//------------------------------// // Consequences // Story: Equestria Discord // by Epicdiscord214 //------------------------------// On Monday morning, Discord woke up and got dressed with a snap of his fingers. He slid down his spiral staircase railings and down to the first floor where his butler was waiting with a plateful of cookies. "Awesome." Discord said. He took some cookies and stuffed them in his mouth. After a swallow he took a breath. "And I didn't have to sing what I wanted this time." "Believe me, I'm relieved." Black Tie said. "My shoes are still drying after you were 'asking' for that glass of water." "Oh, well." Discord said. With a snap of his fingers, his backpack floated right into his hand. "See ya' after school, Black Tie." "All right then, sir." Black Tie said. Later on, Discord walked through the front door. He scatted a song until he opened his eyes to see three dirty looks pointed at him. He was in front of Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna, and Starlight Glimmer. "Did I miss something?" Discord asked. "Are we having a stink-eye staring contest?" "Discord, my office, NOW!" Principal Celestia growled angrily. "Okay, okay." Discord said. He followed the three of them to the Principle's Office. Inside, Sunset Shimmer was cleaning the room up. "Oh, hey." Sunset Shimmer said. "What's going on?" "Discord, have a seat." Celestia demanded. Discord followed. "Discord, Starlight has informed me of something. She told me you hypnotized me into letting you in the president election. Is that true?" Discord grew worried just as Sunset Shimmer did. He breathed in and out sweating. "Okay, give me a minute. Um... You got the wrong guy?" "Discord, it's a simple yes-or-no question." Vice Principal Luna said. "Did you hypnotize my sister?" "...Maybe." Discord answered nervously. After another dirty look from the others, he broke down. "ALL RIGHT! FINE! STOP PRESSURING ME! I DID IT! I DID IT!" Principal Celestia pulled out a sheet of paper. "Discord, this is a list of all the pranks you've pulled in all your other schools. Going over them, I realize something: none of them are as unforgivable as what you've done here. I'm going to have to take you out of the campaign." Discord dried up his eyes and became calm. "That's it? That doesn't seem to bad." "And you're hereby expelled!" Celestia continued. "WHAT?!" Discord gasped loudly. "NO! PLEASE! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" "It's too late, Discord." Principal Celestia said. "I already took this matter to the mayor. What's done is done. You can clean out your locker, but if we ever see you on school grounds again, you'll be arrested for trespassing. In the meantime, Starlight, since Discord is expelled, you're president by default." Inside, Discord was broken. He breathed heavily at the news. Sunset had eyes of worry in her eyes. As Discord stood up and turned to the door glumly, Sunset turned to Starlight Glimmer. "One question. Starlight, how did you know about what Discord did?" "Oh, that." Starlight replied with a grin. "Oh, a little birdie told me." "What?" Discord whispered to himself. "Who could've told her. The only people who knew about it were me, Sunset, her friends, and..." Suddenly, his eyes widened before growing angry. Discord trotted out and walked a few hallways before finding an empty room. He pulled out his hand-held mirror and shouted. "Reflection! I want to talk to you!" Suddenly, Discord's ordinary reflection changed. The living reflection smiled at him. "What, no hello?" the reflection said. "You seem upset. Is something the matter?" "How could you do it?" Discord asked. "You told Starlight Glimmer about how I threw my name into the election! Why?" "I had to." the reflection replied. "You gave me no choice. Now that you have no chance with everyone in this school, you can go back to the way things were." "Back to the way things were?" Discord asked in an upset voice. "I was happy, very happy. For once, I had friends who appreciated me no matter what I did or what I could do. And now, thanks to you, I'm no longer allowed to set foot in here again. This school was my last chance to make my parents proud and you ruined it! You're not a teacher; you're a villain!" "You don't know what you're talking about." the reflection said. "You should thank me." "THANK YOU?" Discord asked angrily. "You're welcome." the reflection shot back. "THAT'S IT!" Discord shouted. He snapped his fingers and the mirror glowed for a second. "What's this?" the reflection said. "What did you do?" "You taught me too well." Discord said. "I blocked any way for you to leave this mirror. You can't go into any other reflective surface again." "YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" the reflection shouted. "I'M THE BEST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO YOU AND YOU'RE THROWING ME AWAY!" "Throwing you away." Discord said looking at the garbage can beside him. "What a swellegant idea." He opened it up and raised the mirror above it. "DISCORD, DON'T!" the reflection protested desperately. "You can't do it! We're two of a kind! What will you do without me?!" "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a darn." Discord replied before releasing the mirror. The reflection screamed while the mirror plummeted down the garbage can and into the bottom. The reflection's voice echoed from the can and tried to get Discord to stop, but Discord closed the can lid anyway. After that, Discord never talked to his living reflection again. Discord already cleaned out his locker and slammed it shut. He turned to see his six friends behind him. "Hey, Discord." Rainbow Dash said. "We just want to say, we're sorry we gave you a hard time." "We shouldn't have treated you like that." Rarity said. "We didn't think there's be another side of you." Applejack said. "No, I'm the one who should be sorry." Discord said. "Even with my new powers, I'm still the same. I couldn't help myself." "I bet you couldn't." Starlight Glimmer stood there with a smile on her face. Snips and Snails were standing at her side. "Glimmer." Discord growled. "That's Class President Glimmer to you." Snips said. "You see, Discord," Starlight said, "This is what happens when a force of chaos messes with a bringer of harmony." "Why did you do it?" Discord asked. "You could've just kept your trap shut, but you didn't. And the worst part, you're enjoying this. Why?" "Because you don't belong here." Starlight replied. "You are the living embodiment of everything I'm against! My goal is to make everyone equal and the same! For you, it can't possibly be done! You're chaos and I'm harmony! Do the math!" Starlight turned around and left the area. Discord frowned and Fluttershy placed her hand on his shoulder. Soon, Discord gathered up everything and walked out the door. He turned his head and saw every student he helped watch him walk away. Discord continued out of school grounds and never looked back. Meanwhile, inside the computer room, Ricky came in and sighed. He just returned from seeing Discord leave. "I wonder how the Devastator update is doing." he said glumly. He wiggled his mouse closing the screensaver and saw something he didn't expect. He widened his eyes and dropped his jaw at the same time. "What's this? I... I don't believe it!"
