The Original Sixby PinkieappleflutterChaptersDiscoveryJune 14th 1813June 15th 1813June 17 1813Twilight 1June 20th 1813Discovery"Come on, Spike! We got to get these all in by this afternoon!" Twilight says, levitating several piles of books. "I know, Twilight! I'm on it!" Spike says, cheerfully. Twilight and Spike had just gotten a large order of books from Celestia and are putting them away in her bedroom. Celestia wants Twilight to read up on her parliament and government books to better understand what is expected of her as a princess. "You coming, Spike?" Twilight asks, concerned. "I told you Twilight," Spike says, walking into her room. "I'm on it!" he explains as he puts down the pile of seven books in his claws. "Good job, Spike. Let's keep going," Twilight explains. They walk out of Twilight's room, and Twilight trips abruptly on a tile. "Mph!" "What happened?" Spike says, rushing to Twilight's side. "A tile is loose, that's all. Let's keep bringing in books. We got three whole piles still waiting for us," Twilight explains simply. When Twilight is returning to her room, she trips again, lets go of all the books, and they sprawl all over the hall with a huge thud echoing the large hall. She looks at the books, and realizes that only three out of the fifteen slid into her room. "You alright?" Spike asks again. "Yeah, I'm fine Spike, it's the tile!" Twilight explains a little frustrated. Leaving Spike to put his pile in her room, Twilight lifts the tile to see what's going on. She gasps, and drops the tile, splitting it in two big pieces. She wonders, and lift the two pieces of tile. Spike comes running towards her. "What!?" he asks. "A journal!" she exclaims. Twilight levitates a once red, but now brown, leather book with yellow and frayed pages and black sown in lettering at the front and it has layers upon layers of dust. Twilight brushes off the dust, and Angel's Diary is what it says. "Huh?" How did that get there?" Spike questions. "I don't know, Spike, but it's some pony's journal. We need to find the owner," Twilight says resolutely. "We'll start in Ponyville, and go from there," she explains. "It looks old, Twilight. Like no one has used it in years," Spike observes. "Well, we can't just read some pony's journal, that's not right," Twilight explains. "No, but it's all dusty, I don't think any pony has used it recently," Spike adds. "Well, I suppose, but I can't help but feel we should try to find the owner," Twilight says, face to face with spike. "I don't want to either, but how do you know some pony is going to claim it?" Spike asks. "How do you know some pony won't?" is Twilight's response. "Maybe it has a date inside, if it isn't resent, then we'll keep it," Twilight reasons. Spike nods, and the cover is opened. On the right corner in very messy black writing is the date June 13th 1813. Both Spike and Twilight gasp. Twilight reads the first entry out loud. "Princess Celestia told me to record everything I can to preserve it for future generations, so here I am. I am Angel, I am a Unicorn and I am the prized pupal of Princess Celestia in her school for Talented Unicorns. For reference, I am a very pale yellow with bright pink eyes, and a calmer shade of pink for my mane and tale. My mane and tale aren't very long, and I keep my mane in a bun.My Cutie Mark is a open purple book with six sparks scattered above the open pages." Spike looks at Twilight as she finishes reading. "I... I can't believe it!" he says, shocked. "Neither do I, Spike! This pony... she wrote in here... and expected others to read it. But she, she's dead, Spike," Twilight says. "It's almost incomprehensible," She explains. "Has this always been here?" Spike asks. "Why are we just finding this out now?" he questions. Twilight looks around and sees the books scattered everywhere. "I don't know, Spike," she says, picking the books up. "But I want to look into this further. Maybe our friend Angel has all the answers in here," Twilight continues, guiding the books into the room and stacking them neatly. She puts the journal on her side table underneath her lamp and walks out of the room. "But first," she says, walking pas Spike. "The books?" Spike asks, catching up to Twilight. "You guessed it, Spike!" Twilight says, grinning as she walks forward. Spike groans, but follows Twilight. After a mentally exhausting day of sorting and resorting the new books, the poor baby dragon is barely conscious enough to walk to his room. So, being the kind friend that she is, Twilight levitates him to his bed. "Oh, Spike," she says, tucking him in for the night. "You truly are my number one assistant," she explains. Twilight walks down the hall trying not to make noise, but it's like her stepping is maxed in loudness. She finally reaches her room, and carefully shuts the door behind her. She looks proudly at the book shelves, three of them, on the opposite wall of her bed. Then she looks at her bed, folded nicely with navy blue and lavender covers draped neatly on top of it and tucked in so there are no lumps. Her eyes ever so slightly glide over to Angel's journal, and then just as graceful. "No. No, Twilight! It's already very late, and you should be getting to bed," Twilight explains in her head, unblinking and staring at the journal. She gives into temptation, and crawls into bed to open the second page of the book. Before reading, however, Twilight makes an agreement with herself. To only read a few pages and then going to sleep. June 14th 1813Today marks the first official day that I am writing in this journal. As I have stated previous, my name is Angel, and I am Princess Celestia's prized student. But what I may have forgotten to mention is I am what's called a "Bearer of Harmony" what that means is that I am part of a group of ponies sworn to protect the idea of friendship and use it to save Equestria from any who appose the idea. I, along with five others, are tasked with this job. We are important to this land and we can't let every pony down. I am the Element of Magic. Hello! There is also; Mezzo, the Element of Kindness, Sundown, the Element of Honesty, Glade, the Element of Loyalty, Harper, the Element of Laughter, and Free Range the Element of Generosity. We met only one year ago, but have already saved Equestria from an army of Changelings and an army of Minotaur. Did I mention my assistant Jairus? He's a baby dragon that Celestia put in my care. He has an ultramarine blue with a graphite grey stomach, and dull walnut brown eyes, with two small horns on his head the same color of his stomach. He aims to please, but sometimes he doesn't do what I tell him to, and I have to get mad at him. He's not a Bearer though, so he doesn't help with what I do. Any way, I think I'm getting into more detail than I should in a journal. I need to leave soon to meet my friends for a picnic. Harper and Free Range has made us all food to celebrate the anniversary of when we first met a year ago. I'll write about it when I get back. To any who read this, I have to say that Harper and Free Range are amazing at making treats. I hope the future generations can be as masterful as they are. It's odd doing this, to think that I could be either old or dead by the time some pony reads this. It is, almost impossible to understand. But that's the reality of this, Celestia told me that before handing me this. And I can't turn back now, I am a unicorn of my word. The picnic was so much fun. We talked, and reminisced, and ate. Not to mention Harper and Mezzo bringing their lyre and pan flute. Mezzo is a lavender purple unicorn with a short, magenta mane, and gold eyes. His cutie mark is a single black music note. Harper is a sand color earth pony with a long fiery red mane and icy pink eyes. Her cutie mark is a golden harp. Their music is so beautiful and lively for anyone to hear. Free Range and Sun Down even enjoyed a small race from the picnic blanket to the closest tree. Free Range is an avocado green earth pony with a gingerbread mane and sky blue eyes. Her cutie mark is three circus tents. Sun Down is a deep yellow pegasus, with a smoky orange long mane with light teal eyes. Her cutie mark is a sun with a pink heart behind it. Glade and I just sat and listened to the music the whole time. A lot of fun times. We were all born here, in Canterlot, all except Sun Down. She was raised in Los Pegasus. Glade's parents were workers of the Canterlot Gardens, mine organized celebrations in the palace, Mezzo's own a music store selling instruments in town, Harper's parents had jobs as a member of the royal orchestra and one as a street performer. Free Range's parents worked as rodeo clowns but moved back to Canterlot when Free Range was born. What's really strange is that I only knew Glade before I got my cutie mark. We met because our parents worked in the palace. Glade is a sky blue earth pony with a cropped bright yellow mane and red eyes. Her cutie mark is a tree with twisted branches and covered in leaves. On the day I got my cutie mark, was the day we all got our cutie marks. It was the day that Sun Down moved to Canterlot after losing her parents and moving in with her uncle. It was then she knew how important family was and the sacrifices that must be made for them. I got mine from being accepted into Celestia's school, Glade got hers by planting her garden in her back yard. Mezzo got his by at first trying all sorts of different things before giving music a try, he didn't want to follow in his parents hoof steps, but once he picked up the acoustic guitar, he said that he couldn't think of doing anything else. Harper got her cutie mark after practicing, and practicing every kind of instrument out there, she wanting to be like her mom, but just couldn't do