Inside the office, Principal Celestia approached the two students pointing their backs at each other while everyone else watching. Discord and Twilight didn't move their heads one bit toward each other.
"Discord, Twilight, is there something I should know about?" Celestia asked.
"First of all, I need to know how you all know my name?" the purple girl asked.
"More importantly, what are you doing here, Sparkle?" Discord asked. "Come to pop even more of my bubbles?"
"Believe it or not, Discord, if I had known you were here, I would never come here." Twilight said.
"Discord, what's she talking about?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "How do you know her?"
"Sparkle used to go to one of the schools I attended." Discord described. "She was the smartest girl in class and the biggest tattletale."
Twilight responded by turning to Discord harshly. "You messed with the chemicals in the science lab!"
"Hey, I created life!" Discord said. "I made a green goop alive. I called it... the Smooze."
"That thing gobbled up every shiny object it could find and kept growing!" Twilight shouted. "It took a hazmat team to get it under control!"
"Anyway, after that, she got me expelled." Discord continued. "I've never forgotten what she did since."
"Discord, we've mentioned Twilight a dozen times over the past month." Fluttershy said. "Why didn't you recognize her before?"
"You only said 'Twilight'." Discord explained. "You never told me her last name and I didn't know this girl long enough to know her first as much as I never even met the version of her that you met!"
"Let me stop you right there." Twilight interrupted. "What are you all talking about?"
"It's... a little hard to explain." Rainbow Dash said scratching the back of her head. "Sunset, would you please explain?"
"All right. You see, Twilight... I'm not a normal girl. I'm from an alternate world called Equestria where we are all ponies. I ran away to this world and brought a bunch of trouble with me. I tried to use Equestrian magic to become more powerful, but I was stopped... by the Equestrian version of you. She kinda... followed me."
"I what... I mean, she what?" Twilight asked.
"And that wasn't the end." Sunset Shimmer continued. "You see, we needed her again. Another mess found its way to us and she helped us stop it. Some time later, Discord arrived and helped us out of another mess."
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Twilight laughed loudly. Spike barked his laughter as well. "THAT'S HILARIOUS! DISCORD... HELPING PEOPLE!"
"Hey, I resent that remark!" Discord snapped. "Twilight, I've changed since you last saw me. I rose from my cocoon."
"It was less of a cocoon and more of a time bomb!" Twilight said. "I've moved to this town trying to investigate."
"And you moved here on your own?" Celestia asked.
"Not entirely." Twilight replied. "My brother's gonna join me tomorrow morning. Look, I'm having a hard time believing that there's a world full of ponies. I saw the magic you were using earlier, but the fact about a pony world and Discord in self-control are pathetic."
"Nope. It's all true."
Twilight and Spike jumped up and followed the voice to the computer screen on the wall. A black figure appeared on the pale-white background on the screen.
"What the..." Twilight asked in shock. "What.. Who... Where..."
"That leaves out why and when, I guess." the figure on the screen said. "Name's Devastator. I'm the artificial intelligence that controls the school's network system. I also have security footage of every adventure that happened at this school if you want to see it."
"I did not see that coming." Twilight stated. "How are you alive?"
"Ooh, teacher!" Discord said holding his hand up. "Me! Me! I brought him to life!"
"You?" Twilight asked raising an eyebrow. "You can't make life. You make mistakes."
"Does a mistake-maker make this?" Discord asked with a grin and a snap of his fingers. Suddenly, a stick of cotton candy materialized in his hand spooking Twilight and Spike. "I don't know why I didn't show you this seconds ago."
"You?!" Twilight gasped. "You're the chaos factor?!"
"I've been called worse." Discord answered. He pointed the cotton candy to Pinkie Pie.
"Don't mind of I do." Pinkie said taking the cotton candy out of Discord's hand and started eating it bit by bit.
"So... there is magic from a pony world that I've been researching?" Twilight asked. She turned to head to Flash Sentry who was watching her the whole time. She pointed at him. "Is he magic too?"
"Seriously?" Discord asked in a chuckle. "Look at him."
"Hey!" Flash reacted.
"BARK, BARK, BARK!" Spike exclaimed loudly toward Discord. He kept yapping causing Discord to cover his ears aggressively.
"Ai, ai, ai!" Discord screamed. "I forgot how annoying that mutt is! Seriously, what is it you're saying?!" Discord made a break to snap his fingers.
