Order, Harmony, and Chaos, Chapter 6.

Making plans.

(woo, Chapter siiiiix! *dances*

And these next chapters will have a cameo of Trixie, and the Flim Flam brothers. Coincidentally, one of my favorite crack pairings is FlimXTrixie. Derp.)

"So what do we do now?" Asked Rainbow Dash, flying up to the princess. Celestia silently looked into the night sky.

"For now, we sleep. There are few hours of the night left. And we need all the strength we can get before we start our journey." Dash sighed.

"But we don't have any sleeping bags!" said Rainbow Dash. Celestia laughed.

"Time to get back in touch with your ancestors. Ponies used to sleep on the ground, and graze through the fields." Twilight Sparkle nodded.

"I remember reading about that in one of your ancient books Celestia. It's hard to believe that everyone used to eat grass out in the open like that." Rarity made a disgusted face.

"Ugh, that's so unsanitary! And sleeping on the grass, Ugh!" Discord gave a mischevious grin.

"Well, tough!" said Discord, snapping his fingers and conjuring a bed of fluffy clouds, and a sleeping mask. Just as he was about to lay on them, they dissapeared, Leaving Discord to fall to the ground.

"Damn you, Order!" he cursed. "I can't practice my magic anymore!" Celestia looked up at the whizzing Screw Ball.

"Then how do you explain her being able to fly?" she asked, pointing her hoof at her. Screw ball was making 'pfft' noises with her hooves. Discord shrugged.

"Now all of you, get to bed." Said Celestia. The Princess laid herself down on the ground, and the others followed suit. Celestia laid on one side of their little out cropping, and discord on the other, making a point to not get close to each other at all, The mane six laid inbetween them, and Screw ball laid near Discord, Who picked up her face with one paw and pushed her to Twilight Sparkle. Screw ball didn't seem to mind, she just cuddled up to the other filly. Twilight sparkle akwardly let her cuddle next to her.

"Um, Screw ball?" asked Twilight Sparkle. "How old are you?" Screw Ball gave a wacky smile, her swirly eyes falling in every direction.

"I'm 1,965 years old!" Said Screw Ball.

"How can that be?" Asked Twilight Sparkle. The only immortal beings she knew of were Celestia Luna, Order and Discord, and they were only demigods, Who aged, but very slowly. Screw ball tapped her chin with one hoof.

"Well, If Dad 's immortal, and Mom's immortal, then I'm immortal!" Said Screw Ball.

"Well, I was wondering if you-" Rarity rolled over and scowled at Twilight Sparkle.

"Can you be quiet?" She asked. "I'm trying to get my beauty sleep, no matter how unglamorous it may be!" Twilight Sparkle sighed, rolled over, and fell asleep.

Twilight Sparkle woke next morning, The Early dawn streaming into her eyes, and the smell of fried grass. She sat up, to find that Celestia and Apple Jack were sititng by a fire, frying a mixture of grass, and Daisies, in some Rosemary leaves. Celestia was tending to the fire, strengthening the flames with her magic, while Apple Jack cooked. Fluttershy, Screw Ball and Pinkie pie were laying near it, talking, and Rainbow Dash was still sleeping. Rarity was in a nearby river, bathing, While Discord laid lazily on a rock out cropping above them. Twilight sparkle looked around and saw that the gray had spread farther, even touching their camp, but somehow there was a small patch of normal ground. Twilight Spare trotted up to Celestia.

"Excuse me, Princess?" asked Twilight Sparkle. "But how is it that the gray has gone around us?" she asked. Celestia turned to her.

"Oh, Twilight Sparkle, You're awake!" She said. "The gray has gone around us due to the fact that I still have some rule over the land. Me and Discord worked on getting rid of it when it slowly enroached our camp, and we were able to clear some away with a large amount of effort." She looked over the hills, down at her kingdom, where the gray was slowly spreading. "It was the first time in a long while that we had worked together on something like that..." She smiled. "But now you should eat."

"Eeyup." Said Apple Jack. "Soup's on, everypony! We got specialty made fried- rosemary grass a la daisy." Rarity finished her wash and trotted over and inspected their meal.

"It's just fried grass, isn't it?" She said. Flutter shy raised her head and examined the grass.

"Oh, I don't mind. At least we don't have to graze, Rarity." The two then began to eat, along with Pinkie pie.

"It's not cupcakes, but it's tasty!" She commented. Apple Jack walked over to the snoring Rainbow Dash, slapping her with her hoof. She started up. Apple Jack laughed.

"Eh, what?" She asked, Lazily looking around her.

"Breakfast time!" Rainbow Dash joined the hungry ponies and began eating with gusto. Twilight trotted over and ate too, along with Screw ball, and the Princess joined the group. Discord slithered off the outcropping and observed the group.

"I'm not one for grass, but i'll go catch a fish in that river." He began walking in that direction, but turned around. "I would be able to turn that grass into something more palatable, but I seem to not be able to work my magic, now order is here. Now for fish." He walked away, while Fluttershy looked like she was mourning for the fish.

After the group ate, they gathered around Celestia.

"What should we do next?" Asked Twilight Sparkle. The princess levitated the note above their heads.

"This note says that honesty is in the mountains. The only major mountains in Equestria are the Canterlot mountains, which we are in."

"But where could the Element be located in?" asked Twilight Sparkle. Celestia thought long and hard.

"Order is predictable. My guess is that It would be located on the tallest peak." Discord nodded.

"That's probably the case."

They began their journey, flying over the gray ground, with Apple Jack and Pinkie Pie, Twilight sparkle and Rarity riding on Discord, and Screw ball, Rainbow Dash, Screw ball, and Fluttershy flying above. They soon reached a town filled with gray. Angry noises could be heard below.

"Let's stop there!" Said Celestia, Diving down. Everyone else followed suit, as they spiraled down to the small town.
