"Ready or not, here I come!"

Woona trotted out of her room, before glancing left and right. Where was Tia? She must have gotten better. Before she had used to chuckle as she stood behind Woona, thinking she could not see her. Obviously, she could, since Tia couldn't control her laughter. But Tia was getting older, so she should be getting better anyway.

"Still, you are no match for THE MIGHTY PRINCESS LUNA!"

Woona put on her best royal canterlot voice before heading downstairs. The twirling banister looked so welcoming, but she had been told not to slide down it. She soon settled for just running down the stairs. A small file of documents had been left on the stairs, and Woona didn't notice them until it was too late. With a petrified scream, she came tumbling down. The hard, wooden floor seemed to be coming closer, so she closed her eyes and flapped her tiny wings for life. When she reopened her eyes, she saw that she was two inches above the ground. At first she thought she was flying, but she soon noticed a magical aurora floating around her. She was then levitated to the ground with a small 'ouch'. Woona's mother, Lauren Faust, stepped out of the shadows. With a grin, the young princess of the night ran up to her.

"Thank you sooooooo much! I could have DIED!"

Lauren chuckled, before mentioning that Woona would only get a small bump on the head, not a gravestone. They both cuddled, before Woona asked if her mother wanted to play hide and seek. Lauren shook her head, before walking towards the front door.

"Your'e gonna go see Daddy, aren't you?"

Tears filled Lauren's eyes. During the Dragon war, her husband had been struck by a poisonous Dragon bite. He was immediately rushed to hospital, so  Lauren held his hoof when he died. She visited his grave every week, laying fresh tulips each time. But Lauren had said real princesses don't cry, so she couldn't take Woona with her.

"But WWWHHHYYYY? I want to go!"

Lauren mentioned that she wanted to go alone, and Woona put her head down in despair.

"Anyway, you have to go find Tia, don't you? If I were you, look in her bedroom. Don't tell her I helped you!"

Woona chuckled, before racing back upstairs. Lauren had got away from her daughter- this time.

Meanwhile, Tia was hiding in her closet, wondering what had took Woona so long. She was the so-called 'master of hide and seek' so she better have a good reason why she hadn't found her yet. A lightning strike from outside made Tia jump, and ran downstairs to see what had happened. Hide and seek would have to wait. Tia ran past her surprised sister, before galloping towards the front door. To their relief, their Mother was fine, trotting down the path with her umbrella. What they found was much more strange. A alicorn colt was lying on their doorstep, unconsious and alone. His cutie mark was a group of gems, that Tia had heard of in myths. They were called 'the elements of Harmony'. Maybe he specialised in mythology, finding about the elements and the so-called 'humans'?
Maybe he was obsessed with gems, and he had gems that looked like the elements of harmony? Or maybe... Tia's thoughts ceased as the colt woke up. In anxiety, Woona asked who he was.

"I...I don't remember...."
