	Rainbow Dash relaxed contently on a cloud.
"Another perfect day" she sighed, smiling, looking up.
Out of nowhere, she felt a warm shock and bolted up. She looked next to her. She was now laying on a gray, wet cloud, instead of a warm and fluffy cloud.
"Hey!" she said. 
She looked below the cloud, and her jaw dropped. 

Discord stood there, waving hello.

"What the hay!?" Rainbow Dash cried.
Discord said with a grin, "Hello, Rainbow CRASH. Remember me?"
"But you-... Stone for-..." Rainbow Dash stuttered in shock, her eyes widening.
She had to warn Princess Celestia! Rainbow Dash leapt off of her dark cloud, and zoomed across Ponyville as fast as lightning.
She thought, "Discord? Here? How?"
There was no time to think. She flapped her wings once more and went in for a landing right in front of Twilight's treehouse, which was standing healthy and tall.
She hit the ground, not breaking her pace, and dashed over to the door.
Rainbow Dash pounded on the door, rapidly.
"Twi! Twi!"
Twilight slowly opened the door curiously.
"Hey Dash, what is it?" she asked, concerned.
"Twilight! You wouldn't believe me if I told you! "
"Well, go on then!" Twilight said, more concerned.
"It's Discord! Discord is back!" Rainbow Dash cried, throwing her hands up.
"Discord?!" Twilight gasped. 
Then, Twilight came to her senses. "Dash, he's turned back to stone. Remember? Me, you, Pinkie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy... We kinda used the Elements of Harmony and turned him to stone for... um... eternity?"
"I know Twi", Rainbow Dash said. "But I just saw him, and he waved hi, and-"
"Hey, wait a second!" Twilight said. "Weren't you just napping on a cloud?"
"Well, yeah, but then he-"
"It was just a dream, Dash! You and I both know Discord isn't gonna be anything more than a statue for quite some time", Twilight explained.
"Twilight, I swear. We have to tell Princess Celestia!" Rainbow Dash became more and more stressed by the minute.
"Dash", Twilight said firmly. "There is no Discord."

"Heya girls!" a voice called from outside.
"What..." Twilight whispered.

Discord stood outside, his large body casting a shadow into the treehouse. He ducked down and entered Twilight's library.
"Discord!" Twilight cried, backing up into defense position. "How did you-"
"Oh, I'm back with the help of a kind little pony! Isn't that great!? Now the chaos can start again!" Discord cackled, doubling over in laughter.
Dash chipped in,"Oh no you don't! We can send Princess Celestia a letter right now to protect the Elements of Harmony! Without them, your plan here is foiled!"
"Oh, silly girl" Discord laughed. "That is only part of the plan! Well, I should be off. People to anger, lives to ruin. Tootle-Loo!"
Discord disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving an empty space where he stood.
"Twilight!" Rainbow Dash said. "Where's Spike!? We need to send a letter to the Princess, right NOW!"
Though still in shock, Twilight replied, "I don't know about that, Dash."
"WHAT!?" Rainbow Dash cried. "He was right there! How do you not believe me!?"
"No, it's not that", Twilight said. "Something tells me he WANTS us to tell Princess Celestia about his return."
"Twilight, I know it's shocking seeing him back here, but it's Discord. We HAVE to tell Princess Celestia."
"No, Dash. When you said that we'd send a letter to Princess Celestia, he said that it was all part of the plan. As though Discord WANTS us to send a letter."
"Twi, I see where you're coming from, but it's Discord. Part of his plan or not, Princess Celestia... HAS to know", Rainbow Dash cried, putting her hoof down.
Twilight sighed. "I guess so. I just think it's a bad idea. Discord, even though he's evil, IS a mastermind."
"Hey, if he IS a mastermind, I just thought of something!" Rainbow Dash proclaimed. "He wouldn't just tell us he wanted us to send the letter. Maybe he told us it was cool to send a letter so we WOULDN'T send the letter."
"Rainbow Dash, you're half right", Twilight replied. "Since Discord is a mastermind, he's probably using reverse psychology. That means we SHOULD send the letter!"
"Alright, it's your call Twilight", Rainbow Dash shrugged. "But I'm gonna go tell everypony else, maybe with Pinkie's help."
Twilight nodded.
"Get on that  letter!" Rainbow Dash called, heading out the door, and taking off into the sunset, most likely heading for Pinkie Pie.

Twilight sighed. She couldn't fully interpret what just happened. "Discord is back, and he's back to cause more chaos. Something tells me he's gonna be more difficult to stop this time."
On that note, Spilke jumped down the stairs. "Twi, what was that?"
"Spike, get a piece of parchment and quill", Twilight responded.  "We have a letter to send."
