The Affinities

The personifications of the Elements sat in a circle, with Twilight Sparkle in the center. In the circle were Applejack-the Element of Honesty, Rainbow Dash, the Element of Loyalty, Pinkie Pie, the Element of Laughter, Fluttershy, the Element of Kindness, and Rarity, the Element of Generosity. In the center sat Twilight Sparkle, the Element of Magic.

They sat in the circle, waiting for Twilight to call their Elements forth. She moved to Applejack. "As the Element Magic, I use my authority to call the Element, Honesty, to us!" And with that, Twilight could feel Applejack's honesty. She looked down at Applejack, who was smiling, Emerald green eyes sparkling. Twilight smiled back at her.

She then moved to Rainbow Dash. "As the Element Magic, I use my authority to call the Element, Loyalty, to us!" With that said, Twilight then saw the pure loyalty in Rainbow's soul. Twilight looked down at Rainbow, who was smiling broadly. Twilight shook her head playfully and rolled her eyes and she walked to the next Element.

But, Twilight didn't have time to call the next Element to her, because the Elements were attacking her friends. Applejack was pressed to the ground by a furious yellow light, Rainbow was trapped in a red cage, Pinkie Pie was encased in a pool of blue, bottomless light, Fluttershy was holding her head against the ground against the green light, and Rarity screamed, full of fear for the magenta light.

Twilight tried to rush toward them, but a purple light poked and pinched at her. She shielded her eyes with her hooves, but the purple light was too painful and powerful. She couldn't squint through it. The last thing Twilight saw before the light powered her to the ground were her friends, so sad and scared, and she couldn't do anything about it. Twilight eventually blacked out and knocked out.

When they woke up, their heads throbbed and bodies ached. They couldn't even remember what happened. They got up slowly, their bodies hurting, but not as much as it does when they stay still. Then, when Rarity got up, she screamed, alarming everybody in the room. "Rarity, what's wrong!?" Everyone yelled.

Then they noticed something different about Rarity. There was a scar from the top of her eyebrow, to the bottom of her eye. Her mane also glowed a magenta color. "Rarity! What happened?" Rainbow yelled. When Rarity didn't answer, but shrieked instead, Fluttershy moved closer to her and threw her forelegs around her. Rarity continued to shriek and shiver.

Twilight saw her, and was dumbfounded. Rarity had her eyes closed and was pressing her hooves to her ears furiously, as if it could stop the pain. Rarity was having a vision! Wait, a vision? Rarity never had vision! Twilight moved closer to Rarity. "What re you seeing?" Twilight said frantically. Rarity muttered something in response Twilight couldn't catch.

Then just like that, Rarity's eyes rolled back in her head and she went limp in Fluttershy's grip. "What happened to her?" Pinkie asked. Rainbow shrugged worriedly. Rarity took one look at Spike, who had just walked into the room, and screamed horridly. Spike cowered in the corner. "Rarity? What's wrong?" Rarity then jerked up. "That hurt my head." Rarity squeaked.

Then Twilight heard flames crackle and burn something. Twilight jerked her head around to see Rainbow shrinking back in horror as one of Twilight's books caught on fire and burned to ashes. "I swear I didn't do it on purpose!" Rainbow squeaked. Twilight observed that Rainbow's hooves were on fire and she looked like someone turned the light on inside her. She glowed with internal fire.

Then Twilight felt a wind rustling everything and lifting her mane up in the air. "Applejack, close the door!" Twilight yelled. "Sugar! That ain't no door!" Applejack yelled back. Twilight whipped around to see a wind storm swirling around the orange earth pony. Twilight sat down and massaged her temple thoughtfully.

"EVERYTHING'S WET!" Pinkie Pie yelled. Twilight whipped around lazily to see the ghost of the sea lapping against her hooves. Twilight gripped her ears and groaned, then she smelled freshly-cut hay and an apple orchard and heard birdsong. Twilight whipped around again, feeling very dizzy to see something she REALLY wasn't ready to see.

There was a patch of a meadow under where Fluttershy was sitting and whimpering. Then, the ground started to shake and the ponies floated off the ground and went into the air. "Woah! Wha...What's happ...ppening!" Rarity said shakily. Rainbow tried to steady herself, Applejack fell to the ground, Pinkie bounced happily, Twilight screamed, and Fluttershy's eyes were glowing green.

"Fluttteeerrrssshhhyyy! Wwhhaat aarree you ddoingg!?" Rainbow tried to talk, but she stuttered. Rarity threw her forelegs around Fluttershy in order to calm her down. Eventually, the ground stopped shaking and Fluttershy went limp in Rarity's hold. "Twilight! What the heck is happening!" Rainbow yelled. Twilight widened her eyes in horror at what she saw.