it. Then her mom introduced her to the harp and lyre, it was a match made in Heaven. Free Range learned acrobatics and cooking from her parents, and the love for it grew. But without Sun Down's realization, I doubt we could have gotten our cutie marks that day. I'm rambling again aren't I? I can't help it. I have to put details into everything. But I'll try to keep it brief from now on. Anyway, my mom came by when I came back from the park explaining that she won't be here for a week because she's taking vacation to Manehattan. So, I have to take care of my two twin younger siblings Light Crystal and Midnight Swirl, a filly and colt. Both unicorns, both just recently got their cutie marks. Light Crystal will work with gems, and Midnight Swirl will dabble into magic like yours truly. That doesn't mean I want to be responsible for them anymore than i already do. Celestia could call us to anywhere at any point in time. I'd have no back up for babysitting because all my friends will be coming with me! Sun Down has a little sister named Sun Rise, and Mezzo doesn't necessarily have a younger brother, but he treats Symphony like a little brother. So, anyway, yeah I'm taking care of my siblings for a while. They'll be at school most of the time, so I won't have too much to worry about just supper and a snack before bed. Jairus will help too so it shouldn't be too too hard.Sorry if this is a lot to take in, I want to establish everyone I know and talk to the first entry so that I don't have to explain someone new every few pages. It's easier this way. I've been thinking of ways to end the entries, like a way to signify I'm done writing for the day. But I don't know what. I'll think of something tomorrow, I'll just leave it like this for today. June 15th 1813Getting the foals ready for school was harder than what my parents always made me think. But their lunches are packed, and their homework finished. Now I'm just sitting in my room writing this down. Nothing too important today, I have a meeting with Glade and Free Range in regards scheduling and such. Though I don't know how Glade will help, she's a bit of a scatter brain, but she insisted in being apart of the plan. We have to mark down events and birthdays for the up coming months and Free Range and i are the two most organized of the six of us, so it shouldn't take more than two-three hours. Anyway, that's happening and then I got to pick up Jairus's favorite gems from outside the city in the mountain, I get them at a good price because my uncle, Gold Digger, is head of the mines.So that is another thing on the list. I really don't know what else to put down right now, I'll come back in a few hours, maybe after Free Range and Glade have left. I'll see. It is several hours later, and I am exhausted. Scheduling is hard, especially with some pony like Glade. She means well, so I guess I can't complain. I had Jairus pick up the foals because Free and I went over time with the scheduling and I couldn't pick them up. Glade asked him to pick up her sister, Ivy, up from school as well. Jairus, of course, was happy to do it and I'm going to have to reward him when I get back from the mines. I should go soon, but the foals should get a meal too...Well... I don't think they'll starve if I won't feed them for another hour or so, I mean they got back from school fifteen minutes ago, I'm sure they'll be fine. They'll be fine. Right? Oh, I don't know! What should I do? If I feed them now, then I won't get o the mines before their closed! If I leave now, my brother and sister may be starving by the time I get back! Oh, dear. I think I'll ask Light Crystal and Midnight Swirl what they prefer. Okay, so I fed them first, and then ran from panic that I missed my uncle. But I came just in time! But barely. I was gasping for breath, and I almost collapsed of enjoyment from seeing Gold Digger still there. After I calmed down for a few seconds, I explained my situation and how Jairus needed the gems. He nodded, chuckled, and said he would gladly give me some gems for Jairus. He also told me to give his love for the twins, and I did. Now what do I do? I'll ask Celestia what the weather will be this evening. Maybe I'll take a walk to the middle of town and write out there, I'll have to take Midnight and Crystal too, Unless I get them to bed. It is still another hour until their bed time, so I guess I can wait until then. It is several hours later, and Midnight and Crystal are tucked in their beds and I left Jairus to do what ever, as long as he's home at a reasonable time. I love the night. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever witnessed. I love the canvas of all the shades of blue above, sprinkled with white sparkly stars, and the moon with that welcoming face of the mare on it. All around me the crickets chirp, and the leaves rustle from the slight wind. Everything is illuminated by the moon making the town look bold, yet, mysterious. I bag of you, reader, when you have the time, come out at night and just sit in amazing beauty until the sun is raised once more. You will not be disappointed. Everything looks brand new at night. It feels tranquil, but also, so alive! I can't explain it, but please you'll understand if you see it yourself. Count how many constellations you see, I only see two. Ursa Minor and Sirius. Though, I don't know many. Maybe you can do better. I already feel regret though, because you wont see the exact sky I am tonight. Even tomorrow's night sky will be slightly different than tonight. Maybe you could perfect Star Swirl's spell, and we could meet! Probably not though, I would like to communicate with the reader in some way, though. Maybe you'll find this when I am a grandmare! Or even a mother! Wouldn't that be great? I would love that. Anyway, the night is beautiful right now, and I can't describe it in a more detailed way than I already have. I know, too, the tragic story of the night. Of how Princess Luna was banished and exiled to the moon because no pony would stay awake at night so she wrongly disobeyed Celestia, and well, now she is trapped. At least, that's the old mare's tale anyway. But still, the mare in the moon is up there and sometimes I want to believe that it is true. Even though I know it's not. No pony else is out here though, so I don't mind righting down my crazy and foalish dreams. I should be getting home though, but the grass I'm laying in is cool and comfy, and I think I should stay out here for at least another hour. Actually, I think it's not even 10:00 yet. I got time to just lay here and write. I wish there was some pony out here with me though, But I guess, in a way, you're out here with me! I am thankful for that. I don't mind being alone, I just prefer the company of others. Harper doesn't like to be alone at all, Neither does Sun Down. I just prefer to be with ponies. I want them to see this night, but I don't want to disturb them from any night time activities like reading or cleaning. Maybe Jairus isn't busy! I could ask him! It turns out I didn't have to get him at all, I got up and was heading towards my house to see if he was there, when I saw Mezzo practicing his cello! He was just sitting there! On the park bench minding his own business. I asked him if I could join and he agreed. I asked hi why he was out at night, and he explained to me that he was feeling a little bit stressed. I asked him why, and he told me that he still didn't have enough courage to ask Harper out on a date. I chucked a bit and explained that he is brave enough to face certain death, but when it comes to Harper he runs away crying. He nudged me and explained that it is different with mares. When I said, "What kind of a mare would turn down that face?" he told me that it is very likely that Harper would. I disagreed with him. I told him that Harper would be a fool to turn him down. I pointed out that he is a very talented musician, a gentlecolt, kind, polite, and very handsome. He avoided my complements and continued to play his cello. He explained to me that he creates his own music sometimes and that this one he plays when ever he thinks of Harper. I asked him the title of it, And he said he titled it My Melody's Source. He kept strumming the sad, yet hopeful tune and all I did was listen. He then started to do the most incredible thing! As the notes got to the lowest tenner notes, he started to sing. I see you,my love, every day, my love And I know, my love, that you'll never see, my love The passion and longing I feel for you You'll never see, what you can't see! But you are the reason why I feel I can touch the sky The reason why My soul can't die You'll never know You're my melody's source I know what this means, my love, the only thing, my love That keeps me from you, my love, is the fear, my love The fear of I losing you But you'll never see what you can't see You are the reason why I feel I can touch the sky The reason why My soul can't die You'll never know You're my melody's source I told him that that was the first time I heard him sing, and was blown away by it. He blushes, and finishes the song. The the last note echoed away, Mezzo thanked me. He asked me if Harper would like it, which I couldn't lie to him about, so I told him "yes". He blushed a noticeable red, even at night, and said thank you. Mezzo then excused himself, and said that he wanted to be in bed before 10:00. I agreed, explaining I should do the same. So, I am now in my room and laying in bed. But I don't want to sleep yet, so I'm continuing to write. There isn't really a reason why I've been writing literally all day and night, other than the order given by Celestia. I think I just want to give the entire experience of living my life. Even though it has