Cadence and Shining rule the crystal empire, but they aren't married in this story.

Twilight is still a unicorn.

By the way- it's been about 5 years since I last watched mlp and I was on season 4... so if I get any details incorrect then don't hate or get mad. I'm barely getting back into the fandom.

Twilight has been studying in her library, as usual. Zecora had mentioned an artifact from the everfree forest, and Twilight wanted to know more about it's purpose.

"Spike! Have you found the book yet?" Twilight asked. She had gone through half of the books in her library and not one had the answers to what she was looking for.

"No, sorry Twi..."

Twilight sighed and closed the book she was reading out of frustration. "No way, I promised Zecora I would find out what that artifact is for! I guess I'll have to look somewhere else." She lied on the floor of her house, tired from analyzing her collection of literature.

Spike stood by Twilight, comforting her until he had the urge to belch. By instinct he tried to hold it in, but it was no use as he belched out a letter.

"Huh, a letter? Is it from Princess Celestia?" Twilight asked.

The tiny dragon picked the letter up and began to read it out loud.

"Ahem..."

"Dear Twilight,

As you know, Shining Armour's birthday is soon! We need you and your friends to help us prepare a party for him, and we are also having an annual ceremony for the crystal empire. We figured, why not celebrate both at the same time? Please come to the crystal empire whenever you can!

- Princess Cadence"

"Oh my gosh, my brother's birthday?! How could I forget?! I've been so busy studying that I forgot my own brothers birthday... What about my studies? Will I have any time to study there?!" Twilight yelled in a panic from the recent news. Spike thought about something to say to calm twilight down, when the perfect idea came to his mind.

"Don't worry Twilight! You'll still be able to spend time with Shining Armour. It's not like you COMPLETELY forgot... and look at the bright side! You'll also be able to explore the library of the crystal empire, maybe you'll find something about the artifact."

This calmed the worried unicorn down, knowing that her little dragon friend was right and her irrational thoughts were wrong.

"Thanks Spike, you're right. Gosh, I should really stop stressing over everything." She smiled in a relaxed manner, now that she felt at ease. "We should go tell everyone else. I know Pinkie will be more than happy to help out with the party!"
