Chapter 17 ; A Banquet To Remember

Author's Note:

So,here is Chapter 17!
(Long I know)
📖📖📖📖

“So I have this question…”Twilight said.

“Is it about chaos and order nature?Egghead?”Rainbow asked.

“STOP calling me like that!” Twilight protested.
“And no!It isn’t about that!”

“Then what is it?” Rarity also curious asked.

“How are we going to tell the others about Arrist?”

“Oh,that!Yeah might faint from that...” Discord replies.

“I wonder how’s Spike telling Starlight about Arrist!”Applejack wonders.

Rainbow face hoofed herself at that.

“Oh,shoot...” Applejack murmurs

“You TOLD Spike about my sister!?” He said with disbelief.

“He eavesdropped!”Rarity corrected.

“So one day I asked you to not tell anypony for at least a little time!And ten minutes after I told you no, Spike already knows!”He annoyed repeated.
“That’s your logic ponies!?”

“I dunno where did he learned that from!Hehe...” Twilight awkwardly laughed.

“Technically speaking,Spike is a dragon so that doesn’t count as anypony!”Pinkie defended.

“Damn it!You have a point!”

“Who is Starlight?Oh right your pupil,”Arrist remembered.

“Yep!And I wonder how he is doing…”

Meanwhile at Twilight’s castle

The sun was in the sky,shining as brightly as it did everyday.
The castle brightened as the sun rays were beaming at the windows and reflected light inside the castle too.

Spike was all alone in the dining room,waiting for Starlight to appear and have breakfast.He was nervous of how to tell her the news about Discord’s sister.
‘She might faint from that!’ He thought.

“Hey Spike!”

“Ah!Good morning Starlight!” He greeted with a forced smile.

“So...where is Twilight?Oh right,at the breakfast banquet,remembered,so how did you sleep?”
She asked while she sat on the chair and helped herself a plate of food.

“Em..fine..well actually no!”

“Oh why?Were you thinking of something?”She questioned.

“Emm,look, there is something I need to tell you...”

“Oh really what is it?”

“Remember when Twilight told you about Discord’s problem?”

“Em,yes,what's that have to do with?”

“Well,they figured it out.And I still can’t believe it myself!”

“Come on it can’t be that unbelievable!” She joked.

“Oh it is!”

“Well what is it?”

“Well Discord,emm,oh HOW am I supposed to TELL you!You are going to faint!”

“Come on just say it!I am not going to faint!”

“Emm I...I,”He was sweating,he was going to tell it or not?

“Come on just-”

“DISCORD HAS A SISTER!”

Silence.
It seemed like the bird’s cheerping suddenly stopped,without warning,everything stopped and silenced,the sound of their own breaths clearly soundable.

“A what now?”She disbelieving broke the silence to ask.

“Em,”

“Say it.Again,slowly,”She demanded.

“Discord.Has.A.Sister,”He repeated slowly.

“WHAT!?”She screamed.
”He has a what!?A SISTER!?”She continued.

“I know! I can’t chew this up,but,I even met her!”

“You MET HER!?The master of chaos’s sister!?Our Discord’s sister!?”

“Yep!”

“I can’t believe it!
And you are telling me this NOW!
How could you?
How could hehide it from us!?”

“It’s a long story...” He warned.

“I am WILLING to hear it!” She angrily replied

“Welp,you're not going to like this!”

Spike started to talk and Starlight was still sitting,eating her breakfast while also listening.

After explaining everything to Starlight

“Wow!Really?” She asked sad.

“Yep!Tragic backstory,I know,”

“So,that’s why he wasn’t himself the past few days?And that’s how he became a villain in the first place?”

“Yeah..sad really,but someone must admire their willingness to not give up,”

“Really now!No wonder why he became a crazy tyrant in the first place!Those ponies kinda deserved those pranks that him and her pulled on them!”

“Yep!Back then everyone was really for themselves,”

“Get up,” She orders.

“What for?”He asked.

“We will pay a visit to Discord,”She answered.

“Wait..Can you teleport us there?”

“Yep,I think so.Remember when Pinkie was trapped in Discord’s dimension?”

“Yes...who doesn’t!”

“Well I think I remember what exactly I did to get them into his dimension.I might get us there too,”

“Are you sure we are not going to pop around all across the land?”He asked.

“I did this only once!And trust me!Well I hope...Now let’s go!” She said and then her horn lit up with magic,then;

‘POOF’

They wereoutside Discord’s house in the familiar dimension.

“WOW!You did it!” He exclaimed surprised.

“Well I teleported six individuals here so...that makes more sense for me to teleport us!”She replied.

“So...who knocks?” He asked.
While they were walking to the doorstep.

“Maybe you should!Because I brought as here,so you knock on that door!”She suggested pointing to the door.

“Fair,’gulp’,I don’t know what crazy prankwill appear!”He told.

“Oh come on! It’s literally morning!I don’t think Discord is up for a prank in the mornings!”She guesses.

“Then why do you want me to knock the door?”With a small victorious smile he snaps.

“Shut up and knock the damn door,”She tells coldly.

“So I win,”

“Just knock it!I want to meet his sister,is she scary?” She asked.

“Nuh..Maybe at first you get a bit freaked out,but you get used to her,besides she is more normal looking than Discord!”He answered.

“Really?Well now I can’t wait!Knock already!”She demanded.

