Chapter 1.
A Book?
"Are you and Drago sure everything's ready for tonight, Twilight?" asked Spike.
"One hundred procent sure," said Twilight.
"And we couldn't have done it without our number one assistants," said Drago.
"Ah, it was nothing," said Skyress while looking around the room.
They were in the library with Twilight Sparkle's boyfriend Marvin X-2 and his Guardian and Drago's mate Dialga. They were going to have a Slumber party with their friends AppleJack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, their boyfriends Peter Le Pew, Lionwing, Roobarb, Lumpy, the Pink Panther and their Guardians Wolfurio, Helios, Trister, Boulderon, Taylean, Virizion, Rayquaza, Suicune, Groudon and Delphox.
The library had been set up for the Slumber party. There was a table with snacks and drinks and there were 25 sleeping bags on the ground.
"I'm so excited for tonight's slumber party. We style each other's mane and Guardian, tell ghost stories, eat s'mores and so on," said Twilight.
"Yeah," agreed Drago, "After our first slumber party with Rarity, Taylean, the Pink Panther, Delphox, Applejack, Wolfurio, Peter and Virizion, We are prepared for everything."
"Hopefully, there's also something that me and Skyress can do and not only that girly stuff." Spike said motioning with his fingers.
Skyress giggled a bit.
"Don't worry, Spike," she said to her partner, "It'll be fun for everypony, guardian...and dragon."
Spike smiled at this, then he realised something.
"Oh, maybe me and Skyress can go into town to see if we can find some delicious gemstones for tonight."
Twilight and Drago couldn't help but roll their eyes with smiles. "Okay, see you two later."
Spike opened the door and he and Skyress went into town.
Spike and Skyress had both searched the whole day for gemstones and other things they liked. Till the time they found what they wanted, it was nighttime. They walked happily back to the castle.
"Yum. Finally, after hours of searching, we finally have some." Spike said to Skyress.
Suddenly, they looked at the clocktower.
"Uh oh, better hurry or else we'll be late," said Skyress.
But suddenly, something caught their eye. In the star-filled blanket of darkness, a big star shone very brightly. Spike and Skyress couldn't keep their eyes from it, it was so beautiful to look at. Suddenly, the star began to shine even brighter and then it began to move. It flew very fast above Spike and Skyress and it began to descend somewhere in the Everfree Forest. The impact caused a huge wave of light that everypony and everyguardian could see, but for the moment only Spike and Skyress saw it.
"What was that?" he asked Skyress.
"It looked like it went towards the Castle of the Two Sisters," answered Skyress, "We'd better check it out."
They ran towards the entrance to the forest and Spike hesitated a little. He knew how dangerous the Everfree Forest was, but he had his Guardian with him to protect him. So he gathered all his strength and went into the forest. Little did he know that two small yellow eyes were watching him and Skyress.
Meanwhile, the Mane 6, their boyfriends and all of their Guardians were already enjoying their slumber party. Rainbow Dash, Helios, Lionwing, Rayquaza, Applejack, Wolfurio, Peter Le Pew and Virizion were having a pillow fight, Fluttershy, Rarity and Twilight were giving each other make-overs, Pinkie, Trister, Roobarb and Suicune was making a few s'mores, Marvin, the Pink Panther and Lumpy were playing a board game and Drago, Dialga, Boulderon, Taylean, Groudon and Delphox were eating some of the snacks.
"Ah, isn't this delightful?" asked Rarity.
"It sure is," said Applejack while still playing with Rainbow, Lionwing, Helios, Rayquaza, Wolfurio, Peter and Virizion.
"Wait till you all taste some of my self-made s'mores. This time, me, Roobarb, Trister and Suicune putted a secret ingredient in it," said Pinkie and came close to Fluttershy.
"Do you know what the secret ingredient is?" She asked.
Pinkie looked left and right. Fluttershy was about to say something, but Pinkie interrupted by whispering in her ear.
"A secret."
"Um, I kinda had that thought you would say that," said Fluttershy.
"Say, Twilight," said Lumpy looking at Twilight from the board game, "Where's Spike and Skyress?"
"Me and Drago do not know. They were looking for some gems for the party, but they still have not returned yet," said Twilight.
"Oh, I hope nothing happened to them," said Boulderon as he stuffed a chocolate into his mouth.
"Me and Pinkie hope so too. I mean, they could be killed by timberwolves, being clobbered by mean teenage dragons or being killed by something so strange and so mysterious that we can't even explain," said Roobarb making Fluttershy very nervous and making her tremble. It even made Twilight panick.
"Roobarb. Don't say that. It's one of those things that can give us a heart attack," said Delphox.
"Yeah, besides, Spike is a smart guy and Skyress is his Guardian. I'm sure nothing's going to happen to them," said Marvin.
