Twilight Sparkle and her family emerged out from Castle of Friendship. Twilight Sparkle took a deep breathe before walked down the stairs. Lance, Spike and Nyx looked boring and annoying. She must have done something wrong to them or rather something bored them to death.
"Worst long weekend ever..." Lance complained. He grunted upon looking at the sun, "Damn the sun. It's blinding my eyes."
Nyx nudged Lance's chest hard, "Quit your complaining. So it's been a little while since we've seen the sun."
"A little while?" Spike asked in annoyance before grumbled, "We've been in that library for three straight days! All just for 'book-sort-cation'."
"Yes, but they were three very productive days!" Twilight Sparkle admitted while smiling to her children, "It's not like we missed anything."
"What the heck is that?!" Lance asked in shock.
Twilight Sparkle and her children looked up and found two spiral-like twisters. They're heading straight to the Sparkle Family. The family quickly ducked down at once as the twisters passed them while crashed to the ground hard.
As Twilight Sparkle and her children slowly getting up, they turned to their back to find out of what crashed to the ground. Rainbow Dash and Discord were standing still and looking at them.
"Hello, Twilight! Hi, Spike!" Rainbow Dash and Discord greeted happily.
"Hi, Rainbow Dash. Good to see you, Discord." Twilight Sparkle greeted uneasily, "Did you rehearse before you found us?"
"What makes you think we practiced?"
"Come on, Rainbow Dash. What's going on here?"
Rainbow Dash snickered and laughed happily, "Sorry. Me and Discord are just messin' around. Like we do."
"Since when?" Nyx asked in surprise.
"Oh, Twilight. We simply had a momentous time together these past three days. You could say it was..." Discord commented as he transformed into a snake, "...'hiss-terical'!"
Both Rainbow Dash and Discord laughed in amusement and happily. It makes Twilight and her family very uncomfortable and concern.
"I don't get it," Lance asked in concern.
Nyx shrugged, "Me neither."
"Kind of an inside joke from this weekend. You wouldn't really get it unless you were there." Rainbow Dash explained in amusement. Twilight and her family were still uncomfortable about it. She sighed happily,"Well, uh, catch you later, Twilight!"
Discord laughed in amusement, "Catch you later, Twilight."
As Rainbow Dash flew off, Discord started running very hard that could dug the dirt out of ground before he disappeared before everyone's eyes.
"What was that?" Lance asked in concern.
Twilight Sparkle nodded, "That was strange, right? Since when have Rainbow Dash and Discord had inside jokes?"
"Since sometime in the last three days, I guess." Spike remarked in annoyance.
Nyx nudged Spike's chest, "Hey! Nopony made you join me and mummy on her book-sort-cation."
"I'm jokin', I'm jokin'!" Spike corrected.
Lance hummed, "So, what's next?"
"Let's check on Rarity. Let's see what she's up to," Twilight Sparkle suggested, "And hopefully, we can find out of what your father has been up to for last three days especially today. He never mind-linked with me or even send me a scroll. He's up to something. I can feel it."
Lance, Nyx and Spike remained silent as they were all worried for Twilight Sparkle. They haven't seen Shadow Dragon or Dragoking for three days since they began their 'book-sort-cation'.
At the small squared building, ponies were cheering wildly and happily as they were watching the fighting arena. They were betting on two best fighters in arena. Nezha Vengito was among them. He hasn't been seen for nearly a year since the end of Third Mystic War. Dragoking was outside of the building as he was watching the arena.
Shadow Dragon was battling with Martial Artist Unicorn. The latter fought fiercely at the former by punching and kicking for few times but only missed and blocked by him. The Martial Artist gave Shadow Dragon a hard punch on chest, making the latter pushed back very hard.
Shadow Dragon grunted, "Come on! Is that all you've got?!"
Martial Artist groaned as he charged and attacked Shadow Dragon with everything he has. As Martial Artist continued attacking, he slowly getting tired and exhausted. Shadow Dragon gave Martial Artist punches thrice before kicked him off hard. Ponies went wild as they threw the bits at Shadow Dragon as he won the arena.
Shadow Dragon was outside as he was putting some bags of money on Dragoking's back. Nezha Vengito approached him.