Then;

‘KNOCK-KNOCK’

“Who is it?” Fluttershy asked.

“Are you expecting someone?”Arrist also asked.

“Nope!”He replies to their questions with an unknowing tone.

‘KNOCK-KNOCK’

“I’m coming,being that I don’t know who you are!”

He walked to the door and opened to see Starlight and Spike.

“Good morning Discord!”They both said nervously.

“What the..Spike,Starlight?But of course!You already know!”He told annoyed.

“Of course we know!And I can’t believe you have a sister!How much older is she?Is she more powerful?You think that I would miss the chance of meeting your sister?!”

“Ah,girls,fine come in!” He nodded them and they entered inside.

“Wow,your house isn’t that unusual!” Spike realized.

“Oh it’s just like that when it’s morning.Wait for afternoon and then you’ll see!” He informed.

“WELL,everyone!We have two unexpected guests!”He announced.

“Spike, Starlight?”The six mares confusingly said.

“Oh hi Spike!You must be Starlight Glimmer,nice to meet you!”Arrist greeted.

“So..that’s your sister...”She said interested.

“Yep!And you missed a touching moment you two!Where we both two confessed feelings and cried as much as someone wouldn’t expect!”He said cheerfully.

“Yep!Touching moment!” Pinkie agreed.

“Come on, sit,” He offered.

They both accepted the offer and sat next to the two siblings.

“Starlight,Spike what are you two doing here?” Twilight leaning to their side, asked whispering.

“You simply think that I would miss the chance of meeting his sister?
Well clearly you don't know me so well after all!”She replied.

“Ahem,”Twilight coughed.

“Hehehe no offence!” Spike added.

“So you are emm,sorry I didn't get your name?”Starlight asked.

“‘Sight’ You won’t be the first one to ask these days,”She joked.
“Arrist,”

“Oh nice name!Starlight,but you already know!”She told.

“Indeed,I have heard about you and also how you,Trixie,King Thorax and Discord saved the Changeling Kingdom without magic at all! Impressive...” She admitted.

“Thanks!”

“Do you want to ask any questions?I know you want it,”She predicted.

“Well,I want to ask;how come you are the older one and not Discord,or why weren’t you both born like babies,or why he was born like a baby and you weren’t?So…?”Starlight asked.

“Well,we really have the same question!”She replied.

“Something to do with order being more powerful than chaos I guess,”Discord added.

“So wait...You are more powerful than Discord?” She asked.

“Technically speaking I can’t bend reality as much as him but,I have more magical energy since order is more noticeable and all that...”

“Wow!So there is someone more powerful than him besides the girls!Wow,now I want to know Discord;
if you had to choose between the girls turning you into stone or facing your sister while she is mad at you who would you choose?” She asked.

“...”

“Em,Starlight,you’re not supposed to ask such questions,”Fluttershy lectures her.

The other five and Spike,slap their hooves on their foreheads.

“What?I always wanted to know,was it really that bad?”
She turns to his side to find him in an emotionless,kind of nostalgic look someone could describe.

“Why yes,Starlight Glimmer,it was bad,you know what?
It wasn’t bad,it was torturing…”He replies with a rising voice.
“I was left,to rot,Starlight,for a thousands years,it isn’t a very ‘kind punishment’,you know,Tartarus itself is a playground compared to being encased in stone,you have the very nerve to ask this kind of question?
Dozens of generations or even more passed before my eyes,I saw ponies playing,laughing,enjoying the good weather,while I was unmoving and speechless,you know how it feels like?
To know that a stupid mistake,cost you your freedom...
You have the very NERVE STARLIGHT!?”
He screams with a tear shedding his eyes.

“D-D-Discord,I-I didn’t mean to-”

“To what!?To remind me what kind of MONSTER I am!?
You think before you say something Starlight,just think of the stupidity in your question!’Huff’,what is worse;
BOTH ARE BAD! I don’t want to ever have to fight my sister again,I would break Starlight,I hurt her once ,I don’t want to do that again!Just,fighting your own blood is painful…
And of course I wouldn’t survive a minute in that stone prison,especially now;to fight my friends Starlight,never,I’d rather be turned back than fight with them!Oh,and if I were to be turned back,
it would turn me insane,it would twist my personality and make me a corrupted version of myself that would think killing is FUN!”

Starlight looked down in shame and sadness
‘Stupid…’She thinks.

Discord takes a deep breath,calming himself but then realised what he had said and how he made Starlight feel about herself.

“S-S-Starlight,I-I’m s-sorry,it’s just ;
I can’t help to look back at my marble memories and be calm at the same time,I’m sorry it wasn’t your fault,”
He apologises with his claw on his forehead.

“No,I shouldn’t have brought that up,I’m sorry too,”

“It’s alright,but,just don’t bring that up,okay?”

“Okay,deal,” She says with a small smile.
“Amd again sorry,” She adds.
“Can you forgive me?”

“Only if you forgive me,” He replies with a small chuckle.

“Okay,so enough with sad stuff,when do you think we’ll tell the others?”Rainbow asked.

“Well...if you don’t mind,Celestia and Luna told me to tell them as soon as we find out anything so…?”Twilight awkwardly asked them.

“Sure...Tell them even right now if you want it!” He joked.
”I am so happy that I got my sister back!”He said as he hugged her with his one arm.

“Me too,little brother,”.

“So,Spike;write a letter” Twilight demanded.

