//------------------------------// // Human World 3: A Discovery // Story: The Elemental Child // by Yappyjack //------------------------------// KLANG! Harmony was startled by her mom accidentally dropping her cereal bowl on the table. "Oh sorry Harmony!" Tabitha exclaimed. "That's alright Mom." Harmony said rubbing her eyes. "Hurry up and eat your breakfast honey..." Tabitha said as she cleaned up the small mess she had made. "You need to be ready when the bus comes." "Yes ma'am." Harmony replied with a tiered expression on her face. Twilight had already eaten her breakfast and was sitting at the table patiently waiting for her sister to finish. "I hope that what happened with Twilight turning into a weird animal was just a dream." Harmony thought. When Harmony was done she looked up at Twilight who said, "Race you to the bus!" Harmony smiled. "Your on!" With that, Harmony and Twilight quickly jumped up from their seats, grabbed their backpacks and raced out the door after saying, "Love you Mom, bye!" Twilight reached the bus just before Harmony did, therefore, Twilight said, "Ha! I beat you!" "Whatever!" Was Harmony's response. When they arrived at school Harmony remembered what had happened behind the school the previous day. "Hmm..." Harmony thought remembering what Twilight had said. ~~~ "Harmony! Oh thank You Harmony!" Twilight hugged Harmony. "For what?" Harmony asked confused. "You have allowed me to remember who I was in Equestria! You have gained you powers.... Your Elemental Powers" ~~~ "What did she mean by that?" Harmony wondered. It made no sense! Harmony went to class and sat down, next to her sat Base Sentry, Flash Sentry's little brother. Harmony didn't speak to him often, but she heard he was really nice, and she knew it too. She was often told that she had a crush on him which was soooo no true, she thought he was nice, and that was all! Anyone, and she meant ANYone that told her that again, was going to get it. And the only reason that she had been told that she had a crush on him was because had given her a really flattering comment on her eyes and her friends, and a few enemies were RIGHT THERE! And plus she had blushed so that had brought the thought to mind. Harmony didn't want to think about anything that would detract her, because if she was distracted, her teacher, Mrs. Taylor knew it! She thought it was freaky since her teacher could practically see distraction in a students face, even if that student was starring right at her. Bible class was beginning and Harmony stood up to say the pelage. Harmony left her seat for lunch and began to walk out the door. Hay Harmony!" A voice called. She turned around to see Base Sentry again. "Oh great! I hope nobody sees us." Harmony thought as she walked over to him. "Yes Base?" She asked politely. Well...I was just wondering if...I don't know...if you would...like to, sit with me at lunch?" Base smiled nervously "Oh, I don't know, let me think..." Harmony thought to herself. "Should I? Well he does seem nice, oh and cute an- Urg, no what am I thinking?! If my friends see me with him, they will really make fun of me! Harmony battled herself. Aw man, I want to sit with my crus- I mean acquaintance, and get to know him so I can be a friend. Harmony thought and thought trying to find an answer. But...but...Oh he's just too cute and I can't sand to say no and then he looks at me with the puppy eyes, and...OH FINE!!! Harmony heeled at herself in her mind. "Yeah, sure." Harmony finally said. "Cool! Come on!" Base said, grabbing her hand and running for the cafeteria. The room was full of student eating and talking. Harmony saw her sister bump into Flash Sentry, Hamony laughter, she had never seen Twilight so red before. Base laughed as well, he had never seen his brother so clumsily walk into somebody before. Twilight and Flash just happened to see Harmony and Base laughing at them. Twilight glared at her sister which almost immediately made Harmony shut up. And Flash just smiled and rolled his eyes as his attention turned back to Twilight who sighed. "I'm sorry." Twilight said not looking directly at Flash, still red as a tomato. "It's okay, everybody makes mistakes, even if they are as pretty as you are!" Flash said looking at her with a smile, chuckling to himself as he saw Twilight turn even redder. "He he, thanks Flash...I...I s-should be...going, now...yeah so, bye." Twilight said walking, well, speed-walking away. Harmony and Base were laughing more than before at this point. "D-did you see my sister's face?! Pricless!!!" Harmony laughed. "Yeah, and did you see how red she turned after whatever my brother said?!" Base laughed with her. "I wonder what he said." Harmony said snickering. "Me too." Base said with a look of thought on his face. "I bet it was something today mushy like: You are so beautiful! I wuv