Shadow Dragon glared at Nezha, "What are you doing here?
"I could ask you the same thing," Nezha asked in amusement. Shadow Dragon remained silent. He continued, "You haven't lost your fighting spirits, even though you said you're done with it. You wanted more. You want to keep fighting. After all, you're the warrior."
"Shut up."
"Deny all you want, but you're still a warrior from your heart. That's what you always will be."
"Shut up!"
"Fine... But what will your girlfriend say when she sees this? You know she won't be please about it," Nezha commented in amusement. Shadow Dragon narrowed his angry eyes while remained silent. Nezha smirked as he turned and walked away, "Good luck with your life, my old rival..."
As Shadow Dragon remained and anger at Nezha, Dragoking growled in concern as he lowered his head close to his master. Shadow Dragon turned and patted Hydragoon's head gently. He wondered if he should continued or not...
As Rarity was busy in making dresses on manikins, Twilight and her family entered Carousal Boutique. Its door bell attracted Rarity to turn and check on front door.
Rarity gasped, "Twilight! You've returned from your book sorting sabbatical! All that organizing has done wonders for your complexion!"
"Thanks! It was very relaxing." Twilight Sparkle thanked happily, "And we were able to clear a shelf for those old-fashioned books you wanted to donate."
Rarity scoffed as she levitated the ball to Twilight Sparkle, "They're not old, darling. They're vintage, and they're over there! I've even included my favorites by former Canterlot designer to the stars Rococo Froufrou!"
"Twilight! This makes twice I'm seeing you in one day! Aren't I lucky?"
Twilight and her family yelped in surprise as they turned to their back. They found Discord is with Fluttershy. Wasn't he with Rainbow Dash?
"Hi, Twilight! Hi, Spike! Hi, Lance! Hi, Nyxie! How was your book-sort-cation?" Fluttershy asked.
"It was good!" Nyx answered happily.
Fluttershy giggled, "Orange you glad you did it?"
Suddenly; she, Rarity and even Discord laughed in amusement together. It made Twilight and her children very uncomfortable. Usually, Mane Five never actually have a great time with Discord except for Fluttershy.
"Orange you glad! Oh, Fluttershy, you're a card!" Rarity laughed happily.
"You do seem to be turning a shade of..." Discord commented but gasped, "orange!"
Fluttershy got turned into an orange. Three of them laughed in amusement and happily. Discord peeled the pedicel out as the orange peeled out while Fluttershy emerged from it. Twilight and her family were still confused and uncomfortable about it.
"I don't get it," Lance asked in confusion.
Spike shrugged, "Me neither."
Rarity smiled, "Oh, sorry, darling. You see, we were at Sweet Apple Acres and, uh, ooh, how to explain..."
"Well, let me try and paint her a picture, dearest." Discord interrupted as he transformed into the form of Bob Ross with art block and painting tools. He was painting Sweet Apple Acres, "You see, we were all at Sweet Apple Acres, and I ended up turning the trees into the most—"
Discord returned to his normal self, "Oh, who am I kidding? I simply can't do it justice. You really had to be there."
"We would've invited you to come along too, but we didn't want to interrupt your organizing. We know how important it is to you." Fluttershy added.
"And I'm sure it was much more important than the fun that we had." Discord laughed in amusement.
"I appreciate that..." Twilight Sparkle said uneasily, "Speaking of books, I should get these on the shelves."
Fluttershy and Rarity laughed happily as they were watching Discord juggling the turning from apples to oranges. Twilight and her children felt uneasy and concern about this.
Shadow Dragon and Dragoking were walking across the Ponyville while looked around in making sure he wasn't spotted by Twilight Sparkle or any of her friends.
"That was tough fight for three days," Shadow Dragon remarked in annoyance. He rubbed on his cheek gently. He hissed painfully, "Well, it better be worth it. I darn hate doing nothing."
Dragoking growled in concern at Shadow Dragon. The hero hummed in concern as he knew what his pet was wondering. He had a bad feeling that Twilight Sparkle won't be happy.
