But before all their victories and before they even met, these are the stories of how they became their elements. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The next chapter in this story starts with the element of Joy.The most happiest colt in Manehattan, a apprentice of  in training working the ranks to become the owner of Ganfu a restaurant that is famous for its combination of food from beyond equestrian His mane was smooth, long was the color banana mania with swirls of carrot orange. His fur was fluorescent orange along with his horn between his mane. His dark orange eyes are a little droopy from working all the time and had milky white freckles on his muzzle. This Colt’s name is Anmitsu shu cream cheung fun Caramel Swirls... Or Caramel for short. Little Caramel was eating a egg roll inside his room when he hears his parents debating. “Our restaurant should be more traditional involving the history of our countries.” “Loquat we have to be more modern so ponies won’t be bored when they walk in, besides this restaurant needs to spark show some life with exotic colors!” “Tabbouleh it can’t be too insane some of the ponies I met in Manehattan are posh so we need to tone it down a couple of notches.” “Then how could this work? This restaurant needs to be 5-star perfection!” “Why not both?” The two ponies look at Caramel Swirl whose face is covered with shrimp and lettuce, Loquat awes and picks up Caramel, grabs a napkin with her magic and wipes his cheeks and muzzle. “What do you think dear? Should we try both?” Loquat kisses Caramel’s forehead making him giggle. Tabbouleh shrugs and ruffles Caramel’s mane making giggle even more. “Yes we should! Thank you Anmitsu shu cream cheung fun Caramel Swirls you always give us wonderful ideas” “Your welcome 母親, الأب!” And thus was the start of the restaurant Ganfu, as the years passed the restaurant became one of the most popular restaurants in the country. “ابن! I need a Al Harees, and a smelly tofu with a bowl of rice and a bottle of oyster!” Tabbouleh yelled out from the kitchen, Caramel and two other chefs looked at Tabbouleh giving orders. Tabbouleh is a earth pony, he has a auburn beard and a auburn sleek, dry mane and tail. His fur was alloy orange and his cutie mark was a fork and a spoon crossed with a Arabic dish behind it. “Coming right up آب!” Caramel grabs ingredients from the pantry and starts to cook the Al Harees while the other chefs begin to cook the other dishes. “焦糖! I need a stuffed tofu and porridge with chrysanthemum tea!” Loquat shouts, Caramel mixing a bowl of meat and wheat. Loquat is a cornsilk unicorn, her mane was long, Khaki, and was wrapped into a bun. Her cutie mark was a teapot, and two cups of tea on a dark green tray. “Got it 媽媽! Oh! Can you give this to ب?” Caramel gets a bottle of oyster,  smelly tofu, and a bowl of rice from the two chefs and handed it to Loquat. “Sure 焦糖” Loquat takes the dishes and was about to walk out the kitchen before Caramel stops her. “This too please?” Caramel hands Loquat a bowl of AL Harees. “You’re quite fast today 焦糖” “Sorry 媽媽, I’m just really scared about this cooking contest!” Caramel sighs looking around nervously. “I’m sure you’ll do fine with your cooking skills and make this family proud. Now calm down so you won’t have a heart attack.” Loquat pats Caramel’s mane before walking out the kitchen. Caramel walks into the fridge opens it and grabs some tofu and places it on a wooden board, grabs a roller and starts to roll the tofu. One of the chefs went over to Caramel after putting a teapot on the oven. “Caramel you doing okay buddy?” Caramel turns to him and makes a fake grin. “Oh don’t worry about me sweet berry i’m doing just fine pal!” Sweet berry shrugs and gets back to work, Caramel sighs then uses his magic to open one of the shelf and pulls out a rice cooker. He places it on the counter plugs it into a wall. As Caramel heads to the refrigerator again he hears Tabbouleh call him. “ابن! Two of our customers would like to meet you!” “Coming آب! Potter can you take care of this for me?” The chef nods and Caramel goes out of the kitchen to meet the guests. The restaurant had a exotic and history feel to it, the walls had paintings of equestria history, the floor had the crystal empire patterns, and the ceiling had Princess Luna’s star constellation. The theme was multicultural of all of equestrian Caramel walks to the table in the middle of the room where his parents were and two unicorns who look to be