Friendship is Magic/Love Part 2

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...

The Double Ticket Master

"No... Nope... Nope..." Spike droned on as he inspected the apples in one of the baskets Twilight as carrying on her back, just as he threw them out onto the ground and hit Elusive’s head saying “Hey”. What was wrong with them, I have no idea, they all looked fine to me. It had been about two days since all that Nightmare Moon business, and I'd already felt like I'd settled in. Twilight had even taught me some basic magic techniques, like that levitation spell that all unicorns have learned at some point and also been telling me about Equestrian cultures and what they do in Equestria.

"Thank ya kindly you two, for helping me and Brianna out." AJ said as the four of us trotted towards the barn.

“Yeah it was very kind to do something like this for us,” Brianna said while trotting.

“Aw, it was nothing,” I answered while trotting.

“No really thanks,” Bri smiled at me and I smiled back.

"I bet Big Macintosh could get all these Golden Delicious in the barn by lunchtime. If I win, he's gonna walk down Stirrup Street in one of granny's girdles." she added with a chuckle.

Bri, AJ, and twilight started laughing at AJ comment, I in the other hand, “Uh,’ I just said without saying anything else.

Twilight and I had been helping AJ and Brianna buck apples all morning. Yes, Brianna thought of the idea to stay with Applejack and Sandra is staying with Pinkie while we are living in Ponyville. I'm not usually the one to accept hard labor, but I had nothing else to do today anyway. Besides, it turned out to be pretty easy when I started, heck it was even enjoyable! Still, keep doing this for a while, and you realize how tough it really is. Thank goodness it was nearly lunchtime, I was starving!

"No problem at all, you two." Twilight answered to Bri and AJ, snapping me out of my thoughts, "I'm glad the goal is lunchtime. All this hard work is making me hungry."

“Same here I can eat anything if I can,” I said.

"I know, right?" Spike cut in, throwing an apple behind him which hit Twilight on the head.

"Puh-leez," Twilight said, turning to glare at the dragon riding her,  "Spike, you've been lounging on my back all morning while we worked!"

"Exactly!" Spike protested, "The three of you are taking so long I missed snack time!"

At that moment, Twilight's stomach gave off an audible grumble. She looked at Spike again, laughing nervously. "I guess we better get some food." she admitted.

"Nope..." Spike continued sorting out the apples, throwing the ones he deemed bad onto the ground again, "Worm..."

“Seriously Spike,” I got annoyed with his commotion saying “nope’ all the time.

“It takes a fine eye in order to inspect an apple to every last detail James." Spike replied matter-of-factly.

"Yeah," Elusive answered back to him, "and it's something that you seem to be lacking and can you please stop throwing those apples at MY

HEAD!"

The purple dragon scowled at Elusive, before returning to his 'inspection'. He reached deep into the basket, and suddenly emerged with a very pleasant surprise. "A-ha!" he declared as he presented it for us all to see. In his claws he held a bright red, juicy looking apple, just ready to be eaten.

"Oh Spike," said Twilight, licking her lips, "that looks delicious!". But before she could say anything else, Spike almost immediately shoved the majestic fruit into his mouth, which he was now munching on.

"Spike!" Twilight scolded, glaring at him disapprovingly.

Spike gulped down the contents in his mouth, before letting out a simple "What?"

All of a sudden, Spike and Elusive clutched his mouth and let out a loud belch, letting out a green flame followed by a trail of smoke. In a small 'puff', a scroll appeared, which proceeded to gently levitate down to the ground.

"It's a letter from Princess Celestia!" Twilight exclaimed.

“Oo, I wonder what the princess have for me and Twilight today,” I excited answer.

They proceeded to pick up the scroll, clear his throat and open it.

"Hear ye, hear ye!" they read aloud, "Her/His Grand Royal Highness, Princess Celestia of Equestria, is pleased to announce The Grand Galloping Gala to be held in the magnificent capital city of Canterlot, on the 21st day of, eh, yadda yadda yadda, cordially extends an invitation to Twilight Sparkle/Jonathan Hill plus one guest."

Upon hearing this news; AJ, Twilight, Bri, Elusive, and my face lits up in amazement. "The Grand Galloping Gala!" we said together in excitment.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As the little scene in front of us played out, Spike gave off an un-amused look; when all of a sudden he belched again, this time revealing two golden tickets which floated down into his claws.

"Look!" he declared, "Four tickets!"

"Wow, great!" Twilight declared, "I've never been to the gala. Have you, Spike?"

"No," Spike answered, "and I plan to keep it that way. I don't want any of that girly frilly frou-frou nonsense."

“How about you Jonathan?” Twilight turned around to me to think that I’ve been to the gala.

“Not really at all, but I was wondering what it was like there.” I answered.

Spike interrupted, “Good because you two have another ticket to the gala.”

“Wait both of us are going to the gala,” Twilight and I said in unison.

“Yes and you BOTH have another ticket to give to one of your seven friends,” Elusive continued saying.

“WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?” I yelled and while I yelled one of my cutiemark glowed. It was the string cutiemark that shaped part of the heart.

“Are you okay sugercube?”  AJ asked.

“No, because why do I have to choose who to give the other ticket too, I have a problem that,” I answered.

“With what,” Brianna asked

“I have to give my second ticket to either you, AJ, Pinkie, Sandra, Rarity, Fluttershy, or Rainbow Dash,” I answered.

“Oh, well I hope you can give the second ticket, I never been to the gala before because that would be nice” Bri said.

"Nice?" AJ cut in, "It's a heap good more than just nice! Ah'd love to go! Land sakes, if ah had an apple stand set up, ponies would be chowin' our tasty vittles till the cows came home! Do you have any idea how much business I could drum up for Sweet Apple Acres? Why, with all that money, we could do a heap of fixin' up 'round here. We could replace that saggy old roof, and Big McIntosh could replace that saggy old plow, and Granny Smith could replace that saggy old hip! Why, ah'd give mah' left hind leg to go to that gala."

“Uh, well, I, uh” I nervously said.

"Oh, well in that case," Twilight began to ask, "would you two like to...?"

"Whoa!" a new voice suddenly cried out from above. I looked up to see its' source, just in time to see a seeing a certain cyan mare crash on top of Twilight, AJ, Brianna, and me.

"Are we talking about The Grand Galloping Gala?!" Rainbow Dash cried out in excitement.

“Uh yes?” I said nervously.

"Rainbow Dash! You told me you were too busy tah' help me harvest apples! What were yah' busy doin'? Spyin'?"

"No," Rainbow answered , "I was busy... napping."

Really? She actually used that as an excuse? Who does that? Seriously?

"And I just happened to hear that you two have an extra ticket?" Rainbow continued as she hovered upside down on the two of us.

"Yeah," Twilight and I began, "but..."

"YES!" Rainbow cried out, performing a midair back flip, "This is so awesome! The Wonderbolts perform at The Grand Galloping Gala every year. I can see it now. Everyone would be watching the sky. Their eyes riveted on The Wonderbolts, but then in would fly Rainbow Dash! I would draw their attention with my Super Speed Strut! Then, I would mesmerize 'em with my Fantastic Filly Flash. And for my grand finale, The Buccaneer Blaze! The ponies would go wild! The Wonderbolts would insist that my signature moves be incorporated into their routine, and then welcome me as their newest member. Don't you see, Twilight? This could be my one chance to show 'em my stuff. You gotta take me!"

“Uh, well, I, uh” I said while my right eye started twitching.

Suddenly, she jerked backwards, as AJ pulled her away from Twilight by her tail (which she kept in her mouth).

"Hold on just one pony pickin' minute here." AJ said through her teeth, before releasing Rainbow's tail, "Me and Brianna asked for those tickets first."

Rainbow asked, “Wait two tickets.”

“Yeah, one for me to give away and one for Twilight to give away,” I answered.

"So?" Rainbow retorted, "That doesn't mean you own it."

"Oh, yeah? Well ah challenge you to a hoof-wrestle!" AJ challenged, " Winner gets the ticket!"

With those words, she and Rainbow dashed over to a nearby tree stump, trying to pin each other's hoof onto the surface. But before they could get very far, Twilight, popped up in between them and pushed them away.

"Girls!" she exclaimed, "These are our tickets, We’ll decide who gets it, thank you very much. Whoever has the best reason to go should get the ticket, don't you think?"

"Drummin' up business for the farm?" AJ inquired, taking a step closer.

"A chance to audition for The Wonderbolts?" Rainbow cut in, moving closer that AJ.

"Money t' fix granny's hip!"

"Living the dream!"

Okay , if I had to choose between those two, I'd say that AJ had the better reason. I mean, she wanted to expand her business right? And she needed to fix her barn and all that. So for me, this would be a no-brainer.

"Oh my," Twilight said, "those were all pretty good reasons, aren't they?". Suddenly, her stomach rumbled again. "Listen to that," she giggled "I am starving. I don't know about you, but I can't make important decisions on an empty stomach, so I'll, uh, think about it over lunch and get back to you two, okay?"

“Same,” I said.

We both, with both our dragons, ran away from AJ and Rainbow, and while we ran, I turned around seeing that Brianna is trying to break the hoof-wrestling…again!

"So, who are you going to give the ticket to, Twilight and Jonathan?" Spike/Elusive asked as we made through town.

"I don't know Spike," Twilight admitted, "but I really can't think straight when I'm hungry, so where should we eat?" She was turning to me to answer the question, I just shrugged at that question.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Suddenly out of nowhere, as we walked past Sugercube Corner; a sudden force coming from our left sent us hurtling to the right, unintentionally taking me with her.

"Gah! Bats! Bats in my face! Help" cried Pinkie Pie, unaware that the 'bats' were actually the two tickets, and now running around in panic.

