Miss Asia's Corner:

Hello mares and gentlecolts, to another chapter of My Little Pony: Next Generation - Elements of Harmony (MLP:NGEOF for short)!

I have managed to upload in a week's time, perhaps, not sure, but I managed at least! Writing this fan fiction has appeared to become easier as I went along with it. I do have a few episodes of writer's block, but I managed to post this up and finish it today because I have some motivation. I really like My Little Pony in general, so yes.

I have also changed the cover. I decided to change two cutie marks on the Elements of Harmony wheel, because they wouldn't work. The heart that existed there is now a rainbow, and the lightning mark is now a majestic song note! Isn't that better? I agree too!

Just wanted to say that I do not claim ownership of any references to MLP:FiM in this. For example, the excerpt I took from the pilot episode of the very first MLP:FiM season is not mine, aside from the small paragraph after it.

Also, here are a few definitions:
-Clopped : Walked, walking, to walk.
-Clop : To clap, an alternative to clap.
-Hoof : Hand, obviously.

Now then, a disclaimer should be here, but it's evident that I claim no ownership to something that is mine. This story is for entertainment purposes only, and I do not wish to sell any of this for a profit.

For those of you who read the fan fiction and would like to review, please remember:

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ONLY, FOALS.

In other news, I uploaded this chapter 11/28/12, and I should be re-uploading once more with chapter 3 by early-mid December. Don't worry, I'll work on it, as long as I can get one review and a single follower, but the follower isn't mandatory!

Please read and review, and enjoy!

Thanks!

Princess Celestia spread her Pegasus wings, using her magic to raise the sun and power it up. She stepped back and turned to her sister, who was surprisingly awake at this time.

"Luna, it's fine," She assured her younger sibling. "You can go to sleep."

"It is not fine, dear sister," Luna contradicted, putting her hoof down. "Queen Malefica will surely rise at this rate. I was lucky enough to seal off a portal where her things would come through. Even then, my soldiers have not returned."

Princess Celestia sighed, stress taking over. Over the centuries she had been the princess of the day, she had only ever come by so much stress, and that was due to a powerful mare of darkness that outmatched Discord's and Nightmare Moon's. Yet, she knew the Elements of Harmony could ultimately thwart the Queen, and send her back to the world she came from.

"The Elements have already been set up in the school auditorium," Celestia explained, walking around Luna and placing a wing on her. She began to lead her younger sister into her chamber.

"No need to worry," She smiled.

"What good would that do?" Luna said, climbing onto her bed and laying down, staring up at the mare before her.

"Do not worry so much about it, sister," Celestia said. "It is day, it is my time of rule, I will not fail you."

Luna sighed, defeated. She nodded, and allowed her ears to droop. Using her unicorn powers, her canopy bed curtains closed. Princess Celestia nodded, and stepped out of The mare of the night's chambers. Celestia spread her wings and beat them, springing into the air and down to the throne room of Canterlot Castle. Entering it, she took her seat, and sighed. She used her own unicorn magic to raise several important papers from her subjects.

Creativity could feel the morning sun spread out from the window above her bed and onto her. She squirmed slightly, knowing that it was time for her to get ready for school. Rising and blinking, she felt the tiredness of the train ride, the small events from yesterday, and that awkward dream she had come at her all at once. Yawning ensued, and she jumped out of bed and in front of the stall room.

Lifting a brush up with levitation, she began to brush her mane, and, since she was just great at multitasking, she also brushed her tail.

"New day, new life, new school," She exhaled. "At least I won't be going alone . . . "

A knock at her door. Creativity already knew who it was. Looking out of the stall room, she used her magic once more to unlock the door and let it flow open. There she was, her new friend, Gleaming Zultinite, or Zully, for short. She stepped in, and smiled.

"G'mornin'," She said, and walked into the stall room.

Creativity noticed that Zully was extremely friendly and enjoyed to invading the personal space of others. She didn't mind, as long as she wasn't reading a really good book.

---

Creativity set her mane and tail brushes down, for organization's sake, in their proper places. She uttered a good morning and took out her toothbrush and toothpaste, brushing her teeth with great power. She always wanted her teeth to stay pearly white, to match her coat.

"C'mon, we gotta get ta' school," Zully said, going into the living room.

