"It is rude to stare." She said. The ponies exchanged looks before Twilight stepped forward. "Sorry. But, it's not every day something happens like this, Princess..." "My name is Harmony..." The cyan mare filled in Twilight's blank. "Oh! And you don't have to address me as 'Princess', you can just call me Harmony." She said, no longer in her state of seriousness. Harmony walked toward them with sparkling turquoise eye. She walked right up to Pinkie who giggled. "Hello, you are Pinkie Pie right? I am glad to meet you..." Harmony said to a now very surprised Pinkie. "Do you think you can through me a welcome party in Ponyville?" She asked. Pinkie smiled and nodded. Next Harmony walked over to Rarity. "Hello Rarity, I am glad to meet Ponyville's top fashion designer..." She said. Rarity thought for a minute. Rarity opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Pinkie. "Hold on a second! How did you know who we are...gasp...Are you physic?!" Pinkie got in Harmony's face. "No no no, you see, The Elements of Harmony Lie Within My Heart. Therefore I know the ponies that represent them." This caught Twilight's attention. "Wait! The Elements of Harmony Lie Within Your Heart? How?" Twilight asked the alicorn. "Twilight Sparkle, you see that I am the Elements them selfs, If one of them is missing, I can not appear to anypony..." Harmony walked over to the Princess. "The reason I say this is because, I am the Princess of the Elements of Harmony." She continued. Upon Harmony saying this, the six bowed down to her. "Please, don't. Twilight you should know that a true Princess in any form, is not by forcing others to bow before her, but inspiring others to to stand with her." Harmony said with a smile. "Oh, yes, well I... wait if you are the Princess of the Elements of Harmony, then, why did the Princesses tittle me the Princess of Magic.? Twilight asked. "There may be Princesses of one Element each, but I am the Princess of all of them." Harmony replied. Twilight and the other walked along before Twilight remembered something. "Here I will get us out of here faster." She sad, and in a flash of light they were gone. "Here we are." Twilight said as they appeared at the entrance to the Everfree Forest. "Thanks..." Harmony said. "That place gives me the creeps." She finished. "Us to." Applejack spoke up. "Not me." Rainbow Dash said with pride. "Pfff, yeah...right." Applejack replied snickering. "I can prove it..." Rainbow said. "I can stay there all night and not get scared once." She bragged. "Oh yeah, why don't we camp out tonight?" Applejack asked. "Yeah, tonight." Rainbow smirked. Twilight chuckled and rolled her eyes. It seems they forgot what happened at the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters. Twilight thought. "So Harmony...?" Twilight asked causing the alicorn to look in her direction. "Boy, that's a beautiful name!" But I was wondering, why were you named Harmony?" Twilight asked. "Well, first of all: I am the Princess of the Elements of Harmony. Second of all: I am known to have the power to create Harmony between ponies. Third of all: I am known for having a beautiful singing voice."Harmony replied. "Can we here?" Twilight asked shyly. "What? Oh sure." Harmony answered. Then Harmony began to sing in a strong beautiful voice. I understand that you've met someone, with a perfect heart, When you've been questioned by everyone, so you're in the dark ? Can you chose to fall ? Should you risk it all ? The ponies' attention turned to Harmony as she continued to sing with her beautiful voice.

When I'm on your side, And I, under stand you're the only one to know, Whether wrong or right Let your heart decide Ponies near began to gather a round the singing alicorn, amazed at her beautiful singing Some may tell you don't take the risk It's a waste of time But if you think you'll find happiness Baby take the dive It's unusual, But it's critical Ponies began to sway to the music, some began to hum along as well. Everypony was blown away.

"I was that good?" She asked Twilight. "Are you kidding? You were awesome!" Twilight exclaimed. "Hay! I just had a great idea...!" Pinkie Pie yelled. "Why don't you sing for everypony at your welcome party?" She suggested. "Sure." Harmony replied with a smile, which was meet by a huge amount of stomping from the ponies that had heard her sing. When the crowd had left, the seven ponies headed for the Train Station, talking and asking Harmony questions and telling her stories. Twilight and the others told her about them selfs and getting to know Harmony. By the time they reached Canterlot, they were best friends with the Princess of the Elements of Harmony. In the palace they talked and talked walking toward the Thrown Room. "What happened at the Tree of Harmony?" Celestia asked before she gasped at seeing Harmony. "Har-Harmony?" Princess Luna said. The cyan alicorn nodded with a smile. "Hi Luna..." She said. "Hi Celestia." Luna walked over to the mare and gave her a big hug. "Oh I have missed thee, Harmony." Celestia walked over and gave Harmony a hug too."It is good to see you...old friend." "Hay now! I may be two thousand and sum-odd years old, but that doesn't mean you get to give me a hard time about it." Harmony playfully shoved the large alicorn. Celestia chuckled. "Two thousand sum-odd years old and still very, very silly." Harmony giggled. "Wait, a, minute! You know who she is?!" Twilight asked. "Yes..." Luna answered."We are old friends." She finished, smiling at Harmony. Celestia whispered something in Luna's ear. Luna nodded at Celestia when she was finished. Luna hugged Harmony again. "Please excuse me, I must raise the moon for the Night, it was nice to see you again Harmony my friend." Luna said with a smile. Harmony and the six stayed at the Castle that night, it had been a very long and exciting day.