“I’ve got you,” Sandra called out, “Hey Jonathan.” Sandra was about to tug on Pinkie’s tail until…

"Wait," she said, stopping abruptly in front of the tickets, which were now lying on the ground; "these aren't... tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala?!" she cried out, her eyes now seeming to sparkle.

“For real,” Sandra also cried out.

"It's the most amazing incredible tremendous super-fun wonderful terrifically humongous party in all of Equestria! I've always always always wanted to go!"

And with those words, they began bouncing around us and burst into song:

"Oh the Grand Galloping Gala is the best place for me

Oh the Grand Galloping Gala is the best place for me

Hip hip

Hooray! It's the best place for me

For Pinkie/Sandra..."

"With decorations like streamers and fairy-lights and pinwheels and piñatas and pin-cushions. With goodies like sugar cubes and sugar canes and sundaes and sun-beams and sarsaparilla. And I get to play my favorite-est of favorite fantabulous games like Pin the Tail on the Pony!" she rambled on before continuing the song.

"Oh the Grand Galloping Gala is the best place for me

Oh the Grand Galloping Gala is the best place for me

'Cause it's the most galarrific superly-terrific gala ever

In the whole galaxy

Wheee!!"

" Oh thank you Twilight/Jonathan," Pinkie said as she shoved her face right in front of Twilight's, "it's the most wonderful-est gift ever!"

“Well,” I started saying.

" Um," Twilight continued.

"Actually..." we continued.

Suddenly, a new voice gasped in awe. Turning to see its' source, I saw Rarity standing next to Spike, who now held the two tickets in his claws.

"Are those what I think they are?" Rarity asked.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Pinkie/Sandra exclaimed, " Twilight's/Jonathan’s taking me to The Grand Galloping Gala in Canterlot!"

"The gala?" Rarity gasped, "I design ensembles for the gala every year, but I've never had the opportunity to attend. Oh, the society, the culture, the glamor! It's where I truly belong, and where I'm destined to meet him!"

"Him?" I asked, "um, not being rude, who’s him?"

"Him." she emphasised, her eyes becoming misty, " I would stroll through the gala, and everyone would wonder, 'Who is that mysterious mare?' They would never guess that I was just a simple pony from little old Ponyville. Why, I would cause such a sensation that I would be invited for an audience with Princess Celestia herself, and the princess would be so taken with the style and elegance that she would introduce me to him, her nephew: the most handsome, eligible unicorn stallion in Canterlot. Our eyes would meet, our hearts would melt. Our courtship would be magnificent. He would ask for my hoof in marriage, and of course I would say, 'Yes!' We would have a royal wedding, befitting a princess, which is" she giggled, "what I would become upon marrying him, the stallion of my dreams!"

“Really,” I said in a deadpan voice.

"Twilight," Rarity declared. "I simply cannot believe you would invite Pinkie Pie so she can... party, and prevent me from meeting my true love!

How could you? Hmph."

"Well, actually Rarity..." I began.

"Hey!" Spike suddenly shouted out. Turning around in his direction, I spotted a small white bunny dashing way from him, with the four tickets in its' mouth, towards a certain yellow mare.

"Angel," Fluttershy gasped, "These are perfect."

"Uh, listen guys," Twilight said, "We haven't decided who to give the extra tickets to.”

"You haven't?!" Rarity, Pinkie, and Sandra exclaimed at the same time, turning to face usher with their eyes wide.

“Yeah, and it’s our choice to choose who we want to bring to the gala,” I said.

"Um... excuse me, Twilight, Jonathan." Fluttershy quietly inquired, "I would just like to ask, I mean, if it would be alright, if you haven't given it to someone else..."

"You?" Rarity asked in disbelief, "You want to go to the gala?"

"Oh, no." Fluttershy said flatly, before bunny tapped it's foot rapidly on her leg, "I mean, yes, or, actually, kind of. You see, it's not so much The Grand Galloping Gala as it is the wondrous private gated garden that surrounds the dance. The flowers are said to be the most beautiful and fragrant in all of Equestria. For the night of the gala, and that night alone, would they all be in bloom... and that's just the flora! Don't get me started on the fauna. There's loons and toucans and bitterns, oh my! Hummingbirds that can really hum, and buzzards that can really buzz. White-blue jays, and red jays, and green jays, pink jays and pink flamingos!"

"Gee, Fluttershy," Twilight was unsure of what to say, "it sounds... beautiful?"

"Wait just a minute!" a new, but familiar voice said from above. Looking above to see its' source, we saw that it was none other than...

"Rainbow Dash." I said as she swooped down to land in front of me and Twilight, "Are you stalking us?"

"No?" she asked in an embarrassing voice.

“Uh huh, are you sure?" I said bluntly.

"No!" she declared,  "I mean, yes! I mean, maybe! Look, it doesn't matter. I couldn't risk a goody-four-shoes like you two giving those tickets away to just anybody!"

I just stare at the audience in deadpan face and back at Rainbow Dash.

"Wait just another minute." a southern voice suddenly cut in.

"Oh, AJ." I groaned as the orange pony trotted towards us, "Please don't tell me you were following us too?"

"No. I was followin' this one to make sure she didn't try any funny business." she answered, pointing at Rainbow Dash, "Still trying to take mah ticket."

“Really…again,” I said again in a deadpan voice.

"Your ticket?!" Rainbow retorted, now hovering in the air.

"But Twilight's taking me!" Pinkie cut in. “And Jonathan’s taking me,” Sandra added in.

With those words, all of the girls surrounded us, arguing to each other over who should get the other ticket.

"Girls." I said, trying to catch their attention. It did no good.

"Girls." I repeated, louder more sternly. Once more, they ignored me.

I was going to yell a third time, but it turned out that I didn't need to.

"QUIET!" Twilight yelled, causing everyone to fall silent.

"And then I said, 'Oatmeal? Are you craz...?'" Pinkie faltered before letting out a small "oh."

"Girls," Twilight declared, "there's no use in arguing."

"But Twilight..." Rarity moaned.

"Eh!" Twilight cut her off, "This is our decision, and I'm gonna make it on my own, and I certainly can't think straight with all this noise..." her stomach suddenly rumbled, "not to mention hunger. Now go on, shoo."

The seven ponies and my dragon trotted/walked off, grumbling with their heads drooped down except for Elusive who I intentionally snatched him with me.

"And don't worry," Twilight called out to them, "We'll figure this out..." her dropped down dejectedly. somehow."

“But how?” I asked.

“I don’t know,” she answered. I thought about it and there was only one thing that I can do...

"Come on," I said, placing a comforting hoof on her shoulder, "let's just go and find somewhere to eat. We can clear our heads and think this through, right?"

Twilight gave off a sad sigh, before turning to me with a small smile on her face.

"Yeah," she said, "let's do that. Maybe we can make a decision over lunch."

"Sure." I said. With that, we started trotting off towards our destination.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As we sat down with our menus, Twilight's face began to fall, and she placed her head on the table.

"Something wrong?" I inquired.

"Oh, Jonathan" she sighed sadly, " what am I gonna do? All seven of our best friends have really good reasons to go to the gala." She began picking the petals of a flower in a vase on the table, "Applejack, or Rainbow Dash? Pinkie Pie or Fluttershy, Rarity or Brianna, Sandra... Oh, who should go with me?". She then stuck out her tongue and used it to place the petals in her mouth.

“Well mostly five out of the seven had good reason for the gala,” I answered.

"Have you made your decision?" the waiter asked as he walked over to our table.

"I CAN'T DECIDE!" Twilight yelled in frustration. Several other ponies looked up.

"Twilight," Spike said, "he just wants to take your order."

"Oh." Twilight realized, "I would love a daffodil and daisy sandwich."

"Same as Twilight please." I ordered.

"Do you have any rubies?" Spike asked.

“Oo rubies?” Elusive said, “Can I have that too waiter.”

The waiter gave them an un-amused look. "No? Okay, I'll have hay fries. Extra crispy." Spike/Elusive said disappointedly, tossing the menu behind him.

"What do you think, Jonathan?" Twilight asked me.

"Think of what?"

"How do I choose which one of our friends to take to the gala? And when I do choose, will the other four be mad at me? I mean, I could give up my ticket and give away two, but that would still leave three disappointed ponies. What if I..."

“Hold up here, if I was in your position, I would go with my gut, however, I’m in the same situation with you Twilight, so I don’t really know.” I stated.

Twilight sighed sadly again, "I know."

The waiter returned with three plates. One with a sandwich containing daisies and daffodils, another  holding a huge pile of fries (or as I would call them, chips, even though they aren't. Don't question me, I'm British!"), and the third with same sandwhich Twilight wanted. The scent entered my nostrils, and I felt the inside of my mouth beginning to water.

"Ah, your food." he said as he placed them on the table.

Spike didn't hesitate to dig in. As Spike shoved the fries into his mouth, I just didn’t had time with food because I was a little worried for Twilight.

I came over to Twilight and said in a whisper, “Hey Twilight your food is here.”

"Hu, oh thank you." Twilight said in "This looks so good. I'm sure everything will be much clearer once I eat."

As she was about to take a bite out of her sandwich, all of the other ponies that were sitting outside suddenly raced inside the restaurant.

"Em, madam? Monsieur?" The waiter asked, now standing just in-between the door leading inside, "Are you both going to eat your food in ze rain?"

Rain? What was he  talking about? There weren't a cloud in the sky.

"It's not raining." Twilight said. She spoke too soon. Around us, it was chucking it down, yet for some reason the sun seemed to shine around us. "What's going on?" she asked to no one in particular, looking up to see a hole in the clouds, which was where the sun's rays were coming from.

I had suspicion that somepony or someponies were up to this.

