My Little Pony Friendship is Magic/Love Season 1

I was transfixed. I didn't know what to do. I just stood there as Nightmare Moon laughed and declared eternal night. That wasn't what had left me speechless though. How did she know that I was human? How did she even know humans existed? I would have continued asking myself questions like this if the mayor hadn't snapped me out of my shock induced trance.

"Seize her!" she shouted to a group of guards, "Only she knows where the princess is!"

I could only watch in horror as the guards took flight and advanced towards Nightmare Moon. What were they thinking?! When an ancient evil appears, the last thing you want to do is try to fight it!

"Stand back you foals!" Nightmare Moon shouted. Her eyes glowed pure white. As the guards got close to her, they were struck back by lightning. With that, Nightmare Moon surrounded herself in the starry mist, which proceeded to slither out of the doors leading outside. As everypony in the room ran around in panic, Rainbow Dash broke free of AJ's grip and flew after it.

Somepony tapped me and best friends on the shoulder. Turning round, we saw Twilight motioning at me to follow her before galloping off outside. We immediately galloped after her, towards the library.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We'd placed Spike in his basket, where he was now sleeping soundly.

"We gotta stop Nightmare...!" he murmured before slipping back off to sleep. I had to admit, it was kinda cute watching the kid sleep like that.

Twilight placed a blanket over him, "You've been up all night Spike" she said, "You are a baby dragon after all.". Turning out the light, we moved downstairs and started looking for clues regarding the elements.

“But we are coming right Jonathan,” Elusive, Brianna, and Sandra gave me those puppy eyes.

“Yes you guys are coming with us,” I said and they cheered for coming with them with their journey.

"Elements, elements, elements. Ugh!" Twilight groaned, "How are we going to stop Nightmare Moon without the Elements of Harmony?"

"And just what are the Elements of Harmony?!" Rainbow Dash demanded, flying in from nowhere and shoving her face into Twilight's, "And how did you know about Nightmare Moon huh? Are you a spy?". Before she could accuse Twilight of anything else, she was pulled back by AJ, who held her by the mouth (again).

"Simmer down sally!" AJ declared, "They ain't no spies!" She, Pinkie, Rarity and Fluttershy began to approach us, "But they sure do know what's going on, don't ya you two?"

There was a short pause before Twilight opened her mouth and explained.

"I read all about the prediction of Nightmare Moon. Some mysterious objects called the Elements of Harmony are the only things that can stop her, but I don't know where they are, where to find them. I don't even know what they do!"

"The Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide." Pinkie and Sandra suddenly said, staring at book on one of the shelves. Twilight suddenly ran up, pushing both Pinkie and Sandra aside.

"How did you guys find that?" Twilight asked in amazement.

"It was under 'E'!" Pinkie and Sandra trilled in a sing song voice. Twilight just deadpanned before grabbing the book with her magic.

“Let me help you,” I insisted.

“Okay,” Twilight said.

I picked up the book and using my magic, I flipped through the pages until Twilight said stop.

“There it is,” Twilight stated. I stopped flipping and there it was, telling the nine elements of harmony.

There are nine Elements of Harmony," she read, "but only seven are known. Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty and Loyalty.”

I continued, “The two new elements are Faith and hope. The eight and ninth are a complete mystery."

"It is said," she continued, "the last known location of the seven elements was in the ancient castle of the royal pony sisters. It is located in what is now..."

"The Everfree Forest!" everypony declared in fright.

By now, we were standing in front of the said forest. Looking at it, it was pretty creepy, like the Forbidden Forest from Harry Potter. Strangely, as we stood there, the girls had said 'the Everfree Forest' again, in pretty much the exact same way they had said it back in the library.

"Wee!" Pinkie squealed, "Let's go!", Sandra continued.

They began trotting towards the forest.

"Not so fast!" Twilight suddenly declared, causing Pinkie to stop in her tracks "Look, I appreciate the offer, but I'd really rather do this on my own."

"What?" I asked aloud, "Twilight, you don’t need to go alone besides you have us. We are sticking you like caramel on apple,” saying it in my country voice.

“Right, hey,’ AJ frowned at me. I just kept on smiling at her. “Ok let’s go,” she said.

