Elements Unite

After walking around town for a bit, it became pretty apparent to Spike that Rarity was determined to not talk about what had her so upset. She had spaced out a few more times after that, the last time looking rather irritated. That confirmed it; she had sensed a nightmare, but for some reason was ignoring it.

Rarity said she was hungry, so Spike took her to a nice restaurant. He felt it wasn't a good idea to force her to talk about it, so instead he decided to wait for an opportunity to bring it up. As they sat down waiting for their food, Rarity gasped in shock, and then looked away angrily.

“How long are you going to ignore that?” Spike asked, catching Rarity off guard.

“Ignore what?” Rarity asked innocently.

“There's a nightmare attacking, right? That's why you keep spacing out on me. Either you keep getting a warning, or your friends are calling you.”

“They're not my friends,” Rarity stated harshly before catching herself, “Well, Fluttershy is, but...” she took a deep breath, “I'm on a date today, and it would be rude to run off and fight monsters in the middle of it.”

“Rarity, I don't mind if you have to run,” Spike stated, “Hell, I could even-”

“I'm. On. A. Date,” Rarity stated, “If Applejack wants to take care of this, then she can. Clearly she doesn't need my help.”

Spike wanted to say something, but he could tell from the tone of her voice she'd just get upset. He sighed and thought about something else to talk about. Almost as if on cue, the waiter came by with their orders: a salad for Rarity, and the spaghetti for Spike.

“So, how has Twilight been doing?” Rarity asked suddenly.

“She seemed to be in okay spirits this morning,” Spike stated, “Sadly, she's never in perfectly good spirits, but she seemed to be in an okay mood.”

“I see,” Rarity said putting her focus on her salad.

“Are you two okay?” Spike asked, “She mentioned that you two ran into each other last night.”

“Oh, we're fine,” Rarity said airily, “At least, I think we are. She didn't say anything to make us seem otherwise, did she?”

It was pretty clear that Rarity wasn't telling him the whole story, but that was her and Twilight's business.

“No,” Spike said, “Well, it's sometimes hard to tell with her. She doesn't like other unicorns very much.”

“She told me,” Rarity said, “Something about a mare betraying her?”

“Her name was Trixie,” Spike said, “They were friends for a while, but I think Trixie was jealous of Twilight. They had a falling out a few years ago, and Twilight hasn't liked unicorns ever since.”

“Wow,” Rarity said shocked, “To hate all unicorns after something like that though... doesn't seem fair, you know?”

Spike wanted to say something, but Rarity actually had a point. In fact, a lot of the students at his mother's school had wanted to reach out to Twilight, but she refused simply because they were unicorns. She had been hurt a lot, and her heart had been closed off, but she couldn't stay like this forever.

“Rarity, could you look out for Twilight?” Spike asked. Rarity looked at Spike with a raised eyebrow, “I know it's an odd request-”

“Considering that I used to be a unicorn,” Rarity said.

“Y-yes, but that's why I think you watching over her would be a good idea,” Spike continued, “She needs to be taken out of her comfort zone, and I think if she had a unicorn with her she might grow to trust them again, and you're the most trustworthy unicorn I know currently.”

Rarity sighed, “I'm not sure if me being Twilight's friend is such a good idea, Spike,” Rarity said honestly.

“Maybe she needs someone who won't just be nice to her,” Spike stated, “Please Rarity.”

Before Rarity could answer Spike's request, she looked behind him and groaned, “Lovely...”

“What's wrong?” Spike looked behind him and saw Twilight and Applejack walking up to them, neither one looking really pleased, but Applejack was glaring at them, “Ooh boy...”

Rarity closed her eyes and went back to her salad as Applejack and Twilight walked over to them.

“Spike,” Twilight said softly, “Um...”

“Hey Twilight,” Spike said, “Rarity wasn't feeling well, so I decided to spend the day with her. I know I said I'd take care of the library, but-”

“I put the closed sign up,” Twilight said, “I figured you would be spending the day with...” Twilight trailed off, looking at Rarity, who was clearly ignoring them.

“Ah know ya sensed it,” Applejack stated, “There's a nightmare attackin right now, an' here you are playin around.”

“You call me out for not fighting,” Rarity said, “Yet you clearly ignored the call as well.”

“You...” Applejack growled.

“I admit it, I was enjoying my time with Spike here, and I didn't feel like putting an end to such a wonderful date,” Rarity glared at Applejack, “What's you're excuse?”

