For Princess Twilight Sparkle, today started out like any other day.

She got up, had a shower, put her regalia on, had breakfast, made a checklist of the day's activities, double-checked the checklist and then sat down with a book - as was her forte - while waiting for her friends to arrive.

But after a while, it became apparent that her friends weren't going to turn up. So, with a sigh, Twilight put her book away and went outside. Taking in a lungful of crisp, fresh air, she pondered where her first stop was going to be.

Author's Notes:

And so begins my newest collaborative story. I'm sorry about all the chapter breaks, but I felt it was the best way to credit everyone who took part.

I hope you enjoy reading this as much as we did writing it.

Warning: Randomness ahead.