Suddenly, they heard someone talking. Shadow Dragon used his Summon Stone to put Dragoking back in, avoiding the bags of money to be seen or heard. They headed off and checked on whose voice belonged to. They spotted Twilight Sparkle and the children were chatting while walking across the street.
Twilight Sparkle hummed suspiciously, "Rainbow Dash bonding with Discord, Rarity finding something he did genuinely funny..."
"Must've been some weekend." Shadow Dragon joined in. Twilight Sparkle and her children noticed him. He smiled, "Hey there."
"Where have you been for the weekend?"
"Visiting my friends and family. Nothing much."
"So, I heard. Something's off with my friends. They'd never been supportive with Discord."
"Somepony sorry she missed it?"
Twilight Sparkle huffed, "Very funny. Of course not."
"Look whatever it is, I'm sure you have nothing to shame that you're jealous. Just tell me." Shadow Dragon insisted. Twilight Sparkle remained silent and quiet for the moment. Her children looked concern about her. He sighed, "Come on, Twilight. Tell us, so we can help you."
Just before Twilight Sparkle could explain, they heard the loud laughter. It came from Sugarcube Corner!
Twilight Sparkle and her family went into Sugarcube Corner to find out of what's really going on. They found Applejack and Pinkie Pie were laughing hysterically and wildly. And at the same time, Discord was at counter, eating his cupcakes.
"What the heck?" Lance asked in shock.
Nyx nodded, "I know. This is getting weirder. Something's off."
"Not to mention, he's everywhere today, isn't he?" Twilight Sparkle asked in concern.
"What is Discord up to?" Shadow Dragon asked suspiciously.
"We had just finished our soup, and then Applejack said," Discord said in amusement. His head turned into Applejack's head as he imitated her, "Peanut butter hoof? Yuck, not even with jelly!"
Applejack and Pinkie Pie then laughed in amusement and hysterically.
"I don't get it," Shadow Dragon said in concern.
Pinkie Pie laughed, "It was hilarious! I wish we'd taken a picture for you!"
"Oh, well, this should do!"
Discord jumped to the center. He was wearing the peanut butter bottle as his shoes. He then began danced happily while tapping the bottles at each other. Applejack and Pinkie Pie laughed in amusement and happily. Twilight Sparkle and her family were still uncomfortable and confused.
"I still don't get it," Shadow Dragon said in concern.
"Well, seems this has become quite the..." Discord said in amusement as he tried to take the bottles out. But instead, it poured the peanut butter out. He then laughed, "sticky situation!"
Applejack and Pinkie joined the laughter as well. Discord took the bottles out.
Applejack turned and looked at Twilight Sparkle, "Aw, shucks, Twilight. We haven't even asked how your weekend went."
Twilight Sparkle sighed, "It was fine!"
"And yet you look so glum. Does somepony need a huggy-wuggy?" Discord taunted in amusement,
"I am not glum. I'm glad!" Twilight Sparkle insisted, "I'm glad you all had such a good time together. Having inside jokes can really create a lasting bond between friends."
"I'm just sorry that all this bonding happened while you were holed up in your castle."
Applejack smiled as she patted Discord, "Heh. Oh, don't you worry about Twilight. Bet you were in hog heaven organizin' all them books. Again."
"I'm sure I had just as much fun as the rest of you." Twilight Sparkle smiled in amusement.
At the Castle of Friendship's Meeting Chamber...
"I can't believe I missed out on all that bonding!" Twilight Sparkle complained as she was sitting on her chair.
Spike was chewing his rubies, "I knew it! You are jealous!"
Nyx nodded, "He does have the point about it."
"I'm the Princess of Friendship. I don't get jealous." Twilight Sparkle protested calmly, "I'm sorry I missed out because sharing that experience would've helped me with my Princess of Friendship duties!"
"Come again," Shadow Dragon asked.
"If our friends could enjoy three full days with Discord that much, it must have something to do with the specific things they did together!" Twilight Sparkle said thoughtfully, "If we could find out what those things were, it could be a real breakthrough in the science of friendship!"
"You're not planning something silly again, aren't you?" Spike asked in concern.
"She is," Nyx hissed.
Twilight Sparkle squealed happily, "This is gonna be so much fun!"
"Sure, it is," Lance remarked sarcastically.
