The Lost Elementsby SpaghettiPieChaptersA Twisted SpellAn Awkward MeetingThe Cupcake StoreBerries Taste GoodThe Book of ElementsThe Book of Elements, againA Twisted SpellA violet unicorn lay rested in a library, everything was subtle and calm, under her own voice she spoke calmly from her readings to a darker violet baby dragon beside her. She coughed quietly to gain his attention from a baby Phoenix. “Spike,” started the unicorn. “it says here that all elements are combined, some are deadly and some are kind. One from each group, all each to their own. But, once a powerful unicorn can uphold this spell, they will slowly begin to rise and plan. If they meet, they bring our illnesses. If they come together as one, the world as we know it will surely be done.” The words echoed the library like the hoots of a nearby owl. The unicorn continued to read softly to the baby dragon, almost careless, unlike herself. “One by one, the tables will turn, each in their mind, their thoughts will burn. For love, for hate, they’ve opened the gate and now will find their way.” The unicorn looked over at the dragon, who wasn’t paying attention. “Spike! This is important, you should be taking notes, Princess Celestia wouldn’t have given this book if it weren’t important!” She stomped her hoof, causing the baby dragon by the name of Spike to jolt up. “Twilight, I’m sure it’s just a gift! I mean, it’s almost Heart’s Warming Eve. She probably just didn’t want it to be late.” He glared softly up at Twilight, the violet unicorn with a magical mark on her hip. “Spike. If you were even paying attention, you would know that they gave a perfect spell, probably works, too!” She stretched up her narrow legs, and stood up softly. “But, I guess it is late. Besides, we already know the elements are working. After that run-in with Discord, they seemed to work fine. Maybe just some type of... Fan Fiction type thing. Written by an extremely talented filly or colt.” “Yeah, maybe.” The dragon huffed slightly, glaring down at his shorter legs, resting by the bird born from flames. He let out a short yawn and then looked up at Twilight, who was tapping her face with her own hoof. “It just doesn’t make sense. Not like it should.” She hummed quietly under her breath and then started to close the leather-bound book slowly, then watching it sit on the floor. She let out a smile and then waved her hoof in front of her face softly. “It has to be some silly little thing. A comedic act from the princess.” There was a slight glow around the lavender horn and the book had the same effect, as it lifted off into the air and fell on a pile of books. It rested on a large story of stories, probably what Twilight would have read later, or has been reading. Waiting to be organized tomorrow. Spike put his fist in the air and stretched out his arms, long but not hitting the floor. He rubbed the back of the baby Phoenix and stood up, smiling softly and walking towards the layers and layers of stairs that led to a small room, and two small beds. One made from fabrics for dogs, which would end up being his own. “Well, Twilight, I’m going to hit the hay.” He said calmly, starting back up to the stairs slowly, leaving an echoing sound of feet tapping on a hardwood floor. “Good night, Spike.” Twilight nodded, and then sat down, looking at the large pile of books. “I just don’t get it, Celestia! Why would you send us a book about what we are, if I am supposed to share this with everyone else. Rarity, Apple Jack, Pinkie Pie, Flutter Shy and Rainbow Dash, I don’t think they’d understand what it means. I don’t even know what it means!” She started to think out loud, almost praying to the princess who lived miles away. “I can have Spike write a letter,” she flattened her ears and looked up the stairwell softly. “he’s resting, though. Or will be, so I can’t wake him up. We will have a very busy morning tomorrow, after all. If this book is important, I will have to share it with everyone. Maybe one of them can make something from it, “I hope.” The Unicorn sighed loudly and stood up restlessly. She tapped her hoof on the ground, as if still in thought for the book. She smiled and then started to laugh a bit. “Oh Twilight, it can’t be too bad.” She turned around and flicked her ear, walking away to the staircase and making her way to her bed room for a good night’s sleep. Author's Note First Book, and already- I don't like the new season. I cancelled it from my mind in total. I'm a huge Lauren Faust fan, and anything her husband takes over it turns out terrible. No offense, Craig. It's true. Well, feel free to leave a comment and I did go through it but only once out loud so forgive my mistakes! An Awkward MeetingThe unicorn from last night, mostly known as Twilight, trotting across a grassy land with dirt paths covering like snow on a field. She was moving closer to an extremely beautiful building, planted with decor and divinity and dignity. Inside the building, beautiful and bright, was a pure white unicorn, with a lovely shade of dark purple; almost blue, mane. Curled around and to match her lovely tail, with a mark of three diamonds. She was looking up at many lines and shades of colors, almost everyone of a rainbow. They didn’t match her literal rainbow dress, which was designed perfectly to match a rainbow, then dropped with a cloud at the very end. The white unicorn was talking, but Twilight couldn’t hear or see who this beauty was talking to. Twilight walked closer to the building and tapped on the door lightly, snorting slightly. “Rarity doesn’t usually have a customer around this time.” She muttered softly to herself. “Rarity, I’m here to tell you about the book, I think it involves the elements.” Twilight called out, she wasn’t afraid to either. It was a proven fact that everyone around this pony town that they were two of the elements of harmony, the only heroes found apart of this. This had the violet unicorn thinking, now. What if this book is suggesting there is going to be an Anti-Element, Twilight started, looking at the door slowly. that would only mean we need to put up another fight! Will they come to us, though? The door opened slowly, and the white unicorn, Rarity, opened her eyes with a smile. “Oh, Twilight! Have you met my new friend? Oh! She just came in Ponyville this night and she was just so exhilarated to meet you! I told her all about our journeys about saving the world and she was just so interested.” She laughed, opening her door widely and waving her hoof to welcome Twilight in the house. “Well, thats nice, Rarity, but,” “Her name is Quicksilver. She’s a scientist, I thought you’d like her.” Rarity pointed her hoof towards a silvery unicorn with bright metallic grey hair. She had almost white eyes, but they were a dark shade of blue. Twilight perked her ears and smiled. “A Scientist? What do you study?” Twilight had been distracted from her question and looked at the metallic pony. Quicksilver smiled softly. “Twilight Sparkle, asking me what I study. I study weather. People say its because I look like rain pouring on a roof,” this statement was very true, and Twilight nodded gently. “others say its because I look like the stuff inside the thermometer.” She looked at her hoofs, which were dressed in pale pink shoes with gems on the tip. Rarity smiled softly and poked her face a bit. “I’m making her a mannequin. She has a very nice look to her, and isn’t she just right about looking like rain?” Quicksilver blushed a bit and looked down at the ground. Quicksilver’s mane dropped in her face. It was very bright, indeed, and had few curls. It was down and looked like tidal waves dropping down, even with the little amount of curls. It went to her knees and was very like, and had matched her tail exactly. “Rarity just likes to compliment me for my shine. I actually wear glasses, its really difficult to see right now, but being a model for Rarity, I guess its worth a shot. Generosity indeed.” Quicksilver started, waving her hoof slowly. She looked over at Rarity, who was folding together another pink rod of color. “Pink is just the perfect color for her,” the snowy unicorn laughed happily. “I just love how her mane makes the color glow. Once people see this advertisement, they’ll be in awe. Quicky, do you have any friends that glow?” “No, sorry, Rarity.” Quicksilver giggled a bit. “As long as I stay in Ponyville, though, I will gladly be a model.” “You’re leaving?” Twilight flicked her ear softly and sat down near the two other unicorns, who were dressing up and preparing with make-up. “Where to?” “Dunno, Twilight. I guess maybe Canterlot.” Quicksilver sighed sharply. She seemed to be slowing down and getting tired of dressing up, Rarity quickly flicked her ears up. “Quicksilver, Twilight said something about a meeting, you can probably help?” Rarity smiled softly, tilting her head and looking patient as she took off Quicksilver’s shoes. “Rarity, that would be a delight, but is it okay with Twilight is my concern. Knowing about all that element stuff, I’m sure you don’t want some silly old science pony trotting about in your business.” Quicksilver snorted impatiently, looking at Rarity and then at Twilight. “I’ve only been here not even a day, I don’t think I’d understand.” “Nonsense, Quicksilver!” Rarity bursted loudly before Twilight could respond with a usual quick retort and drag Rarity along with her. “You would understand enough. I’ve told you just about everything and I would hope that you can understand, knowing how much I do.” Quicksilver coughed softly and then pointed her hoof, now free of the ballet slipper, at Twilight. Twilight was smiling sincerely. “Quicksilver is right, Rarity. We shouldn’t take her, besides this is something only the elements can know about.” Twilight’s horn started to glow softly and out of her saddle bag she pulled a large leather-bound book with golden text. “It’s important for us and only us, being Pinkie, A.J., Rainbow and Flutter Shy.” Rarity moaned softly, flipping her mane back and nodding. “Are we going to meet at the library, I have to finish Quicksilver’s outfit first and I can walk there anyways.” She pulled her hoof out from under her and waved it in the air in front of her face. “We will be meeting in the library,” Twilight started softly then looked over at Quicksilver softly. “sorry for keeping so much information from you. That outfit does look great on you, though.” Twilight brought the book back in her bag and then nodded. Quicksilver shook her head. “Its certainly alright, Twilight. It has been nice meeting