//------------------------------// // Meeting the Elements // Story: Regina and Draco // by raritywolf //------------------------------// Once upon a time in a land called Equestria there is a pony that lives there by the name of Regina. She is a very nice pony. She lives to mend broken hearts for the ponies who go through something bad in their lives. She was popular with the children at the orphanage. They all would be so happy when she came to visit. At this moment in time Regina was walking to Sugar Cube Corner. She could see it off if the distance. She knew Pinkie Pie was working today because Mr. Cake was out and Mrs. Cake was watching the twins. When Regina walked in through the door and the bell rung. Pinkie heard the and came running out. "What can I get for ya?" Pinkie asked. "Nothing much at all. All I want is a blueberry muffin and a sapphire cupcake." Regina said. "Who's getting the cupcake?" Pinkie asked. "Some pony I'm heading out to see today." Regina said. "The only pony I know who eats gems is Spike and he is not a pony he is a dragon. Well who ever you are going to see is going to be lucky. Here you go." Pinkie said. "Thank you very much" Regina said as she laid the bits on the counter and left. 'Phew that was a close one. If any pony found out I was talking to a dragon I would be in trouble. Princess Celestia said that only her, her sister, and the element bears only could speak to dragons other than Spike of course. Maybe if I tell Pinkie she might be able to convince the others that Draco isn't bad. Yes that might work but first I would have to tell him that the element bears are nice and not there to hurt him. Well I'm going to talk to him right now so why not just tell him then. I think he'll like the idea of coming out of that cave and coming to live with me in Ponyville. I hope he does. He could also bring his hoard of gems with him and I would give him his own room to put it all in.' Regina finally reached the gem field. She knew that Rarity and Spike were not going to be there because they go gem hunting only on curtain days. As Regina started walking across the field she did not like the felling that was coming from the forest surrounding the area. She started to go a little faster. She kept at the speed a turned a corner and checked if any pony was following her. She made sure she was not followed and made it to Draco's cave. She walked in and called out "Draco are you home?" There was a low voice that said "Yes I am here Regina please come into the main part of my cave." She walked into the main part of the cave and saw a dark red and yellow dragon sitting in the middle part of the room waiting for her. "What took you so long? Are you ok?" Draco asked nervously. "Yes I am ok. The reason I took so long was because I wanted to get you something from Sugar Cube Corner." "What is is?" Draco asked. "It's a sapphire cupcake. I know how you like to eat gems so I got you a cupcake with gems on it." Regina said. "Thanks Regina. Now I know why I started to like you." "And why is that?" Regina asked. "Because you always know what I want." Draco said. "Oh that reminds me. Draco can I bring a guest with me tomorrow? Please." Regina asked with a begging look in her eyes Draco could not resist. He was trying his hardest not to look at her but he finally broke and asked "Who is it and why?" "I am thinking Pinkie Pie or Rarity." Regina said nervously. "Why the element bearers. They won't except me. They'll think I am a monster and want to get rid of me." Draco said angrily. "Yes they will except you they have already excepted another dragon. Even one of the element bearers is going out with him. His name is Spike. You two are around the same age. I would love for you two to meet." Regina said. "Will if it is for you I'll do it. But only bring Pinkie here first. Like her better from what you have been telling me." "Ok only her tomorrow. I'll talk to her when I head home later. But right now we need to talk. It is nothing bad. You just need to stay calm when she gets here tomorrow. She can be a little hyper when she is meeting some pony or dragon new. She most likely will be bringing more cupcakes tomorrow. Please don't eat them all in one night. I don't want you to be sick. Umm what else do you know? Oh she has a Pinkie feeling thing. She can tell when something good or bad is about to happen. Be careful of that. Oh and she might have her party cannon. It is very loud. Will tell her to leave it home. And I think that is all you have to know." Regina said. "Ok thank you." Draco said "it's getting pretty late you should get home." "Ok Draco I'll see you tomorrow. Bye" Regina said as she started out of the cave. "Bye Regina" Draco said waving to her. Regina started the short walk home. When she got back to town she headed back to the Sugar Cube Corner. She walked in and Pinkie ran up to her and said "Hey Regina what brings you back here." "I have a favor to ask you. But could I talk to you somewhere private?" Regina asked. "Sure I was about to close for the night anyways. We could go to my room and talk." Pinkie said. Pinkie and Regina walked up the stairs to Pinkies room. When she opened the door Gummy her pet alligator jumped up and started to chew on her mane. They both walked into her room and sat down. "So what did you want to talk to me about?" Pinkie asked. "If it would not be to much trouble could you come with me and talk to some pony tomorrow?" Regina asked. "Ya sure I have tomorrow off. Have I meet this pony or are they new?" Pinkie asked. "You have never meet him. I just need you to meet him. I think you like him." Regina said. "Oh maybe we could bring the others along. That would be fun." Pinkie said. "No Pinkie just you and me Pinkie. He does not like many ponies meeting him at one time." Regina said. "Oh ok we can meet