A large rounded table, floated gently in the sky. It was almost weightless as Twilight carried it with her magic. She rotated it a few times, although it was round it still needed to have a certain way for the legs to be facing, and placed it down. Twilight put her hoof on her head and moaned.
“Spike,” Twilight spoke calmly, turning her head. “can you bring the chairs in?”
“Sure, Twilight! Hey, is that new pony, Quicksilver, coming? I heard that she is smart, she could help.” The purple baby dragon smiled, dragging a chair slowly into the room. The chair was beautiful, with a wooden frame and a red seat on it.
“No, Spike. This is all strictly Element business. I can’t be responsible for dragging in innocent ponies who don’t have a clue to what it means. They could get hurt.” Twilight levitated another chair, exactly the same as the other one, into the room and placed it down.
“She’s a unicorn, isn’t she?” Spike said, placing the chair down and trying to make it look perfect.
“Yes, Spike.” Twilight nodded, levitating another chair. “I still can’t be responsible for anypony getting injured. What would Princess Celestia say?”
“I don’t know, Twilight. If it could help save the world-”
“One pony can be saved if we don’t drag them in!” Twilight snapped, dropping the chair down angrily. “Spike, I don’t see why you have to be so persistent. Just let it be.” Twilight looked to her left to see the fallen chair and sighed calmly. She levitated it up again and placed it beside the others.
The room became quiet as the chairs were put into their proper places. Spike would wobble to work, dragging chairs. Twilight would use her magic with ease to bring it to the table. There was a knock on the door.
Twilight let out a slight yawn and then walked over to the door, going around the table. “Hello? Who is it?” She smiled, hoping to hear the voices of her dear friends.
“Quicksilver, dear.” A voice like fog rolled in and left a soft echoing ring. “I came to talk about this meeting, the one you are holding for the elements?”
Twilight flicked her ear and then opened the door softly. “Yes, Quicksilver? What about it?”
“Well, Rarity told me more about your talents. I was wondering if I could read that book for a while.” Quicksilver smiled softly, tilting her head and batting her eyes.
“I don’t know, Quicksilver. It would be a lot for you to take in. Rarity has her was of, expanding, the truth.” Twilight scuffed her hoof on the ground, thinking softly.
“Oh, Twilight Sparkle. I can pay you back. It isn’t like I can get gifts from the Princess, and I just moved here. I could be your best friend forever.” She, Quicksilver, waved her hoof in the air softly, before turning around and seeing Rarity, along with Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.
“Quicksilver?” Rarity smiled softly, flicking her ear. “I haven’t seen you since last night.”
Pinkie Pie tilted her head, with a new mane style and mascara on. She looked over at Twilight and smiled widely. “Twilight, Rarity helped me with a new mane style. Very pretty, right?”
The mane style, in fact, was extremely similar to Rarity’s. Fluttershy’s did, too. Twilight laughed a bit.
“What?” Rarity snorted, smiling. “I thought the look should spread so I can make a fashion statement. Then, when I change it, my mane will be most original.”
“I’m hoping you won’t copy Carrot Top’s mane. Then you’d have to dye it orange.” Twilight joked softly. Nobody really laughed, and Rarity let out a disgusted snort.
“Like I would dye my mane. At least Pinkie and Fluttershy had common sense not to ask for that. It ruins that natural look.” Rarity retorted, flattening her ears and pushing her hoof against her own chest.
Pinkie Pie smiled and then looked over at Quicksilver. “Whoa!” She gasped loudly. “You really do have a pretty mane!” Pinkie Pie laughed brightly and then shook her head (like a dog), releasing her mane of the tight, curly pull and it had went back to it’s normal style of a fluffy mess, curling a bit at the tip.
Fluttershy walked up to Quicksilver and smiled, responding to the glory of Quicksilver’s bright mane. “Rarity told us it was pretty, but that was an understatement. Your mane is beautiful.”
Quicksilver smiled slightly. “Why, Thank you. I always get those type of compliments at the weather department,”
A flash of a blue pegasus went around the library and halted to a direct stop in front of Rarity. “Sorry if I’m late,” Rainbow Dash started. “I was practicing my new tricks.”
“As I was saying,” Quicksilver pointed her hoof at her mane with a smile. “at the weather department, I get those type of compliments all the time. I just wish the ponies would stick around, not because of my beauty, but because of my intellect.”
Rainbow Dash perked her ears. “Weather department?” She stated quickly. “Only pegasi can work at the weather department.” Rainbow Dash snorted slightly, waving her wings slowly and resting them after a while.
“I know, but, some stallions like to carry me up to the department and then I put a little enchantment on myself. Gives me a headache, but at the end of the day I’m proud to say I can help these little towns find out when they can party and when they can’t.” Quicksilver replied with a smile, putting her hoof down and walking near Rainbow Dash calmly. “You must be the loyal Rainbow Dash, I’m sure you have heard about me.”
Rainbow Dash flicked her ear with a confused look on her face. “Not really. A little bit from Apple Jack,”
“Oh.” Quicksilver snorted in disgust. “Anyways,” she turned around and looked back at Twilight. “Twilight, how about the book?” Her pupils became softened and large, as she looked up softly with a smile that rode her face.
Twilight huffed slightly. “I don’t know.” Finding it hard to say no, she had sighed slightly and levitated the book over, it glistened as the magic forming around it dragged it out of the leather bag and heaved it through the open air. A short way to travel, and leaving it’s home to see the dark blue magic from Quicksilver activated.
“I promise I will take good care of it.” Quicksilver nodded happily. “If I figure anything out, Twilight Sparkle, I will tell you and your elements. Have fun, everyone.” As Quicksilver turned around with the book magically held in the air, she bumped into Apple Jack and laughed, saying her sorries and then going on her way.
“Is that the elements book, Twi?” Apple Jack spoke smoothly with her country strung voice.
“Yes,” Twilight started calmly. “Quicksilver said she wanted to read a bit on it. If she can figure anything out, she’ll tell us." There was a long pause. "I hope nothing happens to it.”
Rarity budged her way in. “Quicksilver is a master of organization, Twilight. She would never lose an object in her possession.”
“I hope your right, Rarity.” Twilight tapped her hoof on her face. “Well, come in girls, we should start this meeting now. We can still discuss the elements even without the book. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy gave me a good idea, anyways.”
The ponies entered the room carefully. “Take a seat, everyone. We’ll get down to business.” Twilight’s voice came from the door.
