Now that Discord's reformed and friends with a princess and her entourage, he's decided it's time to assimilate himself into pony culture. With Nightmare Night coming up, Discord decides to get into the spirit of things by opening a costume shop in Ponyville. His amazing costumes soon become the talk of the town, and Nightmare Night fever is stronger than ever...

...but is Discord about to play the ultimate Nightmare Night prank on an unsuspecting Ponyville?

In the dregs of sleeplessness the princess stirs, thoughts of her old home rising unbidden in her mind. If she is to even hope at any sleep tonight, she must confront what remains of the library and move past the loss. Once there, however, she finds a friend with something on his mind, too.

After getting a taste of his own medicine from Lord Tirek, Discord has decided to take his reformation a bit more seriously. Sure, he has magic and friendship again, but it's clearly not enough to warrant his own throne in Twilight's fancy new castle. In order to earn the coveted throne, he figures that he has to be the best friend he can be.

While scrolling through the Friendship Journal for inspiration and pointers, an epiphany hits him. Since he was reformed, he has never made an honest attempt to make new friends by himself. As the first step on this new journey, he decides to rectify that. And who better to befriend than the other ponies that provided the keys to the chest? It's the perfect plan!

Too bad he doesn't really know what he's doing. Yeah, despite understanding empathy, Discord still has a lot to learn about friendship.

Pinkie Pie creates the perfect treat, but Rarity does not like strawberries.

Seriously, a lot.

(Now with a Spanish translation by the generous SPANIARD KIWI!)

Twilight Sparkle brings her Granny Sparkle in for Family Appreciation Day at Celestia’s school to talk about the origins of the noble houses of Sparkle and Armor.

That's it, the last straw! Discord is done with this! He has had it with these mother-bucking ponies and their mother-bucking harmony! After a particularly bad day of not being allowed to be himself, Discord does what he does best. He finds a loophole and exploits the tartarus out of it. Best of all, he'll get to do whatever he wants, guilt trips from a certain yellow pegasus not included.

Then again, telling nopony one's plans certainly has its perks.

And what is his brilliant plan? He's taking a nap. If that nap just so happens to induce nightmares in those he dislikes and mass insomnia in the others... well, no plan is perfect. Dreams are more chaotic than the waking world anyway.

Story takes place in the undefined time between episodes "Keep Calm and Flutter On" and "Magical Mystery Cure".

Things are hard in Ponyville for Fluttershy and Discord; mainly because of Discord. But when magic starts to go on the fritz and eventually starts failing altogether, it's up to the main six and the Draconequus to find out what's causing it and, more importantly, how to fix it.

This would be a lot easier if anypony trusted the King of Chaos to begin with, but with bigger problems on the horizon, some things will have to wait to be dealt with. Like trust. Or loyalty. Or friendship.

Of course, sometimes what we think isn't important to deal with right now, is exactly what's needed to prevent things from getting far, far worse.

This story is a sequel to Apple Bloom and the Timberwolf

Dinky Doo was excited to get her first pet at the Ponyville Pet Center Benefit Concert. She was so excited, in fact, that she couldn't settle on a name for him. In the end, she decided to give him a bunch of names strung together into one great, long name. This might appear to be a recipe for disaster on the surface, but let's be honest here. When's the last time you had to call for your pet tortoise? Unless your name just so happens to be Rainbow Dash, you shouldn't find yourself in that position too often.

However, strange things tend to happen in Ponyville, and the Fourth Wall Theater Troupe knows this all too well. As such, with Dinky's full cooperation, they have put together this little cautionary tale about the advantages of short names over long names for you all to enjoy this fine day. At least, it's allegedly a cautionary tale. There's no way of knowing for certain when your script is co-written by the Master of Chaos.

As always, funding for this production has been made possible by the Please Prevent Pinkie Pie and Discord From Getting Bored Foundation. To support more of the Fourth Wall Theater Troupe's work, follow the prequel tag above.
