Twilight Sparkle found herself floating in empty space. She was still corrupted, and she was still wondering what Discord was planning to do with her.

"Where are we Discord?" she asked, annoyed.

"I'm giving you what you want, remember" he replied.

"What, my apology?"

"No, I'm giving you something much better"

"And what is that?"

"I don't think you heard me before. I'm taking you back in time to when we had our get together"

"Why? Why would you do that?"

"To fix you! to fix the elements! to fix your friends! to fix Fluttershy!"

"I get it" Twilight interrupted. "Are you sure this is better than an apology?"

"Much, much better than any old apology!" Discord smirked.

"Something tells me that this is a bad idea"

"Oh yes, I see your memories from when you weren't corrupted are flowing back. You did mention that after Pinkie Pie suggested it" Discord laughed. "But when I do it, this time it will be different. No pony will be able to see or hear us, so we won't be altering anything. Just like when we revisited the riddle that one time"

"Whatever. This better be satisfying, or else"

"It will, it will. It will answer all of your questions!"

Finally they had arrived a few days earlier to the castle.

"You're sure we've gone back in time?" Twilight asked.

"Oh yes. If you don't believe me, I can prove it" Discord replied. He snapped his fingers. They were inside the library. They saw Twilight and Spike getting ready for the book-sort-cation.

"That's me!" Twilight pointed out. "I look so young!"

"Twilight, this was only three days ago. You haven't changed" Discord replied.

"Didn't we just shelve all the books in the library a few months ago?" Spike asked the other Twilight.

"Yes, but that was because we needed to! This is just because I want to! I call it my 'book-sort-cation'! Three uninterrupted days of reorganizing books. Can you think of anything more relaxing?" The other Twilight asked.

"Well, claw massages, back rubs, bubble baths..." Spike paused. "You weren't really looking for an answer, were you?"

"I've even devised a better system for organizing them. It decreases the amount of time it takes to find a book you're looking for by nearly three quarters of a second!"

Spike just stared at all of the books.

"Whoa. That much?" he asked.

"Look at them all. Why, there must be at least twenty thousand books to organize!"

"That seemed fun at the time, but now I know I should've had better things to do" The current Twilight said to Discord.

"Hoo" Owlowiscious exclaimed at Discord.

"Owlowiscious can see us?" Twilight asked.

"It seems like it" Discord replied. "Go on, shoo, shoo!" He chased the bird away from the view "Animals must be able to see us. Hmm, I didn't really think this through"

"Best long weekend ever! I'm sure we can make some time for a claw massage and a back rub too" The other Twilight added.

"Yes! Best long weekend ever!" Spike replied.

The pair proceeded into organizing books. The current Twilight looked down at herself from three days ago with a sad expression.

"What's wrong Twilight?" Discord asked

"I'm just so mad at myself. I shouldn't have been so anti social"

"Then again, you didn't even know about the gathering"

"You're right" Twilight replied. "Discord, I want to find out how it all went. How everyone got along so well"

"Your wish is my command, Princess"

The pair transported themselves to Fluttershy's cottage next, at around the same time the other Twilight had begun her book-sort-cation.

"Why are we at Fluttershy's house?" Twilight asked.

"This is where it all began, my dear". Discord clicked his fingers and they appeared in the house. Fluttershy was feeding her animals as usual when she heard someone knock. It was Discord. "Ta-da! My grand entrance!" Twilight gave no response. "Alright then, have your fun!"

"Hello Discord! It isn't time for our picnic already is it?" Fluttershy asked.

"Oh no, I know it's not for another hour or so. I've been keeping check of it" the other Discord replied, changing himself into a clock, then changing back. "But I just wanted to ask you something"

"Yes, what is it?"

Discord let out a huge sigh.

"I have the rousing suspicion that your friends don't like me very much"

"Why would you think that? Of course they do"

"Even after that incident at the Grand Galloping Gala? I brought along my friend the Smooze who caused nothing but trouble, I almost sent your plus one to an alternate dimension, and let's not forget all of the ooze getting everywhere!"

"You're still worried about that?" Fluttershy asked. "I'm pretty sure they've forgotten all about it by now"

"I'm not sure about that. Especially Rainbow Dash. She seems to hate me the most"

Fluttershy put her hoof on his lion paw.

"That was in the past, Discord. And she doesn't hate you, she was just concerned for me because of your past actions and so was everypony else. Don't beat yourself up about it"

Discord just laughed at what Fluttershy said.

"I already know that! That's why I have a plan for today's picnic!"

"You do?"

"Why don't we invite all of your friends and I can get along with them better like I got along with you"

"Discord, that's a wonderful idea. I would like it if my friends could get along with you better. Then I wouldn't have to be your only friend"

"Perfect! let's ask them right now! This is going to be a treat!"

Fluttershy grabbed the snacks and headed out the door with Discord. After they left, Twilight stood there wide eyed.

"So that's why you had the get together. You wanted a chance to get to know us better"

"And I did didn't I?"

"Except me, because I wasn't there! And this still doesn't explain the jokes that I don't get"

"Never fear, Twilight my dear. That is in the next chapter of the story, I believe it's chapter 7"

"What are you on about?"

"Oh nothing. Let's just see how this get together works out!"


Author's Note

Discord broke the forth wall! *face palm*:ajbemused:

But yeah. I really wanted to explore how the get together worked out. And like Discord mentioned, it will happen in part 7.
"I actually said chapter 7!"
Discord? don't interfere with the author's notes please.
"Oh, sorry"
Thank you.
