A/N-I should note that whenever I put words in these-[ ]-It means it's a flashback. I don't know why I do it like this, but it works irregardless. Enjoy the chapter! BTW, we're almost to 50 reviews. Thanks for the support and to the three of you who have so far sent me an OC, I give you a second thanks. It'll be a while before the OC is put into the story, so OC's will be excepted until the 19th chapter is uploaded. Good Luck to all of you!
I woke up this morning at roughly four o' clock. Sadly enough it was for the wrong reason.
"What was that for! I was having such a nice dream!" I yelled at Rainbow.
"I can tell. You were mumbling loud enough to wake Scoots. Not to mention, I need my sleep."
I groaned and rolled over towards Fluttershy. She was still sound asleep. I sniffed the air. I remembered that I sweat when I'm having good dreams.
"Bloody hell," I muttered. I got up and grabbed some clean clothes from my drawer. I walked across the hall to the bathroom. After almost five minutes, I got the shower all set up. I got in and went over the occourances of the last two weeks. They were very fun and...rather pleasant. I'd met six beautiful girls, who were appearentley ponies from another dimension. From there, I won the lottery and found out my friend got engaged. I then met a princess and four other nice people. And not to mention, there was what happened the other day with the six girls I'd originally met.
It took me about ten minutes to shower. The warm water woke me up, so I pretty much ditched the idea of going back to bed. I walked out to the living room since I had decided I would watch TV. When I got out there though, I found Luna in the recliner, sleeping with a book in her lap. I sighed and went over to her to wake her up, but when I looked at the book, I decided to look at it first. I noticed the page she was opened up to had something about a prophecy. I checked the table of contents and found the book having several matters that had nothing I knew about. I figured out that the book was from their dimension. I decided against reading it and put it back in her lap. I then tapped her on the shoulder and woke her up. She drifted out of her slumber and asked why I had awoken her.
"It's four o' clock and I'm going to watch TV," I responded.
She got up and stretched, "Okay, I'll go to my actual bed then. Wake me when breakfast is ready."
I watched her walk down the stairs and go into her bedroom. I went back to the TV and turned on the Channel 4 News. I don't like watching the news, but compared to anything else on TV it's about the best thing on in the morning. Ignoring anything past the weather, my mind wandered a bit. It was going to be another cloudy day in the low 80's. Nothing special. As my mind wandered, I thought about two things mainly. First of all, I thought about Luna for a second. She was a princess. She controls the moon on her world. And she was living in my house. I didn't realize it until then, but, yeah, I had a princess that controls the moon living in my house. I laughed at that. Once that thought went by, my mind drifted to a conversation I had with my mom the day before I moved into my own house. I remembered her exact words and my exact words.
["I'm so happy you were able to go through collage!"
"Thanks mom," I said hugging her.
"So now you've finished school. What are you going to do about the next stage of life?" She asked.
I thought about her words a second and realized what she meant, "Oh, come on mom, can't you wait until I've settled into the new house first?"
"Why?"
"Mom, I can't have a kid until I meet a girl first, and I can't deal with that stress and the stress of moving in at the same time," I said chuckling a little. My mom was only fourty-four and she already wanted a grandchild.
She stuck her tounge out at me, "Fine, I'll wait, but I'm visiting in a few weeks."]
My pupils shrunk. Her visit was supposed to be the day after Hunter's wedding. Not to mention, she'd never let me hear the end of it, when she found out I had six girls and a princess living in my house. On top of that, three girls rougly the age of a early middle schoolers. She'd explode with happiness more then a grenade does shrapnel, even if nothing has gone on with them. I sighed knowing I wouldn't be able to evade the accusations. I watched TV until six o' clock. I turned off the TV and walked to the kitchen where I started up some breakfast. It was nothing special, just some pancakes, eggs, and bacon. After the breakfast was done, I set up the twelve plates around the table and went out to the garage. I filled a plastic dish with food pellets and took them out to Angel. I saw out to the barn, that the lights were on. I guess the Apples were up. Pinkie had somehow slept through me watching TV and had just now gotten up. I decided it time to get all the others up, so I went back to my room and woke up Fluttershy and Scootaloo. Rainbow got mad again and slapped me. I just walked out saying that I'd give her food to the others. She got up right away and got on her clothes. Rarity had again stayed up all night and was still awake. I woke up Sweetie Belle as she had managed to sleep during the night. After that I went downstairs and got up Twilight and Luna. Breakfast went by normally. There was the same compliments about the food's quality. The same fight between AJ and Rainbow over who got the extra pancake and me and Big Mac splitting it while they weren't looking. After breakfast, everyone was going to go off on their own thing, but Luna and Twilight stopped us.
