Sweetie Belle Saves The World (With Princess Luna, Maud, and Discord)

A shocked silence filled the room.

"oh." Discord's voice sounded small. Both he and Sweetie Belle looked like they had been told that the world was going to end tomorrow, which was a very real possibility as far as they knew. Princess Luna looked grim. Maud looked like... well, Maud.

Luna looked at Maud. "You do realize how serious this is, right, Miss Pie?" She said as she gestured to Maud's bored look.

"Yes, I do, Princess. In fact, I'm absolutely terrified."

Luna began to speak, "Bu-"

"Don't ask," said Sweetie. "That's not important. What's important is what Tirek escaping has to do with us, specifically. Like, why are we here. Why not Princess Celestia? Wait, does Princess Celestia even know?"

"I'm going to have to agree with Sweetie Belle. Why are we so special in this situation? Why not call Twilight and the girls. I'm sure King Thorax wouldn't mind," said Discord.

"Because I need you three, but Sweetie Belle most of all."

"ME?!?!?!" cried Sweetie Belle.

"Do remember what I said to you last night, when I came to visit you in your dream?"

"Something like, 'The mind of a young pony is bursting with imagination.' or something like that. But that still doesn't explain anything," replied Sweetie Belle.

"Allow me to elaborate: While Tirek may have escaped it was only yesterday so he is still very weak. But we can't use magic to capture him so we will need to be more creative in how we catch him," explained Luna.

*SNAP!*

"And nothing made purely from chaos magic, Discord. He can use that, so put away your flying pigs."

Discord sighed and rolled his eyes. "Fine. But how did you know he escaped if it only happened yesterday?"

*SNAP!*

In a flash of light, the pigs were gone.

"I went to taunt him, like I've done every Tuesday since we put him back in there," replied Luna, smiling slightly.

"Excuse me." Maud had been silent up until this point. "Where do I come into play in all this?"

"I was just about to explain," said Luna, grateful Maud got the conversation back on track. "As I said earlier, we'll need to be more creative in how we capture Tirek so that is why I have summoned Sweetie and Discord here, not to mention Discord can gain access to many items that may be otherwise inaccessible. Now, Maud, you are here because you are sisters with Pinkie Pie and have lived with her shenanigans for many years, so that might be of some inspiration for you, but it's mainly because you have quite the imagination of your own. Granted, it might be mostly rock-based but I get the feeling that might come in handy. Now, I suggest that Sweetie Belle be leader of our little band, seeing as how she has the most non-chaos-magic-based imagination. Plus, I just finished re-reading "Lord of the Horseshoe and a small pony was the leader, so yeah."

"What!? But I'm just a filly! And besides, Princess Luna, shouldn't you be in charge? You are a princess."

Discord, Maud, and Luna all looked at each other.

"Yes, but Discord and I have already been prominent figures who have saved the world, and we rarely see you or Maud as the main characters, and Maud doesn't like to be in charge. That's usually Limestone Pie's job."

"Oh. Ok. Wait... did you say main characters? Like in a story?" asked Sweetie Belle.

Luna and Discord looked at each other nervously.

"Umm... it was a... uh..." stammered Discord.

"T'WAS A METAPHOR! Yes, a metaphor!" cried Luna hastily, slipping into her Royal Canterlot Voice out of nervous.

Sweetie Belle shrugged. "Alright then. Strange metaphor but makes sense I guess. Where are we going?"

Luna turned to the draconequus of chaos, "Discord, would you mind taking us to Manehatten?"

"Fine, but I'm not a taxi service, you know," grumbled Discord.

"Hey, you owe me after the 'Accord Incident'."

"Sheesh. Not pulling any punches are you, Luna?"

Luna smirked. "Nope. Now... to Manehatten!!!"

*SNAP!*