Twilight and Drago began to think and suddenly, the door opened revealing the tiny dragon and the Sky Phoenix. The girls, their boyfriends and all of their Guardians let out a sigh of relief knowing their friend and his Guardian were okay.
"Skyress, where have you and Spike been?" asked Drago.
"Sorry, we're late. But me and Skyress just saw the strangest thing" explained Spike.
"What strange thing?" asked Twilight.
"There was a star that shone very brightly and suddenly it fell down. It landed in Celestia and Luna's old castle," said Skyress.
"A falling star? Was there any damage?" asked Drago.
"Not a crack. It fell in the gardens. It glowed very brigthly. But then came the weird part, instead of a star Skyress found this," said Spike as he showed Twilight the book.
"A book?" asked Rainbow and Helios with raised eyebrows.
"Spike, you and Skyress didn't take another book from the library without permission like last time, did you?" asked Twilight as she and Drago gave Spike and Skyress firm looks.
"No. We didn't. This was on top of a pile of rocks. We have never seen a book like this before" said Skyress.
"Ooooooh. Mysterious," said Trister with a smile.
"And look at the insignia," said Spike and showed her and Drago the cover of the book.
Twilight and Drago looked closely at the symbol of the book. Spike and Skyress were both right, this was an unfamiliar symbol.
"What do you think it could mean?" asked Diagla.
"I have no idea," said Twilight as she tried to open the book, but it won't open. There was a lock on the right side.
"It's locked. We don't even have a key for it," said Drago.
"Don't you have a spell to open it?" asked Virizion.
"I...could try that," said Twilight.
Her horn glowed and aimed it at the lock before it got hit by a laser of magic. Twilight grunted while she did her best to open it, but suddenly the lock began to shake and fired a bolt of electricity towards Twilight which made her fall on the floor. Her spell didn't work.
"That's one strong lock," said Wolfurio.
"Oh my goodness, Twilight. Are you okay?" asked Fluttershy as Marvin helped Twilight up.
"Uh, I'm fine, Fluttershy. I've never faced a book like that before. And whatever is inside it, it's really powerful magic," said Twilight while rubbing her head.
Spike looked at the insignia on the book and placed his claw on it. Nopony nor Guardian knew that the book felt Spike's claw, some kind of energy began to spark.
"Great, how do we know what's in it if you can't open it?" said Rayquaza.
"Hey, Twilight tried her best," said Marvin.
Suddenly, the book shot a pillar of energy through the roof. Spike quickly backed away. His 25 friends noticed the pillar of energy.
"Great, now me and Twilight have to fix that roof," said Drago.
Pinkie, Trister, Roobarb and Suicune putted on some sunglasses. "Oooooh. Shiny."
"What did you do, Spike?" asked Skyress.
"I just touched it," answered Spike.
"YOU WANT TO KNOW THE KNOWLEDGE FROM THIS BOOK, THAT I KNOW. BUT YOU NEED TO PROVE YOURSELF TO KNOW IF YOU'RE WORTHY!" said a loud female voice from the book and suddenly some kind of holographic circle with many kinds of symbol appeared in front of them. "CHOOSE WISE AND DO NOT LINGER! THE CHOICE IS YOURS!"
With that, the ponies, their boyfriends, the dragon and all of their Guardians looked at each other in confusion while the holographic circle kept floating horizontal.
"Wha...What do you mean?" asked Twilight.
A burst of magic appeared in the center of the circle showing a symbol. Pinkie looked at it with excitement in her eyes.
"Oooh," she said, Is it a guessing game? I like those games. Wait, wait, wait! Don't say it! It's a..., It's a..."
"It looks like an apple," said Boulderon looking at it curiously.
Twilight, Marvin, Drago and Dialga began to concentrate and kept looking at the circle and the symbol. They also noticed the other symbols on the circle.
"I think we need to choose the matching symbol," said Drago.
"Oh. There it is. I see it," said Pinkie and pointed at the apple symbol on the circle.
Twilight stepped closer and slowly placed her hoof on the circle. When she rotated the circle a bit, her hoof flinched back. But then she placed it back and rotated the circle so the apple symbol was in front of the big apple symbol. The big apple symbol exploded a bit and changed into a new symbol.
"Hey, now it's a sun," said Peter.
Twilight and Drago began to think again.
"I think we need speed and teamwork to win this challenge. Help us with this," said Drago.
"I see the sun symbol," said the Pink Panther.
Twilight rotated the circle until the big symbol exploded again and took a new symbol. This time it was a lamp. This time, Rainbow and Lionwing rotated the circle and the symbol exploded again. The pillar of energy became stronger.
"Hurry, who knows what will happen if that pillar enlarges," said Twilight.
The new symbol is a glass slipper.