A furious whirlwind pressed Applejack to the ground fiercely, Rainbow Dash was trapped in a cage of fire, a bunch of Twigs grew into a cave around Fluttershy's unconscious body, Pinkie was encased in a sea of bottomless water, and Rarity fell to the ground, screaming in agony and hooves clutching her ears. Twilight then felt a pain rush into her stomach, spreading to her heart.

Twilight fell to the ground beside Rarity and Fluttershy and shrieked in pain. Twilight's vision wavered, causing her friends to go in and out of focus. The last thing she saw before she was overpowered was Applejack struggling against the wind, Rainbow fainting from the heat, Pinkie gasping for air, Fluttershy whimpering in her unconscious state, and Rarity screaming in agony.

Then, Twilight heard a distant "Twilight? TWILIGHT!? WAKE UP!" as if it was a million miles away from her hearing range, even though something told her it came form right in front of her face. Eventually, she screamed in sorrow one last time, before blacking out.

Evoking Water

Pinkie Pie's POV

I woke up next to Rainbow Dash, my head throbbing, body aching. I tried to open my eyes, but my eyes were too dry and sore to see anything, so I kept my eyes shut, but picked my head up, ignoring the pain it caused. Then, I looked down at my hind legs to see the ghost of the Sea lapping against my hooves. Well, heck. I really CAN control water.

When I could open my eyes again, I saw my friends start to rise up. Twilight was frantically looking in a book for something, Applejack rubbed her ears, Rainbow hugged her knees to her chest, Rarity muttered, Fluttershy was still unconscious, and I just stood there, staring like an idiot. The ghost Sea lapped against our hooves, but no one but me noticed it.

I also noticed that nothing was actually getting wet, but it sure looked like it was. I zoned out so long I didn't notice Rainbow, Applejack, and Rarity with Fluttershy in her forelegs were walking out of the library. I was getting ready to leave, until Twilight laid a hoof on my shoulder. "Pinkie. I want to see you." Twilight said. I nodded and sat in front of her.

"Pinkie, you know you have an affinity just like the rest of us, right?" Twilight asked. I didn't know what an affinity was, so I shook my head instead. Twilight pursed her lips, then took my hooves in hers and started to talk again. "So... An affinity i...is a special connection you have with an Element. Like your Element of Harmony." Twilight explained. I nodded.

I thought for a while, then squeezed her hooves and bounced up and down. "Wh...oah! Pinkie! Stooop!" Twilight stuttered through the bounces. I blushed and stopped, Twilight trying to straighten her mane out. After she was done, Twilight smiled and grabbed my hooves again. "Now, Pinkie, lets try to CONTROL water." Twilight said. I nodded happily and sat back down.

I closed my eyes and listened to Twilight's words. "Now, grip my hooves and listen to the rest of my words." Twilight said. I nodded again and shut my eyes tighter. "Now, imagine the Sea. Hear the waves, smell the salty air, see the waves lap against the earth and your hooves." Twilight said. I nodded and did what she said.

I could hear the waves roaring against my hooves and into my ears. I could smell the salty sweet air of the sea. I could see the waves rush against my hooves and wet the fur there. I breathed in the scent and felt, relaxed. Not as energetic as I usually do. I then imagined the waves lifting at my command and piling itself into my hooves. It swirled around and around my forelegs.

"So, Pinkie. You have any control of it yet?" Twilight broke through my thoughts and the bubble on my hoof popped and turned into water droplets. I yelped as I heard the pop. "Gosh, Twilight! You scared me!" I yelped. Twilight chuckled. "Sorry, Pinkie. Anyway. It looks like you have control over water, now." Twilight said. I nodded.

I nodded again and walked out the door. I ran all the way to the lake and sat down at the shore. I put my hoof in the water and swirled it until it created a mini whirl pool. A bunch of bubbles and waves swirled around me and roared against my ears. I gasped as I felt my lungs fill with water. I coughed and wheezed as Water clogged my throat and lungs.

I took a few breaths, but it was no use as I felt my hooves tire and my vision go in and out of focus. Eventually, I blacked out. The last thing I heard and saw were my friends. Applejack yelled and swirled her hoof around to try to get mine, Rainbow whirled around in the air frantically, Fluttershy fluttered her eyes open, then whimpered fuzzily, Rarity screamed, and Twilight's horn glowed with a lavender light.

So, yeah...Weird chapter...uh...LOOK, THERE'S APHRODITE! Don't worry, y'all. Pinkie's not dead.

