Act 3-11
Night Shade

It's a good thing I'm living through Andrew now, he seems to be accepting me well, all things considered. In all honesty, he's a sweet boy on the inside, just a bit hurt like a little colt on the playground. All I need to do is get him on the right track, it is his destiny after all... just like Starswirl said. In a way, I feel pity for the boy... as if I can relate to him in many ways. He had his fiance killed in battle, just like how I went out... Tia was so depressed after I passed. Now that I've found Drew, I can act as his mentor, to right the wrongs I have made so many years ago.

"Hey Andrew." I grabbed his attention.

"Yeah? What is it?"

"You think you can stop by Twilight's House today? If I remember correctly there should be something I left in there a long time ago." I remember burying something next to the tree back when it was a sprout, and it should be something of importance if I can remember what it is.

"Yeah, I'll head on over there in just a little bit." Yes! Well, at least I know someone I can rely on when something needs to get done.

"I see something's on your mind, do you care to tell?"

"Oh yeah, I've found blueprints on the military database on how to make repeaters! I'm almost done making my first Winchester Model 1873 Rifle." Andrew said in a happy way, almost too ecited to contain himself.

"You live in 2160, why do you want to make an old rifle fom 1873?" I asked, not sure of his train of thought.

"I've been fasinated with American history since I was little, my father had an old gun collection that he would always let me look at." He responded, I was a bit confused on the situation. It's been exactly 287 years since that time, you would think that Andrew would want a more up to date type of gun, like lasers or plasma.

"So, what is this thing you're looking for?" He asked me, I hesitated to tell him, not knowing of what the outcome may be.

"It's a book of old spells, I want you to give it to Twilight. If I remember correctly... it should be in the dirt wall of the basement." I told him, and he put his hand on his chin.

"Alright, I just hope this doesn't get me in trouble."

As Andrew walked into Twilight's house, he told her about wanting to go down into her basement, in which she agreed to let him down there. Andrew lit the torches on the wall and saw what seemed to be a lie detector in disrepair, but ignored it and moved on. He then banged the butt of his rifle against the wall, and a medium sized hole in her wall opened up.

"Andrew! What are you doing to my wall?!" Twilight cried out, only for Andrew to not listen, sticking his arm through the hole. The hole was rather deep, as his face touched the dirt wall to try and reach in there, barely managing to grab onto something.

I was so excited to see that the book was still there, and in the same condition as I left it. He took it and dusted it off, accidentally getting into his lungs and coughed. Andrew held out the book to Twilight, in which she was as giddy as a school filly.

"Secret Spells for Master Magic Users, by Prince Night Shade?" Twilight looked up to Andrew who only shrugged as he went back upstairs.

"How did you find this?"

"Night Shade told me." She raised a brow and looked at him suspiciously.

"No really, Night Shade can talk to me."

"Don't do it Drew, only you can hear me." He shrugged at my warning.

"Sure." As Twilight read through the book, she saw a variety of spells she didn't even know existed until now. There was a time travel spell that lasted for an hour, a dimension jumping spell, resurrecting spells, even a spell to switch bodies!

"Yeah, I came up with those." I bragged, causing Andrew to chuckle at me.

"This is remarkable! We need to show the princess right away!" Twilight went upstairs and grabbed a piece of paper to write on, Spike doing the writing of course, Twilight telling him what to write.

"Dear Princess Celestia,

Andrew and I made a remarkable discovery, a book of spells by The Prince Night Shade! It contains multiple spells for only the Unicorns who have mastered magic to the ultimate level. I would like to show this book to you when you have the time, I await your reply as soon as possible. Also, Andrew says hi.

Your Faithful Sutdent, Twilight Sparkle."

"Done!"

"Great, now send it." As Spike blew green fire onto the letter, it was turned to ash.

"Did you really have to say that Andrew?" I asked, causing him to laugh hysterically.

"Yes, yes I did."

Just then, Tia quickly replied back, and Spike burped out a letter. Andrew caught it one handed, flicking the scroll to unwind it, and read it aloud.

"Dear Twilight Sparkle,

That is one of the very few books Night Shade has ever written, and I am very proud of your discovery. I want you to get Andrew and bring him and the book down the Canterlot, so I may take a look at it. You can come too if you want, because you'll only be here for a few hours, if not, a few days. I've provided two tickets inside the letter, and I will see you as soon as you get here.

Your Mentor, Princess Celestia."

"Wow, she must really want to see that book." Twilight said, still excited as ever.

"Why don't you try a spell?" Andrew asked.

"Oh no, this said it's only for the Unicorns who've mastered magic. I'm only on the Advanced Magic level, if I would perform one of these, it could be catastrophic." She warned, Andrew only took the ticked and shrugged.

"I'll meet you by the train station." Andrew said, walking off.

"Don't you need to pack anything?" Twilight asked.

"No, I have Night Shade's Room, plus, there's a Suit Kiosk in there I can use." Andrew said happily. Twilight rolled her eyes as she went upstairs.

"Now, Andrew. You do know what's going to happen, correct?" I asked, Andrew thought about it for a minute.

"If I'm correct, the resurrection spell in this book is going to be used to bring you back from the dead. There's a fifty-fifty chance of killing me in the process." Sadly to say, he was right.

"You know, it wasn't the Darkness that killed me." I admitted, Andrew spat out the water he was drinking, perfect time too.

"Wait, did you just say that the Darkness didn't kill you?"

"Correct, in fact, Celestia was the one that was supposed to die. I used my own resurrection spell in the process, and died to bring her back."

"That's pretty deep man."

"Indeed. Now onward! To Canterlot!"

"We have to wait for Twilight, dipshit." Andrew deadpanned, causing me to have a derp moment.

As Twilight came into view, Andrew smirked, crossing him arms.

"You ready to go?" Andrew asked.

"Yeah, let's go." Andrew followed Twilight inside the train car, closing the door behind him.
