A/N: Chapter 5: The Best Night Ever, should be out Friday. I chose Best Night Ever because I despise Blueblood and want him out of the way early. It will focus on Harry's time at the Gala rather than the other Mane 6 because hello, the story is about him. Please leave a review!

Chapter 4: Friendship if Magic Part 3

Harry whimpered while Nightmare Moon flew into the Everfree Forest. His mother told him never to go in there. There where Manticores, Timber Wolves, Celestia knows what other kinds of creatures lurking in the dark. They flew for about an hour. Coming about a large crumbling castle.

"A castle?" He asked curiously. He had never been this far into the forest before. Sure he had went inside a few yards once on a dare but that was it.

"This castle used to be the capital of Equestria." Nightmare Moon told her new "student." "This forest once protected it. Apparently it still does to this day.

They flew inside to the thrown room. When Nightmare Moon sat upon her "Beloved" sister's former throne she brought Harry up to her to study him.

"Where did you come from?" She asked. "Even before Discord there where few Alicorns left in the world. "Those eyes...the eyes of my dear sister...the eyes...of...could you possibly be? No that's impossible." She scoffed at herself. "She can't come back. Discord said so himself. Despite being a Chaos spirit he knew his dimensional travel. But still...those eyes haunt me. The last time I saw her...she was about your size..."

Harry's ears perked up. Celestia was fully grown when Nightmare Moon tried to usurp her throne. Who was she talking about.

"Mommy found me at the gates of the farm." Harry interrupted Nightmare Moon's thoughts. "In a basket she said. With a flash of pink light."

"Pink light? PINK LIGHT? Are you really her son?" Nightmare demanded. "My niece? Liliana?"

The name on the note Mommy said...was Liliana...If she was Nightmare's niece...Harry thought. She was Princess Luna's niece...And that means...

"Well well well, welcome home, Great Nephew."

With Twilight and the other mares...

Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie had joined Twilight on her quest to the Everfree forest.

"Did you know Harry was an Alicorn?" Twilight asked Applejack.

" 'course I did. was kinda hard to miss them wings when he was little." Applejack said in fond memory. "Now everypony knows." She said sadly.

"Why keep it a secret?" Rarity asked as they hopped over a log. She was Harry's godmother as she and Applejack where best friends all throughout school.

"Didn' want the Princess takin' him away." Applejack said simply. "We all love him like he was our own kin. In all our eyes, he is."

"The Princess wouldn't take him away from a loving home." Rainbow insisted.

"Didn't wanna take that chance." Applejack insisted. "A nice ol' unicorn in town hides his wings when Harry asks. At night he practices flying in secret."

They passed many dangers. For instance, a cliff crumbled and sent Twilight sliding down almost over the edge. Applejack caught her and then TOLD HER TO LET GO! It turned out all right though, because Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy caught her. Then they came upon a raging river. The dragon who lived in it was upset because half of his mustache had been cut off of all things. Rarity cut off most of her tail and attatched it to his muzzle much to the joy of the woeful dragon. He then let the mares hop along his back to the other side. They then came across a Manticore. But he wasn't a bad chimera. He just had a thorn in his paw as Fluttershy showed them. After that they came upon some scary looking trees in the dark. Pinkie helped laugh their fears away. They finally came across a rope bridge leading to a crumbling castle. Rainbow Dash flew over to reattach the ropes and came across "The Shadowbolts." With the apparent alpha female wanting her to be their leader...but only if she didn't reattach the ropes. She refused, and the Shadowbolts disappeared as quickly as they appeared to her.

"Let's go." Twilight said and she and the other mares ran across the bridge to the castle. Hopefully Harry would still be in one piece and not traumatized...

"Again!" Nightmare ordered. She was having Harry go through his charging of his Chidori spell again and again. She claimed this would increase his magical power.

Harry groaned and once again focused his magic onto his horn. It sparked to life faster this time. The light black electricity crackling like birds.

"I will enjoy breaking your spirit dear nephew." Nightmare told him as she circled the foal. Watching him hold onto the Chidori as long as he could. "Then I will rebuild you. You will become the Commander of my Lunar Knights."

They came across a shrine in the castle with 6 orbs. Each with a picture similar to the mare's Cutie Marks.

"The Elements of Harmony!" Twilight said excitedly. "We've found them!" Then she saw the others going to the orb that had their Cutie Marks. "Careful! Careful!"