"Hi there best friend forever I've ever ever had!", said a voice I'd heard enough times today to know who it was. A certain cyan pegasus made herself visible from the other side of the hole. "Enjoying the sunny weather?" another voice I also heard asked, it was Sandra, one of my best friends.

But before Twilight had to speak I told her, “I’ve got this Twilight.” She nodded in agreement.

"Rainbow Dash, Sandra," I questioned suspiciously, "what are you doing?"

"Whaddya mean?" Rainbow asked innocently, "We just saw the two smartest, most generous ponies about to get rained on, so we thought we'd kick a hole in the clouds to keep her dry so she could dine in peace, that's all."

"Rainbow, Sandra, you're not trying to get extra consideration for the extra tickets by doing Twilight and I extra special favors, are you?"

"Us? No no no, of course not!"

"Uh-huh."

"Seriously," Sandra insisted, "We'd do it for any pony." they then chuckled nervously, realizing that many other ponies around us were getting soaked to the skin.

"Rainbow, Sandra," I explained, "We are not comfortable accepting unwanted favors, so We'd appreciate it if you close up that rain cloud right now."

"Fine." Rainbow groaned, before zipping up the hole in the cloud.

"That's better." I said.

“Thanks Jonathan,” Twilight thanked.

We started levitating the sandwich towards our mouth. Before we could take a single bite, the rain hit the three of us, soaking us and our food. A real pity as well when Rainbow did that to us.

"Twilight, Jonathan,"

I turned my attention towards the new, but familiar voice, and there was Rarity. She was keeping dry thanks to an umbrella connected to a saddle on her back.

"it's raining."

"No, really?" Twilight asked sarcastically.

"Please don’t think she’s trying give us a favor too." I said in my head.

"Come with me before you catch a cold!" Rarity exclaimed, grabbing Twilight and pulling her away from the table. Not wanting to spend much more time standing outside getting wet, I quickly followed post haste.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We were now safely inside the confides of Carousel Boutique, where me and Twilight shook ourselves like dogs until we were dry.

Unfortunately, as we turned round, we saw that Rarity was now twice as soaked as the both of us were.

"Oops," Twilight chuckled meekly, "sorry."

"Oh no," Rarity smiled it off, "it's quite alright. After all, you, me, and Jonathan are... the best of friends, are we not? And you know what the

best of friends do?"

Wait what did she just say?

"Uh..." Twilight was clueless.

"Makeovers!" Rarity trilled, using her magic to cover herself and Twilight with a screen. And I would say that only God knew what happened behind there, but he's not real is he? I could swear that I heard the sound of drills behind there!

"Ugh, Rarity," I heard Twilight protest, "ow, this really isn't fixing it. I mean, thank you but, ooh, that's too tight!"

“Rarity what are you trying to do here?” I asked

"Oh nothing darling, and there." Rarity said, "Oh, you're simply darling."

"Uh, yeah," Twilight admitted, "it is kinda pretty, isn't it?"

"And you two." Rarity directed towards Spike and Elusive, "Oh Spike, I have a dandy little outfit for the dashing gent!"

"D-ah," Spike/Elusive cried out as he tried to escape, before being obscured by the screen, "ow, oh, hey, wow, watch it, whoa, can you please get off of me!?"

The screen once again moved away, now revealing Spike wearing bright blue Georgian Style suit and a blond wig, much to his horror and Elusive wearing a dark green Georgian Style suit and a white wig, which really didn’t mind Elusive a lot. Elusive started laughing at Spike’s outfit and Spike got angry but also was blushing too at the same time.

"Oh, Spike." Twilight giggled at the scene.

"Now you just need a hat" Rarity finished, placing a large black hat on the both dragon's head.

"Ugh," Spike groaned, "I told you, I don't want any part of this girly gala gunk, see you back at the library." With that, he immediately dashed out through the door, leaving behind his embarrassing outfit.

Rarity and Elusive giggled somewhat forcefully; "Oh who needs him anyway?" she asked, pulling forward a mirror in front of Twilight, who began to check herself out. "This is all about you, and how fabulous you'll look at The Grand Galloping Gala!"

I knew it, Rarity was just using us to get the ticket to the gala.

"Wait," Twilight realized, "The Grand...

"And oh, my goodness," Rarity gasped, "what a coincidence. I happen to have an ensemble of my own that matches yours to a T. We would be the belles of the ball, you and I. Everyone would be clamoring for our attention. All eyes would be on us, and then everyone would finally know, the most beautiful, most talented, most sophisticated pony in all of Equestria is Rarity the unicorn. Ah, and Twilight Sparkle, of course." she added, laughing nervously.

"I see what's going on." Twilight said, clearly agitated, "You're just buttering us up so we give you the extra ticket. Well it's not gonna work." she threw off the saddle she was wearing, "You're going to have to wait for mour decision just like everyone else. Now, if you'll excuse us, We've been trying all day just to get some lunch, come on Jonathan and Elusive." she finished as she headed for the door.

“On my way Twilight, let’s go Elusive,” I responded.

“Nah I’m fine, I’m just gonna stay with Rarity,” Elusive said. I just started getting angry and growl, so there was one thing that I did, I used my magic on Elusive and we headed towards Rarity’s door to Twilight.

“Hey put me down,” Elusive demanded.

I just responded saying “Nope”

Lunch. Jeez, I forgot, I was still hungry. Damn I was going to have some delicious garlic bread earlier, but I only managed one bite out of it!  Clearly the weather didn't like me, or else in wouldn't have rained!

"Did somepony say lunch?"

Twilight was suddenly yanked outside by a certain orange pony. I rushed out of the boutique with Elusive, and there was Applejack with Brianna having a cart fool of food products.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Twilight exclaimed in disbelief at the site.

"Ah got apple pie, apple fritters, apple tarts, apple dumplings, apple crisps, apple crumblers, and apple Brown Betty!" AJ declared, "Uh, the dessert, not my auntie. What do ya say there, best friend?"

Twilight's stomach grumble once again, "Is that a yes?" AJ asked.

"No. No." Twilight said in clear frustration, "I don't know who I'm giving the ticket to, and all these favors aren't making it any easier to decide. In fact, I'm less sure now than I was this morning. Ugh!"

"So, that's a maybe?" Brianna guessed as the purple unicorn galloped away.

"Brianna, you know that I love you as best friends," she shook her head in agreement, "but can you do yourself and Applejack a favor, and stop all of this alright? No good is going to come out of you and Bri continuing!" I said.

I didn't wait to her answer; I just galloped off in the same direction which Twilight had galloped away.

"Ugh," Twilight groaned as we trotted towards the library's front door, "I never thought being showered with favors would be so aggravating.". Opening the door, what we didn't expect to see inside were  four birds and squirrel, led by a yellow pegasus mare who was humming to herself as they tidied up the library.

"Fluttershy," Twilight said in disbelief, "not you too?"

"Oh, well, hello Twilight. Hello James." Fluttershy said sweetly, "I hope you don't mind, but we're all doing a little spring cleaning for you."

"It's summer." I deadpanned.

"Oh, well, better late than never, right? It was Angel's idea.". The white bunny in question was wearing a chef's hat and mixing up a salad.

"You're not doing this for the ticket, are you?" Twilight questioned, arching her eyebrow in suspicion.

"Oh no," Fluttershy insisted, "I'm doing this because you're my very best friend. Right Angel?". The white bunny gave her disapproving glance.

"Oh, yes," she admitted, still smiling, "we are just doing this for the ticket." With those words, Angel rushed up to Twilight, offering her the bowl full of salad. Twilight and my stomach rumbled once again.

"No, no, no!" she exclaimed, "Well, this was all very nice of you and Angel, but we are not accepting any extra favors until I've made my final decision, so we are going to have to ask you to leave." she said sarcastically, opening the door.

"SURPRISE!" a band of voices suddenly cheered outside, accompanied by the sound of party whistle and some confetti. Suddenly, two pairs of pink hooves grabbed Twilight and me and yanked us outside. Elusive rushed out to see what was going on, and saw a crowd of ponies, including Pinkie Pie and Sandra, toss Twilight and me into the air. As they did so, Pinkie/Sandra began to sing:

"Twilight is my bestest friend

Whoopie, whoopie!"

"Pinkie/Sandra..." Twilight said, failing to get the pink pony's attention.

"She's the cutest, smartest, all around best pony, pony!"

"Pinkie/Sandra." Twilight repeated, again getting no reaction.

"I bet if I throw a super-duper fun party, party!"

"Pinkie/Sandra!" Twilight said, now protesting.

"She'll give her extra ticket to the Gala to me!"

"PINKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE/SANDRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Twilight finally yelled, making all of the other ponies the back away, and causing US to fall to the ground with a *thud*.

"Yes, Twilight/Jonathan?" Pinkie/Sandra asked innocently, blinking her eyelids rapidly.

"At least the other ponies tried to be subtle about the ticket!" Twilight exclaimed.

"Wait, what ticket? What gala?" one of the ponies asked.

"Oh, you didn't know?" Pinkie declared, "Twilight has an extra ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala!"

"The Grand Galloping Gala?" all of the ponies cried out in unison, before surrounding me, Twilight, Spike, and Elusive.

“Oh no,” I said in my head.

"Ever told you how much I love your mane?" I heard one them ask.

“Oh no,” I said again in my head.

"I'll wash your dishes." I heard another say, but by that time the three of us were trying to get away from it all. However, before we could escape, we ran into another pony holding some unearthed flowers in her hoof.

Oh no,” I said again in my head.

"Would you like any help with your gardening?" she asked. We turned around, but there was another mare standing right in front of us.

Oh no,” I said again in my head.

"I have a cartload of extra carrots." she offered, as the others proceeded to surround us.

Oh no,” I said again in my head.

"What are we gonna do?" Spike/Elusive asked Twilight and me, as we tried to climb onto her back.

