It was a sunny day around Ponyville,the birds were chirping and a smell of a fresh baked cake smelled across the little town. At the castle of friendship, Princess Twilight Sparkle was having breakfast together with her pupil Starlight and her baby dragon assistant Spike. “So did you all slept well last night?”Twilight questioned. “Well enough,” Starlight replied. “Mehh as usual,” Spike murmured “I just want to have my breakfast with peace and silence!”Spike continued as he grabbed an apple from a nearby basket and started biting the fruit slowly”Sooo what friendship lesson do you two have today?” “Oh we don’t have any friendship lessons for today,we decided to have a day off!”Twilight answered with a smile on her face. “Besides today the princesses will be here to join us for tea,”Starlight added. “So when are they coming we said?” Spike asked. “Oh in 6 hours from now,”Twilight exclaimed.With her magic she made a notebook appear from mid-air”I have been ready for this since last week,I have everything in here;their time arrival,the food that we’ll serve even the tea flavour!”Twilight said with a tone of excitement in her voice. “Wow Twilight not creepy at all!” Spike ironically said. “Hey! Not my fault that I want things to be organised!”Twilight defended. “Yeah always the organised one,” “I heard that!” “You always hear everything!” “Pft like you don’t!” “Alright let’s calm down. Besides the girls will come to join us too”-Starlight blurted-”So let’s enjoy our breakfast before the princesses and the girls come,am I right?” “Yes you’re right!”Spike said. “Indeed,” Soon they all were eating their breakfast again Spike asked; ”Twilight can you give me the apple juice?” “Sure!” With her magic aura glowing from her horn she lifted the apple juice to Spike. “Thanks,” Later somewhere in the evening “Well thanks for coming princesses,girls,I was hoping to spend some time together without Equestria been threatened by anything,so any news from The Changeling Kingdom Princesses?”Twilight said. “Oh the changelings are well adjusting to their new ways,”Luna answered. “And they are rebuilding their homes,Thorax and we are having positive feelings about the future!”Celestia completed. “SO everything is great,yay!” Pinkie screamed. “Well I wanted to tell you something that caught my eye lately"-She pauses -"and it is about Discord”Twilight said. “Sure Twi,” Applejack answered. “Go ahead,” Rainbow Dash completed. They all nodded in agreement. “Well I noticed that the past few weeks Discord’s been acting all weird I mean more weird than he usually is!” “Oh I hope that he is not changing himself again!” Fluttershy said with a worried tone. “No he is still his normal not so normal self that we all know, it's just that two days ago when Discord came to show me how to do a spell that I couldn’t cast myself he was so quiet,more than usual and he didn’t even smiled or anything,he seemed like he was deep in thought or anything like that,and he also did not joked about me failing the spell like 4 times!”Twilight continued. “Wow Discord NOT making fun of you for failing a spell and not talking!Well I had to see it myself that day.Darn it!”Spike said. “That doesn’t sound like Discord darling for not talking much and being deep in thought he’s never been like that before,as much as I remember”Rarity said. “Yeah,Discord is never deep in thought and without a smile or a smirk.Never!” Rainbow Dash continued. “If Discord was like that then”-Fluttershy paused and thought for a moment-"Then it must be serious!" “This is what I thought when…. Two days ago in Twilight’s castle Twilight had noticed that a certain master of Chaos didn’t talk a lot or even smiled when she finally concentrated of what he had said to her in order to do a spell. “Remember Twilight don’t let your magic be weak or the spell won't be strong enough but also don’t push yourself  too hard or the spell will go out of control”Discord continued “If you feel tired by casting the spell then tell me and cancel the spell immediately, got it?” “Yes got it,” Twilight said. As she cast the spell she felt from the first few seconds a bit of exhaustion but she insisted to continue,after all she did failed 3 times already and she was determined to cast this spell. Then after other seconds past she felt really tired. ”I..I am getting a bit tired..” Discord saw Twilight’s tired but determined expression,he sighed and said; ”Twilight stop” She stopped. ”How do you feel?”he asked. “Ohh I think I have a headache or anything..Ouch,” “Here wait,” and then; {SNAP} The sound of his eagle claw snapping. “Feeling better?” “Yes a bit,”She paused ”Darn it 4th time in a row!” “It’s alright Twilight,no one can get this spell from the first try..not even me,”Discord said with a bit of embarrassment “I wasn’t skilled at magic first myself!” Twilight looked at him with a little shock. “Really you the genius master of Chaos,you weren't first skilled at magic?Wow that’s a shock!”Twilight said ironically. “Touche,”He said with an unpleasant face. “Well,I don’t understand I