The sun was on the horizon when a group of ponies arrived at the small town called Ponyville. There were nine ponies in total. One of ponies was a gray unicorn.His mane and tail are a light blue color. He took about five steps forward, stopped, and takes a quick look at the town. He took a deep breath,turns around, and looks at the rest of the ponies.

“What’s wrong, Neo?” says a red Pegasi. His mane and tail are as black as night. It looked like he had no mane or tail. “What’s the matter, you been acting weird since we left home and started on this journey.”

“I don’t know, Ryder....I thought we would never find the home the holders of the Elements of Harmony.” said Neo. He looked at his legs, they were shaking, not of fear, but of excitement! Its so long since I been this excited thought Neo. I can’t remember the last time been this excited. “Okay, now that we are here, let’s take roll.” He clears his throat. “Okay, I know that Ryder is here.”

“You’re damn right that I’m here.” He grinned as he looked at the sky. Ryder doesn’t like do things without a reason, but the real reason he came is that he wants to challenge the winner of the Young Flier Competition, that and he heard that the winner is a girl and that she’s hot. “I didn’t come here for nothing,” he chuckled.

“Okay, then Cyrus?” asked Neo as he looked at the ponies.

“Yeah, I’m here.” came a voice. A black unicorn was walking towards Neo. His mane and tail are white with yellow streaks. “Cyrus, reporting for duty, oh fearless leader.” teased Cyrus. He never liked anyone but his friends and his brother, who ran in front him and stopped in front of Neo.

“And Zane, reporting for duty, sir!” Shouted the unicorn. He almost looked like his brother, but the only thing that separated them was their mane and tail. His was just yellow. Then two other ponies ran and stopped right by him.

“Rex, reporting for duty, sir!” yelled the one of colts. Rex was a red earth pony with a blue mane and tail. He wore a pair of black shades, he never took them of. No matter the situation. He also never liked the color of his eyes. They remind him too much of his mother. He hated his mother.

“Jun, reporting for duty, bro.” responded the colt.He was a gray, like his brother, but his mane was a dark blue. He yawned. “Now, where do w-”

“Not now, Bro.” replied the gray unicorn. “I know that you’re tired, but this is more important.” He took a deep breath, then yawned. “Okay, now wher- oh, yeah. Gale, are you here?”

“Yeah, I am.” He called out. Gale was a blue earth pony with a light green mane and tail. He’s one of the best colts Neo ever met. If you were sad, he bring a smile back on your face with in 5 seconds, but if you make him mad, he’ll try to kill you. He never gets angry, but when Neo saw him get angry.....it made him pee, yeah, that’s how scary it was. “I can’t wait until we meet the the holders of the Elements of Harmony! I heard one likes to throw parties!” He said as he skipped around Neo.

“Okay, okay. Calm down, Gale! We’ll meet them, just calm down.” chuckled Neo.

“Okay, I’ll calm down.” said Gale. He took in a deep breath, then his face expression changed. He was giggling first, now he’s all serious.This is the only thing that Neo hates about him, how fast he is able to change his face expression.

“Okay, Axel?” asked Neo. He looked at the group of ponies. “Come on, Axel! We don’t have all day!” He looked at at the group of ponies,again, and again...and again. Then he heard a voice behind him.

“Here.”

When Neo turned around, he came face-to-face with a brown pegasi.

“AAAAHHH!” screamed the unicorn. “By Celestia’s mom! Don’t do that!!”

The brown pegasi fell on the ground, laughing. Tears filled the pony’s eyes. “Dude! You should of seen your face! Priceless!” He continued to laugh. His mane and tail are mix of bronze and silver color. He loves to scare ponies, especially fillies and mares. One time, he scared a mare so bad that the colt always took a knife with her where ever she went. “Whew..now that’s over with...” He took in a deep breath. “Continue...whew...that was definitely priceless.”

“Jeez...I’m going get you one of these days.” Neo warned the pegasi. The pegasi responded by sticking his tongue out. “Oh, that’s very mature of you....now who’s left? Ah, yes... Drake, are you here?

“Yeah, I’m here.” said the earth pony. He was an dark green pony with very dark blue mane....and tail. Drake loves to push himself to the limit. Out of all six, excluding my brother and his friends, Drake is the strongest. “Now that we are all here, What’s the plan?”

“Okay, everyone, you better listen closely because I’m not repeating this.” All the ponies looked at him with mischievous looks. “Okay, here’s the plan..."

“Dude! Twilight, that best party that Pinkie Pie threw so far!” said the purple dragon as he walked in the house. He was wearing a purple party hat. “I almost went deaf since how loud the music was. What did you think of the party, Twilight?

“The party was great, Spike.” responded the lavender pony. She yawned.”Come on, Spike. let’s go to bed.” She started to push the little dragon up the stairs, but her hooves hurt so from the dancing and Spike’s weight didn’t help.

“But Twilight, I’m.....” Spike was starting to yawn. “....not......tired.” His eyes began to droop. He was struggling to keep his eyes open. He almost fell asleep on last steps of the stairs. Twilight helped him get into bed. Just as she got done tucking him in, he started to snore and sleep talk. “Come here.....Rarity.....I’m going....to..catch you..” He giggled,then turned around and started to snore again.