been pretty uneventful for the past two days. I don't really know how to make this exciting though, maybe Celestia will need the six of us soon and then I'll have something to right about. Until then, I'll just have to keep on rambling until I decide on a good place to stop for the night. I really don't know if my life seems very interesting so far, but this is all I got. I hope Mezzo gets the bravery to ask out Harper though, I always thought they'd be a good couple. I don't know for sure though. A unicorn and an earth pony in love, that would be unique to see. I've only seen unicorns with unicorn, pegasi with pegasi, and earth ponies with earth ponies. But maybe it's time for a change. It's not like two mares or two stallions getting married! That would be utterly ridiculous and insane! I'm hoping Harper and Mezzo are getting together though. I guess there isn't much more to say about today, other than just recapping. But I don't really need to re-say anything I've already been saying. It is almost 10:15, so I should be getting to bed so that I can get up early to get the foals to school. I'm not tired enough though so I think I'll reread a few chapters of one of my books and then go to sleep. That sounds like a plan! I like plans, they make me fell better about the day. I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, but I think it's going to be fun! Maybe I'll talk to a friend. Maybe we'll be sent somewhere to fight something. I don't know though, and I won't know until I wake up tomorrow. I think I do need to fall asleep though. I guess this is as good as a time than any to leave this day here. Sincerely, your friend, Angel. June 17 1813Author's Note Sorry for such a long time to wait, I just couldn't find the right subjects to talk about in this chapter. But next chapter, we're back with Twilight so I'll upload it faster than I have been. Until then, you'll have to be patient. June 17 1813 There was really nothing to report on yesterday, so I didn't write anything down. As for today, still nothing, but I would feel guilty skipping more than one day at a time. Celestia gave me a job to do, and I'm doing it. I was just thinking about the song Mezzo sang last night, and I have to say I truly enjoyed it. If only he had the courage to sing it to Harper. But that's not important right now. What is important is feeding the fouls breakfast. They have no school today so they will be around all day. Maybe I'll get Glade and Ivy over here for a play date. Sun Down could bring Sun Rise, and Mezzo could bring Symphony! It'll be fun for all the foals, and us. They are all friends so it's not like there will be a problem. I fed them some apple porridge and they seemed to like it, though it is a fairly warm day. I sent a letter out to Glade, Sun Down, and Mezzo as well explaining my plan. I hope to hear an answer in about an hour or so, maybe two. Until then, I am outside with them and they are practicing levitation and other magics like that. I got to say, Light Crystal is not doing too good with the whole magic thing. I tried to give her a few pointers yesterday, but she doesn't seem to understand magic like the way Midnight Swirl and I do. i can't help but feel sorry for her, because it is always hard for a unicorn that can't do magic as well as others, I was like that too but that was before I got my cutie mark. After that, well, you can guess how good I had gotten. Still, I see her struggling and my heart melts. Mezzo and Sun Down came after all, and we talked as the foals played. I complemented Sun Rise on her flying skill when they got the ball stuck in a tree. I complimented after she tried to get it for five minutes and me having to levitate it down for them. Cute foals though, Sun Down is doing well too, working hard with her uncle and keeping Sun Rise in line. Mezzo is feeling better about what happened the night before, when he and I were talking about Harper. I made dinner for everyone and we ate in the kitchen. I really enjoyed it, so did Symphony and Sun Down. Every pony else though, they had some criticisms for me. That is the last time I cook for them again. Midnight and Crystal have no choice in the matter though, they are stuck with me for a week. Even Jairus said that it was best for him to do the cooking from now on. Can you imagine? A dragon cooking! I mean, I love him but I really can't imagine a dragon being very good at cooking. Some how I have neglected to write for the rest of the day. After breakfast, we all took the foals to the park and that's where we were all day. Glade and Ivy found us there, she thought that she was supposed to meet us here, and that's why she didn't come over. Anyway, We all had fun at park. I really don't know what I'll do tomorrow, I have another full day with Crystal and Swirl so I have to think on something quickly. So I really don't know what to do, it really hasn't been all that exciting, eventful, but not very exciting. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I really don't know if it will though, aside from saving Equestria and friends my life is pretty boring. I hope there is some joy for you though, I really do. This is going to be a short entry though, I can't really think of anything else to say about today other than I had fun and Mezzo is doing better than he was when we last talked. Sun Down is working hard too, as she usually does. As for every pony else, they're fine too. I really don't know what to add in that you wouldn't already know from today, I'm sorry I am trying to make this very entertaining but I think I maybe failing. I'll try to do harder though. I could tell you more about myself, like how my favorite color is pink and how I'm nineteen years old. My dad is an unicorn named Spell Caster and my mom is a unicorn named Enchantressa. I was engaged to a unicorn named Scarlet Gem for about two months, but he broke it off because he fell in love with a different mare. It was sad but Glade, my oldest and dearest friend, was there for me. I met Harper and Free Range at the same time. Free Range came up to me, and complemented my bun while Harper was trying to pull her away from me saying that is is rude to come up to random ponies and talk to them. I met the others in a more dire situation. When we discovered we are the Elements of Harmony. But that's another entry for another time. As for right now? I still can't come up with anything to say. I am truly stumped as to what to right down next. I have a feeling that I should stop, but something deep inside me is encouraging me to write more. But I can't understand why or how. It's like I can't be satisfied with what I wrote already, and need to write more. I can't explain it. I am getting tired though, maybe the feeling can excuse my tiredness and allow me the rest I need to write more for tomorrow! I really want to try, but I hate going to bed unsatisfied. I think I'll do it though. Sincerely, your friend, Angel. Twilight 1After a long night of sorting books, and an uncomfortable back, Spike is ready for breakfast. The only problem is, Twilight isn't in her room, or library, or kitchen, or washroom, or anywhere in the castle. Needless to say, he is a worried Number One Assistant. He was thinking of asking any of their friends if they know anything, especially if that meant going to talk to Rarity! "Yup! I got to go tell Rarity that Twilight is missing," he concludes, determinant. "For Twilight's sake, of course," he adds. He walks through the halls to the door. He opens it, and blinks at how bright the sun is today. He recovers his eyes, and turns right for Rarity's boutique. There she is. Asleep in the grass. Though he is glad that his friend is safe and sound, he does feel a little cheated out of seeing Rarity today. He runs to her calling, "Twilight? Twilight?" he gets up to her and she is still asleep. "Twilight, ponies are staring," Spike says, shaking her a little bit. Twilight flutters her eyes open and sits up slowly. "Oh, Twilight! You're up. Thank Celestia," Spike says, helping her up. "What were you doing out here sleeping?" he asks. "I was reading the diary and Angel explained the night, so it inspired me to sit out here and read more out here. She was right, the night is lovelier than I thought," Twilight explains. Confused, Spike helps Twilight up and leads her to the castle. "Had you been out there all night?" Spike asks, entering the doors. "Yes," Twilight responds, being lead by Spike to the table. "Did you stay up all night?" he asks. "No," Twilight says, in the middle of a yawn. "What all did you learn so far?" he asks, genuinely curious. Twilight sits on one of the stools and says, "Angel was a unicorn with twin siblings a fair bit younger than her, like an Apple Bloom and Apple Jack relationship. She was Celestia's prized pupal like I am now, but lived in Canterlot. She had five friends named; Free Range, Glade, Sun Down, Harper, and Mezzo. And get this, three of them are Earth Ponies, two of them are unicorns, and one of them is a pegasus!" Twilight explains. "And another thing, Mezzo is a Unicorn stallion in love with Harper a Earth Pony mare," Twilight adds. "Oh! And I almost forgot! She had a baby dragon too! His name was Jairus!" Twilight blurts. "A dragon? Do you think he could be still alive?" Spike asks. Blinking, Twilight realizes that Spike could be right. She wonders if Celestia knows anything about his whereabouts. Then something else, something more confusing, runs through the princess's mind. Celestia, why hadn't she said anything about Angel and her friends? This is quite odd, and Twilight decides to get to the bottom of it. "Spike," she says, "Send a letter to Celestia explaining our find and ask her if Jairus is still alive. Meanwhile, I think