"A glass slipper," said Delphox.
"Over there!" said Applejack.
Twilight rotated the circle again and the symbol exploded once more. The new symbol is a snow flake. Marvin rotated it and the symbol exploded. During the time, different symbols appeared. A rose, a butterfly, a jack o' lantern, a lion cub, a music note, A sea shell and a chinese dragon. Finally, the last symbol was a medal with a cloud and a lightning bolt. Time was running out.
Drago quickly rotated the circle with the matching symbol in front and all of a sudden the pillar of energy disappeared. The ponies, their boyfriends, the dragon and all of their Guardians were covering their eyes from the light.
"You have proven yourself worthy, noble ones. Please, accept your reward," said the Female voice and in a flash a key appeared.
The girls, their boyfriends and all of their Guardians looked wide eyed at the key. Twilight took it with her magic and examined it for a while.
"Wow, what was that all about?" asked Rayquaza.
Twilight looked at the book again and slowly placed the key in the keyhole. The keyhole accepted the key and the lock opened.
"It's open," said Skyress.
Twilight opened the book and she saw a message on the first page of the book. She read it out loud.

"This is a storybook," said Drago.
"A storybook?" asked Helios with a raised eyebrow.
"Oooh. You mean a book with stories that tells about princes, princesses and dragons and such?" asked Pinkie with excitement.
"When you say it that way, than yes," said Drago.
"Oh my goodness. Can you read one, Twilight?" asked Fluttershy.
"Well, I don't know..." said Twilight.
"Please, please, please," said Pinkie and Roobarb.
"Pretty please," said Fluttershy, Boulderon and Lumpy and the five looked at Twilight with puppy dog eyes.
Twilight and Drago, of course, couldn't resist.
"Well, okay. Who knows. it might be fun," said Drago.
"I'm pretty excited," said Rarity while she, Taylean, the Pink Panther and Delphox laid on their bellies.
All the rest of the girls, their boyfriends and all of their Guardians sat on their haunches or on their bellies. Spike and Skyress also sat down.
"Alright, let's read the first one," said Twilight and went to the first story of the book.
Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs
Twilight read the title and then the story.
Once upon a time,
there lived a lovely little Princess named Snow White.
Her vain and wicked stepmother, the Queen, feared that some day, Snow White's beauty would surpass her own. So she dressed
"How awful," said Fluttershy as she cuddle Lumpy.
"My word. I may be fabulous, but I would never do such thing to my family, boyfriend, Guardian or underlings," said Rarity.
Twilight read further.
Each day, the vain Queen consulted her Magic Mirror,
"Magic Mirror on the Wall,
Who is the fairest one of all?"
..and as long as the mirror answered "You are the fairest one of all",
Snow White was safe from the Queen's cruel jealousy.
"Whoa, that queen has a real problem," said Skyress.
"You can say that again," said Wolfurio.
"Oh. I hope that Snow White likes animals like my Girlfriend and her Guardian does," said Lumpy as he put his arm around Fluttershy.
"I think we're about..." said Drago. But before he could finish, a large purple portal was released from the book. It suck Twilight inside.
"WOW! HEY! AAAAAAAAHHH!" screamed Twilight
"TWILLGHT!" screamed Marvin and Spike as they ran into the Portal after her.
"TWILLGHT! MARVIN! SPIKE!" screamed Drago, Diagla and Skyress as they ran into the Portal after them. Next Applejack got suck inside the Portal.
"APPLEJACK!" screamed Peter as he ran into the Portal after her.
"APPLEJACK! PETER!" screamed Wolfurio and Virizion as they ran into the Portal after them. Next Pinkie Pie got suck inside the Portal.
"PINKIE PIE!" screamed Roobarb as he ran into the Portal after her.
"PINKIE PIE! ROOBARB!" screamed Trister and Suicune as they ran into the Portal after them. Next Rarity got suck inside the Portal.
"RARITY!" screamed the Pink Panther as he ran into the Portal after her.
"RARITY! PINK PANTHER!" screamed Taylean and Delphox as they ran into the Portal after them. Next Rainbow Dash got suck inside the Portal.
"RAINBOW DASH!" screamed Lionwing as he ran into the Portal after her.
"RAINBOW DASH! LIONWING!" screamed Helios and Rayquaza as they ran into the Portal after them. Finally Fluttershy got suck inside the Portal.
"FLUTTERSHY!" screamed Lumpy as he into the Portal after her.
"FLUTTERSHY! LUMPY!" screamed Boulderon and Groudon as they ran into the Portal after them. With all of them sucked in, the book quickly began to close. Showing the cover. All the ponies, their boyfriends, dragon and all of their Guardians began to swirl around in some kind of vortex through space. It kept going faster and faster until a bright light shone at the end covering the entire area with light.
