As the sunset glimmered over Ponyville, a certain purple alicorn trotted over from the hospital back to her sparkly crystal castle. Her blue mane waved in the subtle wind. Her purple eyes were full of joy and hope. She trotted up the yellow stairs to the main door. She opened it with her pink magic, and closed it behind her. It was already quite dark. Much darker than what she had expected. It was understandable, since the days became shorter the closer they got to winter. Luckily, she didn’t have to participate in Winter wrap up next spring. She was busy with her family.
 
Suddenly, she heard hoof sound echoing in the emptiness of the castle. A gray unicorn filly peered at her mother from the stairs.
