Chapter One

The deep blue pegusas breathed in the chilly winter air. It was just another day of her favorite season- and it was even better in the sky.
"Cloud Cover!" some one called from the ground. Cloud looked down. Her mother, Rainbow Dash, was calling. She still hasn't found me, the light-pink eyed pegusas thought. But that didn't last long. Rainbow flew up to the lone cloud, sitting higher then the rest. "Hey," she smiled, "Pinkie made nachos."
"Oh! Nachos!" Cloud smiled. Some ponies thought it was very confusing, the way Rainbow's family worked- but it wasn't, really. It had all started at the start of the 'Great Cider Sales', Dash's favorite time of year. She had gone out a drunken too much of it, and she met a stallion. Some stuff happened, and twelve months later, Cloud Cover was born. The stallion couldn't be found, and Pinkie forgave Rainbow. Since the two were legally married, Pinkie had helped raise Cloud since Day One, and they all still lived together. Cloud flew to Sugercube corner, Rainbow behind. The legendary cyan mare was getting old- she wasn't as fast as she used to be. Halfway there, however, they were forced to touch the ground by some one's aura.
"H-huh? What the hey!?" Cloud tried to escape, but it was useless. Rainbow chuckled once she saw who her daughter was trying to escape from.
"Hiya, Cloud." the stallion smiled. Cloud looked over, and blushed. Prince Thunder Bright was sitting on the ground, holding Cloud still with his magic.
"Um... hi..." Cloud stammered, "Can you let me go?"
"Sure- but I'm afraid you won't have time for nachos," Thunder said.
This time, Rainbow spoke up. "HEY! Prince or not, you shouldn't go around stalking mares!"
"Well... uh... it's-it's urgent! I definitely wasn't waiting to get you so I could watch Cloud! ...Oops." the Prince frowned. He was a horrible liar- and good at magic. If you couldn't see him, you'd think he was half-Twilight, half-Applejack. But that wasn't the case. His father was Flash Century, and his mother Twilight Sparkle.
"I guess if it's urgent..." Rainbow sighed.
"Oh- sorry, Mrs. Dash! I didn't mean to keep you! Mother said she only needed Cloud to come. You can go tell Mrs. Pie that your daughter will be gone for a while." Thunder explained. Rainbow gave him a confused look, but she knew not to question Twilight Sparkle. The cyan mare slowly, but surely, flew away.
Cloud groaned. There goes my perfect day...

"Oh, good- now you're all here." Princess Twilight nodded. She was taller then Flash, but only a bit, and her mane was waving slightly.
"Um... Princess Twilight, Eh'm sure you know what yer doin'- but couldn' this wait?" Apple Crunch asked nervously.
"I'm sorry, Crunch, but this can't be postponed." Twilight replied, voice stocked with seriousness.
"What's the matter?" Silent Harmony said in his soft, calm voice.
"You're parents have told you all about New York and the Turtles, right?" the Princess asked.
"Of course!" the five ponies said at once. The offspring of the Mane Six- Cloud Cover, Prince Thunder Bright, Apple Crunch, Silent Harmony, and Discord Calamity.
"Well, before we came back to Equestria, I cast a spell that was supposed to trap the Nightmare's essence in it's original prison- but a friend has told us she has spotted it lurking in New York," Twilight explained.
"Wha!? The elements of harmony have to stop her!" Cloud gasped. Calamity and Harmony nodded in unison. Although they were exact opposites, Calamity being a female draconeqques and Harmony a pegusas stallion, they were very close as siblings.
"But they can't," Flash finally spoke, "Because 'they' aren't who you think they are."
"What?" Crunch blinked.
"Father means that the old Elements of Harmony (Mother, Mrs. Dash, Mrs. Pinkie, Mrs. Applejack, Mrs. Fluttershy, and Mrs. Rarity, who stayed in New York) have passed down their elements. Although, not to their exact child, just to the Element's generation," Thunder explained.
"So, what yer sayin' is..." the blonde-haired stallion began, but was too shocked to continue.
Calamity finished for him, "We're the Elements of Harmony?"
"...Yes. I've sent messengers to tell you're parents, because they don't drop by here as often any more." the Princess nodded, looking upon the five ponies. "Cloud Cover, the Element of Honesty. Apple Crunch, the Element of Loyalty. Silent Harmony, the Element of Generosity. Discord Calamity, the Element of Laughter." (Calamity thanked Twilight by snapping a waterbed into existence. It was, all in all, a nice waterbed.) "And last but not least, Thunder Bright- Element of Magic."
"But what about the Element of Kindness?" Cloud frowned.
"Well, Rarity must have a daughter. DUHZ!" Calamity replied happily, teleporting to her friend's side. Cloud looked up. Although that comment had been sorta-reassuring, the pegusas still had a straight face. "Aww. Here, I can fix that..." Calamity smiled and leapt onto Cloud, beginning to tickle her.
"OKAY!" Cloud Cover snorted, "I-I'm smiling!"
"Good!" Calamity nodded and teleported back to her original position, leaving Cloud to giggle helplessly on the floor. Twilight and Flash had left after giving Thunder some directions.
"Okay, guys. When you're all ready, I'll teleport us." the Alicorn nodded. After Cloud was done, she sighed and got up.
The deep blue mare smiled, "I'm ready."
The others nodded, and Thunder began his spell. His horn glowed neon orange (it looked good next to his white coat and short indigo mane) and a think strip of lighter orange stretched out in a circle around the five ponies. slowly, it grew and surrounded them in a sphere as they were lifted up into the air. With a flash of yellow-orange light, they were gone.