"One, Two, Three, Four, Five...There's only six!"

"Where's the seventh? Aren't there supposed to be seven?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"When all seven are present, the spark from Magic will reveal it." Twilight said.

"What the hay is that supposed to mean?" Applejack asked the unicorn. "And where is MY SON?"

"He has to be here in the castle." Twilight said. "And I'm not sure what it means but I have an idea...stand back."

"Come on ya'll. She needs to concentrate." Applejack said as she left.

"Let's go find Harry!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Right." Rarity said firmly and followed them along with Pinkie Pie who bounced out of the room and Fluttershy.

"Come on." Twilight said to herself with her horn aglow with magic and around the six Elements. "One Spark." Suddenly there appeared a purple tornado of magic which swept up the Elements of Harmony. She cried out in fear.

The other mares, fearful for her safety, ran back to her calling "Twilight!" They saw her disappear.

"Where'd she go?" Rainbow Dash demanded.

Rarity looked out the window and saw a room with lights glowing. "There!" She pointed out the room.

"Come on ya'll." Applejack said and all the mares ran/flew out to save Twilight and Harry.

"Ugh." Twilight groaned as she appeared in the room where the Elements where taken. She then saw the Elements floating aroud Nightmare Moon and Harry cowering next to her glaring up at NMM.

"Harry! Your safe!"

"Twilight!" Harry said eagerly and tried to run before he was caught in NMM's bubble and re captured with an "Aww."

"Hmmph." Twilight grunted before stamping one of her front hooves ready to charge NMM.

"Your kidding." The older mare said in disbelief. "Your kidding right?"

Twilight charged. Running as fast as she could toward Nightmare Moon. Nightmare Moon accepted her false "Challenge." And charged at her as well. Dropping Harry next to the Elements of Harmony who looked over at them curiously.

Suddenly Twilight teleported herself. A new spell and one she wasn't good at yet. "Oooh." She said as she re stabilised herself at the Elements. She shook it off. "Just one spark. Just one spark." She said with her horn glowing again. The Elements all started glowing. Nightmare Moon suddenly appeared in front of her and smacked her back off the platform.

"No." Nightmare Moon said in terror when the Elements started crackling with Magic. "NO!"

Then the Elements magic died out...

Twilight gasped in disbelief. "But...where's the Seventh Element?"

Nightmare Moon laughed evilly. "You little foal! Thinking you could defeat me?" She destroyed the physical representations of the Elements. Which crumbled into pieces. "Now you will never see your princess, or your sun! The night shall last foreve!" She laughed maniacally.

Suddenly Twilight heard the others. "Don't worry Twilight! We're here!" Pinkie's voice said.

"Don't worry, we'll be there!" came from Applejack.

"Mommy!" Harry ran to Applejack who caught him in an embrace.

Twilight gasped in realization.When all six are present, the spark from Magic will reveal the Seventh."You think you can destroy the Elements of Harmony just like that?" She asked the now intrigued mare. "Well, your wrong. Cause the spirits of the Elements of Harmony are right here.

"What?" Nightmare Moon asked in shock.

Twilight continued her speech. "Applejack. Who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of Honesty."

Harry watched in awe as four pieces came to hover around his mother.

"Fluttershy, who tamed the Manticore with her compassion, represents the spirit of Kindness."

Fluttershy rose into the air to accep her pieces which hovered around her.

"Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of Laughter."

Pinkie eagerly accepted her Element.

"Rarity. Who calmed a sorrowful serpent with her meaningful gift, represents the spirit of Generosity!"

Rarity glared at Nightmare Moon as her element hovered around her. The evil witch would pay for foalnapping her godson.

"Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own hearts desire, represents the spirit of Loyalty!"

Rainbow Dash flew into the air as her element surrounded her.

"And I, who brought all of us together, who studied under Celestia herself, represent the element of...Magic!"

Twilight stood her ground as her element started hovering around her body.

Nightmare moon looked on in shock. "You still don't have the Seventh Element of Harmony. With six I will still return in a thousand years!"

"The seventh Element of Harmony, is the only other pony in this room." Twilight said. "Harry is the Seventh Element of Harmony. Harry, who bravely charged you without fear of his own safety, who challenged you for the sake of others, represents the spirit...of Courage!"

Harry looked around as four pieces started appearing by magic in the air and came to hover around his form.

"The spirits of these six ponies got us through every challenge you threw at us." Twilight said as she glared at Nightmare Moon. "You will never see the dark of night again."

