Chaos and Harmony
Twilight was ready for today, she had planned for this, she had a plan, a back up plan in case the first failed and if both failed then and only then would she resort to the Elements of Harmony for today was the day Discord would escape his stone prison and attempt to bring Chaos to Equestria but would be stopped be it by Twilight alone or all of her friends was up for debate but she’d figure that out when it got there
The day continued as it did before and by that she meant Rainbow Dash ineffectively trying to get rid of the chocolate milk raining cotton candy clouds Discord created, then at Applejack’s farm where the corn popped, the apples grew too large and the animals… were weird their was no explanation to that.
That was when Twilight dispelled the chaos using her own chaos magic, one of the few things that can combat Chaos Magic was Chaos Magic and that was when Celesta summoned them
When they arrived at Canterlot she explained the situation to her friends and told them that they’d need to use the Elements of Harmony to defeat Discord but when she tried to retrieve them they were gone and finally came the moment Twilight was waiting for, Discord showed up
He took one look at the group before him and was confused and Twilight could tell why, as Unicorn/Alicorn Magic had no effect on the Draconoquis in question and this was the Discord of the past so he was confused by her wings and also confused by the fact he could also notice they were hidden, a new one additional kea aspect, all Chaos Magic users had this sorta ‘tell’ to let them know about another user, Pinkies was her Pinkie Since but to her it was an unfamiliar sensation that she didn’t recognize and wouldn’t recognize until she got to know Discord
Discord looked straight at her and snapped his talons, appearing in his paw was a script titled Return of Harmony and flipped through the pages for a moment and declared “Okay that’s supposed to come later, am I in the wrong dimension again?”
“What are you doing?” Celesta asked completely baffled
At that question Discord ate the script and muttered to himself “Well I’ll jest go with it, after all I wouldn’t be me if I let something like this through me off. *clears throat* Now then Princess I’m sure you would like to know where I hid the elements of Harmony, but you know me I’ll only tell it my way. To retrieve your missing Elements, just make sense of this change of events. Twists and turns are my master plan. Then find the Elements back where you began.“
The others were confused by the riddle but Twilight immediately knew the answer because she lived through this once before, but she was hesitant, yes she knew that this Discord wasn’t her friend, but it would still feel like turning a friend to stone, she wanted to reform Discord, she really did, but she honestly didn’t expect to be able to, only Fluttershy realistically could and Fluttershy currently would never agree to this
Twilight continued to debate weather she should ‘fall’ for Discord’s trap or just retrieve the elements of Harmony as she was thinking Fluttershy approached Twilight and asked “Twilight can I talk to you in private for a minute?”
The question confused Twilight but she complied none the less
Fluttershy pulled Twilight aside and asked “Twilight, what’s going on?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Twilight, please help me, the last thing I remember is helping send Luster Dawn to Ponyvill, then suddenly I’m here in the past, I think I time traveled, don’t try and convince me you don’t know what I’m talking about, I can see your wings, that illusion spell only works if you don’t know what to look for.”
That caused Twilight’s eyes to widen
“The others aren’t here, I made sure to ask specific questions in private, for example I asked Applejack about how Granny Smith was doing and she didn’t even tear up, Pinkie Pie didn’t even know what I was talking about when I subtly mentioned Lil’Cheese, Rainbow Dash gushed over how ‘awesome’ the Wonderbolt’s are, not even the siltiest passive aggressive comment about how horrible they used to be before she took control, Rarity said she still wanted to meet prince Blueblood when I asked, trust me it took all I had not to loose my lunch then. So I’ll ask again Twilight, what is going on here?”
“You can’t tell anyone.” Twilight instinctively blurted out
“Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye, and as you know the Pinkie Promise is legally binding.”
Twilight was pretty sure it already was before she actually made it a rule of equestria, but their was no proof of such.
“I honestly don’t know about you but this was actually a gift from Discord. It was my one millionth birthday and his gift to me was taking me back here.”
At that Fluttershy slapped her hove to her face and declared “Of course that happened. What should we do?”
“Well for one I’m gonna wait for Celesta to send me Starswirls spell book so I can ‘complete’ that spell and ‘become’ an Alicorn, mostly because it will help me time for Sunset’s return.”
“So what about certain villains?”
“Well I can’t tell you everything right now because I don’t want to jinx anything but now that you’re back we might not have to even turn Discord to stone, I was admittedly struggling against the idea of using the Elements against him, even though this definitely isn’t the Discord that we know from the future that doesn’t change the fact that it would feel like using the Elements against our friend, Discord was one of the few that I could still call my friend after you all… well you can probably guess that part. Cadence found a way to turn herself mortal because she wanted to be with Shining Armor, well technically she didn’t, Sombra did, all Cadence did was find his spell book, Flurry Heart followed not long after, Luna almost never visits and when she does she always brings Celesta with her *mumbles under her breath* the lier.”
“Celesta? A lier? What happened between you two?”
“It’s a long story, the short version is I originally thought my ruling of equestria would be temporary, a mantle I would pass down, I even thought Luster Dawn would take my place, but then I discovered something horrifying, two things actually, one I’m immoral, I stop aging now that I’m an Alicorn, but grow with my magic, that’s how Celesta, Luna, Cadence and eventually me and even later Flurry Heart get to our sizes but that growth happens gradually, me having all the knowledge and power of my future self won’t cause me to grow any faster, and two the spell that turned me into an Alicorn only worked once, I’ve waisted years trying to find a way to replicate the spell in one way or another, all of them ended in failure in one way or another. Before Flurry Heart cast the spell on herself she was able to find a replacement, as for me, according to ancient equestrian law only an Alicorn could rule equestria, that same rule doesn’t apply to the Crystal empire, the law was so ancient even I couldn’t overrule it. But now I’m back here. I’ve missed you all so much.”
