There's— there's a horrible cloud of smoke. It's headed this way and—" Fluttershy shrieked as Rainbow Dash moved in beside her. Rainbow stopped her bouncing when she looked where Fluttershy was pointing. "There is a huge black cloud! Hold on, I'll get—" Rainbow turned to leave, but then froze, blinking. "...Twilight?" "Listen up! Smoke is spreading over all of Equestria." All the ponies around gasped at Twilight's pronouncement. "But don't worry, I've just received a letter from Princess Celestia informing me that it is not coming from a fire." Fluttershy sighed. "Oh thank goodness." "It's coming from a dragon." The crowd gasped again. Twilight smiled, doing her best to reassure them. "Don't worry, though. I'll take care of it. Just keep calm, everypony." With that, she vanished in a blink of violet light. She reappeared in front of the dragon's cave. "Okay, big boy." She walked inside. "Time for you to go." Inside the dragon slept peacefully, firmly ensconced on his mountain of gold. A tiny bit of strain actually entered Twilight's face as she prepared a massive teleport spell. A moment later, the dragon vanished in an enormous flash, safely sent off to the dragon wastelands where he belonged. "Phew, that was a big one." Twilight wiped a little sweat off her brow, then looked at the golden hoard. "Now... what to do with all this?" She smiled to herself. "It would be a shame to just leave it sitting around, and the library could use some extra funds for renovations."
