Attention: This story takes place between Season 2 and Season 3 of the MLP:FIM show.
Twilight Sparkle sped as fast as she possibly could to catch the departing train to Canterlot.
Just a few hours previously, she had received an urgent message from Princess Celestia ordering her to arrive immediately at the castle. However, just as Twilight was about to alert her friends, she noticed that the letter stated that she must go alone.
Twilight boarded the train and found an empty seat. As she gazed out the window next to her, she felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. She was beyond stressed out.
How will Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy be without me? she thought.
Will I be able to handle this task using purely the spells I studied?
