S0 Ep.1) A Unicorn's and a Dragon's Beginning

A unicorn is seen galloping across the streets bumping and pushing any pony in her way. Many ponies either get annoyed or shrug it off assuming she was just another one of those weird ponies. The unicorn makes it to what is assumed her home. She opens the door and quickly closes it behind her as soon as she steps in.

"I'm here!" the unicorn says.

The head of a pink dragon pops out from one of the doorways. The dragon then runs up to the unicorn and hugs her hoof.

"Hey hey, take it easy!" the unicorn says chuckling as she pats the dragon's head.

"So... did you find any book of information about dragons?" the dragon asks.

"Sure did!" the unicorn says.

"Let's go read it!! I can't wait to see if there are any dragons like me!" the dragon says excitedly.

"I know, DemiSpike... I know." DemiTwi says walking off into the built-in library in their home.

DemiSpike follows behind DemiTwi excited to see if there are any other dragons like him. DemiTwi lays the book on the table and opens it.

"Dragons with extra horns... dragons with other types of fire..." DemiTwi continues reading through the book with DemiSpike.

After a bit of reading for any information that could help them, they are met with nothing as their results. DemiSpike has a small frown looking at the ground disappointed. DemiTwi wraps a hoof around DemiSpike and pulls him a bit closer to her.

"Hey, it's okay. Even if there are no other dragons with fur... you are still adorable and special." DemiTwi says attempting to comfort him.

DemiSpike then has a small smile on his face.

"I guess... I just don't know why I have fur..." DemiSpike says.

"Hehe, I don't know either, but it makes you adorable! I wouldn't have it any other way." DemiTwi says.

DemiTwi closes the book and sets it to the side.

"Hey, DemiTwi?" DemiSpike suddenly says.

"Hm? Yeah? What's up?" DemiTwi asks tilting her head a bit.

"When... are you going to try and make friends? Don't... you get lonely here?" DemiSpike asks.

DemiTwi looks at him a bit surprised.

"Hehe, silly. Friendship isn't really my thing. Friendship in my opinion is... well... not worth my time. Besides, I already have you as a company here and I have studying to help with my knowledge! That's it for me really." DemiTwi says.

"I guess..." DemiSpike says.

"Hey, I'll be going out to get some food for us. Do you wanna come with me?" DemiTwi says with a smile.

"No no... I'll be okay here..." DemiSpike says quickly.

DemiTwi nods and heads on over to the front door. She doesn't question DemiSpike's quick response because she already knows the reason. DemiSpike had always been insecure about his fur due to the fact he was the only dragon to ever have fur. DemiTwi then opens the door and exits. She makes her way to the Canterlot food market and quickly completes her current objective. As soon as she exits the food market she is encountered by a pony with a friendly smile.

"Heyy!" the random earth pony says.

DemiTwi looked at them with a blank expression and then forced a smile. DemiTwi, due to not wanting to socialize with other ponies and make friends, never had very good skills at communicating with other ponies. The only ever communication or socializing she did was with her family or the princess through her letters about her findings in research. The pony and DemiTwi both stand in front of each other awkwardly. The pony then suddenly breaks the silence after a good minute or two of standing in front of each other quietly.

"Do you wanna be friends?" the pony asks.

DemiTwi freezes at this question. She didn't wanna make friends. She didn't even know how to make friends. DemiTwi's mind suddenly goes blank now knowing what to say. She leaves the pony without a response for a minute until she finally thinks about what to say.

"Uhm... sorry but uh..."

The pony listens closely waiting to hear what DemiTwi had to say.

"I'm... uhm... I don't really know how to make friends... I also uh... uh... am really busy! Busy! I really need to get going... my uh... family must be waiting-"

"Oh, you don't know how to make friends? That's okay! I'll teach you how to make friends!" the pony says.

DemiTwi's forced smile then starts to falter a bit. Listening to the pony teach her how to make friends just makes her stressed even more. Before the pony can continue, DemiTwi's horn lights up. The pony stops and looks up at her horn.

"What are you doing?" the pony asks confused about DemiTwi's sudden use of magic.

DemiTwi then quickly teleports away from the pony. The pony's eyes close due to the flash of magic. She opened her eyes only to see that DemiTwi had disappeared right in front of her very eyes. The pony looks around only to see DemiTwi in the distance running off. The pony shrugs it off and trots away to make friends with another pony who possibly wants to be her friend as well.

DemiTwi gallops until she gets back to her home. She is then hit with a wave of relief escaping the conversation with the random earth pony and the possibility of hurting the pony's feelings with her not wanting to have friends. She opens the door and enters her home. She closes the door behind her and trots towards the room DemiSpike is in.

"Oh, DemiSpike! I have your favorite!" DemiTwi says with an exaggerated tone.

DemiSpike looks up at her and runs over.

"Here you go, bud." DemiTwi says handing DemiSpike his meal.

"Thank you, DemiTwi!!" DemiSpike says eating.

It isn't long before the sun sets, and the moon rises. DemiTwi sends DemiSpike to bed while she reads in the library. DemiTwi looks up at the window and to the moon. She then thinks to herself...

"What more do I need? Friends? Nope! All I need is right here... that is all I need."

Little did she know... an adventure is awaiting her.

S0 Ep.2) The Eyes of a Unicorn Open

Before beginning the story of our two friends, we must know more about them. It is only fair we start with our unicorn friend DemiTwi. DemiTwi, as you all know, is a unicorn who loves to study and gain more knowledge daily. DemiTwi usually loses a lot of sleep from this and can harm herself in the process. Now, our story goes back a bit. Back in the place we all know and love.

Canterlot.

A younger DemiTwi reads her book in her room. DemiTwi has always been a bit of a bookworm. She was never really interested in making friends, and friendship was never her priority. The only ponies she accepted as friends were her brother and mentor.

Today was another day in Canterlot where ponies who are more fashion and gentle related do their daily things. DemiTwi was spending her time reading until she heard laughing and crying from outside. DemiTwi calls out for her parents to check the noise outside but is met with no response. The young filly closes her book and decides to check outside through her window. She sees a small pink figure on the ground with two colts standing in front of it. DemiTwi immediately tries to listen in trying to hear what they are saying.

"Haha! He's crying!" one of the colts says.

"Crybaby! CRYBABY!!! Stupid pink fur!" the other colt says.

DemiTwi couldn't believe what she was hearing. She didn't know what to do but her heart told her to confront the bullies. DemiTwi got up from her bed and headed to the front door. Her heart was beating fast, but she knew it was the right thing to do. She opened the door and stepped outside. She trotted towards the colts and pink figure.

"HEY!! Leave them alone!" DemiTwi says.

The two colts looked over at DemiTwi and started laughing.

"Look! She's defending the ugly thing!!" one of the colts says.

"Hahah! What are you gonna do?" The other colt says.

DemiTwi is suddenly filled with anger. Her expression suddenly starts to show anger.

"Awh! The filly is getting mad? Hahaha!!!"

The two colts start to laugh in her face. DemiTwi then starts to glow her horn angrily.

It isn't long before DemiTwi's magic gets out of control and shoots at the two colts missing slightly. The colts look at DemiTwi shocked and run away in fear.

"RUN!! SHE'S CRAZY!!!" The colt says in fear running next to the other.

DemiTwi calms her magic down. She pants due to the amount of magic she has just used. She has never used her magic in that way. She had never had that much magic before either. She clears her head before heading to the small pink figure.

"Ahem... uhm... are you okay?" DemiTwi says softly.

The pink figure looked up to her teary-eyed.

"yes.." The pink figure said.

"Woah... you're a... a dragon! With... with fur... I have never seen anything like this before!" the filly said excitedly.

The pink dragon kept his head low in fear. DemiTwi noticed this and immediately calmed herself.

"Where are your parents?" DemiTwi asked.

"...they... I don't know... I-I just ended up here..." the dragon said.

DemiTwi's expression turns into one of sympathy. She pats the dragon's head trying to reassure she is not a threat.

"Come on... I'll take you with me till we find your parents alright?" DemiTwi said.

