"Twilight," Rainbow Dash said in a bored tone. "Are you going to be ready anytime soon? Cause, y'know, patience is not always my thing..." Twilight looked up from the book and stared at her. She then resumed reading. Applejack and Rarity exchanged glances.
"Darling?" Rarity tried to get Twilight's attention. Twilight lowered the book slightly, and gave her a glance that said 'go on'."Well, me and Applejack thought, that you could call us when your finished looking for the -"
A large scream cut her off, "I've found it!" Twilight cried out, flapping her wings in joy. She then fell to the ground, and rubbed her aching hoof. She shrugged it off, and levitated the book in front of her with her magic. She walked to the table. She rested the book on a stand. "I'll have to reword it slightly, but here it goes," Twilight said, taking a deep breath.
"W - wait!" Fluttershy said in a small voice. "How do you know it isn't dangerous?"
"Oh don't worry," Twilight reassured Fluttershy. "It's a simple window spell, what could go wrong?" Twilight then took in another deep breath, and recited the spell words without interruption.
"What ever did happen, Twilight?" Rarity asked, her voice echoey and distant.
"Guys, look below you..." Rainbow Dash said, her voice sounding the same as Rarity's. They all did, and where shocked at the sight. Their bodies were below them. They were all distraught. Applejack sighed. She noticed the window was the only colourful thing in the room. She said this out loud. A large sigh was heard from Rarity.
"My hat! It was decorated with the reddest rubies I could find!" She cried. Twilight, believing she knew what to do, marched into the window, realising it was a door. The others followed. As they entered, they found themselves in a swirling vortex. They ran through it, confused as to what to do. They came to the end. Pinkie Pie flew through the exit, and the others followed.
"GEROMINO!" Pinkie Pie's scream could be heard as she hopped through. They all smiled. Whatever danger would await them, it was for sure that they would be together.
"If only our bodies were here too.." Twilight said. They all agreed in sync. Suddenly, the world around them zoomed past into a blur, the blur becoming a path, path becoming walls until they finally stopped in the middle of the Royal Throne Room. Princess Celestia and Luna were in front of them. But they were so... Different. Luna was larger, more like Celestia. Celestia looked like the youngest. This definitely was strange. Strange as could be.
"What are your affairs here, Elements of Chaos?" Princess Luna asked in a cold voice. The six friends glanced at each other.
"Elements... Of Chaos?" They chorused together, quite confused.
Prologue
Simply a Spell
The six friends, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle crowded in Twilight's library. They watched her flip through the pages of her spell book. It had been given to her by Princess Celestia, as the label had said."Twilight," Rainbow Dash said in a bored tone. "Are you going to be ready anytime soon? Cause, y'know, patience is not always my thing..." Twilight looked up from the book and stared at her. She then resumed reading. Applejack and Rarity exchanged glances.
"Darling?" Rarity tried to get Twilight's attention. Twilight lowered the book slightly, and gave her a glance that said 'go on'."Well, me and Applejack thought, that you could call us when your finished looking for the -"

"Oh don't worry," Twilight reassured Fluttershy. "It's a simple window spell, what could go wrong?" Twilight then took in another deep breath, and recited the spell words without interruption.
"Come to us, our elements, though we do not possess you,
Allow us to look through a window and see what cannot be seen,
To see, but not interfere, with a world like ours,
But different, so different, it is."
"What ever did happen, Twilight?" Rarity asked, her voice echoey and distant.
"Guys, look below you..." Rainbow Dash said, her voice sounding the same as Rarity's. They all did, and where shocked at the sight. Their bodies were below them. They were all distraught.

The six spirits walked upon the red ground, angry, confused and sad muttering could be heard from them all. The sky was coloured orange, the sun hardly moving. They had been walking for hours."If only our bodies were here too.." Twilight said. They all agreed in sync. Suddenly, the world around them zoomed past into a blur, the blur becoming a path, path becoming walls until they finally stopped in the middle of the Royal Throne Room. Princess Celestia and Luna were in front of them. But they were so... Different. Luna was larger, more like Celestia. Celestia looked like the youngest. This definitely was strange.

