chapter 1 meeting friends

DEAR DIARY

                    I have just opened my new library in pony vile I’ve stocked up with books and newspapers ive also moved all my personal persecions up stairs. I’ve categorized all the books into specific...

“hey are you open??”

“h-hang on im coming” i said getting up from the old table and placing my glasses on the side table. I slowly walked down the stairs trying to see who’s at the door. As i walked up to the door my horn started glowing and the door knob slowly glowed and turned to the left to open the door. The door slowly creaked open and standing there in the doorway was a medium sized purple unicorn with a large magic cutie mark. She looked up at me with a curious look on her face.

“I’m sorry if I’m disturbing you i just notice that this book store was new in town and i just wondered if i could have a look around??”

“yea sure just ask me if you need anything” I turned around and slowly trotted towards the back of the room. The purple unicorn trotted over to the first book shelf named history. She picked up the first book and opened to the first page.

“wow ive never seen this book before and I’ve seen all books in Equestria where did you get this?”

“i collect them ive been around a few years”

“but these books are first edition and were published over 1000 years ago” said a very confused unicorn.

“d-do you want a drink?” i said trying to avoid her questions.

“oh yes please. i haven’t had a drink all day”I turned around and headed towards the kitchen to make us drinks.

“by the way i didn’t catch your name. Im elements...” i said curiously.

“oh... my name is twilight sparkle”

“Well its nice to meet you twilight” i said carrying the drinks into the store.i sat down on a near by pillow and started drinking before twilight brought back her questions.

“like i said how did you get these books, there first edition on some very great topics also...”

“i was there” i whispered.

“what??”

“i was there” i said raising my voice .

“but you couldn’t have been that was over 1000 years ago how cou...” said a confused twilight sitting next to me with her cup glowing behind her.

I looked down slowly and sighed. A tear drop fell from my eye and i looked up. I slowly got to my hooves and undid my jacket. i dropped my jacket on the table and turned round to twilight.

“i-i-im a monster.” And with that i stretched my wings to there max size the ends of my wings pulsating next to the roof.

“oh my” she said shocked at what she had seen.

“your a... your a alicorn. There nothing wrong about that, i know friends who are alicorns and ill be happy to...” she stopped to the look on my face.

“I’m not an alicorn I’m a monster!!” i said saddened.

I looked up at twilight. “let me tell you a story on how i got these wings”

“wait. You mean you wasn’t born with those” she said shocked. I shook my head in disappointment.

“when i was just a filly. I had a friend, a small red Pegasus with a yellow mane and tail. he had large green eyes and all ways liked to play. His name was flash; flash was the only Pegasus i knew who could perform a double dropping dive. But one day when we were heading home and a large building started to fall on us. I used my magic to get us out of there and it worked... for me. when your that young your magic isn’t that good and when i used my teleportation spell it transported me to the summer sun celebration in Canterlot. Me and my friend flash was standing behind Celestia just as she raised the sun but” i stopped and a tear rolled down my cheek.

“when i teleported my magic got me and my friend confused it ripped his wings off of him and put them on me.”Twilight stood there in shock.

“but the worst thing was that the spell also ripped out his heart... i have two hearts”She gasped and lowerd her head

“so now i can now live forever” i raised my head and looked at the old photograph of flash on my fireplace

“im so sorry for asking... i-i didn’t know  i”

“its OK twilight i always remember from time to time. Like my parents used to say forget the past its the future that counts.“and with that twilight lifted her head and smiled

“listen take this as a gift” i handed her a large book on unicorn spells and immidiatly she started reading.

“ive never seen these spells. who preformed them? was it the princess?” she said exsited

“no i did. Funny thing is im the only unicorn who can control the four elements.”

“the four elements??”

“yes look” i grabbed a big brown book and blowed the dust off of it.

“look the four elelements: fire, water, earth and wind.” I looked behind her at the small clock

“oh... im so sorry twilight its closing time. Listen take this book its a gift to you also please please please don’t tell anyone

that story i told you... ok??”

“my lips are seeled” she said happy

I walked her over to the door and used my magic to open it. She looked at me and slowly trotted away

“thanks for the book elements” she shouted

“your welcome” i shouted back. I closed the door and walked to the back of the room.

“twilight sparkle. what a nice name for a good friend” i said to my self as i walked up stairs

“right now we’re was i?... oh yes”

Order the books are...

“hello are you open?”

“uuurrrr who is it now?”

I slowly walked down the stairs trying to see who was at the front door alls i could see was three little heads. I walked to the door to see three little fillies.

“WERE THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS JURNOLISTS OF THE FULL FREE PRESS CAN WE GET AN INTERVIEW WITH YOU??”

“NO!!”and with that i slammed the door shut. I ran upstairs to my study and waited for them to leave.

chapter 2 secrets let out

As the cutie mark crusaders stood there in front of the solid wooden door there hearts sank they needed a story for the full free press

“come on gals lets go we wont find anything here”

Sweetie bell noticed a small object on the letterbox of the door she grabbed it in her mouth and jumped in the way of scootalo.

