Chapter 1: Stolen!?

I walked in on an audience with Princess Celsetia and Twilight. I heard them whispering, most likely extremely serious, because I caught tidbits of words like 'stolen' and 'importance'. I tried to leave unnoticed, out of courtesy. I almost made it to the door, but, as clumsy as I am, I ran into a stack of books. They feel with a puff of dust alongside a huge THUD on the hardwood floor. Princess Celestial turned towards the noise, followed by Twilight, and they made a gasping noise simitaniously.

"Oh man I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt you!" I apologized. Twilight gave me a hard stare. I turned away. 'am I going to be fired? Sent back home? My first day, and I already blew it!' I thought to myself. I turned back, only to find that both the Princess and Twilight were smiling at me warmly. "It's alright." Twilight said, "I know you didn't mean to"

Then Princess Celestia approached. Her face was so serious and regal, I almost became terrified. But then she smiled at me. "You must be Twilight's new assistant, Crystal Sky! Pleasure to meet you." she said. Her voice was so enchanting,so inviting, I almost forgot to speak.

"P-pleasure to meet you to, Princess Celestia!" I said, starting to crouch into a bow. But she simply waved her hoof for me to stop.

"Come now, my dear, no need for that! Any friend of Twilight is a friend of mine. Unfortunately, I need to go. We'll discuss more about our...topic, Twilight. It was very nice to meet you, Crystal Sky! I will meet you again!" Celestia said, bowing her head in a goodbye.

" Goodbye Princess! Next week, perhaps?" Twilight said, opening the door for her.

"I'm afraid I have business to take care of next week. I'll send a letter for the next time we meet." Celestia said, walking out the door. Once the doors closed behind her, Twilight turned around and smiled at me. No one spoke for the longest time, it was just her, smiling away, until I nervously spoke.

"Um... Is there anything I can do, Twilight?" I said, hoping to ease the awkwardness.

Twilight's smile wavered, trying to think whether there was anything for me to do, then she got an idea.
"I do know what you can do! You can meet the other ponies in Ponyville!" She said so exuberantly, I got extremely confused. I thought that work would be like, stacking books or something, not meeting ponies. I was happy, but confused. But Twilight obviously saw my confusion, and she told me why.

You need to know every pony here because they come along once in a while so that they can check out books, and I think it would be good if we know everypony's name! Don't you agree?" she asked. I nodded my head quickly. "Yes! Of course! I completely agree!" I said, running out the door.

"I will look forward to talking to you, Crystal Sky!" Twilight shouted.

"Just call me Crystal! I shouted back.

Chapter 2:Potions and Spells

I could say that it was a typical week after that, but then I would be lying.If anything it was LESS than typical, but just downright awesome. If I didn't have as much fun as I had, I probaly would've passed out WAY less from all the "welcome parties" Pinkie Pie threw for me. Twilight barely made me do any real work, and just let me hang out with the other ponies in Ponyville. I became rather close to a rainbow colored pegasus named Rainbow Dash,who loved my cutie mark (a cloud with a crystal in the center), and I helped Fluttershy frequently with the animals. I saw Pinkie Pie rather often, and two other ponies, Applejack and Rarity, were pretty fun to be around as well. I was having a pretty good time in Ponyville, until my fifth day there. That's when things turned for the worst.

I woke up, feeling pretty good that morning. The book I was reading that night was laying on my back, the pages opened on my spot. I gingerly folded the corner of the page an closed it. I then grabbed it and started to go downstairs, flying just slightly above the steps. I then put it back on to the shelf, making sure not to push off the paper numbers that were taped there for organization. As I walked downstairs, I heard the distinct shuffling of quills on parchment that signaled Twilight was awake and already studying. I sighed deeply, wondering whether she would ever stop studying. When I made it to the bottom of the stairs, Spike was the first to notice me.

"Oh! Morning, Crystal!" he said cheerily. I couldn't help but smile slightly from the dragon's perkiness.

"Good morning,Spike. Good morning, Twilight!" I replied sweetly, laughing quietly as the purple unicorn, so absorbed in her studies, jumped from hearing my voice.

"Hey, Crystal! I didn't hear you come downstairs!" Twilight said in suprise. I smiled and walked over to the broom in the corner, sweeping the area. After an errie silence, Twilight spoke.

"Crystal? Can you get me 'Potions and Spells for Home and Trips'? A young unicorn asked it from me yesterday while we were unpacking it. It's on shelf 5," Twilight instructed, still writing. I nodded.