"We're... gonna... RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!" Twilight and me exclaimed, leaping into the air and dashing off, Spike holding on to her tail. I didn't need telling twice, and I followed her just as quickly.

I don't really know how I can describe what happened next, it all happened so quickly. To put simply, we went all Benny Hill with this, which I don't really think is very funny. I mean, all he does is run around like an idiot. League of Gentlemen is way better! As well as Monty Python of course! But I digress, back to the story.

Eventually, we reached a dead end, and the mob surrounded us. This day was turning out to be the worst ever! I'm starving, got my lunch ruined before I could enjoy it, and now I'd been chased by a mob of ponies obsessed with going to a royal ball!

Suddenly, Twilight and I started using our magic and there was a flash of white light, accompanied by a *poof*ing sound. When everything was visible again, we were suddenly back in the library. Then it dawned on me. Twilight had told me about a teleportation spell during our little lessons, something that I was unable to do at the present time. If I tried doing it now, I don't think the results would be very positive. She must have used it to get us away from the mob, thank goodness! Spike looked the worse for wear however, looking like he'd been set on fire to put it bluntly.

"Warn me next time you're gonna do that." he moaned at Twilight, struggling to keep his balance.

“Same for you too Jonathan,” Elusive moaned also at me.

"I didn't even know it was gonna happen!" Twilight protested, "Now quick, lock the doors!". With that, we turned out all of the lights inside the library, and locked the doors like she said. The three of us sighed in relief, only for the light turn on, revealing our five friends (or four in my case) standing by our beds.

"Yaaaargh!" Twilight screamed, "I can't decide, I just can't decide. It's important to all of you and I just can't stand to disappoint any of you, and giving me gifts and doing me favors won't make any difference, because you're all my friends and I wanna make you all happy and I can't, I just can't!" she exclaimed, crouching on the floor in despair.

That did it for me. After seeing Twilight get so worked up because of what they had been doing, I couldn't contain my own rage and frustration.

“Guys, me and Twilight can’t think while you guys try to brag us to give you guys two tickets to the two of you, so if I were you I would of apologize for your inconceivably behavior!” I yelled, “Sorry I just can’t see Twilight like this.”

“Thanks,” Twilight said.

“You’re welcome, besides, what are friends for,” I said.

"Twilight, Jonathan, sugar," AJ said to Twilight and I, sounding concerned and sincere, "ah didn't mean to put so much pressure on ya, and if it helps, ah don't want the ticket anymore. Ya can give it to somepony else. Ah won't feel bad, I promise."

"Me too." Fluttershy added, "I feel just awful that I made you feel so awful."

"And us too." Pinkie, Sandra, and Brianna cut in and Pinkie then said, "It's no fun upsetting your friends."

"Twilight, it was unfair of me to try to force you as I did." Rarity admitted.

"Yes!" Rainbow exclaimed, "That means the ticket is mine! Ha ha, I got the ticket, I got the ticket..." she chanted in a sing song voice, until everypony in the room glared at her dissaprovingly. "you know," she said quickly, "I haven't perfected my signature moves for The Wonderbolts anyway. I don't need that ticket either."

"We all got so gun-ho about going to the gala that we couldn't see how un-gun-ho we were making you." AJ said.

"We're sorry, Twilight." they all declared in unison. Twilight smiled in relief, getting back up on her hooves.

"You two should take someone who hasn't tried doing any favors for you like we did." Rarity added.

Twilight and I nodded in understanding. She paused for a moment, before saying, "Spike, take down a note." Spike had a scroll and a quill at the ready as Twilight read her note aloud:

"Dear Princess Celestia,

Jonathan and I learned that one of the joys of friendship is sharing your blessings, but when there's not enough blessings to go around, having more than your friends can make you feel pretty awful.” Twilight said.

I continued saying, “So, though we appreciate the invitation, I will be returning all four tickets to The Grand Galloping Gala."

"What?!" the girls cried out in disbelief.

"If our friends can't all go, I don't wanna go either." Twilight announced.

"Twilight, Jonathan," AJ protested, "ya don't have to do that."

"Nope, we've made up my mind." Twilight reaffirmed, "Spike, you can send the letter now."

With those words, Spike opened the window.

“Hey Spike, can I try to blow fire to the scroll so that the letter can be send to Princess Celestia please,” Elusive asked.

“After for laughing at my goofy outfit,” Spike said angry while about to punch Elusive in the face, “Sure,” but that didn’t happened, instead

Spike gave him the scroll to do his job.

Elusive blew a purple flame onto the now sealed scroll. The flame flew out of the window, turning into smoke before disappearing.

“I’m gonna like this new ability that I have,” Elusive said excitedly.

“I hope enjoyed it because you will not be blowing flame to bring the letter to the princess, you will also writing the letter too,” Spike told Elusive.

“YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!” Elusive bursted out in excitement, “We are going to best assistance ever,” Elusive puts arms around Spike and they smile widely at each other.

"Wait, that means now you two won't get to go to the gala either." Fluttershy said sadly.

"It's okay girls." Twilight reassured, "We couldn't possibly enjoy myself without my best friends there with me," we all crowded round her

happily, "so I would rather not go at all."

Suddenly Elusive covered his mouth tightly, as if he was going to hurl.

"Well wallop mah withers, Elusive!" AJ scolded, "Isn't that just like a boy? Can't handle the least bit of sentiment!"

Suddenly, Elusive belched loudly, a wisp of smoke emerging from his mouth.

"Whoa Nelly!" AJ exclaimed in surprise, ducking down as the smoke flew through her the gap between her head and her hat. The smoke formed into another scroll, which Spike proceeded to catch.

"A letter from the princess?" Twilight said, "That was quick."

“Yeah real quick,” I said.

Elusive cleared his throat and began to read: "

My faithful students Twilight and Jonathan,

Why didn't you just say so in the first place?"

He grabbed something that must have come with the letter, and presented them to everypony in the room, "Nine tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala!"

We gasped in amazement. "Now we can all go!" Twilight declared, and the other girls cheered. Then, Twilight's stomach rumbled loudly. She

laughed nervously as Rarity trotted up to her.

"Allow us to treat you to dinner." the white unicorn said.

"What a great way to apologize!" Rainbow declared as we all walked out of the door.

"And to celebrate!" Pinkie added, "Come on everyone, the cupcakes are on me!"

This was the best thing I'd heard all day! As we walked out, there was another belch coming from behind me, as well as a flash of green light. Soon enough, Spike and Elusive rushed out through the door, holding two more tickets and Spike giggled to himself while Elusive walked next to him. Then he realized that I was standing right there next to him, to which I gave off a small smirk.

"I mean, gross, I have to go to?" he moaned, before rushing off, continuing his giggling.

Elusive started to giggle, “Hu, I don’t know what to do with Spike.” He continued to giggle while rushing off  next to Spike.

I couldn't help but chuckle as well. Some things never change it seems. Suddenly, I heard my own stomach rumble and realization, I needed to eat something.

“Hey wait for me, I’m hungry!” I yell while catching up with the girls.

Friendship is Magic/Love Part 1

Today is our very first sleepover at my house. My poodle dog, Elusive, my two best friends, and I are in my room getting ready for the very first episode that is about to start of My Little Pony. Me, Brianna and Sandra are together about to watch the episode. All of us are in our pajamas enjoying food and company together. I was wearing a red, black, gray, and white plaid pajama pants with a brownish beadier, I had a scratch pad and song writing book while we waiting. Brianna was wearing a purple pajama pants with a plain black shirt, her mind was on her family and how she loved them so dearly. Sandra was wearing a pink shirt with black pajama pants and she had her scratch pad and pencil.

“I can’t wait I’m so happy that I’m sleeping over with my best friends,” Sandra says.

“Same here,” I said, “But don’t get too excited about it.”

“Oh look it’s starting.”

“Um guys,” says Brianna, “Is that what supposed to happen.” She was pointing at the TV and yes something happened to the TV.

Sandra says, “What’s going on.”

“I don’t know,” I said.

The TV was all blurry and crazy until it stopped and we were happy that it stops. However it didn’t end there, because it turned back on but there was a hole in the middle of my TV and we were wondering why is there a hole in the middle of TV.

“What is going on here Jonathan,” Brianna said.

“Don’t know,” I said.

After saying my last word, we started looking in the hole until it started sucking us up into the TV. We needed help real bad.

“Elusive, we need help,” I said

Elusive tried to pull me back, but not Brianna or Sandra. However, a hand came out and pushed me and Elusive into the TV and before we could escape out of the hole, the hole closed at me.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sandra wondered “What’s going on here.”

I just shrugged on that question. We were floating and was wondering what’s going to happen next. Three holes came out of nowhere in front of us and we started falling to whatever place we are heading. I continued falling down with my poodle, but what was more strange, my body started changing, so as my poodle dog. I don’t know what is going to happen, but whatever it is I hope somebody will give me some answers.

“Urn…, what happened,” I said while trying to opening my eyes.

“Hello sir, are you okay,” a strange looking talking horse said.

Wait a minute I know that voice anywhere. I sprang myself up and I found myself face to face with…

“Twilight Sparkle?” I said

She was a purple mare with a navy blue with pink streaks mane and her cutiemark was like a compass but it looks more of a star. She was

caring a whole bunch of books in some kind of bag to somewhere in this unknown world.

Twilight says, “That’s me.”

I had to make a second look at her just in case. “Awesome,” I said

“Thank you kind sir,” Twilight says.

“Uh, where am I, wait a minute, am I talking,” a white creature says. The creature was looking at himself and started freaking out.

“Wha… who the heck am I,” the creature said.

Twilight says, “You are in Canterlot.”

“Oh……, wait what!?” the creature and I said together.

The dragon got up but while getting up he wondered who was the voice he just heard and from who. “Jonathan!” the dragon ran over to me.