"I can't join with you," Shadow Dragon said. Everyone looked at him. He gulped nervously, "I've got something else to do. I'll see you later. And Twilight, please don't do something stupid."
"Me? Please! I know what I'm doing," Twilight Sparkle said while rolling her eyes.
Shadow Dragon sighed, "That's what worries me."
On the next day, Twilight Sparkle gathered both family and friends at the park. She planned to recreate the event that Mane Five and Discord had enjoy for three days.
"Thank you for coming. I wouldn't have asked you here if it wasn't important." Twilight Sparkle said calmly, "I want to know how these funny moments you shared came to pass. I can use this data to help advance friendships all over Equestria."
"Well, I like the sound of that!" Applejack smiled of approval.
Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Rarity chatted and nodded in agreement.
"Perfect. Let's start with the snake." Twilight Sparkle instructed.
"It started when we were helping Granny Smith with her garden..." Discord began his story, "And then Rainbow Dash saw a snake!"
"I think it was a garden hose." Fluttershy insisted.
Rainbow Dash smirked, "It was a hose snake. Super deadly."
"I recall it bein' a large stick that looked like a hose that," Applejack added, "in turn, did in fact resemble a snake."
"Point is, we galloped away." Pinkie Pie exclaimed wildly and happily, "And it chased after us!
Lance gave his raised left-eyebrow, "Say what?"
"Is this some kind of joke?" Nyx asked in concern.
"We literally trotted for our lives. Isn't that hilarious?" Discord laughed happily, "I guess you had to be there."
"I do need to be there." Twilight Sparkle smiled. Pinkie Pie and Discord dressed as Marty McFly and Dr. Emmett Brown while posing in traveling back to time. She groaned, "Absolutely not! Time travel is not something to be messed with. We simply need to recreate everything that led to these jokes."
Discord smirked, "Oh, what a brilliant idea! Shall we begin with the lunch date that kicked off the glorious weekend you missed out on?"
Twilight Sparkle nodded in agreement. Discord and Mane Five led and guided Twilight Sparkle and her children to their beginning of inner jokes. Unknown to any of them, someone was spying on them, hiding behind the bushes.
"Time Travel? Hmm..." Mysterious Voice asked in amusement, "Could this be what Amon has been talking about? If it is, I can't wait to use it."
At the Fighting Arena...
Shadow Dragon grunted as he was beaten to the ground. He looked up and found stronger and bulkier than Bulk Biceps. He roared in anger as he stomped his hooves on Shadow Dragon, who rolled away and away from the strong armed stallion. As Shadow Dragon got up, he quickly jumped on the pole. As strong arm stallion charged straight at the Mystic General, the former jumped over and gave the latter a body slam to the ground hard. Shadow Dragon took the wrestler up and thrown him to the wrestling arena's ropes. As the wrestler got bounced back, Shadow Dragon gave the former a hard arm slam to the ground.
The crowds went wild again as they threw both bits and flowers at Shadow Dragon. Shadow Dragon held his right hoof up proudly.
Shadow Dragon was settling the bags of money on Dragoking's back. He was counting on the Equestria Bits. Nezha Vengito approached him again.
"I know you're hotheaded and spirited fighter, but-" Nezha chuckled a bit, "I'd never thought you'd be so greedy as the Cruez."
Shadow Dragon groaned, "Shut up. I have my own reason."
"Really? Struggled to fit in your new peaceful life? Secretly fighting with the martial artists and wrestlers at arena? Earning bits for yourself? What else reason you do have?"
"Like I said, I have my own reason."
Nezha scoffed, "Whatever. One day, you might get into a big fight, Shadow Dragon. And if that happens, what will your girlfriend say about this?"
Shadow Dragon stopped at once as he gave into his thoughts about what he should do with Twilight Sparkle and others if they learned about his involvement with fighting especially earning the bits. He sighed in defeat and calmly.
"That won't happen," Shadow Dragon said firmly, "Nothing will..."
Nezha smirked, "Let's hope so. Good luck for tomorrow night's fight. You're gonna need it. "
Nezha Vengito disappeared through the puff of smoke. Shadow Dragon remained silent for the moment while Dragoking growled in anger and annoyance. They both hated Nezha Vengito a lot but hated to admit it that he could be right about keeping secrets from Twilight Sparkle and her friends. One day, they might get into troubles sooner than later.