“What NOW!?”

“Yes,huh,long time I didn’t said those words...”She realized with a nostalgic look.

“Oh fine,scroll,quill and ink if you can,someone!?”Spike asked.

“Sure thing!” Arrist then appeared the said items beside him.

“Thanks!”

“Now,how am I going to tell it to them?”

“Maybe tell it more slowly and not right away?”Fluttershy suggested.

“Or just tell it right away!Discord has a sister!” Rainbow told otherwise.

“NO!Do you want them to faint!?” Applejack asked.

“No,more nicely and have a prologue with information about chaos and order nature perhaps?”Rarity told.

“Why won’t tell it in person?Better to tell it face to face than in a scroll!”Discord exclaimed.

“You know...you're right!Maybe we should make a dinner with them perhaps?”Twilight asked.

“Maybe just a simple meeting,it doesn’t have to be that formal,they will be far than just surprised when they learn about me,”Arrist suggested.

“I think it’s better like you said Arrist.So...I simply invite them to tell them face to face then!Spike start writing,”Twilight said.

“Ahem,” She coughed
”Dear Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, me and the girls have figured out what is,emm how am I supposed to say it guys?”She asked.

“Troubling Discord?” Fluttershy suggested.

Spike started writing the two words.

“And we decided that it is better to tell you this kind of information in person,like Discord told,so we all invite you for an informal meeting at my castle.So how I continue?”

“Em,I dunno you guys?” Rainbow asked.

“Oh!Maybe;
There will be also another guest that you would like to meet with.Me the girls,Spike,Discord,and Starlight will all be there to introduce you three,but,I should inform you that you might get surprised?”Fluttershy suggested.

“Already wrote it!” Spike chirped.
“And what else?”He continued.

“When you have a free evening I would like you to inform me and then I will arrange everything for our meeting,”Rarity told.

“Your friend and co-princess,Twilight Sparkle,” Twilight ended.

“And..ready!”He then burned the letter and send it to the princesses.

“Wow,that way you sent the letter was amazing,you sent letters like that all the time?”Arrist comments.

“Yep!”His answer.

“Well,that was a pretty formal letter in my opinion,but anyways,shall we then presume chatting and eating and everything else,” Discord suggested.

“Yep,”
They all answered,as Spike and Starlight were talking to Arrist and the others were eating,chatting and all that.

Meanwhile at The Canterlot Castle

“Alright then,one last page and I am done!”
Celestia exclaimed as she finished to sign some paperwork about boring political staff.
“DONE!” She said as she placed the papers besides her.

“Good morning,dearest sister,” Luna greeted cheerful as she entered the throne room.

“Luna?Aren’t you supposed to be resting?” Celestia asked.

“Well,yes but last night wasn’t really hard,so I am not tired at all” She explained.
”Aren’t you supposed to be in some diplomatic meetings or anything like that?”She asked.

“Nope!I only had some paperwork!We finally have our two weeks off,remember? “She replied.

“Oh right!So how do you think we should spend that week?”

“Well..I thought maybe we could finally have some sister-bonding time,well,besides Starlight swapping our cutie marks!”

They both started to laugh at the mention of that.

“Yep,never let anypony switch our cutie marks again,already added it on my not-to-do-it list,”
Luna joked.

Then a bright light appeared and a scroll was in front of Celestia.

“From whom it is from?” Luna asked.

Celestia opened the scroll.

“It’s from Twilight” She started to read it
”She says that she and the girls have figured what’s wrong with Discord,”She said.

“Well what is his supposed to be problem?”Luna asked.

“Well,she says that,huh,to tell us this kind of information in person?” She replied.

“What?Really?That serious?”Luna asked a bit worried.

“I guess,she also writes that,there will be another guest besides the six of them,Spike,Discord and Starlight..?”She confusingly told.

“Wonder who might be...” Luna asked curious.

“She asks when we have a free evening,”She ended.

“Hmm,how about tomorrow?I am not scheduled for anything,you?”Luna suggested.

“Me neither,guess tomorrow,but I really am more interested in seeing that guest,”Celestia said.

“Me too,but,who could that be?” Luna asked.

“I have no idea,”

“So tomorrow at 6 is good for them?”Luna asks.

“Alright then,”She told as she made a scroll,a quill and a ink appear.

‘Dear Twilight Sparkle,Me and my sister are pretty surprised at your invitation.We hope it’s not something to worry about,we are free tomorrow evening at six,so we guess that will be the right time.Also,might tell us who that ‘guest’ is?And why would we be very surprised?I don’t think that you would describe as a guest someone that we don’t know!Hope again that it’s not something serious,Love,Princess Celestia and Luna’
She wrote and then teleported it to the receiver,meaning Spike!

“Alright then!Now that this is settled,might join me for breakfast?”Luna asked.

“Of course!”Celestia replied

”And don’t look at my dreams,”She added.
“I know that you do,”

“I’ll try to resist!” Luna replies.

As they both walked out of the throne room to the dining room

At Discord’s dimension

‘BLURP!’Spike blurped and then had a scroll appear from his fire.

“Wow!She replies fast!”Arrist remarks.

“Well what does it say?”Discord asked.

“They say if tomorrow afternoon at six is good?Anyone busy?”Spike answered.

“Nope,nothing tomorrow!”Applejack replied.

Everyone agreed.

