	"Okay. We're here now." I said. "Where did I put that book?"
"I sure wouldn't know." Starlight said.
I nodded as I continued to search. "Well, you weren't there when I did something with it, so that makes sense." I said.
I was having a hard time understanding why I was so unorganized lately. I did have a booksort-cation not too long ago, and my library was already a mess.
"Do you want any help with this? I could help you look for it if you wanted." Starlight asked.
"Yeah, sure." I said.
I kept using my hooves to dig through the books. But then I realized I do have a horn. And then I facehoofed.
"Twilight? Is something wrong?" I heard Starlight ask.
"No." I said.
I kept trying to dig through the books with my hooves, but then I remembered that I do have a magical horn. Then I facehoofed.
"Twilight, are you alright?" Starlight asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I said.
"You don't sound fine." She said.
"I just can't find this book I need. It's like it disappeared from existence!" I said.
"I'm sure it's around here somewhere. I'll keep looking if you will." She said.
"I'm not gonna stop." I started. "My finding this book is crucial."
"Crucial? Like how?" Starlight asked.
I sighed. "I... I can't explain it until I find the book. It had all the answers!"
I wasn't looking at Starlight anymore, but if I were, she probably would have looked confused. And I probably would have too, if I was in her shoes, and had a Alicorn digging in a pile of books in front of me.
"What... Oh! I found it!" I said.
"You did?" Starlight asked.
I nodded. "Yep!"
I then got out of the book pile and sat down on the floor, all the while not letting the book out of my sight.
Starlight was still standing there. "Do you mind if I sit next to you?" She asked.
"Sure, go ahead." I said.
Then we both started reading.
Ancient Equestrian History.
Chapter One.
The night of-
"I read through this already Starlight, and that has nothing to do with what we saw." I said, as I turned back to the book to find the right page.
"There!" I said, pointing at the page with my hoof.
Chapter thirty-eight
When the magic got a mind of it's own.
500 years ago, when Equestria was very young, the magic started going out of control. There wasn't a cause discovered for it, but a solution was found.
One unicorn, and one unicorn only, was able to get the magic back on track. This unicorn has to have an immense amount of power in order for the spell, which can be found below, to work.
"Does that mean something?" Starlight asked.
"It means that somepony can stop this. I don't know any unicorn with lots of magic, not including myself even though I was born a unicorn. But the book did say unicorn, so I couldn't do it." I said.
"Wait... could I see that spell real quick?" She asked.
I had no idea what she was thinking, but I still gave her the book.
"It's worth a try." She said.
And then her horn started to glow.
I literally can't believe that anything like this is even possible. I mean, a few days ago I was completely oblivious, and then I find a book about it and it's all I think about.
"Twilight?" Starlight asked. "I did the spell and nothing happened."
"Really? Nothing?" I asked.
"Nope. Not unless there's some strange unforeseen circumstances that I don't know about yet." She said.
"Well, there might be. But the only way we could know for sure is if we go back to the hole and check if it was still there." I said.
"Okay." Starlight said. "Let's go."
-----------------------
"I'm still having a hard time understandin' what she meant." I said.
"It's not that hard to comprehend, Applejack." Rarity said.
"It is for me." I said.
"Listen closely." Rarity started. "Twilight thinks we're doubting her. But we aren't. And she doesn't know that." She said.
"Well I already knew that part. But I don't understand why." I said.
"I'll explain it later." Fluttershy said.
"That still doesn't make things any better." Rarity said. "Twilight is probably still upset with us."
"She never said that, silly!" Pinkie Pie said.
"No, but she implied it. With her actions. And actions speak much louder than words ever could." Rarity said.
"Well, what can we do?" Fluttershy asked.
"There's only one thing we can do, Fluttershy." Rarity said. "We have to make it up to her. Somehow."
"Are ya sure we need to?" I asked.
"I have an idea!" Pinkie said.
"Tell us, darling." Rarity said.
Pinkie nodded. "Alright! This is what we need to do..."
---------------------
"It should be here." I said. I knew that Twilight didn't need me to tell her where the hole was.
And unfortunately, the hole was still there.
"It didn't work." I said.
"That's okay... we can just find some other-" Twilight said, but she stopped mid sentence.
"Some other what?" I asked.
"Starlight... Your horn..." She said.
"What about my horn?" I asked.
"It's glowing!" She said.
I looked up at my horn, and sure enough, she was right. It was glowing, but I wasn't focusing on using it. "This isn't right..." I said.
"What do you mean "not right?" You are making it do that right?" Twilight asked.
I shook my head. "No. It's like it's doing this all on it's own!"
"We definitely need some help." Twilight said.
"But who can help with this?" I asked.
"I only know one pony who can possibly help out." She said. "But we're going to have to take a trip to Canterlot."
