Friendship. The thing that brings together ponies in harmony and unison. But where does harmony come from? There are two answers. The first one is the inside of our souls. That's incorrect, for everyone has flaws and imperfections, even Princess Celestia, believe me, I know. So harmony can be produced inside our souls, it comes from somewhere else. Another answer, would be from the Elements of Harmony and its bearers. That's a possible answer I could ponder about. But essentially, it's incorrect as well, since what are the Elements of Harmony if they themselves are no longer friends? But then again, the one beacon of light and hope is Equestria was from them. But emphasis on the word was. So right now, I would answer no, and that harmony doesn't come from them either.

One could comment, 'This fellow acts like they know everything' Truth be told, I sort of do know everything, I was practically part of the Elements, very close to each of them. Their unique personalities brought them together, and their love for one another is what made them stay. But- ponies have, emotions, don't they? Happiness, fear, sadness, and anger is one of them. Bitterness, misery, rage. All emotions, though one we tend to hide more than usual. But what am I doing? I'm supposed to be telling you all the whole scene that happened with them, not blabber on about friendship and harmony. So let us begin the story, two years ago...

Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle and I all gathered around the map of friendship. Not another summoning, just a casual get together. A group of friends, no matter how important or elite, should hang out and have fun with each other, right? Twilight coughed, grabbing everyone's attention.

"As you all know, today the map hasn't called us, but I thought we should do something together, you know, aside from saving the world" giggled Twilight. A cyan pegasus let out a groan from across.

"Really Twi? You called us from this?" asked Rainbow, rolling her eyes, "I was in the middle of a nap!"

"Well excuse me for trying to plan something nice for her friends" said Twilight sarcastically, glaring at Rainbow.

Applejack raised a hoof, "Come on now girls, let's all calm down. Ah think what Twilight suggested would be fun"

"Here come Applejack playing second fiddle to Twilight once again" muttered a voice from opposite the table. Applejack shot a glare at the white unicorn.

"Ah don't play 'second fiddle' to anyone!" cried Applejack, getting up.

Rarity waved a hoof dismissively, chuckling at the farm pony, "Come now Darling, we all know you're a simple sidekick. I must say it won't get you more money for that poor farm of yours"

Applejack lit up with rage, face turning bright red, "My farm ain't poor! And I'm not a simple sidekick!"

"I wouldn't say you're refined sidekick" laughed Pinkie, rolling around in hysterics, "Get it? Cause she aid she wasn't a 'simple' sidekick, so I said she wasn't a refined one either!"

"I don't think its a good time for a joke Pinkie" piped Fluttershy, barely making a noise through the bickering of Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Applejack and Rarity.

"All you're good at is taming stupid animals, and you've started too act like those wild creatures well. Come back and get a life honey" yelled Rainbow Dash, as the other continued screaming at each other. I vividly remember Fluttershy's look a uncertainty change to disapproval, to anger, and then pure rage.

"HOW DARE YOU!" screamed Fluttershy, jumping out of her throne, and charging towards Rainbow. I stood in between the chaos, watching my friends getting extremely violent and rude with each other. I don't know much, but I do know when mares get like this, its best to keep your distance. Fortunately, everyone left quickly, each muttering an insult before they left. That night, Twilight couldn't get any sleep, tossing and turning in bed. After around three hours of sleep, and opened my eyes to see Twilight in the library pacing around in anxiety.

"What's wrong Twilight?" I asked, rubbing my eye sleepily. Twilight stopped pacing, and sighed, exhausted.

"I have to fix this" she said, flying out of the castle. I vaguely remember us making trips to each of the Element's houses, only to find a different letter pinned on each house. 'If this is one of the Elements, I don't want to see ya'll, you insulted my family and me, and Ah can't keep doin' this' It said outside the barn house. Twilight reached to Rarity's boutique, 'To the Elements; Darlings, as much as I'd love to support loosers, you all are a bit to low for my standards. I'm a famous designer, managing three boutiques, and I have a life, unlike all of you'

Twilight's eyes narrowed after reading an extremely rude and hurtful note from Rainbow Dash (I won't say what it said, it was really inappropriate, and Pinkie didn't have a note in front of her house, the Cakes said she'd rather not talk to them or she'd say too much) Twilight was too upset to go to Fluttershy's place, and flew back to her castle. Sighing heavily, she pushed open the large castle doors, and I trailed behind.

"Go and make some dinner Spike" ordered Twilight, as I ran off into the kitchen, eager to avoid Twilight's wrath. I quickly whipped up my famous nachos, and ran towards Twilight's room to find her sobbing quickly into her arms.

"When did it go wrong Spike?" asked Twilight, looking up. I remained silent. What was going on? Our friends were so close, and we can't seem to get over a simple argument. My mind waved over to a thought, but shaking my head vigorously, I got rid of the idea. Maybe, just maybe, our friendship wasn't meant to be?

"Twilight?" I heard a high quiet voice, and went to the door. Twilight got up, mumbling about, 'teaching a lesson to them' Closing her eyes, she opened the door, bracing for impact.

Fluttershy was at the door, poking her hoof at the ground, "Uh, Twilight, I wanted to apologise for-"

Before Fluttershy could continue, Twilight kept her eyes closed and started yelling, "CAN YOU JUST GO AWAY! I HATE YOU!"

Twilight gently opened her eyes to see a pale yellow pegaus with tears streaming down her face. Fluttershy blinked back her tears, face growing firm, "I came here to say sorry, even after I was hurt by our friends' letters, and I hope you'd atleast not hurt me. But I guess I was wrong"

Twilight bit her lip nervously, "Look, Fluttershy-"

"Just- spare it" growled Fluttershy. She trotted off, and Twilight broke down, crying as I patted her. And that's when it all went wrong. That friendship was never mended again, they just- couldn't seem to rekindle their friendship. One comment to another, an insult to another, someone had to say something wrong setting off the others.

And that was the end.

Author's Note

Something I wrote a while ago, but I wanted to finish off 'Optimist, Pessimist, and Over-Protective' and not start pressure to finish off these chapters, so I left it for a while. Hope you enjoy, I have almost all the chapters up and ready to go soon!
