//------------------------------// // Chapter 05: The Truth // Story: My Little Pony: Equestrian Quest // by KHXhero //------------------------------// Chapter 05: The Truth Later that day, Twilight and Spike were explaining to her family everything about what happened back in the woods. "So, there we were, just looking at the flowers on the edge of town, and then suddenly I get snatched by the Diamond Dogs!" Spike said. "Twilight came to rescue me, but then the Dogs tried to literally squish me! And then suddenly, Twilight somehow breathed fire from her mouth and scared the Diamond Dogs off!" "What?!" Night Light and Velvet asked. "It was a good thing she did, though she almost roasted me alive." Spike said. "Hey, I was just trying to help!" Twilight said. "I know you were, but you could've watched where you were going." Spike said. "Look, nobody got hurt, I'm just trying to make my point clear. Twilight literally breathed Fire, Like Me, except that her hooves were also on fire too!" Night Light and Velvet looked at each other, with a shocked look on their face, and a worried one... "You don't believe me?!" Spike asked. "Twilight tell them!" "It's true!" Twilight said. "They were about to hurt Spike, and I just got mad and then boom, it was like Flame City!" "It's not that Twilight, we believe you, both of you." Velvet said. "I'm sorry... it was an accident." Twilight said. "Oh Twilight, we know it was an accident." Night Light said. "Has a Pony ever learned how to breath fire like that?" Twilight asked. Nopony was noticing but Velvet began to cough quietly. "I don't think so Twilight." Night Light said, noticing Velvet's strange movement. "Yeah, I think Dragons are suppose to be the only ones breathing fire." Spike said. "I should know since I'm a dragon myself." "Or maybe what I did was some kind of Fire-Attack Spell from the old ancient times that allows ponies to breathe fire-" Twilight said. But then Velvet began to almost faint and wheeze. "Mom!" Twilight said as she and Night Light catched her before she hit the floor. Velvet soon quickly regain conciousness. "Honey... are you alright?" Night Light asked. "I'm fine... I'm fine..." Velvet said. "I'll get you a glass of water-" Spike said. "No Spike, I'm ok." Velvet said. "Spike, why don't you go upstairs... me and Velvet need to tell Twilight something." Night Light said. Spike looked at them, and at Twilight. "Somepony's in trouble..." Spike said. "Spike, please." Twilight said, and then looked at her parents. "I'm not in trouble am I?" "No." Night Light said. "We just need to talk with you in private." "Ok." Twilight said a bit confused, since her parents were acting a bit cautious and worried for some reason. "I'll just... head upstairs." Spike said as he went left the room, closing the door. Twilight looked at her parents, who were talking quietly. "Night Light-" Velvet said. "Honey... she's old enough... she needs to know." Night Light said. Velvet looked at him and then sighed. "Ok... we'll tell her." Velvet said. "Mom, Dad, what's going on?" Twilight asked. Night Light looked at Velvet, who gave a nod. "It's just that, well... your mother and I knew that this day would come..." Night Light said. "Wh...what day?" Twilight asked. "The day... we told you the truth." Night Light said. "What truth?" Twilight asked. "Well, first off Twilight, we want you to try to take this in calmly, and keep your head together." Velvet said. "Because... it may shock you completely." "Why?" Twilight said, and then she gasped. "Wait, Mom... Did you Lose your Job!?" "Wh... No." Velvet said. "Oh, wait Is Shining and Cadence divorcing?!" Twilight asked. "No, it's not that." Night Light said. "Look, you don't need to guess." "Well, then what is it?" Twilight asked. Night Light looks at Velvet. "Tell Her!" Night Light said. "Why don't you tell her?!" Velvet asked. "You're the one who didn't want to, so you tell her." Night Light said. "Ok!... fine." Velvet said, and then cleared her voice and putted on a weak smile. "Twilight...." "Yes mom?" Twilight asked with a smile, with her happy face one. Velvet's smile then turned to a frown. "You're adopted..." Velvet said. Twilight's smile turned to a huge shocked face. Her eyes slowly shrank to the size of pencil tips, and her mouth was hung open... Then, after a few seconds, Twilight fainted to the floor. Night Light and Velvet looked at her and then at each other. "I think she took it well." Night Light said smiling. Velvet looked at him with an angry look and then punched him right in the hoof. "OW!" Twilight soon regained conciousness, and opened her eyes, with her parents standing above her. "Twilight?" Night Light