This is the story of a mare named Twilight Sparkle.

Twilight worked for a local library in a small town where she was Celestia’s prize student. Celestia’s prize student’s job was simple: she studied friendship in the library, and she learned about its magic. She would visit her friends outside the library, hang out with them, write letters about her experiences, and send them to Celestia. This is what Celestia’s student did every day of every month, every year, and so on. And although others might have considered it silly, Twilight relished every moment that her friends came in, as though as she had had no social life before this time. And Twilight was happy.

And then one day, something peculiar happened. Something that would forever change Twilight. Something she would never forget. She had been going over her daily checklist for  hours when she realized that nopony had arrived to come and visit. Nopony had showed up to ask about a solution to a problem, form a party, or even say hello. Never in all her years at the library had this happened – this complete isolation. Something was clearly wrong. Shocked, frozen solid, Twilight found herself unable to move for what seemed eternity. But as she came to her wits and regained her senses, she got up from her desk and stepped out of her room.

All her friends were gone. What could this mean? Could somepony or something have done something to them? Twilight decided to take a look around, perhaps Spike had gotten some sort of a memo.

When she reached two sets of doors, she took the one on her left.