Twilight let out a sigh. "Come on." I said, beginning to follow the others. Twilight trotted after me as we entered the dark forest.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"So, none of you have been here before." Twilight asked the girls.

"Oh heavens no!" Rarity said, "Just look at it, it's dreadful!"

"And it ain't natural!" AJ cut in, as we walked towards the edge of a cliff, "Folks say it don't work the same as Equestria!"

"Wh- what's that supposed mean?" Twilight stammered, her voice etched with fear.

"No pony knows." said Rainbow Dash in a spooky voice, emerging from the shadows. "You know why?" she asked as she advanced towards me, Pinkie, Fluttershy and Rarity.

"Rainbow!" AJ scolded, "Quit it!"

"Cause everypony who's ever come in," Rainbow said, continuing her advance, "has never... come... OUT!"

The next thing I knew, we were all sliding down the cliff, screaming. edge had suddenly collapses underneath us, and now me and Twilight were hanging on to the edge for dear life.

"Hold on!" I heard AJ and Brianna's voice call out. I looked up and saw her sliding towards us. "Ah'ma comin'!" theyshe said as she grabbed us by her hooves (again, I have no idea how they do that!).

"Applejack, Brianna!" Twilight cried out, "What do we do?!" AJ and Brianna was silent for a moment, before they opened to give their answers:

"Let go."

"WHAT!?" I yelled.

"Are you crazy!?" Twilight demanded.

“Look, I hope this plan works and you stay alive,” Brianna reassured us. Her twinkling stars started twinkling and everyone was in “aw” at the realization of her cutiemark.

"And no ah ain't." AJ reassured us, "Ah promise you'll both be safe."

"That's not true!" Twilight protested.

"Now listen here," AJ and Brianna told us, "what a'hm saying to you is the honest truth. Let go, and you'll be safe." Twilight and I stared at them, but they just returned with a reassuring smile.

I gulped and we let go of her hooves, letting ourselves plummet to our certain dooms.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" the both of us screamed, when suddenly, I felt myself halt mid-fall. I opened my eyes. Sandra was holding me, while Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had Twilight. Me and Twilight both breathed a sigh of relief, before Fluttershy suddenly dropped down slightly.

"Oh, sorry Jonathan." she apologized, beginning to descend at a more steadily pace, "I'm not used to carrying anything more than a bunny or

two." As we descended, I noticed AJ jumping down the outcrops on the cliff.

"Whoo," I said, "Thank goodness that was a relief."

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"And once Pinkie and Rarity were safe, WHOOSH!" Rainbow bragged, "Me and Fluttershy looped-the-loop around and WHOOM! Got you two right in the nick of time!"

"Yes Rainbow, I was there," Twilight responded, "and I'm very grateful, but we gotta..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the sound of a foot hitting the ground cut her off. She gasped as she saw what stood before us. I couldn't believe what I was looking at either. At first glance, you would have thought it was a lion, but it was anything but that. On its back sprouted a pair of large, leathery wings; and its tail belonged to a scorpion if anything.

"A manitcore!" Twilight cried out in horror. The beast reared up, giving off a terrifying roar. "We've got to get passed him!" Twilight declared.

The manticore pounced towards Rarity, prepared  to swipe her with its sharp looking claws. However, just as it was about to make contact with her, she ducked her head and immediately hit it in the face.

"Take that you ruffian!" she taunted. The creature roared in her face in response, messing up her mane. "My hair!" she cried out in horror, before noticing the manticore still standing there and promptly rushing off, the beast chasing after her.

"Wait!" I heard a faint voice say. Definitely Fluttershy's voice, but I don't think any of the other girls heard it. Suddenly, the manticore stopped and looked up to see AJ standing on its head.

"Yeehaw!" she cried, "Get along little doggy!"

"Wait!" I heard Fluttershy say again, as the manticore leaped all over the place in an attempt to shake AJ of its head. Eventually it was able to send her flying.

"All yours partner." I heard her say to Rainbow.

"I'm on it!" was Rainbows response, “Let’s go Sandra” and they started zooming towards the beast.