The ping dragon nodded. DemiTwi held the dragon with her magic and put him on her back. The action of using magic didn't even cross her mind despite never being able to use it due to her not knowing properly and not having a cutie mark to assist.

"What's your name?" DemiTwi asked, "I'm DemiTwi."

"I'm... DemiSpike."

The two made their way into the home where DemiTwi's parents had finally waken. The parents are shocked to see a dragon inside their house. A furry one at that.

Dawning Sparkle is the mother of DemiTwi while Darky Night is the father.

"DemiTwi?" Dawning Sparkle says, "Why did you-"

"His parents are nowhere to be found... he doesn't even know how he ended up here himself... he was being made fun of by other colts," DemiTwi explains.

"Oh, you poor thing... wow. A dragon with fur. That's new." Darky Night says.

"Now it'll be okay you cute furball. We'll take care of you till we find your parents. What's your name?" Dawning Sparkle asks.

"His name is DemiSpike." DemiTwi answers.

"Alright, DemiSpike. We will take good care of ya. He says patting DemiSpike's head.

The parents continue to try and comfort the dragon until Dawning Sparkle gasps.

"Honey, are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Dawning Sparkle asks.

"Yes... I am." Darky Night says looking at DemiTwi.

"What? Is there something on my face?" DemiTwi asks.

"Your... you got your cutie mark!" Dawning Sparkly says happily with a tear falling down her eye.

DemiTwi looks over at DemiSpike who points at her flank. DemiTwi looks to see a star where her flank is. She had gotten her cutie mark.

S0 Ep.3) The Eyes of a Dragon Open

Continuing the backstory for our two friends. We have DemiSpike. DemiSpike didn't have it as easy as DemiTwi. Anyways, let's continue.

DemiSpike hadn't always been in Canterlot with DemiTwi. He came from no other place than the Dragonlands! DemiSpike had a very tough time in the Dragonlands. For one, DemiSpike had never met his parents. When being hatched out from the egg he didn't see his parents. The other dragons had started taking care of him. Sadly, they were assholes to him.

DemiSpike at a slightly younger age walks through the Dragonlands trying to find his parents. He jumps through obstacles and runs through any threats trying to stop him. Suddenly, a dragon gets him as soon as he tries to make a jump.

"Watch it, freak! You could have harmed yourself. Well, maybe I should have let you get hurt." The dragon says in a harsh tone.

"Sorry... I-"

"You're trying to find your parents again, huh?" The dragon laughs in a harsh tone, "They left you for a reason. Just accept it you freak."

DemiSpike sighs and just lets the dragon carry him to wherever she is carrying to. The two suddenly make a landing. The dragon shoves DemiSpike aside.

"I don't know why us dragons couldn't have just let you go off on your own. We don't need an ugly pink furry girly-looking dragon like you. You can't even be considered a dragon!" the dragon says.

DemiSpike walks away sad. He always told himself that one day the other dragons might realize how mean they were and start being a bit nicer.

Sadly, that day never came. The dragons only got more rude and harsher with their insults. Sometimes, DemiSpike just couldn't take the insults and started crying when alone. DemiSpike had then planned to take it upon himself and escape from this torture.

On the day of his birthday. The insults only got worse. This had caused DemiSpike to make it the day he escaped.

DemiSpike after seeing no dragon around, started his escape. He runs through the fading familiar scenes of the Dragonlands. He hopes to never see the place or dragons ever again. He hopes one day he will find his parents.

DemiSpike had been running for an hour or two exhausted. DemiSpike is on the verge of passing out until he feels himself lifted from the ground and flying through the skies. He is too tired to see who has carried him.

"Heh. If you really wanted to leave you could have said so." the same dragon who had caught him earlier says.

DemiSpike closes his eyes accepting his fate. He suddenly feels himself falling through the sky. He looks up to see the dragon flying away. He looks down to see the ground coming closer and closer. He luckily lands in a fountain. He crawls out from the fountain in exhaustion and moves slowly against one of the buildings. He curls up into a ball and closes his eyes just wanting to disappear. He hears two pairs of hooves trotting towards him.

"Ew! What is that?!" one of the ponies says.

"It's so ugly!" the other says.

DemiSpike looks up teary-eyed tired from hearing insults and on the verge of giving up.

The insults go on for a good five minutes till a unicorn bursts out the doors and yells at the bullies to stop. Even almost shooting at them. The unicorn takes DemiSpike in after introducing herself.

"M-my name is DemiSpike..." DemiSpike says introducing himself to the unicorn's parents.

The group is suddenly in a group hug after introducing themselves to DemiSpike.

"Hehe... I've always wanted to learn about dragons." DemiTwi says.

This is how DemiTwi and DemiSpike met, and how the two have become close with each other.

LAZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

S1 Ep.1) The Beginning of an Adventure

DemiTwi reads a book in her library early in the morning. DemiTwi doesn't sleep much because she is very focused on her studies and improving her knowledge by any means possible. Sometimes she would experience consequences such as lacking in motivation or harming herself. Still, she continues this unhealthy habit. DemiTwi is suddenly startled by DemiSpike running into the room looking as if he's gagging. DemiTwi gallops towards him and starts to pat his back.

"Easy there," DemiTwi says with a knowing face.

DemiSpike suddenly what seems to look like burp out a scroll. DemiSpike gasps for air before calming down a bit. He gets the scroll and hands it to DemiTwi.

"Sorry... I'm still not used to burping out scrolls. It's such a weird feeling." DemiSpike says.

"Honestly, who would get used to that? It's weird in my opinion!" DemiTwi says grabbing the scroll and opening it.

My dearest most faithful student, I need you to report to the castle for a very important discussion. I ask for you to report right away as soon as you are available.

from your mentor, Princess Sunrise.

DemiTwi is slightly confused by this scroll but doesn't question it any further. She grabs her journal and starts heading to the front door.

"Hey! Uhm... where are you going?" DemiSpike asks.

"Princess Sunrise called me to a very important discussion. I promise I won't take long. I'm pretty sure it's nothing too bad." DemiTwi says.

DemiSpike nods and heads to one of the bookshelves to read. DemiTwi smiles softly and trots outside. She starts heading to the castle keeping a low profile. Ever since she was asked to be friends with somepony she hadn't exactly been hoping for another conversation. Especially if it was to be friends with somepony else. DemiTwi finds herself in the front castle doors. She takes a deep breath and makes her way into the castle. While trotting towards the destination she thinks to herself.

What will this discussion be about?

Have I done something wrong?

What is she gonna tell me?

DemiTwi arrives at the doors of the throne room. She takes another deep breath and opens the doors to find Princess Sunrise on her throne signing scrolls.

"Uhm... Princess Sunrise? You called me?" DemiTwi asks shyly slowly starting to trot into the room.

Princess Sunrise looks up at DemiTwi and sets aside her scrolls and quill. She fixes her posture and fixes her eyes on DemiTwi once more.

"DemiTwi, my faithful student, I have been meaning to have a word with you." Princess Sunrise says.

DemiTwi takes on a more serious expression and makes sure to show she is listening. She nods to signal Princess Sunrise to continue speaking.

"I have seen your studies, and I am very impressed to see such a very educated and talented unicorn in magic. I haven't had such a hard-working student as you in forever." Princess Sunrise says.

DemiTwi smiles at the praise she is getting. Though she is slightly confused. Why had she called her here just to praise her when she had said that it was about something urgent? Was it to just show how great she had been in her studies? Or was it for something else?

"Thanks, but I'm pretty sure you could have just sent another scroll to praise me. I don't understand why you truly called me here princess..." DemiTwi says softly.

Princess Sunrise's expression suddenly turns a bit more stern and serious.

"Though, I have realized how this could harm you." Princess Sunrise says.

DemiTwi suddenly looked even more confused.

"Harm me? How could being a smart pony harm me?" DemiTwi asked curiously.

"Not that being smart could hurt you. Excuse me for my horrible wording. What I mean is how being alone and focusing on studying every day is hurting you." Princess Sunrise says.

The room stays quiet for a moment until DemiTwi starts laughing a bit. DemiTwi then looks up at the princess with a small smile.

