Rainbow Dash curled protectively around Fluttershy and closed her eyes, hoping for unconsciousness, but received none. After half an hour the others were asleep and Rainbow heard Fluttershy's fluttering breaths.

"What's wrong with Twilight?" Rainbow murmured as she retracted herself from her Pegasus friend and padded over to the barred door, staring out. As she stood there, a cotton candy cloud appeared above her head and she yelped as chocolate milk rain poured down on her, drenching her.

"Discord!" she roared, shooting out from under the cloud only to have it chase her. Then, the door swung open and she ran out and round herself in a puddle of squelching mud. Yelping, she struggled to escape and found herself being pulled under.

An eager laugh erupted around the room and Rainbow found herself being lifted from the mud and the room returned to normal.

"Yes, Rainbow Dash?" he whispered, bringing her in towards him.

"What is wrong with you?" she demanded. Before she could say more, Discord had his eagle finger over her lips.

"Tell Fluttershy to meet me out here in one hour," he whispered. Rainbow gasped and Discord kicked her into the cell, the door shutting with a clang.

Discord vanished and Rainbow prodded Fluttershy awake hesitantly. The angel woke and stared up at Rainbow with a weak smile.

"Discord wants to meet you other there in…one hour…" Rainbow whispered.

For a moment a greedy look entered Fluttershy's eyes and then she gasped and pressed herself against the wall. However, now this look of terror looked fake and Rainbow winced.

"Do you like him?" Rainbow hissed painfully.

"Err…no!" Fluttershy replied, but her hesitation had given it away.

"You crazy mare!" Rainbow screamed, waking the others. "How can you have a crush on Discord?"

"What!" Pinkie cried, her inflated mane bouncing as she jumped to her hooves.

"Wait just a hay-pickin' minute!" Applejack protested. "You wanna play filly-nilly with Discord?"

"You do?" a new voice said and Discord materialized into view with an eager look on his face. Fluttershy blushed and he scooped her up, pressing his lisp to hers. "We must marry!"

"Err… Discord…" Fluttershy whispered.

"And we'll have roses and a wedding dress…" Discord listed.

"Err… Discord…?" Fluttershy squealed.

"And… and…"

"DISCORD!" Rainbow shouted. "Fluttershy is not gonna marry you! Ya got that?"

Discord snorted and clicked his fingers, making Rainbow change. Her wings vanished and her tail became plain white. Her fur when white as well and her Cutie Mark became a pin popping a balloon. As well as that, her eyes stared in wonky angles.

"Discord!" Fluttershy cried, flying from Discord's arms to inspect her friend. "You've made her an old lady!"

"Yeah? So?" he waved his hand dismissively. Then he saw Rarity and roared with laughter. "Did Twilight do that?"

Rainbow tried to race at him but her steps were slow and painful.

"Discord!" Fluttershy snapped. "Make Rainbow Dash herself again!"

Discord groaned and clicked his lion fingers, making Rarity beautiful again and Rainbow young again. Then, he scooped Fluttershy up and vanished with her.

"Come back, Discord!" Applejack shouted.

Discord put Fluttershy on his water bed and leapt back onto it, making it wobble crazily. Fluttershy yelped and leapt into the air, watching as Discord scooped a cotton candy cloud out of the sky and swallowed it whole.

"Come now, my dear, rest up," Discord smiled. "Our wedding is tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Fluttershy squeaked. Her wings snapped closed at a clap of Discord's hands and she fell onto the waterbed. "But that is, well…tomorrow!"

"I know," Discord smirked.

Suddenly, wedding bells rang and Fluttershy squealed as she found herself and Discord stood at the altar, Fluttershy wearing a flowing white and gold wedding dress with six yellow birds holding the train. Discord stood beside her wearing a tuxedo and his mane groomed back. The priest hid behind the lectern, quivering crazily.

"Discord," Fluttershy hissed, staring pointedly at the stain glass windows. "It's still night."

"Oh, so it is!" Discord cried, grinning. He clicked his fingers and they returned to the water bed. "Sleep tight, my bride."

Twilight threw herself onto the bed she shared with Sombre and wept. Sombre wasn't back yet and so she had the room to herself, the moonlight spilling through the gap in the roof and falling on her outstretched wings.

"What have I done?" she whispered into her pillow.

"Nothing, my Queen," Sombre purred as he combed her soft mane.

"You!" Twilight sat up, eyes narrowed. "You made me evil!"

"Yes," Sombre smirked. "And now we shall rule!" his horn began to glow. "Even if it means I have to use persuasion."

A beam swirled towards her and then sprang apart like fireworks, sending pink smoke hearts whirling into her face. A love spell!

She shook it away and the hearts turned into black bats which she directed at Sombre. A red dragon appeared, pulling itself from Sombre's horn, and it let out a mighty burst of flames, burning the bats. However, whilst he was distracted, purple vines had wrapped around him and were squeezing him violently.

Sombre wheezed and struggled to fire at the vines as they dodged the beams and constricted him.

"You're… stronger than… I thought…" Sombre panted, but a satisfied smile played on his lips. "You truly are my Queen."

And then, suddenly he vanished and the vines became ash whilst Twilight's wings disappeared. The dress no longer clung to her and her mane was the usual length as it had been. Sighing with relief, she ran out to face the other villains.