you, however and hope to meet you soon again.” She muttered shortly as Rarity came over with a girdle, ready to be tightened to make her look thin. Twilight snickered and nodded. “Have fun!” She called out before opening the door with her magic and leaving. Opal, a pure white cat, swatted at the unicorn’s tail as she left. The Cupcake StoreTwilight had made her way across town, diligently trotting. She looked around the town and used her magic to pull a map from her saddlebag. “Sweet Apple Acres.” She said, even in the town she lived in, a map was good help in finding her way. After putting the map back she continued to trot, passing by a few familiar places like Rose Luck’s corner shop and Carrot Top’s market. Making a deal and buying produce for a few bits, Twilight continued her journey. “Twilight!” A voice called over from a store, waving an orange hoof in the air. A blonde haired earth pony smiled widely. “You wanted to meet at the barn, but ‘ah can’t! Pinkie and ‘ah made plans, but I forgot about it. You wanted to talk to both of us, though, didn’t yah?” Twilight smiled softly and nodded. “Actually, Yes! If only meeting all of you at the same time were possible, the convenience would be amazing.” She trotted closer to the store, the name; “Sugar Cube Corner” was engraved on a piece of wood hanging over the door. “Thanks for understandin’, Twilight. Apple Bloom wanted to have a sleep over and Big Mac is watching over them until I get back. Hope he has some luck with calming them down.” She pulled her hat down over her eyes and then lifted it again. “They said something about getting coffee makin’ cutie-marks.” She winked and then waved her hoof for Twilight to enter the building. “Twilight!” A small pink pony with fluffy, messy hair jumped up from behind the counter. “I’m so super glad you came! Apple Jack told me she had to come down and I remember you saying that you wanted to come over so maybe now we can have a slumber-y slumber party like Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle! If we are, I call dibs on being Scootaloo, she gets to ride a scooter all the scootaloo-dah day!” She breathed in brightly and then looked over at the oven. “The cupcakes are baking, I made these just in case we get an extra order! Or for us.” “Pinkie, Apple Jack, I’m so glad I could be here, and explain this in less time, Rarity already knows.” Twilight hugged the orange pony softly then sat down in a chair, sighing quietly. “See, last night,” her horn glowed again. Pulling the book out once more, and opening it to the right page, she nodded. “Princess Celestia sent me a book, a really interesting one! But, I don’t know what it means and we need to hold a meeting soon.” Apple Jack, the orange pony, tilted her head. “Whats so meaningful about it? What do you think its about?” Twilight looked at Apple Jack and put her hoof on her head, imitating a head-ache. “It says things about elements, and I think it has something to do with our elements. I thought it meant that anti-elements were coming, to take over Equestria or something, but,” “That doesn’t make sense!” The pink pony grumbled softly under her breath. “I’m all about not making sense and I know when something doesn’t make sense.” “What do you mean, Pinkie?” Twilight turned around to face the pink pony, and dropped the book softly on the counter. “Our Elements are working fine!” Pinkie threw her hoof down on the counter. “Maybe it means something like Fire, Water, Earth and Air?” “I don’t think so, there was something in the book saying there were over thirty of them.” Twilight muttered and opened the book. “See?” Pinkie and Apple Jack looked over the book with interest. “Out of all the elements, the strongest of them all is...” Apple Jack glared down at the page and squinted. “potassium. What the hay is a potassium!” “Thats the thing, Apple Jack, I don’t have a clue.” Twilight let out a huff. “Well,” she started up again, “I was hoping we could all meet in the library sometime else, I have to tell Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. Go check on Rarity sometime, too, she met someone named Quicksilver who wanted to help us, but she seemed too...” “Suspicious?” Pinkie lifted her head, tilting it side ways and scowling with confusion. “I met Quicksilver today and she was just so happy to be here! She came in this night, you were asleep and she didn’t want to wake you up.” “Well, yes Pinkie. She did seem a little suspicious. She was nice, though.” Twilight levitated the book into her bag again and then stood up. “Twilight, have you eaten at all today?” Apple Jack stood up, too, walking over to Twilight and putting her hoof on Twilight’s shoulder. “You look hungry.” “I’m a bit too busy, I can grab a sandwich on my way back from Fluttershy’s, I told her to get Rainbow Dash.” “Okay, as long as you get something.” Apple Jack sighed softly. “Bye, Twilight!” Pinkie Pie called through the door as Twilight walked away slowly, off to find the pegasus’s house. Author's Note So many dislikes already, I haven't even gotten to the most important part yet! It will hopefully be in the 5th Chapter, and those of you reading I hope you like it. Trying my best while in school, I shouldn't be doing this but I love it so much. Berries Taste GoodThe same day, Twilight Sparkle managed to trot her way to a dark forest, it was steaming with heat and water, and looked like something from a scary movie. Twilight looked down at her hooves and then shook her head. Memories passed through her now like a ghost solemnly looking for something to prey upon. There was the best memory, though. She was younger and less wise than now, and had no idea how powerful friendship, outside of books, could be. The orange pony had refused to leave her side, while the pink one had said something so childish. She let out a calm chuckle at her memory and walked around the forest. A small cottage on a hill laid in front of the forest, and looked calm and peaceful. Twilight continued to walk on the hill, coming close to the cottage. A creamy, pink haired figure crawled up behind the window and waved softly. As Twilight reached the house, she moved to the door, where the cream coated pegasus waited. “Oh, Twilight.” She muttered, her voice was extremely quiet with a silk touch against the ear. “Twilight, I’m glad you came. Rainbow Dash was just about to leave, she said that you were being too busy with Rarity, Apple Jack and Pinkie Pie. I didn’t know when you were coming so I tried to keep her to stay.” “It would be alright, Flutter Shy,” Twilight started, walking in softly. She turned her head to see a blue, rainbow maned, maroon eyed pegasus. “if Rainbow wanted to leave, you could have let her.” Twilight sat down beside the pegasus, upside down on a tan couch. “See?” She growled silently, jumping up from the couch and flying softly around the house. Inside of it was many animals, from mice to monkeys, from ducks to dogs, and a pure white bunny named Angel, Flutter Shy’s pet rabbit. She treats Angel with most care from all the animals. “Flutter Shy, you could have let me go, I need to train a bit harder.” She flew backwards and nudged Twilight. “I got a new move. I can’t rely on the old Sonic Rainboom to get the Wonderbolts’ attention!” She flew down onto the couch and looked at Twilight. “I was thinking of twirling around a cloud and then going through it, with a little help from you we can make it snow as soon as I go through it!” Twilight smiled softly, feeling confused about the concept, but continued to listen. “Then, I would slam into it again and as soon as I do you can make it rain, coming out of the giant cloud, swelled with hail and myself,” The Blue pegasus flew up into the sky, twirling, although avoiding the ceiling. “Cheering! An explosion of color as I dash down and touch the stands, trotting with pride as my mane spreads rainbows across their faces! Rainbows of joy and amusement, nobody would ignore me anymore. Spitfire would be forced to put me in and you, Twilight Sparkle, could be my very own assistant.” “Rainbow, I would be honored, but we have something really important to talk about now,” Twilight smiled and then used her magic to pull the book from her Saddle Bag. “this book holds a secret we need to figure out.” Flutter Shy, flattened her ears and trotted towards the pair. “The royal we, or us three, or the Elements?” “The Elements, Flutter Shy. It’s important because it says something about us, and our only clue is potassium. I don’t even know what it is, and I can’t ask Celestia, she was the one who gave me the book. She might understand-” “But Twilight Sparkle doesn’t want the Princess to know that she can’t get it.” Rainbow Dash said smugly and then laughed, out stretching her hoof. “I’ve got this. We need a rope, a flower, a flower pot and Flutter Shy.” “What are you talking about, Rainbow Dash?” Twilight turned her head, and then put the book down. “Potassium. Pot. Flower pots, something we need inside of it is a flower. Tass, I would guess rope. Lastly, Um. Flutter Shy goes um all the time.” Rainbow Dash nodded. “I’d say you need to make a potion to get things started.” “No, Rainbow. That’s not what it means. Read it, I don’t think kindness would be the only element.” Twilight pointed towards the book and sighed slightly. Rainbow Dash read a line from the book, tilting her head with confusion. She lifted her head and look towards Twilight. “I don’t know,” she sat back again and then sighed. “I just think that we need more help. Just ask the princess.” “Rainbow, Celestia gave me the book. She didn’t know, obviously.” Twilight rebutted and put the book back in her saddle bag. “Twilight?” The soft voice of Flutter Shy came slowly from a distance, acting like a variable to calm to equation. “Maybe if Princess Celestia gave it to you, you can ask Luna. She might know.” Twilight tapped her hoof on her chin, then thought for a few seconds. “You’re right, Flutter Shy. But when are we going to make the time to go to Canterlot. The train came in last night, it wont come back for a while.” Rainbow Dash flicked her ear. “Spike can write to Celestia requesting a chariot? Flutter Shy and I can drive it.” “But for what reason would we want to go down there?” Twilight sighed reluctantly. “A friendly check-up on your brother and Cadence?” Flutter Shy muttered softly. There was a long, hesitant pause. “I suppose that should do.” Twilight started, thinking softly. A loud crash against the window and there was a pale green pegasus with scruffy brown hair. “Hey!” They said, male from the