To be the First! Who doesn't wanna win a competition on being the best? Although Amethyst had lived in Ponyville longer, Twilight Sparkle has proven to be better...
To be the First, a short comedy of Amethyst and Twilight Sparkle both competing to see who is the better organizer. Both have their own methods, and their own styles. But when two of the most organized ponies compete, ironically... Things become a huge mess.
Especially when Discord get's involved. I suppose you could say... It's because of this does the term "Organized Chaos" get it's true meaning.
It Takes Some Getting Used Too! (Amethyst Star; Scene 1)
There's just no fun these days. It takes a lot more then that to get Amethyst down though! It's not like her job, or her reputation had been destroyed or anything like that. Amethyst had just wished sometimes that Twilight Sparkle never came to this town. But when she does think those thoughts, the horrible images of regret and sorrow come back to her.
If Twilight never came she never would have made friends. If she didn't, then Nightmare Moon would win and all of Equestria would be in total chaos. Discord would be set free, Queen Chrysalis and her army would prevail, King Sombra would be able to take over the whole Empire, the plunder seeds would sprout and there would be no way of stopping it, and then of course Lord Tirek would come and destroy everything we all love.
Beautiful thoughts really.
Amethyst gave a small sigh, sitting down at her table. Holding a pencil she tapped it against the desk, nothing productive was ever in her life these days. Even that pencil tapping got on her nerves! With a quick snap, she had used her magic breaking the pencil in half. Throwing it out the window there was a cat yowl, a classic sound effect in this pastel pony world. "I mean it's not like-" She blinked as she saw a stallion struggling to fix his.. Was that a snow cone machine? Obviously all he needed to do was pull down the lever at the same time screw in the rest of that bolt to the left. Using her magic she did it for him. It started working and he had the expression that made him look as if he had just seen a ghost.
This one mare trotted by with books and papers, all a complete mess, unclean and obviously she was in a rush. Stopping to help her, she used her magic quickly organizing just about everything. The mare was quick, and afterwards, the one mare she had just helped seemed happy and less stressed. A stallion passing by had a bowl and saddlebag full of gemstones, and unorganized notes and registration forms. He had fallen, dropping everything. With ease she used her magic lifting up his notes and saddlebag, fixing everything into place making it nice and neat. At the spark of the horn she had preset his bowl, the gemstones all sorted by color, so neatly organized it was like there was an invisible divider, that separated the gems into color groups. He thanked her kindly before continuing on with his day like she did with hers. Giving a beaming smile the mare continued to pass through town. She hardly even realized what she had done for those ponies back there, required kindness, observatory skills along with organization. She still had it! Now brought up the question in her mind.
How do I show everyone else that I have it in me as well?
A Princess is more then just Regal! (Twilight Sparkle; Scene 2)
"Spike? Spike!" Twilight Sparkle gave a long sigh, tapping her hoof against the ground.
At last her number one assistant appeared. "I'm here!"
Twilight grinned narrowing her eyes, "Do you know what today is?"
He blinked somewhat confused, "Uh, Tuesday?" He asked holding up a calendar, pointing to the day. She shook her head, hoping for him to guess again. "Your anniversary?" She arched an eyebrow, still waiting. "... The day where you tell me what today is?" Twilight Sparkle groaned loudly facehoofing.
"No, no, no! Today is re-shelving day!" "How was I supposed to know that?" Spike asked defiantly.
Twilight rolled her eyes, "When it's re-shelving day what is the routine Spike?" She asked, her eyes softening and a grin slowly spread across her muzzle.
Spike slapped his claw on his face, even with a sound-effect! "I'll go over to Pinkie Pie's..." He grumbled as he left the room, heading outside of the Castle. Twilight didn't like disruptions when she re-shelved things, and so Spike usually leaves to someone's house to hang out while she is doing this. Not that she demands it be that way, it's just when someone interrupts her during this time, she tends to get a little snappy.
It was hours of nonstop organizing. Books placed in different book selves, now with labels. In her Castle there was more room, so everything looked so much nicer...
"Well I'm done for the day. Now the question is... What should I do now?" She asked herself trotting outside of the library. "Hmm, maybe I could go and walk through Ponyville. Talk with some ponies, that should be fun!" Twilight Sparkle was a great organizer, as she had just organized that entire library. Even as she passed by, she didn't even think about it, but if she saw a mess or anything like that she used her magic sorting it before continuing to walk on. Like how Spike had just left all of his blankets, and comic books in the hall way. Tripping over it, she gave an angry growl. Using a quick spell she stacked up all of the comics in order, then folded the blanket. Putting the comics on top of the blanket, she placed the blanket in his bedroom within the closet.
