Discord's chamber...

"Now, I will say it again, give me the sun and I will set you free." Discord giggled insanely.
"What sonny, son, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, Sun, Sun, Sun, SUN?!"  He kept repeating the the words. Chrysalis sighed.
"What will it take you to gain back your sanity?" She groaned. Discord guffawed and fell over on his back.
"Sanity, sonity, sanity, Sanity, SANITY! I hate that word." He chuckled. "What fun is there is making sense, making sanity, Sanity, sanity, sanity, Sanity, Sanity, SANITY!" He cackled. "Why not you give me some chocolate milk, milk, milk- HAHAHA! Milk, milk, moo, mow, cow, coward, coward, coward, coward, Coward, Coward, Coward, COWARD! I AM NOT A COWARD!! Coward, coward, COWARD!"
"SHUT UP!" Chrysalis screeched. 
"Sanity, sonity, son, sun, Sun, SUN!" He screamed forming the sun in his hands. Chrysalis's eyes widened.	
"Yes, yes! Sanity sonity, Sun! give me that sun! Sun, fun." Chrysalis cackled with him. When Discord was done with making his sun his eyes were bulging and dark yellow. He let go of it and it bounced into Chrysalis's hooves. Before she took a bite she paused, what would the sun taste like? Did it matter? It might kill her. Discord grabbed it out her hooves and pushed it into nothingness with his paws. Voices swarmed in Chrysalis's brain. "Shut up, Shut up, SHUT UP!!" She grabbed her head.
"Hahaha! Sun, sun, sun, Sun, Sun, Sun, SUN, SUN, SUNSUUUUUUUUUUNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Present...

Twilight stared at the pond in front of her. Was it really there? Was this a dream, was she actually sleeping in Zecora's den? No, she was sure this was real. She took a breath, she wasn't sure if she should do this.
"Into her own reflection she stared, yearning for one whose reflection she shared, and solemnly sweared not to be scared at the prospect of being doubly mared." Twilight hoped those were the right words. She walk into the water and she felt like she was being ripped open and turned inside out, while being split in two. It was oddly calming and she felt like she was being boiled alive and frozen to death at the same time, it felt...good. She pulled her reflection out. Reflection Twilight shook water off her head and looked up.
"Whoa." They said at the same time. "Are you...me?" They said in unison.
"You go first." Twilight said.
"No princess, you go first." Her reflection Twilight said. Twilight frowned, this was harder than she thought. "How about you fill me in." She suggested. Twilight nodded.
"Okay, Celestia's dead. The sun is gone, Equestria is dark and it's been like that for one thousand years." Twilight felt her voice start to give, it was all too much to handle. "Queen Chrysalis now controls the world, Cadance is...dead, Luna's captured. I-" Twilight broke down sobbing.
"There, there." Reflection Twilight said shakily trying to calm them both down. R-Twilight took a breath. "Send me back."
"What?!" Twilight looked up.
"Send me back, I'm no use."
"Yes, you are!" Twilight argued. Why was she arguing with herself?
"Send me back or...Or I-I'll send y-you back." She threatened lighting her horn up. It was clear she was lying. Twilight reluctantly powered up her own horn and sent her back. She had used so much of her magic she was exhausted and she collapsed on the cave floor and fell asleep.
