"Woo! Finally!" Scootaloo cheered, pumping her hooves in the air.

"Uh, lucky," Discord grumbled, crossing his arms.

"Oh come on Discord! It's only another week, no big deal right?"

"Say that to my fingers! They can barely stand not snapping and making chaos! They're dying with boredom here!" He wiggled his fingers in her face. She pushed them away.

"Well, you could always use your magic and then get dragged and tickled by Rainbow again, or wait another week. I mean, I know a week felt like forever to me, but I'm just a kid."

"Yeah, but you could only not hang out with your friends! I can't use magic! And I got an extra week!"

"Well, we both learned our lessons, I guess. I shouldn't prank you, and you can't act like a kid, so yeah."

"But I'm the God of Chaos! Not even Fluttershy grounded me!"

"Hey, just deal with it." Scootaloo turned to head outside.

"Where you off to?"

"To do the thing I couldn't do for a week," she replied.

"Well, at least let me come with you, as I'm just about on the verge of insanity right now from boredom."

"Uh, fine, but don't be mean to my friends."

"When was I ever mean to your friends?"

"I never said you were. I just meant that you shouldn't." She flew up to his horns and settled down right between them.

"And what do you think you're doing?" He looked up at her.

"What? I've been up here before."

"Yeah, but I'm usually sitting down."

"If you're coming with us, then I'm going to get something out it. My wings are tired."

"Whatever. Where are we meeting them then?"

"At Carousel Boutique."

"Okay then- off we go!" Discord hopped into the air, and shot out the door. Scootaloo hung on to his horns as he sped up. The little filly was almost thrown off as he did a loop-de-loop. Then he stopped, flinging her off of his head and into the side of the building. Which was Carousel Boutique.

"Scootaloo! You're here! Finally!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed, running out to meet her friend. She stopped, perplexed, seeing nopony. She looked up and saw her stuck in the wall, only her waist and down visible. "And you brought Discord! Why?"

A groan was her only response.

"Oh, she finally here?" Apple Bloom asked, coming outside to stand next to the unicorn.

"Yep. But she's brought somepony else along too. . ."

"Well, who is- oh." She looked up.

"Hello my little ponies! Scootaloo's just stuck in a wall, no big deal! I'll get her out," Discord said, going forward to pull her hooves. He grabbed onto her back hooves and yanked them. She didn't budge. He pulled again, this time managing to get her out. She landed on his back on her stomach (if you didn't even get that at all, she was on her stomach, on his back, which means he was laying on his stomach).

"Thanks. But, you were the one that made me get stuck in the wall in the first place, so I'm not sure," Scootaloo said, sitting up.

"Get off."

"Oh, right." She hopped off him and he stood up.

"So, um, why is he here?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Not that I don't like him or anything, it's just, you know. . ."

"Well, he was bored. And why not? Maybe he can help?"

"Yeah, and Ah think Ah know what he can help us do," Apple Bloom told them, a mischievous glint in her eyes and rubbing her front hooves together.

"You do?" Discord asked.

About ten minutes later. . .

"Um, I'm not sure what I think of this," he said uncomfortably. He was sitting in a cannon.

"Just relax! We're being Cutie Mark Crusaders Cannon Launchers!" Sweetie Belle told him.

"But why am I the cannon ball?"

"To make it funner!" Scootaloo exclaimed.

"It's more fun, not funner!" Sweetie corrected her.

"Same thing!"

"No it's not!"

"Whatever!"

"Where'd you get this cannon?" Discord asked.

"Um, I don't think you need to know that," Sweetie Belle said.

"Stop arguin' girls! We need to light this already," Apple Bloom said.

"This really doesn't seem safe."

"It's super safe! We have a mattress down there, so when you fall you land on it," Scootaloo said.

"What if you miss?"

"Don't doubt our skills!" Sweetie Belle commanded.

"Can't I just fly?"

"No flyin'! We have to do this," Apple Bloom said sternly.

"Is Spike coming?" Scootaloo asked.

"I'm here. What did you need me for?" Spike asked, coming up behind them. They stepped out of the way to reveal Discord in the cannon. "Oh. I see. . ." He paused. "That's hilarious!" The baby dragon fell to the ground laughing. The draconequus growled.

"Will you light it?"

"Yeah sure." He went up to the wick and blew a few sparks on it. It started burning and quickly devoured the rest of the wick.

"Get ready girls!" Apple Bloom shouted. The ponies plugged their ears.

"Ya know I'm here still," Spike deadpanned. The cannon fired and Discord was shot out of it. His panicked shout was lost in the wind as he soared through the sky. The girls and dragon watched as he sailed over the mattress.

"Oh no. I think we misjudged the power of the cannon," Sweetie Belle said. They heard a dull thud and then silence.

"Um, he landed," Apple Bloom announced.

"Thank you, Captain Obvious!" Sweetie Belle said.

"You're welcome, Miss Snooty."

"Come on, let's go find him," Scootaloo said.

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS RESCUERS!" the three fillies yelled.

Two minutes later. . .