"Princess Sunrise, I have DemiSpike there with me to keep me company while I study! I am fine!" DemiTwi says.

Princess Sunrise's gaze suddenly grows a bit more serious than before.

"No DemiTwi. I am concerned for your well-being due to you not having any other pony there to socialize with besides DemiSpike. ...concerned due to you not having any friends." Princess Sunrise's expression saddens a bit.

"Whatttt? Come on! That's ridiculous! Friends?? Who needs that? It will be a distraction from what matters most." DemiTwi says.

"Being around other ponies isn't a bad thing, DemiTwi. Sometimes, it's how you learn the most about yourself." Princess Sunrise says. "In fact, I have made up my mind."

"And... what will that be?" DemiTwi asks.

An hour later.

DemiSpike reads a book on dragons in an attempt to gather information about the different types of dragons there are. He suddenly hears a door being flung open. He flinches a bit before regaining his composure. He then has a happy expression and runs to the front door. DemiTwi is here!

"DemiTwiii!" DemiSpike says running up to DemiTwi.

"urghhhh! WHAT!?" DemiTwi yells before shooting a small beam at DemiSpike.

"AHH!" DemiSpike's claw gets hit.

DemiSpike holds his claw in pain. DemiTwi immediately gasps and has a face of guilt.

"I'm... sorry... I'm just pissed right now..." DemiTwi says.

"It's okay. What happened? You took forever!" DemiSpike says.

Before DemiSpike could get an answer DemiTwi trots up to her room still a bit pissed but calmed. DemiSpike scratches his furry head confused before running into the kitchen grabbing a bottle of "Chill-aid! Cherry Flavor" and following DemiTwi upstairs.

DemiTwi had started packing her stuff into a suitcase while packing for DemiSpike as well. DemiSpike ran up beside her and handed her the bottle.

"Here. I know these are your favorite and I wanted to cheer you up!" DemiSpike says.

DemiTwi smiles before grabbing the bottle with magic. DemiSpike takes a look at the suitcases and looks back at DemiTwi.

"What are you doing?" DemiSpike asks.

DemiTwi looks at him after taking a sip and says, "Packing. Princess Sunrise wants us to move for... something."

"Oh, uh... to where exactly?"

"Ponyville."

S1 Ep.2) The Friendship in My Heart - Part 1

The sun rises meaning a new day is here! Everypony's mornings are always divine. Well... today is different for somepony. DemiTwi wakes up grumpy. She had been hoping Princess Sunrise had changed her mind. Sadly, Princess Sunrise's mind had been set. DemiTwi looks at her suitcase and groans. DemiSpike wakes up not too long after and looks at DemiTwi with exhausted eyes.

"What time is it... it's so early... we never wake up this early." DemiSpike says rubbing his eyes.

DemiTwi yawns before getting up and casually ignoring DemiSpike's question. She trots around each room making sure it is clean before heading to the kitchen to make something for DemiSpike and herself.

DemiSpike follows DemiTwi and sits at the table. He opens a book about dragons and starts reading away while waiting for DemiTwi to finish.

"I noticed the rooms were cleaner than usual. Did you clean them?" DemiTwi asks.

DemiSpike looks up from his book and smiles a bit, "Yeah, I did... I just didn't want you to have so much work this morning. Especially since we're basically moving out." DemiSpike says.

DemiTwi chuckles a bit before setting the plates of food on the table. DemiTwi looks at the book and immediately lets out a sigh.

"DemiSpike, you're perfect the way you are... you don't need to keep researching about other dragons to see if they have fur as well." DemiTwi says.

DemiSpike closes the book and sets it aside, "...sorry." DemiSpike says.

"It's fine. Just eat your food. We gotta get going as soon as we can. Princess Sunrise informed me that we would be moving into what she called ‘The Golden Oaks Library.’”

"So, we're gonna be living in a library is what you're trying to say. Sounds... exciting, I guess." DemiSpike says.

"It sure does," DemiTwi says eating her food.

Suddenly, DemiSpike starts to choke. DemiTwi immediately gets up and tries to help DemiSpike get the food out. DemiSpike suddenly then burps out a scroll sent by the princess. DemiTwi suddenly lets out an annoyed sigh due to the false alarm.

"She should seriously start sending notes a bit less... forcing," DemiTwi says holding up the note with her magic.

My dear faithful student, I send this scroll to wish you good luck in your adventures that will come upon you in the sweet village Ponyville. I just know you will meet many sweet ponies and make some friends that will aid you in your adventures there.

Your mentor, Princess Sunrise.

"What does it say? Was it something important?" DemiSpike asks.

"It was just Princess Sunrise telling us good luck in Ponyville. Hehe. You done eating?" DemiTwi says.

"Yeah. I'm done."

"Alright, get your suitcase. We're going."

DemiTwi and DemiSpike look around each room one last time to ensure they collected everything. They make sure they have gotten everything before exiting the home. While making their way to the train station DemiSpike keeps his profile low. DemiTwi assures him he won't be made fun of and keeps him beside her. The two make it to the train station and enter one of the trains to Ponyville.

The two sit next to each other waiting to arrive at the Ponyville train station until a random unicorn speaks up.

"Uhm, excuse me, ma'am. Is that a... furry-"

DemiTwi immediately gave a glare at the unicorn. DemiTwi did not seem to like what the unicorn was about to say. The unicorn immediately shut up and continued with her business. DemiTwi sighed and looked beside her at the sleeping DemiSpike. DemiTwi had made herself a promise to never let another pony hurt DemiSpike in any way, shape, or form.

The train suddenly stops at the Ponyville train station. DemiTwi carries DemiSpike on her back and heads outside. She makes her way out the train station and heads into the village. Lots of ponies DemiTwi has never met before roam the village. DemiTwi was not used to seeing many of the different pony races here. Usually, she only saw unicorns due to Canterlot mostly being home to the high standard ponies like unicorns.

DemiTwi continued to roam the village till she arrived at the Golden Oaks Library. She quickly grabbed the scroll and opened it to make sure she was at the correct location. After making sure she was at the location she entered the home. She set aside her and DemiSpike's suitcase and turned on the lights. Her eyes were met with the sight of many books on the bookshelves. More books than she ever had in her old home is Canterlot. DemiSpike's eyes fluttered open after the nap he had. He looked around the new home and got off DemiTwi's back.

"That's... a lot of books!" DemiSpike said.

"I know right? This is a lot! ...we are gonna have to clean this up... The pony who was here before obviously did not have the manners to clean this up after moving out." DemiTwi says.

"Good thing I love cleaning!" DemiSpike says.

DemiTwi chuckled and immediately got to work cleaning. She started reorganizing the books in alphabetical order. DemiSpike started to broom the floors helping DemiTwi out time to time. The two quickly cleaned the library exhausted.

"Phew... that was a lot. The pony who was here before was lazy." DemiTwi says throwing shame onto the pony who was there before.

"Eh. It's whatever! Let's look upstairs! I assume the bedrooms are there." DemiSpike says running off upstairs.

"Hey! Wait up!" DemiTwi says chasing DemiSpike upstairs.

DemiTwi catches up to DemiSpike only to see another mess. DemiTwi groans in frustration. DemiSpike immediately runs back downstairs to get the broom. After he came back up he starts sweeping while humming happy tunes. DemiTwi joins in the sweeping by creating a magic broom. After the two finish they start organizing the tiny hallway.

"I seriously don't understand how it was a big deal to clean up the place when moving out." DemiTwi says annoyed.

"I don't mind it! Besides, maybe they were in a rush." DemiSpike says.

DemiTwi rolls her eyes and finishes up sweeping. DemiTwi opens the door to the main bedroom. She lets out a relieved sigh when she sees the previous pony at least cleans the bedroom. She follows DemiSpike to the other room.

"Wow!! Another bedroom?! I can finally have my own bedroom!" DemiSpike says happily.

"Yup. Hehehe. Well, I'll leave you to settle in. Your suitcase is downstairs. I'll continue looking around." DemiTwi says.

