“Discord, what are you doing here?” Celestia stood up from the throne as the Draconequus walked over. The strangest thing was he was wearing a suit, business glasses, holding a briefcase, and had a small filly following him dressed in similar attire. Discord pushed his glasses up slightly, and held out a stack of papers.
“This is a list of reforms and changes which will effectively half the amount of paperwork you have to do, and quarter the amount Luna will have to do. I could have offered you the quarter, but considering how jealous Luna can get, I opted to give it to her.” Discord waited as Celestia scanned the documents, and her wings went limp with shock.
“B-B-But, you’re Discord!” Celestia blinked, feathers poofing, and fell to the floor like a statue. Hearing her slam, Luna opened the door, diving toward her and defending her from Discord. Discord sighed, and explained the situation calmly and logically, holding out a set of papers for Luna.
Same reaction.
“So, my dear assistant, what do you suppose we do now?” Discord raised an eyebrow at Sweetie, who pushed her fake glasses up and smiled. Pulling out a set of documents of her own, she handed them over, and Discord smiled.
“Oh I do love when things work in my favor. Er, I mean. Ah yes, this is most adequate. Good work Miss Belle.” Discord coughed, and glanced to the side. Snapping his fingers, he levitated the princesses back up off the ground, and gently woke them from their shock.
“Alternatively, if you do not wish to do any paperwork, sign these papers that will make me the ruling monarch of Equestria.” Discord waited as they blinked, and Celestia burned them quickly, pulling up her set of notes. Coughing, she glanced to Luna.
“No uh, we think your reforms are most welcome, we are just shocked that they are coming from you Discord.” Celestia glanced to Luna, who gave a confused shrug. No, none of them had any clue what Discord was doing. Discord bowed, took Celestia’s hoof, and gently kissed it.
“Please, call me Order. I have reformed, after all.” Discord glowed brightly, and transformed into a less jumbled looking dragon. He was still sporting a beard, of course. Celestia and Luna shared a glance, blinked, and fainted.
“Oh dear, I ponder if this might be too much for them.” Discord poofed back into his normal form, and folded his arms, pursuing his lip. Sweetie giggled, and Discord let a small smile fall on his face. Sure, this filly reminded him of an old wizard that had tried to use him to power a spell, but he could see she was still a kind soul.
If only she was just a little more chaotic, then he could show her how to use chaos magic. Sure, being this filly’s object of entertainment for a loop was far from a fitting role in his opinion. And not to mention the disgusting magic swaggering around her sickened him. But it wasn’t like it hurt him to allow this filly to live out her pranks, especially when they were very good ones.
Now if only he could murder that wizard.
Whyyyyyyyy
another skip i had such high hopes when I saw that there was a new chapter, wait there's a second new chapter
5645093 Better that than no chapter.
'sigh'
Man, WHY U DO DIS
Sweeties Diary:
Hello Diary. (and sweetie, when you read this later)
Pinkie here.
So I have been hearing from the readers that "the author" is having some trouble coming up with some good pranks.
well... why not ask the readers for more pranks? or me?
Im good at pranks.
got to go now, sweetie is coming back... she dosn't like it when I read her diary, let alone write in it.
BYE =^__^=
5645298 Umm... Why are there downvotes on this comment?
5648106 I agree ask the readers for ideas and pinkie lol
...seriously? Again?
Look, don't plan chapters you have no idea how to write. Seriously
5660260 It honestly doesn't make any sense to me. Why would the author plan a chapter that they don't desire/know how to write?
You know Celestia, after living for all those years I would've thought that nothing could shock you enough anymore to make you faint.
So... That last line. Foreshadowing much?
5670977 Oh! The tense!
Chaos Magic?
Alright! We learned quite a few things now.
1) The wizard so called "the bearded" is still alive.
2) The magic sweetie is absorbing sickens Discord reason why he generally stays away from her.
3)Discord effectivly lied to sweetie from left to right for some reason.
4)Discord wants and can't kill the bearded wizard for some reasons.
5)Discord would like to teach Sweetie Chaos magic, (possibly so that she can do #4 for him)
6)Stawirl the bearded tryied to use Discord to power an unidentified spell. (key word here is try)
Also
The Discorded version of Discord, Order! Lord of laws, regregulations and everything boring yay!

1) Maybe he just wished that the wizard were alive so he could have the pleasure of killing him himself.
2) no problems here
3) the lord of chaos? lying? what mad thinking is this?
4) again, I have yet to see anyone kill the already departed.
5) agree again, but not due to 4)
6) I think it was something about either a time spell, or turning starswirl into an alicorn... although that might have been from another fan fic.

It was mentioned in a different chapter that the creation of Discord was one of Starswirl's attempts to get out of his time loop. I don't remember if it was the one that worked or not.
5673442 No that was the lie.
5673131 Well instead of arguing about wich is more likely I guess we will just have to wait and see, however I just would like to point out that this chapter ended in that line as if it was a cliffhanger rather ominously. So I would still keep a lookout for #1 and #4
Also about number six keep in mind that if we assume that the bearded is still alive after so many hundreds of years and that we have no idea of how then the possibilities are endless.
He could have used his mighty super magic to not only travel to the future out of the loops but hundreds of years until the present, then started another time loop using Sweetie and then wiped out her memory, so that he could live for one week loops forever instead of six hours. This would be possible if we assume that his faith is to eventually go back to the morning after his time loop to die in front of the royal sisters.This would also explain why he would know why Sweetie is looping.
-he could also have become an ethereal being, or he could have faked his death all that time, or he did get out of the loops by transferring his mind to another's body and he has been doing that for centuries.
so as I said the possibilities are endless...
This is very important information for #6 because the attempt of using Discord stop being limited to the time he was tramped inside the loops. Because is possible that the attempt happened sometime in the hundreds of years in between his loop and the present and if that is the case then his reasons for wanting use Discord for either his power or chaos magic properties through all that time also become endless.

OMG HE'S STILL ALIIIIIIIIVE
The time loop is a spell of order! Discord is change right? Well this spell prevents change! That's why the magic is so disgusting to him!
5654084 because idiots downvote stuff randomly
I'm reading this through right now, and wanted to leave my hypotheses here. Our antagonist and Sweetie's sometimes benefactor is star swirl. The only way to end the looping is to create an immortal being. Star figured out how to make himself an entity like discord was, and is using sweetie to force her into making him an immortal body.
The question is why sweetie? I'm gonna bet it's because she's resilient, and would stay sane long enough to do it.
I hope that Discord does teach Sweetie chaos magic and at the end she is so OP that when the Elements are having trouble she can just walk in, easily defeat the villan, and then say a one-liner or something.
6299593 but how would star swirl know that? There's probably dozens of others out there just as resilient as sweetie. Also, this is the same idea I had. And tbh, if this is the case. Star Swirl is a fucking dick.

Well this is a timeline in which he went insane, before entering a time loop.