"I would appreciate if I could explain something to you," Luna told us. She looked at the CMC and Big Macintosh, "You can go. This talk is between the holders of the Elements of Harmony, Will, and me."
They understood and went off to do their own thing. Us others sat in the living room as Luna began.
"Now, I have already explained this to Twilight, but I think you should all know. When I and the others were transported here, Discord was set free," She said looking sternly.
The girls, minus Twilight, all gasped.
"But how!" Applejack asked.
"I thought we sealed him away," Pinkie said.
"As did I. Although, my sister and I came up with a plausible solution as to why. I reminded her of the three ways that the power of the Elements could be taken away. When we narrowed it down to the final way, she remembered Prophecy 17."
"What's Prophecy 17?" Rarity asked.
Twilight spoke up, "Prophecy 17 is the belief of Starswirl the Bearded, that one day, in the life of a holder of the Elements of Harmony, they will be teleported to another dimension entirely, where they will defeat a foe defeated twice already by their power. During this fight, they'll uncover, within the spirit of a brave individual from that dimension, the seventh and most unknown element. The Element of Bravery."
"Brave individual from another dimension?" Rainbow asked while thinking, "Oh, I know, let's just find the me of this dimension."
"Dimensional travel isn't quite like that Rainbow," I spoke up, "And even if it was, the you of this dimension could be on another planet, even another galaxy. Hell, it could be on the exact opposite side of the universe! Not to mention if you two met, That could cause a paradox. In which case, well, how do I put this?"
Twilight picked up where I left off, "Both of our dimensions would be believed to just disappear."
"Does it say anything else about this brave individual?" Applejack asked.
"All else it says, is that the brave soul that aquires the seventh element will help the other six holders in their time of need," Luna noted.
They all looked at me.
"What?" I asked.
"It has to be him," Twilight said.
"Okay, before we continue, what are the Elements of Harmony and who is Discord?"
"The Elements of Harmony are emblems of the traits of friendship. Their power combined his a force to be reckoned with. In fact, why don't you take a look at them yourself?" Luna said picking up a bag and taking out five necklaces and a type of crown. I noticed the emblems on their fronts matching that of the design of the girl's cutie marks.
"Alright, well, what about that Discord guy?" I asked sitting back down.
"Discord is a creature called a draconequus. His head is that of a pony's and his body is made up of a bunch of other kinds of things," Luna explained, "He also just happens to be a spirit of chaos and disharmony. Whenever he was not encased in stone by the Elements of Harmony he was causing chaos as much as possible. He also enjoyed in turning a pony's personality completely around."
"Another thing is that he could take the Element our spirits represent and flip that too," Twilight added.
I thought about those circumstances. It occoured to me that they were implying that I was the Element of Bravery. With that in mind, I realized that he could turn me into a wimp with the snap of a finger, or claw, or whatever he had.
"Right you are, 'Will'," I heard a voice say.
"Who's there?" I called out.
"What's wrong Will?" Pinkie asked.
That's when a deep maniacal laugh filled the air. The same voice that I heard moments before began talking without there being a body to speak the words.
"Such a correct accusation you made Luna. This human male looks like he'd be a very good canadite for the seventh element. Why don't we put him to the test. Come tomorrow morning, we'll see if he is or not."
"Discord! Come out you coward!" Rainbow and Luna shouted.
"Oh, I'm not the coward, but you'll see who is soon," Discord joked, "And Luna, I've been meaning to talk to you. I know it's rougly been 1009 years since the incident, but do you remember how the Elements of Harmony's power felt when you were banished to the moon?"
"Of course not. It wasn't me that got banished. That was the spirit of Nightmare Moon that corrupted me. I wasn't in control of my actions. You know that!" Luna yelled at the ceiling since that's where his voice was coming from.
"Wait, Luna. How does he know about Nightmare Moon, if he was imprisoned?" Twilight asked.
Luna's eyes widened, "Yeah, how did you know?"
"I hear things in my wake," He scoffed, "Anyway, I have something I need to be conjuring up, so I must be off. Arrivederci!"
"What does that mean?" Fluttershy asked, "He said that to me when he flipped my personality."
"It's latin for good-bye," I told her.
"Well in the mean time, we can't predict any of his movments, so it's best we just continue our day normally," Luna said.
"The author can!" Pinkie said.
I sneezed as everyone ignored Pinkie being herself.