sound of their voice. “This is a house. In a forest. Do you have any damn berries?” Flutter Shy flattened her ears as the many animals were scared off into holes and rooms. Even a doe ran up the stairs and tucked themselves away in a room. “Berries?” “Yeah, berries. I was just down at that really weird place, in the town, there were two ponies. Frantically talking about how their precocious little fillies can’t possible ever go near the stove. The stallion, oh my, was he hoping about and the mare. What a mess- she couldn’t help but yell out a window towards me. Then they had a scruffy little pink one come out to help me. She didn’t do much and all I wanted was a cupcake! Can you believe it?” They took in a large breath and then started to talk again. “I said to them all I wanted was a berry-licious cupcake, but oh no. No, they were out of berries and told me that if I can find some berries for them then they would make the damn thing for me. Nothing. All the stores were out and someone said to check here in the house in the woods.” Flutter Shy walked closer to the window and opened it. “I’m glad that wasn’t muffled. Come in, please? I’m sure Angel Bunny wouldn’t mind sharing some blue berries. What’s your name?” “The name’s Berryl, kind of like Berry Ill. Everyone says it like this; Bear-E-el. Either way is cool, but whatever you choose it’s probably going to bother me. I don’t like it when people say my name, in fact, I think my name is a burden to everyone! Like everyone else’s name. What is yours then, so I can have the honor of making fun of it?” Berryl snickered, shoving aside his handsome mane. “My name is Flutter Shy. Over there is Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle.” Flutter Shy let her pink mane drop into her own face. “Mmhmm.” Berryl started. “Flutter Shy is already a bad name, enough. Seems as though it fits you. Long drafty mane in your face, tail extensions, sickly pale coat, soft eyes and a voice that can’t do much. I see why you hang about these animals.” Flutter Shy was dumbstruck. She flattened her ears and started to whimper a bit, her head lowering and her mane going to cover her large eyes, watering. “Hey!” Rainbow Dash shouted, flying up with rage and zooming towards the innocent cream pony. “You don’t deserve to call Flutter Shy anything! Why don’t you get out of her house!” “Oh, Rainbow maned. You must be Rainbow Dash. Certainly seems like it with a speed rage of a lot. Too bad, she invited me in and hasn’t invited me out. She seems too upset to say anything to me. Must hurt, to have weak little friends who wouldn’t stand up for you if you were hurt. Not like you could, your ego must be enormous. Does it have it’s own trailer, I don’t see it anywhere!” Berryl snickered, walking closer to a different room, a kitchen filled with smaller animals. “How about a trailer for your fat mouth?” Rainbow Dash stomped down her hoof, snorting with rage. “Rainbow!” Twilight shouted, sticking her hoof out to stop the pegasus from talking any further. “I can get him out with a spell. He’ll leave with reason, probably.” She trotted in front of Rainbow Dash and Flutter Shy (who was on the edge of crying), and walked to the kitchen with Berryl. “Berry Ill?” Twilight spoke up, flicking her ear as she looked for the flying monster who had broken the most innocent pony’s heart. “Can we talk?” “Depends.” A voice floated down from the ceiling. “What do you want to talk about?” Twilight looked up to see the pale green pegasus sitting down on a hook, glaring with interest, his dark brown eyes gleaming softly with a porcelain smile crossed on it. His cutie-mark was clear, now. Berryl must have been a miner pony, with emeralds for his cutie-mark. She sat down facing him. “Would you like to come down here.” “No.” He flicked his ear. “Would you like to come up here?” “How would that be possible, I’m a unicorn, I can’t fly.” Twilight sighed. “I would prefer it if you came down here and talked with me. “Come on.” He sighed. “Whats good with life in the light, how about life into night?” He started a small rhyme, starting to fly down calmly. Twilight smiled as he sat down beside her, she opened her mouth to talk. “You know, your mane is really pretty.” He said, putting his hoof on the back of her head. “Its a shame that your head is filled with wisdom instead of more pretty.” “Being prettier.” Twilight corrected. “And, Thank you.” She blushed a bit, putting her hoof down. “I should get going.” Berryl stood up, threw his mane back and jumped up, his wings spreading widely with a smooth smile. He flew from the kitchen door, a shout from Rainbow Dash could be heard from the kitchen, and the opening of the door. Berryl left. Twilight stood up, sighing slightly and then walked away to the living room. “I told you,” she started, holding her hoof up to her chest and smiling. “it took reason and logic. Not brute force.” Rainbow Dash snorted. “Now your sounding just like Rarity, besides, he might just have needed to calm down after being challenged.” Flutter Shy drooped her head and sniffled a bit. Twilight walked over to the two and lifted up Flutter Shy’s head. “He didn’t mean it. The way he was insulting everyone, he probably just isn’t used to meeting ponies that are kind. He could have had a crushing filly-hood.” She smiled softly, Flutter Shy sniffled a little bit. The animals started to come back, and some went near Flutter Shy and chittered softly. Twilight nodded, and then sat down. “So, how about that meeting?” Flutter Shy nodded. “We can go, right Rainbow Dash?” “Mmhmm.” Author's Note This will be edited soon, I swear on it. I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been doing important things and writing doesn't cross my mind. I will try to get this edited on Friday. Excuse my absences. The Book of ElementsA large rounded table, floated gently in the sky. It was almost weightless as Twilight carried it with her magic. She rotated it a few times, although it was round it still needed to have a certain way for the legs to be facing, and placed it down. Twilight put her hoof on her head and moaned. “Spike,” Twilight spoke calmly, turning her head. “can you bring the chairs in?” “Sure, Twilight! Hey, is that new pony, Quicksilver, coming? I heard that she is smart, she could help.” The purple baby dragon smiled, dragging a chair slowly into the room. The chair was beautiful, with a wooden frame and a red seat on it. “No, Spike. This is all strictly Element business. I can’t be responsible for dragging in innocent ponies who don’t have a clue to what it means. They could get hurt.” Twilight levitated another chair, exactly the same as the other one, into the room and placed it down. “She’s a unicorn, isn’t she?” Spike said, placing the chair down and trying to make it look perfect. “Yes, Spike.” Twilight nodded, levitating another chair. “I still can’t be responsible for anypony getting injured. What would Princess Celestia say?” “I don’t know, Twilight. If it could help save the world-” “One pony can be saved if we don’t drag them in!” Twilight snapped, dropping the chair down angrily. “Spike, I don’t see why you have to be so persistent. Just let it be.” Twilight looked to her left to see the fallen chair and sighed calmly. She levitated it up again and placed it beside the others. The room became quiet as the chairs were put into their proper places. Spike would wobble to work, dragging chairs. Twilight would use her magic with ease to bring it to the table. There was a knock on the door. Twilight let out a slight yawn and then walked over to the door, going around the table. “Hello? Who is it?” She smiled, hoping to hear the voices of her dear friends. “Quicksilver, dear.” A voice like fog rolled in and left a soft echoing ring. “I came to talk about this meeting, the one you are holding for the elements?” Twilight flicked her ear and then opened the door softly. “Yes, Quicksilver? What about it?” “Well, Rarity told me more about your talents. I was wondering if I could read that book for a while.” Quicksilver smiled softly, tilting her head and batting her eyes. “I don’t know, Quicksilver. It would be a lot for you to take in. Rarity has her was of, expanding, the truth.” Twilight scuffed her hoof on the ground, thinking softly. “Oh, Twilight Sparkle. I can pay you back. It isn’t like I can get gifts from the Princess, and I just moved here. I could be your best friend forever.” She, Quicksilver, waved her hoof in the air softly, before turning around and seeing Rarity, along with Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. “Quicksilver?” Rarity smiled softly, flicking her ear. “I haven’t seen you since last night.” Pinkie Pie tilted her head, with a new mane style and mascara on. She looked over at Twilight and smiled widely. “Twilight, Rarity helped me with a new mane style. Very pretty, right?” The mane style, in fact, was extremely similar to Rarity’s. Fluttershy’s did, too. Twilight laughed a bit. “What?” Rarity snorted, smiling. “I thought the look should spread so I can make a fashion statement. Then, when I change it, my mane will be most original.” “I’m hoping you won’t copy Carrot Top’s mane. Then you’d have to dye it orange.” Twilight joked softly. Nobody really laughed, and Rarity let out a disgusted snort. “Like I would dye my mane. At least Pinkie and Fluttershy had common sense not to ask for that. It ruins that natural look.” Rarity retorted, flattening her ears and pushing her hoof against her own chest. Pinkie Pie smiled and then looked over at Quicksilver. “Whoa!” She gasped loudly. “You really do have a pretty mane!” Pinkie Pie laughed brightly and then shook her head (like a dog), releasing her mane of the tight, curly pull and it had went back to it’s normal style of a fluffy mess, curling a bit at the tip. Fluttershy walked up to Quicksilver and smiled, responding to the glory of Quicksilver’s bright mane. “Rarity told us it was pretty, but that was an understatement. Your mane is beautiful.” Quicksilver smiled slightly. “Why, Thank you. I always get those type of compliments at the weather department,” A flash of a blue pegasus went around the library and halted to a direct stop in front of Rarity. “Sorry if I’m late,” Rainbow Dash started. “I was practicing my new tricks.” “As I was saying,” Quicksilver pointed her hoof at her mane with a smile. “at the weather department, I get those type of compliments all the time. I just wish the ponies would stick around, not because of my beauty, but because of my intellect.” Rainbow Dash perked her ears. “Weather