Krizak's Compendium of Concise Chronicles

We had no idea this would happen, mind you. It was the first time in equine history that any pony had used the Elements of Harmony three times; even Princess Celestia herself has only used them twice. I sometimes wonder how our lives would have changed had we been able to use the Elements when the Changeling Queen attacked my brother's wedding; a lot changed between us in the year before Tirek's invasion, and it was those changes that helped us accept what had happened.

Oh, but that's getting into hypothetical situations. The simple truth of the matter is, when we united the power of the Elements to drive away Tirek's army of darkness, the bonds of love and friendship strengthened in ways we could have never have imagined. At that moment—

Seriously, Twilight, what are you up to? Are you trying to write that autobiography again?

I will be satisfied with what I write this time, I'm certain of it!

Are you certain, darling? I would hate to see your heart crushed again as you throw out yet another near-complete draft, and I don't say that simply because I would feel the despair as well.

You too, Rarity? The world needs to hear our story. The consequences of using the Elements of Harmony thrice needs to be written and published, so that any future Bearers have all the data and can make an informed decision.

Uh, couldn't one of the Princesses tell the Bearers about that? They'll still be around, right?

But what if they aren't?! The first time we used the Elements, Princess Celestia was abducted and Luna was... not available. We need contingency measures in place, and what better place than in a book? ...don't think I didn't feel that groan!

Really, Twilight, I feel that you're a bit—

Rarity, Rarity, I just had a great idea! We take marshmallow fluff and spread it all over your inner thighs, all the way up to—

Pinkie! What have I said about discussing our love life over the link?! The other's do not want to hear about it!

Hey, don’t put words in my mind! I don’t mind hearing about it at all!

...fine, I do not want others hearing about it! Pinkie, my dear, what goes on in our bedroom should stay in our bedroom.

Oh. Okay. ...so does that mean that I can talk about what we did out on the balcony? Because that was so fun, girls, I mean, Rarity did this thing—

Hold up there, sugarcube, I already had to live through it once. I definitely do not need the play-by-play.

What!?

It wasn’t exactly my idea of a fun time, Rarity. I was trying to get to sleep after a long night of preparing for the zap apples when suddenly you two were making more racket than a minotaur in a magic shop.

Wait a second, you aren’t blaming us, are you? Because we waited for the agreed-upon time.

Yes, Pinkie is absolutely correct. You were supposed to be asleep by then, Applejack! That’s the rule that we established to maintain some semblance of privacy despite our situation.

And I would have been, but you know about the zap apples! Those traditions wait for nopony! And I wouldn’t have even have mentioned it if Pinkie weren’t so set on making me relive it!

Girls, girls, calm down, no need to be unreasonable! If our rules needs some modification, we can all meet up for dinner and figure things out. But for now, could we please be quiet? I don’t want to wake—

I WAS TRYING TO SLEEP!

—Fluttershy...

Oh, I’m so terribly sorry, girls, I didn’t mean to snap at you. It’s just that I was up all night tending to my nocturnal friends and I’m so very sleepy right now... Wait, Rarity, what is that I’m feeling from you?

So you... felt us as well... last night?

Um... I... I tried to ignore it... as best I could... Pinkie’s so loud...

Wait, am I the only one who missed this? What a bummer.

You all should have missed it! ...okay, calm, calm. Girls, we will discuss this in person over dinner tomorrow night, as Twilight suggested. Until then, I am going to my very best to ignore the link.

Oooh, oooh, I’ll make dessert!

I reckon we all assumed that, Pinkie, and I guess that leaves me to cook the meal itself.

I could try—

No, you couldn’t. You’re banned, remember?

And so are you!

But I don’t keep trying!

Twilight, dear, please, let it go...

Fine, fine, I’ll just get back to writing this very important book.

Yeah, you keep telling yourself that.

AHEM! Though it hasn’t been without its fair share of challenges, this link with my friends has brought me closer to them than I ever thought possible. For better or for worse.
