Day 0/prolouge

Date _?_

4:30am - Dear Diary, Spike gave me letter from Princess Celestia! Stating that she wants me, and me alone to meet her in the castle for a Top secret mission that only I can do. I wonder why Princess Celestia wants me? What can I do that Celestia wants? It's got to be important, I know that for sure, but what?

4:45am - Dear Diary, Rarity came up to me and asked "Where are you going?" I said nicely "I was going to talk to Celestia." She replied, "In that old thing? No, no, no, darling. I must help you to look your best for Celestia." I tried to convince Rarity, but once her mind is made up it's hard to get her out of it. Any way, I went with her. After a grueling 15 minutes later, I was ready to see Celestia, but before I left, Rarity said, "Now you look Fabulous, darling. Now go along see Celestia. Tell her I said hi."

5:15am - Dear Diary, finally, I'm at the castle. Now where in the castle did she say to meet? I know I'll ask a guard. "Uh excuse me?" The guard said, "Fluttershy! We have been expecting you. You're needed in Celestia room immediately!" "Show me the way." I said as we galloped through the hallway... left turn..., right turn..., left turn. To my surprise he stopped so soon that I skidded into her room without knocking. "What in my name was that sound?" she asked while in anther room. I cough a couple times, then dusted myself off when she surprised me, "AAAAhhhhh! Sorry I was scared," I said as I cover my eyes with my hooves while I bowed down. "Scared. No Fluttershy you scared me! Now stop cowering, or might not give you your mission." I immediately stood up "That's better, now about the mission, Mother Nature is sick, very sick unfortunately, I hate to say this, but I'm giving you temporary Alicorn powers until Mother Nature feels better and able to work her magic." I jumped up and down with glee, mentally, then I stopped thought about it and asked, "Why me? Are you sure nopony else can do this job?" "Because you're the only one that is like her and besides isn't she your grandmare?" Celestia said. That's right, it has been 4 years since I seen her, I almost forgot my grandmother is Mother Nature. "Before you turn me into an alicorn I have a question?" "What is it?" she said "Will it hurt?" "It might..." Those were the last words I heard before I was encircled by a yellow light. Let me tell you, my forehead felt like the worst ice cream headache I ever had. Then a dull pain settled in and I blacked out for several hours.

8:58pm - Dear Diary, I woke up in her bed. I was in her bed! I almost fainted again. "Fluttershy! Wake up Fluttershy!" Celestia screamed at me. "Aaaaaahhhhhh!" I jumped out of the bed and on the floor. "I'm up! I'm up!" I screamed "Don't scare me again. I don't care who you are. Just don't scare me. Uh... if that's ok with you." I said back in my normal voice again. She giggled, "Why don't you look in a mirror." she said pointing with her hoof, so I did. I was in shock, in the middle of my forehead was a yellow horn although no rings that I can see, and then I bombarded her with questions, "How long will I stay as an Alicorn? What type of magic can I do? Why does my horn dose not have rings?" "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold your hooves! Slow down Fluttershy! I know you're excited, but with all do respect, this is temporary as long as Mother Nature is sick you will stay as an temporary Alicorn. As for the magic I'm not sure I guess you'll have to figure out that by yourself. And finally why your horn dose not have rings is because it's a temporary horn, and it shows that you're a temporary Alicorn until a task is complete. Your task is to fill in for your grandmare until she's better. Now you know task, are you ready for the responsibility of your grandmare?" she said "I am ready for this task, Celestia." I said as I was about to walk out when she blocked me and said, "Before you leave, bring Spike with you, so you can contact me if you need to." "I *Yawned* will." As I walk out of the castle, through Ponyville, at the edge of town in my home. I walk upstairs and slept in my bed. Where my trouble starts tomorrow.

This is Fluttershy saying goodnight, Angel.