department?” She stated quickly. “Only pegasi can work at the weather department.” Rainbow Dash snorted slightly, waving her wings slowly and resting them after a while. “I know, but, some stallions like to carry me up to the department and then I put a little enchantment on myself. Gives me a headache, but at the end of the day I’m proud to say I can help these little towns find out when they can party and when they can’t.” Quicksilver replied with a smile, putting her hoof down and walking near Rainbow Dash calmly. “You must be the loyal Rainbow Dash, I’m sure you have heard about me.” Rainbow Dash flicked her ear with a confused look on her face. “Not really. A little bit from Apple Jack,” “Oh.” Quicksilver snorted in disgust. “Anyways,” she turned around and looked back at Twilight. “Twilight, how about the book?” Her pupils became softened and large, as she looked up softly with a smile that rode her face. Twilight huffed slightly. “I don’t know.” Finding it hard to say no, she had sighed slightly and levitated the book over, it glistened as the magic forming around it dragged it out of the leather bag and heaved it through the open air. A short way to travel, and leaving it’s home to see the dark blue magic from Quicksilver activated. “I promise I will take good care of it.” Quicksilver nodded happily. “If I figure anything out, Twilight Sparkle, I will tell you and your elements. Have fun, everyone.” As Quicksilver turned around with the book magically held in the air, she bumped into Apple Jack and laughed, saying her sorries and then going on her way. “Is that the elements book, Twi?” Apple Jack spoke smoothly with her country strung voice. “Yes,” Twilight started calmly. “Quicksilver said she wanted to read a bit on it. If she can figure anything out, she’ll tell us." There was a long pause. "I hope nothing happens to it.” Rarity budged her way in. “Quicksilver is a master of organization, Twilight. She would never lose an object in her possession.” “I hope your right, Rarity.” Twilight tapped her hoof on her face. “Well, come in girls, we should start this meeting now. We can still discuss the elements even without the book. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy gave me a good idea, anyways.” The ponies entered the room carefully. “Take a seat, everyone. We’ll get down to business.” Twilight’s voice came from the door. Author's Note I tried to fix all my Flutter Shy mistakes, if I didn't I'm sorry. /P.S. Thanks for reading and watching, it really isn't that good compared to other's. The Book of Elements, againQuicksilver used her magic, levitating a small book with a leather binding. “Must run, got to get home!” She yelled at herself, trotting at a rapid speed of running. The wider strides made her go farther, and faster. A slight pegasus flew beside her as she ran. “What have you got there, Quicky?” The handsome voice of a familiar pegasus edged against her ears while she ran. “You pegasi have it easy,” Quicksilver yelled angrily, “getting to fly everywhere. Unicorns can’t just fly away somewhere, and teleportation spells are extremely difficult.” She started to pant, feeling her legs become weak and frail. “Well, do you need a lift?” “I don’t know, can you pick me up?” Quicksilver snapped angrily at the voice, flying high and fast. Quicksilver started to slow down, breathing hoarsely. “Berry ill, it would be helpful.” The flying pale green pegasus laughed and nodded. “Alright, Quicksilver. Your house is where again?” He grinned, picking up the mare by her waist and flying smoothly. “The apartment house they built. You live beside me.” Quicksilver growled a bit. “I got the book, by the way. Do you think we can find any information?” “Yeah.” Berryl snickered. “We are both scientists. It will be easy to figure it out.” He lifted the body weight up into the sky, spiraling around and laughing as Quicksilver’s mane waved like a flag in the morning sky. “Sure, but, remember, Twilight Sparkle didn’t figure anything out. She spends all her time reading books and clutching them like a stallion clutches a mare’s hoof in love. She’s obsessed!” Quicksilver said angrily, flattening her ears. “She’s intelligent, Quicksilver. Even without her books, she has a form of intellect that others just don’t understand. She could be used with help.” Berryl said, flattening his ears as Quicksilver’s mane flowed onto his face. “Would you mind putting your hair up ever?” He growled aggressively. “You just think that. She’s just an idiot who is praised by the Princess. The Princess doesn’t even know we exist. Keep it that way, will you?” Quicksilver snorted, rolling her eyes. “Fine, I just want her to know that I didn’t have a part in this. When I saw her,” Berryl started with a light smile that glowed like a firefly. “I knew of her astuteness, just by her violet eyes. The magic she could have. We could have. You mock her for reading many books, Quicky. When was the last time you picked up a book?” Quicksilver coughed and pointed at the magic ring around her horn. “I am right now, aren’t I?” She snorted. “Besides, you can’t love her. We all know who she loves.” “Who?” “The Princess. It is apparent that she has deep feelings for the royalty.” Quicksilver rolled her eyes. “Gender doesn’t matter in this town like it does in Canterlot. The bunch of snobs, instantly think that we are mates. I wouldn’t mate with you in a million of years, I wouldn’t with any stallion.” “Any mare?” Berryl snickered openly, waving his wings slowly as they neared a large building, it looked like a more busy town than Ponyville, but it was just an expansion of it they made. It was like Pony City, but still Ponyville. Quicksilver’s pupils widened and she coughed loudly. “What is your problem? You know that I don’t ever plan to mate, with anypony!” She brushed her mane back. Her face a deep red that glowed like a ruby. Berryl snorted and then swooped down onto a balcony. “This is your room, right?” He flicked his ear with interest. “Mmhmm.” Quicksilver trotted down and opened the two glass doors. “I got the presidential room, I said I was lost and needed a room to stay in. The stallion, or colt, at the front was in awe for my mane. He was young. Younger than you. Looked like he just came out of a High School.” “So you went all sexy?” Berryl snickered. “Yes, I do what I can to get what I want.” Quicksilver nodded and walked into the living room, made with white carpets and blue walls. A large round table with a cloth on it lay as a coffee table and there was a few science books on it. She dropped the leather-bound elements book on the others and poked it open. “Sure. You just wanted someone to compliment your mane.” Berryl muttered under his breath and brushing his backwards, groaning on the messy style is upheld. “No, Berry. See, I just needed this for most privacy. I knew I could grab this book once I heard the celestial star speaking about it. Twilight Sparkle is easy to read through, like her own books.” Quicksilver nodded with joy, Berryl snorted. “Her books, easy to read? Lets see you read this one, then.” Berryl flicked his ear, walking in the room with a curious look placed on his face. There was also a cross version of smug, pride and hatred. Quicksilver nodded, and looked down into the book. She let out a dark cough. “All the elements are pure substances. There is not a single one that is a compound or a mixture, but together that is what they can make. From the sand on the ground, and the water that we drink, those are all made from elements. The air that we breath, is an element, too. A mixture of Nitrogen and Oxygen. The items in a balloon is made from helium, another element.” Quicksilver flicked her ear, too. “Maybe Twilight Sparkle just read the beginning, and never got to finish the book. This is near the ending, and that might be a reason she didn’t want to give me the book.” Berryl perked his ears tightly. “You stole this from her? What about not being a bleep on Celestia’s map?” He shouted angrily, his hoof stomping in unison as his voice boomed. “Shut up, Berry. I didn’t take it from her. I said I would give it back, anyways. Not like she needs a new book, she lives in a library. Just get her to read some Harry Trotter and she’ll forget about everything.” Quicksilver sighed, and rolled her eyes. She started to read again. “There are also eleven types of elements, like Metals, Non-Metals, Liquids and...” “I’m just going to skip this part, it can’t be too vital to the research.” Quicksilver muttered, flipping the page. Berryl nodded slightly, and he started to read now. “This table, also known as the ‘Periodic Table of Elements’ shows most all information on the elements.” They both stopped. Quicksilver squinted her eyes and tilted her head. “I can’t read it.” She growled quietly. “It’s smudged, like someone died while writing this. Do you think it is a Starswirl the Bearded? They say he died while writing one of his books.” Berryl shrugged, then pressed his hoof against the page. “I’d say it can’t be. Starswirl had messy hoof-writing, or so my mentor said, and this is extremely neat and readable. It makes sense, too. Starswirl mostly wrote about spells.” “There is a spell, look.” Quicksilver’s horn glowed softly and flipped the pages of the book. There was an engraved spell on one of the pages. “So, it could have been Starswirl’s mentor or Starswirl’s apprentice, but either way, it screams Starswirl.” “We should bring this back, we can work on this without the book, Quicksilver.” Berryl sighed, closing the book softly. “I can do the task, you should stay here and think about it some more. I would rather go out and cause some chaos, anyways.” He smiled as he picked up the book and wrapped his tail around it. “Fine, Berry Ill, but it better not take you too long, I’m not waiting here for an hour.” Quicksilver snorted with an upset look on her face. “And,” She started up again after a minute of waiting. “If I hear news of a pale green, brown eyed, emerald cutie-marked pegasus flirting with Twilight Sparkle,” Berryl interrupted quickly. “You wont.” After stomping his hoof, and glaring Quicksilver with challenge, he took off in a flash of green, his wings tearing at the air. Quicksilver sighed, flattening her ears and walking away to the couch. Resting her body on the leather looking material, she shut her eyes and muttered quietly to herself. Author's Note Again, this will be edited soon. I'm just tired. /P.S. Thanks, OpalBerries and SlipperPutty, for the reviews and helping me edit. I'm a generally hurry-up person who hates fixing my mistakes, and it just helps when someone is pushing me to fix them.