it is important that our friends know what we found," Twilight explains. Spike nods, writes the letter, and sends it to Celestia though is fierce green dragon's breath. "Are we ready?" Twilight asks. "Yeah! Where are we going first?" Spike asks. "Fluttershy, I tell you spike the description of Angel and Fluttershy is uncanny!" Twilight explains. "I always think of her when I read Angel's words, even though Angel is a unicorn," Twilight continues. "Well, let's go! I can see this is exciting to you, Twilight," Spike says. And it's true, Twilight has been smiling since Spike woke her up only a few minutes ago. She basically prances though the hallway to the door. Spike barely can keep up with her. Twilight opens the huge, heavy doors, walks down the few steps, and walks towards the town. A few ponies say hi as the dragon and princess walk through the town, Lyra and Bonbon being two of them. On the way to Fluttershy's cottage, Spike and Twilight get stopped by Pinkie. "Howdy there, Twilight! Hey, Spike! Where are you goin' in such a hurry? Are you seeing how fast you can walk?" she gasps, "Are you having a walking race? Oh, can I join? I just love racing!" before Pinkie says anything else, Spike stops her. "We're going over to see Fluttershy's. If you want you can come with us!" "Okie-dokie!" Pinkie cheers. "Why are we going there?" "I want to wait until we get there, Pinkie," Twilight says. "Oh, okay! I am so excited!!" Pinkie cheers again. As the three friends walk briskly to their goal, well two walk and the third bounces, Twilight continues to question Celestia's role in this. Did she mean to keep it a secret? Was Celestia just waiting for a time to tell Twilight that her and her friends weren't the first, and probably won't be the last? Was Angel supposed to be the Princess of Friendship? What happened to her? "Twilight?" She must know something about this. "Twilight?" Twilight thinks back to the journal and wonders why she found it yesterday and not any other time she's walked through the halls. "Twilight?!" But still, it is nice to know the ponies of the past and- "Twilight!" Twilight focuses out of her thoughts to see that they have made it to Fluttershy's cottage and and confused and frustrated Spike is glaring at her. "I'm sorry, Spike! Were you saying something?" Twilight asks. "I said that Pinkie just knocked on the door, so we're just waiting for Fluttershy to answer," Spike says, a little annoyed. Twilight blushes, and is about to say something, when some pony calls from the back. "Hello? I'm tending to the garden, come on back please." The three friends fallow instructions, and walk to the back of the house. There, they see Fluttershy doing exactly what she has stated previously. She is laying down some white and yellow daisies next to more of the same flowers. "So, what do you want to talk about? And why'd I have to wait?!" Pinkie insists. Twilight tells them all about Angel and what she has read thus far. Twilight tells them about each pony in turn saying which Element they represent. She tells her friends about the purpose of the journal and where Spike and she found it. She talks about the letter they sent about twenty-five minutes ago and how she expects a reply soon. The mares sit in front of her, intrigued and listening intently each one wide eyes and focused. When Twilight is done, all three mares sit in silence, even Pinkie Pie. "Whoa!" Pinkie breathes. "And you're sure that Celestia will know the answers you're looking for?" Fluttershy asks. "She's got to, Fluttershy, she knew Angel. Angel was what I was four years ago," Twilight explains. "And, I have this feeling that Angel was supposed to take my title as friendship, something must have happened to her to prevent that," she continues. Pinkie gasps, "What if she did the same thing a Sunset Shimmer?! And now in an alternate Dimension where she lives in secret!" she guesses. "That's very likely, Pinkie, but I'd rather hear it from Celestia," Twilight explains. "Who else have you told?" Fluttershy asks. "Just you two," Spike pipes up. "We were planning to go to Applejack next," Twilight adds. "Why not have a picnic to tell every pony else at once?" Fluttershy suggests. "Oh! Oh! I could plan it! We could have it here and I'll make all the food and- oh! We could play games too and-" Pinkie exclaims. "That sounds like a great idea, Pinkie," Twilight says, politely cutting her off. "I know!" Pinkie says, smiling. The mares and Spike spend the rest of the day planning the picnic and at sun set Spike and Twilight decide that they have to go, Pinkie too says that the Cakes need help closing for the night. They say 'good-bye' to Fluttershy and happily walk to their designated places to be. Walking through the town for the second time today, Twilight watches the ponies slowly decrease in numbers as they walk to their own designated places. She is thankful to live here and has good friends she loves. She asks Spike if the Friendship letters will ever be found in a hundred years or so. "If they are, then I'm sure we'll be alive to witness it," Spike explains. "Well, this is my stop, good night, Twilight! Good night, Spike!" Pinkie says, bouncing away. "I hope we are, Spike," Twilight says, smiling warmly as Pinkie walks into the Sugar Cube Corner. They walk into the castle, and go to their respective rooms. Twilight curls up into her blankets and opens to the next entry of the journal. June 20th 1813I met a colt the other day, His name was Montana Blue and he was a unicorn new to Canterlot. He had previously lived in a cabin in the big open space below the mountain. There is no city or town down there, just an open field. I found it so odd that he would move from somewhere so quiet to a town of thirty eight ponies at least, if you don't count the winter months. He was white with a gold mane and lavender eyes and his cutie mark is three paint brushes, he was a painter and I wouldn't mind seeing him again. I'm not saying that I'm over what happened to me, it still hurts seeing him in town with Rare Ocean, it makes me think that she should have been me, but something about Montana Blue makes me forget about him. Not even Glade can manage that. Though it isn't from a lack of trying, every time I see her she tries to come up with ways to make me forget, sometimes it works. I'm sorry I'm just mentioning this now, about the heartache, but I figured it was the right time. Today me and Jairus went into town today, it was flee market and we were low on vegetables and oats. The ponies here are very kind, unless it comes to flee market. Then they are bargaining hard for that extra bit. Some sales, though, were very reasonable and we didn't have to bargain at all. Anyway, we're back home now, and I am bored. The twins just went back home yesterday and I got to admit, I liked having them here. I'll have to babysit again sometime. So, I am bored, and I am done everything that I need to do. I could visit Harper, we had made plans to visit each other soon, I could visit Free Range! I had made the same promise to her yesterday. I don't know though, I just feel like doing nothing today, and I can see now why ponies like to keep busy during their long days. The thing about me, though, is that I am stubborn and will go though with plans even if I don't like them. I wish I could ask you what I should do, you know what? I'll clean. The house does need sweeping, and maybe I could pluck weeds that have decided that they were going to make a home in my yard. To that I say, "Ha!" I shall pluck those weeds until they are no more! It is now mid noon, and I have swept and plucked the weeds. I am now bored again. And I think I'm hungry. I'll make something later though. I think I have decided to talk to Harper today. I don't know if she's busy though, I guess I'll find out when I visit her house. It turns out Harper is busy with her family today. Before you start wondering, yes I visited Free Range too. She was busy also. I never knew a boredom like this before. Nothing could be going more wrong right now. I really can't understand my thought process, no pony want's to listen to an old mare's boredom. I am sorry, I won't come back to this journal until I have something better to talk about. It is about fifteen minutes later, and Jairus has just received a letter from Princess Celestia requesting mine, Glade, Mezzo, and Free Range's assistance. She requested us to come tomorrow at early morning to discuss something with us. Probably needing us to go on an assignment! I cannot wait to actually show you what I do for Equestria! Well, not exactly show you, but tell you about it. I promise you, it won't be disappointing. Maybe Mezzo and I will get to use our magic! That will be fun explaining! We could be fighting something or some pony! I might not make it until tomorrow morning, we haven't had an assignment since before I got my journal. I'm sure you probably skipped ahead by now, reading all this boring stuff about my life. I'm sure what you read was far more exciting than my sitting at the table barely containing myself with the prospect of actually doing something. I wish I knew what was going to happen. Was it difficult for me to do? Was it easy? I wish you could tell me. Anyway I got to tell Glade, Free Range, and Mezzo. I know they'll be excited too, it really has been a while since we did something we've done something like this. But what ever the Princess has in mind for us is sure to be exciting. I just can't imagine why she needs Magic, Kindness, Loyalty and Generosity and not the rest of us. Anyway, I need to send the letters, and Jairus needs a bath before it gets dark. Sincerely, your friend, Angel Author's Note I am so sorry, I had MAJOR computer computer problems. I had to take it in to the store to fix, and it took months.
