One odd encounter

The unknown chapter 3: Twilight's dream

Far away, Hay Flower watched as Twilight got into bed and quickly fell asleep. "Good night, Twilight. How about I provide some dreams JUST FOR YOU! I don't hear a no …"
With a wave of her horn, a wispy blue line of smoke traveled in through the castle and absorbed into Twilight's mind.

"Hello? Where am I?" Twilight was floating through a space like area. Everything was black.

"Twi-light … Help…" A voice said.

"Rainbow Dash? Where are you? Pinkie Pie?" Slowly, all her friends came into view. They looked very old.

"What happened to you all?"

Shining Armor was there. Then lighting struck. Twilight saw 7 graves. Then, her wings disappeared.

"NO! Hay Flower said it would work … But they're gone!"

"True-but I wasn't lying. Look. Your wings are gone."

Twilight turned to see Hay Flower there. "They were supposed to be gone BEFORE this happened!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed.

Hay Flower shook her head. "Were they? Because I seem to recall telling you WHAT would happen, not WHEN."

"And now …" Twilight said. "I didn't get to spend anytime with them at all, because I was cooped up in this castle!"

Hay Flower mocked sympathy. "Aww …do you need a hug?"

Twilight pushed her away. "Not from you!" She snarled. "I'm finding mom and dad!"

Hay Flower stopped her. "If somepony as young as your friends died, do you really think your PARENTS made it?" She let it sink in.

Twilight slammed herself onto the floor and sobbed.

Hay Flower, however, smiled. "I've done what I needed to do." She whispered. "Sweet dreams, princess. Sweet dreams." She flashed away, leaving Twilight sobbing, when she realized she was completely alone.