A Twisted SpellA violet unicorn lay rested in a library, everything was subtle and calm, under her own voice she spoke calmly from her readings to a darker violet baby dragon beside her. She coughed quietly to gain his attention from a baby Phoenix. “Spike,” started the unicorn. “it says here that all elements are combined, some are deadly and some are kind. One from each group, all each to their own. But, once a powerful unicorn can uphold this spell, they will slowly begin to rise and plan. If they meet, they bring our illnesses. If they come together as one, the world as we know it will surely be done.” The words echoed the library like the hoots of a nearby owl. The unicorn continued to read softly to the baby dragon, almost careless, unlike herself. “One by one, the tables will turn, each in their mind, their thoughts will burn. For love, for hate, they’ve opened the gate and now will find their way.” The unicorn looked over at the dragon, who wasn’t paying attention. “Spike! This is important, you should be taking notes, Princess Celestia wouldn’t have given this book if it weren’t important!” She stomped her hoof, causing the baby dragon by the name of Spike to jolt up. “Twilight, I’m sure it’s just a gift! I mean, it’s almost Heart’s Warming Eve. She probably just didn’t want it to be late.” He glared softly up at Twilight, the violet unicorn with a magical mark on her hip. “Spike. If you were even paying attention, you would know that they gave a perfect spell, probably works, too!” She stretched up her narrow legs, and stood up softly. “But, I guess it is late. Besides, we already know the elements are working. After that run-in with Discord, they seemed to work fine. Maybe just some type of... Fan Fiction type thing. Written by an extremely talented filly or colt.” “Yeah, maybe.” The dragon huffed slightly, glaring down at his shorter legs, resting by the bird born from flames. He let out a short yawn and then looked up at Twilight, who was tapping her face with her own hoof. “It just doesn’t make sense. Not like it should.” She hummed quietly under her breath and then started to close the leather-bound book slowly, then watching it sit on the floor. She let out a smile and then waved her hoof in front of her face softly. “It has to be some silly little thing. A comedic act from the princess.” There was a slight glow around the lavender horn and the book had the same effect, as it lifted off into the air and fell on a pile of books. It rested on a large story of stories, probably what Twilight would have read later, or has been reading. Waiting to be organized tomorrow. Spike put his fist in the air and stretched out his arms, long but not hitting the floor. He rubbed the back of the baby Phoenix and stood up, smiling softly and walking towards the layers and layers of stairs that led to a small room, and two small beds. One made from fabrics for dogs, which would end up being his own. “Well, Twilight, I’m going to hit the hay.” He said calmly, starting back up to the stairs slowly, leaving an echoing sound of feet tapping on a hardwood floor. “Good night, Spike.” Twilight nodded, and then sat down, looking at the large pile of books. “I just don’t get it, Celestia! Why would you send us a book about what we are, if I am supposed to share this with everyone else. Rarity, Apple Jack, Pinkie Pie, Flutter Shy and Rainbow Dash, I don’t think they’d understand what it means. I don’t even know what it means!” She started to think out loud, almost praying to the princess who lived miles away. “I can have Spike write a letter,” she flattened her ears and looked up the stairwell softly. “he’s resting, though. Or will be, so I can’t wake him up. We will have a very busy morning tomorrow, after all. If this book is important, I will have to share it with everyone. Maybe one of them can make something from it, “I hope.” The Unicorn sighed loudly and stood up restlessly. She tapped her hoof on the ground, as if still in thought for the book. She smiled and then started to laugh a bit. “Oh Twilight, it can’t be too bad.” She turned around and flicked her ear, walking away to the staircase and making her way to her bed room for a good night’s sleep. Author's Note First Book, and already- I don't like the new season. I cancelled it from my mind in total. I'm a huge Lauren Faust fan, and anything her husband takes over it turns out terrible. No offense, Craig. It's true. Well, feel free to leave a comment and I did go through it but only once out loud so forgive my mistakes!
An Awkward MeetingThe unicorn from last night, mostly known as Twilight, trotting across a grassy land with dirt paths covering like snow on a field. She was moving closer to an extremely beautiful building, planted with decor and divinity and dignity. Inside the building, beautiful and bright, was a pure white unicorn, with a lovely shade of dark purple; almost blue, mane. Curled around and to match her lovely tail, with a mark of three diamonds. She was looking up at many lines and shades of colors, almost everyone of a rainbow. They didn’t match her literal rainbow dress, which was designed perfectly to match a rainbow, then dropped with a cloud at the very end. The white unicorn was talking, but Twilight couldn’t hear or see who this beauty was talking to. Twilight walked closer to the building and tapped on the door lightly, snorting slightly. “Rarity doesn’t usually have a customer around this time.” She muttered softly to herself. “Rarity, I’m here to tell you about the book, I think it involves the elements.” Twilight called out, she wasn’t afraid to either. It was a proven fact that everyone around this pony town that they were two of the elements of harmony, the only heroes found apart of this. This had the violet unicorn thinking, now. What if this book is suggesting there is going to be an Anti-Element, Twilight started, looking at the door slowly. that would only mean we need to put up another fight! Will they come to us, though? The door opened slowly, and the white unicorn, Rarity, opened her eyes with a smile. “Oh, Twilight! Have you met my new friend? Oh! She just came in Ponyville this night and she was just so exhilarated to meet you! I told her all about our journeys about saving the world and she was just so interested.” She laughed, opening her door widely and waving her hoof to welcome Twilight in the house. “Well, thats nice, Rarity, but,” “Her name is Quicksilver. She’s a scientist, I thought you’d like her.” Rarity pointed her hoof towards a silvery unicorn with bright metallic grey hair. She had almost white eyes, but they were a dark shade of blue. Twilight perked her ears and smiled. “A Scientist? What do you study?” Twilight had been distracted from her question and looked at the metallic pony. Quicksilver smiled softly. “Twilight Sparkle, asking me what I study. I study weather. People say its because I look like rain pouring on a roof,” this statement was very true, and Twilight nodded gently. “others say its because I look like the stuff inside the thermometer.” She looked at her hoofs, which were dressed in pale pink shoes with gems on the tip. Rarity smiled softly and poked her face a bit. “I’m making her a mannequin. She has a very nice look to her, and isn’t she just right about looking like rain?” Quicksilver blushed a bit and looked down at the ground. Quicksilver’s mane dropped in her face. It was very bright, indeed, and had few curls. It was down and looked like tidal waves dropping down, even with the little amount of curls. It went to her knees and was very like, and had matched her tail exactly. “Rarity just likes to compliment me for my shine. I actually wear glasses, its really difficult to see right now, but being a model for Rarity, I guess its worth a shot. Generosity indeed.” Quicksilver started, waving her hoof slowly. She looked over at Rarity, who was folding together another pink rod of color. “Pink is just the perfect color for her,” the snowy unicorn laughed happily. “I just love how her mane makes the color glow. Once people see this advertisement, they’ll be in awe. Quicky, do you have any friends that glow?” “No, sorry, Rarity.” Quicksilver giggled a bit. “As long as I stay in Ponyville, though, I will gladly be a model.” “You’re leaving?” Twilight flicked her ear softly and sat down near the two other unicorns, who were dressing up and preparing with make-up. “Where to?” “Dunno, Twilight. I guess maybe Canterlot.” Quicksilver sighed sharply. She seemed to be slowing down and getting tired of dressing up, Rarity quickly flicked her ears up. “Quicksilver, Twilight said something about a meeting, you can probably help?” Rarity smiled softly, tilting her head and looking patient as she took off Quicksilver’s shoes. “Rarity, that would be a delight, but is it okay with Twilight is my concern. Knowing about all that element stuff, I’m sure you don’t want some silly old science pony trotting about in your business.” Quicksilver snorted impatiently, looking at Rarity and then at Twilight. “I’ve only been here not even a day, I don’t think I’d understand.” “Nonsense, Quicksilver!” Rarity bursted loudly before Twilight could respond with a usual quick retort and drag Rarity along with her. “You would understand enough. I’ve told you just about everything and I would hope that you can understand, knowing how much I do.” Quicksilver coughed softly and then pointed her hoof, now free of the ballet slipper, at Twilight. Twilight was smiling sincerely. “Quicksilver is right, Rarity. We shouldn’t take her, besides this is something only the elements can know about.” Twilight’s horn started to glow softly and out of her saddle bag she pulled a large leather-bound book with golden text. “It’s important for us and only us, being Pinkie, A.J., Rainbow and Flutter Shy.” Rarity moaned softly, flipping her mane back and nodding. “Are we going to meet at the library, I have to finish Quicksilver’s outfit first and I can walk there anyways.” She pulled her hoof out from under her and waved it in the air in front of her face. “We will be meeting in the library,” Twilight started softly then looked over at Quicksilver softly. “sorry for keeping so much information from you. That outfit does look great on you, though.” Twilight brought the book back in her bag and then nodded. Quicksilver shook her head. “Its certainly alright, Twilight. It has been nice meeting you, however and hope to meet you soon again.” She muttered shortly as Rarity came over with a girdle, ready to be tightened to make her look thin. Twilight snickered and nodded. “Have fun!” She called out before opening the door with her magic and leaving. Opal, a pure white cat, swatted at the unicorn’s tail as she left.
