Fear can either be you greatest ally, or you worst enemy. -Scorpan

Sombra's day so far could be put into a mixed bag.

On one hoof, his plan was going along smoothly, as he gained a small amount of trust from Princess Twilight Sparkle, allowing him to begin the corruption process.

On the other hoof, he would have to meet up with all of her friends, which in his words, was "a boring excuse to waste time." The remark left him with a tail slap to the muzzle.

"Now, before we begin the lesson, lets go over the proper way to greet someone," she stated.

Sombra was going to say that it was stupid and that he already knew how to do that, but he didn't want another mark on his face, so he replied sternly, "Good morning. How are you? Do you need me to help?"

"Excellent! Now please go wash up, so you can look neat for the meetings." Sombra did what was asked, and went into the restroom to avoid further conflict.

While going through her checklist, she heard the familiar voice come through. 'Heya Twily!'

Twilight nearly yelped out loud. 'You again,' she thought. She closed her eyes and went into her subconscious. 'Didn't get enough of annoying me?'

'Actually, no. I may seem like a jerk, and my voice may be dark.... but I promise you, I only have our best interests in mind.'

'So, what are you?' Twilight thought back.

'Let's just say, I'm you darkest desires...'

Twilight awoke from her deep trance, and thought to herself. She didn't have any dark desires. She was just a princess who wanted to help everypony out. She represented friendship and harmony!

'But maybe there's more?' She said to herself. 'Maybe there's more to me than I know...'

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything Sparkle."

Sombra's voice woke her from her thoughts. "It's alright. I've took the liberty of inviting my friends here to avoid any... attacks by anyone startled by your appearance," Twilight replied.

"Fine by me. As long as the training begins tonight," Sombra added.

...

"Okay, the first one is... Rainbow Dash!" Twilight called from the papers.

Sombra prepared himself for a shield spell.

"Sombra..."

As soon as Twilight called him out, Rainbow Dash sped in, "This is for convincing the princesses you want to..." Only to crash into the shield at full speed. Awaking with a black eye, Rainbow stated, "**** it. Don't think you have me convinced Sombra!"

"Dash..." Twilight moaned.

"I know your plan. You want to on Twilight's good side, than stab her in the back and take over!"

"Dash..." As Twilight's anger grew, her eyes started glowing green.

"Well it won't be that easy you *******, cause I'm gonna kick your *** before you get a chance to..."

Twilights anger peaked, as purple mist emanated from her green glowing eyes. "Quiet!!!" Rainbow and Sombra turned their intention to Twilight, once again, furious with dark magic.

'Interesting,' Sombra thought. 'The mare has more to her than it seems.'

"Uh, Twi..." Rainbow Dash couldn't finish her line before getting interrupted by Twilight.

"Why are you acting like this?! I've been tasked with reforming Sombra on behalf of Princess Celestia, so please..." Twilight calmed down while her eyes went back to normal, with a saddened face. "Please, give him a chance."

The farce made Rainbow feel guilty. "It's not that I don't trust you, I really do. It's just, do you really think he can change?"

Twilight turned around to Sombra. "He may be cocky, a jerk, and a former tyrant..."

"Nicest things said to me since I was an adult," Sombra added with a sly grin.

"...but if Discord could change, then so can he," Twilight, finished with a smile.

Rainbow Dash pondered this. "If you trust him, then I'll give him a chance." Rainbow grew a smirk. "I will kick your *** if you harm her in anyway."

"Noted," Sombra replied.

...

"So, I guess we're gonna introduce you to town, then I'm gonna throw you a "Welcome to Ponyville Former Tyrant" Party, and take you to Sweet Apple Acres, then take you to Cloudsdale, and let you meet up with the Wonderbolts, and throw you a "You met the Wonderbolts" Party, *long gasp* and explain to you why I think the author is..."

"By god, get her off me!" Sombra yelled while being squeezed into a hug by Pinkie Pie.

Twilight merely giggled at the sight. "Ok Pinkie, I think that's enough."

Pinkie simply dropped Sombra to the floor and hopped on out. "See you later King Sombrero!"

"I swear, is she the only crazy one?" Sombra huffed.

"She's not crazy, she's just having fun and making others happy," Twilight happily replied. 'Course, seeing him in a sombrero would be hilarious.'

'Remind me to get my camera if he does!' Her dark voice replied.

"Ok, there's 3 more left, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy."

...

The meetings with Applejack and Rarity went well compared to the other meetings. While Applejack was being defensive, and Rarity fainted at his sight, they soon got along with him, or at least wasn't punching him. While Applejack kept making Sombra say apple, Rarity and him got along with their interest in jewels and crystals.

'Finally, a sane pony here,' he thought.

Instead of Fluttershy showing up, Discord appeared at the castle door.

"Discord, what are you doing? And where is Fluttershy?" Twilight asked.

"So the Princess of Friendship doesn't want friends over huh?" Discord stretched Twilight's mouth. "Great job with the title!" His grin disappeared instantly. "In all seriousness, Fluttershy didn't want to come because she was scared. Now, she didn't say this, because she didn't want to go against her element, so I'll say it." He pointed at Sombra. "Your a jack***."

"Discord!" Twilight yelled, all dark magic returning to her eyes.

"My my, I didn't know our princess knew such dark magic!" Discord's grin returned.

'I think she looks hot,' the dark voice replied, adding a purr.

Twilight sunk down. Had this been happening for a while? Was this her or someone else's doing?

Sombra stood up. "Pardon me, but I don't think it's a great idea to put a princess under this much pressure. It could be potentially harmful. As for Fluttershy, tell her she has my kings code that I will never harm her in any way, shape, or form, and if I do harm her unintentionally, I will immediately apologize to her."

Discord got all giddy. "Goodie! Fluttershy will be so happy to hear!" He took a tissue and wipe Twilight's face, removing the dark magic from her eyes. "Now if you excuse me, I have a meal to attend to. Cucumber sandwiches, here I come!"

Twilight looked back at Sombra. "Sorry about that. He's... how you say, on the chaotic side."

"I can tell. Now, are you ready for the main event?"

"I don't know. What if Discord was saying something?" Twilight worriedly asked.

"Like I said, your probably just being emotional recently. Now come, I've got a student to train."

Twilight excitingly followed, not noticing the smug and fanged grin that was currently growing on Sombra's face.

'And also an evil queen to make.'

Author's Notes:

Sorry about the short chapter. Just didn't want you guys to wait any longer. But I promise the next chapter will be longer.

If I had a cookie for the times I wrote Discord right, I would leave it up to you guys.

What does Sombra have planned for Twilight? Will she change during the training? Find out soon!
