Boots kept forcing everyone over to a mysterious location.

"Move along now, 'sweetie', your animal friends can't help you now." Discord shoved Fluttershy.

Fluttershy trembled, but did as he said, not liking this one bit. Discord looked firm to her, but he looked a little sad, almost as though he felt bad what he was doing to her.

"Don't forget about me, Discord." Patch said.

"You cannot do anything..." Discord sneered to the puppy.

The doors opened and there seemed to be dooming music as Boots and Discord shoved them all inside. Once they were all inside, the doors shut behind them.

"Oh, you'd be surprised." Patch said.

Once they were all forced in, Claudia was now scolding Boots and Discord.

"We have to get to the wands." Murray whispered sharply.

"What?" Claudia looked to him, hearing him say something.

Murray made strange noises now.

"Oh, nothing, nothing." Patch said.

"Oh, great, another talking animal," Claudia said before using her powers to change Patch into his human form. "You look better this way."

"You do look handsome, but I think you're perfect just the way you are." Amber soothed Patch.

Claudia looked to the crowd, wondering what to do with them.

Boots struggled as she carried the mace, but Discord helped her carry it, a little annoyed with the dog turned human.

Claudia took Annabelle, Darla, and Amber, observing them.

"Don't hurt them!" Murray cried, a little protectively.

"My wand... I'm sure one of you have it..." Claudia grinned darkly to the three little girls.

"No, don't tell her, girls!" Atticus said.

"Don't even look at her!" Rarity added.

Boots snarled at them to shut them up. Murray barked back. It was then a barking match between Boots, Murray, Spike, and Patch.

"Now, girls..." Claudia faked generosity in her voice, trying to talk them into revealing where the final wand was.

But they weren't going to give in and tell her where the wand was.

"Give it up, Claudia, they'll never tell you where the wand is." Patch said, coming over to the girls side.

"Very wlel... If needs be..." Claudia stood up firmly. "I'll choose what the fates will be... These children wish..."

After a long pause, Boots spoke up. "To... Be great dancers!"

BINGO!" Claudia beamed to her, she then got her finger ready to make a spell, she could do it with all the magic absorbed in her.

"Claudia, don't!" Murray stood up in worry.

Claudia zapped the three girls, making them wear white dresses with their hairs in buns and they looked like ballerinas and they would be forced to dance for all eternity.

"Oh no, girls!" Atticus and Patch said out of shock.

"This is getting annoying..." Darla murmured.

"Guys, please help!" Annabelle called.

"We don't wanna dance!" Amber added. "We can't stop!"

"Oh, yes you can!" Discord retorted. "Just as soon as you tell us where in this reckless city is Claudia's wand?"

"Come on, guys, this is is so demented!" Applejack called as Pinkie Pie joined the girls, finding fun in the punishment.

"Oh, it's a cute picture," Claudia insisted. "But... Something's off."

The three little girls got on steps together and bent their legs to make their feet touch the back of their heads.

Discord then got an idea as he looked to Murray, Atticus, and Patch. "I think those three girls need dance partners and I think I have found their three dance partners." he said, showing her the three he thought that would be perfect and would also be needing to be punished.

Murray yelled out once they were forced to dance with the three ballerinas. Once they came, the three girls had no choice but to dance with them.

"Guys, we can't keep them dancing forever." Boots told her superiors.

"No, no, not forever, just until one of them breaks." Claudia said.

"And thank out fabulous conductors!" Discord added, rather over the top.

Claudia and Discord disappeared just then, becoming the maestros with the musicians playing music for the dancers.

The dancers were then made to kick their legs against their will.

"Help us, Murray!" Annabelle cried.

"HELP YOU!?" Murray gave her a look. "One of you HELP ME!"

Claudia and Discord laughed at the spread of chaos and misfortune on the good people. They then made the music go even faster, forcing the dancers to stretch every muscle possible in their bodies. It looked very outrageous and dizzy for anyone watching them.

"This is insane!" Rainbow Dash cried.

The girls and Patch were looking like they were wanting to give up. The music swelled quick enough to make the boys lift up the girls with one hand by their feet and they all yelled out in a panic. Claudia and Discord kept laughing at them. It even switched to where the girls could lift the boys the same way as the lightning from outside flashed. Soon, everything disappeared and the boys fell in the middle of the floor and everyone was back to their normal clothes.

"I GIVE UP!" Annabelle yelled out, feeling so tortured. "I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANNA KNOW! I give up! I give up!" she ran to Discord and Claudia. "I give up, I'll tell you everything..."

"Annabelle!" everyone yelled out to the girl, not wanting that to happen.

