"So..what's the last thing on the list..." Twilight mumbled to herself. "Ah-ha! Music!"
"Who's the one running the music?" Sonic asked, only for them to hear someone saying, "Oh my. Um, stop please, everyone, umm. Excuse me, sir? I mean, no offense, but your rhythm is just a teeny-tiny bit off. Now, follow me, please. A-one, a-two, a-one two three-"
"Hello!" Twilight greeted. The girl yelped.
"Are you okay-" asked Sonic.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to frighten your birds. I'm just here to check up on the music and it's sounding beautiful." said Twilight, softly. "I'm Twilight Sparkle, what's your name?" she continued, pausing.
"I-I'm...Fluttershy.." the girl said, very quietly.
"Um...sorry, we didn't get that, could you say that again?" Sonic said.
"I'm Fluttershy..." the girl said, even quieter than before.
"Sorry, we didn't quite get that." Tails and Twilight said in unison. Fluttershy squeaked.
Twilight paused. " Well, um, it looks like your birds are back, so I guess everything's in order. Keep up the good work!"
Suddenly, Spike, the pet dog of Twilight came out of the bag. "Well that was easy."
Fluttershy gasped. "A baby dragon!" she smiled while looking in Spike's direction. "Oh I've never seen a baby dragon before, he's so cute!" she squealed.
"Well, well, well...!" Spike said.
Fluttershy squealed happily. "Oh my, he talks. I didn't know dragons could talk. That's just so incredibly wonderful I, I just don't even know what to say!"
"Well, in that case we'd better be going." said Twilight, about to leave.
"Wait, wait! What's his name?" Fluttershy said.
"I'm Spike."
"Hi Spike, I'm Fluttershy. Wow, a talking dragon! And what do dragons talk about?"
"Well, what do you wanna know?"
"Absolutely everything."
Twilight groaned.
A couple of hours later...
"...And that's the story of my whole entire life! Well, up until today. Do you wanna hear about today?"
"Oh, yes, please!"
"Gyah!"
"I am so sorry, how did we get here so fast? This is where I'm staying while in Ponyville and Spike needs his sleep." Twilight said as the group reached the Golden Oak Library...only to find Pinkie Pie, Amy, and tons, and tons of civilians there. Having a party.
"What the!?" said Twilight. She turned, only to find Sonic dancing around, he then received a slap to the face.
"Ow! Jeez what was that for!?" asked Sonic, but he did not receive an answer this time.
"Are you guys surprised!?" asked Amy and Pinkie, happily.
"Yes. As libraries are meant to be quiet," Twilight moaned.
"C'mon, Twilight." Sonic said. "No need to get moody about it!"
Twilight simply rolled her eyes.
"Well, that's silly! What kind of welcome party would this be if it were quiet? I mean, duh, bo-ring! Y'see, I saw you when you first got here, remember? You were all "hello" and I was all," she then did a large gasp, "Remember? Y'see I've never saw you before and if I've never saw you before that means you're new, 'cause I know everybody, and I mean everybody in Ponyville!" Pinkie explained. Twilight simply responded with a groan.
"And if you're new, that meant you haven't met anyone yet, and if you haven't met anyone yet, you must not have any friends, and if you don't have any friends then you must be lonely, and that made me so sad, then I had an idea, and that's why I went!" Pinkie then did the large gasp once more.
"So we thought we must throw a great big ginormous super-duper spectacular welcome party and invite everyone in Ponyville! See? And now you have lots and lots of friends!" Amy finished.
Later on in the night, Sonic had joined the party, while Twilight told Tails about 'The Mistress in the Moon', only for Spike and Sonic to enter the room.
"Hey Twilight! Pinkie Pie's starting 'pin the tail on the pony'! Wanna play?" asked Sonic and Spike.
"NO. All the people in this town are crazy!" Twilight cried.
"Finally someone agrees with me..." a voice muttered in the darkness. Shadow.
"Also, do you know what time it is!?" Twilight asked, losing her cool.
"It's the eve of the Summer Sun Celebration. Everybody has to stay up, or they'll miss the Princess raise the sun! You really should lighten up, Twilight. It's a party!" Spike told her.
Twilight mockingly imitated Spike and Sonic, he just rolled his eyes, Tails jumped slightly when he heard the door close and the music stop.
"C'mon, Twilight, it's time to watch the sunrise!" said Spike. Twilight and Tails felt a bit of anxiety, but went with Sonic and Tails anyway. Shadow mumbled something and soon followed, along with Omega.
Outside, they waited, everyone's hearts throbbed inside of them as they waited for the announcement.
"In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise, and celebrate this, the longest day of the year! And now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land, the very pony who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria..." Mayor Mare announced.
"Ready?" Fluttershy asked her birds.
"...Princess Celestia!" cried Mayor Mare.
Strangely though, Celestia didn't appear, which caused people to talk and chat, very nervously, their voices filled with worry and fear.
"Is she hiding?" asked Amy, raising her eyebrow.
"I doubt it. This doesn't feel right." Sonic said, raising his eyebrows.
"SHE'S GONE!" Rarity shrieked.
Sonic's eyes widened when he heard those words be uttered, suddenly, his emerald green eyes begun glancing rapidly as the citizens gasped loudly at the news.
With that, a woman appeared, one that Sonic, Tails and Twilight recognized. "Nightmare Moon!" they thought, panic filling their minds.
"Oh, my beloved subjects. It's been so long since I've seen your precious, little sun-loving faces." Nightmare Moon said, an evil smirk crossing her face.
"What have you done with our princess!?" asked Rainbow Dash and Mina in unison.
Nightmare Moon simply chuckled. "Why, am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am?"
"Hokey Smokes?" Amy asked.
"Queen Meanie!" Pinkie yelled.
"No! Black Snooty, Black Snooty!" the two sisters said in unison.
"Does my crown no longer count now that I have been imprisoned for a thousand years? Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs?" Nightmare Moon asked.
"I did. And I know who you are. You're the Mistress in the Moon – Nightmare Moon!" Twilight yelled.
"Well well well, somebody who remembers me. Then you also know why I'm here." Nightmare Moon sneered.
Twilight gulped. "You're here to... to..."
Nightmare Moon chuckled Remember this day, little citizens, for it is your last. From this moment forth, the night will last forever!" With that, she burst into evil laughter.