DemiSpike nods and runs downstairs to get his suitcase. DemiTwi turns back to the bedroom and looks around. The bedroom is quite nice. She quickly goes back downstairs to get her suitcase to settle. She makes it back up to the bedroom and starts taking out her stuff. After setting her stuff where she liked most, she trots downstairs. She looks at all the books on the bookshelves. So many books... so many unread words. Suddenly, there is a knock at the door. DemiTwi trots to the door. When she opened it, she is met with... ... no pony?

DemiTwi looks around but she can't see a pony in sight. She is slightly annoyed but also a bit confused. She looks at the sky and notices that the day is nearly over. She decides it's time to rest and tomorrow she will explore the village with DemiSpike. She shuts the door and trots upstairs to her bedroom. Before she entered her bedroom, she trotted to DemiSpike's bedroom. She pokes her head through the door and sees DemiSpike sleeping peacefully. She smiles and closes the door.

DemiTwi then makes it to her bedroom and lays down in the bed. She slowly but surely fell asleep.

The sun's rays slowly shine into the bedroom window. DemiTwi is quickly awoken by the sunrays. She gets up and stretches. She slowly gets out of bed and trots downstairs. She sees DemiSpike awake reading a book.

"Hm? Oh! Good morning!" DemiSpike says.

"Morning! I was just about to go out and see the village. It seems nice and I think it would be good to know the place." DemiTwi says.

DemiTwi starts to trot towards the door until DemiSpike puts down the book and follows.

"What? You wanna come along?? You never like going out." DemiTwi says confused with a small smile.

"Well, I think it'd be nice to... know the place like you said. Oh! and help you make some friends like Princess Sunrise said." DemiSpike says.

DemiTwi's smile immediately fades. She had forgotten what she had been assigned in the first place. She was sent here to make friends. Not continue studying and reading. How could she have forgotten? It was the main purpose she was sent to live here. DemiTwi puts DemiSpike on her back and trots outside a bit mad. DemiSpike notices this and tries to cheer her up.

"Come on, DemiTwi! I don't think the ponies here are that bad... they all seem... pretty nice." DemiSpike says looking around at the ponies around them.

DemiTwi sighs and continues walking around. She notices that the village is a lot bigger than she thought. There are lots of nice ponies, homes, and even decorations. This scenery calms her and makes her zone out a bit.

"...you know... maybe you could try speaking to somepony?" DemiSpike asks snapping DemiTwi out her daydreaming.

"mmm.. perhaps... but who-"

Suddenly a light pink pony with a yellow mane bounces up to her. The timing couldn't be more perfect.

DemiTwi and DemiSpike stay looking at the pony as they stare back. Who is this pony? How could they know that DemiTwi and DemiSpike were gonna try speaking to some pony?

Guess there's one way to find out.

S1 Ep.3) The Friendship in My Heart - Part 2

DemiTwi and DemiSpike stay staring at the mysterious pony for a bit. None of them say a word. DemiSpike nudges DemiTwi telling her to say something. DemiTwi hesitates but then speaks up breaking the silence.

"Uh, hello?" DemiTwi says.

The pony then gasps and runs off flying. DemiTwi looks at the direction the pony ran and back at DemiSpike a bit confused.

"Well, that went well," DemiTwi says sarcastically rolling her eyes.

"Oh... maybe the next pony won't be so bad... that is if we run into another pony willing to make conversation," DemiSpike says.

"Come on. Let's go see what else this village has to offer. I'm sure it has more than just ponies running off in a very... interesting manner." DemiTwi says.

The two start to roam the village looking around. So far, they haven't encountered anypony else willing to have a conversation. DemiTwi and DemiSpike stop near an ice cream shop and a random boutique.

"For a village, they really have a lot to offer here. Can this even be considered a village?" DemiSpike says.

"I agree. ...hey! Do you want some ice cream? Might as well have a cone am I right?" DemiTwi says.

"Ehhh... I haven't really tried ice cream before... nor has it ever caught my attention." DemiSpike says unsure.

"Come on! It'll be tasty!" DemiTwi says encouraging him to try."

"Fine..." DemiSpike says.

"Alright! Wait right here." DemiTwi says trotting towards the ice cream shop.

DemiSpike waits outside until a unicorn trots towards him. DemiSpike looks up at the unicorn a bit confused at the sudden approach.

"Uhhhh... hello?" DemiSpike says.

"Oh my diamonds! What an adorable little dragon you are! Oh my! YOU ARE PERFECT FOR THIS!" the unicorn says casually snatching DemiSpike and galloping into the boutique.

DemiTwi returns with two ice cream cones. She notices DemiSpike missing and immediately starts trotting around.

"DemiSpike? DemiSpike?!" DemiTwi yells out trying to find him.

She continues trotting around until her attention focuses on the boutique. She decides to enter the boutique and see if DemiSpike is in there. She looks around the boutique and sees the same unicorn and DemiSpike. The unicorn seems to be putting outfits on DemiSpike and admires him whenever she does so.

"Ahem," DemiTwi says catching the unicorn's and DemiSpike's attention.

"Oh! Hello darling!" the unicorn says waving.

"Uhm... hello. I see my dragon is safe... .... here with you. If you don't mind, I'll-"

"Oh! This is your dragon? My! I haven't met anypony who has a dragon as well!" the unicorn says. "What's his name darling?"

"DemiSpike. DemiSpike Heartyfur." DemiTwi says.

"What a lovely name! What may yours be?" the unicorn says.

"DemiTwi. DemiTwi Sparkle... ...what's your name?" DemiTwi asks a bit hesitantly.

"Why it's DemiRarity Diamond of course! I would indeed introduce you to my dragon, but he isn't here at the moment! Do you want to try on one of my finest designs?" DemiRarity asks.

"No no... me and DemiSpike are actually REALLY busy today. We really have to get going..." DemiTwi says carrying DemiSpike with her magic and slowly trotting out.

"That's okay darling! Perhaps we can speak some more later! Maybe we can be friends! Consider me a friend of yours now DemiTwi! You too Mr. Fur!" DemiRarity says waving.

DemiTwi's eyes widen after DemiRarity finished speaking. A friend? What does she say? What does she do?

"Yeahhhh! Friends... uh... bye!!" DemiTwi says galloping out the boutique with DemiSpike.

DemiTwi hands DemiSpike the ice cream cone and continues trotting eating the ice cream she got herself.

"Mmm! This is actually pretty good! I can't believe I've been missing out!" DemiSpike says eating the ice cream.

"Yeah. ...oh damnit! Rain?!" DemiTwi says annoyed watching her ice cream get everywhere.

"Uh... what is-"

DemiSpike is interrupted when he gets struck by lightning. DemiTwi immediately gets frustrated and looks up knowing that the lightning strike wasn't natural.

"HAHAHAHA! Oh, man! That was funny!" a rainbow mane pegasus says laughing on top of the cloud that was used.

DemiTwi's anger only grows more the longer the pegasus laughs. She grabs the pegasus with her magic and makes them face her. The pegasus's laughter immediately dies out and is replaced with silence.

"Uhm... sorry..." the pegasus says breaking the silence and chuckling nervously.

DemiTwi gives the pegasus an unamused look and scoffs.

"You hurt my dragon. Give me a reason not to send you flying off into the sky. It won't be because of your wings either." DemiTwi says.

"Okay okay! I'm sorry! Jeez... ... I'm DemiDash Dasher and a reason you shouldn't blast me is because uh... I am the fastest pegasus alive. And also because everypony here will probably report you to the princess or spread the news and get you exposed." DemiDash says.

DemiTwi's face immediately gave an even harder glare. Her horn starts to glow.

"Hey hey! Wait! WAIT!-"

"Dashie! That was very rude of you to harm the poor baby dragon!" A peach-like yellow pegasus says galloping over to the still-shocked DemiSpike.

DemiTwi's horn immediately stopped glowing when she saw the other pegasus galloping towards DemiSpike.

"Ugh... why must you always be watching me, DemiShy?" DemiDash says groaning.

"Because you never think about what your actions could do to others! You hurting this poor baby dragon just proves my point!" DemiShy says before turning to DemiSpike. "Are you okay?"