Twilight Sparkle and her friends were at the restaurant. They were sitting down on the red cloth table. Twilight Sparkle was writing down on her notes to find out of how and what makes Mane Five and Discord weekend so much interesting.
"Remember, One change to the equation could ruin the experiment," Twilight Sparkle said, "Alright, so you sat down at the table, and then what happened?"
Lance hummed, "She's really specific on her work, doesn't she?"
Nyx shrugged, "Well, that's her, alright. She loved everything to be exact and perfect but no mistakes. Hopefully, we don't go through the my mummy's panic wild mode again when she turned everyone into crazy loving ponies over Mr. Smartypants. It was very crazy."
"What?" Lance asked in surprise.
Spike chuckled in amusement, "It's a long and funny story."
Twilight sighed, "Can we get on it?"
"Certainly," Discord said in amusement.
Mane Five and Discord explained about what really happen last three days about their bonded weekend day, though they make several changes such as red tablecloth, cloud in ice-cream shaped, and even the soup at the right temperature until they reached to the part where Discord got his feet stuck on peanut butter bottles for dancing happily. Mane Five laughed happily for it while Twilight and her family were still confused and uncomfortable about it.
"No? Nothing?" Discord asked in surprise.
"Are you sure there's not something you've missed?" Twilight Sparkle asked uneasily.
"Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel we've been pretty exhaustive in our attempts to recreate every single detail of our previous encounter." Discord commented in tired manner.
Mane Five chatted and nodded in agreement.
Lance sighed, "I think it's best we forget about this. It's not really that important."
"He's right. And I'm tired too," Nyx yawned.
"But it is really important that I figure this out. It's for the good of all Equestria!" Twilight Sparkle insisted.
"Well, there is one last variable that we haven't accounted for." Discord said in concern before looking at Twilight Sparkle, "You!"
"Me?"
"You weren't there observing us. No matter how hard we try, we can't possibly recreate our weekend of fun exactly as it happened because you'll always be watching, and you weren't there."
Everyone sans Twilight Sparkle hummed in concern and thoughtfully of what Discord had said. He could be right. It was Twilight Sparkle's fault for not being there and even want to recreate the occurred event perfectly when everyone is done with it.
Discord added, "It has only served to prove that moments of levity and bonding between friends simply cannot be recreated so that others might share in the experience."
Lance hummed in concern, "Discord makes the point, I guess. If we wanna be there, we just have to be there before miss it."
"Yeah. Spend too much time on library," Spike remarked. Nyx gave him a glare. He yelped, "Just kidding! Just kidding!"
Nyx sighed, "I guess mummy's friends just enjoy their time with Discord. We just missed it."
"Oh, don't worry, darling. I'm sure there'll be plenty of other chances for you to share in the kind of-" Rarity giggled happily, "-frivolity we had with Discord while you were away."
"Yeah, and I'll bet they'll be just as hissssss-terical!" Rainbow Dash laughed happily.
Everyone laughed happily as they began walked away and returned to home. Discord gave a sly smirk as he walked pass Twilight Sparkle and her children. Applejack noticed his smirk. She turned to Twilight Sparkle who was looking down in sad. The cowgirl felt that she should comfort the princess since they're both close friends and sister-figures as well.
At Castle of Friendship on night time...
Twilight Sparkle was trotting around the library as she was thinking about Discord and Mane Five being friends. Lance, Spike and even Nyx were sleeping now. Shadow Dragon got into the chamber where he spotted his girlfriend was still thinking. He knew one thing - Twilight Sparkle refused to believe or even denying that she's jealous.
"Twilight? Are you alright?" Shadow Dragon asked.
"I'm not buying it. Not for a second. There is definitely something else going on here!" Twilight Sparkle muttered, "Even if I'm not able to laugh at what happened, I should be able to figure out why they find it funny. Why they think they had this amazing and hilarious time together. But I can't figure it out! It doesn't make sense!"
"Some things just can't be explained."
"Not to me. Our friends think something great happened to them while I was away, but no. It was something awful!"