"I believe we have a winner." Discord chuckled, lifting the girl up by holding her arm.

"I believe you are correct, Discord," Claudia said and then acting sympathetic towards Annabelle. "Oh, you poor thing."

"Come with us to the back with your friends," she cooed, then looked to Boots. "You, stay with twinkle toes," she commanded, referring to Murray, Atticus, and Patch. "If they make one move, give them a case of rabies."

The three girls blinked as they clutched to the Mane Six and Spike.

"Just between us girls, where's my wand?" Claudia continued to ask.

"Yes, do tell." Discord added with a flash of his red eyes.

"Central Park, near the boats." Annabelle replied quickly.

"Yeah." Darla said.

"But we want something in return." Amber said, making Claudia and Discord frown in slight annoyance.

"It's always something, isn't it, Discord?" Claudia sighed, but looked back to them. "What? Do you want to go home?"

"No, something better." Annabelle said with a smile.

"Something better?" Discord questioned, but shrugged it off. "Very well, child... What is your wish?"

"I want you to use your powers to turn my father back before the spell Murray cast that he totally screwed up." Annabelle stated, making Murray glance back at her.

"Wise decision, I wouldn't send a man to do a woman's job." Claudia nearly scoffed.

"Couldn't agree more, ma'am." Darla said, acting like her old self.

"We'll tell you the details," Amber faked being evil. "You won't believe the things he did."

"Girls, what're you doing?" Fluttershy sounded alarmed.

Twilight shushed her, then whispered to her. "I think they have an idea."

Murray, Patch, and Atticus kept trying to get the wands, but Boots kept snarling at them with the mace.

"Okay girl, just calm down, couldn't hurt to try." Atticus said.

Boots growled about being a witch.

"Listen lady, I've known many witches in my day and you are no witch!" Murray retorted.

Boots looked to them and narrowed her eyes. "Claudia and Discord promised me..."

"And you believed them?" Patch asked.

This made Murray make a face and knock himself on the head.

"They're lying to you, I mean hello, she's an evil witch and that's Discord, the Lord of Chaos and Disharmony." Atticus said.

"They wouldn't lie to me!" Boots looked back to Discord and Claudia. "They're my friends!"

Murray whispered sharply, reminding her of the horse turned into a mouse that Claudia and Discord were going to keep for themselves. Discord and Claudia looked to Boots and gave her a warning look as they talked with the human Mane Six, Spike, and the three little girls.

Boots looked back to Murray, Atticus, and Patch and started to growl viciously like a guard dog. She was very angry and felt used by Claudia and Discord, then stormed off to them, leaving Atticus, Patch, and Murray alone with the wands. Murray looked around as that went well for them and he looked up to see Cherry by the window and saw that she had the last wand.

'Yes, she has Murray's wand! Now, all she needs to do is give it back to Murray.' Atticus thought.

Murray walked up to the girl in the window and held out his hands.

Cherry was a little unsure about throwing it to him, she felt he wouldn't be able to catch it. She then felt even more nervous about doing this, but she grabbed onto the drapes and slid down them, trying not to get herself hurt, but she had fallen on top of Murray by accident. Boots looked over and nearly barked.

Claudia got up, leaving the girls and Spike as she went to check things out. She took some paper and was going to hit it at Boots like someone would do with a misbehaving pet. "You were supposed to watch them, Boots," she scolded. "BAD DOG! BAD DOG!" she snapped, making Boots whimper and yell out from the paper whacks.

"Ooh, that's a punishment no dog ever wants." Patch said.

"Is he really that bad?" Atticus asked.

"My sister Merryweather does worse." Murray whispered.

"Boys!" Claudia called to them with an evil smirk. "You weren't thinking of leaving, were you?"

"What?! No. What?! No! No, of course we weren't thinking of leaving." Patch said.

"I also decided I'm not angry..." Murray smiled bashfully.

"How dare you mock me!" Claudia snapped.

"How dare you mock you mock me!" Murray retorted.

"CUT IT OUT!"

"Cut it out!"

Claudia grabbed his throat then, having enough of his childish games, becoming the true Queen of Darkness with Discord as her King.

"I'll help you out." Discord told the group he was with, shocking them.

"D-D-Discord," Fluttershy trembled. "W-W-Why would you wanna h-h-help u-us?"

"Love makes people do crazy things." Discord said to her.

"Huh!?" Fluttershy squeaked, not sure what he meant by that.

"I don't get it, Discord, last time you weren't like this." Rainbow Dash said.

"Maybe he's started to get feelings." Darla guessed.

"You don't look so happy, Claudia," Murray said to their enemy. "Just look at those 'voodoo' eyes."

