It was a peicefull day in Ponyvillage. Queen Celestia’s sun was high in sky and not a single cloud clouded the view. Ponies walked and talked slow and leisurely. It quite calm. Even in bustling marketplace time was passing at a slower note and quietly to hoof. In fact the only place in town seemingly not affected by the peaceful weather was a certain tree like library in the middle of town, sparrow watched on curiously.
“SPIKE!” A purple unicorn said.
“Sugarcube, what you fretting over?” An oragne yellow earth pony said.
“Yeah yeah! I should be outside flying! I like flying! This weather perfect!” Said a really fast awesome blue pegasus.
“...Angle's expecting fancy lunch, um, if thats ok...meep” Said the other pegasus in the room. She said this quietly becuase she was Fluttershy and always quiet.
“Darling, could you please stop looking through your books and tell all of us what you are worried abou? All this worry is not good for one’s complexion.”
Twilight Sparkles head shot up from her book, a crazed look dominating her face. Her friends unconsiously took a step back. Twilight galloped over to the table in the middle of the room, disrupting Spike’s own pile of books. She snathced up a scroll in mouth, letting it unravel, revealing delicate handwriting and the flowing signature at the bottom from the very ruler of Equestia herself.
“Thisp ish what’s worrying me!”
Rarity gentley removes the scroll from her friend’s mouth, reading it over and letting Twilight continue talking unimpeded
“Princess Celestia sent this this morning. Evidently this morning the guards partoling the Canterlot Gardens came across the shattered remains of Discord’s statue. When the Night Guard was questioned no one reported seeing the dracoquens but one guard admitted to having seen and halped out a pegasus claiming to have gotten lost within the gardens. No one else saw the colt but Celestia wouldn’t mention it if she didn’t think it was important... though she says she thinks they’re unrelated and not to fret However Shining Armor sent me letter telling me that I was to inform him if any unfamiliar brown pegasus colts are spotted near Ponyvillage. And Luna sent a letter just an hour ago saying that she was going to send one of her personal guards for each one of us.”
Twilight was still catching her breath from her fast paced explanation when a knock came from the door. Fluttershy squeaked and dove underneath Rainbow Dash. All 5 friends stared at the door until Applejack march forward and flung it open like a pro. 6 frightful ponies stood calmly just outside door.
“This is the home of Twilight Sparkle, leader of Elements of Harmony?” Asked what was obviously the leadr of this group of guards.
The other 4 ponies blinked out of their silly filly stupor. Twilight Sparkle stepped forward towards guards going to the Applejack’s side.
“Yes, it is I. I, Twilight sparkle, the Element of Magic and I’d prefer not to be called the leader. These are my friends and we are all equal.”
All 6 lunar Guards gave a brief bow before standing and continuing to speak.
“Yes Ma’am. We are here to protect you and your friends on orders from Princess Luna, ruler and Bringer of the Night.”
Twilight nodded and motioned for all six to enter the tree while she and Applejack walked over to their three friends, Applejack bending down to help fluttershy up since she fell on her butt. The 6, gaurds entered the building, closing the door behind them. Five of them absorbed their surrounding while the leader viewed the embodiments of the Elements.
“We were given the impression their were 6 of you”
Twilight started and looked behind her at her friends. Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity...
“Where’s Pinkie?
Pinkie Pie went bounce bounce bounce. Her new pony radar went off during night and she had to find whoever had set it of. And no better way to travel than bounce bounce bounce. Pinkie Pie loved bouncing she though it magical. It was kind a like Twilight sparkle teleport spell! But with out the magic! Cuz Pinkie Pie was an earth pony she could not use that fancy stuff. She loved bouncing almost as frosting. That thought stop her bouncing. Pinkie Pie stared off into space as she thought about the frosting. This pink pony was very easily distracted. But then her radar went off again and the thoughts frosting flew from her mind. She had a pony to find. So back down the dirten path she bounced high.
Pinkie Pie did no know her friends missed her.
Soon pink hooves stoped her mouth droped open. She saw the pony. she let out this big big gasp like she was filling lung with helium. Instead of bouncing this time she race over. It was a brown colt. He had a shaggy mane. it was the color of yummy nummy vanilla frosting! Her favorite. While acctually every flavor was her favorite. Except spinach. No pony like spinach.
SHe found herself wrapping hooves around his head and slowly nomming on her mane. Odd she thought.
"You mane tastes like cotton candy. Just like mine!"
Then Pinkie Pie gasped.
"We should be the bestest of friends!"
The colt stay quiet. Hes eyes just blinked slowly. He looked like he didnt know what was happening. Then he squinted like trying to recongize her.
"...do i know you?"
Pinkie Pie laughed.
"No silly filly. you're a new pony."
"Say I forgot to ask your name!" Pinkie Pie said after a pause.
"I think...I think its Discord."
"Discord eh....? What a fun name for a pony! I fought this super awesome villain pony creature once named Discord!"
The ponies bright golden eyes furrowed in confusion, head a tilt at her words. Pupils flashed a gleam in the setting sunlight.
"Whose Discord?"