Once again, I heard Fluttershy's timid plea, "Wait!"

Rainbow Dash and Sandra circled around the manticore so quickely that she was just a rainbow coloured blur. Unfortunately for her, t beast was able to swat her away with its scorpion tail.

"Rainbow!" Twilight cried out in horror and concern. The pony landed in front of her. As she got up, the manticore dragged its paw across the ground in a threatening manner. The girls responded with the exact same gesture. My eyes widened in horror. They weren't going to... they were.

Twilight, AJ, Rarity, Pinkie, Rainbow, Sandra, Elusive, and Brianna galloped/ran towards manticore (or in Pinkie's case, bounced). I closed my eyes. I couldn't watch. I sat there cowering in the bushes and waited for it all to end. Hopefully, the beast wouldn't find me.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!" a voice suddenly shouted out. My eyes shot open, and there was Fluttershy, of all ponies, standing between the other girls/dragon and the manticore. She trotted up to the manticore, no sign of fear or hesitation whatsoever, and the beast raised its paw as if about to strike her. Me and the rest of the girls braced ourselves, but instead...

"Shhh. It's okay." Fluttershy cued gently, nuzzling the beast's paw. The beast suddenly pulled a sad looking face, and let out it's paw to her, revealing a huge thorn sticking out of it.

"Oh you, poor, poor little baby" she said sympathetically.

"Little?!" Rainbow and Elusive asked in disbelief to no one in particular.

"Now this may hurt for just a second" Fluttershy went on, before taking the thorn with her mouth and pulling it out of the manticores paw. The beast immediately grabbed her and viscously roared in her face.

"Fluttershy!" Twilight and AJ yelled in horror. I couldn't watch this. Not someone as sweet as her! But instead of ripping her to shreads or anything like that, the manticore just licked her affectionately, like dog to its master.

"Oh, you're just a little old kitty aren't you? Yes you are. Yes you are." she giggled as the other girls trotted past. I didn't want to be left alone, so I this was the best time for me to come out of the bushes and go after them. As the others went onwards, Twilight stopped and turned back to Fluttershy.

"How did you know about the thorn?" Twilight asked.

"I didn't." Fluttershy answered, her mane stuck up from the creatures lick, "Sometimes we all just need to be shown a little kindness."

“That was very sweet Fluttershy to do that,” I said. Her cheeks grew dark red with the compliment I gave her.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"My eyes need a rest from all this icky much" Rarity shuddered as we went deeper into the forest. The trees now very closely together, blotting out the light that the moon provided.

"Well I didn't mean that literally." she muttered to herself.

"That ancient ruin could be right in front of our faces and we wouldn't even know it!" Twilight said, as the girls began bickering to each other

over where they were.

"Oh wait," AJ said, "Ah think ah stepped in somethin'."

Suddenly, Fluttershy screamed in fright.

"It's just mud." AJ declared, before she bumped into a tree. Looking at it, she screamed as well, leaping away from it. What I saw on the tree truly startled me. A twisted, frightening looking face on the trunk, and the lower branches adding effect by looking like arms. Now I'll say again, this startled me, but nothing more. The girls... well... that's a different story. The sudden screams nearly gave me a heart attack.

Suddenly, we all picked up a sound. A sound that wasn't screaming. In fact, it was the total opposite. It was... laughter. Standing in front of one of the trees, Pinkie Pie was laughing gleefully and pulling silly faces.

"Pinkie, what are you doing?!" Twilight asked bewildered "Run!"

"Oh girls, don't you see?" Pinkie asked, before suddenly doing the most wonderful thing in the whole world……..singing!

"When I was a little filly and the sun was going down..." she started singing.

"Tell me she's not.." Twilight began.

"The darkness and the shadows, they would always make me frown..." Pinkie interrupted her with her song.

"She is." Rarity answered Twilight's inquiry, as Pinkie continued her singing.

"I'd hide under my pillow

From what I thought I saw

But Granny Pie said that wasn't the way

To deal with fears at all"

"Then what is?" Rainbow asked. Pinkie answered with more singing (what else?).

"She said: "Pinkie, you gotta stand up tall

Learn to face your fears

You'll see that they can't hurt you

Just laugh to make them disappear

Ha! Ha! Ha!"

