The trip to the throne room was more tedious than anything else. Princess Celestia never summoned Discord for anything, and especially not in such a public venue. If he was being perfectly honest with himself, though, he knew he was dragging his feet.

He was probably in trouble. Although, for the life of him, he couldn't figure out what he was in trouble for. He'd actually kept his nose clean lately. Sure, there was that little joke with Twilight Sparkle and the slumber party, but would Celestia really summon him over something so childish? And if he wasn't in trouble, what in the world could she possibly want?

Either way, Discord wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of his absence. No, he already knew how he was going to make his entrance. Standing outside the door, he straightened the bowtie on his suit and cleared his throat. He snapped his fingers.

"Boo."

Celestia practically jumped out of her seat as Discord appeared behind her. She was always so easy to scare, and as she whipped her head around, it was all he could do to resist laughing at her angry blush. "There you are," she said.

"In the flesh."

"Perhaps you should step around to where we can see you?" Luna requested, sitting in the smaller throne beside her sister.

If Luna was here also, that certainly meant official business. "As you wish," Discord replied. A small part of him felt humiliated standing before the Equestrian throne like a subject, especially considering how powerful he once was. But in the grand scheme of things, it wasn't that big of a deal. Listening to whatever Celestia had to say was very different from bowing at her feet.

Although listening was the hardest part. Celestia was a beauty, and Discord wasn't about to feel bad about appreciating it. She favored a white muslin dress in a very loose style, the fabric only covering half of her great breasts. Discord's eyes took her in, her wide hips, plump from a life of cake and royal indulgence, and her tempting cleavage, greater than almost any mare's. Luna dressed similarly, but with her fit build, she couldn't compare to her sister. In Discord's imagination, he could practically feel what it would be like to shove his cock between those two great mounts, to hear her blush demurely, feigning innocence as he thrust into her breasts and tweaked her nipples.

"Discord, we've called you here because you've been very good lately," Celestia said.

"Oh have I?" he returned. He was listening, but the focus of his attention hadn't shifted.

Luna spoke now. "When my sister proposed to rehabilitate you, I must admit I was quite opposed. Yet I am happy to be proven wrong. You have behaved as a model citizen of Equestria, for the most part, and I think Twilight Sparkle and her friends are very much enjoying your company."

"Your presence at the Grand Galloping Gala was also very much appreciated. I was a little worried something might go wrong, but it was surely the best Gala I've had in ages," Celestia said.

"Always happy to provide a little fun where it's needed," Discord replied.

Celestia glared a little. "My eyes are up here, Discord."

"I'm aware."

"Discord!"

He met her glare with an eye roll. "So I've been a good little boy. Is there a point to this, your majesties?" he said with an edge of sarcasm.

"Of course there is," Celestia said. "We've asked you to come so that we may reward you for your good behavior."

"Reward me?" Now Discord was truly shocked. "You're serious?"

"We do not play pranks as you do, Discord," Luna said. "'Twould be cruel to tease you so. We have thought of something very special that we are sure you'll like."

Celestia continued now. "My sister and I have been skimming through Starswirl's spells lately, and we've discovered another time spell that we could cast for you. It's a spell that alters timelines, allowing the subject to see the outcomes of their actions before they truly occur."

"I'm not quite sure I follow," Discord said. "I have no need of precognition. You know I like to go with the flow, as they say."

"I wasn't thinking you would use it to gather information about the future," Celestia said. "Think of it like a delayed time travel spell. We cast in on you, and after a fixed amount of time, you 'reset' so to speak, traveling back in time to the exact moment it was cast, as if all the time spent never happened."

The implications were immediately clear to Discord. "You're... quite serious?" he said in a low voice.

"We've thought it through, and yes, we are," Luna said. "You would be free to do whatever you wished for a period of time, and in the end, none of it would matter, because none of it would have ever really happened."

Celestia angled her head toward Discord, her voice warm. "I can already see you hatching plans, but I want you to know that you shouldn't feel any guilt for what you do. I anticipate you to use this time to warp the world dramatically and perform all sorts of exotic sexual fantasies. And I encourage them."

"You do?" Discord was shocked.

"Of course," Celestia said. "I'm aware of how you struggle in Equestria. You don't cause chaos the way you used to, and I imagine you miss it very much. Plus, if I'm being frank, you are definitely a male, and if the focus of your gaze isn't enough indication, we all know that the first thing a male would do given this chance is to realize his deepest sexual fantasies. As a draconequus, you probably find it difficult to find a partner for such things, so I thought this would be a good opportunity for you to scratch that itch you males seem to require."

Discord was silent for a moment. "I... I don't know what to say. Except, thank you, I suppose."

"You're very welcome," Celestia replied.

"How much time will I have exactly?" he asked.

"The spell is very complicated, and time is a difficult thing to work with," Luna answered. "Even together, the most we can give you is a full day - twenty-four hours."

Discord nodded. "That'll be plenty I'm sure. And... no pony will remember anything?"

"Not even us," Celestia answered.

Discord nodded again. He grinned.

"Are you ready?" Celestia asked.

"Oh, very much," he said.

"Very well." As their horns glowed, Discord rubbed his hands together in anticipation. He already knew what he would do first.
