Hello all! This will not contain the DiscoLight shipping. Also, the story will contain a shipping that not many people like and I don't want all of the reviews to contain hate in it. Constructive criticism is much appreciated. Sorry for such a horrible chapter title. :P Thank you for reading and enjoy!

It was a bright and sunny day in Ponyville. The light seemed to dance off of the crystals of Princess Twilight Sparkle's new castle. How she hated that title.

From day one of ascension everypony would want her autograph. She was still plain old Twilight, just with new wings! She never wanted this! Those ponies had no idea how tiring her life was.

"Oh, well. More thought on that later. I've got my schedule filled to the minute this morning," sighed the alicorn. Spike had walked into the throne room as she spoke looking extremely confused.

"Uh...Twilight, who're ya talking to?" the dragon asked. The purple pony got up from her chair adorned with her Cutie Mark, blushing.

She said, sheepishly, "No one, Spike. It's not important."

---

Meanwhile, a certain draconequus was about to pull his signature prank on an unspespecting white unicorn with an electric blue mane and sunglasses set on her snout.

When he least expected it, a scroll with the stamp of Celestia's Cutie Mark popped up next to him.

He fell out of the tree and landed next to Vinyl Scratch, who, at the moment, had been setting up her stereo.

"Ah! Oh, it's just you, Dis. Anyways, I'm trying to get the turntables up. So..." She shoved Discord away from her station. "Beat it." He got up and stalked off.

He grumbled, "I'm the Lord of Chaos, can defy all logic, and float in midair, but I still fell out of that stupid tree branch!"

Discord snapped his talons and the parchment floated before him, unbound.

He rolled his eyes, summoning tiny reading glasses. "Now let's see what Sun-Butt wants."

Discord,

First of all, please stop calling my sister and I, Sun-Butt and Moon-Butt.

He chuckled at how he got the Princess to write his nicknames for her and Luna.

Now on to real business, I request your presence before me at noon in the Canterlot Castle Throne Room. I have a task for you that cannot be explained through a letter.

Signed,

Princess Celestia

The parchment shriveled up and vanished.

"Ugh, the last thing I want is to have to listen to Tia drone on and on about how 'pranks will degrade her and my own image,'" Discord quoted with the quoted words appear across the sky. The clock tower chimed twelve o' clock. "Oh, poo. I guess it's time to meet her royal pain."

He snapped his talons a second time and disappeared. After he left, the tilting bucket of water above the white pony finally fell and shorted her speakers.

Vinyl muttered, "Next time I see, Dis, I'm gonna pound him!"

Twilight just finished her meeting with Cloudchaser and Flitter about how stable their friendship was.

"Finally. Now I have some more time to myself as I'm ahead of schedule." She read down the list and found she was an hour ahead of time. She wrote a quick note to Spike telling her where she was going to be after he got up from his nap.

Once the pony was out of her front doors, a letter came into view and then fell. She used her magic to levitate it and let the scroll unroll, peeling off the stamp of her mentor.

Twilight, my most faithful student,

I ask of you to meet me in the Canterlot Castle Throne Room. I need your expertise of friendship to help someone you have helped before in this subject.

I am sorry if this has cut into your plans for the day.

Your Mentor,

Princess Celestia

The clock tower stroke twelve with Twilight frantically pacing.

"Oh no! If I'm late for the meeting I might ruin somepony that needs my help! Then if that gets out nopony will trust me again after ruining one pony and then I—" A purple claw was covering the princess's muzzle and keeping her from ranting any longer.

"Geez, Twilight! You woke me up from my nap and an awesome dream." The dragon didn't look pleased. He removed his claw and glared at his boss/big sister.

"What are you doing here, Spike?" Twilight questioned.

Spike pointed towards an open window leading to his room. A pale pink rose to her purple cheeks.

"I heard you getting all worked up over nothing, and I also wanted more sleep so I came to get you going." Twilight laughed and started flapping her wings.

"Well, thanks anyways Spike. I'll be back soon after a meeting with the Princess."

The purple and green dragon looked dumbstruck. "Another meeting?!"

The alicorn rolled her eyes and answered, "Yes, another meeting. I promise I'm going to be back before midnight, number one assistant." Before Spike could reply she flew off, without much ease.

Discord had arrived seconds before a certain purple princess that he knew.

"Please, Celestia, what am I doing here?" Discord interrogated. The white alicorn stood up and unfurled her wings, giving her a more regal look.

"I need you to do something for me that only you can do," she replied, simply.

Just moments after, Twilight came flying in. "WATCH OUT!" Discord ducked while Celestia watched her student skid to a halt, inches before her.

"What in the world?!" the draconequus shouted. The Princess of the Sun only smiled and put a hoof on the pupil's shoulder.

She greeted, "Ah, my most faithful student has arrived. Good to see you could make it."

Twilight chuckled sheepishly and got up. "Sorry, sorry!"

"No need to apologize."

"Sorry!" Her lips pulled into a large smile. Discord coughed to let himself to be known.

She raised an eyebrow realizing who was mentioned vaguely in her letter, "Oh, so I'm helping Discord?"

Celestia kindly corrected her, "Not exactly."

Discord tapped his cloven hoof impatiently. "Would somepony please tell me what I'm supposed to be doing?"

"I want you to spend the next week with the Elements of Harmony," commanded the older alicorn.

The draconequus and younger alicorn were flabergasted. "WHAT?!" they yelled in unison.

"Discord needs to learn more about friendship to avoid a situation like Tirek's. I believe 9you and your friends can help him." She turned to Discord. "I would like you to soend as much time as possible with them and I will keep an eye on you to make sure you don't avoid this, is that clear?"

Discord was walking away, towards the doors, with him waving his paw nonchalantly. "Yes, yes, though, I hardly think it's fair." Before either Princess could respond he left. "Now goodbye!" He snapped the end of his tail and teleported.

"Princess, are you sure this is a good idea?" Twilight asked, worriedly.

"I am sure. Now, I must adjour to begin my meeting with the Queen of Great Britle." Celestia furled her wings and walked down a hallway to her right.

Her student teleported back to her own castle as to avoid crash collisions.

Discord was sitting in his thinking tree wondering what horrors he would have to do the next day. Though, he wouldn't mind seeing Fluttershy again.

That's still beside the point! a voice in his brain shouted.

True, he concurred. Celestia always seemed to have it out for him. Forcing him to spend time with those ponies.

He tried thinking of chaos to help him sleep for the stars began to shine through some cotton candy clouds above.

"I guess it's time to spell-proof the castle. Though I can hardly find my way through as it is." Twilight walked through the bedroom doors of her assistant. "Spike?" The baby dragon shot up, rubbing his eyes.

"Yeah?" he inquired.

Her face was solemn. "It's time to Discord-proof the place. We have a visitor as of the next week."

Spike fell back into his pillow. "Great," he said, muffled.
