"I don't normally freak out over dreams, but the one I had last night was just so freaky that I can't get it out of my mind." Twilight said to her friends as they trotted down the streets of Ponyville to the town square where Luna would be waiting for them. The black pony had written a scroll early in the morning that arrived through Spike asking her to come and speak to her about an important matter involving Celestia. Twilight almost immediately went out the door to meet her lesser-known princess and Pinkie pie followed, seemingly oblivious to Twilight's protests. Along the way Pinkie had invited most of her friends she had passed by on the streets so they could meet the princess, and then come to her house for a 'I met the moon princess party' afterwards.
"Don't worry about it too much, I have weird dreams too after long days working and..." Applejack started to say before being interrupted by Twilight holding up her hoof in an uncharacteristically rude gesture.
"This was different, in my dream you were all transformed into some kind of flesh-eating zombies who tried to eat me, Raindow Dash, and Celestia. There were spiders and worms and blood and Princess Celestia's head talking to me about how you guys ate her body while she watched and..."
"Please don't talk about that stuff here Twilight, the corn might hear you." Pinkie pie said with an almost horridied as she started running away.
"Where are you going!" Rainbow dash called out to her naive pink friend.
"To find some corn so I can cover their ears!" Pinkie called back as she continued running, causing the rest of her friend to breathe a sigh as they continued walking, completely ignoring the departed Pinkie pie.
"I don't know guys, i've tried to find out what the dream means but none of my dream books are giving me too much information. Maybe it's an omen or something." Twilight said, causing her friends to collectively sigh again.
"I don't know about that dear, but I do know that I would never allow myself to become a zombie. I mean, just the though of all that blood on any of my dresses make me sick." Rarity said with an almost violent shudder at the thought, causing Applejack and Rainbow Dash to chuckle.
"Ah Twilight Sparkle, i'm very glad to see you." A black pony spoke from beside the group of ponies that caused them to jump.
"Where did ya'll come from?" Applejack asked, still slightly shocked from her appearance. Luna didn't smile at the display and immediately touched twilight's forepaw.
"No time to explain, Celestia is in great need of Twilight right at this moment." Luna said in a fairly fast paced tone as her body started to hum with magic.
"Why does the princess need me?" Twilight asked, causing Luna's magical aura to fade slightly as she answered.
"She doesn't really need you, she just thinks that having her student there with her at this moment would be beneficial." Luna explained, causing Twilight to turn her head slightly in confusion.
"But if she doesn't need me then why did..."
"She's dying and she wants you and I there beside her." Luna quickly explained before her magic teleported her and Twilight towards the castle, leaving a small group of speechless ponies behind.