Discord was in a tree. Not up a tree, but in a tree. Literally. His horns were stuck in the tree.

"Seriously?! You girls missed!" Discord yelled, furious.

"I hear him! Come on!" Scootaloo shouted back to her friends. The spirit groaned. "Oh, there he is!" The ponies ran up to him.

"Oh my. Well, we totally overshot that!" Sweetie Belle announced.

"Thanks, Captain Obvious!" Apple Bloom sneered.

"Don't use my joke on me!"

"Anyways, we totally misjudged the cannon's power."

"You think!? I'm stuck in a tree! Now get me out!" Discord snapped, trying to pull himself out. He put his paws on the tree and tugged. The fillies grabbed his tail and yanked. After about five minutes, they stopped. They were getting nowhere.

"This is harder than I thought!" Scootaloo said, wiping her forehead off. The three Crusaders fell to the ground.

"Yeah, says the ponies that got me stuck in this tree in the first place."

"I think we might need to get Rainbow."

"Yeah, you should go get her," Apple Bloom told her.

"Okay. Be right back." Scootaloo shot off to her house, leaving the other two behind with Discord. She flew inside and crashed into her mom, spilling her coffee that she had been holding.

"Hey! Scootaloo be more careful!" Rainbow Dash growled, shaking the brown drink off her mane and wings.

"We need your help!"

"With what? This doesn't have to do with Discord does it? Because I haven't seen him all day."

"Um. . ."

"I should've known. Take me there." She sighed.

Scootaloo nodded and led the pegasus to where the spirit was stuck in the tree. Upon seeing him like that, she started to laugh. And did she laugh! It seemed all she did these days was laugh at Discord. After about five nonstop minutes of hysterical laughter, she wiped the tears from her eyes and assessed the situation.

"So-heh- how did this happen?"

"Well, we were being Cutie Mark Crusaders Cannon Launchers, and we were off in the distance by a few feet. . ." Sweetie Belle explained.

"A few feet?! The mattress is all the way back there!" Discord shouted.

"I think that's hilarious. Now, let's get you out of there," Dash said, latching onto his tail with Scootaloo grabbing onto her tail and the others behind her. "Heave! Heave!" The four and Discord pulled with all their might. "Almost there!. . ."

He came free of the tree with a final large tug, and was sent flying over the ponies, landing with an ungraceful flop into the grass.

"Finally!"

"Uh, that was tirin' but funny," Apple Bloom said. The ponies watched as Discord stood up dizzily and fell back over again, holding his head.

"Yeah, and I think I could go with something to eat," Rainbow said. The others nodded. "To SugarCube Corner!" They cheered and set off with Discord woozily following them.

"Bye girls!" Scootaloo yelled, waving to her friends as they left. She turned around and followed Rainbow inside.

"I'm tired from being stuck in a tree, so I'm gonna go ahead and claim the bed," Discord told them, flying into the bedroom. Dash rolled her eyes.

"What are we gonna do now?"

"I don't know. What do you want to do?" Rainbow asked.

"Um, I don't know."

"Well, I have no safe ideas, so. . ."

"Oh."

"It is pretty late. . . maybe we should just go to bed now."

"I think we should do an all-nighter!"

"Hmm, I don't know kid. Maybe another night."

"Okay, okay. But we have to do it before next week."

"Fine. But when we do, I get to tell scary stories."

"Agreed!"

"And goodnight!" The blue pegasus flew off to her room and Scootaloo went to hers. Upon arriving in her room, Rainbow saw Discord already fast asleep. She climbed in next to him. As she was falling asleep, she felt his paws wrap around her unconsciously, pulling her closer. The pegasus smiled and fell asleep.

"Hey Scootaloo!" Sweetie Belle yelled, waving her friend over to her with a hoof. Scootaloo raced over there, her scooter making rainbow trails behind her. She took off her helmet and held it under her arm.

"What's up?" Scootaloo asked.

"Well, Rarity's really busy making some dresses, as usual, and she said I could stay at a friends house! So I thought maybe we can get Apple Bloom and have a sleepover at your place."

"Um, Sweetie Belle, you do realize I live on a cloud, right?"

"Well, yes, but I already thought about that. You see, we've already spent the night at everypony's house except for yours, right? So, all we would have to do is get Apple Bloom, and then we ask Rainbow if we can spend the night, then we get Twilight to perform the spell on us, and then we're set!" Sweetie Belle jumped excitedly.

"Well, I suppose so. . . I mean, that does sound like a lot of fun. . ." Scootaloo rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "You know what, let's do it! Come on, we don't have a moment to lose! I'll ask Rainbow, you get Apple Bloom!"

"Alright!" Sweetie Belle hopped into the air, her feet running madly, only a blur, as she shot off to Sweet Apple Acres. Scootaloo stuck her helmet back on and buzzed her wings, sending her scooter flying across the ground. She took a detour and rode up a wooden plank, landing on the roof of a house. She jumped the rooftops, aiming for a trampoline on the other side. Landing on the bouncy platform, the filly sprang back into the air, making a rainbow across the sky. She dropped her scooter on the clouds and fell in through the window of her house. Rainbow Dash shot into the air, leaving Discord to take to the hit. He rolled with the impact, taking him off his feet, and landed on his back with Scootaloo under him.