“Elusive!” I said.

“So you’re Elusuive,” pointing at the dragon, “And you’re Jonathan,” Twilight said

“Yep,” I said.

“O…..K…..then….come with me,” Twilight says.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We are inside the Canterlot library and Twilight slammed the door on another dragon but smaller than my dragon.

“Spike, Spiiiiiike, oh there you are,” Twilight says.

Spike says, “Who are you two.”

I said, “I am Jonathan.”

“And I am Elusive,” Elusive said.

“Sweet another dragon and she’s a lady dragon,” Spike said

“Um I ‘m no she, I’m a he and also I’m also a little taller than you so yeah,” Elusive said.

“Aw man,” Spike walks away.

“So are you two from around here?” Twilight said.

“No,” Elusive said

“We are originally from a planet name Earth,” I said

Twilight says, “Earth, so you’re not a pony and you’re not a dragon.”

Elusive says,” Not really at all, I’m really a male poodle dog.”

“Uh huh, and what about you Jonathan,” Twilight says.

“I’m actually a human in earth, but I’m not the only human in here,” I said.

“There’s more!” with a shocking face.

“Yeah, me, Brianna, and Sandra we are best friends in the whole world where I’m from. We apparently got sucked inside your show by a hole,” I said.

“Hm I should give a note about this and while at it, tell her about the mare in the moon too,” Twilight says.

While Twilight and I were talking, she was reading a book that dealt with some kind of creature that might end our time being around the sun.

After Twilight commotion on me, my dog, and the mare in the moon, Spike sent the letter in a way I never thought could be possible same with my dragon/dog.

“I never seen a dragon do that,” I said.

“Same here,” Elusive said.

“Well that’s because I’m a magical baby dragon your... dragon can also do it too,” Spike said.

“Aw how cute and really?” I said.

"Yeah," he answered

Elusive tried it out on a piece of paper and it did the same thing, but instead of green fire, it was a purple fire. Spike belched and out came a scroll which I think is gross and very clever at the same time. Spike clears his throat and starts ready what the person, or in this world pony has to say.

"My dearest and most faithful student Twilight," Spike read, "there is more to a young pony's life than books and studying.”

I started laughing and Twilight glared at me for laughing at her. I stopped and walked on out the library.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Twilight, Spike, Elusive and I are riding on a chariot to Twilight’s destination.

Spike continues reading, “So I'm sending you to supervise preparations for The Summer Sun Celebration in this year's location: Ponyville.  And I have an even more essential task for you to complete: make some friends. In addition, I thought about killing the colt you mentioned, but after saying that he has friends of his own, I thought he can be very handy for you to come around."

“Oh I was also wondering who the heck I am, same with my dog, uh well I don’t know who he really is,” I said

Twilight turned around to me and my dog. She started at me first, then my dog. “You are a unicorn and your so called dog is a dragon,” Twilight said and she turned aback around.

I apparently am a unicorn and my mane a mixture of red and black streaks and coat was red with gray spots everywhere. My dog, um I mean dragon looks completely all white which I’m fine with, but his spikes were gray.

“Oh… but there’s one question, what in the world is this on the side of my………flank?” I said.

Twilight continued saying, “That there is your cutiemark.”

“Cutie……mark, hm never heard of it.”

“A cutiemark is something that shows your special talent, look and see for yourself.”

“Special talent?” I turned around to see what my cutiemark is.

My cutiemark has a picture of a shaped heart, however, it’s not normally what hearts look like because there was a musical note, a sewing needle, ballet shoes, and a string that created the heart because I love to do all of them at my spear times. In the middle was showing two twinkling stars, however, I don’t know what that means hm.

“Um Jonathan, Jonathan, JONATHAN!” Elusive said

“Hu what is it,” I snapped out my daydreaming.

Twilight continued, “We’re here.”

Spike said.  "Come on Twilight making friends is really not like being in a horror movie."

“Yeah making friends is really nice and once you start knowing a little more, then your friendship will grow too.” I said

Twilight, Spike, Elusive and I were walking around Ponyville until two pink mares came up in front of us. One of the mares what full on shades of pink and her cutiemark had three balloons, while the other pink mare had black and pink hair streaks in her mane and her cutiemark was a pencil diagonally on top of a scratchpad and just like me, two twinkling stars were on the scratch pad. Well I do know someone who likes to draw but I think she wasn’t the one.

They both gasped and speeded past through us at the moment when Twilight said “hello” to them.

“Um well that was weird,’ I said

“Truly weird,” Twilight said, ‘let’s just continue on.”

“Right,” Elusive, Spike, and I said.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Twilight, Spike, Elusive, and I are starting our journey in some kind of farm far away from Ponyville.

"Summer Sun Celebration: Official Overseer's Checklist," Spike read.

Elusive continues, "Number One: banquet preparations.  Sweet Apple Acres."

Beyond the fence stood a house that looked like it had been converted from a barn.  It was bright red with white trim.  It was almost mistaken for an actual barn, but the flower planters from the window sills and the additions made to the building such as the porch and a little fence of its own.  Off to one side there were animals.  There were chickens clucking around near coops, pigs snorting happily as they wallowed and ate, and cows standing around in pastures, munching grass with a few gossiping about the ponies they had seen and some of the other cows in other parts of the pasture.  Off to another were some gardens with plants.  Most were too small or young to be recognizable to the group from Canterlot.  It was safe to guess they were probably something grown to be eaten though.

Most of all, there were apple trees.  Hundreds, if not thousands, of apple trees.  Entire hills were covered in them as far as the eye could see.  Many of them were covered with the fruit.  They grew small and large, in green, yellow, red, and mixes of the colors as well as shades in between.

"Yeehaw!" shouted a southern female voice. An orange earth pony with a blonde mane tied in a ponytail, a brown Stetson hat, and three red apples for a cutie mark rushed up to an apple tree and kicked it, sending its contents into the baskets nestled underneath. She then gave a small pose, a way of congratulating herself.

"Let's get this over with" Twilight sighed as she trotted over to the mare. "Good afternoon," she began, "my name is Twilight Sparkle...".

Suddenly, the orange mare grabbed her hoof and shook it vigorously. How she 'grabbed' it, so to speak, I have no idea.

"Well howdy doo Miss Twilight!" the southern pony greeted enthusiastically, "A pleasure makin' your acquaintance! Ah'm Applejack, we here at Sweet Apple Acres sure do like makin' new friends!"

"Friends?" Twilight asked, her voice vibrating as her hoof was continuously shook, "Actually, I..."

"An' who are you mister?" Applejack interrupted, turning to me and releasing Twilight's hoof, which kept shaking up and down until Spike stopped her. He snickered at her distress.

“Oh me I’m Jonathan James Hill and this is my dragon Elusive, I’m not usually from around here,” I said

“Really?” Applejack said.

Twilight continued saying, “He’s originally from a planet name earth.”

“Well that very kind of ya,” Applejack says speaking in a country voice.

“Thank you, I do talk country myself at time to time,” I said.

Applejack stared at me, ‘Did you live in a farm.”

“No, why asking.”

“I was just wondering besides if you were not born in a farm then how can you speak country.” She continued.

“Well my mother was born in the south she was more of a slave and my dad was born in the north he wasn’t really kind of a slave to what I

heard of.” I nervously say.

She still continued to stare at me wondering where I’m from, “So you’re from earth.”

“Yes, there are seven continents, two oceans I think, and a couple of lakes and seas, oh and a whole lot of countries and cities,’ I stated out.

“And you’re from,” Applejack said.

Elusive continued saying, “We’re from the United State of America.”

Twilight cleared her throat, "Well, I am in fact here to supervise preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration, and you're in charge of the food?"

"We sure as sugar are!" AJ proudly declared, "Would ya care to sample some?"

"As long as it doesn't take too long." Twilight replied, but before she had even finished her sentence AJ had rushed off and rang a rusty triangle.

"SOUP'S ON, EVERYPONY!" she hollered.

*WHAM!*

Before the three of us could react, me, Twilight and Spike were struck from behind by a stampede of ponies. When the dust cleared, we found ourselves sitting at a table in a gazebo.

"Now," AJ announced, popping up next to us, "How 'bout ah introduce y'all to the Apple Family?". She pointed out to all the ponies that were surrounding us.

"Thanks," Twilight began, "but we really need to hurry...", she was cut off as a fritter was shoved in front of her face by a yellowish-green pony with a green mane.

AJ then began introducing all of her family members, each one putting an apple based food product onto the table as she said their names. I would tell you their names, but I'm afraid I lost track as her speaking began to speed up and the food began piling up on the table.

“It’s a free country, but we still have rules and some I don’t like specifically.”

“Really like what,” Twilight said.

“One has to deal with guns but I think this place don’t have to deal with guns,” I said. I hope

“So you guys can use, in your world, guns," Twilight said.

I shook my head agreeing that we use guns at my country.

“But I don’t like the idea of having guns where I live,’ I said

“Oh really,’ twilight said.

“Yes, I prefer peace and love,” I continued saying.

“Aw that’s the best thing I ever heard,” she said.

Finally, she inhaled and introduced the last three. "Big Macintosh," she pointed to a large red stallion with a brownish-blonde mane that was holding a cupcake in his hoof. "Apple Bloom," to a small yellow filly with a red mane and a cute purple bow who was balancing a cake on her back. "and," she announced before shoving an apple into Twilight's mouth, "Granny Smith", she pointed to an elderly mare dozing in a rocking chair.

"Up an' at 'em Granny Smith!" AJ called over to the old mare, "We got guests!"

Granny Smith woke up and slowly walked up to the gazebo, mumbling incoherently.

"Why, ah'd say, they're already part of the family!". AJ's comment caused Twilight to spit out the apple in her mouth.