did the spell as the book said exactly!” Twilight said. “Hmm let me see it,” He asked. She floated the book to him. “Hmm blah blah blah oooohh well now I see the problem!” He took his reading glasses and a quill and started writing something in the book. “It’s Lutenia curriculum not Luticia siricus ehh those writer’s always confuse those two”he made the quill and the glasses disappear ”Here”he gave the book to her. “Hmm, hope that you didn’t sabotage the spell?”She looked at him with a suspicious look. “Have my word-"He raised his paw and hold his eagle like arm in his chest. ”-Now try it already!”he said. “Well, here goes nothing,”She said. And with a spark of magic her horn lit up and she could finally do the spell; She made an abomination of the whole galaxy and added various stars and comets as she wished during the spell. “Well good job there princess of friendship,” He smiled a bit,his eyes were like he remembered some old memory and then they were like they were holding back tears. She looked at him with a frown,she knew something big troubled him. Then she stopped the spell and looked at him with a worried look. “Discord..Are you alright?”She asked. “Emm,yes Twilight..Everything is alright...Why asking?”He said with an uneasy look. “Well...You haven’t been talkative today, almost as you weren’t here! Are you sure you’re alright?You know you can tell me," He sighted at her,he took a deep breath and then let go. “Yes nothing to worry about me,everything’s perfect,”He said with a forced smile. “If you say so ..Thank’s for coming and helping me do that spell by the way I wouldn’t manage it without that correction." She then walked him to the door of the library. “Sure anytime,the least that I can do after what you have done for me...Now I must go, see you soon!” He waved at her and then he raised his eagle claw for a snap, but he regretted and lowered his eagle like arm with a bigger frown. “Twilight might if I ask something?”He questioned. “Emm sure,” He assured him”Go ahead!" “Do you emm remember about the time when your brother didn’t believe you about Cadence not being Cadence,when you think about it how do you feel really?”He asked. “Well weird of you to ask but to be honest I don’t blame him or the others for not believing me back then, I just feel a little bad about him not listening to me and what could have been avoided.But why are you asking?”She looked at him with a curious look. “Just asking,curiosity that’s all,well bye for now!”He snapped his lion paw and in a spark of magic he disappeared. Present “Well that’s weird and I thought I am the weird one,huh!” Pinkie Pie said and then she ate a cupcake that was near her with a gulp. “Yeah totally weird Pinkie,” said Rainbow Dash eyeing her. “I can say that Discord was acting weird that day,more weird than he usually is,the reason might be the same as to why he was acting exactly the same at the tea party me and Celestia had with him one week ago,”Luna said. “Yes in that tea party he was so quiet and didn’t act like his annoying self that he can be,that is what caught my eye the most at that meeting,”Celestia continued. “Soo we all agree that Discord’s been acting weird the past few days and we need to know what’s going on,” Starlight exclaimed. “Starlight has a point he IS the spirit of chaos after all and as the spirit of chaos lies a great responsibility;he controls chaos all across Equestria and beyond he makes sure even when he rests that there isn’t any chaos energy that isn’t under his control,”Luna said with a serious tone in her voice. “Wow,that is a pretty serious job even for him!”Rainbow admits. “He makes sure even right now that there isn’t any chaos energy that is affecting nature and makes sure that there is enough chaos that  life needs so that it can grown into something biter or sweeter in the future of every one of us.So we need to know what’s going on with him or else there might be some interesting consequences,” Celestia added. “Wow I didn’t see it from that perspective!”Twilight said with a worried look. “So what are we going to do to find out what’s goin on with him?”Applejack asked. “Well we could simply ask without bothering him a lot?”Fluttershy suggested. “Yeah right, Discord can be a tough guy to make him speak but I know how I can make him speak without breaking a sweat!”Rainbow Dash said. “And how are you going to do that?”Twilight asked with an annoying tone. “You’ll see, AJ’s familiar with the technique anyways.And Pinkie,”She said with a devilish smile. “Oh oh!Should we be worrying about the ‘technique’ that she will use against him?” Rarity asked Twilight with a worried look. “Hope not,” “So should we continue our tea and discuss what we will do with Discord tomorrow?”Spike said and then took a sip of his tea. “Spike’s right let’s continue this tea partyyyy!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed and then out of nowhere she pulled her party cannon and made confetti burst from it. “Yeahh better continue it,”Twilight said with a look that clearly said: What  is she?