She laughed at one of the trees, causing the scary face to disappear. We were all shocked at what just happened, our mouths hanging open.

"So, giggle at the ghostly" Fluttershy began to laugh at one of the scary trees, causing the it's scary face to disappear.

"Guffaw at the grossly" Then Rainbow.

"Crack up at the creepy" And Rarity.

"Whoop it up with the weepy" Now AJ.

"Chortle at the kooky" Even Twilight.

"Snortle at the spooky" Now it was me, Elusive, and my friends turn. We started laughing and it was a miracle the haunted face disappear in a minute after our constant laughing.

"And tell that big dumb scary face to take a hike and leave you alone and if he thinks he can scare you then he's got another thing coming and the very idea of such a thing just makes you wanna... hahahaha... heh...

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuugh!"

As Pinkie finished the last line of the song, all of the trees lost their scary faces, and she fell beside Twilight all of us laughed our hearts out. I couldn't believe what I did. Just laughing made me feel happy.

“That was great Pinkie, I loved it,” I said and while saying that my twinkling star started twinkling. Everyone was in “aw in the realization that not only Brianna’s stars started twinkling, now mines started twinkling.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We were still laughing while walking until we ended up walking right into a rapid flowing river right in front of them, far too dangerous to swim across.

"How are going to cross this?" Pinkie asked. As if to answer her question, the faint sound of wailing caught our ears. It sounded masculine, but it also incredibly effeminate. Turning towards the source, there was a large serpent up the river, thrashing its tail as it wailed in distress.

"What a world!" the serpent wailed, "What a world!"

"Excuse me sir," Twilight called out, "why are you crying?"

"Well, I don't know!" the serpent answered, "I was just sitting here, minding my own business, when this... tacky little cloud of purple smoke just... whizzed past me, and tore half of my beloved moustache...clean off!". "And now," he went on, "I look simply horrid!", before letting himself fall into the river with a splash, causing the seven of us to become soaked from the tidal wave he created.

"Oh, gimmie a break." Rainbow muttered.

"That's what all the fuss is about?" AJ asked irritably.

"Why, of course it is!" Rarity exclaimed, trotting up towards the moping serpent, "How can you be so insensitive?" "Look at him," she continued, "Such lovely luminescent scales!"

"I know." the serpent moped.

"Your expertly quaffed mane!" Rarity pointed out.

"Oh, I know, I know!" The serpent said.

"Your fabulous manicure!" she added.

"It's so true!" the serpent gasped.

"All ruined without your beautiful moustache!" Rarity said sadly.

"It's true!" the serpent wailed, "I'm hideous!"

"I simply cannot let this crime against fabulousity go uncorrected!" Rarity declared, narrowing her eyes. With that, she grabbed one of the

serpent's scales with her mouth and pulled it out.

"Ow!" he exclaimed, "What did you do that for?"

Rarity held up the scale, still in her mouth, which then gleamed that gleam you'd get from a knife or any other sharp object.

"Rarity what are you...?" Twilight asked, only to be cut off by a one clean SLASH! The serpent once again wailed and collapsed.

But no, Rarity hadn't done anything to him, it was more about what she did to herself. She had used the scale to cut her own tail off, which she then levitated with her magic and attached it to the end of the serpent's moustache.

He laughed a laugh that was filled to the brim with delight.

"My moustache!" he exclaimed, "How wonderful!"

"You look smashing!" Rarity complimented.

"Oh, Rarity." Twilight said sadly, "Your beautiful tail!"

"Oh, it's fine my dear." she brushed off, "Short tails are in this season! Besides, it will grow back.". Me and Twilight both smiled. You don't often see someone being this generous, especially to a complete stranger.

"So would the moustache." Rainbow muttered, snapping me and Twilight out of our trances.

"We can cross now!" the former called out, beginning to cross the river. "Let's go... Uuaahh!" she yelped in surprise as the serpent's tail raised her up from the water.

"Allow me!" he gestured before diving into the water, allowing us to use his coiled tail to cross the river as if they were stepping stones.

