Last time on Dissy and Twily:
“Its a long story my little Ponies. We will speak of it at the crystal empire, we have dinner invitations there tonight,” the sun princess beamed. They all looked to one another and worry spread their faces. What was the princess so reluctant to speak about? And was Twilight really that dangerous?
--------()()()()()---------
Discord looked to Twilight as she put her toys away, and began to unpack other stuff. Including, a case of marbles, whipped topping, ketchup, rope, confetti, a box, scissors, tape, and a picture of herself, filly sized.
------------------------------------------------------------
Twilight hummed as she went about tying rope, taping her picture to the box. Putting whipped topping on the floor, and confetti shortly after the topping. She hummed as she skipped past her handy work, then beamed. Discord took a sharp breath as she went right upto Shining Armor and Cadence she sent a wink his way.
“Shiny! Caddie!” She giggled and they turned.
“Twily!” Shining exclaimed seeing her she pouted looking at him, and sniffled.
“Shiny, huggy!” She went to him nuzzling the stallion
“Twilight how are you a ...a filly?” Cadence asked her in surprise. Twilight just blinked at her.
“I dunno,” She said kicking the dirt with her back hoof.
“Well, at least Celestia and Luna will be arriving shortly.” Cadence said.
“Sunshine Sunshine, lady bugs wake! Cwap your hooves do a wittle shake!” Twilight laughed and Cadence giggled.
“Sunshine sunshine, lady bugs awake, Clap your hooves and do a little shake.” She nuzzled Twilight whom laughed.
“Oooo Shiny!” She ran into the castle she trotted hiding in a room and giggled as they ran by.
“You see,” She said and began walking to towards the dining room.
“Dissy? Scootsy, Belly, Bloomy?” She asked he blinked at her in confusion.
“Blank fanks,” She stated and he sighed but snapped his fingers there were three yelps as they fell. Scootaloo groaned since at the time she'd been attempting Go cart raising, all three were slightly green Twilight giggled.
“oh hey twilight!” Sweetie Bell squealed seeing her.
“Whoa mah sis didn't wanna believe it, and whoa...you are young!” Applebloom gaped.
“Eats din din with me?” She asked and the fillies looked between one another.
“Definitely I'm starved!” Scootaloo exclaimed and Twilight squealed and giggled.
“Dis way Dis way!” She giggled skipping, they following behind her.
“Aunt Celestia, Aunt Luna,” Cadence greeted the two nuzzling each of them.
“Oh hello girls,” Cadence said.
“Have either of you seen Discord or Twilight?” Celestia asked and the princess and prince of the crystal empire looked to one another.
“is something the matter?” Cadence asked. Celestia just smiled tiredly,
“Maybe we are getting ahead of ourselves, I hope you do not mind the extra company,” She sighed.
“Not at all, we had an unexpected guest anyhow,” Cadence beamed. They walked quietly in the halls Spike looking nervous.
“You okay there Spike?” Shining asked the guard in him sensing something was quite right.
“Nah, every...every things fine.” Spike lied, but it wasn't a very good lie. He scrutinized the dragon whom just smiled weirdly. He looked away and Cadence gave him a gentle smile. She opened the door with a hoof to an innocent looking Twilight and 'friends' at the table.
“oh my,” Celestia came to a complete stop. Cadence and Shining both looked to the mare whom cleared her throat.
“Shiny sit me!” Twilight patted the seat. He sat and Celestia tensed before relaxing. She eyed everything as it came out on silver trays. Twilight, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom all talking loudly.
“Do you know what happened to Twilight?” Cadence asked Celestia whom shook her head.
“That no good rotten Discord happened to her! He turned her into a filly and they are playing pr..arghhmmmff” She was cut off as Celestia magicked a large scoop of mashed potatoes into her mouth.
“Rumor is Discord turned her into a filly,” She said simply and Cadence looked to Rainbow whom looked questioning at the princess.
“I see,” Cadence frowned but sipped her tea.
Unicorn ponies came out each with a silver platter neatly enveloped in their magic.
“oh good Dessert,” Cadence sighed in relief, the tension in the room came down to bearable.
“oh yum!” Scootaloo delved into the cake in front of her Celestia a close second with a large forkful.
“Oh yuck!” Scootaloo said as many faces skewered.
“Ketchup!?” She exclaimed however Shining froze, and eye twitching.
“k...ke...KETCHUP!!” He yelled letting out a whinny sound kicking his front hooves he ran through the door and Twilight laughing running after him. Quickly they ran after her and came to a stop as shining tripped the rope causing a box to fall on his head. He yelled running.