"Okay," she said, laughing nervously, "well,  I can see the food situation is handled so we'll be on our way."

"Aren't ya gonna stay for brunch?" the yellow filly asked. She stared at us with huge puppy dog eyes, her bottom lip trembling as if she was about to cry.

My heart melted. How could anyone say no to something as adorable as that? I found myself opening my mouth to speak, but Twilight cut me off before I could say anything.

"Sorry," she said, "but we have an awful lot to do."

Everypony, including me, sighed disappointedly and lowered their heads and disappointment.

Twilight looked around at everypony around her and the sad expressions on their faces, "Fine." she said begrudgingly. Everypony around us

cheered, while I kept my happiness to myself.

I looked around and I saw another mare but this time she was an earth pony, since Twilight told me there are earth, unicorn, and pegasi ponies around what apparently is called Equestria. Her coat purple just like Twilight, but her mane is way different than Twilight’s mane because it has black and purple streaks of hair in the mane. Her cutiemark had two twinkling stars just like mines and that other girl that I don’t know she is when we met her in Ponyville. It might represent something but what I didn’t want to know what it means. She started walking over towards me.

“Hey there stranger,’ she said.

Wait that voice, is it really? “Brianna?” I said.

She just blinked, "How do you know my name."

AJ came up next to Brianna, “oh you might not know him Bri.”

Bri, I like it.

AJ continued, “This here is Jonathan.” I just smiled and wave at her.

Her eyes widen open in realization. “Jonathan, oh my gosh, it’s really you.” She said. She started running over to me and began hugging me real tight and I did the same. While we were hugging the twinkling stars in our cutiemark started glowing brighter and brighter the minute.

Twilight, Spike, Elusive, AJ and the rest of AJ families were staring at us in shock.

Me and Bri opened our eyes and looked around noticing that we were floating and everyone was looking at us in shock, so we stopped hugging and we came down after that in embarrassment.

“We should continue on going,” I said while walking.

Twilight said, “Sure.”

We were starting to walk until we were stopped by Bri.

“Wait, I’m coming with you,” Bri says while running towards us.

“We really don’t need more people,” Twilight said.

“Look Twilight, we’re best friends and we need to stick together,” I said.

“Fine,” she said in an annoyed tone.

“Thanks Twilight,” Bri said.

“Yay Bri,” Elusive jumps on Brianna

“Elusive, you’re a dragon and you can talk,’ Bri said.

“Yeah, and she’s not the only dragon that can talk,” Spike said.

“Who are you,’ Bri asked.

“I’m Spike,” he said.

“Aw cute,” she picks him up and continues on with our journey until AJ came up to us and gave us a dozen of pies.

“Here’s some pies for the journey you taking,” she said.

“Thanks AJ,” I said.

AJ thanked me and we continued on with our journey.

A while later, the five of us were walking back into town, "Food job taken care of," Spike read from his scroll, "next is weather". Twilight and Brianna trailed behind us, her stomach bloated.

"Uhh," she groaned, "I ate too much pie."

“Me too,” Bri groaned too.

Well they had too many pies while I was fine besides I have eaten a lot before, but today I didn’t want to over stuff myself today.

"Hmm," Spike pondered, "there's supposed to be a pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash clearing the clouds"

“Yeah, where is she anyway,” Elusive says.

Looking up, Bri, Twilight and I clearly saw a large number of clouds floating in the sky. "Well she's not doing a very good job is she?" Twilight said sarcastically.

Me and Brianna nodded in agreement at Twilight’s comment.

*WHAM!*

Before I knew what had happened, me, Brianna, and Twilight were lying in muddy puddle, having suddenly felt a force suddenly crash into my

side, which caused me to crash into Twilight and leave us face down in mud.

"Excuse me?" a new voice giggled. It sounded raspy , yet unmistakably female. I looked up and saw a cyan coloured pegasus with a rainbow coloured mane hovering over us. Her cutie mark was a white cloud with a rainbow coloured lightning bolt striking from it. Definitely Rainbow Dash, I thought, no question about it.

"Let me help you." she said before zooming off. She immediately came back with a large gray cloud, which she placed directly on top of me and Twilight. How did she do that? The next thing I knew, me, Brianna, and Twilight were drenched with cold water that rained from the cloud. Seeing as it moved slightly up and down, I could assume that the multi-coloured mare was bouncing on the cloud to make the water come out from underneath. Wow, the ponies could control weather? Humans could only dream of being able to do something like that!

Rainbow Dash looked down at us from the cloud, which I noticed was now white after having used up all of its rain water. "Oops," she giggled, "I guess I overdid it! How about this?".

Before I could even respond, she suddenly circled me and Twilight at an incredible speed. I couldn't see anything beside a rainbow blur spinning around us, and could feel the huge gust of air that was blowing around me as a result. "My very own patented Rain-Blow dry!" I heard Rainbow declare. Finally, the spinning stopped, and I could see the outside world once more. However, I knew that whatever the cyan pegasus had done, it had completely dishevelled mine and Twilight's hair.

"No no no," Rainbow said as he landed back on the ground, "don't thank me. You're quite welcome." She stared at me, Brianna, and Twilight, and tried to suppress a laugh, her eyes tearing up. Unfortunately, she couldn't control herself and fell to the ground laughing. And if that wasn't enough, Spike and Elusive joined in, lying on Rainbow's back as they both laughed uncontrollably.

"Let me guess," Twilight said un-amused, "you're Rainbow Dash?"

"The one and only!" Rainbow stood up, knocking Spike off her back. She began hovering in front of us, flapping her wings to stay in the air.

"Why? You hear of me?" she asked, shoving her head in front of Twilight.

"I heard you meant to be keeping the sky clear." Twilight said. She sighed before continuing, "I'm Twilight Sparkle, and..."

“I’m Jonathan and this is my dragon Elusive and my best Brianna and the Princess sent me and Twilight to check on the weather.” I said and while saying Elusive and Brianna’s name, they waved and said “Hello” to Rainbow Dash.

Pointing at me, Brianna, and Elusive. “So you’re Jonathan… and you’re Brianna…… and you’re Elusive.

We nodded our head in agreement. “Me and Brianna are best friends,’ while saying that we put our hooves over each other and again the twinkling stars in our cutiemark started glowing and we were floating…again. We had to stop after Rainobw Dash’s shocker.

“He….he,’ me and Brianna nervously said.

‘Woah, I never seen that happened before,” Rainbow said.

“I know it happened before at the farm,” Twilight said.

“Really?’ Rainbow said.

“Yeah,’ Spike said.

“Um, guys what about the weather,” Bri said.

"Oh yeah, that'll be a snap!" Rainbow said dismissively, now lying on the cloud, "I'll do that in a jiffy, just as soon as I'm done practicing."

"Practicing for what?" Twilight inquired.

"The Wonderbolts!" Dash declared, pointing to a nearby poster, "They're gonna perform at the celebration tomorrow, and I'm gonna show em my stuff!". She jumped off the cloud she was on and landed on another.

"The Wonderbolts?" Twilight asked.

"Yup!"

"The most talented fliers in all of Equestria?"

"That's them!"

"Please," Twilight scoffed, "they'd never accept a pegasus who can't keep the sky clear for one measly day!"

"Hey!" Rainbow countered, "I can clear this sky in ten seconds flat!"

"Prove it." Twilight replied slyly, narrowing her eyes in smug confidence.

Rainbow Dash immediately took flight and before you knew it, she really had cleared the sky in the said time limit. I watched in awe at this marvel, it was a very impressive sight to behold. As for Twilight, Elusive, Brianna, Spike, and I, our jaws had dropped like a ton of anvils in amazement.

"What did I tell you?" Rainbow declared smugly, "Ten. Seconds. Flat. I'd never leave Ponyville hangin'!" She laughed, "You should see the looks on your faces. You're a laugh Twilight, Brianna, and Jonathan. I can't wait to hang out some more!" This caused all of us to snap out of her shock induced trance.

Brianna and I smiled at Rainbow, but for Twilight, she just growled.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spike wrote down something on his scroll, we were about to enter town hall. "Decorations," he read as we entered the town hall. I stared in awe at the sight before me. Whoever did all this had really outdone them in my opinion!

"Beautiful." said Spike, sounding a mile away.

"Yes," Twilight agreed, "the decor is coming along nicely. This ought to be quick. I'll be at the library in no time! Beautiful indeed."

"Not the decor," Spike said dreamily, "her!" He pointed towards a pure white unicorn with a curled purple mane and three diamonds as her cutie mark. I noticed that she had larger eyelashes compared to the other mares I had seen.

"No, no, no." she said to herself as she looked at different ribbons. She had a very sophisticated voice, almost upper class like. "Oh!” she exclaimed at one, "Goodness, no!"

Spike stared at her, his eyes having morphed into two hearts. "How are my spines?" he asked, "Are they straight?" “Yes they’re straight lover boy," Elusive said. “Shut up,’ Spike said. Elusive laughed it out on what he said to Spike. I stared at her as well, but not because of her good look. It was because her horn started to glow a blue aura, and the ribbons were actually floating. Hm I’m a unicorn, so should be able to do that too, but how?

"How is she doing that?" I asked Brianna.

“She’s using magic to levitate those objects that she has, you can do it too,” Brianna said. She was right I can do it, but I really don’t know how to use magic.

We all walked over to the mare and Twilight began saying, “good afternoon.”

"Just a moment please," the white mare declared, "I'm in the zone, as it were!"

"Oh yes," she said as she tied a sparkling red ribbon to a wooden pole, "sparkle always does the trick, does it not? Why Rarity, you are a talent!" So Rarity was here name? "Now, how can help you-Wahaha!" she screamed in horror as soon as she saw us, "Oh my stars, darlings! Whatever happened to your coiffures?!"

