Twilight walked into the surrounding darkness, the sun had almost gone down, she had not realized that she and Zecora had been talking for so long. "Just remember! Do not take haste, or you will be crushed into paste!" Zecora yelled after her "Don't worry! I'll be fine!" Twilight yelled back. Twilight looked down at the compass Zecora had given her, the white needle was pointing back towards Zecora's house, but the red needle wouldn't stop spinning, probably because Twilight's mind couldn't stop spinning. She gave her head a violent shake, her mane whipped into face as she cleared her head and concentrated as hard as she could at what she needed to find. The image of the plant flashed in her mind's eye, but then her mind wandered to the section of the library where she kept the books on every kind of plant imaginable. "No no no, concentrate on the plant, I can find out about it later!" Twilight muttered to herself. Suddenly the red needle stopped spinning and pointed deeper into the forest. "Wait, am I thinking of the plant?". The plant suddenly flashed bright as the sun in her mind's eye. "I guess I am." Twilight sighed "Looks like it's going to be another long night" she muttered, as she delved into the darkness that would soon consume her.
Miles away, in Canterlot, Princess Luna had just woken up to the sound of her alarm clock. She quickly silenced it, and got out of bed. She walked out of her room, and down a long corridor. The hallway opened up into a balcony, where her sister sat, looking through a telescope. "Morning sleepy!" Her sister Princess Celestia laughed. Luna rolled her eyes "You know it's not morning, that joke was funny the first time." Celestia laughed still "Anyways, time to raise the moon." she said. Luna nodded, and slowly began to build up her magical energy. The moon slowly came over the horizon, as the sun vanished from Equstria. Luna turned to Celestia "Goodnight big sister, remember to set your alarm, I don't want to have to wake you up again." Celestia smiled and turned to walk away, but suddenly stopped "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, keep an eye on the Everfree Forest, Twilight Sparkle is in there, I saw her walking into the forest." Luna looked through the telescope for a short second. "Why are you worried sister? Twilight Sparkle is more than capable of handling anything in the Everfree Forest." Celestia paused before she answered "Just... I have a gut feeling that something will happen." Luna looked through the telescope again "Alright sister, I'll keep a look out, goodnight." "Goodnight." And with that, Celestia left towards her bedroom, she was ready for a long sleep. Luna closed the balcony doors "Something must be wrong, my sister usually doesn't go with gut instincts" she muttered to herself as she looked out towards the Everfree Forest