"Yup... I'm fine." DemiSpike says before coughing.

"Urgh..." DemiTwi says before carrying DemiSpike with her magic. "Nice to meet you two I suppose."

"Hi... I'm DemiShy... I am so sorry for my friend's actions..." DemiShy says in a sorry tone.

"Urgh... it's fine." DemiTwi says still a bit annoyed.

"I hope we can be on good terms... or be friends..." DemiShy says softly.

"Uhhhh..."

"Yeah! Friends! You seem awesome! Hope we can hang out sometime!" DemiDash says.

"Sure! Uh... hangout! Me and DemiSpike have somewhere to be! Bye!" DemiTwi says before galloping with DemiSpike.

"DemiTwi wait!! You didn't tell them your name!!" DemiSpike yells out before being carried away with DemiTwi.

DemiDash and DemiShy stand there watching the two run off.

"Did you get any of that?" DemiDash asks DemiShy.

"I got that the pony's name was... DemiTwi?" DemiShy says.

"Huh. Neat name." DemiDash says.

DemiTwi and DemiSpike slow down after losing sight of DemiDash and DemiShy. DemiTwi was a bit overwhelmed by how many possible friends she made today. First, a pony who ran off. Then a fashionista named DemiRarity. And now two pegasi?! Who else could there possibly be?

"Uhhh... DemiTwi? Where are we going?" DemiSpike says once again snapping DemiTwi out her daydreaming.

DemiTwi looks around to see the sight of apple trees and farm layouts around her.

"Sunrise damnit why does this happen?!" DemiTwi yells out.

"Ooo howdy partner!" a light orange earth pony says trotting towards her.

"Stupid plot... always having to make me go somewhere else rather than home..." DemiTwi says groaning.

"Well, well! New friends! What is y'all's name? Ah am DemiJack."

"DemiTwi Sparkle. My dragon's name is DemiSpike." DemiTwi says looking very exhausted.

"Howdy DemiTwi! Nice to meet ya! Would you like some apples?" DemiJack asks.

"Uh... Thanks, but I really have to get going." DemiTwi says. "This chapter already has too many paragraphs, and the author is getting exhausted..."

"You look hungry! Follow me!" DemiJack says before dragging DemiTwi towards the farm.

"Hey! Wait up!" DemiSpike says chasing them.

DemiTwi one second is being dragged and the next sitting in front of a table with a bunch of desserts sitting on it.

"Desserts from each Apple family member! Apple pie from DemiBloom, Apples by itself from me, Apples dipped in cinnamon from Granny Apple, A-"

"Okay okay! Uh... I actually have somewhere very important to be... sorry." DemiTwi says turning to DemiSpike with a look saying "Agree"

"Yeah, we do," DemiSpike says.

"Aren't you gonna stay for dessert?" DemiBloom says with puppy eyes.

DemiTwi looks around at all the frowns the family members give. DemiSpike looks at DemiTwi unknowing of what to do until DemiTwi sighs.

"Fine." DemiTwi says.

Cheers fill the silence when DemiTwi says that.

After an hour or two DemiTwi and DemiSpike exit Sweet Apple Acres with stomach aches.

"Oh... I ate too much pie..." DemiTwi says.

"Urghhhh... I shouldn't have eaten all those apples..." DemiSpike says.

The two finally make it back to where they had started. The Golden Oaks Library. DemiTwi sighs in relief seeing the familiar sight of the library. She looks up and notices how late it has gotten considering how the sun is already starting to set.

"Let's go and sleep already... I'm tired." DemiSpike says.

DemiTwi nods and opens the door entering. Her eyes widen when the lights suddenly turn on and show the five ponies she had met today in her home with a bunch of party decorations.

"SURPRISE!!!" The light pink pony with a yellow mane yells out.

"W-what?! How did-"

"Hello! My name is DemiPie! I noticed you were new and a new pony I haven't met wow!!! I mean seriously how did I not notice right away I mean no other pony here has an ugly mane like yours and has a pink furry baby dragon I mean come on it was so obvious! I gathered these exact ponies because I noticed these four are the same ones you met today and became possible friends with, and I didn't throw a full-on party because I noticed it would be too hard for the author to write due to story purposes! Did I forget to mention my name is DemiPie oh wait I did so Hi!!" DemiPie says.

DemiTwi's eyes twitch in annoyance and confusion as to how they had gotten into their house in the first place.

"Ughh!!" DemiTwi groans.

"Oh, well... Hi DemiPie! I am DemiSpike!" DemiSpike says.

"Hello!! Enjoy this mini party!! Because we are gonna be partying till the rise of the sun! Get it?! Sunrise!? No? Oh... okay." DemiPie says.

"My what a fine library party! DemiTwi darling let's try on some dresses!" DemiRarity says.

"Or maybe do something cool like play a game?!" DemiDash says.

"Talk to animals?..." DemiShy suggests

"Try some of my new apple flavors?" DemiJack says

"OOOO!! Or maybe throw an amazing party at the Golden Oaks Library right before the cool plot with the bug queen!! ...oh! Wait! We're already doing that!" DemiPie says.

DemiTwi gave up and just decided to do what they wanted to do. DemiSpike had already joined in with DemiRarity trying outfits. All DemiTwi wanted to do was rest but noooo! Some ponies had to commit a crime and break into her home.

A few hours go by and it's late at night. The group all play a game of truth or dare. DemiTwi did have a bit of fun she hated to admit. She had never played this fillyish game. She thought the game was gonna be boring, but it did turn out to be a lot of fun after. The group unknowingly was about to have their fun ruined.

"I dare you too... speak the way I speak!" DemiRarity dared DemiSpike.

"Uh... isn't this just... beautiful darling?" DemiSpike says awkwardly.

"Oh, never mind don't ever do that again." DemiRarity says.

"Haha! That was hilarious! Now I-"

DemiDash was suddenly interrupted when screams outside were heard.

"What the..." DemiShy trots to one of the windows and looks outside. She suddenly screams at the sight.

"What?! What is it?!" DemiJack says concerned.

DemiTwi gallops towards the window DemiShy is looking through and takes a look for herself. Her eyes widen.

"C-c-changelings..." DemiTwi says in a whisper.

"What? What was-" DemiRarity was about to ask before DemiTwi yelled.

"CHANGELINGS!! CHANGELINGS!!" DemiTwi says starting to panic.

"What?! But I thought those were just an old fairytale!" DemiSpike says terrified.

The group started to speak over each other panicking a bit. That was until DemiPie said something that would traumatize the group for life.

"DemiShy? I didn't know you had a twin sister!" DemiPie says in her still cheerful voice trying to lighten the mood.

"I-I don't..." DemiShy says looking towards DemiTwi.

DemiTwi turns around and sees... DemiShy. But it wasn't DemiShy. The DemiShy she knew did not have bloodied yellow teeth with green ooze coming from her eyes.

"...DemiShy?"

The DemiShy in front of her stayed put. Blood dripped from its mouth. Its emotionless eyes leaked green ooze. What terrified DemiTwi was how it was so emotionless despite having the blood and part of a hoof from its previous victim.

S1 Ep.4) The Friendship in My Heart - Part 3

We have the 'fight or flight' response when we encounter danger. The fight response is when we decide to attack and defend ourselves. The flight response is to escape the threat that could potentially harm us. This is what's happening to our friend DemiTwi.

DemiTwi takes a step back. Her eyes never left the creature standing in front of her. She takes a look at DemiShy standing behind her. DemiShy looks back at DemiTwi in fear. DemiTwi looks back at what seems to be DemiShy. Except, it wasn't. How could DemiShy be in front of her if she was behind her? The DemiShy-looking creature suddenly lunged at her.

"DEMITWI!!" DemiDash cried out.

DemiTwi stood paralyzed in fear as the creature lunged at her. Everything seemed to play in slow motion. DemiTwi closed her eyes awaiting whatever was to come until...

BAM!!

DemiTwi opened her eyes to see DemiShy with a bat now bloodied in her hooves and the other DemiShy on the floor.

"I-is it dead?! What have I done?!" DemiShy says.

