The room consists a bookshelves filled with books, certificates hanging on the walls, and a stallion in a suit sitting on the chair working at the desk in the room. The middle of the room has the insignia plastered on the floor that starts at the door and ends to the front of the desk:
However, the insignia has the the sun and the left side of the symbol are colored in black and white to bring out the moon and right side of the symbol.
"Sir," a mare in a formal dress says, walking into an office, "I've gotten a letter from Canterlot from Ms. Princess Celestria and her sister Luna."
The stallion sitting in the office looks up from the desk. "Really?"
"Yes sir, here's the letter." The mare hands him the letter. "It just arrived a minute ago."
"Thank you Ms. Aurora." The stallion proceeded to open the letter.
"The princesses said they're on their way over now. They recommend that somepony that our hopefully 'soon to be' student knows would be better to help introduce her to the environment."
"I see. Well, shall we be on our way Ms. Aurora?"
Ms. Aurora looks with a confused face. "Me too sir?"
"Yes, I'll have to take you with me. We are the 'Nightowl' office staff and the principle, as well as the secretary of the its respective office must introduce any 'soon to be' students to the school, depending of the time."
"Oh, I didn't know that! We don't usually do this type of stuff."
"Soon. Ms. Aurora," the stallion says while walking to her. "Soon, we'll have to have more of this introduction protocol in the near future."
"You don't mean..."
"Yes," he says reassuring her. "It's time we start expanding our size." The principle starts walking towards the door and holds it open. "Now, let us be on our way, don't want to mess up our first introduction now, do we?"
Ms. Aurora smiles. "No we don't sir. Ooo, this is soooo exciting!!!" she exclaims practically jumping towards the door.

The orb of light that previously sucked in Twilight and Spike appeared again in the middle of some sort of quad area. The orb only appeared for about ten seconds, increasing in size enough to reveal the Twilight on the floor as it diminished to nothing, leaving without a trace. Dazed and confused, Twilight wakes up and observes her surroundings.
"Where am I?" Twilight says to herself. The area around her appears to be made out of stone when she started walking across to observe more of the surroundings. "Why am I here? What did i do to come here?" Just then, Twilight heard a crash near her and jumped with a shriek. "Who's there?" She sees a shadow figure running across from the area she heard the crash, only to see the figure trip and land on the floor a few feet from itself.
"Oww," cried the figure. From the sound of the voice, Twilight assumes the figure is a mare.
"Hello?" Twilight called out, "Who's there?" Not hearing a response, she starts walking towards the figure. She heard some rustling and when she came closer, she was greeted by a spray that went directly to her face. The spray ended up being pepper spray. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! IT'S IN MY EYES!!! WHY IS EVERYTHING SPRAYING ALL TO FACE TODAY!?"
The mare figure tried to make a run for it but collapsed to the ground with a painful cry. "OW! MY TENDON!!!" The darkness that enveloped both mares was emitting two separate painful cries that sounded like the are was haunted.
"MY EYES! WHO WOULD SPRAY PEPPER SPRAY AGAINST ANOTHER PONY?!"
"YOU MADE ME SPRAIN MY SUPERFICIAL DIGITAL FLEXOR TENDON!"
"Oh, don't blame that on me! You're the one who startled me first and brought this pain to me! Just who are you!?"
"I'm not telling you alien!"
"What? What do you mean! Where are you!? I can't see you!"
"Like I would tell you alien! I saw you come onto this planet with that weird teleporting orb of light! I not letting this planet be overrun and destroyed by your own kind! It's too late! I already have my friend coming over to beat you down while we get the security!" Just then, Twilight hear the sound of a door opening and a thump. A mare has jumped from the steps, landing near the mare that sprayed Twilight.
"Misty!" cried the mare that came out of the nearby building. "Are you okay?!"
"NO! The alien made me sprain my superficial digital flexor tendon! Without even lifting a hoof!"
"Don't worry. I brought this bat and I'm not going to let it get away!"
"A bat!?" Twilight thinks to herself. "Oh, she better not do what I think she's about to do!"
"Lavender! NO!" a voice came from the distance. It was too late; Lavender had the bat aim at the side of Twilight's head and swung with her eyes closed.
