The next day was the final day of the trial. Almost every pony was there. Discord was still hiding in his stone box from the Mane 6 and Fluttershy was absent. Golden Eyes had great confidence. Lok leaned in to her ear.
"Mistress, could we finish this quickly? That pegasus with the eyes is freaking me out."
"Save your breath, Lok?" Golden Eyes whispered back. "Today, we end it."
Iron Will appeared on the judge's stand. "All right, everypony. Today, end the case of 'Equestria vs Discord'. Now..." He looked over at the Mane 6 and grew confused. "Speaking of which, where is the accused?"
"He's... in this box, your honor." Twilight said holding up the box. "He refuses to come out."
"Nonsense!" Golden Eyes said swiping the box. She opened it and shook it upside down. Discord fell from inside of the box with a pout. "I'll hold onto this box until the end of the trial."
"Discord, I..." Twilight said.
"HUP!" Discord interrupted holding up his lion paw. "Talk to the paw because Big D ain't speaking to you."
"Who's Big D?" Derpy asked.
"Don't you have to be stupid somewhere else?" A.K. Yearling asked.
"Not until 4." Derpy said.
"Your honor," Golden Eyes called out, "I call no one to the witness stand."
"What?" Iron Will asked. "Iron Will... doesn't understand."
"You see, it's hard to fit all of Equestria in one itty-bitty stand." Golden Eyes said. "My witness is... ALL OF EQUESTRIA!" She turned to everyone. "EVERYONE, YOU WERE ALL VICTIMS AND YOU SAW WHAT THE ACCUSED DID! HE PROMISED HE'D CAPTURE TIREK, BUT INSTEAD, HE HELPED HIM! HE ROUNDED YOU ALL UP FOR A GREAT HARVEST! DO YOU ALL AGREE?!"
"YES!" everyone shouted. Discord hung his head sullenly while the Mane 6 looked worried.
"HOW CAN YOU EXPECT A DEAL-BREAKER TO KEEP HIS PROMISE AND LEAVE US ALONE?! WELL, I SAY IF DISCORD CAN'T LEAVE US ALONE, WE MAKE HIM LEAVE US ALONE! WHAT SAY YOU, DISCORD?! READY TO SPILL THE BEANS?!"
Still pouting, Discord materialized a can of beans and flipped it over. Several beans fell out and landed in a pile on the floor.
"Yes, that's very funny!" Golden Eyes said sarcastically. "CONFESS, ALREADY!"
"ORDER!" Iron Will shouted slamming his gavel down. "ORDER!" He continued until the courtroom fell silent. "You made your point, Ms. Eyes. Princess Twilight Sparkle, do you have anything to say to respond to that?"
"Um..." Twilight said.
"OF COURSE, WE DO!" Pinkie Pie shouted. "Can't you take a look at Discord?! He's very depressed! I say, before we hear the verdict, we should cheer him up. And I know just a song to make him happy."
"What?" Discord asked.
"Objection!" Golden Eyes shouted. "They're stalling, your honor!"
"Objection carried." Iron Will said. "You won't sing."
"I will!"
"You won't!"
"I will!"
"You won't!"
"I won't!"
"YOU WILL!"
"NO, I WILL NOT SING A SONG!"
"YES, YOU'LL SING AND I WON'T CHANGE MY MIND!"
"Have it your way." Pinkie said with a smile.
"Wait a minute." Iron Will said. He then groaned. "I can't believe I fell for that again."
"Hey, Maud," Pinkie called out, "Hit it!"
Maud Pie pulled out a bunch of rocks in the shape of musical instruments and played music with them. Pinkie sang along to it while Golden Eyes was aggravated.
"Every girl and boy
Can have their own joy
In each little dimple
As you can see
Being completely happy
Isn't that easy nor simple
You have to have no worries in your life
'Cause peace is what you have to feed
And when the smoke clears, you'll be happy
So where is the smile you need
The fear and darkness
Can make you very heartless
If you allow it to invade your mind
But if you cheer up
Then the joy will clear up
And who knows what treasure you'll find
All I really need is a big, wide smile
One grin is all I please
'Cause if I'm happy, you're happy to
So where is the smile you...
Where is it
Where is the smile you need
Your teeth are very white
So let them shine bright
They have an enchanting glow
And if you make them shine
Then life will be fine
Now, it only goes to show
WHEN YOU MAKE A SMILE
IT DOESN'T TAKE A WHILE
TO GET A GOOD FEELING INSIDE
AND STARTING A GRIN
CAN ONLY BEGIN
THE DELIGHT IT WILL PROVIDE
ANYONE CAN SMILE IF THEY JUST TRY
THOSE EXACT WORDS ARE MY CREED
HAPPINESS IS A BIG, SILLY SMIIIIIIILE"
"Where is the smile..." Maud Pie sang.
"WHERE IS THE SMILE..." Pinkie sang.
"WHERE IS THE SMILE YOU..." everyone sang,
"NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED"
"STOP IT!" Golden Eyes shouted angrily. "These pathetic attempts are only to stall Discord's punishment. This proves without a doubt that..."
Suddenly, the courtroom doors slammed open and Fluttershy ran with fear in her eyes.
"DRAGON OUTSIDE! THERE'S A DRAGON OUTSIDE!" everyone stared at Fluttershy. "Thought you ought to know."
Suddenly, the roof of the building was ripped open and a large, red dragon with golden-colored spikes were out of its back. It roared and everyone panicked.
"MISTRESS, THIS WASN'T PART OF THE PLAN!" Lok shouted.
"GET DOWN, YOU BIRD-BRAIN!" Golden Eyes shouted.
The dragon looked down at Fluttershy who didn't move and roared. Discord looked and gasped. "FLUTTERSHY!"
The dragon raised its claw and prepared to strike. Suddenly, Discord materialized a rocket and shot it at the dragon's face. He then created a giant pair of underwear and put it on the dragon.
"I can see your underwear." Discord sang.
The dragon roared again.
"You... you gave me the roar." Discord said. "That's it. You can swallow me whole. You can insult my mother. You can trash my home. But nopony--and I mean noooooo pony--gives me the roar. I'm maaaaaaad."
Suddenly, Discord brought up a giant blanket and waved it at the dragon. It was confused until Discord came from under the blanket and grabbed the dragon's nostrils. He pulled them off.
"I got your nose!" Discord said.
The dragon gasped. "But how will I smell?"
"Terrible." Discord chuckled.
Discord snapped his eagle claw and the dragon's nose disappeared. "Hey, big guy, I gave your nose to a teenage dragon named Garble. I think you can find him at the volcano springs."
The dragon raised its wing and flew away. Discord chuckled as the dragon disappeared into the horizon. He landed back into the courtroom preparing for what might happen next.