from canter lot “You wanted to see me?” “Ah you must be the ganfu’s son caramel swirls correct?” Caramel nods, the unicorns wore very expensive clothing and jewelry, and look to be rather snooty. “Excuse me loquat and tabbouleh we would like to thank your son in a private manner.” Caramel looks at his parents, they were a bit suspicious of them and look at Caramel worried but shrugged and walk away. “Is Ganfu a foreign name?” “Why yes, it meant-” “I was about to say because I have never heard of a name like that here! Never in equestria before!” The two unicorns laugh, Caramel was surprised but kept calm. “I must say uh.. What was your name again?” “Oh it’s Anmitsu shu cream che-” “Caramel swirls yes, how exactly do you make these delicious food in seconds?” “Thank you I learned it from my.. Father I’ve been training under him since.” “That must explain the missing cutie mark..” The colt mutters making the mare nod and giggle. “Excuse me but if that’s all the questions you have for me I’ll be going now.” Caramel was about to leave till the mare stops him. “Wait I have just one more question for you” Caramel gulps then turns around. “Um..yes?” “How can you cook so well if you don’t have a talent?” Caramel’s eyes widen, he looks at his blank flank and hides it with his tail. “I-I don’t know I-I’m s-sorr-” “Alright that’s enough no more questions for the dude beat it!” A mare walks in front of the scared unicorn and glares at the couple. “T-Thank you Sunny Daze..” “How dare you speak to me and my stallion like that you Californeighan! We are guests we should be treated with respect!” The mare stomps her hoof and huffs, Sunny Daze huffs back. This causes all of the customers and workers including Caramel’s parents to look at the commotion. “I’m this dude’s pal, and he’s the one who decided to gift you with food so don’t bully him and treat him with respect!” “Enough of this chatter! Both of you pay and get out of our restaurant of else I will force you out!” The two look at Tabbouleh in shock before huffing, throwing bits on the ground and stomping out of the restaurant. “Just so you know you lost yourself two guests!” The door slams loudly causing the Bell to ring a lot, Tabbouleh sighs and turns to Sunny Daze. “Every-pony calm down the problem is gone you can return to eating your food now as for you thank you Miss Daze, for defending my Son.” Everything was back to normal, Sunny Daze nods and wraps his arm around Caramel who was looking gloom as ever. "Nah it’s fine dude just a friend in need right Caramel?... Caramel?” Tabbouleh and Sunny look at Caramel, he sighs and removes Sunny’s hoof from him. “Father..can I take a break please?” Tabbouleh nods and lets him walk into the kitchen. “焦糖! Are you alright?! I heard some pony was-” “It’s fine Mom, I just need a break..” Caramel walks upstairs to his room, his parents looks at him worried. “Did they question about the.. You know” “Yes Loquat..yes they did. We need to talk about this.” The whole entire day Caramel was under his covers stuck in his room, he twist and turn feeling frustrated and upset. After closing hours every pony went home and Caramel’s parents went upstairs. Caramel hears a knock but doesn’t bother to answer. “焦糖! Chung fun! I left leftovers in the refrigerator if you want something to eat!” “Thank you Mom..” “Do you.. Want to talk abo-” “No thank you Mom…” “Oh..oh okay.. I love you goodnight!” “Goodnight..” Caramel sighs hearing his Mother’s hooves trot away, Caramel sighs and looks outside his window to see Luna’s moon and stars shine over Manehattan. “Should we send Caramel to cooking school?” “Nonsense Loquat there’s nothing wrong with the boy he’s just a late bloomer that’s all!” “Tabbouleh I’m.. I’m so scared some-pony will hurt him just because he doesn’t have his cutie mark yet” “Which is why he’s going to stay here until the day the cooking contest starts that way he’ll get his cutie mark problem solved!” “Tabbouleh what if.. What if cooking isn’t his talent?” “.....No..no cooking needs to be his talent it has to be! Otherwise.. I.. I can’t help my son..” “Tabbouleh..” ‘I wish these walls were soundproof’ Caramel puts a pillow over his ears trying to ignore the conversation next door. He looks at the posters of all kinds of chefs from pony to griffon to moose in front of him. “How did you guys find your talent? How did you become so great?” Caramel didn’t expect an answer from the posters, he looks at his window again. “Manehattan the city that make dreams