Elements

"Fluttershy might be harder to convince, 'cause she doesn't like adventures as much as the rest of us do." spoke Rainbow, continuing to walk beside Twilight.

"Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. I can get really nervouscited about stuff like this!" said Pinkie, hopping up and down as the four ponies continued to walk along the stone roads.

"Pinkie, you know that isn't a real word, right?"

"It is totally a word, Dashie!" Rainbow just shook her head, smiling at the typical silliness of Pinkie Pie.

"I think Rainbow Dash is right this time." reasoned Twilight.

"Thank you...wait...hey!" Twilight giggled sheepishly.

"Uh, I mean..." Pinkie and Applejack giggled with her, causing Rainbow to stare angrily at them, which elicited more giggles from the three. "Sorry Rainbow..." apologized Twilight before bursting into a whole new fit of giggles. Rainbow was fed up with this, so she flew ahead.

"Eggheads," was all that could be heard from the cyan pegasus pony as she flew off.

Fluttershy wasn't normally one to nap. Of course not. She always had responsibilities. But last night Angel kept her up, insisting that he get an extra meal. Around three 'o' clock, he eventually gave up, but Fluttershy couldn't fall asleep. Normally, Angel would sleep on her pillow next to her head, but she'd always fall asleep before him, because he'd snore terribly. When he eventually fell asleep, she wasn't asleep, and she couldn't fall asleep due to his snoring, and she though it would be rather rude to wake him just for her benefit. So, she was finally sleeping, and nopony was going to wake her from her slumber. She was happily trotting along the roads of Ponyville, when the road and the sky slowly started to dissolve into darkness. One by one, each pony was devoured by the dark, along with the environment around them. Fluttershy squeaked in horror, and trembled. She collapsed on whatever was left of the ground and hid her face in her hooves. "Fluttershy, my little pony, do not be afraid. It is only us." Fluttershy raised her head to see nothing of Ponyville left, simply darkness around her, yet it wasn't devouring her as it did with the other ponies. She couldn't see anything except black. "H-hello?" she knew that voice sounded familiar. It was Princess Luna. "Princess?" she squeaked.

"You are correct, Fluttershy."

"B-but what are you doing here?"

"That is the same thing Rainbow Dash said to us."

"Rainbow Dash?"

"We also visited your dream. But this is no matter, time is of the essence."

"What is it, Princess?"

"Please call me Luna."

"Alright, Luna." the Princess' hoof raised to an image that was being conjured in the darkness. It showed a dark grey pony with a green ponytail on the side of her head. Her eyes were dark green, with a bright green flame with a smaller dark green one in the center of it as her cutie mark. "Who's that?"

"You will find out soon enough, my little pony. Wake up."

"Pardon me?"

"Wake up..." she repeated. Fluttershy's eyes shot open. She instantly forgot all she'd seen in her dreams, it was all stored in the back of her mind.

"Fluttershy?" called Rainbow, knocking on the door to her cottage softly. "Fluttershy?"

"She isn't answering." said Twilight.

"Did you give up on me?" the lavender unicorn paused.

"No."

"Didn't think so. That means we can't give up on Fluttershy." Rainbow continued to knock on the door, trying to get her friend's attention.

She got up and walked around, trying to figure out what to do. The soft knocking sounds were unheard by the yelling voice in her ears. She was wondering who Luna showed her, and why. She was remembering her dream... She tried to conjure up a good image once again of the pony. She did, and she kept wondering. "Who is she, who is she?" she kept asking herself. She felt like that pony was someone important. Important...but who is she? Why is she so important? she repeated to herself, and frowned. "Who are you?" she then heard the knocking, it was louder. Fluttershy was brought out of her trance, as she walked over to the wooden door of her cottage. She opened it to reveal four of her friends: Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. She smiled at them, forgetting about what she was doing just moments before. "Hey, Fluttershy, well, I was reading a book about the Elements of Harmony, you know, extended research and such, and it spoke of a seventh Element. I would like all of my friends to come with me in case we run into trouble or something, and also just for company. So, what do you say?"

"W-what...Twilight? What do you-- oh, I could never...you want me to..."

"Sorry about the suddenness of it all, I just...I'm really curious!"

"But Twilight, I hardly--"

"Please?"

"Well I don't really--"

"Pleaaase?" Fluttershy paused, the lowered her head in defeat.

"Alright, Twilight..." The lavender unicorn captured her in a hug, which took Fluttershy by surprise, and fell over, bringing Twilight with her, though she wasn't phased. Once Fluttershy realized what was going on, she ended up hugging her friend back. Once Twilight released her, she got up. "Now all was have to do is go pick up Rarity."