asked. "Are you alright?" Velvet asked. "Yeah... I'm fine... I'm ok." Twilight said as she got up. "I just passed out for a sec-" but then, she remembered what her mother said before she fainted. "I'm ADOPTED!?" Twilight shouted with confusion, shock, and anger. "Yes." Velvet and Night Light said with guilt. "No... No, that's not possible!" Twilight said. "It Can't Be Possible! Please Tell Me You're Joking!" "We're Not." Night Light and Velvet said. Twilight began circle herself around the room, panicking, just as Night Light and Velvet feared. "But, the birth certificate said that I'm your daughter!" Twilight said. "Actually, we had someone forge a birth certificate so it says that." Night Light said. "What?!" Twilight asked. "Is That even Legal?" "Uuuuhhh..." Night Light said. "Let's just say we kept this under raps for a while... until now." Velvet said. "But I thought I was born in the hospital!" Twilight asked. "Well, you were in a hospital, but we only took you there because you were having a fever." Night Light said. "What?!" Twilight asked. "I Was Almost Dying?!" "Well... just let us explain." Velvet said. "You were not born in a hospital. We actually found you in a box upon our doorstep. It was only 17 years ago..." "Um... 18 years ago." Night Light said, correcting Velvet. "So... somepony just left me on your doorstep?" Twilight asked. "Yes." Night Light said. "We didn't know who brought you." Velvet said. "When we found you, you were crying, and you had a fever." "We took you to the Hospital to see if you were gonna be alright." Night Light said. "Good thing we took you there when we did." Twilight just looked at them, still shocked. "So... You found me in a Cardboard box, abandoned by somepony?" Twilight asked. "Twilight, we were shocked ourselves, but we couldn't just leave you there." Velvet said. "You were so adorable... Besides, we always wanted a daughter, so... that's why we brought you in, and raised you as if you WERE our real daughter." Twilight looked at the window. Lots of thoughts were going through her mind. Sure she understood that the two ponies she thought were her parents brought her in and raised her as part of the family, but deep down she was still angry, because they kept this secret for all her life. "Why did you keep this from me?" Twilight asked. "Twilight, We wanted to tell you the truth." Night Light said. "But Somepony (Velvet gives him the glare, and he hesitates).... I mean, we decided to wait until you were your brother's age... sort of." "Besides, we all know how you usually get stressed out and over-react over something like this and-" Velvet said. "Huh? But I- What?!" Twilight asked. "I Don't Over-react or Get that Stressed Out!" Velvet just gave her the look, a look any parent would give to their child when they say they don't do thing, though they do. Twilight looked at the ground. "Ok, maybe I do get stressed out." "Yeah well, you're not the only one who gets worked up for nothing." Night Light said pointing his hoove at Velvet, who then gave an angry look at her husband. "Well, it's true." "Yeah, that is true, I always get stressed and worked up all the time." Velvet said. Twilight just turned her head from them. "Well look on the bright side, It's not as bad as it seems." Night Light said with a smile, trying to cheer her up. "What Are You Talking About?" Twilight asked facing the two ponies again, with her voice getting louder and angrier. "You Guys Been Lying For the Past 18 Years, And Now You Just Tell Me That I'm Adopted, That I'm Not Your Real Daughter?!" "Ok... maybe it is a tiny bit bad..." Night Light said. "Look, Twilight, you ARE our real daughter, Not Biologically, it just that, you came from somewhere far away from here... most likely far out from Equestria." Velvet said. "Far out from Equestria?" Twilight asked. "Yes, a place that's far from Equestria." Velvet said. "A place which no other pony in Equestria has ever visited before..." "So... I came from a far away land?!" Twilight asked. "So I'm Not Even an Equestrian Pony?!" "Well, that's what we think." Night Light said. "We checked the records to see if there was a pony out there with your blood type and DNA match, but there was no pony in the system, so, we figured that you weren't born here in Equestria... and your family doesn't even live in Equestria..." "So... I came from some place far away?!" Twilight asked. "Yes." Night Light said. "Twilight, we're really sorry we didn't tell you this..." Velvet said. "No!" Twilight said still upset. "Don't even talk to me! I don't know If I could forgive you for lying to me my entire life Mom and Dad- oh I'm sorry, I should just say Night Light