"Twilight, I don't think that's really spell the reason."
"Spell?" Twilight Sparkle asked in realization She gasped, "If we don't break the spell they're under, who knows what terrible things could happen?!"
"Twilight, you're being ridiculous! Discord never used the spell on your friends. If he did, I would have sensed it."
"Maybe, you didn't. But I know it is! And I'm gonna prove it!"
"You want proof? Here it is! You're jealous of them for having fun without you! All this is just to cover your stupid denial to prove that you're always right!"
"No, I'm not! I just want to look after my friends!" Twilight Sparkle protested. Shadow Dragon huffed. She hummed suspiciously while glaring at him, "Then, what about you? What you've been up to after past five days? I don't supposed that you have something more interesting?"
"What are you talking about?" Shadow Dragon asked fearfully.
"Don't try to lie me. I sent message to your dad and other friends. They told me that you didn't visit them! And not to mention; I heard rumors that there was the champion won every fighting arena. You wouldn't be involved of it, didn't you?"
"What? me? Don't be ridiculous!"
"Just admit, mister, you like fighting than just peaceful life. That's why you get into fighting arena - all for the fight."
"No! That's not true!"
"Yeah, right. You may think about loving me and some peace and quiet but you were missing those glory days as the hero, didn't you?"
"Get over yourself, Twilight! You're the one who talk. Couldn't admit that you're jealous of your friends' hangout with Discord."
"Hey, I'm just being honest to myself and especially to you! You enjoy fighting and money than me!"
"You're crazy!" Shadow Dragon shouted.
Twilight Sparkle shouted back, "You're a liar!"
Shadow Dragon and Twilight Sparkle gave each other a glare for the moment. Shadow Dragon was the first to walk away, followed by Twilight Sparkle. He headed to his room while she headed out to find Zecora. Applejack noticed it as she sighed in concern about it. She had the bad feeling about this...
At Zecora's Hut...
"Zecora, what do you think? Can you undo Discord's magic?" Twilight Sparkle asked.
"In what way can you tell that they are indeed under a spell?" Zecora asked curiously as she was working on her
"They're having fun with Discord, that's why!"
"Ah. A friendship with Discord is truly a shock. But who says it is something that we must block?"
"Trust me, they would never laugh like that unless something magical was involved. It's not that funny. I know funny."
Zecora sighed as she passed the bottle of potion to Twilight Sparkle, "Alright. This potion will break the spell, then you will be able to tell."
Twilight Sparkle smiled in relief and happy. As she was about to turn, she found Applejack standing on the entrance.
"Applejack, what are you doing here?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Aren't you at home for resting and sleeping?"
Applejack sighed, "Twilight, I saw everything. And believe in me, what we did before is real and not spell. Discord really is our friend."
"Are you sure? Coz I still think Discord is behind it."
"Twilight, look at my eyes," Applejack said calmly. Twilight Sparkle looked at her gentle and calm eyes. She continued, "What do you see, Twi? Did you see I was under a spell? Did you see I would lie to my best friend after everything she has done for me and my home? Did you see me just to ignore helping you? Did you see me for not being honest?"
Twilight Sparkle looked closely at Applejack's eyes while thinking carefully. Her cowgirl friend shown to be firm, calm, caring and even honesty.
"No, you wouldn't," Twilight Sparkle said in defeat. She sighed, "You were right, Applejack. And I was wrong. I'm so sorry."
"It's okay, sugarcube. It's okay."
"I wasn't there. I missed out. And seeing you having all these jokes I wasn't a part of and couldn't understand made me..."
"Jealous?"
"No. The Princess of Friendship can't get jealous."
"Sure you can, Twilight, and none of me or our friends begrudge you for it. I'm sorry if me and girls made you feel left out."
"You didn't do anything wrong. You're allowed to share things that don't include me."
"And you're allowed to feel a little jealous about it. You just have to be able to admit it and not try to make us recreate everything that happened when you weren't around."
Twilight Sparkle giggled in amusement, "I guess you're right. So, we should head back and tell the girls how I feel."
Applejack smiled, "Ya, we better. We actually want you be there but Discord suggested not to. Next time, we bring you along."