“Alright then and,ah,they ask who the guest is!”Spike added.

“Well,write that they are going to find out tomorrow,it’s for the best,”Arrist told.

“Agreed,” Rarity said.

“Alright and...done!”He,again,teleported the scroll back.

“So...who’s up for a board game?”Pinkie asked.

“A board game...For like ten individuals?”Twilight asked.

“I have one!” Discord told.

“Sure!” Rainbow told.

They all then finished their breakfast and headed to the living room.

“Yeah this house is,em,interesting! To say the least,” Arrist realized while eyeing the living room.

“My roof,my rules dearest sister,”He replies.

“Of course,” Fluttershy rolled her eyes.

“I have one question!” Pinkie asked.

“What is it?”Rarity told.

“I’ll come back in a moment!”
She then went into the stairs that led to Discord’s bedroom.

“Huh?” They all said confused.

She then returned with the box that Discord showed them the other day.

“You still have it?” Arrist asked.

“Well...it’s a reminder...” He answered sheepishly.

“Ooh and..”She then ran back the stairs and brought.

“This music box!”She exclaimed.
“You still have it!” Arrist said joyfully while lifting the music box.

“Well,as I told they were the closest things to you...and the only thing that reminded me that I have a sister”He replied.

She looked at him happily and ready to cry.

“You still have that music box that I gave you when you were a kid,do you still..”

“Play it sometimes,of course.I can barely sleep without hearing that music,”

“That music box is like a lullaby or anything like that?”Rainbow asked while holding the music box.

“It’s beautiful by the way,”Fluttershy comments.
“I remember seeing it yesterday with the others,it’s really beautiful Arrist,”

“Thanks,”Arrist replies

“Can you play it?I want to hear!” Twilight asked.

“Sure,” Discord then turned the key behind.

A simple note of music started to play,that of a lullaby

“Wow,it’s beautiful” Rarity said.

“I used to sing him a lullaby when he was a kid,and that music box was,well,my music let's say,”

“Aww,that’s so cute!And...I want to ask about the bracelets,”
Pinkie said and picked the bracelets.

“Oh,the bracelets!Now I remember those!”Arrist exclaimed as she picked one.

“Yeah they’re pretty!Who made it?” Pinkie asked.

“Me!”Arrist replied.

“Really?They are so pretty and shiny!Might teach me how to make those?” Pinkie asked.

“Of course! Anything,and..it will be fun teaching the spirit of laughter!Wonder if things turn out well thought..Do I have hopes?”Arrist asked them.

“Maybe…..”Rainbow replied.

“Who knows with Pinkie!” Applejack added.

“Alright...let’s stop talking about flowers and let’s talk of how are we going to tell the princesses tomorrow,without them fainting!” Starlight suggested.

“No matter how you put it Starlight,they will be surprised!Want it or not,”Discord pointed out.

“Has a point.Let’s just tell them how things are! In a more like a prologue thing!They are not going to stay paralyzed like Discord here when he saw her!That’s for sure,”Pinkie exclaimed.

“Zero comment on that...” Discord replies.

“So we try to not say everything straight away,but also not let them stay curious forever,well,that isn't hard!”Rainbow thought.

“It might,when you know that what you are about to say might make them faint!” Spike pointed out.

“Oh great!”Starlight exclaimed.
”Now it’s more harder!Thanks Spike!”

“Alright,alright everypony!It’s not going to be that hard,I mean,how hard can it be,right?”
Twilight paused to look for someone to agree with her.
”Oh come on!It’s not that hard!No pony agrees with me!?Ponies!”

“Ahem!Two draconequus and a dragon here!We are offended with this comment!”Discord told coughing.

“Oh alright!Anyone?!”

“Look,we just tell them as much as soft as we can,and who is the best at telling something kindly and soft than Fluttershy!”Discord suggests.

“Wait,ME!You are out of your mind!?”She complained.

“I wasn't in my mind a long time ago dear!Face it!”He replied.

“No no no!There is no way I tell them!Why don't you tell them!?She is your sister!”She suggested.

“What?I trembled while saying her name!And...They will rainbow-blast me to Tartarus!”

“You deserve it!” Rainbow commented.

“Hmph!”He crossed his arms.

“Alright,let’s tell them together don’t you think?”Twilight suggested.

“Better,” Rarity agreed.

“Better than tell it alone!” Discord replies.

“Yeah,who can tell that?” Rainbow added.

“No one,that’s who!”Applejack told.

“AHEM!You realise you are talking about ME,right!?And I am right in front of you!You are talking like you are about to announce them that they have a disease or anything!And I am really offended now!”She angrily looked at them.

“Oops!Sorry,” Rainbow awkwardly told.

“He he he” They laughed awkwardly.

“Hm!”She pissed looked at them.

“Alright,alright sorry big sis!But you know that I trembled when I was saying your very name!You got to admit that you’re scary sometimes!And how do you think announcing your very existence will be,dearest sister?Like a piece of pie!?”Discord defended.

“Mmm,pies!” Pinkie daydreamed.

“‘Sight’ Are you really afraid of me?”

“Well emm,was and a bit are” He trembled.

“Huh,I am really that scary!?Great!My own blood still afraid of me!This day can get even better when I inform that you were all shaking with fear and nervousness while meeting me!”She revealed.

