Rainbow Dash writes a novel and challenges Twilight to proofread it. Twilight accepts the challenge and gets to work. Unfortunately, Twilight is met with a piece of literature so terrible, that she can't even find the heart to tell Rainbow Dash how terrible it is. What will be the outcome of this short adventure?

Please note that the comedy in this story is a bit bland, due to the fact that it wasn't supposed to be a comedy when I first began writing (I know right?). This is just a stupid idea I had one night. It's one of those one-shot stories. Make it happen, people!

After ascending to Princesshood, Twilight decides that it's time to really take the notion of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body" to heart. She has the "Sound Mind" bit down (mostly), but years of sitting inside hunched over a book has given her quite a bit of ground to make up on the "Sound Body" front.

Fortunately, she has an athletic friend to help her out.

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.

When Applejack tries bacon at a feast held by wolves, she starts to crave it. What Applejack doesn't know is that bacon is, well, not a plant. But really, let's admit it. Once you've gone bacon, there's no going back.

Researching the history of Discord's time as ruler of the land, Twilight comes across something strange that piques her interest. Looking further into it, she discovers a piece of information that changes the dynamic of not only her own, but everypony's relationship with the mysterious draconequus.

Discord is utterly bemused by the apparent turn of events. Why in Equestria is everyone suddenly being so nice to him?
