Phantasma Eeria had run home with the book she procured from the library in the Crystal Empire. Upon reading it she managed to figure out what was needed to capture the beast running rampage throughout Equestria, she then made an attempt to cast the spell described in the book. The spell produced a mesh which seemed to be indestructable. The unicorn then taught the unicorns and alicorns in her company how to cast the spell. After they had each individually mastered the spell, they began an attempt to cast it together. Spike then came into the room and after noticing the rain asked whether it was raining chocolate milk.

Phantasma told Spike that it was raining chocolate milk, at which Spike hurried to find a glass. Phanstasma shook her head and smiled and set off in the opposite direction to the baby dragon. Spike returned saying that he couldn't find a glass before being shocked when one was in his hand. The dragon looked around and saw everypony present shaking their heads saying that they hadn't put the glass in his hand. Phantasma emerged from behind Spike and told him that she had put the glass there. Spike laughed ad stuck the glass out of the door and filled it with the chocolate milk falling out of the clouds. When the glass had filled Spike put the glass to his lips and drank. Everypony in the room was watching ass the glass slowly disappeared leaving only the chocolate milk.
Phantasma yelled "Spike! Throw the milk out of the door for Celestia's sake!"

Spike thought this was odd but followed Phantasma's orders. Spike re-opened the door and tossed the milk out, upon impact with the ground the chocolate milk exploded catapulting snow everywhere. Twilight looked confused and asked Phantasma how she knew that that would happen, Phantasma told Twilight that before she had come to Equestria she had heard rumours about Discord and that he brought a whole new meaning to the words 'drinking glass'. Twilight agreed to this before asking what the next step in the plan was. Phantasma told Twilight that she needed to know where 'Discord' was Twilight said "I've been studying 'Discord's' activities and they all seem to be near markets and important elements of the city. This leads me to believe that his next attack will be near the Crystal Palace." Cadence looked worriedly at Phantasma who was wearing a reassuring smile and told the princess of love that they wouldn't let any damage come to her home. The unicorn thought to herself, "I don't want her home to be destroyed like mine was, then again it was me who destroyed it...damn magical outbursts."

Phantasma snapped out of her soliloquy and started to pace around the room. The unicorn was trying to come up with a way of finding the beast and leading it to the Crystal Palace, where the trap would be put into action. No matter how many times she passed the mane six, Spike, and the royal couple, Phantasma just couldn't think of anything. She began to doubt herself and wondered whether she was losing her touch, but quickly erased any doubts as she knew how much she had accomplished in a few days. Phantasma went over what she had done thus far, with each action that she had thought of Phantasma felt her self-confidence rising as they weren’t feats of a nopony they were feats that very few could achieve. She then remembered that she had a dragon and eight skilled ponies with her, and a pegasus that Phantasma hoped would become her special somepony.

Phantasma asked the guests whether they had any thoughts as to how they were going to find Discord as she had no clue whatsoever. Phantasma was bombarded with ideas some good some bad and a few brilliant ones. Eventually she settled on one, or a combination of a few. She took Applejack's idea of splitting up, Pinkie Pie's idea of shooting a signal into the air if the find Discord and Twilight's idea of using a different signal for everypony. Phantasma then suggested the use of fireworks with everypony's cutie mark as the signal. Her guests nodded in approval, and Phantasma went off to search her library for a book about making fireworks. She came back with a brown leather covered book with a firework embossed into the front.

Phantasma opened the book and flipped though the pages until she found a page on shaped fireworks and decided to make them. She gathered the materials she needed, which mainly consisted of gunpowder and several different metals and dyes. She went into another backroom and started combining the materials she had gathered until she had a considerable amount of fireworks each with one of nine shapes. She brought the fireworks into the main room and distributed them between her and her friends. She then decided that they should gather up some equiptment and call it a night before they go out. Phantasma showed everypony where they would be staying with Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity in their own rooms, Twilight and Spike sharing a room and Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor sharing a room. Phantasma then retreated back into her own room and smiled as she saw Derpy Hooves curled up under the covers with an empty muffin crate next to her.

Phantasma lifted up the quilt and slid under, cuddling up to Derpy and smiled and closed her eyes and started to fall asleep. When she woke up, Phantasma was face to face with Derpy. Derpy hooves slowly opened her eyes, smiled and kissed Phantasma and then looked at her smiling cutely. Phantasma smiled and kissed Derpy back before asking her if she wanted any breakfast.
"Can I have a muffin?" asked Derpy smiling. Phantasma nodded and went to get Derpy a muffin. Navigating through the caves in her house she found the room where she stored the muffins for Derpy. She wished that she hadn't built her house so complex.
She went to grab a glass of chocolate and thought "I'm about to be drinking glass, literally."