First Chapter

The six friends watched Princess Luna stare at them. Her eyes drifted along each one them, her eyes showing no emotion, no thought not even any life. Meanwhile, Princess Celestia played with her tiara. It was quite weird to them, seeing Princess Luna in charge. She then stopped staring, and turned to her Sister.
"Celestia? What do you think?" She asked her, sounding like Princess Celestia. She looked up.
"I think we should send them away. You said we didn't have any chaotic duties, except maybe..." Princess Celestia looked at Twilight. She got from the throne, and walked towards her. "Maybe, they could keep Harmonia in check? He is spreading flowers all around..." Twilight Sparkle frowned at the word Harmonia. Who could he be? But then she realised something. If everything was different that means...
Discord was affected too.
Fluttershy looked at the others. All of them were quite shocked, except Pinkie Pie. She just hopped along happily.
"So, if everything is opposite..." Twilight said. "Doesn't that mean our elements ate reversed too?" She pointed to everyone.
"Disloyalty?" Rainbow Dash said, quite shocked.
"Dishonesty?" Applejack said in the same way.
"M -meanness?" Fluttershy mumbled.
"Gloominess!" Pinkie Pie shouted, bouncing higher than ever before.
"Selfishness? Why, I have never been so!" Rarity cried out dramatically. Twilight looked away. She sighed.
"That only leaves me as..." She looked back at her CutieMark. It was a vial with purple liquid in. "Science. The completion of the Elements of Chaos." She said, sighing. She and her friends needed to get out of here quickly. Who knows what too much good could do to a bad parallel world.
"Twilight!" Pinkie Pie said. Twilight turned to her. She took a big breath. "Ithinkthatinordertogethomewewillhavetodothatspellagainandgobackthrough!"
"Slower please, Pinkie?" Twilight asked, hardly understanding Pinkies words.
"I think that in order to get home we will have to do that spell again and go back though!" Pinkie repeated. Twilight thought it through.
"We could give it a chance." Twilight said. She then noticed their surroundings had changed. They were now in a forest, with beautiful trees and singing birds. They walked through, admiring this nice contrast. They then heard singing. It was quite nice, very harmonious. They then came into a clearing. In the middle was a fountain, from which sprang beautiful, crystal clear water. On the top of the fountain was a pedestal, and on the top of the pedestal the singer was revealed.
They has found Harmonious.
"Let's see, do you girls want to put me in stone?" Harmonious asked, touching them all on the muzzle.
"Of course not, dear!' Rarity exclaimed.
"Oh yes? Then why are you here? You don't ever seem to come if you're not doing that." He said, going on his memory of them.
"We aren't exactly... The ponies you know." Rainbow Dash attempted to explain the situation.
"Yeah, we did a body jump!" Pinkie Pie shouted, bouncing higher to emphasise her point.
"Yeah, I'm thinkin' Pinkie is right." Applejack said. All of them were silent as they watched Harmonious. He hardly blinked an eye. An obvious expression of thought on his face. He stepped to Twilight.
"Is this true?" Harmonious asked. Twilight looked into his eyes.
"I can easily say that all of my friends here are speaking the whole truth." She said. Harmonious could tell in her eyes she was desperate, hoping that he would believe her as he should rightly do so. He looked at her sympathetically. He got his paw, and wrapped her hair around his claw.
"I believe you. Something I would rarely do for the true owner of this body." He said, turning away from them all.
"What now?" Fluttershy asked, looking around. Harmonious smiled. Out of his paw sprang a small bunny.
"I figured you'd like him." Harmonious said, the bunny hopping onto Fluttershy's back. "Since you all seem to be the opposite of the owners." Fluttershy squealed in delight, and gently stroked it. They all crowded around the cute bunny, except Rainbow Dash who just hovered ahead. "Now," Harmonious said. "Let's go."
"What should we do now?" Twilight asked Harmonious.
"You need to visit the last neutral party, led by a great dragon known as Spike."
"Spike?!"
Chapter One
The Elements of What Now?
The six friends watched Princess Luna stare at them. Her eyes drifted along each one them, her eyes showing no emotion, no thought not even any life. Meanwhile, Princess Celestia played with her tiara. It was quite weird to them, seeing Princess Luna in charge. She then stopped staring, and turned to her Sister.
"Celestia? What do you think?" She asked her, sounding like Princess Celestia. She looked up.
"I think we should send them away. You said we didn't have any chaotic duties, except maybe..." Princess Celestia looked at Twilight. She got from the throne, and walked towards her. "Maybe, they could keep Harmonia in check? He is spreading flowers all around..." Twilight Sparkle frowned at the word Harmonia. Who could he be? But then she realised something.

They has found Harmonious.

Harmonious watched their every move. He was so surprised at their expressions. They seemed confused, sad and helpless. He couldn't believe it. Weren't they normally cruel tyrants who virtually ruled Equestria? And to think when he ruled he was such a good leader... Everypony was happy. He walked towards them."Let's see, do you girls want to put me in stone?" Harmonious asked, touching them all on the muzzle.
"Of course not, dear!' Rarity exclaimed.
"Oh yes? Then why are you here? You don't ever seem to come if you're not doing that." He said, going on his memory of them.

They came into a brightly lit cave. Blue, luminescent gems came from the walls and ceiling, acting like lights. The floor was carpeted blue. They came to a halt beside a deep hole, filled with water. "It is called the seeing pool. No one knows about it, griffons, dragons and ponies alike. I do though. I created it with a concentration of Harmonious energy." Harmonious dipped his paw in the water. Curious, they all did the same. Suddenly, images of all the events the six friends had had up until then came into all of their minds."What should we do now?" Twilight asked Harmonious.
"You need to visit the last neutral party, led by a great dragon known as Spike."
"Spike?!"
Critique is welcome. Also, I know it's fast paced though the pace will slow down quite a bit during the first chapter.
