{Buttercup’s PoV}
“He asked you to tell me that!? Ha!” I was sat on the green hammock, a silver book in my hand. Blossom told me that Jacob wanted me to know. I almost snoozed. “Look, I’m fine. Don’t get your panty’s in a twist! Now that we have a big home, a medic, three robots to guard us, two tokens, and each other, I feel safe and happy.” I said, trying to calm her. She always worried about the rest of us, and our overall happiness. I was happy and sad. Tirek would grow power and strength, and I had to get the girls on his side. They were good girls, and I was scared I’d have to fight them. Heck, I was just playing Tirek anyway! I was going to have him finish the sisters off, then off him myself, and the three of us would be truly safe.
Blossom sighed. “Look, I’m not going to pretend to know what you went through. All I ask is you don’t keep anything bottled up. You’ll end up like Discord.” I shivered. He used to be our friend until he turned bitter after his races death. He wasn’t too close to us, but we gave him as much kindness as we could. Turned out he wasn’t our friend, and betrayed us. Hatred started to boil, and I growled.
Blossom took notice of this and tried to defuse the situation. “I’m sorry, I forgot you two were-” I cut her off.
“We were not! He made that perfectly clear when he brought Him to Equestria!” I yelled. My eyes felt hot, so I closed them while laying down. “He never loved me…”
I heard Blossom shuffle, but didn’t say anything. After a minute, I heard her footsteps leaving the vicinity.
I cried. I cried for everything that happened. From the lose of my brother, to Discord, to Celestia and Luna betraying us, to being trapped in Tartarus, and finally, because everyone I loved was gone, or betrayed me… Wait a second. I had the girls! Blossom and Bubbles were all I had. I knew they’d never leave or cheat me. They… they cared… They cared so much it hurt…
I was going to protect them. They were MINE!
{Third PoV}
Blossom came out into the livingroom where Bubbles was sat in a couch, a squirrel on top of her head.
‘The heck?’ Blossom thought.
She walked over to a brown chair and sat down. She called out, “Bubbles, why do you have a Squirrel on you?”
Said animal lover jumped up, yelling. “I’m afraid of pears!!!”
Blossom stared at her sister, shocked at what she said. She shook her head and addressed Bubbles. “Calm down, it was a dream. There aren’t any… Pears…”
Bubbles sighed in relief and floated back to where she once lay (And that Squirrel still slept).
Bubbles eyes were dimmer. Blossom hated that, especially since she caused it. She told Bubbles that they were hit with the Element’s and she fell asleep for a thousand years. She took it pretty hard.
‘Let the uncomfortable silence begin...’ Blossom thought.
It didn’t. “So, you talk to Buttercup yet?” Bubbles asked, hoping to stop the silence from continuing.
Blossom nodded. “She said she’s fine. I’m not sure though.”
Bubbles sighed. “We shouldn’t have pranked her with that Mojo thing. She’s been through too much and needs a break.” She fiddled with her index fingers and thumbs.
“Maybe, but we can’t change what we did. Anyway, we better get some sleep. Go to bed and I’ll check the Gynoid’s.” Bubbles nodded and got up. She floated to the bedroom.(AND THE SQUIRREL FOLLOWS!!!)
Blossom stood up and headed for the lab. Once she arrived, she saw the three laying on the ground, loading bar complete. Blossom sat down and did some diagnostics, activated they’re chargers, and set them to where only she could activate them. She didn’t want them waking while she and the girls were sleeping.
Blossom headed towards the bedroom, when she stopped. The Octi doll sat on the bed. ‘She forgot to send it...’
Bubbles wanted to use Octi for her Token. She used: “To all those who wish to fight injustice, and villainy. I’ma be there ta mess ‘em up for ya! I’m Bubbles, Spirit of Nature and Harmony. Oh, and if you wanna play, I’m also there! Bubbles out!”
Blossom picked the doll up. It was one of the things to bring them to Equestria.
Dropping it into the void, she continued her way to the bedroom.
Twilight was sitting in the library, pacing circles. She had just received a letter from Princess Celestia detailing the escape of three Spirit like Discord, but not of chaos. The first was the Spirit of Anger and Strength, which made absolute sense why it was bad. The second confused her. Knowledge and Wisdom. Why would it be evil if it was wise!? And the last made even less sense! Nature and Harmony! How could that be evil!?!?!?
Twilight was muttering about the possibilities and implications when her door opened to reveal her best friends Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack. Twilight stopped and turned her head towards them.
Rainbow flew in and started barraging the lavender mare with questions.
“What’s up? Why’s Canterlot in a panic? Why’d you call us? Is there a bad guy to fight?” She continued on and on until Pinkie Pie shoved a hoof in her mouth.
After the shock of Pinkie stopping Rainbow from talking, Twilight explained.
“Uh… Anyway. Princess Celestia has sent me a letter that three Spirits have been free’d. She said that they are dangerous, and if we see them, we should use the Element’s.” The girls looked confused as they stepped in and closed the door. Twilight sighed, “Discord was the Spirit of Chaos. He became the embodiment of that Element because of his power and personality. Celestia is considered the Spirit or Protection and Guidance, and Luna is considered the Spirit of Dreams and Safety.”
The girls were shocked. Rarity spoke first, “So there might be more Alicorn’s or… Whatever Discord is?”
Fluttershy cut in. “Draconequuis…” Everypony stared. “I-... I wanted to know more about him… I was curious…”
“Whatever… So what are they? And how are we gonna beat ‘em!” Rainbow punctuated this statement by jabbing her hooves a couple times as if boxing.
“That’s just it! I don’t know much about them except what they represented, and what horrid things they did. But none of it made any sense! It said one turned evil, and the others followed. But it never said why! The whole book is about how their evil consumed, but the Princesses stopped them. It doesn't explain who they were, what they did before, or even what the name of their species was! They were bipedal, but that’s all it says.”
“Bi- what now?” Rainbow asked.
“It means it walks on two legs…” Fluttershy explained. Twilight nodded.
“We’ll search the Castle of the Two Sisters tomorrow for information.” Twilight said, smiling at her friends. All had smiles of their own (minus a certain shy Pegasus, but that’s to be expected). “See you girls tomorrow!”
They exited the library, and Spike walked in.
“Why does all of Celestia’s trash gets dumped on you girl? I’ve never heard of an enemy she faced that hasn’t come back.” He shook his head.
Twilight glared, then froze. He was right. Any of Celestia’s foe’s were swept under the rug and Twilight had to take care of it. Twilight stepped back.
“Uh… I don’t know. How about you go to bed and I’ll just clean up?” The baby dragon smiled and ran into the bedroom.
Twilight sighed. ‘What’s going on?’
