It was abnormally warm today in Ponyville. Celestia had decided to increase the heat a little due to an error in the pegasus ponys double downpour yesterday. The heat wasnt unbearable but just
enough to make everypony sweat. Twilight being so used to cool weather was the most affected though. She sat quietly panting inside the library groaning at the heat, a small complaint escaped her
lips ever so often aimed at noone, but being heard by spike who was relaxing in a chair just outside the front door in the sunlight. Being a dragon and cold blooded this was fantastic weather to
him.
"Ugh, Spike! Is there anything we can do to cool down the library? Im so hot i feel like im goin to explode.!
Spike looked back through the door leaning a little further back in his chair. He gave a big yawn before replying.
"Well Twi, Maybe you can find a spell to cool things off inside." He said casually turning back around and placing his hand behind his head giving another yawn.
"Thats it! Im sure i can find something to help with the heat." Twilight trotted excitedly toward a bookcase using her horn to magically levitate several books at a time from it to in front of her
so that she could read the titles.
"No, no, no, no, no, YES! This is the book!" Twilight laughed, giving a small prance as she went over to her giant beanbag to sit down.
She opened the book looking through the chapter list to find the section she was looking for. After locating the section on weather manipulation she quickly turned to the page and began to read to
herself.
"Hmmmmmmmm, these spells dont seem to dificult. But whats this warning about?" She hmmed looking at the bold print red letters. "WARNING, Do not attempt more than one of these spells at a single
time, within 100 feet of the affected area, or within the aloted time frame stated for each spell. Unknown side effects may occur and have been known to be random dangerous occurances."
Twilight looked at the page layout of how the timetable was for each spell. As she got to the spell she was going to cast she noticed the page had been torn through the time. She groaned squinting
at the time, she could make out the number 30 but the letter indicating the time was torn through and couldnt be determined if it was an M for minutes or S for seconds. Everything else on the board
had an S on it so she assumed it would be the same.
"All this spell says is that it will make the area cold. I hope thats all it does." She gave a slight twinge of fear as she began to concentrate on the spell. Her horn began to glow as she began
casting the spell. She could feel the room starting to cool off and gave a sigh of relief as cool air surrounded her body. A slight shudder of delight escaped her as she continued the spell, her
eyes closed as she concentrated harder. After a few more seconds the spell was finished and her eyes snapped open to see her accomplishment. Her eager happy thoughts quickly turned to dismay as
she looked around the room noticing snowflakes falling everywere. Looking up she could see thick white clouds surrounding the ceiling, snow falling gently to the floor.
"Oh noooooo!" Twilight cried as she danced worridly in place. "I wanted cold, not snow!" She said running back and forth, trying to get some of the snow off of the books and tossing it outside. As
she was tossing snow she hit spike with a small pile which caused him to gasp loudly in shock.
"AAAAHHHH! Twilight! What was that... for..." He trailed off looking back inside the library seeing twilight use he magic to levitate snow and toss it out windows and doors alike.
"Wow, i knew you liked cooler weather Twi but this is ridiculous." Spike said mockingly. Twilight gave him an annoyed looked as she launched some snow toward the door he was occupying, he quickly
dodged heading inside to help.
"Spike can you grab that book on the beanbag for me?" Twilight asked knodding in the general direction of the beanbag. Spike went over to a pile of snow that was quickly beggining to get bigger as
the snow picked up pace falling. He dug into the pile finally finding the book and brushing it off. Before he could turn around the book leapt from his hands toward Twilight, She looked frantically
for a counter spell. "Aha! Here we go!" Twilight yelled giving a big grin. She tossed the book back to Spike and began casting the spell. Her horned began to glow brightly as a small heatwave
began to envelope the room. The clouds on the ceiling began to evaporate as did all the snow as it turned into water, then vapor. She gave a grunt as some feedback began to happen. Her horn began
to spout magic in every direction. Twilight cried out as sparks of magic began pouring from her horn in every direction. "SPIKE! Get outside! QUICK!" She screamed as the sparks began to grow. Spike
yelled running out the door as quickly as his little legs could carry him. As soon as he made it to the door and opened it, a loud explosion and force launched him 10 feet from the door entrance
outside. He skidded to a halt on his belly. Letting out a small groan as he shook his head standing up he turned to see many windows of the library shattered, littering the ground with shards of
broken glass. Many other ponys began to gather around the library wondering what the loud noise was. Spike causiously entered the library looking around to try and locate his pony friend. He heard
a groan next to a shelf were a pile of books had fallen to the floor. Spike rushed over hearing another moan as he began sifting through the books quickly revealing a dazed purple unicorn.
"Twilight! Are you ok?" Spike yelled pulling his friend from the pile and hefting her up. She let out another groan and quickly collapsed onto the floor unconcious. Rarity and Rainbow Dash rushed
in seeing thier friend on the floor.
"Somepony get Nurse Redheart!" Spike yelled.
"Im on it!" Rainbow Dash yelled quickly flying out the door, almost knocking over several other ponys in the process.
"What in Equestria happened here spike?" Rarity asked laying down and placing Twilights head on her forelegs.
"I duno. I was outside when i heard Twilight yelling, When i rushed in, it was snowing..." Spike was cut off
"Snowing! Spike dear, did you hit your head as well?" Rarity asked giving a hint of disbelief.
"No, im fine. Twilight cast a spell to get rid of the snow and something backfired from both spells."
Just as Spike had finished talking, Rainbow Dash and Nurse Redheart entered. She quickly shooed the dragon and white pony from Twilight as she began to work.
A few minutes past that seemed like hours to everypony outside waiting to hear what was going on.
