“I knew you hadn´t changed, Discord, not really?” Twilight Sparkle said, spreading her wings to stand her ground against the King of Chaos.

“Oh, haven't I? What makes you said that?” Discord said, suppressing a chuckle.

“Who else but you could have turned all the Crystal Guards into toys?” Twilight said, waving around the room to all the helpless soldiers, Shining Armor being held by a concerned Princess Cadence.

“Sounds like something i would do…” Discord saying, pulling his goatte.

“And who else has the magic to turn the entire Crystal Empire into candy?” Twilight said, moving over to the balcony.

Outside, Twilight´s friends were trying to help the Crystal Ponies got out the candy buildings. Rainbow Dash noticed Pinkie licking a building and yelled at her.

“Interesting,” Discord pondered. “So you say I'm responsible for this chaos?”

Twilight took a look at the chaos on the empire and sighed, folding her wings on shame. “...no. You're not?”

“What? What do you mean, Twilight?” Princess Cadence said. “Discord broke into my kingdom while you were in charge and attacked my subjects! Right, Twilight?”

“Well, not exactly…” Twilight said, rubbing her neck. “He didn't break in, I actually invited him.”

“Liar liar, pants on my fire!” Discord mocked her, making her a paint of flaming pants.

“I didn't lied, Discord!” Twilight yelled, making the pants go away.

“Twilight…” Cadence said.

Twilight sighed and walked over to Cadence. “When you asked me to babysit your daughter, I was happy, Cadence. I thought I could finally be like you and make you proud but then...well…”

“She made the baby cry!” Discord mocked her.

Twilight frowned but when she noticed Cadence looking mad at her she blushed. “I didn´t meant to. I just...didn´t know how to handle her. Guess not everything can be learned in the books.”

“Told you!” Pinkie shouted, bouncing on a roof turned into jelly.

“So, you got Discord to help you”? Cadence asked.

“No! Not at first, I went looking for Fluttershy but she was busy and she is the one that recommend Discord. She told me that he wanted to prove he was reformed by giving a helping hoof.”

“Claw on my case,” Discord said.

“And this is his idea of helping? Cadence asked.

“Hey, I did a good job! Twilight Sparkle´s exact words were,” Discord said, adding air quotes to the last two words, “Do anything to make the baby laugh. And, just look at her.”

Discord pointed at Spike who was holding the giggling alicorn baby.

“Twilight…” Cadence said, spreading her wings and looking like a very disappointed teacher.

Twilight sighed and lowered her head. “I´m sorry Cadence, I didn't want any of this to happen. But when the baby started crying...I didn't wanted you to be disappointed at me. I thought I knew everything about babies but when it comes to my own niece…” And she approached the baby, who upon seeing Twilight stopped laughing and pulled her mane. “I just can't get her to like me.”

Cadence put down Shining and approached Discord. She didn't even say a word to him, she just looked at him with a menacing glare. Discord obeyed and he snapped his fingers, making everything disappear. The baby started crying right away but just one stern look from Cadence was enough to make her stop. She then approached Twilight whose wings were stuck to her sides and her eyes staring at the floor.  

Cadence lifted Twilight´s face and looked at her right at the eyes:

“You know, things would have gone a lot better if you'd told me this before.”