After what she did, that was very kind to give part of her tail to the serpent. We continued on our journey to the castle of the two sisters.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Finally, the ten of us walked up to a truly welcoming sight.

"There it is!" Twilight cried out, "The ruin that holds the Elements of Harmony! We made it!". She began tugging me and started galloping forward, towards the ancient castle.

"Twilight!" AJ called after her, "wait for us!"

“Um Twilight you should know that there is a…”

"Were almost there!" Twilight called out.

“Um Twilight...” but before I had to say my final words suddenly, our body jolted down. Her hind legs were now the part of her that was on solid ground, the rest of her body teetering over the edge of a steep cliff.

"Twilight, Jonathan!" Sandra called out. Rainbow and Sasndra pulled Twilight and my tail with their mouth.

"What's it with you two and falling off clips today?" Rainbow asked her.

"Now what?" Pinkie sighed as we looked down the edged of the cliff, unable to see what was at the bottom due to a thick mist. The bridge connecting to the other side was hanging only on one side, leaving us no alternative to cross.

"Duh." Rainbow said, shaking her wings.

"Oh yeah!" Pinkie realised as Rainbow took off and dived down the cliff. She rose back up, holding on to the other side of the bridge with her mouth, before flying over to the other side. You would think that tying it on the rock to keep is steady would be a quick job, but for some reason she was taking quite a while to do so.

"Rainbow!" Twilight called out, "What's taking so long?" I looked over to the other side, and my eyes widened in shock. Rainbow was standing there talking to three ponies, wearing dark coloured racing suits.

"Oh no, Rainbow!" Twilight called out to her, "Don't listen to them!" Suddenly, the mist began to thicken, until we were unable to see what was going on at the other side of the cliff.

“Don’t worry, if you give her a little faith that she will choose the right friends, then you would know she’s the one as your friend,” Sandra said and again her twinkling stars started to twinkle just like Brianna’s and mines.

“She’s right, give Rainbow a little faith that she chooses the right choice,’ I said the mares/dragon and they all nodded in agreement.

However, my doubts were erased, when Rainbow flew through the fog and landed in front of us. We cheered for her as we began to cross the now stable bridge.

"Good job Rainbow!" Twilight said.

"See?" Rainbow declared, "I'd never leave my friends hanging!"

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We reached the other side of the cliff and began heading towards the ruined castle.

Walking into the ancient ruin, standing in front of us a tall stone structure, with five stone orbs attached to it.

"Come on Twilight, isn't this what you been waitin' for?" AJ asked.

"The Elements of Harmony!" Twilight declared, "We found them!"

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy flew up and grabbed the orb with their hooves.

"Careful." Twilight instructed as they place the orbs onto the ground, "Careful."

"One, two, three, four, five, six..." Pinkie counted, "There's only seven."

"Where's the eight and ninth?" Rainbow asked.

"The book said, 'When the seven are present, a spark will cause the ength and ninth element to be revealed."

"What in the hay is that supposed to mean?", AJ asked.

"I'm not sure, but I have an idea." Twilight answered, crouching on the floor, "Stand back! I don't know what will happen! Jonathan can you help me please."

“Sure,” I answered back.

We both closed our eyes in concentration as our horn began to glow.

"Come on y'all." AJ told the others, who were now following her out through the door, "They needs to concentrate."

There was something that was circling us and we couldn’t figure out what the commotion was.

"Ah!" we cried out in shock. There was the misty smoke that circled us, "The Elements!"

Suddenly, we leaped forward towards the tornado, disappearing inside it.

There was a bright flash of white, and I found myself lying next to Twilight, the both of us coughing. We looked up and gasped at what we saw.

There was Nightmare Moon, with lightening and all, standing before us, the elements levitating around her.

Then, Twilight did something I really didn't expect her to do. She entered an aggressive stance and began to stamp her hoof on the ground.

"You're kidding." Nightmare Moon deadpanned, "You're kidding, right?"

With that, Twilight charged towards her, her horn glowing as she galloped. What the heck was she thinking?! Did she want to die?! Actually, of course she didn't, but she'd probably want to run away even less.

