Disclaimer: I don't own My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Fives were were gathered at Carousel Boutique. Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie were talking about their plan to talk to Spike without Twilight Sparkle overhearing them.

"The big issue is getting Twilight away from the library." noted Applejack.

"I could throw a huge party." proposed Pinkie Pie.

"She would become suspicious if she isn't invited." replied Rarity.

"Could Rainbow try and use their love of Daring Do?" asked Applejack.

"Twilight knows as much as about Daring Do as me. Besides, that would require leaving the library." answered Rainbow Dash.

Rarity rubbed her chin with her hoof.

"What if I ask her to come over and help me with a spell." proposed Rarity.

"That's brilliant!" declared Pinkie, jumping in the air.

"Spike isn't a unicorn, so there'd be no reason he would be involved." added Rainbow Dash.

"It could work. We might as well try it." agreed Applejack.

"What if this doesn't work?" asked Fluttershy.

"Don't worry Fluttershy, we this'll be no sweat." answered Rainbow, reassuring her marefriend.

"Let's go." said Applejack.

The five ponies departed and made their ways to the Golden Oaks Library. Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie hid on the other side of the tree/library/Twilight's residence. Rarity knocked on the door and after a moment Spike opened it. Rarity could see Twilight reading through several books and mumbling to herself.

"Hey Rarity. What do you need?" asked Spike, eager to please.

"I came to ask for Twilight for assistance." answered Rarity.

Twilight stopped and walked over to her friend.

"What do you need?" asked Twilight.

"I need help with a spell." answered Rarity.

A small came to Twilight's face.

"Of course. I'm happen to help." said the purple unicorn.

"Let us go." said Rarity.

"Why?" asked Twilight.

Rarity stopped for a moment and thought.

"It's a spell relating to fabric. We must use it at Carousel Boutique." answered Rarity.

"Okay." replied Twilight.

"I'll come to." said Spike.

"I think it would be best for you to stay here." said Twilight.

"It's because I'm not a unicorn, right?" asked Spike.

"Oh don't worry. I'm sure a big and strong dragon like you can take care of the library." answered Rarity.

"Sure thing." replied Spike, his legs getting weak.

Twilight used her magic to grab her a book on spells. Twilight put the book in her saddlebag then placed that on her side. The two unicorns then left Golden Oaks Library. Spike went to catch up on his comics when the door opened. Rainbow Dash Fluttershy, Applejack and Pinkie Pie entered the library.

"You just missed Twilight. She left to help Rarity with a spell." noted Spike.

"We know. That was our plan." confessed Applejack, representing her Element.

Spike was surprised, but quickly became suspicious.

"What's going on?" asked Spike.

"We were hoping you could tell us." answered Pinkie Pie.

Spike sighed and rubbed his face.

"II have no clue. Twilight's been acting weird since the Crystal Empire." answered the baby dragon honestly.

"She hasn't told you anything?" asked Rainbow Dash suspicious.

"No. I've been trying to get it out of her since we got back." answered Spike.

The four ponies all hung their heads knowing their attempts were fruitless.

"Couldn't we dig around for evidence?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"That would invade her privacy." answered Fluttershy.

"Besides, I've tried that. I couldn't find anything." added Spike.

"What do we do now?" asked Pinkie Pie.

"I don't know." answered Applejack.

Meanwhile, Twilight and Rarity made their way through Ponyville. Thy arrived at Carousel Boutique and luckily Sweetie Bell was out with there CMC trying get their Cutie Marks. Opal was upstairs sleeping on Rarity's bed so the two unicorns had the location to themselves.

"Let me know if you want anything Twilight." said Rarity.

"Thanks. Okay Rarity, what spell do you need help with?" asked Twilight.

The purple unicorn used her magic to open the saddlebag and lifted the book out then placed it on a nearby table.

"It's a stitching spell." answered Rarity.

Twilight used her magic to flip a few pages until she reached the section she was looking for.

"All right. I just need to know what sewing stitch you need." said Twilight.

"It's a tent stitch. I need a very specific pattern." said Rarity.

Twilight flipped the pages a bit before stopping.

"Twilight." said Rarity with concern.

The purple unicorn blinked and looked around.

"How did I get here?" asked Twilight.

"I don't understand what you mean darling." answered a perplexed Rarity.

"I was at Golden Oaks Library and now I'm here." said Twilight, her eyes twitching.

"We walked dear." noted Rarity.

"Why?" asked Twilight, getting nervous.

"I needed help with a spell." answered Rarity, becoming worried about her friend.

"I don't remember any of that." noted Twilight, gulping.

Twilight began mumbling to herself.

"Twilight, I'll pour you a cup of tea." said Rarity.

"Where are the others?" asked Twilight.

"I don't know." answered Rarity.

Twilight rubbed her chin with her hoof for a moment

"The library!" cried Twilight.

Twilight turned and ran off racing to Golden Oaks Library as fast as possible.

"Wait!" cried out Rarity.

Twilight raced off to Golden Oaks Library with Rarity shortly behind her. Amethyst Star tried saying hello but, Twilight ran off without replying. Rarity followed quickly behind keeping Twilight in her sight. Twilight burst into the Golden Oaks Library where she found Spike and her other friends. Rarity quickly followed behind her.

"Twilight, please..." began Rarity.

Twilight ignored her friend.