The Cupcake StoreTwilight had made her way across town, diligently trotting. She looked around the town and used her magic to pull a map from her saddlebag. “Sweet Apple Acres.” She said, even in the town she lived in, a map was good help in finding her way. After putting the map back she continued to trot, passing by a few familiar places like Rose Luck’s corner shop and Carrot Top’s market. Making a deal and buying produce for a few bits, Twilight continued her journey. “Twilight!” A voice called over from a store, waving an orange hoof in the air. A blonde haired earth pony smiled widely. “You wanted to meet at the barn, but ‘ah can’t! Pinkie and ‘ah made plans, but I forgot about it. You wanted to talk to both of us, though, didn’t yah?” Twilight smiled softly and nodded. “Actually, Yes! If only meeting all of you at the same time were possible, the convenience would be amazing.” She trotted closer to the store, the name; “Sugar Cube Corner” was engraved on a piece of wood hanging over the door. “Thanks for understandin’, Twilight. Apple Bloom wanted to have a sleep over and Big Mac is watching over them until I get back. Hope he has some luck with calming them down.” She pulled her hat down over her eyes and then lifted it again. “They said something about getting coffee makin’ cutie-marks.” She winked and then waved her hoof for Twilight to enter the building. “Twilight!” A small pink pony with fluffy, messy hair jumped up from behind the counter. “I’m so super glad you came! Apple Jack told me she had to come down and I remember you saying that you wanted to come over so maybe now we can have a slumber-y slumber party like Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle! If we are, I call dibs on being Scootaloo, she gets to ride a scooter all the scootaloo-dah day!” She breathed in brightly and then looked over at the oven. “The cupcakes are baking, I made these just in case we get an extra order! Or for us.” “Pinkie, Apple Jack, I’m so glad I could be here, and explain this in less time, Rarity already knows.” Twilight hugged the orange pony softly then sat down in a chair, sighing quietly. “See, last night,” her horn glowed again. Pulling the book out once more, and opening it to the right page, she nodded. “Princess Celestia sent me a book, a really interesting one! But, I don’t know what it means and we need to hold a meeting soon.” Apple Jack, the orange pony, tilted her head. “Whats so meaningful about it? What do you think its about?” Twilight looked at Apple Jack and put her hoof on her head, imitating a head-ache. “It says things about elements, and I think it has something to do with our elements. I thought it meant that anti-elements were coming, to take over Equestria or something, but,” “That doesn’t make sense!” The pink pony grumbled softly under her breath. “I’m all about not making sense and I know when something doesn’t make sense.” “What do you mean, Pinkie?” Twilight turned around to face the pink pony, and dropped the book softly on the counter. “Our Elements are working fine!” Pinkie threw her hoof down on the counter. “Maybe it means something like Fire, Water, Earth and Air?” “I don’t think so, there was something in the book saying there were over thirty of them.” Twilight muttered and opened the book. “See?” Pinkie and Apple Jack looked over the book with interest. “Out of all the elements, the strongest of them all is...” Apple Jack glared down at the page and squinted. “potassium. What the hay is a potassium!” “Thats the thing, Apple Jack, I don’t have a clue.” Twilight let out a huff. “Well,” she started up again, “I was hoping we could all meet in the library sometime else, I have to tell Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. Go check on Rarity sometime, too, she met someone named Quicksilver who wanted to help us, but she seemed too...” “Suspicious?” Pinkie lifted her head, tilting it side ways and scowling with confusion. “I met Quicksilver today and she was just so happy to be here! She came in this night, you were asleep and she didn’t want to wake you up.” “Well, yes Pinkie. She did seem a little suspicious. She was nice, though.” Twilight levitated the book into her bag again and then stood up. “Twilight, have you eaten at all today?” Apple Jack stood up, too, walking over to Twilight and putting her hoof on Twilight’s shoulder. “You look hungry.” “I’m a bit too busy, I can grab a sandwich on my way back from Fluttershy’s, I told her to get Rainbow Dash.” “Okay, as long as you get something.” Apple Jack sighed softly. “Bye, Twilight!” Pinkie Pie called through the door as Twilight walked away slowly, off to find the pegasus’s house. Author's Note So many dislikes already, I haven't even gotten to the most important part yet! It will hopefully be in the 5th Chapter, and those of you reading I hope you like it. Trying my best while in school, I shouldn't be doing this but I love it so much.
Berries Taste GoodThe same day, Twilight Sparkle managed to trot her way to a dark forest, it was steaming with heat and water, and looked like something from a scary movie. Twilight looked down at her hooves and then shook her head. Memories passed through her now like a ghost solemnly looking for something to prey upon. There was the best memory, though. She was younger and less wise than now, and had no idea how powerful friendship, outside of books, could be. The orange pony had refused to leave her side, while the pink one had said something so childish. She let out a calm chuckle at her memory and walked around the forest. A small cottage on a hill laid in front of the forest, and looked calm and peaceful. Twilight continued to walk on the hill, coming close to the cottage. A creamy, pink haired figure crawled up behind the window and waved softly. As Twilight reached the house, she moved to the door, where the cream coated pegasus waited. “Oh, Twilight.” She muttered, her voice was extremely quiet with a silk touch against the ear. “Twilight, I’m glad you came. Rainbow Dash was just about to leave, she said that you were being too busy with Rarity, Apple Jack and Pinkie Pie. I didn’t know when you were coming so I tried to keep her to stay.” “It would be alright, Flutter Shy,” Twilight started, walking in softly. She turned her head to see a blue, rainbow maned, maroon eyed pegasus. “if Rainbow wanted to leave, you could have let her.” Twilight sat down beside the pegasus, upside down on a tan couch. “See?” She growled silently, jumping up from the couch and flying softly around the house. Inside of it was many animals, from mice to monkeys, from ducks to dogs, and a pure white bunny named Angel, Flutter Shy’s pet rabbit. She treats Angel with most care from all the animals. “Flutter Shy, you could have let me go, I need to train a bit harder.” She flew backwards and nudged Twilight. “I got a new move. I can’t rely on the old Sonic Rainboom to get the Wonderbolts’ attention!” She flew down onto the couch and looked at Twilight. “I was thinking of twirling around a cloud and then going through it, with a little help from you we can make it snow as soon as I go through it!” Twilight smiled softly, feeling confused about the concept, but continued to listen. “Then, I would slam into it again and as soon as I do you can make it rain, coming out of the giant cloud, swelled with hail and myself,” The Blue pegasus flew up into the sky, twirling, although avoiding the ceiling. “Cheering! An explosion of color as I dash down and touch the stands, trotting with pride as my mane spreads rainbows across their faces! Rainbows of joy and amusement, nobody would ignore me anymore. Spitfire would be forced to put me in and you, Twilight Sparkle, could be my very own assistant.” “Rainbow, I would be honored, but we have something really important to talk about now,” Twilight smiled and then used her magic to pull the book from her Saddle Bag. “this book holds a secret we need to figure out.” Flutter Shy, flattened her ears and trotted towards the pair. “The royal we, or us three, or the Elements?” “The Elements, Flutter Shy. It’s important because it says something about us, and our only clue is potassium. I don’t even know what it is, and I can’t ask Celestia, she was the one who gave me the book. She might understand-” “But Twilight Sparkle doesn’t want the Princess to know that she can’t get it.” Rainbow Dash said smugly and then laughed, out stretching her hoof. “I’ve got this. We need a rope, a flower, a flower pot and Flutter Shy.” “What are you talking about, Rainbow Dash?” Twilight turned her head, and then put the book down. “Potassium. Pot. Flower pots, something we need inside of it is a flower. Tass, I would guess rope. Lastly, Um. Flutter Shy goes um all the time.” Rainbow Dash nodded. “I’d say you need to make a potion to get things started.” “No, Rainbow. That’s not what it means. Read it, I don’t think kindness would be the only element.” Twilight pointed towards the book and sighed slightly. Rainbow Dash read a line from the book, tilting her head with confusion. She lifted her head and look towards Twilight. “I don’t know,” she sat back again and then sighed. “I just think that we need more help. Just ask the princess.” “Rainbow, Celestia gave me the book. She didn’t know, obviously.” Twilight rebutted and put the book back in her saddle bag. “Twilight?” The soft voice of Flutter Shy came slowly from a distance, acting like a variable to calm to equation. “Maybe if Princess Celestia gave it to you, you can ask Luna. She might know.” Twilight tapped her hoof on her chin, then thought for a few seconds. “You’re right, Flutter Shy. But when are we going to make the time to go to Canterlot. The train came in last night, it wont come back for a while.” Rainbow Dash flicked her ear. “Spike can write to Celestia requesting a chariot? Flutter Shy and I can drive it.” “But for what reason would we want to go down there?” Twilight sighed reluctantly. “A friendly check-up on your brother and Cadence?” Flutter Shy muttered softly. There was a long, hesitant pause. “I suppose that should do.” Twilight started, thinking softly. A loud crash against the window and there was a pale green pegasus with scruffy brown hair. “Hey!” They said, male from the sound of their voice. “This is a house. In a forest. Do you have any damn