Canterlot High School

CHAPTER 7

Saturday night, Taichi waits nearby the Canterlot Cinema, wearing his formal clothes.

“We’re here Tai. Now what?”

Taichi looks at Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash that walk towards him, wearing a dress. Taichi smiles.

“You look lovely, girls,” said Taichi, earning a blush from both Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash.

He takes both Rainbow and Twilight as three of them walk towards the cinema.

“Tickets please,” asked the conductor.

Taichi gives the tickets to the conductor. The conductor shocks.

“This way please,” said the conductor as he guides them towards the main hall.

As they approach the main table, Twilight and Rainbow gasp in shock, seeing A.K. Yearling stands up and walks towards them.

“Thanks for coming,” said A.K. Yearling.

“Wouldn’t miss it. This is my friends that I’m talking about. Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle,” said Taichi.

“Nice to meet both of you,” said A.K. Yearling, shaking their hands.

“I think they’re speechless since you’re their idol,” said Taichi.

A.K. Yearling giggles.

“Come, have a seat,” said A.K. Yearling.

Back to the hostel, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Sunset Shimmer sit in front of Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scoolatoo.

“I may not convince him but maybe he is considering about it right now,” said Sweetie Belle.

Rarity puts her hand on her sister’s shoulder.

“You have done your part. Now it is our turn,” said Rarity.

“Oh I am so nervouscited,” said Pinkie.

At the Canterlot Cinema, as the events come to an end; A.K. Yearling escorts Taichi, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle towards the door.

“Thank you for coming,” said A.K. Yearling.

“Anything for a friend,” said Taichi with a smile.

Rainbow Dash sighs.

“I wish I bring a camera and the book,” said Rainbow.

Taichi smirks, pulls out 2 new Daring Do’s book and a digital camera from his bag.

“Way ahead of you, Rainbow,” said Taichi.

“That’s what I like about you, Taichi. Always think of everything,” said A.K. Yearling.

“Picture time,” said Rainbow.

Back to the hostel, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Rarity look at new arrival Twilight and Rainbow.

“So, where did he bring you?” asked Applejack.

“Daring Do’s movie premier,” said Twilight.

“I can’t believe it. Not just we sit in the same table as Daring Do, we have her autograph on the newest book and also get a selfie with her,” said Rainbow.

“Where is the picture?” asked Rarity.

“He’s giving to us tomorrow since we have weekly meeting with him,” said Twilight.

Pinkie Pie beams a smile.

“I’ll need to prepare for it,” said Pinkie as she rushes out.

Taichi walks towards his dorm as he sees Sunset Shimmer leans against the door.

“What do you want?” asked Taichi.

Sunset Shimmer looks at him.

“We need to talk,” said Sunset.

He opens the door.

“Oh really? What would be a she demon like you want from me?” asked Taichi.

Sunset Shimmer sighs.

“Why you think that I am evil?” asked Sunset.

“That’s for me to know and for you to find out,” said Taichi as he closes the door.

Sunset Shimmer sighs as she leans against the wall.

Taichi sits on his chair as he hooks up his digital camera on his laptop. As he uploads all the picture inside the camera, he smiles at the bearer of magic and the bearer of loyalty pose on their favourite book author.

“Good thing I learn about them when the show starts,” said Taichi.

Suddenly he sees 4 pictures with his room. He clicks to enlarge it. He shocks to see pictures of CMC naked.

“Applebloom! Sweetie Belle! Scoolatoo!” yelled Taichi.

At their room. Applebloom giggles. Sweetie Belle sighs.

“My sis will ground me when she finds out about that,” said Sweetie Belle.

“My sis will do the same but at least he knows that we trust him,” said Applebloom.

The next day, Pinkie Pie walks out from the hostel and walks happily towards the town

Meanwhile, Applejack, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash sit on the bench, eating ice cream.

“I wonder what Pinkie is planning for tonight,” said Fluttershy.

“Knowing her, she’ll make something exciting for us and him,” said Rainbow.

Applejack sees Taichi walks slowly towards the small forest.

“I wonder where he is going,” said Applejack as Fluttershy and Rainbow look at where Applejack is looking.

“Let’s follow him,” said Rainbow.

Applejack nods.

“I don’t know, Rainbow. That place looks scary,” said Fluttershy.

“Come on, Fluttershy,” said Rainbow, pulling Fluttershy’s hand.

Taichi stops at the middle of the forest. He puts a box down.

“Time to start the training,” said Taichi as he pushes the green button.

The box scans the surrounding. He pulls out his wooden sword. The shadow of a warrior appears in front of him.

“Begin,” said Taichi.

Applejack, Fluttershy and Rainbow look in awe as Taichi fights the shadow warrior.

“I never really want to be on his bad side,” said Rainbow.

“Don’t worry, we just make him stay on his embarrassed side,” said Applejack as Fluttershy giggles.

Taichi spins his body and slashes his sword as the shadow’s chest as it roars and disappears. Taichi lands on his feet.

“Your sword skills are commendable.”

Taichi looks at another shadow that appears near him.

“Yo, Starswirl,” said Taichi.

