Magical Disaster
It was a sunny day in Ponyville as everypony was waking up to see the sun shining through their windows. Everypony had slept to midday because of Pinkie Pie's latest party. It went from yestermorn, through the entire day and ended at 1:00 in the next morning. Twilight and Applejack decided to stay behind at Sugarcube Corner to help Pinkie with packing up. All 3 of them had to share the load of putting away 10 different 'pin the tail on the pony' stations, the leftovers of 4 large cakes that Mr and Mrs Cake had baked especially for this occasion, 2 tubs full of water for apple bobbing and had to clean up the entire of Sugarcube Corner.
When they had finished, it was already midday. "Wow, that took us 11 hours to do." Twilight said as she polished off the surface of a bench. "Yeah it was 11 hours!" The party pony said, "11 hours of fun!" a yawn from Applejack drew their attention. "Well Ah'm beat, Ah could sleep 'till the next harvest season. *Yawn*. Anyway, thanks again Pinkie for throwing this here party, that was mighty kind of ya." "Did you have fun? Because that's the most important part of having parties." Twilight and Applejack could that Pinkie was still full of energy, like always. "I think I speak for both Applejack and I when I say that we had fun. Right Applejack?" As she looked towards Applejack, Twilight saw that she was already falling asleep, "*Snore*, Huh? Oh yeah, I did have fun." "Then my work here is done." Said Pinkie and with that she fell on to the floor, sound asleep. "Let's make sure we don't wake her." Whispered Twilight to the nearly asleep workhorse, "Sure thing Twi, *Yawn*, Ah think Ah'll be on mah way home now. See ya sometime after Ah've had a long sleep. *Yawn*." And with that the orange pony exited the room leaving Twilight standing alone in the shining sunlight. She didn't leave straight after Applejack but instead stayed a bit longer to put Pinkie to bed and organize everything like she would do in her own home. When she finally did leave, she was just about ready to collapse from exhaustion. Twilight teleported back to the library and into her bed, nearly giving Spike who had been sleeping a heart attack, and much like Pinkie fell asleep instantly.
When Twilight did wake up it was late at night and everything was quiet. She trotted downstairs only to see Owlicious on his perch awake and aware. "Who." Was what he greeted Twilight with. "Hello Owlicious. Why does everything look so… Dusty?" asked the purple unicorn. "Who." "Never mind." Twilight set to dusting the place until it looked like nothing had ever happened. "There, much better." She said to herself. When she sat down at her desk she saw a book that she didn't remember being there, opened to a page. "Huh, I wonder what this is about." She said to herself again, "Who?" the owl said, thinking that Twilight was addressing him. "Don't worry Owlicious." Twilight said to him.
The book was called 'Mysteries of Time' and was open to a page with a spell on it that allowed the user to take them and up to 5 guests to a place back in time. "Maybe this is the spell that Discord used to show me his riddle again." She thought, careful not to speak it out loud. Twilight instantly wanted to try it out but decided to take her friends along with her. "After all, I can take them all with me." For the rest of the night, she flicked through the book taking in all that she could so that she was prepared for anything… Unexpected… To happen.