Discovery"Come on, Spike! We got to get these all in by this afternoon!" Twilight says, levitating several piles of books. "I know, Twilight! I'm on it!" Spike says, cheerfully. Twilight and Spike had just gotten a large order of books from Celestia and are putting them away in her bedroom. Celestia wants Twilight to read up on her parliament and government books to better understand what is expected of her as a princess. "You coming, Spike?" Twilight asks, concerned. "I told you Twilight," Spike says, walking into her room. "I'm on it!" he explains as he puts down the pile of seven books in his claws. "Good job, Spike. Let's keep going," Twilight explains. They walk out of Twilight's room, and Twilight trips abruptly on a tile. "Mph!" "What happened?" Spike says, rushing to Twilight's side. "A tile is loose, that's all. Let's keep bringing in books. We got three whole piles still waiting for us," Twilight explains simply. When Twilight is returning to her room, she trips again, lets go of all the books, and they sprawl all over the hall with a huge thud echoing the large hall. She looks at the books, and realizes that only three out of the fifteen slid into her room. "You alright?" Spike asks again. "Yeah, I'm fine Spike, it's the tile!" Twilight explains a little frustrated. Leaving Spike to put his pile in her room, Twilight lifts the tile to see what's going on. She gasps, and drops the tile, splitting it in two big pieces. She wonders, and lift the two pieces of tile. Spike comes running towards her. "What!?" he asks. "A journal!" she exclaims. Twilight levitates a once red, but now brown, leather book with yellow and frayed pages and black sown in lettering at the front and it has layers upon layers of dust. Twilight brushes off the dust, and Angel's Diary is what it says. "Huh?" How did that get there?" Spike questions. "I don't know, Spike, but it's some pony's journal. We need to find the owner," Twilight says resolutely. "We'll start in Ponyville, and go from there," she explains. "It looks old, Twilight. Like no one has used it in years," Spike observes. "Well, we can't just read some pony's journal, that's not right," Twilight explains. "No, but it's all dusty, I don't think any pony has used it recently," Spike adds. "Well, I suppose, but I can't help but feel we should try to find the owner," Twilight says, face to face with spike. "I don't want to either, but how do you know some pony is going to claim it?" Spike asks. "How do you know some pony won't?" is Twilight's response. "Maybe it has a date inside, if it isn't resent, then we'll keep it," Twilight reasons. Spike nods, and the cover is opened. On the right corner in very messy black writing is the date June 13th 1813. Both Spike and Twilight gasp. Twilight reads the first entry out loud. "Princess Celestia told me to record everything I can to preserve it for future generations, so here I am. I am Angel, I am a Unicorn and I am the prized pupal of Princess Celestia in her school for Talented Unicorns. For reference, I am a very pale yellow with bright pink eyes, and a calmer shade of pink for my mane and tale. My mane and tale aren't very long, and I keep my mane in a bun.My Cutie Mark is a open purple book with six sparks scattered above the open pages." Spike looks at Twilight as she finishes reading. "I... I can't believe it!" he says, shocked. "Neither do I, Spike! This pony... she wrote in here... and expected others to read it. But she, she's dead, Spike," Twilight says. "It's almost incomprehensible," She explains. "Has this always been here?" Spike asks. "Why are we just finding this out now?" he questions. Twilight looks around and sees the books scattered everywhere. "I don't know, Spike," she says, picking the books up. "But I want to look into this further. Maybe our friend Angel has all the answers in here," Twilight continues, guiding the books into the room and stacking them neatly. She puts the journal on her side table underneath her lamp and walks out of the room. "But first," she says, walking pas Spike. "The books?" Spike asks, catching up to Twilight. "You guessed it, Spike!" Twilight says, grinning as she walks forward. Spike groans, but follows Twilight. After a mentally exhausting day of sorting and resorting the new books, the poor baby dragon is barely conscious enough to walk to his room. So, being the kind friend that she is, Twilight levitates him to his bed. "Oh, Spike," she says, tucking him in for the night. "You truly are my number one assistant," she explains. Twilight walks down the hall trying not to make noise, but it's like her stepping is maxed in loudness. She finally reaches her room, and carefully shuts the door behind her. She looks proudly at the book shelves, three of them, on the opposite wall of her bed. Then she looks at her bed, folded nicely with navy blue and lavender covers draped neatly on top of it and tucked in so there are no lumps. Her eyes ever so slightly glide over to Angel's journal, and then just as graceful. "No. No, Twilight! It's already very late, and you should be getting to bed," Twilight explains in her head, unblinking and staring at the journal. She gives into temptation, and crawls into bed to open the second page of the book. Before reading, however, Twilight makes an agreement with herself. To only read a few pages and then going to sleep.
June 14th 1813Today marks the first official day that I am writing in this journal. As I have stated previous, my name is Angel, and I am Princess Celestia's prized student. But what I may have forgotten to mention is I am what's called a "Bearer of Harmony" what that means is that I am part of a group of ponies sworn to protect the idea of friendship and use it to save Equestria from any who appose the idea. I, along with five others, are tasked with this job. We are important to this land and we can't let every pony down. I am the Element of Magic. Hello! There is also; Mezzo, the Element of Kindness, Sundown, the Element of Honesty, Glade, the Element of Loyalty, Harper, the Element of Laughter, and Free Range the Element of Generosity. We met only one year ago, but have already saved Equestria from an army of Changelings and an army of Minotaur. Did I mention my assistant Jairus? He's a baby dragon that Celestia put in my care. He has an ultramarine blue with a graphite grey stomach, and dull walnut brown eyes, with two small horns on his head the same color of his stomach. He aims to please, but sometimes he doesn't do what I tell him to, and I have to get mad at him. He's not a Bearer though, so he doesn't help with what I do. Any way, I think I'm getting into more detail than I should in a journal. I need to leave soon to meet my friends for a picnic. Harper and Free Range has made us all food to celebrate the anniversary of when we first met a year ago. I'll write about it when I get back. To any who read this, I have to say that Harper and Free Range are amazing at making treats. I hope the future generations can be as masterful as they are. It's odd doing this, to think that I could be either old or dead by the time some pony reads this. It is, almost impossible to understand. But that's the reality of this, Celestia told me that before handing me this. And I can't turn back now, I am a unicorn of my word. The picnic was so much fun. We talked, and reminisced, and ate. Not to mention Harper and Mezzo bringing their lyre and pan flute. Mezzo is a lavender purple unicorn with a short, magenta mane, and gold eyes. His cutie mark is a single black music note. Harper is a sand color earth pony with a long fiery red mane and icy pink eyes. Her cutie mark is a golden harp. Their music is so beautiful and lively for anyone to hear. Free Range and Sun Down even enjoyed a small race from the picnic blanket to the closest tree. Free Range is an avocado green earth pony with a gingerbread mane and sky blue eyes. Her cutie mark is three circus tents. Sun Down is a deep yellow pegasus, with a smoky orange long mane with light teal eyes. Her cutie mark is a sun with a pink heart behind it. Glade and I just sat and listened to the music the whole time. A lot of fun times. We were all born here, in Canterlot, all except Sun Down. She was raised in Los Pegasus. Glade's parents were workers of the Canterlot Gardens, mine organized celebrations in the palace, Mezzo's own a music store selling instruments in town, Harper's parents had jobs as a member of the royal orchestra and one as a street performer. Free Range's parents worked as rodeo clowns but moved back to Canterlot when Free Range was born. What's really strange is that I only knew Glade before I got my cutie mark. We met because our parents worked in the palace. Glade is a sky blue earth pony with a cropped bright yellow mane and red eyes. Her cutie mark is a tree with twisted branches and covered in leaves. On the day I got my cutie mark, was the day we all got our cutie marks. It was the day that Sun Down moved to Canterlot after losing her parents and moving in with her uncle. It was then she knew how important family was and the sacrifices that must be made for them. I got mine from being accepted into Celestia's school, Glade got hers by planting her garden in her back yard. Mezzo got his by at first trying all sorts of different things before giving music a try, he didn't want to follow in his parents hoof steps, but once he picked up the acoustic guitar, he said that he couldn't think of doing anything else. Harper got her cutie mark after practicing, and practicing every kind of instrument out there, she wanting to be like her mom, but just couldn't do it. Then her mom introduced her to the harp and lyre, it was