Bringing Harmony To The Chaos

**Chapter 5

The Equestrian Connection**

"Why did the princess take those two back without talkin' to us about it?" asked Applejack, obviously the news had flustered her quite a bit. Before anyone could respond you got another text, but this time it said it was from Celestia, and in it read, "This is for your eyes only, don't show the 4 girls anything you get through this name, understand?", to which you replied, "Yes, but why can't they know about this?". Her response was quick and to the point, "Because it would ruin everything if they found out", still being unsure about it you waited for the next message, and you got it just as you put your phone down. Thankfully you grabbed it before Rainbow did, since you knew who it was from, and didn't want to anger a princess that could easily kill you. Yet what you read made you feel like she'd already killed you, and you just didn't know it yet...

It read, "I know this is sudden, but the real reason I sent the girls there was to find the elements for your world, since I knew that if they could awaken those people to their abilities, they would create a ripple that would eventually make everyone's lives much happier. Pinkie wasn't needed, as your world already has parties almost every day for something or other, and Rarity was brought back because you showed the element of generosity when you gave up your personal comfort for the girls. Yet not only are you the element of generosity, but you are also the element of honesty, and possibly even kindness and loyalty seeing how you have acted towards the 4 girls that are under your care". Then it hit you, if Rarity and Pinkie were taken back because their elements were already found, why was Applejack still here if you were also the element of honesty? Then as if Celestia was inside your head and knew what you were thinking, she sent one more message.

"Applejack is still there because you and her have found true love in each other, and I can't bring myself to break that up, not until I find a way to let you stay with her".

You feel as though someone just put you on the moon, as the adrenaline pumping through you makes everything including yourself feel a lot lighter. At first you think the adrenaline is being caused by the fact that you're two elements, maybe more, but then you realize it's because an almighty princess that has the ability to raise the moon and the sun, is trying to keep your idiotic romance alive, no matter how hard it's no doubt going to be. Before you can come back to reality you feel a hand on your shoulder, "You okay sugar? You look like you just went crazy or somethin'", obviously the hand was Applejack's, and without thinking you turned to her and gave her the biggest hug you could. Although she pushed you away, muttering something along the lines of, "Not when they're around", but you didn't care. The fact that her face became redder than her brother's coat was proof enough that Celestia was right, it was true love, seeing as Applejack can't lie for shit.

"Should we leave you two alone or something?" You hear Rainbow ask, obviously trying to tease Applejack, but you decided to tease her a bit too. "What you want a hug too?" you ask smugly, but your plan backfired big time when she nodded and then walked up to you to get her hug. Being the gentleman you are you couldn't turn her down, then you saw both Twilight and Fluttershy looking at you in a funny way, and you realized that they also wanted one. Twilight just came in and got a quick one, but Fluttershy, well she decided to hold on for a little bit longer than Applejack would have liked, made quite obvious when she pulled Fluttershy off you.

"What in tarnation were you doin' there Fluttershy? It was supposed to be a quick hug!" It was painfully clear that Applejack was quite upset about it.

"Well, um, I was going to just get a quick hug, but then he felt so big and warm, I felt safe there so I wanted to hold on tight and never let go. I, I'm sorry about that, I won't do it again I promise..." whimpered Fluttershy in response, she looked like a sad puppy now.

"Applejack has a crush on the human, Applejack has a crush on the human!" chanted Rainbow from just behind you.

"What do you even like about this guy AJ?" asked Rainbow as she threw her arms around you from behind, "I mean's he's not in shape, he isn't that handsome, and he watched a show for little girls, he's obviously a wimp!" she finished, much to your dismay, as every point was true, and had involved her poking and prodding at your upper body.

Next thing you know Applejack's pulling Rainbow off of you, and then...

SMACK!

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!"

"Don't talk about him that way, and keep your hands off him!"

"Fine! You didn't have to hit me over it, I was just playing around!"

You'd never think you'd get to witness Applejack smacking Rainbow like that, nor did you think you'd ever see Twilight speechless, even Fluttershy had frozen to the spot, unsure of what to do, hide, or help Rainbow? There was an awkward silence while you, Twilight, and Fluttershy attempted to put your jaws back in place, seeing as they most likely fell through the planet with how fast and hard they dropped. Somehow you managed to recover first, and just went over to Applejack, who was now sitting on your bed with her head in her hands, obviously upset over what she just did to one of her friends. With no words that you could think of you instead wrapped your arm around her and pulled her in, trying to calm her down. As you do this you notice that the other girls are watching, just as Applejack starts to shake.

She was crying...

   _____________________________________________________________________________

After a long talk, and quite a few tears from Applejack you managed to get them all into the same room without them trying to not see each other. So you decide you better start explaining before the peace is broken again. "Celestia was sending me texts, and she told me that your mission has changed." That was met with about as much confusion as you thought you would get, "She has decided that you are now tasked with finding the Elements of Harmony for this world. 3 have already been found. Laughter is covered by comedians and the people that throw parties every other day, and I am two of the elements, generosity, and honesty. That is why Pinkie and Rarity were taken back to Equestria."

"So then why am I still here?" asked Applejack, obviously afraid that at any moment she could be brought back.

Thankfully you're not as bad as Applejack is at telling a lie, so you only respond by saying, "She didn't say, maybe it was so you could help the others?"

"Fair enough, so where do we start?" asked Rainbow, who seemed eager to find someone like her in this world

"Well, I know a friend who might be a match for Fluttershy, but I think you two are going to be the hardest to match someone with" you reply while looking at her and Twilight

"Well, What're we waitin' for? We better get started, and sittin' here talkin' aint gonna help us find them!" said Applejack, who was obviously very happy that this might mean Rainbow will be out of your house after you find her match.

Hopefully this chapter made sense to everyone, it was kinda written on a whim, so if anything doesn't make sense ask and I'll try to fix it ;3