Creativity spat into the sink and placed the brush down after rinsing it. She clopped into the kitchen from the living room, taking out a box of Pony Oats.

"I have to eat breakfast first," Creativity said. "It's the most important meal of the day, after all,"

"Enope," Zully suddenly said.

"No?" Creativity repeated, raising a brow.

"They serve breakfast at the new school, c'mon, let's go. Can't be late, can we?"

Breakfast at school? Creativity never heard of that. She always remembered eating breakfast in her house back in Manehatten. She assumed that that's how things worked in Ponyville. Celestia sure was kind to the ponies here.

"Fine," Creativity gave in, placing the box of Pony Oats back into the cabinet and closing it.

Both ponies left the apartments five minutes after. They noticed how several other ponies were walking in the same direction as them, and they all looked about their age. Creativity just walked close to Zully. She didn't want to attract any unnecessary attention. She noticed how everypony she saw was so colorful, and not bland. And, they also looked pretty happy to be attending the new school.

When Creativity and Zully arrived at the school, Creativity just stood there. It was just how the pamphlet has described it, yes. Manicured lawn, amazing buildings. They were giants compared to these tiny ponies.

As the two young mares entered with the other students, each of different shapes, sizes, coat colors, and gender, the auditorium is where they were needed. Because the school was brand new, it was tradition for the Princess of the day to announce the grand opening. Why the Princess of the day? Simple, because school is during the day, and not at night, of course.

The auditorium was wide and steep, but not steep like a mountain. On these floors, a pony could put a hoof down without sliding all the way to the bottom. It was at an angle that made it look steep, but you could still walk just fine.

There were rows of wooden seats with blue cushions from left to right, and even more rows at the bottom. It seemed endless. At the foot of the stage was a divider, and then the stage itself, which seemed to be at least five feet high and many more feet in length.

"Let's take a seat up in front, Creativity," Zully suggested.

Creativity nodded and the two ponies clopped on down the stairs and into the middle room, of the midsections. Other seats were taken by other ponies who had gotten to the school earlier. Apparently, there was only one class today, since Princess Celestia was supposed to attend.

Surely enough, after several minutes of anticipating gossip and whispers, a fanfare rung out. It silenced all the ponies and their chatter, the fanfare a dance like the sun rising and dawn coming. The red velvet curtains parted, and an elegant mare appeared. Fitted with a golden tiara, a golden necklace, pink tinge, a majestic white coat, a beautiful sun cutie mark and a flowing rainbow mane and tail. Her kind, pale pink eyes seemed to be omnipresent everywhere, as her powerful unicorn horn shone. It was true. Princess Celestia was something special, not only because of her authority, but because of her large Pegasus wings at each shoulder, spread out in greeting.

"I would like to congratulate all the ponies in this wondrous chamber, constructed by our very own Construction Stallions," She announced, extending a golden hoof to the male ponies bowing.

The auditorium burst into clops and hoof stomps. Zully joined in, but Creativity didn't. No, she was stuck, mesmerized by the Princess of the day. She never saw such a beautiful mare in her life. She always thought that her mother was gorgeous, but this is on a whole new level of awesomeness.

The Princess rose a hoof, and the auditorium went into deep and fine silence. It was so deep and fine, that it could shatter glass.

"I would also like to praise all you young ponies who have made it here," She began, taking a few steps. "Far and wide, and even nearby, to this grandiose school that, upon decree, was constructed just for the experience of learning, and friendship.

"I would also like to acknowledge our Mayor Mare, who lent a helping hoof in gathering students from across the globe,"

Celestia pointed at an elderly mare with a blue blazer on. Clops instantly began to resonate throughout the auditorium. Whistles, stomps, you name it. It was all there. Creativity joined in on clopping as well, with Zully, overenthusiastic.

"These next, long years here in Ponyvile High School will definitely be a challenging, yet, adventurous trip for you all," Celestia spoke, the auditorium silenced once more. "But please take note, that we are not only here to learn things we must know to make life work, but important morals and the value of friendship,"

Celestia turned and nodded to a stallion behind her. He nodded, and took a golden rope with his mouth. Pulling on it, revealed was a refined and eloquent box, embroidered with purple and gold. The only thing that was out of place, was a pink and blue cage surrounding it.

"These are the Elements of Harmony, the symbol of friendship," Celestia said, pointing a hoof at them.

