"Now where is Applejack? I believe she may know best how to begin reforming Discord," Celestia muttered. The group of ponies just looked at their ruler with awe, all jaws dropping. There was a moment of silence before anypony said anything.
"Applejack?!" Rainbow Dash shouted, "Really?" she shrieked.
"I know I may sound crazy, but I believe that she's the one," Celestia said.
"But why?" Twilight asked, "why not Fluttershy?"
"Becasue," Celestia said, "I believe that Fluttershy wouldn't be able to keep up with Discord," she answered.
"Why not Rarity?" Twilight asked.
"Oh, pluh-lease! Why would I want a chaos demon in my boutique?! What about my sister Sweetie Belle?!" Rarity shrieked.
"Okay then," Twilight muttered, "Why not Pinkie Pie?"
"That's like putting a hyperactive pony that's always on a sugar rush and a chaos lord in a peaceful town!" Rainbow Dash commented.
"That's what it would be, Rainbow Dash," Rarity spat.
"Rarity does have a point," Twilight said, "why not me, or Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked, hoping for the answer she wanted.
"Twilight, I don't want a chaos lord living in my place!" Rainbow Dash shouted.
"And, you have some very important things coming up, my faithful student," Celestia said.
"Well, I do have a few things on my list..." Twilight muttered.
"Then the case is settled, I'll get Applejack and Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash shouted. She then flew away, leaving a cloud of dust and a bright rainbow trail behind her.
"Where are they, exactly?" Celestia asked.
The angry beaver chattered away, obviously furious about having to destroy its dam.
"What's he goin' on about now?" Applejack asked, with a sprinkle of whining in her tone. Fluttershy looked at her irritated friend before answering her question.
"Good news. Mister Beaverton Beaverteeth has agreed to take his dam apart and move it," Fluttershy said, bringing the good news. Fluttershy was about to bring the rest of the news when Applejack interrupted her pastel pegasus friend.
"Well it's about time! My apple trees are so water logged, Ah can practically hear them gurgle!" Applejack complained. Fluttershy waited a few seconds before she said the rest of the news.
"But he says first you're going to have to apologize for calling him, a nuisance." Fluttershy was finally able to say. She really didn't want to give the news to Applejack but had to. As she saw her friend scowl even more, she knew that Applejack didn't take it the good way.
"Apologize?! He's lucky Ah didn't call him a varmint!" Applejack shouted. The aggravated beaver spouted something in Beaver in front of the orange farmer's face. Fluttershy was taken aghast by what the beaver just spouted to Applejack.
"Mister Beaverton Beaverteeth, such rude language!" Fluttershy said, fully ashamed at the language the beaver spouted. Applejack contorted an ugly face and Fluttershy was afraid that she was about to blow. But, surprisingly, she didn't. Instead, she breathed out and calmed herself down. Still irritated, she gave in.
"Fine, fine. Ah apologize," Applejack said. Mister Beaverton Beaverteeth looked around a bit, trying to find the stick that was holding the entire dam together. After a quick search, he found the perfect stick, and pulled it out of the cranny, almost causing the entire dam to wash away. Applejack was relieved to see all of the water pouring off her farm. She was sure grateful for Fluttershy, and was glad that she was her friend.
"Thanks, Fluttershy. Ah don't know what I wouldn't have done without ya," Applejack thanked.
"Glad I could help," Fluttershy replied. Applejack was about to turn around and head back to the farm when Rainbow Dash screeched to a halt.
"Hey, slackers! Double time it over to Ponyville, would ya? We're all waiting on you two!" Rainbow Dash said. Applejack and Fluttershy looked at each other before galloping over to Ponyville.
"Uh, what now?" Applejack asked, shocked by what Celestia was asking her to do.
"I realize that this is a tall order, but I wouldn't have asked you if I weren't confident you could get him to use his magic obediently for his own free will," Celestia said, trying to comfort the Element of Honesty.
"Ya think Ah can do that?" Applejack asked, obviously concerned about what Celestia was thinking. Celestia placed her hoof underneath Applejack's chin, raising her head so that Applejack's bright emerald eyes and Celestia's amythest eyes met each other's.
"I do," Celestia answered. Celestia then trotted away and got into her golden chariot.
"Now, I must return to Canterlot. You may release Discord when you're all ready," Celestia said. It was the last thing she said she was flown away to Canterlot. Now it was just the Mane 6, Discord the Statue and the chest containing the Elements of Harmony.
