"Is the conference room complete?" Luna asked her sister.

"Yes, the team removed the throne and got the round table in last night" Celestia answered.

"Good, are our dresses prepared?"

"Yes, Rarity finished them several hours ago." Celestia answered.

The sisters took there place at the table facing the door. There dresses emulating them. Celestia's was white with a gold trim, and Luna's was a dark blue with a silver trim.

Discord, Fluttershy and several ponies with trumpets flashed into the room. "Now entering Lord Discord and lady Fluttershy" one of the ponies called out.

Discord was wearing a tux and Fluttershy was wearing her gala dress. "Thank you my good stallion." He said patting him on the head.

Celestia gave him a weary look, "Discord!"

"What? You insisted on making us dress up for this event, we've never had to before. I figured I go all out" He complained.

"I'm tired of the Doctor always complaining that we under dress for the occasion." Celestia explained.

"Very well. How long till the other princesses get here?" he asked pulling out a seat for Fluttershy to sit in.

"Thank you" she said taking a seat. Discord sat next to her.

Cadence and Shining Armor entered the room, "See I told you they'd have it in the throne room" Cadence said to her husband.

"You were right" Shining Armor said giving in.

"Great now all we have to do is wait for princess friendship herself." Discord commented as Cadence and Shining Armor took their seats.

"It's not like her to be late." Cadence retorted.

"Indeed" Celestia agreed, "I'd imagine the train is late, or perhaps one of her friends wasn't on time."

"You let her invite her friends!" Discord said in dismay, "it's always just been one!"

"She is the Princess of friendship after all." Luna pointed out, "we couldn't let her come without them."

"I'm sorry I'm late." Twilight said bursting in. Her friends weren't far behind her.

"It's my fault," Apple Jack explained, "I was tending to the orchard with Big Mac and lost track of time."

"Well you're here and that's all that matters." Cadence said cutting Discord off before he could say anything.

"Well then we all seem to be here" Discord said clapping his hands together, "should we get started, who wants to go first."

There was an annoying gasping wheezing sound as a blue box appeared by the doorway. "Oh no you don't!" Shouted the voice as the Doctor stepped out, "why do you Draconequuses keep trying to ignore me at these conferences?" the tan stallion asked as he stepped out. Soon after a grey pegasus mare stepped out.

"Doctor Whooves? I didn't know you were an immortal!" Twilight remarked.

"I should hope not, it's not like I go flaunting it around like you lot do. I see you all dressed this time. Odd I could have sworn when I delivered the invitations it clearly said not to dress all fancy like. But what do I know that was over a thousand years ago." He said as he and his companion were seated.

"But you didn't deliver the invitations that was some crazy old grey stallion." Cadence pointed out.

"Oi it was only ninety-seven at the time, that's still young, especially considering the ponies in this room."

"You changed faces?" Twilight asked.

"I think he's lying!" Rainbow Dash shouted.

"Yes, and I'm not lying, I simply was killed a few times and needed to change bodies to survive."

"You switched bodies?" Cadence asked, "does that count as immortality, if you enter somepony else's body."

"No I regenerated, I made this body right before I died. Now if we're done talking about my physiology could we get to the real meat and potatoes of this conference?"

"I just have one question." Luna said, "how is it that a pony with a time machine is always late to these things?"

"Timey-wimey, now if you don't mind can we get on with it."

"I agree." Discord chimed in, "I'm tired of talking about him."

"So what do we talk about then?" Twilight asked.

"We share our experiences, the names of ones we've outlived, the epic tales we were apart of, and the lessons we learned." Celestia told her, "I realize you, Cadence, and Spike are young compared to the others who were invited so if you wish you may pass on telling your tales this time."

"Why was I given an invitation anyways?" Spike asked looking at the Doctor.

"Oh no! I'm not about to change the course of Equestrian history by telling you! I've already seen that future pan out and I don't like it."

"How could you have seen something that hasn't happened yet?" Twilight asked.

"Yes...Well...You see...time travel."

"But if you've seen it then it's must happen, just like when I time traveled."

"Oh! So now you're the expert on time travel! Well I'll have you know that time is in a constant state of flux and because of that I can change whatever I please, more or less!"

"Can we just get on with it?" Discord asked rolling his eyes.

"I agree, as much fun as it is to tell you you're wrong princess, I do think we should begin. After all I've got places to be." The Doctor said as he got up and went into the T.A.R.D.I.S., "I almost forgot the memory weave" he said as he brought out a holographic projector with a helmet attached to it by cord. "Borrowed this thing from some Shansheeth should make the stories a bit more lively this time."

"What does it do?" Celestia asked.

"Well it's supposed to make matter out of memories but I tweaked it a bit so it would only just project images of memory, of course you'll still have to narrate."

"Impressive, but who shall go first?" Luna asked.

"I will!" Discord cheered, "Oh I know, I'll tell you the story of the only pony who has ever really earned my respect, except Fluttershy. Oh and don't bother with your silly machine I'll take care of images for me."

"It was a long time ago during my first reign of chaos..."