"Oh, you mean my mane?" Twilight asked, looking up at the crow's nest she had nestled on her head, "Well, it's a long story. I'm just here to check on the decorations and then I'll be out of your hair!"

"Out of my hair?" Rarity asked, "What about your hair?" She immediately came over and started pushing me, Brianna, and Twilight away somewhere.

"Wait, where are we going? Help!" Twilight yelped.

“Uh where are we going Rarity?” I said.

“Well of course my boutique,’ Rarity said.

Brianna and I were nervous on what Rarity will do to us.

Rarity had taken me and Twilight all the way from the town hall to the Carousel Boutique, which as it turned she owned, insisting that she fixed our manes and that she find us an outfit for the Summer Sun Celebration. Now that Rarity had finished with me, she had switched her assault of fashion onto Twilight and Brianna.

"No, no, uh-uh." she rambled on as she had Twilight wear a vast assortment of different outfits, "Too green! Too yellow! Too poofy! Not poofy enough! Too frilly! Too shiny!". Finally, she placed Twilight in a white outfit with an emerald encrusted on the front. To be honest, it reminded me of both a saddle and a corset.

"Now go on my dear," Rarity said to Twilight, "You were telling me where you're from!" She started tugging onto the cords on the back of both outfits with her mouth.

"I've... been sent... from Canterlot... too..." Twilight managed to wheeze out, before Rarity suddenly released her grip and sent herself flying backwards.

"Canterlot?!" she cried, "Oh, I am so envious! The glamour! The sophistication! I've always dreamed of living there!" She then turned to me and asked, "And where are from there as well good sir?"

“I’m not from here, you see me, Elusive, and Brianna are from a planet called Earth,” I said

"Yeah…..it’s…….really strange……,” Bri continued.

Elusive continued on saying, “We were sucked in by a hole that was in the middle of the hole.”

“Earth, never heard of it,’ Rarity said.

“Well where we are from our name is the United State of America the free country,’ I continued on.

Rarity continued saying, “So there’s no rules right.”

“Well,’ Elusive, Brianna, and I said.

I started to tell her about my country. Then, Brianna continued on with politics and all of the other stuff that went on through the years. Finally, Elusive told her about this year and how it’s like today.

“Wow that’s very interesting,” Rarity commented, “We're going to be best friends, the three of us!" She noticed the emerald encrusted in Twilights outfit.

"Emeralds?! Oh, what was I thinking? Let me get you two some rubies!" she declared before rushing off.

"Quick," Twilight said, running for the door, "before she decides to dye my coat a new color!"

“Right, because I like my mane very much,” Brianna stated.

“I’ll just stay here with Rarity,’ Spike said in a loving way.

Elusive snatches Spike away from Rarity, “Come on lover boy”

“Hey,” Spike said angrily.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Wasn't she wonderful?" Spike said dreamily, lying on Twilight's back following our 'escape' from Rarity's boutique.

"Focus Casanova." Twilight told him, "What's next on the list?"

"Oh! Music!" Spike read from the scroll in his claw, "It's the last one!" Suddenly, the three of us heard a beautiful chorus of birdsong. It sounded too organized for it to simply be birds though. Following it’s, we found a butter yellow pegasus with a strawberry mane and a cutie mark of three butterflies for her cutie mark hovering in front of a small tree. A number of birds were perched on the tree, which was chirping a beautiful tune. Suddenly one of them began to sing out of tune.

"Oh my." the pegasus said in a demure voice, "Stop please everyone". She flew up to the out of tune bird, "Excuse me sir? I mean no offence, but your rhythm is just a teeny tint bit off." As she flew back to her previous position, she told them all, "Now, follow me please. A one. A two. A one, two, three..."

"Hello!" Twilight suddenly interrupted, causing the pegasus to gasp and her birds to scatter into the air. I as always had to smack myself on the head for Twilight’s utter greeting.

"Oh my, I'm so sorry." She apologized, "I didn't mean to frighten your birds. I'm just here to check on the music and it sounded beautiful."

The pegasus landed on the ground in front of us, but didn't make any attempts at conversation, she just stood there staring at the ground, causing Twilight to start grinning nervously.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight introduced herself, but the pegasus still didn't reply, "What's your name?"

"Um... I'm..." the pegasus whispered. I couldn't hear what she said her name was, she was so quite.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" Twilight asked, clearly not hearing her.

"Um... my name is..." the pegasus mumbled again, even less audible than before.

"Didn't quite catch that." Twilight still couldn't hear her.

This time, the pegasus just whimpered fearfully, hiding her face behind her mane.

“Let me try it for you,” I went over to the shy pegasus and whispered, “Hello there, my name is Jonathan and this is my dragon Elusive and my best friend Brianna, what’s your?”

“Fluttershy,’ she said in a timid voice.

“Fluttershy, what a lovely name, it fits you perfect,” she started to blush after my comment on her.

“The singing of the birds are very lovely too keep up with the good work for the celebration,” her cheeks grew a darker red.

"Well," Twilight cut in, "it looks like  your birds are back, so I guess everything's in order. Keep up the good work!" Fluttershy's only response was another whimper; she may have been okay with me, but it seemed that she still needed to get used to Twilight, "Ooookay." Twilight said awkwardly and began trotting off back to Spike.

“Well see you at the celebration,” I smiled at her and she smiled. “Let’s go Bri,”

“Okay,” Bri responded and we both with my dragon trotted over to the bus h with Twilight.

"Well, that was quick." Twilight said as Spike walked up to her.

"A baby dragon!" Fluttershy suddenly exclaimed, rushing forward in front of Spike and sending Twilight flying. "I've never seen a baby dragon before! He's so cute!"

“Hold up here why am I not acknowledged, am I not that cute,” Elusive said in a sad tone. I ultimately slapped Elusive’s forehead.

"Well, well, well!" Spike said cheekily at Twilight, folding his arms to give him a sense of importance.

"Oh my," Fluttershy said, "he talks! I didn't know dragons could talk! That's just so incredibly wonderful, I just don't even know what to say!" She began hovering in the air in delight.

Suddenly, Spike suddenly floated above her and onto her Twilight's lap. "Well, in that case we'd better be going!" she said, obviously wanting to get away as soon as possible.

"Wait! Wait!" Fluttershy began following us closely, "What's his name?"

"I'm Spike!" Spike replied.

"Hi Spike, I'm Fluttershy. Wow, a talking dragon. And what do dragons talk about?"

"What do you want to know?"

"Everything."

Upon hearing this Twilight could only groan.

"Well," Spike began, "I started out as a cute little purple and green egg..."

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

By the time we arrived at the library, the sun was beginning to set, and Spike was still telling Fluttershy his life story to every last detail.

"And that's the story of my whole entire life!" Spike concluded, "Well, up until today!”

“Hey Fluttershy, wanna hear about hear about me,” Elusive said.

“No thanks,” Fluttershy said, which made him jealous and angry too.

“Well, do you want to hear about today?" Spike continued.

"Oh, yes please!" Fluttershy said sweetly. Suddenly, Twilight zoomed around to face her.

"I'm so sorry," she said, "how did we get here so fast? This is where I'm staying while in Ponyville, and my poor baby dragon needs his sleep!"

"No I don't!" Spike protested, but Twilight just kicked off her back sending him to the ground. Wow, that was a bit harsh.

"Aw, wook at that!" Twilight baby talked at him, "He's so sweepy he can't even keep his widdle bawance!"

"Poor thing." Fluttershy said, suddenly scooping Spike up into her hooves, "You simply must put him to bed!". She opened the door to the library and flew inside. Twilight suddenly dashed inside after her, pushing Fluttershy out of the door.

"Yes, yes." she said, "We'll get right on that. Well goodnight!". Brianna, Elusive, and I walked inside the library and Twilight slammed the door shut, leaving Fluttershy outside.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Huh," Spike grunted, "rude much?"

"Sorry Spike," Twilight apologized, "but I have to convince the Princess that Nightmare Moon is coming and we're running out of time! I just

need to be alone so I can study without a bunch of crazy ponies trying to make friends all the time! Now where's the light?"

“Um what is she stalking about?” Brianna said confused.

I stated that I don’t really know what she’s talking about too.

As if on cue, the light suddenly switched on, "SURPRISE!" yelled an enormous crowd of ponies that surrounded the three of us. The resulting shock nearly gave me a heart attack!

"Surprise!" a pink mare yelled out in front of us. Why did she look so familiar? Suddenly, it clicked in my mind. She was the strange one we ran into when we first landed in Ponyville!

"I'm Pinkie Pie and that over there is Sandra and we threw this party just for you three! Were you surprised? Were ya? Were ya? Huh-huh-huh?"

"Very surprised!" Twilight exclaimed.

“Sandra?” Brianna and I said in unison.

“Jonathan, Brianna, is that you?” She ran over to the two of us and we started hugging each other. Again, we the twinkling stars in our

cutiemark started glowing and this time it’s even brighter than before, well because it was just me and Brianna, but now it was with all three of us together and again we were floating. We had to stop before ponies started looking at us. However, it was too late because everyone was staring at us, even the five ponies we met stared at us.

“How could you do that darlings,” Rarity asked in shock.

“Yeah how,” Fluttershy asked too.

We stopped the hugging and we just shrugged it out because we don’t know.

"Well, libraries are supposed to be quiet!" Twilight continued.