"BARK, BARK, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE TO MAKE SNAP-DECISION ONE-LINERS AGAINST EVERYONE!" Spike shouted. Suddenly, he realized what he just said and gasped. His expression was shared with everyone else but Discord.
"Spike?!" Twilight asked in surprise.
"What the..." Spike gasped. "What just happened?! Discord, what did you do?!"
"I always wondered what you had to say to me." Discord said. "Now, I can hear you. And don't give the whole if-you-can't-say-anything-nice line on me."
"This is ridiculous!" Twilight shouted. "What else could go wrong?!"
It was very convenient she'd say that. At that very moment, Trixie's scream was heard when she hit the crowd in front of the office. Discord, Twilight, Celestia, and the others walked out and saw Trixie panicking and breathing heavily.
"Trixie, dear, what's the matter?" Rarity asked.
"Sta-sta-sta-sta-sta-sta..." Trixie stuttered in fear. "Gli-gli-gli-gli-gli-gli... Sta-sta-sta-sta-sta-sta... Gli-gli-gli-gli-gli-gli..."
"TRIXIE!" Sunset interrupted. Trixie stopped talking. "What is the matter? You look like you've seen a ghost."
"Might as well, considering I'm dead to you all." a familiar voice said. Everyone followed it to the outside with the door opened. Discord walked through and gasped.
"It can't be." Discord gasped.
"Honestly, everyone," Starlight Glimmer said, "Did you think I'd be gone forever?"
"Starlight Glimmer." Discord growled.
"Glad you remember me, Discord." Starlight said. "Yes, one should remember his arch-nemesis."
"Oh, is that what you are?" Discord shot back. "I thought you were someone who failed to defeat me once with her evil genius plan."
"That's what an arch-nemesis is!" Starlight said.
"Enough mind warfare!" Discord shot back. "Honestly, today, my two least favorite girls just pop up out of the blue! Seriously, Starlight, why are you here?"
"Contrary to what you'd think I'd do in a million years," Starlight sighed, "I'm here to... apologize."
Nobody kept a straight face after hearing that. No one understood the situation.
"Come again?" Discord asked confusingly.
"You hear me." Starlight said. "I know what you're thinking. 'She can't be trusted'. Just listen to me.
"Friends, peers, fellow students
I'm not who I used to be
I've turned over a new leaf
Now, I finally see
I'm not here to mean you harm
I'm a whole different girl
Ever since what I've been through
My mind's been on a twirl
You know, you were right to stop me
I couldn't be more proud
Of being part of the different folk
And joining in on the crowd
I'm me. You're you
It couldn't be more clear
I'm me. You're you
You've got nothing to fear
As of right now, I promise
To make amends for my wrongs
Now that all I tried to throw out
Are right where they belong
I was a shortsighted woman
And you're an obviously proud school
If you want, I'll repeat what you said
I WAS STUBBORN AND CRUEL
Show me the right way
And then, I'll stay track
I would never change anything
IF YOU WOULD TAKE ME BACK
I'm me. You're you
I finally see that now
I'm not some dictator
Who can force you all to bow
I'm me. You're you
My chances were already slim
And someone helped me see that
IT WASN'T HIM OR HER OR HIM! IT WAS HIM
Discord... thank you
Because of you, I've seen the liiiiiiight
Now that I understand friendship
I'll take the chance to actually set things riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight"
"That's very fascinating." Rainbow Dash sarcastically with a roll of her eyes. "Still, that does not excuse the fact that you tried to ruin our school."
"I know," Starlight said, "And I don't know if you can forgive me. I tried to change who you are and I shouldn't have? Thankfully, I am rehabilitated."
"I'm going to need some proof of this claim, Ms. Glimmer." Celestia said.
"The psychiatrist who treated me will mail you his report later." Starlight said. "But in the meantime, I'm going to have to wish you'd forgive me. And, if you would, take me back into the school."
"Give us one good reason." Flash Sentry said.
"I'll give you two," Starlight replied, "Sunset Shimmer and Discord."
Discord and Sunset both widened their eyes. They looked at the others and started to consider their decision.
"All right." Principal Celestia said. "I will... consider reapplying you to this school."
"WHAT?!" everyone shouted.
"Thank you." Starlight said. "I promise, you will not regret this."
"Too late." Discord grunted angrily. "I really hate this day."
"Did I miss something?" Twilight asked.
"I'll explain it to you later." Sunset Shimmer said. "I've got a lot of ground to cover."
