Ponisprite

"Come on, Twilight, you can do it!" Spike said encouragingly.

It was a bright and sunny afternoon in Ponyville, and everypony was out enjoying weather. Spike and Twilight were in the town park, about to practice a new teleportation spell that Twilight had been studying. With it, she would be able to travel further distances then she ever had before through teleporting. Today, she was going to attempt to teleport all the way to Canterlot, and then back to Ponyville.

"Okay, Spike. Here I go," said Twilight. She closed her eyes and concentrated as hard as she could. She concentrated on the image of the place in Canterlot where she wanted to appear. Her horn began to glow a purple light. Spike watched as twilight's horn powered up with the spell, the light growing bigger and brighter by the second.

Suddenly, he noticed something buzzing around down by Twilight's hooves. A small round creature with fairy wings and large green eyes. He quickly recognized the tiny fuzzy ball as a parasprite.

Oh no! he thought. His eyes grew wide, remembering first hand how much trouble those little pests could be. "Uh… Twilight…"

"Quiet, Spike," said Twilight as she focused on the spell. "For this to work, I need absolute concentration."

"But Twilight, you really need to…"

Spike was cut short as Twilight finished the spell and, in a blinding flash of light, disappeared into thin air.

The little purple dragon was blinded for a few seconds from the bright light. He rubbed his eyes and blinked them a couple times and then looked again. Twilight was gone. She had teleported, and he hoped successfully to Canterlot.

He then looked around for the parasprite he had seen, but he didn't see it anymore. He realized it must have flown away, hopefully to the Everfree forest. He hoped it wouldn't come back. Parasprite infestations were a pain to get rid of, even with the aid of music, which parasprites couldn't resist. If just one stayed behind, it would start multiplying again and soon they would be everywhere, eating everything in sight.

I'll warn Twilight about it when she gets back, he told himself.

Twilight emerged in a flash of light. She swayed a little, both mentally and physically exhausted, as well as dizzy and a little nauseous from the strain of teleporting.

She looked around her at her surroundings. She saw rows and rows of books all around her. She smiled as she realized she was exactly where she had wanted to teleport to. Inside the Canterlot library, in the Star Swirl the Bearded section.

"Excellent! The spell worked perfectly," she said excitedly to herself. "Now I'll just rest for a minute or two and then teleport back."

While she waited, she took the time to look around her old library, which she hadn't been to in a long while. She like being back in its familiar walls, and was happy to see that it hadn't changed much since she'd been gone.

Back in Ponyville, Spike was pacing back and forth, waiting for twilight to reappear. He kept glancing at the pocket watch he had been carrying.

Five minutes, he thought to himself. Where is she? I hope nothing went wrong.

Two seconds later, there was another flash of light several yards away, and Twilight Sparkle reappeared.

"Twilight!" shouted Spike happily as he hurried over to her. "I guess it worked."

"Yeah, Spike," said Twilight, a bit dizzy again, but proud of herself that she had accomplished yet another advanced spell.

Then Spike remembered. "Oh, by the way, Twilight, I was trying to tell you something earlier while you were teleporting. I saw a parasprite."

Twilight's eyes widened. "A parasprite! That isn't good." She remembered all too well the last time parasprites got into town. "Where is it now?"

"It flew away," said Spike.

"Well, we better warn the whole town to be on the look out for them, just in case. We don't want another infestation."

She gently tossed Spike onto her back with her head, and then reared up and galloped into town.