and Velvet!" "Twilight!" Night Light and Velvet gasped, as if an spear shot right through their hearts. Twilight turned her head. "I'm Sorry, but..." Twilight said as tears come out of her eyes. "But This Is Too Much To Bare!" She gallops out of the room, pass the doorway, passing Shining Armor and Cadence, who were listening to the whole conversation. "Shining?" Night Light asked. "Uh... we weren't listening." Shining said innocently. "Right, we just came in an-" Cadence said. But the two sighed. "You heard everything?" Velvet asked. "We heard everything." Shining and Cadence said in unison. "So... you told her the truth?" Shining asked. "Yes... but she didn't take it very well." Night Light said. "I knew this was going to happen." Velvet said, but then tears come out of her eyes, and nudges against Night Light, crying. "Well, she was going to know sooner or later." Night Light said. "But not this way..." Velvet said still crying as he husband tries to comfort her. Cadance looked at Shining Armor. "You didn't have anything to do with this did you?" Cadance asked. Shining looked at his wife. "I... I was told about it after I got suspicious of how she came to be." Shining said. "I promised never to speak about it." He lowered his head. "I'm sorry Cadance..." Shining said. Cadance looked at him and sighed, and hugged him, knowing that he gave an oath never to tell... Meanwhile... outside, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Applejack were waiting by the bench in the Town Square. "Man... you don't think Twilight caused that fire do you?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Now Rainbow Dash please, it wasn't her fault." Rarity said. "She and Spike were ambushed by those filthy Diamond Dogs. She did what she had to do in the most difficult situation." "Wow, you got to admit that was pretty cool!" Pinkie Pie said. "How was that cool?" Applejack asked. "Well we all know Twilight is pretty good at magic." Pinkie pie said. "She's so good at it she also learned combat and defense magic. She probably wanted to try out those new magic skills of hers..." "Oh, here comes Twilight now." Fluttershy said, seeing Twilight from afar. Twilight was stomping her hooves on the ground as she walked into town square. She was upset alright... but this kind of upset is way worse, much to her friends' notice. "Just act normal..." Applejack said as the mares nodded. They soon approached Twilight. "How are you doing Sugarcube-?" Applejack asked. "Oh No, I'm Fine!" Twilight said with rage. "I'm FINE! Never Been Better!" "Uh... ok?" Applejack said. "Geez what got you so ticked off now?" Rainbow Dash asked. Twilight turned her head at made an angry look. "Do You Even Start With Me Rainbow!" Twilight said. "I'm Not Really In a Mood!" Whoa... you almost sound like my mom when she's cranky in the morning." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh Yeah, Your Mom, Your MOM!" Twilight said. "You All Are Pretty Lucky to Have Parents, Parents Who Don't Lie To You Throughout Your Entire Life, And THEN SAY THAT YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY THEIR REAL CHILD! ARGH!!!" She was ready to entire Rage Shift Mode once again, as he friends took a few steps back, with some shock in their eyes. But then she began to calm down... What was she doing? What was she saying she thought... She knew better than that, not to let her anger out on everypony she cared about. It wasn't right for her... She just sat down, with some tears coming out of her eyes... Her friends noticed this quickly. They were a tiny bit terrified, though they've seen Twilight get stressed, angry, and sad... But they've never seen her like this before... Fluttershy was the first to step forward, and put her hooves around Twilight, who then hugged her tightly, as the other mares came forward too. "I'm Sorry... I'm Sorry." Twilight said. "It's alright Twilight... It's alright..." Fluttershy said. "You're among friends here...." Soon The two ponies let each other go. "I'm sorry..." Twilight said. "It's not right of me to let my anger out on all of you." "Aw, it's alright Sugarcube." Applejack said. "We know you don't mean any harm toward us." "Yes, I can see that you're still upset about Flash Sentry." Rarity said. "No, it's not that actually..." Twilight said. "Oh... well what is it?" Rarity asked. "Well... have you ever had that kind of feeling that you've been lied to throughout your entire life?" Twilight asked. The ponies looked at her and then at each other. "You mean like somepony promised something to you but aren't really making that promise?" Rainbow Dash asked. "No, she means that you think you're who someponies