Claudia gasped and needed to look in a mirror and stat. Murray then quickly grabbed something while she wasn't looking. Boots pulled over the trunk of wands as she watched over the Mane Six, Discord, Darla, Amber, Annabelle, and Spike.

"Quick, we have to stop her from burning all of those wands in the fire." Twilight whispered to Discord, Spike, the girls, and the group.

"But how?" Spike whimpered.

Fluttershy looked around, trying to find some sort of solution while Murray, Atticus, and Patch stalled Claudia and she had threatened to break every bone in their bodies. She used magic to zap them and it was even enough to weaken Atticus and Patch, their bones snapping as their bodies became rubbery now.

"What are we going to do?" Fluttershy was worried.

Claudia pulled and stretched the boys, making them literally putty in her hands and made them snap against the window, barely sticking to it like they were just as useful as chewing gum and they fluttered down the stairs.

"Wait, don't dogs love to chew on shoes?" Spike asked.

The girls bit their lips as it was 11:25 now. They were quickly running out of time. Claudia had her back turned and was taunting Murray, Atticus, and Patch.

"One of you give us your shoes." Darla told the human Mane Six.

"Absolutely not!" Rarity shrieked.

"Just do it, we're running out of time." Amber said.

They all removed their shoes.

"Hey, Boots!" Discord called, getting her attention. "Check out the All You Can Chew Buffet over here!"

Boots looked, she dropped the wands she had back into the trunk and looked tempted.

"Who loves these shoes?" Darla tempted with a smirk.

"I love those shoes!" Boots looked like her dog self, very eager to be able to chew on them.

"Sit, girl." Annabelle commanded.

Boots's eyes widened and she instantly sat.

"Stay." Amber then said, having a lot of experience of dogs, despite not being able to have her own.

Boots panted wildly and did as they said, falling for the traditional dog tricks. Claudia turned and saw this, going over to them. Murray was able to get on his back, seeing both Charlie and Cherry now and signaled for them to come right over with his wand. Cherry wasn't sure how else to do it, so she rolled the wand on the floor over to them. Claudia heard that, she stomped on Atticus's hand just as he reached for it, since Atticus wasn't that strong anymore, it really, really hurt.

"Ow!" Atticus yelled. "I hate witchcraft!"

"Get used to it, PUNK!" Claudia spat at him. She got the wand and noticed Cherry and Charlie had been hiding.

The clock was still ticking and it felt worse and worse as the hands moved surely to make it 12:00 midnight.

'We're almost out of time,' Patch thought. 'There's gotta be something we can do to defeat Claudia.'

Boots still whined and whimpered about the shoes after everyone put them back on and there was no use trying to bribe her with them again.

"That's enough, you!" Cherry snapped at the dog turned human woman.

"Allow me..." Fluttershy said softly, her eyes then widened as she gave a very intense stare with her teal-colored eyes.

Boots looked at her eyes and whimpered, that stare always got anyone to do what she wanted or to force them to stop whatever they were doing that she didn't like.

"How did you do that?" Discord was surprised at her ability despite being a shy and scared Pegasus.

"Works every time," Fluttershy smiled. "Especially when foalsitting the Cutie Mark Crusaders."

"You'd make an excellent mother." Discord chuckled to her which made her blush.

"N-No, I wouldn't." Fluttershy said while blushing.

"Yes you would, you are good with kids and animals." Atticus said, remembering The Stare Master episode.

Fluttershy had a small giggle, but now was not a good time.

"I have all the magic I could have ever wanted," Claudia grinned. "All within me and the chaos..."

"We're going to share, right?" Discord asked, remembering their deal.

"Are you kidding!?" Claudia glared at him. "I never loved you! You're just an old dragon, I used your chaos to help me get the magic I need, you're nothing to me!"

"Dang!" Even Cherry had standards.

"I'll retire someday and I'll talk to myself with my little witch..." Claudia said as she looked to Boots while taking a sip of something to drink. "We'll make a difference. What's a good name for going into order? Oh, I could go on... I go on confidence that evil will triumph over good!" she said, then took a drink.

Discord now felt betrayed and angered like Boots did earlier.

"That sounds wonderful if you're a troll." Atticus retorted.

"BAH!" Claudia threw her glass to the fire, angered with them.

THis made the thunder rumble and the lightning flash the worse it ever had.

"Cl-Claudia, can I ask you a question?" Boots spoke up.

Claudia looked to her. "No." she declined simply.

"B-But, what about me?" Boots asked anyway.

"What about you?" Claudia sneered.

Boots nodded, smiling, she still had hope.

Claudia hissed to Boots about tolerating her companionship, similar to how she lashed out at Discord, breaking her heart and her loyalty to Claudia.