a match made in Heaven. Free Range learned acrobatics and cooking from her parents, and the love for it grew. But without Sun Down's realization, I doubt we could have gotten our cutie marks that day. I'm rambling again aren't I? I can't help it. I have to put details into everything. But I'll try to keep it brief from now on. Anyway, my mom came by when I came back from the park explaining that she won't be here for a week because she's taking vacation to Manehattan. So, I have to take care of my two twin younger siblings Light Crystal and Midnight Swirl, a filly and colt. Both unicorns, both just recently got their cutie marks. Light Crystal will work with gems, and Midnight Swirl will dabble into magic like yours truly. That doesn't mean I want to be responsible for them anymore than i already do. Celestia could call us to anywhere at any point in time. I'd have no back up for babysitting because all my friends will be coming with me! Sun Down has a little sister named Sun Rise, and Mezzo doesn't necessarily have a younger brother, but he treats Symphony like a little brother. So, anyway, yeah I'm taking care of my siblings for a while. They'll be at school most of the time, so I won't have too much to worry about just supper and a snack before bed. Jairus will help too so it shouldn't be too too hard.Sorry if this is a lot to take in, I want to establish everyone I know and talk to the first entry so that I don't have to explain someone new every few pages. It's easier this way. I've been thinking of ways to end the entries, like a way to signify I'm done writing for the day. But I don't know what. I'll think of something tomorrow, I'll just leave it like this for today.
June 15th 1813Getting the foals ready for school was harder than what my parents always made me think. But their lunches are packed, and their homework finished. Now I'm just sitting in my room writing this down. Nothing too important today, I have a meeting with Glade and Free Range in regards scheduling and such. Though I don't know how Glade will help, she's a bit of a scatter brain, but she insisted in being apart of the plan. We have to mark down events and birthdays for the up coming months and Free Range and i are the two most organized of the six of us, so it shouldn't take more than two-three hours. Anyway, that's happening and then I got to pick up Jairus's favorite gems from outside the city in the mountain, I get them at a good price because my uncle, Gold Digger, is head of the mines.So that is another thing on the list. I really don't know what else to put down right now, I'll come back in a few hours, maybe after Free Range and Glade have left. I'll see. It is several hours later, and I am exhausted. Scheduling is hard, especially with some pony like Glade. She means well, so I guess I can't complain. I had Jairus pick up the foals because Free and I went over time with the scheduling and I couldn't pick them up. Glade asked him to pick up her sister, Ivy, up from school as well. Jairus, of course, was happy to do it and I'm going to have to reward him when I get back from the mines. I should go soon, but the foals should get a meal too...Well... I don't think they'll starve if I won't feed them for another hour or so, I mean they got back from school fifteen minutes ago, I'm sure they'll be fine. They'll be fine. Right? Oh, I don't know! What should I do? If I feed them now, then I won't get o the mines before their closed! If I leave now, my brother and sister may be starving by the time I get back! Oh, dear. I think I'll ask Light Crystal and Midnight Swirl what they prefer. Okay, so I fed them first, and then ran from panic that I missed my uncle. But I came just in time! But barely. I was gasping for breath, and I almost collapsed of enjoyment from seeing Gold Digger still there. After I calmed down for a few seconds, I explained my situation and how Jairus needed the gems. He nodded, chuckled, and said he would gladly give me some gems for Jairus. He also told me to give his love for the twins, and I did. Now what do I do? I'll ask Celestia what the weather will be this evening. Maybe I'll take a walk to the middle of town and write out there, I'll have to take Midnight and Crystal too, Unless I get them to bed. It is still another hour until their bed time, so I guess I can wait until then. It is several hours later, and Midnight and Crystal are tucked in their beds and I left Jairus to do what ever, as long as he's home at a reasonable time. I love the night. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever witnessed. I love the canvas of all the shades of blue above, sprinkled with white sparkly stars, and the moon with that welcoming face of the mare on it. All around me the crickets chirp, and the leaves rustle from the slight wind. Everything is illuminated by the moon making the town look bold, yet, mysterious. I bag of you, reader, when you have the time, come out at night and just sit in amazing beauty until the sun is raised once more. You will not be disappointed. Everything looks brand new at night. It feels tranquil, but also, so alive! I can't explain it, but please you'll understand if you see it yourself. Count how many constellations you see, I only see two. Ursa Minor and Sirius. Though, I don't know many. Maybe you can do better. I already feel regret though, because you wont see the exact sky I am tonight. Even tomorrow's night sky will be slightly different than tonight. Maybe you could perfect Star Swirl's spell, and we could meet! Probably not though, I would like to communicate with the reader in some way, though. Maybe you'll find this when I am a grandmare! Or even a mother! Wouldn't that be great? I would love that. Anyway, the night is beautiful right now, and I can't describe it in a more detailed way than I already have. I know, too, the tragic story of the night. Of how Princess Luna was banished and exiled to the moon because no pony would stay awake at night so she wrongly disobeyed Celestia, and well, now she is trapped. At least, that's the old mare's tale anyway. But still, the mare in the moon is up there and sometimes I want to believe that it is true. Even though I know it's not. No pony else is out here though, so I don't mind righting down my crazy and foalish dreams. I should be getting home though, but the grass I'm laying in is cool and comfy, and I think I should stay out here for at least another hour. Actually, I think it's not even 10:00 yet. I got time to just lay here and write. I wish there was some pony out here with me though, But I guess, in a way, you're out here with me! I am thankful for that. I don't mind being alone, I just prefer the company of others. Harper doesn't like to be alone at all, Neither does Sun Down. I just prefer to be with ponies. I want them to see this night, but I don't want to disturb them from any night time activities like reading or cleaning. Maybe Jairus isn't busy! I could ask him! It turns out I didn't have to get him at all, I got up and was heading towards my house to see if he was there, when I saw Mezzo practicing his cello! He was just sitting there! On the park bench minding his own business. I asked him if I could join and he agreed. I asked hi why he was out at night, and he explained to me that he was feeling a little bit stressed. I asked him why, and he told me that he still didn't have enough courage to ask Harper out on a date. I chucked a bit and explained that he is brave enough to face certain death, but when it comes to Harper he runs away crying. He nudged me and explained that it is different with mares. When I said, "What kind of a mare would turn down that face?" he told me that it is very likely that Harper would. I disagreed with him. I told him that Harper would be a fool to turn him down. I pointed out that he is a very talented musician, a gentlecolt, kind, polite, and very handsome. He avoided my complements and continued to play his cello. He explained to me that he creates his own music sometimes and that this one he plays when ever he thinks of Harper. I asked him the title of it, And he said he titled it My Melody's Source. He kept strumming the sad, yet hopeful tune and all I did was listen. He then started to do the most incredible thing! As the notes got to the lowest tenner notes, he started to sing. I see you,my love, every day, my love And I know, my love, that you'll never see, my love The passion and longing I feel for you You'll never see, what you can't see! But you are the reason why I feel I can touch the sky The reason why My soul can't die You'll never know You're my melody's source I know what this means, my love, the only thing, my love That keeps me from you, my love, is the fear, my love The fear of I losing you But you'll never see what you can't see You are the reason why I feel I can touch the sky The reason why My soul can't die You'll never know You're my melody's source I told him that that was the first time I heard him sing, and was blown away by it. He blushes, and finishes the song. The the last note echoed away, Mezzo thanked me. He asked me if Harper would like it, which I couldn't lie to him about, so I told him "yes". He blushed a noticeable red, even at night, and said thank you. Mezzo then excused himself, and said that he wanted to be in bed before 10:00. I agreed, explaining I should do the same. So, I am now in my room and laying in bed. But I don't want to sleep yet, so I'm continuing to write. There isn't really a reason why I've been writing literally all day and night, other than the order given by Celestia. I think I just want to give the entire experience of living my life. Even though it has been pretty uneventful for the past two days. I don't really