In that moment, Zully and Creativity just sat there, listening intently to what Celestia was about to say. For some reason, those two couldn't stop staring at the box she is showcasing. On the other side of the auditorium, other ponies also had their eyes engrossed on the box, but the others just looked at it like it was some fancy jewelry.

"These Elements symbolize the love and unity that we all have the potential to dish out," Celestia decreed, her voice powerful. "As friendship grows, so does the almighty power of these Elements,"

Celestia stepped toward the elements, and turned once more.

"Let this be a symbol, and an encouragement to all of you young ponies," She said. "Without friendship, there is no life. Without caring for others, there is no meaning to life itself. Please burn that into your brains, for the words I speak are truth,"

Celestia seemed to have finished, but everyone else knew that she wasn't. She took steps forward once more.

"I remember, several years ago, the fate of Equestria itself was always in danger," She began, story telling voice on. "If it wasn't for the bond of six mares, Equestria would not have prospered how it has to this very day," She said, emphasizing her point with a hoof stomp.

"By harboring friendship and caring for others, we can defeat whatever disharmony threatens our peace, and ultimately banish it from our lives. The magical power friendship bares is even greater than my own," She spoke.

With those words, everypony gasped. Everypony was aware that Celestia was the most powerful of the two sisters. What they didn't know, however, is that without her sister, Celestia was weaker. But, now they know, that, the magic of friendship, the Elements of Harmony, overpowered even Celestia Herself.

"I am not a deity – I am not a Goddess. I have been overpowered before, but if those six mares have not come to my rescue, I would not even be here," She said solemnly. The auditorium stayed dead quiet.

"My point being, if it wasn't for their friendship and deep love for each other, things would have taken a major turn for the worst," Celestia began to walk away from the stage, but stopped once more, and looked at everyone with those pale pink eyes.

"I want you all to remember," She said. "Friendship,is Magic."

With that, she fled the stage. The auditorium exploded into whistles, clops, stomps, wing flaps. All of these various sounds interconnected in harmony. The amount of power it carried was so great, that everypony was feeling it now. Celestia's powerful words have buzzed these young students into a new school year.

Leaving the auditorium, Creativity and Zully couldn't help but shake off a weird feeling. They were clearly happy and inspired by the Princess' amazing speech ability, but something about those Elements of Harmony seemed to click with them.

"Shucks, that speech sure was inspirational," Zully commented.

"Sure was," Creativity agreed.

It happened really fast. An object seemed to bump into Creativity, sending her and whatever bumped into her flying into the wall. She blinked, and noticed that it was a Pegasus. She had an olive colored coat, and baby blue eyes. She seemed nervous and completely flustered. Her mane was very pink, and her wings were folded slightly. It appears she tried to stop.

"Oh, oh, I-I-I'm s-s-sorry. . ." She uttered shyly, stammering in her sentence.

"It's okay," Creativity assured, and got back into balance. She stood over the shy pony, and noticed that her cutie mark was a heart with a red outline, and a rainbow inside, layered symmetrically. The pony stared up at her.

"What's your name?" Creativity inquired, smiling at her.

"I-I'm . . . Palette. . " She said, look away from Creatvity. Poor Palette was so ashamed and embarrassed for bumping into another person with her wings. First, it was her crush, and then, it was a mare she didn't even know. How embarrassing. Oh! How embarrassing!

"Pleasure, I'm Creatvity," She said, and went to help Palette up. Palette blinked, and nodded.

Zully walked up, and smiled, her chest puffed out. "And I'm Gleaming Zultinite, but you can call me Zully, honey,"

Palette looked at the two ponies before her. She seemed to shrink slightly, but felt very warm feelings from them. She felt as if they could be her friends, perhaps. She nodded, still incredibly shy and embarrassed at what just happened. Oh, those wings.

"Anyway, I reckon we should get to class. Jus' homeroom t'day, I think," Zully said.

Creativity nodded, and she began to clop away. They didn't have the same homeroom, apparently. Palette was apparently following her. Creativity looked back.

"Is something wrong?" She asked.

"Oh, no," She said shyly. "I have that room over there," She gestured with her hoof.

Creativity looked at the door she was looking at. It wasn't surprising that they'd have the exact same class for the morning hour. They both walked in, the class room already full with mares and colts, talking, and many other things. They were all about their age too.