"But we're friends..." Boots frowned.

"Friends!?" Claudia mocked her. "Me!? With you!? You mean you with those beady little eyes, and twitchy ears, and your incessant whining and scratching!? YOU WHO FILLS THE AIR WITH AN UNSPEAKABLE STENCH!?"

Boots went to her dog bed, but growled at Claudia, not believing she would be treated this way. Discord and Fluttershy looked angered like parents with a child that was publicly bullied. How dare Claudia call out to poor Boots that way.

Even Patch began to growl at Claudia for treating Boots like that. "YOU TAKE THAT BACK!" he exclaimed out of anger.

"Why should I!?" Claudia laughed wickedly.

"But you promised!" Boots cried out.

"Only a dumb mutt would believe a witch's promise." Claudia taunted.

Boots had enough, she looked very cross. She decided she had enough of Claudia's dirt treatments. Spike was about to bite Claudia, but instead, Boots did it. When Claudia yelled out, Boots scampered away like the dog she truly was. Claudia went to chase after her.

"Quick, get the wands!" Twilight called to her friends.

"You guys get the wands, I'm going to protect Boots." Patch said before running off to protect his new friend.

Claudia cornered Boots. "I'VE HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH!"

"Okay, get the wands out of here, hurry!" Murray told them.

Charlie and Annabelle closed the trunk and carried it.

"Quick, to the door!" Amber called.

"No, Claudia, no more!" Patch said out of determination while protecting his new friend.

Claudia glared back at him and kicked him out of the way. Patch whined due to his strength being gone, but he wasn't going to let this witch push him or Boots around.

"I'll show you two!" Claudia zapped them, turning them back into weak and defenseless dogs. "DEFY ME, WILL YA!?"

Murray flinched when he first tried to grab his wand, due to it being in the fireplace, but he got it. He put it in Claudia's drink to put out the flames, but it made him jump back from the extra flames it gave off. Claudia came to him and tackled him down to the ground.

'I don't know about you, Patch, but I'm out of here.' Boots barked to the Dalmatian puppy, then went to get the wand as Claudia and Murray wrestled each other for it and she quickly went up the steps, avoiding them both.

'I'm coming with you so then, you won't be alone.' Patch barked as he followed her.

Claudia tried to go after Boots, but Murray still wanted to fight.

Boots snarled as Claudia's back was turned. 'Hold onto this for me.' she told the fellow dog about the wand, she was going to give Claudia the worst payback known to man. She leaped in the air and gave Claudia a firm bite right on the tuchus.

Claudia yelled out, that was a heck of a bite, it even made her fall down to the floor.

"Good girl!" Discord praised.

Boots ran back to join Patch up the stairs.

"Stupid animal!" Claudia sneered about Boots. "Give me my wand!"

"Never, you old hag!" Patch barked at Claudia.

Claudia slid up the banister, using Discord's chaos and her black magic, then glared to Boots and Patch. "Give me the wand and I promise I'll be super nice! Okay?"

"Come on, Boots!" Murray called. "Want me to 'wub your tummy wummy'?"

"Don't listen to him! Give the wand to me now... Come on, poochy!"

Boots and Patch looked to each other with a nod and they both ran down the stairs again. Boots had jumped into Murray's arms and he caught her. Murray smiled victoriously as he held the wand, making everyone cheer for him.

"Boy howdy!" Applejack threw her hat in the air and caught it again.

"Yes, you got the wand back, Murray!" Atticus exclaimed.

"Good riddance!" Claudia hissed, she tried to zap Murray and Boots, but she ended up hitting the mirror, which meant the magic would bounce back and hit her instead. The magic from the mirror wrapped around her waist and started to pull her in to trap her. She was now trapped and would never be able to come back unless someone reversed the spell, but then again, who would? "DO SOMETHING, YOU IDIOTS!"

"O, Mirror Mirror on the Wall, now who's the smartest of them all?" Murray taunted.

"I am! I am!" Claudia yelled as she patted against the glass.

"Careful, you'll give yourself seven years bad luck." Cherry reminded her.

However, Claudia pounded too hard and the mirror fell off the wall and shattered the glasses into a bunch of pieces.

"Staring now..." Amber smirked, surprisingly evil for herself.

It was about 15 minutes to midnight now and they still had to get back to Oliver!

"Uh-oh, we better go now." Patch said.

"Murray, don't leave me like this!" Claudia called, but she was shut out.

"I think you need to reflect on your life, hon..." Discord joked as he went off with Fluttershy.

"Come on, Murray!" Charlie called.

"Hurry, hurry!" Annabelle added.

The driver drove as quickly as he could with all of them in.
