six months later

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together, and created harmony for all the land. To do this, the oldest used her alicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn. The younger brought out the moon to begin the night. Thus the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects, all the different types of ponies. But as time went on, the younger sister became resentful. The Ponies relished and played in the day her older sister brought forth, but shunned, and slept through her beautiful night. One fateful day, the younger alicorn refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn. The older sister tried to reason with her, but the bitterness in the young ones heart had transformed her into a wicked mare of darkness, 'Nightmare Moon'. She vowed that she would shroud the land in eternal night. Reluctantly the older sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to pony kind, 'The Elements of Harmony'. Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony, she defeated her sister, and banished her permanently in the moon. The older sister took on the responsibility of both sun and moon, and harmony has been maintained in Equestria for generations since.

Twilight looked at the book she was reading. Celestia asked her to give it to Sunset, but she decided to read it, and she was confused. This was a foals story. Picking it up with her mouth she decides to give it to Sunset anyways. As she walked back to where She, her friends/adopted sisters, and Sunset lived she wished she could use magic better, but Thestral magic goes haywire till they turned 13, so she had two more years, the only time it is focus and not crazy is when she got mad. As she walk home she ran into Lemon Hearts and Twinkle Shine both with presents on there backs.

"There you are Twilight. Is Sunset doing anything, Minuette is having a little get together in the west castle courtyard, can you tell her? Lemon Hearts asked.

"Okay." Twilight said and ran the rest of the way without interruptions. She soon made it to the doors, opened them and yelled, "Sunset? Suunset?"

"Hi Twilight. Where were you?" Sunset asked when she heard Twilight.

"Celestia ask me to give this to you." Twilight said setting the book on the ground. "And Minuette wants you to come to her party."

"Twilight you know we don't have time for things like that." Sunset said before levitated the book to her eyes and read the entire book.

"Hmmm, Elements of Harmony. I know I've heard of those before." Sunset said thinking. "Twilight can you help me find that old copy on predictions and prophecies."

Then Trixie, Diamond, and Derpy as well as Spike and Garble entered to see Sunset and Twilight searching through all the books.

"Sunset? What are you doing? Were on break," Garble asked looking at the two, so Twilight filled them in on what they found.

"Found it!" Sunset said in triumph before taking over to a pedestal to read, and began flipping through the pages. "Elements, elements, e, e, e, e, ah ha. Elements of Harmony, see Mare in the Moon?" She questioned.

"Mare in the moon? But isn't that just an old pony's tale," Derpy asked looking at everypony.

Sunset flipped through the pages once more and muttered, "Mare, mare, ah ha. The Mare in the Moon, myth from olden pony times. A powerful pony who wanted to rule Equestria, defeated by the Elements of Harmony and imprisoned in the Moon. Legend has it that on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape, and she will bring about night time eternal. (Gasp) Spike, Garble, girls do you all know what this means?"

"No." The six of them said looking at each other.

"Twilight, take a note please, to the princess." Sunset said

"Okay." Twilight said as she grabbed a pencil and scroll. "Ready!"

"My dearest teacher, my continuing studies in pony magic have led me to discover that we are on the precipice of disaster. For you see the mythical mare in the moon is in fact Nightmare moon. And she is about to return to Equestria, and bring with her eternal night. Something must be done to make sure this prophecy does not come true. I await your orders, your faithful student Sunset Shimmer."

"Sunset Shimmer, there got it." Twilight exclaimed.

"Great, Send it," Sunset commanded.

"Now?" Twilight questioned.

"Of course." Sunset said firmly.

"I don't know Sunset, Celestia is a little busy getting ready for the Summer Sun Celebration. And that's like the day after tomorrow," Twilight informed her.

"That's just it Twilight. The day after tomorrow is the thousandth year of the Summer Sun Celebration. It's imperative that Celestia is told right away," Sunset said with urgency.

"Okay Sunset," Twilight said wondering where this will go.

Twilight then took a deep breath and let a bat-like squeak, It's normal purpose was for echolocation, however Celestia found that a spell would allow Twilight to use it to send messages. How it worked was when the squeak hit the scroll the scroll would morph into a bat-like figure and fly towards the intended pony. There it will turn back into a scroll.

"There it's on it's way." Twilight said looking up at the bigger pony.

A few minutes pass by before Twilight squeaks up the letter and reads it out loud to Sunset. "My dearest most faithful student Sunset. You know I value your intelligence and that I trust you completely. But you simply must stop taking certain books seriously."

Twilight then looked at the back, "Another note on the back. It says 'my most faithful student Sunset. There is more to a young ponies life then studying. So I am sending you, Spike, Garble, me, Trixie, Derpy, and Diamond to oversee the preparations in this year's location Ponyville. And I have a even more essential task for you to complete...Make some friends?"

Twilight looked up and asked, "aren't Minuette, Lemon Hearts, Twinkle Shine your friends?

Sunset rolled her eyes. "Twilight there acquaintances, not friends. Anyways I don't need friends, I have you, Spike, Garble, Trixie, Derpy, and Diamond. I have plenty of company. Besides you and the others should pack for Ponyville."

So Twilight walked over to her room with Trixie and talked.

"Say Twilight I'm going to put on my cloak?"

Twilight smiled at her sister as she wondered what the day would bring.
