Chapter 1: Unsatisfying Memories

[Febupony 4th 2013, Ponyville, Equestria]

Spike, can you please hurry up with getting ready...we have to meet up with our friends at Sugar Cube Corner." Twilight yelled to Spike, who was in their room thinking about the Mane 6 since they defeated Discord.

"Coming Twilight!" said Spike "Why do they always get to be the heroes huh...I help every-pony out around here, and when something evil comes to try and destroy everything, i try to help...but still...they always come to just kick me away from the danger and save the day themselves."Spike said whispering to himself.

"SPIKE, DIDN'T I JUST SAY HURRY UP!" Twilight yelled to Spike.

"I"m coming, i'm coming." Said Spike walking down the stairs towards Twilight who was standing at the door.

"Great, got everything you need"

"Yes Twilight, i'm ready" Replied Spike.

"Ok then...let's go now" Twilight said heading out the Library.

Spike and Twilight then proceeded to Sugar Cube Corner, saying Hello and Greetings to every-pony along the way. Before they went to Sugar Cube Corner, they stopped at a Food Stand to get some extra food for the Party. They got a couple of Apples, some Jugs of Apple Cider, some Bags of Candy, and some Party Hats which were still left from last weeks shipment. After buying the stuff. they proceeded to Sugar Cube Corner, which was only 12 Houses down from where they were. When they Arrived, Spike knocked on the door, when the door opened, they were then greeted by Pinkie Pie.

"Yay, you two made it! We thought you were to busy to come to the party, or you just got sick from the big fight 2 days ago with Discord." Pinkie Pie said cheerfully.

"Oh no, we were just, a little held back on Schedule." she said looking back at Spike with a disappointed stare.

Spike looked at Twilight and had an embarrassing look on his face. Rarity, who was just talking to Applejack came to the door.

"Twilight Dear, i thought you'd never come, hurry in, We were just talking about what happened 2 days ago with our Victory over Discord." Rarity said.

Twilight and Spike then walked inside and saw Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Applejack laughing. Twilight and Spike approached them at a table and they all greeted her and Spike. Rainbow Dash then told them

"Hey guys, we were just talking about how Awesome it was when we defeated Discord." Spike heard Rainbow and then went and sat at another table...looking a little angry.

"Spike, are you ok Dear, you look a little upset." Rarity asked Spike. He then replied

"Oh. no...i'm fine...just trying to not remember about something i really don't want to remember about." Spike then asked Pinkie to get him a Cupcake. After he got his Cupcake, he was about to take a bite when he heard them talking about their Victory again.

"Oh Oh, and remember when we all bonded our Elements together and defeated him with that Harmony Blast." Pinkie said.

"Oh yea, that was pretty cool, though I wonder how we did that." said Applejack.

"It was also glorious when we all shined in our glorious beautiful light show...though i looked best when we transformed." Rarity replied.

Every-pony then looked at her in plain disappointment.

"What, I was Beautiful, right." Rarity Asked

"The reason we defeated Discord was because he was corrupted with evil, and our Friendship was stronger than it. All six of us are meant to protect Equestria, and as long as we are together, nothing can defeat our friendship, for as we are friends, and friends stick together." Twilight told every-pony.

"Yea!" Every-pony yelled back.

"I've always wondered...why is it that every time something tries to destroy or take over Equestria. We're the only ponies who can save they day?" Fluttershy asked.

"Well, i came to a conclusion that it may have to do with there only being 6 Elements of Harmony, and that were destined to protect this world...without us, Equestria would've fallen by now." Twilight said.

"Well, thank goodness for us being the chosen ponies of destiny to protect Equestria, were heroes...real heroes, that are also super duper awesome!" Rainbow Cheered.

Spike couldn't take it anymore and threw his plate across the  room. The plate broke into pieces and the Cupcake splattered all over the floor. Spike then got up and walked out of Sugar Cube Corner.

"Spike, are you ok, Spike!" Screamed Twilight.

Twilight then ran to the door and chased after spike.

