The Black Tree

Uuuh, i'm so tired right now, let's just get this over with.

---ponyville library---

Three ponies sat around a table in the library.

Fluttershy and Rarity- You know who they are, i'm going to stop explaining who ponies are now.- Had woken up and were tending to Applejack.

Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, and Pinkamena Diane Pie were discussing what to do about the tree.

Spike was getting the lemonade, because Spike is apperently Twilight's slave, and he has no choice.

"If it keeps growing like it did earlier, it might spread seeds, spread across the land, and destroy ponyville, no, ALL OF EQUESTRIA!!!!!" Twilight screamed, obviously panicking at this point. Her mane was frazzled as well.

"I say we just go up to it and kick it's flank!" Said Rinbow.

"Silly Dashie, Trees don't have flanks" Replied Pinkie.

Rarity decided to pipe in at this point. "Why not send a letter to Princess Celestia asking for the elements of harmony."

"Great idea Rarity!" Twilight responded. "We'll send a letter to princess Celestia, she'll send up the Elements of Harmony, and we'll stop the tree. Spike take a letter."

Spike, who was holding the tray with the lemonade on it, which was balanced on a stack of books, replied "Uum, Okay Twilight..." He put the books on the floor and picked up a quill and paper.

"Spike! Don't put books on the floor."

Spike put the books on the table.

"Spike! Organize those books, put them on the shelves."

Spike picked up the books and started walking towards the shelves.

"Spike! What's taking so long? We need to write a letter to the princess.

Spike put the books down and went over to get the quill and paper.

"Spike! Don't put books on the floor."

---2 hours later---

Spike had finally organized all the books and had picked up the paper and quill after Twilight constantly ordered him to go back and forth.

"Finally," Said Twilight "What took you so long?"

"You." Mumbled the disgruntled purple dragon.

"What was that?"

"Nothing."

"Anyways," Stated the leavender mare "Spike, take a letter.

Dear Princess Celestia,

A strange and monstrous tree has started growing in Sweet Apple Acres. It has hurt Applejack and is still growing. We request use of the elements of harmony to defeat this threat to the safety of Equestria. If we don't act soon, it could grow to the size of Canterlot Mountain.

Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle."

"Alright Spike," Said Twilight "Send the letter."

Green flames (Which on an unrelated note are eerily similar to a changeling's) engulfed the letter, which would normally burn it, but Spike is a MAGIC dragon, so it all works out.

"Now what?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

"Now," Replied the lavender Unicorn "We wait."

---A 30 minute timeframe, also known as half an hour, later---

There was a loud knock on the door.

."Spike! Can you get the door?" Shouted Twilight.

The young Dragon walked over to and opened said door, only to be trampled by two royal guards. Said Guards Levitated a box over to Twilight. "Under her royal highness princess Celestia of Equestria's orders," Said one guard "We present these to you." He opened the box, which revealed the elements of harmony.

Twilight took the box into her telekinetic grip. "Thank you sirs, you may go." She said, and the guards left. "Now we just have to wait for Applejack to wake up."

Luckily Applejack was stirring already, though she was...er.....talking in her sleep.

"Gah, killer to-MAY-toes! Saves us, Apple-man!"

---10 minutes later, Sweet Apple Acres orchard---

"KyYeEe."

The Bearers of the Elements of Harmony stood before the tree, The elements themselves where perched upon said ponies' necks (Save for Twilight, Whose element was perched upon her head).

"Ready Girls?" Asked Twilight.

"Ready." The others called out.

They were lifted off the ground, eyes glowing.

The world was cleansed in rainbow light, and only one sound was to be heard.

"kYaAaRrAaAaA!!!!!"

The light faded, and the sound was replaced with another sound.

Crying.