“You..oh..he he he,that didn’t go out well,” Spike admitted

“But you are not that scary!I mean..em..you are not scary at all!
Well surprising!That's what you look like at first!
But then you get used to it!” Fluttershy tried to save her kindness.

“Good shot,” She replied.

“Damn it!” She muttered.

“It’s alright..I know I am not the best looking being,heck,at least I am more normal than him!” She pointed at Discord.

“Hey!”

“Oh hush,like I’m wrong,I’m always right,” She defended.

“And why…?”

“Because I’m your sister and I said so!Now no arguments,or else I’ll put you in detention,”She warned.

“Oh come on!I am not a kid sister!”

She then looked at him with eyes that were emotionless and full with anger as it seemed to him.

“Alright,alright!Geez!” He backed off.

“Good brother! Listened to your sister for once.”She patted his head.

“Yeah,yeah,” He told annoyed.

“Alright then!So...must admit this banquet was surprising!The most surprising and unexpected that I’ve been!Great job at the food Discord,at least you are a good host,that’s saying something,”Twilight admitted.

“Thanks,” He replied smiling.

“And..it was nice to get to have you with us Arrist!You are not annoying like him after all!Great breakfast Discord!”Applejack continued.

“And the most touching-heart-to-heart-moment banquet I’ve ever been!”Pinkie added.

“Especially when you two hugged,”Rainbow added.

“Indeed!I would like to get to know you better Arrist!” Rarity enthusiastically cheered.

“Me too! I never knew that my friend has a sister!You are fun like him after all!”Fluttershy continued.

“Well,I must admit I wasn’t in the whole ‘touching moment’ as everyone says,but,you know,you're siblings,and yes it is surprising!Even if you are just in front of me Arrist.You seem fun!And...have a chance to borrow any potions and magic spells from you any time soon?”Starlight asks.

“Anytime,” Arrist replies.

“Thanks!”

“Yes,you are actually pretty cool!And still can’t believe that ultimate-prank that the spirit of order managed but not Discord!Ha!I can’t wait to hear more stories!” Spike cheerfully says.

“Of course!And by the way,Discord here wants to say something!”She added.

“Wait,I want?” He asked confused.

“Yep!You know what I am talking about!” She said cheerfully.

“Might explain because I have no idea!”

“Ahem,” She coughed pointing her head at his friends.

“Ahh,now I get it,but of course!”He paused.
”Everypony and dragon!I have to say something!”

“Is it a prank?Because I think it’s a prank!Hide everyone!”Rainbow warned.

“No no!You don't have to!” Arrist assured.

“Ahem!What I want to say is,phew,I am happy and grateful for calling you my friends!And..the fact that you can stand my annoying self makes you more admirable!”He admitted.

“Emm,thanks?”Rainbow confused told.

“Am I supposed to say something?”Spike whispering asked.

“No..It just means a lot that you gave me a chance to change my ways,making me your friend and teach me the power of friendship and for well...bringing my sister here.Even if I didn’t ask for it you still did it.
I think we have one thing in common;stubbornness.But...thank you.You can’t possibly imagine how much this means to us.We two have passed a lot together as you know,I can’t imagine where would I be without her.And of course for not punching me in the face for not telling you earlier!”

“You know,you really give me the idea!” Rainbow warned.

“Well,yes,and,huh,for pushing me to talk to her,my sister my only family,it ‘sniff’ means a lot.But I realised something today,and I think all of you did,”He enigmatically told.

“What?” Rainbow asked.

“You know you said it yourself Applejack!”

“I did?” Applejack looked confused.

“Yep!That,you are my friends and family now too.My whole family,and I hope you sister get to feel the same way I feel about them too!Besides you never know!You might become good friends,and you know,you got to learn the magic of friendship and all that...and you and Twilight might become the ultimate-eggheads!”He joked.

“Remember Twilight...I get to brake it!”

“Sure and we get to turn him,”

“Alright you two creep me out!You might turn me with no reason!”He worryingly looked at them.

“You know...if the others don't agree,I can simply turn him and you break it,is that a deal?” Arrist looked at Twilight smiling evilly.

“Deal...I might need it,we two are going to get along,”

“Alright stop joking!You scare me!Literally,who knows what your seven dynamic might be!”

“You know I start to get a feeling that Arrist here will be very happy to learn the magic of friendship!And we totally are going to get along,”Fluttershy cheered.

“I would like to get to know you all better!Who knows?We might become good friends!And you know...if you ever want to prank him,come to me first!Freely.Anytime of the day.And thank you.For bringing my brother back,”She thanked.

“Well,nice to know you Arrist,and everyone,we gotta go now,really nice meeting you,see you tomorrow at six at Twilight’s castle right?”Applejack asked.

“Yes tomorrow,we’ll be there” They both replied.

As the eight individual were walking to the door.

“Yes,and,we should leave you alone,for you know,have some personal time together!”Spike added.

“Yes Spike!We got it,and by the way,I never told you how much I appreciate for you to be here!I dunno what would I do with seven mares as friends,one sister,and two princesses-friends being the ones that I hang out most,really,thank you,we males got to understand each other in this friendship!”

“You tell me!Glad that I am not the only male,women right?Who understands them!?”

“Alright,Spike you get to make company to Discord while you both are in stone!”Rainbow exclaimed.

“Yikes!I got to stop talking!”He demanded.

“You should,but,heck,it’s you!And we love you for who you are!”Applejack told.