"Do you always have to enter the most dramatic ways possible? Isn't one pegasus doing that enough?" Discord growled, rolling off Scootaloo.

"What's the rush Scoots?" Rainbow asked, helping the filly up.

"Well, Sweetie Belle told me that Rarity was busy and that she could stay at a friends house and I was wondering if all of us could have a sleepover here!" Scootaloo exclaimed, smiling widely at the blue pegasus. She stopped when she saw the frown on her face.

"Sorry kid, but there's this Wonderbolts Convention this weekend, and I was going to go to it, so I won't be here."

"But. . ."

"Unless Discord looks after you three. . . then you can." She smiled slyly at the spirit.

"No! No way! I do not want to look after three fillies!" Discord shouted.

"Please Discord?" Scootaloo begged, putting her hooves together. He looked away and crossed his arms. The filly glanced over at Rainbow, who was already smirking. She pulled at feather from her wing and nodded her head towards him. Scootaloo nodded vigorously, smiling. Then Discord looked over.

"Whoa! No fair! No!" Too late. Rainbow tackled him and Scootaloo held him down. The cyan pegasus started tickling him with it, drawing it over his skin. He laughed like a maniac, trying to get away, but Scootaloo prevented him from moving.

"Ha! Okay, okay! I'll do it! Just- ha- no more!"

"Oh, I'm not convinced. . .I think you're just saying that," Rainbow said, her voice slightly muffled by the feather in her mouth. She moved it over his stomach and the spirit howled in laughter. She tickled his under arms.

"No! I'm- ha- serious!"

"Okay. I think he is." Rainbow jumped off him and he relaxed. Scootaloo backed off. "So, when will they be coming over?"

"Well, Sweetie Belle wasn't really specific when she told me, so I'll go ask," Scootaloo said, saluting and running off. She headed for Sweet Apple Acres, flying over the buildings. She saw the two other fillies talking to Applejack and swooped down, landing next to them. "Hey girls!"

"Hi Scootaloo! So did Rainbow agree?! Will she let us have a sleepover?" Sweetie Belle asked. Apple Bloom looked over excitedly at her; Applejack had obviously said yes.

"She did. And she wanted me to ask you when you guys were coming, and stuff like that."

"Well, Rarity said I could come over as soon as I told her, and she said she was going to be busy the whole weekend! So I was hoping we could stay all weekend!"

"Really!? That is awesome! Rainbow's busy too, and Discord will be looking after us instead."

"Discord is lookin' after us?! Ah think this will be the best weekend yet!" Apple Bloom exclaimed. The three fillies high-hoofed, jumping into the air.

"So you have everything right? Sleeping bag, toothbrush, toothpaste, mane brush, pillow- all that good stuff?" Rarity asked, inspecting her little sister's saddlebag. Sweetie Belle snorted and pulled away from her sister.

"I'm sure! You've double checked like five times!" she exclaimed, swatting Rarity's hoof away before she could fix her mane.

"I know I know, I just want to make sure that you don't forget anything! If you do then it'll take forever to get down here to me!"

"Um, Rarity, Scootaloo's house is right across Ponyville." The filly pointed at the door. "I don't think it'll take forever to come and grab something."

"It is still considered rude to just leave to go get something when you're already there! And it's not like you can fly, so then one of them has to go with you to get it!" Rarity picked up a cloth with her magic and wiped something off Sweetie Belle's face, making her squeal in displeasure.

"Uh, can we go now?" She turned to her friends, who were waiting at the door to the boutique.

"Yeah, come on!" Apple Bloom yelled, opening the door. The three fillies left, leaving Rarity to get to work.

"Okay, so just stand over there, and I'll do the spell," Twilight told them, her horn glowing. The fillies lined up in front of the unicorn, waiting for her to perform the spell on them. Scootaloo watched as she tapped Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom on the heads. Twilight stepped back, her horn dimming.

"Thanks Twilight!" Sweetie Belle said.

"Yeah, thanks Twilight," Apple Bloom agreed. The older unicorn smiled.

"No problems girls. I've done a different spell that lasts longer, so you shouldn't have to come back and get it redone. Have fun at your slumber party!" Twilight exclaimed, waving at them as they left the library. The three fillies hightailed it to the cloud home, where Scootaloo put them on a cloud and pushed them up to it.

"This is going to be so fun!" Sweetie Belle cheered, setting her bags down next to Apple Bloom's in Scootaloo's room.

"Ah know right!" Apple Bloom said.

"So what should we do?"

"Maybe we should go bother somepony," Scootaloo said deviously.

"Does he even know we're here yet?" Apple Bloom asked.

"I don't think so. I think he's spending a little relaxing time with Rainbow before she leaves for the weekend and he's stuck with us."

"Yeah, probably!" Sweetie laughed. Scootaloo put a hoof up to her lips and opened the door. The fillies poked their heads out, looking for them.