Applejack opened her mouth to speak, but she stopped herself and looked away in shame. Surprisingly, Twilight stepped forward.

“The others need help,” Twilight said, “They're fighting a nightmare in the alleyway right now. They need us.”

“Wait, us?” Rarity said looking at Twilight, “You're not coming in with us, are you?”

“Twilight, what are you saying?” Spike asked, “Why are you going into a labyrinth with-”

“I'm their new strategist,” Twilight said, shocking both Spike and Rarity, “But if this nightmare is as dangerous as Fluttershy and Dash think it is, then I need everyone.”

Rarity laughed, “You need everyone?” Rarity got out of her seat and trotted over to Twilight, “You have no business being in a labyrinth. You're not the one fighting. We are.”

“Right now, Dash and Fluttershy are fighting,” Twilight emphasized, “I happen to like both of them, and I'd be really upset if they died on me, so I'm going to do whatever I can to ensure their safety.”

“Hmph!” Rarity scowled at Twilight before turning to Applejack, who was still glaring at her.

“Look, I don't know what's going on with you two, but I need you to be able to work together so we can save Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy,” Twilight continued, “Spike and I will be by the alleyway you guys fought in last night, so kiss and make-up already so we can get to rescuing our other elements. Come on Spike,” Twilight said walking off, clearly not giving Spike a choice in the matter. When she took that tone, it was better for your health to just listen to her.

He gave Rarity an apologetic look and ran after Twilight, who seemed to be swishing her tail a bit as she walked, something Twilight never did. It was sort of... cute actually.

“What was that all about?” Spike asked, quickly taking his eyes off of Twilight's tail before he accidentally offended her.

“Something happened between those two, and they need to settle it,” Twilight explained, “They don't have to like each other, but they need to be able to tolerate each other.”

Twilight trotted ahead, but Spike couldn't take his eyes off her flank. He had never seen Twilight in that light before, so why now? It was as if she was trying to call attention there or something.

Rarity couldn't help but laugh a bit looking at Twilight as she walked off. It was clear what she was trying to do with Spike. Maybe she did get it. In the battle for Spike, things just got interesting, fun even.

Well played, Twilight. Well played.

“So,” Applejack said sitting where Spike was sitting before, “Ah'm guessin ya empowered Spike with yer magic?”

“No point in hiding it,” Rarity said sitting back down, “I'm honest, after all.”

Applejack looked away scowling, “Yer not gonna let that go, huh?”

Rarity snorted softly looking away, “Well, one of us has to be the Element of Honesty, since according to you I'm not worthy of being the Element of Generosity.”

“Look, Ah'm sorry Ah said that,” Applejack said.

“No you're not,” Rarity said with a sigh, “You just feel like you're supposed to say it. I don't know what you expect to happen. We're not friends or anything.”

Applejack sighed, “Ah don't see us becomin friends anytime soon either,” she admitted. Oddly, something in Rarity's heart dropped when Applejack said that. She shook it off as Applejack continued, “Twilight's right. We don't have ta like each other, but we do have to work tagether.”

“Oh, so now you want to work with me? What about your friend? Now that she's an Element of Harmony, you don't have to work with a selfish bitch like me anymore.”

Applejack took a deep breath, “What has ya so upset anyway? Ya don't like me anymore than Ah like you, so why do ya care so much?”

Rarity was silent for a long time, trying to figure out why she was so upset about it. In the end, she could only think of one reason.

“Applejack, who was your first ally?” Rarity asked.

“It was you,” Applejack said with a sigh.

“Who's the one with the most experience besides you?”

“You are,” Applejack said, a little irritated now.

“Who's the one you always turn to first when there's trouble?”

“Ah get it, alright?” Applejack groaned.

“No, you don't, because I'm not done yet,” Rarity looked right into Applejack's eyes, “Who was the one who's had your back since the beginning?”

It looked like Applejack had some sort of realization. Her expression softened before she spoke, “You,” she said softly, “Yer right. You've always have mah back. Ah'm... sorry, alright. Really, Ah am. Ah got excited havin my friend on my side, but Ah lost sight of what's really important.

“Yer... a lot different than me. Ya don't see things like Ah do. Yer fancy, high maintenance, ya even got yerself a boyfriend. At least, Ah think he's yer boyfriend.”

“Time will tell,” Rarity admitted, “I am having sex with him though.”