come true.. I never really got to explore the place.. Maybe.. If I explore I’ll find my answer!” Caramel opens his window and used his magic to float over to his parents window, they sleeping peacefully. He floats down outside the black fence and took a look at his surroundings. Some ponies were walking by as carts were driven by colts and over puddles. Lights from Windows and street lights shines spots on street.The wind blew paper and plastic bags, one poster flew on Caramel’s face, he took it off and looked at it. “Hmm? What’s this?” The poster had two ponies, a griffon, and a donkey playing instruments and the title of their band was called the Manhattan stars and said where they were playing. The first pony was a Pegasus who was holding a guitar, with a microphone in front of her. Her mane was in a messy brown ponytail, and wore green square-frame glasses. Her fur was maroon, her wings were small, and her cutie mark was a guitar with musical notes around it. The second pony was a crystal pony who was playing the keyboard. His mane was short ,medium violet red , pulled back, and had a hot pink hat. His fur was pale violet red and his cutie mark was piano keys. The griffon was larger than everyone else playing the bass, her feathers were white and spring green, her wings were large, white with a tint of green and had the body of a leopard. Lastly the donkey was playing the drums and had fur covering his eyes and almost his mouth. His fur was dark grey and his ears were long. “What are those things their holding? Oof!” Caramel horn all of sudden made him drop to the floor then started to drag him to someplace. “Ow! Why can’t I stop myself from moving!?” His horn dragged him all over the city sightseeing all kinds of stores, buildings then lead him to a alleyway that had one run down bar. Caramel was finally able to stop moving and took a look at the bar. “Huh? What is this place? Whoa!” Caramel’s horn lead him into the bar and forced him to sit on a chair in front of a stage. Inside the bar was rather clean and had some ponies, and even crystal ponies in seats either drinking or chattering. A colt wearing a bow tie and holding a microphone came out of the curtains alarming every-pony’s attention. “Good evening every-pony tonight we have been honored to meet the stars that makes Manehattan so bright and awake, mares and gentle-colts I present the Manehattan stars!” Ponies cheer as the curtains roll up to reveal the band, the colt places the microphone in front of the pony holding the guitar. “Thanks dude, how’s every-pony doing?” “Awesome Star light!” “Awesome, all of you ponies sit tight cause we’re gonna play jazz that will smooth the soul and mind! A 1! A 2! A 1 2 3!” Smooth jazz plays throughout the bar and through Caramel’s ears making him move side to side. ‘This..this is amazing.. The things their playing.. The beats.. The sounds.. Makes me want to.. Want to boogie!!’ All of sudden Caramel Swirls jumps out of his chair and starts to dance scaring the ponies but surprisingly made the band more excited and play music more louder. “Wow! Look at that pony over there dudes come on get your plots off your chairs and start dancing!” Star light said while strumming her guitar, ponies did what the mare said and started to dance along with Caramel swirls who was dancing in the spotlight, Star light jumps in front of Caramel. “Sup little dude wanna have a spin at the mic?” Star light said while looking at Caramel’s flank, Caramel nods and was given the microphone he jumps on the the stage and starts to sing, all of a sudden ponies start to play trumpets. ‘Manehattan! The city where dreams come true! Where you can find carrot dogs and salty pretzels Cross over the bridge of New yoke city and you’ll find Manehattan! Ride on a ferry boat and look upon the breezy sea Come! Watch the spectacular musical of Hinny of the Hills! The clothing of fashion week will make your eyes glow with wonder! Wow!