"Come on; follow me," Scootaloo whispered. She crept out like a ninja. The others followed her across the living room, hiding behind the couch and chairs. Finally they spotted them hoof wrestling in the kitchen.

"That's relaxin' to them?" Apple Bloom asked incredulously, watching Discord being easily beaten in the match.

"Um, I have no clue," the orange pegasus responded, her eyes wide as Rainbow slammed his paw down on the table yet again.

"Okay, okay, you were right! Tripping you is not a good idea!" Discord exclaimed, shaking his now red paw to rid it of the sting.

"Yeah, I told you. That's what you get for doing that," Rainbow Dash told him, smirking. He rolled his eyes and summoned a bag of ice to put on his paw. She snorted and muttered 'baby' under her breath. Scootaloo smirked, getting an idea. She nodded back at her friends and snuck into the kitchen.

"SERVED!" Scootaloo shouted at the top of her lungs, making the spirit jump into the air and smash his head through the ceiling. The two other fillies came into the kitchen, laughing.

"You're so lucky this house is made of clouds!" Discord growled, pulling himself out of the ceiling.

"That was great!" Dash laughed, hoof bumping her daughter. "I didn't even know you fillies were here yet. When did you get here?"

"Oh, only a few minutes ago. Apparently after he tripped you," Scootaloo told her.

"Oh, yeah. I told him he couldn't beat me at hoof wrestling, and then this." She gestured to his red paw.

"Wait- how did that have to do with tripping you?" Sweetie Belle asked, confused. Rainbow shook her head.

"It's better not to explain it to you." The blue pegasus patted the unicorn on the head and checked her drawn on watch. "Well, I should get going now. I don't want to be late. Bye girls!" She hugged Scootaloo and then Discord, and flew out the door, a bright blue suitcase in her hoof. The spirit sat there, watching his final moment of sanity for the weekend disappear.

"So, what are you girls going to do?" he asked cautiously. The three fillies smirked and drew bottles of glue and sparkles out from behind their backs. He sighed. "Oh no."

Discord jumped up, trying to escape. But the fillies were quicker than he was. Scootaloo clung to his horns, while Sweetie Belle hopped up and held his arms back, and Apple Bloom pulled his legs, making him fall onto his back. The farm filly got rope out from absolutely nowhere and tied his limbs up with it.

"Hey! Get this-" Scootaloo put duck tape over his mouth. "Gmmf tmf rmmpf mmf mef!" Clever little demons. He struggled against his ropes, but of course he had never escaped from Applejack when she had done that to him when he had insulted her apples, so obviously she had taught her little sister the exact way that was impossible for Discord to get out of. The only way. The only way. And that way had probably been taught right before she had come over.

With his arms tied to his feet, palms up, and tail tied around them, he had no way of escaping. He yelled at the fillies, but the tape on his mouth stopped them from making any sense of it.

"I think it's time for the glue, don't you think girls?" Scootaloo asked mischievously, holding up her bottle in her hoof.

"I do agree, Scootaloo. And great idea of asking Applejack of how to tie up Discord, Apple Bloom. Nice touch," Sweetie Belle complimented.

"Well thanks Sweetie Belle! Applejack was glad to show me," Apple Bloom told her.

"Come on, glue time!" Scootaloo shouted, hovering above Discord, who was desperately trying to wriggle out of his holds. The orange pegasus squeezed the glue bottle all over the draconequus's head. He tried to shake it off, but a closer inspection of the bottle told him it was super glue. Great. The three fillies poured the sticky substance all over the helpless Discord.

"Yay! Glitter!" Sweetie Belle squealed, throwing a huge cloud at him, making it stick to the glue. The pink and purple specks clung to every part of him, making him seem like a huge ball of it. To make it worse, he accidentally snorted some in, making him sneeze every few seconds.

"Ya know what? This doesn't seem that bad. He's just glittery. Ah think we should do somethin' else, somethin' more evil," Apple Bloom mused, rubbing her chin thoughtfully. Discord glared at her, wishing he could use his magic. But they would obviously tell Rainbow on him, like the freakin' children they were, and then the pegasus would surely tickle him to death, especially if he hurt the fillies. He would have to endure.

"Yeah, I think you're right. What should we do then?" Scootaloo asked her. The southern filly signaled for them to gather around her. With his ears plugged full of glue and glitter, he couldn't hear what they were saying. They high-hoofed, then Scootaloo ran off to get something.

She returned a few moments later with a dress and other girly stuff. His eyes widened and he tried frantically to escape.

"Okay, let's get to work ladies!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed, taking a tiara from her friend. Scootaloo took the dress and with Apple Bloom's help fit it over his head.

"Wait, how are we goin' to get his arms through?" Apple Bloom asked, perplexed.

"Well, we could always untie him real quick," Scootaloo said.

"How? We glued him."

"Oh, right. . Ooh, I know, we could rip the sleeves and then I'll sew them back together! I think I've learned enough from Rarity to do that," Sweetie told them. The two others looked at each other and shrugged. So they cut the sleeves down, fit them around his arms, then the unicorn took a needle and thread, and began sewing the sleeves back together. After poking him about twenty times, she was finally done- with one arm.