“Didn't need ta know that,” Applejack said more so to herself, which made Rarity giggle, “Ah've had ta sacrifice a lot in my life. Ah guess when Ah look at you, Ah keep comparin ya ta me.”

Rarity nodded thoughtfully, “I suppose to someone who had to give up everything, I wouldn't exactly scream generosity,” Rarity looked away, “Remember when I offered to help Sweet Apple Acres?”

“Ah remember,” Applejack said.

“I made that offer because I do have a lot of money, and I wanted to share it. I'm not like Filthy Rich with his money.”

Applejack laughed softly, a slight grimace on her face for some reason.

“Ah don't know about us ever becomin friends,” Applejack said, “But... Ah think Ah can work with ya.”

“I would hope so,” Rarity said, “We both have a friend currently trapped in a labyrinth. Twilight... needs all of us working together.”

Applejack smiled slightly and nodded. As it seemed like the ice thawed between them a bit, Rarity paid for lunch and began walking with Applejack to the alleyway.

“By the way,” Applejack started, “What's it like havin sex with a dragon?”

“Oh Applejack, I've never been so completely filled in my life. You have to try it one day.”

Applejack laughed awkwardly as they walked. Rarity had to admit, she felt a little more comfortable around Applejack.

“I see them,” Spike said. Twilight looked and saw Applejack and Rarity walking up to the alleyway. They looked like they were in better spirits at least, which was good.

“So, are you two okay?” Twilight asked them.

“Yeah, Ah think so,” Applejack said.

“I'll be even better once I know that Fluttershy is safe,” Rarity said, “Is the portal still open?”

“Yeah,” Spike said looking into the alleyway, “But I don't feel the nightmare as strongly. I don't know, I think it moved.”

“If so, then another portal will probably open up somewhere,” Rarity stated, “It's avatars might even-” Rarity was cut off by a scream. The four of them ran in the direction of the scream and saw an earth pony surrounded by two gray colored bug like creatures that stood upright. The mare was crying, a dark mist forming around her.

“She's about ta be pulled in!” Applejack shouted.

“I'll save her!” Spike shouted, “You three get into that labyrinth! I'll join you in a bit!”

“Spike!” Twilight called out as Spike flew over to the avatars. He shot his fire at them, actually forcing them away from the crying mare, and then landed next to her comforting her.

“Hey, are you okay?” Spike asked in a comforting tone.

“I was just thinking about my argument with Lyra, when those creatures-” she broke down before she could finish her sentence. Spike motioned for Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack to go on, and he carefully used his wings to cover the mare's view of them as they ran into the labyrinth entrance. Twilight lingered for a second looking at Spike. His fire was able to hurt the nightmares. How did he...

Rarity...

Twilight shook it off and jumped into the labyrinth, which looked like a dark forest. In the sky above them was a red moon.

“Is that like the sigh of a red type?” Twilight asked.

“You're catching on, good,” Rarity said, “The less we have to explain to you the better, as you're our 'strategist' now.”

Twilight glared at Rarity. Even if Applejack was on better terms with her, she still couldn't stand that shady mare.

“The nightmare's close,” Applejack said, “The labyrinth opened up here, so that means-”

Dash and Fluttershy fell to the ground in front of them, both of them looking pretty beat up.

“Dash! Fluttershy!” Twilight cried out. She, Applejack, and Rarity looked up and saw the nightmare hovering over them. It was much smaller than the one she saw before, but based of the state her friends were in, just as dangerous.

“I'll heal them!” Rarity said as she started glowing, “Applejack, can you defend us in the meantime?”

Applejack turned to Twilight, who nodded confidently, “Yeah, Ah can do that,” she said, now glowing as well.

An orange gemstone latched onto Applejack's chest, creating her golden chest plate. She flinched from the influx of power as her entire body began glowing golden. Her stetson flew up into the air.

Her body grew as her ponytail came undone. A long horn sprouted from her forehead, and large wings appeared on her back.

The rest of her regalia literally flew onto her with enough force to look painful, and her stetson landed on one hoof, now with a golden trim and red gemstone, looking royal. She placed the stetson on her head and waved her mane, standing proud as her transformation was completed.

A light purple gemstone latched onto Rarity's chest, immediately creating her blue crystal chest plate. She flinched slightly from the influx of power as her entire body began to glow white.