Welcome to Manehattan! Yeah!! The music stops and ponies applauded Caramel, Caramel was out of breath his mane was a little frazzled and he was rather excited. Star light wrapped her shoulder around Caramel. “Holy cow! I never seen such excitement from a pony, you can’t even stop moving!” Caramel looks down and see he can’t stop swaying and moving up and down. “You sure got musical talent dude!” “This is music?” “Of course it is! Take a bow my friend you just got yourself some new fans!” Caramel looks at the crowd cheering and smiled. He took a bow as he felt so happy, forgetting his mission, backstage the bar was almost about to close, Caramel was in the dressing room along with the band who was putting their instruments away and was getting ready to leave. “Are you guys going to stay here any longer?” Caramel asks who still can’t stop moving. “Sorry friend of Sunny Daze but this was our last trip here, we’re going to Baltimare next” The crystal pony said as he carries his keyboard and walks out the back door where their trailer was, Caramel tilts his head confused till Star light, took her glasses off, takes her eye contacts off, then wipes her face with a white cloth. “Wait... You’re Starlight, Sunny Daze?” “..How come I’m not as shock as I was before?” Sunny rolls her eyes, putting her guitar in her case. “I was actually coming to get you this afternoon but you were all mopey dopey so.. How did you get here?” Caramel shrugs. “No idea, my horn just drags me.” “Think your horn can drag you all the way home?” Caramel taps his horn. “Nope ran out of juice apparently” “Well come on then, Clover will take you home.” After Sunny wipes all of the paint off of her and points at the Griffon who’s putting away her bass. All of them got into the van and drove Caramel home, once they got there Caramel got out of the van. “Thanks Sunny!” “No prob Dude, I’ll come visit ya next month. So remember to never stop dancing and to never stop smiling Kay?” “Okay Sunny bye!” The van drives away, and Caramel turns around to see his Mother who looks like she’s been crying for hours and his father who looks furious. “U-Um.. H-Hi-” “Your grounded for a whole year..sniff” His Mother starts to cry again, as his Father begins to talk to him. “HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING SO RECKLESS AND STUPID!? I NEVER TAUGHT MY SON TO BE SO CARELESS AS TO LEAVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT! NOT TELL HIS PARENTS WHERE HE’S GOING! HANG OUT WITH A BUNCH OF TROUBLEMAKERS! AND WORRY HIS PARENTS FOR DEAR LIFE!! AND LOOK AT YOU YOU’RE DIRTIER THAN DIRT IT SELF! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!! YOU’RE GOING TO BE WASHING DISHES ONLY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE-” “HEY QUIET DONKEY WE’RE TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!!” Tabbouleh gets cut off by a neighbor who opens his window and yells at him, Tabbouleh yells back. “NO YOU SHUT UP WRECKER!!” Loquat puts her hoof on Tabbouleh which calms him down a bit. “Honey let’s just scold him inside” Loquat grabs Caramel’s ear and brings him inside as he mutters ow. “Fine.. BUT I’M NOT DONE WITH YOU WRECKER AND YOUR STUPID WRECKING BALL!!” “WHY DON’T YOU SAY IT TO MY FACE!! A ZERO-STAR CHEF WHO SINGS LIKE A SEAGULL!!” “YOU’RE-” “HONEY COME ON!!” “Curse him and his wrecking ball...” Tabbouleh mutters as he walks inside. He was about to start talking to him again but Caramel cuts him off. “I know آب I did something really bad and I should be punished for it, but I was.. Forced by my magic to go to this bar and-” “YOU WENT INTO A BAR!?!” “I know 媽媽 that’s bad but I met this band called the Manehattan stars, and they played this thing called music and it made me so.. So HAPPY!!” Caramel jumps scaring his parents. “I was able to dance my hooves off! Drums banged, Piano keys pushed, the strums of bass and guitar made me sway side to side! I was able to sing! So I sung to the HIGHEST I EVER COULD~ IT WAS THE GREATEST EXPERIENCE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!” Caramel’s parents looked at him completely shocked, then Tabbouleh sighs, puts his head down in shame and walks upstairs. “I’m sorry 媽媽 I didn’t mean to-” “Caramel just.. Just go to bed please”Loquat puts her hoove on her forehead, Caramel nods and goes up stairs to go to sleep. The next day Caramel was force to to stay in his room, Loquat knocks the door and opens it, holding a plate of eggs, apple juice, and tofu bacon. “Here you go Caramel eggs, apple juice, with tofu bacon just how you like it.” Caramel took the plate and juice but didn’t bother to eat it, Loquat sighs and hugs Caramel. “媽媽, I.. I know I did something wrong but.. I I didn’t mean to make  آب mad.. I just wanted to get my cutie mark..” “Oh Caramel is that what this is all about?” Caramel nods making Loquat sigh. “I should probably tell you about your father and his cutie mark problem” "اب had the same problem as me?” “Yes and it was before we even met, your father’s family were all chefs so he was next to be a chef