Chapter 2: Unforgivable Thoughts

"Spike, what happened back there, why did you get angry" Twilight asked Spike.

"I got angry because you 6 always get to be the Heroes every time something bad happens! You always have to solve problems, and when i try to help, all you 6 want to do is push me off. I help every-pony as much as you 6 do.........you know what, i don't even care anymore, you 6 can go and save every-pony in all of Equestria for all i care, i'm leaving Ponyville!" Spike screamed.

The other 5 ponies came running towards them and stopped to hear them two speak.

"Wha-what...your leaving Ponyville?!" Said Twilight, looking at him in a shocked way.

"Yes, i'm leaving, I've been thinking about doing so for a while now, since the last 2 days now. You guys don't even know the truth about what happened 2 days ago, and why you guys were able to defeat Discord with the 6 Elements of Harmony!" Spike told them.

"What do you ever mean Spike, what do the 6 Elements of Harmony have to do with defeating Discord?" Asked Twilight

"It's...it's not the 6 Elements of Harmony..." Spike told her.

"What now Sugar cube?" Asked Applejack.

"It's the 7 Elements of Harmony, Princess Celestia told me there was a Seventh one, she also told me that i was the Element of Hope." Spike replied scratching the back of his head.

"Bu...But that's impossible, there can't be Seven, everything we've ever did and got was because there were only Six Elements of Harmony" Twilight told Spike.

"Your wrong Twilight, here...see." Said Spike showing a Crown with a Purple, Green, and Black Heart at the top of it.

Twilight looked at it and wondered how it was possible that there was a Seventh Element. Everything she'd every known, everything she was taught about the 6 Elements from Princess Celestia, she thought about it all. She then said

"This...this makes no sense...come on every pony, we're going to seek to the Princesses about this...you too spike. She said.

"I'm not coming, it's not like you need me anyway, knowing you always figure out and solve things yourself!" Spike yelled to Twilight

Twilight then used her magic to pick up Spike and bring him with her. Spike just got angry and thought to himself.

"[Man, when i get my chance...I'll show them...I'll show every-pony how Heroic i can be]"

So the 7 Friends then took their way to the Royal Castle in Canterlot. While on their way to the castle, Twilight thought about how there could be a Seventh Element of Harmony, trying to find solutions on how it is even possible, and how...Spike is the Element of Hope. Though she can see how he did show Hope in the past times he was asked to do something, though he'd sometimes either mess it up, or get too distracted to help. Also he'd always be there for her, through the toughest times and through the most craziest disasters, he never let her down, but she'd just keep him out of it instead just to protect him. Maybe she was...letting him down by not letting him help out with some of the problems.

After a couple of hours, the 7 friends then made it to the Royal Castle. When there they were lead to Princess Celestia and Luna by some of the Royal Guards. On their Arrival at the Princesses Thrones, they were greeted by Princess Celestia.

"Why hello Twilight, what brings you and your friends here on this fine day?" Princess Celestia asked

"Were here to ask you a...simple question." Twilight Replied

"And what may that be dear" Princess Luna replied

"A couple of hours ago spike showed us this..." Twilight said holding Spikes Element of Harmony towards the Princesses.

"He also said that their was a Seventh Element of Harmony, and that he is the Element of Hope...is this true princess?" asked Twilight

The Princesses looked at each other, and then got close together and whispered in each others ears. Afterwards, they broke their talk and Princess Celestia said

"Well, i guess it's time we show you all the truth about the Elements of Harmony..."

Twilight and her friends then looked at each other, Twilight then looked back at Spike, which only looked back in an angry mood. The Two Princesses then got up, Princess Celestia then said

"Follow us, we'll show you..."

The Mane 6 and Spike then proceeded to follow Princess Celestia and Luna to where ever they were going to inside the Royal Castle. They went to Princess Celestia's Room, in which she walked to her Wardrobe. She opened it and activated a Secret Level behind her Clothes. The Wardrobe then closed and slid to the side, revealing a Secret Passage behind it. The Princesses, accompanied by the Mane 6 and Spike, then went into the darkened passage, to where they could only think about where it lead to.
