Disclaimer: I don't own My Little Pony Friendship is Magic

Another fine day in ponyville, Twilight sparkle had just been turned into an Alicorn and was still getting used to her wings. "Come on Twilight I know you can do it!" Rainbowdash cheered flapping her wings, trying to get Twilight to join her in a race.

Twilight sighed once again as she started to flap her wings and descended into the air 'focus, I have to focus' she said trying to concentrate on balancing. "Well I'll be, your doing it Twi" AppleJack smiled up as she sat on the picnic blanket.

"This is gonna be so cool, we're gonna have a celebration and there's gonna be cake and games" PinkyPie ranted about how they would congratulate her on learning how to fly. Fluttershy smiled getting near Twilight preparing to help her just in case she messed up. "Oh darling your doing fabulous" Rarity said as Spike brought her a cup of apple juice.

Flapping a bit more she decided she was going to try and fly a circle. Leaning forward a bit she lost her train of thought when Rainbow Dash yelled "there ya go!". Trying and failing to catch herself she ran into a tree falling on her back looking up "aww it's hopeless" she sighed rolling to her feet. "No it's not, practice make perfect remember" Rainbow Dash tried ,landing beside her. Fluttershy silently followed "are you alright?" she asked in her low worried tone.

"Yeah, and thanks" Twilight smiled. "Don't worry Twilight I'm sure you'll get the hang of it" Spike said eating his rewarded gem he got from the generous pony. Sitting down she gave a half hearted smile at him "I hope your right spike" she said.

"Don't be like that sugar cube, you did the best you could" AppleJack tried. "Yes and you always have tommorow to try, dear, I know if it was a masterpiece and I just couldn't get one little seem right, I'd try everything I possibly could to make it absolutely perfect" Rarity said remembering her masterpieces of outfits she was working on.

Twilight smiled and laughed "alright we'll try again tommorow" she said making the others smile, PinkyPie randomly shot a confetti cannon and the afternoon went on as usual.

That night ,after spike had went to bed, Twilight snuck downstairs and pulled out a book lit a candle and read through it. She did this with several books. 'Ugh still nothing I don't already know about flying' she thought, then remembered the old castle down in the everfree forest. Quickly she ran to it and pulled out several books she thought might help.

She pulled out six similar looking books she thought might be helpful "lets see..." she read the first tightly that read 'how to do anything you put your mind to'. That simply had no help at all to her, it told her everything her friends had told her earlier in the day time.

As she read through each book getting more and more depressed by the minute seeing that all they said was don't let it get you down, which made her even more depressed. After she read every book there was to know about flying, she tried once more, she flapped her wings hard and descended into the air, though she was awfully tired , making her focus dreadful sending her plummeting to the floor.

'Figures' she thought as she got up rubbing her head. All of a sudden she felt like it got eerily quiet "...Twilight~" she heard a faint voice call from in the hall, she saw a shadow of a familiar princess and realized it was princess Celestia's shadow. "Princess?" she questioned "what are you doing here, don't you have to raise the sun in a little while?" she questioned.

The shadow showed a smile "come with me twilight~ I'll help you fly~" she heard and realized it did sound like her teacher's voice. The shadow seemed to run "Princess wait!" Twilight called running after it when she got to the hall she saw the shadow once more at the end of the hall and ran after it ,now hearing hoof steps. She followed the shadow and noise until it stopped at a long hall way, suddenly she felt like the shadow wasn't the princess at all.

Twilight was about to run back home when she saw a glow at the end of the hall way, a spotlight gleamed on a podium. Laying closed on the podium was a book that looked brand new. It's as if it hadn't been touched and just appeared out of mid air.

It's cover shinied in the spotlight. Twilight being her ever so brainy self, found the books condition enchanting, especially because of how old and torn down the castle was. Slowly she made her way to the book as the spot light barely dimmed so she could see the cover when she walked up a few steps. She read the books cover aloud "Book of Wishes" she said.

Using her magic she opened the book, the back of the cover said, this book belongs to- the rest was scribbled out with a dark pitch black ink. She turned the page and started to read , she didn't know why but she felt the need to read this book as if it were being read to the world.

"Dear reader, the following book is to help with anything you may need, to activate the book you must close it, put a hand to the cover and say what it is that you wish" she read. 'Hand? don't you mean hoof?' she questioned thinking maybe it was just a small error.

She did as it said and closed the book and put a hoof to it and said aloud "I wish to learn how to fly" she said ,the book glew a bright purple and poof the name of the cover changed to Book of Flying. Twilight beamed at this happy to have found it, forgetting exactly how she found it at the moment. Quickly she opened it the back of the cover remained the same, but as for the first page, it change.

"You have just grown wings and are ready to fly, but sadly all your life, you have never had the wings of the pegasi, just a horn of a regular unicorn" she read thinking this book sounded like it was written by the rhyming Zebra Zakora. "If you wish to fly good and right, then chant this and you just might" she read then turned the page.

Reading over the spell a couple of times she got it and smiled her horn started to glow with magic as she concentrated "nights are dark and days are too, now all shall be bright for me ,Twilight!" she exclaimed chanting it a few time before her horn exploded with magic at the book making her tumble back off the stage like steps. She closed her eye's in fright at the sudden blast and looked up to see darkness.

The spotlight was gone, as was the long hall, the book, the white concrete stage, and the matching podium. She shook her head looking around she was back in the library ,remembering just seconds before she 'left' she had a failed attempt at flying and hit her head. Looking down she sighed "just a dream" she sighed, not noticing the six matching books had dissapeared. Silently and a bit sadly she left the castle. 'Like there could ever be a book that's enchanted like that' she sighed at the ridiculous thought.

More chapters coming soon, hope you like!