"Oh that's silly!" Pinkie declared, "What kind of welcome party would this be if it were quiet? I mean, duh, bo-ring. You see, I saw you when you first got here, remember? You were all, hello, and I was all," she gasped dramatically, "remember? You see I never saw you before, and if I never saw you before that means you're new, 'cause I know every pony, and I mean every pony in Ponyville, and if you're new, then it meant you haven't met anyone yet," she continued to blabber on as Twilight began pouring herself a drink, "and if you haven't met anyone yet, you must not have any friends, and if you don't have any friends then you must be lonely, and that made me so sad, and I had an idea, and that's why I went," she gasped dramatically again, "'I'll just throw a great big ginormous super-duper spectacular welcome party and invite everyone in Ponyville'. See? And now you have lots and lots of friends!" As she said all this, Twilight began drinking her drink and Pinkie was surrounded by the five other mares Twilight and I had met today.

Twilight eyes widened, and she turned around to face us. Her cheeks were burning red, and her eyes were watering. "Are you alright sugercube?" AJ asked with concern. Steam suddenly came out of Twilights ears, her mane caught fire, and she suddenly rushed up the stairs.

"Aw," Pinkie cooed, "she's so happy she's crying!" as Twilight ran up the stairs, I glanced at the bottle Twilight had poured her drink from.

"Hot sauce." I read from the label. Suddenly, Pinkie grabbed the bottle with her hooves and poured the contents onto a cupcake, which she proceeded to eat.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It had been quite a while since the party went underway, and to be honest, I wasn't enjoying it one bit. I hated parties. They were too loud, too many things went on at once, and the party host was as annoying as hell in this particular case! It was official, I didn't like Pinkie. She was annoying, naive, and extremely simple minded. That's why me, Brianna, and Sandra decided to ditch the party and go upstairs to check on Twilight.

I knocked on the door politely, "What is it?" I heard Twilight's irritated voice ask. I opened the door and found her lying on her bed.

"Hey," I said softly, "you okay?"

"No!" she snapped back at me.

“Why?” Sandra asked.

"Because all the ponies in this town are CRAZY! Do you know what time it is?!"

"Apparently, we're all trying to stay up till midnight so we can see the Princess raise the sun." I answered. To be honest, the idea that she could raise the Sun made no sense to me. Like any other human, I was taught about how the Earth spun on its axis and all that, you know what I mean. I really wanted to ask how this worked, but I didn't think Twilight was in the mood to answer. Besides, she probably wouldn't know anyway.

Twilight lay on her back, "Here I thought I'd have time to learn more about the Elements of Harmony, but silly me! All this ridiculous friend making has kept me from it!" she said sarcastically, turning around to face the window.

"I do, well we do have a question, what are the ‘Elements of Harmony’?" I asked her while gesturing to my friends.

"Oh they're nothing major," she said, her voice still coated with sarcasm, "just the very things needed to stop Equestria from eternal night!"

“Please,” me Brianna, and Sandra said in unison.

“Fine,” Twilight sighed and began telling the story.

Brianna, Sandra, and I were sitting in Twilight’s bed getting ready to hear the story about the “Elements of Harmony”.

"1000 years ago, Equestria was ruled two regal sisters who brought peace and harmony to all the land." Twilight said, snapping me out of my train of thought. "The eldest would raised the sun and bring forth the day, while the younger sister raised the moon and ushered in the night. Thus, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects. But as time went on, the younger sister grew resentful. While ponies relished and played through the day her elder sister brought forth, they shunned and slept through her beautiful night.". Okay, I could see where this was going, "Then one fateful day, the younger sister refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn. The elder sister tried to reason with her, but the bitterness in the young ones heart had transformed her into a wicked mare of darkness: Nightmare Moon! She vowed to shroud the land in eternal night. Reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic know to ponydom: The Elements of Harmony! Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony, she defeated her younger sister and banished her permanently in the moon. However, in case Nightmare Moon returned on the 1000th year, she created three newly elements that would help the enemy reform themselves. The elder sister took on responsibility, for both sun and moon, and harmony has been maintained in Equestria for generations since."

“Wow,” Sandra said.

“I can’t believe what I just heard,” Brianna said.

“Same, but wait, there are NINE elements now because I thought there were six elements only.” I asked

“I thought so too, but the two of the three elements are in existence but that one element is known of Equestria,” Twilight answer.

I was wondering who the other three element barriers belong to. So I had to ask if she was coming back again and she said yes and warned us about the villain so much.

“So what should we do,” Sandra asked.

But until Twilight or me answered her question, Spike and Elusive barged on in saying…

"Come on, you guys!" a voice cried out, snapping us from asking the question. Looking over to its source, I saw Spike and Elusive standing through the door. "It's time to watch the sun rise!" Elusive said.

“Come on you guys lets get ready to celebrate,” I said.

“Alright,’ Sandra excitedly jumped off the bed.

“Wait for me,” Brianna ran to Sandra, but Twilight was just looking at the moon and I was right next to her and looked at the moon in shock of how beautiful it looks. “Come on Twilight let’s go,” I said.

“Okay,” she said. We walked off to town hall for the Summer Sun Celebration. Twilight was still worried and thought that the Princess is right and it’s a mare’s tale. Me and best friends were also worried too about the Nightmare Moon and if she is real or not.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Everypony was gathered in the town hall. They all seemed excited, but to be honest, I was on the edge. Standing next to me, Sandra, and Elusive was Twilight, who had Spike mounted on her back and on the other side of Twilight was Brianna. She was over there because we consider Twilight as our best friends now. The thought of the return of Nightmare Moon really had me on the edge. Wow, is it hot in here?

"Isn't this exciting?" an energetic voice asked out of nowhere. Pinkie Pie had suddenly appeared next to Twilight and was speaking mile a minute. "Are you excited? Because I'm excited! I've never been so excited! Well, except for the time that I saw you walking into town and I went" she gasped dramatically for the third time today, "But I mean really, who can top that?"

“Yeah it was awesome,” Sandra stated.

Brianna had to quiet both Sandra and Pinkie, “Shhhhh, the celebration is about to start.”

The sound of conducted bird song filled the hall. I looked up and saw Fluttershy conducting her birds to sing. A spotlight shone down over a middle aged mare with a grey mane wearing a pair of glasses with a golden rim.

"Fillies and Gentlecolts," she annouced, "as the Mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration!"

Everypony in the room cheered in delight. If only they knew...

"In just a few moments," the mayor continued, "our town will witness the magic of the sunrise, and celebrate this, the longest day of the year! And now, it is my great honour to introduce to you the ruler of our land; the very pony who gives the moon each and every day, to good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria: Princess Celestia!"

With those words, the curtains on the top balcony opened up to reveal... nothing. Everypony started chattering in confusion at this unperceived event.

"This can't be good." Twilight said. I couldn't help but agree with her, something was definitely up.

"Remain calm everypony," the mayor declared, yet her voice seemed to falter, "there must be a reasonable explanation..."

"Ooh! Ooh!" Pinkie interrupted, "I love guessing games! Is she hiding?"

Rarity walked up onto the balcony. She must have been the one to open the curtians.

"She's gone!" She exclaimed. Everypony in the room gasped in horror.

"Ooh, she's good!" Pinkie said. She looked up the balcony, and suddenly screamed in shock. Looking up I saw a black starry mist begin to form

out of nowhere.

"Oh no!" Twilight whispered. The mist suddenly departed, revealing the most menacing looking pony I had ever seen.

"Nightmare Moon!" Twilight exclaimed as Spike fainted, fell off her lap, and Elusive catches him.

“Thanks,” Spike thanked. “You’re welcome,” Elusive welcomed him.

Me, Brianna, and Sandra were nervous and started looking at each other in a nervous face.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Nightmare Moon had a jet black coat, her eyes were completely blue and her pupils were cat like slits. She wore a set of blue armour around her body, and her mane was the same as the starry blue mist she appeared from. Heck was it even her mane? What really caught my attention was the fact that she had both wings and a horn, which I hadn't seen on any other pony I'd seen. Overall, she was a truly intimidating figure to behold.

"Ah, my beloved subjects!" she declared, looking down on the ponies below her, "It's been so long since I've seen your precious little sun loving faces!"

"What did you do to our Princess!?" I heard Rainbow Dash demand. She took flight, but was stopped by AJ holding on to her by the tail... with her mouth for that matter.

"Whoa there nelly!" she said as she struggled against Rainbow, who was trying to free herself from AJ's grip.

Nightmare Moon just chuckled darkly, "Why? Am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am?" she demanded.

"Ooh! ooh! More guessing games!" Pinkie cried out, "Uh... Hokey Smokes! How about... Queen Meanie! No... Black Snooty! Black Snooty...!". Before she could continue endangering her chances of survival, AJ quickly shoved an apple in her mouth. That girl was never going to see the big picture was she?

"Does my crown no longer count now that I've been imprisoned for 1000 years" Nightmare Moon demanded at Flutterhsy, causing her birds to scatter. "Did you not recall the legend?" She turned to Rarity, "Did you not see the signs?"

"I did!" Twilight shouted boldly, "And I know who you are! You're the Mare in the Moon, Nightmare Moon!" Everypony gasped in horror at the revelation.

"Well, well, well." Nightmare Moon said, a hint of amusement evident in her voice, "Somepony who remembers me! And what's this?" she asked, turning her gaze directly at me, "Three humans and a dog!"

We froze in shock, maybe even horror. She knew what I really was?! But how?! It's impossible! This couldn't be right!

"I know what you are! Even in the body of a pony, I can easily see that you are not what you appear to be!"

“And so do I,” Twilight stated, “He’s been telling the truth not me, but everyone in Ponyville.”

“That’s right,” AJ stated

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

"Let me ask you, the both of you." Nightmare Moon said, now sharing her gaze with Twilight, "Do you know why I am here?"

"You're here too... too..." Twilight faltered, too scared to finish her sentence

"Remember this day little ponies," Nightmare Moon chuckled, "for it was your last. From this moment forth, the night... will last... forever!"

With those words, she laughed. Twilight, Brianna, Sandra, and I could only stand in horror at the terrifying marvel. I knew we had to stop her, but how...?

To be continued...
