Welcome! So, first off.. My Heroic Pony is a reimagining of "My Little Pony-Frienship is Magic". The first part of the story can be found here. It has a link to the second part. After you've reached the point where updates stop. Come back here, because I'll be explaining it. Some of you might even be able to help bring it back!

__________________________________________________________________

Now, as you know (Unless you really didn't read the story and crossed the line anyway), Nightmare Moon shattered the elements, and they weren't restored. The trials faved in the original show didn't happen, and so, the Mane 6 didn't find out the truth about the Elements yet. At the very last section, we see Applejack do something honest, and what would eventually become element, the element of Honesty, started to glow. Now, you probably know what the next part of the plan was-Have the four other ponies (not counting Twilight, that revelation happens near the end of Book I) do something related to their element, enough to reactivate them. ...I wasn't able to come up with ideas for this. Hence, the current lack of updates. In fact, even the Applejack scene that DID appear was kind of a stretch..

If you want to give in some ideas.. Well, here's the rules to follow. (Or we can try and wait for me to come up with them, and now you know why.)

1-Well, obviously, it must be the future bearer doing something of significance, related to their element. (You could even try and make a better Honesty idea if you wanted to... Because telling her family about them leaving to save the world.. Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's a better way to show honesty than THAT.)

2-This takes place during Season 1. So.. No references to Discord re-emeging, that's the plot of the second main arc. And Twilight cannot be a princess at this point. It MUST FIT IN WITH SEASON 1. Concepts introduced in later seasons, but were around during the era of season 1, however, can be allowed. So, the holiday of Hearth's Warming Eve can exist. But, no Cadance as a princess yet-That's to be saved for the third main arc. (Shining Armor's allowed though). This is actually why I didn't just start borrowing stuff from Season 4's "key" episodes, or the Season 7 finale's scenes.

3-Here's a thing to remember:Twilight and her allies (Well, mainly just Twilight) are on a research trip to try and figure out what makes the elements work, and how to repair their broken vessels THERE. Specifically, to the Canterlot Archives. So.. Stuff that requires Twilight to already know the magic of friendship, stuff that would require Twilight to already see the group as "friends" rather than "companions", or stuff that would require an obvious detour that has no reason to happen other than "making friends"... Isn't going to work. Canterlot is quite a far distance though, so a lot of towns, like Manehatten, would be passed through along the way. So, at least we're not limited to Ponyville and Canterlot.
