A light-brown pegasus mare with white patches on her eyes, mouth, legs and torso was working at the counter. Her cutie mark was a piece of pie with a dab of whipped cream on top.
"Well hello there! How can I help you?" She asked pleasantly. Sweetie belle skimmed over the menu.
"I'd like a taco... please." Sweetie said hesitantly. The mare smiled and nodded.
"Hey, newbie! Can you get this order?" The mare called and a brown unicorn came out wearing a fry-cook apron.
"I've got it." He said in an extremely familiar. Sweetie Belle shuddered as she thought of Discord.
The mare also seemed to shudder, as if she did not care for this new employee.
"That will be three bits, sweet heart." The mare said to Sweetie Belle. Sweetie belle took three bits out of her saddle bag.
The mare took the money and thanked her. She began to go back to fiddling with the cash register.
"Order is ready!" The brown stallion sang and levitated a taco to Sweetie Belle. Her mouth watered and her stomach growled in angry hunger. She gladly accepted the taco and bit into it.
"Enjoy the taco, Sweetie." The unicorn said. Sweetie Belle's ear twitched. Did he know her name? No. He must have just called her Sweetie... not Sweetie Belle.
Sweetie belle soon finished the taco in a few hungry chomps.
"Ahh." She sighed in satisfaction. She coughed. Her stomach began to squeeze in a sharp pain. Sweetie moaned in pain and asked shakily.
"What.... was in... that taco?!" She squeaked to the mare. She mare looked horrified at the sick little filly. She turned angrily towards the unicorn stallion and stamped a hoof on the ground.
"What did you put in the taco, newbie?!" She accused.
"Who, me? Nothing!" He grinned in mock innocence. The mare turned quickly back to Sweetie as a painful squeal escaped her mouth.
"That's it you're fired!" The mare yelled out at the unicorn. She turned around the counter and ducked down to hold up Sweetie Belle's drooping head on the floor.
Sweetie groaned and her horn sparked bright olive green. Her eyes glowed white and she began to levitate. She squeaked and peat-green magic exploded all around. The entire city flashed green and all the sky scrapers were ripped up from the ground. There was a terrible cracking noise as the buildings were crushed and folded. Ponies screamed and ran around in terror. Sweetie Belle let out another anguished squeak and all the buildings were glued neatly back in place, and the city was restored, as if nothing happened.
Manehatten flashed green again. The light was almost blinding and a low rumbling noise escaped into the air. The mare uncovered her eyes and her jaw dropped, her breathing quick and heavy.
Sweetie Belle was lied splayed over the floor. Her horn was black and burnt. The mare rushed over to her. Sweetie lifted her head and opened her eyes weakly. Apple Jack and the cutie mark crusaders came galloping through the door.
"Sweetie Belle!!!" They cried. She looked at the unicorn stallion and gasped. he had changed. She had seen it coming somehow.
He was Discord!
Back at Ponyville, the ponies were gathered around Discord.
"I'm sorry... just needed something... less boring to do." Discord apologized solemnly to the mane six, the cutie mark crusaders, and also the mare.
"Next time, I won't forgive so easily!" Fluttershy said ominously. They all turned to Sweetie Belle.
"Are you ok, darling?" Rarity fretted.
"Yep." She said simply. She smiled and said, "Now I know..." She trailed off.
All the ponies leaned in intently.
"Now I know..." They all waited in silence.
"TACOS ARE AWESOME!" Sweetie leaped into the air and a spark escaped her horn. Every pony laughed and then stopped. She was serious. Oh Celestia...
