Chapter 3 - Discord
Canterlot High June 2nd 2013
Twilight lived a happy life. She had friends, family, a great teacher, and a home.
But after last night's events, she doubted that her life would ever be the same again.

The kid named Discord started walking toward these 8 friends in the study hall.
Twilight, realizing that he was coming closer, jumped behind a bookshelf so that she wouldn't be seen with her interdimensional self.
When Discord drew close, he said, "Why hello there, what a coincidence that we should meet again in here, at the same time!" He had made his words sound as if he was great friends with the 7 friends on the other side of the bookshelf. But remembering his words and the way he said them, Twilight could tell that he was deliberately looking for them.
"Cut the small talk Discord," said Rainbow Dash accusingly. "We already know you were looking for us because you always want to break our friendship. Well it is never going to happen now, because an old friend of ours, who reunited us as friends when Sunset Shimmer drove us apart, has come back and will never let us be driven apart again!"
"Ah yes, I knew I saw someone leave this table right before I came over. So who is this friend of yours? I'd very much like to meet her now that you have introduced her." said Discord menacingly.
"Oh, I'm sure you already know her, Discord," said Fluttershy in a slightly assertive voice.
"Really? Who?"
"You'll recognize her in time," said Sunset Shimmer. "In the meantime, why don't you go bother some other people? I'm sure they will be just delighted to meet you with your 'amazing powers' to make them feel like nobody care about them."
"That is very true, Sunset Shimmer," he said. "But before I go, I still wish to know. How do you always resist my little spells?"
"We already told you, Discord," said the other Twilight. "The magic of friendship."
"There is no such thing Twilight Sparkle," Discord had told her, but something told Twilight that Discord was lying through his little teeth. "I will conquer this world, and when I do," he started chuckling to himself, "You'll all be sorry for what you have done to me."
He then left in the same direction he came, laughing menacingly as he knocked over a cart filled with lined paper that was supposed to be in the library at the time, but was brought here by a misguided teacher.
"Thank goodness he's gone," Rarity said with a sigh of relief. "I couldn't stand that fashion sense he was wearing."

After witnessing the event unfold last night, Twilight remembered that she didn't have anywhere to sleep, so she asked her friends if she could stay at one of their houses. Sadly for her, they didn't have any room for her to stay in, so she just decided that she would hide out in the library until school opened again.
When everyone else came to the school, they started talking about their plans to overthrow Discord of his menacing reign of terror. They told Twilight about the way he changes others into a darker version of themselves.
"Well," Sunset started saying. "First he says that he wants to talk to you alone. Once he does that, he starts talking about how your friends don't really treat you like a true friend. Finally, once he is done with all his negative comments, you don't trust your friends anymore and you start to turn grey and want to be away from everyone."
"That sounds just like when Discord turned all of my friends in my dimension into a darker version of themselves!" Exclaimed Twilight as she finished listening to the story.
"So, how do we stop him?" Spike asked with a worried expression.
"Well," said Sunset Shimmer, "We could always start treating all the people who he changed like our friends. After they realize that their friends do care for them, they should change back to their normal selves. And after we get everyone back to normal, we can throw Discord out of the school."
"That sounds like a plan to me," said Spike.
"It won't be that simple, Spike," Twilight reminded him. "We have to do this before the moon reaches its pike in the sky tomorrow, or we can't return home."
"Oh yeah," he said. "I forgot about that."
"Before we get started with all of that," Twilight said. "There is something I wish to ask my interdimensional self."

Twilight looked almost all around the school, looking for herself. She finally found her in the study hall studying for a test she had in a few days.
When Twilight approached her, she looked up and said, "Oh, hey Twilight, did you come up with a plan to bring down Discord?"
Twilight replied to her question, saying, "Yes we did, but before we get that started, there was something I wanted to ask you."
"Sure" she said. "What is it?"
"I wish to know exactly how you met Sunset Shimmer and the others."
The other Twilight frowned and asked, "Why would you want to know that?"
"No reason," she lied. "I just wanted to know how you came to know about the other dimension."
"Oh, ok," she said. "It all star--"
"One last thing before you start?" she interrupted. "Can you include how and when Discord came to this school?"
"Sure thing," she said before continuing. "It all started when I transferred schools on January 13th 2012..."
