   Celestia and Luna sat together on the throne room like they had since the Elements of Harmony freed Luna. The sat in silence, just waiting for the time came to lower the sun, and raise the Moon. Luna was the first to speak.

"Sister, I can tell you are thinking the same as me. And it has troubled your sleep bringing nightmares. Why do you fear it?  It is just a foals tale."  

"Luna, you know me to well." Sighing, she continues. "I don't know why. It feels so real. I know the same goes for you as well Luna. I know it feels real to you as well."

Luna looks down sadly. "It is like a beautiful cloud. It floats there, just out of reach. It is as though it holds all the answers to the world."

As soon as she finished speaking, a guard comes in to alert them of the time change. Their horns begin to glow, and the sun lowers, allowing the Moon to rise. In unison, the sisters speak, "Sleep my little ponies. May your dreams be pleasant."

"Luna, I am off to sleep now, hopefully a restful one for once. Good night sister"

"Good night to you as well my sister."



Off in ponyville, the ponies have closed their businesses and have gone home. In the case of six ponies, they all prepared for bed at their homes.

"Time for bed Spike. We have to be up early tomorrow for the pet play date tomorrow." 

"Come on Twilight, can I please finish my comic book? Please?"

"Fine, but off to bed right after Mister. I want you ready for once." Twilight says as she climbs the stairs to her room. Out of the corner of her eye, she catches a glimpse of a small white rabbit. Sh spins and looks where she saw it, but finds nothing. "Must be more tired than I thought." Laying down, she closes her eyes and falls asleep. The baby dragon soon passes out on the floor, being too tired to finish reading. 


Rainbow Dash may not seem like it with all her naps that she takes, but she is exhausted from the says events. "Hey Tank." She says as she reaches her room, the pet tortoise just staring at her blankly."Tired too, huh buddy? Can't say I blame you. Tomorrow is gonna be awesome though. You get to hang out with all the other pets and do whatever you want." Yawning loudly, she plops onto her bed, seeing a small white rabbit run past, a chain hanging from what looked like a suit. Sitting up, she rubs her eyes, looking again to see nothing. "Wow, I really must be tired." She is soon asleep, snoring loud enough that a pony beneath her cloud house might believe a thunderstorm was on it's way.


On the Apple farm, it's a usual night after a hard days work. Big Mac and Applejack had just finished their evening chores as Apple Bloom comes running in. "Off to bed little sister. You can continue your crusades tomorrow." Looking at Apple Bloom when she didn't respond, she sees her sleeping while standing up. "Lookat that Big Mac, all tuckered out. ah'll put 'er in bed, then ah'll be heading to sleep as well." 

A "Eeyup" was all Big Mac said as he headed outside to the barn basement where he kept his special cider. 

Laying Apple Bloom down, seems to hear somepony saying, "I'm late, Very very late for an important date." Turning quickly she, just barely catches right of a white rabbit before it crawls into a small mouse hole. "Damn varmints, always as  running around. And Apple Bloom talking in her sleep? That must be what ah heard." Heading to her own room, she is soon fast asleep. 

Fluttershy was busy looking for her precious pet rabbit when she finally gave up, knowing he was inside the house as hard saw a glimpse of him a few minutes before. "I hope he will be okay down here for the night. Good night my lovelies." She turns and heads to her bed, soon passing out.


Rarity had been stressed out for a dress she was making for Octavia for a special show. "It must be perfect. This show is for some Very important ponies, and when they ask ask where she got her dress, they will finally come to me for my absolutely fabulous dresses." After having tucked in her sister, she fell asleep while working on her dress again, a common occurrence lately. Just as her eyes closed, she saw opalescent chasing what looked like a small white rabbit.

Pinkie Pie was the last to fall asleep. Her Pinkie sense kept going off and telling her something strange would happen soon. Tne white rabbit she found mixed in with her candy flavored roller skates wasn't what she was looking for, but here sense was telling her that it wasn't an immediate threat and was most likely benign. "Oh well I guess. Got to get some sleep for the super fun play date we have tomorrow, don't we Gummy?" Jumping into her party cannon, she launches herself into her bed, falling asleep immediately with snores that sound like laughter.

In the dark of the night, a Mirror opened for the first time in over a thousand years, a swirl of chaotic magic being released that makes even Discord feel uncertain. This Mirror, known as the Looking Glass, was once a powerful relic, but had become dead. That is, until it was again needed and a new Alice had to be found.

Six ponies, seven paths. One will save everypony.......
