It was dark yet she could see. Princess Luna was somewhere she has never been before. It wasn't like the Everfree forest for even though it was dangerous the Everfree forest was still familiar to her. Suddenly she was in a town overgrown by jagged thorns trees and thick bushes black and green with age. She saw what looked like statues of ponies everywhere some looked like they were in the middle of doing something while the rest looked frozen in fear. Looking up Princess Luna saw a big creepy castle mostly made of vines and foliage than actual stone. Its dark towers shadowed the town she was in.

Again she was somewhere else inside the bleak castle. A feeling of unease settled in Princess Luna's stomach as she walked the darkened halls her only light was the glow from her horn. As she walked she saw that the number of statue ponies were growing thicker. She finally saw that the statue pony's lead to a hallway making it harder to walk between them as to how many ponies there were. Princess Luna broke through the crowd. As she looked around the statue ponies looked like they were in the middle of a fight. Luna made her horn glow brighter to see a statue bigger than the rest. The uneasy feeling in her stomach formed a heavy not and as if of their own accord her hooves moved against her will toward the larger statue.

She gasped as she saw that it was an alicorn, a male alicorn. The closer Luna got the more sinister the alicorn looked. Her face was merely inches form his, her horn illuminating his face. With out warning the statues eyes flashed open glowing a malevolent red. Then with a wicked smile he pounced onto Luna.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Princess Luna cried falling out of her bed.

A guard burst into Princess Luna's room, "Your Majesty are you alright!?"

Princess Luna was in her room. The star-y night design of her room brought her little comfort.

Panting heavily Luna answered, "No. I must speak with my sister. Take me to her, quickly."

"Follow me then Your Majesty," the same guard stated with a bow.

Off they rushed to Princess Celestia.

"Spike! Spike where are you!?" Twilight called out in her crystal castle, "A girl can't find things here."

All of a sudden there was a great blinding flash. The entire castle radiated a pure white light.

"Gah!" Twilight shouted covering her eyes.

The light spread all through out the castle it's glow flashing out wards blinding half of ponyville including myself. The white light lasted for only a couple of seconds then it disappeared.

"What was that?" the alicorn asked herself.

"Twilight! Twilight!" Spike yelled rushing towards her.

"Spike there you are. Are you alright?" Twilight asked rushing to her little dragon friend.

"I'm fine, but come on you need to see this," Spike said quickly while leading Twilight to the throne room.

Quick as can be they got to the throne room to see that the map was up.

"Look. Something new appeared on the map after that big flash of light happened," Spike explained while pointed to the northern part of the Equestrian map.

Twilight studied it, "Spike get the girls. They're going to need to see this."

With a salute Spike said, "Yes ma'am," then rushed off to get Twilights friends.

"Discord would you like another cucumber sandwich with your chocolate milk?" Fluttershy asked at their little picnic outside her house.

"I would love to my dear but I am positively stuffed," The draconequus said and to show further how stuffed he was he made his body swell like a balloon.

The yellow pegasus giggled, "Very well. Lets clean up our picnic then," Fluttershy stated.

Suddenly Discord was struck with a massive shiver running up his back making all of him wiggle like a worm.

"Oh my. Are you alright," the concerned Fluttershy asked Discord.

"I'm quite alright my dear," Discord stated after his shivers passed. Then with a snap of his eagle claw hand the picnic was put away and in Fluttershy's house, "But you my dear little pony need to go to Twilight's castle right away."

"Oh dear. Did something happen," the soft-spoken pegasus asked worried.

"I can't be sure. I'll meet you at the castle later. Thank you for your hospitality," with a bow the draconequus disappeared in a flash.

"I better be going then," Fluttershy said to herself as she trotted into ponyville to Twilights place.

Slowly and steadily Joy started to feel her senses coming back to her. First she felt that she was on the ground and also on something else. Her nose quivered at the smell of something slightly unpleasant entering her nose. Joy's eyes opened slightly squinted as she sat up. Looking around she saw that it was sunny and bright out and she was in some sort of grassy back ally-way.