The unicorn chuckled at the sight. She yawned as she made her way to the bed. Something doesn't fell right, she thought. She looked out her window and stared at the stars. Everything looks peaceful, something doesn’t fell right. She sighed. She got in her blankets and turned off the lights with her magic. She looked at the sky once more, Everything is going to be alright in the morning. She yawned, then before she fell into deep sleep, she heard a small whisper.

We are here, holders of the Elements of Harmony....

********

When Twilight heard the whisper, she opened her eyes and got up. She looked to her right and left. She was astounded where she was. She was in a meadow. This doesn’t make any sense, she thought. I was just at my house. Where am I? Then a voice came from the right.

“Twilight!”

She turned to the voice. No one was there, but the voice still came. “Twilight!” She couldn’t make out the gender of the voice, but it sounded like who ever was calling her name needs help.

“Hold on!! I’m coming!” yelled the unicorn. She ran to towards the voice. “Twilight!” The voice started to fade. “Wait! I’m coming! Please, wait!” she was screaming at the top of her lungs. “Twilight!” The voice was starting to fade faster. Then a group of familiar voices came from her left and right. “Twilight!” From her right, there was Rarity and Rainbow Dash. And from her left was Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy.

“What are you doing here,Twilight?” asked the white unicorn while she was checking her mane to see if it was messed up in any way.

“I was going to ask you the same question.” She looks at her friends. “Does any pony know where we are?” All of them shook their heads in unison. All but Pinkie Pie, who was staring at a hill “Um.... girls, do you see what I see?” The mares looked at the hill. On top of the hill, there were six ponies. One of the ponies was a gray unicorn with a light blue mane. And he was staring right at Twilight!

“Are you the holder of the Element of Magic?” he asked, his voice calm. She nodded in agreement. “Come over here if you will.” he commanded. She did as she was told. When she got close enough to see the colt’s face, she saw that his eyes were a crimson color. She stopped right in front of him. “Guys, leave us if you would.” he told the ponies behind. They nodded in agreement.

“Just don’t do any funny business.” Chuckled one of ponies as they walked toward Twilight’s friends. “You too, Ryder.” responded the stallion. Ryder gave out a small laugh. Twilight looked at the stallion’s cutie mark while he was talking to his friend, Ryder. His cutie mark was a sword and a shield. She was dumbstruck when she looked at it.

“Like what you see?” the colt asked. Twilight turned to see that the colt was looking at her with his crimson eyes, those gorgeous eyes. Twilight blushed at thought she just had. She opened her mouth when he lift his hoof.

“The name’s Neo.” he said with a grin.

“Twilight.” said the lavender pony. She shook his hoof. “Twilight Sparkle.”

“A beautiful name for a beautiful mare.” Neo told her with a heart-warming smile.

Twilight blushed. “Um...Thanks, that’s...very kind of you.” She looked at the ground. Was she developing feelings for a pony that she just meet seven or eight minutes ago? “Um..What does your cutie mark stand for?” she began, trying to change the subject.

“The sword means truth and justice.” lied the colt. The cutie mark wasn’t his true cutie mark. It was just a fake one. He doesn’t like his true cutie mark. Well, his cutie mark does have its benefits. “And the shield means dependable and trustworthy. In short terms, I’m one of the good guy.”

“That’s um..nice.” She scratched her head. “Okay, here’s another question. Where are we? And are we even in Equestria?” she asked with concern. The thing is that she does like the place but its just too...quiet. Peaceful. It scared her.

“We are dreaming...all of us are.” he said with enthusiasm. “But in this dream, I’m in control.”

“Wait, we are dreaming?”

“Yes.”

“And you’re in control?”

“Yup”

She laughed. “You must be joking! The only ponies that are able to do that are Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.”

Neo raised his eyebrow. “You don’t believe me?” The unicorn nodded. He sighed. “Guess I have to make you believe.” He closed his eyes and his horn started glow.

“How are-” The lavender pony was cut off when the ground started to shake. And from the ground came a creature that scares her the most.

A snake.

She screamed, of course. The snake lunged at them. She screamed even louder. The thing Neo was afraid of wasn’t the snake, it was if he was able to hear again. But the the only part of was amazing was that she clutching him for dear life. Yes, even in near death experiences, he got the girl. One way or another.

“Freeze.” Neo stretched his hoof out.

When Twilight stopped screaming, which was about five or six minutes, she opened her eyes......and saw the fangs the snake just inches away from her face. She screamed.

“For Celestia, PLEASE! Please, shut..your...mouth. Just for one minute. Okay?” The mare nodded. “Jeez, I think I went deaf in one ear,” he rubbed his ear. “Okay, Now watch this.” He took a deep breath. “Be gone!” he yelled. And right when he said that, the snake exploded like a fire cracker.

“That...that still.....proves...nothing..” Twilight gasped out the words.

“For Celestia’s sake, wasn’t a snake exploding good enough for you?”

“Nope.”

He sighed. “This is going to be a very long dream.”

Twilight let out a small giggle.

He looked a her with a grin, "But it won't be that bad."