This was gonna be a long day.

A half hour later, Discord was officially humiliated. Dressed in a frilly pink dress, with a tiara, fake high heels, and poorly done makeup, he was ready to give up.

"What now?" Apple Bloom asked, admiring their handy- or should I say hoofy work, with pride.

"I don't know. Maybe we could trim those eyebrows-they look a little messy," Scootaloo answered, smirking. He shook his head, wriggling.

"Oh, and a mane cut!" Sweetie Belle added.

"He also has fur on his tail!"

"Then it's decided! Hair cuts!" They high-hoofed yet again, and began washing the glue out of his mane.

Scootaloo took a pair of scissors and snipped some of his black mane off. She furrowed her brow and continued cutting the little hair off his head. Sweetie Belle started messing with his eyebrows and Apple Bloom cut his tail fur.

"Hey Scootaloo! Do you think Rainbow has any mane dye in her bathroom?" Apple Bloom asked. Scootaloo nodded. The yellow filly grinned widely and sped off to the bathroom. She returned with several colors of it. Seven, actually. One for each color of the rainbow. Apple Bloom took some of the blue dye and rubbed it into the fur on Discord's tail. Sweetie Belle took the green and then Scootaloo took some of each. After a few minutes, they were done (thankfully).

"Man, we did a great job!" Scootaloo exclaimed. Discord's mane was rainbow, and was now long at the top and increasingly shorter to the bottom. His eyebrows were green and were not nearly as bushy. The fur on his tail was blue, and seemed to almost not exist anymore. The spirit glared at them, trying to break free from his imprisonment.

"You can say that again!" Sweetie Belle agreed.

"Okay- man, we did a great job!"

"Oh you!" Apple Bloom laughed, nudging the pegasus in the ribs. She giggled and pushed her off.

"Uh, I'm tired. What time is it?" Sweetie asked, yawning.

"Um, I don't know. But I know you should sing a song before we go to bed," Scootaloo told her.

"What song?"

The pegasus whispered something in her ear. The white unicorn giggled a little and nodded vigorously. She cleared her throat and then opened her mouth:

"You've been trolled, you've been trolled! You have probably been told, don't reply to this guy he is just getting a rise out of you! Yes it's true, you respond and that's his cue to start trouble on the double while he strokes his manly stubble! You've been trolled, you've been trolled! You should probably just fold! When the only winning move is not to play! And yet you keep on trying, mindlessly replying! You've been trolled, you've been trolled! Have a nice day!" With the last word, Sweetie Belle fell onto Apple Bloom's back, asleep. The yellow filly laughed.

Discord glowered at them. He'd been trolled! It was true! And that made him mad. He was the troll here, not them. As they left the kitchen, without another word, they turned off the light, leaving him in the dark.

When Scootaloo woke up, the first thing she remembered from last night was tying up Discord, and a whole lot of other things. And she realized that was probably a mistake. She rolled over onto her side and looked at her sleeping friends. She reached out a hoof and nudged Sweetie Belle.

"Sweetie Belle! Wake up!" Scootaloo whispered, loud enough so that she would hear her. The unicorn mumbled something and rolled onto her back, yawning.

"What? I was having the best dream. . . about us tying up Discord and stuff. . . it was great. ." she trailed off, losing herself in what she thought had been a dream.

"That wasn't a dream, we actually did that."

That made Sweetie shoot up into a sitting position. "What?! We actually did that?!" She stared, mouth open, at the pegasus for a few more moments.

After her friend's shouting, Apple Bloom groggily rolled over to face them. "What are ya shoutin' for?" She glared sleepily at them.

"Well, um. . ."

"Whatever! Now that Ah'm up Ah might as well stay up… so whatta we gonna do today?" The earth pony climbed out from her sleeping bag and shook herself.

Scootaloo shrugged. "We could mess with Discord some more, but what would we do that we haven't already done?"

"We could always let him go. .?" Sweetie Belle squeaked uncertainly, brushing her mane. The pegasus shook her head.

"If we do, he'll kill us! The only reason we could get away with that was because he can't use his magic, on the account he is. . .um. . .grounded. . . So, yeah!" She smiled awkwardly.

"If Ah may ask, when is he 'ungrounded?'" Apple Bloom asked.

"Well, it was a week . . .a week ago. That means. . ."

"Wait, what?! It's been two weeks today?!" Sweetie gasped, dropping her brush and pulling Scootaloo up to her face. The orange filly coughed quietly, then pushed Sweetie away from her.

"Well. . . yes. I got a week, and I've been done for a week, so that means Discord is free."

"This is a disaster!" Apple Bloom exclaimed, throwing her hooves in the air, waving them around. She then fell over and put her face in the clouds, groaning loudly and overdramatically. Her friends rolled their eyes; they knew that Apple Bloom was usually the one that always overreacted to everything. It was like this when they used the love potion on Big Mac and Cheerilee. Always assuming the worst.

"Oh come on Apple Bloom! It's not that bad! If Discord hurts us then Rainbow will put him in his place!" Scootaloo nudged the earth pony in the ribs, winking.