berries?” Flutter Shy flattened her ears as the many animals were scared off into holes and rooms. Even a doe ran up the stairs and tucked themselves away in a room. “Berries?” “Yeah, berries. I was just down at that really weird place, in the town, there were two ponies. Frantically talking about how their precocious little fillies can’t possible ever go near the stove. The stallion, oh my, was he hoping about and the mare. What a mess- she couldn’t help but yell out a window towards me. Then they had a scruffy little pink one come out to help me. She didn’t do much and all I wanted was a cupcake! Can you believe it?” They took in a large breath and then started to talk again. “I said to them all I wanted was a berry-licious cupcake, but oh no. No, they were out of berries and told me that if I can find some berries for them then they would make the damn thing for me. Nothing. All the stores were out and someone said to check here in the house in the woods.” Flutter Shy walked closer to the window and opened it. “I’m glad that wasn’t muffled. Come in, please? I’m sure Angel Bunny wouldn’t mind sharing some blue berries. What’s your name?” “The name’s Berryl, kind of like Berry Ill. Everyone says it like this; Bear-E-el. Either way is cool, but whatever you choose it’s probably going to bother me. I don’t like it when people say my name, in fact, I think my name is a burden to everyone! Like everyone else’s name. What is yours then, so I can have the honor of making fun of it?” Berryl snickered, shoving aside his handsome mane. “My name is Flutter Shy. Over there is Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle.” Flutter Shy let her pink mane drop into her own face. “Mmhmm.” Berryl started. “Flutter Shy is already a bad name, enough. Seems as though it fits you. Long drafty mane in your face, tail extensions, sickly pale coat, soft eyes and a voice that can’t do much. I see why you hang about these animals.” Flutter Shy was dumbstruck. She flattened her ears and started to whimper a bit, her head lowering and her mane going to cover her large eyes, watering. “Hey!” Rainbow Dash shouted, flying up with rage and zooming towards the innocent cream pony. “You don’t deserve to call Flutter Shy anything! Why don’t you get out of her house!” “Oh, Rainbow maned. You must be Rainbow Dash. Certainly seems like it with a speed rage of a lot. Too bad, she invited me in and hasn’t invited me out. She seems too upset to say anything to me. Must hurt, to have weak little friends who wouldn’t stand up for you if you were hurt. Not like you could, your ego must be enormous. Does it have it’s own trailer, I don’t see it anywhere!” Berryl snickered, walking closer to a different room, a kitchen filled with smaller animals. “How about a trailer for your fat mouth?” Rainbow Dash stomped down her hoof, snorting with rage. “Rainbow!” Twilight shouted, sticking her hoof out to stop the pegasus from talking any further. “I can get him out with a spell. He’ll leave with reason, probably.” She trotted in front of Rainbow Dash and Flutter Shy (who was on the edge of crying), and walked to the kitchen with Berryl. “Berry Ill?” Twilight spoke up, flicking her ear as she looked for the flying monster who had broken the most innocent pony’s heart. “Can we talk?” “Depends.” A voice floated down from the ceiling. “What do you want to talk about?” Twilight looked up to see the pale green pegasus sitting down on a hook, glaring with interest, his dark brown eyes gleaming softly with a porcelain smile crossed on it. His cutie-mark was clear, now. Berryl must have been a miner pony, with emeralds for his cutie-mark. She sat down facing him. “Would you like to come down here.” “No.” He flicked his ear. “Would you like to come up here?” “How would that be possible, I’m a unicorn, I can’t fly.” Twilight sighed. “I would prefer it if you came down here and talked with me. “Come on.” He sighed. “Whats good with life in the light, how about life into night?” He started a small rhyme, starting to fly down calmly. Twilight smiled as he sat down beside her, she opened her mouth to talk. “You know, your mane is really pretty.” He said, putting his hoof on the back of her head. “Its a shame that your head is filled with wisdom instead of more pretty.” “Being prettier.” Twilight corrected. “And, Thank you.” She blushed a bit, putting her hoof down. “I should get going.” Berryl stood up, threw his mane back and jumped up, his wings spreading widely with a smooth smile. He flew from the kitchen door, a shout from Rainbow Dash could be heard from the kitchen, and the opening of the door. Berryl left. Twilight stood up, sighing slightly and then walked away to the living room. “I told you,” she started, holding her hoof up to her chest and smiling. “it took reason and logic. Not brute force.” Rainbow Dash snorted. “Now your sounding just like Rarity, besides, he might just have needed to calm down after being challenged.” Flutter Shy drooped her head and sniffled a bit. Twilight walked over to the two and lifted up Flutter Shy’s head. “He didn’t mean it. The way he was insulting everyone, he probably just isn’t used to meeting ponies that are kind. He could have had a crushing filly-hood.” She smiled softly, Flutter Shy sniffled a little bit. The animals started to come back, and some went near Flutter Shy and chittered softly. Twilight nodded, and then sat down. “So, how about that meeting?” Flutter Shy nodded. “We can go, right Rainbow Dash?” “Mmhmm.” Author's Note This will be edited soon, I swear on it. I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been doing important things and writing doesn't cross my mind. I will try to get this edited on Friday. Excuse my absences.
The Book of ElementsA large rounded table, floated gently in the sky. It was almost weightless as Twilight carried it with her magic. She rotated it a few times, although it was round it still needed to have a certain way for the legs to be facing, and placed it down. Twilight put her hoof on her head and moaned. “Spike,” Twilight spoke calmly, turning her head. “can you bring the chairs in?” “Sure, Twilight! Hey, is that new pony, Quicksilver, coming? I heard that she is smart, she could help.” The purple baby dragon smiled, dragging a chair slowly into the room. The chair was beautiful, with a wooden frame and a red seat on it. “No, Spike. This is all strictly Element business. I can’t be responsible for dragging in innocent ponies who don’t have a clue to what it means. They could get hurt.” Twilight levitated another chair, exactly the same as the other one, into the room and placed it down. “She’s a unicorn, isn’t she?” Spike said, placing the chair down and trying to make it look perfect. “Yes, Spike.” Twilight nodded, levitating another chair. “I still can’t be responsible for anypony getting injured. What would Princess Celestia say?” “I don’t know, Twilight. If it could help save the world-” “One pony can be saved if we don’t drag them in!” Twilight snapped, dropping the chair down angrily. “Spike, I don’t see why you have to be so persistent. Just let it be.” Twilight looked to her left to see the fallen chair and sighed calmly. She levitated it up again and placed it beside the others. The room became quiet as the chairs were put into their proper places. Spike would wobble to work, dragging chairs. Twilight would use her magic with ease to bring it to the table. There was a knock on the door. Twilight let out a slight yawn and then walked over to the door, going around the table. “Hello? Who is it?” She smiled, hoping to hear the voices of her dear friends. “Quicksilver, dear.” A voice like fog rolled in and left a soft echoing ring. “I came to talk about this meeting, the one you are holding for the elements?” Twilight flicked her ear and then opened the door softly. “Yes, Quicksilver? What about it?” “Well, Rarity told me more about your talents. I was wondering if I could read that book for a while.” Quicksilver smiled softly, tilting her head and batting her eyes. “I don’t know, Quicksilver. It would be a lot for you to take in. Rarity has her was of, expanding, the truth.” Twilight scuffed her hoof on the ground, thinking softly. “Oh, Twilight Sparkle. I can pay you back. It isn’t like I can get gifts from the Princess, and I just moved here. I could be your best friend forever.” She, Quicksilver, waved her hoof in the air softly, before turning around and seeing Rarity, along with Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. “Quicksilver?” Rarity smiled softly, flicking her ear. “I haven’t seen you since last night.” Pinkie Pie tilted her head, with a new mane style and mascara on. She looked over at Twilight and smiled widely. “Twilight, Rarity helped me with a new mane style. Very pretty, right?” The mane style, in fact, was extremely similar to Rarity’s. Fluttershy’s did, too. Twilight laughed a bit. “What?” Rarity snorted, smiling. “I thought the look should spread so I can make a fashion statement. Then, when I change it, my mane will be most original.” “I’m hoping you won’t copy Carrot Top’s mane. Then you’d have to dye it orange.” Twilight joked softly. Nobody really laughed, and Rarity let out a disgusted snort. “Like I would dye my mane. At least Pinkie and Fluttershy had common sense not to ask for that. It ruins that natural look.” Rarity retorted, flattening her ears and pushing her hoof against her own chest. Pinkie Pie smiled and then looked over at Quicksilver. “Whoa!” She gasped loudly. “You really do have a pretty mane!” Pinkie Pie laughed brightly and then shook her head (like a dog), releasing her mane of the tight, curly pull and it had went back to it’s normal style of a fluffy mess, curling a bit at the tip. Fluttershy walked up to Quicksilver and smiled, responding to the glory of Quicksilver’s bright mane. “Rarity told us it was pretty, but that was an understatement. Your mane is beautiful.” Quicksilver smiled slightly. “Why, Thank you. I always get those type of compliments at the weather department,” A flash of a blue pegasus went around the library and halted to a direct stop in front of Rarity. “Sorry if I’m late,” Rainbow Dash started. “I was practicing my new tricks.” “As I was saying,” Quicksilver pointed her hoof at her mane with a smile. “at the weather department, I get those type of compliments all the time. I just wish the ponies would stick around, not because of my beauty, but because of my intellect.” Rainbow Dash perked her ears. “Weather department?” She stated quickly. “Only pegasi can work at the weather