“Alright,can we stop this sappy feelings forum,gets a bit weird!”

“Finally!Someone who says it!” Applejack exclaimed.

“Alright then!We get to go now!See you tomorrow,”Rarity said.

“WAIT!” Pinkie shouted.

“What is it?” Fluttershy asked concerned.

“We have to pick who is the next to hold the next friendship banquet!Discord you know what to do!”

“Your wish,is my command!”

‘SNAP’

There is a raffle machine besides Discord and Pinkie was holding a sack with little balls.

“What are they doing?” Arrist asked.

“Oh this is their way to choose who is the next to hold the next banquet!Kinda like a bingo game!”Fluttershy explained.

“Don't ask!Lottery was the only way they agreed with!”Applejack informed.

“Alright then!And,ah,Discord we have to put your sister too!”Pinkie reminded,as she threw seven balls in the raffle machine.

“Right!”Then a ball appeared.

“Hope you don’t mind,”Rarity asked.

“Nuh,it's fine,”

“O,o and the princesses and Thorax!They both told me,and Cadence!”She adds.

“Sure!” Then three other balls appeared the four new balls were now inside.

"Round and round it goes! Who will it be next?" said Discord as he was turning the raffle machine.

“Who will be the lucky host?”Pinkie exclaimed waiting for the machine to stop.

He stopped the machine and then Pinkie picked a ball from it.
"Number nine!Who is number nine?"She then shook it a bit to reveal the name of the next host.
“ARRIST!”Pinkie answers
”You’re the next host!Congratulations!” She clapped her hooves.

“Well,luck of the beginner!”She replies.

“Welp,guess your turn now!” Applejack exclaims.

“Alright,this is the weirdest method that I was picked in!Brother you still got your chaos!No matter what others try!”

“Oh you know me!”

Then the raffle machine disappeared.

“Alright then,guess you're the next sis!Hope you like banquets!”

“Well,first time but,I am excited!” She cheerfully told.

“Alright now we need to head back and when is the next banquet?”Fluttershy asked.

“Oh this will be decided tomorrow at the sun rise!” Pinkie answered.

“Why in the sunrise?” Arrist asked.

“Oh just for a more interesting time!” Pinkie replies.

“And,the best time to set on your pranks!” Discord added.

“You aren’t planning any mischief again,right...?” She dared to ask.

“Maybe…”

“‘Sight’ What am I going to do with you?” Arrist asked facepalmed herself.

“Welcome back big sis!To your duties as a sister!”
He welcomed her then a banner appeared behind him with a ‘WELCOME SISTER’ written.

“And to your duties of being patient with him!”Rainbow continues.

“Welcome to our world,” Fluttershy adds.

“Glad that you are here!”Rarity says.

“Hope that you feel welcomed,”Applejack carries on.

“Hope that you two will be funny and caring siblings as you were before!”Pinkie then hugged them both.

“Does she,like,always hugs?” Arrist asked him.

“Yep!Get used to it!Welcome to my world with ponies and a dragon being my friends and learning about the magic of friendship!And stuff….”

“Good luck with him being your brother!” Spike wished her.

“Thanks,I’ll need it!”

“No refunds,”Twilight tells coldly.

“I know…”

“Alright then..need to go now.See you all tomorrow!”Starlight exclaimed as they all eight were outside.

“You know how to teleport us back into your castle right?” Rarity asks Twilight.

“Of course I know!See you!Discord,Arrist,”Twilight then started to light her horn.

The two draconequus waved at them and then.

‘POOF’

They disappeared.
They reappeared back at the castle,more specifically the throne room.

“Well that was the most interesting breakfast that I’ve ever been!”Fluttershy exclaimed.

“Well,everypony,you owe me an apology!” Rainbow said.

“What for?” Spike asked.

“Because,you thought this wouldn’t be an adventure but it is!So you practically owe me!”She explained.

“Right..Well you were right,I mean,it is Discord!He will get us all into a crazy adventure!” Twilight admits.

“Oh,but you now see how sweet he can be!And we did a good deed!We reunited two siblings!And helped our friend,I am very proud for us!”Fluttershy cheered.

“Well,I must admit,I saw a side of him that I didn’t knew was there!”Rarity admitted.

“That of a brother,” Starlight told.

“And that of a regretful being,and someone that passed a lot,”Twilight adds.

“Yes,really,didn’t knew much about his origins,but,now,heck,now we get to know he has a sister!She is really nice,”Rainbow continued.
“And..the princesses are totally gonna freak out when they realise they had turned her brother into stone!Their looks will be priceless!”Rainbow started,but then collapsed on the floor,kicking jer hoofd as she couldn’yt control the laughter.
“HAHAHAHA!The LOOK on their FACES!”

“You think it will be funny!?Remember our feelings when we realised that she knew about us!?”Fluttershy asked.

“Yeah,freaked out and scared to death!”Spike replies.

“Well,anyways,so,guys,guess see you tomorrow here at six?”Rainbow and the other four ponies said as they walked out of the castle.

“Yes,see you tomorrow girls,” Twilight told smiling.

“See ya!”They told as they were walking back to their homes.

“Alright we need to prepare things for tomorrow!”Twilight informed.

“Twilight,relax,they are not going to be here until tomorrow afternoon,we still got plenty of time” Spike replies.

“We better be prepared,you never know!!” Twilight adds.

“Of course,you want to check things on your list right?” Starlight slammed her hoof.

