The Abrupt Disappearance Of Twilight's Castle

On an average day in Ponyville, Twilight was walking around the marketplace. As per usual, Ponies argued on whether 3 carrots costed 1 bit or two bits. As she walked, Twilight felt funny.

Was she forgetting something?

and then it clicked.

"OH NO!! I FORGOT TO BRING SPIKE!" Twilight ran off to her castle.

Strange enough, It wasn't where she left it.. there had simply only left a shadow where it used to lie. Twilight realized that she had left Spike in there.

Twilight, fearing the worst, cried out "NOOOO!! SPIIIKKEE.." immediately after, a rustle was heard in the tree behind hee.

Who was that? Sure enough, It was good ol' Spike the Dragon! Though besides a few leaves and branches on him, he looked fine.

"Oh, Spike! You're okay.. Thank Celestia!" Twilight hugged him and looked relieved.

"Uh, yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Spike stared at her, confused? Twilight didn't know what to make of it.

"Spike, do you know what happened to our home??" Twilight eyed him up and down; she was looking for answers.

Spike tried his best to recall what happened in that short time frame. "Uuhh.. Well.. Twilight, our home grew legs and started walking away!"

Twilight grew wide eyes. Her shock turned into anger. "DIISSCOOOORRRDDD!!!"

Panning over to Discord, who was currently sitting in Twilight's chair by the map table. He was drinking tea with Fluttershy.

"So, um, Discord, are you sure you're not hurting anypony's feelings?.. I don't think it'd be very nice if someone walked up to where you live and started terrorizing your town!"

Discord clicked his tongue "Oh, hush, hush, Fluttershy. I'm doing Twilight a huge favor. Her house needed to be.. relocated, anyways."

Fluttershy looked out the window and sadly watched as Twilight's castle, which had grown arm and legs, was destroying Ponyville. She had tried making puppy dog faces at Discord, hoping he'll cave in and stop this, but Discord did nothing.

Twilight took the hot air balloon and flew over to Canterlot. She HAD to inform the Princesses about this!

The air had started picking up, which only worsened the labor it was to steer that thing.. after each few seconds, the wind gradually got worse and worse until Twilight was holding on for dear life, oddly, once she got to Canterlot, the wind slowed down.

Twilight raced to the Canterlot Castle. She busted open the door and quickly spoke "Princess Celestia, Princess Luna.. Help, Discord is terrorizing Ponyville with my castle!"

Celestia and Luna stared at each other for a moment before processing. "Very well then, Twilight. We shall go after Discord." Luna called as she escorted Twilight, herself, and Princess Celestia to Celestia's carriage.

The horses galloped over in the sky and then came to their destination. Discord. "PLAYTIMES OVER, DISCORD," Celestia yelled in her Canterlot voice. Luna joined in. "TURN OFF THE CHAOS, AND WE MIGHT GIVE YOU MERCY!"

Discord snickered, "What, gonna turn me to stone again?? Oh noo, I'm sooo scared of two egotistical ponies!"

Luna raised an eyebrow, looked to her Sister and nodded. Celestia and Luna both used their alicorn magic to stop this.

Discord was turned to stone(again), Princess Twilight's home was restored, and all was well. Both alicorns rode the carriage back home, and after a little bit of work, Ponyville was back to normal.

Twilight muttered, "this is why I hate Discord."
