This Is Not How I Expected My Week To Go

Well, that happened

High Winds and Wallflower galloped behind Sunset and Spitfire up the stairs with Watermelody closely behind her, following the bright flashing lights coming from the tower.

“Twilight!” Wallflower shouted and they all skidded to a stop, staring in stunned silence at Twilight staring at Nightmare Moon mere inches from the unicorn.

“Oh no!” Watermelody cried out and held a hoof to her head. “The evil mare has killed our friend!”

“Not helping!” Wallflower snapped and Watermelody shot her a look.

“What? I’m just hyping us a bit before we beat that mare up,” Watermelody scoffed and rolled a hoof. “You always gotta have a little bit of dialogue before a massive fight. Ya know, an epic speech and all about how right beats wrong and we refuse to surrender to this bi-”

Wallflower stuffed her hoof in the other mares mouth as Watermelody gagged slightly, before spitting out the hoof and glaring at Wallflower.

“Ew! Your hoof tastes like dirt! And mud! And grossness!”

Wallflower giggled slightly as Watermelody started wiping her tongue off with a hoof and gagged again.

“Are you two done yet?” Spitfire asked with a bored expression and jerked her head to Nightmare Moon. “I think we have bigger things to worry about than how Wallflowers hoof taste.”

“Oh. Right,” Wallflower giggled again and yawned before scowling angrily at the tall alicorn. “You harmed plants so now I get to harm you.”

“Wow. It almost sounded like thee meant that,” Nightmare Moon said with a smirk. “I already bested Celestia and destroyed them elements. What chance do thou stand?”

“Technically you just used a sleep spell on her,” High Winds interjected with a thoughtful frown and tapped a hoof against her chin. “I’m not entirely sure if that qualifies as you besting her but go off.”

“I did best Celestia damn it!” Nightmare Moon stomped a hoof hard enough to crack rock and one of her eyes twitched. “That mare stood no chance against the night. The night will last forever!”

“Can we quit talking and get to kicking her plot already?” Watermelody asked with a bored expression as she looked on and crouched slightly. “The dramas they are bound to produce about us needs an epic fight of good versus evil.”

“So be it,” Nightmare Moon rolled her eyes and shifted slightly on her hooves. “Death it is.”

Twilight glanced up at Wallflower shaking her and her eyes widened, jumping back at the magical laser that was shot at her.

“Thanks,” Twilight shot Wallflower a grateful look. “Seriously. I was so busy with the elements I could have died.”

“Can we save this for after?” High Winds snapped as she kicked Nightmare Moon in the jaw, watching in satisfaction as the taller mare tumbled to the ground. “I work out a lot. You’ll be feeling that in the morning.”

Twilight stared with wide eyes as Sunset sent a fireball at Nightmare Moon, sending her tumbling against the wall. Spitfire did a loop to narrowly avoid Nightmare Moon swiping at her before stomping a hoof down on the other pony’s wing, elicting a furious cry.

“Enough!” Nightmare Moon screamed, slamming a hoof on the ground once her head stopped spinning and everypony around Twilight went flying, her included and she groaned ontop of some rock shards. “I’m not going to be bested by six insignificant lowlifes! Not even Celestia could beat me!”

“It’s been nice knowing you all,” Twilight gulped at the furious looking alicorn glaring down at them. “Nopony I’d rather die with than you all.”

“Agreed,” High Winds licked her lips nervously and closed her eyes. “I’m sorry I broke your door that one time Spitfire. I fell into it.”

“That was you?” Spitfire shouted and whapped High Winds with a wing followed with a furious glare. “I thought it was me after I tried walking home drunk that one time!”

“Hey you remember that stuffed doll you loved as a filly?” Sunset asked suddenly and Spitfire gave her a confused look. “I buried it in the sand on vacation that one time as a filly because you pissed me off one day and broke my wagon.”

“You stole Sir Stuffy?” Spitfire fell on her haunches with a frown. “I always did wonder what happened to him.”

“Sorry.”

“Ow!” Nightmare Moon screamed as Wallflower slammed her stick against her kneecap. “Stop hitting me!”