"NOOoo!" Nightmare Moon said in terror as the magic in the room intensified around the Elements of Harmony. "Noooo!"

The ponies eyes all started glowing as their Elements came together and sent a rainbow of light at Nightmare Moon.

"Ow my head." Rainbow Dash saod as she stood up after Nightmare Moon vanished.

"Everypony okay?" Applejack asked as she stood up too.

Rarity squealed with delight as she saw her tail had grown back.

"Rarity its so lovely." Fluttershy complimented the unicorn.

"I know!" Rarity said eagerly. "I'll never part with it again."

"No. Your necklace. It looks just like your Cutie Mark."

Indeed, Rarity's Element had taken new form. In a necklace with her Cutie Mark as the representation."

"What?" Rarity looked down. Then noticed Fluttershy's. "Ooh. So does yours."

"Yay yay yay yay!" They all heard Harry say as he bounced around happily. "I finally got my Cutie Mark! Look!" He showed everyone his flank now had a Cutie Mark. It was a triangle with a circle inside and a line going from the tip of the triangle to the bottom of the triangle. "I have no idea what it means but I finally got my Cutie Mark!" His element had taken form of a tie rather than a necklace. And the representation of his element was now in the shape of his Cutie Mark.

"Gee Twilight.." Applejack said after hugging her son and congratulating him. "I thought you were just spoutin' a lot of hooey. But I reckon we do represent the elements of friendship."

"Indeed you do." Came the voice of the Sun Princess. Princess Celestia came through an open window as Dawn appeared in the sky.

The mares all gasped while Harry got scared and hid behind a pillar. "Princess Celestia." They all bowed in respect.

"Twilight Sparkle. My faithful student, I knew you could do it."

"But..." Twilight started in confusion. "You told me it was an old ponies tale.

Celestia shook her head. "I told you that you needed to make some friends. Nothing more. I saw the signs of Nightmare Moon's return and I knew it was you who had the magic to reveal the final Element of Harmony. Speaking of which..." She looked around and saw only six. "Where is the little one who represents the Seventh Element?"

"He's over here Princess." Rainbow Dash said as she picked Harry up from his hiding place. She plopped him down.

Celestia smiled as all the Elements where now present. "You could not unleash the Seventh element until you let true friendship into your heart. Now if only another will as well." She looked aroud and saw Luna hiding in a corner. "Princess Luna."

Luna gasped and came out from her hiding place. The other mares noted how much smaller she was now.

"It has been a thousand years since I've seen you like this. Time to put our differences aside and rule as we where meant to. Little sister."

Everypony except Harry gasped. "Sister?"

"I'm so sorry 'Tia! I missed you big sister!"

"I've missed you too." Celestia said as she embraced the younger alicorn. "Now. There's only one other matter to attend to...A certain blue alicorn foal."

Harry layed his ears back in fear as Celestia towered over him. She studied him and gasped. "You have my eyes." She said. "I never thought I'd ever get t meet any of her children. She embraced the little foal.

"Grandma." Harry said. Eagerly accepting the embrace.

"GRANDMA?" The ponies including Applejack all said in shock.

"Applejack Apple." Celestia said after releasing her grandfoal. "I have no intention of taking my grandson from his loving home."

"You mean it?" Applejack said in joy.

"I truly mean it." Celestia said. "You have raised a fine son. I'm sure my daughter Liliana would be proud of the young colt he has become."

Harry blushed at the praise.

Pinkie blowed her nose from her crying at the joyful moment. "You know what this calls for? A PARTY!"

Back in Ponyville the next day, Celestia herself had joined the celebrations. "Why so glum my faithful student? Are you not happy that your quest is complete and you can now resume your studies in Canterlot?"

Twilight studied her new friends as they where having fun and dancing. "That's just it...Just when I finally make friends, I have to leave them." She says sadly.

Celestia turned to Spike. "Spike. Take a note." Spike got out a quill and scroll. "I, Princess Celestia, do hereby decree that the unicorn Twilight Sparkle shall take on a new mission for Equestria. To continue to study the magic of friendship She must report to me her findings from her new home, in Ponyville."

Everypony cheered for Ponyvilles new resident.

"Oh thank you Princess!" Twilight said as she embraced her mentor. "I'll study harder than ever before."

To Be Continued...

And there's the finale to the Mare in the Moon arc. Hope I played everything out okay.