"Well, Ah guess you're right. . .sorry. Ah just really don't feel like gettin' dumped in chocolate or somethin' crazy like that."

"Yeah, me neither. But you know, if Discord does do something to us, it will probably make no sense," Sweetie Belle said. The fillies laughed.

"Oh, but what fun is there in making sense?"

They froze mid-laugh. This could not be good.

"You should see the look on your faces! Priceless!" Discord cackled from nowhere.

"Uh, great. Go away Discord!" Scootaloo shouted.

"Oh, I don't think so. Maybe I'll just do this~"

Scootaloo's wings and Sweetie Belle's horn disappeared. The two shrieked, running around in circles.

"Ha! Your faces look just like Fluttershy's, Rainbow Dash's, and Rarity's and Twilight's when they lost theirs. Hilarious! You know what, I think you guys bested their faces actually!"

"Give me back my wings!" the pegasus demanded, stomping her hoof angrily. Sweetie Belle snorted and scraped her hoof along the cloud threateningly.

"Oh no! I'm terrified! You're just standing there- menacingly!" the spirit mocked.

"Come out already!"

"Why? So little Miss Dramatic over here can hogtie me again? No thanks."

Apple Bloom blushed and looked down.

"Yeah, that's what I thought. No, I think I'll do the same thing I did with your sisters." Discord paused. "Well, and your mom, in your case, chicken."

"And what is that?" Apple Bloom demanded.

"I want to play a game! First rule- no wings, and no magic! Second rule- everypony has to play, or the game is over, and I win!"

"What kind of game?" Scootaloo asked. She narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"A game of survival, I think would be fitting." The draconequus stopped speaking for a moment. "Yes, this is how it will work: I have hidden your wings and horn somewhere at the end of the journey- you just need to find out where the end of the journey is!"

"How are we supposed to do that?"

"Well, I will teleport you three fillies to the start. And then, you must make it through the whole adventure to get your things. But if none of you make it, I don't give back your wings and horn! At least one of you has to make it, either leaving the others behind or trying to make sure everypony gets to the end, I don't care. Your choice."

"Then take us to the start!"

"Okay, okay! Hold your horses! I was just about to."

In a flash, the three fillies were standing at the entrance to a huge temple looking thing. It stood at least a hundred feet high, and was made up entirely of stone and sand, like a pyramid.

"Um, I guess we just go in then," Sweetie Belle said nervously, taking a small step forward. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom went after her and into the darkness of the temple.

Upon entering, the door slammed shut behind them, making the three jump in fright. The pegasus sighed and puffed out her chest. She was going to be brave like Rainbow Dash.

"Okay girls, let's go!" She reared onto her back legs and kicked out her forelegs, trying to seem brave. The others gulped and braced themselves for the long journey ahead of them.

Scootaloo set the pace, heading down narrow tunnel. Torches dimly lit the halls, allowing them to see, even if just slightly. The sound of their hooves on the stone almost calmed the fillies, until giant tremors started shaking the temple. Grains of sand fell from the ceiling, coating the three friends.

"What's causin' that?" Apple Bloom asked, gritting her teeth as another long rumble shook the walls.

"I don't know, but it must be a trick set up by Discord. We just have to ignore it and keep going," Scootaloo told her, trudging forward without missing a beat.

"I don't know Scootaloo. This seems awfully dangerous. Maybe we should just go back and wait for Rainbow Dash to get back?" Sweetie Belle suggested, cowering in fright.

"No! We can't let Discord think we're a bunch of babies! We can do this! He wouldn't dare hurt us!"

"Okay then. . ."

Scootaloo snorted and continued the walk down the long tunnel. She saw a box at the very end.

"Is that our stuff? That was easy! Come on girls! We just have to get to that box!"

The fillies took off, ignoring the tremors that racked the pyramid and trying to reach the box at the end of the tunnel. After a few moments of running, they had reached the end of the hall. Sweetie Belle, panting, excitedly grabbed the box. As soon as she did, a trapdoor opened above them. The unicorn looked up, confused. A rumbling sound was heard, along with a gurgling sound. Suddenly, a torrent of glue came pouring down onto her. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom jumped out of the way, leaving their friend becoming trapped in the glue. She desperately shrieked, which more or less came out as a gurgling sound as the sticky substance covered her. She tried to escape, but another trapdoor opened underneath her, and she and the pile of glue went into it. Scootaloo jumped forward, only to smash into rock as the trapdoor closed with a thud.

"Sweetie Belle! Sweetie Belle! Can you hear me?!" the pegasus shouted, banging on the stone. Apple Bloom stood off to the side, baffled as she was. Scootaloo looked back at her still friend. "What are you doing? Help me open this trapdoor!" She turned back.

"Don't you see Scootaloo? This was part of Discord's plan! He wanted to trick us into thinkin' that was your stuff, but then he just captured Sweetie Belle! We have to keep goin'! He wouldn't hurt her. We'll find her at the end."