"How lively," Creativity commented, smiling.

"Oh, yes, very," Palette agreed, although she didn't like the idea of the classroom being so noisy.

The other ponies were submerged into their own groups and such. It seems that Celestia's speech had motivated the ponies into being friends, but not everyone's together.

Creatvity and Palette took two empty desks. They began to converse, laughing here and there, until the teacher came in. She called attention to the class, and everyone immediately started to listen. She welcomed everyone to the new school year in Ponyville. She also congratulated the students for passing their first year.

"This room is very crowded," Palette said quietly, yet her voice was audible to the two ponies by her side.

"It is, I don't think I'll be able to read in such a noisy room in the morning," Creativity frowned, her main concern reading.

"Guess I'm not the only pony who likes books and quiet," A mare in a light gray color said. She peered at Palette and Creativity with her purple eyes, which were half-covered by her cool shades. Her mane was plain black, and seemed blown and choppy, a bang reaching almost the tip of her snout. Her wings were folded, and her tail was like her mane. She has a peculiar cutie mark that was off from her dark colors. An icicle like crystal was on both her flanks, bright blue in color. There was a large one, then a small one, in a lighter shade.

"Good to meet you both, I'm Grey Shades. Just call me Grey," Grey Shades said, introducing herself, and putting her shades back up, covering her eyes once more.

"I-I'm Palette. . ." Palette responded.

"I'm Creativity," Creativity said.

"Cool," Is all Grey said.

The school bell rang. Everypony exited the classroom in that same second, pouring out like a bucket of water tipped over. It took a while for Palette and Creativity to squeeze on through, along with Grey Shades, who was following them for some reason.

"Where are you cool gals going now?" Grey asked.

"Well, I need to go tend to my art work. It's not finished yet," Palette answered.

"I need to go organize my library. I left some books on the shelves, and then I have to meet Zully," She said.

"Who's Zully?" Grey Shades asked, blinking. You can't see her blinking, though, she has shades on.

"That will be me," The southern mare said, coming up behind Grey Shades unannounced. "They name's Zully. What's your name?"

"I'm Grey Shades. Call me Grey," Grey Shades replied, extending a hoof. Zully shook it enthusiastically, happy as ever to meet a new pony in the new high school.

"Anyway, I need to get going. Good bye," Palette said, and then clopped away, out of the school, and down the path to Ponyville.

"Guess I'll go do, some stuff," Grey said, and waved at us. She disappeared pretty soon into somewhere Creativity nor Zully knew. They looked at each other, and began walking down the winding path to Ponyville, which wasn't too far. Probably five minutes.

The sun was already descended from its place in the sky. It seemed that Princess Celestia would soon, ultimately, lower the sun, and make way for the moon, which her regal sister, Princess Luna, rose. Creativity stared up at the sky, noting its red, purple, and orange hue. It was a magnificent sight, filled with strange wonder and some nostalgic sense.

"Something wrong, shiny gem?"Zully asked.

Creativity turned her head and stared blankly at her, and shook her head. "Oh, uh, nothing, just felt weird for a moment."

"At least we made some friends t'day. Those two girls seem just fine," Zully stated, them reaching the apartment complex near the library.

"Oh! That reminds me," Creativity said, taking charge and running toward the library. She used her Unicorn magic to open the door and stepped in. She saw shelves upon shelves of books, lined up in A-Z order, by genre, by type. Creativity had no words to describe it.

"Uh, what're yadoin'?" Zully asked, walking up behind her.

"I need to check out some books," She said, darting around and looking for a book. "I need to learn more about these Elements of Harmony. They seem interesting."

"Really?"Zully asked, raising a brow.

"Of course," She said. "The Princess' speech was so interesting, and her mention of those elements, they really charged my mind,"

Zully just stood there, moving her eyes with Creativity's sharp movements. She sat down ultimately, just following Creativity with her head and eyes. She used her own Unicorn magic to lift a book out from a shelf, and examined it.

Creativity suddenly stopped and sighed. "Ugh," She groaned. "Why can't I find it? It should be here somewhere, right?"

"Uh, is this what you're lookin' for?" Zully asked, turning the book to the cover. It had a picture of a large gemstone, and a gold plated title above it, saying, 'The Legend of the Elements of Harmony.'

