I yawned. Sleep did not come easy last night, knowing that I probably only had 2 more days left in Equestria. No matter how much I denied it, I actually loved being with all these ponies. They have taught me a lot about friendship, and I am not sure I'm ready to leave yet.
My last lesson was with Princess Twilight Sparkle, and I assumed she was going to teach me how to use this pointy stick on my head, seeing as her element was magic. I smiled to myself as I looked over, seeing Rainbow Dash hanging off the edge of her bed. Tank was trying to pull her back up, but that was not going so well. I got up, and drowsily wandered over to assist Tank. Once Rainbow was safely on the bed, I trotted to the door to see if Twilight was there yet, seeing as she probably didn't want to appear rude by waking me. Sure enough, a purple alicorn was sitting by the path, reading a book. I had the feeling the book had some significance, but I was too high up to see what the title was.
"Princess!"I called down to her. When she looked up, she smiled. "I will be down in a minute, I just have to quickly grab something!" When she nodded, I ran inside. I poured myself a cup of h2o and a rope, and I left the cloud, closing the door behind me. One end of the rope, I tied to a post by the door, the other end dropping down to the ground. Then, I grasped hold of the rope, and slid down. Once my 4 hooves were safely planted on the ground, I saw a magenta aura surround the rope, and, as if by outs own accord, took the shape of a Pegasus, and 'flew' up to the post.
I turned to Twilight. "You've gotta teach me how to do that!"
She smiled. "Come on, Sugar, we can start your lesson in my castle!" And we trotted away.

I glared at the pebble on the table. In my mind, I imagined it lifting to eye level. A soft, violet mist surrounded it. The pebble wobbled a bit, but stayed in place. I groaned in frustration. I had been trying this for 20 minutes, and very little progress had been made, well according to me. Twilight seemed to think I was doing well. She kept saying that she could barely make a soft glow surround a stone when she first tried, let alone lift it.

I sighed, and closed my eyes in defeat, wishing so much that the pebble would move. I heard a gasp, so I opened my eyes. What I saw was not what I was expecting. The pebble was raised at eyelevel, along with multiple other objects, like books and brooms. The objects formed the shape of a Pegasus. I took a step back, shocked. The violet aura surrounding the objects disappeared, and everything fell to the ground.
"Excellent! That was fantastic for a beginner, no offense. What did you do to create that?" Twilight asked, excitedly.
"I-I don't know! I just was wishing really badly that the pebble was at eyelevel, and I opened my eyes to see that!" I stuttered.
"Well, whatever happened, you did great! We can move on to a few more different tasks, and you will have completed your training on friendship. All you will have left to do is make friends of your own in your land." Twilight smiled at me. I mirrored her expression. We continued on to a lesson on teleportation.

I grinned gleefully. I had mastered levitation, teleportation, and different weather tricks, such as cloud shaping. I was going to be sleeping at Twilight's castle tonight, and then I will report to the princess on my progress. If she deems me ready, I will be granted permission to head back to my home. I was kind of sad. I had grown close to these ponies over the week, and was reluctant to leave them.
I could tell that Twilight took pride in teaching me this much about magic in one day, and seeing me progress well.
I decided to take a walk in the town. I had acquired some coins during my stay, and I intended to use them, seeing as I wouldn't be here for much longer.
As I walked into the market, I noticed a cute little foal staring dreamily at a small cupcake in Sugarcube Corner. I held a few coins in my hoof, and used magic to teleportation the items in front of the little colt. He saw a flash, and looked away from the cupcake, to find 4 little coins on the counter. He looked around, and searched for the owner of the money, and I hid in a group of ponies. He then, warily bought 2 cupcakes. He brought one to a pony who looked sad, and she appeared to cheer up. I smiled at the kind deed.
I left the shop, and sat at a table in the center of the town, smiling. My smile quickly switched to a frown, when I noticed a little colt being yelled at by some older ponies. The teens were calling the little one names.
I marched right up to those bullies, and scolded them for their rudeness. This little foal was a pony too. He had a life, and I wasn't going to let it be ruined by some irresponsible teenagers. I gave the colt a few coins, and went back to the castle. I had to write my, hopefully, last letter to the princess.
When I got to the castle, Twilight was waiting for me. We chatted for a bit, but I reminded her that I had to write to the princess. Twilight can get pretty paranoid about tardiness.
I got to one of the many guest rooms, and found a quill, some ink, and a paper scroll. I began to write...

Dear Princess Celestia,

I have learned a lot about friendship this past week, and am thankful for the guidance of the other ponies.
Pinkie pie taught me tons about laughter. We had a great time hanging out, and going to the comedy show. You can't have friendship without laughter.
Applejack showed me how much respect and trust people put into you what you are honest, and lying does not preserve friendship.
Fluttershy may be shy, but she is the kindest pony I know. I love how much she cherishes animals like her friends.
Rarity is all about fashion, and loves to look her best, but when it comes to generosity, there could never be a pony who suits that word more.
Rainbow dash is all about speed and agility. She loves to play sports, and with teams. There are many situations in sports that she can show her loyalty. When a team offers her a positions, no matter how good they are, she will always refuse and be loyal to her team.
Twilight and I had lots of fun today, and I learned much about magic. She taught me levitation, weather, and teleportation. We had a blast.
At first I was frustrated, but once I was able to perform the first task, I completed the rest with ease. Magic is fun, and helpful most of the time. In know I won't be able to use magic back home, but I love it nonetheless.
All these elements are a necessity to friendship, and my bond with these ponies has grown to that. I am ready to return to canterlot for you to judge whether I should go home, or stay another week.
Until next time,
Sugar Blossom

Twilight pov

I was reading a book on prophecies, when I found something interesting enough that I decided to show the princess:

On the fullest of full moons,
The mirror of mystery will spit out
A child with a sweet name
Much like a flower

From a dimension far away
This child will appear
Learning the ways
Taught by the fourth princess

The elements align
Combining mighty power
Of six single ponies
To create number seven

I teleported to the castle in canterlot, and knocked on the throne room. The doors opened, and I trotted in , seeing the princess on the throne. I bowed.
"Princess Twilight, I have been expecting you. What is it you desire me to see?" Princess Celestia said in her soothing voice.
"How did you know I was coming, princess?"I asked, not surprised at all. The princess seemed to know everything that was about to happen before it did.
"You know how."
"I came to show you this." I pulled out the prophecy book. I handed her the book. She looked at it with furrowed eyebrows. Once she was finished reading she handed the book back to me.
"This is the prophesy I have been following for 50 years, waiting for a pony to come out of the mirror of mystery."
"Your majesty, what does this mean?"
She looked at me sincerely. "This, Twilight Sparkle, means that Sugar Blossom will summon a seventh element of harmony. The element of..."

Am i mean, or am I mean?!
Can you guess what the seventh element is? Comment your idea, and if you get it right, I will mention you in the next chapter.
Bye turtles!