"I don't know... but... it seems to be dead," DemiDash says flying towards the corpse.

DemiDash tries to check for a pulse until the corpse bites her!

"AHHH! FUCK!!" DemiDash says kicking the corpse in the face.

The DemiShy falls back. Its disguise fades off revealing it's a changeling.

"A changeling..." DemiJack says in a scared whisper.

The changeling flies up and starts to fly towards DemiPie. DemiPie grabs a book ready to defend herself until DemiRarity shoots at the changeling. The magic had been shot at a strong amount causing it to die.

"...Now it's dead," DemiTwi says.

In Canterlot

Everything in Canterlot had been going okay. Everything was calm just like any other day. Princess Sunrise was in the throne room organizing the decorations.

"It's nice to have a little me time every now and then. Not everypony wants to be sitting on a throne all day." Princess Sunrise says.

A sudden pegasus flies into the throne room looking panicked. It was the mail pony.

"Hm? Yes?" Princess Sunrise says startled.

"N-new from Ponyville! I-it's under attack!!" The mail pony says worried.

"What could you possibly mean? Who is attacking?" Princess Sunrise says starting to get worried.

"The changeling queen! I-I was on the way t-to deliver some mail at the Ponyville village until a-a changeling attacked me!!" the mail pony says revealing his injured wing.

Princess Sunrise's eyes widen. She immediately opens her wings.

"Tell all the royal guards to start their protection spell around Canterlot. THAT'S AN ORDER!!" Princess Sunrise says running up to an open window and flying out.

Back in Ponyville

The seven sit around in the library unknowing of what to do.

"Thanks, DemiShy..." DemiDash says looking at her now patched-up hoof.

"No problem..." DemiShy says.

DemiTwi sits in one of the corners looking at different books trying to figure out how to defeat the changelings. DemiSpike helps out while looking for something to calm DemiRarity.

"None of these books are helping... the screams outside aren't helping either...I can feel myself slowing but surely... losing... my-"

"What about this?" DemiSpike says holding up a book with little to no use.

DemiTwi immediately gets infuriated.

"That isn't going to help! UGHHH!" DemiTwi yells out.

Everypony immediately turns to her concerned. DemiTwi immediately realizes what she has done.

"I'm sorry everypony... I-I'm just... stressed. I haven't found anything... and Princess Sunrise has not answered my scrolls..." DemiTwi says.

"Ah understand ya, sugarcube. We're all stressed. But ah can assure ya everythin is gonna be just fine." DemiJack says.

"Yeah! Everything is going to be just fine!" DemiPie says.

The group looks at each other trying to cheer each other up.

"...We can't stay here. Sooner or later those... changelings are going to find out we're here. We have to get to Canterlot! I'm sure it's safe there." DemiTwi says.

"How are you so sure?" DemiShy asks.

"...I... ...It's our best option right now. Canterlot is heavily guarded." DemiTwi says.

"Alright... lead the way," DemiDash says.

DemiTwi nods and cautiously approaches the door. DemiSpike tugs onto her hoof.

"...I- I can't risk you getting hurt, DemiSpike..." DemiTwi says, "I need you to stay here."

"But DemiTwi, the changelings might break into here and... you know. We don't know how desperate these changelings are to find anyone and..." DemiRarity stops herself.

DemiTwi thinks for a bit. She knows DemiRarity is probably right. The choice DemiTwi makes now depends on if DemiSpike goes unharmed or not. Suddenly, DemiJack speaks up.

"Uh... y'all? Look at what ah found." DemiJack says peaking between two books on one of the bookshelves.

DemiTwi trots over and looks between the books DemiJack was looking between. She sees a hidden book... trapped. DemiSpike walks over to DemiTwi.

"What do you see?" DemiSpike asks.

"I see a book... maybe it could help us!" DemiTwi says feeling a bit of hope.

"But how are we supposed to get it? It's clearly out of reach! Unless someone finds a hidden le-"

"Hey look!" DemiPie says cutting DemiDash off and pulling a book.

The bookshelves covering the book immediately move out of the way letting the ponies get through to the book.

"Well! Thank Sunrise!" DemiTwi says.

DemiTwi steps up to the book and opens it.

"The... Elements of Harmony?" DemiTwi says in confusion.

"I think I have heard of those before! I don't know much... but I think they are like some special gems!" DemiRarity says.

DemiTwi starts to read the book word by word. She tried to ignore the screams outside as best as she could.

The Elements of Harmony are special. Once said to have been wielded by Princess SunRise to banish a dangerous alicorn threatening the lands to the moon. This story has been told for a total of 1000 moons. The elements of harmony are said to hold immense power and give power to those who wield them. The location of these elements is unknown.

"Woah... maybe we can find them!" DemiDash says.

"But how? We have no idea where the elements are! The book doesn't even tell us where they are!" DemiJack says.

"Maybe it's somewhere in this book! We just-"

"CHANGELINGS!!!" DemiSpike says yelling.

DemiTwi and the others turn to the windows. Their eyes are met with changelings breaking through and trying to force themselves inside the room.

"GO! GO!" DemiTwi says galloping to the front door.

The others follow behind her escaping the changelings.

DemiTwi gallops to try and find safety in the village. Everywhere she goes there are just changelings. DemiTwi turned to look behind her. The other ponies nor DemiSpike were behind her. She starts to panic until a changeling pounces her.

“AHH! Get off of me!” DemiTwi says panicking.

The changeling hisses at her and starts to get ready to bite her.

“HEY! GET AWAY FROM HER!” DemiJack yells out bucking the changeling.

DemiJack bucking the changeling didn’t do much. In fact, it only made things worse. She had bucked the changeling too far a crowd of changelings alerting them. DemiTwi quickly got back up and got beside DemiJack. DemiJack looked around only to see changelings started to surround them.

“DemiJack! What do we do?!” DemiTwi asks scared.

DemiJack tries to think of something before getting an idea.

“Let them get near.” DemiJack says.

“Are you absolutely crazy?!” DemiTwi says.

“No. Just let them get near. We’ll be fine.” DemiJack says.

“You don’t know that!”

“Yes, ah do. Just trust me.” DemiJack says.

DemiTwi was about to protest when the changelings started to charge at them. She closed her eyes, ready to accept her faith.

"HEYA!" DemiDash yells out striking some of the changelings with a lightning cloud.

"WOOHOOOOO!!!" DemiPie screams grabbing some of the changelings and throwing them towards DemiJack to buck.

"I-Is that all of them?" DemiTwi asks.

"I think so..." DemiDash says looking around for any more changelings.

"Wait... WHERE'S DEMISPIKE?! DEMISPIKE!! DEMISPIKE!!" DemiTwi says starting to panic again.

"Hey hey! Calm down... he's with DemiShy and DemiRarity. We told him to stay with them so he wouldn't get hurt." DemiPie says

"Alright... we have to get a move on! Where did they go to?" DemiTwi asks.

"They went to the train station!! When you ran off, we saw Princess Sunrise gathering surviving ponies to evacuate to Canterlot! Maybe we should-"

"Thank Sunrise, we found you three!" DemiRarity says running towards the four with DemiShy.

"DemiShy? DemiRarity? Why aren't you with Princess Sunrise?!" DemiDash says confused.

"Y-you two left DemiSpike?!" DemiTwi says starting to panic again.

"No no! We told him to get out with Princess Sunrise... he's fine! ..but we have great news! We got information about the elements we're trying to find!" DemiShy says.

"Oh yes darling! Princess Sunrise told us where the elements are located!" DemiRarity says.

"We can finally find them!" DemiPie says.

"Are you three out of your minds?! We gotta get out of here!" DemiDash says.

"Ah gotta agree! It ain't safe!" DemiJack says.

The friends continue to argue while DemiTwi thinks about what to do. Going with Princess Sunrise to escape sounds like a great choice, but gathering the elements feels like the right option. She looks at DemiRarity, DemiPie, and DemiShy who want to get the elements. She turns her head to face DemiJack and DemiDash, who wanna evacuate to Canterlot.

"We have to get the elements," DemiTwi says.

DemiDash looks baffled hearing DemiTwi.