Her body grew slightly, and her horn grew to be two times its previous length. She elegantly spun around as the rest of her regalia latched onto her body as her mane and tail grew in volume and length.

Large white wings appeared on her back, and the last thing that appeared on her was her crystal tiara. She flew around a bit, and then elegantly landed with one foot raised, ending her transformation.

“Applejack, create a shield of earth around us!” Twilight commanded, “Make it smaller so it'll be stronger!”

Applejack nodded and used her magic to generate an earth shield around them, enveloping herself, Rarity, Twilight, and their fallen comrades. Just in time too, as the nightmare charged into the shield and began punching and kicking it. Applejack looked worried, but Twilight walked over to her.

“It's okay,” Twilight said, “With it being this small, it should be sturdy enough to keep the nightmare back.”

“Right,” Applejack turned to Twilight and mouthed out “thanks” to her. Twilight smiled, and then turned her attention to Rarity, who was apparently casting healing magic on Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. She could do that?

“Ugh...” Dash said shaking her head, “Thanks. I didn't know you knew healing spells.”

“My magic base is light,” Rarity stated, “I can shot laser and heal, I just prefer going offensive.”

“Twilight,” Fluttershy said standing up, “I knew you could do it.”

“Don't thank me yet,” Twilight said, “We still have a nightmare to kill, and I'm determined to get you guys a victory.”

“Hold on,” Dash said, “You're gonna fight?”

“Shocked me too,” Rarity said rolling her eyes, “But she is a good strategist, and last time he got away.”

“He ain't getting away this time,” Applejack stated, “Ah can keep this up fer a few more minutes. If we're gonna create a plan, now's the time.”

Twilight nodded, “Alright, the nightmare is small, but he's clearly a fierce fighter. What can you tell us about it?”

“The main thing he has going for him is speed,” Dash stated, “Once he gets moving, there's no catching him. Hell, I have a hard time catching up.”

“He also likes using avatars to slow us down,” Fluttershy added, “He swarms us with them.”

“Hm...” Twilight thought to herself, “Dash's magic is good against multiple opponents,” she turned to Dash, “So you should focus on the avatars when they show up. They'll vanish once the nightmare is gone, right?”

“They should,” Rarity said.

“Then don't waste magic trying to kill them,” Twilight continued, “Just focus on keeping them away from the main attackers,” Twilight put her attention to Fluttershy, “Your job is to protect me with your wind magic. If the avatars start coming our way, use your wind magic to blow them into Dash's assaults.”

“I'll protect you with my life if I have to,” Fluttershy said seriously.

“Rarity, Applejack, you two are the main attackers,” Twilight said, noticing how tense they both got, “Applejack will focus on using her earth magic to restrict the nightmare movements while Rarity uses her lasers to attack it directly. Its small, and with how fast it moves, its defense is obviously low. We should be able to take this out in a short time.”

Applejack took a deep breath, but Rarity bumped her lightly to get her attention and nodded to her. It was an odd gesture, but Twilight saw that Applejack calmed down immediately. They could work together.

Good. Victory depended on them mainly.

“Alright, when I say so, lower the shield,” Twilight said. She stepped back as the four Elements of Harmony stood in front of her getting ready to fight. Twilight closed her eyes and counted to ten in her head, thinking about everything that was riding on this fight. This was her first official fight as their strategist. She wasn't going to let them down.

8...

9...

10...

“Now!” Twilight commanded.

Applejack lowered her shield, and Rarity fired her lasers at the nightmare, knocking it back. She and Applejack galloped after the nightmare, but a swarm of avatars came out of the shadows around Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy.

“Dash, you know what to do!” Twilight said, “Fluttershy, stay close to me!”

Dash charged into the avatars, making sure she didn't stop moving. While Dash attacked the avatars further away, Fluttershy focused on the avatars that Dash missed, as they were making their way to her and Twilight.

“You will NOT touch her!” Fluttershy shouted, flapping her wings hard and creating a sharp gust of wind that cut through the avatars, killing them instantly. Twilight was surprised, as she didn't know that Fluttershy had that much power.

“That was amazing!” Twilight said as Fluttershy landed next to her. Fluttershy blushed looking away.

“My magic isn't as strong everyone else's though,” Fluttershy admitted. Twilight wanted to tell her otherwise, but more avatars were coming. She'd have to talk to Fluttershy about later.