made you believe you are but then they tell you that you're not?" Pinkie Pie said. "Her parents basically told her something that's made her upset, and she now knows that she's been living a lie her entire life!" Twilight looked at the Pink party pony. "H...how did you know?" Twilight asked. "Uhhhhh... that was just a guess actually." Pinkie Pie said. "Wait, your parents told you something that they kept from you for a long time?" "Yes... but please, don't call them my parents..." Twilight said. "Why not Twilight?" Fluttershy asked. "What did they tell you that made you so upset at them?" Twilight looked at her friends, and then sighed. "Ok... I'll tell you, but it may shock you." Twilight said. "Well, what is it?" Pinkie Pie asked. They waited a few seconds until Twilight said anything... Then she said the words that came out of her mouth. "I'm adopted..." Twilight said. Soon, all five of her friends' jaw dropped open, with the pupils in their eyes shrank ot the size of a pencil tip. "YOU'RE ADOPTED?!" All five of them asked. "Yes..." Twilight said. "Oh My Stars!" Rarity said with a shock. "That Is Just Horrible! Of All The Worst Things That Could Happen, That could possibly be The. Worst. Possible. Thing!" "Awww, I thought she was gonna say she was an egghead." Rainbow Dash said, causing Applejack to punch her in the hoof. "How is that even possible Twilight?" Fluttershy asked. "Didn't you say you were Night Light and Velvet's daughter and that Shining was your brother?" "Yes I did..." Twilight said. "At least I thought I was their daughter. But they now just told me that they only found me in a cardboard box on their doorstep when I was born, left by some pony who probably didn't want me, and that they adopted me the day after they found me. All this time they kept this whole thing from me..." "Oh My... that's very... um... what's the word?" Fluttershy asked. "Shocking? Sad? Terrible?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Let's Not Forget Twisting." Rainbow Dash said. "Girls please." Applejack said. "Well, I must say it does sound a bit sad." Rarity said. "I mean seriously, what kind of a jerk just leaves a foal on their doorstep?" "Probably it was just some helpless teenage mare who got pregnant by accident, and she was so scared she probably didn't want the foal, who was Twilight, and decided to leave her at somepony's doorstep so that some pony couple could take her and love her as if-" Pinkie Pie said. "Um... Pinkie Pie, two words, ok?" Rainbow Dash said. "Shut. Up." "Rainbow Dash that's very rude of you to say that." Pinkie Pie said. "You just don't tell somepony to be quiet-" "No seriously Pinkie, please." Applejack said. "Stop talking." "Why?" Pinkie Pie asked, and then moved her head. "Oh...." The five mares saw Twilight, who was laying her head and hooves on the edge of the seat. She was very sad, from everything that just happened. This was most likely the worst day of her life. Not just because she was dumped by her special somepony, the one who reminded her of the boy she met back at the other world, but mostly because of the truth she was told... Her friends just watched her cry softly some more. Fluttershy approached her and placed her hoof on the alicorn's shoulder. "Twilight..." Fluttershy said. "I Was hoping that everything was going to be fine!" Twilight said. "But now everything's going downhill for me! First I get dumped by my Special Somepony, and Now I just found out that I'm adopted and not from here! I've been living a lie for my entire life... I Can't Take Anymore of This!" "Twilight, don't feel like that." Fluttershy said as she moved toward her and petted her. "Sure, things aren't going well for you, but it will get better somehow." "Fluttershy, I don't think it will..." Twilight said. "I don't think that I'm ever going to get over this." "But Twi-" Fluttershy said. "Please, Just leave me alone..." Twilight said. "I just want to be alone for a while..." Her friends looked at each other, and then sighed. "Ok..." Fluttershy said as she and the other ponies walked away. "If you need us, we'll be at your parents' house." Applejack said. The five ponies then walked away. "Wow... I've never seen Twilight so sad before..." Rainbow Dash said. "Kinda reminds me of that time when she was stressed out about not sending a letter to the Princess." Pinkie Pie said. "But instead of feeling sad, she just went all looney and crazy-" "Pinkie Pie, please, she could hear you back there." Applejack whispered. "My... isn't there anything we can do for her?" Rarity asked. "I just hope she feels better..." Fluttershy said. The five ponies just walked back to the house, as Twilight