“You always talk like that to your mentor?” asked Starswirl.

“Nope. Just you,” said Taichi.

Starswirl sighs.

“You sword skills maybe great but your social skills need some learning,” said Starswirl.

“I don’t need much on social skills,” said Taichi.

“But your act of bringing the bearer of Magic and bearer of Loyalty to see their idol is commendable,” said Starswirl.

“Just giving them a favor,” said Taichi as he picks up a bottle and drink.

“Atleast you open up to friendships,” said Starswirl.

“No. I help them doesn’t mean I want to be friends with them. Like I said, friendship is only a burden and useless,” said Taichi as he puts the bottle down.

Back to Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy,

“Bearer of Magic? Bearer of Loyalty?” asked Rainbow.

“There is something that we don’t know about him,” said Fluttershy.

“Looks like we and him will have a big chat tonight,” said Rainbow.

Starswirl looks at Taichi that drinks cold water from his bottle.

“Remember, you mustn’t let the enemy know about the bearer of Harmony and also get the elements or this world is doom,” said Starswirl.

“I will protect them from danger and make sure they don’t know about who they really are,” said Taichi.

“You’re worried about them?” asked Starswirl.

“No. I just don’t want them interfere with my battle against any enemy,” said Taichi.

Starswirl sighs.

“Then, you have to tell them about the elements,” said Starswirl.

“No. It’s too dangerous for them. They don’t need to know about this,” said Taichi.

“They have to, Taichi. The last time you fail is because you didn’t rely on others to help you. Remember, only the bearer can activate their Elements,” said Starswirl.

Taichi sighs. Back to Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Fluttershy,

“Bearer of Harmony? Elements? What are they talking about?” asked Rainbow.

“We’ll get our answers later at our sleepover,” said Applejack.

“You think he will come? You think he will tell us about it?” asked Fluttershy.

“He has to. If this place is in trouble like the one we have with past Sunset Shimmer and the Dazzling, he needs our help,” said Applejack.

Taichi walks towards his room as he sees VP Luna stands at the door.

“Is there something wrong, Vice Principal Luna?” asked Taichi.

“There is someone that wants to meet you. They already wait for you at the guest room,” said VP Luna.

“I’ll be there after I change my clothes and clean myself up,” said Taichi.

Principal Celestia looks at VP Luna that walks in.

“He will be down in a few minutes after cleaning himself up,” said VP Luna.

Principal Celestia looks at Fancy Pants and Fleur Dis Lee.

“I’m so sorry for making you wait this long,” said Principal Celestia.

“It’s okay. It’s our fault for coming unannounced,” said Fancy Pants.

Few minutes later, Taichi comes in.

“Sorry about that,” said Taichi.

Fleur Dis Lee looks at Taichi. She gasps. Taichi sits at the single sofa.

“Anything I can help you with, Mr Fancy Pants and Miss Fleur Dis Lee?” asked Taichi with a smile.

Fleur Dis Lee blushes.

“Well, we have incoming Fashion Week and we still didn’t get application from this school,” said Fancy Pants.

“Well, I’ll ask Rarity about it later,” said Taichi.

“I am sorry about it since I am a bit busy handling some customers.”

Taichi and the others look at Rarity that walks in. Rarity gives the form to Fancy Pants.

“This is the application form. Sorry for the late,” said Rarity.

“Oh Rarity, Taichi will help you on anything you need,” said VP Luna.

Rarity and Fleur Dis Lee look at Taichi that sighs. Meanwhile at the library, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle stand near the bookshelf as Twilight searches a book about the Elements.

“Do you think you know what Taichi is talking about?” asked Rainbow.

“Maybe. I’ve heard about Elements of Harmony before but I thought it just a myth about this place,” said Twilight.

“Where is Rarity?” asked Rainbow.

“She has a meeting with the principal and their guest,” said Twilight.

“I didn’t see Taichi either,” said Applejack.

“We’ll be hoping to work together in the future,” said Fancy Pants as he walks towards his car, followed by Fleur Dis Lee.

Suddenly, Fleur Dis Lee walks back towards Taichi and Rarity, slips a paper on his hand then walks back to the car. Taichi blinks for a few times as Rarity giggles. Back to the library,

“Found it,” said Twilight, pulls out a book from the shelf.

“Elements of Harmony, reference’s guide,” read Applejack.

“There are 6 elements of Harmony but only 5 were known. Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty and Loyalty. The sixth is a completely mystery. It is said that the last known location of the 5 elements is in an ancients ruins that is located what is now, the Everfree Forest,” read Twilight.

Applejack and Fluttershy gasp.

“The place where Tai train just now,” said Applejack.

“The forbidden forest,” said Rainbow.

“But back to the question, who can unlock the Elements and why it was created?” asked Twilight.

“Well, Tai did mention about bearer of the elements so maybe he knows about it,” said Fluttershy.

“Then, let’s find him,” said Twilight as Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Fluttershy nod.

Taichi leans against the chair as he looks at the laptop.

'Fashion Week? Is it worth helping them? Is it worth spending your energy and time to people that I know won't appreciate you no matter what you do?' think Taichi.
