The armies of the the free world — from the Myrmidons of Minos to the Border Guard of Equestria — unite to free the deer nation Nainuoc from a tyrant and destroy his secret doomsday devices.

Critics see a quagmire, cooked up on flimsy pretenses. Supporters see a just war of liberation, for the safety of the world.

Gilda and Trixie see comically large sums of money, drifting softly into their clutches.

After a long day of adventuring, Daring Do decides to try something new.

Bored one evening, Discord suggests to Celestia that they spice things up by seeing who's best at doing the other's job: he'll handle keeping things harmonious, and she'll be there to throw a big ol' spoonful of chaos into the mix whenever she feels like it. To his surprise, she agrees to do it. He's certain he's got this one in the bag—after all, how hard can something as boring as harmony be?

He shouldn't have underestimated his opponent.

Rarity has never been quite right, but has anypony? Opal was never quite sure what to think of them. Ponies were weird, and that's just how it was. Nothing they ever did made sense, their games were dreadfully pointless, bathing was absolutely insane, and everything they did was annoying. What else was there to say? Ponies were just plain weird.

So why was Rarity acting so weird?