"Of course!" I replied, flying over to where bookshelves 1-10 were, "Let's see...shelf 1,shelf 2, shelf 3, shelf 4, shelf 6, shelf 7..."I started to say, but stopped when I hit seven.

"Wait a minute!",I flew back to the start,"1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10! There isn't...? TWILIGHT!" I shouted. Twilight came rushing over.

"What is it? Something wrong...?" Twilight asked. I pointed at the shelves with my hoof. "Look! Shelf 5 isn't there! It's gone!" I informed. Twilight's face immediatly regestered shock.

"Oh! Oh no! OH NO!!! This is bad, this is bad, this is bad!!!!!" Twilight gasped, "That shelf...Princess Celestia... she trusted me...the Elements! THIS IS SO BAD!" She screamed. I looked at her in shock.

"Wait a minute! You're telling me that something important was up there!?" I said nervously. Twilight nodded frantically. "Yes, VERY VERY important! The book I asked from you was holding the Elements of Harmony in them! Why did I say they would be safer here?!" Twilight said, pacing while I stared at her in shock. Don't get me wrong, everypony by now should know what the Elements of Harmony are, including ponies from Manehatten, like myself. But why in the name of Celestia (literally) would Celestia safeguard the Elements in a library, where ANYPONY could find them?

"Um...Twilight? If you don't mind me asking, why would the princess safeguard the elements here?" I asked quietly. Twilight looked at me in suprise.

"I didn't tell you? Silly me! Well, um...I am one of the Elements of Harmony! So are Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash,Rairity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie!" Twilight said as casually as possible. I now felt like an idiot.

"Oh...um....wow! I...feel like an idiot now!" I said, rolling my eyes. Twilight looked at me in frustration, then continued to pace.

"We need to tell the Elements! AND Princess Celestia! Crystal, do you mind...?" She said. I spread my wings.

"No problem! I'll get there as fast as I can!" I shouted, flying quickly to the door. When I was about to open it, a magical force opened it quickly and caused me to run into the pony who had done so. When I looked up from the ground, I could see a sterline white pony, with both wings and a horn.

"...Twilight!"

Hey guys. I haven't had a lot of time to write on here, between writing a book that I'm planning to get published and a crudload of schoolwork. What sucks is that I CAN'T GET A CHAPTER TO BE 1,000 WORDS LONG!!!!

prolouge: New in Ponyville

"Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie!" was the first thing I heard when I entered Ponyville. I was going to live here, with a pony called Twilight Sparkle as an assistant for her studies, and this was as warm a welcome as I got.

"Um, hello!", I replied, keeping my eyes on the map in front of me as I tried to walk to the library. But Pinkie Pie was quick.

"Let me guess, you're that pony Twilight hired! Crystal Sky! Oh, you're going to love working with her, and those wings will help you a ton with reshelving! Want a cupcake?" she said at hyperspeed, pulling a cupcake out of her bag."Oh, I also know that you're going to love everypony in Ponyville! They're all sweet and kind, just like my cupcake! Do you want it?" Pinkie Pie asked, shoving the cupcake in front of me.

"Uh, no thanks" I said, shoving it back to her. "I'm, um.....in a rush! No time for cupcakes!" I told her, already walking away. "Thank you though!"

Oh, well, ok! I'll see you around Ponyville!"Pinkie screamed at the top of her lungs.I sprinted towards the library, only to run into someone, knocking them off their hooves.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!" I apologized. The pony I knocked down had a light yellow colored body, and a pretty pink mane.

"It's ok." She whispered. She appeared to be extremly shy, with the way she kept her head down.

"What's your name?" I asked her. She seemed easier to communicate with than Pinkie Pie, so I thought, 'Hey, why not?'

"F-Fluttershy," she said in an almost inauduble whisper."My name is Fluttershy."

"nice to meet you. I'm Crystal Sky" I said to her. "And by any chance, do you know where the library is? I need to go there, and I lost my map." Fluttershy slowly pointed her hoof towards a huge tree with a few windows and a huge door.

"thank you! I hope to see you around, Fluttershy!" I said, walking towards the library. "Same to you." I heard Fluttershy say quietly.

After a few quick strides I made it to the library. From inside, I heard two voices talking. It sounded serious, so I wavered opening the door. Then, talking myself into it, I took a huge breath, and opened the doors to my new life