"But-but-"

Apple Bloom put a hoof on the filly's shoulder. "We have to keep goin'." Scootaloo looked at her friend. She slowly nodded.

"Okay. But we can't leave without Sweetie Belle."

"And we won't. We'll find her at the end."

"Come on then!" Scootaloo pointed a hoof at a new door that had opened after Sweetie had been trapped. Apple Bloom nodded and the pair raced down it. The door slammed shut, sealing their fates.

Sweetie Belle was sitting. Sitting in a pile of glue. She could still breath, that was the good thing. When she had fell down that hole, the glue had been scraped away a little bit. But now she was confused as to where in Equestria she was.

"Hello?" she called, unsure of who to be calling out to. Looking quite uncertain and wary, she called out again. "Hello?"

Mad laughing met her ears.

Of course. Why were they here in the first place? Discord, that's why.

"Let me go back to my friends!" she demanded, trying to get out of the sticky trap.

"Oh, I don't think so. You're my victim down here now, don't you know that?" Discord asked teasingly, slipping out of the shadows. He flew above her, smirking when she glared at him and struggled to escape.

"What do you want? Why are being so mean?"

"Mean? I'm mean? I play a little game with you fillies and then I get called mean? I think you're the ones who are mean after what you did to me last night with your little 'jokes.'" He made parentheses in the air with his fingers to enforce his words. Sweetie Belle growled, trying to stay calm.

"We were just having fun!"

"Yeah, you three are girls. I am a guy. I do not want to be covered in sparkles, dressed up, have makeup on, and get a mane cut. That was outrageous."

"Sometimes I wonder what gender you are. ."

"What?! Oh really now, you're making jokes and I'm the one in control here, not you. I could easily do something to you that you are scarred for life from. ."

"Right. . ." Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes.

"Well, I could. But I'm not going to, because I'm supposed to be "good" now and if Celestia knew what I was up to I wouldn't be able to-"

"I don't want to hear about that!" She squeezed her eyes shut, folding her ears against her head and looked away.

"Whatever, fine. I suppose you wouldn't want to hear about what Celestia would do to me if she caught me. I mean, that would not end well for me, seriously, it would be a disaster! She'd-"

"Please! Stop talking about that!"

"Okay, okay, oops. But I was just saying I wouldn't be able to walk right for weeks!"

"AH! Stop! I don't care! And frankly I didn't need to hear that! I don't need to know that!"

"Okay, okay, okay, okay! Gosh, just whatever. Now, as I was saying earlier, I would be able to hurt you, you know, because of Celestia doing-"

"I'M NOT LISTENING! BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!"

"Sorry! Getting a little off topic here, aren't we?"

"Yes! Now stop! Just let me go!"

"No. Unless your little friends come and save you themselves, you aren't leaving this room until they reach the end."

"Scootaloo, how long do you think we've been walkin'? It feels like forever," Apple Bloom said, dragging her hooves along the sandy ground.

"I don't know. We've gone up stairs, around giant pits, even escaped that giant rolling ball of doom, and we still haven't reached the end!" Scootaloo exclaimed, sweat dripping off her forehead. "Not to mention that it's like eighty degrees in here!"

"Ah totally agree. And we don't even know if we're any closer to findin' your wings."

"Yeah. . . but we should just keep going. Maybe we should try and find Discord. Then we can get the answers out of him."

"Ah really doubt we'd find him, but Ah guess we could do that too."

"Hey! Wait! I think I see a light down there! Come on, that's got to be the way out!" Scootaloo squeed in excitement and then broke into a run. Apple Bloom followed right after her, glad to finally be done.

"We should probably be careful though. It might be another-"

Scootaloo stopped, and pricked her ear. "Apple Bloom? It might be another what?" She turned around to face her friend, only to find she was gone. Scootaloo gasped, running back. She searched the floor frantically, thinking she might find a trapdoor or something. "No! Discord, you're not playing fair!" The orange filly stomped her hoof. She whimpered, feeling very vulnerable and alone. Remembering what her friend had told her, she continued onward.

She would see them at the end.

The last thing Apple Bloom had done was warn Scootaloo about the light being a trap. Well, almost warned her, as a huge metal hand had come out of the ceiling and grabbed her, lifting her away before she could finish her sentence. After that, she was dropped down some sort of chute, twisting and turning, and before she knew it she was in a giant bowl of water, with no way to get out.

"Now Ah know what a fish feels like. . ." Apple Bloom mumbled, treading water to make sure she didn't sink.

"Yeah, that was supposed to be the feeling of this whole idea," Discord said, appearing out of nowhere, looking at his claws, boringly. He glanced up at her.

"Get me out," she commanded.

"Um, no. What's up with everypony always wanting out of my traps? It's not very nice."

"Because you're a psycho. Nopony likes to play with you, and the traps are the reason why."

"Rainbow Dash seems to like to 'play' with me."

"Um. . . Ah'm not sure how to respond to that. . ." She glanced around awkwardly.

"Whatever, never mind. Don't worry your dramatic little head about it."

"Why are you doin' this?"

