Not so Friendly Prank

Be ready on time

"Look Discord, I know you are the one who did that joke, alright? So how about you just admit it now."

"Who, me?" Discord raised his eyebrows in confusion to what Twilight was asking him. "I have noooo idea what you are talking about."

"Don't play dumb..." Twilight grunted as she sat down on the ground. "Only you would be crazy enough to let pigs loose in the castle like that. Do you know how long it took me to clean that grease off?"

"Oh now why don't you just calm yourself little Sparkle." Discord vanished in a flash before reappearing as a bag of ice. "Here, why don't you cool yourself off."

Twilight glared at the smiling ice cubes as she stood back up and walked past him. "I swear, I still don't know why the princess wanted you reformed in the first place."

Discord turned back into his normal self and floated alongside the young alicorn. "Well, the princess of course needed my grrrrreat expertise in architecture and craftsmanship that I have-

"What the hay are you talking about? All you do is make everything crazy."

Frowning, Discord transformed into a perfectly designed replica of Canterlot Castle. "Now Twilight, are you going to tell me that this isn't wonderful?"

Twilight did have to admit, this was a beautiful representation of the entire palace. Every detail of the arches, the coloring, everything was perfect to what the real one was. "Okay, this is nice. But that doesn't answer my-

BOOOM!

Twilight screamed out as the entire top of the castle exploded in a miniature fireworks display. Sparks and streamers shot out in all directions throughout the hallway, setting off a chain reaction of blasts. Twilight ducked as one shot right above her head, just grazing the top of her hair. "What the hay is wrong with you!?"

"Oh, did I forget to mention that I still love to add special designs to things?" Discord laughed as he shifted back to himself. "Come now Twilight, I was reformed simply so that I am not allowed to do as I please."

"Wait, what?" Twilight sat back in surprise to what he said. "You mean you don't really do anything else besides just relax? But... Princess Celestia mentioned how you could be used for good and stuff."

"Well, we did try that once. Apparently it wasn't what she wanted."

"What did you do that she didn't like?"

"Meh, I offered my service to Cloudsdale to increase their living space, but they were too picky and didn't want cotton candy instead of clouds."

"Twilight frowned up at him. "Well maybe because they can't just live in-

"Or I when I was told to help move the local diamond dogs away. I offered to do that by giving them good digging equipment so they could build a new home. How was I supposed to know they would use it to tunnel into half the jewel stores in Equestria?"

"Wait, how was that even you using your magic and-

"And what about the dreadful time when-

"I honestly don't care anymore..." Twilight stated, perhaps a little more harsh than she expected. "I can see that she may not have a perfect job at the moment. "I just don't want to hear every time she tried to have you do something. My question is if you aren't using your magic for good, I'm surprised you haven't gone back to using it for... Anything."

"Well if I were to do that, you know that I wouldn't hear the end of it." Discord crossed his arms and pouted. "Little Fluttershy still makes me remember every little thing."

"Anyways, I want you to just remind you to not do that anymore, please?" Twilight sighed as she came to the room she was staying in. "I have to get ready now. Cadance is coming later and I want to be ready for when she gets here."

Twilight turned the handle of her door and pushed it open, only for it to get stuck against something a few inches in. "What the heck?"

She tried pushing it a few more times, still pushing against something. Grunting, she gave it a quick shove with her shoulder, smacking the object hard enough to send it rolling across the room.

An screeching.

"Oh my gosh!" Twilight's eyes widened in fear. "That was somepony in the way!" Running inside, she turned to the direction the door pushed the poor pony. "I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were-

REEE! REEEE!'

The screaming pig launched through the air and plowed into Twilight's body, sending the petrified princess back out of her room. "WHAT THE BUCK!?"

The pig quickly crawled off of her chest and ran down through the hallway of the castle, it's hooves scraping across the tile as it went. Twilight flipped up to her hooves and glared at Discord. "What in Tartarus is that thing doing in my room!?"

"Well I was going to tell you I still had to return those to Applejack, but you were soooo rude and cut me off in my talking." Discord summoned a glass of cider and sipped at it with a smile. "And I thought you liked me."

Before Twilight could say anything, the sick crawling sensation of something on her chest made her look down. To her disgust, her entire coat was bathed in the anti magic grease once again, a few globs sliding down her legs. "Th-those things... Are covered in this still... In. My. Room."

Looking into her chambers, Twilight's mouth dropped to the tile as she looked at the other pig sleeping on top of her bed, it's butt set right on the dress she was wearing for the dinner tonight.

"Discord, I swear to Faust herself that when I get you, I'm gonna-

The sound of a magic flash caught Twilight's attention, making her look to see a single page floating to the ground.

"Just so you know... The dinner is in forty five minutes. It would be a shame you weren't there on time."
