Previous Chapter Next Chapter

It was a beautiful day in Ponyville. Twilight, Sunset, Spike, Rainbow, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie and Fluttershy all gathered at the train station. Fluttershy was going to observe the Breezies while Princess Cadence was going to visit Twilight.

"Here's a wrap in case you get cold." said Rarity.

"And I brought you some apples in case you get hungry." added Applejack.

"I hope you have a great time." offered Twilight.

Fluttershy squeaked and would back into Rainbow.

"It's okay Shy. Twilight doesn't want to hurt you." said Rainbow.

Twilight have the cyan pegasus a grateful smile.

"I think it's time to board." noted Sunset flatly.

The guard called for all to board. Fluttershy got on the train said goodbye as the train departed.

"I am nervous about Cadence's visit." confessed Twilight.

"You did betray her." noted Applejack.

"Stabbed her right in the back." added Pinkie flatly.

"I hate to admit this, but the fate of Equestria has hung in the balance during her last get togethers." admitted Rarity.

"Exactly. I don't know she's gonna act." said Twilight worried.

"I'm sure it'll be fine. She wouldn't come here just to harass you." replied Sunset.

Sunset noticed a poster.

"The Starswirl The Beared Traveling Museum is in Ponyville for today only. You can spend the day looking at ancient artifacts." said Sunset.

"That sounds like a splendid idea!" declared Rarity.

"Nerd." coughed Rainbow.

"Well I think it sounds delightful." said Rarity.

"It does sound like you something you'd like." admitted Applejack.

Suddenly, a horn blared and the Crystal Empire train arrived. Flash Sentry walked out and gave Twilight an uncertain look. Cadence walked out and ever pony bowed.

"It's okay. No need for that." said Cadence.

Cadence approached her sister-in-law.

"Hello Twilight." said Cadence softly.

"Um...hello." replied Twilight meekly.

The train took off.

"I'm sure you've got something planned." stated Cadence.

"Twilight and you are going to visit the Starswirl the Bearded Traveling Museum in Ponyville." revealed Sunset.

"You're coming too." said Twilight nervously.

"I've got plans." shrugged Sunset.

"Let's go." said Cadence.

Cadence and Twilight walked off to enjoy their time together.

"Murphy's Law dictates something goes wrong." muttered Sunset.

Before anypony could continue, something went wrong when a blue draconequus dropped from the sky.

"Call it." sighed Sunset.

"What in the hay are you doing here? And what in the jumping junebugs are you blue?" asked Applejack angrily.

"More like a shade of cerulean be to precise." noted Rarity.

"Whatever color you are is the color of trouble!" declared Rainbow.

"Oh. Surely you would never turn away somebody who is ill." said Discord.

After a few seconds, Discord sneezed and a house flew away.

"Well, somepony is screwed." said Sunset.

"Of course I am sick. Oh, could somepony find me a fainting couch." requested Discord.

Applejack, Pinkie, Rainbow and Sunset looked at Rarity.

"What?!" asked Rarity.

Pinkie pushed a pile over luggage over.

"Oh thank you." said Discord.

Discord curled up on the luggage.

"I can't stop wheezing and sneezing. In short, I need help." said Discord.

Discord made a puppy dog face.

"If you're so sick,then why have you come here instead of, you know, staying in bed and getting over your weird illness?" asked Rainbow.

Discord sneezed.

"Because this condition has left me helpless. Incredible helpless." answered Discord weakly.

Applejack raised her eyebrow giving an "are you serious?" expression.

"I can barely lift a spoon." said Discord.

Discord attempted to lift a spoon but failed while the others rolled their eyes.

"I can to find the one pony who can nurse me back to health." revealed Discord.

Discord turned his head.

"Where is my dear, sweet, Fluttershy?" asked Discord.

Discord began to look around.

"I need support. I need attention." began Discord.

"You need to chill. Fluttershy's out." revealed Rainbow.

"Oh yes. Fluttershy's trip. I completely forgot." said Discord.

"How do you know about her trip?" asked Applejack suspiciously.

"Fluttershy told me in her last letter." answered Discord.

Discord pulled a letter out of one of the briefcases and the ponies read it.

"You and Fluttershy write each other." said Pinkie surprised.

"Of course. It's what friends do." replied Discord.

Discord was suddenly appeared like a hospital patient.

"Good thinking!" declared Rainbow.

Rainbow pushed Discord to the station.

"Go home. Kick your feet up. I'm sure you'll be stronger enough to make yourself soup." said Rainbow.

Rainbow returned to the others only to find Discord there.

"No. No. No. I was thinking you would take care of me." said Discord.

Discord popped in between Applejack and Rarity.

"Is that what's friends for?" asked Discord, "Helping each other?"

Discord used extra arms to drag Rainbow, Sunset and Pinkie in.

"Let the healing begin!" declared Discord.

"Not it!" cried Rainbow.

Rainbow Dash shot off.

"Well that's some way to treat a sick friend!" huffed Discord.

Discord sneezed bringing a lamppost to life.

"Well it'll be interesting to see ponies reacting to that." thought Sunset.

"Don't worry Discord! I'll keep warm. Give you cuddles and tell you all about me." said Pinkie.