"Oh, silly filly, all you need to know is that you're not getting out of that fishbowl until Scootaloo gets to the end: which she probably won't, so I guess you'll have to wait until she falls into one of my traps."

"But that's not nice."

"I don't care if it's not nice!"

"But ya seemed to care when ponies want out of your traps. . ."

"Oh, why don't you just- uuhhh! Just be quiet! I have another filly to trap." He snapped his fingers, and in a flash of golden light, he was gone.

"Ya better hurry Scootaloo, before Ah drown."

Scootaloo was running now. She didn't want to stop and see if any other tunnels were the way out. The only thing she wanted was to be free of this weird place.

"Okay, come on Scootaloo! You can do it! Just keep going!. . ." She turned a corner, only to run into a wall. She fell onto her back, dazed, tongue out. Mini Discords spun around her head in a halo, taunting her. She shook them away and groggily sat up, rubbing her head.

"That's stupid! A wall in the middle of nowhere? Discord, you moron. . ." Scootaloo scowled at the wall and turned away from it. Dumb wall, thinking it could block her way and sit there oh so wallish. Well, she would teach it that it couldn't mess with her!

She stood on her hind legs, and struck out at the sandy stone. She did that a few times, feeling unsatisfied. She gave it one good kungfu kick and felt her hoof move a brick. She fell, one leg caught in the wall.

"Great. What else could possibly go wrong?" Scootaloo pulled her leg out, and looked through the hole. Another room was just waiting past this wall. The pegasus narrowed her eyes, and licked her lips. She got into a fighting stance, then leapt at the wall with all her force. It quickly gave way and the filly ended up under a pile of stony rubble. She stood up and shook herself, wiping dust off her shoulders.

"Yes! I did it!" she cheered, pumping her hooves in the air excitedly. She looked around the room. There was nothing in here.

"What?" The filly stared around incredulously. This is so no fair! No way did she run into a wall for nothing! Scootaloo walked around, looking for some sort of opening.

Suddenly, a trapdoor gave way beneath her hooves. She quickly held onto the sides and hauled herself back up. She breathed a sigh of relief, glad she didn't fall. That was certainly one of Discord's traps. The pegasus backed away from it, careful not to step on any sort of rocks, in case they might be a trigger for some sort of trap. So busy studying the floor, she didn't notice she had been approaching a wall until she hit it.

Her backside moved something, and suddenly Scootaloo found herself being rained down upon by glitter. Scootaloo looked up, mouth open in surprise. Oh, the irony.

"No! I'm not going to fail now!" Scootaloo swam through the sea of sparkles, trying to reach the door. But the glitter was rising fast, and she soon found herself near the ceiling, where a giant vacuum was waiting. She growled, baring her teeth.

That's when Scootaloo saw her escape. A loose brick on the ceiling. She kicked her legs, trying to reach the safety. She moved it and climbed into the hatch.

A window.

The orange pegasus sped towards it and looked out. The outside world! She had done it!

"Woo! I did it! In your face Discord!" Scootaloo shouted, jumping out of the window. She slid down the pyramid and fell onto her stomach into the grass. The filly looked up and saw a box floating above her.

Her wings!

She jumped up and hit the box. It burst open and a bright orange pair of wings fell out onto her, attaching themselves once again to her back. She buzzed them, making sure they worked properly. Scootaloo hovered in the air, deciding to look for her friends. A rumbling noise made her look back at the pyramid.

The whole temple was falling apart, crumbling into nothing as it hit the ground. All that was left was Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom, both rid of their prisons.

"Scootaloo! You did it!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed, running up to the pegasus.

"Hit that box," she told her friend, gesturing to it. The unicorn bounced up, and her white horn fell back to its rightful place on her head, in between her curls of pink and purple hair.

"Wow! Ah'm so glad ya made it! Discord said he was gonna get you!" Apple Bloom told her, smile on her face.

"Yeah. He tried to. But of course, I won! I am awesome!" Scootaloo struck a pose in the air.

"Yeah you are!" Sweetie cheered, doing a little dance.

"But wait- where's Discord?"

A bright flash.

"Congratulations, my little ponies, you've gotten your precious wings and horn back!" Discord yelled, doing a back flip to land right next to them.

"You are so dead."

"Don't make me laugh!"

"Well, when Rainbow Dash gets home, then we'll see who's laughing!" Scootaloo shot off, with her friends running below her.

"Right." Discord crossed his arms. Well, that fun had been over too quickly.

Author's Note

So, how’d ya like that chapter? Pretty funny right? Lots of tormenting in this one: tickling, tying up, glitter, glue, makeup, pyramid…. Anyways, yeah. Lol. Discord got pwned. Like, literally. And the trolling, I have one thing to say: that was a total troll! They trolled the troller! Discord is level troll! That must’ve been humiliating for him! And I know there wasn’t much Rainbow Dash moments in here but I added in that cute scene just for you people, since almost no Dashie and I figured you would want some of that cuteness. But hopefully there will be more of those moments in the next one.

Oh, and I don’t want to give too much away, but….

Discord and Dash might have a real ‘date’ together!

*squee*

But yes, stay tuned.