“hey watch it sweetie!”

“look i found this” she used her magic and the book levitated out of her mouth and into the face of the other two.

“wow its elements diary. Its really old so don’t drop it”

“look here girls the first entry is about elements friend and....”

“and what scoot” said applebloom frustrated”

“oh sweet Celestia ELEMENTS KILLED HIS BEST FRIEND JUST FOR HIS WINGS!!!”

The other two gasped at the dreaded news.

“this could be the story of the century. Come on gals lets get this down to diamond tiara” the other two nodded and with that they shot off to the school for another story.

Later that afternoon i sat in my study looking out at the gorgeous views and the wonderful creatures .

“ah what a beautiful afternoon. What could possibly go wrong?” and with that i quickly turned around to check every thing was ok .

“sometimes you’ve got to check on what you say.

Knock knock knock.

I turned around and leaned over the banister.

“who ever it is go away were closed”

Knock knock knock

My face went red with anger. I slowly walked down the stairs trying to see who it was.

“who ever it is were closed!!”

Knock knock knock

I reached the door and swung it open

“WHAT!!”

I opened my eyes to a large crowd of ponies and guards standing in front of my house. Every one looked at me with an evil look.

“are you mr elements the book store owner?” said a very large and upset royal gaurd.

“y-yes”

“good your under arrest for murder”

“WHAT!?!?!?” i shouted in anger. I slammed the door and ran up stairs. The guards rammed the door down and gave chase. Before they got upstairs i escaped out the back door and ran towards a very large oak tree. The guards and angry pony folk gave chase but before i could get into the tree house the guards tackled me to the ground. I let out a large cry for help before i went mad. I kicked the guards off of my back and started to hover my voice changed to a large demonic sound.

“YOUVE GONE TO FAR I TRYED TO FIT IN I TRYED TO BE NICE AND CALM. FOR 1000 YEARS IVE BEEN TORMENTED FOR MY MISTAKE AND NOW I SEEK REVENGE!!” and with that two fire balls grew in my front hoofs, water came out of the ground and swirled around me, rocks started flying into buildings and tornados crashed through the crowd of ponies. Fire balls flew across the sky hitting houses and ponies alike. Twilight came out of her house to see what was happening. All she could see was fire and destruction. Ponies were fleeing for there lives and houses burnt to the ground. The destruction was ceased by a shine of a bright Wight light from the clouds and a pegasi slowly descended towards me the light masking his face and features when the light disappeared i recognised the pony i recognised him

“f-flash?”

chapter 3 friendship is magic

“FLASH!?!?”

As the red pegasus descended everyone stopped and looked in astonishment.

“elements I’ve missed you” and with that we hugged a tear rolled down my cheek.

“he isn’t real” i thought his just my imagination we separated and flash talked first

“elements I’ve missed you so much i know it wasn’t your fault i died it was a mistake

“flash please it was my fault i should have practiced more on my magic than messing around” i said softly

“elements i have a decision for you. You can ether stay here and ill take my heart and wing back, youll be able to live a normal life like any other pony, or you can come with me you can leave this world and come with me and we can be together forever.”

I stood there contemplating on what to do should i stay and lose my friend or should i go and lose my life.

Twilight looked up at me and a tear rolled down her cheek. All the ponies in pony vile started crying they knew they were going to lose someone who has been there for all of them. I looked up at flash and i descended to the ground and flash soon followed i stood there fin front of flash. Twilight moved behind flash to see me better but before she could help me on my decision flash slowly faded away and i was left standing there alone. Twilight walked up to me and stroked my mane.

ENDING 1

“it’s OK... you've got me” she said softly a smile hit my face and a tear rolled down my cheek i was heartbroken in side. Twilight hugged me tightly. She let go and i slowly fell to the floor below she gasped and came to my rescue. I looked up at her.

“goodbye twilight” i said softly. She gasped

“here i come flash” i raised a hoof to try and grab the heavens. My hoof fell to the ground and everypony gasped i laid dead in twilights arms with a smile on my face.

I now know the meaning to my life. As my body lies there in the street i always know that it isn’t the people who you know or have seen before that bring happiness to your life, its your friends and family without them to guide you along the path of life your sure to get lost and become un happy

ENDING 2

“its ok... you`ve got me” she said softly a smile hit my face and a tear rolled down my cheek i was heart broken inside. Twilight hugged me tightly. I hugged her and began to cry. I looked up to the sky and began to wipe my eyes to clear my vision.

“goodbye flash” i shouted. And with that my wings disappeared and i felt more alive.

I looked at twilight and i gave her a nuzzle on the neck.

“i love you twi” she lifted her head off of me and wiped her eyes.

“i love you to elements” and with that we hugged again.

I now know the meaning to my life. As my body lies there in the street i always know that it isn’t the people who you know or have seen before that bring happiness to your life, its your friends and family without them to guide you along the path of life your sure to get lost and become un happy
