Chapter one: morning sunshine
It was another day in equestria. ponyville was calm and quiet as its inhabitants stirred from their sleep. including princess Twilight who arose quietly despite such troublesome wings. she couldn't help but notice the purple dragon beside her bed loudly snoring. she removed the earplugs she constantly wore while sleeping and woke him up with a gentle jab with her hoof as this was the only way to wake him. As he stirred she said "spike spike its time to get up" he opened his eyes groggily and asked "what time is it" Twilight said "7:00" "ten more minutes" he whined "you might wake everyone in ponyville with your snoring" she said with a chuckle. the argument continued for about 13 minutes before spike gave up and got out of bed. Still in a daze spike and a very awake Twilight descended from the stairs to find a sleeping owlowiscious as spike thought "lucky owl". Twilight began to make coffee while spike prepared breakfast gems for him and oatmeal for Twilight they both sat down at the table and began eating. after a minute spike began to notice the exhausted look Twilight had he asked "what's wrong you seem tired Twilight" she replied with a shrug "Celestia is working my hooves to the bone with all the paperwork concerning nightmare moon's spirit" "nightmare moon? I thought she was destroyed by the elements of harmony" spike asked confused "I thought so too until Celestia told me that her spirit turned up trying to possess a filly" "wow that's low even for her...how could she posses a filly" spike questioned, "good question spike as it turns out nightmare moon is a parasite that feeds off of the sorrow and anger of her host "Twilight had explained "well that explains a lot" he said as he finished his breakfast "Oh and before I forget happy birthday Twilight" she had completely forgot today was her birthday. spike had went out the door while she was pondering her thoughts but didn't think of it much for it didn't concern her besides she had paperwork to do. as spike ran out the door he stopped for a second to see if Twilight was following him and to his luck she wasn't he headed to sweet apple acres to check on the party the mane 6 was planning for Twilight. Even having a appearance from Celestia who brought a couple of surprises though not telling what. it was her first birthday with wings and after that fiasco with the two legged world she had mastered flight but as Pinky Pie fired her cannon almost directly above the trembling dragon she giggled before asking "are you alright spike" "I'm fine just watch where you shoot that thing" she giggled again before saying "i was" "ya alright sugarcube" asked the orange pony to the right of him "nah he's fine" said the blue Pegasus above him before this went on any longer he asked "how's the party coming along" "superduper" said the hyperactive pink pony with poofy hair "I reckon we almost have enough decorations to kick this bugger off" "spike we need you to meet rarity and Fluttershy at sugarcube corner with Twilight then say 'the bird has landed' to signal rarity to use her magic to ring that bell" Rainbow dash pointed to a small bell just above the door to the barn "got it" spike said saluting the pony.
