The Switch

Canterlot At Three

Celestia teleported right into the throne room. The guards just stared at her where had she been all day? They needed her earlier. “Celestia!" They shouted in unison causing the throne doors to be thrown open so more guards could gather

“Worry not!" Discord said from his temporary throne "I will talk to ‘Discord’ myself!" He said flying down meeting Celestia halfway.

“It is I, lord of chaos, I am tired of your orderly ways. I will take over Equestria." Celestia announced to the room waving her hooves in the air wildly.

The devastated looks on all the guards cause them all to hitch their breath in sink. Their faces saying 'what the hell did we just witness' and ‘why, why is this happening?’

“You will rue the day you messed with me, the lord of chaos," she said lifting into the air. "Fear me!" She shouted, a little too high on all the fun she was having. She broke all the windows, and lite herself and the curtains up into flames,

Discord hid a smirk, she was having fun being him. They would have to do this again! "Not under my watch, I'll just have to call the elements you had your chance. You had many!" Discord looked up towards Celestia, "I am disappointed in you, Discord." He said holding his breath trying not to quake from laughter.

"Call them, do it. CHUMP!" Celestia yelled.

Discord snapped a letter out of thin air and started dictating it " Dear Twilight my loyal student.." he trailed off forcing his laughs down. "It is unfortunate news but Discord has betrayed us for the last time. Come immediately. Truly yours' Celestia." He said signing her name perfectly.

The three of them had their cheeks puffed out red in the face. They looked ridiculous and all the guards could do was play along in the hope's they would still have a job after all this. Suddenly there was a distinct teleporting sound. Fluttershy was going to tell twilight what was happening but they all got the summon just before she could explain. The main six arrived and most of them were confused. All but Pinkie Pie, who knew exactly what was happening. They looked around noticing broken glass, curtains on fire, Celestia on fire, and three entities before them. They looked to be holding back laughter.

“That's my cue." Discord said, turning towards twilight. "TWILIGHT," He said with a squeak to conceal laughter and put his paw on her. "Twilight. Discord has betrayed us once again you have to turn him to stone." He said pointing a claw to a burning Celestia, "I know it's hard but you have to do the right thing." He managed to choke out.

Twilight gaped in awe at the scene unfolding before her. "Um Discord.." she began but she was interrupted.

“I'm up here. I will rain chaos down upon you. You shall never know order again. In fact, I love chaos so much ima bang it!" She said humping the air in a lewd manner.

Twilight watched in abject horror as Celestia banged the air and Discord crumpled into the ground. Tears forming in his eyes from the strain of not laughing. What the hell was happening here, was the question that ran through the main six's heads.

Discord looked back up from the ground "of course you would you’re nothing but...A MONSTER." He managed to squeak out.

Luna was quaking and tears fell from her eyes from not laughing, but it ended up working in her favor. "I'm so disappointed in you Discord," she said, pointing a hoof up at her own sister. "I thought we could finally trust you."

“You can't trust a lean mean chaos fucking machine now, can you?" Celestia said, Luna and Discord looked up at her from the floor pretty much crying, their stomachs started to hurt badly from all the contained laughter.

“No. You definitely can't!" Luna squeaked out as she looked over at Discord who was trying his best to compose himself

"I'll just have to turn you into stone myself!" Discord said now looking over at the main six, "you were his friend so I wouldn't dare burden you with this task." he said as he produced some light and smoke.

Celestia quickly went into position, freezing in place a horrified expression on her face. The smoke cleared from the main six eyes. They watch the scene in front of them unfold. I mean what were they supposed to do?

Discord turned to Twilight "I'm so sorry about Discord, Twilight. But as a princess.." he trailed off coughing off some laughs. "You have to make hard decisions. You should bear this in mind." He managed to say quaking in place, "being ruler means making hard decisions one day he’ll see what friendship really is and grow to love it...take it from your old mentor." He squeaked out the rest of his sentence. Luna could be seen breathing deeply to calm herself down but Celestia kept herself together just fine.

The plan from here was for Celestia to stay stone and when night fell and morning rose. Everything would go back to what it was yesterday. To claim that they were themselves the whole time and Discord was back to being good. But see what they hadn't planned on was Luna. She had fun making chaos in those meetings with Discord and she wanted to win the extra bet they made earlier. See if she was the last to break character they’d have to serve her every whim. She took a breath and composed herself. “And now I will make a hard decision today.”

Discord looked over to her “Oh?” He went along with it of course. Whatever she had planned was bound to be interesting.

Luna took Discords claw in her hoof and with a deep breath, she pulled her act together. “Celestia I think we should tell everypony.”

“Tell them what sis-”

“Lover, I am your lover, from the same mother.” She flew up into the air a tiny bit. “We should grab your daughter the one you had out of wedlock with Sombra and run away together.”

Discord jaw dropped and he dug his claws into his sides, he was in pain. He wanted to laugh so badly. This was unexpected; he could see the anger start to rise in Celestia's face. She always had a bad time controlling her temper, then he realized just what Luna was doing. “Oh, that? Well, I guess it is time they all knew. I'm sure every creature already knew.” Discord choked out. He could see Celestia getting angrier by the second which only made him want to laugh harder “there's a cabin in the woods we could retire to...”

“We just have to remember what they say, it will be our anthem, our oath, our motivation to move forward. It will remind us of our love for one another, ” Luna drew in a slow breath. She would win, she knew it, but it would be at a cost.

“Oh? What do they say? I have forgotten.” Discord said knowing whatever Luna had planned to say would get them both to crack. He could not wait to find out what it was.

Luna took a few moments to compose herself and in all seriousness. She spoke, “incest is wincest.”

All hell broke loose as Celestia, the real one, started yelling at her sister “WHY? WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?” She screamed.

Discord crumpled into a ball on the floor he was practically sob-laughing. It sounded like he was choking. “I ….can’t….i can’t…..can’t….believe!” He choked out between bouts of painful laughter. This was not the direction he expected this story to go, but it did.

Luna looked down at the fallen Discord and Celestia; she had won the battle and the war. “I believe this means I won since both of you cracked.”

A blush came to Celestia's face as she realized what Luna planned “at what cost?” She glared at her sister.

Luna smiled at her very angry sister, and she said, “you never said it HAD to be laughter to break you both!”

“What in the hay just happened?" Applejack asked the question that was burning on everyone's minds.

Celestia managed to calm down just enough to explain. "The plan was simple. I excused you, Twilight, from duty so this could happen. Then Discord and I switched places without switching appearances. We just told people we were each other. Discord did some of my duties, I caused chaos and had tea with Fluttershy. Then I took over Equestria and then I got turned into stone." She said as she put the fires out and fixed the windows, she didn’t leave behind a single trace. "I wanted to cause a little chaos before I left."

“More than just a little I say, you actually tried. You can be me any day you wish!" Discord said with a snort. With Fluttershy's help he was able to calm down.

“I did not break character which means I won. The two of them have to serve my every whim for the next two weeks. It was an extra bonus bet we had going on.” Luna grinned with pride.

“We should do this every week!” Discord said excitedly.

“Then I say we gather to form a plan and take over Equestria again, that'll be my first whim. To plan for this again!” Luna hopped up and down happily. That statement caused the main sixs' eyes to roll in their heads. Would this become a thing?

Discord smiled “I can NOT wait.”