"Wait? What?" Twilight Sparkle asked in shock. Applejack turned to her. She continued, "You want me to be there? Discord convinced you and others not to?"
"Well, yeah. He said not to disturb you because you were busy with your weekend. So, I don't see..." Applejack stopped as she realized what and why Twilight Sparkle was in shock. She remarked in anger, "Why that no good snake!"
Twilight hissed, "I know. I can't believe it either."
Zecora approached as she took the bottle away from Twilight Sparkle. She smiled a bit.
"If the joke is on you done by him, why not bring joke on him back? There's an old saying to return a favor to him - payback." Zecora said in amusement.
Twilight Sparkle and Applejack thought for the moment. They both realized of what Zecorad had said. They both turned and looked at each other. They both smiled. They're gonna like this plan.
In the early morning...
Shadow Dragon and Dragoking were walking across Ponyville Street. They have arrived at the fighting arena. Dragoking growled in concern while Shadow Dragon patted his pet gently.
"One last fight," Shadow Dragon said calmly, "Then, it'll be over."
Dragoking waited outside while howling proudly, Shadow Dragon entered the arena where everyone were cheering wildly and happily. He continued walking down the red carpet as he headed straight to the ring. He then spotted a familiar rival standing before him.
"So, you're my last opponent?" Shadow Dragon asked in shock.
Nezha smirked, "Yes. I've been waiting for a long time. It's time to find out why come back to fight during peaceful time."
"I'm not gonna tell you anything."
"I'll have to force you the hard way."
DING! Both Shadow Dragon and Nezha charged into the battle as they both fought very hard. The crowds went wild. The final showdown begins!
In the early morning at Castle of Friendship, Twilight Sparkle and Applejack called all of their friends and even children at the meeting chamber. They explained to theirs about what Discord did for the last six days. Mane Six and even three Sparkle Children nodded in agreement as they decide to trick him.
"Hi, Twilight! The gang mentioned we'd all be hanging out together today!" The familiar voice called. Everyone turned to meeting chamber's entrance. Twilight Sparkle gave Discord a glare. He continued while dancing in his peanut-butter bottles, "Yeah! The peanut-butter-hoof gang!"
Everyone remained silent for the moment while glancing at him. Discord was surprise as he thought they would like his joke.
"Is there something you wanna tell us?" Twilight Sparkle asked. Discord was confused. She continued, "Like why didn't you invite me to hangout?"
Everyone glared at Discord.
Discord chuckled uneasily while turned his mouth upside down, "You knew? Well, I didn't think that they should interrupt you. But now I see that we should have. Oh, I feel just terrible."
"You don't look like you feel terrible." Pinkie Pie remarked.
"You didn't suggest not inviting Twilight because you wanted to make her feel left out, did you?" Applejack demanded.
"Of course not. That whole jealousy thing was just a happy accident."
Discord chuckled as he pained his greenish paint on the art block of gentle Twilight Sparkle into angry and mad jealousy mare.
"Certainly we can all agree that Princess Twilight learned a valuable lesson here – that even she can have feelings of jealousy, that she should recognize said feelings rather than trying to pretend that she doesn't have them."
Twilight Sparkle and her friends gave Discord an annoying glare.
"Mm-hmm. Did I get the tiniest bit of glee out of watching her try to recreate our weekend of fun in the name of science? Oh, most definitely! But what's important here is that it was never my intent to make Twilight feel jealous. That's something that the old me would have tried to do."
Discord took an orange out and asked, "Orange you glad I've changed?"
Everyone remained silent for the moment while looking at him. Discord was in shock and concern. Why aren't they laughing at him?
"Orange! Like the ones at the Applejack farm! I-I mean, from this weekend!" Discord asked as the oranges fell. Everyone remained silent for the moment. He then transformed into a snake, "No? Nothing? Really? I thought you'd find this hisss-terical!"
"...Yes, no. Discord, I think these jokes have run their course." Rarity said in not amusement.
"Only way we'd find them funny now is if you put us all under some kind of spell!" Pinkie Pie joked.
Twilight Sparkle giggled, "Come on, you'd have to be a complete crazy pony to think he'd do something like that! What are you gonna say next, Pinkie? That we all have to drink some weird potion to break the spell?"
