	A mare ran through the forest. 
"They better be there." she said.
The mare was a dark purple with a slightly lighter purple mane. She had red streaks in it. She was also an alicorn. She looked both ways before entering the opening. She started to walk in.
"Hi!" a pony popped up.
"Whah!" the mare screamed. "Oh, it's just you." 
"Yep! So, did you complete your mission?" the pony asked. 
"Uh," the mare said. 
"C'mon! We're waiting!" the pony bounced to the opening. The mare followed. 
In the opening, 4 other ponies stood. 
"Ok," said the pony, "now that we're all here, we need new names."
"Ok." the others agreed.
"I'll start. My new name is Party Pie!" the pony said. She was once Pinkie Pie, a pink mare who loved making friends and having parties. She had light pink skin with a darker pink mane. Now, her hair was flat, like her hair as a filly, and she was a darker pink.
"Party Pie? Is that the best you can do?" the mare asked.
"Well, how about your name? I'd like to see you do better!" Party said.
"Very well. You may now call me, Queen Twinight." the mare said. Twinight was named Twilight Sparkle before. Her purple shades were lighter, and she had pink streaks instead of red.
"Queen? Who makes you queen?" one asked. Twinight glared. 
"Well, I AM an alicorn!" Twinight said. "How about you go next?"
"I will." the pony said. "Call me Flutterblade." She used to be Fluttershy. She had pale yellow skin and a light pink mane. Now, her skin was paler and her mane was slightly red.
"Oo! Oo! Can I go next?" another pony yelled.
"Fine." Twinight said, annoyed.
"Ok, my new name in Rainbow Boom!" she yelled. Rainbow was still Rainbow before, but she was Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Boom has a rainbow mane and has dark blue skin. Before, she still had a rainbow mane, but her skin was a lot lighter.
"It's my turn now." a pony said.
"Just call me Appleheart." she said. This pony was named Applejack before. She was orange with a blond mane. Appleheart is a yellow-orange with an orange mane.
"Ok, your turn." Twinight said, pointing to the last pony.
"Oh, ok! Well, I was thinking Rarisew, but if that's not a good name," she said.
"OK! OK! Your Rarisew! Just be quiet!" Twinight yelled.
"Oh, ok." Rarisew said. Rarity was Rarisew's name before. She has white skin and a curly purple mane. Rarisew is a light grey and her hair is darker. It also isn't curly anymore. 
"Well, now that that is over with, we will now chose our elements." Twinight said."I am the element of dark magic."
"I call being the element of regret!" Party Pie called.
"Can I be element of want?" Rainbow asked.
"I will be element of consequence." Appleheart said.
"I'm element of pain." said Flutterblade.
"What about you, Rarisew?" Twinight asked.
"Um, I don't know." Rarisew said.
"You are the element of worry." Twinight said.
"Say goodbye to your elements of harmony, Celestia," Twinight said. "and say hello to the elements of shadow!"
