The Elementals

" And that's the story", Flare said. When Flare finished, he saw a look of wonder on Twilight.

" Wow, three elementals in the same city at the same time. No way is that a coincidence", Twilight said.

" Defiantly not", Flare said.

" So what happened after that", Twilight asked.

" Well after that, the three of us started hanging out. Eventually we became great friends, brothers more like. But unfortunately we all had to go our separate ways. I continued my training to become a Royal Guard, Thunder Jolt went off to compete in races, and Rocky I believe is still selling drinks at a bar. ", Flare said.

" Have you ever considered meeting up with them again", Twilight asked.

" It would be nice to, but during that time my life was full of training. I was lucky if I was even able to go get a lunch break, and even then it was a short break. And then there was the whole Ozore incident", Flare said. A sudden look of worry was on Twilight's face.

" Dear Celestia, I hope they're still alive after that", Twilight said.

" Don't worry Twilight, about a month ago, I actually got letters from them saying that they were doing great. That's actually how I found out what they've been up to", Flare said. Twilight gave a sigh of relief.

" Well, now would be a good time to for you three to make up for lost time", Twilight said.

" I guess you're right", Flare said. All of a sudden, the door to the library burst open. Flare and Twilight quickly turned to see who was it. It was Twilight's friends, Rarity, Apple Jack, Flutter shy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Spike.

" Twilight, you have to look at this", Spike said.

" What is it Spike", Twilight asked. Spike then handed Twilight a book. This book was vibrating and glowing a light purple aura. Twilight then started reading through the book, then a surprised look was on her face. " It looks like, a message to Princess Celestia from my friends at Canterlot High", Twilight said.

" How is that even possible", Rarity asked.

" I don't know, but it sounds like they need my help", Twilight said.

" Wait hold on, Canterlot what now", Flare asked.

" Oh it's this school in an alternate dimension, where pretty much everyone I know is there, but they look like hairless apes or something", Twilight said.

" That sounds so ridiculous that I actually believe it", Flare said.

" Ok girls let's head back to my castle, good luck with your friends Flare", Twilight said. And with that they were heading off. Flare then looked down at Spike.

" So Spike, are we still up for guys night with Big Macintosh", Flare asked.

" Sorry Flare I'll have to cancel, if we're going to head back to Canterlot High, I want to be with Twilight for that", Spike said.

" Oh, ok I understand, see you later", Flare said.

" Later", Spike said. And with that Spike ran to catch up with Twilight. Flare then sat back down at the table, and started thinking.

" Now, where do I find them", Flare asked himself. One week later, Flare found out that Thunder Jolt was competing in the Annual Pegasi race. The prize for first place was getting a position for the Wonder Bolts, so it was obvious that  Jolt was going to be there. On a Friday the race began, and Flare was right there in the VIP seats, probable because the ponies there knew him as the savior of Equestria. Flare then noticed that same blue pegasus with the lightning cutie mark. When the race began,  Jolt was well ahead of the competition. The crowds were roaring in delight as they saw the pegasi going at top speeds and making incredible tight turns. One of the racers was playing dirty during the whole race, he was slamming into the other racers, causing them to go off track and some even crashed. This pegasus managed to keep up with Thunder Jolt.

" Don't think I didn't notice what you were doing back there asshole" Jolt said.

" Sorry, but if anyone going to become a Wonder Bolt today, it going to be me. And I'm not going to let anyone get in my way", the pegasus said. The pegasus then rammed into  Jolt, causing him to crash. When  Jolt got back up, he saw that the pegasus was far ahead.

" So that's how were going to play things huh",  Jolt said.  Jolt then launched himself above the clouds, he did a back flip, and dived down. His body then started conducting electricity, then he became a lightning bolt, he moved so fast that he passed by the pegasus in a matter of seconds, leaving him in the dust.  Jolt won first place of the race, granting a position on the Wonder Bolts.  Jolt then was bombarded by news anchors and fans alike.  Jolt managed to squeeze out of that madness to get some air. Jolt then heard a familiar voice.

" Well if it isn't Thunder Jolt, now an official Wonder Bolt", Flare said. Jolt quickly turned to face Flare. And a wide grin went across his face.

" Well if isn't Fire Flare, now the hero of Equestria", Jolt said. The two laughed and gave each other a hug. " Come on, I know a nice diner we can go for lunch, my treat", Jolt said. At the diner the two were enjoying some hay fries and hay burgers while having a conversation. " So what is it exactly you do as Royal Guard", Jolt asked.

" I'm a combat instructor for new recruits, it's a stressful job sometimes, but I can handle it", Flare said. " What about you", Flare asked.

" You know me, racing is my life, I earn prize money, and I'm living the rich life, got a nice house and everything" Jolt said. The two continued to talk about their lives, surprisingly nothing about Ozore. Jolt then had a serious tone in his voice, " So why exactly did you come and see me", Jolt asked.

" I can't just come and hang out with my friend for the sake of it", Flare asked.

" Cut the shit, last time you wanted to quote on quote hang out, was when you wanted Rocky and I to help you fight Tirek. And let me tell you, getting the magic drained out of me is not a good feeling", Jolt said. Flare gave a sigh.

" Alright, truth be told I wanted to discuss something interesting with you, but I don't want to yet until we get Rocky as well", Flare said.

" Ok, do you know where Rocky is", Jolt asked.

" I was hoping you would know", Flare said.

" Last time I checked, he was in Appleoosa, still running his bar", Jolt said.

" Then we'll start there, but first I think we should get some rest. You don't mind if I spend the night at your house do you", Flare asked.

" Not at all", Jolt said.

" Alright, then tomorrow morning we'll look for Rocky", Flare said.