here tomorrow at ten in the morning." Pinkie said. "Alright Pinkie I'll be here at ten tomorrow morning and if you want to bring sapphire gem cupcakes you are more than welcome to. He just loves them." Regina said. "Ok see you later." Pinkie said. Regina said her byes and left. As soon as she reached home she went straight to bed. The next morning she woke up and headed straight to Sugar Cube Corner. Pinkie was already waiting for her. "Hiya Regina." Pinkie said. "Hi Pinkie. Do you have everything you need? Please don't bring the party cannon. My friend does not like loud noises." "Ok I'll leave that here and I have everything I need." Pinkie said. "Good lets go then." Regina said. Regina and Pinkie started walking. On their was Regina explained to Pinkie the her friend lived I the forest because he liked his privacy. The only things she did not tell Pinkie was that he lived in a cave and that he was a dragon. "We are here." Regina said. "He lives in a cave? That's cool lets go in." Pinkie said. Regina took a deep breath in and said "Draco I'm here with Pinkie like I said I was going to be." "Ok come in." Draco said. "Oh and one more thing Pinkie he is a dragon." Regina said nervously. "Really? I like dragons lets go in." Pinkie said. Pinkie and Regina walked in the cave to see Draco sitting in the middle of the room waiting for them. Pinkie walked over to him and the first thing she said was "You look cool. I mean I know a dragon that is purple and green. But you are red and yellow." "She is hyper like you said Regina." Draco said. "You talked about me Regina? That's cool!" Pinkie said. "Well Pinkie I had to tell him what you were like so that he would let you come in. If he didn't know what you were like he wouldn't have let you come here." Regina said. "Ya I know that. I love meeting new ponys. Even if they are dragons. I would except you in our little town and I think the others would too. When I like some pony the other will like them too." Pinkie said. "Thanks Pinkie. I feel better now that the others will like me too." Draco said. "Ok good. Now I have a surprise for you Draco. Close your eye and put your claws out." Pinkie said. Draco hesitated but Regina nudged at his arm and told him it was alright. So Draco put out his hands and closed his eyes as Pinkie asked him to. He felt something heavy land in his hands. "Alright you can open your eyes now." Pinkie said happily. Draco opened his eyes to see a pink box in his claws. "What's in here?" Draco said. "Open the box and find out." Pinkie said. "Go ahead and open it. I promise you'll like it." Regina said. "Ok." Draco said. When he opened the box a big smile grew on his face. "You really want to give me these cupcakes? I mean they look really good but why would you give these to me? You bearly know me." Draco said. "Well if Regina likes you then I like you." Pinkie said. "Ok thank you Pinkie. That was really kind of you." Draco said. "Oh oh oh! Could I go and get the others and have them meet you? Only if it is alright with you I mean." Pinkie asked. "Umm ya sure. Only if they won't hurt me in any way. Because if they do they won't only be having my come after the Regina will be to." Draco said. When he said the Regina's face turned red from embarrassment and she said "I won't hurt any pony. Would be very mad at them though." "You two like each other I can tell." Pinkie said. "Did you use your Pinkie sense thing?" Draco asked. "No. It's written all over your faces." Pinkie said. "Please Pinkie don't tell any pony." Regina said. "I won't I pinkie promise. Cross my heart, Hope to fly, Stick a cupcake in my eye." Pinkie said. "Thanks Pinkie. Now are you going to get the others now? Or will I have to go get them myself?" Regina said. "No I'll go get them. Be right back." Pinkie said. As soon as Pinkie said that she took off running out of the cave. Draco let out a loud sigh. "What was that for you know she is coming back with the others right?" Regina asked. Draco let out a loud huff "I know that. I just hope that they accept me like you do." "Well not exactly like I do." Regina said. "I'm back!" Pinkie came in and yelled. "Wow Pinkie that was fast. Umm where are the others?" Draco asked. "Oh they are outside. COME IN HERE EVERY PONY!" Pinkie said. "Alright Pinkie we heard you. You don't need to be so loud." Rainbow Dash said. "So Pinkie where is that dragon named Draco?" Twilight asked. "He is ri... Draco!" Regina said "Sorry but I am going to yell. DRACO GET IN HERE!" "No I don't want to." Draco said. "Draco now." Regina said. "Fine I'll be right there." Draco said. Draco came out and saw all of the ponies and the one dragon in his cave and said "Hi." "Hello Draco. We are here to see if you are nice enough to come to Ponyville. So far of what I have seen you are nice enough to come live there." Princess Twilight said. "Good. That makes me happy to hear." Draco said. "So wait there is going to be another dragon in Ponyville?" Fluttershy asked. "Yes darling but as you can see he is very nice." Rarity said. "If he was mean we would not be here right now." Spike said. "You are correct darling. Now can we go home? My hooves are hurting." Rarity complained. "Yes Ah need to get home and get back to my trees. You know how close it is to citer season." Applejack said. "Yes let's go." Twilight said. "Thanks for coming. So can visit Ponyville?" Draco asked. "You sure can." Pinkie said. "You should come to Sugar Cube Corner tomorrow and I'll throw a welcome to Ponyville party!" "We'll be there. I'll make sure Draco comes out of his cave. What time should we be there?" Regina asked. "We can start at noon. We'll have enough food for every pony in Ponyville." Pinkie said. "Alright Pinkie you can finish planning when you get home. Bye Regina bye Draco." Twilight said. "Bye every pony" Regina and Draco said.