but he didn’t want to become a chef, instead he wanted to play the Buzuq and sing his heart out. Your father tried he tried so hard to sing and play but no matter what he could never get what he wanted and had no cutie mark for many years, after we met he eventually gain his cutie mark but never tried to sing or play ever again since it would break his family’s tradition.” “So your father tried to keep music away from you but we both knew that wasn’t going to happen now he’s afraid that your going to go through the same phase as him now and that you’re going to be frustrated and disappointed just like he did fifteen years ago..” Caramel eyes widen at his father’s story, was silent for a few minutes trying to take it all in. He shook his head and looked at his Mother hurt. “I won’t be disappointed at all” “Caramel you don’t know that” “Yes I do! Please let me try music just once! Hay it may even help me win this competition! And even if it doesn’t oh well I’ll still like it while I’ll cook tofu for you!” Loquat sighs before hugging Caramel and nods. “Okay Caramel but please don’t do anything dangerous like that again I don’t want you get hurt” Caramel nods hugging his Mother back. “Don’t worry I’ll never do anything that crazy again I’m sorry I’m really am” His Mother lets him go. "Now finish your breakfast and come to the kitchen today’s a day off” Caramel nods already finishing his food, Loquat leaves the room not before kissing Caramel on his forehead. After Caramel finishes, he walks out the door to see his Father waiting. “...Hi  اب” “ابن” A few awkward minutes past before Caramel slowly walking away but then stop to look at his Father. “Caramel Swirls?” “Yes Dad?” “I’ll never stop loving you no matter what” Caramel smiles and hugs his father who hugs him back. “Thanks Dad!” “Your welcome now start washing those dishes you hear?” Caramel nods and starts to do his chores. The next few weeks Loquat and Tabbouleh taught him different recipes for the cooking contest. “Good morning everypony and welcome to Manehattan’s first cooking contest!” A unicorn reporter shouted excitedly at the the camera in front of her, behind her is a long and wide room displaying multiple chefs dishes, and chefs cooking in front of ponies. Three ponies sit in front of a large stage conversing. The first pony was chef Buttershy, the second was Baker Wolves, and last was Chef Pork lo maine. Caramel, his parents, and a few other workers carrying things under white cloths. “Chefs who’s participating in the cooking contest please come to the main stage, guests sit behind the judges and wait as the contest begins in five minutes.” “This is it.” “Try your best Caramel and don’t give up” “I won’t Mother” Loquat nods, Tabbouleh pats Caramel’s mane avoiding his horn. “Don’t let the other chefs scare you okay” “Nothing will scare me expect for the judges bye every pony! Caramel said carrying his food on a white cloth and walking to the stage. The first round was entrees, Caramel’s dish was Neighese Spring Rolls the rest of judges thought it tasted fantastic expect for chef Buttershy who  thought it needed more lettuce and butter in it. The next round was beverages, Caramel’s drink was Jiffy Punch. This time Chef Pork lo Maine thought the drink was too tangy and spicy. The last round was desserts and Caramel presented a dish no one expected. Caramel placed his last plates covered by a metal lid in front of the judges. “So Swirls what do you have for the last round?” Baker Wolves said before removing the metal lid and revealing it to be a.. “It is a Apple cheesecake made with fresh diced Granny Smith apples and a hint of cinnamon in a lusciously rich creamy cheesecake and topped with more apple slices, I made it by myself and it was my recreation of what I thought of Manehattan.” The chefs nod looking at the cheesecake then grabbing their forks and taking a bite of the sliced cakes. The chefs eyes widen at the taste and kept eating it. “Mmph! This is.. So rich and creamy!” “The cake’s toppings are shaped into a rose! Beautiful!” “I don’t want to eat it but I just can’t help it!” “Thank you chefs!”  Caramel said feeling quite proud of himself. After all of the Judges judge the food it was time to see who was first, second and third place. “The bronze medal goes to junior chef Raspberry!” A purple colored crystal Pegasus goes on the award stand and claims his bronze trophy. “The silver medal goes to.. Uh.. How do you pronounce this?” One of the bodyguards looked at the card the host was holding and whisper it in his ears. “Anmitsu shu cream cheung fun Caramel Swirls!”  