random note

"Okay, so what did the dragon mean?" Applejack asked

"I don't know and I don't get how staring will help at all!" Rarity said

"Twilight, have you got any idea about what he was saying?" Flutter shy asked

"Well, we have to find something really rare?" Twilight explained confusingly

"Yes, but what is the thing that is rare?" Rarity asked

"Urm, the e-elements of harmony," Flutter shy suggested

"What!?" the other four ponies chorused

"Well...Oh, what was I thinking! The elements of harmony are probably not even the answer! Sorry, what I just said doesn't even matter," Fluttershy said disapprovingly

"Maybe the elements of harmony could be the answer, since there aren't any doubles of the elements," Twilight explained

"So what do we do once we have the elements?" Rainbow Dash asked

"Were you wearing earplugs when the dragon was speaking? He said that we must stare at the heart of it!" Twilight explained

"Are you saying that the elements have hearts, so they're alive!" Rainbow Dash tried to hide her fright

"Rainbow Dash!" Twilight yelled

"And that all this time we've worn living organisms on our neck when we wear the elements of harmony, not that I'm scared," Rainbow Dash explained with fright

"Rainbow Dash!!" Twilight shouted

"I may not be Rarity but I still think that wearing living things on our neck is disgusting!" Rainbow Dash said

"RAIN-BOW DAASH!!" Twilight screeched, her face going red

"What?" Rainbow Dash asked

"First of all the elements are not alive! And second, I think what the dragon meant was that we have to concentrate when we stare at them, gosh!" Twilight explained calming down

"Okay then, let's go get the elements," Applejack said.

Soon the five friends were in the train to Ponyville. "What do you think is going to happen when we stare at the elements?" Applejack asked

"I'm not sure, but we'll soon find out because we're here," Twilight replied with delight to be back home. They went back to the castle and just when the five friends entered the castle and closed the doors, Pinkie Pie happened to trot in front of the castle on her way to sugarcube corner. "All right so here are the elements," Twilight said whilst placing the elements on the table.

"Now what?" Applejack asked

"We have to concentrate," Twilight replied, then they all just stared at the elements confusingly. "We have to concentrate and think about the question 'Where is Pinkie Pie?' I-I think," Twilight explained. They all stared straight into the eyes of the elements but nothing happened. "All right, what are you girls thinking about?" Twilight asked whilst being annoyed.

"Well I'm thinking about Filly Delphia, that could be where Pinkie Pie is," Flutter Shy replied

"Why would you think about that?" Twilight questioned

"You told us to, darling," Rarity replied

"What, no I told you to think about the question of where Pinkie should be," Twilight said there were some oo's and aa's before everypony were soon concentrating on the eyes of the elements, thinking about the question of where Pinkie Pie is. Then the elements began to glow and spiralled up, they made the shape of a circle and inside the circle the five friends were shocked to find Pinkie Pie putting the banner up then saying that she just needs the finishing touches. But what shocked them most of all was the fact that Pinkie Pie was in front of sugarcube corner! "There must be some sort of mistake, Pinkie Pie can't be here at Ponyville and, is she planning a party?" Twilight said

"Well there's only one way to find out!" Rainbow Dash said flying to the castle doors.

A few minutes later the five friends were in front of Sugarcube Corner, confused to find out that neither Pinkie Pie or any pony else was here. "Maybe the elements were wrong," Twilight said, but just when they turned around and we're about to go back to the castle "SURPRISE!" a bunch of ponies yelled. "Welcome back from your journey girls! So what'd you have to do, find an object, defeat a monster, eat some cupcakes! I have so many questions for you!" Pinkie Pie yelled with excitement

"Yeah, so do we," Twilight said

"Like, how did you get here?" Rainbow Dash asked, now Pinkie Pie was really confused

"I was here the whole time," she replied

"You mean to say that we went through all that to find out that you were here this whole time!" Twilight yelled with frustration

"You mean that you found a random note then went to the Everfree Forest to find an engraving on a stone that told you to go to Filly Delphia but when you went to Filly Delphia you met my old friend Star Blossom and she told you about my dream to climb the foal mountains  which you did, when you met the dragon he told you the third riddle of the day and when you solved it you had to go all the way back to the castle and use the elements of harmony as google maps to try and find me and you were really shocked to find out that I was here in Ponyville this whole time, so you ran over to Sugarcube Corner where you found out that I was planning a surprise party  for you girls," Pinkie Pie took a deep breath "Right!" she yelled

"How'd  you know Pinkie?"  Applejack asked

"Just a hunch," Pinkie Pie replied "did you ask the dragon if his species ever ate cake!?" she asked whilst stuffing a cupcake into her mouth

"Urm, no. Speaking of dragons, where's Spike I haven't seen him through out our whole goose chase? I think we accidentally left him here because we were all to worried about you" Twilight said.

Meanwhile Spike was tied up in pain, struggling to get out of the rope that nearly suffocated him. "Well, it looks like your friends didn't make it in time to exchange you for one hundred bids. Oh well, I guess I'll have to go with my second plan, I'll be the first dragon slayer in Equestria!" the stallion said, a mischievous smile on his face.
