“Well, thank you for helping me with my homework,” Twilight said in a masculine voice as she moved the stallion figurine in her hoof up and down, “You’re really a genius, Twilight.”
“Oh, it was nothing really,” she said in her own voice as she moved a purple unicorn doll in her other hoof, “I’m just happy I could help you, Beefcake.”
“You know,” she replied in the stallion’s voice, “If I weren’t dating that snobby cheerleader Pompom, I’d totally go out with you.” Twilight reached over and moved a golden-haired Pegasus doll towards the other two.
“Beefcake!” she said in a high, screechy voice, “What are you doing with that nerd? Come over here and tell me I’m pretty, you big idiot!”
“Hey, leave him alone!” she said as she waved the unicorn doll threateningly, “He deserves somepony way better than you!”
“Oh yeah?” replied the screechy voice, “What are you gonna do about it?”
“This!” cried Twilight, as she thrust the unicorn doll forward, knocking over the Pegasus over.
“Wow,” said Beefcake as the puppeteer moved the stallion over to the unicorn, “Twilight, I never noticed how attracted I am to you.”
“Of course you are,” said Twilight as she moved the two dolls closer, “Quarterbacks like you are always attracted to mares who have brains and beauty, and I have both, and you know it.” She moved the two dolls closer to kiss, when Spike suddenly threw the door open.
“Twilight-”
“WHAT?!” cried the panicked unicorn as she suddenly grabbed all of her dolls and hugged them close as to keep Spike from seeing them.
“We’ve got a huge problem. You’re needed downstairs.”
“Knock on my door next time!” Twilight shouted angrily, “Knock!….Did you see anything?”
“No, Twilight,” said Spike, “I didn’t see you playing with your dolls again.”
“Good!” shouted the nervous mare as the dragon face-palmed and slammed the door shut.
After stowing her dolls way beneath her bed, Twilight left her room and descended down the stairs, where she was greeted by Spike and the rest of her friends. From the worried look she saw on their faces, Twilight immediately knew that something was wrong.
“What’s up?” asked the purple mare.
“It’s snowing,” replied Spike as he pointed a claw out the window. Twilight looked, and saw that he spoke the truth. All of ponyville was covered in a fresh blanket of snow, which continued to grow thicker by the minute. Immediately Twilight turned to look at Rainbow Dash, who had a small but significant history of accidents at her workplace. Dash noticed this look, and raised her forelegs in defense.
“I had nothing to do with it,” she said, “I have off today.” Twilight raised an eyebrow.
“You had off the day you flooded the park.”
“I had no idea it was a rain cloud!” cried the Pegasus, “And they should have known not to put it where I take my naps! Besides, they only make snow clouds in winter.”
“Dash has a point,” murmured Fluttershy, “The snow factory’s closed in the summer.”
“Well,” said Twilight, “I think we’d better tell Celestia about this. Tampering with the weather schedule is a serious offense.” The bookish mare moved to grab a quill and paper off of her desk when a familiar laugh suddenly echoed out in the room. It was low, dark, and yet somehow playful. It was subsequently joined by another laugh, this one feminine and laced with derision. The six ponies and the dragon huddled closely together in fear as two shapes materialized in the middle of the library.
“Discord!” cried Twilight.
“Chrysalis!” shouted Dash.
“Pinkie!” Pinkie yelped with a smile.
“Right you are, my little ponies,” Discord said as he hovered above them, “It is I, Discord, your resident Draconequus and future king.”
“And I!” thundered Chrysalis as she stepped in front of Discord and surrounded herself with a backdrop of green flame, “Queen Chrysalis, The Mighty Conqueror of Celestia!” Discord sneered and moved ahead of the changeling and made bolts of lightning shoot from his horn, antler, and tail.
“For I, Discord, Lord of Chaos and spirit of disharmony have returned to-” Once again, Chrysalis stepped in front of him and spoke in an ever louder voice, making the green flames surround her in an eerie fashion.
“The glorious and invincible Queen Chrysalis, ruler of the changelings, and actual, certified ROYALTY, have come seeking-” Discord suddenly filled the room with cotton-candy clouds and chocolate rain.
“I, DISCORD, THE VERY EMBODIMENT OF ALL THINGS CHAOTIC-”
“Would both of you shut up and get to the point?!” bellowed Dash. The two villains looked at her with what could only be described as sheepishness as all their gaudy effects disappeared. Discord cleared his throat to make up for the awkward silence.
“Well then, um, we’ve both come back to take over Equestria.”
“Both of you?” Twilight asked as she raised an eyebrow. Before either of the dark beings could reply, Rarity suddenly let out a giddy squeal.
“Oh, how positively romantic!” she giggled. Both Discord and Chrysalis’s jaws dropped as Rarity’s friends shot her a look.
“Rarity, this ain’t one o’ yer silly books,” sighed Applejack.
“But look at them,” said Rarity as she pointed her hoof at Chrysalis, “It’s so obvious. She’s the dark and mysterious queen who thought she would never find love,” she switched over to Discord, “And he’s the dashing rogue that slowly worms his way into her heart. Oh, It’s going to be so marvelous to design another wedding dress!” As she was saying this, the two villains were turning very red. It should be pointed out that Rarity was having a very slow month at the dress shop, and had been passing the time by reading cheap romance novels.
“Rarity…They’re EVIL!” cried Twilight.
“But that’s what makes it so romantic!” said the fashion diva. Chrysalis was suddenly sick all over Twilight’s Grandmother’s antique Canterlot rug, much to the dismay of the purple mare.
“That’s preposterous!” sputtered Discord, “We hate each other!”
“Then why ya here together?” asked Applejack.
“Because…” gagged the changeling queen, “Because…Oh, you’ll find out.”