The nightmare tried flying way, but every time it got too far Applejack raised the earth around it, stopping it. Applejack used her earth magic to corner it, and Rarity flew up to it smirking.

“Hey handsome,” Rarity said charging up her magic. She fired her lasers at the nightmare, but he blocked and threw a kick at the white alicorn, who flew away and landed near Applejack. The nightmare punched the air sending an energy fist at them, but Applejack created a small shield to protect them. Rarity then rolled to the side creating orbs of light. She made them all fire at the same time, finally getting a good hit on the nightmare.

“Finally!” Rarity called out. She turned to Applejack and saw five avatars hovering over her, “Applejack, above you!”

Applejack turned around and saw the avatars. She hesitated one second too late, and the avatars charged toward her, but a stream of electricity shot through them, turning into Rainbow Dash.

“You okay?” Dash asked her friend.

“Ah'm, sorry,” Applejack said in shame, “Ah know Ah'm pathetic, but-”

“Hey,” Dash placed a hoov on Applejack's shoulder, “You're not alone, remember? We're taking care of you.”

The look on Applejack's face was enough to almost bring Twilight to tears. She looked so afraid, yet at the same time so relieved hearing Rainbow Dash say that. They truly were a lot alike.

Rarity breathed out in relief, and turned back to the nightmare, who kicked her back.

“Rarity!” Twilight and Fluttershy called out at the same time.

The nightmare was walked over to Rarity and was about to finish her off, but a blast of green fire shot the nightmare from the sky. When the nightmare flew back, Spike flew down in front of Rarity, helping her up.

“Need a hand?” Spike asked.

“My hero,” Rarity cooed. They both glared at the nightmare, Spike actually holding his claws out in a fighting stance. He and the nightmare charged at each other, hands meeting as they pushed at each other. Spike threw the nightmare into the air, where Rarity fired her already charged up laser at it.

“Spike!” Twilight called out, “You have a similar stature to it! Try and keep it on the ground!”

“You got it Twilie!” Spike said confidently, making Twilight blush slightly as he used her nickname.

“Rarity, charge up your lasers and time them with Spike's attacks! Applejack, keep using your magic to restrict its movements!”

“Roger that,” Rarity said half assed.

“Understood!” Applejack said.

“Fluttershy, use your magic to help Dash clear out the remaining avatars, and then both of you need to help the others! The nightmare should be ready to be banished by then!”

“Got it!” Dash said. Fluttershy nodded and flew over to Dash, both of them cleaning up the remaining avatars. Spike and the nightmare traded blows in a ferocious fist fight, Spike using some sort of dragon fighting style. Twilight had never seen Spike fight like this. He looked so cool right now.

The nightmare tried to fly away, but Applejack kicked up a boulder and kicked it at the nightmare knocking it to the ground.

“Yer not goin anywhere!” she shouted.

Rarity charged up her lasers, and right when Spike jumped behind the nightmare and held it still, Rarity fired at it, cracking its exoskeleton. Spike turned the nightmare around and whacked it with his tail, hitting it over Applejack.

Applejack buck kicked the nightmare, but it grabbed her leg and threw it back. She caught herself, and flipped over its leg as it threw a kick. While she was in the air, Rarity fired at its back, knocking it down. Applejack landed, slamming her hooves onto the ground at the same time knocking the nightmare into the air. Dash turned into a lightning bolt and dashed past the nightmare a few times slashing it, and Fluttershy shot her wing blades at it for added damage. When the nightmare fell to the ground, its chest armor broke revealing the black flesh underneath.

“Now!” Twilight commanded, “Banish it!”

The Elements of Harmony stood in a circle around the nightmare charging up their magic. The four of them all shot their magic into the nightmare. It screamed loudly as it faded away along with the labyrinth. They emerged in the area where the earth pony was attacked, and thankfully they were the only ones there.

“We did it,” Dash breathed out falling to the floor, “We fucking did it!”

“I'm glad that's over,” Rarity said, “That nightmare shouldn't be a problem anymore.”

“We... won...” Twilight said, processing what happened.

“Yeah we won!” Spike said, “Thanks to you, Captain.”

“C-Captain?!” Twilight stuttered, “Let's not get ahead of ourselves!”

Everyone laughed, but Twilight noticed that Applejack looked away in shame. There was still one more challenge they had to face apparently.

The sun was setting by the time they made it to the town square, the Elements all reverted to their hidden forms. This must have been the first time all of them had been together like this before. Twilight had to admit, it felt natural being around this group of ponies.