just laid there, shedding the last of her tears. As the girls headed back, Pinkie Pie turned her head, seeing her still crying... The others turned their heads, seeing Pinkie Pie think. "Wait, what are we even doing?" Pinkie Pie asked. "We can't just leave her like this." "Pinkie what are ya doin'?" Applejack asked. "You know what I'm doing." Pinkie Pie said with her smile. She then headed back to Twilight, with the girls sighing, but smile. "There she goes, doin' her own thing." Rainbow Dash said. Twilight was still crying softly... until-" "Hi Twilight!" A Sock with a pair of googly eyes said appearing toward Twilight's face. "AHH!" Twilight shouted as she fell on her back. She then just sighed. "What are you doing Pinkie Pie?" Twilight asked. "I'm not Pinkie Pie." The sock puppet said, though Pinkie Pie is actually using a sock puppet, and hiding under the seat. "I'm Mr. Wrikkles, Pinkie Pie's Sock puppet friend! Why so glum?" "I Don't Want To Talk About It." Twilight said. "Awww Come On Twilight, tell me." Mr. Wrikkles said. "No." Twilight said as she turned her head away. "Look Twilight, I know that today was going all downhill for you." Mr. Wrikkles said. "But you can't just be miserable and sad all your life. You just got to see the bright things in life. Always know that tomorrow will get better. Now come on.... give me a smile." Twilight didn't respond, which caused Pinkie Pie to come out from below the seat and look at her with a frown. "Man, she's a tough one to bake." Pinkie Pie said and then looked at her sock puppet. "I think you didn't do well this time." "Hey, don't you be givin' me that tone missy." Mr. Wrikkles said. "I'm a trained professional!" "No you're not, you only did this for about a year." Pinkie Pie said. "Come on, you used to be so good at this! Oh, Let's try telling a joke!" "Yes!" Mr. Wrikkles said. "Hey Pinkie Pie, why did the chicken cross the road?" "Dunno." Pinkie Pie said. "To get to the other side!" Mr. Wrikkles said. Pinkie Pie looked at the sock puppet. "That doesn't make sense." Pinkie Pie said. "A chicken can't cross the road to get to the other side." "Yes it is, because you see, chickens have to lay eggs, and when they're trying to get back to the barn, they cross the road to get to the other side of the road to get to the barn and lay those eggs!" Mr. Wrikkles said. "Ohhh... that would make sense..." Pinkie Pie said. The other four mares looked at her making a complete fool of herself... She was definitely doing it on purpose, because not only Pinkie Pie's loves to do and make various types of parties for ponies, but she also loves to make people laugh, and Pinkie Pie never fails at that. But it didn't look like it was working. Rainbow Dash then smiled. "Come on, let's join the fun." Rainbow Dash said as she approached Twilight too. "Hey Twilight." Rainbow Dash said. Twilight turned her head, to see Rainbow Dash begin to make a funny face, pushing her hooves into her cheeks, forming a smile, the same face when she said "So Awesome". "Guys please, I'm not-" Twilight said. "Um will you excuse us for a minute?" Pinkie Pie asked as she pulled Rainbow Dash away from her. "What?" Rainbow Dash asked. "What are you doing?" Pinkie Pie asked as she approached Rainbow Dash. "You know the cheering up thing is suppose to be my thing." "Well I wanna Help ya do so." Rainbow Dash said. Pinkie Pie looked at the pegasus and then at the sock puppet, and then smiled. "Well I suppose I could use some help..." Pinkie Pie said. "Shall we do ...The Trick?" Rainbow Dash asked. Whatever The Trick is, it made Pinkie Pie smile. "Yes!" Pinkie Pie shouted with excitement. "Hey Gals, Need some Help Here!" Rainbow Dash called. Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack galloped to the scene. Twilight had no idea what was going on, since she was too sad to noticed. "What is it?" Rarity asked. "Let's do ...The Trick!" Pinkie Pie whispered. "Oh... you mean-?" Fluttershy asked. "You bet your feathers it does." Rainbow Dash said. "Ok Applejack, remember what to do?