Seeing the Future

(Rarity's POV)

So much screaming...killing...violence...tragedy...I don't...I can't "AAAAHHHH!!!" I jolted up. I then smoothed my mane back and sighed. I can't keep living like this! The visions, the tragedies, and the violence. So brutish. Why did it have to be me!? Why did I have to get the headaches and the tragedies. As I shook my head, my head throbbed and my vision whited out! Oh no! Not another one! It came hard and fast, overpowering me to my knees and onto the carpeted floor. I screamed in agony.

Me and my friends were sitting there, laughing, talking, practicing our affinities. All was so serene and peaceful I almost assumed this would be a good vision. That no suffering and murder would be involved. Almost. Then, danger came hard and fast. It was...Discord? He charged toward us and Pinkie Pie rushed up in a roar of water. He smacks her hard on her cheek, catapulting her into the mist. Twilight next, followed by Fluttershy. Discord punches her stomach several times, pushing her into the mist. Discord moved in on Fluttershy, breaking her foreleg and throwing her onto the ground, the earth engulfing her.

Rainbow Dash next. She charges at her full speed, fire trailing behind her. Discord grabs her foreleg and delivers punches to her stomach. Rainbow bit back a scream and instead groaned. He then kicked her, catapulting her into the eery mist that crowded us. I assumed Applejack was next, but I didn't have time to see, because Discord burned her! She screamed and went up in flames. Discord moved to me. I crossed my forelegs in front of my face, but he kicked me away, me falling hard onto my back. I moan in pain, then he towers over me and dangles his claws into my personal space. I screamed. Loud and painful as he inched closer. Then, Discord backs away. I ran into the mist. Nothing. Only blackness. I screamed in agony.

I didn't really know what happened, but then I blacked out and my face hit the floor. The last thing I saw was a lock of my tamed curly purple mane glowing magenta.

I opened my eyes to see Rainbow Dash, her burgundy eyes filled with concern, multicolored mane hanging over her eyes. I felt my heart squeeze when I saw her. No freaking way I could tell her that I saw her die in the future. But, if I tell her, then we might be able to prevent our deaths in the future. If only I knew what day the vision took place.

I can see i'm weirding Rainbow out, so I smile and try to get up. I bumped into her, our muzzles touching accidentally. I pulled away and blushed. Her eyes widened and she blushed, but she soon shrugged it off, her foreleg still wrapped around me, pressing my cheek against her chest. I smiled. She could be so comforting when she wants to be.

She was so cute, and pretty when she smiled...Oh god, I have to find Twilight and tell her about my vision. Then, as my luck would have it, I had another vision. This one hurt my head and heart. I screamed, causing Rainbow to wrap her forelegs around me tighter.

I sat by the coffin, which was cyan and read:Here Lies Rainbow Dash. No. No. NO! She dies!? Can I stop it? Actually, since it's a vision, my thoughts are more along the lines of 'I could've saved her!' Here's how vision Rainbow Dash died. But I really don't want to tell ANYONE. Oh, well. Guess I have to.

I screamed a very high and terrified scream. The dragon inched closer, licking his lips and breath heated. I took some deep breaths, then screamed. Just then, I heard Rainbow shout "Step away from the girl!" She yelled. She fought the dragon, and won! Then, when she flew over to me to check on me, the dragon retaliated with a hiss and fiery burp, sending Rainbow up in flames.

The flames continued to lick at her fur and skin, Rainbow refusing to scream, no matter how much I knew she wanted to. She then fell to the ground, her body charred. I ran to her wrapping my forelegs around her charred remains. She stirred stiffly. "Hiya, Rares." She choked. I choked-sobbed and rubbed my cheek against hers. She then went limp in my arms. The remaining sprites of fire in her skin flickered out, and one of my best friends died.

Then it was just a confused mess of a funeral. Some comforted me, some glared at me, as if I did it. As if I killed her. That's when my vision self locked herself in her shoppe and never came back out. I shuddered. Then, I heard a voice that sounded familiar. Oddly, and faintly familiar. "Rar~ity" I heard someone sing-songed. They sounded a lot like Rainbow.

My vision self lunged out of bed. When she got to the top of the steps, she stopped. There, she was backing up fearfully. I didn't know why, then I saw what she was gawking at, and that's when I gasped for air. There, trudging toward my vision self, was Rainbow Dash? "Rar~ity? Come find me, Rares." Not-Rainbow sing-songed. I shuddered in fear. Vision Rainbow Dash had mud all over her, she wasn't charred, which was weird, seeing as she burned to death, she had cracks running down her cheeks to her chest.

Vision Rainbow Dash tilted her head to the side. "Come play with me, Rarity." Not-Rainbow sing-songed. Vision Rarity screamed, then fainted. Then the Not-Rainbow Dash that was just standing there disappeared in a flash of ember and dust. I gasped.

Then, my real self blacked out again, with me falling into Rainbow's forelegs.
