Chapter 2 of Shocking Discovery

Before we go forward we must go back about a month in a Equestria. Twilight sparkle and her friends were happy always helping others. But what was worrying them was that they had faced many challenges Nightmare Moon, The Pony of the Shadows, and MANY others. But while their family members were beginning to age they weren't. Well, Twilight's sister-in-law and brother Shining Armor weren't aging either. But everypony else was.

Applebloom asked her sister "My sista, Ah'm getting bigger and Big Mac is now married to Sugar Belle and are starting a family, but you haven't aged a day since you became the element of honestly."

"Ah'm not shure what is going on Applebloom, Twilight is trying to figger it out."

In actuality, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Twilight were all confused as to why they weren't aging. This was one of the reasons why none of them were seeking mates. If something was happening to prevent them from aging they would prefer to stay single to prevent the sorrow of losing their husbands. Instead they focused on their careers, Rarity with her fashion, Rainbow Dash in the Wonderbolts, Fluttershy with her animals, Applejack with her farm work, Pinkie Pie was baby sitting the cake twins and still planning her parties, and Twilight Sparkle taking care of things as the princess of Friendship. The strange thing was though that princess Celestia was occasionally calling her to canterlot and showing her how to raise and lower the sun. Even allowing her to try it. Twilight was getting at it too, but something worried ing these recent visits however, when Twilight saw Luna she seemed depressed for some reason. Twilight had asked Starswirl what was going on with her and her friends even he said he was stumped. She asked Zecora if she had any information, but she was perplexed as well. Fluttershy had asked Sage Meadowbrook, she had no answer. Starswirl did ask Twilight how she was an alicorn.

"I finished your unfinished spell Starswirl." She chuckled nervously "Why was it unfinished anyway?"

Starswirl doesn't answer, but has a somber expression when Twilight tells him of the training that Celestia had been giving her.
Twilight asked what was wrong, but he just answered that time would tell what the future held.

Back to the present

Twilight has her friends at the castle of Friendship when she receives a message from Sunset Shimmer that she is going through the same thing. So Twilight writes her telling her to come to Equestria so that maybe Celestia can find the cause of the apparent non-aging going on. Sunset comes but little does anyone know that tragedy is about to strike.