know how to make this exciting though, maybe Celestia will need the six of us soon and then I'll have something to right about. Until then, I'll just have to keep on rambling until I decide on a good place to stop for the night. I really don't know if my life seems very interesting so far, but this is all I got. I hope Mezzo gets the bravery to ask out Harper though, I always thought they'd be a good couple. I don't know for sure though. A unicorn and an earth pony in love, that would be unique to see. I've only seen unicorns with unicorn, pegasi with pegasi, and earth ponies with earth ponies. But maybe it's time for a change. It's not like two mares or two stallions getting married! That would be utterly ridiculous and insane! I'm hoping Harper and Mezzo are getting together though. I guess there isn't much more to say about today, other than just recapping. But I don't really need to re-say anything I've already been saying. It is almost 10:15, so I should be getting to bed so that I can get up early to get the foals to school. I'm not tired enough though so I think I'll reread a few chapters of one of my books and then go to sleep. That sounds like a plan! I like plans, they make me fell better about the day. I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, but I think it's going to be fun! Maybe I'll talk to a friend. Maybe we'll be sent somewhere to fight something. I don't know though, and I won't know until I wake up tomorrow. I think I do need to fall asleep though. I guess this is as good as a time than any to leave this day here. Sincerely, your friend, Angel.
June 17 1813Author's Note Sorry for such a long time to wait, I just couldn't find the right subjects to talk about in this chapter. But next chapter, we're back with Twilight so I'll upload it faster than I have been. Until then, you'll have to be patient. June 17 1813 There was really nothing to report on yesterday, so I didn't write anything down. As for today, still nothing, but I would feel guilty skipping more than one day at a time. Celestia gave me a job to do, and I'm doing it. I was just thinking about the song Mezzo sang last night, and I have to say I truly enjoyed it. If only he had the courage to sing it to Harper. But that's not important right now. What is important is feeding the fouls breakfast. They have no school today so they will be around all day. Maybe I'll get Glade and Ivy over here for a play date. Sun Down could bring Sun Rise, and Mezzo could bring Symphony! It'll be fun for all the foals, and us. They are all friends so it's not like there will be a problem. I fed them some apple porridge and they seemed to like it, though it is a fairly warm day. I sent a letter out to Glade, Sun Down, and Mezzo as well explaining my plan. I hope to hear an answer in about an hour or so, maybe two. Until then, I am outside with them and they are practicing levitation and other magics like that. I got to say, Light Crystal is not doing too good with the whole magic thing. I tried to give her a few pointers yesterday, but she doesn't seem to understand magic like the way Midnight Swirl and I do. i can't help but feel sorry for her, because it is always hard for a unicorn that can't do magic as well as others, I was like that too but that was before I got my cutie mark. After that, well, you can guess how good I had gotten. Still, I see her struggling and my heart melts. Mezzo and Sun Down came after all, and we talked as the foals played. I complemented Sun Rise on her flying skill when they got the ball stuck in a tree. I complimented after she tried to get it for five minutes and me having to levitate it down for them. Cute foals though, Sun Down is doing well too, working hard with her uncle and keeping Sun Rise in line. Mezzo is feeling better about what happened the night before, when he and I were talking about Harper. I made dinner for everyone and we ate in the kitchen. I really enjoyed it, so did Symphony and Sun Down. Every pony else though, they had some criticisms for me. That is the last time I cook for them again. Midnight and Crystal have no choice in the matter though, they are stuck with me for a week. Even Jairus said that it was best for him to do the cooking from now on. Can you imagine? A dragon cooking! I mean, I love him but I really can't imagine a dragon being very good at cooking. Some how I have neglected to write for the rest of the day. After breakfast, we all took the foals to the park and that's where we were all day. Glade and Ivy found us there, she thought that she was supposed to meet us here, and that's why she didn't come over. Anyway, We all had fun at park. I really don't know what I'll do tomorrow, I have another full day with Crystal and Swirl so I have to think on something quickly. So I really don't know what to do, it really hasn't been all that exciting, eventful, but not very exciting. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I really don't know if it will though, aside from saving Equestria and friends my life is pretty boring. I hope there is some joy for you though, I really do. This is going to be a short entry though, I can't really think of anything else to say about today other than I had fun and Mezzo is doing better than he was when we last talked. Sun Down is working hard too, as she usually does. As for every pony else, they're fine too. I really don't know what to add in that you wouldn't already know from today, I'm sorry I am trying to make this very entertaining but I think I maybe failing. I'll try to do harder though. I could tell you more about myself, like how my favorite color is pink and how I'm nineteen years old. My dad is an unicorn named Spell Caster and my mom is a unicorn named Enchantressa. I was engaged to a unicorn named Scarlet Gem for about two months, but he broke it off because he fell in love with a different mare. It was sad but Glade, my oldest and dearest friend, was there for me. I met Harper and Free Range at the same time. Free Range came up to me, and complemented my bun while Harper was trying to pull her away from me saying that is is rude to come up to random ponies and talk to them. I met the others in a more dire situation. When we discovered we are the Elements of Harmony. But that's another entry for another time. As for right now? I still can't come up with anything to say. I am truly stumped as to what to right down next. I have a feeling that I should stop, but something deep inside me is encouraging me to write more. But I can't understand why or how. It's like I can't be satisfied with what I wrote already, and need to write more. I can't explain it. I am getting tired though, maybe the feeling can excuse my tiredness and allow me the rest I need to write more for tomorrow! I really want to try, but I hate going to bed unsatisfied. I think I'll do it though. Sincerely, your friend, Angel.
Twilight 1After a long night of sorting books, and an uncomfortable back, Spike is ready for breakfast. The only problem is, Twilight isn't in her room, or library, or kitchen, or washroom, or anywhere in the castle. Needless to say, he is a worried Number One Assistant. He was thinking of asking any of their friends if they know anything, especially if that meant going to talk to Rarity! "Yup! I got to go tell Rarity that Twilight is missing," he concludes, determinant. "For Twilight's sake, of course," he adds. He walks through the halls to the door. He opens it, and blinks at how bright the sun is today. He recovers his eyes, and turns right for Rarity's boutique. There she is. Asleep in the grass. Though he is glad that his friend is safe and sound, he does feel a little cheated out of seeing Rarity today. He runs to her calling, "Twilight? Twilight?" he gets up to her and she is still asleep. "Twilight, ponies are staring," Spike says, shaking her a little bit. Twilight flutters her eyes open and sits up slowly. "Oh, Twilight! You're up. Thank Celestia," Spike says, helping her up. "What were you doing out here sleeping?" he asks. "I was reading the diary and Angel explained the night, so it inspired me to sit out here and read more out here. She was right, the night is lovelier than I thought," Twilight explains. Confused, Spike helps Twilight up and leads her to the castle. "Had you been out there all night?" Spike asks, entering the doors. "Yes," Twilight responds, being lead by Spike to the table. "Did you stay up all night?" he asks. "No," Twilight says, in the middle of a yawn. "What all did you learn so far?" he asks, genuinely curious. Twilight sits on one of the stools and says, "Angel was a unicorn with twin siblings a fair bit younger than her, like an Apple Bloom and Apple Jack relationship. She was Celestia's prized pupal like I am now, but lived in Canterlot. She had five friends named; Free Range, Glade, Sun Down, Harper, and Mezzo. And get this, three of them are Earth Ponies, two of them are unicorns, and one of them is a pegasus!" Twilight explains. "And another thing, Mezzo is a Unicorn stallion in love with Harper a Earth Pony mare," Twilight adds. "Oh! And I almost forgot! She had a baby dragon too! His name was Jairus!" Twilight blurts. "A dragon? Do you think he could be still alive?" Spike asks. Blinking, Twilight realizes that Spike could be right. She wonders if Celestia knows anything about his whereabouts. Then something else, something more confusing, runs through the princess's mind. Celestia, why hadn't she said anything about Angel and her friends? This is quite odd, and Twilight decides to get to the bottom of it. "Spike," she says, "Send a letter to Celestia explaining our find and ask her if Jairus is still alive. Meanwhile, I think it is important that our friends know what we found," Twilight