The mane six, the two alicorns, the nurse, and the male draconaquus stared at the female draconaquus looking at them with big, purple eyes. She had her long, curly black hair covering most of her face. She finally spoke.
"C-can you please t-tell me where Spike is?" This was the first time she had spoken since she was brought in a few minutes ago. Twilight stepped forward.
"How do you know who Spike is?" Jasmine lifted her head, moving some of the hair out of her face and revealing that she was blushing. Her eyes dilated.
"I . . . um . . . m-met him. He's n-nice and . . . a dragon." she stopped blushing and caught Discord's stare. He was staring at her alot . . .
"Oh dear . . . do you think SHE's the girl Spike was talking about?" Rarity asked.
"Spike t-talked about me!?" everypony stared at Jasmine. That was the first time she sounded so happy. "I-I thought he w-would forget a-about me."
"Spike!" Twilight called. A purple dragon entered the room and froze. Jasmine waved shyly.
"I thought I would never find you. What happened to you?"
"Broke her wing." Discord said in a bland voice. Spike turned to him, gave him a curt nod, and turned back to Jasmine.
"You never told me your name."
"My name is Jasmine. I-I'm sorry I ran away . . . I was really shy. I hope didn't think I-I didn't like you." There was emphasis on the word 'like' that only Spike caught. Spike blushed.
"Not at all." Only Discord noticed that she was stuttering less.

Discord didn't understand why Jasmine liked Spike so much. He wasn't big on the whole friendship thing but he knew a strong friendship when he saw it. It made him feel so . . . strange. He felt like he just met a long lost friend but he had to compete for her attention with some guy. Except . . . Jasmine wasn't his friend . . . in fact, he barely knew her. So, why was he feeling this way? Discord had these feeling brewing inside him for days. Jasmine's wing healed enough that she could be released from the care of the doctor but she still spent excessive time with Spike. They were inseparable, well, except for when Spike had to leave with the mane six and go back to Ponyville when everything was alright. This was Discord's chance! They were at the train station and getting ready to board the train. He gave Spike a mocking smile and turned to Jasmine.
"Well, I guess now I can spend some time with my own breed, huh? Too bad Spikey Wikey can't stay." Spike glared daggers at him.
"Now, Discord, you shouldn't rub it in Spike's face." Fluttershy said.
"Ya'll know Jazz here can jus' come with us to Ponyville, right?" Applejack sat on her haunches.
"I can!? Oh, thank you. I-I would love to join you and S-spike." Jasmine left Discord's side to go and give Spike a hug. Discord shot Applejack a dirty look.
"You can come along as long you don't cause trouble, Discord." Rarity added. Applejack got up and her and the girls plus Spike got on the train. Discord followed them with a smug look. Spike folded his arms. What is he up to?, he thought.
"We must create some chaos some time, Jazz." Discord said.
"I'm n-not very good with chaotic energy. Y-you can teach me, though." Jasmine fiddled with her tail shyly. He's so weird, she thought, why does he seem so interested in me?

"First, you need to stop stuttering. Spells don't work when you don't say the incantations right."
"But . . ."
"Try to think of something or someone that you think is fearless or something."
"I can't. The only brave p-pony I know that is fearless is my f-father."
"Huh?"
"Not my b-biological father. My real daddy's d-dead."
"Oh. . . sorry. You have to be cool, though. Don't let anything get you down, you know?"
"I-I-I dunno." The two draconaqui kept practicing their chaotic energy together while Spike watched them in the bushes.

Master lay, chained to the farthest wall in the cell. Mind Bender rubbed her burns angrily and glared at him. He glared back.
"Can I talk to you without the guards?"
"Why? So you can attack me again!?"
"No, no sweet heart. I want to tell you what you've wanted to hear." Mind Bender thought for a second.
"Alright. Guards, leave, but stay close."
"Not very trustworthy are we?" The guards left but not without giving full blown glares at Master. Master cleared his throat. "Sorry. I just can't talk with an english accent for long." Mind Bender gasped. Master's voice now had a thick british accent.
"Oh, come now, my good mare. I'm sure you could easily mimic an accent if you tried. My daughter, Jasmine, has an accent too. When she stutters, though, you can't hear it. She's a clever one. A bit too clever but i'll deal with her for obstructing my plans later. As for you, my dear . . . how would you like to be my mare?"
"What!? Never! I thought you said you'd tell me what I wanted to hear!"
"I am, love."
"So, why are you-"
"I want to know if you'll help me kidnap and over throw Celestia."