"Fine! I'll be right back then!" DemiDash says flying off.

"Wait! DemiDash come back! Please!" DemiTwi says trying to call out to her before she completely disappears from her view.

The friends wait for DemiDash to return, but she never does. DemiTwi sighs before turning to DemiShy and DemiRarity.

"Where did Sunrise say the elements were?" DemiTwi asks.

The group of five trot through the Everfree Forest ready to defend themselves if a changeling was to attack them. DemiPie continues to bounce full of energy until she sees her friends stressed. DemiTwi is scared thinking about what could happen.

"Uhm... ahem... did you all know I have once mistaken glue for frosting? Super insane am I right?!" DemiPie says.

DemiRarity giggles a bit while DemiJack chuckles. DemiShy looks back at her smiling. DemiTwi though is confused at how she could be so positive in a time like this.

DemiTwi continues trotting still a bit confused while the rest laugh at DemiPie's jokes. DemiTwi while the others laugh looks at DemiPie.

"How... are you not scared?" DemiTwi asks.

"Well sure the situation is a bit scary... but what could negativity contribute? You should always have hope no matter what! Have a giggle! As long as we stay happy, we can do anything!" DemiPie says giggling.

DemiTwi thinks about what she had said for a bit before stumbling across... a baby changeling stuck?

"Hah! This is karma for killing a bunch of innocent ponies you disgusting changeling!" DemiRarity says looking at the baby changeling.

"It's best to get rid of it. Once it gets free it's gonna harm us no doubt." DemiJack says.

"Right." DemiTwi says getting her horn ready.

The baby changeling braces for impact before DemiShy steps in the way.

"No," DemiShy says in a low voice.

"Erm! I thought she said to end the changeling! Not DemiShy!" DemiPie says.

"DemiShy! Get out of the way!" DemiTwi says a bit confused.

DemiShy turns around and looks at the baby changeling that is stuck.

"Don't worry... I'll help you." DemiShy says lifting the rock off the baby changeling's leg.

"What the hay are ya doing?!" DemiJack says ready to defend herself.

"Can you tell us where the abandoned castle is? We just need a bit of confirmation!" DemiShy says.

The baby changeling nods before pointing in the right direction. DemiTwi and DemiJack were shocked by the unusual friendliness of a changeling.

"But... why did..." DemiTwi tries to finish her sentence.

"Sometimes... all you need is a little bit of kindness," DemiShy says before trotting off in the direction the baby changeling pointed in.

"...hm."

DemiTwi follows DemiShy, everypony else following.

DemiTwi continues to trot with the ponies, some of them making conversation to pass time. A changeling has not come to attack them giving the hint that no changeling has reached the Everfree Forest. DemiTwi suddenly winces in pain. She looks at her hoof, a wound that has been bleeding for a while visible. How had she just felt it now?

DemiRarity looks back at DemiTwi. She removes the tie around her hat and starts tying it around her hoof.

"Hm? Wait... DemiRarity! That's the tie for your hat!" DemiTwi says.

"Oh please... don't worry about it! I have extras! Besides, it was too out of season!" DemiRarity says finishing off and continuing to trot.

DemiTwi looks at the tie around her hoof before continuing to trot.

The five finally make it to the bridge connecting to the land that has the abandoned castle lying on!

"We're almost there! We just have to get to the other side! Follow me carefully." DemiTwi says setting a hoof on the bridge.

DemiTwi continued to trot across the bridge.

"Alright everypony!" DemiPie says about to get on the bridge until...

SNAP!!!

“DEMITWI!!” DemiPie yelled out.

“AHHHHHHH!!!!” DemiTwi screams as she sees herself falling to her demise.

DemiTwi was about to hit the ground until...

“CAUGHT YA!” DemiDash says catching her just in time before she hits the ground.

“D-DemiDash! But I thought- “

“I said I’d be right back! I would never leave my friends! Also, I had to make sure a friend of mine was in a safe area.” DemiDash says flying DemiTwi and herself up to where the others are.

DemiDash finally got to the top and put down DemiTwi. The others sighed in relief while DemiDash started to tie the bridge back together with DemiRarity’s help.

“Come on, y’all. We got some elements to catch!” DemiJack says starting to take the lead in crossing the bridge.

The group of six makes it across and enters the abandoned castle. They look around at their surroundings, their eyes meeting the abandoned decorations around them.

"My... this castle sure needs a... deep cleaning." DemiRarity says.

DemiJack nods her head, "It sure does." she says

DemiTwi, not making any conversation, gallops towards the elements laying on the stands in the middle of the room.

"The elements! We found-"

Changelings suddenly attack the group pinning down every one of them except DemiTwi.

"AH! Get off me!" DemiDash says trying to fight back.

"Guys!!" DemiTwi says starting to light up her horn before she is blasted with dark magic.

DemiTwi hits the ground hard before turning to see what had hit her. There she was. The queen of changelings was standing right next to the elements. She quickly decides to try and help out her friends before the queen grabs her.

"Let me go, you stupid bastard!" DemiTwi says.

"Did you really think you'd be able to defeat me?? So pathetic... came all this way and for what?" The queen says before teleporting the two into another room.

The queen throws DemiTwi away from her and grabs the elements with her magic.

"AH! You... you knew we we're gonna come here all this time..." DemiTwi says realizing.

"HAHAHAH! Your efforts were all in vain! Now... where was I? Oh yes... destroying all the little hope you had!" The queen says ready to shatter the elements one by one.

"NO!" DemiTwi says shooting a blast of magic at the queen.

"OOF!" The queen yells out in pain being pushed back from the magic.

DemiTwi quickly runs towards the element and starts to try using her magic.

"One spark... one spark! I-it's what the book said!" DemiTwi says desperate to defeat the queen.

DemiTwi finally shoots magic at the elements before being flung back from the queen's magic. The elements start to emit a glow while being filled with magic.

"No! NO!" The queen says a bit worried from the elements glowing.

DemiTwi smirks feeling victory before the elements stop. DemiTwi's expression immediately shows one of defeat and worry.

"No! But the elements... they're-"

Before DemiTwi could finish, The queen shoots at the elements with a powerful amount of pure dark magic.

The elements... they're gone.

"You foal! Thinking you can defeat me?! My changelings will kill every last of your being... we will rule Equestria! You lost! You and your pathetic princess will either die... or bow down to me!" The queen says laughing with an evil tone.

DemiTwi starts to tear up. What was the point of even moving forward if defeat was guaranteed in the end? All the work and efforts... useless. DemiTwi's ears perk up when she hears the ponies' voices grow louder. Their hoofsteps started to get louder as they traveled up the stairs to the room she was in. DemiTwi's eyes widen. A sudden spark flashed through her eyes.

"You think you can destroy the spirits of the elements just like that? Well, you're wrong! Because the spirits of the elements of harmony... ARE RIGHT HERE!" DemiTwi says as the shards of the elements start to glow.

"W-what?!" The queen says shocked by the shards of the elements glowing.

"DemiJack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of... honesty! DemiShy,Who helped a baby changeling from possibly dying out despite their species with compassion, represents the spirit of... kindness! DemiPie, who stayed positive despite the situation by cheering her friends up and getting them to laugh, represents the spirit of... laughter! DemiRarity, who gave up something valuable to her to help out a friend in need generosity! And DemiDash, who could not abandon her friends no matter the situation represents the spirit of... loyalty! The spirits of these five ponies got us through problems along the way..."

"You still don't have the sixth element! The spark didn't work!" The queen says

"But it did. A different kind of spark... 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! You see, Nightmare Moon, when those Elements are ignited by the... the spark that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth element: the element of... magic!"

The sixth element emerges from a bright light that appeared out of nowhere in front of DemiTwi. The element shards and the sixth element start to glow before forming into necklace-like forms of themselves on the ponies' necks. The sixth element turns into a crown and rests itself on DemiTwi head. The six by the element's control get into a formation ready to put an end to this mess.

The queen starts to back up. But it is too late! A rainbow-like laser starts to form from DemiTwi's crown aiming at the queen. The queen is soon surrounded by the laser.