explains. Spike nods, writes the letter, and sends it to Celestia though is fierce green dragon's breath. "Are we ready?" Twilight asks. "Yeah! Where are we going first?" Spike asks. "Fluttershy, I tell you spike the description of Angel and Fluttershy is uncanny!" Twilight explains. "I always think of her when I read Angel's words, even though Angel is a unicorn," Twilight continues. "Well, let's go! I can see this is exciting to you, Twilight," Spike says. And it's true, Twilight has been smiling since Spike woke her up only a few minutes ago. She basically prances though the hallway to the door. Spike barely can keep up with her. Twilight opens the huge, heavy doors, walks down the few steps, and walks towards the town. A few ponies say hi as the dragon and princess walk through the town, Lyra and Bonbon being two of them. On the way to Fluttershy's cottage, Spike and Twilight get stopped by Pinkie. "Howdy there, Twilight! Hey, Spike! Where are you goin' in such a hurry? Are you seeing how fast you can walk?" she gasps, "Are you having a walking race? Oh, can I join? I just love racing!" before Pinkie says anything else, Spike stops her. "We're going over to see Fluttershy's. If you want you can come with us!" "Okie-dokie!" Pinkie cheers. "Why are we going there?" "I want to wait until we get there, Pinkie," Twilight says. "Oh, okay! I am so excited!!" Pinkie cheers again. As the three friends walk briskly to their goal, well two walk and the third bounces, Twilight continues to question Celestia's role in this. Did she mean to keep it a secret? Was Celestia just waiting for a time to tell Twilight that her and her friends weren't the first, and probably won't be the last? Was Angel supposed to be the Princess of Friendship? What happened to her? "Twilight?" She must know something about this. "Twilight?" Twilight thinks back to the journal and wonders why she found it yesterday and not any other time she's walked through the halls. "Twilight?!" But still, it is nice to know the ponies of the past and- "Twilight!" Twilight focuses out of her thoughts to see that they have made it to Fluttershy's cottage and and confused and frustrated Spike is glaring at her. "I'm sorry, Spike! Were you saying something?" Twilight asks. "I said that Pinkie just knocked on the door, so we're just waiting for Fluttershy to answer," Spike says, a little annoyed. Twilight blushes, and is about to say something, when some pony calls from the back. "Hello? I'm tending to the garden, come on back please." The three friends fallow instructions, and walk to the back of the house. There, they see Fluttershy doing exactly what she has stated previously. She is laying down some white and yellow daisies next to more of the same flowers. "So, what do you want to talk about? And why'd I have to wait?!" Pinkie insists. Twilight tells them all about Angel and what she has read thus far. Twilight tells them about each pony in turn saying which Element they represent. She tells her friends about the purpose of the journal and where Spike and she found it. She talks about the letter they sent about twenty-five minutes ago and how she expects a reply soon. The mares sit in front of her, intrigued and listening intently each one wide eyes and focused. When Twilight is done, all three mares sit in silence, even Pinkie Pie. "Whoa!" Pinkie breathes. "And you're sure that Celestia will know the answers you're looking for?" Fluttershy asks. "She's got to, Fluttershy, she knew Angel. Angel was what I was four years ago," Twilight explains. "And, I have this feeling that Angel was supposed to take my title as friendship, something must have happened to her to prevent that," she continues. Pinkie gasps, "What if she did the same thing a Sunset Shimmer?! And now in an alternate Dimension where she lives in secret!" she guesses. "That's very likely, Pinkie, but I'd rather hear it from Celestia," Twilight explains. "Who else have you told?" Fluttershy asks. "Just you two," Spike pipes up. "We were planning to go to Applejack next," Twilight adds. "Why not have a picnic to tell every pony else at once?" Fluttershy suggests. "Oh! Oh! I could plan it! We could have it here and I'll make all the food and- oh! We could play games too and-" Pinkie exclaims. "That sounds like a great idea, Pinkie," Twilight says, politely cutting her off. "I know!" Pinkie says, smiling. The mares and Spike spend the rest of the day planning the picnic and at sun set Spike and Twilight decide that they have to go, Pinkie too says that the Cakes need help closing for the night. They say 'good-bye' to Fluttershy and happily walk to their designated places to be. Walking through the town for the second time today, Twilight watches the ponies slowly decrease in numbers as they walk to their own designated places. She is thankful to live here and has good friends she loves. She asks Spike if the Friendship letters will ever be found in a hundred years or so. "If they are, then I'm sure we'll be alive to witness it," Spike explains. "Well, this is my stop, good night, Twilight! Good night, Spike!" Pinkie says, bouncing away. "I hope we are, Spike," Twilight says, smiling warmly as Pinkie walks into the Sugar Cube Corner. They walk into the castle, and go to their respective rooms. Twilight curls up into her blankets and opens to the next entry of the journal.
June 20th 1813I met a colt the other day, His name was Montana Blue and he was a unicorn new to Canterlot. He had previously lived in a cabin in the big open space below the mountain. There is no city or town down there, just an open field. I found it so odd that he would move from somewhere so quiet to a town of thirty eight ponies at least, if you don't count the winter months. He was white with a gold mane and lavender eyes and his cutie mark is three paint brushes, he was a painter and I wouldn't mind seeing him again. I'm not saying that I'm over what happened to me, it still hurts seeing him in town with Rare Ocean, it makes me think that she should have been me, but something about Montana Blue makes me forget about him. Not even Glade can manage that. Though it isn't from a lack of trying, every time I see her she tries to come up with ways to make me forget, sometimes it works. I'm sorry I'm just mentioning this now, about the heartache, but I figured it was the right time. Today me and Jairus went into town today, it was flee market and we were low on vegetables and oats. The ponies here are very kind, unless it comes to flee market. Then they are bargaining hard for that extra bit. Some sales, though, were very reasonable and we didn't have to bargain at all. Anyway, we're back home now, and I am bored. The twins just went back home yesterday and I got to admit, I liked having them here. I'll have to babysit again sometime. So, I am bored, and I am done everything that I need to do. I could visit Harper, we had made plans to visit each other soon, I could visit Free Range! I had made the same promise to her yesterday. I don't know though, I just feel like doing nothing today, and I can see now why ponies like to keep busy during their long days. The thing about me, though, is that I am stubborn and will go though with plans even if I don't like them. I wish I could ask you what I should do, you know what? I'll clean. The house does need sweeping, and maybe I could pluck weeds that have decided that they were going to make a home in my yard. To that I say, "Ha!" I shall pluck those weeds until they are no more! It is now mid noon, and I have swept and plucked the weeds. I am now bored again. And I think I'm hungry. I'll make something later though. I think I have decided to talk to Harper today. I don't know if she's busy though, I guess I'll find out when I visit her house. It turns out Harper is busy with her family today. Before you start wondering, yes I visited Free Range too. She was busy also. I never knew a boredom like this before. Nothing could be going more wrong right now. I really can't understand my thought process, no pony want's to listen to an old mare's boredom. I am sorry, I won't come back to this journal until I have something better to talk about. It is about fifteen minutes later, and Jairus has just received a letter from Princess Celestia requesting mine, Glade, Mezzo, and Free Range's assistance. She requested us to come tomorrow at early morning to discuss something with us. Probably needing us to go on an assignment! I cannot wait to actually show you what I do for Equestria! Well, not exactly show you, but tell you about it. I promise you, it won't be disappointing. Maybe Mezzo and I will get to use our magic! That will be fun explaining! We could be fighting something or some pony! I might not make it until tomorrow morning, we haven't had an assignment since before I got my journal. I'm sure you probably skipped ahead by now, reading all this boring stuff about my life. I'm sure what you read was far more exciting than my sitting at the table barely containing myself with the prospect of actually doing something. I wish I knew what was going to happen. Was it difficult for me to do? Was it easy? I wish you could tell me. Anyway I got to tell Glade, Free Range, and Mezzo. I know they'll be excited too, it really has been a while since we did something we've done something like this. But what ever the Princess has in mind for us is sure to be exciting. I just can't imagine why she needs Magic, Kindness, Loyalty and Generosity and not the rest of us. Anyway, I need to send the letters, and Jairus needs a bath before it gets dark. Sincerely, your friend, Angel Author's Note I am so sorry, I had MAJOR computer computer problems. I had to take it in to the store to fix, and it took months.