“I fell the same, you really think I can reform Discord? Especially so early?”
“If anypony can, it’s you Fluttershy.”
“Thanks Twilight.”
“Come on Fluttershy it’s just us future ponies, my friends are like family to me, now please say ‘it’.”
Fluttershy raised an eyebrow and asked “You really want me to say that? Now?”
“Of corse, I’ve waited so long, I need to hear some pony say it, in the future I couldn’t even get my most loyal servants to say it no matter what I did, as a matter of fact, as a Princess I’m ordering it.”
“Your really pulling rank over this?”
“You bet your future animal sanctuary that I will do everything in my power to make a reality sooner that I am.”
“Fine. *clears throat* Thanks Twily.”
“Much better I’ve been waiting for somepony to say that to me again.”
“Yeah so what’s the plan Twily?”
Twilight smiled at the question and declared “Your plan C in case plan A and B fail, I needed a plan C to fall back on because plan A and B are both risky.”
“What’s plan A?”
“You’ll find out Flutters, you’ll find out.”
Twilight sneaked out of the castle to the hedge maze where she knew Discord was waiting for her and her friends, but he would be in for a surprise
“Discord come on out, I know you can here me! I herby challenge you to a goof off!”
Suddenly Discord appeared in front of Twilight and asked “You are challenging me to a goof off? You really think you can out goof me? Please I invited goof off’s!”
Twilight smirked and declared “Then you should have no problem defeating me.”
“Fine but drop the disguise Princess, I’m not gonna let you complain when you lose about splitting your focus between the goof off and keeping that disguise up.”
“Okay, so who’s our judge?”
“Nope, for this we’re using the most impartial judge possible, the rules are simple, whoever makes the other laugh first wins.”
“So we complete wale trying not to laugh?” Twilight asked to clarify
“Yes this rule will make it more difficult for both of us. Are you ready?”
Twilight nodded and so the two began to attempt to out silly the other by singing, dancing, telling jokes, and even both using chaos magic to one up eachother, but nether gave a single inch
Until finally Twilight felt a tingling sensation, and she couldn’t resist but to burst into laughter, looking to where the sensation came from and she saw a feather tickling her!
Discord declared “I win!”
“Only because you cheated.” Twilight declared not completely serious, it wasn’t her goal to win the goof off, only to hopefully help get Discord to willingly stop his spread of Chaos
“All I said was that whoever made the other laugh first wins, it was never stated that tickling was against the rules.” Discord declared with an evil smirk
Okay plan A failed but that was fine because Twilight had a Plan B and C
Twilight suddenly teleported back into the castle but before anypony could even react Twilight grabbed Pinkie Pie in her Magic and teleported them both to where Discord was waiting
“What now, is your pink friend gonna try to beat me next?” Discord asked, slightly amused
“No, I have a better idea. Hay Pinkie Pie! Did you know that Discord’s been trapped in Stone for 1000 years? Meaning he hasn’t had a birthday party in at least that long.”
“What’s a birthday party?” Discord asked not knowing the force he’d unleashed with that question alone
Even Discord couldn’t explain what had happened next but all of a sudden he was sitting on a chair that somehow fit him perfectly and in front of a cake so large that the mountain Canterlot was built on looked tiny by comparison with birthday candles as far as the eye could see. Discord couldn’t help but take a small taste, the cake was somehow Chocolate Milk and Cotton Candy flavored. If that wasn’t enough Pinkie suddenly sang “I’m not sure wether or not it’s your birthday but here’s a party ether way!” Pinkie suddenly got out her pony polka set from the Parisprite incident and began playing. Discord couldn’t help but smile and hum along, the chaotic sounds where all simply amazing together. And as the final pease Pinkie suddenly gave him a present and swiftly declared “Twilightwantedmetogivethistoyou! SorryIdon’thaveagiftforyou!” Discord opened it and inside was one of his favorite things, a joy buzzer, he could easily make one for himself but he found it made him happier to receive one as a gift
During the pure chaos of all of it Fluttershy, who Discord wasn’t even sure how she got here, or even where here was having no time to think with all that was going on, asked to talk to him in private, he could only oblige
A few hours later Discord teleported right in front of Celesta, Elements of Harmony in claw and declared “You win I don’t know how you planned all of this, but I’m ready to embrace good and friendship.”
Celesta was left very confused but Discord kept talking “I mean with your Student challenging me, it was like a fun game, and then that Party that was thrown for me, and finally Fluttershy, oh Fluttershy, I can safely say with confidence that using my magic for good instead of for my personal gain is a good trade, especially if it comes with friendship so I am not sure how you pulled this off, but you trained your student well.”
Celesta was still very confused but didn’t have time to ponder as Discord suddenly snapped his paw and everything went back to normal.
“Admittedly I like it better my way but not everything has to be my way.” Discord said with a smile as he teleported away back to the party leaving Celesta in stunned silence, the only thing she could say was one thing
“What in equestria just happened?”
