8:50 A.M.

-Discords room-

Discord teleported back to his room after seeing Luna and Celestia arguing. He was a little creeped out by the fact that Celestia embraced destiny a little too much even for him. 'Meh' was all Discord thought then started doing his own thing. 'I guess I should talk to Luna to see if she's ok?' he wanted to regain the princesses trust if hypothetically, he could betray them (hint hint) and they'll be shocked then thats where he could get them. Discord decided to go talk to Luna after all but he was also bored and had nothing better to do. 'I could talk to Celestia too but then again she's a bit of a hothead whenever im around.'

Discord teleported to Luna's door and knocked. It opened and to Discords surprise, Luna looked calm instead of angry or upset. 'Man those acting classes are paying off for her.'

"What do you want" Luna hissed she did not want to talk to anyone for today. 'Time of the month?' Discord thought.

"Just wanted to see how you were after that little disagreement with Celestia." Discord knew if he pretended to care, which he could give two shits about them, he could score some points with Luna ( ya know what im sayin? just keep reading).

"You heard us?" Luna became sad again and wanted to be left alone to think.

"We know you dont care please leave me alone Discord" Luna then shut the door on his face.

"eh, I tried." then he simply teleported back to his room to do whatever Discord does.

10:00 A.M.

-Celestia's room-

Celestia kept replaying the same word her sister told her over and over. Out of everything and anything, she told her how disapointed she was in her. 'I'll let her cool down for now' Celestia thought.

Celestia decided to read a friendship scroll from her faithful student. Soon one became eight and then to 32. She wanted to do anything to get her mind off the argument. 'oh I hope the elements dont react as badly as Lulu did. Or worse' she thought. Time was going too slow for Celestia. With a grunt, she put all the scrolls back in place and went outside to overlook Canterlot.

Celestia kept staring off at the beautiful scenery, when she found a couple guards walking around. Celestia debated on whether or not to tell her little guards to start evacuations. Celestia needed to make sure of something else first before doing just that.

The princess went back inside and went out of her room to search for the scientists. Moments later, she found the team she assembled in the lab they were in. She saw them all still hard at work when a scientist noticed her staring at them.

"Princess!" He gasped. All the other scientists looked up and saw her standing there. Immediatley they all bowed down. A scientist walked up to her with a paper levitating next to him and handed it to her. Or hoofed it. She read it carefully and not really understanding anything besides it being a graph without words.

"This is activity going on in the location you requested your highness." He said.

"We could not determine at what time it would come precisely. We are currently working on it though."

"hmm I see." Celestia tried to sound calm to not freak anypony out, but inside she was actually worried. She had to tell the guards. Now.

"Dismissed." Was all she said. The scientists just looked at eachother quizically and did not know what to do. The princess headed to the HQ of the royal guards and entered inside. When she opened the door, she saw the general and a couple of the other guards eating and chatting away. Until they saw her standing there. The general was the first to react and right away stood on all fours to salute her, and knocking his and everyponies elses food or drink, much to their dismay.

"ma'am!" they all said in unison.

"At ease soldiers." Celestia said in a calm voice

"General, I need you to come with me." immediatly, he got up and followed her outside. They walked around the castle then she told him to rally about one hundred soldiers to be ready to ship off to Manehatten at a moments notice. She dissmised him and watched the general leave and run to the barracks. 'Geez why did we have to walk that far?' he thought to himself. Under twenty minutes, he had atleast one hundred guards at the ready. He found Celestia and told her and then he left her alone oncemore. Celestia was always amazed on how fast the guards are able to get ready and able to go anywhere and do anything for her.

Celestia wanted to talk to someone but did not know who to talk to. She would talk to her prized pupil, but she knew how Twilight is like then decided against the idea. 'Her future husband will be one lucky stallion' she thought. The princess would talk to Discord but she knew he would grind her gears like always. There was only two ponies she could talk to. Blueblood and her sister. She decided to try to talk to her sister even though she knew she was upset with her. As much as she liked Blueblood, she had zero tolerance for his constant whining.

After some time to think about it, the princess gathered up the courage to go talk to Luna and tell her how sorry she was and how she sent the guards to evacuate Manehattians or Manehattenites or whatever they called themselves. Celestia used a teleportation spell to get to her sisters room.

Luna was reading a book written by starswirl the bearded when she heard a knock on her door. "Better not be Discord again." she mumbled. To her surprise, and frustration, it was her other half.

"Luna, I need you with me to address the guards so they can go to Manehatten. I have found it's getting worse." She said. Luna had a poker face on and didnt react to what she said. 'Wow those acting classes are sure paying off.' Celestia thought. Luna simply sighed. She knew she cant be mad at her sister forever.

"Fine. But we have to talk later ok" Luna told her.

"I promise Luna" This put Luna's mind at rest and they left her room to go to the guards. The two princesses filled the guards in, and sent them off.

===============================================================================

1:10 P.M.

-Manehatten-

"Single file line come on keep moving!" One of the guards yelled at the citizens being evacuated.

"Sir, you might want to look at this." A guard told the leader.

"What is it private." He was going to yell at the private when he saw the stream they were by, flowing the opposite direction it was supposed to be. This made his stomach drop and his training kicked in.

"Double time ponies!" He shouted. He told all the other guards near him to speed up the evacuees pace. When he felt a slight rumble beneath his hooves.

"May Celestia help us all"
