Twilight Sparkle and her friends are going to stop Nightmare Moon. They face her and the Mare of the Night explains to Twilight many things previously unknown to her about her mentor and friends. Why does she keep sending them? Why do her friends follow her around? After the encounter, Twilight's view on the Solar princess and her friends change. For the worse.

It's a good feeling, isn't it?
The story's good, but the cover art could use some work. I suggest asking the good people on Deviantart.
1765159 Almost as good a feeling as finding this:

I think I've found this weeks' desktop background.
1765213 Open image in a new tab to get super-resolution. 4200x2363 to be precise. Click "Stretch" to make it fit.
I can't believe I'm doing this but MOAR!! really I already know what's going on. so can you just continue this its really good.

As ChewyJiggles stated, seems like I have found yet another great wallpaper.
Yeah, I gotta get a new cover for this story xD
Thank you guys for the reviews! The next chapter will come tomorrow (or maybe today early if I could finish it )
Wait a minuite...I could have sworn I just read this story on fanfiction....screw it, I don't have a account on there so... fav!
1765704
Ula Star, possibly because I have it published there
It even says so on my profile as it links to fanfiction.net.
But thanks for favoriting! Gladly appreciate it
more more more plz
more more more plz
Hooray! Update!
Remain a Pony!
..or a strange kind of changeling that needs to feed on magic to keep her own reserves going.
A corrupted twilight isn't likely to get may sources of love.
Turn into a changeling, but hide it from her friends somehow. Her friends might use their love for Twilight to defeat her, but if they don't know that then it is ok :3
If she had to fly around with wings, Twilight could pretend she cast a spell that gave her wings to fool her friends :D
Changeling Twilight is best Twilight! So I'd go with that
Become a changeling! Changelings = best race in the world where Equestria is!
Is the "other friend" Discord? Or Sombra? Or Both?

Heh, guess you'll have to find out who it is later in the story. But good guess! It's one of them
King Sombrero for the win!
Also, neat chapter. Would have been just a teensy bit better if Chrysalis had an 'Igor' Changeling to go with the whole scientist thing
Discord...I should have known. Gotta love him.
Yay a love interest! How.. interesting
Discord.
i think we need a Trixie or Zecora in this story... dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Trixie_lolface_2.png

Actually, I am planning to have them appear in this story later on!
interesting...will it rain from cotton candy clouds? that would certainly be an interesting plot twist
also "And she possess the magical one too!" is probably supposed to be "And she possesses the magical one too!"
1793254
that should be quite interesting...

Thanks for pointing that out! I'll fix it, and yep, it will be interesting

I love this story.
DUN DUN DUUUUUUN
UH OH
I DEMAND MOAR!!!!!!!
1872819
Haha Satyr, do not fear, as I am planning on posting another good one tomorrow. Thanks for following
1872865 Your welcome
eh
this looked promising
but
your writing style just doesn't work for me
sorry
i'm not going to vote up or down
because it's good, but i personally don't like it
1878985
Well, everyone is entitled to their opinions. Thanks for reading some of it, and sorry if my writing style didn't fit your requirements.
This story is good, but I get lost with your "time-space" perception. Maybe you can put how much time has passed between episodes...?
Wait a second...
I thought these events took place right after Season 1 Episode 1?
Now we reference the magic Trixie used in Season 3?
Ok, to clarify, where are we in the timeline?
1957079
The seasons gradually advanced without Twilight, so it is now after Season 3.
The first chapter started at Season 1, but now it is past Season 3. Hope it cleared things up.
What I don't get is that Trixie's return was for revenge on Twilight, who inadvertently humiliated Trixie with the whole Ursa Minor display. In thia AU, without Twilight's actions Trixie really had no reason to seek out the Alicorn Amulet and do what she did.
1960449
Actually, the plotine of the entire ponyverse was directly altered with this story.
Trixie DID come to Ponyville to show off her skills, and she DID bring an Ursa Minor to terrorize everypony. But all of the remaining elements combined together and kicked it out. They also embarrassed her too.
Same thing for the Magic Duel, except without Twilight, Trixie had free reign over Ponyville. That is, until she was put down by the elements, who received assistance from Zecora.
1960851 Oh, my bad. If that was mentioned before, then I probably forgot that (sorry about that). If it wasn't, then that would make sense.
1963756
Its ok. I didn't mention it on the first chapter, so I will put it in the first chapter as a notice :)
I am going to continue reading for the story content, changeling Twilight and allied with Nightmare Moon is rare for either option and virtually non existent together, but the first few chapters really doesn't sell it.
You don't have an alternate universe tag so the very beginning is very confusing and awkward. You make it sound like everything that happens in the show happens except the first two episodes. The mane 6 somehow get the elements and group together as friends without the NM sub plot.
Whatever happens to Twilight is very unclear as well. She is told by NM that Celestia's using her as a pawn and immediately believes it, or is being brainwashed by Luna. It is just too jarring and sudden, makes no sense. Twilight is too opinionated and grounded in logic to cave in so quickly without very good reasons and proof being brought forth.
I'm hoping you improved for later chapters and just let all that languish in the past focusing on the story's future instead now.

Thank you for the criticism! I'll address them right away.
Yes, many people told me Twilight caved in too easily at the beginning. I will edit the chapter and change that.
Also, I have explained beforehand that the story continues without Twilight, so life in Ponyville went normally..that is, until they found out the news when Celestia called them.
I'll fix it up as much as I can, thank you for the comment!
Twily is waaaay too treacherous. Betraying her leaders on BOTH sides?

Oh, Twilight can be a double agent when she wants to. She has a couple of tricks up her sleeves...er, I mean hooves.
Remember how intelligent she is? Twily has something cooked up.
Awesome as always but what took you so long?
2002285
I understood the part that life in ponyville was more or less the same without twilight. The part I am referring to is that the only reason the mane 6 are so close as friends and have the elements of harmony are because of Twilight and the Nightmare Moon confrontation at the very beginning. So I am questioning how this story starts them off with the elements and making references that they have already been together a long time BEFORE the NM meeting.
