Chapter 7: Twilight Sparkle
    I wistfully watched as Spring hurried away. “And she seemed like such a sweet girl…” Rarity sighed.
    “We need to get away, fast.” upinde wa mvua nodded at the now-stirring Trixie. So we shot away, our hooves pounding on the ground.
    We found shelter in a hollow boulder in the middle of the forest where the village was. Rarity’s eyes flashed briefly. She hated boulders, ever since that Tom incident…
    “It’ll have to do for now, I suppose,” she muttered as she sat stiffly on the dirt.
    The six of us gathered in a circle.
    “I have reason to believe,” I began, “that the Elements must be used again.”
    Shocked murmurs arose from my friends, except for Fluttershy, who already knew.
    “I read all about it in a history of Equestria. There is a curse that only the Elements can resist. It is caused kwa hatred pointed to the Elements, and the only thing that can stop it is using the Elements to make that gppony, pony stop hating you.”
    As I finished my explanation, upinde wa mvua narrowed her eyes. “How are going to find everypony, though?”
    “Let’s think o’ a orodha of dem ponies tha’ hate us,” suggested Applejack. Fluttershy looked at the ground. "Oh, I don't want anypony to hate us!"

“Well, there’s Trixie. We have to go back for her,” I said.
    After going at it for a while, we had a short orodha of our haters. They were:

Trixie

Gilda

The Diamond Dogs

Flim and Flam

Discord (though if he escaped, we weren’t sure)…

    I hit the ground with one hoof sharply. “We need to get going!” I cried, and with that I started clopping up towards the light. “Woah there nelly!” applejack grabbed my tail firmly in her mouth.
    I stopped running and turned slowly to look into the green eyes of my friend. “What? What’s wrong?” I remarked irritably. “Too soon?”
    AJ laughed. “Say the gppony, pony who alwa’s wants ta plan ahea’.”
    “But now we n-need to stop you,” croaked Fluttershy. “This is a b-bit reckless, right? J-just to go try to save E-Equestria without any thoughts?”
    “Yeah. The only gppony, pony brave enough to try that would be me!” upinde wa mvua put in, grinning. Rarity rolled her eyes. “Remember, a lady never brags,” she reminded Rainbow.
    Now it was Rainbow’s turn to roll her eyes.
    Pinkie bounced over. “We upendo you!” she said, beaming, “and we want wewe to be happy and safe! The only thing better than being salama and happy is cake!”
    I lowered my eyes. “Maybe I did act too soon…”
    Applejack let go of my tail. “Atta girl,” she alisema cheerfully. “Now let’s make dem plans!”










Chapter 8: Pinkie Pie (SHORT CHAPTER)

WARNING: INVOLVES LOVE.
    

We slept in the hollow boulder that night. When I was sure the others were asleep, I crept out. It was hard not to wake Fluttershy, who was a very light sleeper, but I managed.
    I hurried up the kilima where I had seen the moon rising earlier that day. The moon now was directly above me, and the moonlight washed my pink mane silver.
    I looked up at the stars and moon shining daintily above my ears. A single wingu hung in the air, but it was off to one side of the sparkling things.
    “I miss you, Discord,” I whispered, thinking of his laugh and crooked smile. I felt tears well in my eyes.
    As I thought about my Lost upendo that I could tell no one about, I barely noticed as the smell of chokoleti maziwa filled the air.

When I shook my head to clear the fuzziness hanging in my brain, I finally smelled it. My eyes widened.
“Discord?” I called, starting to tremble with excitement. “DISCORD?”

Suddenly, I burst into song:






Whee! He’s back!
Whee! My upendo is back!
Whee! My life is baaaaack~
And now I’m happy as can be!

Woo! Discord will be back!
Woo! chokoleti rain will be back!
Woo! My happiness is baaaaack~
And now I’m frivolous as can be!

When he was not here,
I felt very queer!
But now… he’s back!
And I need to saaaaaaaaaaaaaaay~

Let’s go meet him!
Yay!

As I finished the heart-filled song, my upendo appeared in front of me. “Discord!” I cried, flying toward him on hooves full of joy.

Discord chuckled. “Oh, Pinkie Pie.” He hugged me gently. “I missed you.”

I laughed. “I did too!”