"Take this!" yelled Lavender. Next came a big impact from the bat against something else. Twilight starts regaining her sight from the spray and looks right in front of her. To her astonishment, the bat didn't hit her head, but something else. In front of her was a stallion that blocked the blow with one of his hooves.
"Lavender," said the stallion out of breath, who was also an earth pony, "what the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Let go! This unicorn here is an alien!"
The stallion looks at Twilight then back at Lavender. "Are you shitting me Lavender? What makes you think this pony here is an alien?"
"She came from an orb of light out of nowhere!" replied Misty, still on the floor.
"So?"
"What type of pony comes from orb of light in the dead of the night?"
"Clearly a unicorn as depicted from this horn that is attached to her head that she was born with," the stallion says pointing at Twilight's horn. "Here," he says handing Twilight a water bottle and a rag, "use this to clean out the spray from your eyes."
"Thanks," replied Twilight.
"Besides," continued Misty, "why aren't you going to get the campus security like we planned?"
"Because I don't believe in your alien shenanigans. Also, you mares almost knocked out a unicorn in the central square with a bloody head and worst case scenario: brain damage!"
"Excuse me Mr. Mystery," called out another voice, "What in the moonlight is going on here? Also, why does Ms. Lavender have a bat?"
"It's a confusing story Mr. Leaf."
"Well now, shall we all go into the visitors' dorm and explain what happened these past few minutes?"
"Come now," said the mare in the suit. "What happened to Ms. Rose?"
"I sprained my tendon..," replied Misty.
"Come along now," Mr. Leaf said to the group, "you all have some explaining to do." The stallion guided all the ponies to the nearby dorm doors and went inside.
"Just what has happened these past few minutes?" Twilight thought to herself as she entered the building.

"And that is what happened," finished the stallion.
"I see," replied Mr. Leaf, "Ms. Aurora."
"Yes?" answered Ms. Aurora.
"Jot down a small note: make a new way for transporting newcomers to the school."
"Yes sir."
"Also, radio in to bring Ms. Rose to the room please." Without hesitation, Moonlight called out for Misty through the radio. A minute later, the door opened with the nurse bringing in Misty in a wheelchair, sitting down.
"Now you need to keep off your feet except when getting on and off your bed for a few days for it to heal Ms. Rose," said the nurse to Misty.
"Okay," replied Misty. The nurse left Misty next to the stallion and Lavender and left the room, closing the door behind her.
"Now then," said Blue Leaf, "it's probably time to explain what has happened to everyone and who I am to this young mare here." Mr. Leaf stands up to face Twilight. "I am Mr. Blue Leaf. I run the 'NightOwl' office with my secretary: Ms. Moonlight Aurora."
"Hello there!" says Moonlight.
"Me, Ms. Aurora, and the rest of the staff in my office section make up the 'NightOwl' offices. We run, as depicted by the name, at the times when the moon rises and sets. The school mainly doesn't sleep for one second but as of this night, most of the ponies scattered to the music festival across town and is also summer vacation. I am the leader of this tour that you all are about to have." Ms. Aurora then whispers into Blue Leaf's ear. He shakes his head in understanding. "Now onto what happened with this young mare here," Blue Leaf says pointing at Twilight. "Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, you may come in."
The doors opened and both princesses came into the door. "Princess Celestia! Princess Luna!" exclaimed Twilight. "What are you two doing here?"
"Its princess Celestia and Luna!" yelled Lavender. Everypony, except for Twilight and Misty, bowed down to the princesses. Misty was having trouble bowing down from her wheelchair and just bowed her head instead.
"It's okay everypony, you may stand now, except you Ms. Rose," said Celestia. Everypony did so. "We are here for you Twilight Sparkle. We felt coming into this new place would be rather shocking to you." Blue Leaf then whispered into both Celestia's and Luna's ears for about a minute. "Oh," Celestia said surprised. "I see this was a surprise to you all. Well now, some explaining to do." Both Celestia and Luna then sits on a couch, still facing the group.
"First, the book. Unlike you, the other ponies here came on a bus. However, we didn't want to send you on a long trip to a place you never been to. The stress and anxiety can really get to some ponies."
"Also we saved some money on transportation this way," commented Blue Leaf.
"The book," continued Celestia, "was a magical book that would teleport certain ponies that came into contact with the potion that was enclosed in a bottle that came with it. Then, when the book was soaked with the contents of it, it would react with it, emitting a bright light and teleporting the ponies to a certain location."