"I can sit here and wait any longer!" Rainbow dash said in a gruff tone as she took off toward the door to the library.
Just before she was about to slam through the door it opened revealing Nurse Redheart who quickly ducked as the rainbow pegasus flew over her head inside.
"Oh my!" Nurse Redheart squeaked
By this time every pony was rushing into the library to check on Twilight. Spike stopped outside to talk to Nurse Redheart.
"Is Twilight ok?" He asked, a twinge of fear and concern in his voice.
"Shes perfectly fine Spike, Just make sure she doest use any magic for the next 24 hours and she should be ok. This will give her some experience as an earth pony for a day. She might learn
something new from this experience." Nurse Redheart smiled reassuringly to Spike. Spike gave a sigh of relief as he entered the library. Twilight lay quietly on her bed upstairs as her friends had
gathered around her to check on her. Pinkie was the first start.
"OHMIGOSH! Twilight, are you ok! What happened? Did something explode? Was it a cupcake? Did you... mmmfmmmfmmfmfmmmmff." Pinkie was quickly silenced by Applejack who shoved her hat over pinkies
face.
"Hold on there partner. Lets give Twi some time to answer the first question."
Pinky just knodded looking toward Twilight in expectation of the answers.
"My head is still swimming, but im ok. How is the library?" Twilight asked rubbing her head.
Everyone gave an annoyed sigh, Only Twilight would think of the books over her own safety.
"Well. The library is in shambles for the moment, but dont worry, we can pick up all the books." Rainbow Dash commented looking over the edge of the railing to the floor below.
"Nurse Redheart said i cant use any magic for a day because of the strain i was put through in that last spell i cast." Twilight said giving a wince of pain as she rubbed her horn slightly.
"Well then sugarcube, consider yourself an earth pony for a day." Applejack gave a chuckle. "Might learn ya somethin'new."
Fluttershy smiled at this idea, "Wow Twilight, you can be a whole new pony for a whole day, I wish i could do that." She said softly giving a small smile.
"But girls, do you know what its like to be a unicorn without magic? Its a terrible thing. I remember when i caught a bad cold when i was just a young pony, It was a magic cold, I couldnt do a
thing for almost a week since i didnt have my magic." Rarity spoke in a dramatic tone.
"Being an earth pony aint so bad Rarity, ya'll just dont like gettin dirty is all. Since ya caint use yer magic to make things float you'll have to use yer hooves an such to physically move
things." Applejack retorted with a wink.
"Its ok, Im always with Twilight so i can help out, I dont use magic so its no problem." Spike said reassuringly to everyone. After a few minutes of talking everypony had decided to help out
Twilight by cleaning up the library while she got some rest. Everypony went about what they were doing, cleaning up here, placing books on shelves. Rarity was the least productive, using her magic
to thoroughly clean books and shelves before placing them in there respective spots. Rainbow Dash was flying through the room moving books, she looked toward Rarity and gave an anoyed sigh as she
began to argue at her for being so slow but vanished into thin air while talking. "What was that Rainbow Dash? Rarity said looking up to were Rainbow was previously only to see a ripple in the air
were Rainbow had past through. Rarity gave an audible gasp catching everyone elses attention. "Were Rainbow go?" Fluttershy asked sitting down next to Rarity as she stared wide eyed at the ripple
in the air. Fluttershy and the others gathered next to Rarity and looked up to see the ripple as well. All jaws dropped seeing it. Just as Pinkie was about to speak Rainbow Dash reappeared quickly
flying through the ripple. Everypony gasped.
"Holy smokes! What happened? Rainbow Dash said landing in front of her friends. "One second i was flying up there, the next is was in the middle of a forest near a really weird house. It was
nothing like the houses in Equestria.
"Its weird, i wonder..." Rainbow said taking off back to the ripple, her hoof under her chin in thought.
"Dont get to close darling." Rarity said just as Rainbow Dash put her hand into the ripple, making her whole arm disappear. There was a loud gasp from everypony, Rarity fainted dramatically.
Rainbow quickly pulled her arm from the ripple and it was fine. "Wow! That is so cool." Rainbow laugh as she stuck her head inside the ripple making it seemed as if her head was now seperated from
the body. Everypony gasped seeing the flying headless pegasus until Rainbow pulled her head back through.
"Rainbow! You done near gave us all heartattacks doing that!" Applejack yelled.
Twilight groaned turning over in her bed from the comotion downstairs. She slowly moved from the bed to the banister looking down to everypony then back up to Rainbow who was flying in spot looking
at a ripple in the air. Reality hit Twilight as adrenaline coursed through her very being. "OHIGOSH! What IS that?" Twilight yelled looking at the ripple. Everypony rushed upstairs to Twilight
giving her a hug, their attention turning back to Rainbow as she kept disappearing back and forth into the ripple. "Rainbow quit that, we dont know what it is!" Twilight yelled making Rainbow stop.
A look of annoyance crossed Rainbows face as she landed downstairs giving Rarity a nudge. Rarity awaoke seeing Rainbowdash overtop of her sticking her tongue out and crossing her eyes. Rarity gave
a startled yell as she stood upright quickly. Rainbow gave a small laugh flying upstairs, Rarity close behind.
"What is that thing?" Twilight asked looking at the ripple.
"We duno, Rainbow just happened to fly into it a few minutes ago by accident." Applejack started
"Where is everypony?" Spike yelled as he came back in from the other room downstairs.
"Up here Spike." Twilight yelled.
Spike made his way qquickly upstairs giving Twilight a hug.
"Whats going on?" Spike asked.
