Twilight and her friends sat at the Royal Dining Hall table. They stared in confusion as the chaos unfolded before them. Chrysalis was throwing a fit about how no pony was showing her any affection whatsoever. Discord started a war between the teacups and silverware to, as he put it, 'spice things up.' Solar Flare decided to set fire to Celestia's cup of water, even if that was impossible, it happened. Luna and Nightmare Moon were doodling on a napkin with a quill, sometimes mentioning that something was too stupid to work or saying that this wouldn't work if that did this. Cadence sat next to Shining Armor, and the two stared blankly as the chaos continued. Celestia was busy yelling at Discord about his behavior. 

Having enough of the chaos, Twilight slammed her hooves down on the table, rattling the delicate teacups. "E-nough! Why can't you all act your age?!"

"Oh, act my age? All right-y then, your highness," Discord spat and immediately his skin wrinkled up. "What's that, Dawn? You want me to act out my page? What page?"

After hearing this, Nighty and Luna giggled, but seeing Twilight's unamused expression quickly made them quiet down.

"Just be quiet so we can have a nice, QUIET dinner. Please!" Twilight's words were laced with venom and anger.

The royalty quickly stopped their shenanigans in response to the cruel sounds of her voice. Solly put out the fire that had somehow started on water, and Discord's chaos immediately ceased. Luna and Nighty ate the napkin which probably held notes on how to overthrow Celestia. After all, Celestia might need to take a few sick days and they would be in charge. Chrysalis glared at Twilight with agitation.

"I still need my lovely sustenance," Chrysalis' doubled voice was laced with the same, if not more venom than Twilight's words.

Twilight sighed. "I'm sorry, Chrysalis. You were actually one of the better behaving ones of the bunch."

Chrysalis nodded in appreciation. Cadence and Shining stared at Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship; how could she have so much venom in her voice? Celestia sat down and gave a disapproving glance in Twilight's direction, but let it go after a moment.

"Anyhow, let's take our orders, okay?" Celestia tried to ease the tension.

"Can I go to my room now? I don't exactly eat food." Chrysalis purred in a cat like tone.

Twilight looked to Celestia who looked to Luna who looked to Twilight. They nodded their heads in an agreement of sorts.

"I shall allow it," Celestia stated bluntly.

Chrysalis stood from the pillow she sat on and walked out of the room politely. Soon after, a stallion quickly ran in the room.

"Princess Cadence, Prince Shining Armor, there are problems back in the Crystal Empire! You must come right away!"

The two looked at each other and quickly ran out the door after excusing themselves.

"What is the matter?"

"I can't really tell you, it must be handled by the Princess."

Just as he stated, Cadence reentered. "Twilight, I need you and your friends to come with us, we need your help."

"Why?"

"Sombra is back."

After the eight ponies left, Nighty spoke up. "I've been calling him Sombrero this whole time. Why didn't you guys correct me?!"