Then I did something I didn't expect myself to do. I actually began galloping with her, and I had no idea why! Nightmare Moon was right in front of us, getting closer and closer. Then, just right before we were about to collide, Twilight vanished in a flash of light and I did the same and was next with Twilight.

She proceeded to laugh, before turning her attention back to Twilight and I. We were focusing our  magic on the Elements. The dark mist enveloped her, which then flew towards Twilight, as she materialized in front of us. I could only watch this little event unfold, too weak to rise to my feet.

Suddenly, we were blown backwards landing, a few feet away from Nightmare Moon. However, the elements suddenly started glowing.

"No!" Nightmare Moon shouted in defiance, "No!"

I started to smile while inhaling and exhaling. We'd done it! We'd actually done it! The elements continued to glow, and suddenly... they stopped. Twilight and I gasped in horror, "But, where's the eight and ninth element?!" Twilight asked as Nightmare Moon cackled. She raised her front hooves into the air and sent them crashing down, causing the orbs to shatter like glass. Twilight and I could only watch in horror as the shards fell in little pieces to the ground.

"You little foals," Nightmare Moon declared, "thinking you could defeat me! Now you will never see your princess, or your sun! The night will last... forever!". She cackled once again, as Twilight could only watch in horror and despair.

“I can’t believe it,” I said.

“You better believe it you foolish boy,’ Nightmare Moon said wickedly.

“I do have one question, how do you know about me, my dog, and my friends,” I asked.

Nightmare Moon chuckled darkly. "You want to know how I know human?" she asked, "I have seen your race before. So proud and self-righteous. Thinking that you could enslave us and treat us like mere animals! Your kind got what they deserved!" I can’t believe it, did humans were really that bad, no they would never be that rude, or would they, it doesn’t matter, the real matter is that we failed . . . however, Twilight and I heard somepony.

"Don't worry Twilight and Jonathan!" We heard a collection of familiar voices, "We'll be there!"

Suddenly, everything made sense; and I gasped in realization, Twilight joining me. We could have sworn that we saw a faint twinkle in our eyes/cutiemark. Hearing the voices of the girls with my dragon, made me feel... happy. The warm feeling from before came back, that spark on Twilight’s eye and on my cutiemark gave us the strength I needed to stand up again.

"You think that you can destroy the Elements of Harmony just like that?" Twilight asked with newfound confidence, "Well your wrong! Because the spirits of the Elements of Harmony are right here!"

Rarity, Fluttershy, AJ, Rainbow, Pinkie, Brianna, and Sandra are now lined up with us while Elusive is at the side-lines watching the whole scene.. The shards around Nightmare Moon suddenly began to glow an levitate around her.

"What?" she asked, her voice suddenly in a worried tone. Twilight just smiled, more than happy to explain.

"Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of... Honesty!" Several of the shards flew towards AJ and circled her.

"Fluttershy, who tamed the manticore with her compassion, represents the spirit of... Kindness!" Fluttershy was startled by the shards that began circling her, but she accepted after realising what was happening.

"Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of... Laughter!" Pinkie jumped up into the air with glee as more of the shards circled her.

"Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift, represents the spirit of... Generosity!" Rarity only gave a modest look as she received her own set of shards.

"Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire, represents the spirit of... Loyalty!" The next set of shards began circling Rainbow Dash.

Then I continued explaining.

“Brianna, who knew that there won’t be trouble when AJ told Twilight and I the truth represents the spirit of… Hope!” The next set of shards circled around Brianna.

“And lastly Sandra, who knew that Rainbow would make the right choice represents the spirit of… Faith!” The last set of shards circled around Sandra.

"The spirits of these seven ponies got us through every challenge you threw at us!" I finished triumphantly.

"But you still don't have the two elements!" Nightmare Moon countered the fear evident in her voice, "The spark didn't work!"

"But it did!" Twilight began again, "A different kind of spark!" We turned around to face the girls, "We felt it the very moment that we realized how happy we were to hear you, to see you, how much we cared for you!" Tears if happiness began to form in our eyes, "The spark ignited inside of us, when we realized you all... are our friends!" she finished.

Suddenly, there was a burst of light coming from above. Looking up we saw two orbs, which then descended until it was floating just above me and Twilight. The glowing light intensified, causing Nightmare Moon and Elusive, in side-lines had to shield themselves.

