READ THIS IT IS IMPORTANT this story is one that is kinda strange. Not the content, but the way it reads. Usually in a story,
READ THIS IT IS IMPORTANT there is one narrator. In this story though, there are multiple. You can tell who is narrating by
READ THIS IT IS IMPORTANT the title of the chapter. Each element has a specific narrator. We start off with fire, and go to
READ THIS IT IS IMPORTANT earth, then wind, and lastly water. I had a feeling this info would be helpful.

Fire
Today was just a normal day. A day like any other for me, Fireglow. I am the fire chief at the Ponyville Fire Station. My life isn't very exiting. Except for that one time with the hay fries. Shudder shudder. My morning routine is quite simple. I wake up, get dressed, make my husband and I coffee, and fly off. Hot Rod always enjoys a nice cup of coffee in the morning. After I fly off, I land on the ground, and walk the rest of the way. There are two reasons for this. One, I usually get to see my younger sister and her friend walk to school. Always like to say hello. The second reason is the trees. It's not that I don't like trees, it's because they're flammable. It's kinda ironic really. I can control fire, yet I fight it. I feel more like a rebel now. Yes. I said control fire. I don't know why me of all ponies. I mean seriously, they could have chosen anypony, ever, yet it's me. Not many ponies know about this, just my mom, sister, and husband. Though, my ability to work with fire has put me in a really good position in my job though. Speaking of which, once I land there is a short walk to the station. "Morning Fireglow." Calls a voice from across the street.
"Hey Stone." The voice was owned by Stepping Stone. My fellow employee and my best friends brother. Fortune has it we meet. Why? Because he has a shack and the Earth. No, not the earth like that, he has earth-bending powers, like mine. We get together and practice in his shack. His sister and my friend, Meadow Lark, likes to watch us. Sometimes Hot Rod is even there. We are the only ponies with these abilities we know of, but there are four elements, so there are four of us. "Have you shown Meadow that trick yet? Really fooled me. Funny to watch their faces when they see it coming."
"Ya. They never suspected a thing. Though, I should lie low for a while." We stroll into the station right in time. We get our gear on and rush to the house. But this wasn't any house, this was the library. The library was the most flammable place in a city. Not to mention this one was in a tree.
"Uh oh." I whisper to Stone. He just gives me a confused look. "Me plus tree equals disaster." I mutter, barely audible. A look of realization sweeps over him and I just keep running. We run, and we run, until we reach our destination. "Okay team, let's do this!"
The team yells "Right!" In unison. It helps get adrenalin going. I walk over to the librarian, Nonfiction, and ask a couple questions about the fire. "Hello Miss Fiction. Mind answering a couple questions?" She turns her gaze to meet mine, and replys.
"Miss Fiction? Seriously?" She smiles, and hugs me. "I may be old, but I was your foal sitter when I was young, and I don't get special treatment? Kids these days." I start laughing.
"Scaly burnt a book again, I presume?" She nods.
"Indeed, young dragons can't control fire power as well at her age. Do you want to check out the library? Make sure it is safe or anything?"
"If you want I came have some of my team do that." She gives me a confused look and says
"Thank you, I would like that. But why don't you go in yourself? I trust you more then that guy." She points to Stone. I think about it for a moment. I know it probably won't go well, but this is Nonfiction we are talking about here. She is practically my grandma, I mean that's what she is to me. I swallow, then proceed with my answer.
"I will go check it out once the coast is clear." I give her a hug. She smiles like she knows I will do about anything for her. I walk over to One of my team members and ask if I can go in. She says ok, knowing not to question me. I walk in, looking for any signs of danger. As I walk in further, the floor starts to creak. I didn't realize this library was so old. Of course, this was Princess Twilights library, and that was ages ago. I circle around the center table. The statue is surprisingly untouched. As I get to the side of the table, I hear a snap. I back up, realizing all to late that was the wrong direction to go. A couple shelves finally give way just as some fire fighters rush through the door. I panic as I see the multiple shelves of novels and encyclopedias rain down on me. I become defensive, and lift a hoof. I flap my wings and concentrate. After a few seconds I relax. I lower my hoof, tuck my wings back in, and lift my head. I see my team staring at my. My heart suddenly skips a beat as I realize what I just did.
"Uh, Cheif? Did those books just spontaneously combust?" I quickly try to think of an answer, when I spot Stone in the back, pointing to the spot where my wings are.
"No. The books were basically ashes, so I scattered them with my wings." They seemed to be buying it, so I trotted outside. "Hey, Nonfiction. You might want to be careful. Those shelves are old, so it is raining books in there." I give her a hug, she thanks me. I trot off back to the station with Stepping Stone. "Close one. Thanks for saving my flank."
"Your welcome."
As I walk back to the station, all I can think about is fire.
