch up on the day’s events.” Celestia says explaining things. “So what is this about it must be important for Luna to tell someone about my predicament?” Celestia says asking Scootaloo. Scootaloo tells Celestia about the attack on Cloudsdale and Rainbow Dash’s capture by the changelings. “I see, the changelings have returned to Equestria and they’ve stopped hiding around and started attacking us.” Celestia says after listening to Scootaloo’s explanation. “So then sister, what will we do?” Luna asks Celestia concerned about the situation. “If I was awake, then I could go do battle with them, while you maintain the kingdom, but in their predicament both of us must remain here.” Celestia says explaining things out loud. “What about Twilight, if her and the other’s got together couldn’t they beat them with that rainbow thing.” Scootaloo asks curiously. “I think that is part of the reason they captured Rainbow Dash, unless all six of the element bearers are together they cannot activate the powers of the elements.” Luna explains to Scootaloo. “So then, what now?” Scootaloo asks concerned. “Scootaloo, I have an important task to ask you, as you know Twilight and her friends have scattered across Equestria after Ponyvile was destroyed, I ask you to find them and gather them together to try and rescue Rainbow Dash and defeat the changelings.” Celestia says addressing Scootaloo’s concerns. “That’s a lot of pressure, but if it can help Rainbow Dash and the rest of Equestria I’ll do it.” Scootaloo says informing the princesses. “This may be a daunting task but we have faith in you young Scootaloo.” Luna says to Scootaloo happily. A while later Scootaloo and Luna awaken and leave the room heading back towards the throne room. “So then where should I start?” Scootaloo asks Luna curiously. “Well; Rarity and her family moved to Manehattan, Applejack and her family are living with relatives in Appleloosa, Twilight Sparkle is in the Crystal Empire looking for away to awaken my sister, Flutter Shy has taken to traveling alongside Discord, and no one has heard from Pinkie Pie for over a year.” Luna says explaining things to Scootaloo. “So then Flutter Shy and Pinkie Pie will be the hardest, but with Twilight’s help I should be able to find everyone.” Scootaloo says happily. “Yes, well that to might be difficult, a massive ice storm has made regular travel to the Crystal Empire impossible for a while.” Luna says explaining things to Scootaloo. “So then what should I do then?” Scootaloo asks Luna curiously. “I don’t know, but if you hurry to the platform, you can board a train for Manehattan and get to Rarity.” Luna says explaining things to Scootaloo. “Okay then.” Scootaloo says rushing out of the throne room. “Good luck young Scootaloo, all of Equestria is depending on you.” Luna says as Scootaloo exits the castle and rushes off.
