I was sowing the 5th dress that day, it usually keep my distracted from my thought but not today, the fact Twilight doesn’t listen to me is still bouncing around in my mind. I turned around at the sound of hoofsteps, Sombra was standing there unarmoured. He frowned “Princess Twilight has an announcement for everypony.”
I sighed today was going to be as long day. We trotted to the town hall to see Twilight standing there. She announced “I will be duelling Trixie Lulamoon in the centre of Ponyville in one week! If you have any questions bring that up with me at the castle.”
I frowned as Twilight teleported away, I said “Sombra, I need to speak with Twilight.”
Sombra smiled “I’ll come with you.”
I nodded and we galloped to Twilight’s Castle, Spike opened the door for us and asked “Twilight’s been non-stop practising magic since she returned.”
I frowned “This is really stupid, a duel with Trixie, this is going to end one of two ways, Twilight wins with ease or Trixie wins with ease.”
Sombra asked confused “How do you know?”
I replied “I did some research on how magic feels and it was closest to a magical transference, so Discord may have given Trixie his power.”
We entered the library to see Twilight practising all kinds of spells. I shouted “Twilight, we need to talk.”
Twilight stopped and asked “Are you going to tell me this is a bad idea?”
I frowned “It depends how powerful is Trixie?”
Twilight sighed “Much stronger than even Discord’s magic somehow, her power would make even Tirek look weak even after he absorbed all that power.”
I frowned “You can’t win this fight.”
Twilight nodded “I know but I’m a princess of Equestria I must ensure peace.”
I sighed “Look, we need to discuss this as a group. We argued last time remember and we made our friends leave with our arguing, we need to apologise to them and sort this mess out.”
Twilight sighed “Your right, this should be something we should discuss together.”
I frowned “Don’t think this fixes everything between us, you treated me like a monster. We are going to need some time to work things out.” I paused and turned around with a smile“Sombra what are you doing behind me, enjoying the view? Well then take me out to dinner sometime.”
I felt my smile widen as he sputtered “Wwww-hat …hhhh-how. ”
I laughed “You were completely silent for way too long.”
Twilight said “I understand but we need to gather our friends.”
The familiar voice of Rainbow Dash came from next to us “Do you really think your friends would leave you hanging Twilight?”
Our friends entered the room smiling, they said “We’re happy to help you.”
Twilight frowned “I am worried about Discord, this whole thing started because of him.”
Fluttershy shook her head as she took a deep breath “Twilight, I am friends with Discord and I trust him. Yes he has hurt us but I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.”
Rainbow said “I’m with Fluttershy, he is fun to be around helping with pranking.”
Pinkie smiled as she bounced “Yeah, we go together like ice-cream and hot sauce, ooh I have to try that.”
Applejack sighed “Me and Discord haven’t interacted enough for me to understand him but we do have an agreement to not mess with each other.”
I smiled “He makes Trixie happy and after all I’ve done to her, she deserves that.”
Sombra frowned “That’s not your fault.”
Rainbow Dash, Applejack jumped “When did he get here?!” Fluttershy just hid behind Rainbow Dash.
Sombra sighed “I’ve been here the whole time, hiding in the shadows.”
I facehooved “Sombra, why do you have to be creepy right now.”
Sombra smiled goofily “Um, bad habits.” I will have to stop him from doing that, he will give poor Fluttershy a heart attack, then again maybe I will too, I look different especially when I use my Nightmare Form or maybe the correct term wouldn’t be Remnant form after all the Nightmare is not longer part of me.
Twilight frowned “So you all trust Discord?’
I frowned “Have you spoken to Celestia or Luna about this.”
Twilight gasped “No, Spike send a letter.”
I facehooved “This is a big castle Twilight, he isn’t always going to be here.” Twilight teleported away. I said “I’m sorry girls for causing an argument.”
Applejack chuckled “I’m glad you did sugarcube, you do have quite a bit of guts.”
She then smiled wickedly “I was worried I’d have to show that Stallion a real strong mare.” My face lit up like a Christmas tree, She laughed “Just teasing.” Rainbow Dash was laughing on the floor like a maniac, Pinkie Pie grinned a me wildly and I saw Fluttershy suppressing a giggle.
I laughed “Fine, you got me but please can we drop it, poor Sombra here is really embarrassed.” I pointed to the bright red glow in the shadows.
Then with a pop an exhausted Twilight was there with Spike. Spike frowned “What’s going on I feel out of the loop.” After we explained everything, Spike was glaring at Twilight “Why didn’t you tell me, after I sent that letter I was told nothing about any of this. I can accept everypony else was busy but you and I live in the castle, I still sleep in your room, how did you forget about me huh? Also you are going up against a pony with the full power of Discord, are you kidding me?”
Twilight asked “Um can you send a letter to the Princesses.”
Spike frowned “I’d better, I can’t have you keeping things from them as well.” Twilight ignoring the comment already was busy writing a letter covering what happened since the last time they saw each other. She gave it to Spike who sent it to Celestia and Luna.
10 minutes later there was knock on the door, Twilight galloped over to reveal two concerned Alicorns and a third exhausted one, Luna was wearing full armour. Cadence frowned “Teleporting down to Ponyville probably wasn’t a good idea.” Celestia and Luna said “Twilight, we need to talk.” Twilight gulped as the 3 Alicorns entered the castle.
