...For what is chaos without frenzy?

Or frenzy without chaos?

Twilight Sparkle opened her eyes and stared blearily at the room in front of her. That dream again...

Walking down the stairs she paused as she stood upon where the statue's shadow should have been. Instead there was just a beam of light, thrown through the window by the hot summer sun.

Twilight had faced many a debate on whether or not to move the statue, some finding it unsettling or out of place. Over and over the unicorn had fought for it to stay, both as a reminder to all of what had happened and to keep Pinkie Pie in the place she called home. Only recently had Twilight found herself convinced by Celestia that Panic was best moved to the gardens of Canterlot, lest the draconequus return decidedly pent up and bored after her long imprisonment... Celestia had further reassured Twilight that, when the solution was found, she'd gladly have the necessary preparations made but until then... Until then...

The unicorn was thankful to have her concentration broken by a knock at the door.

Signing for the two crates she took them inside and tore them apart. Books and parchment... Strange Pony Illnesses (revised sixth edition), Unusual Pony Tales From Equestria, the original notes of the fifth Unicorn Queen, old explorers' manuals... Celestia must have really pulled some strings to get these here for her. Summoning her note-taking scrolls Twilight set about going through them.

...More of how harmony needs disharmony, more on how unbalance is needed for change, followed by yet more politically-charged speculation on the effects of strong magic on foals, of mythical curses, general victim blaming... Twilight sighed, eventually putting down her quill. She'd read this all before... Writing a concise thank you note she quickly repackaged the books and scrolls. She'd send them back to Canterlot later... What day was it? No doubt later in the month than she thought, her friends would be worried... Tomorrow. She could go see one or two of them tomorrow, when she went to have the crates returned. As for today...

Twilight turned upon her library, the piles of books dedicated to spell theory shooting towards her as she approached the blackboard. It wouldn't be long now... If nopony had found a spell to reverse or tame draconequus then she would be the first to create one.

It didn't matter where the statue was, it didn't matter how busy her life became, and it didn't matter how long ago that horrific night seemed; Pinkie was waiting for her and Twilight would never give up.