Creativity smiled and took the book in her hooves.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She praised, and jumped around, and around, and around. After minutes of jumping, she finally settled, and opened the book up.

"Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together, and created harmony for all the land. To do this, the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn; the younger brought out the moon to begin the night. Thus, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects, all the different types of ponies. But as time went on, the younger sister became resentful. The ponies relished and played in the day her elder sister brought forth, but shunned and slept through her beautiful night. One fateful day, the younger unicorn refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn. The elder sister tried to reason with her, but the bitterness in the young one's heart had transformed her into a wicked mare of darkness: Nightmare Moon.

She vowed that she would shroud the land in eternal night. Reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to ponydom: the Elements of Harmony. Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony, she defeated her younger sister, and banished her permanently in the moon. The elder sister took on responsibility for both sun and moon...'

Ever since then, the Princess of the Night had been purified by the Elements of Harmony. The first six incarnations of the Elements of Harmony used their power to defeat a powerful Queen of Darkness from the Beneath. It was a difficult battle, one fought valiantly, but by the skin of their teeth, they managed to banish her for years on end. . . "

Creativity lead the book aloud, flipping each page as she did just stared, astonished by the story. Her mouth was agape, and so was Creativity's.

"Amazin'," She said. "That story is so sharp, I say,"

"I just can't believe it," Creativity said. She set the book down, and stared. "Princess Luna was evil? Or, something, I don't know. This is pretty amazing, though,"

"Eyup," Zully agreed.

"I'm going to keep this book for a bit," Creativity said, storing the book inside her saddlebag. The two ponies began to exit the library, Zully shutting it with her magic. The two walked toward the apartment complex once more, entered, and said their goodnights.

---

The school auditorium was dark, dimly lit by the moon's bright light. All was quiet, silence, not a single peep or disturbance that could shatter it. At least, that's how it appeared.

A dark magic began to formulate, increasing, increasing, spinning, sculpting, creating. It continued to spin and weave, and in seconds, caused an explosion that destroyed the golden silence and shattered several windows. From the remains of the explosion, which caused a large hole on the carpeted floor, was a dark mare. Her eyes were a sickly green, her pupils slit. Her mane was groggy and messy, a sickly light purple. Her coat was as black as night, her tail the same as her hair, supremely long. She was very tall, extremely, wearing a conical hat. Her cutie mark? It didn't exist, at all. Her flanks were blank, but she exuded an amount of power that nopony seemed to possess.

"Ah, yes," Her voice resonated, as if several other ponies were speaking at the same time. A chorus. "The foolish Princess of the day had placed the Elements of Harmony in this vicinity."

She took several steps toward the stage, jumped up, spreading her Pegasus wings, and landing silently. Her eyes peered behind the curtains, the Elements of Harmony on a pedestal, inside the jewelry box. She took even more steps further, and used her Unicorn horn to lift the box. She failed.

"I see, I see," She cackled, walking around the pedestal and eyeing the box with lust. "Princess Celestia's a smart cookie, sealing the box with not only her power, but her sister's as well, and what's this?"

The Queen of Malice squinted an eye, as if trying to magnify her sight. Around the pink and blue cage, was yet another cage, golden in color, and purple in hue. She smirked, and let out another cackle. It was stomach churning.

"So the foolish Crystal Princess and her spouse have also intervened, lending their magical prowess to protecting such obsolete magic," Malefica snarled, and stomped her hoof. Her horn began to release static, the glow white, contrasting her coat. The amount of power it released rivaled even Celestia's, as she shot a powerful beam from way up high. The beam began to fight the combined forces of royalty, attempting to shatter the protection spell. Ultimately failing once more, her power bounced off, and began to spring around the walls, destroying several seats.

The Queen scoffed, and floated back down. Her power was not yet complete, not whole. She was nothing but a spectral image from the Beneath, here to advance her plans, yet it seems that would be more complicated than it seems.

"I have an idea," She smirked, and turned. "But I'll require more patience."

In that moment, thunder struck, and she was gone, as if not existing. The damage done was still there, for the ponies to see. And you know what else? A large, beautiful black diamond was situated in the middle, with a giant golden 'M' carved, signaling her return.

Kehehehe. Foolish mortal foals. I wonder if the so called 'magic of friendship' Celestia claims to be so powerful will keep me at bay? Well, we shall see. Ahahaha!
