The spirit of chaos is playing around in here, and expects me to believe his threats? He hasn't even made any demands yet... Princess Celestia thought, her eyes following a sworn enemy.

He showed up minutes ago, chanting about how they are in his playing field now.

"Oh, princesses. Or is it it Princi? You never really ask because there is hardly ever two princesses to address." Discord pranced about the royal Canterlot throne room as if he were a priveleged pony allowed to see it for the first time. The draconequus slid across the polished floor, using it as his ice-rink.

Celestia stood at the ready, protecting her throne as a symbol for her title. Her sister, Luna, was standing guard at the chamber doors. The princess of day spoke with such elegance, it almost made Discord gag. "Discord! We've defeated you before! Don't you think you should just give up?"

"Hmm..." He began counting on his fingers, and when he ran out, more digits appeared. He brought up his left hand and furrowed his brow before opening his mouth and whispering to himself ", and carry the moose... But that conflicts with the parade of candy apple squirrels." 

Discord stopped and stared at his hand that had one-too-many fingers. He quickly fainted but was right back up, removing the extra appendages and throwing them to the side, only to go up in flames. "You see deary, one of your great pony novelists may or may not have written an essay in detail about my very answer. No. Oh, but the story about the great pony novelist is also made up."

Luna raised an eye at Celestia, who then turned to face the spirit of chaos with a scowl. Her horn began to glow a bright orange, building up all the powers that the ruler of Equastria held. Luna followed suit. They aimed at Discord- wait, he was just standing right there.

She heard an evil laugh behind her, but it began to sputter and turn into a cough. Celestia turned her head to see Discord pulling a live rat out of his mouth, only to throw it away and explode. "Sorry, hairball. Literally, it was Hairball. That's what I named him, before his unfortunate accident." 

Celestia growled at him, but he was not fazed. His eyes grew wide and face morphed into a drooling grin as he slithered up to the princess. "DID I EVER TELL YOU HOW YOUR MANE IS," he stopped to clear his voice, and with sing-song ", EXQUISITE?" He reached an arm up to her horn and with little effort, pulled it right off as if it was a gag toy.

Then he swirled it into her hair and yanked it off, forming a cotton candy cone. But Celestia didn't feel anything. The draconequus ate it in one large bite before snapping his fingers, and her head was returned to normal. The alicorn was mortified - not because she feared Discord, but his antics were childish and downright 
impossible. 

"Uhh, Luna?" She leaned over past the spirit of chaos, who was busy chewing his fingers, to see Luna looking at herself in a corner of mirrors, no doubt placed there by Discord to distract her sister.

The real Luna turned her head, half to the side in a what-do-you-want position, and screamed ", THE PRINCESS HAD BEEN DOUBLED!"