“You hurt nature!” Wallflower screamed back and smacked her again on the side. “I speak for the plants and they’re pissed!”

Twilight and the others sat up in shock, watching Wallflower continue to hit Nightmare Moon with a furious expression as Twilight forced herself to swallow.

“For a pony that values kindness, she’s surprisingly violent,” Watermelody whispered with wide eyes.

“Easy girl!” Spitfire caught Wallflowers foreleg, the stick falling to the ground. “I think you got her.”

“I have weird friends,” Twilight said to herself and her eyes slightly widened as she examined the mares around her. She never considered anypony a friend before.

Twilight watched with wide eyes as Spitfire glowed a bright orange with some of the shattered rocks flying around her neck and making a necklace that resembled her cutie mark.

“I’m so sorry,” Wallflower mumbled and sat down next to a groaning and bruised Nightmare Moon. “Are you okay?”

“I don’t need the elements because they’re right here,” Twilight gestured around her and Nightmare Moon weakly looked at her. “Spitfire represents the Element of Honesty. Believe me, she’s brutally honest. I found out that the hard way.”

“Ugghhhh.”

“Wallflower represents the Element of Kindness. The entire way here, she forced us to stop just so she could heal sick plant life and just offered to help you after beating you,” Twilight continued as Wallflower glowed a green color, the mare pressing a hoof against her own necklace in the shape of a potted plant curiously.

“Pretty,” Wallflower whispered. She never really got into jewelry much but she always did have a fond appreciation for them. Mainly plant shaped ones.

“Watermelody represents the Element of Loyalty,” Watermelody gave Twilight a confused look as she glowed white. “She took a shot for Celestia when she could have easily sat by and did nothing. And Sunset represents Laughter. The entire time I’ve known her, she’s always been cracking random jokes that are more often than not dirty to lighten moods.”

Sunset wore a slightly smug grin as she glowed a fiery red before brushing a hoof against her cutie mark shaped necklace.

“And High Winds represents generosity when she offered to help Wallflower rebuild her garden.”

“After you destroyed it,” Wallflower grumbled under her breath and lifted Nightmare Moons wing with a grunt.

“But thee still don’t have the last one,” Nightmare Moon pointed out smugly and smacked Wallflower aside as the mare gave a startled cry, falling into Watermelodys waiting hooves. “I know all about the elements. They can’t work unless are present. You’ve still failed Equestria and your dear princess.”

“I don’t know a lot about friendship but I do know books. And all the books I’ve read at the library tonight said a spark is needed to activate the sixth element. You see, Nightmare Moon, when those Elements are ignited by the spark, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth element, the element of magic,” Twilight answered and glowed a bright lavender before her eyes flicked to the crown on her head. She turned and faced the others with a small smile. “I felt it the very moment I realized how happy I was to hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you. The spark ignited inside me when I realized that you all are my friends.”

Twilight and the others levitated in front of the stunned alicorn, closing her eyes as a rainbow hit her and Twilight fell ontop of a confused looking High Winds.

“What just happened?” High Winds moaned with a wince and the pegasus rolled over slightly on her side, watching a dazed Spitfire and Watermelody rub their eyes. Twilight wet her lips before looking around, blinking a few times before answering.

“I-I’m not sure.”

Notable quotes:

"The fate of the world doesn't revolve around friends."

"Spike!"

"I don't even know where go begin or what to think about that Watermelody."

"I'm Twilight Sparkle, daughter of Nightlight and Twilight Velvet. Who are you?"

"A little while ago, my teacher and mentor Princess Celestia sent me to live in Amethyst Harbor. She sent me to study friendship, which is something I didn't really care much about. But now, on a day like today, I can honestly say I wouldn't be standing here if it weren't for the friendships I've made with all of you. Each one of you taught me something about friendship, and for that, I will always be grateful. Today, I consider myself the luckiest pony in Equestria. Thank you, friends."

"I'm an awful pony. I don't deserve friends after what I did to Sunset. She has every right to hate me."

"I'm so sorry Sunset. I never wanted to hurt you. I just want my friend back. P-please?"

"I love you Spike. You're a son to me and I'd give up my life for you if I had to."