"Okay, ponies. I guess it's time to get it started. Let's just hope this releasing spell works," Twilight announced, opening the chest with her aurora and placing the necklaces of her friends. She then placed the crown on her head as they all trotted closer to the imprisoned Discord.
"Or, let's not," Spike suggested, obviously scared.
"We best keep our elements on at all times until further notice," Twilight said, giving the order to her friends. They looked down at their elements before responding to Twilight Sparkle.
"Check!" they all chimed.
They all looked at each other as Twilight grunted, her unicorn horn glowing a bright magenta as she performed the difficult spell. Suddenly, the Mane 6 floated up into the air by a few feet, and their elements began blaring off magic in the form of their gem. The magic blasted at the stone statue and a rainbow trail came out of the elements, all connecting together and wrapping around Twilight. The trail then connected to Twilight's gem. At that instant, a powerful beam shout of of her horn and the stone statue began cracking. The rainbow trail swirled really fast around the statue and before anypony knew it, the magic stopped and Discord gave a loud yowl. It soon turned out to be a yawn.
"Well it's about time sompony got me out of that imprisonment! It's been so long!" Discord complained. Discord stretched one way and snapped his paw, causing a cute brown squirrel minding its own thing to transform into a mutant squirrel.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Twilight Sparkle screeched, concerned about the squirrel.
"Why stretching, of course! Stone isn't the latest fashion for draconequi! Especially if your trapped in one position for a while!" Discord answered, yawning. He stretched in another position, and used his claws this time to turn a chocolate brown bunny into a hulk bunny.
"Make that bunny cute again! Now!" Pinkie Pie shouted.
"Aw, he's adorable, don't ya think?" Discord asked, petting the mutant bunny. The bunny tried to bite his claw off, and Discord just backed off, sticking his tongue out in return.
"Wanna know what else is adorable? You ponies truly think that you can all reform me. And that you're putting your faith on Applejack out of all ponies!" Discord said, laughing his draconequus butt off.
"How did you know all about that?" Twilight asked, truly confused.
"You know stone isn't sound proof, right? Trust me, let's just say I wish it was..." Discord answered, contorting his face really quickly before looking back at the Element of Magic, who looked very furious.
"Well, unless you want us to turn you back into stone, you better zap those animals back to the way they were, pronto!" Twilight Sparkle shouted. Her face was practically red like a ripe tomato, or that one time she accidentally drank hot sauce instead of Pina Colata, or that one time that Twilight was mad at Pinkie Pie because of her superstitions.
"You wouldn't risk disappointing your precious princess, now, would you?" Discord asked, trying his best to get Twilight's head to explode.
"Try us, Dipcord!" Rainbow Dash challenged.
"You think you can get away with mutating animals!" Fluttershy said, getting angrier by the second.
"You go, Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash cheered.
"You better watch your step, buster, or I'll give you, the stare!" Fluttershy threatened.
"The stare?! Oh no, please don't! Anything but your disturbing eyeballs staring me down!" Discord said, faking his scared feelings. But Fluttershy was too blind to see his prank.
Fluttershy then gave him the stare.
"Oh Fluttershy, please stop!" Discord shouted, making himself sound convincing. Fluttershy kept giving him the stare. Did she know that Discord was faking?
Discord made a bunch of gagging sounds as he held his paw and claw around his throat, his eyes swirling. Fluttershy stopped and as soon as she did, Discord began laughing his draconequus butt off once again. Fluttershy gave a sudden look of irritation as Discord continued to laugh away.
"Ha! You're hilarious!" Discord managed to shout out.
"I'm pretty sure we can convince Celestia that we used these elements for a good reason when we turn you back to stone!" Twilight threatened. Discord realized that Twilight Sparkle was being serious, and gave up.
"Ugh, fine!" he said. He snapped his claw, causing the two animals to turn back to normal. He then secretly snapped his tail and turned a group of beavers into vicious creatures, and they ran off.
"Oopsies!" Discord whispered to you readers. He cleared his throat as he leaned in towards Twilight.
"Looks like I know where I'll be crashing while I'm getting reformed!" he said, placing air quotes when he said the word 'reformed.' "With you, Applejack!" he shouted, snapping his claws which caused Applejack to be teleported into his grasp. He then took her Stetson hat off and placed it on his head, and gave his brand new 'room mate' a nuggie.
"Oh dear," Applejack sighed, giving a concerned and worried look to you readers.
