Discord's Birthday Shenanigans
Chapter 28: Aftermath
Previous Chapter“Hold still darling,” Rarity said as she stuck another pin into Discord’s back.
“I don’t see why I have to be the mannequin when you have plenty of extra ones over there,” he replied, rolling his eyes. Rarity hummed happily as she finished the stitching, reaching for a cup of tea.
“Because other mannequins don’t create such wonderful tea and biscuits,” she replied, tapping the teacup lightly on Discord’s horn. He sighed and snapped his talons, filling the teacup with hot tea and dropping in a lump of sugar.
“You have the most powerful being in Equestria for a day and you’re using him as a sewing dummy?” Twilight asked, walking in the door with Rainbow Dash, Spike, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie.
“I find enjoyment in the little things in life,” Rarity said. “Would you like some tea? This really is quite fantastic. Anyway, what are you planning on doing on your day with him?”
“Pull more pranks, duh!” Rainbow Dash smiled. “Only this time, whatever I say goes.”
“I’m going to throw the biggest, most perfect party EVER!” Pinkie Pie shouted, springing into the air.
“I do have several old books that could use restoring. And some spells for you to try,” Twilight said. “They’re a little beyond my level, but having some notes on them would be very fun.”
“We could use a little help around the farm. Some trees haven’t been feeling too well and I thought you could cure them,” Applejack said.
“You got any more of those gems?” Spike asked Discord, drooling as a pizza encrusted with diamonds appeared at his feet.
“Wonderful, wonderful… now Discord, if you’d just move a little to your left, raise your left claw, and turn this silk into solid gold, but softer?” Rarity asked politely.
And so…
Rarity had a wonderful day, creating fifty different expensive-looking dresses without costing her a dime.
Spike gorged himself on valuable gemstones and passed out with a tummyache.
Applejack’s trees came to life and had a little square dance, returning to the ground completely cured.
Rainbow Dash had fun for three days frightening the daylights out of everypony she could think of.
Pinkie Pie founded international party day, where everypony in Equestria forgot their troubles and partied their guts out from dawn to dusk.
Twilight restored a single history book by traveling through time.
