Discord looked down at the ponies running around scared trying to find the elements. "Keep trying, Twilight Sparkle." Said Discord mockingly, "Maybe the magic of friendship can help you. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some chaos to wreck."
Somewhere in Ponyville
"How much longer!! I am getting kinda tired standing in chocolate rain!" Complained Scootaloo. She and her friends were huddled up under a pink unbrella at the Ponyville Train Station. The girls were waiting for there sisters to come back after getting an mandatory meeting with the princess. Scootaloo looked up and kinda guessed whatever the emergency was, it wasn't going anywhere. The chocolate rain kept on coming down.
"Wait look! Here comes a train!! And its one from Canterlot!" Squeaked Sweetie Belle. Her little white horn gave a little spark of magic to go with her excitement. The mystical sparks bedazzled for a second in a pale green, very much similar to Sweetie's eyes.
"Y'all better not act like this when the train stops! I really don't want another lecture from Applejack about manners!" Yelled Applebloom at her two friends who didn't even bother to hear her. Applebloom sighed.
The midnight starry train came riding along at full speed. Princess Luna had to make it to Twilight's library before it was to late. Knowing that if anypony saw her would just end up screaming 'nightmare moon', Luna wore a black silky hooded cape. Stepping one hoof of the platform, Luna's eyes met with the Crusaders. The Crusaders looked back with eyes milky white with fear.
"Its Nightmare Moon! Everypony run for your lives!"Screamed Applebloom. A small dust cloud stood where the three ponies had stood. Each dust cloud was going in opposite directions. Luna gave out a sigh of disbelief and hung her head down. A scream came from behind the station and Luna's ears shot straight up. She ran towards the direction of the pitch.
"Stop squirming! Your pulling my mane!" Sqeaked Sweetie Belle.
"Then you stop being bossy!" Applebloom remarked at Sweetie.
"At least its not tree sap!" Laughed Scootaloo trying to get a smile onto her friends grumpy faces. Both looked back at here faces burning red and flame in there eyes.
Luna turned the corner to find the crusaders tangled in a cotton candy cloud. Luna laughed a little to herself at the sight. The night princess looked up to the sky to see if Discord was in the sky laughing at the outrageous sight. But the dragonicus seemed no where in sight. Luna beckoned forward to help the fillies but fear held her back. These fillies still saw her as the monster she was moons ago.
"How can I be a hero if everyone sees me as a monster! Maybe I shouldn't have come." Whispered Luna to herself. She stumbled back towards the train but stopped when she heard a familiar voice.
"Princess Luna!!" Screamed Spike the Dragon. Spike was getting bored of being home alone while Twilight and the others were still gone. The Crusaders had told Spike earlier that they were gonna be at the train station and if he wanted to tag along, he could. Spike discarded the offer thinking it wasn't worth it. The baby dragon filled with joy dashed towards the princess. He hoped he could get news on what was taking so long.
"Spike no! She is evil!" Screamed Scootaloo but that didn't stop him. Spike's stubby legs flew him to where the princess stood.
"Luna, where is Twilight?' Asked Spike with a puppy dog face, 'Is she dea..." Spike couldn't finished his sentence without coughing out tears. The alicorn hugged the dragon close.
"No they are fine' Said Luna with reinsurance. 'But not for long. I am going to need your help.' Luna looked at the crusaders still stuck togather. 'And you guys too. Are you up to it?

That night Applebloom started to rustle in her sleep. Opening her eyes, Applebloom found herself in the Grand Ballroom at Canterlot castle. Looking over her sholder, Applebloom saw Scootaloo just as confused as she was. What pondered Applebloom even more was how Scoots had on a magnificent gown, with brown sparkly silk that matched perfectly with her shining orange coat. Applebloom looked down at her own hooves and niticed green glass slippers on her hooves. She exaimined the amazing dress she was wearing herself. A lily blossem green lace dress with gold tool under the lace. Infront of the two fillies stood Sweetie Belle in a sky blue sweetheart gown. All three girls looked around to realize only they were in the room. Before the ponies stood the marbal statue they saw earlier at there field trip to the Canterlot Stone garden. The fine crafted marble started to chip slowly and then totally colasped. Shards and dust covered the girls making it hard to see. Right where the statue once stood was a creature.
"Friends? That must be what you three must call each other. Strange considering it was you three's little quarrel that got me out of that stone cold prison in the first place!" Mocked the Dragoncuss. He snapped his fingers and right above the crusaders was a cloud. Not just any cloud but it had a touch of pink. Another snap came form the crooked fingers and a mountain of chocolate milk drenched the once beautiful dresses.
"Cut it out, ya big bully!" Applebloomed hollered at the monster.
"Bully? Coming from the pony who bullied her own cousin!" He stooped to Applebloom's level
"What are you even talking about?" Asked Scootaloo flapping her little wings to get to the dragoncus's level.
"Oh wait that hasn't happened yet! This is only season 2!! This happens in the next season" Said the monster to himself while breaking the forth wall. The ponies looked back at him with confused faces. "Do you remember that class trip you took to the gardens?"
"W-what!" Squeked Sweetie Belle. She realized what this monster in the nightmare was trying to tell them.
Scootaloo also caught on as well. "You mean...?' Scootaloo stammered, 'You.. you were the statue?"
"Correction dear Scootaloo! I am the statue! My name is Discord. No need to tell me yours. I already know!" Boasted Discord.
"How... in what tarnation is that possible?" Stuttered Applebloom.
"Give the little pony a prize!' Cheered Discord. With a snap of his fingers, Applebloom was dry with a purple silk robe on and a Applecane in one hoof. "And let me thank the three of you! I would never been able to take over Equestria without your help!"
"How dare you! You think you can intimidate poor, defenseless fillies and get away with it!" Shouted a familiar voice.
"Luna!" Screamed the Crusaders.
