Princess Twilight Sparkle woke up with her heart beating very quickly and her stomach was filled with butterflies. She did not feel very well at all.

"Uhhh, what happened?" She asked herself in a dazed voice.

She remembered seeing something, but she couldn't quite remember. Her memory was blurred and she couldn't think straight. And now the Princess was beginning to get a bit of a headache. Suddenly she heard a knock on her door.

"Um, come in!" Twilight called.

The door opened and Queen Luna came walking in, she had a slight frown on her face.

"Good morning Twilight, I trust you slept well?"

"Um..... sort of....." Twilight responded.

Luna turned towards the window, Twilight did as well. The sky was very dark, it didn't look like storm clouds and it wasn't the middle of the night either. The sky was a dark grey color, despite the fact that it was past sunrise.

"What's happening? What happened to the sky?" Twilight Sparkle asked in confusion.

Queen Luna shook her head. "We are not sure, but Celestia has requested that you join her and your friends with us in the Library."

The Princess nodded. "Of course Aunt Luna, I'll go right now."

The Queen nodded and led her niece out of her room, they both traveled through the hall and down the first set of stairs. Twilight looked at the grandfather clock, the time was nine thirty. She had overslept! Twilight began to pick up the pace, Luna followed behind. When they came to a room with two large wooden oak doors they stepped inside to see Queen Celestia, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie.

"Oh thank goodness your here Twilight darling! Everything is going insane!" Rarity cried dramatically.

"I'll say! Nothing makes sense!" Rainbow Dash added.

Queen Celestia beckoned her daughter to come closer. "Twilight dear, are you feeling alright? You slept awfully late."

The Princess nodded, "Yes Mother I'm fine, I just had a strange dream. But it's nothing to worry about I don't remember much about it anyway."

Celestia gave her a gentle smile a gently touched a small cushion for Twilight to sit on. The young Alicorn walked over towards her mother and sat down. Using her magic the Queen levitated a crystal coated tea pot with a long spout.

"Would you care for some tea Twilight?" Celestia asked.

Twilight nodded in reply. "Yes please, I could use some tea right now."

Celestia poured the hot liquid into a tiny crystal tea cup, and placed it on a saucer embroided in lace. She put a sugar cube inside. Just the way Twilight liked it. The young Princess added some honey into her tea before gently pouring the substance into her mouth. It had such a sweet and bland taste it calmed her nerves.

"What do ya reckon we do yer Majesty?" Applejack asked.

Celestia smiled, as she let everypony get comfortable. Then she cleared her throat and began to speak.

"Before ponies fears get to out of control I suggest Luna, Twilight and myself combine our magic and find a way to push some of the darkness back. That way we will at least be able to see, while we are doing that do you thing the rest of you could look for anything that would lead to the sorce of this magic?"

"Sure thing! It'll be fun!" Pinkie Pie said with a grin.

"I suppose we could try....." Fluttershy quietly remarked.

"Yee haw! Alright, let's do this!" Said Applejack.

"I'm in!" Rainbow added.

"I agree, we can do this! Thank you for your wisdom Queen Celestia." Rarity replied.

The Queen nodded, and so her daughter and her sister were both guided out to the window. Celestia flared her wings open. Twilight Sparkle and Luna did the same, they put their horns together and their eyes began to glow.

Discord was watching the whole meeting unfold with the Queens, the Princess and her friends. Such a naive little pony she was, and he enjoyed it. He watched as the three Alicorns combined their power. Discord chuckled to himself. No matter how much power they had it would not be enough to remove the spell he had ordered Moonlight to put over the whole kingdom.

"Foolish little ponies, when will they learn?"

He turned around to see Moonlight Chaos standing behind him.

"What are you doing in here?" He asked.

"I'm sorry if I was interrupting, I just wanted to know if you needed anything." Moonlight said in a concerned voice.

Discord shook his head in response. "No, I don't need anything right now, you may leave."

He turned back to watch the Alicorns fly up towards the sky. They combined all of their power and sent a large lavender beam of light at the sky, creating many large flashes of lightning towards them. They all flew away in surprise, except for Celestia she had stayed to make sure Twilight and Luna had gotten to safety. A large lightning bolt was beginning to form, Twilight rushed towards her mother and pulled her away just before the bolt hit her. The sky went back to it's grey state, the spell had done nothing. Discord turned towards Moonlight with a shocked look on his face. He walked towards her.

"Did I please you Master?" Moonlight asked.

Discord put his paw under her chin and smiled wickedly.

"Yes my dear, you have pleased me. You have done very well...."

He turned towards the glowing orb. "But that meddling Celestia, we need to take care of her....... permanently......"

Moonlight narrowed her eyes. "What do you need me to do?"

Discord leaned close to her and told her the next part of his plan, by the time he finished Moonlight Chaos knew exactly what to do.

The three Alicorns rushed into the castle almost out of breath. The spell had done nothing, and Celestia had almost gotten seriously hurt. Twilight's friends looked them in shock.

"Oh goodness! Are you all alright?" Fluttershy asked with worry.

The five ponies ran towards them and tried to help them, Rarity and Fluttershy helped Queen Luna, Rainbow Dash and Applejack assisted Queen Celestia, and Pinkie Pie aided Twilight.

"What happened out there?" Rainbow asked.

Queen Celestia sighed. "I'm not sure, the spell didn't work. This doesn't make sense, it has to be some kind of magic. The only question is who's controlling it and where are they?"

The three Alicorns looked out the window along with the five friends, staring out across the Sun Kingdom.

After searching through the books in the libraries all day, everypony was exhausted and they were all sick of looking in book after book only to find nothing. Luna was the first to notice this and she turned to her sister.

"Celestia, I think it would be best if we all got some rest. We have spent all day searching and have found nothing. Let us rest to regain more strength."

The Sun Queen nodded in agreement. "Yes my little ponies, you may go to your rooms and get some sleep. I will continue searching for a little while longer."

Everyone sighed in relief and walked out of the library to get some well deserved rest. As Rarity walked into her room she noticed Twilight had a worried look on her face.

"Twilight dear, are you alright?"

The Princess shook her head and tried to regain her senses.

"Hmmm? Oh I'm fine Rarity really. You don't need to worry about me."

The white Unicorn still looked concern but went into her room and shut her door anyway. Twilight was growing a little concerned, as she crawled into be her mind was flooded with questions. First the dream and now this? What was next? Next Chapter: The Sun Falls Estimated time remaining: 55 Minutes