department.” Rainbow Dash snorted slightly, waving her wings slowly and resting them after a while. “I know, but, some stallions like to carry me up to the department and then I put a little enchantment on myself. Gives me a headache, but at the end of the day I’m proud to say I can help these little towns find out when they can party and when they can’t.” Quicksilver replied with a smile, putting her hoof down and walking near Rainbow Dash calmly. “You must be the loyal Rainbow Dash, I’m sure you have heard about me.” Rainbow Dash flicked her ear with a confused look on her face. “Not really. A little bit from Apple Jack,” “Oh.” Quicksilver snorted in disgust. “Anyways,” she turned around and looked back at Twilight. “Twilight, how about the book?” Her pupils became softened and large, as she looked up softly with a smile that rode her face. Twilight huffed slightly. “I don’t know.” Finding it hard to say no, she had sighed slightly and levitated the book over, it glistened as the magic forming around it dragged it out of the leather bag and heaved it through the open air. A short way to travel, and leaving it’s home to see the dark blue magic from Quicksilver activated. “I promise I will take good care of it.” Quicksilver nodded happily. “If I figure anything out, Twilight Sparkle, I will tell you and your elements. Have fun, everyone.” As Quicksilver turned around with the book magically held in the air, she bumped into Apple Jack and laughed, saying her sorries and then going on her way. “Is that the elements book, Twi?” Apple Jack spoke smoothly with her country strung voice. “Yes,” Twilight started calmly. “Quicksilver said she wanted to read a bit on it. If she can figure anything out, she’ll tell us." There was a long pause. "I hope nothing happens to it.” Rarity budged her way in. “Quicksilver is a master of organization, Twilight. She would never lose an object in her possession.” “I hope your right, Rarity.” Twilight tapped her hoof on her face. “Well, come in girls, we should start this meeting now. We can still discuss the elements even without the book. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy gave me a good idea, anyways.” The ponies entered the room carefully. “Take a seat, everyone. We’ll get down to business.” Twilight’s voice came from the door. Author's Note I tried to fix all my Flutter Shy mistakes, if I didn't I'm sorry. /P.S. Thanks for reading and watching, it really isn't that good compared to other's.
The Book of Elements, againQuicksilver used her magic, levitating a small book with a leather binding. “Must run, got to get home!” She yelled at herself, trotting at a rapid speed of running. The wider strides made her go farther, and faster. A slight pegasus flew beside her as she ran. “What have you got there, Quicky?” The handsome voice of a familiar pegasus edged against her ears while she ran. “You pegasi have it easy,” Quicksilver yelled angrily, “getting to fly everywhere. Unicorns can’t just fly away somewhere, and teleportation spells are extremely difficult.” She started to pant, feeling her legs become weak and frail. “Well, do you need a lift?” “I don’t know, can you pick me up?” Quicksilver snapped angrily at the voice, flying high and fast. Quicksilver started to slow down, breathing hoarsely. “Berry ill, it would be helpful.” The flying pale green pegasus laughed and nodded. “Alright, Quicksilver. Your house is where again?” He grinned, picking up the mare by her waist and flying smoothly. “The apartment house they built. You live beside me.” Quicksilver growled a bit. “I got the book, by the way. Do you think we can find any information?” “Yeah.” Berryl snickered. “We are both scientists. It will be easy to figure it out.” He lifted the body weight up into the sky, spiraling around and laughing as Quicksilver’s mane waved like a flag in the morning sky. “Sure, but, remember, Twilight Sparkle didn’t figure anything out. She spends all her time reading books and clutching them like a stallion clutches a mare’s hoof in love. She’s obsessed!” Quicksilver said angrily, flattening her ears. “She’s intelligent, Quicksilver. Even without her books, she has a form of intellect that others just don’t understand. She could be used with help.” Berryl said, flattening his ears as Quicksilver’s mane flowed onto his face. “Would you mind putting your hair up ever?” He growled aggressively. “You just think that. She’s just an idiot who is praised by the Princess. The Princess doesn’t even know we exist. Keep it that way, will you?” Quicksilver snorted, rolling her eyes. “Fine, I just want her to know that I didn’t have a part in this. When I saw her,” Berryl started with a light smile that glowed like a firefly. “I knew of her astuteness, just by her violet eyes. The magic she could have. We could have. You mock her for reading many books, Quicky. When was the last time you picked up a book?” Quicksilver coughed and pointed at the magic ring around her horn. “I am right now, aren’t I?” She snorted. “Besides, you can’t love her. We all know who she loves.” “Who?” “The Princess. It is apparent that she has deep feelings for the royalty.” Quicksilver rolled her eyes. “Gender doesn’t matter in this town like it does in Canterlot. The bunch of snobs, instantly think that we are mates. I wouldn’t mate with you in a million of years, I wouldn’t with any stallion.” “Any mare?” Berryl snickered openly, waving his wings slowly as they neared a large building, it looked like a more busy town than Ponyville, but it was just an expansion of it they made. It was like Pony City, but still Ponyville. Quicksilver’s pupils widened and she coughed loudly. “What is your problem? You know that I don’t ever plan to mate, with anypony!” She brushed her mane back. Her face a deep red that glowed like a ruby. Berryl snorted and then swooped down onto a balcony. “This is your room, right?” He flicked his ear with interest. “Mmhmm.” Quicksilver trotted down and opened the two glass doors. “I got the presidential room, I said I was lost and needed a room to stay in. The stallion, or colt, at the front was in awe for my mane. He was young. Younger than you. Looked like he just came out of a High School.” “So you went all sexy?” Berryl snickered. “Yes, I do what I can to get what I want.” Quicksilver nodded and walked into the living room, made with white carpets and blue walls. A large round table with a cloth on it lay as a coffee table and there was a few science books on it. She dropped the leather-bound elements book on the others and poked it open. “Sure. You just wanted someone to compliment your mane.” Berryl muttered under his breath and brushing his backwards, groaning on the messy style is upheld. “No, Berry. See, I just needed this for most privacy. I knew I could grab this book once I heard the celestial star speaking about it. Twilight Sparkle is easy to read through, like her own books.” Quicksilver nodded with joy, Berryl snorted. “Her books, easy to read? Lets see you read this one, then.” Berryl flicked his ear, walking in the room with a curious look placed on his face. There was also a cross version of smug, pride and hatred. Quicksilver nodded, and looked down into the book. She let out a dark cough. “All the elements are pure substances. There is not a single one that is a compound or a mixture, but together that is what they can make. From the sand on the ground, and the water that we drink, those are all made from elements. The air that we breath, is an element, too. A mixture of Nitrogen and Oxygen. The items in a balloon is made from helium, another element.” Quicksilver flicked her ear, too. “Maybe Twilight Sparkle just read the beginning, and never got to finish the book. This is near the ending, and that might be a reason she didn’t want to give me the book.” Berryl perked his ears tightly. “You stole this from her? What about not being a bleep on Celestia’s map?” He shouted angrily, his hoof stomping in unison as his voice boomed. “Shut up, Berry. I didn’t take it from her. I said I would give it back, anyways. Not like she needs a new book, she lives in a library. Just get her to read some Harry Trotter and she’ll forget about everything.” Quicksilver sighed, and rolled her eyes. She started to read again. “There are also eleven types of elements, like Metals, Non-Metals, Liquids and...” “I’m just going to skip this part, it can’t be too vital to the research.” Quicksilver muttered, flipping the page. Berryl nodded slightly, and he started to read now. “This table, also known as the ‘Periodic Table of Elements’ shows most all information on the elements.” They both stopped. Quicksilver squinted her eyes and tilted her head. “I can’t read it.” She growled quietly. “It’s smudged, like someone died while writing this. Do you think it is a Starswirl the Bearded? They say he died while writing one of his books.” Berryl shrugged, then pressed his hoof against the page. “I’d say it can’t be. Starswirl had messy hoof-writing, or so my mentor said, and this is extremely neat and readable. It makes sense, too. Starswirl mostly wrote about spells.” “There is a spell, look.” Quicksilver’s horn glowed softly and flipped the pages of the book. There was an engraved spell on one of the pages. “So, it could have been Starswirl’s mentor or Starswirl’s apprentice, but either way, it screams Starswirl.” “We should bring this back, we can work on this without the book, Quicksilver.” Berryl sighed, closing the book softly. “I can do the task, you should stay here and think about it some more. I would rather go out and cause some chaos, anyways.” He smiled as he picked up the book and wrapped his tail around it. “Fine, Berry Ill, but it better not take you too long, I’m not waiting here for an hour.” Quicksilver snorted with an upset look on her face. “And,” She started up again after a minute of waiting. “If I hear news of a pale green, brown eyed, emerald cutie-marked pegasus flirting with Twilight Sparkle,” Berryl interrupted quickly. “You wont.” After stomping his hoof, and glaring Quicksilver with challenge, he took off in a flash of green, his wings tearing at the air. Quicksilver sighed, flattening her ears and walking away to the couch. Resting her body on the leather looking material, she shut her eyes and muttered quietly to herself. Author's Note Again, this will be edited soon. I'm just tired. /P.S. Thanks, OpalBerries and SlipperPutty, for the reviews and helping me edit. I'm a generally hurry-up person who hates fixing my mistakes, and it just helps when someone is pushing me to fix them.