The air is suddenly filled with the painful screams from the queen. The laser grows brighter and brighter.

FLASH!!!

DemiTwi suddenly finds herself waking up from being passed out. She looks around after remembering what had happened. She sees her friends also waking up from the impact. She looked from where the queen had last been only to see that she was nowhere to be found. It didn't matter though. Outside was bright and there were no changelings to be spotted.

"Ugh... my head..." DemiDash groans.

"Woah! Dashie, look!" DemiShy says pointing to DemiDash's element, "It looks just like your cutie mark!"

"Sick! Yours does too!" DemiDash says.

"Oh my darling! These are gorgeous!" DemiRarity says looking at everypony's elements including hers.

DemiTwi looks up at her crown. It did look pretty! Suddenly... a pony trots into the room they were in.

"PRINCESS!!" DemiTwi says galloping towards her.

DemiTwi hugs Princess Sunrise. She was so glad to see that the princess was okay. She looks beside Sunrise and sees DemiSpike. She stops hugging Sunrise and hugs DemiSpike.

"DemiTwi!" DemiSpike says hugging her back glad to see her.

DemiTwi looks up to Sunrise. Her friends bow down when seeing the princess.

"I am so proud of you, DemiTwi. I knew you could do it. You today have saved many ponies' lives. All you six have. I am also very proud that you have let friendship into your heart and not only accepted it but used its power to defeat the queen. You, my faithful student, have completed your quest." Princess Sunrise says

"WOOHOOO!! YEAHHHH!!" DemiPie says cheering for DemiTwi in the background.

The others start cheering for DemiTwi. DemiSpike joining in. A smile forms on DemiTwi's face hearing her friends cheer for her as well as DemiSpike.

DemiTwi looks up at the princess.

"Thank you, Princess." DemiTwi says, "Thank you for... making me move to Ponyville."

DemiTwi hugs Princess Sunrise once again. Princess Sunrise hugging her back. This time, the others joined in.

Perhaps friendship isn't a bad thing after all.

finally finished this... it was so rushed so-

S1 Ep.5)Fur or What? It's a Dragon Who Cares!

It had been two weeks since the changeling invasion happened. Recovery for everypony hadn't been very easy. Many ponies had lost loved ones, and many have been traumatized including fillies and colts. Some believe it to have been Princess Sunrise's fault for not warning them sooner.

DemiTwi and her friends have been helping the village to recover until it is back to how it originally was. DemiJack and DemiRarity are helping ponies calm down and feel safe around the village again. DemiShy and DemiDash are helping with reconstruction while DemiPie bakes goods to help out ponies in her way.

Now in the present time, DemiTwi takes it upon herself to try and figure her way around the village. DemiSpike had decided to try and see the village for himself as well.

"So, the boutique is here... the Sweet Apple Acres is over there... can this place even be called a village anymore? It's too big to be considered one in my opinion." DemiTwi says trotting around the village with DemiSpike.

"Yeah... I guess so." DemiSpike says a bit... scared?

At first, DemiTwi doesn't notice because her main focus is navigating the village to gain a better understanding of her surroundings.

"Alright... over there is where the shops are. Over here are mainly the homes of many ponies. Over there is the train station! Gotta note this down! Never know when we might need to go back to Canterlot." DemiTwi says grabbing a notebook and starting to write in it.

DemiSpike nods. He takes a look around and notices ponies starting to stare at him. He starts to feel a bit of anxiety build up. He takes a few calm breaths before he notices that DemiTwi is no longer with him.

"DemiTwi?" DemiSpike tries to call out for her.

He looks around again seeing more ponies stare at him. DemiSpike now starts to panic and looks around more for DemiTwi. He doesn't see her.

"D-DemiTwi! DemiTwi!!" DemiSpike calls out now panicking even more.

"He has fur!"

"What a weirdo!"

"Weirdo! Weirdo!"

What was once just a few ponies turned into a whole lot of them. They all came out of nowhere. DemiTwi was still nowhere to be seen. She wouldn't have just left DemiSpike there, would she?

"DemiSpike. DemiSpike. DEMISPIKE!!"

DemiSpike immediately snaps back to reality. He looks up to see DemiTwi looking concerned for him.

"Are you okay?" DemiTwi asks.

DemiSpike tries to answer but is too overwhelmed by what he has just seen. He didn't wanna tell her either due to the fact she had been wanting to navigate the village. He looks behind her seeing ponies still stare at him. Though not in the very judgmental way he had seen in his view.

DemiTwi notices this and turns around. She sees the ponies as well. She immediately knows what's going on now. It wasn't the first time this had happened. It's happened in Canterlot many times.

"DemiSpike..."

"I know, DemiTwi. ...I know. It doesn't get easier. I thought Ponyville would be better. ...perhaps though... it isn't Ponyville. ...it's just me." DemiSpike says.

DemiTwi's heart aches hearing him blame himself for this.

"DemiSpike... it's okay. You have nothing to worry about here. The ponies are nice here. I'm sure they aren't making fun of your fur. It's probably just curiosity." DemiTwi says reassuring DemiSpike.

DemiSpike looks down at the ground and nods. He starts to follow DemiTwi again after she starts to trot again. DemiSpike tries to ignore the ponies staring at him.

"Aha! This is the way into the Everfree forest! DemiShy told me she lived near here meaning the path to her home should be that one right there! Now we need to figure out the way to Sugarcube Corner!" DemiTwi says happily trotting back.

DemiSpike follows along until two colts stop him. He looks at the two colts a bit nervous.

"H-hi! My name-"

"Weird stupid furry dragon?" One of the colts says laughing harshly.

DemiSpike's eyes widen upon hearing this. His worst nightmare had come true once again. DemiSpike tries to step aside and walk away. One of the colts pushes him back preventing him from doing so though.

"Not so fast stupid furball!" The other colt says laughing. The other one joining in.

DemiSpike eyes tear up more and more with each insult. His fur is one of his most sensitive spots to make fun of. It doesn't help that his fur is also one of his biggest insecurities.

"He's gonna cry! He's gonna cry!" one of the colts says making fun of him even more.

The other colt decides to take it a bit too far and starts tugging on DemiSpike's tail.

DemiSpike yelps in pain and tries to take his tail away. The other colt starts laughing at this and continues insulting DemiSpike.

The two colts continue to make fun of him until both colts are grabbed in magic. The two look at each other confused until their eyes meet a heavily pissed-off DemiTwi. They try to play it off as cool once spotting DemiTwi.

"What do you two think you're doing?" DemiTwi says in an angry tone.

"Psssh! We're just uh.."

"We're playing with him!" one colt finishes.

"Not from what I heard. Do you two think I'm a DUMBASS?!" DemiTwi says barely containing her anger anymore.

DemiTwi sets both of the colts on the ground and stares at them now on the verge of letting her anger out.

"I'm gonna count to three and I better not catch you two anywhere in my sight," DemiTwi says.

The two colts now are a bit terrified of DemiTwi. They take DemiTwi's warning and quickly run off not wanting to see what would have happened if they were to have stayed.

DemiTwi takes a deep breath and turns around to see DemiSpike on the ground curled up in a ball pretty upset. DemiTwi trots over to him and stands beside him.

"I wish I never had my fur... everypony is always making fun of me... I-I'm such a weirdo..." DemiSpike says upset.

DemiTwi shakes her head disapprovingly.

"No, you aren't DemiSpike. Believe it or not... I'd love you no matter what. Fur or not. The fur honestly makes you a very special dragon. You shouldn't care about what others have to say. Wanna know why? Because you'll always be awesome in your own way." DemiTwi says.

DemiSpike looks up at her and smiles a bit.

"Fur or not DemiSpike, you're still a dragon." DemiTwi finishes. "Besides! Your fur makes you awesome for hugging!"

DemiTwi hugs him tightly while smiling.

"Thank you, DemiTwi... you're the best mom I've ever had," DemiSpike says.

"Mom? That's new! Hehehe. Love ya too, ya little adorable furball!!" DemiTwi says ruffling his head before hugging him again.

Why should you care if he has fur or not? It's a dragon! Who cares!!
