This story is a sequel to The Return of Nightmare Moon Is Not What We Expected
It took Celestia almost a full year to bring the six element bearers back together as friends, but she finally did it. Now she could save her sister from the corruption of Nightmare Moon, as soon as her doctor allowed her to.
But for now, she would host the annual Gran Galloping Gala, hoping that the invitation of the main six would make it more fun for her.
But things don’t go as she expected.
One wonders if Discord's been out this entire time, or if he's even going to bother doing anything when he does get out.

Maybe this is how he escapes the statue
Another amazing story
Do you plan on continuing this series?
one of the most unexpected twists I've seen :D
I don’t even know how to evaluate it. the previous part of the ardor was ridiculously logical and this bribed. the continuation is quite the opposite incomprehensibly chaotically
10288875
Yes actually, all in the same kind of "timeline" and even thought about the ending.
Maybe after it I will make some asides with event's outside of premier's and season finale's.
Hope to keep it unexpected![:pinkiecrazy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiecrazy.png)

That's the art of the unexpected
PS: and that was my favorite scene to write XD
This is great. It needs to be a series!
(P.S. You were better off with Sunset, Celestia)
So Fluttershy works for PETA's special operations group, huh.
Twilight Sparkle seems to have her priorities straight, nice, having weird, active friends who take you on their own, self-conceived adventures can be okay and all, but sometimes you don't want to deal with all the complexities and just want something familiar and home-like.
I like the explanation you put in for Rainbow Dash's house and way of living before joining the WonderBolts.
It seems like Rarity has already had a couple encounters similar to the canon 'BluebloodxRarity' type, and has thus given up on the standard approach to the topic and path towards her end goal.
Applejack's seems like a fat dose of Reality™ straight to the noggin, and while some people may enjoy it, other's don't, and might even see this as directly against Applejack, I don't, I'm 'meh' on it.
Only Applejack 'failed' in her mission for the night^
The ending with Pinkie seems a bit "Wait, I have to do something strange with Pinkie! Quick, turn the creep factor up to 7!" but it sorta feels okay-ish since Pinkie is always different in how authors go into the deeper ends of her mindset, even more so when trying to do an 'off' version of her where everything is shifted or reflected a bit.

She wanted money, an she kind of has it if she manages to pull it off (She's stubborn enough to do it).
And Pinkie was kind of hard to do because of her goal and how to make it unexpected. Besides, I wanted for someone to just blow up everything at the end, so mildly terrorist Pinkie was born.

I have more ideas so it may be
Any more chaos and Discord is going to fell unneeded when he breaks out, though that line of thought along with these stories are starting to remind me of another story that was set during the royal wedding.
So to sum up the nights events. . .
Applejack now owes way more apples the she and her family can produce naturally, probably even if they call in aid from the extended family members, i can see her getting attacked by a irate Granny Smith and her can latter on.
Rarity seems is marring Blueblood and probably will become a black widow latter on.
Fluttershy seems to of become a radical animals rights activist, at least they seem to be more morally bound then PETA. . . oh and she seems to be in a relationship with Tree Hugger.
Pinkie Pie is Pinkie Pie
Twilight seems to be missing her old luxuries more then she did in canon, and she is really popular with guests who all want to talk to her.
Rainbow is now apart of a secret underground gambling group.
and Celestia knows about almost none of this (other then Twilight and Pinkie) and really only wanted to alleviate boredom while waiting for the time she can have her sister blasted with a magic rainbow and turn her back into Luna
10289425
Nah if they where like PETA then they would be taking the animals to be destroyed instead of releasing the back into their natural wild habitats.
10289558
They would have used a catapult to launch them out of the castle XD
10289555
This is a great summary of events.
Discord may feel like he needs to up his game to not get left behind.
10289579
Thanks
True, and/or he could go out of his way to mock Celestia on the turn of events.

Random out-of-the-blue headcanon hope/calling/theory/suggestion:
Discord is just really chill & not really a 'maniacal chaos lord of destruction,' or a 'puppeteering mastermind with goals beyond our comprehension' and is more of a 'laid-back practical jokester' or a 'surfer dude type with a pun/prank streak a mile wide' (that also goes all in on the word-play combined with visual gags) who started the whole 'Reign of Chaos' thing that resulted in his stone imprisonment solely so Discord could make April Fools an actual recognized holiday all over Equstria.
Was all of that happened as the result from the butterfly effect from the Nightmare Moon's starvation?
I feel bad for Applejack though.
10289888
Yes!
Especially Celestia's way of "reuniting" the element's
While there are differences in your takes on everypony (except Pinkie) I’d say none stand out quite as much as your Rarity.
Also I admit to wanting a story about the blood transfusions.
10294918
Rarity's is definitely my favorite of the bunch, second by Rainbow's. And it's hard to make Pinkie more unexpected.
Their stories will continue in the return of harmony.
Also, glad that someone mentioned at least part of Celestia's efforts for the sake of friendship, as much good as they did.
There is one ajor Problem with this: WHY THE BUCK DO I ONLY SEE IT NOW???![:flutterrage:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/flutterrage.png)
Expect that, I love it.
I doubt that Rarity will survive for long. Blueblood is after all a Prince who certanly knows a pony or two that would be able to dispose of her, so that no pony would ever suspect him.![:pinkiecrazy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiecrazy.png)
Will there be a The Return of Discord Is Not What We Expected in the future?
10479651
Yep, I just got a lot of other stories that i wanted to work on but with my current startegy they should come out faster
FUCKING PONY CHRIST RARITY!
Gangbang?
Dammit I was wrong.
10507393
I'm just requesting what a lady like me deserves![:raritywink:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/raritywink.png)
There are Strip Poker Saturdays
10507405
Oh so it might still end in a gangbang then.
.... Okay dokey
I think Incision is now one of my favourite OCs
I just.. I've got nothing to say that was... wow, especially the Canterlot folks wrecking Applejack, Fluttershy's eco vigilantism
How did Discord not bust out already in this universe?
a phycho bitch, a struck up bitch, a sister on, even the generosity
I hate rarity