“SHINING!” Cadence hollered for her husband while the Stallion tripping on marbles, falling box first into the whipped crème covering himself in confetti. Twilight and the crusaders fell on their backs laughing as Cadence carefully navigated herself through the mess and to her husband his face of utter terror causing Twilight to howl with laughter. All laughter stopped however as a very angry Celestia shadowed her the filly looked up at her with innocent eyes.
“To the throne room Ms.Sparkle.” she scolded the filly pouted but giggling she bounced away.
“Take him to the infirmary,” Cadence told a guard whom bowed and quickly took him away.
“Cadence,” Celestia looked to the mare in question and the mare sighed but nodded. Twilight was bouncing around the room. She came to a stop to blink innocently at the princesses.
“Twilight Sparkle, I am so angry with you right now,” Celestia said and Twilights ears went down she sniffled.
“That's not going to work on me young filly!” She said coldly and Twilight hunkered down.
“Should I get your mother here?” She demanded and quickly Twilight shook her head.
“Can Somepony PLEASE tell me whats going on?” Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Celestia sighed looking to her sister whom also seemed a little curious. Glancing over Twilights friends she sighed.
“Years ago, it came to my attention that one of my ponies were getting out of hand,” She began.
“I did not know much of the filly in question, it had started innocently enough, Twilight and her brother were playing pranks on one another, it was a full out war. But, they were lighthearted innocent pranks.” Celestia explained Cadence looked sad.
“One day however, a prank went wrong, Twilight....” She hesitated
“Twilight was punished severely,” She looked guiltily.
“Shining had magicked it so everything Twilight heard was spoken as if backwards. She crossed the street when a Cross-pony said not to, he saved her but she in confusion at him yelling at her ran, she ran into a glass window, which got broken. Her parents were called, she had to assist the merchant till the window was completely repaired. Her parents grounded her, but the merchant took matters into his own hooves.” She said darkly and they tensed.
“Twilight...wasn't the same, she wanted revenge on Shining Armor, and began pulling pranks that were less funny and more mean. He admitted to being the cause of her breaking the window, and her mother again punished her, threatened her she'd live in the house forever, and not get to enlist in my school.” Celestia explained quietly.
“It scared her enough she stopped with the pranks. It was like an addiction, the less pranks she pulled, the less she desired to do them. Before she locked away everything that reminded her of pranks; meaning, ketchup. We're not quite sure why she likes ketchup, but it was a major clue that it was her whom pulled the prank. Her little signature.” Celestia explained.
“Shining nearly died with the last prank she pulled, now even the mere sight of ketchup will freak him out.” Cadence explained. They all looked to Twilight whom seemed to be elsewhere in thought.
“I will not tell your mother twilight,” Celestia said and the filly smiled.
“but you will clean up your mess, then come back here, understand?” She demanded Twilight nodded sadly. She pouted as Fluttershy, and Rarity both watched her clean but after several hours it was done. She yawned whining since it was well past bedtime.
“hold still little filly,” Celestia said and her horn began to glow yellow. Twilight closed her eyes tightly. But relaxed and opened her eyes. She blinked and rubbed her head.
“oh, my aching horn.” She groaned
“TWILIGHT” The five exclaimed hugging her. Twilight just looked at them confused.
“Whats going on girls?” She asked.
“We thought that you...” Pinkie started but went quiet as Celestia stepped down from the throne.
“What were you working on that you remember last Twilight?” Celestia looked at her faithful student, and now princess.
“oh uh....” Twilight closed her eyes then frowned
“I don't really remember, I remember saying goodbye to spike...” She went off looking to the princess whom nodded.
“No worries, why not rest? Its past everyponys bedtime.” She chuckled and stuck a tongue at her sister whom stuck her own royal tongue out in reply.
“Spike, can I have my own room tonight? I'm sorry, but I’d like to be alone as I try to figure out why the heck I'm in the crystal empire.” Twilight stated and he nodded she went into the room coming to a stop.
“I believe that was an E for me.” Twilight said after the door closed. She looked up at the floating draconequus.
“That means I won,” She stated and Discord laughed.
“The girls are waiting for you,” He said and the crusaders all grinned at her as they came out from underneath the bed.
“Twilight Secret Time: Take two!” They all exclaimed Twilight giggled at them. She looked to the door with gleaming eyes.
“Silly fillies, its only just begun.” She chuckled.
“I'll collect my reward for winning soon enough Dissy,” She told the Draconquus whom pouted but snapped his talon leaving with an echoing laugh.
