Dusk Shine now walked down the streets of Ponyville alone. Elusive assured Dusk the suit would be ready for tonight and he could come by and pick it up later. Part of him wanted to just go back home and finish up with his work for the day. He had several plans he needed planned and after that he had some study schedule studying scheduled. Still though, he wanted to prove he could meet a girl on his own.

Although he disagreed with his methods, Dusk had to agree that Biltz had given him good advice. He walked down the road to Bubble Berry's house, maybe he could impart some wisdom about attracting attention from the opposite sex. If there was one thing Bubble was good at, it was standing out even amongst a crowd. Dusk decided he'd go see Bubble, Butterscotch and Applebuck to get all the preparation he could.

The ground began to feel hot under his hooves. In fact, the air began to feel hot as well. Dusk was almost sweating now. He looked down at the road and noticed his shadow looked strange, smaller. It was still morning, he should've been casting a longer shadow based on his position. He looked up over his head to see somepony had positioned a sunlamp directly over him. Using his magic, he pushed the lamp's head away from him.

"What's the matter Dusk Shine? Girls love a guy with a tan," a voice spoke to him. He looked around. Dusk was completely alone on the street. The voice was familiar, too familiar. That plus the random sunlamp appearing out nowhere and following him could mean only one thing.

"Disarray," Dusk said in a stern tone. "What do you want? I thought you were in Gallopolis with Lord Solaris."

The sunlamp behind him shook suddenly. Dusk turned around to face the object as it turned into the shape of a female draconequus Dusk Shine and his friends knew all too well.

"What? I'm not allowed to get out and stretch my legs once in a while?" Disarray asked, twisting her limbs in an elastic fashion around her entire body before letting loose and spinning like a top. The draconequus called Disarray was supposedly a 'reformed' entity of chaos, she and Dusk Shine's friends had fought with long ago. Recently though, she had pledged that she would use her chaotic powers for good. But Dusk Shine was reasonably skeptical.

"What are you doing here Disarray?" Dusk asked, wary of former fiend's intentions.

"Oh, I was just in town to drop my son Pop Fly off to school. Couldn't help but overhear your little argument with Rainbow Blitz."

Dusk Shine turned away and started walking again. "It's nothing."

The former fiend laughed. "Nothing? Now Dusk, I think I know a little dissent when I detect it, being a being of pure chaos and whatnot."

Dusk looked over his shoulder at the creature. "So you can tell whenever somepony's arguing now? Is that supposed to be canon or something?"

Disarray shrugged. "How should I know? But I do know a little thing or two about chaos and let me tell you, a little leads to more."

"There wasn't anything I could do. Blitz was being impossible, all these rules and he was being annoying," Dusk explained.

"Hmm," Disarray put a claw to her chin. "He does have a little more experience than you. Well, a lot more."

Dusk's gaze lowered as he walked. "Experience is something that will... just come with time. I'll experience it... eventually."

A sly grin spread over Disarray's face as she hovered in front of the colt. "You don't have any experience do you?"

Dusk shine frowned at her. "Can't you go bother Butterscotch or somepony else?"

"Ahahaha!" Disarray laughed. "No time for the ladies eh Shiny? Poor little virgin Dusk Shine. Always studying, never had time for a marefriend. You've never even been kissed have you?"

The purple colt's face began to show a hint of bright red.

"You know... that's something I can fix right now," Disarray hinted. She snapped her talon and a ruby-red lipstick appeared and applied itself to the fiend's lips as she puckered comically.

Dusk stopped in his tracks. "Uh... no. Just... no."

"What's the matter? Not interested in older broads? I may be over a thousand but I've still got it where it counts, honey!"

Dusk started backing up in sheer terror. "Stay away from me. Don't make me get the Prosperity Components and set you back to stone again!"

The villainous vixen grinned. "I'm sure Rainbow Blitz would love to help out, especially after the two of you said you didn't need each other. I'm sure Barbs would love to reprise her role as the new Rainbow Blitz again."

"Did you have something to do with this?" Dusk asked, horrified. "With how everypony's been acting?" Would the Components still work with them fighting like this? This all seemed way too convenient. What was Disarray up to? Is it possible she was responsible for what was happening?

Disarray took a step forward. "Dusky, you talk way too much. Now come over here and give Miss Dis a big wet kiss."

Dusk turned around and bolted in the opposite direction, scared out of his wits. Instead of heading for Bubble Berry's in town or Butterscotch's cottage near the Everyway Woods, he kept running to the outskirts of town, following the road that led to Sweet Apple Orchards.