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Yep." Applejack said. "Rarity, Pump!" Pinkie Pie called. "Got it right here." Rarity said using her magic to lift a pump, and stick the hose into Pinkie Pie's mouth. "Fluttershy, chicken suit!" Pinkie Pie said. Fluttershy looked around. "Where is it?" Fluttershy asked. "In the suitcase right here!" Pinkie Pie said, pointing to the suitcase next to the sock puppet. "Got it!" Fluttershy said as she opened it, pulling out the chicken suit. "Rainbow Dash, Put It On Me!" Pinkie Pie called. "On It!" Rainbow Dash said as she helped Pinkie Pie put it on. It was the same chicken suit that she wore a couple years ago, and it still fits. "Ok, quick, get on my back!" Pinkie Pie said. Then Rainbow Dash jumped on Pinkie Pie's back. "Grab my hooves girls!" Pinkie Pie called as Fluttershy and Rarity grabbed Pinkie Pie's hooves as Applejack stood in front of Pinkie Pie. Whatever they were doing, will it be able to help cheer up Twilight, who was confused at this? "Start Pumpin'!" Pinkie Pie called with the hose in her mouth. Then Rarity started using her magic to pump the air right into Pinkie Pie's mouth and into her tummy region. Then suddenly, Pinkie Pie's body began to inflate, like a balloon! Then Pinkie Pie's body began to get bigger and rounder every second, until Rainbow Dash called. "That's Enough!" Rainbow Dash called. Soon the hose was removed from the ball shaped Pinkie Pie's mouth. Twilight was confused, but yet shocked. "What... is that?" Twilight asked. "The Inflatable Flying Chicken!" Pinkie Pie called. "Now Applejack!" Then Applejack turned around, and then with her rear hooves, kicked Pinkie Pie, sending her flying all over, with Rainbow Dash commandeering her, zip-zagging across the sky, until she hit the ground. As Pinkie Pie's inflated body hit the ground, she reverted back to her original size and figure, and landed and standing with only two hooves. "TA-DA!" Pinkie Pie called as the other four mares appeared beside her. They looked at Twilight, who didn't respond. She just stood there watching. There was just... silence... The trick... didn't work. The trick always work on the most depressed pony. But this time... it... didn't. This brought a frown onto Pinkie Pie's face, and she lowered her head, and her mane was ready to deflate and drape. But then, there was a sound... a sound of chuckling. Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack looked to see Twilight, who couldn't help but beginning to smile and chuckle... and soon her chuckling turned to a laugh, a happy laugh. She turned over as she laughed, with a smile on her face. Pinkie Pie looked at her with a smile, as her mane reverted back to its funky and puffy shape again, and then she began to laugh too. The other four mares watched too... and soon their were laughing... Soon the laughing died down as Twilight's frown was turned to a smile again. "Oh Pinkie Pie, you sure know how to make a pony smile." Twilight said. Pinkie Pie smiled as she looked at Twilight. "Glad to see you well again." Pinkie Pie said. "I can't believe you did that for me... even after I said to just leave me alone." Twilight said. "Aww come on Twilight." Pinkie Pie said. "We couldn't just let you feel all gloomy and depressy. Besides, that's what friends are for right?" Twilight smiled as she remember. "You're right Pinkie Pie..." Twilight said. "It is a friend's job to always make sure that their friend is ok, and always cheer them up anyway they can. Thank you. All of you." Soon the pink mare hugged Twilight, as she hugged her back. The other four mares approached them. "You feel better now Sugarcube?" Applejack asked. "Yeah... I feel a little bit better..." Twilight said. "But I'm still mad at my parents though... I don't how I'm gonna live with myself now, after everything that's happened..." "Don't worry Twilight... It'll be ok." Fluttershy said. "It's just gonna take some time that's all." "Exactly." Rarity said. "Besides, when stuff like this happened to us, we felt better too." "Just always know that there's a brighter tomorrow." Rainbow Dash said. "That's right." Pinkie Pie said. "You got a whole life ahead, so enjoy it." "Yeah, you're right..." Twilight said. "Thank you guys... you all are truely the best friends a pony can ever have." "Awww, I hear a group hug coming on!" Pinkie Pie called. The six ponies hugged each other with smiles. "C'mon, let's head back to your place Twi." Applejack said. The ponies began heading back, but Twilight just stood there, and looked at the sky. "You comin' Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You girls go on ahead... I'm gonna take a few minutes." Twilight said. "Ok... don't be too long." Rarity said. They soon headed toward Twilight's home, and Twilight just stayed in her position and looked at the sky, noticing the sun going down. Twilight looked at the Castle of Canterlot, seeing Princess Celestia going into the castle, which Luna comes back outside, to raise the moon, so night would come. Twilight began thinking... Since she couldn't talk more about her shocking discovery to her friends, maybe she could tell somepony who she trusts most... somepony who always listened to her when she didn't have anypony else to talk to... Her former teacher Princess Celestia.
