Chapter 2

"So why did the Princess want us and some random pony at the castle ASAP?" asked Rainbow Dash as the 7 ponies flew to Counterlot on Fireball's back.

"I don't know," awnswered Apple Jack. "But I reckon it has somethin' to do with the elements of harmony."

"But that doesn't explain why she needs Tigerlily," replied Rarity.

"We're her," said Tigerlily, pulling on Fireball's rope.

The seven ponies ran into the castle.

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were standing in the hallway, where the colorful glace recordings stood in glory.

"We're here!" shouted Twilight as the ponies bursted into the room. "What's the emergency?!"

"She's the emergency," replied Celestia while calmly pointing at Tigerlily.

"Me?" said Tigerlily. "What do you mean, ME? I just got here and you're blaming me!" she inched closer and closer to Celestia, who backed up in shock. "Just because you're some princess doesn't mean I won't stand up to you!"

Celestia smiled and looked at Luna. "She's the one."

The colorful ponies looked at eachother in confusion.

"Twilight," explained Celestia. "Ever since you became an alicorn, the pattern got mixed up. Now there are two pegasi, two earth ponies, one unicorn and one alicorn. There is a seventh element of harmony. The element of bravery."

"I'M an element of harmony?!" exclaimed Tigerlily.

"Indeed," assured Luna.

Celestia took out the box full of the elements and handed the necklaces to the pony that it belonged to. Then, she opened a secret compartment at the bottom and revealed a necklace, like the other elements, but in the center was a jewl shaped like a ball of fire. It was a beautiful shade of orange.

She put the necklace around Tigerlily's neck.

"You are the element of bravery."
