((Spike's P.O.V ))

I woke up and somehow, I was sleeping in top of a book, Twilight had spent all the night searching for books, making flash cards, you know, the usual stuff she does when Celestia calls her to Canterlot. She had called yesterday morning, but she wanted her to go today. When she was ready to go, she levitated me and rushed to the door and to the train station.

When we got there, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie, Fluttershy and Rarity were waiting for her and had presents in their hooves, so she wouldn't feel nervous. Rainbow's gift was a Daring Do book for her to read in the train, AJ gave her a box full of apple fritters and apple juice, Pinkie had a cupcake, but it was special because it was her body and mane colors and a cookie on top, and it had the shape of her cutie mark. Rarity gave her a new saddlebag, because her old one was already broken and dirty. At last it was Fluttershy's gift, it was unusual, it was a whitish purple on the middle, glowing orb. She found it in the path at the begining of the Everfree Forest.

"I-I saw it and thought it was special, think of it as a good luck charm." Fluttershy said, with her normal soft voice.

She said thanks for everything and left, still levitating me, to the train.

((Twilight's P.O.V))

I. AM. FREAKING. OUT!
The princess asked me to go to Canterlot and I still don't know what for! I tried to calm down but it was really hard! So I decided to look at the gifts my friends gave me, I ate some of the apple fritters and the juice that AJ gave me and they were really delicious! They calmed me down, but just a bit. I looked at the orb that Flutters gave me, I sensed some kind of powerful magic in it but it was probably just the nerves in me. I read the Daring Do book and before I knew it, the train arrived to Canterlot. I levitated the snoring Spike and headed to Princess Celestia's castle. The orb was starting to glow a light pink and deep blue light, but I thought it was only the light on the city. If I only knew....
