"I think I'll start with the book on solar history. Maybe it has something about solar anomalies."

Twilight walked to the history section of her castle's library. She looked carefully across her alphabetically-organized history books, of which every alphabetical letter was organized by its historical relevance.

Twilight looked worriedly at Starlight, who returned a glance in the form of concern. "What is it, Twilight?"

"Right now, the sun may be trying to kill us all."

Starlight gasped in shock, "Well, what should we do?"

"I don't know how it was fixed last time, but maybe a spell was used to combat the sun."

"I don't know how it was fixed last time. This could be well beyond us. I need to go see Princess Celestia at once."