Twilight cheerfully nodded.

“What is wrong with you?” Spike asks as they were walking down the hallway to prepare everything.

Meanwhile at Discord’s dimension

“Welp,that was a pretty interesting breakfast!”Arrist admits.

“Yep!Well what do you expect really?”He asks her.

“Yes...well do you want to be alone?I can leave you if-”

“Of course not!You are joking?Sis you will stay here!Want it or not,”He cutted her.

“Really?Well long time no see,really...”

“Hey hey! Let’s not remember the past now!We already talked this over,so,come on!We have so much to catch up on!”
He took her hand and closed the door behind them.

“Might clean the dishes first?” She asks.

“Of course!”He cheerfully told as he grabbed two pairs of gloves and handed the one to her.

“Like normal,please?” She asks.

“Pft,fine!Just this once,”

Then they started to wash the dishes,like normal being do.

“Well,what news do you have really,how have you been the past years?I want to know everything!”

“Well...I think you are aware of Zecora,right?”

“Ah,yes,the zebra right?What about her?”

“Well,months before when she first came in Equestria I helped her find a house and we are kinda like friends,so you get the point,”

“Really?Does she know that…?”

“Yes,I told her once,and besides,how else do you think I learn Equestrias news?”

“Ha,got a point,I presume you told her to not tell anyone about you,right?”

“Yep!I thought that those ponies would cut my head if they learned that someone else livesin the Everfree forest!How wrong I was,ha,”

“Yep!They changed a lot after all those years,so,you really have been alone all those years?”He asked sad facing her.

“Yes...because you know...let’s not remember this!” She forcely smiled.

He quit washing.
“Do you want to tell something?You know you can tell me,”

“Huh,nothing it’s just,I have been alone these years Discord!
Since the day that you were gone I was left alone and I didn’t have any company for a long time,I don’t think I can get used into having company,or friends.
I don’t think I can be,well,all friendly and used to friendship.
You know I have been alone,so lonely Discord,I am afraid I might be bad at friendships,you are all daring and very socialized and all,but,me,I am not that much of a daring personality.
This friendship thing is all very new to me.Sure Zecora is my neighbour that’s different,but,to actually talk with other ponies,and most importantly with the princesses!I am pretty freaked out!”

“It’s alright sis,I know it’s not easy at first,I am also new to this friendship thing,remember?But you get used to it!
Besides,the very elements of friendship will be teaching you,I think it won’t be that hard!You and the girls will get along,you are my not-annoying self,they’ll love you!And because you’re my sister and all that,but don’t worry,I can swear you that;They won’t give up on you no matter what!Heck those ponies can make even the worst of enemies into friends that would die for each other!
So everything will turn out fine!Trust me;I was nervous about friendship too,but look at me now!As you said the same ponies that their ancestors were cruel to us are now my friends!
And don’t worry about other ponies;they firstly might be terrified of you,but if you pass often through Ponyville and you don’t behave all evilly-like in couple of days they get used to you,heck,it is Ponyville,the friendliest place in all of Equestria,they have seen more terrifying beings than us,trust me,they have seen worse!
And my not-related nieces The Cutie Mark Crusaders or CMC will want to ask you tons of questions when they learn about you!And Cheerily wants me next week in her school for some lessons about ancient pony history,no the kids are not afraid of me at all.There was one time when I came for some magic section spell and the kids were all mean to me,but despite all that I saved them from detention!So we are even.
And you can come along too if you want it!Just imagine the look on their little faces when they learn that you are my sister!And Cheerilly’s! I will have so much fun!”
He exclaimed happily.

“Wait,wait,don’t you want to teach the new pony generation their very origins,or you just want to have some fun!?”She asked concerned.

“Of course I want to teach the new generation how they came to be!But,seeing their surprised faces won’t be bad either!”

“Get it...So,wait,the kids were mean to you?”She asked confused.

“You know because of the whole;ruling all over Equestria and the Tirek incident,you got the point.Well the CMC weren’t there so,they don’t count,”

“Right,so,you say that they will get used to me?And it’s just a matter of time?”

“Of course!And as I know Ponyville,they will know that you are my sister in one week or so!”

“Alright,so they will get used to me soon or after.And...what about the actual princesses?”

He starts to giggle but then couldn’t hold it in and he started to laugh like a crazy maniac.
”Don’t worry about them!Just imagine their faces when they realise that they turned your brother in stone!They will totally freak out themselves!”

“Really?You think so,but,now that you are saying it,you might be right.Thanks Discord,not used to get advice from my little brother,but I think I might turn to you for advice,”

“Your welcome sis,anytime,but,don’t think that I won’t annoy you or trick you,that’s just the first day!”

“Of course!Not changed in a thousand years brother,not let anyone tell you that you are out of character for once!”

“Hah!You know me too well sis,”

“Of course I do,now let’s finish those dishes,”

They started to wash the dishes more faster and then-

‘SPLASH’

“Hey!”

“Oops,didn’t see you,”He innocently-like told.

“Others might chew this but I don’t” She then splashed him with water.

“HEY!”

“Oh get used to the competition,”

After they cleaned the dishes,they went to rest in the living room.

“Oh,can’t you at least be more like,I dunno,have gravity?” She asks as she flew up in the air without flapping her wings.

“Sister,do you want me to become like normal?It's so boring!I don’t know how you handle it,why behave like a normal being when you can spice up things a bit?”

