AUTHOR'S NOTE: This story features my original characters, Anne Chiang, and the Witch Trio. The Witch Trio are a joint creation by me and my sister, and their names are Witch Cat, Witch Poodle, and Witch Kitten. We created these three in the early 90's, when we were about eight and nine or so, and these three never really developed real names.

It was another normal day in Ponyland. The little ponies were playing around, like they usually did. Buttons was playing "he loves me, he loves me not" with Posey's daisies, and she wasn't too happy.

"Buttons, I would appreciate it if you didn't do that to my flowers," she said.

"I'm just thinning them out, Posey," Buttons said, pulling a daisy petal off with her teeth. "He loves me, he loves me not."

"I've never seen a pony so stuck on a Big Brother as her," Fizzy said.

The little ponies laughed and continued to play. Unknown to them, they were being watched. Far away from Dream Valley, there was an area known as Skull Mountain. There lived the Witch Trio, Witch Cat, her daughter Witch Kitten, and her assistant Witch Poodle. She hated Ponyland as much as the Witches from the Volcano of Gloom hated them, and were always looking for a way to ruin Ponyland.

"I've got to find a way to put and end to those little ponies' fun for good!" Witch Cat shouted. "But how am I gonna do that?"

"Why don't you steal their Rainbow of Light?" Witch Poodle suggested.

"That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard!" Witch Cat shouted. Then she began to think for a moment. She smiled, and snapped her fingers. "I've got it! I've got it! We'll steal their Rainbow of Light! Am I a genius or what?"

Witch Cat and Witch Kitten walked off to steal the Rainbow of Light. Witch Poodle grumbled, and walked after them.

"She's a genius all right," Witch Cat said. "A genius who steals all my ideas!"

The Witch Trio walked into Witch Cat's spell room. Witch Kitten began to looking through her mother's books, until she came across the perfect spell.

"Hey Ma!" she shouted. "I think I've got the perfect spell for getting that darn rainbow of theirs!"

"Let me see," Witch Cat said, looking through the book. She looked at the spell, and nodded. "Yes, this spell's perfect! You take after your mother, have I ever told you that?"

"About three million times," Witch Kitten said.

Witch Cat ignored her, and began pouring things into her cauldron. She stirred the purple goop around with a large wooden spoon, and then banged on the side of the cauldron with the spoon. The cauldron started to shake, and finally, KA-BOOM! Purple mist flew out of the cauldron and flew directly to Dream Valley. Paradise, Whizzer, and Skydancer were flying around, enjoying the day, when Paradise saw the purple mist coming.

"What's that?" she asked.

"I don't know, but I think we should tell the others," Skydancer said.

"I'll go tell them!" Whizzer said. "We can't waste time standing around here, that stuff could be bad news! Let's go, let's go!"

The three pegasi flew towards Paradise Estate and warned the other little ponies about the mist. It was flying towards Paradise Estate fast.

"What is that?" Medley asked.

"I don't know, but I'll give it my famous double inside out loop!" Firefly shouted, flapping rapidly towards the mist.

Firefly flew straight into the mist, performing her double inside out loop, and she ended up lost in the fog.

"Hey! Where'd everybody go?" she asked.

The mist flew into a window, and searched for something or another. It finally found what it was looking for: The Rainbow of Light. The mist picked up the heart shaped locket and flew out the window.

"It's stealing our rainbow!" Twilight shouted.

"I'll go after it!" Slugger shouted, and he started to gallop off.

The mist sensed him coming, and wrapped itself around him. Then it flew into the air.

"Whoa-ho-ho," Slugger said, nervously. "Wha-ha-ha . . . . ."

The mist then dropped Slugger. He plummeted to the ground. Buttons nearly had a heart attack. She lit up her horn, and tried to move Slugger down to the ground. However, the landing wasn't so great. She dropped him on top of Tex. CRASH!

"Ow!" Slugger shouted. "My leg!"

"Oooh!" Tex groaned. "My back!"

"Some big hero," Sparkler replied. "That mist got away with the rainbow!"

"I'd better get Megan!" Paradise shouted. Whizzer followed her.

"I'll go with you," she said. "Just in case."

The two Pegasi flew over the rainbow, and into Megan's farmyard. Megan was nowhere to be seen, and neither were Danny and Molly.

"Megan!" Paradise called out. "Are you here?"

"Looks deserted to me," Whizzer said, as she flew into the air. She looked around and then saw something. "Wait a minute, here she comes! Megan! Hey Megan!"

Megan was walking leading her pony, TJ, around the yard. Riding TJ was an Asian-American girl around Megan's age, with straight, messy looking chin-length black hair, and brown almond-shaped eyes. She wore faded blue jeans with a hole in one knee, a faded green T-shirt with permanent stains that would never come out no matter how many times it was washed, ratty looking white sneakers, and a grubby red baseball cap. She heard Whizzer, and looked up.

"Hey, Megan, what's that?" she asked, pointing to Whizzer and Paradise.

Before Megan could answer, Paradise and Whizzer flew down.

"Megan, we need help!" Paradise shouted. "Some weird purple mist stole the Rainbow of Light!"

"Wow, talking ponies!" the other girl shouted. "This is too cool, Megan!"

"We need you to come with us to Ponyland right away!" Whizzer shouted.

"What exactly happened?" Megan asked as she climbed on Whizzer.

"Hey, wait for me!" the other girl shouted, as she jumped off TJ, and proceeded to climb on Paradise. "This is gonna be a blast!"

"I don't know . . . ." Megan said, hesitantly. "You don't know Ponyland like I do, Anne. And you've only been riding for two days, and that's just on TJ. I don't know if you'd be ready to ride a Pegasus pony."

"Aw, come on, Megs!" Anne shouted. "You know I'm always up for a little adventure!"

"She'd get along great with Firefly and Gusty," Paradise commented.

"Who is she, anyway, Megan?" Whizzer asked.

"Guys, this is my best human friend, Anne Chiang," Megan said. "Anne, these are two of my pony friends, Paradise and Whizzer."

"Hi," Anne said. "Come on, let's get going! On to adventure!"

"I like her already!" Paradise said with a laugh, and she and Whizzer took off over the rainbow.