"Wait a minute," interrupted Twilight, "Where's Spike then? He didn't come with me!"
"He did," replied Luna, "He was also the 'certain pony' or in this case dragon that was teleported to a certain location. Don't worry. We took care of that first before coming here."
"Where is he?" asked Twilight.
"He's in the school's bakery. We gave him the title of a special guest to the bakers at the place. They'll serve him anything he wants and we'll pay for it."
"We also order some crystals on the side for him so the jewelry stores here don't freak out about a dragon eating all their crystals," commented Moonlight.
"What about the book? What happened to it?" asked Twilight.
"Right here," replied Luna, handing the book to Twilight. "You forget to pick it up when you were teleported."
"Now," continued Celestia after Luna, "why you are here Twilight." She looks at Twilight. "You're here because we thought you could live here for a couple of years or so studying other subjects, especially magic in your case, and spread the magic of friendship to a large area."
"Wait," interrupted Twilight again, "what about my friends back home?"
"We'll tell them you are on a special assignment about spreading the magic of friendship to other places," replied Luna, "Which is entirely not all a lie. We don't want them to be jealous of you because that's one thing that can ruin friendships, no matter how strong they are. Plus, we will also send them on special assignments as well according to their talents."
"Also," Celestia continued, "testing your distance when some of you part away for a while is a great test on friendships in the long-run. Passing this sort of test will show that your friendship can last a while and almost nothing can break it. Now we hope that you will consider it for you can continue your studies as a regular unicorn and the magic of friendship."
"Um, excuse me princess Celestia," Blue Leaf called out, "the 'NightOwl' tour is about to begin and I need to round up the rest of the group."
"Of course Mr. Leaf. We must go now Twilight. If anypony sees us with you, they'll see you as an important figure and will bombard you all day and everyday."
"And we don't want that to happen. All of these 'fake' friendships," added Luna.
"We gave special procedures to Mr. Leaf and Ms. Aurora for sending you back home. We hope all you ponies have a fun time here and hope to see you this coming semester." Then both Celestia and Luna went out of the door, closing it behind them.
"Now then," Blue Leaf said, "Ms. Aurora can you bring out the rest of the group to the lobby while I bring this group with me?"
"Yes sir," answered Moonlight, standing up and walking out the door.
"Now, follow me to the lobby!" Everypony stood up and started walking outside the room. Twilight also brought her book before she forgot it.
"Shall leave this whole incident behind and start over as friends?" asked the stallion to everypony including Twilight pushing Misty's wheelchair.
"Yeah," grumbled Misty.
"Sure," replied both Twilight and Lavender. They both looked at each other and laughed at the coincidence.
"Oh, I have a good feeling we all with become good friends for the next few years," said Blue Leaf.
"So," said the stallion, while waiting in the lobby. "I think we should introduce ourselves. I'm Ivory Mystery, but you can call me Ivy, it sounds like a girl's name, I know." Twilight giggled. "This here is who almost gave you brain damage and a concussion: Lavender," he said pointing at Lavender.
"Hi! Sorry about that. Are we friends?" asked Lavender.
"Sure, the more friends the better," replied Twilight.
"And this pony," Ivy said pointing at Misty, "who sprayed you in the eyes with pepper spray and somehow sprained her tendon is Misty Rose."
"Sorry about that," said Misty. "I thought-"
"It's okay," Twilight interrupted. "I forgive you and yes, we can also be friends."
"Yay!" cried Misty.
"And that is about it," finished Ivy. Just then the rest of the group started coming into the lobby lead by Moonlight. After everypony was here, Blue Leaf called the attention for everypony in the lobby.
"Attention guests! My name is Mr. Blue Leaf and this here is my secretary, Ms. Moonlight Aurora!"
"Hello there you all!" said Moonlight.
"We work at the 'NightOwl' office and we are you guides to the tour of the campus tonight!" The whole group gave a 'whoo' that echoed the dorms. "Now now, calm your excitement for now, we still have students sleeping in at this hour and we don't want to wake them up. At around this time, the students that going to night classes in the summer is about to attend and leave their classes. This is a perfect time to start tour! Now, follow me to the small quad!"
With some new friends and an energetic group, this is when Twilight realized this was going to be an interesting day. Or night in this case.
