	With a snap of his claws, Discord had them back at the library in a split second. He gingerly knocked on the door. Freddy wasn’t sure if Twilight was awake or not. It had gotten to be morning. His gears squealed as he turned his head to Discord.

“Who is it?” Twilights muffled voice came through the door. When she opened it, Freddy gave his best smile and waved at her.

“Freddy? Where were you? You didn’t have to run off!” She scolded. Freddy glared, making her back off.

“Okay, look I hit a breakthrough last night. I think I am able to get you home before the day is over with.” She said.

The rest of her friends piled behind her. “Freddy!” They screamed in unison.

“We thought you ran off! I didn’t want you to leave us without saying goodbye!” Pinkie wrapped her hooves around him and cried, tears pouring from her eyes dramatically.

Freddy pushed her away.

“Sorry.” She grinned.

“Heavens, darling, where have you been?” Rarity put her hoof over her chest.

“He was with me, of course. I told him I would help him get back to where he came from.” Discord appeared beside him.

“Oh, hi, Discord.” Fluttershy perked up.

“My dear, Fluttershy.” Discord bowed.

“Okay, so how are you supposed to get him home, exactly?” Applejack drawled.

“Yeah, and how did you find him?” Rainbow Dash poked Discord’s chest.

He scoffed. “Don’t blame me. I was simply taking a stroll through the park and found the poor fellow sitting on a bench.” A halo poofed above his head.

Freddy began speaking.

“Okay, okay! No need to be hasty!” Discord teleported everyone into the library.

“You can understand him?” Rainbow said, flatly.

Discord ignored her. “Since Twilight can create portals, and I can use my amazing chaos magic to control where the portal goes, Freddy will be back, lickity split.” He snapped his fingers, appearing behind Spike.

“Or… we can just let Twilight handle it.” Spike countered.

“What? Don’t trust me? We’re all friends, right?” Discord spread his arms and looked between the crowd of ponies.

They stared at him. Freddy picked his finger up, about to speak, when Twilight interrupted.

“That’s… actually a good idea.”

Everyone gasped.

“Twilight! You can’t be agreeing with that big… big… meanie!” Pinkie shouted.

“I must agree with Pinkie. How do we know he isn’t up to something?” Rarity added.

Freddy let out a long screech.

“Um, what did he say, sugarcube?” Applejack glanced at Fluttershy.

“He says he doesn’t think Discord isn’t a bad guy. And I, for one, agree. Discord is reformed, remember?” She said.

Freddy watched the disagreeing ponies mumble between themselves.

“Fine, but we will be watching you, Discord.” Rainbow said his name like it soured on her tongue.

Discord grinned. “Oh, believe me. Freddy is great for pranks, but no real domination plans.”

Freddy crossed his arms. What was that supposed to mean?

“Then it’s settled. I’ll go ahead and find a black hole. Discord, I need you to direct the portal.” Twilight said, igniting her horn.

As her horn glowed brighter, a ball of energy came from thin air before them. The pink aura started swirling and twisting, eventually becoming large enough for Freddy to fit through. She started sweating as the swirling mass collapsed in on itself, becoming a hole filled with nothing.

“Okay,” She grunted, “Discord, hurry. I don’t know how much longer I can keep it open.”

Discord cracked his knuckles. “Time to shine!”

Freddy uncrossed his arms and stared, wide-eyed, as the draconequus was sucked into the hole. As if staring into space, a small spark exploded. It was the closest thing to a supernova Freddy would ever see. Then, as fast as he entered, Discord exited the void.

“Finished. The portal to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza awaits you, my friend. By the way, your friends are slightly… creepy.” Discord whispered to Freddy.

Freddy rolled his eyes one last time and screeched his goodbyes to everyone.

“No! I never got to throw you a party!” Pinkie clung to Freddy’s leg.

He picked her up and glared at her.

“Oh, right. Sorry.” She frowned.

Freddy then did something he had never done before. He hugged the pink pony with a fluffy mane. She squealed and hugged him back. After a second, Freddy pried her off and set her back down.

“I’ll miss you, Freddy!” She blew her nose in a handkerchief. 


“Bye, Freddy!”

“Come visit, sometime!”

“Tell your friends we said hi!”

Freddy waved goodbye to the ponies as they said their various farewells. He then jumped into the dark vortex. He had to hug his suit close to him before the vacuum pulled it off of him. He saw a tiny white light that grew larger with each second. He blocked his eyes until finally he fell and landed on something made of wood.

When he opened his eyes, he saw he was back in the party room. He was home! Standing on his feet, he looked behind him on the stage. Bonnie, Chica, and Foxie stared at him in confusion. He smiled and walked towards them.

*Where have you been? You’ve been gone since this morning and we had to entertain the children without you!* Chica screeched.

*Also, there is a new night guard. It will soon be midnight, so you made it just in time.* Bonnie joined her.

Freddy put his hand to his forehead. *You guys wouldn’t believe what happened to me.*