"What's going on?" asked Twilight, clearly anxious.

"Nothing." answered Rainbow Dash.

Twilight set her sites on Applejack.

"AJ, you're the element of honesty so you can't lie. You'll tell me what's going on." said Twilight.

"Twi, this isn't like you." noted Applejack.

"Yeah. You're totally acting weird." added Pinkie.

"Not to mention...slightly manipulative." noted Rarity.

"You're my friends! You know I'm nothing like that!" cried Twilight.

"Twilight, please let us help you." requested Spike, worried.

Twilight ignored Spike's plea and set her sights on Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy, you'll tell me why you're conspiring against me." said Twilight, softly.

"I...um..." stammered Fluttershy.

"Don't say anything." said Rainbow Dash.

Twilight shot Rainbow Dash a glare before once more focusing on Fluttershy.

"It's okay Fluttershy. We're friends." said Twilight.

Fluttershy adverted her eyes and mumbled.

"I can't take it!" cried Twilight.

Twilight tackled Fluttershy down and to pummel the shy pegasus with her hooves.

"Twilight! Stop!" cried Applejack.

Applejack used her strength to pry Twilight off of Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash rushed over to her battered marefriend while the others stood in shock. Rainbow Dash turned back to Twilight.

"I'll kill you!" cried the cyan pegasus.

Rainbow rushed over to Twilight but, the purple unicorn fired a blast of magical energy which sent Rainbow crashing to the ground.

"Please! Don't kill me!" cried Rainbow, shaking.

"I..." began Twilight.

Twilight stopped mid-sentence as she realized something.

"Rainbow Dash would never be shaken by anything that easy." realized Twilight, "This must be a hallucination."

Twilight blinked and found herself in Golden Oaks Library. Her friends stood staring at her and Fluttershy was perfectly fine.

"Are you okay Sugarcube?" asked Applejack.

"I need to lay down." answered Twilight.

Twilight completely ignored the pleas of her friends and went to her room. Twilight lifted her sheet with her magic and crawled into bed. She used her magic to completely cocoon herself under her sheet. After a bit, Twilight dosed off to sleep.

"Where am I?" asked Twilight.

Twilight looked around and found herself in an endless black void.

"Hello Twilight Sparkle." came a familiar voice.

Princess Luna appeared in front of Twilight who bowed.

"There is no need for such formalities." said Luna.

"Sorry." giggled Twilight nervously.

Twilight got back up and faced the princess.

"What is going on?" asked Twilight.

"I could ask you the same thing." answered Luna.

Twilight winced at this.

"I have nothing to discuss." replied Twilight.

"Princess Celestia is worried about you." noted Luna.

Twilight felt a sharp pain in her chest from disappointing her mentor.

"Twilight Sparkle, what is bothering you?" asked Luna.

"I..." answered Twilight.

Twilight began to answer, but a she felt an overwhelming buzzing feeling in her head.

"Twilight, what is wrong?" asked Luna.

"I'm fine. Just leave." answered Twilight.

"Twilight-" began Luna.

"I said leave now!" exclaimed Twilight.

Luna stepped back not used to being addressed like such...especially by Twilight.

"Please do not forget, I am a royal princess." said Luna, pulling rank.

"I don't need help. I want to leave." stated Twilight, perturbed.

Twilight's horn began to glow and she exited her dream using a spell.

"I must tell my sister about this." decided Luna.

Luna let the dream realm and returned to Canterlot Castle. Luna walked down the hallways head to the bedroom of her sister. Luna arrived and enter Celestia's bedroom finding the Princess of the Sun awake. Celestia had been pacing and was eager to hear her sister's report.

"Luna, is Twilight alright?" asked Celestia.

Luna winced a bit and thought about her answer carefully.

"I do not believe so." answered Luna.

Celestia gulped and tried to suppress her anxiety.

"Twilight acted normally at first, but she suddenly began agitated and wanted nothing to do with me." explained Luna.

"Do you know why?" asked Celestia.

"No. Her mood changed suddenly and for no reason I can comprehend." answered Luna.

"I knew something was wrong!" snapped Celestia.

The Princess of the Sun thought for a moment.

"I'm going to Ponyville. I have to talk with Twilight." said Celestia.

"I fear it will be of no use. She seems to be shutting everyone out." replied Luna.

"We have to do something?" asked Celestia.

"I agree. We cannot site idly by." answered Luna.

The two royal sisters thought.

"What about Twilight's friends?" proposed Luna.

"Continue." requested Celestia interested.

"I believe they could be of assistance." stated Luna.

"Of course. They know Twilight well and will be very helpful." agreed Celestia.

"You seem bit out of it." noted Luna.

Celestia sighed and shook her head.

"I've been worried about Twilight. It seems to be preoccupying all of my time." explained Celestia.

Luna let out a bit of a chuckle at this.

"It seems you and Twilight are more alike than you might think." said Luna.

"You maybe right." admitted Celestia.

Author's Notes:

A/N: There is chapter two finished. I jut want to clarify two things real quick. First, Celestia is Twilight's mentor and knows here well which is why she knows when something is wrong. Second, in my head canon ponies simply to not differentiate between heterosexuality and homosexuality or bisexuality. Next time, we continue picking up where we left off and cover the events of "Too Many Pinkie Pies" too. Please review.
