//------------------------------// // Cutie mark crusaders-Prophecy completers! YAY! (Part 1) // Story: Truths of a prophecy // by Cookiedash //------------------------------// "So, uhh, where do we go to complete the prophecy?" Scootaloo asked. "Ah don't know, maybe we should head off to find somepony in 'Friendship' or maybe we could find out who or what the elements are." Applebloom suggested. "OOH! OOH! I KNOW! We could go talk to our sisters! They could help us!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed. "What, the ones who knocked Nightmare moon off of her throne? Didn't you hear what she said, and, for all the stories about her, she was kinda right about her being air to the throne." Scootaloo said. "Yeh, but they can still help us! They don't have to know what we think of Nightmare moon and they don't have to know that we think of them!" "Why shouldn't they know what we think o' 'em? We don't think badly o' 'em do we? Just 'cause we have differen' opinions on somethin' doesn't mean that we're better than them. Anyway, our sisters haven't heard Nightmare moon's story, so how should they know?" "Because" Scootaloo said, emphasizing the middle syllable of the word "because...because...huh, there is no because." "See, we don't think bad o' em, an' even if we did, we should always be honest to ourselves an' others. That's what Applejack 'as always taught me." Applebloom said. "Ok, I guess you're right. Lets go to our sisters!" "How are we supposed to get there? They're in Canterlot! And, I doubt the train conductor is just going to let us on the train." Scootaloo asked. "Hmm, Ah don't know. How's 'bout we go to the library and find out how we c'n get there?" Applebloom suggested. "And we can read up on the elements of harmony while we are there too!" Sweetie Belle chimed in. "Ughh, readings for Eggheads." "Well Scoots, it's two 'gainst one. You're comin' with us." Applebloom told her Pegasus friend. "UGHHH! Fine! we'll do some stupid studying." --Time skip-- "Hey girls! I found something!" Scootaloo called as she picked out a book "Elements of harmony-A reference guide." "Great! Now we c'n find out what these element's are." Applebloom said. "Now, let's see. There are 9 elements of harmony, 5 of them are Kindness, laughter, generosity, honesty and loyalty, those five, plus a sixth to create the main 6, also known as friendship." Scootaloo read. "What? So you mean that friendship and faith ARE the elements of harmony?" Sweetie Belle asked in disbelief. "Looks like it, hmmm, the other three complete the 9, hmm...what are they though?" Scootaloo asked nopony in particular. "Turn the page, maybe it has somethin' on the next page." Applebloom suggested. So Scootaloo turned the page. On the next page, there was a large picture of the 9 elements of harmony, 6 of them had a shape, one looked like a green butterfly, one looked like a yellow balloon, another looked like an orange apple, one a blue diamond, and one a red lightning bolt, those five surrounded a sixth which looked like a purple star. "Hey! That diamond looks like Rarity's cutie mark!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed "An' that apple looks like mah sisters cutie mark!" "The lightning bolt looks like Rainbow Dash's cutie mark! And two of the others look like Pinkie's and Fluttershy's! "But, who's cutie mark is that one in the middle?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Ah think it's the new pony's, who came ta Ponyville today. Ya know, the one with the dragon." Applebloom said. "So, our sisters and their friends are the elements of friendship?" Scootaloo asked "That's so awesome! Why didn't they tell us?" "Hmm, maybe they wanted ta keep it a secret?" Applebloom offered. "Hey look, it even tells us which ones they are! Rarity is generosity and Fluttershy is Kindness." Sweetie Belle squealed. "Applejack is honesty an' Pinkie Pie is Laughter!" Applebloom said. "Rainbow Dash is loyalty and that new pony with the dragon is-is-is, uhh, it doesn't say what she is." Scootaloo trailed off. "Hmm, You're right, but now we've figured out who our sisters our, let's figure out who we are! Look! These three at the bottom are us! Those gems don't have a shape! It says that one o' 'em is hope, one o' em is chance an' one o' em is courage! The three make up faith." Applebloom said, excitedly. "I can't believe we found out so quickly." Scootaloo stated "I mean, this book is too conveniently placed here, almost like somepony wanted us to find it." The room went silent for a few seconds. "Who cares? We found out 'bout the elements, now we c'n help our sisters!" Applebloom shouted "Come on! We have ta git ta Canterlot!" "How? We can't just get on the train and go to Canterlot, for one thing we're too young to be allowed on the train without an adult and for another, I don't think any of us have any bits even if we were allowed on." Scootaloo said. "We'll sneak onto the train. This is our mission in life, to help Nightmare moon be free of her curse and get her throne back,..oh, an' ta help our sisters clean this 'mess' the prophecy talks about." Applebloom told her friends.