Pinkie hugged Discord.

"I was born on a Tuesday..." began pinkie.

Discord separated himself to escape.

"That's so nice." replied Discord.

Discord put Pinkie in a tree.

"But Applejack and Rarity already volunteered to be my own personal nursemaids." said Discord.

"We did?" asked Rarity and Applejack in unison.

"So I hope you don't mind pinkie." said Discord.

"As a matter of fact..." began Pinkie.

"Pinkie, please don't." requested Sunset.

Pinkie shrugged and hopped off.

"That jokester is up to something. And whatever it is we need to keep it far away from Princess Cadence." whispered Applejack.

Discord was low lying in a hospital bed.

"You're right. But, I wish something was something else." agreed Rarity.

Discord suddenly appeared.

"Did I hear you talking about Princess Cadence's visit?" asked Discord.

"Maybe." answered Applejack.

"Fluttershy did mention she was visiting Ponyville." said Discord.

Discord stroked his bread.

"I would hate for them to be interrupted." said Discord.

"Don't even think of it!" declared Rarity.

"You'll be a statue again if you try it." warned Sunset.

"I don't need to considering you two have volunteered to nurse me. Especially since my flu is highly contagious." said Discord.

Discord again sneezed. Applejack and Rarity suddenly turned blue and sneezed.

"Oh no. I've gotten you all sick." said Discord, "How ever will nurse me back to health now?"

Discord poofed away unknowing Sunset used a shield to defend himself.

"Oh crap." sighed Sunset.


Meanwhile, Twilight and Cadence had gone to the museum. Ponies where giving Twilight death glares and whispering about her. Twilight heard ever cutting word said. Cadence did stay close to Twilight and it almost seemed like she was trying to comfort her. Cadence lead her to the candle Starswirl used to light the way when he was exploring the caves of Maretania. The candle shook

"Discord! What are you doing here?!" asked Twilight angered.

Discord suddenly ducked behind the table holding the candle.

'What are you doing here?!" asked Discord horrified.

"I am visiting with Cadence." answered Cadence.

"Why are you blue?" asked Cadence.

"He's sick." answered Sunset.

Having galloped over, Sunset quickly filled Twilight and Cadence in.

"Alas, I require Princess Cadence to heal me back to health." stated Discord.

Twilight frowned sadly.

"But..." began Twilight.

"I'm visiting Twilight. I can't." stated Cadence.

Twilight gave her sister-in-law a warm smile.

"I'll nurse you to health." said Sunset.

"You don't have to do this." said Twilight.

"I do. Just enjoy Cadence's visit." replied Sunset.


The two shared a kiss and parted ways. Sunset led Discord to Golden Oaks Library to tend to him. Much to her chagrin. Twilight and Cadence resumed their trip, but ponies continued to whisper and give Twilight death glares. Cadence did seem to try and comfort Twilight, but this only upset Twilight more. Finally, the museum closed causing the sister-in-laws to go Golden Oaks Library.

"Well that was fun." said Cadence.

"Yup." agreed Twilight flatly.

"What are you favorite part?" asked Cadence.

"Whatever." answered Twilight flatly.

"Twilight, what's wrong?" asked Cadence concerned.

"Nothing." answered Twilight flatly.

Cadence got in front of Twilight.

"Twilight Sparkle, tell me what is wrong." demanded Cadence.

"You where trying to comfort me all day when other ponies where giving me shit and when Discord showed up." said Twilight.

"Of course." replied Cadence.

Twilight stayed silent.

"We're sisters-in-law and we've know each other for ages." said Cadence.

"Then why didn't you visit me?!" asked Twilight angrily.

Cadence was taken aback by the outburst.

"I was rotting away in the cell and when I get out nopony except Sunset and Spike where there!" exclaimed Twilight.

Cadence looked away ashamed.

"Why?" asked Twilight hurt.

"I couldn't." answered Cadence.

"Why not?" asked Twilight sadly.

"After Sombra was killed, Shinning and I had to rebuild the Crystal Empire. It was hard. Not to mention Shinny is Equestrian and we're both related to you. Public trust for us was not exactly high. We had to fix that and I am afraid that meant staying away from you. I am sorry and wish I didn't have to." explained Cadence.

Cadence sat on her flank and held out her hooves.

"Sunshine, Sunshine, Ladybugs awake..." began Cadence.

Twilight looked at Cadence's eyes and would reciprocate.

"Clap your hooves..." began Twilight.

Both got up and turned around.

"And do a little shake." said them both.

The two shared a hug.

"I love you Twilight." said Cadence.

"I love you too." replied Twilight sobbing.


The two returned home to find the others already there. Applejack and Fluttershy where not happy with Twilight's arrival, but neither dared to say anything due to Cadence being present. Sunset explained how Discord faked his illness and dragged her to the ends of Equestria only for a Tatzulwurm to attack them. They survived, but Discord got ill now. As Cadence talked to Discord, Sunset pulled Twilight aside.

"How'd it go?" asked Sunset.

"Good." answered Twilight.

"Did, you make up?" asked Sunset.

"Yes." answered Twilight.

The two ponies hugged.

"I'm so happy for you." said Sunset.

"Thanks." replied Twilight.