Caramel’s eyes widen slightly but smiles gets on the award stand and claims his silver trophy. “That’s my boy!! That’s my boy!!” “Mama’s so proud of you Caramel!!” Caramel sees his parents and waves at them. “And the one who claims first place, gets ten million bits, and a trip to Canterlot is.. Daisy!!” Ponies cheered for the cream-colored deer as she goes on top of the award stand and claim her prizes. “That’s all folks come to Appleloosa for the next cooking contest!!” After the contest ends, animals start to leave. Caramel and his parents leave the hall start to walk home. “It’s a shame I didn’t get my cutie mark..” Caramel sadly smiles looking at his flank. “It’s okay Caramel there’s always next time.” “Yes and this will give me the chance to teach you some Buzuq” “Really?!” Caramel’s eyes sparkled at the word Buzuq, his father nods making Caramel jump for joy. Caramel looks at his silver medal that shined, then he heard a sound in the distance, he looked up at the sky to see a faint image of a rainbow that made Caramel’s eyes glow a rainbow hue. “You know what I’m actually rather happy to not have a cutie mark for once.” “Why is that Chung fun?” “Because I can try whatever I want without having some pony telling me what I should be doing.  I learned so much from my musical adventure and I was able to find the music in me, it made me realize it’s not about being able to do this better than others, it’s about the Joy you gain from it that makes you feel pure happiness. That’s what I am right now filled with joy by the two things I love cooking and music!” Caramel says with his eyes closed, spinning. When he stopped spinning and opened his eyes he was greeted with his parents eyes popped out and jaws dropped to the floor. Caramel tilted his head. “What?” “...C-Cutie..” “...M-Mark..” They point at Caramel’s flank, Caramel looks at his flank and sees his cutie mark. It was two musical notes shaped like a fork and spoon criss cross in front of a Caramel swirled cake with Caramel cubes and small musical notes danced around the cake. “..I...got..my..cutie..Mark......................I GOT MY CUTIE MARK!!! WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!” Caramel jumped so high he jumped into space and then back to his home where parents were standing. “I GOT MY CUTIE MARK!! I GOT MY CUTIE MARK!! I DID IT!! YEAH!!!” Five weeks later Caramel and his parents come to ponyville. Caramel’s parents blindfold him and take him somewhere slightly away from ponyville. They take his blindfold off so he could see what was in front of him. It was a large run down farm with large open fields, with a old abandoned mill. “This.. Is.. AMAZING!!” “We’re happy you like it Caramel, this was great great great great great great great grandmother’s farm and restaurant, it was going to be demolished but Tabbouleh claim ownership of the place and decided to give it you.” “But why?” “It’s a graduation gift.” “Gift?” Loquat pulled out something from her bag and gave it to Caramel, it was a official chef uniform and hat along with a small red ribbon. “From now on you are Chef Anmitsu shu cream cheung fun Caramel Swirls.” “Wow! T-Thank you so much guys!!” Caramel puts the uniform on and ties the ribbon on his mane. “There’s one last thing I wanted to give you Caramel.” Tabbouleh goes into his bag and pulls out a guitar case and gives it to Caramel. “Is this..?” “Yup, my old Buzuq she’s been with me for all my life take care of her well” “I will! Don’t worry about miss Buzuq!” Caramel jumps for joy making his parents laugh but Loquat starts to cry. “Aww Mama..” “I’m sorry it’s just.. I’m going to miss you so much some of our employees and even some of your family are coming to help and live with you here but.. I don’t want to leave my little Chung fun..” Loquat cries harder and hugs Caramel, Caramel looks at his father who is sniffing almost about to break apart. “Papa you too?” “I can’t help it! My boy is growing up into a horse!” Tabbouleh starts to cry hugging both of them hard which causes Caramel to cry alongside them. After twenty minutes they finally let go and wave goodbye to Caramel. Caramel wipes his tears take a very long deep breath and look at the farm. “Today’s the day I become a true chef! And what a beautiful day it is too, hello ponyville here I come and see you smile!!” Caramel cheers dancing go Ponyville ready to make some friends.