"Where am I," Joy asked herself.

Looking down on herself she saw she was sitting in a pile of trash.

Quickly Joy jumped up onto her feet and started patting the back of her sweatpants and shirt in disgust, "Eww, gross, gross, gross," she said to herself.

After she was done with her dance of grossness she spotted the bejeweled book by the trash pile. Joy picked it up in anger.

"Alright you. Where am I?"

The book didn't respond.

"Not talking hu. Guess I'll find out myself."

Tucking the book under her arm Joy went to the nearest ally-way exit. The sight of what she saw froze her in place. Everything was so bright and colorful, it was unnatural to Joy but what really stood out were the ponies. Ponies everywhere of different colors and shapes. Ponies with horns or with wings. Laughing, talking, bouncing.

Oh wait! That's me! The bouncing one is me. Wow, look at me go. (looks at self) Maybe I should lay off of the sugar…. Naaaaa. Anyway back to the story.

Out of the corner of her eye Joy saw that someone was going to walk by the ally-way entrance. Quickly without thinking Joy hid behind the trash pile. A blue earth pony with pink swirly mane and tail was dragging along a trash bag, without seeing Joy the blue pony threw the trash bag on top of her.

Mrs. Cake looked at the mess before her and sighed, "Those raccoons have been going through our trash again. I need to get Fluttershy on there case."

Mrs. Cake walked away with a shake of her head. After a couple of minutes Joy popped up from out of the garbage gasping for air and quickly got out of the there.

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh," Joy whispered panicky to herself while clutching the book hard, "That was Mrs. Cake. I'm behind Sugar Cube Corner. This is Ponyville. How is this possible? Why am I not a pony?"

As she quietly panicked Joy walked deeper into the back streets and ally-ways of Ponyville.

"Okay Joy just calm down," she told herself, "Everything will be just fine. You know how these ponies will react if they see you so you just have to stay away from them long enough to figure out how to go back home."

Joy heard a sudden gasp. Joy froze and turned to see a magic mint colored unicorn with a cyan colored mane and tail with one white streak going through both mane and tail. The unicorn stared at Joy with wonderment and excitement but didn't make a move.

"Uh Hi," Joy said with a wave.

The unicorn let out all of her air and fainted.

"Lyraaaa! Lyraaaa!" A voice called out.

Joy quickly ran away muttering to herself, "Crud, crud, crud, oh triple crud."

As Joy ran she didn't know where to go so she got lost pretty quickly. Deciding to take a breather Joy leaned against a wall to catch her breath.

"Oh, dear. That was Lyra. Oh jeez, the human enthusiast herself has seen me. I wish I could be happy about that. What am I going to do?" Joy asked herself quietly.

"AHA! GOTCH YOU!" some one shouted then there was the sound of fingers snapping.

With a screech Joy turned around to see who else now knew that she exists in a world that she thought she shouldn't be in. As she turned though Joy saw that her surroundings were becoming larger, she felt like she was moving through molasses and she couldn't move her fingers off of her book. Then she was lying on the ground unable to move, unable to talk, unable to do anything but think.

There was another snap sound of fingers and Joy felt her stomach flip as she suddenly found that she was in the paw of someone. The creature of what ever it was, got right into her face. It was the head of a gray-faced horse. He had yellow eyes with red irises and white pupils. He had shaggy white eyebrows and a matching goat beard. One fang protruded from his mouth.

"Oh my gosh, it's Discord," Joy thought, "Did he turn me into a doll?"

"Hmmmm, a human. I haven't seen one of your kind in a long time," Discord said to Joy, "I know exactly what to do with you."

Without another word Discord opened his brown fury chest to reveal a small empty brown fury chamber. The draconequus threw Joy into the chamber and shut the door.

"Ow! Hey! Be gentle," Joy thought in the dark furry chamber.

After that Joy heard the sound of fingers snapping again and felt her stomach flip.
