"This is definitely not what I was expecting." These are the words that I am currently using to describe my current situation.
My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I wish I never listened to Pinkie Pie's words. I certainly hope we don't die, because Princess Celestia would love to receive one of my letters on this.
A young pony stands in her room. Today is just a normal day to her. But for us, it is not, today this pony will take part in something that is possibly bigger then herself and everypony she has ever met. Her name is Twilight Sparkle and she is a Unicorn Pony. She has the ability to use magic, just like any other Unicorn pony, but she is very skilled at it. Twilight is a book worm and is often found at her library/tree home where she is assisted by her friend Spike. She is very new to the idea of friendship as she has often relied upon her smarts to solve situations.
Today Twilight has received a gift from her Princess, a computer! Computers are a relatively new invention in Equestria and nopony has had one for very long. Being a book enthusiast, Twilight hadn't given much thought to owning a computer, but her friend CupcakeTaster insisted that she needed one. CT was a strange pony but Twilight had learned to trust her. Twilight had decided it was time to check out the new computer. She clopped over to it and booted it up. The Computer had come with some programs already on it, the main one being a game called Sstble. Sstble was the reason CT insisted that all her friends get computers. To communicate with each other, the computer also came with a chat program called LetterSender. This was obviously a ridiculous name for a program, but the technology was new so it could be forgiven. Twilight's account on LetterSender was BookEnthusiast (a name that CT obviously made for her.) and she had 5 friends to chat with. CupcakeTaster was online but none of her other friends were. Twilight looked at the screen unamused, why should she play these childish games when she could be doing something worth her time, like reading books?
Oh? It seems CT wants to talk. Twilight had no choice but to reply.
CT: hiya twilight!
CT: err, i mean BE!
BE: You know what my name is, you don't need to use my LetterSender screen name you know?
CT: but its more FUN this way!
BE: Fine, I will play along for now, CT, but I really should get back to studying.
CT: but we need you for this GAME, it wont be any FUN unless we have all six of us playing!
BE: I'm aware, when will the others be joining in?
BE: And will this take long?
CT: i think AnimalGriever is supposed to get on soon!
BE: Well she had better hurry, I want to write to Princess Celestia about what I have learned today.
CT: what have you learned!
BE: That technology is no match for books, and that friendship is magic.
CT: huh, how do you figure that!
BE: I looked into the clouds and saw it.
CT: really!
CT: that is AMAZING!
BE: Oh CT, you cant see things in the clouds, its just water vapor.
CT: im not listening la la la!
CT: now I want to look at clouds!
CT: ill be back soon!
CT: maybe ill see TA!
CT had gotten off of her computer. Some ponies were just strange. Twilight knew this for sure, but that didn't mean that they were any less her friend. Twilight had decided to see what her assistant Spike was up to.
Spike was a baby dragon who Twilight's magic had hatched. Ever since they had been inseparable. Both of them were sure that without the other, they would be lost.
Spike looked about, but all he can recognize is the glow of the Kernel sprite. The meteor had impacted right in front of him with so much force that he may have well been hit with a mallet. He Tried calling for Twilight but there was no response. The meteor had left Spike off balance and weak. He needed to find his friend and figure out what was happening. He began to crawl his way towards the Kernel sprite...
Now where could that little dragon be? Twilight had searched all around her home and even outside. There was no sign of him anywhere. Maybe he was out trying to impress AT again? Maybe this time he will have luck on his side? That or magic, you can always count on magic. Twilight walked over to her favorite book: 'Magic and its many practical uses.' She made sure to Captchalogue it in her 'Magic Sylladex.' This was her most favorite Sylladex because all she had to do was perform the proper spell to retrieve her item. The only downside was, the more valuable the item, the harder the spell needed to retreive it. Twilight was glad that she was not in any immediate danger so she could use an unlimited amount of time to conjure up the spells for her Sylladex. This would definitely not hamper her or her friends in any way in the future. She was happy about this because she saw no irony whatsoever.
Twilight had been away from the computer for quite some time. Maybe some of her other friends had signed on? She made her way over to the screen and saw that indeed one had decided to send her a chat invite. It was GraciousApples.
GA: Uhh, hello?
GA: Dang technology, who needs it?
GA: BE, can yah hear me?
BE: Yes, I can hear you GA.
BE: I don't suppose you have seen Spike around lately?
GA: I'm sorry sugar cube, I haven't.
GA: But I'll keep an eye out for 'em.
GA: Say, do you know when CT wanted to start this game of hers?
GA: I kinda left my workload on Big Mac.
BE: No I don't.
BE: She's such a finicky pony.
BE: last I checked she was staring at the clouds.
GA: Yeah that sounds like CT alright.
GA: Well I'll be in touch I 'spose.
GA: G'bye.
BE: Bye.
GA was a good friend. Defiantly the kind you wanted to play a game alongside. A game that Twilight hoped would start soon. She looked around her room. All the books were set up perfectly. It would be a real shame if anything would happen to them.
Twilight couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was looming over the horizon. She had felt this when the return of Nightmare Moon was at hand but she had solid evidence to back that up. This feeling of fear was different. Almost like she shouldn't play this game, maybe it would be best to tell her friends to not play this game also? This was absolutely crazy, Twilight gave herself a quick hoof to the head so she could forget this nonsense. She knew that she could handle anything alongside her friends.
Twilight wished she had never played this game.
