"Spike! Where is my copy of 'The Advanced Guide to Magical Fire: Volume one'?"

"It's in your bedroom. You took up there a few days ago after one of your 'bookcations'."

"Thanks." Twilight Sparkle trotted up the staircase of the castle. On the way she passed the northern wing. "I sure am glad that this area was put together. Otherwise, my room would have been crowded," Twilight thought to herself.

"Mom! Nova's teasing me again!" A lump of dirt hit the window. Twilight flew outside.

"Cam down Star. And Nova stop teasing your sister, even if she is smaller, she is the older twin."

"But-"

"No. Go inside you two. Spike is making dinner." The sisters went inside. Suddenly, a rainbow streak hit the ground in front of Twilight.

"Hello Twilight."

"Hello Sonic Spectrum. What are you doing here?"

The pink alicorn shuffled her hooves. "Well... I was hoping I could stay here for a few days. My house kind of... burnt down." She looked at Twilight, blushing.

"What did you do this time?"

"I borrowed a book from your library, and it was about multi-colored flames. So I tested it out, and accidentally hit the wall instead of the target."

Twilight facehoofed. "Ok. You can stay. But you have to go round everyone up for dinner."

"Ok!" Spectrum sped off.

Twilight went inside. She picked up her book and started to read.

'Directions to make purple flames. Step one: gather ingredients. One piece of poison joke root, two oak branches, a match, and a dozen lavender ivy petals. Mix together, then light match and throw in. Once the color changes to white, zap with dark magic.'

"Dark magic? Better be careful." Twilight prepared the batch of firestone. Then she started to use her magic. "Ow!" Twilight had a sharp pain in her horn." That never happened before." She continued, ignoring the pain, not noticing the purple smoke curling around her hooves. "Done." The smoke attacked, engulfing Twilight in dark magic.

"SPIKE! HELP!" She struggled to get out of the smoke's grasp.

SPIKE ran down the hall to Twilight 's room. But he as too late. All that remained of Twilight was a purple scorch mark.

Just to clear things up, Starburst does not belong to me. She is the creation of Kilala97. I'm just using her in my story.