“Right...your chaos nature is really weird,like mine actually,”

“Pft,like you didn’t raise the spirit of chaos.And besides,you know that I will fade away if I don’t act myself!Pretty much the same as you!By the way did you know that one time I played at The Spring Music Festival of Ponyville?”

“Really?Welp,those ponies really changed you after all!”

She then turned to see him eat cotton candy while also drink the glass from the chocolate milk.

“Nope!Take it back!”

“Sorry,you said something?”He turns to her.

“Nothing,nothing at all...Just...forget it,so,you really played at The Spring Music Festival?”

“If you don’t believe me ask anyone from Ponyville or even Celestia herself.Besides,how do you think I got my fish back?”

He pointed at his fish that was swimming at a pumpkin.

“Shouldn’t it be in an aquarium or anything?”

“Sister,this is the spirit of chaos’s house, what do you really expect from here?To everything make sense!? I am really offended now!”
He said with a disbelieving tone.

“‘Sigh’,where did I got myself into?Huh?Tell me Harmony,tell me….”

“Well...your brother is the spirit of chaos and disharmony after all,you know me like no one!
Em now,how about we have some sibling-bond time,ha?”

‘SNAP’

He was dressed like a tour guide and held some maps
“Want to take a quick trip to Las pegasus?Saddle Arabia perhaps?
I heard that Rusnowia has good snow for skiing,and,Grecepelikous has good weather for a walk or to swim in the sea!So...?”

She giggled a bit.
“Oh,Discord.That all sounds wonderful.But..if we just stayed here and played a board game or anything would be wonderful too,”

“Well,as you wish,”

‘SNAP’

The maps and the costume disappeared.

“So...want to bake some cookies? Fluttershy here gave me a recipe for this delicious looking cookies!”

“Sure,and,I have been meaning to ask,how do you really see the girls?I mean,they are kinda your opposite too,how come you are getting so well with them?”

“Oh,that,well,it’s all about understanding and accepting someone's flaws,and all that,they had accepted mine and I had accepted theirs,patience to sum it up,”

“Got it,so that’s how they stand you,”

“Hey!”

“What?You are annoying sometimes!”

“Hmmm,good point,but anyways,so...about the cookies...”

“Sure!And..might I sleep here tonight?I really don’t want to be left alone now that we two are reunited,”

“Of course!You are even asking it?
My house is your house too!Feel welcomed,and I am always here if you need to talk to anyone,”

“Thanks,means a lot...Now how about we make those delicious cookies that you tell me?”She says smiling.

“Follow me sis!”

Then they went again in the kitchen to bake the cookies,of course they were too distracted in throwing the ingredients at each other so they baked no cookies.

But they did had fun and after their exhausting food-fighting they cleaned up everything and they had their lunch,they played board games,Discord as usual talked about himself and his accomplishments,his closest friends,the princesses,and everything else his sister should know about our colourful Equestrian world,he told her about the Spring Music Festival that he played part in.

“And,in the end you pretty much earned your fish from Celestia after all?”

“Yep!I earned it rightfully!”

“Hello there ma'am!I am Q,Discord’s fish here,couldn’t help but eavesdrop on your talk here,nice to meet my owner's sister!”The fish was floating up in the air and he offered his fin.

“Emm,nice to know you too...Does he always talk?”She accepted and shook the fish's fin.

“Nuh.Only when he is out of water,and that doesn’t happen always you know,”

“I think everyone is quite friendly to me,how so I must ask?”

“Because you are my sister,and,in Ponyville and here everyone is welcomed!”

Then balloons appeared out of nowhere.

“Truly everyone...”

He also told of how he and the others saved the Changeling Kingdom and his friends.

“You really defeated an entire kingdom with no magic?Well that’s impressive of you and the rest!And you also got medals of honor?”

“Here,”

He made a box appear and one of the ‘Equestrias pink hearts of Courage’ was inside.

“Congratulations on the medal,hope that you didn’t annoyed them a lot while you were in the Changeling Kingdom,”

“I am not always annoying!”He defends.

“Hm...I think I should ask your friends about that,”

“Pft,ask,they always say that I am annoying all the time,well,all except Fluttershy and maybe Pinkie Pie thought,”

“I heard that Fluttershy is a close friends to you,and Pinkie,well,has the same confusing personality as you,right?”

“Yep!Fluttershy is my closest friend,and Pinkie,well,we understand one another,kind of,she has the fourth wall breaking abilities,for an earth pony!Twilight and I still don’t know what’s up with her!”

“Well,there is a possibility that she might be one of the descendants of the ponies that you once ‘accidentally’ gave them chaotic magic?
You know,the ancient civilization of the ‘Carteria Ponicillia’ the;
all-mighty powerful unicorns that had crazy magic,as the ponies say.Have you even told the princesses about this incident?Her ancestors might come from the carteria ponicilia civilisation,luckily I took back that chaotic magic from them!But,that magic kinda stayed like a part of them,and of course that crazy mare escaped and we never found her!
Maybe that chaotic magic was passed to her?”

She asks,he saw his terrified expression of what Pinkie’s crazy fourth-wall breaking abilities might come from,then she looked with confusion at him,and then she understood what was wrong.

“Let’s not talk about this ever again...”

“Agreed...”

Now they had a shared secret that promised to not mention ever again!