Applejack stopped walking suddenly, “Hey, everyone?”

They all stopped and turned to Applejack, “What is it?” Dash asked.

“About how Ah acted the other night...” Applejack said softly, “Ah wasn't in the right head. Truth is, Ah don't have the right head ta be our leader.”

“What do you mean?” Fluttershy asked. Rarity raised an eyebrow looking at Applejack intently.

“The truth is... Ah get scared easily,” Applejack admitted, “That tough mare y'all saw before... that was jus' a front. She ain't the real me. In reality, Ah'm terrified.”

“Applejack...” Spike said, clearly surprised by what he was hearing. Everyone except for Twilight was surprised actually.

“Ah tried tellin myself that Ah wasn't afraid, that Ah could lead, but this recent nightmare attack showed me that Ah shouldn't be the leader. Actually...” Applejack turned to Rarity, “Ah think... Rarity should be our leader.”

“Me?” Rarity asked.

“You've got the coolest head,” Applejack continued, “Ah admit, Ah was wrong 'bout ya. Yer the right pony fer the job of Element of Generosity, an' Ah elect you as our new leader.”

Rarity closed her eyes and smiled, “Well, I'm touched that you'd consider me, but I have to decline that offer.”

Applejack was wide eyed, “W-what?”

“I may be cool headed, but I am not a leader. Quite frankly, I don't think I could handle the responsibility. I appreciate it Applejack, but me as the leader,” she shook her head, “Who here would listen to me if I gave the orders.”

“Not me,” Dash said, “I'll tell you right now, no one who wears that much make-up is gonna order me around.”

“Um...” Fluttershy said, “When we transform, we're all wearing make-up, including you.”

“You're not helping, Partner,” Dash groaned. Everyone laughed before Rarity spoke again.

“Actually, I have the perfect candidate for our leader,” Rarity said, “Assuming it's not going to be you, Applejack.”

Rarity walked over to Twilight.

“Me... the leader?” Twilight asked.

“Well, why not? You pretty much call the shots in battle now,” Rarity stated, “If you're the strategist and the leader, it makes things less complicated.”

“But... I don't have the magic of harmony,” Twilight looked away, “Do I have the right to lead a team of alicorns?”

“I wouldn't mind,” Fluttershy said, “Your strategies have already given us two victories, and against red types too.”

“Yeah, I wouldn't have too much of a problem with you calling the shots,” Dash said, “But we've gotta work on a way to keep you safe while we're fighting.”

“If everyone else says it's fine,” Applejack said, “Then Ah agree. Ah think you should lead us, Twilight.”

Twilight turned to Spike, who nodded smiling, “If everyone elects me... then I'm in,” Twilight smiled at her new team, “I'll be the leader.”

She didn't know what this meant for her future. Were these four mares her friends? She knew that two of them were, and she and Applejack had an understanding now. Even Rarity suggest her as leader first. She was still terrified of the future, but she knew one thing.

She was now officially helping them fight the nightmares, and prepare for Nightmare Night.

Dear Princess Celestia,

Things have settled down here in Ponyville. Spike and I are doing well, and we've hit a breakthrough in our investigation. I've been given permission to tell you a bit about what's going on.

It turns out that the legend of the Mare in the Moon is real. Nightmare Moon, the nightmares, and the Elements of Harmony, they're all real. Although, the Elements aren't what ponies think they are.

During our investigation, Spike and I met three ponies who referred to themselves as the Elements of Harmony. These ponies look like regular ponies, but they're actually alicorns like you, using the magic of harmony to change form. We witnessed a friend of mine named Rainbow Dash ascend as well, becoming the fourth one.

Yes, I made a few friends, I think. Only three so far, and they're all Elements. The fourth one, a “unicorn” named Rarity, I'm not too sure of. I know she's not a unicorn anymore, but still.

Anyways, we've decided to help them in stopping the nightmares and preventing the resurrection of Nightmare Moon. There's one more Element we have to find, the Element of Laughter. I'll keep you updated regularly.

PS: Thanks for sending Spike and I here. I think this might actually be a good experience for us.

Sincerely,
Twilight Sparkle

End of Arc 2

Author's Notes:

We've finally hit the end of Arc 2. I'm still planning out Arc 3, but I do know that the next few Arcs will be character Arcs. I don't know which one I'll focus on first though.