"You see Nightmare Moon," Twilight continued, "when those Elements are ignited by the... uh... the spark that exists in the heart of us all, it creates the eighth…”

“And ninth element!" I finished.

“Represents the elements of…MAGIC/LOVE!” We both yelled at Nightmare Moon.

With that, the shards began becoming together around us, forming necklaces for each of the girls.

Fluttershy's had an pink coloured jewel that was shaped like a butterfly.

Pinkie's jewel was coloured in a light blue, and was balloon shaped.

Rainbow's jewel was a  red lightning bolt.

AJ's was coloured orange and shaped like an apple.

Rarity's was purple, and was shaped like a normal diamond.

As for my friends, their elements were shaped like a pencil and a star. Brianna’s necklace jewel was a black and purple and Sandra’s necklace jewel was black and pink.

Finally, instead of getting a necklace, Twilight and I  received a tiara/crown with a pink coloured jewel on top for Twilight, while for me, it was a black and red jewel on top.

Suddenly, eight girls were been form to make a heart while for me, I was in the middle of the making of the heart. Each element shot a beam to my jewel on the crown and in the instance my element unleashed and grew into a giant rainbow heart, which then hit through Nightmare Moon.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" she cried as the Rainbow surrounded her, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Our vision was then blocked by an intense flash of bright light, before I suddenly lost consciousness...

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I don't know how long I was out, but by the looks of things it was only a few minutes or so. Maybe an hour, I couldn't tell, it was still dark.

"Ugh, my head." I heard Rainbow groan as I awoke.

"Everypony okay?" AJ asked.

“We’re fine AJ,” Brianna answered.

"Oh thank goodness!" Rarity exclaimed in delight. Looking over in her direction, I noticed that her tail had suddenly grown back after she had cut it off.

"Why Rarity," Fluttershy said, "it's so lovely."

"I know!" Rarity said, beginning to wag her tail up and down. "I'll never part with it again!" she added as she began to brush it against her face.

"No. Your necklace." Fluttershy corrected, "It looks just like your cutie mark!"

"Oh!" Rarity realised, having a proper examination of her Element, "So does yours!" she pointed out, causing Fluttershy to gasp in amazement.

"Look at ours! Look at ours!" Pinkie and Sandra cried out as she bounced up next to AJ.

"Aw yeah!" Rainbow declared, proudly huffing to show off her necklace.

Staring at my crown, I then turned to look at my cutie mark and it looks like the same as my crown jewel a heart but the stars are filling in the middle of the heart.

As for Twilight, the jewel at the top her tiara  resembled her cutie mark as well. Come to think of it, it looked a bit too big to be a tiara, but it certainly wasn't a crown either. You know what, I'm just going to call it a tiara anyway.

"Gee Twilight and Jonathan." AJ cut in, "Ah thought you were just spoutin' a lotta' huey, but I reckon we really do represent the elements of friendship."

"Indeed you do." a new voice echoed. Suddenly a bright light began to glow out of one of the windows. Looking out of it, I realized what it was.

The sun was rising, the dawn of a new day.

As the sun rose into the sky, another light shone in front of us. It lowered to the ground, and in a flash, there was a tall white horse standing before us. Her fur was pure white. Her main was striped in blue, dark pink, purple, and sea green, and seemed to flow majestically without the need of wind. Her cutie mark was the sun, and like me, she had both a horn and a set of wings.

All of us suddenly bowed in respect, except for Twilight, who gasped in amazement.

"Princess Celestia!" we said in awe also in unison, galloping up towards the newcomer.

"Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student." the Princess acknowledged her, "I knew you could do it."

"But…" Twilight responded. "You told me it was all an old pony tale."

"I told you that you needed to make some friends, nothing more." Celestia corrected her, "I saw the signs of Nightmare Moon's return, and I knew you had the magic inside to defeat her. But you could not unleash it until you let true friendship into your heart."

Twilight turned to the others, smiling at them. They returned with their own smiles.

