Chapter 6.5: The Sun Rises Too Quickly
Something was wrong. In the blind spot of her mind’s eye, something happened that wasn’t supposed to. She had to investigate. She had her duties to attend to first, however.
And so the sun rose.
A new day started in Canterlot and all of Equestria. She would do everything to make sure those days would continue. In a flash, Princess Celestia was in the Canterlot Archives, the Starswirl the Bearded wing. Just a quick check… what was was Twilight doing here?! If Twilight found it… Well, she wasn’t here looking for it or anything. Just say hello and act as if nothing is out of the ordinary,
“Good morning, Twilight, love the new hairstyle. Well, happy Tuesday!”
Happy Tuesday? Applejack would have made a better actress. But Twilight didn’t seem to notice. Nopony did. Huh. Nopony knew why she was there.
Why was she there? This wasn’t good. She was there for a reason and she couldn’t remember why. She would swear Discord was behind this if he weren’t a statue. She could remember when she didn’t have her cutie mark yet, so why couldn’t she remember… what wasn’t she remembering?
She would have to investigate.
So we start this chapter off with Princess Celestia sensing something wrong before raising the sun as per normal. She then goes quickly to the Starswirl the Bearded wing of the library to find...Twilight? Wait...so this is a flashback to the day Twilight "broke" into the library?
I remember that line, and honestly back then I didn't think much of it. But now I see that she may well have been hiding something... I've said this before many a time in previous reviews of other stories, and I'll say it again: Hasbro! Give us a couple of prologue episodes! We need to know the history of the Princesses!!! (pointless rant notwithstanding...)
...Wow...that was pretty short...we close off with...
Uh.........you forgot why you came to the most important section of the Canterlot Royal Library? Okay, either she's getting old or there's some dark magic at play here...
Okay, I know you said in your description of this story that the .5 chapters are just there for the heck of it, but this actually seems to be a plot-relevant point! Celestia sensed something was up and went to the library to find out, but next thing she knows her memory has been modified to forget why she came there. Something's up here; that's for sure...