As the Princess of Friendship passed by she saw Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash running by. "Hey Twilight! We were going to go draw a giant poster but we needed some supplies, I hope you don't mind us borrowing these markers, crayon, and construction paper!" Rainbow Dash said giving a grin.
Twilight Sparkle blinked, before nodding, "Go ahead. Oh- Wait!" They skid to a halt. With her magic she lifted up all of the markers, putting them into rainbow order. As for the crayons she put them in alphabetical, as for the construction paper she put them in Rainbow order as well. As she had done this so many times it only took two minutes. Pinkie Pie giggled, and trotted along with the stuff when Rainbow Dash on the other hoof just rolled her eyes. As Twilight turned away, Rainbow smirked devilishly and put the Red color at the end and the purple in the beginning.
Twilight walked by without another word, but with a quick spell she reset the markers, causing Rainbow Dash to pout. Chuckling softly she exited the Castle and made her way out into Ponyville!
Discord sat down on this small piece of land, his hoof and dragon claw dangled off the side that would lead into the abyss. Discord pondered on for a few moments, "Oh, what fun is there when I am not making chaos, or hanging out with Fluttershy!" He growled crossing his lion paw and eagle claw arms together. With a snap of his finger, a futuristic television screen appeared in front of him, "Now just go to Discovery Family... Aha! There." He tossed the remote behind him, not even bothering to turn around when it made a giant explosion, with the sound effect of a yowling cat.
He watched his fellow ponies in action.
There stood Twilight Sparkle doing the normal type thing where she walks through Ponyville.
But then something caught his eye in the background. Blinking he zoomed in closer on the pony. It was Amethyst Star! She was helping background Ponies out, in such an organized fashion...
A wicked grin spread across his face. "I don't suppose is the part where I come in..." He said putting a talon to his lips, in a thinking type position. "Chaos it is!" He put his hands together tapping his talons against his paw's fingers, a wicked chuckle came out of his mouth.
*:･ﾟ✧･ﾟ*:･
"Hello, Twilight." His voice extended as he coiled around his favorite purple Princess. Running one of his claw's talons from her cheek to underneath her chin, in a weird form of greeting.
"Ah!" She flailed back, in shock as she saw Discord. "Discord!" Twilight's sparkle instant reaction made her growl towards him.
"Oh calm yourself," Discord said silencing her by with a snap of his finger did he create a zipper over her mouth and she was unable to speak. "Besides you have somewhere incredibly important to be, so I am going to make this quick."
Twilight Sparkle stopped struggling, instead she just sat down and raised an eyebrow at him.
"You know how you are the best organizer in all of Equestria?" He asked, sitting down in mid air, placing his paw underneath his chin.
Twilight used her magic unzipping her mouth, and made it vanish into thin air. "Uh, yes? What about it?"
"Somepony has challenged you to who could be the better organizer!" He said with a fake gasp holding his paw and claw to his mouth. His "surprised" look didn't last long as his face went to bemused and he put his hands down. "Amethyst Star thinks she's a better organizer. Are you going to let her threaten your position, Twilight?" He asked just trying to butter her up and get her angry.
She narrowed her eyes a bit, before scoffing, "Ha! Amethyst would do that? I didn't think she had it in her." Twilight Sparkle sighed and shook her head, "And however did you find this out Discord?"
Discord shrugged, "I was just looking around before I saw Amethyst helping out many ponies with her 'organizing skills'," At that moment he put two of his fingers to his head on both side making a "psychic" type look. "And I was thinking, should I help defend my friends honor? Of course I should! So this is me. Telling you."
Twilight Sparkle rolled her eyes, "Alright alright, well I suppose... Thanks Discord." She said passing a smile towards him. As he did his bow he left, teleporting away.
But in reality, Discord just teleported back to his spot with the television screen, now just waiting for the chaos he may have brewed... They wouldn't even know it's his own doing! "Brilliant... Well Discord, you are going to need some popcorn!" He told himself, and the tip of his tail turned to a hand, snapping and creating a giant bag of popcorn. Munching and stuffing his face, he watched the screen, "Let the chaos begin..."
