When Twilight Sparkle was given an invitation to a special event hosted by Discord, she was more than a little apprehensive. However, despite her best judgement, she decided to attend for the sake of being a good friend for the reformed Draconequus.
However, when she arrives, she realizes two very big things that Discord has done for this "party"...
One: Twilight is the only pony here.
And Two: There are quesadillas everywhere.
EVERYWHERE
I want to give a special thanks to my Boo Storm Butt for proofreading this for me.
Chapters (1)
This was great; the jokes escalated well and the character writing was spot-on. How do you not have 15 likes yet?
Well that was just cruel.
And kind of hilarious.
This is... this is...
This is amazingly written. Like, I was honestly not expecting the influx of cheese, and I was as surprised as Twilight was. Very well done, and thank you so much for not spoiling it in the title/short description.
This was great on so many levels.
It gave a believable answer for her fear of Quesadillas.
Jokes about Quesadillas.
And so many Quesadillas!
For a second I thought this would veer into crackfic territory. Thankfully it didn't and remained quite enjoyable all the way through.
What happened to the quotation marks there?

I fixed it. Thanks for the head's up!
You really hit discords personality in a way that most people can't quite manage. most people would see this as somewhat cruel, but to discord, it seems the best way to help a friend get over her fears, while still getting a few good laughs in, which is how I see discord post-tirek
Fuck me. I just get off work from Taco Bell, and the first story I click on is Twilight going to a party with quesadillas. It's like Taco Bell wants to influence me at every facet of my life.
*sigh* I guess I'll read it. Here we go!
We need a Discord emote, so that way we can use it in the comments of this hilarious story.
Discord, forced by Celestia to go apologize, goes to knock on Twilight's door.
The Twilight that opens the door has turned stark white and her hair has metamorphosed into flame, while her eyes glow a deep, malevolent red.
Discord: "Oh, shit."
Shouldn't have put them in her room, Discord.
(Also, he shouldn't have tried that level of shock therapy. Slow, steadily increasing exposure over a period of time is what you need to do to fix phobias. "Sink or swim" attempts tend to just embed the trauma deeper. I'm pretty sure you can see how.)
Discord, you magnificent bastard.

This characterization of Discord just fits so well with my own mental image of him; Taking things just seriously enough, but without sacrificing the humor and sarcastic wit we all love him for.
Bringing in Celestia during the end was a nice touch too. I like the idea of them working together to solve problems that arise, each tackling it in their own way.
And that last line,
That really had me rolling on the floor.
Man reading about quesadillas made me hungry lol
Nice story, had me laughing XD
Nice to see I'm not the only one who thought Twilight might have a basis for her fear of quesadillas.
Oh THAT was hilarious! I was rolling at the last part!
Oh, Discord, you troll.
May I do a reading on this? :3
I see what you wanted to do with this, and it is a completely fine example because it involves conquering, but the best example of change within Twilight that she also thought she couldn't and wouldn't change would be her social life.
She technically had a fear, somewhat, of having friends, though it's more a distaste for it. She doesn't see the reason for having friends. But after one very long night, she ended up having a group of friends. Over time, she went from socially inept to nearly a social butterfly. Hell, she went from having an aversion to friendship to becoming the PRINCESS of Friendship. If you want to talk about something Twilight thought she couldn't change, that's definitely the leading example.
But that's just my two bits.
Why would Discord be against things that are irrational?
Okay, this was pretty fun. Silly and harmless. One minor gripe: enough with calling Twilight "the Alicorn." We know what she is. Once is excusable; anytime after that is just silly.
I laughed too hard
This is totally something I can see Discord pulling.
Which makes this story all the more amazing.
6299672
Yesssss, young padawan. Embrace the cheese.
6299681
Well, if this story were written in Twilight's perspective, I can imagine the uncontrollable shakes of fear, the feeling of claustrophobia as she's surrounded by quesadillas with no escape. I can imagine how terrifying it might be for someone that truly had a clinical fear of quesadillas, but . . .
That's not this story. This is a funny story that points out the ludicrousy of fearing quesadillas while also bringing to light that it isn't that irrational at all due to the circumstance. It might be wrong if this were to happen in real life, but this is fiction, my friend. I assure you that Twilight's going to be fine one you watch another episode of My Little Pony.
That was great and extremely funny. I feel i should try this on my friend although he might kill me
6298936 Cruelarius!
Hehehe Gotta love discord sometimes. I can see where hes coming from. and it amusing that he actually got her to open up. and the part with the bedroom is a nice touch.
Peaches, pancakes, and quesadillas. It's like the fan community and the show creators are competing for how many food-related Twilight Sparkle memes they can start.

He wants things to be irrational FOR him. He knows that beyond a certain lack of rationality is actually bad for others
s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/1c/c5/0f/1cc50f52f12f58e6a4e55116e99918ae.jpg
All of the cheese.
Okay, I can see Discord doing this, cause he's an asshole, but Celestia!? That was just unnecessarily cruel, especially for her.
6302668 lol you know its been awhile since i completed that quest line and i never and still not have recieved my cheese all i got was a staff that stops time for a couple seconds and the throne.....im still waiting on that cheese
6302997 Trade it to discord for unlimited cheese
Yeah okay, I loved the hell out of this. But just like everyone else, this made me hungry, now I have to go make a quesadilla, and luckily I have some pepperjack just for such an occasion.
I wonder if you meant "Bro" instead of "Boo" in the description.
6303261 Nope! I meant Boo~ (as in Boyfriend)
6301291
Exactly. It would be irrational for him to want things not to be irrational, so he does just that.
Anyone else never heard of quesadillas before that episode? When that joke went up, I thought: "Huh? Some kind of armadillo? With cheese?"
Then I googled it, and made myself some.
6303339
The fact that you didn't know about quesadilla's is funny to me
6304063
On the other paw, it is funny for me how you have never heard of Kässpätzle.
Discord:
SHIT!
I was just thinking about writing a story about Twilight vs Quesadillas on the way to work today! Then I check the latest of the trending stories, and see this!
*Fumes silently in the corner, forlegs crossed over his chest and flicking tail in annoyance... then adds to his 'read ;ater' list anyway*
i think I'll still do my idea. Just... darn. Was hoping I'd be the first one to it.
You can replace "quesadilla" With anything else and it's still amusing. Things like 'deodorant sticks', 'pants', or even 'hipsters with obscure band tshirts'!
Just reading this gave me constipation. All that cheese, I'd be scared shitless.
*sees this is the #1 story right now*
You're welcome.
6304814
That joke was cheesy and in horrible taste.
6304814
B-but... you said you're constipated! How could you be "shit-less" and constipated at the same time?
Pinkie Pie has already broke logic, you can't go around breaking it even more!
6302779
Hmm, not necessarily. That's a generalization that doesn't fit even the majority.
This fic made me hungry. I want a quesodilla sooooooooooo bad right now.
It also made me literally lol and even d'awww a bit. Poor traumatized Twi. Too bad this exposure therapy made things worse... Or, at least, will make things worse for a certain draconequus!
Yay I laughed at a story today
fimfiction needs more stories like this
Very entertaining and well written!
One additional point that Discord could have made was along these lines:
Discord contemplated the cowering alicorn in front of him for a moment, then sighed. "Look, Twilight. Both of us know that if there was a rampaging giant flying quesadilla threatening to consume Rainbow Dash, you would barely hesitate before coming to her aid." He then looked thoughtful. "Actually, that would be easy enough to arrange."
This was met with a furious glare from Twilight.
"But what's happening right now is different", he continued. "It's so much harder for you to come to your own aid instead of everybody else's. Now why is that, do you think?"
