//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 // Story: Secrets of the Elements // by Mythical_Elemental //------------------------------// Chapter 3- I woke up again from being knocked out, which I believe I will soon have a head concussion and die from, to be back in the bed. I lifted my hand to my face and rubbed my eyes but it was harder than a hand and felt like a stump. I opened my eyes to see it as a gray hoof and tried to process why I am seeing this. I remembered that the 4 spirits were going to change my body to look more like the inhabitants. I got back out of bed and stood on all fours and I started to trot to the door somehow walking without falling. I opened the door with a hoof and walked to the hallway. That is when A carrot hit my head and a white bunny staring at me. "Hello there." I might look crazy on Earth talking to a bunny but here, who cares. The bunny gave me a stare that could rival a hawk saying 'I am warning you.' I walked past the bunny but it jumped on my head and started to pat down on it with it's foot. Luckily the pain feels like a minor headache so I ignore it. How I am used to this pain you ask, look up Ulcerative Colitis, with the ulcers bleeding causes a lot of pain jesh. I got down the stairs to see Fluttershy taking care of a yellow Amakihi, that is a Hawaiian bird that is fairly common except on one island. She was feeding the bird a akaha (Hawaiian Raspberry to be correct) and the bird was eating it. I watched Fluttershy and It seemed like we are the same height and I saw a mirror in a corner so I walked up to it. I saw myself as a gray earth pony with a black and gray mane. My eyes were a regular blue and the only thing that isn't a part of gray-scale colors. I walked back to Fluttershy and asked, "Hey Fluttershy, Need help with anything?" I saw her what I believe is food "I am fine but would you like to come with me to the Picnic today, if you don't mind me asking?" I hear her say. "It is alright but are you sure you don't want help?" She shakes her head and finishes. ------The park with Each pony------ There were 4 ponies that I didn't know were there, one was cyan with a rainbow mane and tail with reddish eyes pegasus, another was orange with a blonde mane and tail with red bands, and has a cowboy hat on her head. Next was a pink pony with poofy mane and tail with blue eyes. The Last one was a white unicorn with a rich fashion purple mane and tail with a yellow hat. I was asked different questions like 'Are you a spy?' and 'Whats yer name sugercube?' I gave the name Mythical Elemental since I had nothing else in my head. After some small talk a purple and green dragon that reminds me of Spyro comes up. "Twilight!" The dragon shouted, running toward them. "I have... hold on!" Spike rested his hands on his knees and burped. Out came a letter. I looked at the letter and back at the dragon and back to the letter going 'What just happened.' I then Heard Twilight reading the letter, "Dear Twilight, I'm sure are as excited as I am for the upcoming wedding in Canterlot. Wedding? I will be presiding over the ceremony, but would lie if you and your friends would help with the preparations for this wonderful occasion. Fluttershy, I would you and your songbird choir to provide the music. Pinkie Pie, I can think of no one more qualified than you to host the reception. Apple Jack, you will be in charge of the catering for the reception. Rainbow Dash, I would very much appreciate it if you perform a Sonic Rainboom as the bride and groom complete their 'I-Do's'. Rarity, you will be in charge of designing the outfits for the bride and brides-maids. As for you, Twilight, you will be playing the most important role of all, making sure all goes as planned. Taro, you shall be watching over the event. I look forward to seeing you all very soon. Yours truly, Princess Celestia." "You have connections to a Princess, nice Twilight." I said which had eyes on me for a second and back to Twilight who was looking at the letter. Twilight said looking at the letter all over, "But I don't understand, who's getting married?" The dragon talked back again saying, "Oh, right, I was probably supposed to give you this one first." The dragon handed over another rolled up scroll from behind his back. Twilight read it aloud and it read, "Princess Celestia cordially invites you to the wedding of Princess Miamore Cadenza and," Twilight gasped, "my brother?" I stared at her and said, You have a brother and he is marring another princess. You are one family with high connections." That caused more gazes at me, and the only one that didn't look at me was Twilight. "You alright Twilight? You must be happy from the news." "Yeah, great news from an INVITATION! Not from my brother, but from a piece of paper! Thanks a lot, Shining Armor. He couldn't tell me personally? And who's Princess Miamore Cadenza anyway?" Twilight said which made me flinch. "Um... Twilight, are you okay?" Fluttershy asked sheepishly. "Sorry, it's just, Shining Armor and I have just been so close. Before I came to PonyVille to study the importance of friendship, Shining was the only one I counted as a friend." I started to hear some music but I didn't move but looked at Twilight closely. As soon as she started I ran away as fast as I can since Musical Numbers weren't very happy for me. After some minutes I came back and I said when everypony was staring at me, "Sorry to run off, but I have huge problems with Musical Numbers." They focused back on Twilight. "As one of your friends, I'd say this brother of yours sounds like a really special guy," Apple Jack complimented. "He is. They don't let just anypony be captain of the Royal guard." Rarity's ears perked up. "Let me get this straight: We're helping out with the wedding of not just a princess, but the captain of the ROYAL GAURD!" she asked with a wide grin. "Yeah, I guess we are," Twilight shrugged. Without another word, she fainted. "So let me get this straight, your brother is marrying a princess, and he is a captain of the guard. Can this get any more better?" I asked to every pony here. "We will be leaving off tomorrow since that is when the train would be likely to leave earliest." Twilight said. A/N I have the story take place before the wedding since it would be a lot better to write it there instead of way farther. And Hope it is better and ignore comments posted way back.
