It was roughly 8PM in Canterlot at this time. Right outside the entrance to the palace ballroom, one could see all the lights were on, and the place was a buzz with activity. This was the site of Fancy Pants' party. He had rented out the ballroom for the evening.
A short distance from the doorway, a flash of light appeared from behind a line of bushes. From the light appeared Discord and the Royal Sisters, who were still in the rabbit suits. Discord quickly looked around. After surveying his surroundings, he found nopony there. They must all be inside. He then looked at Celestia and Luna. Both of them were smiling and standing at attention, waiting to be led to the party. Discord could see they hadn't gotten dizzy this time.
He was eager to make his entrance. But he decided this was the perfect time to give the Sisters some final instructions, so they wouldn't do anything too stupid. He was having fun bossing them around and all, but that was all. He didn't want them getting into or causing too much trouble. This evening was supposed to be about teaching them to loosen up.

Discord turned to the Sisters and said "Both of you, attention!"

Both mares turned to face Discord and "Yes, Boss!"

Discord still enjoyed hearing that. But would have to stop for now. "Girls, we are about to enter the party. When we enter, put on your best smiles, and walk alongside me, ok. And while we're her, refer to me simply as "Discord", not "Boss". And be sure to restrict all your mischief to common party pranks. Don't do anything you know will get somepony offended. Do you understand?"

Celestia and Luna replied "Yes, Boss! We understand fully!"

"Good!" Discord replied with a smirk.

With that, Discord snapped his fingers and an envelope appeared in his lion paw. This was the invitation Fancy Pants had sent him. And now that he had his "plus two", he was ready to make his entrance.
Discord stated to walk out of the bushes, with Celestia and Luna following suit. He walked over to the door and gave them a light knock. The doors opened without anypony even having to touch them, Discord at work. The doorway led into the entry hall, where Fancy Pants himself was greeting other guests at the moment. Seeing this, Discord couldn't resist being a showoff.

Taking his cue, Celestia and Luna both stuck a pose pointing at Discord. He snapped his tail and made big neon arrows point at himself appear.

Discord threw his haws up and shouted "THE FUN AS ARIVED!"

Fancy Pants immediately took notice of Discord and his companions. He walked over to his new guests to welcome them.

"AH, Discord! I'm so glad you could make it tonight. I was afraid we would be without you. And, I must say, that was quite the smashing entrance." said Fancy Pants.

Discord replied "Why, thank you. And I must say, I'm glad you asked to provide the entertainment. I have many tricks that are sure will keep your guests happy."

"I'm sure you will be amazing. And who are these two lovely mares with you. Your guests I presume?" said Fancy, looking at the Sisters.

Celestia stepped forward and said "Fancy Pants, it's us! Celestia and Luna. We here with Discord tonight."

Fancy Pants took a look of surprise. He took a closer look at the mares and saw they really were the Royal Sisters.
"Oh, my! Is that really you two? Well, I didn't expect the rare treat of having two princesses at my party tonight. And I certainly didn't recognize you two in those costumes. Such strange attire for high-class get-together." said Fancy Pants.

Luna stepped forward and replied "When Discord told us he was providing the fun and games, we couldn't say no to helping him. He even helped us dress the part."

Discord followed "What can I say? When you roll with me, you have to dress for success."

Fancy Pants smiled and said "Well, the three of you will certainly stand out together. Your an eye-catching trio. In any case, I welcome you all to the party and hope that you enjoy the evening's pleasantries."

With that, Discord and the Sisters took their leave and walked toward the ballroom. They went up the stairs and through the large open doors. In the ballroom, they found a large gathering of Canterlot's high-class elite ponies, all dressed in semi-formal designer clothes. When Discord, Celestia, and Luna walked into the room everyone took notice and looked at the trio. Everypony knew Discord right away. But when the crowd saw Celestia and Luna with him, they all looked very shocked. Everyone was surprised, not only to see the Royal Sisters with discord, but to see them in their rabbit suits as well. Some ponies had to quietly stifle their laughter because the outfits seemed so out of place here. Nevertheless, when Celestia and Luna saw everyone's reactions, their faces lit up with happiness. They were glad that they were making an impression. All of a sudden, this party's atmosphere seemed a whole lot less formal and stuffy with their arrival.

Discord turned to the Sisters and said "Well, I'm off to scout for the prime game zones. This place could already use some loosening up. You two go mingle with the crowd and help them enjoy themselves. I think they'd all be glad to talk to you both."

Celestia replied "Alright, Discord. Good luck..."

"And have fun!" Luna added.

Discord then snapped his tail and he was off in a flash. The Royal Sisters turned their gaze to the crowd and started to walk toward them. Half the guests returned to what they had been doing before. The other half watched as Celestia and Luna walked trough the crowd to the refreshment table. Once there, the two helped themselves to some of the cake, using their magic to cut a slice for each of them to enjoy. They then levitated the plates and forks in front of them and dug in.
As Celestia and Luna ate their cake, a small group of other guests came up to them. The Sisters recognized them as some of the Canterlot upper-class ponies.

One mare, named Sterling Silver, said "Greetings your highnesses. It's an honor see you tonight."

Celestia gulped down a bite of cake and replied "Thank you. It's good to see you too, Ms. Silver. It's been a while since we last talked, hasn't it?"

Surprised by Celestia's lack of usual manners, Sterling continued "I must say, I'm surprised to see the princesses out tonight, and with Discord of all ponies. Not to mention, your outfits are so unusual."

Celestia replied "Yup, Discord invited us to come with him. He's really changed in recent times. He actually dose a lot of good these day."

"And is he the one who dressed you both this evening, as well?" asked Sterling Silver.

Celestia replied "He sure is. Don't we look amazing. Their not vey formal, I know. But that's the point. We here to help everypony have fun. And these costumes say "have a hopping good time". Right?"

Sterling Silver couldn't help giving a small smile and said "Well, yes, they are quite unique. You two look like your ready to go hopping through the carrot patch. Ha,Ha,Ha...".

"I know, right?" added Celestia, who then continued eating her cake.

Then another pony from the group stepped towards Luna. Luna was also eating her own cake in large bite, but this didn't surprise anyone, as it was normal for her.

The stallion, named Fancy Shmancy, said "Greetings, Princess Luna. I'm glad to see you out and about for once. It's been ages since any of us saw you at one of these events last."

Luna scarfed down some cake, then replied "I know. Being "Princess of the Night" means I work every night. But Discord is trying to help my learn to loosen up a little. So I decided this was a great opportunity. We're here to help entertain you all."

Fancy Shmancy said "And letting Discord dress you like a rabbit just to play games is his idea of "loosening up"? Quite strange. So far all it's done is make you stand out."

Luna gave a smirk and replied "Oh, come on, Fancy Shmancy. You can't honestly say that things didn't get interesting when Me, my sister, and Discord walked into the room. We saw you and everypony else starring. And honestly, we liked it. We're glad if we can liven things up for you all."

Fancy Shmancy gave a smile and said "Well, you and your sister do look charming as ever. And I must admit, I'm curious to see what entertainment the Royal Sisters and Discord can provide together."

Luna simply replied "Don't worry. We have plenty of good tricks in store for tonight."

And with that, Celestia and Luna started to talk with everypony else in the group. As they went on, other guest came over to chat with the leotard wearing princesses. The Sisters went on to make jokes and do small magic tricks, helping everyone to enjoy themselves. Soon enough, everypony started ignoring the outfits and talked to them as they would anyone else. Celestia and Luna could feel the atmosphere start to lighten up all around them. And they could tell, this was going to be a good night.
