We had just crawled out of the lake after our actually unsurvivable fall down one of the many waterfalls hanging below the city of Canterlot. I was kind of upset that Tempest had had something available that could so easily immobilize an alicorn, would've made my whole life easier if I hadn't needed to save Luna, and could've actually dealt with the threat. Well, there was no way I could deal with the threat my own way now, I was going to have to find help, from, what did Celestia say? The Hippo Queen? How Odd.
After having a nice heart to heart with my friends, we decided it would be best to go on our way, and find help to save Equestria. We were just starting, and it seemed that Pinkie really wanted to play some I Spy. Though, most of us did not, judging by our groans of exasperation. Fluttershy quietly made her way up next to me, "Uh-Um Twilight?"
"Yes, Fluttershy?"
"Well I-I just thought that maybe instead of going on a long unnecessary adventure, that for convenience will probably start making you upset with us, you might consider asking Discord for help? I know you all don't like him very much, but he can be surprisingly helpful when he wants to be."
My eyes widened in surprise, how had I not thought of that before? I mean, he wasn't right here waiting, but usually he just appeared when some one said his name or in a time when you were least likely to want him to be there. "Fluttershy! You're a genius! I don't know how I didn't think of that before. Good thing it's usually not hard to get him here. Why don't you do the honors Fluttershy?"
"Oh, okay. Um, Discord? Could you please come here?"
Suddenly the named Draconequus appeared in a flash of light, his arms and legs spread wide in a fantastical display. "You rang?" he asked, as he snapped his fingers and suddenly there was a door in front of him with a doorbell on it. The sound of doorbell sounding off behind it.
I decided now was a time as good as any to ask for Discord's help. "Yes, Discord, yes we did. We were just on our way to save Equestria when we realized that you would be a much bigger help than any other friends we might find. Could you come with us to Canterlot and make everything conveniently easy for us to take back the capital?"
"Well since you decided to ask so nicely! As well as remembering just how amazing I am! I would be honored!"
And so our heroes didn't take several hours to find a solution to their problem, and instead were able to take back Equestria quite easily. They even had the Friendship Festival on time.
