"And then the prince and Briar Rose were married, and the wedding feast was given and they lived happily ever after all their lives long... " Pinkie Pie finished.

"Thank you so much for letting me borrow your book, Twilight! Or at least holding it up for me." Yawned Pinkie as she looked down at the sleeping twins of Pound and Pumpkin Cake. "Sure Pinkie. I love sharing fariytales with
others! There's so many lessons in them too." Twilight said, slipping her book of fariytales in her saddlebag. "Yeah! I wish you could go into that book! Imagine all the fun you could have in a fairytale!" Pinkie giggled. Her friend
suddenly looked worried. "Er… I don't think so! You could be handed a posin apple o-or prick your hoof on a spindle and you'd be asleep forever! That's a bad, bad idea." Twilight whispered. "Why are you so afraid? It was just a thought."
Pinkie said. The alicorn shrugged. "O-oh, alright. I better get back to the castle."

At the castle, Twilight sat awake in her bedroom. It was well past midnight and she looked through her fairytale book. The book had colorful pictures to describe the story it told on the next page. She flipped to the last two pages that brought
back too many memories to count. There was a sudden knock at her door and she slammed the book shut. Who could be awake at this hour? The mare stood up and opened the door.

"Twilight? What are you doing up? You need to get to sleep." Spike said. The alicorn frowned. "Ahem, you're a baby dragon, you need to get to sleep." The dragon shrugged. "I can't sleep. Can I stay in here for
a little bit?" Before Twilight could answered, he walked in. "I can't wait for the party! It's going to be the best day ever!" He yawned, jumping on the bed. Twilight sat down next to him and rolled her eyes. "You've told me a
thousand times." She giggled. Spike smiled and said, "Tomorrow's Rarity's birthday! Today was the day the most beautiful creature on earth was born." He sighed. The dragon turned to a picture on the nightstand. It was of Twilight as
a filly reading to a baby Spike.

"I miss when you read fairy stories to me… I always wondered why you stopped." Spike said, looking at Twilight. "I don't know. I guess I just didn't want to read them anymore." She sighed. The dragon looked at her book.
"But you do read them. Just no-"

"I don't like to, Spike!" Twilight creid, making him jump. She softened a little and sighed. "We need to go to bed."

A few hours later there was a bustle of activity in the castle. It was Rarity's birthday and the party was being set up.

"I need more frosting pepole!" Pinkie creid, for she was icing a vanilla cake with white frosting, just like her friend wanted it. Spike handed her a tube and she finished. It was all ready and Spike, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Starlight,
Pinkie Pie, and Twilight were awaiting the guest of honor.

Rarity opened the door and gasped at the scene. "SURPRISE!" The group yelled. "Oh girls! You shouldn't have!" The unicorn said, rushing to them. They group hugged. After parting, they walked together when Rarity pointed something
out. "Twilight? Why did you leave that book there?" Twilight looked and gasped. Her fairytale book lay wide open. She looked at the picture and saw it was the story of Sleeping Beauty. She grabbed it with her magic before Rarity could touch
it. "I didn't leave it." Twilight said with a bit of panic in her voice, teleporting it to her bedroom.

The book appear five more times throughout the party in random spots and the princess grew more and more afraid.

"Twi! Are you okay?" Rainbow asked after Twilight was hyperventilating after seeing it yet again. "I-it's happening all over again!" She whispered. "What's happening again?" Applejack asked. The princess bit her lip.
"The book."

"The book? What about the book?" Starlight asked. "It's coming for us!" Twilight whispered. "The… Book is coming to get us? How could that happen?" Fluttershy wondered.

"Books might be magical! Like evil magic coming to eat us up!" Pinkie yelled, baring her teeth. Rarity rolled her eyes. "Twilight, darling, I'm getting rid of this book." She said. The mare only touched the book and she
vanished. The group gasped in horror. "No! Rarity!" Twilight cried. "W-where did she go?!" Fluttershy asked. They all nodded together, touched the book and disappeared. "No! My friends!" Twilight gasped. Spike looked
at her. "Let's go!" Before the princess could stop him, he put his claw on and vanished. Twilight put her hoof down.

The friends found themselves in a beautiful meadow filled with flowers. They looked at each other and gasped. Twilight and Spike looked normal but the others were dressed in very different clothes.

Rainbow Dash had a light blue checkered dress on with red tights and a red cloak to match.

Fluttershy had a blue dress that had a yellow skirt and short sleeves. Her mane was tied with a red ribbon.

Rarity wore a gray forest dress yet had a golden circlet on her head. Her purple mane was braided and pink roses were woven in.

Applejack only wore brown ugly rags and her mane was tied back with a blue handkerchief under her hat. But she was glad she didn't have to wear a fancy gown like most of her friends.

Starlight wore a purple sun dress with golden patterns on it. But that wasn't the most changed.

Pinkie Pie wore a white, fluffy dress with pink feather sewn on. Her hair had been put in a bun and she wore a tiara of silver with even more feathers coming out.

"Wow! That's the exact opposite of a hair cut!" Pinkie cried, pointing to Starlight. The unicorn turned and to her horror she saw her mane had grown and was around seventy feet! "My hair!" She cried. Rarity shook her head.
"If that is permanent, I'm never styling it again!"

Twilight opened the book which had come with her and checked. It was true looking at the pictures. "Girls… I think we're in the fariytale land."
