"So..."

The Alpaca King didn´t answer, he kept chewing his food, completely ignoring Twilight Sparkle.

The newly appointed princess smiled nervously, trying to figure out someway to reach to the stoic ruler of this mountain kingdom.

"Nice weather you have in here. Do you use some kind of magic to control it?"

No answer.

It was a rhetorical question actually, Twilight Sparkle have already done her research on the kingdom but she was desperately trying to get some sort of reaction out of the king. Otherwise, she will have failed on the mission Princess Celestia has appointed her.

"ARGH! This place is so boring!"

And of course, her friends weren't helping.

"Rainbow Dash, be quiet,"

"But it is! They do nothing in here but chew all day and then spit on each other faces,"

"That´s how they express gratitude. Be respectful of their custom, Rainbo-Fluttershy! What are you doing to the Princess?"

Fluttershy stop petting the alpaca Princess "I´m sorry, it´s just she looks so cute. She reminds me of my animal friends back home," and she resumed her petting, something that didn´t seem to bother the Princess that much.

Twilight took a look around and found her other friends were not doing any better. Applejack was arguing about how they should plant apples instead of potatoes, Rarity tried her best not to tear in pieces the poncho she was offered. The only one who seemed to be having a good time was Spike, who was in the balcony happily devouring a bowl of gems.

Noticing the King was looking at her, Twilight tried to save face. "Oh, we´re having a great time in here, your Majesty. We really this beverage, a mate you call it? Mmh, we love this. Right, Pinkie Pie?"

Pinkie had literally been sucked of all colour. "Sour..."

"I don´t even know why we are here..."

"Can´t believe I´ve to explain this to you again, Rainbow. A farmer from the Alpaca Kingdom was found lost in Appleloosa an-"

"No, I mean why are WE here. Can handle things on your own now, Mrs. Big-crowny-thing?" and she poked Twilight´s tiara.

"Rainbow, I do need you here. I´m still new at this whole Princess business, I need all the help I can get,"

"Why? You are doing such a good job so far," and Rainbow turn her back on her.

Twilight took another look and seeing the complete mess this meeting was she sighed, defeated, and moved to the balcony.

"Maybe I wasn´t meant to be a Princess after all..."

"Oh looks like somepony has a dark cloud over his head,"

"Gah! Discord! What are you doing in here?"

"Why, just enjoying my vacation." and he took the dark cloud over Twilight´s head and ate it. "Mm, it needs salt. The truth is that I heard the news about this new kingdom and decided to gave it a look. I have to agree with your friend Rainbow, this place is certainly boring. Wait, I know how to make it better!" and using his chaotic magic he turn the potatoes field into jelly making all the alpacas bounce around.

"Discord, stop this! You promised to not use your magic for evil ever again!"

"Au contraire,mon cheri. I promised to never use my magic in Equestria," and he continued turning the houses into cookies.

"Girls! Come here! We need to stop Discord!"

"Why? Aren´t you a Princess now? Can´t you stop him all alone?"

"Rainbow, stop it! I don´t have time to deal with your problems! Yes, I have new powers but I also have new responsibilities and if you aren´t going to help me with them then stand aside!"

Rainbow didn´t said a word. Applejack instead took the lead "What do you need us to do, Twi?"

"I have been practising in my fail-safe spell but I need time to gather my magic. Fluttershy, Rarity, put the alpacas safe. Applejack, Pinkie go and distract Discord."

The girls spread, leaving Rainbow behind.

"Hey!" Spike protested as Rarity took his gems.

- Time Limit -

Using her magic, Rarity made a trampoline with the ponchos and the gems, making the alpacas bounce to a safe place where Fluttershy took care of them. Meanwhile, Applejack and Pinkie tried to do a "Who´s on first?" routine on Discord.

"Ah, a classic. But seriously, did you think I wouldn´t noticed the glowing alicorn over my head?" Discord pointed out.

"Maybe you should worry more about things under your head!" Rainbow yelled and uppercuts him, turning his head upside down.

"Well, that was totally uncalled for. Why did you did such a thing?" Discord complained.

"Oh i was just trying to turn your attention around,"

This got a laugh out of Discord.

Her magic finally ready, Twilight´s hro lighted and a wave of light engulfed the kingdom, undoing all of Discord´s magic.

"Ohoho, oh well, it was all worthy just for that joke. I guess I´ll try Saddle Arabia next. I always wanted to visit the pyramids," But before he teleported away, he moved next to Fluttershy "Our tea party for Sunday is still on, right?"

Fluttershy nodded.

With Discord gone, Twilight descended next to the Alpaca King and bowed her head, offering her since apologies.

The King response was to spit on her face.

"Hehe, I like this guy!" Rainbow said and proceeded to spit on Twilight too.

The other girls and Spike did the same.

Twilight laughed, being a Princess surely was hard work but having her friends around make thing easier.

(I bite a lot more than I can chew with this one. Still it was a good exercise to push myself. I like this version of Discord.)