“Now for you Jonathan, Brianna, Sandra, and Elusive,” Celestia said, “I think the hole sucked you guys in because it find the perfect three human beings that represents Hope, Faith, and Love.” She started at Brianna, then turned to Sandra, then me. “And for your dog, that is now your assistance too.”

“Thank you princess I’m gladly your friend, for sure,” we said in unison.

She nodded and started walking towards another princess and me and my best friends were nervous on what she will do to her.

"Now if only another will as well." The Princess continued. She approached the shattered armor that was what was left of Nightmare Moon.

Lying there was a dark blue coloured pony, who looked no older than any of us, with a cutie mark resembling a crescent moon. Like me, she too had wings and a horn.

"Princess Luna." Celestia addressed the pony, who gasped in terror. "It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this." She crouched down, kneeling next to the blue mare, "Time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule together little sister."

"Sister?" Twilight and Rainbow questioned. My friends and I were not surprised because we usually have little sisters or brothers. I mean, it's easy to figure out, isn't it? Twilight had read the legend herself hadn't she? Why was she so surprised?

"Will you accept my friendship?" Celestia asked, rising to her feet. We leaned forward with concerned looks on their faces, with Pinkie toppling over. Luna was silent for a while; her head drooped down in shame, before she suddenly leaped over to Celestia.

"I'm so sorry!" she cried, "I missed you so much big sister!". Tears of joy were running down both ponies faces.

"I've missed you too." Celestia replied. Suddenly, Pinkie and Sandra began bawling, tears rushing out of her eyes like a waterfall as she held a handkerchief in her hoof.

"Hey!" she suddenly exclaimed, the tears stopping as quickly as they started, "You know what this calls for?”

“A PARTY!" Pinke and Sandra said in unison.

We were back in Ponyville now, with everyone in town attending to the party. When we arrived, Spike rushed up and gave Twilight a hug. The Princesses arrived on a guard driven carriage, and as they got off the, everypony bowed in respect at them. Two fillies flew up to an ashamed looking Luna, surprising her by placing flowers around her neck. It was then when something suddenly popped into my head. I had a question for Princess Celestia.

“Um princess, I do have a question,” I said.

“Yes Jonathan,” She answered

“Was Nightmare Moon right about us humans enslaving you ponies?” I asked

She just paused for a minute and started laughing, “No, that’s not really true, actually the prophecy says that three humans must become the best of friends and they must have hope, faith, and love towards each other, just like another specific did too with you three.”

I thought for a minute or two about what she said, “Hm, God," I whispered to myself.

‘That’s right,” she continued, “Now go on and have fun while it last.” I just nodded and headed towards my eight best friends.

Walking towards my friends, Celestia trotted up to Twilight, who surprisingly had a sad look on her face.

"Why so glum, my faithful student?" Celestia asked, "Are you not happy that your quest is complete and you can return to your studies in Canterlot?"

"That's just it." Twilight responded sadly, turning to her friends, who looked saddened by the news, "Just when I learned how wonderful it is to have friends, I have to leave them.".

Celestia paused for a moment, before suddenly saying, "Spike, take a note please.". Spike was quick to have a scroll and quill in hand, while I trotted up next to Twilight as the princess continued to speak.

"I, Princess Celestia, hereby decree that the unicorn Twilight Sparkle and my newest student Jonathan James Hill.” Did she say student to me EEEEEEEEEEEE! Keep your cool Jonathan, keep your cool. “Shall take on their new mission for Equestria. They must continue to study the magic and love of friendship. They must report to me their findings from their new home in Ponyville.

Our friends surrounded us, chattering in excitement. I felt relieved, having somewhere to live now with my friends. For a moment, I was worried I'd have to start from scratch and get a job and other stuff like that. Good thing I don't have to, because now I’m Princess Celestia’s STUDENT!

"Oh thank you, Princess Celestia!" Twilight exclaimed, "I'll study harder than ever before!"

“Same here,’ I stated.

As everypony cheered, I couldn't help but smile. Today turned out to be quite good in the end. Despite getting zapped into an entirely different world, I'd made some new friends and helped defeat an ancient evil that threatened to bring eternal night.

Oh, I definitely was going to enjoy my time here with not two, but eight of my best friends...