Everyone the laughed in amusement. It made Discord shock and confused about the jokes they make.
"I-I-I don't get it. Somepony want to tell me what's so hilarious? Anypony? Hello?!" Discord demanded. Everyone ignored him. He continued demanding as he shrunk himself into small figure, "I'm talking to you! You! And-and you and you! W-W-What's funny about spells? I mean, really, I don't get it, I feel left out and I feel really bad about that..."
"Sorry, buddy. Guess you had to be there." Spike remarked in amusement.
Lance chuckled, "Yeah. This one is hisss-terical!"
Nyx giggled happily, "Sounds familiar, Discord?"
Discord moaned in upset and disappointment as he looked down. An orange appeared before him. He grabbed it before looked up. He found Twilight Sparkle standing before him. She's actually forgiving him.
Discord magically appeared in his normal size as he hugged all the ponies. They all laughed happily and hysterically about the joke and fun they had. They were relief of it.
"Now, that's done. There's someone I owe to apologize," Twilight Sparkle said calmly.
Everyone turned and glared at her. What did she do this time?
Twilight and her friends arrived at the fighting arena where they saw the crowds went wild for the fight. Dragoking was outside watching the event since he's too big to fit in. They even found Shadow Dragon and Nezha Vengito fought each other fiercely and determinedly.
Nezha gave a swift kick on Shadow Dragon, who dodged down while rolling to the front. Nezha turned and gave a thrust punch on Shadow Dragon, who quickly gave the kick on the Ultimate Mystic Warrior's face hard. They both fell to the ground hard. They both got up at once before charged at once. Both swung and struck punches and even giving a swipe kick at each other while blocking and dodging them for few times. They then launched at each other's faces very hard before they got pushed aside very hard. Both charged again but got clashed as they held each other's hooves.
"I see you haven't lose your touch," Nezha remarked in amusement, "It could have make me bore to death. It will be glory for me to taste of your defeat."
Shadow Dragon groaned, "Too bad. I'm not here for glory!"
Nezha and Shadow Dragon charged at once as they both punched and kicked at each other fiercely. As they were about to make another punch, Shadow Dragon dodged down before gave Nezha an uppercut before kicked his chest off hard. Nezha grunted as he dropped to the ground. Shadow Dragon charged in as he rammed his rival hard to the ground. Nezha moaned and groaned painfully.
The crowds went wild as they all threw all the bits and flowers at Shadow Dragon. He breathed heavily as he waved at them.
Nezha scoffed as he slowly get up, "So, you've won? What will you do next for your reason?"
"I have my own reason," Shadow Dragon answered as he collected the bits from the manager. He walked all the way up to the stairs. He found Twilight Sparkle and her friends standing before him. He sighed, "Finally got over your silly pride."
Twilight Sparkle nodded, "Yeah, I did. And I'm sorry too. You were right about me. I was nearly doing something stupid. I was lucky to have someone be there for me. Applejack deserved it."
Shadow Dragon nodded in understanding, "Yeah. And I'm sorry too for the argument and hiding the secrets that I'm bored with peaceful life. I'm a warrior who lived to fight."
"I know. But why do you need the money for?" Twilight Sparkle asked.
Shadow Dragon smiled, "Oh, you're gonna love this one."
Twilight and her friends were filled with surprise, shock yet amaze. Nezha Vengito worn the disgust and disappointed looks before he disappeared through the black smoke. Shadow Dragon was passing some bags of money to a few orphanages. Dragoking played with the fillies and colts playfully and happily. The managers and caretakers thanked him happily for charity and donation.
Shadow Dragon returned to the group, who remained silent for the moment. He smirked, "What do you think?"
Twilight Sparkle smiled, "It's great. But seriously, fighting arena to earn the bits?"
"Hey, I'm the warrior. I lived for the fighting, even though I enjoy peace."
"I guess I can't argue with that. But please, no more lying again?"
"No more lying. Promised," Shadow Dragon nodded.
Twilight Sparkle and Shadow Dragon hugged happily and passionately. Everyone awed happily as they were glad to see the couples are back together again.
