	Flare woke to a crash of thunder. The wind blew across the hills. It was a dark night. He was in his pony form, in the inn. He had a bit of money now, and he was now slightly known across town. He got out of his bed, and looked at his amulet.
It had been a week since he received his amulet. He decided he would attempt for the Element of Laughter today. Thunder crashed, and lightning flashed all over the place. It was one strong storm. The element was owned by Pinkie Pie, the party pony that had greeted him in pony form.
He put on his cloak, and took off towards the market. He bought an apple, and after eating it, took off towards Sugarcube Corner. He opened the door, and lightning flashed across the night. He saw his silhouette across the empty shop, and then walked in. He spoke.
"Scorto Molenka!" He flashed, his amulet became a sword and he became human. He looked around. There was a counter, and some stairs a little bit away. He went to the stairs.
As he climbed the stairs, lightning and thunder crashed. He saw a sign over a door labeling it Pinkie's room. He slowly opened the door. 
The pony was sleeping. Phew. Now where is that element...? He looked around, and then located it... on the pony. He sighed. As he sneaked over, he analyzed how to steal it. He attempted to take it of without waking the pony.
Suddenly the pony's eyes shot open. Crap. She gasped, and bucked him off. He slammed across the room, and slid across the floor, luckily on his feet. He readied his sword, and the pony got up. 
He dashed towards her, and was dodged. He ended up falling on the bed, and quickly span around. He jumped, and attempted to catch the pony again. He hit a wall, and flipped around. He caught his breath. The pony had it's chance. He got bucked in the stomach.
He fell to the floor, aching. He got up though. Then he dashed again. As he was bucked, his sword kind off cut a hoof. He hit a wall, and was crouched over. He clutched his sword. 
As he looked up, he saw the pony looking at it's cut. Pinkie's face was filled with worry. Suddenly, her hair decided to deflate. It was now very flat and the pony looked at him.
"Why would you cut me? That HURT!" She seemed highly angry. He ran towards her, and she was out of the way. He stopped and turned around. Suddenly a pony came on top of him. As he hit the ground, he kicked her off.
She practically snarled at him, and came at him. He went to the side of the line of fire. The pony ran by, and hit the wall. She charged again, and the same events followed. Once more, she snarled and charged. He, this time, snatched the element as she ran by.
He was tackled, and the element flew across the room. The pony ran for it, but Flare tripped her. He scrambled up and ran for it, and was kicked in the side. He flew a foot, and slammed on the ground. He saw the pony go for it, and dashed towards her. 
He slammed into the pony. As they flew into a wall, Flare stopped himself. He dashed towards the element. The pony got to it at the same time as him. He saw as the pony layed a hoof on it. He pushed the hoof away, and grabbed it. He jerked it away, and the pony hit his arm.
The element flew a little bit away, and Flare pushed the pony to the side. He was gasping, and grabbed the element and stood. He looked at the pony, a few meters away, and decided to flee with the element. 
He broke the window, and jumped out. The pony came to the window. "RAUGH!" She screamed. He ran off, and found cover. He changed into a pony in an ally. He put the element under his cloak. He took of towards his current living space.
As he arrived at the inn, he reviewed. He now had 3 elements, with kindness, generosity, and laughter.

Three left, three secured.