you!" Harmony said with a silly voice. Base and Harmony looked at each other before they started to laugh again. After school, Harmony walked out and waited for Twilight. Harmony got to thinking about the day before again, and she thought that maybe if she tried to do that again, maybe, she could find out what was going on. Harmony walked be hind the building and looked around, nobody was in sight. Harmony flatend her hand and the objects appeared again. "Woah!" Harmony said with wonder. "I wonder what they do?" Harmony said. "They spread Harmony" A voice said. Harmony whirled around to see Twilight stepping around the corner. As Twilight got closer, the six pointed star flashed and left it's spot above Harmony's hand. It spun around Twilight a few times and then landed on her skirt in the same place it he'd before. In a three second flash, Twilight had wings, ears and a tail again. "They do what now?" Harmony asked. "Don't you remember? You are the princess of these Elements." Twilight said. "Elements? What do you mean Elements? And what on earth do you mean by Princess?" Harmony asked even mrs confused then before. Twilight sighed. "You aren't a human, you a pony, I am a pony..." Twilight said. "You and I are alicorns and we live in Equestria." Twilight continued, and finished, wanting Harmony to have time to respond. "A pony?! Alicorns?! Equestia?! Twilight what are yo talking about?!" Harmony asked, now she was too confused. "You will see." Twilight said. There was noise from the other side of the building, Twilight and Harmony looked around the corner to see two Hight school students fighting. Twilight smiled, "Harmony, this is your chance!" She exclaimed. "Chance for what?" Harmony asked. "A chance to see what your powers can do." Twilight smiled at Harmony. "Uh, I don't know what to do." Harmony said. "Mmm. Go tell them to stop fighting." Twilight said having to think for a minute. "What?!" Harmony exclaimed. "Do you know what they could do to me?! They could beat me up until a looked like an old prune!" Harmony said, flinching as she heard herself say the word 'prune'. She hated prunes! "Don't worry, no harm can come to you, the Element of Harmony will protect you if you become in danger." Twilight said positively. Harmony gulped, "Here goes nothing!" Harmony thought to her self as she approached the couple. H-hay you! Stop fighting!" Harmony put her hand up as if she were warning them. The teens looked at her and started her way. "What did you say?" The male of the two asked with anger in his voice. Harmony gulled again and remembered what Twilight had said, "Don't worry, no harm can come to you, the Element of Harmony will protect you if you become in danger." The words echoed in Harmony's head. "I-I said to stop fighting." Harmony repeated. "You shouldn't fight!" As she said those words there was a small flash. When Harmony opened her eyes, she gasped. The teens that had been stemming over to beat her up, were frozen in mid-step! "W-what did I just do?!" Harmony yelled to ask Twilight. "Calm down, you just froze time." Twilight said with a calm smile. "Froze...time?" Harmony asked looking at Twilight. "Y-yes" Twilight answered. Harmony face turned from shock to a huge smile. "I...I froze time! Oh man this is the coolest power ever! Okay Twilight, what do I do next?" Harmony said excited to learn more. "Mmm. Walk over to them and the Element with chose what needs to be added to this couples' hearts." Twilight said. Harmony nodded and walked over to the frozen couple. Making the Elements appear again, Harmony watched as the Elements began to spin around her. Faster and faster they became, until, they slowed down. Slower and slower until they stopped. Harmony gazed at the Element that had stopped and was now floating before her. It was the Butterfly. "Ah, the Element of Kindness." Twilight said with a smile. "The Element of Kindness? You mean they each have a name?" Harmony asked "Why yes. The Butterfly, is Kindness. The Diamond, is Generosity. The Apple, is Honesty. The Lightning Bolt, is Loyalty. The Ballon in Laughter. And the Star, is Magic. I am the Element of Magic." Twilight said. Oh!" Harmony said. Now she understood why the Star had given Twilight her pony ears, wing, and tail. The Element os Kindness floated in front of the frozen couple and split in half. The two pieces flew behind the two people and joined together again, as it did, it flashed and returned to its spot above Harmony's hand. "Hurry!" Twilight said. "We need to get out of sight before they unfreeze!" "Why?" Harmony asked. "I'll explain later, just come on!" Twilight said grabbing Harmony's hand. Just as they got around the corner time unfroze. The couple gave ever other a hug and went to get on the bus. "Did I just do all that?" Harmony asked looking at Twilight. "Yes, yes you did." Twilight smiled.
