"Twilight! Twilight!" I heard somepony say.
"Ah'll try shak'n her" somepony that sounded a lot like Applejack started to shake me.
"Uh.. What happened?" I asked.
"Oh! That's what Rainbow said when she woke up! and Fluttershy and Applejack and Ra..." Rainbow's hoof was in Pinkie's mouth before she could finish.
"Are you alright darling?" Rarity asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine" I replied while getting up. Once I got up though, I noticed something different about everypony.
"Why are you guys wearing necklaces?" I asked.
"I dunno. It was on me when I woke up! but why are you wearing a crown?" Pinkie asked, now putting on her detective hat.
"A crown? I'm not wearing a..." I touched my hoof to my head to find a crown sitting their. I bought it off with my magic. It was a gold crown, with a magenta 6 pointed star in the middle and under it, their was all 5 faction symbols, each one glowing its respective color. On the back, it had my name engraved in it.
"Wow" was all I could say. I look up to see everypony inspecting their necklace. I look over at Applejack; her neckleace was an orange apple with a green stem. Fluttershy's looks to be a pink butterfly. I look over at Pinkie who is bouncing around, her necklace was a blue ballon, I think. Rarity's looks like a purple diamond, and Rainbow's is a red lightning bolt.
"This....is....so...Cool!!" Rainbow said
"Yipee! A neckleace!" Pinkie said while jumping around the room.
"Um... Twilight? Do you know how we got these things or what they do?" Fluttershy asked.
"Well, I think they came from that all of light that was created earlier..." I was interrupted by Pinkie saying
"Oh ya! That really hurt! It took magic from all of us! Along with a Pegasus feather from Rainbow and Fluttershy!" Pinkie said with a grin.
"How did you know that? Your eyes were closed the whole time. I saw" I said.
"Just a hunch!" Pinkie said with another big grin. We all rolled our eyes. After all, Pinkie was just being Pinkie.
"Yeah, that blue light hurt a lot, right Flutters?" Rainbow asked Fluttershy. She just gave a slow nod but said,
"Yes, it did hurt but I thought the light was yellow"
"The light was the same color as your coat" I said, just now putting the pieces together. "Anyways, I don't know what they do for sure and I also don't know why all 5 faction symbols are on it"
"So, what are we supposed to do now?" Rainbow asked. "I like my necklace and all, but it will probably be used against me in Dauntless training". Just then, Rainbow's necklace began to glow a bright red as she was lifted into the sky by some sort of magic. Then, a colts voice could be heard coming from nowhere. 'Dauntless' It said. What seemed to be a orange ball of magic engulfed her and disappeared from our view.
"RAINBOW DASH!" We all shouted and ran up to the glowing ball but before we could get there, the ball expanded until it was twice it's size then disappeared. Once all the magic was gone I looked over at Rainbow, but her necklace was gone, but before I could think more about it I noticed the necklace that was just on her neck on her front right hoof but as a tattoo! I guess Rainbow noticed it to because she said
"AWESOME!!!" At the top of her lungs.
"Oh! Me next! Me next!" Pinkie said while tapping at her necklace. I looked back at everypony else in the room, who just stood in amassment.
"So, Rainbow? What's different about your new tattoo compared to your necklace? It may be useful later" and by useful I mean for studies.
"Hmm?" Rainbow said. I guess she was to busy looking at her new necklace to listen. "Oh, well. It now only has the Dauntless symbol instead of all 5...um...It has a picture of a rainbow lightning bolt coming out of a cloud....and that pretty much it" She said.
"Ok, so the necklaces/crown probably change into something that the faction that you are going to chose would wear. I guess as a discuses. If our "items" are camouflaging then that must mean that it is dangerous to be an "Element of Harmony" so we should do everything we can to make sure that no pony and I mean no pony but us knows about this. Got that?" I say in the most serious tone that I could muster. Everypony just nods. I turn towards Rainbow, "Rainbow's necklace turned into a tattoo because she is planning on choosing Dauntless tomorrow. Is that right Rainbow?"
"Yep" she replied.
"So that explains the faction symbols" I said under my breath.
"Ok, so I think it would be best if we decided on what faction we are going to choose tomorrow tonight so this flash-y thing-y doesn't occur in front of everypony tomorrow. Like I said, it is really important that we keep this a secret" I said. Everypony nodded in return except for Rainbow who went back to looking at her new tattoo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ok! Has everypony finished deciding?" I ask.
"Ah narrowed mah choices down Twi, but ah need help decidin" Applejack said.
"So do I, this decision is just to hard!" Rarity whined while gaining an eye-roll from Applejack.
"I need help too!" Pinkie chimed in. "I want to chose Amity so I can be happy all the time but I could also be happy in Dauntless 'cause they do fun things too but I don't want to leave my fam..." Pinkie was cut off by Rainbow's hoof in her mouth.
"I'll help Pinkie and Flutters" Rainbow said. "You can help Rarity and Applejack". I nodded my head and we all got into our groups.
"So, uh what factions are you trying to choose between Applejack?" I ask.
"Well, ah was trying to decide between mah home faction, Amity and Candor 'cause ah am the Element of Honesty and all" Applejack finished.
"Ok, and how about you Rarity?" I asked, turning my head toward Rarity.
"Oh, well I was thinking Candor, Abnegation, and Amity" Rarity answered. "How about you Twilight?"
"Well..." I stopped. I haven't thought about this. Erudite, Dauntless, Abnegation, Amity, or Candor? Which one do I belong in? "Probably Erudite because it's were my family is and I love to learn things" Then, a bright blue flash engulfed me, the mysterious voice that said 'Dauntless' minutes before now said 'Erudite'. I could feel a weight being pulled from the top of my head and something reappear on top of my muzzle. Then the blue light disappeared and I could see Applejack's and Rarity's worried faces except I was looking through something.
Glasses
My crown had turned into glasses for Erudite!
"Oh my darling, those are the most beautiful glasses I have ever seen!" squealed Rarity. I took the glasses off with my magic and started to examine them. They were purple and had a magenta star with 5 white stars surrounding it, and on the other side, it had the Erudite faction symbol glowing.
"Wow" Is all I could say. This was incredible! I looked back at the Erudite faction symbol and see that it's elevated like a button. Curious, I press the button and the light surrounds me but this time, it's a magenta light. "Magic" I hear the voice say again. When the light disappears, I have my crown back on my head. "Erudite" I say and a few seconds later, I have my glasses back. I take them off again and notice the magenta star with five white starts is elevated. I press the magenta star and I hear, "Welcome Twilight Sparkle. what would you like to do?" I put the glasses back on while Rarity and Applejack just sit their in amassment, again. When I put them on, their are bars that pop on my glasses like a screen. One says 'Teleport' and another says 'Chat' but for some reason, their are a lot of blank bars. I'll have to explore that later. I click 'Teleport' with my magic and another screen pops up with the mane of al my friends, but Rainbows name has a Dauntless symbol next to her name. Then I notice that at the end of all the bars, their is a picture of the abnegation symbol and the distance between me at them, I am assuming. I wonder if Rainbow's necklace -now- tattoo can do it to? I'll have to ask her later. Tonight was going to be a long night.
